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]
VioletTHANK YOOUUU! THAANK YOOOOUUUU!
JJudge
[trying to calm her down] Thank you, Violet… very good, very good...
Violet
THANNK YOOOOOOUUUUU!
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...
...but I REFUSE to lose this contest to that-- that hunk of metal masquerading as a kitchen utensil! Robot--
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.]
Violet
Oh, is it time to go already?
Well then, I say, let’s get this party started! But first, I’d like to announce the grand prize. The student who earns the most points at the end of the day will win-- THIS! Authentic, super-deluxe teacher-only magic markers! Woo! [She pulls a package of magic markers from inside the trophy, and holds them up. Becky's eyes light up.]
[sighs] Only the teachers get those! Think of all the beautiful words I could write!
That’s the prize? You expect me to slave away in the direct sunlight to win some magical ink pens? [raises his hand] Mrs. Ripley? I- I’m afraid I’m unable to participate in your day of silly games. [He starts to walk away, but she jumps in front of him.]
Unable to participate? What’s the matter?
Uh… side ache. Yes, oh, my side. It aches.
Ohhh, I’m so sorry! Go to the nurse’s office immediately!
What’s the matter, Tobey? Afraid you won’t win?
What? O- Of course I can win if I wanted to, I just don’t want to.
SScoops
It’s okay if you don’t win, you know. I’m just looking forward to having a good time with my friends.
Violet
Yeah, don’t be afraid. Just playing the games is fun.
I’m in it for the markers.
Well, thank you all for sharing! Now before I go, let me assure you I am stronger, faster, and just generally better than all of you. I have the agility of a cougar and the strength of a lion, goodbye. [As he walks off, he trips on something and hits the ground. The kids laugh, causing him to get angry.] Fine. I’ll take part in the competition, but mark my words, I’m going to win those markers, not because I want them, but to show you that I, Tobey, am a winner! Ha-ha-ha-ha! And-- I’ll be right back.
DMr. Dudley
Okay, kids. Will the contest finalists line up in the front of the class-- the front is up here-- in front of me? Okay, uh, don’t touch anything on Mr. Dudley’s desk. Settle down. Everyone’s costume looks so good-- not as good as my costume, but alas, there can only be one winner. And the winner is-- [does a pretend drum roll with his fingers]
[to himself] Me, me, let it be me!
DMr. Dudley
Violet, as WordGirl!
Violet
I won?! Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[Mr. Dudley bring over a ribbon and pins it on her outfit.]
DMr. Dudley
Here you go. Uh-- I’m gonna need that back later on…
Wh-- di-- Mr. Dudley, she cheated! Everyone knows she’s really WordGirl, she had that outfit in her closet!
DMr. Dudley
Tobey? Do we need to call your mother?
No-- that’s quite alright. I’ll manage. [to himself] ...manage to ruin Halloween for everyone, that is! He-heh-heh-heh-ha-ha-ha! [he stops laughing as he realizes that everyone is staring at him.]
[last lines of the series]
Violet
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?
Violet
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!
Violet
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?
Violet
Nah… but people always say that in the movies, and I just wanted to see how it sounded!
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.]
Violet
[last lines] Since we’re coming clean, I always knew you were a monkey.
