- Here are your five words.
Capsule.
A capsule is a small container
that holds something inside.
Orbit.
To orbit is to revolve
or move around something.
Monitor.
A monitor is the
screen on a computer.
Slightly.
Slightly means
just a little bit.
Navigate.
To navigate is to figure out
how to get somewhere
and then get there.
Okay, so we have
capsule, orbit, monitor,
slightly, and navigate.
Watch out for them
in today's show.
- Your name is Dexter
Bluster Blooperment.
Wait, did I spell
that right, Dex?
- Yes, very good.
- Great, and I just
wanted to thank you again
for letting me write an article
for the school newspaper
about how you make
cheese on your planet.
- Well, what your readers
may find interesting is
that we send our
cheese into space.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Into space?
- Yeah, that's right.
- Oh Dex, this is going
to make a great story.
- I'm excited.
I can't wait to
show this to you.
- Oh, I can't wait to see it.
- The Esclecian way of making
cheese is so interesting.
- Uh huh, I can't wait either.
- Look on this monitor.
You can see my ball of
cheese in a capsule in space.
- Oh, I see.
The cheese is floating
around inside the capsule
which is like a
little room, right?
- Yes, and here's a view of
the Earth from the capsule.
- [Lisa] Oh.
- My capsule steering
wheel suitcase.
(giggling)
- But tell me, why do you
send the cheese into space?
- Well, it's like when
you make cookies and
you put them in the oven and
they come out golden brown.
Well, we put our
cheese in a capsule and
since there's no
gravity in space,
the cheese floats around and
comes out nice and fluffy.
- Nice and fluffy.
- And now I'm going to
have to navigate the cheese
back down to Earth.
(stomping)
- So you drive the
cheese back to Earth.
How do you do that?
- Oh, well, I use this monitor
to see where I'm going and then
I steer with my remote
control cheese steering wheel.
Oh no! My steering
wheel's missing!
- And the words on the
side of your suitcase
have been scrambled.
This looks like the
work of Annie Scrambler.
- But how will I get the
cheese down from outer space?
- Hey you guys!
Come on, yeah
Seek the power,
feel the power
Feel the power,
you can plug it in
It's electric,
electric company
You're connected,
electric company
It's electric,
electric company
Electric, electric company
Yo the power we perfected
is electrically connected
So use it as directed and
expect to be respected
Turn it on and you will see
That you belong
in the company
Feel the power,
feel the power
Oh feel the power
You can plug it in
Plug it in
everybody
Electric company

- Why would Annie Scrambler
steel my steering wheel?
- Because I was picked to
write for the school newspaper
and she wasn't.
- Oh.
- You know what I don't get
is, where is the cheese?
- It's orbiting
around the Earth.
- Get out.
- Well, it's true.
I'll show you on
my capsule monitor.
- Yeah, I remember you
explaining to me this process.
It's so cool.
See, here's the capsule
orbiting around the Earth,
just like the moon
orbits around the Earth.
- And if you look at the screen,
you can monitor the
cheese'S orbits.
Show him, Dex.
- Okay.
- Oh, okay, so it's like
there's a cheese camera
inside of the capsule so you
can keep an eye on the cheese.
- Yeah, but if we don't
find the steering wheel,
the cheese will
be stuck in space.
- That is tough, I know.
- No, you don't know.
My grandmother's
birthday is tomorrow and
I was going to give her
the cheese as a present.
She loves cheese.
She's crazy for cheese.
It's unnatural how
much she loves cheese.
I could have made her so happy.
Where's Annie Scrambler?!
- Don't worry Dex, we'll
find Annie Scrambler
and we'll get that
steering wheel back.
Don't you worry Dexter
Blusterblooperment
We're gonna get you
out of this predicament
Have no fear,
don't you worry
We are here, don't you worry
Listen Dex, here's the deal
We're gonna find
that steering wheel
You're gonna fly
that ball of cheese
Right on back to Earth, hey!
It'll be here just in time
For your granny's birthday
We're gonna serve it up
with crackers on a tray
And I can hear what
your granny's gonna say
She'll say, Dex you'
know I've always been
Something of a cheese freak
And Dex you have
made a cheese
That has made your
granny's knees weak
I love this cheese
It's so fluffy
I'd like more please
Fluffy fluffy,
it's yummy cheese
And it's not plants
I love this cheese
And my grandson, I love you
And your fluffy, and
your fluffy cheese
- Oh, now let's go
find that cheese.
Jess, Keith, Hector,
go search the neighborhood
for Annie Scrambler?
- Okay, cool.
- Okay, let's go.
- We'll text you if we find her.
- Good, let's go
back to the park
and see what we can find there.
- Okay.
- I'll tell you one thing.
- What's that?
- When I write my
newspaper story,
I'm gonna tell the truth
about Annie Scrambler.
She is not gonna like it.
- Yeah.
What time is it?
It's time to have some fun
What time is it?
It's time to have some fun
Fu u u u u un
Fu u u u u un
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 the sticky bun
If you just can't wait
to jump from your seat
Then unleash the uh
and have some fun
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh
Uh uh uh, uh uh
What time is it?
It's time to have some fun
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh
You know I'm a fan
of having some fun

- [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.
(gasping)
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
the 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.
- So, what has happened so far?
- My special cheese
is inside a capsule.
- A capsule? In space?
- Yes, we make our cheese in it.
The capsule has to
orbit the Earth,
you know, circle around it.
- [Man] Orbit.
Orbit, orbit.
- I need my steering wheel to
bring the capsule down
to me and it's gone!
- Hey you guys!
- Dex, you seem slightly upset.
- Slightly upset?
No, slightly means a little bit.
I'm not a little bit upset.
I'm a lot upset!
- Who would want
your steering wheel?
- Annie.
- Annie?
Dex we will save
your orbiting cheese
First we'll find Annie
Follow me please.
- I'm really worried
about finding this cheese.
- We're is Annie Scrambler
and that steering wheel?
- Well, at least nobody's
going to be able to
drive the capsule
without my monitor.
(beeping signal)
- What's going on?
- Somebody's driving the
capsule without my monitor!
- Oh, and whoever it is,
isn't much of a driver.
- Manny, maybe I'd better drive.
- You promised that if I
helped you I could drive.
- Yeah, I know, but--
- And didn't we use
my technical genius
to figure out how
to attach my monitor
to this steering wheel so we
could drive in the first place?
- Yes, Manny but--
- And aren't we now able to
keep track of the cheese capsule
by monitoring on the monitor?!
- Yes Manny, but you see,
now that we're here and--
- But what?
- You are a terrible driver.
- I'm figuring it out!
See, look.
Nice and steady.
- Yeah, real steady.
Ah, Manny.
(laughing)
There's um, there's a
button on the steering wheel
that says instructions, yeah.
Why don't you, I don't know,
push it and get instructions!
- Instructions are for people
who don't know
what they're doing
and I am a technical genius.
(laughing)
- Hey genius, look out
for that satellite!
(screaming)
- It's flying out of control.
Oh no.
- What?
- It's no longer in orbit.
- [Woman] That's uh, bad.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's, that's bad.
Look, the Earth's gravity is
pulling it towards the ground.
It'll crash and it will
be smashed to smithereens.
- Smithereens.
(dramatic orchestral music)
Hey look at what I found
I want to share it with you
Transform my H
I can't wait to show you
all the things it can do
When it comes behind
the letter C, S, and T
It changes up the sound, stick
around and see what I mean
C all by itself
makes a hard sound KA
Transformer H comes around
with a new sound CHA
It turns cat into chat
Case into chase
Cow into chow
I think you got it now
S oh yes, you
don't have to guess
When it's all alone, it
makes a sound like a snake
But add the H and it's
a whole different thing
Sake turns to shake
Same turns to
shame, whoa yeah
And last but not
least this is the T
By itself, I tend to
think it is hard as can be
But when you add
the H, you will see
Tick becomes thick
And tree becomes three
Whoa, transformer H
Wooooooo
Ohhh
Transformer H
- Of all the letters
in the world,
I think the letter H
is the most powerful.
In fact, if Manny Spanbonie
were to be a letter,
I would definitely be an H.
You will see how
some letters bend
at the mere will
whenever the H is near.
Let's take the letter T,
which thinks it's so great
just because it
makes the Tuh sound,
but add an H after it, and
it magically transforms
into the TH sound.
Not so tough anymore, huh T?
With an H, ten becomes then.
Tick becomes thick.
t*nk becomes thank.
And then, let's not forget the S
which thinks it's so
smart and sassy because
it makes the SSS sound.
But then H comes along
and sack becomes shack.
Sort becomes short.
Sell becomes shell,
which is why Manny Spambonie
would definitely be an H.
I got a pocket full of H's
that I'm not afraid to use.
I keep a couple extras
in the laces of my shoes
When I run into a cat,
I can have a little chat
If a bat is in my path,
I can make it take a bath
I've got a pocket full of H's
that I'm not afraid to use
I've got a pocket full of H's
that I'm not afraid to use
(panting using the H sound)
And if I see my buddy Gus,
I can always make him gush
One summer up at camp, I
made him b*at the champ
I've got a pocket full of H's
that I'm not afraid to use
I've got a pocket full of H's
that I'm not afraid to use
I love using my H's
Hey!
- I use this to
get myself clean.
B A, ba, oo, check it out,
that T has a
transformer H after it,
so together they
make the TH sound.
So it's ba, th,
bath, bath, T, U,
well, that's how the
U would sound if there
were a silent E at the
end, but there isn't.
So that U just
makes the uh sound.
Bath, tu, buh, bathtub.
- Oh no, we've left orbit.
We're out of control!
- That's it, give me the wheel.
- But--
- Manny, give me the wheel!
I'm driving!
(screaming)
Now, for some instructions.
Pull hands slightly back, okay,
so just a little bit back.
(sighing)
See? I too am a
technical genius.
Soon the cheese will be mine
and maybe I'll write a
little story of my own.
- Come on guys,
we'll find her soon.
Come on.
- Where is that Annie Scrambler?
- I don't know, but I hope
she doesn't have the cheese.
- Me too, I am ready for some
fluffy cheese from outer space.
- Yeah, come on, Ed.
- Who isn't?
(whirling and beeping)
- [Lisa] Look, she pushed
the instructions button.
- Oh no, now she can
navigate the capsule
wherever she wants
and take the cheese
and there's nothing
we can do about it.
- Now hold on.
She's doing whatever the
computer tells her to do.
- True.
- So, what if we tell
the computer to tell her
what to do.
- Okay Lisa, now we're going
to navigate the capsule
straight to us.
Tell Annie to turn a little
to the right, just slightly.
- Okay, here goes.
Oh, a little smaller.
- Yeah, yeah.
- [Lisa] Turn slightly right.
- Turn slightly right, okay.
- It worked! She's turning.
(laughing)
- Okay, what next?
- Okay, have her push
slightly forward.
- Push slightly forward.
- It worked again!
We've navigated the
capsule straight to us.
- Look, there it is.
- Great, okay, have her
press the hover button
so the capsule stays
still in the air.
- Mmhmm.
- Press hover button? Okay.
- Uh, hey, Annie?
- Yeah?
- Shouldn't we be able
to see the capsule?
- Now, have her press the
open cheese door button.
- Press open cheese door. Hmm.
- Wait!
Look.
- [Annie] That looks
like Lisa and Dex!
- Don't touch that button!
They've tricked you
into flying the cheese
right into their hands.
- She's not opening
the cheese door.
- Oh, I'll send it again.
- Okay.
- With an exclamation point.
- Press open cheese
door, ha! Phooey!
Gimme some room.
I'm gonna fly this
baby out of here.
Yeehaw!
- [Echo] Yeehaw!
- That's the voice
of Annie Scrambler.
- This way.
- Come on, run.
- Oh no.
- They must be on to us.
- All is lost.
- Quickly!
- To the cheese!
(ringing phone)
- I just got a text from Hector.
They've found Annie and Mannie.
Let's go.
- The capsule should
be above head,
right,
now!
- Wait, there it is!
- And there's Mannie and Annie.
- Oh, I have a new
respect for you.
I can not wait to
read all about me
in your newspaper article.
- Thank you.
And now for the cheese.
- [Electronic Voice]
Cheese door opening.
- Oh no.
- Look.
- Run Mannie, run!
- [Electronic Voice]
Cheese released.
(dramatic orchestral music)
- Oh no.
(cheering)
(clapping)
- Sorry Mannie, this
cheese belongs to Dex,
his granny, and everyone who
believes in fluffy cheese.
(frustrated grumbling)
- We'll take that
steering wheel, Annie.
- This is not how it was
supposed to turn out at all!
- You can read all
about how it turned out
in the newspaper, Annie.
And it's quite a story
and you're in it.

- I can't go in
there without you.
- Why not?
- Because it's a haunted house.
It's scary in there.
- Surely you can go
in there without me.
- No way, I go through
life without socks,
without deodorant, without
all my teeth, please, please.
- All right, all right.
If you can't go in
there without me,
I'll go in there with you.
- That was fun, wasn't it?
- The next time we go in there,
there's one thing I
want to take with me.
- What?
- My mommy.
- What's the problem?
- We've got to cheer for
the football team tonight,
but we've lost
some of our signs.
We can b*at and won't win?
It doesn't make any sense.
- You just need a
they and a them.
Cheer chickens!
(clucking)
Present.
- We can b*at them
and they won't win.
That's it! That's perfect.
Thanks so much Captain Cluck.
Do you want to
stay for the game?
- We might have to.
They don't know how to get down.
- I'm Special
Agent, Jack Bowser.
Not only am I stuck
in this cheesy place,
it's about to explode and I
can't cr*ck the code to get out.
Help me read this.
They both think
that cheese stinks.
No cheese for them!
They both think
that cheese stinks.
No cheese for them.
Woo hoo!
- [Announcer] Meet astronaut
Zippy Johnstone's mother.
- Hey!
I wonder what this one does?
- [Announcer] Now she's
orbiting the Earth
and he has to navigate
her back home.
- Zippy.
- Mommy!
- You have got to navigate
me home right now.
- Just enter the
code. It's , --
- Zippy, I need to
hear the rest of it.
Huh? Zippy!
Five, three, seven.
- [Electronic Voice]
That entry is invalid.
Please enter the valid code.
- I don't know the valid code.
If I knew the valid code, I
would have put it in there.
- [Electronic Voice]
Please don't yell at me.
- Oh, what's this button do?
- [Announcer] My
Mom Is In Orbit.
- And that is how the
Electric Company and
their good friend Dex
overcame the pranksters
to save the fluffy and
delicious cheese from space.
Lisa, that was
really well written.
I'm proud of you.
- Oh, thanks.
Well, I'm proud of Dex.
This cheese,
mm, it's delicious.
- Oh, thanks.
They're coming, they're coming!
- Oh, okay.
- [Granny] This
is so mysterious,
where are you young
people taking me?
- Right this way Granny
Busterblooperment.
- [Group] Surprise!
- Oh goodness, oh!

Oh, is this?
- Yes it is, granny,
and I made it myself!
- You did?!
Oh, you know this
is my favorite.
Oh!
(laughing)
- Well, happy birthday.
Give it a try.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh.
- Yeah, eat it up, eat it up.
- Oh!
- Tastes good, right?
It's fluffy.
(upbeat rock music)
That you know,
I've always been
Something of a cheese freak
That you made a cheese has
made your granny's knees weak
I love this cheese
It's so fluffy
I'd like more please
Fluffy, fluffy,
fluffy cheese
It's not flat
I love this cheese
And my grandson, I love
you, love you, love you
Love this fluffy,
