[After Wheezie blamed Cassie and said it was Cassie who broke her trumpet and after Emmy's lie got her --Cassie-- and Zak in trouble.]
[crying --and to Emmy] THANKS A LOT, EMMY!
[Cassie cries. That is, after Emmy's lie got her --Cassie-- in trouble when Wheezie pinned the blame on her. Then, Cassie says...!]
[in between tears] NOW WHEEZIE IS NOT SPEAKING TO ME EVER AGAIN, AND I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING!
[Cassie says that thanks to Emmy, Wheezie is not going to speak to her again. And she didn't do anything. After Cassie accuses Emmy --for making Wheezie blame her-- she resumes crying. When Emmy --so she would not get in trouble with Wheezie for breaking her trumpet-- did not tell Wheezie, who had blamed both Zak and Cassie. So Emmy knew her lie had gotten both Zak and Cassie in such trouble.]
MMax
We have to tell Quetzal.
MMax
[panting] Emmy's in BIG trouble, because she wouldn't tell.
Uh, a story. I mean, I needed to ask you a question, Quetzal, and I, uh... I have to tell you a story to do it.
Well! Uh... There's this little mouse with ribbon in her hair.
And she accidentally broke something that belonged to a two-headed turtle.
And, well, the Little Mouse didn't know how to tell the Two-Headed Turtle what she did. What should she have done, Quetzal?
Well! If I were that Little Mouse with a red ribbon on my hair, I would have stood up straight, taken a deep breath, and told Wheezie that I broke her trumpet.
It's not important how I knew. What is important is what you are going to do about it.
I guess if a friend broke something of mine, I'd want them to tell me.
Tell you what? [He and the others come by.]
A little mouse broke my trumpet?
OK, I'm just going to do it. [draws deep breath] I broke your trumpet, Wheezie! I thought you'd be mad at me so I hid it. Then, I tried to fix it, but that only made it worse, so I asked Cassie to tell you, and, well, that didn't help either.
You should've just told me, Emmy, and then I wouldn't have made Zak or Cassie feel bad. [to Zak and Cassie] Sorry.
ZCZak and Cassie
That's OK, Wheezie.
I know I should say I'm sorry. I bet no one wants to be my friend any more...
You do?! [Cassie nodded] [to Wheezie] How about you, Wheezie?
I'm pretty glad you told me, Emmy. Of course we're still friends. [She and Emmy hug each other.]
We'll just have to play our song another time.
Maybe not, Ord. [He sprinkled some of his magic on the trumpet, which gets fixed.]
My trumpet! You've fixed it, for real!
MMax
Uh, Emmy, I have something to tell you.
MMax
I think I broke your dolly.
Oh, that old thing? It's always falling apart.
MMax
You mean, it's already broken, and you're not mad at me?
MMax
Good, because... Remember your tea set?
[Max hears Emmy close the door.]
[Emmy goes into the car --to go shopping at the grocery store with their dad-- unaware of the dragons calling.]
MMax
EMMY...!? YOU GOT TO COME BACK! [echoes] Where did you go?
[The car drives away. Mom --Emmy and Max's mother-- comes out of her bedroom. And she asks Max...!]
[from in the hall --and offscreen] Max? Did you call me?
[But their mom is unaware that Emmy was going grocery shopping with their dad. And Max was left behind --that is, to go to Dragon Land without Emmy. What is more, Emmy --on the other hand-- is going shopping with their dad. That is, even though she was supposed to go to Dragon Land with Max.]
MMax
[calls back] No, Mom!
[Mom --Max and Emmy's mother-- leaves, blissfully unaware. Max turns back to himself. And he says...!]
MMax
The dragons are calling! I just don't want to go without Emmy. But you have no idea... WHAT IF THEY NEED ME!?
[Max takes out the dragon scale. And he says the rhyme.]
MMax
[with the dragon scale] I wish, I wish,
with all my heart,
To fly with dragons in a land apart.
[At the end.]
[as she gets back home from the supermarket with their dad] You should have come, Max! Dad gave me a quarter so I could ride on the big blue dinosaur which was in front of the store.
MMax
That is nothing. Because I went to Dragon Land by myself. [he tells Emmy about his adventure without her] I was captain of a submarine. And I was searching for a missing sea dragon.
Oh, Max! Am I glad to see you!
[Emmy talks to Max about the dinosaur at the supermarket. Their dad had given Emmy a quarter and Emmy she got to ride the dinosaur in front of the supermarket.]
Just because I got to ride the dinosaur (at the supermarket), you do not need to make up a story.
Max! Emmy! I'm going to the store to get dinner and ice cream. Be back in 15 minutes!
MMax
Only 15 minutes? I can wait that long, easy!
[They sit down and draw pictures]
MMax
I drew a circle. Your turn.
[Suddenly they realize what they drew]
MMax
Oh, no! It looks like an ice cream cone!
[They realize they have to wait as the view goes black]
[Emmy finds a keyboard in the playroom and starts playing a song on it. She sings Three Blind Mice. That is, as she sings...!]
[singing while playing her toy keyboard] Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run.
MMax
[giggles] That's funny!
[Next Emmy tries another song. It is called Baa Baa Black Sheep. That is, as she sings...!]
[singing while playing her toy keyboard again] Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
[Max wants to play the keyboard too. So he says...!]
[Emmy refuses to let Max have a turn. And she says...!]
[angrily] NAH-UH! I AM PLAYING WITH IT! (I HAD IT FIRST!)
[Max tries to tell their mom. That is, about Emmy not sharing the keyboard. So he says...!]
MMax
[to Mom] MOM?! EMMY IS NOT SHARING THE KEYBOARD (AGAIN)!
[from outside the playroom --and to Max] Try to find something else until it's your turn, Max.
[Max --who quickly buries the hatchet-- completely forgets about the keyboard and then, regards to Dragon Land.]
MMax
Maybe Ord has something cool to share with me.
