Thomas: Hmmm…Yes, I see a girl…I see her…She's talking…the cards say she's saying…oh, but it's very vague…she's using words like "stalker," "obsessive," "freak," "insane," "ill," and "disappear." Does this mean anything to you, Aladdin?
The line goes dead…
Thomas: I'd say we gave Aladdin a clear image of his future today…Thank you, cards! Do we have another caller?
Crickets chirp
Awhile later

Thomas: This is your issue?
Pinocchio: Voglio essere un vero bimbo! Voglio essere un vero bimbo!
Thomas: Well, we'll just have to ask our translator about this. Pocahontas?
Pocahontas: Yes…I'll just need a minute to listen with my heart, and then I'll understand.
Pinocchio: Allora! Ma questo ci mette un pό eh!
Pocahontas: He says you're slow…He's been saying…"Daddy! Daaaddy! I wanna be a real boy! I wanna be a real boy!"
Thomas: Well, we'll just have to ask the cards about this.
Pocahontas: (Lays down cards)
Thomas: I see…I see…fire…burning wood…a funeral…a crying old man…
The line goes dead…
Thomas: Well, the line's been disconnected…damn Verizon…Well, it appears we've used up our 30 minutes of late-night TV, anyway. We'll see you next time on:
Television: Thomas knows all! Call 1- 800- GET- YOUR- FUTURE- TOLD- BY- THOMAS- EVEN- THOUGH- HE- HAS- NO- CLUE- WHAT- HE'S- DOING today! You just might find the answers you've been seeking!
A/N: Larien Calaelen and I were just watching Pocahontas. At the end of the movie, Thomas is asked "Is he gonna be alright, Thomas?" or something like that, referring to John Smith. Noticing how Thomas can be insanely stupid and didn't really have a clue what he was doing for the rest of the movie, I said, "How would he know? What is this, 'Thomas Knows All,' or something?" Then somehow this weird story surfaced. Tada!
