[HEIDI]
Oh, Brother!
Oh, Boy
Oh Captain!
Oh, Look!
Oh, Please!
Oh, Coward!
Oh, My Dear!

Oh, Kay
[SUSAN, spoken]
Stay behind the image and write down what you see on your monkey’s ski trip

Different time seemed both
Wild and Wonderful
[SUSAN]

I feel a Change in the Heir
I want Something More
It’s so nice to be Civilized
And I’ll miss the Stars In Your Eyes
And your Smile
But I gotta hit the Trail
[HEIDI AND JEFF]
Come Summer
[SUSAN AND HUNTER]
He went back to the speedboat
And watched
[HEIDI AND JEFF]
Censored Scenes From King Kong
[SUSAN AND HUNTER]
He found
