## Dialogue

    Ollie Dee: Good morning, master.
    The Toymaker: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, GOOD MORNING?! You know, you're half and hour late? If it happens again, it means instant dismissal. Get to work.
    [They began to work on. Ollie tries to paint the wood horse and Stannie paints the rabbit eyes. He tries to talk to him.]
    Stannie Dum: Say, aren't you gonna ask him about the money to pay off the mortgage.
    Ollie Dee: I can't ask him now, Don't you see what a bad humor he's in?
    Stannie Dum: Well, If we don't get that money, Mother Peep's gonna be turned out of his shoe and she won't have any place to sleep. We can't let her do that.
    Ollie Dee: Why, If I ask him now, he'll jump right down my throat.
    Stannie Dum: But, I thought you and he are just like that.
    Ollie Dee: We are!
    Stannie Dum: Well, why don't you ask him?
    Ollie Dee: Why don't YOU ask him?
    Stannie Dum: Well, I can't ask him.
    Ollie Dee: Why?
    Stannie Dum: Well, he and I are just like that.
    Ollie Dee: Oh, don't be silly. He likes you better than he does me.
    Stannie Dum: Does he?
    Ollie Dee: Yeah... He told me he did.
    Stannie Dum: Does he?
    Ollie Dee: Yeah.
    Stannie Dum: [to the Toymaker] Oh, master?
    The Toymaker: What?
    Stannie Dum: Ollie wants to speak to you.
    The Toymaker: Well, what is it?
    Ollie Dee: Well, could I speak to you privately please, sir? I've got a very important question, I want to ask you.
    The Toymaker: Don't bother me now, Can't you see that I'm busy? Go on with your work.
    Ollie Dee: Well, if you knew how important it was, you see'd me privately because if you--
    The Toymaker: WILL YOU SHUT UP AND GO ON WITH YOUR WORK?! [bangs the mallet, Stannie turns on the choo-choo train, it moves, pushes the paint can and spills at the Toymaker]
    Little Bo-Peep: Tom-Tom, I don't know what mother will do, if they were really lost.
    Tom-Tom: Aw, don't worry. They'll be found. You've lost them before, haven't you? As a matter of fact, the last month, you've lost them five times.
    Little Bo-Peep: Oh, I couldn't have?
    Tom-Tom: Yes, you did. And four times the month before that. You see? You're getting worse. [Bo-Peep nods, sniffles] What you need to someone to help you look after the darn things.
    Little Bo-Peep: Who, for instance? [sniffles]
    Tom-Tom: Oh, He'd have to be most unusual, energetic, resourceful and with any amount of patience. A fellow sort of... Well, like me. [She turns to him, scoffs and she turns back] Not interested? [She shakes her head] Not even a little bit? [She shakes her head again, He opens the foot stocks, grabs her ankles, closes them] And I'll just keep you there until you are interested.
    Santa Claus: Hello, everybody! How's everything! And how are my two boys?
    Ollie Dee: Hello, Mr. Santie.
    The Toymaker: Can't wait until you see the wooden soldiers we made for you. The finest piece of work, we've ever turned out!
    Santa Claus: Splendid!
    The Toymaker: Yeah. Ollie? Go bring one of them in.
    Ollie Dee: Yes, sir! [to Stannie] You'd better help me. They're heavy. We'll bring them right out, Mr. Santie!
    Silas Barnaby: You see, child? Such folly. Wasting your affection on a common pignapper.
    Little Bo Peep: Let me go, let me go! Tom-Tom is innocent and you know it! I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU!!!
    Ollie Dum: Just a minute, just a minute!
    Citizens of Toyland: Little Elmer!
    Old King Cole: Silence.
    Ollie Dum: Mr. Majesty, Tom-Tom is innocent. We found Little Elmer in Barnaby's Cellar!
    Citizens of Toyland: [gasps] Let's get him!
