1. 1x51 - "Open Book"
Copy !req
2. - Ooh.
- Ahem.
Copy !req
3. So, what did you think of the ending?
Copy !req
4. Uh... I thought it was
on page 917.
Copy !req
5. - I thought it was a disaster!
- Uh...
Copy !req
6. All the books leading up to
this seemed to be taking on and
Copy !req
7. subverting these witch tropes ...
really self-aware about
Copy !req
8. - being a pastiche, you know?
- Um...
Copy !req
9. But in the end, none
of that even mattered.
Copy !req
10. Lisa and her talking falcon,
rebels challenging the stifling
Copy !req
11. traditions of the magical
bureaucracy ... I loved that.
Copy !req
12. Then her falcon turns into
a human and they get married?
Copy !req
13. It completely dropped
all the anti-authoritarian
Copy !req
14. stuff and described her
wedding cake for 50 pages!
Copy !req
15. Yeah! That cake was
worthy of 20 pages, tops!
Copy !req
16. - There weren't even strawberries on it!
- I bet since the books got so
Copy !req
17. popular, the publisher put
pressure on the author to water
Copy !req
18. down the end for a larger
audience appeal.
Copy !req
19. Unlike art, the real world can't
always win against
Copy !req
20. the iron chains of authority.
Copy !req
21. - That's my theory, anyway.
- Hmm.
Copy !req
22. It's just disappointing,
considering I invested extra
Copy !req
23. money in the hardcover copies...
with maps.
Copy !req
24. I wish I could give
you a new ending.
Copy !req
25. The temple door ...
it opened for me!
Copy !req
26. I can make
anything I want in there!
Copy !req
27. I can make us a new ending!
Copy !req
28. Really?
Well, what are we waiting for?
Copy !req
29. - Uh... ta-da!
- Cool!
Copy !req
30. This is my mom's room.
I can control it, like this.
Copy !req
31. I want a tiny, floating
whale to give me some fin.
Copy !req
32. Unbelievable!
How does it work?
Copy !req
33. The room can make
stuff out of clouds.
Copy !req
34. - We can make anything.
- Anything?
Copy !req
35. How 'bout the infinity fair
from book 4, with merchants
Copy !req
36. from a million lands selling
goods from cultures long gone
Copy !req
37. - and yet to be?
- We should probably
Copy !req
38. keep it simple.
We don't want to overload the room.
Copy !req
39. How 'bout half the infinity fair?
Oh. That's still infinity.
Copy !req
40. Simple. Okay.
Well, what really matters
Copy !req
41. are the characters.
You should be Archimicarus.
Copy !req
42. Okay.
Room, I want to be a falcon!
Copy !req
43. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
44. Got to keep it simple.
Copy !req
45. Amazing!
Okay, my turn.
Copy !req
46. Room, I want to be Lisa.
Copy !req
47. Do I need to be more specific?
Copy !req
48. You were pretty general
with the falcon thing.
Copy !req
49. Oh, sorry.
I guess the room only makes
Copy !req
50. stuff when I want it.
Maybe this won't work after all.
Copy !req
51. Why don't you just have it
make a costume shop?
Copy !req
52. Oh, yeah! Good idea!
Copy !req
53. I want a costume shop!
Copy !req
54. Wow! This place has everything
even her childhood tunic!
Copy !req
55. Wait. You thought it was red?
Copy !req
56. Yeah, the color of
the setting sun!
Copy !req
57. The sun sets black
over the mines, Steven.
Copy !req
58. Are you gonna be young Lisa?
Copy !req
59. Well, if we're really
reworking this thing, I'm gonna
Copy !req
60. make the ultimate Lisa with the
best gear from every book.
Copy !req
61. Like, what if she never
lost her iron sword?
Copy !req
62. - Whoa!
- And the cloak and the clasp
Copy !req
63. - are too signature not to do.
- For sure!
Copy !req
64. And I always liked the
dragon whisker boots from
Copy !req
65. - the volcano stuff in book 3.
- Are you almost done?
Copy !req
66. - Wait a minute!
- Come out!
Copy !req
67. I want to see you!
Copy !req
68. - Whoa! You look awesome!
- Thanks!
Copy !req
69. Okay. Let's do this.
Copy !req
70. So, at the end of the series,
Lisa and her falcon familiar,
Copy !req
71. Archimicarus, are at the altar...
Copy !req
72. with a cleric...
about to get married.
Copy !req
73. But we don't want that ending.
So, instead ... hmm.
Copy !req
74. Uh... I-I don't know.
What do you think?
Copy !req
75. - Hmm. What do you think?
- Uh... well...
Copy !req
76. h-how 'bout a different
proposal, Lisa ...
Copy !req
77. a business proposal?
We can start a business together
Copy !req
78. and sell ... sell... turkey legs
to make money to help out
Copy !req
79. - our fellow rebel comrades!
- Yeah, that's great!
Copy !req
80. I want an umbrella with
that, if you would, room.
Copy !req
81. Turkey legs!
Get your rebel turkey legs!
Copy !req
82. Turkey legs!
You think it's okay for me
Copy !req
83. - to eat this if I'm a falcon?
- You are a bird of prey.
Copy !req
84. So, what should our next move be
Copy !req
85. - as business partners?
- You tell me.
Copy !req
86. Yeah?
Oh. Um...
Copy !req
87. Let's feed the wind lizard.
Copy !req
88. Look at this guy!
Copy !req
89. - He totally looks like a rebel!
- Wow! From book 4!
Copy !req
90. Now, I know he
lives in the mountains,
Copy !req
91. but he's just visiting
because he heard about
Copy !req
92. these turkey legs.
Lisa, would you like
Copy !req
93. - to do the honors?
- Okay.
Copy !req
94. - He ate the bones!
- Okay!
Copy !req
95. I guess our business is a success.
Copy !req
96. - If you think so.
- So, what now?
Copy !req
97. Didn't you have a bunch of ideas
that it needed to be more
Copy !req
98. - anti-authority and stuff?
- Sure.
Copy !req
99. Okay.
Copy !req
100. So... we're... we ...
we're stopped by the authorities
Copy !req
101. because ... because we're
selling without a permit
Copy !req
102. and we're not old enough to
drive a cart.
Copy !req
103. But these are, uh, free-range
turkeys, and they didn't listen
Copy !req
104. to anybody, and that's what
we're gonna do, right?
Copy !req
105. - Whatever you think.
- Really?
Copy !req
106. All right.
And then I think they...
Copy !req
107. don't like that...
and they attack us.
Copy !req
108. You can't stop us!
Copy !req
109. Geez!
These guys are corrupt.
Copy !req
110. - What should we do about 'em, huh?
- What do you think we should do?
Copy !req
111. C-Come on!
I'm really trying here!
Copy !req
112. How do you want the story to end?
Copy !req
113. How do you want the story to end?
Copy !req
114. I don't know.
I just wanted to do this for you.
Copy !req
115. This isn't really like you.
Copy !req
116. I ...
I don't want you to just
Copy !req
117. - do what I want.
- Uh... Uh... you want me to not
Copy !req
118. - d-do what you want?
- Connie, are you all right?
Copy !req
119. I want what you want ... what
Copy !req
120. you want ... want ... want ...
want ... want ... want ...
Copy !req
121. - want ... want...
- I want a tiny
Copy !req
122. floating whale to give me some fin.
Copy !req
123. I want a costume shop!
Copy !req
124. I want to see you!
Copy !req
125. want ... want ... want ...
want ... want ... want ... want...
Copy !req
126. - I-I created you.
- ... want ... want ... want...
Copy !req
127. You're not Connie!
I must have left the real Connie
Copy !req
128. back at the costume shop!
Sh-She could be anywhere!
Copy !req
129. No, no, no, no, no!
I'm done! I'm done playing!
Copy !req
130. Why didn't you disappear
with everything else?
Copy !req
131. You told me not to do what
you wanted.
Copy !req
132. Ohh.
Copy !req
133. - Where is Connie?
- Steven!
Copy !req
134. - Steven!
- Connie?
Copy !req
135. C-Connie? Is that you?
Copy !req
136. Please let me go.
Copy !req
137. - I want to find the real Connie!
- You told me you wanted ...
Copy !req
138. It doesn't matter!
Copy !req
139. Please don't follow me.
I don't want you to follow me!
Copy !req
140. Cart!
Copy !req
141. Uh... Uh, wind lizard!
Copy !req
142. Uh... Uh... Uh...
Connie, can you hear me?
Copy !req
143. Steven?
Steven!
Copy !req
144. Connie!
I'm almost there!
Copy !req
145. Just a little bit furthe...
Copy !req
146. Please!
Copy !req
147. I don't want you!
I want the real Connie!
Copy !req
148. I know what you really want.
Copy !req
149. - I know how you really feel.
- Steven?
Copy !req
150. Ah, Steven, finally!
There you... are.
Copy !req
151. Ugh! Ugh!
Help!
Copy !req
152. Keep away from him!
Copy !req
153. I know you like her.
Copy !req
154. - And I know you want her to like you, too.
- No! Don't listen!
Copy !req
155. That's why you can't tell her
the truth, but you want to!
Copy !req
156. - Ow!
- You want to tell her!
Copy !req
157. - No!
- Get off him!
Copy !req
158. - Tell her, Steven!
- I...
Copy !req
159. Tell her!
Copy !req
160. I liked the ending of the book!
Copy !req
161. - What?
- I-I-I thought it was
Copy !req
162. sweet that Lisa and Archimicarus
got together in the end.
Copy !req
163. They were always so
thoughtful towards each
Copy !req
164. other, and I was so happy
when they found the spell
Copy !req
165. to make him human,
and I loved every page
Copy !req
166. about the cake!
I wanted to draw a picture of it!
Copy !req
167. I'm ... I'm sorry I
pretended not to like it.
Copy !req
168. I just ... I just didn't want
Copy !req
169. - you to think less of me.
- Ahh. That's better.
Copy !req
170. Do ... Do you think
Copy !req
171. I'm a bad person for liking the ending?
Copy !req
172. Of course not.
I ... Steven, it's just a book.
Copy !req
173. But you really care about it.
Copy !req
174. - I care about you more.
- Even though I liked the wedding?
Copy !req
175. Oh, of course you liked the wedding.
You're Steven.
Copy !req
176. You love schmaltz.
Copy !req
177. You make a good point,
Copy !req
178. but don't you remember
how Archimicarus
Copy !req
179. - cried in book 3?
- I thought that was because
Copy !req
180. - they lost the sword.
- No!
Copy !req
181. She almost fell into the volcano!
Copy !req
182. - He was worried about her.
- But she had access to frost spells.
Copy !req
183. Yeah, but Archimicarus
didn't know that.
Copy !req
184. - Even birds can fall in love.
- I guess you could read it that way.
Copy !req
