| - Narrator: It was Picture Day at Tarrytown Airport— Narrator: —And Brenda Blue was ready with her camera to make this the best one ever.Oscar: Well, Brenda, it sure is a perfect day for takin' pictures. Brenda: You're right, Old Oscar. I just radioed Jay Jay, Tracy, Herky and Snuffy, and asked them to come home as fast as they can.Oscar: Oh, the youngsters don't know it's Picture Day. Oh, they'll be mighty excited when they find out. Brenda: They sure will. Narrator: Just then, Jay Jay, Tracy, Herky and Snuffy appeared over Tarrytown airport. Jay Jay: Hi, Brenda. Hi, Oscar. Herky: Why'd you r-r-radio us to hur-r-ry home? Brenda: It's Picture Day at E.Z. Airlines— (Widen to frame Oscar next to her.) Everyone is getting their picture taken today. Herky: Wow, Pictur-r-re Day! That's ter-r-rific! (He flies o.s.; cut to Jay Jay.) Jay Jay: Yippee!!! (Tracy and Snuffy fly in behind him.) Picture Day is the best. (He flies o.s.) Tracy: It sure is! Snuffy: Picture Day? Narrator: So Jay Jay, Tracy and Snuffy all landed and hurried toward Brenda Blue and Old Oscar. Jay Jay: Isn't this exciting, Snuffy? Snuffy: (dryly) Uh...yeah. Sure. I guess so. (to himself) If you like having your picture taken. Brenda: Are you ready to have your pictures taken? (Cut to Jay Jay and Tracy.) Tracy: You bet! Jay Jay: Good thing we got all polished up this morning. Tracy: (pauses) Gee, I wonder which is my best side. (Widen to frame Oscar.) Oscar: Aw, don't worry, Tracy. (Herky hovers over them.) Both your sides are just fine. Tracy: Thanks, Oscar. (Cut to Brenda.) Brenda: Okay, who wants to have their picture taken first? Tracy: Me, me, me! Jay Jay: me first! Herky: Me fir-r-rst! Brenda: Okay, let's start with Jay Jay. Jay Jay: Yippee!!! Jay Jay: Fantastic! (Brace for liftoff.) I'll give you some super poses! Narrator: Jay Jay excitedly flew all around Brenda Blue, making the silliest faces he could. Brenda: That's great, Jay Jay! Oscar: That youngster sure knows how to have fun on Picture Day. Jay Jay: How am I doin', Brenda? How's this? And this? Brenda: You're a real star, Jay Jay! I've shot—a whole roll of film already just on you. I'd better go get some more. Tracy: May I be next, please, Brenda? Oh, please, please? Herky: Then me! Then me! Brenda: Okay. Tracy, then Herky, then Snuffy. Narrator: Brenda went into the hangar to get more film, and Snuffy followed after her. Snuffy: Uh-um...Brenda? Brenda: Oh, hi, Snuffy. I was just getting some more film. Don't worry. I have plenty for you. Snuffy: (stammers) Uh, Brenda? Do I have to have my picture taken? Brenda: Gee, Snuffy. Don't you want to have your picture taken? Snuffy: No, c-cause I might look silly. Brenda: (chuckles silently) Nobody could look sillier than Jay Jay, with...him making all those silly faces...and Jay Jay really enjoyed having his picture taken. Snuffy: But Jay Jay's a jet plane—he's special. And Tracy's a jet plane, too. Jet planes are really, really special. And i'm not a jet plane—I just have a silly propeller. Brenda: I think you're very handsome, Snuffy. Snuffy: Gosh, I don't know. I can't really remember what I look like. I don't even know if I have a good side. Brenda: Here, Snuffy. Take a look in my mirror—see for yourself. Snuffy: Kinda hard to see. (Close-up of Brenda; he continues o.s.) The mirror's so small, and I'm so big. (Back to him.) I can only see part of my eye because my propeller is in the way. I guess I need a bigger mirror—much, much bigger. Brenda: What you need, Snuffy, is a giant mirror. Snuffy: (pauses, stammers) But where can I find a giant mirror? Brenda: Hmm...any shiny surface can be like a mirror when the light hits it. (gasps) Wait! Lighting Bug Lake in the sunlight would be a perfect mirror for you, Snuffy! Snuffy: Lightning Bug Lake? (propeller starts spinning) I'll go there right now and see if I can see myself! Thanks, Brenda! (He turns toward the exit.) Brenda: You're welcome, Snuffy! Narrator: It was nice and sunny when Snuffy arrived at Lightning Bug Lake. Snuffy: Wow! (Close-up of him.) The lake is like a giant mirror! I'll be able to see me! Snuffy: All of me! Snuffy: I can't wait, I gotta fly I'm turning flips, and here's the reason why I'm finally gonna see myself For myself Snuffy: When the sun hits the lake I'll be there, and what a splash I'll make (He does a barrel roll in turn.) I'm finally gonna see myself For myself Snuffy: It's not how I look, but what I feel inside That makes my life a much happier ride But just for the fun of it, simply for laughs (He flies over the lake again; his reflection becomes visible in its watery surface.) I'd like to see what it'll be in the photograph Snuffy: It's a first, it's a dream (He rises into the air again.) I only hope that I don't let out a scream 'Cause I'm finally gonna see myself (He flies over the lake again, reflection visible.) For myself For myself For myself Snuffy: Now I'd better land so I can see myself up close. Narrator: Snuffy inched towards the edge of the lake, almost afraid to look at himself. Snuffy: I'm afraid to look. (pauses) Gee, my propeller's over my eye— (Wide shot of him.) —that looks really silly. I'll try spinning my propeller. Snuffy: That's no better, I still look silly. (Overhead shot of him; he whimpers slightly.) I sure wish I didn't have a propeller. I wish I was a jet plane— (His propeller starts up.) —like Jay Jay and Tracy. Snuffy: Feeling a little sad— (Snuffy turns around...) —Snuffy headed back to Tarrytown airport— (...and takes off.) —to join his friends. Narrator: Back at Tarrytown Airport, Brenda Blue was busy taking pictures of Tracy for Picture Day. Tracy: I'm still not sure which is my best side. Oscar: Oh, both sides are pretty as a picture. (Brenda stops photographing.) Brenda: That was great, Tracy. I got lots of terrific shots of you. Tracy: Thanks a lot, Brenda. I can hardly wait to see all the pictures from Picture Day. Now it's Snuffy's turn. [Continuity error: Herky was supposed to go before Snuffy.] Jay Jay: Hey, where is Snuffy anyway? I haven't seen him for a while. Brenda: He went to Lightning Bug Lake to see his reflection in the water, so he could look his best for Picture Day. Tracy: Wow, what a great idea. The lake is like a giant mirror. Narrator: Just then, Snuffy returned and came in for a landing. Brenda: Did you see your reflection in Lightning Bug Lake, Snuffy? Snuffy: I sure did, but I really wish I could be like Jay Jay and Tracy. I wish I were a jet plane, too. My propeller looks silly. Jay Jay: I think your propeller's cool! Tracy: Me too, Snuffy! Jay Jay: I know—maybe you'd like it better if it were decorated. What if we painted it like a candy cane? That would look super cool. Snuffy: Uh...how's it look? Tracy: Kinda sweet! Jay Jay: Mmm...I don't really think it's you, Snuffy. I liked it better plain. And besides that, it's making me kind of hungry. Narrator: So, they returned Snuffy's propeller back to normal. but Snuffy still wasn't happy. Snuffy: I guess I just won't have my picture taken for Picture Day. (Oscar's propeller stops at a diagonal angle as well.) Oscar: Well, by golly, gosh, I've heard enough! Snuffy: What do you mean, Oscar? Oscar: Why, I mean all this stuff about a propeller being no fun. Uh, Snuffy, let me tell you that having a propeller makes you special. Snuffy: (pauses) It does? Oscar: Well, of course it does! Why, I love my propeller, and I couldn't imagine life without it. Snuffy: You couldn't? Oscar: Nope! Now listen, youngster. Doesn't your propeller help you fly high in the sky, a-and paint beautiful pictures? Snuffy: Um...yes. I guess you're right. I love drawing pictures. Oscar: Well, you see? You should be mighty proud that you're not like all those other planes—that's what makes you special. You're the only plane in the whole wide world that's just like you! Snuffy: Wow, you're right! I am the only plane in the world just like me! (pauses, suddenly glum) But my propeller still looks silly when it stops in front of my eyes. What am I supposed to do about that? Oscar: Why, that's no big deal, Snuffy, my boy. You just have to learn the trick to getting it just right. Snuffy: (with wonder) Can you show me how, Oscar? Can you? Oscar: Well, sure, I can, Snuffy. Now, you just watch me. Snuffy: Okay, I'm ready. Oscar: Okay, here goes. Now, it's like this... Oscar: One...two...three! Oscar: (from o.s.) See? (chuckles) Nothing to it! Oscar: Now you try it, Snuffy. Remember, give it the old one-two-three count. Snuffy: One...two...three! Jay Jay: (from o.s.) Hooray for Snuffy! Tracy: Great job, Snuffy! (Cut to Brenda, raising a fist.) Snuffy: (from o.s.) I did it! (Wide shot on the start of the next.) I really did it! Thanks, Oscar! Oscar: (chuckles) Think nothin' of it, Snuffy. Jay Jay: Wow, Snuffy, your propeller looks so cool—I wish I had one. (Cut to Brenda.) Brenda: Now that you look so terrific, Snuffy— (She holds up her camera.) —are you ready to have your picture taken for Picture Day? (Back to Jay Jay/Snuffy on the end of this.) Snuffy: I sure am! But be sure to get a good shot of my propeller! Narrator: So that's how Snuffy realized that his propeller helped make him one of a kind. (Close-up of him.) Snuffy learned that sometimes the things that make us different, also make us special. Narrator: And even make us picture-perfect.
