ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE CITY, BUT IN THE CITY ART MUSEUM, IT LOOKS LIKE BEATRICE BIXBY, AKA LADY REDUNDANT WOMAN, IS UP TO NO GOOD.
AH!
NICE DOGGY.
QUITE A CANINE.
A PREFECT POOCH.
[WOOF WOOF] [MEOW] [PEEP PEEP PEEP] OH, NO!
NOT THE ROYAL DANDY!
I WON'T REPEAT, REPRISE, OR REDO THAT MISTAKE AGAIN.
OH!
SIT!
STAY.
[WOOF WOOF] HEEL!
HA HA HA!
Narrator: THE NEXT DAY... ♪ BA BUH DA DA ♪ OOH!
OH, NO!
DAD'S NEW BIRDHOUSE!
OH...WHEW!
[OOH AHH] OH, NO!
DAD'S TINY ORNAMENTAL BIRDHOUSE THAT HE PUT ON THE BIG BIRDHOUSE!
♪ DOO DOO-DOO DOO DOO ♪ HUH!
BUSTED BROKEN BIRDHOUSE, WHAT'S GOING ON?
OH, UH, DAD, UH-- OH, BOB.
IT'S OK.
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.
DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING.
BACK IN A JIFF.
WHEW... [SCREECHES] THANKS FOR BEING SO UNDERSTANDING, DAD.
WE HAVE TO GO.
LATE FOR SCHOOL!
BYE!
Narrator: LATER, ON THE SCHOOL PLAYGROUND... [SCREECHING] I DID NOT LIE!
I DIDN'T TELL DAD YOU DID IT.
I JUST NEVER CORRECTED HIM.
BUT HEY, NO ONE GOT IN TROUBLE, SO... HOORAY!
HUH!
IS THAT THE ROYAL DANDY?
HUH.
HE MUST HAVE ESCAPED FROM THE MUSEUM AGAIN.
COME CLOSE, MATES.
THIS IS A 17th-CENTURY CROQUET MALLET.
GO AHEAD--TRY IT OUT.
OOH, MY HAIR!
DON'T MUSS IT.
AND I WONDER WHERE HE GOT ALL THOSE KNICKKNACKS.
BECKY, DID YOU HEAR?
SOMEONE STOLE A BUNCH OF KNICKKNACKS FROM THE ART MUSEUM.
BECKY!
SCOOPS!
THAT CHARMING NEW BOY GAVE ME A GOLDEN UNICORN.
IT'S SO HEAVY!
LIKE IT'S MADE FROM THE CENTER OF A RAINBOW.
BECKY, MY SOURCES TOLD ME THAT ONE OF THE KNICKKNACKS MISSING FROM THE MUSEUM WAS A GOLDEN UNICORN!
WELL, I'D LOVE TO STAY AND PLAY WITH THAT UNICORN THAT PROBABLY WASN'T STOLEN, BUT, UM...AHEM...
I HAVE TO GO.
A LITTLE TO THE LEFT.
NO.
MY LEFT!
WELL, WELL, WELL!
IF IT ISN'T THE ROYAL DANDY.
WORDGIRL!
BE WITH YOU IN A SECOND.
OH!
I'M JUST...
SO HANDSOME!
UGH.
MORE LIKE YOU'RE JUST SO VAIN.
WELL, YES, I'M VAIN.
I'M THE ROYAL DANDY!
WAIT.
WHAT DOES VAIN MEAN, AGAIN?
TO BE VAIN IS TO SPEND TOO MUCH TIME THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU LOOK OR THINGS YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED, LIKE YOU LOOKING IN THE MIRROR THE ENTIRE TIME I'M TRYING TO TALK TO YOU.
OOH HOO!
GUILTY AS CHARGED.
YEAH.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING.
SO WHAT DOES LADY REDUNDANT WOMAN HAVE PLANNED THIS TIME, HUH?
WHY, I HAVE NO IDEA.
MUM DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING.
I, HOWEVER, PLAN TO MAKE THESE FRIENDLY YOUNGSTERS MY MATES.
IT'S LONELY UP THERE ON THE WALL.
IS THAT WHY YOU STOLE A BUNCH OF KNICKKNACKS FROM THE MUSEUM?
WHA...KNICKKNACKS?
STOLEN?
BY ME?
RIDICULOUS!
BY THE WAY, WOULD YOU LIKE A KNIGHT OF CASTLE CURMUDGEON?
GIVE ME THAT!
I'M RETURNING THIS TO THE MUSEUM, ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER KNICKKNACKS.
THEN WE'RE GOING TO FIND LADY REDUNDANT WOMAN AND PUT YOU BACK ON THAT WALL.
OHH, ALL RIGHT.
HERE.
OH, THANK YOU.
EVERYONE, LOOK!
WORDGIRL STOLE ALL THOSE KNICKKNACKS FROM THE MUSEUM!
[PEOPLE GASP] WHAT?
ME?
I STOLE THESE KNICKKNACKS?
HO HO HO!
SHE ADMITS IT!
HUH!
HUH!
WordGirl: NO, I DIDN'T.
OH, YES, YOU DID.
HERE.
WordGirl's voice: ME?
I STOLE THESE KNICKKNACKS?
ME?
I STOLE... WHAT?
NO!
THAT'S NOT-- HE'S BLAMING ME FOR A CRIME HE COMMITTED!
Record: I STOLE THESE KNICKKNACKS?
OH, CUT THAT OUT!
ALL RIGHT.
I'M GOING TO PROVE I'M INNOCENT BY RETURNING ALL THESE KNICKKNACKS TO THE MUSEUM, WHERE THEY BELONG.
WORD UP!
HA HA HA!
HEE HEE HEE HEE!
OK.
I'M HERE, WITH ALL THE KNICKKNACKS.
I'M STANDING HERE WITH WORDGIRL AND A BAG FULL OF...
UH...WHAT DID YOU CALL THOSE, AGAIN?
KNICKKNACKS.
KNICKKNACKS ARE SMALL LITTLE TRINKETS THAT ARE USED FOR DECORATIONS, LIKE STATUES, SNOW GLOBES, A FIGURINE OF A CHICKEN RIDING A WHALE.
THANK YOU.
AHEM.
I'M STANDING HERE WITH WORDGIRL AND THE BAG OF KNICKKNACKS SHE STOLE FROM THE LOCAL-- WordGirl: WHAT?
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
SO THESE AREN'T KNICKKNACKS.
YOU TOLD ME THEY WERE.
NO, THEY ARE KNICKKNACKS, BUT I DIDN'T STEAL THEM.
IN FACT, I'M GIVING THEM BACK.
SEE?
HEH.
SEEMS...LIGHTER THAN IT WAS BEFORE.
BREAKING NEWS.
WORDGIRL HAS JUST HANDED ME AN EMPTY BAG THAT USED TO HAVE A BUNCH OF STOLEN KNICKKNACKS IN IT.
WHAT?
NO!
WAIT!
SO, TELL ME, WORDGIRL, WHERE DID YOU HIDE THEM?
BUT... NO, I...I...
YES, WORDGIRL.
WHERE DID YOU HIDE THOSE KNICKKNACKS?
B-BUT I DIDN'T!
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STOLE THEM!
OH, REALLY?
THEN WHY IS THE MISSING KNICKKNACK KNIGHT OF CASTLE CURMUDGEON TUCKED INTO THE TOP OF YOUR BOOT?
AGH!
I AM BEING BLAMED FOR SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO!
WORDGIRL IS A CRIMINAL!
HUH!
OHH, THE SHAME, THE SHAME!
THAT WORDGIRL IS A MENACE, I TELL YOU.
IN OTHER NEWS, I AM ADORABLE!
OH, HE'S NOT ADORABLE!
HE'S VAIN!
MEANWHILE, I'M BEING ACCUSED OF A CRIME I DIDN'T COMMIT!
[OOH EEE] HEY, BOB, GUESS WHAT!
I FIXED THE BIRDHOUSE YOU BROKE.
[OOH OOH] I'LL JUST CASUALLY PUT IT RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE COUNTER.
[AH AHH] OH, MAN!
UH, DAD...
YES, BECKY?
OK.
SO...
HERE'S THE THING.
THAT WHOLE BIRDHOUSE INCIDENT...
UH...BOB DIDN'T BREAK IT.
I DID.
BUT, BECKY-- I KNOW!
I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THE TRUTH ABOUT IT SOONER.
IT WAS JUST... YOU DIDN'T SEEM ANGRY, AND BOB DIDN'T GET IN TROUBLE, SO I THOUGHT, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
BUT I REALLY AM SORRY I BROKE THE TINY BIRDHOUSE ON TOP OF YOUR BIRDHOUSE.
WELL, BECKY, THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME THE TRUTH.
YOU'RE GROUNDED.
NO TV FOR A WEEK.
BUT, DAD, THE BIRDHOUSE IS OK!
YOU FIXED IT!
BECKY, BREAKING THE BIRDHOUSE WAS AN ACCIDENT.
LYING ABOUT IT WAS NOT.
OH...
RIGHT.
AND I THINK YOU OWE AN APOLOGY TO A CERTAIN MONKEY NAMED BOB.
♪ DOO DOO-DOO DOO DOO ♪ ♪ PARENTING ACHIEVED ♪ WELL, THAT DIDN'T WORK THE WAY I'D HOPED, BUT STRANGELY ENOUGH, I FEEL BETTER.
AND I'M SORRY I MADE YOU TAKE THE FALL FOR ME.
I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

WE'VE GOT A VAIN LITTLE CRIMINAL TO CATCH!
HA HA HA HA!
WHO'S A CUTIE?
YOU ARE!
OH, A COPY CUTIE.
YES!
HELLO, BEATRICE... OR SHOULD I SAY LADY REDUNDANT WOMAN?
WELL, WELL, WELL, IF IT ISN'T WORDGIRL.
SO, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO WALK ON THE CRIMINAL SIDE OF THE STREET, HMM?
I AM NOT A CRIMINAL!
FACE IT, WORDGIRL, IT'S TIME TO SURRENDER.
GIVE YOURSELF UP!
TURN YOURSELF IN.
I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING BETTER.
I'M GOING TO TURN IN THE REAL THIEF--ROYAL DANDY!
AND I CAME HERE FOR YOUR HELP.
MY HELP?
HA!
WHY WOULD I HELP AID OR ASSIST YOU?
2 REASONS.
FIRST, YOU LIKE ROYAL DANDY EVEN LESS THAN I DO.
WELL, THAT'S TRUE.
AND SECOND, IF YOU HELP ME, I'LL RETURN THAT DOG PAINTING YOU STOLE FROM THE MUSEUM WITHOUT BRINGING YOU TO JAIL.
OH, HA HA!
THAT.
THAT'S NOT A-- [MEOW] THAT'S JUST A... FINE!
IT'S A DEAL.
WHOA!
Narrator: ACROSS TOWN, ROYAL DANDY PREPARES TO RECEIVE THE KEY TO THE CITY FOR RETURNING THE STOLEN KNICKKNACKS.
♪ MI MI MI MI MI ♪ ♪ RED LEATHER, YELLOW LEATHER ♪ ♪ RED LEATHER, YELLOW LEATHER ♪ WordGirl: HELLO, ROYAL DANDY.
HELLO.
HI THERE.
GREETING AND SALUTATIONS, ROYAL DANDY.
OH, HELLO, MUM.
I SEE ALL THE CRIMINALS ARE STICKING TOGETHER.
SO NICE FOR THEM.
THE ONLY THING GETTING STUCK IS YOU-- BACK IN YOUR PAINTING!
YAH!
YA HA HA!
GO AHEAD.
STICK ME BACK ON THAT WALL!
JUST KNOW THAT IF YOU DO, WORDGIRL, NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE STOLEN KNICKKNACKS.
I CAN LIVE WITH THAT.
NO!
WAIT!
HE'S RIGHT.
WE HAVE TO GET HIM TO CONFESS FIRST.
OH, LIKE THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
AND WHO, PRAY TELL, IS GOING TO TRICK ME, HMM?
YOU?
THE ONLY PERSON WHO MIGHT HAVE A SHOT IS SOMEONE WITH MY PERFECT MIX OF CHARM, LOOKS, ORIGINALITY, AND BRILLIANCE.
AND I'M ALREADY ME!
HA HA HA!
I HAVE AN IDEA.
Royal Dandy: I'M GOING TO KEEP THIS SHORT AND SWEET.
I DESERVE EVERYTHING I GET, FOR I AM WONDERFUL AND PERFECT.
Man: AND VAIN.
YES, BECAUSE I AM WONDERFUL AND PERFECT.
YOU HEARD THAT, RIGHT?
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
HUH!
SUCH A HANDSOME FELLOW!
OH!
YOUR HAIR IS WONDROUS!
THANK YOU.
I FOUND A DELIGHTFUL POMADE CALLED THE MOUSSE.
OH, I FEEL LIKE I COULD TELL YOU ANYTHING!
I SAY, I HAVE A SPLENDID IDEA!
WE COULD BE BEST MATES AND DO WHATEVER WE WANT!
NO ONE CAN STOP US-- ESPECIALLY SINCE I GOT WORDGIRL OUT OF THE WAY.
YOU SEE, I STOLE THE MUSEUM'S KNICKKNACKS AND BLAMED IT ON HER.
[PEOPLE GASP] EH...WAIT.
ARE WE STILL ONSTAGE?
UH, YES.
OH!
WELL, YOU'RE SO HANDSOME, I GUESS I LOST TRACK.
AH, WELL.
OH!
HI, MUM.
I-- AAH!
AAH!
WELL, THAT WORKED EVEN BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD.
YOU'RE FREE TO GO, LADY REDUNDANT WOMAN.
AND THANKS.
NO SWEAT!
DON'T MENTION IT.
IT WAS NOTHING.
ON, ONE THING.
FOR EVERYONE'S SAKE, STAY OUT OF THE MUSEUM.
YEAH, OK.

YES, YOU MAY!
TODAY'S FEATURED WORD IS WEDGED.
TO GIVE YOU A CLUE, HERE ARE SOME CLIPS FROM "WORDGIRL" THAT SHOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD.
[BELL DINGS] TOMMY.
WEDGED MEANS SITTING IN A BASKETBALL HOOP, LIKE BOB WAS DOING IN THAT LAST CLIP.
I'M SORRY.
THAT'S INCORRECT.
[BELL DINGS] PHIL, HAVE AT IT.
IF SOMETHING IS WEDGED, IT IS FORCED INTO A SMALL SPACE.
IN THE CLIP TOMMY IS TALKING ABOUT, BOB WAS WEDGED IN THE BASKETBALL HOOP, AND THE HOOP WAS SO SMALL THAT HE WAS STUCK.
THAT'S CORRECT.
CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU ARE TODAY'S WINNER.

MY APPOINTMENT SHOULD HAVE ENDED OVER AN HOUR AGO!
HMM...NOT FOLLOWING YOU THERE, B-TRAIN.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT AN APPOINTMENT IS?
ISN'T IT WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW?
NO.
THIS IS THE EXAM.
AN APPOINTMENT IS A MEETING THAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AT A SPECIFIC TIME AND PLACE-- IN MY CASE, 1:30 HERE, AND I WAS HERE AT THAT TIME.
ENJOYING MY WAITING ROOM, RIGHT?
HA HA!
UP TOP.
YES, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
IF YOU HAD MET WITH ME AT THAT TIME, YOU'D BE KEEPING THE APPOINTMENT, BUT IT'S 3:00, AND THERE ARE SOME THINGS I'VE GOT TO DO--NOW!
HMM.
THEY NEVER MENTIONED APPOINTMENTS AT DENTAL SCHOOL, BUT IT DOES MAKE SENSE.
FROM NOW ON, I'LL STICK TO MY APPOINTMENTS.
OOH!

[EEE EEE] SAY, WORKER NUMBER 12, HAVE YOU EVER FIRED A MONKEY BEFORE?
WELL, THERE WAS THIS ONE TIME--UH-OH.
[SCREECHING] THAT'S THE KIND OF THING YOU JUST GOT TO PRACTICE.
AH HA HA HA!
OW!
YOU LOSE, ZANY!
THAT'S QUITE A CAVITY YOUR ROBOT PUT IN MY FACTORY.
A CAVITY ISN'T SOMETHING IN A WALL.
IT'S IN YOUR TOOTH.
OW!
THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK, TOBEY.
WORDGI--OWW!
OH, GOOD.
SHE CAUGHT THE MONKEY.
SURE, A CAVITY IS A HOLE OR HOLLOW SPACE IN YOUR TOOTH, SOMETHING THAT CAN BE A BIT OF A PAIN.
OWW!
BUT THE WORD "CAVITY" CAN BE USED TO DESCRIBE LOTS OF HOLLOW SPACES, LIKE A CAVE IN A MOUNTAIN IS A KIND OF CAVITY, AND THAT WALL NOW HAS A CAVITY, IN THE SHAPE OF A ROBOT FOOT.
THANKS, WORDGIRL.
AND TO SHOW YOU I REALLY UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF THE WORD CAVITY, I THINK I'LL MAKE SOME MORE!
YAH!
YAH!
YAH!
YEE-AH!
OHH!
YEAH!
YAY!
NO MORE ROBOT/CANDY BATTLE?
AW, MAN!
BOOOO!
WORDGIRL, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THIS PAIN IS ALL ZANY'S FAULT!
HE-- TAKES AWFUL CARE OF YOUR TEETH?
YES!
WELL, NO.
BUT HE DOES MAKE IRRESISTIBLE CANDY TREATS.
GUH... JUST BRING ME TO MOTHER SO I CAN FACE MY PUNISHMENT.
I'VE GOT A BETTER IDEA-- AN EMERGENCY APPOINTMENT WITH DR. CLOCKTERMOCKTER.
I'D RATHER FACE MOTHER.
OFF WE GO!
