Goat: That sounds wonderful!

[Fox puppet shifts slightly, looking up.]
Fox: Now… how will we get out?
Goat (confused): Oh… I didn’t think about that…

Fox (quickly): I have an idea! You stand up on your back legs, and I’ll climb on you!
Goat: Okay!
[Goat puppet straightens upward.]
[Fox puppet climbs up Goat and moves to the top edge of the screen.]
Fox: Almost there…
[Fox puppet climbs out of the well.]
Fox (from above): Goodbye, Goat!
Goat (looking up): Wait! What about me?

Fox: If you had been as clever as you are eager, you would not have jumped in without thinking!
