DESCRIPTION: After a pause, Ruffles spins in a circle.
[Ruffles cheering]

[Bubbles honks and mutters]

[Bubbles babbling triumphantly]
DR. CHUCKLES: No more boinks on the head for you.
SPIN: Hey, Bubbles! This'll make you laugh and feel better.
DESCRIPTION: Spin takes a juggling pin and tosses it from one hand to the other. Spin spins in a circle with his arms wide.
SPIN: Whoa! Ah! Ta-dah!
POCKETS: It's okay, Spin. He didn't need to laugh to feel better. He just needed a helmet.
DESCRIPTION: Spin frowns and slumps his shoulders.
SPIN: Oh…
DR. CHUCKLES: Next!
DESCRIPTION: A third clown comes out of the tent. She is a small, orange bird who has orange hair under a yellow hat and a red nose. She is carrying wooden stilts. Spin runs up to the clown and dances.
[Spin singing to self]
SPIN: H-hey! I can make you laugh. Whoo-hoo! That'll make you feel better. Eh?
DESCRIPTION: The clown walks away from Spin and over to Dr. Chuckles.
DR. CHUCKLES: Oh, Dizzy! What have you done?

[Dizzy mutters]
DR. CHUCKLES: A classic case of tumble-itis! I'll soon fix that. Bottom bouncer, please.

[Dizzy whistles and sings to herself]

[Happy muttering]

[Roller Guinea muttering]
POCKETS: What's wrong, Spin? Are you poorly too?
SPIN: Don't know. I just don't feel right.

DESCRIPTION: Giggle looks into Dr. Chuckles bag.
GIGGLES: Oh, no! It's empty.
DR. CHUCKLES: Ah. Is there another way we can make your friend feel better?
[A thought bubble popping]
DESCRIPTION: A thought bubble appears above Pockets’ and Giggle’s heads. They think about Ruffles’ bucket, Bubbles’ helmet, and Dizzy’s cushion.
POCKETS: Hm… Spin hasn't got the hickety hiccups, so the bucket surprise won't work.
GIGGLE: And he hasn't got the fumbles, so the helmet won't work.
POCKETS: And Spin doesn't have tumble-itis, so the bottom bouncer won't work either.
[The thought bubble popping]
POCKETS: Oh. Spin couldn't make the clowns feel better by making them laugh, but maybe laughing is what Spin needs.
GIGGLE: So, he just needs cheering up!
POCKETS: Yes, and I know just the thing.

[Bubbles’ horn honks]
[Dizzy screams]

GIGGLE: We did it! We put on a clown show!

[Spin honks his horn]
[Everyone laughs]
DR. CHUCKLES: Bravo! Well, as I say, there's always another way.
