02x23 - Dinosaur Train Submarine: Otto Opthalmosaurus/King Meets Crystal

[bunniefuu]

Hello, folks. It's me the conductor. Today the

Pteranodon family goes under the sea in a brand-new

Invention, the dinosaur train submarine, so come on along

With me on the dinosaur train.

All aboard!

I'll name you tiny, shiny, and don.

He didn't look anything like the rest ♪

What am I doing in a pteranodon nest?

Oh, this is your family, and I'm your mom. You may be

Different, but we're all creatures. All dinosaurs have

Different features. Come on, buddy. We'll take a vacation.

I'll get us a ticket at pteranodon station. We'll

Travel the world in sunshine and rain and meet all the

Tickets, tickets, please!

Well, top of the morning to you, pteranodon clan. You're up

Early.

Good morning, mr. Conductor!

Ah. Going under the sea, are we?

Yeah!

We're gonna visit our old friend elmer elasmosaurus!

What a coincidence, buddy. I have another old friend of

Yours along with me today--my nephew gilbert!

Gilbert?

Gilbert!

Good morning, everyone! Ooh!

May I please say it, uncle?

Ahem. Certainly, gilbert.

Hang on to your hats, folks!

We're heading out to sea!

Hooray!

Awk! I love the sea. It's so huge and blue and full of

Mysterious things.

So true, shiny, and so well-said.

Thank you, gilbert. Heh heh heh.

[Snorts] time tunnel approaching, and

This one's taking us under the sea!

Ooh! Ahh!

Look! There's elmer now!

Hi!

[Whistle blows]

Hey, buddy. Hey, tiny. Hello, pteranodon family.

Hi, elmer.

Elmer, this is our friend gilbert.

Hello. You must be a troodon, huh? I can tell by

Your great toe claws.

Excellent observation, my marine reptilian friend.

So, elmer, what are you elasmosaurus gonna do today?

Well, actually, we have to leave this area.

You have to leave?

Yeah. Not for long, but most of the fish we eat have moved

Away from here, and we have to follow them. Maybe you could

Follow us.

Could we? Maybe the train could ride alongside the

Elasmosaurus.

Well, unfortunately the underwater tunnel that brought

Us here doesn't go in the direction that the elasmosaurus

Family is going.

Aw!

Maybe we could all swim like elmer.

I'm not much of a swimmer, don.

Heh heh! Neither am i.

Hmm. It's too bad there isn't some kind of train that

Could travel through the water without tracks.

Ohh! Uncle conductor, I just got a great idea! What about

Our...

[Whispering] well, gilbert, it's a

Brand-new invention, but this might just be the perfect

Opportunity!

A brand-new invention. What is it?

They're gonna love it. Ha ha!

I think we have the solution to our underwater problem, and

It's another surprise. Come on, gilbert!

[Water bubbling]

Ohh!

Dinosaurs and pterosaurs, I give you the latest vehicle

From dinosaur train industries, the amazing dinosaur train

Submarine!

Yeah! Whoo-hoo!

All aboard!

[Ding] hi, elmer!

Hello, elmer! Can you hear us? Over.

I hear you loud and clear, don! Come on, everybody! Join

My family on our fishing trip.

Follow me!

This is so great. We get to follow along on an elasmosaurus

Fishing trip.

Yeah! In a submarine!

Ready, mr. Gilbert?

Aye, aye! Ready, mr.

Conductor!

Down submarine, ahead one quarter.

Ooh!

There's elmer and his family. Boy, they can swim

Really fast.

But I bet the submarine can go almost as fast as they can!

You want to see fast? Let's show him, uncle conductor.

Oh, I don't know, gilbert.

It is her maiden voyage, the first time she's ever gone out.

I ought to break her in gently.

Aw. Let's see how fast she can go! Ahead full!

Heh. Isn't this great, shiny?

Um, yes, gilbert. It's amazing.

We're well on our way to the elasmosaurus fishing grounds.

Are we there yet?

Well, don, even at this speed, it will take a little

While.

Maybe we could pass the time by singing a submarine song.

A submarine song?

Yeah. Join me in the chorus.

♪ Oh, once upon a time in the deep blue see

A sea-faring troodon said to me

If you want to see things you've never seen

Come on along with me in my green submarine

So many oceans to explore reptilians and plesiosaurs

Crocodilians and ichthyosaurs

Great big hungry carnivores rawwr ♪

[Laughter] ♪ we'll see things

We've never seen diving down

In our green submarine down in the sea so green

Deeper than we've ever been we'll see things

We've never seen diving down

In our green submarine ♪ hoo hoo! Oh. The green

Submarine.

[Cheering] ♪ la la loo ♪

Whoo-hoo! We made it to the fishing grounds. Now you can

Watch us fish! Notice how the elasmosaurus catch their fish

By swimming up really fast from deep down below.

You're right, gilbert.

It makes me wonder how fast and deep this submarine can go.

Faster and deeper than any fish?

Well, it's brand-new. We're not sure how deep it can go.

But it is designed to dive down deep just like the song

Says.

And there's an amazing creature that can also dive

Down really, really, deep, the ophthalmosaurus.

Whoa!

Do you know any?

Sure do. I'm good friends with otto ophthalmosaurus. He's

A speedy creature but very friendly.

Uncle conductor, why not test out the capabilities of

The dinosaur train submarine and visit otto?

Could we, mr. Conductor?

There's just one catch. Otto lives in the jurassic ocean.

We'd have to navigate our submarine through a

Little-known and little-used undersea time tunnel.

Undersea time tunnel? Wow!

Oh, oh! Can we try it, uncle conductor? Can we?

If it's ok with mr.

Pteranodon.

Well, as long as you think it's safe, mr. Conductor.

Absolutely safe.

[Ding ding] down submarine, ahead one half.

Aye, aye, skipper! That's submarine talk.

Elmer, we're taking a trip to the jurassic, but we'll be

Right back.

Ok. Have fun! See you!

All right, mr. Gilbert.

Steady as she goes. Let's take her in.

Eureka! That's otto! Punch it!

I mean, ahem, ahead full, mr.

Gilbert.

Aye, aye, sir! Ahead full!

Ahoy there, otto ophthalmosaurus!

Huh? Uh, who or what are you?

Otto, hi! It's me the conductor, and this is our

Brand-new dinosaur train submarine.

Oh. Hi, mr. Conductor. I didn't recognize you in that

Amazing submarine thingy.

Hi, otto. I'm buddy, and this is my sister tiny. Mind if

We compare features?

Sounds good, buddy.

Let's see. You have a long, narrow snout. Can you open it,

Please?

Yeah, sure. Ahh.

Almost no teeth.

Mr. Ophthalmosaurus, I'm don.

You've got really big eyes.

Yeah, I sure do, don. The better to see in the dark, and

Where I dive to find food, it gets really dark. You want to

Come down there and see for yourselves?

Yes!

Um, I'm not positive I want to dive down where it's really

Dark.

Oh, don't worry, shiny. The submarine can do it.

Sure. Everything will be ok, right, mr. Conductor?

Righty-o, mr. Pteranodon.

[Ding ding] dive! Dive!

What...was...that?

Uh, hmm. Possibly a giant squid.

Um, mr. Conductor, do you know where we are?

Well, certainly. Uh, we're, uh--ahem. Heh. Actually, folks,

We seem to be in an undersea cave.

[Gasp] on the positive side, it's a

Cave full of beautiful coral formations. Heh. They're called

Scleractinians.

Oh! I wondered where you'd gotten to. What are you doing

In this cave?

Oh, uh, just studying the coral, otto. Heh. Amazing.

How did you find us in all this darkness, otto?

Oh. Ophthalmosaurus have great eyesight. I was busy

Eating a giant squid, but then I came looking for you. Heh.

Would you like me to guide you back up to the time tunnel?

Yes! I mean, yes, please.

Thanks, otto!

Hi! Back already?

Yeah! We went all the way to the jurassic ocean. It was

Really deep and dark.

And we even saw a giant squid! We had such a great time!

[Watch chimes] oh. Speaking of time, we

Should be getting back to the undersea station and then to

Dry land.

Really? Hoora--oh. I mean, so soon?

Bye, elmer!

Bye!

See you next time!

Come on, everybody!

♪ Down in the sea so green deeper than we've ever been

We'll see things we've never seen

Diving down in our green submarine ♪

Oh, boy!

Ha ha ha!

Whoo!

Green submarine!

Hi, there. I'm dr. Scott the paleontologist.

And, this is otto ophthalmosaurus!

Ophthalmosaurus belongs to a group of marine reptiles called

Ichthyosaurs. Although they weren't dinosaurs, they lived

In the mesozoic era just like dinosaurs did, but how could

Such big animals swim so fast?

The body of ophthalmosaurus is shaped a lot like a tear-drop

On its side, rounded in the front and pointed in the back.

We call this shape streamlined because water

Flows over it easily. A streamlined body, combined with

A big, strong tail, allowed ophthalmosaurus to move really

Fast. A lot of big, fast-moving fishes alive today are

Streamlined, too, and for the same reason. Some sharks can

Swim more than miles an hour, and a large fish called

The marlin reaches speeds over miles an hour! That's as

Fast as a car goes on the highway!

[Horn honks] many living sharks

Share something else in common with ophthalmosaurus. They like

To dive way down deep in the ocean!

Point of fact. Dinosaurs did not ride in submarines. Thank

You.

Well, that's true, but ichthyosaurs like

Ophthalmosaurus certainly didn't need a submarine to swim fast

And dive down deep! Ok. Keep watching for more dinosaur

Discoveries!

Hello, folks. It's me the conductor. Today our rocking

Pal king meets another rocking cryolophosaurus named crystal,

So come on along with me on the dinosaur train. All aboard!

[Whistle blows]

Tickets, tickets, please! Hello, mr. Conductor.

Ah, troodon town. Going to the troodon town music

Festival? I remember years ago I heard an amazing singer there

For the first time, a completely original voice.

Who was it?

That young singer was none other than king cryolophosaurus!

Eh, did somebody say king and amazing and music festival?

King cryolophosaurus!

That's right, man. A hunka hunka burnin' love. Hoo-ha!

Why, king, I had no idea you were gonna sing at the festival.

You know, man, I been hanging out by myself in the

Jurassic antarctic for too long, so I decided to surprise

Everyone and just show up. I hope it's ok.

Ok?! It will be fantastic!

King, i...can't...wait.

Well, uh, thank you, little mama.

Oh! This will be a day your fans will never forget! Ooh! I

Almost forgot! Time tunnel!

Time tunnel approaching!

Next stop, troodon town in another part of the cretaceous

Time period.

Are you ok with the crowd, king?

Yeah, man. I used to get nervous singing in front of

Crowds, but I'm feeling better about it now. Buddy, I'm ready

To rumble! Hoo-ha!

Front row? Oh, this is so exciting.

I had to pull some strings to get these, mrs. Pteranodon.

Buddy and I are gonna go say hi to king.

All right. Hurry back, kids.

Hi, king. How you feeling?

Are you nervous?

I think I'm finally over my stage fright once and for all.

It's a new me, baby!

That's great news, king!

So when do you go on?

Uh, there's one more act before I go on, some singing

Dinosaur or something. Never heard of her.

[Cheering] thank you. Here's a little

Song I call "I got somethin' special."

Mm-hmm.

♪ Some dinosaurs have snaggly teeth

For rippin' chunks of meat some dinosaurs have

Terrible claws they wear 'em on their feet

But I got something special I got this rockin' crest

And when I show it you're gonna know it

'Cause it's up above the rest ♪ who is she?

Awk! She's beautiful.

Oh, man.

♪ Hoo some dinosaurs

Can get their food with -foot fingernails

Some dinosaurs can get their way by whippin' and snappin'

Their tails ♪ man!

♪ But I got somethin' special I got this rockin' crest

And when I display I know you'll say

It's better than the rest ooh ♪

Sweet stygimoloch. What a crest.

♪ Do do do do do oh, 'scuse me

While I rock this crest yee-ha ♪

[Cheering and hooting] isn't she amazing? Crystal

Cryolophosaurus, people! And now please welcome my other

Favorite singer--king cryolophosaurus!

King, you're on!

Are you ok?

Buddy, tiny, this crystal cryolophosaurus, she's the most

Amazing creature I've ever seen. I could listen to her

Forever.

Yeah, she's great, but the crowd is waiting for you.

You've got to go on now.

Uh, go on a what?

Sing.

Oh. Uh, right, right.

Can't wait to hear you sing, king.

Yeah. Oh, yeah!

[Mumbling] me, too! Ha ha!

King!

Whoo! King!

King, you're supposed to sing.

Oh, yeah. Uh...

♪ Dinosaur train dinosaur train

Gonna riiiide the dinosaur train ♪

Hoo-ha!

Oh, that didn't come out like I planned.

Oh, you were wonderful, king.

Oh, thank you very much. Heh heh. All right. Which way did

She go? You see, I want to meet crystal and talk to her, but

I'm kind of afraid to talk to her, you know? Plus I have no

Idea how to even go about getting her attention.

King, you have the perfect way to get crystal's attention,

Your cryolophosaurus crest.

Your crest is made for showing off, king.

They're right. The main purpose of your famous crest is

To attract other cryolophosaurus. Creatures who

Have crests use them to get the attention of, oh, how should I

Say this, the opposite gender.

Uh, opposite gender? Like, I'm a male and crystal's a

Female? That kind of opposite?

Well, exactly. You like crystal, she sees your crest,

Likes it, meets you, likes you, bingo! You'll be friends, maybe

Forever.

Well, I like the sound of that.

Here's all you need to know.

Creatures with crests often move their heads back and forth.

Uh, how come?

Well, to show off your crest. Like this. "Hello! Look

At me and my crest! Show to the left, show to the right, out of

Sight!" Oh, come on, king.

Uh, heh heh.

Awk! Wonderful!

And don't forget--seeing your crest straight on from the

Front is the best. Save that move for last.

Huh huh! Huh huh! Ha!

Great. Now let's go find crystal. You can show her your

Crest moves and talk-- wait. Whoa, whoa, ho-ho-hold

On. Talk to crystal?

Don't worry, king!

We'll help you!

Ok. There's crystal.

Right. There she is. Heh heh.

Go on, king. Go say hi.

Hello, chrissie.

Heh heh. You mean crystal.

How are you, king?

Oh, I'm fine. Do you like my crest?

You have a wonderful crest, king.

That's wonderful! Yeah. That you like it, I mean. Well, uh,

I have to go now. Bye.

Ok. Nice talking to you. Bye.

King kind of gets nervous sometimes.

Let's go find him.

Oh, man! I'm so annoyed at myself. I could have said

Better things to crystal. Now I'll bet she'll never want to

Be my friend.

Aw. She'll be your friend.

We just have to think of good stuff for you to say.

Hmm. How about, "crystal, you're a mighty fine singer,

The best I've ever heard"?

Aw, good one, buddy, and it's true, too, man. Oh. Ok.

Here goes. You're a mighty fine singer, the best I've ever

Heard.

Whoo-hoo!

That's great, king!

Ok. I think I can remember all of that.

There she is. Ok. Buddy and I will hide in those bushes in

Case you need help remembering.

Got you. Great plan, tiny.

Now go on. Say hi and stuff.

Uh, hi and stuff again.

Nice, uh, day, you know? Uh, coral--i mean, carol--uh,

Cressida--oh, no.

Crystal!

Crystal.

Crystal. That's your name--crystal!

Heh heh. Right. I'm crystal, and you're king.

Heh heh. Oh, bingo. Now, uh...

"You're a mighty fine singer."

You're a mighty fine finger.

I mean, singer, yeah. The best I've ever heard.

Why, thank you, king. Say, I'm gonna walk down by the

Station. Would you like to join me?

Yes, you would. Uh, I mean, yes, I would.

Ha ha ha!

So, you know, I actually was a little nervous when i, uh...

When you sang in front of her.

When I sang in front--ahem-- when I sang in front of you.

Ha! I was.

You, nervous? Well, it never showed.

[Train whistle blows] oh, there's the train. The

Festival must be over.

Everyone's leaving.

Well, then let's get down there, baby. I mean, uh, I'll

Go with you.

Uh, say, crystal, you want to see me do something funny with

My crest?

Huh huh! Huh huh! Ha ha!

Ha ha ha! King, you really surprise me. You are one funny,

Kind, and fine fella with a heck of a crest.

Oh. Thank you very much.

You're welcome very much.

Uh, you know, crystal, you sang today about having

Something special, your crest, and it made me realize that,

Uh, you and I have something special. Uh...heh heh heh.

Friendship!

We have a friendship, you and me!

I completely agree.

[Blows] really? Oh, that's great,

Baby. So, uh, hmm. Train's about to go. Would you come

Back to the jurassic antarctic with me, baby?

I don't know, king. Now that I've been to troodon town, I

Want to see more of the big, wide world. I want to travel

And explore. The cretaceous is outrageous, baby.

Oh, but the jurassic is fantastic, man! Aw. Come back

Home with me, crystal.

Oh, king.

I feel a song coming on, baby.

Yep.

♪ I got to get back to the antarctic

A habitat where you and I belong I got to travel round

'Cause I'm adventure bound so, baby, please

Don't get me wrong I'm goin' back

To the jurassic all right

Back where I'm the king well, go on back

To the jurassic hoo-ha!

Go on and do your thing oh, baby, ain't

You gonna miss me?

Ain't you gonna miss my crest?

Yeah, I guess I'm gonna miss you

Hoo-ha!

Your singin' and a-dancin' is the best

Thank you, but, uh how am I ever gonna forget you?

You know that you're one of a kind

Well, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do

And you and I are gonna be just fine

Guess I'll go back to the jurassic

You go then I'll go and do my thing

Well, come back and visit the cretaceous

Hoo-ha!

And maybe you and I can sing baby, you and I can sing ♪

[Cheering] so you staying here or

Riding to the jurassic?

How about if crystal stays in the cretaceous and king

Stays in the jurassic but they visit each other as often as

They can on the dinosaur train?

I like that a lot!

[Cheering] I'll see you real soon,

Pretty crest. Hoo-ha!

You sure will. Bye for now, king.

Hi, there. I'm dr. Scott the paleontologist. Most

Paleontologists think that cryolophosaurus, like king,

Used their crests to show off to other cryolophosaurus. Why

Would we think that? Because plenty of animals living today,

Such as birds, use strange features to display to each

Other. Most often it's the males--the boys, that is--

That do the showing off. Here's a male frigate bird, which

Puffs out a big red pouch in its neck! And how about the

Amazing tail feather display of male peacocks? Sometimes, the

Male birds do crazy dances while they're showing off.

Check out the cool moves of this bird of paradise! In other

Bird species, the girl and boy birds dance together. Get

A load of this pair of albatrosses! Since many birds

Living today use strange features and wild dances to

Show off, it makes sense that dinosaurs did the same thing.

Ok. Remember, get outside, get into nature, and make your

Own discoveries!

We love playing games!

Like all aboard!

You can play, too, online at pbskids.org!

And lots of other games!

There's so much to learn about all kinds of dinosaurs!
