Mr. Lazy Can't Sleep Anymore




 * Narrator: What are Little Miss Splendid and Mr. Strong doing out and about so early?
 * [She points at a car that can be heard in the distance.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: Here he is!
 * Narrator: They've arranged to meet Mr. Rush.
 * [Mr. Rush parks his van next to them.]
 * Mr. Rush: Are you ready?
 * Mr. Strong: We are, but Mr. Lazy isn't here.
 * [At Mr. Lazy's house, snoring can be heard. He is seen sleeping in bed. Soon, a doorbell is heard ringing constantly but he still doesn't get out of bed. Miss Splendid tries to ring the doorbell again but nothing happens.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: What can he be doing?
 * Mr. Strong: Leave this to me, Little Miss Splendid.
 * [Mr. Strong bangs on the door, but Mr. Lazy is still in bed.]
 * Narrator: Goodness me. Mr. Lazy really does have a difficult time waking up in the morning!
 * [A car horn honking sound is heard.]
 * Mr. Rush: [Angrily] He's going to make us late.
 * Little Miss Splendid: [Calling] Yoo-hoo. Mr. Lazy, get up! Oh, do wake up!
 * [Mr. Rush honks his car horn repeatedly in desperation. Eventually, the door opens and Mr. Lazy appears and yawns.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: Well, are you ready for our little outing, Mr. Lazy?
 * Mr. Lazy: [Yawns slowly] Yeah.
 * [They all make their way inside Mr. Rush's van.]
 * Mr. Rush: [Desperately] Come on, everyone! Off we go! It's lunchtime already!
 * [The doors close and the van drives off.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: Already?
 * Mr. Strong: [Rubbing his tummy] I'm famished.
 * [He pushes Mr. Lazy to try and keep him awake.]
 * Mr. Rush: I know a nice little inn which makes the most delicious raspberry jam on the whole world.
 * Mr. Strong: [Nudges Mr. Lazy] Sounds wonderful, doesn't it, Mr. Lazy.
 * [As soon as they arrive, everyone gets out of the van except Mr. Lazy. Miss Splendid and Mr. Strong wait outside, whilst Mr. Lazy enters.]
 * Mr. Rush: Let's tuck in!
 * Little Miss Splendid: What about Mr. Lazy?
 * Mr. Strong: Bad luck. He is too busy sleeping.
 * [The two enter the inn.]


 * [Inside, everyone is sat on the table.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: This omelette is delicious.
 * Mr. Strong: [Chuckles] What a spread. I wouldn't say no to another dozen.
 * Mr. Rush: Sorry, Mr. Strong. We really-- must be going now.
 * [--At tht point, he jumps off his seat and runs outside the inn back to his van. Miss Splendid and Mr. Strong walk away too.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: And what is next, Mr. Rush?
 * Mr. Rush: Aha. That's a surprise.
 * Little Miss Splendid: Go on, Mr. Rush. Do tell us.
 * Mr. Rush: No. Then it wouldn't be a surprise.
 * [As soon as Mr. Strong gets in the van the door closes. The van drives off.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: You're so secretive, Mr. Rush.
 * [They arrive outside a castle. Mr. Rush jumps out of the van.]
 * Mr. Rush: A genuine mediaeval castle!
 * Little Miss Splendid: Ooh! So this was your surprise. [She moves out of the van.]
 * Mr. Strong: [Nudges Mr. Lazy.] Wake up! You can't miss this, Mr. Lazy.
 * [Mr. Strong nudges him again before moving out. He yawns. Meanwhile, Mr. Rush is standing on the drawbrdge.]
 * Mr. Rush: Follow your guide.
 * [Mr. Rush walks inside the castle, followed Mr. Little Miss Splendid, who stops half-way along the drawbridge and looks at the building.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: Such a wonderful idea, Mr. Rush.
 * [She walks inside.]
 * Mr. Rush: This is the courtyard.
 * Mr. Strong: [Walking in and pointing at the cannons] Just look at those cannons.
 * [Meanwhile, back outside, Mr. Lazy sleepwalks across the drawbridge inside the castle. Inside, Mr. Lazy introduces everyone to the next room, which has a wooden table.]
 * Mr. Rush: The king's dining room!
 * Mr. Strong: I wonder if the king ate omelettes.
 * Mr. Rush: Step this way for the rest of the tour.
 * [They all walk across to the next room. The camera pans to Mr. Lazy arriving at the king's dining room. It then cuts back to Mr. Rush and the rest of the group arriving at the next room. Mr. Rush screeches to a halt next to a large bed.]
 * Mr. Rush: The King's bedroom!
 * Mr. Strong: [Bangs on the bed's pole with his fist] That's very tough!
 * Mr. Rush: And now, everyone to the top!
 * [He runs up the stairs, whilst Mr. Lazy opens his eyes and finds a bed. The camera cuts to the top of the castle. Mr. Rush jumps up the hole with a ladder on the side and looks outside.]
 * Mr. Rush: Look at the view!
 * [Mr. Strong and Little Miss Splendid are at the bottom of the ladder. The latter is nervous.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: I can't climb up there!
 * Mr. Strong: Allow me to help you, Little Miss Splendid.
 * [Mr. Strong carries her on one arm and uses his other arm to climb up the ladder.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: Oh! Mr. Strong!
 * [He puts her down at the top of the castle.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: Thank you, Mr. Strong.
 * Mr. Rush: OK, Ladies and Gentlemen. The tour is over. It's home time.
 * Mr. Strong: Where's Mr. Lazy?
 * Little Miss Splendid: There he is.
 * [She sees Mr. Lazy through the window. He is sleeping on the king's bed.]


 * [Everyone walks across the drawbridge. Mr. Rush angrily points at Mr. Lazy.]
 * Mr. Rush: Thanks to you, Mr. Lazy, we're late again!
 * [Everyone makes it in Mr. Rush's van.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: I'm simply exhausted.
 * [The van drives away.]


 * [It is now night-time in Misterland.]
 * Narrator: And that night, everyone went to bed early. Everyone, except Mr. Lazy.
 * [Outside his house, one of his windows are flashing.]
 * Narrator: As he sleeps all day, Mr. Lazy isn't tired at night. So he watches his favourite video on television. That's right, [Laughs] it's a video of himself fast asleep! [Mr. Lazy yawns] Good night, Mr. Lazy!
 * [He starts sleeping while the narrator laughs. The screen fades to black and the credits appear.]
