[00:00.320]	Alvin
[00:00.593]	The greatest gift.
[00:02.515]	A story about alvin and thomas.
[00:04.975]
[00:05.535]	Thomas
[00:05.740]	Alvin and his father lived on the second floor above his father's bookstore.
[00:08.594]
[00:08.862]	Alvin
[00:09.025]	It was called the writer's block - new and used books.
[00:11.182]	Thomas
[00:11.438]	One christmas eve,
[00:12.814]	Alvin and i made snow angels and watched frank capra's it's a wonderful life.
[00:17.022]
[00:17.250]	Alvin
[00:17.399]	Our annual tradition.
[00:18.381]	Thomas
[00:18.598]	Then alvin took me downstairs to the bookstore. We were eleven.
[00:22.209]	(they take a step into the past.)
[00:22.848]
[00:24.013]	Alvin
[00:24.228]	Trust me.
[00:25.360]	Thomas
[00:25.574]	What are we doing’
[00:26.499]	Alvin
[00:26.679]	We're going to pick out a book for your christmas present.
[00:28.333]	Thomas
[00:28.563]	Cool. Which one’
[00:29.760]	Alvin
[00:30.186]	I don't know, but it's somewhere in this mystical place.
[00:35.417]	Thomas
[00:35.667]	Mystical place’
[00:36.558]	Alvin
[00:36.720]	Mystical place.
[00:37.516]	Thomas
[00:37.685]	It’s a bookstore.
[00:38.505]	Alvin
[00:38.796]	No. It’s a great and powerful force capable of extraordinary feats.
[00:43.770]	Thomas
[00:44.059]	Alvin's father was known for having the uncanny knack
[00:47.399]	Of finding the perfect book for each of his customers.
[00:50.416]	Of course, alvin saw things... Differently.
[00:53.664]
[00:54.081]	Alvin
[00:54.289]	Every day
[00:56.706]	People come into this bookstore.
[01:00.766]
[01:01.670]	Never knowing it was built
[01:02.681]	On sacred hollowed ground.
[01:04.108]	Thomas
[01:04.300]	Don't you mean ‘hallowed’’
[01:05.659]
[01:06.110]	Alvin
[01:06.299]	They travel here from all around.
[01:08.640]	Poor souls looking for stories.
[01:12.091]
[01:12.565]	Thomas
[01:12.721]	Where's my present’
[01:13.533]	Alvin
[01:13.736]	These desperate pilgrims enter this shrine. My father says...
[01:21.744]	‘good afternoon,’
[01:23.829]	Or ‘morning’ as the case may be.
[01:25.165]	‘i’m the owner of this bookstore.
[01:27.535]	Can i help you please?’
[01:29.078]	And they say, ‘not right now sir, thanks a lot.
[01:32.702]
[01:33.554]	But i’ll peruse the books you’ve got.
[01:36.172]	I’m just looking for stories.’
[01:40.084]
[01:41.601]	So dad allows them to search the stacks.
[01:44.000]
[01:45.473]	And they hunt and browse
[01:46.941]	And they read the backs.
[01:48.329]
[01:49.453]	But eventually,
[01:50.420]	Inevitably,
[01:51.483]	They ask for dad’s advice.
[01:55.284]	They talk a little.
[01:56.879]	Then he gets this look all dazed and queer.
[02:00.838]	And he mumbles things i can't quite hear.
[02:04.469]	(alvin imitates his father’s mumbling.)
[02:07.438]	Then, like a shot,
[02:09.032]	He goes right to the perfect spot
[02:12.273]	And finds their special book,
[02:15.888]	The one distinctive book,
[02:19.853]	The story that will change that person’s life.
[02:27.027]	You see’
[02:27.324]
[02:27.567]	Thomas
[02:27.914]	See what’
[02:29.084]	Alvin
[02:29.287]	This store speaks through my father. He's a conduit. He's an instrument.
[02:34.216]	He's a vessel. And i am his son. I too hear the prophetic whisper of the bookstore spirit.
[02:42.407]	I will now attempt to use my ancestral gifts to guide you to your present.
[02:46.771]	(alvin listens intently for the prophetic whisper.)
[02:47.370]
[02:51.906]	Thomas
[02:52.107]	You couldn’t just get me a model airplane?
[02:54.014]	Alvin
[02:54.185]	Shhh!
[02:55.399]	Speak to me
[02:58.874]	Noble spirit of the bookstore.
[03:01.433]	This is alvin here.
[03:02.018]
[03:02.321]	Thomas
[03:02.494]	And thomas.
[03:03.245]
[03:03.449]	Alvin
[03:03.622]	Is there something you can recommend
[03:06.067]
[03:07.359]	As a gift for thomas, my best friend?
[03:10.274]	Can you find him a story?
[03:14.055]	(alvin listens again.)
[03:15.156]
[03:16.210]	Thomas
[03:16.380]	Do you hear anything yet?
[03:17.585]	Alvin
[03:17.752]	No.
[03:18.581]	Wait! It needs... Something. It needs both of us.
[03:25.143]
[03:25.429]	Thomas
[03:25.589]	What do we do’
[03:26.799]	Alvin
[03:26.976]	Now we stand up straight looking shy and meek.
[03:28.749]	Thomas
[03:28.975]	Now we stand up straight looking shy and meek.
[03:30.342]	Alvin
[03:30.509]	And we humbly wait for the store to speak.
[03:32.376]	Thomas
[03:32.749]	And we humbly wait for the store to speak.
[03:34.282]	Both
[03:34.654]	Soon we will hear the answer
[03:36.552]	That we're preparing to receive.
[03:41.328]	Alvin
[03:41.516]	Now the next part’s not entirely clear.
[03:45.486]	It’s the part where dad gets dazed and queer.
[03:49.643]	Thomas
[03:49.863]	I think you nailed that part.
[03:50.954]	Alvin
[03:51.134]	I see... I see... I see a guy wearing cardboard wings,
[03:56.679]	A coat hanger halo, carrying a bell and a homemade book...
[04:00.617]	Wait!
[04:01.718]	Holy cow!
[04:02.662]	I know which book to give you now.
[04:07.124]
[04:07.616]	Thomas
[04:07.805]	Well.
[04:08.432]	Alvin
[04:08.593]	You’ll be grateful that i interceded.
[04:10.577]	And found the book you never knew you needed.
[04:14.336]	Thomas
[04:14.618]	Come on.
[04:15.384]	Alvin
[04:15.630]	The story that will change my best friend’s life.
[04:22.709]	(alvin plucks a book from the shelf and hands it to thomas.)
[04:23.990]
[04:24.376]	Thomas
[04:24.545]	The adventures of tom sawyer.
[04:26.175]	By mark twain.
[04:27.698]	A book report by tommy weaver.
[04:29.475]	Sixth grade.
[04:30.563]	(thomas addresses his sixth grade class.)
[04:30.795]	I got this book from my friend alvin.
[04:32.937]	It's a really good story but my favorite part is in the pre-face. It goes like this.
[04:37.176]	(he opens the book and reads.)
[04:37.336]	part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves,
[04:45.329]	And what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in. The author. Hartford.
[04:50.655]	Eighteen seventy-six.’
[04:53.609]	(he closes the book.)

[02:29.084]	Alvin
[02:29.287]	This store speaks through my father. He' s a conduit. He' s an instrument.
[02:34.216]	He' s a vessel. And i am his son. I too hear the prophetic whisper of the bookstore spirit.

[03:10.274]	Can you find him a story?
[03:14.055]	alvin listens again.
[03:15.156]
[03:16.210]	Thomas
[03:16.380]	Do you hear anything yet?
[03:17.585]	Alvin
[03:17.752]	No.
[03:18.581]	Wait! It needs... Something. It needs both of us.

[03:25.429]	Thomas
[03:25.589]	What do we do'
[03:26.799]	Alvin
[03:26.976]	Now we stand up straight looking shy and meek.

[03:28.975]	Now we stand up straight looking shy and meek.
[03:30.342]	Alvin
[03:30.509]	And we humbly wait for the store to speak.

[03:36.552]	That we' re preparing to receive.
[03:41.328]	Alvin
[03:41.516]	Now the next part' s not entirely clear.
[03:45.486]	It' s the part where dad gets dazed and queer.
[03:49.643]	Thomas
[03:49.863]	I think you nailed that part.
[03:50.954]	Alvin
[03:51.134]	I see... I see... I see a guy wearing cardboard wings,
[03:56.679]	A coat hanger halo, carrying a bell and a homemade book...
[04:00.617]	Wait!
[04:01.718]	Holy cow!
[04:02.662]	I know which book to give you now.

[04:37.176]	he opens the book and reads.
[04:37.336]	part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves,
[04:45.329]	And what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in. The author. Hartford.
