GGuy

I'm sorry. Wh-whatever you do... please don't hurt me.

[Guy sobs. McWinkle removes his sunglasses and looks at Guy with concern]

Why would we hurt you? We're the good guys.

[Guy abruptly stops crying]

GGuy

Huh? Uh... I-I-I thought you were the BAD GUYS.

GGlutz

We are! But the name is kind of misleading.

[Glutz hands Guy the card. He flips it over to see the words 'Bureau of Animal Defense: Glurfsburg Upper Yipville Section' on the back]

GGuy

But... Sam is a wildlife protector, too... isn't he?

[Mcwinkle opens a file full of Sam-I-Am’s wanted posters]

GGuy

Huh?

Sam-I-Am. Aka the Furry Foot Bandit. Aka Flim-Flam-I-Am. Aka Sham Shamford. Aka Dr. Linda Schwartz.

GGuy

[gasps] No!

Yes. Your pal is a con man, a crook, a world-class heist-uoso.

GGuy

No! He can’t be. He’s protecting Mr. Jenkins! He told me that we’re taking him to Meepville to keep him safe. [gasps]

And you actually bought that? Think about it. You two have been attached to the hip for days. Did he really seem like a Wildlife Protector to you?

We know the truth. He stole the Chickeraffe to sell to a collector.

GGuy

Collector?

Now... My slightly unhinged partner is in the next room with your friend, the Goat.

GGuy

He’s not my friend! [Mcwinkle slams his fist to the table] Oh!

I’m not interested in your social life!

So... tell me about your social life. Do you hang out with other goats, or do you like to mix it up?

Not talking.

[blows and sips the coffee] Any hobbies?

Not talking.

Interesting hobby! Do you like board games?

No.

[gasps, throws the coffee at the Goat and throws the mug on the floor] You monster!

I have no idea what kind of sick tactics she’s using over there, but this I guarantee: One of you is gonna tell us the name of that collector. The other is gonna be in big trouble in a little cell. Which one do you want to be? Think it over. [starts walking to the door] The freedom of the one-seventeenth of the world’s Chickeraffe population hangs in the balance. So maybe consider that!

So? What do you think?

This is so much better than a roller coaster.

This is my favorite spot in the whole world.

Oh! They’re all so amazing! [gasps] But this one... Oh, my gosh! This one is the beautifulest!

[chuckles] That one’s... mine.

Yours? Like, you...

Painted it. I... painted it.

You? You painted that? [spotted her mother’s signature on the painting] but when?

[chuckles] Back when you were very little, your dad and I lived here in Meepville, and this is what I did. I was an artist.

Why in the world are you counting beans?

Well, when your dad passed away, I wanted to make sure that I could take care of you, keep you safe. I wanted a safe job in a safe place, so... we moved to Glurfsburg.

GGuy

Stop talking.

But, Guy--

GGuy

No. Everything you ever told me is a lie. You're a wanted criminal!

It's nice to be wanted?

GGuy

[Grunts] But how could you sell Mr. Jenkins?

When I stole him, he wasn’t Mr. Jenkins yet. I made the deal with Snerz, before I get to know the big fella.

GGuy

[Horrified] Snerz is the collector? As in “SnerzCo”?

Yes. But, the plan now is to reunite Jenkins with his family on Chickeraffe Island! Promise.

GGuy

I want to believe you, but I can't.

You have to. I may not be able to find my mother, but Jenkins's mom is a balloon ride away! Please. You can trust me.

GGuy

... ... No! Just get out of here! And leave Mr. Jenkins with me.

I can't do that. They'll put him back in a zoo.

GGuy

You listen to me, Sam-

[cheerfully] Ah-ah-ah. That's your hupset voice. You get upset when you're hungry. Good thing I brought these. [brings out Green Eggs and Ham, making Guy even more angry] Ta-da! They're really good right... [puts plate on desk in front of Guy] there, I'll bet.

GGuy

... [fires burns in his eyes as he starts to lose it] I do not like them, Sam-I-Am!

But you could.

GGuy

[Slams his fist on the table] I could not, would not, on a boat! I will not, will not, with a goat! [Smashing Green Eggs and Ham] I will not eat them in the rain! I will not eat them on a train! [hurls the smashed green food at a wall] I do not like them here or there! I do not like them anywhere! I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM! I DO NOT LIKE THEM, SAM-I-AM!

[Sam and Mr Jenkins exchange glances]

So... that's a no?

[Guy groans in frustration]

Okay. I know you're not happy about the little setback in our relationship.

GGuy

We have no relationship! It's not us I'm worried about!

[Guy presents the piece of paper with Michellee's phone number on it]

I'll tell her you're innocent. She'll believe me.

GGuy

Oh, really, Mr. Furry Foot Bandit? Who's she supposed to believe? Hector Jive? Bamboozle McHoaxypants?

I only use Bamboozle McHoaxypants for hotels.

GGuy

Why do you have so many aliases?

Because nobody's... nobody's ever wanted me to stay the same person before.

[Guy glares suspiciously at Sam]

Nobody's ever stuck around long enough.

GGuy

... Well, there's a reason nobody's ever stuck around this long, Sam! Believe me, I know! Because I've tried! I've tried you as a friend, and you don't fit! You don't fit anybody! Not even your own mother.

[Sam gasps softly and Jenkins makes a sad noise]

Oh, dear! Guy's just upset. I'm sure he didn't mean it.

GGuy

[suddenly calms down, realizing he shouldn't have said that; remorsefully] Sam, that last bit...

But those words crushed poor Sam like a peanut.

GGuy

I'm sorry, Sam. I'm sorry.

No no no. You're right. Come along, Mr. Jenkins.

GGuy

No! Wait! Sam, you can't sell him! [But they are already gone; McWinkle and Gluntz return] The collector... is Snerz. [the two BAD GUYS are surprised]
