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]

03:08 [music playing]

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]

13:24 [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)

26:15 (indistinct chatter)
