Am I seeing things, or is Stanley changing colors?
I'm changing colors? I'm not trying to.
This is the part of changing colors I was talking about, Stanley. Chameleons often change color depending on how they feel, and they can't really control it.
I guess we turn brown when we're not feeling well?
I'm afraid so, Stanley.
[pointing up] Look! He's changing again!
[Stanley, with a rather annoyed look on his face, changes his color from brown to blue-and-red stripes.]
That's pretty.
[concerned] It's not meant to be pretty, Harry. These bright stripes usually mean a chameleon is getting angry.
I am angry! [squeals angrily] I was thinking about Lionel and... "the dudes", and how I wouldn't be out here eating nasty bugs if I didn't wanna be like them. [he squeals again as he turns black]
He's turning black!
[nervous] Ooh. That means he's really mad.
Why are you so mad, Stanley?
Because I was wrong about chameleons. [squeals] They can't just change colors to fit in whenever they want.
That's right, Stanley. Chameleons can't hide their feelings any more than you can hide who you are around the big boys.
[resigned] Great. [turns brown] I guess it won't do me any good to be a chameleon then.
We're glad you can't be anybody but Stanley, Stanley.
[turns green as his mood brightens] Really?
Who else would take us on crazy adventures?
And tell us about other animals?
And be our very best friend?
Well, then, I guess I just have to be... me.
