Scenes with Corduroy 45

LSLisa's Mom

Hi, Mrs. Cho.

CMrs. Cho

[to Lisa's Mom] Good morning.

[Mrs. Cho tells Lisa's Mom of how she found Lisa's toys --Corduroy, Rosetta and Buckaroo-- in the elevator.]

CMrs. Cho

I think Lisa forgot her toys. They were in the elevator.

[Corduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo are sitting on Mrs. Cho's shopping trolley.]

LSLisa's Mom

But (as I recall), the last time I looked, they were right there (in the hallway after Lisa left for school)!

[Lisa's Mom still looks at them, still wondering how Lisa's toys --Corduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo-- were "left out" while Lisa was at school. True to what she says, as she recalls, she saw the toys in the hallway.]

LSLisa's Mom

[laughs] It is not as if they can walk out on their own!

[Lisa's Mom knows that toys strictly speaking do not go out to places on their own from any child's bedroom --like Lisa's-- then picks up the toys.]

LSLisa's Mom

Thanks, Mrs. Cho (for finding Lisa's toys).

CMrs. Cho

You're welcome.

[Later, the scene cuts to where Lisa's Mom takes Corduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo back to Lisa's room. She is still thinks that Lisa forgot to put her toys away, then she puts them on the bed.]

LSLisa's Mom

[to Corduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo] Now you stay put. All right, Corduroy? I don't want Lisa thinking her own mom can't take care of her toys.

[She leaves the bedroom.]

CCorduroy

[thinking] I hope Lisa likes her surprise.

[Rosetta has tagged along with Corduroy, Lisa, and Moppy. That is, since the beginning of the episode. It has even been seen onscreen too. Scene first cuts to the ducks. As for Rosetta, as the viewers see her, she is in the shirt section of Corduroy's overalls and --possibly-- tickling in Corduroy's overalls. She did this to Corduroy when he --Corduroy-- put her --Rosetta-- in his overalls. That is, as she was in Corduroy's overalls --which he uses as a "pocket area" for Rosetta while at the public.]

The poor ducklings, they are stranded out there.

[Cut to Corduroy]

CCorduroy

[thinking] Why are they not swimming Lisa?

[Lisa approaches to Corduroy.]

CCorduroy

They want to swim. But they can't because the water is so dirty.

[thinking --and from Corduroy's overalls] It is not only because the water is dirty. It's also because people have been putting dirt into the water.

[Rosetta smiles with a white toothed smile and with lipstick on her lips.]

Wouldn't it be great, Cordy, if we got the pond so clean, even we could swim in it?

[Rosetta pops out of Corduroy's overalls shirt section and reminds him to take her out of his overalls top section before swimming. And she says...!]

[to Corduroy] Just remember to take me out of your pocket before you do any swimming.

[Rosetta goes back into Corduroy's overalls]

CCorduroy

I will, Rosetta.

And we'll have to make sure you're wearing your water wings, Cordy. [sighs] I could just see it. The pond will look the best ever.

[In Lisa and Corduroy's imagination, the pond looks shiny clean and the animals like ducks, lizards, turtles, frogs, salamanders, and bugs --like dragonflies-- are enjoying their clean home. The camera zooms over to Lisa and Corduroy who were swimming in the pond]

LCLisa and Corduroy

[laughing]

[A mallard and his ducklings swim past Lisa and Corduroy]

CCorduroy

I must be swimming. I've always wanted to swim. [to a duckling] Just like you! Quack, quack.

[A duckling swims around Lisa]

[laughs] Quack, quack, cheep, cheep.

[A duckling swims back to Corduroy]

CCorduroy

[laughs] They have water wings just like us!

[They both begin to laugh as the duckling flaps his wings]

[Lisa and Corduroy looks the clean pond while Moppy goes fishing. He picks ups some pieces of trail mix and eats it. Lisa eats trail mix too and the ducklings arrived]

CCorduroy

[thinking] Looks like we made some new friends.

[off-screen] Yeah.

CCorduroy

[thinking] The pond is so clean. Can we go swimming now?

I think we better stick to sharing our snacks with the ducks for now, Cordy.

[The camera zooms out of the clean pond as the episode ends]

[Corduroy and Rosetta gets the radio out of Lisa's bed]

Voila! I told you there was a radio under there.

CCorduroy

Was it hiding, Rosetta?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Lisa must have forgotten it. But now we have found it, alors. [turns her back and then tries to turn on the radio] Oh. Oh! [shakes her head] Ahem. Corduroy? A winding, if you please.

[Corduroy picks up Rosetta and winds her up turning her wind up key. He puts Rosetta down --after winding up her key-- and Rosetta pushes a button on the radio and the orchestra music plays. Now Corduroy and Rosetta are dancing to the music. They are acting like dancers]

CCorduroy

[while dancing to the music] This must be a concert. I've always wanted to go to a concert.

[In Corduroy's imagination, Corduroy imagines that he and Rosetta are the music conductors. And Corduroy gives the orchestra band some wonderful music. A lady plays a tuba, Seven men plays the bass, A women and her husband plays the flute and a brown man plays the trumpet. Corduroy keeps playing some wonderful music. Back in reality, Lisa comes home and turns off the radio causing Corduroy and Rosetta to stop dancing]

CCorduroy

[finds out why Lisa turns off the music] Why has the music stopped?

Lisa, you turned off the radio.

There's much better music to listen to.

CCorduroy

[points to the radio that played the song which he and Rosetta were dancing to and says to Lisa that he and Rosetta like that music] But I like that music!

No, this music is much better, Corduroy. Trust me. [turns on her other radio but makes jazzy music] Ew! [changes the radio channel but makes country music this time] Ew, yuck! [one radio channel has piano music] Uh-uh. [founds a radio channel that has dance music] There, that's more like it. [shakes her head]

CCorduroy

But why do we have to like only one kind of music?

[about the same music Lisa likes] You mean: "Why do we have to likes only the same music Lisa likes?".

That's not true. [to Corduroy and Rosetta] Oh, go ahead. [gives Corduroy and Rosetta the radio] Listen to what you want.

♪ Row, row, row your boat, ♪

♪ Gently down the stream. ♪

♪ Merrily, merrily... ♪

[Moppy stops pulling the toy boat]

Huh?

[Moppy sees a girl playing her electronic motor boat. The electronic motor boat drives fast through the water while a girl controls it with a remote control]

Hey, cool! [ties the end of the rope to a rock] Be right back, Corduroy.

[Corduroy watches Moppy runs to a girl and then sings "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"]

CCorduroy

[while shaking Moppy's boat] ♪ Row, row, row your boat, ♪

♪ Gently down the stream. ♪

♪ Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, ♪

♪ Life is but a dream. ♪

♪ Row, row, row your boat, ♪

♪ Gently down the stream. ♪

♪ Merrily, merrily... ♪

[Suddenly, the knot becomes lose and Corduroy floats away on Moppy's boat]

CCorduroy

I must be floating away.

[Corduroy is still floating away on Moppy's boat and looks excited. He looks at the refection of himself until four grey fish appeared]

CCorduroy

Hi, fishies! I don't have any food for you. We haven't had our picnic yet!

[The four grey fishes dived into the water and Corduroy looks at the view of the park]

CCorduroy

The pond must be taking me somewhere. I wonder where I'm going. [the flying disc lands on the water and the golden retriever swims through the water, picks ups the flying disc and swam back to shore] Ohh!

[The golden retriever shakes off all the water]

LLady

Ahh!

CCorduroy

Whew! That must have been a wave. A really big wave!

[The lady throws the flying disc and the golden retriever runs after it. The black haired man and his daughter are wearing life jackets on the boat]

CCorduroy

Maybe I should wear a life jacket too, just in case. There's one on the boat. [founds a floatie] Here it is! [takes the floatie and puts it on] That's better.

[Moppy's toy boat floats in the middle of the pond]

[Lisa and Corduroy are washing their hands in the kitchen]

We have to clean our hands and paws before we start!

[Lisa accidentally squirts water on Corduroy]

CCorduroy

[laughs] Hey!

[giggles] Oops!

Okay! This is going to be great!

CCorduroy

[off-screen] What's that?

It's Lisa's Lip-Smacking Lemonade. [smacks her lips]

CCorduroy

[while Lisa adds sugar to the lemonade] Maybe you should measure the sugar before you put it in.

Ohh! What's one or two spoons, huh?

CCorduroy

That's looks like a lot of sugar!

Now, here we've got some leftover macaroni, [dumps the uncook macaroni into the bowl] so I'm going to make a pasta salad. But first, I have to make the dressing.

[Lisa takes the soy sauce, the vinegar and the other dressing out of the shelf]

[off-screen] Okay, vineger [pows the drop of vineger into the bowl] Soy sauce, [pows the drop of soy sauce into the bowl] Oh, Mom's favorite, hot peppers! [put the hot peppers into the bowl and then the coconut and the chocolate chips] Uh, coconut, chocolate chips. Hmm, prune juice. [on-screen] Never tried that before, but I bet it's really good. [pows the drop of prune juice into the bowl]

[Lisa and Moppy's kite crash together]

LMLisa and Moppy

[gasp]

[The broken kites fall into the tree]

Look what you did!

Me? Your kite bumped into mine!

It did not!

Did too!

Did not!

Did too!

Did not!

CCorduroy

Uh oh, Looks like big trouble.

CCorduroy

What is a dinosaur?

Dinosaurs, they lived millions of years ago. And they were very big.

CCorduroy

Even bigger than Buckaroo?

[Buckaroo lets out a neigh in response.]

They were a lot bigger than Buckaroo.

[In Lisa and Corduroy's imagination --which is to the prehistoric world-- they both meet Stegosaurus again and this time he's perfect. As for the "age of dinosaurs" subject, the "age of dinosaurs" is really Lisa and Corduroy's imagination from the dinosaur book. So Lisa and Corduroy are really in her dinosaur book --from the library-- meaning that they are just pretending like they are so. The Stegosaurus is actually Lisa and Corduroy's model dinosaur in disguise and not a real dinosaur. The period of time they are in right now is the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. That is, since the Tyrannosaurus Rex is also encountered too.]

CCorduroy

Are you still wobbly?

SStegosaurus

Nope! See? [shows his perfect parts]

Are you still cold?

SStegosaurus

Not anymore. Feel my skin! So soft and warm! [Lisa and Corduroy feels Stegosaurus' skin and Stegosaurus begin to laugh] That tickles! [off-screen] Would you like to hear me roar?

CCorduroy

Sure! Go ahead!

[Stegosaurus roars loudly as a flock of pterosaurs fly away. The pterosaurs were a Pterodactylus. Indeed, the pterosaur Pterodactylus lived in the Jurassic period. But while it was a flying reptile and not a dinosaur, it did live in the same period of time as the Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, and Stegosaurus. Pterosaurs lived at the same time as the dinosaurs. The Brachiosaurus was seen in Lisa's dinosaur book. The Diplodocus was encountered by Lisa and Corduroy earlier.]

SStegosaurus

[laughs] I can roar even louder If you like.

[Lisa and Corduroy look at each other]

That's okay.

SStegosaurus

Maybe you like to go for a ride.

CCorduroy

A ride?

Sure!

SStegosaurus

Just watch out for my back and tail. They're pointy.

[Lisa and Corduroy hop on Stegosaurus' back and Stegosaurus walks away with Lisa and Corduroy]

[In Corduroy's imagination, he went to a dark, cool cave until he meet a friendly bear.]

CCorduroy

Uh, hello?

BBear

[gasping] You're a bear!

CCorduroy

Uh-huh! [gulps] You're not going to eat me, are you?

BBear

No, of course not. I thought you might like to sit and have some tea and muffins with me. [sighs sadly] Oh, it's because I look scary, isn't it?

CCorduroy

Are you?

BBear

No! I'm perfectly nice! [off-screen] I've been practicing laughing and smiling, [on-screen] so if anyone came and visited me in my dark, cool cave, they wouldn't be afraid! But hardly anybody anybody ever comes to visit me. [growling] See why?

CCorduroy

Uh-huh.

BBear

You don't think I look scary?

CCorduroy

Well, at first I did. Talking to you, I know you're not scary. Not scary at all!

BBear

[looking at a refection of himself] What's inside is what counts, right?

CCorduroy

[to Bear] That's right!

Corduroy, you silly bear!

CCorduroy

[pretends to be a real bear] Roar!

[sees that Corduroy was imitating a real bear roaring] We can play later, Cordy, but first I have to get this tent set up. Moppy's going to be here any minute.

CCorduroy

Moppy's coming here?

[while finishing setting up the tent] He's staying for a sleepover.

CCorduroy

[peeks into the tent] A sleepover? [walks to Lisa] I want to have a sleepover, too!

Okay, you can have the bedroom.

CCorduroy

[jumps for joy] Yay, I'm going to have a sleepover! [giggling] Lisa?

Yes?

CCorduroy

What's a sleepover?

[explains to Corduroy about a sleepover] It's kinda of like a party, where your friends come over and stay all night. You get to play games and stay up late.

CCorduroy

That sounds like fun! I know who I'm going to have at my sleepover! [leaves Lisa's tent while giggling]

[Lisa went to her bedroom until she realizes Corduroy is having his own sleepover]

[thinks Corduroy, Buckaroo, and Rosetta are in her room --though they had gone out to Lisa's tent] On second thought, maybe Cordy did want to have his own sleepover. Then maybe I shouldn't bother him. [yawns]

[Lisa turns her back to the bedroom door and went to the living room until she finds Corduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo in her tent]

[off-screen; to Corduroy, Buckaroo, and Rosetta] What are you (three) doing here?

CCorduroy

[about why he, Buckaroo, and Rosetta could not sleep even though he wanted to have his own sleepover] We missed you!

[also about why he couldn't sleep] We couldn't get to sleep!

[adds her reason about not being able to get to sleep] Je ne comprends pas! I do not understand!

[Rosetta notes that she tried singing Corduroy a lullaby to help him go to sleep but that didn't work.]

Even my singing (on a lullaby) did not help!

[tells them that they may not be ready to have their sleepovers yet] Maybe you're not ready to sleep on your own yet.

CRCorduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo

Mmm-hmm.

[Corduroy, Buckaroo, and Rosetta nod as they are now part of Lisa's sleepover. Later, the scene cuts to the living room --shown where Lisa and her toys Corduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo are in the tent. Lisa and her toys play with Lisa's make believe planetarium pretend to look at the stars and constellations. Lisa shows her toys the star constellations with her make-believe planetarium. This is shown on the black sheet that she had showed Moppy. They are having a short time playing or "short use" with the planetarium to see the stars before bedtime.]

[showing Rosetta a constellation] Do you see that group of stars, Rosetta? [off-screen] That's Cassiopeia. But I think she looks more like a mouse.

[Cassiopeia's nose twinkles. Rosetta --when she sees the mouse constellation-- reacts to it.]

Did you hear that? I look just like a queen!

[showing Buckaroo a constellation] Do you see that group of stars over there, Buckaroo? That's Pegasus the Horse.

[Pegasus's right eye twinkles. Pegasus the horse does look like Buckaroo the rocking horse. Buckaroo --when he sees the Pegasus the Horse constellation-- mimics a real horse neighing.]

I like that one!

CCorduroy

Is there a bear anywhere?

[shows Corduroy two constellations] Actually, there are two bears. [off-screen] There's Ursa Minor --he's the little bear. And that one over there, that's Ursa Major --he's the big bear.

[Lisa shows out the final two constellations before everyone goes to bed.]

CCorduroy

[to Lisa about the bear constellations --Ursa Minor and Ursa Major] Someday, I'm going to be a big bear. Right, Lisa?

[After the last constellation, Lisa puts the flashlight down, turns off the flashlight and takes down the black sheet planetarium so everyone stops playing and are led to go to bed. Corduroy is now in bed has told himself he is going to be a big bear like Ursa Minor and Ursa Major]

[tucks Corduroy into bed] You're already a big bear, Cordy.

CCorduroy

Good night, Lisa.

Sleep tight, Cordy.

[Lisa, Corduroy, Rosetta, and Buckaroo are fallen fast asleep. Then the curtains closed the tent as the episode ends]
