(upbeat music)

- I cannot believe that we've

come all the way across town

for a comic book.

- Hector, you now

Mighty Bright Knight

is my favorite comic book.

The final issue

goes on sale today.

They only publish a

limited number of copies,

and I'm not gonna miss my

chance to get this issue.

Okay?

- Whoa!

(tense music)

- [Jessica] Ah,

look at this line.

These people probably

been here for a while.

- [Hector] Well, look

at the bright side,

at least nobody else can

get in front of you in line.

- Hello Jessica.

- Hello Manny.

(dramatic music)

- Uh, excuse you, you're

standin' in my place.

- No, excuse you, only your

shoe's in line, that's cheating.

I'm not giving up

my spot in line.

- Neither am I.

(Jessica grunts)

What?

- Get outta here.

- [Manny] Hmm.

- [Jessica] Move your shoe.

- [Manny] Move your shoe.

- I got my shoes on.

(clock dinging)

(Jessica panting)

Please tell me you

didn't sell out

of Mighty Bright Knight yet.

- Fortunately for you, I didn't.

- Yes!

Yes, I'm so lucky.

- Yes, but unfortunately,

I have only one copy left.

(Jessica groans)

So, which one of you gets it?

- I do!

- Oh, I do!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

he cheated to get

his place in line,

so he shouldn't

get the comic book.

- There is no rule that says

I cannot put my shoe in line.

I have just as much right to

this comic book as she does.

- I can help you decide

which one of you gets it,

but you'll have to

play by my rules.

- I don't play by

anybody's rules.

(upbeat music)

- Hey you guys!

Oh oh

Whoa oh

Come on, yeah

- [Manny] It's mine.

- [Jessica] No, it's mine.

- It's mine.

- It's mine.

- [Manny] Stop it, it's mine.

- What's that about?

- They both want

the same comic book.

- Actually, it still belongs

to me, so hand it over.

- Don't give it over.

- What's that?

- That's my robot.

- Huh.

Now, there is a very simple

solution to your problem,

a game off!

- A game off?

- Yeah, you'll play against

each other, you'll be opponents.

- Well, we're pretty used

to being opponents by now.

- Yeah, we got against

each other all the time.

(Manny hisses)

- What's the game?

- I'm gonna make up a special

scavenger hunt for ya.

- Oh, so it's like

we have to find

a bunch of different items

that are hidden all

over the neighborhood.

- Exactly!

- Ooh!

- There will be a total

of five riddles, and the first

team to solve them all, wins.

- [Manny And Jessica] Teams?

- Yeah, instead of playing

alone, individually,

you'll be playing with partners.

(Manny screams)

- Hold on, I don't

work with partners.

I work individually,

meaning alone.

- Uh, my game, my rules.

- All right, Annie Scrambler,

I will allow you to assist

me in this challenge.

- You will allow me?

I don't think so.

- Please!

- Okay, I'll do it,

if you let me have

your little robot

to clean my room for a week.

- Ha ha, he would

never allow that.

- Deal!

- Drat.

- [Jessica] And I pick Hector

'cause, you know,

he's my bro! (laughs)

- Okay, here's how

the game works.

I'll text you a riddle, and

it'll lead you somewhere.

When you get there,

take a picture of it,

and then, text me a rhyme.

- Why do they have

to send you a rhyme?

- I like rhymes.

- Who doesn't?

- And then, once I get

the photo and the rhyme,

I'll send you the next riddle.

- And no cheating.

- Uh, when have we ever cheated?

(Manny and Annie laughing)

- That was good, that was good.

- Okay, but seriously,

we won't this time.

- Any team or individual

caught cheating

will automatically

forfeit the game.

- Wait, if we get

caught cheating,

our opponents automatically win?

That's unfair!

- Uh, actually, it is fair.

That's what fair

means, no cheating!

- Oh.

- All right, winner takes all.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat electronic music)

- Ight.

- Ight.

- Bright!

Oh right, bright, ight

That's right, ight, ight

It's all right,

ight, ight, ight

Ooh, that's tight

Sometimes, things

just don't look right

We get mixed up

Day becomes night

But on the other

side of night

Is the dawn's early light

With the light we just might

Improve our sight

Think through a problem

You will never lose a fight

Stretch out your brain

And you'll always

have bright

(kids laughing)

Oh right, ight, ight, ight

That's right, ight, ight

Ooh, that's tight

(whirring)

Oh right, ight, ight

Now, that's

right, ight, ight

To shine bright

(upbeat electronic music)

(peaceful music)

- Tight

Tight.

Ight, ight!

Ight!

(clattering)

Light.

Bullfight,

Bullfight!

Ight, ight, ight!

(bull bellowing)

Ight!

Ight!

Ight!

(bull bellows)

(bull mooing)

(upbeat electronic music)

(beeping)

(dramatic music)

- It turns out that I-G-H-T

makes the same sound as I-T-E.

How could you do

that to me, I-G-H-T?

It's just not polite.

I can fly my kite, my

white kite without I-G-H-T.

My kite can take

flight without I-G-H-T.

(peaceful music)

Oh man.

You mean, my kite can't

take flight with I-G-H-T?

That's not right!

Somethings you just can't fight.

(upbeat electronic music)

- Hello Josephine.

- Hi, Mrs. Dwight.

I'm raising money for my school.

Want to buy a light?

- Josephine, your

lighthouse is too bright.

- Well then, how about

your very own knight?

- This knight would

frighten Mr. Dwight.

- Oh, right.

How about this night?

- I love this night.

I'll take two.

- [Josephine] All right.

(deep music)

(upbeat electronic music)

- Er.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

(upbeat electronic music)

- Are we sure Manny

and Annie won't cheat?

- We can't worry

about that, Jess.

We can win this

on our own merit.

- Yeah, you have the

skills to win this.

(phone ringing)

- First clue, read it!

- This one will have you

out pounding the granite.

What stays in a corner

and travels the planet?

Travels the planet.

- Okay, so the sidewalk

is made out of granite.

That doesn't help.

Okay, travels the planet

and stays in a corner.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's a stamp!

You see that, it's the

corner of the envelop,

and it travels through the mail

around the world, the planet!

You get it?

- Yeah!

- Here!

(camera clicks)

(cheerful music)

Yeah!

- Sorry!

- Come on, okay, all

we need is a rhyme.

- I've got this one.

Dear Mr. Checkers,

we've got news for you.

A stamp is the answer,

we solved the first clue.

(Hector laughs)

- That's a nice one.

- Ah, good one!

- [Marcus] Yeah!

(laughing)

- Ah, solving this next one

will be no small--

- Solving this next one

will be no small feat,

what's one thing you

serve but don't ever eat?

(tense music)

Huh?

Something you serve but

you don't ever eat it.

- A tennis ball.

(Manny laughs)

Ooh!

To the tennis court

for a photo op!

(Manny laughs)

Huh, huh, huh, huh

A tennis ball is

Served with a sweet hit

It might look good

But I wouldn't eat it

Ooh ooh uh uh

(laughing)

- Ah, uh, if you

solve this next one,

it will be--

- A shock, the next item

has many keys but no lock.

- Okay, what kinda

keys are there?

There, there are house

keys and car keys.

- Musical keys!

- Musical keys.

It's a piano!

- Yeah, come on!

(whirring)

(camera clicks)

(upbeat music)

keys but not

lock in sight

The answer's piano,

we got this one right

(Hector laughing)

- Hello Jessica!

We've already solved

most of our riddles.

We only got three more

to go before we win!

Scared?

Oh!

- You only have

three items to go?

Well, fortunately for us,

we only two items to go.

Oh, and here's our

text right now.

- We're down three to two,

time for project freakout.

- Uh, unfortunately, we

can't get caught cheating.

- Fortunately, we

won't get caught.

They will.

(laughing)

(alarms wailing)

- [Hector] What?

(Annie sighs)

- Oh, oh, oh, look at this.

You've been up and down

almost every street,

but where will you

find a dog you can eat?

(rumbling)

- What was that?

(suspenseful music)

- Just another

distraction from Manny,

anything to keep us from

reading the next clue.

Uh, the clue.

You've been up and down

almost every street,

but where will you

find a goat you dance?

- A goat you dance?

That doesn't even rhyme.

I don't get it.

- Maybe it's a dancing

goat at the zoo.

- Okay, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait!

There's a dance

performance at the park,

maybe there's a goat involved.

- Okay, you got to the

zoo, I'll go to the park,

one of us has to be right.

(energetic music)

- Hello Jessica.

Aw!

Why the long face?

Am I too tough an

opponent for you?

- I should've known

you would cheat, Manny.

- You call it cheating,

I call it winning.

(laughing)

Ooh!

I got my next clue

I got to go, to go

Don't forget the plan.

(tense music)

- You are not gonna

get away with this!

But how do I stop him?

- You could scramble his clue.

- Yeah, but that's cheating.

- It's true, but if you cheat

too, then it will be fair.

Besides, who will know?

- Probably nobody.

- No one at all. (laughing)

- [Annie] We've got her now.

- Wait a minute, I'll

tell you who's gonna know,

I'm gonna know, and if Manny

wants to cheat, fine, let him,

but I'm no cheater, I'm

in the Electric Company.

You know what.

(upbeat music)

- What does that say?

- It says merit, and that's

what I'm going to win on,

my own merit.

- Merit?

- Merit, yuck, I

prefer cheating.

- That's because you can't

win unless you cheat.

I can and I will win this

game without playing dirty.

I just don't know how yet.

- Hey!

Okay, fortunately,

I found some goats.

Unfortunately, I couldn't

get any of them to dance.

- Annie must have

scrambled the clue,

that's why it doesn't rhyme.

- Fortunately, we're here

to help you unscramble it.

Let's see that message again.

- But isn't that

cheating if you help me?

- No, Annie cheated by

scrambling your clue.

We're just here to

help you unscramble it.

- [Hector] Mm-hmm.

- [Marcus] Mm.

- Okay.

You've been up and down

almost every street,

but where will you

find a goat you dance?

- I got this.

(whirring)

But where will you

find a dog you can eat?

- Dog you can eat?

- Ugh, I think I liked it better

when we had a dancing goat.

(goat brays)

- (gasps) Oh, I've got it!

(upbeat music)

(camera clicks)

A dog you can eat,

that one I can name,

it's called a hot dog,

I'm back in the game.

(Manny grumbles)

- All right, you may

have caught up with me,

but what you don't know

is that Annie's scrambler

and my little robot

caught Jessica cheating.

Show 'em Annie!

- About that, I--

- You did catch her

cheating, right?

- It's not my fault

she didn't cheat!

You're little robot was

supposed to get her to do it!

- I tried, she's too good.

- See?

- All right, looks like I'ma

have to handle this myself.

(tense music)

- There's only one clue to

go, Manny, and we're tied.

Whoever solves the next

clue first, wins the game

and the comic book.

(phone ringing)

If you want to win the

game and the glories.

- First find the building

with the most stories.

Building with the most stories?

That's the Empire

State Building.

It's over stories tall,

which means since I'm

the one with the bicycle,

I'm gonna get there the fastest.

So unfortunately,

Jessica, you lose!

(laughing)

(tense music)

- Hold on, stories, stories.

The library has the most

stories, and I've got it right,

which means I'm the winner

of the Mighty Bright Knight.

- Congratulations, Jessica!

- Mr. Checkers.

- You successfully solved

each individual riddle

and you've beaten

your opponents,

and now, the comic book.

(triumphant music)

- For free?

- Yes.

- [Jessica] Thank you so much.

- There's nothing I love

more than a well-played game.

And so, farewell!

(gentle music)

- Bye Mr. Checkers.

- See ya!

- There you are, you didn't

forget our little deal, did you?

- Deal, what deal?

- Nice try, Manny.

Oh, you've got a big job

ahead of you, little guy.

I haven't cleaned

under my bed in years.

- [Robot] No, no, help me.

- Don't worry, little robot.

- Help, Manny!

- Papi's coming!

(upbeat music)

- Hey!

That looks really cool.

- I still don't get it.

- [Marcus] Well, see.

(upbeat electronic music)

- I just found out how

you can see videos,

pictures, and super

secret information

about your favorite

person ever, me!

Also, anyone else in

the Electric Company,

but more importantly, me!

So go online to pbskidsgo.org.

Go now

(upbeat music)

- [Hector] Hey guys.

It's Hector here from

the Electric Company.

You know, the thing I love

most about our neighborhood

is the people.

Folks from all over live here.

In fact, some of our friends

came all the way

from another planet.

- I am from the planet Skelecki.

- [Hector] They're

called Skeleckian.

- Hey.

- Yes!

- [Hector] For the most

part, they're just like us,

except for a few small things.

- Would you like

to smell my feet?

- Like fresh chocolate

chip cookies.

- [Hector] You can

always spot Skeleckians

by the unique

necklaces they wear.

(high-pitched vocalizing)

But the coolest thing

about the Skeleckians

is all their awesome gadgets.

In fact, one of the

Skeleckians, Dax

has a machine that can shrink

people down smaller than ants.

You might think it's funny that

we have aliens in our hood,

but once you've met some

of our other friends,

you'll see that the

Skeleckians fit right in.

- Whoa, what was that?

- Excuse me.

- [Hector] The Electric

Company is never too far away.

So, keep tuning in.

- You're phone's so hot, Manny.

(children chattering)

- Well, I don't know

when the alarm ends

(Jessica laughing)

to ask.

- [Crew] Whenever you guys.

You know, here you go.

And cut it.

(laughing)

- I can't.

- [Crew] That white thing.

- I shoulda been a model.

- Uh, hold that there.

Can we just pull

that frame clear?

- I-G-H-T makes the

same sound as I.

Wait a minute.
