[RATTLING]

Way up high in the Rolie Polie sky

Is a little round planet
Of a really nice guy

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

He's Rolie Polie Olie
He's small and smart and round

And in the land of curves and curls
He's the swellest kid around

-Howdy
-Howdy

-Hooray
-Hooray

And in the land of curves and curls
He's the swellest kid around

He's Rolie Polie Olie
He's small and smart and round

And in the land of curves and curls
He's the swellest kid around

-Howdy
-Howdy

-Hooray
-Hooray

And in the land of curves and curls
He's the swellest kid around

-And in the land of curves and curls
-He's the swellest kid

The swellest kid around

[ALL CHEER]

-[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
-[BALL BOUNCING]

-Shop, shop, shop. [GIGGLING]
-[BARKING]

What you shopping for, Mom?

We're going to get some new shoes for Zow.

-New red shoes, Mommy?
-Any old color you'd like, sweetie.

Rainybow, rainybow, rainybow shoes!

-[ZOWIE GIGGLING]
-[LAUGHS]

-[WHISTLES]
-[GIGGLES]

-OLIE: What are you smiling about, Dad?
-[SIGHS] I was just thinking.

Your mom looks as young
as the day I met her.

Do you look the same, too?

Well, I... I don't know, Olie.
I never thought about it much.

[SIGHING] Well, uh,
I'm no springy chicken, Spot.

Just don't look as young as I used to.

Hmm. Maybe if I tried...

-[WHIMPERS]
-...great rolling doughnuts!

That's a little too young.

-[BARKS]
-[CHUCKLES] I look just like Gizmo.

And one Gizmo in the family's plenty.
[IMITATING GIZMO] Thank you very much.

-[SQUEAKING]
-[YIPPING]

-[SPOT HOWLING]
-Yikes!

I think you're right, Spot.

I doubt that would even fit
through the door.

[WHIMPERS]

[SIGHS] A new hairdo isn't the answer,
I'm afraid.

I know.

Well, that did the trick.
I look younger already.

[GASPS] Dad, stop!
You forgot your glasses.

-[GASPS]
-Oh, I didn't forget them, Olie.

I took them off. For good.

PERCY: Huh?

Gee-willikers. D'ya think
that's a good idea, Dad?

You betcha! Taking off my specs
took ten years right off.

Whoa.

-But don't you need those to see?
-No problem.

If I don't use my glasses, my eyesight
is bound to improve.

Why, I think I'm seeing better already,
Olie.

-[SPOT WHIMPERS]
-You coming down with a cold, son?

[SIGHS]

I'm fine, Dad. But you should
really wear them.

No buts. Got to get on with my day.

Now put these in my room for me,
will you, Olie?

[SPOT WHIMPERS]

[SIGHS] Come on, Spot.

We got to make sure Dad
doesn't get into trouble.

PERCY: Hmm.

-Hmm.
-Uh, what you doing, Dad?

Thought I'd check the weather on Telly,
but I just can't seem

to get the volume up.

Looks like there's snow in the forecast.

Odd for this time of year.

Why, Telly! You're as cold as ice.

Better get in my tool kit
and see what's chilling your chips.

[PHONE RINGING]

-PERCY: Hello?
-Huh?

Hello?

Hello?

Strange. Nobody there.

I'll be in the garage,
if you need me, Olie.

[THUDS]

-PERCY: Whoops! Missed a step there.
-[SIGHS]

Hmm. This is no place for Spot's ball.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Nelly!

-Dad!
-[BARKS]

Whoa!

[CRASHING]

Now, that is one bouncy ball.

Uh... you okay, Dad?

[GRUNTS] Yuppers.

[SIGHS] Could you give me a hand, Olie?

Whoa! [SCREAMING]

No problem. I wanted to wax
the lawn first thing.

[YELLING]

-Follow that polisher!
-[SPOT BARKING]

Whoa! [GROANS]

-[GRUNTS] Whoa!
-Gee-whiz, Spot.

PERCY: [GRUNTS] Whoa! Oh.

I don't re... remember the... the backyard
being so bumpy before.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Ooh!

I think that's enough lawn polishing
for... [GULPS] ...now.

[SIGHS] These inflatable chairs sure
are swell.

A siesta on the old Polie patio is just
the ticket.

Jumping Jupiters!
What are we going to do, Spot?

Mom will know. Come on.

And Dad thought he looked too old
with his glasses.

And he bounced super high
on the trampoline

-and he landed on...
-Daddy ride blimpy! [GIGGLING]

-POLINA: Oh, my!
-[INDISTINCT]

Everyone into Coupy. I'll alert Pappy,
and we'll get Dad off.

Hmm, might breezy
in the old backyard today.

Maybe I should head inside
for my next round of chores.

Let's see now. I could give Toasty
a crumb cleaning,

but I haven't fixed
Telly's temperature problem yet.

Hmm, awful quiet around here.

PAPPY: Hold on tight to the railing.
I'm bringing her down!

Pappy?

-W... what's all the commotion about?
-Oh, well, you're on my fishing porch

and ten miles above Polieville,
you silly bot.

[CHUCKLES] Now how did you tricksters
get me up here?

-[SIGHS]
-Oh.

Well, Pappy, thanks for the ride in Homey.

-Sure was fun!
-[MOOING]

Gee, Pappy, you sound like
you're coming down with a cold, too.

[CHUCKLES] Doggone it, Percy,
you pumped enough ice cream

out of old Precious to cool down
half of Polieville.

Looks like someone needs a new, oh,
I mean, an old point of view.

There.

Not only can you see better, but you look
so darn handsome, too.

[SIGHS]

-Now I remember why I wear these, babies.
-POLINA: Aw!

-[CLEARS THROAT]
-Gee-willikers. Ice cream, anybody?

You betcha, Olie.

-Huh? Now... now, where'd he go?
-[ALL LAUGHING]

[MILD-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING]

Okay, everyone. Here are your parts
for the class play.

Beauty and the Beastbot.

Gee-willikers. I'm going
to be the Beastbot.

I'm going to be the castle guard.

I'm going to be Beauty.

Bouncing blocks.

You and Pollie sure have a lot of lines
to learn, Olie.

Yep, it's going to be a lot of work,
but I'll give it my best Rolie Polie try.

Me, too. This is going to be such fun.

[SCOFFS] My job is going
to be the most fun.

I get to build props and stuff.

I don't have to memorize any dopey lines.
[LAUGHING]

Aah, don't listen to Screwy.
This is going to be great.

OLIE: Roar. I can't wait to play
the beast.

BILLY: Being the guard is going
to be totally cubular.

[BILLY GASPING]

Uh, Olie?

Are you really sure you want to play
the Beastbot?

You betcha. I get to growl and snarl
and...

-Hold hands with Beauty.
-What?

-And tell her, "I love you."
-Whoa!

Where does it say that?

Oh, no. That's... that's...

-yucky.
-Yucky.

What am I going to do, Billy?

Well, you're going to have
to get married first, I guess.

-Married?
-Sure.

If you say I love you to a girl
and hold her hand

you've got to marry her.
I think it's the law.

[SIGHS] If I say those lines, all the kids
will tease me forever.

Can I be your Bestest bot at the wedding?

I'm not getting married, Billy.

SCREWY: Well, if it isn't Polie
and Bevel.

Uh, nuts and bolts. It's Screwy.

Are you guys practicing your lines?
Do you need any help rehearsing?

Gee, Screwy, that's really nice, but...

[IMITATES POLLIE] Jeepers, Olie,
do you want to hold my hand

and tell me you love me, or something?
[LAUGHS]

Hey, where are you and Pollie-pooh going
for your honeymoon?

[SCREWY LAUGHING]

Howdy, Olie.

-Howdy, Pappy.
-[BARKS]

What's got you in the downy dumps?

-I got the lead part in the class play.
-[WHIMPERS]

That sounds pretty exciting.

I was excited, Pappy, until...

Ah, you've got to hold Beauty's hand
and say, "I love you," huh?

-[WHINES]
-Thing to remember is

it's not you saying it, Olie.

It's not? Who is it?

It's the Beastbot.

-But, Pappy, I play the Beastbot.
-Exactly. You play him.

Why, you're just pretending
to be the Beastbot.

Look, Olie, the Beastbot is one
of the heroes of the play.

And heroes have to be brave and fearless.

Haven't you ever dreamed of being a hero,
Olie?

Argh! Hand over my treasure,
Pirate Screw Beard.

-Never! Aargh.
-[GRUNTS]

-Give up, Captain Olie?
-Never!

Har, the treasure's mine once again.

Captain Olie. You're my hero.

And I love you. Want to hold hands, huh?
Want to?

I win! Har, har, har.

POLLIE: Olie. Olie.

-Oh, come on in, Pollie.
-Thank you, Pappy.

Hi, Olie. Did you finish reading
the script?

-Um, yeah. It's, um, kind of...
-Yucky.

It says we have to hold hands
and say, "I love you."

-You don't want to do it, either?
-No way. Everyone will laugh at us.

Look, it'll take a big chunk of courage

to stand up in front of people
and say those lines, but, uh

I think you're just the bots for the job.

BOTH: You do?

I've never seen you two shy away
from a challenge yet.

What do you say?

I say...

-Ready to read, Beauty?
-You betcha, Mr. Beastbot.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Now, there's a couple of real heroes.

[GRUNTS]

[AUDIENCE MURMURING]

-BILLY: Are you nervous, Olie?
-[GASPS]

OLIE: Um, uh, a little.

-Hey, you look swell, Billy.
-Thanks, Olie.

You, too.

Except that keeps happening.

Gee, you look great, too, Pollie.

-Thanks.
-SCREWY: Hey, Olie.

Aren't you supposed to hold her hand
when you say stuff like that? [LAUGHS]

-It's not funny, Screwy.
-[LAUGHS]

Yeah, why don't you go tighten a bolt,
or something.

Oh, yeah? Well, just wait.
'Cause every bot will be laughing

at you two lovebirds soon enough.

-[LAUGHS]
-Time to take your places.

We're about to start.
Is everybody ready?

Oh, I sure am, Miss Triangle.

Thanks, Olie.

Don't worry, you guys are going
to be great.

Aah, bouncing blocks.

Oh, no! Here comes the Beastbot!

-[GROWLS] Why aren't you at your post?
-[AUDIENCE GASPING]

-Aah! The Beastbot! Help!
-[AUDIENCE CHUCKLING]

It's a very n... nice place
you have here, Mr. B... Beastbot.

So? [ROARS]

-[CROWD GASPING]
-[SHIVERING]

Uh, at first I was scared of you,
but now I see that deep down,

you're the nicest person I know.

Uh, I feel the same way about you, Beauty.

BOTH: Well, I just wanted to say...

-BOTH: I love you!
-[DRUMROLL]

[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]

-Yay!
-We did it!

That was totally cubular.

[SCOFFS] If it's that easy to get people
to cheer

next time I'm going to be the star.

Maybe you should be the star now, Screwy.

[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]

[ALL LAUGH]

Well, you guys got the biggest cheer,
but I got the biggest laugh.

[LAUGHS]

[RATTLING]

Okey-dokey, Dad. That ought to do it.

We built the first-ever, voice-activated
milk-and-cookie-serving Bot-ler.

PERCY: It's got everything, all right.
two super strong mechano-arms,

a nifty serving tray
and a handy-dandy microphone

to give it instructions. And best of all,
Olie, it was all your idea.

Thanks, Dad. It's going to be the bestest
show-and-tell project ever.

Howdy, Olie.

Is that your voice server activate, uh,
I mean, the cookies and milkerator, um...

-What is it, again?
-[CHUCKLES]

Maybe we'll just call it Bot-ler
for short.

-So, how does it work?
-Come on. I'll show you.

Mom, Zowie, ready
for your afternoon snack?

Yeah. Ready and waiting, Olie.

-[GIGGLES]
-[CLEARS THROAT]

Bot-ler, bring some milk and cookies
to Mom and Zowie, please.

BOT-LER: [RATTLES, BEEPS]
Bring milk and cookies.

Excuse me, sir. [BEEPING]
Pardon me, ma'am.

-It certainly is very polite.
-BOT-LER: Please, thank you. [HISSING]

[BEEPING]

-BOT-LER: Please.
-Thank you.

-BOT-LER: Please.
-POLINA: Thank you.

BOT-LER: Excuse me.

Thank you.

-Wow! What a nifty invention.
-And now that you're done, sweetie,

you've got time to pick up
all your toys in the yard

-while we take Zowie over to visit Binky.
-Okey-dokey, Mom.

I'll help you pick up your toys, Olie.

Wouldn't it be great if Bot-ler
could pick up toys, too?

It could, if we tell it to.

Bot-ler, pick up the toys, please.

BOT-LER: Pick up toys.

Pick up toys. [WHIRRING]

Pick up toys.

Wow! Our very own toy picker-upper.

-[SPOT BARKING, WHINING]
-BOT-LER: Excuse me, sir.

Pardon me, ma'am.

-Please?
-[SPOT WHIMPERING]

-BOT-LER: Pick up toys.
-[SPOT YELPING]

-[WHIMPERS]
-[DOOR OPENING]

BILLY: Spot, old buddy, you okey-dokey?

I don't think he likes Bot-ler very much.

[WHIMPERS]

-Huh?
-BOT-LER: Pick up toys. Thank you.

-Pick up toys.
-Gee-willikers

-Bot-ler wasn't supposed to do that.
-We did tell it to pick up the toys, Olie.

Yeah, but we didn't mean all in one trip.

-Bot-ler, stop!
-BOT-LER: Pick up toys.

-[OLIE GASPING]
-Uh-oh!

[CRASHING]

Maybe we have to be clearer
with our instructions.

Okey-dokey.

Bot-ler, pick up all
the toys one by one

-and put them in my bedroom, please.
-BOT-LER: Pick up all toys, one by one

and put in bedroom.

Pick up toys. Pick up all toys.

OLIE: Hey! Bot-ler's throwing the toys
into my room.

You did tell it to put them there, Olie.
And that is the fastest way.

Bot-ler, carry all the toys inside Housey

and put them in my bedroom closet, please.

BOT-LER: Carry all toys and put in closet.

Carry all toys. [WHIRRING]

Put in closet.

-Excuse me, sir. Pardon me, ma'am.
-Looks like Bot-ler got the message.

While Bot-ler tidies up what do you say
we go rest our bolts, Billy?

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

I wonder how our super-duper
toy picker-upper's doing.

[RATTLING]

Hey, where'd all of Zowie's toys go?

OLIE: Bot-ler must have picked them up,
too.

BOT-LER: Thank you. [WHIRRING]

And all the toys in my room!

-[RUMBLING]
-OLIE: Oh, no!

Well, we did tell it to put all the toys
in your closet.

Okey-dokey, Billy.

This time we've got
to be super-duper clear

with our instructions.

We'll tell Bot-ler exactly what
to pick up, exactly where to put it...

And exactly when to stop.

Bot-ler, pick up the toys in the backyard
one by one, please.

Bring them inside Housey
and put them in my bedroom.

When the backyard is completely empty,
then stop.

BOT-LER: Pick up toys in backyard.

When yard is completely empty, stop.

Now it's working.

[SIGHS] It sure is neat having Bot-ler do
our work for us, huh?

I wonder what other chores we can get
it to do.

-BOT-LER: Pick up toys in backyard.
-[SPOT BARKING]

-Uh-oh.
-[WHIRRING]

BOT-LER: When backyard is empty, stop.

Oh, what's Bot-ler doing now?

-[GASPS]
-BOT-LER: When backyard is empty, stop.

-Excuse me, sir.
-Oh, no!

I told Bot-ler not to stop
till the backyard was completely empty.

-Bot-ler!
-BOTH: Come back!

BOT-LER: [WHIRRING] Excuse me.
When backyard is empty...

BOTH: Bot-ler, stop!

[WHIRRING]

Gosh, what do we do now, Olie?

Get my mom and dad, I guess.

BOT-LER: Get Mom and Dad. [WHIRRING]

OLIE: Wait, Bot-ler!
We'll get them ourselves! Stop!

PERCY: [LAUGHING] Whoa!

That's a humdinger of a crooked tree,
all right.

So, the Bot-ler did it, huh?

-[GIGGLES]
-No, Mom, we did it.

If we hadn't tried to get the Bot-ler
to do all our work for us...

None of this would have happened.

It's not too late to undo your boo-boo,
boys.

Leave the tree straightening to us, kids.
The rest of the tidying, that's up to you.

Let's get cracking.

[CHUCKLES] Well, uh... [CLEARS THROAT]
...after you, uh, tell the Bot-ler

to put us down, Olie.

Oops, sorry, Dad.

Bot-ler, put Mom and Dad down, please.

BOT-LER: Put Mom and Dad down.
[BEEPING]
