SIDE 1

Samantha? It's me, Stanley.

Stanley? Oh, my gosh!

(SAMANTHA gives STANLEY a hug then notices that STANLEY is flat.)

What happened to you?

I had a little accident.

Are you OK?

Yeah, but I look pretty weird...

Not at all. In fact, I think you look kinda cute.

Seriously?

Seriously. But, I've always thought you were cute, Stanley.

I don't know what to do.

About what...

About being flat.

What do you want to do?

Cool things. New things.

Then do them.

It's not that easy.

How'd you get here?

Mom and Dad sent me in the mail.

Seriously? You can do that?

Yeah.

Can you go anywhere?

Anywhere they deliver the mail.

So where do you wanna go?

SIDE 2

And even Luke and Harry need their rest.

Good night, kids.

(MR. and MRS. LAMBCHOP begin to exit the room.)

Dad?

What is it, Arthur?

Will you leave the night-light on?

We'll leave the night-light on. Now, get some sleep.

I'm making slumber party pancakes in the morning!

(MR. and MRS. LAMBCHOP exit; they turn out the lights.)

Psst. Arthur. You asleep?

No. Not yet.

Hey, Stanley. You asleep?

Nope.

Psst, Caleb, you asleep?

We're all awake Sophie, why?

Just checking... Hey, Arthur!

What, Sophie?

What would you wish for if you could wish on a falling star?

I'd wish for an "A" on my science test.

That's it? That's the best you can think of?

I guess so. What would you wish for?

A new bike.

A million dollars...

More wishes!

Hey, Stanley, what would you wish for?

I'd wanna do something amazing, be someone cool. Like...well...

SIDE 3

(A magical figure emerges from above the bulletin board.)

Stanley! Staaaaaanley!

Who's talking?

Psst, check out the bulletin board lil' britches.

(STANLEY looks at the bulletin board and sees it has come to life. STANLEY falls out of bed.)

What's going on!

I'm here to make your wish come true.

This has gotta be a dream.

Did you make a wish on a falling star?

I did.

And do you want that wish to come true, no matter what happens?

I don't know...

Pick up the pace, sour face  you want this wish no matter what?

I think so.

Then let's review! You wanna travel the world, do something amazing, something the world's never seen before, no matter what.

Is that possible?

Totally possible. Now... how best to do it? Magic carpet? Naw, too obvious. Nose that grows when he lies? That's just creepy. Oh, I got it. Yeah... That's flat out fun.

Uh, talking-bulletin-board-fairy-santa-thingy... dream over?

Dream over. Sleep tight, or should I say... flat.

Sleep flat? What's that supposed to mean?
(STANLEY yawns.)
What a crazy night.

(STANLEY falls asleep.)

SIDE 4

Outta my way kid, I got people to see, movies to pitch, stars to shine.

(The HOLLYWOOD AGENT and ASSISTANTS push past STANLEY in a hurry.)

Oh, sorry.

(stopping suddenly)
Did you just see a flat kid?

What?

Hold the phone!

Everyone, stay calm, take a looksie.

(The HOLLYWOOD AGENT and ASSISTANTS turn towards STANLEY)

It's a flat kid alright, it's official. I have now seen it all. Get me the Ripley's Believe it Or Not! people on the phone  they gotta see this

(The HOLLYWOOD AGENT begins to exit.)

Wait! I'm Stanley Lambchop, and I'm new in town

'Course you are.

I was sent here via airmail.

And I thought the bus was rough. Ha!

I was wondering if

(interrupting)
I could make you a star?!

Actually, I just need directions

Do you have any idea to whom you are speaking?

No...

Let's just say if it weren't for this person right here, SpongeBob would still be wearing round pants.
