Ow!
Whoa!
Whoo-hoo!
Got him!
Hi, I'm Hal!
I will name you George and I will look at you, and I will see your pretty little light, and I will hug you.
And then, I will let you go!
(Giggling) Are you cool with that?
Is that okay?
Firefly, oh firefly, you are a curious creature indeed.
(Gasping) Ooh!
Even more curious now!
It's his tummy that's glowing!
(Giggling) SQUEEKS: Now it's on.
Now it's off.
Now it's on, now it's off.
What?
DAISY: Hmm.
I wonder how he does that?
I don't know.
I mean, I don't see a light switch anywhere.
Remember, he's one of those bioluminescent critters.
They make their own light!
Oh, yeah!
Like glow worms too!
You're so, so special, George!
Sure is, and he's got one, two, three, four, five... six legs!
And two sets of wings!
NATURE CAT: Oooh!
Just like a lady bug!
Hi, George.
Hal, here.
Your buddy.
Will you be my special friend?
That's weird, the light's not hot.
Excellent observation, Hal.
The light doesn't give off any heat, not like the light bulbs in the house.
That is so cool!
Uh, Hal.
It looks like George wants to get out.
Okay!
Goodbye, George.
It was nice being your friend, even though it was but for a short time.
Fly free, my friend.
Say hello to the family.
Okay.
Keep in touch!
All right, be safe!
Okay.
Keep your phone on.
Okay!
I'll miss you.
Bye!
Bye, George!
Keep your tummy glowing!
