Bear arrives on Disney+
Sam and Friends Book(The scene takes place in the game-show set, similar to the one from BTT with Grover as time-clocking music from BTT with Grover plays.)
ANNOUNCER: And now it's time for the season premiere of everybody's favorite long-running stunt show, "Beat...the...TIME!"
(audience cheers)
(drum roll)
ANNOUNCER: And here is everybody's favorite stunt show host, Guy Smiley!
(audience cheers again. Game-show music from BTT with Cookie Monster plays as Guy Smiley enters through the curtains with a brief struggle and a minor grunt.)
GUY SMILEY: Thank you, thank you, thank you! Hi there and welcome to the 47th season premiere of "Beat the Time", where the stunt show success grows and continues! (game-show music fades away) I am Guy Smiley, everybody's favorite game-show host. And now here is today's contestant.
ANNOUNCER: Today's contestant is Prairie Dawn from Sesame Street.
(audience cheers)
GUY SMILEY: Yes! Now here she is, all the way from Sesame Street, Ms. Prairie Dawn!
(Game-show music plays again as Prairie Dawn enters the studio.)
PRAIRIE DAWN: Thank you! Thank you! It is certainly a pleasure to be here on this show, Guy. (Game-show music fades away again.)
GUY SMILEY: All right, Prairie! Are you ready for today's wacky stunt?
PRAIRIE DAWN: I certainly am, Guy. But what will I win if I complete today's stunt?
GUY SMILEY: Well, Prairie, if you do complete today's stunt, you and your friends from your school will win a fantastic trip!
PRAIRIE DAWN: A trip? Wow! I cannot wait to find out where I'm going.
GUY SMILEY: I will tell you where you are going if you win. But let's get on with the game, OK?
PRAIRIE DAWN: OK, Guy.
GUY SMILEY: All right! As for today's stunt, Prairie, all you will have to do is to find five foods you like to eat for fun!
PRAIRIE DAWN: Gee, this will be a very difficult stunt, Guy.
GUY SMILEY: You bet it is! But can you find them?
PRAIRIE DAWN: I'll give it a best shot.
GUY SMILEY: OK! But you've only got a minute to find them before the clock reaches the buzzer! So are you ready, Prairie?
PRAIRIE DAWN: Yes I am, Guy.
(drum roll)
GUY SMILEY: OK! Ready? Get set....GO! GO, GO!
(Prairie Dawn runs off as time-clocking music from the original BTT with Cookie Monster plays)
GUY SMILEY: Look at her go. Prairie Dawn's got a minute to find five foods you like to eat for fun!
(Prairie Dawn re-enters the studio, carrying a philly cheese steak sandwich.)
PRAIRIE DAWN: I found a philly cheese steak sandwich, Guy!
GUY SMILEY: Wonderful! That's one food you like to eat for fun! Now go find four more foods!
PRAIRIE DAWN: OK, Guy. (runs off again)
GUY SMILEY: Now Prairie Dawn has 54 seconds left to find four more foods you like to eat for fun! Can she do it?
(Prairie Dawn re-enters the studio, carrying a container of French fries.)
PRAIRIE DAWN: I've found some French fries!
GUY SMILEY: Good job, Prairie! That's two foods you like to eat for fun!
PRAIRIE DAWN: Now I have to find three more foods, Guy. (leaves the studio)
GUY SMILEY: Two down and three more to go. (to the audience) Just to let you know, audience, Prairie's got 46 seconds left to find three more foods you like to eat for fun.
(Prairie Dawn re-enters the studio, carrying two hot dogs.)
PRAIRIE DAWN: I found two hot dogs, Guy!
GUY SMILEY: Yippeeee! Hot dog is a food you like to eat for fun, especially when you go to Nathan's hot dog stand at Coney Island.
PRAIRIE DAWN: You bet, Guy! (leaves the studio again)
GUY SMILEY: (to Prairie, who is leaving the studio as for now) Now go find two more foods, Prairie! (to the audience again) Now she's got 35 seconds left to find two more foods you like to eat for fun. Will she be able to find them on time? (looks around for five seconds but Prairie hasn't returned yet) Uh-oh! What's taking her so long? She's got 29 seconds left to find two more foods you like to eat for fun!
(Prairie Dawn re-enters the studio, carrying a large pizza.)
PRAIRIE DAWN: Here's a pizza, Guy! (It's a real pizza from Pizza Hut!)
GUY SMILEY: THAT'S GREAT. PRAIRIE! That's four foods you like to eat for fun! Now keep going!
PRAIRIE DAWN: But wait, Guy, how much time do I have left?
GUY SMILEY: You've got 21 seconds left!
PRAIRIE DAWN: 21 seconds? EEEEK! (runs off again)
GUY SMILEY: Prairie's got 19 seconds left on the clock to find one more food you like to eat for fun. But if she does, she will win a fantastic trip to...
(as Guy speaks, Prairie re-enters the studio with nothing on her hands)
PRAIRIE DAWN: Guy, I cannot find one more food I like to eat for fun!
GUY SMILEY: Well you got 14 seconds left to find one more food you like to eat for fun! GO, GO, GO!
PRAIRIE DAWN: EEEEEEK! (runs off again)
GUY SMILEY: Prairie's got 11 seconds left to find one more food you like to eat for fun! Count down with me, audience. (cuts to the shot of the clock; counting down with the audience) 11...10...9...8...7...6...5...
(As Guy reaches '6', rumbling sounds are heard)
GUY SMILEY: Wait a minute! What's that sound? It can't be....but it's gotta be----!
(Prairie Dawn crashes through the set, carrying a BIG double cheeseburger from Johnny Rocket's Restaurant, including the clock!)
GUY SMILEY: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! Oh, no! (as the big burger almost knocks at him but Prairie picks it up tightly) Aaaah!
PRAIRIE DAWN: Look Guy! I found a big double cheeseburger! It's from Johnny Rocket's Restaurant!
GUY SMILEY: Yes! That's five foods you like to eat for fun and you win a trip with your friends!
(Prairie Dawn's friends, mostly made of Small Orange, Hot Pink, Green and Lavender AM's appear and cheer along with Prairie)
PRAIRIE DAWN & AM KIDS: HURRAY!
GUY SMILEY: The trip you're all going to is the Guy Smiley Casino and Resort Hotel, located at Atlantic City, New Jersey!
(audience cheers loudly; The Shins' "Weird Divide" plays throughout the rest of the game)
PRAIRIE DAWN: Yes! This is like a dream come true! (to all her friends) Come on you guys! Let's get some ice cream on our way to the trip! (leaves the studio, along with her friends)
GUY SMILEY: Well thank you Prairie for playing our game and I hope you and your friends are having a nice time!
(Fat Blue AM stage manager enters the scene.)
FAT BLUE AM STAGE MANAGER (Jerry Nelson): Excuse me, Mr. Smiley, we need to talk. Your parents have called you.
GUY SMILEY: B-b-but why?
FAT BLUE AM STAGE MANAGER: Because they told me that making your contestant steal foods from other people to win a prize is impossible, and that is not a good thing to do for your game, Mr. Smiley! You might get into trouble. (leaves)
GUY SMILEY: But that's not true! I don't think it's impossible to do that! Oh well.
(as Guy concludes this game, Guy Smiley's parents from the BTT fan-fic with Rosita show up)
GUY SMILEY: That's all the time we have for today. So this is Guy Smiley saying "So long for another fun-filled game of "Beat the Time!" (notices that his parents are here and start taking him away) Oh, no! Not you again you two stupid parents of----AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
(the scene cuts to Oscar and Telly watching a game-show at a movie theater.)
TELLY: Hey, Oscar! Would you like to know how many wow's I give Beat the Time? I give it five wow's!
OSCAR: Well I give it four-and-a-half phooey's!
TELLY: Four-and-a-half phooey's? But why? You must give out a nice review on why you like it!
OSCAR: The game was yucky! But the ending was hilarious! I like it when Guy Smiley gets into trouble!
TELLY: That's the only reason why you liked it? Why Oscar, that's not very nice!
OSCAR: Well if you rate the game your way, I'd rate it the other way!
