Hoo hoo hoo hoo!

It's almost time.

Piglet: What's going on, Pooh?

Don't worry, Piglet.

You'll find out.

[applause]

[clatter]

Quiet.

Ahem.

And now we begin our play,

which we callThe Legend of Sheriff Piglet.

Me?

Shh. Not yet.

Ahem. Act 1.

Our story begins.

♪♪ [guitar, banjo]

Hoo!

♪ Gather around, set down a spell ♪

♪ Listen to the tale that we're gonna tell ♪

♪ It's all about the rugged west ♪

♪ And one who stands above the rest ♪

Actually, he doesn't stand above the rest

- in the physical sense-- - Why, ya feather brain,

quit flapping your beak and sing.

♪ Nerves of steel, he knows no fear ♪

♪ He just laughs when danger's near ♪

♪ He's the hero of the Plains ♪

♪ And Sheriff Piglet ♪

♪ That's his name ♪

Me?

I don't want to be sheriff.

Ah, that's okay. Ha.

You probably won't get through the desert anyway.

Desert?

Water. Water.

Honey. Honey.

It's the end, I tell you.

We're lost, fried in the desert sun.

Uh, excuse me, uh--

Scorched in the searing sands.

We're-- Whoo!

...parched in a waterless wasteland.

We're-- We're--

Does anyone have a towel?

- Hello! - [echo] Hello!

Is anybody here?

No!

Excuse us. Pardon. Say, there.

Say! Whoa, there, you prairie doggies.

I believe you're expecting us.

We're in the play, you know.

Better you than us. Run for your lives!

A band of horse thieves is coming to town,

- and we're clearing out! - You'd best do the same.

They're mighty ornery.

Oh, dear.

Perhaps we should tell the sheriff.

Consider yourself told!

Congratulations.

You're now the official sheriff.

Me? Sheriff?

Yep. And whoever's sheriff

has to stop them horse thieves.

Really? Where does it say that?

Right there inThe Legend of Sheriff Piglet.

- It's you. - Me?

[rumbling]

I see lots of horses but no thieves.

You don't get the picture here, fellas.

We're nothorsethieves. We're horsethieves--

horses who steal things.

Comprendo?

All: Oh.

Well, heh heh, in that case, we'll just run along.

Hate to break it to you, chum,

but we've got us a little problem.

Ah, you do?

See, that badge makes you sheriff,

and sheriffs and horse thieves don't get along.

Right?

And since I'm Nasty Jack,

the world's meanest horse thief--

[snort]--

I'm gonna have to trounce you.

Trounce?

Is that anything like b-b-bounce?

Nah. Let me show you.

Now that's bounce.

That's trounce.

Would you have to trounce him

if he weren't wearing the sheriff badge?

Probably not.

It's stuck.

I guess it's sheriff trouncing time.

[whistling]

I don't suppose you'd be satisfied

with a hug instead?

Mm, nah.

Yaah!

Hmph. Doesn't like hugs, huh?

Hmm. How nasty can you get?

Well, I say we stand and fight.

I can take this here villian a thing or three. Why, I--

♪ You got no chance to stand and fight, you better stay in bed ♪

- ♪ He'll trounce you left ♪ - ♪ He'll trounce you right ♪

♪ And tap dance on your head ♪

Uh, p-perhaps we should try to hide. Uh--

♪ You can try your best to hide, but remember what we said ♪

- ♪ He'll trounce you left ♪ - ♪ He'll trounce you right ♪

♪ And tap dance on your head ♪

Run! Run! We got to run!

♪ You may think that you can run, but Jack's a thoroughbred ♪

- ♪ He'll trounce you left ♪ - ♪ He'll trounce you right ♪

♪ And tap dance on your head ♪

Aah!

What's the matter with him?

Hoo, well,

obviously doesn't appreciate fine music.

Aah!

So, buckaroo,

might you be the proprietor of this establishment?

Estab-- Estab-- No, no, no, no.

Then you must be a friend of the sheriff.

And since I hate sheriffs--

Okey-dokey, boys, what'll it be?

Root beers and banana splits all around. Pronto!

What? No cherry?

Uh, let me answer that by saying...

help!

- Rabbit's in trouble. - Rabbit: Oh, please!

Oh, what should we do, Pooh?

- [Rabbit pleading] - You're sheriff, Piglet.

You have to give us orders.

Rabbit: Be reasonable!

Well, then I order you to think of something.

Uh, p-p-please.

Think, think. Think.

Tigger: I got it!

I'll go in the front door

and keep him occupied

while you two go in the back door

and rescue old long ears.

- What'll I do? - Rabbit: Not the whipped cream!

Uh, oh, uh, ha ha ha ha,

you stay here looking sheriffy,

and, uh, uh, when we're all set,

you give the signal to go.

I'll try.

Go? Uh...

Go? Go?

Uh, go.

Now that's how you make a banana split.

Piglet: Ready? Uh, g-go.

Ki-yi-yippee-whoopee-yay! Ha ha ha ha!

I'm gonna rope you, sonny, if you don't drop that bunny.

[growling]

Whatever you say.

Thank you.

Isn't this working out nicely?

No, not really.

We're not going to enjoy this, are we?

Pooh: Pardon. Excuse us.

Uh, pardon.

Well, that didn't work.

Okay, hang on to your horse feathers.

Now you're really going to see something.

Ha!

Ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Ha yourself.

Ready?

Pull. Pull.

Pull!

Thanks for uncorking me,

though I kind of liked it in there.

Help! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Will you stop it! Let go of me!

Hey, that's my tail.

Oh, no! Come on! Help me!

This is t-t-terrible.

Could be worse.

Yee!

See?

Jack: Hey, boys,

look who just dropped in.

- Ha ha ha ha! - Oh, d-d-dear.

Got any 3s?

Go fish.

What?

[shouting]

Hey, sheriff, it's trouncing time.

Freeze,

if you please.

Aha!

What are you?

I am the Masked Bear,

and this is my faithful steed.

Hello.

You are gonna try and stop me?

What you got in there for brains?

Stuffing, actually.

You better reach for it, fur face.

I got me a carton of ice cream,

and I'm not afraid to use it.

Whoops.

Ooh!

Go on. G-Go on, shoo.

Ha ha ha! Now that's what I call sheriffing.

Aw, I couldn't have done it without the Masked Bear

and his faithful, uh, steed?

Why, they're-- they're gone.

Ooh, who was that masked bear?

Hi-yo, Eeyore!

Away!

Oh, bother.

I'm gonna have to do something about that Masked Bear.

Pooh, what are you doing?

According to the play,

it is the job of the sheriff to clean up the town.

We're helping.

[coughing]

Yucch. Pooey.

I'll bet that Masked Bear and his faithful steed

ain't sweeping no sidewalks.

I'm not so sure.

You know, once you get used to it,

this sheriff job isn't all that hard.

Sure, as long as the Masked Bear is around.

Ah. The Masked Bear.

Telegram for the Masked Bear.

Telegram for the Masked Bear.

The Masked Bear, uh,

isn't present presently.

But we'll be happy to tell him when we see him.

Okey-dokey.

It says "Help!"

Hmm. Some sheriff.

Oh, I'd better get him out.

I believe this is a job

for the Masked Bear

and his faithful steed.

If you say so.

Which, um, reminds me,

Eeyore and I have to go, uh...

find some honey.

Odd. How can you think of food at a time like this?

I practice.

Aha!

Aha yourself!

[laughing]

[grunting]

Come on, Piglet, this is embarrassing.

Yaah!

See? Hoo hoo hoo hoo!

That wasn't so hard, was it?

Rabbit: Ow!

What was that?

It's for you.

Hmm. There's a note.

Oh, well, it says, uh--

It's easy. It says-- Anybody could-- Ha ha!

[muttering]

Christopher Robin!

Yes?

Uh, w-would you read this to us?

It's to Piglet,

- and it says "Dear Sheriff"-- - Owl, Gopher: Sheriff.

♪ Be on the street at sundown ♪

♪ We're gonna have a showdown ♪

Gopher: The Masked Bear--

And his faithful steed.

♪ Are all tied up and can't be freed ♪

♪ So come prepared to meet your fate ♪

Sincerely, Jack.

And don't be late!

I just remembered.

I have a very important appointment--

ha ha-- under my bed.

But, Pigalet, you have to go face Nasty Jack.

Why?

Because the townfolks are depending on you.

Waah!

Oh, come on, old Piglet,

old partner, old buddy.

This showdown won't be so bad.

Wouldn't be so bad?

His name is Nasty Jack,

not Friendly Jack or Perfectly Wonderful Jack.

No. It's Nasty Jack.

I'm not going out there alone.

But, Piglet, what about the play?

Uh, is there anything in the play

about the Masked Bear saving me in the end?

[laughing] As a matter of fact, there is.

Well, if you're sure, okay.

Ha ha ha ha! What did I tell you?

You look like a million buckaroos.

Now you can really stand up for yourself.

Not necessarily.

Well?

Mr. Nasty Jack, sir,

as Sheriff of Rickety Gulch,

I place you under arrest, if you don't mind.

[crash]

[laughter, hooting]

Seems there ain't nobody here

thinks you can do that, Sheriff.

I can, too. Besides, the Masked Bear will s--

[chuckle]-- will save me in the end.

Hooray!

[snarl]

Yipe!

Waiting for the Masked Bear, huh?

[laughing]

Oh, ha ha ha! A music lover.

Any last requests?

Just one. Do you know how to untie us?

No, but if you hum a few bars,

we'll try to fake it.

Nothing's going to stop us now.

We're coming, Piglet!

I really hope the Masked Bear gets here soon.

Ohh, bother!

Better make your move, Sheriff.

Whoa!

Hmm. Not a bad move.

I really, really hope

the Masked Bear gets here soon.

Gopher: Oops.

Looks like they missed.

What?

That's not in the play.

Here we go again.

Them's the breaks, binky.

Looks like you're all out of help.

No Masked Bear, no friends, no nothing.

It's just you and me.

Uh, maybe, Mr. Nasty Jack,

But even though I didn't want to be,

I'm sheriff,

and a sheriff has to protect people

and be polite

and-- and clean up the town

and, uh, and stop bad guys

from doing no-gooding around here

and, uh, so there.

[cheering]

You done?

Yes.

Then it's definitely trouncing time.

Ooh!

[all gasp]

Now look what you done!

The badge fell off!

You know what this means?

I'm not sheriff anymore?

You're not sheriff anymore!

So I can go now?

Aw, sure, fine.

That's just peachy, isn't it?

Now I can't even trounce you!

What in the blue blazes am I supposed to do?

Maybe, uh, you c-could be the sheriff?

Honest? You mean it?

I always wanted to be sheriff.

All rightie, pilgrim,

I'm the sheriff now,

and I'm really gonna clean up this town.

Comprendo?

[gulp]

And to show our appreciation,

we hereby present you

with a Rickety Gulch genuine hero award. Yep.

All: Hooray!

Hi-yo, Eeyore!

[giggling] Away!

Oh, bother.

What's the rush? The play's over.

Besides, we're probably headed

in the wrong direction.

♪ Of Sheriff Piglet, brave and bold ♪

It's all about a gopher and an owl.
