Buck Now, where to begin? How about Once upon a time? How many times have you heard that to begin a story? Let's do something else. I got it. I got it. Here we go.

Bragging Rights in Oakey Oaks Baseball Match
Acorn Mascot Lean to the left. Lean to the right. C'mon Acorns. Fight, fight, fight! Go, Acorns!
Don Bowwoser There's excitement in the air, ladies and gentlemen. It's been two decades since Oakey Oaks has beaten rivals the Spud Valley Taters. Down by only a single run, and with a player in scoring position, we finally have a chance again. This excitement isn't about the fun of baseball, it's not about the prize. It's about gloating and rubbing their noses in it, the "Nah-nah-na-na-na! We beat you!" taunting, if you will, that comes with the winning.
Crowd Yeah!
Don Bowwoser That's right. Oakey Oaks and the Honorable Mayor Turkey Lurkey will finally have bragging rights again for one full year!
Don Bowwoser But this battle has taken a heavy toll on our hometown heroes. After nine grueling innings and several players out with injuries, the Acorns are scraping the bottom of the roster. Hopefully, there's just enough muscle on the bench to pull out a win. Up next... Chicken Little.
[shuddering]
Don Bowwoser Clearly a long shot, folks. Little hasn't been up to bat once since joining the team.
Cougar He's gonna lose the game for us!
Don Bowwoser Wait! If he can get a walk and advance to first, that powerhouse Foxy Loxy can step up and save us all. She's had a terrific game so far. A shoo-in for the MVP trophy.
Coach Okay, kid. Listen up. You have an itty-bitty, teeny-tiny strike zone. There's no way he can throw you out! Take the walk. Don't swing.
Chicken Little Yeah. But, coach. I have a good feeling...
Coach Look. Look at me, look at me. Don't swing, take the walk, you hear me? Just take the walk.
Chicken Little But, coach, wait!
Coach Don't swing!
Don Bowwoser Nervous, gangly, barely able to hold the pine, Little advances to the box. He's going to bat from the right. Make it the left. No, the right. The right.
Stork Easy out!
Don Bowwoser Left field's found something better to do, center field's got a hunger pang in his second stomach and right field's digging for grubs.
Horse Play ball!
Cougar Why him, why now?
[sadly; cries]
Chicken Little I won't embarrass you, Dad. Not this time.
Don Bowwoser Here's the wind-up, the pitch! It's a high cutter.
Horse Ball!
Horse Uh... Strike one!
Don Bowwoser Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it; I've seen roadkill with faster reflexes. The catcher lays down the signals. Here's the pitch, urve ball low and outside, he swings!
Horse Stee-rike two!
Turkey Lurkey Ohh!
Coach I said, don't swing!
Crowd Don't swing!
Morkubine No!
Horse Batter up!
Tensions Rise Over Unwanted Interruptions
Firehouse Dog Chicken Little, what is it? What's going on?
[coughs; '''Chicken Little''': The sky is falling! The sky is falling!]
Cougar Why him? Why now?

[angrily grabs Runt's ear; pulls Runt out of the scene; '''Runt''': Mom, you leave Barbra out of this!]

[sighs; sighs]
Buck Okay, thank you for talking to me. I'll take care of my son.
[clears throat]
Chicken Little Dad, it wasn't my fault. It was Foxy. She's always...
Buck That's all right. It's fine. You don't have to explain anything.
Chicken Little Uh... Uh, Hey, Dad? I was thinking. Yeah, what if I...? What if...? What if I joined the baseball team?
Man Hey, why don't you watch where you're going?!
Buck Cluck Sorry, there, buddy! Sorry, sorry! Baseball? Son, we talked about this.
Chicken Little Yeah, right. But, you know, that was when I was small. I put on five ounces this year, I've really bulked up.
Buck Really, son? Baseball? Are you sure?
Chicken Little Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, hey, why not, right?
Buck Yeah, why not, but why?
Chicken Little Well, Dad, you were such a big baseball star in high school. You could give me some pointers.
Buck But, son, you know, I'm just wondering, maybe baseball isn't exactly your thing, you know? Have you considered the chess team or the glee club? And some teenagers, you know, they get quite a rush from stamp-collecting! You wanna stop? We'll get some stamps...
Chicken Little No, I don't like stamps.
Buck Colors, colorful things...
Chicken Little No, I was thinking baseball! I can't wait to see the look on your face when I smash that ball in for a touchdown! Dad, um, I'm kidding. That was a joke.
Buck Just do me one favor, son.
Chicken Little Why, sure, Dad, anything.
Buck Just please try not to get your hopes too high.
Chicken Little Yeah, but Dad I mean. Yeah, I mean, I think I can...I...Okay, Dad.

Puppy Gee, thanks, Dad!

Abby Bizarre. Okay. Let me guess. You haven't told your dad yet.
[Runt whimpers]
Chicken Little Well...
Abby I knew it! Why haven't you told him? Because there hasn't been you, your dad, talk-talk-talking.
Chicken Little There was talking. There was...There was definitely talking.
Abby Oh, really? What did he say? What? Alright, that's it! We are doing an intervention, you have got to stop messing around and deal with the problem!
[Chicken Little only making stammering things]
Runt She's right!
Chicken Little Abby, please. This is exactly what fell on me the first time. There's no way I'm bringing this up again with him.
Runt No, he's not!
Abby Runt!
Runt Sorry! I'm a gutless flip-flopper.
Abby Okay. I'm sure there's a simple, logical explanation. I mean, it could be a piece of weather balloon, or maybe it's part of some experimental communications satellite.
Chicken Little I don't care what it is. I want it out of my life, gone for good. Everything back to normal.
Abby Hey, remember when that icy blue stuff fell from the sky? Everybody thought it was from space and stuff? And it just turned out to be frozen pee from a jet airplane.
Runt Yeah, that's right. It's frozen pee. Yeah. It's frozen pee. Pee, pee, pee, pee pee.

Buck Uh...
Chicken Little Gotta go! Dad! Bye!
Buck You gotta be ready to listen to your children, even if they have nothing to say.
A Moment to Talk with Dad
Abby If there ever was a time to talk to your dad...it's now.
Chicken Little It's too late for that.
Runt It's too late, baby, now it's too late. Though they really did try to make it.
[sobbing]
Abby Runt, just think about it.
Runt Something inside has died and they just can't hide and they just can't fake it. Oh, no, no.
Chicken Little Runt, I really just want to be alone right now. Oh! Abby! Runt! Fish! Look! There! Look there! Look there!

Runt It's true! They had eyes...They're glowing and then tentacles! And maps with planets with X's through them! AAHHH!!
Mama Runt Runt, that's enough! Don't make mommy take away your Streisand collection!
[angrily grabs Runt's ear; pulls Runt out of the scene]
Runt Mom, can you leave Barbra out of this!
Principal Fetchit Why can't you keep that child of yours under control?!
Mama Vulture What kind of parent are you?!
Chicken Little I'm telling you the truth! Dad! Dad! I am not making this up! You gotta believe me this time.
Buck No, son. I don't. I can't tell you how embarrassed I am, folks. I'm really sorry about this, everyone. Looks like this is just a big, crazy misunderstanding.
[sighs, pauses; chuckles]
Turkey Lurkey Well, other than the penny, this whole evening was a wash!

Chicken Little No, no, no! It's true! Come with me!
Buck No, son? What?
Chicken Little It happened under the old oak tree! I'm not making this up. I know it's here. There's a piece of the sky somewhere, somewhere on the ground. It was shaped just like that!
[stammering]
Dog It looks like a stop sign?
Chicken Little Yes! Only it doesn't say stop and it's blue and it has a cloud on it. And it hit me on the head! It looked like a stop sign.
Person Oh, wait! What's that?
Buck Son, is this what hit you?
All What?
Chicken Little Oh, no, Dad. It was definitely a piece of the sky!
Buck Piece of the sky. It's okay, everyone!

Understanding Emotional Pain and Support
Chicken Little So, what do you think?
Abby Okay, listen. Look, you said thought the sky was falling. Your dad didn't support you, and you have been hurting inside ever since.
Chicken Little Yeah, but...
Abby It's hurt. It's the nutshell.
Chicken Little Well, it's hurt, but...
Abby No, bup bup! Bup! Now what needs to happen now is the nut needs to be cracked open, and not one little chip at a time, but bam! Bits of emotion flying everywhere! Anger! Frustration! Denial! Fear! Deep depression, in fact! You see what I'm saying?
Runt Uh...
Abby Alright, forget the nut thing. Here's the main thing. You have got to stop messing around and deal with the problem. Here's the real solution: You, your dad, talk-talk-talking, closure.
Chicken Little Closure?
Abby Closure. Talking about something until it's resolved. Wait. Look. There's a whole section about in this month's Modern Mallard. Incredibly appropriate! Whew!
[pulls out some magazines from her backpack]
Chicken Little I told you, I have a plan.
Abby Yeah, but according to Cosmo Duck, you should stop the squawk and try the talk. And Beautiful Ducking says avoiding closure with your parents can cause early molting. See? Closure. Just repeat after me. You, your dad, talk-talk...
[as they're talking, Fish Out of Water is building a tower out of her magazines]
Chicken Little Abby, Abby, Abby! Listen, talking's a waste of time. I got to do something great so my dad doesn't think I'm such a loser.
Abby Come on, you're not a loser. You're inventive and resourceful and funny and cute...
[Falls from the volleyball]
Abby Oh, you... Um... Runt, should Chicken Little have a good talk with his dad and clean the air... ...or keep searching for Band-Aid solutions and never deal with the problem?
[Chuckles nervously; Smiling broadly; Winks then frowns]
Runt Pfft! Band-Aid solutions!
Abby Runt!
Runt Well, I'm sorry! I'm very bad at reading facial cues.
Abby Fish, help me out here. Men.

Runt Twas Beauty that killed the Beast.
[as the paper citizen]
Abby I guess only girls are good at honest communication and sensitivity.
[gets hit by the volleyball]
Chicken Little That does it! We were in a time-out, Foxy! Prepare to hurt! And I don't mean emotionally like I do! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! Whoa!
Runt We will save you! Fall back! Mad goose!
Coach Chicken Little!

Chicken Little Well, they're not microwave-safe.
Buck You saw the billboards?
Chicken Little I saw them.

Chicken Little It doesn't matter. You know why? Because I've got a plan.
Buck Yeah, about that. Well, remember how I told you it would be better for you to lay low, don't call attention to yourself?
Chicken Little Yes, but I...
Buck See, it's like a game. Yeah, a game of hide-and-seek, except the goal is never to be found, ever!
