## Transcript

(Thunderclap)

**Tigger**: Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! It was nice of Christopher Robin to let us use his fun stuff while he's gone.

**Rabbit**: Yes, and it's too bad we're not having any fun.

**Piglet**: Oh, d-d-dear!

**Tigger**: Fellow Piglet! Did you find something to do?

**Piglet**: Oh, hello Tigger. I was just...

**Tigger**: No-no... don't tell me. Hmm. I've got it. You was hidin 'n' seekin' and I seeked ya. I won and I didn't even know I was playin'. Hoo-hoo.

**Piglet**: I wasn't really hiding, Tigger. You see the thunder...

**Tigger**: I'll say you wasn't hidin'. Here. Let me show you how. The only things Tiggers do better than seekin' is hidin'. There! Hoo! Now, I'll never find you, Piglet!

**Pooh**: Why... I believe Piglet's right here, Tigger.

**Eeyore**: Well, that was exciting. What we'll do now?

**Tigger**: There's all sorts of fun hidin' around this house. All we've gotta do is seek it.

**Rabbit**: And where, Pry Tail, are we supposed to start seeking?

**Tigger**: Say, Pooh Boy, you've seeked Piglet pretty good, so where do we go to seek out some fun?

**Pooh**: Hmm... well, it seems to me that we certainly can't seek out. Because out is so very wet it has to be out of the question.

**Tigger**: So, what's up, Pooh Boy?

**Pooh**: Uhm... up!

**Piglet**: Oh, dear! Isn't up closer to the thunder?

**Eeyore**: If you ask me, not that anybody is, Pooh means we might find something fun to do up in the attic.

**Piglet**: The attic, yikes! Isn't that the dark scary place where things do and are never seen again?

**Rabbit**: Don't be silly, Piglet. Attic're where things are stored for rainy day.

**Piglet**: Yeow!

**Pooh**: And that's today!

**Rabbit**: There's nothing to be frightened of, Piglet. Attics are full of awfully interesting things.

**Pooh**: I think it's the "awfully" part that worries him, Rabbit.

**Eeyore**: To make a long story short. Oh-oh.

**Tigger**: Hoo! We're gonna have fun just gettin' there.

**Piglet**: We are?

**Tigger**: Sure. We might even run into some spookables!

**Piglet**: Oh, d-d-d-dear! Spookables.

**Rabbit**: Don't be ridiculous, Tigger. There's absolutely nothing to fear... especially with Pooh leading the way.

(All) Pooh?

**Pooh**: Yes?

**Rabbit**: Yes, indeed. Pooh is, as Tigger pointed out, the best ever set seeker. It's only fair, you should have the honor of going first.

**Piglet**: Oh, are you eager to go first, Pooh?

**Pooh**: Yes, Piglet. It seems that I am... very slowly.

**Eeyore**: I'm glad no one thought about donkeys going first.

**Rabbit**: You go right ahead, Pooh.

(Door Closes)

**Rabbit**: My, that was close!

**Piglet**: Ohh, it's awfully dark in here.

**Tigger**: Don't worry, little Piglet, nothing can get us here.

**Eeyore**: Unless it got in here first.

(Thunderstorm Clouds)

**Rabbit**: Oh, my goodness gracious!

(All Screams)

**Pooh**: It appears this step is safe. (Chuckles) But noisy. Shall I go on? Rabbit! Tigger!

**Rabbit**: Faster!

(Door Closes Again)

**Rabbit**: That was close. Now we shouldn't have nothing to worry about.

(Door Knocking)

**Tigger**: If we're so safe, why is my heart still k-k-knocking?

**Rabbit**: That's not your heart knocking, it's... it's, ohh, oh my!

**Eeyore**: Somebody or something at the door.

**Tigger**: That's a relief. Hoo-hoo! For a second there I thought we were in trouble.

**Rabbit**: Tigger, no!

**Piglet**: Oh, d-d-dear!

(Gasps)

**Pooh**: Hello, everyone. Have I missed anything fun? (Chuckles)

**Piglet**: Oh, Pooh Bear.

**Eeyore**: Now that we're all here, what are we gonna do about it?

**Rabbit**: We're going to have some fun it it's the last thing we do.

**Tigger**: So, let's get busy and find some fun.

**Piglet**: If no one minds, I'll just wait here. Fun can be too much for very small animals. Which I'm one.

**Tigger**: Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo. Dummy's comin' through.

(Piglet Screams)

**Tigger**: Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

**Piglet**: Oh, dear! I'm trapped.

**Tigger**: Say, this thing is kinda hard to steer.

**Piglet**: Help!

(Crash)

**Rabbit**: Are you alright?

**Tigger**: I'm fine, but I can't find Piglet.

**Pooh**: You've found him, Tigger. You just didn't know it.

**Tigger**: What do ya know. Hoo-hoo! I was using my head the whole time. And I didn't feel a thing.

**Pooh**: And Piglet's found a friend.

**Tigger**: Say, there's a whole gang of little guys.

**Eeyore**: I think Piglet's found more than friends. He's discovered the way to spend our rainy afternoon.

**Pooh**: Congratulations. Piglet. I was sure you had it in you. Or perhaps I should say "had it on you." (Chuckles)

**Rabbit**: Chess is a wonderful game for a rainy day. But some of the pieces are missing.

**Tigger**: Yeah? Which ones?

**Rabbit**: Uh, which ones? Well, the magician is not here. And there's no bishop.

**Tigger**: Say, the bis-hop sounds like my kind of guy. Hoo-hoo.

**Rabbit**: And the knight is missing. A very important piece.

**Pooh**: Is there any way of un-missing them?

**Rabbit**: Well, I suppose we could look for them...

**Piglet**: Oh, you mean search the whole dark spooky attic?

**Tigger**: That's the idea, Piglet! We'll make an adventure out of it.

**Piglet**: Oh, good.

**Rabbit**: We'll split up and meet back here. Tigger, you look over there. Pooh, you go that way. Eeyore, you look over there and Piglet...

**Piglet**: Yes?

**Rabbit**: You'll go looking that old trunk for the missing knight.

**Piglet**: Oh, dear!

**Rabbit**: Alright, lets' get cracking. The sooner we start, the sooner we finish.

**Piglet**: Unless we don't start at all.

**Rabbit**: Didn't anyone find anything?

**Eeyore**: I found this.

**Rabbit**: Eeyore, there aren't any dragons in the game of chess.

**Eeyore**: I suppose it all depends on the way you wanna play it.

**Rabbit**: Well, we can only hope Piglet found something.

**Eeyore**: I don't think he did.

**Pooh**: Why do you think at, Eeyore?

**Eeyore**: Because I just found Piglet.

**Pooh**: Hello, Piglet.

**Piglet**: Hello, Pooh. No missing knights under here. (Chuckles)

**Tigger**: Then there's no way we could play chess.

**Pooh**: Unless...

**Rabbit**: There's no unless, Pooh. How can we play with missing pieces?

**Pooh**: By playing the missing pieces.

**Tigger**: Are my ears on too tight or is fluff-boy makin' sense?

**Pooh**: And Piglet would play the missing knight.

**Piglet**: Me? But why?

**Tigger**: Because you are what you can't find. Hoo-hoo-hoo! Come on, Piglet. Let see what we can find for very sall k-night. Now, that's what I call a k-night to remember.

**Pooh**: And all dressed up for a midnight smackerel.

**Rabbit**: Now let's hurry and get ready so we can get on with the game.

**Eeyore**: If you don't mind, we'll just sit here and tell each other what time it isn't.

**Piglet**: I can't be a knight. Knights are large, and strong, and b-b-brave. I'm just a very small piglet who hides under tables. I must find a knight. Oh, dear!

**Rabbit**: Well, are we all ready?

**Pooh**: As soon as we find our knight. Piglet! Where are you?

**Piglet**: Oh, dear, there's no one here. Now I'll have to play the knight.

**Tigger**: Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! K-night, come out come out wherever you are!

**Piglet**: Here I am, Tigger, wait for me. Oh-oh. Where am I?

**Tigger**: There you are, you sneaky little k-night. Hoo-hoo! I knew I'd find you.

**Piglet**: Tigger, what's happened?

**Tigger**: Tiggers! Where are they? Better still, what are they?

**Piglet**: Why, they... I mean, it's you.

**Tigger**: It is?

**Piglet**: Oh, yes. You're the one and only Tigger.

**Tigger**: I like the sound of that, but I'm not Tigger. I'm the Bishop of Bounce.

(Tigger Bouncing)

**Tigger**: See?

**Piglet**: Yikes!

**Tigger**: But you can call me Tigger, if you want to. It is a pretty spiffy name after all, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo. And you, little k-night, are just what I'm looking for.

**Piglet**: I am?

**Tigger**: In fact, the whole kingdom's been lookin' for ya.

**Piglet**: I'm probably not gonna like the aswer to this, but I simply must ask: Why me?

**Tigger**: How are we supposed to fight the dragon without a k-night in shiny armor?

**Piglet**: Dragon? Oh, dear! You want me to fight a what?

(Dragon Distressed)

**Tigger**: A one of them, a dreadful dragon.

**Piglet**: (Chuckles) I really don't think I can fight a dreadful dragon.

**Tigger**: You're a k-night, aren't ya?

**Piglet**: Oh no, not at all.

**Tigger**: That's shiny armor you're wearin', isn't it?

**Piglet**: Well, yes but...

**Tigger**: Then come on! I've been lookin' for a k-night like you whole day. Hoo-hoo!

(Crash)

**Rabbit**: You dare bounce a great wizard? Do you want me to turn you into a snail?

**Tigger**: Yeah, yeah. Hoo-hoo! But later. I got to get this k-night to his Royal Kingness.

**Rabbit**: Must be spring. The knights are getting shorter. Before the... interruption I was about to conjure up one myself. So if you excuse me... Oh, great hoaxes and mighty what not hear my magic words. Pile of potato, field of corn...

**Tigger**: Say, not half bad, not even a quarter bad.

**Rabbit**: carrot cake, can of vegetables stew bring us a knight who fights dragons, too.

(Puff)

**Rabbit**: Well, ribbit... where's the knight? Where is he? Oh no, oh my, I'm a frog! A frog! Ribbit. What went wrong?

**Tigger**: See around a lily pond, oh great wizard. Come on, k-night, I've gotta get you to his Royal Poohness, the King of all Chessland.

**Piglet**: King who?

**Tigger**: King Pooh, that's who. Hoo-hoo-hoo.

(Pooh Snoring)

**Tigger**: Greetings, you Royal Royaltiness.

**Pooh**: Oh, is lunch served?

**Tigger**: No, you most lonely highness. I bring you good news. I bring you one dragon slayer to go!

**Pooh**: How very nice. You've come to fight the dragon who's been such a bother to us all?

**Piglet**: Well, uhm, no... actually, I was just passing through and...

(Dragon Distressed)

**Piglet**: Oh my, would you look at the time, I really must be going. If I'm not back soon, start the dragon fight without me.

**Gopher**: Eh, can't go slayin' dragons dressed like that. Not no, sir. That won't do. Yep, I can see possibilities here.

**Piglet**: Oh, I don't know about this.

**Gopher**: That's one top of a line dragon fightn' outfit. Notice the quality fabric. The lowecut hemline. All the rage and scare.

**Tigger**: It's you, k-night Piglet, it's you. Just look at how that shiny silveriness sets off your eyes.

**Rabbit**: No! No-no-no! You dare swat a wizard? Hmm, the nerve!

**Gopher**: Hmm, this set of armor is missin' something.

**Piglet**: Perhaps someone else to wear it?

**Gopher**: Jump and craw daddies, I know! What you need is a shield.

**Rabbit**: A shield is all well and good, but to fight a dragon, he needs a magic shield.

**Piglet**: If you'll excuse me, I really do have to be somewhere.

**Pooh**: Somewhere where?

**Piglet**: Somewhere else?

**Gopher**: Hmm, OK, a magic shield, but no chartreuse, I simply will not touch chartreuse. By dingy, a shield as good as this don't need any magic mambo jambo.

**Rabbit**: Hmm, without my magic it's just a silly pile of metal.

**Gopher**: I'm the shield expert around here.

**Rabbit**: And I'm the wiz at Wizardry.

**Piglet**: Oh, keep telling yourself Piglet: "It's just a dream, it's just a dream."

**Tigger**: Don't look now, but we're short one short k-night. Here boy, here knighty k-night.

**Pooh**: Why, I do believe I see a knight now and he's crawling toward the door.

**Piglet**: It's just a dream, it's just a dream.

**Tigger**: Look how bad he wants to fight that dreadful dragon.

**Piglet**: If you'll excuse me, I think my horse is double parked.

**Gopher**: E-e-e. Doesn't seem too likely, since the horses haven't been invented yet.

(Dragon Distressed)

**Pooh**: Perhaps you might save my kingdom, while there is still a kingdom to save?

**Rabbit**: First, I must cast the magic spell to make your shield unbreakable. Halakazam and halabaloo, make this shield strong, as ten shields times two. Uh, some days it doesn't pay to get out of the nest.

(Dragon Distressed)

**Tigger**: Hurry, you k-nightiness. We're runnin' out of time. Not to mention castles.

**Rabbit**: No, no, no. I have one last spell. The most powerful spell ot all. It will turn you into the largest, most heroic knight ever. However...

**Piglet**: Dear...

**Rabbit**: ...this spell will only work once, so do not use it until you absolutely must. You simply repeat these words: Magnificent magic, most mysterious, make meek me make a monster into mozzarella marmalade. What is going wrong with thse spells?

**Pooh**: Oh, don't feel badly, I can't spell very well, either.

(Dragon Distressed)

**Piglet**: Magnificent m-m-magic, m-m-most mysterious, oh my. I'm just going to have to put my very small foot down and say: I'm not a real knight and so I cannot fight your dragon. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is. Everyone, there's something I must say.

**Pooh**: Yes, and so you shall, as soon as we've said what we must say.

**Rabbit**: You're our only hope!

**Gopher**: You've gotta save us!

**Tigger**: If you don't make marmalade out of that monster, we'll be in a real jam.

**Pooh**: And when you come back, I'll be happy to name you "The knight to remember." And now, what did you have to say?

**Piglet**: Ah... which way to the dragon?

(All) That way!

**Piglet**: Very well. I'll do it. It'll be an honor to fight the dragon and save the kingdom.

(Door Closes)

(Dragon Distressed)

**Piglet**: Marvelous m-m-music, make me meek as marmalade. Oh dear. I hope that dragon doesn't mind my dropping in like this.

(Drilling)

**Piglet**: Oh, he must be away on a visit, I'll come back later.

(Dragon Distressed)

**Piglet**: Oh, d-d-dear! Macaroni marmalade, uh, mocking bird milk shake... This isn't so very terrible. Could use a few curtains and maybe some flowers.

(Dragon Distressed)

**Piglet**: I must remember I'm a b-b-brave and f-f-fearless knight.

(Dragon Distressed Again)

**Piglet**: It's up to m-m-me to save the kingdom. Yikes! Help! You have nothing at all to f-f-fear, Piglet. Not with your m-m-magic shield which cannot be b-b-broken.

(Dragon Distressed)

**Piglet**: I suppose I really should expect this from a wizard who turns himself into frogs. M-m-magnificent m-m-mustard m-m-mismatch m-m-mushrooms m-m-moonstruck m-m-miracles... Magnificent magic, most mysterious, make meek me make a monster into mozzarella marmalade. Oh no, it didn't work. I'm still me.

**Eeyore**: Worked for one of us, anyway.

**Piglet**: Who are you?

**Eeyore**: Formerly Eeyore the Dragon, now just plain old Eeyore.

**Piglet**: You're the dragon?

**Eeyore**: Was. Got myself turned into one last week. That's the trouble with this place, never know what you're gonna get turned into. Eternally grateful. Don't suppose I'll ever be able to repay you.

**Piglet**: I believe I may know a way.

(Trumpet Knight)

**Pooh**: Brave Piglet, who rescued us from the dragon and saved the kingdom and all before lunch. I name you, before I forget, "The Knight to Remember."

**Piglet**: Oh, it's all in the knight's work.

**Pooh**: And now, Knight Piglet, is there anything we can do for you?

**Piglet**: Well...

**Pooh**: To grant the wish of knight to remember, Piglet, the knight to remember is now Eeyore.

**Eeyore**: Words fail me.

**Piglet**: (Chuckles) If you'll excuse me, I really must get back to my trunk.

**Pooh**: Good bye, knight.

**Tigger**: Good Night, k-night. Here, Piglet Piglet. Here Piglet Piglet.

**Rabbit**: Piglet, where are you?

**Tigger**: Why you're hidin' yourself in there?

**Piglet**: Oh, but I was hiding, I was...

**Rabbit**: It's only a bit of rainstorm.

**Eeyore**: Nothing to be too scared of.

**Piglet**: Uh, I'm not. I was just...

**Pooh**: Was it perhaps, Piglet, that you're too timid to be our knight?

**Piglet**: Well, yes Pooh, (Chuckles) I was. But I'm not anymore.

**Rabbit**: Then come along everyone, let's finish this chess game.
