[Woody walks over to the podium (a Playskool Tinkertoy container) and stands. Mike, a speaker with a microphone attached, clears his throat to get Woody's attention and held out his microphone]
Woody: Oh, thanks, Mike.
[He picks up the microphone. Feedback is heard]
Woody: OK..... Whoa, whoa. Step back.
Hamm: [Off-screen] For cryin’ out loud.
[Mike steps back until the feedback fades away]
Woody: Thank you.
[breathes out into the microphone]
Woody: Hello? Check. That better? Great. Everybody hear me? Up on the shelf, can you hear me? Great. OK. First item today: Uh... oh, yeah. Has everyone picked a moving buddy?
[The toys are surprised]
Rex: What?
Hamm: Moving buddy? You can't be serious.
Rex: I didn't know we were supposed to have one already.
Mr. Potato Head: [holding one of his arms] Do we have to hold hands?
[The toys laugh]
Woody: You guys think this is a big joke. We've only got one week left before the move. I don't want any toys left behind. A moving buddy. If you don't have one, get one!
Woody: All right, next. Uh, oh, yes. Tuesday night's plastic corrosion awareness meeting was, I think, a big success. And we wanna thank Mr. Spell for putting that on for us. Thank you, Mr. Spell.
Mr. Spell: You're…welcome.
Woody: OK. Uh, oh, yes. One, uh, minor note here.
[reads quietly]
Woody: Andy's birthday party has been moved to today.
[The toys are shocked]
Rex: What do you mean the party's today? His birthday's not until next week!
Hamm: What's goin' on down there? Is his mom losin' her marbles?
Woody: Well, obviously she wanted to have the party before the move.
[to the other toys]
Woody: I'm not worried. You shouldn't be worried.
Mr. Potato Head: Of course Woody ain't worried. He's been Andy's favorite since kindergarten.
Slinky: Hey, hey. Come on, Potato Head.
[Mr. Potato Head looks at Mr. Spell, pointing at Slinky's butt then pulls out his mouth and tap his butt with it whilst Mr. Spell laughs]
Slinky: If Woody says it's all right then, well, darn it, it's good enough for me. Woody has never steered us wrong before.
Woody: Come on, guys. Every Christmas and birthday, we go through this.
Rex: But what if Andy gets another dinosaur, a mean one? I just don't think I could take that kind of rejection.
Woody: Hey, listen, no one's getting replaced. This is Andy we're talking about. It doesn't matter how much we're played with.
[Woody gestures Mike to move to him since the microphone's wire is stretched too far]
Woody: What matters is that we're here for Andy when he needs us. That's what we're made for, right?
Hamm: Pardon me. I hate to break up the staff meeting but.... they're here! Birthday guests at three o'clock!
