Narrator: There's nothing the little planes of Tarrytown enjoyed more than a rousing game of Follow the Leader. And that's just what Jay Jay, Snuffy and Tracy were up to on this fine summer day. Jay Jay: Hey, you guys are really good at Follow the Leader. (Close-up.) Okay, here's a hard one. Do exactly what I do. Here goes! (Grunting, he stands on one wheel; cut to the other two.) Tracy: Okay! (She and Snuffy follow suit; Snuffy loses balance.) Snuffy: Whoops! (stammering) I can't do that one. Jay Jay: Watch this, guys! (He taxis in a circle.) Wheeeeeeeee! Tracy: You're so good on your wheels, Jay Jay! Snuffy: Yeah. You can do stuff on the ground that we can't even do in the air. Jay Jay: Aww, hey, you guys, it's nothin'. But I couldn't do it without my super-duper wheels! Brenda: (on speaker) Attention, all planes. Attention, all planes. Please report to Brenda Blue's workshop for brand new wheels. Jay Jay: Huh? Brenda: (on speaker) I said, for brand new wheels. Tracy: New wheels! (jumps in place) Yahoo! Snuffy: New wheels! (does the same) Yahoo! Tracy: That's really good, Snuffy. But I'm not the leader, so you don't have to do what I do. I'm just excited about getting new wheels! Snuffy: Uh...oh. but that's okay, Tracy. I'm excited, too! Tracy: Are you coming, Jay Jay? Jay Jay: (shaking his head, sarcastically) Nah. I'll go...in a few minutes. I...I have to practice if I'm gonna keep being really good at Follow the Leader. Tracy: Okay, see ya later! (She and Snuffy taxi into the hangar.) Narrator: Tracy and Snuffy knew that the Bible says our bodies are important— (Cut to Jay Jay on the end of this; he eyes his wheels with deep concern.) —but Jay Jay wasn't so sure. Jay Jay: (grumpy tone) Who needs new wheels? (normal) I like the wheels I have now. We've been together for a long, long time. Jay Jay: Right guys? You are so comfy— (He spins around.) —and you fit just right. We make a great team. Jay Jay: What's this talk of changing and growing Throwing parts away that aren't mine? (He turns around once.) If there's wear and tear, it's not showing Look at me, I'm fine Jay Jay: Yesterday, my wheels got a workout Never once did I get a sign (He settles into takeoff position; a zoom down the runway, and the jet plane rises off the tarmac.) I flipped and dipped and bounced on the runway Look at me, I'm fine Jay Jay: How can I think of changing my tires? Look at all the places we've been The takeoffs, the landings, they're so understanding More than rubber, these tires are friends Jay Jay: Look at me, I'm fine (He floats to the opposite side.) Look at me, I'm fine (Now he rises upward further.) Look at me, I'm fine I'm Fine I'm Fine Jay Jay: Woohoo! (chuckles) Look at me, Brenda! I'm fine! Jay Jay: Look at me, I'm fine Let the rest of my fellow fliers Take their rightful places in line I don't feel the need to retire Look at me, and what do you see? Oh, look at me, I'm fine (spoken) I'm fine Narrator: And for little planes, one important thing is to get new wheels. Tracy: Look at that, Snuffy! Now, we have brand new wheels! Snuffy: Neat-o! Tracy: But...where's Jay Jay? He said he'd be here in a minute, but that was a while ago. Snuffy: Uh...he might still be practicing being the leader. Tracy: If we see him, we have to tell him he needs to get new wheels. Brenda's worried that his old ones might be worn out—when they get worn out, they aren't safe anymore. Snuffy: Okay, Tracy. Tracy: Now, let's go try out our new wheels! (Snuffy nods; she turns around and taxis slowly forward.) Wheeeeeeeeee!!! Snuffy: (does the same) Yippeeeeeeeeee!!! Tracy: My new wheels feel great! Snuffy: (chuckles) The wind tickles my new wheels. (chuckles more) Tracy: I can stop even better than before! Snuffy: Me too! Let's go find Jay Jay and show him what we can do now! Narrator: They found Jay Jay, but he still wasn't ready to tell them that he didn't want new wheels. Jay Jay: Oh, I'll get my new wheels later. Right now— (Close-up.) —let's play another game of Follow the Leader. (Cut to the other two.) Snuffy: Okay! Now that I've got the best wheels I've ever had, I can be the leader. See if you can do this! Tracy: I certainly can with my new wheels! Jay Jay: So can I! Jay Jay: Whoaaaa!!! Jay Jay: (between pants) No problem... (chuckles weakly) ...just a little hitch. Uh, go ahead, Snuffy. Snuffy: In my new wheels, I can even do your favorite trick, Jay Jay! (He stands on one wheel and taxis o.s.) Wheeeeeee! Tracy: Me too! (does the same) Wheeeeeee! Jay Jay: Aww, Snuffy, that's too easy. I know this one like the back of my wing. (starts to stand on one wheel) Watch this. Jay Jay: Wheeeeeee... Tracy: Are you okay, Jay Jay? Jay Jay: (panting) Uh...why don't you two go ahead, uh...without me? I'm gonna take a...little rest. Tracy: Okay, Jay Jay. (as she and Snuffy leave) Come on, Snuffy, it's my turn to be the leader. Narrator: Jay Jay didn't really need rest. Narrator: The truth was, he started to worry that he waited too long to get new wheels, and now couldn't play Follow the Leader as well as Tracy and Snuffy.) Jay Jay: (groaning) What's the matter with me? What's wrong with you, little wheels? Narrator: Fortunately for him— (Brenda walks up to him.) —who should show up just then, but Brenda Blue. Brenda: Hi, Jay Jay. (pauses) Hey, why the sad face? Jay Jay: (dejectedly) Hi, Brenda. (Close-up.) I used to be really good at Follow the Leader, but now, I'm not, and I don't know why! (Widen to frame Brenda.) Brenda: Come back to my workshop. I have a hunch I know why. Then, within a jiff, we can fix things quickly, and get you right back into the game. Come on! Brenda: Hmm...yup, Jay Jay, just as I suspected. Your old wheels are worn out— (stands up) —you need new wheels, right away. Jay Jay: But Brenda, I really, really don't wanna take off my old wheels. I like these guys. I think they make me really fast. (Close-up.) Besides, we've been through a lot together, my wheels and I. Jay Jay: (voiceover) We've gone camping together. Jay Jay: (voiceover) We've had all kinds of fun adventures with Tracy, Snuffy and Herky... Jay Jay: (voiceover) And no matter what, these wheels have always brought me home safe and sound. Jay Jay: Well, Brenda, if I don't have these wheels— (Widen to frame Brenda.) —I just won't feel right. Brenda: I understand, Jay Jay. I used to feel the same way...about these. Jay Jay: What are those? (Close-up of Brenda.) Brenda: My super-duper sneakers. (sighs) I loved 'em. They were the best sneakers I ever wore here at Tarrytown airport. Just think of it. Brenda: (voiceover) When you guys needed my help fast— (Big Jake crashes into a tree.) —these sneakers got me to you in record time. Brenda: That's how they got really worn out. (Widen to frame Jay Jay.) The important thing to remember is, old wheels and old sneakers aren't the safest things to wear. Brenda: As soon as they start to go bad, wheels and sneakers can make you slide when you least expect it. If those wheels get any more wear on 'em, they might not stop you next time. (She puts her sneakers away.) Jay Jay: But— Brenda: Look, Jay Jay. Just imagine what might happen— (Close-up of Jay Jay.) —if you couldn't stop when you were landing. Brenda: (voiceover) Think of it. One minute, you're soaring through the skies at top speed without a care in the world. Brenda: (voiceover) Then, you're coming in for an incredible landing. You touch down, and start to zoom down the runway toward the hangar— Brenda: (voiceover) —But then, these worn-out wheels can't stop you! Jay Jay: Uh-oh! I-I'm gonna run right into the hangar! (He does just that.) Whoaaaaaaa!!! Jay Jay: Wow. I never thought of that. (Widen to frame Brenda.) If I couldn't stop, I might've had a bad accident. But— (Close-up.) —I suppose if I got new wheels, that wouldn't happen. (Cut to Brenda, shaking her head.) Brenda: Nope. (Wide shot.) Jay Jay: (firmly) Okay. I guess...I'm ready for my new wheels, then, Brenda. You were right all along. (Suddenly dejected) But you know, I still love my old wheels a lot, and I always will. Brenda: Hmm...maybe you can keep them around, just like I keep my old sneakers. (She closes her toolbox.) Jay Jay: I can? But how? (Close-up of Brenda.) Brenda: Well... Jay Jay: Hey, guys! Whaddya think? (He turns from side to side.) Tracy: Cool, new wheels, Jay Jay! Snuffy: Yeah, they're nice! Jay Jay: Well, I'm glad I have new wheels, now, 'cause I have to be safe. But I'll always love my old wheels, too. Jay Jay: And now that Brenda's done this to them, they can always be with me. Hey there, little wheel buddies! You guys were great, but the important thing is, now I'm safe. Sure I'll miss my old wheels— (He turns back to the others.) —but I have a feeling my new wheels and I will have lots of fun times together. Tracy: (giggling) You're right, Jay Jay. Think of all the new adventures we're gonna have! Snuffy: I can't wait to get started! (His propeller starts spinning on the end of this.) Jay Jay: Alright, you guys, I think it's time for us to play the best game of Follow the Leader, ever. Tracy: Yeah, whoo! Snuffy: Let's go! Jay Jay: Look what comes with changing and growing (He gets down; Tracy and Snuffy follow behind, doing the same.) Tracy, Snuffy: Sure was how your new tires shine (Brenda crosses over to Jay Jay, and Tracy hops from one wheel to another.) Jay Jay: I was so afraid to let go Brenda: (spoken) But look at you (singing) And how you came through Jay Jay: Yeah, look at me, I'm fine (spoken) I'm fine Narrator: So, that's how Jay Jay got his new wheels. (Close-up of him, eyeing his wheels with confidence.) and how we learn that if we keep ourselves in good shape— (Wide shot, one by one, each plane exits as Brenda waves.) —we can do all the wonderful things that God has planned for us.
