02x10 - What a T-Wreck!/Way of the Gaucho

[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.

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

[train whistling]

Carmen: But wherever we go, we know that

Luna the Moon will be there with us.

Andy: What a T-Wreck!

[loud roar]

Shrews: Waaaahhh!!! T-Rex: Rawwwrrr!!

Andy: You'll never escape the massive T Rex!

[loud roar]

Andy: Ahhhhh!!! Oof.

Leo: Hey, Andy! Whatcha doin'?

Andy: Scaring prehistoric Shrews

with my trusty T-Rex!

Carmen: [laughter] Andy,

you know cavemen came around

way after the dinosaurs, right?

Andy: Time is no obstacle

when you have an ancient dinosaur tooth!

Leo: Wait, Andy, you have a dinosaur tooth?

Where'd you get it?

Andy: I found it while digging around the circo.

Here in-- where are we?

Carmen: Let's ask the Magic Globe!

Magic Globe: Hello, everyone!

Today we are in the city of Buenos Aires,

located in the country of Argentina.

And guess what?

Millions of years ago this land was home to dinosaurs.

Including the largest plant eating dinosaur ever found,

the Argentinosaurus!

Nowadays, Paleontologists dig bones or skeletons

of dinosaurs out of rock.

These are called fossils.

Leo: Wait. Fossils?

Paleontologists?

What are those?

Magic Globe: Well, fossils are bones or traces of plants

or animals that lived thousands or even millions of years ago.

A paleontologist is a scientist who studies

what life was like in the long distant past,

usually from digging up and studying fossils.

Have fun in Buenos Aires

and watch out for dinosaurs!

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Thanks, Magic Globe!

Leo: You don't think the Magic Globe meant to watch out

for real dinosaurs, do you?

Andy: Don't worry, Leo, the dinosaurs are long gone.

[bushes rustling]

Leo: Then what is that?

Luna: Rarrrrawwww!

[stomp]

Hi, friends!

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Luna!

Carmen: ♪ Luna come and play!

Leo: ♪ Luna's here what do you say? ♪

Andy: ♪ Luna, bright as day!

Carmen/Andy/Leo: ♪ Show us the world, lead the way! ♪

Luna: Welcome to Buenos Aires, friends!

Ooo, what have you got there, Andy?

Andy: It's a tooth I found, Luna!

And I think it's from a dinosaur!

Luna: Hmmm, yes, you might be right.

It could be from a dinosaur.

Andy: Really? But which one?

A T-Rex?

It sure looks like it's from an enormous meat eater!

Luna: I dunno, but I have a friend

at the Museum of Natural History who would know.

You might even be able to donate that tooth.

Andy: Donate?

What does that mean?

Luna: It's when you give away something

so that other people can enjoy it,

in this case, in a museum.

Andy: Give away my dinosaur tooth?

I don't know.

Luna: [laughter] Well, I'm sure you'll figure out

what's right for you.

Andy: Okay, Luna.

But this museum sounds awesome.

Let's go!

Luna: Welcome to the Bernardino Rivadavia

Natural Science Museum!

Andy: Woooww!

This is awesome!

Look at all these dinosaur bones!!

Luna: C'mon, Andy, there's someone I want you to meet.

Ruben, where are you?

Ruben?

Ruuuuuubennn?

Ruben: Aaaaghhh! Luna/Carmen/Andy/Leo: Aaaaghhh!

Ruben: Luna? You startled me.

I see you brought friends and--hmmmmm?

Luna: I sure did, Ruben.

This is Andy, Carmen and--

Ruben: What is this?

Andy: This? I found it

while digging around the circo today.

We were hoping you could tell us more about it.

I think it's a dinosaur tooth!

Ruben: May I--? Andy: Sure.

Ruben: Yes, it's a tooth all right.

And sharp.

That probably means he's a--

Andy: Wait!! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Andy/Ruben: A meat eater!

Andy: So, if it's a big meat eater, could it be a T-Rex?

Ruben: Well--that would be remarkable since

no T-Rex skeletons have been found in South America.

But definitely a dinosaur and quite the meat eater.

I'll know for sure with more study.

But it will have to wait until I finish our new exhibit.

You're just in time!

It opens later today!

Andy: Your exhibit is this dinosaur skeleton?

What kind is it?

Ruben: I'm not quite sure yet.

I need to finish putting the fossils together.

Luna: Paleontologists like Ruben, find and dig up fossils

so we can all enjoy them!

Andy: Hold on! You mean

you don't keep what you find?

Ruben: Keep the fossils? For myself? Of course not!

We bring them to the museum so everyone can learn about them!

Which reminds me-- I'd better get back to putting

my mystery dinosaur together for the exhibition tonight!

Luna: C'mon guys, let's let Ruben finish his work.

Thanks, Ruben!

Carmen/Leo: Bye, Mr. Ruben!

Andy: But Mr. Ruben, wait!

Luna: Andy?

Andy: Mr. Ruben!

If I help you put this together

maybe you can examine my tooth more closely like you said?

Whoa--whoa!

Ruben: Andy!

Andy: Whoaaahh!

Ahhh!! [bam!]

Ahhh!! [bam!]

[bam!] Ughh--

[gasps]

Luna/Carmen/Leo: [gasp] Ruben: [gasps]

Luna: [gasps]

Andy: Whew.

[crash!]

Andy: Oh, no! What have I done?

Ruben: Ahhhhh! The exhibit!

The opening is tonight! What am I going to do?

Andy: I'm sorry, Mr. Ruben.

Luna: Y'know guys, I think if we all pitch in,

we can reassemble this skeleton by tonight's opening.

Ruben: What? How?

Luna: Never underestimate a group of dinosaur nuts.

What do you say we get to it?

You figured out what kind of dinosaur it is?

It looks like a T-Rex to me!

Ruben: Even better than a T-Rex, Andy my boy!

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to introduce

from millions of years ago,

the amazing, the colossal--

Giganotosaurus!

Andy: Giganotosaurus?

Not a T-Rex?

Ruben: Andy, do you realize what an amazing find this is?

It's history!

And you might enjoy knowing, Andy,

that this dinosaur is even larger than the T-Rex!

Andy: Larger than the T-Rex!

Ruben: Yes! The Gigantosaurus

is one of the largest meat eaters of all time

and it's found right here in Argentina.

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Whoa--

Ruben: Well thanks for all the help, everyone!

You did an amazing job!

Now it's time to open the exhibit!

Luna: Wait!

His smile-- something's wrong with his smile.

Ruben: You're right, Luna.

The Giganotosaurus doesn't usually have such a big gap

there in the front of his mouth.

There's definitely a tooth missing.

Ruben: What do you think, Dino-buddy?

Andy: Yup, looks like it's missing a tooth.

Ruben: Yeah, a missing tooth.

Andy: Hmmm--too bad you didn't find this missing tooth.

Ruben: Yah, too bad.

Andy: Hmm--I wonder what size the missing tooth would be?

Ruben: Probably-- That size.

Andy: Uh? Wait, are you saying--this?

This might be your missing tooth?

Ruben: That's exactly what I'm saying!

The more I look at it, the more I think

it might be a Giganotosaurus tooth.

And if that's true, we'll have a complete skeleton

to share with the world!

Ohhhh--this is so cool!

Andy: Oh yeah, I guess it would be cool--

Ruben: Go put your tooth up there, see if it fits!

Andy: But, I wasn't actually planning on giving it away.

Ruben: Oh--you want to keep it?

Andy: I mean, it's just that--

I've never had a tooth from a real dinosaur before!

It makes me feel like I'm living in the time of the dinosaurs!

Ruben: Oh, yes-- I understand, Andy.

No problem.

That's why I love sharing my discoveries with the world,

because other people feel that way too.

And speaking of sharing, it's time to open the exhibit.

I'd better let the people in.

Andy: Hmm--

♪ [sad music]

Mr. Ruben, wait!

Andy: I want to donate the tooth to the museum.

Ruben: Oh, Andy. Do you mean it?

Andy: I thought about what you said

about sharing it with the world.

I mean, you're sharing this whole skeleton!

I would feel bad keeping this one tooth to myself.

Ruben: Thank you so much for your donation!

You have the makings of a true paleontologist.

Let's see if this is really the missing tooth!

It's a perfect fit!

Andy: Woohoo!

Ruben: The exhibit is complete! Go ahead Andy, open the curtain!

Andy: Ok!

Crowd: [crowd murmuring]

Ruben: Look, Andy! Everyone loves it!

Well, a paleontologist never rests.

I'm off to another dig.

Maybe this Giganotosaurus has a big brother!

Carmen/Andy/Leo: Bye, Mr. Ruben!

Carmen: Well Argentina is definitely the place

for amazing dinosaur adventures.

Andy: Yeah, thanks for introducing us

to Mr. Ruben, Luna.

Luna?

Luna! There you are!

Luna: Did you have a good time in Buenos Aires,

Argentina today?

Andy: I sure did.

Luna: I love that you donated that tooth.

Andy: I didn't think there was anything better

than the T-Rex, but the Giganotosaurus is even cooler!

I bet there are even more amazing dinosaurs to learn about

in Buenos Aires, Luna.

Luna: There's more to learn in any city we visit, Andy.

But remember, there's always tomorrow.

♪ [whistling theme song]

T-Rex: Uaaaargh!

Carmen: Hi, it's Carmen with a tale from Argentina

called Five Ears of Corn.

Once, a mother sent her son to buy five ears of corn.

"Five and no more!" she said.

The boy, afraid he'd forget, went off down the road,

repeating, "Five and no more!!"

A potato farmer heard the boy

and thought he was making fun of him,

because growing only five potatoes

would be a terrible crop!

"Why would you even say that?" asked the farmer.

"You should say, 'I hope it's the biggest one ever!"

"Okay," repeated the boy, continuing down the road,

"I hope it's the biggest one ever!"

A man suffering from a headache heard the boy and said,

"You hope my headache is the biggest one ever?

That's not very nice!

You should be saying, 'I hope it goes away!"

"Got it," said the boy, heading off again,

"I hope it goes away!

Finally, the boy reached a shop,

where the shopkeeper was worrying

about his lack of business.

When the boy said, 'I hope it goes away!'

the shopkeeper cried, "What?

You hope my business goes away!"

He grabbed the first thing he could find,

which happened to be a bagful of corn,

and threw it at the boy, yelling,

"Well, I'd like you to go away!"

"Okay!" said the boy,

returning home and delivering the corn to his mom.

"Five and no more?" asked the mom.

"No more!" said the boy.

The End.

Carmen: "Way of the Gaucho"

End of the line, Hop Along Hopper!

You gonna come quietly?

Andy: Not likely, Sheriff.

Carmen: Well then, you leave me no choice.

Hi-ho, Bessie!

Awaaaay!

Andy: Ahhh! [bam!]

Leo: Yay, I'm free!

Andy: That was awesome!

Leo: Carmen, your lasso skills are mighty impressive!

Carmen: Aw, thanks Leo!

I've learned a heap from my

"How to Become an International Cowgirl" book.

Andy: You mean like cowgirls from the American west?

Carmen: Cowgirls are not just from the American west, Andy.

I've learned about cowgirls from all over the world!

Yes, there are cowgirls from America,

but also Jillaroos from Australia,

and Vaqueros from Mexico!

And from many more places,

including where we are today.

Magic Globe: That's right, Carmen!

Carmen: Hi, Magic Globe!

Magic Globe: Today we're in the city of Buenos Aires,

in the country of Argentina!

In Argentina, cowboys and cowgirls are called Gauchos!

They can be found herding livestock on ranchos

or on the grassy plains they call "pampas" in Argentina.

They can also be found participating

in local gaucho competitions,

where they show off their gaucho skills,

including an event called a Payada.

A Payada is a friendly competition

where two gauchos face off

to see who can make up the best lyrics

while playing their guitars.

But most importantly,

the way of the gaucho means having a deep connection

to one's horse, to nature,

and to the true spirit of Argentina.

Okay, kids!

Have fun learning the way of the gaucho!

Andy/Carmen/Leo: Thanks, Magic Globe!

Carmen: I read all about gauchos in my book!

And now that we're in Argentina,

I can put that gaucho knowledge into practice!

Luna: Aaaaahh! How do you stop this thing?

Leo: Look, it's Luna!

On a crazy horse!

Carmen: Wait, I read about this!

I'll get him to stop!

Carmen: Hey, horsey friend.

Stop please!

That horse trick you just did was amazing!

Hilario: It's not a trick, amigo.

It's the way of the gaucho.

Carmen: I've actually been reading all about gaucho ways!

I'm on my way to becoming one myself!

Hilario: I see.

Listen, uh, Carmen is it?

Becoming a gaucho requires more than just reading about it.

It's a way of life.

Bonding and becoming one with nature.

It must be experienced to find the true spirit

of Argentina and the way of the gaucho.

Carmen: I'm pretty sure I can find the way of the gaucho.

I'll show you.

Hilario: Bueno. There's a small gaucho competition

today at the rancho where I work.

Come along and we'll see what you got.

All right, then. To my rancho on the pampas!

Carmen: Yay! I'm so excited!

Hilario: So, you think you got what it takes

to fill those gaucho boots?

Carmen: I got what it takes and then some.

Hilario: Sure you do.

Come meet the horse you'll be riding.

His name is Toncho.

Toncho: EEEHHHHH!

Hilario: Toncho may not look it, but he's a smart one.

He brings out the best in any gaucho!

Toncho: [weird noises]

Carmen: Oh, boy.

Hilario: Luna, you mind being the guest announcer

for our gaucho competition?

Uh-- Hang on, folks, looks like

she's still perfecting her technique.

Back to Hilario!

Here he comes for his turn at

"The Ring Game" or "La Sortijal"

While riding at a full gallop,

he is going to thread a stick,

no larger than a pencil, through a tiny ring

hanging way down at the end of the track!

Let's see how he does-- [galloping]

[clink] Luna: He did it!

What a gaucho!

Carmen: All right Toncho,

we haven't done so good today,

so let's turn it around right here, right now.

Andy: Woah!

Carmen, come back!

Carmen: Toncho!

Slow down!

Where are we going Toncho?

♪ [soft peaceful music]

Carmen: It really is beautiful out here on the pampas.

I can see why connecting with nature

is so important to gauchos.

[sighs] But I guess I'm just a gaucho wannabe.

Toncho: That's not the way I see it.

Carmen: Wha?

Who, who said that?

Toncho: I did-- Toncho the Horse.

Carmen: T-Toncho? You talk?

Toncho: I do more than talk.

I listen--and watch.

And, Carmen, you have what it takes

to become a gaucho most grande.

That's why I brought you out here.

Carmen: Really?

I sure don't feel like I have it in me.

Toncho: I have seen many a fair gaucho in my day.

Believe me when I say,

you are bound for gaucho greatness.

Carmen: I don't know.

Gauchos are great riders,

good with boleadoras,

and they're supposed to bond with nature.

Toncho: You do realize you're

talking to a horse right now.

Carmen: Oh, yeah!

I guess I am bonding with nature!

Toncho: See, you're already

more of a gaucho than you thought!

You see, Carmen,

being a gaucho is more than just

fancy riding and sweet tricks.

It's about the Argentine Spirit of freedom,

and finding your own Way of the Gaucho.

Carmen: You're right, Toncho!

Maybe I just need to find my own way.

Toncho: That's the spirit!

Now, let's get back to the rancho!

The final gaucho test is right up your alley.

Carmen: Let's ride!
