Pete's Dragon Page #3

And you know...

And you know what else?

There was this boy with it.

And he wasn't afraid.

- This boy...

- Lie down.

We're in a lot of trouble,

and it's all your fault.

I don't wanna play.

You did everything wrong

is Passamaquoddy.

Now everybody hates us.

I don't know whether

you're good for me...

or bad.

I'm sorry, Elliott.

I didn't really mean that.

It's just

I don't know what to do,

and I'm scared.

Hello in there!

Get back!

Hi.

- What are you doing here?

- Oh, just playing tic-tac-toe.

This isn't exactly

the best place for tic-tac-toe.

The tide's coming in. High water

reaches this cave sometimes.

You better head for home.

You're not from

Passamaquoddy, are you?

Nope.

Just sort of... traveling.

Where are your parents?

Where are you staying?

- What's your name?

- Pete.

I'm Nora, and I have to get back

on watch, up in the lighthouse.

There's chowder on the stove,

if you'd like some.

Wh-What's the matter?

It's a hand, not a shark.

You can finish that chowder...

if you'd like.

Oh, I forgot something.

Be right back.

I forgive you, Elliott.

Stay here till I see what

it's like up in the lighthouse.

Woo-woo-woo-woo!

The Gogans own me, I guess.

They said it was against the law

for me to ever leave them.

Where did you get that bruise?

Mr. Gogan. I was milking the cow,

and I missed the bucket.

- Had he done that before?

- All the time.

The first time I ran away,

the orphan home sent me back.

This time,

I'll just keep running.

Well, you'll be safe here.

Nora, no one's ever been this nice

to me. I'll always remember it.

Pete, why don't you

sleep here tonight?

We'll figure out

what to do tomorrow.

Okay?

Wonderful.

I've got work to do. Come on.

Are you anybody's mother?

I'm not even anybody's wife.

But you're gonna get

married now, aren't you?

I'm already married

to this lighthouse.

- Who's that?

- Paul.

- Is he part of your family?

- He almost was.

- How can someone almost be part of a

family? - We were going to be married.

How come you weren't?

Well, as far as we know,

his ship was headed for a storm.

They were never heard from

again. That was a year ago.

He'll come back.

I tell myself

the same thing every day,

standing up there

watching for ships on the horizon.

Time I should be thinking

of other things, so they tell me.

I'll have to ask

Elliott about Paul.

He has a way of knowing things.

Who's Elliott?

- My dragon.

- Dragon?

So you're

the boy with the dragon.

- Yup.

- Where is he?

- Down in the cave.

- That's interesting.

I've never known anyone with

a dragon. What does he look like?

Just a plain, ordinary dragon.

How plain?

How ordinary?
