The Picture Puzzle Q Pootle 5

ENGINE STARTS

Hi, Pootle.

Oopsy!

PLANET DAVE SNEEZES

Eddi!

Stella!

Groobie!

POOTLE HUMS

Oh, this is fun.

Another one there.

Ah, yes!

That's good.

HE LAUGHS

Right.

Very nice. Not bad at all.

Although...I think there's something missing.

Hmm.

Make that SOMEONE missing.

ENGINE STARTS

SHE HUMS

-Very clever.

-Ooh!

-I wish I could draw like you.

-Hello, Pootle.

I didn't know you were there.

-I did.

-You did what?

I knew I was there. THEY LAUGH

Ooh, is that a camera, Pootle?

Yeah. Groobie gave it to me.

I thought I might take a picture of you.

But it doesn't matter if you're busy.

No. No. I'm not too busy.

I've run out of paper anyway.

Well, why don't I take one of you holding up your best picture?

This one's a picture of a friend of mine.

Can you guess who it is?

HE LAUGHS

I think I probably can. BOTH LAUGH

How about one next to the flowers by your front door?

Yes!

Give us a smile, Oopsy.

CAMERA CLICKS

-Shall I take one of you, Pootle?

-That would be nice.

How about...over here by my spaceship?

Lovely.

Ooh, that's nice.

Ooh, I'm pleased with that one.

Hey, here's Eddi.

There you are.

I thought I might find you both here.

-Hello, Eddi.

-Eddi, look, Pootle's got a camera.

-Come on, stand together.

-Ooh, yes, please.

-Is here OK?

-Perfect.

Big smiles, please.

Hello, everybody, what are you doing?

Come and look, Stella.

I've been taking some pictures of Pootle and Eddi.

Ooh, that sounds like fun. Can I see?

Nice flowers.

-Flowers?

-Your face-painting - very nice.

Aw, thank you. I could do some for you, if you like.

Er, maybe not. You know, with my colour,

I might look a bit like a garden.

-BOTH LAUGH

-Oh, yeah.

Ooh!

That's a nice one.

I like that one.

Hang on, who's that?

Oh, yes.

Who is it?

I didn't see him when I was taking the pictures.

Nor did I. Well, where is he now?

He can't be far away.

Perhaps he's a bit shy.

Hmm. He doesn't look very shy in the pictures.

He looks friendly, doesn't he?

I can't help feeling I've seen his face before.

Come on, let's try and find him.

Yes. It will be like a game of hide and seek.

Oopsy, why don't you help Eddie to look by his spaceship?

And I'll check by the crater with Stella.

Come on then, everybody.

RAY CAWS

Perhaps Ray could fly up and look from the air.

RAY CAWS

Ray doesn't really like heights.

Oh, yes.

Hmm?

Ah-ha!

BOTH LAUGH

I thought we'd found him.

Let's check my spaceship - he might be hiding inside.

Good idea.

-Have you seen Groobie today?

-No, I haven't. Why?

It doesn't matter, it's just that he said he might pop over later

with something for Oopsy.

No. No sign of our mystery friend in here.

Where could he be?

It's strange, really.

How someone can be right there and then, suddenly,

they've disappeared.

Whoosh! Gone, just like that.

Eddi?

-Eddi?

-What was that, Oopsy?

I said, it's strange how someone can just disappear.

Do you think this person can make himself invisible?

It would be a good trick if he can.

I've never met anyone who can make things disappear.

-Pootle can.

-Huh?

He can make moon cheese triangles disappear - he just eats them.

BOTH LAUGH

Ooh, here he is now. Any luck, you two?

-Erm, three.

-No. No sign of him anywhere.

Let's look by your house, Oopsy.

-There's lots of places someone could hide there.

-Ooh, yes.

-Hello.

-Anyone here?

-Mystery person!

Where are you?

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Look.

It's him. It must be him.

You go that way and we'll go round this way.

We'll give him a surprise. ALL GIGGLE

Oh! Look, Pootle.

It's him!

Ooh!

-Look.

-Oh, it's getting bigger

Steady, Eddi.

Hmm.

It is him!

Hello. Can I help you?

POP!

Oh, that gave me a fright.

ALL: Groobie!

Hello, everyone.

You made me jump.

-And you certainly made us jump.

-Sorry about that.

I brought some balloons over for Oopsy -

I know how much she likes them.

That's nice. Thank you.

-Bud-D made them by accident.

-Ooh!

By accident?

Yes. I actually asked him for some spoons.

Ooh!

Spoons, of course.

-SHE LAUGHS

-Spoons.

We thought your balloon was the mysterious person

we've been looking for.

Mysterious person? That does sound interesting.

What does this mysterious person look like?

Well, a lot like your balloon with a smiley face on it.

RAY CAWS

Never mind, Ray. I think our mystery friend is a bit bigger than a mouse.

RAY CAWS

I don't think we're going to find him. We've looked everywhere.

-He must have gone.

-SHE SIGHS

Oh, well.

Ooh, can I take one last picture of you all?

Of course you can. Come on.

All right, everybody.

Eddi, could you just move your head to the left a bit?

No, not that one. I meant your other head.

Hold it. Oopsy, hold it right there.

Ooh. What is it, Pootle? What's the matter?

You're holding the camera with one of your fingers in front of the lens.

Oh, dear. Am I doing it wrong?

No, don't worry. Just let me see something.

HE LAUGHS

Looks like I was wrong about our friend in the pictures.

He wasn't bigger than a mouse - he's tiny.

He's right here on the end of Oopsy's finger, look.

Wow!

Fancy that.

-It's a little smiley face.

-Well, I never.

Amazing.

It's him!

Oh, I knew I'd seen that face before.

-It was my finger painting.

-SHE LAUGHS

You are clever, Pootle.

Not really. I just, you know, saw him.

It's a pity he was only a picture, really.

It would have been nice for us to have a new friend.

Oh, well, never mind.

We'll just have to make do with our old friends.

Absolutely.

ALL LAUGH

OK, everyone...

say "moon cheese".

ALL: Moon cheese!

RAY CAWS

ALL: Ray!

ALL LAUGH
