Dragon Tales Movie If I Made One: Car Chase: The Downfall of Samuel
by Martial Arts Master
Dragon Tales characters copyrighted by PBS, PBS Kids, Sesame Workshop, Columbia, and Tristar. I made up, however, the characters of Samuel and Hilda the witch. This is just what a Dragon Tales movie would be like if I made one, so it's written in the style of a movie script. You know, originally, I wasn't going to put a witch in this movie. However, on the night of July 15, 2003, I had this most fantastic Dragon Tales dream involving a witch, although I'll spare you the details, and it wouldn't leave my head. I decided to make up for it by involving the witch in this "movie". Anyway, Samuel and Hilda are both villains. Now, on with the Dragon Tales "movie".
***
(Action music starts to play, sounding like a cross between techno music and dance music. A car chase scene begins that could come straight out of action movie, as the teenagers, Max, and the dragons chase after Samuel and his captive Emmy.)
Samuel: (looking back) They're still after me! My secret shack had better be worth it...
Emmy: (still trying to escape through the child-locked doors) Let me out of here! You think girls are just damsels in distress, don't you? Well I'm about to show you what a girl can really do!
(Emmy punches through a window, breaking it. However, the glass cuts her hand.)
Emmy: OW! That hurts! (to the screen) Kids, don't punch through glass...it really hurts...
Samuel: It's useless anyway. I've taken this car up to 80 MPH, or miles per hour in laymen's terms. If you tried to jump out the window, you'd end up rolling many feet before stopping, during which you'd be run over by many cars.
(To throw off the teenager, Max, and the dragons, Samuel starts changing lanes without signalling, barrelling around cars as he goes faster and faster. The teenager also speeds up and drives just as recklessly. Many horns begin honking at Samuel and the teenager's recklessness.)
Teenager: (out the driver's window) Sorry, but it's an emergency!
Samuel: (out the driver's window) Sorry, but I have no choice!
Cassie: Be careful! We could crash!
Teenager: That's a risk I'm willing to take in order to stop a kidnapping!
Ord: By the way, what's your name?
Teenager: Doesn't matter what my name is. Now hang on!!!
(Samuel speeds the car up to 100 MPH and catches up to Samuel, who angrily speeds the car up to 100 MPH as well. They're now in a dead heat, neither gaining or losing distance from the other.)
Samuel: Get off of my back, you stupid kids! Arrrrrrrrrrrgh!
(Meanwhile, both drivers have been having to drive around cars all this time, and it's rather difficult at that speed, but somehow they manage.)
Teenager: Man, this guy's really determined to keep his hostage. What's his problem, anyway?
Zak: To make a long story short, revenge. Let's not talk about it anymore.
Teenager: Okay, whatever.
(Eventually, Samuel abruptly leaves the roads and turns off on a side street.)
Teenager: What in the name of bloody blue blazes?
(The teenager follows Samuel. Eventually, Samuel stops the car at a shack, and he gets out. Emmy takes this opportunity to escape out the window she broke earlier, and Samuel tries to tackle her again.)
Cassie: Oh no you don't!
(Cassie opens the door of Samuel's car and grabs Samuel's foot, causing him to trip.)
Samuel: Let go of me, you stupid pink dragon!
Teenager: You think she's a dragon? Nah, she's just a kid in a dragon costume.
Samuel: Where have you been, punk teenager? The dragons you've been travelling with are real dragons! Real, honest-to-goodness dragons! I'll show you!
(Samuel peels a scale off of Cassie, although one scale out of the many dragons have doesn't change how the skin looks at all. Samuel gives it to the teenager, who feels it.)
Teenager: This doesn't feel fake at all...but that means...
(The teenager suddenly faints.)
Wheezie: (sarcastically) Oh, thanks a lot, teenager.
Ord: Anyway, we're here to stop you from your revenge, creepazoid!
Samuel: If you dragons hadn't expelled me from Dragon Land, I wouldn't be taking my revenge!
Zak: But we weren't even around when that happened! You can't blame us!
Quetzal's voice, from off-screen: That's right.
Everyone else: Huh?! (they turn around)
(Quetzal is standing there.)
Quetzal: I came here to Earth to see if you ninos were all right. It looks like I came just in time.
Samuel: Ack! You're huge! Get the frick away from me!
(Samuel tries to run, but Quetzal sprinkles magic dust over him, immobilizing him.)
Samuel: No! No! Let me go! Let me gooooooooo!
Quetzal: I will decide your punishment later. (sprinkles magic dust over the teenager) First, I overheard the teenager's revelation, so I better make sure that when he wakes up, he doesn't remember that you're really dragons.
(Quetzal turns back to Samuel.)
Quetzal: And as for you, Samuel Nightingale, your behavior has been inexcusable. Kidnapping...what a terrible thing to do.
(Incredibly, Samuel starts sobbing.)
Samuel: All I ever wanted to do was stay in Dragon Land...you don't realize how bad we have it on Earth. We have crime here. We have starvation here. We have wars here. (turns his head to stare accusingly at Cassie, Ord, Zak, and Wheezie) You dragons have been raised in paradise! You don't realize how good you have it!
Cassie: It's not completely paradise...I was once picked on by a bully.
Emmy: And two bullies once teased me.
Samuel: Bullies? (hysterical laughter) You're worried about bullies?! On Earth, we have freakin' terrorists!
Quetzal: Well...we do have bullies, but they eventually learn their lesson...(remembering Buster and Mookie from the "Teasing is Not Pleasing" episode)...usually.
Samuel: That's exactly what I'm talking about! Bullying is the worst problem you have in Dragon Land, and even it's fixable! But on Earth, we have tons of freakin' organizations dedicated to fixing problems, and they haven't succeeded. (sobs again) All I ever wanted to do was escape Earth, and I would've been adopted by a dragon family if YOU FREAKIN' DRAGONS HADN'T EXPELLED ME!!!
Quetzal: But you deserved to be expelled.
Samuel: Why? I don't remember doing anything to deserve being expelled.
Quetzal: That is because you are too old now to remember that far back. Let me refresh your memory. You became arrogant once you were given a trial period. You became selfish, and you suffered delusions of grandeur, believing that Dragon Land was created just for your escape. Ironically, you would have succeeded in your permanent escape from Earth, had you not committed an unspeakable act.
Samuel: (suspiciously) What unspeakable act?
(Quetzal whispers something in Samuel's ear. Sorry, we still don't hear what exactly it was.)
Samuel: So? I remember now, she asked for it! She was too pretty to be left alone!
Quetzal: Nobody asks for such a thing to happen to them. (narrows eyes) And now, I have decided on your punishment for your heinous kidnapping.
Samuel: (sarcastically) What are you gonna do, talk me to death? You can't hit me and you know it.
Quetzal: I don't plan on hitting you. You want to stay in the paradise Dragon Land forever? Fine.
(Everyone gasps.)
Zak: Quetzal, that's not a punishment! That's granting his deepest wish!
Quetzal: You didn't let me finish, Zak. Samuel will indeed get his wish...but not as Samuel Nightingale.
Samuel: (suspiciously) What are you talking about?
Quetzal: You, Samuel Nightingale, will be robbed of your identity. You will be robbed of everything that makes you who you are. You will be turned from an adult human into a baby dragon. You will make a fresh start on life. You will not remember being Samuel Nightingale. You will remember nothing from this life.
Samuel: (panicking) No! When I said I wanted to stay in Dragon Land forever, I meant as me! I'm proud of being me! I've always been Samuel Nightingale! I don't wanna be a dragon! You can't take my identity away from me!
Quetzal: I am sorry, Samuel, but it was you who expressed the idea of staying in Dragon Land in the first place. I am merely doing so in a way that punishes you. (starts chanting something in a strange language)
Samuel: Wait! No! You can't do this to me! You can't rob me of who I am! I've always been Samuel Nightingale! I don't wanna be a baby dragon and grow up as a dragon! Please no! No! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! (there is a humongous flash of light that turns the screen completely white. Then, we fade to black.)
***
(Cut to: caption: Two Weeks Later. We fade to...inside a dragon family's cave.)
Mother dragon: Samuel Nightingale looks so cute as a baby dragon.
Baby dragon: Goo goo gah gah...(plays with toys)
Father dragon: Should we tell him of his past life when he grows old enough?
Mother dragon: No, I don't think so. Quetzal said he wanted to rob him completely of who he was as punishment for his crimes, and telling him of his past life would go against that.
Father dragon: Then what name should we give this new life? This new baby dragon, who's been given a second chance at life?
Mother dragon: (beaming) We'll call him...Leumas.
Leumas: Baaaaaaaah...(keeps playing with toys, as we fade to black.)
(Credits roll...)
