IT HURTS MY EYES JUST TO LOOK AT IT.
UGH!

I AM THE ONLY POGO STICK COACH IN THE WORLD, AND I SAY YOU WILL NEVER WIN POGO GOLD, NEVER, EVER, EVER UNLESS... - UNLESS WHAT?

- SORRY.
- WE HAVE BOINGING WORK TO DO.
- SORRY, SIR.
SORRY.
OK, TELLY.
GOOD LUCK.
- THANKS, BABY BEAR!
- AH!
WE MUST FIRST WORK ON YOUR NOSE.
- MY NOSE?
WHAT DOES MY NOSE HAVE TO DO WITH BOINGING?
- WHAT DOES YOUR NOSE HAVE TO DO WITH BOINGING?
WHY, EVERYTHING.
BOINGING IS ALL IN THE NOSE.
- IT IS?
- YOU MUST KEEP YOUR NOSE UP, POINTED UP TO THE SKY.
THAT IS THE PROPER BOINGING FORM.
- I NEVER KNEW THAT.
- IF YOU WANT TO WIN POGO GOLD... - I DO, I DO, I DO.
- THEN YOUR HOLD NOSE UP HIGH!
TRY AGAIN.
BOING.
- OK. BOING.
LET'S SEE.
- WAIT, WAIT.
NOSE UP.
GOOD, GOOD.
NOSE UP.
YES.
UP, UP.
KEEP THE NOSE UP.
UP IN THE NOSE.
UP THE NOSE, UP, UP, UP!
- AAH!
- THAT WAS TOO FAR UP.
- [GROANING] I'M OK, I'M OK. - DID I ASK?
TRY AGAIN.
- OK. - OHH!
THAT IS TERRIBLE.
- YOU MEAN, MY NOSE?
- NO, NO, NO.
YOUR NOSE IS PERFECT, BUT YOUR POGO STICK IS BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
YOU'LL NEVER WIN POGO GOLD LIKE THAT.
YOU MUST BOING IN PLACE.
- BUT IT'S MORE FUN TO BOUNCE AROUND.
- DO YOU WANT TO HAVE THIS FUN, OR DO YOU WANT TO WIN?
- I--I WANT TO WIN.
- GOOD.
YOU SEE THAT SPECK OF DIRT ON THE GROUND?
- UH, KIND OF.
- EH, NOSE UP.
YOU MUST LAND ON THAT SPECK OF DIRT EVERY TIME.
- BUT HOW DO I-- - DO IT.
- OK. - NOSE UP!
- OH.
OK. - SPECK.
- OK, BUT HOW DO I SEE THE SPECK-- - NOSE UP.
- OHH!
- UGH!
THAT'S TERRIBLE.
YOU KEEP MISSING THE SPECK OF DIRT.
DO IT AGAIN, AND THIS TIME, REMEMBER, TUCK YOUR ELBOWS, STRAIGHTEN YOUR BACK.
ARE YOUR WRISTS LOOSE?
- YES.
- TOO LOOSE!
BELLY IN, NOSE UP.
AGAIN!
- THIS ISN'T VERY COMFORTABLE.
- DO YOU WANT TO BE COMFORTABLE, OR DO YOU WANT TO WIN POGO GOLD?
- I WANT TO WIN POGO GOLD!
- WELL, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO.
- HUH?
- NOT THE WAY YOU BOING.
MAYBE IF WE HAD MORE TIME.
[FANFARE] - OH!
THE POGO GAMES, THEY'RE STARTING.
- WELL, I DID MY BEST.
JUST TRY NOT TO MESS UP.
- OHH.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] [FANFARE] - I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!
TELLY IS BOINGING IN THE POGO GAMES.
- I KNOW!
WHAT AN HONOR!
OH, I HOPE HE WINS!
- OK. SHH, SHH.
- WELCOME TO THE POGO GAMES, WHERE THE CONTESTANT WITH THE MOST POGO POINTS WINS POGO GOLD.
OUR FIRST EVENT IS THE BING-BANG-BOING.
BOINGERS MUST BOING AS FAST AS THEY CAN.
OUR FIRST CONTESTANT IS ANNA KARENINA FROM RUSSIA.
SHE'S KNOWN FOR HER PERFECT NOSE TECHNIQUE.
[BEEP BEEP BOING] OH, AND THERE'S THE BOINGING BUZZER.
- THAT IS AMAZING.
- WOW!
THAT WAS FAST.
SHE'S SURE TO GET A PERFECT 10.
OH.
WHAT WAS THAT?
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
WE'RE GETTING WORD FROM THE JUDGES.
SOMETHING WAS NOT PERFECT WITH HER BOING.
LET'S SEE THAT BOING AGAIN IN SLOW MOTION.
IT LOOKS LIKE ANNA KARENINA IS ABOUT TO SNEEZE.
- AH-CHOO!
- OHH!
OHH!
AW.
SHE SNEEZED.
OH, WHAT A DISASTER!
SHE WILL DEFINITELY LOSE POINTS FOR THAT.
AND HERE COMES HER SCORE.
LOOKS LIKE SHE GOT 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8, 8 POGO POINTS.
OH, THAT SNEEZE CERTAINLY SET HER BACK.
- OOH, BOY.
I DON'T THINK THAT TURNED OUT THE WAY SHE WANTED IT TO.
- YEAH.
SHE LOOKS REALLY DISAPPOINTED.
- UH, THAT'S OK, ANNA KARENINA.
YOU'RE STILL A GREAT POGO STICKER.
- OHH!
- AND OUR NEXT CONTESTANT IS YAO BOING FROM CHINA.
HE HAS SUPERB NOSE CONTROL.
[BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BOING] - [GASP] - TALK ABOUT FAST.
NOW THAT HAD TO BE A PERFECT BING-BANG-BOING.
OH, WAIT.
I'M SORRY.
THE JUDGES DON'T THINK SO.
WHAT DID WE MISS?
LET'S SEE THAT BOING AGAIN IN SLOW MOTION.
HIS NOSE, IT'S TWITCHING.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE MAY HAVE HAD AN ITCH, BUT WILL HE SCRATCH IT?
OH, NO!
OHH!
HE TOOK HIS HAND OFF THE POGO STICK.
THAT'S A POGO NO-NO.
OH, THAT SCRATCH IS GONNA COST HIM BIG TIME.
LET'S SEE WHAT HIS SCORE IS.
OH.
1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 7 POGO POINTS.
- D-DON'T CRY, YAO.
7 IS STILL A GREAT SCORE.
- NO, NO!
- AND NOW IT'S TELLY MONSTER'S TURN.
- LET'S GO, TELLY!
WE LOVE YOU!
- THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND!
THAT'S MY BEST FRIEND!
- REMEMBER EVERYTHING I TOLD YOU.
OH, AND, TRY NOT TO BE TERRIBLE.
- OHH.
TRY NOT TO BE TERRIBLE.
GOOD.
- HE LOOKS A WEE BIT UNCOMFORTABLE, DOESN'T HE, GINA?
- HE DOES.
I HOPE HE'S OK. - YEAH.
TELLY'S SUPERFAST.
[BEEP BEEP BOING] - OK. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE SPECK OF DIRT AND KEEP YOUR NOSE UP.
EYES DOWN, NOSE UP.
EYES DOWN, NOSE UP!
FASTER, FASTER, FASTER!
- UH-OH.
IT LOOKS LIKE TELLY MONSTER'S HAVING SOME TROUBLE GETTING STARTED.
- FASTER, FASTER, FASTER!
- AAH!
- [SPECTATORS GROAN] - YOU FORGOT TO BOING.
- OHH!
HE FELL OFF HIS POGO STICK.
THIS IS MORE THAN A DISASTER.
IT IS A FIASCO!
- TELLY!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
TELLY NEVER HAD TROUBLE WITH THE BING-BANG-BOING BEFORE.
- I KNOW.
OH, POOR TELLY.
- YEP.
AND LET'S CHECK THE SCORE.
OOH!
0 POGO POINTS.
NO ONE IN THE HISTORY OF BOINGING HAS EVER GOTTEN 0.
- TELLY, THAT WAS THE WORST BOINGING I HAVE EVER SEEN.
- I'M SORRY, COACH.
- AW.
- AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR OUR NEXT AND LAST EVENT THE HIGH BOING, WHERE WE SEE WHO CAN BOING THE HIGHEST.
OOP.
AND HERE GOES ANNA KARENINA WITH HER NOSE STRAIGHT UP IN THE AIR.
LOOK AT HER GO!
SHE BOINGED TO THE TOP OF THE TREE.
NOW WATCH HER COME DOWN.
WILL SHE STICK HER LANDING?
OH, NO!
THE POGO STICK DIDN'T STICK IN THE GROUND.
WHAT A SHAME.
SHE'LL LOSE POINTS FOR THAT.
HERE'S HER SCORE.
SHE ALREADY HAD 8 POGO POINTS, AND NOW SHE HAS 9... 10... 11... 12... 13... 14... 15 POGO POINTS ALTOGETHER.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] IT'S A VERY, VERY GOOD SCORE.
LET'S SEE IF YAO BOING CAN MATCH IT.
AND HERE'S THE BOING.
[BOING] OOH.
BEAUTIFUL BOING TO THE TOP OF THE TREE, BUT WILL HE STICK HIS POGO STICK LANDING?
OH!
HIS POGO STICK STUCK, BUT IT'S A LITTLE WOBBLY.
LET'S CHECK THE SCORE.
HE ALREADY HAS 7 POGO POINTS, AND HE HAS 8... 9, 10... 11, 12... 13, 14... 15 POGO POINTS ALTOGETHER.
- HEY.
THAT'S GOOD.
OK. - ANNA KARENINA AND YAO BOING ARE TIED.
THEY EACH HAVE 15 POGO POINTS.
WILL TELLY MONSTER BE ABLE TO BEAT THOSE SCORES?
- NO WAY.
NOT IN A MILLION YEARS.
- YOU'RE RIGHT, COACH.
I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO IT.
- WHAT'S THIS?
IT LOOKS LIKE TELLY MONSTER IS QUITTING THE POGO GAMES.
- TELLY, TELLY, COME HERE.
TELLY, TELLY, TELLY, LOOK AT ME.
YOU CAN'T QUIT.
YOU'VE WORKED SO HARD FOR THIS.
- YES.
- WHAT'S THE USE?
THE COACH IS RIGHT.
I'M A TERRIBLE BOINGER.
I HAVE 0 POGO POINTS.
I DON'T BELONG IN THE POGO GAMES.
- TELLY, COME HERE, COME CLOSER.
NOW DO NOT LISTEN TO COACH POGOLYI.
YOU CAN DO THIS, OK?
YOU ARE THE BEST POGO STICKER WE KNOW!
- YES!
- WHAT ABOUT MY NOSE?
- FORGET ABOUT YOUR NOSE, TELLY!
YOU NEED TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, OK?
NOW YOU GO OUT THERE, AND YOU BOING THE WAY YOU ALWAYS DO.
- YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
REMEMBER, PAL.
YOU WERE BORN TO BOING.
- BORN TO BOING.
- YOU CAN DO THIS!
- OK.
I'M GONNA GO BOING MY WAY.
- YES, GREAT.
YOU CAN DO IT!
HE CAN DO IT!
HE'S GONNA DO IT!
COME ON, TELLY!
- WAIT, WAIT.
IT LOOKS LIKE TELLY MONSTER IS GOING TO DO THE HIGH BOING AFTER ALL.
[BOING] BOINGING ALL OVER THE PLACE.
HIS NOSE IS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL.
- OOH!
- WHAT A BOING!
HE'S HEADED FOR A CLOUD!
OH, NO!
HE WENT THROUGH THE CLOUD, BUT WILL BE ABLE TO STICK HIS LANDING?
NOW THAT'S A POGO STICK STICK!
HA HA HA!
YEAH.
LET'S SEE WHAT SCORE HE GETS.
HE HAD 0 POINTS, AND NOW HE HAS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... 7, 8, 9, 10.
A PERFECT 10!
- 10!
WOW!
YEAH, TELLY!
- NOBODY IN THE HISTORY OF THE POGO GAMES HAS EVER GOTTEN A PERFECT 10.
OH.
WAIT A MINUTE.
HE'S GETTING MORE POGO POINTS.
11, 12, 13, 14... 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20!
A PERFECT 20!
OH, THAT'S MORE POINTS THAN ANYONE!
THAT MEANS HE'S WON.
TELLY HAS WON THE POGO GOLD.

- SORRY?
THAT WAS THE BEST BOING I'VE EVER SEEN!
UH, TELLY, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD TEACH ME TO BOING?
- YOU WANT ME TO COACH THE GREAT BELA POGOLYI?
- YES.
I WANT TO LEARN TO BOING LIKE YOU.
- WELL, IF YOU REALLY WANT ME TO.
- THERE'S JUST ONE THING YOU SHOULD KNOW.
I've never been a pogo stick before.
- WHAT?!
- WHAT?!
- THAT'S OK, THAT'S OK.
THERE'S NOTHING TO IT.
JUST REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN.
- FUN?
WHAT IS FUN?
