WordGirl quotes from WordGirl

WordGirl

Huggy, we did it!

Tobey

Well, I must say we make quite a good team. I'm smart, handsome, a brilliant inventor, and, if I do say so myself, quite independent.

Tobey! Have you been causing trouble with your robots again?

Tobey

Oh, Mother, what a pleasant surprise.

[grabs Tobey's ear] You're coming with me! [walks away with Tobey]

Tobey

Ow. Ow, ow, ow! Ow! Owww! [walks off camera and his head reappears] We should work together again! Call me! Ow! Mom! [his mom drags him off]

WordGirl

Sorry, Tobey, no can do. My devoted sidekick and I are already the perfect team.

Looking for me, WordGirl?

WordGirl

Ms. Question?!

Expecting someone else?

WordGirl

Well, yes, actually. Tobey, you know, the kid who makes these robots.

Do you think Tobey is the only villain who can control his robots?

WordGirl

What are you up to, Ms. Question?

Isn't it obvious? People want to cross the bridge, don't they, to get to the beach? And isn't this the perfect place to play a devious game I call riddle or stranded?

WordGirl

Riddle or Stranded?

I'll ask each driver a riddle, and if they answer it correctly, they can go to the beach, but if they get wrong, they'll be stranded here on the bridge! Ha, ha? Ha, ha, ha? Say there, Citizen, want to cross the bridge?

Yes, please. I want to go to the beach.

Well, then let's play riddle or stranded. What has rings but no fingers?

I have no idea. What has rings but no fingers?

A telephone! It rings but has no fingers! Now guess who doesn't get to cross the bridge?

Me? But I'll be stranded here.

Hmm. And won't that be annoying?! Hey, Metal Face, what do we do to people who don't know the answer?

WordGirl

Okay, Ms. Question. I've got the answer to your riddle.

Huh. You do? Care to lay it on me? Ha, ha? How much you want ro be she's wrong?

WordGirl

Okay. What goes on 4 legs in the morning, 2 at noon, and 3 at night? The answer is a person! A baby crawls on 4 legs when they're small, and a person walks on two legs when they grow up. But when people get older, sometimes they use a cane, or third leg!

How could you have figure out the most difficult riddle? What is this world coming to?!

WordGirl

A deal's a deal, Ms. Question. You've been defeated. Now give me my sidekick back.

Did you really think I would hold up my end of the bargain? Aren't I a villain? Isn't being devious and untrustworthy part of my job description?! So see you next time?

WordGirl

I don't think so! Hyah!

Whoa! What is this?

WordGirl

Come here, you!

Can you put me down?!

WordGirl

Now who's stranded? Have fun waiting for the police! Come on, Huggy. We've got a beach to get to!

WordGirl

Great work, Captain Huggy Face!

TJ

It was all his fault! I was trying to save you!

Tobey

I didn't have anything to do with...

Please. I'm a journalist.

TJ

How'd I do with the saving?

Tobey

If you spin robots around, they get dizzy just like people. A definite flaw in my design, I agree.

WordGirl

Must fix that. Uh, I was thinking more like don't waste squabbling over silly, unimportant things. Now why don't you all try something up for the contest? Writing about an experience is fine, but using your imagination can be equally amazing. And also, robots crimes are not okay!

Tobey

Oh. Ha, ha! Hello, Mother. You see, I was just entering a contest. [TJ runs off as Mrs. McCallister grabs Tobey] Ow, ow, ow, ow! [walking away with his mom] WordGirl, maybe we can still get sushi sometime-- [his mom pinches him in the ear] Ow! Ow! Mom! Ow!

TJ

[arrives] So, uh, WordGirl-- WordGirl?

Where'd she go?!

WordGirl

Like my new ploy? Huggy taught it to me. Here's how it goes, I don't accept your bullying behavior and you lose all of your power!

You're not going to win because I always win and I'm never wrong!

WordGirl

So you're saying I'm going to be triumphant?

Yeah. Yes, that's right you're going to be triumphant. Ha!

WordGirl

I think so too. You know why? Because being triumphant actually means winning!

What? No it doesn't.

[offscreen] Oh yeah it does! WordGirl taught me that just last week!

WordGirl

And that's the second ploy that Huggy taught me I got you to admit defeat using the power of words!

Sally

And she wasn't even harsh about it!

No!

WordGirl

Yep!

No! [flies off after WordGirl defeated her] I'm not losing, I don't lose. If I quit, I won't lose, so there, can't beat me, won't beat me, never!

So, WordGirl. It looks like you're finally trapped. Ha ha ha! We got you after all.

WordGirl

[offscreen] Stop! Stop! We're coming out!

Ok, we'll stop. Just keep your hands where we can see them.

WordGirl

[appears on TV] This arrest was brought to you by Seymour Smooth Brand Teeth Whitener.

WordGirl

Oh, no! I think this supersuit is out of control!

Tobey

[pops up on the screen] Actually, the suit is perfectly in control. My control.

WordGirl

Tobey!

Tobey

Yes, WordGirl! I brainstormed the perfect plan. I tricked Johnson into letting me build that gadget, and now that you're inside it, I have full control over you. Watch this!

WordGirl

Tobey, I'm not one of your robots.

Tobey

Really? Let me try something? [presses a button to make WordGirl robot dance]

WordGirl

Hey! Stop that!

Tobey

[laughs] I can control your every movement!

WordGirl

You're not going to get away with this, Tobey.

Tobey

Oh, yes, I am. [cut to outside] In fact, we're going to get away together! [WordGirl robot grabs him] Oh, thank you, WordGirl. [he and his robot fly off]

WordGirl

Stop right now, Tobey, and return your robot to its, uh... robot garage? Where do you keep your robots?

Tobey

Mind your own business, WordGirl! This is between my robot and the innocent stuff he's wrecking.

WordGirl

I said, stop right there, Tobey. Hello?

Tobey

WordGirl. Just the person I was thinking of... I mean, boo, it's word girl. I'm not really, really happy to see you. How have you been, by the way?

WordGirl

I'm here to tell you that your robots ruined another scout's tree, so I'm not going to let you win a key to the city by cheating.

Tobey

[sighs] Oh! This is a little hard for me to do, given my motivation for winning this award, but ROBOTS ATTACK!
