Yeah, it's been a while since I last posted here. Sorry about that. There hasn't been too much to post about, so I've been avoiding it. Again, I'm sorry about this. I'll try to get back into the swing of posting.
Anyway, Agent0042 has provided us with another transcript. This time it's "Sleepyhead." Thanks!

I really like this one. There's a lot of good, solid entertaining moments. It also shows the kids coming together to solve a problem and help out someone in need. Very nice lullaby song in this one too.

Walter Raccoon: "Sleepyhead"
(Walter Raccoon pulls up at the dock of the Raccoon family houseboat in his recycling boat.)
Pinch: Morning, Daddy!
Scootch: Papa!
Wanda: Did you have a good night at work?
Walter: The best. It was a great night for recycling.
Pinch: What did you do?
Scootch: (waving his arms) Tell us. Tell us.
(A flashback sequence is shown, outlining the events of Walter's work. In it, the two Muskrat children are shown playing paddleball against Mr. Muskrat's doors.)
Walter: Mr. Muskrat had to replace his doors because they took a terrible beating and it looked like his new doors were in for the same problem. But I got an idea how to use the old doors to save the new ones. (He is shown working.) I turned 'em into a ping pong table!
Scootch: (raising his arms) Yay!
Wanda: That was great thinking, Walter.
Pinch: What else did you do, Daddy?
Walter: Well, let's see.
(Another flashback sequence is shown.)
Walter: I turned a jumble of wires and bottles into a string of lanterns.
Wanda: We're very proud of you, honey.
Walter: Thanks, dear.
Pinch: (raising her hand) Daddy, I bet you're the best recycler there ever was.
Wanda: I hope everyone appreciates you as much as we do.
Walter: Well, that's the most exciting news of all. You're lookin' at Lake Hoohaw's Recycling Hero of the Year. I'm getting an award this evening.
Scootch: Papa! (He walks up to Walter. Walter picks him and gives him a hug.)
Pinch: An award? Do you get to make a speech and everything? Do you?
Walter: You bet I do. And I want you all to be there. (He pokes Scootch in the nose playfully. Scootch covers his nose and giggles.)
Wanda: We wouldn't miss it for the world. (Walter hands off Scootch to her and she holds him.) Now you make sure to get a good day's sleep. This is gonna be a big night in the Raccoon household. (The three start walking to their houseboat.)
Walter: I need to sleep, but I don't think I'll be able to. I'm too excited!
(The sound of musical whistling is heard.)
Walter: Hmm?
(The camera angle changes to show two songbirds in a tree-- a purplish female one on the left and a periwinkle male on the right.)
Walter: But if anything could help me sleep, it's the sound of those lovely larks. (He yawns. He and Wanda head inside.)
Pinch: And don't worry, Daddy. If that doesn't work, we'll help.
Scootch: Yeah, help.
(Scene change. Walter is shown briefly walking around his bedroom through the window of the Raccoon family houseboat. Wipe to down below, where Pinch and Scootch are standing underneath another window. They pace around, seemingly on patrol. Peanut, Butter and Jelly are shown approaching on rollerskates.)
Pinch: Quiet, ya'll.
Jelly: (whispering) What's the matter?
Pinch: Our Dad's asleep.
Peanut: What a sleepyhead. It's daytime.
Pinch: Our Dad sleeps during the day 'cause he works all night.
Peanut: (whispering) Why does he do that?
Pinch: He works at night so that when everybody wakes up, all their trash is gone and recycled.
Peanut: Oh, that's really smart.
Pinch: In fact, he's Recycling Hero of the Year.
Jelly: That's great!
Peanut: Hoohaw, way to go!
Butter: He-wo! Hee hee hee hee hee.
Jelly: (waving) Someday I'm gonna be a hero and wave to crowds and make speeches.
Peanut: Me too.
Butter: Me thwee!
(Scene change. Jelly is standing on a chair in front of a table that has an umbrella, making a speech.)
Jelly: My fellow lake Hoohawers, I'm honored to be your hero!
(The others applaud.)
Jelly: I'd like to thank my Mama, my Daddy and the Academy for this award. (She bows and the others applaud again. She gets down and Peanut takes her place.)
Peanut: I too am humbled by... what's that? My time's up? Aw man. (The others applaud, he takes a brief bow and gets down.)
Jelly: Hurray for Peanut!
Pinch: We love you, Peanut!
Scootch: Yay!
(The view slides up to Walter's room.)
Butter: He-wo!
Walter: (poking his head out the window) Pinch, Scootch, kids, please keep it down! I was almost asleep. (yawns)
Scootch: Sorry, my fault!
Walter: Just play a little more quietly, okay?
(He closes the window. The scene changes and the larks are shown flying in, singing their tune. They land on top of the umbrella.)
Peanut: Shh! Keep it down! No chirping!
Pinch: It's okay, Peanut. Keep singing, little birds. (The birds look at each other, then resume their singing.)
Pinch: My Dad says he likes the way the larks sound. They help him sleep.
Peanut: Then let's make sure he can hear 'em. Let's get 'em closer to his window. (He picks up the umbrella.)
Jelly: Good idea. It's almost there!
Pinch: It's working! Listen! (sound of Walter's snoring, a gust of wind blows the top off the umbrella) Oh no! (The birds fly away and the umbrella top covers the window.)
Jelly: Maybe he's so fast asleep, he didn't notice.
Peanut: 'Fraid not.
(Walter pokes his head through the umbrella top.)
Walter: What happened? Is everyone okay?
Butter: (pointing) Pwetty fwower!
Scootch: Sorry, my fault!
Jelly: Oops!
Butter: Sowwy.
Pinch: Sorry, Daddy.
Walter: It's okay, kids. But be careful. Now I've really gotta get some sleep. (He struggles to break free of the umbrella.) Oh dear. Oh!
(The others walk back towards the table. Flick approaches.)
Flick: Hey! How come your dad was dressed up like a big, giant flower? Wasn't he supposed to be sleeping?
Pinch: (looking very frustrated) Oh!
Flick: What? What did I say?
Jelly: It's really important that we help Mr. Raccoon fall asleep.
Peanut: And now the birds that were helping him flew away.
Flick: Hey, I'm a bird. I can help. What do I have to do?
Pinch: Well, the sounds of the birds help Daddy fall asleep.
Flick: Bird sounds? I'll give him bird sounds.
Pinch: Nice sounds, Flick.
Flick: Hey, all the sounds I make are nice. Check this out. (He flies up to Walter's window. A gentle melody is played.) Cuckoo.
Peanut: Keep going. You can tell he's asleep when you hear him snoring.
Flick: Cuckoo. Cuckoo! (He flies in a loop and starts singing very off-key.) I'm so cuckoo when I'm with you-you!
(Flick continues to sing indistinctly as the others are shown down below. They all cover their ears.)
Jelly: What a terrible racket! How can Mr. Raccoon sleep through all that?
Walter: (walking up behind the others) I can't. Why is Flick doing that?
(The others turn around and look Walter in surprise. Up above, Flick continues his "singing," increasingly incoherent. He falls and lands in a garbage can, ending up with a banana peel on top of his head.)
Flick: Uh, they told me you like bird noises.
Scootch: Sorry, my fault.
Walter: Now, kids, no more noise. Please? Okay? (He yawns and walks away.)
Pinch: Poor Daddy. He's having so much trouble sleeping. We need to do something for him. But what?
Jelly: We sleep every night. We're experts on sleeping. If we can't help him, nobody can.
Peanut: Yeah. So we just gotta think what puts us to sleep. (He imagines lying down to bed.) I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. (He starts snoring.)
Pinch: Once I feel my soft flower blanket around me, I'm out like a light. (She imagines Walter in a flower field.) I know. Maybe we should take Daddy to a flower meadow. That's soft. (Walter snores in the fantasy.)
Butter: Cwadle! Cozy! (She imagines herself in a cradle, then Walter in one, snoring.)
Jelly: We can put all that stuff together. A pillow, a soft blanket, and a cradle and he'll fall right asleep.
Pinch: But I don't think my Dad will fit in a cradle.
Peanut: So we'll build a dad-sized one.
Jelly: Phew. We're gonna need a lot of supplies.
Peanut: I bet Dad'll help.
Pinch: Good thinking, Peanut.
Butter: (waving her arms excitedly) Cwadle, yay!
(Scene change to the Otter household. Opal is shown hanging laundry and she watches with a smile as the kids pass by with a wheelbarrow of supplies.)
Peanut: Thanks for helping out, Dad!
Ernest: (offscreen) My pleasure.
(Everyone chatters noisily and excitedly as they set to work.)
Walter: (walking up to Peanut and Jelly) Kids! Could you please be a little quieter? You're making a terrible racket.
(The kids step aside and present to Walter the finished cradle.)
Pinch: We made it for you, Daddy. To help you sleep.
Walter: A cradle? For me? You really outdid yourselves. What a sweet idea.
(He lays down in it and it starts to rock. An instrumental of Brahm's Lullaby plays.)
Jelly: (rocking the cradle) How does it feel? Comfy?
Walter: Yes, it's very restful. (The headboard breaks and it falls. The camera cuts to Scootch as Walter is heard tumbling.)
Scootch: Oops! Sorry, my fault.
(Walter is shown laying in the broken remains of the cradle.)
Walter: Um, great work, kids, but I guess I'm too big for a cradle.
(Slide wipe to Jelly, who is swinging Butter on a tire swing. The others are standing or sitting around, dejected.)
Jelly: We've tried everything to help Mr. Raccoon sleep.
Peanut: But nothing's worked.
Jelly: (as a ding sound effect plays) Hey, I know something we haven't tried.
Flick: My super-hypnotic magic duck powers? (Scootch covers his mouth and giggles.)
Jelly: No! The Noodle Dance.
(The Noodle Dance sequence begins immediately. The others dance happily while Peanut stands still. Scootch hops over to where he is and dances a bit. Peanut gives in and starts dancing.)
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the Noodle Dance.
(A light bulb appears over Jelly's head and the sequence ends.)
Jelly: I've got it!
Pinch: Shh! Not so loud.
Jelly: Right. Shh. That's my idea.
(She goes into a fantasy sequence and glue is shown covering the screen, then all of Lake Hoohaw.)
Jelly: We'll cover all of Lake Hoohaw in glue, so everybody will get stuck and won't be able to move.
Pinch: Sure. If nobody can move, nobody can do anything to wake up my Dad. (The sequence ends.)
Peanut: Great idea. But I don't think we've got enough glue to do that.
Jelly: We'll just have to pretend! Okay? Nobody move!
(Everybody stands completely still. A small branch falls from a tree and Peanut rushes over and catches it before it hits the ground.)
Peanut: Shh.
(Pinch belongs humming melodically.)
Jelly: Shh! What are you doing?!
Pinch: Sorry. I'm humming. But I'll hum softer. This song helps me think.
(Sounds of snoring are heard. Baby Butter has fallen asleep.)
Jelly: It doesn't just help you think. It helps Butter sleep.
Peanut: Yeah. Just like your dad and the birds.
Pinch: Now that gives me and idea.
(The group walks up outside the window. Pinch begins humming and the others join. The larks fly into the tree. The group begins singing a song. As the song begins, Jelly covers Flick's beak.)
~~~Oodelee, Oodelay~~~
[Peanut, Jelly, Pinch]
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm, mmm, mmm
Oodelee, oodelay
Oodelee, oodelay
Sleep my neighbor
Sleep through the day
All my friends are quiet at play
So sleep as sunlight fills up the sky
Close your eyes and sleep
Oodelee, oodelay
Oodelee, oodelay
[Jelly]
(He's asleep!)
(sound of Walter Raccoon snoring, extended instrumental break)
[Peanut, Jelly and Pinch]
Close your eyes and sleep.
(Scene change. The recycling boat is shown from the outside as Walter gives his speech. As Walter continues, he is shown speaking inside.)
Walter: And so, one person's trash is another person's treasure. That's my motto. And as some of the youngsters proved today, a little imagination can help ya' think up the answer to any problem.
(Mayor Jeff is shown wheeling in a birdbath containing the two larks. As Walter continues to speak, sounds of snoring can be heard.)
Walter: I dedicate these recycled things to the energetic and creative kids of Lake Hoohaw.
(Walter looks shocked. The scene changes to show that Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Flick, Pinch and Scootch are all sound asleep.)
Walter: (as a tinkly instrumental of "Oodelee, Oodelay" plays) Oh my. Did my little speech put them to sleep?
Wanda: (covering Pinch with a blanket) No, dear. They're just totally worn out from trying to put you to sleep.
Walter: (giggling, as the shot shows the outside of the boat) Can you imagine that? Ha ha!
(The adults all laugh and the scene fades to black. During the closing credits, instrumentals of "Theme of Sergeant Gravel" [from "Sergeant Gravel to the Rescue"] and "Oodelee, Oodelay" are played.)

Transcript - Munchy's Sinking Feeling
Be sure to thank Agent0042, because he has provided us with another PB+J Otter transcipt. Thanks!
"Munchy's Sinking Feeling"
Written by Anne Baumgarten and Bruce Shelly
Music for Songs by Jeffrey Lodin, Lyrics for Songs by William Squier
Transcribed by Agent0042
(This story reminds me of "Cry Buggie" from "Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends." Squirt was upset that he wouldn't be able to play soccerberry because he hurt his ankle. He didn't want to cry, though, because Dragon had said that crying was for babies.)
Characters
Adam Rose as Peanut Otter
Jenell Brook Slack as Jelly Otter
Gina Marie Tortorici as Baby Butter Otter
Chris Phillips as Munchy Beaver
Cody Pennes as Pinch Raccoon
Eddie Korbich as Flick Duck
Gwen Shepard as Opal Otter
Chris Phillips as Ernest Otter
Walter Raccoon
Ernest: "Munchy's Sinking Feeling"
(A triumphant theme plays and a toy boat is shown sailing in the water, attached to a small rope.)
Munchy: Smooth waters ahead, Captain! (makes wind noises) Watch out for pirates! Full speed ahead!
Walter: (approaching with his recycling boat) Easy. Easy, now.
(Peanut, Jelly and Pinch are out walking when Jelly spots...)
Jelly: Huh? I don't think Munchy sees the recycling boat.
Peanut: I don't think the recycling boat sees Munchy!
Pinch: (covering her eyes) I don't think I'll watch.
Peanut: Look out, Munchy!
Jelly: Stop! Look out! (sound of clunk and boat shattering)
Munchy: (observing the pieces) My boat!
Walter: Sorry. Really, really sorry. I'll get ya' a new one.
Munchy: Thank you, but I don't want a new one. My dad chewed me that boat special. I've had it since I was born.
Walter: (picking up a bunch of toys) Would you like some of these toys the Snootie Poodles threw out? They toss out bushels of 'em every morning.
Munchy: (as Peanut, Jelly and Pinch approach) No thank you. I think I'll just go home now.
Jelly: We're sorry, Munchy. (Munchy starts to walk away, then stops.)
Peanut: Yeah. We know you loved that boat.
Pinch: It's no wonder you're starting to cry.
Munchy: Cry? No, not me! Never! Babies cry. Wimps cry. I--I'm too big for crying. Maybe I'll see you guys sometime. I gotta go. (He walks away.)
Jelly: We can't let him be this sad!
Peanut: So what can we do?
Jelly: Well, there must be a hundred ways to cheer him up. Hmm. Maybe we can give him something to replace his boat. Like a rock, or a leaf, or... (gasps) Your Bucky Space Beaver doll!
Peanut: Bucky Spacebeaver action figure! (Jelly grabs for it.) Huh?! (grabbing back) A-and I'm keeping him!
Jelly: Munchy'll just play with him for a while!
Peanut: (holding on to the doll) No!
Pinch: I know how you feel, Peanut. I have a favorite doll too.
Peanut: Bucky Spacebeaver is not a doll! He's an action figure!
Pinch: What's the difference?
Peanut: (as a heroic theme plays) He's the fearless conquerer of distant galaxies and unknown asteroids!
Jelly: And right now, Munchy needs to play with him! You could share it for a little while, couldn't you?
Peanut: I could? Yeah, I guess I could. (He hands the doll to Jelly.)
Jelly: (running off) Munchy, wait up? (Peanut frowns.)
Pinch: (approaching Peanut and putting a hand on his shoulder) Jelly's right, Peanut. No matter what it takes to make Munchy feel better, you, I mean, we, should do it.
Peanut: (nonchalant) Yeah, I guess.
Pinch: Ask yourself this, Peanut-- what would Bucky Spacebeaver do if a friend really needed his help?
Peanut: Munchy, Jelly, wait for us! We wanna help!
(Walter Raccoon watches the scene as everyone tries to help Munchy. They head for the Otter family houseboat.)
Peanut: (inside a box decorated like a rocket ship) Okay, Munchy. Pretend I'm trapped up here on this damaged space station. So you and Bucky Spacebeaver have to come and rescue me.
Munchy: I sure wish some superhero could have rescued my boat. (sitting down and putting down the doll) Bucky doesn't feel like going into space right now.
Pinch: (holding a tray of cookies shaped like fish) Have a happy fish cookie, Munchy. Whenever I eat a happy fish cookie, I feel like smiling.
Munchy: (taking the cookie) I used to eat cookies when I played with my boat. (sets down the cookie) Right now, I'm not so hungry.
(Peanut and Pinch shrug. Scene change-- Pinch heads inside the houseboat.)
Pinch: Jelly? Making Munchy happy is going to be harder than we thought.
Jelly: Don't worry, Pinch. When Munchy sees this, he'll bust out laughing. (She presents Butter, who is decorated as a clown.)
Butter: Tee hee hee hee.
Jelly: Show Pinch what we've been practicing.
Butter: Hee hee hee. Hee hee hee. (walks up to Pinch and squirts in the face with water from her bottle)
Pinch: Aaahh!
Butter: (exiting the houseboat) Funny, funny!
Pinch: Uh huh, great. You give that a try. But just in case that doesn't work, I'm going for help. (She leaves. Butter walks to Munchy and taps him on the shoulder.)
Jelly: Butter wants to do a trick I showed her. Okay, Butter!
Butter: Funny, funny! (She does a handstand. Peanut and Jelly giggle unconvincingly.)
Peanut: Wow, that's a big laugh.
Jelly: (speaking at the same time as Peanut) Funny clown!
Munchy: One time I played that my boat took a whole circus across the ocean.
Butter: (standing on her head) Not funny?
(Munchy shakes his head and starts to walk away.)
Peanut and Jelly: Munchy?
Peanut: I've got an idea. Hey, Munchy, how about a real fun game of catch.
(He removes a ball from the pretend spaceship and throws it at Munchy, but Munchy doesn't even try to catch it. It just bounces off his chest.)
Munchy: I don't feel like catch. (turns his back on Peanut)
Peanut: Nothing's working.
Jelly: Pinch went to get Flick. Maybe he can help.
Flick: (from offscreen) Hey, Munchy! (approaches quickly, panting for breath) I hear that...
Munchy: Not me. I'm not crying. That's for sure. I'm not. (sniffles slightly)
Butter: (approaching Flick) Tee hee hee hee!
Flick: (picking Butter up and placing her on his head) Hey! How do you like my clown hat?
Butter: Tee hee hee hee.
Munchy: Yeah. Funny.
Flick: Munchy, speaking of hats, hear's a joke. Why did the turkey cross the road?
Munchy: He was looking for his boat?
Flick: Na-a-ah! The turkey crossed the road...
Jelly: ...to prove he wasn't chicken!
Flick: (looks irritated, but decides to let it go) Yeah! To prove he wasn't chicken!
(He places his hands to the side of head and laughs wildly, then falls on the ground clutches himself laughing.)
Munchy: Oh. Then where was his boat?
Jelly: We're just making him sadder.
Flick: He hasn't heard my best one yet! (gets up and runs back to Munchy) Hey, Munch-- here's one you'll love. Why didn't anyone take the school bus to school?
Munchy: I don't know. Why didn't anyone take the school bus to school?
Flick: Because it wouldn't fit through the door! Ha ha ha ha ha! I quack myself up! Ha ha. Oh, that's even funnier! I quack myself up! A ha, t'cha! I'm a duck, get it?! A ha ha, ha ha ha... (drumroll, Flick places his hands in his head and looks sad.) Tough crowd.
Pinch: (counting on her fingers) Games don't work, clowns don't work, jokes don't work. Well, bad jokes don't work. Nothing works.
Peanut and Jelly: Hmm...
Jelly: Well, Munchy likes funny songs.
Peanut: You're a genius, Jelly! (walks over to Munchy) Hey, Munchy!
~~~Laugh it Out~~~
[Peanut]
(Hey, Munchy!)
When you need a giggle
Give a little wiggle
How you gonna pout, waddlin' about?
[Jelly]
Try a little wobble
Shakin' like a blobble
Take the way you're feelin' and laugh it out
[Peanut, Jelly, Flick and Pinch]
Go to where the giggles grow, deep down inside
Never knew a hee-hee-ho-ho-ho
Ya' had to hide
[Flick]
Flappin' like a duck-o
Make you wanna chuckle
What's a day without flippin' like a trout?
[Peanut, Jelly, Flick and Pinch]
Feelin' really doofy, get a little goofy
Take the way you're feelin' and laugh it out
Waddle wobble, waddle wiggle
Twirlin' like a whirly-giggle
Take the way you're feeling and laugh it out
Tada!
[Munchy]
(I used to sing songs to my boat.)
Pinch: He's gonna cry.
Peanut: Hey, Munchy, you don't wanna cry. You wanna laugh.
Flick: Yeah. Turn that geezer frown upside-down.
Munchy: What frown? I'm laughing. Eh. Now will everybody just excuse me please? (walks away)
Pinch: Everything we do just makes him sadder and sadder.
Jelly: Then we've gotta do something we haven't thought of yet. Let's noodle!
Pinch: Great idea!
Butter: Noodle, noodle!
(The Noodle Dance sequence begins. Peanut stands still for just a couple of seconds and then starts dancing.)
Noodle, noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Flick: I've got it! A tickle machine! (funky techno music plays as Flick imagines his idea)
Munchy: (giggles uncontrollably as the machine tickles him, fantasy sequence ends)
Jelly: Where do we get one, Flick?
Flick: Uh. Hey, I'm an idea guy. You all can work out the details.
Peanut: That's a pretty big detail, Flick.
Flick: (walking over to the pretend spaceship and sitting down) Yeah, okay, you're right.
Pinch: Flick, you're a genius!
Flick: I always thought so, up 'til now.
Pinch: But you are. That box. It's just what we need.
Flick: It is?
Pinch: Sure. We could use it to build Munchy a big new boat.
(She imagines Munchy sailing out at sea on a big new boat.)
Peanut: (as the fantasy is shown) That box is cardboard, Pinch. I'm afraid it'd get soggy and sink. (The boat is shown sinking.)
Munchy: Whoa, oh! (fantasy sequence ends)
Pinch: Hmm. (imagines new idea) Then we get a special waterproof paint and paint it all over the box. (sequence ends)
Peanut: Great idea! Do we have any waterproof paint?
Pinch: Nope, sorry. But look at Munchy now!
(Munchy is just now picking up the Bucky Spacebeaver doll.)
Pinch: He's got the Bucky Spacebeaver doll.
Peanut: (crossing his arms) It's an action figure!
Jelly: (putting her hand on Peanut's shoulder) Rigght. And I know how we can cheer him up! (poking Peanut in the face) Peanut, you really want to cheer him up, right?
Peanut: Well, yeah.
Jelly: So it's okay? You're with me?
Peanut: (throwing up his hands) Sure, if it makes Munchy happy.
(Jelly walks over to Munchy.)
Jelly: Isn't Bucky Spacebeaver great?
Munchy: Uh yeah, kinda.
Jelly: You can keep him for as long as you want! Right, Peanut?
Peanut: What?! (rubs the back of his head) Well, okay. As long as "as long as he wants" isn't that long.
Jelly: Bucky Spacebeaver's better than any old boat. He won't break, he won't sink, he can be your new favorite toy!
Peanut: (rushing over) Wait!
Jelly: Take it! Keep him! Have fun!
Peanut: (clutching his head) Oh no. I don't think I can do this!
Pinch: (walking up to Jelly) Jelly, this isn't going to work.
Jelly: How come?
(The "camera" briefly shows Peanut wearing a big wobbling frown, as if he's going to cry.)
Pinch: Because now Peanut's gonna cry.
Jelly: You're right. Now we've got two people to try to make happy.
Pinch: (rubbing her right eye) All this sadness is making me feel like crying. (She does, then there is a ding sound effect and she smiles.) There. I feel much better.
Jelly: Wow. Maybe that'll work for Munchy and Peanut! (walking over to Munchy) Go ahead and cry. (walks over to Peanut) It's okay!
Peanut: (shaking his head) Not me. (pokes himself in the chest) I'm not gonna cry. (points to Munchy) Are you?
Munchy: Not me. (puts his arms to the side and adopts a fierce look) Crying is for babies.
Peanut: (eyes closed and finger pointing) Yeah! Big kids don't cry. (He crosses his arms.)
Munchy: (crossing his arms too) No crying! Never!
Peanut and Munchy: Hmph!
(They give each other a look as if coming to an agreement. They then turn face forward and bawl their eyes out. They embrace, then stop crying. Both get looks of surprise, then smile. They release each other.)
Peanut: Hey, I feel better!
Munchy: Yeah, me too. Much better.
Pinch: Sometimes you just have to let your sad feelings out.
Peanut: I guess when ya' have to cry, ya' have to cry.
Munchy: Yeah. (closes his eyes and smiles, points to himself) Even big guys like me.
Peanut: Even anyone. Hey, Munchy, you can play with my Bucky Spacebeaver for as long as you want.
Munchy: (holding out the doll) But he's your favorite.
Peanut: Yeah.
Munchy: You would share your favorite toy with me for as long as I want.
Peanut: It would be okay. I'm not sad anymore.
Munchy: (frowning) Well, I'm still sad about losing my boat, (smiles) but not too sad. Here. (hands back the doll) You wanna play catch?
Peanut: Sure!
Munchy: Come on!
(They race away. Scene change. The two play catch with the ball seen earlier and giggle.)
Peanut: I've got it! Here you go, Munchy!
Flick: (who is watching with the others) I still think my tickle machine would have worked.
Walter: (running towards the group) Oh, there you are, laddie. Been lookin' for you from the recycle boat to Babblberry Hill. (holds out Munchy's boat, ding sound effect) Here.
Munchy: My boat!
Walter: Yep. Felt really bad when I caused that shipwreck. So I fished all the pieces out of the lake and fixed her up.
Peanut: Wow. It looks good as new.
Munchy: Thank you so much, Mr. Raccoon.
Walter: My pleasure. (pats him on the head) Next time, we've both gotta be more careful.
Munchy: Aye aye, sir. Hey, would Bucky Spacebeaver like a boat ride?
Peanut: Would he? Full speed ahead!
(Scene change. The Otter family is out on the deck of the houseboat late at night, just before bedtime.)
Jelly: It makes me sad to think we were just making Munchy sadder.
Peanut: How sad?
Jelly: Well, I'm not gonna cry about it.
Peanut: Go ahead. You'll feel better.
Ernest: The truth is, sometimes I cry.
Opal: Grown-ups do, you know. All right, Butter, it's time for bed.
Butter: (crossing her arms) No bed.
Peanut: Uh oh. Ya' think she's gonna cry?
Jelly: Quick! Get the tickle machine!
(She and butter race over to Butter and they tickle her.)
Peanut and Jelly: Tickle tickle tickle. Ticky ticky ticky.
(The music from the tickle machine fantasy sequence plays. Everyone laughs. During the closing credits, instrumentals of "When Are We Gonna Get There?" and "Laugh it Out" play.

Walter: (approaching with his recycling boat) Easy. Easy, now.
(Peanut, Jelly and Pinch are out walking when Jelly spots...)
Jelly: Huh? I don't think Munchy sees the recycling boat.
Peanut: I don't think the recycling boat sees Munchy!
Pinch: (covering her eyes) I don't think I'll watch.
Peanut: Look out, Munchy!
Jelly: Stop! Look out! (sound of clunk and boat shattering)
Munchy: (observing the pieces) My boat!
Walter: Sorry. Really, really sorry. I'll get ya' a new one.
Munchy: Thank you, but I don't want a new one. My dad chewed me that boat special. I've had it since I was born.
Walter: (picking up a bunch of toys) Would you like some of these toys the Snootie Poodles threw out? They toss out bushels of 'em every morning.
Munchy: (as Peanut, Jelly and Pinch approach) No thank you. I think I'll just go home now.
Jelly: We're sorry, Munchy. (Munchy starts to walk away, then stops.)
Peanut: Yeah. We know you loved that boat.
Pinch: It's no wonder you're starting to cry.
Munchy: Cry? No, not me! Never! Babies cry. Wimps cry. I--I'm too big for crying. Maybe I'll see you guys sometime. I gotta go. (He walks away.)
Jelly: We can't let him be this sad!
Peanut: So what can we do?
Jelly: Well, there must be a hundred ways to cheer him up. Hmm. Maybe we can give him something to replace his boat. Like a rock, or a leaf, or... (gasps) Your Bucky Space Beaver doll!
Peanut: Bucky Spacebeaver action figure! (Jelly grabs for it.) Huh?! (grabbing back) A-and I'm keeping him!
Jelly: Munchy'll just play with him for a while!
Peanut: (holding on to the doll) No!
Pinch: I know how you feel, Peanut. I have a favorite doll too.
Peanut: Bucky Spacebeaver is not a doll! He's an action figure!
Pinch: What's the difference?
Peanut: (as a heroic theme plays) He's the fearless conquerer of distant galaxies and unknown asteroids!
Jelly: And right now, Munchy needs to play with him! You could share it for a little while, couldn't you?
Peanut: I could? Yeah, I guess I could. (He hands the doll to Jelly.)
Jelly: (running off) Munchy, wait up? (Peanut frowns.)
Pinch: (approaching Peanut and putting a hand on his shoulder) Jelly's right, Peanut. No matter what it takes to make Munchy feel better, you, I mean, we, should do it.
Peanut: (nonchalant) Yeah, I guess.
Pinch: Ask yourself this, Peanut-- what would Bucky Spacebeaver do if a friend really needed his help?
Peanut: Munchy, Jelly, wait for us! We wanna help!
(Walter Raccoon watches the scene as everyone tries to help Munchy. They head for the Otter family houseboat.)
Peanut: (inside a box decorated like a rocket ship) Okay, Munchy. Pretend I'm trapped up here on this damaged space station. So you and Bucky Spacebeaver have to come and rescue me.
Munchy: I sure wish some superhero could have rescued my boat. (sitting down and putting down the doll) Bucky doesn't feel like going into space right now.
Pinch: (holding a tray of cookies shaped like fish) Have a happy fish cookie, Munchy. Whenever I eat a happy fish cookie, I feel like smiling.
Munchy: (taking the cookie) I used to eat cookies when I played with my boat. (sets down the cookie) Right now, I'm not so hungry.
(Peanut and Pinch shrug. Scene change-- Pinch heads inside the houseboat.)
Pinch: Jelly? Making Munchy happy is going to be harder than we thought.
Jelly: Don't worry, Pinch. When Munchy sees this, he'll bust out laughing. (She presents Butter, who is decorated as a clown.)
Butter: Tee hee hee hee.
Jelly: Show Pinch what we've been practicing.
Butter: Hee hee hee. Hee hee hee. (walks up to Pinch and squirts in the face with water from her bottle)
Pinch: Aaahh!
Butter: (exiting the houseboat) Funny, funny!
Pinch: Uh huh, great. You give that a try. But just in case that doesn't work, I'm going for help. (She leaves. Butter walks to Munchy and taps him on the shoulder.)
Jelly: Butter wants to do a trick I showed her. Okay, Butter!
Butter: Funny, funny! (She does a handstand. Peanut and Jelly giggle unconvincingly.)
Peanut: Wow, that's a big laugh.
Jelly: (speaking at the same time as Peanut) Funny clown!
Munchy: One time I played that my boat took a whole circus across the ocean.
Butter: (standing on her head) Not funny?
(Munchy shakes his head and starts to walk away.)
Peanut and Jelly: Munchy?
Peanut: I've got an idea. Hey, Munchy, how about a real fun game of catch.
(He removes a ball from the pretend spaceship and throws it at Munchy, but Munchy doesn't even try to catch it. It just bounces off his chest.)
Munchy: I don't feel like catch. (turns his back on Peanut)
Peanut: Nothing's working.
Jelly: Pinch went to get Flick. Maybe he can help.
Flick: (from offscreen) Hey, Munchy! (approaches quickly, panting for breath) I hear that...
Munchy: Not me. I'm not crying. That's for sure. I'm not. (sniffles slightly)
Butter: (approaching Flick) Tee hee hee hee!
Flick: (picking Butter up and placing her on his head) Hey! How do you like my clown hat?
Butter: Tee hee hee hee.
Munchy: Yeah. Funny.
Flick: Munchy, speaking of hats, hear's a joke. Why did the turkey cross the road?
Munchy: He was looking for his boat?
Flick: Na-a-ah! The turkey crossed the road...
Jelly: ...to prove he wasn't chicken!
Flick: (looks irritated, but decides to let it go) Yeah! To prove he wasn't chicken!
(He places his hands to the side of head and laughs wildly, then falls on the ground clutches himself laughing.)
Munchy: Oh. Then where was his boat?
Jelly: We're just making him sadder.
Flick: He hasn't heard my best one yet! (gets up and runs back to Munchy) Hey, Munch-- here's one you'll love. Why didn't anyone take the school bus to school?
Munchy: I don't know. Why didn't anyone take the school bus to school?
Flick: Because it wouldn't fit through the door! Ha ha ha ha ha! I quack myself up! Ha ha. Oh, that's even funnier! I quack myself up! A ha, t'cha! I'm a duck, get it?! A ha ha, ha ha ha... (drumroll, Flick places his hands in his head and looks sad.) Tough crowd.
Pinch: (counting on her fingers) Games don't work, clowns don't work, jokes don't work. Well, bad jokes don't work. Nothing works.
Peanut and Jelly: Hmm...
Jelly: Well, Munchy likes funny songs.
Peanut: You're a genius, Jelly! (walks over to Munchy) Hey, Munchy!
~~~Laugh it Out~~~
[Peanut]
(Hey, Munchy!)
When you need a giggle
Give a little wiggle
How you gonna pout, waddlin' about?
[Jelly]
Try a little wobble
Shakin' like a blobble
Take the way you're feelin' and laugh it out
[Peanut, Jelly, Flick and Pinch]
Go to where the giggles grow, deep down inside
Never knew a hee-hee-ho-ho-ho
Ya' had to hide
[Flick]
Flappin' like a duck-o
Make you wanna chuckle
What's a day without flippin' like a trout?
[Peanut, Jelly, Flick and Pinch]
Feelin' really doofy, get a little goofy
Take the way you're feelin' and laugh it out
Waddle wobble, waddle wiggle
Twirlin' like a whirly-giggle
Take the way you're feeling and laugh it out
Tada!
[Munchy]
(I used to sing songs to my boat.)
Pinch: He's gonna cry.
Peanut: Hey, Munchy, you don't wanna cry. You wanna laugh.
Flick: Yeah. Turn that geezer frown upside-down.
Munchy: What frown? I'm laughing. Eh. Now will everybody just excuse me please? (walks away)
Pinch: Everything we do just makes him sadder and sadder.
Jelly: Then we've gotta do something we haven't thought of yet. Let's noodle!
Pinch: Great idea!
Butter: Noodle, noodle!
(The Noodle Dance sequence begins. Peanut stands still for just a couple of seconds and then starts dancing.)
Noodle, noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Flick: I've got it! A tickle machine! (funky techno music plays as Flick imagines his idea)
Munchy: (giggles uncontrollably as the machine tickles him, fantasy sequence ends)
Jelly: Where do we get one, Flick?
Flick: Uh. Hey, I'm an idea guy. You all can work out the details.
Peanut: That's a pretty big detail, Flick.
Flick: (walking over to the pretend spaceship and sitting down) Yeah, okay, you're right.
Pinch: Flick, you're a genius!
Flick: I always thought so, up 'til now.
Pinch: But you are. That box. It's just what we need.
Flick: It is?
Pinch: Sure. We could use it to build Munchy a big new boat.
(She imagines Munchy sailing out at sea on a big new boat.)
Peanut: (as the fantasy is shown) That box is cardboard, Pinch. I'm afraid it'd get soggy and sink. (The boat is shown sinking.)
Munchy: Whoa, oh! (fantasy sequence ends)
Pinch: Hmm. (imagines new idea) Then we get a special waterproof paint and paint it all over the box. (sequence ends)
Peanut: Great idea! Do we have any waterproof paint?
Pinch: Nope, sorry. But look at Munchy now!
(Munchy is just now picking up the Bucky Spacebeaver doll.)
Pinch: He's got the Bucky Spacebeaver doll.
Peanut: (crossing his arms) It's an action figure!
Jelly: (putting her hand on Peanut's shoulder) Rigght. And I know how we can cheer him up! (poking Peanut in the face) Peanut, you really want to cheer him up, right?
Peanut: Well, yeah.
Jelly: So it's okay? You're with me?
Peanut: (throwing up his hands) Sure, if it makes Munchy happy.
(Jelly walks over to Munchy.)
Jelly: Isn't Bucky Spacebeaver great?
Munchy: Uh yeah, kinda.
Jelly: You can keep him for as long as you want! Right, Peanut?
Peanut: What?! (rubs the back of his head) Well, okay. As long as "as long as he wants" isn't that long.
Jelly: Bucky Spacebeaver's better than any old boat. He won't break, he won't sink, he can be your new favorite toy!
Peanut: (rushing over) Wait!
Jelly: Take it! Keep him! Have fun!
Peanut: (clutching his head) Oh no. I don't think I can do this!
Pinch: (walking up to Jelly) Jelly, this isn't going to work.
Jelly: How come?
(The "camera" briefly shows Peanut wearing a big wobbling frown, as if he's going to cry.)
Pinch: Because now Peanut's gonna cry.
Jelly: You're right. Now we've got two people to try to make happy.
Pinch: (rubbing her right eye) All this sadness is making me feel like crying. (She does, then there is a ding sound effect and she smiles.) There. I feel much better.
Jelly: Wow. Maybe that'll work for Munchy and Peanut! (walking over to Munchy) Go ahead and cry. (walks over to Peanut) It's okay!
Peanut: (shaking his head) Not me. (pokes himself in the chest) I'm not gonna cry. (points to Munchy) Are you?
Munchy: Not me. (puts his arms to the side and adopts a fierce look) Crying is for babies.
Peanut: (eyes closed and finger pointing) Yeah! Big kids don't cry. (He crosses his arms.)
Munchy: (crossing his arms too) No crying! Never!
Peanut and Munchy: Hmph!
(They give each other a look as if coming to an agreement. They then turn face forward and bawl their eyes out. They embrace, then stop crying. Both get looks of surprise, then smile. They release each other.)
Peanut: Hey, I feel better!
Munchy: Yeah, me too. Much better.
Pinch: Sometimes you just have to let your sad feelings out.
Peanut: I guess when ya' have to cry, ya' have to cry.
Munchy: Yeah. (closes his eyes and smiles, points to himself) Even big guys like me.
Peanut: Even anyone. Hey, Munchy, you can play with my Bucky Spacebeaver for as long as you want.
Munchy: (holding out the doll) But he's your favorite.
Peanut: Yeah.
Munchy: You would share your favorite toy with me for as long as I want.
Peanut: It would be okay. I'm not sad anymore.
Munchy: (frowning) Well, I'm still sad about losing my boat, (smiles) but not too sad. Here. (hands back the doll) You wanna play catch?
Peanut: Sure!
Munchy: Come on!
(They race away. Scene change. The two play catch with the ball seen earlier and giggle.)
Peanut: I've got it! Here you go, Munchy!
Flick: (who is watching with the others) I still think my tickle machine would have worked.
Walter: (running towards the group) Oh, there you are, laddie. Been lookin' for you from the recycle boat to Babblberry Hill. (holds out Munchy's boat, ding sound effect) Here.
Munchy: My boat!
Walter: Yep. Felt really bad when I caused that shipwreck. So I fished all the pieces out of the lake and fixed her up.
Peanut: Wow. It looks good as new.
Munchy: Thank you so much, Mr. Raccoon.
Walter: My pleasure. (pats him on the head) Next time, we've both gotta be more careful.
Munchy: Aye aye, sir. Hey, would Bucky Spacebeaver like a boat ride?
Peanut: Would he? Full speed ahead!
(Scene change. The Otter family is out on the deck of the houseboat late at night, just before bedtime.)
Jelly: It makes me sad to think we were just making Munchy sadder.
Peanut: How sad?
Jelly: Well, I'm not gonna cry about it.
Peanut: Go ahead. You'll feel better.
Ernest: The truth is, sometimes I cry.
Opal: Grown-ups do, you know. All right, Butter, it's time for bed.
Butter: (crossing her arms) No bed.
Peanut: Uh oh. Ya' think she's gonna cry?
Jelly: Quick! Get the tickle machine!
(She and butter race over to Butter and they tickle her.)
Peanut and Jelly: Tickle tickle tickle. Ticky ticky ticky.
(The music from the tickle machine fantasy sequence plays. Everyone laughs. During the closing credits, instrumentals of "When Are We Gonna Get There?" and "Laugh it Out" play.

New Episodes for Season 4
I'm really sorry for not posting in a month and a day. Things just got in the way. But I have many new episodes planned for Season 4. Here are some of them.
Needle Little Help:
Flick tells Scootch about getting shots. That night, he has a nightmare, and he is shocked to find out that the next day, he has to get a shot himself. His friends try to come up with a way to help him realize that shots aren't so bad.
Notes:
- Scootch talks more than usual in this episode, but his vocabulary is still limited.
- Scootch's nightmare has scenes like these ones that I have sketched out:
Another Singin' Kid:
The kids are going to perform a singing concert for everyone in Lake Hoohaw. Flick is nervous about it, mainly because he doesn't sing very well. What will he do now?
Notes:
- This episode is paired with the above one.
- This is the first time we see Flick crying
- This episode idea comes from a dream I had that was like this:
I was Flick for some weird reason. It was announced that there was a singing concert on Lake Hoohaw that the kids were preparing for. While in PB&J's room, PB&J tried to help me improve my singing since, of course, I felt that I was a horrible singer.
The first day of practice came and I was nervous. I actually ended up singing perfectly until the very end where I sang off-key. I said that the practice was pretty good. Peanut then said that it was actually the concert. "What?? I thought this was practice, and you're telling me this was the real thing?!" I asked in shock. "Yeah, but--" Jelly started. "Forget it," I said. "I'm outta here."
I ran into the woods where I sat on a rock and decided to cry on a rock before I woke up (yes, my dreams are sometimes like that). The kids came to me and Jelly asked, "Flick, are you crying?" "Yeah. I'm crying. What are you going to do about it?" I replied sarcastically. Pinch said, "It's okay, Flick. Nobody noticed that you messed up." "Sure they did," I said, still sarcastically. "They have ears!"
That was when I woke up.
- Flick's sarcasm will be toned down due to it being extreme for the show.
Oodelay, Bikini Bottom:
Sandy has almost everyone in Bikini Bottom gathered into her treedome where she presents her newest invention--a new and improved version of the device that morphed SpongeBob and Squidward together in "SquidBob TentaclePants." She has everyone come inside to test it out. It does teleport them somewhere, but it still malfunctions. Instead of teleporting them to somewhere in Bikini Bottom, it teleports them right into Lake Hoohaw--a completely different dimension.
Mayor Jeff notices an octopus (Squidward) in the water. "Oh no. Not another sea monster" he says, referencing "The Thing That Almost Ate Hoohaw." He then relizes that it is, in fact, an octopus. The kids end up finding out about this and go with Mayor Jeff to get a closer look.
When they go inside Mayor Jeff's submarine and see the majority of Bikni Bottom's residents, they are at first scared to approach them. But the kids come to the conclusion that it would be best to give it a try rather than just avoid them and not bother to even find out who they are.
Fortunately, because the ever-prepared Sandy brought water helmets, the Binki Bottom residents are able to go onto the surface instead of staying in the water. Everyone is introduced. They all becomes friends and start having fun with each other. SpongeBob and Patrick are instant fans of the Noodle Dance, and SpongeBob tries to do all he can to get Squidward to do it.
But later, it turns out that there are still some citizens of Bikini Bottom left, one of which includes Plankton. Plankton has stolen the Krabby Patty formula and is making more Krabby Patties than you can count, making buckets of money from those of the Biknibottomites that are still there.
Sandy has to build a new teleportation device to get them back to Bikini Bottom. But the problem is, she doesn't have the right parts with her. The Snooties, as one would expect, have them, though. But how can everyone convince them to share their parts?
Notes:
- This is a movie-length idea.
- This is the first PB&J Otter crossover.
- SpongeBob and Patrick sleep in PB&J's old bed.
The Long, Long Wait:
Jelly sees a Limited Edition Commander Casserole and Lord Gravy Action Figure Set advertised on TV, and she really wants it. So, she sends in to have it delivered. The problem is, she is so anxious to get it that she litterally sits by the dock and waits...and waits...and waits... Will anything draw her away from there?
Notes:
- An annual Pompalope Festival plays in this episode.
- In one scene, a section of the audio from the song, "The Legend of Johnny Pompalope," can be heard.
Zit's No Big Deal:
Peanut looks in the bathroom mirror one day and notices that he has a zit on his face. He does whatever he can to hide it, but it becomes a bigger and bigger challenge to hide overtime. Can he get the courage to tell his parents about it before he goes crazy?
Notes:
- This is the first time any character is seen with acne.
- The title is a parody of the song, "It's No Big Deal," from "Munchy's No Big Deal."
- This episode is paired with the below one.
Peanut's Bad Habit:
Peanut has a bad habit of biting his nails, but it's getting worse and worse by the minute. Can anything help him learn to control his habit?
Notes:
- Peanut tells lies in this episode in a similar way that he did in "Bagpipe Blues."
- Peanut struggles to Noodle Dance, due to the fact that he's trying to cover his zit.

Sorry. I have a lot more ideas, but I have forgotten some of them, though one of my friends has saved a lot of them. I will add those missing ones once I am able to.

Mayor Jeff: "Ducking Out on Valentine's Day"
(The scene focuses in on Ernest, who appears to be punching some figures into a calculator. Ootsie and Bootsie pull up on a boat attached to a large freight vessel.)
Ootsie and Bootsie: Mr. Otter!
Ernest: (waving) Good morning, Ootsie! Good morning, Bootsie!
Ootsie: You're so right, Mr. Otter.
Bootsie: It is a good morning.
Ootsie: To do us a favor.
Bootsie: We want all our little friends to get our gigantic Valentines. (She indicates large boxes stamped with hearts. Ernest looks stunned.) But we're off on a luxury ski trip to Mount Poodle. So could you keep them here until the big Valentine picnic?
Ootsie: And then pass them out?
Ernest: Well, I'd be happy to.
Ootsie: (on a bone phone) Attention, all hands.
Bootsie: (also on a bone phone) Unload the Valentines! (a big hook unloads a single set of boxes out of the many)
Ernest: How do I know who gets what?
Ootsie: We put the names
Bootsie: on every box. Thank you, Mr. Otter!
Ootsie: Thanks a lot! (They speed away. Ernest is splashed.)
Ernest: Don't mention it.
(Scene change. Ernest is unloading the many Valentines.)
Peanut: Hi, Dad!
Flick: Hello, Mr. Otter.
Jelly: What's that stuff?
Ernest: Ootsie and Bootsie left their Valentines for me to pass out at the big picnic.
Jelly: Wow! These are gigantic.
Peanut: Wonder what's in 'em. Babbleberry candies, I hope.
Jelly: (holding up one of the Valentines, which are heart-shaped) Look, Peanut. Here's one with your name on it.
Peanut: And here's one for you, Jel.
Flick: Here's Munchy's. And Pinch's.
Jelly: Here's Butter's.
Peanut: Scootch's.
Flick: (grabbing and tossing aside many Valentines) Mine? Where's mine? Cheese and quackers, where is it?!
(Scene change. Flick and the others have apparently gone through numerous Valentines, but couldn't find Flick's.)
Peanut: I don't get it. There's gotta be a Valentine for you.
Flick: Huh. Right. There's "gotta" be. But we checked six times and there isn't.
Peanut: Sorry, Flick.
Flick: Hey, it's no skin off my beak. Who cares?
Jelly: You care.
Flick: Me? No way. Never! I'm glad I didn't get one. I don't like Valentines. (crosses his arms) Huh! (accidentally kicks against one of the boxes and starts hopping up and done, clutching his foot) Ouch! I gotta go. I'm late for my... foot doctor appointment.
Jelly: He's just pretending he doesn't want a Valentine.
Peanut: Yeah. And if the Snooties didn't give him one, we will. Come on.
Jelly: All right.
(Scene change. Focus in on the Otter family houseboat, where they're working on Valentines.)
Jelly: Butter, can you give me back my red crayon?
Butter: (giggles as she finishes her Valentine, then hands over the crayon)
Jelly: Thanks. I need this to write Flick's name on his Valentine.
Flick: Hey, you guys. What's up?
Peanut: Nothing.
Jelly: Yeah, nothing.
Flick: Are you sure?
Peanut and Jelly: Uh huh.
Flick: All that nothing you're making looks to me like Valentines.
Peanut: Well, maybe. Kind of.
Flick: Ya better not be making Valentines for me.
Jelly: How come?
Flick: (holding out his hand, closing his eyes and turning his head to the side) 'Cause I don't want any. Waste of paper, waste of paste, waste of doilies. Don't give me a Valentine. Ever.
Jelly: Maybe just a little one?
Flick: No. Tear it up. Throw it away. If you don't, I'll be mad at you past Hoohaw Halloween. (He stalks off.)
Peanut: He's just saying that.
Jelly: But do we give him one, or don't we?
(Slide wipe to Munchy, who is nibbling out wooden Valentines.)
Flick: Hey, Munch. What are you sinking your teeth into now?
Munchy: (holding a partially chewed Valentine) Uh, nothing.
Flick: (grabbing it) Let me see. It's a Valentine!
Munchy: (trying to grab it back) Maybe.
Flick: (letting go) Well, it'd better not be for me.
Munchy: (falling over because Flick suddenly let go) How come.
Flick: I don't like Valentines. (crossing his arms) They're for babies. Whatever you do, don't give me on.
Munchy: Well, okay. If that's what you don't want, that's what you won't get.
Flick: Good. That's what I want. (holding out his arms as if waving off the idea of Valentines) No Valentines.
(Scene change to Raccoon family houseboat. Pinch is taking some Valentine cookies out of the oven.)
Pinch: (singing) Will you be my Valentine? / I'll be yours and you'll be mine.
Flick: Hey! My beak just sneaked the smell of cookies!
Pinch: Valentine cookies. My mom's helping me make them for the big picnic tomorrow. (She and her mom hug.)
Flick: (waving his arms) Warning! Important warning! Ya bettern ot be making any for me.
Pinch: What did you say?
Flick: I said, don't give me cookie Valentines. (checking off on his fingers) Or paper Valentines, or wooden Valentines, Or any other kinda Valentines. (slams the door)
(Scene change. Mayor Jeff is giving direction to the Cranes, who are holding a large banner with a heart in their beaks.)
Mayor Jeff: Okay. Higher! Higher! (Flick peeks at the action from behind a bush.) That's perfect! Well, hello there, Flick. Did you come to help us get ready for the big picnic?
Flick: (folding his arms behind his back) Uh, no, Mayor Jeff. I, uh, can't. Gotta go..home. Right now. (dashes off)
Mayor Jeff: Well, be sure to come back tomorrow! This'll be the best Valentine's Day Lake Hoohaw has ever had. (The Cranes drop the banner on top of his head.)
(Scene change. Flick is at home in his bedroom, looking at himself in a handheld mirror.)
Flick: So, Flick, can you go to that picnic? No way. Not when everybody else'll get Valentines and I won't. Oh. So, tell me, what can I do? What?! (starts pacing) Need an idea. A brilliant idea. Maybe I should use my noodle. (stops pacing) Hey, you're right! I knew I could count on me. We'll do a Noodle Dance.
(He starts tapping his forehead and the Noodle Dance music starts. The Noodle Dance background appears.)
Noodle, noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Use your little ducky brain
Flick: We got it! I'll build a big, gigantic rain machine and rain on the picnic so they don't have one.
(In Flick's fantasy sequence, a rain-making machine flies overhead and douses everyone with rain. It knocks down the banner.)
Peanut and Pinch: Huh?! Ahhh! (They run off. End of fantasy sequence.)
Flick: But then nobody else would have any fun. Keep thinkin'. Maybe I could pretend to be sick. Then, I wouldn't have to go.
(He imagines himself with a compress on his head and a thermometer in his beak, all the way to the top.)
Mrs. Duck: (holding out a spoon of medicine) Here you go, Flick.
Flick: Bleh! (end sequence) Ugh. Sick is no fun. Maybe I could run away.
(He imagines himself on a train, at sunset, playing a harmonica, a small sack tied on a stick. In the distance, a wolf is shown howling.)
Flick: No. Mom would be sad. And it would be too lonely. The only Valentine I'd get would be from myself. (ding sound) Hey, that's it. Whoa! I could send myself some Valentines. Dozens. Hundreds. Woo-hoo!
(Slide-wipe to Flick's kitchen, where he's now at the table, making himself Valentines.)
Mrs. Duck: Hi, Flick. Ooh, you're making Valentines for all your friends. (hugging him) Aren't you thoughtful and sweet?
Flick: Uh, Mom, these aren't for my friends.
Mrs. Duck: Then who are they for?
Flick: W-well.. me.
Mrs. Duck: You're giving all those to yourself. But why?
Flick: Because I'm not gonna get any from anybody else.
Mrs. Duck: That's silly, Flick. Of course you'll get Valentines.
Flick: Not now. I talked to Peanut, I talked to Jelly, I talked to everybody. I told them I didn't want any Valentines.
Mrs. Duck: Flick, honey, it might have been better to tell your friends how you really felt.
Flick: Oh. That's too hard.
Mrs. Duck: Well, it is hard, Flick. But it sounds to me like not telling your friends how you feel is making you one miserable duck.
Flick: Yeah, you're right. After what I told everybody, the only Valentines I'll get are my own scribbly ones. Hmm.
Mrs. Duck: Well, cheer up. You can still go the Valentine picnic and have lots of fun.
Flick: Fun? Now? You're kidding, right?
Mrs. Duck: It's always more fun to give Valentines than to get them.
Flick: Even ones that are scribbly?
Mrs. Duck: Well, you'll find out tomorrow.
(Scene change to the next day. Mayor Jeff is standing in front of the banner.)
Mayor Jeff: I hereby declare that the Hoohaw Valentine's Day Picnic is about to begin. 1 2 3...
Mayor Jeff, Peanut, Butter and Jelly: Happy Valentine's Day! (all cheer)
Jelly: Hey!
Peanut: Hey, Flick.
Flick: (pulling out three Valentine cards) They're kinda scribbly. Go ahead, laugh at 'em. Happy Valentine's Day, Peanut. Happy Valentine's Day, Jelly and Butter.
Peanut: Thanks, Flick.
Jelly: Yeah, thank you.
Butter: 'ank you.
Flick: I know you won't give me any back because I asked you not to.
Peanut: Yeah, you did.
Flick: Well, I didn't really, really, exactly kinda mean it. But next year I won't do that, so you can give me Valentines then?
Jelly: (reaching behind her back) You won't have to wait till next year. Here. (Both she and Peanut present cards.) Happy Valentine's Day, Flick.
Peanut: Happy Valentine's Day, Flick.
Flick: Hmm? Wow. You made me Valentines after I told you not to.
Jelly: We really, really kinda sorta didn't believe you.
Peanut: We knew you'd really feel just as good about getting ours as we feel about getting yours.
Pinch: (approaching with her cookies) Happy Valentine's Day, Flick.
Flick: Wow, Pinch, thanks. You didn't believe me either?
Pinch: (shaking her head) Nope.
Munchy: Me neither.
Flick: Huh?
Munchy: Happy Valentine's Day.
Flick: Man, thanks. And here! I got Valentines for you guys, if you don't mind scribbly. (sound of horn honking)
Ootsie: Flick, we found it!
Flick: Huh?
Bootsie: Your Valentine!
Ootsie: It fell behind the thousand inch plasma screen TV on our limo boat. We came back early from our luxury ski trip
Bootsie: so we could be sure you got it.
(Ootsie pushes a button on the mini-car they're driving and a box unloads from a panel in the car.)
Ootsie and Bootsie: Happy Valentine's Day!
Flick: Thanks, guys. Am I lucky duck or what? Happy Valentine's Day right back at you. (hands them each Valentines)
Ootsie: These are great.
Bootsie: Scribbly is really in this year.
Jelly: Well, after all his worry, Flick got Valentines from everybody.
Peanut: And everybody got Valentines from Flick.
Jelly: But it sure woulda been easier if he hadn't tried to hide what he really wanted. You know, Flick, there's an old song that says it all.
Flick: Huh?
~~~ You Just Can't Hide Your Heart ~~~
[Jelly]
You can't keep the sun from risin'
You can't keep good friends apart
Like a breeze that blows, everybody knows
You just can't hide your heart
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick, Pinch, Ootsie and Bootsie]
You can't keep a creek from flowin'
You can't be somethin' that you're not
Ain't no doubt, you've gotta let you're feelings out
You know you just can't hide your heart
[Munchy]
You can't keep the wind from blowin', heh heh
[Pinch]
You can't keep a lid on a boilin' pot
[Peanut]
A little candle glow has gotta shine, you know
[Ootsie and Bootsie]
You just can't hide your heart
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick, Pinch, Ootsie and Bootsie]
You can't keep a creek from flowin'
You can't be somethin' that you're not
Ain't no doubt, you've gotta let you're feelings out
You know you just can't hide your heart.
(Scene change to the dock outside the Otter Family houseboat.)
Jelly: Ootsie and Bootsie's Valentine candy is delicious.
Peanut: Double delicious.
Butter: Yum yum.
Flick: (approaching, holding a long list) Hey, guys. Haven't finished your Valentine candy yet?
Peanut: Don't tell me you ate yours already.
Flick: Hours ago. Needed to get to work on this.
Peanut: What is it?
Flick: Your official reminder list. Keep it handy.
Peanut: (reading) "Flick wants birthday presents. Flick wants Hoohaw Hoo presents. Flick wants Hoohaw Halloween treats." (PB&J giggle.)
Jelly: Flick!
Flick: What? What, guys? Tell me, what?

A little candle glow has gotta shine, you know
[Ootsie and Bootsie]
You just can't hide your heart
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick, Pinch, Ootsie and Bootsie]
You can't keep a creek from flowin'
You can't be somethin' that you're not
Ain't no doubt, you've gotta let you're feelings out
You know you just can't hide your heart.
(Scene change to the dock outside the Otter Family houseboat.)
Jelly: Ootsie and Bootsie's Valentine candy is delicious.
Peanut: Double delicious.
Butter: Yum yum.
Flick: (approaching, holding a long list) Hey, guys. Haven't finished your Valentine candy yet?
Peanut: Don't tell me you ate yours already.
Flick: Hours ago. Needed to get to work on this.
Peanut: What is it?
Flick: Your official reminder list. Keep it handy.
Peanut: (reading) "Flick wants birthday presents. Flick wants Hoohaw Hoo presents. Flick wants Hoohaw Halloween treats." (PB&J giggle.)
Jelly: Flick!
Flick: What? What, guys? Tell me, what?

It's been a while
Wow. It's been a while since my last post here. Well, there's not much PB&J Otter news for you, but I've got a weird photo of Opal that I edited in Paint which you can see above. I removed her afro, just to see what she'd look like without it. I know it's not the best edit, but I don't have all that cool software like Photoshop, so try to cut me some slack.
In other news, I have a transcript for Ducking Out on Valentines Day that Agent0042 sent me via TV.com. So I'll upload it as soon as I can.

PB&J Otter Season 4 Fanfic Ideas
I, being struck with inspiration, came up with the idea to write some PB&J Otter scripts for my own episode ideas. With my ideas, we could have our own imaginary Season 4 of PB&J Otter. When I have scripts done and they are uploaded onto my Scribd account, I'll post the links to them. Here's what I've come up with so far:
Lights, Camera, Otter: The kids (minus Ootsie and Bootsie) decide to make their own movie when Mayor Jeff loses a Mallard Man film of is in his piles of junk. The problem is, the kids can't agree on what movie to make.
Notes:
- This is a double-length episode.
- We learn that Mallard Man movies exist.
- There are 4 songs in this episode, counting the 2 Noodle Dance segments.
- Most of the episode takes place in front of PB&J's house (not counting the scenes with the kids imagining their movie ideas).
Scootch and the Magic Tree: Scootch is looking around in the woods when he comes across a talking tree that offers to grant him 3 wishes. For one of those wishes, Scootch wishes he wasn't always destroying stuff. Everyone begins to enjoy the new Scootch, but then they start to miss the old Scootch.
Notes:
- This is inspired by a fake episode that is mentioned on various websites.
- During the credits, instead of the normal format, there is a montage of scenes with Scootch from past episodes.
- This is the first episode centered around Scootch.
- Scootch does the Noodle Dance by himself in this episode.
- This is a double-length episode.
I Pledge Your Otter: Peanut and Jelly are Otter Scouts. As Otter Scouts, they have to use hard work and teamwork when doing their scout tasks. Peanut and Jelly, however, aren't doing that.
Notes:
- This is paired with the episode below.
- This is the first time we see a large group of otters in the show.
- The Noodle Dance segment features a flashback to various scenes of Peanut and Jelly working together.
- A fake episode title inspired this episode.
Baby Butter's Bugs: Butter befriends a ladybug that she finds in the grass. But then she starts making more bug friends. So many, in fact, that the rest of the Otter family can't live in a bug infested house. But Butter doesn't want to part with her bug friends.
Notes:
- The cricket Jelly found in "Born to Chirp" reappears in this episode.
- A fake episode title inspired this.
More might come on the way, but for now, that's all I've come up with.

Jelly: "Hope Castle"
Mayor Jeff: And that's why every year, we take a holiday to honor the heroic Captain Gazpacho, finder and founder of Lake Hoohaw and builder of Fort Gazpacho. And as a constant reminder of our glorious past, this mighty fort still stands strong and proud. (He leans too hard against a wooden post. It falls over and so does he.) Ooh, uh, ooh. Well, mostly anyway.
Flick: Wow.
Peanut: That was a great tour, Mayor Jeff.
Flick: Thanks, Mayor Jeff. See ya'!
Jelly: See ya', Mayor Jeff.
Peanut: Wow, Fort Gazpacho is so cool.
Jelly: The coolest.
Ootsie: Are you kidding? It's all old and full of holes.
Bootsie: And no hot tub.
Ootsie and Bootsie: What's up with that?
Peanut: They didn't have hot tubs when Captain Gazpacho found Lake Hoohaw.
Jelly: Fort Gazpacho is over two hundred years old.
Munchy: That's older than my Dad.
Pinch: That's older than my Dad's favorite shirt.
Flick: Cheese and quackers, guys. That's practically forever!
(Everyone keeps walking along, but Jelly suddenly stops. There is a "ding" sound.)
Jelly: Wouldn't it be great to make something that lasts forever? Something that people would remember us by.
Bootsie: Our parents have already taken care of that. (She and Ootsie gesture towards something in the distance.)
Ootsie: Behold,
Ootsie and Bootsie: Mount Snootiemore! (A mountain with their faces in the style of Mount Rushmore is shown in the distance. Construction workers can be seen, hard at work on it.)
Ootsie: Oh, don't we look absolutely monumental?
Bootsie: Uh, oh no! Look, Ootsie. They made my nose too big!
Ootsie: Mine too! Whatever will we do? (They run away screaming.)
Peanut: So what could we make, Jelly?
Jelly: I bet if we Noodle Danced, we could think of something to make that would last forever.
Flick: How 'bout carving our faces in babbleberry pie.
Jelly: I don't think that would last forever, Flick.
Flick: I don't think it would last till dinner. It's my love of pie that'll last forever.
Peanut: I think we need to keep thinking then.
Jelly: We need to Noodle Dance.
Peanut: I'll noodle, but I won't dance.
Noodle, noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the Noodle Dance
(As usual, Peanut quickly joins in the dancing. Jelly gets an idea.)
Jelly: I got it! How 'bout a Sphinx?
Flick: Hey, who ya' sayin' stinks?
Jelly: No. A Sphinx.
Peanut: You mean one of those really old Egyptian statue thingies?
Jelly: Yeah.
(She and Peanut begin dancing like Egyptians. A song begins.)
~~~ Make it Last ~~~
[Jelly]
We can do it, something great
Make it last
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick and Pinch]
We can do it, just can't wait
Make it last
[Jelly]
Make it last till the seas run dry
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scootch]
Until the sands of time go by
[Jelly]
Make it last together
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scootch]
Forever, remember, make it last
[Peanut]
(I know, how 'bout a skyscraper?)
We can build it, something grand
Make it last
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick, Pinch]
We'll be proud to see it stand
Make it last
[Peanut]
Something sturdy, something high
All the way up to the sky
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick, Pinch]
Make it last together
Forever, remember, make it last!
[Munchy]
(Maybe we could make a giant dam!)
We can make it out of wood
Make it last
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick, Pinch]
Carve it, stack it, like we should
Make it last
[Munchy]
Strong as it can be
Hold the water, stop the sea
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick, Pinch]
Make it last together
Forever, remember, make it last!
Make it last!
(The song ends and Munchy expounds upon his dam idea.)
Munchy: A giant dam, made from a bazillion logs. That oughta last a while.
Flick: How we gonna get a bazillion logs?
Jelly: It doesn't have to be big and fancy for people to remember it.
(Butter is shown having constructed the start of a sandcastle from a pail.)
Butter: Tee hee hee hee. Tee hee hee hee.
Jelly: That's it! We'll make a sandcastle!
Flick: A sandcastle?! That's so dinky. Nobody's gonna come to see that.
Jelly: Yes, they will. We'll make it so big and cool that even Captain Gazpacho would be impressed. What do you say, ya'll? Wanna do it?
Peanut: Well, I don't know.
Munchy: I only work in wood.
Jelly: Come on. You guys can help us too!
Pinch: We could?
Flick: Yeah, we could, except we're gonna play hide-and-seek instead. You guys comin'?
Munchy: Yeah! ... Uh, no.
Peanut: Uh, we'll catch up with you, Flick.
Flick: Have it your way. But you don't know what you're missing.
(Everyone runs off except Munchy and PB&J.)
Jelly: We can play hide-and-seek anytime. But makin' a sandcastle that will last forever, now that's a really big deal!
Butter: (bringing over a bucket and shovel) Dig! Dig!
Jelly: Okay! Let's get our buckets and shovels and get to work.
(Slide wipe to new scene. Everyone has brought their bucket and shovels. The scene closes in on them.)
Munchy: You sure we shouldn't use wood? Sand might fall down or something.
Jelly: Not if you mix it right. And here comes the Lake Hoohaw mixing expert now!
Mayor Jeff: Oodelay, PB&J!
Jelly: Oodelay, Mayor Jeff! How do you mix the sand for a really great sandcastle?
Mayor Jeff: Sandcastles, mm? Now what was that secret Hoohaw sand recipe I cooked up when I was a kid? Oh yes, I remember now! Three parts sand,
Jelly: Three parts sand,
Mayor Jeff: two parts water, stir well and bake in the sun for two minutes. Or was that my babbleberry muffin recipe? Well, gotta go water my melons. Good luck, kids.
Jelly: Thanks, Mayor Jeff! I think it's just right.
Peanut: Now we gotta get some tools to make shapes with.
(Munchy grabs a small stick and starts nibbling on it.)
Peanut: Cool tool, Munch!
Munchy: Thanks! I'm good with wood. It's sand I'm not so sure about.
Jelly: This is so much fun. Look, Peanut, my tower's almost finished.
Peanut: That's great, Jelly. I'm putting a window in mine, see?
Munchy: Hey guys, what do you think of my tower?
Peanut: Well, Munch, it's, you know, a little crooked.
Munchy: Hmm.
(A song begins. In the song, Peanut and Jelly encourage Munchy to try again. As the song continues, he gains confidence and even joins in the song.)
~~~ Try, Try Again ~~~
[Peanut and Jelly]
If at first you don't succeed
Try again, try again
[Jelly]
Determination is all you need
So just try, try again
[Peanut]
Never tell yourself you can't
Give yourself another chance
[Peanut and Jelly]
So if at first you don't succeed
Just try, try again
[Munchy]
(I'm gonna try again!)
[Peanut, Jelly and Munchy]
If at first you fall on your face
Try again, try again
[Munchy]
Remember the tortoise won that race
And just try, try again
[Jelly]
If at first it all goes wrong
You can always sing this song
[Munchy]
So if at first you don't succeed
Just try, try again
[Peanut, Jelly and Munchy]
If at first you don't succeed
Just try, try again.
Butter: (wearing her pail on her head) Yeah! (giggles)
Munchy: Hey, check out my tower now, guys. I tried, tried again and I think I'm getting the hang of it.
Flick: (from offscreen) You're it, Pinch! You're it!
Pinch: I'm not it, you're it!
Munchy: Hey, watch it, watch it, my--
Scootch: Yahhhhh! (slams into the tower)
Munchy: --tower.
Scootch: Sorry, sorry, my fault.
Flick: Hey, that's not bad, for a start.
Pinch: And it sure looks like more fun than we're having.
Jelly: Wanna help?
Flick: Does a duck have webbed feet? (He picks up a pail and shovel.)
Pinch: Look at this pretty shell. Wouldn't it look great right here?
Jelly: (as a military theme plays) All right, everybody! Let's try it again and let's try it together!
~~~ All Together We Can Build It ~~~
Track 8, Playhouse Disney, Vol. 2
All together we can build it, build it, build it
Work together till we build it
A castle in the sand
All together we can make it, make it, make it
Work together till we make it
A castle that's so grand
I'll dig a tunnel
I'll pack the fort
We'll decorate with shells
Around the castle door
All together we can build it, build it, build it
Work together till we build it
A castle in the sand
All together we can make it, make it, make it
Work together till we make it
A castle that's so grand
I'll raise the tower
I'll build the hall
We'll put little turrets
Along the castle wall
All together we can build it, build it, build it
Work together till we build it
Our castle in the sand!
Jelly: Wow, it's great! All our castle needs now is a flag! (A blue feather flutters down from the sky. Jelly sticks it in.)
Peanut: And some brave knights to defend it. And I know just where to find 'em. (He goes to his room and gets them.) Perfect!
Jelly: Wow, we did it. We made the coolest thing since Fort Gazpacho.
Flick: Yeah, the coolest!
Butter: (peeking up from one of the walls) Cool!
Jelly: We'll call it Castle Forever.
Flick: Yeah! And defend it against wild creatures.
Jelly: Even if it means sacrificing our lives in some cruel and painful way. (silence, sound of crickets chirping) Okay. How about until lunchtime? (Others say "okay.") Long live Castle Forever!
Others: Long live Castle Forever! Hoo hoo! Yeah!
(Two storm clouds appear in the sky.)
Jelly: And from now on, citizens of Lake Hoohaw will come to our castle to remember the heroes who bravely built it. (A strong wind sends some leaves whipping past her.)
Munchy: Did you feel that wind? You don't think a storm is coming? (A raindrop falls on him, he gasps. Ootsie and Bootsie appear, holding umbrellas and a refined classical theme plays.)
Ootsie: What's that thing?
Jelly: Castle Forever.
Peanut: Soon to be a famous Lake Hoohaw landmark.
Bootsie: It's made out of sand!
Ootsie: It won't last two seconds if there's a storm.
Bootsie: You should have made it out of a mountain, like Mount Snootiemore. (She indicates it.) Then it would have lasted forever.
Ootsie: Oh no! My lips are too big!
Bootsie: Mine too!
Ootsie: Ugh. I don't want fat lips like that forever, Bootsie.
Bootsie: Me neither, Ootsie.
Ootsie and Bootsie: (running off) Daddy!!!
Peanut: A storm? This is bad.
Jelly: It's gonna wreck our castle.
Munchy: I knew we should have made it out of wood.
(The sound of thunder cracks in the sky. Dark clouds gather. The scene fades to black, indicating the end of the first half. The scene returns. The rain is starting to come down harder.)
Jelly: Maybe it's just gonna drizzle a little.
Peanut: Yeah, this is nothing.
(A strong wind blows and thunder cracks.)
Flick: Cheese and quackers, guys, get real! A big, giant storm's coming!
(Up in the Watchbird Tower, Connie Crane is observing everyone below. She spots the sandcastle.)
Connie: How beautiful!
Cap'n Crane: (who has binoculars focused on the distance) How dreadful!
Connie: Dreadful?
Cap'n Crane: The most dreadful thing I've ever seen, Connie!
Connie: You're gonna have to get some new lenses on those binoculars if you think that sandcastle looks dreadful. (twang on soundtrack)
Cap'n Crane: Sandcastle? What sandcastle? (He spots it.) Oh, Connie, I'm talking about those mean-lookin' storm clouds heading our way.
(The thunder cracks, a towering dark cloud rises and an ominous theme plays.)
Connie: Well, don't just stand there gapin'! Sound the Watchbird Alert!
Cap'n Crane: Good thinkin' Connie. Honk! Watchbird Alert! Watchbird Alert! Storm's a brewin'!
Munchy: Uh oh. The Watchbird Alert! A storm is coming! (shudders)
Butter: (placing the bucket over her head) Storm! Fun! Tee hee hee hee!
Flick: For you, maybe. But I'm gettin' inside, where it's warm and dry.
Pinch and Scootch: Me too.
(The three walk away. Munchy, however, walks over towards the sandcastle. The wind blows away the feather flag. Jelly grabs for it and misses.)
Jelly: Whoa!
Peanut: I think we'd better go too, Jel.
Jelly: What about Castle Forever? I don't think it's storm-proof.
(There's more loud thunder. The wind blows by again and all shudder and chatter.)
Peanut: Let's go inside and talk about it over hot cocoa.
(They race off. Inside, Opal pours them hot cocoa. Butter gets a bottle. Ernest watches as the rain patters on the window.)
Ernest: Looks like a real doozy, kids.
Opal: Oh, I'd better bring in the laundry.
Ernest: Last time we had a big storm, the lake rose up over the dock.
Munchy: Over the dock? That means... (gasps)
Munchy, Peanut and Jelly: Castle Forever will be underwater!
Butter: Oh.
Jelly: We can't let that happen. There's gotta be a way to save our castle!
Peanut: How?
Jelly: I know! With noodles!
Munchy: We're gonna save Castle Forever with noodles?
Jelly: Yeah! We just use our noodles to come up with a way. (picking up Baby Butter and getting off the bench) Let's Noodle Dance!
Peanut: I'll noodle, but no way am I dancing.
Noodle, noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Jelly: I've got it! (She walks to the kitchen counter and grabs a glass of water.) We put a big waterproof dome over our castle. That way, it'll last forever. Well?
Peanut: Great idea, Jelly. Only where are we gonna find a glass that big?
Jelly: Hmm. In Giant Land! Where everything is gigantic.
Peanut: Right. But we never could get there the last time we tried.
Jelly: Oh yeah, I forgot.
Ernest: (as Opal returns with a basket of laundry) Gotta run to the storeboat, dear. Need to pick up some plywood to nail over the windows.
Peanut: Wood over the windows?
Munchy: Sure, Peanut. Wood's much stronger than glass.
Peanut: How do you know that?
Munchy: I'm a beaver. I know everything about wood. (Ernest and Opal leave the room.) That's it! We can make Castle Forever so strong, the storm can't hurt it! With Munchy's new superstrong jiffy wood spray. It makes things wooden. Guaranteed to protect against any kind of weather.
Jelly: Good idea, Munchy, but I don't think there's such a thing as jiffy wood spray.
Munchy: (furrowing his eyebrow angrily) Well, there should be!
Peanut: I got it! We could move our castle to a safe place away from the storm. Only, I'm too young to drive a bulldozer.
Jelly: Then I guess we'd better use what we can find around the house. Now, let's see... (spotting an umbrella) Aha! Come on, guys. We've gotta save Castle Forever before it's too late.
(They exit the house with the supplies they've found.)
[Ernest]
(Hey, where ya'll going?)
[Jelly]
(We need to save our castle, Daddy.)
[Ernest]
(Okay, but the storm's closing in. You don't have much time.)
[Carmen Carter]
Lightning whips the skies
The wind begins to rise
We're racing with the hurricane
And bracing for a blow
As the thunder starts to burst
We prepare for the worst
We hope for the best 'cause we know
Into every life some rain must fall
[Backing Vocalists]
Rain must fall
[Carmen Carter]
But as dark clouds form
And the storm begins to brew
Hope springs eternal in us all
[Backing Vocalists]
Hope springs eternal
[Carmen Carter]
And our hope will carry us through
Storm clouds pass
Darkness never lasts
A brave new dawn will bring the day
When the sun will shine
But until that time
A ray of hope will light the way
Into every life, some rain must fall
[Backing Vocalists]
Rain must fall
[Carmen Carter]
But as dark clouds form
And the storm begins to brew
Hope springs eternal in us all
[Backing Vocalists]
Hope springs eternal
[Carmen Carter]
And our hope will carry us through.
(As the song ends, Jelly's umbrella blows away, high into the sky.)
Munchy: The storm's getting worse. Maybe we should panic.
Jelly: Not yet!
(Mean-looking lightning flashes in the sky. Jelly squeals.)
Ernest: Kids, come inside right now!
Munchy: Now can we panic?
Peanut: Come on, ya'll. We gotta go now.
(They run back to the Otter family houseboat. The sand on the castle begins to slide away and one of the knights falls over. The kids watch a storm from a window of their room. Opal opens the door and comes in.)
Jelly: Isn't there anything we can do to save our castle?
Opal: Sometimes there's only thing you can do and that's just wait and see what happens.
Jelly: That makes me sad.
Peanut: Me too.
Butter: Me thwee.
Opal: It's okay, to be sad. But, you know, sometimes outta the bad comes some good. And in a strange way, it makes you stronger.
Jelly: What good will come from the storm, Mama?
Opal: Can't say. You just have to look for the brighter side of things, that's all.
Peanut: (pointing) Hey, look! I see a little bright side already!
(The clouds part and the sun comes out. Scene change. Munchy and PB&J have gathered at the beach. There is nothing there.)
Munchy: Where's our castle? I'm sure this is where we left it.
Jelly: Here's our flag.
Munchy: And here's our buckets and shovels.
Flick: Hey, what happened to our castle?
Jelly: Castle's totally gone, Flick. The storm blew it away.
Peanut: Not to mention my best knights.
Ootsie: (from offscreen) See? We told you it wouldn't last through the storm.
Peanut and Jelly: Huh? (They turn to face the Snooties.)
Bootsie: Not like our monument.
(There is a loud rumbling. Mount Snootiemore crumbles and collapses in a pile of rubble. The only recognizable part remaining looks like... Baby Butter?)
Ootsie and Bootsie: (gasp) Daddy! (They run off.)
Peanut: You okay, Jel?
Jelly: It's not fair, Peanut. Castle Forever was supposed to last forever. Now it's nothing.
~~~ Nothing Lasts Forever ~~~
[Jelly]
Nothing lasts forever, that's what people say
When something you've been dreaming of
Just gets washed away
Nothing lasts forever, what am I supposed to do
When hopes and plans vanish in the sand
How do I make it through?
[Peanut]
At least we worked together
[Munchy]
We gave it our best shot
[Jelly]
Maybe when you lose something
You discover what you've got
[Peanut]
(You've got us, Jelly.)
[Jelly]
(Yeah, that's true. Thanks, Peanut.) [They hug.]
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing we can do
It's hard to know
When things just come and go
It's so hard to understand
When things just shift about like sand.
Munchy: So what do we do now?
Pinch: Play hide-and-seek?
Jelly: I don't feel much like doin' anything.
Butter: (who is building a new sandcastle) Tee hee hee hee.
Jelly: Hmm?
Peanut: I think Baby Butter's got the right idea.
Jelly: Yeah. It's like Mama said. Maybe we just need to look on the bright side. (picks up a shiny rock) Check out this cool pebble that the storm washed up.
(Scootch and Munchy start crawling along the beach, searching for treasures.)
Munchy: Wow. Maybe there's other stuff too. Check out this shell!
Jelly: That would look really cool on a sandcastle.
Flick: Cheese and quackers! You mean we're gonna do it all over again?
Jelly: Sure, why not?
Flick: Why not? We spent a whole day makin' the first one and the storm blew it over and--
Jelly: And now we can make an even better castle.
Peanut: But this time, we're gonna build it stronger. Yeah. Let's make the best castle ever!
Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Pinch and Scootch: All right!
Peanut: We can use this bottle cap.
Munchy: And this old seashell. It would make a really great, uh... really great... (Flick grabs it.) Huh?
Flick: Hmm. Secret hiding place! Every castle's gotta have a secret hiding place!
Jelly: And these leaves could be flags for castle towers.
Pinch: The only thing missing is a name.
Peanut: We could call it Castle Here Today, Gone Tomorrow.
Munchy: How 'bout Babbleberry Castle?
Pinch: Or Lake Hoohaw Castle?
Flick: Agh. Castle Cheese and Quackers.
Peanut, Jelly, Pinch and Munchy: Castle Cheese and Quackers?!
Munchy: Or what about Betty Lou Beaver Castle?
Flick: Munchy, that's your mom's name!
Munchy: I know. I love that name.
Jelly: Hmm. I know! How about Hope Castle?
Peanut: What made you think up that name, Jel?
Jelly: Well, I just hope this castle stays around longer than the last one! (Everyone laughs.)
Carmen Carter: Hope springs eternal in us all.
Backing Vocalists: Hope springs eternal.
Carmen Carter: And our hope will carry us through.
(During the closing credits, an instrumental of "Try, Try Again" plays.)

Well, mostly anyway.
Flick: Wow.
Peanut: That was a great tour, Mayor Jeff.
Flick: Thanks, Mayor Jeff. See ya'!
Jelly: See ya', Mayor Jeff.
Peanut: Wow, Fort Gazpacho is so cool.
Jelly: The coolest.
Ootsie: Are you kidding? It's all old and full of holes.
Bootsie: And no hot tub.
Ootsie and Bootsie: What's up with that?
Peanut: They didn't have hot tubs when Captain Gazpacho found Lake Hoohaw.
Jelly: Fort Gazpacho is over two hundred years old.
Munchy: That's older than my Dad.
Pinch: That's older than my Dad's favorite shirt.
Flick: Cheese and quackers, guys. That's practically forever!
(Everyone keeps walking along, but Jelly suddenly stops. There is a "ding" sound.)
Jelly: Wouldn't it be great to make something that lasts forever? Something that people would remember us by.
Bootsie: Our parents have already taken care of that. (She and Ootsie gesture towards something in the distance.)
Ootsie: Behold,
Ootsie and Bootsie: Mount Snootiemore! (A mountain with their faces in the style of Mount Rushmore is shown in the distance. Construction workers can be seen, hard at work on it.)
Ootsie: Oh, don't we look absolutely monumental?
Bootsie: Uh, oh no! Look, Ootsie. They made my nose too big!
Ootsie: Mine too! Whatever will we do? (They run away screaming.)
Peanut: So what could we make, Jelly?
Jelly: I bet if we Noodle Danced, we could think of something to make that would last forever.
Flick: How 'bout carving our faces in babbleberry pie.
Jelly: I don't think that would last forever, Flick.
Flick: I don't think it would last till dinner. It's my love of pie that'll last forever.
Peanut: I think we need to keep thinking then.
Jelly: We need to Noodle Dance.
Peanut: I'll noodle, but I won't dance.
Noodle, noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the Noodle Dance
(As usual, Peanut quickly joins in the dancing. Jelly gets an idea.)
Jelly: I got it! How 'bout a Sphinx?
Flick: Hey, who ya' sayin' stinks?
Jelly: No. A Sphinx.
Peanut: You mean one of those really old Egyptian statue thingies?
Jelly: Yeah.
(She and Peanut begin dancing like Egyptians. A song begins.)
~~~ Make it Last ~~~
[Jelly]
We can do it, something great
Make it last
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick and Pinch]
We can do it, just can't wait
Make it last
[Jelly]
Make it last till the seas run dry
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scootch]
Until the sands of time go by
[Jelly]
Make it last together
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Munchy, Flick, Pinch and Scootch]
Forever, remember, make it last
[Peanut]
(I know, how 'bout a skyscraper?)
We can build it, something grand
Make it last
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick, Pinch]
We'll be proud to see it stand
Make it last
[Peanut]
Something sturdy, something high
All the way up to the sky
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick, Pinch]
Make it last together
Forever, remember, make it last!
[Munchy]
(Maybe we could make a giant dam!)
We can make it out of wood
Make it last
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick, Pinch]
Carve it, stack it, like we should
Make it last
[Munchy]
Strong as it can be
Hold the water, stop the sea
[Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Flick, Pinch]
Make it last together
Forever, remember, make it last!
Make it last!
(The song ends and Munchy expounds upon his dam idea.)
Munchy: A giant dam, made from a bazillion logs. That oughta last a while.
Flick: How we gonna get a bazillion logs?
Jelly: It doesn't have to be big and fancy for people to remember it.
(Butter is shown having constructed the start of a sandcastle from a pail.)
Butter: Tee hee hee hee. Tee hee hee hee.
Jelly: That's it! We'll make a sandcastle!
Flick: A sandcastle?! That's so dinky. Nobody's gonna come to see that.
Jelly: Yes, they will. We'll make it so big and cool that even Captain Gazpacho would be impressed. What do you say, ya'll? Wanna do it?
Peanut: Well, I don't know.
Munchy: I only work in wood.
Jelly: Come on. You guys can help us too!
Pinch: We could?
Flick: Yeah, we could, except we're gonna play hide-and-seek instead. You guys comin'?
Munchy: Yeah! ... Uh, no.
Peanut: Uh, we'll catch up with you, Flick.
Flick: Have it your way. But you don't know what you're missing.
(Everyone runs off except Munchy and PB&J.)
Jelly: We can play hide-and-seek anytime. But makin' a sandcastle that will last forever, now that's a really big deal!
Butter: (bringing over a bucket and shovel) Dig! Dig!
Jelly: Okay! Let's get our buckets and shovels and get to work.
(Slide wipe to new scene. Everyone has brought their bucket and shovels. The scene closes in on them.)
Munchy: You sure we shouldn't use wood? Sand might fall down or something.
Jelly: Not if you mix it right. And here comes the Lake Hoohaw mixing expert now!
Mayor Jeff: Oodelay, PB&J!
Jelly: Oodelay, Mayor Jeff! How do you mix the sand for a really great sandcastle?
Mayor Jeff: Sandcastles, mm? Now what was that secret Hoohaw sand recipe I cooked up when I was a kid? Oh yes, I remember now! Three parts sand,
Jelly: Three parts sand,
Mayor Jeff: two parts water, stir well and bake in the sun for two minutes. Or was that my babbleberry muffin recipe? Well, gotta go water my melons. Good luck, kids.
Jelly: Thanks, Mayor Jeff! I think it's just right.
Peanut: Now we gotta get some tools to make shapes with.
(Munchy grabs a small stick and starts nibbling on it.)
Peanut: Cool tool, Munch!
Munchy: Thanks! I'm good with wood. It's sand I'm not so sure about.
Jelly: This is so much fun. Look, Peanut, my tower's almost finished.
Peanut: That's great, Jelly. I'm putting a window in mine, see?
Munchy: Hey guys, what do you think of my tower?
Peanut: Well, Munch, it's, you know, a little crooked.
Munchy: Hmm.
(A song begins. In the song, Peanut and Jelly encourage Munchy to try again. As the song continues, he gains confidence and even joins in the song.)
~~~ Try, Try Again ~~~
[Peanut and Jelly]
If at first you don't succeed
Try again, try again
[Jelly]
Determination is all you need
So just try, try again
[Peanut]
Never tell yourself you can't
Give yourself another chance
[Peanut and Jelly]
So if at first you don't succeed
Just try, try again
[Munchy]
(I'm gonna try again!)
[Peanut, Jelly and Munchy]
If at first you fall on your face
Try again, try again
[Munchy]
Remember the tortoise won that race
And just try, try again
[Jelly]
If at first it all goes wrong
You can always sing this song
[Munchy]
So if at first you don't succeed
Just try, try again
[Peanut, Jelly and Munchy]
If at first you don't succeed
Just try, try again.
Butter: (wearing her pail on her head) Yeah! (giggles)
Munchy: Hey, check out my tower now, guys. I tried, tried again and I think I'm getting the hang of it.
Flick: (from offscreen) You're it, Pinch! You're it!
Pinch: I'm not it, you're it!
Munchy: Hey, watch it, watch it, my--
Scootch: Yahhhhh! (slams into the tower)
Munchy: --tower.
Scootch: Sorry, sorry, my fault.
Flick: Hey, that's not bad, for a start.
Pinch: And it sure looks like more fun than we're having.
Jelly: Wanna help?
Flick: Does a duck have webbed feet? (He picks up a pail and shovel.)
Pinch: Look at this pretty shell. Wouldn't it look great right here?
Jelly: (as a military theme plays) All right, everybody! Let's try it again and let's try it together!
~~~ All Together We Can Build It ~~~
Track 8, Playhouse Disney, Vol. 2
All together we can build it, build it, build it
Work together till we build it
A castle in the sand
All together we can make it, make it, make it
Work together till we make it
A castle that's so grand
I'll dig a tunnel
I'll pack the fort
We'll decorate with shells
Around the castle door
All together we can build it, build it, build it
Work together till we build it
A castle in the sand
All together we can make it, make it, make it
Work together till we make it
A castle that's so grand
I'll raise the tower
I'll build the hall
We'll put little turrets
Along the castle wall
All together we can build it, build it, build it
Work together till we build it
Our castle in the sand!
Jelly: Wow, it's great! All our castle needs now is a flag! (A blue feather flutters down from the sky. Jelly sticks it in.)
Peanut: And some brave knights to defend it. And I know just where to find 'em. (He goes to his room and gets them.) Perfect!
Jelly: Wow, we did it. We made the coolest thing since Fort Gazpacho.
Flick: Yeah, the coolest!
Butter: (peeking up from one of the walls) Cool!
Jelly: We'll call it Castle Forever.
Flick: Yeah! And defend it against wild creatures.
Jelly: Even if it means sacrificing our lives in some cruel and painful way. (silence, sound of crickets chirping) Okay. How about until lunchtime? (Others say "okay.") Long live Castle Forever!
Others: Long live Castle Forever! Hoo hoo! Yeah!
(Two storm clouds appear in the sky.)
Jelly: And from now on, citizens of Lake Hoohaw will come to our castle to remember the heroes who bravely built it. (A strong wind sends some leaves whipping past her.)
Munchy: Did you feel that wind? You don't think a storm is coming? (A raindrop falls on him, he gasps. Ootsie and Bootsie appear, holding umbrellas and a refined classical theme plays.)
Ootsie: What's that thing?
Jelly: Castle Forever.
Peanut: Soon to be a famous Lake Hoohaw landmark.
Bootsie: It's made out of sand!
Ootsie: It won't last two seconds if there's a storm.
Bootsie: You should have made it out of a mountain, like Mount Snootiemore. (She indicates it.) Then it would have lasted forever.
Ootsie: Oh no! My lips are too big!
Bootsie: Mine too!
Ootsie: Ugh. I don't want fat lips like that forever, Bootsie.
Bootsie: Me neither, Ootsie.
Ootsie and Bootsie: (running off) Daddy!!!
Peanut: A storm? This is bad.
Jelly: It's gonna wreck our castle.
Munchy: I knew we should have made it out of wood.
(The sound of thunder cracks in the sky. Dark clouds gather. The scene fades to black, indicating the end of the first half. The scene returns. The rain is starting to come down harder.)
Jelly: Maybe it's just gonna drizzle a little.
Peanut: Yeah, this is nothing.
(A strong wind blows and thunder cracks.)
Flick: Cheese and quackers, guys, get real! A big, giant storm's coming!
(Up in the Watchbird Tower, Connie Crane is observing everyone below. She spots the sandcastle.)
Connie: How beautiful!
Cap'n Crane: (who has binoculars focused on the distance) How dreadful!
Connie: Dreadful?
Cap'n Crane: The most dreadful thing I've ever seen, Connie!
Connie: You're gonna have to get some new lenses on those binoculars if you think that sandcastle looks dreadful. (twang on soundtrack)
Cap'n Crane: Sandcastle? What sandcastle? (He spots it.) Oh, Connie, I'm talking about those mean-lookin' storm clouds heading our way.
(The thunder cracks, a towering dark cloud rises and an ominous theme plays.)
Connie: Well, don't just stand there gapin'! Sound the Watchbird Alert!
Cap'n Crane: Good thinkin' Connie. Honk! Watchbird Alert! Watchbird Alert! Storm's a brewin'!
Munchy: Uh oh. The Watchbird Alert! A storm is coming! (shudders)
Butter: (placing the bucket over her head) Storm! Fun! Tee hee hee hee!
Flick: For you, maybe. But I'm gettin' inside, where it's warm and dry.
Pinch and Scootch: Me too.
(The three walk away. Munchy, however, walks over towards the sandcastle. The wind blows away the feather flag. Jelly grabs for it and misses.)
Jelly: Whoa!
Peanut: I think we'd better go too, Jel.
Jelly: What about Castle Forever? I don't think it's storm-proof.
(There's more loud thunder. The wind blows by again and all shudder and chatter.)
Peanut: Let's go inside and talk about it over hot cocoa.
(They race off. Inside, Opal pours them hot cocoa. Butter gets a bottle. Ernest watches as the rain patters on the window.)
Ernest: Looks like a real doozy, kids.
Opal: Oh, I'd better bring in the laundry.
Ernest: Last time we had a big storm, the lake rose up over the dock.
Munchy: Over the dock? That means... (gasps)
Munchy, Peanut and Jelly: Castle Forever will be underwater!
Butter: Oh.
Jelly: We can't let that happen. There's gotta be a way to save our castle!
Peanut: How?
Jelly: I know! With noodles!
Munchy: We're gonna save Castle Forever with noodles?
Jelly: Yeah! We just use our noodles to come up with a way. (picking up Baby Butter and getting off the bench) Let's Noodle Dance!
Peanut: I'll noodle, but no way am I dancing.
Noodle, noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Jelly: I've got it! (She walks to the kitchen counter and grabs a glass of water.) We put a big waterproof dome over our castle. That way, it'll last forever. Well?
Peanut: Great idea, Jelly. Only where are we gonna find a glass that big?
Jelly: Hmm. In Giant Land! Where everything is gigantic.
Peanut: Right. But we never could get there the last time we tried.
Jelly: Oh yeah, I forgot.
Ernest: (as Opal returns with a basket of laundry) Gotta run to the storeboat, dear. Need to pick up some plywood to nail over the windows.
Peanut: Wood over the windows?
Munchy: Sure, Peanut. Wood's much stronger than glass.
Peanut: How do you know that?
Munchy: I'm a beaver. I know everything about wood. (Ernest and Opal leave the room.) That's it! We can make Castle Forever so strong, the storm can't hurt it! With Munchy's new superstrong jiffy wood spray. It makes things wooden. Guaranteed to protect against any kind of weather.
Jelly: Good idea, Munchy, but I don't think there's such a thing as jiffy wood spray.
Munchy: (furrowing his eyebrow angrily) Well, there should be!
Peanut: I got it! We could move our castle to a safe place away from the storm. Only, I'm too young to drive a bulldozer.
Jelly: Then I guess we'd better use what we can find around the house. Now, let's see... (spotting an umbrella) Aha! Come on, guys. We've gotta save Castle Forever before it's too late.
(They exit the house with the supplies they've found.)
[Ernest]
(Hey, where ya'll going?)
[Jelly]
(We need to save our castle, Daddy.)
[Ernest]
(Okay, but the storm's closing in. You don't have much time.)
[Carmen Carter]
Lightning whips the skies
The wind begins to rise
We're racing with the hurricane
And bracing for a blow
As the thunder starts to burst
We prepare for the worst
We hope for the best 'cause we know
Into every life some rain must fall
[Backing Vocalists]
Rain must fall
[Carmen Carter]
But as dark clouds form
And the storm begins to brew
Hope springs eternal in us all
[Backing Vocalists]
Hope springs eternal
[Carmen Carter]
And our hope will carry us through
Storm clouds pass
Darkness never lasts
A brave new dawn will bring the day
When the sun will shine
But until that time
A ray of hope will light the way
Into every life, some rain must fall
[Backing Vocalists]
Rain must fall
[Carmen Carter]
But as dark clouds form
And the storm begins to brew
Hope springs eternal in us all
[Backing Vocalists]
Hope springs eternal
[Carmen Carter]
And our hope will carry us through.
(As the song ends, Jelly's umbrella blows away, high into the sky.)
Munchy: The storm's getting worse. Maybe we should panic.
Jelly: Not yet!
(Mean-looking lightning flashes in the sky. Jelly squeals.)
Ernest: Kids, come inside right now!
Munchy: Now can we panic?
Peanut: Come on, ya'll. We gotta go now.
(They run back to the Otter family houseboat. The sand on the castle begins to slide away and one of the knights falls over. The kids watch a storm from a window of their room. Opal opens the door and comes in.)
Jelly: Isn't there anything we can do to save our castle?
Opal: Sometimes there's only thing you can do and that's just wait and see what happens.
Jelly: That makes me sad.
Peanut: Me too.
Butter: Me thwee.
Opal: It's okay, to be sad. But, you know, sometimes outta the bad comes some good. And in a strange way, it makes you stronger.
Jelly: What good will come from the storm, Mama?
Opal: Can't say. You just have to look for the brighter side of things, that's all.
Peanut: (pointing) Hey, look! I see a little bright side already!
(The clouds part and the sun comes out. Scene change. Munchy and PB&J have gathered at the beach. There is nothing there.)
Munchy: Where's our castle? I'm sure this is where we left it.
Jelly: Here's our flag.
Munchy: And here's our buckets and shovels.
Flick: Hey, what happened to our castle?
Jelly: Castle's totally gone, Flick. The storm blew it away.
Peanut: Not to mention my best knights.
Ootsie: (from offscreen) See? We told you it wouldn't last through the storm.
Peanut and Jelly: Huh? (They turn to face the Snooties.)
Bootsie: Not like our monument.
(There is a loud rumbling. Mount Snootiemore crumbles and collapses in a pile of rubble. The only recognizable part remaining looks like... Baby Butter?)
Ootsie and Bootsie: (gasp) Daddy! (They run off.)
Peanut: You okay, Jel?
Jelly: It's not fair, Peanut. Castle Forever was supposed to last forever. Now it's nothing.
~~~ Nothing Lasts Forever ~~~
[Jelly]
Nothing lasts forever, that's what people say
When something you've been dreaming of
Just gets washed away
Nothing lasts forever, what am I supposed to do
When hopes and plans vanish in the sand
How do I make it through?
[Peanut]
At least we worked together
[Munchy]
We gave it our best shot
[Jelly]
Maybe when you lose something
You discover what you've got
[Peanut]
(You've got us, Jelly.)
[Jelly]
(Yeah, that's true. Thanks, Peanut.) [They hug.]
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing we can do
It's hard to know
When things just come and go
It's so hard to understand
When things just shift about like sand.
Munchy: So what do we do now?
Pinch: Play hide-and-seek?
Jelly: I don't feel much like doin' anything.
Butter: (who is building a new sandcastle) Tee hee hee hee.
Jelly: Hmm?
Peanut: I think Baby Butter's got the right idea.
Jelly: Yeah. It's like Mama said. Maybe we just need to look on the bright side. (picks up a shiny rock) Check out this cool pebble that the storm washed up.
(Scootch and Munchy start crawling along the beach, searching for treasures.)
Munchy: Wow. Maybe there's other stuff too. Check out this shell!
Jelly: That would look really cool on a sandcastle.
Flick: Cheese and quackers! You mean we're gonna do it all over again?
Jelly: Sure, why not?
Flick: Why not? We spent a whole day makin' the first one and the storm blew it over and--
Jelly: And now we can make an even better castle.
Peanut: But this time, we're gonna build it stronger. Yeah. Let's make the best castle ever!
Peanut, Jelly, Munchy, Pinch and Scootch: All right!
Peanut: We can use this bottle cap.
Munchy: And this old seashell. It would make a really great, uh... really great... (Flick grabs it.) Huh?
Flick: Hmm. Secret hiding place! Every castle's gotta have a secret hiding place!
Jelly: And these leaves could be flags for castle towers.
Pinch: The only thing missing is a name.
Peanut: We could call it Castle Here Today, Gone Tomorrow.
Munchy: How 'bout Babbleberry Castle?
Pinch: Or Lake Hoohaw Castle?
Flick: Agh. Castle Cheese and Quackers.
Peanut, Jelly, Pinch and Munchy: Castle Cheese and Quackers?!
Munchy: Or what about Betty Lou Beaver Castle?
Flick: Munchy, that's your mom's name!
Munchy: I know. I love that name.
Jelly: Hmm. I know! How about Hope Castle?
Peanut: What made you think up that name, Jel?
Jelly: Well, I just hope this castle stays around longer than the last one! (Everyone laughs.)
Carmen Carter: Hope springs eternal in us all.
Backing Vocalists: Hope springs eternal.
Carmen Carter: And our hope will carry us through.
(During the closing credits, an instrumental of "Try, Try Again" plays.)

Transcript - Follow Your Nose
Agent0042 has sent me another transcript. Thanks!
"Follow Your Nose"
Written and Story Edited by Eric Weiner
Songs by Fred Newman and Dan Sawyer
Transcribed by Agent0042
(Agent0042: How can Eric Weiner have written something like this and then go and create something like "Dora the Explorer"? Anyway, in this very special double-length episode, created in partnership with the American Foundation for the Blind, the Otters and Flick meet a family of moles who have low vision and read using Braille. They learn how to use their other senses to get around. This episode features two songs. The first of them was featured on one of the Playhouse Disney albums, though I like the second song better. I mean, come on, it's a rock song! That's pretty cool. Anyway, enjoy the transcript. This one was a bit rough because my recording wasn't very great-- I did the best I could, but I can't guarantee that there aren't small portions that are inaccurate.)

(all giggle)
Molly: Hey, Mama, when are we gonna stop for lunch?
Edward: Yeah, I'm gettin' hungry.
Mr. Mole: Let me check the time. Almost noon. Time for our picnic lunch.
Edward, Molly and Nosey: Yay!
Mrs. Mole: You kids go and play. We'll call you when we're ready.
Edward, Molly and Nosey: Okay!
Mrs. Mole: Stay out of trouble.
Edward, Molly and Nosey: Bye, Mama!
Jelly: This basket's kinda heavy.
Peanut: I know how we can make it lighter.
Peanut and Jelly: Let's eat!
Butter: Yay!
Jelly: Wonder what Mama packed for us.
Peanut: Yeah, now we can look.
(Flick pops up from behind the picnic basket.)
Flick: Surprise! (The others scream in surprise.)
Peanut: Flick, what are you doing here?
Flick: I can smell babbleberry pie a mile away.
Flick, Peanut and Jelly: Mmm, babbleberry pie.
Flick: My mouth is watering. Let's eat.
Butter: Yeah!
Peanut: Thanks, Butter.
Jelly: Babbleberry pie.
Flick: Uh oh! We'd better get out of here!
Peanut: What is it? What do you see?
Peanut and Jelly: Huh?
Peanut: It's a door.
Jelly: I've seen doors like that all over the forest.
Flick: Yeah, but do you know who lives behind those doors?
Jelly: I give up. Who?
Flick: Ah, cheese and quackers. Don't you know about moles?
Peanut: Sure we do. Dad's got a big one right on the back of his--
Flick: No, not that kind of mole. I'm talkin' about real moles.
Peanut and Jelly: Real moles?!
Flick: Strange creatures that dig dark tunnels under the earth. They're martial arts experts and they carry these numchucky stick weapon thingies!
Peanut: Now where did you hear that?
Jelly: Yeah. Who says?
Flick: Uh, everybody. Moles wear these dark glasses. That proves they're hiding something.
Jelly: No it doesn't.
Flick: And get this-- moles can't stand ducks. Or otters. (Butter starts crying.)
Peanut: Don't worry, Butter. Flick's just making up stories.
Jelly: Yeah, Flick. How come we've never seen one of these strange mole creatures of yours.
Flick: That's the thing. They'll hear you.
Jelly: Who?
Flick: Undergrounders. They live down under the ground.
Jelly: Uh uh.
Flick: Uh huh. Come on! We gotta get outta here before the moles find us and take us with their numchucky sticks! (He starts to run off, but notices that PB&J aren't. He gasps.) What are you doing?!
Jelly: We wanna see one of those moles.
Flick: Yeah, but I just finished telling ya'--
Jelly: Yeah, but I wanna decide for myself.
Flick: Oh!
Jelly: Hey, look, there's another door.
Edward: Nosey?!
Molly: Nosey, stay where you are! Nosey!
Flick: Moles aboard. We gotta get out of here! PB&J?!
Peanut: I wanna meet one of them.
Jelly: Let go! We're staying!
(All talk over each other. They don't realize that Butter has wandered away and met Nosey.)
Nosey: Hi!
Butter: Hi!
Nosey: Hi!
Butter: Hi! (They giggle and chatter.)
Flick: Well, I'm outta here. If you three otters wanna stay around and risk a mole attack-- (gasps) It's-- it's-- it's an undergrounder! Look, he's stealing our pie. Catch him! Catch him!
Jelly: Flick, wait! Slow down!
Flick: I'm not scared of him. He's a thief! He's got our pie!
Molly: Uh oh.
Edward: Come on.
(Everyone screams and shouts at each other.)
Butter: No!
Edward: Nosey.
Flick: Wha'?!
Edward: It's okay, Nosey.
Flick: What did I tell ya'?! Numchucks!
Edward: What's goin' on?
Flick: That little undergrounder stole our babbleberry pie.
Edward: Nosey would never steal anything.
Butter: No no no! No no!
Jelly: Flick Duck, hold your feathers. Um, my name is Jelly. Jelly Otter.
Molly: I'm Molly Mole. That's Edward. And that's my brother, Nosey.
Jelly: Molly, this is gonna sound crazy, but my friend Flick says you use those canes for martial arts. Uh, that's not true, right!
(Edward uses his cane to perform a series of mock-martial arts maneuevers. Flick screams in fear.)
Molly: Cut it out, Edward. We just use these to feel around in front of us so we know what's there.
Peanut: Why can't you just see what's there?
Flick: Because they're undergrounders!
Molly: Oh. 'Cause we can't see too well.
Peanut: You mean you can't see anything at all?
Molly: Well, a little. We can tell if it's really bright out. That's why we wear these dark glasses. The bright sun hurts our eyes.
Peanut and Jelly: Flick!
Flick: (chuckles nervously) Okay. But that little undergrounder took our pie. I mean, what do you think, Butter gave it to him?
Butter: Nosey! (The two giggle and cuddle affectionately.)
Peanut, Jelly, Edward and Molly: Awwww.
Flick: Okay, I was wrong. Can't a duck make a mistake?
Peanut: We're very sorry.
Flick: Okay, okay, me too. I keep tellin' 'em not to believe a word I say.
Edward: That's okay.
Flick: Look, Peanut, Bucky Spacebeaver!
Edward: What? You know Bucky?
Peanut: We've got the new issue right here.
Edward: Master Command, do you read me? Asteroids approaching!
Flick: Only Bucky Spacebeaver can save us now. Hey, how do you read this thing anyway?
Peanut: Yeah, what are all these little bumps?
Edward: It's called Braille. You use it when you can't see very well. It's kinda like a secret code.
Peanut, Jelly and Flick: Whoa!
Jelly: Hey, excuse me, Spacebeavers, but where did Butter go?
Molly: Yeah. And where's Nosey?
Peanut: They're gone!
Edward: Nosey doesn't know his way around out here.
Molly: We gotta find them!
(Everyone starts calling out Nosey and Butter's names, hoping to get their attention. Nosey and Butter are off happily playing on their own and eating the pie.)
Jelly: Peanut, I'm getting worried.
Flick: Huh? Ah, cheese and quackers! Wait! Finding them is gonna be a piece of pie! Look! (He indicates a trail of pie crumbs.)
Peanut: Hey, look, there's a whole trail of crumbs!
Jelly: Come on!
(They follow the trail. But a crow appears and eats the crumbs.)
Crow: What a tasty trail of crumbs. Mmm mm! Well, see ya'! Caw caw caw!
Flick: So much for our trail.
Peanut: Now what? (They all start shouting out again.)
Flick: Now what?
Peanut: So we can't follow a trail of crumbs if there aren't any crumbs.
Edward: Oh, yes we can.
Others: Huh?
Edward: All ya' gotta do is follow your nose.
Jelly: Hey, good thinking.
Molly: My brother once won a sniffing contest.
Peanut: Hey, I smell babbleberries!
Edward: This way!
Flick: This never woulda happened if I'd eaten that pie.
(They find Butter and Nosey and cheer.)
Edward: Oh wow. Oh, thank goodness!
Flick: Oh no!
Peanut and Jelly, Edward and Molly: What?
Flick: They ate all the pie! I think I'm gonna cry. (burps, everyone giggles)
Mrs. Mole: Edward! Molly! Nosey!
Edward: We're over here, ma!
Molly: Oh, I've got an idea. Don't go away, anyone! ... ... Mom says it's okay for you to come to our picnic. She baked clamberry cookies for dessert.
Flick: Clamberry cookies?! Oh, yum!
Peanut: Hey, Jelly, isn't that great? Jelly?
Jelly: You want us to go underground? Oh, uh, well, I'd like to, but, uh, I kinda gotta go. My mama doesn't like if we're gone too long.
Molly: Oh, okay.
Peanut: Jelly, why are you saying that?
Jelly: I'll tell you later.
Flick: Does this mean I don't get any clamberry cookies?
Molly: Well, it was nice to meet you.
Peanut, Jelly and Flick: Bye!
Edward: Come on, Molly, let's go.
Jelly: It's just that I'm kind of, sorta, really, scared of the dark.
Flick: What did you say?!
Jelly: I'm scared of the dark!
Molly: What? Why would anybody be scared of the dark?
Jelly: Well, how would I find my way around down there?
Molly: It's not so hard. You use your nose and your hands and your ears.
Peanut: Yeah. Just like we found Butter and Nosey.
Molly: Here, I'll show you! You ever play Follow the Leader?
Jelly: Uh huh.
Molly: Well, this game's called Following the Cave. Hey, you can play. I got one. Now, Jelly, take my hand. Now, what you do is you just kinda swing back and forth real easy and make sure there's nothing in front of you. There ya' go.
Jelly: Am I gonna bump into somethin'?
Molly: Don't worry. You'll feel it before ya' do.
Jelly: Nothing... nothing... Cave
(All cheer for Jelly.)
Edward: Use your ears Jelly.
Jelly: Clamberry Creek!
Edward: That-a-way.
Jelly: That sounds like the creek. I can do it! I can find my way around in the dark!
[The Otters, The Moles and Flick]
You've got follow your nose, follow your nose
Feel around the ground with your tippy-toes
Follow your nose, eyes stay closed
Open up your ears and just suppose
[Edward]
There's a better way of lookin' around
[Edward and Molly]
Just open up your senses
Touch and skip and use your ears
Open up and lose your fears
[Jelly]
All I've gotta do is follow my nose, follow my nose
Feel around the ground with my tippy-toes
[Peanut]
Follow my nose, eyes stay closed
Open up my ears and just suppose
[The Otters, The Moles and Flick]
There's another way of lookin' around
Just open up your senses
Touch and skip and use your ears
When we open our minds, fears disappear!
And we'll just follow our nose, follow our nose
Feel around the ground with our tippy-toes
Follow our nose, eyes stay closed
Open up our ears and just suppose
There's another way of lookin' around
Just open up our senses
Touch and skip and use our ears
When we open our minds, fears disappear
Our fears disappear!
Jelly: Be right back!
Edward: Hey, where ya' goin'?
Jelly: To ask my mama if I can come to lunch!
Flick: Don't eat all the cookies while we're gone!
Opal: They invited you to lunch? Well, isn't that nice? Are Mr. and Mrs. Mole gonna be there too?
Peanut and Jelly: Uh huh!
Opal: Jelly, are you gonna be okay? It'll be mighty dark.
Jelly: I'm not afraid. Too much.
Peanut: Yeah. 'Cause Edward and Molly showed us how to find our way around in the dark.
Jelly: Hey! I'll wear my Super Jellina Cape of Fearlessness.
Opal: Lucky thing I just finished mending it. Here you go.
Jelly: (as triumphant theme plays) Wow! I feel super-fearless. Thanks, Mama!
Opal: You're welcome, Jellina.
(The Otters and Flick return to the moles. There are sounds of laughter and chattering.)
Jelly: She said it was okay.
Butter: Nosey, Nosey!
Peanut: Come on, let's go eat, guys. Cool.
Jelly: Now, Baby Butter, just 'cause it's really dark down there, I don't want you to get scared, okay?
Butter: (clearly not scared at all) Whee!
Molly: Well, this is it, Jelly. You ready?
Jelly: Ready. (ominous music plays) Not ready!
Molly: Jelly, I'm gonna be with you the whole time.
Jelly: Okay. And I've also got my Super Jellina Cape of Fearlessness, so here goes nothing. I did it! I did it! I did it!
Flick: Cheese and quackers, would you stop jumping on my toes?
Jelly: Sorry.
Mr. Mole: Lunch is served!
Edward: Oh boy. (They all cheer and enjoy the picnic.)
Jelly: I love these mushroom salad sticks. Are they hard to make?
Mrs. Mole: Oh, it's easy if you do it right, Jelly.
Edward: Hey, guys, now that we're finished reading, you want to read our comic book?
Flick: Sure! But how are we gonna read in the dark?
Edward: I can read in the dark, no problem. I just move my fingers over these bumps.
(He reads a bit and they all indicate they're taking off.)
Mr. Mole: Be sure you come right back, Edward. We've still got a long trip ahead of us.
Edward: Oh, we're just walking them out.
Peanut: There's still something I don't get. Who digs all these big tunnels?
Edward: (giggles) We do. Digging tunnels is what moles do best. It's easy as pie!
(Nosey shouts happily and starts to dig a tunnel.)
Molly: Nosey, no, not now!
Jelly: What's he doing?
Peanut: I hear digging.
Molly: Nosey, stop it. Come on, Nosey!
Jelly: Stop! Don't leave me!
Molly: Oops, sorry, Jelly! Here I am!
Jelly: Come back! Where are you!? Ahh! Ahh!
Molly: Jelly!
Jelly: Molly!
Molly: Follow my voice.
Jelly: Okay. Only one problem.
Molly: What's that?
Jelly: I'm too scared to move.
Peanut: Okay, I know what to do. Whenever we're really stuck on a problem, we do a Noodle Dance to help us think of ideas.
Jelly: Dance?! I can't even see!
Peanut: Jell, you don't need to see to use your noodle.
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Use your noodle, use your brain
Jelly: I've got it! I'll get a super-powerful sunstick, stick it in the tunnel and boom. I can see where I'm going!
Peanut: Great idea, Jelly. But how are you going to get a super-powerful sunstick when you can't find your way out of the tunnel? (Jelly screams.)
Molly: Jelly, wait. I've got another idea. Remember when we were playing Follow Your Nose?
Jelly: I don't feel like playing games right now. Sorry.
Molly: But you weren't scared when you were wearing my bandana over your eyes.
Jelly: That's 'cause I wasn't underground!
Molly: How do you know you're underground now? Use that cape of yours to cover your eyes. You can pretend you're anywhere!
Jelly: That's right! My Super Jellina Cape of Fearlessness will help calm me down. Uh oh! () my cape is gone! (screams) What do I do now?
Molly: Use your arms, Jelly. What do you feel?
Jelly: I found a string. This feels like... hey this isn't a string. It's yarn from my cape! It must have snagged on something. I know. I can follow the string right out of the tunnel. I'm saved! (The others all cheer for her.)
Molly: I can here you, Jelly. Keep coming this way. Hey, there you are.
Edward: Are you okay? Well, here you go.
Flick: So, now that I know you're not an evil numchuckin' undergrounder, you wanna come over for babbleberry pie sometime?
Edward: Sure, but you'd better watch out. I'm a martial arts expert.
Flick: Ah ha ha ha. (all giggle)
Edward: How about a Bucky Spacebeaver salute?
Flick: Da da da da da!
Jelly: Thanks for everything, Molly. Well, bye.
Molly: Bye.
Opal: Jelly was so excited. Seems like she's really getting over being afraid of the dark.
Jelly: You got that right, mama. Huh?
Opal: Jelly Otter, what are you doing up so late?
Jelly: I came for some pie.
Ernest: How did you know we were having pie?
Jelly: That's easy. I just followed my nose.
(Everyone laughs.)
"Follow Your Nose"
Written and Story Edited by Eric Weiner
Songs by Fred Newman and Dan Sawyer
Transcribed by Agent0042
(Agent0042: How can Eric Weiner have written something like this and then go and create something like "Dora the Explorer"? Anyway, in this very special double-length episode, created in partnership with the American Foundation for the Blind, the Otters and Flick meet a family of moles who have low vision and read using Braille. They learn how to use their other senses to get around. This episode features two songs. The first of them was featured on one of the Playhouse Disney albums, though I like the second song better. I mean, come on, it's a rock song! That's pretty cool. Anyway, enjoy the transcript. This one was a bit rough because my recording wasn't very great-- I did the best I could, but I can't guarantee that there aren't small portions that are inaccurate.)

Track 6, Playhouse Disney, Volume Two
[Moles]
Oodely oodle, skippety doodle, oodlely-doodely day
A skip, a poke, a little joke
We're off and on our way
A pack on our backs
We'll follow the tracks
And oh it's gonna be great

We can hardly wait
So exciting, exploring the walls and floors
So inviting, opening brand-new doors
(Hello!)
[Peanut, Butter and Jelly]
Oodely oodle, skippety doodle, oodlely-doodely day
A hop, a skip, we're on a trip
To places far away
We've packed a snack
A pic-a-nack
And oh what fun it'll be
A perfect day
We're on our way
To see what we can see
Smell the flowers
Adventure's round the bend
Sunny hours, meeeting brand-new friends
[PB&J and Moles]
Oodely oodle, skippety doodle, oodlely-doodely day

(all giggle)
Molly: Hey, Mama, when are we gonna stop for lunch?
Edward: Yeah, I'm gettin' hungry.
Mr. Mole: Let me check the time. Almost noon. Time for our picnic lunch.
Edward, Molly and Nosey: Yay!
Mrs. Mole: You kids go and play. We'll call you when we're ready.
Edward, Molly and Nosey: Okay!
Mrs. Mole: Stay out of trouble.
Edward, Molly and Nosey: Bye, Mama!
Jelly: This basket's kinda heavy.
Peanut: I know how we can make it lighter.
Peanut and Jelly: Let's eat!
Butter: Yay!
Jelly: Wonder what Mama packed for us.
Peanut: Yeah, now we can look.
(Flick pops up from behind the picnic basket.)
Flick: Surprise! (The others scream in surprise.)
Peanut: Flick, what are you doing here?
Flick: I can smell babbleberry pie a mile away.
Flick, Peanut and Jelly: Mmm, babbleberry pie.
Flick: My mouth is watering. Let's eat.
Butter: Yeah!
Peanut: Thanks, Butter.
Jelly: Babbleberry pie.
Flick: Uh oh! We'd better get out of here!
Peanut: What is it? What do you see?
Peanut and Jelly: Huh?
Peanut: It's a door.
Jelly: I've seen doors like that all over the forest.
Flick: Yeah, but do you know who lives behind those doors?
Jelly: I give up. Who?
Flick: Ah, cheese and quackers. Don't you know about moles?
Peanut: Sure we do. Dad's got a big one right on the back of his--
Flick: No, not that kind of mole. I'm talkin' about real moles.
Peanut and Jelly: Real moles?!
Flick: Strange creatures that dig dark tunnels under the earth. They're martial arts experts and they carry these numchucky stick weapon thingies!
Peanut: Now where did you hear that?
Jelly: Yeah. Who says?
Flick: Uh, everybody. Moles wear these dark glasses. That proves they're hiding something.
Jelly: No it doesn't.
Flick: And get this-- moles can't stand ducks. Or otters. (Butter starts crying.)
Peanut: Don't worry, Butter. Flick's just making up stories.
Jelly: Yeah, Flick. How come we've never seen one of these strange mole creatures of yours.
Flick: That's the thing. They'll hear you.
Jelly: Who?
Flick: Undergrounders. They live down under the ground.
Jelly: Uh uh.
Flick: Uh huh. Come on! We gotta get outta here before the moles find us and take us with their numchucky sticks! (He starts to run off, but notices that PB&J aren't. He gasps.) What are you doing?!
Jelly: We wanna see one of those moles.
Flick: Yeah, but I just finished telling ya'--
Jelly: Yeah, but I wanna decide for myself.
Flick: Oh!
Jelly: Hey, look, there's another door.
Edward: Nosey?!
Molly: Nosey, stay where you are! Nosey!
Flick: Moles aboard. We gotta get out of here! PB&J?!
Peanut: I wanna meet one of them.
Jelly: Let go! We're staying!
(All talk over each other. They don't realize that Butter has wandered away and met Nosey.)
Nosey: Hi!
Butter: Hi!
Nosey: Hi!
Butter: Hi! (They giggle and chatter.)
Flick: Well, I'm outta here. If you three otters wanna stay around and risk a mole attack-- (gasps) It's-- it's-- it's an undergrounder! Look, he's stealing our pie. Catch him! Catch him!
Jelly: Flick, wait! Slow down!
Flick: I'm not scared of him. He's a thief! He's got our pie!
Molly: Uh oh.
Edward: Come on.
(Everyone screams and shouts at each other.)
Butter: No!
Edward: Nosey.
Flick: Wha'?!
Edward: It's okay, Nosey.
Flick: What did I tell ya'?! Numchucks!
Edward: What's goin' on?

Peanut: I hear digging.
Molly: Nosey, stop it. Come on, Nosey!
Jelly: Stop! Don't leave me!
Molly: Oops, sorry, Jelly! Here I am!
Jelly: Come back! Where are you!? Ahh! Ahh!
Molly: Jelly!
Jelly: Molly!
Molly: Follow my voice.

Peanut: Great idea, Jelly. But how are you going to get a super-powerful sunstick when you can't find your way out of the tunnel? (Jelly screams.)
Molly: Jelly, wait. I've got another idea. Remember when we were playing Follow Your Nose?
Jelly: I don't feel like playing games right now. Sorry.

Jelly: I found a string. This feels like... hey this isn't a string. It's yarn from my cape! It must have snagged on something. I know. I can follow the string right out of the tunnel. I'm saved! (The others all cheer for her.)
Molly: I can here you, Jelly. Keep coming this way. Hey, there you are.
Edward: Are you okay? Well, here you go.
Flick: So, now that I know you're not an evil numchuckin' undergrounder, you wanna come over for babbleberry pie sometime?
Edward: Sure, but you'd better watch out. I'm a martial arts expert.
Flick: Ah ha ha ha. (all giggle)
Edward: How about a Bucky Spacebeaver salute?
Flick: Da da da da da!
Jelly: Thanks for everything, Molly. Well, bye.
Molly: Bye.
Opal: Jelly was so excited. Seems like she's really getting over being afraid of the dark.
Jelly: You got that right, mama. Huh?
Opal: Jelly Otter, what are you doing up so late?
Jelly: I came for some pie.
Ernest: How did you know we were having pie?
Jelly: That's easy. I just followed my nose.
(Everyone laughs.)
