Panda says, IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING FROM PLANET PURPLE!
Donkey Hodie says, HMM!

(Gasping)
Both say, SUPER DUPER MAGIC FUN BOX!
Panda says, LET'S SEE WHAT'S INSIDE!
Donkey cries, YES!
There is a large button on top of the box. Donkey Hodie lifts the lid, and they look inside.
Panda says, IT'S EMPTY!
Donkey Hodie asks, WHY IS IT CALLED A SUPER DUPER MAGIC FUN BOX IF THERE'S NOTHING INSIDE?
Panda says, LET ME CHECK THE CARD AGAIN. AH, IT SAYS, THIS SPECIAL BOX WILL BRING US SUPER FUN THINGS ALL DAY LONG!

(Slide whistle)
Donkey Hodie cries, THAT WAS HEE-HAWESOME! YOU GOTTA TRY IT!
Panda says, OKAY! HERE I GO!
(Humming)
Panda tosses the ball a couple times. He tosses it higher, and it lands on his head and balances there. Panda shifts and the ball rolls down his back. He hits it with his back, and it bounces up.
(Chiming)
Panda catches the ball.
Panda shouts, HEY-O!
(Laughing)
Donkey Hodie says, THAT WAS SUPER DUPER FUN!

Donkey Hodie picks up the baton.
Donkey Hodie asks, REALLY?
She moves the baton.
(Loud orchestral music playing)
Panda jumps.
Panda says, SEE!
Donkey Hodie says, OH, OKAY! WELL, SO WHAT? I LIKE IT, AND YOU DON'T. NO BIG DEAL. HA HA! LET'S JUST HIT THE BUTTON AGAIN AND FIND SOMETHING WE BOTH LIKE.

Coconut Robot says, HOP. HOP. DANCE. DANCE.
The robot waves its arms.
(Panda laughing)
Panda says, THIS ROBOT IS SUPER FUN!
Coconut Robot says, HUG. HUG. HUG. HUG. HUG.
Donkey Hodie backs away from the robot. She trips and falls.
Panda says, OH! YOU OKAY, DONKEY?
Panda helps Donkey Hodie up.
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH. YEAH, BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT, I DON'T REALLY LIKE THE COCONUT ROBOT.
Panda says, BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. I LOVE IT, SO YOU MUST LOVE IT, TOO.
Donkey Hodie says, I DON'T, PANDA. IT KIND OF SCARES ME.
Panda says, OH, DONKEY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SCARED. I CAN PUT IT AWAY IF IT'S BOTHERING YOU.
Donkey Hodie says, THANKS, PANDA. I JUST DON'T LIKE THE COCONUT ROBOT.
Panda says, WELL, I DIDN'T LIKE THE CONDUCTOR'S BATON.
Donkey Hodie says, THIS IS SO STRANGE. BEST FRIENDS ARE SUPPOSED TO LIKE THE SAME THINGS, RIGHT?
Panda says, MM, WELL, MAYBE WE'RE NOT BEST FRIENDS ANYMORE.
Donkey Hodie asks, WE'RE NOT?
Panda says, WELL, HOW CAN WE BE? WE DISAGREE ON WHAT'S FUN.
They look at each other.
Both say, OH, NO! WE'RE NOT BEST FRIENDS ANYMORE!
(Music playing)
Panda and Donkey Hodie sit on the ground, leaning against the box.
(Both sighing)
Grampy Hodie, a grey donkey, walks by.
(Humming)
He stops and looks at Donkey Hodie.
Grampy asks, WHAT'S WRONG, MY LITTLE DONKAROO?
Donkey Hodie says, PANDA AND I CAN'T BE BEST BUDDIES ANYMORE.
Grampy asks, WELL, WHY NOT?
Panda says, WELL, ‘CAUSE WE REALIZED WE DON'T ALWAYS LIKE THE SAME THINGS.
Donkey Hodie says, MM-HMM.
Grampy says, WELL, WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T BE BEST FRIENDS IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SAME THINGS?
Donkey Hodie says, BEST FRIENDS ALWAYS LIKE THE SAME THINGS, DON'T THEY?
(Music playing)
Donkey Hodie gets up.
Donkey Hodie singing, WHAT DOES A FRIEND HAVE TO BE? DO THEY HAVE TO BE JUST LIKE ME? AND SEE THE WORLD THE WAY I SEE? OR CAN TWO FRIENDS DISAGREE?
Grampy singing, A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO CAN SAY THE WAY THEY FEEL ON ANY DAY, A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO LISTENS, TOO, AND CAN HEAR ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW.
Donkey Hodie says, OKAY, I'LL SAY HOW I FEEL. AND I'LL LISTEN TO HOW PANDA FEELS.
Panda walks over.
Panda says, ME TOO! GO AHEAD, DONKEY. YOU GO FIRST.
Donkey Hodie singing, I LIKE TO WAVE THAT COOL BATON, BUT YOU DON'T WANT IT ON.
Panda singing, IT'S KIND OF LOUD, IT STARTLES ME, AND MAKES ME FEEL ALL FLINCHY!
Donkey Hodie singing, I LIKE THE WAY THE MUSIC PLAYS WHEN I MOVE IT DIFFERENT WAYS.
Panda singing, I UNDERSTAND, I'M CATCHING ON. I CAN SEE WHY YOU LIKE THE LOUD BATON.
Donkey Hodie singing, AND I UNDERSTAND, I GET IT, TOO. I CAN SEE WHY IT IS NOT FOR YOU.
Grampy says, GREAT LISTENING, DONKEY AND PANDA. YOU BOTH EXPLAINED HOW YOU FEEL AND UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER BETTER.
Panda says, YEAH! BUT I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS.
Grampy asks, WHAT ARE THEY?
Panda singing, WHAT DOES A FRIEND HAVE TO DO? DO THEY HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU DO, TOO? AND SEE THE WORLD JUST LIKE YOU? OR CAN THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW?
Grampy singing, FRIENDS CAN LIKE ALL DIFFERENT STUFF. CAN THEY STILL BE FRIENDS? WHY, SURE ENOUGH. JUST TALK, DISCUSS, COMMUNICATE. LISTENING MAKES FRIENDSHIP GREAT!
Panda says, LET'S KEEP TELLING EACH OTHER HOW WE FEEL.
Donkey Hodie says, THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS DO!
Panda singing, I LIKE THE ROBOT COCONUT. TO MAKE IT MOVE IS SO FUN, BUT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY. YOU WANTED TO GO A DIFFERENT WAY!
Donkey Hodie singing, I HAVE SOMETHING I'D LIKE TO SHARE, THAT ROBOT GIVES ME A SCARE. I GET WHY YOU LIKE TO MAKE IT RUN, BUT IT FRIGHTENS ME AND ISN'T FUN.
Panda says, I GET WHY YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DONKEY!
Donkey Hodie says, I GET WHY YOU DO LIKE IT, PANDA.
Donkey Hodie singing, EVEN IF WE DON'T AGREE, YOU CAN STILL BE FRIENDS WITH ME.
All singing, WHAT DOES A FRIEND HAVE TO BE? THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE JUST LIKE ME AND SEE THE WORLD THE WAY I SEE! AND YES, TWO FRIENDS CAN DISAGREE, YES, TWO FRIEND CAN DISAGREE! YES, TWO FRIENDS CAN DISAGREE!
Panda says, THANK YOU, GRAMPY!
Donkey Hodie says, THANKS, GRAMPY!
Grampy says, YOU'RE WELCOME! BYE BYE!
Grampy walks away.
(Giggling)
Donkey Hodie says, BYE! WE DON'T HAVE TO LIKE THE SAME THINGS, PANDA. THE IMPORTANT THING IS, I LIKE YOU! AND I ALWAYS WANT TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND.
Panda says, AND I ALWAYS WANT TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND, DONKEY!
(Giggling)
Panda says, C'MON!
They walk to the box and press the button together.
(Ringing)
The box spins and the lid floats away. A giant lemon pops out of the box.
(Squeaking)
Donkey Hodie cries, OH! OH! A GIANT LEMON SQUISHY TOY! OH, I WANT TO GIVE IT A BIG SQUISHY HUG. OH! BUT I UNDERSTAND IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.
Panda says, NO WAY! SQUISHY LEMON HUGS SOUND AMAZING!
Donkey Hodie says, THEN WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? IT'S TIME FOR...
Both cry, SQUISHY LEMON HUGS!
They both hug the lemon.
(Squeaking)
(Laughing)

Donkey Hodie says, I GET WHY YOU DO LIKE IT, PANDA.
Donkey Hodie singing, EVEN IF WE DON'T AGREE, YOU CAN STILL BE FRIENDS WITH ME.
All singing, WHAT DOES A FRIEND HAVE TO BE? THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE JUST LIKE ME AND SEE THE WORLD THE WAY I SEE! AND YES, TWO FRIENDS CAN DISAGREE, YES, TWO FRIEND CAN DISAGREE! YES, TWO FRIENDS CAN DISAGREE!
Panda says, THANK YOU, GRAMPY!
Donkey Hodie says, THANKS, GRAMPY!
Grampy says, YOU'RE WELCOME! BYE BYE!
Grampy walks away.
(Giggling)
Donkey Hodie says, BYE! WE DON'T HAVE TO LIKE THE SAME THINGS, PANDA. THE IMPORTANT THING IS, I LIKE YOU! AND I ALWAYS WANT TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND.
Panda says, AND I ALWAYS WANT TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND, DONKEY!
(Giggling)
Panda says, C'MON!
They walk to the box and press the button together.
(Ringing)
The box spins and the lid floats away. A giant lemon pops out of the box.
(Squeaking)
Donkey Hodie cries, OH! OH! A GIANT LEMON SQUISHY TOY! OH, I WANT TO GIVE IT A BIG SQUISHY HUG. OH! BUT I UNDERSTAND IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.
Panda says, NO WAY! SQUISHY LEMON HUGS SOUND AMAZING!
Donkey Hodie says, THEN WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? IT'S TIME FOR...
Both cry, SQUISHY LEMON HUGS!
They both hug the lemon.
(Squeaking)
(Laughing)
Panda cries, HUG, HUG!
Donkey Hodie says, HUG, HUG! SO SQUISHY!
Panda says, YEAH!
(Music playing)
