| - Narrator: It was a beautiful day in Tarrytown. It was a great day for Tracy to practice being the high flyer she always wanted to be. And that's just what she was doing— (Cut to Tracy in flight; Savannah joins her.) —with Savannah as her teacher. Savannah: Okay, darlin', it's always important to keep tryin'! So, let's do it again! (Cut to their spectator watching below.) Jay Jay: You can do it, Tracy! (Back to the flight practice.) Tracy: Here I go! Tracy: Oops! Whoooooaaaaa! Tracy: Whooooaaaa! (She stops next to her teacher.) Oops. Savannah: That was great, sugar. But let's try again and see if you can un-wibble your wobbles. Savannah: Come on, Tracy, fly with me. Tracy: Thanks! Savannah: It's a wibbly wobbly ride Tracy: When you're flying a mile high Savannah: But climb into the wind, and you can begin to fly (She flies over to Tracy's opposite side.) In the wink of an eye Tracy, Savannah: Flyin' up, we're flyin' up Flyin' up across the sky Flyin' up, we're flyin' up Climbin' up a mile high Tracy: It's a wibbly, wobbly ride [It sure is!] Savannah: And it's time to try and try Tracy: And I know that it's true that having you by my side [Oh, Tracy!] I'll be flying high (They ferris around each other.) Savannah: In a while, you'll be Tracy, Savannah: Flyin' up, yeah, flyin' up Flyin' up and filled with pride Flyin' up, and climbin' up With a smile that's a mile wide Narrator: Once again, Savannah flew up, up, up. Tracy: (from o.s.) Here I go! Tracy: Up...up...up... (Grunting, she struggles in place.) And down. Tracy: Sorry, Savannah. I just can't fly any higher, yet. Savannah: Oh, sugar, you did very well. A few more lessons, and you'll be high flyin' on your own, and then, you'll get to fly over Tippy Toppy Peak all by yourself! Tracy: By myself? Is Tippy Toppy Peak dangerous? Savannah: A little, but it's a great place to learn even more about flyin' high! Tracy: Can I fly over it now? Savannah: Not quite yet. We still have a bit more to learn before you're ready for Tippy Toppy Peak. Well, I have to go now, sugar, but we can have another lesson tomorrow! Tracy: Sky-riffic, Savannah! Thanks! Savannah: Ta-ta, Tracy honey! Jay Jay: Hey, Tracy, you're doing great! Tracy: Thanks, Jay Jay, but I can't wait to be a real high flyer! Jay Jay: You know what Savannah told ya? Jay Jay, Tracy: It's always important to keep trying. Tracy: (chuckles) You're right! I'm gonna try and try until... (shouting) I'm the best high flyer in the whole, wide world!!! Herky: Wow, did ya hear-r-r that? Tr-r-racy just said she's the best high flyer-r-r in the whole, wide wor-r-rld! Tracy: No! I-I said I was going to try to— Herky: I knew she could do it! (giggles) Snuffy: I bet Tracy went so high that she was as high as a cloud. Herky: I'll bet she was even higher-r-r than that! (giggles) Jay Jay: W-w-what? Tracy: Really, guys! I-I-I didn't say that, I— Herky: Wait'll we tell Br-r-renda how Tr-r-racy passed her-r-r high flying test! (He rises out of frame.) Tracy: Herky, I didn't— Snuffy: Aw, Tracy, don't be shy. We're all excited that you're a real high flyer, now. (He exits.) Jay Jay: Tracy, what are they talking about? Tracy: Oh, Jay Jay, I said I was going to try to be the best high flyer in the whole, wide world, and they think I said I am the best high flyer in the whole, wide world. Jay Jay: Oops! We'd better go explain! Herky: Br-r-renda's gone into town to get a new wr-r-rench— (Jay Jay and Tracy join.) —but you'll never-r-r guess what. Jay Jay, Tracy: What? Herky: Big Jake just r-r-radioed in, that he's gonna be late getting back to the air-r-rpor-r-rt. Snuffy: Yeah, so he's also gonna be late for his next pickup. Herky: Now, get this— (Cut to the jet planes; he continues o.s.) He was supposed to pick up a package in Willow Tr-r-ree Village. (Back to him.) That means he was gonna fly over-r-r... Herky, Snuffy: Tippy Toppy Peak! Snuffy: So Tracy, Herky and I were thinking, what if you made that pickup for him? You'd be doing Big Jake a big favor. Tracy: M-m-me? But, uh...but, I— Jay Jay: I think what Tracy's trying to say is— Herky: Flying over-r-r Tippy Toppy Peak might be danger-r-rous for-r-r other-r-r planes, but now it will be easy for-r-r you, Tr-r-racy! Snuffy: That's right! So, what do you think of that? (Cut to Tracy; he continues o.s.) Are you excited? Tracy: (shaking her head) Uh, but...I wa...you see— Herky: We see we knew you'd be! Well, don't just stand ther-r-re! (Cut to the jet planes.) Ya don't wanna let Big Jake down, do ya? Tracy: (dumbfounded) W-well...no, I guess not. Herky: Then, let's go go go! (All but Jay Jay start to leave.) Jay Jay: Guys, wait! WAIT!! (Too late.) Oh, now what'll I do? Narrator: Jay Jay wanted to tell Herky and Snuffy that Tracy wasn't a high flyer yet, but they kept interrupting. Now it looked like Tracy really was going to fly over Tippy Toppy Peak. Jay Jay: I've gotta go into Tarrytown and find Brenda. Maybe she can straighten this out. Herky, Snuffy: Bye-bye, Tracy! (Tracy silently shakes her head.) Narrator: Once again, nobody would listen. (She starts forward.) Snuffy: Happy high flying, Tracy! Tracy: What am I doing? Savannah said Tippy Toppy Peak is a little dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. (pauses) But...but maybe I know enough after all. I mean, I'm almost a high flyer. I hope... Tracy: Oh boy, there it is. (Her perspective of Tippy Toppy Peak in the distance; zoom in slowly as she gulps.) Well...here goes nothing. Narrator: It turned out that flying high over Tippy Toppy Peak was pretty hard. (Tracy begins to struggle.) Tracy: (between pants) Wow...the wind is getting stronger...I-I can't fly straight! Narrator: Tracy knew she made a big mistake, but now, it was too late to turn back. Narrator: Back at Tarrytown Airport, Jay Jay had found Brenda Blue and had explained everything to her. (Big Jake joins.) Jay Jay: Big Jake! Are we glad to see you. Big Jake: Well, hi, Jay Jay. Hello, Brenda. Brenda: Hi. Big Jake: What's up? Brenda: Big Jake, we have a big problem. Jay Jay says Tracy's gone to make your next pickup—she's flying over Tippy Toppy Peak. Big Jake: What? Did Tracy pass her high flying test? Jay Jay: (from o.s.) No. (Back to him.) She practiced, but she couldn't un-wibble her wobble. Big Jake: Oh no! It could be dangerous to fly over Tippy Toppy Peak if you don't know how. Brenda: Big Jake, you've got to do something. (His propellers spin.) We're really worried about her safety. Big Jake: I'd better go and help her right away. Tracy: (between grunts) This...this is...so hard!!! Big Jake: Hang in there! I'll help you, little Tracy! Tracy: (gasps) Big Jake! (grunt) I'm so glad to see you! Big Jake: Well, this isn't dangerous at all if you know what you're doing. Follow me and I'll show you how. Here we go...!!! Narrator: Back at the airport, Jay Jay rounded up Snuffy and Herky and told them that Tracy really hadn't been ready to make the flight. Jay Jay: ...So you see guys, Tracy didn't really pass her high flying test yet. Snuffy: But why didn't you say so? I thought she flew really high. Herky: Yeah, me too. Jay Jay: She did fly high, but she still needs to practice. That's what Tracy tried to tell ya, only...you guys were so excited, you didn't give her a chance to talk. Herky, Snuffy: Oops. Snuffy: Sorry. Jay Jay: But I goofed up too—I should've been a better friend and said something for her. Big Jake: Do what I do, Tracy. Nose up slowly. Tracy: Nose up... (She gets yanked backward.) Whoa!!! Big Jake: That's okay! (She manages to rejoin him.) Now, dip your wing and raise your tail. You're doin' fine, just keep doin' what I do. Now I'm going to do a slow climb. Tracy: Okay! Me too! Big Jake: You can do it, Tracy! Remember what Savannah always says. Tracy: It's always important to keep trying...it's always important to keep trying... Tracy: It's always important...I'm doing it...I'm...I-I'm doing it! Tracy: YIPPEE!!! Big Jake: Hooray! Ya did it! Tracy: Yeah, with your help, Big Jake! Boy, I'm never gonna try anything hard like that again without being ready. Big Jake: (chuckles) That's a smart idea, Tracy. (Rear view of them.) Narrator: So, Tracy was finally able to make her delivery. Narrator: Then, she and Big Jake took and easier low flying route back home. And when Tracy finally landed... Jay Jay: Yay! Snuffy: They're here! (And here they come.) Herky: Tr-r-racy's back! Snuffy: Tracy, I sure am glad you're back. And I'm sorry I didn't let you talk before. Herky: I'm sor-r-ry, too. We wer-r-re worried about ya, Tr-r-racy. Tracy: That's okay, guys. Next time, when I have something important to say, I'm just gonna make sure to speak up. Jay Jay: And I'll speak up for ya, if you can't do it yourself. Tracy: (giggles) Thanks, Jay Jay. Jay Jay: C'mon, let's go tell Brenda you made it back okay. Tracy: Yeah. And this time, no interruptions. Narrator: So that's how Tracy and Jay Jay learned that it's always better to speak up when something's the matter. And from that day on, whenever Savannah gave Tracy a high flying lesson... Jay Jay: Go, Tracy! Snuffy: Wow, yeah! Herky: Go, Tr-r-racy! Narrator: Jay Jay, Snuffy and Herky were there to cheer her on as loudly as they could.
