Narrator: My story begins when I was a young boy.
The Grandmother: You'll be comfy here in your mama's old room.
I'd do anything for her to be here right now.
Narrator: Grandma was a tough lady with a big heart. And little by little,
she brought me out of my sadness.
¢Ü If you feel that you can't Go on
¢Ü
¢Ü Darling, I'll be there ¢Ü
Narrator: I didn't know it... but there was a dark
shadow looming nearby. Witches... they're real and they hate children.
Mr. Stringer: Welcome.
The Grand High Witch: What would you do if there
were mice running all around this hotel?
Mr. Stringer: I'd call the exterminator.
The Grand High Witch: You see, girls! He would exterminate those brats!
Mr. Stringer: Uh... rats. We would exterminate the rats
.
The Grandmother: I feared this was happening. They're here.
That means a test is coming.
The Grand High Witch: Ladies, I have a plan.
One drop will transform a child into a mouse.
The Boy: -Why are we mouses? -Mice!Whatever.
The Boy: Grandma, it's me!
The Grandmother: Is that you, boy?
We'll never let you get away with your filthy, evil plot.
The Grand High Witch: Who's gonna stop me?
The Grandmother: Doesn't matter who you are or what you look like as
long as somebody loves you.
Mr. Stringer: You wouldn't happen to be
carrying around a mouseon your person. Now would you?
The Grandmother: A mouse?
Why on earth would I be carrying around a mouse?
