- We may have gone a bit out of our way, but don't despair, team!
We wound up in the home of the greatest flag maker in all the land!
Betsy Ross!
- Ah!
George Washington?
I finally finished a flag good enough for you and your brave team.
(Cat laughing) - Oh doodle ho!
- Cool flag, Betsy!
- I like it.
- We shall bear this flag proudly.
- Cat?
- Yeah?
- Did you accidently light this string which leads to the cannon, which has a huge cannon ball?
- Uh, yes.
- We can't stop it!
(Cat screaming) - Thank you, Betsy Ross.
- You're welcome, George Washington.

- Is that on the map?
- It must have just floated over.
- Turn, team!
- (all): Nooooo!
- We may be stuck on a tree, but don't lose hope, team!
- But we were so close to crossing the Delaware!
We keep almost getting across the Delaware, but we never ever make it across the Delaware!
- Hey, are you losing hope?
- N- no.
But I am totally freaking out!
(whistle sounding) Cat and George Washington are right.
I should count backwards from 5 to calm down.
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
- Whoa-hoa-hoa!
- That's it, you leaning genius!
- Huh?
- The reason we're balanced on the tree is because there's the same weight on both sides!
But if we lean to one side, the boat won't be balanced anymore, and we'll fall back into the river.
- We-he-he-hell!
Johnny Manoni!
That Cat has a fine idea!
Lean to the side, team!
- George Washington thinks I'm fine!
- So, because we know about balance and using a map, we're about to make it across the Delaware!
- With math, you can turn the world upside dooooooown!!!
(all screaming) - (together): George Washington is so cool!
- Onward, team!
