- Uh, I'm not a book.

Got any proof?

See? Here's my name!

(GASPS)

A library card!

Oh, begging your pardon, lad.

I didn't know you was a customer!

Uh, look, all I wanna do is get outta here.

(LAUGHING) Of course you do, matey!

We all do.

But this is a library, mate.

Not everything's as it seems.

(THUNDERCLAP)

LIBRARIAN:
Look to the books.

Look to the books.

(GASPS)

You... you said you knew the way out?

I know these waters

like the back of me hook!

(MUTTERS)

Uh... Uh...

This way.

I gotta get home.

My parents are probably

worried sick about me.

Well, I'm afeared I've been dry-docked

in this library far longer

than I'd like to remember.

As I sees it, you with your library card

are me ticket out of here!

Is it a deal, matey?

Ooh, I'm naked.

Uh, yeah, I guess so.

(LAUGHING)

That's the spirit, lad!

Can we get going now?

Aye aye! Let's scale this mast

and get our bearings!

Mast? That's a ladder.

I kind of have this thing about heights.

Huh. I'll take care of that.

(MUTTERING)

Mysterious Island. Yes.

Kidnapped.

Ah, here we be!

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Ah, the squid, yes, that's it!

It's a giant squid!

(SNARLS)

Ah!

Whoa!

Ohh!

Jump, boy!

It's jump for your life!

(SQUID ROARS)

Ohh!

(GASPING) Uhh!

(GRUNTING)

(WOMAN, MUFFLED)

Let go of my face! I can't breathe!

(MUFFLED VOICE/GASPS)

What are you doing, grabbing me like that

and messing up my pantyhose?

Hmph! Now I gotta straighten out

my Little Mermaid underwear.

Who... who are you?

(GRUMPILY) I'm Fantasy. Oh!

(CLEARS THROAT)

(SWEETLY) I'm Fantasy! What is this?

Hm.

It's a library card.

I'm a book, honey. I can read.

(CLEARS THROAT) Now tell me,

what's the one thing you wish for

more than anything in the world?

Anything in the world?

I-I'd like to get out of here.

I'll grant your wish, child. But you must

do me one small kindness in return.

You gotta check me outta here!

That's it? OK, let's go!

Do I have to click my heels or something?

(LAUGHS) Honey, you in the wrong story.

That was a close one, lad. Lad?

Hold on there, missis! The lad's with me!

- You know that short story?

- Yeah, he's adventure.

Honey, that's what they all say.

I heard that!

I'll have you know I'm a classic!

Mm-hm. A classic... misprint.

Why, you old sea serpent! I'll rip out

your pages and use them for... Oh, no!

Do something!

Hm.

(ADVENTURE YELLS)

Oops! (LAUGHS) I forgot. My wand doesn't

always work outside the fantasy section.

You mean you can't wish us to the exit?

(GROANS) That overdue shrew's

never even seen the exit.

More than you have, shorty!

In fact, the exit's just beyond

my fantasy section. Hmph!

Then what are ye doing in these parts?
