[first scene of the series]
NNarrator
Claire McCallister is about to go on a business trip, and leave a babysitter in charge of her son, the mischievous boy genius, Tobey.
MMrs. McCallister
Okay, just a few more things before I go.
TSTobey's Babysitter
Okay!
MMrs. McCallister
[handing her various remote control devices] Here's the homing device for Tobey's tracking bracelet, the button to short out his electrical defense shield, the nullifier to neutralize his giant attacking robots... what else, what else?
TSTobey's Babysitter
Wait! Giant attacking robots?
MMrs. McCallister
Okay, got to go! Bye! [walks out the door]
[Tobey's babysitter looks nervously over toward Tobey's room as she walks toward it, opens the door, and peers in, Tobey appears to be sitting on a rocking chair, reading a book about robots while he looks over at her and smiles, then goes back to reading, Tobey's babysitter closes the door, waits a few seconds, then barges in again]
TSTobey's Babysitter
Gotcha! [she sees that he is still sitting and reading] Oh! [giggles, then leaves closing the door]
[after she is gone, the image of Tobey flickers as the scene pans to the closet door as it opens, to reveal that Tobey is actually in there, and what the babysitter was seeing was a hologram projection and Tobey gives an evil laugh]
[Tobey and WordGirl are still in the city playing Crash or Pie]
NNarrator
Well, after a strong rally by Tobey--
And a healthy dose of cheating!
NNarrator
--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?
NNarrator
Okay, here we go! The lightning word is... enormous!
[struggling to come up with another word] Uh... giant!
[still struggling] Uh... Uhh... Unsmall!
NNarrator
Whoa, stop! When there's an argument, it's up to the judge to decide who's right.
NNarrator
The fate of the city hangs in the balance! What will the brilliant and handsome judge decide?
NNarrator
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?
Well, the original word was enormous, and Tobey's answer was unsmall!
NNarrator
Oh, that's not a word. WordGirl wins!
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]
...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?!
[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]
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!
[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!
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.
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.
NNarrator
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!
NNarrator
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.
[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.]
[last lines of the series]
Oh, hello, girl I don’t know! My name is Violet! Is this swing taken? [Becky looks stunned and Bob invites Violet to sit] Thank you kind monkey, sir! [sits next to Becky on the empty swing]
Uh, Violet? What are you doing?
Well… I just thought maybe it would be nice if you and I started over. So… I’m Violet. What is your name?
I’m Becky! [Violet gives her a look, expecting more] But… sometimes, I fight crime as WordGirl!
Wow! That’s some pretty amazing info to give someone you just met!
[jumping up from the swing] What can I say? I have a feeling you and I are going to be best friends! [Violet gets up from the swing, and gives Becky a big hug] Ahh… Are we really going to start our friendship over from the beginning?
Nah… but people always say that in the movies, and I just wanted to see how it sounded!
NNarrator
And so… once again, chaos is averted, and our hero is no longer forlorn. [Bob joins the two of them] Anyway… gather up your best friends, and join us next time for another amazing, colossal adventure of… WordGirl!
[A five-headed robot shows up. On top of it are Chuck, Granny May, Tobey, Dr. Two-Brains, and The Butcher. Becky looks over at Violet, and she gives her a nod. Becky changes into WordGirl and goes after the robot. Violet puts her hand onto Bob’s shoulder.]
[last lines] Since we’re coming clean, I always knew you were a monkey.
