KIDThe Adventures of Napkin Man. Bad Hair Day.
Ladies and gentlemen!
Boys and girls,
gather 'round
for the big top circus!
Aw...
(Kids cheer)
The big top circus.
And for our first performance today,
tightrope walking.
Who's first?
Very good, very good.
Hey, Ahmet.
I almost didn't see you there.
Oh, hi Mr. Anthony.
Why are you wearing that big rain hat?
It isn't raining in here.
Why don't you take that thing off
and come and play circus with the rest of the g*ng?
No can do, Mr. Anthony.
I got a new haircut.
I bet it looks great, can I see it?
No. You might think I look silly.
And that makes me feel uncomfortable.
How do you mean, Ahmet?
My face feels hot and red like a tomato.
It sounds to me like you're feeling embarrassed.
Embarrassed?
Embarrassed is when you feel a little worried
about looking silly in front of other people.
Yeah, that's what I'm feeling.
Embarrassed.
Lucky for you,
I know an old big top circus trick
to make that embarrassed feeling
disappear!
It's called, the circus clown cool down.
You wanna see it? Yes, please.
Okay, come on.
Circus clowns always being silly.
And they often get very hot faces
and sweaty hands.
So, what they do is they...
walk around like a clown
and then they fan their faces.
♪ (Hums circus music)
That's funny, Mr. Anthony.
(Chuckles) Now, you try it.
♪ (Hums circus music)
Big fan hands.
Very good, Ahmet.
Feel better?
Well, my face isn't so hot.
But, I'm still embarrassed.
And I don't want anyone to see my haircut.
So, I'm gonna keep this hat on.
This reminds me of the story about the time
Napkin Man helped a young trapeze artist,
who was also feeling embarrassed.
Do you wanna hear it? Yes, please.
Okay, come on!
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
Alright, are you ready to call Napkin Man with me? Yep.
BOTHOne, two, three,
Napkin Man!
Hi, Ahmet. Hi, Mr. Anthony.
BOTHHi, Napkin Man.
MR. ANTHONYOh, Napkin Man.
Since you are going to be performing in the circus
I'm going to draw you...
a top hat, just like mine.
Thanks, Mr. Anthony. I love it!

Today I get to perform the trapeze act
with the world's youngest and greatest trapeze artist,
The Amazing Alessandro.
Hey, it's Strong Man Steve, hi.
Hello, Napkin Man.
Hmm.
Is there something different about how you look?
It's my moustache.
I make it extra curly for the show.
Nice!
There's Candy The Clown.
Hi, Candy.
Hi, Napkin Man!
Notice anything different about me?
Uh, I give up.
My new clown wig!
It looks great.
Thanks, Napkin Man.
Hi, Alessandro. (Gasps)
Oh, hi Napkin Man.
I'm just getting these posters ready
to sign after the show.
Here, let me help you with those.
Uh, it's okay. Whoops!
Hmm...
There's something different about you, Alessandro.
Are you taller? Did you get a haircut?
Did your feet grow bigger?
(Giggles)
No, Napkin Man.
I'm wearing new glasses.
They help me see better.
But I'm worried.
What if people think they look silly.
Silly? No way, they look great.
Anyway, we better practise our trapeze act.
Or we'll definitely look silly.
Come on.
Uh, Alessandro,
don't you need those glasses to see better
when you're doing the trapeze act?
Don't worry, Napkin Man.
We'll do great.
High five.
Whoops.
Um... Hmm...
Okay, Napkin Man.
Climb up to the platform.
I'll meet you at the top.
Okay, here goes.
Hmm...
Yikes!
I didn't realize we'd be up so high.
Don't worry, Napkin Man.
Now, grab your trapeze.
Now, start swinging.
Whoa!
Now, when I count to three
let go and I'll catch you.
Are you sure you can see me okay
without your glasses?
Aw, don't worry, Napkin Man.
Ready? (Chuckles)
One,
two,
three, let go!
(Gasps)
Whoa! Whoops.
Woo hoo!
Let's try that again.
(Laughs)
(Chuckles)
Whoo!
Ahh!
Whoa!
Sorry, Napkin Man. I keep missing you.
Was it because it was hard to see me
without your glasses?
Yeah, I guess so.
Well, we can fix that.
All you have to do is put on your glasses.
I can't, Napkin Man.
I'm too embarrassed about people seeing me in glasses.
My hands are all sweaty
and my face is really hot.
It sounds to me
like you need to do the circus clown cool down.
Do a silly clown walk
fan your face.
♪ (Hums circus music)
Now how do you feel?
Better. Not so hot.
But, I still don't want anyone
to see me wearing these glasses.
Well, I know a song that just might help.

Those glasses look great on you.
Do you really think so Ahmet?
AHMETYes, yes I do.
You're still the great Alessandro

Alright, I'll do it.
Thanks Ahmet.
Now, let's go put on a show.
Yes!

Ladies and gentlemen.
It's my pleasure to introduce...

Whoop, hey!
(Applause)
(Applause)
Nice catch. Thanks.
(Applause)
Can I have your autograph, Alessandro?
Sure. Hmm...
Mommy, I want glasses
just like the Amazing Alessandro.
Hey, now your poster
looks as good as you do.
That was a great story, Mr. Anthony.
It sure was.
Now, what do you say, Ahmet?
Will you take off the rain hat
and join your friends over on the tightrope?
Yes, yes I will.
Hey Ahmet, I like your haircut.
Thanks Amelia.
Okay, Ahmet, you're up.
Arms out for balance.
See, less hair, you're balancing much better.
(Kids cheer)
Very good!
Now it's your turn, Mr. Anthony.
Oooh, eee!
Whoa-whoa-whoa!
(Kids all cheer)
Now, that was embarrassing.
KIDThe Adventures of Napkin Man. Plaster in Paris.
Okay, what would you like me to make now?
A gorilla!
(Gasps) Gorilla?
A gorilla it is!
Voila!
Oh, Madame Madeline,
this gorilla's so wonderful.
I can almost hear him
(Imitates gorilla)
(Laughs)
My gorilla sculpture is nothing
compared to the fabulous work of my students.
Voila!
Oh, such pretty flowers.
And what about this? What's this?
The Eifel Tower?
I copied it from the poster of Paris,
because that's where you're from,
Madame Madeline.
Tres gentil, Zahara.
Very nice, thank you.
Thank you so much Madame Madeline
for the wonderful art class.
We all loved it.
Alright, keep sculpting, everyone.
Thank you, so much.
Hey, Zahara, are you okay?
No.
What is wrong?
I don't want Madame Madeline to leave.
It makes me feel all achy,
and I just want to curl up in a ball.
I know just how you feel.
You do?
Oh, yes.
I feel achy
when I have to stop doing something
that I enjoy doing.
It makes me feel sad.
Yep, that's it. I'm feeling sad.
You know what, Zahara.
When I'm feeling sad,
I do the shake 'n ache.
I shake, shake, shake.
And I shake, shake, shake, my ache away.
(Laughs) That looked like fun.
I'm going to try it.
I shake, shake, shake.
And shake, shake, shake
my ache away.
(Laughs) That's very good.
You try it now, Zahara.
Shake, shake,
my ache away.
(Laughs)
Are you feeling a little bit better?
A little, but I still don't want you to leave.
MR. ANTHONYZahara, have I ever told you the story
about the time Napkin Man helped a little girl named Jackie
who lived in Paris,
who was an artist.
An artist like me and Madame Madeline?
Just like you and Madame Madeline.
This is the part when Mr. Anthony
draws Napkin Man on a napkin.
Would it be okay if I sculpted Napkin Man
out of clay instead?
Why not?
Please! Okay!
[♪♪♪]
(Humming)
Voila!
Oh my goodness, that's very good.
Alright, let's do this.
Alright, then.
Are you ready to call Napkin Man?
In one, two, three...
ALLNapkin Man.
Hi, Mr. Anthony, hi Zahara,
and bonjour Madame Madeline.
Good to see you.
ALLHi, Napkin Man!
Hey, I'm made of clay today.
Hooray!
Whoops.
I can fix that.
Yep, perfect.
Now I'm ready to visit Jackie in Paris.

Ah, Paris.
The city of lights, people
and, whoa, bananas.
Now, that's what I call a big bunch of banana--
Whoa!
(Crash)
Napkin Man, are you alright?
I'm okay, I'm okay.
Sorry about the banana peels.
My boss loves bananas
and sometimes the slippery peels
fall out of the trash can.
That's okay, Jackie. How are things in Paris?
Fantastique.
I've been working for Madame La Banane.
You mean the world famous artist, Madame La Banane?
Yup. She loves bananas.
She draws them, paints them and sculpts them.
This is one of her most famous works.
I helped to make it.
We call it Bananarama.
I like it!
It's very appealing.
Get it?
"A-peeling", like peeling a banana?
Great joke, Napkin Man.
Would you like to see Madame La Banane's art studio?
Would I ever. Let's go!
Come on!
Napkin Man!
Madame La Banane--Ahhh!
(Crashes)
I'm okay, I'm okay.
Sorry about that, Napkin Man.
No worries, Madame La Banane.
I know you love... Whoa.
Will you look at that?
You like it?
It is my latest, greatest work.
I call it...
"La Grande Banane"
Ta da!
It's amazing.
Oh, but it is not yet finished, no.
It is not yet yellow enough.
Jackie, Napkin Man.
Assist me, please.
BOTHOf course, Madame La Banane.
And now, we paint!
(Giggling)
Oh.
Uh oh!
(Giggles)
Voila!
La Grande Banane is perfect!
Jackie, ma cher.
I could not have done this manifique creation
without you.
We have worked hard,
and now the time has come to stop.
Our banana work together is finis.
Finis, you mean finished?
Does that mean there's no more work for me to do?
This is true, Jackie.
I need to go on a vacation
to rest and relax
before I can work again.
Oh.
(Sighs)
Are you feeling okay, Jackie?
No, I really loved working with Madame La Banane.
And now that my job is over
I feel all sad and achy.
And I just want to curl up into a ball.
Hmm, I think we should do the shake n' ache.
To shake, shake, shake
that sad ache away!
Good idea!
Shake, shake, shake
shake, shake, shake, that ache away!
Shake, shake, shake shake, shake shake,
that ache away!
Whoa!
(Laughs)
Feel better, Jackie?
Yeah, but my time with Madame La Banane is still over.
And I don't want it to be.
Well, I know a song that just might help.

I would love to have a souvenir.
To help me remember the great Madame La Banane
and all the fun times we had working together.
But what should it be?
I know, Jackie should ask Madame La Banane
to make her one of her world famous banana sculptures.
Well, that's an excellent idea, Zahara.
And Jackie can help!
Before you go on vacation, Madame La Banane
there's one more thing.
Yes Jackie?
Can you make me a banana souvenir
to help me remember you?
Oui, oui, with plasir, Jackie.
And you must assist me, of course.
JACKIEIt's perfect.
Thank you Madame La Banane.
Hey, look what I made.
Slippery slippers.
Whoo!
Whee!
(Crashes)
I'm okay, I'm okay.
And that's the story
of how Napkin Man helped Jackie
find a souvenir
that would remind her of Madame La Banane
and all the fun times they had.
Maybe I should find a souvenir, too.
I have the perfect thing.
Wow, thanks Madame Madeline.
Now every time I look at the sculpture
I'll think of you.
I have an idea!
And this can be your souvenir to remember us.
Oh, Zahara that is so nice.
Merci, thank you.
