INSIDE THE SECRET LAIR OF THE DIABOLICAL DR. TWO-BRAINS... [EVIL LAUGHTER] SOON I, DR. TWO-BRAINS, WILL KNOW JUST HOW MUCH CHEESE I HAVE TO THE VERY LAST MORSEL.

HA HA HA!

SO TELL ME, HOW MUCH ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

ONE TON?

TWO TONS?

UM...ABOUT... THAT MUCH.

AGH!

NEVER MIND.

I'LL COUNT IT MYSELF.

IT'S NOT THAT HARD, GUYS.

ONE... TWO... THREE... SAY, BOSS, WHY DOES ALL THE CHEESE HAVE LITTLE NUMBERS ON IT?

HMM?

OH, THAT'S JUST THE EXPIRATION DATE.

FOUR, FIVE...

THE EXPIRATION DATE?

YEAH.

IT JUST TELLS YOU WHEN THE CHEESE IS TOO OLD TO EAT.

YOU MEAN AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE, THE CHEESE WON'T BE GOOD ANYMORE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND STOP INTERRUPTING ME.

NOW I'VE GOT TO START OVER.

ONE, TWO...

WAIT.

ISN'T THAT DATE RIGHT THERE TOMORROW?

TOMORROW?

THIS CHEESE EXPIRES TOMORROW?

NO!

[CHEWING LOUDLY] NO!

TOMORROW!

TOMORROW AGAIN!

THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.

SO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

THERE'S ONLY ONE THING I CAN DO.

OH!

YOUR TOTALLY UNTESTED SUPER-POWERFUL TIME-STOPPING RAY?

MY TOTALLY UNTESTED SUPER-POWERFUL TIME-STOPPING RAY!

YOU JUST SAID THAT.

I CAN USE IT TO PAUSE TIME SO TOMORROW NEVER COMES.

AND IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES, MY CHEESE WILL NEVER EXPIRE.

HA HA HA!

BUT IF YOU STOP TIME, WON'T WE STOP, TOO?

HELLO.

PROTECTIVE SPHERE.

THANKS TO THIS, WE'LL BE THE ONLY ONES IN THE ENTIRE WORLD WHO WON'T BE FROZEN IN TIME.

[LOUD WHIRRING] Narrator: WILL DR. TWO-BRAINS REALLY BE ABLE TO STOP TI-- STOP TIME?

HA HA HA!

LOOKS LIKE THE ANSWER IS YES!

AND NOT EVEN WORD GIRL CAN STOP ME NOW.

HYAH!

YAH!

YAH!

[AHEM] HEY, WHERE'S MY INTRODUCTION?

HELLO?

MR. NARRATOR?

HELLO?

HMM.

OH, WELL.

[AHEM] MEANWHILE, THE BRAVE SUPERHERO WORD GIRL AND HER SIDEKICK CAPTAIN HUGGY FACE ARE PROTECTING THE CITY FROM A STORM OF GIANT SPACE ROCKS.

HYAH!

HYAH!

AND WORD GIRL SAVES THE DAY AGAIN.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR OUR HERO TO HEAD HOME, EAT BREAKFAST WITH THE FAMILY, DO HER CHORES, FINISH HER HOMEWORK, AND MAYBE IF THERE'S A MOMENT TO PAUSE, START READING THAT NEW BOOK SHE CHECKED OUT FROM THE LIBRARY.

[SCREECHING] OH, THE WORD "PAUSE"?

OH, PAUSE MEANS TO STOP SOMETHING FOR A WHILE.

FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN PAUSE A VIDEO GAME IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK AND THEN START WHERE YOU LEFT OFF WHEN YOU'RE READY TO PLAY AGAIN.

OR A WEEKEND IS A PAUSE BECAUSE IT'S A BREAK AFTER GOING TO SCHOOL FOR FIVE DAYS.

SORRY I'M LATE.

BOB AND I WERE OUT-- MOM?

DAD?

HA HA.

THAT'S REALLY FUNNY, BUT YOU CAN START MOVING NOW.

REALLY.

ANY TIME.

[SCREECHING] THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG HERE.

COME ON, BOB.

WORD UP!

LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S AS IF THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN PUT ON PAUSE.

BUT WHY AREN'T WE?

[SCREECHING] I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, HUGGY.

BEING IN OUTER SPACE SOMEHOW KEPT US FROM BEING STOPPED IN TIME.

[SCREECHING] PASTRAMI?

HAS WORD GIRL FOUND A MEATY CLUE?

[SCREECHING] SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT.

STOP RIGHT THERE, BUTCHER.

ET TU, BUTCHER?

HA HA HA!

YOU GUYS PICKED THE WRONG TIME TO COMMIT A CRIME.

NOW TO CATCH THE ONLY VILLAIN WHO COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR STOPPING TIME.

IT'S GOT TO BE... DR. TWO-BRAINS!

I KNOW YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAUSING TIME, AND I'M HERE TO STOP YOUR EVIL PLAN.

HEY, WHY AREN'T YOU AND THAT MONKEY CRITTER PAUSED LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE?

BECAUSE TIME NEVER PAUSES FOR JUSTICE, DR. TWO-BRAINS.

[SLURP] AH.

LOOK, WORD GIRL, I KNOW YOU'RE A SUPERHERO AND IT'S YOUR JOB TO TRY AND DEFEAT ME AND ALL OF THAT, BUT WHY NOT TAKE A LOAD OFF FIRST?

WE HAVE NOTHING BUT TIME.

I DON'T THINK SO.

OH, COME ON.

I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE NO LINES AT THE WATER SLIDE.

CAPTAIN HUGGY FACE AND I WILL NOT PAUSE [SPLASH] WHEN WE ARE FIGHTING CR-- HUGGY!

[SCREECHING] YES, I KNOW I PROMISED TO TAKE YOU LAST SUMMER.

BUT MY TWO-FOR-ONE COUPON EXPIRED.

[SCREECHING] OH, THE WORD "EXPIRE" MEANS TO COME TO AN END OR TO FINISH OR RUN OUT.

FOR EXAMPLE, SINCE MY COUPON EXPIRED, THE WATER SLIDE WON'T ACCEPT IT ANYMORE.

AND THERE'S NOTHING SADDER THAN WHEN A GIANT BOWL FULL OF CHEESE EXPIRES, BECAUSE THEN YOU HAVE TO PAUSE TIME IN ORDER TO EAT IT ALL.

IS THAT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?

MAYBE.

WHAT YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND, DR. TWO-BRAINS, IS THAT A SUPERHERO HAS A DUTY TO UPHOLD JUSTICE AND SAVE THE WORLD AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

EVEN WHEN SHE'S BEHIND ON HER CHORES AND HAS A BIG SCIENCE PROJECT DUE THE NEXT DAY, SHE MIGHT LIKE TO PAUSE AND HAVE A CAREFREE DAY OF FUN AND RELAXATION, BUT A SUPERHERO IS NEVER OFF DUTY, AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY!

[SLURPING] MMM.

WELL, I GUESS THIS MEANS IT'S TIME FOR OUR BIG SHOWDOWN.

BUT I'M WARNING YOU, WORD GIRL, IT WON'T BE PRETTY.

DR. TWO-BRAINS, I'LL TAKE YOU ON PRETTY OR UGLY, ANYWHERE, ANYHOW.

OH, REALLY?

HMM.

THIS SEEMS LESS LIKE A BIG SHOWDOWN AND MORE LIKE AN EXCUSE TO GOOF OFF AND BUILD SAND CASTLES.

THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG, WORD GIRL.

THIS COULDN'T BE MORE SERIOUS.

FINE.

NOW IF I CAN JUST GET THIS...

CAREFUL, CAREFUL, CAREFUL, CAREFUL.

DOH!

NEXT TIME YOU MIGHT WANT TO FIRM UP THE BASE TO GIVE IT MORE SUPPORT.

OH.

THANKS.

OK. MAYBE PAUSING TIME WASN'T MY BEST IDEA.

THERE'S NO TV, NO MORE NEW ISSUES OF "DAIRY VILLAINS MONTHLY."

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET GOOD SERVICE.

WATCH.

WAITER.

WAITER!

[SIGHS] ALL IN ALL, NOT MY BEST IDEA, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS MACHINE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO STOP TIME FOREVER.

[SCREECH] FOREVER?

WELL, YOU COULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT EARLIER.

OH, DIDN'T I?

WELL, I'M MENTIONING IT NOW.

COME ON, HUGGY.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY TIME TO WASTE.

WELL, WE DO BUT... YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

WE HAVE TO STOP-- START TIME!

YEAH, I KNOW YOU'RE JUST LEAVING BECAUSE I WON THE SAND CASTLE THING.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I ABANDONED MY RESPONSIBILITIES JUST SO I COULD TAKE A PAUSE FOR MYSELF.

[SCREECHING] THANKS, HUGGY.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

THERE'S A WORLD TO SAVE.

THAT MUST BE IT.

OH, NO!

I CAN FEEL TIME BEGINNING TO FREEZE.

[SCREECHING] I KNOW IT'S TIME FOR SOME NARRATION, BUT I CAN'T.

[SCREECH] FINE.

IS THIS THE END OF WORD GIRL?

WILL TIME BE PAUSED FOREVER?

WILL DR. TWO-BRAINS EVER GET TIRED OF EATING CHEESE THAT'S ABOUT TO EXPIRE?

[SCREECHING] THE RAY'S TOO POWERFUL.

I DON'T THINK...

I CAN MAKE IT.

[CLICK] HIYAH!

[SCREECHING] Narrator: ...IME.

OH, WELL, I GUESS HE DID.

HEY, WHAT DID I MISS?

I'LL FILL YOU IN LATER.

[DOGS BARKING] [MUSIC PLAYING] T.J., LET'S HAVE A SLUMBER PARTY.

OK. Word Girl: IT'S TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC, DR. TWO-BRAINS.

YOUR "GET OUT OF JAIL FREE" CARD HAS EXPIRED.

[BELL DINGS] HEY, WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN?

BOSS, SINCE WE HAD ALL THAT TIME ON OUR HANDS, CHARLIE DECIDED TO FINALLY WRITE HIS NOVEL, AND I DISCOVERED THE JOY OF MOUNTAIN BIKING AND LEARNED HOW TO BAKE.

HMM.

YOU DON'T SAY.

UH-HUH.

AND CHARLIE TAUGHT HIMSELF HOW TO PLAY PIANO AND BECAME AN EXPERT AT YOGA.

WOW.

THAT'S REALLY, UH... SOMETHING.

HOW ABOUT YOU TWO?

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE GREAT THINGS YOU GUYS DID WHILE TIME WAS PAUSED?

Word Girl: UM... OH, YOU KNOW...STUFF.

A LITTLE OF THIS, A LITTLE OF THAT.

TOO MANY THINGS TO LIST REALLY.

OH, YEAH, THAT'S FOR SURE.

OH.

UH, WELL, THAT'S PRETTY COOL.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?

LET'S GET YOU ALL TO JAIL.

[SNORING] AND SO ONCE AGAIN, DR. TWO-BRAINS STOPPED TIME, BUT WORD GIRL STOPPED DR.-- Narrator: HEY, I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.

OOPS.

SORRY.

I GUESS MY TIME AS NARRATOR HAS EXPIRED.

GLAD YOU'RE BACK.

Narrator: FOR FUN AND EXCITEMENT THAT WILL NEVER EXPIRE, BE SURE TO TUNE IN FOR THE NEXT THRILLING ADVENTURE OF...

DRAMATIC PAUSE... WORD GIRL!

♪ WORD GIRL ♪ HELLO.

I'M BEAU HANDSOME, AND THIS IS... "MAY I HAVE A WORD?"

AS USUAL, THE PLAYER WHO CORRECTLY DEFINES TODAY'S FEATURED WORD WILL WIN A FABULOUS PRIZE.

LET'S PLAY... "MAY I HAVE A WORD?"

YES, YOU MAY.

TODAY'S FEATURED WORD IS "IRRITABLE."

TO GIVE YOU A CLUE, HERE ARE SOME CLIPS FROM "WORD GIRL" THAT SHOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD.

[DING] TOMMY.

IRRITABLE MEANS EASILY ANNOYED.

LIKE, IN THAT LAST CLIP, BECKY IS IRRITATED MAYBE BECAUSE BOB'S BREAKFAST IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN HERS, JUST LIKE PHIL'S BUZZER IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN MINE.

IT...IS?

THEY'RE THE EXACT SAME SIZE.

SURE THEY ARE.

RIGHT.

ANYWAY, TOMMY, YOU ARE TODAY'S... ODDLY UNHAPPY WINNER.

HUGGY, SHOW HIM WHAT HE'S WON.

[APPLAUSE] AN OFFICIAL WORD GIRL SUPER COMPUTER!

Audience: OOH!

DON'T NEED IT.

MY BRAIN IS A SUPER COMPUTER.

WOW.

TOMMY, THANKS FOR DEMONSTRATING WHAT AN IRRITATING RESPONSE WOULD SOUND LIKE.

THAT'S IT FOR TODAY'S EPISODE.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON... "MAY I HAVE A WORD?"

♪ WORD GIRL ♪ Narrator: LISTEN FOR THE WORDS "PERMANENT" AND "EXCHANGE."

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY DOWNTOWN, WHERE THE MAYOR IS DEDICATING THE CITY'S NEW ELEVATED SUBWAY TRACKS.

Mayor: NOW, AS THE SUBWAY CAR MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH OUR FAIR CITY, IT WILL BE POWERING UP THIS BRILLIANTLY DESIGNED CHEESE RAY!

HA HA HA HA!

I MEAN...[AHEM] I'M THE MAYOR.

HOWDY, MR. MAYOR.

WINK.

ONCE FULLY CHARGED, THE RAY WILL BEGIN FIRING, PERMANENTLY TURNING THIS ENTIRE CITY INTO CHEESETROPOLIS!

WHICH, AS YOUR MAYOR, I DECLARE TO BE PERFECTLY OK!

DR. TWO-BRAINS.

OH, YES.

I SEE YOU'VE CAPTURED OUR CITY'S SMARTEST AND MOST HANDSOME VILLAIN.

GOOD JOB.

NOW FLY ALONG.

WE'RE ONTO YOU, DR. TWO-BRAINS.

WE KNOW YOU USED THIS MIND-EXCHANGE RAY TO SWITCH BODIES WITH THE MAYOR.

[ONLOOKERS GASP] [MAYOR'S VOICE] I CAN CONFIRM THAT HAPPENED.

DR. TWO-BRAINS, YOU REALLY NEED TO GET CONTROL OF THAT LITTLE MOUSE BRAIN.

OH, YOU THINK IT'S EASY HAVING A MOUSE BRAIN PERMANENTLY ATTACHED TO THE SIDE OF YOUR HEAD?

A LOT EASIER THAN BEING A SUPERHERO.

I HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU, THE ENERGY MONSTER IS ON THE LOOSE.

SO GO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO STOP EVERY SINGLE CRIME.

OH, AND I'M JUST GONNA LET YOU TURN THE CITY INTO CHEESE?

IT'S ONE CITY!

WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH?

UH...ANY WAY YOU TWO COULD SPEED THIS UP?

DR. TWO-BRAINS HASN'T HAD LUNCH, AND I'M DYING FOR SOME CHEESE!

HUH?

RIGHT.

SORRY.

HOLD STILL, MR.

MAYOR...BRAINS.

NOT A CHANCE, WORD GIRL.

I AM OUT OF HERE.

[PANTING] OH, HE'S OUT OF SHAPE.

[LOUD WHIRRING] HUH?

WHERE AM I?

WHOA!

HMM.

THIS ONE WRAPPED UP EARLY.

[SCREECHING] GOOD IDEA, HUGGY.

I'LL DESTROY THIS MIND-EXCHANGE RAY SO NOTHING LIKE THIS COULD EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

[LOUD WHIRRING] [DR. TWO-BRAINS' VOICE] UH...WHA... WHA... HEY, WHY IS EVERYBODY SO TALL?

[WORD GIRL'S VOICE] UH, WHAT HAPPENED?

BEATS ME.

I SEE A TIED-UP VILLAIN, THEY'RE GOING IN THE WAGON.

WHAT?

VILLAIN?

NO, NO, NO, NO!

WAIT!

I'M NOT DR. TWO-BRAINS!

I'M WORD-- [SIREN] Narrator: MEANWHILE, AT WORD GIRL'S SUPER-SECRET SPACESHIP HIDEOUT... [SCREECHING] [DR. TWO-BRAINS' VOICE] HUH?

HOW DID I GET... STAY AWAY FROM ME, MONKEY!

HEY, WHAT'S WRONG?

WHY AREN'T YOU SHRIEKING AND JUMPING ON MY HEAD?

OOH!

WORD GIRL AND I WERE HIT BY THE MIND- EXCHANGE RAY.

[SCREECH] WE'VE EXCHANGED MINDS!

I HAVE ALL OF WORD GIRL'S POWERS!

NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO STAND IN MY WAY.

[SCREECHING] YOU?

GOOD LUCK.

NOW I'LL BE ABLE TO PERMANENTLY TURN THE WHOLE CITY INTO CHEESE!

OW!

HELP!

MY CAT'S OUT ON THE POLE.

[VOICES SHOUTING IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES] [INSECT BUZZING LOUDLY] HELP!

THE ENERGY MONSTER IS ATTACKING THE CHEDDAR RESERVE!

WHO WILL SAVE THE CHEESE?

A MAD SCIENTIST TRAPPED IN THE BODY OF A LITTLE FLYING ALIEN GIRL, THAT'S WHO.

COME ON, CAPTAIN HUGGY FACE.

CURDS, CURDS, AND AWAY!

Narrator: MEANWHILE, AT THE CITY PRISON... [WORD GIRL'S VOICE] DR. TWO-BRAINS IS PROBABLY OUT THERE RIGHT NOW RUNNING AMUCK, CAUSING PERMANENT DAMAGE TO MY REPUTATION.

Reporter: THIS IS LORETTA SANCHEZ JOHNSON REPORTING LIVE FROM THE CHEDDAR RESERVE.

AAH!

OW!

LUCKILY, WORD GIRL HAS JUST...

ARRIVED ON THE SCENE.

WE'RE GOOD.

[WHINES] OH, WELL, IT WAS WORTH A SHOT, BOSS.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

I REALLY AM WORD GIRL.

HA HA HA.

GOTCHA, BOSS.

STICK TO THE PLAN.

LOOK.

IT'S WORD GIRL'S MONKEY FACE.

WHEW.

THAT BOY CAN MOVE.

ALL RIGHT.

WELL, IF DR. TWO-BRAINS CAN BREAK OUT OF HERE, THEN I SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM!

[STAMMERING] A PUSH-UP WOULDN'T KILL YOU, TWO-BRAINS.

HEY, COULD YOU--WHOA!

THIS IS-- WHOA!

STOP IT!

CAN WE TAKE A LITTLE BREAK BECAUSE I'M--OW!

MAN, HOW DOES WORD GIRL KEEP THIS UP?

LOOK OUT!

[ROARING] OH, HOW ABOUT THIS?

MONKEY TALK!

[SCREECH] OH, SORRY.

SORRY.

[ROARING] [ENERGY MONSTER SCREAMING] HA HA!

DAY SAVED.

HEY, I THINK I'M GETTING THE HANG OF THIS.

WORD GIRL, AS A TOKEN OF OUR GRATITUDE, PLEASE HELP YOURSELF TO ANYTHING IN OUR VAULT.

I'LL BE HELPING MYSELF TO EVERYTHING IN YOUR VAULT, AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME.

[EVIL LAUGHTER] TOLD YOU.

HYAH!

HA HA HA HA!

HMM...YOU KNOW, WITHOUT THE MOUSE BRAIN, I'M JUST NOT FEELING THE WHOLE STEALING-CHEESE THING.

IN FACT, SAVING THE DAY ACTUALLY FELT KIND OF NICE.

I CAN SEE WHY WORD GIRL-- [LOUD FOOTSTEPS] UH-OH.

CURDS AND AWAY!

WHOO!

LOOKING GOOD OUT THERE, WORD GIRL.

ALL RIGHT, HENCHMEN, LISTEN UP.

I DON'T PLAN ON BEING A PERMANENT GUEST OF THIS PRISON SO HERE'S THE PLAN.

HEY, SINCE YOU'RE WORD GIRL, CAN YOU TELL US WHAT PERMANENT MEANS?

PERMANENT MEANS SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T CHANGE OR EVERLASTING.

IF WE BECAME THIS PRISON'S PERMANENT GUESTS, IT WOULD MEAN WE'D BE HERE FOREVER, AND IF I DON'T GET OUT AND FIND DR. TWO-BRAINS SO WE CAN SWITCH BACK, I'LL BE STUCK LIKE THIS PERMANENTLY.

NOW, AS I WAS SAYING... [SNIFFING] HMM.

WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE AND... GET THAT SANDWICH.

SWEET, SWEET MELTED CHEESE!

UH...OK.

CHEESE.

SORRY!

OK.

UH... FOCUS.

SEE THAT KEY ON THE WARDEN'S BELT?

GET HIM TO COME OVER, AND WHEN HE DOES, REACH DOWN AND GRAB HIS SANDWICH.

NO!

I MEAN KEY!

BOSS, I...I'M LOST.

OK. OK. FOCUS UP.

I JUST NEED TO FIND A WAY OUT OF HERE, GET MY HANDS ON A MIND-EXCHANGE RAY, AND THEN GET SOME CHEESE!

MMM MMM MMM MMM!

YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN THIS ONE, AMAZING ROPE GUY?

WELL, YOU'RE NOT.

K-N-O-T, KNOT.

I KNOW.

THAT STUNK.

OOH, WHAT A DAY, HUH, PARTNER?

[SCREECHING] WORD GIRL, YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN.

GREAT.

JUST THROW IT ON THE KEY PILE.

SURE THING.

HEY, DO YOU HAVE A COLD?

YOU SOUND LIKE A MIDDLE-AGED MAN.

UH...I DON'T KNOW.

WORD GIRL, ANY ADVICE FOR THE KIDS AT HOME?

FLOSS?

YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT THIS CHEESE YOU SAID YOU WANTED?

BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO THROW IT OUT.

[SIGHS] MAN, THIS SUPERHERO GIG IS A GRIND.

I'VE BARELY HAD ENOUGH TIME TO BUILD A NEW MIND-EXCHANGE RAY.

I CAN'T STAY LIKE THIS PERMANENTLY.

IT JUST WOULDN'T BE RIGHT.

PLUS, IT'S WAY HARDER THAN IT LOOKS.

HA HA HA HA!

OH, IT NEVER ENDS.

NOT SO FAST, DR. WORD GIRL BRAINS!

TWO-BRAINS GIRL!

HA HA HA!

YOU'RE TOO LATE!

THIS IS GOING TO BECOME A PERMANENT CHEESY PARADISE!

YAH!

[SCREECHING] THIS IS ALL WRONG, WORD GIRL.

WE HAVE TO EXCHANGE MINDS AGAIN, PLEASE.

IS THIS WHAT I'M LIKE?

I'M NOT SO SURE I WANT TO CHANGE BACK.

I'M VERY NAGGY NAGGY.

WORD GIRL, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A HERO?

AH.

ALL THAT MATTERS IS CHEESE!

THE MOUSE BRAIN!

DON'T LISTEN TO IT!

IT'S NOT SO EASY.

YOU HAVE TO STOP!

I CAN'T BE STOPPED.

THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD STOP ME IS... ME!

NO!

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, ME?

YOU DID IT, WORD GIRL!

YOU OVERCAME THE-- HURRY UP AND STOP THE RAY!

DON'T LISTEN TO ME!

STAY HERE!

DON'T LISTEN TO ME!

JUST GO!

[SCREECHING] [GROANING] HENCHMEN, STOP THIS TRAIN RIGHT NOW!

SHEESH!

WHEN DID SHE GET SO PUSHY?

WHEN SHE WAS HIT WITH THE MIND-EXCHANGE RAY.

EXCHANGE?

YES.

TO EXCHANGE MEANS TO TRADE ONE THING FOR ANOTHER, TO SWAP.

IN THIS CASE, WORD GIRL AND I, DR. TWO-BRAINS, EXCHANGED MINDS WHEN WE WERE HIT WITH THE RAY!

GET OUT OF TOWN.

[CREAKING] SHE'S REALLY ON HER GAME TODAY.

I KNEW YOU'D FIND A WAY TO DO RIGHT, WORD GIRL, EVEN WHILE YOU WERE DOING WRONG.

BUT NOW WE'RE PERMANENTLY STUCK LIKE THIS.

UH-UH.

I'VE JUST BUILD A NEW MIND-EXCHANGE RAY, THANKS TO MY SUPER SPEED.

I KNOW, RIGHT?

IT'S A REAL TIMESAVER.

UH... OH...HEY, I THINK IT WORKED.

I ONLY HAVE ONE BRAIN AGAIN!

HEY, I DID IT!

I WON!

GREAT JOB, DR. TWO-BRAINS.

THANKS.

NOW TO FIGURE A WAY OUT OF HERE AND GET SOME CHEESE.

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE CHEDDAR ON THE HOUSE?

OOH, THANKS.

Policeman: HEY, A BUNCH OF TIED-UP VILLAINS.

JACKPOT!

Narrator: AND ONCE AGAIN, EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL.

BUT NOT BEFORE WORD GIRL AND DR. TWO-BRAINS GOT TO EXCHANGE A LITTLE PIECE OF THEIR MINDS WITH ONE ANOTHER.
