Sue: When are you going to tell us? Mary: Aren't we ready yet?
Doctor: Almost. We're waiting for Danny and his mother, they should be here any minute.
Danny: Are we on time?
Doctor: Why sure, Danny. We're just about to begin. You'd like to sit here?
Doctor: Just find a seat anywhere Ms. Baker. Come along, Mary, Sue. That's it.
Mary: What's the story about, Doctor?
Bobby: Yeah, what's it all about?
Doctor: It's about, well, all good stories start from the beginning.
Once upon a time, there was a happy little city.
And around this little city was a gleaming wall of strong white pillars.
Just like your teeth.
The beautiful white walls sparkled and glistened in the sunlight.
Now this wall was guarded by a little watchman named Winky.
Winky was not as wide awake as a good little watchman should be.
No, Winky was a little careless.
Winky: I guard my wall both night and day.
[Winky almost falls off the wall ledge]
Winky: All is well, all is well! Trouble never comes my way.
Winky: All is well, all is well!
Winky: Nothing's wrong that I can see.
[As Winky yawns, a black monster is evading his view]
Winky: Trouble never troubles me.
[More monsters begin to appear from the white pillars as Winky continues to sing]
Winky: All is well, all is well! All is well you see!
[Winky falls asleep]
[Black monsters stand behind Winky and start laughing at him]
Yes, Winky was careless. Winky had not noticed the bad’uns.
Now where there are some bad’uns, there are always more bad’uns.
[Bad’uns signals for bad’uns to appear from bushes below the wall]
And more.
[Bad’uns are preparing to launch from a catapult outside the city]
And more!
[Large amount of bad’uns appear from the woods outside the city]
Indeed, the woods were full of bad’uns.
And the wall was full of bad’uns.
[Bad’uns are trying to break into the wall]
Yes, full of bad’uns.
Especially right under careless, little Winky.
[Bad’uns are mining inside the wall directly under Winky and begin singing]
Bad’uns: We're such bad’uns. Never, never good!
Bad'uns: Don't like nothing. Don't see why we should.
Bad’uns: We are trouble, and pain you know, 'cause we're bad, bad bad’uns - everywhere we go!
[Bad’uns continue to sing and destroy the wall]
Bad’un: We cause trouble, and pain you know!
Bad'un: 'Cause we're bad bad bad’uns - everywhere we go.
[Bad’uns set off a dynamite explosion in the wall]
[Winky wakes up from force of explosion and the wall beneath him collapses under him]
[He falls into a dark part of the wall where he cannot see anything and gets scared by the Bad'uns]
Bad’uns: Boo!
Winky: Whoa!
[Winky jumps up from the hole and runs across the wall seeing many holes]
[Winky runs to the gate of the wall where he calls out forces to fight]
Bad’uns: Help! Good'uns!
Bad’uns: Good'uns!
[Good'uns begin to force bad'uns out and away from the wall]
[Bad'uns flee]
The battle was soon over and of course the Good'uns won!
But, Winky's beautiful wall was ruined.
Poor little Winky was awfully unhappy.
Good'uns: Now, Winky. Don't be sad at all! Your wall is saved!
Good'uns: There's work to do - we'll start right now to mend your wall!
Good'un: We'll make it almost good as new.
Winky: You Good'uns fix my wall for me, and I'll guard it!
Winky: You'll see how - I'll never, never sleep! You'll see!
Winky: Oh, look! They're working on it now!
Good'uns: We fight and we work to keep the wall, keep the wall, keep the wall!
Good'uns: We fight and we work to keep the wall.
Good'uns: Try to keep it strong!
[Good'uns continue singing, rebuilding the wall, and refilling cavities in the wall.]
Good'un: Winky, we saved your wall here. We fixed it up, all clean and bright
Good'un: Your wall is almost good as new!
Good'un: And you must guard it day and night!
Good'un: We, Good'uns, are your friends you know.
Good'un: We're always ready when you call.
Good'un: Now here's a whistle you must blow when you find bad'uns in your wall.
Winky: Oh, boy! A whistle, gold and bright!
[Winky blows whistle]
Winky: Hah! When I see bad'uns in my wall, I'll blow it loud with all my might!
[Winky blows whistle loudly]
Winky: I know you'll help me when I call!
Winky: I guard my wall both night and day.
Winky: All is well! All is well! Trouble never comes my way.
Winky: All is well, all is well. Nothing's wrong that I can see.
Winky: Trouble never troubles me!
Winky: All is well!
[Children begin to clap]
Sue: Gee, that was a good story.
Mary: I sure do like Winky.
Danny: Winky sure learned his lesson, didn't he, Doctor?
Bobby: Or didn't he?
Doctor: Yes, and after that Winky was wide awake and careful.
Sue: Did the bad'uns ever come back?
Doctor: Sometimes they did, but they didn't get very far 'cause Winky kept a sharp lookout.
Danny: Where is that wall, Dr. Allen?
Doctor: That wall is your teeth, Bobby, and the watchman is you, you, and you.
Mary: Will the bad'uns hurt my teeth?
Doctor: They may, if you're careless as Winky was.
Doctor: Remember, the bad'uns are always waiting to attack your wall.
[Doctor walks towards the door]
Danny: But the good'uns, who are they?
[Doctor points at door that reads 'Dentist']
Doctor: Your dentist.
Danny: You mean the dentist is the one who keeps our walls safe?
Doctor: Yes, Danny, that's exactly right.
[Parents begin to walk out the door]
Father: Nice story, Doctor.
Doctor: Thank you.
Mother: Yes, I enjoyed it as much as the children.
Doctor: Well, in other words, the safest way to maintain good teeth is by early and regular visits to your dentist.
Father: I wish I had heard that story years ago.
Woman: Thank you, Doctor.
Doctor: You're welcome. Thank you for coming.
Doctor: Now, I hope you all remembered to be like Winky The Watchman.
Doctor: Always on guard!
Mary: You know I'm going to come and see you very often.
Doctor: That's fine, Mary, you do that.
Mary: Bye, Doctor.
Doctor: Goodbye, honey.
Sue: I'm gonna see you often too.
Doctor: Fine, Susan, fine.
Danny: Thanks for the swell story, Doc.
Doctor: You're welcome. Goodbye, Debbie.
Debbie: Goodbye.
Chorus: All is well, all is well...
