[Tobey and WordGirl are still in the city playing Crash or Pie]
Well, after a strong rally by Tobey--
WordGirlAnd a healthy dose of cheating!
--we're tied at 6! Time for... the lightning round! You each take a turn giving me a synonym for the lightning word! The first person to give a wrong word loses! We start with WordGirl. Are you ready?
WordGirl
Oh, yeah!
Okay, here we go! The lightning word is... enormous!
WordGirl
Big.
WordGirl
Jumbo.
WordGirl
Gargantuan!
WordGirl
Mammoth!
[struggling to come up with another word] Uh... giant!
WordGirl
Gigantic!
[still struggling] Uh... Uhh... Unsmall!
WordGirl
What?
WordGirl
That's not a word!
WordGirl
Is not!
WordGirl
Is not!
WordGirl
IS NOT!
Whoa, stop! When there's an argument, it's up to the judge to decide who's right.
WordGirl
Ah, fine.
The fate of the city hangs in the balance! What will the brilliant and handsome judge decide?
Will he side with WordGirl, and save the city? Or will he side with Tobey, and watch it be destroyed? Stay tuned and find out! [pause] Um... what was the argument about again?
WordGirl
Well, the original word was enormous, and Tobey's answer was unsmall!
Oh, that's not a word. WordGirl wins!
WordGirl
Ha! Well, Tobey, looks like it's time to shut down your [does air quotes] "unsmall" friends!
Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot to tell you something... [holds his remote in front of him and presses the button]
WordGirl
Hey!
...I'm a very sore loser! [WordGirl flies up and prepares to battle the robots, but they all abruptly shut down and she returns to the podium] What did you do?!
WordGirl
I have no idea.
[a whistle is heard nearby, both Tobey and WordGirl look over and see Huggy holding the remote control that he got from the babysitter, one that shuts down the robots]
WordGirl
Great job, Huggy!
Give me that! [jumps Huggy, and they get into a tug of war over the remote. He finally gets it from him] A-HA! [he prepares to start up the robots again, when a car pulls up. His mother steps out and walks toward him.] Oh, my. [clears throat] Uh, hi Mom! Uh, you look great! Did you have a nice trip? [notices her looking at all the robots lying around] What? Oh--these! These aren’t mine. I--I was just out for a walk… minding my own busi--- [his babysitter, who had come along with Mrs. McCallister, dangles the hologram machine in front of him.] ---ness… uh, OK… these are mine, but I wasn’t going to-- uh-- oh, forget it. [his mother grabs him by the ear and drags him away] Ow, ow, ow!
[Dr. Two-Brains and his henchman are getting shrunk]
Look! LOOK! The cheese is getting even bigger! BIGGER! BIGGER! Oh, my plan is working beyond my wildest dreams! [pause] Uh, something is not right here. [WordGirl scoops them up in a jar.]
UHUnnamed henchman
I think we’ve been shrunk!
Shrunk? Ahh! We’ve been shrunk! You’ll never take me, WordGirl!
WordGirl
Ah, put a lid on it! [She puts a lid on the jar with air holes in it.]
WordGirl
Huggy, catch! [Throws the jar to Huggy, who catches it.]
[WordGirl returns carrying the hand of the robot.]
Plagued by malfunction! Okay, fine, well you won’t solve my next riddle so easily!
WordGirl
Are you gonna use the doll one now?
No! Maybe. Yes. But it won’t matter! You’ll taste the bitter taste of def-- [The changing room door flies open, and Claire McCallister stands there towering over Tobey.] Feat. And I, for one, will be writing to the management. This, uh, mannequin arm has been lying here just waiting for someone to trip over. Uh, ready to go? Good! Because this shopping trip is taking a lot longer than you promised! Or-- I suppose, if you had just a few more things you wanted to try on-- a few more… [Claire grabs Tobey by the ear and drags him off.] Ow, ow-ow-ow-OW!
[Mrs. McCallister is standing in line, still reading her magazine.]
WordGirl
[offscreen] Excuse me. Mrs. McCallister? [Mrs. McCallister looks at Tobey, standing on a severed robot hand] Do I even need to say anything?
[Mrs. McCallister grabs Tobey by the ear and leads him off. Tobey drops the book.]
[Dr. Two-Brains and Tobey are still bickering below them.]
Oh please, I did ninety percent of the work! So much for an equal collaboration!
You’re right, child, it wasn’t equal, because I did all of-- [a security person walks past them, holding Bootsy. Two-Brains freaks out, tossing the remote which Tobey catches.] AHHHH! A CAT!
Oh, are we afraid of a little cat? A little bitty kitty cat?! [he programs Mousezilla to flex his tail, pick up Bootsy and carry the cat back to him. Tobey sets the remote down on the tail, and holds Bootsy up in front of Two-Brains, taunting him.] Kitty, kitty, kitty!
Keep away, keep away! [Huggy jumps onto the back of Mousezilla and slides down the tail, He grabs the remote, unnoticed] Oh yeah, well at least I don’t love WordGirl, like you do!
Well, you’re afraid of a little kitty, kitty kitty! Meow, meow, meow!
[singing] Dr. Two-Brains, he sees the kitty and he goes "eek"--
[Huggy looks at the remote, and presses a button which releases WordGirl from the whiskers.]
WordGirl
Great job, Huggy! Let’s see if this mouse can swim! HYAH! [She picks it up by the whisker and heaves it far out into the ocean. Down on the ground, Tobey is still tormenting Two-Brains, oblivious as to what has happened.]
[singing] Meow, meow meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow MEOW!
[singing to the tune of "Here comes the bride"] Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love--
[WordGirl whisks them both into the back of police paddy wagon]
That’s it-- our collaboration is OVER!
And why are we in handcuffs?
[The barred doors closes to the back of the paddy wagon, and it starts to drive away. WordGirl is holding Bootsy.]
TBDr. Two-Brains and Tobey
Whoops.
JJudge
First, I want to thank all the contestants for their wonderful inventions. There are no losers here, only kids who didn’t win. Now the winner of this year’s Young Inventor’s Challenge and Friendly Competition is-- the apple corer and egg slicer in one! [He presents the trophy to Violet]
THANK YOOUUU! THAANK YOOOOUUUU!
JJudge
[trying to calm her down] Thank you, Violet… very good, very good...
Hold on, stop! [clears throat and tries to gather himself] Heh-heh, there-- there must be some mistake. Did you guys forget about my robot?
JJudge
No. Don’t get us wrong, your robot is pretty amazing. But the apple corer and egg slicer in one? Whoa-oh-oh! It’s so practical!
[getting more irate by the second] Eh--er--- this is ridiculous! There is no way that thing is better than my robot!
JJudge
Oh, sure it is! Okay, let’s say you got two bags-- one is full of apples, and one is full of eggs…
FORGET THE APPLES AND EGGS!
JJudge
I’m sorry, Tobey… I just don’t think we can.
[Violet holds up a sliced apple for the judge. WordGirl and Huggy arrive.]
That-- is--- IT! I’ve tried to be good...
WordGirl
Uh-oh.
...but I REFUSE to lose this contest to that-- that hunk of metal masquerading as a kitchen utensil! Robot--
WordGirl
Wait for it…
WordGirl
And, there it is. [flies off with Huggy]
[Everyone screams flees from the stage except for Violet, who walks off slowly by herself. One of the robot’s feet lands beside her.]
Oh, is it time to go already?
And now, it is with great pleasure that I present to Tobey McCallister the grand prize!
[standing beside Ms. Ripley and the other kids clap] I just want to say to all of the people who doubted me… I WIN! Because I’m better than all of you! At winning! Ha-ha! Fools! Fools!
WordGirl
[she and Huggy show up] Not so fast there, Tobey!
Why, WordGirl! What a pleasant surprise. What are you doing here?
WordGirl
I just happened to be flying by the neighborhood, searching for crime to fight… yeah.
Hmm. Too bad you weren’t here a few minutes ago. You missed my spectacular performance. See? [holds up the markers] I won the grand prize!
WordGirl
Tell me, Tobey, was your victory today authentic, or did you cheat during the competition? [She grabs the markers from him]
Why, that’s absurd! Of course I didn’t cheat.
WordGirl
Then how do you explain your sudden athletic ability?
[Huggy grabs the remote from his pants pocket, and presses a button.]
WordGirl
What if I said you used a robot-- a robot that looks just like you?
RTRobo-Tobey
[walks over to them and everyone gasps] Prepare to lose.
WordGirl
Prepare to lose is right, Tobey! Since Tobey cheated, these magic markers belong to whoever finished second in the competition.
[tackles Huggy, and takes the remote back from him] I’ve been embarrassed once today, WordGirl, and it’s not going to happen again! [He presses a button on the remote, and Robo-Tobey launches itself at her. The markers go flying. Then Robo-Tobey lassos her with a rope.]
Young man! Your performance in today’s competition was not authentic! You cheated! Which means you are disqualified! Therefore, the winner of field day is-- Becky Botsford!
WordGirl
I’ll be sure Becky gets her grand prize markers. In fact, I’ll deliver them to her personally!
[to Tobey] And as for you…
I think we’ll be telling your mother about your behavior today!
No-- please-- I’ll do whatever you want! 50 push-ups! 100 squat-thrusts! Just don’t tell mother!
EEileen
WordGirl’s not so gweat! She’s just a nuisance! And it’s not even her birthday! It’s MY birthday! Mine! MINE! [She continues to grow as she gets angry.] MINE! MY PARTY! MY FRIENDS! MY CAKE! ALL MINE! MINE! MINE!
[Becky zips off as she watches Eileen grow. Eileen grabs three of the girls in one hand, and grabs Violet, TJ and Bob in the other. WordGirl flies out of the house and hovers nearby.]
WordGirl
Word UP!
[Eileen’s head pushes off the upper floor of the house. WordGirl zips over to catch it.]
CCommissioner
And a young girl... who fits the profile... of course! [to WordGirl] Freeze, WordGirl! Don’t make a move!
WordGirl
Huh?
CCommissioner
Same goes for you, bunny rabbit! [Huggy groans.] Both of you-- empty your pockets!
[Huggy pulls out a banana and drops it, followed by a brush, a rubber chicken, and a stick with WordGirl’s head on it. Then he pulls out a traffic cone and a lobster.]
CCommissioner
Okay... that's a little odd, but-- you’re clean. How about you, WordGirl?
WordGirl
My-- my pockets? But-- all I have in my pocket is-- this evidence! [She holds up the Penelope Pony figurine. The commissioner and the other officers gasp.] What? Oh-- oh, you think I-- because I had this in my-- no, no, no, no, no. Listen, this is seriously the funniest story...
[Eileen looks through the door with an evil grin.]
CCommissioner
I don’t think I want to hear any more of your stories, WordGirl! You’re under arrest!
WordGirl
WHAT? No, you don’t understand!
WordGirl, this report was written by the police commissioner. It says the doll thief was a little girl. Tell me, are you a little girl?
WordGirl
Uh, [clearing throat] yes I am.
[The observers gasp.]
Oh. Well, little girl, this report also says that the doll thief had super strength-- do you have super strength?
WordGirl
Yes I do.
[More gasps, and the judge visibly reacts to her statement.]
Interesting, and didn't the police find THIS doll in your pocket?
WordGirl
[panicking] I was only holding it as evidence! I was helping to solve the crime!
But isn’t it true that you LOVE the Pretty Princess Magic Pony Power Hour?
[She holds the figurine in WordGirl’s face. After a long dramatic pause, WordGirl answers.]
WordGirl
Yes, I DO love it! I love it more than ANYTHING!
WordGirl
Stop right there, Smooth!
WordGirl
Gleaming smile, Huggy!
WordGirl
Ugh. We're stuck in a cacoon of hair gel.
That's right, WordGirl. I wish I could stick around, but I have to go spend the town's money. Ha, ha! Maybe I'll buy a gold pool for my new mansion. Ha, ha, ha!
Seymour Orlando Smooth, welcome to the show. What would you say if I told you I had the last dollar in town? And it could be-- Yeah--yours.
Hmm. Okay, okay. I'll play along. How do I get the last dollar?
All you have to do is give me, TJ Botsford, one more wish.
Well, my bright young friend, you are in luck. Because today, and today only, I'm granting wishes for the low, low cost of $1.00.
It's a deal! Here's my wish. That you set WordGirl and Captain Huggyface free.
Oh. Hmm. Oh, I don't know.
Oh! All right. Wish granted.
WordGirl
Take that, Seymour!
WordGirl
Those handcuffs are the only kind of bracelets you'll be wearing for a while.
Handcuffs! Bracelets! Good one, WordGirl.
WordGirl
Wow. Thanks, TJ. And we couldn't have gotten this villain You really had him hoodwinked. And here's your birthday money back. [Hands TJ his birthday money]
How did you know about my birthday money, WordGirl?
WordGirl
No time to answer, helpful friend. Huggy and I have to go... Somewhere... Now!
[On the street outside the studio, Seymour and the brothers are making their getaway.]
Ha ha! We’re getting away!
HHarry
In this really fun car! It’s got everything we wanted.
CChip
Yeah. And look at this! It even flies.
Right. It-- wait a minute. Cars don’t fly!
WordGirl
This one does! [She is below the car with Huggy, carrying it with her through the air.]
WordGirl. Well, I’m certainly not related to see you here.
WordGirl
You shouldn’t be. [Seymour repeatedly bangs his head against the windshield as WordGirl carries the car inside the walls of the prison.]: Narrator, tell them what they’ve won.
You’ve got it, WordGirl. For breaking the rules, you three cheaters have won a long vacation right here in not-so-luxurious county jail!
That’s right, jail, where you’ll spend your days and nights making license plates, eating disgusting food, and sleeping on some of the most uncomfortable beds in the world! Congratulations!
SBSeymour and the Brothers
[together] Thank you.
WordGirl
[to the warden] Our work here is done. Now, let’s go. Word UP! [as she leaves, Dr. Two-Brains walks over to the car and admires it. WordGirl picks up the car and carries it off.]
WordGirl
Tobey, what are you-- What are you wearing?
Oh, this outfit? It's cruise-wear. Pretty spiffy, huh?
WordGirl
Heh. Uh, well, it's--it's something. Is that your robot?
Chronos! You were going to be my first mate!
WordGirl
Your robot almost destroyed the whole city!
[pops up] That's it! You're grounded for a week!
WordGirl
You know, for someone who calls himself "The World's Most Formidable Boy Genius," your plans seem to go away a lot.
Fine. I admit, the robot didn't quite work as expected. I programmed him to stop time, but there must have been some glitch. All I wanted was to prolong summer. You know, forever?
WordGirl
Prolong summer?
Yes. If you don't know what prolong means I would happily define it for--
WordGirl
Prolong means to increase or extend. So if you tried to prolong summer vacation it means you wanted it to last longer, and I can't blame you for that.
You can't? You mean, you understand what I'm feeling?
WordGirl
I-I guess I do.
Since we're getting along so well, perhaps you'd like to come by for a little game of shuffleboard.
WordGirl
Wow, that sounds like a great time, but we've really got a lot to do. See you! [she and Huggy leave]
Call me! [Claire grabs Tobey by the ear and storms off with him]
Brothers, this is the greatest day of my life. We stole all the money in town and we got away from that pesky WordGirl. Ha, ha! I'm so happy, I can't stop smiling!
WordGirl
Now, Huggy!
Ahh! I've been blinded by my own bright, white smile! Don't worry, guys. My eyesight is slowly coming back, and I don't see WordGirl anywhere. Ha, ha, ha! I guess we got away! We're home free! We're home free!
WordGirl
You're home, alright, but you're not free.
You picked up my car and dropped us in jail, didn't you?
WordGirl
Pretty smooooth, huh, Seymour?
[grunts] Now let me guess. You're going to make us give back all the money we stole?
HHarry
Even the enromous amount of money in this suitcase?
Oh, heh! Let's just keep that suitcase closed, shall we?
WordGirl
Aha ha, ha, ha, ha! Hair gel and orange sport coats. I had a feeling there was no money in there.
Of course there wasn't. If I had an enomous amount of money, I wouldn't have had to steal money, now would I?
WordGirl
Well, Seymour, you may never get to spend an enermous amount of money, but there's one thing you will get to spend-- An enrmous amount of time in jail! Ha, ha! It's good.
