Barney the Dinosaur

[edit]
  • [evil groans] Huh? Oh, no! No! I gotta get driving lessons. Oh, I'm fine. Wait for minute. I don't know.
  • Oh, that's ring number four. Only one more to go. Come back! Please! You can't our egg! No!
  • Right! Yes!
  • Okay.
  • We're gonna hit... the haystack!
  • It's cracking.

Baby Bop

[edit]
  • Excuse me. Uh, I said excuse me! Oh, that's better. I'm looking for my blankie. It's this big, and it's really, really soft, and it's yellow.

[giggles]

  • Do you know where my blankie is?
  • Oh, well... uh, thank you. Okay, you can go on now.
  • It's wiggling.

Grandpa Greenfield

[edit]
  • Eliza... the kids are here. Shake a leg now.
  • Much. Come on.
  • Yes. Don't worry. Everything will be okay. Cody. Tiger. Come on.

Grandma Greenfield

  • They're here? Oh, my goodness. George, do I look all right?
  • George, what is it?
  • My stars! What happened? All you all right?

Dialogue

[edit]
[first lines]
Barney: Oh, boy! It looks like everybody's here!
B.J.: Oh, man, this is gonna be so cool!
Baby Bop: Oh, I can't wait to eat popcorn and sing along and... oh, and see the movie!
[All three of them laugh.]
Barney: Well then, here we go!
Baby Bop: Roll 'em!
[The screen fades from black. During the song that plays throughout the opening credits, we see a green minivan drive through the countryside and the title kicks in. In the minivan, a dad drives, a mom looks at a map, a girl holds Barney (as a doll), another girl stitches lanyard, while a boy plays on his GameBoy, and a baby sits in his seat, silently.]
Marcella: Are we there yet?
Kate Newton: Your turn.
Colton Newton: No, not yet, Marcella.
Abigail "Abby" Newton: Oh, it's taking too long!
Cody Newton: [annoyed, to Abigail] What's your hurry?? They're dumping us for a whole week!
Colton: Oh, come on, Cody, you're going to have a great time. You can help Grandpa with the farm chores, like, uh... "milking the chickens!"
Others: [laugh]
Cody: Get the doll out of my face!
[Marcella takes the Barney doll out of Cody's face, just as she and Abby are about to say...]
Abby/Marcella: Talk to the hand, 'cause the face ain't home, leave a message at the tone: beep! [both laugh: What they were going to say was "Abby and Marcella can't come to the phone. Please leave a message after the beep... beep! If you are satisfied with your message, press one or hang up!"]
Marcella: Do you like dinosaurs?
Cody: What about them?
Abby: That's Barney!
Cody: I know, it's Barney. The whole world knows it's Barney, and he's a stuffed doll!
Marcella: You're wrong. Barney can walk and talk.
Abby: And sing! And dance!
Colton: Batteries not included.
[Laughter from Marcella, Abby and Kate]
Cody: Sing and dance?
Abby: We use our imaginations.
Cody: Your imaginations? That's kid stuff!
Abby: That's all right - we are kids! [she laughs with Marcella as the family pass a street in the town of Merrivale. There's a sign above them reading "Merrivale Apple Day Festival"]
Colton: Hey, look, Merrivale Apple Day Festival - parade, circus, hot air balloons, fireworks... wow!
Abby: It's tomorrow! Can Grandma and Grandpa bring us?
Colton: Um...
Kate Newton: Well, maybe, but don't count on it, okay?
Cody: Oh, great! The one good to do in town, and we'll probably miss it!
Grandpa: Delilah, the kids are here, shake a leg now!
Grandma: They're here? Oh, my goodness! Geroge.
[The girls furrow their brows slightly, eyes closed, as they "use their imaginations". Cody finds this amusing. Abby opens one eye long enough to give her brother a dirty look, then both girls redouble their efforts - eyes tightly shut, faces humorously scrunched.]
Cody: Gee, no Barney? Maybe you're not trying hard enough!
[From the GIRLS POV, we see Cody laughing. But behind him, as soon as they hear the shower turning on, all three kids react with surprise. Cody slowly turns around to look. We see a CLOSE UP of the bathtub's legs... as they VISIBLY BEND under immense weight! The girls open their eyes, slack-jawed, and the water turns off. A pregnant moment ticks by, and Cody s-l-o-w-l-y starts to reach for the curtain’s edge. Suddenly, a purple hand pulls back the curtain! We see BARNEY, still with some drops of water on him. Cody falls to the floor in surprise, and Marcella and Abby are amazed.]
Barney: [jolly] A towel, please! [At this pedestrian request, the two girls smile... then begin to laugh. Cody remains stunned - his hand still outstretched. Barney starts to climb from the tub. CLOSE-UP of tub legs as they flex back up to normal position. Marcella grabs a BATH TOWEL and hands it to Barney.] Thank you, Marcella!
Marcella: [As Barney buffs himself dry with the towel, she says...] He knows my name.
[Barney notices that Cody is still standing with his arm outstretched... and nicely drapes the moist towel over it.]
Barney: Oh, and thank you, Cody! It's so nice to have a shower after a long car trip. Now, what were we playing before, Abby?
Abby: We were playing a game of pretend, remember?
Barney: Oh, right! I just love to pretend.
Marcella: Hey, why don't we go play in the barn?
Cody: Okay, "Barney"... you're really here, 'cause in my imagination... then you're about to disappear!
Abby/Marcella: Co-dy!
[Cody scrunches his eyes tightly shut.]
Cody: I... do... not... believe in you!
[Cody slowly opens his eyes. From Cody's POV, we see Marcella and Abby looking at him with faint annoyance. Barney is noticeably absent between them. Cody smiles with relief... then is suddenly startled when Barney leans into frame and puts a hand on Cody's shoulder! The two are practically nose to nose.]
Barney: [Warm & Significant] That's okay, Cody. [a beat] I believe in you...
[He chuckles as he gives Cody a Barney-sized hug.]
Cody: [grumps] Barney the Dinosaur is not in this barn!
[That night, after dinner...]
Cody: I'm telling you, Barney's in your barn.
Grandma: I know. Cody, you told us at dinner.
Grandpa: Several times.
Cody: Listen to me, Grandma, Grandpa. Barney the Dinosaur is in your barn! ( no audio ) Isn't he?
Abby: Yeah!
Marcella: Barney likes your barn.
Grandma: Well, I'm glad he likes it. Marcella, don't leave your little doll out there all night.
Cody: Barney isn't just a little doll. He's very big.
Grandpa: Oh, sure, he's big now, but you just wait. These fads come and go.
Grandma: Now, Cody, I did not notice at the table... that someone ate like a dinosaur night.
Grandpa: No! Handsome fellow like me have to be careful what I eat. Got to watch my figure. I don't want to lose my girlfriend. Cody, I first met your grandmother when I was about your age. We were childhood sweethearts.
Grandma: Come on, handsome, you help me with the dishes now.
Grandpa: Oh, gee, I'd like to but, uh, that dishwater makes my fingers all wrinkly.

[girls giggling]

Grandma: That's fine. They'll just match your sweet wrinkly face. Come on.
Grandpa: Okay. Okay. Oh, and, Cody, you watch that barn for any more dinosaurs, okay?
Cody: Funny. Real funny.
Marcella: You tell him, Cody. Pretty night, huh?
Abby: Yeah!
Marcella: Oh, yeah!
Barney: It's beautiful!
Cody: Hey! Whoa!
Barney: Whoops!
Cody: Get me out of here, Barney!

[girls giggling]

Barney: Uh--uh, sorry!
Cody: Sure, you are.
Marcella: Oh, that was funny!
Barney: Where are your grandparents?
Abby: You just missed them.
Barney: Well, I'm sure I'll see them soon.
Cody: Yeah, but will they see you?
Marcella: Barney, can you push us on the swing?
Barney: I'd be happy to.
Marcella: Cool!
Barney: Ralph, a little guitar music, please.
Abby: Whoa, awesome finish!
Barney: Well, actually, I think it was a flea.
Marcella: Come on, Barney, we're going to play in the attic.
Abby: We're pretending it's a castle.
Barney: Oh, boy!
Marcella: I'm gonna be a princess.
Abby: I'm gonna be the knight.
Barney: Um... aren't you going to play, Cody?
Cody: What, some stupid pretend game? No way. Definitely not cool.
Barney: Oh, well, uh, what do you think is cool?
Cody: Rock singers who spit fire, professional wrestling--Real stuff.
Barney: Oh, I see. But, you know, Cody, even for grown-ups, the real adventures in life start with... a dream.
Cody: A dream? Prove it!
Barney: Oh, you can only prove it to yourself, Cody. But you could start, uh, mmm, ah, you could start by wishing on a star.
Cody: A star? As if. Stars are only glowing balls of gas a jillion miles from here.
Barney: Oh, but I think there's a very special wishing star in the sky tonight and it's right about there.
Cody: Whoa! What me to make a wish? I'll make a wish. I wish! I wish! I wish could have are real adventure this summer! Do things that no one else has done before! That would be cool! How's that for a wish, Barney? Barney? Barney? ( sighs ) Man, I must be losing it!
Cody: [sighs] Whoa!

[pail shakes]

Cody: What's going on?

[Barney whimpering]

Barney: Well! Uh, Um, To tell you the truth! I, Uh.
Marcella: Hey, maybe it'll Grandma will know.
Abby: Let's go ask her.
Barney: Oh, okay. [Cody spins Barney around then his farmer suit disappear back to himself again] Wait for me! [Barney runs out of the barn after the kids]

[footsteps running]

Cody: Well, Barney has it!
Grandpa: Right! Where's Barney?
Cody: I'll go find out! Make sure they don't go anywhere!
Abby: You have to see this egg.
Marcella: What bird lady?
Grandma: She's a birdwatcher, dear, and I think she knows everything and eggs and birds. Why don't you children go on over there?
Cody: Never mild. I'm taking you to see my grandparents right now.
Barney: Oh, well, good. Bye, Fig! I'll just, uh...
Cody: Oh, Grandma will be in a second, okay? Hey, wait for me!
Abby: We'll be needing this.
Cody: What, where are you going?
Abby: To take the egg to Ms. Goldfinch! Hurry up!
Barney: Okay!
Cody: Wait! I want Grandma and Grandpa to see it right now!
Barney: Oh!
Cody: Grandma!

[evil thunderclaps to at once]

Barney: Come on, Agnes.
Marcella: Do we have much farther to go?
Abby: I don't think so.
Cody: I don't remember it looking like this last year.
Marcella: Maybe, we're lost.
Abby: Barney?
[Abby and Marcella, except Cody, shouted at Barney]
Barney: Look what I found! [Barney moves the branch up and the swan sign said Goldfinch] That way.
Cody: There is no that way.
Barney: Well, the egg will hatch, when all five of these rings light up. But it'll only hatch in the very spot where Cody it.
Abby: In the barn!
Ms. Goldfinch: Oh, Hovering hummingbirds, You're right! There's three more to go! Oh, you better get that egg back to the barn right away!
Cody: Oh, come on! You're dreaming if you think that--
Ms. Goldfinch: Cody, be careful!
Barney: Oh, no!
Marcella: Oh, no! No, no!
Abby: No, no, no!
Marcella: No!
Cody: No, stop!
Marcella: No!
Children: No!
Miss Goldfinch: Go, go, go!
Cody: I'm taking the fast way!
Mr. Millet: See you, Miss Goldfinch!
Barney: No, wait, Mr. Millet, stop! You've got our egg!
Girls: Mr. Millet, stop! You've got our egg!
Abby: Don't let him get away!
Marcella: Stop, stop!
Barney: Oh, no! Mr. Millet!
Cody: Come back here, Mr. Millet! Come on, let's get on a horse and go!
Abby: But we can't all ride on Agnes!

[crowd cheering]

Baby Bop: Excuse me. Uh, I said excuse me!

[cheering stops]

Baby Bop: Oh, that's better. I'm looking for my blankie. It's big, and it's really, really soft and it's yellow. [giggles] Do you know where my blankie is?
All Crowd: No, we don't!
Baby Bop: Oh, well... uh, thank you. Okay, you can go on now.

[crowd cheers']

Barney: Mr. Millet, Mr. Millet! Stop!
Abby: Oh, I can't look!
Marcella: Oh, tell me when it's over!
Barney: Oh, that's very impressive!
Cody: Hey, don't scramble our egg!
Barney: No, stop! Oh! Oh, look, it's turning green!
Abby: That's number three!
Marcella: Oh, just two more to go!
Cody: Hey, where'd it go?
Barney: But I don't know!
Marcella: Look, there it is! No, mister, don't do it!
Cody: No!
Marching Band Musician: [blows sousaphone]
Children: No, mister, don't blow!
Marching Band Musician: [He blows stuck harder and egg lands out of a sousaphone...]
Barney: Go after it! Come on!
Cody: Let's go get it! Let's go!
Barney: Oh, hurry!
Abby: Where is it?
Barney: Oh, there it goes!
Football Player B.J.: [and it lands on his hands.] Wide open! Touchdown! Ha-ha! Yeah!
Cody: What?
Abby/Marcella: B.J.?
Football Player B.J.: B.J. makes the play of the game! The world's greatest football player, B.J.! Yeah!
Abby: Great catch, B.J.!
Football Player B.J.: You should see me throw! [He throws the egg...]
Barney: What?
Abby: No!
Barney: Oh, no!
Cody: No! [it rolls on Chez Snobbe's roof and it landed on woman's hat.] It's on that woman's hat!
Barney: Well, she's going into that restaurant!
Marcella: What are we waiting for? Let's go!
Barney: Quick, after her!
Cody: Yeah, come on, hurry up!
Football Player B.J.: Oh, man, I'm really, really sorry!
Barney: Oh, that's okay, B.J., you didn't mean to do anything wrong.
Football Player B.J.: But Barney, I...
Barney: I gotta go, bye! Wait for me!
Football Player B.J.: Okay.
Abby: Where's the egg? I don't see it.
Barney: Very fancy!
Abby: There it is!
Cody: Let's go get it!
[Woman laughs and on top of waiter's dish and tray]
Waiter: Welcome to Chez Snobbe. Come right this way, please.
Abby: Where's the egg?
Marcella: We're just gonna have to look.
Barney: Maybe I could create a little distraction to get everyone's attention.
Cody: Man, they're gonna throw us outta here for sure. Well, what exactly are you gonna do, Barney?
Abby: Barney, where'd he go?
Cody: Barney?
Abby: Barney, here is he?
Marcella: Look!
Barney: Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Chez Snobbe, I'd like to invite you to sing along... with one of the all-time great musical masterpieces. Maestro?
Cody: What's he doing up there?
Children: Now's our chance! That's the distraction! Come on, guys!
Cody: Eww! Not in there. Enjoy your thing!
Marcella: Eww, snails? You really eat this stuff?
Abby: We looked all over and we can't find it anywhere!
Barney: Look, there it is! Quick, after it! Thank you! Thank you!
French Waiter: [speaking French]
Barney: [specking French]
Children: There it is, Barney!
Barney: Oh, look, May I? Salmon? Oh, where's the egg?
Waiter: Oh, that great big colorful thing?
Together: Yes!
Waiter: We put it in a "to-go" sack.
Abby: What?
Waiter: We sent it back to those clowns at the circus.
Together: The circus?
Waiter: They've been playing tricks on us ever since they got to town. It's one of their takeout orders. [laughs] Wait until they crack it open.
Children: Crack it open??
Barney: What?? Oh, I don't like the sound of that! Come on, everybody! Bye-bye! So long!
Cody: It's got to be in one of those bags.
Abby: Let's split up. I'll go with Marcella.
Marcella: And you two go together.
Barney: Okay! Wait, this way.
Abby: Did you see an egg about this big it has stripes on it?
Man: No, no, no.
Marcella: Look, look in the bag. Turn it, turn it... [sighs]
Cody: Very colorful stripes around it!
Barney: Sure, have you seen that?
Cody: Yeah!
Marcella: Um, have you seen our egg it's about this big?
Contortionist: No!
Abby: Mister, have you seen our egg has colorful rings on it?
Barney: Excuse me, could you help me out? I'm looking for an egg. I really need to find it.
[squeaks]
BOTH: No!
Unicycle holding a sandwich: No!
Trampolinist: No!
BOTH: Did you find it? Did you guys find it? I didn't see it anywhere.
Marcella: There it is! There it is!
Barney: Oh, quick, get it! Get it!
Cody: Hurry! Get it! Hurry!
Barney: Oh, no! There it goes.
Marcella: Come on, get it! Hurry!
Abby: Somebody catch it.
[bounce]
Barney: Nice bounce! Whoa! Oh! Oh, stop it, no! Go after it. Excuse me.
Juggler: Wow! You caught me by surprise, my large purple friend. I like surprises. Surprises are for birthdays and birthdays go with cakes.
Abby: But, mister--
Juggler: Whoa! [birthday cake drops] What is it, young lady?
Abby: That's our egg you're juggling.
Juggler: That's good, I like eggs. Eggs are for breakfast and that means frying pans.
Marcella: It's a dream maker!
Abby: Please, I'm worried about it.
Juggler: Well, young lady, if there's a sudden gust of gravity, will the dream maker bounce?
Abby: No!
Juggler: Then we're both worried about it. There is a way to stop... called the Peking Duck trick.
Barney: How does that go?
Juggler: The Peking Duck trick goes like this. First you all close your eyes. Are you peeking?
BOTH: No!
Juggler: Than duck...
BOTH: Oh!
Barney: Oh! Hmm, oh! [thunderclaps] Where'd it go? Where's the egg?
Cody: Where's the egg?
Barney: I don't--
BOTH: Where's the juggler?
Abby: Uh, please?
Barney: Well, oh, no.
Cody: Oh, great! Oh, no!
Barney: Come on, everybody, let's go!
Cody: Come on! Let's go under the tent! Let's go in here for a while.
Barney: Oh, sorry! Oh, hurry! Oh, whew!
Cody: This is not good.
Marcella: It's just... gone.
Abby: We've lost the egg and this time we're never going to find it.
Barney: Well, don't give up. [light snaps] When the rain stops, we can look around some more and then maybe we can find it.
Cody: [enraged] We already looked around! We're not gonna find it, we've lost it!!
Abby: [mad] You don't even wanna find it, you never did!! It was crazy kid stuff!!
Cody: [changes his anger into shock] Wait! No!
Abby: [gets angrier] What's wrong with just being a kid, Cody? What's wrong with that?

[Abby's anger turned to sadness and a tear rolled down from her eye. Barney walks up to Abby and kneels down to her and gently comfort her.]

Marcella: Okay, all aboard the log.
Abby: Okay!
Barney: Okay!
Cody: We're gonna pretend that this is the fastest, coolest airplane in the whole world.
Marcella: You think a log can fly?
Cody: We gotta try.
Abby: Okay, I will.
Marcella: Here goes.
Barney: Prepared for takeoff, Captain.
Abby: Make believe. Make believe.
Marcella: Flying with the wind in our hair.
Cody: Flying should be easy. It's kid stuff. Come on!
Abby: Faster!
Marcella: We can do this, we can.
Barney: Oh, I think we need your help. I'd like you to pretend that we can really fly. Let's all do it together. Ready? 1, 2, 3, now!
Cody: It's working!
Barney: Whoa! Thank you! Whoa-oa-oa-oa!

[music playing and chorus vocalizing softly]

Barney: But-- huh? Oh, no! Excuse me. I'm fine.
Hot Air Balloon Collector: Good luck!
Abby/Marcella: Oh, no! He let it go too soon!
Barney: Come on, Cody! Get under it!
Cody: Go!
Marcella: Faster, Cody, faster! We got to get under it, Cody!
Barney: Hurry! Whoa!
Abby/Marcella: Faster! Go! Go! Go! Hurry!
Barney: Cody, you'd better watch it!
Cody: I'm gonna break the sound barrier!
Barney: That's it! Faster!
Cody: [screaming]
Barney: Faster!
Abby/Marcella: Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Come on, Cody!
Barney: Okay, Get ready now! We're almost there, keep going! Okay, Abby. Okay, Marcella, catch it.
Abby: Go!
Barney: Come on!
Abby: Got it!
Barney: That's it!
Marcella: Yeah!
Barney: Way to go, Abby!
Barney: Yes, I know. A lot of hay.
Grandma: What is it? Where it come from?
Barney: [chuckles]
B.J.: Look out, below! Yahoo!
Barney: [chuckles]
Marcella: Cool!
Abby/Marcella: [laughs]
Barney: [chuckles again]
B.J.: Hi, guys was that cool or what? Whoa!
Barney: Hi, B.J.!
B.J.: Alright! Hi, Barney!
Grandpa: Whoa, hold it, let's start over again, this is all about an egg?
Barney: That's right!
B.J.: Hey, where is it?
Marcella: It's right here!
Cody: It got away from us for a while but we finally found it.
Grandma: Oh, my, what's it doing?
Barney: The last ring is light up!

[music playing and chorus vocalizing softly]

Marcella: It's time for the dream maker to hatch.
Abby: Quick, Cody. You've gotta put the egg back... exactly where you found it.
Barney: Oh, hurry! Oh... come on!
B.J.: Go, Cody!
Cody: No problem. The egg was right here. (He throws the egg and it lands on Baby Bop's blanket)
Barney: Cody!
Cody: No!
Baby Bop: Oh, look, I found my blankie!
All: Yeah!
Cody: Yes!
Abby: Yeah! Hey, come on!
[all chattering]
Baby Bop: Did I do something good?
Abby/Marcella: Yeah!
Cody: Barney?
Barney: Yes, Cody?
Cody: I'd just like to say that... I guess I was a big duofus before and I think you're pretty cool.
Barney: Oh, thank you, Cody. I think you're pretty cool, too.
Marcella: Hey, Barney, now can we see your dream?
Abby: Hey, where's Twinken? We want to see Barney’s dream.
Barney: Twinken is gone?
Baby Bop: Where is he?
B.J.: Twinken?
Barney: I don't know.
Baby Bop: Twinken?
Barney: Twinken?
Baby Bop: Here, Twinken!
Barney: Twinken?
Cody: He's got away!
Barney: Oh, oh, no!
Grandma: Where is he going?
Cody: Where's Twinken?
Abby: There is he, over the house.
Baby Bop: Good night, everybody! Good night, Twinken!
[Twinken is waving goodbye before Barney and Twinken are about to transform into toy forms and Baby Bop and B.J. are going to disappear]
B.J.: We'll see you later, guys! [no audio]
Baby Bop: Bye-bye!
[everyone is leaving while we say goodbye]
[last lines]
Grandpa: [laughs] Barney, this is the-- [they realized Barney is gone] Where is he? Well, now they're both gone!
Abby: Well, Barney wouldn't just leave!
Grandma: No!!!
Baby Fig: [garbled] Barney.
[Everyone saw Twinken and Barney now back to his doll form]
Baby Fig: [coos]
