Oomp: His majesty, King Morpheus, has commanded me to direct you to summon and bring to the palace, at once, Master Nemo. Caption: Little Nemo was sleeping soundly when he heard a strange voice calling him, "You are wanted in Slumberland". Nemo: Who is it? Who are you? What do you want? Magoozla: Nemo!!! Nemo!!! You are wanted. Caption: He proceeded to reply when he discovered the floor flooded with water which was raising rapidly and frightened him. Nemo: I wonder who wants me, and what for. Magoozla: Come with me to the beautiful Slumberland. Caption: Nemo had not yet learned to swim although he was tempted to jump until the voice again called, "Have no fear, Nemo". Magoozla: Keep still. Have no fear. You are safe, Nemo. Caption: The idea of jumping had by this time entirely vanished from his mind so he began to call to his friend, the strange voice, "Hey you". Nemo: Hey you! I am afraid of this perfomance. Caption: At last the bed bumped against land to which he leaped without hesitation as a storm was raging and the sea was furiously angry. Magoozla: Just be calm, sonny. I'll watch over you. Just step off now. Caption: After the storm subsided he discovered he was on to be moved swiftly through the water but the voice allayed his fears. Nemo: I don't know about it. Magoozla: Hang on, tightly now and we'll go straight to Slumberland, the grand and magnificent. Caption: Although Nemo was a game little chap, he felt he must go home. He had gone far enough, some other time he would come, later on. Magoozla: Hang on! Don't let go! You're safe. I'm with you! Caption: So he let go but after some quick thinking he began to regret that he had not remained aboard the whale as he was instructed. Caption: Nemo resolved, however, to make the most of it and get home. Although he was becoming quite discouraged, he would not give up. Caption: But when he came before the Magoozla he all but collapsed. That party's effort to console him being useless he began to scream. Magoozla: Ha, ha! You're here at last, ah! Now I'll take you to the king. He wants to entertain you at a Caption: The Magoozla grabbed up the screaming boy and started at once for Slumberland with the speed of a rocket kicking and - Nemo: No! No! No! No! I don't want to go. Mama! Oh mama Magoozla: grand reception in the palace. The king wants you to meet the little princesses and dine with them - Caption: yelling until he aroused his mama Nemo awoke. Nemo: Mama! Oh, mama! Take it away, oh please, let me go. Oh! Ma-Ma! Nemo's mother: I knew it! You should not have eaten that huckleberry pie at bed time. |
