Look at the giant fangs on that thing!
The toothy cow,
It uses its long tail to distract its prey
before pouncing! -[angry mooing]
Yeah,
Its toothiness is hideous, and most dreadfully deadly,
And its bulbous eyes disorient hapless travelers
with its crazed and malicious gleam!

Malicious gleam?
Does that mean you can eat it?
Yuck!
[angry mooing] [wham]
We could be stuck up here

Everyone excited for the festival tomorrow?
Dragon Day!
I can\'t wait for the sacky-tack races!
And handyball!
I can\'t wait to hear the dragons sing,
Their songs make me feel so,,,
Dragon songs fill people with many feelings, sweetie,
Lot of hubbub over nothing,
Dragon Day is,,, -[pounding on the door]
[family quiets]
Janner, did you return it like I asked?
Well, I meant to,
S\'alright, lad,

Apologies, masters,

I\'d love to slap shacks on ya,
but then Slarby\'d have to drag that belly back to jail,
He\'s a real plumper, alright,
You lose tool borry privileges fer a month,
Anotha vi-OH-lation and it\'s the black carriage fer ya,

[Tink] I\'m faster than Rand Blaggus now,
I bet that I\'ll win the blue ribbon tomorrow
in the hop-hop-squat-hop- run race!
[Janner] I wonder what weird creatures the menagerie-master
will have this year?
Maybe he\'ll have baby snickbuzzards!
[Tink] And after I win,
I\'m gonna eat a whole gumpkin pie,
[Janner] You do remember
there\'s a limit to sweets, right?
Not on Dragon Day, there isn\'t,
We can do whatever we want!
Not \'whatever\', Kalmar,
Here are your outfits,
Mom!
I can\'t even run in those!
Please not the vest!
Everyone dresses up for Dragon Day,
[Janner] I like the vests,
[Tink] You just want SaraCobbler
to see you looking all fancy,
[Janner] [unconvincing] Oh, will she be there?
Dragon Day may be a day
when folks try to forget about Fangs,
But it doesn\'t mean the Fangs forget about us,
Have fun, but no shenanigans, hmm,
[kiss]
Remember, you\'re responsible for Leeli and Tink tomorrow,
I know,
Can\'t I ever have a Dragon Day just to myself?
Heh, Someday,
But then, maybe you\'ll miss it,
[kiss]
Goodnight, boys,
[floorboards squeaking]
[flies buzzing]
First thing I\'m getting is blueberry gooeyballs,
Lots of \'em,
Maybe they’ll have plumyum fluffins again,
First thing we\'ll do
is return these to Books & Crannies,
I\'m not lugging them around all day,
Right cuz you really need more practice returning things,
Like, garden hoes?
Tink, Don\'t pester,
Does it have to be next to me?
We\'ll all be smelling it,
What are the rules when you\'re in town?
[Janner/Tink/Leeli] [rote unison] Stick together,
be polite, when Fangs are mad, stay out of sight,
Now can we go?
Yes, we can go,

[Nia] I mixed in a few more rat tails than last time,
and I dusted the spider eggs with hogpig dandruff,
Your squirmies got the most plumpery pop,
If you wasn\'t a people, I\'d almost like you,
Next!
C\'mon, let\'s go, let\'s go!
I\'ve got business at the Gunkle\'s,
I\'ll find you later on the Green,
[giggles] Good luck keeping an eye on your brother,
[Janner] Tink!
[door opens and front bell rings]
Oh! Hey, Sara,
Oh! Happy Dragon Day!
Ooh, I like your vest, Janner,
And I like your flowers, Leeli,
Oh, Thanks,
Do you want one?
How does it look?
I think it looks beautiful,
Don\'t you?
Um, great,
It looks great,
Uh, volume Thirteen!
-You got it! -Have your read it?
[Janner] No, I heard it has Fire Ivy in it, though,
[Sara] I just got to that chapter!
[Janner] Did you know Dragonmoles can eat it?
[Sara] It doesn\'t burn them?
[Janner] It\'s in Pembrick\'s Creaturepedia,
Janner memorized the whole book!
I\'ll have to read that,
Can we pleeeease go?
Anyway,
Have fun at Dragon Day,
You too!
Whoa,
[lutist performs The Ballad of Lanric & Rube]
[straining liquid]
[whoosh]
Singed Viver for the gentleman,
Ooo, I say!
Choonchie! [slurps]
So, Shaggy,
What\'s the news?
News?
Well, it\'s our ninth Dragon Day
under the slimy boots of these Fangs,
and I\'m feeling it,
In my creaky knees, mostly,
Barely rolled out of bed this morning!
I meant news from the world,
Oh, I\'ve heard things, Podo,
Dark things,
Dark, how?
Dark like ships with black sails,
going into the Phoob Islands,
Dark like trolls on the move, in the Linnard Woodlands,
Heading north,
Rumor is, Black Carriage
took three children in Dugtown last month,
They\'re taking children now?
When does this nightmare end?
[sighs] No one can fight the fangs,
No one can, or no one will?
Well,,, I mean--
It ends when someone finds the spine
to do somethin\' about it,
That\'s when,
And where\'s your spine, old timer?
[grunts] Keeping me upright,

[Zouzab munching]
Oh, Kid-Igibys, [smack of books on bookshelf]
Ever so polite, [smack of books on bookshelf]
And generous,,,
Wanna race?
[laughing]
[Oskar] Ah, Janner, my boy!
As the great poet and not-so-great circus performer
Adderley Flameswallow said "I could maybe use some help,"
Oh, Well, I can come back tomorrow,
We\'re kind of in a hurry to get to Dragon Day--
Dragon Day!
Exactly!
I\'m putting these books in the window
to sell to festival-goers,
All of them about sea dragons,
Do any of them say why dragon song
makes some people act so,,,
Odd? Silly? Discombobulated?
[Janner] Oh yeah,
Mayor Blaggus couldn\'t stop crying for a week!
Oh, not only that,
He was so deeply moved by the song
he promised to never again pick his nose in public,
[laughing]
I\'m pretty sure that didn\'t work,
He made it almost five minutes,
[both chuckle]
Sadly, the mysteries of dragon song
have never been fully explained,
Ah, now here\'s a rare copy
of a masterwork by Dimble the Chomped,
In it he catalogs more than 720
distinct odors present in dragon breath,
Burnt pudding, troll wax, thwap burps,
Why is he called Dimble the Chomped?
My boy, consider the necessary proximity
of Dimble\'s nose
[Tink panting]
to the subjects of his research,
and let your imagination work it out,
-[gasping] -[big crash]
[trumpets blaring]
The games are starting!
-Come on! -Come on!
We\'re missing Dragon Day,
I\'m coming!
I\'ll see you soon, Mr, Reteep!
Ah, well, here we have
Spawly Tortnouse\'s
1001 Things I Was Surprised to See a Dragon Eat,
I believe Dimble the Chomped was number 411,
Oh, Well,

We are truly indebted to our brave and magnanimous hosts,
whose presence here is ever,,, present,
[groans]
I would particularly like to acknowledge
Commander Gnorm,
Where is he?
[massive, rumbling belch]
[Mayor Blaggus] There he is,
Thank you for your generosity in allowing us this one day
of gladish celebration
and remembrance of our storied history,
up to and including our liberation at the hands,,,
er,,,claws,
of the Fangs whose guidance and order
have forever changed our lives
into something so very, very different
from what they once were,
[awkward silence]
[growls]
Well, anyway,
May I present, a favorite of towns near and far,
the one and only,
Armulyn the Bard,
[crowd claps]
My, don\'t you all look beautiful!
Well, most of you anyway,
Fangs are ugly,
[Mayor Blaggus] Well,,, I,

Oh, Polly,
I heard the Carriage took your husband,
Why are you here?
I brought you a warm quilt
and a fresh loaf of butter bread,
Bread,,?
Polly, it\'s wrong that they took Tom,
This shouldn\'t happen,
I want you to know that you\'re not alone,
[door closes and locks]
[whistleharp music]
[Tink sighs, bored]
[Jebb Blaggus] Tink!!
Look what we got--
Sparkpowder!
We got enough to set off a pop rocket!
Whoa,,,
[Jebb Blaggus] Come on!
Hey Tink,
Gimme another bite of that berrybun,,,
Leeli, stay here till I get back!
[Janner] TINK!!!
[groans]
You can\'t just run off!
They\'ve got a pop rocket!
Really?
Ugh, but we can\'t do anything to get in trouble,
[laughing] Then let\'s not get caught,
That\'s not what I meant,
When you ran off, I had to leave Leeli alone,
listening to the songs,
What songs?
Leeli?!
[both together] Leeli!!
[hushed conversation]
Hello, little princess,
Hi, I liked your song,
Why, thank you,
I like your dog,
[happily yelps]
It made me want to laugh and sing
and cry all at the same time,
Well, there can be a kind of magic in music,
[scoffs] I don\'t think there\'s any magic in my music,
What\'s your secret?
It\'s like that sometimes for me, too,
Other times, something happens,
something I can\'t explain,
Some songs can make you homesick,
even when you\'re right at home, [poprocket sizzle]
[poprocket explodes]
[furious barking]
No, Nugget!
[giggles] I\'m so sorry,
Well, till we meet again, then,
[kite sizzles]
Papa!
[Podo] Hmm?
Have you seen the children?
I\'m sure Janner\'s got them,
Hmm, I\'m going to check Dunn\'s Green,
[Podo] Aye, That\'s surely where they\'ll be,
Me, I\'m gettin\' home
before I hafta listen to them dragons sing,
[panting]
Where did she go?

Iggibys-Piggibys,
I\'m tossin\' \'em to the dragons,
Try it, and Gnorm\'ll flay your scales before moonrise,
Gnorm don\'t give a rockroach poop
about any snot-drippers,
Except that the Igiby m\'am bakes the best maggotloaf
in Glipwood,
[chewing maggotloaf]
You come between that maggotloaf and Gnorm\'s gut,
an\' he\'ll snap your fangs off and feed \'em to ya,
[Vop hisses]
Now look at you, private,

Are you hurt?

We fought a Fang,
Oh, we\'re in so much trouble!

Hey, look!

[Leeli] Sea dragons,,,
[water splashes]
We have to get out of sight,
Now,

I\'m sorry,
I didn\'t know what else to do,
You can\'t be two places at once,
You defended your sister,
And all three of ye are home safe,
Tonight, that\'s all that matters,
What is it?
I heard them, Grandpa,
I heard a dragon,,, speaking,
I understood the words,
How?
Speaking, eh?
Hmmph,
Come on,
Let\'s get to work,
[lantern squeaks]

The sea dragons will be gone south tomorrow,
We lie low for a few days
