Quotes

• Tina: So, what I was thinking is that it might be more fun to have a little more character impersonality to your role as host.
• Chris: Why? You mean you think I'm boring?
• Tina: No, Chris. You're great, but you're always being you. I just thought it might be more fun to take a bit of a chance.
• Chris: Well then, I got an idea.
• Tina: What?
• Chris: You'll see.
• Todd: Scott, ask Tina to clear. We're 10 seconds to air.
• Scott: Ms. Espinoza, please clear the camera. Thank you.

(she does so and Chris leaves his director's chair)

• Scott: We're on the air in 5 seconds.
• Todd: In 4, 3, 2 and...
• Triskin: Good morning and welcome to The Kidsongs TV Show. (Chris returns as Sylvester Stallone) The one and only show made by kids, for kids and starring kids.
• Chris: (imitating Sylvester Stallone) You know, each week, we go to 8 real cool music videos for youse. This first one is a real cool song we made, a baseball video about it.
• Triskin: It's called "Centerfield" and it's number 8 on this morning's Kidsongs chart.

(Chris does his skills as Stallone)

• Triskin: Why you please stop that?

• Tina: Hey, I don't think the Sylvester Stallone imitation works. Let's try it straight.
• Chris: OK. Nicole?
• Tiffany: Clip is ending in 5, 4...
• Scott: 3, 2 and...
• Triskin: Now it's time to see dolphins dive and sea lions bark.
• Chris: And killers whales jump and twirl. Why are you saying the lyrics to this song?
• Triskin: Cause it's such a catchy tune.
• Chris: I think you'll agree. Here's "Water World".

• Chris: Tina, I have another great idea for a character.
• Tina: OK, try it.
• Scott: And in 3, 2 and...
• Chris: (imitating W.C. Fields) Drat! It's time for the introduction to yet another phantasmagorical display of fantasies, my little chickadee.
• Triskin: Huh?
• Chris: We going to take a video voyage to the soporific state of Texas, my pretty petunia.
• Triskin: I think he's trying to say it's time our video of "Deep in the Heart of Texas".
• Chris: Exactly, but I'd rather be in Philadelphia.
• Robby: I think he's trying to do W.C. Fields.
• Todd: I know, we're in trouble.

• Scott: 3, 2 and...
• Triskin: Well, that finishes off today's Kidsongs countdown of your favorite hits.
• Chris: We hope you enjoyed watching today as much as we enjoyed making it.
• Triskin: We'll be back next week with an all new episode of The Kidsongs TV Show...
• Chris: Made by us...
• Triskin: Just for you.
• Hosts: Bye, everybody.
• Camera and Floor Crew: Bye!

• Chris: (imitating W.C. Fields) I think it's time for a divine display of continental cuisine. Will you join me, my dear?
• Triskin: Are you asking me out to lunch, big boy?
• Chris: Of course, my little chickadee.
