The Hero of Color City Page #2

- Oh, Ben used me to draw...

- Hm?

- A sheet of paper.

- A sheet of paper.

What? No. Oh, yes! Yes. Uh-huh.

- Hm.

- I mean, a cloud.

- A cloud?

- No. Yes!

- Fruit!

- White fruit?

Hmm? No. Yes.

An apple. Banana?

- An orange!

- Say what?

How many times

must we go through this?

I know you have not been used.

Please. I've never even

been in the spa.

Someday you will.

But not today.

Someday soon, I hope.

Coloring is overrated.

Are you kidding?

Coloring is what we do.

I just know I'll be useful someday.

I just have to be.

Oh, hi!

What does this mean,

this, uh...

sock monkey?

Qu'est Ce Que c'est?

It's kind of like a real monkey,

but made out of socks.

Socks!

I know, right? I just wish...

If only I was cool, like Blue.

Or as strong as Red.

Or even as organized as Green.

They would have known

how to deal with King Scrawl.

King Who? What, what, what?

Nothing.

Oh, Cherie, we are all special

in our own way.

We each get to be one color.

Except for Tutti Frutti!

Whoo hoo hoo!

I can sing a rainbow!

Oui. Except for her.

Being yellow is a good thing,

n'est Ce pas?

I guess.

Yellow. Yellow?

Tick-tock, beach party.

Oh, I almost forgot.

I'm meeting my pals

at the marina.

Au revoir!

- Hey there, Yellow.

- Hello, dearie.

Hey, Yellow.

Get off my lawn!

Madame is right.

Maybe I am special.

I can be anything I want.

With colors so bright

Oh, it reminds me of Spring

And ringing my bell

just makes me want to sing

The air is so rosy,

so sparkly and light

It's golden all day

and deep purple at night

Riding along

makes me feel so happy

The city is shining,

its colors are snappy

The sky is so blue

and the buildings all gleam

If I wasn't awake,

I'd be in a dream

Ring a little bell

and off I go singing

The colors keep time

to my bell's ding-a-linging

A bright little tune

I will sing from the start

The song that I sing

also rings in my heart

When you are singing,

your cares disappear

And when you are ringing,

it makes colors clear

A red star is twinkling,

there's green in the trees

Blue is a whisper

and white is the breeze

Some hues are loud,

and others are mellow

I love them all,

from magenta to yellow

Colors are with us

in moon glow or sun

And singing about them

is just so much fun

Ring a little bell

and off I go singing

The colors keep time

to my bell's ding-linging

A bright little tune

I will sing from the start

The song that I sing

also rings in my heart

Ring a little bell

Ring a little bell

Ring a little bell

The song that I sing

also rings in my heart

- Mm-mmm.

- Oh, no! It's him.

One blueberry frapp.

Thank you, darling.

Just what the doctor ordered.

- Mmm...

- Hello, all.

I hope I'm not late.

Yellow should be here

any second.

You know, Green, I'm starting

to get worried about Yellow.

- Oh?

- She's seeing monsters everywhere.

Yeah. I hope she hasn't

snapped her cap.

Girl's going all delusional on us.

Yikes!

Yikes?

Yikes, man!

I'm going this way now!

That's a big monster.

He's crayon-napping Yellow!

Somebody do something!

Doesn't screaming

and running in circles count?

I guess.

Hold it!

All right, you varmint.

As sheriff of this here city

and on behalf

of crayons everywhere,

I order you to cease and desist

any and all

monster-related activities.

Uh, pronto.

- After him!

- Charge!

Oh, my goodness.

Hold on, hold on!

That doesn't look safe at all.

Oh, Yellow!

Keep him in your sights!

It's time for Plan A.

This way, this way!

Put me down! Put me down!

Put me down!

Let me go!

Don't let me go! Don't let me go!

Don't let me go!

Afraid of heights?

Heights, crowds, germs,

- the dark...

- Okay, okay...

vacuum cleaners, cats,

bugs, sock monkeys...

I get the picture!

- And trees.

- Trees?

You're afraid of trees?

They've got pointy branches!

Well, their bark is worse

than their bite, you know.

Oh, that was awesome!

- Hmm...

- I'm so funny.

Yee-haw! Plan A for aero-plane!

Help!

Hang on!

I'm comin' for ya', Yella!

Yee-haw!

Whoa, Nellie!

I got some sort of turkey on my tail!

Hoo-doggies, I been hit!

I got her! I got her!

I got her!

Gotcha!

Incoming!

Brown, are you all right?

Uh, I think my saddle's sore.

We must rush you

to the hospital!

Tout suite!

Well, what do we do now,

your Royal Clumsiness?

Hmm...

I gotcha.

Why deal with this pain in the tail

when we can go

straight to the source?

Blue, you and Brown really

saved my wrapper.

Please. You're making me blush.

And when I blush,

I turn purple.

What's so wrong with that?

- Did you see that?

- The monster was all...

And Yellow was all...

And we were all...

And it was horrible!

Well, he's gone.

Our troubles are over.

I sure wish that were true.

Lookee yonder.

What does it mean?

I'm afraid our troubles

are only just beginning.

All right, all right,

simmer down now, young 'uns.

We've put our best minds to work

on the sitch-e-ation.

Professor Heliotrope

from ColorTech University

is here to make his report.

Professor?

Oh, now it's my turn to speak

with the talking

and the lips with the flapping

and explaining.

Hello, nice cowboy man.

I'm not quite ready though

with the screen for the light

and the showing of the thing

which is happening with...

Oh! Where did everyone go?

It's like a magic trick.

Oh, my glasses. There they are.

Okay, well... Well, then.

Lights, please

and thank you, very nice.

All right, the slide

numbering one, please.

Then slide the first,

the premiere, yes.

Thank you.

Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Well, this represents

the rainbow

which comes down

with all the color

and the color falling

into the lake,

giving us the tinting

and all the prettiness

in the city,

like I said, for living.

Living and happy, smiling.

Slide number two.

The two is next to one

and number four through...

Thank you.

And here we see the colorfall,

through which the metamorphosis

of the rain...

Ooh, double rainbow!

To the lake, to the lake,

gives us the color,

setting us apart

from other art materials

like ink blots,

and lumps of clay

and pencil lead,

and what do they do

with the pastels?

The smudging.

All right and the next slide.

Oh, you're good at that.

Thank you.

Oh, and here I am

at the beach last year

having a wonderful vacation,

it was so nice.

They brought me the drink

with the big thing in it

that stabbed me in the eye.

I don't even know

how that got in there.

Okay, let's move along.

Press the button.

See, again, you're very good

at this in the back.

Look, now, there are...

Drumroll and moment

of seriousness.

Here, you can clearly

see my postulation:

Limpidus non carborundum est.

Uh, run that

by us again, Professor.

In English?

What, you didn't get it

the first time?

All right, I'll do it again.

Assuming the insertion

of the Monster

between the Rainbow

and the Colorfall, he...

It's very simple, actually.

No color, removed.

We become transparent.

Transparent?

You mean I'll lose my color?
