Narrator: One spring morning, just as the sun was rising, Brenda Blue had gotten up nice and early— Brenda: So she could say goodbye to Big Jake, Jay Jay, Tracy and Snuffy— (They gather round on the end of this.) who were going away on a long trip. Snuffy: Brenda, is Pangabula Island as beautiful as everybody says it is? Brenda: Hey, that's right! It's your first trip there, isn't it, Snuffy? Snuffy: It sure is—it's my first long trip, ever! [Continuity error: Snuffy has been to Pangabula before in the past.] Brenda: Well, it is beautiful there, and you're going to love it on Pangabula Island. Brenda: (voiceover) The sky is blue, the breeze is cool, and the most amazing tree lives there. Brenda: It's called a Sparkleberry Tree— (Close-up of it.) —because it has berries on it that sparkle in the sunlight. Snuffy: Wowwee! I can't wait to see Pangabula Island! Jay Jay: Yeah, let's hit the skyway! See you later, Brenda! (Big Jake exits.) Tracy: Bye, Brenda! See you when we get back! Brenda: Fly carefully! Have a safe trip! Narrator: So, Big Jake, Tracy, Jay Jay and Snuffy all took off on their long trip. Now, Pangabula Island was far away. Narrator: It was farther away than Tarrytown... Narrator: It was farther away than Sandy Landing. It was so far away, that to get there... Narrator: You had to travel over the ocean. (Dissolve to a head-on, below view of them.) Yes, it was going to take a long, long time to get to Pangabula Island. Snuffy: Uh, are we there, yet? Jay Jay, Tracy: Huh? Big Jake: (chuckles) No, Snuffy. We have a long, long way to go before we get to Pangabula Island. Jay Jay: We've only just started, little guy. Snuffy: Oh. Tracy: (from o.s.) But don't worry, Snuffy. (Cut to frame her.) It's worth the long trip. Pangabula Island is the greatest place ever. Snuffy: Uh, are we there, yet? Tracy: Oh, no. Jay Jay: Something tells me this is gonna be a loooong trip. Narrator: The planes flew all morning until it was noon, and they still had far to go. Snuffy: (looks toward Jay Jay and Tracy) Uh, are we there, yet? Jay Jay: No, Snuffy. We're not there, yet. (He zooms forward until he meets with Big Jake.) Big Jake, why does Snuffy keep asking us, "Are we there, yet?" Big Jake: Well Jay Jay, Snuffy's a very little plane, and very little planes get bored easily on long trips like this. Jay Jay: So what are we gonna do? Big Jake: Well, Jay Jay, God gave us this special day, and He wants us to to be happy. So, maybe a fun game will help. Jay Jay: Cool! That oughta work! Thanks, Big Jake! (He backs away to his friends.) Big Jake: You're welcome, Jay Jay. Jay Jay: Hey, Tracy. Big Jake says we should give Snuffy a game to play so he won't keep asking, "Uh, are we there, yet?". Tracy: Great idea. Jay Jay: Hey Snuff, old buddy, old pal! I've decided to teach you the best flying ever. It's called..."Count the Seagulls". Snuffy: Count the Seagulls? How do you play that? Jay Jay: Well, first, you have to look for seagulls. And then, you have to count 'em. Snuffy: Cool! Uh...but...what's a seagul? Tracy: (chuckles, glances downward) That's a seagull, Snuffy! Snuffy: That white bird? Okay, I can count those. One... Snuffy: (from o.s.) Ooh, ooh! There's another one! Two... (A third gull enters.) And another one! (Back to him.) Three...four... Jay Jay: This oughta keep him busy for the whole trip! Tracy: (giggles mischievously) Great! (They go off.) Snuffy: (from o.s.) Five... (Back to him.) Six... Narrator: Now, that's just what might have happened. Except, there was one small problem... Snuffy: Seven...uh, eight... Narrator: Counting seagulls was a lot like counting sheep, and counting sheep makes little planes sleepy. (Snuffy yawns.) So the more seagulls Snuffy counted, the more he wanted to go to sleep. Snuffy: (wearily) Nine...uh, ten... Narrator: And finally, he did fall fast asleep. Jay Jay: Hey Snuffy, you're not counting anymore. What's wrong? (He backs up.) Snuffy? (gasps) Oh, no! Tracy: What's wrong? (Jay Jay rejoins.) Jay Jay: Snuffy's gone! He's— (glancing downward) Look! He's down there! He's fast asleep and flying all over the place! Big Jake: What? Oh no, we've got to catch him! Jay Jay: Snuffy? Snuffy! Snuffy!! Snuffy: Oh, hi there, Jay Jay. (yawns slightly) Uh, are we there yet? Jay Jay: (agitated) No, Snuffy, we're not there, yet! Snuffy: Oh. (pauses) Hey, uh...Jay Jay, how come you're flying upside down? Narrator: So, the trip continued. And soon, it was afternoon. Snuffy: (anxiously) Uh, are we there, yet? Jay Jay: (groans) No, Snuffy. We're not there, yet. Tracy: Look, Snuffy, maybe we should play another game. One that won't make you fall asleep. Snuffy: What game? Tracy: (from o.s.) Well... (Cut to her.) It's called,..uh...it's called... (She notices something o.s.) Hey, look! Jay Jay: (from o.s.) Wow! Balloons! (Back to Tracy.) Tracy: That's the game we can play. It's called "Name the Colors of the Balloons". This is the way you play the game— Snuffy: Ooh, ooh! Don't tell me! Let me guess! I bet in this game, you have to...name the colors of the balloons! Tracy: He-e-ey, how'd you figure that out? Snuffy: I'm kinda smart sometimes, I guess. (chuckles, turns head) Okay, okay. Let me go first. (Wide shot of the quartet.) I see a red one...and a blue one...and... Snuffy: Hey, what's that color? I know it, but I can't remember it. Maybe if I get a closer look. (He flies off.) Big Jake: Hey, w-where's Snuffy going? Jay Jay: To get a better look at one of those balloons. Big Jake: He's going way off course—if we don't get him back here, it'll make our trip even longer. Jay Jay, Tracy: Oh no! SNUFFY!! Snuffy: I know the name of that color, but I just can't remember what it's called. (Jay Jay and Tracy meet up with him.) Tracy: You mean, that purple one? Snuffy: No, I-I've gotta get a little closer. (Off he goes.) Jay Jay: Snuffy, wait! It has to be the purple one! (They follow him.) Snuffy: No, it's not! (Jay Jay and Tracy join.) It's that third one—I can't remember the name of that color! Jay Jay, Tracy: (from o.s., sharply) It's purple!! Snuffy: (from o.s.) Oh. (Back to him.) Yeah. That's it, uh...purple. Narrator: Now, it was nighttime, and Snuffy was really getting bored. He needed to pray and be more thankful for the wonderful trip with his friends. But instead, Snuffy kept asking the same question over and over. Snuffy: Uh, are we— Jay Jay, Tracy: Uh, no! Narrator: Suddenly, there was a voice on Jay Jay's radio. Oscar: (over radio) Calling Jay Jay. Come in, Jay Jay. Jay Jay: It's Oscar. Jay Jay here, go ahead. Oscar: Well, Brenda told me you and the others were on your way to Pangabula Island, I just wanted to...check in on ya and see how things are goin'. Jay Jay: (over radio) Well okay I guess. Except... Oscar: Wha...except what? (Back to the quartet.) Jay Jay: Well, except Snuffy keeps asking, "Uh, are we there yet?" over and over again. We tried a whole bunch of games, but...he still keeps asking, "Uh, are we there yet?". (Back to Oscar.) Oscar: Well now, the youngster must be bored. But you know, there's sure one fire way to fix this! Jay Jay: (over radio) Really? There is? Oscar: Why, sure there is! You have to sing a happy trip-traveling song! (Back to Jay Jay.) Jay Jay: Do you know a happy trip-traveling song? Oscar: (over radio) Why, yes I do, Jay Jay. And sometimes when we sing, it can make our hearts happy. Jay Jay: (over radio) I like to sing. Oscar: A song, a song To move the day along Tracy: You can go adventuring But bring along a song to sing A song, [A song] a song [A song] To move the day along Jay Jay: Yeah! Jay Jay: A game, a game So things aren't all the same All around, it's blue So we need something fun to do And it's a game, a game (Overhead shot, the quartet zooming off; the sky partially light blue beneath them.) So things aren't all the same Snuffy: A friend, a friend To be there at the end Jay Jay: Like me? Snuffy: You can go exploring But without one, it gets boring So, a friend, a friend To be there at the end Jay Jay: Count on me! Snuffy: Yeah. Big Jake: We're through, we're through There's nothing more to do I see land below And now it's time for us to go And so we're through, we're through All but Oscar: Old Oscar, we thank you Big Jake: Hey, everybody, we're here! Snuffy: Huh? We're here so soon? Jay Jay, Tracy: What?!! Tracy: Snuffy, how can you say we're here so soon, when all you did this whole trip was ask, "Uh, are we there yet?" (She shakes her head.) Snuffy: Uh, I guess I was a little bored at the beginning. But with all those games we played, and then that song we sang, I forgot I was bored! (He chuckles.) That was so much fun, thanks guys, for helping me have a great trip. Tracy: (giggles) You're welcome, Snuffy. Jay Jay: Hey Snuff, take a look over there. Snuffy: Wowwee! Pangabula Island! Jay Jay: If you think we had fun flying, wait'll you see how much fun we'll have now that we're here! Come on, everybody! I'll race ya to Pangabula Island!
