Mom: (in Doorway, To Gerald, Who Is In Bed) Goodnight, Dear.

Dad: (in Doorway, Too, To Gerald) Goodnight, Gerald. (and To The Dog, On The Floor Beside The Bed) Goodnight, Sparky.

Mom: (to Sparky) Goodnight, Sparky.

Gerald: Goodnight, Mom. Goodnight, Dad. Goodnight, Sparky.

(Door Closes And Lights Go Out. Sparky Jumps Up And Runs To The Foot Of The Bed Where He Makes A Huge Shadow Of An Alligator On The Wall)

Sparky: (singing) Imagine Me An Alligator! (chorus In Background Sings "Alligator!")

Gerald: MOM! There's An Alligator In My Room!

Mom: (coming In; Sparky Dashes Back Beside The Bed) I Don't See An Alligator.

Gerald: Sure, It's Not There Now, But When You Turn Out The Light, It's There!

Mom: Go To Sleep, Gerald. It's Just Your Imagination.

(Door Closes And Lights Go Out. Up Jumps Sparky.)

Sparky: (singing) Sweet Potato! (chorus: "Alligator!") I Was Lookin' --

Gerald: MOM!!!!!

Mom & Dad: (opening Door; Sparky Of Course Returns To Spot) What Is It?!

Gerald: The Alligator! It's Back!

Mom: (leaving) Go To Sleep, Gerald.

(Sparky Resumes His Song)

Sparky: (singing) And You Came By For Me To Munch Ya!
I'm Afraid Of Gettin' Thinner
Won't You Please Become My Dinner --

Gerald: (peeking Over The End Of The Bed) Sparky!!! It Was You All The Time!

(Sparky Blushes And Goes To Sleep)

Mom: (from Hallway) What Is That Singing?

Gerald: Oh, Nothing, Mom. Just Your Imagination. (grins)
