soul'
but man does not yet know it.
That's why we still have some kind
of independence.
But if he finds the Bluebird'
he will know all, he will see all'
and we will be completely at his
mercy.
Dear me, how very alarming.
We've got to stop them'
so they never find the Bluebird!
- Don't say that!
- Why not?
We must obey Man. We must do what
he tells us.
Give us the reasons.
There are no reasons.
I love Man, that's enough!
Hooray for Man!
You do one thing against him'
I'll throttle you first
and go and tell him everything.
Hurry back.
Goodbye.
I can't see anything, can you?
Perhaps you must turn the diamond?
- What?
- Still nothing.
Light said we'd see
grandma and grandpa.
Perhaps she was wrong.
Mytyl, look.
Don't you recognize it?
I don't know. I can't remember.
Yes, I can, Tyltyl!
It's grandpa's cottage.
Grandpa? Stop sleeping!
Wake up, Grandpa!
What? What is it? What's up?
- Don't you feel anything?
- Feel what? I am half asleep.
It's Mytyl and Tyltyl.
They're thinking of us.
So they are.
- Here we are, Grandma!
- Grandpa, here we are!
I'm not up to running much.
It's me rheumatics.
My dears!
Oh, how tall and strong you've grown.
- Little Mytyl!
- Come here, Mytyl.
And you come to me.
How sweet you smell.
Kiss me again.
And what about me?
Come kiss your old grandfather.
Are your mommy and daddy all right?
Well, they were asleep when we came
out.
You haven't changed a bit, Grandpa.
Neither has Grandma.
- We stopped growing older.
- But you two have changed!
Come, let's take
a look at you.
Come along to the mark on the door
where we measured you last time.
Stand straight. That's right.
Oh, four fingers! My, how you've
enlarged! You come along here now.
Four and a half! Oh, you are enlarged!
My, how you've grown!
Oh, if you’d only come see us more
often.
We're always here, you know, waiting
for a visit from those who are alive.
Every time you think of us'
we wake up and see you again.
You mean it's enough just to think?
- Didn't you know that?
- No.
The living, they never learn anything.
Do you sleep all the time?
It's good to sleep
when life is done.
It's good to wake up sometimes, too.
Any holes in your stockings to darn?
No.
Nothing here, either. What a shame.
I used to do all the sewing, you know.
Yes, I remember.
Remember my apple tarts?
And the cabbage soup?
- I always ate too much.
- He always made himself sick.
So he did, so he did.
- Would you like some now?
- Yes, sure.
Come along then.
There you are.
How good it smells.
Not as good as the soup I used to
make, though.
Nothing's as good as it used to be.
It's all too easy.
When you've been a mother
and a housewife'
Paradise is too like Sunday
To be true.
It's not bad at all, this Heaven'
But it's not quite life.
How can it be
With nothing to do?
When you've been a woodsman
and a father'
Working hard to keep your children
And a wife'
It's all right awhile this resting.
But I'd rather spend, well'
Some of the time
Back in life.
Honestly, I'd sooner I was spending
At least some of my
Eternity in mending...
- In raking...
- Patching...
- Thatching...
- Baking...
Absolutely any old chore.
But they won't let us
Work here any more.
Oh, this is good! I want some more.
Oh, look what you've done.
There! Behave yourself!
Didn't I tell you?
That's just like the slaps you used
to give me when you were alive.
But you're right, nothing has changed.
Not even your manners.
Does the blackbird still sing?
As soon as you think of him'
there he is.
But he's blue.
Grandpa, he's blue!
Grandma, that's the Bluebird!
The Bluebird!
Oh, can we have him, please?
Will you give him to us?
- What do you think, Grandpa?
- Sure. He does nothing but sleep.
Oh, I'm so glad we've found him here.
I'm afraid he'll come flying back
with the first wind that blows.
We'll take great care of him.
Was anyone thinking of the time?
That clock never works.
- Yes,
