Jackie Burroughs: The Spirit
Quotes
-
The Spirit : Well done, Nicholas. He'll be in a deep sleep only long enough for you to take over his magic show.
Nicholas : But I... I couldn't!
The Spirit : Yes, you can. You must! This is your chance to show that you are a greater magician than he. They love him for his magic, they'll love you for your's. I'll help you.
Tender Heart Bear : Nicholas! Stop! This isn't the way to make friends!
Nicholas : Who are you?
Tender Heart Bear : I'm Tender Heart. A Care Bear. Your friend.
The Spirit : Friend? Where was he when you needed him?
Tender Heart Bear : What matters is I'm here now, and Nicholas needs me the most.
[the Spirit angrily growls and blows Tender Heart away]
The Spirit : See, Nicholas? Magic can do anything you want it to.
Nicholas : Hey, neat!
Tender Heart Bear : Magic isn't the answer, Nicholas. Your feelings can help you find the true answer.
The Spirit : Don't listen to him! There are dozens of children out there waiting to see your magic.
Nicholas : They'll love me just like they did the Great Fetuccini! I know all his tricks. I'm not doing anything wrong.
Tender Heart Bear : He won't succeed! The spirit doesn't care about him, but I do!
-
Jason : Nicholas! We care about you! We used to be like you. We thought nobody cared.
Kim : But we were wrong. Now we want to be your friends, Nicholas, and make sure you're never alone again. Believe us, Nicholas! Believe us.
Nicholas : I... I believe you!
The Spirit : No! You can't! Don't do it! Stop! You don't care! They don't care!
-
Tender Heart Bear : Nicholas, what have you done?
Nicholas : Only what they did to me. They deserved it.
Tender Heart Bear : No, Nicholas. Please, listen!
The Spirit : Quick, Nicholas!
Nicholas : "Nyx... byx... styx!"
The Spirit : This is only the beginning.
Tender Heart Bear : This is a job for all the Care Bears!
-
Nicholas : There. The spell is cast. Now, everyone in town will know the loneliness they've made me feel.
The Spirit : Not quite. Look. These two children still care very much about everyone... except you.
Nicholas : But they were to fall under my spell.
The Spirit : Ah, but those soft little bears shield them from your spell with their... love and caring.
Nicholas : Ah, let them go. I'm even now.
The Spirit : Are you? What about all the others?
Nicholas : Others?
The Spirit : All the others that you have not yet cast your spells on. All the others that still care.
Nicholas : I've gotten even with the whole town. That's all I wanted.
The Spirit : The others will come after you for what you've done.
Nicholas : What should I do?
The Spirit : You must finish it! Go ahead! Say it!
Nicholas : Neebo, weebo, tick tock, reebo, zeebo, zip zap, zock! AAH!
[releases a cloud with evil eyes into the room]
The Spirit : This spell will seek out the children and bring them to us at any cost!
Nicholas : Isn't there another way?
The Spirit : No! They must be taught a lesson! A lesson for the children! A lesson for the town! A lesson for everyone!
Nicholas : What do you mean everyone?
The Spirit : Now, go!
[the cloud leaves]
Nicholas : You said a lesson. What kind of lesson?
The Spirit : Never mind that. You must now collect the ingredients for your next spell.
-
Nicholas : It's not going to work! Even the spell won't defeat them!
The Spirit : The spell was just having a little sport. The children are it's true target. Perhaps a sprinkle of toadstool mold will speed things up.
-
The Spirit : They're on their way!
Nicholas : [wakes up with a start] Ah! Here?
The Spirit : You'll be ready for them.
Nicholas : How?
The Spirit : By completing your final spell.
Nicholas : Final spell?
The Spirit : You must gather the elements quickly. When those two children arrive, they must be all that is left of caring in this world.
Nicholas : You don't mean...?
The Spirit : Yes! Everyone must be taught the lesson!
Nicholas : But...
The Spirit : Don't you see, Nicholas? It's too late to stop now! You must finish what you started! There's no turning back! Ha HA!
[the spirit and Nicholas laugh maniacally]
-
Nicholas : Who are you? How do you know my name?
The Spirit : I am a spirit, Nicholas. Your friend. I know many things... almost everything.
Nicholas : Everything?
The Spirit : I know how you can earn more friends.
Nicholas : Really? How?
The Spirit : With magic.
Nicholas : Magic?
[turns to Mr. Fettuccini]
The Spirit : Oh, not his magic tricks. I mean real magic. Magic that can make your fondest wish come true.
Nicholas : You mean you can use magic to get people to like me?
The Spirit : No, but you could. All you have to do is undo the lock.
-
[as the audience laughs at Nicholas]
Nicholas : Make them stop laughing! Make them stop!
The Spirit : Only you can do that. Here - teach them a lesson.
Nicholas : A lesson?
Kid in audience : Come on! Make us laugh!
The Spirit : One they'll never forget!
Nicholas : [reads] Simmer-sot, Ra dee tar...
Tender Heart Bear : Nicholas, no!
Nicholas : ...Tazork nee!
[There is a thunderclap. The kids in the audience instantly start brawling]
The Spirit : Now they know how you've felt all your life, without a friend in the world. Now, they feel nothing!
