you.
Oh, Doc, I got
this here "poomonia."
- Sit down.
- Ahh-ahh-ahh...
[Sneezing]
- Bless you, Ma.
- Bless you, Ma.
[Groaning, Panting]
I got this terrible ache in my back!
Good. What's rightfully yours
is rightfully yours.
Now, you want Pete, right?
- Right!
- Right!
- Right!
I want... the dragon.
- The dragon?
- The dragon?
- [Laughing]
W-W-Wait a minute.
Now I got
a stitch in my side.
You really want
the dragon?
Very much. Mm-hmm.
Well, then, what are you willing
to give for it?
The help you need
getting Pete.
I'll need the same kind
of help getting the dragon.
[Cackling]
[Laughing]
N-Now I think the pain's
in my head!
- Have we got a deal?
- Sure.
We scratch your back,
you scratch ours.
The boathouse,
sunset, hmm?
Uh, Doc.
What you gonna do
with a dragon?
Oh, maybe put him on a ranch,
breed him. Hmm?
Big stud fees.
Ahoy. Ahoy. Here.
How would you like to make
the fishing good again?
- How do we do that?
- Catch that dragon!
Set a trap for him, throw a net
over him, drag him away.
Good-bye, Elliott.
Hello, fish. Hmm?
Sunset, the boathouse.
Spread the word, hmm?
[Fishermen Murmuring
In Agreement]
Get back!
Get back!
Dr. Terminus! Here's that
there harpoon you wanted!
Good! Put it
right over there!
[Ma]
Now you just remember our bargain!
Okay, I want separate trip lines
on the primary tarp,
the secondary net
and on the tertiary.
- T-Tertiary?
- What's that?
Dragon medicine.
[Cackling]
- Okay, fix it.
- We've done it!
Don't signal
till you're re...
- [Men Shouting]
- Get this net up off of me!
Will you get this... Will you
get this net up! Up! Up!
Now, I've gotta go
and get that kid.
You rehearse this and make it run
like clockwork or else.
Elliott!
Oh, Elliott, you were terrific
the way you saved us from the Gogans.
- [Laughing]
- What?
[Gibberish]
Do you mean it?
[Clicking Tongue]
Wow! That's great.
You're the most wonderful dragon
in the whole world.
[Soft Growling,
Clicking Tongue]
Wait till I tell Nora!
[Humming]
Nora! Nora! Good news!
Elliott found Paul,
and he's on his way home!
- Pete...
- I wouldn't say anything
like that if I were you.
But it's true.
Elliott said.
Please.
There's been enough talk
about Paul,
and Elliott too.
[Sighing]
Both of us have to be...
realistic.
Paul's ship went down.
He's not coming back.
And I have to adjust
my life to it.
You have to make
a big adjustment too.
You have us now.
You don't have to make believe
your only friend is a dragon.
But I'm not making believe.
That's what I mean
by "realistic."
There are no dragons.
Except for Elliott.
He's real.
Lampie, you've seen him,
haven't you?
Well, l...
I thought I saw him.
Wait till Paul gets here. Then you'll
know how realistic Elliott is.
Okay.
Until that time, let's try
not to talk about it.
How about filling
the reserve oil can?
Sure.
Well, at least one of us
is entitled to have illusions.
[Thunderclap]
[Wind Howling]
Pete! Pete, it's Elliott!
- What's the matter?
- Elliott's in Passapaka... Pakadaka...
He's in town, and he's
tearing the place apart.
- You've gotta do something.
- Oh, no!
[Laughing]
We should be
in the channel.
We should've made
Passamaquoddy Light by now.
I know the light keepers
personally.
- He's in there! Come on!
- Elliott! Elliott!
Did I say the primary
was really the tertiary?
[Men Shouting]
Never!
- Where's Elliott?
- Nowhere!
Your hokey-pokey dragon's
out helping Santa Claus pull his sled!
- Boys!
- Let me go!
Now you're never
gonna get away again!
We're gonna put chains
on you when you're workin'!
- And when you're not workin'.
- And when you're sleepin'!
Okay, okay. Tear him to pieces
in your own time.
Right now he is
the bait for the trap.
Take him in there where that thing can
see him when he comes through the door.
He'll head straight for Pete.
We spring the trap.
After the tertiary net drops on him,
I'll give you the
