Pete's Dragon Page #3

- All fixed up.

- Hey, there.

- How are you feeling?

- It was just a scrape.

Where's Pete?

I'm gonna take Natalie home then

head back out to the forest.

Maybe there's something out there,

some clue.

- Could you call me when he wakes up?

- DOCTOR:
Of course.

Now, when he wakes up,

I think it would be best

to take things slowly.

One step at a time.

Let him know he's safe.

We don't know what he's been through.

SHERIFF:
We put a call in

the social services.

They know exactly how to handle this.

For the time being,

he'll be just fine right here.

- Umm, actually he's gone.

- Who's gone, sweetheart?

Pete.

Nobody knows how to say goodbye

It seems so easy 'til you try

Then the moments passed you by

Nobody knows how to say goodbye

(POLICE SIRENS WAILING, TIRES SCREECHING)

Kid, stop!

Wait, wait!

Dammit, stop right there!

I got him.

He's on the corner of...

He was on the corner of...

I've lost him.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Hey, look.

BOY:
What is it?

(CHUCKLES)

Love is deep as the road is long

(CHILDREN CLAMORING)

It beats my heart when you are gone

Love is deep as the road is long

Hey, sit down!

(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)

- Whoa!

- Awesome!

Nobody knows how the story ends

(PETE GRUNTING)

Pete!

It's okay.

It's okay.

We're not gonna hurt you, I promise.

Alright? Come here.

(MAN TALKING INDISTINCTIVELY)

Hey, guys.

Come check this out.

Fresh. Not even a day old.

What do you think?

A bear?

Catch me some rabbits.

So, we'll bring him home tonight.

Okay, thank you so much.

Bye.

Hey, Pete.

Don't worry.

You don't have to go back to the hospital.

We'll go to my house.

(LEONARD COHEN - SO LONG, MARIANNE)

I used to think I was some kind of Gypsy boy

Before I let you take me home

Now so long, Marianne

It's time that we began to laugh and cry

and cry and laugh about it all again

Here we are.

Need a little help?

- Pete! No, wait!

- Wait!

Wait! Wait.

Wait. Wait.

(SIGHING)

You are fast!

Oh, my goodness.

What's wrong, honey?
