03x42 - A Fistful of Confetti

[bunniefuu]

Okay, here are your five words:

Record -- If you hold the record

for something, it means you've

done it better than anyone.

Possible -- If something is

possible, it could happen.

Impossible -- If something is

impossible, it can't be done.

Likely --

If something is likely,

there is a good chance

it will happen.

Most -- The biggest amount

of something is the most.

So we have: Record, Possible,

Impossible, Most, and Likely.

Watch out for them

in today's show.

This is it, the neighborhood

record for the most pancakes

in a single stack is .

If Hector Ruiz can get one

more pancake on that stack,

he would have pancakes!

A new record.

Keith, show 'em.

They say it

can't be done.

But they don't know my brother!

C'mon, that's it.

(crowd gasping)

C'mon...

Yeah!

(cheering)

Tuxedo Pete says it's good!

Hector Ruiz has made it

to the big book of

neighborhood records.

Neighborhood Record Day is on.

This is the one day a year

when everyone tries to break

the neighborhood record,

even me.

I'm going to try to break

the record for the most

broken records filmed

on Record Day.

Right now the record is .

Do you think I can do it?

Watch and find out.

She's going

after the record?

But filming

is my thing.

What do I do?

I've got an idea.

Shhh! Gilda!

I'm thinking.

I've got it.

Three...Four...

Marcus Barnes is trying to break

the record for the most quarters

balanced on his nose.

Right now the record

is quarters.

Five...

This could be awhile.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

You knocked the

quarters off my face!

I am here to

announce the record

I intend to break

for Record Day.

Makeup!

Oh, really?

And what record would

that be this year?

Rudest prankster?

Haha...no.

I am going to break the record

for filming the most records

broken on Record Day.

Wait but, that's

what I'm going for.

Who will break the record?

I will of course.

Toodles!

Hey, you guys!

Jess?

Huh?

We're right here.

Oh, right.

Bad habit I guess.

You want these?

Sure.

There's like

a thousand.



the power we perfected

is electrically connected

So use it as directed

And expect to be respected

Electric Company

Electric Company

Electric Company...

Electric company!

I can't let

her b*at me!

I need to film

some other record!

Somebody needs to

break a record!

Marcus, can you balance

something else on your face?

Well I can try,

I mean, it's poss --

Hector, can you make something

else, like largest smoothie?

Longest hot dog?

Well I can --

Okay, Keith,

do Something!

Okay, just A: Chill.

B: You're going to need more

than just us to b*at Francine.

That's true.

Jess, what about all the kids

in the neighborhood

that watch your vlog?

Why don't you just

reach out to them?

Oh, yeah...Yeah!

I could set up a tipline

on my website.

Thanks, Hector!

Okay viewers, here's the deal.

I need your help to film

the most broken records

on Record Day.

So if you or someone you know

wants to break a record today,

post a message on my site.

She's asking for tips?

We have to stop her!

I was thinking

that maybe --

Gilda, Gilda, Gilda...

I come up with the

devious plans around here.

Of course,

you're so right.

This hot dog man

is so slow...

I've got it!

If it's record breaking tips

she wants,

it's record breaking tips

she'll get...Fake tips.

Dear Jessica,

my name is Frank...

And I'm trying to break

the record for the most hot dogs

sold in a single day.

I've got my first tip.

The hot dog man Frank is

preparing to break the record

for the most hot

dogs sold in one day.

The record right now is .

So Frank, tell me, how many

hot dogs have you sold so far?

Including this one

for you? Two.

But this will be

my masterpiece.

Oh, come on!

It's impossible to break

the record at that speed.

Record? I don't know

anything about a record.

Of course you do.

You posted a message

on my website.

I don't have time for posts, I

only have time for hot dog art.

That's it, I can't

work with this relish.

Ugh! Francine!

Haha, I win again.



I rock at checkers.

Congratulations to you,

little metal thing,

for breaking the record for most

checker games won by a robot.

Another broken record brought to

you by me, Francine Carruthers.

While Jessica still remains

distracted by hot dogs.

You know I set

a record once.

Which one?

Longest tap dance

by a hamster.

Ta-Daa!

That wasn't very long.

Well, I'm the only

tap dancing hamster

so it was an easy

record to break.

Look, if you want to watch

something a little more

entertaining, you'll have

to watch this...Ya-Da!



Need a little something to make

your sentences match your mood?

A simple squirt of Expression!

can fit any mood.

Or like you had

too much sugar --

Now available in a convenient

travel size...Expression!

"House of Horrors,"scene ...

and action!

Oh no, I've got to

get out of here.

CUT!

Mummy, what was that?

I was reading the lines

from the cue card.

Yeah but, you need

to be horrified.

See? Look at these

exclamation points.

That means that you need

to add some feeling like --

OH NO! I'VE GOT TO

GET OUT OF HERE!

Oh No!

I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!

Well, that had feeling,

but the wrong feeling.

Remember, you have to

sound scared, not excited!

Let's try it again.

You can do it!

And action!

Oh No! I'VE GOT TO

GET OUT OF HERE!

And cut!

Way to go, Mummy!

Mummy?

Where is he going?

Weird...

I'm an actor, which means

that I have to be able to

play all sorts of

different characters.

Take this line...

Now, I could perform that line

in hundreds of different ways.

Let's see if you can

guess my character, ready?

I was an ice cream loving

lion tamer named Ned.

Did you get it?

Oh, okay.

Well, here's another one...

That time I was a space alien

named Nordeldorp,

who doesn't have ice cream

on his home planet.

Poor thing.

Here's another...

That time I was the ice cream

man's five-year-old son, Clark.

It's weird that Clark

calls his dad ice cream man

but Clark is a weird kid.

Let's see what else...

Oh! The ice cream man!

And a note...

(applause)

Thanks, ice cream man.

So what's happened so far?

I'm going to break

the record for filming

the most neighborhood records.

So am I.

Hey, you guys!

I have to film more than

records being broken,

is that even possible?

Sure it's possible.

The guy who holds the record

filmed records being broken

in one day, so if he can

do that, it's possible

that you can film .

I think I can do it.

Why don't you use your vlog

to ask for tips

about people

breaking records?

Great idea.

Jessica b*at the record?

Impossible, it

will never happen.

I don't know, it's seems

kind of possible to me.

Jessica might think

it's possible...

Maybe I can do this.

In fact, she might

even think it's likely...

I can totally b*at this record.

If we send her

made-up tips,

she won't be able

to b*at the record.

It will be impossible.

By the time she figures it

out, it will be too late.

Wait. Where are all the

people who sent me tips?

Oh no!

You're a genius.

That seems likely.



Hector, there are

so many tips here.

How am I supposed to know

which ones Francine made up?

Alright, I'm gonna

help you sort this out.

I don't have enough time,

what am I going to do?

She's gonna b*at me,

she's gonna win.

Jess, deep breath.

This is gonna save you

some time, trust me.

Trust the brother.

Okay, what's the first tip?

Okay, "I can juggle

five million tennis balls."

That's not even possible.

Okay, So we will put it

in the impossible list.

Okay, alright, next one.

Most mayonnaise eaten in a day.

Ooh.

That's nasty.

Yeah, that's possible,

I mean, totally gross,

but somebody could do it.

That could be real so we'll

put it in the possible list.

Next one.

Blowing the largest bubble gum

bubble while hula hooping.

Oh, that girl tries to b*at

her own record every year.

Yeah, that's likely to be real

so I will throw it

in the likely list.

This is working.



Highest Jump on a unicorn,

that's obviously

totally impossible.

That's was the last one.

Exactly, so you'll start by

filming the likely ones

and then we'll move

to the possible ones.

And then forget about

the impossible ones.

Hector, you're brilliant.

I know.

I don't know why you waste so

much time telling me things

that I already know.

What up, dude?

See ya later.

Later.

And that's the record for

the biggest bubble gum bubble

while hula hooping.



And here we have a master

beatboxer doing the most beats

with his body!



One more, one more.

You asked for it.

The most clothing worn at once!



Man, I hope Francine is watching

'cause I've been counting.

According to her vlog,

Francine has only filmed

broken records.

Jessica's filmed !

Only one more away

from tying the record.

Alright!

Fiddlesticks!

She sorted out

our fake tips.

Now how are we

going to b*at her?

Well, I had an idea.

Gilda, I told you...

I come up with the ideas.

Right...Sorry.

I just need to think.

I'm all out of ideas,

what do ya got?

Well, I'm pretty good

at a lot of things.

I could probably break some

records and you could film me.

You can break

some records?

You could break some

records? Like what?

Well, I don't like

to brag, but...



In the Book of Records

I make cartwheel history

'Cause I can do the fastest

cartwheel spin

Go on, girl!

I can text the most text

messages and it's no mystery

Because I text with

both my fingers and chin

That's just me...

(Go, Gilda!)

Just me...

That's just me

Go, Gilda

Go, go, Gilda

Just little old

itty bitty Gilda

Breaking records...

I'm a softball champion

in the local hall of fame

She's so fast

the catcher's hand turns red

And most wacky alphabet

reciter also is my claim

'Cause I go backwards

Yeah, that's what I say



Just little old

itty bitty Gilda

That's me breaking records

yeah...yeah...



What just happened?

She broke four records

in that song alone.

This is

an amazing idea.

I'm so glad

I thought of it.

Did I ever tell you

about the record I broke?

No. What record?

Biggest mummy bicep.

Whoa! That is awesome!

But not as awesome

as this...

Sweet.

Whoa.

This is awesome.



Reading with feeling

and learning the meaning

Expressing the words

will help you out

When you're reading a story

And a character speaks

(Yeah, c'mon!)

You better read it

with feeling

Or you might fall asleep

So when they whisper

a secret, go...

I ate the last slice!

Or shout when they're mad...

That wasn't very nice!

Laugh at something funny

Who put dresses on those mice?

Or cry when they're sad

Now you're reading

with feeling

And learning the meaning

Expressing the words

is where it's at

Oh, now you see you're reading

with feeling, it's a snap

Yeah!

Wow...I just found

these stories I wrote

when I was seven years old.

I used to make characters based

on all the little critters

that lived in our garden.

Let's see, where are they?

See, this is Bruce, a ladybug.

In my stories,

he talked like this.

"Yo, just because I'm a ladybug

doesn't mean I'm a lady.

There are guy ladybugs

too, Charlie."

For some reason, he

called everybody Charlie.

Eleanor -- the world's only

earthworm who hates dirt.

I imagine her voice like this.

"For once, can we just

please stay in a hotel

and get room service?"

Oh, my favorite character!

Courtney -- the opera

singing daredevil moth.

Courtney would do these amazing

flying stunts while singing.

I am doing a flip

in the air...

I'll read you part of

one of the stories.

Let's see, okay.

Suddenly, Courtney

the daredevil moth

came in for a crash landing.

Look out...

she said, then splat!

She landed in the mud

and everybody got filthy.

Eleanor said,

"I am not pleased."

Bruce said,

"Don't worry, Charlie,

I'll clean you off

with the hose."

How nice of you, Bruce...

Said Courtney.

Bruce said, "Charlie,

just 'cause I'm not a lady,

doesn't mean I'm not

a gentleman."

Good point, Bruce, good point.

So here's what I'm thinking,

if we can break the record

for the longest time

of a hamster sitting

on a mummy's head,

maybe Jessica can film it.

Oh, I see.

Because she had the lead

after she sorted through

all those fake tips

from Francine.

I remember.

But then Francine

took the lead when Gilda

started breaking records.

Yes, I was there.

Only ten seconds left!

Jessica,

come film this!

Jessica, over here --Aaaaaah!

Oh well, maybe next year.

Watch closely, Gilda Flip

is attempting to break her

th record of the day,

but can she out-stare Bruiser?

Aw...tough luck.



Another record broken,

Gilda Flip has done it again!

That's impossible.

No one can be that good at

that many different things.

No, it's pretty

likely actually.

She's in my class.

Trust me, she's that good.

Well, how many records

has Francine filmed?

Let's see...

Jessica , Francine .

! She tied the record!

I have to catch up!

There's got to be someone you

can film breaking a record.

But who?



What's that smell, Gilda?

Success.

Hello, Francine.

I thought you might like

to see me film Marcus

breaking a record.

Oh Jessica, it's so cute how

you're still trying to b*at us,

but don't you know

that I have Gilda.

And Gilda can break

so many more records

than little Marty Farms.

It's Marcus Barnes!

That's it!

Hand me the sandwich.

Just five more seconds...

, , , !

A new neighborhood record for

the chin sandwich balance!

I filmed another record which

means, I'm tied with Francine!

Not for long.

Look at all these people who

came to watch me b*at you.

I don't think any of

these people are here

to see you, Francine.

Actually, I'm here to see Gilda.

How many of you are

here to see Gilda?

Well, would you look at that?

Gilda's the star of Record Day.

Could you move a

little to the left?

We can't see Gilda.



I'm a star...

I'm a star!

She's gonna blow!

(yelling)

(yelling)

I don't understand!

I am a star!

Francine, I don't have to

break any more records

if you don't want me to.

I was just doing it

to make you happy.

Oh, okay.



She didn't break

the record.

Right, but you, Francine,

just broke the record

for the longest temper tantrum

ever...AND I filmed it.

Which means...



Oh yeah!

filmed!

(horn honking)

That's the official

end of Record Day!

(cheering)

No, it is not over.

It's not over because

I haven't b*at Jessica.

I'm the star.

No, it's not over.

I didn't b*at Jessica.

Come back!

I'm a star.

Well, look on

the bright side,

you broke the old temper

tantrum record set by...

Oh, that was you too.

Yeah, I'm really good

at temper tantrums.

Really?

Because I don't know the first

thing about temper tantrums.

Oh, Gilda,

Gilda, Gilda...

I have so much

to teach you.

When you watch the show,

you don't really know

how many people are

behind the scenes.

It's a lot.

It's tons.

Tons of people.



Fake tips!

Can we go back?

I said the wrong line.

In a play, everything is live

and you can't do anything again,

where a TV show,

if you do something wrong,

you just do it again...

I am going to win the

record for breaking...

And again...

Break the record for most

kosher hot dogs eating...

And again...

What will happen is you'll

film your scene and then

they'll call cut, and they'll

move cameras and move lights.

It's a lot of

waiting, but it's fun.

Because we just

make up songs...

and dances.



And action!

What's the most exciting

thing about being on set?

Meeting the kids like

in the neighborhood.

I find that very fun

since I am a fellow kid.

How many of you are

here to see Gilda?

What's the most exciting thing

about filming in New York City?

There's always

something happening.



We get interrupted a lot when

we film in New York City

because there's sirens,

there's ambulances...

(sirens blaring)

there's planes...

(plane engine)

There's rain.

(thunder clapping)

Mother Nature is

not happy with us.



The whole thing is really

like a family, right?

Like everybody

has their job.

And everybody works together

and no one's job is able

to be done without another

person doing their job.

Everyone helps put it

all together for you.

For you!

Want to learn how to

be a proper prankster?

The first step is to go online

to PBSkidsgo.org and earn points

for Francine or for me or for

any of your favorite pranksters.

And well, I suppose you

could play for one of

the Electric Company

members, too.

So, it could likely to be --

That makes no sense.

Francine has filmed

broken records --

(sneezing)

It's another filming...

(laughter)
