Look, look, I'm tellin' you, she's a great candidate! She says that she's against big spending, big business, and inflation. She says when she gets into office, there'll be enough money for government, social programs, and the space program.

Ha! The nerve of some bear! Whatever I told him, I don't need you!

Goldilocks!

Bob

Baby Bear, is everything okay?

Uh, not exactly, Bob. Goldilocks is very angry that we're doing the story without her.

Bob

Ohh...

Just don't read the story right now, okay? I've gotta straighten this out.

Bob

Okay. Goldilocks is just...

Goldilocks!

Unbelievable!

Goldilocks, wait!

Wait? Wait? Now, why should I wait? You didn't wait for me to come back from vacation! You replaced me!

Oh, but Elmo really wanted to hear the story, you know, our story! I didn't know how long you would be gone!

Yeah, well, now I'll be gone for good! I quit!

You can't quit! You're Goldilocks!

Oh, see, you've got a new Goldilocks now! Oh, and here he is!

Yep, that's it! I'm finished! No more Goldilocks for me! I'm the Big Bad Wolf and I've got my own story! Now, I'm gonna go check and see if the pigs are back from the pork... I mean, park yet. Then I can huff and puff like I'm supposed to do.

You see? You are the one, the only, the true Goldilocks! Oh, please, please come back to our story!

Uh... I don't think so, Baby Bear. I'm too angry.

But there is no story without you, Goldilocks! It would be "Once upon a time there were three bears, the three bears went for a nice walk in the woods while their porridge cooled, and then they came back and they ate it. The end." There is no drama, no conflict. We need you, Goldilocks!

So, find someone else to replace me, again!

[sighs] All right, I know you're angry, Goldilocks, and I understand.

You do?

Yeah. I'm sorry. I guess I was caught up in the moment, you know... But you know, nobody eats my porridge or breaks my wee little chair like you do. You are the best!

I... I am?

Yeah, but more important, you're my friend, Goldilocks.

Really?

Really! Nobody could replace you!

Aww, Baby Bear, come here!

So what do you say, Goldilocks? Will you come back to our story? We really need you!

Well... Well, okay! I'll do it!

You will? Cool! Let's go!

Okay!
