01x09 - Knights Are Brave and Strong

Post by bunniefuu »

Hi, I'm pablo.

My name's tyrone.

I'm uniqua.

I'm tasha.

And my name's austin.

All:
and we're...

* Your backyard friends,
the backyardigans *

* Together with
the backyardigans *

Pablo:
* in the place
where we belong *

Uniqua:
* where we'll probably
sing a song *

Tasha:
* and we'll maybe dance along

All:
* we've got the whole wide world
in our yard to explore *

* We always find things
we've never seen before *

* That's why every day
we're back for more *

* With your friends,

* The backyardigans *

"Knights are brave
and strong"

Dah-dah-dah-dahhhh!

Hello
and good day to you!

I am queen tasha,
the queen of everything.

That means I rule the entire
kingdom of the backyard.

* I'm queen tasha

* And I rule
the whole backyard *

* I rule everything

* It's really not that hard

* I'm in charge of it all

* And I like it that way

* 'Cause everyone has to do
what I say *

* I'm queen tasha

* And I rule
the whole backyard *

* I say do this,

* They say yes your majesty

* Do that,

* They say yes your majesty

* Give me this, *

* They say yes your majesty

* Bring me that,

* They say yes your majesty

* That's why I sing
this song *

* 'Cause queens
are never wrong *

* Yeah that's why
I sing this song *

* 'Cause queens
are never wrong *

* Da-da-da-dah-dahhhhh!

And because I'm the queen,

I live in a big,
beautiful castle.

This is the throne room,

Where I rule my kingdom.

See, that's my royal throne!

And outside is my entire
kingdom.

Behold!

That's the misty forest.

And way over there is the
castle of my good friend,

King austin.

I just wrote him a very
important message. See?

I need one of my subjects
to deliver it for me.

(Bell)

Come forth,
o' uniqua the pink!

Hi, your majesty.

What can I do for you?

Uniqua the pink,

You must take this very
important message

To the castle
of king austin.

But beware,
the journey is difficult.

No problem.

No, I mean it's really
difficult.

But if you can deliver
the message,

You will be greatly rewarded.

Rewarded? How?

You will become
a knight!

A knight?

Like the one up there
in the picture?

Tasha:
indeed.

Knights are the bravest,
the smartest,

And the strongest
in all the land.

Cool!

Will I even get a helmet
with a fancy feather like that?

Tasha:
yup.

A big, fancy,
knightly feather.

All right!
I wanna be a knight!

Uniqua:
* I'm uniqua
and I wanna be a knight *

* I'll deliver that message

* If it takes all night *

* I'll go on a journey,

* And won't ever stop

* 'Cause I'll be a knight *

* With a feather on top

* I'm uniqua
and I'm gonna be a knight. *

* I'll be brave!

* Yes you better be!

Uniqua:
* I'll be smart! *

Tasha:
* yes you better be!

Uniqua:
* I'll be strong!

Tasha:
* yes you better be!

Uniqua:
* say it again...

Tasha:
* yes you better be!

Uniqua:
* knights are brave
and strong *

Tasha:
* and queens are never wrong.

Uniqua:
* I said knights
are brave and strong *

Tasha:
* and queens are never wrong.

* Dah-dah-dah-daaaaaaaa! *

Remember, you can only
be a knight

If you prove yourself brave,
smart, and strong.

Well, I think I'm brave

And smart and strong.

But how do I prove it?

Tasha:
you will face three problems
along the way

To deliver my message.

Uniqua:
uh-oh.

What kind of problems?

Tasha:
look, I'll show you.

Soon after leaving my castle,

You will come
to the misty forest.

There roams the moose
of the mist,

A fearsome creature

Whose cries can be heard
for miles.

You must be very brave.

I'll try to be brave,
your majesty.

If you make it through
the misty forest,

You'll come to the guardian
of the gate.

No one has ever gotten
past him.

You'll have to be
really smart.

Okay,
I'll try to be smart.

Then what?

Then, you must cross
the swamp of stinkiness.

A foul smelling swamp,
full of stink puddles.

Eew.

Tasha:
it's so smelly

That no one has
ever made it through.

You must be
extra-strong.

Gotcha.

I'll try to be
strong.

Tasha:
then, you will finally come
to the castle of king austin.

Deliver my important message
to him,

And then he will make you...

A knight!
All right!

Here is
the secret message.

Be careful
with it.

What does it say,
your highness?

I can't tell you.
It's a secret.

Ooh, a secret.

O' queen,
nothing can stop me

From delivering
this message!

I hope.

Then be on your way.

Good luck,
uniqua the pink!

Thank you,
your majesty!

Uniqua:
* a message, a message,

* A very important message.

* The queen has sent me
out to bring *

* This secret message
to the king. *

* A message, a message,

* I'll bring the king
a message *

* And he'll be so impressed
with me *

* That soon a brave
pink knight I'll be. *

* A pink knight
with a feather, *

* A fancy helmet feather.

* That's what I'll wear
when I'm a knight, *

* All brave and smart
and strong, all right. *

* It's a misty,
spooky forest. *

* The path is dark and long,

* But I don't care,
'cause I don't scare. *

* I'm brave and smart
and strong! *

* A message, a message, *

* A very important message.

* Into the misty forest now

* To bring the king a message.

Whoa! This misty forest
sure is misty.

It's a little scary,

But I'll try to be brave.

(Deep breath)

Here goes.

Tyrone:
wooo-oo-oo...

What was that?

Tyrone:
wooo-oo-oo...

(Gasp)

Maybe it's the moose
of the mist!

Tyrone:
wooo-oo-oo...

Woo-oo-oo...

Uniqua:
halt, o' moose of the mist!

Yikes!
The moose of the mist?

Run for it!

Uniqua:
hey! Wait!

Stop!
I didn't mean to scare you!

Tyrone:
run!

The moose of the mist
is coming!

Uniqua:
but you're the moose
of the mist!

I am?

I think so.

Weren't you roaming
the mist

And making a strange noise?

I wasn't making
any noise.

Yes you were.

You were going
"woo-oo-oo... Woo-oo-oo...."

Oh. That's just a sound I make
when I'm nervous.

Wooo-oo-oo...

Uniqua:
why are you nervous?

Tyrone:
because I can't find my way
out of this forest.

I'm, I'm lost.

And I'm kind of scared.

Wooo-oo-oo...

Uniqua:
don't be scared.

I'll help you find
your way out.

Let's go that way.

Here,
take my hand.

Tyrone:
aren't you scared too?

A little.

But I'm trying
to be brave.

I wish
I was brave.

You are.

Being scared doesn't
mean you're not brave.

Tyrone:
really?

Uniqua:
really.

Hey look!

I think we're almost there.

Uniqua:
dah-dah-dah-dahhhh!

See? Here we are.

That wasn't so bad.

Tyrone:
no, it wasn't.

Especially when
you're brave like us.

Hey, where are you going now?

I have a very important message
from queen tasha

To deliver to king austin.

Tyrone:
what does the message say?

Uniqua:
I don't know.
It's a secret!

But if I deliver this
all the way to king austin,

Queen tasha says
he'll make me a knight.

Tyrone:
a knight?!
With a helmet?

Yup! With a big
fancy feather on it!

Wow!
I wanna be a knight too!

Well, maybe king austin
will make you one too.

But it's a very difficult
journey,

Because next,

We have to get past
the guardian of the gate.

Tyrone:
that's okay.

I'm brave
and I wanna be a knight.

Uniqua:
* a message, a message,

* A very important message. *

* We made it through
the misty woods *

* With a very important
message. *

Uniqua and tyrone:
* a message, a message,

* We'll bring the king
a message. *

Tyrone:
* I bet he'll make
a knight of you. *

Uniqua:
* and maybe
he'll make you one, too. *

(Humming)

Tyrone:
who's that?

Uniqua:
that must be the guardian
of the gate!

Queen tasha says nobody's
ever made it past him.

Tyrone:
so how do we get past him?

Uniqua:
we'll have to be really smart.

Pablo:
halt! Who goes there?

Uniqua:
greetings, o' guardian
of the gate.

I'm uniqua the pink!

Tyrone:
and I'm tyrone.

I'm brave.

Woo-ooo-ooo.

We have a very important
message

To deliver to king austin!

Pablo:
really? What does it say?

Uniqua:
I can't tell you.

Tyrone:
it's a secret!

Oh.
Well, you cannot pass.

Uniqua and tyrone:
why not?

Pablo:
because the gate is not open.

Uniqua:
will you open it for us?

Pablo:
no.

Tyrone:
please?

Pablo:
no.

Uniqua:
pretty please?

Pablo:
no!

Why not?
We said please.

Because...

Because I can't.

I-i just can't open it.

Watch.

(Grunting)

See?

It won't open,
no matter how hard I push.

Here,
let's all try it.

(Straining)

Pablo:
see? Nobody can ever open it.

That's why nobody
can ever get through.

All:
hmmm...

There has to be some way
to open it.

We just have to be smart
and figure it out.

Hmm.

Hey.
Maybe you can't push it open.

Maybe you have to open it
some other way.

Maybe...

All:
you have to pull it!

(Straining)

Uniqua:
* dah-dah-dah-dah-da-dahh!

Pablo:
wow! I never thought of that
before!

You're really smart!

Tyrone:
and she's brave, too.

Uniqua:
well, we figured it out
together.

C'mon, tyrone.

We have to deliver
the important message.

Pablo:
hey, can I come with you?

Uniqua:
sure!

Maybe king austin
will make you a knight too!

A knight?!

You mean with a helmet
and a fancy feather on top?

Uniqua and tyrone:
yeah!

Pablo:
cool!

* A message, a message.

* We'll bring
the king a message! *

Uniqua:
* and he will think
we're extra great *

Tyrone:
* 'cause we got past
that big old gate. *

All:
* a message, a message,

* A very important message.

* We're on our way
to give the king *

* His very important message.

All:
ewww. Yuck!

This must be the swamp
of stinkiness.

Follow me, and watch out
for those stink bubbles.

Look out!

Pablo:
hey, careful!

Oh, right there!
Right there!

Tyrone:
p.u.!

Pablo:
yeah, p.u.!

Tyrone:
* there's something in the air

* And it doesn't smell
so good. *

* I wish I didn't have a nose *

* I'd remove it if I could.

Uniqua:
* you're not kidding,
it smells real bad. *

* It's a really awful smell.

* This swamp is super stinky *

Pablo:
* and I don't feel so well.

Uniqua:
* but we gotta
get this message through *

* And to the other side.

* There's only one thing
we can do *

* Hold your nose
and say p.u.! *

* P.u.! Look out!
P.u.! Watch out! *

* P.u.! Better jump!
P.u.! Sure is stinky! *

Uniqua:
* I never smelled
a smell like this. *

* It's like a hot dog
rotting in the bun *

* Or like the smell
egg salad makes *

* When it's left out
in the blazing sun. *

Tyrone:
* don't let the bubbles
get you *

* Or you'll be stinky too.

* And nobody that you know *

* Will wanna be friends
with you. *

* P.u.! Look out!
P.u.! Watch out! *

* P.u.! Better jump!
P.u.! Sure is stinky! *

* It smells like garbage;

* Like dirty diapers;

* Like moldy cheese;

* Like mushy peas;

* Like dirty socks

* On monster feet

Uniqua:
* or -day-old meat!

* P.u! Look out!
P.u.! Watch out! *

* P.u.! Better jump!
P.u.! Sure is stinky! *

* P.u.!

Pablo:
oh, no! There's no way across!

Tyrone:
it's too far to jump.
What are we gonna do?

I know.

Maybe we could push
this big rock over

And walk across it
like a bridge!

Pablo:
but you'd have to be really
strong to do that!

(Straining)

Wow!
She is strong!

C'mon!
Let's help her!

(Straining)

Pablo:
tim-berrr!

Tyrone and pablo:
all right!

Uniqua:
oh no! It's sinking!

Hurry! We have to get across
before it sinks!

Pablo:
omigosh! Uh oh! Oh no!

It's sinking too fast!

We're never gonna make it!

We're gonna get covered
in stinky swamp stuff!

We have to go back!

Uniqua:
pablo!

Pablo:
yeah?

C'mon! This way!

You can make it!

I can? Okay!

Uniqua:
ready?

Uniqua and tyrone:
one! Two! Three! Jump!

Pablo:
oof!

Uniqua:
you did it!

Tyrone:
all right!

Uniqua:
you guys!
Let's get out of here!

All:
pee-ew!

Pablo:
we made it!

Tyrone:
you certainly are strong,
uniqua the pink.

Uniqua:
well, you guys helped me.

We're all strong.

Pablo:
and brave and smart, too.

I sure hope we get
to be knights,

With big fancy helmet feathers.

Uniqua:
hey, look!

Tyrone:
it's a castle!

Uniqua:
the castle of king austin!

Our mission is almost complete!

C'mon!

(Doorbell)

Austin:
who is it?

Uniqua:
it is i, uniqua the pink.

I bring a very important
message from queen tasha.

Austin:
great! Come on in.

(Straining)

Pablo:
hey, wait a minute,
tyrone.

Uniqua:
good thinking, pablo.

Tyrone:
yeah, very smart.

Austin:
greetings, uniqua the pink.

I am king austin.

Tyrone:
I am tyrone!

Pablo:
my name is pablo.

Uniqua:
they helped me on my journey,
your majesty,

And now we all want to be
knights.

You do?

Pablo:
definitely!

Tyrone:
yeah!

Uniqua:
uh huh!

Uniqua:
* I traveled really far
with this message for you. *

* Queen tasha said I had to get
this message to you. *

* She told me there'd be
problems to get in my way, *

* But if I could
get past them *

* Then she said
you would say... *

Tyrone and pablo:
* hey uniqua, you're brave
and smart and strong! *

Austin:
I just might!
Tell me more!

Uniqua:
* first there was the forest
dark and covered with mist. *

* It looked a little scary
but I have to insist. *

* The moose he wasn't scary
in spite of his moan *

* And when I got to know him
he was only tyrone. *

Tyrone and pablo:
* hey uniqua,
that's really being brave! *

Austin:
you're that moose!

Uniqua:
* soon we came to pablo
who was guarding the gate. *

* He said it wouldn't open.

Tyrone:
* what a terrible fate!

Uniqua:
* and then we started pushing it
with all of our heart, *

* But we couldn't even budge it
so we had to be smart. *

* I thought
maybe you can't push it... *

* Is there something
we haven't tried? *

* So I went over
and gave a pull *

* And I opened it up wide.

Tyrone and pablo:
* hey uniqua,
you're really being smart! *

Austin:
that's really using your head!

Uniqua:
* and then there was the swamp
with it's horrible smell. *

* The bubbles all around us

Pablo:
* I didn't feel so well.

Uniqua:
* it's a good thing
that I'm strong *

* Or we might have been lost.

* We pushed over a boulder
and we made it across. *

Tyrone and pablo:
* that uniqua,
she's really, really strong! *

Gggrrrr.

Austin:
* I'm impressed, uniqua,

* You're brave
and smart and strong. *

Uniqua:
* you know I got a message

Tyrone and pablo:
* clenched tight in her fist!

Uniqua:
* and I'm brave!

Tyrone and pablo:
* brave, brave!
In the forest of mist! *

Uniqua:
* I'm smart!

Tyrone and pablo:
* she's smart!
Got a head on her shoulders! *

Uniqua:
* I'm strong!

Tyrone and pablo:
* strong, strong!
She can push over boulders! *

All:
* hey uniqua, you're brave
and smart and strong! *

(Applause)

Austin:
you really are brave,
smart and strong, indeed!

Uniqua:
does that mean we could
be knights?

Austin:
yes! Knights you shall be!

Tyrone:
are you sure?

Austin:
of course I'm sure.

Kings are never wrong!

Uniqua:

Tyrone:
