Ms. RipleyWell 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.]
Ms. Ripley
Unable to participate? What’s the matter?
Uh… side ache. Yes, oh, my side. It aches.
Ms. Ripley
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.
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.
Ms. Ripley
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!
[she and Huggy show up] Not so fast there, Tobey!
Why, WordGirl! What a pleasant surprise. What are you doing here?
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!
Tell me, Tobey, was your victory today authentic, or did you cheat during the competition? [She grabs the markers from him]
Ms. Ripley
[gasps] WordGirl!
Why, that’s absurd! Of course I didn’t cheat.
Then how do you explain your sudden athletic ability?
[Huggy grabs the remote from his pants pocket, and presses a button.]
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.
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.]
Ms. Ripley
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!
I’ll be sure Becky gets her grand prize markers. In fact, I’ll deliver them to her personally!
Ms. Ripley
[to Tobey] And as for you…
Ms. Ripley
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!
