Tigger Got Your Tongue

(In the Hundred Acre Wood with the three blue robin birds at their nest, chirping at daytime along with the mother delivering a worm for lunch, Winnie the Pooh was holding a honey pot and Piglet is painting a picture small enough for his mantle.)

Pooh: (holding a honey pot) Oh, Piglet. I don't mean to pry, but how long before holding honey becomes eating honey?

Piglet: (painting a picture) I'm sorry, Pooh. (painting faster offground with his brush) But being such a very small animal, (Pooh trying not to trip) it takes a large amount of painting to make a Pooh small enough for my mantle.

Pooh: Oh, bother. (Now, he trips accidentally.)

Piglet: (stops painting) Pooh? (running to help Pooh get up) Pooh?

Pooh: (getting up, happily) I'm sorry, Piglet. (Piglet giving Pooh his honey pot) I think my foot went to sleep without me.

Piglet: (The picture which he painted almost blew away in the blustery winds in the woods which was called a Nobody.) I'm almost done, Pooh. I'll hurry. (He gets horrifed after his picture had blown away seconds ago.) Dear! My painting of you is gone!

Tigger: (bouncing near Piglet along with Pooh walking to him) Hello there, fellow artistes. (gasps) It's brilliant! Genius! (trying to investigate Piglet's paper) Looks like polar bears eating marshmallows in a snowstorm.

Piglet: Oh, but it's not supposed to be polar bears, Tigger. It was a picture of Pooh.

Pooh: It's true. I was there. And now I'm, uh, (rubbing his own head)

Tigger: (rubbing his chin) Hmm? Pooh poachers, eh?

Piglet: Yes! And nobody at all was around.

Tigger: Aha! Of course, nobody was there. (seeing Piglet's paper pad) And nobody is who pilfered Piglet's Pooh picture.

Pooh: It was?

Tigger: (getting serious) "Absaposilutely." And nobody knows Nobodies (pointing and putting Piglet's paper pad back) like I know Nobodies. Come on. Let's find us that Nobody. (Walking into the woods to find the Nobody)

Pooh: But, Tigger. How shall we catch him, (whispering) if we can't see him?

Tigger: That's easy. (laughing) Hoo-hoo-hoo. You gotta sniff him out. (sniffing in the dirt like a pointer dog and points) Topeka!

(At Rabbit's garden, Tigger sees Rabbit raking and humming and he pounces on him.)

Tigger: (on Rabbit, gasping with Pooh and Piglet walking to see him) It's the dreaded long-eared Nobody!

Pooh: (putting his hand on his own head) Long-eared Nobodies look a great deal like Rabbit.

Rabbit: (getting Tigger off of him) That's because I am Rabbit.

Tigger: (sarcastically) An unlikely story.

Rabbit: (seriously) Tigger, this is my garden and I'm Rabbit. (folding his arms and closing his eyes)

Tigger: (investigating Rabbit's tail and touching it) Hmm? His tail does look awfully fluffy for a nobody.

Rabbit: What on earth is a nobody?

Pooh: Somebody who's not these but takes your paintings anyway. (chuckling)

Rabbit: I'm surprised at all of you, believing in unseen creatures like, like Nobodies.

Piglet: But one of them stole my painting.

Rabbit: Don't be silly. There's a reasonable explanation for everything.

Pooh: There is?

Tigger: Sure! Hoo! And when we find a nobody, he'll tell us what it is. (laughing) Hoo-hoo-hoo! (Walking along with Pooh and Piglet.)

Rabbit: Hmph! Nobodies! (giving a grumpy look) Ha! The idea.

(Appearing in the carrot patch, there are crows that lives now in the underground wearing tunnel helmets and steals carrots for their hungry stomachs. But one, holding an empty cart accidentally bumps the full cart and the other two holding them were now laughing, dropping them to the ground.)

Crow: (shushing the two crows) Shh! (The three were now muffled laughing.)

(And so, in the cliffs of the woods, Pooh and Piglet were looking for an unseen Nobody who blew away the painting worringly while Tigger now bounces to the cliff looking for it.)

Tigger: (laughing) Hoo-hoo! That was close! (his voice echoing) That was close! You're telling me.

Pooh: Who's telling you, Tigger? There's nobody around.

Tigger: (gasping) Thats it! A nobody!

Piglet: Tigger, that nobody sounds a great deal like you.

Tigger: (getting closer to Piglet) It's because Nobodies are real sneaky-pants types. They'll steal anything that isn't nailed down, ha, even voices. But I'm not afraid! (poking his own chest and raising his finger) It's time for Plan "T"! (addressing to the audience, breaking the fourth wall) "T" stands for Tigger by the way. (Walking and whistling, but also pretending that there's a fight between him and the unseen Nobody.) Gotcha! (Sputtering and coughing with his arms folded, and his voice echoing again) Gotcha! (his echoing voice sputtering and coughing)

Piglet: (looking at Tigger while pretending to lose his voice) Tigger is shouting a great deal more quietly than before.

Pooh: (whispering) Perhaps it is part of Plan "T".

Piglet: Pooh, I think he's trying to tell us he lost his voice.

Pooh (looking at Tigger pretending to lose his voice and jumping around, chuckling) Then why didn't he just say so in the first place?

Piglet: Pooh, remember what Tigger said about Nobodies being sneaky?

Pooh: Why, yes, Piglet. I do. Tigger didn't lose his voice. That nobody who sounded so very much like Tigger took it. (Tigger and Piglet jumping excitedly).

Piglet: Oh, the same one who took my painting. (worried) How will we ever find them, Pooh?

Pooh: I suppose the best place to find a nobody is nowhere in particular. (Walking along with Piglet and Tigger while Piglet's picture of Pooh actually appears when the wind is blowing.)

Rabbit: (checking his carrot patch that these carrots were stolen by the Crows.) Now, just a minute. (a bit irritated) I'm sure I had some carrots right there and there! Nobody could have taken them. I've been here all-- (gasping) Did I say "Nobody"? (sarcastically) Ha! Don't be ridiculous.

(The crows in the underground are looking at Rabbit with the binoculars, laughing while it's filled with echoes while Gopher on the hand appears in the tunnels.)

Gopher: Jumping crawdaddies! Gad-- Sss-say, who'd be mess-ssing around down here without bothering to s-ssay hello? (At the workshop, he appears that his tools are gone.) My tools-ss! They're gone! (starts yelling) Thieves-ss! Tunnel invaders-ss! (getting grouchy) Well, they won't get back in here again. (chuckling, holding his red barrel of dynamite to the ground to blow the Crows up.) Let's ss-see them try after I ss-seal off the North Tunnel.

Piglet: (along with Pooh still walking and Tigger stopping and still walking to look for the Nobody.) Pooh, Tigger's not talking again. (Looking at Tigger in sign language)

Pooh: He says, "Look... out... for... the... (falls down along with Piglet into Gopher's tunnels with his voice echoing)... HOLE!" (and Tigger comes too, bouncing and crashing) Listening to Tigger not talk is more dangerous than I thought. We'd better get some help finding his voice.

Gopher: Aha! Caught ya, ya tool-ss-snatchin' varmints! Think they're ss-so ss-smart do they? Hmph! Well, I'll show them! That's the lass-st time they'll use the Ss-south Tunnels. (holding another barrel of dynamite)

Rabbit: (planting new carrots with his garden hoe) Hmph. There's a reasonable explanation for everything. (The Crows stealing carrots again) Things just don't disappear.

Pooh: I'm certain Rabbit will help find that nobody that took Tigger's voice. (Rabbit stilling working with his garden hoe and more carrots were stolen again by the Crows) Even if he doesn't believe in them.

(Tigger now bounces to stop the Crows from stealing Rabbit's carrots by grabbing them with his hands and grabs another carrot, but in a tug-o-war, Tigger and the crow are grabbing a carrot and also, the three of them are falling (cawing) and Tigger crashes down into Rabbit again.)

Rabbit: Tigger! What are you doing with my vegetables?! (scolding Tigger with his young carrot) No, no, no. Excuses won't do you any good. I saw you. I knew there was a reasonable explanation.

Pooh: But, Rabbit, Tigger says he was saving your "vegebibbles" from the nobody.

Rabbit: Not that nobody business again.

Pooh: Have you not seen one around, Rabbit, that perhaps sounds like Tigger?

Rabbit: Oh, certainly! I don't see them all the time! Who do you think I grow my vegetables for?! (walking off and talking to himself) Here, have a carrot. Be my guest. Oh, please! I insist!

Pooh: Perhaps we'd better come back later to ask Rabbit about Tigger's nobody. He seems to be busy with his own Nobodies right now.

(Back in Gopher's tunnels, the Crows are working with carrots on their carts after the other crashes (cawing), Gopher appears again.)

Gopher: What the ding dangy! (grunts) Now they're in the Eass-st Tunnels.

Rabbit: (with his clipboard and pencil) I was positive I had more cabbages than this. There is a reasonable explanation for all this. Isn't there?

Pooh: Hello, Rabbit! (Rabbit horrifingly gasps) We're back again.

Piglet: Ha, yes, your nobodies are the only ones we can find.

Rabbit: For the last time, I don't have any nobodies. (Now, these tomatoes were stolen by the crows.)

Pooh: Well, then, who's taking those?

Rabbit: (gasps) Ah! My tomatoes! Where'd they go?

Pooh: I think we're about to find out. (These cabbages were stolen and Piglet hides behind Pooh.)

Piglet: Oh d-d-dear! (Pooh, Tigger and Piglet are now snatched)

Rabbit: No! They're gone! And nobody was around! Nobodies! It's every vegetable for himself! (running off)

(The Crows were scared off by Pooh, Tigger and Piglet in defeat and flew away never to be seen again.)

Gopher: Well, that ought to take care-- (spinning after the Crows flying away) Mmm-mmm-mmm! That tears it! They're everywhere. Have to ss-seal off the Northwess-st Tunnels and the Ss-southeass-st Tunnels. (dashing off)

Pooh: You know, those vegetable-stealing nobodies certainly looked familiar.

Piglet: Crows aren't nobodies, Pooh. They're crows.

Pooh: (thinking) Now, what would Crows want with Tigger's voice?

Piglet: And how will we ever find it with all these vegetables in the way?

Pooh: Perhaps if we put back Rabbit's vegetables first. We can find Tigger's voice and put it back (stuttering) after first. (Tigger bounces happily, bumping his head.) After all, (chuckling) what comes down must go up.

Rabbit: (with his broom, vegetables and his baskets) This vegetable-napping is going to stop here and now. (The vegetables including the tomatoes, carrot and a cabbage now appears in the ground.) No! The nobodies! They're back!

Gopher: (trying to blow the last barrel of dynamite, chuckling) Let's ss-see them ss-sneak through thiss-s. (The explosion had now blown up from the tunnels.)

Rabbit: Pooh? Piglet? Tigger? (with his vegetables full) Nobody's here. The nobody blew up my garden.

Pooh: (appears from the vegetable pile with Tigger and Piglet, happily) Hello, Rabbit. Your vegetables went up more than we thought. But at least you've gotten them back.

Piglet: Yes, we saved them from the crows.

Rabbit: Crows took my vegetables?

Pooh: (nodding their heads yes along with Piglet and Tigger) Oh, yes, you see, it all started (giving a friendly hug) when the nobody took Piglet's Pooh. And then the crows took Tigger's voice and hid it with your vegetables, uh, which they kept under the ground, of course. So, you see, Rabbit, you were right all the time. (Piglet's painting of Pooh falls into Rabbit's head.) There is a reasonable explanation for everything.

Piglet: (happily) Look! My painting!

Tigger: I like the polar bear one better.

Pooh: Why, Tigger, you can talk.

Tigger: Of course! (laughing) Hoo-hoo! It's what Tiggers do the best, you know. (Putting his hand on Rabbit's shoulder) My voice must have found me when I was putting back your "vegebibbles." Maybe I was the one who was lost all the time. (laughing) Hoo-hoo!

Gopher: By ding dangy! That showed them! Hmph! Ss-say, what'ss-s wrong with Rabbit? He lookss-s, eh, a bit frazzled.

Rabbit: Nobodies took Piglet's Pooh, (getting a cucumber) then Tigger's voice, (then getting a gourd and a tomato) then my vegetables. But the nobodies were nobody because... it was crows?

Tigger: Hmph! Must have been somethin' I didn't say. (The episode now fades black.)
