Mac
Guys, you don't understand. You don't understand to start. This is really serious. My favorite mom doesn't know I go to Foster's every day. If she wakes up and sees you here, she'll know and she might never let me go back.
You mean, we never, ever see you ever again? [cries again after Mac shakes his head no]
Mac
That's what I'm talking about.
[Eduardo covers his mouth, muffling the crying]
Why didn't you tell us to be quiet before?
[Mac exits his apartment door and sees Coco and Goo throwing eggs at the Applebee's door instead of his]
Mac
Goo, that's not my door!
Will you speak up?! I can't hear a thing you're saying!
AMr. Applebee
[comes out of the door after waking up; cheerfully] Well, hello there! What can I do you gals for? [Goo accidentally knocks him out unconscious by throwing an egg at him in the face]
AMrs. Applebee
[comes out, seeing her husband, unconscious; waves to Coco and Goo, cheerfully] Thank you so much! [drags her husband back into their apartment] He's been having the worst insomnia. [closes the door and they go back to sleep]
Mac
Go home!
Not until you let us into the party!
Mac
There is no party!
[coming out; shouting] I told you no girls allowed!
Mac
Bloo, get back inside!
I hope there is the party!
Mac
[screaming loudly] STOP, STOP, STOP AND BE QUIET, YOU'RE GOING TO WAKE EVERYBODY UP!!!
[off-screen] What is going on?
[Everyone turns to see that he's woken up]
[Mr. Herriman, Frankie, Goo, and all the other imaginary friends are shocked with horror at all the destroyed party decorations in the library by Mac]
Mac
I warned Bloo not to throw me a party! Every year, I tell him no more parties! But does he listen?! NO! HE NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER LISTENS!!! But he'll listen now! [laughs manically]
Mac, this party isn't for you.
[enters with Artie, blindfolded] Surpri-- [notices the wreckage] Whoa, what the heck happened in here?
Mac
[looks around, seeing everything is birthday-themed after Artie, and looks down at the squashed cake; shocked at realizing what he had done] I didn't…
AArtie
[heartbroken] I was four years old. [runs out of the library, sobbing]
Mac
I thought this was my party. [to Goo] You said you ruined the surprise.
I didn't. Artie saw me walking with my present for him.
Mac
And I left.
Artie left, too, remember? He walked out the door.
And I didn't want to tell him about the curtains because then everyone would know I can sew.
IFImaginary Friend
You can? I can sure use me some pants.
Master Mac, when you told me you hate parties, my chief concern was protecting this one from you. But I see now no party is safe from the likes of you. You will destroy each and every one, even if that means destroying lives in the process. [hops out of the library]
Mac
But… [attempts to stop him, but retracts]
[Everyone leaves the library, all disappointed with him while scolding him]
[annoyed] You es muy, muy meano.
[Coco squawks annoyingly at him]
[also annoyed] Maybe next time, you could talk about your problems, instead of taking them out on a little imaginary friend.
[also annoyed] Like I didn't have enough to clean.
How could you, Mac? He was four years old today! Four years old.
Mac
[sulking in shame] I thought it was my party.
[mumbles to Cheese to stop him from screaming] Rock-a-bye crazy on the treetop. When the wind blows, the cradle will destroy. When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall-
Oh, geez! Okay, um... Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his-
I got this one! The itsy-bitsy spider-
[Eduardo sighs]
Baa, baa, black sheep, have you-
Mac
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake-
[to "Three Blind Mice"] Co-co-co, co-co-co-
Quick, someone think of another song! Something that's not scary!
I got one! Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts, mutilated monkey meat, chopped-up baby birdies' feet. Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts floating in my ice cream. and I don't got a spoon.
[to Goo] You're a genius! [Goo smiles with satisfaction; runs up to Mac] Did you get it all?
Mac
[tired and exhausted] Yeah, I think I actually did!
[with eyes tearing up with victory] Do it, Mac. Press "enter."
[As Mac slowly presses the "enter" button, Cheese stupidly gets in the way, pressing all the buttons in the back of his head]
Yeah! I like fishy crackers!
[pulls to get the doors open but they're still locked and turns to Cheese; incredibly infuriated] YOU! If you had only listened to one of the thousand times I told you, [gets into his face] YOU…DON'T…LIVE…HERE! GO HOME!!!
[Frankie looks up and is shocked to see the news reporting team have finally arrived]
Mac
Wait, stop! Stop! [stops Madame Foster from bashing Lil' Lincoln and Moose with a broomstick, thinking they're intruders] They're not intruders. They're just imaginary friends. I brought them here. This is Lil' Lincoln and his au pair, Moose. You see, I was at school, and the teacher took these guys away from the kids who created them, and why? Because one of them was created to cheat and the other one's a big bully. So what? That's not their fault. That's no reason to lock them up in a closet forever, so what could I do? I had to rescue them and bring them here, right?
[pats him on the head] You're a good boy, Mac. You did the right thing. It's a pleasure to meet you both.
LLLil' Lincoln
Madame, the pleasure is all mine.
[As Mac leaves the school building, he doesn't see Wilt as the new flagpole as he passes by]
Mac
Wilt?
Mac
[speechless] What are you doing?
Oh, your principal adopted me and gave me this job.
Mac
Okay? [resumes walking off]
Mac
This is all my fault. If I didn't bring them here, none of this would've ever happened. [sadly] I'm really sorry, guys.
Oh, it's okay, you couldn't have known. We've just got to figure a way out of here and stop the tyranny of Abraham Lincoln!
We're never getting out of here! All the friends are gone, the madame is brainwashed, all hope is lost!
Mac
No! There is one who can save us!
Grandma, he's a crook! He locked us in the closet!
Mac
He sold all the imaginary friends to make money and he's gonna turn Foster's into a casino!
He made me be his maid! [upset] Called me his First Lady.
Wherever do they get these imaginations? [chuckles] Is that the paperwork giving you control of everything, dear?
LLLil' Lincoln
Just a formality, my darling. Just scribble your nom de plume right there, and it's bon voyage.
[Foster's is celebrating their 5-year creator reunion picnic weekend on a beautiful day where all creators come to visit their former imaginary friends]
Mac
Wow! I think it's so amazing that Madame Foster hosts this reunion every five years. It means so much for the imaginary friends to see their creators every once in a while.
[unhappily] Hmph. I'll say.
Mac
What's wrong with you? You should be happy for all our friends.
Mac
Me? What are you talking about?
Look around you, Mac. These friends haven't seen their creators in years. YEARS! They are overcome with joy!
Mac
You know what I like best about the reunion? It's really cool to see what kind of people thought up all the friends we know.
Mac
You know whose creator I really wanna meet? [cut to Wilt standing sadly at a table with cupcakes] Wilt!
[cringing] Oh! Hey, Mac! Hey, Bloo! [clenching his teeth in a strained smile and twitching his good eye]
Mac
Is there something wrong?
[hesitantly] Yeah, sure! Never better! Sorry! Want some burgers? [instead offers Mac and Bloo a plate of cupcakes]
[takes a cupcake] Uh, thanks.
Mac
Hey, Wilt, where's your creator?
[11:00 P.M. in the night; Bloo wakes up, seeing Wilt packing his things in a bindle and leaves the room]
[groggy] Wilt? [follows him downstairs to the foyer and sees him talking to someone mysterious on the telephone]
[on the telephone] Yeah, that's right. It's me. Bet you'd hoped to never hear from me again, didn't you? It's time we set things straight once and for all! Oh, really? Fine! Fine, then it's on! I'll see you in two days! You can count on it! [slams the phone on the receiver in anger]
[surprised to see Bloo has followed him] Oh! I'm sorry, Bloo. Did I wake you?
Well, yeah...But don't you worry about it. [slings his bindle over his back]
"Don't worry about-?" [walks down a few more stairs to better see what Wilt is doing] What do you mean? Where are you going?!
I did something terrible, and it's time I set things right. [closes the door behind him and leaves the house]
Something...terrible? [hangs his mouth open in shock]
[Next morning; Eduardo, Mac, Coco, Frankie, Bloo, Mr. Herriman, and Madame Foster are all in the room, investigating on what happened the previous night]
Huh. Now if that ain't the pot leadin' the horse to water.
Well, he couldn't have just left.
Mac
[opens up Wilt's locker] Look. His locker's empty.
And his toothbrush is gone.
[checking under the bunk beds where Wilt usually sleeps and finds nothing there] Coco coco co co!
No note? No letter? No nothing.
Oh, that's not like him at all.
[The Foster's bus pulls up at Sara's house as Mac and Frankie stand at the doorway]
SSSara's Mom
[as the doorbell rings; weeping while dabbing her teary eyes with a tissue] Just a… minute. [answers the door]
Hello, ma'am. We hate to bother you, but… [Sara's Mom starts tearing up again] Oh, my gosh. Are-are you okay?
[poking out from the bus window; shouting] WILT MUST HAVE ROBBED THEM! HE'S GETTING DESPERATE!
SSSara's Mom
I'm fine. It's just… I love getting visitors. [starts weeping]
Mac
Oh, well, uh… We're looking for our friend. He's really tall and red with one arm.
SSSara's Mom
Oh, yes. He was here. [Mac and Frankie smile at each other; sniffs] We took him to the train station.
