Narrator: listen for the words
recall and zeal.

Ah, yes. Another calm day

And another
wild and crazy crime.

[Squeaks]

Great job, huggy!

You know, huggy,
I can't recall

An easier battle
with the energy
monster.

[Squeak]

Oh. Um, recall means
to remember

Or to think back
about something that
already happened.

I'm thinking back
to all the times

We've defeated
the energy monster,

Recalling
each event.

Ah. Recalling.

We make a great
team, don't we?

[Screeching]

[Errrr]

Narrator: ahem. Aren't you
forgetting something?

You're right!
I was playing
with such zeal

That I almost didn't
recall something

Very, very
important!

Yes, you're recalling that--

That I promised
my unicorns
a bubble bath today!

A magical bubble bath!

Narrator: uh, so it would appear
that becky has forgotten

Captain huggy face.

As I recall,
she's done this

Several times before.

[Screech]

[Grr]

Oh, you have to admit,
that last time was pretty fun.

Am I right?

[Squeak]

And so huggy faces
another day completely alone.

[Squeak]

Wait. You say you've
got tons

Of important things to do?

Like what?

After such an eventful day,
huggy decides to head back home.

[Squeak]

Wait. There's more?

Oh! You're getting
a ticket to see

Tonight's performance
of the amazing pepperini,

Your favorite food magician?

What a perfect day!

Oh. Hello.

Hey. Uh, where's
your superhero friend?

[Squeak]

Not around today, huh?

Normally I'd blast you
with some ketchup,

But you know what?

Any fan of
the amazing pepperini

Is a friend of mine.

[Squeak]

[Squeak]

One ticket to the
amazing pepperini, please.

Sorry. The furry guy
go the last ticket.

We're all sold out.

But i--i waited
in line like I'm
supposed to!

I should have cheated!

How can this be
happening to me?

Why? Why? Why?

Give me the ticket.

Yeah, yeah!

I've got to get
that ticket!

Without word girl around,
I might actually
win this battle.

I can't wait to tell
my mom about this.

[Tires squeal]

[Squeak]

[Click]

Ha ha! Hee!

You can't hide from me.

[Chewing]

There you are!

Hyah! Ha ha!

What? Oh.

Nooo! This thing
always jams
at the worst time!

[Engine starts]

Ha ha ha! Yeah!

Narrator: meanwhile...

♪ La da da
da dee ♪

♪ Relaxing,
superhappy ♪

You know, it's just
one of those days

Where everything seems
right in the world.

Oh! Wait.
Did I forget?

Narrator: yes.
It's about time

You finally realized that--

To turn off
my mini-yummy oven?

Really? I mean, I'm having
a hard time believing

You're not recalling
you know who.

No. I definitely
recall it clearly.

The yummy oven
is off. Ha!

♪ La dee da
la la la la ♪

Narrator, sighing:
meanwhile...

Ha!

Oof!

Ha ha!

[Screech]

[Screeching]

Ohh!

Come on, pretty princess.

Jump, jump.
You can jump.

Ohh. Ugh.

Heeelllp!

Captain huggy face
is all alone

Battling chuck,

And he's about
to be defeated.

Why isn't word girl
helping him?

Somebody heeelllp!

Oh, no! I can't
believe I forgot.

Didn't get
the mail today.

[Screech]

Huggy! What are you
doing here

Dressed like that?

[Squeak]

I left you behind
at the electronics
and yogurt superstore?

Really? I don't
recall, but--

[Squeaking]

And now chuck's
after you?

Ok, ok. Quick.
Get inside and change.

I can distract him.

Ha!

Hey. Where'd he go?

Why, hello, there,
evil sandwich making guy.

Who are you
looking for

While you are
here today?

It's mr. Evil
sandwich making guy,

Thank you very much.

I'm looking
for the monkey
who took my ticket

To see
the amazing pepperini.

Oh. Well, I will pass
along the message
if I see him.

Not so fast!
The pickle trail
ends at this house.

That monkey must
be around here
somewhere.

Listen up,
captain huggy face.

I know you
can hear me.

I need that ticket.

Bring
the ticket out.

Come out, or I'm
gonna cover

This innocent bystander
with ketchup.

Come out.
She's gonna get it.

I'm gonna cover
this woman,

Who looks a lot
like word girl.

All right, then.
You asked for it.

[Click]

Ohh. Come on.

I can't believe this.

My condiment ray
is jammed again.

Give me a second,
please.

No. Take all
the time you need.

So why are you going
after captain huggy face
with such zeal?

Zeal? Uh,
what's that mean?

When you have zeal
for something,

It means you're
superexcited

Because you really,
really want to do it.

For example, you're
zealously trying to fix

Your condiment ray
right now.

Everyone's
a word girl.

Chuck: this thing
is the worst!

[Squeak]

See, when I first--

Please. Enough.
All right.

Trying to do
something here.

I don't need
you talking.

Uh, sorry.

Ahh. It's fixed.
Heh heh.

Now get down here,
you furry rascal!

I'm counting to .

If you don't
come out,

She gets covered
in ketchup.

...

...

[Slowed down]
.

There you are!
Where's my ticket?

I want my ticket!

Err! Give me that!
I want--

Give me that ticket.

That's miiine.

Word up!

Give me. Unh! Yeah!

Stop right there,
chuck!

Not a chance.
I've been

Through an awful
lot today

To get this ticket,

And not even
word girl is
gonna stop me

From seeing
the amazing
pepperini!

Nooooo!

The ticket,
it's ruined.

Now I can't go
to the show.

Is it too late
for a simple
"I'm sorry"

Instead
of the jail?

Hyah! Ha!

I'm sorry your ticket
to the amazing pepperini
got ruined,

And I'm really sorry that
I left you behind today,

But a week ago
when I heard that
the amazing pepperini

Was coming to town,
I recalled that he's
your favorite magician,

So I got us
two vip tickets!

To the amazing pepperini!

Surprise.

[Squeak]

[Instruments tuning]

[Drumroll]

[Cheering and applause]

[Knock on door]

Oh, wow! Is he going
to make that whole
pepperoni pizza disappear?

[Drumroll]

[Chewing]

[Cheering and applause]

No way! Yeah!

Narrator: after such
a wild and crazy day,

I'm guessing word girl
won't leave huggy behind
anytime soon.

[Squeaking]

I hope you'll recall
what a fun episode this was

And tune in next time
to watch our superduo
fight crime with zeal

In the next exciting
episode of "word girl"!

♪ Word girl ♪

Hello. I'm beau handsome,

And this is...

"May I have a word?"

As usual, the player
who correctly defines

Today's featured word
will win a fabulous prize!

Let's play...

"May I have a word?"

Yes, you may!

Today's featured
word is apprehend.

To give you a clue,
here are some clips

From "word girl" that show
the meaning of the word.

Yes, tommy?

Apprehend means to
dress like a pirate

Like captain tangent
in that last scene

Or like me
this past halloween.

Check it out!

I'm sorry.
That's incorrect.

I did, too, dress
like a pirate.

No. I mean
the definition
you gave

For apprehend
is incorrect.

I'm not following.

Yes, phil?

Apprehend means to
capture and take to jail.

In all those clips,
the police were

Apprehending
the bad guys.

Correct!
Congratulations, phil!

You are today's winner.

Huggy, show him
what he's won.

An official captain tangent
pirate costume.

Ooh!

That seems a bit
coincidental.

Well, that's it
for today's episode.

See you next time on...

"May I have a word?"

♪ Word girl ♪

Narrator: today's featured words
are stymie and guidance.

It's a...

[Yawn]

Sleepy weekday morning,

And at the bus stop,

Every one is
very patiently waiting

For the school bus to arrive,

Everyone that is
except for becky.

Is it just me,
or is it taking the bus

Forever to get here
this morning?

Narrator: why are you
so anxious to get to school?

Another vocab quiz today?

Even better!
Tomorrow's the bake sale

To raise money
for the school library!

Wow! That is exciting.

Wait! There's more!

After school,
my mom and I

Are going to bake
some goodies
for the bake sale.

She's going to teach me
a secret botsford family
recipe--

Strawberry cotton candy
covered crumpets!

Did you say
strawberry cotton candy
covered crumpets?! Yes!

Narrator: so that's why
you're feeling anxious,

Because the sooner
the school day is over,

The sooner you'll be home
baking delicious goodies
with your mom.

Exactly, and the only
thing that would stymie
the process right now

Is the school bus,
which still hasn't
shown up.

Well, since I am
the narrator--heh heh--

Perhaps I can provide
some guidance. Ahem.

Suddenly, the school bus
pulls up.

All aboard!

Wow! Thanks!

Hey, becky wecky,
over here!

Come sit by me!

Sorry, eileen,
but I need to sit

By violet today
so we can make posters

For the bake sale.

She'll be
at the next stop.

Oh, pretty please.
Just this once.

It's my birfday.

Narrator:
aw, it would be nice.

It is her "birfday."

Hmm. She says every day
is her birthday!

Hey. If it were
your pretend "birfday,"

You wouldn't want
someone to stymie

Your celebration,
would you?

Oh, ok. I'll sit
by you.

I hope I don't
regret this.

This should be good.

Yay! You sat by me!

That means you're
my bestest,
westest fwiend.

Echh! Listen!
If I'm gonna sit here,

You're gonna need to
stop talking like that.

Grr. It's my
birfday,

So we will talk
however I want
to talk.

Ok, ok, ok.
Just stay cool.

Yay! Becky, do you
know what bestest
fwiends do together?

No. What do they do?

Everything!

So when I say, "go,"
we're gonna do

Everything together!

Ready?

Wait. What are we
gonna do?

Go!

I don't like
the sound of this.

"I don't like
the sound of this."

Ok. Could you maybe
stop doing that?

"Stop doing that?"

Stop copying me,
eileen!

Err. Grrrrr.

Ok. Fine, fine.
Keep copying me.

Yay! This is fun!
Ha ha ha!

Bob, a little
help here?

Every time I try
to stymie her,

She starts turning
into the birthday girl.

Don't look at me.
I don't want any part of this.

Do something!

"Do something!"
Ha ha ha!

Violet!

I'm so happy
you're here.

"I'm so happy
you're here."

It's so nice
to see you, too.

Eileen won't stop
copying me.

"Won't stop
copying me."

Can you give me
some guidance?

"Can you give me
some" hmm?

Guidance. It means
to give advice

Or show someone
what to do,

Like how I need guidance
in figuring out

How to make you
stop copying me

Or how I never should have
listened to the guidance

That got me
into this mess
in the first place.

Narrator: so sorry.

Thanks becky wecky.

So, violet, can you
help stymie eileen's
copycatting.

"So, violet,
can you"--

Eileen, you're
being rude.

Please stop it
right now.

Err!

Uh, it's all right,
violet.

Let's just wait
and see if she stops

When we get
to school.

I mean, there's no way
she could copy me

The entire day, right?

[Bell ringing]

See you tomorrow.

"See you tomo"--

Ah-ah. Eileen,
not your stop.

Grrr. You're right.

I guess we'll just
have to wait to be

Bestest fwiends again
tomorrow.

Ugh.

Bye, becky wecky!

Don't forget.
Tomorrow's my birfday!

Oh, good!
You're home!

The strawberry
cotton candy
coated crumpets!

Oh, I had such
a rough day
at school today

That I almost forgot!

Well, how about
if I teach you

The secret botsford
family recipe

While you tell me
all about it?

That sounds great,
and maybe you could

Give me some
guidance, too.

Of course, butirststrawberry coy
coated crumpets,

Not grumpy pie!

Heh. Yeah.

That's more like it!

Now put
the strawberry sugar

And that cup of milk
in this bowl.

I'll stir
while you talk!

Ok. Well, a girl
at school started
copying my every word

On the bus this morning,

And I didn't know how
to stymie her,

So she just kept
doing it all day long.

Oh, that sounds
rough, becky.

And I'm afraid
she's going to do it
all over again tomorrow.

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
I see.

You know, becky, copying
isn't always a bad thing.

Really?

Take our secret
family recipe.

It's been passed down
a long line of botsfords

And is now being passed
on to you!

Mmm. It's delicious.

And see tj over there?

Zzzmmm, zzzmmm!

You're going straight
to jail,

Evildoer who doesn't
know the meanings

Of lots of cool words.

He's copying word girl
so he can learn
right and wrong.

See bob over there?

He's making
meat loaf cupcakes

With mashed potato
frosting!

Eww! Really?

My point is is that
he's copying us by baking!

He wants to get in
on the fun, too!

You see, copying isn't
always a bad thing.

So what should I do
if that girl

Copies me at school
again tomorrow?

Well, the best guidance
I can give you

Is to tell your friend
how you feel

And always be yourself.

Thanks, mom.
I'll remember
that tomorrow.

Narrator: the next morning,
everyone is once again waiting

For the school bus
to arrive.

What is taking
the bus so long?

I don't know.
Hey, becky,
do you think

Eileen's gonna be
a big copycatter
all day again?

I hope not,
but if she tries,

I have a plan
to stymie her.

Huh? What's that?

It's a book.

I know that.
I mean, what's
a stymie?

Oh, yeah. Heh. Right.

Well, stymie means to
get in the way of something

Or try to stop something
from happening,

Like how reading this
book will hopefully stop
eileen from copying me

And how you're stymieing
from getting on the bus

Because you're standing
in front of the door.

Oh, I get it.

Yeah, move.

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

Hey, becky!
Come sit by me!

Uh-oh.
Here we go again.

Always be yourself.

Heh heh.

Ha ha ha!
Hee hee hee!
Hoo hoo hoo!

Oh, come on,
becky wecky!
Do something!

Tell your friend
how you feel.

Tell your friend
how you feel.

Tell your friend
how you feel.

Eileen, when you copy me,
it makes me feel...

"It makes me feel"...

Gah! Oh, that does it!
I can't take anymore!

Grr! Grrrrr!

Oh, no!
What have I done?

It's my birfday!

Mine! Mine!

Hey, hey! Kids!

Can I say something?

Please remain seated
until the bus

Has come
to a complete stop.

Ok. Now you can go
about your business.

Err!

Aah! Heeelllp!

Aah!

Time to stymie
this copycatter
once and for all!

Since it's my birfday,
I can do what I want!

Hold it right there,
birthday girl!

You're busted!

Get it? Bus-ted?
Bus?

[Squeaks]

I don't have to listen
to you, word girl!

It's my birfday!

[Screech]

Hey. What's that?

Word girl: oh, no!
The strawberry cotton
candy covered crumpets!

I'm guessing.

They're probably
for some kind
of bake sale.

Whoever made
them is probably
pretty angry right now.

Blah, blah, blah! Err!

No!

Explain your feelings
and always be yourself.

Great guidance, mom!

You know, eileen,
wanting to act like
you're friends is ok,

But you have to give
your friends room
to be themselves.

Oh, yeah? Then why did
my fwiend becky

Get mad at me
for copying her
this morning?

Because you also have
to be true to yourself.

She wants you
to just be you.

I mean, i, uh, I assume
that's what she wants.

Tj: aah! That's
the last crumpet!

[Squeak]

I'll save it
for you, becky.

[Phew]

Thanks, word girl.

Here's your cwumpet,
becky wecky.

I'm sorry I wuined
all the others.

It's ok, eileen.
I'm just glad you're back

To being your normal,
much smaller self.

The only thing
stymieing us now

Is the fact we have
only one crumpet left

To sell
at the bake sale.

[Squeak]

What is that?

Cupcakes.
Meat loaf cupcakes.

Can I try one?

Hey. Unexpectedly delicious.

Narrator: and so
with word girl having stymied

The birthday girl
from destroying the school bus

And bob having saved
the bake sale

With his delicious
meat loaf cupcakes,

We come to the end of yet
another exciting adventure.

[Stomach growling]

Sorry. All this talk
of crumpets and meat loaf

Is kind of making me hungry.

Hmm. Thanks, bob.

Mmm.

Well, if you're hungry
for more crime-fighting fun

And clever wordplay,
follow this guidance

And join us next time
for another episode

Of--mmm--"word girl."
