Sleeping Bassoon/Transcript

June: Art... Variegated Black. Painted by Wassily Kandinsky.

Annie: And music...

["Wedding March" playing]

Leo: Wedding March. Written by Felix Mendelssohn.

[Fanfare playing as the scene starts that the Little Einsteins are in the Rocket Room of reading all fairy tales]

Quincy: Hey, I'm Quincy. My friends and I are reading some of our favorite fairy tales. Do you like fairy tale stories? I love fairy tales!

Leo: What's your fairy tale, Quincy?

Quincy: That's easy. My favorite story is the story of Sleeping Bassoon.

[He begins reading]

Quincy: Once upon a time, there was a beautiful instrument who lived inside a big castle. Her name was Princess Bassoon.

Annie: Ooh, what an elegant princess.

Quincy: Princess Bassoon played the happiest song in all the land.

[Princess Bassoon playing "Wedding March"]

Quincy: Instruments from all over the kingdom would come to hear the princess play her happy song.

Annie: The princess' song makes everyone feel happy.

Quincy: Not everyone. There's one person that doesn't like her happy music. Do you see who it is? Yes. It's that wizard.

Leo: He looks like a grumpy wizard.

Quincy: The grumpy wizard doesn't like the princess' happy song. He doesn't like it when anyone is happy.

June: Uh-oh. He's taking out his wand.

Annie: And he's putting a magic spell on Princess Bassoon!

Leo: It's a sleeping spell!

Quincy: Oh, no! The sleeping spell made the princess fall into a deep sleep, and nothing can wake her up!

June: But there must be some way to break the spell, right, Quincy?

Quincy: Hmm. There is one way to break a sleeping spell. If someone can play the princess her happy song, she'll wake up again.

Annie: Look, look, look. The clairnet is going to try to wake her up.

[Clarinet playing discordantly]

June: But the clairnet can't play the princess' happy song.

Leo: Now the violin wants to try.

[Violin plays Serenade In G Major K. 425 {Eine Kleine Nachtmusik}: Rondo\Allegro by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]

Annie: But he can't play her happy song, either.

Quincy: Poor Princess Bassoon.

Annie: There must be someone who can play her happy song. Fairy tales are supposed to have happy endings.

Leo: Quincy, you should try to play the happy song! You're great at playing instruments!

Quincy: Yeah! Maybe I can play the princess' happy song on my trumpet. Do you think I can play the princess' happy song? Ok. Here I go.

[Trumpet playing "Wedding March"]

Leo: That's it, Quincy!

Annie: You're doing it.

June: Hurray!

Annie: Yahoo!

Quincy: I can do it! I can play the princess' happy song!

Leo: Quincy, that means you can break the sleeping spell!

Annie: You're the only one who can save her!

June: But the castle is far away, in Elsinore, Denmark.

Leo: And we need to hurry! Look! If all the purple pebbles fall to the bottom of that hourglass, the sleeping spell will last forever!

Annie: Ooh!

Quincy: Then I have to save her. Princess Bassoon needs me!

Leo: All right!

Annie: Yay, Quincy!

June: You're very courageous!

Quincy: But I'm going to need your help. Will you help me save Princess Bassoon? Great.

[Baton jingles]

Leo: We've got a mission! We're going to help Quincy wake up the princess! Let... the mission... begin!

[Door closes]

Leo: Buckle your seatbelts.

All except Leo: Seatbelts buckled!

Leo: Prepare for blast off!

Leo: We need to give Rocket a lot of power.

Leo: Put your hands on your lap and pat with us.

Leo: Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

Leo: Faster!

Leo: Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

Leo: Now raise your arms as high as you can and say blast off!

All: Blast off!

Annie: Hold on tight, 'cause here we go!

All: Whoa!!

Leo: Whoo-hoo!

Quincy: All right!

Leo: We're off to help Quincy wake up Princess Bassoon.

[Quincy plays his trumpet as Annie prepares to sing with her microphone!]

Annie: ♪Quincy will play the song and wake up the beautiful princess!♪♪

June: Look over there, team!

June: We made it to Denmark!

Leo: Rocket sees something.

Leo: That sign says to follow the path to Princess Bassoon's castle.

June: But the path goes through an enchanted forest.

Annie: Oh.

Annie: An enchanted forest?

Annie: That sounds ominous.

Quincy: Well, enchanted or not, it's the only way to get to Princess Bassoon's castle, so that's the way I'm going.

Leo: Well, then, we're going with you.

June: That's right.

Annie: Yeah.

[Trees rustling of a growl]

Annie: Hey.

Annie: I think that tree just growled at me.

[Evil flowers snarling]

June: And I'm pretty sure those flowers just snarled at me.

Leo: Don't worry.

Leo: This forest can't stop us, as long as we stick together and stay on the path.

Quincy: Uh-oh.

Quincy: That sounds like...

All: The grumpy wizard!!

Leo: And he's using his magic!

Annie: Yikes!

Annie: A roaring toadstool.

Leo: The grumpy wizard is trying to block our path.

Quincy: He'll do anthing to stop me from getting to the princess.

June: Don't worry.

June: I have a plan.

Quincy: I cannot believe it!

Leo: June pushed the roaring toadstool back to the ground.

Annie: Yay, June!

Annie: Uh-oh.

Annie: Now the grumpy wizard is putting lots and lots of toadstools in our way.

June: How am I going to push down all those toadstools?

Quincy: I can help you, June.

Quincy: I can play a roaring toadstool rhythm for you on my cymbals.

June: Perfect.

June: I'll jump whenever I hear a cymbal crash.

Quincy: Come on.

Quincy: I need you to play the roaring toadstool rhythm with me.

Quincy: Hold up your cymbals and clap them to the rhythm like this.

Quincy: Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

Quincy: Do it with me.

Quincy: Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

Quincy: Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

Quincy: That's it.

June: Whoo-hoo!

Quincy: All right!

Leo: Uh-oh.

Leo: Here come toadstools that are evn bigger.

June: And louder.

Quincy: We have to help June do even bigger jumps.

Quincy: Play your cymbals louder!

Quincy: Forte!

Quincy: Even louder!

Leo: All right!

Annie: Hooray!

Quincy: I cannot believe it!

Quincy: We helped push down all the roaring toadstools!

June: Thanks for playing your cymbals for me.

Quincy: And thank you for doing all those ballet jumps.

Leo: You guys, look.

Leo: A roaring toadstool popped up right under the grumpy wizard.

Annie: And it bounced him way off into the forest.

June: Now's our chance.

Leo: To the castle.

Quincy: We have to play the princess her happy song before it's too late.

Annie: ♪Quincy will play the song and wake up the beautiful princess!♪♪

June: Wow!

June: Look at those humongous cliffs!

Quincy: Those are the chalk cliffs, Mons Klint.

Leo: And the road to the castle is right over there.

Annie: But it's on the other side of the water.

Quincy: Whoa, cool.

Quincy: Rocket turned himself into a viking ship.

Leo: Great idea, Rocket!

Leo: We can sail across the water in our very own Rocket Viking Ship.

Leo: This way, Little Einsteins!

Quincy: Uh-oh.

Quincy: That sounds like the grumpy wizard.

Quincy: Do you see the grumpy wizard?

Quincy: You're right.

Quincy: He's up on top of the Mons Klint.

June: Oh, no!

June: The wizard put a magical spell on Rocket.

Leo: And he's pulling Rocket the wrong way.

Annie: We have to help Rocket before he gets pulled to those cliffs.

Quincy: I have an idea.

Quincy: I can play a song on my trumpet that will help Rocket sail the right way.

June: Yeah.

June: Try it, Quincy.

Leo: You can do it.

Leo: It's working, Quincy.

June: But Rocket needs more help.

Annie: I know what to do.

Annie: Quincy can play his trumpet, and I can sing.

Annie: ♪Sail this way, Rocket Viking Ship.♪

Annie: ♪Sail this way, Rocket Viking Ship.♪

Leo: Way to go, Annie!

June: You and Quincy are helping Rocket go the right way.

Annie: But Rocket needs even more help.

Annie: I need you to sing with me.

Annie: Sit up straight and hold up your microphone.

Annie: Now sing.

Annie: ♪Sail this way, Rocket Viking Ship.♪

Annie: ♪Sail this way, Rocket Viking Ship.♪

Annie: It's working!

Annie: Rocket is sailing the right way.

Leo: But the grumpy wizard isn't giving up.

Leo: He's making his musical spell stronger.

June: And he's pulling Rocket back the wrong way.

Quincy: We need to be even louder.

Annie: Sing louder with me.

Annie: ♪Sail this way, Rocket Viking Ship.♪

Annie: ♪Sail this way, Rocket Viking Ship.♪

Annie: He's almost there.

Annie: Just a little louder.

Annie: ♪Sail this way, Rocket Viking Ship.♪

Annie: ♪Sail this way, Rocket Viking Ship.♪

Leo: Hooray!

June: That was wonderful!

Quincy: We did it!

Quincy: Our song worked!

Annie: Thanks for singing with me.

June: And look, a wave hits the cliffs.

Leo: And the grumpy wizard got splashed by the water.

Leo: Come on, team.

Leo: We've got to hurry.

Quincy: I have to play the princess her happy song before all the pruple pebbles fall to the bottom of the hourglass.

Annie: ♪Quincy will play the song and wake up the beautiful princess!♪♪

Quincy: Uh-oh.

Quincy: Who does that sound like?

Quincy: The wizard!

Quincy: Right.

Quincy: He's back, and he's point his wand at my trumpet.

June: Oh, no! He took Quincy's trumpet!

Annie: This is terrible.

Quincy: I need my trumpet! I can't wake up Princess Bassoon without it!

[Trumpet playing]

Leo: Wait. Rocket hears something. Listen.

Quincy: It sounds like my trumpet.

June: The sound is coming from inside the wizard's workshop.

Quincy: That must be where the grumpy wizard is hiding my trumpet.

Quincy: Come on, team!

[Action music playing from Season 1's Curtain call]

Annie: So this is where the grumpy wizard makes his magic spells and potions.

June: Quincy's trumpet must be hidden in here somewhere.

Leo: Let's see if the trumpet is over here.

Quincy: Listen carefully.

[Baton tapping]

[Flute playing]

Quincy: Does that sound like my trumpet?

Quincy: No.

Quincy: He doesn't have my trumpet.

Leo: Let's try over there, Quincy.

[Trumpet playing]

Quincy: Does that sound like my trumpet?

Quincy: Yes!

Quincy: That's it!

Quincy: We found my trumpet!

Annie: Yay, Quincy!

June: We knew you could do it.

Quincy: Now I can play Princess Bassoon her happy song and break the sleeping spell.

June: That sounds like the instruments back at the castle.

Annie: They sound worried.

Quincy: Do you see the princess' castle?

Quincy: Oh, yes!

Quincy: There it is.

Leo: But, Look.

Leo: There are only three purple pebbles left in the hourglass.

Quincy: How will I ever get there in time to save Princess Bassoon?

[Rocket jingles of preparing his new power]

Quincy: That's right.

Quincy: Super fast!

Leo: We're going have to fly Rocket as fast as he can go: Super fast!

Leo: Will you help me fly Rocket super fast?

Leo: Great!

Leo: Super fast!

All except Leo: Super fast!

Leo: To get to super fast, we have to start at adagio. Pat the beat on your lap slowly.

Leo: Moderato. Now pat the beat on your tummy a little faster.

Leo: Allegro! Now pat the beat on your shoulders even faster.

Leo: Presto! Now reach your arms to the sky and shake your whole body!

Leo: We did it! We're flying super fast!!

June: We made it to the castle!

Annie: And there's Princess Bassoon. She's still sleeping.

Leo: But look. There are only two purple pebbles left.

Quincy: Here I come, princess.

June: Uh-oh. Another purple pebble fell in the hourglass.

Annie: Now how many pebbles are left? One purple pebble! Right!

Leo: Hurry, Quincy! Play the princess her happy song!

[Playing "Wedding March" on trumpet]

Annie: She's starting to wake up!

Leo: The time is running out! The last purple pebble is starting to fall!

Quincy: I need you to play the trumpet with me so we can wake up the princess. Come on! Hold up your trumpet like this and wiggle your fingers to push the valves. Now play your trumpet!

[Playing "Wedding March]

Quincy: That's it! Keep playing!

[Playing louder]

Annie: Look, look, look! The last little pebble fell to the bottom of the hourglass!

[Playing even louder]

[Princess Bassoon awakens]

Quincy: Did we wake up Princess Bassoon?

Quincy: Yes! We broke the sleeping spell!

Leo: You did it!

Annie: Hooray!
