[APPLAUSE OVER SPEAKER]

Thank you, thank you.
You'’re too kind.

[STEREO BUTTON CLICKS OFF]

Why'’d you turn off
my clapping CD, Emmy?

Because you'’ve been listening
to it all morning.

And besides,
it'’s time to go to Dragon Land.

Yeah. For the giant,
huge, unbelievably big show.

[LAUGHS]

It'’s just a show
for our dragon friends, Max.

It'’s not that big a deal.

It is to me.

I have the biggest part.

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

With all my heart

To fly with dragons
In a land apart

[♪♪]

Huh?

Yay! You'’re here!

ZAK:
Welcome, fellow actors.

Now the cast is here.

Love it!

Great costumes.

And here are your costumes,
niños.

Is everyone ready

for Paint Your Dragon?I am.

He'’s been practicing
taking a bow all morning.

I am sure our little play
will be a big success.

But the most important thing

is that you all enjoy
yourselves.

Do we really have to practice
our lines again, Zaky?

Practice makes perfect.

Okay, so I say,

"It sure is a nice day."

And you say...?

Uh...

As long as it doesn'’t snow.

Oh. Rain.

Oh, right, rain.

Please, Wheezie,

don'’t make that mistake
on stage.

I don'’t want us
to be embarrassed

in front of all the people
in the audience.

What'’s the matter, Max?

Zak said it'’s embarrassing
if you make a mistake on stage.

What if I make a mistake?

Don'’t worry, you'’ll be fine.

[GASPS]

All right, niños,
time to take your places.

We are going to rehearse.

Rehearse?

Where'’s that?

Rehearse means practice.

Oh.

Well, why didn'’t Quetzal
just say so?

Come on, Max.

Quetzal wants everyone
to rehearse their parts.

I don'’t think
I can do this, Emmy.

I might make a mistake.

It'’s okay to make mistakes
during rehearsal, Max.

Really?

Sure.
That'’s what rehearsal is for.

It'’s okay if I make a mistake
in rehearsal.

But I don'’t want to

because if I don'’t make
a mistake,

then I know I'’ll do it right
in the real play.

Don'’t make a mistake.
Don'’t make a mistake.

Who are you, stranger?

And why have you come?

I have come
to paint your dragon,

so that you may enter it
in the big parade.

But we have no paint.

No problem. I have a, uh...

Uh, don'’t make a mistake.

Don'’t make a mistake.

As I said, we have no paint.

Uh, no problem.

I have a, um...

magic brush.

I-- I mean,
a magic paintbrush.

I shall return.

Who was that
very mysterious person?

Don'’t you know?

He is the greatest painter
in all the world.

Yes.
See how wonderfully he paints?

I was once a plain
gray flower.

Look at me now.

Muy bien.

We will now try
the next scene,

after the painter,
played by Max,

returns with his
magic paintbrush.

Max?

What'’s the matter, Max?

I forgot my line.

Then I made a mistake.

It'’s okay.

No one even noticed.

It doesn'’t matter.

Messing up
in rehearsal means

I'’m gonna mess up
in the real play,

in front of a whole big,
huge real audience.

I know how you feel.

Sometimes I get scared
about making mistakes too.

So, what do you?

I take a deep breath.

What does that do?

I don'’t know why,
but it helps me to relax.

QUETZAL:
Max, we need you back on stage.

[♪♪]

[INHALES]

[INHALES]

[GASPS]

[EXHALES]

Look, he'’s back.

Yes, it is I.

And I have come
with my "pagic maintbrush."

Hm.

I-- I mean,
magic paintbrush.

Oh, no. Another mistake.

Muy bien, niños.

Very good job.

Yeah, a good job messing up.

And if I mess up this bad
in rehearsal...

We'’re gonna have
a full house.

Love it!

Uh...

Where'’s Max?

Oh, no.

Max was worried
about making a mistake

in front of the audience.

Maybe he...

Ran off to hide.

That'’s what I do sometimes
when I'’m scared.

We can'’t do our play
without Max.

He'’s the painter.

He'’s the star.

Let'’s find Max.

ALL: Max![ALL SHOUTING]

CASSIE:
Come on, Max!

Max?

MAMA MIA:
What'’s the matter?

You losing somebody?

Yeah, our friend Max.

He--

Who--? Who said that?

Mama Mia.

Mama Mia?

That'’s me.

Mama Mia Portobello.

So this Max,
he'’s a little kid about yay big?

You'’ve seen him?

Hm...

Check the roof.

[ALL GASPS]

EMMY:
What are you doing up there,
Max?

It'’s almost showtime.

Well, I'’m not gonna be
in the show.

All those dragons, staring.

I'’ll make a mistake
and feel embarrassed for sure.

Gee, Max.

Making mistakes
isn'’t so bad.

I make them all the time.

They can even be funny.

Funny? How?

Well, last week I was fixing

a peanut butter
and dragonberry jelly sandwich,

except I got mixed up.

And instead of jelly,
I used ketchup by mistake.

[ALL LAUGHING]

See what I mean?

Well, maybe that kind of mistake
is funny,

but being in front
of a big crowd

and having them all
point and laugh,

that'’s not funny.

Nobody'’s gonna laugh, Max.

And you know why?

Because everybody makes mistakes
sometimes.

Really?

MAMA MIA:
That'’s right.

I got this nephew,
Vito Scallopini,

big-sh*t movie star.

Always making mistakes.

Come on, Max.
The show will be fun.

You'’ll be with your friends.

And just think of all
that clapping and cheering,

like on your CD at home.

Attaboy, Max.

Okay, I leave you.

You found Max.

I was starting to worry,
niños.

The audience is waiting.

[♪♪]

There'’s so many of them.

Max, Max, calm down.

If it is making a mistake
that worries you,

perhaps I can help.

How?

I will be right here on the side
of the stage the whole time.

If you lose your place

or forget
what you are supposed to say,

look over,

and I will whisper
the correct line to you.

Will that help
make you less nervous?

But what if the audience sees me
looking over?

They'’ll know
I made a mistake.

Quetzal, aren'’t those supposed
to be the Blue Rock Mountains?

Yes, Cassie.

Don'’t they look
like mountains?

Yes, but they'’re red.

Aren'’t the Blue Rock Mountains
supposed to be blue.

[EMMY GASPS][LAUGHING]

You are absolutely right.

I painted them the wrong color
by mistake.

[LAUGHING]

Oh, well.

I suppose they are now
the Red Rock Mountains.

Wow. Quetzal made a mistake.

But he'’s acting
like it'’s no big deal.

Because it isn'’t, Max.

It'’s like we'’ve been
telling you.

Everybody makes mistakes.

Well, if even Quetzal
can make a mistake,

I guess it can happen
to anybody.

And now,
ladies and gentledragons,

I give you
Paint Your Dragon.

I have come
to paint your dragon,

so that you may enter it
in the big parade.

But we have no paint.

That is okay.

Because I have a...

Uh... Um...

[WHISPERING]
Magic paintbrush.

I have a magic paintbrush.

You do?

Well,
that would be just cookie.

Uh, I mean that would be
just great.

[CHUCKLES]

Oopsie.

MAX:
They didn'’t even notice
your mistake,

and it was bigger
than my mistake.

Yup.

Everything I do is bigger.

I have returned.

Soon you will have
the most colorful dragon in--

Uh...

[INHALES THEN EXHALES]

You will have
the most colorful dragon

in the whole parade.

So come on, everyone.

It is time
to paint your dragon.

[APPLAUSE]

[AUDIENCE WHISTLING]

Wonderful job, niños.

Muy bien hecho,Max.

It wasn'’t so bad
making a mistake.

And after I took a deep breath
and relaxed,

I could remember my last line
without any help.

Good for you, Max.

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

To use this rhyme

To go back home
Until next time

What a great day.

Being on stage was fun.

Yeah, and having
all those people clap for us...

[GASPS]

[APPLAUSE OVER RADIO]

MAX:
Thank you. Thank you.

[SIGHS]

Oh, no, not again.

[♪♪]

I love my new skateboard.

But I'’ll never be able
to ride it

if this rain doesn'’t stop.

I know a place
where you can ride it, Emmy.

BOTH:
Dragon Land!

I wish, I wish
With all my heart

To fly with dragons
In a land apart

[♪♪]

Max, Emmy.

Come look at the pretty
flowers we'’re planting.

They'’re called jumbo two-lips,
niños.

I can see why they'’re called
two-lips,

but jumbo?

MAX:
They'’re so tiny.

Not for long.

[LAUGHS]

This watering can holds
very special grow water,

from the grow fountain,

Whoa![CHUCKLES]

Cool.

What'’s that, Emmy?

It'’s a skateboard, Cassie.

Watch.

That looks fun.

That looks fast.

Too fast.

Good thing
you'’re wearing padding.

Can I try it, Emmy?

I'’ll be real careful.

And I'’ll wear a helmet,
and knee pads, and elbow pads.

Just like you.

Of course, Ord.

But the thing
is you'’re really, um, uh...

I think what Emmy'’s trying
to tell you, Ord,

is that you'’re too big and heavy
to ride her small skateboard.

Oh. You'’re right.

I'’d feel bad
if I smushed it.

Quetzal, if we sprinkled
grow water on the skateboard,

would get bigger?

Sí,Emmy.

Big enough
for a dragon to ride.

Wait a minute.

Then the skateboard
will be much too big

for Emmy to use
after Ord'’s done riding it.

A few drops of shrink water
can return anything

to its small size.

One Ord-sized skateboard
coming up.

Hm.

Gracias, Quetzal.

[ALL GASPING]

Have fun, niños,

And be safe, Ord.

Emmy.
You'’re such a good friend.

Oh. Mm.

But riding a skateboard
isn'’t as easy as it looks.

Skateboarding takes
just the right balance.

I can balance. Watch this.

Ord, wait.

Whoa!

Are you okay, Ord?

[GROANS]

Like I was saying,
skateboarding takes balance.

And lots of practice.

And a skateboard.

Where'’d it go?

Look.
The skateboard must have gone

through the mud patch.

Its wheels left a muddy trail
we can follow.

Come on. A skateboard that big
can'’t be too hard to find.

ZAK:
The trail leads
to Mr. Dustfree'’s house.

He'’s the cleanest, neatest gnome
in all of Dragon Land.

MR. DUSTFREE:
Oh, dear, oh, dear.

So much grime,
so little time.

Oh, dear, oh, dear.

Can I help you, children?

I hope so, Mr. Dustfree.

Did you see a big board
with wheels?

I certainly did.

It came
right through my front door

and right out the back door.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

It left the most awful,
muddy mess.

But a good mopping
took care of that.

Sorry about the mud,
Mr. Dustfree.

It'’s my board
and we'’re trying to find it.

I'’m really sorry
about the trouble we caused you.

Come on, guys.

Oh, do wait a moment,
children.

How does some freshly baked

dragonchip cookies
and milk sound?

Sounds yummy.ALL: Mm. Yeah.

Well, then come inside,
all of you,

But, please, wipe your feet.

My award-winning recipe.

The secret is I put exactly
five dragonchips

on the left side of each cookie
and five on the right side.

For the perfect balance.

And speaking of balance,
no spilling, please.

In fact, why don'’t you all
carry your snacks

out back to the patio.

Uh...

I don'’t think I can do this.

I'’m not such a good balancer

and I'’ll probably spill
and lose my whole snack,

and Mr. Dustfree'’ll get mad
and--

Ord. It'’s okay.

You can do it.

Look straight ahead
and you won'’t be so wobbly.

It'’s true.

Looking straight ahead
does help you balance.

Oh, no.

I can'’t look straight ahead.

My cookies look too yummy
for me to not to look at them.

I have an idea.

Look at my cookies, Ord.

Your cookies?

Gee, Max.
Your cookies do look yummy too.

Okay, keep looking
and follow me.

It worked.

I did it
without spilling anything.

But just to make sure

I don'’t make a mess
on the patio...

[SNORTS AND MOANS]

[ALL LAUGHING]

Thank you, Mr. Dustfree.

Yes, thank you.

Your cookies
are the best.

Loved them.

I'’m saving this one
for later.

You'’re all very welcome
and very tidy.

Good luck
finding your big muddy board.

Look. The skateboard trail
leads down to Fuzzlebush Gulch.

Oh, no. The Fuzzle Bushes
in Fuzzlebush Gulch

are so fuzzle-y.

And itchy.

It looks like my skateboard
rode over this log.

We'’ll have to follow the trail
across.

Across the log?

But it looks too skinny
to walk on.

You can do it, Ord.

You kept your balance
at Mr. Dustfree'’s house.

But that
was on a whole wide floor.

It'’s the same thing.

Whoa.

Just a little more wiggly.

No fooling around, Wheezie.

I don'’t wanna fall
on to an itchy Fuzzle Bush.

Because then I'’ll be up
all night scratching.

And then I'’ll be grouchy.

And if I'’m itchy and grouchy,
well, then--

Uh, Zaky,
we'’re already across.

Oh. I knew that.

Your turn, Ord.

I'’ll be right behind you.

Can'’t you maybe go with me,
Emmy?

Sorry, Ord.

The log'’s not wide enough
for the two of us.

Well, maybe you can walk
across the other log

and I can walk on this one,

and I can hold your hand
if I start to lose my balance.

Definitely.

Ready?

Whoa.

The log is too wiggly.

I'’m too wiggly.

Try putting your arms out
to the side,

like a tightrope walker
in the circus.

Okay...

BOTH:
Whoa!

It'’s okay, Ord.

Keep going.
You'’re doing great.

Maybe if I look
straight ahead,

like when I looked
at Max'’s cookies.

ALL:
Yay.

You did it!ZAK: All right!

I did.

I walked across
without falling.

Well, let'’s keep going.

[GRUNTS]

I'’m getting itchy just thinking
about those Fuzzle Bushes

Where to next?

The trail goes that way.

[♪♪]

CASSIE:
Tiger Lily Pond.

My skateboard must'’ve fallen
in the pond.

No, it didn'’t. Look.

It must'’ve been moving
so fast,

it skipped
all the way across the water.

I wish we could skip across.

We can wade.

It'’s not very deep.

Walking thru a strange pond?

Uh-uh. Ew.

You never know
what'’s gonna crawl up your leg.

Oh, Zaky.
Well, we could fly across.

We'’d better not.

Our flapping
might upset the baby birds.

Wading it is, I guess.

Guess again.

We can all float
on tiger lily pads.

CASSIE:
Just like the little butterfrog.

Yeah. Just put one foot
behind the other like this.

It'’s like dragon surfing.

No funny business, Wheezie,

I'’m in no mood for a bath.

[LAUGHS]

Love it.

Whee!

This is...

Whoa!

My tiger lily pad
almost tipped over.

Make sure not to lean too far
to one side.

And bend your knees.

You'’ll balance even better.

Ord?

I can'’t, Emmy.

Sure, you can.

You carried the milk and cookies
through Mr. Dustfree'’s house

without spilling,
and you walked across the log

without falling
into the Fuzzle Bushes.

Well, I did balance
pretty well.

Ooh, I'’ll try it.

Okay, Ord. Okay.

Arms out to the side.

Don'’t lean too far
either way.

ZAK:
And bend your knees.

You'’re doing great, Ord.

I am.

I really, really am.

ZAK: All right. Way to go, Ord.ALL: CHEERING.

MAX:
That was awesome, Ord.

ORD:
Thanks, dude.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

I'’m sure glad we got
your skateboard back, Emmy.

EMMY:
I knew we would.

It'’s fun to ride it
when it'’s so big.

But it'’s more your size.

Really?

But I still need lots and lots
of practice.

All the balancing you had to do
to get here,

you'’ve been practicing
all day.

I have?

I have.

Look straight ahead,
arms out.

Don'’t lean too
far to either side,

bend your knees.

I'’m doing it.

I'’m riding a skateboard.

Way to go, Ord.
Wonderful.

ZAK: All right!WHEEZIE: Yahoo!

Hey, I almost forgot.

The cookie I saved.

Cookie?

Ord. No.

Keep watching
where you'’re going.

Huh? Mm.

Aah!

How to steer
is a whole other lesson.

A few drops of shrink water,

and the skateboard
is back to Emmy-size.

Thanks, Quetzal.

Bye, everybody.
See you soon.

ALL:
Bye!

BOTH:
I wish, I wish

To use this rhyme

To go back home
Until next time

No more skateboarding today.

You can help me build
my log tower, if you want.

Whoa!
It'’s gonna fall and make a mess.

You just need
to add a log here

so each side
has the same number of logs.

For the perfect balance.
