In animation, rain falls in a back yard of a house.
Poppy, a girl with her hair in a braid pulled back with a green headband and wearing a green and blue dress, says inside the house,
IT'S WAY TOO RAINY
TO GO TO THE PARK.
SO... LET'S PLAY GEM DUNKERS.
Poppy pulls a game box off a high shelf.
Poppy says, MY NUMBER ONE FAVORITE
BOARD GAME!
Chaz’s voice from under a blanket says,
OR WE COULD HAVE A GAME OF HIDE
AND SEEK! I'VE ALREADY STARTED!
Poppy pulls the blanket off Chaz’s head. Chaz is a purple wombat wearing a pink T-shirt.
Poppy says, FOUND YOU!
NOW IT'S TIME FOR GEM DUNKERS!
I'LL SEE IF DAD AND AUNT RIA
WANT TO JOIN IN!
Poppy leaves the room.
Chaz says, HMM...
Poppy carries the box into the kitchen.
Poppy’s dad, a man with a small beard, glasses, and wearing a green striped shirt, stands at the kitchen sink and says,
OH SORRY, POPS. I CAN'T.
I REALLY NEED TO... UM...
Poppy’s dad looks up and says, VACUUM THE CEILING!
Aunt Ria, a woman with red wavy hair wearing a white shirt and a green striped skirt, is doing yoga.
Aunt Ria says, SORRY, PETAL.
I REALLY NEED TO... TAKE
THE GOLDFISH FOR A WALK.
Aunt Ria stands up and walks away.
Poppy says, WE DON'T HAVE A GOLDFISH.
Poppy unfolds a game board.
(Poppy sighs)
Poppy says, LUCKILY THE GAME
WORKS WITH...
Poppy imitates a pirate and says,
…TWO TREASURE HUNTERS! ARRR!
Chaz says, IT'S NOT RAINING THAT HARD,
IS IT? MAYBE WE CAN GO TO THE PARK.
YAY!
(Thunderclap)
Poppy says, WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHY DOESN'T ANYONE WANT TO PLAY
A BOARD GAME WITH ME?!
Chaz says, WELL... REMEMBER LAST WEEK?
Flashback: Chaz puts his paw on the game board.
Poppy says, IT'S NOT YOUR MOVE, IT'S MINE!
Poppy throws dice on the game board. Aunt Ria picks up a game piece.
Poppy grabs Aunt Ria’s hand and says, HE ROLLED A 4, NOT A 6!
(Poppy’s dad gasps)
Poppy says, I DON'T CARE! IT'S MY TREASURE!
In present day, Chaz says, WHENEVER WE PLAY,
YOU GET SO... SHOUTY.
YOU'RE TOO... TOO...
QUARRELSOME.
The Sprinklers, small brightly coloured insect-like creatures, say with squeaky voices, QUARRELSOME!
A pink bus drives by.
(Chimes ring)
The Sprinkle Fairy, a female fairy with wings, glasses, a yellow crown, grey upswept hair, wearing a purple costume and holding a wand, appears and says,
QUARRELSOME MEANS ALWAYS ARGUING
AND PICKING FIGHTS.
YOU KNOW, LIKE WHAT POPPY DOES
WHEN SHE PLAYS A BOARD GAME!
Poppy asks, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE
A TREASURE HUNTER WITH ME?
(Ding)
The Sprinkle Fairy says, SORRY. I'M OFF TO SEE
A SPELLING BEE! TOODLE-BYE!
The Sprinkle Fairy flies away.
Poppy says, I GUESS I AM
A LITTLE QUARRELSOME
IF NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY WITH ME.
HOW CAN I CHANGE?
Chaz says, WELL, WHENEVER I FEEL
QUARRELSOME,
I TAKE A DEEP BREATH
TO CALM DOWN. LIKE THIS...
IN, 2, 3.
(Deep breath in)
Chaz says, OUT, 2, 3.
(Exhales)
Poppy says, IN, 2, 3.
(Deep breath in)
Poppy says, OUT, 2, 3.
(Exhales)
Poppy says, IN, 2, 3.
(Deep breath in)
Poppy says, OUT, 2, 3.
(Exhales)
Poppy says, HEY, IT WORKS!
I FEEL COOL AS A CUCUMBER!
AND I'VE GOT THE PERFECT IDEA TO
GET EVERYONE TO THE GAMES TABLE!
Poppy picks up pieces of candy.
Poppy’s dad walks with Aunt Ria and says,
LOOK AT ALL THIS CANDY! IT'S LIKE
IT'S LEADING US TO A WONDERFUL—
Poppy’s dad winks.
Poppy says, SURPRISE!
WELCOME TO GEM DUNKERS!
AND BEFORE YOU MAKE UP
A SILLY EXCUSE AND RUN AWAY,
I PINKY-PROMISE WITH TWO WHOLE
PINKIES NOT TO BE QUARRELSOME.
Aunt Ria says, TWO PINKIES?
THAT'S PRETTY SERIOUS.
Poppy’s dad and Aunt Ria each grasp Poppy’s pinky fingers and sit at the table.
Poppy says, I'LL ROLL FIRST.
Poppy’s dad says, YOU STARTED LAST TIME.
ISN'T IT CHAZ'S TURN?
Poppy says, I DON'T REMEMBER!
(Deep breath)
Poppy says, I MEAN, OF COURSE. HERE YOU GO.
(Chaz blows on dice)
Chaz rolls a one.
Aunt Ria says, OH DEAR.
WHY DON'T YOU ROLL AGAIN?
Poppy says, NO! THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES!
(Deep breath)
Poppy says, I MEAN...
WHAT A GREAT IDEA!
Chaz rolls a six.
Chaz says, YAY! I'VE WON SOME TREASURE.
Poppy’s dad says, WELL DONE!
Poppy says, YES, HOW LUCKY!
IT ALMOST SEEMS UNFAIR.
WAIT... IT IS UNFAIR!
NOW THE REST OF US ARE LOSING!
Poppy upsets the game board.
Poppy’s dad says, UH OH! EH... IS THAT THE TIME?
Aunt Ria says, WE REALLY NEED TO...
GO DUST THE CAT.
Poppy says, WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A CAT!
Poppy’s dad and Aunt Ria say as they leave, WE'LL GET ONE!
Poppy says, WHAT A DISASTER!
I TRIED SO HARD TO STAY CALM
BUT I’M STILL SO QUARRELSOME!
Chaz says, YOU JUST NEED MORE PRACTICE.
AND MAYBE A GAME
THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU QUARREL?
Poppy says, THAT'S IT!
Two Sprinklers fight over a game piece. It breaks in two.
Poppy says, INTRODUCING WHISPERING WOMBATS!
A GAME INVENTED
BY POPPY AND CHAZ...
Poppy’s dad and Aunt Ria say, OH!
Poppy says, …WHERE THE NICEST PLAYER WINS!
Aunt Ria says, AW!
Chaz says, NO SHOUTING, NO FOOT STAMPING.
Poppy says, AND NO QUARRELING!
CHAZ, WOULD YOU LIKE TO START?
Chaz says, WHY, THANK YOU!
I WOULD LOVE TO!
Poppy says, HERE'S THE DICE.
Chaz says, AND HERE'S A PIECE OF TREASURE
FOR BEING SO NICE.
Poppy’s dad frowns and says, WAIT! HOW IS THAT FAIR?
Chaz says, UH-UH! NO SHOUTING. REMEMBER?
Poppy’s dad says, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!
Poppy says, UH-OH. SORRY, DAD.
YOU'LL HAVE TO MISS A TURN.
YOU'RE BEING
WAY TOO QUARRELSOME!
(All laugh)
