Panda puts his scooter down.
Panda says, AW, DONKEY. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE AFRAID TO RIDE YOUR SCOOTER. WE CAN JUST DO SOMETHING ELSE.
Donkey says, OH, I DON'T WANNA DO SOMETHING ELSE. I WANNA SCOOTER WITH YOU.
[Donkey sighing]
Panda says, YOU SURE?
[Upbeat music plays]
Donkey says, YEAH. I DON'T WANNA LET FEAR STOP MY FUN. I JUST NEED TO FIND A WAY TO FEEL SAFE SO I CAN TRY AGAIN.
Panda says, WELL, DONKEY, I CAN HELP YOU FEEL SAFE.
Donkey asks, YOU CAN?
Panda says, YEAH! I'LL JUST WALK RIGHT NEXT TO YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T FALL OFF. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FALLING AND HURTING YOURSELF.
Donkey says, OH, PANDA! THAT WOULD BE HEE-HAW-SOME. LET'S TRY IT!
Panda says, OKAY, OKAY. BUT LET'S START SLOWLY UNTIL YOU FEEL LESS SCARED AND MORE CONFIDENT.
Donkey nods.
Donkey says, OKAY. THANKS, PANDA.
Panda says, MM-HM.
Donkey says, LET ME TRY TO START MOVING SLOWLY.

Donkey says, MM. OKAY. YEAH.
Panda says, NICE.
Donkey says, MM-HM.
Donkey says, MM-HM. YEAH. OKAY, THIS IS SLOW.
Panda says, YEAH.
[Upbeat music plays]
Donkey says, OH, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO SCOOT SINCE I FELL, BUT, NOW THAT YOU'RE HERE, I'M... I'M FEELING SAFER. I THINK THIS IS WORKING.
Panda says, OH, GOOD! LOOKIN' GOOD, DONKEY! LOOKIN' GOOD, AND SLOW, AND WORKING.
[Both chuckling]

Panda says, OKAY.
[Wheels rattling]
Donkey rides the scooter around Panda.
Donkey says, MM. OKAY. YEAH. UH-HUH. OKAY, DONKEY, YOU ARE SAFE. YOU CAN DO THIS. MM-HM. YOUR FRIEND IS WITH YOU TO HELP YOU FEEL SAFE.
