Nigh-- nigh!
Yes, Sir Leona!
Wa-hoo!
Yonder approacheth the queen!
The queen!
Finally, someone recognizes
my true regal position in writing-dom.
I see my loyal subjects are dressed
to hear my latest tale
of knights in shining armor.
Yes, your majesty!
Yes, your majesty!
Tell me, your majesty
does thy story have
a mean, nasty, villain?
The meanest.
The nastiest!
Oh, read it, read it, read it!
Yeah, read it, please, please, please?
Mine is a tale of brave knights on a glorious quest
faced by the meanest villain on earth.
It's called, "The Quest for the Chest."
Quest.
Chest.
Written by...
Babs Caplan.
( trumpet fanfare )
Your majesty!
Your majesty!
CAPLAN ( reading ): "'The Quest for the Chest.'
"A Babs Caplan Production
"starring Faith Prince, David Garrison and Michael McGrath.
"Written by Babs Caplan...
based upon a story by Babs Caplan."
CAPLAN ( reading ):
ESTHER and LESTER ( singing ):
( horses whinny )
Oh, yeah, here comes the good part!
Mmm...!
( snorting )
( coughing )
Oh, chest... you are the best chest.
( snorts )
It is our destiny to be together.
( chuckles )
CAPLAN ( reading ):
( thunderous knock )
( singing ):
( snorts )
We don't want any.
I am Lady Esther and this is my jester, Lester
and we are on a quest for the chest from Budapest.
( snorting )
Never heard of it.
CAPLAN ( reading ):
Gadzooks! That's it!
( Esther and Lester giggling )
Oh... that.
So?
( gasps )
We request that you give us that chest.
No.
BOTH ( whining ): Please...
CHESTER: Oh, very well.
( squeals )
ESTHER and LESTER: ♪ Quest, quest ♪
♪ The Chest of Budapest. ♪
So, how much did you love it?
LIONEL: I, um, well, uh...
It wasn't the best story I've ever heard.
Best!
Well, why not?
Well, uh...
Um... for one thing, there was no story.
Yeah, he just asked for the chest
and Sir Chester gave it to him.
Yeah.
CLEO: Excuse me.
Babs, I don't want to be a pest...
Pest.
but may I suggest something?
Suggest.
There sure are
a lot of monkeys in here today.
Oh, Tuesday is Free Monkey Lunch Day.
They walk around with words while they digest.
Digest.
THEO: Mmm, see?
Now, we couldn't help
but overhear your story, Babs.
Now, we don't want to interfere...
But we have some thoughts.
Are you interested?
Of course!
I'm interested in all little people and lions.
Animals are good.
Yeah, right...
Um, look, I think the cubs might enjoy the story more
if there were a... a challenge.
Right!
Say if Count Chester would somehow test
Esther and Lester Jester.
Test.
Yeah!
A good villain would test
their courage... and stuff.
Test.
A test.
Test!
Yes, a test.
Test.
A test.
Oh, read it yourself!
( laughs )
Brainstorm!
What if the heroes faced a test?
That'd do it.
Away! Away!
I must have room to work.
Of course.
Good idea.
Oh.
Oh, you want us to leave, too.
Oh yes, your majesty.
We're leaving, your majesty.
LEONA: Whatever you say, your majesty.
LIONEL: Oh, yes, your majesty.
Hey, and next, Martha Reader and the Vowelles
singing the zesty short "e"-- "eh"-- sound
in the word "vest."
( Martha singing repeated short "e" sound to pop tune )
( Vowelles respond rhythmically with short "e" sound )
CROWD: Vest!
( monkeys hooting )
ANNOUNCER: And now, Barnaby B. Busterfield III
says the best word with the "est" ending.
( clears his throat )
The best word with the "est" ending is... "best."
Oh, how obvious was, um, uh, uh...
That?
Yeah. Huh!
Huh!
Well, it is!
( scoffs )
( cheering )
GAWAIN: Excellent!
Gawain here once again at Blending Fields
where two brave knights in armor
will charge together at high speed and make a word.
Competing today we have Sir Dr...
( cheering )
And Sir Ess!
( cheering )
Blend on, dudes!
BOTH: Dress!
( cheering )
Does this make me look fat?
"Dress"-- excellent!
That's Gawain's word for today.
And this is Gawain saying
Don't stress, because I guess I'll see you next time on...

LIONEL: Come on, hold still, Click.
Yeah.
I feel like a baked potato.
That's your armor, Click.
You can't be a knight without armor.
CAPLAN: Eureka!
My story is done.
( Lionel and Leona gasp )
Great! The story's done!
CLICK: Are we playing now?
Because I cannot see.
Hello?
( clunk )
Oh.
Did you add a test, your majesty?
Test.
Oh, yes, the best test ever to foil
a hero's quest.
Wow!
Best!
Test!
( thud )
Quest.
Read it

( singing )
( horses whinny )
( singing )
( snorting )
Oh!
Ooh!
M-m-m-m...
( fluttering tongue )
Gadzooks! That's it!
( giggling excitedly )
( oohing and ahhing )
We request that you give us that chest.
( Chester snorts )
You may have your chest
if... you pass a test.
I shall write the word "chest" on a piece of paper...
and "guest" on another.
( chicken honks )
If you choose the "chest" paper
you get the chest.
If you choose "guest"
you will be a guest in my dungeon forever!
( Count Chester laughing evilly )
Is a dungeon a cold, dark place
with bars on the doors and windows
and really bad food?
Yes!
( groans )
We'll take that test, Count Chester.
How diabolical!
Oh, what will they do?
Choose!
( no sound )
LADY ESTHER: That one.
What's it say, hmm?
Guest!
You lose!
( both crying )
( laughing evilly )
CAPLAN: "And he locked them in the dungeon forever!"
( Count Chester laughing evilly )
BOTH: What?!
So, how much did you love it?
But it... it's awful!
I mean, the... the cheater wins!
That's not a very good lesson for me to learn
at my young, impressionable age.
No, it isn't, is it?
BOTH: No!
Um, Babs, we don't want to seem
like we were eavesdropping...
No, and we don't want to tell you
how to write your story...
No... no!
But we were thinking you might...
Might.
might want to try to come up with a way
for the hero to win.
A way for the hero to win.
Yes, if that's your vision, of course.
Yeah, do it, do it, do it!
Come on, you can cook something up.
Did you say, "Cook up"?
Yeah, cook up.
Cook up?
Yeah, that's what Lionel said.
Cook... up.
Cook... up!
Brainstorm!
Hold your comments!
Hold your applause!
I'm going back in!
( all exclaim )
Genius doesn't like to be watched while it works!
CHORUS: ♪ What's Cooking? with Theo and Cleo ♪
♪ Check out what's cooking! ♪
Okay, Theo, my big wild boar burger.
( laughing )
Wow!
What's cooking today is...
"Peppered tenderloin in a kettle with no melons and no egg."
Yummy!
CLEO: One-- ( cracks pointer )
"Get rid of the melons and the egg."
Good-bye melons!
Adios, egg!
Wa-be-de-pah!
Whoo!
CLEO: Two-- ( cracks pointer )
"Pepper the tenderloin."
Mmm, pepper...
Most important, yes.
♪ Pepper, pepper, pepper, pepper, pep... ♪
( sneezes )
( sneezes )
Oh!
Whoa!
CLEO: Three-- ( cracks pointer )
"Put the peppered tenderloin in a kettle."
Tenderloin.
Kettle.
Yes.
( groaning )
Here we go.
Wait!
What?
CLEO: Four-- ( cracks pointer )
"Cook for ten hours"?!
Ten urs?!
BOTH: Nah!
( both chewing loudly )
And now, once again, it's time for the adventures of Sam Spud
parboiled potato detective.
SAM SPUD: The name is Spud, Sam Spud.
I was working late one night.
The blinking of the neon sign outside my window was endless.
It was about to drive me crazy.
Suddenly there was a knock at my door.
Who's there?
Butter.
Butter who?
Butter open up, Spud
or we'll be forced to batter down this door!
SAM SPUD: Butter? He looked more like a tub of lard.
As a matter of fact, he was a tub of lard.
But it was his pals that worried me.
They looked like a couple of really bad iggs.
Iggs?
What's an igg?
Oh, sorry!
That's not right.
I-G-G-S spells "iggs."
That shouldn't be an "I."
That should be an "E."
E-G-G-S, "eggs."
They looked like a couple of really bad eggs.
As a matter of fact, they were a couple of really bad eggs--
hard-boiled and rotten as they come.
I could tell one of them was ready to crack.
As a matter of fact, he did.
( grumbling )
The yoke's on us.
This is really bad.
Uh-oh!
( panting )
Whew!
What so you say we check out
that diner on the corner?
Ah! I like a Spud who asks a tub
to share some grub as the sun comes up.
Mm-hmm, indeed I do!
This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
( music begins playing )

And now The Word Doctor with Dr. Ruth Wordheimer.
Hello.
Here's Dr. Ruth.
MONKEY: Ooh! Ooh!
Something tells me
it's time for another "long word freak-out."
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, Dr. Ruth!
Dr. Ruth, you got to help me with this word.
It's so long, I can't read it.
It's too...
hard.
It's not too hard.
I will help you.
Take a deep breath.
( inhales deeply )
Start on the left
and read one part of the word at a time.
( exhales forcefully )
Okay!
Start on the left.
"En...
"ter...
"tain...
ing."
Good!
Now put them together.
"En... ter.. tain... ing."
"Enter... taining."
"Entertaining."
"Entertaining."
You read it!
Now that wasn't so hard, was it?
No, no, it wasn't hard.
It was kind of...
ooh... ooh... entertaining!
Oh, I'm going to go find some more long words to read!
Oh, thank you, Dr. Ruth!
You are welcome!
( door closes )
That was painless.
Ooh, I'm good!
LEONA: Watch the whiskers.
LIONEL: Hold still, Click.
You want eyeholes in your armor or not?
Know what?
Click's right--
she does look more like a baked potato than a knight.
Does not.
It's cool armor!
Ready to hear what I cooked up?
ALL: Oh, yes!
Oh, your baked potato can listen, too.
CLICK: Hey!
"The Quest for the Chest"
written by Babs Caplan.
You remember that Lady Esther
and Lester the Jester were on the quest for the chest?
And they went to Count Chester's castle.
BOTH: ♪ Quest, quest, quest, quest. Quest, quest, quest, quest. ♪
( snorts )
That is the weirdest Christmas carol I've ever heard.
( both exclaim )
Gadzooks, that's it!
( squeals )
( giggling )
( both giggling )
We request that you give us this chest.
You may have the chest, if you pass a test.
I shall write the word "chest" on a piece of paper...
Oh...
( groaning )
Hmm... hmm...
( groans )
( chicken squawks )
Ah.
and "guest"
on another.
If you choose the "chest" paper, you get the chest.
Oh, boy.
If you choose the "guest," you will be a guest
in my dungeon forever!
Oh, boy!
We'll take the test!
That one.
What's it say, hmm?
Gak!
Now how will we know
what was written on that paper?!
This one says "guest"
so that means the one I chose and threw into the fire
must have said "chest"
Right?
( groans )
Grumble, grumble.
She's bested me!
Yes, she's right!
She's right!
♪ We've got the chest! ♪
♪ She's right, she's right! ♪
BOTH: ♪ Now we've go the chest ♪
♪ The one we just mentioned. ♪
( crying )
Well, how much did you love what I cooked up?
That was the best story I ever heard!
Yeah, the best!
The best!
Excellent!
Brava... bravissima.
Of course it was the best.
The thinking juices were flowing in my brain
like gravy over a steaming ham!
THEO: Oh, boy!
Wow, she has such a way with words.
Mmm.
It will be my biggest seller!
This book will make me famous, and I owe it all to you!
Don't think that I am not grateful.
When they build a statue to me
I will see to it that they carve your names
under the pedestal.
BOTH: Wow.
Good-bye, your majesty!
Wow.
Hey, Leona, let's keep playing!
We can be knights for days!
Yay!
Giddyap, giddyap, giddyap!
Knights for days.
Hey, who left this baked potato here?
I'll eat it!
CLICK: Hey!
( both gasp )
I thought the talking potato was coming next week.
And now, Walter and Clay Pigeon take a siesta.
( both snoring )
Well, this may not be great television
but I'm loving it!
( chuckles )
There are games and stories at the Between the Lions Web site:
