Molly Moon and the Incredible Book of Hypnotism (2015) Movie Script

1
This is
Hardwick House Orphanage.
I've lived here all my life.
That's grumpy Edna, the cook.
That's nice Mrs. Trinklebury.
She looks after the little ones
and lives in the village.
And the handyman...
Oh, I forgot.
Miss Adderstone fired him.
She runs the orphanage.
She's horrible.
We live by Adderstone's rules,
No singing, no sweets, no TV...
No fun.
That's me.
Well, actually, no, it isn't.
Miss Adderstone
doesn't even like us reading.
It's why I'm hiding
in the laundry room.
That's me, Molly Moon.
Come on, Molly.
And that's my friend, Rocky.
Midnight feast.
Hush, hush, silly Petula.
Mummy's back.
Ketchup sandwich.
Not so loud.
Adderstone will hear.
Ketchup!
I love ketchup!
What is going on here?
Out of bed after curfew?
Stealing from the kitchen?
Girls in the boys' dormitory?
You thought it was bad before...
It was me, Miss Adderstone.
It was my idea.
Molly Moon,
The rotten bad apple.
I might have guessed.
Toilet cleaning duty all week.
And all of you,
6 P.M. curfew
And fish soup three times a day.
It's so disgusting.
There's an eyeball in mine.
It's staring at me.
Yuck.
Come on, Ruby.
It's not that bad.
Smells horrible.
Yuck.
I don't even like fish!
Do we have to eat this,
Mrs. Trinklebury?
I'm gonna vomit.
Thanks to Bog-Eyes,
We're on curfew and
vomit soup all week.
Yeah, Bog-Eyes.
Don't you be rude about my food!
I put a nice piece
of mackerel in there.
One of you should find it.
I can't do this.
Are you gonna eat that?
Molly, what's that?
Talent contest.
You should enter.
You're brilliant.
Not a chance, loser boy.
That money is ours.
- Nobody leaves.
- Shut the front door!
Gonna bring you to your knees.
300!
That's enough, you lot!
I'd buy loads of sweets.
Little ones,
it's time for a nap.
Come on. Let's go.
Do I have to?
Bye, Jinx.
Bye-bye, Molly.
Bye-bye, fish soup.
Bye, Jinx.
Bye, Ruby.
Bye.
Your boyfriend won't enter
the contest. He's scared.
He's not my boyfriend!
He's my friend!
And he's the only one
you'll ever have, weirdo.
No wonder your parents
dumped you here.
No one dumped me!
Yeah, right, reject!
I'm not a reject!
Who told you that?
Everyone knows it.
You better shut up
before I make you shut up!
Silence!
What on Earth is going on?
Molly.
And what is this?
Talent contest?
How dare you bring
this nonsense in here
And cause this commotion?
Your punishment obviously
wasn't enough, Moon.
Dishwashing duty all week.
Don't ever think that you
can get the better of me,
Because I will come down
on you like a ton of bricks!
Molly, that's enough bubbles.
Let me give you a hand.
Thanks, but I can
do this on my own.
Miss Moon...
Put on a happier face
See?
You're smiling.
Ooh! Heh heh!
You know we're gonna
get out of this place
It's true
Bullies are
just such a waste
Of space
You know, you really should
enter the talent contest.
I... I can't sing in front
of other people.
Rubbish.
You sing to me all the time.
That's different.
In front of strangers,
I go all like jelly.
I can't do it.
I'll do it with you.
You will?
Neither of you
are going anywhere!
The only way you can leave
Is to get adopted,
and I can't imagine
Anyone in their right
minds wanting you!
Now finish the washing up!
Nighty-night.
Good night, Molly.
What's the matter?
They said I was a reject,
That nobody wanted me.
Oh, Molly, don't listen to them.
Come here.
Your parents
loved you very much.
They died.
They didn't dump me.
You were very special to them,
And you still are to all of us.
Now you need to get to bed.
You got a cross-country run
tomorrow.
Go on.
Just believe in yourself, Molly.
Run with me, Molly.
I'm not a reject.
Come on, Molly.
Why don't you just try?
Don't start on me, Rocky.
I hate this place!
Don't forget practice!
4:00!
Believe in myself
Believe in myself
I am like no one else
If they could see
for themselves
I'm so far off
Believe in myself
Believe in myself
Twisted eyes on the shelf
If they could see
for themselves
I'm so far off
From where you are...
It's all right for you,
Davina Nuttel.
I wish I was you.
These are due back on the 15th.
Enjoy.
Thank you very much.
I'll see you soon.
Hello, Molly.
It's in the usual place.
Thanks, Miss.
Where are you, Molly?
"Hypnotism:
An Ancient Art Explained"
By Dr. H. Logan, 1908.
I know it very well,
But as I said,
we've been unable to locate it.
Now listen.
I reserved that book.
I can only...
I came all the way from London.
Professor, please.
I've been looking for that book
For a very long time.
I ask you to keep
your voice down, please.
The only surviving copy
is here in this library.
Find it!
That's your job, isn't it?!
Professor, please.
What sort of incompetent
librarian are you?
Right. Find it myself.
Hs. Hs. Hs.
Ah, here. Hamsters.
Hairdressing. Hippies.
Hypnotism. Here we go.
"History of Hypnotism."
"Helpful tips
on Hypnotism."
Somebody's borrowed it,
And it hasn't been
properly booked out.
Nobody has borrowed it,
Professor.
I could only assume it's lost.
I don't know what to tell you...
"You are about to depart
on an incredible journey"
Or the week after.
I need it now!
Professor, I'm afraid it
may very well be lost.
I suggest you find it.
Otherwise, Briersville will be
looking for a new librarian.
Perhaps I was a little too hasty,
Professor. Let me look again.
That's it!
That's the book!
Hey, wait!
You, come back!
That is not the sort of dress
You should be wearing
to a funeral.
To mind my own business!
You! You!
Where does this road lead?
"Hypnotism is an ancient art."
"It has been used
since the earliest times"
"To dissolve fear and pain,"
"To change peoples' lives."
"An experienced hypnotist
will find"
"That hypnotism can be achieved
with a simple glare of the eyes."
"Only a few will have
the true gift."
"To find out whether
you have this talent,
"Try to put yourself
into a trance.
"All you need is a looking glass
So you can stare
into your eyes."
"Stare hard.
"When you feel
as if you are floating,
"Your mind is in a trance.
Focus completely
on your reflection."
Quiet, Petula!
Why do you have to be
so mean all the time?
Petula, no.
"Think of the animal
you are going to hypnotize.
Find its voice. Copy it."
Rrrr. Grr.
From now on, no angry Petula.
Wow!
It actually worked!
You and me are friends now.
There you are.
You said you'd practice with me.
You'll never believe...
I waited over an hour.
I'm sorry, Rocky.
I just...
I just don't care why, Molly.
Just don't let me down
again next time.
I won't.
Come on.
Let's go to dinner.
Fish vomit soup all week.
Hmm.
We'll see about that.
"Help wanted."
Hmm.
I don't know why
I bother, really.
Nobody likes it, anyway.
Smells nice.
Oh!
What?
Your own recipe?
'Course it's
my own flippin' recipe.
"Copy your subject."
This will help
put them into a trance."
Bloomin' creepy, you are.
It's too flamin' hot.
Here! What you doing?
It is too flamin' hot in here.
You need a break.
Hmm.
Suppose it won't hurt.
I do need a bloomin' break.
There we go,
Round, round.
Nice and relaxing.
I'm beginning
to feel a bit soupy.
You are feeling sleepy.
Feel how relaxed you are.
What awfully nice eyes
you've got.
Yours must be feeling
very heavy right now.
Just take a few nice breaths.
Breaths... breaths.
In...
And out.
3, 2,
Amazing!
Amazing.
Edna, from now on,
You'll be the friend of me,
Molly Moon,
And you're not going to cook
fish or chicken feet.
You're going to cook
something delicious...
From Italy.
Delicious, from Italy.
Buon appetito!
It's really yummy.
Spaghetti.
I love spaghetti!
Nice.
Spaghetti primavera,
Formaggia, e pomodoro.
Hey!
That's really good.
It's got garlic in it.
I love garlic.
Spaghetti!
Edna!
Have you gone mad?
No. I happen to have a love
of Italy deep in my soul,
And sometimes it comes out.
It's never come out before!
First time for everything.
Deep in her soul.
Andiamo.
What's "andiamo"?
Gemma, could you take the
little ones upstairs, please?
And you should
try it, Miss Adderstone.
It's remarkably good.
I don't do spaghetti.
It's great!
Quiet, please!
It's delicious, Edna!
Shouting is not permitted, Moon!
See me in my study after dinner!
Oi! Molly's just
complimented me on my food.
You owe her an apology.
Edna...
What?
I think you need
a little holiday.
Actually, Miss Adderstone,
Um...
I think she might
be onto something.
This is the first
nutritious meal
That the kids have
had in... in years.
Yeah, it's lovely.
It's delicious.
It's really good.
This is a letter from
a Mr. and Mrs. Alabaster.
They will be coming to visit us,
And they've asked me to recommend
one of you older children
And only one of you
for adoption.
Oh, it's not every day
That wealthy, nice people
do this sort of thing,
And you certainly
don't deserve them.
They're coming
on Saturday afternoon.
All you children
will be presented to them,
But who I choose will be
the child they adopt.
Hazel...
Better luck next time.
Well done. Yes.
It's your lucky day.
Make sure you look presentable.
I don't want to go without you.
We won't let that happen.
We'll always stick together.
Don't worry.
I'll think of a plan.
You promised that Molly and
Rocky would be adopted together.
Don't tell me my job,
Trinklebury.
I've raised those two
since the day they arrived,
And I'm not gonna stand by
And see what little happiness
they have ripped away.
Well, it's my decision.
Anyway, they need to learn to
stand on their own two feet,
Apart from each other
if necessary.
If you go through with it,
I will be forced to talk
to the governing board,
And they won't stand for you treating
the children's futures like this.
Moon, Moon.
I know where you live, Moon.
There you are.
Hello, Mum.
So where have you been
all week, huh?
I'm organizing a job, big one.
I think you'll be impressed.
No, I doubt that.
You'll never be
a master criminal
Like me, you know.
I'm going to rob Shorings Bank.
Shorings? You mean
the jewelry people?
Are you mad?
It's like Fort Knox.
Anyway, I heard that the Cregg
gang have got their eyes on it.
Well, what if I told you
That I'm going to get
there before them?
And what if I told you that
I'm going to use hypnosis?
What are you talking about?
There's this girl, and, uh,
she has a book, tells you everything.
Little girl and a book.
Mum...
What are you talking about?
This book's amazing.
It has the power to choose who
becomes a master hypnotist,
And it's going to choose me.
I just have to get
the book off the girl.
Um, her name is Moon,
And she lives in an orphanage.
Moon, hypnotism, robbing banks?
Mum, I just need to get...
Are you out of medication?
Stick to the small stuff.
I don't want to sell off
Other people's
stolen things for...
Oh, shut up,
And get on with it.
I'll show her.
Hardwick House.
Moon.
Second floor.
What do you want?! Speak!
The sign, help wanted.
It's...
Oh, you want the job.
Let's start
with the sewage tank.
Ohh! Ohh!
I want it finished
Before the children
get back from school.
Revolting.
Showtime, Trinklebury.
"To lull your subject
into a trance",
"Echo their feelings.
See the world as they do."
Adderstone's mad.
"Beware. Angry people are
difficult to hypnotize."
"Find something that they
are deeply attached to.
"This thing could be a hobby,
a piece of music,
A favorite belonging."
Your patterns.
Mrs. Trinklebury,
These lightbulbs need replacing.
Um, give me a hand.
I can't quite reach.
Of course, Miss Adderstone.
The children need to see
where they're going.
Don't want there to be
a nasty accident, do we?
Yes, that side.
Just...
Just a few more...
What the...
Oh, Mrs. Trinklebury!
Mrs. Trinklebury!
Girls!
Come quickly!
Come on. She's fallen
down the stairs.
Quick, Molly!
Something awful's happened!
Mrs. Trinklebury!
We want to say goodbye to her.
Let us pass.
I want to see.
Stiff upper lips!
Accidents happen.
Is she dead?
No, of course she isn't dead!
It was just a little trip!
Come on. Up to bed,
all of you!
Up! Come on.
Nothing to look at!
Get well soon, Trinkers.
But not too soon.
Oh, I say.
You're very forward,
Mr. Nockman.
Gutters. I'm just... You know.
The last handyman...
Just used the stairs.
Come and have a sherry.
Ohh!
Oh! Oh!
First thing tomorrow!
Don't be late!
We're so pleased
you and Mrs. Alabaster
Have decided to adopt
one of our children.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
Goodbye.
Come on.
We'd better go.
You go ahead.
I'll catch you up.
What?
I've got something to do.
Just make sure we're on last.
But...
I promise I'll be there.
Just go.
Come!
If you've come
to try to change my mind
About Rocky, don't bother.
Stop ogling me, girl!
You look demented.
I've always admired your fashion sense,
Miss Adderstone.
Your choice of patterns,
really original...
And you make it work so well.
Yes, I-I've always...
Enjoyed combining patterns
And colors and...
Patterns.
The patterns on your skirt
Work so perfectly
With the shapes on your shirt.
You're right.
Some people would say
they clash, but I...
I see you've
understood my pants...
My point.
3, 2...
I'm really nervous, you know.
But Molly will turn up.
You know that, don't you?
But what if she doesn't show up?
Gotta get the money.
Look who it is.
You loser.
I wish we had parents.
Someday.
You remember how it was
when you were a child,
When you were happy?
You'll be nice to everyone.
Yes, only nice.
And you'll need
someone to play with.
Here's your new best friend.
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Lost your girlfriend?
Scared to go out there
all on your own, see?
No one's going
to want to adopt you,
Loser boy.
Nobody leave
Shut the front door
I'm not saying pretty please
Shut the front door
Gonna bring you
to your knees
Shut the front door
'Cause I'm-a
sting you like a bee
Shut the front door
You're going
to tell the Alabasters
To adopt Hazel,
not Rocky? Understand?
I understand.
Nobody leave
Shut the front door
'Cause I mean business
Come on, Molly.
I'm going on.
You're going to
change the records
To say that me and Rocky
will be adopted together.
"Abandoned at birth"?
"Left on doorstep"?
"No contact since"?
You were left on the front steps
In a Moon's Marshmallow box.
That's how you got your name.
So they didn't die.
They left me.
Rocky!
And now the final act
of the competition,
A singing duo,
Molly Moon and Rocky Scarlet.
It's not fair.
We were the best.
We should have won.
How did Rocky do?
He didn't do it.
Uh-oh.
Feels like we've
gone back in time.
Not long to wait now.
Yes. We hope you'll accept
this contribution.
Oh, thank you.
Perhaps some laptops
for the children,
IPads maybe.
Teddy says, "Thank you."
He's very welcome.
Jammie Dodger?
Nice car, isn't it?
There you all are!
How nice!
It's so lovely to see you.
Now, Hazel, quick as sticks.
Mr. and Mrs. Alabaster
have arrived from London.
Run upstairs,
and brush your hair.
You're now my first choice.
She's gone bonkers.
That's my teddy.
Here we are!
Thank you.
That's... That's fine.
Oh.
Ah, the children!
Now, there's one that I'd
especially like you to meet.
Hello. I'm Rocky.
How lovely to see you.
I've really been looking
forward to meeting you.
No, no, no.
Pleasure, Rocky.
Nice to meet you, Rocky.
Someone else.
Oh. Come over here.
Tell me about yourself.
No, no, I think there's been
A tiny, little bit of a mistake.
I like
cross-country running,
Reading history,
and playing the guitar,
Classical mostly.
Me, too.
Molly, where have you been?!
The Alabasters are here!
They've chosen Rocky!
He's leaving!
Rocky.
No.
Stop!
Rocky, stop!
What are you doing?
No, it should be Hazel.
I just want to go, Molly.
Go? You can't go!
I changed everything
for the better!
You promised
you'd be there for me,
And you weren't.
You promised.
We have to go now, Richard.
Rocky.
Don't worry, Molly.
He'll come back.
You didn't see
the look in his eyes.
Then you've got
to go and find him.
I can't just leave you all.
Don't worry about us.
We'll manage.
Just bring him back
as soon as you can.
We need him here for Christmas.
I'll do it.
London.
Where is it?
I know you.
Give it to me.
You were in the library.
Give me that book.
What book?
No.
No, just...
Give it.
All right, then!
Agh!
Ohh!
Beastly thing!
Ohh!
No, Petula. Go back.
Ohh!
Stop!
Stop!
Where are you going?
London, but this is
a charter coach.
You can't come on.
But I really need
to get to London.
Not on this coach, you won't.
Now get back to your mummy.
I don't have one.
I'm an orphan.
And I need to get on this coach,
And you really want to help me.
Well, I... I don't know
if I can...
Hey!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop the bus!
Believe in myself
Believe in myself
Things that I felt
Like no one else
in the world
We won't see Rocky
today, Petula.
I'll have to find the address.
We'll need to find
somewhere to stay.
Believe in myself
Believe in myself
Dream for myself
See for myself what can be
'Cause I need to find
what's out there for me
Maybe this time I'll be fine
Maybe this time will be mine
Look after yourself, Molly.
I will.
Thank you. Bye!
Got some more hypnotizing
to do, Petula.
Do you work here?
Yes.
It's the hotel's finest suite.
There are controls for temperature,
lighting, and entertainment.
And there's even a dining room!
Whoa.
Is that Big Ben?
Yes, it is. We cater
to your every need.
A dog walker, if you require it,
Use of the hotel panoply,
And your own private balcony.
Wow!
This is amazing.
This time will be mine
Rocky's going
to love this place.
You know
I finally got out
of that place
It's true
Old friends
are just such a waste
Of space
The coach was heading to London.
Where would it
have dropped her off?
Where the hell is she?!
Qube
If you're cool
Qube
If you're cool
I could be like her, Petula.
Qube
Everybody loves you
now you're so Qube
Everybody loves you
Now you're so Qube
Everybody loves you...
Ugh.
Good morning, London!
What a beautiful day
for Christmas shopping!
Let's rock!
So for
Mr. Duncan Alabaster,
It's 12 Montparis Avenue,
London, W163SD.
Okay.
Thank you.
Good day, Madame.
I think I know how you
and your dog got in here.
Don't worry.
I won't tell anyone.
An orphan, aren't you?
Why do you think that?
I can tell.
You have to be tougher
Than the rest, don't you?
You're an orphan, too?
You're not throwing me out?
Let's just take it one day at a time,
shall we?
Thank you.
Uh, Miss Moon,
Please don't hypnotize
any more of my staff.
Okay, here we go, cowboy.
One portion of Angela's organic,
homemade muesli coming right up.
Good catch. Okay.
We've got... Let's see.
Low-fat.
Um, that's soy milk
Or rice milk.
Yogurt? Probiotic.
Morning, Richard.
Hope you had
a good night's sleep.
Now I hope you've got
everything you want.
Svetlana, she can rustle up
anything if you want her to.
No, it's fine,
Thank you,
Mrs. Alabaster.
Ah, call me Angela.
Maybe... Maybe Mummy?
Hello.
Yes, yes, absolutely.
Richard, I... I think
you've got a visitor.
For me?
Come on.
Don't keep
the little lady waiting.
Molly!
Rocky!
What are you doing here?
Nice suit.
Nice hair, too.
How did you find me?
Petula?
What's she doing here?
It's a long story.
I got so much to tell you.
You'll die when you see
where I was staying.
It's amazing.
I can hypnotize people.
I can do amazing things.
We can do amazing things
together,
Everything we dreamt about.
I'm not going anywhere.
Rocky,
I'm sorry I let you down at the talent...
It doesn't matter.
- They're my family now.
- Richard?
They're not your family!
Richard?
I'm your family!
Richard? Everything okay?
Yes, Dad. Just coming.
Richard? Dad?
Wait, wait, wait!
This is where I'm staying.
It's brilliant.
You can see the whole of London from...
Goodbye, Molly.
I'm sorry.
I've got to go.
What are we going to do, Petula?
I guess it's
just you and me now.
It's not over
unless I say so
She's everywhere.
It's not over,
get on with the show
Get on with the show
Ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Davina Nuttel!
Right here on the Charlie
Cooper morning show!
So, Davina, tell us
about your latest venture.
Well, Charlie,
I'm in a TV special.
So many people love me.
We just wanted to find a way
to share me with everyone.
"So many people love me!
I'm just going to explode!"
Must be so nice to be popular.
And you're working
with director Barry Rix,
London's star maker.
Oh, he's the best.
We have very big plans.
In fact, so big, we're looking
for extra singers and dancers,
So if you want to be a
part of my amazing show,
We're holding auditions
here at the studios today.
Auditions, to be on TV?
Thank you.
Thank you, everyone.
Petula, I could be a star.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Introducing
the famous Miss Molly Moon!
I want to talk
to Barry right now!
Tell Barry we're coming
to see him.
Too right,
we're coming to see him!
She can't work this way!
Tell Barry that Miss Nuttel
says she can't work this way!
Barry, where are you?!
I'm done with this.
Davina Nuttel.
I'm telling you, Barry...
Davina.
The moves are all wrong!
I'm constantly being
crashed into or upstaged!
She is the star!
I'll change
the routine! Davina?
Up front and center
the entire time.
I'm sure we can sort it out.
Find me another choreographer.
Cancel the auditions.
Mm-hmm.
Get rid of them.
Okay, guys, back
to the holding room.
Come on, guys.
Could do this number with my eyes closed.
Why can't she?
Believe in myself
I believe in myself
I'm like no one else
If they could see
for themselves
I'm a star
The auditions
are canceled. Scram.
Mr. Rix.
Disappear,
or I'll call security.
You're the best director
in the business.
Who are you?
Must be difficult.
People expect so much from you.
Your singing was amazing.
You could have been...
You should be a star.
You, um...
Really think so?
I like that bit.
If they could see
for themselves
Yeah, I love that bit,
too. It was...
If they could see
for themselves
I'm a star
I'm telling you, Charlie,
she's the real deal,
The whole
gift-wrapped package.
I'm being deadly serious.
I want her to replace Davina,
And we'll call the show...
"Marvellous."
Everyone's gonna love her.
Do you really think they...
Don't speak!
Look at those eyes.
I tell you...
You are a star.
Of course the boot's
not too small.
You're just not
putting it on right!
I can't believe he did that to me!
It's not my fault!
Don't worry, darling.
Mummy's going to
sort it all out.
Ow! For God's sake, careful!
Moron.
Idiot.
I'm done with this.
It's not over
That's my song.
Unless I say so
It's not over,
get on with...
That's my song!
Not anymore.
Get on with the show
Well, I've been down
below the ground
Couldn't see
the stars were shining
Way up above
With so much love
Didn't know the world
was calling
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Didn't know
the stars were shining
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Didn't know
the world was calling
And I'm shouting out
with the loudest light
A shooting star
is here tonight
I can see it all
like a satellite
A shooting star...
Come on, darling.
We really must
hit the ground running.
Photo shoot this afternoon,
More tomorrow, and
"Charlie Cooper Show" tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Molly Moon!
Hi, everybody.
And who do we have here?
Petula, my best friend.
Aww.
Aww.
It may be a mystery
why Davina was sacked,
But I'm sure you'll all agree
her replacement is mesmerizing.
Thank you.
I really like it here.
I need a new bag
to go with my new shoes,
And I'll need lots more
dresses for my parties.
Oh, oh!
I need some new jewelry.
Wow! That's me.
With the loudest light...
Look! It's her!
A shooting star
is here tonight
I can see it all
like a satellite
It's okay!
I can do this!
A shooting star
is coming home tonight
And I'm shouting out
with the loudest light
A shooting star
is here tonight
I can see it all
like a satellite
A shooting star
is coming home tonight
It's not over
I've still got my wings
It's not over
Unless I say so
It's not over
Get on with the show
It's rubbish.
Get on with the show
Petula, darling?
Petula! Not the time,
Not the place, not your show!
Hello? Can someone...
You...
Are marvelous.
What has she done to them?
I thought we'd be weeks
in rehearsal.
London's not going
to know what's hit it.
Crikey.
I don't think I can do this.
But being famous is nice.
You can't dance!
You can't sing!
You can't just steal
things from people!
I worked hard for this!
Give me a second to explain.
You've paid them off
or something.
Whatever you've done,
I promise you you're not
going to get away with it.
And these are mine!
And stop staring at me!
The audience will know
you're rubbish!
"To hypnotize
a crowd of people",
"All you need is
a looking glass.
Stare into your own eyes."
"If successful, your face
will appear to change shape,
"And your eyes
will feel glowing.
"This is the intensency...
"Intensity needed
for crowd hypnosis.
You'll be able to hypnotize
a crowd of 10."
10? Is that all?
I don't know
if I can do this, Petula.
Whoa.
Okay.
If I'm in heaven
Heaven's in me
I knew I'd get
to heaven eventually
Wish you were here, Molly.
Delicious, delightful...
I'll show you, Mama.
I'll hypnotize my way in.
Need that book!
Molly Moon.
Molly, it's me, Gerry.
Gerry!
How did you know where I was?
We heard about you on the radio.
How is Mrs. Trinklebury?
She's getting better.
She's still in hospital.
Is Miss Adderstone
looking after you,
Now that she's being nice?
Kind of.
She's still behaving funny.
She lets us look after
ourself now.
What about Edna?
She's left.
She's gone to open
a restaurant in Italy.
Did you find Rocky?
Yes.
He's happy where he is.
When are you coming home, Molly?
One second, Gerry.
I have to take this other call.
Hello.
Your limousine
is downstairs, Miss Moon.
Thank you.
Gerry, I have to go now.
I'll talk
to you later. Bye.
Teddy?
Well?
Where are you?
She had to go.
That's my teddy.
Teddy's mine now.
Heh.
Molly Moon! Molly Moon!
Molly Moon!
Molly Moon!
Molly Moon! Molly Moon!
The show is really a sellout?
You better believe it, babe,
And millions will be
watching on TV,
Millions.
You ready?
Let's do this.
To name as many things that Rick Astley is
"never gonna" do.
I'm in heaven...
Hello, Mecca Pecca.
Molly Moon!
Molly Moon!
Molly Moon! Molly Moon!
Molly Moon!
Wait a second.
Miss Moon, can I
have an autograph?
Of course.
Where have I heard
that name before?
Well, well, well,
The girl and the book.
Richard's guitar
is coming on well.
I think we'll go to play
after the meal.
Mm-hmm.
You know, if this, uh...
This Tokyo bid's successful,
We'll be spending a
lot of time out there.
Need to think about a
boarding school for Richard.
Really? Why aren't
we taking him with us?
Oh, goodness, no.
Disrupt his education
And his music studies.
Hello, Mum.
Have you found her yet?
Not yet, no.
You might try looking
for her at Portland Studio.
She is about to become the
biggest TV star in the world.
Molly Moon?
What do you mean?
She's got that book with her,
And I think she's
been learning from it.
What was the name
of that studio, Mum?
Portland Studios.
How do you spell that, Mum?
P-O-R...
Oh, I don't know why I bother.
Uh, may I proudly present
The talents of
Richard Alabaster.
I can't really do this.
Show some backbone, Richard.
Don't let yourself down.
Come on, Richard.
Don't be so pathetic.
Play.
I am not playing!
And I'm not going
to any boarding school!
Do you think it's
too late to send him back?
Okay, peppermint tea?
Coffee? Wine?
Yes.
Five minutes to showtime!
I've done what I can, Petula.
It's got to work.
Take your seats,
ladies and gentlemen.
The show is about to begin.
Oh, Belle, come on!
It's starting!
Molly Moon! Oh, Molly Moon!
I can't wait to see her!
She's so famous!
Molly Moon!
Please let this work.
Hello, everybody.
It's nice to meet you.
You've all been
wondering about me.
Well...
Look into my eyes.
You want to see and hear
The most marvelous,
Fabulous, spectacular...
Thrilling show ever.
And you will.
You are going to love this.
Go, Molly!
Yes!
Hey, everybody
Take a look at me
I'm on fire
Brightest star you'll see
I'm one in a million
Hits to make you chill, yeah
You don't want to miss me
I'm making history
Ahh
I'm on top
Right where I want to be
Super...
Star
There's no stopping me
I'm on top
Right where I want to be
To the...
I'm on top
Right where I wanna be
Superstar
Richard!
I'm not Richard.
I'm Rocky.
You are an ungrateful,
Spoilt, childish little boy!
How dare you lock
this door, hmm?
You're ours now, Richard!
We only want
what's best for you.
You can fly out and can
visit us on the holidays.
Richard, I am going
to count to 10!
1, 2, 3...
4, 5...
I'm warning you!
6, 7, 8...
Richard!
Ah ah
Ah ah
Ah ah
Ahh
Ahh
"Molly Moon."
"Doorstep drop."
She's an orphan.
"How to hypnotize a crowd."
So that's how you do it.
Who are you?
Who am I?
Do you live under a rock?
Get out, or I'll call security.
Give me the book, darlin'.
You must be joking.
Horrible little man.
Just, you know...
It's all right.
Creep!
Give me the book.
Come on.
Give me the book.
Give it...
Do you mean this?
Aah!
Yeah, yeah.
I'm checking it out.
All clear.
Have you got the book yet,
Or are you just
twiddling your thumbs?
Having rather a difficult day actually,
Mother.
Now listen up to what
I'm gonna tell you.
I have it on very good authority
That Cregg and his boys
are gonna rob Shorings Bank
Tomorrow morning first thing,
So after they've done
all the heavy work,
You are gonna rob them,
And you are gonna use
some of all that, um,
Hypnotism stuff that you've
been blathering on about.
Haven't quite got the book
from the girl yet, mother.
You don't need the book.
You just need the girl.
She's already learned it.
You mean kidnap her?
Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah
Whoa oh, oh oh oh, oh
Ah ah, ah ah ah, ah
Whoa oh, oh oh oh, oh
She's no Davina.
He needs his head examined.
Now we are always one
See a whole new start
Stronger together
Now we are always one
See a whole new start
Stronger together
Now
Molly Moon.
I don't believe it.
Seriously? Got better kids
in the infant class.
Molly Moon, you are a star.
Welcome to showbiz.
Molly, Molly,
How does it feel
to be toast of the town?
I feel right at home.
Do you think
fame will change you?
Of course it won't.
Your family must be so proud.
Are they here tonight?
They...
Couldn't make it.
You've become a star overnight,
Everything a girl could ask for.
So tell me, if there was
one person in the whole world
You could share all this
with, who would it be?
All those people,
I fooled them.
I cheated, Petula.
I feel so bad about it.
They don't really love me,
Not like my real friends.
I miss Rocky, Petula.
Oh, there you are, Molly.
You need to get dressed
for the after-show party.
I'll take Petula.
Right.
Davina?
I know what you're up to,
And I know your secret.
You just hypnotize people
to get what you want.
Six years of ballet lessons,
Tap lessons, singing lessons,
And you just bat
your eyelashes and waltz in.
You're right, Davina.
This is yours.
I just wanted what you had.
You're the star.
I thought I could make
everything great,
But I didn't at all.
I don't want this anymore.
This is yours.
Thank you.
I was a bit of a monster.
We've both made mistakes,
Davina.
It's time I went home.
But aren't you an orphan?
Yes, I am.
Then you haven't got a family.
But that doesn't mean I don't
have people who love me,
And I miss them.
I'm giving all this up.
Molly!
Sweetie, what are you wearing?
There's a Charlie Cooper
interview in half an hour.
We've got the, uh,
after-show party.
There's this agent I really...
I'm leaving the show, Barry.
In fact, I'm leaving
show business.
Uh, Molly, Molly, Molly!
No, no, no, no.
Don't, uh...
Don't try comedy.
Just focus on singing
and dancing right now.
You said to be a star,
I must really want it.
Well, I realized I don't.
My friends are more important,
And I miss them,
So I quit.
You ungrateful little brat!
I'm sorry, Barry.
Ahem.
You're nobody, Moon!
You know that?
And to think I got rid
of a real star for you.
Why don't you
go and get her back?
She's over there
in the dressing room.
Ask Davina back?
She'll never agree.
Anyway, she's a monster.
She's pretty brilliant,
Much better than me,
And she deserves another chance.
Imagine the publicity.
Barry Rix masterminds the comeback
of Davina "Darling" Nuttel.
Brain wave.
Davina in a new show, massive extravaganza.
Do you feel it?
Music extravaganza,
Orchestras, dancing girls,
the whole lot.
It's fantastic. Yes.
Do you like it?
When can we start rehearsal?
Anytime you like.
I'm a genius!
You are.
Davina!
Darling, you look fabulous!
So much to discuss.
Petula.
Rocky!
Molly! I missed you!
I've missed you, too, Rocky.
This young man came to the
hotel looking for you.
I knew you were here,
so I brought him along.
Thank you.
We have to look after
our friends.
You understand that?
Now travel home safely.
The Alabasters could
never be my family.
They were horrible.
But what about you?
You're a star now.
Well, it's not for me.
I thought I could
make everything better.
What are you talking about?
I found this book.
This book taught you
how to hypnotize people?
Yes. It was fun at first,
Edna with the spaghetti
and Adderstone.
And then it sort of
started going wrong.
Come on. We best get
back to the orphanage.
I hypnotized the
director to pick me
And all the audience.
All of the audience?
But that's amazing, Molly!
You were on television
all over the world.
Miss Moon,
this letter has just arrived for you.
Thank you.
Petula!
She's been kidnapped!
I've got to go to the
meeting point alone!
I have to be there by dawn.
Let's call the police!
We can't tell the police.
They'll find out
what I've been doing.
You can't just go alone!
We need a plan, okay?
He doesn't know about me.
That's our advantage.
He said come alone.
When did we start doing
what grownups say?
Come on, then.
Now you listen.
Petula.
You. It's you!
Why are you wearing those...
I know what you learned
in that book,
And you won't do it to me.
I have a little job for you.
Do what you're told,
And you and the dog
go free. Come on.
Rob a bank?
I can't rob a bank.
I'm not a criminal.
Don't fool yourself.
You conned your way into fame
and fortune, didn't you?
How would that look
on a billboard?
I was just trying...
You're a natural, all right?
And we're not robbing a bank.
We are robbing the people
who are robbing a bank.
Cregg.
Right.
We'll wait for Cregg's men
To come out of the bank
In the security truck.
It will be stuffed with jewels.
Then you do as you're told.
Where did she come from?
Where'd she go?
That's my girl.
Out.
Come on!
I've done what you wanted!
You said you'd let me go!
Hurry up.
Get in there!
We had a deal.
Well, that's
show business. Heh.
Okay, Mum...
This is where your son
hits the big time!
Ah! The dog
stays in the box.
Sit there.
There!
What is this?
What is this?
Iris recognition.
Access denied.
Step away from the vehicle.
Step away from the vehicle.
Step away from the vehicle.
It's not fair!
Get him!
Uhh!
Mum!
Hello, sonny.
Going somewhere?
Cregg?
You're in this together?
But he's your biggest rival!
Tony and I joined forces
Just before we joined forces.
Heh.
Didn't we, Tony?
Oh, you're so cute.
You're old enough to be his...
Think about the end
of that sentence.
Petula.
Huh.
Well, it's a pleasure
To finally meet you.
You are a clever girl.
Hey.
Stay where you are, pal!
You think we don't know
What we're dealing with here?
You were fantastic
hypnotizing half the world,
Let alone my two guys
at the bank,
But now we have something that
you're gonna have to do for us,
Something that we knew about,
But my stupid son didn't.
Iris recognition.
Come on.
Access denied.
I know you can do it.
I can't do it!
It's a machine!
Concentrate!
Step away from the vehicle.
Otherwise, that dog
of yours is dog meat.
Go on!
Iris recognition.
Unable to identify.
I know you can do it!
Stop fooling around!
Unable to identify.
Unable to...
To I-iden... ident...
Identification.
Iris identification.
Access granted.
Ha ha!
Yes! Get down.
Come here.
Bingo.
Put them both in the lockup,
And let's get
this stuff in the car.
Okay, babe.
Mum? What about me?
Mum!
Get in there.
What about you, son?
All the work I put into this.
Double-crossed
by my own mother.
And now your Mum's dumped you,
And it's all gone wrong.
Don't expect me to feel sorry
for you, Nockman.
You stole something
that wasn't yours,
And you cheated.
You're one to talk.
Guess we've both
got ourselves into a mess.
You're right.
I cheated, too.
I was wrong.
And I've lost
my best friend again.
Perhaps not, hmm?
Rocky!
Shh.
He wants you to lock it
again with your eyes...
Using the mirrors
When they're both
In the back of the truck.
Come on, Tony!
Don't just stand there!
Come on. Help me!
We've got one more load,
And we're done!
Take this.
Put it in! Put it in!
Over here!
We need to go.
I can't do it.
It's too far away.
I saw what you did in the studio
With the big magnifying glass.
Iris identification.
Apply lock.
Aah!
Yes.
Oi!
It worked!
That little monster.
Molly, you did it!
Rocky, that was brilliant!
Let's get you out of there.
get away with this!
What about him?
I don't think he's
a problem anymore.
You have to open this door now.
But we do have
to deal with them.
Hey, talk to your boy!
Nocky!
You know, they took
their glasses off.
Look, man,
listen to your mother!
Aw, they look happy now.
We've got to get those jewels back,
don't we, Nockman?
Yeah.
Mystery surrounds the discovery
Of two notorious criminals
Found in Trafalgar Square
this morning.
Police believe they masterminded
Yesterday's
Shorings Bank robbery.
The jewels from the heist
were recovered
Along with 847 garden gnomes.
Now there's a Christmas puzzle
to solve.
So tell them you're going to Briersville,
hmm,
And they'll tell you
where to change trains.
So what are you going
to do now, Nockman,
Find another bank to rob?
No. I don't want to
end up like my Mum.
In prison.
She's all I had.
You must have friends.
We can be your friends.
You know where we are.
Come and visit us.
Thank you.
I will.
Okay, now come on.
You'll be late.
Merry Christmas.
Did we spend all of the reward
money on Christmas presents?
Yes, we did.
It looks deserted.
Oh, I hope
everything's all right.
We weren't away for that long.
When Gerry called,
now I think about it,
He sounded so worried.
Oh, dear, where is everybody?
Molly! Rocky!
Jinx!
Petula!
Molly! Rocky!
You're home!
We missed you.
Yay! Molly!
What are you doing back here?
I thought you were adopted.
I'd rather be here.
We thought you left us, Molly.
No!
London was amazing,
But there was something missing.
Spaghetti?
No, not spaghetti, Ruby.
You.
I missed all of you.
Wow.
Even you, Hazel.
Thanks, Molly.
Do we all get presents?
Of course.
There's something for everyone.
We all get presents!
Where's Adderstone?
She's in her room.
She hardly ever
comes out anymore.
So who's looking after you?
I am.
Oh, Mrs. Trinklebury!
Come here.
Rocky.
I came back this morning
When I heard
what had been going on.
Had to make sure all you
sprouts were all right.
Adderstone was horrible to you.
I think she's forgotten
about that.
She's not been quite herself.
Well, anyway,
she's leaving today.
Miss Adderstone.
Molly Moon.
Are you still hypnotized?
I'm just waiting for a taxi.
I think I've been making
a bit of a fool of myself,
And I know I haven't
been very nice to you.
Molly...
There's something
I should have given to you
That I never have.
Sorry.
When you were found
on the doorstep...
This was in the box with you.
Your mother wanted to keep you,
but she couldn't.
She did love you, Molly.
That's for certain.
Now... Now go back,
and join the others.
"My darling daughter."
Haven't seen you for some time.
I have something of yours.
Thank you, Molly.
I hope it helped.
How did you know?
It has.
I mean it really has.
It's funny how it has a way of
getting into the right hands.
You left it there for me
to find, didn't you?
Well, sometimes it needs a little
help finding the right person.
Who are you?
I'm just the librarian.
Now hadn't you
better be getting back?
It's Christmas Eve.
I probably should.
Thank you.
You're very welcome.
Oh, and Molly?
It wasn't the hypnotism
that made you special.
It was you.
There was
one more thing to sort out.
Mrs. Trinklebury.
Hmm?
We need to ask you something.
We love you,
And we need you here.
Please would you
stay and look after us?
I'd love to.
Sometimes you must go
To a place far away
See things you don't know
The games you must play
To find your way home
I dropped in a nest
Got into a mess
Was put to the test
You guys are the best
I found my way home
Well, I've been down
below the ground
Couldn't see
the stars were shining
Way up above
With so much love
Didn't know the world
was calling
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Didn't know
the stars were shining
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Didn't know
the world was calling
And I'm shouting out
with the loudest light
A shooting star
is here tonight
I can see it all
like a satellite
A shooting star
is coming home tonight
She said, "Believe"
It's all in me
Didn't know
that words have meaning
A fantasy
Can make it be
Couldn't see
the world was pining
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Didn't know
the stars were shining
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Didn't know
the world was calling
And I'm shouting out
with the loudest light
A shooting star
is here tonight
I can see it all
like a satellite
A shooting star
is coming home tonight
My satellite
Is burning bright
My satellite
My satellite
Is burning bright
My satellite
And I'm shouting out
With the loudest light
A shooting star
is here tonight
I can see it all
like a satellite
A shooting star
is coming home tonight
And I'm shouting out
with the loudest light
A shooting star
is here tonight
I can see it all
like a satellite
A shooting star
is coming home tonight
And I'm shouting out
with the loudest light
A shooting star
is here tonight
I can see it all
like a satellite
A shooting star
is coming home tonight
Believe in myself
I believe in myself
I'm like no one else
If they could see
for themselves
I'm a star
I'm a star
that shines so brightly
That's me
There are places
that I long to see
I've only pictured them
and make believe
All those people
that will let me be
The one and only me
Taking one step at a time
To claim
what was always mine
If I listen to the stars,
they say
It's my night
It's my day
Believe in myself
I believe in myself
I'm like no one else
If they could see
for themselves
I'm a star
I'm a star
that shines so brightly
That's me
