Announcer: listen for the words

"Eventually" and "award."

It's another beautiful
day in the city,

Perfect weather for the city
scouts' weekend retreat.

Scouts: and we will make
our world a better place

By washing our hands

And giving our friend
the last slice of pizza.

Huzzah!

Take a seat,
city scouts,

Although what I'm
about to tell you

Will make you want to
stand right up and cheer.

Ha ha ha!

It turns out the city
hasn't met their
key-giving quota

For the month, so they
decided to give the award

To one very lucky
city scout!

But which city scout
is it going to be?

Well, we're gonna have
a contest!

Whoever can earn
the most city scout
skill badges

By the end of the day
will win the key
to the city!

And that contest begins

Right...

Now!

Violet?

I'm trying to earn
my still-as-a-statue
badge.

Ha ha ha!

Carry on, city scout.

It's working.

The key to the city.

Can you imagine
winning an award like that

When you're only
years old?

Ha! Of course you can.

Wordgirl has won
more keys to the city
than anybody.

And that's
the point, scoops.

Wordgirl has won
dozens of keys,

But ordinary citizen
becky botsford
hasn't won any.

I always hoped
I would eventually,

And now I've got
the chance!

Well, good luck,
but you'll have to
b*at me first.

Origami-dolphin-making-
badge complete.

Oh, I'm not
too worried.

Ok, I'm a little
worried.

I've always known
that eventually

The time would come
when I could show
wordgirl

What a superior
human I am,

And here it is--
this award.

When wordgirl sees me
up on that stage,

Key in hand, she will
see what I've always seen--

That we are both winners
made for each other!

Owee!

Yes! Fix-an-owee
badge completed.

Announcer: later...

So that's two more
for scoops.

Whoo hoo!
One-man high five.

Mrs. Botsford:
very nice, becky.

Looks like you earned
your tent-patching badge

And your cooking-spice-
alphabetization badge!

Oh!

The till-you-drop
badge!

I get it.
Brava!

Ha ha ha!

! I earned
badges, scout
leader botsford--

The go-fly-a-kite badge,

The sticky s'mores badge,

And the card-house-
replica badge!

Ha ha ha!
I'm winning!

Hmm. This kite is made
out of metal,

So it can't fly.

What?

And I can't give you
a sticky s'mores badge.

They're made out
of mud and glue.

That's a mccallister
secret recipe.

Only one badge for now.

If I fall behind now,
I'll never be able
to catch up.

I--i have to win
this award!

Don't worry.
If you work hard,

You'll be able
to catch up
eventually.

Eventually?

Eventually?

Oh, I can define that.

The word "eventually"
means "after a while"
or "in the end."

Like right now,
you've earned the least
amount of scout badges,

But with some hard work,

Eventually you'll earn
as much as the rest of us--

Well, except me, that is.

I know what
eventually means.

I was remarking on
how absurd this whole
contest is.

I just need...

I need...

I need more room.

Scout leader botsford,
can I move my work station

Somewhere where
I can...

Concentrate?

Tobey, you can go
work where you'd like.

Go where your scout
senses lead you!

Mwah ha ha ha!

[Screech]

I know, bob,

But I can't keep
an eye on tobey

And earn enough badges
to win this award.

Oh, I know.
How about you go
follow him?

Won't that be fun?

Read up, robots.

I want my sash to hang
heavy with patches

By the end of today,

And heavier still
once I claim the award

That everyone wants--

The key to the city.

Then wordgirl will declare,

"Oh, tobey, you're
my skill-badge king."

Or something like that.

Just go earn me
some skill badges!

All right.
The latest tally shows

Tobey is in the lead
by one badge!

Tobey: actually,
scout leader
botsford,

You'd better
make that two.

Mrs. Botsford:
see? Didn't I say
if you worked hard,

You'd catch up
eventually?

Right you were.

If you were competing
for this award,

I'd say you deserve
the words-of-wisdom
badge.

Ho ho ha!

But it's still
anyone's key to
the city to win!

Final badge count
is in two hours,
city scouts.

Huzzah!

Becky: tobey, I know
you're cheating.

You're using
your robots

To help win
this award.

Becky botsford,
you don't know
the first thing

About this award
or any other award,

So shoo!

I know that an award
is a prize that
a person wins

For being the best
at something.

Yes, like me at badges.

No, not like you.
Like the fastest
runner in a race.

He or she might
win an award--

Say, a gold medal--
for being the best
runner.

But someone
who cheats
isn't the best,

And they don't
deserve an award.

This award was meant
for me,

And besides, I made
those robots,

So in a way, I'm earning
those badges myself.

Now if you'll
excuse me...

You know, bob,
maybe he's right.

Tobey did make
the robots,

So in a way,
they're kind of like
another type of tool.

Tobey: ha ha ha!

Hey! Now, that is
definitely cheating!

Word up!

[Tobey humming]

Stop right there, tobey!

[Scat singing]

Uh, I said stop
right there, tobey.

Hello!

Wordgirl! Just the person
I was thinking--

I mean, boo.
It's wordgirl.

I'm not really, really
happy to see you.

How have you been,
by the way?

I'm here to tell you

That your robots ruined
another scout's tree,

So I'm not going to
let you win a key
to the city by cheating.

Oh. This is a little
hard for me to do,

Given my motivation
for winning this award,

But robots, att*ck!

Whoa!

Huh! Huh!

Oh, hey, tobey.

I just saw wordgirl
flying away
with your robots.

Tough luck.

Don't look
so smug, becky.

Hey, becky,
do you want
one of my lanyards?

I made .

I think--i think
I might have really
pulled it off.

Whoo!

Scoops for the win,
I think.

Mrs. Botsford:
huzzah, scouts!

Scouts: huzzah!

Mrs. Botsford:
the contest is
officially over.

Congratulations
to all of you
for your hard work.

But as we know,
there can only be
one winner,

And here to announce
that winner

Is none other than
scout leader scott wild!

Wild: aoo! Scouts.

Thank you,
scout leader botsford.

Scouts, when I heard
scout leader botsford

Wanted me to present
this award to you today,

I paddled my homemade
canoe miles upstream
to be here.

That's how much
it meant to me.

But now that
I'm here, I see

It is not as big of
an event as I had expected--

Maybe not worth
miles upstream.

Not gonna lie.

I, to be honest,
expected a troop
of or kids,

Maybe a tv reporter.

Anyways, there's a key
to the city here,

And it belongs
to one of you scouts,

And that lucky
winner is...

Violet heaslip.

What?
What?

Ahem. Violet.

Hmm? What?

Scout leader
scott wild just
called violet heaslip.

Oh. Really? That's me.

Yay!

[Scattered applause]

Thank you,
scout leader sc--

[Birds calling]

Ok. Bye!

But hooray, me!

Scout leader botsford,
there has to have been
an error.

My robots worked--
uh, I mean, ahem--

I worked tirelessly,

And violet--she was
playing in a field
somewhere.

Getting her stop-
and-smell-the-roses
badge.

And then I saw her
tickling a chipmunk.

And that's the coveted
tickling-a-chipmunk
badge.

Very difficult.

Oh. Wordgirl was
going to see me.

Oh, I'm sorry,
tobey.

There will be
another chance
to win

The key to the city
eventually.

Eventually?

Eventually?!

Robots, att*ck!

Oh, my!

Robots, att*ck!

[Beep beep]

Robots, att*ck.

Well, congratulations,
violet.

Much deserved.
Got to be going. Ta ta!

Aah!

Scoops: well, you
earned it, violet.

You worked
really hard.

Yes, I did.

Hey, scoops, do you
want to hold the--

Hey, sure.
Yeah.

Announcer: and so,
while wordgirl defeated
tobey's robots,

It was violet who showed us
the real lesson

That winning an award requires
more than just talent.

It requires hard work
and determination.

So if you're still
trying to earn

Your wordgirl superfan badge,

Make sure to tune in to the next

Thrilling, stupendous,
colossal, fantastic--

[Screech]

I'll get to it eventually.

Amazingly awesome episode of...

[Screech]

"Wordgirl"!

♪ Wordgirl ♪

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 "discard."

To give you a clue,
here are some clips
from "wordgirl"

That show the meaning
of the word.

[Bell rings]

Phil, go ahead.

Discard means
to get rid of something
you don't want anymore.

Correct!
And don't mind if I do.

Uh, what are
you doing?

I'm tired of being
a game-show host.

I want to follow
my life-long dream.

I want to dance!

Uh, are you
going to tell me
what I've won?

Indeed. Huggy,
show phil what he's won.

[Applause]

Dance lessons
from none other than
yours truly,

Beau handsome!

Uh, I'm not sure
I want dance lessons
from you.

Of course you do.

Huh?

Well, that's it
for today's episode.

See you next time on...

"May I have a word?"

♪ Wordgirl ♪

Announcer: listen for the words

"Tranquil" and "haven."

Ah, yes. It's another
beautiful, tranquil morning,

And mrs. Botsford,
becky, and violet

Are heading up the mountain
for a relaxing girls' day out.

[Screeches]

I mean girls' day out plus bob.

[Ooh]

And thanks to this coupon,

It's a bargain!

Guests for
the price of

At the relaxation
center?

I'm ready
to rest my case...

And my whole body!

Ha ha!

A little district
attorney humor,

Which is what I am--a d.a.

I'm a d.a.

This mountain
is so beautiful.

Yeah, and it's so
far from home.

I hope we don't have
to race back to the city
for any reason.

Mrs. Botsford:
listen to yourself, becky.

You need to rest your case
as much as I do.

More d.a. Humor.

You guys aren't getting it.

Ha ha ha!

[Baa]

Becky:
mmm. Contemplative.

[Doors creak]

[Gasps]

Well, hi, everybody,

And welcome to walter
abernathy's center
for relaxation.

I'm walter abernathy,
certified relaxation master.

Mrs. Botsford:
nice to meet you, walter!

We drove up from the city
for a tranquil and relaxing

Girls' day out!

[Screech]

Bob's not a girl.

Bob, walter abernathy's
center for relaxation

Is a haven for everyone
looking to escape the city

And enjoy
the relaxation arts.

Like I always say,
if you want to chill,

Drive up my hill.

Oh!

It rhymes.

I'm a d.a.

Announcer: meanwhile,
back in the city,

Crime isn't taking
the day off.

Hello, chuck.
Did you find everything
you came in for?

Yeah, I found everything--

Everything except
all the money in
your cash register!

Did you bring a bag?

Why would I bring
a bag?

If you didn't
bring a bag,

I have to charge you
for one.

Wait, wait.
Could i, um, steal
a bag from you

As part of
this hold-up, then?

I don't see why not,
but remember,

Bring this bag with you
on all your future
robberies.

Thanks.

Ha ha ha!

All the grocery-store
money belongs to me

Because I'm chuck,

The evil
sandwich-making guy.

Ha ha hee ha!

And no one
can stop me.

Ha ha ha ha!

This is usually the part
where wordgirl stops me.

Yup.

She does that hero thing,

'Cause I'm the villain,
you know what I mean?

Sounds familiar.

Let me make sure
she heard me.

Ahem.

I'm chuck, the evil
sandwich-making guy,

At the grocer store,
which I just robbed!

[Echoing]
robbed, robbed, robbed.

And wordgirl might try,
but she won't ever
defeat me.

Ha ha ha!

Eh, uh...

So you're charging
for bags now?

That's right.

Oh, really?

Yup.

Announcer: meanwhile...

Walter: the best
place to start

A girls' day out plus bob
is right here in the quiet room.

This room is
a little too quiet.

I can't hear
anything outside.

Walter: you girls and bob
have busy lives.

Why, I'll wager
most days your head
is busy with thoughts.

Mrs. Botsford:
you're right!

Mine are all over
the place.

Ha ha ha!

I'm a d.a.

Walter: well, mrs. Botsford,

For now I want you
to breathe deeply

And let the quiet room
be your haven.

I'm not exactly sure
what a haven is,

But I like the word.

Becky: me, too.
See, the word
"haven" means

A safe place,
somewhere you can go

To feel comfortable
and relaxed.

Since this room
is soundproof,

It's a haven
for people who want
to escape

The noise and bustle
of the city.

Mrs. Botsford: wow.
With you around
to define things,

Wordgirl can take
a day off.

Oh. Ha ha.
But if wordgirl
were up here,

She'd want to be
able to hear

What's going on
in the city,
probably.

Walter: since the quiet room
is now your haven,

I want you now to let
the tranquility
of the mountain

Help quiet your mind.

[Gasp]

[Birds chirping]

Chuck?

Mrs. Botsford:
did you just say "chuck"?

Chuck? No, no, no.
I think what I said
was "check,"

As in, "hey,
chuck that out."

Well, join the party,
little friend.

I'm a d.a.

[Chitters]

Announcer: meanwhile,
back at the grocery store...

Chuck: did you know
I was in a hula
dancing contest

As a kid?

The hands in hula
tell a very special story.

Sure!

Like this.

♪ Da na na na
da na na na ♪

Still got it.

L-let me see something.

Rob store. I did that.

Laugh in triumph.
That happened.

Battle wordgirl
at scene of crime.

This is upsetting.

Wordgirl is supposed
to be here.

Maybe you've
robbed this store
so many times,

Wordgirl's tired
of coming here.

I know I'm getting
tired of you
robbing me.

You know, I never
thought of that.

Hold this for me
until I get back, ok?

I'm gonna go rob someplace
wordgirl can't ignore.

And don't try
to sell these,

'Cause I'm still
stealing them later.

Now y'all just
sit back, relax.

Feel the goodness.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Walter: let's try
another treatment, bob.

I'm gonna place
these cucumber slices
on your eyes.

[Slurp]

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

I knew that
would happen.

Thanks to bob,
this is the funniest
girls' day ever...

Although I've added
a couple of good ones.

Ah. I had no idea
how much I needed
a day off.

Announcer: while becky gets
more and more relaxed

At her tranquil
mountaintop haven,

Chuck tries to get
wordgirl's attention

With a crime spree.

Sad, really.

Uh!

Uh!

Ha ha ha!

[People screaming]

Do you know what
I like best

About hiking
around here?

[Panting]

Breathing clean mountain air?

The friendly animals.

The tranquil silence?

No, no, no.

When the hike is over,
lunch is waiting.

I don't know
if I've ever had

Such a relaxing
day.

[Screech]
me, too.

Chuck: wordgirl,
if you hear me,

I didn't do
a very nice thing.

Oh. Come on, bob.
Duty calls.

[Squeaking]

It's just chuck.

We'll race down,
defeat him,

And be back
in time for lunch.

Mrs. Botsford:
becky and bob,
are you coming?

Becky: we'll be
right there.

We just have
to, uh, wash
our hands.

Word up!

[People screaming]

Here I am, wordgirl!

Here I am!

Aha!

Hold it right there,
chuck!

Wordgirl, finally.
Here you are.

Thank goodness.
I've been a nervous
wreck worrying about you.

Now take some ketchup!

Ha ha ha!

You've been worrying
about me?

Yes, I've been
worrying about you.

Now, care to explain
where you've been

While I've been
running all over town

On a crime spree? Huh?

Huggy and I were
enjoying a tranquil day

Of relaxation!

We like to do that
once in a while.

Now, if you expect me
to believe

That you were so tranquil
that you didn't
have the time

To battle a dangerous
supervillain
on a crime spree,

Then I think we may
have different definitions
of the word "tranquil."

Um, what's your
definition of "tranquil"?

You go first.

Well, "tranquil"
means really calm
and peaceful.

A peaceful hike
in the woods
can be tranquil.

Even just
sitting alone

In a quiet room
can be tranquil,

Like in jail,
which is where
you're going!

Hey!

[Screaming]

Well, now I can at least
check number off my list.

Good job, huggy.

[Screech]

Well, we have to
get going.

But, hey, when you
get out of jail,

I'll tell you
about a great place

To get away
and relax.

Oh, thanks, wordgirl.
I'll see you when I get out.

I have it on a list.

Oh, you can plan
on it.

Good. I feel more
tranquil already,

Knowing you'll be there.

You know,
it's kind of sweet
how chuck missed us.

[Screech]

Yeah, but I'm glad
we got him back
in jail.

And now that
everything's ok,

I think we've earned
a little more
tranquility.

Now, isn't this the life?

Oh...

More lemonade, anyone?

Becky: yes, please.

I could go
for a topper.

Announcer: and so our hero
managed to spend a tranquil day

With her mom and best friends,

Stop chuck's crime spree,

And still make it back to
the peaceful mountaintop haven

To watch the sunset.

And now, as the sun sets
on this story,

Relax and remember,
you don't need a coupon

To watch the next
exciting episode of
