| - Narrator: It was a lovely first day of spring in Tarrytown. The kind of day that made you feel like everything was peaceful, wonderful, and full of— Big Jake: (from o.s.; under end of previous) Whoooooooaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Narrator: Uh...full of trouble. Brenda: Oh no! (Close-up; she has donned her hat and wearing her radio headset.) Big Jake! Can you read me?! Big Jake: WATCH OUT, BRENDAAAA!!! Brenda: Oh no, Big Jake! Brenda: Big Jake! Are you okay? Big Jake: I'm sorry I can't fly on that trip to Majestic Falls with you today, Jay Jay. I've grounded myself. Jay Jay: B-but we've been planning this for a long time! (Close-up.) Why can't you go? What's wrong, Big Jake? Big Jake: (groans) I have this...strange buzzing in my head, and—when it's happening, I—I can't concentrate. (Brenda walks up to him with a stepladder; she has removed her hat/headset.) So it isn't safe for me to fly. The plane has to be at his best when he's in the air. Jay Jay: Brenda, can't you fix Big Jake so he can fly with me? Brenda: That's the problem, Jay Jay—I can't find anything wrong. (To Big Jake) As far as I can tell, Big Jake should be as good as new. Big Jake: I'm sorry, Jay Jay, but— (Close-up.) —safety always comes first. (His propellers start spinning.) Right now, I have to...go get some rest. (backing up) I'll...I'll see you later. Brenda: Sorry, Jay Jay. Jay Jay: But...we've been planning this for a long time! Tracy: Jay Jay, he's right. Safety does come first. Jay Jay: This isn't fair! Jay Jay: I think I know what's wrong with Big Jake, Herky. Herky: Ya do? R-r-really? Jay Jay: Yes, I do. Big Jake doesn't like me anymore. (Tracy and Herky are shocked.) Tracy, Herky: WHAAAT?! Jay Jay: I know he used to, but...I'm not so sure he does, now. Tracy: Oh, we'd better follow him, Herky. I've never seen Jay Jay this sad before. Herky: Me neither-r-r, Tr-r-racy. Tracy: Jay Jay, don't be sad. Jay Jay: I wasn't a good enough friend for Big Jake. (Tracy and Herky join him; they proceed in a triangular formation.) I just know it. Tracy: (sounding slightly agreeable) You know, maybe you're right, Jay Jay. Maybe you really aren't a good friend after all. Jay Jay: What?! What do you mean, I'm not a good friend?! (Cut to Tracy.) Tracy: Well, if you were a good friend, you'd help find out what might be causing Big Jake's problem. Jay Jay: Oh...I never thought of that. Tracy, you're right! (Head-on view of the trio; Tracy smiles.) I've gotta get back right away so I can think of a way to help Big Jake! (He slingshots out of frame.) Jumpin' Jeeeeets!!! Tracy: (giggles) That's more like it. (She does the same.) Wahoooooo!!! Herky: Whoa...how do you guys do that, anyway? (giggles) Jay Jay: What's the matter with Big Jake? Tracy: What's the matter with Big Jake? Herky: There's a buzz in his head Jay Jay: Was it something I said? All: What's the matter with—Big Jake? Jay Jay: I'm searchin', but an answer can be found If we do a little snooping around Herky: Maybe he got stuck in a snowstor-r-rm * Tracy: On the first day of spring? * No, it's too warm All: What's the matter with Big Jake? Tell me, what's the matter with Big Jake? Is he falling apart? Jay Jay: Maybe I broke his heart All: What's the matter with—Big Jake? Jay Jay: Maybe he was flying much too high And he caught a nasty cold in the sky [Poor guy!] Tracy: Maybe his bolts need tightening (Herky looks over his shoulder as of earlier.) * Herky: Maybe he was scared by lightning (Tracy gasps.) * All: Frightening All: What's the matter with Big Jake? Tell me, what's the matter with Big Jake? He's not acting the same Jay Jay: Maybe I am to blame All: What's the matter with—Big Jake? Jay Jay: But if Brenda Blue couldn't figure out what was wrong, how can we? Tracy: Well, it won't hurt to try. That's what friends do. Now, let's think. The buzzing started right after Big Jake's last flight... Jay Jay: Check. Tracy: So maybe, we should get Big Jake's flight plan and follow it! Jay Jay: (gasps) And see if we can find out where he caught the buzz! Herky: Gr-r-reat idea, Jay Jay! Brenda: (tracing one of the yellow dashed lines) ...And then Big Jake flew all the way back to the airport. Narrator: Brenda Blue thought that their idea was really great, too. And so, she showed them Big Jake's last flight plan. (They exit on the end of this.) Brenda: (waving) Good luck! Narrator: They followed Big Jake's flight plan, which first took them right over Tarrytown. Jay Jay: I don't hear any buzzing. Jay Jay: How 'bout you? Herky: Nope. Tracy: Hmm, I guess Big Jake didn't catch the buzz here. Let's see, his next stop was Frosty Pines. Jay Jay: Let's go! Tracy: Well, nothing strange here at Frosty Pines. Jay Jay: It's me, Tracy. Big Jake doesn't like me anymore. (Cut to Tracy.) Tracy: Oh, be patient, Jay Jay. I know Big Jake likes you a lot. (Head-on view of the trio.) We'll find out what's wrong if we just keep trying. Herky: (from o.s.) Smiling Meadow? (They fly towards it.) This is Big Jake's favor-r-rite place. Jay Jay: I've never been here, before. I wonder why it's called "Smiling Meadow"? Tracy: Watch what happens when the wind blows! Tracy: (from o.s.) See? Jay Jay: (from o.s.) Wow! The flowers are making a smiling face! [Continuity error: This scene contradicts earlier episodes as Jay Jay has been to Smiling Meadow before.] Herky: Whooooaaaaaa!!! (He lets out a painful yell.) Tracy: (gasps) What's wrong, Herky? Herky: (grunting) B-b-b-buzzing! B-buzz, b-b-buzzing in my head!!! (Close-up of Tracy, who gasps.) Tracy: Just like Big Jake's buzzing, we've got to get Herky back to Brenda Blue. (Cut to Jay Jay.) Jay Jay: We'd better hurry, before Herky really flips out! Herky: I think I alr-r-ready have! Whoa...look out below...and above...and upside dowwwwwn!!! Jay Jay: Land on our wings, Herky, and we'll carry you back! Herky: R-r-righty-oh, Jay Jay! Tracy: A little lower, Herky. Herky: How am I doing, guys? Tracy: Keep it coming. Jay Jay: Almost there! Tracy: Nice and easy, nice and easy, Herky. Herky: Her-r-re I come!!! Herky: Thanks. Jay Jay: Herky was just fine until we flew over Smiling Meadow. Herky: Then, all I hear-r-rd was b-b-buzz, b-b-b-b-b-buzzing!!! Brenda: Well, was there anything unusual about the meadow? Jay Jay: I don't think so, Brenda. It was just filled with spring flowers. Herky: I flew in low to see the pr-r-retty flower-r-rs, and I caught the buzz! Brenda: Hmm... (Widen to frame the trio as she strives forward.) The buzzing started when you flew over the flowers. (They nod.) And it's the first day of spring. Hmm... (walks the other way, gasps) Wait a minute. (Close-up.) I think I figured out the mystery! Jay Jay, Herky: Really? Tracy: (under previous) Oh, what is it? Jay Jay: What is it, Brenda? (Back to Brenda.) Brenda: It's springtime. So the bees are busy buzzing around the flowers looking for nectar in them. Nectar is what they eat. The buzz you caught, must be...a bee! (Her perspective of the trio.) Jay Jay, Tracy: A bee?! (Back to Brenda, who nods.) Brenda: Flowers and buzzing equals...bees. (She takes a monkey wrench out of her fanny pack.) Now, all I have to do...is find him. Herky, let me climb in there and take a look around. Herky: Watch it, Br-r-renda, that tickles! Brenda: (from inside) Sorry, Herky. (singsong) Oh, little bee? Are you in here? Bee: It's about time! I've been stuck in there long enough! Herky: Uh, hi ther-r-e, Mr-r-r. Bee. What's your-r-r name? Bee: My name is Billy Bee. I'm looking for Bobby Bee. (Cut to Jay Jay.) Jay Jay: Bobby Bee? Who's Bobby Bee? (Billy Bee buzzes over to him.) Billy Bee: My little brother. He disappeared when another big plane flew over the field earlier today. Jay Jay: Hey, you must mean Big Jake! (Cut to Brenda, she has rejoined them.) Brenda: Which means, Big Jake's got a bee in his bonnet, too: Bobby Bee. Let's go find him. Brenda: Big Jake! (He sturs.) Good news. Big Jake: (groans, slightly drowsy) Huh? Oh, hi, Brenda. I sure could use some good news. Jay Jay: Brenda figured out what's wrong—now, she's going to de-buzz you. (Close-up of Big Jake.) Big Jake: Oh, really? Oh, that is good news. Brenda: (from inside) Let me take a look inside. (singsong) Oh, Bobby Bee? Your brother Billy Bee is here to take you home. Big Jake: (slightly confused) Bobby Bee? Uh, Billy Bee? Billy Bee: It's okay, Bobby Bee. No one's gonna hurt you. (Close-up on the two bees.) Bobby Bee: I'm sure glad to see you, Billy Bee. It was kind of scary in there. (Cut to Big Jake.) Big Jake: A bee! (Bobby Bee buzzes up to him.) Oh, of course, a bee was inside of me! But...why didn't you come out before when Brenda was fixing me? Bobby Bee: My mommy told me never to buzz—uh, I mean talk to strangers Big Jake: (chuckles) Well, that is good advice. (Widen to frame the others.) Hey, looks like I'm a-okay to fly again. Or should I say, bee okay? (Everyone laughs.) Brenda: I'll see ya later! Big Jake: (chuckles) Thanks a lot, Brenda. Brenda: You bet! Big Jake: Oh, I'm sure glad I won't have to miss flying to Majestic Falls with you today, Jay Jay. Jay Jay: (gasps) Really, you mean it, Big Jake? Big Jake: Well, sure I do. (His propellers start spinning.) I love flying with my best little buddy. (Jay Jay chuckles.) See ya on the runway! (He exits.) Tracy: See, Jay Jay? Just because Big Jake wasn't feeling good, didn't mean he stopped liking you. Jay Jay: You were right, Tracy. And thanks for helping me to be a good friend. Tracy: No problem. That's what friends are for, Jay Jay. Narrator: And so, that's how Jay Jay helped his friend Big Jake with his problem. Narrator: And when they finally went flying together, the first thing they did was follow the bees back to Smiling Meadow. Narrator: Just to help make sure that they got home safely.
