Post by bunniefuu »

- Come on, deek.

Here you go, man.

There you go, deek.

Get him, deek! Get him!

Come on. One more.

Come on, deek.

Get him, deek! Get him!

One more. Come on. Come on.

All right!

- Hey, hector?

- Ooh, yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

- Whose wifi are you on now?

- I am on the last world

Of dino breaker,

A place where manny spamboni

Has never been.

- You mean the game king?

That's what he's calling himself

After winning

That gaming tournament

Last month.

- Not for long.

I'm taking him down.

- You always have to win.

You are so competitive.

- No! No, I'm not.

I'm not that competitive.

Look, I just like to compete.

Someone's got to lose,

And someone's got to win.

I like to win.

- Well, twitty, that

Golden t-rex finally

Learned some manners.

- Get him, deek! Get him!

- Golden t-rex?

He's about to finish the game.

I could lose my title!

Or I could just use one of

My trusty gadgets.

Heh heh.

- No. Hey! No!

- Ooh!

- Whoa.

- Ha ha ha!

- Who are you?

-

My name's deek,

Deek the dino breaker.

- From the game.

- Are you all right there, deek?

You look a little scared.

-

Scared?

Ahem. Me?

You're looking at a certified

Dino breaker, son.

I'm tough as nails.

I'm rougher than asphalt.

And I'm--

Aah! Aah! What's that?!

- Well, no, no.

Take it easy, man.

It's just a pigeon.

They're harmless.

- I want to go home!

- Hey, you guys!

-

Oh, oh, oh, come on, yeah!

Feel the power!

Feel the power!

Feel the power!

Yo! And plug it in!

It's electric,

Electric company!

Get connected!,

Electric company!

It's electric,

Electric company!

Get connected!, Electric

Company!

- Yo, yo, yo, yo!

The power we perfected

Is electrically

Connected - go, go...

-

So use it as directed

And expect to be respected

-

Just turn it on

And you will see

That you belong

In the company!

-

Feel the power!

Feel the power!

-

Oh, feel the power!

- Feel the power!

- Yo!

And plug it in...

-

Plug it in, everybody!

-

Electric company!

Electric company!

Electric company!

Electric company!

- Dino wrangler tech support.

Please hold.

- Take it easy, deek.

Just drink your cocoa.

- I'm sorry, miss. It looks

Mighty tasty, but I just can't.

I-i'm too upset.

- I don't get it, man.

Like, nobody can compete with

You in the game.

You take on t-rexes

And velociraptors.

What are you so scared of?

- Well, in the game, I have

A million lives.

Here I only have one. I--

I have no strategy around

These parts.

- The only strategy you need

Is to stick with us.

We got your back.

- Kind words, little lady,

But I won't feel safe

Till I'm home on the range

With twitty.

- What's a twitty?

- My trusty pterodactyl.

- Dino wrangler tech support.

Please hold.

- Oh, hey, hey! I--i'm on hold

With tech support. Ok.

Uh, they're going to be with us

Right away.

- Oh, this is slower

Than molasses. I give up!

- You can't give up.

Show a little perseverance.

What would happen if you gave up

On the range?

- Well, then the dinosaurs

Would eat the purple pineapples

And get mutant laser powers.

And that's just on

The first match.

- So what do you do?

- Me and twitty

Keep on keeping on

Till they're all rounded up.

- Right. You persevere until

The job gets done.

And that's what we're

Going to do.

- Yeah, but what if we can't?

W-what if I'm stuck

Here forever?

What if I never see twitty

Or the range again?!

What if!

What if I stay trapped here?

What if twitty's

All alone?

What if all those dinos run

Amok while I ain't home?

-

Hold up

Just a minute, deek

No need for you to fear

We can solve the problem

If you'll only persevere

- Persevere...

- Persevere,

Just keep tryin'

Persevere, make a plan

Find a solution

Believe that you can

Don't be discouraged

You'll be ok

Persevere till you find

Your way

-

Persevere, we're talking

Tough it out

Deek, don't get upset

-

Some problems take a while

To figure out

But you can bet

We don't care

How long it takes

We'll stay right by

Your side

-

Get you back there

On your ranch

To take old twitty for

A ride

- Just persevere - persevere...

- Persevere,

Just keep tryin'

Persevere, make a plan

Find a solution

Believe that you can

Don't be discouraged

You'll be ok

Persevere till you find

Your way

-

Perse-huh?

-

Persevere,

Just keep tryin'

Persevere, make a plan

Find a solution

Believe that you can

-

Believe that I can

-

Don't be discouraged

You'll be ok

-

I'll be ok!

Persevere till -

I find my way

- You find your way

Whoo!

-

- Put it on.

- Dino wrangler tech support.

This is nick.

- Hey, hey! Guys, guys,

I got someone!

I got someone!

Ok, he's about to tell us

What to do.

- I'll put a stop to this.

- What you need to do

Is have deek...

- Wait. What did he just say?

- I'm sorry. Would you like me

To repeat those instructions?

- No, thanks.

- Ok. Have a nice day. Good-bye.

- Oh, no! I was

Talking to shock!

- No, no!

- Sorry, guys.

- It's ok. Jessica,

Can you rewind that for us?

- I'll try.

- What you need to do

Is have deek...

- I'll take it from here.

- What's missing

From this picture?

- Um, vowels.

This definitely needs an "i."

"Hit escp"?

- Ooh! Try a silent "e."

- "Escape"!

- "Hit escape,

Then jump into the screen."

- So, deek, all you have

To do is wait for hector

To hit "escape"

And then jump into the screen.

- You're not

Going anywhere, deek.

- And then you're home free.

- Yee-haw!

Give me room, folks.

- Ooh! Ooh, doggies!

- What's going on?

- Well, I don't know.

I can't control my body.

It's like someone else's.

Whoo!

- Deek, deek. Deek?

Deek, deek,

Where are you going?

- I don't know! I can't stop.

- Hold on.

- Stop. Deek!

-

It goes

-

Oa, oa, oa

- What? -

It goes

Oa, oa, oa

-

It goes oa

Whoa, the sound

From my throat

Made my mind want to float

Like the bad little groan

From the mouth of a goat

Or the croak from a toad

When he takes a little soak

Grab your cup, make a toast

Take a bite of roast

Download the "oa"sound

And make the most

Of your goals

Because it goes

-

Oa, oa, oa

- What? -

It goes

Oa, oa, oa

-

It goes

Oa, oa, oa

- Uh-huh

-

It goes oa

-

Oa...oa...

Ttt

Ddd

Toad.

- Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

- Ggg. Goa...

Lll. Goal.

Ttt...sss...

Toast.

Kuh...

Lll...

Cloa...

Kuh.

Cloak.

- Ready. Set. Go!

- "Oat"?

- Yes. Oat.

- What are you talking about,

Bob? I don't see oats.

- Yes, but do you see goats?

- No, bob. There

Aren't any--goats?!

What do we do?

- Let's float.

- How are we going to float?

Whoa!

- Don't worry.

- Speedboat. Yeah!

We'll speedboat.

- I told you not to worry.

- Thank you, bob.

- Today on

"The big face faceoff,"

It's jessica versus manny.

- In this duel, I will use

The "a"sound.

- Aaa.

- And I will use the "o"sound.

- Ooo.

- Go ahead.

Take the first sh*t.

- I will catch you in my trap.

- Aaa. Yeah! Aaa.

- I can climb out

Through this hole in the top.

- Ooo.

- Oh, well, then I hope

You like bats.

- Aaa, aaa, aaa, aaa.

- Uhh. I don't.

But I do like

Flocks of seagulls.

- Ooo.

Ha ha!

- Nice. But I prefer a jet pack.

- Aaa, aaa, aaa, aaa.

- Well, what do you know?

My pet lobster

Loves jet packs, too.

- Ooo! Ooo!

- Aaa.

-

- So what's happened so far?

- I'm going to win

This video game.

- You sure love to compete.

- I love to compete, too.

I'll use this gadget

So I can b*at hector.

- I'm a video game

Character, and I'm not

In my video game anymore.

- Hey, you guys!

- What's the strategy for

Getting deek back into the game?

- I know. We'll sing

A song about how we

Need to keep trying.

We need to persevere.

- Yay! Persevere!

La la la!

- Wait.

What's a strategy again?

- A strategy is a careful

Plan we come up with to help

Us get what we want, like...

- We could call up

Tech support

And ask them for help.

- Or my strategy from before.

We could sing a song.

- Yay!

La la la

- Um, let's try

Hector's strategy.

- Hello. Tech support.

How may I help you?

- This gadget will mess up

The voice on the phone.

- - And this gadget will control deek.

- Help! - And this gadget is something

Clever I invented to spy on people.

My gadgets are the coolest

Machines ever.

They're all I need

To win the game. Heh heh!

- Ohh! - Man, that guy can run.

- Yeah. - We were right behind

Him. Where could he have gone?

- I don't know. He turned

The corner, and poof.

- Well, anybody got

A strategy to find him?

He has to be somewhere.

- Look! Oh! It's deek.

- What?

- Oh.

- Hang in there, deek.

Don't give up hope.

- Remember, it's all about

Perseverance.

- How did he get in there

Anyway?

- I'll tell you

How he got in there.

- Manny spamboni.

- That's king manny to you.

And, yes, I'm the one

Who penned in your precious

Little dino breaker.

- But why?

- Because as long

As he's up there...

He's not in the game.

- Wait. I see

Your twisted strategy.

You know I'll b*at the game.

That's why you trapped deek--

To keep me from b*ating you.

- That's cheating.

That's no way to compete.

- Yeah.

- Then why do you think

He has all those gadgets?

He can't win on his own.

- Poppycock! I'm certain

I can b*at you all at any game,

Even your own.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

- Prove it.

- So be it.

I challenge the electric company

To a duel.

If you win, I'll let your wimpy

Friend go.

But if I win...

- What?

- Hector must vow to never

Compete in a video game again.

So what do you say?

- Let the competition begin.

- Game on.

- It's

Hard

- Kuh

- It's

Soft

- Sss

-

The letter "c"

It's hard -

Kuh -

It's soft - sss

-

The letter "c"

I called a cab

It came right away

I got my camera out

To take a picture of his car

I got in, he drove fast

And then we stopped

I got out, took my coat

And I was standing

On the corner

I was approached by a...

Centipede

Ha ha.

I meant a centipede

He said he had a race car

To take me to outer space

And so I did

And I met some magical mice

I had to thank them twice

For a certificate

For a brand-new type

Of cereal

It's hard

-

Kuh

- It's

Soft

- Sss

-

The letter "c"

It's hard -

Kuh -

It's soft - sss

-

The letter "c"

It's hard

-

Kuh

- It's

Soft

- Sss

-

The letter "c"

- Wet cement?

I love fresh cement!

You can write stuff

In fresh cement.

- What are you doing?

I just bought that cement.

That was going to be

My nice new

Concrete sidewalk.

You ruined it.

Whoa!

- Concrete man.

-

There's two ways to see

Everything

My grandma used to say

And that rule applies

To what I'm singing

Here today

I'm talking about

The letter "c"

Come follow if you will

I learned this as a shorty

And it still

Gives me a thrill

Now, when the "c"is hard

It sounds just like a "k"

Makes me want to go:

"Kuh""kuh""kuh"

Now you say: "kuh"

"Kuh""kuh""kuh"

- Everybody, hey! Hey!

-

And when that "c"is soft

It sounds just like an "s"

- "Sss-sss",

"Sss-sss"

- Oh-oh, oh-oh

You can bet there are...

And it's always fine with me

Oh, there are...

And either way is cool

There are two ways to say

Now if a "c"comes

Before an "e", "i", or "y"

That is when you know to give

The softer "c"a try

Say...

-

Nice, yeah

Or...

-

Peace, yeah

-

Listen to me

And when that "c"comes before

An "l", "r", or "t"

You probably

Want to use the harder

Sounding kind of "c"

Say...

-

Clap, yeah

-

Or...

-

Crab, whoa

Whoa, whoa...

-

Come on and sing with me

-

Yeah

-

There are...

And it's always fine with me

Oh, there are...

And either way is cool

There are two ways to say

-

Kuh, sss,

Kuh, kuh, kuh, sss

-

Kuh, kuh, kuh, sss

Kuh, kuh, kuh, sss, sss

- Whoo! - Kuh,

Sss, kuh,

Kuh, kuh, sss

Kuh, kuh, kuh, sss, sss,

Sss, sss, kuh, kuh...

-

Oh, shock, I love

That b*at

Everything you b*at-box

Sounds so sweet

But can you see what I see?

You're using the sounds

Of hard and soft "c"

Kuh, as in

Cacophony or coal...

Was that a canary or a crow?

Soft "c"is also nice

At the end of words

Like rice or twice

It sounds like an "s",

But take my advice

Sometimes you need a soft "c"

To add that spice

- Kuh, kuh, kuh, kuh,

Sss, sss,

Sss, sss, sss, kuh...

-

And when the sounds

Work together

The circus is in town

They run circles

Around this ground

The other letters fall back

This is just a little

Hard "c"/soft "c"practice

- Sss!

- Ok. Here's how it goes.

I'll give you a phrase,

And you have minutes to

Figure out what I've said.

You ready?

- Let's do this.

- Ok. Here we go.

Ha ha ha!

- All right.

Here's what he said.

- We need a strategy.

- Yeah. We need a plan.

- First things first.

-

- Nice, nice. All right, guys.

Let's show this

Half-baked hack of a hacker

What we're made of.

- Remember, you only

Have minutes,

Which may as well be

A million minutes,

Because even if you had

All the time in the world,

You'd never be able to solve

A puzzle of such genius,

Such brilliance,

Such masterful mind-boggling

Diabolically twisted--

- Got it.

- You do?

-

- Correct.

-

- Yeah!

- Nice going!

- Awesome.

- All right, manny.

You know what this means.

- Yeah, yeah, I know.

- Oh! Hot dog! I'm free!

- See how that perseverance

Paid off!

- You electric company has

Sure got a way with words.

Come on, you guys!

-

- Yeah!

- Hi, josephine. Raising

Money for your school?

- Yes, mr. Creepy.

Would you like to buy a crab?

- I don't mean to be crabby,

But I already have a crab.

- How about a crocodile?

- I have crocodiles.

- You have everything! Ohh!

- I'll buy your scream.

- My scream? That's crazy.

- Here's $.

- One scream sold.

-

Ohh!

- If you're next to a quiet pond

And you listen really close

You might hear this.

This word starts with a "c."

And since it doesn't have

An "e,""i,"or "y"after it,

I know it's probably

The "kuh"sound.

So kuh-rrr. Krr.

And that's "oa,"

Which makes the oh sound.

So it's kroh-kuh.

Kroak-sss.

Croaks, like a frog. Ribbit!

- I'm annie.

And I have a plan to get

Everything I've ever wanted.

Want to know

How I'm going to do it?

Apostrophe-s.

Apostrophe-s is the best.

Say--say I want a puppy.

All I have to do

Is throw an apostrophe-s

At the end of my name,

And it becomes annie's puppy.

Oh! Aren't you cute?

Yes, you are. Ha ha!

And it's not just about puppies.

Now that I have

An apostrophe-s

At the end of my name,

Any word that comes

After it becomes mine,

Like annie's roller coaster.

Oh! I could do this all day.

Annie's castle.

Hey. I said "annie's castle,"

Not manny's.

Ahem. That's better.

How can you argue with

Apostrophe-s? You can't.

Apostrophe-s.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- What's with all the noise?

There's no need

To fight over your food.

Don't you know about apostrophe

And the letter "s"?

And this is amy's. See?

If you add an apostrophe-s

To the end of your name,

You know it's yours.

Apostrophe-s at the end

Shows possession.

Enjoy your meals, ladies.

-

- Hmm? "Cluck's."

Chickens are very sweet.

- I'm special agent jack bowzer.

I'm trying to keep

My sunny side up,

But this carton of eggs

Is about to explode.

And I can't cr*ck

The code to get out.

Help me read this.

Stan's son said

He will say something

About susan's breakfast.

- Joe grippo had

One incredible feature.

- You ready to be somebody?

You ready to compete?

- I want to be the champ.

- Well, then let's get to work!

Visualize your thumb pushing

Down on his thumb.

- Thumb w*r. Be thumbody.

- Well, I'm gonna miss

All y'all.

Maybe not you.

You're all set.

You finally can go home.

- Thank you, guys.

I know I couldn't have got

Back on my own.

I'm surely gonna miss

You all

You bet

A lesson

That I never will forget

I'll think of you all,

And I'll say
