"Munchy's Sinking Feeling"
Written by Anne Baumgarten and Bruce Shelly

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.)

Oodely oodle, skippety doodle, oodlely-doodely day

To see what we can see
Smell the flowers
Adventure's round the bend
Sunny hours, meeeting brand-new friends

It's an oodely 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?
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.)

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.)

Opal: "Billy the Duck"
(Ominous music plays. Sound of owl hooting. Inside a tent, Peanut, Flick and Munchy wake up.)
Munchy: W-what was that?
Peanut: It's okay, Munchy. It was just an owl.
Munchy: Are y-you sure? Sometimes big, scary monsters say "hoo" too. (Flick starts giggling.) They're tricky.
Peanut: It's okay, Munchy. It's just crickets and bugs and frogs and stuff.
Munchy: I know. It's the "stuff" that scares me.
Flick: Gah, that stuff doesn't scare me.
Peanut: Does anything scare you, Flick?
Flick: (crosses his arms) Nope. Not a thing. (uncrosses his arms) Well, I do remember a time when I was scared for real. I was so scared, I couldn't sleep for a whole month.
Munchy: I hate scary stuff. It's so (shudders) scary.
Flick: Well, nothin's as scary as my cousin, Billy the duck. He's the biggest, meanest kid in the whole world.
Peanut: Really?
Flick: Yeah.
Munchy: Ooh.
Flick: And my mom got a letter from his mom today. (shudders)
Munchy: Is he that bad, Flick?
Flick: (pointing at Munchy) Worse! One time, when I was little, Billy sat on me and wouldn't let me up for like four minutes.
Munchy: (gasps) Really?
Peanut: (skeptically) Uh huh.
Flick: Oh yeah. Billy's one mean duck. The meanest I've ever known. Big mean. Scary mean. Monster mean.
Munchy: (gasps) M-m-monster! Awwwww!
(He points outside the tent. All three scream as a shadowy figure comes in, but it's just Flick's Mom.)
Mrs. Duck: Relax boys, it's me.
Peanut: Oh.
Munchy: Hee hee.
Flick: Hi, Mom.
Peanut: Hi, Mrs. Duck.
Mrs. Duck: I saw your flashlight on and I thought I'd bring you some chocolate milk and babbleberry pie.
Peanut: Mmm, that looks great.
Flick: Oh yeah!
Munchy: Ooh boy.
Flick: I love it! Thanks, Mom!
Peanut: That's the stuff.
Flick: Thanks!
Mrs. Duck: Oh, and Flick?
Flick: Yeah, Mom?
Mrs. Duck: I have some good news for you. (The three start to sip their chocolate milk.) Your Aunt Susie wrote to say that your cousin Billy the duck is coming for a visit, tomorrow. (Flick stops dirnking hastily and spews out his chocolate milk.) Now finish up your treats and get to sleep.
Flick and Munchy: Okay.
Peanut: Yes, Mrs. Duck. (Mrs. Duck leaves.)
Flick: I got chocolate milk up my beak.
Peanut and Munchy: What are you gonna do, Flick?
Flick: Grow a beard for a disguise.
Peanut: Cheer up, Flick. Maybe your cousin Billy's changed.
Flick: Well, sure he has. He's probably gotten bigger and meaner. (Munchy starts to shudder again.) And now he's coming to get me.
(Lightning flashes and three huddle together and shout. Scene change. Jelly nd Munchy are sitting in the grass, playing checkers.)
Jelly: What's Flick's cousin Billy like, Munchy? Do you know?
Munchy: (a wild-west sounding theme plays) Well, one time he sat on Flick and wouldn't let him up for like four hours.
Jelly: Wow.
(Slide-wipe to Jelly and Pinch, sititng on deck chairs, drinking lemonade.)
Pinch: Have you heard anything about Flick's cousin Billy?
Jelly: I heard he sat on Flick for four days. (Pinch gasps.)
(Scootch and Pinch are now playing with blocks outside their houseboat.)
Pinch: I heard that Billy would pretend he was a monster and then jump on Flicka nd stay there for four whole months.
(Scootch gasps, drops his block and puts up his arms. He jumps up and runs off with a "yahhh!," scattering the blocks.)
Scootch: (runs back over to Pinch) Sorry, my fault. Yahhh! (runs off)
(Scootch and Munchy are now making a turtle in the sand.)
Munchy: You heard Flick's cousin Billy uses kids for trampolines?
Scootch: Yah.
Munchy: Really? Wow. And he's gonna be here today?
Scootch: Yahhhh! (runs off, trampling the sand turtle) Sorry, my fault. Yah!
~~~Big, Bad Billy the Duck~~~
[Flick]
Big, bad, Billy the Duck
When he's in town, you're outta luck
As wooly a bully as you've ever seen
He uses kids as a trampoline
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Flick, Munchy, Pinch and Scootch]
The wind is blowing Billy this way
He's coming tomorrow
We must leave today
[Flick]
He's big, bad, Billy the Duck
When he's in town, you're outta luck
When you see his bill
Head for the hills
When you see his wings
Stand up and sing
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Flick, Munchy, Pinch and Scootch]
Quack, quack, quack
The duck's coming back
Don't find yourself stuck
With big, bad, Billy the Duck
[Flick]
Yuck!
(As the song ends, Scootch points, indicating a boat approaching.)
Flick: I think we should run for the hills while we have the chance!
Peanut: Come on, guys. I think we should all wait and see what Billy's really like.
(A walkway extends and edgy theme plays as Billy, who is wearing a backwards ballcap, descends. Munchy cringes in terror and nibbles on his log nervously. He drops it.)
Munchy: Oops.
Mrs. Duck: (hugging Billy) Welcome to Lake Hoohaw, Billy. You remember your cousin Flick? Kids, I'd like you to meet my nephew, Billy the duck.
Peanut: Well, someone should give him a Lake Hoohaw welcome. I guess that's me. (He steps forward and extends his arm.) Hello! (trips over Munchy's log and falls on his face, knocking Billy into a puddle of mud.) Whoa! (everyone gasps) Uh oh!
(Billy gets up and looks upset. Scene change. The kids are throwing pebbles into a metal can and chattering.)
Peanut: So close. (Throws a bottle cap at it, but it clinks off.) This is not my lucky day.
Munchy: It was going pretty good until you pushed a giant bully into the mud. Ooh, sorry.
Peanut: It was an accident. I tripped.
Munchy: Well, I hope you don't have any more... accidents. (He throws a piece of wood at the can, but misses.)
Peanut: Maybe this lucky monkey cola cap will help.
Munchy: Wow. Is it really lucky?
Butter: Peanut monkey.
Peanut: I don't know. I hear it is. (He tosses it and hits the outside of the can, knocking it over.) Guess not.
Jelly: (rubbing her forehead) Phew. It's hot. Hey, come on, ya'll. Let's go swimming. (She runs off. The others follow.)
Peanut: All right!
Munchy: I wanna swim too.
Pinch: I'll go get my mom's permission. Hoohaw!
(Everyone has left. Billy finds Peanut's "lucky" cola cap. He picks it up and tosses it in the air a couple of times. Scene change. Peanut, Flick, Munchy and Butter are playing outside. Peanut is being swung on a tire swing.)
Peanut: Hmm. Has Billy mentioned our little accident this morning?
Flick: No. I think he's planning how to get you back.
Peanut: He said that?
Flick: Not exactly. But that's what I'd be doin' if someone pushed me in the mud.
Peanut: It was an accident!
Munchy: Uh oh! Here comes trouble.
Flick: I've seen that look before. (shakes his head) That's definitely not his happy look.
Munchy: What are you gonna do, Peanut?
Flick: Peanut? (Peanut has left and is now hiding behind some rocks.)
Butter: (playing with stuffed toys) Hee hee hee hee. (runs up and hugs Billy) Brilly!
Billy: Uh, hi. Where's your friend?
Flick and Munchy: (pointing in opposite directions) He went that way!
Munchy: We'll tell him you're looking for him. Heh heh.
Billy: Don't worry. I'll catch up with him sooner or later. (He walks away.)
Butter: Bye-bye. (waves)
Flick and Munchy: Oh man.
(Scene change. Peanut is walking past the Duck Family houseboat when Billy shows up. Peanut gasps and starts to run away. Billy follows and Peanut picks up the pace, starting to pant. He runs up to his Dad's houseboat, where Butter is playing with a rubber ball.)
Mrs. Duck: Yoo-hoo! Flick! Billy! Supper!
Billy: Hmm. (He walks off.)
Peanut: What am I gonna do?
Butter: Peanut monkey. Tee-hee-hee-hee-hee.
Peanut: Huh?
(Scene change. Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Flick and Munchy are sitting together in a circle in the grass.)
Peanut: I can't keep running away from him for the rest of my life.
Flick: (yawns) I'm so afraid, I haven't slept a wink.
Jelly: Hey, I know. I think it's time for a noodle dance.
(She hops up and starts dancing. The Noodle Dance background appears and the Noodle Dance music begins playing.)
Jelly: Maybe we can figure out what to do about a bully.
Butter: Noodle!
Munchy: (outside of the Noodle Dance) Well, here goes nothing.
Peanut: You think I can hide and dance at the same time? (dons a pair of sunglasses)
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Jelly: I've got it! Maybe we could trick Billy into getting into a rocket ship and then blast it off into deep deep space. Something like that.
Peanut: How 'bout we just send me off in a big old rocket ship. (unbeknownst to the others, Butter has walked off)
Flick: Hey, what if Peanut gave him a bunch of candy? You know, as a way to get Billy not to cream ya'? (He imagines Peanut pulling up with a truck full of candy.)
Peanut: There's gotta be another way to keep Billy from beating me up.
Jelly: Hey, I know. You can tell him not to.
Peanut: Tell him? You've seen him. You've heard how tough he is. He's gonna beat me up!
Jelly: He'll listen and we'll be right behind you, won't we? (Flick and Munchy shake their heads "no" vigorously.) Won't we? (they nod)
(Scene change. Butter approaches Billy, who is reading a comic book, and throws him the ball from earlier.)
Butter: Hee hee hee. Hee hee hee.
(Billy throws the ball back. The others approach him.)
Peanut: Excuse me, Billy, sir? I-I know you wanna beat me up, but before you do, I wanna tell you something.
Billy: Beat you up? What are you talking about?
Peanut: Isn't that why you've been following me around?
Billy: (shakes his head) No. I was trying to give you this back. (holds up the Lucky Monkey Cola cap) You dropped it.
Peanut: My Lucky Monkey Cola cap. But how'd you know it was mine?
Billy: Butter told me.
Butter: (pointing) Peanut monkey, Peanut monkey. Tee-hee-hee-hee.
Peanut: Wow. I mean, thank you. But aren't you mad about being pushed into the mud puddle?
Billy: Nah, I knew it was an accident. It's no big deal.
Peanut: So you're not a bully?
Billy: Bully? Ah ha ha ha ha. What makes you said that?
Peanut: Flick said that when he was little, you sat on him and wouldn't let him up for like four minutes.
Munchy: Days.
Pinch: Months.
Billy: What?! Oh yeah, I remember. (thought bubble appears over his head) Flick wanted to play horsey. Heh heh. I told him I was too big, but he wouldn't believe me. So I got on his back and he got squished for like a second.
Peanut: Eh heh heh heh heh. Really?
Flick: Oh yeah, now I remember. My mistake. Sorry.
Billy: That's all right, Flick.
Peanut: Billy, I'm sorry I thought bad things about you. (holds out his hand) Friends?
Billy: Friends. (They shake on it and Billy gives back the cap.)
Peanut: (holding it up) I guess my monkey cola cap is lucky after all. (all cheer)
Billy: It sure is!
(Scene change to the Otter family household. It's getting late-- the sun is setting.)
Opal: Well, Peanut, you sure seem happy tonight.
Jelly: That's because we all made a new friend today.
Butter: Brilly!
Peanut: Yeah, Billy's not a bully after all.
~~~Good Old Billy the Duck~~~
[Peanut]
Good ol' Billy the Duck
If he's your friend
Then you're in luck
[Jelly]
We used to think he was a bully
Now that really seems quite silly
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Flick, Opal and Ernest]
We're in luck
With good old Billy the Duck
Good old Billy the Duck
Good old Billy the Duck.
Billy: (opening the door) Uh, are you guys gonna come out to the tent, or what?
Jelly: What's goin' on, Billy?
Billy: Well, it's a little scary out here. Even for a bully. (He chuckles and all laugh.)
Flick: Get it. Bully? Billy? Ah, I quack myself up. Oh, "quack," get it? Ha ha ha ha ha!

Munchy: Really? Wow. And he's gonna be here today?
Scootch: Yahhhh! (runs off, trampling the sand turtle) Sorry, my fault. Yah!
~~~Big, Bad Billy the Duck~~~
[Flick]
Big, bad, Billy the Duck
When he's in town, you're outta luck
As wooly a bully as you've ever seen
He uses kids as a trampoline
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Flick, Munchy, Pinch and Scootch]
The wind is blowing Billy this way
He's coming tomorrow
We must leave today
[Flick]
He's big, bad, Billy the Duck
When he's in town, you're outta luck
When you see his bill
Head for the hills
When you see his wings
Stand up and sing
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Flick, Munchy, Pinch and Scootch]
Quack, quack, quack
The duck's coming back
Don't find yourself stuck
With big, bad, Billy the Duck
[Flick]
Yuck!
(As the song ends, Scootch points, indicating a boat approaching.)
Flick: I think we should run for the hills while we have the chance!
Peanut: Come on, guys. I think we should all wait and see what Billy's really like.
(A walkway extends and edgy theme plays as Billy, who is wearing a backwards ballcap, descends. Munchy cringes in terror and nibbles on his log nervously. He drops it.)
Munchy: Oops.
Mrs. Duck: (hugging Billy) Welcome to Lake Hoohaw, Billy. You remember your cousin Flick? Kids, I'd like you to meet my nephew, Billy the duck.
Peanut: Well, someone should give him a Lake Hoohaw welcome. I guess that's me. (He steps forward and extends his arm.) Hello! (trips over Munchy's log and falls on his face, knocking Billy into a puddle of mud.) Whoa! (everyone gasps) Uh oh!
(Billy gets up and looks upset. Scene change. The kids are throwing pebbles into a metal can and chattering.)
Peanut: So close. (Throws a bottle cap at it, but it clinks off.) This is not my lucky day.
Munchy: It was going pretty good until you pushed a giant bully into the mud. Ooh, sorry.
Peanut: It was an accident. I tripped.
Munchy: Well, I hope you don't have any more... accidents. (He throws a piece of wood at the can, but misses.)
Peanut: Maybe this lucky monkey cola cap will help.
Munchy: Wow. Is it really lucky?
Butter: Peanut monkey.
Peanut: I don't know. I hear it is. (He tosses it and hits the outside of the can, knocking it over.) Guess not.
Jelly: (rubbing her forehead) Phew. It's hot. Hey, come on, ya'll. Let's go swimming. (She runs off. The others follow.)
Peanut: All right!
Munchy: I wanna swim too.
Pinch: I'll go get my mom's permission. Hoohaw!
(Everyone has left. Billy finds Peanut's "lucky" cola cap. He picks it up and tosses it in the air a couple of times. Scene change. Peanut, Flick, Munchy and Butter are playing outside. Peanut is being swung on a tire swing.)
Peanut: Hmm. Has Billy mentioned our little accident this morning?
Flick: No. I think he's planning how to get you back.
Peanut: He said that?
Flick: Not exactly. But that's what I'd be doin' if someone pushed me in the mud.
Peanut: It was an accident!
Munchy: Uh oh! Here comes trouble.
Flick: I've seen that look before. (shakes his head) That's definitely not his happy look.
Munchy: What are you gonna do, Peanut?
Flick: Peanut? (Peanut has left and is now hiding behind some rocks.)
Butter: (playing with stuffed toys) Hee hee hee hee. (runs up and hugs Billy) Brilly!
Billy: Uh, hi. Where's your friend?
Flick and Munchy: (pointing in opposite directions) He went that way!
Munchy: We'll tell him you're looking for him. Heh heh.
Billy: Don't worry. I'll catch up with him sooner or later. (He walks away.)
Butter: Bye-bye. (waves)
Flick and Munchy: Oh man.
(Scene change. Peanut is walking past the Duck Family houseboat when Billy shows up. Peanut gasps and starts to run away. Billy follows and Peanut picks up the pace, starting to pant. He runs up to his Dad's houseboat, where Butter is playing with a rubber ball.)
Mrs. Duck: Yoo-hoo! Flick! Billy! Supper!
Billy: Hmm. (He walks off.)
Peanut: What am I gonna do?
Butter: Peanut monkey. Tee-hee-hee-hee-hee.
Peanut: Huh?
(Scene change. Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Flick and Munchy are sitting together in a circle in the grass.)
Peanut: I can't keep running away from him for the rest of my life.
Flick: (yawns) I'm so afraid, I haven't slept a wink.
Jelly: Hey, I know. I think it's time for a noodle dance.
(She hops up and starts dancing. The Noodle Dance background appears and the Noodle Dance music begins playing.)
Jelly: Maybe we can figure out what to do about a bully.
Butter: Noodle!
Munchy: (outside of the Noodle Dance) Well, here goes nothing.
Peanut: You think I can hide and dance at the same time? (dons a pair of sunglasses)
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Jelly: I've got it! Maybe we could trick Billy into getting into a rocket ship and then blast it off into deep deep space. Something like that.
Peanut: How 'bout we just send me off in a big old rocket ship. (unbeknownst to the others, Butter has walked off)
Flick: Hey, what if Peanut gave him a bunch of candy? You know, as a way to get Billy not to cream ya'? (He imagines Peanut pulling up with a truck full of candy.)
Peanut: There's gotta be another way to keep Billy from beating me up.
Jelly: Hey, I know. You can tell him not to.
Peanut: Tell him? You've seen him. You've heard how tough he is. He's gonna beat me up!
Jelly: He'll listen and we'll be right behind you, won't we? (Flick and Munchy shake their heads "no" vigorously.) Won't we? (they nod)
(Scene change. Butter approaches Billy, who is reading a comic book, and throws him the ball from earlier.)
Butter: Hee hee hee. Hee hee hee.
(Billy throws the ball back. The others approach him.)
Peanut: Excuse me, Billy, sir? I-I know you wanna beat me up, but before you do, I wanna tell you something.
Billy: Beat you up? What are you talking about?
Peanut: Isn't that why you've been following me around?
Billy: (shakes his head) No. I was trying to give you this back. (holds up the Lucky Monkey Cola cap) You dropped it.
Peanut: My Lucky Monkey Cola cap. But how'd you know it was mine?
Billy: Butter told me.
Butter: (pointing) Peanut monkey, Peanut monkey. Tee-hee-hee-hee.
Peanut: Wow. I mean, thank you. But aren't you mad about being pushed into the mud puddle?
Billy: Nah, I knew it was an accident. It's no big deal.
Peanut: So you're not a bully?
Billy: Bully? Ah ha ha ha ha. What makes you said that?
Peanut: Flick said that when he was little, you sat on him and wouldn't let him up for like four minutes.
Munchy: Days.
Pinch: Months.
Billy: What?! Oh yeah, I remember. (thought bubble appears over his head) Flick wanted to play horsey. Heh heh. I told him I was too big, but he wouldn't believe me. So I got on his back and he got squished for like a second.
Peanut: Eh heh heh heh heh. Really?
Flick: Oh yeah, now I remember. My mistake. Sorry.
Billy: That's all right, Flick.
Peanut: Billy, I'm sorry I thought bad things about you. (holds out his hand) Friends?
Billy: Friends. (They shake on it and Billy gives back the cap.)
Peanut: (holding it up) I guess my monkey cola cap is lucky after all. (all cheer)
Billy: It sure is!
(Scene change to the Otter family household. It's getting late-- the sun is setting.)
Opal: Well, Peanut, you sure seem happy tonight.
Jelly: That's because we all made a new friend today.
Butter: Brilly!
Peanut: Yeah, Billy's not a bully after all.
~~~Good Old Billy the Duck~~~
[Peanut]
Good ol' Billy the Duck
If he's your friend
Then you're in luck
[Jelly]
We used to think he was a bully
Now that really seems quite silly
[Peanut, Jelly, Butter, Flick, Opal and Ernest]
We're in luck
With good old Billy the Duck
Good old Billy the Duck
Good old Billy the Duck.
Billy: (opening the door) Uh, are you guys gonna come out to the tent, or what?
Jelly: What's goin' on, Billy?
Billy: Well, it's a little scary out here. Even for a bully. (He chuckles and all laugh.)
Flick: Get it. Bully? Billy? Ah, I quack myself up. Oh, "quack," get it? Ha ha ha ha ha!

Sorry this was late, but here's another transcript from Agent0042.
"Forgive Me Not"
Written by Dennis Garvey and Tom Nichols
Songs by Fred Newman and Dan Sawyer
Transcribed by Agent0042
(I've seen this plot on at least two or three other shows, but "PB&J Otter" always does stuff well. Coming soon, hopefully, both "Billy the Duck"and "Follow Your Nose.")
Characters
Adam Rose as Peanut Otter
Jenell Brook Slack as Jelly Otter
Gina Marie Tortorici as Baby Butter Otter
Gwen Shepard as Opal Otter
Nancy Giles as Aunt Nanner
Cody Pennes as Pinch Raccoon
Aunt Nanner: "Forgive Me Not"
Jelly: Is she here? Do ya' see her?
Peanut: No.
Jelly: Mama, when is Aunt Nanner gonna get here?
Opal: Soon, I hope. But I'm afraid you kids need to go to bed.
Peanut, Butter and Jelly: Awwww.
Jelly: One more minute, please?
Ernest: Now kids, you'll get to see Aunt Nanner first thing in the morning. How's that? (sound of boat horn honking)
PB&J: Huh?!
Butter: Nanner!
Otter Family: Oh!
Aunt Nanner: (riding behind the boat on a jetski) Hi, ya'll! (giggles) Woo-hoo! Hoo hoo hoo! Woo hoo!
PB&J: Aunt Nanner! Yeah!
(The boat speeds up to the docking plank for the Otter family houseboat, rounds the bend and Aunt Nanner leaps off.)
Aunt Nanner: Aha! Thanks, guy! Hello, my sweet little angel otters. I've got a surprise for you.
Peanut: Oh boy! Salmon bubble gum!
Jelly: (squeaky with excitement) That's my favorite!
Peanut and Jelly: Thank you!
Opal: Anna, you're here only a minute and you're already spoiling the kids.
Aunt Nanner: Well, they don't see their Aunt Nanner every day now, do they?
Jelly: (noticing Aunt Nanner's snazzy sunglasses) Aunt Nanner, your glasses are beautiful.
Aunt Nanner: You like them?
Jelly: Like them? I love them. (startled by Butter popping her gum) Ahh! (All giggle except Butter.)
Ernest: All right, PB&J. Now it's really time to get ready for bed.
Jelly: (running up and hugging Aunt Nanner along with Peanut) Aw, Daddy, Aunt Nanner just got here.
Peanut: Can't we just a little bit longer?
Aunt Nanner: (putting on a cowboy hat and using a "wild west" accent) Now you listen up, buckaroos. You mosey on into the bunkhouse and get yourself some shuteye. I need you to be well rested for the seahorse rodeo tomorrow night. (all three cheer)
Peanut: Seahorse rodeo!
Ernest: Anna, you're too much.
(Scene change. Jelly is outside playing cowboy and cowgirls with Peanut and Butter. She is wearing a bright red cape. Butter is on Peanut's back and Peanut is wearing a cowboy hot.)
Jelly: Ride 'em, cowbaby!
Butter: Horsey!
(Peanut neighs and gallop about. The three giggle and Pinch approaches the group.)
Pinch: Whatch' ya'll doing?
Jelly: We're playing rodeo.
Peanut: Yeah. Our Aunt Nanner's gonna take us to the seahorse rodeo tonight.
Pinch: Wow, Peanut. Can I play rodeo too?
Jelly: Sure!
Pinch: Great! Gimme your cape!
Jelly: Oh. But this is my rodeo cape.
Pinch: Just for a sec?
Jelly: Mmm... (takes it off and fastens it to Pinch)
Pinch: (gasps in delight) Look at me! I'm the queen of the rodeo! (runs around joyfully) La la la la la...
(The cape catches on a nail in the fence. Pinch starts to run forward...)
Peanut: Pinch! Careful!
(Pinch stops herself, but not before the cape gets ripped She gasps in upset.)
Jelly: My cape!
Pinch: Oh no! Jelly, I'm so sorry. (She hands it back to Jelly.) I'll make it up to you, I promise! (Jelly holds up the cape, which appears ruined.)
Jelly: You mean you'll get me a new one?
Pinch: Well, I don't have a cape and I don't have any money. (This wasn't what Jelly wanted to hear. She walks away. Pinch tails after.) But I'll do anything, Jelly! Anything!
Peanut: (catching up with Jelly) It was just an accident, right Jelly? (Jelly walks away again.)
Pinch: (grasping Peanut by the arm) Oh, I've gotta figure out a way to make this up to her. I've got it!
Peanut: Hmm.
(Scene change. Pinch runs past Jelly and into the Otter family houseboat. She heads into Jelly's room.)
Pinch: Just a sec! (They walk in.) I made your bed and I folded all your clothes and put them away neatly. See?!
Jelly: (without any enthusiasm) Oh my. You didn't have to do that. (She sits down on her bed.)
Pinch: So, do you forgive me?
Jelly: Well...
(Jelly holds the cape up to her face and sobs. Pinch walks away sadly. She joins Peanut and Butter in the kitchen. Jelly enters the room and turns on the water for the faucet...)
Peanut: You don't have to do the dishes, Jelly.
Jelly: Yes, I do. It's my turn to do them today.
Peanut: (indicates Pinch, who is drying a plate) Pinch already did 'em for you.
Pinch: (humming) Hm hm hm hm.
Jelly: Thanks.
Pinch: Now do you forgive me?
Jelly: I for-- I for-- I can't believe you ripped it! That was my special cape! (She stalks off.)
Peanut: (putting a comforting arm around Pinch) Don't worry, Pinch. She'll get over it, I hope.
(Jelly sighs and sits down on the Otter family couch. She tries them on, but then they fall off her face. They hit the table and then the floor.)
Jelly: Oh no! Aunt Nanner's glasses!
(She picks them up and runs outside. Peanut and Butter find her outside, pacing.)
Peanut: Jelly, what's wrong?
Jelly: Oh, Peanut. I broke Aunt Nanner's new sunglasses.
Peanut: Uh oh. How'd you do that?
Jelly: Well, I saw them on the coffee table and I was trying them on a little bit and I dropped 'em. Look. Poor Aunt Nanner. These glasses were so special. What am I gonna do?
Peanut: Maybe we could fix 'em?
Jelly: Peanut Otter, you're the greatest older brother I've ever had.
Peanut: I'm the only older brother you've ever had. (giggles) Come on!
(They walk inside, Butter going for a bit of a ride.)
Aunt Nanner: Howdy, kids! Soon it's gonna be time for the rodeo!
Peanut: (nonchalant) We can't wait.
Jelly: Um, we're gonna go down to the basement and do somethin', okay?
Opal: Okay. You don't need to ask permission for that.
(The three walk sideways, slowly, into the basement, Peanut giving a little wave. Opal puts up her hands as if to say she doesn't get it.)
Jelly: Okay, now how do we fix the glasses?
Peanut: I don't know.
Jelly: You don't know?!
Peanut: Don't panic. Here, chew some of Aunt Nanner's gum. That always calms you down. Now let's see. We need something sticky. Maybe there's something down here we can use. Paint? Nah, that won't work. Glue? Nope, all used up. (Jelly chews her gum, blows it and pops a bubble.) Gum!
Jelly: I just chewed the whole pack. Sorry. I guess I'm more nervous than I thought.
Peanut: No, Jelly. We can use the gum to fix the glasses.
Jelly: Peanut, you're a genius. I'll just put some gum in these holes. Then we can stick the jewels back in good as new. See?
Peanut: Watch out, Jelly. You're getting gum all over everything.
Jelly: Oh no.
Peanut: They look worse than ever.
Jelly: I think we'd better do a noodle dance and fast.
Peanut: (crosses his arms) I'll use my noodle, but I'm not dancing.
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the Noodle Dance
Jelly: I've got it!
Peanut: Wait, let me guess. A time machine.
Jelly: Nope.
Peanut: A helicopter?
Jelly: (shakes her head) Nope.
Peanut: Giant magnet?
Jelly: And no. (takes a deep breath) I have to go and tell Aunt Nanner the truth.
Peanut: What kind of plan is that?
Jelly: It's the only thing to do. (She picks up the glasses and heads upstairs.) Oh, she'll never forgive me. Uh, Aunt Nanner, I'm really sorry. Please don't be mad at me.
Aunt Nanner: Mad at you? What on Earth could ever make me get mad at you, honey?
Jelly: (handing her the glasses) I didn't mean to, but I broke your glasses.
Opal: (wagging her finger) Jelly, you shouldn't have taken Aunt Nanner's glasses without asking her.
Jelly: I know. I'm sorry.
Aunt Nanner: Honey, don't you worry. I can get them fixed. And I know you didn't do it on purpose. I forgive you.
Jelly: You do?
Aunt Nanner: Of course.
Jelly: But they were so expensive.
Aunt Nanner: Expensive? Sweetie, they only cost me six boxtops.
Jelly: Really?
Aunt Nanner: (as she talks, a chorus begins singing "oom bop ahh") Really. And listen, even if they had been expensive, you didn't mean to break them, right?
Jelly: Right.
Aunt Nanner: You're more important to me than any old pair of glasses.
~~~It Works Both Ways~~~
[Male Backing Vocalists]
Oom bop ahh
[Aunt Nanner]
If by mistake we hurt someone
We know just what to do
We quickly say we're sorry
Forgive me please, won't you?
If the person we just hurt
Can look beyond the pain
And say to us that it's okay
We'll all feel good again
[Opal and Male Backing Vocalists]
Oom bop ahh
Oom bop ahh
Oom bop ahh
Oom bop ahh
[Aunt Nanner and Male Backing Vocalists]
It works both ways
[Aunt Nanner]
If you say "I'm sorry"
[Aunt Nanner and Male Backing Vocalists]
It works both ways
[Aunt Nanner]
If I reply "don't worry"
[Aunt Nanner and Male Backing Vocalists]
When it works both ways
[Aunt Nanner]
We've both got no regrets
Yes,
[Aunt Nanner and Male Backing Vocalists]
It works both ways
[Aunt Nanner]
When all forgive and all forget
It's hard to say "I'm sorry"
[Jelly]
It's not easy to forgive
[Aunt Nanner]
But folks who know how to let it go
[Aunt Nanner, Jelly and Male Backing Vocalists]
Know just how to live
[Aunt Nanner and Jelly]
It works both ways
[Aunt Nanner]
If I say "I'm sorry"
[Aunt Nanner, Opal and Jelly]
It works both ways
[Jelly]
If I reply "don't worry"
[Aunt Nanner and Jelly]
When it works both ways
[Aunt Nanner, Jelly and Opal]
We've both got no regrets
Yes, it works both ways
[Jelly]
When all forgive and all forget
[Male Backing Vocalists]
Oom bop ahh
Oom bop ahh
Oom bop ahh.
(During the song, Peanut and Butter enter the room. The song ends, with the backing vocalists wrapping up as Jelly begins speaking...)
Jelly: Oh my, Pinch!
Opal: Where are you going, Jelly?
Jelly: I gotta talk to Pinch.
Pinch: I finished rearranging your sock drawer. (yawns) I'll be back tomorrow to do more stuff for you.
Jelly: Pinch, you didn't mean to tear my cape. I'm sorry I made you feel so bad about it. And I'm sorry I let you do all this work.
Pinch: But your cape!
Jelly: Pinch, you're more important than some old cape.
Pinch: You mean you forgive me?
Jelly: I forgive you, infinity.
(The show's standard theme for fun and happiness plays as Jelly, Pinch and Butter slide downstairs.)
Aunt Nanner: You kids better get ready. It's almost time to go to the seahorse rodeo.
Jelly: You mean you're still taking us? After what I did?
Aunt Nanner: Did? What? I don't remember you doing anything. Do you?
Jelly: Aunt Nanner, you're the best.
Aunt Nanner: And, Pinch, why don't you come along with us? The more the merrier, I always say.
Pinch: Oh, how wonderful.
Aunt Nanner: (putting on her hat) Come on, buckaroos! Fix up your horsies. We're going to the rodeo.
(An instrumental of "It Works Both Ways" plays as all cheer and chatter. They exit the Otter family houseboat.)
Jelly: Yee-hah! Ride 'em, cowgirls. Come on, buckaroo Pinch!
Pinch: Yee-hah, buckaroo Jelly!

Aunt Nanner: (as she talks, a chorus begins singing "oom bop ahh") Really. And listen, even if they had been expensive, you didn't mean to break them, right?
Jelly: Right.
Aunt Nanner: You're more important to me than any old pair of glasses.
~~~It Works Both Ways~~~
[Male Backing Vocalists]
Oom bop ahh
[Aunt Nanner]
If by mistake we hurt someone
We know just what to do
We quickly say we're sorry
Forgive me please, won't you?
If the person we just hurt
Can look beyond the pain
And say to us that it's okay
We'll all feel good again
[Opal and Male Backing Vocalists]
Oom bop ahh
Oom bop ahh
Oom bop ahh
Oom bop ahh
[Aunt Nanner and Male Backing Vocalists]
It works both ways
[Aunt Nanner]
If you say "I'm sorry"
[Aunt Nanner and Male Backing Vocalists]
It works both ways
[Aunt Nanner]
If I reply "don't worry"
[Aunt Nanner and Male Backing Vocalists]
When it works both ways
[Aunt Nanner]
We've both got no regrets
Yes,
[Aunt Nanner and Male Backing Vocalists]
It works both ways
[Aunt Nanner]
When all forgive and all forget
It's hard to say "I'm sorry"
[Jelly]
It's not easy to forgive
[Aunt Nanner]
But folks who know how to let it go
[Aunt Nanner, Jelly and Male Backing Vocalists]
Know just how to live
[Aunt Nanner and Jelly]
It works both ways
[Aunt Nanner]
If I say "I'm sorry"
[Aunt Nanner, Opal and Jelly]
It works both ways
[Jelly]
If I reply "don't worry"
[Aunt Nanner and Jelly]
When it works both ways
[Aunt Nanner, Jelly and Opal]
We've both got no regrets
Yes, it works both ways
[Jelly]
When all forgive and all forget
[Male Backing Vocalists]
Oom bop ahh
Oom bop ahh
Oom bop ahh.
(During the song, Peanut and Butter enter the room. The song ends, with the backing vocalists wrapping up as Jelly begins speaking...)
Jelly: Oh my, Pinch!
Opal: Where are you going, Jelly?
Jelly: I gotta talk to Pinch.
Pinch: I finished rearranging your sock drawer. (yawns) I'll be back tomorrow to do more stuff for you.
Jelly: Pinch, you didn't mean to tear my cape. I'm sorry I made you feel so bad about it. And I'm sorry I let you do all this work.
Pinch: But your cape!
Jelly: Pinch, you're more important than some old cape.
Pinch: You mean you forgive me?
Jelly: I forgive you, infinity.
(The show's standard theme for fun and happiness plays as Jelly, Pinch and Butter slide downstairs.)
Aunt Nanner: You kids better get ready. It's almost time to go to the seahorse rodeo.
Jelly: You mean you're still taking us? After what I did?
Aunt Nanner: Did? What? I don't remember you doing anything. Do you?
Jelly: Aunt Nanner, you're the best.
Aunt Nanner: And, Pinch, why don't you come along with us? The more the merrier, I always say.
Pinch: Oh, how wonderful.
Aunt Nanner: (putting on her hat) Come on, buckaroos! Fix up your horsies. We're going to the rodeo.
(An instrumental of "It Works Both Ways" plays as all cheer and chatter. They exit the Otter family houseboat.)
Jelly: Yee-hah! Ride 'em, cowgirls. Come on, buckaroo Pinch!
Pinch: Yee-hah, buckaroo Jelly!

Transcript - Trading Places
Hey, I know this is kind of abrupt, but I got the transcript, and based on popular vote, I'm adding this one and changing the poll so that I can add the transcript and keep the poll running.
Sorry about any confusion this may have caused.
"Trading Places"
Written by Anne Baumgarten and Bruce Shelly
Songs by Rich Mendoza, Lyrics and Music
Transcribed by Agent0042
Agent0042: Leave it to Mr. Snooty to just demand of Mr. Otter that he and his family do housesitting and not even leave them a set of instructions or anything. Anyways, I managed to get a better audio quality this time, so transcribing was easier, but scene descriptions are still somewhat minimal as I'm not working along with video. If anyone has a particular transcript they want next, check my collection list over at TV.com...

Alarm
Opal: "Trading Places"
(sound of boat honking)
Flick: What's goin' on?
Ootsie: Hello, little otters.
Bootsie: Goodbye, little otters. We're off to Poodletopia.
Mr. Snooty: Mr. Otter, it's your rich and lucky day. You get to do me a favor.
Ernest: What kind of favor, Mr. Snooty?
Mr. Snooty: I need a reliable family to live in Snooty Mansion while we're gone.
Ernest: Well, if I think of someone, I'll let ya' know.
Mr. Snooty: Uh uh uh. Ernest, there's only one family for the job. Yours.
Ernest: Mine?
Mr. Snooty: I want you and your family to move into Snooty Mansion immediately. Here. (tosses Ernest a phone)
Ernest: Wow. Whoa! Whoa!
Mr. Snooty: You can call me at any time on my exclusive satellite uplink. I'm Hoohaw One, you're Hoohaw Two.
Ernest: (unenthused) Hoohaw One, Hoohaw Two.
Mr. Snooty: You got it! But you won't need it. I've programmed our home computer to handle everything!
Ernest: Got it.
(The Snooties speed away. The Otter family heads to the Snooty Mansion.)
Jelly: This is gonna be great!
Peanut: Yeah, let's do it!
(They open the door and a loud alarm begins clanging. A balloon floats up, broadcasting the intruder alert so loudly that it can probably be heard throughout the whole community of Lake Hoohaw. Bars appear on the doors and windows.)
Alarm: Warning! Warning! Intruder A non-poodle has entered the house!
Ernest: Hoohaw Two calling Hoohaw One. Come in, Hoohaw One! Please!
Mr. Snooty: This is Hoohaw One. How does it feel to be living in poodle heaven, Hoohaw Two?
Ernest: We can't get in. How do we shut off your entrance alarm system?
Mr. Snooty: No problem. Go to the control panel right next to the front door. Open it. Honk the clown nose twice.
(Ernest honks the clown nose twice, "honk, honk!" and the alarm mercifully abates.)
Peanut: Wow. If it's this exciting outside, just imagine how great it's gonna be inside.
Ernest: Everything fine now, Hoohaw One. This is Ernest, I mean Hoohaw Two, signing off. (sound of phone beeping) Huh? Like I said, Mr. Snooty, we're okay now.
Mayor Jeff: No, Ernest, this is Mayor Jeff at Hoohaw Three.
Ernest: It's Mayor Jeff. Mr. Snooty told him to call this number if he hears the alarm at the Snooty Mansion.
Opal: Well, I guess you can tell him everything's under control.
Ernest: Hoohaw Two to Hoohaw Three. Everything's under control here, Mayor Jeff. Now if we can just keep it that way...
Peanut: I'm hungry.
Jelly: Me too.
Butter: Me thwee.
Ernest: Well, then the first thing we'd better do is find the kitchen.
Jelly: It's not this way.
Peanut: Don't see it this way.
Opal: No kitchen this way.
Ernest: (sound of phone beeping) Hoohaw Two calling Hoohaw One. Hate to bother ya', Mr. Snooty, but where's the kitchen?
Mr. Snooty: Which one? The Monday Kitchen, the Tuesday Kitchen...?
Ernest: Which-- whichever one is closest.
Mr. Snooty: Oh. Just look on the map in the hallway. You'll find easy routes to all seven kitchens. Good luck. (sound of phone beeping) Ah, the Grand Poodletopia Hotel.
Ootsie and Bootsie: Ooh.
Mr. Snooty: Too bad we can't stay there.
Ootsie and Bootsie: Awwww!
Mr. Snooty: Sorry. There are no rooms available in the Grand Poodletopia. But I think Camp Survival will be great fun! (Ootsie and Bootsie make a sound of distress.)
Ernest: Now, let's see...
Jelly: I think if we go through the Tuesday TV Room, past the Sunday Solarium, then we might get to the Wednesday Kitchen.
Ernest: Good thinking, Jelly. Follow me, everyone.
Jelly: We found it.
Peanut: Finally.
Butter: Eat! Eat!
Ernest: I'll check what's in the fridge. Hey, how about some nice caviar-basted bones with imported wild mushroom dog sauce?
Peanut, Jelly and Opal: No, thanks! (Butter blows a loud raspberry.)
Peanut: Yuck. But speaking of dogs, I could go for a plain old clamdog right about now.
Jelly: Me too! On a plain old bun. Mmm.
Butter: Me thwee!
Ernest: Uhhhhhhh, ooh. Sorry, ya'll. No clamdogs and no plain old bun.
Ootsie: Plain old clamdogs?
Bootsie: On a plain old bun?
Ootsie and Bootsie: Yuck!
Bootsie: I wonder if there's a caviar takeout in the neighborhood.
(Back at the Poodle Mansion. Peanut and Jelly have managed to locate a bedroom and are settling down for bed.)
Peanut: (yawns widely and loudly) Boy, I'm really sleepy.
Jelly: (yawns the same way) Me too. I just hope I can stay awake until Mom and Dad can tuck us in.
Peanut: (yawns) That won't be too long. I'll bet they'll get Butter right to sleep.
~~~Bedtime Button~~~
[Jelly]
(What's this?)
[Peanut]
(reading "Bedtime button.")
[Peanut and Jelly]
(Huh?)
[Poodle Robots]
When nighttime comes
It's time to sleep
To your bed
Now you must creep
Woof, woof, woof
Good night
Sleep tight.
[Jelly]
(Wow. Was that a nightmare?)
Peanut: Yeah. I can't wait for Mom and Dad to come say a real good night.
Jelly: Me neither. Mom! Daddy!
(sound of owl hooting)
Bootsie: Father should have brought our good night robots.
~~~Wish I Was Home~~~
[Ootsie and Bootsie]
(We'll never get to sleep!)
[Peanut]
I wish I was back in our houseboat
Tucked in my cozy bunk bed
[Jelly]
If this is luxury
The good life's not for me
I wish I was back home instead
[Peanut]
This room's too big
[Jelly]
The bed's too soft
[Peanut]
Nothing here feels right
[Jelly]
Those crazy poodle robots
Gave us such a nasty fright
[Peanut]
With rhinestone-studded pillows
You can't have a pillow fight
[Jelly]
I wish I was home in my own bed tonight
[Bootsie]
I wish I was back in our mansion
Tucked into cool satin sheets
[Ootsie]
Here at Fort Survival
We'll be lucky to survive
I wish we could sound the retreat
[Bootsie]
This tent's too small
[Ootsie]
The ground's too hard
[Bootsie]
The sleeping bag's too tight
[Ootsie]
Our lovely poodle robots
Would be such a welcome sight
[Bootsie]
We left our bones at home
And there's nothing good to bite
[Ootsie]
I wish I was home
In my own bed tonight
[Peanut, Jelly, Ootsie and Bootsie]
Star-light, star-bright
I wish I was home
In my own bed tonight.
(Scene change. It's morning time and Peanut and Jelly have obviously had a rough night.)
Opal: And how did you kids sleep?
Peanut: (yawns) I missed my own bed.
Jelly: Me too.
Butter: Me thwee.
Opal: You'll cheer up if you go play in the toy room. Your father and I will figure out how to make breakfast.
Butter: Play, play!
Jelly: Hmm.
(They head to the toy room and have a lot of fun playing with the toys...)
Peanut: Cool toys!
Jelly: Wow, look at this great play structure!
(Alarm klaxon begins wailing.)
Alarm: Warning! Warning! A non-poodle is trying to play on the poodle play structure!
Jelly: Ahh! We've gotta find Mom and Dad and stop this.
Peanut: Hmm.
Jelly: Mama, Daddy, call Mr. Snooty.
Peanut: He's got to tell us how to turn off the playroom alarms.
Ernest: Honey, have you seen the phone?
Opal: I thought you had it, Ernest.
Ernest: Uh, gotta be here someplace...
(Sound of another alarm klaxon.)
Alarm: Warning! Warning! A non-poodle has entered the kitchen!
Peanut: Oh no! How can we stop these alarms?
Jelly: If there was ever a time for a noodle dance, this is it!
Peanut: But how can we think in all this noise?
Jelly: How can we not think?
(The alarms, thankfully, do not follow the family into the Noodle Dance sequence. Ernest and Opal decide to join in the dance. Peanut stands still, as usual, for about a couple seconds and then joins in the dance.)
Noodle, use your noodle
Noodle, do the noodle dance!
Jelly: I've got it! We can turn off all the electricity.
Ernest: Great idea!
Jelly: But we don't know where the main switch is.
Ernest: I could go look for it, but it might take forever.
Peanut: Maybe we should just go home.
Opal: We can't do that. Your Dad promised Mr. Snooty we'd take care of his mansion.
Peanut: Maybe we could get Mayor Jeff to take over for us. He's got a bone phone too.
Jelly: That's it! Mayor Jeff!
Peanut: I'm glad you agree.
Jelly: No! Mayor Jeff has the Hoohaw Three phone. He can call Dad's Hoohaw Two phone and when it rings, we can find it.
Peanut: And call Mr. Snooty and he'll tell us how to turn off all the alarms. But how do we get Mayor Jeff to call?
Jelly: By setting off the outside alarm system, so he sees the balloon.
Opal: That's using your noodle, Jelly.
Ernest: Come on.
Jelly: Okay, Daddy. Open the front door, just like you did the first time.
(He does and the alarms go off.)
Alarm: Warning! Warning! Intruders! A non-poodle has entered the house!
Jelly: Listen. Do you hear that?
Peanut: It's the Hoohaw Two phone.
Jelly: And it's in your pocket.
Ernest: Oops. Heh. Forgot I put it here.
Mayor Jeff: Hoohaw Two, this is Hoohaw Three. What's wrong at the Snooty Mansion?
Ernest: Mayor Jeff, this is Ernest Otter. Everything's fine, actually. I just had you call me so I could ask you to hang up. Thanks and goodbye.
Mayor Jeff: Well, you're welcome and goodbye. What was that all about?
Ernest: This is Hoohaw Two calling Hoohaw One. How do we turn off every alarm in the house?
Mr. Snooty: No problem, Hoohaw Two. I have a special plan for this situation. Ya' just honk the clown's nose once.
Ernest: Thank you, very much. Hey, you're here!
Jelly: Mr. Snooty, we didn't expect you back so early.
Mr. Snooty: Ootsie and Bootsie insisted we come.
Ootsie: Camp Survival is awful.
Bootsie: The horror!
Ootsie: There's just no place
Bootsie: like home!
(The Otters are back at their houseboat.)
Opal: Everybody comfy?
Peanut: Ootsie and Bootsie were right. There's no place like home.
Jelly: Well, they were kind of right.
Peanut: Kind of?
Jelly: Yeah. There's no place like our home.
Peanut: You sure got that right!
Butter: Home! Home!
(all laugh)

News Galore
I'm figuring out how to make sound files with Windows Movie Maker (WMM), so there's a possibility that I may be ablo to add sound files and/or music videos of the show to this blog. I can't promise anything, though, as I'd have to make sure I was legally safe doing that first.
In other news, the first poll has closed and Scootch is declared the #1 favorite character.
I've started a new poll so you can tell me which transcript you want to see next.
If you look at the last voting option, you'll see that Agent0042 may send me a transcript of it. This, of course, is good news for me, as it's my favorite episode of the show, one which I haven't seen in ages.
If you want to view a video clip of the song, along with other songs from the show, go to this link:
http://amazingtunes.tv/KidsTV/KidsTV/PBJ.html
After e-mailing the person who put these clips on their website, I discovered that he worked on the production of these songs for the show, and Disney gave him the logo free copies of the episodes he worked on. Unfortunately, he can't post them in their entirety.
There is some good news, though. If you look on my YouTube channel (and have a YouTube account, which, for those of you who don't know, is free) and go to the groups section, you'll see I've started a PB&J Otter group. My goal with the group is to have enough people join to finally convince Disney to put the show out on DVD.
Oodelay-O, PB&J fans!

After e-mailing the person who put these clips on their website, I discovered that he worked on the production of these songs for the show, and Disney gave him the logo free copies of the episodes he worked on. Unfortunately, he can't post them in their entirety.
There is some good news, though. If you look on my YouTube channel (and have a YouTube account, which, for those of you who don't know, is free) and go to the groups section, you'll see I've started a PB&J Otter group. My goal with the group is to have enough people join to finally convince Disney to put the show out on DVD.
Oodelay-O, PB&J fans!
