PICKLE: [spoken]

...9:20...9:20!? Man, OK pull yourself together! I'm coming, Master!

[sung]

Forty minutes 'til the season starts

And I'm half an hour away.

I've got the shakes, my body aches, and my hair's in disarray...

But I stayed up all night reading the rules,

And that’s what I shall obey!

I'm secure and I'm sure I'll endure on this August Day!

Today's the day!

I'll need to prove I'm the best,

And the dungeon’s watching my inaugural test...

But am I truly prepared?

If pressed, I'd confess I'm a bit stressed and scared.

Can I aid Treguard’s big fight… with my might?

I'll try and if I don't cry, then I'll do alright!

I can hope and dream and pray

That we’ll win on this August Day!

Fifteen minutes left to go,

I'm runnin' short on time.

My head is spinnin', intent on winnin',

I'm sweatin' like a swine.

I have to help the people here --

I know where I belong!

The unity of our community will stay strong!

BROTHER MACE: See that elf running like he's in some race?

GUNDRADA: Blondie-haired jerk! He almost ran through me!

BROTHER MACE: He’ll get on the nerve of Lord Fear’s case.

GUNDRADA: Should be chopped up by me!

MOTLEY:

Today's the day, I’ll tell a joke without fail!

MELLISANDRE:

You won't need to borrow joke books, from lowlifes in jail.

MOTLEY:

[spoken]

That's right!

FIDGIT: [sung]

Ten minutes left 'til class starts... bleh!

SIDRISS: So let's battle now for these Sorcerer’s cards!

'[simultaneous]

PICKLE: Stand tall and face all your fears,

One by one.

Don't get too rattled,

Your battle has just begun.

All my knowledge up on display,

I'll fight on this bright August Day.'

'[at the same time]

SIDRISS/FIDGIT:

[spoken]

Paper, rock, scissors, GO!

SIDRISS: Scissors beats paper.

FIDGIT: No!

Two outta three, let's try again

And this time there's no way I won't win!

FATILLA THE HUN: Lookie here, a little foe.

I’ll blip and blop you for your dough!

Another day, another buck,

Another loser outta luck.

MOTLEY:

Melly...

MELLISANDRE: Yes?

MOTLEY:

I gotta say there's somethin' on my mind...

MELLISANDRE:

Well, what?

MOTLEY:

Um, I mean, you look nice today...

MELLISANDRE: Thanks, how kind!

Well on that note, I've got something

That I'D like to confess...

MOTLEY:

Yeah?

MELLISANDRE:

This new dress was a present from my boyfriend --

He's the best!

MOTLEY:

Aww...'

PICKLE/CROWD: [sung]

So will this young elf take flight...?

PICKLE: ...off the ground?

I'll soar with glory,

My story will be renowned!

PICKLE/CROWD:

Now let's get the season underway!

PICKLE: My awesome premiere...

SIDRISS: Last time!

FIDGIT: Yup.

PICKLE: I will persevere...

SIDRISS/FIDGIT: One, two, three, GO!

PICKLE: I'm here on this clear...

PICKLE/CROWD: August Day!

TREGUARD: [spoken]

Pickle, you're late again!
