[Gentle music plays]
Donkey says, WELL, WHAT WE NEED IS SOMETHING BRAND NEW TO TRY. SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF YET.
Duck Duck says, YEAH, BUT WHAT?
Donkey says, WELL, I'M NOT SURE. THINK, DONKEY HODIE. THINK. HMM.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT PANDA WANTS US ALL TO GO TO PLANET PURPLE FOR A PURPLE POLKA-DOT POLKA PARTY, BUT THERE AREN'T ENOUGH SEATS ON THE SPACESHIP. HMM. HEY! I KNOW SOMETHING BRAND NEW WE CAN TRY.
SINCE WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET US ALL TO PLANET PURPLE, MAYBE WE CAN HAVE A PURPLE POLKA-DOT POLKA PARTY RIGHT HERE IN SOMEPLACE ELSE.
[Duck Duck gasping]
Bob Dog says, BOW-WOWIE!
Donkey says, THEN, AFTER THAT, PANDA, YOU CAN GO TO THE PURPLE POLKA-DOT POLKA PARTY ON PLANET PURPLE.
Panda says, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, DONKEY. HEY-HO! WAIT A MINUTE. BUT THEN YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE THE PURPLE POLKA DOTS HERE. THAT ONLY HAPPENS ON PLANET PURPLE.
Donkey says, WELL, THAT'S OKAY, PANDA-PAL.
Bob Dog says, YEAH. WE'LL HAVE FUN DANCING THE PURPLE POLKA-DOT POLKA WITH YOU, WITHOUT THE PURPLE POLKA DOTS.
Duck Duck says, YEAH, BUT IT'LL HAVE TO BE A REALLY FAST PARTY SO YOU DON'T MISS YOUR OTHER PARTY. COME ON.
Panda says, OKAY.

Panda says, RIGHT, DUCK DUCK. BUT WE HAVE FIVE PASSENGERS AND ONLY FOUR SEATS.
Donkey says, WELL, I'LL SHARE A SEAT WITH YOU, PANDA-PAL. UH, EXCUSE ME. YEP. YEP.
Donkey squeezes between Panda and the steering wheel.
[Grunting]
Donkey asks, AND HOW'S THAT?
Panda says, UH, DONKEY?
Donkey says, MM-HMM?
Panda says, I CAN'T REALLY SEE TO FLY THE SPACESHIP.
Donkey says, OH.
Donkey turns sideways.
[Grunting]
Donkey says, THERE. IS THAT BETTER?
Panda says, UM, YEAH, BUT NOW I CAN'T BUCKLE MY SEAT BELT.
Donkey says, OH.
Panda says, I'M SORRY. IT'S JUST NOT SAFE, DONKEY.
Donkey says, UGH. YOU'RE RIGHT, PANDA-PAL. I NEED MY OWN SEAT.
Duck Duck asks, UH, WOULD YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A SPARE CHAIR, PANDA?
Panda says, NO. I WISH I DID.
Bob Dog asks, NOW WHAT DO WE DO?
Donkey says, I GUESS WE CAN'T GO TO THE PARTY WITH YOU, PANDA.
Duck Duck says, YOU BETTER GO WITHOUT US.
Panda says, OH. BUT I REALLY, REALLY WANTED TO DANCE THE PURPLE POLKA-DOT POLKA WITH ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
Duck Duck says, HMM.
[Panda sighing]
Panda says, I'M SO DISAPPOINTED. I DON'T REALLY THINK I'M IN A PARTYING MOOD ANYMORE.
Donkey says, HUH?
Donkey and Duck Duck say, WHAT?
Bob Dog says, PANDA, WAIT.
Panda leaves the spaceship. His friends follow him outside.
[Footsteps pattering, Panda sighing, door whooshing]
Donkey says, WAIT, PANDA! PANDA, YOU CAN'T MISS THE PARTY.
Piddly says, SQUB-UB.
Panda says, YEAH, BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? OUR IDEAS TO FIT EVERYONE INTO THE SHIP AND GET TO THE PARTY AREN'T WORKING.
[Gentle music plays]
Donkey says, WELL, WHAT WE NEED IS SOMETHING BRAND NEW TO TRY. SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF YET.
Duck Duck says, YEAH, BUT WHAT?
Donkey says, WELL, I'M NOT SURE. THINK, DONKEY HODIE. THINK. HMM.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT PANDA WANTS US ALL TO GO TO PLANET PURPLE FOR A PURPLE POLKA-DOT POLKA PARTY, BUT THERE AREN'T ENOUGH SEATS ON THE SPACESHIP. HMM. HEY! I KNOW SOMETHING BRAND NEW WE CAN TRY.
SINCE WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET US ALL TO PLANET PURPLE, MAYBE WE CAN HAVE A PURPLE POLKA-DOT POLKA PARTY RIGHT HERE IN SOMEPLACE ELSE.
[Duck Duck gasping]
Bob Dog says, BOW-WOWIE!
Donkey says, THEN, AFTER THAT, PANDA, YOU CAN GO TO THE PURPLE POLKA-DOT POLKA PARTY ON PLANET PURPLE.
Panda says, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, DONKEY. HEY-HO! WAIT A MINUTE. BUT THEN YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE THE PURPLE POLKA DOTS HERE. THAT ONLY HAPPENS ON PLANET PURPLE.
Donkey says, WELL, THAT'S OKAY, PANDA-PAL.
Bob Dog says, YEAH. WE'LL HAVE FUN DANCING THE PURPLE POLKA-DOT POLKA WITH YOU, WITHOUT THE PURPLE POLKA DOTS.
Duck Duck says, YEAH, BUT IT'LL HAVE TO BE A REALLY FAST PARTY SO YOU DON'T MISS YOUR OTHER PARTY. COME ON.
Panda says, OKAY.
Bob Dog says, LET'S GO!
Duck Duck says, WE'RE DOING IT.
Purple polka dots hang on strings in Duck Duck’s tree. Bob Dog, Donkey, Piddly, Duck Duck, and Panda dance.
[Accordion music plays]
They sing, PURPLE HOPPING, PURPLE HOPPING SLIDE-SLIDE-SLIDE. PURPLE HOPPING, PURPLE HOPPING SLIDE-SLIDE-SLIDE. PURPLE HOPPING, PURPLE HOPPING SLIDE-SLIDE-SLIDE. PURPLE HOPPING, PURPLE HOPPING SLIDE-SLIDE-SLIDE.
[Slide whistles]
They sing, THE PURPLE-Y FEELING NEVER ENDS…
Duck Duck and Panda sing, IT DOES NOT.
Everyone sings, WHEN YOU'RE DANCING WITH YOUR FRIENDS. THAT'S THE PURPLE POLKA DOT, THAT'S THE PURPLE POLKA DOT, THE PURPLE POLKA DOT POLKA.
Panda cheers, HEY-HO!
[Music stops]
Purple polka dots float around the friends.
[Chiming, gentle music plays]
Bob Dog says, AH.
Duck Duck says, WOW.
Donkey says, POLKA DOTS!
Duck Duck says, OH.
Bob Dog says, ALL AROUND US.
Piddly says, SQUB-UB.
Duck Duck says, WHOA. I THOUGHT THAT ONLY HAPPENED ON PLANET PURPLE.
[Gasping]
Panda says, I THOUGHT SO, TOO. WOW. SO, I GUESS THE PURPLE POLKA DOTS APPEAR WHENEVER YOU DANCE THE PURPLE POLKA-DOT POLKA WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
Duck Duck says, AND I'M SURE GLAD THAT THEY DO.
Panda says, YEAH.
[Panda giggling]
Duck Duck says, OH.
Everyone says, WOW!
Duck Duck says, LOOK AT THAT.
Donkey says, PANDA, SHOULD YOU BE HEADING OFF TO PLANET PURPLE?
Panda says, OH, YEAH. I PROBABLY SHOULD. MY MAMA AND UNCLE ARE WAITING FOR ME.
Donkey says, MM-HMM.
Panda says, BUT I'M SO GLAD THAT WE GOT TO POLKA TOGETHER AND SEE THESE PURPLE POLKA DOTS.
Everyone else says, YEAH. ME, TOO.
Panda says, OKAY. I'LL SEE YOU LATER. BYE.
[Chiming]
Everyone says, BYE, PANDA.
Piddly says, SQUB-UB.
Bob Dog asks, SO, UH, NOW WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
Donkey says, WE SHOULD KEEP THE FUN GOING. DANCE THE PURPLE POLKA-DOT POLKA, EVERYONE.
Duck Duck says, YEAH!
[Accordion music plays]
They sing, PURPLE HOPPING, PURPLE HOPPING SLIDE-SLIDE-SLIDE. PURPLE HOPPING, PURPLE HOPPING SLIDE-SLIDE-SLIDE.
[Slide whistles]
They sing, THE PURPLE-Y FEELING NEVER ENDS…
They say, IT DOES NOT.
Everyone sings, WHEN YOU'RE DANCING WITH YOUR FRIENDS. THAT'S THE PURPLE POLKA DOT, THAT'S THE PURPLE POLKA DOT, THE PURPLE POLKA DOT POLKA.
