[bunniefuu]

Hi, I'm pablo.

My name's tyrone.

I'm uniqua.

I'm tasha.

And my name's austin.

All: and we're...

♪ Your backyard friends, the backyardigans ♪

♪ Together in the backyard again ♪

Pablo: ♪ in the place where we belong ♪

Uniqua: ♪ where we'll probably sing a song ♪

Tasha: ♪ and we'll maybe dance along

All: ♪ we've got the whole wide world in our yard to explore ♪

♪ We always find things we've never seen before ♪

♪ That's why every day we're back for more ♪

♪ With your friends,

♪ The backyardigans

Backyardigans: "to the centre of the earth"

Where could it be?

I wonder what I did with it?

It's gotta be here somewhere.

Maybe it's under here.

Oh, hi. It's tyrone.

Have you seen my lucky penny?

I can't find it anywhere.

Pablo: watch out!

Uniqua: coming through!

Tyrone: hey!

Uniqua and pablo: whoooaaah! Ha ha!

(Laughter)

What's that?

Why, young lad, this is a rocket wagon!

Part rocket, part wagon

And all speed!

Oh. Well, it's very nice.

Nice?

It's the fastest wagon on earth!

It has to be in here.

Have you lost something, lad?

(Sighs) my lucky penny.

I think I might've dropped it in the sandbox.

Ah! Well, you're in luck, my lad!

Because I am professor uniqua.

And I'm professor pablo!

We are world famous inventors!

Well, that's great and all,

But how's that gonna help me find my penny?

Because our inventions can do anything!

They can even help you find that penny!

Pablo and uniqua: to the center of the earth!

What?!

So let's get going!

Tyrone: but-

Uniqua: no buts! Our journey to the center of the earth

Shall begin in our workshop!

Pablo: where there are inventions in boxes!

Uniqua: and inventions on shelves!

Pablo: and inventions all over the place!

Tyrone: but, but, but...

How's all this stuff gonna help me find my penny?

Allow us to explain.

Your penny fell from the sandbox,

Here...

All the way to the center of the earth,

Here.

It did?

To reach your penny

We'll have to dig underground.

And then dig deeper, and deeper...

And deeper! Until finally we'll arrive

At the center of the earth.

And to make this amazing journey we'll need...

Pablo and uniqua: an amazing invention!

Pablo and uniqua: ♪ we're inventors, amazing inventors ♪

♪ Our inventions can go slow or really fast ♪

♪ They're inventors, amazing inventors ♪

♪ And here are our inventions from the past ♪

♪♪

♪ We invented the amazing spring-o-case ♪

♪ Makin' great inventions since our birth ♪

♪ They're inventors, amazing inventors ♪

Pablo and uniqua: ♪ now let's journey to the center of the earth ♪

Can't I just use this to dig for my penny?

That little shovel? Poppycock!

Balderdash!

In unison: inventions are always the way!

(Sighs)

For this journey we'll need...

The most powerful digging invention ever made!

(Button clicks, door whirs)

Whoa...

Pablo and uniqua: the rocket-drill!

Have you ever seen anything like it?

Uniqua: part rocket, part drill,

All rocket-drill!

We need that big thing

To get a penny out of the ground?

Ready lad?

Take this!

We'll need this, professor!

And this!

And this!

What is all stuff?

It's a long way to the center of the earth.

We might need some extra...

Pablo and uniqua: inventions!

(Heaving grunt)

Take your seat, lad!

And keep an eye on that box!

(Computer board bleeps)

(Drill begins to whir)

This screen shows us what's outside

The rocket drill.

Even my penny?

Especially your penny! Ready, professor?

Ready, professor!

Uniqua and pablo: ten, nine, eight,

Seven, six, five,

Four, three, two, one...

Blast off!

(Drill rumbles)

Uniqua and pablo: to the center of the earth!

Oh man!

All: ♪ going to the center of the earth ♪

♪ Oh, what will be there

♪ Going to the center of the earth! ♪

♪ What will we see there

(Drill grinds against earth)

(Drill whooshes through the hole)

Um, why does it feel like we're falling?

Oh. Because we are falling.

Ah.

All: ahhhhhhhhh!

Aaaahhh! Aah! Aaaahhhh!

Whooooaaaa!

Whoooaaa-oaoaoh!

Oof!

Professor, we seem to have landed

In some kind of bouncy material.

I couldn't agree more, professor!

Aw man!

(Gasps) my penny!

(Sensors beep)

Pablo: the penny didn't fall all the way

To the center of the earth after all!

Unfortunate.

Yes, too bad.

Sweet! Let's go get it!

Don't forget the box!

Pablo and uniqua: to the penny!

(Ground makes "boinging" sounds)

Bouncy, professor!

Very bouncy, professor!

(Gasps) my penny!

Just a moment, lad.

How shall we get that penny, professor?

How about I just walk over and pick it up?

Poppycock!

Balderdash!

Walking over there could be dangerous!

Or scary!

Or boring!

We will use an invention. Like...

Both: the grab-o-copter!

By pressing the buttons on this remote control,

I can fly the grab-o-copter over

To pick up the penny!

That sounds kind of complicated.

Nonsense! Professor, start the grab-o-copter!

(Grab-o-copter whirs)

A little further, professor.

Now down,

Now left.

Left?

Pablo: right!

Uniqua: right?

Pablo: no! Left!

Uniqua: left?!

Pablo: there!

We've got it!

Lad, the grab-o-copter has grabbed your penny.

Oops.

Oh no! My penny!

Don't worry,

The grab-o-copter will grab it.

(Clanks against the ground)

Tyrone: my penny!

The grab-o-copter is out of control!

All: whoa!

Oh, I'll just grab it myself!

Whoaaa!

Whoa!

I can't... Stop...

Bouncing!

Whoa! Hey! Yikes!

Uh oh!

Come, professor.

Pablo: the penny!

Tyorne and uniqua: whoa! Whoa! Aaah!

Yikes! Whoa!

I've got it!

I've got it!

I've got it!

All: (impact grunt)

Oof.

Tyrone: my penny!

It's gone.

It's falling to the center of the earth.

I knew we should've just walked over

And picked it up in the first place!

Poppycock!

Balderdash!

Pablo and uniqua: inventions are always the way!

The way to drop my penny!

Pablo: come! Back to the rocket drill!

Uniqua: and onward to the center of the earth!

♪♪

All: ♪ going to the center of the earth ♪

Uniqua: ♪ caves,

Pablo: ♪ or trees

Uniqua: ♪ or bumblebees

(Rumbling)

Professor, I think we've reached a new layer!

(Cracking, drill rumbles)

All: whoa!

Ahhhh!

Whoaaa!

Whoaaa! Whoa! Whaaaa!

Aahhhhhhhhh! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoaoaoa, whoaoao!

Look, professor, sparkling rock!

Indeed, professor!

It looks like diamonds!

Tyrone: look! My penny!

Uniqua and pablo: to the penny!

All: whoaaaa! Ahh! Yikes!

Uniqua: slippery, professor!

Pablo: very slippery, professor!

Oof!

Hey look! My penny!

If I just give this a push,

The penny will fall right into my hand!

Poppycock!

Balderdash!

It would be much safer...

And much wiser...

And a whole lot more fun...

To use-

An invention?!

Why, that's what I was gonna say!

This calls for...

The vacuu-shoes.

Part shoes, part bathroom plunger,

The sucking action of the vacuu-shoes

Will allow professor pablo to climb up the wall.

(Shoes make a thwumping sound as the suction to the ground)

But that's so complicated!

We could get it down with one little push.

Shhh! You'll disturb the professor's concentration!

(Shoes thwump)

You're right next to my penny!

Reach!

(Grunt of effort) (diamond pillar creaks)

Pablo: uh-oh.

Uh-oh!

Whoaaa!

Tyrone: my penny!

(Crash)

Tyrone and uniqua: whoa! Whoa!

Pablo: aaaahhhhh!

Maybe it's not such a lucky penny

After all, young lad.

I could've gotten the penny myself!

Poppycock!

Balderdash!

Pablo and uniqua: inventions are always the way!

The way to let my penny get away!

Don't worry, lad. We will find it.

Even if we have to go all the way

To the center of the earth.

We're almost there! Drill faster, professor!

Switching the drill to turbo speed!

Turbo speed?

Hold on, everyone!

(Cracking, drill whirs)

All: whoooaaa!

Aaahhhhhhh!

Pablo: amazing, professor!

Uniqua: absolutely amazing, professor!

My penny better be here.

(Gasps) look!

My penny!

Where?

Right there!

Where?

Right there.

By that dinosaur.

Oh sure. Yeah, by the dinosaur.

All: dinosaur?!

(Grunts)

Um, you've got an invention

That can pick up my penny from here, right?

To reach over a dinosaur's tail...

And pick up a penny.

Uniqua: we have...

Nothing.

Nothing?!

Not to worry, lad!

When you don't have the right invention

For the job...

You make the right invention

For the job.

Pablo: it is a friendly dinosaur, professor.

Uniqua: very friendly, professor!

And I got my lucky penny back!

(Stomach growls)

If he's so friendly, why's he growling?

That was my stomach.

Oh. Well in that case,

Anybody wanna come to my house
