Mickey's Faithful Easter at the House of Mouse/Transcript

Transcript
(The movie opens in a cemetery during winter as we see Pete walking up to a cross-shaped gravestone that has his grandmother's name on it. As he sadly looks at the grave, we transition to the title card of the movie. Soon, we fade to a bouquet of lilies being held by Lilo. We then see Mushu come talk to us.)

Mushu: [to the viewers] Happy Spring everybody. I just love spring it's when Easter comes and we all get together at the House of Mouse to celebrate. If you ask me there's no better time then to come all the way from China and celebrate the hope of Easter with everybody you see.

[Then he sees Pete walkng toward him]

Mushu: Yipe!!

[Get jumps outta the way]

Mushu: Hey! Watch where you're walking you big Palooka!

(Pete doesn't hear him Then we dolly down the main city street. Vendors on street corners hawk their wares. The tons sing of Spring and Easter.)

Everyone: We sing this tune As flowers bloom And snow melts all away For Spring has sprung And with it comes Another Easter day.

Jasmine: The church bells ring, And birdies sing A great cacophony.

Jiminy Cricket: I celebrate With tea and cake

''The Cricket way for me. Aha!''

Pinocchio: I hunt and pick the colored eggs and fill my basket full.

Nani: That's my new hat You give it back Now aren't I beautiful?

(She takes back her hat and puts it on, only to get cracked eggs and egg yolk in her hair. Cut to Lilo and Stitch selling lilies to people.)

Lilo: Thank you, Poilce chief. We sure feel safe with you around!

Stitch: Yeah!

Cinderella: Good morning, Lilo and Stitch.

Stitch: Aloha!

Lilo: Buy a lily for Easter Oh buy one in delight, Just two pennies for a lily, and we'll smell them tomorrow morn. Lily for the Easter! Step right up! Buy a lily!

Stitch: Buy Lilly! Muga, muga!

Lilo: [sees Pete] Tuppeance for a lily, Pete?

Pete: How's that?

Lilo: A lily, Pete. For Easter!

Pete: This for Easter?

Lilo: Yes sir, it a symbol of a new life and-

Pete: But it's real. It wont last.

Lilo: Excuse me sir?

Pete: It'll be gone tomorrow. It's too fragile. (Shakes the flower's petals off.) See? (Takes out a plastic Easter egg.) This is what Easter is about. It's colorful, its pretty, its plastic. Now wouldn't you like this instead of your silly lily?

Lilo: Your grandmother loved flowers. She always bought a lily for Easter.

Pete: My grandmother made Easter! (Lilo rolls her eyes and walks away and Stitch follows) Well, just a moment young lady, you forgot to pay for that egg.

Lilo: I don't have any money!

Pete: (She throws the egg at Pete) Ouch.

(We see Lilo and Stitch walking until they sees Mertle and her Friends)

Lilo: Hi, guys!

Mertle: Oh, it's Weird-Lo.

Elena, Teresa and Yuki: Hi, Lilo.

Lilo: Huh? Why did you three say hello?

Teresa: What else? It's Easter time!

Elena, Teresa and Yuki: We Love Easter!

Lilo: Me and Stitch too.

Teresa: I guess it's one thing that we like that you like too that we can be nice to you about.

Lilo: Really? Well, are you ready for the Easter show at the House of Mouse tomorrow?

Yuki: Yeah!

Lilo: Where you guys off to?

Elena: We're on our way to the store to buy some Easter bonnets to wear tomorrow.

Mertle: Well i have one already. And it's got a mauve Easter egg on top.

Lilo: Mauve?

Mertle: It's a dark pink color.

Lilo: Oh.

Teresa: So what are you and your dog doing Lilo?

Lilo: We're selling lilies. Want one? Well, i'm selling them for two pennies for people but you guys are my friends so you can take some for free.

Mertle: Oh, please. Those things are not colorful.

Elena: I think they look nice. Me, Yuki and Teresa will take three.

Lilo: Here you go. I'll see you guys tomorrow at the House of Mouse.

[She and Stitch leave after that. Elsewhere at the airport Timon and Pumbaa are there waiting Timon's Ma and Uncle Max to get off the airplane they flew from Africa. They're visiting for Easter]

Timon: Ma. [hugs her] Uncle Max!

Pumbaa: So nice of you to come stay for Easter.

Timon's Ma: Oh this is so exciting! Timon, i'm so proud. I can't wait to see the Easter show tomorrow.

Uncle Max: Neither can i. But it's not gonna be exciting to relax at a show on Easter instead of digging tunnels.

Timon's Ma: Aw, come Uncle Max. You worry too much. Besides I love Easter! It's is a special Holiday.

[Lilo and Stitch arrive]

Lilo: Hi Timon. Hey Pumbaa. [Sees Timon's Ma and Uncle Max] Who are you?

Timon: This is my Ma and Uncle Max.

Pumbaa: They're visiting for Easter.

Timon's Ma: Hi.

Lilo: Hello. Nice to meet you. Want a lily? It will be two pennies.

Timon's Ma: Sure. [gives her two pennies and Lilo hands the lily to her] Thanks.

Lilo: You're welcome. Happy Easter!

Stitch: Aloha!

[They leave after that]

Timon's Ma: See?

Uncle Max: [sighs]

[Elsewhere at the store Woody walks by to see Mike and Sulley and Pooh and Tigger]

Woody: Good Morning guys.

Mike, Sulley, Pooh and Tigger: Good Morning Woody.

Woody: Where are you guys going?

Mike: Sulley and i are taking these Eggs to the House of Mouse for everybody to paint and dye for the egg hunt.

Pooh: Me and Tigger are...uh,? What are we doing?

Tigger: We're taking special straw to weave Easter baskets with and barrels of lemonade to drink.

Woody: Wonderful! I'll see you both at the House of Mouse.

[Mike and Sulley and Pooh and Tigger leave Meanwhile at the House of Mouse, Mickey his nephew Ferdie, Minnie, Daisy and Pluto are setting the House up for tomorrow.]

All: We sing this tune as rainbows bloom on eggs red, green and blue.

Daisy: Like colors in the windows when the sun comes shining through.

Minnie: ''The TV here is mighty here. A precious work of science,'' But patience, Daisy will see this glass tomorrow when Easter starts.

Mickey and Ferdie: ''The hope of Easter's coming to shine forth in the morn. It is coming now to bring us the gift of life reborn!''

[Pete walks by the House of Mouse]

Ferdie: (coughs) Hey Uncle Mickey, isn't that Old Man Pete?

Mickey: Ferdie! His name is just Pete. Could you hand me an O?

Ferdie: Sure. Is he really the richest man in town?

Mickey: Oh ha ha. I don't know about that but his family has owned most of the property around this house has for generations. How about a couple of R's now? Even the land this whole house sits on.

Ferdie: Here you go. Why don't you ever seen him in the audience here at the House of Mouse?

Mickey: I don't really know. I heard he used to come when she was little. His grandmother would bring him. I need an O now and W if you can find it.

Ferdie: (coughs) So why doesn't he come anymore? How about an upside-down M? Maybe he just doesn't like Easter.

Mickey: Oh, sure he does. Why he makes all of the Easter Eggs at his factory!

Ferdie: Yeah, but why doesn't he celebrate Easter with the rest of you. Doesn't he like the House of Mouse? Is he just plain mean?

Mickey: Now, Ferdie, he's never done any harm to us. Even if he had tried to shut down this place. Perhaps one day, he'll come to one of our shows. [gets an idea] Tell you what, Me and Pluto will go see him later and invite him ourselves to see the unveiling of the new House of Mouse TV screen tomorrow. In the meantime, you be respectful.

Daisy: Hey, isn't that Old Man Pete?

(Mickey rolls his eyes. Meanwhile at the Factory, mechanical chickens are laying plastic eggs for the factory. The eggs are loaded onto a cart. The cart is grabbed by a claw which then puts the eggs in a bowl. Then the eggs make their way through a pipe that leads them to a plunger that pushes them into a giant metal egg. Then the cart is put back on the rails. As it goes down the ramp, we see Donald and Goofy who are working there talking to each other.)

Goofy: You ask him.

Donald: Uh no, you ask him.

Goofy: I'm not gonna ask him.

Donald: But he was in your movies.

Goofy: That doesn't mean he likes me!

Donals: Look, Goofy, we've been working for Pete for more than a year now to help him prepare for something he's doing tomorrow for Easter. Right?

Goofy: Right.

Donald: And has he given us a single day off?

Goofy: No.

Donald: And it was your idea to take Easter Sunday off right?

Goofy: Right.

Donald: So we can do our jobs at the House of Mouse and see the new tv screen?

Goofy: Right!

Donald: So you should ask him.

Goofy: But..

(Before Goofy can speak, the front doors open. Pete walks into the factory.)

Donald: (clears throat)

Goofy and Donald: Morning, Mr. Pete, sir.

Pete: Morning Goofy. Donald.

(As Pete walks toward his office, Donald gives Goofy a little push, telling him to talk to his Pete.)

Goofy: Tomorrow's the big day huh, Pete?

Pete: Not as big as it'd be if folks didn't spend the day in night clubs instead of out buying more of my eggs.

Goofy: Right. Well, see ya.

(Goofy bumps into Donald)

Donald: What was that supposed to be?

Goofy: I don't know. I panicked!

Donald: Oh, let me handle this. Would you like the morning report, sir?

Pete: Oh, let me guess.

Donald: Egg production is up.

Pete: I said I wanted to guess.

Donals: And I'd say we have eggs a-plenty.

Pete: That depends on how you look at things. Is the egg tank half-full or half-empty?

Donald: The workers are happy, though a little bit tired.

(One mechanical chicken overheats.)

Pete: Ah. The satisfying fatigue of productivity.

Donald: And there will be a beautiful show at the House of Mouse tomorrow.

Pete: You think so, wouldn't ya?

Donald: All-in-all it should be a...glorious Easter. So um, Pete?

Pete: Don't you have chickens to tend?

Donald: Well, yes but first may I ask you a question?

Pete: Umm, no. (He goes into his office as Donald and Goofy follow.)

Donald: Umm...Pete. What I wanted to ask you was...Well...Everything is going so well...so couldn't we...umm...close up shop...Just for Easter?

Pete: What?! Close up shop? Do you know what that would mean?

Donald: Umm...

Pete: You know when my Grandmother started this factory?

Donald: Oh no, here comes the speech again. 113 years ago. Yeah, I know, sir.

Pete: 114! She was making Easter before you were born!

(Pete opens a photo album as a song starts.)

Pete: 114 Years ago, with one chicken and a coop,

my grandma started dyeing eggs for the local girl scout troop.

She started making money, and as the business grew,

she got more hens and colors and she knew just what to do.

She built herself a factory to do what she loved best

She kept on dyeing Easter eggs, but then you know the rest...

Donald: Yes sir, she...

Pete: ...I suppose it was bound to happen,

her age she could not hide,

More than 100 years of living,

and then one day she died.

(sniffs) But before she drifted off that day, she whispered in my ear,

those words I never shall forget, I still hear them loud and clear...

She said, "Petey..." She always used to call me Petey.

"Petey..I've taught you the family business, and with my dying breath.

I say you tell every single person, Easter means no death."

Now at first, this all confused me, 'til I realized

That as long as I make Easter eggs, It's like she's still alive.

(the egg-shaped music box plays a tune)

She built herself a factory to do what she loved best.

And I'll keep making Easter eggs, my one and only quest.

Pete: Tomorrow the town will see how I'm gonna make Easter even bigger and better! And Grandma will live forever, just like she wanted! So you see, we can't just stop the factory. That would let Grandma down.

Donald: But Petey, er...I mean Pete, sir, I...ah...

(There is a knock at the door. The door opens to reveal Mickey and Pluto.)

Mickey: Hello there! Mind if we come in?

Pete: That'll be all! Now get back to work.

Mickey: But I don't work here.

Pete: Well, I'm not hiring either.

Mickey: Oh, no. That's not why we're here. We came to...

Pete: Oh, it's you Mickey Mouse?

Mickey: Why, yes, it is. Yours truly.

Pete: So, why are you here?

Mickey: Well sir, I know your Grandmother used to bring you to the House of Mouse. She loved Easter so much.

Pete: Yes

Mickey: Then you'll come?

Pete: No.

Mickey: But you said...

Pete: I said, "Yes, my Grandmother loved Easter." What's not to love with the eggs and candy...?

Mickey: Oh, but Pete, we miss you at the Easter show.

Pete: If you ask me, you've got enough people locked up already! Sittin' in those mouse eared chairs when they should be out buyin' more eggs!

Mickey: I'm sorry?

[Mushu shows up]

Mushu: Hey, dude! That's no way to treat a mouse! Where's your since of Easter spirit?

Pete: Who asked you to butt in Dragon?!

[Mushu backs up and falls outta the window]

Mushu: Whoa!!

Pete: Look Mickey-I know my Grandma liked that night club, but I have no idea why. And since i own it now she never told me why. I need to make Easter bigger to keep her alive, and that House of Mouse is just in the way!

Mickey: What?!

Pete: And that's why I'm working on this.

(Pete brings in a model of the the House of Mouse with little figures of Mickey, Donald, Goofy and other toons.)

Everyone: OOooooooooo.

Goofy: Is that one supposed to be me? 'Cause I'm not that fat.

(Pete gives Goofy a dirty look)

Goofy: Sorry.

Pete: Tomorrow is my Grandma's birthday,

and she has given me a job to do.

So I've been savin' all my money to make her Easter dream come true.

Pete: (He shows everyone a promotional image for...) Easter World! Where Easter is forever! Ha! Don't you just love it?

Mickey: Easter World? What's that supposed to be? Is it like some kind of an amusement park or something?

Pete: Why Actually, Yes it is!

Goofy: Oooh! I love amusement parks!

(Pete shows more promotional images reading "Why wait till Spring? We got Easter!", "Egg-O-Rama Daily Hunts," and All you can eat Bunny and Jelly bean Buffet.")

Pete: Well, you're really gonna love this one.

I'll make Easter last all year long!

We'll have Easter Egg Hunts every day to please the massive throng!

Goofy: Throng?

Mickey: It means "lots of people."

Pete: Everyone will buy my eggs, And I'll give them more to munch.

They'll buy my yummy chocolate bunnies and jelly beans for Snack time, dessert!

Grandma will be proud of me for keeping her alive and dear.

The House of Mouse was her favorite place, so Easter world will be right here!

(Pete puts a model of Easter World on top of the House of Mouse. Then Mickey faints)

Pete: ''She built herself a factory to do what she loved best. And so I'm building Easter World. My one and only quest!''

Donald: But that's not what she meant! You can't do that!

Pete: Of course, I'll have to build a chocolate bunny factory, too.

Goofy: You can't tear down the House of Mouse!

Pete: Don't be silly. That land has been in my family for generations. And i own the building.

Mickey: If you just came to the show, you'd realize that....

Donald: You gotta talk to him!

Goofy: Ahem-Uh, Pete Easter is a time when-

Pete: -When I am interrupted, by people buggin' me

To come to the house, and buy lilles, and shut my factory!

But early tomorrow morning a crew will start at eight,

On knocking down that little house and building something great.

And folks will come from miles around on trains, on bikes, on legs...

''And Grandma will live forever! Just like my little plastic eggs!''

(Pete pushes a button that makes the chickens work faster.)

Goofy: Come on!

Donald: Don't do it!

Goofy: Pete, you can't do that!

Mickey: We can't let you tear the house down! Have you lost your mind?!

Donald: It's a really bad idea!!!

Mickey: Pete, please! You're making a big mistake!

Pluto: [growls angrily]

Pete: I don't care about your show or your tv's or your audience. I'm gonna build the world a place where Easter is a blast!

Donald: We won't let you do this!

Pete: Begone from me, naysayers! If you won't help me with my deed, get out of here and don't come back! I'll go unaccompanied!

(Hands Donald and Goofy pink slips.)

Donald: We're fired?!

Pete: Effective immediately!

At 8:00am the house comes down!

I'll show you without guilt!

The world would be a better place if that house was never built!

(The gates to the factory shut. Fade to Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Pluto are back at the House of Mouse having told Ferdie, Minnie and Daisy about what Pete is gonna do.)

Minnie: I can't believe it!

Ferdie: Old Man Pete. He cancelled Easter.

Mickey: That's Pete! And he hasn't done anything. Yet.

Donald: I knew it! I knew this was one of Pete's plots to destroy the club!

Ferdie: What are we gonna do?

Daisy: Ferdie's right Mickey we can't just let Pete tear down the house.

[Mickey thinks for a moment]

Mickey: Well, there is one think we can do. We just need to have faith. [He puts Ferdie on his shoulder] But we'll have to let the town know.

[We fade to the daily Disney the newspaper place as Donald and Goofy parted their ways with Mickey and Ferdie but Donald had a weird glint in his eye, like he was going to go something horrible, as if he was going to rob a bank... or worse.]

Mickey: I’ll be back soon, Ferdie.

[He goes inside to let them know about the House of Mouse and after a few minutes he come back out and he and Ferdie leave Then we fade to Lilo reading the newspaper outside of her hula school finding out what's gonna happen to the House of Mouse]

Lilo: [gasps]

[Mertle and her friends arrive]

Mertle: Hey, Weird-Lo.

[Lilo doesn't listen to her she jus looks down in worry]

Teresa: Why do you look so worried, Lilo?

Lilo: I have tell you something. Something awful. You know Pete the big rich cat?

Mertle: Yeah? What about him?

Lilo: (gulps) ...He’s gonna tear down the House of Mouse tomorrow!

[Mertle and her friends eyes widen]

Elena: Tear down the House of Mouse?!

Stitch: Yeah!

Yuki: But... why would he do that? Doesn’t he realize that if the House of Mouse goes, so does our hula school?!

Lilo: Yeah, i know. The House of Mouse sponsors our hula school.

Mertle: Where will we go to learn hula?

Teresa: What will become of us?

Lilo: I don't know.

[She, Stitch and the Hula girls look very sad Then we fade to a lot of other Disney and Pixar characters reading about the House of Mouse and they are all worried. Even Timon, Pumbaa, Timon's Ma and Uncle Max]

Uncle Max: Well i think we all know what's gonna happen to us now.

Timon's Ma: Uncle Max! Don't start!

Uncle Max: Now everybody in town don't get to watch cartoons together again.

Timon: He has a point.

Timon's Ma: Well, i know it's pretty bad but, i'm not so depressed.

Timon: Ma, how could not so depressed about this? Pumbaa and i have been hanging out at the House of Mouse ever since opening night.

Pumbaa: Yeah.

Timon's Ma: Well, you two just need to have Faith. Mickey did say that.

[Timon and Pumbaa look at each other knowing she's right. We cut to night as Daisy is locking up the front doors to the House of Mouse. She looks up at the building and gets a little misty. When she sees Lilo and Stitch)

Daisy: Ah. You're up awfully late, Lilo and Stitch.

Lilo: Yes, Daisy. But is it true what they're saying about the House of Mouse?

Daisy: Yes, Lilo. It's true.

Lilo: But what's going to happen? What about the my hula school? What will become of us?

Daisy: (sighs) Let me see your school, Lilo.

Lilo: Well alright. Nani is suppose to be picking me up there.

(Daisy follows Lilo and Stitch to the hula school. Meanwhile, Mickey is is putting Ferdie to bed)

Mickey: Amen.

Ferdie: (coughs) Amen.

Mickey: Now, you get to sleep. It's late and we've all got a big day tomorrow.

Ferdie: Uncle Mickey?

Mickey: Yes?

Ferdie: I'm still really worried about Old Man- I mean Pete tearing down the House of Mouse. What do we do?

Mickey: Now Ferdie, as crazy as it sounds, you have to have Faith.

Ferdie: Faith? Faith for what?

Mickey: Faith that no matter what happens, God is taking care of us.

Ferdie: I guess so but...

Mickey: Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Good night, Ferdie. I love you.

Ferdie: I love you too, Uncle Mickey.

(Outside Ferdie's bedroom, Mickey feels a bit worried about Ferdie. Minnie feels the same. Meanwhile, Lilo and Stitch is taking Daisy to the hula school Then Nani arrives to pick Lilo and Stitch.)

Lilo: We'd better go. We need to let Nani know about the House of Mouse.

[They jump into Nani's budgy and they ride off as we fade back to Pete's factory where he is looking at his plans for Easterworld]

Pete [sleepily]: The concession stand will go here... and the gift shop... (pause) It's gonna be great, Grandma. You'd really like it... I'll put your picture... [yawn] right over the door...

[His head hits the back of his chair. He's out. After a pause, we hear soft snoring. A few shots of details around the room... the clock (10:45PM)... a tin-type photo of grandma... another detail... then back tight on Pete sleeping on his desk. The only sound in the room is his snoring and the ticking of the mantle clock. Suddenly a voice breaks the stillness.]

Grandma Pete: Pete. Pete? Pete! Wake up!

Pete: Huh? Who said that? Hello?

Grandma Pete: It's me, Petey! C'mon... wake up, already!

Pete (very nervous): Huh?

Grandma Pete: It's me! Only been gone a few months... forget my voice already?

[Then we see his grandmother in the painting when he's not looking, Then she leans in and yells...]

Grandma Pete: Surprise!

Pete: Whoa!!!! Ahh! [hides behind his desk]

Grandma Pete: Petey? Don't recognize me? It's you old Grandma.

Pete: [Peek from behind the desk and looks closely] Grandma! It is you. But, you're a ghost!

Grandma Pete: Nonsense! There's no such thing as ghosts You're just having a vision.

Pete: Uh, a vision?

Grandma Pete: A vision! It's like a dream, with a point!

Pete: A point?

Grandma Pete: Which is exactly what you've missed!

Pete: Huh?

Pete: Oh, Petey, why didn't you listen?

Pete: Wha-huh? To what?

Grandma Pete: Oh...

You didn't listen, Petey,

Pete: To What? To Who?

Grandma Pete: To what I wanted you to learn...

Pete: What? I don't remember you telling...

Grandma Pete: I'm like the guy ignored by Caesar...

Pete: Huh? Caesar?

Grandma Pete: ...Who knew that Rome was gonna burn!

Pete: What's Rome got to do with any-

Grandma Pete: You didn't listen, Petey..

Pete: Ah, yeah, you said that...

Grandma Pete: That's why my nose is out of joint!

Pete: Huh? Well, your nose looks just fine...

Grandma Pete: I know you aren't a people pleaser...

Pete: I-I guess that's true...

Grandma Pete: But you really missed the point!!

Pete: Uh...what point?

Grandma Pete: Easter! The point! Ya got it all backwards and upside down!

Pete: Whadya mean?! How's it s'posed to go?

Grandma Pete: [she opens her mouth as she was going to tell him but then she says...] I'm not going to tell you.

Pete: What?

Grandma Pete: "A lesson learned is soon returned. A lesson lived is wisdom gived."

Pete: Ah..."Gived?"

Grandma Pete: What? I'm dead! Cut me some slack! Petey- you are in for a wild ride!

Pete: Huh?

Grandma Pete: At the stroke of midnight, you will receive a second visitor! Hold on tight!

(Thunder booms and lightning flashes as Pete is suddenly back in his chair. He gets up, quivers, looks up at the photograph and sighs with relief. Suddenly, he hears the sound of a trashcan being knocked down.)

Pete: Huh? Who's there? If you're the visitor, you're... you're early!

(Cut to the outside of the factory as we see Donald and Goofy dressed as burglars. Goofy had bumped into the trashcan. Also there is a spring snowstorm happening)

Donald: Would you try to keep it down?

Goofy: Sorry, I think I stepped in a gopher hole, or something.

Donald: Come on, we don't have a lot of time.

Goofy: Why do we want to break in the factory again?

Donald: (stammering) We have to get those plans! No plans, no Easterworld, no Easterlworld, and they don't have to tear down the House of Mouse! It's bad enough that the house was snowed in and taken over by villains, I'm not gonna let the house be knocked down, too!

Goofy: I still don't feel very good about stealing the plans.

Donald: Goofy, we're not stealing the plans. We're just borrowing the plans!

Goofy: Right! Well, then why are we dress as burglars then? Burglars steal things you know?.

Donald: Goofy, we've gotta save that House of Mouse! Come on now, hoist me up!

Goofy: Okay! (Hoists Donald up.) Ow! You're stepping on my... Ouch!

Donald: Just a little higher!

Goofy: Ow, you're slipping!

Donald: Well, if you could just...(Donald falls) Whoa!

Goofy: Sorry, try again?

(Cut back to Pete as he tries to sip his tea. While doing so, Mushu peeks from behind the chair)

Mushu: Boo!

Pete: Ahhh! [jumps up in his chair then falls down and looks at Mushu in annoyance]

Mushu: [laughs] You thought i was a...

Pete: Why are you still in my factory?!

Mushu: I'm still in your factory because there's this big spring snowdrift blocking the exit!

[Pete's eye widen the he facepalms]

Pete: That means i'm stuck with you till Eight in the morning!

Mushu: Look on the bright side. We can weave Easter baskets, Make Easter eggs and Chocolate bunnies and jelly beans.

Pete: I thought you said there was a bright side.

Mushu: Aww, come on! Don't want some company while you wait for you visiter?

Pete: Wait! How did you know that?

Mushu: I heard from outside of the office. Now i'm gonna go make Easter baskets. [leaves office]

Pete: Humph!

He sits back down in his chair then he notices the clock has stroke 11:59.)

Pete: Yep, I'm just gonna stay awake! Not tired at all! I'm just gonna stay, wide...

(Pete falls asleep. Cut to outside as Goofy tries to lift Donald over the wall to enter the factory.)

Donald: Just a little bit.

Goofy: I can't quite...

Donald: No, no. J-Just an inch or two!

Goofy: I'm trying as hard as I can!

Donald: Got it! Goofy?

Goofy: (gasps) Act Casual!

Donald: Goofy? Goofy?!

Millward: Shhhh!

(The Poilce chief shows up and gives Goofy a suspicious look as he hums.)

Goofy: Hello!

(Goofy whistles as the constable leaves. Donald falls down on Goofy.)

(As the clock on the wall strikes twelve, the key on the egg begins to turn. As it slowly plays its simple tune, the egg opens up revealing a little angel named Faith. The shell of the egg becomes a skirt for her. She stretches, looks around, and flies over to a sleeping Pete. She taps his head as he snores. She whacks him on the head with her key.)

Pete: Ah! What? Hey! What? It's a BUG! A BIG Bug!

Faith: Do I look like a bug to you?

Pete: Hmm? You're... you're the Visitor?

Faith: Ding ding ding! Give the man a prize! Maybe you aren't as dense as they say.

Pete: So what are you doing here?

Faith: Maybe you are. Did you hear anything your grandmother said?

Pete: Uh, something about me missing the point, or something.

Faith: Yes, Pete - you've missed the point! The point of Easter, the point of that House of Mouse over there...

Pete: Oh, I know the point of that House of Mouse! I own that building and they try to keep people cooped up all Easter so they can't buy my eggs! That's why we'll all be better off without it!

Faith: Oh, It's gonna be a long night. Come on, let's get going! We've got some ground to cover.

(Pete starts flying over town thanks to Faith.)

Pete: Easy. What are we doing up here?! Take me back!

Faith: Not so fast, big fella. I've got lots to show you.

Pete: Ah. W-well... Could ya put it in a picture book, or maybe some slides?

Faith: Nice try. Look, you're going to see many things tonight. But mostly you're going to see that you are a first-class stinker. Oh, you're not a miser or a scrooge or anything like that. You just don't see what's right in front of you.

Pete: [gasps]

(He runs into the House of Mouse sign.)

Hope: Whoa! Here we are! Pete? Pete? Would you quit clowning around? We don't have all night.

Pete: Whoo! Oh-Ah! (Pete falls down) Oh, is this place still here? This is where I'm building Easter World, you know.

Faith: So I heard. After you.

(They enter the sanctuary. Pete spies an a doorman by the door.)

Pete: What's your name anyway?

Faith: It's Faith.

Pete: Hey! You gotta help me! I've been kidnapped by a bug! (The doorman doesn't respond.) What's the matter with that guy?

Faith: You're not really here.

Pete: Hmm? Hey, it's Grandma! Grandma! You're ok! What are you doing here?! (She doesn't respond.)

Faith: She can't hear you.

Pete (shouting): Hi Grandma! You feeling okay?!

Faith: You're not really here, Pete. This is Easter Past.

Pete: Easter Past? Oh. That's Grandma, alright. But, I don't remember that funny lookin' kid.

Faith: That's you. Now hush up and listen.

Pete: Ooo! That's my first Easter basket! I remember that!

(Young Pete opens a plastic egg to find nothing inside.)

Young Pete: Hey! It's empty.

Grandma Pete: Yes, just like the tomb in the story. Now listen here, Pete. This is important!

Young Pete: But there's nothing here.

Grandma Pete: Oh look! Look!

Young Pete: Not even a jelly bean.

(Young Pete present Pete and Hope look up. The tv screen portrays a Nativity scene. Young Pete glances up for a moment.)

Young Pete: Christmas?

Pete: Christmas?

Grandma Pete: Yes, that's where the story begins. You can't have one without the other. You see, that baby boy born so long ago...

Pete: Hey, buddy. Wanna buy an Easter egg?

Pete: Boy, listen to your Grandma! She's only trying to help you, you know. (to Hope) He won't listen to anybody.

Faith: Yeah, I noticed. Come on. Nothing more to see here.

(Young Peteis shown counting coins.)

Pete: I still don't understand that Christmas thing. Sure was a pretty picture, though.

Faith: Seems a pity you're going to knock it down.

Pete: Yeah. Can I go home now?

(Pete leaves the church and enters his office. He looks and thinks that his journey is over so soon.)

Pete: Oh! Great! Well, thanks for a very lovely evening! I sure did learn a lot... but I've got a business to run, so be sure to say "hi" to your little bug friends for me, okay? (Sees his past self.) What? Huh? Well now you messed things up! I've got TWO of me!

Faith: Hang on, this is still Easter Past. A year ago. Don't you remember this day?

(Pete from one year ago sadly looks up at the photo of his grandmother.)

Past Pete: Oh, Grandma, the chickens have been slowing down since you... Um, since you... ah... But I've got a plan.

(There is a loud knock at the door. Pete, Hope and Past Pete turn. Ludwig Von Drake enters, carrying a strange mechanical contraption.)

Past Pete: Professor Von Drake! Thanks for coming! What's that?

Ludwig Von Drake: Ah! Why it's my newest invention! The Easter-ma-phonia!

Past Pete: Oooh! How's it work?

Ludwig Von Drake: Well, you just throw this lever and watch the fun!

(Ludwig Von Drakethrows the lever and the contraption clacks out a strong tempo as two bunnies and lilies frolic mechanically, Pete takes a fancy to the tempo.)

Past Pete: Mmmm... I like that crazy beat!

Ludwig Von Drake: Yeah, ha ha ha ha! So, ah... you called for an inventor?

Past Pete: ''Why yes I did, Seymour. Ya see I got a little problem.''

Ludwig Von Drake: Problem?

Past Pete: Problem.

Ludwig Von Drake: Problem.

Past Pete: Yes I got a little problem with my chickens.

Ludwig Von Drake: Chickens?

Past Pete: Birds!

Ludwig Von Drake: Burds.

Past Pete: Birds.

''Ludwig Von Drake: Well, I don't know why you called me, then. I'm a professor, and I don't know much about burds.''

Pete: Burds?

Faith: Burds.

Ludwig Von Drake: Yup, and I don't know nothin' much about burds.

Past Pete: ''Well, that's exactly why I called you, friend. I need a way to make eggs round the clock. Tick-tock! These real chickens always need a rest. Ya see, they don't last.''

Ludwig Von Drake: But where do I come in?

Past Pete: Well I hear you're a whiz when it comes to inventin'.

Ludwig Von Drake: Inventin'?

Past Pete: ''Inventin'. Mechanization. Industrialization.''

Gopher: Inventing things sure is fun.

Past Pete: Well, what I need my friend is a row of chickens.

Ludwig Von Drake: Chickens?

Past Pete: ''Chickens. Mechanical chickens as far as the eye can see.''

Ludwig Von Drake: Burds.

Past Pete: You catch on quick.

Ludwig Von Drake: But what about the eggs?

Past Pete: Eggs?

Ludwig Von Drake: ''Eggs! Eggs!''

Past Pete: What about the eggs?

Ludwig Von Drake: Can a tin chicken lay real eggs?

Past Pete: Plastic.

Gopher: Plastic?

Past Pete: ''Plastic, my friend. In whatever color you can think it.''

Ludwig Von Drake: Plastic.

Past Pete: Plastic.

Faith: Plastic.

Past Pete: Yes, with mechanical chickens and plastics eggs I can make Easter bigger than before.

Ludwig Von Drake: Easter?

Past Pete: ''Easter. Yes, Easter.''

Ludwig Von Drake: Wait a minute! (Closes the contraption.) You can't make Easter bigger with plastic eggs!

Past Pete: (opens up the contraption) What I said my friend is...

Seymour: (closes it again.) No no no no no no! You got it all wrong!

Ludwig Von Drake: Whaddya mean?

Ludwig Von Drake: Easter's not about plastic eggs and bunnies and baskets!

Past Pete: But isn't Easter supposed to last forever?

Ludwig Von Drake: Of course!

Past Pete: And doesn't plastic last forever?

Ludwig Von Drake: Well yeah, but...

Past Pete: I don't see the difference!

Ludwig Von Drake: Well it's kinda...

Past Pete: (opens the contraption again.) Inventing things sure is fun.

Ludwig Von Drake: How's that?

Past Pete: I said inventing things sure is fun.

Ludwig Von Drake: Plastic?

Past Pete: Plastic.

Faith: Plastic.

Past Pete: Chickens!

Ludwig Von Drake: Burds.

Past Pete: ''Chickens! Layin' eggs all night long.''

Gopher: Chickens.

Past Pete: Chickens.

Ludwig Von Drake and Past Pete: Burds!

Past Pete: Chickens!

Gopher: Chickens!

Past Pete and Ludwig Von Drake: Burds!

Past Pete: Mechanical chickens!

(Faith gives Present Pete a sour look.)

Pete: What?

Faith: Did you even pay him?

Pete: I gave him an annual pass to Easter World. 10% off at the gift shop.

Faith: Oh, that's generous.

Pete: You think?

Faith: Out you.

(They exit the office and end up outside the factory.)

Pete: Oh my. It's night again. You stop messing with the lights. So uh, what happened here?

(As Faith and Pete talk, Donald and Goofy, still trying to get in, are using a seesaw to get over the wall, but it doesn't work.)

Faith: This isn't your past, Pete. This is the present.

Pete: (gasps) A present? For me? Awww, you shouldn't have.

Faitt: No, not a present, the present. Easter Present. The here and now. Oh, lovely. Let's go for a ride.

(She touches Pete's coat and they rise out of frame.)

Goofy: Okay, okay. I got another idea.

(They land in front of Lilo's house.)

Pete: What's this place?

Faith: Listen.

[We fade into Lilo's house where she is drawing a picture of her, her friends at her hula school. As she is still worried about where she and her friends will practice hula after the House of Mouse is teared down]

Lilo: [sighs]

Stitch: [sighs]

[Then Nani come in]

Nani: Lilo, you're still up?

Lilo: Mmm hmm. I'm still think about the House of Mouse.

Nani: Is it true that Pete is gonna tear it down tomorrow?

Lilo: That's what read in the newspaper. Me and the hula girls are really worried about what gonna happen tomorrow.

Nani: Well, I think you and Stitch should get some sleep and not think about it. Besides we have a big day tomorrow.

[She kisses Lilo and Stitch goodnight]

Lilo: Good Night Nani.

Nani: Good Night Lilo.

[She leaves the room as Lilo and Stitch go to sleep. Pete still doesn't understand though]

Pete: Humph! I don't see what that little girl has anything to do with me.

(Then Faith touches Pete's coat and they rise out of frame again and this time they go to Mickey's house.)

Pete: Oh. where are we now?

Faith: Look.

Daisy: Well if Pete really knew how his Grandmother felt, he wouldn't touch that the House of Mouse.

Pete: I wouldn't?

Mickey: No, she sure loved that old place. Did you know she paid for all those chairs that have ears like me?

Daisy: Uh huh.. And the new tv screen we were going to unveil tomorrow, she commissioned it just before she passed away.

Mickey: She sure would've loved everyone to see it. Now Pete's gonna knock the whole thing down, I should've talked with him more.

Minnie: Mickey, this isn't your fault.

Daisy: No, it's that old sour Pete's fault. Why I'd like to take that old coal cat and teach him a thing or two. I'd weave his Easter basket into a pretty bucket of fish, I'd... I'd... ...I guess he just needs to get out of that factory and find out what Easter is about.

Pete: What a ninny. The factory is what Easter is all about. The eggs, the baskets...

Faith: You don't get it, do you?! They're talking about the hope of Easter! The hope of Easter changes everything! If you take it away, you won't like what you'll get.

Pete: I'll get a lot more time for folks to buy eggs, that's what I'll get! And I'll get to build Easter World and keep my Grandma alive forever!

Faith: Hrrrrg!!

Ferdie: (coughs) Aunt Minnie? Uncle Mickey?

Mickey: Ferdie! You're supposed to be asleep.

Ferdie: I know, but I couldn't sleep and, well, I've been thinking.

Mickey: Yes?

Ferdie: Mr. Pete isn't a bad man.

Pete: What a sweet little boy.

Ferdie: No! He just doesn't have something that we all have. The thing that lets us celebrate Easter all year long. (coughs loudly)

Minnie: Come on, Edmund. You shouldn't be out of bed.

Pete: What's going on? How sick is he?

Faith: Very sick, I'm afraid.

Pete: Well, is he gonna...[gulps]..be alright?

Faith: If nothing changes, this will be his last Easter.

Pete: (gasps) Well, when are the doctors gonna tell his aunt and uncle?

Faith: They already know.

Pete: What? They know?!

Faith: Yeah.

Pete: But they're so calm! How can they be so calm?! I don't... I don't understand!

Faith: Pete, are you ready to listen?

(Pete just nods his head, and the background behind him fades to black before fading to the inside of the House of Mouse.)

Pete: Where... Where am I?

(Faith starts to sing. During the song, we see the new tv screen showing a video of the life of Jesus.)

Faith: ''There's a story that started on Christmas When a baby was born in the night And those who came far who followed the star Were seeing a heavenly sight. A heavenly sight''

Well, the years hurried by and the boy, now a man Could make the blind see with a touch of His hand He was born to be King, He was Rabbi and Priest But the best that He had, He gave to the least He gave to the least

''He was born and He died, almost 2,000 years ago He laughed and He cried, He felt all the fears we know But what does it matter? A story so strange Even if it is true, what does it change? What does it change?''

Though He spoke like a prophet, like no one they'd heard This simple young carpenter, crowds hung on every word He hated injustice, He taught what is right He said, I'm the way and the truth and the light

His friends soon believed that truly He was the one The Savior, Messiah, God's one and only Son But others they doubted, they did not agree So they took Him, they tried Him He died on a tree, He died on a tree

Pete: That's not a happy ending! Where's the hope in that?

Faith: If that was the end of the story, there'd be no hope. But it isn't.

(We then see the last part of the video showing Jesus' resurrection.)

Faith: God has made a way For all who mourn and grieve Death will never be the end If you just believe

There is nothing left to fear Nothing Heaven knows For He died for us to give us life And to give us hope He rose

He died for us to give us life And to give us hope He rose

(The song ends.)

Faith: The hope of Easter is life Everlasting. If you believe in who he is and what he did for you,

Pete: [thoughtfully] You mean Faith I don't need to build Easter World to keep my Grandma alive?

Faith: Pete, your grandmother believed. And her mother. And her mother's mother before her. They're all together now... and some day, you will join them. If you believe. And the reason why she loved the House of Mouse so much is cause everyone in town here gets together to have fun and connect with each other. [Pete seems to understand now] Of course, we all have to live with our decisions.

Pete: Huh?

Faith (imitating Pete): "The world would be a better place if that house was never built!"

Pete: What? Oh, oh, that. I...

Faith: I'm afraid it's time to see what this town would be like without the hope of Easter. Welcome to Easter Future.

(Just then there is a thunderous crash, as a wrecking ball smashes through the new tv screen behind them. Peter turns to see shards of blue glass fall. He is frozen in terror.)

Pete: Oh! Oh Dear!

Faith: Come on, we've got to get out of here!

(They both exit the House of Mouse. Suddenly, Peter falls and lands on the sidewalk in front of Lilo.)

Lilo: Please sir, would you buy a pencil? (Holds a can of pencils in front of Pete.)

Pete: You can see me?

Gopher: Alright, now get out of here, you little werido!

Lilo: I've got no where to go, sir, but bless you! And i'm not a weirdo.

Pete: What? I- I don't understand! Isn't she suppose to be at her hula school?

Faith: She was, but the hula school was sponsored by the House of Mouse. No House of Mouse, no faith - No hula school.

Lilo: Hey, my pencils! (A thief has stolen the pencils)

Theif: (laughing)

Pete: Hey, somebody stop him! (Stitch chase after him) Oh, he's getting him. (Sees them passing the police officer from earlier) Oh, he'll get him too!

Police Chief: Stop, Thief!

Theif: Oh yeah? What are you going to do about it?

Police Chief: Uh, Nothing. Nothing at all.

Theif: Ha, ha, ha, ha!

(Stitch continues to chase him)

Pete: I don't get it. Why..?

Faith: What do you think made him brave in the first place? Without the hope of Easter, why would anyone risk their life for someone else?

Pete: No more. Faith, show me no more!

Faith: We're not finished I'm afraid.

(Pete and Faith then come to the cemetery.)

Pete: Mickey. He's not wearing his tuxido... (thinks) Right. No House of Mouse.

Mickey: [sighs]

(Just then Mickey somberly turns and walks away, revealing the headstone he was standing before. Pete looks down and sees what he dreads - "Ferdie Mouse." Pete's face falls..)

Pete: Oh no, Don't tell me. No. What have I done? It can't end this way. We have to change it.

(Faith disappears back into the music box.)

Pete: Faith! Faith? Faith! Tell me it can change! Tell me it doesn't have to be this way! Faith! We need you!

(Pete hears a crashing sound. He sees the House of Mouse sign being destroyed by the wrecking ball. Pete runs up to the House of Mouse.)

Pete: I've gotta stop them! Stop! Stop! I've changed my mind!

(Pete stops and looks up to see the sign falling directly toward him.

Pete: NOOOOO!!!!!!!

(We cut to black for a few seconds then we fade to Pete shouting in his sleep in his chair.)

Pete: Faith! Help me! Help! I...[He wakes up] Huh? Why, [He looks around to see he's back in his office] I'm backing my office.

(He runs to the window and looks out. It's a beautiful Spring morning. He sees Ariel walking by.)

Pete: Huh? You there! Ariel!

Ariel: Yes, Pete?

Pete: What day is it?

Ariel: Today?

Pete: Yes, yes, yes today. What day is it?

Ariel: Why it's Easter Sunday.

Pete: (gasps) Easter Sunday! Easter Sunday! It never sounded sweeter! It's not too late after all! (gasps) The Church! I've gotta go! See you at the Easter show!

[He leaves the window as Ariel looks confused as Pete starts to run out of the office he goes back to his portrait of his grandma]

Pete: Oh, Happy Easter, Grandma!

(Pete runs out of his office excitedly taking Faith with him. We watch him run through the factory and out the door, where the chickens are still running insanely fast. As Pete disappears out the door, we pan over to see a pressure gauge, with the needle buried near the red zone. The needle shudders, and a spray of steam suddenly bursts out of the base of the gauge. Meanwhile, Donald and Goofy are still trying to get over the factory wall with Balloons.)

Goofy: It's not working. I can't go on... I can't go on... (Goofy collapses and Donald follows.)

Donald: No, we can't give up, Goofy! There must be some way to get in there!

Pete: Good morning, Donald and Goofy! Happy Easter! Nice balloons!

Donald: Huh? [sees he left the gate open] (gasps) Here's our break, Goofy! Okay, I'll get the plans. You keep watch.

Goofy: (noticing the heavy steam.) Oh, dear.

(Fade to the House of Mouse where Daisy is talking with a construction crew who are the beagle boys.)

Mickey: Thank you for coming so early, everyone, to what will be the last Easter Sunday we celebrate in this church.

(Closeups of several Disney and Pixar characters looking at each other sorrowfully, escpecially Lilo, Stitch, Nani, Mertle, her friends, Timon, Pumbaa, Timon's Ma, Uncle Max, Minnie and Ferdie as a murmur rises from the congregation.)

Mickey: Daisy is talking to the workmen right now to see if they'll give us just a few minutes. Hmm.

(Just then the doors burst open, and the sledgehammer wielding beagle boys enter.)

Big Beagle Boy 1: We are very sorry, Mickey, but we have our orders!

Small Beagle boy: This house, she must come down!

Mickey: Oh, gentlemen, please.

Big Beagle Boy 2: It is a crying shame, but you cannot stand in the way of progress!

(The congregation watches the workers Beagle boys in horror as the hammers rise.]

Lilo: I can't look!

[She covers her eyes. But before they can destroy the walls,....)

Pete: WAIT!!!!!

(Everyone startles and looks up.)

All: [gasp]

Pete: Don't touch this house!!!

[Lilo uncovers her eyes]

Mickey: Pete! What did you say?

Pete: I said don't touch this house!

(The Beagle boys lower their hammers.)

Nemo: Huh?

Dory: I'm i hearing things or did he just say don't touch this house?

Marlin: He said it alright Dory.

Pete: I know I told you to tear it down, that we'd all be better off without it, but I was wrong! I know that now! I thought Easter was about eggs and candy. But it's more than that! It's about hope! And Faith! The hope that this life isn't all there is, that dying isn't the end, it's a new beginning, If you believe. That's what my Grandma was trying to tell me! That's what this church has been telling people since before I was born!

(Everyone smiles)

Pete: I've seen what life would be like without the hope of Easter! And believe me, you don't wanna go there! No, this House of Mouse is staying right here, so everybody can hear about the hope of Easter! Just like my Grandma would want it.

(He give his music box to Ferdie. Ferdie smiles. Suddenly, Goofy runs in, nearly out of breath.)

Goofy: Somebody! Anybody! (panting) The factory! The chickens! It's all gonna blow!

Pete: What?

Goofy: We tried to turn off the chickens, but they're too hot. I got out okay, but Donald is inside! He's trapped!

Mickey: Someone, call the police!

Lilo: Call the fire department!

(At the factory, everything has begun to overheat, especially the mechanical chickens, as Donald quickly races out from the office while carrying the plans for Easterworld. Unfortunately, the exit gets blocked by a bunch of debris, leaving Donald trapped inside the factory.)

Pete: Donald?

Donald: Huh?

(Pete enters through the emergency exit.)

Pete: Donald!

Donald: Uunnnghghgh!d

(Donald panics. As Pete approaches, Donald's expression turns sour.)

Pete: Donald! Let's get...

Donald: Look here, Peter! I'll be silent no more! You can't have these plans! You can't build Easter World and you can't tear down that House of Mouse!

Pete: But, donald, I didn't come to save those plans or even this factory.

Donald: Oh no, you don't, Pete! I've waited a long time to say my peace and I'm gonna... I'm gonna... Ah, what?

Pete I came to get you.

Donald: You did?

Pete: Yes, Cavis, I did. Besides i'm not tearing down the House of Mouse anymore. No, come on!

(Donald throws away the plans and he and Pete run up to see the gauge.)

Pete: There isn't much time. Once that needle hits the red, we're done for!

(They head for the fire escape, but a small tank below the catwalk blows up, completely destroying their way out.)

Donald: Phooey! Too bad we can't fly.

Pete: Maybe we can quackers.

(Pete grabs a remote that controls one of the claws.)

Donald: Pete? What are you doing?

Pete: I'm making a few changes.

Donald: Hurry!

Pete: Okay, get in that cart!

Donald: What?!

(A claw grabs Donald and puts him in the cart. Pete holds the switch and gets in the cart. The crane arm starts spinning the cart around.)

Donald: I don't get it! How is going a claw ride going to get us out of here?!

Pete: You'll see! Just hang onto this and don't push the red button until I say so!

Donald: Shouldn't you have the controls?!

Pete: No! I have to watch that gauge!

(A small crowd of Disney characters along with Mickey and Goofy stands outside the factory.)

Goofy: All the exits are blocked! How are they gonna get out?!

Timon's Ma: What are we gonna do?!

Mickey: Don't worry, everyone! Our police officer is one of the bravest on the force!

(The Poilce chief yells and then charges forward to break down the doors, but unfortunately, he only succeeds in knocking himself silly.)

Timon: Ouch.

Goofy: Ah, officer down.

Uncle Max: What do we do now?

Yuki: Uh, Anyone wanna play ice hockey?

Lilo, Mertle, Elena and Teresa: Yuki!

(Cut back to inside the factory, where the crane keeps spinning the cart around as it goes faster.)

Donald: Is it time yet?!

Pete: No! We aren't going fast enough!

(The crane spins faster)

Donald: How's the needle?!

Pete Almost there!

(Donald starts to get dizzy. As the needle is moments away from touching the red mark, the crane is spinning at high speed. The giant egg tank starts shaking, steam bursts out of the tank and the mechanical chickens break down.)

Pete: Here we go! 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2...(the needle finally touches the red mark) Hit it!!!!

(Donald hits the button and the cart flies toward a window

Pete & Donald: Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!

(The cart flies out the window just as the factory explodes. Everyone starts following after the airborne cart.)

Pete & Donald: Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!

(The cart bounces across several houses before coming to a stop on top of a roof.)

Pete: Oh! We made it!

Donald: Heh, heh, heh, heh! Achoooo!

Pete & Donald: No, no, no! Aaaaaahhh!

Shopkeeper: Good morning, Geoffrey! Lovely day!

(The cart continues bouncing all over town, until it finally reaches the ground and stops in front of the church. Donald climbs out of the cart and kisses the ground in relief. Seconds later, it is now raining plastic Easter eggs as everyone is happy to see that Pete and Donald are all right, as well as the fact that Pete has finally seen the light about Easter and the House of Mouse.)

Mickey: Pete. Your, your eggs.

Pete: Huh... I guess they're all free this year.

(Mertle walks around catching eggs in her Easter bonnet.)

Lilo: This is even better than an Egg hunt!

Nani: it sure is Lilo.

Stitch: Oho!

[Pours an Easter basket of plastic eggs on Lilo's head]

Stitch: Happy Easter! Ha, ha ,ha, ha!

Lilo: [giggles]

Timon's Ma: This is beautiful. Isn't it Timon?

Timon: It sure is Ma.

Ferdie: Mister Pete? So, what are you going to do?

Pete: What am I gonna do? I'm gonna do what matters most. Mickey, with whatever money I've got left, I'm gonna help you decorate that hula school, and I'm gonna make sure that your nephew gets his medicine!

Mickey: Your grandmother would be proud.

Pete: I think she is.

Daisy: Well, how are you going to afford that? The factory's gone. It's all--!

(Then a huge banging sound startles everyone. They all look to where they heard the loud bang. The safe from Pete’s office has landed and broken some of the pavement from its heavy weight. A last egg falls and hits the safe’s door. This causes it to loosely open with a small creek, revealing Pete’s money, which turned out that it has survived the explosion of the factory.)

Pete: Well why are we standing around here? It's Easter Sunday!

Ferdie: And God blessed us, everyone!

Lilo: The House of Mouse is here stay!

Mertle: And so is our hula school!

Pumbaa: This calls for a song!

(As everyone sings Another Easter Day (Reprise), they all enter the House of Mouse to start the Easter show.)

All: ''We sing this tune as flowers bloom and snow melts all away. For Spring has sprung and with it comes another Easter day. The birdies sing and church bells ring, announcing our New Birth! We celebrate, the joyous date of heaven on Earth. Well, the hope of Easter's coming to shine forth in the morn. It is coming now to bring us the gift of life reborn!''

(Later, Pete approaches his Grandmother's grave again, this time with a more positive attitude, and places a lily on her grave.)

Pete: I'll see you later.

(Pete walks off after that, as Mushu look as the viewers)

Mushu: Don't you just love the holidays?

(Her winks at the viewers and the movie ends.)

(End of Transcript)
