[Stanley is knocking at the door of Lionel's bedroom, joined by Dennis and the kōkako bird.]
Lionel, I have a surprise for you. [no answer] Lionel, I'm here to help you with your song. [the door opens and Stanley peeks in] Lionel?
Oh, he doesn't seem to be in.
Look! There's the song he was working on. Let's surprise Lionel by finishing it for him.
I don't know if this is such a good idea, Stanley.
It's not a good idea. It's a great idea! And when it's all done, I'll bet Lionel will want to play with me!
[Stanley walks over to Lionel's bed. He sets Dennis and the bird down as he picks up the paper and pencil.]
Okay, little kōkako. You sing a song, and I'll write down the notes.
[The kōkako suddenly snatches Lionel's song from Stanley, and takes off.]
Hey!
Well, I guess he didn't like it.
We have to catch him before he flies away!
No worries, there, Stanley. The kōkako isn't a very good flyer.
[The kōkako hurries out the door on foot.]
It is a very good runner, however.
Come on!
[Stanley picks up Dennis and goes after the kōkako, but is stopped when Lionel shows up with a sandwich.]
WAAH!
[angry] What are you doing in my room, Stanley?
[nervously] Um, I... Uh... I... Nice sandwich.
Thanks. It's good brain food to help me finish my... song!
[Lionel has noticed his song wasn't on his bed.]
[angry] Stanley, where's my song?
The kōkako has it?
The what-ako?
The kōkako. It's a musical bird that I brought over to help you write your song.
[smug] Right...
Yeah, to help you write.
[annoyed] No. Not "write" as in, "put words on paper". "Right...", as in a sarcastic response meaning, "Hey, I don't really believe you!"
But it's the truth!
[threateningly] Stanley. Get. My song.
Right. I mean, okay.
