Narrator:
today's featured words are

Accomplish and schedule.

Ah. Just another beautiful
day in the city.

The sun is out,
there's a slight breeze--

Boy: help!

The arcade's
being robbed!

And the arcade
is being robbed.

Hey. The arcade's
being robbed!

[Siren]

Ha! Chuck the evil
sandwich making guy
does it again.

My tokens!
They're gone!

Oh, why do these things
always happen to me?

I'm a victim!

Brent!
Hey, brother!

What are you
doing here?

Chuck, I know things
didn't work out so well

The last time I tried
to be your sidekick.

Yeah, you were
unbelievably
terrible at it.

I know, I know.

That's what's
been bugging me.

So I want to make
it up to you.

Chuck, will you give me
a second chance?

I don't know.

Ok, do you promise
to do every evil,
despicable thing

I ask you to do?

I do.

You can start
by picking up
my dry cleaning.

Oh, I've got some
ironing I need
done, too.

Uh, chuck, wait.

Afraid you don't
have what it takes?

No. To make sure I get
everything done,

I'm going to
make a schedule.

What's a schedule?

Narrator: meanwhile
at the botsfords' house,

Becky is earning
a fair city scout badge

By baking a cake.

Oh, uh, you might
want to--oh!

Mom, if I want to
earn the baking badge,

I have to bake the cake
all by myself.

Ok, while you're
busy in here,

I'll be
in the other room.

Less than five
footsteps away.

Chef tj is here
to assist you,
right on schedule.

Thanks, but I don't
need help.

You have to let
me help, becky.

I'm wearing
a chef's hat.

Uh, a hat does not
a chef make.

Yes, it does make.

Please leave.
I can't accomplish

Anything when
you're around.

I can't accomplish
anything

When you're around.

Do you even know
what accomplish means?

Yeah! I do.

But you better
say it out loud

In case bob
doesn't know.

Ok, accomplish means to
complete a task or goal,

And since you came
into the kitchen,

I haven't been able
to accomplish my goal,

Which is to bake a cake!

Well my goal
is to help you

Accomplish
your goal.

Ok, bob. The first
thing we need to do

Is measure the flour.

Let go.
You let go.

I...don't...want...
Your...help!

Yes...you...do!

Mrs. Botsford:
what's going on?

Ohh!

Becky, clean this up.
I'm going outside.

Be more patient
with tj.

He looks up to you.

I'll try.

Mom, can I have
money so I can go
to the store

And buy more flour?

I'll get my purse.

Brent: there.
Oh, this is a perfect place

For our robbing
schedule,

Don't you think, chuck?

Chuck?

Yeah, great.

As you can see
on the schedule,

Uh, the first thing
we're gonna do is

Rob the jewelry
store, right?

The jewelry--chuck?

Are you getting any
of this, chuck?

Ooh. That's
a funny noise.

What's it mean?

It means the game
is over,

And I was only ten points
away from the record!

Eehh! Get out of here!

Oh. Well, now that
I have your attention,

I think we'll
accomplish a lot more

If we look
at a schedule.

I don't feel like
looking at a schedule.

Did you make sure
all the condiment rays
are full?

Yeah, chuck. See?
: . I did that.

And I filled
the mustard ray.

With my own special
mustard recipe.

Why? What's wrong
with my mustard recipe?

Nothing.
I just wanted
to be helpful.

I think you're
changing the way I do
things too much.

I'm hungry.
I could go
for a sandwich.

Bologna?
Peanut butter?

What, no ham?

I have one.
It's in my pocket here.

Ham!

Narrator:
later at the jewelry store...

Brent: ladies and gentleman,
your attention please!

I would like to introduce chuck
the evil sandwich making guy!

He'll be robbing
you today!

You heard my sidekick!

There's no point
in resisting.

You're up against
the greatest--

Uh, you'll notice that
the schedule also lists

Everything that
we'll be stealing.

So just put it
in a big pile over here.

Don't interrupt me!

Right away, brent.

All right, I guess I'm
going to tie him up now.

No! Not yet.
Read the schedule.

The schedule!

Schedule.
Ok, let me see.

"Tying up reginald"
is number six

On the schedule.

Here you are.

You know, I have
to say, brent,

This is has been
one of the most
organized

And efficient robberies
I've every experienced.

It's really
been a pleasure.

The pleasure
was all ours.

In fact, you have been
so cooperative,

We're not even going
to tie you up.

Oh, why how very
nice of you, brent,

Although you still
could if you wanted.

What? Not tie him up?

We're a little behind,
so we can tie up

The next store clerk.

Narrator: later
in chuck's basement lair...

So let's get
a jump on tomorrow.

It looks like
we're scheduled to rob
the grocery store.

Here's the plan.

[Sighs]

What's wrong?
We don't have
time for moping

On the schedule.

First, I don't get to tie up
the jewelry store clerk,

And now I don't
get to come up

With an evil plan?

I'm just doing my
sidekick duties is all.

Does that include ruining
all my video games?

Ruining?
I just organized them.

They were
already organized!

My way organized!

Brent, I've had enough
of your schedules

And your organizing!

I don't want you to be
my sidekick anymore!

You're fired!

But, chuck, you're
doing so well

With me
as your sidekick.

I keep you organized
and scheduled.

You need me.

Says you!

I'm going to take
this city down

With my biggest crime
ever,

And I'm going
to do it alone

Without schedules
and without charts
and graphs,

But first I'm going to
play some video games.

Brent, have you
seen the joystick?

Oh, I can't
talk to you.

I'm fired.

You're hired
for the finding
the joystick.

It's on the table.

All right, thanks.
You're fired.
Oh.

Narrator: later,
becky and bob walk home

From the grocery store

With a new bag
of flour for the cake.

That's weird.
Was that mustard?

I smell trouble.

Evil-sandwich-making-
trouble.

Word up!

Chuck!
What?

I knew you were
responsible
for this mess.

It was the mustard,
wasn't it?

Yeah, it's kind of
a dead giveaway,

But it
doesn't matter

Because I'm going
to--

How did I not
see that coming?

That's right,
word girl.

Now, you can stay
there and watch my
biggest crime ever!

What are you
planning to do?

I'm going to
turn this city
into a giant sandwich!

Ha ha! Yay!

And I'm going
to do it alone

Without my brother.

Oh, so that's
what this is about.

You know, eventually
I'm going to stop
you, chuck.

So why don't you
just give up now.

You're not going to stop
me this time, word girl!

These mustard
cocoons seem different
than normal.

[Squeaks]

Hmm. You're right.
It's delicious.

Really? You like it?

It's my own
special recipe.

Brent, do you
know anything

About what
your brother plans
to do to the city?

No. I'm on my way
to the bus stop

Because I'm not
his sidekick anymore.

He fired me.

Oh! What's this?

It figures as soon
as I fired you,

You'd go crying
to word girl.

Chuck, things
didn't work out,
and I'm sorry,

But I think I understand

Why you don't want
a sidekick.

You do?
Yeah.

The great criminals
always work alone,

And you're
a great criminal.

I am? Yeah, yeah!

That's right.
I am the best.

What was I saying?

How else would I be able
to turn this town

Into a giant sandwich?

Hyah!

Hold the mustard
on that sandwich!

Because it's over,
chuck!

Oh, yeah?
We'll see about that.

[Beeping]

We're on
a tight schedule,

So can we start
the battle?

Uh, permission to speak?

Gra--granted?

But make it quick.
I still have to layer

The city with pickles.

I wanted to be your
sidekick, chuck,

Not because I like
being a villain

But because
you're my brother

And I like spending
time with you.

Really?
Yeah.

Do you think
we could find
something

That we can
do together?

Like what?

Like, go shopping
at the mall
or something?

You could ride bikes
or climb a tree together.

We could ride
a bike up a tree.

I like doing things
with you too, brent.

Ok, listen to this.

Let me just finish
turning the city
into a giant sandwich.

Then we can go
for a bike ride, ok?

Ha!

What--what's wrong?

It won't stop.

Ha ha ha!
It can't be stopped.

I made that remote
so there's

No stop button on it.

Now do you wish that
you had followed
my schedule?

Yeah, a little bit,
I have to admit.

Well, the next thing
on my schedule

Is to take
you to jail.

See, chuck?
She uses a schedule,

And it seems to be
working out well.

She's very organized.

[Squeaks]

Oh. A schedule is
a kind of list

Or a plan that
tells you what
you need to do

And when you
need to do it.

For instance, at school
the schedule tells

Everyone when it's time
to be in class,

When it's time
to eat lunch,

And when it's time
to go home.

Excuse me!
Do you know who made

This delicious mustard?

I'd love to buy
the recipe and sell it.

Oh, shucks.
Guilty as charged.

Come with me.
We can make millions!

Wow! I could
make millions!

What?!
Wait, wait, wait.

He's going
to make millions,

And I'm going
to go to jail?

How is that fair?

Guys?

Narrator: later
at the botsfords'...

[Timer dings]

Now that you've earned
your cake baking badge,

There's no telling what
you can accomplish.

It was easy
without tj bothering me.

Your brother doesn't
want to cause trouble.

He just wants to spend time
with his big sister.

Oh, I guess I hadn't
thought of it like
that before.

I finished my cake.

How did you bake a cake
when becky's been using
the kitchen?

I made it out
of mud.

Tj, I've been thinking,
after I frost the cake,

We should play
a game together.

A game?! Yeah!

Hey, where's
the frosting?

Where's bob?

Oh! Bob!

Narrator: and so, once again,
word girl and huggy save

The city from chuck's
evil sandwich scheme

While baking
a frostingless cake.

Not a very delicious
accomplishment.

Now this may be
a busy week,

So be sure to schedule
time to see

The next exhilarating adventure
of "word girl"!

♪ Word girl ♪

Hello. I'm beau handsome,
and this is...

"May I have a word?"

As usual, the player who
correctly defines

Today's featured word
will win a fabulous prize!

Let's play...

"May I have a word?"

Yes, you may!

Today's featured
word is imitate.

To give you a clue,
here are some clips

From "word girl"
that show the meaning
of the word.

Uh, I think imitate
means to dance
and sing, right?

No! It does not!

Yes, emily?

Imitate
means to mimic
or impersonate,

Like in that
last clip,

Where huggy
is imitating
tiny big's moves.

That is correct!

Huggy, what
are you doing?

Ok, well I'm sure you
have your reasons.

Anyway,
congratulations, emily!

I'd really appreciate
it if you'd stop
imitating me.

Emily, you are
today's winner.

You know, that's really
quite distracting.

Huggy, show her
what she's won.

An official
beau handsome microphone!

Emily, you're really
gonna have fun with that.

I am?
Indeed!

That's it
for today's episode.

See you next time on...

Antique fishing poles!

Aww, man.
Putting price tags

Ahchoo! Cough cough!

Wow! I must be coming

Hmm.
Or lawns?

Hmm.
Or yard sales?

Nice try, becky.
Now let's do this!

Whoo-hoo!

Narrator: meanwhile...

Thanks for asking
me to help you
out today.

It's fun to work
for someone other
than dr. Two brains

Every once
in a while.

Yeah, well, I need
someone big and strong

To carry all the heavy gold
we're about to steal,

And besides, all I had to
pay dr. Two brains

Was one cheese danish.

That's all
I'm worth?

Eh, no more yapping!

Let's do this!

Ahem. Hello!

Listen up,
listen up, everybody!

I need your attention
right here because

What I am about to tell you
is guaranteed

To change your life!

Wow! This sounds
exciting and totally
worth my time!

Tell me more,
granny may!

Ladies and gentlemen,
allow me to tell you

About an exciting
new service called yarn- -gold.

Now if you're like me,
you have lots of jewelry,

Necklaces, rings, watches.

I have this
heavy necklace!

And don't you get tired,
lugging all that heavy
gold around all day?

Ahem.

I sure do.

Wouldn't it be great to
swap that heavy jewelry

For something lighter,

Say, for instance, yarn?

Wow! The yarn necklace
is so much lighter!

I'm going to swap
my heavy jewelry
right away!

Hooray!
That's amazing!
I think.

Swap my fancy
gold watch for a pile
of worthless yarn?

That sounds like
a swindle if I ever
heard one.

Why, hello, handsome!

What's your name?

My name is bampy,
and I'm not about
to give you

My fancy gold watch
in return

For some silly
macramé doodad!

Well, now I understand
why you might be skeptical.

After all, you're giving
valuable gold to someone

You barely know.

Exactly!

So what if I told you
you could come ask

For your watch back
at any time?

But isn't the plan
for us to leave
with the gold?

I said he could ask
for it at any time.

I didn't say I'd
give it to him.

Did you say
any time?

Any time, darling,
any time.

Hmm.

How about I sweeten
the deal, sweets?

Do you have have
a family member

Who likes
pretty things?

Well, my
granddaughter becky.

What if I knit her
a fantastic sweater?

Boop!

Why, that's lovely!

Uh-uh-uh.
You only get the sweater

If you swap your watch.

You see? It's called
yarn- -gold!

Hmm. Ok, ok.
We have a deal.

Thank you, sir.
A pleasure doing
business with you.

I'm going to take this
to my granddaughter
right away!

Ha ha ha!
There's a sucker
born every minute.

Rubbish for sale.

Get your useless,
worthless rubbish
right here.

Bampy: becky!
Whoo-hoo!

Becky!
Bampy?

What's going on here?

I'm stuck putting
price tags

On all my dad's
old junk

For the yard sale.

Oh. Sounds like that job
I used to have

Shoveling sand
at the sandbag factory.

No fun at all!

You've got
that right.

Maybe this
will brighten your mood!

It's a sweater!

A really, really
purple sweater.

Thanks, bampy.

Hey, where'd you
get it?

A nice old lady
knit them for me.

All I had to do was
loan her my fancy
gold wristwatch,

And in return,
she give me a sweater

And this
yarn-watch thingy.

Wait a sec.

You swapped
a gold wristwatch

For some yarn?

Do you happen
to remember

This nice
old lady's name?

Hmm. It was
sunny day

Or--or fannie jay.
Granny may?

Granny may!
That's it!

Oh, bampy,
I hate to say this,

But I think
granny may

Might have
ripped you off.

Oh, I had a hunch
it was some sort of scam,

But then she offered
to throw in that sweater,

And I know how
you like gifts.

Well, that's
so thoughtful,

But I think it's
time for word girl
to investigate.

Good idea!
Oh, wait.

You're word girl,
right?

Always have been
and always will be,

And you're
the only
other person

Who knows my
secret identity.

Yeah, but don't worry,
I'm not telling anyone
your secret.

Let's go!
Yeah, let's--

Aw, man.
I can't go.

I've got more junk to tag,
and my dad's not falling

For any of my excuses.

You leave
this to me.

Hey, dad!
Wan to buy a lamp shade

Shaped like
an upside-down carrot?

Oh, not today, son.

Becky and I have some
important business
to tend to.

But, dad, becky's still
helping me out

With the yard sale.

Ok, then!
We'll be home soon!

Ahh, bu--wha? Dad?

Works every time.
Good one!

[Indistinct chatter]

You try and get
your watch back,

And if granny may
says no,

Give us the signal.

The signal.
You got it!

I want to return
this yarn

And get my
gold watch back.

Oh, well, I am afraid
that is not gonna
be possible.

But you said I
could ask for it
back any time.

Heh heh heh. Yeah.

I said you could ask
for it at any time.

I didn't say I'd
actually give it back.

Now scram!

Word girl!
Um, whoo-hoo!

Signal!

Word girl!

Yeah, I think
that's the signal.

Hold it right there,
granny may.

Your days
of swapping people's

Expensive gold jewelry
for a bunch

Of rubbish are over.

Rubbish?
My knitting isn't

A bunch
of worthless trash!

It is not junk!

Why, that is
a quality yarn watch!

It even tells
the correct time
twice a day!

Nice older gentleman
who I just met,

Did she go back
on her word

And refuse
to return

Your fancy
gold wristwatch?

Indeed she did,
word girl.

That sounds like
a crime to me.

Game's up,
granny may.

Boop!
Whoa!

You think you
can surprise me

With your same old
yarn tricks, granny may?

Maybe not, but I bet
you'll be surprised

When you get tied up
by my sidekick!

You don't have
a sidekick--whoa!

Ha! Later!

Boop!

Not so fast,
granny may!

I--i'll catch you.

Ooh.
I'll get you!

Wait a second.
Don't you work
for dr. Two brains?

Usually, but granny may
baked him

A cheese danish,
so the boss loaned me
out to her for the day.

Hmm. Sounds like
a fair swap.

I guess so.

Maybe this will be
my new hobby,

Helping
other villains.

I used to be into
collecting things,

Bicycles, antique
fishing poles--

Antique fishing poles?

Do you have any you
want to get rid of?

Hey. It just so
happens I've got

A whole truck full
of old fishing poles,

But I'd only part
with them if I
could swap them

For something
really good

Like rubbish.

I love old junk.
Huh!

Bampy:
hold it right there!

You'll
never catch me!

Ha ha ha!
Heh heh!

There's my gold watch!

[Beeping]

Well, looks like
it's just you
and me, gramps.

That's right.

But I've got my
knitting needles,

And you ain't
got nothing!

Oh, I've got plenty.

Huh?

School street.
Here you go.

Now if you'll excuse me,
I have a battle to finish.

[Grunting]

Bampy, look out!

Don't worry!

I've got a plan!

[Screech]

See that giant "x"
on the ground over there?

Yeah, I see it.

Well, let's try and get
granny may to stand

Right on top of it.

Trust me.

Almost time.

High noon!

Wha?

Looks like we got
you, granny may.

How did you know
there'd be sandbags?

I used to work
at this factory back

When I was a young
whippersnapper.

Every day at noon
we'd dump all
the new sandbags

Right here on
this giant "x".

Ah, fiddlesticks.

[Plays notes]

[Playing
electronic rhythm]

Bampy: hey, son!

How's the yard
sale going?

Not one customer
all day!

There's no way
I'll make enough
money to start

That fishing
pole collection.

I wouldn't be
so sure of that.

Wow! This is
amazing rubbish!

Want to swap it
for my truckload

Of antique
fishing poles?

Hey, becky, what
does swap mean again?

To swap means
to exchange
or trade

One thing
for another.

He wants to
trade, or swap,
his fishing poles

For
all this rubbish.

My friend, you've
got yourself a deal!

You know, we're not
so bad at fighting
crime together.

Oh. Heh heh.
You know,
maybe next time,

I'll become
a superhero myself.

Maybe get one
of those fancy outfits.

What do you
think of the name
"old man fantastico"?

Narrator: and so
with the rubbish
about to swapped

For a truck full
of fishing poles

And a hint of a future team-up
between word girl and bampy,

All is well in the city!
