Chorus: Word-girl!
Announcer: Psst! Listen for the words, "ability" and "benevolent".
Narrator: Just another normal day in Plumbloco...
*Scoops gets on a giant catapult and launches into the sky. He photographs Wordgirl as she flies over the city carrying The Butcher. Scoops lands on three well-placed trampolines in succession and strolls off.*
*The News paper spins into focus featuring the photo of Wordgirl that Scoops just shot, and the scene resumes with Wordgirl handing him over to the authorities.*
Narrator: And the day is saved once again thanks to Wordgirl!
Or is it?
*Scene cuts to a shady warehouse where the silhouettes of three criminals converge under a swinging lamp.*
Dr. Two-Brains: You know, Wordgirl is always getting in the way of me getting my paws on some cheese!
Tobey: You don't have paws you have hands.
Dr. Two-Brains: It's the mouse-brain, okay?
Chuck: I know what you mean, all I want is people to recognize my awesome sandwich making - uhh, sandwich making...what's the word? I know it um...
Tobey and Dr. Two-Brains: Ability?
Tobey: It's when you can do something.
Dr. Two-Brains: Like I have the ability to chew my way out of jail.
Chuck: You can do that?
Dr. Two-Brains: Yeah. Of course.
Chuck: Wow.
Dr. Two-Brains: Thanks! Tobey what about you?
Tobey: "I wish I could date Wordgirl."
Dr. Two-Brains: Tobey? *Tobey still stares into space* Tobey!
Tobey: What?
Dr. Two-Brains: What bothers you about Wordgirl?
Tobey: How she's...always destroying my robots.
Chuck: I can understand that.
Dr. Two-Brains: You know what? We should try to get rid of her. But how?...I know! We can make a ray gun that'll shoot robots or something to bring her down for good!
Chuck : I don't like that idea. How will I fit in there?
Tobey: And she can dodge them with her eyes closed, Boxlietner, we all know that.
Dr. Two-Brains: Don't call me by that name! You know that I hate it!
Chuck: I got it! I'll make a giant sandwich press *Tobey and Dr. Two-Brains groan* and we can lure her into it with a giant robot that'll turn the city into goop!
Dr. Two-Brains: What good will that do?
Chuck: When she flies in, we'll crush her in the sandwich press, of course!
Tobey: And what about my robot?
Chuck: Oh yeah, sorry. Never mind.
Tobey: Whatever. ...I got it! We can make a robot that can fire super steel sandwiches so she'll fall down in defeat and do whatever we want!
Chuck: Okay, I may not be the brightest person ever, but...THAT WAS THE MOST STUPIDEST IDEA I EVER HEARD!
Dr. Two-Brains: Took the words right out of my mouth. It almost makes Chuck seem smart.
Chuck: Yeah- Hey!
Dr. Two-Brains: What? It does!
Chuck: Forget it.
Dr. Two-Brains: ...How about we surround her with mice? I was working on some hypnotic cheese but it was to make a super smart mouse army - one that will obey me.
Tobey: Okay, that was the most stupidest idea ever heard.
Chuck: I know! I mean, The Butcher could come up with a better idea and he's in jail!
Dr. Two-Brains: He is?
Tobey: Where were you this morning? He just got caught by none other than You-Know-Who.
Chuck: But we're on a good start, we can do something with the cheese.
Tobey: ...I got it! We can hypnotize Wordgirl with the cheese and make her date... uh...(embarrassed) ...uh, someone she doesn't like!
Dr. Two-Brains: Why would we do that?
Tobey: Because she doesn't like him!
Chuck and Dr. Two-Brains: Now that's the worst and stupidest idea in the whole universe!
Dr. Two-Brains: Nobody's going to just come up and take a bite of cheese. *Chuck and Tobey looks at him expectantly.* ..Except for me, I mean!
Tobey: Well, how can we get Wordgirl to eat hypnotic cheese?
Chuck: Why don't we just give her a cheese sandwich?
Dr. Two-Brains: Because it's not like she's gonna accept it! Come on!
Tobey: What if a robot gave her the sandwich?
Chuck: What if the robot was the sandwich?
Dr. Two-Brains: You can't make a robot out of a sandwich!
Chuck: Why not?
Dr. Two-Brains: That's just ludicrous! You need aluminum, silicone...
Chuck and Two-Brains talking over each other: "Well, I don't know! I'm just saying..." " And anyway, it would rot before..."
Tobey: A-hem! *Smiles proudly.*
Dr. Two-Brains and Chuck: You can?
All three: Hmmmmmmm...
*A moment of pondering as the camera fades back from their silhouettes under the lamp.*
Chuck: Can you really chew through walls?
*Scoops is interviewing Violet for the art section of the Daily Rag. She is painting a portrait of Becky suspended upside down by her knees from a tree branch and holding onto Bob with her hands who's using a free foot to hold a basket of fruit.*
Todd: So, Violet. What inspired you to paint this picture?
Violet: Well I don't know really, I mean, inspiration has so many names!
Becky: Can I see the picture yet? I'm getting kinda tired.
Violet: Sure! It's all done!
Becky: *falls down* Whoa! *hits the ground* Ow… *walks over to see it* Wow, Violet! You have a great ability with art!
Violet: I have a what with art?
Becky: Ability. It means to be able to do something. For example, I have the ability to define words such as "ability". *giggles*
Violet: I see.
Todd: Okay, hold the fruit again while I take a few pictures of you and Violet for the newspaper!
*In another scene Tobey, Dr. Two-Brains, and Chuck create an entire tray of sandwiches*
Two-brains: Now I'll set the ray from "Mice" to "Humans"! Here, *He offers goggles to Tobey* put these on.
Tobey: I don't need these! Safety is for babies; I'm a super villain!
I mean, I have my glasses. Come on, goggles are soo-
Dr. Two-Brains: You want to be a blind super villain?
*Henchmen nod their heads to encourage Tobey and put on their safety goggles*
Tobey: Gimme the goggles.
*Srrrrrooom!* *The cheese is transformed*
Chuck: Now, to bring my creation to life!
*Tobey pulls a chain to lift the tray to an opening in the roof, ala Frankenstein*
*Scene cuts to a view of the city skyline as seen from a park with birds and squirrels. Out of the clear blue sky lightning strikes the skyline*
Townspeople observing the strange incident: Well, that was weird!
Narrator: Later that day, walking home from school...
Violet: I hope we do origami in art class today!
Becky: *mumbles to herself* And I hope Scoops needs me to help him find a story.
Violet: What was that Becky?
Becky: Oh, ummmmm...I think art is your best category?
Violet: Oh, okay!
Becky: "I think art's your best category?"
Narrator: Look out!
Violet: *screams*
*Robot foot slams onto the ground.*
Becky: Run!
*Violet and Becky run in opposite directions*
Becky: *Hides behind a telephone pole* Worrrd up! *shoom!*
Wordgirl: Okay robot! Prepare to be dismantled once and for all!
*robot shuts down and crashes*
Wordgirl: O-kaaaayyyy. *flies close to it* Huh? A sandwich? *sandwich jumps into her mouth* Blech! That was *suddenly monotone* the most delicious sandwich I ever had!
CHF: Mmmmmmm? (Beckyyy?)
*The villains come pop of a near by bush*
Dr. Two-Brains: We-we actually did it!
Chuck: Yes! Yes! I can't believe it! *Chuck's background scenery morphs into the field of stars and galaxies of the infinite universe* I did it!
Dr. Two-Brains: *walks into scene* Hey! I helped!
Tobey *also walks in*: So did I!
*Scenery suddenly morphs back to the town environment*
Chuck: Sorry. I mean, we did it! Ha ha haee!
Dr. Two-Brains: Well I got some cheese stealin' to do! Aha ha ha! *exits to the left side*
Chuck: And my public awaits! *exits to the right side*
Tobey: *rubbing hands together* And my wish is about to be fulfilled. *excited* Come, my beloved! I had the ability to get reservations for us at Café Crustacean!
Wordgirl: Your wish is my command. *picks up Tobey* Worrrd up! *shoom*
CHF: *Squeaks* (What?) *Jaw falls to ground*
Narrator: Has Wordgirl actually fallen into the hands of this Triple Threat? Will they all get what they've always wanted? How did Tobey get a resevation Café Crustacean? That place is like, expensive!
CHF: Mmmmmmmmmm! (Don't look at me!)
*Sandwiches are marching in file throughout the public streets of Plumoloco. They are leaping into the mouths of startled citizens everywhere. A city bus pulls to a stop and a group of sandwiches hop on board. The bus drives to the next stop and all the people get off with hypnotic expressions. A row of sandwiches on the scaffolding of a roller coaster at the town amusement park. The sandwiches jump off in sequence formation into the passengers mouths as the train of cars rolls by. Sandwiches cram into the revolving door of a bank, the revolving door begins to spit out hypnotized citizens. One jumps into the mouth of a criminal running from the police. When the policeman catches up, another sandwich jumps into his mouth too. Etc. etc...All the citizens become instantly hypnotized.*
Narrator: Ahhh! Sandwiches are taking over the city and hypnotizing everybody- ahhhh! *gulp* *Monotone* All hail Chuck the Benevolent Sandwich Making guy.
Guy: *monotone* What does Benevolent mean?
Wordgirl: *back in normal, unhypnotized character against a bland blue background for this incidental scene* Oh! Benevolent means: good, kind, and generous!
Guy: Okay.
*Chuck hoisted up on the shoulders of an adoring crowd*
Everyone: All hail, Chuck the Benevolent Sandwich Making guy! All hail, All hail! All hail, Chuck the Benevolent Sandwich Making guy!
*At a small table outside a nice-looking restaurant.*
Tobey: ...I mean, I've always felt this way about you ever since I first saw you graceful figure soaring through the sky.
Wordgirl: *dreamily* Chuck's sandwiches are so awesome.
Tobey: Uhhhh... did I mention I only used my robots to see your dark glossy locks flow in the breeze.
Wordgirl: *dreamily* I love Chuck the Benevolent Sandwich-Making guy's sandwiches.
Tobey: *jealously* Enough about Chuck what about me?
Wordgirl: *dreamily* His ability to combine delightful textures of bread with succulent fillings to create an aesthetic consumable masterpiece of exquisite beauty forever fills me with an adoration I've never known before.
Tobey: *trying to control his anger* So Wordgirl, I was just wondering what is your secret identity?
Wordgirl: *sleepily* My secret identity? My secret identity is...*sleepily* is...*stifles a yawn* is Be- *splat!* *Wordgirl falls asleep into some mashed potatos*
Tobey: ? Ummm? Wordgirl? Are you okay? *walks over to her* Wordgirl... *snoring*
*Theme Music for "May I Have A Word begins*
Beau: Hello. I'm Beau Handsome and this *a sandwich runs onto to the scene from the left and hops into Beau's mouth* **muffled exclamation from Beau**
Crowd *hypnotized eyes*: May I have a sandwich!
Beau: This is the best sandwich ever!
*Phil, Tommy, and Emily are all hypnotized*
*scene fades out coming back to The Triple Threat.*
