( crashing sounds )
Remy: This is me. I feel as if people think I annoy them, and I don't try to. There is something about humans that brings me closer, like I want more information. And yes, I am a rat. Because of this, here I am, in Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. ( Bellini comes) This is Bellini. He was born in the basement of the emporium. And yes, he sleeps with a dolly. He creates a story about Mr. Magorium's life. Before I start the story, I must show you Eric. He has many hats, and befriends animals such as squirrls and rats. And this story starts with his hat getting stuck.
Molly: Hi Eric.
Eric: Ug. My hats' stuck.
Molly: Hm. Looks like you might need a ladder.
Eric: Nah, just takes a little magic. You got some?
Molly: Eric, 1, that is seven feet atleast, and 2, I don't have magic.
Eric: 7 feet? Really?
Molly: ATLEAST. Well, gotta go.
Eric: Bye Mahony.
( Molly walks into the emporium and opens the cash register )
Molly: Good Morning ( smile ).
Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
I never been awake, I never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
A lazy day in bed, music in my head
Crazy music playing in the morning light
Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
Another sunny day, and dreamin' far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
Never been awake, I never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning light
Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic, you know
Never believe it's not so
Never believe
Remy: Now, this is....
Emile: Woah! You said I could do this part. This is something called the door of rooms.
( Molly turns the door of rooms to " House")
Mr. Magorium: Mahoney! Here already? Great! Do you like turnips?
Molly: Nobody likes turnips sir.
Mr. Magorium: Then you wouldn't like turnip pudding.
Molly: Probablly not sir.
Mr. Magorium: Drat, because I made some!
Molly: Sir, remember what we talked about last week?
Mr. Magorium: Do you mean how Eric shouldn't befriend squirrls?
Molly: No, about me finding a new job.
Mr. Magorium: That is what I said. I baked turnip pudding and I considered you becoming the emporium's owner.
Molly: Wait, I can't do that!
Mr. Magorium: Why not?
Molly: Because, you have to run it!
Mr. Magorium: That is not a good reason!
Molly: I think something more like, I don't know.
I'd be living the dream
If my life switched
With the football team
I'd be praised by my friends
If I was driving a Mercedes benz
What do I know?
What do I know oh oh
I wanna be
A rock star
A superhero
Living the dream
Doing the things that
I always wanted
I wanna see
My face on the T.V.
With my picture,
On the cover
For my friends to see
A different side of me
I'm barely five foot eight
No muscle man but I can roller skate
Not the biggest sports fan
But the band drives a mean mini van
What do I know?
What do I know oh oh
I wanna be
A rock star
A superhero
Living the dream
Doing the things that
I always wanted
I wanna see
My face on the T.V.
With my picture,
On the cover
For my friends to see
A different side of me
I know everything
Is gonna change for me
If I can make it then you'll see
That there's a different me
I won't be waiting
For my life to pass ahead of me
So I know you'll see
A different side of me
I wanna be
A rock star
A superhero
Living the dream
Doing the things that
I always wanted
I wanna be
A rock star
A superhero
Living the dream
Doing the things that
I always wanted
I wanna be
A rock star
A superhero
Living the dream
Doing the things that
I always wanted
I wanna see
My face on the T.V.
With my picture,
On the cover
But you'll never have to wonder
Cause I'm not like all the others
But my friends will see
A different side of me
A different side of me
A different side of me
A different side of me
A different side of me
Mr. Magorium: Hm. Good pianist as usual.
Molly: That isn't the point. I am stuck.
Mr. Magorium: Ooh. To my floor?
Molly: No, I mean like as a person.
Mr. Magorium: That is why I want you to run the emporium. ( step behind the curtian, come out wearing pajamas.
Molly: I can't run it. I don't have any magic in me.
Mr. Magorium: Hold it! I have an idea! I have an idea, idea. ( gives Molly a block )
Molly: It is just a big block of wood.
Mr. Magorium: Yes it is a big block of wood but now it is your block of wood.
Molly: Thanks, I was just thinking how I didn't have enough big blocks of wood.
Mr. Magorium: That accountant must be here by now.
Molly: What accountant?
Mr. Magorium: I never said accountant.
Molly: Right.
Mr. Magorium: I think it means a cross between an account and a mutant.
Molly: What accountant?
Mr. Magorium: An accountant for the emporium.
Molly: I would have guessed. So, bye sir.
Mr. Magorium: No, I am coming too.
Molly: But sir....
Mr. Magorium: What Mahoney?
Molly: You are in your pajamas.
Remy and Emile: Squeak squeak!
Molly: Are you two ready for work?
Remy and Emile: Yes maam.
( remy and emile go pretend like shopping )
Emile: Hi, just uh, shopping.
Remy: Shopping.
Emile: Hit high C Mahoney. And swig it.
We'll follow you to Mars
Or wherever you people go...
We rats are right there down below.
We’ve travelled near and far,
With swamis, geisha, thugs and czars
In planes and boats and submarines,
We’ve sailed from Liverpool to Queens.
We’re even in Qatar, or wherever you people go...
We all adore François Truffaut.
Abandon musophobia
And embrace a new utopia:
Butterflies and puppy dogs
Summer evenings, crispy frogs
Imagine if you will a world
Where women, rats
And men and children
Live in peace and
We’re even holding hands.
We’re dancing through the streets
And singing cabaret
Join with us we’ll make a Human/ratty wonderland.
We’ll help you tie your shoes
When you don’t feel like bending over
And perhaps you’ll take that trap
From out behind the pantry door
We’ll say “Bonjour” and “How’s the family”
When we pass each other on the street
And just like that we won’t be strangers anymore.
So here we go to Mars
With our stories intertwined
And although once you tried to kill us
Now we know that you won’t mind
We’ll journey through the stars
And whatever else may be...
We all hate that lousy flea...
That lousy flea...
( children clapping and laughing )
( Setting: Back at the counter )

Molly: Sure. I live on Wall Street room number 7UP.
HS Friend: Okay, I guess.
Mother: Hello. My son wants a fire engine for his birthday that squirts water and a ladder that goes up, but I can't find one in the emporium.
Molly: Well, let me check the big book. ( opens the big book ) It has everything in stock. Now E for engine or F for fire? Lets try... F. ( a fire engine pops out of the book )
Mother: What did you do?
Molly: Nothing.
Mother: You must've done something.
Molly: Nope. It's the book.
( mother leaves, Eric comes )
Eric: Can you help me get my hat?
Molly: I told you, I have no magic.
Eric: Okay, can you walk me home?
Molly: Sorry, I promised I would perform for my best friend.
Eric: You ARE my only friend.
Molly: What about Jeff?
Eric: I only knew him for a week.
Molly: I thought that camp was 7 weeks.
Eric: Well, my mom said that if I made some friends I could come back early. But it's not working out too well.
Molly: Have you tried?
Eric: No.
Molly: That is the point. Now, I gotta work on my new piece.
Eric: O.K.
Remy: So, Molly did as she was told, and practiced her new peice and performed it for her high school friend.
Molly: So, lets start this.
you, you like driving on a Sunday
you, you like taking off on Monday
you, you’re like a dream, a dream come true
i, i’m just a face you never notice
now i’m just trying to be honest
with myself, with you, with the world
you might think that i’m a fool
for falling over you
but tell me what i can do to prove to you
that it’s not so hard to do
give love a try, one more time
‘cause you know that i’m on your side
give love a try, one more time
in your eyes, when i saw them for the first time,
and that i was gonna love you for a long time
with a love so real, so right
how did it play out like a movie,
now every time its beat can move me,
and i can't get your smile off my mind...
‘cause you might think that i’m a fool
for falling over you
and tell me what i can do to prove to you
that it’s not so hard to do
give love a try, one more time
‘cause you know that i’m on your side
give love a try, one more time
one more time
HS Friend: Are you sure you don't want to perform? Because, that is an awesome song.
Molly: Aw, thanks. I'll think about it.
Remy: Across town...
Emile: Eric and his mom...
Remy: Were talking about camp.
EM: We had an agreemant that if we came home early you would make some friends.
Eric: Well, I made friends with two rats.
EM: Real friends.
Eric: I have Mahoney.
EM: NEW friends. Have you asked anyone to be your friend?
Eric: But I don't know how to start.
EM: Easy. Start by saying hi.
Remy: So, that goes into what Mr. Magorium said about a new accountant.
Emile: Remy! You are getting way into the story! Lets go back to her entering.
Remy: Fine.
Eric: Hey, I think I am getting good at jumping. I got to 1 1/2 feet!
Molly: Eric, You can't make it by the time I own this emporium.
Eric: Own?
Molly: It's fine. But come on. I want you to come into my shift with me.
Eric: Why?
Molly: Just come on.
Eric: Okay.
( Eric and Mahoney go to Molly's shift and Henry comes in )
Molly: Oh, hi!
Eric: Hi.
Henry: Hey there, um, Mr. Magorium sent me. He said we will have a meeting.
Eric: Do you know about this Molly?
Molly: Yep. That's why I wanted you.
Henry: Okay, lets go.
( Molly turns the Door of Rooms and turns it to house )
Henry: Uh, the door of rooms?
Molly: Yeah.
Henry: Isn't this just a toy store? And don't you say you don't have magic?
Molly: The store is magical, I'm not.
Henry: No, it's not magical. How about amazing?
Molly: Magical.
Henry: Cool?
Molly: Magical.
Henry: How about really really cool?
Eric: No, magical.
Mr. Magorium: Hello accountant, Mahoney, Eric.
Henry, Molly and Eric: Hey.
( all four sit down )
Mr. Magorium: Alright. First order of buisness, Eric?
Eric: Yes sir?
Mr. Magorium: Ingenious hat.
Eric: Thank you sir.
Mr. Magorium: Second order of buisness, Mahoney, I am giving you the emporium.
Molly: Sir, I told you I can't run the emporium because I don't have magic.
Mr. Magorium: You have to. I am leaving.
Molly: The store?
Eric: Mahoney, I think he means he is going to heaven.
Henry: Yes Molly, you have to run the emporium.
Molly: No I can't!
Mr. Magorium: Order! Order! ( squeaking sounds ) Accountant is right. Eric is right. I am going to heaven. I have been running the store for 113 years. That is a very long time Mahoney.
Molly: Yes it is sir.
Mr. Magorium: It is almost 114 years. But I have been making toys since 1770s.
Henry: That would make you atleast 200 years old.
Mr. Magorium: Yes it would. Look over there. Those are doodles I never framed. I want you to frame them.
Molly: I understand sir.
Mr. Magorium: Good.
Remy: Um, sir. Down here. What will we do?
Mr. Magorium: You will keep your job as entertainers.
Remy: And so, later on that evening....
Mr. Magorium: Who are you talking to? Hi!
Emile: Molly kept thinking about owning the emporium.
Molly: Why? Why? Why not Eric? I just wanna scream to solve my problems.
The day door is closed,
The echo's fill your soul.
They wont say which way to go,
Just trust your heart.
To find what you're here for,
Open another door.
I'm not sure anymore.
It's just so hard.
The voices in my head,
Tell me they know best!
Got me on the edge,
they're pushin', pushin',
they're pushin'
I know they got a plan,
While the balls in my hands!
This time its man-to-man,
I'm droppin', fightin', its time too.
Whole worlds upside down,its spining faster
What do I do now? Cause I choke!
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I'm kickin' down the walls.
I gotta make 'em fall!
Just break through them all!
I'm pushin', crashin', I'm gonna
Fight to find myself,
Me and no one else!
Which way I get down, searchin',
Searchin', can't find a
Road that I should take,
I should, tomorrow left us!
Like nothing works without you!
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
Yeah we're cooks, running down,
hear the crowd gettin' loud!
I'm consumed by the sound!
Is it hurt? Is it love?
can the music ever be enough?
Gotta work it out, gotta work it out!
You can do it, you can do it!
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. I want my own thing!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
Ohh! Ahh!!!!
Molly ( Mahoney ): I can't. I just can't. If he chooses to die, the emporium will shut down. I don't know what to do.
Mr. Magorium: Mahoney, I know you don't think you can do it, but you can.
Mahoney: Sir, I just don't know.
Magorium: I wil let you think, but with Henry. I am expecting visitors that need to talk with you two.
( Mr. M leaves )
Henry: Hi.
Molly: Hi. I can't decide just what to do.
Henry: I know you will do the right thing.
( Alex, Justin, Max, Stevie, Warren and T.J. come )
Molly: Who are you?
Stevie: We are a pack of wizards to show you two how to run the emporium.
Molly: How would you know?
Justin: We are wizards. We can teach you magic. Look it up.
Max: Actually, I just came to see your sale on toy trucks.
Molly: Well, I am sorry. The big book hasn't been right since the store turned gray.
Alex: Well, look at this.
Henry: What? It is just a leaf.
Justin: Now, now. It is photosyntheses even after we picked it. That is magic. Or else this would be grey too.
Warren: See, that is just it. Look at things a different.
All Wizards:
