Narrator: hey, kids.
Today's featured words are

Bombard and emcee.

Today in the botsford home,
becky and bob are

In the middle
of a riveting competition.

Man on tv: you're late.
You're gonna be fired.

Different man:
boss, it's not
my fault.

Ugh. This is definitely not
a riveting competition.

Ooh! A game show!

What's it called?

It's called
"may I have a word?"

Bob likes it because
they have a monkey on it!

[Squeak]

Well, hello there,
game show fans!

I'm seymour orlando smooth!

[Bob squeaks]

Becky: seymour smooth?!

He's not
the regular emcee!

The regular emcee
is beau handsome!

I'm here filling in
for that other emcee

Who isn't here for a reason
that has nothing to do

With anything bad
I've done.

[Squeaking]

And now it's
time to play...

"May I have a word?"

Wrong answer!

It's time to play
"may I have your money?"

The game show that asks
the question

"May I have
your money?"

Contestants: huh?

Now hold up
your money!

What is the secret word
that will make me
hap-hap-happy?

Contestant number one?

Uh, who are you?

Incorrect!

[Squeaking]

You think something's
happened to beau handsome?

I'm sorry!

The secret
word is "mine"!

You lose!

I'm not sure
I understand the rules,

But that seymour smooth
does have very shiny teeth!

Mom, I have to go, er,
buy some school supplies.

I've been bombarded
with homework
assignments lately.

Well, that
sounds painful.

Actually, bombard means
when you throw a lot
of stuff at someone,

Like assignments
or questions.

So seymour threw
a lot of questions
at the contestants--

He bombarded them
with questions!

Ok. Bye!

Worrrrrd up!

Now, let's move on to
the "what's in your
pocket?" Round.

This new emcee seems
mostly crooked!

Maybe that what
emcee stands for!

Mostly crooked!
Ha ha ha!

Oh, I'm mostly confused.

Oh! Maybe I'm an emcee!

Ha ha ha! I'm not.

I'm not an emcee.

Seymour: see you next time
on "may I have your money?"

Ha ha ha!

This is your emcee
seymour orlando smooth
signing off!

[Indistinct chatter]

Excuse me. I have some
questions to ask you,
mr. Smooth.

Excuse me.
I'm the emcee here.

I'll ask
the questions.

And my first
question is
what's that?

Huh?

Oh! Hmm.
Something smells funny.

I mean, something
about this situation
smells funny.

Good detecting, huggy.

Maybe this will lead
us to beau handsome!

Narrator: meanwhile, somewhere
in this studio...

[Footsteps]

Ahh.
I'm so handsome.

Not one wrinkle.

My face is
too perfect.

You can't stop looking
at yourself.

You are transfixed
by your own image,
beau handsome,

Mr. I get to
emcee a game show
twice every day.

Soon the world
will forget about you,

And I shall be
the greatest emcee
in the world.

One last look.

No! I can't!

Yes, I must!

No, yes, no, yes, no, yes!

Oh! Please, seymour,
stop tantalizing yourself!

Huggy, we're being
bombarded with lights
and music!

Seymour: hello!

Let's play "go away!"

The game show
that no one wins.

Even you, word girl!

Is this going
to be unfair
and totally rigged?

No, but it might be unfair
and totally rigged.

All rightie!
Answer all of these
questions at once

In the right order!

That doesn't sound unfair
and totally rigged.

Want to bet?
Here are your questions.

What organ do you
use to see with?
Eye!

What's another word
for sweet potato?
Yam!

What do you make to tie
two ropes together?
A knot!

What do horses eat?
Hay!

What's the opposite
of loser?
Winner!

Put them
all together!

Eye, yam, knot,
hay, winner!

You're right!

You are not a winner!

Ha ha ha!

Hey! Oh!

[Clang]

[Whirring]

I'm so sorry about that!

Not really.

Narrator: it looks
like word girl lost
the game by winning,

Or did she win by losing?

Hey. I'm
the emcee here!

I'll ask the questions!

I, um, I don't really
know what emcee means.

Emcee stands for
master of ceremonies,

The person who hosts
an event or tv show

And introduces the guests
or contestants!

Yeah! You'll see!

Just watch round two!

Narrator: but we're not
the only ones watching!

Seymour smooth is televising
this to the world!

This looks like
this'll be

The best game show ever!

Now it's time to move
on to the exciting
round two

Where anything can
happen except you
winning, word girl!

It's time to play
"catch all
the cupcakes!"

[Squeak]

This time, the contestant
will be your

Little monkey friend
captain huggy face!

He's being bombarded
with cupcakes!

[Squeak]

[Groans]

Oh, I'm sorry. Did I say
"catch all the cupcakes?"

I meant, "don't catch
all the cupcakes!"

You lose!

Hey. That was unfair
and totally rigged!

Told you.

But good cupcakes!

My mom's recipe.
She adds the little nuts.

And speaking
of a little nuts,

This next game's gonna
drive you crazy!

And now the hardest
test of all,

The final round called
"let me show you the door!"

Just choose the right door,
and you can leave!

Is it...
Door number one...

[Grr]

Door number one...

[Grr]

Or door number one?

[Inhales and exhales]

[Raaaaarrrr]

We're not going
anywhere until we find
beau handsome,

The greatest emcee
of them all.

Ohh! Beau handsome,
beau handsome, beau handsome!

Oh, you think he's
so great?!

Look at him!

Wow! I'm handsome!

Mr. Handsome!

Mr. Handsome?

Wow. My face is
too perfect.

[Mouthing words]

I'll take that.

Word girl, where
did you come from?

And where am i?

Seymour smooth has
trapped you here

And taken over
your game show,

And he's been bombarding
everyone with really
unfair questions!

I think he may have
a bit of emcee envy.

Word girl,
I think you're
absolutely correct!

What do we have
for her?

I'll tell you what
we have for her,

Mr. Beau handsome-but-not-
as-handsome-as-me--

This! Zing!

Aah! His teeth...
Too, too shiny!

Gah! His teeth...
Too, too, too shiny!

Sorry.
I've got to ask.

Why did you have
mr. Handsome
trapped down here?

I was jealous that he
gets to be on tv twice a day

When I am the best emcee
in the world!

And smoothest!

Beau: you?!
I'm a better emcee

And smoother
and handsomer!

Narrator: too bad today's word
isn't modesty!

[Squeak]

You're right,
captain huggy face.

There's only one way
to settle this!

An emcee-off!

Emcee to emcee,
with me emceeing!

That will be
fair and square!

I like square!

And I hate fair.

Perfect!

It's time for
"the host with the most!"

The game show where
two contestants bombard

Each other with emcee phrases,
to prove who's

The host with the most!

There are seconds
on the clock. Go!

Let's meet
our players!

A brand-new car!

A year's supply
of bubble gum!

Good answer!

Time is running out!

Absolutely correct!

Is that your
final answer?

Survey says...

Tell him what
he's won!

You've won
the home version!

On to
the lightning round!

And now, uh--

Could we just--heh.

I--i can't stand
this game!

[Buzzer]

Sorry. Wrong answer!

Aw, but thanks for being
such a good sport!

What?! I can't lose!

I'm an emcee,
and an emcee always has

The right answers!

That's right.

And what was that long
answer I gave you before?

Eye, yam, knot,
hay, winner?

Absolutely right!
You're not!

Huggy, show our
loser what he's won!

[Cheering and applause]

You stole money
from those kids,

And so you've won
an all-expense-paid vacation

To jail!

Enjoy!

Beau! You can't let
them take me away.

After all, aren't
we both emcees?

Well, seymour
orlando smooth,

It looks like you won't be
back after these messages.

Guhy!

Oh, not so fast!

It's your
mother's cupcakes!

Well, where are
the little nuts?

Glad you asked.
Huggy, show him.

Ugh! Ohh! Aah!

I was hoping
for the little sprinkles.

I like sprinkles.

When they're little.

Hey, mom!

Becky, have you
done your homework?

Yup. How about a game
of checkers?

But I thought you
were bombarded
with assignments.

I was, but I spent all
afternoon working hard
and not playing games...much.

That's nice,
but didn't
you also say

You thought checkers
was sort of boring?

Maybe the old way,

But now here's
your emcee bob!

[Squeaks]

Oh. Maybe emcee stands
for monkey checkers!

Ha ha ha! Wahh!

Oh, no, mom.
I'll explain.

See, emcee stands for...

Narrator: and as becky bombards
her mother with definitions,

This is your emcee--sort of--
reminding you to join us

For the next competitive
episode of "word girl"!

♪ Word girl ♪

Hello. I'm beau handsome,
and this is...

"May I have a word?"

As usual, the player
who correctly defines

Today's featured word
will win a fabulous prize!

Let's play...

"May I have a word?"

Yes, you may!

Today's featured
word is fumble.

To give you a clue,
here are some clips

From "word girl" that show
the meaning of the word.

Ok. What do you
think, emily?

Fumble means to
carry a huge stack
of books.

Nope. Sorry.
Yes? Tommy!

Fumble means to handle
an object clumsily

And sometimes drop it.

In all those clips,
everyone was fumbling

Whatever they
were holding.

That's it! Tommy,
you are today's winner!

Huggy, show him
what he's won!

An official "word girl"
extremely valuable
diamond-encrusted egg!

Ooh!

Yikes! Don't fumble
that egg!

Phew. That was close.

Ok. That's it
for today's--

[Crash]

Oh! That's a shame.

Well, as I was saying,
that's it

For today's episode.

See you next time on...

"May I have a word?"

♪ Word girl ♪

Narrator: listen for the words
mistaken and fib.

It's word girl
versus the energy monster

In a fight for the ages!

Huggy, initiate emergency
plan number !

Oh, no! Huggy is
for some strange reason

Suddenly frozen!

How unexpected
and interesting!

Hey, big guy!

Thirsty?! Hyah!

[Screaming]

Great work, word girl!

Mind if I get some
pictures for my
next article?

I've got to run, scoops,
but feel free to--

Oh, maybe just a few.

Like this?
How about this?

This is tough.

[Squeak]

Ok. I really
need to go now!

See you!

Word girl!
Just a few more sh*ts!

Of course I'm the best
recorder player you've
ever taught.

I'm victoria best.

The word "best" is
right in the name.

Silly music teacher.

Ohh!

Did I just see what
I think I saw?

Is word girl's secret
identity really...

Victoria best?!

Becky! You've
got to see this.

I think I may have
figured out word girl's
secret identity!

Look at these pictures.

What if word girl is
really victoria best?!

Uh, scoops, there is
no way victoria best
is word girl.

But look! Word girl
rounded the corner,

And then all
of a sudden,

Victoria best
was standing
right there!

Yeah, I think that was
just a coincidence.

Well, there's only
one way to find
out the truth.

Oh, victoria!

Can you confirm
that this is you
in this picture?

That's me.
Don't I look fabulous?

Victoria best,
are you, in fact,
ahem...

Really word girl?

Am I really word girl?

The city's greatest,
most amazing,
and best super hero?

Or are you just
a normal, average person
like the rest of us?

Well! Hmm. That is me
in that picture.

Yes. That's me.

You figured it out.
I am really word girl.

Ohh! I can't believe
this is happening!

It's not happening.

Victoria is fibbing.

She's not word girl.

Yes, I am!
I am word girl,

And I've been
protecting the city
all this time.

Phew! Has it been
hard keeping this
secret so long!

But I'm
glad it's out

So I can finally
soak up the admiration
from my adoring fans.

The autograph
line starts here.

Let's keep it
orderly, people.
No pushing.

"Best wishes, vicky b."

You're welcome.

"Stay strong.
Victoria best."

"Victoria best admits
she's word girl!"

This is going
to be the greatest
article yet!

Everybody, victoria best
is not really word girl.

I mean, isn't it obvious
that she's totally
fibbing, you guys?

You guys?!

I love you...
Sort of.

People have been
wondering about
word girl's

Secret identity
for years!

And all this time...

Victoria best
has been...

Word girl!

This is
the biggest news ever.

More like
the biggest fib ever.

I know that if
my daughter
was word girl,

I'd be the proudest
dad in the
whole wide world.

Ok! Enough!

You guys, victoria
is not word girl.

Look at the proof, becky.

Ugh. This is
so frustrating!

You guys are wrong,

The article is wrong,

And nobody
will believe me.

But, becky,
these two photos
show word girl

Turning into
victoria,
clear as day.

You think that's
what they show,

But you're mistaken.

Huh?

If you're mistaken,
it means you're wrong

About something.

You think something
is one way,

But it's actually another,

And you are mistaken
in thinking that

Victoria best is word girl
because she's not!

I a--

[Squeaking]

I am going to my room!

[Squeaking]

Yeah, I guess it's
important to keep

Word girl's real identity
a secret.

I don't want villains
showing up at my front
door day and night.

How can I prove to
everyone that victoria
isn't really word girl?

That's it!

If people see victoria
and word girl
in the same place,

Standing side by side,

It will prove that they're
two different people.

Why didn't I think
of this before!?

Narrator:
now you're talking!

I'm a genius!

Later, in the headquarters

Of the word girl
international fan club...

And in conclusion,
that's why I throw myself

Into danger
on a daily basis--

To protect the citizens
of my fair city

But also to prove,
without a doubt,

That I am the best!

Thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you, word girl!
I mean, victoria.

I can honestly say that
was the best lecture

We've ever had here
at the word girl fan club.

Get it? Best?

That's my name.
Please wear it out. Ha!

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

Stop it!
Stop it!

Ahem.

Ok. Now if you don't mind,
I'd like to open up

The floor for questions
from our esteemed members.

I'll go first.

Scoops: victoria!
Victoria!

Scoops ming,
"big city times."

Big-time fan.

Can you transform
for us right now?

Well...

Whoa!

Um, sure I can transform,
watch this.

Word up!

Aah!
That was amazing!

Where'd she go?
Where's victoria?

Ha ha.
Nice try, word girl.

We all know that
you are victoria,

But thanks for showing
us that transformation.

Ok, fan club members.
You've got to listen to me--

Victoria is not word girl.

She fibbed when
she said that.

That is a fib.

A fib?

Right. If someone fibs,
it means they told a lie

Or something
that isn't true.

Victoria said
she's word girl,

But actually she is not
word girl.

Well, now I think
you're fibbing.

I'm not fibbing!
I'm telling the truth!

Ok. I see what
you're doing.

Victoria here
wants us all to
keep wondering

If she really
is word girl.

She wants to keep
the mystery alive!

Ugh! This is so
frustrating!

Narrator: moments later
at victoria's house...

Ok, victoria.

Time for your fib
to be finished.

[Playing classical music]

Whoa!

Get back here! Ugh!

Ha ha!

I'm the best
at running away!

Looks like we've
got you cornered.

How about a little
hypnotically
lovely music?

Nice try, victoria.

See? It's really
not that loud!

Oh, yeah?

Well, what if I
turn up the volume?

That'll do, notes.
That'll do.

I'm the best.

Ugh. Rumph.

Can't...wiggle...free.

Oh! How nice of you two
to stick around.

Get it?

What do you plan on
doing with us,
victoria?

Nothing. That's
the whole point.

I'll keep my two newest
trophies on the shelf

Where they belong while
I go soak up the city's love

For being
their best superhero.

But you can't
really fight crime.

We know that,
but nobody else does,

And there's nothing
more fun than everyone
thinking you're the best.

[Doorbell rings]

Oh. That must be one
of my many admirers.

Hello! Did you come
for an autograph?

Victoria, there's trouble
at the bank!

And this affects
me how?

We need help!

Um, would you settle
for an autograph?

Please help us!

Victoria, you've got
to untie us so
we can stop--

No can do, word girl.

It's just
one little crime.

The city can
manage without you.

[Doorbell rings]

Ah! Busy day!

Excuse me.

Oh! Tj, you've come
to invite me

To another word girl
fan club meeting--

No. Chuck the evil
sandwich guy is stealing

All the mustard
from the grocery store.

You have to stop him!

Yeah, sorry.
Not gonna happen.

Got a lot on my
schedule today, tj.

How long do you
think you can
keep this up?

I can keep telling people
to go away all day.

I'm the best at telling
people to go away all day.

[Doorbell]

Oh! Let's try it again!

Aah! What are you
doing here?

What am I doing here?
Where have you been?

I've been waiting to
battle you in the park
for the last hour!

Turning the trees into
cheese is no fun

Without a little
push-back.

Now change
into word girl.
Let's do this.

Oh! Uh, sounds great?

Ah, can't wait?

Meet me in the park
and bring the monkey.

Do your job, will you?

Now even the villains
are showing up?

Everybody knows
I'm the best!

Not the best
at tying people up!

No way!

This is so not the best.

Thanks! Now it's time to
clear my name.

Step one,
catch the crooks!

Step two, get some
indisputable evidence that--

"Word girl
and victoria best are
not the same person!"

Good headline.
Gets right to the point.

Turns out I was mistaken
when I thought victoria
was word girl.

I guess word girl's
secret identity is
still a secret.

[Stilted]
yeah. I wonder
who she is.

Me, too.

Why are you
talking like that?

Ok, I admit it.

I'm not really
word girl.

That was a fib,

But you have to admit
I had everybody fooled,

So that was pretty much
the best fib ever.

In fact, I would say
I might be the best
fibber in the world!

The best fibber,
the best fibs,
the best everything!

Narrator: and so
with victoria's fib exposed

And our hero's mistaken identity
all cleared up,

All is well in the city.
