[Jujubes are poured into a box. Rolf reaches in and plucks one out. He puts it into his mouth and chews on it happily. Another one follows it, and Jimmy comes up behind him.]

Jimmy: "Brother Rolf, are you trying to weasel out of your friendship duties?"

[Rolf, mouth full, signals his innocence to Jimmy and begins making papier-mache.]

Jimmy: "Silly me. I was just pulling your leg, silly!" [He takes a newly dipped sheet of newspaper.] "Thank you. Friendship is all about friends working together. Isn't that right, Brother Jonny?"

Jonny: [taking the paper from Jimmy] "You bet your sweet patootie, Brother Jimmy!"

[Jonny sticks the sheet on a gigantic red heart.]

Sarah: [painting] "This papier-mache heart was a great idea, Brother Jimmy!"

Jimmy: "Sister Sarah?"

Sarah: "Yes, Brother Jimmy?"

Jimmy: "Gotcha!" [He tweaks Sarah's nose with a glue covered finger. The kids giggle happily.]

Sarah: "You little rascal, you."

[Everyone joins in on the laughter this time; it is a laugh not of meanness, but of joy, contentment, and friendship.]

Jonny: [hugging Plank] "I love you too, buddy."

Nazz: [approaching the heart] "Hey! That's so cool, guys!"

Jimmy: "Oh, oh hi Nazz! Hi Kevin! Join us, won't you? It's Friendship Day!"

Nazz: "Aw, that's so cute, Jimmy!" [They embrace.]

Kevin: "What a bore."

Jonny: "Whoopee! All done, Brother Jimmy!"

Jimmy: "Hah?"

Sarah: "Hurry, come see! It's beautiful."

Nazz: "Isn't it adorable, Kevin?"

Kevin: "What am I doing here?" [He sees Rolf holding hands with Jimmy.] "Rolf! Not you, too!"

Jimmy: "Let's hold hands, Brother Kevin, and sing an ode of joy to friendship."

[The kids join hands, forming a semicircle around the heart.]

Sarah: "Hit it, Brother Jimmy."

Jimmy:

When you stub your toe

And it hurts you know

The Kids:

Friends are there to help you

When you trip on your face

And your teeth are misplaced

Friends are there to help you

When you're flying low

And you're giving a show

Friends are there to help you

When you take off your shoe

And your feet stink PEE-YEW!

Friends are there to help you.

[As the verse closes, a smile spreads across Kevin's face.]

Jimmy: "Second verse, same as the first!"

The Kids:

When you stub your toe

And it hurts you know

Friends are there to help you

When you trip on your face

And your teeth are misplaced
