Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Mike: *looking right at Peter* where’s Peter?
Davy: Did you know that your pupils gets bigger at things you like a lot? No kidding, pupil dilation regulates light intake, and your eyes taking in light is what makes you see, so you literally see things you like more than things you don’t because of pupil dialation! Isn’t that far out?
Peter, eyes blown out to saucers: Outta sight.
ANYTHING could happen in a cold open of The Monkees
Micky gets jumped, Peter makes a deal with the devil for a harp, Davy rescues a girl from drowning, Mike takes them to Texas on a lawn mower
Micky: I dare you to tell us a secret.
Peter: Okay, I’m… in love with Davy.
Davy: He said a secret, Peter.

“I actually adore David Jones. We don’t have a lot in common — it’s really amazing. [Micky] and I have a great deal in common and we’re pals, but I don’t have the same depth of feeling for him as I do Davy.”
“I kind of fell in love with Davy Jones.”
“My heart connection is biggest with Davy. Davy is capable of as much heart as anyone I’ve ever met. I kind of had a crush on Davy for a while.”
“Davy actually kinda got my heart.”
“I love and respect each of these guys in their own way, although the real joys that I shared with Davy were special. [. . .] He was the one member in the group that I had the strongest human connection with.”
“What I don’t often say is that I loved David the most.”
Peter: *chasing Davy around the pad, hitting him over the head with a newspaper* Stop. Putting. My. Guitar. Picks. In. Your. Mouth!
Everyone is smiling
And then there’s Mike

“Peter was really a sweet person, a gentle person, and would always look you in the eye and want to talk about things. Peter was much more emotional, and gentle, and he — you know, I’m sure we hugged many times, he was a hugger, he was a really lovely soul.” - Barbara Hamaker, The Monkees Pad Show no. 4 (x)
