AND START SERVING IT?

S-S-SERVING?

WELL, I, UH...

I SUPPOSE:

I REALLY CAN' UNTIL I GET BACK

FROM DICTIONOPOLIS

AND THE CASTLE:

IN THE AIR.

[THUNDER]

THE WHAT IN THE WHAT?

WHY,

THE CASTLE IN THE AIR.

[THUNDER]

BOYS ARE GUILTY:

OF EVERYTHING.

GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY,

GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY.

"WELCOME TO EXPECTATIONS."

EXPECTATIONS?

BOY,

THEY SURE HAVE A WAY

OF NAMING PLACES

AROUND HERE.

"INFORMATION,

PREDICTIONS, AND ADVICE

CHEERFULLY OFFERED."

WELL, THAT'S ONE THING

I COULD CERTAINLY USE

IS A LITTLE INFORMATION.

"PARK HERE AND BLOW HORN."

ALL RIGHT.

[HONKING]

MY, MY, MY, MY, MY.

WELCOME, WELCOME, WELCOME

TO THE LAND OF EXPECTATIONS

AND TO THE LAND:

OF EXPECTATIONS.

WE DON'T GET MANY

TRAVELERS THESE DAYS.

WE CERTAINLY DON'T GE MANY TRAVELERS THESE DAYS.

NOW, WHAT CAN I DO

FOR YOU?

I'M THE WEATHER MAN.

HOW DO YOU DO, SIR?

I WONDER...

COULD YOU TELL ME

THE RIGHT ROAD TO...

A DICTIONOPOLIS...

OR SOMEPLACE?

DICTIONOPOLIS?

WELL, NOW. WELL, NOW.

WELL, NOW.

I DON'T KNOW OF ANYWRONGROAD

TO DICTIONOPOLIS.

SO IF THIS ROAD:

GOES TO DICTIONOPOLIS AT ALL,

IT MUST BE THE RIGHT ROAD,

DON'T YOU THINK?

AND IF IT DOESN'T,

IT MUST BE THE RIGHT ROAD

TO SOMEWHERE,

MUSTN'T IT?

BECAUSE THERE ARE NO

WRONG ROADS TO ANYWHERE.

DO YOU THINK:

IT WILL RAIN?

BUT I THOUGHT YOU SAID

YOUWERE THE WEATHER MAN.

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO,

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

I'M THEWHETHER MAN,

NOT THE WEATHER MAN.

FOR AFTER ALL, IT'S

MORE IMPORTANT TO KNOW

WHETHER THERE WILL BE

A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER

THAN WHAT THE WEATHER...

WILL BE...

DON'T YOU THINK?

WHAT KIND OF PLACE IS...

I MEAN, WHAT KIND OF PLACE

IS EXPECTATIONS?

GOOD QUESTION.

SPLENDID QUESTION.

EXPECTATIONS:

IS THE PLACE:

YOU MUST ALWAYS GO

BEFORE YOU GE WHERE YOU'RE GOING.

OF COURSE, SOME PEOPLE

NEVER GET BEYOND

EXPECTATIONS.

MY JOB IS TO HURRY

THEM ALONG ANYWAY.

I'D BETTER HURRY

YOU ALONG, TOO.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

BUT...BUT I REALLY THINK

I CAN FIND MY OWN WAY.

SPLENDID,

SPLENDID, SPLENDID.

I DO SO HATE TO MAKE UP

MY MIND ABOUT ANYTHING.

WHETHER OR NO YOU FIND YOUR WAY,

YOU'RE BOUND TO FIND

SOME WAY.

IF YOU HAPPEN:

TO FINDMYWAY,

PLEASE RETURN IT.

YOU DID SAY:

IT WAS GOING TO RAIN,

DIDN'T YOU?!

BOY, THAT'S THE MOS PECULIAR MAN I'VE EVER MET.

I HOPE I'LL MEET SOMEBODY

WHOSE SENTENCES MAKE AS MUCH

SENSE BACKWARDS AS FORWARD.

[YAWN]

WHAT A NICE SLEEPY DAY.

MAYBE THAT OLD TOLLBOOTH

HAD SOMETHING AFTER ALL.

NOBODY TO TELL ME

WHAT TO DO...

NO DECISIONS TO MAKE...

NOTHING TO THINK ABOUT...

AND NOTHING TO CARE ABOUT...

NOTHING...

MILES AND MILES AND MILES

OF NOTHING.

NOTHING...

JUST NOTHING.

[YAWN]

I WONDER WHERE I AM.

[DEEP, SLEEPY VOICE]
