(Cheerful music plays)

Over vast land of grassy hills is a small town. A windmills sail slowly turns.

Singers sing, HERE COMES DONKEY HODIE.

A yellow donkey with purple hair and a purple tail comes out of the windmill.

She says, HEE HAW!

Singers sing, DONKEY HODIE.

Donkey Hodie walks through a flower garden where a giant flower stem grows.

A singer sings, SHE LOVES ADVENTURE,
SHE LOVES SURPRISE
WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM,
SHE TRIES AND TRIES .

Donkey Hodie rides the growing stem.

Singers sing, LET'S GO
DONKEY HODIE.

Donkey Hodie jumps off the flower stem.

The singer sings, IF SHE FAILS,
SHE'LL BOUNCE RIGHT BACK.

Donkey Hodie bounces off a drum near Grampy Hodie and over a green Duck.

The singer sings, COME ON DUCK DUCK,
GIVE A QUACK

Duck Duck, the green duck says, KAY, KAY! QUACK!

Singers sing, DONKEY HODIE.

The singer sings, SHE PLAYS WITH BOB DOG,
THEY HAVE A BALL
T'S FUN FOR THEM,
IT'S FUN FOR ALL.

Donkey Hodie and Bob Dog, an orange dog, bounce on balls. Donkey Hodie bounces off her ball.

Bob Dog says, BOW WOW!

Singers sing, DONKEY HODIE.

The singer sings, JUST FOR FUN,
SHE'LL TAKE A TRIP
WITH PURPLE PANDA
IN HIS SPACESHIP.

Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda travel through space in a spaceship.

Purple Panda says, HEYO!

Singers sing, DONKEY HODIE.

The singer sings, A HEE AND A HAW
AND A HAW AND A HEE
SOMEPLACE ELSE
IS THE PLACE TO BE.

Donkey Hodie’s friends sing, WITH OUR PAL
DONKEY HODIE!

Title, Donkey Hodie.

Donkey Hodie says, HEE HAW!

She reads the episode title, SUPERHERO SQUABBLE.

Donkey ties on a green superhero cape. Panda ties on a blue superhero cape. They pull on masks matching their capes.

Donkey boldly states, I AM THE AMAZING RADISH!

Panda jumps beside her.

He says, AND I AM THE ONE, THE ONLY,
AND THE PRICKLY,
SUPER PORCUPINE!
HO-HO-HEY-HA!

He chuckles.

Donkey, as Amazing Radish, boldly says, NO ONE'S AS SUPER AS...

She spins on the spot and zips back and forth.

She says, ...THE AMAZING RADISH!

Panda, as Super Porcupine, adds, AND NO ONE'S MORE DUPER THAN...

He spins on the spot and zips back and forth.

He says,...SUPER PORCUPINE!

He chuckles.

Amazing Radish says, THERE'S NOTHING MORE SUPER
THAN PLAYING SUPERHEROES
WITH MY BEST FRIEND.

Super Porcupine says, YEAH, AND THERE'S NOTHING
MORE DUPER
THAN PLAYING SUPERHEROES
WITH MY BEST FRIEND.

He chuckles.

Amazing Radish says, YEAH. OH. OH!

She clears her throat.

She boldly announces, WE, AMAZING RADISH
AND SUPER PORCUPINE,
WILL SAVE THE DAY!

Super Porcupine dramatically says, I AM READY TO HELP SAVE THE DAY!

Amazing Radish stands in a superhero stance.

Super Porcupine says, EH...
ONE LITTLE ITTYBITTY QUESTION:
UM, HOW SHALL WE
SAVE THE DAY EXACTLY?

Amazing Radish boldly states, I DO NOT KNOW.

Super Porcupine says, HMM.

He looks thoughtful.

He says, WE NEED A MISSION.

Amazing Radish says, GOOD THINKING!

She says, OUR MISSION IS TO PROTECT...
UHH...

She looks around.

She says, ...THE MAILBOX!

Super Porcupine says, THE MAILBOX?

Amazing Radish says, YEP!
LET'S PRETEND THE MAILBOX
IS IN DANGER!

Super Porcupine gasps.

He says, OH NO!
UH, WHAT'S IT IN DANGER FROM?

Amazing Radish says, THE HUNGRIEST CREATURE
EVER SEEN IN SOMEPLACE ELSE:
THE MAILBOX SNACKER!

Super Porcupine gasps.

He says, M...M...
MAILBOX SNACKER?

Amazing Radish gravely says, YES.
THE MAILBOX SNACKER
EATS MAILBOXES
FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH,
AND DINNER.
AND, AS HIS NAME SUGGESTS,
AS A SNACK!

Super Porcupine looks alarmed.

He says, AS A SNACK TOO?!
UH, THIS MAILBOX SNACKER
MUST BE STOPPED!

Amazing Radish nods.

She says, AND THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
TO STOP THE MAILBOX SNACKER...

Super Porcupine asks, HOW?

Amazing Radish says, WITH...

She holds up a flashlight-like device.

She says, …THE PROTECTOR SHIELD!

Amazing Radish places The Protector Shield device on a rock.

She says, CHECK OUT THE PROTECTOR SHIELD.

Amazing Radish shoots a beam of red light at the mailbox with the device. A toy monster is dangled beside the mailbox from string on a stick.

Amazing Radish says, OH NO, THE MAILBOX SNACKER IS
TRYING TO REACH THE MAILBOX!

She holds the stick with the Mailbox Snacker. She bounces the Mailbox Snacker off The Protector Shield’s red light.

She says, BOOOINNGGG.
BUT HE CAN'T GET PAST
THE PROTECTOR SHIELD!
THE PROTECTOR SHIELD
IS SO STRONG!

Amazing Radish bounces the Mailbox Snacker off the light again.

She says, BOOOINNGGG.
SEE PANDA?
IT SHALL PROTECT THE MAILBOX!

Super Porcupine says, MMM. THE PROTECTOR SHIELD
SEEMS PRETTY STRONG,
BUT YOU KNOW
WHAT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER?

The Protector Shield shuts off.

Amazing Radish says, NOTHING CAN BE BETTER
THAN THE PROTECTOR SHIELD.

Super Porcupine says, WELL, ACTUALLY,
SUPER PORCUPINE'S SUPER SPELL
WOULD BE PERFECT FOR THE JOB.
IT'S CALLED,
THE LEMON SWITCHUP.

Super Porcupine strikes a pose and giggles.

Amazing Radish skeptically asks, WHAT'S THAT?

Super Porcupine says, WATCH AND BE AMAZED!

He gasps and looks to the Mailbox Snacker dangling from Amazing Radish’s stick.

Super Porcupine dramatically says, OH NO,
THE MAILBOX SNACKER
IS ABOUT TO EAT A MAILBOX!
AND THEN...
HO-HO-HEY-HA!
LEMON SWITCHUP!

(Squeaking)

A large lemon hangs from Amazing Radish’s stick.

Super Porcupine says, THERE!
THE LEMON SWITCHUP SPELL
TURNED THE MAILBOX SNACKER
INTO A LEMON!
HO-HO-HEY-HA!

He giggles.

He asks, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Amazing Radish says, UHHH, THE LEMON SWITCHUP
ISN'T BAD.

She puts down the stick.

She says, BUT, THE PROTECTOR SHIELD
IS BETTER.

Super Porcupine says, MMM,
I DISAGREE.
I REALLY BELIEVE TURNING
THE MAILBOX SNACKER INTO A LEMON
IS THE BETTER WAY TO GO.

Amazing Radish asks, HOW COULD SOMEONE THINK
THAT THE LEMON SWITCHUP
IS BETTER
THAN THE PROTECTOR SHIELD?

The protector shield lights up and Amazing Radish bounces the Mailbox Snacker against the light.

She says, CAN'T YOU SEE HOW STRONG
THE PROTECTOR SHIELD IS?!

Super Porcupine takes the Mailbox Snacker from Amazing Radish.

He says, WELL, HOW COULD SOMEONE THINK
THAT THE PROTECTOR SHIELD
IS BETTER
THAN THE LEMON SWITCHUP?
I MEAN...WATCH THIS!

As the Mailbox Snacker, Super Porcupine says, I AM THE MAILBOX SNACKER
AND I AM SO HUNGRY!
NOTHING CAN STOP ME!

As Super Porcupine, he says, AND THEN...
HO-HO-HEY-HA!
LEMON SWITCHUP!

He ducks down and swaps the Mailbox Snacker for the large lemon.

As the Mailbox Snacker, he says, OH NO!
I'VE BEEN TURNED
INTO A BIG JUICY LEMON!

As Super Porcupine, he says, SEE, DONKEY?
ISN'T THE LEMON SWITCHUP
BETTER?

Donkey, as Amazing Radish, says, NO, IT ISN'T.

Super Porcupine looks disappointed.

He says, WELL...

He pulls off his mask and walks away.

He says, …I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN
BE FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE
WHO THINKS
THAT THE PROTECTOR SHIELD
IS BETTER
THAN THE LEMON SWITCHUP.

Donkey takes off her mask.

She says, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

Panda says, UH, I DUNNO.
MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T BE FRIENDS
ANYMORE.

Donkey gasps. Panda gasps.

He whispers, DID I JUST SAY THAT?

Donkey says, WELL,WELL,
IF WE'RE NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE,
THEN I DUNNO, MAYBE,
JUST, MAYBE
I SHOULD GO PLAY BY MYSELF.

Panda turns to look at Donkey.

He says, OH. WELL, MAYBE I'LL GO
AND PLAY BY MYSELF.
FINE.

Donkey says, FINE.

Panda says, FINE!

He grumbles as he walks back to Donkey. The friends take off their superhero capes.

Donkey says, FINE!

The friends walk their separate ways.

Donkey says, OH, I'M SO UPSET ABOUT GETTING
INTO THAT ARGUMENT WITH PANDA.

She takes a deep breath.

She says, THAT DEEP BREATH
MADE ME FEEL A LITTLE BETTER.
AND LESS MAD.

Donkey takes another deep breath.

A short distance away, Panda says, I'M SO UPSET
ABOUT ARGUING WITH DONKEY.

He grunts and inhales sharply.

He says, OK. TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

Panda takes a deep breath.

He says, HEY, I'M FEELING CALMER NOW.

Panda nods.

He says, TAKING A BREAK REALLY HELPS.

He sighs.

He says, I CAN'T BELIEVE DONKEY AND I
AREN'T GOING TO BE
BEST FRIENDS ANYMORE.

Panda looks disappointed. He takes another deep breath.

(Upbeat music plays)

Donkey says, I CAN'T BELIEVE PANDA AND I
AREN'T GONNA BE
BEST FRIENDS ANYMORE.

She sings, HAVE WE COME
TO THE END?
IS IT TIME
TO NOT BE FRIENDS?

Donkey looks up at the sky.

Panda sings, WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
WHAT WILL I DO
IF IT'S ONLY ME
AND NOT US TWO?

Donkey and Panda sing together.

They sing, WHAT ABOUT OUR HUGS?
WHAT ABOUT OUR SONGS?
IS THIS THE END
OR ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?

In a flashback, Donkey and Panda play in a giant tub of popcorn.

Donkey sings, WE HAD OUR LAUGHS,
WE HAD OUR FUN.

Panda plays a drum set while Donkey plays a guitar in a flashback.

Donkey sings, YOU CHEERED ME UP,
YOU CHEERED ME ON.

Panda sings, IS THAT ALL GONE?
ARE WE ALL DONE?
IS THIS THE END
OR ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?

He sighs.

Donkey sings, YA DAH DAH DEE
YA DAH DEE YA DAH DAH.

Panda sings, YA DAH DAH DEE YA DAH DAH

Together the friends sing, YA DAH DAH DEE
YA DAH DEE YA DAH DAH
YA DAH DAH DEE YA DAH DAH.

A force brings the two friends together.

They sing, IF WE JUST TRY
AND APOLOGIZE,
WE CAN SAY SORRY
AND STILL BE FRIENDS.

Memories circle the friends as they sing.

They sing, WE ALWAYS WERE
AND WE'LL BE AGAIN,
JUST YOU AND ME,
THE BEST OF FRIENDS!

Donkey and Panda step apart once again.

They sing, IT WILL BE ALL DONE!
IT WON'T BE THE END!
EVEN THOUGH WE ARGUED
WE ARE STILL FRIENDS!
YA DAH DAH DEE YA DAH DEE
YA DAH DAH
YA DAH DAH DEE YA DAH DAH!

As the music comes to an end, Donkey takes a deep breath.

She says, I, DONKEY HODIE, WILL SAY
I'M SORRY TO PANDA.

Birds chirp in the distance as Donkey walks up behind Panda. Donkey pauses and gasps.

She quietly says, BUT WAIT, HOW DO I SAY IT?
HMM.

Panda quietly says, I REALLY WANT
TO SAY SORRY TO DONKEY.

He sighs and looks behind him where Donkey is looking away. Panda sighs again.

He says, BUT I'M SCARED.
WHAT IF SHE'S STILL MAD AT ME?

Panda takes a deep breath. Donkey sighs and walks away.

She says, HMM...

She looks thoughtful.

She says, OOO! I KNOW!
FIRST, I'LL PRACTICE
APOLOGIZING TO PANDA.

Donkey clears her throat.

She says, YELLOW PANDA...
UH. OH. UH. OH, UHUH!
OH, I MEAN PURPLE PANDA. UH.

Donkey groans.

Panda formally says, TODAY, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE
THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SAY...
I AM SORRY.

He pauses.

He says, UGH.
NO, THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE ME.

Donkey enthusiastically says, PANDA, OLD BUDDY OLD PAL!
LONG TIME NO SEE!

Panda says, ROSES ARE RED,
VIOLETS ARE BLUE,
I WOULD LIKE,
TO APOLOGIZE TO...
UH...

Donkey looks frustrated.

She says, THINK, DONKEY HODIE, THINK.

Panda says, UHHHHHHH...

He gasps.

He says, OH!
UH, NO.

Under the darkening sky, Donkey looks thoughtful.

She says, HMM.

She gasps.

She says, THAT'S IT!
YA JUST GOTTA TELL PANDA
HOW YOU FEEL.

Panda gasps.

He says, I JUST NEED TO BE HONEST
AND TELL DONKEY HOW I FEEL.

The two friends walk up to each other. They look surprised.

Panda says, OH, HEY DONKEY.

Donkey says, HI!

Panda says, UH. HOW YA BEEN?

Donkey says, OH, UH, DOING OKAY, THANK YOU.
AND YOU?

Panda says, UM. GOOD!
UH...

The friends nod awkwardly and look away. The speak at the same time.

Donkey says, HEY PANDA...

Panda says, HEY DONKEY...

The friends laugh.

Donkey says, UH, YOU,YOU CAN GO FIRST, PANDA.

Panda says, IT'S OK. GO AHEAD.

Donkey says, OK.

She takes a deep breath.

The says, PANDA, I'M SO SORRY
THAT I GOT MAD AT YOU
AND SAID THAT I WANTED
TO PLAY ALONE.

Panda quietly gasps.

He excitedly says, REALLY?
OH, THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!

Panda chuckles.

Donkey says, IT DOES?!

Panda says, OF COURSE!
I'M SORRY THAT I GOT MAD AT YOU
AND SAID THOSE THINGS ABOUT US
NOT BEING BEST FRIENDS ANYMORE.

Donkey says, YOU ARE?!

Panda nods.

Donkey says, WHAT A RELIEF!
OH, I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOW
THAT I SAID SORRY.

Panda nods.

He says, YEAH, ME TOO!
DONKEY, I, I DON'T LIKE SEEING
MY BEST FRIEND SAD.
THAT MADE ME SAD.

Donkey nods.

She says, I DIDN'T LIKE SEEING MY BEST
FRIEND UPSET EITHER, PANDA!

Panda gasps.

He says, I'M STILL YOUR BEST FRIEND?

Donkey says, HEEHAW!
ARGUING ABOUT SUPERHEROES, WON'T
KEEP US FROM BEING BEST PALS.

Panda says, RIGHT!
WE CAN ARGUE ABOUT SOMETHING
AND STILL BE BEST PALS.

Donkey nods.

Panda says, HEY, DONKEY,
KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?

Donkey says, OH YEAH, I DO:
IT'S TIME
FOR THE AMAZING RADISH
AND SUPER PORCUPINE
TO SAVE THE DAY!

The two friends wear their superhero capes and masks.

Panda says, EXACTLY.
OH, BUT TO SAVE THE DAY
FROM THE MAILBOX SNACKER
WE'LL HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER!
RIGHT!

Panda, as Super Porcupine, says, OKAY, AMAZING RADISH.

Under the setting sun, Super Porcupine carries the stick with the Mailbox Snacker. Donkey, as Amazing Radish, carries the large lemon. The Protector Shield is aimed at the mailbox.

Super Porcupine says, THE PROTECTOR SHIELD IS READY.
LET'S DO THIS!

He gasps.

He says, OH NO!
THE MAILBOX SNACKER IS TRYING
TO EAT THE MAILBOX!

He lowers the Mailbox Snacker toward the mailbox.

Amazing Radish says, AND...LEMON SWITCHUP!
HA-HA!

She swaps the Mailbox Snacker out for the giant lemon.

The two heroes cheer, HOORAY!

Super Porcupine says, YEAH! WE DID IT!

Amazing Radish giggles.

As herself, Donkey says, THE AMAZING RADISH AND
SUPER PORCUPINE SAVED THE DAY!

As himself, Panda says, HEYO!

Donkey says, HEEHAW!

She takes off her superhero mask.

She says, GOOD WORK, MY BEST FRIEND!

Panda says, YOU TOO, MY BEST FRIEND!

He chuckles and hugs Donkey. The friends take a deep breath together.
