Monkey in the Middle Transcript

(a picture of a green styled hut appears with a coconut and some flowers in it, it also has the title card on it, two monkeys doing the limbo dance)

Aah: Ooh, Aah and You. Well hello there, I'm Aah

Ooh: And I am Ooh

Aah: And were so glad that you're here because we'd like to play a game.

Ooh: Yes.

Aah: Would you like to play a game? You would?

Ooh: Good.

Aah: Okay. This game is called "Monkey in the Middle"

Ooh: Yes. "Monkey in the Middle" is one of my favorite games.

Aah: Mhm

Ooh: I'm very good at it.

Aah: Yes it is. Okay so... and oh. This is our friend Sheila. Sheila is a little butterfly and she's going to help us. Okay. So um... Sheila if you like to fly over here that's very good, and now that means I'm in the middle. See I am the middle between Sheila and Ooh.

Ooh: Yes, But um... I don't think you should be in the middle.

Aah: Why not?

Ooh: Well, you were in the middle last week.

Aah: I know. I like being in the middle.

Ooh: But Sheila never gets to be in the middle.

Aah: I know that. But I like being in the middle too.

Ooh: But it might be nice to just let somewhere else try once.

Aah: Yeah, I know but... Okay Sheila.

Ooh: Sheila?

Aah: Okay she's gone, now we can't play "Monkey in the Middle"

Ooh: Um... I think you're right. Well... Well unless um... Well... Would you like to be in the middle? Would you like to be the "Monkey in the Middle"?

Aah: That's a great idea. Okay so how do we do that?

Ooh: Okay. You go round to the other side and I'll stand here.

Aah: Okay, so that makes you in the middle right? Okay. So I'm going to go behind here, right behind you now... Oh now you're in the middle.

Ooh: What do you think? Now you're in the middle. You're in between me and Aah.

Aah: ...and you're the "Monkey in the Middle".

Both: [laughter]

Aah: That was fun. You're so good at that. Okay, now I want to be in the middle again.

Ooh: Oh. Sheila's back. Oh. I guess we're both in the middle.

Aah: Oh. I like that.
