AH.

JUST ANOTHER CAREFREE SPRING DAY AT THE LOCAL PARK.

WHOA.

HEH...WINDY.

GEE.

I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA FLY AWAY WITH THE KITE.

VIOLET, I THINK YOU'RE EXAGGERATING.

IT'S NOT THAT WINDY.

UHH.

MAYBE IT IS.

OOH!

YOUR KITE IS BEAUTIFUL!

CAN I FLY IT?

SURE!

THANK YOU!

MY NAME IS EILEEN, AND TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!

I'M 10 YEARS OLD!

OK...WELL, HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

I'M VIOLET AND THIS IS BECKY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

LOOK AT MY NECKLACE!

MY MOMMY GAVE IT TO ME.

WOW, IT'S LATE.

I HAVE TO GET GOING.

MAY I HAVE MY KITE BACK, PLEASE?

NO.

WHAT?

YEAH, WHAT?

IT'S MY KITE NOW.

YOU GAVE IT TO ME... FOR MY BIRTHDAY.

WELL, ACTUALLY... PWEASE CAN I HAVE IT?

PWETTY PWEASE?

PLEASE...IT'S PRETTY PLEASE.

SURE.

KEEP IT.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

GEE, THANKS!

YOU'RE THE BESTEST FRIEND EVER!

BUT VIOLET, THAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KITE.

I KNOW.

BUT IT'S HER BIRTHDAY.

OK. AWFULLY GENEROUS.

OOH!

WHAT A PWETTY CHARM BWACELET!

CAN I HAVE THAT, TOO?

UM, NO?

BUT I ALWAYS GET WHAT I WANT!

AND I WANT THAT!

MINE, MINE, MINE!

DID SHE--?

UHHH...

I WANT THAT BRACE-- [GASP] MONKEY!

OOH, WITTLE MONKEY.

YOU'RE SO PWECIOUS-WECIOUS.

CAN I HOLD YOU?

MAYBE SOME OTHER TIME.

WE HAVE TO-- BUT I WANT HIM!

BESIDES, IT'S MY-- BIRTHDAY.

YEAH, I REMEMBER.

FORGET IT!

I SAID I WANT HIM.

AND I SAID TOO BAD!

Violet: GIVE IT UP, EILEEN.

BECKY SAYS YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM SO YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM!

NOW BACK OFF!

VIOLET, I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU LIKE THIS BEFORE.

WELL, IT'S OK FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE MY STUFF, BUT NOBODY, NOBODY MESSES WITH MY FRIENDS!

OH, YEAH?!

WELL, I SAY THAT MONKEY IS MINE!

MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE!

HEY!

COME BACK HERE!

BOB!

WORD U--OH!

WHAT DO WE DO!

SHE'S GETTING AWAY!

UM, RIGHT.

LET'S SPLIT UP.

WE CAN COVER MORE GROUND THAT WAY.

OK.

I'M COMING, BOB... WORD UP!

Eileen: WHO WANTS COOKIES?

FRESH OUT OF THE OVEN!

AHH.

SO, WHAT SHOULD WE PLAY FIRST?

I KNOW!

LET'S PLAY TEA PARTY!

IT'S SO NICE TO HAVE A REAL GUEST AT MY TEA PARTY!

THE BEAR FAMILY AND MISTER MOO COW AREN'T GREAT CONVERSATIONALISTS.

HERE.

YOU CAN WEAR THIS!

I'LL GET YOU SOME MORE COOKIES.

BE RIGHT BACK!

Eileen: GUESS WHAT?

I FOUND SOME WITH GOOEY CHOCOLATE CHUNK GOODNESS!

HOORAY!

TEA PARTY!

Narrator: MEANWHILE, AT YE OLDE FANCY SCHMANCY JEWELRY SHOPPE... REGINALD, YOU ARE SO HANDSOME.

OH, DEAR!

WHAT IS THIS?

SOME SORT OF GROWTH.

EXCUSE ME.

I'M LOOKING FOR A 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL NAMED EILEEN.

SHE'S AS BIG AS A HOUSE AND IS WEARING A... OH, PLEASE, SILLY PINK-STOCKINGED CHILD.

STOP EXAGGERATING.

I JUST SAW HER YESTERDAY.

BUT I'M NOT EXAGGERATING!

SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HER AND SHE JUST KEPT GROWING AND GROWING!

OH, GREAT...ANOTHER ONE.

WORDGIRL!

HOW'D YOU KNOW I WAS HERE?

SUPER HEARING... AND WE HAVE TO KEEP THE STORY MOVING.

OH.

ANY LUCK?

NO!

I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE CITY.

THERE'S NO TRACE OF THEM.

UH!

HOW CAN THAT BE?

SHE'S AS TALL AS A HOUSE!

A BIG, GREEN HOUSE.

OK!

THAT'S ENOUGH WILD EXAGGERATIONS!

IT'S NOT AN EXAGGERATION.

AN EXAGGERATION MEANS TO STRETCH THE TRUTH.

LIKE SAYING THAT YOU'RE THE RUDEST PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

THAT'S AN EXAGGERATION.

I MEAN, YOU'RE RUDE, REALLY, REALLY RUDE, BUT I'M SURE THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD THERE'S SOMEONE WHO'S MORE RUDE...THAN...YOU.

OR TAKE THAT HOBOKEN DIAMOND.

TO SAY IT'S AS BIG AS AN ELEPHANT IS AN EXAGGERATION.

IT'S A BIG DIAMOND, BUT IT'S NOT AS BIG AS AN ELEPHANT.

SO WE'RE NOT EXAGGERATING WHEN WE SAY THIS 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL IS REALLY, REALLY BIG.

YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THERE'S A HOUSE-SIZED 10-YEAR-OLD RUNNING AROUND THE CITY?

WELL, YEAH.

HA!

I'M SURE THEY APPRECIATE YOUR "IMAGINATION" AT SCHOOL, BUT THIS IS A JEWELRY STORE.

IF YOU TWO ARE NOT GOING TO BUY ANYTHING, THEN I WOULD PLEASE ASK YOU TO SCRAM.

FINE!

WE HAVE WORK TO DO ANYWAY!

COME ON, WORDGIRL!

OH, OK.

I GUESS WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER.

LOOK, I GOT A GOLD STAR ON THIS SCHOOL PAPER!

I JUST LOVE GOLD STARS!

GOLD STARS!

GOLD STARS!

GOLD STARS!

[LAUGHS] MORE TEA?

[SQUEAKS] OH, I AM SO SOWWY, BOBBY-WOBBY!

COME ON, LET'S GO GET YOU A BWAND-NEW ONE!

[SQUEAKS] UPSY DAISY!

WOW, IT'S SO BLUE UP HERE!

AH, YEAH.

BLUE.

WORDGIRL, I NEVER KNEW FIGHTING CRIME TOOK SO LONG.

YOU'RE REALLY GENEROUS WITH YOUR TIME.

UH, HEE...YEAH...HEE.

LOOK!

DOWN THERE!

A TRAIL OF GIANT FOOTPRINTS!

Wordgirl: LET'S FOLLOW IT!

THEY MUST HAVE LEFT A WHILE AGO.

THIS TEA HAS BEEN COLD FOR 32 MINUTES AND 16 SECONDS.

AND LOOK.

THIS DRESS IS MUCH TOO SMALL TO BE EILEEN'S.

IT WOULDN'T EVEN FIT ON HER HAND!

EXAGGERATING A BIT?

MAYBE A BIT.

AHA!

MONKEY HAIRS!

BOB MUST HAVE BEEN WEARING IT!

THAT LOOKS LIKE A TEA STAIN.

AND IT'S STILL FRESH.

HEY, MAYBE THEY WENT OUT TO GET A NEW DRESS FOR BOB.

GOOD THINKING, VIOLET!

HMM.

DEBBIE'S DARLING DRESSES.

BECKY AND I LOVE THAT STORE!

I KNOW!

I MEAN, OH, REALLY?

WOW.

COME ON.

BACK TO THE CITY!

Narrator: MEANWHILE, BOB IS PUTTING UP A HEROIC FIGHT FOR HIS LAST SHRED OF DIGNITY.

[GRUMBLES] Narrator: SORRY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO THANK ME.

I KNOW I'M GENEROUS.

MY MOMMY SAID SO!

PUT IT ON.

I SAID, PUT IT ON!

I ALWAYS GET MY WAY!

MINE!

MINE!

MINE!

OOH, YOU WOOK SO PWETTY!

Narrator: IT'S A NICE COLOR ON YOU.

[GROANS] Narrator: [CLEARS THROAT] RIGHT.

MOVING ON.

A FEW MINUTES LATER...

I'M SO HAPPY WE GOT THE NEW DWESS, BOBBY-WOBBY.

NOW WE CAN GO BACK TO OUR--TEA-- [GASP] THE BIGGEST GOLD STAR I'VE EVER SEEN!

IT'S BEAUTIFUL!

AND IT'S GOING TO BE MINE!

MINE!

MINE!

MINE!

MINE!

[PEOPLE SCREAMING, CAR ALARM BLARING] LOOK!

IT'S BOB!

AND EILEEN!

Wordgirl: WOW!

YOU DISTRACT EILEEN WHILE I ZOOM IN TO RESCUE BOB!

OK. [SQUEAKING] WAIT.

THE APE SHOULD BE HOLDING THE GIRL, CORRECT?

YOOHOO!

BIRTHDAY GIRL!

OVER HERE!

UMM...HEY, EILEEN!

HOW'D YOU LIKE MY CHARM BRACELET, HUH?

I HAVE IT RIGHT HERE!

GOLD STAR MINE!

GOLD STAR MINE!

OH, BOY.

Wordgirl: ALMOST... GOT...YOU...BOB!

AAAA!

OH, NO!

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

WAIT!

EILEEN, ONE OF MY...UH...

BESTEST FRIENDS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!?

VIOLET?

I'M ONE OF YOUR BESTEST FRIENDS?!

WEALLY?

OF COURSE YOU ARE!

GUYS, YOU'RE KILLING ME HERE.

WOW.

I NEVER HAD A BESTEST FRIEND BEFORE.

WHAT DO THEY DO?

WELL...UM, THEY, UM, PWAY TOGEWER, AND GIVE EACH OWTHER PREWENTS-- OOH, OOH!

I WANT TO GIVE YOU A PRESENT!

HERE!

TAKE MY FAVORITE-WAVORITE NECKALACE!

THANK YOU!

[THUD] WHOAAAAA!

I GUESSED RIGHT!

BEING GREEDY MADE EILEEN GET BIGGER, SO I FIGURED THAT IF SHE WAS GENEROUS... SHE'D SHRINK!

OF COURSE!

GENEROUS MEANS TO BE VERY GIVING, WHICH IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF GREEDY.

GREAT JOB, VIOLET!

OH, IF ONLY BECKY WERE HERE TO SEE THIS!

SHE'LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT I WENT THROUGH.

OH, I HAVE A FEELING SHE WILL.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I JUST MEAN...SHE'LL... SHE'S UNDERSTANDING.

ANYWAY, I BETTER GO.

UH, IT WAS GREAT TEAMING UP WITH YOU, VIOLET.

SAME HERE, WORDGIRL.

SAME HERE.

ARRIVEDERCI!

WORD UP!

BECKY!

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME?

OH, YOU KNOW.

AROUND.

TOWN.

OOO!

GUESS WHAT?

WORDGIRL AND I TEAMED UP TO RESCUE BOB!

NOOOO!

YES!

BOB.

NICE DRESS.

WELL, EILEEN, I HOPE YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON!

YOU CAN'T JUST RUN AROUND TAKING PEOPLE'S MONKEYS... OR ANY OF THEIR OTHER STUFF.

YEAH, I WERNED MY WESSON.

NO...YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON.

L...L. [YAWNS] WHOO!

I HAVE TO GO HOME NOW AND GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.

TOMORROW'S MY BIRTHDAY, YOU KNOW!

I THOUGHT TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY.

IT IS!

AND SO IS TOMORROW!

MY MOMMY SAYS EVERY DAY IS MY BIRTHDAY.

BYE-BYE!

Narrator: ANYWAY, JOIN US AGAIN NEXT TIME FOR ANOTHER GENEROUS HELPING OF ACTION ON ANOTHER EXCITING EPISODE OF "WORDGIRL"!

♪ WORDGIRL ♪ ♪ WORDGIRL ♪ Narrator: PSSST.

LISTEN FOR "INVESTIGATE" AND "ACCELERATE."

JUST ANOTHER TYPICAL EVENING IN A SERENE SUBURBAN SETTING.

C'MON, SALLY.

WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!

BOY, THIS CAT ART EXHIBIT IS GOING TO BE A HOOT!

CAT ART EXHIBIT?

THAT'S A LOT OF PICTURES OF CATS.

DON'T BE SILLY!

THEY'RE NOT PAINTINGS OF CATS.

THEY'RE PAINTINGS BY CATS.

NOW, TJ, I WANT YOU TO BEHAVE FOR THE BABY-SITTER THIS TIME.

PROMISE?

OK, OK, I PROMISE.

HMPF.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH I'M MISSING THE SOLID GOLD MAZ-O-RACER SPORTS CAR WITH EJECTOR SEATS!

THE CAR'S GONNA BE TEARING UP THE STREETS!

Dad: THE MAZ-O-RACER?

THAT'S TONIGHT?!

OH, MAN, I WANT TO GO!

THEY SAY THAT BABY CAN ACCELERATE FROM ZERO TO 100 IN 5 SECONDS!

HONEY...CAT ART.

RIGHT.

HA HA.

I'M EXCITED FOR THAT, TOO.

[DOORBELL RINGS] OH!

THAT MUST BE THE SITTER!

HELLO, EVERYONE.

I'M GRANNY MAY.

COME IN!

COME IN.

OH, WHAT ADORABLE LITTLE CHILDREN!

WHY IS THE DASTARDLY CROOK GRANNY MAY HERE TO BABY-SIT US?

NOW, LET ME GO OVER A FEW THINGS WITH YOU.

OUR CELL PHONE...

SO, DAD, WHICH PRISON YARD DID YOU RECRUIT GRANNY MAY FROM?

I DON'T THINK WE GOT HER FROM PRISON.

DID WE?

NOPE!

WE FOUND HER THROUGH THE SENIOR CENTER.

DID YOU INVESTIGATE HER BACKGROUND?

YOU KNOW, CHECK HER RAP SHEET-- I MEAN, REFERENCES?

OF COURSE WE DID, HONEY.

SAYS HERE SHE'S WORKED FOR HUNDREDS OF UPSTANDING FAMILIES.

LET'S SEE, ABE AND MARY LINCOLN, THE LEONARDO DA VINCIS, THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND... AND DID YOU CALL ANY OF THESE REFERENCES?

HONEY, I CAN'T JUST CALL THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND!

OK. TIME TO GO.

HAVE FUN, KIDS, AND REMEMBER TO OBEY GRANNY MAY!

BUT-- BUH-BYE!

BUH-BYE, KIDS.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT!

I'M DRIVING.

OH, WELL.

YES, YOU ARE.

[BOTH LAUGHING] I'M A GOOD DRIVER.

I HOPE WE DON'T GET INTO A "CAT"ASTROPHE.

[LAUGHING] SEE, WE'RE AT THE CAT ART EXHIBIT.

I WANT TO DRIVE.

WHY, AREN'T YOU 3 PRECIOUS!

PRECIOUS LIKE A RARE JEWEL?

THAT SOMEONE MIGHT STEAL?

FIGHT SEALS?

[GIGGLING] I WOULD NEVER FIGHT SEALS!

THEY'RE SO CUTE AND CUDDLY.

WELL, IT WAS NICE TALKING TO YOU.

TIME FOR BED!

BUT IT'S ONLY 5:30!

DON'T FORGET WHAT YOUR MOTHER SAID.

OBEY GRANNY MAY.

SHE'S UP TO SOMETHING NO-GOOD, AND WITH A LITTLE INVESTIGATION, I'LL FIND OUT WHAT.

[BOB SQUEAKS] [GRANNY MAY LAUGHS] I LOVE BABY-SITTING.

IT MAKES THE BEST ALIBI, AND YOU GET PAID FOR IT.

[LAUGHS] NOW THAT THE CHILDREN ARE ASLEEP, I CAN FINALLY STEAL THAT PRECIOUS GOLD MAZ-O-RACER.

AAH!

YOU STARTLED POOR, SWEET GRANNY MAY.

SORRY.

WHAT WERE YOU SAYING ABOUT THE MAZ-O-RACER?

I DON'T HAVE AN ERASER ON ME, BUT I THINK I SAW ONE IN YOUR BEDROOM--C'MON!

NO, THE MAZ-O-RACER.

YOU KNOW, THE SOLID GOLD RACE CAR THAT'S SUPPOSED TO ACCELERATE FROM ZERO TO 100 IN 5 SECONDS?

SPEAKING OF ACCELERATE, WHY DON'T YOU ACCELERATE YOURSELF BACK UP TO YOUR ROOM?

OOH, MY, YOU'RE A STRONG, LITTLE GIRL, AREN'T YOU?

IF ONE OF THESE CHILDREN LEAVES THEIR ROOMS, I'M GOING TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

[LAUGHING, COUGHING] I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!

SHE'S GONNA STEAL THE MAZ-O-RACER!

WE JUST HAVE TO DO A LITTLE INVESTIGATION TO FIND OUT WHEN AND HOW.

C'MON, SHE'S LEAVING!

WORD-- [KNOCKING] [SIGHS] WHAT IS IT?

BECKY, IT'S ME.

I'M BORED.

LET'S PLAY A GAME.

UM, SURE.

OK. WE'LL PLAY THE QUIET GAME.

THE QUIET GAME?

THE FIRST ONE TO TALK LOSES.

YEAH, BUT I DON'T WANT-- STARTING NOW!

[WHISPERS] Word up!

Narrator: MEANWHILE, IN ANOTHER PART OF TOWN, THE MAZ-O-RACER IS RACING DOWN THE STREETS AT BREAKNECK SPEED-- THAT IS, BREAKNECK SPEED FOR A SNAIL.

[SNICKERING] THIS CAR HAS NO ACCELERATION!

ALL THIS GOLD IS WEIGHING IT DOWN.

Narrator: UMM... DID YOU CHECK TO SEE IF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON?

[LAUGHING] OF COURSE I-- OH.

WHOOPS.

ALL RIGHT!

THAT ACCELERATION REALLY KICKS IN.

NOW TO--WHOA!

HELLO, YOUNG MAN.

WHAT A FLASHY GOLD CAR YOU'VE GOT THERE.

HERE, LET ME WALK YOU ACROSS THE STREET.

WHY, THANK YOU.

HEY!

WHY WALK WHEN YOU CAN DRIVE?

[LAUGHS] STOP RIGHT THERE, GRANNY MAY!

WHITE HAIR?

ACTUALLY, MINE IS MORE GRAY.

QUIT PRETENDING YOU'RE DEAF!

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR HEARING!

WHAT?

I LOST MY EARRING?

WHERE?

HIYA!

HA!

AND NOW TO DELIVER MY-- Both: UM, ER, A--GOTTA GO!

HEY, LADY!

DON'T GO RUNNING OFF WITHOUT YOUR WALKER!

[BEEPING] TJ!

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

HA!

YOU LOSE!

YOU TALKED FIRST!

HA HA!

YEAH!

WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING OUT OF YOUR ROOMS?

I WANT WATER.

WITH ICE.

FINE.

GRANNY MAY WILL GET IT FOR YOU.

WHOA--SHE STARTED SLOW, THEN TOOK OFF.

YEAH.

SHE CAN REALLY ACCELERATE.

AND SHE IS FAST, TOO.

TJ, THAT'S WHAT "ACCELERATE" MEANS.

TO GAIN SPEED.

YOU KNOW, GET FASTER AND FASTER.

WHY, AREN'T YOU A BRIGHT, LITTLE THING.

YOU'RE GOING TO WEAR YOURSELF OUT WITH ALL THAT TALK.

SO GET BACK IN BED!

GO, GO, GO!

THIS HIGH-TECH, VOICE-ACTIVATED SOUND MACHINE SHOULD CONVINCE TJ I'M STILL IN MY ROOM.

[SQUEAKS] THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

THAT DUMMY DOES NOT MAKE YOU LOOK FAT.

THERE SHE GOES AGAIN!

WORD-- TJ: BECKY, I'M BORED.

OK, WELL, THEN, TELL ME A STORY.

A LONG STORY.

REALLY?

YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO HEAR ONE OF MY STORIES?

YES--I MEAN, YES.

UM, OK. ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS THIS SUPERHERO NAMED WORDGIRL.

Becky's voice: UH-HUH.

YEAH.

GO ON.

AND SHE HAD A REALLY BIG SECRET... [WHISPER] Word up!

Becky's voice: UH-HUH.

YEAH.

GO ON.

SHE WANTED THIS REALLY AWESOME KID NAMED TJ TO BE HER CRIME-FIGHTING PARTNER, BUT SHE WAS AFRAID HE'D SAY "NO."

Narrator: MEANWHILE... [SIREN WAILING] WHOA.

THAT IS ONE SPEEDY BICYCLE.

EXCUSE ME, YOUNG MAN, BUT YOU WERE SPEEDING.

OH, NO, I WASN'T.

I BARELY HAD A CHANCE TO ACCELERATE AWAY FROM THAT STOP LIGHT.

UH.

WELL, THEN, YOU WEREN'T WEARING YOUR SEAT BELT.

OH, YES, I WAS.

SEE?

IT'S STILL ON.

YOU WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN?

THERE WEREN'T ANY STOP SIGNS.

HEADLIGHT OUT?

NO.

TAIL LIGHT OUT?

TRY AGAIN.

AHA!

YOUR PASSENGER-SIDE WINDOW IS NOT ROLLED UP ALL THE WAY!

AH, YOU GOT ME THERE.

THAT WAS QUITE AN INVESTIGATION.

YOU ARE REALLY GIVING ME THE THIRD DEGREE.

WELL, JUST DOING MY JOB.

COULD YOU PLEASE STEP OUT OF YOUR CAR, SIR?

HEY, WHY ARE YOU TAKING OUT YOUR WALLET?

OH, TO SHOW YOU PICTURES OF MY GRANDBABIES.

NOW, HERE'S MY GRANDSON MILTON, AND MY GRANDSON EUGENE, AND WELL, I'LL LET YOU LOOK FOR YOURSELF!

BOOP!

OH!

WORD GIRL!

I MEAN, WOO... WHAT A CUTE, LITTLE OUTFIT!

HAVE I TOLD YOU I HAVE A GRANDBABY ABOUT YOUR AGE?

OH, YEAH?

AND WOULD YOU LEAVE HER AT HOME WITHOUT A SITTER?

I MEAN, DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT!

OH, THANK YOU.

THAT'S A GOOD DOG.

MMMM.

THE JIG IS UP, GRANNY MAY!

[BEEPING] OOOH!

OOO.

THERE'S MY REMINDER TO TAKE MY LIFE-SAVING MEDICINE.

COULD YOU PLEASE UNTIE ME SO I CAN TAKE MY SUGAR PILLS?

[COUGHING] NICE TRY!

SNAP!

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

SOMETHING'S COME UP THAT I, ER, HAVE TO INVESTIGATE.

WORD UP!

[BEEPING] TJ, WHERE ARE YOU GOING NOW?

I JUST TOLD YOU!

I FINISHED MY STORY AND I'M GOING TO GET A GLASS OF CHOCOLATE MILK.

I HOPE GRANNY MAY WON'T BE UPSET.

TRUST ME.

SHE'S GOT A LOT MORE TO BE UPSET ABOUT THAN-- HEY!

HOW'D YOU GET AWAY FROM THE, UHH...COUCH!

I MEAN, THE COUCH IS SO COMFORTABLE, IT'S HARD TO GET UP.

CHILDREN, I AM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU AGAIN-- BACK IN YOUR ROOMS!

FINE!

[DOOR SLAMS] BECKY, I'M STILL BORED.

[YAWN] [YAWN] SORRY, TEEJ, I'M POOPED.

SEE YOU IN THE MORNING!

[BECKY SNORING] WHOO.

SHE FELL ASLEEP FAST.

[WHISPERING] Word up!

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A GOLD CAR.

[SQUEAKING] ARE YOU SURE THAT'S THEM, CHF?

[SQUEAKING] HEY, TRY NOT TO SCRATCH THE GOLD!

OHH!

[SQUEAKING] GOOD THINKING, HUGGY!

YOU PULL THE CAR FREE, I'LL CAPTURE GRANNY MAY!

[SQUEAKS] GRANNY MAY, YOU'RE GOING DOWN!

PUT THEM DOWN?

OK, YOU ASKED FOR IT!

BOOP!

[SQUEAKING] Narrator: IS THIS THE END OF CAPTAIN HUGGY FACE, THE DRIVER, AND THE MAZ-O-RACER?

DOES THE MAZ-O-RACER HAVE GOOD INSURANCE?

Granny May: [MUFFLED NOISES] Wordgirl: GOOD WORK, HUGGY!

YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN ME THIS TIME, WORDGIRL, BUT I'LL BE BACK!

BECKY!

TJ!

WHAT ARE YOU KIDS DOING UP?

MOM!

DAD!

UHH, DID YOU GUYS HAVE A NICE TIME?

HONEY, CAT ART DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!

WHAT ARE YOU KIDS DOING UP?

UMM... UP TO BED YOU GO!

GO ON!

FINE.

[GRUMBLING] Both: GOOD NIGHT, KIDS!

Both: GOOD NIGHT.

SO, ALL SET THEN, GRANNY MAY.

YOU CAN GO HOME NOW.

OH, OF COURSE.

THERE YOU GO.

ALL PAID UP.

OK, I THOUGHT WE AGREED ON $40.

BUT, $50!

NO?

OK, I'LL LEAVE MY WALLET OUT.

YOU TAKE WHAT YOU THINK YOU DESERVE.

Narrator: HMMM.
