Sue Ellen Chickens Out/Transcript

#

Mr. Manino: I hope you like it. I won't be making too many more Big Pigs.

Sue Ellen: You can't stop making Big Pigs. They're works of art. The way the raspberry ice cream perfectly complements the double fudge, the Yin Yang of the nuts and cherries. It's poetry in ice cream.

#

Chickin Lickin' commercial.

Beauregard Poulet: Now everyone can enjoy my tasty, tender chickens made with real chicken flavour.

#

At a meeting at the tree house everybody talks about Chickin Lickin’ food. Sue Ellen fires her hairband into the audience.

Sue Ellen: Hello?! Is anybody listening?! This is the Sugar Bowl we're talking about. You know, the place where we hang out every single day?!

#

In her imagination, Sue Ellen and her friends have chained themselves to the outside of the Sugar Bowl.

Buster: Why couldn't we have chained ourselves to the inside of the Sugar Bowl? I'm hungry.

#

Buster: Sorry, Sue Ellen, Arthur can't help us make signs. He has a piano lesson. But I did bring someone else along.    

Binky looks out of the treehouse.

Binky: Yeah, I love a good protest. Down with homework! No more tests!

Sue Ellen: We're not protesting school. We are protesting a new Chickin Lickin'.

Binky: Oh! Okay. Down with chicken! No more eggs!

#

The kids practice their protest chants.

Sue Ellen: One, two, three, four, tell them what we are fighting for

Kids: Five, six, seven, eight, keep your chickens off our plate!

Buster: How come we never count past eight? Won't our audience at the mall get bored?

Sue Ellen: We're not going there to entertain people, Buster. We want them to notice us. Besides, there aren't any good rhymes for nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

Binky: What about "This noble goal we can not shelve"? Or we could skip twelve and go right to thirteen. There are some good rhymes for that. Mean, bean, green...

Sue Ellen: Can we just get back to marching, please?

#

Muffy has invited Sue Ellen into the limo.

Muffy: You know, Sue Ellen, it's really a pity we don't hang out more. I have admired you since we were little kids.

Sue Ellen: I haven't even been here a year, Muffy. You didn't know me when I was a little kid.

#

Muffy: Your protest isn't going to work, anyway. Do you really think a couple of kids are gonna change the mind of a multi-million-dollar corporation? Especially when two of them are Buster and Binky?!

#

Beauregard Poulet: Ho-ho! Looks like this little girl just can't wait to get her hands on my crispy Lickin'...

Sue Ellen: I don't want your chicken! I want you to stay away from our Sugar Bowl!

Beauregard Poulet: Er, come again?

Sue Ellen: Please, Mr. Poulet. I know you're a businessman and need to make money, but can't you open up your new store someplace else?     Mr. Poulet walk over to her and briefly removes his fake beard.

Beauregard Poulet: Look, kid, I'm just an actor. There is no Beauregard Poulet. If you've got a problem, complaint forms are in the restaurant. Now, can you step aside and let me do my job?
