Dialogue
[edit][Gibberish]
Oh! Gentlemen...
A dragon, a dragon
I swear I saw a dragon
A green and seething
fire-breathing monster is in sight
With eyes of red a lion's head
and wings as dark as night
Oh, he has a jaw of gleaming teeth
He's feet in height
It's true, it's true
Oh, what are we to do
It's true, it's true
He'll break us all in two
Oh, he's comin' in
His great big fin
is right against the door
So board up all the windows
And get down on the floor
Has anybody seen my dad?
Nora, please,
my child, come in.
- Get off that street.
- What's the matter?
- Worst thing I ever saw
in my life out on the street.
- What was it?
- I don't want to tell you for
fear it'll scare you to death!
- Scare me.
A dragon, a dragon
I swear I saw a dragon
His tail lashing, he'll be
smashing every shop in town
With scaly feet he'll crack the street
and tear the steeple down
It's not some loony dream
I heard a scream from Sheriff Brown
It's true, it's true
Oh, what are we to do
- It's true, it's true
- Old Lampie's in a stew
A dragon, a dragon
I swear there was a dragon
You're off your hinges
All those binges put you in a haze
You crazy fools
It's all your doggone fault
he's in a daze
Let go of me, let go of me
and mend your wicked ways!
- Dr. Terminus: In my Scientific Opinion, the Existence of a Dragon would have an Impact of;–– Gigantic Proportions! Mythology and legend would become… History, and Science. You could really make a quick buck with it.
- Lampie: But I can prove it! I can prove it! His name is Elliott! I can show you, he's downstairs, I can take you to see him right now…
- Dr. Terminus: Unfortunately, I cannot make it right now. I have an Appointment with a Young Lady, who's interested… in a nursing career. [Exit Terminus]
- Hoagy: I wanna see it.
- Lampie: Y' wanna see it?! Well, if y' wanna see it, you shall! But first… first let's have a quick one. For the rocks we'll hafta climb… and the dragon… the dragon is scary.
- Hoagy: Okay; okay; I'll have one for the rocks.
- Lampie: An' one for the scary.
- Hoagy: Quoddy.
- Pete: Nine and nine are eighteen.
- Nora: Really?
- Pete: Nine times nine are eighty-one.
- Nora: Wow.
- Pete: Two thousand pounds make a ton.
- Nora: Amazing.
- Pete: That sign says "Passamaquoddy".
- Nora: You still have to go to school.
- Pete: Do I have to like it?
- Nora: Like it or hate it, you have to go. D'you want to be stupid when you grow up? Like the Gogans?
- Pete: Okay, I like it, I like it!
