Twilight Zone: The Movie Page #6

-And friends? Oh, yes, friends. Why, Mr. Bloom here

is trying to make friends. Trying to stir them all up,

aren't you, Bloom? That day we stop playing

is the day we start getting old. Started watching the clock. Waiting for the days to hurry up and end. Counting the years. We always had something

to look forward to. Right. Another dawn, another day,

another summer. Another game of kick the can. [CHUCKLlNG] Oh, ha, ha, ha. BLOOM:

Kick the can. [ALL LAUGHlNG] -So who's playing?

-What? Starting up a game of kick the can.

Who's playing? Bloom. . . . ..when was the last time you fell down

and couldn't get up by yourself, huh? How dare you ask them to go out

and risk the little bit of life they have left? Life is risk, Mr. Conroy. l'm not asking anybody to do anything

that l'm not willing to do. Well, l agree with that. Maybe if we played kick the can... DEMPSEY:

Oh, oh. . ..we'd get a little hold of that magic

we all been missing. DEMPSEY:

You're right. A little hold on youth. Look, their bones are old

and will break if they try to run. Their hearts are old, their lungs are old. Oh, Miss Cox would never allow us

to go out there and play, Mr. Bloom. lt's against the rules. -Rules? Did rules ever stop a child?

ALL:
No. You gonna let rules stop you

from the chance of being young again? DEMPSEY:

Oh, no, no, no. No, l don't think so. [CHUCKLES] You see, this old man

still has a little magic left in him. And if you believe.. . . .. l can promise to make you all

feel like children again. [DEMPSEY CLAPS] You're making promises they can't keep. -Mrs. Dempsey, l wanna see you dance.

DEMPSEY:
Oh, l'd love that. And l wanna see you climb,

Mr. Weinstein. Like a catsel l'll climb. BLOOM:

We'll break the rules. What can they take away from us

we haven't already lost? When were you thinking of playing,

Mr. Bloom? Tonight, tonight, tonight. Don't bother to wake me up. [BLOOM CHUCKLES] [DOOR CREAKlNG] [AGEE SNORlNG] lt's time. AGEE:

lt smells like midnight, as l recall. [DEMPSEY LAUGHlNG] I feel vee ahn alter nahr. [METAL CLlNKS] One, two, three, four, five, six. . . . ..seven, eight, nine, ten. -l see you, Agee.

-Tallyho. AGEE:

Tallyho. Mr. Bloom is anucha mole. -Oh, l think Mr. Bloom kicked the can.

-Paul kicked the can. WElNSTElN: Mr. Bloom is it.

DEMPSEY:
Mr. Bloom is it again. l'm it again, l'm it again. ALL:

Olly, olly oxen free. Olly, olly oxen free. -Olly, olly oxen free.

-Olly, olly oxen free. [lN H lGH-PlTCHED VOlCES]
