| BOY: This is one of my favorite
stories of all time, |
00:02:32.698 - 00:02:37.119 |
| even though it begins in a basement. |
00:02:37.202 - 00:02:39.913 |
| I'm gonna tell it
the way it was written |
00:02:41.540 - 00:02:43.083 |
| by this guy- Bellini- |
00:02:43.167 - 00:02:45.502 |
| who lives underneath
the amazing, the remarkable... |
00:02:45.586 - 00:02:48.715 |
| Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. |
00:02:48.798 - 00:02:52.218 |
| And, yes... |
00:02:52.343 - 00:02:54.012 |
| he sleeps with a dolly. |
00:02:54.137 - 00:02:56.181 |
| BOY: Bellini's job
is to build all the books |
00:03:07.317 - 00:03:10.570 |
| for all the kids
who come to the Emporium. |
00:03:10.695 - 00:03:12.614 |
| But it is also to chronicle the
life of Mr. Magorium himself. |
00:03:12.739 - 00:03:18.204 |
| Mr. Magorium once made toys
for Napoléon, |
00:03:18.329 - 00:03:21.749 |
| beat Abraham Lincoln
at hopscotch |
00:03:21.832 - 00:03:24.418 |
| and holds the current record
for time spent upside down. |
00:03:24.543 - 00:03:29.215 |
| There were those
who called Magorium a genius. |
00:03:29.298 - 00:03:32.051 |
| My mom called him an eccentric. |
00:03:32.176 - 00:03:34.053 |
| And this one guy from Detroit |
00:03:34.178 - 00:03:35.721 |
| inexplicably called him "Steve." |
00:03:35.846 - 00:03:38.974 |
| But Magorium's story |
00:03:39.100 - 00:03:40.893 |
| was reaching its final chapters. |
00:03:41.018 - 00:03:43.145 |
| That's okay- all stories,
even the ones we love, |
00:03:43.270 - 00:03:46.733 |
