Scenes with Corduroy 45

[In Lisa's room, Corduroy is riding on Buckaroo]

CCorduroy

Giddy up! [laughs]

[Lisa enters her room and finds Corduroy who is rocking Buckaroo too fast]

Corduroy? What are you doing?

CCorduroy

I'm riding on Buckaroo! [stops rocking Buckaroo]

How many times have I told you not to rock so fast?

[sighs; tells Lisa about her warning about Corduroy not rocking him too fast] I've tried telling him. (And he won't just listen.)

You're going to have to be more careful or else you're going to --ow-- hurt yourself.

CCorduroy

What's wrong?

I have a toothache.

CCorduroy

Can't you get it fixed?

I think I'll wait for it to get better on its own. [finds some library books] Oh, I left some books in the living room. Be right back, Cordy. Mom's taking us to the library. [leaves her bedroom and close the door]

CCorduroy

Okay, giddy up, Buckaroo!

But Lisa said... Oh, all right.

CCorduroy

Faster! You can do it! [falls off Buckaroo] Whoa! Ow!

[gasps; to Corduroy] Are you all right?

CCorduroy

[gets up and sees that he has scraped his elbow] I think I scratched my elbow. [to Buckaroo] You aren't gonna tell Lisa are you?

Hmm...

CCorduroy

[off-screen] Lisa?

Cordy, what happened?

CCorduroy

[about how he fell off Buckaroo and scraped his elbow yesterday] I hurt it yesterday when I fell off Buckaroo. I was riding him to fast.

[Lisa --unaware of the fact that her toothache is still there-- becomes concerned about Corduroy's injury when he --Corduroy-- rocked on Buckaroo the rocking horse too fast and fell off of him.]

You should have told me right away.

[Lisa picks up Corduroy.]

Come on, I'll fix it up for you.

[In the bathroom, Lisa --despite still feeling her toothache-- puts the bandage on Corduroy's scraped and cut elbow.]

There. How does it feel?

CCorduroy

[feels the bandage on his cut after he fell off Buckaroo] Much better.

[Corduroy, he hugs Lisa.]

[feels the toothache] Ow!

CCorduroy

Sorry, I must have squeezed too hard.

[to Corduroy while feeling her tooth] It's not your fault. It's my tooth.

CCorduroy

Didn't get better on its own?

[about her toothache] I was hoping it would but it's getting worse! It hurts when I eat something hot, it hurts when I eat something cold, it hurts when I laugh, and it hurts when I sleep!

[Lisa walks around as she talks about her toothache. Then she goes over to Corduroy. That is, despite his injury being healed after falling off Buckaroo.]

[turns to Corduroy about it] But now it even hurts when you hug me!

CCorduroy

What are you going to do?

[sadly --and to answer Corduroy's question] Something that I should have done a long time ago!

[Later, the scene cuts to where Lisa and Corduroy are in the living room with Lisa's mom. Lisa is going tell her mom the truth about her toothache.]

LSLisa's Mom

[to Lisa when she had not admitted the truth yet about her toothache and not yet had told her about it in the first place] Why didn't you tell me sooner?

I would have but I was afraid of the giant needle.

LMLisa Mom

The giant needle?

It's this long!

LSLisa's Mom

Mm, and where did you hear about this?

Moppy.

LSLisa's Mom

I'm pretty sure Moppy's exaggerating.

Why would he do that?

LSLisa's Mom

I know he didn't mean any harm. Sometimes when you worried about something your mind exaggerates things like the size of a needle.

You mean it's not this big?

LSLisa's Mom

More like this small. The needle is just meant to keep you from being uncomfortable. You can hardly feel it.

And I'm not going to get my teeth pulled out either?

LSLisa's Mom

Your teeth pulled out? Goodness, no. Whoever told you?

[Lisa's mom thinks that Lisa have heard that from Moppy.]

LSLisa's Mom

Let me guess.

[Lisa and her mom started to laugh.]

LLLisa and Lisa's Mom

Moppy.

[They continue to laugh. But Lisa's tooth hurts when she laughs. And she --Lisa-- says...!]

[in pain] Ow!

DDentist

There's no need to be nervous. I'm just going to take a picture of your teeth.

I like getting my picture taken.

CCorduroy

[thinking] Me too.

[In Lisa and Corduroy's first imagination, they're in a photo booth getting their picture taken]

Not like that, Cordy. [giggles] Like this! [makes a funny face] Aaahhh.

[The camera from the booth takes a picture of Lisa and Corduroy making funny faces]

[In Lisa and Corduroy's second imagination, the waiter give Lisa plate of spaghetti and red sauce]

It looks delicious.

WWaiter

And for you, sir. Enjoy. [he leaves]

CCorduroy

Mm! [slurps]

[Corduroy takes out a fork and eats a bit spaghetti and swallows it. He and Lisa laugh]

[At the art gallery --Lisa's mom's art gallery-- with Lisa, Corduroy, and Rosetta, Corduroy is playing with the art as he jumps up and down when he's trying to climb on the statue until Lisa picks him up. At this, Corduroy thinks that he and Rosetta can do anything they want in the art gallery just because no one else is in it nor using it. So when Corduroy asks Lisa to "help him climb the statue", Lisa picks him up thinking she might do so. Corduroy, he says...!]

CCorduroy

[laughing] Help me up, please!

[As Corduroy says this, he is trying to get Lisa to help him climb on the statue as he jokingly wants to climb it. But Lisa, she says...!]

[knows the truth about the "HANDS OFF" signs --meaning "look but don't touch"] Sorry, Cordy. No can do.

[Lisa calls to Rosetta who is also playing on the art. Rosetta is swinging on the red ropes.]

[turns to Rosetta] Come on down (from the red ropes), Rosetta.

[believing the art gallery is closed for today] But the art gallery is closed today. No?

[Rosetta also thinks that she and Corduroy can do anything they want in the art gallery.]

That means we have the whole place to ourselves!

[to Rosetta] (Not quite, Rosetta.) It's great that Mom is letting us wander around while she's working.

[Lisa continues to Corduroy and Rosetta about the art gallery and its rules. She says it is for everyone and talks to them about the ropes in the gallery.]

[to Rosetta about the ropes] But those ropes aren't for playing. [then to Corduroy about the art sculptures] And neither is this art.

CCorduroy

I'm not supposed to play here?

Uh-uh. These red ropes are for keeping people from getting too close to the art. It means look but don't touch.

[Lisa sees Corduroy is covered with clay while building his own sculpture.]

[playfully laughs] Careful, Corduroy!

[Lisa cleans the wet clay off Corduroy's head with a wet rag.]

[in between laughs] If you don't you might become Clay-duroy!

[Lisa resumes laughing. Lisa, she --funnily warns Corduroy-- and gives him a nickname to be a parody of his name. She --after she says this "If you don't, you may become 'Clay-duroy'!"-- replaces the first syllable --or "prefix"-- "Cor" in his name --which is "Corduroy"-- with "Clay". And --with the new syllable "Clay"-- she repronounces it as "Clay-duroy" for a new name on him. That is, if he is not careful and is seen covered with clay. So he --Corduroy-- is going to be "Clayduroy" forever. That is, if he is covered in clay and the clay doesn't wash off. Then she notes about the sculpture that Corduroy made.]

Your sculpture's really taking shape.

What about my painting, Lisa?

It's really good.

CCorduroy

It's nice.

[about her painting and Corduroy's sculpture; and thinks that Lisa likes Corduroy's sculpture better than her painting] Good? Nice? Mais non, it's more than good or nice. It's...! It's a...!

[To be a parody of the word "masterpiece", Rosetta replaces the first syllable --prefix-- "mas" in the word "masterpiece" with "mouse". Then she repronounces it as "mouse-terpiece". Again, see nickname in next quote.]

A Mouse-terpiece!

[The red paint from the paintbrush lands on Rosetta's face.]

[Lisa and Corduroy are in the playground trying to make the swings move]

Do you want to ride the teeter totter, Cordy?

CCorduroy

It is too hot to play.

I know. It's even hotter than yesterday. [huffs]

CCorduroy

It's the hottest day ever.

[Lisa pulls out the grass and throws to see if the breeze is coming but it didn't came. From this point, Lisa and Corduroy see it is way too hot and do not know that this heat can melt any frozen things]

There isn't even a breeze to cool us off.

CCorduroy

My fur is making me even hotter.

Let's go home, Cordy. It's air-conditioned there.

CCorduroy

Will it be nice and cool?

And on the way back, we can visit...!

CCorduroy

The sweet shop?

[Lisa comes home until she feel the hot heat from inside instead of the breeze from the air-conditioner]

Huh?

CCorduroy

[panting] I'm still hot.

What's wrong with the air conditioning?

LSLisa's Mom

It hasn't been working for most of the day.

Can I go over to Moppy's to get cool?

LSLisa's Mom

I'm afraid the air conditioning is broken down for the whole building. Pandro's trying to fix it.

[Lisa puts down her knapsack down to the floor and puts Corduroy on the sofa's handle]

Can we go to the beach?

LSLisa's Mom

Sorry. The beach is quite a distance away, hon. By the time we get there, it'll be evening.

Oh...

[In Lisa and Corduroy's imagination, they're at the beach and they both finished the sandcastle]

A castle fit for a king.

CCorduroy

Someday I want to be a king.

Well, King Corduroy, do you want to go beachcombing?

CCorduroy

Beachcombing? (What's beachcombing?)

We'll look for seashells and other neat stuff (along the way).

CCorduroy

You mean like a treasure hunt?

[off-screen] Sort of. [on-screen] Come on.

[Corduroy follows Lisa. Lisa and Corduroy's footprints are shown on the sand as Lisa and Corduroy went to collect seashells. as Corduroy puts shells into the bucket, he sees a conch shell laying on the beach]

CCorduroy

[to Lisa when he finds a conch shell] Look!

[The camera zooms in to a conch shell. Corduroy runs through the beach and picks the conch shell with his paws]

Wow, that's a real big one. Try blowing it.

[Corduroy blows on the conch shell making a "very" long note]

CCorduroy

Whoa! What more could a bear ask for?

[sees another shell in the distance] Look how pretty that shell is.

[Another shell lays on the sandy beach. Corduroy touches the shell and it started to move]

CCorduroy

[laughs as he fell backwards] Hey! [laughing] This one moves.

[A hermit crab (who is inside the shell) continues to crawl through the sandy beach until Lisa picks him up and she looks inside his shell]

It's a hermit crab.

[The hermit crab comes out of his shell with a grumpy expression]

See? He's hiding.

CCorduroy

He doesn't look very happy (today).

I think he looks kind of crabby.

[Lisa and Corduroy begin to laugh with joy. Then Lisa put the hermit crab on the sandy beach and the hermit crab crawls away from Lisa and Corduroy so he can join in the other crabs]

CCorduroy

[off-screen] Whoa, it's a whole bunch of crabbies!

[Lisa and Corduroy started laughing again as the hermit crab went into the ocean. Suddenly, a baby sea turtle pops out of the sand after it hatched out from an egg]

[off-screen] Look, Corduroy. It's a baby (sea) turtle.

[The baby sea turtle crawls to the ocean]

CCorduroy

[off-screen] Where's it going?

Into the ocean. That's where it's going to grow up.

CCorduroy

[to Lisa as he watches the baby sea turtle goes into the ocean] Someday, I want to look inside the ocean and find out what else lives there.

I'd like that, too. Feel that ocean breeze?

[Lisa and Corduroy sigh together]

CCorduroy

It's so nice and cool.

[knocking on the door] Moppy! Moppy, hurry up! The block party's already started!

[opens the door; laughs] I know. My mom just took the cheese fondue down a minute ago!

Ready to go?

Are you kidding? I skipped breakfast so I'd have more room for all the free food! [feels his stomach] I'm gonna stuff myself silly!

[reminds Moppy never to get greedy] Don't get too greedy! We might want to taste, right, Cordy?

CCorduroy

[thinking] Right!

CCorduroy

Hi, Lisa!

[turns to Corduroy] Shh!

CCorduroy

What are you doing?

I'm taking pictures!

CCorduroy

[whispering] Why do you have to be quiet to take pictures?

Because I want to take surprise pictures, starting with Mom first. Shh!

[Corduroy is trying to be quiet. To be quiet, he covers his mouth by using both his paws. When Corduroy is not looking, Lisa sneaks to her mother's bedroom and goes on to her out of no where without her mother's permission with taking pictures. She finds her folding clothes while having curlers and face cream on. Then she makes ready to take her mother's picture. She sneakily smiles at her mother and whips out her camera to take the picture.]

[takes her mother's picture with the camera] Say cheese!

[Lisa snaps the picture on her mother.]

LSLisa's Mom

[gasps] Ooh!

[Lisa's Mom looks side to side where the loud click came from, then sees Lisa with the camera. Lisa laughs. Then she says...!]

[in between laughs] Got ya!

[Then Lisa resumes laughing. And she taunts her mother. Even though Lisa thought it was funny, her mother does not think it's very funny. The picture --offscreen-- that Lisa snapped on her mom shows her mom's embarrassed face. That is, with her mom's face having curlers and face cream on.]

LSLisa's Mom

[becomes surprised] LISA, YOU HAVE SCARED THE DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME!

Sorry, Mom. But this makes a great picture. See you later!

[Lisa runs away with the picture she snapped on her mother.]

[When Lisa enters her room, she finds Corduroy snooping through her private stuff from her treasure chest. Corduroy had gotten Rosetta and Buckaroo to go in it so he could play pirates with them and use Lisa's treasure chest of private things as a treasure chest. But he was the one to go in it first without permission]

[gasps] Corduroy! [off-screen] What are you doing in my chest?

RBRosetta and Buckaroo

[sees Lisa] Uh-oh!

[The closet door closes as Lisa is going to have a word to Corduroy about her private treasure chest. But Lisa only scolds Corduroy for it then has a word with him about her "treasure chest"]

CCorduroy

What did I do?

You snooped through my stuff, my private stuff, without asking! [off-screen] You must know better (in the first place).

CCorduroy

[sadly; to Lisa cause he know he should ask her next time] I'm sorry, Lisa. I guess I should have asked you first.

[After Lisa left her room so she can go to Moppy's place to listen to Moppy's violin, Corduroy and Buckaroo came to life]

CCorduroy

Why couldn't you move, Buckaroo?

[to Corduroy while trying to move again] I don't know! I keep getting stuck!

CCorduroy

[starts to laugh] Stuck?

Yeah that's right, stuck.

CCorduroy

Like a Stuckaroo, Buckaroo?

[muttering] Er-uh...heh.

CCorduroy

Stuckaroo, Stuckaroo [jumps up and down on Lisa's bed] his legs and feet are made of glue! [off-screen] Funny huh?

[Corduroy, in total has called Buckaroo, "Stuckaroo" three times]

You don't want it anyway. All you talk about is pizza!

[giggles and calls Moppy a nickname "Sloppy Toppy"] Sloppy Toppy!

[calls Lisa a nickname back --in sense that Lisa is thinking about having pizza for lunch] Lisa Pizza!

[Lisa then stops laughing and lets out a gasp after what Moppy just called her. Moppy had called Lisa a nickname. That is, which is "Lisa Pizza". Lisa gasps and says...!]

[wants to know what Moppy called her] (Wait...?!) What did you call me?!

[still thinking it's funny, he repeats the nickname and says it four times at this] Lisa Pizza, Lisa Pizza, Lisa Pizza!

[At first Lisa becomes awkward about the nickname --which was "Lisa Pizza"-- spoken by Moppy. But then looks rather upset right after Moppy calls her "Lisa Pizza". Meanwhile, the scene cuts to Lisa's room where Corduroy is trying to pull Buckaroo with a rope because Buckaroo's rockers can't move]

CCorduroy

[after trying his best to make Buckaroo move again] Not again!

Mmm. [sees his rockers who are still stuck] I can't help it if my rockers are stuck.

CCorduroy

I guess. But that's because you're, [calls Buckaroo --for a fourth time-- a nickname "Stuckaroo"] Stuckaroo! [laughing]

That's, Buckaroo. (Not Stuckaroo.)

CCorduroy

[repeats the nickname for a fifth time] Buckaroo the Stuckaroo, his legs and feet are made of glue!

[Corduroy has said "Stuckaroo" two more times at this. In total, he has said this name on Buckaroo five times]

Well, you're, you're...! [calls Corduroy a nickname back; in sense that Corduroy is pretending that he has a cast on his head from the pretend game "doctor" which he was playing with Lisa and Moppy on] You're a Boo-Boo Head!

[Corduroy then stops laughing and lets out a gasp after what Buckaroo just called him. Buckaroo --after seeing Corduroy's pretend cast-- said that Corduroy was a "Boo-Boo Head". Meanwhile, the scene cuts back to Moppy's place where Lisa is still rather upset when Moppy called her "Lisa Pizza". Lisa knows what she just heard from Moppy when he said that nickname.]

[to Lisa; as he whips out an imaginary camera and forces her to smile at the "camera"] Hey, Lisa Pizza...! Smile for the camera! Say cheese! Get it? Pizza?! Cheese?!

[Lisa pushes the kitchen table chair and stands up because she's going home]

It's not that funny. I'm going!

But what about your sandwich? Aren't you gonna eat it?

I RATHER GO HOME THAN BEING CALLED "LISA PIZZA"!

[gasping] WELL, I RATHER GO HOME THAN BEING CALLED "SLOPPY TOPPY"!

(WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!) YOU ARE HOME!

OH YEAH?! WELL, I DO NOT LIKE BEING CALLED "SLOPPY TOPPY"! THAT IS, WHEREVER I AM!

OKAY, FINE!

FINE!

[Lisa opens the door as she exits Moppy's place. Then she angrily shuts the door.]

[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]

Hi, Moppy, can I come in?

[sadly] I guess.

[Lisa closes the door and sits on a kitchen table chair]

You hardly touched your sandwich (you made for yourself).

I don't feel like eating.

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]

CCorduroy

Hi, Buckaroo.

[thinks that Corduroy is still calling him a bad name; which was "Stuckaroo"] What did you say?

CCorduroy

I said, "Hi, Buckaroo".

You're not going to call me, that name anymore?

CCorduroy

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.
