Post by bunniefuu »

Monkey See Monkey Do

- Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Eeh, eeh, eeh, eeh.

Ooh, jumping Jupiter, it's you.

Can you guess what animal I'm pretending to be?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

(chuckles) Did you guess a chimpanzee?

You were right.

Say, do chimpanzees eat bananas?

I don't know.

But today we're going to learn all about them

with Dr. Arvid.

So come on, let's go monkey around. (chuckles)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Eeh, eeh, eeh.

♪ Here comes Dooley ♪

♪ From a planet far away ♪

♪ His home was way up in the sky ♪

♪ Where Dooley used to play ♪

♪ He's come from far beyond the stars ♪

♪ To make some brand new friends ♪

♪ So now it's time to learn and play ♪

♪ With Dooley and pals ♪

♪ Dooley Dooley ♪

♪ Dooley and pals ♪

♪ Yay Dooley ♪

♪ He made a friend out of you and me ♪

♪ Dooley and pals ♪

- [All] Yay

- A picnic.

- Yum.

- This looks great.

- Thanks, mom.

- You're welcome.

- Yum, yum.

- My aching axles. (chuckles)

Look everybody, bananas for the chimpanzees.

- Hey, is Dr. Arvid here yet?

I want to ask him if I can feed the chimp.

- What chimp are you talking about, Chris?

- Nick told me Dr. Arvid was bringing a chimpanzee over.

He said we could feed it and play with it.

(imitates monkey)

- Don't tell me you believe him.

- Chris believes everything Nick tells him.

- I do not.

- No chimpanzee?

Not even a little one?

- Dr. Arvid says it's better to leave wild animals

in their own homes.

- Yeah, so Dr. Arvid is leading us

on a Dooley-vision adventure instead.

We'll meet lots of chimpanzees.

- We can take care of these bananas for you.

- Oh, gross.

Nick, close your mouth when you eat.

- I'm just monkeying around, Maxx.

(imitates monkey)

- [Ashley] Chris, do you always have to copy what Nick does?

- It seems like we have a little case

of monkey see, monkey do here.

- Hmm?

Ooh, ooh, ooh?

Oh yes, of course.

It's just a case of monkey see and monkey, uh, ooh?

- Accessing data banks.

Hmm, oh, here it is.

Monkey see, monkey do.

That's when you copy what someone else is doing,

and usually something naughty.

(both snickering)

- That's right, Martie.

You and Dooley must think these little chimps

have terrible manners.

- Ooh, ooh, chips.

(Nick imitates monkey)

- [Ashley] You guys, stop it.

Hey, my new outfit.

- Oops, sorry, Ashley.

I was just-

- Just doing something dumb because Nick did it.

- I'm really sorry, Ashley.

- Kids, I know monkey see, monkey do is fun,

but you need to be careful

because, well, accidents can happen.

- Sorry, Ashley.

- Me, too.

I guess we got a little carried away.

- [Ashley] Yeah, no kidding.

I'm going home to change.

Maybe you guys should practice your manners.

- I really do have good manners, you know.

- Oh, melting meteors, Chris.

We know that.

- But it is important to practice them.

- Hey Zoom, I just learned a funny Earth song.

- Ooh, what is it, Cosmos?

- Five little monkeys jumping on the bed.

One fell down and bumped his head.

Mommy called the doctor, and the doctor said,

no more monkeys jumping on the bed.

(both laughing)

- That looks like fun.

- Mm hmm.

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed.

- [Both] One fell down and bumped his head.

Momma called the doctor, and the doctor said,

no more monkeys jumping on the bed.

- Speed up!

- [Both] Three little monkeys jumping on the bed.

One fell down and bumped his...

- (groans) Zoom, are you okay?

- You know Cosmos, bumping your head really isn't funny.

Why'd you get me bouncing like that?

- I didn't make you bounce.

I was bouncing, and you copied me.

Hmm, if I jumped off the moon, would you copy me?

- You could get really hurt jumping off the moon.

(slide whistle blows)

(air whooshes)

(pen sighs)

- Howdy Dooley do, all?

- [All] Hey, Mrs. Z.

- Oh my, we aren't having fun, are we?

- Dr. Arvid is supposed to come by,

and teach us all about chimpanzees.

- And now Ashley might not join us.

- Chris spilled lemonade all over her

when we were playing monkey see, monkey do.

- Yeah, Ashley's probably mad.

- You started it, Nick.

I was just doing what you did.

- Nick, Chris is younger than you.

He looks up to you.

It's up to you to be a good example.

- Yeah, I guess.

- And Chris, it's important to think for yourself.

Do what's right for you, not someone else.

- I guess you're right, Mrs. Z.

- That must be why today's letter is M for manners.

- And M is for monkey.

- M is for Maxx.

- And M is for ...

- [All] Martie!

- No, actually I was thinking of macaroni. (laughs)

- (chuckles) And M is for mind your manners.

- And M is for mirror.

Copying someone in monkey see, monkey do

is like being their reflection in a mirror.

- Cosmic comets, Mrs. Z.

Why don't we all go mirror dancing?

That should cheer everyone up.

- Great idea, Dooley.

Ooh, this picture from Ashlynn is so colorful.

Susan sent in a picture of me.

I really like this one.

This picture is truly Dooley beautiful.

It's from Kasey.

These are all Dooley-rific.

Thanks, picture pals.

Hey kids, learning our manners can be a lot of fun.

Are you ready to practice with us?

Take a look at this.

(whimsical flute music)

(bell dings)

- Hey, everybody.

- Hi, guys.

- Spinning space dust, it's Ashley and Dr. Arvid.

- Hi!

- [Nick And Chris] Hey, Dr. Arvid.

Hey, Ashley.

- I thought you were too mad to come back, Ashley.

I'm sorry I spilled lemonade on you.

- Oh, that's okay.

I was only mad for a little while.

- Ashley told me about the monkey see, monkey do game.

- Yeah, we got a little carried away copying each other.

- But did you know some animals

like chimpanzees really do copy each other?

- Truly Dooley, Dr. Arvid?

- Why did the blue cat...

Uh, I mean, why do they do that?

- Well, chimp babies learn just like human babies do,

and they watch their mom and dad,

who teach them how to do things.

- So monkey see, monkey do can be a good thing, too?

- Oh, you bet.

Would you like me to show you some chimps

on the Dooley-vision?

- [Martie] Oh, yes. (chuckles)

I'm ready for some monkey business.

- Is the Dooley-vision all set, Martie?

- You bet your bananas.

- Woo hoo!

Cosmic comets, we're going on an adventure.

Chimps

(upbeat marching band music)

♪ We're going on an adventure ♪

♪ Who knows where we will be ♪

♪ We're going on an adventure ♪

♪ Who knows what we will see ♪

♪ That's the part that's best of all ♪

♪ I can hardly wait ♪

♪ We're going on an adventure ♪

♪ So don't be late ♪

- Woo hoo!

- As you can see, chimp babies learn from their parents

just like human babies.

Chimps love to eat termites

by catching them on twigs and sticks.

When the termites grab the twig,

she pulls it out and eats them.

After watching his mom,

a young chimp tries to catch his own lunch.

Nuts are a favorite treat,

but chimps need to know how to crack them.

A baby watches his mom,

who uses a piece of wood to break the nut.

This youngster will need to practice to get good

at cracking nuts, just like humans practice things.

- Cosmic comets, that was Dooley-rific, Dr. Arvid.

- I didn't know chimps were so much like us.

- Or are we like them?

- Either way, they're an awful lot of fun to watch.

(chuckles)

- Thanks for showing us all about chimpanzees, Dr. Arvid.

- My pleasure, Dooley.

Well look, I better get back to the rest of the animals,

so I guess I'll see you guys later.

- [All] Bye, Dr. Arvid.

- Thanks. - Come again.

- See you soon.

- Gravity gravy, chimpanzees are so interesting.

Did you know that baby chimps learn

by copying their parents?

Well, just like you.

Hmm, your earth is so wonderful.

- Zoom, let's play five little monkeys jumping on the bed.

- No, uh uh, Cosmos.

My head hurts.

- Oh come on, Zoom, just a short game.

Just two little monkeys jumping on the bed.

- No, I've learned my lesson.

I'm not gonna bounce around just because you are.

- No little monkeys jumping on the bed?

- Nope, sorry, buddy.

- Oh, okay.

How about two little monkeys swinging in the trees?

We could pretend.

- What if we swing into one another?

I could get hurt.

- Fizzle flats.

I thought we were going to have as much fun

as a barrel full of monkeys.

But this is more like a barrel full of bananas.

Rotten bananas.

- Oh, really?

Well, why don't you just monkey around by yourself?

- But, but Zoom...

But it's no fun playing monkey all by yourself.

(robot whooshes)

(robot beeping)

(cymbals crash)

(bouncy music)

- Today's fun facts are about

being the best that you can be.

- Our first president, George Washington,

chopped down a cherry tree,

and never lied about doing it,

even though he knew it was wrong.

- A man named Beethoven wrote music while he was deaf.

- Hey kids, it's time for some Dooley-cise.

Get ready to do the Dooley. (chuckles)

Dooley

so come on, stand up.

(Nick imitates monkey)

- [Dooley] Swinging satellites, Nick.

You look just like one

of the chimpanzees Dr. Arvid showed us.

- Oh boy, more monkey see, monkey do.

- It's okay, mom.

This will be a cool game.

Watch.

Your turn, Chris.

Monkey see, monkey do.

- I don't think so, Nick.

I'm not used to going upside down.

- But it's easy.

(Ashley imitates monkey)

- [Martie] Whoa, faster than a speeding chimpanzee.

- Come on, Chris, try your best.

If I can do it, you can do it.

- I'm scared, and I don't want to do it

just because you do.

- [Mom] Hey, now that's thinking for yourself, Chris.

Good for you.

- But if you do want to try going upside down,

we'll help you.

- Yeah, I'll yelp.

Uh, I mean, I'll help.

- We won't let you fall, I promise.

- Promise?

- [Nick] Promise.

- Go for it.

- We'll hold you.

- Come on, hold on there.

- Now put your one leg over the bar,

and then your other one.

Good job.

- I did it!

I'm hanging like a chimp.

(Nick imitates monkey)

- Great job.

- Well I guess this game of monkey see, monkey do

taught Chris something new.

- Yeah, I never thought I could do that.

- Hmm, so copying our friends can be cosmically cool

if it helps us be the best that we can be.

- Five little monkeys jumping on the bed.

One fell off and...

Oh, Zoom.

I thought you didn't want to play monkey see, monkey do.

- Well, Cosmos, I was thinking that no monkeying around ever

is kind of dull.

- That's what I say.

- So you stay way over there,

and we can be safe little monkeys.

Copy me, okay?

- Okay.

Monkey see, monkey do.

- Five little monkeys jumping on the bed.

One fell off and bumped his head.

(both laughing)

(both imitating monkeys)

- Daily Dooley log entry.

Hi, everybody.

It's me, Dooley.

Ever since my ship landed here on earth,

I've learned lots about your planet.

Today I learned taking care is important

when you're playing monkey see, monkey do.

Ashley got upset when her friends' monkey business

got out of control.

- I'm going home to change.

Maybe you guys should practice your manners.

- [Dooley] Mrs. Z brought us the letter M,

and showed us that mirror dancing is a safe

and fun way to copy one another.

They learn from each other, just like human beings.

With all of us helping, Chris copied Nick,

and learned something to be proud of.

we shared some Dooley-rific picture pals.
