People ask, where do you get your ideas?

Right here.

Oh, this is my magician's toy shop.

I'm Ray Bradbury, and this is...

Hey,

happy birthday, Doug.

21.

Take two on Dougie. Join the club, man.

Hello.

Hello, Ralph.

Ralph Underhill?

Yes. Who is it?

Hello.

Please, Ralph. I don't want to. I don't.

Gotcha.

Damn it. Dark Doug.

I can't believe you're only 40 years old. Seems like mom's past so quick.

Very distinguished, Douglas.

Dig for old.

So the underhilt boy says.

Said he heard something and got scared and ran.

Then he was scared to tell his folks.

Good Lord.

This was a game?

I hate you, Ralph.

I loved you, Ralph Underhill.

Hey, Ralph, best egg is in the world. You wanna see?

You will see it, Ralph.

Remember that birthday?

I do.

Good morning, honey.

Good morning.

That's pretty catchy.

Uh -huh.

Ooh.

When was the armistice, son?

People will little note nor long remember.

No.

But you remembered.

I must rise and go now.

But not to a be -loud glade. Ah, I must pack.

Want a hand?

No, no, I'm just going to put a couple of things in a bag for a couple of days.

Chicago, you said?

Yeah, Chicago.

They couldn't hate that.

No, as a matter of fact, they like that one. In fact, I think I may be sentenced

to the entire campaign.

Meet Doug, king of the jingle.

Stupid dinosaur.

Go play piano, sissy.

Don't look much better next to me, shrimp.

Want to step on the piano stool?

But you've got a special gift Doug.

That's far more important than being in some club.

This is Marvel.

Marbles aren't for normal kids.

So, great, Doug. Let me see it. Come on, give me.

Who needs it?

Need anything else?

No,

just a check, thanks.

You're welcome.

Wiley's windows.

I won't hurt these pretty little fingers.

You ain't part of our club, Spalding.

You never belong anywhere.

They try to think you're okay, but we know.

Don't we, Doug?

Just look me up when you're old and gray.

I'll remind you.

Look you up, bro.

Is this your place?

Used to be mine.

See up there?

My bedroom window.

I used to lie up there summer mornings, waiting for my pals to come and toss

pebbles on the window.

Call me out to play.

They didn't like me playing the piano.

All that practice, even winning competitions.

They thought I was weird.

Said I was nuts.

You too?

No chickening out when she got started.

That's the rule.

I made a mistake, Ralph.

Dark Doug.

Please, Ralph.

Don't! I hate it here.

I'm scared. I'm scared.

The only way Doug's guys who want to be part of our club have to spend their

birthday night in the ravine.

Sometimes they get in.

And sometimes they just die.

You, Ralph.

You.

Thank you.

I think there's someone on the porch, Ralph.

My initiation fee, Ralph.

My initiation fee to the club.

Who is it?

old buddy.

Me.

Who's there?

Me.

Me!

Who?

Dead, Ralph.

Bang!

You're dead.

Doug?

Doug?

Is that you?

Doug?

Doug, is... Is that you?

Wait for me.
