OLD WOMAN:

Well, I've got a talking donkey.

HEAD GUARD:

Right. Well, that's good for ten shillings,

if you can prove it.

OLD WOMAN:

Oh, go ahead, little fella.

Donkey just looks up at her.

HEAD GUARD:

Well?

OLD WOMAN:

Oh, oh, he's just...he's just a little

nervous. He's really quite a chatterbox.

Talk, you boneheaded dolt...

HEAD GUARD:

That's it. I've heard enough. Guards!

OLD WOMAN:

No, no, he talks! He does. (pretends

to be Donkey) I can talk. I love to

talk. I'm the talkingest damn thing

you ever saw.

HEAD GUARD:

Get her out of my sight.

OLD WOMAN:

No, no! I swear! Oh! He can talk!

The guards grab the old woman and she struggles with them. One

of her legs flies out and kicks Tinkerbell out of Peter Pan's

hands, and her cage drops on Donkey's head. He gets sprinkled

with fairy dust and he's able to fly.

DONKEY:

Hey! I can fly!

PETER PAN:

He can fly!

3 LITTLE PIGS

He can fly!

HEAD GUARD:

He can talk!

DONKEY:

Ha, ha! That's right, fool! Now I'm

a flying, talking donkey. You might

have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly

but I bet you ain't never seen a donkey

fly. Ha, ha! (the pixie dust begins

to wear off) Uh-oh. (he begins to sink

to the ground.)

He hits the ground with a thud.
