01x27 - The Great Pretender

Post by bunniefuu »

Oh! Jumpin' Jupiter!

It's good to see you.

I was just imagining

what we do when you got here.

Do you like to use your imagination?

It's fun to pretend you can be somewhere else

or someone else and your friends can pretend too!

M.A.R.T.I.E. has a problem today.

He doesn't know how to pretend or use his imagination.

Do you think we can help him?

Hmm, can you try?

Come on! The fun is about to start!

(bright orchestral music begins)

♪ Here comes Dooley, from a planet far away ♪

♪ His home was way up in the sky ♪

♪ Where Dooley used to play ♪

♪ He's come from far beyond the stars ♪

♪ To make some brand new friends ♪

♪ So now it's time to learn and play with Dooley and Pals! ♪

♪ Dooley, Dooley, Dooley and Pals! ♪

♪ Yay, Dooley! ♪

♪ He made a friend out of you and me, Dooley and Pals! ♪

♪ Yay! ♪

- That was a great book.

And stories about wishing are my favorite.

- Yeah. Can you imagine finding a genie in a magic lamp?

- I would love to find a magic lamp.

I get three wishes, then I can wish for anything I wanted.

- But what would you wish for?

- Hey, we can pretend this is a magic lamp.

Whoever rubs it, gets a wish.

- One wish, huh?

But what we wish for?

- Anything we want.

- Okay. Nick, you're holding the lamp.

Now what are you going to wish for?

- Hm, let me think.

I'm going to have to use my imagination on this one.

I love using my imagination.

Let's see what's inside my head.

(dreamy harpsichord music)

I can hear the crowds cheering already.

(crowds cheering in the distance)

(dream harpsichord music fades away)

The Three Wishes

- Cool. I imagined I was a pro basketball player

and I just scored for my team.

- Hey Nick!

Uh, what are you talking about?

- No, I don't see any basketball game.

- I was using my imagination.

You know, pretending.

We're pretending we found a magic lamp.

When we rub it, we get our wish.

Nick pretended his wish came true.

- And you can wish for anything, when you pretend.

(children clapping and cheering)

- Then he granted them three wishes.

Hmm, I wonder

what would it be like if we could have three wishes

for anything in the universe?

- Sigh, I wish we could be in that story.

( magical shimmering chimes)

( bubbles popping)

- Oh, I am in the story of the three wishes.

- [Cosmos] Zoom, Zoom!

- Cosmos! Over here!

- Oh, Zoom! I just met a magic wishing fish

and he gave us three wishes.

What should we wish for?

- Wow. Three wishes.

Hm, let's take our time and think about this.

- Hm. - Hm.

- Oh, I know!

I wish I had a beautiful k'nurple.

- No, no no!

(magical shimmering chimes)

- Ah! What have you done?

You just wasted a wish on a k'nurple!

And what is it doing on my nose?

(Cosmos giggles)

- Well, I was just thinking of how much

you like the smell of k'nurples.

- Oh, this is horrible!

And we only have two wishes left.

(Cosmos guffaws)

- How does your k'nurple smell, Zoom?

(Cosmos guffaws)

(kazoo whistles)

(pen scribbling)

(cymbals crash)

(fluttering music)

Letter of the Day

(magical bells chime)

- Howdy do, all!

- [Everyone] Hey, Mrs. Z!

- What are you kids up to today?

- We're pretending we found a magic lamp.

- Yeah, we were making believe we each had one wish

and we were trying to figure out what we'd wish for.

- Oh, that must be why your letter of the day

is W for 'wish'.

- Ooh, And W is also for...

...wonderful!

Wishing is truly, Dooley wonderful!

- And W is for 'want'.

We wish for what we want.

- And if I could have anything I wanted,

I'd want to live in the rain forest.

I visited the rainforest once and it was...

- Wonderful?

- Wonderful! Would you like to hear about it?

- [Everyone] Yes!

(Mrs. Z giggles)

- Well, I'd love to stay

but I better make like a genie and disappear!

- Hey Mrs. Z, are those my Picture Pals for today?

- They truly, Dooley are!

- Thank you!

- You're welcome!

- Gotta run! But you know you'll see me tomorrow.

- Oh! Woogley wog, Mrs. Z!

(children laugh)

- Well, that's how we say good-bye on my home planet.

- Oh! Well, woogley wog, Dooley!

Woogley wog, everyone!

- [Everyone] Woogley wog, Mrs. Z!

(Dooley hums)

- Ah, simmering sun spots!

- [Dooley] This picture from Alex is universally amazing!

And Katherine sent in this Dooley-rific drawing.

Amazing asteroids!

Look at this picture from Jackie!

Thanks, Picture Pals!

- Hey kids!

When we use our imagination,

we can pretend to be anything we want to be.

Take a look at this!

What Would I Wish For

- Okay, Ashley, it's your turn to rub the lamp.

What are you going to wish for?

- Hm, if I could wish for anything,

what would I wish for?

- [Ashley] I know, I'd be a championship race car driver!

- (dreamy harpsichord music)

(engines roaring)

- [Ashley] I'd jump in my car

and put the pedal to the metal.

I can feel the wind against my face as I take the curves.

Going faster and faster,

heading for the finish line.

I'm almost there, I wanna win.

Push the pedal down

as I hit the straightaway even faster.

And I'm across the finish line!

(crowds cheer)

- [Ashley] I win!

(dreamy harpsichord music fades)

- Thank you, thank you!

- I bet you could be a race car driver someday, Ashley.

- You think?

- Sure! If that's what you really want to be,

and you work hard and practice.

- I guess I could.

- Ooh! I'm ready! Is it my turn now?

- Your turn for what?

- Ooh! For wishing, M.A.R.T.I.E.!

- Hm.

- I'd wish for...

...oh! A beautiful spaceship!

(M.A.R.T.I.E. chuckles)

- Huh? Oh! I have that already.

Hm, ah, I'd wish for wonderful friends!

Doh! I have those too!

(Dooley and M.A.R.T.I.E. laughs)

- Indeed, flew boo.

(M.A.R.T.I.E.'s computer system chirps)

- Uh, I mean, indeed you do.

- Hey! Can you show me that wishing stuff again?

- Sure.

If, I could wish for anything,

I'd wish to be a cowboy on the range.

(dreamy harpsichord music)

- (Chris) I'd take real good care of my horse.

(rooster crowing)

(goats bleating)

(horse clomping)

- [Chris] We'd hit the trail every day.

(horse whinnies)

(rooster crows)

- [Chris] And I'd do the best rope tricks in the West.

(dreamy harpsichord music fades)

- Pretending is cool. That was so much fun.

- Ooh! I want to pretend! I want to pretend!

Pretending

- Go ahead, M.A.R.T.I.E.

You have the magic lamp. What do you want to pretend?

- Hm well.

The rainforest sounded steely twice.

(M.A.R.T.I.E's computer system dings and chirps)

- I mean uh, really nice.

I'd like to go there.

- Go for it, M.A.R.T.I.E.

(metal clangs)

- Nothing.

- Keep trying, M.A.R.T.I.E.

- No rainforest.

- Concentrate, M.A.R.T.I.E.

Pretend you're right there in the rain forest.

- Picture a rainforest in your head.

- Try to smell the smells and hear the rainforest sounds.

- Imagine monkeys, tree frogs, parrots.

- Sometimes you just have to let everything go

and just imagine.

(M.A.R.T.I.E. inhales deeply)

- Monkeys! Parrots! Frogs!

(M.A.R.T.I.E. struggles and catches his breath)

- Marty is trying to pretend that he's in the rainforest

but he's having a little trouble.

Do you like to pretend?

What do you do when you pretend?

(Cosmos breathing heavily)

- Cosmos?

- Yes, Zoom?

- I know you tried and tried and tried

to get this k'nurple off my nose,

but it's not working.

- Well we could cover up the k'nurple.

You'd hardly notice it.

I can barely even see it.

- Oh! I have an idea.

I'll use your second wish.

- Oh, you want to use our second wish?

But Zoom, that would leave us with one wish.

- Cosmos, look at my nose!

- Maybe using the second wish

isn't such a bad idea after all.

- Okay.

I'm wishing, I'm wishing.

(chimes shimmering)

- Oh, Zoom! What have you done?

(Zoom cackles)

- Well, I got the wishing

and decided it would be kind of fun

if you had a k'nurple too!

Fun Facts

(Zoom laughs)

- And I was right!

(Zoom laughs)

- Oh, Zoom. Now what are we going to do?

You use our second wish

and now we both have k'nurples on our noses.

- Yes, but now I don't feel so bad.

Oh, you should see yourself, Cosmos.

(Cosmos cackles)

(Zoom grunts frustratingly)

(mechanical whirring)

(mechanical whirring intensifies)

(cymbals crashing)

(whimsical music)

- Today's fun facts are about imagination.

- Pretending, imagining, and make-believe are all ways

we can make impossible things happen.

- Pretending is a great way to exercise your brain.

(whimsical music)

(Dooley and M.A.R.T.I.E. knocking on the door)

(bright chiming)

(Dooley and M.A.R.T.I.E. knocking on the door)

(confused trombone melody)

(bright chiming)

(Dooley accidentally honking)

(whimsical music ends)

- I do want to pretend the rain forest.

I do want to pretend the rainforest.

I do. I do.

I do want to pretend the rain forest.

- [Nick] Anything yet, M.A.R.T.I.E.?

- No, nothing.

- I think you can stop pretending now.

- Ooh, wait.

I think I see it.

Yes. I see a little bean smog.

(M.A.R.T.I.E.'s computer system chirps)

- I mean, a little green frog hopping around.

(M.A.R.T.I.E. laughs)

- What else can you pretend?

- Well.

(M.A.R.T.I.E. sniffing)

- Hm. I smell the leaves on the trees

And oh, look, it's a big, giant, green lizard.

(M.A.R.T.I.E. chuckles)

- Did I hear someone say lizard?

- [Everyone] Hi, Dr. Arvid!

- Hi guys, how you doing?

- I can't believe it.

I made a wish on the magic lamp

Marty the Iguana

that I was in the rainforest and...

(M.A.R.T.I.E. laughs triumphantly)

- ...my wish came true!

- Well, part of it anyway.

- Melting meteorites, Dr. Arvid!

Ooh, when kind of lizard is that?

- Well, this is an iguana, Dooley,

and I was just taking him out for fresh air.

You know, just like other rainforest animals,

iguanas love to be outside.

- Did you hear that, M.A.R.T.I.E?

A rainforest lizard.

Just like you imagined.

- Ooh! Is he really from the rainforest, Dr. Arvid?

- Yes, he is, M.A.R.T.I.E.

Iguanas love hot tropical air, trees and plenty of room.

- [Nick] He's so green.

- Now that's so he can blend in with the surroundings.

You know, iguanas are green,

just like the leaves in the rainforest.

- Oh, it's just like I hoped to pretend.

My wish came true.

(everyone cheers)

- You did a great job of wishing, M.A.R.T.I.E.

- Hey, you know, maybe that magic lamp really is magic.

(Dr. Arvid chuckles)

- Well, look, I'm gonna walk this guy

around a little while longer

but I'm glad I was able to help

make your wish come true, M.A.R.T.I.E.

- Oh thanks, Dr. Arvid!

- Bye-bye, see you later!

- [Everyone] Bye, Dr. Arvid!

- [Kayla] Bye, dad!

- [M.A.R.T.I.E.] Bye, little green guy!

- See, M.A.R.T.I.E.?

Neat things can happen when you use your imagination.

(everyone cheers)

- Please Cosmos, let's use our last wish

to get these k'nurples off our noses.

Please, please, please!

- But think about it, Zoom.

We can use our last wish for something more fun

than k'nurple removal.

We could wish for something that would make us both happy.

A new spaceship, maybe!

(Zoom groans)

- I'm wishing again.

(chimes shimmering)

- Oh!

(Zoom laughs)

- Are you happy?

- Well, it is nice to have my own nose back

but I wish could have more wishes.

- Cosmos! Don't start that again.

Dooley Day

(computer system beeping)

- Daily Dooley log entry.

Oop! Hi, everybody!

It's me, Dooley!

Ever since my ship landed here on Earth,

I learned lots about your planet.

(rocket engine roaring)

(children singing faintly)

- [Dooley] Today I learned all about pretending.

My friends and I pretended we found a magic lamp.

And we could wish for anything we wanted.

Mrs. Z brought us the letter W.

And wished she could go to the rainforest.

We sang a song about it that made us feel

like we were really there.

(children singing 'The Rainforest Song')

- [Dooley] M.A.R.T.I.E. had trouble using his imagination

when we tried to go to the rainforest.

But we all helped him pretend.

Dr. Arvid came by with a rainforest iguana to visit us.

That made M.A.R.T.I.E. feel like his pretend trip

to the rainforest was real after all.

And as always, we shared some Dooley-rific Picture Pals!

Don't forget to send yours to The Dooley and Pals Show.
