Brad: Hi there.

Ahem. Welcome to the show.

Xavier: We're about to meet

someone very important.

Yadina: Sir Winston Churchill!

Brad: Winston Churchill grew up

to become the Prime Minister

of the United Kingdom.

Xavier: That means he was the

leader of the whole country!

Yadina: That's a

very important job,

where everyone listens

to what you say.

Good thing he was a good talker!

Xavier: If he were

here right now,

he'd say something like:

'Now is not the time to

turn off your screens,

but to look forward

to the show ahead.'

Brad: Or he might just say,

'Let's start the show.'

Yadina: Now you're talking.

Xavier: Ok. Let's get hands-on

at the hands-on center.

I'm going to paint.

Yadina: I want to do...

paper crafts!

Brad: Oh, okay. I think I'll-

(gasps)

Is that modeling clay?

Jin: Hey Charlie,

let's build a castle!

Charlie: Yeah!

Jin: I'll make the towers.

You do the walls.

Brad: Hey, um, I know

how to make castles.

Can I build with you?

Jin: Okay!

Charlie: Sure!

Brad: Great! I'll build

a moving drawbridge.

It's kind of my specialty...

Jin: Nah, we don't

need a bridge.

My walls will have

spikes all over.

To keep the dragons out.

Roar!

Brad: Okay. But if

we have a bridge too-

Charlie: Here, you

can make the flag!

Brad: (sigh)

Okay.

Here goes.

Brad: Aaahh!

Yadina: Sorry, Brad.

It's just us! We decided

to paint paper masks.

Cool, huh?

Xavier: Hey, you're

building a castle!

Are you going to

make one of your

super awesome drawbridges?

Brad: I wanted to,

but the other kids aren't

really listening to me.

I don't know what to do...

Xavier: To the Secret Museum!

Brad: Aaah!

As if time travel wasn't

scary enough already.

Xavier: I wonder who the Secret

Museum will send us to meet?

Yadina: And where we'll go?

Brad: And when?

Clock: (alarm)

Brad: Woah!

Yadina: Look out below.

Xavier: Woo-hoo.

Xavier: Hi Berby!

Yadina: Hi Berby!

Brad: Hi Berby!

Berby: Hello.

Brad: Oof!

Brad: Oof!

Xavier: (humming)

Berby: Woo!

Xavier: We're getting something.

Brad: What is it?

Yadina: A bow!

That would look very

handsome on you, Dr. Zoom.

Xavier: I wonder

who it belonged to?

Xavier: 'Sir Winston Churchill'.

That's who we're going to meet!

Yadina: Oh, it's a bow tie!

Brad: Looks like we're

going to England,

part of the United Kingdom.

In the year .

Xavier: That's over,

um... years ago!

Brad: Whoa! I hope

Winston Churchill

can help get those

kids to listen to me.

Xavier: Only one

way to find out!

Xavier: Ready for adventure?

Yadina: Ready!

(deep breath)

Ready.

Yadina: Here we go!

Brad: It's happening!

Yadina: Hang on, Dr Zoom!

Xavier: Woo-hoo!

Brad: Woaaah!

Berby: (laughing)

Xavier: So this is

England in .

Yadina: Any sign of

Winston Churchill?

Churchill: Excuse me, you're

standing on my treasure!

Brad: Oh! Sorry.

Here's your, uh-?

Churchill: Treasure!

Thanks.

Yadina: (gasps) That's him!

Winston Churchill.

Churchill: Sorry I startled you,

but I had to speak

up for myself.

I need this for the game.

Xavier: Game?

Churchill: Yes! Treasure Hunter.

I play it a lot back home.

I just got here and don't

really know anyone yet,

so it'll be nice to

play with everyone.

Yadina: We just got here,

too! From the future.

Churchill: Oh. uh...

Do you want to play?

Yadina: Yes, please!

Xavier: Count us in.

Brad: But, we've never played

Treasure Hunter before.

Churchill: Oh, it's fun!

Let me explain.

Churchill: There are two

teams--Green and Yellow.

They each have their own flag.

That's the treasure.

The treasure sits

in your home base.

To win, you have to grab

the other team's flag

and bring it to your home base,

before they capture your flag

and get it to their home base.

Yadina: Sounds fun.

Xavier: Piece of cake.

Churchill: But, that's not all!

If the other team tags you,

you have to sit

in the 'out box'

for the rest of the game.

Yadina: Got it. Get the

other team's treasure,

bring it back to your home base,

and don't get tagged.

Churchill: Exactly! One of you

can be on Team Yellow with me,

and the rest can

join Team Green.

Yadina: I wanna be green!

And you're with me, Xavier.

Brad: So, I'm playing

against you guys?

Churchill: Don't worry Brad,

I have a plan!

Churchill: Okay, team

yellow. Here's my plan-

Churchill: We shouldn't

run straight at the green

team or we'll get tagged.

It's okay, Winston.

You're new here!

We know how to play.

Benjamin: We just run really

fast, grab their treasure,

and run back. Easy-peasy.

Churchill: Uh..

But they might tag us!

So what if we-

Thedore: You can stay here

and guard our treasure.

(shouts)

Game on!

Brad: So... I guess we'll

just go with what they said?

Churchill: But,

I know how we can win.

Benjamin: C'mon, Brad! Run!

Brad: Uh-- coming!

Churchill: Hm, I need

to speak up for myself.

Brad: Uh-oh!

Kids: (laughing)

Yadina: Hi Brad!

Hate to tag you, but

it's part of the game.

Benjamin: Retreeat!

Brad: Huh? Retreat? Yiikes!

Churchill:

Where's Philip?

Benjamin: He was

tagged by the kid

in the strange hooded shirt.

Brad: Uh oh... we're losing!

Churchill: Not for long!

If you'll listen to my

plan, we can still win.

See those trees over there?

Churchill: We can

run around them

so it's harder for

them to tag us.

Benjamin: Nah, the trees

will get in our way.

Theodore: We just

need to run faster.

C'mon!

Brad: Um, maybe we

should just go along

with what they're saying?

Churchill: No, when you have

something important to say,

you need to speak

up for yourself.

I know how to win.

Churchill: Brad, you

guard our treasure!

Brad: If Winston can't get

our team to listen to him,

how am I supposed to get

those kids at the museum

to listen to me?

(sigh)

(squeaking)

Brad: What do you

think, Dr. Zoom?

Wait. Dr Zoom?

Where's our flag?!

(giggles)

Brad: Uh-oh.

(laughing)

Guys!

They took our treasure!

(laughing)

Nooo!

Xavier: Look out.

Yadina: This is fun.

Benjamin: Nooo!

We're gonna lose!

Yadina: I'm so fast.

Churchill:

Hmm...We can't give up!

Please, listen to me.

I have a plan...

Churchill:

Benjamin and Theodore,

you keep Xavier away

from his home base.

That will give me time to sneak

in and grab the green flag.

Xavier: Uh-oh.

Yadina: I'm the fastest.

Churchill:

Now here's the big idea:

I'll tie the flag onto Dr. Zoom

and toss the turtle

all the way to Brad,

at our home base.

Brad: C'mon, c'mon.

Yadina: Go Dr. Zoom! Fly!

Xavier: Yadina! Keep running!

Yadina: Oh! Right.

Here I come!

Xavier: (gasps)

Brad: Oof!

Churchill:

Yay! We did it!

Team Yellow wins!

Theodore: We did it!

Benjamin: We won! Yippie!

Hooray Winston and Brad!

Xavier: That was amazing!

Yadina: Yeah.

Brad: Thanks, guys.

What's even more amazing

is Winston Churchill.

He had something

important to say,

and he spoke up for himself!

He had a plan to win the game,

and he spoke up so our

whole team would listen...

I think I'm going to try that.

Brad: Bye, Winston!

Benjamin: That was fun.

Brad: Thanks for everything!

Xavier: Berby? Let's go home.

Xavier: Okay, Brad.

If you could make that awesome

play, you can do anything!

Yadina: Go, Brad!

Go, Brad! Go, Brad!

Brad: I just need to

speak up for myself.

Brad: Hey guys? I have some

ideas for the castle that, um,

I think you'll like..

Brad: I like building

real-looking castles. Don't you?

Jin: Yeah.

Charlie: Oh yeah. Of course.

Brad: Well, real castles

have drawbridges.

Jin: Nah, we don't

need a drawbridge.

Brad: But, real

castles also have a moat,

filled with lots of water.

Charlie: Oh yeah!

Moats are cool!

And if you have a moat,

you can't get into the castle

without a drawbridge.

Like this. Right?

Jin: Whoa!

Charlie: Yeah.

Okay - let's make a drawbridge!

What do we do?

Brad: I'll show you!

Brad: Ta-da! Our

finished castle.

Complete with...

(chains clinking)

drawbridge!

Yadina: Coooool!

Brad: All thanks to

Sir Winston Churchill,

who always spoke up for himself.

Yadina: And when he got older,

he spoke up for

his whole country

as the Prime Minister

of the United Kingdom.

Xavier: And is considered one of

the best leaders of all time.

Brad: Thanks for joining our

awesome adventure to meet

Sir Winston Churchill.

Yadina: Who used to be a

kid, just like you and me.

Xavier: So kids like you

can change the world!

I am Xavier.

Yadina: I am Yadina.

Brad: I am Brad. And I will

always speak up for myself,

just like Sir Winston Churchill!



Berby: (bleep, blarp, bloop)

♪ Doo dee doo do do do doo ♪

Berby: (bleep, blarp, bloop)

(bonk)

(bonk, bonk)

(ding)

Berby: Hey! Yay!

Yadina: Hi Berby, you

ready for hide and seek?

Berby: (excited beeping)

Yadina: , ...

Yadina: , ...

, ...

, ...

---!

Hiding in the butterfly

conservatory huh?

Dr. Zoom, did you know

there are twenty thousand

different kinds of butterflies?

Where could you be?

Aha!

Hmmm...

Oh Berby? Where are you?

Oooh, scarlet

peacock butterflies!

My! What big beautiful

wings do you all have?

All the butter to fly with!

(laughter)

Get it? Butter to fly with!

Berby: (laughing)

Yadina: Butterfly!

(laughing)

Aha! Gotcha Berby!

Thanks for exploring the

museum with me Berby.

Everything is more fun

when we do it together.

Xavier: Hi. Glad

you could make it.

Today, we're about to meet...

Yadina: The one and only...

Brad: Cleopatra!

Xavier: Cleopatra was

the Queen of Egypt.

Yadina: And she was born a long,

long, long, long, looong...

(panting)

loooong time ago.

Xavier: Two thousand

years to be exact!

Yadina: Now that is

a looong time ago.

Brad: Oh boy. Two

thousand years ago?

That's a long time ago.

Little dizzy. Pheww.

(deep breathing)

(thud)

Yadina: Start the show?

Brad: Yes please.

Xavier: It only happens

a few times a year,

and I've never seen

one before. And, uh...

...oh! It'll look super cool

and super big and...

so, I'll say to Mom and Dad:

Please can I stay up all

night to see the super moon?

Yadina: You lost me.

Xavier: There's going to

be a super moon tonight.

Which is basically a

moon that's extra big

and extra awesome.

Yadine: Wow.

Brad: Cool.

Xavier: And I really

want to see it.

But...I'd have to stay

up past my bedtime.

Brad/Yadina: Ooooohhh.

Yadina: You know how serious

Mom and Dad are about bedtime.

Xavier: That's my problem.

And why I'm practicing

on you guys.

I need to find the

perfect way to ask.

Any ideas?

Yadina: I know. Tell Mom and Dad

you've got two words for them:

Super...moon.

Xavier: I like it.

But, it didn't work when

Dr Zoom wanted more pie.

Yadina: True.

It was a sad day for Dr Zoom.

Xavier: Any ideas?

Brad: Me? I'm sort of a

'quietly-hope-for-what-

you-want' kind of guy.

Brad: (whispers)

Not the secret museum,



Brad: (whispers)

Not the secret museum,

not the secret museum...

Xavier: This is a problem for...

the secret museum!

Yadina: Yeah!

Brad: Ugh. Of course.

Wait for me!

Xavier: I wonder who the Secret

Museum will send us to meet?

Yadina: And where we'll go?

Brad: And when?

Yadina: Look out below!

Xavier: Woo-hoo!

Xavier: Hi Berby.

Yadina: Hi Berby.

Berby: Hello

Brad: Hi Berby.

Oof!

Xavier: (humming)

Berby: Woo!

We're getting something.

Yadina: What is it?

Brad: A coin!

I wonder who that is?

Xavier: "Cleopatra."

The coin must be hers.

Yadina: And we're going

to Egypt to meet her.

Brad: And we're

meeting her in BCE?

Xavier: BCE stands for

Before Common Era.

Yadina: Before what?

Xavier: Before Year One.

Yadina: Whoa.

Brad: So we're going back by

two...thousand...years?

Berby: (computing noises)

Brad: Oh boy.

Yadina: I hope Cleopatra

can help you stay up

to see the Super Moon.

Xavier: Only one

way to find out.

Ready for adventure?

Yadina: Ready!

Brad: (deep breath)

Ready.

Yadina: Oh, Brad.

Xavier: (laughing)

Berby: (computing noises)

Xavier: Here we go!

Brad: It's happening!

Yadina: Hang on, Dr Zoom!

Xavier: Woo-hoo!

Brad: Whoa.

Berby: (laughing)

Yadina: So this is

Egypt in BCE.

Xavier: It reminds me of

back home at the museum.

Brad: Time traveled...

so far...so dizzy.

Oof!

Brad: I'm okay!

Ah-choo!

Cat: (meow)

(purring)

Brad: It doesn't

matter where we are,

I'm always, always, allergic to

cats.

(meow)

Brad: Achuu!

(meow)

Yadina: Hey, it's Cleopatra.

Cleopatra: Ya su.

Yadina: Xavier, we

need the translator.

Xavier: Oh. Right!

Cleopatra: Hello!

I see you found my cat.

Do you like animals?

Kids: Yeah!

Cleopatra: Wonderful.

Because I need some help.

Could you please look

after him for me?

Kids: Hmmm. Um...

Cleopatra: Just for the day?

Xavier: Okay.

Yadina: Oh, okay.

Cleopatra: He's very friendly,

and clearly likes you.

Brad: (laughing)

Thank you so much.

I'm sure you'll look

after him with great care.

(meow)

Brad: Did I just

agree to catsit?

Brad: Did I just

agree to catsit?

Yadina: Yup. That happened.

(sneeze)

Xavier: We better

go find Cleopatra.

Xavier: (gasps)

There she is.

Cleopatra: Oh hi

again. Come on in.

Xavier: Hey Cleopatra,

question for you;

how did you get us

to watch your cat?

Cleopatra: I asked

the right way.

I was prepared, confident,

and polite.

Xavier: Huh. Well, it worked.

Brad: Ah-choo!

(meow!)

Yadina: Buut our friend Brad

is kind of really

allergic to cats.

Brad: (mumbles) Uh huh...

Cleopatra: Oh, Sorry Brad!

Cleopatra: I was just trying

to get away for awhile

so I could go to the big

festival in town today.

Yadina: Big festival?

Cleopatra: Yes. It's

a really big party

where everyone dresses

up and plays music.

♪ (festive Egyptian music) ♪

I really want to go.

Brad/Yadina: Wow.

Cleopatra: But I

have to ask my dad

if I can miss my

afternoon lesson.

And he is not

going to like that.

Xavier: I can totally relate.

I really want to

see a super moon,

but I have to ask my parents

if I can stay up past bedtime.

Cleopatra: Ooo,

that's a tough one.

Xavier: So how are you

going to ask your dad?

Cleopatra: I'm going to

ask him the right way.

I'll be prepared,

confident, and polite.

Xavier: But what does that mean?

Cleopatra: I'll teach you.

Cleopatra: First, when you ask

for something you really want,

you have to be prepared.

That means you have to know

how to explain what you want.

Cleopatra: I want to

go to the festival

so I can meet new people,

have fun and learn new things.

Brad: Be prepared.

Xavier: Got it.

Cleopatra: Next, you

have to be confident.

If you don't believe

what you're saying,

neither will your parents.

Brad/Xavier: Oooohhh.

Yadina: That makes sense.

Cleopatra: So stand up straight-

Look them right in the eyes,

and speak clearly.

Cleopatra: No fidgeting

because it distracts

from what you're saying.

Brad: Oh. Right. Ah...

Cleopatra: Lastly, and this is

very important, be polite.

Say please and thank you

because it's the

right thing to do

when asking for something.

Yadina: I'm always polite.

Thank you.

Cleopatra: (laugh)

Good.

Xavier: But what

happens if they say no?

Cleopatra: Well "no" means no.

But, you can try to think

of why they'd say no

and come up with an idea

to help them say "yes."

Xavier: Like what?

Cleopatra: Come, I'll show you.

Cleopatra: Dad?

There's something I

would like to ask you.

This afternoon, I'd

really like to go

to the festival in town.



to the festival in town.

I know that means

missing my lesson,

but I think, going

to the festival

will be good for me

as a future Queen

to get to know people

and learn new things.

I also think it will

be lots of fun.

So please can I go?

Xavier: Uh-oh. Looks

like he might say no.

Cleopatra: I know my

lessons are important

and I shouldn't miss them.

So, what if I take two

hours of lessons tomorrow

instead of just one?

King: Mm-hmm.

You asked in an excellent

manner, Cleopatra.

You may go.

Cleopatra: (giggles)

Thank you so much, Dad.

Xavier: Asking the right

way totally worked.

Yadina: Cleopatra is goood.

Brad: Really good.

Just like this

good little kitty.

(laughing)

(people cheering/celebrating))

Xavier: Okay. I have

got to try this.

I'm going to ask Mom and

Dad if I can stay up

to see the super moon,

in the right way.

I'm going to be...

prepared, confident and polite.

Crowd: (cheering)

Cleopatra: (laughing)

Kids: Bye, Cleopatra! Thank you.

Cleopatra: Bye!

Xavier: Berby? Let's go home!

Berby: (bleeping)

Xavier: And so, since it

doesn't happen very often,

I would like your permission

to stay up past bedtime

to see the Super Moon.

Please? It would be a

great learning experience,

and really fun.

Yadina: This isn't looking good.

Xavier: But, I know that

bedtimes are important,

because we need our sleep.

Soooo, what if...

we go to bed an hour

earlier tomorrow?

Xavier: Now that is

a super, Super Moon.

(whispers)

Thanks Mom and Dad.

Yadina: I think tomorrow,

I'll ask for a cat.

Brad: (sneezes)

Yadina: Wasn't meeting

Cleopatra so much fun?

Dr. Zoom loved the head dress.

Brad: When she grew up,

Cleopatra became the

Queen of Egypt.

Xavier: And even though she

lived a loooong time ago,

people are still really

interested in her today.

Yadina: Yup. There are tons of

books and movies all about her.

Xavier: Thanks for joining

our awesome adventure

to meet Cleopatra.

Brad: Who used to be a

kid just like you and me.

Yadina: So kids like you

can change the world.

I am Yadina.

Brad: I am Brad.

Xavier: I am Xavier. And I

will always ask for things

the right way.

Just like Cleopatra.
