Pip: See? I've been trying to tell you. We can't make Jamila's wish come true. It's-- it's impossible!

[Posy sighs, rustle, bird sings]

Posy: I was sure we could make Jamila's wish come true, but I was being silly. It is impossible.

Pip: Well, I-- I didn't mean impossible impossible.

Posy: I guess wishing fairies can't always make wishes come true.

Pip: There must be something we can do. Um...

[Pigeon coos, wings flap, Pip gasps, upbeat music plays]

Pip: Posy, Jamila said she wanted to be surrounded by her flappy friends, right?
