Tooth Fairy Page #7

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

a favor and just give it up, okay.

Derek!

Look, baby. I'm sorry but

it's for his own good. Trust me.

Come on, Tess!

- What is wrong with you?

- I had a bad day.

- You had a bad day?

- Yeah, I had a bad day, okay.

No, no. That is not okay.

You are never gonna speak

to my children again.

- We are done.

- Carly.

You know what your problem is,

Derek? You can't say what if.

And you never will.

Okay. Okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

Alright.

Who wants to hear some good news?

I do. Come on.

- Why are you here?

- Lily gave me this.

Obviously, it's just a permit but

the main thing is I'm on the way.

Okay well, you should be

on your way out of my place.

I'm going to bed.

No, this is all thanks to you.

We got to go out and celebrate.

I know a place where all the hot

fairy godmothers hang out.

Are you out of your mind?

I just lost everything that's important

to me. My girlfriend, those kids.

And I'll probably just

hang out my skates for good.

All because like an idiot I bought

into your tooth fairy garbage.

And look where it's gotten me.

What? You make one effort

after all these years

and it doesn't work out and

suddenly you're just gonna give up?

It's not suppose to be that easy.

And you know it.

I'll tell you what I do know. I

know that you don't have wings.

So that means you can't fly.

That also means that you can never

ever ever be a tooth fairy.

And what happens if you try to

escape out of a 10-storey building?

I'll tell you what happens.

Splat! Just like that.

You know what's really sad?

The person you hurt the most

with all your dream killing is not

Randy or Carly or even me.

- It's you.

- Get out.

- Fine.

- Good.

Fine.

I'm going to bed.

Ice Wolves still trailing 1 to nothing.

And Derek Thompson is still

completely in the coach's doghouse.

I don't think he's seeing a second

of ice time the whole game here.

Here we go.

Here we go.

As he has all game on transport

tranquil the mute grove

continues to replace

Thompson on the first line.

Face off won by the Glover Myth.

Oh, what a hit!

Donnelly seals the puck. Now he's

rushing up the ice sure-handed.

Only Claudey can get back.

Let's go, Mick.

Let's go, Mick.

This is classic, Jim. Every move

Donnelly makes comes unanswered.

Donnelly moves to his left. Oh,

he's got blood out of detention

and Donnelly moves around him.

He's got the defense of Mcphee, he shoots.

Oh, it's a crossbar.

Hey, what happened?

He blew the whistle.

That behind the play, Jim.

Petranco got sucker punched

and I don't think he's getting up.

Thompson. Go.

Go!

Alright, here we go, boys!

The Ice Wolves have less

than a minute to score, Jim

and send this game in overtime.

Off the face off, it's

Classford with the puck

and he start there driving

as the clock winds down.

I don't know, Jim. It looks to me like Thompson

is just going through the motions out there.

Thompson just got leathered!

How could that not be a penalty?

He just got tossed.

I think the Tooth Fairy just got

a taste of his own medicine.

Look at Thompson, Jim.

It looks like he's got some

jump back in those legs.

Thompson's rushing across the ice

and I don't think it's to make friends.

Well, this is gonna hurt.

No, he pulled off, Jim. He didn't

throw a check. Incredible!

He steals the puck and now is

barreling down the ice.

- Look at him go!

- They just can't keep up with Thompson.

He's making moves we

haven't seen in a long time.

What is that guy?

Thompson now has only

one defender to beat.

- He takes the stick on the face.

- I don't think he's going down.

No, he stays on his feet.

He's gonna shoot!

He shoots!

He scores!

Derek Thompson has not take a shot

in nine years and one of the most

amazing shots I've ever seen

and ties it up at one-all.

Call me the mayor of Southville.

Let's do it again.

Hey old man.

Not bad.

Nice shot, dude!

And here we go. We're under

head to the center line for a face off.

Oh no.

The Ice Wolves win the draw.

Here's a cross slice pass

to Thompson who ices it.

- Why would he do that, Ed?

- I have no idea, Jim.

No, I can't leave now.

This is my last chance

to actually play the game.

To go out the way I came in.

Well, I could cover for you.

After what I've seen, you deserve it.

Thompson, what are you doing?

- Who's he talking to?

- Yeah, but aren't you just a trainee.

- Isn't that breaking the rules?

- Please, I've learned from the best.

But I do think, you should

look at the address

before you decide.

It's Carly's house.

- Hey 14, come on, let's go.

- Thompson! Get back in the game.

- I can go. Lily does not have to know.

- But I'll know.

This is my house to take care of.

- Let's do this.

- How? You can't fly.

- Good time to learn.

- I knew you had it in you.

Go get them.

You wanna fly you gotta believe.

No need to panic. It's

just a giant amnesia gun.

It's painless. You

won't remember a thing.

Don't you forget about me...

You will.

Good luck finding your cars.

- Tess.

- Derek.

- Hi, honey.

- Hi, Derek.

- I like your costume.

- I have to tell you something.

I was wrong. The tooth fairy.

It's real and it's me.

I know.

No, honey, I'm not talking

about the hockey tooth fairy.

I'm a real tooth fairy.

No, you're not.

- You are the real tooth fairy.

- It will just be our secret, okay.

Okay.

Randy.

What are you doing here?

- I have to talk to you.

- Go away.

Listen. Those things I said

yesterday, I was wrong.

I don't care.

You gotta keep playing

guitar. You're really good.

And nothing you love doing that

much could ever be a waste of time.

I'm so sorry.

Even if I wanted to, I can't.

I smashed my guitar, remember?

Tonight is the Talent Show.

Hold on a second.

- Maybe this will help.

- Whoa, it's awesome.

- How did you do that?

- All-purpose magic generator.

- What are you wearing?

- You'll find out.

In the meantime,

put some clothes on.

We can still make

the Talent Show, okay.

Come on.

Derek.

Mommy! Derek is the tooth fairy.

You rented a fairy costume

to make it up to Tess.

Yes, that's what I did.

Hey mom, Derek got me a new guitar

and he's taking me to the Talent Show.

- What time is it? You'll never make it.

- Don't worry about that. We can make it.

You, that way. You guys, go upstairs

and get there soon. We'll see you.

Oh yeah.

- Where's your car?

- No car. Let's go.

Hang on.

- How is this happening?

- It's okay, it's okay.

Yeah, but like, how was it possible?

Well, it all started one night I

got a summons underneath my pillow.

What the heck is a summons?

A summons is like an invitation. I

got an invitation to go to Fairyland.

- Fairyland?

- It's where I got these cool wings.

I met this guy up there named Tracy.

He kinda looks like a walking

toothpick with the eyes of a big tuna.

By the way I can shrink

myself down to six inches.

Pretty good.

What?

Sorry buddy, I've already

broken enough rules.

Randy, there you are. We've
