MAN ON THE PHONE: Jim, listen to me,
don't let your imagination run wild.

It's a transitional period.

So you're firing me for
no real reason then?

MAN ON THE PHONE: Well, there's
a little more to it than that.

- What do you mean?
- MAN: I can't really discuss it right now.

(SCOFFS)

Why not?

What else is goin' on Roger?

ROGER ON THE PHONE: Sorry old
boy, I'm just the messenger.

Do give my best to the family.

Oh, and don't forget about Soarin'.

My boys just won't
stop talking about it.

They say you actually
feel like you're flying.

Sounds lovely... Well...



Hey wait Roger, please!

not be so nice to them.

Not make me look
like the bad person.

What about him?

Elliot, apologize to your father.

No!

What? Did you hear that?

I don't know what's into him.
He's acting a little strange today.

He's just a little
different, that's all.

Um, who were you talking
to on the balcony?

What?

Yeah, who were you talking to?

Nobody, I wasn't talking to anybody.
So, you're lips were moving?

What are you, a lip reader now?

Yes I am.

But it was a little weird.
Tell me what's going on.

Honey, it was no one.

Look, I wanna have one final
decent last day here, okay?

That's all I ask, alright?

Okay.

Alright. It's our last day.

They're pretty, huh?

Well, yeah, pretty? It depends

Well then, there you go.
That's your definition.

Is Mommy pretty?

You're mother?
Yeah, she's beautiful.

I mean not in a classical... sense.

But more in a...
Emily Dickinson... kind of...

bookish... Tina Fey kind of thing.

Yeah, but she's beautiful, yeah.

Oh there's Mommy. There she is.

What's wrong baby? What's wrong?

Jim, we've been waiting
for you for over an hour.

- I am so sorry, 'Em...
- Why didn't you answer your phone?

I'm sorry 'Em.

Is this vomit?

I threw up.

Oh, sweetie...

What happened?

Dad made me go on Space Mountain.

I didn't make him go.

You took him on Space Mountain?!

What's wrong with you?

Did you black out again?

He could barely
handle the tea cups!

You didn't think Space
Mountain would freak him out?

Thanks. Thanks so much.

Did she eat?

No, she did not.

- Well why not?
- I don't know.

Why don't you ask her?

Why didn't you eat, baby?

Come on, let's go.

Wait, wait, 'Em, what?

You wanna go lie down with Mommy?

I don't wanna go, I wanna
stay here with you.

Fine, fine.

Alright fine.
I'll stay here with her.

Okay, fine.

Wait wait wait, 'Em... 'Em.

What?

Alright. Feel better, little man.

Come on Elliot, let's go.
We're gonna go lie down.

Feel better, honey!

I'll see you back at the hotel.

(CHILDREN SINGING)

Hey, hey, come here.

I've seen enough of this

Do some other fun stuff.

Excuse me.

Wooh.
(LAUGHS)

Wow. Here we are on a new island.

(BELL RINGS)
Come on!

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Whoa, Jesus Christ.

I'll be right there, sweetie.

Where are we going?

Whoa, are we serious?

Can we go down there? Alright.

This is cool!

Ouch.

I think I'm too fat
for this cave, honey.

I smashed my head.

Sweetie wait, Sara.

Not so fast, not so fast.

Sara?

Honey?

Honey.

Honey, where did you go?

Honey?

Okay, Sara, it's not funny.

Sara?

(BELL RINGING)

It hurts.

Sara!

Sara. Is that your name?

There you are.

He pushed me.

(LAUGHS)

See, they kind of...
bumped into each other.

Tell your kid to watch where
he's going next time.

Come on, honey, let's go.

Are you having lots
and lots of fun?

Uh-huh. I went on Snow White
and wasn't afraid of the witch

'cause... she was just pretend.

Wow. You're a big girl, huh?

Uh-huh.

There you go.

Good as new.

How's she doin' otherwise?

Good.

No coughing or flu-like symptoms?

No.

And you?

Me?

I take vitamin C.

Everyone's so worried
about cat flu, now.

Children are most at risk so
we have to be extra careful.

Mommies and daddies, too.

You could be a host
and not even know it.

Lolly?

How 'bout one for Dad?

Um... sure, thanks.

Okay, better get goin'.

Come on, sweetie.

- Thanks again.
- Mm-hmm.

Be careful out there.

(CRYING)

This one's a little
hotter, it's about 2,350.

That's gonna be our base, I'll
show you how fast this goes.

(CHATTER)

You think that's good?

Turkey leg?

- That's gonna be eight dollars.
- Thank you.

(GIGGLING)

Come back! Stop!

(GIGGLING)

That's not turkey, you know.

Hmm?

What you're eating.
It's not turkey.

No?

Well if it's not turkey,
then what is it?

You really wanna know?

Well...

Now you have to tell me.

Emu.

What?

Emu.

Emu?

It's a bird.

Well, uh... why don't
they just call it that?

Well, would you really
buy it if they did?

No, I guess not.

Which one's yours?

Oh... over there.

She's beautiful.

Thanks.

No, I mean, she's lovely.
A real princess.

Looks like they're friends already.

Hmm?

Oh, the boy, he's mine.

Yeah?

Yeah.

- Hmm.
- Oh!

- I have a little...
- Here.

Thanks.

(SQUEALS)
It's humid today.

I don't really mind it, though.

(COUGHS)

Oh, thank you.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Has she met all the princesses yet?

- She has indeed.
- (LAUGHS)

Don't you think it's strange?
The princesses?

Pretending to be someone else,
hugging all these kids.

Um... yeah, I guess.

I wonder what age we
stop wanting to do that.

Hug a perfect stranger.

I suppose they aren't really
strangers now, are they?

Everything alright?

What?

Oh, I'm sorry, I...

Oh, your necklace...
you're necklace.

I meant your necklace, sorry.

(LAUGHS)
You like it?

Yeah, it's uh...

It's um...

It's what?

I dunno, there's just...
something about it though...

It's an heirloom from another time.

Yeah... wow...

Ow.

(MOANING)

Fuck me. Feel my vagina.

- What the... wait a minute...

I think you found my hidden
Mickey! Hysterectomy.

Huh?

Sorry, I...

- Shhh!

You'll wake the kids!

Sara?

Oh here, let me help you.

Oh, you like that, don't you?

- Oh!

(MOANING AND SQUEALING)

Ooooh! You're incredible!

(GIGGLES)

Can you believe it?

They call this the presidential
suite. What a joke.

(GASPS)
Ooooh.

You're welcome to stay a while.

My husband won't be
back 'til later.

No, I think I'd better be going...

Fuck.

You know the princesses?

They're high-priced courtesans.

What?

Rich Asian businessmen now pay
thousands for one in costume.

You don't believe me?

You're right.

I'm joking.

Well, uh...

It was, um...

- It was nice meeting you.
- Yeah.

A real blast, wasn't it?

Hi Mommy!

Oh! My goodness, Sara, is that you?

Uh-huh!

Oh, good.

(LAUGHTER)

Good.

Hey guys!

- Daddy!
- Hi.

- Hey.
- How'd you find us?

Oh, it was Sara, actually.

She noticed your suits were gone.

Oh! So smart!

Yeah, it's crazy here today.

I know, tell me about it.
This place is a mad house!

Yeah, someone's looking
like they're better.

Feeling better, huh?

Yeah! We had a nap,
watched a movie.

How was the park?

It was uh... It was good.

That's it? Just good?

Yeah.

Oh I got you something. Hold on.

Is this the, uh...
Yeah, it's the one you wanted.

Oh...

What?

- Dumbo, Jim?
- What's the matter?

You got me Dumbo?

Isn't that the one you wanted?

Minnie Mouse, Jim. I said I wanted...
You know what? Never mind.

- Hold it.
- What?

Is she wearing sunscreen?

What's the matter?
You mean from this morning?

No, Jesus, Jim. You have
to reapply the sunblock

before they go swimming.

Sorry... I'm sorry.

Watch Elliot.

What happened to your knee?

A boy pushed me.

Oh! That's not very nice.

- Yeah, he was mean.

How long?

That was super long.

That was super duper long!

Ten minutes?

Epcot and see the fireworks.

We gotta change and get ready.
Why'd you put sunscreen on her, then?

(DRAMATIC CLASSICAL MUSIC)

Wow. It's a giant testicle.

I don't like Epcot.

- Elliot, look...

- If you mention Buzz Lightyear one more time...
- Jim!

Your father's not feeling well.

Hey, you don't tell him that.

Well, how about a
little consideration?

- I want a balloon.
- She wants a balloon.

Maybe later, sweetie.
(WHINES)

Okay, fine. Why don't we all
just go back to the hotel, okay?

Is that what everyone wants?
That sound good?

- Hey, hey!
- What?

- Over there.
- What?

That guy. That fat
guy on the scooter.

His kid pushed down Sara.

What the hell are they doing here?

I don't know. They probably just
came to watch the fireworks.

- What's the big deal?
- Shit!

Don't swear in front
of the children!

- What?
- Why are you acting so paranoid?

- I'm not acting paranoid.
- Yes, you are! You're acting strange!

- Don't touch me!

- People are watching.
- Had the sudden urge to learn French?!

Don't give me that look.
I saw you at the pool.

I'm not a total idiot.

You've probably been following
them all day, haven't you?

Following who?

Who was on the phone this morning?

- What?!
- Who were you talking to?

I lost my job.

Elliot, Sara! Come on, we're going.

Emily, wait!

- Can I get this?
- No. No one's getting anything.

Put it back. Elliot, you too.
Wait, 'Em. What about the fireworks?

I've seen enough for one day.
This vacation's over.

- How 'bout just this?
- No.

Elliot, you wanna go
on Spaceship Earth?

- Elliot, what's wrong?
- He doesn't trust you.

- Not that I blame him.
- That boy has one!

I don't care.

Hey, Sara. Lemme take Sara.

- No, you're drunk.
- No, I'm not.

- But I really want it!
- Goddammit Sara! I said put it back!

No!
God!

Oh my God.

Just... just take her.

It's okay, honey.
Mommy didn't mean that.

Mommy didn't mean that,
sweetie... it's okay.

Don't cry baby. It's all right.

Mommy didn't mean that.
It's okay.

She didn't... She doesn't
usually act like that.

Come on.

(INTERNAL DIALOGUE) Mommy
didn't mean to do that, honey.

She's didn't mean to do that.
She just got angry, okay?

Look at me. There you go.

(HYDRAULICS WHOOSHING)

(SOARING INSTRUMENTAL)

Jim. Where are you, Jim?

I've been waiting for you.

I have something to tell you, Jim.

Soon, Jim. You'll be mine.

You'll be all mine.

(LAUGHING)

(FIREWORKS EXPLODING)

(GIRLS SPEAKING FRENCH)

(LOUD EXPLOSION)

(PANICKED SCREAMING)

Holy crap!

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Come with us.

You speak English?

Please... come.

No.

You won't?

I can't.

Why not?

Well, I'm afraid that
if I come with you...

something bad is gonna happen.

But if you don't, something will.

No, I'm sorry.

You must come.

No, I... No.

You are sure of this?

Yeah.

Then, I am sorry too.

For what?

(DROPS HITTING FACE)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Sara. Sara?

Sara!

Sara!

Hey!

- Hey!
- Jim White?

Yeah?

What are you doing?

(ELECTRICITY BUZZING)

(BEEPING)

(AUTOMATIC DOORS OPEN AND SHUTTING)

(BEEPING)

Your father took you
here as a child.

- Am I correct?
- Huh?

That must have been right around
the time this park opened?

Interesting.

Where am I? Where's Sara?

Consider yourself very
fortunate, Mr. White.

No outsider has ever been where you are.
That makes you the first.

The first?

Yes, and right now you're under
the ride Spaceship Earth.

What we call Base 21.

- I'm still at Epcot?
- But where else?

Oh, I must apologize for those.

But, you see, I had no idea what
sort of condition you'd be in.

It's been so long.

Who are you?
(GLASS CLATTERING)

Consider me a friend.

You work for D
(BLEEP) ny?

No, and fortunately for you, they
are unaware of my existence.

Unless, of course, the French take...
Oh, they are the most dangerous.

You see, I am a servant of
the Siemens Corporation.

What?!

Siemens.

The enterprise which
sponsors this attraction.

(ALARM BEEPING)

Computer, begin the scan.

(SCREAMING)

You've got quite an imagination!

Just like old W himself.

He died...

while all this was still
in its early stages.

Epcot's real purpose
remains unfinished.

(VOICE DISTORTED)
You're inside my head!

Not your head, Jim.
In your imagination.

But we don't want to
control it like they do.

We simply monitor things,

so we can know what they're
up to and keep tabs.

(DISTORTED VOICE)
Who is that?

That's you.

What?!

Only that's the real you,

in a part of your imagination
you've never sought to use.

Turn it off, please! Please!

Somethings not right.

Didn't your boss relay the
message when you spoke to him?

My boss? What are
you talking about?

He was instructed to remind you...

you were to take the boy.

And Security was to meet you, after
the ride, at the Land Pavilion.

Do you know how much
depends on this?!

We even had to shut down
the Buzz Lightyear!

Excuse me for a moment.

(DOORS WHOOSHING)

Geosporic.

MAN ON MONITOR:
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's over there.

(LIQUID SPURTING)

(POPPING SOUNDS)

Jim?

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

Holy crap!

You're a robot.

(VOICE DISTORTED)
I was trying to help you...

(ALARM BLARING)

(GRUNTING AND STRAINING)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

- Yeah?
- Jim, listen to me.

- Don't let your imagination run wild.
- What did you do with her?!

It's a transitional period.

Just tell me where she is!

I can't really discuss
it right now.

Come on, you son of a bitch!
Sorry old boy. I'm just a messenger.

Where are you?! Goddammit you!

- Best of luck!
- Wait, no!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(FIREWORKS EXPLODING)

Sorry. Sorry.

Sara?

(SARA'S VOICE ECHOING)
Run faster.

Sara, is that you?!

Sweetie, honey, where are you?

SARA: You can't get me.

Sara?

(SARA LAUGHING)

SARA: Over here!

Jim!

(JIM YELLING INCOHERENTLY)

Get off my dad! Someone help!

What's wrong with you Mr.?!

You made me... drop my turkey leg!

- It's emu!
- Huh?

Oh Christ.

Sara, thank God.

Huh?

Okay, we're almost ready!

Where is she?

What's going on?

How did you get in here?

- Why are you dressed like that?
- What do you mean?

- You took her didn't you?
- Benji, come here!

Sorry, I really have no idea
what you're talking about.

If you even touched her!

Okay, now you're starting to scare me.
I think you should leave before...

- Before what?
- Before my husband gets back.

Husband?!

- You're not even married, are you?
- Get out!

- What's in the bedroom?
- I'm warning you!

Sara.

Oh, God!

(SARA GIGGLES)

You're okay?

Hi, Daddy.

- That was fun!
- Fun?

Un-huh. Can we do it again?

- Again?!
- Sorry, sweetie.

I don't think your dad
would like it too much.

But I'm Still thirsty!

- Did she give you something?
- Relax, it's just sparkling apple juice.

It's just pretend.

Are you out of your mind?

- You don't just take someone's kid.
- I always bring them back.

- Bring them back?
- Some people don't even notice.

Jesus Christ.

Wait! Jim, wait!

Have you even seen
someone decapitated?

- What?
- It's not like in the movies.

That's a pretty dress.

It happens here, occasionally.

Last time on Thunder Mountain.

I can't feel my teeth.

People just come here 'cos
they wanna feel safe.

They're afraid!

But you can't escape it, you know.

Bad things happen everywhere.

Especially here.

- You're a witch.
- No!

I'm a princess. Or at
least, I used to be.

Happy day all of you! I love you!

I'm so happy to be here with you!

My beautiful princes
and princesses!

Hello, Princess Minnie,
you beautiful angel.

Keep smiling.

Another beautiful princess.
Hello darling.

I used to be one of
them a long time ago.

Back when I was young
and beautiful.

And it was magical.

'Til one day I saw
this little girl.

She was so perfect,
like your daughter.

Like Sara?

So I wrapped my arms around her.

But then something happened.

When you're a princess,
they teach you to smile.

Be cheery, merry, jovial.
And you can never be sad.

Never ever!

Then something happened.
I couldn't let go.

Help! I can't breathe!
(NECK BREAKS)

Oh no, princesses must never cry!

Hey, what are you doing
to my daughter?!

- Let go of her!
- Stop it!

Hey, what's wrong with you?
Let her go!

But you can't be
happy all the time.

It's just not possible.

And you know smiling's not
good... for the wrinkles.

And I hate happy endings.

Hate's a bad word!

(GLASS SHATTERING)
That's mine!

You're sick, you know that?!

Haven't you ever had
a fantasy, Jim?

Daddy, let's go home.

Thank you for playing
with me, Sara.

You're a very sweet little girl.

- Like a princess?
- Yes, darling... wait!

Your balloon!

- You don't want to forget it.
- Look daddy!

Goodbye, Jim!

Aaah!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GROANING)

(TOILET FLUSHING)

(HEAVING)

What?

(COUGHING)

Everyone's so worried
about cat flu now.

You can be a host and
not even know it.

Cat flu...

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Vitamin C...

Vitamin C.

Vitamin C...

(GRUNTING)

Ugh.

(DOOR SQUEAKS)

Elliot.

I'm sick.

I need help.

Help.

Elliot.

(DUCKS QUACKING)

(MELANCHOLY MUSIC)

(LAUGHS)
You've got quite an imagination!

Just like old W himself.

He died while all this was
still in its early stages.

Ah. Ah!

How much time?

We're on the floor now.
