Sam I Am
By the way, hope you don’t mind, I helped myself to your toothbrush. Well, our toothbrush, am I right?
GGuy
Our toothbrush? There is no our toothbrush. There is no our anything!
Sam I Am
What do you mean? We’re a team. Dream team!
GGuy
Oh, I wish this was a dream. But you have turned my life into a nightmare. Because of you, I’m a felon, I nearly drowned, and you’ve stolen my wallet at least three times! Every moment, I’m with you is a disaster! [changes his pajama hat to his regular hat] So, I’m leaving. Now. Bye.
Oh! I knew you were a dangerous man. [Guy nodding “no” in denial] I can’t believe you lied to me. Actually, I can. I just can’t believe I was stupid enough to trust you.
[Sam has accidentally extinguished their campfire]
Sam I Am
How about I make it up to you with a bite of these green eggs and ham?
GGuy
No, thank you.
Sam I Am
Are you sure? They're really good in the dark. The lack of sight truly heightens your other senses. [chews on them loudly] Mmm! Mmm! Those just sound delicious.
Green eggs and ham on a stick? Bestest carnival food ever. Wanna try? They’re really good in a box.
GGuy
No, I will not eat them in a box. Wait a minute. How did you pay for them?
Sam I Am
I didn’t. I struck up a conversation with the vendor, and he gave them to me for free.
GGuy
[chuckling] Why wouldn’t they be free? Stuff always turns out fine for Sam. You do wrong and win. I do right, and it all blows up in my face! When her hat landed in my hands, I really thought your luck rubbed off on me. That I received some of that special Sam I-Am mojo. But what happens to me? I end up doused, and soused, and fished, and flattened. And when I try to be honest, suddenly I'm Randy.
[Sam solemnly puts a hand on Guy's knee]
Sam I Am
I thought you were Dave.
GGuy
Never mind! I'm through with you. [burrows himself in the packing foam]
[takes her hat back and puts it on] So you work at the carnival now? Because I thought you were Guy, the exploding inventor. No, wait. Oh, no, no, no. It’s Guy, the Paint Watcher, am I right? No, no, wait a second. No, I forgot. You’re Guy, the wild animal smuggler. Is your name even really Guy?
GGuy
Yes. My name is...
CBCarnival Boss
Randy! [Guy turns around] You’re fired! You and that Dave made a mess of everything!
[Guy bursts out laughing, Michellee gets irritated, and Guy takes the tickling fish off of him]
GGuy
Sorry. That’s a tickling fish. Long story. [sigh] The truth is... Well, all of it’s true. I was an inventor, and... and now I really do want to be a Paint Watcher. I’m not a felon. I swear. I... I jaywalked once, but... I’m just trying to ensure that poor animal is safe.
