00:29 If thou wilt cut off the heads of thy two children and besmear me with their blood,
00:37 I shall receive life again.
00:42 Besmear me? That's disgusting.
00:45 Fairy tales?
00:54 Weak, Chris. Very weak.
00:57 Weak? Have you ever read these things?
01:01 Not the wimpy versions. The original ones.
01:04 Ah, no. Can't say I have.
01:06 I have. They're full of stabbings and demons and man-eating animals and cutting off limbs and whatnot.
01:15 Cool stuff.
01:17 My favorites, the one where the old woman kidnaps the prince and puts blood on the queen's mouth while she sleeps to make the king think she ate him.
01:30 That's so gross. I love it.
01:33 I'm not buying it. A kitty story is a kitty story, no matter how you cut it.
01:38 Oh, man. You're not going to tell some tired old fairy tale, are you?
01:42 Not exactly. The story I'm going to tell is about a girl who loved fairy tales.
01:49 She had a huge collection. She knew most of them by heart.
01:54 The trouble was, she spent so much time thinking about the world of make-believe
02:00 that she started to forget the difference between reality and imagination.
02:07 And when you do that, a fairy tale can soon become a scary tale.
02:17 Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this story...
02:36 "Tale of the Final Wish."
02:39 Go ahead, my dear. Have a taste.
02:47 Such a pretty apple.
02:51 You must take a bite.
02:54 Or if you don't, I'll have to...
02:58 ...push you to eat it!
03:01 [laughing]
03:05 [breathing heavily]

03:24 [music playing]
03:27 [music playing]
03:56 You've got to grow up, Jill.
04:22 This is stupid. There's nothing under there.
04:26 [screaming]
04:30 Mom, Dad, the bed! There's something there!
04:34 - What? - Something under the bed! It grabbed me!
04:37 - Oh, Jill, not again! - I swear, it grabbed me!
04:41 - Honey, it was a dream! - No, it wasn't!
04:46 [groaning]
04:49 I sat on the bed and these green, nasty-looking, scaly hands reached out and tried to pull me under.
04:58 I'm not kidding! Look!
05:02 [groaning]
05:15 Mmm! Didn't we have this last week?
05:19 Don't make fun of me.
05:23 - What's going on? - Nothing. Jill had a nightmare.
05:27 It wasn't a nightmare. There was something under there.
05:30 Jill, we all have nightmares. You just can't take them so seriously.
05:35 Go back to bed.
05:42 - Gotcha. - It was you? Mom!
05:47 Come on, don't be such a snitch.
05:52 I hate you! Why did you do that?
05:57 I thought you wanted to find something under the bed. You're always looking.
06:01 - Why didn't you just grow up? - Me?
06:04 You're the one who's still living in a fairyland, princess.
06:07 You're 14 years old. Listen to the radio. Go to a concert or something.
06:12 Stop being a kid and maybe you won't be scared of boogeymen under the bed anymore.
06:17 Sweet dreams.
06:22 Jill, come on!
06:29 Gonna miss the bus.
06:32 Jill! Don't do this again!
06:35 I'm coming!
06:37 Jill was having a rough time.
06:40 Everyone kept telling her to grow up and act your age.
06:44 But she didn't know how to grow up any faster.
06:47 And she wasn't exactly sure how kids her age were supposed to act.
06:51 Yuck! I can't wait. Adios!
06:55 - Jill, I am not gonna call you again! - I'm late!
06:59 - Why does she always do this? - I don't know.
07:01 But if she misses the bus again, it's your turn to drive her.
07:04 - But... - Bye.
07:07 Jill, I am not gonna be late for work!
07:11 I'm coming!
07:21 - Sorry. - Why do you do this?
07:27 All I ask is that you get up and out on time.
07:30 Now I'm gonna have to drive you to school, and I'm gonna be late for work. Again.
07:34 I told you I'm sorry.
07:37 Don't ignore me!
07:39 You are gonna have to learn some responsibility, miss.
07:42 Other people live in this house, and we're getting tired of putting up with your childishness.
07:47 Come on.
07:52 (HORN HONKING)
07:55 Jill kind of understood why her family was giving her grief.
08:05 But her friends weren't helping much either.
08:20 He's so fine.
08:23 I'd talk to him, but I'd probably drool or something.
08:27 Aren't you guys being kind of obvious?
08:34 We're just looking.
08:36 Yeah, like a couple silly gooses.
08:40 Silly gooses? My grandmother says that.
08:47 Did you see that?
08:50 He checked her out. Did he check her out?
08:53 No way. He wouldn't check out a geek.
08:57 Look at this.
09:00 Grimm's fairy tales. Mother Goose.
09:04 The Sandman and other tales.
09:07 What is with her? Is she like a baby or something?
09:12 Talk about us. We saw you flirt with him.
09:16 I didn't. I had to sharpen my pencil.
09:19 Yeah, right.
09:22 He's coming. He's coming.
09:26 Hey, Jill. Hi.
09:29 You have that reading assignment Kelly gave us yesterday? I lost it someplace.
09:33 Sure.
09:40 This is what you're supposed to read?
09:43 Hey. These are really interesting.
09:46 Are you reading these?
09:48 Yeah. No. I have to do a book report.
09:52 On what? Humpty Dumpty?
09:55 Hey, trolls. I used to play with these when I was a kid.
09:58 Jill plays with them now.
10:01 Get out of here, will you?
10:04 Hey, Jill. You forgot your doll.
10:10 Jill knew she was being kind of childish.
10:13 But there was something inside her that didn't want to give up the world of fairy tales.
10:18 Because in all those stories, no matter how bad things got,
10:22 everyone always lived happily ever after.
10:25 And the princess always got the prince.
10:29 I've come to awaken you, Sleeping Beauty.
10:36 Sleeping Beauty?
10:39 Oh, Jill. It's me.
10:44 Why did you do that?
10:46 I got this for Halloween, and I just wanted to show you.
10:49 You did not. You wanted to scare me again.
10:52 No, really. I didn't mean to. Yes, you did. I hate you.
10:55 I hate all of you. I'm sorry.
10:58 Jeez, don't get so bent out of shape. Get out of here. Leave me alone.
11:01 I'm gonna sweat. I'm gone.
11:04 I'm sorry.
11:07 What's so wrong about wanting to live in a world where dreams come true and you can wish on a star?
11:33 I wish I could.
11:35 And I wish everybody would just leave me alone.
11:39 [Music]
11:43 [Music]
11:46 [Music]
12:15 John, that is... I'm telling!
12:18 You're gonna get it!
12:21 I'm sorry, but John is...
12:34 Mom?
12:38 [Music]
12:41 Dad?
12:48 Are you down there?
12:51 John?
13:04 Come out, will you?
13:08 You are such a slime.
13:11 If you think that you're gonna scare me again...
13:14 Harder!
13:17 [Screams]
13:21 [Music]

13:34 [Music]
13:41 [Music]
13:44 Hello?
14:03 [Music]
14:06 Hello?
14:29 Excuse me?
14:32 I gotta be dreaming.
14:38 [Music]
14:45 [Music]
14:48 [Music]
15:04 [Music]
15:07 [Music]
15:16 [Music]
15:25 [Music]
15:52 Don't touch that!
15:55 You'll ruin everything!
15:58 Who are you?
16:01 Who do you think I am? Take a guess!
16:04 You're the guy under my bed!
16:07 That's it? My entire persona described as "that guy under your bed"?
16:11 I think you can do a little better than that.
16:15 This is a dream.
16:18 I've gotta be dreaming.
16:21 You're half right. This place is a dream, but, um, you're not dreaming.
16:26 I don't like riddles.
16:29 The strangest things are there for me.
16:32 Both things to eat and things to see.
16:35 And many frightening sights abroad, till morning in the land of Nod.
16:41 Stop it. I'm scared and I wanna know where I am.
16:45 Oh, all right. You're no fun.
16:49 Young miss, you're in the land of Nod, where everyone goes to dream.
16:54 Land of Nod? And who are you?
16:57 Uh, isn't it obvious? I'm the Sandman.
17:01 And this is my home.
17:06 The Sandman? Like the guy who puts sand in your eyes to make you go to sleep?
17:11 At your service. Thank you.
17:16 But that's a fairy tale.
17:19 Exactly. Now we're getting somewhere.
17:23 Excuse me.
17:25 Ah!
17:37 Needs more snooze.
17:40 I don't believe you. I don't believe any of this.
17:43 It's a joke. It's... it's just...
17:46 It's, uh, what you wished for?
17:50 What?
17:52 Here's the scene. You took my book, clutched it to your chest,
17:57 looked out at the first star and said,
18:00 "What's so wrong about wanting to live in a place where dreams come true,
18:05 where you can wish upon a star?
18:07 I wish I could, and I wish everybody would leave me alone."
18:12 Sound familiar?
18:15 No. No way.
18:17 Yes way! You're in your own fairy tale.
18:20 Would you like to see how it comes out?
18:22 Yes.
18:23 Ah! Sorry. That would be cheating.
18:26 I want to go home.
18:29 Uh... sorry, that's not what happens.
18:33 Besides, fairy tales can't be changed.
18:37 Where's my family? Did you take them, too?
18:40 Don't worry. They're here.
18:43 They won't bother you anymore, just like you wished.
18:47 No, I'm going home.
18:49 You can't. That's reality.
18:52 You wanted a fairy tale, remember?
18:54 No, I don't. I want to go home.
18:57 Then maybe you should have been a little bit more careful about what you wished for.
19:04 (laughing)
19:07 (laughing)
19:10 I don't think so!
19:28 (laughing)
19:32 (laughing)
19:35 I could try another fairy tale!
19:51 They're all so much fun!
19:54 (growling)
19:57 Oh, what a head!
20:04 (screaming)
20:07 (laughing)
20:10 Didn't like that fairy tale? Try another!
20:14 (laughing)
20:20 I was expecting handsome and gruff, but you're too much!
20:26 Come closer, my dear.
20:30 (laughing)
20:33 Maybe you should have left the trail of breadcrumbs.
20:37 Or maybe you should stick with your own fairy tale.
20:42 (screaming)
20:49 Stacy? Stacy, wake up!
20:54 Rick?
21:01 John, wake up! You've got to wake up!
21:05 (laughing)
21:12 (screaming)
21:15 I didn't want this! This isn't what I wished for!
21:20 Yes, you did!
21:25 Welcome to your fairy tale!
21:28 (laughing)
21:32 (growling)
21:35 I want to go home!
22:01 I'll break it, I swear!
22:05 Put it down, Jill! You don't know what you're doing!
22:10 You send me home and send my family and friends home, too!
22:14 I can't! Fairy tales can't be changed!
22:17 They are what they are! Now leave it alone!
22:21 Not until you let us go!
22:25 But you wanted everyone to live happily ever after!
22:28 They'll sleep peacefully forever in the land of Nod!
22:32 They're prisoners and so am I!
22:35 This isn't the way your fairy tale's supposed to end!
22:38 But if you insist on being foolish, I'll have to put you to sleep, too!
22:43 What?
22:48 So the fairy tale can be changed, after all.
22:51 I didn't say that!
22:53 Yes, you did! It's my fairy tale, and if you can change it, so can I!
22:57 Please put that down!
22:59 I'm gonna put it down, all right, and I'm gonna close the book!
23:02 No!
23:04 Jill, stop!
23:10 Jill?
23:19 Jill, honey, what's the matter?
23:22 Yeah, now what?
23:27 (sobs)
23:29 It was a dream.
23:33 It was all a dream.
23:35 You were screaming. Are you okay?
23:37 No, she's not. She's a nutcase.
23:41 (sobs)
23:43 See?
23:44 No, I'm fine.
23:47 It was a stupid nightmare. I'm sorry.
23:51 It's okay, honey.
23:54 Go back to sleep.
23:57 Guys?
24:05 I know I've been kind of a pain.
24:09 I think it's time to start giving up this fairy tale stuff.
24:14 Hooray.
24:18 That's fine, honey. Just don't give up on the kid inside altogether, okay?
24:24 I'm never gonna get back to sleep.
24:34 (sighs)
24:36 (soft music)
24:39 (laughs)
24:55 (laughs)
25:24 The little girl went back to sleep,
25:27 promising never to believe in fairy tales again.
25:30 If only she knew, she would have never gone back in that bed again.
25:35 (laughs)
25:37 The end.
25:43 So, don't take fairy tales lightly.
25:49 You never know which ones are made up
25:53 and which ones are real.
25:56 Excellent.
25:59 I just have one question.
26:04 What?
26:07 Where's the part about the kids getting their heads chopped off?
26:11 (laughs)
