| BOY: This is one of my favorite
stories of all time, |
00:03:26.405 - 00:03:30.842 |
| even though it begins in a basement. |
00:03:30.943 - 00:03:33.605 |
| I'm gonna tell it
the way it was written |
00:03:35.248 - 00:03:36.806 |
| by this guy- Bellini- |
00:03:36.916 - 00:03:39.214 |
| Who lives underneath
the amazing, the remarkable... |
00:03:39.318 - 00:03:42.412 |
| Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. |
00:03:42.522 - 00:03:45.958 |
| And, yes... |
00:03:46.058 - 00:03:47.753 |
| he sleeps with a dolly. |
00:03:47.860 - 00:03:49.885 |
| BOY: Bellini's job
is to build all the books |
00:04:01.040 - 00:04:04.305 |
| for all the kids
who come to the Emporium. |
00:04:04.410 - 00:04:06.344 |
| But it is also to chronicle the
life of Mr. Magorium himself. |
00:04:06.445 - 00:04:11.940 |
| Mr. Magorium once made toys
for Napoléon, |
00:04:12.051 - 00:04:15.452 |
| beat Abraham Lincoln
at hopscotch |
00:04:15.555 - 00:04:18.149 |
| and holds the current record
for time spent upside down. |
00:04:18.257 - 00:04:22.921 |
| There were those
who called Magorium a genius. |
00:04:23.029 - 00:04:25.793 |
| My mom called him an eccentric. |
00:04:25.898 - 00:04:27.798 |
| And this one guy from Detroit |
00:04:27.900 - 00:04:29.458 |
| inexplicably called him "Steve." |
00:04:29.569 - 00:04:32.697 |
| But Magorium's story |
00:04:32.805 - 00:04:34.636 |
| was reaching its final chapters. |
00:04:34.740 - 00:04:36.867 |
| That's okay-all stories,
even the ones we love, |
00:04:36.976 - 00:04:40.468 |
