Quotes

• Robby: It’s 2 minutes till air time and Todd isn’t here.
• Tiffany: You know, he wasn’t feeling very well yesterday.
• Robby: You better call his house and see what’s going on.
• Tiffany: OK.
• Hillary: Triskin is giving me a hard time with better make-up.
• Nicole: Why?
• Hillary: Because I wanted to do something real different, and she won’t let you without Todd’s OK.
• Nicole: Where is he?
• Hillary: No one’s seen him this morning.
• Tiffany: He’s running a fever of 103. He’s got the flu and he can’t make it.
• Robby: What are we going to do?
• Tiffany: Well, you’re going to have to direct today.
• Robby: But I’ve never done it. What if I blew it?
• Tiffany: The show must go on, Robby. Just do your best.
• Robby: Everybody stand by on the floor. I have an announcement to make. Todd can’t make it today, so I’m going to direct the show. I need all your help and support to get through this. And cue!
• Chris: Good morning and welcome to The Kidsongs TV Show.
• Triskin: The one and only show made by kids, for kids and starring kids.
• Chris: Our music video countdown chart has music videos about basketball, the circus, fireman and a lot more.
• Triskin: So let’s get started with a trip to the circus and the parade of all the circus acts.
• Chris: You’ll see it now in our number 8 video: “Entry Of the Gladiators”.

• Chris: I think every little boy dreams of being a fireman at some time or another.
• Triskin: True. This next video, "I Wanna Be a Fireman", is about a little girl who wants to be a fireman.
• Chris: Do girls want to everything boys do these days? Isn't there anything left just for boys?
• Triskin: No.

• Chris: We'll be right back with more videos.
• Triskin: And more music.
• Hosts: And more fun after this.

• Robby: Stand by in the studio. We're back in 5. Julie Ann, give me a close up of Triskin.
• Julie Ann: Yes, sir.
• Robby: And cue!
• Triskin: This song dates back to the 1800's.
• Chris: It was a kids' hit then.
• Kids: And it's been a kids' hit ever since.
• Julie Ann: Isn't that getting a little bit old?

• Scott: 3, 2 and cue!
• Chris: This next song is very popular with the little ones, but I have to admit. I still like it.
• Triskin: I know what you mean. It's just so tempting to sing and play along.
• Chris: So here's our number 2 track: "The Bus Song".

• Chris: I hope you enjoyed our show today.
• Triskin: I'd like to thank you for watching, but most of all I'd like to thank our director Robby.
• Chris: He's the kind of guy who comes through when the going gets rough.
• Hosts: Bye everybody.
• Camera/Floor Crew: Bye.
• Robby: Whew, we made it.
• Tiffany: Hey, everybody. Let's buy Robby lunch.
• Kids: YEAH!!
• Julie Ann: We better not tell Todd about this?
• Robby: Todd who?
