MAGGIEBlast off!

What do you wanna do today?

Oh, I don’t know.

What do you want to do today?

I don’t know.

Maggie?

(Maggie hums)

(Gasping) Look, it’s the blimp!

Wow, it sure would be nice to be

up so high on a day like today.

Hello, blimp!

I know!

Let’s take a trip to outer space!

Oh, that seems like a long way off, Maggie.

No, it’s not.

We’re going to play rocket trip to Mars.

Ooh, good idea, Maggie!

We’ll need a rocket ship.

And don’t forget our space helmets!

What do I get to do, Maggie?

Hamilton and I will be great astronauts!

But what do I get to do?

We’ll be Captain Maggie and Commander Hamilton

of the Far Out Space Patrol Rocket Riders!

Yes, that’s nice, but what do I get to do?

Hmm.

I know!

You’ll be the giant space alien.

Great Googly Moogly!

I hope I do a good job.

Can I be ferocious too?

Of course.

HAMILTONSo what do you think?

Here you go.

Thanks!

I like your helmets, but I think

they’re missing something.

And your tricycle too.

It doesn’t look much like a spaceship.

Hmm, I think you’re right.

But it’s nothing a little paper and glue won’t fix.

There, that should do it.

That looks great, Maggie.

Where’s Beast?

He wandered off to surprise us with something.

Well, we better blast off soon.

I have to be home for dinner.

Oh yes, I would never want you to miss your dinner.

Unless we run into space aliens!

(Laughing)

(Clearing throat)

Commander Hamilton to Captain Maggie.

Prepare launch code.

Check, Commander Hamilton.

Fire boosters set?

Check!

Retrorockets stabilized?

Check!

Full fuel?

(Sighing) Check.

HAMILTONRadio working?

Can we just go now, Hamilton?

Oops. (Chuckling) Sorry.

(Laughing)

Rocket’s ready!

Five, four, three, two, one, blast off!

Here we go!

(Gasping) Look at the stars, Maggie.

(Gasping) Oh!

Look, there’s my house!

Way down there!

Look, there’s the moon.

Hello, Mr. Moon!

We’re here!

Phew.

Thank goodness.

You can’t visit Mars without taking

a photo for your scrapbook.

(Clearing throat) I hereby claim this planet

in the name of Nowhere Land.

(Fanfare trumpeting)

MAGGIESay cheese!

Cheese!

Let’s hunt for rock samples to take back with us.

Good idea.

They’ll make a nice addition to our rock collection.

Look, here’s one.

Hmm, these are very interesting.

(Gasping) Look out for the lava flow, Captain Maggie!

(Gasping) Good call, Commander Hamilton!

We better stay on the galactic path.

(Laughing)

Look, a strange plant form!
[ … ]

(Sneezing)

(Growling)

Oh no, what’s that noise?

(Growling)

I wonder what that could be?

(Growling)

(Maggie screaming)

(Laughing)

You look ridiculous!

(Laughing)

This is my planet!

I am the Ferocious Space Beast!

(Growling)

(Laughing)

I’m a space alien.

Hamilton isn’t supposed to laugh at me.

(Laughing)

I’m sorry, I won’t laugh anymore.

(Laughing)

(Beast growling)

This is my planet and those are my rocks.

I want them back!

RUDYWhat are you guys doing?

And why do you have a pot on your head, Beast?

Who goes there?

It’s only me, Rudy.

Don’t you recognize me?

What are you doing in outer space?

Outer space?

He’s the space alien.

Oh.

Well, I was on my way to, um, Saturn,

when I stopped off here

to see if there was any cheese on, um...

Mars.

Mars.

Well this is my planet and I don’t have any cheese.

I want my rocks back.

(Growling)

(Laughing)

Oh no, run!

The alien is after us!

(Growling)

Run! Let’s go, run, run!

(Panting)

Whew, space exploring is hard work.

It sure is.

Yes, indeed. (Chuckling)

(Panting)

Where are my rocks?

You can’t just take them, you know.

You have to say the magic word.

Oh, I forgot to say please.

Mr. Space Alien, can we please have some

of your beautiful rocks for our collection?

Um, okay, but you have to give me something in return.

How about some yummy pumpkin muffins?

They’re exotic earth food.

Mmm, that sounds good.

Let’s trade.

Now that that’s settled, I think we should return home.

What do you say, Commander Hamilton?

Yes, I think we’ve had enough exploring for one day.

Retrorockets stabilized?

Check!

Check fuel?

Check!

Radio working?

Check.

Hamilton...

Oh. (Chuckling) Sorry.

Rocket’s ready.

Five, four, three, two, one, blast off!

Wait, you forgot to take Rudy!

You have to drop him off on Saturn!

RUDYYeah, wait for us!

MAGGIEHamilton’s Hat.

Thank you for cleaning my spots, Hamilton,

but are you sure you put them on right?

I’m sure, Beast.

Exactly what is your problem?

It feels like one of my spots isn’t on right.

Trust me, they’re perfect.

Will you please check once more?

I’ve already checked three times.

(Sighing)

If only I could see in the mirror.

Well you can’t.

You need two mirrors to see behind you.

But I only have one mirror.

Oh, all right, I’ll get mine.

I’ll show you how it's done.

You hold your mirror behind my head

and I’ll hold this one in front of me.

See?

Now I can see the back of me.

(Gasping)

Okay, now let me see.

Hi, what’s going on?

Oh, I’ll be right back.
[ … ]

I have to get something.

And what are you doing, Beast?

Hi, Maggie.

Hamilton cleaned my spots and one doesn’t feel right.

Where?

Back there.

Hmm, this spot looks like it should be

moved over just a teensy bit.

There, is that better?

(Sighing) Thank you, Maggie.

That’s much better.

I told Hamilton.

What’s he doing anyway?

Hamilton, are you in there?

Hamilton?

Are you all right?

HAMILTONI was, until you started banging.

Now I have a headache.

Hamilton, is there something wrong?

HAMILTONNo, there’s nothing wrong, Maggie.

Really.

Then why won’t you come out here?

HAMILTONUh, I’ll be out later.

Don’t you want to go exploring today?

HAMILTONUh, I don’t think so.

Hamilton, will you please come out here?

It’s very difficult to talk to a cardboard box.

Well, here I am.

Why are you wearing a hat?

To keep the sun off my head.

I have a headache, remember?

Dear Hamilton, let me get you a cold cloth.

No, I don’t need a cold cloth.

Why don’t you just run along?

I’ll be fine.

No, we’ll stay here.

Would you like to play cards?

Uh, I’ll just watch.

RUDYHi, guys.

Hi, Rudy.

Hamilton has a headache.

That’s why he's wearing a hat.

To keep the sun off his head.

Right, Hamilton?

Right, Beast.

Gee, I’m sorry you have a headache, Hamilton,

but keeping a hat on your head should help.

Yes, I’ve decided to wear my hat all the time.

(Beast giggling)

All the time?

Even when you’re sleeping?

That’s silly.

Um, I have a great idea.

Let’s pick cherries.

Yeah, that sounds fun.

Great Googly Moogly!

I love cherry pie!

Okay, I’ll get the pail.

Beast, why is Hamilton acting so strange?

Gee, I don’t know, Maggie.

Maybe he wants a hat like Rudy’s that never comes off.

What do you think, Rudy?

Well I stopped here to tell you something.

What was I supposed to tell you?

It was something important.

I’m ready!

Climb on.

RUDYI wish I could remember what I wanted to tell you.

The cherry orchard is further than I thought.

We’re almost there, Beast.

How’s your headache, Hamilton?

Oh, it’s all right.

(Sneezing)

ALLWhoa!

(Gasping) Where’s my hat?

I’ve lost my hat!

Calm down, Hamilton.

We’ll find it.

Now I remember what I wanted to tell you.

Nedley told me to get ready for short, violent windstorms.

The Kindly Giant is getting a cold.

I thought that sounded like a sneeze.

Oh...

Oh...

(Kindly Giant sneezing)

Whoa!

(Beast laughing)

Gesundheit.

Let’s go!

It should be easy to pick the cherries.

They’ll all be on the ground.

I can’t go until I find my hat.

Beast, you and Rudy go to the cherry orchard.

It’s just up ahead.

I’ll stay here and help Hamilton find his hat.

Okay.

You mean I’m going to ride on the Beast all by myself?

Right.

Now hurry.

Come on, Rudy.
[ … ]

RUDYOkay.

We’ll be along soon!

I’m afraid your hat is gone, Hamilton.

I don’t see it anywhere.

Oh...

I better walk back and get my other hat.

I’m sure you can get along without a hat.

No.

I need my hat.

Green tangerines, Hamilton,

what is so important about your hat?

Oh.

When I looked in the mirror, I saw that the pink velvet

on the back of my head has been

worn right down to the cloth.

What’s so terrible about that?

You always said my lovely pink velvet made me special.

Yes, that’s true, but now that it’s a bit worn,

it makes you even more special.

But you can get a new piggy

with soft pink velvet that isn’t worn or faded.

Oh, really?

And would a new piggy share all our wonderful memories?

I guess not.

No one could ever take your place.

Oh thank you, Maggie.

Now are you ready to pick cherries without your hat?

Let’s go!

I wonder if the Kindly Giant’s cold is better?

(Kindly Giant sneezing)

BOTHWhoa!

(Laughing)

It isn’t better yet.

Come on, let’s find the Beast and Rudy.

Okay.

(Laughing)

MAGGIEThe Wish Fish.

So what do you think, Hamilton?

There’s a lot of places that look very interesting.

BEASTNo, not there.

Did you find it?

BEASTNo!

Is that the Beast?

That’s him.

What’s wrong?

He’s very upset because he can’t find one of his galoshes.

I think it’s the blue one.

That’s too bad.

He loves those galoshes.

HAMILTONI checked my box three times.

Maggie, my goo-losh is missing.

It’s galosh.

It’s my goo-losh, Hamilton!

MAGGIECheer up, Beast, it’ll turn up.

Now, where are we going today?

How about the Wishing Well?

Sounds good to me.

How ’bout it, Beast?

I guess.

MAGGIEHere we are.

Just an old well.

Don’t be so grouchy, Beast.

Hamilton’s right.

Hey, we should make a wish,

but you’re supposed to drop a coin in.

Here, I have a coin!

HAMILTONWhat should we wish for?

I wish I could find my goo-losh.

Well, I guess you made our wish.

I might as well toss in the coin.

I am the Wish Fish.

Your galosh can be found in the Land of Lost Things.

The Land of Lost Things?

I don’t think I ever saw that on my map.

WISH FISHIt’s beyond the third hill to the east.

Thank you, Mr. Wish Fish, but why do you sound so sad?

I’m tired of getting hit on the head with coins.

I’m tired of granting wishes.

I’m even tired of this gloomy well.

Now go and find your galosh.

Oh, um, thank you, Mr. Wish Fish.

Yes, thank you.

Let’s hurry.

I want to see if I can find my goo-losh.

We’re here.

We sure are.

(Gasping) Look at the mountain of socks.

And they’re all one of a kind.

(Laughing)

I’m sure some of my missing socks are here.

But we have to look for my goo-losh.

Yes, Beast, calm down.

Maggie, look at all the missing gloves.

And here are the scarves.

Goo-losh.

Look at all this junk.

Here’s a rag doll with one eye.

RAG DOLL Mama.

And a roller skate, a wheel from a wagon.

(Gasping)
[ … ]

BEASTMaggie, Hamilton!

I found it!

My goo-losh!

(Sighing) Oh, thank heavens.

I think we should stop and thank

the Wish Fish on our way back.

He seemed so sad.

That’s a great idea.

I’m so happy I found my goo-losh.

(Beast humming)

(Maggie and Hamilton giggling)

Mr. Wish Fish!

Mr. Wish Fish!

Maybe he only appears if you toss him a coin.

Mr. Wish Fish, please come out and talk to us.

I only want to thank you for helping me

find my favorite goo-losh.

You want to thank me?

(Chuckling) No one has ever returned to thank me.

Well I’m so happy I found my goo-losh.

It’s my favorite blue one.

Mr. Wish Fish, can you make your own wish come true?

No.

Gee, that’s too bad.

What would you wish for if you could?

If I could, I’d wish myself away from this wishing well.

But you bring happiness to so many.

Maybe so, but I’m tired of it.

Where would you like to be?

Oh, I’d like to be swimming free in a beautiful river.

(Sighing) Well, so much for wishing.

MAGGIENow wait a minute.

I have a plan.

Maggie has a plan!

Great Googly Moogly, Mr. Wish Fish.

Maggie has lots of really good plans.

Okay, Maggie, what’s your plan?

It’s very simple.

Hamilton has a pail in his box.

We’ll fill it with water and take

Mr. Wish Fish down to the river.

And he can swim happily ever after.

I’ll get the pail.

I can’t believe I'm finally getting away from here.

I can’t wait to swim in that river.

Here we go.

Careful.

Dive in.

I’m in.

Raise her up.

Whoa, careful now.

Hey, easy.

Don’t jiggle so much.

Sorry.

We’re almost at the river.

Are you getting seasick, Mr. Wish fish?

No, but I’m gonna run out of water

if you don’t stop sloshing it over the sides.

You don’t have to worry.

We’re here!

There you go.

Woo hoo! (Laughing)

Oh, this is so wonderful.

(Laughing)

Please, please don’t go yet.

I just want to swim a bit.

Wow, look at him go!

(Laughing)

Well, how was it?

It was better than I ever imagined.

Then why do you seem so sad?

Oh, I was thinking about disappointing

all those well wishers.

But you needed to have your own wish granted.

I just can’t do it.

Take me back.

Are you sure?

I’m sure.

MAGGIEWait, I have a plan.

See, I told you.

I told you Maggie has lots of good plans.

What’s the plan, Maggie?

I think Mr. Wish Fish is right.

We should take him back.

Aww. What?

But, every chance we get, we’ll stop at the Wishing Well

and bring him here for a swim in the river.

You would do that for me?

Of course.

Come along now.

Wasn’t this a perfect day?

We made a new friend, we found a new place,

and I found my most favorite blue goo-losh.

It’s galosh.

Goo-losh.

Galosh.

Goo-losh.

Galosh.

Goo-losh.

Galosh.
[ … ]

Goo-losh.

MAGGIEI must remember to draw

the Land of Lost Things on my map.

BEASTGoo-losh.

HAMILTONGalosh!

BEASTGoo-losh.

HAMILTONGalosh.

BEASTGoo-losh.
