Erin: Well, as long as everyone else is ordering in...(goes to phone)
Storyteller: Oh, for heaven's sake, Erin, for our first night in, let's have something healthy! I can make a rockweed and stewed rubber plant casserole, and a side of...
Erin: (nods) Let's take a vote. All in favor of pizza...
Well, we spend most of the ceremony sitting in the audience, so that at least helps. But yeah, some of those speeches make you long for a set of headphones and tunes (be they CDs or MP3s, whichever you prefer).
But it's good that they don't encourage people to toss their mortarboards - I...
Erin: So is Claudia still rooming with Bunsen and Beaker?
Scooter: Nope - she's rooming with Bunsen, Beaker and Dr. Phil van Neuter.
Erin: Uh-oh - two mad scientists, plus Claudia, in the same room. This could get scary.
Scooter: So do you need to keep these bomb shelter plans?
Erin: We might...
Right - they've got rules against bringing air horns and that stuff into the stadium, whether for sporting events or for big ceremonies. And they tell the parents and friends to keep quiet until everyone's names have been called.
So far, no one's done any stage diving or crowd surfing.
Hmm, yeah, there were a few beach balls tossed around at the ceremony, much to the chagrin of one of the admin higher-ups. But that was pretty much it - the students and parents mostly behaved themselves, as far as I know.
As I recall, some of the profs cut loose a little bit, too - one of the...
Uh-oh...and those tunnels aren't a good place to get lost in.
I think Gillis needs a few pointers on being a good surrogate parent. He's a brilliant musician and composer and all that, and he means well for Tosh, but...
Keep up the good work, Kim!
Yeah, Mom and I think it'd be cool to have Scooter riding on my mortarboard during the procession - but my grandmother's going to have a fit about it. She's going to go on and on about how I'm making a mockery of the solemnity of the occasion and all that rot.
We joked that if we were...
Beige: Mokey's here too? (pokes head out the door) What room is she in?
Storyteller: Hold your horses, Beige, I think she's got someone already.
Beige: What? No - I meant - well, I just wanted to know how she was doing.
Nora: (lurches through, carrying a box of kitchen utensils) Excuse me, I've...
Erin: Scooter? Scooter, are you here...there you are!
Scooter: Hi, Erin, everything going all right?
Erin: Yeah, stuff's on the way. You can go help Ed at the front desk - we can hold down the fort.
Nora: (pulls up on bicycle) Are we moving in?
Erin: We are...and Nora, we've got two new...
Nora: (taking sleeping bag) Thanks for letting me in. My siblings haven't blown up the house yet, but I didn't want to be there when they did.
Erin: No problem. Here - (hands Nora a mug) have some chamomile tea. It'll help you relax a bit.
Nora: Thanks...wonder what happened today?
Erin: Well...
Right - it's really fun to hear (or see) Amanda talking about her crazy, puppet-wielding uncle. She also told us that the family often teased Richard by calling him "King Richard the Perfectly Terrible," and that when she was in the third grade, Richard came to the school one day and put on a...
Hi, Claudia! The more weirdoes we've got in here, the better. And chocolate-coated doughnuts (or donuts, whichever you prefer) are one of Richard's favorite snacks, just so you know.
I wish I had a Muppet plush of some kind - although, Mom and I are planning to make a mini Scooter figure for...
Erin: (on phone) Nora, hold short. I think there's some kind of delay with the move-in.
Nora: What? But my brother is lecturing me on the dangers of hanging out with "weirdoes," and the twins are trying to build a reciprocating engine out of soda bottles, old sink pipes, baking soda and cod...
Nora: (on phone) When do we move in?
Erin: It'll probably be some time tonight, I guess...siblings driving you mad?
Nora: Don't you know it.
Erin: Mmm...well, while you're waiting, come over and have a cup of tea. I was on assignment on Sesame Street a little bit ago, and I stopped into Finders...
**You Are Scooter**
Brainy and knowledgable, you are the perfect sidekick.
You're always willing to lend a helping hand.
In any big event or party, you're the one who keeps things going.
"15 seconds to showtime!"
Okay, so far we've got two Scooters, two Bunsens, one Fozzie and one Rowlf.
(chuckle) Scooter trying to peddle magazines - but I don't think he'd have much luck peddling multiple issues of "Field and Farmer."
You'll like him during the Lou Rawls and Teresa Brewer episodes, trust me. Really liked "Ukulele Lady" and the "alien intruder" on Pigs in Space.
I didn't...
Nora: (on phone to Erin) So when do we move in?
Erin: Tomorrow.
Nora: At least it's Labor Day - I'll have off from the shop.
Erin: Lucky you - due to the whims of the halls of higher education, I'll have classes tomorrow.
Nora: So is it just us, or will we have company?
Erin: We'll know once Ed...
Trust me, you'll love it.
And keep your eyes open; I spotted quite a few tops of heads in season two. Example: in the episode with Bernadette Peters, during "Just One Person," there is a head of brown curly hair right behind and below Scooter. And during the closing number, you can see Dave's...
Frank, do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
Yeah, Frank does kind of strike me as being a bit on the strict side. But he's probably not nearly as uptight as Sam the Eagle. (for if he were, he wouldn't be working with the Muppets)
I know he provided musical commentary on the archery match, but Scooter got to narrate all of the Robin Hood episode, and direct the backstage proceedings? Excellent! Now I really wish Buena Vista would hurry it up with season three.
Scooter certainly seems a good fit as Alan-a-Dale. He does...
