Location: The Museum of Cultural History

Danny: Come on! Check your mirror!

(Harry Looks at the mirror, checking the location of the wand)

Harry: Sure. This way!

(The others follow Harry to the door of the museum, where they see a spinning wheel through the window)

Dougie: (tries not to laugh) That's your dad's spinning wheel?

Tom: Yeah, It's kinda dorky.

Mal: It's magic. It doesn't have to look scary.

(Danny gets out his spell book and starts to recite one of the spells)

Danny: "Magic spindle, do not linger. Make my victim prick a finger."

(Nothing Happens)

Dougie: (Sarcastically) Impressive.

Tom: I got chills.

Danny: Okay, you know what?

(He turns the page and tries a different spell)

Danny: "Prick the finger, prick it deep. Send my enemy off to sleep."

(The person who is guarding the spinning wheel, touching the spindle and falls asleep)

Danny: Not so dorky now, huh?

(Danny tries to open the museum door, it's locked)

Dougie: Stand back.

(Dougie walks backwards and starts to run for the door. Danny casts a spell before he has a chance to kick it down)

Danny: "Make it easy, make it quick, open up without a kick."

(The door opens, sending Dougie tumbling to the floor)

(Dougie gets up and follows the others up the stairs)

Harry: Come on, guys. Almost there.

(The four of them stop when they make it up the stairs, distracted by statues of their parents)

Dougie: Well, the wand's not here. Let's bounce. Let's go.

(Harry, Tom and Dougie run out the room, Danny doesn't join them, he hears Simons voice in his ear)

Simon: The future of the free world rests on your shoulders. Don't blow it.

Song: Evil Like Me

Danny:
♫ Look at you, look at me ♫
♫ I don't know who to be ♫
♫ Father ♫
♫ Is it wrong? Is it right? ♫
♫ Be a thief in the night ♫
♫ Father ♫
♫ Tell me what to do... ♫

(Harry comes back into the room)

Harry: Danny. Come on.

(Harry leaves and the statue of Simon comes to life)

Simon: Don't be so serious, darling.

Simon:
♫ I was once like you my child, slightly insecure ♫
♫ Argued with my father too thought I was mature ♫
♫ But I put my heart aside, and I used my head ♫
♫ Now I think it's time you learned what dear old father said ♫

♫ Don't you wanna be evil like me? ♫
♫ Don't you wanna be mean? ♫
♫ Don't you wanna make mischief your daily routine? ♫
♫ Well you can spend your life attending to the poor ♫
♫ But when you're evil doing less is doing more ♫
♫ Don't you wanna be ruthless and rotten and mad? ♫
♫ Don't you wanna be very very good at being bad? ♫

♫ I have tried my whole life long to do the worst I can ♫
♫ Clawed my way to victory built my master plan ♫
♫ Now the time has come my dear for you to take your place ♫
♫ Promise me you'll try to be an absolute disgrace ♫

♫ Don't you wanna be evil like me don't you wanna be cruel ♫
♫ Don't you wanna be nasty and brutal and cool ♫
♫ And when you grab that wand that's when your reign begins ♫
♫ Who wants an evil king without a sack of sin ♫
♫ Don't you wanna be heartless and hardened as stone ♫
♫ Don't you wanna be finger lickin' evil to the bone ♫

♫ This is not for us to ponder this was pre-ordained ♫
♫ You and I shall rule together freedom soon regained ♫
♫ King of the universe powerful and strong ♫
♫ Daniel, hear me, help me, join me won't you sing along ♫

Both:
♫ Now we're gonna be evil it's true never gonna think twice ♫

Danny:
♫ And we're gonna be spiteful ♫

Simon:
♫ Yes spiteful that's nice
♫ In just an hour or two our futures safe and sure ♫
♫ This father-son act is going out on tour ♫
♫ If you wanna be evil and awful and free ♫
♫ Then you should thank your lucky stars that you were born the guy you are ♫
♫ The son of an evilicious king like me ♫

(A bolt of lightning fills the room and Simon turns back into a statue)
