BEASTGreat googly moogly!

Ta-da!

Oh, I like that hat, Hamilton.

What’s that hat called?

This hat is called a fez.

Show me another hat, Hamilton.

This is called a stove top hat.

(Beast laughing)

There’s no smoke coming out of it.

Can I try on a hat, Hamilton?

Take your pick!

Hmm, oh, I like this propeller!

Good pick, Beast.

Hmm, I need a hat to keep the sun off my head.

Oh, a sombrero!

Hoo-wee!

I can’t wait to show Maggie my new hat.

MAGGIENice hat, Beast!

Thank you, Maggie.

You’re welcome!

What’s in the box, Maggie?

I brought something special

for us to play with today.

What is it?

It’s a train set!

See?

Here’s the engine.

I found the caboose!

Caboose, caboose!

I like that word, caboose!

We need a conductor!

I’ve got just the right hat!

Let’s play trains!

(Laughing)

(Whistle blowing)

All aboard!

Woo-woo!

Woo.

This train needs some passengers.

Wait here, Maggie, I’ll be right back!

What have you got in the bag, Beast?

MAGGIEThe Jelly Bean Team!

Woo hoo hoo hoo!

Would you look at that?

A choo-choo train!

(Jelly Beans cheering)

That train sure beats travelling in a paper bag.

It sure does!

And it’s an express!

The train is about to leave the station!

All aboard!

(Jelly Beans cheering)

Hey, that’s my seat!

I don’t see your name on it!

(Whistle blowing)

(Jelly Beans cheering)

Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!

(Gasping) Tunnel!

(Jelly Beans screaming)

(Beast laughing)

You make a great tunnel, Beast!

I do?

Oh, good!

I like being a tunnel.

But it’s not safe to stand near the train tracks.

(Laughing)

(Jelly Beans cheering)

Yay, oh, didn’t we see this before?

Woo-hoo! Woo!

The Jelly Bean Express is right on time!

Woo-woo!

What’s the matter?

JELLY BEANSStop the train!

Doesn’t this train go anywhere?

Why would you want to go anywhere else,

when we’re having such a good time right here?

Every train needs a place to go.

Where do you want to go?

How about we go over there?

I don’t wanna go over there.

How about we go over there?

No, not there!

(Jelly Beans protesting)

Aha!

Beast, Hamilton, I have an idea.

(Whispering)

(Beast giggling)

That’s a great place to go, Maggie.

It’s a good thing we have lots of track, Maggie.

Yeah!

Look out!

What is it, Maggie?

The big duck’s right behind you!

Shh!
[ … ]

Whew!

Uh-oh.

What are we gonna do, Maggie?

Hmm, we can’t go around it.

We have to do something!

Don’t worry, I know what to do!

(Grunting)

♪ I’ve been workin' on the railroad ♪

♪ All this live-long day!

Way to go, Beast!

Thank you, Maggie.

(Stomach grumbling)

I need something to eat.

Here you go, Beast!

Thank you!

Let’s go!

Hoo, that’s the last piece!

We did it!

We sure did!

We got all the way to the beach!

JELLY BEANSWoo woo!

The Jelly Bean Express is right on time!

(Jelly Beans cheering)

Sandcastle Beach is the end of the line!

JELLY BEANSHooray!

(Jelly Beans cheering)

Oh, I forgot my sunglasses.

Oh, no, now we have to go back!

(Whistle blowing)

All aboard!

(Jelly Beans cheering)

Sorry!

That’s okay, the beach is a place to go,

but you know what I think is even better?

ALLNo...

The ride home!

(All sighing)

Woo woo!

(Jelly Beans cheering)

What are we going to do today, Maggie?

Today is Hamilton’s turn to pick a game!

Oh, I wonder what he’ll pick.

Hamilton!

What game are we playing today, Hamilton?

Hoo-wee!

Hi Maggie, Beast.

Guess what we’re playing?

Dressing up in white clothes?

Is that a game?

It doesn’t sound very fun.

No, here, I’ll give you another hint.

Oh, I know!

It’s that hitting balls game.

Croquet!

Right!

I think that’s everything.

Let’s play croquet!

BOTHLet’s play croquet!

The perfect spot.

First, we have to set up the wickets.

Those are called... wickets?

Mm-hmm.

(Laughing) Wicket.

(Giggling) That’s a funny word!

Wicket, wicket, wicket, wicket, wicket, wicket.

(Laughing) It is kind of funny!

Wicket, wicket, wicket.

Wicket, wicket, wicket!

Wicket!

Wicket, wick--

All right!

Enough wicketing!

Okay.

HAMILTONHere we go.

Now, remember, Beast,

don’t just hit the ball as far as you can.

You have to hit the ball through all the wickets.

Like this.

Can I go now?!

Next is Maggie, then you, Beast.

Good sh*t, Maggie!

My turn?

It’s my turn now!

Now, remember, Beast, don’t just hit it...

As far as you can.

I hit it the farthest!

(Laughing)

Beast, you have to hit it lightly.

Through all the wickets!

Every single one!

But that will take all day!

My way is much quicker.

You’d better go and find your ball.

Oh, all right.

BOTHOops!

Where did they go?

I can’t see our croquet balls anywhere!

I’ll help!

Well, they must be around here somewhere.

Maggie?
[ … ]

Hamilton, where’d you go?

We’re here, Beast!

Oh, are we playing Hide and Seek now?

No, we’re just trying to find our croquet balls.

HAMILTONOw!

This grass is just too high for croquet.

We’ll have to cut it, then.

Only, we don’t have a lawn mower.

I might have something we can use!

Wait here!

Can I take another turn?

Are you going to hit it through the wickets?

Or hit it as far as you can?

I, well, I like hitting it as far as I can.

HAMILTONI’ve got them!

Nail clippers?

(Humming)

Um, I think that’s going to take too long, Hamilton.

(Laughing) I guess you’re right.

I’m getting hungry.

It’s too bad I don't eat grass,

or I could just eat it all up!

You don’t eat grass, but I know who does!

(Sheep bleating)

There they are!

Sheep eat grass.

Maybe they can help us.

Good idea!

Come on, sheep, come on.

Here, sheepy sheepy sheepy.

Hmm, let me try.

Hello, sheep.

We have some grass we need to cut,

it’s very green and looks delicious.

Could you please help us out?

(Sheep bleating)

Thank you very much!

Just follow us.

(Sheep bleating)

MAGGIELet’s round them up!

(Sheep bleating)

No, no, no, no, not that way!

Over here!

Shoo, shoo!

This way, this way, over here!

That’s it, nice little sheep, keep going.

(Sheep bleating)

MAGGIEYahoo!

Here you are, long, green, delicious grass!

Mmm, it does look good!

Look, they’re eating in the wrong direction!

No, no, no, not over there!

This way!

Shoo! Shoo!

Go over there!

Shoo!

I’ve got an idea.

Hello, sheep!

Excuse me!

Baa!

We want to play this game called croquet.

Do you know what croquet is?

(Sheep bleating)

Well, we’ve lost our croquet balls.

If you help us by eating the grass from here...

to here, then we can all play!

Please?

(Sheep bleating)

(Bleating)

Great googly moogly!

Look what they found!

(Everyone cheering)

Would you like to take the first turn?

Hoo-wee! Nice sh*t!

My turn!

I hit it the farthest!

(Sighing)

(Laughing)

Oh, Beast.

I spy with my little eye something covered in spots.

Is it a ladybug?

No.

Is it the flower?

(Giggling) No.

I give up.

Do you see anything covered in spots, Hamilton?

Could it be a ferocious Beast?

(Laughing) It’s you, Beast!

You’re covered in spots!

Oh, I am covered in spots.

(Giggling)

Hamilton got it right.

Now it’s his turn to choose.

Ooh ooh ooh!

I spy with my little eye...

A big egg?!

It’s the biggest egg I’ve ever seen!

It’s not an egg, it’s a jelly bean!

JELLY BEANSIt’s a jelly bean!

No, it’s an egg!
[ … ]

Maggie’s right, it's an egg.

I thought it was a jelly bean!

Hey, hands off, finders keepers.

Finders keepers?

Yeah, we found it, and we’re keeping it.

You’re not supposed to take

things that don’t belong to you.

Says who?

(Jelly Beans arguing)

Says Maggie, you should put it back.

Where did you find it?

Laying in the tall grass along the river.

We thought it was one of us.

Just, well, sleeping.

(Jelly Beans agreeing)

Well, its mommy is going to want it back.

It’s an egg.

Well, we’re not carrying it back.

(Jelly Beans exclaiming)

Yeah, can you take it back?

We’re tired!

I told you we were gonna get into trouble!

Hey, what do I know?

He sure did look like a jelly bean.

What are we going to do, Maggie?

We’re going to put the egg back.

It’s an enormous egg.

And it’s a long way to the River of Dreams.

Not when you’ve got help.

Beast?

I can do it, Maggie.

(Gasping)

I broke it!

Oh, I broke it!

Now we’ll never get it back.

No, you didn’t, Beast!

It’s hatching!

(Quacking)

Ahhh!

(Quacking)

Maggie, help!

It’s chasing me!

(Screaming)

(Giggling) Cut it out!

That tickles!

Look at that, Maggie,

the baby duck thinks the Beast is his daddy!

That’s because he was the first thing

it saw when it hatched!

Ducks are very affectionate.

And so are ferocious Beasts.

Can I keep him, Maggie? Can I?

Wild animals are nice to watch,

but they’re not so easy to keep.

We’ll look after him just until we find its mommy.

(Quacking)

What’s the matter, little ducky?

Baby ducks need a warm nest to rest in.

I know! Hamilton, peel that spot off.

Now, put it on the ground.

Okay!

Now, fold up the edges to make it look like a nest!

There you go!

(Quacking)

He likes it!

I have just the thing to make

the baby duck feel right at home!

(Horn honking)

(Quacking)

He likes it, Hamilton!

(Maggie quacking)

Good quacking, Maggie!

(Quacking)

You try, Beast!

(Clearing throat)

Moo!

Try again, Beast.

Moo!

Ferocious beasts cannot quack.

Never mind, you’re still a good daddy duck.

(Quacking)

What is it, little duck?

(Quacking)

I think he’s hungry!

What do ducks eat?

I don’t know!

Do you know, Maggie?

(Quacking)

Baby ducks do not eat pumpkin muffins.

(Blowing raspberry)

Baby ducks do not eat hotdogs.

How about some green relish?

(Blowing raspberry)

Baby ducks do not eat hot dogs with green relish, either.

No green relish?!

What do they eat?

Baby ducks eat crackers!

Crackers always make me thirsty!

Oh, my!

(Beast laughing)
[ … ]

I think he wants to go swimming!

(Quacking)

(Gasping) It’s an empty nest!

(Honking horn)

Over here!

MAGGIEThis is where the Jelly Beans

must have found the big egg.

(Quacking)

That’s right, little duck, you wait here for your mommy.

Bye bye, ducky!

It’s been nice knowing you!

Don’t worry, Beast, the baby duck’s mommy

knows where to find him.

(Quacking)

No, little duck, you have to stay in your nest

so your mommy can find you!

Hurry, let’s hide behind

that tree before he follows you again!

I hope this works.

(Quacking)

This is going to be more difficult than I thought.

(Loud quacking)

Don’t look at me.

(Quacking)

(Quacking)

Bye bye, little duck.

Bye bye!

(Quacking)

Do you think he’ll remember me, Maggie?

Who could forget you, Beast?

(Quacking)

(Laughing) Hey, Maggie, he remembered!

What’s the matter?

They grow up so fast.
