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