Whoo!

Whoa!

POLINA: Hmm!

Got to find just the right pair...

[KIDS LAUGHING]

[SPOT BARKING]

[WHISTLES]

Yes, Mom?

Are you three getting ready?

Remember, it's picture day.

Picture day!

Oops, I forgot.

Picture day!

Picture day!

Oh, this year we're going to make

an extra-nice portrait.

Something that we can all look at and say,

"Yes, sirree, that looks just like us."

-Great!
-Picture day! Picture day!

Which is why I want everyone to wear nice

clean, blue outfits.

But I thought it's supposed
to look like us.

Shake a leg, Olie.

Remember, something blue.

Okeydokey.

[HUMMING]

[GIGGLING]

Picture day! Picture day!

It's picture time, pretty time, Zowie.

Let's go get ready.

OLIE: Hmm...

something blue.

No good.

Terrible!

No way!

Hey, now we're talking.

My old Space Boy suit and helmet.

[ZIPPER CLOSING]

Perfect!

It's Space Boy!

Except it's sort of not completely blue...

or blue at all.

[HEAVY SIGH]

Blue, blue, blue...

Hey! My old uniform.

Perfect!

[GRUNTING WITH EFFORT]

Yes!

[CLOTH TEARING]

It's too small.

There's just got to be something.

Gosh, I don't think I own anything blue.

Except...

No way!

I'm not having
my "looking like me" picture

taken in this.

Hey! I know.

Tah-da!

My blue swimsuit.

[SIGHS]

[CACKLING]

Oh... Oh, this is the fritziest, fussiest,

finickiest camera
in the whole round world.

[LAUGHING]

Oh, you look pretty as a picture in blue.

-PAPPY: Oh, not again!
-Oh, my!

Here you go, Zowie.
You stay put and color.

I'll be back in a jiffy.

[GIGGLING]

Color, color, color.

Now, how's about Spot?

[GULPING AND CHEWING]

POLINA: There you are!

Here's a spiffy blue ribbon for you.

[YELPING]

Spot?

Color, color, color.

PAPPY: Dang old-fangled timers!

Me blue, me blue, me blue.

Hmm...

Mmm...

Oh...

Golly, hard to make up a fellow's mind.

I need something, well,
just a little more sporty.

Oh, come on, Spot.

It's just for the picture.

[WHIMPERING]

That's a good little pooch.

Spot!

[YELPING]

Oh!

Ooh!

Spot?

Ooh!

[HORN HONKS]

Whoa!

Oh, my stars!

Whoa!

[TIRES SQUEALING]

Whoo-whee!

Well, hi-de-hi and hello-de-ho.

-Oh, hey, there, beautiful.
-Oh!

Take a spin and let me look at you.

Uh-huh.

That's right.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Oh, yeah.

You've got it, baby.

Ooh!

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Ooh!

Whoa!

GIZMO: Hot diggety dog!

You look picture-perfect.

Oh, Gizmo!

I hope you don't mind,

but I decided to take it down
a notch this year.

It looks just...

swell, Giz.

[GIGGLING]

Color, color, color.

GIZ: Whoa, baby Zow!

I see you got a real case of the blues.

[GIGGLING]

Me blue. Me blue.

Whoa!

PAPPY: This thingamajig
is getting all jammed up again.

Pappy, you old hep cat.

You're making the eyes
on the old Giz fizz.

[SPOT YELPING]

[BARKING]

Oh!

[BARKING CONTINUES

What do you think of this bow tie, son?

Sporty enough?

Does it look like me?

You betcha, Dad.

How's about this one?

It's swell, too.

Oh, I think I got it.

I can't decide.

Okeydokey, everybody.

Time for Pappy to take the snappy.

Yay!

GIZMO: Come on, little Zow.

Time to flash your best smile.

[ZOWIE LAUGHS]

Hold on, Pappy.

I'm not quite ready.

Ten...

[CACKLING]

Snazzy bow tie, little brother.

-You think?
-Uh-huh.

Wait! We're missing Spot and Mom.

Can't have a family picture without them.

Mom!

POLINA: I'm ready.

PAPPY: Eight...

Oh, my.

Well, aren't we just all looking tip-top?

Which bow tie, Sweetums?

That be a-seven.

This one or this one?

Six...

Wait, Pappy. We're not ready.

Can't stop this thing now.

Get ready to say, "cheese."

That be a-five.

Oh, me!

This is all wrong.

We're supposed to be all in blue.

-OLIE: We are in blue, Mom.
-No, Spot!

[BARKING]

And a-four...

-[LAUGHING]
-POLINA: Oh, no!

PERCY: Almost ready, Sweetums?

Hurry up, everyone. It's going to flash!

-Sit down, Mom!
-GIZMO: And a-three...

[GRUNTS]

[LAUGHING]

-POLINA: Is everybody ready to go?
-Two...

PERCY: I'm in my underpants!

[SCREAMS]

One!

[POPS]

PAPPY: [WHISTLES] Well, uh...

POLINA: My!

PERCY: Well... [CHUCKLES] it looks, um...

OLIE: It looks just like us.

POLINA: You're right, Olie.

It does look just like us.

[EVERYONE LAUGHING]

[SPOT BARKING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[LAUGHING]

See you.

Don't forget tomorrow's show-and-tell.

You forgot?!

No. I, uh, I...

Just haven't decided
what I'm bringing yet.

You haven't?

What are you bringing?

Easy! My brick collection.

Again?

You betcha!

You can't ever get enough of bricks.

Bricks are so, you know...

Bricky-bricky.

[HINGES CREAKING]

[SPOT PANTING]

[BARKING]

[LAUGHING]

Howdy, Spot.

Not now, boy.

I got to find something

to bring to show-and-tell tomorrow.

I've already brought in a space borer,

my toy car, my pogo stick,
my bug collection...

[BARKING]

I already brought you, too.

I need something new;

something that'll really wow
the other kids.

[WHIMPERING]

Nope.

Nope.

Nope.

What look for, Olie?

I'm looking for something new

to bring to show-and-tell tomorrow,

but I can't find anything.

Show Cutie.

A doll?

-[CRYING]
-Hmm...

maybe.

[CRYING CONTINUING]

Uh, thanks, but Nokeydokey, Zow.

Cutie's too, um... Well, uh, too loud.

Oh.

Shh...

No cry, Cutie.

[HAMMERING AND RATCHETING]

[HINGES CREAKING]

[SIGHS]

Someone looks in the downy-dumps.

I can't find anything new
to bring to show-and-tell.

Everybody's going to bring neat stuff.

I need something super-extra-duper neat.

Hey, the Magno would be ultra-duper neat.

The Magno, huh?

It is a pretty impressive
piece of machinery

And I've got it humming pretty good.

[YELPS]

[CHUCKLES]

Well, uh, maybe the Magno's

a little too finicky to take to school.

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

You know, Pappy's out tidying up his boat.

He's got all kinds of stuff out there.

It's just a bunch of old stuff, Dad.

Why don't you go ask him?

You might find some old stuff

that's even more fun than new stuff.

Okeydokey.

[SNORING SOFTLY]

-OLIE: Pappy, Pappy...
-[SNORTS]

Huh? Eh, Wha...?

Oh, what's the matter, Olie?

Where's the fire?

No fire, Pappy.

I'm just looking
for something new and neato

to bring for show-and-tell.

It's got to be new and neato.

[CACKLING]

Oh, well, I was just going

through some old things here.

Well, let's see what we can find.

Uh-huh...

Woo-hoo!

Oh, will you look at this.

It looks really old.

Well, it is.

It's from my sailing days
on the good ship Rolie Polie.

You were a Rolie Polie sailor?

What?

Was I a sailor?

Well, didn't I ever tell you

about the time we hit that storm
off Cape Curve?

Uh-uh.

We were bound out of Cubey Key

set for circular harbor,
when the storm hit.

[THUNDER CRASHING]

The waves were the size of Housey

and the wind was blowing like a tornado.

I couldn't hold her any longer!

[YELLS]

Wow! How did you make it, Pappy?

I could just make out Roundie Isle

and straight ahead.

I put one gear in front of the other

and kick, kick, kick!

Ah, I tell you, I was never so happy
to see dry land.

Gee, Willikers, Pappy!

That sure is a great story.

What else do you have?

Whoa-ho-ho!

Oh, this here is my genuine
number one issue

commemorative star mission scope.

What's co-mem... Comer-ative?

[CHUCKLES]

Well, it's a souvenir

to remember an extra-special day.

They gave them out
so everyone on Planet Polie

could watch us Rolie Polie astronauts

discover another galaxy.

OLIE: You were a real-life astronaut?

PAPPY: Oh, everyone on the whole
planet watched us

on the old star mission.

Why, they threw us the loudest,
brassiest, happiest parade ever

when we came home.

Wow! This old stuff
is kind of neato, Pappy.

[LAUGHING]

Hey, what's this?

Well, I'll be a monkey wrench's uncle!

[CHUCKLING]

[EXHALES]

Uh, come on, Olie, I'll show you.

Well, I may get
a little squeaky and creaky now

but your old Pappy didn't always
have two left ears.

What do you mean?

Back in my day,

I used to shimmy with the best of them.

Why, I could shake a leg
like nobody's business.

You could?

Oh, yeah.

I even invented a dance, the funky robot,

the dance craze
that swept the Polie planet.

You see, it all started
in the Polieville Bowl-o-rama.

Stee-rike! Yahoo!

Right foot out,

left foot out,

back, back,

side, side, side...

[MUSIC PLAYING]

PAPPY: Hee-hee! Oh, you almost got it!

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Is that the funky robot?

Oh, my stars! The funky robot!

I was crazy for this dance!

Right foot out,

left foot out,

back, back,

side, side, side.

[LAUGHTER]

[ALL SIGH]

Oh, that was a humdinger
of a dance you dreamed up, Pappy.

[PAPPY LAUGHING]

Oh, well, ain't that something!

So Olie, did you have any luck finding

that extra-super-duper-neato something new

to bring to show-and-tell?

You betcha, Dad!

It's not exactly new,

but it's sure going to wow the other kids.

For show-and-tell,
I brought something old.

His spring-a-lator squeaks and creaks;

his teeth pop out all the time,

but he's lived almost forever
and done almost everything

and he has the bestest old stories to tell

in the whole round universe.

He's my super-duper, neato-keanest Pappy!

-[APPLAUSE]
-[CHUCKLING]

Aw, thank you, Olie.

[CHUCKLING]

PERCY: Nice sh*t, Olie!

Thanks, Dad.

Hmm.

Whoops-a-daisy!

Whaa! Uh, fore!

[YELPS]

PERCY: Where'd it go?

OLIE: It's got to be
around here somewhere.

Not up here.

-PERCY: Not down here.
-[SPOT BARKING]

[BARKING]

Here, Spot! Find Dad's ball.

-[STRANGE BEEPING]
-[BARKING]

[BARKING]

[WHIMPERS]

[BARKING]

There it is!

[BARKING]

Guess I put a little too much elbow grease
into that sh*t.

[HIGH-PITCHED] Squeeg!

-Squay-zee!
-[GASPS]

What'd you say, Olie?

I didn't say anything, Dad.

-Squeeg!
-[BARKS]

Squee-ga-ga-ga!

What was that?

I don't know,
but it's coming from...

Squee-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga.

There!

It's coming from your ball!

Squee-ga-dee-
qua-goo-squeeg-er!

How'd something get in there?

Squeeg!

This isn't my worn wicket ball.

What in the world is it?

Squee-ga-ga-ga-ga.

And who in the world's in there?

Squeeg! Squeeg-ee!

-Huh?
-Huh?

Squee-lee squee-zee squat.

Who in the Rolie round world are you?

Squee-ga, squeeg-ee.

Sorry, I don't understand a word.

[STRANGE BEEP]

I'm big Gene Littlegreen

and my, uh... How do you say...

Squeeg-er... Sonny here
is little Gene Littlegreen.

Squee!

We're coming from the little green planet.

We dillydallied out exploring

when our, uh... Squee-lee...
Talking, hearing thing...

Communicator?

Yes! Our communicator fritzed.

It just a little tinkering needs,

but right tools don't I have.

You've come to the right place.

Dad's the bestest tinkerer
in the whole Polie universe.

Well, we Polies are always
glad to lend a hand

to someone in need.

Help yourself.

Dokeyokey...

And thank you very muchly.

Hmm...

[GRUNTING]

Bubble-a-dee!

I don't know, Gene,
this one seems a bit, um...

big?

Queedle-ee!

Quee-jer.

I know!

We can reverse-erate
the o-magno and shrink it.

That's using the old orb, Ollie.

Why don't you get little Gene
a bite to eat

while we do some tinkering.

Let me show you around, little Gene.

Dokeyokey.

But you can me call Junior.

[LAUGHING] Okeydokey, junior.

Mom, meet my new friend
little Gene Littlegreen.

But you can call him Junior.

And how do you do, Junior Littlegreen?

Squee! It's very pleasing you to meet me.

[GIGGLING] Oh.

Junior and I are kind of hungry.

Oh, I've got just the thing.

Huh? That what?

Mom's double-chocolate cake.

You don't have chocolate cake

where you come from?

Mmm. Wait till you taste it.

It's out of this world!

BIG GENE: I'll reverberate
the talk-erator.

[MUMBLING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE]

[CLANKING AND BEEPING]

BIG GENE: Anybody out there?

PERCY: Maybe if you, uh, retune-erate
the tuner?

Hmm.

[CLANKING AND BEEPING]

[OLIE GROANS]

[STOMACH GURGLING]

[BELCHES]

[LAUGHING] Ooh.

Pardon, please.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Thanks very muchly, Mrs. Polie.

You're welcome. Mm-hmm.

Let's go play.

Dokeyokey, Olie.

This is my favorite-est toy
in the whole galaxy.

Ooh, she's looking as a beauty.

Hop in.

Dokeyokey.

[BEEPING]

JUNIOR: Yahoo!

Whee!

[GIGGLING]

[BIG GENE GRUNTING]

There! I've retune-erated the tuner,

re-frequer-ated the frequency...
Squeeg-er!

And recalibrated the crystal.

Well, maybe I should give it a sh*t.

I've got a bit more volume.

Squeedle-ee!

Uh, hello? Hello?

[LAUGHING] Whee! Yahoo!

[LAUGHING]

PERCY: Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Dad?

Dad?

[GASPING] Listen.

OLIE: That you, Dad?

Olie?

Hi, Dad. How is it going?

[GIGGLING]

A-squee-diddle-squee-daddle-squee

Uh, mee-oh... Aah...

Pardon me, Gene,
but what you doing up there?

That's how we say thanks
on the little green planet.

PERCY: Oh, it's nothing.

We Polies are always ready
to lend a helping hand.

Now all you have to do
is get the right channel.

BIG GENE: Squee-jee.

Jee.

[CHUCKLING]

We were wrongly turnstiling
at the giant asteroid.

[SIGHS]

-Squie-squie!
-Squie-squie!

Wait! You can't leave without trying

Mom's chocolate chip cookies.

They're the bestest in the whole universe.

Thank you!

Woodle-too!

It sure was swell getting to know you.

[GIGGLING]

Thank you very Muchly, Olie.

Squie-squie!

[BEEPING]

Good-bye!

Good-bye!

[SPOT WHIMPERS]

OLIE: I'm going to miss Little Gene.

PERCY: Hmm,
there's the little green planet.

It's so small I never noticed it before.

OLIE: Wow, they're sure going
far, far away.

[SIGHS]

JUNIOR: Olie? Come in, Olie.

Little Gene Littlegreen this is.

We're homely, safely and soundly. Over.

Hiya, Junior. You made it!

JUNIOR: We couldn't have done it
without you helping very muchly.

We're just happy
we could lend a helping hand.

JUNIOR: Dokeyokey, Olie.
Tomorrow talk to you.

Out and over.

Dokeyokey, Junior.

Over and out.
