TAYO

A picnic? Whoopee! Sounds like fun! Can I go?

Don’t you have to work? It’s my day off today.

TAYO

Whew.

Hi, Tayo.

TAYO

Hi, Toto.

TOTO

Is something wrong?

TAYO

No, I’m okay.

TOTO

Then why do you look so down?

TAYO

Well...

I want to go on a picnic.

TOTO

A picnic?

TAYO

Uh-huh. Rogi went on a picnic today.

SPEEDY (OFF)

Then you should go too.

TAYO/TOTO (Overlaps)

Huh?

TAYO/TOTO

Speedy!

SPEEDY

What’s the problem? Go if you want to.

TAYO

But… I have to work today.

SPEEDY

Then how about tomorrow? It’ll be fun with the three of us!

TOTO

Sounds good. It’s my day off tomorrow.

SPEEDY

Oh? Wow, awesome! What about you?

TAYO

Me? I don’t think I can. (Sighs/Overlaps) Ugh… Whew…

NA (Overlaps)

Tayo wants to go with them, but he has work tomorrow.

SPEEDY

Too bad. Toto and I’ll have to go without you.

TAYO

(Hesitates/Overlaps) Uh… Um.

TOTO

(Sounding sorry) It would be nice if you could come.

SPEEDY

Toto. I’ll see you in front of the museum at 12.

TOTO (Overlaps)

Hmm. He-he. (Smiling) Okay, got it.

Where do you want to go tomorrow?

(M) I want to go tomorrow too. Whew…

Ho hum. (Yawning) I’m sleepy.

LANI

He-he. It’s time for bed now.

ROGI (Overlaps)

TAYO/RANI/GANI

Good night.

TAYO (M)

I really want to go on a picnic. There must be some way. Hmm…

(Excited as if coming up with a good idea)

Oh, that’s it! Ha-ha-ha. He-he-he.

Huh? What in the world is going on?

RANI

What’s that matter, Tayo? Are you okay?

TAYO (Overlaps)

(Groaning) Ugh… Ugh... Uh, I feel sick. Ugh…

ROGI (Overlaps)

What’s going on? (Calling out) Hana!

I think Tayo’s sick!

TAYO (M)

Ha-ha. I’ve got them all fooled.

[01;03;29;00] #6. Garage Repair Shop - Morning

TAYO

(Groaning) Ugh…

HANA

Hmm… (Mechanical sounds from inside the repair shop)

CITO

How is he?

HANA

There’s nothing wrong with him, but since he feels sick.

HANA

I think he’d best take the day off and stay at the garage.

TAYO

Perfect. It’s going just as planned.

HANA

Then someone needs to go to work instead of him.

ROGI/RANI/GANI/CITO (Overlaps)

(Considering options) Hmm.

GANI

I’ll take over his route today.

ROGI/RANI/CITO (Overlaps)

(Surprised) Hm. Oh?

HANA

You, Gani?

GANI

Yeah. It’s my day off.

TAYO

(M) Gani? Oh...

HANA

We’re counting on you, Gani.

GANI

Okay. No problem

TAYO

(M) So it’s Gani’s day off today?

GANI

Don’t worry about work and get some rest, Tayo. Okay?

TAYO

O-okay. Thanks, Gani.

ROGI/LANI (Overlaps )

(Chuckling) He-he.

GANI

See you later.

TAYO

Gani’s working instead of me.

HANA

Tayo.

TAYO (Overlaps)

(Grunts) Huh?

HANA

Go rest in the garage. And let me know if you feel any worse. Okay?

TAYO

Okay. Anybody here? He-he. I feel sorry, but it’s only for a day. He-he.

NA

Oh. Tayo was pretending to be sick so he could go on a picnic.

TAYO (Overlaps)

He-he-he.

[01;04;49;00] #7. EXT In Front of The Museum - Afternoon

TOTO

What’s taking him so long?

SPEEDY

Toto!

TOTO

Huh? Why are you so late?

SPEEDY

Sorry. Let’s get going right away.

TAYO (OFF)

Wait!

SPEEDY/TOTO (Overlaps)

Tayo!

TAYO

(Out of breath) You’re still here.

Let me come with you.

TOTO

Didn’t you say you had to work?

TAYO

Um… Well…

SPEEDY

Ha-ha. Great! The more the merrier.

We’ll have a grand time today. Are you ready? Off we go!

TAYO/TOTO

We’re off! He-he.

Tayo, the Little Bus.

[01;05;26;00] #8. EXT On a Bridge - Afternoon

TAYO/TOTO (Together)

Wow!

SPEEDY

Yippee!

TAYO

Geronimo!

SPEEDY

Isn’t the air refreshing?

TAYO

Uh-huh. This feels fantastic.

SPEEDY

Huh?

SPEEDY (OFF)

(Continues) What’s that?

TAYO

Huh? There’s a car in the middle of the road.

Let’s pull up and take a look.

SPEEDY

We don’t have time for that. Let’s go.

TAYO

But he might be in need of help.

SPEEDY

For crying out loud. Just for a minute then.

CAR1

Ugh…

TAYO (Overlaps)

You could get hurt standing here like this.

CAR1 (Overlaps)

Uh… Huh? I know that, but my engine died and I can’t move.

TAYO

What? Your engine?

TOTO

What’s wrong?

CAR1 (Overlaps)

Ugh…

TAYO

His engine broke down and he can’t move.

SPEEDY

What are you guys waiting for?

We have to get going.

SPEEDY (OFF)

Come on!

TAYO

What should we do?

Huh?

TAYO

Toto? We can’t just leave him here alone.

(Stuttering) Um… Oh...

CAR1 (Overlaps)

Thanks a lot.

TOTO

Don’t worry about it.

TAYO

(Not knowing what to say) Uh…

TOTO

Sorry Speedy, but I’m going to have to go.

SPEEDY

What?

TOTO

I have to take this car to the repair shop.

SPEEDY

But you can’t. It’s your day off!

TOTO

Still, it’s my job to help cars that are in trouble.

TAYO

Toto...

SPEEDY

What about the picnic?

TOTO

Sorry, maybe next time. You guys go ahead and have fun.

TAYO (Overlaps)

Huh? Okay.

SPEEDY

(Sounding confused) Uh… Hmm.

NA (Overlaps)

Seeing how responsible Toto was made Tayo feel ashamed of skipping work.

[01;07;02;00] #9. EXT Downtown (Teheran Road) - Afternoon

NA

Gani is working hard in Tayo’s place.

GANI

(Laughing) Watch your step.

NURI

Hey, Gani.

GANI

Huh? Hi, Nuri.

NURI

Isn’t it your day off?

GANI

I’m working in Tayo’s place because he’s sick.

NURI

Oh, I see. You must be tired.

GANI

I’m okay. I just hope Tayo’s feeling better. I’ll see you later.

NURI

Okay, bye. I should visit Tayo. I didn’t know he was sick.

[01;07;32;00] #10. Garage Repair Shop - Afternoon

HANA

Where did I put that screwdriver? Hmm.

TOTO (OFF/Overlaps)

Hana!

HANA

Huh?

TOTO

This fellow is having some problems.

HANA

Really? Can you bring him over here?

TOTO

Okay.

CAR1

(Sounding down) Thank you. Sorry I ruined your day off.

TOTO (Overlaps)

(Smiling) No problem. It’s what I do.

CAR1

Thanks for your help.

HANA

(Surprised) Huh? It was your day off? You’re very responsible, Toto.

TOTO

(Embarrassed) Thanks. I’ll see you later.

HANA

Okay, take care.

TOTO

Bye. (Chuckle) I wonder if Tayo and Speedy are having fun.

[01;08;11;00] #11. EXT Riverside Parking Lot - Afternoon

SPEEDY

What should we do now?

TAYO (Overlaps)

Hmm. Whew. Gani is using his day off to work instead of me.

Hmm. (Out loud) I know!

SPEEDY

(Surprised) Huh? What is it?

Did you come up with something fun? He-he.

TAYO

Sorry, but I have to go now.

SPEEDY

Huh? What? You’re leaving too?

TAYO

Sorry. I’ll see you later.

SPEEDY

Huh? Tayo. Tayo! You can’t leave me all alone! Ugh.

[01;08;40;00] #12. Garage Repair Shop - Afternoon

HANA

Now, try moving slowly.

CAR1 (Overlaps)

Okay. (Smiling)

Hana (Overlaps)

There.

NURI (OFF)

Hana!

HANA (OFF)

Nuri?

NURI

I heard Tayo’s sick.

HANA

Yes, he’s probably in his room getting rest.

NURI

Oh.

NURI

I’ll go see how he’s doing.

HANA

Okay. She must be worried about him. (Smiling) So, how do you feel now?

CAR1

Much better. Thank you. See you later.

HANA

Bye. (Stretching) Ah. I need a rest.

NURI

Hana!

HANA

Huh?

NURI

I can’t find Tayo. I think he went out.

HANA

What?

[01;09;15;00] # 13. EXT Downtown (Teheran Road) - Sunset

GANI

There aren’t many passengers today.

TAYO

Gani!

GANI

Tayo? What are you doing here? Do you feel better?

TAYO

Uh-huh. I’m okay now. And I’m sorry.

GANI

Sorry? For what?

TAYO

Um… I’m just sorry.

GANI

What are you sorry for?

TAYO

Never mind. I’ll take it from here so you go back and rest. Okay?

GANI

Huh? Uh, well all right.

TAYO

(Moving forward) He-he. All aboard!

GANI

What’s gotten into him?

[01;09;53;00] #14. Garage Square - Sunset

HANA

Where in the world could he be?

GANI

I’m back.

HANA

Why are you already here, Gani?

GANI (Overlaps)

Well, Tayo suddenly showed up and told me to come back to the garage.

HANA/NURI

He did?

GANI

He said he’s feeling better now.

HANA

Still, he shouldn’t have left without saying anything.

GANI

And he was acting a little strange.

HANA/NURI

How so?

GANI

I was just working his route because he was sick,

(Continues) but he kept apologizing to me.

HANA

Really?

NURI

Maybe he felt bad that you had to fill in for him.

GANI

Maybe. Hmm.

[01;10;31;00] #15. EXT Downtown (Teheran Road) - Night

TAYO

He-he. Welcome aboard!

MALE PASSENGER

You’re full of energy.

TAYO (Overlaps)

He-he-he.

MALE PASSENGER

Aren’t you tired from working?

TAYO

Ha-ha-ha. Nope. Not at all!

MALE PASSENGER

You’re a cheerful little bus.

TAYO

He-he. Okay, off we go! He-he.

NA

Tayo realized his mistake by watching Gani and Toto.

You won’t skip work anymore, will you Tayo?

TAYO (Overlaps)

(Sounding embarrassed) He-he. (Cheerfully) Nope! (Winking) He-he.
