01x22 - The Flube Whisperer

[bunniefuu]

(upbeat music)

- Hey there Keith,

what have you got?

- It's my egg.

I saw the ad for

it in my comic book

and I sent away

for it in the mail.

See?

- Oh.

Hatch a Skeleckian Flube Egg.

Oh cool, is that it's cage?

- Not a cage, a biosphere.

- Oh, there's a whole sealed

off environment in there?

- Yeah, it has everything

from the flube's

natural surroundings

that it needs to live.

- Cool, oh yeah.

It comes with Skeleckian water,

Skeleckian air, Skeleckian soil,

it even has Skeleckian

plants growing in there.

- Yeah, that way once

the flube egg hatches,

it'll have everything

from it's environment.

- Wow.

- The flube egg is supposed

to hatch any day now.

So I'm carrying around

the biosphere with me

so I don't miss it.

- Hey there little guy.

Wow, this thing is really cold.

- Really?

Something's wrong.

- Is it supposed to be a

certain temperature in there?

- Yeah, it can't get

too hot or too cold

or the egg won't hatch.

So I need to keep my

eye on the thermometer.

- What's the temperature?

- It says degrees but

it's supposed to be .

- Well can you raise

the temperature?

- Yeah with this remote.

(beeping)

- Now the thermometer

says it's degrees.

Seems like the

remote isn't working.

- Oh no, the temperature

drops below degrees

and the flube will die.

- We are not gonna

let that happen.

- [Both] Hey you guys!

(upbeat music)

Oh, come on now

Feel the power

Feel the power

Feel the power,

yo, and plug it in

It's electric,

Electric Company

Get connected,

Electric Company

It's electric,

Electric Company

Get connected,

Electric Company

Yo, the power we perfected

is electrically connected

So use it as directed and

it's meant to be respected

Just turn it on

And you will see

That you belong

in the company

Feel the power,

feel the power

Oh feel the power

Feel the power,

yo, and plug it in

Feel the power

Feel the power

Everybody, yo,

and plug it in

Electric Company

Electric Company

Electric Company

It's Electric Company

- Okay, guys.

I got the help line.

- Oh, okay, put it on speaker.

- [Operator] You've

reached the Skeleckian

Biosphere Help Line.

If you need assistance with

the Skeleckian Biosphere

stay on the line.

An operator will be

with you in days.

- days?

- [Operator] That's right.

days after we return from our

Spangerdankenpuddin Vacation.

- What's Spangerdankenpuddin?

- It's a day Skeleckian

rubber band festival.

- days?

They must really like

their rubber bands.

- Irrelevant.

We need to fix

this biosphere now.

- Well, shouldn't that

thing have a thermostat

so you control the heat?

- This remote is supposed

to control the thermostat

inside the biosphere but right

now it's not really working.

- So how do we fix

the thermometer?

I mean thermostat.

You know, I always

get thermometer and

thermostat confused.

- Well a thermometer tells

what the temperature is.

And a thermostat is what you use

to change the temperature.

- Right, right.

- Okay, look.

We have the instructions.

Why don't we just open up

the biosphere and fix it?

- No, no, no!

See, if you open

up the biosphere

then you'll let all

the Skeleckian air out

and destroy the environment

and then the flube will die.

- Yeah, it's kind of like

emptying all of the water

out of a fish t*nk.

- Exactly.

We need to protect

its environment.

The only problem is that

there's no way to get

into the biosphere to

change the thermostat.

(dramatic music)

- I'll go get the

Shrinkinator .

It's the portable

Shrinkinator .

- No, no, I know this machine.

This is the Skeleckian

shrinking machine, right?

- Yep.

- So you think that this machine

can shrink Keith small enough

to get him inside the biosphere?

- Trust me.

This can make him very small.

- Like, tiny?

- Smaller than that.

- Like itsy-bitsy?

- Smaller than that.

- Okay, let's just

go with minuscule.

Come on, let's go.

- Keith, are you

sure you know how

to fix a thermostat?

- Well, if I follow

the instructions

how hard can it be?

- Okay.

(whirring)

- Whoa, I'm minuscule.

(funky music)

(birds chirping)

Hi, I'm Keith.

Don't worry, I'm gonna

fix the thermostat

so you can hatch.

Okay, buddy?

Whoa.

This must be the control panel.

Okay, this is gonna be

harder than I thought.

Connect the blue wire to the,

where's the rest of the page?

G-R?

Connect the blue wire to the gr?

That doesn't make sense.

Gr starts a lot of words.

(alarm sounding)

Uh-oh.

- Do you think he fixed it?

- Well, according

to the thermometer,

it's getting colder in there.

- Look, a tiny word ball.

- Yeah, yeah.

It's minuscule.

Here, let's enlarge it.

- The instructions

are missing a page.

Oh, we gotta get

Keith some help.

(laughing)

- Okay, I hate to say it,

but we need someone who's

really good with electronics.

- Manny Spamboni?

Oh, you have gotta be kidding!

- Well, he is good

with electronics.

- Yeah, he's also really

good at causing trouble.

- Well can you think

of a better solution?

- Something tells me this

is gonna be a bad idea.

- I don't think Keith

needs to see this.

(upbeat music)

- What's the game?

- I don't know.

- Fl, as in flat.

- Flatten your stomachs.

(inhaling)

Uh, actually I'm flabby.

(laughing)

- Fly.

I'm flying.

- Ooh, you are

flapping, flap, flap.

- Flapjacks.

Flapjacks.

- Oh, fling.

I'm flinging flapjacks.

- Oh, flavorful.

- Ooh, flavor, flavor, flavor.

- Flavorfull.

- Flavor flapjacks.

(muffled speech)

- Yummy flavor.

- Flavor.

(upbeat music)

(dramatic music)

- You know what sound I love?

Fr.

F-R.

(giggling)

You know what

sound I don't love?

Fl.

F-L.

Go away, fl.

Oh, hello you sweet little fr.

(giggling)

I love fr.

With fr, it's always Friday

and I'm first in

line for frankfurters

and french fries.

(buzzing)

Fl's back.

Fl's a flop.

What does fl give us?

Fleas?

I hate fleas.

Flat, I hate getting a

flat on my bicycle tire.

Flowers.

Well I don't mind flowers.

All right, fl.

We can be friends.

Don't expect me to change

my name to Flancine.

(upbeat music)

What time is it

It's time to have some fun

What time is it

It's time to have some fun

Fu, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh

Fu, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh

The time is right

To have some fun

'Cause the short U sound

Has just begun

If you want that

walk to pick up speed

Then bust out the uh

And watch it run

When you munch on lunch

And you need a treat

The uh's got your

back with a sticky bun

If you just can't wait

to jump from your seat

Then unleash the

uh and have some fu

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-un.

Fu, uh-uh, uh-un

What time is it

Time to have some fun

Uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh

You know I'm a fan

of having some fun

Uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-un

- [Announcer] Today on

The Big Face Face Off,

it's Jessica versus Francine.

- In this duel, I

will use the uh sound.

- I will use the

uh sound as well.

- Too much sun.

I have an umbrella.

- I will build a hut

to shut out the sun.

- I will cut a hole in your hut.

- I will climb onto

the hump of this camel

and we will run to

a tub of icy water.

Ah, and the water is

cool as a cucumber.

- Oh yeah?

I will jump into my own

tub of icy cold water.

(slurping)

This is not my lucky day.

(upbeat music)

(somber music)

- Okay.

Are we sure we wanna

ask Manny for help?

- We have no choice.

We're desperate.

- You're telling me.

(funky music)

- I didn't do it.

- Didn't do what?

- Aren't you here about that

smell in your locker at school?

- What smell in my locker?

- Nevermind.

- Manny Spamboni if you--

- Okay.

Just forget about that

for a second, okay?

Manny, Manny.

We need a favor.

- A favor?

(laughing)

Oh, you were being serious?

- Forget it.

I knew that Manny wouldn't help

save Keith's pet flube.

- A pet?

- Yeah, I mean,

Manny doesn't know

what it feels like

to have something

small and defenseless.

Something that depends

on you for comfort

and warmth.

(uplifting music)

- Says you, Hector!

It's probably not expected

I'm not usually effected

By the feeling so connected

to a little bitty thing

But I have emotions

even if I don't show 'em

Don't assume that

it's always the same

I know how to care

about something

And someone be the

closest kind of friend

You can rely and depend on

And even though you

don't think it's true

Even a guy like me

knows a thing or two

About love

Oh love

When you call I'm there

Need a hand, I'm there

Need a coat, have mine

It's all flowers

and sunshine

Taking a walk in the park

Riding on my bike

'till it's dark

Sharing and caring

Laughing together

No matter which way

the wind may blow

You know real love

The kind that makes

you wanna celebrate

You know, hey,

drop the confetti

Oh love

Oh love

Like ice cream and cake

And making a smooshie face

And that's not all

I'm not done, wait

Love, oh love

When you call, I'm there

Need a hand, I care

Ain't nothing that

compares to love

I don't think this

is gonna work.

- Sure, it will.

Okay, so I'll shrink

you down with this

and then after you

fix the thermostat

we'll zap you right

back out again.

- And back to my normal size?

- Of course.

Do you really think we'd

leave you minuscule forever?

- That would be kind

of funny, though.

Like a mini minuscule Manny

Spamboni running around?

- Hey!

- Hector?

- Okay, we would never do that.

- And you're gonna take care of

my little robot, too, right?

- Sure.

- Okay, well, I guess

I'll tell Keith.

(peaceful music)

- Help is coming.

Excellent.

Maybe they found a

Skeleckian repair man.

Maybe they found another

instruction manual.

Or maybe they found--

(laughing)

Oh no.

Oh brother.

(upbeat music)

- D.

- Ud.

- Dud.

- T.

- Ub.

- Tub.

- C.

- Ut.

- Cut.

- Aye, let's make

the short U a long U.

- Okay.

- C.

- Ute.

- Cute.

- T.

- Oob.

- Tube.

- D.

- Ood.

- Dude.

(upbeat music)

- Hi, Mrs. Pews.

I'm raising money for my school.

- I could use a ruler.

Not the kind of ruler

who rules a country.

The inch kind.

- I'm all out.

How about a musician?

- I can't have loud

music in the house.

- What about your very

own log flume ride?

- I always wanted my own flume.

(yelling)

(upbeat music)

(bell ringing)

Let me tell you about

a friend of mine

Goes around changing

words all the time

But he's kind of

sneaky, yes sirree

Come on

I make the plan,

he flies a plane

I hold a can, he

carries a cane

Cook with a pan,

now he's at it again

Looking through

my window pane

Silent E

Oh how it changes everything

Silent E

It's elementary

Silent E

It's simple, come

on, try with me

Cap, cape

At, ate

You got it

Yeah

Silent E turns slop to slope

It gives a little

hop a lot of hope

It shapes a little

glob into a globe

You see

An E can change

a bit to bite

A strip to stripe,

a grip to gripe

a shin to shine

Well I don't mind

Let it spin

right up my spine

Silent E

Oh, what a great discovery

Silent E

It's elementary

Silent E

Oh who knew how

much fun it'd be

Hop

Hope

Shin

Shine

Now you gotta sing

along, everybody

Silent E

When it follows the vowel

It changes the sound

Silent E

Silent E is everywhere

You got it now

Silent E

It's simple, come

on, sing with me

Now I'm gonna

give you a word

And you just

add the silent E

Now when I seem mad

and you add the E

What do you get

We get made

Now when I say slim

and you add the E

What do you get

We get slime

And when I say not

and you add the E

What do you get

We get note

Silent E

Silent E

Silent E

(laughing)

- [Man] Great job, great job.

(upbeat music)

- Well, Keith?

Nice to see you, too.

- Look, Manny.

Whatever prank you have planned,

just save it.

I need to fix this

thermostat now.

- I'm not here to

pull a prank, Keith.

I'm here to help.

Let me at the control panel.

- Now the instructions say--

- Instructions?

(laughing)

Who needs instructions?

I can do this blindfolded.

- What are you doing?

You're gonna make the

temperature colder.

- So what, this is how I work.

Listen, if you wanna

make an omelet,

you gotta break a few,

poor choice of words.

- If the temperature

drops below degrees

then the flube egg will die.

- Really?

You didn't tell me that.

- Why don't you just

go sit someplace.

I'll fix the thermostat myself.

- Fine.

I don't need this.

I'll have you know I could be

at a Spangerdankenpuddin

celebration right now.

I've been saving my

rubber bands for weeks.

Hi, egg.

I'm Manny.

I came here to help you

but some people

don't think I can be

trusted with important stuff.

You trust me, right egg?

Oh, you're cold.

- All right, Manny.

Where do you think I

should put the blue wire?

- I thought you didn't

trust me to help you.

- For some reason I trust

you to help that egg.

- All right, let's get to work.

- All right.

So the instructions

said to connect

the blue wire to the gr.

What's the rest of that word?

Green wire, gray wire?

- Grid, how about grid?

- Good idea, grid.

We did it!

We did it!

- We saved the egg!

(cheering)

- Something's moving inside.

Egg, are you okay, egg?

- It's hatching.

(dramatic music)

- Wow.

- Whoa.

(cracking)

(dramatic music)

(giggling)

- I thought the egg,

when it came out,

would look less--

- Less like an egg?

- Yeah.

(chirping)

Ow, he's hitting me.

Why are you hitting me?

I thought I helped you.

- It said in the manual that

that's the head butt of love.

It's the flube version of a hug.

- Headbutt of love, eh?

(chirping)

- I guess your job here is done.

Are you ready to go?

- Hold on a sec.

Now I'm ready.

(chirping)

(upbeat music)

Oh, let me tell

you about my love

Of the silent E

Don't make a sound

Oh, E

Sometimes I have a plan

And when I add an

E it becomes plane

And I can take that plane

And fly away

Even through a hurricane

Uh-Oh, and then I land

in the middle of jungle

And I get to watch a

beautiful handsome ape

Go swinging by on a vine

Unfortunately I

don't have a dime

To give it but that's okay

'Cause I get

back on the plane

And I just rode on

And fly away

Silent E, silent

E, it works for me

Silent E, silent E

Silent E, it works for me

(upbeat music)

- You have to use your

lips to play this.

F-L, oh wait, there's no

E in between that F and L

so it's just Fl.

Fl-uh, fluh.

Wait, see that

silent E at the end?

That silent E means that the U

isn't going to be uh.

It's going to be a

long U sound like ooh.

Starting from the top.

Fl-oo, flute.

Flute.

This is how you play a flute.

You put an O like this

and then you put your

tongue right here

and then you blow out

of your mouth and it.

(spitting)

(blowing flute)

(upbeat music)

Silent E is a ninja

Silent E is a ninja

Silent E is a ninja

Silent E is a ninja

I didn't notice when he came

I cannot accept

any praise or blame

I was home pushing

my mop like a dope

Next thing you know

Then I started to mope

And at the end of my rope

I was hopping

My buddy turned

the hop into hope

And then he made his escape

But not before he turned

my cap into a cape

And now I look

totally insane

I had a plan to

capture my man

He turned my

plan into a plane

Ah, silent E is a ninja

Silent E is a ninja

The silent E,

he will get 'ya

Silent E is a ninja

Where'd he go

Where'd he go

Where'd he go, where'd he go

Where'd he go

Where'd he go

He's a ninja

(beatboxing)

(upbeat music)

- I'm special agent Jack Bowser.

This takes the cake and

it's about to explode.

But I can't cr*ck

the code to get out.

Help me read this.

Da, Dane is a teenage app, ape.

He came to the game

with five cakes.

Dane is a teenage ape.

He came to the game

with five cakes.

(yelling)

(upbeat music)

(rhythmic music)

- Manny, I just

wanted to say thanks

for the way you helped

me in the biosphere.

- Help?

Me, help you?

That's hilarious.

(laughing)

icsnay on the elpay.

You're gonna ruin

my prankster cred.

Shh.

- All right, whatever.

- Pss, Keith.

- What?

- I figure you could shrink it

and make it minuscule so

the flube can play with it.

- A rubber band ball?

- For Spangerdankenpuddin?

He is Skeleckian after all.

- Thanks, Manny.

I mean, thanks for nothing.

- I never thought Manny Spamboni

would come through

like that in a pinch.

Do you think this means

he's gonna stop pulling pranks?

- Manny Spamboni!

Do you wanna explain to me

how this bag of

dirty sweat socks

got inside my locker?

- Mm, maybe it was a gift

from a secret admirer.

(laughing)

- Stop it, oh, stop already!

- I will not count on it.

- Okay, okay, who am I?

(laughing)

(upbeat music)

- Wanna beatbox just like Shock?

Go online to pbskidsgo.org

and you can mix your own beatbox

and share it with your friends.

There are tons of

other cool games

you can play like Music Man

and Jack Bowser.

Better get playing if you

wanna be as good as Shock.

- [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 Skelecky.

- [Hector] They're

called Skeleckians.

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.

- You can always spot

Skeleckians by the unique

necklaces they wear.

(gobbling)

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.

(yodeling)

- We need to preserve

its environment.

The only problem

is that in order,

there's no other way

to get to the biosphere

inside of the.

- [Director] Okay,

let's take that.

- What, Keith?

- I will get the.

(blabbering)

Sorry.

- Take your time.

- Sorry.

- [Director] And action.

- So you think that this machine

can shrink Keith

enough small enough

because he's enough of a man

to get inside the biosphere.
