Magic Spot | Time Travel Comedy | Full Movie

(soft sentimental music) - "Be careful at the magic spot." - "Do not use it when it's hot." - "In the cold there's none to fear." - "Stand on the rock, announce the year." - [Children] "Within your past, can't change the day. Come back home and acclimate." - Winter in Tussleville, ice, snow, cold. Harsh gusts of wind. All the tourists have left our summertime village. Only the toughest of us are brave enough to stay and wait out winter by the fire, with a mug of hot chocolate with whipped cream.

Winter isn't over, but the worst is behind us. The snow is melting in the warmer parts of town. Oh say, can you see more than five feet on a foggy night at the Tussleville lighthouse? (audience clapping) - Well, that'll do it for tonight's episode of "Tussleville Talent Tonight", and oh, what a show it was. Cooking tips from Chris Woodward, and who'll forget "The Worm Song" from AC Kumar, accompanied by an amazing worm dance from Luddy. And of course the latest spoken word piece from JP McD. Wh

at an episode. Many thanks to my cousin, Poopy McMillan. I'm Walter Moore signing, oh hang on. I'm hearing from our director, Jimmy Overstreet, that we actually have a little more time to fill. Poopy, how about a little more music? Good citizens of Tussleville, JP McD's piece on winter tonight has reinforced my belief that we are a strong people. We earn our money from the tourists in the summer, and we stick it out in the harsh environment every winter, that makes us tough. Tussleville really i

s a magic spot. That's what my Uncle Dan used to tell me and my cousins when we'd sit by the fire, isn't that right Poopy? Good old Uncle Dan, I wish I coulda known him better. Stories about him are legendary. He's the only person we know who could've found a way to die of hypothermia in the middle of the summer. I guess when it's hot around here, it's really just a relative thing. Anyway, goodnight Tussleville. If you'd like to join us on the show, come to the studio on a Tuesday night. "Tussle

ville Talent Tonight", if you don't catch us live, you don't catch us at all. (audience applauding) - And that's a wrap. (hands slapping) Great work everyone, I am gonna get the record button back on. - Great show, Poopy. - Yeah. - JP McD, you were amazing as always. - You got me thinking about Dan, boy. He was really something else. If he was still around, he would perform in this show every week. - I wish he could have. - For all us cousins, he was our favorite uncle, what with his devil-may-c

are attitude and his love for poetry. - Of course he was, he was everyone's favorite. I didn't know you guys were old enough to remember him. - Some of my earliest memories are of us cousins sitting by the fire as Uncle Dan taught us funny rhymes. - It must have been fun poems for you to stay awake, Poopy. - What can I say? I'm tired. - Nice show, Jimmy. - Thanks, JP McD. (soft curious music) Think about it, "Tussleville Talent Tonight", live on location. Mr. Hitchens says the equipment is, you

know, too expensive, but I have offered to go in for half, and he seems amenable to the idea. - That's dedication Jimmy, most impressive. (whipped cream spraying) - "In the cold, there's none to fear. In the cold, there's no to fear." (gasping) Oh, sorry guys. I think I fell asleep for a spell. - Of course you fell asleep, Poopy. What did you think was gonna happen when you wrapped yourself up in that nap nap blanket? - I know, I know, but it's just so cold. Anyway, what did I miss? - I was just

talking about doing live on location editions of the show. - That would be real nice. It'll add a little excitement to the proceedings. - "In the cold there's none to fear." Where have I heard that before, Poopy? - It was my line from the poem that Uncle Dan taught us by the fire. - Right, you had Uncle Dan on your mind. What was my line in that poem? Remember, he gave each of us a line. I think I went first. It was, "Be careful at the magic spot." - That's it, yeah. We each said a line, and th

en we all did the refrain together. - Yes. (soft uneasy music) (phone ringing) Alyssa. - Hi Walter, how's the cold treating you? - It makes us tough, how's the warmth treating you? - I'm probably not as tough as I used to be, but I like being warm. Anyway, I'd like to reserve a spot to perform on your show next week. - Nice, you'll be back in in Tussleville. I'll pencil you in. - My two-year residency has ended at the Big City Lounge. - Everybody's gonna be so happy to see you. - While I'm home,

I might let you take me around town. - But of course I'll have to jump through a few hoops first, right? - Of course, just answer one question. What was I wearing the last time you took me out? - Challenge accepted. Tess Howard, how are you? - Great show last night, Walter. Although you made a mistake about your uncle. - Okay. - He didn't think Tussleville was a magic spot. He thought Tussleville had a magic spot. - Can you elaborate? Magic how? - I don't know. I'm just telling you what your un

cle believed. - Did you ever go there? - He took me there a few times when we were younger. We used to be sweethearts, you know. - Ooh la la. - It's out on Agony Ridge, where they found him dead. - Poor Uncle Dan. How does a guy die of hypothermia in the summer? - I don't know, but I'm still heartbroken about it. He was going to propose to me. He used to write poetry for me. - Bye bye. Delivery. - Thank you Walter, everything we wanted. How about some hot chocolate? - Great show last night, but

one thing. - Nah, Mrs. Howard already told me. It's not that the town is a magic spot. It's that the town has a magic spot. - Not that, it's just an Uncle Dan died before any of you were born. - I distinctly remember sitting at the fireplace after meals at Poopy's house. Uncle Dan taught a poem for all of us cousins to recite. - I even checked my scrapbook. See, he died in 1974. - Hmm, so you're telling me that before family dinners at Poopy's house, the cousins and I would just sit by the firep

lace and recite a poem outta nowhere? - You were all so creative. - Why don't you play us a song, son? - Okay. (gentle piano music) - You're an entertainer, just like your Uncle Dan. (gentle piano music continues) (phone ringing) - Hey, you already have your answer? - Oh, I already know the answer. I'm just gonna drag it out a little longer for the drama. - You're bluffing. - This is a business call, actually. I'm gonna be running an ad for your appearance on the show next week, so can you send

me over a copy of the most recent picture you have of the two of us together? - Nice try, the most recent picture of us was when you took me to the beach. I'll send a different one. - Eh, don't bother. There's no actual ad, I was bluffing. - Clock's ticking. - Plenty of time. Well, you were born in '78. Buster was born in '81, what about Melanie? - Well, she's the oldest cousin, she was born in '76. But according to this paper, Uncle Dan died in 1974. That's two years before she was even born. -

And we were at least six or seven years old when we used to recite that poem. That would make it the mid '80s, maybe even the late '80s. There's no way he was alive then. - It can't be that I was imagining it, 'cause you remember too, right? - Yes, I absolutely remember. It was the four of us right here at this fireplace. Uncle Dan gave each of us a line, and then he had us all recite it. - So that was a ghost, or a shared hallucination? - I'm gonna go with ghost. - You should check with the co

usins. - Yeah, that's a good idea. I think I'll start with Melanie. Come on, let's go. - Nah, you know, I really need to nap. - Oh come on Poopy, you know I hate driving. You can nap in the car while I'm talking to her. - But that would be rude for me to go all the way to her house and not come in. - I'll explain it. She knows, you she'll understand. You can wave to her through the car window, come on. (soft expectant music) So Alyssa is gonna be performing at next week's show. - Woo hoo hoo, lu

cky you. Old girlfriend back in town, huh? You gonna be taking her out, or what? - [Walter] I might be, she's gonna make me earn it first. - Just like Alyssa. Man, what a weird relationship you two have. - She says I can take her out if I tell her exactly what she was wearing the last time I took her to the beach. - Do you remember what she wore? - Nope, but I got time. - Let's roll. (soft expectant music) - All right yeah, give him a big wave and a big smile, so he knows you're not mad that he'

s not coming in. - How can I be mad at Poopy? I know he still needs his naps. I can't believe he still needs that nap nap blanket. - [Walter] I know. - [Melanie] Does he still bounce that ball all the time? - Oh yeah, absolutely. Anyway, I need you to think back to those dinners we used to have at Poopy's house when we were kids. Do you remember? - Sure I do. - Do you remember when us cousins would sit by the fireplace after dinner? - Yeah, we'd recite that funny poem. - Yes, and do you remember

who taught us the poem? - Yeah, you and Poopy and Buster made it up. - No. - Did you get it out of a book or something? - No, Uncle Dan taught it to us. - You mean Uncle Dan who died of hypothermia on that warm summer night, years before any of us were born? - Yes, he was right there teaching us the poem as we sat by the fire. - I don't know, Walter. I distinctly remember the three of you always urging me to say my lines. - What was your line, anyway? - I don't know, it was like 30 years ago. -

It would start with me. I'd say, "Be careful at the magic spot." And then you would say? - "Be careful at the magic spot. Do not go there when it's hot." - Yes, that's it. And then Poopy would say, "In the cold there's none to fear." And then Buster would say something, and then there's the part that we'd all say together. - Do you really think our dead Uncle Dan taught you this poem? - That's right, Uncle Dan. - Uncle Dan. I'll tell you all about Uncle Dan at nap time. - Does she have a nap na

p blanket? - She does, and hopefully she'll stop using it before she turns 40. Don't end up like your cousin Poopy. (soft expectant music) - So she remembers the poem, but not Uncle Dan. - Are we crazy or something? How can it be that we remember and she doesn't? I picture it clear as day, us sitting by the fire, and Uncle Dan teaching us that poem. - Me too, exactly. We gotta find out what Buster has to say about this. He's probably performing right now with the Trailhead Troubadours. Let's go

ight out of it. - Yeah. - Yes. - Yes, that's right. - Uh-huh. - Yes, yes. - Amen. - And when we make music, we make it for the moment and the moment only, or my name isn't Buster H. McHenry.

Uncle Dan died before any of us were even born. - That means you guys saw a ghost. - You might be right. - Walter, you remember Randy? - AKA Randy to the Max, man. - It's been a while, but how can I forget Randy to the Max? Good to see you. - I love your talent show on the TV. - [Walter] Thank you. - "Tussleville Talent Tonight", what a great

show. - Yeah. - Yes. - It is an awesome show. - Yes. - Every Tuesday we watch the show on Odelon's portable television. - We especially love how you don't record any episodes for reruns. "If you don't catch us live." - [Troubadours] "You don't catch us at all." (man laughing) - We have taken it one step further with the Trailhead Troubadours. We don't even believe in broadcasting our performances. - No, heck Walter, we don't even play outside of these empty woods. (Troubadours laughing) - I can

't believe Uncle Dan was a ghost when he taught us that poem. - I've never seen a ghost, but then again, maybe I have and I just didn't know it. I mean, you guys didn't know you saw a ghost until just now. - That's right, Randy. - Think about all the ghosts we might encounter during our daily comings and goings. Hey, maybe even Odelon here is a ghost. - Ooh. - Does Poopy remember? - You bet he does. Oh, and he's napping in the car right now, but he asked me to say hello. - Of course, that's Poop

y. Napping any chance he gets. - Poopy is a legend. I see him snoozing all around town. If he ain't bouncing a ball to pass the time, he's wrapped in that napping blanket, sleeping soundly. - What did the adults think when we are being taught a poem by a dead man? - They just thought we were being kids, making up poems. Oh, and that reminds me, Melanie remembers the poem, but she doesn't remember Uncle Dan teaching it to us. - Well, how did she know her line then? - She says we taught it to her.

- Well, she is the oldest cousin. I mean, maybe she was just too old to see the spirit realm at that point. - Only young people can see the spirit world. - I don't know, I'm just spit balling. - It's not a bad theory. - I'm pretty sure Stella has seen spirits. She's always barking at things I can't see. (Troubadours laughing) - That could be true. I mean they say dogs and children could see all manner of things that adults don't. - What was your line anyway, Buster? - Let me think. It was, "Sta

nd on the rock, announce the year", and then it went into the refrain. - Let's turn that into a song. ♪ Stand on the rock and announce the year ♪ ♪ Stand on the rock and announce the year ♪ ♪ Stand on the rock and announce the year ♪ - [Walter] "Be careful of the magic spot." ♪ Stand on the rock ♪ - [Walter] "Do not use it when it's hot." ♪ And announce the year ♪ - "In the cold there's none to fear. Stand on the rock, announce the year." And then how did it end? ♪ Stand on the rock, announce th

e year ♪ - "Within your past, can't change the date. "Come back cold and acclimate." - What do you think this means, Poopy? (knuckles knocking) Hold on, I'll be right back. - Hi, can I help you? - Hello sir, We're from the Committee of Light. We'd like to present you with this light bulb. - May this bulb give you many luminance of hours during these cold winter months. - Is it free? - That's right Da, uh, sir. We're a charity group that's dedicated to making sure that no one goes without light.

Think about it, if your light goes out on a dark winter night, you don't wanna have to go out in the snowy, icy conditions to get a new one. - Our mission is to inspire you always to have a plentiful supply of light bulbs in your home. This complimentary light bulb is a step in the right direction. - That's very admirable of you. - It means a lot to us to help the people of this fine community. - All right, well thanks a lot guys, have a good one. (soft uneasy music) Look at this, we got a free

light bulb. - They seemed nice. - Yeah. So, what are your thoughts on this poem, Poopy? - Well, I've got a theory, if you wanna hear it. - I would. - I think Uncle Dan discovered a place where time travel is possible. He dubbed this location, the magic spot. This poem was his way of posthumously explaining to us cousins how we could use it if we wanted. - So if we go to this place and we stand on the rock and announce the year, we'll go back to that year? - But it'll only be back to the same mon

th and day that you're leaving from. - What's all this talk of the cold? - My interpretation of the poem is that when you come back from the past, you come back cold. And if you come back cold on a hot day, the change in temperature is just too much for a body to take. - Uncle Dan died of hypothermia on a hot summer night. This explains it. - It was the instant transition from the very cold to the very hot that shocked his system and killed him. If you use the spot in the winter, you'll come bac

k as cold as the air, which means there won't be any drastic, lethal contrast to deal with. Your body can safely acclimate. - Let's test that theory tomorrow, Poopy. (soft expectant music) (phone ringing) (soft gentle music) - Alyssa Caitlyn Pouliot speaking. - I need a quick clarification. What was the exact date of the last time you and I saw each other? - It was a couple years ago, but I don't remember the exact date. - Can you check that photo that you took of the two of us? Is it still on y

our phone? You can probably find the date on it. - Hang on, let me check. Ooh, I look so cute in my outfit. How could you have forgotten? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, what was the date? - Huh, (chuckling) it was exactly two years ago today. - Got it, thanks Alyssa. - I'm not sure how that helps. - Oh it helps, gotta go, thanks. - Hey Walter, we've been loving the show lately. - Thanks so much. You know, we gotta get your pup playing fetch on the show sometime. - Couple years ago, he used to play fetch al

l the time, but now he's too old. - Take care. - See you on the TV. (dog barking) - Hey Tess, you're always outside, even on these cold winter days. - The cold keeps you healthy. - True, anyway, you remember that magic spot we were talking about, my Uncle Dan's magic spot? - How could I forget? He was the love of my life. He used to write poems for me, he drew me pictures. - Do you have exact directions to the spot? - It was up on Agony Ridge. - Sure, but was there like any one specific rock tha

t Uncle Dan considered to be the magic spot? - He liked a specific rock, but I wouldn't be able to tell you which one. There aren't so many rocks up there, you'll find it. (soft curious music) - You really gotta hand it to Uncle Dan. It's a pretty brilliant plan he came up with. He probably knew we wouldn't be able to remember the poem individually, so he gave us each a line and then he just hoped that eventually we'd put it together and figure out what it meant. - Sorry, they stopped making my

favorite brand of bouncy balls a while back, and it just doesn't have the bounce it used to. - You think Uncle Dan is still floating around as a ghost out there? - Good question. Is he destined to eternally roam the world, able to communicate only with children? - Why can he only communicate with children? - Children have the closest connection to the beyond, because they arrived from it more recently than older people. - The beyond, yeah. That's exactly what Uncle Dan used to say by the fire. -

"I'm Uncle Dan, back from the beyond. Now let me hear you recite that poem." (Walter chuckling) (soft expectant music) - So one of these rocks is the magic spot. Do you mind if I try? - Have at it. I'm not certain I wanna take a look back at the past. - Well, I do. - You gonna go back 1000 years? - The poem says "within your past", and I think that means you can only travel back to a year in which you were alive. - Good point, you're probably right. - 2020. - Are you using this amazing magic sp

ot to find out what your ex-girlfriend wore the last time she let you take her out on a date? - That's correct, and apparently this is not the magic spot. What if the rock goes by the Gregorian calendar? - Well that's good, 'cause we go by the Gregorian calendar. - Oh okay, but I mean, what if the rock goes by some calendar that we don't go by? 2020, 2020. - Well, I think the rock will know where you wanna go in time regardless of how you express it. - 2020? 2020. Yeah, it probably speaks the un

iversal language of time. Here we go, 2020. 2020, 2020. 2020, 2020. 2020. (eerie unsettled music) Poopy? I guess it worked. (soft eerie unsettled music) Poopy, Poopy, what's going on? Poopy, Poopy, can you hear me, Poopy? (ball thudding) (mysterious unsettled music) Poopy, the ball went that way. Didn't you see it? It went, it's right by that rock, Poopy. Oh come on, turn around Poopy, turn around Poopy. It's right over there by that rock. (mysterious unsettled music continues) (birds tweeting)

(mysterious unsettled music continues) That was really nice. Could I maybe see you again before you leave? - I've got a million family visits between now and when I'm leaving. This will have to do until next time I'm in town. - You ever think about sticking around Tussleville? - No one's ever given me a reason to stay, good night. (soft poignant music) - [Alyssa's Mom] How'd it go, honey? - It was fine, I'll be there in a minute. I'm just taking off my boots. - [Alyssa's Mom] Did he give you any

reason to stay in town? - Nope. (soft poignant music continues) (mysterious unsettled music) - Whoa Walter, how was it? - [Walter] It's cold, it's really cold. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on cousin. Acclimate, acclimate, here you go. Come on Walter, acclimate. - [Walter] It's cold, it's really cold. - Walter, Walter, acclimate Walter. (Walter groaning) Walter, you gotta acclimate. - Hot chocolate. - Hot chocolate, okay. No, no, it'll shock your system. That's exactly what happened to Uncle Dan. I

can't let you have any hot chocolate. It's too much for you right now, you gotta acclimate slowly, you can do it. (soft unsettled music) - [Walter] It was really cool. I could just walk around and observe whatever I wanted. No one noticed me. I could even open and close doors without any issues. No one seemed to notice that either. - [Poopy] And did you find the information you wanted with your newfound superpower? - Sure did, don't let me lose this. Don't go anywhere, I got something for you. -

What? (brush rustling) - Ta da. - My ball. You witnessed me losing it two years ago? - Yep. - That's fantastic. I was so frustrated looking for it that I- - Yeah, you took a nap. I know, I watched it happen. Although even if I didn't watch it happen, I probably woulda guessed that you took a nap. (ball bouncing) - Now that it's not so cold, it's got its original bounce back, I love it. - It's acclimated. - Ha, yeah well anyway, what do we do now? - I don't know. Part of me wants to tell the who

le world about it, but another part of me thinks that might be a little dangerous. - It's definitely dangerous, it killed Uncle Dan. - True, in addition to that, it kinda feels like it's going against nature to go back in time like that. - There's nothing more natural than a rock in the woods. - Hmm, good point. - Do you think you'd do it again? - I don't know, I can't even think of any real good reason to go back again. And frankly I felt a little creepy going back there. It felt like it was sp

ying on people. - That's because you were. - Huh, you think you might try it? - Nah, why go back to relive a day when I probably chose to sleep through most of it anyway? - So are you gonna tell anyone about it? - If it comes up in conversation, I guess. - I like that, we're sitting on one of the greatest discoveries since Copernicus. - What did he discover? - I don't know, but it was probably big. - I think this is bigger than whatever he discovered, but go on. - So we're sitting on something t

hat's even bigger than whatever Copernicus discovered, and we're not gonna tell anyone about it. - Well, for now at least. Let's wait and see if you start growing a third arm or something before we start blabbing to everyone. - That makes sense. (soft roots music) - And another thing that's really important is the grip. You gotta get your fingers right on the seam. But even when you get all the fundamentals down, one of the most important things of free throw shooting is mental. You gotta be abl

e to block out everything. The fans, the other team, even your teammates sometimes. You gotta be just you alone in that gym, hitting that free throw.

I personally haven't seen Alyssa in two years, but I still clearly remember how great she looked in her white flowy blouse, black pants, a black cardigan, brown leath

thanks. - Hey, hey, hey, how are you? - Good, how are you? - That was such an impressive performance last night. - Yeah, well what's more impressive is that you got my outfit right from two years ago, all the way down to the socks. I must have made quite an impression. - You always do. - So what's on the docket? - I'm taking you on a tour of Tussleville. - I grew up here, Walter. I know Tussleville inside and out. - I think big city life has made you forget how great this town is, you need a li

ttle refresher. Maybe it'll give you a reason to stay. - We'll see. - Tussleville Lighthouse. Sure, it's real tiny. Sure, the light isn't so bright, but it's our lighthouse and it's tough like we are. It's the site of the best fireworks display in the region, and best of all, it's been immortalized in everyone's favorite schoolyard verse. You remember let's do it right now. - [Alyssa And Walter] Oh say, can you see more than five feet on a foggy night at the Tussleville Lighthouse? - What does i

t even mean? - Nobody knows for sure. My theory is it has something to do with the fireworks display that was interrupted by thick fog. Tussleville Candy Shop is a definite reason to stay in town. The only place on earth that still sells candy cigarettes. - [Alyssa] I thought those were outlawed. - [Walter] Well, they never got the memo here. - [Alyssa] How long have they been on these shelves? - [Walter] Don't worry about that. Candy cigarettes never go bad. Let's get a whole carton. - Good ide

(door clattering) - Oh hey Poopy, you okay? - [Poopy] How'd it go with Alyssa? - Oh, it went real well, thanks. You all right, Poopy? - Well, I've been alone with my thoughts all day and I couldn't even fall asleep, 'cause my thoughts were so intense. - [Walter] Go on, Poopy. - You know how Uncle Dan used to speak to us when we were kids? - Yeah, 'cause kids can see ghosts, or whateve

r he is. - Right, well I was thinking, we stopped seeing him about 30 years ago. - Yeah. - But that doesn't mean he's not still there, floating around lonesomely in the beyond. It breaks my heart to think about it. - That is pretty heartbreaking Poopy, you're right. - Remember that picture of you and me and the cousins by the fireplace? - Yes. - We gotta find out when that picture was taken. Then I wanna go back to that day and see if I can talk to Uncle Dan. - I wasn't able to interact with any

one when I went back. But maybe when we are in the beyond, we'll be able to interact with other people who are in the beyond, like Uncle Dan. - Exactly, go to your parents' house tomorrow, see if you can find the picture. Someone might have written the date on it. It's eating me up inside, we gotta save Uncle Dan. (phone ringing) - Alyssa. - Hi Walter, I'd like to reserve a spot to perform next week. Your tour inspired me to stay a few extra days at least. - You got it. - I'm working on a new so

ng that'll blow everybody away. I'll need you and Poopy to help me with some of the vocals. - Can't wait. (soft gentle music) - Oh, is this it? - [Walter] No, it's at the fireplace, but we're not in costume, and it's me, Poopy, Buster and Melanie. - Hey it's stick boy, remember him? - Just barely. - We met him at the pond one day and he loved sticks. - He saved Melanie from drowning at the pond, and we never saw him again. - Well, there's Stan and Janie. She lost her engagement ring, but he stil

l married her. - 1940, she thought she lost the ring during a picnic. They searched all over, but couldn't find it. - Ooh, there it is. Please be dated, please be dated. - [Walter's Mom] I always put the date on my pictures. - 1986, and we're almost two weeks away from the exact anniversary. Is it okay if I hang onto this for a little while? - Of course you can. - What's this all about, anyway? - We've discovered that Uncle Dan died while returning from the past through a rock that he called the

magic spot. - Oh, is that how it happened? - Pretty sure, anyway, Poopy thinks Uncle Dan has been trapped in a dimension known as the beyond, unable to move on to the next plane of the afterlife because he died before properly acclimating on his way out. - Isn't that something? - Sure is. Now that we know the exact date of when we last saw him, Poopy wants to see if he can travel back in time and talk with Uncle Dan, maybe even figure out a way to save him from his cruel fate. - That would be s

o nice. Look at that, yeah look at that. (soft uneasy music) - What if your mom wrote down the wrong date? Things like that happen sometimes. - Yeah, then it means you have a harmless journey into the past, then you can come back and we can figure out some other way to save Uncle Dan. - That works, well we have a show on this night. It's not our next show, but the show after that. - Yeah, but I think that'll work because those gatherings always happened in the afternoon. So you can go back in ti

me, try to talk to Uncle Dan, and then come back in time for "Tussleville Talent Tonight" at 7:00. - What if I came back on the show? - With the remote broadcasting equipment? - That's what I'm talking about. - I still haven't grown a third arm. You think it's safe to proceed? - Yep. - Let's do it. It'll be the most dramatic event in broadcast television history. - It'll forever change everybody's understanding of time and space. (soft unsettled music) - Hiker, Mommy. - That's right, honey. It's

a hiker. (soft unsettled music) - So this is some kind of magic trick you're proposing here? - It's magical only insomuch as it's something we never previously considered to be possible in the natural world. - Well, then we'll be making television history, I'm in. - Can you have all the equipment ready in time? We're just two weeks away from this. - I'll order it right away. - Hi, welcome to Tussleville TV, how can we help you? - Hi, my name is H. - H? - Yes, H. It's always been my dream to wor

k in broadcast television. Can I work with you guys? - Well, none of us get paid for this, this is more a labor of love. But if you don't mind working for free, we'll find something for you to do. - Thank you so much. - So are you looking to be behind the camera or in front of it? - I wanna be behind the camera. - Great timing, we're gonna go remote in a couple weeks.

. Dear Alyssa. (soft thoughtful music continues) - Thanks for coming, Walter. Hadley was insistent that we gave you these pictures. - Oh wow, thank you so much, Hadley. These are very impressive. - How did it work with that whole Uncle Dan mystery? - Turns out we were right. He was definitely a ghost when he taught us those poems. - How do you know? - Well for one thing, Buster definitely remembers. Uncle Dan being there. That's a three-to-one vote in our favor. - If you all saw him, why didn't

I? - Well that's because you had already turned 10 when that happened. Once you turned 10, you can't see ghosts or spirits, or people from the beyond anymore. - I used to love being the oldest cousin, but now I feel like I missed out. - Also, I learned that the poem was directing us to a magic spot out in the woods where there's a rock that takes you back in time. I used it to go two years in the past, and next week Poopy is gonna use it live on our TV show. - Awesome, we'll be sure to tune in.

(Hadley giggling) (soft thoughtful music) (knuckles rapping) - Alyssa. - I got your poem. - And? - With everything that's happened in the last couple of weeks, I feel like I have a reason to stay. I've got to go back to the big city for a few days to collect my things, close my accounts and the like, but before I go, I need to be sure you mean business. - Oh, I mean business. - Good, I mean it too. - That Tussleville song was amazing, what a moment. - It was more magical than any performance I'v

e ever done in the big city. - There's just something about this town. - There sure is. How did you figure out what I was wearing two years ago? - I'll give you one guess. - Did you track down a security camera from a store we walked by or something? - Nope, I recently discovered that there's this magic spot out in the woods by Agony Ridge, where there's a rock that will take you back in time. I used it to go back to the day when we went on that date, and to see what you were wearing. - Huh, tha

t was my second guess. - Okay H, let's see if this works. Can you hear us, how's that earpiece feeling? - Really good, it's it's really comfortable and. - Okay, what happened there? - I don't know. We lost the feed or something. - [Walter] Well she's gone, but the trees are still there. This is kinda weird. Well, let's go out there and see what went wrong. Put the monitor back into the newsfeed and let's go. - Hey Tussleville, we're getting closer and closer to springtime, we've seen melting sno

w throughout town. Isn't it wonderful? Of course it's still pretty cold. It won't be beach weather for quite a while, but there is reason to be optimistic, especially on Tuesday when we'll be seeing a very unusual weather event. It'll be a seasonably cold day in the morning and in the afternoon, but then in the evening we'll actually see the temperature going up. I know this doesn't happen every day, so enjoy that brief preview of mild springlike weather. because it is going to be fleeting. (sof

t uneasy music) - [Poopy] So what happens when I get to the beyond? How does it feel? - [Walter] It feels like nothing. Everything should be the same, only you won't see me anymore. - All right, here goes nothing, 1986. (mysterious unsettled music) - You can't read my book. - No, it's mine. - Okay kids, I'm Uncle Dan back from the beyond, and I'm ready to hear that poem. Tell Melanie we're ready to start. - [Children] We're about to start, Melanie. - "Be careful at the magic spot." - "Do not use

it when it's hot." - [Poopy] "In the cold there's none to fear." - "Stand on the rock, announce the year." - [Children] Within your past, can't change the day, "come back home and acclimate." - That was very good, kids. But Uncle Dan has some business to attend to in the beyond, bye bye. - Bye. (children chattering) (unsettled mysterious music) - I've got another cooler in the van, I'm gonna go get it. - Another cooler? - Yeah just, I'll just be a minute. - Another cooler, huh? How many beverag

es do we need for this broadcast? - Well, I guess she just wants to make sure we're hydrated. - All right. That's a warm breeze. (soft unsettled music) - Don't tell me, are you one of those kids in there all grown up? - That's right, Uncle Dan. - You look like Poopy. - You got it right, Uncle Dan. - [Dan] Is this your first time in the beyond? - Yes sir, and can I just say being here with you right now on this porch, this is the greatest experience. - Sure is, of course year after year, it gets

to be a bit much. - And that's why I'm here. It was eating me up inside to think of my poor Uncle Dan, stuck in this realm, unable to escape. Is there anything we can do to get you out of here? - I wish I knew, I've tried everything. - Are there any secrets of the magic spot that you can share with me? - I only just figured out how to make it so that children can see me here. - How did you do it? - It was this stick here behind my ear. - Uh-huh. - A couple of days ago, I climbed this tree closes

t to the magic spot. I don't know why I did it. I was just looking for something to do to fill up another long day in the beyond. - Uh-huh. - While I was up there, a man and this child walked by on a hike. The kid saw me, but the man didn't. So I took this twig with me, I walked around town. Kids could see me, but adults couldn't. I don't know, I think the cutoff age is maybe 10. - Absolutely, so you wrote the poem and taught it to me and the cousins in the hopes that one day we would figure it

out. - Looks like it took about 30 years for you to figure it out. But for me, it was just a matter of moments. - How long have you been trapped in this realm? - 1974, I went back in time to 1940. - Why 1940? - I was looking for my aunt's missing wedding ring. I was hoping I could find it, and then present it to my sweetheart. - Walter and I had a similar scenario with the bouncy ball that I lost under a rock. - Anyway, the transition back to 1974 didn't go so well. I didn't acclimate properly,

my 1974 body died. - So you've just been hanging out in the beyond for 46 years? - That's right. Let's go for a walk. (soft uneasy music) - Oh, uh, how much time until Poopy comes back? - 45 Minutes. - Plenty of time. All right, I'm just gonna grab my last cooler. - Are you sure we're gonna need three coolers worth of beverages? There's only three of us here, plus Poopy. - Yeah, you know I'd just, I'd feel a lot better if everybody had beverages. - All right yeah, you do what you gotta do. A thi

rd cooler, is she crazy? Sheesh, I thought it was supposed to get colder as the sun went down. (soft uneasy music) - [Poopy] I gotta get back to the magic spot. They're expecting me to return a little after 7:00 PM. How do you think we should proceed? - [Dan] I'll keep trying to figure out ways I can get free from this fate. - So I guess we'll keep looking for signs that you're trying to communicate with us from the beyond. - Perfect. - Keep teaching us that poem for as long as we're young enoug

h to hear you. We only remembered it because you kept drilling it in our brains during these family dinners. - Sounds good, I've got nothing else to do. - See you later, Uncle Dan. - Hopefully sooner, than later. (soft unsettled music) - Hello and welcome to a special edition of "Tussleville Talent Tonight". For the first time ever. we're broadcasting outside of our studio location. That's because we've invested in some state of the art remote broadcasting equipment, thanks to the joint efforts

of our director, Jimmy Overstreet, and studio manager, Mr. Hitchens. As if that weren't enough, something even more amazing will be happening very soon on this very rock. Until it does, I'll try to explain to all of you why my Uncle Dan considered this to be a magic spot. This is no ordinary rock, ladies and gentlemen. Rather, it's a portal through which you can travel back in time. Don't adjust your TV sets, you're hearing me correctly. This rock is a time machine. All you have to do is stand o

n the rock and announce the year that you wanna go to. It needs to be a year during which you are alive. Upon making that announcement, you will instantly be brought back in time. It will be the same date as the date when you left. You'll be free to walk around and observe that day from a previous year until you're ready to return. When you do return, you'll be extremely cold. That's why you should only use the magic rock in winter. That's why my Uncle Dan died on this very rock, of hypothermia

on a hut summer night. The difference between his body temperature and the air temperature was just too much. His body couldn't acclimate quickly enough and he died. Well his body died, but his soul has been trapped in the past ever since, where he can only be seen and heard by children. It's a realm that he calls the beyond. The sudden warmth that has reached town today has caused me to feel a bit alarmed, 'cause I think of my cousin Poopy. For right now, he is in the year 1986, but any minute

now we expect him to return. I just hope my cousin can acclimate properly. (dramatic uneasy music) - He's here! (Poopy screaming) - Acclimate, acclimate. - He's back from the beyond folks, and he's cold. Oh, so very cold. (Poopy screaming) I must help him acclimate. (Poopy groaning) (tense unsettled music) - Acclimate, Poopy. (Poopy screaming) Acclimate. - Acclimate. Acclimate. - Acclimate. (Poopy yelling) - Acclimate. - Acclimate. - Come on, Poopy. - Acclimate, Poopy. - Come on, Poopy. (Poopy g

roaning) Come on Poopy, acclimate, acclimate! (Poopy screaming) - Acclimate, acclimate Poopy. Acclimate. - Acclimate. - Acclimate Poopy, acclimate, acclimate Poopy. - If this remote equipment is working right now, I beg of you to help my cousin Poopy by sending along your good vibes for him to fully acclimate. - Acclimate, Poopy. - Acclimate, Poopy. Acclimate, acclimate Poopy, acclimate. - [Group] Acclimate Poopy, acclimate. Acclimate, acclimate Poopy, acclimate. Poopy acclimate, acclimate. Accl

imate Poopy, acclimate. Acclimate Poopy, acclimate. Acclimate Poopy, acclimate. Acclimate Poopy, acclimate. Acclimate Poopy, acclimate. Acclimate Poopy, acclimate. - I've acclimated. (group cheering) - The ice seems to be doing its work, ladies and gentlemen. Thank goodness for our new intern H, who was so adamant about bringing what I thought was a rather excessive amount of beverages for everyone at our remote broadcasting location. Although now that I look, I see she had plenty of ice, but sh

e seems to have forgotten the beverages altogether. Regardless, I'm just glad the ice is here. It's helping to slow Poopy's transition from bitter cold to mild and springlike. How are you feeling, Poopy? - (panting) I saw Uncle Dan. - Poopy has definitely acclimated. And is it true, what I just heard? You saw our Uncle Dan, Poopy? - That's right, Walter. We had a great conversation. He confirmed to me that he in fact did go to the beyond many years ago on that fateful day, when he couldn't prope

rly acclimate. - With the change in weather Poopy, I began to wonder if you might suffer the same fate as Uncle Dan. - Absolutely, I mean we shoulda checked the forecast. It's just a good thing that you had all that ice. - I wish I could take credit for that Poopy, but it was really our intern H. I'm not sure where she went, but she saved the day. You know, normally this show runs for a full hour, but we have a lot to unpack here, ladies and gentlemen. So if the remote equipment is working, coul

d the people back at the studio please continue the show with the on-call entertainers who are there? And from Agony Ridge woods, this is Walter Moore, and my cousin Poopy, signing out. - Where did she go? - Yeah. We gotta, where, Jimmy, where's, where's H? - I don't know. - Where did she go? - Tussleville, oh Tussleville, the land I love so much. The land of hardworking friends and families. People who pledge allegiance in the most distinct way. Oh say, can you see more than five feet on a fogg

y night in the Tussleville Lighthouse? A playground verse passed down for generations, so old that no one knows where it originated. - She's not over there. - Yeah, she's not around here either. There was always something mysterious about her. - Yeah, right down to the fact that her name was H. - Yeah well, whoever she is, I think she'll be okay. - [H] 2052. (soft curious music) - All right guys, check this out. This is the raw footage, no special effects, no nothing. The stick falls out, H is g

one. - Uncanny. - Wow. - [Jimmy] I don't know how to explain it. (phone ringing) - I'll be right back guys. Hey mom, what's up? - Walter, I have a problem. The light went out over the sink. Can you come over with a bulb? - What about the bulbs that those guys donated you, remember? Their mission is to make sure that everyone always has a plentiful supply of light bulbs in their home. - Oh yes, we can use that. Thank you, Walter. - All right, great. Bye-bye. - She's got the stick behind her ear,

touching her skin. Stick falls away, girl's gone. - So what are we dealing with here? Is H trapped in the beyond, just like Uncle Dan? - I don't think so, I think it means that people from the future can interact with the past, if they use a piece of the tree closest to the rock. - Did Uncle Dan tell you that? - No, but I talked to Uncle Dan in 1986, right after he discovered the power of the tree. Maybe he figured it out since then, or maybe he never figured it out, or H figured it out, or will

figure it out in 2052. - Poopy would have died if she hadn't come back in time to save him. I guess Poopy did die in her version of history, but now she's changed it for us. - So when we heard her saying 2052, that was her on the rock returning to the future? - Makes sense to me. - So why could we hear her? - Good question, 'cause when I was in 2020, I tried talking to you, and you couldn't hear me. - I guess when you're visiting the past and touching the rock, people can hear you. In addition

to that, if you're visiting the past and touching the tree, people can hear you and see you. There are many different rules to this magic spot, and I think we're only beginning to grasp what it all means. - So where does everything stand with Uncle Dan? - He said that when he figured out a way for us to save him, he would figure out a way to tell us about it. So we gotta keep our eyes and our minds open to any potential message he might be sending. Mind if I grab a nap? - Of course. (soft myster

ious music) (sweeper clattering) (Walter sighing) You know, if we recorded the broadcast like we recorded the test run, we would have even more footage to analyze. - I know, I know, but there's just something magic about how we don't do reruns. If you don't catch it live, you don't catch it at all. - I'm just saying. - It's not even online. It's only available for people within 30 miles of the transmitter. I don't know, I just think there's something kinda magical about that. - With no replay av

ailable, no one will believe that we were able to bring Poopy back from the beyond on live TV. They'll just say it was some kinda trick. - Eh, let them say what they want, we know the truth. (mysterious uneasy music) Jimmy, what are you doing? - [Jimmy] I'm just raising the curtain so I could Hokey the rest of the studio. - [Walter] Wrong rope, this one's connected to that speaker up there, that could've crushed you. - Oh man, thanks Walter. That could've been bad. - Oh, hello guys, didn't hear

you come in. Welcome to Tussleville Studios. - Just doing our rounds for the light bulb charity. - Of course, Jimmy these guys are from a charity that gives out free light bulbs, isn't that nice? - That is so nice. - I just got off the phone with my mother. She had a light bulb go out in her house and she didn't know what to do about it until I reminded her that you guys had given her a free light bulb. - That's nice to hear. That's exactly what our charity is all about. - If you're donating one

to the station, I could put it in the equipment room. You can never have too many. - Oh yeah, well we actually ran outta light bulbs before getting here. - Oh, okay. - Well as fans of your show in particular and the station in general, we figured we'd pop in and say hello, since we were in the neighborhood. - Isn't that nice? Well, this is where it all happens. I'm the host of "Tussleville Talent Tonight". Jimmy here is the director. You might recognize Poopy, he's taken a nap over there. He's

the DJ, he does all the music and he also co-hosts with me. - Well, we'll let you get back to whatever you were doing. - We're just glad that speaker didn't fall on you, Jimmy. - (sighing) Yeah, me too. (soft thoughtful music) - So once Poopy acclimated, our intern H disappeared because it turns out she was from the future, and she had only come back in time in order to save him with the ice. It was quite an event. - That sounds like an exciting show. I wish I could've seen it. - Let me give you

a little more whipped cream. (whipped cream spraying) - Thank you. If only there was some way to preserve these episodes. I don't know, like recording them? - Not you too. The show is fine how it is. If you don't catch it live, you don't catch it at all. So was it hard packing up your apartment? - Not so much, I travel light. - I hope this move home is a permanent one. - I missed this, I never had a fireplace in any of my big city apartments. - Just one more reason to stay in Tussleville. (whip

ped cream spraying) (soft gentle music) - 1991, Uncle Dan, Uncle Dan? 1992, Uncle Dan, Uncle Dan? 1993, Uncle Dan, Uncle Dan, come on, Uncle Dan. You said you liked hanging out at the magic spot. Uncle Dan? 1994. - That was quite a show last week. I'm glad poopy acclimated. - Pretty dramatic, eh? - Did he really go back and meet with Dan? - Yes he did. - Can Dan really communicate with children? - Yep, absolutely. - When my nephew was seven, he told me that Dan told him to draw this. (paper rust

ling) Do you think he was sending me a message? - Yes, that is definitely a message of love from your sweetheart. There's the ring that he was trying to find for you, and there's a picture of the two of you at the magic spot together, Tess and Dan. - I knew it, Dan Port. When my nephew was seven, he told me that Dan told him to draw this, to draw this, to draw this. - [Melanie] Thanks for coming, Walter. Hadley was insistent that I gave you these pictures, I gave you these pictures, I gave you t

hese pictures. - Wake up Poopy, I think Uncle Dan's message for us is on the refrigerator. - What? (groaning) - I think that Uncle Dan was using Hadley to communicate with us through these pictures. Look, number one, it's a picture of you sleeping on the magic rock. Then apparently in some sort of dream state, you're gonna meet Uncle Dan, and then you'll pull him out of the beyond, through that dream state, back into the year 2022. What number was that, that was three. Here's four, the ring. He

wants you to go with him to find the ring that he was looking for for Tess so many years ago. - Five. - Then apparently, he's gonna have, yeah, he's gonna perform on our show. He wants to sing a song, and yeah, look right here. These are the chords to the song. I can play that. And then apparently after that, he's gonna beam up into heaven. - [Poopy] That's a fine kettle of fish. - So I guess if you fall asleep on the magic spot, you enter some sort of dream state, wherein you can rescue a perso

n who's trapped in the beyond, who knew? - [Poopy] He's got little clocks on each of these pictures. Looks like he wants me to meet him at 5:00 PM tomorrow, and get him to the studio in time for 7:00 PM, after we grab the ring. I guess I'll rest up till then. (soft gentle music) (tense expectant music) - [Dan] When I learned that a sleeping person could save me, I knew that you were the man for the job, Poopy. - [Poopy] What do I do, Uncle Dan? - [Dan] Just grab your uncle's hand, and pull me ou

tta the beyond. (rain splashing) (soft uneasy music) - Huh, hey guys. You're really good at sneaking up on me. - We're going away. - Ah, that's too bad. Well thank you for providing the people of Tussleville with extra light bulbs. - We just wanted to say hello one last time before we go. - Ah, that's so nice, thanks again guys. - Say, we won't be able to watch tonight's broadcast. Is there any way that you could record it, and maybe replay it sometime? - Sorry guys, part of the magic of the sho

w is that we don't do that. If you don't catch us live, you don't catch us at all, bye bye. - Please, Daddy wait, would you do it for us? - That's right Daddy, we're your sons, and we're about to go back to a time where you're not around anymore. All we have is the legend of what's going to happen on tonight's show. - We want tonight's show to be preserved, so we and everyone else. - Can watch you and Mom and Poopy and Uncle Dan and the whole gang do what they do best. - Not to mention, this wil

l be a piece of television history. - And it'll be worth a pretty petty in 50 years, while your grandchildren will be well taken care of with the money we'd make in licensing fees. - I don't know guys, it kinda goes against everything we've stood for as a show. - Trust us Daddy, you'll regret it if you don't. - You've told us the story about tonight so many times, and it always ends with you saying. - [Both Sons] "If I'd only pressed record." - Well, it was real nice meeting you guys, and I gues

s I'll be meeting you both again real soon in the future. (soft unsettled music) Hello Tussleville, we are back in the studio after last week's remarkable episode in which my cousin, Poopy McMillan, returned live on air from the beyond back into our realm. As you may remember, he nearly died from being unable to acclimate to the temperature change. Luckily, our intern H dumped some coolers of ice on him with me, in order to slow down that acclimation process, before she herself used the power of

the magic spot to return to whatever year she came from. - It was 2052. - My director Jimmy Overstreet is informing me that it was 2052 that she returned to. Anyway, Poopy's alive and well, and he brings with him an amazing guest. Before I hand it over to him, I'm gonna ask Jimmy to press the record button for this next segment. That's right folks, this moment is so historic that we are going to break our own rules by preserving this for posterity. Now Poopy, take it away. (audience applauding)

- Thanks Walter. It will take most of the runtime of this show to get into all the fascinating details that led to this moment. But the person I'm about to introduce simply can't remain in our realm of existence long enough for me to get through it. So let me simply say that it is an honor to introduce to everyone here Tussleville's favorite son, a man who always brought light and joy to the people around him. A man we all thought we would never see again. Please welcome my uncle, Dan Port. (au

dience applauding) - Thank you Poopy, thank you Walter, and hello Tussleville. Don't adjust your TV set, it's really me you're looking at. On the day that my body died, my soul got trapped in a different realm called the beyond. I thought I'd be there forever, but I was finally able to make contact with my nephews, who made this very moment possible. Now before I go into the next realm, there's one quick song that I'd like to perform for you. ♪ I was trapped in the beyond ♪ ♪ When my body died i

But before I do, I'd like to send a very special message to a very special lady, I hope she's watching.

Tess, my earthly body died when I went back in time to find this family heirloom that was lost for many years. I wanted to give it to you so I could ask for your hand in holy matrimony. It didn't work out for us, and maybe we'll be so lucky as to be reconnected in the next realm. Tess, I'm sure you'd agree that this ring would be better in cementing a relationship in the next generation. I hope I have your blessing, when I present this ring to my nephew Walter. Walter? - Yes, Uncle Dan. - Walte

r, from the beyond I've been able to watch this on again, off again drama between you and Alyssa for almost 30 years. Do me a favor kid, give her this ring so that once and for all, she has a reason to stay in this wonderful town. - I will, Uncle Dan. Alyssa Caitlyn Pouliot, will you marry me? - Yes, yes, yes! (audience applauding) - What a moment, ladies and gentlemen. Walter and Alyssa have finally decided to tie the knot, and it seems that Uncle Dan went on to the next realm. What excitement,

what drama. - Well, the show is far from over. I can't promise that the rest of it will match what we've just witnessed, but if anyone is gonna get to that level of excitement, it's JP McD, who comes to us today with another exciting spoken word piece. (lively upbeat music) - Oh say, can you see more than five feet on a foggy night at Tussleville Lighthouse? Was it my imagination, or did I see a little hint of green popping out of a tree branch the other day? Spring breeze came up just last wee

k, nearly killing my friend Poopy, as he's trying to acclimate after his journey. The days are getting longer, and now we're starting to wake up. Soon, we'll be reopening the shops and the restaurants and the beach side hotels.
