- Okay, so here are
your five words.
Wicked.
If someone is wicked,
they are not good at all.
They're actually really mean
and bad, like a wicked witch.
Courageous.
Courageous means
really, really brave.
Script.
A script is a play or movie
written down on paper.
Predictable.
When something is predictable,
it means it isn't surprising.
You could have guessed
it would happen.
Collaborate.
When you collaborate,
you work together.
All right, so we have
wicked, courageous,
script, predictable,
and collaborate.
Watch out for these
words in today's show.
(dramatic music)
(screaming)
(loud thudding)
(loud crash)
- And now your itsy-bitsy,
teeny little planet
belongs to me!
(laughs)
- Not so fast, Dalthar.
- Oh, well, if it
isn't Garcador, the
courageous warrior.
- They call me courageous
because I'm brave enough
to stand up to you,
and I will not let you pick on
this little planet any longer!
- That's what you think.
(high-pitched buzz)
(screams)
- What, what did you do?!
- It's my new
invention, the itch ray.
And while you're
busy scratching,
I'll give you a space noogie!
- What?
(groans)
(laughs)
- Cut!
- What? No good?
- The scene was great.
Up until the end.
Manny, you didn't say
the line in the script.
The script says, "And while
you're busy scratching,
"I'll take over the planet."
- Yeah, yeah, and the
whole noogie thing?
Unnecessary!
- It's called acting, PJ.
And if I say my
character would noogie,
then noogie he would.
- Well, I'm the director,
and I say noogie he wouldn't.
- Ha!
- Can we try it once
how it's written in the script?
- You know what, if you
can't respect my true genius,
I don't think this
is going to work out.
- Manny--
- I can't work
under these conditions.
I quit!
- Now what are we gonna do?
- Hey, you guys!
Oh
Oh
Come on, yeah
Feel the power,

(upbeat rock music)
- Manny is just so
good at acting wicked.
Those mean eyes,
that evil laugh.
Oh, he is the perfect bad guy.
- That's true, that's true,
but he's so difficult.
Is he always like that?
- Oh, yeah.
- Yup.
- Really?
I knew this guy back
at home, same way.
He didn't know how
to collaborate.
He couldn't work with
any other people.
- Yep, that's Manny.
- We'll just have to find
somebody else to do the part.
But not me 'cause I'm
loving working these aliens.
(chuckles)
- What about you, cuz?
Yeah, show me wicked, all right?
Be as mean as you
could possibly be.
- I have a hard time
pretending to be wicked.
I'm just a nice guy.
- Here.
Pick up that fork and tell
it you're gonna destroy it.
And then laugh in a wicked way.
Right? Okay.
- All right, I'll try.
I'm gonna destroy you, fork.
Ha ha!
Ha ha.
See? Not so wicked.
- Are you kidding me?
Look at that fork!
It is terrified!
- Come on--
- No, no, no.
We can make it work.
- But who's gonna
work the camera?
- Oh.
- Mm-hm, mm-hm.
- I don't know, guys.
- [Jessica] It's
just a little baggy.
- Look, man, I think
it looks good on you.
- So, Keith, I made some
changes to the script,
and you just have one
line in the next scene.
- You're gonna throw a
word ball, aren't you?
(PJ laughs)
I love those things,
man, love 'em!
(chuckles)
- Perhaps a little more
itch will change your mind.
- Okay, let's sh**t this!
- Okay.
- [Lisa] All right,
everybody, back to one.
- All right, man, here we go.
- [Lisa] And let's settle.
And action!
(screaming)
- Come on, guys, get in here.
I promise you'll be safe.
Come on, come on, come on.
There you go.
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.
Okay, all right.
Are we good? Okay.
(beeping)
There you go.
And lock it.
Dalthar, you will never get them
'cause I will never give you
the code to this fortress!
- Perhaps a little more
itch will change your mind.
- And cut!
(Paul growls)
Okay, Keith, that's close,
but we're gonna have to get you
to get a little more wicked.
- Mm-hm.
- All right.
We're gonna just keep
trying it till we get it.
Roll camera.
- Mm-hm.
- Take two.
- Perhaps a little more
itch will change your mind.
- Okay, meaner!
- Perhaps a little more
itch will change your mind.
- More wicked!
- Perhaps a little more
itch will change your mind.
- Try it differently.
- Perhaps a little more itch
will change your mind.
- The way you didn't do it.
Like different.
- Take .
- Grr!
- Okay, wait, you're a tiger!
(groans)
- You're a mean tiger.
- Rah!
(roars)
- Ah!
Ah!
- Go!
- Take .
- Perhaps a little more
itch will change your mind.
- No smile. Don't smile.
Please don't smile.
- Okay, okay.
This is the one.
It's gonna be it.
- Take .
- Perhaps a little more
wicked will make you itch.
Yes!
That was it!
- Cut.
(Paul grunts)
Better.
It's getting better.
(Paul grunts)
- I don't think this is for me.
I could play the good guy,
but I really just don't
have wicked in me.
Lisa, I really think
you're better off
putting up with Manny.
- I think you're right, Keith.
You can go back to
working the camera.
Thanks, Paul.
- [Paul] Mm-hm.
- I'll go look for Manny.
- What?!
No, no, no!
Mr. Manny Can't
Collaborate Spamboni.
- He is the best Dalthar
in the neighborhood.
- True, but do you
think he's available?
- [Lisa] Mm.
- Perhaps a little more
itch will change your mind.
I'm in.
- It'll be fine.
I hope.
(upbeat music)
- Hey, yo, short i.
- Me?
- Come on, raise your fist up.
Fist
Come on, raise your fist up
Fist
Come on, raise your fist up
Fist
Come on, raise your fist

And we're gonna list all
the different reasons why
Short I still, the
letter that will
Bring you a smile and
help you get your fill
'Cause without that
eh, we never could win
We simply have a W N
And that wouldn't get us
to the finish, my friend
Ha, to the finish, my friend
Come and raise your fist up
Fist
Come on, raise your fists
Raise your fists
Come on, raise your fist up
Fist
Come on, raise you fist
Raise your fist real fast

(loud bubbling)
Dishwasher!
Dishwasher!
(loud clunk)
(loud crash)
- Are you afraid of it?
If not, you should be.
It is everywhere.
It is in your baseball mitt.
It is in your first aid kit.
(siren wailing)
It is in your banana split.
(gasps)
It is even in your babysitter.
Oh, oh, yeah.
You can try to change it, like
you can make the it into at,
so you get babysatter.
But I don't know what that is
and I don't think I want to.
(gasps)
Oh.
Face it.
You can't quit it.
So that's it.
Get it?
I got it, and I
can't get rid of it.
Everybody knows about
words with the eh sound
Like fish and like ship
Let's kick it up a bit
Combine these words
with other words, yes
Let me tell you a story now
There once was a catfish
That lived in a fishbowl
with some other fish
A goldfish and a starfish
by the name of Larry
And crazy Larry, he
would always hang out
By this shipwreck in
the colorful rocks
That were at the bottom
of the fishbowl, yes
And inside of the shipwreck
was a treasure chest
And every time the
starfish opened it
It would reveal a whole
bunch of friendship
A magical power that held
all the fish together
Together forever, yeah
Short I
- [Girl] So what's
happened so far?
- [Boy] I am the wicked Dalthar.
I am mean, nasty, up to no good.
Well, I am the
courageous Garcador.
Not just brave, not
just super brave,
so super-duper brave
that I am courageous.
Well, I am wicked, so I'm
giving you a space noogie.
- [Girl] Cut, that's
not in the script.
- I quit.
- Oh, no!
Hey, you guys!
Keith, you have to play
the wicked character.
- [Boy] But I'm
not right for it.
I'm more of a good guy.
- [Girl] You'll be great.
Try to be wicked.
- I am the wicked Dalthar.
(crickets chirping)
- [Girl] I think we need Manny.
- [Boy] What we need is
someone who will collaborate.
Manny is always trying
to boss people around.
I'm in charge.
When we collaborate, we work
together and share ideas.
Collaborate, collaborate
If we collaborate, the
movie will be great
But I'm ready to help
if it's not too late
- Okay, welcome
back, Manny Spamboni.
sh**ting the rehearsal.
Everyone ready?
On your mark.
All right, and action.
(hissing)
(screams)
(groaning)
(laughs)
- Make it stop!
- I have in my hand the only
cream that can stop the itch.
Give me the code,
and it's yours.
- Please!
Please, I need it!
- Aw, not so courageous
anymore, are you?
(laughs)
- That's what you think!
(screams)
(grunts)
- Cut!
(yelps)
Cut.
- Cut?
Manny, you can't say cut.
You're not the director.
- Well, I had to do something.
I mean, the ending
is so predictable.
You know exactly
what's going to happen.
The courageous Garcador is
gonna defeat the wicked invader,
and then everyone ends
up happily ever after.
Pardon me while I yawn.
(yawns)
- Manny, you know, I really--
- I'm not done.
(yawns)
There.
- Everybody take five.
- Thank you.
- Hey, PJ, do you think
the ending is predictable?
- It's predictable, but like
in a good way, in a good way,
'cause everyone wants to
see Garcador defeat Dalthar.
- Do they, PJ?
Do they really?
- You know, I don't
think it's a bad ending,
but I don't want it
to be predictable.
Maybe we can come up
with something better,
something unexpected.
- Yeah, that would be great
if Spamboni here
can collaborate.
- What do you say, Manny?
Do you wanna work
together with us on this?
- I invented collaborating.
- Good.
- Okay, Manny.
How do you see the story?
- Okay, everyone
knows that Dalthar
is the smartest person around,
so I think it's baloney
that he gets outsmarted.
- Dude, are you kidding me?
Garcador is the hero, all right?
Dalthar is the villain.
Garcador has to defeat him,
no ifs, ands, or buts, or--
- Predictable.
- Wait.
What if something happens
to change Dalthar?
- So that I, I mean, he doesn't
end up wicked in the end?
- Huh?
- Yeah.
You'd show his sweet
sensitive side.
- So then the film is about
the growth of Dalthar.
- Now what is it that makes
Dalthar stop being wicked?
- [Paul] Hmm.

- Aw, thanks, PJ.
Well, it really helped to
collaborate with you guys.
- Yeah, no doubt.
Um, does Manny like it?
- Oh.
- Oh.
- [Both] He loves it.
- Am I truly this wicked?
- [Paul] Nuh-uh.
Nuh-uh.

(Paul sobbing)

Let's make magic.
(squeaking)
Give me the code, and
the cream is yours.
- Fine, man!
The code is --
- Wait!
Let me get a pen!
- Okay.
Hurry up, man.
I'm gonna scratch my skin off.
(hissing)
- Oh, this isn't a pen.
(screaming)
- The cream!
Gimme it, gimme it!
- Oh, me first!
- No! Gimme!
(yelps)
(gentle music)
(loud splat)
- Our only hope of
being itch-free.
- Gone.
Gone forever!
- Oh, we are hopeless, Garcador.
We are hopeless!
No wonder no one wants
to hang out with me!
Lonely are the wicked, Garcador!
Lonely are the wicked!

No, we're just happy, but

- Can anybody stop the
blob who likes to blab?!
- How ya doing, some
weather we're having, huh?
Reminds me--
- A cop used his cap
to try to quiet the blob.
- Nice cap, cop.
I prefer top hats personally--
- [Newscaster] A boxer tried
to do the job with a jab.
- You know, I think I
met your cousin once--
- But the blob kept
blabbing until finally,
the blob took a nop!
- A nop?
Funny word, never heard--
- I meant a nap!
- Oh.
(snores)
- [Announcer] Today on
The Big Face Face Off,
it's Jessica versus Manny.
- In this duel, I
will use the ah sound.
- And I will use the aw sound.
Go ahead, take the first sh*t.
- I will catch you in my trap!
- [Girl] Ah, yeah!
- I can climb out through
this hole in the top.
- [Girl] Oh!
- Oh, well, then I
hope you like bats.
(screeching)
- Ugh, I don't!
But I do like
flocks of seagulls.
- [Girl] Oh!
(girl laughs)
- Nice, but I prefer a jet pack.
- Well, what do you know,
my pet lobster
loves jet packs too.
- [Girl] Oh!
(loud thud)
(yelps)
(loud crash)
- Rats!
- [Girl] Ah.
(chuckles)
- I'd like a pet, please.
- Uh, oh, how about a clam?
- A clam?
Maybe.
I really want something
without a shell, though.
- Okay.
Uh, ooh!
How about a gnat.
It buzzes.
- It's too small.
I want something I
can run around with.
- Right, uh, oh, I've
got just the thing!
Huh? There.
How about a hamburger?
- A hamburger?
What am I gonna do with
a hamburger for a pet?
It doesn't even move.
- Go fetch.

- I'm special agent Jack Bowser.
Not only am I stuck
in this cheesy place,
it's about to explode,
and I can't cr*ck
the code to get out.
Help me read this.
They both think
that cheese stinks.
No cheese for them.
They both think
that cheese stinks.
No cheese for them.
Woo-hoo!
And off the doormat
And it feels great
And he's not spying

Directed by Lisa Heffenbacher.
- Aw, thanks, guys.
Are you all happy?
- Yeah, it was amazing.
- Oh, it was amazing.
- Lisa, it was great.
- Hold it, hold it, hold it!
- [Paul] Hm?
- Starring PJ Watson
and Manny Spamboni?
I thought it was starring
Manny Spamboni and PJ Watson?
- What difference
does it make, man?
- My name should come first.
Clearly, I was the
star of the film.
It is all about my
heartbreaking change
from being wicked to being good.
Lisa, you will be
hearing from my agent,
who just happens
to be my mother.
- Well, that was
kind of predictable.
- Yeah, but I mean, come on,
you can't expect him to
collaborate forever, can you?
(chuckles)
- Mm-hm.
- It was good while it lasted.
- [PJ] Monkey, popcorn.
(Paul grunts)
Yo, play the movie, dude.
- [Keith] All right.
(cheering)
- [PJ] Encore!
- What if I told you you
can make your own video?
Go online to pbskidsgo.org
and you can take clips from
the show, make your own video,
music video, or even a video
about me, Manny Spamboni.
Now go, so I can watch it.
(laughs)
The time is now,
the day is here
The rhythm that you're
feeling, the music in your ear
The charge is electric,

Plug it in, plug it in
It's what we do at

Inviting all of you to
all the possibilities
Learning to write

Proud and you

Electric company is in town
(cheering)
- [PJ] I read the new script.
I love it.
And I loved the...
(laughs)
- [Director] Okay, reset.
- Lonely goes to wicked.
- You have a line
with the hopeless.
- No.
No, I said that already.
- Oh, I not paying attention.
My bad.
- Perhaps a little more
itch will change your mind.
- Excuse me?
(beatboxing)
