The Silent Treatment/Transcript

Buster Baxter: You ever think about all the things we take for granted?

Arthur Read: Like what?

Buster Baxter: Like the little plastic tip of the shoelace! Without this little tip, it'd be really hard to get the lace through the hole.

Arthur Read: Come to think of it, I rarely think about the rest of the shoelace, either.

Binky Barnes: Got it!

(Binky thuds to the ground.)

Arthur Read: Unless it's untied.

Arthur Read: How about the ant? Did you know ants can carry more than twenty times their weight?

Buster Baxter: Ants are amazing!

Arthur Read: I know, and I never noticed that!

Buster Baxter: And what about the good ol' park bench?

Arthur Read: Always there when you need it! And yet, we take it for granted.

Buster Baxter and Arthur Read: (sigh)

George Lundgren: What about noticing me for a change? It's like I'm invisble! What about you guys? Do any of you see me?

(George Lundgren taps the fourth wall's glass to ever desperately get a response from the audience.)

George Lundgren: They forget I was even there? I could've stayed behind that tree forever.

Wally: Well, there are worse places to live. I come from an oak tree myself, and I'm proud of it.

George Lundgren: No one ever pays attention to me. It's like I don't even exist.

Wally: You exist, George! You're just as real as I am!

George Lundgren: You're not real, Wally.

Wally: (gasp) That's a terrible thing to say! If that's the way you feel, then I'm never saying another word.
