:18:00
Look, whatever it is,
we don't want to wake it up.

:18:05
It spoke. How scary.
:18:07
It couldn't have.
:18:11
One, two, three...
:18:14
Yes, there it is again.
:18:16
What's it saying?
:18:18
It sounded like, "Shove off. "
:18:20
- Hello?
- Do you want to lose your nose?

:18:22
It could be a giant talking crab.
:18:24
Oh.
:18:27
Look! A lobster.
:18:30
- After it!
- Don't touch it!

:18:32
I don't know why I said lobster.
:18:34
On this beach, just over there!
:18:36
Come here!
:18:39
- Stay back!
- Aghh!

:18:41
You have to stop talking to it.
It could be dangerous.

:18:45
I bet it has huge fangs
and poisonous saliva.

:18:48
- It's an ugly little monster.
- "It"?

:18:50
It? It?
:18:52
Do you mean to tell me you
do not know what a Psammead is?

:18:56
You're a what?
:18:58
I am a Psammead crustacea
decapodlium wishasaurus.

:19:04
Got it?
:19:05
No.
:19:06
I am a Sand-fairy.
:19:09
- Sand-fairy?
- Yeah.

:19:11
I thought fairies had little ballet dresses
and wings and wands.

:19:15
What on earth have you been reading?
:19:18
I'll call you Sandy.
:19:19
- Why?
- Because we found you in the sand.

:19:22
You're so funny.
Have your parents tried boiling you?

:19:25
That's it. Come on.
:19:28
- Don't like that "boiling" line, do you?
- Robert, now!

:19:31
Kids don't like that.
:19:34
- Off you go...
- Come here.

:19:35
Did you know
that fairies in books can grant wishes?

:19:39
All right, all right. I will grant you your wishes.
:19:42
But... I have a list of demands.
:19:44
My needs are minimal
but what I need is a state room,

:19:47
with a sunken bath and those taps
that go backwards and forwards.

:19:51
And I need a toothbrush made of gold.
Not the bristles, but the bit you hold.

:19:55
Gold bristles would hurt my gums.
:19:56
Did that once.
:19:58
Anyway, I'd like white sand spread on the floor,
preferably sand from the Bahamas.
