01x13 - Didgeridoo and Carmen Too/Not Home on the Range

[bunniefuu]

We live in a big, beautiful world.

I'm leo.

I'm andy.

And I'm carmen.

Our parents work in a circus that travels

All around the world and we travel with them.

So we never know where in the world we will end up next.

(Train whistling)

But wherever we go, we know that

Luna the moon will be there with us.

(Whistling theme song)

♪

Carmen: didgeridoo and carmen too.

(Boing, boing)

(Loud sputter) (loud whoosh)

Thanks anyway, chindra!

Hey, carmen.

What are you doing?

Hi, leo.

I'm trying to write a song

For two instruments called a duet.

I already have my spanish guitar,

But I need to find a second instrument.

I play an instrument.

Can I play in your duet?

Maybe.

What instrument do you play?

I can play my own hands!

(Hands squishing)

Uh, nope.

Definitely not what I meant by instrument.

Oh.

I can sort of play the spoons.

Whoops. (Spoon clatters)

Well, I can cook with spoons, anyway.

Good effort.

Do you know where we can find more instruments, leo?

You're from here, aren't you?

Sure. Yes.

Today we're in my hometown of sydney

In the country of australia.

There are lots of special instruments here.

But I bet magic globe knows more.

Can you help us out, magic globe?

Magic globe: I'll try.

Leo was right, we're in his hometown of sydney, australia,

Home to the didgeridoo,

One of the world's oldest instruments

And one that is still played today.

When a player blows air through this wooden instrument,

It makes a low hum. (Didgeridoo humming)

Oh, yeah!

I like that sound.

It's really different.

Thanks, magic globe!

If magic globe is in carmen's pocket,

Why do we still hear a didgeridoo?

I hear it too.

There must be a didgeridoo player nearby.

Let's go check it out.

Didgeri-do I hear a didgeridoo?

Carmen: what a neat sound.

Is that a didgeridoo?

That's right, mate.

You familiar?

Sure am!

We heard about it a whole minute ago.

My magic globe told us they're an australian instrument.

That's right.

My name's gelar.

Nice to meet you, gelar.

This is leo and andy, and I'm carmen.

We're from the circo right over there.

How much do you know about the didgeridoo?

Well, we hear it's a very old instrument.

That's right, my grandfather and I made this one

Out of a hollowed out tree trunk.

You made that?

That's right, mate.

Well, termites hollowed it out.

But making these beauts is part of my culture.

Each instrument is very personal, one-of-a-kind.

Wowza, it's perfect.

Wait, perfect for what?

Would you like to play a duet with me?

A guitar and didgeridoo-et?

A spiffy idea, but there's a hitch in that plan.

A bus is coming up this dusty road

To take me off to school for the day.

But I'd love to come back after school

And play a rip snortin' duet with you.

Great! That'd be perfect.

Ace.

Can you keep an eye on my didge while I'm gone?

My grandpa doesn't exactly like me taking it to school.

I'll take special care of it.

Right, well, remember that it's one-of-a-kind.

Please take good care of it!

(Gelar coughs)

(Tires screech) (all coughing)

Now where is that didgeridoo sound coming from?

(Wolfgang coughing)

(Wolfgang gasps)

Look what I found!

A didgeridoo!

It's amazing what you'll find in an australian dust cloud!

(Coughing)

(All coughing)

What a dusty road.

(Gasps)

Where'd the didgeridoo go?!

It was just here a second ago.

I can't believe we just made a new friend,

And I've already lost his didgeridoo.

We have to look everywhere.

Gelar trusted me to keep it safe.

(Lively music)

Hey, pippa.

Hey, mathilda.

Didgeri-do you didgeri-two want to hear some jokes?

Oh, no.

Don't tell me you found one of those again.

Those didgeridoos lead to the worst jokes ever.

Didgeri-don't be upset, didgeri-dear.

Didgeri-dad is here to tell his famous didgeri-dad jokes!

Ugh! That's it.

We've looked everywhere for gelar's didgeridoo.

Gelar trusted us to take care of it.

We'll just have to tell him he no longer has a didgeridoo,

Unless we can make one appear out of thin air.

(Gasps) that's it.

We could make him one, but not out thin air, out of wood.

It won't be the same as his old one,

But at least we'll have something to give back to him.

Didn't gelar say that the didgeridoos

Are made from a tree trunk?

There's a whole bunch of trees over there.

Maybe we can get luna to help.

(Birds chirping) (chimpanzee screeching)

How do we turn a tree into a didgeridoo?

Maybe we just ask 'em.

Excuse me?

Uh, tree?

Are you a didgeridoo on the inside?

(Tree rattling)

Hey, guys!

Welcome to sydney, australia.

Oof!

All: luna!

♪ Luna, come and play ♪

♪ Luna's here, what do you say ♪

♪ Luna, bright as day ♪

♪ Show us the world, lead the way ♪

G'day, mates!

Did I overhear you were trying to make a didgeridoo?

That's right, luna.

We lost our new friend's didgeridoo,

So we need to make a new one.

Do you know how to turn

One of these trees into a didgeridoo?

I might have a friend in these woods who can help us out.

He's made a few didgeridoos in his time.

Now where would he be?

(Knocking) knock, knock.

(Tree rattling)

(Softly chomping)

Did someone just knock-knock?

David!

Great to see ya, luna.

You remember my cousin marty, right?

(Loud gulp)

G'day, luna.

Hi, guys, these are my friends andy, carmen, and leo.

All: hi, david. Hi, marty.

G'day, mates.

My friends need your help.

Yeah, we are kind of in a jam.

We need a really nice didgeridoo.

Well, I reckon we can help.

Ya can't make a proper didge without us termites.

Really? Why is that?

Well, we do our part.

Ya see, a didgeridoo is a very special instrument,

And not just anybody can make one.

It starts with a nice australian eucalyptus tree,

And we termites hollow out the tree by eating the inside.

Ya clean all the gunk out with a stick,

And the bark is stripped away.

Some friendly stingless bees

Provide a special wax for a mouth piece.

And then it's painted with natural paints from the earth.

A proper didgeridoo is made mostly by nature, mates,

And no two are alike.

That's part of what makes 'em so special.

(Loud rumbling)

That's amazing, david.

So we need a new one, and fast.

Eh, not a problem there, mates.

We can get my whole family to help out.

(Loudly whistles)

All right, it's chew time! (Termites chattering)

Cue the chew song!

A one, a two, a one, two, three.

That about does it for today, mates.

Get a load of that tree.

Ain't she a beaut?

But, david, the tree looks the same.

Well, I guess you can't tell from here,

But she's a bit more hollow now.

Yep, about another four months, and she'll be good to go.

All: four months?!

David: well, time for us to roll on outta here.

G'day everyone!

We can't wait four months to replace gelar's didgeridoo.

We need it before he gets out of school.

When is it three o'clock, luna?

Hmm. Three o'clock. Looks like minutes.

Oh, so we still have time--

Ago.

All: we're late!

Carmen: come on, let's go!

Back to the circo! (Upbeat music)

(Tires screech) (bus horn honks)

(Tires screech)

Carmen?

Where's she gone to?

Carmen: gelar!

Eh?

Gelar!

Oh. Hello, everyone.

Everything all right?

Gelar, I have to tell you about something.

It's about your didgeridoo.

What about it, carmen?

Well, when your bus took off this morning,

It kicked up a bunch of dust.

When it cleared, your didgeridoo was missing.

We tried all day to make a new one, but it was no use.

It's not easy to make a didgeridoo.

You mean my didge is gone?

All: we're sorry, gelar.

It's all right, mates.

It was just an accident.

I just hope my didge is all right wherever it is.

(Bush rustling)

Didgeri-boo!

(Gasps)

My didge!

Oh, this is yours, mate?

Oh. Well, it's a riot!

Supplied me with some of the best jokes I've ever told.

(Laughs)

Papa? You had gelar's didgeridoo all along?

But why, mr. Chockers?

Well, I came across it in a dust cloud this morning.

And I'd never let a didgeridoo get didgeri-dusty.

(Laughs)

Glad it's finally found you, buddy.

Thank you, sir!

Sorry about the didgeridoo mix-up, gelar.

No problem, carmen.

Are you ready for our duet?

You bet I am!

Andy: make that a four-instrument quartet.

(Hands squishing)

(Spoons tapping)

Sounds great, guys.

But hey, where did luna go?

Up here, everyone!

I hope you all had a great time in sydney, australia, today.

Well, losing gelar's didgeridoo wasn't so fun.

It ended well, and we learned about sydney and didgeridoos,

But I feel there's so much more to learn about sydney.

There's always more to learn

About any place we visit, carmen.

But remember, there's always tomorrow.

Thanks, luna.

One, two, three, four!

(Funky quartet music)

♪

Hi, this is carmen with an australian folktale

Called how the kangaroo got her pouch.

(Gentle music)

Long ago, a mama kangaroo noticed her baby joey

Had wandered off, just as a storm was coming up.

Searching for her young one, she met an old wombat.

"Who's there?" Asked the wombat,

And mama kangaroo realized the wombat couldn't see.

"Hello, friend," she said.

"Come with me while I find my joey."

They found her joey, and all took shelter in a cave.

(Lightning rumbling)

When the storm passed,

Mama and joey realized the wombat was gone.

It turned out the wombat was really a sky spirit

Looking for the creature with the kindest heart.

He saw now it was kangaroo.

He called the other sky spirits and said,

"Let's make a dilly-bag apron of eucalyptus bark

"For mama kangaroo to tie around her waist."

The moment she tied the apron on,

It transformed into soft kangaroo fur,

A pouch to carry and protect her baby joey.

Mama kangaroo wished others could have such a pouch,

And the sky spirits granted her wish.

Now, most marsupial mothers have pouches,

And their babies never get lost.

The end.

Leo: not home on the range.

Yee-haw!

Get along, little froggy.

Looks like we done caught ourselves

A posse of no-good bandits.

Well, hot diggity dog.

(Pedro softly coughs)

Ahem.

Howdy, pardner!

I mean, sir.

Sorry.

Y'all come back now, ya hear?

Andy! Carmen!

What are you guys doing out here?

We're super excited to visit

Your uncle's cowboy ranch today,

So we decided to practice talking like cowboys.

Uh, yeah, well, cowboys don't talk like that here.

Both: they don't?

No, and they don't even call themselves cowboys.

We're in australia, and the word they use is stockmen.

Wait a minute, australia?

I knew we were going to a ranch,

But I didn't know about australia.

Australia is the country where I grew up!

Magic globe, can you tell them more about it?

Magic globe: I sure can, leo.

Australia is a very large country

That can be found right here.

Every country has towns and cities.

Today, we are in the big city of sydney.

But outside of the city,

There's an even bigger area where hardly anyone lives.

Australians call this area the bush.

It's a great place to raise cows.

In fact, that's one of the things leo's uncle does.

So, have fun at the station today, kids.

All: thanks, magic globe!

Cattle station?

I thought we were going to your uncle's ranch.

In australia, we don't say ranch.

We say cattle station.

It's basically a ranch where you raise cows.

So australian cowboys are called stockmen,

And they work on a cattle station?

Yup, but don't worry, andy,

Australian stockmen are just like the cowboys in america.

They still wear big hats, herd cattle,

Ride horses.

Is something wrong, leo?

You were talking about riding horses

And then you got all jittery.

Nothing.

Nothing's wrong.

I love my uncle, and I love visiting his station.

It'd be crazy for the nephew of an australian stockman

To be scared of something silly like a--

(Horse sputters)

Horse!

(Laughs)

Hiya, leo.

Didn't mean to startle ya.

Uncle crusty!

There's my favorite jackaroo.

Here, I got something for ya.

(Gasps) now you look just like

A real jackaroo.

Both: jackeroo?

A jackaroo is what we aussies call a stockman-in-training.

Ah. Like a cowboy-in-training.

Boys are jackaroos, and girls are jillaroos.

Well, we got a big day ahead of us.

What do you say we hit the road?

All: yahoo!

Why don't you three hop in the cart

With the other new jilleroo?

All: luna! G'day, mates.

Luna, you're in my uncle's cart?

♪ Luna's here, what do you say ♪

(Rooster crowing)

Leo: here we are!

Crusty acres, my uncle's cattle station.

The finest cattle station you'll visit...today.

(Laughs)

All jackaroos and jilleroos

Need to know how to ride a horse.

What do you say we get started with that?

Carmen/andy: yay!

Leo: hooray.

All right, jack-and-jill-aroos.

I've assembled some real bonzer horses for you to ride.

Let's meet the team, shall we?

This here's trusty,

True blue,

Mr. Dependable,

And, uh, screwball.

(Sputters) (crazy laughter)

Now that you've been properly introduced,

Who wants to ride first?

Pick me, pick me, pick me! Ooh, ooh, pick me!

(Soft rattling) oh, no.

I feel the jiggling jitters coming on.

I can't let anyone know that I'm scared of horses.

I need to do something.

Uh, uncle crusty, what's that?!

Well, leo, that's where we shear the sheep,

But I think you already knew that.

Cool!

Let's do that!

(Electric razor buzzing)

(Groans)

And that's how you shear a sheep.

It's like giving the sheep a haircut.

Can we ride horses now?

Uncle crusty, what's that?!

(Cow moos)

(Milk splashing)

And that's how you milk a cow.

Can we ride horses now?

Uncle crusty, what's that?!

(Hammer tapping)

(Groans)

And that's how you repair a fence.

Can we ride horses now?

Uncle crusty, what's that?!

All: oh.

Now leo, you're my favorite jackaroo,

But I think it's time we let someone else

Decide what to do next, all right?

All right, youse, run along and pick out your horses!

All: woo-hoo!

Yay! Yeah!

Woo-hoo! Oh!

Now that you've picked a horse,

Let's get into the thick of it.

You need to mount your horse just right.

First, you grab the horse's reins.

Then, you put your left foot in the stirrup

And swing your body up into the saddle.

Easy, ain't it?

Now you try.

(Both grunting)

Luna: whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Easy there!

Screwball, I'm just trying to, almost...got it!

I think I got it.

Hey, me too.

I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Isn't horse riding awesome?

Grab the reins.

(Grunts) what's wrong, leo?

Why didn't you get up on your horse like your friends?

I can't actually ride trusty yet because,

Uh, um,

...boots!

I need my star-patterned, ultra-cool boots

Before I can ride trusty.

I don't recall you having any

Star-patterned, ultra-cool boots.

Well, I do.

I left them back at the house.

Okay, I guess I'll go look for them, but when I come back,

It'll be your turn to ride ol' trusty.

Be right back. (Upbeat music)

Wahoo!

(Gulps loudly)

(Whimpering)

What's wrong, leo?

You and trusty are jiggling like jellyfish.

We're just super excited, you know, to ride.

Hmm.

Hey, you know you can tell me anything, right?

I'm here to listen.

It's just that I'm, I'm,

I'm scared of horses!

I'm terrified of horses.

Just being around them gives me the jiggling jitters.

Does your uncle crusty know about this?

Yeah, maybe you could ask him

To help get rid of your horse jitters.

You guys don't get it.

If uncle crusty finds out I'm scared of horses,

I'll never be his favorite jackeroo again.

(Sighs)

Let me explain.

♪ Brave and carefree ♪

♪ Riding with ease in the warm australian breeze ♪

♪ I'm just a jittery, jittery, jittery, jittery jackaroo ♪

It's okay, leo.

Trying new things can feel scary and embarrassing,

And it's okay to feel scared.

But for me, learning more about something

Helps get rid of my fear.

And it's always okay to ask for help.

You think so?

Of course.

I'm sure if you just tell uncle crusty the truth,

He will understand.

Crusty: wahoo!

(Grunts)

You know, I searched all over the house,

But I can't seem to find those boots.

Sorry about that, jackaroo.

No, uncle crusty.

I'm the one who should (sniffs) apologize.

I lied about the boots.

The fact is, I've been trying to stall you

Because I'm, I'm scared of horses!

(Laughs)

Oh leo, you silly jackeroo!

It's okay to be scared.

Back when I was a li'l jackeroo,

My uncle cranky was teaching me how to ride,

And got the jiggling jitters too.

What?

Even you, uncle crusty?

Yep, of course, I eventually learned by asking for help.

But truth is, leo, even if you never ride a horse,

You'll always be my favorite jackaroo.

Thanks, uncle crusty,

But, now, I think I really do want to try riding trusty.

You sure, now?

It's okay if you don't.

I do, uncle crusty.

Okay, that's the spirit.

Now, let's remember the steps I taught you earlier.

Put your foot in the stirrup

And swing your body up into the saddle.

Hup! And bingo!

(Screams)

I'm already on the horse?!

It's really high up!

It's all right, leo.

Remember to stay calm.

Now, just give ol' trusty a gentle tap with your heel.

(Trusty whinnies)

(Trusty sputters)

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

Hey, I'm really doing it.

I'm riding a horse!

Yahoo, leo!

Not bad for a first-timer.

How's about we all go for a ride?

All: yeah!

Leo: phew.

I'm plum tuckered out.

(Screwball sputters)

(Screwball laughs)

Hey, wasn't that screwball?

Luna's horse?

If that was luna's horse, where's luna?

Up here!

(Giggles)

Screwball buck-and-bronco'd me all the way up into the sky,

But it was getting late anyway.

Uncle crusty will take you back to the circo.

I hope you all had a rip-roaring good time

In sydney, australia, today.

Looks like you got rid of your jiggling jitters too.

I'm so proud of you.

Thanks, luna.

I know I grew up here,

But it seems like there's so much more to explore.

Of course, leo.

There's more to explore in every city we visit,

But remember, there's always tomorrow.
