PIGGIE

No, Gerald! It's not just the envelope. I think there's something inside the envelope!

GERALD

(long beat)

My first reaction: not as exciting as an envelope. But I'll take a look.

Gerald grabs for the trumpet, but Piggie moves it away.

PIGGIE

No, Gerald! This trumpet is for listening.

(sing'songy)

Do you want to listen to my trumpet?

GERALD

(genuine)

You can listen to a trumpet? Piggie, you never cease to amaze.

(to St^uirrelles)

PIGGIE

Okay, okay! Here I go!

Piggie puts the trumpet up to her lips and exhales, trying to make a sound. Her cheekspuffout and herface goes pink(er).

(eyes popping, trying to blow air into the trumpet)

Mmmmmmmm... Mmmmmm...

GERALD

(to Squirrelles)

I don't have a good feeling about this.

SFX: TERRIBLE TRUMPET SOUND!

The trumpet makes a loud noise and everyone flies backwards. Amid moaning andgroans the Squirrelles and Gerald help each other up. Piggie looks at her trumpet,quizzically.

PIGGIE

Wait a second. That was not right.

GERALD

PENGUIN

(exiting)

Ice cream! Getcher cold icey-ice cream!

Gerald is alone with his one true love, an ice cream cone.

36 - Elephant & Piccif's "We Are in a P lay I

GERALD

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boyi I love ice cream!

Gerald opens his mouth wide, about to take a big bite.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

(lightbulb)

Wait! Piggie loves ice cream, too. Hmm ... Should I share my ice cream with her?

Gerald holds the cone like Yorick's skull and gets lost in reverie.

Should I share this awesome, Yummy. Sweet. Super. Tasty. Delicious ice cream?Gerald, really tempted to eat it, has a sudden thought.

Heyyy! Maybe Piggie does not like this flavor? Sharing a flavor that Piggie does notlike would be wrong\

Gerald opens his mouth and starts to take a big bite out of the cone.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

But, just before he makes any contact with the ice cream:

Wait! Piggie will like this flavor.

He looks at the ice cream with longing.

(sadly)

It is so yummy.

Gerald looks around, notices the stage is empty.Is Piggie still in the potty? Because, if Piggie's in the potty, then... she doesn't knowI have ice cream!

Gerald opens his mouth and is just about to take a big bite as tfze Squirrelles enter in thebackstage.

Aaaaaaa—

—hem.

SQUIRRELLES

Embarrassed, Gerald pulls the ice cream out ofhis mouth.

GERALD

Wait. This is not right. Piggie is alone.

SQUIRRELLES
