>>Helga: Not so fast.
>>Harold: Come on, Helga.
We know our lines.
>>Helga: Know your lines?
Of course you know your lines.
But I don't want to just hear your lines.
I want to hear what's in your soul!
>>Curly: Do vegetables have souls?
>>Helga: That audience expects food with
feelings and that's what we're going to
give them. Iggy! What's your motivation?
Iggy: I don't know. I'm a utensil.
Helga: Stinky! What's in your character's
guts?
[thud]
>>Helga: I thought so.
You guys all bite. Okay! Here's the deal,
I want every kid here a half an hour early
so we can do another run-through.
If anybody is late, they're going to
have to answer to Old Betsy.

Why couldn't we be in the bread group?
Or beverages?
I could have been a cream soda.

And let's hurry! We'll miss the bus!

This strawberry really chafes.

But there's nothing we can do about it.
Nothing! Unless. . .

that cord and we didn't get off

It would ruin the play.

Now remember, a play has a life
of its own. It's got to breathe.
Every food group must build upon
the group before it. First, the legumes.

Then, the meats, lusty and powerful.
Then the fruits. They're. . .

When it gets to the end of the line,

Journey is the destination, man.
