Thanks!

You're a good cook, Elliott.

Remember the night when you first confided

And things went so right that we both decided

Now we're together and life is perfect

Don't ever disappear

(HUMMING)

Oh, really?

Oh, you're just saying that

Is it true?

-I wasn't lying. -That's a lie on top of a lie.

You're not one of my pupils.

(STUTTERING) I don't go to school.

I knew it.

That's just what this town needs. Another ignoramus.

No, Elliott.

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

You disgusting little street urchin!

You could be locked up for this. Where's the sheriff?

Yes! Your fingernail!

Gentlemen, I propose to say

(EXCLAIMS)

It seems to say, "Welcome!"

You absolute oaf!

You idiot!

Hey! Hey, you look terrible.

Hey, your friend's turned green.

It was this close to me.

Why don't you lie down, Dad? Come on.

And you know what else? It started to smile at me.

Well, did you smile back?

I didn't have time to smile. I was too busy running.

I'm sorry, Elliott. I didn't really mean that.

It's just I don't know what to do and I'm scared.

(SNIFFLES)

(GROANS)

NORA: Hello, in there!

(WHISPERING) Get back!

Just playing tic-tac-toe.

The tide's coming in, and high water reaches this cave sometimes.

You better head for home.

You're not from Passamaquoddy, are you?

Nope. Just sort of traveling.

Where are your parents?

Where are you staying?

-What's your name? -Pete.

I'm Nora, and I have to get back on watch, up in the lighthouse.

There's chowder on the stove if you'd like some.

What's the matter? It's a hand, not a shark.

You can finish that chowder,

if you'd like.

(EXHALES)

(SNIFFLES)

Oh! I forgot something. Be right back.

I forgive you, Elliott.

(GIGGLING)

Stay here till I see what it's like up in the lighthouse.

(BABBLING)

The Gogans own me, I guess.

They said it was against the law for me to ever leave them.

Where did you get that bruise?

Mr. Gogan. I was milking the cow and I missed the bucket.

-Had he done that before? -All the time.

This time, I'll just keep running.

Nora, no one's ever been this nice to me.

Pete, why don't you sleep here tonight? We'll figure out what to do tomorrow.

Okay?

Wonderful. I've got work to do. Come on.

But you're gonna get married, now, aren't you?

I'm already married to this lighthouse.

Who's that?

-Is he part of your family? -He almost was.

How come you weren't?

Well, as far as we know, ship was headed for a storm.

They were never heard from again.

He'll come back.

Standing up there watching for ships on the horizon.

Time I should be thinking of other things, so they tell me.

I'll have to ask Elliott about Paul.

Who's Elliott?

-My dragon. -Dragon?

(GASPS)

-So you're the boy with the dragon. -Yup.

That's interesting.

I've never known anyone with a dragon. What does he look like?

How plain? How ordinary?

(SINGING) He has the head of a camel

The neck of a crocodile

It sounds rather strange

And I hope he'll never change

/ won't let him get away

'Cause it's not easy

You say the head of a camel

The neck of a crocodile

And the ears of a cow!

-Good morning, sir. -Good morning, son.

-Nice to see you again. -Thank you.

(SCREAMS)

-It's you! -What's the matter?

It's you!

The boy with the dragon.

Yes, sir.

(SCREAMING)

Dad! Dad, what is it?

Well, I didn't actually see it, but I know what it looks like.

You're right. Right, there's nothing to get upset about.

Nothing. No, why should I get upset? I should be happy.

I should be happy. I'll go down to the saloon and I'll tell the boys.

I'll say, "Boys, here it is." And then hear the apologies.

(LAUGHS)

Elliott'll be happy to do it for you, sir.

Just you and me and Elliott. We'll go into the saloon.

He won't start to scratch or fight or set anything on fire, will he?

-Well, he's sort of... -Sort of what?

-Unpredictable. -Now, don't do anything with Elliott.

Why don't you leave him where he is?

It's too dangerous to take him into town.

It's dangerous.

Now, I don't want either one of you to say a word about Elliott to anyone.

NORA: Until we've talked this over.

The lamp has to be polished, and the lens cleaned,

and I want to take Pete to buy some new clothes.

I mean we'll clean the lamp.

Elliott! The name's Elliott. Did you hear that?

Doc Terminus is coming!

Are they still after us?

We lost them.

Good.

Madam, Dr. Terminus is here to cure you.

Eh?

Eh?

It's the humanity in me.

I hear birds chirping.

I hear children giggling.

I can hear. I can hear.

My medicine cured her, folks. Did you hear her bless me?

Well, I bless her, too. How wonderful I feel, right here in my heart.

Shamed be he who thinks evil of it.

You should all have help.

All I'm asking for is a miracle.

All he wants is a miracle, folks.

You can't bring Elliott up here.

Now, go on down and get the oil

so I can mark it up in the log that you did that.

Okay. Nora, first, can I bring Paul's picture down to Elliott?

Then he can start looking for Paul.

All right.

(DOOR CLOSING)

-Thanks, Dad. -For what?

I'm not making believe. I saw it. I actually saw it!

I was there. I saw nothing!

Dad, be realistic.

You wanna be realistic. Let's talk about how realistic you are.

Here you are, waiting for someone to come back

that just ain't gonna come back, Nora.

And if waiting for over a year hasn't told you nothing,

then you're not the one to talk about being realistic, are you?

Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

I'm going down to the hardware store.

My love for you will always burn

A cold and friendless tide has

Don't let the stormy darkness pull you down

I'll paint a ray of hope around you

Lighted by a prayer

I'll be your candle on the water

This flame inside of me will grow

Keep holding on, you'll make it

Thank you.

I'm getting tired, sick and tired,

of having to explain why we have a sail instead of horses.

-and plenty more. -More of what?

More anything. Look, I don't know.

Do you mind if I sound optimistic? This is the worst town on our route.

-Quoddy. -Yeah.

They all deserve to have whatever they have.

I'll drink to that.

I've had nothing, nothing but bad luck in this burg.

(EXCLAIMS)

-I'm sorry, Doc. -You see what I mean?

-Can I buy everybody a round? -Yeah.

Hey, 'cause, Doc, I got to talk to you. Okay?

Hey, you're a man of science, ain't you?

A man of science, yes. Yes, I am.

And the Moulin Rouge in Paris.

Why do you think they call me "Doc"? Because they sail their boats into me?

(LAUGHING)

You know anything about dragons?

Of course I do.

I see them in all the big cities going down the streets,

with that funny little walk, wearing bright colors,

-fluttering around... -No, no, no.

I'm talking about a real dragon. Real dragon.

With fire coming out of his mouth.

And he's got real wings.

You need a veterinarian.

-Why do you ask? -I saw one.

(LAUGHS)

I tell you, I saw a real dragon yesterday afternoon.

by the name of Pete.

You are trying to tell me that there is a dragon here

-in Passamacracka? -Quoddy.

I told you this was a rotten town.

Well, in my educated opinion, sir,

I think you've been up in your lighthouse too long.

Wait. Wait. Wait, listen. What if what I just told you was true?

would have an impact of gigantic proportions.

Mythology and legend would become history and science.

One could really make a quick buck with it.

Well, I can prove it. I can prove it!

His name is Elliott.

Unfortunately, I cannot make it right now.

-who's interested in a nursing career. -Oh.

-Well, see it you shall! -Okay.

But first... First, let's have a quick one.

Because of the rocks we have to climb.

-Dragon is scary. -Okay, we'll have one for your rocks.

And one for the scary.

Quoddy.

Hmm?

See this? Nora.

-Let's get out of here. -Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

I wanna pet him.

You wanna pet him?

Are you crazy?

No matter what you see in here, don't get scared.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Hey, I might as well tell you straight off,

HOAGY: Oh! No. LAMPIE: Oh! Yes.

And it's big.

50 feet of terror!

Claws! Claws so sharp they could tear a man to shreds.

(GULPS)

And a tail that's so big and powerful,

it could destroy the hull of a frigate!

It can wipe out an entire crew with one swish of his tail.

Face... Face so terrible, it could turn a man to stone,

a hero into a coward.

And a mouth so terrible,

it could devour a man and spit him 20 leagues.

Stay close.

(SPUTTERING)

(STUTTERING) It's got me!

Can't stop shaking, and I am smiling.

Hello. Hello. Hello, Elliott.

(BABBLING)

See how smart he is?

He said "hello" to me.

Yeah! He likes me!

You do something so he'll like you.

-Yeah.

Do something to make him like you.

You think?

Elliott, would you like a little belt?

(SNIFFING)

(GULPING)

(RUMBLING)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

(WHEEZING)

(HUMMING)

(PANTING)

Is it two parts fish oil and three parts seawater

Ten parts seawater? That much. No wonder they love it.

(STAMMERING)

-Saw it.

(STAMMERING)

What is an el-el-el dra-dra-dra?

Dragon. I saw the dragon.

Lampie wasn't lying. It's real. It belched flame at me.

Belched? You saw a belching dragon?

You sure you weren't belching yourself in front of the mirror?

Never saw anything so horrible in my life.

Thought I was a goner. There was no need for him to do that.

I just realized, I can't stand you when you're sober!

-I swear. A vicious dragon. -Out!

Dragon.

(HUMMING)

-Nine and nine are 18. -Really?

Nine times nine are 81.

Amazing.

-2,000 pounds make a ton. -Wow.

-That sign says, "Passamaquoddy." -You still have to go to school.

Do I have to like it?

Like it or hate it, you have to

Do you wanna be stupid when you grow up,

-like the Gogans? -Okay, I like it. I like it.

Isn't that the boy with the dragon?

-I think so. Let's go see. -Come on.

-Where is he? -Following me.

Elliott the dragon is walking right there.

He's not too big, is he?

Wow.

Pete, school.

I ain't got hardly nothing to sell.

I just docked. There ain't nothing out in that ocean but water.

MAN: There's the cause of it. That kid Pete.

-Don't be ridiculous. -It's that crazy dragon talk of his.

You're a bunch of superstitious ding-dongs.

You know that fishing grounds shift from time to time.

Elliott will make the fish come back.

There he goes, talking dragons again.

Hey, kid! There ain't no room in this town for a dragon,

then there's more than enough room for a dragon.

(SINGING) There's room for everyone in this world

If everyone makes some room

Won't you move over and share this world

Everyone make some room

Even a dragon deserves a place A wide-open space

With no reins, no chains

He wants to play games Dance with you

He only wants to belong

There's room for everyone in this world

Will everyone make some room?

Spread out while Elliott gets uncurled

-Rock him and ride him -Rock him and ride him

-And line up beside him -And line up beside him

A dragon is just one more stranger in search of a friend

From an ant to a bird to a buffalo herd

Step aside, let them live It's simple to give

Like us, they just need a home

There's room There's room for everyone for everyone

-In this world -In this world

Back up and make some room

-Let's all move over -Let's all move over

-Everyone make some room -Everyone make some room

Just think how far out the ocean goes

Think of the valleys and mountaintops The Earth never stops

-We all have part of the pie -We all have part of the pie

Welcome the dragon while you have a chance

Give him his moment

rise up and dance

There's room for everyone in this world

Will everyone make some room

Love given freely can spare this world

Let friendly feelings bloom

-Give a yard, never flinch -Give a yard, never flinch

So let's all make sure we give everyone somewhere to stand

Let's all make sure we give everyone somewhere to stand

Just the way God planned

Why is everybody late?

We were playing with Nora, Pete and his dragon.

-His wagon? -No, dragon!

Good morning, Miss Taylor.

Thank you for making my students late and for disrupting the entire schedule.

You have a new student.

This is Pete.

Oh! Him.

Unfortunately his old school burned down and his records were destroyed.

-Pete, give her nine times nine. -Eighty one.

Tragically, the flames from the schoolhouse

Do you want him to spell Passamaquoddy?

No, no, no. This is irregular, irregular, irregular.

But he needs education, an education, education.

Surely, you can't disagree with that?

I would if I could. But I can't.

(BELL RINGING)

Why is the bell ringing? There's no one out there.

I'll stop it.

Elliott, stop it!

(ELLIOTT GIGGLING)

The bell isn't supposed to ring till recess!

Liar, liar, liar.

It's the knuckle-cracker for you.

Three for lying and three for whom the bell tolls.

Come.

I told you. I told you!

Something crashed right through the school.

MAN 2: Look at it, I'm telling you. It's a big hole in the side of the wall.

And the dragon came in through one wall and went out the other wall.

I tell you, you've got to have a sense of humor these days.

-And you must be Pete. -Yes, sir!

I'm Dr. Terminus, and this is Hoagy, who's doing his internship with me.

I heard about the incident at school yesterday...

I'd rather not discuss it.

I realize you must be disturbed about it and up to here in dragons.

They're such wonderful creatures.

When they're not busy destroying things, of course.

that one day I would have my very own dragon.

I would consider my life to be fulfilled

and would be most grateful if you would sell me your dragon.

We'll give him a good home. Bless him.

I couldn't sell him.

I'll offer him $5, it'll make his head swim. $5.

-Well, what did you do, rent him? -Well, who owns him?

Well, nobody, I guess.

He just came to me. He only goes to those who need him.

I need him.

Listen, Doc, I don't know what you're up to, but you better forget about this.

-He's not for sale. -Nora, go paint your lighth

Look, deliver Elliott to me and the fiver is yours,

to bring on puberty two years ahead of time.

And that's better than a dragon.

Doc, maybe you should talk to Elliott yourself.

Down the beach.

-Where? -Right there, by the water.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

They know they're sitting on a gold mine.

Well, they've had their chance to make a few dollars.

That dragon doesn't belong to anybody. He's fair game and he's gonna be ours.

-It is? -Yeah.

Tell him, Nora.

Pete, Lampie and I have talked it over.

We feel the time has come for you to stop running.

Yes, it's true.

If it's all right with you, we'd like you to live here with us.

Oh! Nora, Lampie, do you mean this could be my real home?

-It certainly does. -Mmm-hmm.

And Elliott, too?

Wow! That's great.

You're the most wonderful dragon in the whole world.

Wait till I tell Nora!

(HUMMING)

Nora! Nora! Good news!

Elliott found Paul, and he's on his way home!

Pete...

But it's true. Elliott said.

Please.

There's been enough talk about Paul, and Elliott too.

(SIGHS)

Both of us have to be realistic.

Paul's ship went down. He's not coming back.

And I have to adjust my life to it.

You have us now.

You don't have to make believe your only friend is a dragon.

That's what I mean by "realistic."

There are no dragons.

Lampie, you've seen him, haven't you?

Well, I...

I thought I saw him.

Wait till Paul gets here. Then you'll know how realistic Elliott is.

Until that time, let's try not to talk about it.

How about filling the reserve oilcan?

Sure.

Well, at least one of us is entitled to have illusions.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

-What's the matter? -Elliott's in Passapaka... Pakadaka...

He's in town, and he's tearing the place apart.

-You've got to do something. -Oh! No!

(LAUGHING)

We should be in the channel.

We should've made Passamaquoddy light by now.

MAN: There it is.

It's my home port.

It's a welcome sight.

Looks great to me.

I know the light-keepers personally.

-He's in there! Come on! -Elliott! Elliott!

Didn't you say the primary was really the tertiary?

(MEN SHOUTING)

Never!

-Where's Elliott? -Nowhere!

Now you're never gonna get away again!

We're gonna put chains on you when you're working!

-And when you're not working. -And when you're sleeping!

Okay, okay. Tear him to pieces in your own time.

Right now he is the bait for the trap.

Take him in there where that thing can see him

when he comes through the door.

No! No!

Yes! Yes! Got it?

Got it!

What I don't got is, how you gonna get that monster,

that hideous beast, that nightmare sent by the devil, to come here?

Easy. We get someone he knows to bring him here.

Well, who'd be crazy enough to do that?

No! No!

He knows you. He trusts you.

He scares me! He hates me!

Hoagy.

and the time for your purpose is now.

But now, Hoagy, now, you're still nothing,

A legend, Hoagy.

(ELLIOTT BABBLING)

What happened?

We sank in a storm off Cape Hatteras.

I was the only survivor.

When I woke up in the hospital, I'd lost my memory.

Then the other day a strange thing happened.

but I bumped my head and everything came back to me.

ALL: It's a miracle.

It's Elliott.

Gather around, everyone.

Ladies... Ladies and gentlemen,

Pete, I want you to thank Elliott the dragon

He'd appreciate it if you'd thank him yourself.

You mean I can talk right to him?

Go right to the main source. That was my campaign.

You won't be back?

But why?

Did I do something wrong?

(MUTTERING)

There's another kid in trouble?

Well, if anyone can get him out of it, you can.

(GIGGLING)

(MUTTERING)

I won't see you again, will I?

Ever.
