Harold and the Purple Crayon (2001) s01e08 Episode Script
A Blast from the Past
1 Aahaah Aahaah You act on attention, like ladies and gents, when I mention my name at the door.
And I hope you pardon me, see by my card.
I am finding a world we mexplore.
You're in the dream I have drawn.
You're like the wings for my song.
I get a lift with your gift to know right from the wrong, really strong.
Our imagination will find this occasion to go where we know we belong.
Aaaaah! It was Harold's bedtime.
But Harold didn't want to sleep.
He wanted to read his new book about dinosaurs.
Harold loved dinosaurs.
In fact, near his bed, in its own special place Harold kept something wonderful.
It was a fossil a small footprint from a dinosaur that had lived a long, long, long time ago.
Harold wondered all about dinosaurs.
What were they really like? Why weren't they here anymore? And wouldn't it be fun to ride the back of a big, long-necked dinosaur like the boy in his book? Harold wished there were a way to bring the dinosaurs back.
Harold knew from his book that the big, long-necked dinosaur lived in the jungle.
After much searching, Harold still hadn't found a big, long-necked dinosaur.
Or any dinosaur, for that matter.
Harold wondered where all the dinosaurs could possibly be hiding.
This dinosaur didn't seem as friendly as the one in Harold's book.
Harold hoped a tasty snack would put the creature in a better mood.
Apparently, the dinosaur didn't like doughnuts.
Harold hadn't realized that dinosaurs hatched from eggs, just like birds.
And he'd never seen eggs as large as these.
It was very kind of the mother dinosaur to take care of him but Harold wanted to get on with his search for a big.
long-necked dinosaur to ride.
There didn't seem to be any way to sneak past the mother dinosaur.
Now was Harold's chance.
An egg was hatching.
A baby dinosaur was being born.
A good laugh made them both realize there was nothing to fear.
Harold noticed the sun was getting in the baby dinosaur's eyes.
The baby dinosaur was delighted with Harold's gift.
Harold invited the baby to join his search for a big, long-necked dinosaur.
Harold was sure there'd be plenty of room on the dinosaur's back for both of them to ride.
After all the excitement, the baby wanted a drink to cool off.
Harold was thirsty too.
But there was something odd about the water in the pond.
Harold thought he'd better take a closer look.
The pond wasn't full of water, it was full of black, sticky goo.
It wasn't a pond at all.
It was a tar pit.
They absolutely could not drink tar so Harold drew a pitcher of lemonade.
The lemonade was quite refreshing, although a little on the sour side.
It felt like an earthquake.
Harold discovered what was making the ground shake: An erupting volcano.
The lava was coming closer.
If they couldn't get away Harold feared they would end up encased in rock just like the fossil in his bedroom drawer.
So Harold drew a giant drain just like the one in his bathtub at home.
But there was too much lava.
Even a giant drain couldn't handle it all.
Harold and the dinosaurs were trapped and the lava was coming fast.
Harold hoped that some water would cool off the fiery lava and slow it down.
The cold water turned the lava into solid rock.
Harold was pleased, until the volcano erupted again.
They weren't out of trouble yet.
The baby was so happy, he actually flew for a moment.
The dinosaurs wanted to celebrate their triumph with a feast of pine cones.
Harold politely explained that he didn't eat pine cones.
And he was still anxious to find a big, long-necked dinosaur to ride.
In all this time, he hadn't seen even one.
This was the big, long-necked dinosaur Harold had been searching for.
Harold figured this probably wasn't the best time to ask for a ride.
And Harold certainly was not going to let the big dinosaur hurt his friends.
The baby dinosaur was using his new found flying skills to help.
Harold's friend had given him time to think of a plan.
Harold hoped marbles would do the trick.
Harold's new friends thought it would be safest to leave.
Harold couldn't help asking the big, long-necked dinosaur why he'd been so mean before.
The dinosaur explained that he was upset because the others had eaten his pine cones.
He'd been saving them to eat during the cold winter months but now he had none left.
Harold couldn't let the big dinosaur go hungry.
The grateful giant asked if there was anything he could do for Harold in return.
Harold had finally had his ride.
It was even better than he'd dreamed.
It was the mother dinosaur.
She was so relieved to find her baby.
She'd been looking for him the whole time.
Harold knew it was time to go home but he didn't know how he would ever say goodbye to his new friends.
Harold was sad, because this goodbye was really goodbye.
When he got back to his room Harold knew the dinosaurs wouldn't be around anymore.
Not anywhere, not ever again.
When Harold looked up at the sky, he was relieved to realize that at least one thing would always be there for him: The moon.
The world of the dinosaur had been even more exciting than Harold ever imagined, but it was also full of danger.
There wasn't any room here for a dinosaur.
They belonged in another time and place.
And Harold belonged in his bed.
safe and cozy.
Finally, Harold dropped off to sleep.
And his purple crayon dropped to the floor.
And I hope you pardon me, see by my card.
