01x14 - The Real Decoy / Peep's Lost Leaf

[bunniefuu]

MAN: ♪ Well, it's a sunny day

♪ I feel brand-new

♪ There's about a million things that I could do ♪

♪ Whoa, would you like to...

♪ Do them, too?

♪ Yeah

♪ Well, it's a big wide world

♪ And it's waiting for me and you. ♪

( clapping to music )

♪ Let's look around

♪ What will we see?

♪ Round every corner, a discovery ♪

♪ Whoa, there's no place I'd... ♪

♪ Rather be

♪ Oh, yeah

♪ Well, it's a big wide world

♪ And it's waiting

♪ For me and you.

NARRATOR: Most of the time we expect things to be a certain way.

We expect the ground to be under our feet,

the sky to be up in the... sky,

and the sun to rise each morning.

( Peep straining )

( Quack yawns )

You won't believe how pretty the sunrise is, Quack.

There's red and blue and yellow

and orange and everything.

( yawning )

The sun, the moon-- it's all the same to me.

Hmm.

NARRATOR: But sometimes things don't happen

the way you expect.

Well?

The sun is supposed to...

it's supposed to be right there.

Hmm...

Uh-oh. Wh... wh...

Oh, boy! Whoa!

Whoa! Oh, boy!

( both scream )

Peep?

What happened?

Where are you?

Wh-where are you?

Here I am.

( giggling )

( giggling )

( gasps )

( giggling )

Peep?

What's the matter?

Duck... quack...

There, it's... it's... it's...

a duck!

( blowing )

Well, good morning, Madam.

( clears throat )

I said, greetings.

Good morning.

She's not answering, Quack.

I know that.

Just give her a chance.

Maybe she got hurt

when the boxes fell over.

( gasps )

Of course.

That's it!

Are you hurt, milady?

Can you answer me?

Just nod.

Poor thing.

Stay here.

I'll go get some water.

Don't move!

Hmm...

NARRATOR: Peep noticed several unusual things about Quack's new friend.

He noticed that no matter how long he stared,

the duck didn't blink.

Hmm.

NARRATOR: He also noticed

that the duck's body was hard and smooth--

not at all like Quack's.

( knocking )

Peep didn't understand how two ducks could be so different.

( straining )

Quack, are you sure this is a duck?

She doesn't look like you at all.

Of course she's a duck.

Don't you see the similarities?

The same steely gaze.

The majestic bill.

The noble breast.

I guess so.

She's not drinking.

Maybe she's hungry.

Hmm...

I've got a bread crust around here somewhere.

What bread crust?

( muffled quacking )

This one.

Where'd you get all that stuff?

Oh, you know... here and there.

( Quack grunts )

( stuff crashing )

Not drinking, not eating.

This is more serious than I thought.

You know, I think

we're going to have to take her

down to my pond.

How will we do that?

We'll have to push.

Come on, Peep, let's push.

( both straining )

That's it, Peep.

Harder.

Make like a duck and push.

Boy, she's a sturdy little filly, huh?

( both straining )

Must work out-- hard as a rock.

Come on, Peep!

( both straining )

NARRATOR: And so Peep and Quack pushed the sick duck

out of the dump, down the hill,

working as hard as they could, sweating mightily.

( Quack whistling )

Leaving no stone unturned.

Whoa!

I've got to take a break.

How about you, Peep?

( sighs )

Have you noticed how stiff her feathers are?

They never move.

I'm surprised at you, Peep.

We must be sensitive to the differences of others.

All right, enough dawdling!

Let's get this duck on the road.

( moans )

( yells )

Sick duck coming through.

You there!

Step lively.

Hmm.

Sorry about this.

You'll have to clear off for a while.

We've got a sick duck on our hands.

( inhales )

Hello there? Fish?

Yoo-hoo.

Hello there? Fish?

I don't want so much as a ripple on this pond,

if you please.

Come on, Peep.

One more heave, and she's in.

Let's go!

( both straining )

Look at that.

There she goes.

How's about it.

What a duck.

What a comeback.

Oh.

No, that can't be right.

Don't give up!

Use your feet!

Kick, I tell you!

Kick! Ki...

Hey, wait a second.

Where are your feet?

Hmm...

What is it?

No feet.

You know, Peep,

I'm starting to have my doubts.

I mean, if she doesn't eat, drink

swim or walk like a duck...

what kind of a duck is she?

Huh?

I don't know, Quack.

Hey, what's going on?

I've got a sick duck in my pond.

That's not a duck; that's a statue.

What?

What's a statue?

What's that?

Statues are fake people.

Birds sit on them.

But this is a statue of a duck.

So it's not real.

Not alive.

Oh... so that's why she couldn't eat or swim.

Just my luck:

the first duck I meet and she's a total dud.

Do people sit on fake birds?

I don't know, Peep.

I don't know what fake birds are for.

NARRATOR: Quack wasted no time in finding a use for the fake duck.

So what do you think?

It's my new "watch duck."

Yes, sirree.

No one's going to mess with this bush anymore.

NARRATOR: And so watch was kept over Quack's special collection--

through wind, snow and driving rain--

because things that aren't alive never get tired, cold or hungry,

unlike-- very unlike-- Quack.

( quacks )

Ta-dah!

( laughing )

GIRL: Otis!

BOY: That's Otis.

She has a tail.

And she has a black nose.

BOY: We're noticing what Otis looks like.

Big ears.

She's fuzzy.

BOY: And we are making little models of Otis with clay--

not really big dogs.

Mini-dogs.

This is the way I make fur: I just rub my toothpick.

CHILD: Look at Otis.

She's standing up.

BOY: Toothpicks don't look like Otis's real legs,

but they help our models to stand up.

It kind of looks like Otis, but it needs black and brown.

( pretends to bark )

Now we're going to make sculptures of... birds.

GIRL: They're kind of green and yellow.

They have a little black on them,

and their eyes are black

and their beaks are kind of tanish.

BOY: We are noticing all kinds of things about the birds.

I made the shape, the color.

I made wings, I made a tail.

I made a beak, I made eyes.

I made green on the bottom.

I think it does look like a bird.

BOY: Our bird models have the same color as the real birds.

Try making a clay model of a favorite animal or pet.

NARRATOR: It was a cool, breezy, perfect day.

Peep, Chirp and Quack were watching leaves fall.

( wind blowing, leaves crackling )

( group laughing )

QUACK: Loopy-loo! Ha-ha!

( Chirp giggling )

PEEP: Woo-hoo!

( Peep and Chirp giggling, Quack mumbling )

( grunting )

( giggles )

Oh, my hat.

Oh, boy.

( giggling and mumbling )

PEEP: Hmm?

QUACK: Hmm?

( Quack gasps )

( more giggling )

Huh?

( Peep giggles )

ALL: Hmm?

Don't you know it's not polite

to stare at a cat?

Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

( yawns )

Ahh!

Quack, quack.

Ahh! Quack!

Ahh! Ahh!

Hmm...

( Tom meows )

How did you get it back?

I told that cat,

"You give me my hat right now, cat!"

He would never think of messing with a duck.

( scoffs )

Oh, all right.

I ran onto his head, grabbed it and ran away

as fast as my little webbed feet could carry me.

( wind blowing )

( gasps )

Hmm?

Huh?

Look-- it's perfect!

Have you ever seen anything so...

Oh!

Colors!

Help me take it home over the hill.

Oh, uh, I'd like to help you, Peep,

but I just had a daring adventure with a cat.

And I need to conserve energy

for my next exploit.

That's okay.

I understand.

Peep understands.

( wind blowing )

NARRATOR: As Peep anbig leaf,

a strong wind began to blow.

Whoa! Whoa!

NARRATOR: Peep didn't know that wind could take some unexpected turns.

( wind blowing )

Whoa! Whoa!

Peep!

You were flying!

( grunting )

Don't let go!

Ahh! Ahh!

CHIRP: There it is!

Ahh! Ahh!

Shh.

Let's not make him mad.

It's his garden.

Hi.

Just passing through to get our leaf.

( both gasp )

We've got it.

Oh, no!

( Quack grunting )

Hey! Whoa!

Hello! Feeling around. Hello!

Quack, you caught it!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

( sighs disappointedly )

PEEP: Quack!

Oh, no! Ahh!

CHIRP: Quick, Quack-- catch the leaf.

( yells, then grunts )

Got it!

That's not it.

( Quack spitting )

Ah, quack.

It's big and orange and gold and...

There!

( Quack grunts, then giggles )

You go that way, and I'll go this way.

( gasps )

I got it, I got it!

Ahh!

I'm flying.

( Chirp giggling )

I'm flying.

Yay!

( grunts )

( Quack panting )

Is it one of these?

No, it's up there.

I see it.

Quack, quack.

Hmm?

PEEP: Hey!

The wind stopped.

Then why is the leaf still moving?

( wind blows, Peep grunts )

Hmm?

There's no wind right here.

How does that work?

Hmm...

Don't you want to catch your leaf?

Oh, right.

( wind blowing, all straining )

( weathervane rattling )

Which way do we go now?

Hmm...

( weathervane creaks )

Hey, thanks, weathervane.

( grunts )

Got it!

Let's go.

QUACK: I've learned something today.

Leaves don't taste so good.

Don't open your mouth.

CHIRP: Almost home.

PEEP: Stop here.

You can rest.

( grunts, then exhales )

Good.

Rest.

Whew.

Hmm...

( gasps )

Peep!

You let it get away.

Yeah, that's what I wanted to do all along.

PEEP: It's a perfect blowing leaf,

and from up here,

we can watch it go forever.

Makes sense, I guess.

Makes Peep sense.

NARRATOR: Peep, Quack and Chirp watched the leaf blow

until it was so far away they couldn't see it anymore.

( Peep sighs )

Does it get any better than this?

GIRL: This is me, Tessa and Grace.

It's a very windy day.

The leaves are flying all around in the wind.

Now we're raking the leaves into a big pile.

The wind is blowing the leaves all around

and it's kind of hard to rake them all into one place.

Grace is trying to stop our pile from blowing away.

When our pile was over there,

the wind wasn't helping us, because it was blowing our pile.

GIRL: The wind is actually helping us make a pile

by blowing all the leaves against the garage door.

TESSA: It's a good thing we put it here,

because the wind can't blow it anymore.

GIRL: These leaves aren't blowing away now.

( giggling )

We can see that different leaves do different things in the wind.

The green leaf is very floppy.

But the brown leaf was very stiff in the wind.

We attached a leaf to a little car.

It's a sail car.

The wind is moving our sail car right down the sidewalk.

Try playing with leaves and things outside on a windy day.
