Scenes with Lisa 52
[In the kitchen from Moppy's place, Moppy haven't touched nor eaten his "Sloppy Toppy" sandwich because he was feeling rather upset when Lisa called him a bad name; which was "Sloppy Toppy". Lisa opens the door and finds Moppy sitting on the kitchen table all alone]
LLisa
Hi, Moppy, can I come in?
[Lisa closes the door and sits on a kitchen table chair]
LLisa
You hardly touched your sandwich (you made for yourself).
I don't feel like eating.
LLisa
I know what you mean. [apologizing Moppy] I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. [tells Moppy that she will not call him "Sloppy Toppy" again] I won't call you "Sloppy Toppy" ever again.
[apologizing Lisa that he will not call her "Lisa Pizza" anymore] And I won't call you "Lisa Pizza" anymore.
[Lisa smiles at Moppy. In Lisa's room, Buckaroo is looking outside the window all alone. Corduroy peeks from Lisa's bedroom door and finds Buckaroo all alone]
[thinks that Corduroy is still calling him a bad name; which was "Stuckaroo"] What did you say?
You're not going to call me, that name anymore?
No more (bad) name calling. [apologizing Buckaroo] Sorry.
[apologizing Corduroy for calling him a bad name earlier; which was "Boo-Boo Head"] Well, I shouldn't have called you a Boo-Boo Head.
LSLisa's Mom
[reminds Lisa to add carrots to the list while checking the refrigerator] Could you add carrots please?
LLisa
[spelling the word, "Carrots"] C-A-R-R-O-T-S. Carrots, got it!
LSLisa's Mom
And we're going to need more eggs if we're going to make those cupcakes!
LLisa
[spelling the word, "Eggs"] E-G-G-S. Eggs. Mom, if we're going to make cupcakes, maybe we should get some candy sprinkles to put on top?
LSLisa's Mom
[laughs] Okay. [closes the refrigerator door] I guess you better add those too. That's it then, let's get a move on.
LLisa
I'm bringing Corduroy. Be right back! [leaves the kitchen to get Corduroy]
LLisa
Oooh, brrr. Lucky you've got fur, it's kind of cold here. [went to get a carton of eggs]
[thinking] There's food everywhere! It's not a supermarket, it's a super duper market! Where do they get all this food?
LLisa
From a whole bunch of farms.
CCorduory
[thinking] I've always wanted to visit a farm.
[In Lisa and Corduroy's imagination, a herd of cows are eating grass. One cow moos]
LLisa
[off-screen] On the farm, there would be cows.
[off-screen] Lots of cows! [mimics a cow mooing] Oh, and some chickens!
[In the red barn, some chickens are pecking for food]
LCLisa and Corduroy
[singing "Lisa and Cordy had a farm"; their own version of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"] ♪ Lisa and Cordy had a farm, ♪
♪ E-I-E-I-O! ♪
LLisa
♪ And on their farm they had some chickens, ♪
[off-screen] ♪ E-I-E-I-O! ♪
LLisa
♪ With a cluck cluck here, ♪
♪ With a cluck cluck there, ♪
LCLisa and Corduroy
[together] ♪ Everywhere a cluck cluck! ♪
♪ Lisa and Cordy had a farm, ♪
♪ E-I-E-I-O! ♪
[Lisa and Corduroy as farmers leave the barn with a basket full of eggs]
LSLisa's Mom
You have to be more careful. [seriously; about the floor that is wet and slippery] A wet floor is a slippery floor.
LLisa
Don't worry, we're okay. Right, Cordy?
LSLisa's Mom
I'm glad you're okay, Lisa. [points to that old lady who is not being careful] But what if you caused that lady to slip and fall? Remember, better safe and sorry.
[off-screen; seeing the bear-shape peanut butter jar] Mmm, peanut butter!
[Corduroy stood up in the cart and tries to peanut butter. He stops and sees one that looked exactly like him]
[giggling] The jars look just like me!
[Lisa blinks her eyes as she watches Corduroy trying to get the peanut butter. Corduroy grabs the jar but loses his blanace]
[Lisa gasps in horror when her teddy bear needed help. She quickly catches him in her hands before he and the peanut butter falls to the floor]
LLisa
[catches Corduroy as he's still holding the peanut butter] I've got you!
And I got the peanut butter!
[Corduroy and Lisa begin to laugh as Lisa puts Corduroy back on the cart so he care be more careful. Then Corduroy hands the peanut butter to Lisa]
LLisa
Can we get some peanut butter, please? For Corduroy?
LSLisa's Mom
Only if he promises to share.
[thinking] Being safe is better than being sorry.
LLisa
From now on, we are going to do things the safe way. Then we won't have to be sorry.
[thinking] What more could a bear ask for?
[after his friends can't play with him today] Why don't they want to play with me (today)? [pause] I must be sad. I don't like being sad.
[In Corduroy's flashback, he was sitting on a toy shelf in the toy store surrounding by toys who were also on the shelf with him. This part is loosely from the Don Freeman book; Corduroy from the Corduroy book series]
[voice over] I used to sad when I lived in the toy store (back then). I waited everyday (and everynight) for somebody to take me home. Then, one day---
LLisa
[off-screen] Mom, look! [on-screen] That's the very bear I've always wanted.
LSLisa's Mom
Not today, dear. I've spend too much already. [about Corduroy who doesn't look like new because he's missing a button from one of the shoulder straps] Besides he doesn't look new. [off-screen] He's lost the button to one of his shoulder straps.
LLisa
[gets Corduroy out of the toy shelf] But he's got sparkly eyes [off-screen] and a real nice smile. [on-screen] He's perfect. [to her mother] I've saved up my own money. Can't I buy him, please?
[In Lisa's room, Lisa opens her bedroom door and welcomes Corduroy to his new home]
LLisa
[welcoming Corduroy to her bedroom from her place in the apartment] Welcome to your new home, Corduroy.
[Corduroy was surprised when he sees Lisa's room for the very first time]
[off-screen] Wow! [on-screen; turns to Lisa and hugs her] You must be a friend, I've always wanted a friend.
LLisa
[happily; to Corduroy] Me too!
[Back in the present day, Corduroy started to sniff sadly as he begins sobbing]
[becomes heartbroken as tears rolls down his cheeks] Maybe nobody wants to be friends with me anymore. [closes the linen closet door]
[In the final episode of the TV series, what Lisa's Mom states to Lisa, it refers to the first episode from way back in the start of the said series. That is, which was "Lost and Found". After all, this episode "Finders Keepers / Between the Covers" is the final episode of the series.]
LSLisa's Mom
[to Lisa] Do you remember the time when you lost Corduroy?
LLisa
Yes. The subway conductor found Cordy and took him to the lost and found.
LSLisa's Mom
How would you have felt if that conductor decided to keep Corduroy for himself?
LLisa
I guess you are right, Mom.
LSLisa's Mom
[about J.R] Let's check J.R's collar again. Sometimes an owner might put some identification on the other side of a pet's tag. [checks the other side of J.R's tag] Here we go. A phone number.
[Although Lisa had not known who J.R the dog belonged to, Lisa's Mom checks the other side of J.R's collar. The other side of the collar shows his correct owner's name and the phone number to call if he gets lost. Lisa's Mom goes over to the telephone to call the phone number]
[In Lisa's room, Lisa is reading the last lines and pages of the story "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" --a story from her library book.]
LLisa
[reading] And Baby Bear said, "Somebody's been sleeping in my bed! And she still is!". Goldilocks, woke up at once. And she saw three bears all staring down at her. "AAAAH!", screamed Goldilocks. She jumped out of Baby Bear's bed and ran out the door. And she never was seen again. Papa Bear and Mama Bear spooned some of the leftover porridge (from the porridge pot). And they put it into Baby Bear's empty bowl (after Goldilocks ate up all his porridge). Then the happy bears (who never saw Goldilocks again), they all sat down to breakfast. At last, everything was just right. (As for Goldilocks, from that day on, she never touched anything that didn't belong to her.)
[Lisa and Corduroy have finished their story. Indeed, according to the story --and at the end-- after Goldilocks left the bears's house, she --from then on-- never touched things that didn't belong to her again. She stopped being stubborn, traded in her tricks, and did exactly what her parents told her. As for the three bears, they put a lock on their door. And they never knew what a favor they had done for Goldilocks. In fact, they --the bears-- never saw her again. After they finish reading it, Lisa closes the book at looks at her plate of chocolate chip cookies. She finds her chocolate chip cookies almost all gone. It's just one half eaten chocolate chip cookie on the cookie plate. This is like the part from the said story --the part where Goldilocks ate up Baby Bear's porridge. As a result, Lisa and Corduroy are in a short act out from the said story in Lisa's room before going to bed. Corduroy --had all along-- eaten Lisa's cookies. That is, just like how Goldilocks from the story ate up Baby Bear's porridge.]
LLisa
[recites a line from her story as she pretends to be like Baby Bear] Hey! (My chocolate chip cookies!) Somebody has been tasting my cookies! (And it's all gone!)
[Corduroy cleans and dusts off the cookie crumbs away by using his paw after tasting Lisa's cookies and eating almost all of them like in "Goldilocks and the Three Bears".]
LLisa
[pretends to be like Baby Bear] Somebody has been drinking my milk! And there is hardly any left!
[giggling; has pretended to be Goldilocks when he ate up Lisa's cookies and drank up her milk] (It was me!) Just like in "Goldilocks and the Three Bears"! (Just like how Goldilocks did this to Baby Bear in the said story! She ate up all of Baby Bear's porridge, broke his chair, and slept in his bed!)
LLisa
[makes her own version of the said story; calling it "Lisa Locks and the Cordy Bear"] It should be "Lisa-Locks and the Cordy Bear".
[As a result, Lisa has replaced the word "Goldilocks" and "Three Bears" in "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" with "Lisa Locks" and "Cordy Bear" respectively and repronounces and renames the title "Lisa Locks and the Cordy Bear". In the imagined flashback, Lisa --who is pretending to be Goldilocks and is "Lisa Locks"-- her long hair is down and has curls. That is, just like how Goldilocks had her blonde hair in curls.]
