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