BJ Takes the Cake (script)

(we open up at the school and see the kids planning on Michael's birthday)

*		Michael: (First lines) Today is my birthday, Carlos.

*		Carlos: (First lines) You are right, Michael.

*		Shawn: (First lines) We need our help from a friend.

*		Irene: (First lines) What friend?

*		Tosha: (First lines) We need help from...Barney!

*		(the Barney doll comes to life)

*		Barney: (First lines) Woah! I love birthday parties.

*		Kids: Barney!

*		Barney: Hi, everybody! Guess what today is?

*		Michael: My birthday.

*		Barney: That's right, Michael. (music starts for Hooray! It's Your Birthday!) It's a special day for you. Hooray! Today is a very special day. We can't wait to celebrate your birthday. Hooray! Let's play your favorite party games. We'll sing and clap and wish you happy birthday.

*		Carlos: Pin the tail on the donkey if you can. Dance and spin like a top. Find a seat playing musical chairs. When will the music stop?

*		Barney & Kids: Hooray! Today is no ordinary day. We think you're great. Let's celebrate your birthday. Let's hold hands and play "Ring Around the Rosie." I love it when we all fall down. Then we'll pretend that we have a hot potato and pass it all around. Hooray! Today is a very special day. Let's shout "Hooray!" and celebrate your birthday. Hooray! Hooray! It's your birthday! (music ends)

*		Michael: So, here's my cake from my birthday.

*		Barney: Wow! It's a stu-u-pendous cake!

*		(BJ and Baby Bop arrive at the school)

*		BJ: (First lines) Hi, everybody.

*		Baby Bop: (First word) Hi.

*		Barney & Kids: Hi, BJ. Hi, Baby Bop.

*		Michael: Today, it's my birthday.

*		Baby Bop: Your birthday! I sure love your cake.

*		BJ: Me too, Michael.

*		Barney: We better go out to the playground and talk about your birthday, Michael.

*		Michael: Yes, Barney.

*		Barney: So, come on, gang! (they go to the playground, except for BJ and Baby Bop)

*		Baby Bop: Wonder what the frosting tastes like. (she goes to the cake)

*		BJ: Wait a minute Sissy!

*		(Baby Bop dips her finger into the frosting and tastes it)

*		BJ: Aw, yi-yi-yi! Look what you did!

*		Baby Bop: What?!

*		BJ: You'll be sorry! (music starts for When I Get Mad) I am really mad! Sometimes, everybody gets real mad. It's even true for a grown up. So if that feeling gets a hold of you, tell me some things that you might do. Sometimes I run or jump up and down or color with black and red. Or I might hold tight to an old stuffed animal. Mine's a teddy named Fred. Then I talk about my feelings with a friend, or a teacher or my mom or dad. And after I do, it seems to be true that I don't feel so bad. I talk about my feelings when I'm mad. I make a fist or stamp my feet, or scream with lots of power. Or I sing a song that's fast and loud; Once I sang half an hour. Then I talk about my feelings with a friend, or a teacher or a grown-up. And after I do, it seems to be true that I don't feel so bad. I talk about my feelings when I'm mad. Then I talk about my feelings with a friend or a teacher or a grown up. And after I do, it seems to be true that I don't feel so bad. I talk about my feelings when I'm mad. I talk about my feelings when I'm mad!

*		Baby Bop: I'm so sad, BJ. (bawls and turns away)

*		BJ: Well, I am absolutely disgusted!

*		Baby Bop: (still crying) It's not fair! I just wanted to try and taste the frosting from Michael's cake, but you...YOU STOPPED ME!! (wails even louder)

*		BJ: Stop crying, Sissy! You did that on purpose!!

*		Baby Bop: (sniff, sniff) What are you going to do now?

*		BJ: I am going to teach you a lesson! (music starts for I'm Gonna Teach My Sister A Lesson) I'm gonna, I'm gonna teach my sister a lesson. She touched the frosting from somebody else's cake. I gotta get it into something else, that hides it from being touched again. I'm gonna teach my sister a lesson. I'm gonna, I'm gonna teach my sister a lesson. She touched the frosting from somebody else's cake. I gotta get it into something else, that hides it from being touched again. I'm gonna teach my sister a lesson. I'm gonna, I'm gonna teach my sister a lesson. She touched the frosting from somebody else's cake. I gotta get it into something else, that hides it from being touched again. I'm gonna teach my sister a lesson. (music ends)

*		Baby Bop: You made me sad. (continues wailing)

*		(BJ grabs Michael's cake, while Baby Bop wails even harder)

*		Baby Bop: Why did I do that on purpose?!

*		(BJ sets it into a cage and locks it)

*		BJ: There! Nobody can touch it ever again.

*		(BJ goes out into the playground)

*		BJ: Hi, guys. Sissy touched the frosting of the cake.

*		Barney: Oh you should've told me about it. Do you wanna sing John Jacob Jingerheimer Schmidt with us? (music starts for John Jacob Jingerheimer Schmidt)

*		BJ: OK. that could try to make me feel a little better.

*		Barney, BJ & Kids: John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt: His name is my name too! Whenever I go out, the people always shout: "There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schimdt! Da da-da da-da da-da da!" John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt: His name is my name too! Whenever I go out, the people always shout: "There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schimdt! Da da-da da-da da-da da!"

*		BJ: Wow! It's so te-e-riffic! I've got to go rest my eyes off from Sissy touching the frost from Michael's cake. See ya later in 3 hours, everybody. (goes back in the school doors)

*		(fade to BJ resting on the floor)

*		BJ: I hope Sissy would never do it again. Oh, BJ, you are genius. Genius... Genius... (fade to a dream and we see BJ skipping at the playground) Genius... Yes. I am an absolutly completely genius. (chuckles) And that's what I am. (sees Baby Bop, who is now a giant)

*		Baby Bop: Genius?! It wasn't a very nice thing to do, BJ!

*		BJ: (gasps)

*		Baby Bop: And you put Michael's cake in something is a box! You are a bad brother! Now there is '''NO ESCAPE!! DON'T MAKE ME DESTROY YOU!!!'''

*		BJ: I'm sorry! It's just a joke! It's just a joke! (fades back to him still on the floor and yawns) A joooooooooooooooke! Ohhh, it's just a bad dream! Oh, no. When Sissy finds out that I put Michael's cake in the cage, she'll ignore me forever! I've got to put it back to the place it was in earlier before she discovers it. (music starts for Oh! No!) Oh! No! What should I do? I had something happening to me! I had a mishap! Oh, no! Oh! No! What should I do? I had something happening to me! I had a mishap! Oh, no! Oh! No! What should I do?

*		Baby Bop: Oh, BJ!

*		BJ: Oh no! She's coming! (opens the cage quickly and takes the cake out. Then, he closes the cage and locks it and puts the key on the top)

*		Baby Bop: (opens the door) Hi, BJ. How are you this time?

*		BJ: Good. But, it was me. I put Michael's cake in there. I wanted to teach you a lesson for touching the frosting. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

And remember, I love you.
