1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:12,820 The day the crayons quit 2 00:00:12,820 --> 00:00:21,820 One day, in class, Duncan went to take his crayons and found a stack of letters with his name on them. 3 00:00:21,820 --> 00:00:36,780 It's me, Red Crayon. We need to talk. You make me work harder than any of your other crayons. 4 00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:48,780 All year long, I wear myself out coloring fire engines, strawberries, apples and everything else that's red. 5 00:00:48,780 --> 00:00:59,780 I even work on holiday. I have to color all the Santas for Christmas and all the hearts on St. Valentine's Day. 6 00:00:59,780 --> 00:01:09,780 I need a rest. You're overworked, friend. Red crayon. 7 00:01:09,780 --> 00:01:21,010 Dear Duncan, alright, listen. I love that I'm your favorite crayon for grapes, dragons and wizard hats. 8 00:01:21,010 --> 00:01:27,010 But it makes me crazy that so much of my gorgeous color goes outside the lines. 9 00:01:27,010 --> 00:01:36,689 If you don't stop coloring inside the lines soon, I'm going to compelucid your very neat friend, Purple Cradle. 10 00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:46,640 Dear Duncan, I am tired of being called light brown. 11 00:01:47,219 --> 00:01:50,939 I am neater, I am beige, and I am proud. 12 00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:55,719 I am also tired of being second place to Mr. Brown. 13 00:01:55,719 --> 00:02:10,060 It's not fair that he colors all the bears, ponies, and puppies while the only things that I color are turkey dinners, if I'm lucky, and wheat. 14 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:17,080 And let's be honest, when was the last time you see a kid excited about coloring wheat? 15 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,780 Your beige friend, beige crayon. 16 00:02:20,780 --> 00:02:34,439 Duncan, great Ryan here. You are killing me. I know you love elephants. And I know that elephants are great. 17 00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:46,439 But that's a lot of space to color in all by myself. And don't even get me started on your rhinos, hippos and half-backed whales. 18 00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:54,439 You know how tired I am after handling one of those things? Such big animals! 19 00:02:54,439 --> 00:03:00,439 Baby penguins are great, you know. So are very tiny rocks, pebbles. 20 00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:16,550 How about one of those once in a while to give me a break? Your very tired friend, Cray-Crayon. 21 00:03:16,550 --> 00:03:32,389 You're Duncan. You color with me. But why? Most of the time I am the same color as the paint you are using on me. White. 22 00:03:32,389 --> 00:03:56,289 But if I didn't have a black outline, you wouldn't even know I was there. I'm not even in the rainbow. I only use to color snow or to fill in empty space between other things. 23 00:03:56,289 --> 00:04:07,289 and it leaves me, well, empty. We need to talk. The white crayon. 24 00:04:07,289 --> 00:04:20,779 Hi Duncan, I hate being used to draw the outline of things, things that are coloured in by other colours, 25 00:04:20,779 --> 00:04:30,899 of which think they are brighter than me. It is not fair when you use me to draw a 26 00:04:30,899 --> 00:04:36,920 nice beach ball and then fill in the colors of the ball with all the other 27 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:48,379 crayons. What about a black beach ball sometime? Is that too much to ask? 28 00:04:48,379 --> 00:05:01,139 your friend black crayon. Dear Duncan, as a green crayon I am writing for two 29 00:05:01,139 --> 00:05:09,540 reasons. One is to say I like my warlocks of crocodiles, trees, dinosaurs and frogs. 30 00:05:09,540 --> 00:05:16,620 I have no problem. I wish to congratulate you on very successful coloring things 31 00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:28,019 green. The second reason is I write because of my friends the yellow crayon 32 00:05:28,019 --> 00:05:36,420 and the orange crayon who are no longer speak each other. Both crayons feel they 33 00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:45,240 should be the color of the sun. Please sell this shoe because they are driving 34 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:52,240 the rest of us crazy. Your happy friend, the green crayon. 35 00:05:52,240 --> 00:06:07,310 Welcome, yellow crayon here. I need you to tell orange crayon that I am the color of the sun. 36 00:06:07,310 --> 00:06:15,310 I go talking but we are no longer speaking. And I can prove I'm the color of the sun too. 37 00:06:15,310 --> 00:06:41,290 Last Tuesday, you used me to colour in the sun in your happy farm colouring book. Look! If you don't remember, it's on page 7. You can't miss me. I'm signing down brilliantly on a field of yellow corn. Your palm and the true colour of the sun, yellow crayon. 38 00:06:41,290 --> 00:06:50,800 Dear Duncan, I say Yellow Crayon already talked to you. 39 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,800 The big whiner. 40 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:59,800 Anyway, could you please tell Mr. Feltal that he's not the color of the sun? 41 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,800 I would, but we are no longer speaking. 42 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,800 We both know I'm clearly the color of the sun, 43 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,800 because on Thursday you used me to color the sun on both 44 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:20,959 the Monkey Island and the Meet the Zookeeper. Pages in your Day at the Zoo coloring book. 45 00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:30,839 Orange, you're glad I'm here. Your pal, I'm the real color of the sun. Orange-gray. 46 00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:44,740 Dear Duncan, it has been great being your favorite color this past year and the year before. And the 47 00:07:44,740 --> 00:07:52,339 year before that. I have really enjoyed all those oceans, rivers, raindrops, rain 48 00:07:52,339 --> 00:07:59,839 clouds and clear skies. But the bad news is that I am so short and stubby. I can't 49 00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:05,620 even see over the railing in the crayon box anymore. I need a break. 50 00:08:05,620 --> 00:08:10,620 Your very stubby friend, Blue Crayon. 51 00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:19,579 Duncan, OK, listen here, kid. 52 00:08:19,579 --> 00:08:23,579 You have not used me once in the past year. 53 00:08:23,579 --> 00:08:28,579 It's because you think I am a girl's color, isn't it? 54 00:08:28,579 --> 00:08:33,580 Speaking of which, please tell your little sister I said thank you 55 00:08:33,580 --> 00:08:37,580 for using me to color in her pretty princess coloring book. 56 00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:42,580 I think she did a fabulous job staying inside the lines. 57 00:08:42,580 --> 00:08:55,580 Now back to us. Could you please use me sometime to color the occasional pink dinosaur or monster or cowboy? 58 00:08:55,580 --> 00:09:10,360 Goodness knows they could use a splash of color. Your unused friend, Pink Rayyan. 59 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:17,399 Hey, Duncan, it's me, Peach Crayon. Why did you peel off my paper wrap? 60 00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:25,080 I'm naked. I'm too embarrassed to leave the crayon box. 61 00:09:26,419 --> 00:09:31,860 I don't even have any underwear. How would you like to go to school naked? 62 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:39,659 I need some clothes. Your naked friend, Peach Crayon. 63 00:09:39,659 --> 00:09:47,399 well poor Duncan just wanted to color and of course he wanted his crayons to 64 00:09:47,399 --> 00:09:54,960 be happy and that gave him an idea when Duncan showed his teacher his new 65 00:09:54,960 --> 00:10:02,480 picture she gave him a good work sticker for coloring and a gold star for 66 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,019 creativity
