Ruby's Piano Practice

[The scene begins in the living room. Max is seen sitting all alone in his chair and turns over. Ruby suddenly appears with her music book. Max gets off the chair]

Ruby: The school concert is tomorrow, Max, and I'm going to play twinkle twinkle little star.

Max: Firetruck.

Ruby: I don't know where your fire truck is, Max. (clears throat) Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are. Practice makes perfect, Max. You go play with your toys while I practice.

Max: Firetruck.

Ruby: You lost your firetruck, Max. You'll have to play with something else. Now lets see. Twinkle twinkle little star...

[The scene then cuts to the kitchen where Max's toys were standing by. Max knocks the toys over with his rabbit racing motorcycle. Max sees a creature behind the toys. It was a jellyball-spitting spider. He bounces it up and down but then it gets flung into the ceiling and got stuck]

Ruby: And our next musician, Ruby, playing twinkle twinkle little star.

[Ruby sits on the chair, rubs her dress, cracks her knuckles, and begins to play, but she starts to have a problem with her chair]

Ruby: Hmmmm....

[Ruby gets off the chair and cleans it by rubbing]

Ruby: Perfect.

[Ruby gets back on the chair but needs the beat so she can do it]

Ruby: Hmmm.

[Ruby gets off the chair and turns on the metronome]

Ruby: One and two.

[Ruby plays the song until Max interrupts her]

Max: Firetruck.

Ruby: What is it Max?

Max: Firetruck.

Ruby: I don't know where your firetruck is, Max.

[Max smiles mischeviously]

Ruby: You'll have to play with your lobster instead. (humming) Here's your lobster, Max. Lets wind him up. [she winds up the lobster and the lobster moves along] I have to practice for my concert tomorrow, Max.

[Max's lobster goes around the room and climbs up the window and goes outside]

Ruby: At last. I don't have much time and this is gotta be just right. And one and...

[She plays the song and Max interrupts her again]

Max: Firetruck.

Ruby: What's the matter, Max?

Max: Firetruck.

Ruby: I know what we should do. Lets give you some lunch. You can even make it yourself.

[When they got to the kitchen...]

Ruby: Here's the peanut butter, and here's the lettuce and here's the bread, Max. Make your own sandwich, Max. I have to practice.

[Max puts peanut butter and a piece of lettuce in the bread and Max hears a spider falling to the ground. He thinks it will be a great material for the bread. Finally he made a peanut butter-lettuce-mashed spider sandwich and walks out of the kitchen]

Ruby: And one and...

[She plays the song until Max interrupts her]

Max: Firetruck.

Ruby: What is it this time, Max?

Max: Firetruck.

Ruby: You finished your lunch? Now you can go play outside all by yourself.

[Ruby sprays the mud puddle for Max to play in and holds a submarine]

Ruby: You can even play in the mud with your deep-diving submarine.

[She turns it on and the submarine dives in the mud]

Ruby: Look at it dive into the mud, Max. Where's it going?

[Max digs on the mud searching for it]

Ruby: You know where to find it, Max.

[Max digs around getting the submarine back]

Ruby: And now without any further delay, twinkle twinkle little star.

[She sits on the chair, stretches her dress, cracks her knuckles and plays a song. When Ruby plays a song as she presses the F key, a siren has occurred]

Ruby: What's that?

[She presses it again and it sirens again. She moves the table to the side climbs up, opens the lid and find a firetruck in it]

Max: (all muddy) Firetruck.

Ruby: (sees Max covered with mud) Max, you're all muddy.

[Max plays with the firetruck and it drove all around him]

Max: Firetruck.
