AH, TELEVISION, A VAST WONDERLAND OF EXCITING ENTERTAINMENT CHOICES.

COMMERCIAL, COMMERCIAL.

HELLO!

WORD GIRL?

IT'S YOUR OLD FRIEND DR. TWO-BRAINS!

COMMERCIAL!

NO, NO!

WAIT, WAIT.

I DON'T THINK THIS IS A COMMERCIAL.

ARE YOU AS SICK AS I AM OF HAVING TO RUN TO THE BALL PARK EVERY TIME YOU WANT SOME NACHOS?

WHO DOESN'T LIKE GOING TO THE BALL PARK?

I DECIDED TO TURN ALL THE WATER IN THE CITY RESERVOIR INTO CHEESE.

IMAGINE!

JUST HOLDING A BASKET OF CHIPS UNDER THE FAUCET WHILE THE CHEESE RUNS OUT OF THE TAP.

OH, AND DON'T BOTHER TRYING TO STOP ME.

IT'S ALREADY TOO LATE.

HA HA HA HA!

THIS IS ONE FONDUE YOU'LL NEVER UNDO!

HA HA HA HEE!

OHH!

THIS IS A DISASTER!

CHEESE FROM A FAUCET.

SOUNDS AWESOME!

AWESOME?

NO.

IT WOULD CREATE VAST CHAOS.

COME ON, BOB.

WE'D BETTER GET DOWN TO, UH, THE PARK.

IT COULD BE OUR LAST CHANCE TO GET A DRINK FROM OUR FAVORITE WATER FOUNTAIN.

WOW.

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD A FAVORITE WATER FOUNTAIN.

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, WORD GIRL!

ONE STEP CLOSER, AND THESE UNION RESERVOIR WORKERS ARE GONERS!

UH-OH.

WE GOT TO STALL HIM!

OK. POWERING UP THE RAY.

LET'S GO!

G-G-G--WAIT!

UH...UH, NO BANTER?

NAH, I'M KIND OF BUSY TODAY.

GOT THINGS TO DO, PLACES TO CHEESE.

MOVING ON...

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!

SORRY.

NOOOOO!

SURPRISE!

OH, UH, SORRY, BOSS.

SURPRISE, WORD GIRL.

WELL, ARE YOU SURPRISED?

SU-SURPRISED?

YEAH, I'M SURPRISED!

SURPRISED YOU'D PANIC THE WHOLE CITY AND COMPLETELY WASTE MY TIME WITH A RIDICULOUS, POINTLESS PRANK!

COME ON, HUGGY.

WAIT, WAIT!

DON'T GET ALL MAD.

I HAD TO LURE YOU DOWN HERE TO GIVE YOU SOME BIG, BIG NEWS.

I WANT YOU TO BE THE FIRST TO HEAR IT!

IT'S A REAL SURPRISE!

YEAH?

SURPRISE ME.

WELL, I'M GOING STRAIGHT!

MM-HMM.

FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, I WILL NEVER AGAIN STEAL ANOTHER PIECE OF CHEESE OR TURN THINGS INTO CHEESE OR STEAL THINGS THAT TURN THINGS INTO CHEESE.

GUESS THAT COVERS IT.

I'M DONE WITH CRIME!

FINISHED!

FINITO!

UH-HUH.

WORD GIRL?

CAN I SHARE WITH YOU?

MY SHIP HAS COME IN!

REALLY.

AND WHAT SORT OF A SHIP MIGHT THIS BE?

I HAVE TO SHOW YOU.

MM-HMM.

AT YOUR WAREHOUSE, I ASSUME.

YES, YES, EXACTLY, AND I WANT TO-- HA HA HA!

OH!

HA HA!

GOLLY, WORD GIRL.

WAY TO MAKE A TOTAL MOCKERY OF MY LIFE CHANGE.

PLEASE.

YOU THINK I'D JUST INNOCENTLY WALTZ INTO YOUR WAREHOUSE AND TOTALLY LET DOWN MY GUARD ALL BECAUSE YOU HAVE "SOMETHING TO SHOW ME"?

GIVE ME A CHANCE, OK?

I'LL PROVE I'M SINCERE ABOUT THIS!

YEAH, OK. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!

BOSS, WE'RE CONFUSED.

IS IT A SHIP OR A CHEESE-ASTEROID FROM OUTER SPACE?

"MY SHIP HAS COME IN"-- THAT'S JUST AN EXPRESSION.

IT MEANS GOOD THINGS ARE STARTING TO HAPPEN FOR ME.

ANYWAY, THAT'S NOT THE POINT.

I'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT SOME WAY TO CONVINCE WORD GIRL I'M OUT OF THE CHEESE-STEALING BUSINESS.

Narrator: LATER, TOBEY THREATENS TO DESTROY THE LOCAL TV STATION FOR AIRING "ROBOTS, ROBOTS, ROBOTS"...

IT'S INSULTINGLY FAKE!

I WON'T HAVE IT, I TELL YOU!

THERE'S A VERY EASY SOLUTION, TOBEY!

IT'S CALLED A REMOTE!

EXCUSE ME, SORRY.

THIS'LL ONLY TAKE A MINUTE.

HEY-- WATCH THIS, WORD GIRL!

HEY, TOBEY.

I'VE GOT A DEAL FOR YOU.

IF I EVER STEAL CHEESE, YOU CAN ORDER THAT ROBOT TO DESTROY ME, OK?

COULD BE A LOT OF MONEY IN IT FOR YOU.

HA.

MONEY MEANS NOTHING TO A GENIU-- WHOA.

THAT'S A LOT OF DOUGH.

I'M SORRY, BUT I DON'T SEE HOW THAT KEEPS YOU FROM CAPTURING ME IF I COME TO YOUR WAREHOUSE.

WELL, I MEAN, I GUESS, BECAUSE YOU'D--UGH.

FINE.

CARRY ON, KID.

BUT ALL THAT MONEY.

OHH.

Dr. Two-Brains, distant: OH, WORD GIRL?

HELLO?

HELLO, WORD GIRL?

Word Girl: THE DUMP?

REALLY?

ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

SUDDENLY I'M NOT WAVERING OVER WHETHER TO FEEL ANGRY OR NOT ANYMORE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAVERING MEANS.

TO WAVER MEANS TO GO BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN DIFFERENT CHOICES, LIKE WHEN YOU CAN'T MAKE UP YOUR MIND.

IN THIS CASE, I COULD BE FLATTERED THAT YOU'D LIE TO ME JUST TO GET ME TO COME HERE AND DEFINE WAVERING FOR YOU, OR I COULD BE ANGRY, BUT I'VE PRETTY MUCH SETTLED ON ANGRY.

UH-UH!

ANGRY HAS NO PLACE HERE.

SEE?

EVERY COCKAMAMIE GIZMO I'VE EVER BUILT TO MAKE CHEESE OR STEAL CHEESE THROWN AWAY, IN THE GARBAGE!

I DON'T NEED THEM!

THAT PROVES I'M OUT OF THE CHEESE RACKET, RIGHT?

NO, IT DOESN'T!

MAYBE YOU KEPT A FEW, LIKE THAT RAY MOUNTED ON THE DASHBOARD OF YOUR TRUCK!

WHAT DO YOU NEED THAT FOR, HUH?

THAT'S A GARAGE DOOR OPENER.

OR THEM!

GOOD GUYS DON'T NEED HENCHMEN.

HA!

SO WHAT ABOUT THEM?

WELL, I... NO, BOSS.

SHE'S GOT A POINT.

LOOK.

I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY ALL IN ON THIS TOGETHER.

COME ON, HUGGY.

Narrator: BUT MERE NANOMOMENTS LATER... WHAT?

YOU THINK TWO-BRAINS IS GOING STRAIGHT, HUH?

WELL, I'M OF TWO MINDS ABOUT THIS, TOO, BUT I'VE JUST BEEN TRICKED TOO MANY TIMES.

[SQUEAK] I KNOW.

HEROES ARE SUPPOSED TO DO THE RIGHT THING, AND THE RIGHT THING HERE WOULD BE TO GIVE TWO-BRAINS A CHANCE TO SHOW HE'S REALLY CHANGED, BUT IT'S TWO-BRAINS!

[SQUEAK] FINE.

Dr. Two-Brains: REALLY?!

YOU MEAN IT?

OH, YOU WON'T REGRET THIS, WORD GIRL, I PROMISE!

OH, YOU ARE GOING TO BE AMAZED.

YOU'LL BE SO PROUD OF ME.

YEAH, WELL, I HOPE SO.

JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE.

SURE.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

SEE YOU IN A FEW!

UH, YOUR HENCHMEN!

WHOOPSIE.

[BEEPING] [HONKS HORN] [SQUEAKING] I KNOW, I KNOW.

I'LL TRY.

I'M JUST SO USED TO TREATING DR. TWO-BRAINS AS A VILLAIN.

IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY HARD TO TREAT HIM LIKE A FRIEND.

[DOOR OPENING] OH, HELLO!

UH, YOU GUYS LOOKS GREAT!

THANK YOU.

WELL, LET'S NOT STAND OUT HERE ON THE STEP.

COME ON IN.

CAN I TAKE YOUR C-- [SQUEAKING] OH, SORRY!

NO, NO.

THAT WAS MY BAD.

OF COURSE, IF YOU GO FOR A SUPERHERO'S CAPE, THEY'RE GONNA-- YEAH.

HUH.

NICE PLACE.

WELL, IT'S A PLACE TO HANG MY LAB COAT.

I'VE BEEN WANTING TO REDO THE KITCHEN.

NO.

IT'S REALLY NICE.

I NEVER REALLY, UH... OK!

THAT'S IT!

SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S JUST I WANTED TO SEE-- I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE, WORD GIRL!

WHO AM I KIDDING?

I'M WAY TOO EXCITED FOR SMALL TALK AND FINGER SANDWICHES!

YOU WANTED A SURPRISE?

WELL, YOU GOT ONE!

COME ON!

♪ DO DO DO DOO ♪ HEE HEE.

HEH.

YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS.

OK. YOU READY?

LOOK THROUGH THE TELESCOPE.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

UH, AN ASTEROID?

CLOSE.

A CHEESETEROID!

CHEESETEROID?

YES!

YES!

A GIGANTIC ASTEROID MADE ENTIRELY OF CHEESE, AND I DISCOVERED IT!

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS?!

IT MEANS I'LL NEVER NEED TO STEAL ANY MORE CHEESE EVER AGAIN!

SO I SOUPED-UP MY OLD CHEESE-SEIZER HERE TO DRAW THE CHEESETEROID INTO THE EARTH'S ORBIT.

THEN I BUILT THAT ROCKETSHIP OVER THERE AND EQUIPPED IT WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART HYDRAULIC CHEESE-BALLERS SO I CAN LAND RIGHT ON THE CHEESETEROID AND SCOOP UP ALL THE CHEESE!

HA HA HA!

WOW!

THAT CERTAINLY WOULD BE A VAST AMOUNT OF CHEESE.

HA HA HA!

WHAT?

VAST, YOU KNOW, LIKE REALLY BIG, OR A LARGE AMOUNT.

OH, YOU SAID IT, KID, AND IT SHOULD BE WITHIN RANGE ANY DAY NOW!

IN FACT--UH--OH.

WAIT A MINUTE.

UH-OH.

UH, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "UH-OH"?

HOW DID-- TELL ME!

NO, NO.

YOU'RE GONNA BE MAD.

I COULD GET VASTLY MORE MAD.

OK, OK. DID YOU EVER HAVE ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE YOU ACCIDENTALLY PUT A GIANT CHEESETEROID ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH EARTH?

WHAT?!

NO!

I NEVER HAD A DAY LIKE THAT!

ARE YOU SAYING IT'S GOING TO CRASH INTO US?

UH-HUH.

AND IT'LL TAKE OUT HALF THE CITY WHEN IT HITS.

WELL, WELL, CAN'T YOU STOP IT?

I MEAN CAN'T YOU, I DON'T KNOW, PUT THE CHEESE-SEIZER IN REVERSE OR SOMETHING?

OH, I GUESS I COULD IF I WANTED TO.

IF?!

HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY WAVER OVER SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

IT'S A SIMPLE QUESTION-- THE CHEESETEROID OR THE CITY?

WELL?

UM, I'M THINKING, I'M THINKING.

SEE, I'M OF TWO MINDS ABOUT THIS.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU CHANGED!

HEY.

I NEVER SAID I CHANGED.

TECHNICALLY.

IT WAS MY CHEESE SUPPLY THAT CHANGED.

ANYWAY, THERE ARE OTHER CITIES AROUND WITH BUILDINGS AND STUFF.

IT'S VAST!

AND IT'S WAVERING!

[WORD GIRL AND DR. TWO-BRAINS STRUGGLING] [SQUEAK] HEY!

GET OFF!

HENCHMEN, GET THIS MONKEY OFF OF ME!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THE ROCKETSHIP!

HA!

HA HA!

HA HA!

MMM, MMM, MMM!

PAH!

GOAT CHEESE?!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

OOH.

TOUGH BREAK.

IT'S THE ONLY KIND OF CHEESE HE DOESN'T LIKE.

MAY WE?

SURE, BUT, UH... WHAT--HIM?

I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING ANYWHERE FOR A WHILE.

Narrator: AND AS OUR HEROES AND THEIR HOSTS SIT DOWN TO A WELL-DESERVED FEAST, REMEMBER THERE'S NEVER A NEED TO WAVER OVER YOUR ENTERTAINMENT CHOICES WHEN YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH ANOTHER VASTLY ENTERTAINING EPISODE OF "WORD GIRL"!

♪ ♪ WORD GIRL ♪ Narrator: LISTEN FOR THE WORDS TRANCE AND RESIGN.

EARLY ONE MORNING-- [COUGH] UGH!

DARN SORE THROAT.

HEH.

WELL, JUST WATCH.

I THINK EVERYTHING WILL BE PRETTY CLEAR.

[COUGH] IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT, SIR?

OH, BETTER THAN JUST ALL RIGHT, LESLIE.

I'M RICH, BRILLIANT.

AND DOWNRIGHT GORGEOUS.

OF COURSE, SIR.

IT'S JUST THAT YOU WERE JUST STARING INTO THAT MIRROR LIKE YOU WERE IN SOME KIND OF TRANCE.

THIS IS NO MERE MIRROR, LESLIE.

I HOLD IN MY HAND THE INSPIRATION FOR MY LATEST INGENIOUS MIND-CONTROL PLOT TO TAKE OVER THE CITY AND MAKE BADILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

AND HOW WILL YOU DO THAT, SIR?

UH, HELLO?

BY USING MIND-CONTROL MIRRORS!

I'M GOING TO COVER THE ENTIRE CITY IN MIRRORS, SO THAT WHEN PEOPLE LOOK INTO THEM AND SEE ME, I CAN RIVET THEM WITH A HYPNOTIC STARE LIKE THIS!

AND TELL THEM EXACTLY WHAT I WANT THEM TO DO.

PEOPLE SEE THEMSELVES WHEN THEY LOOK IN A MIRROR, SIR, NOT YOU.

YOU KNOW, LESLIE, I'M NOT PAYING YOU TO STAND AROUND AND CHIT-CHAT.

UH, YOU ARE NOT PAYING ME AT ALL, SIR.

GOOD TO HEAR.

NOW, TIME TO PUT "OPERATION MARVELOUS MIRROR" IN MOTION.

NO.

YOU DON'T PAY ME, YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME, AND APPARENTLY YOU DON'T EVEN NEED ME.

A MONKEY COULD DO THIS JOB.

I'M SORRY, SIR, BUT YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE.

I RESIGN.

HA HA HA!

MWAH HA--OH.

OH, THIS IS TERRIBLE.

LOOK.

THERE'S A SMUDGE ON MY MIRROR.

Narrator: MEANWHILE, AT THE BOTSFORD HOME-- [COUGH] BECKY AND BOB-- [COUGH] UH, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

OH.

SORE THROAT.

IF IT GETS ANY WORSE, I MAY HAVE TO RESIGN.

OH!

[SQUEAK] GOOD QUESTION, BOB.

THE WORD RESIGN MEANS TO GIVE UP A JOB.

IN THIS CASE, OUR NARRATOR MEANS HE'S AFRAID THAT IF HIS VOICE DOESN'T GET BETTER HE MIGHT HAVE TO GIVE UP BEING OUR NARRATOR, WHICH IS WHY I'M GOING TO HELP HIM BY DOING THE NARRATION!

AND, SO, THE SMART AND PLUCKY BECKY DASHES OFF TO THE KITCHEN TO MAKE A SNACK, KNOWING PRECISELY JUST HOW MANY MINUTES SHE HAS BEFORE HER VERY FAVORITE-- HI, MR. BIG HERE.

LOOKING FOR A NEW CAREER THAT WILL FULFILL MY EVERY AMBITION?

WELL, LOOK NO FURTHER.

IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT I HAVE A "BIG" NEW PROJECT THAT I NEED HELP WITH!

SO HURRY OVER TO MY OFFICE TODAY FOR YOUR CHANCE TO BECOME THE NEXT... BIG... THING.

OR PERSON.

NO THINGS NEED APPLY.

[SQUEAKING] SHH!

TRYING TO WATCH TV HERE!

YOU EVER NOTICE HOW MAGIC PONY NEVER INTERRUPTS PRETTY PRINCESS OR ARGUES WITH HER?

I JUST THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL.

DON'T YOU?

[SQUEAK] YOU, YOU, AND YOU.

YOU'RE FIRED.

BUT WE HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED THESE JOB APPLICATIONS.

OUT, OUT!

HMM.

QUITE A RES-U-ME.

YEAH.

IT'S ALMOST CRIMINAL HOW MUCH CRIMINAL EXPERIENCE WE HAVE.

OH, PERFECT!

OH, AND BY THE WAY, YOU'LL BE WEARING THESE.

YOU THERE!

CONGRATULATIONS.

YOU GOT THE JOB, CHIPMUNK.

YOU KNOW, MY LAST ASSISTANT WAS SORT OF A NIT-PICKY KNOW-IT-ALL, ALWAYS CRITICIZING MY PLANS, NEVER AGREEING WITH ME, BUT I KNOW YOU WON'T BE THAT WAY.

HA HA HA!

NOW TELL ME TRUTHFULLY-- AM I THE BEST BOSS?

[SQUEAK] YES.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

AND ARE ALL OF MY MIND-CONTROL PLANS BRILLIANT?

[SQUEAK] THANK YOU.

Narrator: MEAN--[COUGH]--WHILE... [COUGHING] ["PRETTY PRINCESS" THEME PLAYING] BOB?

BOB!

UGH.

WHERE IS HE?

WE HAVE TO BE AT CITY HALL IN HALF AN HOUR TO RECEIVE THE KEY TO THE CITY...AGAIN.

HMM.

HE PROBABLY WENT AHEAD IN CASE I WAS LATE.

WHAT A PAL.

AS MAYOR, IT IS WITH GREAT GRATITUDE AND AFFECTION THAT I-- HUGGY?

THAT I PRESENT YOU WITH-- HUGGY?

WHERE IS HE?

UM, THAT I PRESENT YOU WITH YOGURT, DOUBLE-A BATTERI-- OH, WAIT.

UH, GROCERY LIST!

HOW DID THAT GET IN--I'M SORRY.

UM, I MEAN, THAT I PRESENT YOU THIS COVETED SEEK-- OH, BOY.

UH, COVETED "SKI TO THE CITY."

[CROWD MURMURING] SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S IN SOME SORT OF TRANCE.

UH, MORE LIKE SHE'S WORRIED ABOUT SOMETHING.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

ACTUALLY, YOU'RE BOTH RIGHT.

THE WORD "TRANCE" MEANS WHEN SOMEONE IS IN A SLEEP-LIKE STATE, LOOKING AS IF THEY WERE DAYDREAMING, HYPNOTIZED, OR LOST IN THOUGHT.

WHERE IN THE WORLD COULD HE BE?

BIG!

OH.

THIS PARK WILL BE THE PERFECT PLACE TO TEST OUT MY MARVELOUS MIRROR.

OK, MR. BIG.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

ME?

WELL, I'M SIMPLY JUST--OHH.

AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

DIDN'T YOU JUST ASK ME THAT?

OH, YOU MEAN MY NEW ASSISTANT.

WAIT.

YOUR NEW ASSISTANT?

Narrator: OH, NO!

IF ONLY WORD GIRL KNEW BOB WAS IN A TR-- [COUGH] IN A "TR"?

A TRAILER?

A TREE HOUSE?

A TRULY RIDICULOUS WIG?

A TRA-- [COUGHING] UGH.

IT'S NO USE.

MY THROAT, IT-- YOU KNOW, YOU'LL BE A LOT MORE HELP TO ALL OF US IF YOU DRINK SOME TEA WITH LEMON AND HONEY.

GOOD IDEA.

THANKS.

YEAH.

BIG?

BOB?

OHH.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

IT'S JUST NOT LIKE BOB TO LEAVE ME AND JOIN UP WITH MR. BIG.

WOW.

I WONDER WHY BOB IS SO UPSET WITH ME.

OH, LESLIE.

YOU'RE MR. BIG'S ASSISTANT.

EX-ASSISTANT.

HE NEVER LISTENED TO ME.

I HAD TO RESIGN.

YOU LOOK A LITTLE SAD ABOUT IT, LESLIE.

YEAH.

UHH.

YEAH, BUT IT'S GOOD THAT YOU QUIT WORKING FOR MR. BIG.

HE'S GOT SOME NEW MIND-CONTROL SCHEME, AND WHATEV-- OH, YEAH, I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT.

YOU DO?

W-WELL, COULD YOU HELP ME?

YOU MEAN, LIKE BE YOUR SIDEKICK?

OH, NO, NOT AT ALL.

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT?

WELL, I DON'T REALLY NEED-- ADMINISTRATIVE ANALYST?

NO.

I WASN'T-- WOULD I GET A COOL COSTUME THAT HIDES MY TRUE IDENTITY FROM THE PUBLIC?

UH, SURE.

GREAT.

NOT EXACTLY WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR.

OH, NO!

YOU'RE RIGHT!

ALL THE WINDOWS ON THOSE OFFICE BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH MIRRORS!

AND LOOK ON THAT ROOFTOP!

MR. BIG!

JUST WHERE I SAID HE'D BE.

BOY, YOU REALLY DO KNOW HIM, DON'T YOU?

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE.

THIS IS ONE OF MY MOST BRILLIANT MIND-CONTROL SCHEMES, RIGHT?

[SQUEAK] THANK YOU.

AND THANKS TO OPERATION MARVELOUS MIRROR, SOON, I WILL CONTROL THE WHOLE CITY, RIGHT?

THEN WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?!

WHY DIDN'T I LISTEN TO LESLIE?

SHE TOLD ME THIS WOULDN'T WORK.

WHAT A FOOL I AM.

DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME?

[SQUEAK] WAIT A MINUTE.

ALWAYS AGREEING?

THAT'S IT!

BIG'S CONTROLLING HIS MIND.

OF COURSE!

I'M GOING IN!

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, MR. BIG!

YOU COULD HAVE SNUCK UP ON HIM AND TAKEN HIM BY SURPRISE.

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH SMARTER.

I GOT TO TELL YOU, I REALLY LIKE YOUR NEW SIDEKICK'S STYLE.

SHE TELLS YOU THE TRUTH EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT.

I USED TO HAVE AN ASSISTANT LIKE THAT.

NOW ALL I'VE GOT IS THIS USELESS GUY.

JUST AGREES WITH EVERYTHING I SAY LIKE THIS STUPID MIRROR IDEA.

WELL, WE COULD TRADE.

I'M SORT OF PARTIAL TO MONKEYS.

YOU MEAN, CHIPMUNKS.

NO.

MONKEYS.

REALLY?

[SQUEAK] BUT YOU'D HAVE TO UNZAP HIS MIND.

I MEAN, WHO WANTS SOMEONE IN A TRANCE, WHO JUST AGREES WITH YOU ALL THE TIME?

DEAL?

I AGREE.

DEAL!

[SQUEAKING] HE SAID HE RESIGNS.

AND HERE'S YOUR NEW NEW ASSISTANT.

LESLIE?!

HA HA HA!

YOU WERE RIGHT.

OPERATION MARVELOUS MIRROR IS A FAILURE.

WHAT A SURPRISE, SIR.

HOWEVER, I IMAGINE ALL THESE MIRRORS REFLECTING THE SUN ARE MAKING IT INCREDIBLY HOT DOWN THERE.

PERHAPS YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERYONE'S HEAT-INDUCED TRANCES TO CONTROL THEIR MINDS WITH-- I DON'T THINK SO, BIG!

DID YOU JUST CONTRADICT MY BOSS?!

HA!

HEE!

AHH!

WELCOME BACK, LESLIE!

AHH.

AHH.

[SQUEAKING] [SCREECH] AHH.

AHH.

[HUGGY SQUEAKS] YOU'RE BOTH UNDER ARREST FOR TRYING TO MIND-CONTROL THE WHOLE CITY AND FOR PUTTING BO--ER, I MEAN, THAT CHIPMUNKY INTO A TRANCE.

LESLIE, HOLD MY CALLS FOR ABOUT 3 TO 5 YEARS.

I MEAN, THAT IS, IF YOU THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

WELL, LESLIE, AT LEAST IT LOOKS LIKE HE'S FINALLY GOING TO LISTEN TO YOU.

WHAT AM I SAYING?

OF COURSE YOU THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA!

IT'S MINE!

[SIGH] HEY, BOB.

I'M SORRY I DIDN'T LISTEN TO YOU WHEN YOU WERE TRYING TO WARN ME ABOUT MR. BIG.

I NEVER WANT YOU TO JUST BE MY YES-MAN.

I MEAN, YES-MONKEY.

I LIKE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE.

Narrator: AND SO ONCE AGAIN-- HEY.

YOUR VOICE, IT'S ALL BETTER!

YES!

THANKS TO YOUR MARVELOUS HONEY AND LEMON TEA REMEDY.

GLAD THAT WORKED OUT!

AND SO ONCE AGAIN WORD GIRL IS TRIUMPHANT, SAVING THE CITY FROM MR. BIG, BOB FROM HIS TRANCE AND EVEN ME FROM HAVING TO RESIGN.
