Tooth Fairy Page #4

Synopsis: Derek Thompson is 'The Tooth Fairy,' a hard-charging minor league hockey player whose nickname comes from his habit of separating opposing players from their bicuspids. When Derek discourages a youngster's hopes, he's sentenced to one week's hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with the requisite tutu, wings and magic wand. At first, Derek "can't handle the tooth" - bumbling and stumbling as he tries to furtively wing his way through strangers' homes...doing what tooth fairies do. But as Derek slowly adapts to his new position, he begins to rediscover his own forgotten dreams

No, no, no. I don't want

another minute of this.

So what do you suggest, Einstein?

I can't fly so do what?

How about you shrink yourself

down and slide under the front door?

Of course, just shrink

and slide in.

Yeah, that's what anybody

would do in this situation.

- Is this gonna hurt?

- Let's hope so.

- Come on.

- And how do I get big again?

Oh, it's automatic. From

the moment you shrink

you start to gradually regrow.

It only takes about an hour.

Come on.

- I can't believe this.

- Eat it.

Shut up.

Do you like it?

Yum, yum, Derek Thompson.

Nice.

Oh, not so brave now,

little wee man.

No, no, no, no, no...

Wing jokes aren't so funny now,

are they? The shoes on the other foot.

- Okay, okay

- Now, you should shoe me some respect.

I'll shoe you some respect when I get

bigger, I'm gonna get up there

put that shoes on your face.

- You shouldn't upset me.

- Is that the best you got?

- Just take the money.

- Hey, watch it. Don't throw money.

Money's heavy.

Money is heavy.

I hate this. I can't believe...

Oh my wing, my wing.

I'm the tooth fairy.

I'm the tooth fairy.

- Honey, what's the matter?

- I saw something.

- What did you see?

- It was a little tiny man.

Nice kitty. Don't hurt me, kitty.

I'm a tooth fairy.

Disappear. Kitty be gone.

- Derek.

- Carly.

- Come cuddle with me.

- No.

- What?

- Going to bed. Still not well.

I'll call you when I'm bigger

I mean better.

Hello hockey fans. I'm Steve Libby

coming to you from Wolf Den

here in Lansing, Michigan.

Home of the Lansing Ice Wolves.

We're about to see the potentially

historic debut of an 18-year old phenom

Mick Donnelly who is just about set

to take the ice for the first time.

- So kid, you pumped up for your first game?

- Yeah, pops. I'm super pumped.

It just means one last game

till I'm out of here and into the bigs.

You know what, I'm done being generous.

This is my kingdom, you're in my kingdom

now. I'm the king. You're not even a prince.

You know what you are, you're

like one of those little guys in tights

running around the court in a peepy wig.

Looks like you've been dethroned.

This is it. Final minute, regulation time.

The Ice Wolves lead the Roughnecks 2-1.

And the kid Donnelly has more than lived up to

the height. He's still working on that hattrick.

Off the face off, the puck

comes back to the Roughnecks.

There's a quick shot. Nice save.

The puck goes into the corner

and Donnelly picks it up.

Oh, now he puts on the brake

and spins out of trouble.

Whoa, look at him flying, Jim.

He beats another defender.

And here he comes.

Donnelly is pressing up the ice.

What a move!

He's going to the Roughnecks

like they're a bunch of blinded mules.

Donnelly surfing around the Roughneck goal.

He looks upfront to pass.

Now, he kicks off the board.

Now, Donnelly cruise himself off the

board and takes a pass from center.

He looks to shoot.

No, not now.

What a move! Crashing open ice

hit to Donnelly and he's down.

Like Thompson was gonna clear

Lamberg out of the zone and suddenly,

instead he just dropped

to the ice, no one even touched him.

Hey, Thompson, you cost me a

hattrick and an interview on ESPN.

Hey, get over here.

I wanna talk to you.

What are you doing?

Let's get out of here.

No, no, not...I'm very busy right now.

No autographs, I'm busy.

Fine, I'll wait.

What are you guys talking about?

- What's he wearing?

- Check out his feet.

Disappear.

No, no, no. Either you

come out or we're coming in.

- One...

- Stop it.

Two...

Three!

What happened? Why are you late?

Where have you been?

- Don't talk to me.

- Why are you wet?

- Shut up and I hate this job.

- What's that smell?

That's intense. I can't breathe.

That's too much.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- What the...

- Mom, I'm home.

Where's the kid?

- Be nice, be respectful and nice.

- I just came out of a toilet. You think I care?

Ah, Mama Fairy, there is your

tooth. So you do it with it, whatever

it is you do here in Fairy

World with your teeth.

Mr. Thompson, according to your case worker,

you're exactly embracing the Tooth Fairy spirit.

Really, is that what my case worker said?

So you called her and told her that.

Well, let me tell you something.

My case worker here has wing envy.

- Not true.

- It is true!

I am a giant fan of the job I do.

And all the administrating...

- You hate this job.

- I love it. I look forward to it.

No you don't.

You hate this.

Will you two stop it?

Just look at what you

have done to this family.

- Who are you?

- Who are you?

I don't know.

Am I home yet?

It's not funny.

Did you see the dog?

His eyes were like that.

You overdid it.

Fairy Godmother, who is your

supervisor? Who is above you?

Gandhi? Who do I talk to?

Because I wanna file

a complaint right now.

- You have another assignment.

- Another tooth. Are you kidding me?

Sometimes, there's a double-header.

Come on, just tell me where the tooth

is so I could get it and just go home.

Oh no, not until the child falls asleep.

Till then, I'm afraid you have to wait.

One kid's falling asleep in the afternoon,

another kid's up all night.

- Cup of tea.

- Good tea?

Refreshing.

Hi-ya, you feeling any better?

Yeah, a little bit. How

about you guys come on up?

- Hi Derek!

- Hi gorgeous!

Actually I have a

really big favor to ask.

Tess and I just got a last

minute invitation to...

- To beauty makeover party!

- Nice.

A beauty makeover party and I

was wondering because you're not

getting along so well now if Randy could

hang out with you for a little while.

Yeah, yes, of course.

Super. Great. Thank you.

I'll make it up to you.

I don't wanna.

Here. Give it a shot.

Bye.

Don't even think about talking

Okay.

You should put this away

Now you could get out of here.

Beat it.

- Oh, you are in trouble now.

- We'll see.

Oh, I know, we'll see.

Can you beat two pair?

Call me and find it out.
