The Bad And The Goo'd/Transcript

## Surprise me. But something like me. You know me.

### Note

I haven't changed the names of some of the characters. It's supposed to be Will instead of Will.

Will: *It started as a normal day. But once I found him, nothing was ever the same.* Hey, Jake!

Jake: Hey, Will. So, how should we celebrate your birthday?

Will: Normally. Don’t go all out and give me something weird.

Jake: What can I say?

Will: Yeah, but gifts go to *me*, not *you*.

Jake: True. So, whatcha want?

Will: Surprise me. But something like me. You know me.

Jake: Okay.

Will: Alright, see you soon!

Jake: Wait, I got an idea. [Pulls Will by the arm behind a wall] Here’s the idea. We skip school and have some fun in town.

Will: Eh…

Jake: This is your 11th birthday. We only get one of these.

Will: You get *every* birthday once.

Jake: Listen. We’re skipping school. Now. [Squints]

Will: (Shaken) Well, I guess I could. (Whispers) Even though I don’t wanna.

Jake: Wooh! Let’s go! [Runs away from school]

Will: *While I was running, I felt something weird under my foot.* [Squish] Huh? [Sees rock where he stepped]

Jake: Will, are you thinking about ditching this?

Will: No, I heard a squishing sound, but nothing would make a squishing sound behind me. [Checks foot]

Goo: Hello! My name is Goo.

Will: (Screams)

Jake: What is it, Will?

Goo: Oops. Did I scare you? Sorry if I did.

Will: You kinda did. *That led me to questions. “What was he doing here?” “Why did he come to me?” “Was he wanting to come home with me?”* This is… weird.

Jake: Who said their name is Goo?

Will: [Lifts up foot] He’s right here.

Goo: Hello.

Jake: [Eyes expand] Am I seeing this right? A talking blob of goo?

Goo: That’s a way of describing me.

Will: What do you want?

Goo: I don’t know. After all my Goo friends left me, I wandered about, and you squished me. I was wondering why you did that.

Will: I didn’t mean it. [Pulls off foot] We should go, or we’re gonna get caught and probably in trouble. [Runs with Jake]

Scene cuts to street

Will: [Skids to a stop with Jake] We should be good now. So, what do you wanna do? Also, do you have any enemies that are coming for you?

Goo: Hmm… I’m not sure I do have an enemy. I also have no idea what to do.

Will: What’d you do back with your old friends?

Goo: We did some swimming, played cards, and watched the sunset.

Jake: That seems short.

Goo: We did other things, but those are my favorites.

Will: That’s a good list of fun activities, though. The pool’s not frozen, so we can go swim. We got some cards back home, and we can sit outside and watch.

Goo: Great! I didn’t know you had all these things!

Will: It’s regular human things. Let’s go get our swimmin’ on!

Scene cuts to the pool

Will: [Walks up to the pool] You have a pool this big?

Goo: Never! Also, we had to get reservations just to get *into* the pool and not be it.

Jake: You had to *be* the pool?

Goo: We only get natural water, so we have to be the pool. We can be water. [Morphs into the water, spills out of Will’s hand, morphs into base self] See?

Will: Yikes. Well, nobody’s here, and it’s not made by a reservation.

Goo: (Gasps) YES!

Will: Hop in! [Cannonballs into the pool with Goo]

Goo: [Swims up] Woo-hoo! This is great! [Swims around]

Jake: Let’s play a game of Hide-and-seek! Will, you’re it. The player last found is the new seeker.

Will: Alright. Here goes. [Turns around, notices water snake] Huh?

Jake: Go hide somewhere. [Swims downwards]

Goo: Ooh, I got an idea. [Morphs into the water, face floats away]

Will: [Backs up] This isn’t good. [Water snake grabs Will by the tail] (Screams)

Jake: [Swims upwards] That didn’t sound fine. [Looks around, notices Will strangled by water snake] Oh no, you don’t! Goo! Emergency!

Goo: Got it! [Morphs into a slingshot, Jake shoots rock, water snake releases grip on Will] Take that, you slippery savage!

Jake: Wow, you’re not kidding when you say you can morph into anything! [Water snake swims away] Yeah, swim while you still can!

Goo: What would we have done if he stayed?

Jake: You transform into something I can whack it with.

Goo: Oh, yeah. Well, time to continue playing Hide-and-seek.

Will: [Turns away] 1, 2, 3, 4…

Goo: [Morphs into the water, face floats away, Jake swims downwards]

Will: … 9, 10! Time to find you! [Turns around]

Scene cuts to the backyard of Will’s house, sunset

Will: Hmm… [Looks back and forth, plays card] 4.

Jake: I have a 6. [Plays card]

Goo: [Plays card] Ace.

Will: Dang it! [Throws cards down]

Jake: And I was so close!

Goo: Still got it. [Notices sunset] Guys, the sunset is happening!

Will: [Wind blows] Oh, that feels great.

Jake: So calming. [Sits in chair]

Will: [Sits in the chair next to Jake] Yeah, it is.

Goo: (Snoring)
