[The episode begins outside, as we hear Orson read a book off-screen]

Orson: And so the pirate captain stalked ever closer. [Pans over to him and Wade] "Arrgh! You'll be walking the plank for that, matey!", he said.

[The camera pans over to a tree, where we see Roy peek out from behind]

Orson: The evil buccaneers gathered the deck and drew their swords.

Roy: This gives me a lowdown, sneaky, rotten idea. I should be ashamed of myself for even thinking of it. [Hides back behind the tree, then peeks right back out] Of course I'm gonna do it.

[He hides back behind the tree as the screen fades to his chicken coop]

Roy: Let's see, [Starts tossing away costumes] cowboy suit, Loch Ness Monster, Merv Griffin costume, Queen of Sheba, cheeseburger, [Gets out a chicken costume] Chicken suit? What would I ever need that for? [Resumes digging through costumes] Let's see...

[Cut back to Orson and Wade, where the former is still reading the story]

Orson: Then the pirates moved closer.

Wade: Are there any pirates nearby, Orson?

Orson: Of course not.

[Roy suddenly comes in in a pirate costume]

Roy: Shiver me timbers and scrape me barnacles and mizzen the mast, whatever that is. I be a pirate!

Wade: And I be getting out of here! [Runs off]

Orson: And I be right beside you! [Runs off]

Wade: Help! Pirate-type person! Call the air force! Call the Marines! Call Peter Pan!

[Meanwhile, Bo is painting the barn]

Wade: Help! [Bo turns over to them] They'll make me walk the plank, and we aren't even near an ocean. [Bumps into the ladder Bo's on, then resumes running] Help!

[Bo falls into a bucket of paint. We then cut to Lanolin washing her wool as Wade crashes into her]

Orson: Wade, I just realized. That was no pirate, that was Roy.

Lanolin: Boy, I wish you'd figured that out 30 seconds sooner.

[Fade to everyone complaining at Roy, who laughs at them]

Roy: What's the matter? Can't you take a joke?

Lanolin: That wasn't funny...Banana Nose! [Everyone starts laughing, except for Roy]

Bo: Banana Nose? Good name for that dude, sis.

Roy: Hey, no fair picking on a guy's nose.

Booker: What's the matter, Roy? Can't you take a joke?

Roy: Sure, if it's funny. I just don't see anything funny about my nose.

Lanolin: Yeah, but you oughta see it from this side! [They all laugh and walk away as Roy gets upset]

Roy: All right! Call me Banana Nose! See if it bothers me! [Walks away] Ha!

[The screen fades to Roy struggling to sleep, as the other farm animals repeatably say "Banana Nose" in his head. The next day, he looks tired as he walks past Booker and Sheldon]

Booker: [While chewing his sandwich] Hey, Banana Nose!

Sheldon: Do you think we oughta kid Roy?

Booker: Sure. [Gulps down part of his sandwich] Hey, wanna have a peanut butter and pickle sandwich?

Sheldon: No, thanks. I just put a TV dinner in the microwave. [A red lights starts flashing on him as a "ding" is here] Oh, good! It's done.

Booker: Come on, let's go search for worms out in the field.

[They walk down to a field]

Booker: You go that way, I'll go this way.

Sheldon: [Walks to the left] Roger.

Booker: [Eats the rest of his sandwich] Alright, worms. It's time. [Runs to the right]

[We then see a worm strolling along until it notices Booker. It jolts forward, with Booker chasing him]

Booker: Aha! You won't get away from me!

[The worm hides behind a log and watches Booker with a grin]

Booker: Where'd he go? Come back here you worm! You, you...

[He falls into the worm's trap as Sheldon comes in]

Sheldon: Booker, where'd you go? I thought I saw some worms! Booker? Booker?

[Meanwhile, Orson comes over and knocks on Roy's door]

Orson: Roy, I've been thinking. Folks shouldn't call you Banana-- [Realizes he's not there] Roy? [He sees a note on his bed and reads it] "Dear, everyone. I thought I had friends here, I guess I was wrong. Don't worry, you'll never see my banana nose here again. Goodbye, signed Roy, (Banana Nose)." Oh, no.

Wade: Can I have his room?

Orson: This is serious. Roy's run away!

Bo: Hey, man. He's always pick on us, playin' tricks and junk like that.

Lanolin: Bo's right.

Orson: But don't you realize what you're acting like?

Lanolin: No, what are we acting like that's so awful?

Orson: You're acting like Roy.

Lanolin: [Realizes] Ooh.

Bo: Pig's gotta point.

Wade: I am shamed. We gotta go find Roy and bring him back.

Sheldon: Orson! Everybody! Booker's missing. We went out into the field to look for worms hours ago and I can't find him anywhere!

Wade: Now everybody's missing!

[They all exit the chicken coop]

Orson: Come on, we gotta search the countryside.

Wade: Poor Booker! Poor Roy! Poor Booker and Roy!

[Meanwhile, Roy is sadly sitting on a rock]

Roy: Well, nose, looks like it's just you and me. I don't think you look like a banana. A ripe zucchini maybe, but not a banana. [Gets up and walks away] I'll go someplace where people don't care about your nose. Boy, wish I brought something to eat. [Sniffs] I'm hungry. [Sniffs some more] I'm imagining I smell a peanut butter sandwich. [Sniffs more] With pickles. [Grins] It is peanut butter and pickles.

[He runs over to the hole Booker fell in and continues sniffing]

Booker: [In the hole] Help! Someone help!

Roy: [Looks in the hole] Booker? Is that you?

Booker: Is that you Banana-- I mean, Roy?

Roy: [Puts a vine in the hole] Climb onto this vine, Booker.

[Meanwhile the others are still searching for Booker]

Sheldon: I last saw Booker around here.

Bo: Hey! Give a look, man. The dude's gone and done it. [They see that Roy has saved Booker from the hole]

Orson: Roy! [Bookers comes out] And Booker!

[They all come to them and cheer]

Orson: How'd you find him, Roy?

Roy: My nose led me to him. I smelled peanut butter and pickles.

Booker: That's what I had for lunch.

Roy: I guess a banana nose is good for something after all.

[Everyone cheers as the song "Banana Nose" begins to play]

[Orson]

Does your nose look like a banana?

Are your toes shaped like Indiana?

Do your ears seem bigger than Montana?

Bo: [Cries]

Dry your tears, we understand ya

Orson: [Speaking] Hey, everyone has something strange about them; that's what makes us all special. Wouldn't it be great if you could just look in the mirror and say...

[Orson; singing]

Yo banana nose, now you know how my sailboat goes!

Here's Montana ears, I have ears so my sister can steer!

Hey hey, Indiana toes, getting me across those winter snows!

Whatever the name! I'm still the same! Nice person!

[The screen fades to black, ending the episode]
