| - Narrator: It was a big day at Tarrytown airport. Narrator: Snuffy, Jay Jay, Tracy, and Herky were awaiting the arrival of Savannah. Tracy: Do you see her, Herky? Herky: Not yet! (Up he goes.) Narrator: Everyone was really excited— (Dissolve to Herky in the air.) —because Savannah was bringing two very special secret visitors. Herky: Oh, her-r-re she comes! Get r-r-ready for-r-r the big boom she makes when she flies r-r-really fast! Savannah: Hello, little darlings. Jay Jay: Didja bring them, Savannah? Did you? Savannah: Well, I surely did. Brenda: (from o.s.) Everyone— (Cut to her.) —I'd like you to meet our secret visitors. The first is Pierre O'Malley. Pierre: Bonjour, mes amis. Hello, to you all. Brenda: Pierre is E.Z.'s cousin. He lives far away in a place called France, and now I'd like you to meet E.Z.'s other cousin, Tex O'Malley. He comes from a place called Texas. Tex: Well, howdy y'all! (chuckles, tips hat) Brenda: Cousin Pierre, cousin Tex, I'd like you to meet all my friends: Jay Jay and Tracy... Jay Jay: Hi! Tracy: Hello. (Herky joins.) Herky: And I'm Her-r-rky! Brenda: (giggles) And...where's Snuffy? Jay Jay: (from o.s.) I think I see him over there. Brenda: (looks aside) Snuffy? (Her perspective of him hiding; she continues o.s.) Come meet E.Z.'s cousins, Pierre and Tex O'Malley. Snuffy:Um...I... (stammers) Uh... Savannah: I'll be, Snuffy's too shy to say hello. Narrator: Snuffy was a little shy. That means that he was a little afraid when it came to meeting new people. Pierre: So, E.Z. has no idea we are planning the family reunion in his honor? Jay Jay: Nope. We've kept this a big secret, so that he'll really be surprised! Brenda: That's right. Pierre: (pauses) Bon. Good. As you can see... (produces a stick of bread from the basket) I brought some French food for us, for everyone to enjoy. Herky; That's the longest, skinniest loaf of br-r-read I've ever seen! Brenda: It sure is, and it looks delicious. Tex: Talking about delicious— (gesturing to his pot) —this here Texas chili is guaranteed to make cousin E.Z.'s taste buds go... (opens pot) "YAHOO!!!" (The others laugh.) Tracy: Savannah, when is the last one of E.Z.'s cousins gonna get here? Savannah: I'm on my way to pick him up right now, sugar. Jay Jay: Wow, this is supersonic! Savannah: Well, darlings, it's time for me to be jetting on my way. (She zooms off.) Brenda: Goodbye, Savannah! Tex: So long, Savannah! Brenda: Okay, everybody... (Hands on head) Here it comes! Tex: Bucking Broncos, that flying filly's got a mighty big boom! Narrator: No sooner had Savannah left to pick up E.Z's last cousin, when suddenly... Jay Jay: (on radio) Calling Savannah. This is Jay Jay and Snuffy. We're behind you, please slow down. We need to talk to you right away. Savannah: Oh, dear! Savannah: Jay Jay, Snuffy, oh darlings, what's wrong? Snuffy: We came to warn you that E.Z.'s looking for you. Jay Jay: Yeah, he says he has a job for you to do—you have to get back right away. Savannah: (scoffs) Now, that's plum terrible! I still have that one cousin left to pick up before the party! Snuffy: Gee, I-I guess someone else will have to do it for you. Jay Jay: Who? Everyone else is busy. If we don't do our work, then E.Z. will wonder what we're up to. Savannah: And we don't want to spoil that nice surprise party. But, who's free to go? Jay Jay: Uh...Snuffy! Snuffy: Oh no. Jay Jay, I couldn't. Jay Jay: But Snuffy, you're the only one who's not busy right now. Snuffy: Look, I-I-I really want to help you out, but...I-I get shy around new people. (sniffs) A-and I'm afraid they won't like me. Savannah: Oh, trust me, Snuffy. You are indeed a most likable little plane, and I'm sure E.Z.'s cousin will like you, even though he is a little grumpy. Snuffy: Grumpy? Savannah: In fact, his name is Grumpy—Grumpy O'Malley. Snuffy: Grumpy O'Malley? Jay Jay: Don't worry, Snuffy. He's probably not really that grumpy. Snuffy: How can you say that? If he wasn't that grumpy, his name would be "Not-Really- That-Grumpy O'Malley". Savannah: Oh, sugar, I'm sure you'll do just fine. You'll find him on the big farm near Dewdrop Field. See y'all later for E.Z.'s big surprise! (She flies o.s.) Jay Jay: Hang on, Snuffy! Here it comes! Jay Jay: So long, Snuffy, I've gotta go pick up the mail. See ya later at the party! (He dives out of frame.) Good luck with Grumpy! Snuffy: Hey, Jay Jay! Wait, wait! (Cut to his perspective of Jay Jay flying away.) Jay Jay: REMEMBER! JUST BE YOURSELF!! (Dissolve back to Snuffy.) Snuffy: Oh, no...oh, now what am I going to do? Snuffy: Be myself, be myself, be myself... Snuffy: What will I say, what will I do? What if my nose explodes with a "kachoo"? And when I land there on the ground What if he doesn't like my funny engine sound? Snuffy: If I say "Hi, they call me Snuff" Will he say "Go away, I haven't time enough"? What if I stutter when I try to talk? Will he sputter? I think I'd rather walk Snuffy: So many friends say I'm a special guy They like the way I draw things in the sky They say it's fun to have me as a friend And when we play, they say "Won't you come again?" Snuffy: What will I say, what will I do? I'll say, "I'm Snuffy, and I'm glad to meet you" And if he frowns, I'll sit and smile And I bet he'll do the same in a while Snuffy: That's what I'll do, yeah That's what I'll do, yeah I'll just smile, uh-huh That's what I'll do Narrator: So, Snuffy gathered his courage and flew on to pick up E.Z.'s cousin, the O'Malley that had earned the nickname "Grumpy". 7:28SNUFFY: Mm. he doesn't look too grumpy from here. Maybe Savannah got his name wrong. Maybe it's Lumpy O'Malley, or Bumpy O'Malley, or maybe even Frumpy O'Malley. Yeah, that's it. I just have to say, "Hi, I'm Snuffy," or maybe, "Hello there. My name is Snuffy." Yeah that's it. That's what I'll do. 7:57Hi. I'm...uh... 8:00Is..um... Grumpy: Who are you? And what do you want? 8:07My--name--name... 8:10Uh...I...uh... Grumpy: Youngster, if you're not going to give me an answer, at least do me the courtesy of moving out of my way. Could you move out of my way, please? 8:30Hmph! That's better. 8:32I could never have finished my painting 8:34with that tongue-tied little plane 8:36standing in my view. 8:41Oh, I blew it. I messed it up. But I can't let everybody down, I can't! I have to go back. I'm just glad his name isn't "Punchy O'Malley". 8:57Gee, it looks like Grumpy is doing something. 9:01[GASP] 9:02He is! He's painting a picture. 9:06He likes to make pictures, just like me! 9:10That gives me an idea! 9:23By gum, look at that. 9:27I think that little whipper-snapper's 9:29drawing a picture, 9:30and he's darned good at it too. 9:35Hey, sonny, keep on going. I love pictures. 9:44Hey, that looks like my cousin, E.Z. 9:49Hey, I get it. 9:52He's come to take me to see E.Z. 9:57Well, you sure are one smart little prop, 10:00but I've got a question for you. 10:02Why didn't you just tell me you were here 10:03to take me to see E.Z.? 10:05I was too shy to talk. 10:07Maybe you wouldn't understand. 10:09Oh, no? 10:11You listen, young feller. 10:14My name is Snuffy. 10:15Well then, you listen, young Snuffy. 10:18I'm going to tell you a little secret. 10:22I'm shy too. 10:25That's why I pretend to be so grumpy. 10:27You're not really grumpy? 10:29Heck, no. 10:31I'm nice. 10:33But, uh, you let tht be our little secre, 10:36okay, Snuffy? 10:37You got it, Grumpy. 10:39Well, come on, 10:41we've got some fast flying to do, 10:43because we don't want to be late. 10:45Let's go. 10:46 So a very happy Snuffy hurried back 10:49 to Tarrytown Airport 10:51 for E.Z.'s surprise family reunion. 10:57Wait till you taste that chili and that bread. 10:58Surprise! 11:00Surprise! 11:01Goodness, well this is wonderful! 11:04A family reunion with all of my cousins. 11:07Well, thank you all for making this possible. 11:11You're welcome. 11:13Oops. Sorry. 11:20Cousin E.Z., it is time to come inside 11:22and eat all these tasty treats. 11:24Mighty fine idea, Cousin Pierre. 11:28Can't hardly wait to pour some of my red hot chili. 11:34Well, don't look at me. I didn't make anything. 11:38Sure you did, Grumpy. You made the best thing of all. 11:42I did? 11:43Yup. You made a new friend. 11:47By golly, you're right. 11:49Snuffy, this is the beginning 11:51of a picture-perfect friendship. 11:56 So that's how everybody met E.Z.'s cousins, 12:00 and how Snuffy got over being shy, 12:03 so that he could make a new friend 12:05 out of Grumpy O'Malley.
