Story
(Opening-Cooler selects five Golden Tickets, puts them in candy bars and sends them into the world. A narrator speaks. We see Vinnie on the street.)

NARRATOR: This is the story of an ordinary little boy named Vinnie Terrio. He was not faster, or stronger, or more clever than other children. His family was not rich, or powerful, or well-connected...in fact, they barely had enough to eat. Vinnie Terrio was the luckiest boy in the entire world- he just didn’t know it yet.

(Vinnie runs into his house, which is ramshackle and built on a slant. He and his family are extremely poor. Jane Read is making soup, and David Read enters, wrapped up against the winter cold. Blythe Baxter is in bed.)

David Read: Evening, Everyone!

Vinnie Terrio: Hi, Dad!

Jane Read: Soup’s almost ready, darling.

(They kiss.)

Jane Read: Just cabbage and water tonight, dear. Don’t suppose there’s anything extra to put in tonight? Oh well- nothing goes better with cabbage than cabbage.

David Read: Vinnie, I found something I think you’ll like...

(He pulls a set of oddly shaped toothpaste caps from his pocket and gives them to Vinnie. The scene shifts to the toothpaste tubes on a conveyor belt.)

NARRATOR: Vinnie’s father worked in the local toothpaste factory. The hours were long and the pay was terrible, but sometimes, there were unexpected surprises.

(David Read pockets an oddly shaped cap. Back in the House, Vinnie picks up an oddly shaped cap.)

Vinnie: It’s exactly what I need!

Blythe Baxter: What is it, Vinnie?

(Vinnie reveals a model of the Cooler factory made entirely of caps.)

Vinnie: Dad found it- just the piece I needed.

Blythe Baxter: What piece was it?

Vinnie: A head for Cooler.

Blythe Baxter: It’s quite a likeness.

Vinnie Terrio: You think so?

Blythe Baxter: Think so? I know so! I saw Cooler with my own two eyes! I used to work for him, you know.

Vinnie Terrio: You did?

Blythe Baxter: I did.

Blythe Baxter: Of course, I was a much younger girl in those days. Only, say, 12 or 13.

(She has a flashback of the small candy store. People mull about.)

Blythe Baxter: Quite a few years ago, Cooler began with a small store on Cherry Street, But the whole world wanted his candy.

(Younger Blythe Baxter appears, talking to an offstage Cooler.)

Younger Blythe: Mr. Cooler?

Cooler: (offstage) Yeah?

Blythe Baxter: We need more Cooler Bars, and we’re out of chocolate birds!

Cooler: (Offstage) Birds? Well, then, we’ll need to make some more! Here!

(Cooler, still offstage, tosses younger Blythe Baxter a candy egg.
