Audio problem: About halfway through the movie, Richard and Fantasy reunite on the island. Richard says, "Fantasy." and Fantasy responds with, "Well, what were you expecting honey? The tooth fairy?" When she says "the tooth fairy" her lips are saying something completely different (and it's even worse, since it's a close-up of her face).
Dr. Jekyll: My boy, I derive no pleasure in telling you that you are in extreme danger.
Richard Tyler: Danger?
Dr. Jekyll: Even as we speak.
Question: Was everything Richard Tyler went through real, or was it all just a dream?
Answer: It's hard to say for sure but I think it was just a dream to help him to overcome his fears.

Answer: Some facts about accidents involving ladders and trees while he's talking to his father as they build the treehouse. He talks about how dangerous ladders and trees can be, which is a reflection of his cautious and somewhat anxious personality at the beginning of the film. Although Richard's exact statistics or facts aren't fully detailed, his concerns about safety are valid in a general sense—treehouse construction and using ladders do come with certain risks if not done properly, such as falling from a height or sustaining injuries. However, the exactness of Richard's claims (like any specific numbers or details) is not the focus of the story; it's more about Richard's growth from somebody who is fearful to someone who is brave enough to face his fears during the adventure that follows.
