My Little Labyrinth: the Movie

Part Two

In the last scene, Jareth had just finished singing with the goblins.

*Meanwhile, the other ponies and Megan still wander through the maze.*

Gusty (groaning): Another dead end!

*As the ponies turn to head back, two doors with strange "guards" in front of them appear.*

Alph: No, that's the dead end behind you!

Megan: What in the HECK?

Shady: Oh no! What if they're evil! What if they're planning to give us freaky hair and wear spandex and . . .

All: Shut up, Shady!

Magic Star: So what's up with you doors?

Ralph: One of us leads to certain death, the other leads towards the center of the Labyrinth!

Gusty: Okay--so which of you is which?

Alph: Ah, but only one of us will tell the truth, and the other will always lie! It's tricky!

Megan (unimpressed): Or we could simply *open* both the doors and discover which leads to certain death.

Ralph: That's not fair!

Magic Star: You say that so often . . . I wonder what your basis for comparison is!

Ralph (ignoring Magic Star): And you can only ask one of us.

Megan: Okay, okay, I'll go along with this. (looking at Alph) Here's my question: is Magic Star yellow or pink?

Alph: Um, she's pink.

Megan: Great. Now--does your door lead to certain death?

Ralph: We never said you could ask more than one question!

Magic Star: You didn't say we couldn't!

Gusty: Yeah, we should get one question per person at *least*!

Alph (grumbling): No, my door doesn't lead to certain death.

Gusty: I'll take door number two, please.

Megan: Piece of cake!

*Everyone crowds through the right door--only to fall into a chute! Helping hands try to catch them, but the ponies are too heavy, and the hands are simply yanked from the walls instead. The ponies land safely on a pile of hands.*

Shady: Oh no, we're stuck in an oubliette and it's all my fault!

Gusty: Yeah, it *is* your fault! It's your bad luck!

Magic Star: You're just grumpy because we've been left to fester and rot in an oubliette! It's not her fault!

Gusty: Yes it is! Yes it *is*!

*The ponies look for a way out. Gusty continues muttering about how it's Shady's fault.*

*Meanwhile, Spike and Baby Lickety-Split are surrounded by goblins.*

Baby Lickety-Split: I don't like this place!

Jareth: Haha! See, now the dwarf will lead your friends back to the beginning of the maze! You will both become goblins!

Spike (whispering to Baby Lickety-Split): Don't worry, the other ponies will rescue us!

Baby Lickety-Split: I don't want to wait for them!

*She begins running through the castle.*

Spike: Lickety! Wait!

Jareth: HEY!

Baby Lickety-Split (singing): I'll go it alone! I'll go it alooooone!

*Elsewhere, Hoggle arrives at the oubliette.*

Hoggle: Eh, great news, little horses--

Gusty: Ponies.

Hoggle: Whatever! I've come to help you find your way out of this oubliette, out of the Labyrinth!

Fizzy: Out? But we're trying to find our way further in!

Megan: Fizzy's right! We can't lose hope!

*Megan begins singing.*

Megan: There's always another rainbow, search until you find it!
Don't look at the clouds, look behind it,
There's a rainbow there somewhere!
There's always another . . .

Hoggle: All right, all right, I'll help you! Just stop singing!

*Hoggle puts a door against the wall and opens it. Sunlight streams in.*

Fizzy: Wow! Neat!

*The ponies (and Megan) follow Hoggle down the corridors lined with talking stones.)

Stone1: This is not the right way!

Stone2: Beware! Doom lies this way!

Stone3: Step AWAY from the car!

Stone4: Take heed and go no further!

Megan: This is like a twisted Easter Island . . .

*A crystal ball rolls by and leaps into the cup of a beggar.*

Beggar: Well, well, what've we here?

Shady: Oh no! What if that beggar turns into the Goblin King and he turns us all into goblins and we all die?

All: Shut up, Shady!

Beggar: AHEM! Well, well, what've we here?

Hoggle: Uh . . . nothing!

*The beggar turns into Jareth in a puff of glitter.*

Jareth: Nothing? Nothing? Nothing?! NOTHING, tra la la??

Megan: What do you think, Little Ponies?

Magic Star: Sounds like a song cue to me!

*The Little Ponies burst into song while Jareth and Hoggle look on, aghast.*

Megan: Don't know which way to walk?
Magic Star: Have you had a nasty shock?
Fizzy: Lost in corridors of ro-ock?
Shady (spoken): We sure are!
Megan: Well, don't lose hope! Don't despair! There's a path out--somewhere!
Little Ponies: Tra la la!

Shady: Are you stuck in a maze?
Fizzy: Is your brain all in a haze?
Gusty (spoken): Yours always is!
Magic Star: You won't be in there all your days! So . . .
Megan: Don't lose hope! Don't despair! There's a path out--somewhere!
Little Ponies: Tra la la!

Jareth (spoken): I don't believe this.

Gusty: Though all hope may seem lost . . .
Shady: Oh, maybe there's too high a cost!
Fizzy (spoken): Come on, Shady, brighten up!
Magic Star: Doubts and fears must be tossed!
Megan: Yeah! Don't lose hope! Don't despair! There's a path out--somewhere!
Little Ponies: Tra la la!

Jareth: I'm going to go off and be ill now. Hoggle, staying with these . . . creatures . . . is surely punishment enough for anyone. But be warned--if they stop singing and you help them . . .

*Jareth glares and Hoggle cowers.*

Hoggle: Of course, your Majesty!

*The ponies are still singing.*

Fizzy: Oh, the Labyrinth's a scary place!
Shady: Hardly a friendly face!
Gusty: And we have a clock to race!
Magic Star (spoken): That's true, but . . .
All: We won't lose hope! Won't despair! ‘Cause there's a way out--somewhere!

Gusty: Somewhere--tra la la!
Magic Star: Somewhere--tra la la la!
Shady: Somewhere--tra la la!
Fizzy: Somewhere--tra la la la!
All: Somewheeeeeere! Tra la LA!

*The ponies stop singing.*

Magic Star: Hey, where'd the Goblin King go?

Gusty: He didn't even join in the chorus. What a doofus!

Fizzy: Maybe he can't sing!

Gusty: Yeah, and maybe those tights cut off the circulation to his brain! So where do we go now?

Hoggle (still recovering from the song): Uhhhh . . . Well . . . Gee, you sure got his attention! Oh, here we go! This is what we need--a ladder! Um, can you ponies climb ladders?

Magic Star: We can play tennis and play the drums; I don't see why we wouldn't be able to climb a ladder!

Gusty: Hang on a second! Why should we trust you, shorty?

Hoggle: Let me put it this way--what choice have you got?

Gusty: Let me put it this way--I wouldn't want to *accidentally* step on you!

Hoggle: Okay, okay! The truth is, I kind of like you weird little horses--

Fizzy: Ponies.

Hoggle: . . . and your weird little songs! See, you've got to understand my position. I'm a coward, and Jareth scares the pants off of me!

Shady: His pants scare me too!

Megan: His pants scare all of us!

Hoggle: You wouldn't be so brave if you'd ever smelled the Bog of Eternal Stench, y'see!

Fizzy: It just smells bad?

Hoggle: Believe me, that's enough!

Magic Star: Oh, I don't know. I've been in the same room with Gusty's old gym suit; how much worse could it be?

Gusty: HEY!

Hoggle: But the worst thing is that if you put a foot in the Bog of Stench, you'll smell bad for the rest of your life! It won't wash off!

*The ponies and Hoggle climb the ladder and end up in a large hedge maze.*

Hoggle: Ah, here we are, then! You're on your own from now on!

Megan: What?

Hoggle: That's it, I quit!

Magic Star: Wait a minute! Hoggle!

Hoggle: I said I'd take you as far as I could!

Fizzy: But that's cheating!

Hoggle: Now don't try to embarrass me, I've got no pride!

Shady: But what if we get lost without you? What if a mad killer with a cell phone wearing a mask begins stalking us and we all die?

All: Shut up, Shady!

Gusty: Fine, short stuff! I guess we'll just have to tell Jareth how *helpful* you were when we find him! We'll be sure to say how *instrumental* you were in getting us into the castle!

Hoggle (cowering): No! Not that! That's not fair!

Gusty: Tough! That's the way it is!

*The ponies start singing again.*

Gusty: Fair! Fair! Fair!
Who said that life was fair?
Magic Star: Anyway, what basis have you to compare?
Magic Star and Gusty: Fair! Fair! Fair! Life is never fair!

Fizzy: Fair! Fair! Fair!
Of brains I'm missing half my share!
‘Course, I really don't care, but . . .
Magic Star, Fizzy, and Gusty: Fair! Fair! Fair! Life is never fair!

Magic Star: Fair! Fair! Fair!
Rich and poor--that's so unfair!
"Do you have some change to spare?"
Fizzy, Magic Star, and Gusty: Fair! Fair! Fair! Life is never fair!

Shady: Fair! Fair! Fair!
Even mice give me a scare!
I would *never* take a dare!
All the ponies: Fair! Fair! Fair! Life is never fair!

Megan: Fair! Fair! Fair!
Even Jar-eth's life's unfair!
Seen the clothes he has to wear?
All: Fair! Fair! Fair! Life is never fair!
Fair! Fair! Fair! Life is so unfair!

*The ponies stop singing.*

*Suddenly a wiseman with a bird hat appears.*

Wiseman: All this singing has woken me up! What's going on?

Hoggle: Cor!

Megan: Excuse me please, but can you help us?

Wiseman: Oh! A young girl! And a bunch of ponies!

Hat: Whoo whoo whoo!

Wiseman: And who is this?

Magic Star: He's our friend!

Wiseman: Oh. What can I do for you?

Fizzy: We need to get to the castle to find Spike and Baby Lickety-Split!

Shady: Do you know the way?

Wiseman: Ah.

Hat: Ah.

Wiseman: Eh?

Hat: Eh?

Wiseman: Oh yes. You want to get to the castle?

Hat: How's that for brain power, huh?

Gusty: No kidding!

Wiseman: Be quiet!

Hat: Aw, nuts!

Wiseman: So, young woman and equines, the way forward is sometimes the way back!

Hat: Aye! Will you listen to this crap!

Wiseman: Will you please be quiet!

Hat: All right!

Wiseman: Okay?

Hat: Okay.

Wiseman: All right.

Hat: All right. Sorry.

Wiseman: Finished?

Hat: (pause) Yes.

Wiseman: Quite often it seems like we're not getting anywhere, when, in fact . . .

Hat: We are.

Wiseman (glaring at hat): . . . we are!

Gusty: Yeah, well we're not getting anywhere at the moment!

Hat: Ha! Join the club!

*The wiseman starts snoring.*

Hat: Uh, I think that's your lot! Just leave a contribution in the little box!

*The ponies start walking away.*

Hat: HEY! I said to put a contribution in . . .

Gusty: For a couple cryptic words? I don't think so!

Hat: Ahh, stupid ponies!

Hoggle: Why did you say I was your friend?

Gusty: Because it's easier than saying "This is the stupid little cowardly dwarf we're following around for no good reason."

Megan and Magic Star: GUSTY!

Fizzy: We said that because you *are* our friend, Boggle!

Hoggle: The name's *Hoggle!*

Megan: Even if you don't know it!

*Megan starts singing and the ponies join in.*

Megan: There's nothing quite like a frie-en-end!
Magic Star: Yeah! They'll always help you right until the end!
Megan: Though you're depressed and feeling blu-u-ue . . .
Fizzy: A friend is a person who can pull you through!
All: Friends! Friends! Short and tall!
Friends! Friends! Love them all!
Friends! Friends! Forever and a day!
Friends! Friends won't lead you astray!

Shady: If you are feeling lost and scare-ar-ared . . .
Fizzy: You need a friend to show you someone cared!
Magic Star: If night-time monsters block your pa-a-ath . . .
Gusty: You need a friend to show those mon-sters some wrath! Yeah!
All: Friends! Friends! Short and tall!
Friends! Friends! Love them all!
Friends! Friends! Forever and a day!
Friends! Friends won't lead you astray!

Friends! Friends! Short and tall!
Friends! Friends! Love them all!
Friends! Friends! Forever and a day!
Friends! Friends won't lead you astray!
HEY!

*The ponies finish singing.*

Hoggle: Friend! Huh, I like that! I ain't never been no one's friend before!

*Roaring is heard in the distance.*

Hoggle: Oh! Goodbye!

Magic Star: Wait a minute! Are you our friend or not?

Hoggle: No, Hoggle ain't no one's friend! Hoggle looks after himself, like everyone else! Hoggle is Hoggle's friend!

Fizzy: Hoggle! Wait!

Gusty: You coward!

*More roaring in the distance.*

Gusty: Well, I'm not afraid!

Shady: I am! What if it's a huge lizardy monster that's laid its eggs all over New York? Oh no!

All: Shut up, Shady!

*The ponies and Megan creep up and find a bunch of guards torturing a big hairy animal.*

Megan: If only I had something to throw!

Gusty: Or--I could just do this!

*Gusty concentrates and a great wind rises and sweeps the guards away.*

Fizzy: How did you do that?

Gusty: Um--earth to Fizzy! That's my special unicorn power, remember? Just like your power is making bubbles, Bubblehead!

Fizzy: Oh. Right, I remember that now!

*The monsters howls.*

Magic Star: Now stop that! Is that any way to treat people who are trying to help you?

Monster: Hrrrr . . .

Megan: Do you want us to let you down?

Monster: Ludo . . . down!

Shady: Is your name Ludo?

Ludo: Ludo.

Fizzy: Don't worry, Ludo! I'll get you down, yep yep yep!

*Fizzy runs and unties the rope. Ludo falls and begins moaning.*

Fizzy: Oops! Sorry!

Ludo: Fwiends?

Shady: Uh . . . I guess so. I'm Shady.

Ludo: Shady . . . fwiend!

*Ludo tries to hug Shady, who backs away.*

Shady: AHHHH!!!

Ludo: Fwiends?

Megan: I'm Megan.

Fizzy: I'm Fizzy!

Ludo: Fizzy . . . drop Ludo! Not fwiend!

Magic Star: Oh, Fizzy didn't *mean* to drop you, Ludo! She *is* your friend! So am I! I'm Magic Star!

Gusty: Yeah, yeah, I'm Gusty, pleased to meet you--can we GO now?

Magic Star: Now, wait just a second. Ludo, do you know a way to the castle at the center of the Labyrinth?

Ludo: Umm . . . (long pause) No.

Gusty (sarcastically): Gee, what a shock!

Megan: I wonder if anyone knows . . .

*Elsewhere, Hoggle is walking away from the ponies.*

Hoggle: Get through the Labyrinth? Get through the Labyrinth? One thing's for sure, they'll never get through the Labyrinth! Cor!

*The ponies and Ludo wander through the maze. Suddenly, two doors appear. The knockers are shaped like faces.*

Shady: Where did they come from?

Ludo: Hmm?

Magic Star: Which should we choose out of these two characters?

Knocker1: It's very rude to stare!

Shady: AHHHH!!! They're alive!!!

Gusty: Who asked you anyway, metal mouth?

Knocker1: What?

Knocker2: Hm cmph hr vyu!

Knocker1: Stop talking with your mouth full!

Knocker2: Mm nt tlkg wth my mth fll!

*Megan removes the ring from the mouth of Knocker2.*

Knocker2: Oh, thank you! It's so good to get that thing out!

Fizzy: What were you saying?

Knocker2: Oh, it's no good talking to him, he's deaf as a post!

Knocker1: Mumble, mumble, you're a wonderful conversationalist!

Knocker2: All you do is moan!

Knocker1: No good. Can't hear you.

Megan: Where do these door lead?

Knocker2: Search me! We're just the knockers!

Shady: How do we get through?

Knocker2: Knock and the door will open.

Megan: Oh.

*Megan tries to put the ring back in Knocker2's mouth.*

Knocker2: I won't want that back in my mouth!

Fizzy: But we want to knock!

Knocker1: Doesn't want his knocker back, eh? Can't say I blame him.

Gusty (shrugging): No problem.

*Gusty knocks on the door with her hoof. The door opens and they all go through. Megan still carries the ring.*

*Meanwhile, back in Jareth's throne room . . . Baby Lickety-Split and Spike have been captured and the doors to the throne room have been locked. Baby Lickety-Split is sulking.*

Jareth (looking at Baby Lickety-Split): She's a cute little thing. She's got my eyes.

Baby Lickety-Split (whining): Why does everything have to happen to me?

Goblins: Ha ha ha ha!

*In the meantime, Ludo and the ponies and Megan have wandered into a garden.*

Ludo: Ludo scared!

Gusty: Oh, I *knew* we shouldn't have taken him along!

Magic Star: Gusty! Be nice!

Megan: Oh, give me your hand! Imagine a big thing like you being afraid!

Ludo: Yeah.

Fizzy: See, Ludo? There's nothing to be afraid of!

*Ludo falls through a secret pit behind the ponies. They turn around and see that he's gone.*

Gusty: Hey, where'd the abominable snowman go?

Magic Star: Ludo?

Fizzy: He's gone!

Shady: Oh no! What if little bipedal dinosaurs with big curved claws came and killed him? Oh no!

Megan: Ludo! Ludo! Where are you?

Fizzy: Ludo! Ludo!

Gusty: Well, he's gone. C'mon, let's get going.

Magic Star: Ludo! Ludo!

*From afar, Hoggle has heard the ponies and Megan.*

Hoggle: I'm coming, Little Ponies!

Jareth (appearing out of nowhere): Well, if it isn't you! And where are you going?

Hoggle: Uh, well the ponies gave me the slip, but I hears them now, so I was going to lead them back to the beginning, like you told me.

Jareth: I see. For one moment I thought you were running to help them. But no, not after my warnings. That *would* be stupid.

Hoggle: You bet it would! Me? Help them? After your warnings? Ha ha ha!

Jareth: Oh dear, poor Hoghead.

Hoggle: Hoggle.

Jareth: Yes. I thought I heard singing a while ago.

Hoggle: Uh, yes, singing. It was terrible! I'm sure I'll needs therapy! But first, I'm off to take the ponies back to the beginning of the Labyrinth, just like we planned!

Jareth: Wait, I've got a much better plan. (tossing Hoggle a peach) Give them this.

Hoggle: W-what is it?

Jareth: It's a present.

Hoggle: It won't hurt them, will it?

Jareth: Now, why the concern?

Hoggle: I wouldn't want to hurt the Little Ponies.

Jareth: Come, Hogbrain! I'm surprised at you, losing your head over a girl and a bunch of ponies! Singing ponies, at that!

Hoggle: I ain't lost my head!

Jareth: You don't seriously think that a bunch of colorful ponies could possibly like a repulsive scab like you, do you?

Hoggle: Well, maybe not Gusty, but they others said we was . . .

Jareth: What? Bosom companions? . . . Friends?

Hoggle: They sang a whole song about it!

Jareth: You'll give that to them, Hoggle, or I'll tip you straight into the Bog of Eternal Stench!

Hoggle: Yes. Right.

Jareth: And, Hoggle, if they ever sing a song solely about you, I'll turn you into a prince!

Hoggle: Y-you will?

Jareth: Prince of the land of stench! Ha ha ha! Man, I crack me up!

*Meantime, back with the ponies...*

Megan: Ludo! Ludo!

Gusty: He's GONE! Deal with it!

*The ponies hear noises in the woods.*

Fizzy: What's going on?

Shady: Oh no! What if it's a bunch of starving pumas come to tear us to shreds? Oh no!

All: Shut up, Shady!

*A Firey pops his head up. (Firies look like insane red, furry muppets. Probably because they are.)*

Megan: Who are you?

Magic Star: What do you want?

Firey: Yah!

Firey: Ha ha ha!

Firey: Yahoo!

Firey: We're out to have a good time!

Firey: That's right!

Firey: Yeah!

*The Firey's start singing and jumping around.*

Firey: Don't have no problems!
Firies: No problems!
Firey: Ain't got no suitcase!
Firies: No suitcase!
Firey: Ain't got no clothes to worry about!
Firey: Ain't got no real estate or jewelry or gold mines to hang me up!
I just throw in my hand!
Firies: Throw in my hand!
Firey: We're the chilliest bunch in the land!

Magic Star (whispering to Megan): Maybe they know King Charlatan!

Firey: They don't look much, but they're sure chilly chilly!
They're positively glow glow, huh!
Firies: Chilly down with the wild gang!
Think small with the wild gang!
Bad hep with the wild gang!
Firey: Don't lose your head!
Firies: When your thing gets wild,
Firies: Chilly down, chilly down with the wild gang!
Firey (spoken): Hey, I'm a wild child!
Firies: Walk tall with the wild gang!
Firey (spoken): Whoo! Walk tall!
Firies: Good times, bad food!
Firey (spoken): Bleh! Blub blub blub blub!
Firies: When your thing gets wild chilly down, chilly down!

*A firey removes his eyes and rolls them on the ground.*

Firey (spoken): Yeah! Roll 'em!
Firies: Snake eyes!

Fizzy (giggling): Wow, that's great!

Firey: Ha ha ha!
Firey: All right!
Firey: So when things get too rough
Firey: Your skin is dragging on the ground!
Firey: And even down looks up!
Fireys: Down looks up . . .
Firey: Bad luck
Firies (spoken): Ha ha ha!
Firey: We can show you a good time...
Firies: Show you a good time!
Firey: And we don't charge nothin'!
Firies: Nothin' at all!
Firey: Just strut your stuff!
Firey: Wiggle in the middle, yeah!
Firey: Get the town talking, by god!
Firies: Chilly down with the wild gang!
Firey: Think small!
Firies: Think small with the wild gang!
Firey: Bad hep!
Fireys: Bad hep, happy wild gang!
Firey (spoken): Hey, listen up!
Firies: When your thing gets wild, chilly down, chilly down with the wild gang!
Firey (spoken): Shake your pretty little head.
Firey (spoken): Tap your pretty little feet.
Firies: Good times, bad food!
Firey (spoken): come on, come on!

*The firies stop singing and start trying to pull the ponies heads off.*

Firey: Hey! Their heads don't come off!

Gusty: Well, no DUH!

Magic Star: Of course they don't!

Firey: She's right.They're stuck on.

Firey: Where you going with a head like that?

Firey: I know what we can do. Take off their heads!

Firey: Yeah, let's take them apart!

Gusty: Let's NOT!

*Gusty kicks the head off a firey. The other ponies follow suit.*

Firey: Hey, lady, that's his head! Hey, that's *my* head.

Firey: That's a friend of mine!

Firey: What are you doing?

*Megan wedges the ring from the knocker into the branchs of a tree and the ponies begin playing basketball with the Firies' heads.*

Firey: Hey!

Firey: Whoa!

Firey: Hey! It's against the rules to throw other people's heads! You're only allowed to throw your own head.

Firey: That's right!

Firey: Where's the referee?

Firey: Now we take your head off!

Shady: Run!

*The ponies all begin running away.*

Firey: Stop them, somebody!

Firey: Come back, little ponies.

Firey: Play the game.

Firey: Who gets to throw your head?

Firey: Hey, you can't quit!

Firey: The game's not over!

Megan: Leave us alone!

Firey: We get a free throw!

Firey: Don't you want us to take your heads off?

*Suddenly a ladder falls over the side of the wall in front of the ponies.*

Magic Star: Hoggle!

Firey: You can look like us!

Gusty: Which part of "leave us alone" do you not understand?

*The ponies begin climbing up the ladder.*

Firey: Take off your heads!

Firey: Get a saw!

Firey: An ear! Take off an ear! You don't need two ears!

Firey: The game's almost over!

Hoggle: Shoo! Go away!

Megan: Hoggle! You've come to help us!

Magic Star: What a noble thing to do!

Shady: You saved us!

Gusty: Yeah--almost makes up for *abandoning* us before.

Fizzy: Hooray for Higgle!

Hoggle: Hoggle!

Megan: *This* deserves a song!

Hoggle: No!

*Music starts up in the background, but everyone falls down a pit before they can start singing.*

All: Aieeeeee!!!
