Bear arrives on Disney+
Sam and Friends Book(the original white "Say the Word" logo (the logo that has a mouth for it) flashes in front of the full-colored "Say the Word" logo, which is on the game-show podium. This takes place in the game-show studio as the "Say the Word" theme plays.)
Announcer: And now, it's time for another edition of everybody's favorite game-show, "Say the Word!" And here's everybody's favorite game-show host, Guy Smiley!
(as the "Say the Word" logo fades away, the audience cheers as Guy Smiley enters the studio through the curtains.)
Guy Smiley: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is Guy Smiley, everybody's favorite game-show host, with everybody's favorite game-show "Say the Word!" And now, before we begin our game, here's our most beloved frame wall clock! (curtains reveal the clock, which is on the frame wall.) Yes! Now, this is the time to meet our contestants! Here's the one who has a chance to say a word, all the way from Sesame Street, Mr. Blue Johnson!
(the audience cheers as Mr. Johnson (aka Fat Blue) enters the studio.)
Mr. Johnson: Oh, wow! I've never been playing on "Say the Word" before! (To Guy) Oh! It's a pleasure to have me on this show, Guy.
Guy Smiley: Here are the two contestants who have to give out hints of a word, all the way from Cape May, New Jersey, Justin and Joanne Barcelli! Come on in, you guys!
(Justin Barcelli, a green Anything Muppet man with black hair around his bald head and Joanne Barcelli, a lavender Anything Muppet woman with curly hair enter the studio.)
Joanne Barcelli: Oh! Hi, Guy!
Justin Barcelli: How are you doing, Guy?
Guy Smiley: Oh, just great, and I'm glad that you two just came here on time because you're both here to play "Say the Word!"
Justin Barcelli: "Say the Word?" Wow! This could be a fun game!
Joanne Barcelli: Yeah, me too!
Guy Smiley: OK, now all of you start heading to sit at the panel now. (the theme stops playing as Mr. Johnson, Justin & Joanne Barcelli head to the panel to sit down.) All right, here are the rules of the game. (To Justin and Joanne Barcelli) You, Justin and Joanne Barcelli will have to give Mr. Johnson a lot of hints of this game's word. Both of you cannot say that word unless he has the chance to say it before time goes up, now do you two understand?
Justin Barcelli: Ah, yes, I believe so, Guy.
Joanne Barcelli: I understand about how we play the game, Guy.
Guy Smiley: OK, and now I'm going to tell our studio audience and our audience at home what this game's word is. (to cameraman offscreen) Come in close, Mr. Camera! I will tell you what it is! (the camera now pans close to Guy) (now speaking in a very quiet voice) OK, good. Now, the word is...bus. (the rectangular symbol that has the word 'BUS' in front of it flashes on the screen. While it flashes, we see a bus moving to the right.) (audience oohs and aahs) Bus. OK, I will tell both Justin and Joanne what the word is. (To Justin) Justin, the word is...bus.
Justin Barcelli: (in a very whispery voice) Bus?
Guy Smiley: Bus. (to Joanne) Joanne, the word is...bus.
Joanne Barcelli: (in a very whispery voice) Bus?
Guy Smiley: Bus. (little loud) And you two have to give Mr. Johnson clues about this word until the clock reaches to zero! (very loud) OK, do not start until we hear the sound of the bell and it looks like, yes! (extremely loud) HERE COMES THE SOUND OF THE BELL NOW! (bell bongs)
(time-clocking music from "To Tell A Face" and the "Guy Smiley's Studio Audience Lunch" sketch starts playing.)
Justin Barcelli: OK now, a vehicle that has four wheels.
Mr. Johnson: Mmm, can you give me more hints?
Joanne Barcelli: Hmm, a large vehicle.
Mr. Johnson: I don't know! Give me more specific hints!
Justin Barcelli: It's a vehicle that takes you places.
Mr. Johnson: That's too easy! I know an answer for that!
Joanne Barcelli: Well, it's a vehicle that you wait for at the stop.
Mr. Johnson: Oh, please hurry...
Justin Barcelli: Not only it takes you to places, it can always be yellow that takes you to school.
Joanne Barcelli: And it's spelled in three letters.
Mr. Johnson: That's too hard. I don't have much time...
Justin Barcelli: Can we get back to the game?
Mr. Johnson: Oh, please.
Joanne Barcelli: It looks like a yellow van, but it's not the same size as a car.
Mr. Johnson: Ohhhhh...
Justin Barcelli: It can also be in colors when you take it to go to places...
Mr. Johnson: Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I know why I don't have much time!
Joanne Barcelli: But why not?
Mr. Johnson: Because I have to take a BUS to work!!! (bell bong) THAT'S RIGHT! BUS, BUS, BUS!!! (bell bongs three times and the audience cheers. Time-clocking music stops playing)
Guy Smiley: WOW!!!! WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE THE CLOCK HASN'T STOPPED TICKING YET, BUT YES!!! MR. JOHNSON HAS SAID THE WORD 'BUS!!!' (to Mr. Johnson) CONGRADULATIONS, MR. JOHNSON!!!!!
(as the audience cheers, Mr. Johnson, Justin and Joanne Barcelli are still playing the game!)
Justin Barcelli: Oh, so that's why we need to finish this game up so fast. OK, as I was saying, it can also be in colors when you take it to go to places...
Guy Smiley: You don't have to give out any more hints! Mr. Johnson had said the word 'Bus!'
Mr. Johnson: I DID?!?! WOW!
Justin Barcelli: Oh, I didn't know that he said it! (To Mr. Johnson) Great job!
Mr. Johnson: Oh, thank you! Now that the game is finally over, I'm now able to take a bus to work...(the wall collapes as Grover drives into the studio in a bus.)
Grover: Ha-ha! It is I, Grover, and I will be able to take you to work!
Mr. Johnson: Oh, no! It's you again from Charlie's Restaurants! You've been giving me such a hard time all the time!
Guy Smiley: Oh, no! (To Grover) What are you doing here? You supposed to get off the stage!
Grover: No way! I was supposed to pick up this customer!
Joanne Barcelli: Well, you shouldn't be driving that bus into this studio.
Justin Barcelli: And it's unsafe to do it!
Mr. Johnson: But I supposed to be on it immediately!
(as they all start arguing over the bus, the "Say the Word" theme plays. While it plays, the symbol that has the word 'BUS' on it switches to the white and original "Say the Word" logo, flashing on the screen.)
