I'd keep you in there.Copy !req

my tummy forever more.Copy !req
3. They say that I was born
The coldest ever day on earthCopy !req
4. They say that I was bornCopy !req
5. With a frozen heartCopy !req
6. Some might even say
I was carried at womb's lengthCopy !req
7. To the top of the hill
That looms over the townCopy !req
8. And its soaring spiresCopy !req
9. Way up where a house with a steepleCopy !req
10. Was home to a midwife
Called mad by the townspeopleCopy !req
11. Isn't that delightful!
A dead bird sticking out of your hairCopy !req
12. And another little bird in there,
if I'm not mistakenCopy !req
13. Don't worry,
I'll make sure he's alright.Copy !req
14. Would you like a warm drink?
Tea, coffee, whisky?Copy !req
15. Or I made some pancakes earlier.
Do you fancy one?Copy !req
16. The best pancakes you'll ever taste!Copy !req
17. You can't give birth
on an empty stomach!Copy !req
18. His heart's as hard as a rock.Copy !req
19. - His heart feels so cold!
- He has a heart of gold, you say?Copy !req
20. No! A heart of ice!
As in cubes, not cream!Copy !req
21. This will do the trick.
You'll have a good heart with this here clock.Copy !req
22. What better for a wee bairn who's
just fallen out of the nest!Copy !req
23. A little mint chocolate
to wash it down, of course.Copy !req
24. William, close the window, please.Copy !req
25. I have something important to tell you.Copy !req
26. To be sure you don't turn back
into a giant ice cube forever,Copy !req
27. there are three rules
you must always obey.Copy !req
28. Firstly, never touchCopy !req
29. The hands of your heartCopy !req
30. Rule number twoCopy !req
31. Keep your temper under controlCopy !req
32. Last but not leastCopy !req
33. The most important ruleCopy !req
34. Whatever else you doCopy !req
35. Never fall in loveCopy !req
36. Cause then forever moreCopy !req
37. If your heart goes in a spinCopy !req
38. The big hand at your coreCopy !req
39. Will pop out of your skinCopy !req
40. Your bones will implodeCopy !req
41. Your cogs and springs explodeCopy !req
42. And your cuckoo-clock heartCopy !req
43. Grind to a halt for goodCopy !req
44. No, no, my little ice cube,
I'm not your mum.Copy !req
45. Even though I wish I were.Copy !req
46. He looks like a fragile snowflake
But with the hands of a clock poking out!Copy !req
47. That way you won't have trouble
finding him in a snowstormCopy !req
48. I know for sure that she'll make a much
better mother than I ever will.Copy !req
49. Ow.Copy !req
50. Come on, come everyone! All aboard for
the ground floor of the mountain!Copy !req
51. Great escape through
the catacombs of the sky!Copy !req
52. No, tomorrow perhaps, sweetie
I'm busy just now with Arthur.Copy !req
53. He got caught in a storm without an umbrella
and now his spine is covered in rust againCopy !req
54. Oh come on. It's my birthday!
You promisedCopy !req
55. Did you brush your teeth?
Did you wind up your clock?Copy !req
56. Yes! Brushed my clock and wound up
my teeth like every morning,Copy !req
57. but I've been cooped up here ten years now!Copy !req
58. - Now look...
- Oww!Copy !req
59. I just need a few minutes with Anna
and Luna, then I'll take you.Copy !req
60. And I'll keep my promise this time, eh.Copy !req
61. Pfff, it's the same story every year.
Work always comes first.Copy !req
62. Don't be daft! Anna and Luna have seen
the storks again, what else can I do?Copy !req
63. Where are the storks?Copy !req
64. Do you mind staying here with Arthur
while the oil soaks into his spine?Copy !req
65. Oh, don't put on that
stuffed bird face, please!Copy !req
66. C'mon... you must be hurting
but it won't last.Copy !req
67. You'll get over it,
time heals all wounds.Copy !req
68. Take me, for exemple.
Right after my boss fired me,Copy !req
69. my wife threw me out too.Copy !req
70. Why d'you always lug
around those eggs?Copy !req
71. This egg is jam packed with memoriesCopy !req
72. My wife made them taste out of this worldCopy !req
73. - And can you cook 'em as well as her?
- No.Copy !req
74. I cannot cook for love nor money.
But boiled eggs always remind me of herCopy !req
75. Here, you have this one.
Today's your birthday, after all.Copy !req
76. I don't want you to be missing a memory!Copy !req
77. Go on, it's a present.Copy !req
78. I can spare it, no problem.Copy !req
79. One day, you'll be glad to have a childhood
memory wrapped up warm in your bag.Copy !req
80. Thanks!Copy !req
81. Okay, Christopher Columbus!
Let's explore a whole new world.Copy !req
82. Give me a second to change,
and let's go!Copy !req
83. Not so fast, young man.Copy !req
84. You're not going anywhere...
until we have a chat.Copy !req
85. What I'm about to say is
of the utmost importance.Copy !req
86. Before letting you go wandering around town,Copy !req
87. I'd have preferred
your heart to be much stronger.Copy !req
88. Every beat of your heart
is a minor miracle.Copy !req
89. - You're a fragile little piece of work.
- I know.Copy !req
90. There are three rules that, whatever
happens, you must not forget.Copy !req
91. Never touch the hands of my heart,
yes I know!Copy !req
92. Yes, but what else?
Keep your temper under control.Copy !req
93. Rule number three, is one you don't
know and by far the most important.Copy !req
94. Whatever else,
you must never... never, everCopy !req
95. fall in love.Copy !req
96. That's why I'm so scared about
taking you into town. I- Are we done?Copy !req
97. It'd be the death of you, Jack!Copy !req
98. You won't be able to withstand the emotional
and physical shock provoked by love.Copy !req
99. I know, my heart looks like of toy,
but it's not to be played with!Copy !req
100. It's no laughing matter.Copy !req
101. How could I possibly fall in love?Copy !req
102. I don't know anything about love?Copy !req
103. - Slow down!
- Wow! Look at that!Copy !req
104. Jack, calm down, please!Copy !req
105. Woooooooww!Copy !req
106. Is that my dad?Copy !req
107. No, your grand. father perhaps.Copy !req
108. - Woooooooww!
- Jack!Copy !req
109. Wait for me!Copy !req
110. A cloud good enough to eat!Copy !req
111. Are you referring to me?Copy !req
112. No! That thing you're eating.Copy !req
113. Woooow!Copy !req
114. What's that pretty...?Copy !req
115. - That sound over there...
- By the sound of it, a barrel organ.Copy !req
116. Isn't it pretty?Copy !req
117. It's an instrument that works in much
the same way as that heart of yours.Copy !req
118. I guess that must be
what grabbed your ear.Copy !req
119. Because it's mechanical...
with lots of emotions on the inside.Copy !req
120. I do hope I'm not bothering you,
madam, butCopy !req
121. you don't ha ve the time
perchance, do you?Copy !req
122. Just turned six o'clock, sir. P. M.Copy !req
123. Six o' clock? No,Copy !req
124. one minute past six!Copy !req
125. Oh, no! I should've known!
I should've known!Copy !req
126. She won't come now.
She won't come now!Copy !req
127. You poor fellow. Here you are,Copy !req
128. I have a wee hankie here.Copy !req
129. I just knew itCopy !req
130. Do you mind if I keep it?Copy !req
131. Has anyone ever told you that men cry
bigger and better tears than women?Copy !req
132. - No...
- It's true.Copy !req
133. In fact, they sob tears
twice as big as women's.Copy !req
134. Jack?Copy !req
135. Jack?Copy !req
136. Jack!Copy !req
137. My vision's not quite rightCopy !req
138. But glasses make me look a sightCopy !req
139. Enough to give the world a frightCopy !req
140. Like a spriteCopy !req
141. Wearing specsCopy !req
142. Oh, sparky little petCopy !req
143. It's dangerous to be coquetteCopy !req
144. Don't refuse to wear your specsCopy !req
145. If it leaves you in the darkCopy !req
146. I prefer life all a blurCopy !req
147. I forget to wear my glassesCopy !req
148. When I sing and share caressesCopy !req
149. It feels good to close my eyesCopy !req
150. Oh, my pretty arsonistCopy !req
151. Let me clasp you close to meCopy !req
152. Rip your clothes with my teethCopy !req
153. And tear them into confettiCopy !req
154. To scatter as we kiss...Copy !req
155. Confetti?Copy !req
156. On you and meCopy !req
157. All I see are starsCopy !req
158. Suddenly some daysCopy !req
159. My eyes lead me astrayCopy !req
160. Far away down the streetCopy !req
161. Then I can't bear to stealCopy !req
162. A glance at the sunCopy !req
163. Or dare to look the skyCopy !req
164. Straight in the eyeCopy !req
165. All I see are starsCopy !req
166. I won't let you strayCopy !req
167. I'll be your only guideCopy !req
168. Let me be your pair of eyesCopy !req
169. You'll be my special flameCopy !req
170. There's one thing I must confessCopy !req
171. Of all five senses my hearing's bestCopy !req
172. I'll never recognize you by relying on my eyesCopy !req
173. Smoldering embers alone in the darkCopy !req
174. We'll raise cascades of sparksCopy !req
175. When the clock of my heartCopy !req
176. Strikes midnight we'll catch on fireCopy !req
177. And blaze so bright you see the lightCopy !req
178. All I see are starsCopy !req
179. Suddenly some daysCopy !req
180. My eyes lead me astrayCopy !req
181. Far away down the streetCopy !req
182. Then I can't bear to stealCopy !req
183. A glance at the sunCopy !req
184. Or dare to look the skyCopy !req
185. Straight in the eyeCopy !req
186. All I see are starsCopy !req
187. Do you often sprout
thoseltalian ice cream cones?Copy !req
188. Only when I've snacked
on spaghetti after midnight!Copy !req
189. What's that odd pitter patter?Copy !req
190. That's just the rain
Do you like the rain?Copy !req
191. Getting wet, no but
the sound it makes, yes!Copy !req
192. A storm's brewing.
A thunderstorm?Copy !req
193. A magnetic one.Copy !req
194. Jack!Copy !req
195. No! Not that! Anything but that!Copy !req
196. What have you done to Jack?Copy !req
197. You could have died.Copy !req
198. Don't say you weren't warned!
Rule number three! Did you forget?Copy !req
199. No.Copy !req
200. Y'get pains in your gears when you cough?Copy !req
201. Well, multiply your suffering
a hundred fold andCopy !req
202. you'll still have no idea
of the pain love causes.Copy !req
203. And the greater your love,
the greater the pain!Copy !req
204. First, you sense an ache,
followed by pangs of jealousy,Copy !req
205. then incomprehension, rejection
and the agony... of injustice.Copy !req
206. Your mechanical heart
surely won't withstand itCopy !req
207. It will overheat and explode.
I transplanted it, I know its limits.Copy !req
208. One single kiss, a brush
on the lips could be your last.Copy !req
209. Just like that, bang! Pushing up daisies!Copy !req
210. Do you know why I saved your life?Copy !req
211. You are the child I was never able to have.Copy !req
212. Howcome you couldn't have one?Copy !req
213. It's no one's fault.Copy !req
214. It wasone of those
tricksnature plays on us.Copy !req
215. You know more about that than most.Copy !req
216. I came to terms with it eventually,Copy !req
217. after some long nights and lots of tears.Copy !req
218. Out of nowhere...Copy !req
219. You turned up with your mother
like you were heaven sent,Copy !req
220. like some kind of consolation prize.Copy !req
221. I think I'd lose my mind, my reason
for living if I lost you Do you see?Copy !req
222. Is that when you started
drinking tear liqueur?Copy !req
223. Yes More or less.Copy !req
224. Yoo-hoo!Copy !req
225. How are you, honey?Copy !req
226. We didn't even have time to wish
you happy birthday yesterday!Copy !req
227. It was as if you were drawn magnetically
to the ground floor of the mountain,Copy !req
228. - as you put it.
- Whooooooooosh!Copy !req
229. And so? What was your great journey
of discovery into town like?Copy !req
230. Right, I'll be going.
If you need me, just shout.Copy !req
231. - Tell all!
- Tell all!Copy !req
232. It was fabulous!Copy !req
233. What made it all so fabulous?Copy !req
234. A little singer with glasses
which she won't wear!Copy !req
235. Sounds like she's not all there!Copy !req
236. She's marvelous!
She's errr like a sparrow!Copy !req
237. Perched on high heels.Copy !req
238. She has a sort of fragility and
intensity about her, she's a...Copy !req
239. I don't know, like a little twigCopy !req
240. And then she sings like a nightingale,
bird song but with words.Copy !req
241. And her nose! Magnificent!
A work of art!Copy !req
242. So miniscule that I can hardly
believe she breathes with it.Copy !req
243. I honestly think it's purely decorative.Copy !req
244. It's absolutely tiny.
That's why she won't wear her glasses!Copy !req
245. Every time she comes down with a flu,
I suppose that she snores like a steam train.Copy !req
246. Oh, no! A nose that pert
could only sound like a flute.Copy !req
247. What? You caught a bug in town
and not flu, you naughty young lad?Copy !req
248. - Yes, you are!
- You know that it's forbidden!Copy !req
249. Forbidden!Copy !req
250. I know.Copy !req
251. It's for your own good, you know.Copy !req
252. If only I could live without love!Copy !req
253. - We know what we're talking about!
- See,Copy !req
254. I fall in love with every patient who
comes here for regular treatment,Copy !req
255. but every single time, they end up
falling for another girl.Copy !req
256. I brought you some flowers.
I'm the one who picked themCopy !req
257. You're sure they're not from
a funeral bouquet?Copy !req
258. We just happened to drop by the cemetery
on our way here after work.Copy !req
259. Tomb smothered in flowers.
The guy won't miss them.Copy !req
260. We did him a favor, making some
space so everyone canCopy !req
261. see what an important chap he was.Copy !req
262. His headstone was hidden
by all the wreathes,Copy !req
263. The poor fellow.Copy !req
264. There's more!
Where did I put my little surprise?Copy !req
265. Oh, really?Copy !req
266. Thanks! Where' d you get
the new dress, Luna?Copy !req
267. Not your style?Copy !req
268. From the graveyard, like the flowers.Copy !req
269. It's an old relic from my teenage years.Copy !req
270. I adjusted it to the latest fashion.Copy !req
271. It's the uniform we had to
wear to school at Calton Hill.Copy !req
272. - To school?
- I was a real goody-two-shoes back then.Copy !req
273. Madeleine, uh, I've been
reflecting on the three rules.Copy !req
274. - I'm pleased you've come to your senses.
- Yes.Copy !req
275. - And I think I've come up with the solution.
- The solution?Copy !req
276. I have to go to school, so I uhCopy !req
277. can learn, uh, and get a better
grasp of the three rules,Copy !req
278. and how to apply them in the real world!Copy !req
279. Wouldn't you perhaps be better advised
to begin with the slate I gave you?Copy !req
280. But if I want to work properly...
then, I have to go to school.Copy !req
281. Going to school, going to school!
It'll drive you up the wall!Copy !req
282. No, I promise it won't!Copy !req
283. You'll be bored out of your mind!Copy !req
284. You'll have to read lots
of books you despise,Copy !req
285. when here you get to choose...
which ones to read.Copy !req
286. Not to mention sitting for
hours on end without moving...Copy !req
287. Naturally, you won't be allowed
to talk or make any noise.Copy !req
288. And no daydreaming...
Except at lunchCopy !req
289. I know you too well.
You'll hate every minute!Copy !req
290. And everybody will make fun of your clock
You'll be treated like some kind of freak.Copy !req
291. Children everywhere go to school!Copy !req
292. You never have any time,
I'm always alone.Copy !req
293. I feel like the whole world's
waiting to be explored.Copy !req
294. Waiting to be explored?
At school?Copy !req
295. Fine... Up in the attic,
there should be a satchel.Copy !req
296. - Fetch it down for me.
- Oh, Madeleine!Copy !req
297. That's the best birthday present ever.Copy !req
298. Hello!Copy !req
299. You don't happen to know a tiny singer
who keeps bumping into things?Copy !req
300. Say... You don't happen to know a...Copy !req
301. For a few years now I've been turning
this school into my personal domainCopy !req
302. And now everyone knows that in the
schoolyard whatever I say holds swayCopy !req
303. I make sure the kids respect me,
must be a few I simply scareCopy !req
304. This is my empire, my realm,
the territory I'm ill inclined to shareCopy !req
305. I must admit I'm not impressed by change,
it's stability for meCopy !req
306. I take no risks and mercilessly crush
any threat to my authorityCopy !req
307. Hello there.Copy !req
308. I always do what needs doing
to be the undisputed king.Copy !req
309. But there's a new kid who just started school
and I sense he wants to muscle inCopy !req
310. Lost something, y'runt?Copy !req
311. Yes! A little singer aCopy !req
312. tiny one.Copy !req
313. What do you want with
this little singer of yours?Copy !req
314. Not so long ago, I saw her singing
and bumping into things.Copy !req
315. So I 'd like to give her
a new pair of glasses!Copy !req
316. Her name isCopy !req
317. Her name is Miss Acacia.Copy !req
318. Miss Acacia!Copy !req
319. And nobody's allowed to mention her,
or so much as speak her name, 'cept me!Copy !req
320. - But uh
- And I mean nobody.Copy !req
321. You better forget about her, half-pint!Copy !req
322. Got that?Copy !req
323. How do you make that mechanical sound?Copy !req
324. Is that your heart going tick-tock?Copy !req
325. Yes.Copy !req
326. Don't tell me you've
fallen in love with her too?Copy !req
327. A bit.Copy !req
328. Well, more fool you!
She's flown. She had to escape abroad.Copy !req
329. Don't let me hear you so much
as mumble her nameCopy !req
330. or I'll pulverize the clock
that you call a heart.Copy !req
331. I mean that!Copy !req
332. I'll obliterate you. In fact, you'll be through
with love when I'm done with you!Copy !req
333. There you are my faithful feline friendCopy !req
334. Out flitting along rooftops every nightCopy !req
335. With the moon for your bedside lightCopy !req
336. Ah! So, tell us,
How was your first day at school?Copy !req
337. Whoo hoo! Did someone with a satchel sneak
by without bothering to give me a kiss?Copy !req
338. And next timeCopy !req
339. It's your heart that
I'll splatter all over your skull.Copy !req
340. Come and see Big Ben!Copy !req
341. Wind him up nice and tight!Copy !req
342. Go ahead, Take it in turns.Copy !req
343. It belonged to a gentleman friend.Copy !req
344. The poor guy went to his grave howling,Copy !req
345. Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up
and ride 'em, cowboy!Copy !req
346. A real bucking bronco.Copy !req
347. Libido killed the rodeo star!Copy !req
348. Stop! No long faces. Come on,
everybody, let your hair down.Copy !req
349. 14 years old! Let's have some fun!Copy !req
350. Where I come from, when you turn
fourteen, you become an adult!Copy !req
351. Arthur! Anna! Madeleine!Copy !req

360. to youCopy !req
361. "Happy birthday."Copy !req

363. No, it's my birthday.

364. Happy birthday! Signed,
Miss Acacia It's to me!Copy !req
365. It's my birthday today.
You're running late, Big Ben!Copy !req
366. What are you doing home already?
You finished early?Copy !req
367. No.Copy !req
368. What's happened, Jack?Copy !req
369. You've seen that little singer again!Copy !req
370. - I killed Joe!
- What?Copy !req
371. I stabbed his eye out with the cuckoo!Copy !req
372. Madeleine... There are policemen on
their way, coming up the hill.Copy !req
373. I have to disappear. They're after me
because of what I did to Joe.Copy !req
374. Arthur, Anna, Luna... We have to
smuggle Jack out of here.Copy !req
375. He needs to leave town
as fast as possible.Copy !req
376. We're on the job.Copy !req
377. I'll stay here to handle the police.Copy !req
378. First, I'll pack a bag for you and
you'll slip out the back way.Copy !req
379. What are you going to tell them?Copy !req
380. That you never came home.Copy !req
381. In a few days, I'll go to the station and
report you've gone missing.Copy !req
382. Eventually they'll declare you have died.Copy !req
383. We'll hold a funeral for
you outon the mountain.Copy !req
384. But what will you put in the coffin?Copy !req
385. No coffin, just an epitaph
on a tree nearby.Copy !req
386. The police will never bother to check.Copy !req
387. It's the advantage of having
a reputation as a witch.Copy !req
388. They don't go snooping in my tombs.Copy !req
389. Be very careful with your key, Jack.Copy !req
390. And remember...Copy !req
391. Get in touch with a clockmaker
as soon as you settle somewhere.Copy !req
392. - You mean with a doctor!
- No, no, anything but!Copy !req
393. Never see a doctor about
a problem with your heart.Copy !req
394. The person you need to see
is a clockmaker.Copy !req
395. Not so hard. You'll damage your clock

398. Alright, time to go!Copy !req
399. I haven't even left and I...Copy !req
400. I'm... already shivering.Copy !req
401. As the train departs I'm falling apart,Copy !req
402. a clocktower left to rotCopy !req
403. in a desert of blue smokeCopy !req
404. I start my trip lickety spit scared
to bits chasing beatsCopy !req
405. beats my heart skipsCopy !req
406. as it ticks and tocksCopy !req
407. I've time to learn to control the shakesCopy !req
408. but here my heart's about
to break rattling like a snakeCopy !req
409. in a tin canCopy !req
410. Panic's causing frantic antics in my heartCopy !req
411. loco locomotiveCopy !req
412. loco locomotive steam awayCopy !req
413. Oh, watch out for me, without you,
with no place to goCopy !req
414. My heart's on the blink
So heavy it sinksCopy !req
415. I'm teetering on the brinkCopy !req
416. It tosses and turns and sinks in
the drink a shipwrecked heartCopy !req
417. is no good for loveCopy !req
418. Roll in the fogCopy !req
419. Rattle your ghost trainsCopy !req
420. the time is right to conjure upCopy !req
421. specters of sublime womenCopy !req
422. Blondes or brunettes
rolling the dice in the nightCopy !req
423. I'll slit 'em open before
they take frightCopy !req
424. Compliments of your humble
servant Jack the RipperCopy !req
425. Have no fear, my boyCopy !req
426. You'll soon learn to scareCopy !req
427. to prove you existCopy !req
428. Have no fear, my boyCopy !req

436. Oh la laaa!Copy !req
437. Stupid machine, why won't you work
for once, damn you!Copy !req
438. Do excuse my French, dear boy.
Terrible manners,Copy !req
439. but all I want in the whole wide world
is for my invention to workCopy !req
440. and it won't! It just keeps breaking
down for no reason.Copy !req
441. Can you imagine?Copy !req
442. Yes, I, I can only sympathize.Copy !req
443. Ho, ho! What have we here?Copy !req
444. Oh! Very volcanic mechanics
you have there, mon ami.Copy !req
445. I have to find a clockmaker to repair me.Copy !req
446. Do you happen to know one?Copy !req
447. I'm not a clockmaker,
but I am quite a handy fellowCopy !req
448. And I'd rather enjoy
tinkering around in there!Copy !req
449. What would you say to a...Copy !req
450. quick stop in the small
workshop I have in Paris.Copy !req
451. We'll soon have you up
and running again!Copy !req
452. Oh, this is quite extraordinaire!Copy !req
453. Your Doctor Madeleine is a genius!Copy !req
454. The way she pieced all
this together for you It's, it's...Copy !req
455. It's a labor of love.
Down to the tiniest detail.Copy !req
456. That's my whole problem. Love.Copy !req
457. It's very dangerous for me,
says MadeleineCopy !req
458. - Is it badly damaged?
- No, Everything works just fine.Copy !req
459. Actually, it gives me an idea
for repairing my camera.Copy !req
460. Surely a similar spring to the one thatCopy !req
461. that I just installed in
the miniature mechanismCopy !req
462. of your arteries will enable
this maker of dreams finallyCopy !req
463. to crank back into life. In exactly the
same way as yours, mon ami!Copy !req
464. Mister...Copy !req
465. Please, call me Georges. Georges Melies!Copy !req
466. You see, Mister M? Li? s...Copy !req
467. there's a singer I met in Edinburgh...Copy !req
468. Oh yes, I know, these things do happen.Copy !req
469. The moment I saw her, I felt a rumbling,
like an earthquake devastating my clock.Copy !req
470. My gears started creaking,
my tick-tock racing.Copy !req
471. I was gasping for breath,
my head was spinning,Copy !req
472. - my hands were whirring.
- How good did that feel?Copy !req
473. Wonderful!Copy !req
474. Well, there you go!Copy !req
475. I don't know.Copy !req
476. I worryMadeleine was right all along,
And love might be fatal.Copy !req
477. By being afraid of getting hurt,Copy !req
478. you increase the chances
that you will get hurt!Copy !req
479. Like a tightrope walker.Copy !req
480. Do you think they can afford to wonder
what will happen if they fall?Copy !req
481. No! They enjoy the thrill that braving
a danger pumps through their veins.Copy !req
482. If you spend your life avoiding getting hurt,Copy !req
483. you'll probably die of boredom first, my boy.Copy !req
484. You want to experience a
grand adventure with this filly?Copy !req
485. If I can find her again. Last I heard,Copy !req
486. - she's in Granada.
- Oooooh!Copy !req
487. There's nothing quite so
amusing as recklessness.Copy !req
488. When you're 14 and gallivanting
off across Europe on the trail of a girl,Copy !req
489. I'd say that your reckless gene must be
highly developed. N'est-ce pas?Copy !req
490. Look!Copy !req
491. See, it works!Copy !req
492. The machine functions in
the same way as your heart.Copy !req
493. Almost as if...
it absorbs every emotion.Copy !req
494. I could make a film about your
cuckoo-clock heart nowCopy !req
495. that I know exactly how it works!Copy !req
496. Why not, sounds like funCopy !req
497. You know, when I was in love,Copy !req
498. I was constanty inventing all kinds
of gadgets Gadgets, gadgets,Copy !req
499. gadgets, more and more gadgets,
just to amuse my fiancee.Copy !req
500. I doubt she ever really appreciated
my gadgets, for some reason.Copy !req
501. One day, I was at a loose end,
so I chopped up two of her shelvesCopy !req
502. and I fixed them to some wheels
that I'd found uh on a cartCopy !req
503. from the hospital, so that we could
go gliding together in the moonlight.Copy !req
504. She always refused to get on it.
And told me to repair her shelves.Copy !req
505. Life is far from easy when
you're in love, my young friend.Copy !req
506. Why not come with me
to Andalusia, Mister Melies?Copy !req
507. Everything is possible there, I'm sure.Copy !req
508. Do you really want a
magician on the verge ofCopy !req
509. a complete nervous breakdown
as a companion on your quest for love?Copy !req
510. I'd love to travel with a magician,
however depressed!Copy !req
511. I'm your man!Copy !req
512. Let me throw a few tricks into
my bag and onwards and upwards!Copy !req
513. Anda Anda Andalusia!Copy !req
514. Andalusia!Copy !req
515. Andalusia.Copy !req
516. Anda.Copy !req
517. Andalusia.Copy !req
518. Anda. Anda. Andalusia.Copy !req

520. Anda. Anda. Andalusia!
Anda. Andalusia!Copy !req
521. I'm a human illusionCopy !req
522. Who wants to be a manCopy !req
523. No tricks, no gimmicksCopy !req
524. But in my dreamsCopy !req
525. I'm seen as my own manCopy !req
526. A grown man, a human beingCopy !req
527. Who needs no tricksCopy !req
528. A human not a freakCopy !req
529. I'm a human illusionCopy !req
530. Who wants to be a manCopy !req
531. No tricks, no gimmicksCopy !req
532. But in my dreamsCopy !req
533. I'm seen as my own manCopy !req
534. A grown man, a human beingCopy !req
535. Who needs no tricksCopy !req
536. I believe we have arrived,Copy !req
537. So, first impression?Copy !req
538. Makes a change from Edinburgh.Copy !req
539. Yikes! My head's spinning!Copy !req
540. - Hello
- Oh,Copy !req
541. Extraordinaire!Copy !req
542. Roll up, roll up for the man-eating dove!Copy !req
543. Two monsters in love!Copy !req
544. Three fat tenors in a rowCopy !req
545. And an elephant singing
soprano at the Circo Bizarro!Copy !req
546. On the Ghost Train...Copy !req
547. You looking for work, boy?Copy !req
548. Because I'm looking for a new Frightener.Copy !req
549. No, actually, I'm looking for
a tiny flamenco virtuoso.Copy !req
550. Here? You've more chance of finding
a fresh snowflake in hell!Copy !req
551. She's like a perfect little bird in high heels
who tends to knock into things.Copy !req
552. Why don't you knock it off
jabbering on about her?Copy !req
553. D'you want the job, or don't you, runt?Copy !req
554. The chica chocolate in
the flesh she's capableCopy !req
555. of spontaneous combustion
to illuminate a starless night!Copy !req
556. Ladies and gentlemen... next up the
flamenco salsa picante of... "Miss Acacia!"Copy !req
557. Miss Acacia?Copy !req
558. Well, you do or you don't?Copy !req
559. I'll have to think.
Mister Melies! Mister Melies!Copy !req
560. Ladies and gentlemen, next up on the band...Copy !req
561. You need to act as if
you're playing a game of poker.Copy !req
562. Your expression must never
reveal any doubts or fear.Copy !req
563. Don't forget you have an
ace up your sleeve.Copy !req
564. It's a Heart.Copy !req
565. You must resist playing your Jack.Copy !req
566. Because if you play the King,Copy !req
567. you're sure to win the Queen!Copy !req
568. I guess but... I'm no good at cards.Copy !req
569. You are different, JackCopy !req
570. You're convinced that must be a weakness.Copy !req
571. But in fact...Copy !req
572. Your difference is your strength!Copy !req
573. Your fragility,
that heart-clock of yours makesCopy !req
574. you special and almost irresistible!
Make the most of your difference.Copy !req
575. My handicap as a weapon for seduction?Copy !req
576. You think it'll work?Copy !req
577. Of course! Don't you think part of what...Copy !req
578. charmed you about your little
singer was her funny way of...Copy !req
579. accidentally bumping into you?Copy !req
580. Perhaps.Copy !req
581. Nobody will notice. The coast is clear.
Sneak in there! Fast!Copy !req
582. A single kiss, a brush on the lips even,
could destroy you. I'm deadly serious,Copy !req
583. Jack Just like that - clack!
Pushing up daisies!Copy !req
584. Pom pom pom pom pom
Pom pom pom pom pomCopy !req
585. My vision's not quite rightCopy !req
586. But glasses make me look a sightCopy !req
587. Enough to give the world a frightCopy !req
588. Like a spriteCopy !req
589. What are you doing?
Who are you?Copy !req
590. The ultimate seduction is when you give
the illusion of not even trying to seduce her.Copy !req
591. Hey! Ola!Copy !req
592. I was tying my laces against your doorwhen
it fell open and I landed on your... couch.Copy !req
593. You often tie your laces just outside
a girl's door when she's getting changed?Copy !req
594. - Uh, no, no Not very often.
- And where do you usually land?Copy !req
595. You stumble into her bed,
or the shower first?Copy !req
596. I'm really sorry.Copy !req
597. Haven't we met somewhere before?Copy !req
598. I'm pretty sure I recognize you.Copy !req
599. Recognize me?Copy !req
600. What do you want anyway?Copy !req
601. I'd like to give you somethingCopy !req
602. What would that be?Copy !req
603. A bouquet of glasses!Copy !req
604. I can't say they're
my favorite flowers.Copy !req
605. I never wear my glassesCopy !req
606. They only make me look like
a kind of bug-eyed insect.Copy !req
607. That's all right by me.Copy !req
608. Could we see each other again?
With or without glasses.Copy !req
609. Perhaps.Copy !req
610. - You're not from around these parts.
- Oh, yes, yes, no, I, I...Copy !req
611. I work on the Ghost Train.Copy !req
612. That's wonderful!
So you're the new Frightener?Copy !req
613. Exactly That's right.Copy !req
614. I'm the new Flybynightener That' s me!Copy !req
615. Can I come and see you in action?Copy !req
616. Absolutely! Where?Copy !req
617. Y'know... On the Ghost TrainCopy !req
618. Ah! Yes, uh... Of course. Naturally.Copy !req
619. Tomorrow? Around 4?Copy !req
620. Perfect!Copy !req
621. Well then? Jack, what happened?Copy !req
622. Yes, what happened?Copy !req
623. It's amazing! She said perhaps!Copy !req
624. Georges... Can we invite
you in for a cup of coffee?Copy !req
625. - Or a cup of tea?
- Both!Copy !req
626. Is the job still going?Copy !req
627. Tell me, do you always run away
to think about things?Copy !req
628. Always! I've thought it over...
And I really want the position.Copy !req
629. What can you do to give people a fright?Copy !req
630. How about this?Copy !req
631. You might have a chance of frightening
a six month-old baby...Copy !req
632. But I'm desperate and with you at least...Copy !req
633. the trains will leave on the dot!Copy !req
634. Ah, that sounds like a job for me!Copy !req
635. Just scare the pants off people and you
and me will soon be the best of friends.Copy !req
636. - Yes, ma'am!
- Don't ma'am me!Copy !req
637. - Hello!
- Ah!Copy !req
638. You gave me a heck of a fright!Copy !req
639. I don't think my heart can
cope with all this.Copy !req
640. Nor mine!Copy !req
641. When I went on the ghost trainCopy !req
642. I met this old girlcalledBrigitte HeimCopy !req

681. No, honestly,
I was absolutely petrified!Copy !req
682. Aaaah! Surprise me!
Your own shadow scares you!Copy !req
683. You were really good.Copy !req
684. I didn't see a thing but it seemed like
a lot of fun. Congratulations!Copy !req
685. Thank you. Did you try
your new glasses on for size?Copy !req
686. Yes, but they're all broken, or twisted.Copy !req
687. Yes, I chose them like that on purpose so
you wouldn't worry about breaking, them?Copy !req
688. I can't shake off the strange feeling
that I've, er... already been in this situationCopy !req
689. or... dreamed this moment.Copy !req
690. - Really?
- I'm sure we've met but I'm not sure where.Copy !req
691. Would you like to dance?Copy !req
692. - Right here? In silence?
- Yup That way, we're always in time!Copy !req
693. If you say so.Copy !req
694. What's that pitter-patter?Copy !req
695. That's just the rain.
You like the rain?Copy !req
696. Getting wet, no.
But the sound it makes...Copy !req
697. Yes! And I've heard that
noise before somewhere.Copy !req
698. - It's my heart.
- Your what?Copy !req
699. My heart.Copy !req
700. They made it specially
for me the day I was born.Copy !req
701. Because it was the coldest ever day on earth,
and my heart froze solid.Copy !req
702. It's a bit cobbled together,
but it works.Copy !req
703. Do you want to try?Copy !req
704. Here... you wind me up with a key.
And here...Copy !req
705. You open me up.Copy !req
706. So every girl who rides the Ghost Train gets
a free tour of your heart's working parts?Copy !req
707. No, you're the first.Copy !req
708. Really? Thanks.Copy !req
709. Y're welcome.Copy !req
710. No!Copy !req
711. Don't make me...Copy !req
712. I can feel a powerful magnet growing in my
tummy and pulling me towards you but...Copy !req
713. My heart belongs to someone already.Copy !req
714. Someone I met a long, long time ago.Copy !req
715. Yesterday, when I saw you in the mirror,
you reminded me of him a little.Copy !req
716. And that felt good, I must admit.Copy !req
717. But... Embarking on a romantic adventure
with you would be so unfair.Copy !req
718. I can't do it. I'm sorry!Copy !req
719. - And?
- She loves someone else.Copy !req
720. I traveled halfway across Europe
for her... For nothing!Copy !req
721. But did you tell her that you loved her?Copy !req
722. Why bother? Her heart's full to the brim.Copy !req
723. You can't just empty a heart like a sink!Copy !req
724. Yes, but she did recognize you?Copy !req
725. No, and I prefer her not to remember whoCopy !req
726. I am rather than remember me and not love me.Copy !req
727. She's a little sprite, a spark, but how
to tame a spark? Where d'you start?Copy !req
728. But, but there's quite simply no taming a spark,Copy !req
729. my dear boy. Like shooting stars,
they constantly escape us!Copy !req
730. I've never felt so sad and so...Copy !req
731. happy at the same time.Copy !req
732. Two of the most extraordinary
emotions in one!Copy !req
733. You know what they say,
fortune favors the brave!Copy !req
734. If only she would believe in my heart.Copy !req
735. She appears to think it's a
kind of practical joke.Copy !req
736. She brings to mind animals in the wild.
Their liberty is their beauty!Copy !req
737. Don't attempt to tame her becauseCopy !req
738. even if Miss Acacia falls for you,Copy !req
739. you'll never be able to
stop her escaping again.Copy !req
740. By the way, did she say who
had captured her heart?Copy !req
741. I just wanted to know...Copy !req
742. What's wrong with you,
pestering me all the time?Copy !req
743. - Do I know him?
- Who?Copy !req
744. This boy you're...
in love withCopy !req
745. - No!
- No, you're not in love anymore?Copy !req
746. No, there's no chance you know him.Copy !req
747. Look, it was a very, very long
time ago when I first met him.Copy !req
748. It was in Edinburgh.Copy !req
749. That gigantic city
seemed made forhim!Copy !req
750. The tops of the soaring clocktowers
shimmering in the twilight.Copy !req
751. He popped out of nowhere but I found
his strange silhouette rather reassuring.Copy !req
752. Will you stop fooling
around with your clock!Copy !req
753. It's positively dangerous.Copy !req
754. You'll give someone an injury.
You might at least take it off occasionally!Copy !req
755. I can't help it! It's not some toy,
it's my heart!Copy !req
756. I'm really sorry.Copy !req
757. Look, I'd be very happy
if we could become friends.Copy !req
758. Honestly!Copy !req
759. Why don't we go to the Extraorindary
Stories stand tomorrow?Copy !req
760. I've heard they have a new
contraption for telling stories.Copy !req
761. It's called a film.
I'd really like us to go together.Copy !req
762. Perhaps.Copy !req
763. Ladies and gentlemen!Copy !req
764. And young ladies, above all!Copy !req
765. Tonight, for your pleasure and amusement,
the greatest magic show in the world,Copy !req
766. not just the world, the galaxy!Copy !req
767. You see, for years I have sought to
stitch together dreams and realityCopy !req
768. in a single fabric of marvelous,
thrilling duplicityCopy !req
769. I started with trick photography but
I was missing the most important element...Copy !req
770. Movement!Copy !req
771. The cinematic artform is shamanic!Copy !req
772. One can summon up the shadows!
Anything is possible!Copy !req
773. Soon, we will be able to raise
the dead with this device.Copy !req
774. It's the finest remedy to melancholy
known to humankind!Copy !req
775. Ladies! Ladies, ladies and... Ladies!Copy !req
776. Tonight, we present the first ever
film made on the CinematographCopy !req
777. and it could only tell the greatest love
story ever written since the world began!Copy !req
778. And so, I'd like to express my gratitude
to the man who triggered in meCopy !req
779. the ultimate discovery that brought to life
the machine that makes pictures move.Copy !req
780. I give you, on my left Jack
the human clock!Copy !req
781. A bag of bones inlaid with crispy cogs,Copy !req
782. covered with a fine layer of
epidermis sprinkled with freckles,Copy !req
783. each more succulent
than the last.Copy !req
784. And best of all he possesses,
mesdames, a heart as big as a clock!Copy !req
785. In deed it was while attempting
to overhaul its inner workingsCopy !req
786. that I finally stumbled upon
the missing link in my invention!Copy !req
787. And now, enjoy the film!Copy !req
788. Good, wasn't it?Copy !req
789. Absolutely! It was wonderful!Copy !req
790. You shed a tear.Copy !req
791. No! No, I didn't.Copy !req
792. I know your Romeo.Copy !req
793. Oh, stop going on about that!Copy !req
794. But he's plain evil.Copy !req
795. He made my life hell, ridiculing,
bullying, humiliating me,Copy !req
796. - every day, in front of everybody!
- Him?Copy !req
797. But he would never have harmed a fly, seriously!Copy !req
798. Maybe not a fly but I can tell you,
he hurt me alright!Copy !req
799. Why didn't you stand up for yourself?Copy !req
800. He was a lot bigger and
a lot stronger than me.Copy !req
801. No! It must be a case of mistaken identity.
He was my size, no more.Copy !req
802. - He was a lot bigger.
- Look, I only saw him once in my life, butCopy !req
803. I remember it, as if it were yesterday.Copy !req
804. I run my mind back over the memory
every day and every night as I go to sleep.Copy !req
805. You're jealous?Copy !req
806. Not at all.
That's anything but the problem.Copy !req
807. I saw him without my glasses
on because I was singing.Copy !req
808. I have to admit I might not even
recognize him if I saw him again but...Copy !req
809. I can tell you for sureCopy !req
810. he's not the monster you were describing.Copy !req
811. How did you meet each other.Copy !req
812. It was one rainy day in Edinburgh...Copy !req
813. The sound of the rain has been my
favorite music ever since then.Copy !req
814. It was just before
my parents were betrayed.Copy !req
815. No, please, stop that, will you?Copy !req
816. - Stop what?
- Stop that...Copy !req
817. I don't think I can actually.Copy !req
818. Oh, never mind, keep going.Copy !req
819. I was singing and suddenly
I heard a voice join in.Copy !req
820. We began to dance, or bump
into each other, I suppose.Copy !req
821. We were in a world of our own.Copy !req
822. Oh, I'm so sorry.
Maybe I should spare you the details.Copy !req
823. No, no, no, keep going.
I'm enjoying it. Honestly,Copy !req
824. I really am. It feels good.Copy !req
825. I still don't know how he managed it but...
he tore part of my dress.Copy !req
826. - No!
- He did!Copy !req
827. - And I trod on my glasses!
- You're kidding me?Copy !req
828. It felt as if anything and everything might happen.Copy !req
829. It's impossible to put it into words.Copy !req
830. I have never felt so safe,
so happy. Real happiness. HmmCopy !req
831. There's...Copy !req
832. There's something I want to...Copy !req
833. There's something I want to tell you!Copy !req
834. There's something you want to tell me?Copy !req
835. Yes, there is. I... I...Copy !req
836. Go ahead, say it!Copy !req
837. I'd love it if I cou'ld
see you tomorrow.Copy !req
838. All right. But where?Copy !req
839. Ah err I don't know!Copy !req
840. What about UhThe
Cinematograph, maybe?Copy !req
841. Oh, yes!Copy !req
842. Is that all you wanted to say?Copy !req
843. Yeah, yeah. I... think so.Copy !req
844. - Why the funny face then?
- No, no, it's nothing. It's the filmCopy !req
845. we just saw. It... pffff I really... ssshhhh
It's just got my cogs in a spin!Copy !req
846. - Oh my, Georges!
- My Georges!Copy !req
847. It was so moving, your film.Copy !req
848. - Bravo! I want to be your Juliet.
- Me too, so do I!Copy !req
849. Choose me!Copy !req
850. She's in love with me!Copy !req
851. And welcome, ladies and ladies,
Jack the spaaark tamer!Copy !req
852. Bravo, my boy!Copy !req
853. Thanks, but there's a problem.Copy !req
854. She's in love with the other me,
the one from Edinburgh.Copy !req
855. Come on, that's not a problem.Copy !req
856. The other you,
is still you even so That means,Copy !req
857. now you can connect the two together,
dream and reality!Copy !req
858. But how do I, how do I tell her?Copy !req
859. Come, come, listen...Copy !req
860. Look, it's me, Jack,Copy !req
861. I left Edinburgh and crossed half
of Europe for you, my love!Copy !req
862. And now give me your arm
and let's scale the skies!Copy !req
863. Yes, but I can't say it, I've already tried.Copy !req
864. The words jam in the back of my throat.Copy !req
865. You're still scared your heart
will explode, n'est-ce pas?Copy !req
866. Yes, I often think of Madeleine
and all the effortCopy !req
867. she put into keeping me ticking over.Copy !req
868. But don't be afraid!Copy !req
869. I thought you wanted to love
and be loved back!Copy !req
870. To be seen as your own man,
a grown man, a human being,Copy !req
871. who needs no tricks, a human not a freakCopy !req
872. If only I'd told her who
I was from the very beginning...Copy !req
873. You have to help me come up
with something.Copy !req
874. A thing, I think not.Copy !req
875. An idea though, possibly!Copy !req
876. Jack!Copy !req
877. Jaaack!Copy !req
878. - Over here, please, miss!
- Yes, over here, this way!Copy !req
879. Sit down and stay right where you are!Copy !req
880. The scene is Edinburgh,Copy !req
881. April the 16th, 1884.Copy !req
882. Typically British drizzle glistens on
the cobbles of the city center.Copy !req
883. She dances like a birdCopy !req
884. in high heels performing
the daintiest of reelsCopy !req
885. When she gets her legs in a jumbleCopy !req
886. She bumps her pretty nose as she stumblesCopy !req
887. And on the cobbles crumblesCopy !req
888. I keep bashing my headCopy !req
889. on trees whose blue leaves up
so high seemCopy !req
890. - planted in the sky
- Planted in the skyCopy !req
891. What's that I hear, that pitter patter?Copy !req
892. Yeah, what's making that noise there?Copy !req
893. It's just rain. You like the rain?Copy !req
894. Miss Acacia adored
the sound of the rain, but...Copy !req
895. She had no idea that she was hearing
the madly beating heartCopy !req
896. of her mini-Prince Charming.Copy !req
897. If only he'd told her where
the pitter-patter truly came from,Copy !req
898. some years later, when the self-same
Jack had crossed half of Europe,Copy !req
899. like a Don Quixote on wheels
tilting at an impossible dream,Copy !req
900. she'd have recognized him even
without her glasses becauseCopy !req
901. she'd have believed in his heart and at last,Copy !req
902. they could sample the inimitable magical
intimacy of blending dream and reality!Copy !req
903. Go on!Copy !req
904. Hey! What do you think
you're doing exactly?Copy !req
905. Erl was practicing kissing you,Copy !req
906. while you were sleepingCopy !req
907. If you really are the boy
from my dream in Edinburgh,Copy !req
908. why did you wait all
this time to say that you are?Copy !req
909. I was afraid you wouldn't remember.Copy !req
910. I just can't make sense of it all.Copy !req
911. What's more, mummy taught me
I should only believe my own eyes.Copy !req
912. Put your glasses on!Copy !req
913. It reminds me of what
happened to my parents.Copy !req
914. They were tricked and
I never saw them again.Copy !req
915. That's when I decided
to flee Edinburgh.Copy !req
916. They gave someone their trust.Copy !req
917. And paid for it.Copy !req
918. We had entered Scotland illegally.Copy !req
919. Mummy and I had no right to stay.Copy !req
920. One day, a neighbor promised
to help us get permits.Copy !req
921. And the next day,
two policemen knocked on the door!Copy !req
922. I lay there in the snow for such a long time
that my feet froze.Copy !req
923. Then my eyes froze, too, in places.Copy !req
924. Soon I was crying tears of ice.Copy !req
925. My eyesight was never very good,Copy !req
926. but since that day, even with my glasses,
I can hardly see a thing.Copy !req
927. This is the key that winds me up.Copy !req
928. Without it, I'd conk out for good.Copy !req
929. You can open me,Copy !req
930. wind me up, do what ever you want.Copy !req
931. If it hurts, tell me, won't you?Copy !req
932. Hurt's not the word I'd use.Copy !req
933. Oh! Does that always happen?Copy !req
934. Don't worry, it's perfectly normal.Copy !req
935. It's... It's just that... It's just I've been
in love with you for so long.Copy !req
936. Really, trust me, it's fine. Keep going.Copy !req
937. You are the key
that opens me totallyCopy !req
938. You may explore my bodyCopy !req
939. From the inside,
give my heart a tweakCopy !req
940. To see if I weepCopy !req
941. When your tongue shimmers
like a prizeCopy !req
942. Gazing in your eyes, I riseCopy !req
943. You make me completeCopy !req
944. My lady keyCopy !req
945. My lady keyCopy !req
946. I know where to pressCopy !req
947. To make you laugh or fryCopy !req
948. I'll scatter butterflies
wherever you lieCopy !req
949. To give you the feeling
you'll take to the skiesCopy !req
950. Flying, flying,
pop go your pretty high heelsCopy !req
951. Let me suspend time so it lastsCopy !req
952. A fraction longer.Copy !req
953. Where've you been hiding, boy?Copy !req
954. And you there! Why are you
bothering with the little runt?Copy !req
955. You're wasting your time!Copy !req
956. Everybody's waiting at the bandstand.
You're on in five minutes.Copy !req
957. Here, I really should be going.Copy !req
958. No. You keep it.Copy !req
959. Don't be silly, it's the key to
your heart, Jack. It's yours!Copy !req
960. No. From now on, it's yours.Copy !req
961. - Let's run away.
- I'm sorry, what?Copy !req
962. Together! After your concert,
we'll make the whole oyster our world!Copy !req
963. Make the world our oyster, you mean.Copy !req
964. Yes, that's exactly what I meant.Copy !req
965. Where would we go?Copy !req
966. I've no idea where yet.
But please say you will!Copy !req
967. Esasi que me has seducidaCopy !req
968. Los ojos en la lunaCopy !req
969. Y el corazon en los calcetinesCopy !req
970. Mi quijoteCopy !req
971. le quieromi quijoteCopy !req
972. miquijoteCopy !req
973. ay miquijoteCopy !req
974. Be careful!Copy !req
975. If those skulls go splitting you'll pay!Copy !req
976. Time to make a break then!Copy !req
977. What will you do with yourself,
you trifling bauble?Copy !req
978. Decorate a clockmaker's window?Copy !req
979. Or even a cemetery?Copy !req
980. The cemetery's a great idea.Copy !req
981. And I already have a tomb.Copy !req
982. Go, scram, beat it! Aaarrrgh!Copy !req
983. - Well then?
- Yes... I- Well then?Copy !req
984. She loves the real me!Copy !req
985. My congratulations, young man!Copy !req
986. Excellent, I'm delighted for you!Copy !req
987. I'm going to pick her up from her concert
and we'll run for the hills together!Copy !req
988. Ah! Run for the heels, you mean.Copy !req
989. Heels, hills, whatever!Copy !req
990. I'm so grateful for everything.Copy !req
991. I couldn't have done it without you!Copy !req
992. We're all going to miss you.Copy !req
993. Write to us from time to time!Copy !req
994. Andalusia! Anda, Anda, Andalusiiiia!Copy !req
995. Jack?Copy !req
996. But you're early, you're running fast!Copy !req
997. Joe?
What on earth brings you here?Copy !req
998. Oh, I always wanted to
see Andalusia one day.Copy !req
999. And given that I'd kept all the
birthday cards you'd sent me,Copy !req
1000. I said to myself,Copy !req
1001. Why don't I drop in on my Miss Acacia?Copy !req
1002. And with a bit of luck,
I might get to hear her sing.Copy !req
1003. That's sweet of you.Copy !req
1004. - You're packing up here?
- Yes.Copy !req
1005. I was reunited with the boy
I loved when I was little... Jack!Copy !req
1006. We leave together tonight!Copy !req
1007. You must be in love still.Copy !req
1008. I'm pleased for you.Copy !req
1009. I didn't recognize him at firstCopy !req
1010. but at the same time, it feels as if it could
never have been anyone else.Copy !req
1011. It's funny, me... being "reunited"
with my childhood enemy here.Copy !req
1012. What?Copy !req
1013. The beating of his heart has haunted
my nights ever since school.Copy !req
1014. I can't abide so much as the
sound of a clock ticking away.Copy !req
1015. It makes me want to be sick!Copy !req
1016. All done, I'm ready!Copy !req
1017. Oh, way back then, dopey little Jack,Copy !req
1018. with that frail sparrow look he had,Copy !req
1019. totally duped me into believing
hat he wasn't really dangerous.Copy !req
1020. Come on, he isn't dangerous!Copy !req
1021. You wouldn't dispute that his heart
is not what you'd call normal.Copy !req
1022. What's wrong with that?Copy !req
1023. His so-called heartCopy !req
1024. was forged from a clock.Copy !req
1025. Trust me, that's not a heart.
It's a grenade,Copy !req
1026. a time bomb ready to explode!Copy !req
1027. And I'm the living proof...
It went off in my face.Copy !req
1028. No, Joe, there must be some mistake.Copy !req
1029. Jack wouldn't harm a fly he's
incapable of hurting someone.Copy !req
1030. Yes, except when he happens
to lose control of his heartCopy !req
1031. and therefore fails to abide...
by the three rules!Copy !req
1032. What rules are they?Copy !req
1033. Firstly, never touchCopy !req
1034. The hands of your heartCopy !req
1035. Rule number twoCopy !req
1036. Keep your temper under controlCopy !req
1037. Last but not leastCopy !req
1038. The most important ruleCopy !req
1039. Whatever else you doCopy !req
1040. Never fall in loveCopy !req
1041. You're happy making me a murderess?Copy !req
1042. What are you talking about?Copy !req
1043. Joe's been telling me about
when you were at school!Copy !req
1044. The three rules, his eye, everything!Copy !req
1045. Joe?Copy !req
1046. You won't get round me with your lies.
I won't believe you!Copy !req
1047. Joe is here?Copy !req
1048. You just happen to forget
something as serious as that?Copy !req
1049. Who are you?Copy !req
1050. I want to know, who is the man I'm...Copy !req
1051. I was falling in love with?Copy !req
1052. I could be the death of you!Copy !req
1053. I refuse to love you! I could kill you.Copy !req
1054. You'd be making me a murderess!Copy !req
1055. That's not my idea of love!
It's just selfish!Copy !req
1056. It's not like that at all!Copy !req
1057. You didn't poke his eye out perhaps?Copy !req
1058. Yes, but, it was an accident.Copy !req
1059. I... I'd have preferred
it 'd never come to that, but...Copy !req
1060. He forgets to mention all the things he
put me through for so many years!Copy !req
1061. That gives you good reason
to gouge out his eye?Copy !req
1062. No, obviously not!Copy !req
1063. But why do you think he traveled all
the way here to rake up the past?Copy !req
1064. He's trying to turn you against me!Copy !req
1065. In order to protect me. That's why.Copy !req
1066. Joe? He never protected anyone!Copy !req
1067. All he ever did was terrorize people
and wreak havoc and he's still doing it.Copy !req
1068. Look what he's done to us!Copy !req
1069. That's right, lose your temper now, too!Copy !req
1070. Listen to me...Copy !req
1071. Don't touch me.Copy !req
1072. Stop that, will you!Copy !req
1073. You're frightening me.Copy !req
1074. I'm sorry!Copy !req
1075. The rain.Copy !req
1076. Leave me alone.Copy !req
1077. My love for you is all topsy turvey
because of my makeshift heart...Copy !req
1078. But it's true love.Copy !req
1079. I admit Madeleine specifically
told me never to fall in love.Copy !req
1080. But still... I put my life in your hands.Copy !req
1081. Since that very first time I saw you singingCopy !req
1082. when you knocked me off my feet,Copy !req
1083. I never stopped looking for youCopy !req
1084. You make me feel so brave.Copy !req
1085. I'd do the craziest things for you!Copy !req
1086. Yes, your behavior's simply insane, I agree.
Now, just count me out!Copy !req
1087. I know I'm doing everything wrong.
It makes me feel sick.Copy !req
1088. Yes, well, I prefer you to be sick,
than dead!Copy !req
1089. Please, leave me alone. Leave me alone!Copy !req
1090. So many long years now that
I've reflected and ruminatedCopy !req
1091. Unable to accept that my adventure
had been terminatedCopy !req
1092. Miss Acacia haunts my poor mind,
whatever I do, whatever I tryCopy !req
1093. I've set out to find her and
the man who gouged my eyeCopy !req
1094. That's right, I refuse to be deterred
I'm here to give the story a new directionCopy !req
1095. I couldn't stay any longer in Edinburgh
floundering in woe and dejectionCopy !req
1096. In my dreams, my love for Miss Acacia
is eternal, undying AndCopy !req
1097. now I'm here to win her backCopy !req
1098. If I don't succeed I'll die tryingCopy !req
1099. I couldn't wait to lock horns again
with my worst enemy, little JackCopy !req
1100. And hearing his accursed ticking
immediately took me backCopy !req
1101. When I caught a glimpse of him In
seconds I felt the pressure start to riseCopy !req
1102. We needed to have a talk but there
was only hatred in his eyesCopy !req
1103. I explained that losing one of mine
changed the way I see things foreverCopy !req
1104. Like him I suffered from my difference,
but revenge wasn't my agendaCopy !req
1105. I 'd bullied him in the past which
cost me an eye and now we're quitsCopy !req
1106. Now the only battle with Jack
I travelled to Spain for's one of witsCopy !req
1107. I understand that he hates me for all
those years of torment he sustainedCopy !req
1108. I humiliated and persecuted him,
caused him every type of painCopy !req
1109. But asking about Miss Acacia on his first
day at school was pretty denseCopy !req
1110. As soon as the question left his lips
I knew he'd signed his death sentenceCopy !req
1111. There's one thing we have in common
and that's we'd both do anything for herCopy !req
1112. But older and wiser now, we can
forget the scraps and slursCopy !req
1113. When I picture taking Miss Acacia home
to Edinburgh my mind goes in a spinCopy !req
1114. But cool and composed I challenge Jack to
a duel and now may the best man winCopy !req
1115. It's no one's fault but your own, Jack.Copy !req
1116. It was all a piece of cake.Copy !req
1117. I expected you to put up a fight.
I'm disappointed in you.Copy !req
1118. You're not worthy of Miss Acacia!Copy !req
1119. Just now, when I stopped
by her dressing room,Copy !req
1120. in no time she was safely
back in my embrace.Copy !req
1121. - I hate you!
- No, Jack!Copy !req
1122. No!Copy !req
1123. Stop it, both of you! No!Copy !req
1124. Come away now!Copy !req
1125. He's out of control!Copy !req
1126. - Look, he's broken!
- Yes, he's all broken.Copy !req
1127. I want to change hearts. Please,
find me a new one!Copy !req
1128. I've had enough of mine always
falling to bits. Madeleine was right.Copy !req
1129. I suppose some spare parts
from my camera might work.Copy !req
1130. I could try to repair you but...Copy !req
1131. No, I'm sick of being patched up!
I want a new one, one that works!Copy !req
1132. Your problem seems to run much deeper
below the wood of your heart.Copy !req
1133. I want you to replace it with a new
one and rewind my dials to zero.Copy !req
1134. I 'II never fall in love!
Ever again!Copy !req
1135. I understand, mon ami,
but you'll be over it in no time.Copy !req
1136. That's all it takes, a little time!Copy !req
1137. But I've run out of time now.Copy !req
1138. I gave my key to Miss Acacia.Copy !req
1139. What? You...Copy !req
1140. You give the key to your heart
to any old spark you meet?Copy !req
1141. Go and get it back right now!Copy !req
1142. I can't. She left with Joe.Copy !req
1143. That key's your life, Jack!
You, you, took a huge risk!Copy !req
1144. I know.Copy !req
1145. You must return home to see
Madeleine immediately!Copy !req
1146. There's still time for her to save you!Copy !req
1147. How long is it since you
wound up your heart?Copy !req
1148. - I don't know anymore.
- There's no time to waste!Copy !req
1149. No, no, it's better if you stay here.Copy !req
1150. I knew the risk I was running.Copy !req
1151. Now I must face the consequences.Copy !req
1152. Besides... Soon you'll shoot the moon,
or at least take a trip there.Copy !req
1153. Two for one love, that's a formula made for you.Copy !req
1154. Be brave, my young friend! Be brave!Copy !req
1155. Bravery is not the problem.Copy !req
1156. You think Jack will get over it?Copy !req
1157. You think he'll decide
to go back to Edinburgh?Copy !req
1158. He needs his family now.Copy !req
1159. It's anyone's guess. But I'll tell you now,
if he heads home,Copy !req
1160. he'll be in for a very unpleasant surprise.Copy !req
1161. Why's that?Copy !req
1162. Just after Jack made his escape,Copy !req
1163. that wicked witch, Madeleine,
was hauled off to prison.Copy !req
1164. There, she wasn't very...Copy !req
1165. You'll have to forgive me,
the left front wheel has smashed to bits!Copy !req
1166. Wasn't very what?Copy !req
1167. Wasn't very happy being locked up.Copy !req
1168. But she wasn't in there for long.Copy !req
1169. She died just a few days after her arrest.Copy !req
1170. Everybody said she died of
a broken heart because of Jack.Copy !req
1171. Because he was forced
to leave town, you mean.Copy !req
1172. You're probably right.Copy !req
1173. That little fool never brings
anyone anything but trouble.Copy !req
1174. What's wrong, now?Copy !req
1175. - Jack gave me his key before we left.
- Wait...Copy !req
1176. I have to go back.Copy !req
1177. Wait...Copy !req
1178. Excuse me, where can I find Jack!Copy !req
1179. He, he's on his way home to Edinburgh!Copy !req
1180. Oh, I was worried he'd do that.Copy !req
1181. It's just, I have his key!Copy !req
1182. There's nothing to worry about.Copy !req
1183. Doctor Madeleine, who saved him
on the day he was bornCopy !req
1184. will find a way to put him back together
even if Jack turns up in smithereens!Copy !req
1185. - But Madeleine's dead!
- Whaaat?Copy !req
1186. Go after him, hurry! SaveJack!
That's what he wants more than anything.Copy !req
1187. I put him on a coach going to Valencia.Copy !req
1188. With any luck, you'll be able
to catch up with himCopy !req
1189. before he gets on the train.Copy !req
1190. Waaaaait! J-just a second!Copy !req
1191. This is the diary I've kept since
the day I first met Jack.Copy !req
1192. It will be something for you
to read on the long journey ahead.Copy !req
1193. Thank you.Copy !req
1194. At his ageCopy !req
1195. besides going rowing and
performing conjuring tricks,Copy !req
1196. I didn't have much to occupy my life.Copy !req
1197. But Jack...Copy !req
1198. It was as if his dreams had
been held prisoner for too longCopy !req
1199. in the wooden cage that was his heart.Copy !req
1200. Meeting Little Miss Acacia
had opened the floodgates.Copy !req
1201. I have never seen someone dream
with such intensity of someone else.Copy !req
1202. Rather than a cuckoo clock, it seemed as if
a seething volcano had been grafted onto him!Copy !req
1203. I half-expected him to shrink,
from spending so much timeCopy !req
1204. in the rain in the course of our journey.Copy !req
1205. A real Don Quixote!
When he tilts at his dream,Copy !req
1206. he is irrepressible...Copy !req
1207. Unstoppable!Copy !req
1208. Jack!Copy !req
1209. - Oh, poor lamb!
- Thanks.Copy !req
1210. Poor creature! Oh! Dear! Hrrmph!Copy !req
1211. Still the same old Jack...
A shrimp with muscles, huh!Copy !req
1212. It looks like Jack has been and caughtCopy !req
1213. himself a rotten bout of flu!Copy !req
1214. Slowly, Jack! Not so fast!Copy !req
1215. Morning, Arthur!Copy !req
1216. His whole spine has
completely rusted up.Copy !req
1217. The merest movement and he creaks.Copy !req
1218. And he's developed a fear of
the cold and rain ever since...Copy !req
1219. Where's Madeleine?Copy !req
1220. Jack, listen, I have to tell you
something using words so heavy,Copy !req
1221. so heavy that I'm not really sureCopy !req
1222. they won't stay stuck in my throat.Copy !req
1223. The day you left Edinburgh...Copy !req
1224. Immediately after
we'd put you on the train...Copy !req
1225. Anna and me hurried up
the mountainside...Copy !req
1226. But when we got here,
the front door was wide open...Copy !req
1227. The house seemed abandoned!Copy !req
1228. Madeleine's workshop was wrecked,
as if it had been struck by a hurricane.Copy !req
1229. Her bottles and jars were
scattered over the floor...Copy !req
1230. Even the cat had disappeared...Copy !req
1231. Arthur, Anna and me set
out to look for Madeleine.Copy !req
1232. And you'll never
guess where we found her.Copy !req
1233. In a prison cell in Calford.Copy !req
1234. - In prison?
- Yes.Copy !req
1235. The police decided to arrest
her after you got away.Copy !req
1236. It was far from the first time
Madeleine had been thrown into jail.Copy !req
1237. We thought that it would sort itself out.Copy !req
1238. Where is she? I want to see her.Copy !req
1239. I'd love to be able to say
that she was set free...Copy !req
1240. That with one hand
she's making your meal...Copy !req
1241. While she repairs
someone with the other...Copy !req
1242. And that despite missing
you terribly, she's in good health.Copy !req
1243. But...Copy !req
1244. Madeleine has passed on.Copy !req
1245. She left her body in that prison cell.Copy !req
1246. I know that sadness
will overwhelm you,Copy !req
1247. but never forget that you gave
her the joy of being a mother.Copy !req
1248. It was the dream of a lifetime for her.Copy !req
1249. She saw you as a fragile little thing
in need of her constant protection.Copy !req
1250. Joined to her by a cord
in the form of a clock.Copy !req
1251. She shuddered at the thought
of you growing up and away.Copy !req
1252. That's... as far as I go.Copy !req
1253. And I'd advise you to consider going
no further, miss.Copy !req
1254. It's haunted up top.Copy !req
1255. Jack!Copy !req
1256. I'm here!Copy !req
1257. Jack.Copy !req
1258. It's not too late,
I can still save you.Copy !req
1259. You already saved me.Copy !req
1260. No, leave this to me Let me
give your heart a turn of the keyCopy !req
1261. You came all the way back here for me.Copy !req
1262. That's the most extraordinary turn
you could ever give my heart.Copy !req
1263. - Thank you.
- Non.Copy !req
1264. From now on,
whatever happens to me,Copy !req
1265. I will only have myself to blame.Copy !req
1266. So now you see, you can kiss me.Copy !req
