Grampy says, MM-HMM!
Donkey Hodie asks, WHAT'S THE SURPRISE YOU WANNA SHOW ME?
Grampy gestures at the sky.
Grampy says, THIS... THE PURPLE MOON!
A crescent moon glows with a purple light.
Donkey Hodie says, WHOA!
Grampy says, A RARE SIGHT IN SOMEPLACE ELSE THAT APPEARS ONCE, MAYBE TWICE, A LIFETIME. AND WHEN THE PURPLE MOON IS FULL, ITS BRIGHT LAVENDER LIGHT EVEN ATTRACTS MOOING MOON MOTHS.
(Gasping)

Grampy says, HUNDREDS OF ‘EM! MORE THAN YOUR LITTLE HOOVES CAN COUNT!
Donkey Hodie says, MORE THAN TWO? THIS IS THE MOST HEE-HAWESOME SURPRISE EVER! OH, I'M SO EXCITED!
(Boinging)
Donkey Hodie hops up and down.
Grampy says, YEAH, I CAN SEE THAT.
Donkey Hodie says, YEAH, SOMETIMES WHEN I GET EXCITED, I SHOW IT WITH A HOP.
Grampy holds up a photograph of him as a young donkey in front of a full moon. A tear is in the corner of young Grampy’s eye.
Grampy says, I DON'T BLAME YOU, DONKEY DARLIN'. I REMEMBER HOW EXCITED I WAS TO SEE MY FIRST PURPLE MOON. I WAS JUST ABOUT YOUR AGE.
Donkey Hodie asks, HEY, WHY WERE YOU CRYING? I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE EXCITED.
Grampy says, SO EXCITED! SOMETIMES WHEN I GET THAT EXCITED MY EYES TEAR UP.
(Gasping)
Donkey Hodie says, SO WHEN YOU GET EXCITED YOU SOMETIMES CRY, AND WHEN I GET EXCITED, I HOP.
Grampy says, YUP! THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO SHOW HOW YOU FEEL, AND RIGHT NOW, I FEEL SO LUCKY THAT I GET TO SEE THE PURPLE MOON AGAIN WITH YOU!
(Giggling)
Donkey Hodie says, AND DON'T FORGET THE MOOING MOON MOTHS. MOOOOOOO! MOOOOOOOO!
Grampy says, SSSHH! REMEMBER, MOOING MOON MOTHS DON'T LIKE LOUD NOISES. SO, IF WE WANT TO SEE THEM, WE HAVE TO BE REALLY QUIET.
Donkey Hodie says, OH! OH, CAN I INVITE PURPLE PANDA OVER? I JUST KNOW HE WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS THIS.
Grampy says, WELL, OF COURSE! HEY, YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO NEED PURPLE MOON-WATCHING SNACKS! BE RIGHT BACK...
Grampy walks away. Donkey Hodie takes out a walkie talkie.

Donkey Hodie says, REALLY? HMM.
(Bell chime)
Donkey Hodie says, HEY, I HAVE AN IDEA! IF YOU HEY-O FROM INSIDE THE TENT, MAYBE IT WON'T SOUND AS LOUD OUTSIDE THE TENT.
Panda says, HEY YEAH, AND IF IT'S NOT AS LOUD IT WON'T SCARE THE MOON MOTHS.
Donkey Hodie says, LET'S TRY IT!

Panda says, OOOO!
Donkey Hodie says, OKAY, PANDA, LET'S TRY THAT HEY-O!
Panda says, OKAY.
(Clearing throat)
Panda shouts, HEY-OOOOOOOOO!
The tent is blown upwards and away leaving Donkey Hodie and Panda sitting on the ground.
Donkey Hodie says, WELL, LOOKS LIKE THE TENT COULDN'T HANDLE ONE OF YOUR HEY-O'S.
(Gasping)
Panda says, AND LOOK... THE PURPLE MOON IS ALMOST FULL!
Donkey Hodie says, WHICH MEANS THE MOOING MOON MOTHS ARE GONNA FLY BY SOON!
Panda says, OHHH, WE CAN'T MISS THEM, DONKEY.

Panda says, OKAY.
They lean their heads together.
Donkey Hodie says, THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK.
Panda says, THINK, PURPLE PANDA, THINK.
(Music playing)
Bubbles float by.
(Popping, honking)
Panda says, UH. HEY, DONKEY, UH, DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY, BUT IT'S, UH, KIND OF HARD TO THINK WHEN YOU'RE GOING "HONK HONK" LIKE THAT.
Donkey Hodie says, OH, THAT'S NOT ME.

Donkey Hodie says, IT'S COMING FROM THOSE BUBBLES.
(Popping, honking)
More bubbles float by and pop.
(Gasping)
Panda says, OH! HIIIII!
(Giggling)

(Honking)
Gregory stands by an inflatable pool filled with soapy water. He blows bubbles with his trunk.
Panda says, OH, THOSE MUST'VE BEEN GREGORY'S "HONKS" WE HEARD IN THE BUBBLES.
Donkey Hodie says, OH YEAH! GREGORY LOVES TO BLOW BUBBLES. HE REALLY LIKES IT WHEN I BLOW SWEET LITTLE SOMETHINGS IN THE BUBBLES.
Panda asks, SWEET LITTLE SOMETHIN'S?
Donkey Hodie holds up a bubble wand.
Donkey Hodie says, WATCH THIS...
(Music playing)
Donkey Hodie goes to the pool and dips her wand in the water. She holds it up.
Donkey Hodie whispering, WHO'S A GOOD BOY?
A bubble floats from the wand towards Gregory.
(Popping)
Donkey Hodie’s voice in the bubble says, WHO'S A GOOD BOY?
Gregory says, AWW!
(Giggling)
Panda says, HEY! IF I HEY-O INTO THE BUBBLE, MAYBE IT WILL FLOAT UP AND POP FAR AWAY SO THE MOON MOTHS CAN'T HEAR IT!
Donkey Hodie says, THAT MIGHT WORK!
Panda says, OK...
Panda picks up a big bubble wand.
(Humming)
He walks over to the pool and dips the wand in the water.
(Music playing)
Panda holds the wand up to his mouth.
Panda in a muffled voice says, HEY-O!
A big bubble floats out of the wand and drifts upwards.
(Popping)
Panda’s voice in the bubble shouts, HEY-O!
(Gasping)
Donkey Hodie jumps.
Panda says, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TRY, DONKEY. OH, AND THE PURPLE MOON WILL BE FULL ANY SECOND NOW... HEY-O! UGH.
Donkey Hodie says, AND WE STILL HAVEN'T FOUND A WAY FOR YOU TO HEY-O THAT WON'T FRIGHTEN AWAY THE MOOING MOON MOTHS.
Panda says, OH, I JUST LOVE THE PURPLE MOON SO MUCH, DONKEY.
Donkey Hodie says, AND WHEN YOU REALLY LOVE SOMETHING, YOU GO "HEY-O."
Panda says, WELL, YEAH, THAT'S HOW I SHOW HOW I FEEL.
Donkey Hodie says, HMMM. WAIT A MINUTE. MAYBE THERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO SHOW HOW YOU FEEL. WHEN I SAW THE PURPLE MOON, I WAS SO EXCITED. I SHOWED IT BY HOPPING UP AND DOWN.
Panda says, WELL, NATURALLY.
Donkey Hodie says, HA HA! BUT WHEN GRAMPY FIRST SAW THE PURPLE MOON, HE WAS SO EXCITED THAT HE GOT ALL TEARY.
Panda says, OOH!
Donkey Hodie says, THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO SHOW HOW YOU FEEL.
Panda says, SOOO, I JUST NEED TO THINK OF ANOTHER WAY TO SHOW THE PURPLE MOON HOW I FEEL. UM, WELL, I KIND OF DO THIS ARM PUMP KIND OF THING WHEN I HEY-O. NO HEY-O IS COMPLETE WITHOUT IT.
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW, IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A DANCE MOVE.
Panda says, HEY, YEAH! YEAH! WHAT IF I DO A HEY-O DANCE FOR THE PURPLE MOON TO SHOW IT MY LOVE?
(Humming)
Panda sways and dances.
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAWESOME IDEA, PANDA! YOU CAN DANCE THE WAY YOU FEEL. THAT WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT "HEY-O" TO SHOW IT!
Panda says, HEY-OOOO...OH... I MEAN...
Panda dances.
(Giggling)
Donkey Hodie says, COME ON, PANDA, WE HAVE SOME MOOING MOON MOTHS TO MEET!
Panda says, OKAY!
(Music playing)
Grampy and Gregory sit with Panda and Donkey Hodie on logs around a tree stump with a plate of snacks on it.
Grampy says, WHOA, HEY, EVERYBODY! THE PURPLE MOON IS OFFICIALLY FULL.
The full moon glows purple.
Donkey Hodie says, WOAH!
Grampy says, WONDERFUL.
Donkey Hodie says, LIKE A PERIWINKLE PIZZA PIE. HUH, PANDA? PANDA?
Panda stares up with his mouth open.
(Gasping)
Panda says, PURPLE MOON.
Donkey Hodie asks, PANDA?
Panda stands.
(Inhaling)
Panda freezes.
Panda says, WAIT. I HAVE ANOTHER WAY TO SHOW MY LOVE FOR THE MOON. I DON'T NEED TO HEY-O AT IT, I CAN DO MY HEY-O DANCE.
(Humming)
Panda dances.
Donkey Hodie says, GREAT JOB, PANDA!
Panda says, THANK YOU, DONKEY. COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.
(Moths mooing)
Grampy says, HEY! LISTEN!
(Gasping)
Small moths flap across the night sky.
Donkey Hodie says, THE MOOING MOON MOTHS ARE HERE!
Grampy says, MM-HMM. HUNDREDS OF THEM!
Moths flutter around Panda.
Panda says, OH, I LOVE MY LITTLE MOOING FRIENDS SO MUCH.

Panda says, SOOO, I JUST NEED TO THINK OF ANOTHER WAY TO SHOW THE PURPLE MOON HOW I FEEL. UM, WELL, I KIND OF DO THIS ARM PUMP KIND OF THING WHEN I HEY-O. NO HEY-O IS COMPLETE WITHOUT IT.
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAW, IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A DANCE MOVE.
Panda says, HEY, YEAH! YEAH! WHAT IF I DO A HEY-O DANCE FOR THE PURPLE MOON TO SHOW IT MY LOVE?
(Humming)
Panda sways and dances.
Donkey Hodie says, HEE-HAWESOME IDEA, PANDA! YOU CAN DANCE THE WAY YOU FEEL. THAT WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT "HEY-O" TO SHOW IT!
Panda says, HEY-OOOO...OH... I MEAN...
Panda dances.
(Giggling)
Donkey Hodie says, COME ON, PANDA, WE HAVE SOME MOOING MOON MOTHS TO MEET!
Panda says, OKAY!
(Music playing)
Grampy and Gregory sit with Panda and Donkey Hodie on logs around a tree stump with a plate of snacks on it.
Grampy says, WHOA, HEY, EVERYBODY! THE PURPLE MOON IS OFFICIALLY FULL.
The full moon glows purple.
Donkey Hodie says, WOAH!
Grampy says, WONDERFUL.
Donkey Hodie says, LIKE A PERIWINKLE PIZZA PIE. HUH, PANDA? PANDA?
Panda stares up with his mouth open.
(Gasping)
Panda says, PURPLE MOON.
Donkey Hodie asks, PANDA?
Panda stands.
(Inhaling)
Panda freezes.
Panda says, WAIT. I HAVE ANOTHER WAY TO SHOW MY LOVE FOR THE MOON. I DON'T NEED TO HEY-O AT IT, I CAN DO MY HEY-O DANCE.
(Humming)
Panda dances.
Donkey Hodie says, GREAT JOB, PANDA!
Panda says, THANK YOU, DONKEY. COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.
(Moths mooing)
Grampy says, HEY! LISTEN!
(Gasping)
Small moths flap across the night sky.
Donkey Hodie says, THE MOOING MOON MOTHS ARE HERE!
Grampy says, MM-HMM. HUNDREDS OF THEM!
Moths flutter around Panda.
Panda says, OH, I LOVE MY LITTLE MOOING FRIENDS SO MUCH.
(Giggling)
Panda says, MOO, MOO, MOO!
Grampy says, LOOKS LIKE THE MOON MOTHS LIKE YOUR DANCING JUST AS MUCH AS THEY LIKE THE PURPLE MOON.
Panda says, YEAH, LOOK AT THEM FLUTTERING AROUND ME. THEY'RE SO EXCITED.
(Mooing)
Donkey Hodie says, WELP, THAT'S 'ONE' WAY TO SHOW HOW YOU FEEL.
(Giggling)
Panda says, PURPLE MOOOOON.
Donkey Hodie says, AHH!
Grampy says, LOOK AT THIS. BEAUTIFUL!
