Narrator: CLAIRE MACALLISTER IS ABOUT TO GO ON A BUSINESS TRIP

AND LEAVE A BABYSITTER IN CHARGE OF HER SON,

THE MISCHIEVOUS BOY GENIUS TOBEY.

OK. JUST A FEW MORE THINGS BEFORE I GO.

OK.

HERE'S THE HOMING DEVICE FOR TOBEY'S TRACKING BRACELET,

THE BUTTON TO SHORT OUT HIS ELECTRICAL DEFENSE SHIELD,

THE NULLIFIER TO NEUTRALIZE HIS GIANT, ATTACKING ROBOTS.

WHAT ELSE? WHAT ELSE? WHAT ELSE?

WAIT. GIANT, ATTACKING ROBOTS?

OK. GOT TO GO. BYE.

GOTCHA!

OH. HEE HEE!

HA HA HA!

Narrator: MEANWHILE IN THE BOTSFORD'S FRONT YARD...

HMM, "ENORMO-GROW, FOR TRULY ENORMOUS PLANTS."

WHOA. HEY THERE, BIG FELLA.

HMM, SEEMS TO BE HEADING DOWNTOWN.

I BETTER FOLLOW IT. WHY?

OH, UHH... SCHOOL PROJECT?

HMM, OK. HAVE FUN.

THANKS, DAD.

AWW, BIG LUG KNOCKED OVER MY WATERING CAN.

OH. THANK YOU.

OK. NOW, WHO WANTS TO COMPETE IN THE LONG JUMP?

EXCELLENT. STEP UP, BOYS.

READY, NUMBER 3?

OOH, GOOD DISTANCE, BUT I HAVE TO TAKE POINTS OFF FOR THE LANDING.

OK. READY, NUMBER 8?

TOBEY, TOBEY, TOBEY.

WORDGIRL!

HEY...'SUP?

UM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU KNOW, JUST HANGIN'.

ANY CHANCE YOU CAN "HANG"

WITHOUT CRASHING YOUR ENORMOUS ROBOTS INTO BUILDINGS?

NO. OF COURSE NOT.

WELL, HAVE FUN REBUILDING THEM.

WORDGIRL, WORDGIRL, WORDGIRL,

DID YOU REALLY THINK I'D MAKE A SPECIAL TRIP

TO THE CITY WITH JUST 3 ROBOTS?

OH, BOY.

HOW MANY DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE?

HUGGY.

SO, WORDGIRL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE NEXT,

A RELAY RACE OR ROBOT HOPSCOTCH?

NEITHER, TOBEY, BECAUSE I HAPPEN

TO KNOW YOUR WEAKNESS, AND HER NAME IS MOMMY.

PREPARE TO GO TO YOUR ROOM.

YOU HAVE ME ON SPEED DIAL?

YEAH. THAT'S COOL.

HEY, IF YOU EVER WANT TO GO OUT FOR ICE CREAM OR--

IT'S STRICTLY FOR BUSINESS PURPOSES.

RIGHT. RIGHT.

HELLO? HI, UH... MRS. MACALLISTER?

SHE'S AWAY ON BUSINESS. CAN I TAKE A MESSAGE?

ACTUALLY TOBEY IS WRECKING THE CITY WITH A BUNCH OF ROBOTS, SO--

UH, SURE, HE IS.

HOW CAN HE BE WRECKING THE CITY

WHEN HE'S SITTING RIGHT HERE?

I DON'T THE ANSWER TO THAT, BUT--- WAIT. WHAT?

HE'S ONLY, LIKE, THE BEST KID I EVER BABY-SAT.

NO. HE'S DESTROYING THE CITY.

TALK TO YOU LATER. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

GOOD-BYE.

OH, DO YOU BELIEVE THE WEIRDOS IN THIS WORLD?

NOW, WHERE WERE WE? OH, RIGHT.

KAYLA CALLED ZACH, EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HER I TOTALLY LIKE HIM,

AND, LIKE, KAYLA IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY BEST FRIEND,

AND SHE TOTALLY WENT BEHIND MY BACK.

I TOLD HER WE ARE SO NOT FRIENDS ANYMORE.

DO YOU THINK I DID THE RIGHT THING?

OH, THANK YOU. YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD LISTENER.

SO, DID YOU HAVE A NICE, LITTLE CONVERSATION

WITH THE BABYSITTER? HA HA HA!

HUGGY, ACTIVATE EMERGENCY PLAN NUMBER 67.

I'LL STALL FOR TIME. OO OO OO.

NO. THAT'S 54. OO OO.

NO. THAT'S 113.

NO. THA-- JUST GO TALK TO THE BABYSITTER.

SO, WORDGIRL, WHAT NOW, HMM?

ACTUALLY, I'M NOT SURE.

I'VE NEVER FACED AN ENORMOUS ARMY OF ROBOTS BEFORE.

OHH, "ENORMOUS."

WHAT A PAINFULLY ORDINARY WORD.

I MEAN, YOU ARE WORDGIRL, AREN'T YOU?

COULDN'T YOU COME UP WITH A BETTER WORD FOR "BIG,"

LIKE "MASSIVE" OR "GIGANTIC"

OR, OOH, "GARGANTUAN."

LISTEN. I'M NOT GOING TO STAND HERE

AND BICKER WITH YOU ABOUT WORDS.

"BICKER," HMM? WHAT ABOUT "TUSSLE"?

"TUSSLE" IS GOOD. I LIKE "BRAWL."

STOP. STOP. STOP!

"STOP" IS SUCH AN EASY WORD.

WHAT ABOUT "CEASE"?

OK. CEASE...

OR THE REST OF MY ROBOTS WILL TEAR THIS CITY APART, HMM?

FINE. I HALTED.

YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMART, DON'T YOU,

WITH YOUR SUPER POWERS, AND YOUR VOCABULARY,

AND YOUR LUMINOUS SMILE? WHAT?

BUT YOU CAN BE BEATEN, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

I'M GOING TO PROVE THAT I'M SMARTER THAN YOU,

AND THEN YOU'LL BE MINE, ALL MINE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY I'LL BE ALL YOURS?

OH, UH, NOTHING. NEVER MIND.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE GAME SHOW "CASH OR PIE"?

YEAH. WELL, NOW IT'S TIME TO PLAY "CRASH OR PIE."

HEE HEE HEE! HA HA HA!

HA HA! AHEM.

YES. THANK YOU. I KNOW.

IF I WIN, YOU HAVE TO SIT AND WATCH

AS MY ROBOTS DESTROY THE CITY.

ALSO, I PROMISED A FRIEND THAT I'D GET

A PHOTO OF YOU SIGNED, "TOBEY, ALL MY LOVE, WORDGIRL."

UH, HIS NAME IS TOBEY, TOO.

ANYWAY, IF I LOSE, WHICH ISN'T LIKELY,

I'LL SHUT DOWN MY ROBOTS,

BUT I STILL NEED THE PHOTO. DEAL?

DO I HAVE CHOICE? NOT REALLY.

HURRY UP, HUGGY.

HELLO? OH, WOW! AN AARDVARK IN TIGHTS.

ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING?

OH. MAYBE TOBEY IS GOOD AT CHARADES.

HE IS SUCH A GOOD LISTENER.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN TALKING TO HIM FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.

I KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE I AM SO SHY,

BUT HE'S SO EASY TO TALK TO.

HE'S JUST, LIKE, ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.

YOU'RE JUST "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH," AND 5 HOURS LATER,

YOU REALIZE YOU'VE BEEN TALKING THAT LONG, YOU KNOW?

Narrator: WELCOME, FOLKS, TO THE FIRST-EVER SHOWING OF, UH--

"CRASH OR PIE."

Narrator: CRASH OR PIE.

NOW INTRODUCING OUR CONTESTANTS...

FROM THE SUBURBS, HE'S A 10-YEAR-OLD GENIUS

WHO ENJOYS WREAKING HAVOC WITH HIS ROBOTS,

AND ALSO HAS A SECRET CRUSH ON WORDGIRL. HEY!

LET'S WELCOME THEODORE TOBEY MACALLISTER.

YES. THANK YOU.

SAVE IT FOR THE END.

Narrator: AND FROM THE PLANET LEXICON,

SHE'S A PINT-SIZED POWERHOUSE WHO ENJOYS READING,

DECORATING HER DOLL HOUSE,

AND PULVERIZING THOSE WHO STAND IN THE WAY OF JUSTICE.

LET'S WELCOME WORDGIRL.

YEAH. HELLO.

UH, NO SECRET CRUSHES?

Narrator: AS A MATTER OF FACT, SHE DOES,

BUT I'M NOT ALLOWED TO SAY.

BUT YOU REVEALED MINE.

Narrator: YEAH, BUT IT'S HER SHOW.

JUST START THE GAME.

Narrator: FINE. HERE ARE THE RULES.

I'LL SAY A WORD.

AND GIVE ANOTHER WORD THAT MEANS THE SAME THING

AS THAT WORD GETS A POINT.

UNDERSTAND? COMPREHEND.

Narrator: CORRECT.

HEY, THE GAME HASN'T STARTED.

Narrator: EXCUSE ME, BUT I'M THE HOST.

I'LL SAY WHEN THE GAME HAS STARTED.

COMMENCED.

Narrator: CORRECT. HEY!

Narrator: OK. WORDGIRL HAS JUMPED OUT TO AN EARLY LEAD.

LET'S SEE IF SHE CAN KEEP IT.

READY? PREPARED.

Narrator: OH, I'M SORRY TOBEY. WE WEREN'T PLAYING YET.

THAT'S EMBARRASSING. HA HA HA!

OK. THE NEXT WORD IS "SOGGY."

WET. Narrator: CORRECT.

HOLD ON A SEC. YOU'RE CHEATING.

I AM NOT. YES, YOU ARE.

YOU'RE USING YOUR SUPER SPEED TO BUZZ IN BEFORE I CAN.

NO, I'M NOT. I'M JUST SMARTER THAN YOU.

IS THAT SO?

WELL, IF THAT'S HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY...

Narrator: THE NEXT WORD IS... HEY!

"ADMIRE."

Tobey: AHEM. "LIKE."

Narrator: CORRECT.

NO FAIR. YOU CHEATED.
