Corduroy

Corduroy:
[after his friends can't play with him today] Why don't they want to play with me (today)? [pause] I must be sad. I don't like being sad.

[In Corduroy's flashback, he was sitting on a toy shelf in the toy store surrounding by toys who were also on the shelf with him. This part is loosely from the Don Freeman book; Corduroy from the Corduroy book series]

Corduroy:
[voice over] I used to sad when I lived in the toy store (back then). I waited everyday (and everynight) for somebody to take me home. Then, one day---

Lisa:
[off-screen] Mom, look! [on-screen] That's the very bear I've always wanted.

Lisa's Mom:
Not today, dear. I've spend too much already. [about Corduroy who doesn't look like new because he's missing a button from one of the shoulder straps] Besides he doesn't look new. [off-screen] He's lost the button to one of his shoulder straps.

Lisa:
[gets Corduroy out of the toy shelf] But he's got sparkly eyes [off-screen] and a real nice smile. [on-screen] He's perfect. [to her mother] I've saved up my own money. Can't I buy him, please?

[In Lisa's room, Lisa opens her bedroom door and welcomes Corduroy to his new home]

Lisa:
[welcoming Corduroy to her bedroom from her place in the apartment] Welcome to your new home, Corduroy.

[Corduroy was surprised when he sees Lisa's room for the very first time]

Corduroy:
[off-screen] Wow! [on-screen; turns to Lisa and hugs her] You must be a friend, I've always wanted a friend.

Lisa:
[happily; to Corduroy] Me too!

[Back in the present day, Corduroy started to sniff sadly as he begins sobbing]

Corduroy:
[becomes heartbroken as tears rolls down his cheeks] Maybe nobody wants to be friends with me anymore. [closes the linen closet door]
