01x16 - Play It Again, Stan

[bunniefuu]

[Bell ringing]

- Get it, norville.

- [Barking]

- Uh-oh.

[Bell ringing]

- Hi. That's a tricky tricycle.

We made it with my magic stick.

'Cause today all the magic words

Start with the letters "t" and "r."

Together they sound like "tr."

So we can use words like tricky and tricycle.

[Bell ringing]

I think we're gonna have to trick the tricky tricycle.

- Huh?

- We'll pretend we don't want to ride on it.

We'll just stand here and play...

Triangles?

Triangles!

Here we are, playing triangles.

We don't want to ride on that tricycle.

- Nuh-uh. [Bell ringing]

[Triangles chiming]

[Bell ringing] - now, norville.

- Woo-hoo! Wow!

- Triumph! - Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

- [Grumbles] [toy squeaking]

[Humming]

- Hi! We're cleaning up all of norville's toys.

There's a lot of them.

- Uh-huh.

[Barking and squeaking]

- All done. [Hopeful whining]

- Oh, you want a treat, don't you, buddy?

- Uh-huh.

- Wait, treat.

Does treat start with "t" and "r"?

"T," "r." "Tr."

Yeah, it does.

That means it's a magic word.

Norville, I can make you a treat.

- Woo-hoo.

Thank you.

[Chomps] mmm.

- Hello. Hello? Stan of the swamp?

- Hmm. Sounds like someone's lost.

Come on. - [Barking]

- Ahh! - Ohh!

- Oh, it's the lightning snail.

- Yes, hello. I'm the new mail snail.

♪ I bring the mail on time

♪ With a lot of slime

I have a message for stan of the swamp.

Is that you?

- No, I'm wally of wally's house.

But I can bring you to stan.

- Great!

Let's go, go, go!

- I guess we better go, go, go.

- [Barking]

- Stan?

You in there? Stan?

- I'm not here. - Hmm.

- Yes, you are. We just saw you.

- Okay, fine. What do you want?

- Oh, boy.

I get to deliver my very first piece of mail.

[Giggles] uh, I mean, uh...

[Clears throat]

Here's your card, mr. Swamp monster sir.

Okay, thanks, bye, gotta go, go, go.

- Oh, that's my little four-year-old niece,

Marsha of the marsh.

- Hi, uncle stan.

- Oh, a talking card.

- Aw, she's so cute.

[Chuckles] what a great kid.

- Wow, stan never smiles.

He must really like his niece.

- Guess what? I'm coming to visit this afternoon.

- [Gasps] you hear that?

Marsha is coming to visit me.

This is fantastic.

- I can't wait to play with you.

Bye, uncle stan.

- Oh, no.

This is horrible.

- What's wrong, stan?

Don't you want to see your niece?

- Of course I do, but she wants to play.

I don't know how to play.

- What? - Huh?

- You don't know how to play?

What do you do all day?

- I sit in my mud,

Stir my mud,

Read my newspaper.

I like stories about mud.

- Stan, we can teach you how to play.

Norville and I play all the time.

Right, norville?

- [Barks]

- Hmm.

Well, I do want marsha to have a good time when she visits.

Alright. Let's see what this "play" thing is all about.

- Yes! Okay. Hmm.

Where's a good place to teach stan how to play?

- Hmm?

- Oh, I know. The playground.

- [Barking]

- What's a "playground"? Never heard of it.

- Don't worry. We'll show you.

To the playground!

- [Barking] to the playground!

- I'll miss you, mud.

- This is the playground, stan.

Isn't it great?

- What do you do here?

Both: play! - [Barking]

- You can swing. - Yeah.

- Or go down the slide.

- Uh-huh.

- Or play on the monkey bars.

- Monkey bars!

- Monkey bars?

I'm not a monkey.

- This might be harder than I thought.

Okay, let's start with the slide.

- [Barking]

- You just go up, and then slide down.

Mm-hmm. - Woo-hoo!

- Woo-hoo!

- Why do you keep saying "woo-hoo"?

- Because going down the slide

Is so much fun.

Try it. You'll love it.

- [Grunting]

Woo...hoo?

- Um, why aren't you sliding?

- Swamp monsters are very sticky.

- Okay, sliding's not your thing.

But don't worry,

There are lots of other things you can play.

Like...um... Oh!

You're going to love this.

We'll play in the sandbox.

- [Barking] woo-hoo. Yeah.

- A mud box would be better.

- Hmm.

What are fun things to play with in the sand?

Maybe we can make a toy truck or a car.

Truck or car?

Which word starts with "tr"?

Yeah! Truck!

We'll make stan a truck.

There you go, stan. A truck to play with.

- I'll try.

- I'll make us some too, norville.

- Oh yeah.

- Trucks!

- Vrroom! Beep-beep! Vroom! - Vrroom! Vroom!

Hey, stan, you having fun playing with your truck?

- Not really.

The horn doesn't work.

The steering wheel's too small.

How do you drive this thing?

- Stan, you're not supposed to get on the truck.

- You're not? Wah! Oof.

I don't like playing in the sand.

[Clears throat]

- Okay, you already tried playing on that and that,

And you didn't want to play on that.

Hmm. We need something else for stan to play on.

Magic stick, give me a word.

Thanks.

Whoa. Big word.

Hey, stan, do you know what that word is?

- Trampoline.

- Oh, yeah, trampoline starts with "tr,"

So we can make a trampoline!

[Both cheering]

- Look, stan.

You just bounce.

- Yeah!

- Okay, your turn.

- [Grunts]

Hmm. Not bad.

- See, I told you it was fun.

- Let's see if I can go higher.

Wah!

- Wait, not too high.

- I wonder if I can bounce higher than the trees.

Whoa!

- Hold on! You're going too high!

- I'm going to touch a cloud.

Whoa! [Screams]

- After that flying swamp monster!

- [Barking]

- Whoa!

- Ah! He's going to fall.

-[Gasps] uh-oh!

- We need another trampoline!

- Whoa!

- We need a lot of trampolines for stan to bounce on, norville.

- Uh-huh.

- Ooh. Maybe we can make a path of trampolines...

Or a trail.

Which word starts with "tr"?

"Path" or "trail"?

Yeah, trail.

Let's make stan a trampoline trail.

Trampoline trail.

- Whoa. Whoa!

I...don't...like... Trampolines!

[Screams]

- Stan, are you okay?

- Playing on a trampoline... Not fun.

Told you I can't play.

- Aww. - I know, norville.

Stan's getting really upset that he can't play.

I think he's feeling frustrated.

- This playing stuff is just too hard.

That's it.

I'm sending a message to my niece marsha

And telling her not to come.

Wait, stan of the swamp?

So he can play with his niece, marsha.

- I'm feeling frustrated.

- Mm, I see.

- Oh, I got it.

Let's play house.

I'll be the mommy.

Be right back.

And, norville, you can be the daddy.

- Huh?

- Oops, my costumes are too big for you guys.

- Uh-huh.

- Way too big.

Hmm, where are we going to find costumes for us?

Magic stick, give me a word.

Thanks.

Can you help me read this word?

Tr...unk. Tr...unk.

What word is that?

Yeah, trunk.

Ooh, I hope it's full of costumes.

- I hope it's full of mud.

- Yes, costumes.

Okay, norville, now you can be the daddy.

- Well, hello there.

[Humming] - [giggling]

- And I'll be the grandpa.

Hi, you kiddies, I'm grandpa.

- Ooh, and stan can be the baby.

- Aww. - So cute.

- Good-bye.

- Wait, stan. It's for marsha.

For marsha.

- Okay, stan, now say things like "goo-goo ga-ga."

- Goo-goo. And ga-ga.

[Rattling]

- Baby want a rattle?

- Nah, baby wants a newspaper. You got one of those?

[Gasps] - mommy knows what baby needs.

Baby needs to burp.

Come on, baby, burp for mommy.

- I don't need to burp. I'm not going to--

[Burps]

Huh. Guess I did need to burp.

- Now it's time for a walk, baby.

- [Grumbling]

- Is baby feeling tired yet?

- Yeah, tired of acting like a baby.

- Uh-oh. Grandpa thinks baby is cranky.

- Maybe we need to change baby's diaper.

- What?

No way. I'm out of here.

[Gasps] uh-oh.

[Screams] help!

- Runaway baby! After him! - [Barking]

- Wah! Wah! Baby doesn't like this.

- Oh, my baby.

- Don't worry, grandpa's coming for you.

- Daddy too.

- [Screaming]

- [Sighs] we've got to save stan!

Ooh, good thing grandpa has a magic stick.

Wallykazam! Wallykazaby!

We need a word to stop that baby.

Can you help me read this word?

Tr...ap. Tr...ap.

What word is that?

Yeah, trap. We can trap that baby carriage.

- Huh?

[Screams]

- All right! We trapped him.

Stan, you okay in there?

- No. I'm really frustrated.

Baby quits.

I'm going back to my swamp.

I can't play baby. I can't play in the sand.

I can't play on the slide.

And I can't play on the monkey bars

Because I'm not a monkey.

I'm going to send marsha a message

And tell her not to come.

Where's that mail snail?

All: ah!

- ♪ I bring the mail on time with a lot of slime ♪

- I have a message to send my niece, marsha.

- What? Oh, that's too funny.

I have a message from marsha for you.

Here it is, got to go, go, go.

- Hi, uncle stan. I'll be there really soon.

And then we can play.

I'm so excited.

- [Gasps] she's coming soon.

But I still don't know how to play.

[Sighs]

Well, there's only one thing to do.

- Keep trying?

- No. Hide in my swamp and never come out.

Bye-bye.

- Aww.

- [Barks] aww.

- Come on, stan. We have to keep trying.

- I told you, I can't play. Go away.

All: [gasps]

- Why did everyone just go [gasps]?

- Hey, stan, why is there a train on your head?

- Oh, this old thing?

Yeah, I had a lot of trains when I was a kid.

- So if you played trains as a kid,

Then you can play trains with marsha.

- But I didn't play with the trains.

I just liked to push them around

And go "choo-choo, choo-choo."

- Stan, that is playing.

- Is it? Really?

- Yeah.

We found something stan can play.

Trains.

- Woo-hoo! - Yeah!

- Alright!

- But I only have one train.

And it's really old.

And broken.

- Wait. Train. Tr...ain. Train.

Does train start with "tr"?

Yeah, it does.

Stan, we can make you a new train.

Train!

- Whoa! There's an engine and a boxcar.

Choo choo!

Ooh, a red caboose!

The caboose is always red, you know. Always.

Ooh, and how about some train tracks?

The shiny metal ones, those are nice.

- Tr...acks. Tracks. That starts with "tr."

Yeah, we can make those, too.

Tracks!

- Yes! Choo-choo! [Laughs]

Oh, goody, goody, goody.

What else can we do?

- Ooh, wally, you can make all this stuff tremendous.

- Tremendous?

- Yeah. It's a giant word.

It means really, really big.

- I would like that very, very much.

- Okay then.

Stan, let's make this train set...

Tremendous!

- That...is... Tremendous!

- I think stan likes it.

- All aboard!

Tickets please, tickets please. - Woo-hoo!

- Here you go. - Welcome aboard.

Marsha! You're here!

- Hi, uncle stan. Wow, is that a giant train?

- Yep, we made it just for you.

Come aboard!

- Aww, thanks.

Oh, I made something for you, too.

- "My favorite uncle."

Aww, I love it.

Thank you, marsha.

Oh, oh, toot the train whistle.

[Whistle tooting]

[Laughing]

The [span]swamp monster express is leaving the station.

[Laughter]

- Yeah!

Can you believe it? Stan is playing.

[Whistle tooting]

- I'm really glad you came to visit today.

- Me too, uncle stan.

And maybe later, we can play house?

- Oh, sure can.

Goo-goo, ga-ga.

[Laughter]
