Oh, that clock! Old killjoy. I hear you. “Come on, get up”, you say, “Time to start another day”. Even he orders me around. Well, there’s one thing. They can’t order me to stop dreaming.

Oh, my decision? Well, I-I think we’ve seen how effective my decisions have been. Let’s re-cap. I lead a band of plundering vandals to the greatest archaeological find in recorded history, thus enabling the kidnap and/or murder of the royal family, not to mention personally delivering the most powerful force known to man into the hands of a mercenary nutcase who’s probably gonna sell it to the Kaiser! Have I left anything out? Well, you did set the camp on fire and drop us down that big hole. Thank you! Thank you very much.

The evening star is shining bright, so make a wish and hold on tight. There’s magic in the air tonight and anything can happen.

Ella, my darling, I want to tell you a secret. A great secret that will see you through all the trials that life can offer. You must always remember this. Have courage and be kind. Ella, you have more kindness in your little finger than most people possess in their whole body. Where is kindness, there is goodness. And where is goodness, there is magic.

I’ve got your back, chosen one. Go save the world.

What I love most about rivers is you can’t step in the same river twice. The water’s always changing, always flowing. But people, I guess, can’t live like that.

Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts.

We should be free to write our own story, follow our hearts and find love in our own time.

Go on! Go back and grow up! But I’m warning you, once you’re grown up you can never come back.
