- Frog: [as he finishes tying string around the box of cookies] There. Now we won't eat any more cookies.
- Toad: [as Frog looks down at the box; matter-of-factly again] But--we can cut the string and open the box.
- Frog: [looking up again and thinking to himself] That is true. Uh, I--I'll put the box up high on the shelf.
- Strange Theater Emcee: Toad will now walk on a high wire, and will not fall down.
- Strange Theater Emcee: [as we hear a drum roll] Presenting the Greatest Toad in All the World!
- [the curtain rises on Toad as we hear an extensive applause, then Toad bows. We see Frog applaud, then Toad bow again]
- Frog: Hurray for Toad!
- [the applause fades]
- Strange Theater Emcee: Toad will now play the piano very well.
- Strange Theater Emcee: Toad will now dance, and he will be *wonderful*.
- Strange Theater Emcee: [as Toad comes back onstage] The Greatest Toad will now...
- Toad: [screams] Shut up! Frog? Frog! Where've you gone?
- [as the curtain falls and the theater starts to darken]
- Toad: Come back, Frog! I'll be lonely! Come baaack!
- [he starts spinning in the dark, falling back into bed]
- Toad: Ohh, I'll be lonely, Frog, come baaack!
- [now we see Toad squirming in bed]
- Toad: Frog, where are you?
- Frog: [approaching Toad's bed, suspecting he had a bad dream; last lines] I'm right here; wake up, Toad.
- Toad: [as he stops squirming and panicking in his nightmare and suddenly sits up to see Frog] Frog, is that really you?
- Frog: Well of course it's me.
- Toad: [getting out of bed] And are you your own right size?
- Frog: Yes, I think so.
- Toad: Frog, I'm so glad that you came over.
- Frog: I always do.
- Toad: [seeing more cookies left after he and Frog eat one last cookie] Frog, let us eat one *very* last cookie, and--then we will stop.
- Toad: [as he and Frog continue eating cookies even after they promise themselves to stop eating them] Mmm, we must stop eating!
- Frog: Yes. We need will power.
- Toad: You--what is will power?
- Frog: Will power is trying hard *not* to do something that you really want to do.
- Toad: You mean like trying *not* to eat all of these cookies?
- Frog: Right. I'll put the cookies in a box.
