I have been talking with my friends, and we've come up with more episode ideas:
Hiccup and At 'Em:
Scootch gets the hiccups and everyone tries to find a way to cure them. However, none of their ideas are working.
Notes:
- This episode is paired with the episode below.
- Scootch appologizes for each hiccup.
The Mysterious Sleepwalker:
Munchy has a problem. Every night, he walks in his sleep and unknowingly causes chaos on Lake Hoohaw. Everyone tries to find a way to stop this, but how can they break something like that?
Notes:
- This is a sequel to Munchy's No Big Deal.
- Flick dreams of fighting crime with Mallard Man in some scenes.
Stuck on Jelly:
Scootch starts to develop a crush on Jelly, but he gets nervous around her.
Notes:
- This is paired with the episode below.
Babysitting Gone Wild:
Wanda (Pinch and Scootch's mom) asks Pinch to watch Scootch for the day while she's at work. But Pinch attends Ballet School that same day. With that, she asks Jelly to babysit Scootch for her. Jelly accepts, but can she handle it?
Notes:
- This takes place after the episode before.
The New Neighbors:
A family of squirrels moves into Lake Hoohaw, but everyone is hesitant to get to know them, thus they start making up rumors about them.
Notes:
- The names of the Squirrel family are:
Father: Scott Squirrel
Mother: Sarah Squirrel
Sister 1: Samantha Squirrel
Sister 2: Sophie Squirrel
Brother 1: Sammy Squirrel
Brother 2: Steve Squirrel
- This is a double-length episode.
Scootch's Birthday:
Scootch is very excited because today is his birthday. But one of the characters* has forgotten about it.
*We're going to have a vote on who forgets his birthday!
Notes:
- This is the first time we see Scootch's birthday celebrated.
- This is paired with the episode below.
Wrestlemania:
Flick sees wrestling on TV and decides that he wants to become a wrestler himself. His friends try to show him how crazy that idea is.
Notes:
- This is the first time there has ever been wrestling in the show. (The violence in the wrestling is extremely toned down for obvious reasons)
Munchy Hearts Art:
Everybody is painting their own pictures. They all like each other's paintings--except for Munchy's. They unintentionally make him feel bad about his painting, so he vows to never paint another thing again.
Notes:
- This is paired with the below episode.
- This is the first time everyone has been shown painting in a group.
Make Way for the Bully:
Peanut encounters a bully named "Horseradish" on Lake Hoohaw one day. He doesn't go away, so he has to figure out how to deal with him.
Notes:
- This is the first time an actual bully is shown in the show.
I'm Not Peanut:
Peanut gets a bump on his head and gets the idea that he is Jelly. The others try to figure out how to get him to realize that he is not Jelly and restore his memory.
Notes:
- Peanut says a lot of the things that Jelly would normally throughout the period of time in the episode that he thinks he's Jelly.
- This is paired with the below episode.
Scootch's Beginnings:
Everyone recalls the day that the Raccoons moved into Lake Hoohaw and how they didn't like Scootch at first, but Butter convinced them that he wasn't as bad as they thought he was.
Notes:
- Sequel to Bubbles' Beginnings.
Without Scootch:
Scootch has done so much damage lately that Pinch decides that she wishes she never had a little brother. That night, she has a dream where she lives with Wanda and Walter as an only child.
Notes:
- This is the first time we see a chacter's dream for an extended period of time.
- This a double-length episode.
Whew! That's a lot of episodes. It took me forever to type this up. There are more my friends and I have come up with, but I'll get to posting those later because I've got other stuff I need to do.
Oodelay, PB&J fans!

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

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

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

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

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

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