01x10 - Under Duck / All Fall Down

Post by bunniefuu »

MAN: ♪ Well, it's a sunny day

♪ I feel brand new

♪ There's about a million things that I could do ♪

♪ Whoa, would you like to...

♪ Do them, too?

♪ Yeah

♪ Well, it's a big wide world

♪ And it's waiting for me and you. ♪

[clapping to music]

♪ Let's look around

♪ What will we see?

♪ Round every corner, a discovery ♪

♪ Whoa, there's no place I'd... ♪

♪ Rather be

♪ Oh, yeah

♪ Well, it's a big wide world

♪ And it's waiting

♪ For me and you.

NARRATOR: This is a duck.

This is a fish.

A duck has feathers and a tail.

Ta-dah!

NARRATOR: Thank you, Quack.

That's very nice.

A fish also has a tail.

He uses it-- along with his fins--

to help him swim.

Oh, well, this one's a bit of a show-off!

Since fish live under the water and ducks live on top,

they don't usually run into each other.

[quacking]

NARRATOR: But let's see what happens when they do.

QUACK: ♪ There is nothing like a duck

♪ You can look but you won't have any luck ♪

♪ There's not a living animal anywhere you'll see ♪

♪ Better than a duck

♪ That's a duck like me.

La-du, yahoo.

[quacks]

[Quack quacking and laughing]

What is that thing?

[gasps]

[screams]

Hey, Peep.

The wind messed up your piles.

PEEP: Wha...?

[Quack yelling]

What's wrong?

There's something cold and wet in my pond!

Yeah.

It's called "water."

Besides that.

Come on.

Stay there, in case I need you.

[Quack gurgling underwater]

Hmm, it must have gone away.

Where did you see it?

I didn't see it; I felt it.

I was floating along, like this.

♪ There's nothing... dum de do, duck ♪

♪ You can look, but... de dum... any luck. ♪

Like that, and then...

[yells]

Scared!

[Quack still talking above water]

Then suddenly, out of nowhere...

[yells]

There it is again!

[Chirp straining]

Why don't you stick your head in the pond

and see what it is?

QUACK: Huh?

Hmm...

Hmm.

Huh?

Who are you?

And what are you doing in my pond?

Hi! I'm your neighbor.

I'm a fish.

We're not neighbors.

This pond belongs to me.

You have to go.

Bye-bye.

Go away.

You're funny.

See you, neighbor.

Hmph!

[gasping for breath]

What is it?

A fish!

There's a fish in my pond!

Where's he going?

Ah, hmm, not bad, hmm, very, mm-hmm... yeah.

Hello!

Howdy, neighbor.

I found a beautiful new home for you--

a very sunny, lovely elm tree.

Really quite lovely, I think.

I'm a fish.

I can't live in a tree.

I need water.

Hmm.

Don't go away.

[gasping for air]

Where's he going now?

He'll be back.

Here's your new home.

Climb in.

Bring all the water you need.

Bring the family.

I can't live in a cup.

I need food.

And room to swim.

See?

Hey, come back here!

[gasps]

Huh?

What's going on down here?

Who are you?

We live down here.

It's great.

Lots of room,

plenty of food.

I'd recognize that bottom anywhere.

Huh?

Hey, this end's got a face!

[yells]

Neighbors,

this is a duck.

Ooh... duck.

Duck?

I knew he wasn't a fish!

QUACK: Didn't you hear me?

This is my pond!

You have to...

[Quack gasps for air]

Go!

I can't live with all of you.

But we've always been here.

Um... but I didn't know that.

Excuse me.

We would like to learn about ducks.

Could you teach us?

I've been waiting my whole life

for someone to ask me that.

Are you sure?

There's a lot to learn.

We've been watching you from afar, and below,

for so long.

We're ready.

Okay.

The first thing you need to know is that ducks...

[Quack gasping for air]

are the greatest animal of all.

[oohing]

That's right.

We have big webbed feet and blue feathers.

Yes.

We're also kind, and helpful.

[Quack gulping air]

And handsome.

[ahhing]

[clearing throat]

I hate to interrupt,

but what we really need to do right now

is find another place to live.

We're bothering the duck,

and he wants us to leave.

Leave? Oh, no!

What about duck lessons? How terrible!

We wanted to learn about ducks.

[snail sniffling]

Well, hold on.

Maybe there's room here for all of us.

It's clear that I have a lot of things to teach you.

That's right!

You teach us about ducks,

and we'll teach you about fish.

Um... uh, okay.

But ducks first.

Quack's been gone a long time.

I hope he's okay.

[gasps for air]

♪ There's nothing like a duck... ♪

FISH: ♪Who lives with fish!♪

♪ You can look, but you won't have any luck... ♪

♪Oh, no!♪

NARRATOR: And that's our lesson for today.

Ducks and fish may be very different,

but they both love to sing.

Every day I see something new that amazes me.

[sighs]

[Quack laughing]

♪ There's not a living animal anywhere you'll see ♪

♪Oh, no!♪

♪ Better than a duck

♪Who lives with fish!♪

♪ Like me!

Nice job, everyone.

Good job in the back.

Boy, you guys are really picking it up.

GIRL: Oliver's mother took us to a park.

Hey, look.

GIRL: We decided to find nature.

BOY: This is growing through the sidewalk.

GIRL: And see what kind of things were living around the playground.

There's a ant.

GIRL: The ant felt like it was tickling me.

I see white stuff on the leaves.

WOMAN: What is it?

Bird poop.

GIRL: So if there's bird poop, there must be birds.

We looked for birds, but we did not see any.

I found two different leaves.

This kind-- it always has three attached to one leaf.

And this one has lots of flowers on it.

Up there!

Oh, my gosh, look at that!

GIRL: And then, Emma found a snail.

It was kind of medium-biggish type.

BOY: Let's see if there's any more.

GIRL: We found all different sizes.

We found big, we found middle, we found teeny.

We found all different sizes.

Here's one of the sizes.

This is one little playground

and we're finding lots of stuff that people don't even notice:

animals and plants and weeds and berries and seed pods

and they all live here together like in a big family.

Try looking around a place

to see what living things you can find.

NARRATOR: Most animals love the fall.

It's a time to collect nuts,

grow fur...

[gags]

[coughing]

[animals laughing]

NARRATOR: And kick a lot of leaves.

[all shouting with glee]

[all laughing]

[muffled squeaking]

Hmm?

Hey!

[soft squeaking]

Who's there?

[muffled squeaks]

I can't hear you.

You have to speak louder!

Squeak, it's you.

What are you doing under all these leaves?

Oh, you know-- just enjoying the view.

In point of fact, I'm waiting to be rescued!

Really?

Yes.

I need somebody big to remove these leaves from my house.

Hey, I'm big.

I could rescue you.

Quack! Chirp! Come here!

[all laughing]

Okay, there we go.

Nice work, everyone.

Yup, all done there.

That's right, over there-- all of them.

[shudders]

Leaves.

But don't you think they're pretty?

I wouldn't mind having some around my can.

Take as many as you like.

But if you're smart, you'll go home and stay there

before things get worse.

Uh, Squeak?

What do you mean, "get worse"?

Don't you see?

Haven't you noticed?

Things are falling down all over the place--

leaves, apples, nuts.

Next thing you know, the sun will be falling, or the moon.

The whole sky, even!

[from below]: Better hurry, unless you want to get smushed.

QUACK: Do you think there's anything to it?

To what?

To the sun falling down

or the sky.

I could handle the sun, but the whole sky--

that would hurt.

I don't think it could happen.

I'm not even sure Squeak was right.

Sure, leaves fall down,

but I haven't noticed anything else.

PEEP: Hey, did you see that?

One of my feathers got loose

and it fell down.

Wow.

[all yell]

Uh...

Did we never notice this before--

that things are falling down?

Is that why they call it "fall"?

ALL: Run!!

[panting]: Where are we going?

I don't know.

Somewhere safe.

[panting]: Where's that?

Someplace with a roof.

Hey, look!

ALL: Huh?

[sighs of relief]

Ah, see?

It's going up.

I knew that mouse was wrong.

[pop]

[all scream]

NARRATOR: That was quite enough for one day.

Chirp, Quack and Peep decided to head for home

and stay there until it was safe.

There was one small problem with this plan.

Peep was the only one with a roof.

QUACK: Got room for a duck?

CHIRP: I was first!

No, you weren't!

We've tried this before, remember?

We can't all fit inside.

Come on, Peep.

I think there might be room

if you squeeze in beside me.

[Chirp and Peep straining, Quack groaning]

This is silly.

I'm going.

CHIRP: Peep, come back.

I'll make Quack move some more.

Come back!

NARRATOR: Peep was determined to prove

that the worldissafe for chickens, birds and ducks.

But how he was going to prove it, Peep didn't know.

How could he be sure that the sun, the moon or the stars

wouldn't come crashing down?

Whoa.

Oh! Ah!

Hello?

Did somebody say something?

It's only me, Newton.

Sorry to disturb you.

Oh, no bother, no bother.

What a beautiful day.

Simply glorious.

[startles]

Mmm.

Can I ask you something, Newton?

How come it doesn't bother you,

all these apples falling down?

I don't know.

Just used to it, I guess.

But aren't you afraid?

If apples can fall,

then why doesn't the tree fall?

Or the sky?

Or the sun?

That's a good question.

I think trees do fall down sometimes, but not very often.

As for the sun or the sky--

well, I've been here for a long time

and I've never seen

even the smallest piece of sky on the ground.

Whoa!

So you think it's safe to be outside?

Even in the fall?

I do.

Take it from a turtle.

NARRATOR: Newton had given Peep a lot to ponder.

PEEP: Hmm.

NARRATOR: And ponder Peep did.

He pondered all the way back to his can.

Peep-- thank goodness you're okay.

I am.

And I think we're all going to be okay.

I ran into Newton and he said...

Never mind about Newton.

I'm stuck with a duck breathing on me.

Help!

Okay, hold on.

[Quack and Chirp grunting]

[screaming]

[Quack and Chirp scream, grunt and groan]

PEEP: It worked!

Okay, so tell us about Newton.

Are you sure we're safe?

Well, Newton said that trees fall down sometimes,

but not very often, and he said that...

NARRATOR: Peep told them everything Newton had said--

how little things fall down all the time

and mostly you don't even notice,

and how the sun and the sky don't fall at all.

They stay right where they are.

[all sigh tiredly]

QUACK: Well, that settles it.

I'm never listening to a mouse again.

Squeak!

Maybe we should go tell her it's okay...

[squeaking]

Squeak!

What are you doing?

I thought you were afraid to come out.

Oh, right.

You know, Peep, Iama worrywart,

especially on an empty stomach.

[chomping]

Mmm... lovely.

But why are you just standing there?

You should be looking for nuts.

If you think fall is bad,

wait till you see winter.

Snow, ice, sleet.

[shivers]

It's a wonder anything survives.

Huh? Huh? Hmm?

What on earth is "winter"?

[wind whistles]

[all giggling]

GIRL: Keenan was playing badminton and he hit the birdie.

Keenan was going to see how the birdie fell.

It flipped over, I think.

It was like this, and then it went like that.

GIRL: I dropped a piece of yellow paper.

It kind of went like...

I folded it up to see how it drops.

It dropped pretty much straightly down.

It didn't do like this.

Yeah, I know.

GIRL: Emma dropped down a plastic bag.

Wow, it kind of floated down like a parachute.

Lookit-- I found a parachute guy.

Yeah, I want to see how it drops.

Cool!

It floated down.

It landed like a jellyfish.

I just put the tape on the cardboard

and I taped it to the bag.

It went down fast.

ALL: Three... two... one.

GIRL: See what happens when you drop things.
