And because of the big rainstorm that was coming... Narrator: Jay Jay, Tracy and Snuffy were sad that they couldn't fly off and play. Jay Jay: (groans) This is turning out to be a real nothing-to-do day. Tracy: Yeah. Because there's nothing to do. Snuffy: Nothing. Savannah: (giggles) My goodness! There you all are! Jay Jay, Tracy: (glumly) Hi, Savannah. Savannah: Herky and I thought we'd come to see what'cha all up to. Why ya'll wearin' such long faces? Jay Jay: (from o.s.) Well... (Cut to the trio.) We did have a whole day of fun things planned, but now, because of the rain that's coming, it's a real nothing-to-do day. Savannah: (giggles) Why, of course there are fun things to do, sugar. Why, a day like today can be a good day to practice how to use your imagination. Jay Jay: (stutters a little) Imagination? What's that? Savannah: It's something you have in your head. Tracy: We do? Savannah: (from o.s., giggles) Yes, Tracy. (back to her.) And with it, you can travel to all sorts of wonderful places, and do all sorts of wonderful things all without leaving your hangar. Jay Jay: But that doesn't even make sense, Savannah. How can "imagive-what's-it's...do that? Savannah: (giggles) Well, the best way for me to show ya, would be for us to actually use our imaginations. We'll play a game called "pretend". Jay Jay: How do we play pretend? Savannah: Well, I'm going to tell you one of my favorite stories— (Cut to the others, she continues o.s.) —and, ya'll have to pretend that you are the planes in the story. Jay Jay: Okay, but...I don't see how this can be as much fun as flyin' around on a sunny day. Savannah: Oh, come on now, honey. Give your imagination a try. Jay Jay: Well...okay. Savannah: (from o.s.) Marvelous! (Back to her.) Alright, now! This story is called, "The Three Little Planes". (Cut to the others; she continues o.s.) Now, ya have to close your eyes, and imagine yourself in the story. Savannah: Are you ready? Herky: R-r-ready! Jay Jay, Snuffy: Ready! Savannah: (From o.s.) Good! (Full view.) There were once three little planes... * Savannah: They were flyin' across the sky, havin' a wonderful time together. And the names of these three little planes... * Savannah: ...Were Jay Jay, Tracy, and Herky. Herky: 'Cept I'm a helicopter-r-r! * Savannah: (giggles) That's right. (Widen to frame all of them.) Well, they were enjoying their trip so much, that they decided to land to see what was on the ground. * Savannah: No sooner had they landed, when suddenly, they got an urgent radio message from Farmer Oscar! Old Oscar: (on radio) Calling all planes! Calling all planes! A-and helicopters, too. There's a big bad old plane coming to Tarrytown! (All gasp.) You'd all better build yourselves some good, strong hangars to hide in—or else he'll huff, and he'll puff, and he'll blow your hangars down! (Calms down) That is all, over and out. Jay Jay: We'd better go build ourselves hangars to hide in, so the big bad plane can't get to us! Savannah: So, they all ran off to do just that. Snuffy: Uh...hey, Savannah, when do I get to be in the story? (Close-up.) I wanna use my imagination, too. Savannah: And just who did you think the big bad plane was going to be? Snuffy: (gasps) Me?! Savannah: (giggles) That's right, honey! Snuffy: (jumping in place) Yippee!!! Snuffy: I'm the big bad plane. Nah, that's not scary enough. (louder, voice reverberating) I'm the big bad plane! (normal) Mmm...that's a little better. Hey! I know! (Even louder, voice reverberating) I'M THE BIG BAD PLANE! (growls, normal) That's it! I found the right voice! Savannah: That's wonderful! And just in time, too—because the big bad plane was on his way! Jay Jay: (a little worried) Uh...uh, just how big a-a-and how bad was he, Savannah? Savannah: Oh, not too big and too bad, becuase—after all, he is bein' played by Snuffy. Jay Jay: Oh, yeah. * Savannah: Herky had just buildin' his hangar... (Herky flies out.) Herky: Not a bad job if I say so myself. Herky: Uh-oh! That must be the big bad plane! (shrieks) I gotta hide! Snuffy: LET ME IN! LET ME IN! Herky: (from inside) Not by the chr-r-rome on my little tailfin! Snuffy: THEN I'LL HUFF, AND I'LL PUFF, AND I'LL BLOW YOUR HANGAR IN! (roars, to himself) Or better still, I'll use my propeller. (snorts) * Savannah: And he did. The big bad plane kicked up such a wind with his propeller, that Herky was blown away! * Savannah: Meanwhile, Jay Jay had just finished buildin' his hangar. Jay Jay: Ha, this'll hold up against anything. Herky: (from o.s.) Jay Jay! (He drops down next to him.) Jay Jay, you gotta save me! Helllp!! Jay Jay: What's wrong? Herky: The big bad plane blew down my hangar-r-r! Herky: Uh-oh, that must be the big bad plane again! Jay Jay: Quick! We've gotta hide! Snuffy: LET ME IN! LET ME IN! (growls) Jay Jay: (from inside) Not by the chrome on our little tailfin! Snuffy: THEN I'LL HUFF, AND I'LL PUFF, AND I'LL BLOW YOUR HANGAR IN! (growls, to himself) Better still, I'll use my propeller again. * Savannah: And he did! (His winds start up.) The big bad plane kicked up such a wind with his propeller— * Savannah: —That this time, Jay Jay and Herky were both blown away! * Savannah: Now, it just so happens that Tracy had just finished buildin' her hangar. Tracy: Yes! What a great hangar. Herky: (moaning worryingly) Oh, I'm scar-r-red! Jay Jay: (also moaning) Me too! Herky: Tr-r-racy! Tr-r-racy, ya gotta save us! Jay Jay: The big bad plane blew down both our hangars! Herky: Uh-oh, that must be the big bad plane again! Jay Jay: Quick! We've gotta hide! Tracy: Follow me! Snuffy: LET ME IN! LET ME IN! (growls) Jay Jay, Tracy, Herky: (from inside) Not by the chrome on our little tailfin! Snuffy: THEN I'LL HUFF, AND I'LL PUFF, AND I'LL BLOW YOUR HANGAR IN! * Savannah: And the big bad plane kicked up the biggest wind ever! * Savannah: But then...nothin' happened, so he tried again. * Savannah: But this time, not only did nothin' happen, but the big bad plane was all blown out for the day. Snuffy: Um...so, uh...you know that part about huffing...and puffing... (growls) And blowing your hangar in? Mmm...I don't wanna do it anymore. So...is it alright if I come in? (Cut to inside.) Other three: No! (Back to Snuffy.) Snuffy: Aw, come on! Can I? (Back inside.) Tracy: Well...only if you say the magic word. (Back to Snuffy.) Snuffy: Pleeeease? Other three: Okay. (Back inside.) * Savannah: So, they opened the door, and let the big bad plane in. And you know what? He wasn't all that big and bad after all. Savannah: And's that's the story of the Three Little Planes. You can open your eyes now. Jay Jay: Heyhey, that was fun, Savannah! Herky: Yeah, and we didn't have to go anywher-r-re! Jay Jay: Wow, Savannah. That imagination stuff works great. (He casts his eyes upward and gasps.) Hey look, guys! The sun came out! Tracy: Wow! Savannah: Well, I sure am glad ya'll had a good time. But now, you can go play. I'll see ya later! Jay Jay: Yeah! Let's get goin'! Jay Jay: Hey guys, I just thought of something. (close-up.) If we can use our imagination to have fun on a cloudy day, think of what we can do with it on a sunny day like this. Jay Jay: We hold the key [Snuffy: Hold the key] to be [Snuffy: To be] Anything that we wanna be Snuffy: If there's a thought [Jay Jay: There's a thought] we've got [Jay Jay: We've got] We make it happen naturally All: With our imagination, look what we can do Jay Jay: (spoken) I'll become a pirate Snuffy: (spoken) Yeah, and I can be one, too All: Celebration of learning to pretend Jay Jay: I can't imagine anything better with a friend Jay Jay: Alright, [Snuffy: Alright] okay [Snuffy: Okay] All: Imagination Jay Jay: We learn to play [Snuffy: Learn to play] this way [Snuffy: This way] With everything that's lookin' real great Snuffy: And now we know [Jay Jay: Now we know] where to go [Jay Jay: Where to go] Even on the rainiest day All: To our imagination, where everything is new Tracy: I can catch a dinosaur Herky: And I can paint it blue All: Celebration of learning to pretend Jay Jay: I can't imagine anything better with a friend Jay Jay: Alright, [Snuffy: Alright] okay [Snuffy: Okay] Imagination celebration is the way (Rear angle of the sky; he zigzags forward.) Alright, [Tracy: Alright] okay (Back to the other three as they follow; rear angle of Jay Jay as they join him.) Imagination celebration is the way Alright, [Herky: Alright] okay [Herky: Okay]
