[first lines of the series]
I'll read these books to you when we get home, okay, Corduroy?
[thinking] Okay.
I can carry it.
You sure now?
Uh-huh.
[Lisa's Mom gives Lisa the blue bag with library books as they leave the library]
[After Lisa looses Corduroy on the subway train, Corduroy sits on the man's head]
[thinking] I must be lost. [the subway train is going far away from the station] Oh no, I must be going into a very deep tunnel. I'll be lost forever.
[In Corduroy's imagination, Corduroy looks for Lisa]
Lisa? Lisa? I don't want to be lost forever. [spots a women wearing a red shirt] Yeah! We can leave the tunnel and go...
[The women turns to Corduroy and smiles happily at him]
[gasps; sadly] You're not Lisa.
[Corduroy has a sad expression as he walks away from the women. Then the scene cuts back to realty]
[thinking] If I'm lost, What should I do to get found? If Lisa was here, She know what to do.
[while Lisa heads to the lost and found station, she believes that Corduroy wouldn't be here]
What if Corduroy's not there? [In Lisa's imagination, a responsible girl holds Corduroy] What if Corduroy's been found by a responsible girl with a bigger, nicer, knapsack?
[Corduroy sits on the responsible girl's knapsack. Then the scene cuts back to realty]
[pants] Five more minutes before they close!
[Lisa opens the door and sees children's lost toys]
Hello. Can I help you?
[talking fast] My toy bear Corduroy, I left him behind in the subway car. Corduroy's my responsibility. I should have been keeping an eye on him. [sadly] But I was too...
[arrives the lost and found station] We're looking for a brown bear dressed in green corduroy overalls.
I'll have a look.
[The employer went to find Corduroy. Lisa's Mom holds Lisa's shoulder as Lisa sighs sadly]
I'm sorry. I don't see a (brown) bear with (green) corduroy overalls. Maybe you'd like to come back tomorrow.
[Lisa and Corduroy arrives to an elevator that is completely out of order]
What does the sign say?
[reading the out of order sign] "Out of order. Please use stairs. We apologize for any in... incon..."
[helping Lisa with the spelling] "Inconvenience."
"We apologize for any inconvenience."
[chuckles] I am the one who should be sorry.
Sorry for what?
You're going to have to use the stairs, Lisa. We're doing a safely check on the elevator.
That's okay. See you, Pandro. [races down the stairs]
[After finishing the book Tilly Witch the other book by Don Freeman]
[tries to request a second story] No. Another story? Please?
[Lisa takes the book from Corduroy and is about to put it back on the bookshelf, even though Corduroy wants to read one more story before bedtime.]
Corduroy, we have to go to bed now. Okay?
[still wanting one more story, and does not want to go to bed yet] I don't want to go to bed!
[Lisa picks up Corduroy and puts him into his bear sized bed which is on Lisa's desk. Corduroy insists --and claims-- that he is older and should be older to stay up. That is, as he --Corduroy-- says...!]
I'm older enough to stay up late!
[And Lisa says...!]
Then you're older enough to turn off the light (if you are).
[After Lisa has told Corduroy that if he is bigger to stay up late then he should be bigger to turn out the light, Corduroy tries to think it. He makes his choice whether himself or Lisa should turn it off. When he does not choose in time --by taking too long to think-- Lisa decides for him]
[makes the choice for Corduroy which is "Lisa"] Then I can turn out the light. With a tiny, little, click.
Please don't turn off the light.
Why?
Because...! Because...! Because I am going to read some more.
We will read that book tomorrow night. I promise.
[Lisa means "no more bedtime stories until tomorrow". Then she does turn out the light]
[Lisa went to gets a glass of water for Corduroy after he shares the request to her of being thirsty. Lisa's Mom comes out of her bedroom and sees Lisa still up. Lisa is in the bathroom getting water. Lisa's Mom sees it and wonders why Lisa is still awake]
You are still up?
I am just getting a drink of water, Mom.
Okay. But back to bed.
[Lisa's Mom knows that Lisa has school tomorrow and therefore it has turned out to be a school night.]
It is a school day tomorrow.
Hi.
Corduroy? What are you doing out of bed?
I wanted to make sure that you have turned off the tap so there is no more drip.
[Corduroy, acting like Tilly the witch from the book Tilly Witch the bedtime story book he and Lisa were reading, says he wants to turn off the tap like Tilly. Then he goes over to the sink tap to turn it off like Tilly the witch]
There.
[Corduroy turns off the sink tap.]
No more [mimicking the faucet dripping] drip, drip, dripping.
[Lisa picks up Corduroy and adds her own line like from the said book after Corduroy says, "No more drip, drip, dripping". That is, as she --Lisa-- says...!]
And no more play, play, playing, Corduroy.
[Lisa sings to Corduroy a lullaby. The song she is singing is sung to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". And it is her own version of said song.]
[singing] ♪ Listen Cordy, don't be scared. ♪
♪ I'll make those nightmares disappear. ♪
♪ We'll turn down the blankets. ♪
♪ And we'll them down just right. ♪
♪ Turn to each other and say ♪ [yawns]
♪ "Good night". ♪
Good night, Lisa. [falls fast asleep]
Good night, Corduroy.
[Lisa kisses Corduroy. Then she goes back to bed and turns off the light as the second episode's first half ends.]
[In Corduroy and Buckaroo's imagination, they're both going on a snow ride in the North Pole. The two "preschool child aged" toys pretend it by using the dust pan in the linen closet.]
♪ Snowflakes ♪
♪ Riding through the snowflakes ♪
Giddy up!
[Buckaroo keeps riding through the snow. Buckaroo is pretending to be one of the horses at the North Pole. He and Corduroy are in their imagination that they are in the North Pole. The scene then cuts back into reality. Back in reality, Lisa comes home and looks into the messy linen closet caused by Corduroy and Buckaroo who are still playing in it pretending to play in the snow with the linen things. Then she --offscreen-- catches them. The scene soon cuts to her from the door to the linen closet.]
[gasps] Corduroy, Buckaroo!
[Lisa finds them playing in the linen closet with the linen things.]
What a mess! What happened?
[Corduroy and Buckaroo stop playing. They then stare at Lisa and the mess with embarrassed smiles on their faces after what they were doing to the linen equipment to act out like they were at the North Pole.]
[trying to confess] Ummm…! Uh...!
[to Corduroy and Buckaroo about the mess they have made] (Well?) "Ummm…!", what? Come on, you two. Help me clean this up, (both of you).
[Lisa picks up a paper roll.]
Boy, (it looks like) someone is going to be in big trouble.
[When Lisa has said, "Someone is going to be in big trouble", it turns out that both Corduroy and Buckaroo are in trouble. Because they both indeed made the mess in the linen room.]
[looks in the closet and lists what has to be done as Corduroy and Buckaroo were playing with the linen things and caused the mess] Bath towels need refolding, the toilet paper needs rerolling.
[As Corduroy and Buckaroo are helping Lisa clean up the linen room as they've made the mess in the linen room, Buckaroo puts the towel back on the shelf and picks up the dust pan and hangs it back up. They also refold the bath towels, then reroll the toilet paper]
Tell Lisa that we made the mess.
[is afraid to tell Lisa the truth] But she is going to get mad.
Ooh...! But we HAVE to tell her.
[putting the laundry soap into the laundry soap box] Come on, help me! Mom is going to be coming home any minute now.
[whispers through Buckaroo's ear] What if we make up a story?
You mean lie? Oh, I don't know. That doesn't sound right.
Why did Kit not chase after Rosetta?
Uh-oh.
[Rosetta --about the lie-- realizes she was tricked and blamed.]
And what is this?! (None of this was Kit and I!) That cat, he NEVER chases me!
[Corduroy was lying when he said that Kit and Rosetta made the mess in the linen room even though it was him and Buckaroo. He and Buckaroo were playing in it, then he fibbed about it. Therefore, Rosetta is telling the truth; really it was not her. Lisa --on the other hand-- believes Rosetta when Rosetta says it was not her and Kit who made the mess. But she becomes concerned about Corduroy's lie.]
[confused] I don't get it. Corduroy told me. And...!
[Lisa looks at Corduroy. She knows that he was lying even though it was him and Buckaroo who made that mess in the linen room.]
[turns to Corduroy] Corduroy...?!
[buries his face in his paws] I lied, Lisa! I did it. I messed up the closet!
I was there too.
But it was my idea to lie, not Buckaroo's.
[It turns out that the only person who was telling the truth was Rosetta.]
[to Lisa when she told her she was not in the linen room with Corduroy and Buckaroo] Well, I was not there (in the first place)! And I did not make any mess!
[Rosetta turns to Corduroy and Buckaroo after Corduroy lied about her making the mess and after she was tricked and blamed.]
[to Corduroy] Shame on you!
[Rosetta wheels herself away. She was telling the truth. But she gets away with it because it wasn't her who made the mess. Corduroy buries his face in his paws again. Lisa walks to Corduroy who is feeling quite guilty.]
[takes Corduroy's paws off his eyes then has a word with Corduroy when he didn't tell the truth in the first place] Why didn't you tell me the truth when I asked?
[Soon Lisa comforts Corduroy.]
[sadly] I was scared you'd get mad at me.
But you made me think it was all Kit's fault, and that wasn't right. Things get worse if you don't tell the truth.
[apologizing to Lisa about the lie he told] I'm sorry, Lisa.
You must be saying sorry to Kit, not me.
[Kit watches the rain while Corduroy put the cat dish to the kitchen]
Sorry I got you into trouble, Kit. [Kit has a happy expression] I'd be mad at me too.
[Corduroy walks away sadly as Kit follows him]
I'm sorry, I'll never lie about anything again. Promise.
[Corduroy and Kit walk to the sofa]
Tomorrow we'll go exploring. Or hide and seek is good. We could draw or maybe walk around the neighborhood. Or we could just sit and... [yawns] ...think.
[Corduroy falls fast asleep. Lisa watches Corduroy and Kit sleep on the sofa as the episode ends]
[In Lisa's room, Lisa and Corduroy are folding sheets while finishing their chores]
Just a few more, Corduroy. And all our chores will be finished. [puts a purple sheet among with other sheet who already been folded]
[jumps up and down on Lisa's bed] What's a chore? [Lisa picks up a white sheet] Whee!
[explains to Corduroy what does a chore do] Work.
But is this work?
Kind of. But it doesn't have to be.
[Corduroy stops jumping on Lisa's bed as Lisa puts the white sheet down]
Get on.
[Corduroy sits down on the white sheet. Lisa grabs both sides of the sheet and use it as a trampoline so Corduroy can have more fun jumping]
[giggling; while bouncing on the white sheet as it pretends to be a trampoline] This must be a trampoline. I've always wanted to jump on a trampoline.
[Lisa and Corduroy begin to laugh for joy]
[In Corduroy's imagination, Corduroy walks past a sign that leads to the North Pole]
The North Pole must be very cold or else all this ice cream will melt. [sees the giant ice cream cones] Ice cream cones, ice cream sundaes, ice cream floats. Mmm. This must be a dream. I'm dreaming of ice cream.
[While Lisa does not have any ice cream, Lisa's Mom still thinks that there should be a proper snack for winter --but not ice cream since it is in fact a summer treat. That is as she --Lisa's Mom-- says...!]
Lisa, really. A mug of hot cocoa (with marshmallows) should make more sense.
[What Lisa's mom said, it is true. A mug of hot cocoa with marshmallows is indeed a proper treat for winter. Lisa should maybe try ice cream for real summer days. But since it is winter, she should choose some sort of a "winter type treat" like hot chocolate.]
[Lisa's Mom finds Lisa's toys in the hallway making her think that Lisa had forgot to put her toys away when she was off to school.]
[to Corduroy, Buckaroo, and Rosetta] Lisa knows better than to leave her toys in the hallway.
