Eubie quotes from Higglytown Heroes

[after Fripp sings his Hot Dog Cart Blues song; sniffs sadly] That's the saddest song I've ever heard.

Grandpop Crank? You're a Higglytown Hero?

What’s wrong, Twinkle? [cuts to Twinkle]

Twinkle

My tooth! It’s- it’s loose!

Wayne

Oh No! Somebody do something!

It’s okay, Twinkle. All kids loose their baby teeth.

Twinkle

They do?

[goes over the phone and answers it] Hello?

I wonder who's calling.

Kip

With a phone call, it could be anybody.

Wayne

I hope it's not my mom calling because she found those brussel sprouts in the umbrella stand.

I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation, Bitty. I just don't know what it is.

Fran

It’s when all the ghosts and goblins and monsters come out for spooky fun. [cuts to the kids]

Wayne

There aren’t really any monsters, are there, Fran?

Fran

Oh, don’t worry, Wayne. There’s no such thing as… [cuts to Uncle Lemmo opening the door with a Jack-o’-lantern to scare the kids] MONSTERS!!!!!!!

Uncle Lemmo?! [move to Uncle Lemmo after he was revealed, cuts to the kids moving to t have a conversation with Uncle Lemmo]

Oh, kids! You nearly startled me right outta my pants.

We thought you were a pumpkin monster!

Nope, just being my Jack'o'lantern. Ugh, looks like I'm gonna have to carve a new one now. [scene wipes to Uncle Lemmo carving another Jack'o'Lantern]

Twinkle

Why do we make Jack o lanterns on Halloween, anyway?

Do you kids mean to tell me that you’ve never heard the story of the first Jack’o’Lantern?

Nuh-uh!

Kip

Tell us!

Twinkle

Please tell us, Uncle Lemmo!

It all started in Higglytown a long, long time ago.

[meows]

Every year in Higglytown had a big Halloween Party.

[as Plunkie departures him] Ugh!

[sniffs, then pinches her nose] Eew… [walks away from Jake the archer and Albert the vampire]

Now- back then, they were five friends. And just like everyone else in Higglytown, these friends couldn’t wait for Halloween!

Kip

I’m a robot!

Twinkle

A princess.

A walrus!

Fran

A bat!

Wayne

An Alien-Clown-Cowboy, imagine that!

I’m phoning a friend. [Bernice’s phone rings]

Hello.

Hi, Bernice. I was wondering if you could do us a really big favor.

Fran

There's just one problem.

Twinkle

What is that?

Fran

The Pumpkin Monster is STANDING RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!!!!

AAAH!!!!!!!

So, you thought you could come and rescue Fran the bat? Hahaha.

Where did I put that key? [pulls out the umbrella] No that's not it. [throws the umbrella away. Next: the Pumpkin Monster pulls out a seat] Oh no. That's a chair. [throws a seat away. Next: the Pumpkin Monster pulls out a French Horn then he plays lively jazz music with the French Horn then throws the French Horn away.] Nope. [pulls out the key, which is correct] Aha!

We’e on our way, Fran!

Kip

I’ve got the key, Fran!

Friends sound terrific! Ah. If only I had some.

You silly monster! We’ll be your friend.

Hot Diggity!

Twinkle

It’s coming from the park zoo.

Kip

Let’s go!

Hey, that's not a hot dog cart!

Wayne

Yeah, that's a seal.

Fran

Oh my goodness gracious!

Is it thunder? Is it a monster?

Wayne

Don't answer. I don't want to know!

Oh, it's nothing to be afraid of.

Fran

It's just a flat tire.

[hops out of the car and inspects the tire] Oh!

Twinkle

Mom, does this mean we're not going to the beach?

Kip

I can't wear pink, with ribbons.

Twinkle

Well, I want to wear pink, not green.

Wayne

This jacket is itchy.

[shivering and freezing] Um… I'm kind of cold.

Fran

Nice try, Higgly kids. But I don't think this is gonna work now.

Wayne

Oh. How will we ever get bigger clothes?

Twinkle

Ooh. It's raining marshmallows!

Kip

Wayne, you got marshmallow on your glasses.

Wayne

Uh, I can't see. Everything looks like it's covered in marshmallows.

[takes Wayne's glasses off his eyes] Maybe I can wipe your glasses off with my shirt.

Kip

No. We can take them inside and wash them off.

Wayne

Wait! I only clean them with my special cleaning cloth. [runs into Eubie and Kip, and accidentally breaks his glasses]

Uh-oh!

Wayne

What happened?

Twinkle

Oh, no! Wayne! Your glasses are broken!

Wayne

Broken?! I can't wear my glasses if they're broken! And if I can't wear my glasses, I can't see clearly! [in his POV, his vision is all blurry] It looks… blurry. Like I'm opening my eyes underwater. If everything is blurry, then I'm not gonna be able to see the shooting stars! What am I gonna do?

Kip

Wow, Twinkle. You're going to be great at your recital.

So a recital is when you perform in front of a lot of people?

Fran

That's right, Eubie.

Twinkle

I wish you could all come, but this recital is only for family members, like my mom and Wayne.

Wayne

Yeah. I can't wait to go.
