Hungarian Hiccups/Transcript

June: Art by… Henri Rousseau.

Annie: And…

["Hungarian Dance No. 5" playing]

Leo: Music by Johannes Brahms. The scene starts that the heroes are entering the Great Sky Race for the first time!

Annie: Way to go, Rocket! This is spectacular!

Leo: Great flying, Rocket. Hi, I'm Leo, and this is our best friend, Rocket.

[Rocket jingling]

Leo: Today, Rocket is going to be in the Great Sky Race! Rocket, there's the starting line.

[Rocket jingling]

Quincy: Whoa, look at all the planes.

Annie: And jets! And helicopters! We know you're gonna win, Rocket.

Quincy: You're the fastest, coolest Rocket ever.

[Rocket jingling]

Leo: Rocket is really, really fast. Are you fast? Wow!

[Rocket jingling "Hungarian Dance Number 5"]

Leo: Rocket is singing his special race song,

All: Hooray for Rocket!

All: La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, da ya

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, da ya

[Rocket jingling melodically with violin playing]

[Suddenly, the heroes hear another air vehicle, who's a legend, a master and a great champion for generations]

Annie: What's the matter, Rocket?

[Rumbling, and someone is waiting for Rocket and they meet for the first time: A big mean, blue nasty jet who's a Great Archenemy named Big Jet!]

Quincy: Oh, no! Look at that Big Jet!

Annie: Wow, he's so fast.

Leo: Don't be nervous, Rocket. You're gonna win this race. I know it.

[Rocket jingles]

[Rocket flies for a moment. Suddenly…]

[Rocket hiccups melodically]

Annie: Huh? Rocket, what are you doing?

[Rocket hiccups]

Quincy: Stop fooling around, Rocket. You've got to get ready for the great sky race.

[Rocket hiccups]

June: Wait a minute. Rocket has the hiccups!

Leo: Oh, no! Have you ever had the hiccups? Rocket's never had the hiccups before. Rocket, let's land.

[Rocket hiccups]

Quincy: Every time rocket hiccups, he goes backwards.

Annie: But the race is going to start soon!

[Rocket hiccups]

June: Rocket can't be in the great sky race with rocket hiccups!

Annie: But how do you fix Rocket hiccups?

Quincy: Stopping rocket hiccups must be sort of like stopping kid hiccups.

Annie: When I get the hiccups, Leo sneaks up behind me and yells, "Boo!" That surprises my hiccups away.

Leo: That's a great idea, Annie. We've got a mission!

[Baton jingling]

Leo: We're going to surprise the hiccups out of Rocket so he can win the race.

All: Yay!

[Rocket hiccups]

June: Hmm… How should we surprise Rocket?

Quincy: I've got an idea! We'll sneak up behind Rocket and crash cymbals! That's sure to surprise him.

Leo: Good thinking, Quincy. But where can we find cymbals?

June: I know! Let's go to orchestra ocean. They're all kinds of instruments in orchestra ocean.

Leo: That's perfect. To Rocket!

All: We've got a mission!

We've got a mission!

Leo: Come on!

[Door closes]

Leo: Welcome aboard! Buckle your seat belts.

Others: Seat belts buckled!

Leo: Prepare for blast off! We're going to need a lot of power to blast off. Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

[Rocket revving]

Leo: June is patting. Quincy's patting. Annie's patting.

[Annie giggling]

Leo: But we need more power! Put your hands on your lap and pat with us. Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat. Faster! Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat!

[Rocket revving]

Leo: Now raise your arms as high as you can and say blast off!

All: Blast off! Whoa!!

[Rocket hiccups]

June: We're here! Ooh, look at all the lovely instruments. Oh, I just adore orchestra ocean.

[Rocket hiccups]

June: Whoops. We really need to do something about these hiccups.

Quincy: Come on! Let's find the cymbals. Rocket, lower your Look and Listen Scope.

[Scope beeping]

Annie: I see violins… and drums… and cellos…

Annie: But I don't see any cymbals.

[Cymbals crashing]

Quincy: I can hear the cymbals. Do you see the cymbals? Yeah, there they are.

Annie: Those cymbals are loud.

June: They're sure to surprise Rocket.

Leo: We have to catch them.

Leo: Annie, use the clapper catcher.

Annie: Okey-dokey! Rocket, lower the clapper catcher.

[Clapper catcher thumping; splash]

Leo: That was awesome, Annie. Great job!

Quincy: Okay, guys… Now we can surprise Rocket's hiccups away.

Leo: Rocket, let's head for land.

[Rocket hiccups]

Leo: Wait here, Rocket. We'll be right back. Will you help us surprise Rocket. Great! Pretend your hands are cymbals.

Quincy: Now clap your cymbals. Clap!

June: That was nice, loud clapping.

Quincy: Now, shh! Get your hands ready and be very, very quiet. And when we clap our cymbals, clap your cymbals with us. Ready? Let's practice.

[Music playing calmly]

[Music goes crescendo; crash]

Quincy: Good going! Now let's surprise Rocket. We have to sneak up on him. Ready?

[Music playing calmly]

[Music goes crescendo; crash]

[Rocket jingling]

Leo: Rocket loved that surprise.

Quincy: Way to clap your cymbals.

June: That must've stopped Rocket's hiccups.

Leo: Let's listen.

[Music playing]

[Rocket hiccups]

Leo: Does he still have the hiccups? You're right? Your hiccups are still there!

June: Don't worry, Rocket. We'll find a way for you to fly in the great sky race.

Annie: What do we do? Hmmm…

Leo: We need to find an even bigger surprise.

Quincy: Yeah, a bigger surprise should stop Rocket's hiccups.

Annie: I have an idea! A big animal, like a tiger. That will surprise Rocket.

June: That'a a fantastic idea, Annie.

Leo: We have got to go to the jungle. To Rocket!

[Music playing]

Leo: Look, it's the great sky race starting line.

June: It's almost time for the race.

[Big Jet whirring]

Quincy: Uh-oh. Look who's getting ready, guys. It's Big Jet.

Annie: We have to hurry.

Leo: Let's go, Rocket.

[Rocket hiccups]

Quincy: Wow! This jungle is huge!

June: How are we going to find a tiger?

Leo: Do you see a tiger? Yeah, there it is.

Annie: That sure is a big tiger.

[Tiger jingling]

Leo: He's a friendly tiger.

Quincy: But I'll bet he has a nice big roar.

[Tiger roars melodically]

Quincy: I was right.

June: Will you help us surprise our friend Rocket?

[Tiger jingling yes]

Leo: Let's help the tiger surprise Rocket. We have to creep up behind Rocket so we can roar and surprise the hiccups away.

June: Lets creep like tigers. Creep with us. Pretend your hands are tiger paws like this. We have to move slower and slower. Ritardando, like the music.

All: Creep, creep. Ritardando. Creep, creep. Ritardando.

June: Slower, slower. Ritardando.

All: Creep, creep. Ritardando.

June: Now roar real loud.

All: Roar!

[Rocket jingling loudly]

Leo: Rocket loved that surprise.

June: That was some sneaky creeping.

Annie: That was a loud roar.

Quincy: It must've stopped Rocket's hiccups.

Annie: Let's listen.

[Music playing]

[Rocket hiccups]

Leo: Does Rocket still have the hiccups? You're right. He still has the hiccups.

Annie: Now what should we do?

Leo: Well, the cymbals didn't stop the hiccups.

June: And the tiger's roar didn't stop the hiccups.

Quincy: We need the biggest surprise ever to stop Rocket's hiccups.

June: I've got it! A geyser!

Leo: A geyser?

Annie: What's a geyser?

June: It's a hole in the earth that shoots out water high into the sky.

Quincy: A geyser will be the biggest surprise ever!

Leo: Perfect. To Rocket!

[Rocket hiccups]

June: Oh, no! Look! The other planes and jets are lining up at the starting line.

Quincy: The race is going to start soon.

[Rocket hiccups]

Leo: Don't you worry, Rocket. We're going to stop those hiccups.

Quincy: I see the geyser holes, but June, where's all the water?

June: Wow!

Leo: This is going to be great. Come on, let's help the geyser surprise Rocket. When the music stops, say, "Splash!!" Let's practice. Ready? Listen to the music.

[Music playing; pause; crescendo]

All: Splash!

Annie: It worked! Water came splashing out!

Leo: Now let's surprise Rocket.

June: Oh, Rocket… Come sit over here. Yep. Right there, Rocket. That's good.

Leo: Okay. Get ready to splash. When the music stops, say, "Splash!!"

[Music playing; pause; crescendo]

All: Splash!

[Rocket jingling loudly]

Leo: Rocket likes riding on the water. Let's listen.

[Music playing]

[Rocket hiccups]

Leo: Does he still have the hiccups? Yes, they're still there!

Annie: What do we do now, Leo?

June: It looks like nothing can surprise those hiccups away!

Quincy: We've got to stop these hiccups soon. The race is going to start!

[Rocket hiccups]

[Rocket jingling worriedly]

Leo: Don't worry, Rocket. We'll think of something.

[Tiny music playing]

Annie: Hey there, little mouse.

[Tiny music playing]

[Rocket jingling very loudly]

Quincy: Whoa! Where did Rocket go?

June: Rocket, come back! It was just a mouse.

Leo: Rocket, that little, tiny mouse surprised you?

[Music playing magnificently]

Annie: Rocket sounds different.

Leo: Let's listen.

[Music playing magnificently]

Leo: Does Rocket still have the hiccups? No! The little mouse surprised the hiccups right out of Rocket!

All: Yay!

Quincy: Come on. We've got to get to that race!

Annie: Thank you, little mouse!

[Tiny music playing]

June: The race is starting.

Leo: We have to catch up.

Quincy: Go, Rocket, go!

Leo: We need your help to help Rocket go faster. Pat your hands to the beat of the music.

[All patting]

Quincy: Rocket is zooming across the globe. He's behind, but he's catching up fast.

Leo: Rocket has to go around the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Do you see the Eiffel Tower? Yeah, there it is!

Leo: Go, Rocket!

Leo: Now we're heading for the pyramids in Egypt.

All: Go, Rocket!

Annie: Hooray!

June: You're almost there.

Quincy: Whoa! Rocket is passing airplanes left and right.

Leo: Keep going!

Leo: It's the Colosseum in Rome.

Quincy: Look, there's another plane.

June: Whoo-hoo!

June: Rocket passed the plane.

June: We're catching up.

Annie: Wow! The Grand Canyon is so big!

Leo: Go, Rocket! I know you can pass this plane.

All: Hooray!!

Quincy: Rocket is passing everyone except…

Leo: Big Jet!

Big Jet: [Whirring, saying "You should not have come back."]

Leo: Rocket, you can pass him!

Quincy: Rocket is in the lead. Big Jet is in the lead. No, wait. Rocket is in the lead! The finish line is getting closer.

Leo: We have to pat faster. Help Rocket! Pat your hands on your lap. Pat pat pat pat pat pat pat pat.

Quincy: Rocket wins the race!

Annie: You won!

June: Magnificent!

Quincy: Wow.

Leo: I knew you could do it, Rocket. Rocket, that was awesome flying.

[Rocket jingling]

June: You're welcome, Rocket,

Annie: Let's sing Rocket's race song!

Leo: Sing with us!

All: La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, da ya

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, da ya

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, da ya

Others: Leo!
