BEASTGreat googly moogly!

Okay, here we go

Moonicus Junicus.

Hmm, that didn’t work.

Moonicus Junicus.

(Squealing) It worked, I did it!

Moonicus Junicus.

Hamilton, can we do something else now?

Now, why didn’t that work?

Hamilton, answer me.

Are you going to play musician all day?

Beast, it’s "magician", not "musician".

Well, are you going to play that all day?

Beast, please,

I have to practice before Maggie gets here.

I’m going to take a nap.

That’s nice.

Hmmph.

This says, hmm ...

Rabbits, I have to go find Nedley.

(Frog croaking)

(Suspenseful music)

(Beast snoring)

I wonder how long I slept.

I’d better see if Maggie's here.

(Frog croaking)

Hello?

Is there anybody in there?

Hello, who’s in there?

(Frog croaking, Beast yelling)

This is a warning from the Ferocious Beast.

Come out, come out, whoever you are.

All right, I’m warning you.

I’m going to raise this hat.

(Frog croaking)

Oh, Hamilton, you turned yourself into a frog.

You should be more careful!

(Croaking)

What can I do to help?

I know, I’ll be right back.

You wait right here, don’t go away.

(Ribbiting)

Look what I brought you, Hamilton.

See, it even has a lily pad for you to sit on.

(Frog ribbiting)

Does that feel good?

Hamilton, what can I do?

I wonder if I wave the magic wand ...

You have to hold still.

Moonis Junis.

That doesn’t sound right.

Oh, wait, I’ve got it.

Moonicus Junicus.

It didn’t work.

What am I gonna do?

Who’s gonna make my pumpkin muffins?

Hi, Beast!

Oh, Maggie, I’m so glad you’re here.

What’s wrong?

I don’t know how to tell you, it’s so terrible.

Just take a deep breath and tell me.

(Sad music)

Is it something about the frog?

Mm-hmm.

What about the frog?

He’s not a frog!

It’s Hamilton!

What are you talking about?

Hamilton was practicing his magic act

and I went to take a nap and when I woke up

Hamilton was gone and the frog was wearing his top hat!

(Laughing) Beast, that’s ridiculous.

This is a frog.

(Frog ribbiting)

Sure, now he’s a frog, but I know that’s Hamilton.

He magic wanded himself into a frog.

(Crying)

Oh, don’t cry, Beast.

It’s going to be all right.

No, it isn’t.

I want my Hamilton.

Who’s gonna make my pumpkin muffins

and take care of my spots?

Please, Hamilton, please come back!

(Frog ribbiting)

Look, Maggie, look at his eyes.

Can’t you see that it’s Hamilton?

Not really, Beast.



Maggie, what are we going to do?

I don’t know about you, Beast, but I’m going to wait

for Hamilton to return.

I’m telling you, Maggie, this is Hamilton.

We have to do something!
[ … ]

Beast, believe me, there’s nothing to do.

There is one thing we could try.

Well, what is it?

You’re not gonna like it.

Just tell me.

You won’t do it.

(Laughing) Maybe I will.

You know the story about the princess who kissed the frog

and turned him back into a prince?

I won’t do it.

See, I told you.

I’m sorry, Beast, but I won’t kiss a frog.

Please, Maggie?

Look how cute he is.

It’s Hamilton, dear, wonderful Hamilton.

(Frog burping)

(Maggie sighing)

(Kissing)

There, that’s the best I can do.

Hey, what’s going on?

(Gasping)

(Laughing) Where have you been, Hamilton?

You’ve had the Beast very worried.

What’s wrong, Beast?

Oh, nothing.

Where did you go?

I went to ask Nedley if he knew

a rabbit I could pull out of my hat.

Well, did he?

No, and he seemed a little insulted.

He said he didn’t know any rabbits in show business,

but tell me, Beast, why were you so worried?

It was nothing, right, Maggie?

Tell him it was nothing.

It was nothing, really, Hamilton.

(Giggling)

All right, but I think I’ve had enough magic for one day.

Just let me put this stuff away.

(Squealing) What on earth?

(Maggie and Beast laughing)

Eww! What’s on my head?

It’s a frog.

He wants to be in show business.

(Frog ribbiting)

(All laughing)

Oh, here it comes!

I caught it!

You sure did, Hamilton.

(Beast and Rudy cheering)

It was nice of Nedley to give us a beach ball.

Where is Nedley?

I don’t know.

He was supposed to join our picnic.

Jellybeans, have you seen Nedley?

Nope. Not today.

Uh-huh. Haven’t seen him.

He’s too late, anyway, we’re cleaning up.

I wonder what’s keeping him.

(Nedley yelling)

ALLNedley?

Great googly moogly!



Nedley, I didn’t know you could

ride a unicycle and juggle.

At the same time!

I love to ride and love to juggle,

but doing both can be a struggle.

Well, you seem to be very good at it.

Yes!

Amazing! Fantastic!

Riding that unicycle must have made you hungry.

I think there’s some lunch left over.

Oh no, I cannot stay,

but there’s something important I must say.

What is it, Nedley?

This unicycle I rode here for a purpose.

I’m running away to join the circus.

(All gasping)

What, join the circus?

You’re kidding.

You mean, you’re leaving Nowhere Land?

It’s something I've always wanted to do,

but when I leave, I will miss you.

Is there anything we can do to make you stay?

I’m sorry, I've already made up my mind.

As friends, you’ve all been so kind.

Now I’ve gotta go home to pack.

I’ll say goodbye on my way back.

Oh dear.

It won’t be the same without Nedley.

There must be something we can do to make him stay.

(All sighing)

(Gasping) I’ll be right back.

(Crashing)

Ta-da!

Hamilton, this is hardly the time for dress-up!

No, Beast, Hamilton has an idea,

a very good idea.

We’ll put on our own circus.

We’ll even build our own circus ring.
[ … ]

Then Nedley won’t want to leave.

I can be the ringmaster.

That is a good idea!

(All cheering)

(Playful music)

There, we’re all done.

JELLYBEANSSo are we!

Come see!

Yeah, come and look!

What is it?

It’s a high-wire.

It is?

Of course it is.

Oh, it’s very high.

(Drum roll)

Woah.

Oh, wow!

Careful!

Woah!

(All gasping)

Woah! (Grunting)

(Laughing) Ta-da!

Oh boy, maybe we’ll work on it a bit.

Yeah, I guess we better.

I thought it was very good.

Yes, now what will the rest of you be?

I want to be the tall man.

Hmm, well, what you’ll need are some stilts.

I may have something in my box, come on!

(Jellybeans grunting)

What will we be, Maggie?

We can be a team.

You can be an elephant and I’ll do tricks on your back.

Oh, I love elephants.

Hamilton! Oh, Hamilton!

Yes, Beast.

Can I borrow your vacuum hose?

Sure, but what do you need it for?

I’m an elephant.

Oh, okay.

(Playful music)

Here you go.

Thank you.

Maggie, will you tie it on, please?

Sure, Beast.

There.

Now I look like an elephant.

(Trumpeting like an elephant)

Now hold still a minute.

(Laughing) Whee!

Wow, Maggie, that looks like fun.

Let me try.

Oof.

(Funny music)

Woah! I’m dizzy!

(Crashing)

Maybe I’ll stick to being the elephant.

(Maggie laughing)

HAMILTONWe’re ready!

Ladies, gentlemen, and beasts of all ages.

A warm round of applause for Rudy the tall man.

(All cheering)

Stand on your stilts, Rudy.

I am!

Woah!

(All cheering)

Now all we need for our circus is Nedley.

(Rudy grunting)

We’ll go get him.

Come on, Beast.

See you later.

Let’s go practice.

Yeah, we really want to impress Nedley.

We’ll be all ready when you get back!



Hamilton?

(Hamilton giggling)

Hamilton!

Welcome to Nedley’s Nowhere Land Circus!

Huh?

To your right are the amazing jellybeans.

(All cheering)

Come on.

Steady, steady, ta da!

(All cheering)



(All cheering)

Wow.

And to your left is Rudy the tall man!

(Drum roll)

(All cheering)

MAGGIEWay to go, Rudy!

And for the finale, the dynamic duo,

Maggie and the Ferocious Elephant!

(Upbeat music)

(Maggie humming, Beast trumpeting)

Ta-da!

Oh, my, what do you know?

Nowhere Land’s own circus show.

And all we’re missing is a juggler on a unicycle.
[ … ]

What do you say, Nedley?

How can I refuse?

You’ve won, I'll gladly join your circus of fun.

You mean, you won’t leave Nowhere Land

to run away and join the circus?

No, my friend, please do not fear.

I’ll unpack my bags, I’m staying here.

(All laughing)

Look at that rabbit go!

Oh dear, it’s raining.

I’m getting wet.

Look, there’s the Land of the Umbrella Trees.

Where?

Over there, Beast, to the left.

Great googly moogly!

I love the umbrella trees.



(Laughing) Isn’t the rain in the

Land of the Umbrella Trees wonderful?

It smells so good and it’s always warm.

It’s still wet.

Let’s get under an umbrella tree.

Hmm ...

Beast, what are you looking for?

I’m picking out the prettiest tree.

Don’t be ridiculous, any one will do.

Let’s just get out of the rain.

(Gasping) Oh, there’s one!

Maggie, isn’t that one pretty?

Yes!

Oh dear, hurry up!



I’m comfy.

I’m cozy.

I’m wet.

Come on, Hammy, relax.

Oh, please don’t call me "Hammy".

In case you haven’t noticed, my box is getting wet.

Well, there isn’t room for it under here.

I can’t leave it out in the rain.

(Grunting)

Do you have anything to eat in there, Hamilton?

Yes.

Wait a minute, I’ll help.



I hope he brought something good.

I’m hungry.

Here, better dry off.

I’m nice and dry, now let’s eat.

Mmm, that was delicious.

And it’s not raining anymore.

(Gasping) Look!

(Maggie gasping)

HAMILTONAmazing!

I’ve never seen such a beautiful rainbow.

It ends way over there.

Come on, let’s head for the end of the rainbow.

Okay, let’s go.



HAMILTONWe’ve been travelling a long time, Maggie,

and the end of the rainbow doesn’t seem to be any closer.

I know, and nothing is familiar.

Please stop, Beast.

Gladly, I’m getting tired.

(Sad music)

Look, here is the Land of the Umbrella Trees

and we’re going this way.

We should be coming to Mud Creek.

Mud Creek?

Where have I heard that name?

Mud Creek, hmm ...

(Bee buzzing)

(Humming)

I know, that’s where BB Cat said he was from.

Right, well it looks like the end of the rainbow

is somewhere in Mud Creek.

Let’s go!

Maybe we’ll see BB Cat.

(Jazzy music)

HAMILTONLook, it’s a bridge!

That must be the -cent bridge

that BB Cat told us about.

Right, Maggie, and that’s Mud Creek.

Oh dear, the gate is closed.

And we can’t reach the end of the rainbow

unless we can cross the bridge.

CROWThat’s right, and you can’t cross the bridge

unless youse pay me a dime.

Hello, Mr. Crow.

We’re on our way to find the end of the rainbow

over there in Mud Creek.

Many try to reach the end of the rainbow

and they all have to pay to cross the bridge.

But, Mr. Crow, we don’t have a dime.

Hmm, well now,

then you can’t cross the bridge!

We don’t have cents, but we do

have a lovely pumpkin muffin.

Hmm, pumpkin muffin, hmm...

Look, here comes BB Cat!
[ … ]

Hi, BB!

Hello, little miss Maggie.

Hi, Beast, Hamilton.

What are you doing here?

We’re trying to reach the end of the rainbow.

Yeah, everybody looking for the end of the rainbow

usually winds up here in Mud Creek.

But we don’t have a dime to cross the bridge.

If you had a dime, I’d tell you not to waste it

trying to reach the end of that rainbow.

Why?

Because it can’t be done.

Rainbows aren’t meant to be chased.

They’re just there for us to enjoy.

Oh, do you think we should turn back?

Indeed, I do, little miss Maggie.

Let me sing you a song.

Maybe it’ll help explain a bit.

♪ You’ll never find the end of the rainbow ♪

♪ To try is just a waste of precious time ♪

♪ For the joy a rainbow brings

♪ Like the song a bluebird sings ♪

♪ Will be swept away forever in the sky ♪

♪ So remember when you see another rainbow ♪

♪ Only fools will try to chase that pot of gold ♪

♪ For the treasures you hold dear ♪

♪ Are the things you have right here ♪

♪ As you watch a rainbow fading in the sky ♪

Oh, that was beautiful, BB.

It sure was.

Look, Maggie, you can’t see the rainbow anymore.

Like the song says, it’s very foolish

to try to chase a rainbow.

Well, I guess that means it’s time to turn around.

Climb on, BB.

Are you sure, Beast?

Posi-lutely!

MAGGIEGoodbye, Mr. Crow.

(All saying "bye")

Hey, hey, hey, what about my pumpkin muffin?

All right, here you go.

Thanks and remember, don’t go chasing anymore rainbows.

Okay. We won’t.

How did that song go again, BB?
