Narrator: hey, kids,

Listen for the words

"Mastermind" and "awestruck."

Becky botsford, aka word girl,

And her classmates are
in high spirits

Because today they're going
on a field trip.

Ok, let's settle down,
class.

I know you're
all excited to go to
the city candy factory

And meet zachary zany,
the mastermind who
invented so many of my--

I mean,
your favorite candies,

But listen up
for a second.

We're going to use
the buddy system.

Everyone grab a partner.

Want to be field-trip
buddies, violet?

Uh, do unicorns
have wings?

Well, some do, but really,
pegasuses are known as the--

Uh, I still want
to be buddies.

Me, too!
Ok.

♪ Buddies ♪

I can't believe
we're going to meet

Zachary zany, the
candy mastermind.

Me, neither.

I think he's going
to be awestruck

When I tell him some
of my great ideas.

How about this?
Gum you can chew.

[Giggles]
i...

Or cup-shaped
chocolate

With peanut butter
in the middle.

Yeah, I think
they've already got
that covered--

I want to be
violet's buddy!

And she wants
to be mine!

Actually, becky
and I are already
buddies.

It's my birthday,
so I can have
anything I want,

And you're my buddy!

Ok.

No, that's not how
the buddy system
works, eileen.

Yes, that is how it works.
Violet is mine.

[Screeching]
I know.

If she doesn't get her way,
eileen's going to turn
into birthday girl,

And a big, green monster
running around might prove
problematic on a bus.

Ok, calm down.
You guys can be buddies.

We're going
to have so much fun,
bestest buddy violet!

Yeah.

Come on, bob.

Hi.

Becky, uh, yeah,

All the students need
to be in their seats

Before the bus can leave
so nobody hits their noggin.

Uh, mr. Dudley,
I don't have
a buddy.

Ok, uh, you can
be my buddy,

Uh, becky.

Really?

Uh, I don't want you
to feel bad,

But I am surprised
you didn't pair up
with violet. Hmm.

Yeah.

That didn't work out.

Would you say
we're best friends

Or bestest
westest friends?

[Groans]
I'll be right back.

I have to ask becky
something.

Oh, no, you don't!

You're not going anywhere.

We're going to be buddies
forever and ever

And ever and ever
and ever and ever

And ever and ever
and ever and...

Narrator:
finally, the bus arrives
at the candy factory.

Boy: wow!
Girl: it's beautiful.

[Excitedly]
it's delic--ahem.

I don't blame you
for being awestruck.

I mean, i, too,
am completely filled

With wonder
and reverence.

Now let's keep it
orderly, everyone.

Find your buddy
and we'll walk,

Not run,
to the factory gate.

I might scoot ahead
a little bit.

Uh, behind me.
I'm first.

I mean, walk behind me.
Kids: yay!

Violet: becky!
Violet! Yes!

Can we be
buddies now?

Does a pegasus
ride rainbows?

Yes, it does!
Whoo!

Buddies!
Buddies!

Eileen: hey, buddy!
I almost lost you there.

Uh...look, eileen,
you and I were buddies
on the bus,

But now I want to be
buddies with becky.

I'm sorry.
Is it your birthday?

Because it is mine.
Mine!

You think every day's
your birthday.

That's because every day
is my birthday.

Do you want me
to explain why that's
actually not possible?

Violet is my partner!
Mine!

Mr. Dudley:
now, listen up, class.

I know I don't need
to remind you we have
to be on our best behavior.

[Sighs]
I guess
we can't risk

Eileen ruining
this field trip.

Ok, eileen.
I'll be your buddy.

Mr. Dudley:
all right, class.
Let's line up.

Grab your buddy.

Uhh!
Mr. Dudley: becky?

[Sighs]
I'm first!
I'm first!

It's my birthday
and I'm first!
[Groans]

I'm first! I'm first!

It's my birthday
and I'm first!

Welcome, children.

It is my
distinct pleasure

To present to you
your host,

A man who built
this factory

With nothing but a dream
and lots of money.

He's the inventor
of chocolate sandals,
the edible shoe,

As well as chew-poo,
the chewing gum that's
also a shampoo.

He is candy mastermind
zachary zany.
[Plays fanfare]

[Jiggling doorknob]

Right. Ahem.

Greetings, children.

Let me ask you
a question.

What's the secret
to making great candy?

Oh! Imagination
and whimsy?

If by that,
you mean precision

And efficiency, then
you're absolutely right.

Precision and efficiency
are the opposite
of imagination and whimsy.

Mm-hmm.
Shh!
Excuse me,

But is zachary zany
your real name?

Um, no.

Something
marketing
came up with.

Well,
that explains it.

[Whoosh whoosh]

Ah, yes.

Everyone's
always awestruck by
the bubble tester .

Wow! That's
the biggest bubble
I've ever seen!

Has it ever exploded
and shot gum everywhere
and then--

Of course not.

I'd never allow that to happen.
Think of the cleaning bill.

Uh...

All right, then,
moving on.

And there's something
in there.

And look over there
and over there, quickly.

Check it out
and there and...

Behind that door is
the candy imaginatrix
machine,

Which can produce
any kind of candy
you can imagine

As fast as you can
imagine it.

[All gasp]

Out of my way!
Out of my way!
I'm going in!

Uh-oh.
This could get ugly.

[Whispers indistinctly]

[Whistling a tune]
I've just been informed by

Whoever that guy was
that we're running
short on time,

So I'm afraid
we're going to have
to skip ahead

To the final
and my least favorite
stop of our tour,

The free candy
sample area.

Free sample area?

Ah! Me first! Me first!

Me first!

[Screeches]

Ok, children,
you'll each get
to select

One variety
of candy to try.

I believe there
was someone

Who may have
mentioned
something

About possibly
wanting to go
first.

Oh! Me, me, me, me, me!
I want that one!

Ah, yes.
My personal
favorite.

Becky: yikes.

I am awestruck at
this guy's cheapness.

But, hey, at least
eileen got to go first.

Maybe she'll be ok
with that.
More!

You've had
quite enough,
young lady.

Those samples are mine.

Mine, mine, mine!
Mine, mine, mine!

On the contrary.
They're mine,
mine, mine,

And I have
the paperwork
to prove it.

Oh...

Uh, what's that, bob?

You thought you saw
a gift shop?

Well, we'd better go
check it out.

Word up!

More candy! More candy!

All mine! Mine!

Now, perhaps
I wasn't clear.

It's one sample
each.

All right,
birthday girl.
You heard the man,

Even though you'd think
a candy mastermind would be
a little more generous.

No! It's my birthday
and I can have
anything I want!

Huggy! See if you
can slow her down!

[Screeching]

Ah! I can't see!

[Grumbling]

You're paying for that!

Aah!

Aah!

[Huggy screeching]

There's got to be
another way to defeat her.

Hmm. What's birthday girl's
one weakness?

[Screeches]
that's it! Her greed!

Hey, birthday girl,

All this candy's just
for regular people,

But I bet someone who's
celebrating her birthday

Could get something
really special from
the candy imaginatrix.

I want special candy!

That's the candy
imaginatrix?

I have to say,
I'm less than
awestruck.

It's my birthday,
and I want birthday candy!

Well, we'll see how
the birthday girl handles

Getting everything
her spoiled heart desires.

More candy!

More candy!

All the candy
is mine, mine...

I think she's finally
slowing down.

It's my...birth...day.

[Rumbling]
ooh!

[Groaning]

A tummy ache?

On my birthday?

No fair.

Ooh!

Ha! My plan worked!

Narrator: well, aren't you
quite the mastermind?

Well, I don't like to brag,
but if you're calling me someone

With exceptional intelligence
and creativity, then well--
heh--i guess I won't argue.

The zachary zany
candy company is
not liable

For any illness
due to exceeding

The recommended
limits for daily
candy consumption.

I think she just needs
to lie down.

Don't worry.
We know exactly how
to handle this.

Finally, we get to be
field-trip buddies.

Buddy!
Buddy!

Whoo!

Great news, children.

Mr. Zany was so happy

About word girl saving
his factory

That he's given
all of you
a special treat.

[All clamoring]

Once we get back
to the school,

I'll divide this up
so you can each have
a sliver,

And I will be
enjoying my candy on
the bus ride home.

[All groan]

Narrator: and so concludes
another delicious episode.

Tune in next time
and you'll be awestruck...

[Groaning]
by the adventures of
our own little mastermind,

Word girl.

Singers: ♪ word girl ♪

Hello. I'm beau handsome
and this is...

All: "may I have a word?"

As usual, the player
who correctly defines
today's featured word

Will win a fabulous prize!
Let's play...

"May I have a word?"

Yes, you may.
Today's featured word
is "evade."

To give you a clue,
here are some clips

From "word girl" that show
the meaning of the word.

[Ding]
yes, tommy?

To evade is to fly
through the sky.

I'm sorry.
That is incorrect.

You might want
to double-check that.

I really don't need to.
I know the definition
of "evade."

Good guess, though.
Anyone else?

[Ding]
yes, emily?

Do you have a definition
for the word "evade"?

From what I saw on
the clips, word girl
was trying

To get away
from stuff being
thrown at her,

Like when you're
playing dodge ball,
so I would say

"Evade" means
to dodge
or get away.

That is correct, emily.

See, tommy?
"Evade" doesn't
mean to fly.

Well, it should.

Ok. Congratulations, emily!

You are today's winner.

Huggy, show her
what she's won--

An official "word girl"
balance beam,

Just like those fancy gymnasts
use. Paint sold separately.

That's it for today's episode.
See you next time on...

"May I have a word?"

Singers: ♪ word girl ♪

Narrator: psst!

Listen for the words

"Envious" and "sibling."

It's a beautiful day
in the city.

Uh-oh.

Ok, so our city isn't
crime-free, but that's
why we have word girl,

Another reason for other cities
to be envious.

Oh, thank you!

Stop right there,
amazing rope guy!
You're under arrest!

Ha! It looks like
amazing rope guy is at
the end of his rope!

Narrator: oh, boy.
What?

"End of his rope"?
Hmph! Kind of obvious,
don't you think?

Oh, you're just envious
of my clever wordplay.
Would you like to try?

Narrator: ahem.

While word girl ties up
loose ends with
amazing rope guy,

Let's skip over to chuck,
the evil sandwich-making guy's
basement lair

And see what's swinging.

Hmph!
Come on, huggy.

Who's envious now?

Man: I am chuck, the evil
sandwich-making guy.

Everyone should be
envious of me!

I am all-powerful
and I answer to no one!

Woman: chucky!
What, ma?

Good news!

Your brother brent's
coming to town!

I better make
an appointment
to get my hair done!

[Sarcastically]
yeah. Great news, ma.

"Brent's coming to town.
Isn't that wonderful?

He's so handsome
and successful."

Narrator: I didn't know
chuck had a sibling.

What? You never heard
of my brother brent,

The handsome,
successful,

Everyone-loves-him
sandwich-making guy?

Narrator: no.
Oh, he's only the genius

Who invented
crustless bread.

Wow! I totally love
his crustless bread!

So that guy's your brother?

I could have invented
crustless bread, too,
you know.

Who would have thought
there were enough

Finicky eaters
to buy it?

What's wrong with crust?
I like crust.

Bread without crust
it's like peanut butter
without jelly.

Oh, ma, will you
make me a peanut butter
and jelly sandwich?

Woman: I don't have time!
Your brother's coming!

Narrator: meanwhile,
at the botsford home...

T.j.! I told you
to quit going
into my room!

[Gasps]
and why are you
holding angel face?

Because I like him.
He's cool.

Put him down,
please.

Wait, wait! Watch!
He can do tricks.

No, d-don't!
Air somersaults!

[In slow motion]
noooo!

[Crash]

Uh-oh.

T.j. Botsford,

You're never allowed
to go into my room again!

For the love
of jelly beans!
What's all the ruckus?

You know I need quiet
when I'm working
on my sudokus.

Look!

[Gasps]

Becky, it--it was
an accident.

Well, it never
would have happened

If you stayed out
of my room like you're
supposed to!

She's got you
there, son.

But I like to play
with the unicorns,

And if they're in her room,
that's where I got to go.

Hmm. Looks like we have
a sibling disagreement
on our hands.

Wish I never had
a sibling!

[Slam]
she hates me.

You know, getting
along with a sibling
isn't always easy.

Why do you keep
saying that word?
What is a sibling?

Oh, a sibling is
a, um--well,

You see, t.j.,
In a family,
there are--

No, I'll do it!
A sibling is an individual

Who shares one or both parents
with another person!

So a sibling is a brother
or sister, just like
a parent is a mom or dad.

Mom and dad are both
our parents, so that
makes us siblings,

Unfortunately!

I was just about
to say all the things
she just said. Wow.

Good job, becky.
You're welcome!

Ah! This is a much better place
to enjoy my lunch.

No one talking about
brent's crustless bread.

[Truck beeping in reverse]
[honk honk]

I just can't stop
shoving this crustless
bread in my mouth!

It's the greatest
thing ever,
greatest thing ever...

[Echoing]

I just can't stop
shoving this...

Chuck! My brother has

Have you heard about
my new crustless bread?

[Sighs]
why do I leave
the house?

Narrator: back at
the botsford home...

[Tv playing indistinctly]

Hi.

Hi.
[Turns off tv]

Hi!

Dad! Could you make
becky stop ignoring me?

Dad! Dad!

Becky, will you watch
some television
with your brother?

Come on, bob.
Let's go back to my room

And stare at
the shattered pieces
of my unicorn.

See, dad? Still mad.

Well, if I were in your shoes,
I'd take some money
from my piggybank

And buy becky
a replacement unicorn.

That's a great idea, dad.

How about driving me down
to unicorn land so I can
buy her a replacement?

You bet, son, and while
we're in town, I'd like
to stop at the button store.

I've been eating
so many crustless sandwiches,
I keep popping my buttons.

[Crash]
oh! There goes another one.

Brent: wow!
This place is awesome!

And here's where I play
my video games.

What a cool game area!

Wow, look at
your high score.
That's amazing!

Thanks!
Uh, do you play?

A little, but I wouldn't
be much competition for you.

Wait. So I'm better
at video games
than you?

Yeah. I'm envious
of your high score.

Maybe you could
give me some tips.

Uh...sure!
Sit down.

Ma: brenty boy!
The mayor just called!

He's going to give you
this year's
golden sandwich award!

[Gasps]
did you hear that, chuck?
Most of it.

Will you be able to come
to the golden sandwich
award ceremony, chuck?

Well, I think
I have to work.

Hey, I didn't know you got
a job. Congratulations.

No. I have
to work on my
video game scores.

Oh. I understand.

But it won't be
the same without having
my only sibling there.

I'm chuck, the evil
sandwich-making guy,

Not chuck, brent's brother.

If anyone deserves
that golden sandwich
award, it's me.

Wait a minute!
That gives me a great idea.

Oh, chuck,
you've done it again.

Ha ha ha! Oh, yeah.

Narrator: at the park,
the whole town is gathered

To see the mayor give brent
the golden sandwich award.

Ooh! It sure is
hot today.

Looks like chuck is switching
the real golden sandwich
with a fake.

Pretty sneaky.
Thanks!

Hello, ladies and...

Gentlemen!

For his contribution
to sandwiches

And to finicky eaters
everywhere,

It's an honor
to present the golden
sandwich award

To brent,
the handsome,
successful,

Everyone-loves-him
sandwich-making guy!

[Crowd cheering]

Bob, does that look like
the golden sandwich to you?

Uh, wait a minute.

This is not the real
golden sandwich.

It's a forgery!

[Crowd gasps]

A delicious
peanut butter forgery.

I had a feeling
something was wrong.
Come on, bob.

Word up!

Ha ha ha ha--

Uh, what's up, chuck?

Word girl.
What are you doing here?

I thought I'd come by
and watch your brother
get his award.

I do enjoy his bread.
You, too?

Isn't there anyone
out there who still
likes crusts?

Someone who doesn't
eat with their feet?

So what's in
your lunchbox?

Lunch.

Can I see?
No.

Tackle him.

Chuck!

Stealing your
brother's award.

You're behaving like
a very envious sibling.

What do you mean?

Well, brent is
your sibling because
you have the same parents.

I know what
"sibling" means.

What does
"envious" mean?
Oh!

Well, "envious" means to want
what someone else has.

See, you want all
the attention and success

That your brother brent has,
so you're envious of him.

You're right,
word girl!

I am envious of
all the attention
brent is getting.

Having a sibling
can sometimes be
a pain in the neck.

I have a friend who would
definitely agree with you.

But you shouldn't
be envious of brent

Just because brent is
popular and successful.

That doesn't mean that
you're not popular and
successful in your own way.

Really? How am I
successful?

Uh, you caught me
by surprise. Uh...

Don't you make
the best sandwiches
in the city?

Of course!

Everyone
knows that,

And mine are
made on bread
with crust.

See, chuck?
You don't have to be
envious of brent.

You should try
and get along with him.

Friends come and go,
but a sibling is someone

Who will always
be there for you.

Gosh, you're right,
word girl.

Now I feel bad about
taking the golden
sandwich award.

I wish I could
give it back.
Hmm.

I've got an idea, chuck.

Attention, everyone!

I have good news.
Come on out here, chuck.

[Crowd cheering]

Here. Look what
I found, brent.
This is for you.

Oh, thank you!
This award means even more
because it's coming from you,

My brother chuck.
Wow. Really?

But you don't
really mean that,
do you?

Oh, yeah!
I really admire you.

In fact, I'm kind
of envious of you.

Envious of me? Why?

Well, you get to live
in this great city
in mom's basement

And play video games
all day.

Who wouldn't
be envious of that?

So do you want to
come over for some
video game lessons?

Oh, sure!
We can split a sandwich.

But I want mine
with crusts.

Well, ok, but I'm going
to take the crust off
of my side of the sandwich.

Fine, but how
should we cut it?

Both: diagonally!

Becky,
i--i got you this.

[Gasps]

A new angel face?

T.j.! He's beautiful!
Thank you!

Sorry about breaking
angel face one.

Oh, that's ok.
I forgive you.

I'm sure lucky to have
a sibling like you.
Yeah.

Narrator: looks like all
the siblings in this episode
are finally getting along,

Which reminds me, I need
to call my brother glen
the sportscaster,

Who I'm not envious of
at all. Ahem.
