Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day/Transcript

Narrator: This could be the room of any small boy, but it just happens to belong to a boy named Christopher Robin. 
Like most small boys Christopher Robin has toy animals to play with, and they had many remarkable adventures in an Enchanted Place called the Hundred Acre Wood. 
And this is where our story begins. 
Now, on this Blustery Day Pooh decided to visit his thoughtful spot.
Pooh: Yes, and on the way I made up a little hum. 
And it hummed something like this: Hum dum dum ditty dum, Hum dum dum,
Oh, the wind is lashing lustily, And the trees are thrashing thrustily, And the leaves are rustling gustily. 
So it's rather safe to say, That it seems that it may turn out to be, It feels that it will undoubtedly. 
It looks like a rather blustery day, today.
It seems that it may turn out to be 
Feels that it will undoubtedly 
Looks like a rather blustery day, today. 
Fortunately, Pooh's thoughtful spot was in a sheltered place. 
Now he sat down and tried hard to think of something. 
Think, think, think, think, think, think. Think, tihnk, think---
[Gopher] Say! What's wrong, sonny? Got yourself a headache? 
No, I was just thinking and wondering.
[Gopher] Is that so? What about? 
I-- Oh bother, you made me forget.
[Gopher] If I was you, I'd think about skiddaddling out of here. 
Why?
[Gopher] 'Cause it's windsday! 
Windsday? 
Oh, I think I shall wish everyone a happy Windsday, and I shall begin with my very dear friend, Piglet. 
[Narrator] Now Piglet lived in the middle of the forest in a very grand house in the middle of a beach tree. 
And Piglet loved it very much.
[Piglet] Phew. (giggling) Yes, oops. 
You see, it's been in the family a long time, and it's belonged to my grandfather. 
That's his name up there, "Trespassers Will''. 
That's short for Trespassers William. 
[Narrator] Trespassers William?
[Piglet] Yes, and Grandma, and she called him T-W. 
That's even shorter.
[Narrator] Yes, and on this blustery day, the wind was giving you a bit of a bug. 
[Piglet] Whee!
Now, you've been here before. 
I don't mind the leaves that are leaving. 
It's the leaves that are coming. 
Whoops.
[Pooh] Happy Windsday, Piglet.
[Piglet] Well, it isn't very happy for me. 
[Pooh] Where're you going Piglet? 
That's what I'm asking myself, where? 
Whoops! POOH!
[Pooh] And what do you think you will answer yourself? 
Oh, I'm unraveling! 
Whoops. 
Oh. 
That was a c-c-c-close one! 
Hang on tight, Piglet! 
Oh dear, oh dear, dear!
[Roo] Look Mama, look! A kite!
[Kanga] Oh my goodness! It's Piglet!
[Pooh] Happy Windsday, Kanga. 
Happy Windsday, Roo!
[Roo] Can I fly Piglet next, Pooh?
[Piglet] Oh dear, oh dear, dear!
[Eeyore] There, that should stand against anything.
[Piglet] Oh help, help! 
Somebody save me!
[Pooh] Happy Windsday, Eeyore!
[Eeyore] Thanks for noticin' me.
[Pooh] Oh, bother.
[Rabbit] What a refreshing day for harvesting.
[Pooh] Happy Windsday, Rabbit!
[Rabbit] Pooh Bear! 
Stop! 
Go back. 
Oh no, oh no, oh no. 
OH, YES! 
Next time, I hope he blows right through my rutabaga patch.
[Owl] Who is it?
[Piglet] It's me. 
Please, may I come in? 
[Owl] Well, I say now. 
Someone has pasted Piglet on my window. 
Well, well, Pooh too! 
This is a surprise. 
Do come in and make yourselves comfortable. 
Am I correct in assuming it is a rather blustery day outside? 
[Piglet] Yes sir, Owl, it's a very, very blustery day, (gulps) outside. 
[Pooh] Oh yes, that reminds me. 
Happy Windsday, Owl! 
My good fellow, I wouldn't go so far as to call it a Windsday, just a gentle spring zephyr. 
Excuse me Owl, but I was just looking and wondering is there honey in that pot? 
Oh yes, yes, of course Pooh, help yourself. 
Now, as I was saying, this is just a mild spring zephyr compared to the big wind of sixty-seven, or was it seventy-six? 
Well, no matter. 
I remember the big blow well. [
Piglet] I'll remember this one too. 
It was the year my Aunt Clara went to visit her cousin. 
Now her cousin was not only gifted on the glockenspiel, but being a screech owl, also sang soprano in the London Opera. 
[Pooh] Thank you Piglet. 
You see her constant practicing so unnerved my aunt that she laid a seagull egg by mistake!
(Owl's Tree crashes to the ground). 
[Piglet] Oh dear, oh dear, dear! 
Well, I say now. Someone has----
Pooh, did you do that? 
I don't think so. 
[Narrator] As soon as Christopher Robin heard of the disaster, he hurried to the scene of Owl's misfortune. 
[Christopher Robin] What a pity! 
Owl, I don't think we'll never be able to fix it. 
[Eeyore] If you ask me, and nobody has I say when a house looks like that, it's time to find another one. 
[Christopher Robin] That's a very good idea, Eeyore. [
Eeyore] I'll take a day or two, but I'll find a new one for him. 
[Owl] Good, that will just give me time to tell you about my Uncle Clyde, a very independent barn owl. 
He didn't give a hoot for tradition, he became an namable pussy cat and went to sea in a beautiful pea-green boat. 
[Narrator] Owl talked from page 41 to page 62, and on page 62 the blustery day turned into a blustery night. 
To Pooh it was a very anxious sort of night, filled with anxious sorts of noises, and one of the noises was a sound that had never been heard before. 
Grrrr. 
Is that you, Piglet? 
Grrrrowl. 
Oh, tell me about it tomorrow. 
Eeyore? 
Grrrrowl. 
Oh, come in, Christopher Robin. 
Now, Pooh, being a bear of very little brain, and he decided to invite the new sound in. 
Hello out there. 
I hope nobody answers. 
Hello, I'm Tigger! 
Oh, you scared me. 
Yeah, sure I did. 
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! 
Everyone is scared of Tiggers. 
Who are you? 
I'm Pooh. 
Oh, Pooh, sure. 
Uh, what's a Pooh? 
You're sitting on one. 
I am? 
Oh, well, glad to meet you! 
My name is Tigger. 
T-I-double-GUH-ER. 
That spells Tigger. 
But what is a Tigger? 
Well, he asked for it.
The wonderful thing about Tiggers 
Is Tiggers are wonderful things 
Their tops are made out of rubber 
Their bottoms are made out of springs 
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN! 
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers 
Is I'm the only one.
I'm the only one (Grrrrrrrr.) 
Then what's that over there? 
Oh, hey, hey, hey, look, look, look! 
What a strange looking creature! 
Hmm, look at those beady little eyes, and that preposterous chin, and even those ricky ticking striped pajamas. 
Looks like another Tigger to me. 
Oh no, it's not. 
I'm the only Tigger! 
Watch me scare the stripes off with this impostor. 
Grrrr! 
Is he gone? 
All except the tail. 
He's gone. 
You can come out now, Tigger. 
Tigger? 
Hello, I'm Tigger! 
You said that. 
Oh, did I say I was hungry? 
I don't think so. 
Oh, then I'll say it. 
I'm hungry. 
Oh, not for honey, I hope. 
Honey! 
Oh, a pot of honey. 
That's what Tigger's like best. 
Oh, I was afraid of that. 
Oh say.
YUCK! 
Tiggers don't like honey! 
But you said that you liked... 
Yeah, that sticky stuff is only fit for Heffalumps and Woozles. 
You mean Elephants and Weasels. 
That's what I said, Heffalumps and Woozles. 
Oh, what do have---an elephant---- 
What do they do? 
Oh, nothing much, just steal honey. 
Steal honey? 
Yeah, you sure do.
Well, I'd better bounce along now, chum. 
Cheerio! 
The wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tiggers are wonderful things
They're tops are made out of rubber, they're bottoms are made out of springs 
They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, 
Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN! 
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers 
Is I'm the only one.
I'm the only one. 
Well, if what Tigger said was true, and there really were Heffalumps and Woozles about, there was only one thing to do; take drastic precautions to protect his precious honey. 
Oh, hello, am I glad to see you? 
It's more friendly with two. 
Now then, you go that way and I'll go this way. 
You didn't see anything yet, did you? 
Neither did I. 
Now the very blustery night turned into a very rainy night. 
And Pooh kept his lonely vigil, hour after hour, after hour, until at last Pooh fell fast asleep and began to dream. 
Tigger (off-screen): Heffalumps and Woozles, 
Heffalumps and Woozles. 
Steal honey! 
Beware, beware! 
They're black, they're brown, they're up,they're down. 
They're in, they're out, they're all about.
They're far, they're near, they're gone, they're here.
They're quick and slick and insincere.
Beware, Beware, Be a very wary bear.
A Heffalump or Woozle is very confusil 
A Heffalump or Woozle's very sly sly - sly - sly 
They come in ones and twosles, but if they so choozles, before your eyes you'll see them multiply ply - ply - ply 
They're extra ordinary so better be wary 
Because they come in every shape and size size - size - size 
If honey is what you covet you'll find that they love it 
Because they guzzle up the thing you prize.
They're green, they're blue, they're pink, they're white. 
They're round, they're square, they're a terrible sight.
They're tie themselves in horrible knots.
They're come in stripes or polka-dots 
Beware, Beware, Be a very wary bear.
{musical interlude} 
They're extra ordinary so better be wary 
Because they come in every shape and size size - size - size 
If honey's what you covet you'll find that they love it 
Because they guzzle up the things you prize 
They're black they're brown they're up their down.
They're in they're out they're all about.
They're far they're near they're gone they're here.
They're quick and slick and insincere.
Beware, Beware, Beware. Beware. Beware! 
[Pooh] Is it raining in there? 
It's raining out here too. 
[Narrator] As a matter of fact it was raining all over the Hundred Acre Wood. 
There was a thunderstorm on page 71, and on page 73 there was a bit of a cloudburst. 
It rained, and it rained, and it rained. 
When the rain rain rain came down down down in rushing rising rivlets 
Till the river crept out of its bed and crept right into Piglet's 
For Piglet he was frightened with quite a rightful fright 
And so in desperation a message he did write 
Help! (Piglet) Me! 
He placed it in a bottle and it floated out of sight
And the rain rain rain came down down down so Piglet started bailing 
He was unaware atop his chair while bailing he was sailing 
And the rain rain rain came down down down and the flood rose up-up-upper 
Pooh, too, was caught, and so he thought, I must rescue my supper. 
Ten honey pots he rescued enough to see him through 
But as he supped up his supper 
The river supped up Pooh 
And the water twirled and tossed him 
In a honey pot canoe....
Rain rain rain came down down down when the rain rain rain came down down down.... (fade) 
[Narrator] So the Hundred Acre Wood got floodier and floodier, but the water couldn't come up to Christopher Robin's house, so that's where everyone was gathering. 
It was a time of great excitement. 
But in the midst of all excitement Eeyore stubbornly stuck to his task of house hunting for Owl. 
[Eeyore] There is one. 
Cozy cottage. 
Nice location. 
Bit damp for Owl though. 
Meanwhile, little Roo made an important discovery. 
[Roo] Look! 
I've rescued a bottle! 
And it's got something in it too! 
[Christopher Robin] It's a message! 
And it says: "Help! (Piglet) ME!" 
Owl, you fly over to Piglet's house, and tell him we'll make a rescue. 
A rescue?! 
Yes, yes, of course, of course. 
So Owl flew out over the flood and he soon spotted two tiny objects below him. 
One was little Piglet caught in the whirlpool, and the other was Pooh trying to get the last bit of honey from the pot. 
[Pooh] Yum, yum. 
[Piglet] Oh, Owl, I don't need to complain... but I'm afraid, I'm scared. 
[Owl] Now, now Piglet, chin up and all that sort of thing. 
A rescue is being thought of. 
Be brave, little Piglet! 
[Piglet] It's awfully hard to be brave when you're such a small animal. 
[Owl] Then to divert your small mind from your unfortunate predicament I should tell you an amusing antidote. It concerns a distant cousin of mine who became so frightened during a flood that he... 
Piglet: I beg your pardon Owl, but I think we're coming to a very big waterfall. 
[Owl] Please, no interruptions. Ah, there you are, Pooh Bear. Now, to continue my story.... 
[Christopher Robin] Look! 
There's Pooh! 
Over here, Pooh! 
Oh, hello Christopher Robin. 
Pooh, thank goodness you're safe. 
Have you seen Piglet? 
Excuse me, I have. 
What I mean is, here I am. 
Pooh! 
You rescued Piglet!
I did ? 
Yes. 
And it was a very brave thing to do. 
It was? 
You're our hero! 
I am? 
Yes, and as soon as the flood is over. 
I shall give you a hero party! 
(Hooray's from everyone!) 
[Christopher Robin] Attention everyone! 
Now this party is a hero party, because of what someone did. 
And that someone is... 
[Eeyore] I found it. 
[Christopher Robin] Found what, Eeyore? 
[Eeyore] House for Owl. 
[Owl] I say Eeyore, good show. 
[Piglet] Oh, isn't that wonderful? 
But where is it, Eeyore? 
[Eeyore] If you want to follow me, I'll show it to you. 
So everyone followed Eeyore. 
Then to the surprise of all, Eeyore stopped right in front of... 
[Rabbit] Piglet's house. 
[Christopher Robin] Why are you stopping here Eeyore? 
[Eeyore] This is it. 
Owl's new house. 
[Rabbit] Oh dear. 
Mercy me. 
[Piglet] Oh dear. 
Mercy me too. 
Eeyore (off-screen): The name's on it and everything. 
W-O-L. 
That spells Owl. 
[Owl] Bless my soul. 
So it does! 
[Eeyore] Well, what do you think of it? 
[Christopher Robin] It's a nice house Eeyore, but... 
[Kanga] It's a lovely house Eeyore, but... 
[Piglet] It's the best house in the whole world. 
[Pooh] Tell them, it's your house, Piglet. 
No, Pooh. 
This house belongs to our very good friend, Owl.
[Rabbit] But Piglet! 
Where will you live? 
Well, I guess I shall live,
I suppose I shall live.....
[Pooh] With me! 
You shall live with me! 
Won't you Piglet? 
With you? 
Oh, thank you Pooh Bear.
Of course I will.
[Christopher Robin] Piglet, that was a very grand thing to do.
[Rabbit] A heroic thing to do.
[Pooh] Christopher Robin, can you make a one hero party into a two hero party?
[Christopher Robin] Of course, we can. 
Silly old bear. 
And so, Pooh was a hero for saving Piglet, and Piglet was a hero for giving Owl his grand home in the beach tree. 
We never will forget, our hero of the wet. our quick thinking, unsinking, Pooh Bear.
Tigger: Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-Hoo!
All: And Piglet, who indeed, helped out a friend in need, a truly they're the heroes of the day.
So we say, Hip Hip Hooray for the Piglet and the Pooh, Piglet and Pooh----
[Gopher] What's all that stomping and singing and silly shenanigans? Ahhhh!
--------and generosity. 
Hip Hip Hooray! 
Hip Hip Hooray! 
Hip Hip Hooray for Winnie the Pooh!
[Piglet] And Piglet, too.
