Passamaquoddy's

a beautiful community...

where the sun always rises

and the sun always sets.

- That's very deep and profound.

Don't you think?

- Elliott...

It's a place of serenity

and security,

where the unexpected

never happens.

Ow!

It's okay, Elliott.

It seems to say,

"Welcome!"

You-You absolute oaf.

You-You idiot!

- No, come, come.

- It was that kid that pushed me.

He pulled off

Miss Taylor's petticoat.

- He walked through my cement with his big

feet. - He scared my horse, Victoria.

Let's get out of here, Elliott.

- We-Well, where is this person?

- Th-There he goes!

Well, detain him. Detain him.

- Elliott...

- Uh-oh.

You spoiled everything.

Darn you, Elliott.

I told you to behave.

Scallops.

And some oysters.

And...

Oh, hello there, little boy.

Hi.

Hi.

- Hey! Hey, you look terrible.

- Whoopee!

Hey, your friend's...

turned green.

If I didn't know any better,

I'd say he was a dragon.

A drag-drag...

Dragon!

Elliott, didn't I tell you that...

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

He has a jaw of gleaming teeth

He's 50 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

Aah!

What makes you think there

ever was, there never was

There never, never, ever was

a dragon, dragon, dragon

Dragon, dragon

dragon, dragon, dragon

- Why don't you just calm down?

- I seen his face.

If you wanna call it a face.

It was this close to me.

Why don't you

lie down, Dad? Come on.

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.
