Stanley's Dragon

Stanley Katz:
Dinnertime for dinosaurs.

Stanley Katz:
He couldn't be a, a dinosaur, could he?

Rosie Bennett:
[laughs] Don't be silly, Stanley. Dinosaurs are... extinct. Millions of years.

Stanley Katz:
Locked in a time capsule.

Rosie Bennett:
Deep-frozen in a natural cryogenic chamber.

Stanley Katz, Rosie Bennett:
He's a dinosaur!

Rosie Bennett:
Dragon? They're mythological, Stanley. Dinosaurs really existed.

Stanley Katz:
Well, how do we know that dragons didn't?

Rosie Bennett:
Well, no one's found any fossils.

Stanley Katz:
Because they developed much more recently than dinosaurs.

Rosie Bennett:
Well, then why aren't there any dragons today?

Stanley Katz:
Because we wiped them out. I've been reading all the dragon legends. What are they all about? They're all about killing dragons. And anyway, dragons can't be some kind of race memory about, of, of dinosaurs. We weren't around when dinosaurs were. We didn't show up for another 67 million years.

Stanley Katz:
Ollie, I think you're about to learn why Man is the dominant species on this planet.

[after Ollie flies away]

Stanley Katz:
I wonder what'll happen to him. I wonder where he'll go.

Rosie Bennett:
I wonder what'll happen to us. We stole a dragon!

Stanley Katz:
No, Rosie. No, we just, we saved one.

Sgt. Appleyard:
Is there something else you want to tell me?

Sally Bennett:
I don't think so. Except...

Sgt. Appleyard:
Yes?

Sally Bennett:
Well, they genuinely believe Ollie would have died in that zoo. They simply wanted to give him a chance. And after all, he is really Stanley's dragon, isn't he?
