Welcome to the real world.

Is this what you wanted? Is this what you thought it would be?

Is this what you thought it would be?

Welcome to the real world. Welcome to the real

world.

In episode one, Toddy delivered a letter.

Wasting his time, wasn't he? Sam and Jim would never go back to the toy shop.

Or would they?

Jim, come on!

Together we would have the power to make a perfect world.

The book is yours.

Come.

Okay, who's first?

Where are we?

What are you?

Limey. Doggy bump.

Imaginary mongrel. I'll test you with the name of dog.

The oob are upset, to put it mildly. Well, I don't know who the oob are, but

they are not as upset as I am.

That creep under the toy shop wrote a letter to my brother. Exactly.

And now your brother is big trouble.

What do you mean, my brother is big trouble?

Don't you mean he's in big trouble? That too.

There's a happy ending, of course.

Sit.

Not you.

Dog.

Then there are also some unhappy endings, and a few of them are really

nasty. How do I get the happy one?

I'm not sure you did.

And I'm not sure you do.

I told you they were worried.

What are they?

Bumps. Uh -huh. And bumps are?

My dear girl, don't you ever go to sleep at night?

Yes. And?

Things go bump in the night.

Right.

Well, these are them.

This is they.

Snaggots, you know what I mean.

But what are they?

Imagination. What the world is made of. What's in all the books.

So worried.

Cause... Your brother's back. There's

gonna be trouble.

Something's bad.

The two of them struggle.

Your brother's back.

Somebody scream!

Oh, please!

Can you people, things, bumps, just get serious for a minute? My brother is

trapped down there with that crazy person.

Bump? What? That crazy bump.

He's a bump.

He's a figment of his own imagination.

He's got a pretty horrible imagination.

Well, I wouldn't exactly say he's horrible.

I would.

He's not good.

He's not good.

He's not good.

Hang on. Wait a minute. Stop.

Not funny.

I've got to get my brother out of there.

Quite right, Samantha.

It's a serious situation.

I'll just feed dog and have a look in the books. Come.

Not you, dog.

Feed the dog.

Look in book.

I'm going to have to do this myself.

I have to follow you.

He's just curious.

He's always curious.

That's why they call him Snoop.

We came to help.

Don't get up! Absolutely.

Me too.

Three.

Five. Me five.

Thank you, Lorne. Thanks, everybody.

Okay, let's go.

This way.

This way. This way. This way.

You're supposed to be helping me. The Ink Thief can't be in all those

directions. Which one is it?

The ink thief? Oh, no.

You don't want to fight the ink thief?

Yes, I do.

That's why we're here.

It is?

Uh -oh.

He's got a brother, you know. And you expect big trouble.

Her brother's back and there's going to be trouble.

Okay, I'll show you where he is.

You can hold my hand.

Okay, girly. I got you now.

Girly, hey.

Hey.

Here you go, cat.

Take her to our leader. Make his night.

No, he don't believe it. Look, let's go into the rescue.

For a bump, you're very doggy.

I'm sure you inspire all the real dogs in the galaxy to do wonderfully doggy

things. But you are a bump. You can talk if you want to.

So, speak. What?

Nasty and horrible and rough.

Try the claws again, but this time hard.

Hard. Right.

Tear off his dingus. His dingus.

Right. Don't be afraid, Lorne.

You're a bum.

You're imaginary. You can't get hurt.

I could, I could, I could.

Imaginary hurting could be worse than you imagine.

And you can't imagine worse than me.

Let me go.

Leave him alone, you bum. Bully?

That's right. I'm a bully and a bad.

Watch this.

Not a bad bump, Lord King.

Not a bad bump at all, let bumps go.

The oob will be very proud of you for trying to protect the man.

But I didn't protect her.

I'm sorry, ma 'am. I got scared.

Never mind. You tried. That's the important thing.

Speaking of bad bombs... Are you afraid of them? No.

Come on.

All right, all right. I can explain.

We came to take the girlie to see her brother, didn't we, Todd?

Yeah. and stick her in the machine, because there's lots of power in a

smelly, stinky kiddie, and the boss needs lots of power, because then he's

to become... He ain't very bright. He don't understand stuff.

Not a lot up here, you see.

No, his bossness wanted us to take the girlie to show her how much fun her

brother was having with the machine and everything.

Look, he's around there.

Little fella's having a great time.

Jim! Jim!

No, no, no. Hey, if we're so bad, how come we're afraid of Miss Tiggle?

Ain't got a freedom, Miss Tiggle.

No.

Dream books.

Because you mess with Miss Tiggle, you mess with the books.

Who him? I know.

It's something to do with dimension.

Come back to the library.

You'll have a look in the book. I don't want to look at books. I don't have time

to look at books. I've got to get my brother out of here and go home. It must

late. Mum and Dad will... Funny business time.

Runs out, stands still, always too much of it and not enough of it.

If you want to get anything done in this universe, stick to now.

There's always just enough of that.

If we're going to do anything for your brother, we'd better have a look in the

books. Come on.

It's fun, Miss Tiggle, isn't she?

Nope.

Oh, come, come, my dear. Where's your manly courage?

I'm not a man, am I?

Not yet.

No, but have patience.

I got you this far, didn't I?

I'm thinking maybe this is far enough.

Miss Tiggle knows the owner.

She'll use the books.

The lease of the shop is almost up.

Almost time for a new thief.

And then what happens to me?

I'm happy like I am now.

And I'm out of here before... No, no, no.

You've got it all wrong.

Rats desert a sinking ship, not a flying one.

Yes, flying.

Mark my word, I'm rising fast. I will be.

I have the boy.

He understands the book. Oh, I can make out things, bits here and there, but he

understands it. He will gain knowledge. That knowledge will yield power, and

that power will be mine.

I will be real at last.

I will be a man.

More of a man than the world has ever seen before.

I will become something.

Imagination is nothing.

Bumps are less than nothing.

And as for you, do you remember?

when you were just a little rat.

Do you remember being frightened of pussycats?

Want to be like that again?

Then don't cross me.

Nothing equals everything.

Everything comes from nothing.

It's quantum physics and so simple.

From power.

Infinite power.

Oh, yes, we do speak the same language.

Not quite the same meaning, but... Oh,

you'll learn.

You'll learn.

I said you could go home any time you want to.

James doesn't want to.

Right, then I will. Show me the way out.

I'll go home and get Mum and Dad and the police and we'll all come back here.

And they won't find a thing. Just a dusty old toy shop with no -one in it.

What?

Why?

It's something to do with, er... Dimension.

book. Precisely.

How is an empty book going to help me get Jim back?

And please don't say it's something to do with dimensions.

All right, I won't, but it is.

Now, well, right.

To use the strange book, you have to pay...

Not you. Samantha.

As I was saying... I've only got pocket money with me, but I could... Not money.

Attention. You have to pay attention.

Oh. Good.

I can do that. Me too. Pay attention. Attention.

What? All right, then. Give it all the attention you've got and watch what

happens.

Don't worry, they can't see us.

They're Jim!

Jim!

Can't hear us either.

People are hungry.

There are wars everywhere.

And he has enough power to change it all.

He understands the book, the boy understands.

Things can be perfect.

We have infinite power, and we just didn't know it. And now we do.

We do. We do. It's easy. Easy.

Heaven on earth.

Yes, and no more having to imagine myself. Real world.

Here I come.

Oh, Jim, you silly twaddle. Wake up.

Look at him. Look at this place.

It's like Frankenstein meets the Phantom.

What is it, boy?

Well, it's only...

for things you can do with power.

And this all seems like something out of a Frankenstein movie.

No offence, but... It's as though he heard you.

Frankenstein's house? These were not monsters.

They were not evil people. They were heroes. They wanted us to be great. They

wanted us to reach for the stars.

It's for me.

Articles will hold people down who want things to remain as they are.

I mean, they make up stories about science being evil.

Oh, and people believe them. Do you want things to be as they are? You said it.

Hunger, wars. Never again.

Yeah, so you won't take offense and turn against me because of my tasting

clothes or furniture?

Ridiculous! Then we will change the world. Oh, come on. Let's drink to it,

Toddy. Don't believe this.

Unfortunately, Jim does.

Go and get Aloysius.

I dare you to drink a toad.

The bush wants us to drink some toast.

A toast.

I don't care how much toast. I had a whole puddle of power, all for me. And

the nasty, horrible, stinky kid gets it, and I get toast.

Nugget. A toast.

It means we all get to drink some power.

So come on.

What about me?

What about me? What about me? You.

Maybe you could make some toast.

There are other books.

Strange books.

I know.

They're watching us.

He can't know that.

But he does.

It'll be Tiggle.

He's trying to stop us.

What shall we do?

There's no power for Toddy, no. No power for me, and I do all the work, and the

nasty, stinky kid gets all the power. And how am I supposed to be a bad cat if

don't have any power, and I'm just mad?

I got no sympathy for you at all, cat.

I told you, and I told you.

Don't get mad.

Get even.
