[The recording is muffled and aged, with occasional dips. It begins with FRANK muttering to himself.]
FRANK: Let's see now.. right over left, under and through, fold on THIS side, down, up and around, pass it through and PULL- there! A perfectly tied Croquet Tie.
[Frank's door swing open. JULIE enters, excited and a little wound up.]
JULIE: Fraaank! Frank!!!
FRANK: Hm? Oh, Hi, Julie- come on in.
[Julie scampers inside, door closing.]
JULIE: Fraaaank, we're almost ready to start Hula Hoop BOWLING Croquet!
FRANK: I know Julie, it's just- wait. Bowling? You can't just keep putting 'bowling' in other games, Julie. Remember Bowling Basketball?
JULIE: I sure do! You got mad because Barnaby kept winning.
FRANK: Well, now I have to change.
JULIE: What! Why?!
FRANK: Because now I'm in the wrong bowtie. You're in your bowling dress, I can't show up in my croquet bowtie.
JULIE: Ohhh, does it really matter?
FRANK: Of course it matters!
JULIE: Well... Why?
FRANK: It... just wouldn't be right. It's like- well take our games for example. It wouldn't be fun if there weren't rules, right?
[JULIE gasps with delight.]
JULIE: It COULD be.
FRANK: No, no, no, remember what happened when you tried playing 'Hopscotch To The Max'?
JULIE: I do-ooo.
FRANK: It took us an hour to get you down off Howdys roof, and we still don't know where the green chalk went...
JULIE: I still won!
FRANK: So you say. But it wasn't fun for me.
JULIE: Oh, that's true. You were pretty grumpy, even though you DID help me get all the leaves out of my hair.
FRANK: Exactly. I like it when there's rules. I like knowing what I'm supposed to be doing. I like it when things are... organized, or. Done right. When things are so... when they're just.... just...
JULIE: Just... so?
FRANK: Yes! Just so!
[The audio breaks down for a few seconds, with strange noises and a laugh audible, before the recording is fixed and Frank begins singing.]
FRANK: Like the way I tie my bow tie- just so!
JULIE: Oh!
FRANK: I know how to tie the loop around, and exactly how to pull!
JULIE: Or like the way you keep your garden all in rows!
FRANK: Yes! That way I always know, where each plant will grow.
JULIE: I think I get it now! [Increasingly quick and off-meter] You just like everything neat, and tidy, and sure, and careful, and organized in a row, like a bow- just so!!
FRANK: Right! ...Sort of. So if you'll just give me a moment, I can find the RIGHT bowtie, and-
[There's a knock at the door, oddly slow and non-rhythmic.]
FRANK: Oh for the love of-
JULIE: I'll get it!
[The door opens.]

RandomThese are the transcripts of the series "Welcome Home", and I decided, why not put it on Wattpad? Cuz for me, reading these on the website was kind of glitchy/laggy. So, I put it on here for you all to enjoy, or for all you lazy pieces of shits who...
