Welcome to the show.
I'm Mr. Clown.
- And I'm Tommy the Tomato.
Mr. Clown, what's with the glass of water?
Oh, its in case I have to wet my whistle.
You can't whistle with dry lips, can you?
[exhaling] I just can't whistle.
But I can coo like a pigeon.
[imitates pigeon call] What's that pigeon talking about?
There's no pigeon.
I heard a pigeon.
- No!
I'm just really good at doing impressions.
See?
This is my Mr. Clown: (in Mr. Clowns voice) Don't worry, Animal Control.
There are no pigeons here.
Wow, you really are good at impressions.
I bet you can't do an impression of me.
(exact repeat) I bet you can't do an impression of me.
Whoa.
- Hah!
I could do that all day.
[sizzling] [Meep murmurs calmly] Meep, this is no time to sauna.
(Mr. Clown) Theres steam everywhere.
We cant see anything.
[Meep squeaks apologetically] Thank you, Meep.
Tommy, do you realize what today's show is?
Yeah.
The best show ever to be made ever.
Every show we do is the best show ever.
But it's also our 10th show.
Wow.
10 shows.
It seems like only yesterday we were doing show 1.
And then show 2.
Show 3.
Show 4 was my favorite.
Remember show 5?
Tommy, what are you doing?
Seems like a good excuse to count to 10.
I can count to 10.
Oh, well.
That's impressive.
I love counting.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 And... And... Tommy, help me out here.
10!
[fanfare] Wow!
“Congrats on being the 10,010th to count to 10”?
We won!
Were the 10,010th to count to 10.
I didn't even know we were in a contest.
I know!
Who knew you could win an award just for counting to 10?
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10.
I can count to 10.
Oh, hi!
Whoa, whoa.
Whoa!
Oh!
Did you win something?
What did you win?
Did you win a prize?
Yes, Nori the Narwhal.
We were the 10,010th to count to 10.
Yeah, like it says on the banner you just shredded.
Oh, well, I can count to 10.
1-2-3 4-5-6-7-8 9-10 Oh.
Well, congratulations.
Bye now!
- Ok, thank you!
Just getting out of here.
- Thank you, Nori.
Hang on a sec.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Beep, beep, beep.
Watch that poster.
Ugh.
- Wow.
And now our amazing band leader, Ozzie and the Pride!
Oh, no.
My doughnut!
Don't worry, Ozzie.
I'm sure your doughnut will come down soon.
Hmm.
- Huh Any second now.
Yeah.
Not as soon as I thought.
Well, we can't wait around all day.
Let me introduce my band, The Pride.
[band plays perfectly] No!
Let's go for broke, Mr. Clown!
Level 10!
Wait!
Tommy, are you hearing this?
Fine!
Level 11!
No.
No, Tommy.
The band sounds completely different.
It sounds great.
It's amazing.
We've got the best show band in the w— Oh, no!
Tommy!
I didn't even pull back the lever.
I have no idea where Tommy went.
(Director) ♪ Where, oh where ♪ (Director) ♪ Where, oh where ♪ ♪ has Tommy gone?
♪ ♪ Where, oh where can they be?
♪ Um, Director?
Now's not the best ♪ time for singing.
♪ ♪ We can't find Tommy.
♪ ♪ I'm just helping!
♪ ♪ Not really so much.
♪ Ugh.
Oh no!
I'm stuck.
I'm stuck in the rafters.
The rafters?
To the basement!
No, no, no, no.
I think Tommys on a raft in a river.
(Ozzie) Well, that makes sense.
Ugh!
No, I'm above you.
The rafters are part of the ceiling!
Oh.
Hey, Tommy, what are you doing up in the rafters?
[gasping as creatures scuttle about] It's really scary up here.
Oh!
Ozzies delicious doughnut.
Oh, peanut brittle!
Tommy, you're super high up.
Can you jump down?
Yeah.
Definitely not jumping.
Mmm.
Ahh.
Oh, yeah.
So, how are we going to get Tommy down?
Uhhh... step stool?
Too short.
Oh!
A beanstalk?
They take too long to grow.
Ooh!
A fire engine ladder!
Oh, perfect.
Oh, no.
That's too big to fit through the door.
Awww Ugh, is anybody out there?
Can you hear me?
Tommy?
Tommy!
Wow.
I didn't know Tommy was a TV actor.
Hey, what's the name of the show?
It's called “Stuck in the Rafters,” and it's a documentary!
Oh!
I'm scared.
There's a bunch of weird noises, and it's pretty dark up here.
Were going to save you, Tommy.
Once we figure out how.
Okay Can you do me a favor, though?
Can you please find out the letter of the day?
It'll make me feel like everything is normal even though I'm stuck here in the ceiling with no way of ever coming down.
Of course.
Ozzie, to the Surprise Corner!
[Tommy singing] ♪ Surprise Corner ♪ ♪ Unwrapping a letter in the corner ♪ ♪ Surprise Corner ♪ ♪ Unwrapping a letter in the corner ♪ ♪ Surprise Corner ♪ ♪ Unwrapping a letter Unwrapping a letter ♪ ♪ Surprise Corner ♪ ♪ Unwrapping a letter in the corner ♪ ♪ Its a D!
♪♪ ♪ Unwrapping a letter.
♪ ♪ Unwrapping a letter.
♪ It's “T,” Tommy!
“T” for Tommy!
Thats the letter D, Mr. Clown.
Oh, sorry.
I was missing Tommy so much, I got confused.
It's the letter D. Not for Tommy.
Oh my daffodils.
The letter D!
Can you show it to me?
Please.
Closer.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good letter.
D is a great letter.
We need to learn as much as we can about the letter D, then hopefully you'll have figured out a way to get me down.
“Down.” That's a good D word.
Yes.
We are going to be brainstorming diligently.
Hmmm.
I wonder what that means.
Hello, Liesel.
Hello, Mr. Clown.
I have an extra special letter for you today.
Nice.
I cannot wait.
It's the letter D. Oh.
That is a good letter.
And now I would like to tell you what the letter D sounds like.
It sounds like this: [gibberish] Okay, well, I could see how you would think that, but that is not how the letter D sounds.
Wait, I made a mistake.
Whoo!
That means I'm learning.
Yes.
So, that letter D actually sounds like this: Di-di-di... Doo doo doo?
Dah dah dah dah!
Dress.
Oh, yeah.
That's a good D word.
Thank you.
Or di-di-dinosaur!
Oh, I love dinosaurs so much!
What about du-du- dump truck?
Oh, yes.
Great D word, Mr. Clown.
And you know what?
Dump trucks: they move so much dirt.
Dirt!
Oh, that's a great D word.
Thank you.
Hm.
Ok.
I can't think of any more D words.
Can you?
Nope.
Fresh out.
[dog barking, panting] Jason, down.
Down, Jason.
Oh, wait.
That's a D word.
“Down.” Oh, yes.
Oh, that was really awesome, Jason.
Thank you.
You helped us think of another D word, but I cannot think of any more.
No other D words come to mind.
Oh well... Hmm... Let me think further on this.
[dog whimpers] A defiant dandelion didn't dance despite daily directions from the daisy.
Flowers are dramatic.
[dog panting, Animal Control muttering] That's strange.
It smells like dog in here.
Meep needs help finding all the things in their apartment that start with the letter D. Hey, I see one right now.
That's a dog!
Look over on the kitchen floor.
That's a stack of dice.
And there's a bunch of dirty dishes in the sink.
Did you know that arrow is pointing down?
Down is where I'd like to be going.
We did it.
We found four things that start with the letter D. Mystery solved.
We're gonna figure out how to get you down!
How long have I been up here?
7?
8?
9?
10 days?
Looks like 6 minutes.
See?
I'm losing all sense of time.
I'm delirious.
Oh.
“Delirious.” Oh, that's another good D word.
Hurry!
Get me down!
Tommy!
Oh, no!
What are we going to do?
Tommys all the way up there & we have to get ‘em down here.
Hey, I know!
Maybe we have to go up to get Tommy down.
That sounds like the opposite of what we need to do.
Well, I think the opposite is exactly what we need to do.
All we need is a small balloon that's large enough to hol a rescue team that looks, talks, smells, sounds, and acts just like you and me to float up to Tommy.
Balloon for sale!
Perfectly sized for a clown and a dog.
Today only.
There's even a basket, and there's room for tomato, too.
Not now, Mo.
It's perfect for short trips to rafters.
No, thank you.
Wait.
“Rafters”?
Oh, that's exactly what we need.
Mo!
Yes?
We'll take one.
Sold!
[Jason panting] All right.
We got our balloon.
And... what's next?
We need to inflate the balloon so it can fly.
(interrupted by static) Mr. Clown, help me!
Tommy?
Tommy!
Oh, no!
It's now more dire than ever to get Tommy.
Ooh.
“Dire.” Good D word.
Wonder what “dire” means.
Desperate.
“Desperate”?
Another good D word.
I hope Tommy's not in any danger.
“Danger”!
D word.
Ugh!
[insects scuttling] What am I going to do?
[horror music, insects scuttling] Aahhh!
[crickets chirping] Oh!
Hah!
Its my cricket fans.
Yay!
I didnt know you lived up here.
Yes!
Come here, grapes.
[party music] Hah!
Yeah!
[flash bulbs] Woo!
Haha!
Dance for me, crickets.
Oh, no!
What is going on up there?
Oh, Tommy must be so scared.
Whee!
Yeah!
Ha ha!
Okay.
That's it.
Milton.
Ozzie.
Meep.
What are we doing?
How do we inflate this balloon?
We need to save Tommy.
Youre absolutely right, Mr. Clown.
There's nothing more important than Tommy.
There's no show without Tommy.
Nothing could pull me away from helping Tommy out of that ceiling.
Uh, Milton, arent you supposed to meet up with Miss Information now?
Oh, you're right.
Hello and welcome to Milton's Magic Microphone also known as MMM.
I'm here with misinformation.
Excuse me, Milton.
You have to pause between “Miss” and “Information.” Oh!
Miss— mmm... ...Information!
Exactly.
I'm Miss Information.
I know everything about everything.
Well I'm glad we got that cleared up, Miss... Information.
Now let's fire up the magic microphone and get into it.
Ooh.
Ahh.
Wow!
It's freezing in here.
Believe it or not, Milton, we're in the desert.
No way.
Deserts are supposed to be hot.
Hot and cold.
Hot and cold?
But those are opposites of each other.
A desert is just a large area of Earth that doesn't get much rain.
The largest col desert on Earth is Antarctica, and the largest hot desert on Earth is the Sahara.
And believe it or not, hot deserts can get extremely cold at night.
Since there's no moisture in the air, very little heat is retained.
And even though we think of sand in the desert, only about 20% of the Earth's deserts are sandy.
Wow.
I was sure I knew what a desert was, and now, thanks to you, Miss Information, I really do.
Back to you, Mr. Clown.
Oh, is it just me, or is it hot in here?
Nope.
I'm cold.
Definitely cold.
(Mr. Clown) Cold is good.
More ice!
Yes!
Yes!
Oh!
Hmmm....
Nothing.
Oh, we need more ice!
Milton!
Do you have any ice?
No, Mr. Clown.
We need the opposite.
Hot air will make the balloon inflate and go up.
We need hot air.
But what can we use to make hot air?
Hmmm....
I know!
Meep.
The steam from your sauna is hot air.
We can use that.
[Meep squeaks] I don't thin the sauna makes enough hot air to get us into the rafters.
We need more hot air.
[Meep squeaks] Oh, it's too much sauna for you?
And you had to turn it off?
Oh no.
What are we going to do now?
What else makes hot air?
Hmmm... More!
More dancing!
Tommy!
Tommy!
We've run out of ideas.
Oh, it's hopeless.
You know whats hopeless?
My leaves!
They've been disagreeing with me all day.
Violet, we are dealing with a dramatic dilemma.
We don't have time to tal about your disagreeable leaves.
Look at them.
It's a disaster.
Wait.
Violet.
Let me have your hair dryer.
No.
But I do need to sing about it.
But, but, but...
But what?
But she should come back and help us!
Oh, right.
[piano music begins] ♪ I feel sad And it feels bad ♪ Violet, stop!
We need to save Tommy!
Then let your emotions out in song.
Let's make it a duet.

Violet.
Now that your leaves look great, can we use your hair dryer?
Of course.
[hair dryer turns on] Oooh!
[angelic music] So beautiful!
[angelic music] Um, aren't you supposed to be filling this balloon with hot ai to save Tommy from the rafters?
Oh!
Oh!
- We almost forgot!
Oh, you're right.
Tommy, we're coming for you!
You're welcome.
Look at it go.
It's working.
Cool!

Hey... Our balloon!
Uh, heh... (Mo) Emergency hot air balloon patches for sale.
Today only!
Thats convenient.
So, for my portrait, what's my best angle?
This angle?
Or this angle?
[crickets chirping] I agree.
This one.
Oh.
Oh boy.
We are super high up.
- Oh boy.
This is a little bit shaky!
Why is this basket moving so much?
Oh, I don't know.
Meep!
[Meep squeaking] No!
Meep.
It's too far to jump.
[Meep squeaking] Oh!
Meep jumped.
I can't believe it!
Oh boy.
Hey, shouldn't we all have parachutes?
Hey, my friends are coming to save me.
[crickets chirping] No, I don't need saving.
I know, I know, I know.
Oh, what the—?
Theres Tommy.
- Tommy!
We're coming, Tommy!
Wow.
[Meep squeaking] Bye!
See you later.
We had fun.
They seem like a nice group of bugs.
The best.
That one reminded me of my grandma.
Wow.
It sounds like you had quite the adventure, Mr. Clown.
Well, you too, Tommy.
I did.
The only thing I'm disappointed about is I missed the word of the day.
Oh, no.
I did too, but I don't want to worry about that.
I'm just so delighted to have you back, Tommy.
In fact, I'm so excited, I just want to dance.
“Dance”!
