03x57 - Talking to Yourself

[bunniefuu]

(gallactic music)

- Hoobledoop, Tiddlypeeps!

I'm Hubba Hubba talking

to you from Hoobland,

and I'm about to send

four of my favorite

Hoobs down to Earth

to find out all about

you for my great Hoobapaedia.

Here they come!

(Bright spring music)

(Birds chirping)

- Ah, yep. Hoobygalooby!

What a hoobacious view.

Tula and Groove are

going to love this.

Oh, yes!

- Look at this view.

I see a mountain.

(laughing)

- I see a mountain, too.

- Hoobygalooby. We're in

between two mountains.

What a lovely valley this is.

(sighs)

- Tula, Groove, come and

look at this lovely view.

Hoobledoop, Tula?

Hoobledoop, Groove?

(Birds chirping)

I said, Hoobledoop!

- [Echo] Hoobledoop! Hoobledoop!

- Hoobygalooby! There's

no need to shout.

(upbeat music)

I said there's no need to shout.

- Hoobledoop, Iver.

Shout about what?

- Well, didn't you just

shout hoobledoop to me?

- No.

- What? Oh.

Then it must have

been you, Tula.

- I certainly haven't been

shouting at you, Iver.

I've been looking

out of the window

at these lovely mountains.

- Exactly. You see, I

was shouting down to you

to come up and look at them

from the roof garden.

- So, you were shouting then?

- No, I --

Well, yes, but --

- Yes. yes.

- Sort of.

And anyway, look, the

point is I shouted

hoobledoop down to you,

and you shouted

hoobledoop back up to me.

- No, we didn't.

- Didn't you?

- No. It must have

been someone else.

- Well, that's odd.

If it wasn't us,

then who did Iver hear

on the roof garden?

- [Echoing Voice] Hubba

Hubba Hubba Hubba...

- Hey, it's Hubba Hubba.

You've hit on the

question, Tula.

(Gallactic music)

- Who did Iver hear

on the roof garden?

That's an excellent

question for Hoob News!

(laughing)

- Do You think so, Hubba Hubba?

- Oh, yes, Groove.

Hoobs all over the universe hear

strange things all the time.

Maybe this will

explain some of them.

- (gasps) I've just thought.

Maybe it was a tiddlypeep

shouting hoobledoop, Iver.

- Now, that's a

hoobledoobledooper idea, Tula.

I suggest you take

a little drive

through the valley, Iver,

and see if you can

find some tiddlypeeps.

Then you can ask them if

they Hoobledooped you.

- Oh, yes, of

course, Hubba Hubba.

Tula, you can drive

the Hoobmobile,

and I'll look out

for tiddlypeeps.

Come on.

(Upbeat music)

- Seat belt?

- Seat belt.

- We're off to see

the tiddlypeeps.

- Wow. There they are.

- Yeah.

- What are they doing?

(giggling)

(popping)

Hoobledoop, tiddlypeeps!

- [All] Hoobledoop, tiddlypeeps!

- Want to do a hooby hello?

- [All] Want to

do a hooby hello?

- Okay, after three.

- [All] Okay, after three.

- [All] One, two, three.

Hoobledoop! Hoobledoop!

Whoop! Whoop! Whoop!

- That was hoobacious.

- [All] That was hoobacious.

- Oh!

Are you tiddlypeeps copying me?

- Yes, its a copying game.

- Yes, its a

copying game, silly.

(laughing)

Okay. Okay.

Now, I wanted to

ask you something.

Did any of you shout hoobledoop

back at me when I was

on the roof garden?

- Not us, Iver.

- Hmm. Now, that's strange.

If it wasn't you tiddlypeeps,

then who was it?

Oh, well. I better

leave you to your game.

Hoobletoodledoo!

- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!

(laughing)

(Bright music)

- Don't tell him.

Don't tell him.

- Well that was fun.

- But now I know it

wasn't the tiddlypeeps

talking to me.

- But now I know it

wasn't the tiddlypeeps

talking to me.

- Groove, stop copying me.

- [Both] Groove!

- Groove!

Sorry.

- You're not taking

this seriously.

It wasn't a tiddlypeep, right?

And, actually, come

to think of it,

the voice I heard

on the roof garden

didn't sound like a

tiddleypeep anyway.

- So what did it

sound like then?

- Well, it sounded like this.

(coughs)

Hoobledoop!

- So it sounded like you then?

- Well, yes, I suppose it did.

- Well, you must have

hoobledooped yourself, Iver.

- No, Groove.

I think I'd have noticed

if I shouted

hoobledoop at myself.

- Well something

must have shouted

hoobledoop at you.

- Yeah, but what?

(mysterious music)

♪ What, what, what ♪

♪ What ♪

- [Echo] Hubba

Hubba Hubba Hubba...

- Hubba Hubba!

- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!

- Hoobygalooby. There's no

need to shout, Hubba Hubba.

- I don't think he can hear us.

- I can't hear you with

my hooby headphones on.

Hold on.

Yeah. That's better.

Yes. I'm listening to the

Hopping Hoobledippers.

Auntie Hatty lent me the CD.

She loves a good hop, you know.

(laughing)

- Anyway, how are

you getting on?

- Well, not very

well, Hubba Hubba.

The voice I heard

on the roof garden

sounded like me.

But I know it wasn't me.

- Might have been you.

- Maybe you were talking to

yourself without realzing.

Hey, Tula, this gets

worse and worse.

- Tula, Groove, I was

not talking to myself!

I mean, why doesn't

anyone believe me?

- Now, now, now,

Iver, don't worry.

Take a look at these

pictures I found on Hoobnet.

Maybe they'll help.

(Upbeat music)

These birds are called parrots.

Now, it says here,

Hoobs, that parrots

live in rainforests.

And these parrots are

hobbaciously clever.

If a peep says a

word to a parrot,

the parrot can say the

word back to the peep.

They can learn to copy them.

Isn't that clever?

(gallactic music)

- Hoobygalooby! A

bird that can talk.

- And if a parrot

can repeat something

a peep has said,

then it can repeat something

a Hoob has said, can't it?

- If a parrot can

repeat something

a peep has said,

then it can repeat something

a Hoob has said, can't it?

- Groove, you are

being very annoying.

- Oh, sorry, Iver. I should

be taking care of you.

Shouldn't I?

Especially since you've

started talking to yourself.

- I was not talking to myself.

No. It was a parrot.

I bet it was.

- Well, maybe.

- But maybe not. There's

one small problem.

- Well, what?

(mysterious music)

♪ What, what, what ♪

♪ What ♪

- We're in a

valley, that's what.

And where did Hubba Hubba

say that parrots lived?

- In a warm place full of

trees called the rainforest.

Oh, yes. I see what you mean.

Oh, hoobybother.

- So it must have

been you after all.

- Groove! It wasn't me!

- [Echo] Hubba

Hubba, Hubba Hubba...

(gallactic music)

- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!

- Hubba Hubba, you're

shouting again.

- Hmm?

- [All] You're shouting again!

- There's no need

to shout, Hoobs.

Now, how are you getting on?

- Iver thought it was a parrot.

- Iver thought it was a parrot?

- Iver thought it was a parrot.

- Stop it, all of you.

- [Both] Sorry.

- And was it a parrot, Iver?

- No, of course

not, Hubba Hubba,

because we're in a

valley not a rainforest.

- How right you are.

Well, don't worry, Hoobs.

There's one thing you can do.

- What's that, Hubba Hubba?

- Ask some

tiddlypeeps, of course.

They always seem to

have clever ideas.

- Right, and this time I'll go.

- Oh, Hubba Hubba, do you

think I can have a listen

to the Hopping Hoobledippers?

- Oh, do you like

them too, Groove?

They are rather

hoobledooper, aren't they?

- Groove, you haven't

got time for that.

Now, come and drive me.

(upbeat music)

- Hoobledoop? Hoobledoop?

- No, no, no, no, no.

I was not talking to myself.

(giggling)

I said hoobledoop, tiddlypeep.

(giggling)

(clicking)

- [Recording] Hoobledoop!

- Oh, that was

hoobelly groobelly.

You'd already

recorded your voice.

- I used this tape recorder.

(clicking)

- Oh, yes. We've

got one of those

in our Hooby CD player.

- You just press record and

speak into this microphone.

- And then the sound

gets recorded here.

- That's right, and

you can play it back.

- Why didn't we think of that?

- What do you mean?

- Well, Iver's been

hearing his own voice

up on the roof garden.

Maybe someone recorded him

and then played it back.

- They could have.

- Hoobygalooby! Maybe

this is the answer.

Thank you so much, tiddlypeep.

Hoobletoodledoo!

- Hoobletoodledoo!

(giggling)

(magical music)

- You see, Groove, it wasn't me.

It must have been someone

recording my voice.

- Well, maybe, but I think --

- Oh, Iver! I am so sorry

I didn't believe you.

- Oh, that's all right, Tula.

But I was beginning to believe

that I really was

talking to myself.

- But I think you really are --

- Not now, Groove.

We need to make it up to

Iver for not believing him.

Get your Hooby CD player.

- All right.

- Watcha going to do, Tula?

- I am going to prove

you right, Iver.

(bright music)

- Oh, hoobacious! You're

going to record my voice.

- Yes. That is right.

Now, when I press

the record button,

I want you to say: Hoobledoop.

- Right. Ready.

(clicking)

- Hoobledoop!

(clicking)

- Now, let's see.

(clicking)

- [Recording] Hoobledoop!

- You see, it works!

Someone must have

recorded your voice.

- Well, yes, but who?

(mysterious music)

♪ Who, who, who, who, who ♪

♪ Who ♪

- No one, that's who.

- What do you mean?

- Well, have a look.

We're in a big empty

valley, aren't we?

There's no one out there.

Besides, you have

to be very close

to a tape recorder

for it to work.

- (sighs) Oh, dear.

Groove's right.

So it must have

been you after all.

- But it wasn't.

I'm sure it wasn't.

- Well, there's nowhere

for anyone to hide, Iver.

So if you heard a voice

shouting hoobledoop

that sounded exactly like you --

- Then it must have been

you shouting hoobledoop.

- Yes, sorry, Iver, but you

were talking to yourself.

(chuckling)

First sign of going

chap-chap-curly-whirly-cuckoo,

if you ask me.

- No, it's not true.

I know it's not.

- [Echo] Roma,

Roma, Roma, Roma...

- Ah, it's Roma.

(gallactic music)

She'll know who was

shouting hoobledoop at me.

(gentle music)

- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!

- [All] Hoobledoop, Roma!

- Now, Hubba Hubba tells me

Iver's been hearing things.

So I've come here

to a place called Switzerland,

where I've been hearing

something fantabihooby

in the mountains.

- What have you heard, Roma?

- It's called a yodel, Iver.

The peeps who live

here use it to talk

to each other from

mountain to mountain.

It goes kind of like this:

♪ Yodel-iddle-Lay-dee-Hoo ♪

- Hoobygroovy!

- And it gets even

hoobygroovier, Groove!

If you yodel loud

enough, you can hear

an amazing thing called an echo.

- An echo?

- That's right, Tula.

An echo is the

sound of your voice

coming back to you.

It sounds rather like

you're talking to yourself.

Listen.

It's been made especially for me

oh, never mind.

- I must say, Hoobs, I'm having

a hoobledoobleduper hopping day.

How's your day going?

- Well, not back, Hubba Hubba.

It looks like what I

heard on the roof garden

was something called an echo.

- But we don't really

know what an echo is.

- Well, perhaps I

can help, Hoobs.

In between hops, I've

had a look on Hoobnet

and found this story that

a tiddlypeep sent in.

See if there are

any clues in here.

(gallactic music)

(bright gentle music)

- [Narrator] Two

little white rabbits

lived in a grassy valley

surrounded by high mountains.

- That's like us.

- [Narrator] Their names

were Dave and Denise.

(bright flute music)

They would much away

happily at tufts of grass.

(chewing)

Then they would go

bouncing together

over the rocks.

Now, one day, two more

rabbits came to the valley.

Their names were

Keith and Kevin.

(gloomy music)

And they wanted to scare

Dave and Denise away

so that they could eat

the best tufts of grass.

- If we bounce up

onto the big rock,

we'll soon frighten them off.

- Yeah.

- [Narrator] So Keith

and Kevin bounced.

(bouncy music)

Dave and Denise

let out a huge cry.

(Shouting)

The huge cry bounced off

the side of the valley

and echoed loudly all around.

- Help!

There are hundreds of monsters

coming to get us.

(crying)

- [Narrator] He and

Keith were so frightened

that they ran and ran

as fast as they could.

(fast music)

Dave and Denise laughed.

(laughing)

And their laugh bounced off

the sides of the valley.

Who would have thought

that Kevin and Keith

(whimpering)

would so frightened of an echo?

(gentle music)

(galactic music)

- Iver, that's it.

Your voice must have

bounced off the mountains

on either side of the valley.

- Yeah, and come

straight back to you.

- As an echo.

- Come and listen.

(bright music)

Come on. Come on.

Right. Here goes.

Hoobledoop!

- [Echo] Hoobledoop! Hoobledoop!

(laughing)

- You see, my voice is

bouncing off the mountains

and coming back to me.

It's my echo.

- That's hoobygroovy.

Let me try. Let me try.

(clears throat)

Hooble-doo-hoo-hoop!

- [Echo] Hooble-doo-hoo-hoop!

(laughing)

- Oh, oh, oh, what

Hubba, Hubba Hubba...

(galactic music)

- Hoobledoop, Hoobs!

Are you ready to give

me your Hoob news

for my great Hoobapaedia?

- [All] (cheering) Yes!

- Then take it away.

(news music)

- Hoobledoop whoop to

all you Hoobs out there.

Welcome to Hoob

News, the news show

for Hoobs everywhere.

I'm Iver.

- I'm Tula.

- And I'm Groove.

- And today we've been

asking the question --

- Who did Iver hear

on the roof garden?

- It all started when

I said hoobledoop,

and somebody said it back.

- [Groove] At first, we

thought it could have been

some tiddlypeeps.

- But then I realized

it sounded just like me.

- [Tula] So Groove and

I thought that maybe

it was Iver talking to himself.

- But I said it wasn't.

- But we didn't believe him.

Sorry.

- [Iver] Then I thought it

could have been a parrot.

They can copy peeps'

or Hoobs' voices.

- [Tula] But parrots

live in the rainforest,

and we were in a valley,

so I asked a tiddlypeep,

and she showed me how

it could have been

someone recording Iver's voice.

- But there wasn't anyone

in the valley to record him.

- So we still thought

it must have been Iver.

- [Iver] Then Roma told us

about something hoobacious

called an echo.

- [Groove] And we realized

that that must have been

what Iver heard.

- But we still didn't

know how an echo worked.

- [Iver] Until Hubba

Hubba found us a story

about some rabbits

who made an echo

when their voices bounced

off the sides of a valley.

- And we're parked in a valley,

so Iver's voice must have

bounced off the sides

and echoed back to him.

- So the answer to the question,

"Who did Iver hear on

the roof garden," is --

- My echo.

I heard me.

- Wait a minute.

That means Groove and

I were right all along.

We said it was your voice.

- And it was.

- Oh, yes. I

suppose that's true.

(laughing)

- So it's thanks once

again to Iver, Tula,

Groove, and Roma

for giving Hoobs

everywhere a little peep

into the world of peeps.

And remember, wherever you are,

have a nice day and

hoobletoodledoo!

- [All] Hoobletoodledoo!
