EXT. GREENWICH, LONDON - AFTERNOON
Gentle actor MADAME MILDRED MCCALLISTER is arguing with smart lawyer MASTER PETE RAYMOND. MILDRED tries to hug PETE but he shakes her off.
MILDRED
Please Pete, don't leave me.
PETE
I'm sorry Mildred, but I'm looking for somebody a bit more brave. Somebody who faces her fears head on, instead of running away.
MILDRED
I am such a person!
PETE frowns.
PETE
I'm sorry, Mildred. I just don't feel excited by this relationship anymore.
PETE leaves.
MILDRED sits down, looking defeated.
Moments later, gentle mechanic MRS HELEN BARLOW barges in looking flustered.
MILDRED
Goodness, Helen! Is everything okay?
HELEN I'm afraid not.
MILDRED What is it? Don't keep me in suspense...
HELEN
It's ... a dragon ... I saw an evil dragon eat a bunch of babies!MILDRED
Defenseless babies?
HELEN
Yes, defenseless babies!
MILDRED
Bloomin' heck, Helen! We've got to do something.
HELEN
I agree, but I wouldn't know where to start.
MILDRED
You can start by telling me where this happened.
HELEN
I was...
HELEN fans herself and begins to wheeze.
MILDRED
Focus Helen, focus! Where did it happen?
HELEN
A Sweet Shop! That's right - A Sweet Shop!
MILDRED springs up and begins to run.
EXT. A ROAD - CONTINUOUS
MILDRED rushes along the street, followed by HELEN. They take a short cut through some back gardens, jumping fences along the way.
INT. A SWEET SHOP - SHORTLY AFTER
DANIEL WILSON a spiteful dragon terrorises two babies.
MILDRED, closely followed by HELEN, rushes towards DANIEL, but suddenly stops in her tracks.
HELEN
What is is? What's the matter?
MILDRED
That's not just any old dragon, that's Daniel Wilson
!HELEN
Who's Daniel Wilson?
MILDRED
Who's Daniel Wilson? Who's Daniel Wilson? Only the most spiteful dragon in the universe!
HELEN
Blinkin' knickers, Mildred! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most spiteful dragon in the universe!
MILDRED
You can say that again.
HELEN
Blinkin' knickers, Mildred! We're going to need some help if we're going to stop the most spiteful dragon in the universe!
MILDRED
I'm going to need magic arrows, lots of magic arrows.
Daniel turns and sees Mildred and Helen. He grins an evil grin.
DANIEL
Mildred McCallister, we meet again.
