(Soft music plays) Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. (Yawning) It's a beautiful day. Breakfast time. Nothing like peanut butter for breakfast. (Grunts) Hmm, I'm running out of peanut butter. Oh that's good! Delicious! (Soft jazz music plays) God, what do we have here? Hmm. What is it? I don't think I've ever seen one of these. (Growling) (Gasp) There's another one! He fell out of that tree!

I know what it is, that is a coconut tree and this is a coconut. Wow! (Growling) I have to get this out from under the tree before they hit me. (Growling) Oh! (Grunts) Just a little... a little more. There. (Sighing) I have to rest for a minute. Hi Rudy, you look a little exhausted. Oh, is that a coconut? When we eat? Hello Nettly, I will be happy to share it with you if you help me open it. My carrots need water, I really must run. I'll have a slice again as soon as I'm done. Oh, I don't believe this!

He didn't even make a dent! Oh! Oh, oh, my boot, my boot! (Sighing) If I push this thing over the edge, it will roll down, hit the tree, and maybe break. (Growling) That's it, now please hit the tree, come on! Yes, it hit the tree! I hope it broke. Wow! Wow! Not even a small crack! Wow! Wow! Hey, come back here! (Gasping) Whoa, whoa! (Gasp) Pull, pull! Pull, pull! Hello! Hello! Jelly beans! Aid! Aid! Hello Rudy! Nice day! (Sniffles) (Soft music) (Grunts) (Grunts) (Laughter) Help! Aid! Maggie, Beast, over here! Aid! Did you hear something? RUDI: Hello!

Is that Rudy? Is! Rudy, what's up? Stay there Rudy, I'll catch you! (upbeat music plays) Dear Rudy, are you okay? I'm fine. Hamilton, can you take care of my coconut? (Sighing) Oh, I'm exhausted. I tried all day to break that coconut. He rolled down the mountain, hit a tree and fell into the river. It was just horrible! (Sniffing) Don't worry, Rudy, it's okay. I'm going to get my cookbook. Hamilton is rushing things a bit. First, we have to open it. That's what I've been trying to do all day. Have you ever tried Rudy's Fresh Coconut? No.

It's delicious! Now let's see, coconut cake, coconut cream cake! Ah ha! Fried pumpkin with coconut! Fried pumpkin with coconut? I've never heard of that. Sounds delicious. Let's open this coconut. We must save the coconut milk when we break it. True Maggie! I'm going to get some cups. I wonder how we can open this. I could just step on it. That would shatter him. And pour the coconut milk. I brought my thimble for Rudy, he tries coconut milk for the first time. Hamilton, we're trying to decide how to open this coconut. Hmm, I must examine it carefully to find a weak point.

Then, with a careful tap, hello! (Playing) What is that sound? (Knocking) He's making a hole in Rudy's coconut! Quick Hamilton! Fill the cups! Rudy tries it for the first time. Where is the? (Soft music plays) Poor Rudy, he must be exhausted. (Everyone laughs) HAMILTON: That's a tired boogeyman. (Soft, happy music plays) Friendship Day. I think we're almost done. Doesn't the box look beautiful? Yes, and now my

friendship

day cards are ready to be mailed. Where is Beast? He's on the other side of the hill finishing his letters. He said not to look. You better hurry, everyone will be here soon.

Our mailbox will be overflowing. Wow, I hope I get some cards. Hamilton, on Friendship Day you send a card to tell a person how much you like them. I'm sure you will receive many cards. You really think that? Possibly! Oh, I can't wait. Let's prepare the table. (Happy music plays) Ah! (Soft music plays) (Grunts) (Humming) Wow, those are your best dishes, Hamilton! Well, this is a special day. But what are you going to use for the Jellybeans dishes? Oh, look, I thought about that. Oh Hamilton, what a great idea! What's up Maggie? Hamilton made small plates of acorn shells for the Jellybean team.

I wish everyone would get here soon. Did you put your Friendship Day cards in Beast's mailbox? Yes. Who will be the postman? I thought I would serve my cake first and then open the mailbox and hand out the cards. Did you send your cards to Hamilton? Oh my god, I forgot! I'll mail them now. Hello everyone. Am I too early? Of course not. Maggie, could you walk me to the mailbox so he can drop off my cards? Here you have. That's a beautiful mailbox. Now we just have to wait for the others to arrive. I hope no one forgets their cards. (Soft music plays) (Applause) I can't wait to see the Hamilton cake!

I can't wait to eat Hamilton's cake. I really think it's good to send a card to each and every friend, so here's what we should all do: you send me one and I'll send you another. (Laughing) You're funny, Nettly. Attention everyone. (Everyone cooing and wowing) Please grab a plate and line up for a piece of cake. (Everyone applauding) Oh wow, thank you, thank you. (Happy music plays) (Birds singing) Maggie, we have company. Oh, they are so cute! I bet they would like some cake. What should we do? After all, it is Friendship Day. We can share our cake with them.

Listen everyone, don't drop the crumbs, I'll be back in a minute. I wonder what Hamilton is going to do. We will know very soon. Hamilton is gone, but he remembers my words, when he returns he will feed the birds. Well. I'm going to collect the crumbs from your plates and place them in these baskets. (Soft music plays) Thank you. Hamilton, what are you going to do with the baskets? We will hang them from this tree. My, my, my, don't they look pretty decorating the tree? Let the birds eat the cake crumbs, come on everyone, let's open the mailbox.

Attention everyone, I will now open our lovely Friendship Day mailbox and hand out the cards. Well, here we go. The first letter is for... the Beast! Maggie, could you give her this? Here's one for Rudy! Thank you. Margarine. Here's one for me. Maggie. Red gum. Clearly. (Sighing) The ferocious beast. And here's another one for the ferocious Beast. (laughs) Oh, another card for me? (Laughing nervously) Thank you. Yes, thanks. And Hamilton the cake was delicious! And I guess we all know who is the most popular in Nowhere Land. Thank you all, I had a great time. I think it's time for me to run, goodbye to one and all.

We should do this again next year. Make sure you have your cards. Well, I think it was a very successful party. I agree. Did you get these little Jellybeans cards? (Laughter) I have a card so small I couldn't read it. I guess it's from team Jellybean. And you Beast? That? Did you get a little card from Jellybeans? I guess so. HAMILTON: Beast has so many cards he probably hasn't even looked at them. Beast, where are all your

friendship

day cards? They are here. Where? I'm sitting on them! So they don't fly away. (Maggie laughing) Beast, how did you get so many Friendship Day cards?

I think you have more cards than us friends. I'm sorry! BOTH: For what? I did something wrong. What are you talking about? I sent some cards to myself. (Crying) Why did you do that? Because I didn't think everyone would send me a card. But everyone sent you one. I know. Dear Beast, cheer up! I wouldn't say it's a bad thing what you did. You would not do that? No. Yes, Maggie is right. But you should know that you have many friends here in Nowhere Land. Thanks Maggie, Hamilton. You are my best friends. Happy friendship Day! BOTH: Happy Friendship Day! (Soft music plays) MAGGIE: The

contraption

.

Is it my turn now? Yes Beast, go ahead and turn. Oh! That wasn't very fun. Try it again. (upbeat music plays) Did I win? (Laughing) Not yet, but maybe soon. BEAST: Why didn't Hamilton want to play? He's been drawing all morning but he doesn't tell me what he's drawing. We'll see! What's wrong with our game? We can finish it later. Okay, but it's my turn when we get back. BEAST: What are you drawing Hamilton? (Sighing) Well... it's a gadget. What kind of gadget? A surprise gadget. Court! What does he do? Well, I can't tell you, that's the surprise!

Now, if you don't mind, I have a lot of work to do. We can help? Both please! In fact, you could help me find some things I need to build my

contraption

. Like what? Well, I need a boot, a spring, a big glove, a pinwheel and... oh yeah, a marble! We can get those things! Surely we can. A boot, where are we going to get a boot? We could use my goolosh, they're in Hamilton's box. Oh yeah, I forgot. Your galoshes, that's good. (Soft music plays) Come on, Beast, let's get the other things Hamilton needs. A spring, a spring!

We need a big elastic spring. (upbeat music plays) Hello. Beast, I don't think we'll find a spring there. So where are we going to get one? Hmm. Maybe Nettly has one. Come on! Well! Clearly! Clearly! Hi Maggie, hi Beast. Hello Nettly. Hamilton is building a contraption and he needs us to find a spring. Do you have a spring? Well, now let me think. I think so. I'll be back in a heartbeat. (Banjo music plays) Here you go, this spring you can borrow. But bring it back, I might need it tomorrow. You wouldn't have big gloves down there, would you?

Now, why would I need them? I have rabbit fur on my hands and toes. Ah, thanks anyway. Try the friendly Giant, maybe he has a glove. I bet he has many; at least one you would love. Hmm, it may be a little big but it's worth a try. Hello! Kindly giant, sir? GIANT: Beast and Maggie, what brings you here? I bet you want a strawberry from my garden? Oh yeah, let's pick one. Beast, we can get a strawberry later. (Screaming) That's very kind of you, Mr. Giant. But actually we would like to borrow a glove. Hamilton is building a contraption.

GIANT: Gadget? I see. Well, how about my gardening glove? I lost the other one, so you can have that too. Do you have anything smaller Mr. Giant? GIANT: (Laughing) I'll see what I can do. Did the other one lose? How do you lose something so big? GIANT: How about this? I used it when I was a baby. It is perfect! Thank you so much! (Happy music plays) (Screams) Goodbye, Mr. Giant! GIANT: (Laughing) Goodbye little ones. I'll come back later for that strawberry. Next stop, the city of cheese. BEAST: I hope Rudy has a pinwheel. A cogwheel?

Wow, I don't think he has one of those. But Rudy, isn't that a pinwheel? Hey? You're right, it's been holding up my clothesline for so long I forgot what it was. My clothes are washed, so don't hesitate to borrow them. Thank you. (Wheel squeaks) Now all we need is a marble. But we already have a marble. We make? Oh, of course! A marble Don't take mine! I'm winning. (Laughing) Don't worry Beast, I'll bring him back. BEAST: Great, googily moogily! MAGGIE: Hamilton is amazing! Thank you. We found everything you were looking for. Marvelous. Maggie, spring please. (Soft music plays) Here you go. (Grunts) Now the glove.

Here it is. (Happy music plays) Pinwheel. Pin wheel. My gadget is ready. We're going to try it! Where is the marble? Thanks Maggie. (Drumming) Here it goes! (Happy music plays) Woo wee! Works! Hamilton, that was a great device! (laughs) Does it work for blueberry muffins? Let's try! That was great Hamilton! BEAST: Yes! HAMILTON: Thank you, Maggie. (Happy music plays)
