Cost -- cost is how much you
need to spend for something.
Dollar -- a dollar is
the same as pennies.
Quarter -- a quarter is
the same as pennies;
there are four quarters
in one dollar.
Dime -- a dime is
the same as ten pennies;
there are ten dimes
in one dollar.
The dime is the smallest coin.
Nickel -- a nickel is
the same as five pennies;
there are nickels
in one dollar.
So we have: Cost, Dollar,
Quarter, Dime and Nickel,
watch out for them
in today's show.
(screaming)
Gilda!
Grab a disguise.
Francine said
I'm allowed to help you,
but only for
a couple of hours.
I'll take what
I can get.
So here's the deal,
as you know, today is
the day of the Spooky
Summer Soiree.
The coolest costume party ever!
Last year, I was a ferret.
Well today, you can be
anything you want to be,
because I bought
all the costumes
at Haunted Hank's
Discount Costume Store.
Annie, didn't that
cost a lot of money?
Yes, it cost quite
a bit of money,
I had some help from my uncle,
but this is important.
Gilda...answer
this question.
Who is the most fabulous
dresser in town?
You, Annie,
everybody knows that.
Thank you,
I think so too.
But every year, every single
year, Hector and his little pals
have the best costumes
at the costume party.
And everybody loves them,
and nobody notices me.
Well, that is
going to change!
Yeah! How?
This year, they're all
dressing up as animals
dressed up as monsters,
so cute.
How clever.
Marcus and Jessica haven't
picked out their costumes yet,
and now they won't have
any costumes to choose from.
And we can be whatever we want,
and we're going to have
the most amazing
costumes at the party.
And everyone's
going to love me!
And you too,
of course.
Here they come.
I was thinking of dressing up as
a bunny dressed up as a mummy,
but then I don't want to get
wrapped up in toilet paper.
Marcus, you've been trying
to figure this out
for a whole week, and we got
to get our costumes now.
I know, I just want to think
of a costume as good as yours.
Ah yes...But not everyone
can be spooky as a Hamwitch --
a pig dressed up
as a witch.
Man, that's good.
Don't worry, we'll find
something at the store.
Sold out?
What are we
going to do?
Hey, you guys!
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)
The power we perfected
is electrically connected
So use it as directed
and expect to be respected
Just turn it on
and you will see
That you belong
in the Company!
Feel the power
Feel the power
Feel the power, yo
And plug it in!
Plug it in, everybody!
Electric Company
Electric Company
Electric Company...
Electric Company!
What, is something funny?
I can't take you
seriously like that.
Do not mess with
Kittenstein, ok?
Nobody messes with
Kittenstein -- meow, meow.
You want to add to
that, Ghost-Rooster?
Cock-a-doodle...Boo!
Oh, that was so corny.
Hey, you guys can say what you
want, but we look awesome,
and you guys just look like
people dressed as people.
But we just came from Haunted
Hank's, and it was sold out.
Wait, Hank's was sold out?
Well, then why'd you guys
wait 'til today?
Because somebody
couldn't make up his mind.
That's you.
Think Marcus, think.
I've got it!
I can be a chicken
dressed as a vampire!
I'm Count Chickula;
I want to peck your face.
Finally, Marcus!
We'd be a little bird heavy,
but I think it's pretty cool.
(growling and howling)
What do we have here?
Bearwolf the werewolf, son!
Nice man, where'd you
get your costume at?
I got it at a sidewalk sale
down the street,
this tail was
only a quarter.
Only cents?
Marcus, we should go.
What do I need to
become Chickula?
Maybe a beak, pants, you
already have a bunch of hats.
Oh, a cape.
Annie, I made a list of
possible costumes,
would you like to hear
them alphabetically,
or sorted by creature?
Gilda, I don't need a list,
I am a brilliant dresser.
You certainly are, Annie, I just
thought you'd like a list.
Francine loves my lists.
Gilda, darling, today
we do things my way.
Come on, loosen
up a little, huh?
There you go, that's
the spirit, come on,
let's look at
something else.
Oh my, this is the one.
You see that?
Perfect.
Let me see,
let me see.
Oh, ok!
This is pennies --
that's a dollar.
Four quarters --
that's a dollar.
Ten dimes -- a dollar.
And three quarters, a nickel
and two dimes -- a dollar.
Marcus, we don't have time.
Ok, so, I have seven dollars
and you have ten dollars.
I'll add my money
to your jar.
All right, that's $ , now
give me the list of things
that we need to buy.
Ok.
Perfect, so...we can use this to
keep track of everything that
we've bought and how much
money we have left to spend.
If we buy things, the amount
of money will go down.
I love it!
Come on.
Good luck, guys,
time's a-wasting, we're gonna
be working on the song for
when we get to the party.
And I like that costume!
Let's do it --
Here come the animals...
What are they doing?
Sidewalk sale.
I think they're
shopping for costumes.
No, oh no,
Gilda, do something!
Uh...
(humming)
No, do something
to stop them!
Right.
So are we dressed as animals
dressed as monsters,
or monsters
dressed as animals?
Well, I am an animal, so I
can't be dressed as an animal.
So, you're just a monster?
I thought you were a monster.
I have not been this confused
since werewolf wrote me a note
asking me to take
care of his kitten.
You should watch
this, it's funny.
Everybody loves
good old letter "f."
Sometimes it's
the perfect fit,
but sometimes we all need
to spice things up a bit.
Try "gh"and "ph"-- they both
make the "f"sound too...
So, if the letter "f"
just isn't enough,
try a sprinkle of "gh"
and "ph"today.
(howling)
Help!
(coughing)
What's wrong?
Werewolf's kitten
has a co-ug.
A co-ug? What?
I don't know, werewolf
left me this strange note.
Werewolf has lost his mind.
Oh, I see the problem.
That says cough!
See Mummy, sometimes
the "gh"and the "ph"
make the "f"sound.
Now you tell me.
So the note says...
Ok, Mister Sprinkles.
(laughing)
I just don't get
kitten humor.
(beatboxing)
Let me tell you a little story
about the letter "F"
He's got two friends
On the right and left
When letter "F"needs help
I'm willing to bet
These guys get tough
with the alphabet
"Ph"-- We're all
bring home a trophy
"Gh"-- and that's because
we know that "Ph""Gh"
Help the letter "F"
make the "f"it makes
"Ph"rides the center
of an elephant
Teaching the letter "F"
all about physics
"Gh"can begin in
a word like ghost
But when the going gets tough
He laughs and goes
Don't fret, letter "F"
Help is on the way
"Ph"and "Gh"--
They came to save the day
"Ph,""Gh"help the letter "F"
make the "f"it makes...
So what's happened so far?
Haunted Hank's is
out of costumes.
Hey you guys!
Your costumes are so
good, what do we do?
I bought my costume
at a sidewalk sale;
this tail was
only a quarter.
That's it,
I have ten dollars.
I have seven dollars.
Together we have
dollars.
Everybody holler!
What makes a dollar?
Everybody holler!
What makes a dollar?
Each of these coins
has a different way
To add up to a dollar
And first I'll say
There are , ,
quarters in a dollar
But listen up
The coins get smaller
This is ten cents
We call it a dime
, , , ,
, , ,
of these coins
Will make up a dollar
But there's another coin
And this is what we call her
Hello, I'm a nickel
and I equal five
To get a dollar using me
You have to count high
Make a dollar with nickels
It's going to take
, , , , , ,
Woo, it's so many!
Everybody holler!
What makes a dollar?
To the sidewalk sale!
How much is this broom?
Two dollars.
Oow, nice shirt,
very Count Chickula.
What do you think of the pants?
I'm thinking you need
to keep shopping.
Ok.
Excuse me, we'll take
this shirt and the broom.
Ok, shirt costs $ . ,
so that's $ . all together.
Ok, great.
Here's four dollars;
and Marcus, we need cents.
All right, let's see...
so two quarters,
that's cents;
plus two dimes,
that's ;
plus another dime,
that's ;
and a nickel, that's
cents, here you go.
Thank you.
Thank you.
They still have a lot to get,
and they're not going
to get it all at that sale.
That's great, 'cause I know
exactly where to send them.
Greatest yard sale ever -- Why
would you want them to go there?
Young Gilda, I wouldn't want
them to go to the right address.
That is such a sweet power!
I mean, not as good as
Francine's, of course.
But it's still
quite good.
Why did you buy
a pink button?
It's a pig nose and
it's only cents.
(snorting)
Nice one, Hamwitch.
All right,
let's see...
How much do
we have left?
Pig nose -- cents;
Broom -- two dollars,
Shirt -- $ . .
That means we have
$ . left.
We still have
a lot to buy.
At least we have
$ . left to spend.
If you're looking for
another sidewalk sale,
this one is quite lovely.
Summer Street.
Thanks, ladybug.
Come on, let's go.
Good work, Gilda, they'll
eventually figure it out,
so now let's go to
the right address.
Why would we go there?
To buy everything so there's
nothing left when Marcus
and Jessica get there...duh!
Annie, you've spent
a lot of money today.
I have $ . !
Oh...And a quarter --
I have $ . , we're fine!
I'll keep track
just in case.
The animals...
The animals...
The animals dressed
as monsters...
The animals...
The animals...
Meow!
Hey, Hector, can you
go online and search for
a sidewalk sale
on Summer Street?
Yeah, of course.
I'm at Summer Street and
there's no sidewalk sale here.
Hold on, guys, hold on.
Hey, I'm going to put
you down for a second.
That was easy, found it!
"Greatest yard sale ever"--
Summer Street.
?
It says, .
Oh no, , !
It was scrambled.
Oh Scrambler!
Kittenstein, get
a hold of yourself.
Jess, Annie's trying to
mess with our costumes, ok?
Just get to
Summer Street fast!
Ok, I will.
Come on, let's go.
It's Summer Street.
If Jess and Marcus don't
get their costumes,
the Electric Company will
only have the Frankenstein
and the Werewolf,
and the Foost.
The what?
The Foost.
That says ghost.
But I thought "gh"
made the "f"sound.
It usually does, but not always.
Oh, I like
when it does.
Well then,
you'll love this.
My neighbor
is a space alien.
Space alien!
You only have
two lives left.
(chuckling)
My animals are running
all over the place,
take care of them all
or you're gonna get replaced.
And he'll beam you with his
eyeballs to outer space.
Here we go.
You said "elepant."
Elephant's the word.
"Ph"makes the "f"sound
in case you haven't heard.
Yeah, yeah, Pesky Eddie,
I got it, I know.
Well, you better get it
right, only one life to go.
You have succeeded, so
we won't be needing you.
Oh rats,
this stinks!
I just love what I do.
"F"is by far the laziest letter
in the alphabet, in fact,
it's so lazy it doesn't even
show up in the word "alphabet."
But no "f", here's
what I think happened...
"F"called up "ph."
"Ph!""Ph!"
I'm tired.
Could you make the "f"sound
for me in some words?
Well, "ph"said...
Ok, yeah, sure,
I'd love to help out.
So next thing you know, "ph"
starts popping up in words like,
Alphabet and Trophy.
While "F"was off Fishing
and eating Fudge...lazy.
Well one day, someone needed
an "F"sound and "ph"
was off riding elephants
with his nephew.
So, "F"called up "gh"
instead, and said...
Oh man, "Gh!"
"Gh,"I'm tired.
"Gh"said...
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Mr. Lazy Man, I'm busy.
Please! I'll let you be
in some cool words, huh?
Like tough.
Tough? I like tough.
So next thing you know, "gh"
started popping up in words like
Tough and Rough.
Until one day he said...
"Enough!
Where's "F?"
And you know where "F"was?
Fluffing pillows,
for his four-day nap!
I told you...lazy!
Hello Tom, nice costume.
Thanks, I'm a pencil
dressed as a monster.
What's going on?
Annie and Gilda are trying
to stop Marcus and Jessica
from getting their costumes.
Wow!
Now, they're all showing up
at the same sidewalk sale.
That should be
interesting.
Why don't you
stop bouncing?
'Cause if I do,
that happens.
Excuse me, how much is this hat?
Buy it, just buy it.
Annie, you only
have $ left.
Buy now, math later.
How much does this cost?
Ok here, three dollars and
five dimes, and a nickel;
oh, I'll take these too,
how much do they cost?
cents, ok, a quarter
and a nickel; thank you.
Annie, look.
(gasping)
Should we run for it?
No, we have to keep shopping,
quick, disguise yourself.
Annie and Gilda, they're trying
to buy everything, so we can't.
Well, that's low.
Better that they don't know
that we know they're here.
Marcus, shop
like the wind.
Annie, we only have
$ . left.
Keep shopping!
You're the boss.
All right, so we
have $ . left,
and we have everything
except for the beak.
The beak!
They got my beak!
I can't be Count Chickula
without my beak.
Ok, I've got an idea.
Annie, we only
have $ . left.
Excuse me, how much does that
orange plaid shirt cost?
Four dollars.
Four dollars...that's good.
Marcus, come along
with me on this one.
Marcus, look!
They have the
orange plaid shirt!
Oh yeah, that's
exactly what I need!
I'd like to buy this orange
plaid shirt and this beak.
But ma'am,
I want that shirt.
Too bad kid, I saw
it first, scram.
The beak is two dollars,
the shirt is four dollars,
that's six dollars --
you can't buy both.
Please buy that beak.
My friend really needs that
shirt for his costume.
Oh yeah? Too bad!
Tough luck, kid!
That's Count Chickula
to you...Annie and Gilda.
Oh!
I want to peck
your face.
We did it.
I know.
The Electric Company
isn't here yet.
Now we can make
a big entrance
and show everybody
how awesome we are.
But we never figured
out our costumes.
Just put anything on.
Here come
the animals...
The animals...
The animals...
The animals dressed
as monsters
Here come
the animals...
The animals...
The animals...
The animals dressed
as monsters
You know a bear is
very, very hairy
But when the bear's a werewolf
The hairy bear is scary
You know that
ghosts are freaky
And really, really shrieky
But when the ghost's
a rooster
That ghost is kind of beaky
You couldn't find another
like my brother Kittenstein
No one is as warty
as this witchy, witchy swine
But if you want the freakiest
creature in this place
You've got to meet
Count Chickula
I want to peck your face
The animals...
The animals...
The animals dressed
as monsters
Here come
the animals...
The animals...
The animals...
The animals dressed
as monsters
Wait, Annie, Gilda, what
are you guys dressed as?
Well, if you can't tell,
then you're not very smart.
Come on, Gilda!
Hey, nice.
Here come
the animals...
The animals...
The animals...
The animals dressed
as monsters
The animals...
The animals...
The animals dressed
as monsters...
Hey guys, it's Shock, and I've
been all over this country,
to many schools
and cities and towns,
and everybody wants
to know one thing...
How do you beatbox?
Boots, cuts, boots, cuts.
What do you feel you have most
in common with your character?
Well, Shock is a beatboxer
and I am also a beatboxer.
It's kind of hard
to hide that fact.
Oh Shock,
what's up, man?
A b*at, please.
So for everyone who's at home;
what kind of advice do you have
for them, if they felt like they
wanted to get into beatboxing?
Open your mind and your body to
playing other types of music.
Feel the rhythm in your body
when you're walking,
feel the rhythm when
you're listening to nature.
When you're listening
to city streets,
when you're listening to
cars go by, people talking.
(horn honking)
Beep, beep.
I've always really been into
music; I grew up playing
percussion, everything from bass
drum to snare drum to cymbals.
And I learned from
Doug E. Fresh.
So all of these things
put together, mix it into
a big bowl and started
performing it live,
and now here's the
character of Shock.
Let's hear it for the original
human beatbox, Doug E. Fresh!
(cheers and applause)
Reading, writing
Listening, speaking
It's not hard
I know what you're thinking
Coming from Shock
and Doug E. Fresh
I want you to know
That you are the best
As you write it all down
And Shock got the sound
And as we travel around
This is how we get down
Reading, writing
Listening, speaking
It's not hard
I know what you're thinking
Fresh...
Who's going to be the next
Electric Company star?
Mummy, Bat, Nuggets and all your
favorite animated characters
are auditioning,
and you're the judge.
to decide who has what it takes.
Wait, wait,
Jess, don't leave.
I'll help you out here.
Pull!
(glass breaking)
Cut!
