[Giant marble eagle falls on The Octopus]

The Spirit: [Wakes up after being unconscious] What smells dental?

The Spirit: All the enemy has is gun to knives. I have the entire city as my weapon.

Bosse: Who is that man? Wait, don't tell me. I already know. He's my father, right?

The Spirit: Yes. The king of the Land of Faraway.

Jason: Nicholas! We care about you! We used to be like you. We thought nobody cared.

Kim: But we were wrong. Now we want to be your friends, Nicholas, and make sure you're never alone again. Believe us, Nicholas! Believe us.

Nicholas: I... I believe you!

The Spirit: No! You can't! Don't do it! Stop! You don't care! They don't care!

Tender Heart Bear: Nicholas, what have you done?

Nicholas: Only what they did to me. They deserved it.

Tender Heart Bear: No, Nicholas. Please, listen!

The Spirit: Quick, Nicholas!

Nicholas: "Nyx... byx... styx!"

The Spirit: This is only the beginning.

Tender Heart Bear: This is a job for all the Care Bears!

Nicholas: There. The spell is cast. Now, everyone in town will know the loneliness they've made me feel.

The Spirit: Not quite. Look. These two children still care very much about everyone... except you.

Nicholas: But they were to fall under my spell.

The Spirit: Ah, but those soft little bears shield them from your spell with their... love and caring.

Nicholas: Ah, let them go. I'm even now.

The Spirit: Are you? What about all the others?

Nicholas: Others?

The Spirit: All the others that you have not yet cast your spells on. All the others that still care.

Nicholas: I've gotten even with the whole town. That's all I wanted.

The Spirit: The others will come after you for what you've done.

Nicholas: What should I do?

The Spirit: You must finish it! Go ahead! Say it!

Nicholas: Neebo, weebo, tick tock, reebo, zeebo, zip zap, zock! AAH!

[releases a cloud with evil eyes into the room]

The Spirit: This spell will seek out the children and bring them to us at any cost!

Nicholas: Isn't there another way?

The Spirit: No! They must be taught a lesson! A lesson for the children! A lesson for the town! A lesson for everyone!

Nicholas: What do you mean everyone?

The Spirit: Now, go!

[the cloud leaves]

Nicholas: You said a lesson. What kind of lesson?

The Spirit: Never mind that. You must now collect the ingredients for your next spell.

Nicholas: It's not going to work! Even the spell won't defeat them!

The Spirit: The spell was just having a little sport. The children are it's true target. Perhaps a sprinkle of toadstool mold will speed things up.

The Spirit: They're on their way!

Nicholas: [wakes up with a start] Ah! Here?

The Spirit: You'll be ready for them.

Nicholas: How?

The Spirit: By completing your final spell.

Nicholas: Final spell?

The Spirit: You must gather the elements quickly. When those two children arrive, they must be all that is left of caring in this world.

Nicholas: You don't mean...?

The Spirit: Yes! Everyone must be taught the lesson!

Nicholas: But...

The Spirit: Don't you see, Nicholas? It's too late to stop now! You must finish what you started! There's no turning back! Ha HA!

[the spirit and Nicholas laugh maniacally]

Nicholas: Who are you? How do you know my name?

The Spirit: I am a spirit, Nicholas. Your friend. I know many things... almost everything.

Nicholas: Everything?

The Spirit: I know how you can earn more friends.

Nicholas: Really? How?

The Spirit: With magic.

Nicholas: Magic?

[turns to Mr. Fettuccini]

The Spirit: Oh, not his magic tricks. I mean real magic. Magic that can make your fondest wish come true.

Nicholas: You mean you can use magic to get people to like me?

The Spirit: No, but you could. All you have to do is undo the lock.

The Spirit: Well done, Nicholas. He'll be in a deep sleep only long enough for you to take over his magic show.

Nicholas: But I... I couldn't!

The Spirit: Yes, you can. You must! This is your chance to show that you are a greater magician than he. They love him for his magic, they'll love you for your's. I'll help you.

Tender Heart Bear: Nicholas! Stop! This isn't the way to make friends!

Nicholas: Who are you?

Tender Heart Bear: I'm Tender Heart. A Care Bear. Your friend.

The Spirit: Friend? Where was he when you needed him?

Tender Heart Bear: What matters is I'm here now, and Nicholas needs me the most.

[the Spirit angrily growls and blows Tender Heart away]

The Spirit: See, Nicholas? Magic can do anything you want it to.

Nicholas: Hey, neat!

Tender Heart Bear: Magic isn't the answer, Nicholas. Your feelings can help you find the true answer.

The Spirit: Don't listen to him! There are dozens of children out there waiting to see your magic.

Nicholas: They'll love me just like they did the Great Fetuccini! I know all his tricks. I'm not doing anything wrong.

Tender Heart Bear: He won't succeed! The spirit doesn't care about him, but I do!

[as the audience laughs at Nicholas]

Nicholas: Make them stop laughing! Make them stop!

The Spirit: Only you can do that. Here - teach them a lesson.

Nicholas: A lesson?

Kid in audience: Come on! Make us laugh!

The Spirit: One they'll never forget!

Nicholas: [reads] Simmer-sot, Ra dee tar...

Tender Heart Bear: Nicholas, no!

Nicholas: ...Tazork nee!

[There is a thunderclap. The kids in the audience instantly start brawling]

The Spirit: Now they know how you've felt all your life, without a friend in the world. Now, they feel nothing!
