Our story starts with a 'Happy Birthday' sign hung over a bench, with presents below. The sign is also hung just over a window, with a wonderful view of the city of Chicago, Illinois. We then see a little boy named Andy Barclay, joyful that it's his 6th birthday. He looks over to his TV, where he has his favorite show on, 'Good Guys'. It's a rerun. "I've seen this one already," Andy says, disappointed.
He then turns around and hops up to a stool to reach up to his kitchens counter. He pours heaps of 'Good Guy Cereal' into a small, round bowl. Then, he pours tons of spoonfuls of sugar on top of the cereal, followed by milk, overflowing the top and oozing onto the tray. Next, he puts two pieces of bread into a toaster. He turns around to see the TV again.
It is now playing an advertisement for 'Good Guy Dolls'. "Now you can have your very own Good Guy, kids! We say three phrases, blink our eyes, and shake our heads when you talk to us. Right, Oscar?" says a giant, life-size, Good Guy. "Hi I'm Oscar, and I'm your friend 'til the end! Heidy-ho! Ha ha ha!" says the Good Guy doll named Oscar. "But be careful," the giant Good Guy said again, "If you drop us, or we get hurt, we bleed, and you'll have to buy Good Guy Band-aids!" This was an advertising trick they were using, so you would buy more of their products, to make more money.
"WOW!" Andy exclaimed, excited. He looked over at the bench. He saw a present in the shape of a big box. He could just tell it was a Good Guy Doll. The toaster popped up, with burnt to a crisp bread.
He hopped back up onto the stool, and carefully pulled the bread out of the toaster and dropped it onto the plate on the tray. He put a heaping spoonful of butter onto one piece of the bread. Next, he poured a glass of orange juice, then hopped off of the counter, grabbed the tray, and started carrying it to his mother's room. He stopped to look at the TV again, hoping he could get a Good Guy. He then continued walking.
"Mommy, wake up!" Andy exclaimed. "Mommy!" He then walked into her room.
