Corduroy:
[off-screen] Lisa?

Lisa:
Cordy, what happened?

Corduroy:
[about how he fell off Buckaroo and scraped his elbow yesterday] I hurt it yesterday when I fell off Buckaroo. I was riding him to fast.

[Lisa --unaware of the fact that her toothache is still there-- becomes concerned about Corduroy's injury when he --Corduroy-- rocked on Buckaroo the rocking horse too fast and fell off of him.]

Lisa:
You should have told me right away.

[Lisa picks up Corduroy.]

Lisa:
Come on, I'll fix it up for you.

[In the bathroom, Lisa --despite still feeling her toothache-- puts the bandage on Corduroy's scraped and cut elbow.]

Lisa:
There. How does it feel?

Corduroy:
[feels the bandage on his cut after he fell off Buckaroo] Much better.

[Corduroy, he hugs Lisa.]

Lisa:
[feels the toothache] Ow!

Corduroy:
Sorry, I must have squeezed too hard.

Lisa:
[to Corduroy while feeling her tooth] It's not your fault. It's my tooth.

Corduroy:
Didn't get better on its own?

Lisa:
[about her toothache] I was hoping it would but it's getting worse! It hurts when I eat something hot, it hurts when I eat something cold, it hurts when I laugh, and it hurts when I sleep!

[Lisa walks around as she talks about her toothache. Then she goes over to Corduroy, despite his injury being healed after falling off Buckaroo.]

Lisa:
[turns to Corduroy about it] But now it even hurts when you hug me!

Corduroy:
What are you going to do?

Lisa:
[sadly --and to answer Corduroy's question] Something that I should have done a long time ago!

[Later, the scene cuts to where Lisa and Corduroy are in the living room with Lisa's mom. Lisa is going tell her mom the truth about her toothache.]

Lisa's Mom:
[to Lisa when she had not admitted the truth yet about her toothache and not yet had told her about it in the first place] Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Lisa:
I would have but I was afraid of the giant needle.

Lisa Mom:
The giant needle?

Lisa:
It's this long!

Lisa's Mom:
Mm, and where did you hear about this?

Lisa:
Moppy.

Lisa's Mom:
I'm pretty sure Moppy's exaggerating.

Lisa:
Why would he do that?

Lisa's Mom:
I know he didn't mean any harm. Sometimes when you worried about something your mind exaggerates things like the size of a needle.

Lisa:
You mean it's not this big?

Lisa's Mom:
More like this small. The needle is just meant to keep you from being uncomfortable. You can hardly feel it.

Lisa:
And I'm not going to get my teeth pulled out either?

Lisa's Mom:
Your teeth pulled out? Goodness, no. Whoever told you?

[Lisa's mom thinks that Lisa have heard that from Moppy.]

Lisa's Mom:
Let me guess.

[Lisa and her mom started to laugh.]

Lisa and Lisa's Mom:
Moppy.

[They continue to laugh. But Lisa's tooth hurts when she laughs.]

Lisa:
Ow!
