| - Narrator: Jay Jay the Jet Plane was eager to deliver the mail to Tarrytown Airport one bright summer day... Narrator: Because he knew he was carrying something special. Brenda: Thanks for getting the mail for me, Jay Jay. Jay Jay: Brenda, look who this is for. Brenda: It's for Tracy. Tracy: For me? Jay Jay: (from o.s.) Uh-huh. (cut to him.) It's from Savannah, she sent it from very far away. Tracy: Oh, Brenda! Brenda: Wow! This is absolutely beautiful. (gasps) A basket full of candy. Tracy: Oh, how wonderful! Savannah knows that's my favorite treat! Brenda: Oh! (She picks up a note from the basket.) There's a note from her. Let's see, it says, "Tracy dear, here is your favorite treat, candy." Tracy: See? Brenda: "I know you'll share it with everybody back home..." (Cut to Jay Jay, she continues o.s.) "But I hope you won't eat it all at once." (Back to her on the end of this.) "Remember, too much of a good thing can be bad for you. I'll be home soon. Love, Savannah." Tracy: Who could ever get too much tasty candy? Ooh, I'm going to give everybody a piece—We'll have a candy celebration! (She zips out of the hangar.) Yippee!! Brenda: (calling after) Oh, don't forget your basket! Jay Jay: Boy, she sure does love that candy! Brenda: Yeah, maybe a little too much. Jay Jay: Yummy, mmm-mmm! Snuffy: This candy sure tastes good, thanks, Tracy! Tracy: Don't mention it, Snuffy. Snuffy: Tracy, can you really get too much of a good thing? Tracy: Well, I'm not sure. Jay Jay: (a bit teasingly) And can you really make yourself not eat too much of that tasty candy? Tracy: Well, it's not going to be easy, but I'm really gonna try to eat it slowly. If I do, that candy ought to last for the rest of the year. Come on, let's go make our deliveries. Narrator: So Tracy took off with Jay Jay and Snuffy— (Cut to outside; they pass the screen one by one.) —to do her regular daily chores. Narrator: Up in the air, Tracy tried hard to concentrate on the deliveries she had to make, but try as she might— (Close-up of her.) —she just couldn't stop daydreaming about that candy. Tracy: (groans) I just can't get that tasty candy out of my mind! Tracy: I've been told too much of a good thing isn't good (Pull back; the hangar is flooded to the roof with candy, and the trio stand on them.) Jay Jay, Snuffy: Candy crazy, you're candy crazy (Extreme close-up of Tracy, she backs up showing she is now downtown. The whole city has become candy-coated: the buildings are made of chocolate/licorice/frosting, the road is made of gumballs, giant lollipops stick out near the library, and the trees are replaced with giant cotton candies.) Tracy: But take a look around my sugar-coated neighborhood (Jay Jay and Snuffy taxi into the scene.) Jay Jay, Snuffy: Candy crazy, you're candy crazy Tracy: The streets are lined with lollipops [Jay Jay: Yum, yum, yum!] (Confetti wipe to the sky; it is now tinged in a purplish-pink color, and the clouds have turned pale pink. Various lemon drops rain down; the trio fly through.) The sky is raining lemon drops [Snuffy: Mmm, lemon drops!] (Confetti wipe to the candy-coated fire station; the trio flies overhead.) A house is made of chocolate bars (Iris in to Revvin' Evan—coated entirely in white marshmallow—driving down a road with various lollopops and candy canes in place of the trees nearby. The trio flies over him.) Snuffy: And don't forget the marshmallow cars Tracy: They drive me All: Candy crazy Tracy: I can't get enough, you know I'm (They flip right side up again.) All: Candy crazy Tracy: I flip for the stuff, I'm goin' (They flip back upside down; rear view angle of Tracy.) All: Candy crazy Tracy: It's all I can see, you know I'm (Long shot; they flip right side up as they come forward.) All: Candy crazy Tracy: (spoken) That's me All: Candy crazy Tracy: I can't get enough, you know I'm All: Candy crazy Tracy: I flip for the stuff, I'm goin' All: Candy crazy Tracy: It's all I can see, you know I'm (Long shot of the trio; they swoop swiftly toward the camera.) All: Candy crazy Tracy: That's me Jay Jay, Snuffy: Candy crazy, you're candy crazy Candy crazy, you're candy crazy Tracy: I've been told too much of a good thing isn't good Jay Jay, Snuffy: Candy crazy, you're candy crazy (Head-on view of them.) Tracy: But take a look around my sugar-coated neighborhood (She gradually proceeds forward until her face fills the screen in extreme close-up.) Jay Jay, Snuffy: Candy crazy, you're candy crazy Narrator: Finally, after Tracy had finished her deliveries, she quickly returned home. (She swoops o.s.; overview of Tarrytown as she flies toward it.) She just couldn't wait to get her hands on more candy. Herky: Hi, Tr-r-racy! What's— (Tracy zooms past, sending him flying.) Whoa-ahhhh!!! Tracy: Ah! There you are! My candy! Narrator: Later that evening, when Jay Jay and Snuffy were about to turn in for the night... Herky: Well, hey, guys. I haven't seen Tr-r-racy since this after-r-rnoon. Wher-r-re is she? Jay Jay: I don't know, Herky. (slightly mockingly) Maybe she's inside eating more candy. Herky: Oh. Tracy: (from inside, anguished) OH, NO!!! Tracy: This is terrible! Terrible!!! Jay Jay: What's wrong? (Cut to Tracy.) Tracy: I was going to eat just a few pieces of candy... Jay Jay: (from o.s.) Yeah? Tracy: But I got so carried away, that before I knew it— (Widen to frame the others.) —I finished the whole basket! Herky: You mean, you ate all of it? Tracy: Uh-huh. And now, all my tasty candy is gone! (The others groan; close-up of her.) I wish I had stopped myself before it was too late! Jay Jay: (from o.s.) Hey, look! (Wide shot, framing the quartet.) It's a shooting star! Snuffy: Wow! Snuffy: (from o.s.) Old Oscar says, if you make a wish when you see a shooting star, then your wish will come true! (Back to the quartet.) Jay Jay: Heyhey, hey, I have a great idea, Tracy. Why don't you wish for more candy? Tracy: Say, that is a great idea! In fact, I'm going to wish I can have all the candy I could ever eat. That oughta be enough. Narrator: So, Tracy did just that. (Tracy closes her eyes.) She closed her eyes and wished for all the candy she could ever eat. Narrator: And soon after that, everybody went to sleep for the night. But even as Tracy slept, she dreamed of, what else? Tasty candy. Tracy: What a night. All I did was dream about candy. Narrator: I sure wish I had some left...like a whole barrel full of candy. Tracy: Huh? (gasps) My...my wing just touched that barrel, and it turned into...candy! But why? (gasps) Wait a minute. Maybe it was that wish I made last night, maybe it's come true! Tracy: Now let's see if I'm right... Tracy: My wish did come true—I can turn anything into candy just by touching it! (She taxis around excitedly.) Yippeeeee!!! Woo-hoo!!! (chuckles) Now I can eat as much candy as I want, and I'll never run out! (sighs) What a great day this is going to be, I just can't wait to get started! Tracy: I can't believe I ate the whole thing! (another groan.) Savannah was right—Too much of a good thing is very bad for you. Aww...even worse, my wings are all sticky with candy. I'd better clean them off. Tracy: Oh, no! I can't even bear to look at candy now, just the sight of it makes me sick. Tracy: Why did I ever want to have all the candy I could eat? (another groan.) My tummy feels awful, now what'll I do? I know, I'll ask Brenda Blue for help. Tracy: Oh, no, I just realized something! If I knock on Brenda's door, it'll turn to candy too! (another gasp.) And if I touch Brenda, she'll turn to candy! That would be awful! (a third gasp.) Maybe I should just go ask Jay Jay to help me. Tracy: Uh-oh! (She stops.) What if I touch Jay Jay?! Oh, gee...I know, I'll just make sure I don't get close enough to anyone. Tracy: Jay Jay? Snuffy? (pause) They're gone. (She exits the hangar during the following.) They must have gotten up and left while I was in the park. (She hears the sound of planes zooming from above.) There they are. Jay Jay! Oh, Jay Jay?! Tracy: (from below) You have to land right away! It's an emergency! Jay Jay: Which runway? Jay Jay: This one! (gasps, realizing) Oh no. I touched the runway! Jay Jay: Hey-ey-ey-ey! Hey, what's happening?! I-I'm stuck on sticky candy!!! (Snuffy discends and gets stuck as well.) Snuffy: Whoa, whoa! I can't move!! Tracy: Uh-oh, here comes Big Jake, Savannah and Old Oscar! (One by one, they discend from the air.) Go back! Don't land on the— (Too late.) —Good grief! Herky: Hey, ever-r-rybody, what's the matter? (giggles) Tracy: No Herky! Don't!! Herky: I-I'm stuck on the r-r-runway! Tracy: I'm stuck, too! Oh, this is all my fault! (Close-up.) If I had only taken Savannah's advice! HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME! Tracy: HELP! HELP ME! HELP ME! Tracy: I was asleep, and it was all a dream! (giddly) Yay! Tracy: AH-HA!! (pauses) Okay, barrel. Let's see if it really was a dream. Tracy: Nothing! I'm okay! (She goes back to the kids' hangar, giggling; Snuffy, Jay Jay and Herky join her.) Jay Jay: There you are! Savannah is just coming back from her trip, c-come on! Herky: (looking aside) There she is! Savannah: Well, hi, there, little ones. Did you miss me? Tracy: We sure did. Snuffy: We always do. Savannah: Well, you'll never guess what I brought back for ya'll. Tracy: What, Savannah? Savannah: More of that tasty candy you love so much! (All but Tracy cheer.) Now, Tracy darling... (Close-up of Tracy; she continues o.s.) Y-you don't seem to be too excited about my present? Tracy:Uh...I'm excited, all right. I still love candy, but I'm learning something from you that I'll always remember. Savannah: Oh, and what's that? Tracy: You really can get too much of a good thing, which can be very bad for you. Savannah: You know, it sounds to me like...like maybe you ate too much candy! (chuckles) Tracy: I sure did, and I'll never do it again. Herky: But I still want some candy! Snuffy: Uh, me...me too! Jay Jay: Me three! Tracy: Well, then, let's go around and give everybody some. And Tracy— (Cut to Tracy; she continues o.s.) You can make sure that we don't give too much to anybody. Tracy: That's a deal! Savannah: (chuckles) Okay then! Tracy: Now I know that too much of a good thing isn't good All: Candy crazy, no more candy crazy Tracy: I was out of touch and went a little farther than I should All: Candy crazy, no more candy crazy Tracy: You can keep the lollipops, jelly beans and lemon drops I'm just happy bein' awake [Jay Jay: Well, you know...] (Jay Jay floats down next to her during the previous.) Jay Jay: It's good to give your sweet tooth a break Tracy: Yeah! All: We're candy crazy Tracy: The tables are turned Other planes: But you were (They flip right side up again.) All: Candy crazy Tracy: My lesson was learned (They flip upside down.) Now no more All: Candy crazy Tracy: I'm closin' the door I'm not candy crazy anymore Narrator: So that's how Tracy learned you can have too much of a good thing— (Rear view; the kids fly out of sight.) —which just had to be the sweetest lesson she had ever learned.
