03x45 - Pies for Puppies

Post by bunniefuu »

Ok, here are your five words:

Goal -- a goal is something that

you want and that you work for.

Fives -- if you count by fives,

you count every fifth number...

, , , , ...

Graph -- a graph is a picture

or a chart that shows

information about different

amounts of things.

Raise -- when you raise money,

you collect it for something.

Charity -- a charity is

a group that raises money

to help people or animals.

So we have Goal, Fives,

Graph, Raise, and Charity.

Watch out for them

in today's show.

(dog barking)

Calm down, boy,

I'm right here.

What happened to

the other pies?

Benny, did you eat

the other pies?

No, no crumbs.

Ok seriously, where

are the other pies?

Morning Jess, what

are you doing here?

Looking for pies.

Oh...huh?

I'm baking pies for a charity

bake sale, Pies for Puppies.

I didn't know puppies ate pies.

Breaking news from the Electric

Company Diner, puppies eat pies.

What?

No, puppies

don't eat pies.

And Harry,

why am I on TV?

Hey Jessica, it's a slow

news day, I need a story.

So tell us about those

pie-eating puppies.

No, Pies for Puppies

is a bake sale

where I raise money to help

puppies at an animal shelter.

And I had four pies on this

counter, and now they're gone.

I think someone

stole them!

Awesome!

I mean, sorry

about your pies.

Oh...

Hey you guys!

Electric Company...

Electric Company!

Hello, I'm Harry

Helfiscottiecamergot

reporting live from

the Electric Diner,

where Jessica's pies

have been stolen.

Ma'am, can you explain why

these pies are so important?

Well, I bake pies

so I can sell them

and raise money for

my favorite charity.

What charity

would that be?

The Southstreet Animal Shelter,

it's where Jess and I

adopted our dog, Benny.

Hector, customer.

Oh, she's got a note.

That's Sandy Rebus,

Danny's dog.

Ma'am, can you tell us

anything about the pies?

Excuse me, ma'am,

I'm talking to you.

All right guys, it's

a message from Danny.

All right, let's

figure that out...

I and then jam minus j...

I am the puppy.

I am the puppy man,

lifting a bus.

I think that's

a super hero.

Danny took my pies.

He's completely

missing the point.

It's about raising

money for charity.

Yeah.

But wait, guys,

what's the puppy hero?

The goal's to sell as

many pies as possible.

The first one who sells pies

gets to be the puppy hero.

And Danny's been the

puppy hero for five years.

Ooh, I'd like to

be the puppy hero.

That would be nice.

We love you, Jessica!

You're my hero.

I want to lick your face!

Jess? Jess? Jess!

Huh? Oh, sorry.

You know what, that's it!

I am going to get my pies

back from Danny,

that's final.

Come on, Benny.

Thank you,

and enjoy your pie.

Sandy, we just sold another pie.

Oh yes, we did.

So let's put another

sticker on our graph.

You like graphs,

don't you, girl?

Of course you do!

So, now we have

two full paw prints.

And do you know what that means?

That's right, you're so smart!

Each paw print means

we sold five pies.

So if we count by fives, and

you like counting by fives,

don't you, girl?

Let's count by fives --

, -- we sold pies,

and all we have to do is

reach the top of the graph.

And do you remember how

many pies we need to sell

to reach our goal? Hmm? Hmm?

Let's count by fives again!

, , , , ,

, , , , !

Once we reach our goal of

pies, I will be the puppy hero!

Hurray for Danny!

You make my tail

wag like crazy.

You're better than

a bag of bones.

We want to lick your face!

Danny Rebus!

Shame on you stealing pies

that I baked for a charity!

Now, hang on.

I didn't steal your pies,

I merely took them

to save you the trouble

of selling them.

Because I happen to

have a pie stand

and I'm really good

at selling pies.

Oh really?

And you just took them

without telling me.

Didn't I send you a Rebus,

saying that I am the puppy hero?

And what if someone else

wanted to be the puppy hero?

Ever think about that?

That is preposterous.

Oh yeah, give me my pies back!

Ok...Take your

rotten pies!

You insulted my pies!

That does it, it is on,

Danny Rebus, mark my words!

I will be the next puppy hero!

I am the puppy hero!

Ladies and gentlemen,

breaking news --

Danny and Jessica are going to

compete to be the puppy hero.

Sir, do you have anything

to say to our viewers?

Yes...Why am I on TV?

It's a slow news

day, go with it.

You go, Jessica;

you're my puppy hero.

It's a big day

for dogs.

Yeah, and

Mummies too.

What?

It's my birthday; I'm .

That's a lot

of candles.

We just go with

the one, you'll see.



Mom's apple pie,

ÂÂ

try a "PIES" today.

Did you just say PIES?

There's no such thing.

"ie" sometimes

sounds like "I"...

And sometimes it sounds

like "E"...

If the "I" sound doesn't make

sense, try the "E" sound.

Your birthday

wouldn't be complete

without your favorite dessert.

Make a wish!

I wish this was

not a bowl of peas.

Oh well.

What do you mean?

Mummies love peas

for desert.

Ah, we do?

It says so right here on

StuffMummiesLove.com, see?

Mummies love

peas for desert.

Oh, that says pies, not peas.

How could that say pies?

It's got an IES -- just like

mummies -- mummies, peas.

Sometimes IES makes the "eez"

sound, like in mummies,

and sometimes it makes

the "eyes" sound, like in pies.

Peas are ok,

but not for dessert.

For dessert, we love pies.

But thank you anyway;

it's the thought that counts.

No, wait right there!

Ta-da!

Oh guys, you shouldn't have.

You really shouldn't have.





Let me tell you, I used

to be so mad at IE,

we didn't get along at all.

I'd say, IE, what's

your deal, man?

Sometimes you make the "I"

sound, like in pie, or cries.

Sometimes you make the "E"

sound like in chief, or field.

Why are you trying

to confuse me?

And you know what IE would say?

Nothing...'cause

letters don't talk.

So I took matters

into my own hands,

now whenever I see IE in a word,

first I try the "I" sound,

if that makes sense

I say, "Oh yeah!"

If it doesn't make sense,

then I say, "No sir!"

And then I try the "E" sound.

"BELIVE" is not a word.

So let's try the "E" sound.

Oh yeah! It works.

So now "IE is my boy,

we're cool.

Isn't that right, IE?

He's very quiet.

So what's happened so far?

I'm going to sell so many pies

at the charity bake sale;

I'm going to reach my goal.

What Benny, you want

to know what a goal is?

A goal is something

you're trying to get to.

I have a goal to sell pies;

this will help me to reach

my other goal --

to help lots of puppies

and become the puppy hero.

Wait, where are my pies?

Oh no, Danny Rebus stole them.

Hey you guys!

Look Sandy, I have sold ten

pies and Jessica has sold none.

I made a graph to

help me keep track.

A graph is a picture or chart

that shows information

about different

amounts of things.

Each time we fill in a paw print

it means we have sold five pies.

, -- we'll keep counting by

fives until we reach our goal.

Imagine, we'll sell , , !

Buy my pies.

Your stolen pies!

Uh-oh.



Who will be this

year's puppy hero?

Excuse me sir, who do

you think it will be?

Interesting, he's a dog

and doesn't speak English.

Let's look at

Danny Rebus's graph

and see how many pies

he's sold -- , ...

I find it useful

to count by fives.

Count by fives --

what a great idea!

, , , , pies!

Danny Rebus is halfway

to his goal of pies

and being the puppy hero.

Let's look at Jessica's graph.

She sold , pies.

Jessica's behind,

Jessica is way, way behind.

Which is weird, because

my pies taste better.

No, they do not.

My pies taste better.

Oh yeah? Then why don't

we have a taste test?

Ladies and gentlemen,

we interrupt this story about

"Pies for Puppies" to bring you

a story about a pie tasting.

I will be selecting one

random person off the street

to be our judge.

I am a random person.

would you like to be

a judge at a pie tasting?

I sure would.

Annie Scrambler, great, she's

never going to pick Jess's pie.

Yeah, no way.

Unless...no time to explain;

can I borrow this?

Thanks, bye.

I wonder whose pie I'll choose?

Stop in the name

of fairness!

Ladies and gentlemen,

we interrupt this pie tasting

to bring you a breaking news

story about the interruption

of a pie tasting.

This pie tasting is not fair,

the judge should be blindfolded

so that she does not know

whose pie she's tasting.

Yep, that would make it fair.

And it just so happens that

I have a blindfold right here.

Well, would you

look at that?

Nice!

Which pie will our

taste tester choose?

Ma'am, the pies are over here.

Here is pie number one.

Mmmmm, this is good.

Here is pie number two.

Mmmmmmmm, this one

tastes better!

I like pie number two best.

Look! even Sandy

likes pie number two.

And pie number two, ladies and

gentlemen -- drum roll please --

keep it going, nice and juicy,

almost there...

Jessica's pie!

No, number one,

I choose number one,

it's so much better;

I was confused.

Much too late --

the whole world knows that

Jessica's pies are better.

Get in line everyone,

there's plenty of pies!



Seriously?

How could you two

do this to me?

I'm sorry, Danny.

Are you eating Jessica's pie?

It's really good.

Oh! What's the use?

Jessica will reach

the goal before me

and she'll be the puppy hero.

Tough luck, kid.

Maybe you should find

a new pie recipe.

Come on guys; let's go

lick Jessica's face.

It tastes better.

It probably does.

Wait a minute! Danny?

I have an idea that

will fix everything!

Come on girl,

let's go.

We're going to fix it.

Sandy -- she is mine.

Let's check out Jessica's

graph and see how's she doing.

How many pies have you sold?

Well, let's see...

A wise man once told me

it's always helpful

to count by fives.

Go ahead.

Ok, , , , ,

, , , ,

plus two makes pies.

And only eight more left to

reach the goal of pies.

Someone...anyone...

anyone with a microphone,

something terrible

has happened.

Jessica's pie has given me

a case of hair-sticking-up-itis.

I have a microphone.

It's horrible, horrible

I tell you, horrible!

Did I tell you

it was horrible?

A few minutes after I ate

Jessica's pie, suddenly,

my hair started to stick

straight up in the air.

Immediately, I new I had

a case of hairstickingupitis.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we interrupt this story about

counting by fives to break

a new story about

a mysterious disease called

hairstickingupitis.

There's no such thing

as hairstickingupitis!

And plus, look, her

hair's shiny, it's gel.

Oh no, shiny hair is part

of hairstickingupitis.

Yeah, well, you ate

Danny's pie, too.

True, I ate both pies.

But, Sandy only

ate Jessica's pie.

Come here girl,

show us what happened.

Show us, look at this!

Oh my gosh!

People and dogs are getting

hairstickingupitis

from Jessica's pie.

Ladies and gentlemen, step right

up and buy a pie, the only pie

around here that doesn't

give you hairstickingupitis.

People, save yourselves,

don't let what happened to me

happen to you --

Buy a pie from Danny Rebus.

No, no...please don't.

Excuse me sir, I noticed

you left Jessica's line

and now you're in Danny's line.

Is it because you're

afraid you're going to get

hairstickingupitis?

Personally I think that sounds

fake, but why take chances?

People, it's gel!

Now I'll never get

to be the puppy hero.

Tough break, kid.

Looked like gel to me.

But just to be safe, we're

going to lick Danny's face.

There is no such thing

as hairstickingupitis.

Boo!

Ok fine, but it's

not caused by pies.

Speaking of pies,

every seen a pie tie?

Huh?

Check it out.



Danny Rebus presents...

ÂÂ

Super Spy! And that other guy.

What's up?

Boss, I've snuck into

the birthday party

at enemy headquarters.

And the other guy is here, too.

Ok, I need you to find the

thief who stole the plans.

There's a clue written on top

of the birthday cake, good luck.

There's the cake.

Oh!

The message!

I can try making

some words.

TEE-IPI --

No, keep trying.

No.

Wait, I see an IE there,

and an IE there,

so the words make an "I"

sound or an "E" sound.

Pee-tee or Pie-tie.

Pie tie, he's the thief!

I'll be taking

those plans.

Way to find the

pie tie, other guy.

What does the IE sound like

when you see it in a word?

See it in a word

You could use

the long "I" sound

You can use

the long "E" sound

Which will it be?

Take a look at the sentence

What do you see?

I see the IE combination

times three

So in my mind, I'm thinking

about the two sounds to use

With every word, deciphering

and discovering word clues

This with the long "I" sound

is NICE

This was the long "I" sound

is THIFE

This was the long "I" sound

is FRIES

So the NICE of the THIFE

eats FRIES -- What?

Hold up, come back!

Shock, pause, rewind

Let's try it with the long "E"

sound this time

This with the long "E" sound

is NIECE

And this with the long "E"

sound is THIEF

And this with the long "E"

sound is FREEZE

So the NIECE of the THIEF

eats FREEZE -- No way!

It's not all "E"

And it's not all "I"

Look at each word

Give each one a try

The NIECE of the THIEF

eats FRIES



Mummy, what are

you doing?

I'm making a graph

of how many times

I've gotten

upset today.

First, Danny stole Jessica's

pies, so I put on this sticker.

Then, Annie told everybody

she had hairstickingupitis.

Then, I started to unravel,

which had nothing to do with

pies, but it got me upset.

Then, all of the customers

went over to Danny's line,

and well, and that's it.

Not again?



Marcus, I can't believe these

people are falling for this

hairstickingupitis lie.

I know, it's so fake.

I don't even want to

be the puppy hero.

I just want to raise some

money to help the puppies.



I'm talking about charity

We need a little clarity

We need to remember

What this whole thing's about

It's not about heroes

or trophies or cups

It's all about doing

something nice for the pups

We're just little puppies

We're waiting for families

To come and to get us

We're just little puppies

And we're gonna love you

as soon as you let us

They lie about my pie

Hair sticking up baloney

Now I have to prove

hair sticking up is phony

I'll show everyone what's up

with Annie's hair

And how she's using gel to

make it stick up in the air

Don't you worry, puppies

My pies are gonna sell

All I have to do is prove

that Annie's wearing gel

Hair sticking up baloney!

You know how you can tell?

'Cause when something isn't

true, it's got a funny smell

Sniff, sniff, sniff

It's got a funny smell

Sniff, sniff, sniff...

It's got a funny smell...

We're here with

continued coverage of

the making of a puppy hero.

Danny sold a lot of pies

and he seems unstoppable.

Well, if you just take a look at

my graph, you'll notice I only

have five pies left to go,

and hello, puppy hero-whoa!

Hey guys.

Whoa! Jessica has

hairstickingupitis.

Maybe she ate

one of her pies.

This is crazy!

Ladies and gentlemen, Jessica

now has hairstickingupitis.

It was horrible,

horrible I tell you!

Horrible!

But then I discovered what

causes hairstickingupitis,

and it's not pies...

it's gel.

What?

Take a whiff.

Harry, smell the gel.

I smell the gel.

And, if you pet Sandy,

you can smell the gel.

I smell the gel!

And Annie's hair...

Don't smell the gel,

I mean, the hair.

I must smell your gel.

I smell the gel.

Stop in the name of fairness!

You made up hairstickingupitis.

(dog barking)

You tell 'em, Benny.

It was Annie's idea.

Oh, how dare you pin

this one on me, Rebus!

Ladies and gentlemen, I urge you

to come down here right now

and buy one of Jessica's pies

so that she can reach her goal.





You reached your

goal of pies!

And raising money for puppies!

Yippee!

I want to thank all those

who helped raise money

for the charity this year.

Thanks to you, we can build

a new puppy playground

at the shelter.

And now, it is with great

pleasure that I give you

Jessica Ruiz,

this year's Puppy Hero.

Thank you.

The South Street Animal Shelter

is one of my favorite charities,

and this is quite an honor.

So as my dog Benny would say...

(barking)

which means, puppies, puppies,

hurray for puppies!

Thank you!

Ladies and gentlemen,

there you have it,

puppies, puppies,

hurray for puppies!

Help!

Kapow! Prankster Planet!

The Wordsuckeruppernator

is sucking up words

So it's Jessica and

Marcus to the rescue!

There are buttons

to shut it down

But pushing them all

is up to you!

Boom! Prankster Planet!

Kapow! Prankster Planet!

Meanwhile in the jungle...

Have no fear,

citizens of Earth,

Marcus and his sidekick,

Jessica, will save you.

You're the sidekick,

not me.

No way,

I'm the leader.

Look, I'm carrying

the blueprint.

Exactly!

The sidekick carries stuff.

Can't we just focus on our goal

to push the next off button?

Okay, I'm focusing.

It's right there!

Barnacle Miner's Garden --

I don't see a garden.

Or any barnacle miners.

My uncle was a barnacle miner.

(screaming)

What's happening?

Danger --

Annie Scrambler.

Of course!

Don't you just love

Prankster Planet?

It makes your Prankster powers

so much more powerful.

That's right,

you're not Pranksters

and you don't have

any powers here!

(cackling)

You're such

a show-off.

Let's just push

that button.

Please! You're no match for

my Super Scramble Stomp.

Why don't you give up

and get a room

at the Red Germ

Barnacles Inn?

My uncle stayed at that

inn once, it's got a pool!

Marcus, we have to

get rid of Annie

if we want to

reach our goal.

I have an idea -- This

graph shows all the ways

we've gotten rid

of Annie in the past.

Eight times we've distracted

her with something shiny.

times we turned another

Prankster against her.

But look, and a half times

getting her to show off.

Nice going, Marcus.

You know only sidekicks

make graphs, right?

Hey Annie, I bet you

can't make any more words

out of the words

on that sign.

Are you kidding? I can make

Nerd or Diner or Armband.

(screaming)

Hey! I'm stuck.

Now there's nothing standing

in between us and our goal...

except for this big,

giant canyon.

Looks like we both have

a lot of catching up to do.

Visit PBSkidsgo.org where

you can play a lot of games

for your favorite characters,

and win votes, too.

Well, go ahead, what

are you waiting for?

It's so good, this is

awesome, I love it!

This is the best pie I ever had!

Rebus!

Excuse me...

There we go.
