BEASTGreat googly moogly.

MAGGIE"What’s In the Bag?

I can’t wait to see what you made for lunch, Maggie.

I hope you like it.

And there’s an extra special treat for dessert.

I was perfectly willing to make the lunch.

MAGGIEBut you always do it.

I thought you liked my lunches.

Of course we do, and I’m sure my lunch

won’t be nearly as good as yours always are.

Oh, well, I wouldn’t say that.

Did you cut the crusts off the bread like Hamilton does?

No, I forgot.

It’s just my little touch.

This looks like a good place to stop.

Oh, goody. I’m hungry.

(Slurping)

(Chewing)

This is really...

delicious, Maggie.

(Lips smacking)

It’s too dry.

I forgot the jelly.

Just remember next time that peanut butter

is too dry on plain bread.

A spoonful of strawberry jam

with the peanut butter would have helped.

(All slurping)

I’m ready for my extra special dessert now.

(Rustling)

Wait, did you hear something?

No.

(Rustling and whining)

There it is again.

(Indistinct whining)

It sounds like it’s coming from in there.

But the only thing in here is our dessert.

Oh!

It moved.

(Chattering)

Those are the jelly beans I brought for dessert.

I love jelly beans. Open the bag.

(Indistinct chattering)

(Angry chattering)

Put up your dukes.

Oh, my. Please don’t quarrel.

Get in there and fight. Hey!

Now what’s the big idea?

Stop that.

Must you shout?

I’m sorry, but why are you quarreling?

Greenie here thinks he’s better than the rest of us.

Come on, Red, let’s see what you got.

I’m ready, come on.

Imagine.

Who does he think he is?

VOICEFight, fight, fight!

Will you please stop?

What are you?

I’m a pig.

A pig? What’s a pig?

A pig is a very friendly, intelligent animal.

Look at this one. He’s as big as a mountain.

(Laughing)

I’m not a mountain. I’m a ferocious beast.

Stop it!

(Laughing)

You’re tickling!

Greenie here thinks we should all be green.

We greens are the best. We are better than all the rest.

You’re the best?

And what about purple?

No way!

Yellow, mellow.

Red forever!

Let’s fix that jelly bean machine...

Hmm. Beast, Hamilton, I have a plan.

(Whispering)

Attention, jelly beans!

(Indistinct chattering)

MAGGIEIt’s too hot to argue.

Wouldn’t you all like to go swimming?

Swimming? What’s swimming?

You jump in some water and splash around.

It’s lots of fun!

And very cooling.

Okay, so where’s the water?

I will make you your very own swimming pool.



(Indistinct chattering)

I’m not so sure about this.

Oh!
[ … ]

(Gasping)

Hey, it is cool.

(All cheering and laughing)

My colour’s gone.

So is mine.

Aren’t you pleased? Now you’re all the same.

I want to be green again.

I used to be a lovely purple.

I want to be red again.

I think we should all be the same colour.

And what colour should that be?

Yellow, of course.

No, never!

Yellow? Yuck!

No, orange is the best.

Purple’s much better than yellow.

You looked beautiful when you were all different colours.

She’s right, you know.

But what can we do now?

If you promise not to quarrel anymore,

I think I can give you back your colours.

How are you going to do that?

I’ll use the stuff for making coloured icing.

Do you really think it will work?

We’ll find out soon. Here comes Hamilton.



All right now, anyone who wants to be red, jump in.

Oh, I don’t know about this.

Go on!

Do you want to be red or not?

All right, here I go.

(All cheering)

Oh, you’re brave.

Ooh, very nice.

(Jelly beans laughing and cheering)

That was an excellent idea, Hamilton.

ALLThree cheers for Hamilton!

Hooray, hooray, hooray!

Gee, thanks.

It’s getting late. We have to go now.

Goodbye. And please come back and visit.

MAGGIEWe’ll be back.

Bye-bye. Bye, now.

Maggie, we didn’t get to eat the dessert.

(Laughing)

MAGGIEGoodbye!

Arrivederci!

Bye! Bye-bye!

Farewell! See you later!

MAGGIE"Beastly Picture."

(Maggie humming)

Hi, Maggie.

Hi, Hamilton.

(Humming)

Now give me a really ferocious look.

Hmm.

(Growling)

No, hmm.

(Snarling)

Hmm.

(Roaring)

No.

Ooh.

(Yelling)

Perfect!

(Growling)

When can I see it?

Pretty soon, Beast. Pretty soon.

BEASTDoes it really look ferocious?

It certainly does.

(Giggling)

Can I see it now?

MAGGIE (Laughing)Okay, Beast.

Ooh, great googly moogly.

It does look ferocious.

Just like me.

(All laughing)

(Sheep bleating)

Did you hear that?

Look, the dream sheep.

(Bleating)

I’m going to take a ride on one of their clouds.

Who wants to come with me?

But I just baked a batch of pumpkin muffins.

Mmm, I love pumpkin muffins.

Okay.

I’ll see you later.

(Bleating)

Bye! Bye.

Thank you.

Here you go, Beast. They’re still warm.

Mmm-mmm.

(Humming)

Look out!

Whew, that was close.

HAMILTONWatch out...

for the paint.

Uh-oh.

How are you going to tell Maggie?

Maybe she won’t notice.
[ … ]

But the sky has red spots all over it.

Maybe I can wipe them off.

You’d better be careful, Beast,

or else you’re going to...

rip it.

Uh-oh. Now I’ve really done it.

Now she’s going to notice.

I know. I’ll paint a picture myself.

One that looks just the same.

Hmm, a little higher.

(Hamilton grunting)

Oops, too high.

A bit lower.

(Grunting)

It would be a lot easier

if you could remember what you look like.

Hmm, have to hold this crayon tighter.

HAMILTONGently, gently.

(Sighing)

Perhaps you should try some paint instead.

Uh-huh.

(Grunting)

Oops!

I know.

Be careful you don’t...

(Spitting)

...bite too hard.

BEASTI can’t help it.

I am ferocious, you know.

You need to use something that won’t break.

Something that won’t break. Hmm.

(Gasping)

I know.

Oh, gently, Beast. Gently.

(Laughing)

I’m painting, just like a real...

artist.

(Sighing)

Where’s the red paint?

You spilled it, remember?

(Sighing)

But a ferocious beast has to have red polka dot spots.

Hmm, maybe you can find something else that’s red.

Something red.

Hmm, I know.

They’re perfect.

What are you doing, Beast?

Making spots.

Well, what do you think?

Uh...

It does have two eyes.

Just like Maggie’s painting.

And four legs.

Just like Maggie’s painting.

But I don’t think it’s going to fool her.

I should have known.

I’m a ferocious beast, not an artist.

And there I was,

floating on a cloud with the dream sheep.

I can’t wait to paint a picture of everything I saw.

(Both gasping)

You’re going to paint a picture?

(Gulping)

Right now?

Mm-hmm.

But, uh... aren’t you hungry?

Thanks, Hamilton.

Whew.

I can eat it while I’m painting.

(Laughing)

You’ll need to move if I’m going to use my easel.

Um, uh...oh, uh.

You sure are acting strange, Beast.

Is something wrong?

(Maggie gasping)

MAGGIEWhat happened?

I tried to make it look just like yours, but...

(Gasping)

It’s beautiful!

It is? It is?

I never knew you were such a talented artist, Beast.

Whoo-wee! Did you hear that, Beast?

You’re an artist.

I’m an artist!

I’ve never seen anything like it.

You can have it if you want.

Oh, I couldn’t. Unless...

Unless what?

I can paint another picture of you.

You can keep the new painting, and I can keep this one.

Will it look really ferocious,

just like the first one?

Of course it will.

After all, you are a ferocious beast.

(All laughing)

MAGGIE"The Push-Me Popper."

Hi, Maggie. Who’s the present for?

Hi, Beast. It’s for Hamilton.

Whoa!

Hamilton, come out and open your present.
[ … ]

My present?

Where?

BEASTWho’s it from? Who's it from?

Phew!

Hi, Hamilton.

Hi, Maggie. What a beautiful present.

It’s for you, Hamilton.

I entered your pumpkin muffin recipe in a baking contest,

and you won first prize.

I did?

For my pumpkin muffins?

I’ve never won a prize!

I’m really happy for you, Hamilton.

Come on, open it up.

Let’s see, if I’m very careful,

I can save the ribbon.

(Sighing)

I better fold it so it doesn’t get wrinkled.

Hamilton, please hurry. I want to see what you won.

I want to save this paper.

It’s beautiful.

Dum-de-dum-dum-dum,

dum-de-dum-dum-dum.

Hamilton, will you please hurry.

It might be something to eat.

I never thought of that.

Do you suppose it’s something to eat, Maggie?

(Laughing)

I don’t know.

But perhaps you should speed it up a bit.

I just wanted this wonderful moment to last.

The best part of a surprise is before

you discover what it is.

(Sighing)

Dear Hamilton,

you really are a wise little pig.

And I love you.

(Gasping)

Oh, it’s a push-me popper.

I always wanted a push-me popper.

Oh, isn’t it the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?

I can’t believe it. My very own push-me popper.

Oh, this is my new most absolute favourite toy.

Hamilton, let me try, please.

Just wait, Beast. I’m playing with it now.

Hamilton, we were going to pick some blueberries

for a pie today, remember?

Oh, yes, I forgot.

Wait, I’ll put my push-me popper away.

I hope we can find a lot of blueberries.

Don’t you love to pick blueberries, Beast?

Beast!

Huh, what did you say?

I said, don’t you love to--

All set? Let’s go.

Coming, Beast?

(Yawning)

I think I’ll take a little nap.

♪ Blueberries, blueberries, I love them so ♪

♪ They’ll never know how I love them so ♪

♪ Blueberries, blueberries, I love them so ♪

♪ They’ll never know how I love them so ♪

I just want to look at it.

I’m sure Hamilton wouldn’t mind if I just look.

I’ll just give it a little push.

(Popping)

Ooh, this is fun.

Wee!

Whoa!

(Grunting)

(Crashing)

(Gasping)

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

♪ Blueberries, blueberries, I love them so ♪

♪ They’ll never know how I love them so ♪

We sure got a lot of blueberries, Hamilton.

Yes, this pail is heavy.

Hi. Did you have a nice nap?

Um, no. I, uh, couldn’t sleep after all.

(Laughing nervously)

So you picked a lot of blueberries?

We sure did.

You’d better get started on that blueberry pie

right away, Hamilton.

I have plenty of time.

I want to play with my push-me popper.

Great googly moogly’s, Hamilton.

You promised to bake a pie.

I’ve been sitting here just waiting for you.

Mmm, pie.

I said I’d bake a pie, and I will.

But first I’m gonna play with my push-me popper.

(Gasping)

You broke my push-me popper.

Oh! Oh, no!

(Gasping)

How do you know it was me?

Who else could have done it?

There’s no one else here.

Now, tell the truth.
[ … ]

Did you break my push-me popper?

My beautiful push-me popper.

My favourite toy!

Oh, Hamilton. (Sobbing)

I didn’t mean to.

So you admit you broke my push-me popper.

How could you?

I’m sorry. I just wanted to try it.

But it was mine.

Please forgive me.

I’ll give you something of mine to make up for it.

I don’t want anything but my push-me popper.

Well, I’ll give you my spots.

HAMILTONWhat would I do with your spots?

Well, they’d make nice place mats for your new dishes.

MAGGIEHey, you two, look.

I fixed it. The top just popped off.

I put the balls inside and snapped the top back on.

It’s as good as new.

It is?

Does it work?

(Popping)

Yes. Thanks, Maggie!

BEASTOh, I’m so glad.

I’m really sorry, Hamilton.

Time to shake hands and be friends again.

I shouldn’t have been so angry.

Oh, you had every right.

I never should have touched your toy.

Would you really have given me your spots?

Of course.

That was awfully nice of you.

BEASTWell, it was only fair.

I’ve made up my mind.

You can play with my push-me popper whenever you want to.

Thank you, Hamilton.

Here, Beast, you play with it first.

No, it’s your push-me popper. You go first.

After you.

No, after you.

I insist.

Oh, tumbling teddy bears.

Let’s put the push-me popper away,

and get started on that blueberry pie.

Good idea.

BEASTPie?

Great googly mooglys.

(Popping)
