(The opening starts at the park where a banner is hung advertising Chuck E. Cheese's Sports Day. Pans to below where Chuck E. and friends are doing warm-ups; focuses on Chuck E., who is dressed in sports attire and stretching when he notices the viewer.)
- Chuck E.: Hi, everyone! Chuck E. Cheese here! And you're just in time for a really amazing event; it's the Chuck E. Cheese's Sports Day!
- Pasqually: Oh, Chuck E., I just love Sports Day!
- Jasper: Yeah! All the running and racing and the racing while running... I can't wait!
- Chuck E.: On Sports Day, Charlie and some of his classmates compete with us against another school in five amazing events...
(He mimes each respective sport as mentioned.)
- Chuck E.: Baseball toss, skipping rope, bicycle racing, rock climbing, and my favorite: the basketball free throw!
- Helen: We're each gonna compete in a different event, and the winning team gets a shiny gold medal!
- Munch: This year we're competing against Wolfgang Elementary, and they've won five years in a row!
- Chuck E.: But this year will be the first time Chuck E. Cheese's wins every event, if we all work together, that is!
(Music to "It's Sports Day" starts.)
All: Hey, hey, it's Sports Day today
We're gonna play lots of sports today
Hey, hey, it's Sports Day today
Let's all get sporty, come, let's play
Chuck E.: Are you ready to get on the field
And have a ball today?
We're gonna be athletic
The sports are on their way
Helen: Running, jumping, skipping, too
And tossing balls are fun to do
Jasper: And who knows how much excitement we have
For our big day of sports today?
All: Hey, hey, it's Sports Day today
We're gonna play lots of sports today
Hey, hey, it's Sports Day today
Let's all get sporty, come, let's play
(A school bus pulls up at the park entrance; off comes Mrs. Miller, Charlie, and the following kids: Matt, Brandon, Katie, Tiffany, Jessica, William, Abby, Megan, and David. They are all wearing sports jerseys of varying colors, and Mrs. Miller is wearing sweats.)
- Munch: Hey, look! Charlie and his class are here!
(They all chatter excitedly and rush over to them.)
- Kids: Hi, Chuck E.!
- Chuck E.: Hello, everyone! Are you excited for Sports Day?
- Kids: YEAH!!!
- Charlie: I'm more than excited, Chuck E.! I can't wait to win a medal! And this'll be my first medal ever!
- Chuck E.: Well, I hope you do win one, Charlie! This year, Chuck E. Cheese's is gonna win every sport!
- Mrs. Miller: I sure hope so! That is, if we all work together and play as a team.
- Chuck E.: That's true, Mrs. Miller! (giggles)
All: Hey, hey, it's Sports Day today
We're gonna play lots of sports today
Hey, hey, it's Sports Day today
Let's all get sporty, come, let's play
Hey, hey, it's Sports Day today
We're gonna play lots of sports today
Hey, hey, it's Sports Day today
Let's all get sporty, come, let's play
(Song ends; they all cheer. Suddenly...)
- Woman's voice: Hello? Is this where the Chuck E. Cheese's Sports Day is taking place?
- Chuck E.: Indeed it is; come on!
(Enters a woman dressed in coach gear; the kids voice astounded comments.)
- Jasper: Hey Chuck E., who's your friend here?
- Chuck E.: Jasper, kids, this is Trixie, our Sports Day announcer. I've hired her 'cause of her enthusiasm.
- Trixie: That's right, Chuck E.! No Sports Day is complete without the perfect announcer to well... announce for them.
(All laugh.)
- Brandon: Yeah! This'll be great! I sure hope we're as good as the Wolfgang Elementary team.
- Matt: They don't stand a chance against us!
- Trixie: Well, Brandon, Matt, if you're gonna be as good as Wolfgang Elementary, you have to be good sports.
- Megan: Good sports? What are good sports?
- Chuck E.: A good sport is someone who always plays by the rules. And they have to be kind and supportive of others, even when they don't win.
(A loud whistle is heard blowing; footsteps are heard.)
- Boy's voice: Hey, Chuck E. Cheese Team!
(Right behind them comes the Wolfgang Academy team, following behind their male teacher in a jog.)
- Wolfgang Boy 1: You're never gonna win against us!
- Wolfgang Girl 1: Yeah! Wolfgang always wins!
(They laugh loudly and slip away.)
- Jasper: Man, those Wolfgang kids were mean!
- Jessica: They teased us!
- Katie: That's not nice!
- Chuck E.: Katie, Jessica, you're right. Good sports never tease the opposite team! And they shouldn't boast about themselves, either.
- Helen: You need to know everything about being good sports if we're gonna be on a good team together!
(Music to "Be a Good Sport" starts.)
Chuck E.: We're gonna play some sports today
Hurrah, hurrah
But listen up please, if you may
Hurrah, hurrah
You need to be a good sport, you see
They play by the rules and we agree
Good sports, they always win
Jasper: We must be nice, we can't be mean
Kids: Hurrah, hurrah
Munch: The friendliest team you've ever seen
Kids: Hurrah, hurrah
Helen: Listen to what your coach may say
Pasqually: And never cheat, please don't delay
Chuck E.: Be a good sport and you can win
Kids: We shouldn't boast, and never tease
It's not friendly, so we please
If we learn to work together
We'll be the greatest team yet!
All: Be a good sport and you'll succeed
Hurrah, hurrah
That is the Sports Day guarantee
Hurrah, hurrah
Just as awesome as we can
We must be friendly, that's our plan
'Cause good sports always win!
(Song ends.)
- Chuck E.: The point is, if we all be good sports and work together, then maybe, just maybe, we could win!
- Tiffany: What sports will you be doing, guys?
- Jasper: I'm gonna toss some baseballs!
- Helen: I'll be skipping rope!
- Munch: I'm riding a bicycle in a race!
- Pasqually: I'm in the rock climb!
- Chuck E.: And I'll be doing the free throw!
- Mrs. Miller: Those are great sports! Okay, children. One of you will each join Chuck E. and his friends for a different sport of choice.
- William: How will we know who is competing in what sport?
(Trixie comes over holding a small paper bag.)
- Trixie: I've written each of your names and put them in this bag. One at a time, I'll draw the name of whoever is going to be participating in the sport as decided.
(All listen in.)
- Trixie: First up, competing in the baseball toss with Jasper...
(She reaches a hand in the bag, shuffles around, then takes out one randomly chosen name.)
- Trixie: ...Matt!
(Applause from everyone.)
- Matt: Yes! I love tossing baseballs!
(He walks over and stands beside Jasper.)
- Jasper: Welcome to the team, Matt!
(They high five.)
- Trixie: Next, joining Helen for the skip rope...
(More shuffling; she picks another name.)
- Trixie: ...Abby!
(More applause; Abby stands next to Helen.)
- Helen: Hey, Abby!
- Abby: Hi, Helen! I can't wait to skip rope!
- Trixie: In the bicycle race with Munch...
(More shuffling; another name is drawn.)
- Trixie: ...Brandon!
(More applause; Brandon goes over to Munch.)
- Brandon: I'm ready to ride a bike, Munch!
- Munch: Good sportsmanship, Brandon!
(They fist bump.)
- Trixie: In the rock climb with Pasqually...
(More shuffling; another name.)
- Trixie: ...Jessica!
(Applause; Jessica goes to Pasqually.)
- Jessica: Ready for some climbing, Pasqually?
- Pasqually: I say we ascend to victory!
(Both laugh.)
- Trixie: All right, kids! And finally, participating in the last event with Chuck E., the basketball free throw, is...
(One last round of shuffling; all watch intently. After some suspense, she draws the final name.)
- Trixie: ...Charlie!
(All applause; only Charlie is nervous.)
- Charlie: Uh-oh...
(But without hesitation, he takes his spot next to Chuck E.)
- Chuck E.: Oh, hey, Charlie! We're gonna toss basketballs together, won't that be fun?
- Charlie: Um...I guess so?
- Mrs. Miller: All right! Our teams have been decided! You are free to practice until it's time for the first event. Trixie will let us know when it's time.
- Trixie: And remember, be good sports!
(All voice agreeing comments; changes to much later at the playground. The friends and their chosen children teammates are warming up. Jasper and Matt toss baseballs; Helen and Abby skip rope; Munch helps Brandon ride his bike; Pasqually and Jessica practice some climbing on the jungle gym; but Charlie just stares at the basketball court with visible worry.)
- Chuck E.: You okay, Charlie? Shouldn't you be practicing like everyone else?
- Charlie: Well... to be honest... I don't know.
- Chuck E.: What's the matter?
- Charlie: Chuck E., I'm not very good at basketball, at all! I can't even shoot a basket! I'm even the only one in class who can't shoot a basket, once!
(He walks into the court and shoots the basketball he's holding; the ball barely makes it to the hoop and misses.)
- Charlie: See?
- Chuck E.: You're not kidding, Charlie!
(He exits the court.)
- Charlie: I've even been trying to shoot baskets on the school playground, and I never make it! Why did Trixie have to put me in the free throw?!
- Chuck E.: I'm sorry, Charlie. I talked with Trixie earlier, but she says once you've been picked, you can't switch or step out. It's the rule.
- Charlie: How am I gonna be able to shoot a basket and beat those Wolfgang kids?!? (groans loudly)
- Chuck E.: Easy, easy, Charlie! Calm down! First things first; we need to be good sports, remember?
- Charlie: Oh, yeah. Good sports. Got it.
- Chuck E.: Now, the best way to make a basket is with a little bit of practice. The more you try, the more you get better.
- Charlie: Even if I keep missing?
- Chuck E.: That's right!
(Music to "Practice Makes Perfect" starts.)
Chuck E.: You say you're not good at something,
It seems real hard to do
But please don't worry, there need no hurry,
Here's some advice for you
We learn from our mistakes
We get better every time
So don't you dare stop where you're at,
Take this hint of mine
Practice makes perfect
Keep at it 'til you make it
Practice makes perfect
Move it, groove it, shake it
Everybody, when we play
Keep practicing, and come what may
Practice makes perfect
And soon you'll be the best
- Charlie: You're right, Chuck E.! All I have to do is practice! But... can I try on a smaller hoop first?
- Chuck E.: Sure! You can practice on this little hoop right here. Just start shooting from up close, and if you wanna try a bigger challenge, try getting further away.
- Charlie: Okay, here goes!
(He faces the little hoop and shoots successful baskets, one after the other.)
Chuck E.: When there's something where you're just not right
And life just seems too foul
Don't turn away, don't be upset,
And never throw in the towel
Just keep your eyes on the prize
And your feet on the ground
I bet you'll be the best player in town
'Cause all it takes is just a few mistakes
To lift you up when you're down
Practice makes perfect
Keep at it 'til you make it
Practice makes perfect
Move it, groove it, shake it
Everybody, when we play
Keep practicing, and come what may
Practice makes perfect
And soon you'll be the best
Yes, practice makes perfect
And soon you'll be, I know you'll be
Soon you'll be... the best!!!
(Song ends; they high five.)
- Chuck E.: Nice practicin', Charlie!
- Charlie: Yeah!
(The sound of feedback rings out; Trixie's voice comes out of the loudspeaker above.)
- Trixie: Attention everyone! The baseball toss is starting! All competitors gather on the soccer field right away!
- Chuck E.: Hey, that's Jasper and Matt's challenge! Wanna take a break and go see 'em?
- Charlie: Sure!
- Chuck E.: Do you wanna watch the baseball toss, too? All right! Let's go!
(They all hurry off; cuts to the field where the baseball toss is taking place. Jasper, Matt, and two Wolfgang kids are in separate lanes facing goal posts before them, with Trixie in between. The other spectators and competitors stand behind them.)
- Trixie: Hello, everyone! And welcome to the first round of the Chuck E. Cheese's Sports Day: The baseball toss!
(Applause from everyone off the field.)
- Trixie: Your goal is to toss as many baseballs as you can through those holes to score points. The team that has the highest score after two rounds wins the first game!
- Matt: And get their medals, too?
- Jasper: That's about the gist of it!
- Wolfgang Boy 1: You are never gonna win this game! Wolfgang has won the past five years, and there's no way you're gonna beat us in all the events!
- Wolfgang Boy 2: Yeah! Mr. Stonewall trained us all month for this!
- Wolfgang kids: LOSERS!
(They all laugh loudly.)
- Chuck E.: Hey, no teasing!
- Charlie: Ooh, those Wolfgang kids are really mean! They're not being good sports at all!
- Jasper: Don't listen to 'em, Matt. We're good sports, and we can do this.
- Matt: Are you sure we're gonna do great, Jasper?
- Jasper: I'm sure I'm sure!
- Mrs. Miller: Come on, Matt and Jasper! Show those Wolfgang kids what you've got!
- David: Yeah! You can do it!
- Chuck E.: You've got this, Jasper and Matt!
- Jasper: Thanks, Chuckster!
- Trixie: Okay, everyone, places!
(They all step up to their baseball bins and face the goal posts.)
- Trixie: Ready... set... go!
(She blows her whistle, and the baseball toss is on! Both teams start throwing baseballs into the goal posts as the spectators cheer them on. Trixie flips the numbers on a scoreboard to score for both teams.)
- Mrs. Miller: Come on, Chuck E. Cheese team!
- Mr. Stonewall: Go, GO! Throw like a Wolfgang can!
(Music to "Bend Me, Shape Me" starts.)
Jasper: You are all the team that I need
And fellas, you know it
Matt and Wolfgang Boys: (Know it, know it, know it)
Jasper: You can make this beggar a king
A clown or a poet
Matt and Wolfgang Boys: (Poet, poet, poet)
Jasper: I'll give you all that I own (Ooooooh...)
You got me standing in line
Out in the cold, pay me some mind
Jasper, Matt, and Wolfgang Boys: Bend me, shape me any way you want me
As long as you love me, it's all right
Bend me, shape me any way you want me
You got the power to turn on the light
- Trixie: End of round one! Score is tied 50-50! This next round will be the decider!
- Chuck E.: Go, Jasper and Matt! You've got this!
- Helen: (dancing with pom poms; chanting:) Go, Jasper and Matt! Go, Jasper and Matt! Everyone!
- All spectators: Go, Jasper and Matt! Go, Jasper and Matt!
(The final round begins.)
Jasper: Everybody tells me I'm wrong
To want this so badly
Matt and Wolfgang Boys: (Badly, badly, badly)
Jasper: But there's a force that's driving me on
I'd follow it gladly
Matt and Wolfgang Boys: (Gladly, gladly, gladly)
Jasper: So let them laugh, I don't care (Ooooooh...)
Cause I got nothing to hide
All that I want
Is you on our side
(Applause.)
Jasper, Matt, and Wolfgang Boys: Bend me, shape me any way you want me
As long as you love me, it's all right
Bend me, shape me any way you want me
You got the power to turn on the light
Trixie: Only a few balls left!
Jasper, Matt, and Wolfgang Boys: Bend me, shape me any way you want me
As long as you love me, it's all right
Bend me, shape me any way you want me
You got the power to turn on the light
(Song ends, but music still continues.)
- Trixie: The Wolfgang Team just threw their last ball! Score is Wolfgang: 89, Chuck E. Cheese's: 80! The Chuck E. Cheese team needs to throw their last ball into the 10 point hole if they want to win this event!
- Wolfgang Boy 1: You will never make this last ball!
- Wolfgang Boy 2: Let's see what you've got! (makes raspberry)
- Jasper: Oh, boy...
- Megan: Come on, Matt and Jasper! Prove them wrong!
- Katie: Yeah, you've got this!
(Everyone cheers for them; Jasper picks up the last ball.)
- Jasper: Okay... this is for you, guys!
(Jasper faces the goal post and throws his final ball. In slow motion, the ball flies through the air and everyone watches intently... and the ball flies right through the 10 point hole! Everyone applauds loudly, and Trixie flips the CEC team's score to 90.)
- Trixie: And the Chuck E. Cheese team wins!!!
(More wild applause; Mr. Stonewall and the Wolfgang boys groan and yell in anger. Music ends.)
- Charlie: Matt, Jasper, you did it! You won the baseball toss!
- Matt: Yeah, and we've been really good sports, haven't we, Jasper?
- Jasper: We sure did, Matt!
- Matt: I can't wait to get my medal!
(Feedback over the speaker.)
- Trixie: Everyone, please gather by the park pavilion! The skip rope contest is starting in a few minutes!
- Chuck E.: That's Helen and Abby's game! Come on, Charlie, let's go check it out!
- Charlie: Right behind you, Chuck E.!
(They run off. Cuts to just near the park pavilion; Helen, Abby, and two Wolfgang girls are on the grass, each holding a skip rope. Trixie steps forward.)
- Trixie: For this round, your goal is to out-skip the rival team. Mess up your skip, and you're out! The last team with a competitor still remaining wins the second game!
- Wolfgang Girl 1: Your skip roping will never be as good as ours!
- Wolfgang Girl 2: We're much better at skipping rope than you!
- Abby: They teased us again!
- Helen: Don't worry, Abby. We're good sports, and we've trained for this.
- Trixie: Okay, girls! On your mark, get set, skip rope!
(She blows her whistle, and the skip roping begins! Both teams begin skipping in time as everyone applauds them. They start their rhymes.)
Helen, Abby, and Wolfgang Girls: Cinderella, dressed in yella
Went downstairs to kiss a fella,
By mistake, she kissed a snake,
How many doctors would it take?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12!
(Chuck E. is waving Helen's pom poms.)
- Chuck E.: Go, Helen and Abby!!!
- Tiffany: You've got this, girls!
- William: Show those Wolfgangs what you have that they don't!
(Next rhyme starts.)
Helen, Abby, and Wolfgang Girls: Bluebells, cockle-shells
Eevy, ivy, over.
My mother sent me to the store,
And this is what she sent me for:
Salt, vinegar, mustard, pepper!
Salt, vinegar, mustard, pepper!
Salt, vinegar, mustard, pepper!
Salt, vinegar, mustard, pepper!
(Suddenly, one of the Wolfgang girls trips! The audience winces in reply, the Wolfgang class most of all.)
- Trixie: Oh! And a Wolfgang is down!
(The CEC team cheers while the Wolfgang team boos.)
- Mr. Stonewall: How dare you defy us!
- Trixie: Wolfgang is down to one member, Chuck E. Cheese team still has both. Ready? And...skip rope!
(The skip roping continues; next rhyme starts.)
Helen, Abby, and Wolfgang Girl 2: Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn around!
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the ground!
(The Wolfgang girl looks over at Helen's feet.)
Teddy bear, teddy bear, tie your shoes,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, don't you lose!
(The Wolfgang girl sticks out her arm which hits Helen, causing her to stumble and miss! The CEC team gasps.)
- Helen: Ow! That hurt!
- Trixie: Helen is out!
- Charlie: That Wolfgang girl hit her on purpose!
- Munch: That's cheating! Not good sportsmanship at all!
- Mr. Stonewall: Don't care! Wolfgangs are better!
- Helen: Abby, this is up to you, now. Win for us!
- Abby: I'll try!
- Trixie: We're down to the last two skippers! Who will take home the next medal? Let's find out! And...skip!
(The skipping resumes; next rhyme.)
Abby and Wolfgang Girl 2: 7 up, 7 up, count to 11 up
1 2 3, 4 5 6, 7 8 9 10 11!
6 up, 6 up, do the splits up
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6!
(The Wolfgang girl sticks out her arm to trip Abby, but she blocks the gesture with a spin.)
Abby and Wolfgang Girl 2: 5 up, 5 up, touch the side up
1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
4 up, 4 up, touch the floor up
1, 2, 3, 4!
(Another cheating attempt; Abby blocks it with another spin.)
Abby and Wolfgang Girl 2: 3 up, 3 up, touch your knee up
1, 2, 3!
(Yet another cheating attempt; it gets blocked, too. The Wolfgang girl begins to lose control.)
Abby and Wolfgang Girl 2: 2 up, 2 up, touch your shoe up
1, 2!
1 up, 1 up, you’re all done up!
(The Wolfgang girl finally stumbles and falls. The CEC team cheers while the Wolfgang team complains.)
- Trixie: Game over! Chuck E. Cheese's wins!
(The CEC team surrounds Abby and voice happy comments.)
- Tiffany: You did it, Abby!
- Megan: You really skipped out there!
- Abby: Thank you, Tiffany and Megan!
- Mr. Stonewall: This isn't over yet! There's still three events left, and we WILL win! Right, kids?!!
(Obnoxious cheers from the Wolfgang team.)
- William: Those Wolfgang kids may think they're better, but they're not good sports like us.
- Trixie: You're right, William! We're gonna take a quick lunch break, and then we'll get back to the sports!
(All scatter and chatter in agreement. Changes to some time later; both teams are having their lunch at the picnic tables. Pans to the right to show Charlie still practicing at the little hoop as Chuck E. watches.)
- Chuck E.: Nice shots there, Charlie!
- Charlie: Thank you, Chuck E.! I'm doing good!
- Chuck E.: You wanna try a hand at the big hoop?
- Charlie: Gee, I don't know... I'm still not sure. I wish Tiffany or Megan or David would've been picked, they're better at basketball than I am.
(Here comes Mr. Stonewall.)
- Mr. Stonewall: So, the boy can't shoot a basket, eh? Well, watch what my two top students, Rick and Emily can do. Rick! Emily! Show your stuff!
(Two Wolfgang kids, Rick and Emily, get up from their table.)
- Emily: Will do, Mr. Stonewall!
(They dribble their balls onto the court and shoot perfect baskets, one after the other. The CEC team gasps; the champions laugh loudly.)
- Rick: How was that?!
- Mr. Stonewall: Perfect! You kids are gonna crush this!
(They laugh and go back to lunch.)
- Chuck E.: Come on.
(They enter the court.)
- Charlie: Mr. Stonewall's right, Chuck E.! Even though I'm good at the little hoop, the big hoop is too much!
(He shoots and fails.)
- Charlie: I'll never win the free throw if I keep missing.
- Chuck E.: Charlie, don't say "never"! I believe in you!
- Charlie: You do?
- Chuck E.: Why, sure. Remember the Galaxy 5000, when I couldn't handle Vega-2?
- Charlie: Yeah. It was hard, but after some training from that hermit in the mountains, you got good at it.
- Chuck E.: True! And speaking of training, I know a little word of advice for free throwers: B.E.E.F.!
- Charlie: B.E.E.F.?
- Munch: Did someone say "Beef"? I love beef! Mmm-mmm!
- Chuck E.: (giggles) Not that kind of beef, Munch! B.E.E.F. is a little exercise we use to help us shoot while playing basketball. Here, I'll show you.
(He takes Charlie's ball and faces the hoop.)
- Chuck E.: Each letter in the word B.E.E.F. represents something we do. The first letter, B, stands for "Balance." You should keep yourself steady when preparing to shoot.
- Charlie: Steady. And then?
- Chuck E.: The E means, "Eyes on your target." It's important to focus on the basket so you know where you're gonna throw the ball.
- Charlie: Okay?
- Chuck E.: The second E means, "Elbows straight." The key to having a good shot is to bend your elbows so they're in the proper shooting position. I bend my elbows like this, so they're facing the ground.
- Charlie: What's the last letter?
- Chuck E.: The last letter, F, means "Follow through." When you're comfortable with the way you're positioned, you may prepare your shot, and...
(He shoots his ball, it scores! The CEC team applauds.)
- Charlie: Wow! Nice shot! You did it, Chuck E.!
- Chuck E.: Thanks! By using the B.E.E.F. method, it should help you get better with your shooting!
(Music to "B.E.E.F." starts.)
Chuck E.: There's a little secret in the basketball world
Useful for every boy and every girl
Follow along, and soon you'll see
You'll go all the way with just a little B.E.E.F.!
All others: B!
Chuck E.: Means you should balance,
Stand tall and straight
All others: E!
Chuck E.: Means eyes forward,
Focus if you may
All others: E!
Chuck E.: Means elbows straight,
Know the posture when you shoot
All others: F!
Chuck E.: Means follow through,
Won't be long 'til you do
That's the purpose of B.E.E.F.!
- Charlie: I think I'm ready to try the big hoop now, Chuck E.
- Chuck E.: Okay! Just remember B.E.E.F.!
- Jasper: Yeah, Charlie! Go for it!
(Charlie faces the big hoop.)
- Charlie: Let's see if I remember...
B?
Chuck E.: Balance,
Stand tall and straight
Charlie: E?
Chuck E.: Eyes forward,
Focus if you may
Charlie: E?
Chuck E.: Elbows straight,
Know the posture when you shoot
Charlie: F?
Chuck E.: Follow through,
Won't be long 'til you do...!
(He makes a shoot...and scores! Their team cheers!)
- Charlie: I did it, Chuck E.! I made the basket!
- Chuck E.: All right! Way to go! Now just keep on practicing, and if you're ready, move further back for a challenge.
- Charlie: Yeah!
(He keeps shooting more baskets, some failed, some succeeding.)
- Chuck E.: Nice work! The more you practice...
- Charlie: The more I get better!
- Chuck E. and Charlie: Yeah!!!
B -- Balance,
Stand tall and straight
E -- Eyes forward,
Focus if you may
E -- Elbows straight,
Know the posture when you shoot
F -- Follow through,
Won't be long 'til you do
We love basketball, it's fun as we see
All others: You get better at it, don't you agree?
Chuck E.: That's the purpose of B.E.E.F.!
Charlie: Yeah, we really love B.E.E.F.!
Chuck E. and Charlie: Three cheers for B.E.E.F.!
All: B.E.E.F.!
(Song ends; they all cheer. Suddenly...)
- Trixie: Okay, guys! Break time's over! Now everybody gather by the park path for the bicycle race!
(All chatter excitedly; changes to an asphalt path where Munch, Brandon, and two Wolfgang kids are lined up on bicycles.)
- Pasqually: Now this is gonna be amazing!
- Matt: Not as amazing as the Tour de France, perhaps?
- Pasqually: Well, I'd love to have a tour of France, Matt, if I could! (giggles)
- Munch: You ready for this, Brandon?
- Brandon: I was born ready, Brandon!
- Wolfgang Boy 3: Uh, I don't think so! We've been bicycling since we were two years old!
- Wolfgang Girl 3: Yeah! There's no way you can beat us! No. Way!
- Munch: Well, we'll see about that, Wolfgang kids!
- Trixie: Okay! This is the bicycle race! Both teams will ride their bikes in one lap around the park, staying on the path at all times. The first team back here wins! Everybody ready?
- Munch, Brandon, and Wolfgang Kids: Ready!
- Trixie: Ready, set... race!
(She blows her whistle; the bike race is on! All applause.)
- Chuck E.: Come on, Munch and Brandon!
- David: Yeah, you've got this!
- William: Go, team!
(The bikers make their way down the path; music to "This is the Way We Ride Our Bike" starts as they race.)
Munch and Brandon: This is the way we ride our bike
Ride our bike, ride our bike,
This is the way we ride our bike,
Because today is Sports Day
This is the way we pedal our feet,
Pedal our feet, pedal our feet
This is the way we pedal our feet,
Because today is Sports Day
(Suddenly, one of the Wolfgang kids bumps into them, sending them back!)
- Munch and Brandon: Whoa!!!!!
(They continue on, laughing obnoxiously.)
- Wolfgang Boy 3: See you never!
- Munch: Hey, that's cheating!
- Brandon: And good sports never cheat!
- Munch: Come on, Brandon, let's work together to catch up!
- Brandon: Yeah!
(They keep on bicycling around the path.)
Munch and Brandon: This is the way we handle the bars,
Handle the bars, handle the bars
This is the way we handle the bars,
Because today is Sports Day
- Brandon: Faster, Munch! Faster!
- Munch: I'm pedaling as fast as I can!
Munch and Brandon: This is the way we ring the bell,
Ring the bell, ring the bell
This is the way we ring the bell,
Because today is Sports Day
(Now they are just a few feet behind the Wolfgang kids; the line is up ahead with a tape stretched across, and all the cheering spectators are waiting.)
- Brandon: Look, Munch! There's the finish line!
- Munch: Come on, if we keep riding, we can win this race!
- Wolfgang Girl 3: You'll never win!
- Munch: Well, we'll see about that, Wolfgangers!
(They pedal as fast as they can and catch up; now they're neck and neck as the end of the race is nigh.)
Munch and Brandon: This is the way we ride our bike
Ride our bike, ride our bike,
This is the way we ride our bike,
Because today is Sports Day
- Chuck E.: Come on, Munch and Brandon!
- Helen: Yeah, you've got this!
Munch and Brandon: This is the way we ride our bike
Ride our bike, ride our bike,
This is the way we ride our bike,
Because today is Sports Day
(Song ends; Munch and Brandon break the tape first! The CEC team cheers while the Wolfgangs complain.)
- Trixie: The Chuck E. Cheese team wins the bicycle race!
(More cheering.)
- Chuck E.: You did it! Three in a row, awesome!
- David: Awesome bicycling, guys!
- Munch: They cheated again, but we still made it.
- Pasqually: Well, I'm sure we still got it, because Jessica and I have the rock climb up next!
- Jessica: I hope those jungle gym exercises were enough, Pasqually.
- Pasqually: I bet they're a good ascent! (giggles)
(Changes to show an elaborate rock climbing wall divided into three sections, ascending up in many complicating ways. Pasqually, Jessica, and two Wolfgang kids are hitched up and ready to climb.)
- Pasqually: Hey, I've got a joke! What did the rock say when he tried to climb? "It's a hard-rock life!"
(Everyone laughs except for Jasper and the Wolfgangs.)
- Jasper: Do you always have to do that?
- Mr. Stonewall: That joke sounded like nothing but the tip of a melting sundae!
- Helen: Hey, be nice!
(Mr. Stonewall scoffs; Trixie steps forward.)
- Trixie: Okay, this is the rock climbing challenge! On my mark, you'll race to climb up the rock faster than your opponents. The first team that reaches the top wins! Everybody ready?
(Music to "Mountain Music" starts.)
- Pasqually and Jessica: Ready!
- Wolfgang Kids: SO ready!
- Chuck E.: You've got this, Pasqually!
- Mrs. Miller: Show 'em what you've got!
- Mr. Stonewall: Climb like a Wolfgang!
- Trixie: Ready, set... climb!
(She blows her whistle, and the climb is on! The Wolfgang kids have a head start.)
Pasqually, Jessica, and Wolfgang Kids: Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway
Pasqually: Drift away like Tom Sawyer
Ride a raft with ol' Huck Finn
Take a nap like Rip Van Winkle
Day dreamin' again
Pasqually, Jessica, and Wolfgang Kids: Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway
(Both teams reach the first checkpoint.)
- Trixie: So far, Wolfgang is in the lead!
- Chuck E.: Come on, Pasqually! Come on, Jessica!
(Just as Jessica starts to climb, a Wolfgang kid kicks her hand, knocking it off.)
- Jessica: Ouch!
(The CEC team winces, but the Wolfgang team keeps cheering obnoxiously.)
- Jessica: They cheated again!
- Pasqually: Oh, don't worry, Jessica. If we work together, we'll make it up this wall faster than you can say, ZOOM-ZOOM!
- Jessica: ZOOM-ZOOM!
(They climb.)
- CEC Team: ZOOM-ZOOM! (laughs)
- Mr. Stonewall: Oh, gimmie a break!
Pasqually: Play some back-home, come-on music
That comes from the heart
Play somethin' with lots of feelin'
'Cause that's where music has to start
Pasqually, Jessica, and Wolfgang Kids: Oh, play me some mountain music
Like grandma and grandpa used to play
Then I'll float on down the river
To a Cajun hideaway, hey, hey!
(Second checkpoint reached; Wolfgang is still in the lead. Music speeds up; they begin the final ascent.)
- Trixie: This is it! One level to go! Who will make it to the top first?!?
(All shout to their teams.)
- Mr. Stonewall: CLIMB! CLIMB LIKE A WOLFGANG!!!
- Helen: Come on, let's all cheer for Pasqually and Jessica! Say, "Go! Go! Go! Go!"
- CEC Team: Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
(Their cheering motivates the team to climb faster, now they're neck-and-neck!)
- Pasqually: Thanks for the cheers, everyone!
(The end of the climb is nigh...)
Pasqually, Jessica, and Wolfgang Kids: Oh, play me some mountain music
Oh, play me some mountain music
Oh, play me some mountain music
Oh, play, play, play, play, PLAY!!!!!!!!
(As the song ends...Pasqually and Jessica reach the top first! They cheer, and confetti from the cannon behind them explodes out. Applause from the CEC team, angry complaining from the Wolfgang team.)
- Trixie: The winner of the rock climb: The Chuck E. Cheese team!
- Pasqually and Jessica: Yeah!!!
- Wolfgang Team: NO!!!
(They angrily kick their feet and stumble off the rock, ascending slowly thanks to their harnesses.)
- Wolfgang Kids: AUGH!!!
(Pasqually and Jessica do the same.)
- Pasqually and Jessica: Whee!!!
(They land at the bottom; the rest of the CEC team join.)
- Chuck E.: You did it! Pasqually, Jessica, that was some awesome climbing!
- Jasper: Yeah, you really were good up there!
- Jessica: Let's just say it had its ups and downs.
(Everyone laughs.)
- Jasper: Now this I find funny!
- Munch: We have won four medals in a row! And there's only one Sports Day event left!
- Helen: The free throw!
- Chuck E.: That's our sport, Charlie! You think you practiced enough?
- Charlie: I think so. Maybe. I'm still a little nervous.
- Brandon: But that also means you're gonna be competing against Wolfgang's top students: Rick and Emily!
- Katie: And they're the best basketball throwers in the whole school!
(Up ahead, Rick and Emily are practicing their throwing and laughing obnoxiously.)
- Rick: You're never gonna shoot a basket like us, Charlie!
- Emily: Yeah! You're the weakest shooter in school!
- Rick and Emily: LOSER!
(More obnoxious laughter; Charlie is crushed.)
- Chuck E.: Hey! You can't tease Charlie like that! He's been practicing!
- Emily: Oh, yeah? Prove it, then!
- Charlie: I WILL prove it! I'm gonna shoot those baskets and win the last medal!
- Rick: Well, if you wanna win, you're gonna have to beat us, first!
- Charlie: BRING IT ON!!!
(The loudspeaker rings.)
- Trixie: All free throw competitors, please report to the basketball court!
- Rick: May the best free thrower win.
- Emily: See you on the court...LOSER!
(They laugh obnoxiously and exit.)
- Chuck E.: Come on, Charlie, let's show those mean Wolfgang kids what we've got!
- Charlie: Yeah!
(They do a secret handshake; changes to the basketball court where both teams are watching from outside. The free throwers are on the court; Trixie steps forward.)
- Trixie: All right, everybody! Time for the final event of the Chuck E. Cheese's Sports Day: The basketball free throw challenge!
(Applause; the CEC team cheers happily; the Wolfgang team cheerss obnoxiously.)
- Chuck E.: Okay, Charlie, this is it. We have to keep being good sports so we can win the last medal.
- Charlie: And I can get my first medal ever!
- Trixie: The rules are simple. One at a time, each player will step up to the hoop and try to make as many baskets as they can. Each time you successfully shoot a basket, you must take one step father away. Miss, and you're out! Then it's your teammate's turn. The team that has the most points after both players from both teams have played wins the final medal!
(More applause.)
- Trixie: Our first free throwers are Emily and Chuck E. Please take your places!
(Applause as Emily and Chuck E. step onto the court in their starting positions, basketballs in hand. The CEC team is cheering happily.)
- Helen: Go, Chuck E.!
(The Wolfgang team is laughing obnoxiously.)
- Emily: Good luck, mouse man. (snickers)
(Chuck E. ignores her and scoffs. Music to "Never Give Up" starts.)
- Munch: That's it, Chuck E.! Don't let her get in your head!
- Trixie: Free throwers! Prepare your basketballs!
(They hold out their basketballs.)
- Trixie: Ready... set... throw!!!
(She blows her whistle; the free throw is on!)
CEC Team: Never give up! Never give in!
Try your best, you're sure to win!
Chuck E.: It's all come down to this
The final challenge we face
We've been workin' hard for this
Not a single thing out of place
CEC Team: Do what you want, use what you've got
Show them what you have that they do not
All: And never give up!
(Both score; the teams cheer and they move back.)
Chuck E.: Never give up!
(Another successful score and move back.)
Helen: The strength that lies within you
Is the key to chasing your dreams
Munch: Know what's standing before you
'Cause it's not easy as it seems
CEC Team: Be a good sport, it sets you free
Rise to the challenge, it's your destiny
All: And never give up!
(Emily misses; the Wolfgang team groans.)
- Trixie: Oh, and Emily is out! Rick, you're up next!
(Rick takes his place on the court, blowing Chuck E. a raspberry which he just shakes his head at.)
Chuck E.: Never give up!
(More baskets.)
- Helen: Come on, Chuck E.! You can do it!
- Jasper: You're the greatest sport on the team!
- Chuck E.: Thanks, guys!
(Behind him, Rick is getting mad.)
- Rick: I'm not gonna let this mouse take our victory! Hmm...
(He looks behind him; both he and Chuck E. are now at the farthest shoot point. He smirks with an idea; Chuck E. prepares his next shot.)
- Chuck E.: Balance, eyes, elbows, and... follow thro --
(But before he could shoot, Rick sticks out a leg which kicks him from behind!)
- Chuck E.: OUCH!
(He releases his ball, and he misses! The CEC team groans and gasps.)
- Jasper: Rick cheated!
- Abby: Yeah, that wasn't nice!
- Trixie: Chuck E. is out! Charlie, you're up!
(As Chuck E. leaves the court...)
- Chuck E.: It's all up to you, Charlie. You have to win this for us!
- Charlie: I'll try!
(He takes his place.)
- Rick: You're never gonna win! You're the worst in the class! (makes nonsense noises)
- Charlie: I'm not afraid of you anymore! You and your other Wolfgangs are no match for me!
(Applause from the CEC team.)
- Chuck E.: That's good sportsmanship, Charlie!
- Trixie: And here we go! It's down to Rick and Charlie, so we go into our lightning round! Keep shooting until someone misses! Go!
(The game continues; both shoot baskets successfully as the teams cheer; happy ones from the CEC team, obnoxious ones from the Wolfgang team.)
- Mr. Stonewall: Throw like a Wolfgang, Rick!
- Mrs. Miller: Go, Charlie! You've got this!
(More shooting; suddenly, Rick misses! The Wolfgangs groan.)
- Trixie: Rick is out!
(Rick yells angrily and stomps off the court; Charlie is left and at the farthest shoot line.)
- Trixie: Okay, this is the deciding shoot. If Charlie can make this next basket, the CEC team will win the game!
- Charlie: Oh...
(He stares at the basket, then the Wolfgangs making teasing noises and laughing obnoxiously, then the encouraging CEC team.)
- Chuck E.: Don't listen to 'em, Charlie! Go for it!
- Helen: You can win this, Charlie!
- Pasqually: Show them how much you've practiced!
- Charlie: Will you help me throw the last basket? Oh, good!
- Chuck E.: Remember, Charlie: B.E.E.F.!
- Charlie: B.E.E.F., got it.
(He faces the basket.)
- Charlie: Okay... what's the B in B.E.E.F. stand for again?
- Chuck E.: Balance, Charlie! Balance!
- Charlie: Right! (stands still) What's the E stand for?
- Chuck E.: Eyes on your target!
- Charlie: Eyes... check. (looks at the basket) And the second E?
- Chuck E.: Elbows straight!
- Charlie: Right again! (bends elbows into shooting position) And last, F means...?
- CEC Team: Follow through!
- Charlie: I have practiced. I can shoot a basket. And I... can... WIN!
(And he throws the final ball. As the motion slows, the ball soars up high into the air...he and everyone outside the court watches intently...the ball reaches the hoop and bounces off the ridges a bit...and then...it falls right through the hoop! The CEC team applauds their loudest!)
- Trixie: SCORE!!! The winner of the free throw: THE CHUCK E. CHEESE TEAM!!!!!!
(More applause from the CEC team.)
- Helen: YAY, CHARLIE!!!
- Chuck E.: YOU DID IT!!!
(The Wolfgang team is silently surprised. No angry groans this time.)
- Charlie: I did it! I did it! I shot the basket!!!
(The rest of the team gathers up on the court and Chuck E. and Jasper lift Charlie onto their shoulders.)
All: Never give up! Never give in!
You've tried your best, and you did win!
I never gave up!
He never give up!
We never gave up!
(Song ends; more happy cheers. Changes to one of the fields as Trixie and Mrs. Miller step forward with a box of medals behind them. It's time for the awards ceremony.)
- Trixie: Okay, everyone! When I call your name, step forward and you'll get your medals!
(She and Mrs. Miller produce two medals; one big and one kid-sized, perfect for Chuck E. and the gang and their respective kid teammates.)
- Trixie: Jasper and Matt!!
(Applause from the team as Jasper and Matt step forward. Trixie and Mrs. Miller come before them and they bow as the medals are placed around their necks. The two cheer excitedly as they jump wildly in place.)
- Jasper: We did it, Matt!
- Matt: I got my medal! YEAH!
- Trixie: Helen and Abby!!
(Applause; Helen and Abby step forward. They get their medals and high five.)
- Trixie: Munch and Brandon!!
(Applause; Munch and Brandon step forward, they get their medals. They fist bump.)
- Trixie: Pasqually and Jessica!!
(Applause; Pasqually and Jessica step forward and get their medals.)
- Pasqually: You could say we had the climb of our life! (giggles)
- Jessica: Absolutely!
- Trixie: And last but not least... Chuck E. and Charlie!!!
(Loudest applause of all; Chuck E. and Charlie step forward. Chuck E. is the first to get his medal, followed by Charlie.)
- Charlie: I can't believe this! My very first medal! I did it!
- Chuck E.: No, Charlie, we did it! We all did it! As a team!
- Mrs. Miller: Okay, everyone! Gather up for a picture!
(They all get together and Trixie steps before them with camera in hand.)
- Trixie: Say, "Sports Day!"
- CEC Team: Sports Day!!!
(The picture is taken; they all cheer.)
- Helen: Hey, you wanna know something? Even though Megan, Tiffany, William, Sam, and Katie didn't compete, they still cheered us, and that made them part of the team, too.
- Katie: Yeah! We may not have won medals like you, but we still feel like winners.
- Chuck E.: You're absolutely right, Katie! Everyone on this team is a winner! We won all the events of the Chuck E. Cheese's Sports Day!
(Everyone cheers happily; music to "We're All Winners" starts.)
Chuck E.: Everybody shout, it's time to celebrate

- Charlie: Hey, guys! It's the Wolfgang team!
(Indeed it is; they come toward them looking remorseful.)
- Mr. Stonewall: Um, Mrs. Miller? Chuck E.? Others? We'd like to apologize.
- Mrs. Miller: What's up, Mr. Stonewall?
- Jasper: Yeah, why the long faces?
- Mr. Stonewall: Well, we're sorry for the way we acted at Sports Day today. All the cheating and teasing and such...
- Rick: We were very bad sports. The truth is, you were really good at all the events, even better than any other sport we tried at.
- Emily: So we wanna make it up to you.
- Chuck E.: Well, for starters, you could promise to never cheat or tease us ever again.
- Munch: And you should always play by the rules.
- Charlie: And be a good friend, too. That's what being on a team is all about.
- Trixie: Do you promise?
(A pause...)
- Wolfgang Team: We promise!
- Mr. Stonewall: Matter of fact, you can play with us anytime.
(They all cheer and shake hands, solidifying their reconciliation.)
- Chuck E.: Wow! We just made lots of new friends, too!
- Charlie: Thank you, Chuck E., for helping me believe in myself! Because of you, I won my very first medal!
- Helen: And we all won medals, too!

- All: Bye!/Goodbye!
(They continue celebrating and jump into the air; a flash of light, and the view freeze-frames as their cheering is heard before fading out, ending the show.)
(End credits.)
