TAYO (VO) 
The Darkness is Scary! 
NA 
The little buses are gathered over there. What are they up to? 
ROGI 
Have you heard the story about the legendary ghost car? 
TAYO 
The legendary ghost car? 
LANI 
What’s that? 
ROGI 
It’s a terrifying car that always comes out after dark 
TAYO 
A terrifying car? 
LANI 
(Swallows) Huh! 
ROGI 
Uh-huh. This car is supposed to be gigantic, 
fast and make a horrendous honking sound. 
LANI 
Geez! It’s not scary at all. 
ROGI (Off) 
Lani?
LANI 
Huh? 
ROGI 
Boo! 
LANI 
Ahhhh!  (Pants in fear) 
ROGI 
He-he-he-he...  I thought you weren’t scared? 
LANI 
It’s because you screamed ‘boo!’ 
TAYO 
(Overlaps)  He-he-he. Tell us more, Rogi. 
ROGI 
It goes after cars that are scaredy-cats .. 
And once you run into it, you’ll disappear forever! 
LANI 
Huh! Sounds like a bunch of hogwash! 
ROGI (Off) 
Huh?  Hey, Lani!  I’m telling the truth. 
You’ll have to be careful since you’re easily scared. 
TAYO 
Boo!  I’m the legendary ghost car! 
LANI (Overlaps) 
Huh?  Ugh! 
Will you please stop teasing me? I’m going to bed. Huh! 
ROGI 
Let me know if you ever run into the legendary ghost car, Lani.
TAYO/ROGI 
Booooo!  
ROGI/TAYO 
Ha-ha-ha-ha.

LANI (Overlaps) 
Huh?  I’m sure I heard something. (Pants in fear) 
 
TAYO/ROGI 
Huh?  He-he-he.
LANI 
Maybe... it’s the legendary ghost car. (Pants in fear) 
NA 
Scared by Rogi’s story, Lani falls asleep with the lights on.

Whew...  It was just a dream.  (Sighs)
[01:02:49;00] #5. EXT Visual Training Center - Morning 
LANI 
(Yawning)  Ho-hum.  Good morning, guys. 
 TAYO 
Good morning! 
ROGI 
How did you sleep? 
LANI 
I couldn’t sleep because of the strange noise. Did you guys hear it, too? 
 
ROGI 
(Playing innocent)  What noise?  I didn’t hear anything. 
TAYO 
Are you sure you heard something? 
TAYO/ROGI 
(Looking at each other)  He-he-he. 
LANI 
That’s weird. I’m sure I hear something. You really didn’t hear it? 
 TAYO/ROGI 
Nope.  (Looking at each other)  He-he. 
LANI 
Huh?  Then what was it?  Could it be... 
ROGI 
You said you weren’t afraid.  But you were! 
Lani is a scaredy-cat, Lani is a scaredy-cat! (Make fun to a tune) 
TAYO 
The legendary ghost car only comes after scaredy-cats.
ROGI (Off) 
He-he-he. 
LANI 
Stop it, you guys! 
TAYO/ROGI 
(Stifles giggle, then giggles freely) Ha-ha-ha-ha. 
CITO 
You’re all here. 
ROGI 
Hi, Cito. 
TAYO/LANI (Overlaps) 
Hello! 
TAYO 
What are we learning today? 
CITO 
We’re going to learn some tips for when we’re in a tunnel. 
TAYO 
Sounds like fun! 
ROGI 
I can’t wait to start! 
LANI 
Tunnel?  It’s going to be dark inside... Phew.. 
CITO 
What’s the matter, Lani? 
LANI 
Um... Nothing.
CITO 
Okay, everyone take a look at the screen. 
TAYO/ROGI/LANI (Off) 
Okay! 
CITO (Off) 
You need to turn your headlights on in a tunnel. 
ROGI 
That’s because it’s dark inside. 
CITO 
Right you are. You should also keep some distance from the car ahead of you. 
TAYO 
That’s because you could bump into him if he stops. He-he. 
CITO 
Absolutely, Tayo! 
TAYO 
He-he. 
CITO (Off) 
Lastly, it’s important that you drive at a steady speed. 
CITO 
You got it? Then go and have a safe day. 
TAYO 
Okay!  (In unison) 
LANI (Overlaps) 
Ok..ay… 
TAYO (VO) 
Tayo, the Little Bus!
[01:04:45;00] #6. EXT Roads - Afternoon 
LANI 
Phew... (Sighing)  I sure wish I hadn’t heard that story. 
Well... I’ll try not think about it! Let’s go! 
[01:04:56;00] #7. EXT Road That Leads to Tunnel 
LANI 
Huh?  Th-this is... 
The road that leads to the tunnel! It’s going to be dark inside. 
ROGI (E) 
It’s a terrifying car that always comes out after dark! 
LANI 
It can’t be true. I pass this place all the time. 
[01:05:14;00] #8. In the Tunnel 
LANI 
(Whimpering sounds) There’s nobody here. 
Still, there’s no such thing as ghosts! I’m not afraid of the dark. 
The tunnel seems longer than usual. 
 (SE: The sound of Big’s engine gets louder) 
Huh!  What was that? 
ROGI (VO, E) 
This car is supposed to be fast 
and make a horrendous honking sound. 
LANI 
It can’t be... It must really be the legendary ghost car!  Ahhh! 
BIG (E) 
Hey. 
LANI (Overlap) 
(Screaming)
BIG(E) 
Wait up! 
LANI 
Rogi was telling the truth!  (Pants in fear)  Ahh!  I’m so scared!  Ah! 
BIG (Off) 
Excuse me. 
LANI 
Huh? 
BIG 
Um... I’m not a monster. 
LANI 
Huh! 
BIG 
Huh?  (Sounding gloomy) Am I that scary? 
LANI 
Huh?  So you’re not the legendary ghost car? 
BIG 
I’m Big, the container truck. 
LANI 
Why are you so gigantic? 
BIG 
Ha-ha-ha.  I‘m huge because I carry goods that are sent overseas. 
LANI 
I see.  Why does your horn sound weird? 
BIG 
Oh, this?  (SE: Big honks his horn) 
It sounds strange because it’s broken.
LANI 
Whew... I thought you were the terrifying ghost car. 
BIG 
You don’t have to be terrified of me. 
LANI 
To make things worse, it’s pitch black in here. 
BIG 
Then would you like me to drive with you until the tunnel ends? 
LANI 
Really? 
BIG 
Sure! 
 
 LANI 
Thanks a million. 
BIG 
No problem. 
 
[01:07:09;00] #9. EXT Road 
LANI 
He-he.  Thanks to you, that wasn’t scary at all. 
BIG 
I’m glad. I have to go to the airport to deliver these goods.  
I’ll see you around. 
LANI 
Okay! 
BIG (Off) 
Bye!
