A 5, 6, 7, 8.

>>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.

>>Gerald: Fruits! We had to be fruits!

Why couldn't we be in the bread group?
Or beverages?

I could have been a cream soda.
>>Arnold: Yeah well, we're fruits.

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

This strawberry really chafes.

do this for Helga.
>>Gerald: I know! It's not fair.

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

[rattling]
>>Arnold: Unless what?

>>Gerald: Let's just say we forgot to pull
that cord and we didn't get off

at this stop or the next stop or the next!
[whispers] Hey! By the time we get back

home, the play will be over.
>>Arnold: No, we couldn't do that.

It would ruin the play.

>>Helga: People! People! [claps]

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.

>>Kid: Legumes? I prefer beans.
>>Helga: Hey! You aren't, genius!

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

They never showed up.

>>Gerald: No.
>>Arnold: Hey, how far does this bus go,

anyway?
>>Gerald: What difference does it make?

When it gets to the end of the line,
we'll just ride it back again.

Journey is the destination, man.
>>Arnold: What's that mean?

a hippie movie.
