AH, FATHER'’’S DAY, A DAY WHEN FATHERS GET TO RELAX AND TAKE IT EASY.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING] UM, MR. BOTSFORD, IT'’’S FATHER'’’S DAY.

DON'’’T YOU WANT TO LIE IN YOUR HAMMOCK WHILE YOUR FAMILY SERVES YOU ICE-COLD BEVERAGES?

NOPE.

CAN'’’T.

MUST...WARM...UP.

HEH HEH.

WHY?

ARE YOU GETTING READY TO RUN A MARATHON OR SOMETHING?

NO, IT'’’S THE DAY OF THE BIG FATHER-DAUGHTER DANCE-A-THON... AND HERE'’’S MY DANCE PARTNER NOW!

BECKY, ARE YOU READY TO DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, AND THEN DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE, DANCE SOME MORE?

DON'’’T GET ME WRONG, DAD.

I MEAN, I'’’M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SPENDING QUALITY TIME WITH YOU TODAY, BUT, YOU KNOW, I'’’M NOT REALLY THE BEST DANCER.

OH, THAT'’’S ALRIGHT, BECKY, BECAUSE IN THE DANCE-A-THON, IT'’’S NOT ABOUT HOW WELL YOU CAN DANCE BUT HOW LONG YOU CAN KEEP DANCING, AND THIS YEAR I AM DETERMINED TO KEEP ON DANCING UNTIL WE TAKE HOME THAT TROPHY!

UM, HOW LONG IS THAT GOING TO TAKE EXACTLY?

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA.

IT'’’S NOT OVER UNTIL THERE'’’S ONLY ONE TEAM LEFT DANCING.

OH, HO!

DOESN'’’T THAT SOUND LIKE FUN?!

HEH HEH.

HEH.

I'’’LL BE SHOWING OFF A LIFETIME'’’S WORTH OF DANCE MOVES LIKE THIS ONE.

OBSERVE.

♪ MEEP BOP MEEP BOP BIDOO ♪ ♪ BOOP BOP BEEP BA DOO ♪ ♪ I'’’M YOUR DAD, BA BO BOO DEE BEEP ♪ ♪ BUT I'’’M A ROBOT, BO BA DOO BA DOO ♪ ♪ WHICH ONE AM I?

BO BA DOO BA DOO ♪ ♪ I'’’M BOTH ♪ HA!

SEE?

UH, DAD, DON'’’T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE SAVING YOUR ENERGY?

♪ BO BOO DEE BOOP BOOP ♪ YOU'’’RE RIGHT.

ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY'’’RE HERE.

WHO ARE THEY?

THE PRANCINGTONS, THE BEST FATHER-DAUGHTER DANCE TEAM IN THE WORLD.

I DON'’’T KNOW IF WE CAN BEAT THEM.

YEAH, YOU'’’RE PROBABLY RIGHT.

I DON'’’T THINK WE CAN.

WANT TO...SKIP IT?

DUBBA DUBBA DUBBA.

NO, BECKY.

WE ARE NOT GIVING UP THAT EASILY.

I AM DETERMINED TO WIN THIS COMPETITION.

YOU HEAR THAT, PRANCINGTONS?

OHH.

AND I AM DETERMINED TO MAKE SURE THIS HERE DANCE-A-THON IS RUN BY THE BOOK, THE "FAIRNESS IN DANCING" BOOK.

THE WARDEN?

ARE YOU RUNNING THE DANCE?

SURE.

SEE THE BOOK?

MY JOB TODAY IS TO CAREFULLY OBSERVE Y'’’ALL WHILE YOU'’’RE DANCING AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY HERE FOLLOWS THE RULES.

HEY, EVERYBODY!

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE.

IF ANY MEMBER OF ANY TEAM STOPS DANCING, EVEN FOR A SECOND, THAT TEAM WILL BE ELIMINATED.

YOU ARE OUT OF THE MARATHON.

THE LAST TEAM DANCING WILL WIN THIS HERE TROPHY, AND I AM DETERMINED TO WIN IT.

THE DANCE-A-THON STARTS...

RIGHT NOW!

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING] OH, OH!

COME ON, BECKY.

BOOGIE LIKE YOU'’’VE NEVER BOOGIED BEFORE!

HEY, DAD.

HOW ARE MY DANCE MOVES?

WELL, YOU'’’RE DEFINITELY MOVING, AND THAT'’’S WHAT'’’S IMPORTANT.

KEEP IT UP, BECKY!

WHOO!

Narrator: SO WHILE THE BOTSFORDS MOVE THEIR FEET, THE BUTCHER IS MOVING SOME MEAT.

Butcher: HEY, POP!

HAPPY FATHER'’’S DAY!

YEAH.

LOOK.

I'’’M CALLING TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I GOT A BIG PLAN FOR TODAY, OK?

NO, I CAN'’’T TELL YOU WHAT IT IS.

IT'’’S A SURPRISE.

NO.

LOOK.

JUST COME DOWN TO THE PARK LATER TODAY, AND YOU'’’LL SEE IT FOR YOURSELF.

NO.

I'’’LL SEE YOU LATER TODAY.

HANGING UP NOW.

[DIAL TONE] OH, BOY!

THIS IS GONNA BE THE BIGGEST THING THAT'’’S EVER HAPPENED TO THIS CITY.

I'’’M ABOUT TO LEAVE A BIG MARK ON THE CITY PARK.

HA HA HA!

[ECHOING] UH-OH!

KEEP MOVING THOSE FEET, BECKY.

HMM.

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.

I JUST OBSERVED A VIOLATION OF THE RULES AND THAT MEANS YOUR TEAM HAS BEEN DANCED ELIMINATED.

OH!

I'’’VE GOT TO STOP THE BUTCHER, BUT I CAN'’’T LEAVE THE DANCE FLOOR.

IF I DO WE'’’LL LOSE THE DANCE-A-THON AND I'’’LL LET DAD DOWN ON FATHER'’’S DAY!

HEY, I KNOW!

BOB!

BOB, I'’’M SORRY, BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT.

[SQUEAKS] BOB, I HAVE A FEELING... THAT THE BUTCHER... IS UP TO NO GOOD... AT THE CITY PARK.

I NEED YOU TO GO STOP HIM... BECAUSE I CAN'’’T LEAVE THE DANCE...

FLOOR.

GREAT.

OBSERVE WHAT HE'’’S DOING... AND IF HE DOES ANYTHING BAD... STOP HIM!

DANCING AND SOLVING CRIME JUST DON'’’T GO HAND IN HAND, DO THEEEY?

[PEOPLE SCREAMING] EVERYBODY SCRAM.

CAPTAIN HUGGY FACE?

OH, NO.

NO, NO, NO.

I GOT A LOT TO DO, AND YOU'’’RE NOT GETTING IN MY WAY!

[ERR] OK.

IF YOU'’’RE SO DETERMINATED TO STICK AROUND... KNOCKWURST KNOCKOUT!

[SQUEAKS] HUH.

YOU'’’RE A HANDY LITTLE MONKEY.

I COULD USE A HAND WITH MY BIG, BIG PLAN, AND WHY DON'’’T YOU HELP ME OUT, AND I CAN HELP YOU OUT?

[SQUEAK] OK. LET'’’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I RAISE THE STAKES.

HEH HEH HEH!

UH-UH-UH.

I'’’LL LET YOU EAT BUT ONLY IF HELP ME WITH MY BIG PLAN.

SO WHAT DO YOU SAY?

HUNGRY?

[STOMACH GROWLS] [WHIMPERS] [SCREECHES] OH, YEAH!

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

Narrator: WAIT, CAPTAIN HUGGY FACE.

I CAN'’’T BELIEVE WHAT I'’’M OBSERVING.

ARE YOU ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT JOINING UP WITH THE BUTCHER?

1, 2, CHA CHA CHA.

3, 4, CHA, CHA, CHA.

1, 2, CHA.

DAD, YOU REALLY LOOK LIKE YOU COULD USE SOME REST.

YES, BUT I AM DETERMINED TO WIN THIS DANCE-A-THON, AND YOU KNOW WHAT DETERMINED MEANS.

YES, I DO, ACTUALLY.

WHEN YOU'’’RE DETERMINED, YOU'’’RE SO SET ON DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU'’’RE NOT GOING TO LET ANYTHING STOP YOU FROM DOING IT.

THAT'’’S RIGHT.

EVEN THE FACT THAT I CAN'’’T FEEL MY LEGS.

THEY'’’RE STILL MOVING, RIGHT?

YEAH, DAD.

Narrator: UM, BECKY, I THINK WE HAVE A BIT OF A SITUATION-- IT SEEMS CAPTAIN HUGGY FACE IS JOINING FORCES WITH THE BUTCHER.

HEH.

REALLY?

WAIT.

SERIOUSLY?

OH!

OH, BOY.

THIS IS GONNA BE BIG!

OH.

OH, NO.

I'’’VE GOT TO GET OVER THERE.

WELL, DANCE FANS, THAT MEANS WE HAVE ONLY TWO TEAMS LEFT-- THE BOTSFORDS AND LAST YEAR'’’S AND THE YEAR BEFORE THAT AND THE YEAR BEFORE THAT AND THE YEAR BEFORE THAT'’’S CHAMPIONS, THE PRANCINGTONS!

THIS IS THE FINAL ROUND, AND WE ARE GONNA MAKE THE MUSIC FASTER.

HIT IT, MA!

[FASTER MUSIC PLAYING] Narrator: BECKY...

I CAN'’’T LEAVE MY DAD NOW.

HE'’’S JUST SO DETERMINED TO WIN, AND IT'’’S FATHER'’’S DAY!

COME ON, BECKY!

LET'’’S MOVE OUR FEET TO THIS FUNKY, FUNKY BEAT!

BOY, I CAN'’’T WAIT TO SEE THE LOOK ON EVERYONE'’’S FACES WHEN THEY SEE THIS.

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

YEAH.

LAUGH WITH ME!

Narrator: BECKY, WE'’’RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

I KNOW, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE PRANCINGTONS ARE RUNNING OUT OF STEAM.

OH, THAT IS IT!

I AM CALLING THIS HERE DANCE-A-THON IN FAVOR OF THE BOTSFORDS!

DAD, WE WON!

I KNOW, BECKY!

I'’’M SO...TIRED.

OHH.

[SNORING] OK.

I GUESS I'’’LL BE GIVING YOU THE TROPHY, LITTLE LADY SINCE YOU'’’RE STILL VERTICAL AND ALL.

ACTUALLY, WARDEN, I'’’LL BE RIGHT BACK.

ALL RIGHT!

GET READY!

OHH!

YOU ARE NEVER GONNA FORGET WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO ABSURD.

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, BUTCHER!

WORD GIRL!

LET'’’S GET A COUPLE THINGS STRAIGHT.

FIRST OF ALL, THE WORD IS OBSERVE, NOT ABSURD.

FINE!

OBSERVE!

WHEN YOU OBSERVE SOMETHING, YOU SEE IT HAPPEN RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES, AND RIGHT NOW, I'’’M OBSERVING MY SIDEKICK, CAPTAIN HUGGY FACE, WORKING ALONGSIDE A VILLAIN.

HUGGY, HOW COULD YOU?

WORD GIRL, I THINK YOU OUGHT TO STAY OUT OF THIS.

YOU DON'’’T KNOW WHAT YOU'’’RE GETTING YOURSELF INTO.

OH, REALLY?

THEN MAYBE I BETTER TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'’’S UNDER THIS SHEET!

TA-DA!

HUH?

WOW.

IS THAT YOUR FATHER, KID POTATO?

AND IT'’’S MADE OUT OF MEAT AND POTATOES!

LOOK AT THAT!

I COULDN'’’T GET THE FACE RIGHT.

HUGGY DID THE FACE.

[SQUEAKS] THAT IS SO SWEET.

AND A LITTLE BIT GROSS BUT MOSTLY SWEET.

I'’’M SORRY FOR ALL THE CONFUSION.

I WAS DETERMINED--SEE, I GOT THE WORD RIGHT-- TO KEEP IT A SECRET SO I COULD DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR FATHER'’’S DAY.

AHEM.

POP, I BUILT THIS TO SHOW EVERYONE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.

[CHEERING] AWWW, DAD!

YOU'’’RE SO EMOTIONAL.

COME HERE!

COME, LET THESE ARMS SURROUND YOU.

HUGGY, IT WAS REALLY NICE OF YOU TO HELP THE BUTCHER, BUT YOU'’’RE NOT REALLY GOING TO JOIN UP WITH HIM, ARE YOU?

HA.

I KNEW THAT.

OF COURSE YOU'’’RE NOT!

GOOD.

Narrator: AND SO THE DAY ENDS WITH HUGS ALL AROUND.

REMEMBER, THE NEXT TIME YOU'’’RE DETERMINED TO FIND SOME QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT, TUNE IN TO OBSERVE MORE OF THE THRILLING ADVENTURES OF... ♪ WORD GIIII-IR-IRL ♪ ♪ WORD GIRL ♪ ♪ WORD GIRL ♪ Narrator: TODAY'’’S FEATURED WORDS ARE BLISSFUL AND EXPERTISE.

JUST ANOTHER LOVELY, QUIET AFTERNOON AT THE BOTSFORDS.

AHH, SO WONDERFULLY HAPPY.

I'’’D GO SO FAR AS TO CALL IT BLISSFUL.

HA HA HA!

YOU'’’RE NEVER GOING TO BELIEVE THIS!

I JUST GOT MY DREAM JOB!

OH!

THAT'’’S GREAT!

WOW!

WHAT IS IT?

YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE YO-YOING, RIGHT?

OH, YOU'’’RE VERY GOOD AT YO-YOING.

IT'’’S ONE OF MY AREAS OF EXPERTISE!

WELL I JUST GOT A JOB TEACHING PEOPLE TO YO-YO!

OH, TIM.

I'’’M SO PROUD OF YOU.

ME TOO, DAD.

SO WHO IS PAYING YOU TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO YO-YO?

ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

MR. BIG!

YOU'’’RE WORKING FOR MR.

BIG?!

HONEY, HE'’’S A KNOWN CRIMINAL!

CORRECTION!

MR. BIG WAS A CRIMINAL, BUT HE JUST GOT OUT OF JAIL, AND HE SAYS HE'’’S REALLY, REALLY SORRY FOR ALL THE TIMES HE CHEATED PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY.

SO TO APOLOGIZE, HE'’’S GIVING EVERYONE IN THE CITY A FREE YO-YO AND FREE LESSONS FROM ME!

MR. BIG SORRY?

OH, I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, DAD, BUT THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOME SORT OF HOAX.

HOW COULD IT BE A HOAX, BECKY?

I'’’M HAPPY THAT YOU GOT YOUR DREAM JOB!

THAT'’’S WHAT I'’’M LOOKING FOR!

OH!

LOOP THE LOOP!

OH, BOY.

DREAM JOB!

Mr. Big: LET ME JUST SAY AGAIN THAT I AM PROFOUNDLY, DEEPLY, AND INCREDIBLY SORRY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR ALL THE BAD THINGS I'’’VE DONE IN THE PAST.

YOU USED MIND CONTROL ON US!

YES.

OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

YES.

UNCOOL!

MAN!

OH, OH, IT'’’S VERY UNCOOL.

I HEAR YOU...PEEPS.

THAT'’’S WHY I WANT EVERYONE IN THE CITY TO HAVE THEIR VERY OWN MR. BIG YO-YO FREE OF CHARGE.

DID YOU ALL GET YOURS?

LOVELY!

BUT THAT'’’S NOT ALL.

I'’’M EVEN THROWING IN FREE LESSONS WITH LOCAL YO-YO EXPERT TIM BOTSFORD.

WHEN IT COMES TO YO-YOING, NOBODY HAS MORE EXPERTISE!

WHOO!

LOOK OUT!

OH, HELLO THERE, EVERYBODY!

DON'’’T MIND ME.

I'’’M JUST WALKING THE DOG.

OHH!

HEY.

ROCK THE CRADLE.

WOW!

LOOK AT THAT!

FLYING SAUCER!

SPLIT THE ATOM!

THE HIGGINBOTHAM!

HA HA HA!

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU!

NOW GRAB YOUR OFFICIAL MR. BIG "I'’’M SO SORRY" YO-YO, AND LET'’’S START LEARNING!

OUR FIRST TRICK WAS INVENTED BY MR. BIG HIMSELF, AND IT'’’S CALLED THE BLISSFUL BIG!

AH.

SEE THAT SMILEY FACE?

THAT'’’S THE BLISSFUL PART!

COME ON, BOB.

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, MR. BIG!

I KNOW THAT VOICE.

WORD GIRL?

UM, ER, NO.

IT'’’S JUST ME BECKY BOTSFORD, NORMAL CITIZEN.

HEH.

WE'’’RE A LITTLE CURIOUS ABOUT THIS WHOLE FREE YO-YOS THING.

IT'’’S A WELL-KNOWN FACT THAT YOU HAVE LOTS OF CRIMINAL EXPERTISE.

LITTLE GIRL, YOU'’’VE GOT ME ALL WRONG.

YES, I USED TO COMMIT CRIMES, BUT I'’’M SORRY, AND NOW I'’’M GIVING BACK AFTER TAKING AND TAKING AND TAKING.

I MEAN, WHAT'’’S WRONG WITH SPREADING A LITTLE JOY?

NOTHING AS LONG AS IT'’’S NOT PART OF SOME DEVIOUS CRIMINAL PLAN.

HA HA HA!

DEVIOUS CRIMINAL PLAN?

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE DEVIOUS ABOUT A CITY HAVING FUN AND LEARNING TRICKS?

I MEAN, LOOK AT THAT CROWD OUT THERE.

THEY'’’RE BLISSFULLY HAPPY.

LOOK AT ME!

I CAN DO THE BLISSFUL BIG!

GREAT WORK!

YOU'’’VE GOT IT!

HA HA HA!

EVERYONE WILL BE DOING THE BLISSFUL BIG BEFORE THE END OF THE DAY!

HA HA HA!

I'’’M STILL WORRIED THERE'’’S SOMETHING FISHY GOING ON, BUT, YOU KNOW, DAD LOOKS SO HAPPY TEACHING THE CITY HOW TO YO-YO.

I DON'’’T WANT TO MESS UP HIS DREAM JOB.

ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?

[SQUEAKS] BLISSFUL BIG.

OH, GOOD.

WELL, THAT'’’S GOOD.

YO-YO FEVER IS SWEEPING THE CITY!

THANKS TO MR. BIG'’’S GENEROUS DONATION, IT SEEMS THAT EVERYONE IS LEARNING THE BLISSFUL BIG YO-YO TRICK, AND LEADING THE REVOLUTION IS LOCAL YO-YO EXPERT TIM BOTSFORD.

BOTSFORD.

TIM.

I MEAN, MR. BOTSFORD?

UM, THIS IS MY DREAM JOB!

AND I HOPE I GET TO KEEP TEACHING YO-YOING FOREVER.

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT.

TIM--UH--BOSTFORD-- UH, MR. BOTSFORD BLISSFULLY SPREADING THE JOY OF YO-YOING ACROSS THE LAND.

HMM.

WHAT WAS THAT?

BOB, DO THE TRICK AGAIN IN FRONT OF THE TV.

THAT'’’S STRANGE.

MAYBE THE ANTENNA IS CROOKED.

I'’’LL GO CHECK!

LET ME SEE THAT.

THERE'’’S SOMETHING FISHY GOING ON WITH THIS YO-YO.

I'’’M GOING TO HAVE TO BREAK IT AND SEE WHAT'’’S INSIDE.

[SQUEAKS] I KNEW IT!

THESE YO-YOS ARE FILLED WITH SOME SORT OF ELECTRONICS.

MR. BIG MUST BE UP TO SOMETHING.

I'’’M GLAD SOLVING MYSTERIES IS ONE OF MY AREAS OF EXPERTISE.

[SQUEAKS] OH.

EXPERTISE MEANS A SKILL OR ACTIVITY YOU'’’RE REALLY, REALLY GOOD AT, LIKE YOUR YO-YOING.

YOU'’’RE REALLY GOOD AT IT-- AN EXPERT EVEN-- SO WE SAY YOU HAVE LOTS OF YO-YOING EXPERTISE.

YEAH, DON'’’T RUB IT IN.

I THINK IT'’’S TIME FOR WORD GIRL AND HUGGY TO PAY MR. BIG A VISIT.

WORD UP!

SO THE YO-YOS HAVE ELECTRONICS INSIDE THEM?

CORRECT!

HIDDEN IN EACH YO-YO IS A MIND CONTROL RADIO.

SO YOU'’’RE NOT REALLY SORRY ABOUT ALL THOSE TIMES YOU'’’VE TRICKED AND STOLEN FROM THE CITIZENS?

OF COURSE NOT!

HA HA HA!

I WANTED THEM TO THINK I WAS SORRY.

I HIRED THAT BOTSFORD GUY TO TEACH EVERYONE A SPECIFIC TRICK, THE BLISSFUL BIG, AND ONCE I TURN ON MY MIND CONTROL COMPUTER, EVERYONE WHO DOES THE BLISSFUL BIG WILL SUDDENLY BE UNDER MY CONTROL!

THEN WHAT?

WELL, I CAN TELL THEM TO DO WHATEVER I WANT, LIKE, "DELIVER ALL YOUR MONEY TO BIG ENTERPRISES RIGHT AWAY!"

IT'’’S THAT SIMPLE!

HA HA HA!

IMPRESSIVE TRICKERY, SIR.

OH, THANK YOU.

AH, ISN'’’T DREAMING UP MIND CONTROL SCHEMES JUST THE MOST BLISSFUL WAY TO SPEND AN AFTERNOON?

MWA HA HA HA!

MWA HA HA HA!

OH, I DON'’’T KNOW!

I CAN THINK OF A MORE BLISSFUL ACTIVITY.

WORD GIRL!

UH, LESLIE?

A HAND, PLEASE?

HIIIIII-YA!

KEEP HER BUSY, HUGGY!

THIS SEEMS LIKE A GOOD TIME TO ACTIVATE THE MIND CONTROL.

NOOO!!!

HA HA HA!

TOO LATE!

OH, I ALMOST FORGOT.

FORCE FIELD!

OOF!

SINCE WHEN DO YOU HAVE A FORCE FIELD?

OH, IT'’’S BRAND-NEW!

PRETTY EXPENSIVE, THOUGH.

I WAS THINKING OF RETURNING IT, BUT-- OOF!

HA HA HA!

I THINK IT JUST PAID FOR ITSELF.

HUGGY?!

AAAAA!

WHOA!

HUGGY, WHAT HAPPENED?

I KNOW!

LESLIE DOES HAVE MORE KARATE EXPERTISE THAN I REMEMBERED.

KARATE MAKES ME FEEL REALLY, REALLY HAPPY.

SOUNDS LIKE KARATE MAKES YOU FEEL BLISSFUL, IN A STATE OF COMPLETE HAPPINESS.

OH, RIGHT, BLISSFUL.

GOOD WORK, LESLIE.

GREETINGS, CITIZENS OF THE CITY.

MR. BIG HERE WITH A BLISSFUL IDEA.

WHY DON'’’T YOU TAKE ALL YOUR MONEY AND DROP IT OFF AT MY SKYSCRAPER DOWNTOWN?

BRING ME ALL YOUR MONEY, MONEY, MONEY.

THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY.

HURRY!

HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

WELL, I'’’M GOING TO GO START BRINGING THE MONEY INSIDE.

MAYBE I'’’LL ROLL AROUND IN IT.

HA HA HA!

AHH, CRIMINAL BLISS.

KEEP AN EYE ON THEM, LESLIE.

SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

I KEEP AN EYE ON YOU UNTIL MR. BIG COMES BACK.

HMM.

THAT SOUNDS KIND OF BORING.

ALL RIGHT, FOLKS!

KEEP IT COMING!

BE SURE TO COME BACK WITH ANY EXTRA CHANGE YOU FIND IN YOUR COUCH CUSHIONS.

HOO HOO HOO!

HOW'’’S IT COMING WITH THOSE KNOTS?

WAIT.

HYAAAH!

HEY!

WHY AM I BRINGING ALL MY MONEY HERE?

GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK!

YEAH!

I'’’LL BE TAKING MY MONEY BACK, TOO!

OH, OF COURSE!

HERE YOU GO, OFFICER.

SO SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.

THANK YOU.

WELL AT LEAST HE'’’S NOT TAKING ME TO JAIL.

AND I'’’LL BE TAKING YOU TO JAIL.

OH.

I'’’M GLAD BIG'’’S PLAN IS FOILED, BUT YOU KNOW WHO I'’’M WORRIED ABOUT.

[SQUEAK] YUP.

HE'’’S GOING TO BE SO DISAPPOINTED THAT HIS YO-YO DREAM JOB IS FINISHED.

LET'’’S GO!

WORD UP!

YO...YO...YO... HEY, DAD.

OH, HEY BECKY.

DID YOU HEAR?

AFTER MR. BIG TRICKED EVERYBODY WITH HIS MIND CONTROL YO-YOS, NOBODY WANTS YO-YO LESSONS ANYMORE.

THEY DON'’’T THINK IT'’’S A BLISSFUL ACTIVITY.

OH, I'’’M SORRY, DAD.

I GUESS I WON'’’T BE ABLE TO PUT MY EXPERTISE TO GOOD USE.

WELL, I KNOW ONE PERSON WHO WANTS TO LEARN SOME YO-YO TRICKS.

WHO?

ME!

REALLY?

OH, YEAH!

AWESOME!

OK. WELL, THE FIRST TRICK IS THE 3-LEAF CLOVER.

YOU READY?

READY!

START WITH YOUR FEET PLANTED FIRMLY.

IT'’’S ALL IN THE WRIST.

Narrator: AND SO WITH MR. BOTSFORD FINDING AN OUTLET FOR HIS TEACHING EXPERTISE AND BECKY DISCOVERING THAT YO-YOING CAN BE A BLISSFUL ACTIVITY, ALL IS WELL IN THE CITY!
