Segment 1[]

(Don't You (Forget About Me) starts playing)

(Song ends; audience cheers)

Munch: Why do you think everyone's gonna forget about you, Chuck E.?
Chuck E.: Uh.. Munch, that's just the name of the song I was singing. I'm not literally worried about everyone forgetting about me, right Jasper?
Jasper: I'm sorry, have we met?

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: (chuckles) Good one. But seriously, help me out though Jasper.
Jasper: (gasps) How do you know my name? I've never met you in my life!

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: (chuckles) Okay, okay, very funny. Pasqually, will you please help me out with this? Tell Jasper I wasn't singing about literally being forgotten.
Pasqually: Huh, and-a you are..?

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: Come on guys!
Helen: Oh Chuck E., you know they're just kidding around with you. No one could forget about you.. (sighs)

(Audience laughs)

Munch: So let me get this straight, you aren't worried about people forgetting about you?
Chuck E.: No, not really Munch. That was just a song I was singing for all of our friends who are here with us today.
Munch: Yeah! And I guess you don't want them to forget about you.
Jasper: Forget about who?

(Audience and Pasqually laugh)

Helen: (laughs) You guys!
Pasqually: Hey, have you guys ever heard of a record?
Chuck E.: A record, you mean like when you win a race and have the best time?
Munch: Oh yeah, and then you get your name in the book of world records!
Pasqually: No, no, no, no, no, not that a-kind of record. A-the kind of record that a-plays a-music!
Munch: There's a world record for playing music?
Jasper: Oh, there's a world record for pretty much everything Munch.
Munch: Is there a world record for pizza eating?
Jasper: I think you already hold that record Munch.

(Audience laughs)

Helen: What do you mean Pasqually, what is a record?
Pasqually: Well a-before CDs, and a-MP3 a-players, and-a even before cassette tapes and a-8-track a-players. They used to put a-music on a vinyl disk called a record. And it would spin on a device called a turn a-table.
Chuck E.: Yes! I think I know what you're talking about now Pasqually. My hipster friend Chas has one of those.
Jasper: Uh, the guy who wears the V-neck and the skinny jeans?

(Audience and Pasqually laugh)

Chuck E.: That's the guy.
Pasqually: Oh okay, good. Because it's important that you know that for the next a-song.

(You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) starts playing)

(Song ends; audience cheers)

Munch: So let me get this straight, Pasqually has a world record for spinning things around?
Chuck E.: Um. Not exactly Munch, I think you're getting confused again.

(Audience laughs)

Helen: Oh Munch, that was just a figure of speech. Pasqually wasn't really being spun around. Just like Jasper didn't really forget about Chuck E. after that first song.
Jasper: Forget about who?

(Audience laughs; screen cuts to Chas)

Chas: Forget about me, your old buddy Chas? You didn't forget about me, did you guys?
Chuck E.: Oh, hey Chas. No how could we forget about you. What's up?
Chas: You know Chuck. I've kinda been down on the dumps lately.
Chuck E.: Oh, really? I'm sorry to hear that Chas, what's wrong?
Chas: Well, I got a job as a trash collector, and I've just been hanging out in the dumps lately.

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: Oh, I see! Well that's a honest way to make a living, right?
Chas: You can say, I bring home the bacon.
Chuck E.: Oh, so it pays pretty well, huh?
Chas: Heh. No, not really. I found this pig wandering around, brought him home, and named him Bacon.

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: Oh. Is that a good thing?
Chas: He takes the cake.
Chuck E.: Oh, so you really like him?
Chas: Nah, what I mean is, he ate the chocolate cake that my mom made me for my birthday.

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: Geez, that's a bumper.
Chas: Yeah, it's okay though. I just need to get my ducks in a row.
Chuck E.: Gotta get organized, yep I gotcha.
Chas: No. I-na, I-mean, I need to get all these ducks to line up.

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: Uh. Why is that?
Chas: Well duh Chuck. It's because-uhhh..

(Audience laughs)

Chas: Oh. I don't know, guess that didn't really make sense, did it?

(Audience laughs)

Chas: Guess I got a egg on my face.
Chuck E.: Oh don't worry about it, I understand.
Chas: Huh? No, no, no, no, one of the ducks didn't let me line him up, so he threw an egg at my face.

(Audience laughs)

Chas: Can you give me a towel?
Chuck E.: Uhhh.., sure.
Chas: Thanks Chuck! You know, I can count on you.
Chuck E.: No problem.
Chas: One, two, three, four, five.

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: Uhh... What are you doing Chas?
Chas: I'm counting on you Chuck.

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: Okay, okay. I get it.
Chas: Thanks Chuck. Wait, I gotta jet.
Chuck E.: Alright, I see how this works now, you have to physically fly away somewhere on a jet, right?
Chas: Uh. No Chuck, it's a figure of speech.

(Audience laughs)

Chas: Phft. Whatever, I'm out of here, I'm going to listen to some vinyl, catch you on the flip.

(Chas proceeds to flip off-screen)

Jasper: That was exhausting.

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: You said it Jasper. Well I think this is a good time for a break. Uh, not to break something, but-well.. do something else besides being here on stage.. now.

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: Uh, how about some Aquabats? Yeah, take it away guys!

Segment 2[]

(Life is a Highway starts playing)

(Song ends; audience cheers)

Jasper: Ahh... the open road. I just love feeling the wind through my flapping ears, and letting my tongue wag freely in the breeze.
Pasqually: Ah, yeah. I enjoy a-road trips a-too. It a-gives me a chance to catch up on my reading!
Munch: Reading? You really shouldn't read while your driving Pasqually.
Pasqually: Ah, I know that Munch, that's why I listen to audiobooks, yes it's a-very relaxing. Last year, I listened all the way through the Barry Cotter books.
Munch: Uh, don't you mean Harry Potter books?
Pasqually: Who?

(Audience laughs)

Munch: Uhh..
Pasqually: And, I especially love to visit all the strange and interesting places along the way!
Chuck E.: Oh yeah, what kind of strange and interesting places, Pasqually?
Helen: Yes, tell us all about it Pasqually!
Pasqually: Well, last year, I took a drive out west to perform at a folk festival with the acorn boys!
Jasper: The acorn boys?
Pasqually: Yeah, my other band with the squirrels.

(Audience laughs)

Jasper: Oh yeah.. how could we forget?
Pasqually: And a-on the way there, we a-discovered the world's a-largest a-dinosaur, made out of old a-pizza boxes.
Helen: Really? Now that does sound interesting!
Munch: Especially, if you get to eat the pizza first!

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: Wait a minute Pasqually, your squirrel band. I thought you guys broke up?
Pasqually: (sighs) Yes, we did. After Chippa left the band to pursue a career in a-real estate, we tried a-replacing him with a hologram. But it turned out no one wants to see a hologram a-squirrel. (sighs) Not to mention life on the road was a-tough!
Jasper: Ah, nuts.

(Audience laughs)

Helen: Well, I know one thing for sure, I would love to go on a road trip with you Chuck E...
Jasper: Oh boy, here we go again!

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: (nervously laughing) Oh-gee Helen-uhh that sounds like fun..uhh.
Helen: It would be so romantic!
Pasqually: Hey! Be a-sure to bring a microscope, then you can a-stop by the world's a-tiniest a-fireworks a-display.

(Sparks Fly starts playing)

Helen: Oh, we don't need fireworks for the sparks to fly, Pasqually!

(Song ends; audience cheers)

Jasper: Well, all I know is. Whenever I go on a road trip, seems like the only sparks I see are coming from under Uncle Milo's pickup truck.
Chuck E.: Why would sparks come from under your uncle's pickup?
Jasper: It's got a loose muffler.

(MMBB react in disbelief)

Segment 3[]

(Shake Your Groove Thing starts playing)

(Song ends; audience cheers)

Chuck E.: Thanks for singing along everyone, that was super fun! You especially sounded great Pasqually!
Helen: I guess those voice lessons from Steve Waters, your new vocal coach are really paying off, huh Pasqually?
Pasqually: Oh yeah!
Jasper: Hey, what happened to Steve anyway? I thought he was going to be our special guest today.
Pasqually: Well, he had an emergency a-vocal session in Geneva, Switzerland.
Chuck E.: Switzerland, someone important I guess?
Pasqually: It was a-someone named Bando, or Bano, or-I don't a-know. I've never heard of them.
Munch: He probably hasn't heard of you too.

(Audience laughs)

Munch: What I'd say?
Jasper: Personally, I'm glad Steve didn't make it. That guy makes me nervous.

(Audience laughs)

Helen: Oh, I think he's cute, and I like the way he says "BLUEEEE".

(Audiences laughs)

Pasqually: (chuckles) Yeah, yeah.
Jasper: Okay...?
Chuck E.: By the way everyone, I brought a movie for us all to watch later.
Munch: Oh goodie! And then we can eat popcorn too!
Pasqually: I love a-movies, which one is it?
Chuck E.: The Karate Kid.
Helen: Oh, I love Jackie Chan!
Chuck E.: Uh, no Helen. It's the original, starring Ralph Macchio?
Jasper: Nice!
Chuck E.: Yeah, the only problem I can't seem to find it.

(My Karate Kid starts playing)

(Song ends; audience cheers)

Munch: It's always nice when you think you've lost something, and then you find it.
Chuck E.: That's true Munch.
Steve: Happens to be every morning. One day, I found my keys in the freezer.

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: Oh hi Steve! We all thought you were in Switzerland.
Steve: I was in Switzerland, C-Man. But I heard there was going to be a screening of the 1980s classic, "The Karate Kid". So I came home as soon as I could!

(Audience laughs)

Pasqually: (chuckles) Hi Steve!
Steve: What's up, P-Man? Hey, I'm not too late am I, you didn't already watch the movie?
Chuck E.: No, we are all heading over to Pasqually's place to watch it right now.
Steve: Awesome, on the new Plasma, alright! Hey do I need to stop somewhere and get a couple of cases of Pepsi Max? WOAHHH!!

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: (chuckles) That's okay Steve, just bring yourself, okay? See you in a minute!
Steve: Later taters!

(Instrumental to "My Karate Kid" starts playing)

Helen: Oh, I'm so glad Steve will be joining us at our movie party!
Jasper: Eh. I guess it's okay. Not even Steve Waters can diminish the cinematic magic of the Karate Kid.

(Audience laughs)

Munch: As long as there's popcorn, I'm good!
Pasqually: Yeah, plenty of popcorn, Munch. And after the movie, you guys can a-wax my car! (laughs)

(Audience laughs)

Segment 4[]

(Larry Go to the Store starts playing)

(Song ends; audience cheers)

Chuck E.: Great job Steve, but I'm not sure that's how that song actually goes.
Helen: Well I loved it. And I just gotta say, it sure is fun hanging out with you guys!
Pasqually: Yeah, there's a-no place I'd a-rather be, then a-here with all of a-you singing some a-great music!
Munch: And eating pizza!

(Audience laughs)

Jasper: "And eating pizza" Yeah, yeah, yeah. Blah, blah, blah. Come on guys! This is the same old stuff we say every other show. Well where's the creativity, where is the witty repartee? What happened to the banter we used to shared, back in the good old days.
Munch: What's banter?
Pasqually: Repartee?
Chuck E.: Those are words for conversation guys, they describe us talking to each other.
Pasqually: Well, I'm not a-so sure "the repartee" was all that different back in the good old days, a-Jasper.
Jasper: What are you talking about, it was way better!
Helen: You guys are silly!
Munch: Well I have an old script from one of our shows in 1994.
Pasqually: You do?
Munch: Yep.
Chuck E.: Uh, okay Munch. Well, why don't we try it out and see if it's any better?
Jasper: Okay, I'm game. You start Chuck E.
Chuck E.: Alright, here we go.
Chuck E.: (coughs) Thanks everybody, and welcome to the show!
Helen: Chuck E. I'm so glad to be here!
Pasqually: Oh yeah! There is a-nothing I like a-more then being on a-stage with a-great friends and a-making a-great music! Ha Ha!
Jasper: Oh yeah! The music! The laughter! The applause! The smell of pizza!
Munch: Pizza? I love pizza!
Helen: Munch, you love any food!

(Audience laughs)

Munch: Yeah, but especially pizza! I love the gooey cheese, and the tomato sauce, the spices, the pepperoni, the onions, the sausage, the mushroo-
Pasqually: Hey! Why don't I go cook us up a couple of pies with a-everything on them? Ha Ha Ha! Oooh!
Helen: Yeah, make one with just cheese!
Jasper: And one with the works!
Chuck E.: Excuse me guys! Do you mind? We've got a show to do here!
Helen: Oh sorry Chuck E.! We got carried away.
Munch: Yeah, like a boat out to sea.

(Audience laughs)

Chuck E.: Okay, alright. Jasper, seriously, this is working for you? Because it doesn't seem all that different to me.
Jasper: Yeah, I guess you're right Chuck E. The more things change.
MMBB: The more they stay the same!

(Audience and MMBB laugh)

(This Is How We Do It starts playing)

(Song ends; audience cheers)

Pasqually: Hey, a-that was a-great! Now, who a-wants to hear a joke?

(The "Jokes from Pasqually" intro plays)

Jasper: Should I be worried that your theme song is starting to grow on me?
Pasqually: Catchy, isn't it?
Jasper: Yeah, but more like a virus.

(Audience laughs)

Pasqually: (laughs) Okay, okay. You ready? Here goes. Which a-day of the week do chickens hate the most?
Helen: (groans) I don't think I'm going to like this joke...
Chuck E.: We don't know Pasqually, what day of the week do chickens hate?
Pasqually: Fri-day!

(Audience, Munch, Pasqually, and Jasper all laugh)

Pasqually: (laughing) mmmmmm.
Jasper: That's an ender.

(Audience laughs; the instrumental to "This Is How We Do It" starts playing)

Chuck E.: Okay, we gotta run. But don't hurry to worry, we'll be back later with some more fun and music.
Jasper: Okay, okay. You made your point about the dialogue.
Chuck E.: Now repeat after me, Chuck E. chose the cedar, and he chewed the cheese he chose.
Pasqually & Helen: Chuck E. chose the cedar, and he chewed the cheese he chose.

(Audience laughs)

Munch: (laughs) Hey I remember that!
Jasper: Oh brother.. sorry I brought it up.
Chuck E.: (chuckles) Just playing around Jasper.
Pasqually: Hey, remember? a-Destination Imagination? (giggles)
Jasper: Now that was a joke.

(Audience laughs)
