Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium Page #2

Synopsis: Molly Mahoney is the manager of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, the awesome toy store owned by Mr. Edward Magorium. Molly was a promising composer and piano player when she was a girl, and now she is a twenty-three year-old insecure woman who feels stuck in her job. Among the costumers of the Emporium is the lonely hat collector, Eric Applebaum, who has only Molly and Mr. Magorium for friends. When the last pair of shoes that Mr. Magorium bought in Toscana is worn, he hires the accountant, Henry Weston to adjust the accounts of the Emporium. Furthermore, he claims that he is two hundred and forty-three years old and his time to go has come; he gives a block of wood called Congreve cube to Molly and asks Henry to transfer the Emporium to her name. Molly tries to convince Mr. Magorium to stay in his magical toy store instead of "going".

And they're high in cholesterol.

Molly? Molly Mahoney?

Yeah.

It's Dave. Dave Wolf.

I was in your physics

class in college.

Oh, hey!

Hey! Holy... cow.

You still work here?

Yeah!

I mean, well... yeah.

So, uh, what about you?

What are you up to?

I'm an engineer.

Congratulations.

You know, it's funny.

I would never have

recognized you

if it wasn't for that finger thing.

Hah- comes in handy

on the cash register.

Do you still play the piano?

I do. Every day.

Well, I'm here for a week.

Where are you playing?

My apartment.

Oh, I-I thought...

Yeah- do you want me to wrap

any of these for you?

Oh, no. Thanks.

Uh... you know, it was

really nice to see you.

I always wondered

what happened to you.

It's good to see you.

Yeah, you too.

Wait, I'm... I'm sorry.

Bouncy Balls-

always trying to escape.

Okay, out.

Out.

And you.

You, too.

Sorry about that.

Take care.

Okay.

Ooh!

Aha...

Hiya.

Just, uh... uh, shopping.

Shopping.

Just, uh... shopping.

No matter what they tell you,

you don't have to stay in the lines.

Pardon me, miss.

Could you help me, please?

I can certainly try.

My grandson wants a fire engine

for his birthday,

with a ladder

that goes up

and a hose that squirts water.

And I can't find one.

This sounds like a job

for the Big Book.

This has all the toys

we have in stock.

Now, "E" for engine

or "F" for fire?

Let's try "F."

Wow!

How did you do that?

I didn't do it.

You must have done something.

Surprisingly, no.

It's the Book.

It's magic.

Come on, guys.

Bring it up higher!

Higher!

That's it!

Hey, get that bird

out of here, will ya?

Hey. Whoa.

Okay, that's right.

All right, bring it up,

bring it up, bring it up.

Hello, excuse me, miss. Hi.

Oh, hi.

Um... hi.

Um...

Hello.

Um... I believe Mr. Magorium

sent for me.

Oh. Wow.

You're really well-dressed

for a shadow puppeteer.

No, no... I'm Henry Weston,

the accountant.

Here for an interview.

Ah... hello.

My name is Mahoney.

I am the store manager.

Pleasure to meet you.

I have to admit,

when the agency sent me,

I had no idea

that this was a toy store.

Shh!

If these kids found out

this was a toy store,

we'd have a madhouse on our hands.

That was a joke.

I know.

Okay.

Uh... you probably want to speak

to Mr. Magorium.

Why don't you give me a second.

Hi.

What is it?

What?

It's not real nice

to stare at people, you know?

Why don't you just

go ahead and...

This happens every time.

Ah, greetings.

Edward Magorium-

toy impresario,

wonder aficionado,

avid shoe-wearer.

You're here for the

accounting position.

Yes. Henry Weston.

Mm-hmm. Name the

Fibonacci series

from its 11 th to its 16th integer.
