Backyardigans: "what's bugging you?"

(Loud buzzing)

Afternoon.

Best pest control here.

I notice you have a bug buzzing around your head.

But don't worry,

We'll take care of it.

(Buzzing)

Hmm...

Uniqua, I've identified the pest.

It's a common housefly.

Good work, tyrone.

So it's a good thing we speak fly.

Come on, let's tell it to fly away.

Both: bzzz-bzzzz.

Uniqua: there it goes!

Afternoon, little fly!

See that?

We understand pests

And pests understand us.

That's why we can always take care

All right, let's get to work.

We've got a pest problem at the home of lady tasha.

Address?

She lives at... One nice house lane.

Nice house lane?

I know where that is.

It's a beautiful country lane...

Uniqua: that goes up a big hill...

Tyrone: to a really big house.

There it is!

(Doorbell rings)

Afternoon, ma'am.

We're best pest control.

What's bugging you?

Please, please hurry!

Thank goodness you're here!

Mr. Spiffy will be here any minute!

Mr. Spiffy?

Ma'am, we don't know who that is.

Why, mr. Spiffy is the president of...

The spiffy club!

Ma'am, we don't know what that is.

Well, you see,

Only people with the neatest

And spiffiest houses

Can join the spiffy club.

He's coming here today to see if my house

Is spiffy enough for me to join the club!

(Clapping) oh, joy!

(Clapping)

Ma'am, your house looks very spiffy to me.

Well, yes, it is.

But there's one problem:

I just found a pest in my house!

No problem.

We'll take care of...

What's buggin' you.

(Gasps)

Well, can you handle... That?

Meep?

Tyrone: what is it?

I don't know.

But you know the most important rule of pest control!

Always identify the pest!

Check. Identify the pest.

Whoa! Could it be?

I think it is!

What? What is it?

Ma'am, you've got a worman in your house.

A what?

Uniqua: a worman.

They're very rare.

We've never even seen one before.

Meep, meep, meep, meep, meep.

Tyrone: uniqua,

Do you speak any worman?

No, but I could try.

Meep, meep-meep meep?

Worman: (shrieks) meep!

I certainly didn't expect that.

Was it something I said?

There it goes!

Uniqua: get it!

Tyrone: over there.

Uniqua: catch it!

Oof.

Oof.

(Shrieks)

Worman: meep!

Both: huh?

Tasha: (gasps)

(Grunt of effort)

Phew!

Uniqua: I think it's hiding.

(Doorbell rings)

(Gasps)

Oh dear, oh my!

Oh dear, oh my!

Mr. Spiffy is here

And I have a worman in my house!

Don't worry, ma'am.

We'll take care of what's buggin' you!

Just don't let mr. Spiffy see you!

He mustn't know that I have a pest!

(Exhales)

Mr. Spiffy, I presume?

Mmm-hmm.

Would you like to come in?

Pablo: mmm-hmm.

Hmm... Hmm...

Mmm-hmm.

I see.

Mmm, yes.

Hmmm... Quite spiffy.

You know, mr. Spiffy,

It's always been a dream of mine

To be a member of the spiffy club.

Mmm-hmm. I see.

Ahem.

Well, mr. Spiffy?

Do you think I can join the spiffy club?

Ahem. Ms. Tasha,

I must see the rest of the house.

Why yes! Of course!

Silly me.

Right this way.

That worman's around here somewhere.

We need something to lure it out

Of its hiding place.

Tyrone, that's it!

Don't you remember the most important rule

Of pest control?

Check. Pests love snacks.

But we don't have any snacks.

Well, I guess we'll just have to make something.

Come on.

Pablo: hmm...

Very... Spiffy.

Come, mr. Spiffy, this way.

Let me show you the flower garden.

I wonder what kind of snack we should make.

Let's see...

If I were a worman,

I think I'd want a triple-decker

Tuna fish sandwich

With lettuce and tomato on rye bread.

And a pickle.

What about cupcakes?

Hmm... Yeah, I'd eat that too.

All right, tyrone,

Let's get crackin'.

We just can't make a mess!

I think we might have made a mess.

Tasha: this way, mr. Spiffy.

Both: uh-oh.

(Gasp)

Who turned out the lights?

Come now, let's just hurry through the kitchen.

And by the way,

What a lovely hat, mr. Spiffy!

Come, come, out we go.

Pablo: ah, the lights are back on.

What's going on?

We're making cupcakes, ma'am.

Cupcakes?!

Want one?

Yeah!

I mean, no, no. Of course not!

Don't be silly.

I must get back to mr. Spiffy.

So please just take care of the pest!

Don't worry, ma'am.

We'll take care of what's buggin' you!

(Ding)

The cupcakes are ready!

(Sniffs)

Mmm...

Mmm...

Worman: mmm...

(Sniffs)

The worman!

It worked!

Quick, open the door!

Check!

Here little worman, worman, worman.

Freshly-baked cupcakes!

Mmm-mmm!

New wormans: mmm...

Tyrone: (gasp)

All: mmm...

Uh-oh.

(Gasp) more wormans!

Hey!

Wormans: (meep, meep, meep, meep)

Come back here!

Wormans: meep, meep, meep, meep...

Those other wormans

Must have smelled the cupcakes!

Oh boy. (Exhales)

All right.

Remember the most important rule of pest control.

Don't panic!

Check. Don't panic.

Don't panic, don't panic.

Let's surround them.

Wormans: mmmm. (Burp)

Weee!

Weee! Weee!

Meep, meep, meep, meep!

Both: ahhhh!

Wormans: weeeeeeeee!

I certainly wasn't expecting that.

I think eating the cupcakes

Made them really bouncy.

Come on!

Wormans: (squealing happily)

(Bouncing)

Both: (gasp)

(Clatters on the floor)

Oh no!

They're going to mess everything up!

We have to get them out of here.

Worman: (giggles)

(Squealing)

I think they're playing a game.

Wormans: (squeal and laugh)

Well, you remember the most important rule

Of pest control, right?

Oh, yeah.

Always play with the pests!

Tyrone: hey, worman!

Bet you can't jump in this vase!

Wormans: ooooh!

Wormans: weee!

(Squealing and laughing)

Come on, tyrone, we can get them all.

Both: ♪ get those little critters

Pablo: ms. Tasha,

I must inspect the bedroom now.

Tasha: why of course, mr. Spiffy.

(Gasps) here they come!

Tyrone: but there's still one worman left.

What do we do?

Just... Stand still!

Pablo: mmm-hmm.

Statues.

Very interesting indeed.

Tasha: (sighs)

Hmm... Pillows: fluffy.

Mm-hmm.

All: (gasp)

Hmm... Ms. Tasha, might I ask,

Is there anything on my head, hm?

Um...

Uh...

Why yes, mr. Spiffy!

Your hat is on your head.

My hat?

Ah, yes. Why of course.

Shall we carry on?

After you, mr. Spiffy.

What's going on?

Well, there was just one worman.

Now there's lots of wormans.

But don't worry, ma'am.

We're playing a game with them.

A game?

Yeah. Wanna play?

Sure!

I mean, no. Ahem.

Of course not.

I must get back to mr. Spiffy.

Please take care of the wormans.

There it is!

Wee-wee-wee!

Get it!

(Leaping grunt) oof.

Aha!

Phew!

Wormans: (laughing)

They're laughing.

I certainly wasn't expecting that.

I guess wormans laugh after they play a game.

Hmm.

Well, come on,

Let's get them out of here!

(Gasp)

Wormans: (laughing and squealing)

More wormans?

The laughing wormans made more wormans come.

Wormans: party! Party! Party!

Both: party?!

Wormans: party! Party! Party!

Tyrone: come on, guys!

Uniqua: hey! Stop that!

Worman: party! Party! Party!

This looks like a worman party, all right.

What are we gonna do?

Well, there's only one thing left to do.

You remember the most important rule

Of pest control, don't you?

Check.

When nothing else works...

Beg!

Both: please! Just leave! Quiet down!

Please, please, please just leave!

Don't do that!

Hey, stop that! Please can you leave?!

Oh no! Shhh! Come on, guys!

Hmm...

Well, mr. Spiffy,

There's only one room left for you to see.

This way to the living room.

Mm-hm.

Wormans: (squealing)

(Shrieks)

Tyrone: wait!

Don't go in there!

Hmm...

(Gasps)

Ms. Tasha,

I must make sure that every room is spiffy,

Or my name isn't mr. Spiffy.

And it is.

Oh, for goodness sakes.

Wormans: party! Party! Party!

Pablo: hmm...

Wormans: (squealing)

Tyrone: ma'am? Sir?

What's bugging you?

Ahem. Ms. Tasha,

What precisely is going on, hmm?

Well, mr. Spiffy, I guess I should tell you.

(Sighs) I have a bit of a pest problem.

A pest problem? Hmm...

Not too spiffy...

Well, I don't see how I can let you

Into the spiffy club

With a messy, pest-filled home.

Yes, mr. Spiffy, I understand.

Uniqua: I guess there really is only one thing left to do.

What's that?

It's the most important rule of pest control.

When you can't b*at 'em...

Both: join 'em!

Wormans: conga!

I believe I just had... Fun.

Yes, I had fun, too.

Even if I didn't get to join the spiffy club.

No, ms. Tasha,

I'm afraid you're wrong about that.

Mr. Spiffy?

Pablo: this is the cleanest, spiffiest house

I've ever seen.

Tasha: oh, mr. Spiffy!

Does that mean I get to join the spiffy club?

Mmm-hmm!

Tasha: oh, joy! Joy I say!

Pablo: (stomach growls)

(Gasp) was that another pest?

No, ms. Tasha,

Just my stomach.

Wanna come to my house for some cupcakes?

Mmmmm! Yeah!

Sounds great!

All: (giggle)

Tasha: oh, joy!

All: (giggle)

Uniqua: what's bugging you?

Tyrone: that was an excellent worman chasing adventure,

Don't you think?

It sure was.
