Great googly moogly! Curtain up! Welcome, everyone! The Nowhere Land
Playhouse is about to bring you a play in two acts, written by me, Hamilton Hocks, entitled, “Cecil
Bunions, Private Eye.” I will play Cecil Bunions. Now, settle back,
and enjoy the show! (Audience cheering) Cool, man, cool. (Glass breaking) BEAST:
(Whispering) Excuse me. REGGIE:
Watch it! What’s the hold up? Shh, quiet! (Whispering) Hmm. Hmm! HAMILTON:
Beast, get off the stage,
you’re not on yet. BEAST:
Oh, all right. (Laughing) Nedley, open the curtain. Oh, bad luck,
it’s really stuck! Oh. Whoa! (Everyone laughing) (Knocking on door) Come in! (Knocking on door) Oh… Huh? What is going on? I know somebody knocked! It’s me,
Little Bo Peep! Won’t you come in? Now, Hamilton? Do I come out now? Yes! Huh? And this is my dog. Hello, there. Oh, Mr. Bunions, we
haven’t been introduced. Oh, pardon me, Bo Peep, Miss
Wickerstick, my assistant. How do you do? I love your dress. Oh, this old thing? I’ve had it forever! Have a seat Miss Bo Peep. Oh, here, allow me to help you. Now, how can we help you? I’m sorry. (Blowing nose) But I’m beside myself. I can’t find my sheep anywhere! You must help me,
Mr. Bunions, please! (Crying) There, there, Miss
Bo Peep, I’m sure if you just leave them
alone, they’ll come home. Yeah, yeah, I know, dragging
their tails behind them. Well, don’t count on it, believe
me, those sheep are naughty! My dog was supposed
to round them up, but he forgot, and
now they’re gone! And how many
sheep did you lose? Six in all. Can you describe them? Four legs, lots of wool. How long have
they been missing? A few days. Now, now, my dear, we’ll
try and find your sheep. I want you to go home
and get some rest. I’ll try! (Laughing) Hi, guys! Oh… (Audience laughing) We’ll be in touch, Bo Peep. Goodbye for now! Goodbye, Mr. Bunions. I’ll wait to hear from you. Goodbye, doggy. Goodbye, Hamilton! (Audience laughing) I mean, woof, woof! Oh, brother. (Drilling noise) Nedley! Hiya, Hamilton! Everybody wants
to get into the act. (Drilling noise) End of act one! (Whispering) Nedley! NEDLEY:
You know, I really
thought I fixed that door. Unfortunately, it’s
back on the floor. It’s very exciting. I wonder if Cecil Bunions
will find the sheep. The first act
was very short! Get your
pumpkin muffins! Small, medium, and large! We also have teeny weeny ones. We’ll take some
teeny weeny ones. BEAST:
Help yourselves! Thank you! Mmm, thanks! We’ll have three
large, please. You were very good. Thank you. Mmm! Thank you! And now,
we bring you act two of “Cecil Bunions, Private Eye.” Nedley, open the curtain! Well, we tried. We looked for those
sheep everywhere. (Yawning) All that searching
made me tired. Why don’t you take a nap
while I go for lemonade. We can look for
them again later. Good idea,
Miss Wickerstick. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. (Sheep bleating) Whoa! Miss Wickerstick, come quickly! Oh, Cecil, how did
you ever find them? I’ll reveal that when
Miss Bo Peep arrives. Stop that! Now, settle down! Bo Peep was right,
you are very naughty! I can’t wait until she
gets here and takes you home! Stop that! (Knocking on door) Come in! (Knocking on door) Oh… I hope that’s Bo Peep! Oh, Mr. Bunions,
you found them! How can I ever thank you? Just take them home, please! So, tell me, Mr. Bunions, how did you find my
sheep so quickly? It was really very simple. I pretended to go
and take a nap, and began to counting
them, and they appeared in my office, and I’ve
had them here ever since. Thank you again! Oh, think
nothing of it. Just another case solved by
Cecil Bunions, Private Eye! Well, I really
must get my sheep home. Come along sheep! I’ll mail you my bill
at the end of the month. Thank you! Oh, another case solved by
Cecil Bunions, Private Eye! (Audience cheering) Thank you, thank you very much! (Audience cheering) Thank you. Thank you! Bravo! (Sighing) x MAGGIE:
Icing on the cake. What’s taking
Hamilton so long? I don’t know, but I
think it’s time to eat. You always say that, Beast. Hamilton! I’m sorry, but
please, don’t rush me. This is going to be really fun! It hasn’t been so far. (Laughing) Beast,
that’s not nice. Hamilton would wait for you. Yeah, Beast,
Hamilton would wait for you. Hey, Hamilton, the clock is
ticking, we haven’t got all day! (Humming) (Whispering) Welcome to the Hamilton
Hocks Cooking Show! On today’s show,
Hamilton, the Master Chef, will teach us the
fine art of how to decorate a super
delicious seven layer raspberry swirl pumpkin
upside down cake! BOTH:
Mmm! Thank you, thank you! Good day, everyone, and
welcome to today’s show. I’m your chef, Hamilton Hocks. (Giggling) (Fancy music playing) (Applauding) Thank you! And now, our wonderful
recipe for super delicious seven layer raspberry swirl
pumpkin upside down cake! ALL:
Mmm! Now, first, you mix your
dry ingredients with your… Excuse me, Mr. Chef, do we get to eat the cake
when it’s finished? Yes, Beast, but
please, save all your questions until the
question and answer period. Now, first, you
have to bake your seven layers of pumpkin cake Oh, oh, over here! Excuse me, Mr. Chef? (Giggling) Yes? Mr. Chef, why can’t you show
us how to make cheesecake? That will be on
tomorrow’s show, Rudy. Hamilton, when are
you gonna decorate the cake? I sure am getting hungry. Beast, let
Hamilton do his show! Oh… Now, where was I? (Stomach grumbling) Ah, yes. Now, first, you have to
bake all seven layers of your cake, which, as you
can see, I have right here. (Stomach grumbling) Be careful not to
let them dry out! Now, to make the
icing, you’ll need icing sugar, butter,
water, egg whites, vanilla, grated lemon peel,
and food colouring. (Stomach grumbling) Oh! MAGGIE:
Beast, are you all right? Oh! There, there, Beast. Oh, brother. (Fancy music playing) Now, you are all going to learn
how to ice a cake properly. I’ve made each of you a small
cake to decorate yourselves. Great!
Neat! Yummy! And I have everything
you’ll need right here. So, please, line up! Single file, please. Now, here’s an icing tube and
a chef’s hat for each of you. Oh, this is so exciting! I’ve always wanted
to ice a cake! Woo! How do I look, Maggie? Like a real professional. And here are your cakes! Beast, I made yours the biggest! Oh, thank you, Hamilton! (Giggling) Yes, thank you, Hamilton. Thanks! You’re all very welcome! (Humming) And now, the food colouring! Hamilton, what
are these funny bags for? That is not a funny bag,
Beast, it’s an icing tube! It is used to make
decorations on a cake! I’ll show you
how to fill it. Make sure there
isn’t any air caught in your tube, or it could make a little explosion of
icing when you push it out. Like that? (Laughing) See? MAGGIE:
That’s beautiful, Hamilton! That looks delicious! Now, you guys try! Oh, no, help me, I’m stuck! Oh, dear! Stop playing in
your food, Rudy! I’m all covered in icing. Don’t worry, I’ll take you to the River of Dreams
to wash off. Okay, but be
careful with my hat. It’s the only one I’ve got! What is that
supposed to be? It’s highest mountain! And that? That’s Mr. Shivers,
the snowman. Hmm, it looks just like him! But now you can’t
even see the cake. Well, you know how
much I like icing! Your cake
looks very nice, Beast. Thank you, Maggie! MAGGIE:
There! What are those? Trees for the mountain. Oh! Well, here, let me help! You make great trees, Maggie. I think you’re
all done now, Beast. Hmm, no, not quite yet! There, now I’m all done! (Fancy music playing) I’m happy to inform all of you that your cakes
are now complete! Let’s take a look at what we
have made on today’s show. Hmm, they all look
good enough to eat! (Laughing) Well, that concludes
our program for today. On tomorrow’s
show, we will learn how to make a banana Belgian
waffle ice cream sundae. Hey, I thought
we were making cheesecake! And cheesecake! Thank you so much
for joining me today on the Hamilton
Hocks Cooking Show! (Applauding) Hamilton. Yes, Beast? Now, do we get
to eat the cakes? Yes, Beast, dig in! Mmm! (Everyone laughing) MAGGIE:
Where’s Maggie? (Humming) (Coughing) (Clearing throat) Are you finished
cleaning, Hamilton? I think so, I just
want everything to be perfect when Maggie gets back. (Sniffing) What kind of
cake did you bake? It’s a surprise! You’ll see when
Maggie gets here. Oh, please, tell me! No. Oh, all right. Just tell me
what kind of icing. You’ll have to wait! I can’t wait to see Maggie! Doesn’t it seem like she’s
been gone for a long time? Yes, it does, but it’s
really only been two days. Oh, I beg your pardon! Hamilton. HAMILTON:
Hmm? Do you think maybe
she’ll bring us something? I don’t know, Beast, she went to visit her cousins in a
place called, Beach Haven. Oh, remember a long time ago, she brought us something
called salt water taffy? Maybe she’ll bring
us that again! Mmm, that was so delicious! I liked the peppermint. Wintergreen, that
was my favourite. (Humming) (Sniffing) What do you think? About what? About these for the table! Oh, all right, I guess. You aren’t much help. I wish she’d hurry. She’ll be here any minute. Help me set the table
while we’re waiting. Here, Beast, you take the table, I’ll bring the cloth,
plates, and silverware. Hurry up, Hamilton! HAMILTON:
Keep your spots on, I’m looking for the
good sugar bowl. Hamilton. HAMILTON:
What? Maggie should have
been here by now. Hi, guys! Hi, Rudy. Hi, Rudy! I just stopped by to
welcome Maggie home. Isn’t she here yet? No! Hmm, that’s strange. She should be here soon. She’s been gone a long time. I really thought
she’d be here by now. Stay and wait with us, Rudy. We’re going to have
a special cake! I wish I could, but
I have to get back. And blueberry tea! You love blueberry tea! I do, but I just
stopped by to see Maggie. I’m baking cheesebread and it’ll be ruined if I don’t get home! Please tell her I
said, “Welcome home!” Let’s get the table ready. (Birds chirping) She really is late. Oh… Hamilton, is something wrong? No. Why do you look so funny? What do you mean, funny? You know, funny. Like when your box
had a hole in it. Oh… What’s wrong? I have a little stomach ache. And my head hurts. I’m sorry, what can I do? Nothing. I know, I’ll get you a
cold cloth for your head! No, Beast, just
stay here with me. I’ll be right back. (Sighing) How does that feel? Okay, thank you, Beast. Just rest, you’ll
feel better soon. Beast? Yes? I’m afraid maybe
Maggie’s not coming back. I am too! (Sniffling) (Crying) We have to try and
think positively! There’s a lot of reasons
she could be late. Do you really think so? (Blowing nose) Yes, I do! Name one. Maybe she stopped
to buy us something. (Gasping) You mean,
like salt water taffy? Right! That could be. (Crying) Don’t cry, Beast. I can’t help it. Maybe she found a new Beast! Yes, and maybe she
found a new little piggy. Maggie couldn’t find a
better little piggy than you. You really think so? Yes! Hamilton? Hmm? BEAST:
What will we do if
she doesn’t come back? Oh, don’t even think about it. But what will we do? We’ll just live
here in Nowhere Land. I’ll do the cooking
and you’ll… Hmm. I’ll do the eating! (Laughing) But nothing will ever be
the same without Maggie. I know. (Sighing) (Yawning) (Snoring) (Giggling) Huh? Huh? (Giggling) Maggie, am I dreaming
or is it really you? It’s really me, Hamilton! Oh, Maggie! It’s so good to see you! I’m sorry I’m so late. We had a flat tire driving home. Did you think I
wasn’t coming back? Oh, of course not! We were just anxious
to see you! Yes, and Hamilton
wanted to see you so bad that he got
a stomach ache! That’s not true, Beast, it was because I licked the
icing bowl for the cake I made for Maggie’s homecoming. You made a cake for me? Yes, I’ll get it now! Wait, I have a better idea. It’s late and I have
to go home for dinner. Why don’t we save the
cake for tomorrow? Look, I brought you
some salt water taffy! Mmm! Mmm,
this is delicious! Mmhmm! Let’s just sit here awhile. I think I’ll have
one more piece. Okay, just one more, we’ll
save the rest for tomorrow. I love you, Maggie. I love you too, Hamilton. ♪
