Boots and Patrick Count Friends/Transcript

## Scene 1

**Patrick:** This is going to be great Boots.

**Boots:** Wow.

**Patrick:** Hey, look who's here!

**Boots:** Hi. Guess what. Patrick had found something exciting for us to do today.

**Patrick:** That's right. Today is "Count on Your Friends" Day!

**Boots and Patrick:** Yay!

**Boots:** Uh, Patrick?

**Patrick:** Yes, Boots?

**Boots:** What exactly is "Count on Your Friends" Day?

**Patrick:** Well, it's the day where we literally count as many friends we can see. It's easy. When we see a friend, we shout "Friend!" and we add it our inventory.

**Boots:** Oh, I get it. When do we start?

**Patrick:** Right now. Friend!

**Boots:** Where?

**Patrick:** Right here. It's you, Boots.

**Boots:** Oh, yeah. I am a friend.

**Patrick:** Now, I will count you in. 1.

**Boots:** Wow. I'm friend number 1. I wonder what other friend we'll see.

**Patrick:** Hey, over here! Boots! Boots!

**Boots:** I don't see a friend here.

**Patrick:** Look at me! Look at me!

## Scene 2

**Boots:** Let's see. I'm number 1 and now we need to find who's number 2.

**Partick:** Boots! Over here!

**Bob:** Excuse me Boots but I think Patrick is number 2.

**Patrick:** Phew! Thank you, Bob.

**Boots:** Oh, you wanted me to count you Patrick because you're a friend.

**Patrick:** Yeah, it would've been nice.

**Boots:** You see, Bob. It's "Count on Your Friends" Day. Would you like to join us? You can be friend number 3.

**Bob:** Hahaha. Of course I will. But I was hoping you'd sing Bob's Brass Band with me. I got my trumpet with me.

**Boots:** Uh, I know about that.

**Patrick:** Yes, Bob. We would love to sing that song with you, but why?

**Bob:** Because whenever our friends hear that song, they'll want to join us.

**Patrick:** I think you've got a point there Bob. Strike up the band, and they will come.

**Boots:** Let's do it, I've got my maracas,

**Patrick:** And I've got my belly as a bass drum.

**Bob:** Okay, are you ready to sing with us?

**Kid viewer voice:** Yeah!

**Bob:** Great! Here we go!

Bob plays the beginning part of the song with his trumpet, Boots and Patrick join in with their instruments and they sing the first chorus of the song. SpongeBob arrives singing the last lyric with them.

**Boots, Patrick and Bob:** Friend!

**SpongeBob:** Hey, what are you doing?

**Patrick:** Hi SpongeBob, today is "Count on Your Friends" Day.

**SpongeBob:** Oh, I love counting friends. Let's see, there's 1, 2, 3 and me, which makes 4.

**Boots:** Let's see if we can find more. Look, there's Dora.

**Boots, Patrick, Bob and SpongeBob:** Friend!

**SpongeBob:** That makes 5 or cinco as what she would say. Hola, Dora.

**Dora:** Hola.

**Patrick:** I didn't know she can play the flute.

## Scene 3

**Boots:** Hey. I'm gonna find some more friends all by myself. Watch. Look, there's Little Bear. Let's count him in. Friend!

**Little Bear:** What? I am your friend, right?

**Boots:** Yes, you see Little Bear, it's "Count on Your Friends" Day and we're counting as many friends we can find.

**Little Bear:** Oh, I see. And I'm one of your friends. Can I join in?

**Boots:** Sure. Then that makes 6 friends we found so far.

**Oswald:** Hello.

**Blue:** Bark.

**Little Bear:** Friends! I spotted two more that went by.

**Boots:** Aw, I was going to do that.

**Little Bear:** That's okay, Boots. How many friends did you say you counted so far?

**Boots:** 6. That also includes you.

**Little Bear:** Then add two more and that makes...

**Boots:** Hm, 6 friends + 2 more friends = Uh, you try it. I'm not very good at math.

**Little Bear:** Hey, maybe you can help Boots. There are 6 friends, including me. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Then you add our friend Oswald and that makes...

**Kid Viewer Voice:** 7.

**Little Bear:** Yeah. 7. And if you add one more friend, Blue, you get...

**Kid Viewer Voice:** 8.

**Little Bear:** Yep. 8 friends altogether.

**Boots:** I get it now. Thanks for helping me. You are very good at counting friends Little Bear.

**Little Bear:** You too, my friend.

**Little Bear:** And I counted them.

**Patrick:** Wow. So that means we're all the way up to... 8! I can't believe how well "Count on Your Friends" Day is going!

**SpongeBob:** Me too.

**Patrick:** Well, there's a bumble bee, an ant and a butterfly.

**Boots:** A spider, a dragonfly and a ladybug.

**Little Bill:** A bugga bugga.

**SpongeBob:** But no friends.

**Little Bill:** You know, if we sing about it, friends are sure to show up.
