Dragon Girl (2020) - full transcript
Christmas is just around the corner in the little village of Borington. Nerdy Mortimer, happy to be on break from school and his less than understanding schoolmates, is trying to increase his popularity with his mostly ill-fated YouTube posts. Meanwhile a little refugee girl, Sara -afraid she must leave the only country she has ever known and be forced back to a country she's never seen- is hiding from everybody. No friends, no family, just her little gnome dolls that she keeps as her only companions. But everything changes one morning when an animal crashes into the very home where Sara is hiding. This is no woodland creature, but a young dragon who -much like Sara herself- is all alone in the world trying to find his way to where he belongs. Another chance encounter introduces Mortimer into the mix. Can these three lost souls help each other during this magical Christmas and give each the love and support to find their way through bullies, Christmas festivals, cops, soldiers (and flaming dragon poop) to have homes for Christmas?

[Mortimer] Hey, all of you
thousands of viewers!
Today I thought
to challenge myself a bit.
It's been
too much external focus.
So today I thought I'd do...
The Rakfisk Challenge.
Also, for those of you
that didn't know,
Rakfisk is a Norwegian delicacy.
Remember, like and subscribe
if you like
my Rakfisk Challenge.
Yum-yum.
[Mortimer exhaling]
[Mortimer spitting]
[Mom] What are you doing?
Throwing up.
Oh, Mortimer.
You're taking too much time
in front of that screen.
This is awesome.
If I don't get likes now,
then I will never get likes.
Okay, just make sure
you get to
the school graduation, right?
Before the Christmas holidays.

-Hello.
-Morning, children.
[radio beeping]
We're looking for
a girl around your age.
[student] A missing girl?
[pocket zipping]
[dispatch over radio]
To all patrol,
we're still on the lookout
for the missing girl.
She's been breaking into houses
and living there
while the owners are away.
She takes small things
that children like to collect.
I'm not saying that any of you
have anything to do
with this girl,
but the fact here is...
if you know something
but say nothing,
they'll hold you responsible.
So, find this missing child.
An ocarina belonging to me
disappeared from my room.
It's one of those clay flutes.
-While you were away?
-Uh-huh, yes.
-Hm?
-Where did she escape from?
-[student] Oh, Mortimer.
-Okay.
Wow.
[children giggling]
Enjoy your... Christmas.

Breaking news, a criminal
on the loose in Borington.
Uh, Mortimer from MTV
will attempt
to get a statement
from a long arm of the law.
Remember, like and subscribe.
Officer,
do you have a statement?
What can you say
for the listeners?
What are you up to?
Don't you know it's a crime
to film an officer on duty
without their permission?
And what about
freedom of speech?
What?
What's your name?
Mortimer Olsen.
Mortimer Olsen. Hm.

It's just one thing, Mortimer,
I was wondering about.
The guys will be here

And we were wondering if...
See?
Beware.
I am the brother of dragons.
[chuckling, snorting]

you could feed
Arnfinson's goldfish, hm?
Please. You know how he is.

Where's it come from? Yours?

Wow.
Imagine how many likes
he'll get me.
No. Are you crazy?
Come on.
We could become mega famous.
We can share the fame together.
Come on.
It's just a short video.
I said no. Don't you get it?
If you blow our cover,
we'll get caught.

There, there.
It's nothing dangerous.
Okay. I won't say a thing.
You swear?
Yep.

Uh, I have to go home now.
I have homework.
Bye.
You remember your promise?
You can't say
anything to anyone.
Yeah, sure.
[soft purring]
Something insane...
A world sensation...
Okay, okay.
[camera timer beeping]
Hey, people.
Today I experienced
something crazy,
something insane,
a world sensation.
But it's a secret
because if the world
finds out about this,
who knows what will happen?
So you just
have to wait in suspense.
There. It's alright.

Good morning, Morty-Mort.
-Hey, Papa.
-Okay, watch now.
Ready? Look!
Rayo-ignum!
[chuckling]
-What do you think? So?
-Cool.
But what do you know
about dragons?
Dragons?
A lot, actually.
Dragons are very misunderstood.
Dragons are very shy.
They reveal themselves
very rarely to humans.
Just seeing one
would be a world sensation,
and they're always hunted...
because they are quite
dangerous creatures.
-Papa?
-[Papa] Yes?
Can you loan me
one of your dragon books?
Please?
Please? I'll feed the fish
for an entire week.
Borrow my dragon books?
Of course you can borrow
my dragon books.
I have so many books do--
of course.
Of course.
Start with these.
Plenty of exciting info,
good stuff, and...
you can borrow this.
This contains things
you won't find online.
[Mortimer]
"Deep inside the mountains,
there are secret portals that
lead to the dragons' world."
Check this out.
[page flapping]
[Mortimer] Almost all have been
forgotten or have been lost.
But it said
that some still exist.
Secret portals?
How cool is that?
See here?
It says that "some dragons
come into our world
with fantastic abilities.
They often grant wishes
to whoever helps them."
That's awesome.
What would you wish for?
I would wish
for a thousand likes.
Why?
Because that means
that you're popular,
and people like you.
But you can't do
anything with likes.
You can't talk to them,
you can't eat them.
Eat them?
You can't drink them either.

there was a war where I lived.
My mother, father, my brother...

and myself managed to escape.
We came to Norway.
We thought
it would be safe here.
We weren't.
My sweet neighbor got sent back,
the police came.
And then
the police came to get me...
but I ran away from the center.
And since then, I've been
living in empty houses.
Never be seen, never get caught,
and never get to know anyone.
You're my very first friend,
Mortimer.
I am?
In the book it said that dragons
come from deep in the earth.
I have to find that place.
I've got an idea.
[door slams closed]
I made it a while ago.
It's about caves in Borington.
For centuries,
there were mines here
with the deepest
tunnels everywhere,
deeper than anywhere else.
After the fire of 1910,
it was shut down for good.
It's a massive network of caves.
I'll go check it out.
But it's not safe!
Nobody's been there
for over 100 years.
I've got to give it a shot.
It's the only place
I'll be safe.
Can you watch him when I'm gone?
All alone?
