The little buses are gathered over there. What are they up to?

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.

TAYO/ROGI
Huh? He-he-he.

Maybe... it’s the legendary ghost car. (Pants in fear)
NA
Scared by Rogi’s story, Lani falls asleep with the lights on.

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!
Description: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)
