QMs. Question
Looking for me, WordGirl?
QMs. Question
Expecting someone else?
Well, yes, actually. Tobey, you know, the kid who makes these robots.
QMs. Question
Do you think Tobey is the only villain who can control his robots?
What are you up to, Ms. Question?
QMs. 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?
QMs. Question
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?
CCitizen
Yes, please. I want to go to the beach.
QMs. Question
Well, then let's play riddle or stranded. What has rings but no fingers?
CCitizen
I have no idea. What has rings but no fingers?
QMs. Question
A telephone! It rings but has no fingers! Now guess who doesn't get to cross the bridge?
CCitizen
Me? But I'll be stranded here.
QMs. Question
Hmm. And won't that be annoying?! Hey, Metal Face, what do we do to people who don't know the answer?
Okay, Ms. Question. I've got the answer to your riddle.
QMs. Question
Huh. You do? Care to lay it on me? Ha, ha? How much you want ro be she's wrong?
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!
QMs. Question
How could you have figure out the most difficult riddle? What is this world coming to?!
A deal's a deal, Ms. Question. You've been defeated. Now give me my sidekick back.
QMs. Question
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?
QMs. Question
Whoa! What is this?
QMs. Question
Can you put me down?!
Now who's stranded? Have fun waiting for the police! Come on, Huggy. We've got a beach to get to!
[WordGirl and Huggy arrive back after defeating Tobey's robots]
Great work, Captain Huggy Face!
It was all his fault! I was trying to save you!
I didn't have anything to do with...
SScoops
Please. I'm a journalist.
How'd I do with the saving?
WordGirl: Ahem. Well, boys, I think we all earned a valuable lesson here today, didn't we?
If you spin robots around, they get dizzy just like people. A definite flaw in my design, I agree.
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!
[Mrs. McCallister opens the library door angrily as she walks up to 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!
[arrives] So, uh, WordGirl-- WordGirl?
[WordGirl gets ready to fly off with Huggy]
[Miss Power is ready to take Becky's mom to prison]
Time to go to prison, District Attorney Botsford.
[gasps] Prison? But, I'm in charged.
Disagreeing with me, now let's go.
You're not just harsh lady, you're out of control!
Wrong! You need to be taught a lesson about who's really in charge. ME! [furiously takes away Becky's mom]
Hun! Hun! Time to spring into action! TJ!
Go around the house and collect these things.
Yes, sir! [takes his dad's paper with him] And now if you'll excuse me, now it's time to put on my danger pants. [dances]
Come on, Bob! I think it's time we taught Miss Power a lesson. [Bob squeaks] Yeah, I know she's more powerful than me- [Bob puts his hand on her] Hey look, if you're trying to encourage me, you're not doing a great job. [Bob walks away with her] Wait? Where are we going? Bob!
[Miss Power hosts her news show on TV]
Citizens of Planet Earth, guess what? Someone new is in charge. Me.
MMan
Hey, what if we don't want you?
You'll get to go to jail.
MMan
[gets taken away by Captain Giggle Cheeks] Hey!
You guys aren't really smart enough to be running things on your own. You'll need a new leader. And guess who that is. I nominate me.
WWoman
We don't need a new leader. We have WordGirl! She can stop you.
[laughs] No, she can't. I defeated WordGirl! And now this planet is mine! And if you don't like that, well, there's a nice, cozy jail cell for you. Just ask District Attorney Botsford.
[in jail] Okay everybody. Here's the thing. We are in a prison and there is no way that I'm spending the rest of my life here because some power hungry eating alien decides she wants to take over the Earth!
CChuck
Yeah? But what could we do?
This lady's even more powerful than WordGirl!
[all villains are talking at once]
Oh, I think I know a man with a plan [laughs] and a boy with a ploy. [laughs]
GMGranny May
Oh! Is that one of those newfangled gadgets kids are always playing?
Uh, a ploy is a trick or a clever way of doing something!
GMGranny May
Oh! You mean, like when I pretend to be a harmless old lady just so I can fool some sucker I want to rob? [laughs]
Exactly. That's a ploy you use.
GMGranny May
Mmm-hm, we could use one of those right now.
Oh, yeah, but remember, I've got a couple of guys in my back pocket. But we don't have pockets because we're in jail! They don't let you have pockets because it might hold a weapon.
[WordGirl finally gets ready to defeat Miss Power]
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!
So you're saying I'm going to be triumphant?
Yeah. Yes, that's right you're going to be triumphant. Ha!
I think so too. You know why? Because being triumphant actually means winning!
BThe Butcher
[offscreen] Oh yeah it does! WordGirl taught me that just last week!
And that's the second ploy that Huggy taught me I got you to admit defeat using the power of words!
And she wasn't even harsh about it!
[the villians cheer]
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.
[offscreen] Stop! Stop! We're coming out!
Ok, we'll stop. Just keep your hands where we can see them.
[WordGirl uses her shiny teeth to shine the villains]
[appears on TV] This arrest was brought to you by Seymour Smooth Brand Teeth Whitener.
[WordGirl is trapped inside Tobey's robot]
Oh, no! I think this supersuit is out of control!
[pops up on the screen] Actually, the suit is perfectly in control. My control.
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 robot flies and lands in front of Tobey's house]
Tobey, I'm not one of your robots.
Really? Let me try something? [presses a button to make WordGirl robot dance]
[laughs] I can control your every movement!
You're not going to get away with this, 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]
