Narrator: listen for the words
command and locate.

We bring you
to the location

Of a crime already
in progress.

Come on, come on.
Hurry it up, boys!

I command you!

We need to steal
this cheese

Before you-know-who
shows up.

Hey boss, you-know-who
is here.

You know who?

Ohh! Word girl!

How did you find us?

Uh, I found this
on the street
this morning.

"Directions
to the scene
of our next crime."

Signed,
"the henchmen."

What?!
Oh, good going guys.

Write down the directions
and then put

Your name on it.

Hey. We wanted
to make sure we
didn't get lost.

Amateurs!

Goop ray
on the roof?

Walk me through
the plan here,
two brains.

Oh, happy to.

First, I'm going to
turn the roof

Of the cheese-eum--

Uh, one sec.

The cheese-eum
is the city's
only museum

Dedicated to rare
and expensive cheeses.

Continue.

Thank you.

Anyway, first I'm turning
the roof into goop

And then hauling away
all the cheese

With my mouse blimp.

Ingenious, eh?

Hmm. Wait a second.
Won't the goop
from the roof

Get all over
the cheese
down below?

Huh.

Didn't quite think
that through,
did you?

Uh, no.

But goopy cheese
is better than

No cheese at all!

I'm afraid
I have no choice
but to command you

To step away
from the goop ray.

Huggy, the henchmen!

Go!

Stand your ground, boys!

Uh, looks like
your henchmen
deserted you.

Hey, numbskulls,
give your boss
a hand here!

Just, uh, give us
a few minutes, boss.

Consider
yourselves fired!

What's it going
to be, word girl?

Stop me from leaving,
or stop that goop ray

From crushing
the oldest tree in the city?

[Chanting]

Not the oldest tree
in the city!

Everybody loves
the oldest tree!

I know!

That's why
it's a really
difficult choice!

Word girl: oh!

[Chanting]

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Thanks for letting
me get away!

Oh!

Bull's-eye!

[Squeak]

I'll be able to find
you soon enough.

Narrator:
later in his secret lair,

Dr. Two brains is looking
for a new sidekick or two.

Well, don't just
stand there!

Sell yourselves.
Impress me.

I'm not impressed.

Nah. Monkey sidekick,
it's been done.

Next.

[Ruff]

Next.

Boy, I am very
disappointed
in the talent pool.

[Meow]

Oh, this looks
promising.

Hello, mr. Uh, cheese,
is it?

What makes you qualified
to be my sidekick?

[Squeaking]

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

You love cheese?

Hey! So do i!

We have that
in common!

What are you do--

[Squeaking]

Oh. The henchmen
never helped me

Organize my
diabolical diagrams!

[Eeh-eeh]

Wha?

Very good,
mr. Cheese!

What don't you do?!

But I have one
final question.

If I make you
my sidekick,

Will you follow
all my commands

And do
whatever I say?

[Squeak]

Ha ha ha ha ha!
You're hired!

Word girl:
don't worry, huggy.

I put a tracking device
on him.

Where did I put that
bad guy locator?

[Squeak]

Well, it's a gadget.

We need it to locate
dr. Two brains.

You were playing
with it just
the other day?

[Squeak]

In the living room?

[Door opens]

Becky: uh, hey, dad.
What you got there?

I don't know,
but it is the most
amazing gadget ever!

What does it do?

Mind if I take
a look at it?

Ah-ah. Sorry, becky.

Until I know exactly what
this machine is made for,

I don't want my children
playing with it.

It beeped at me!

Bob, we have to get
that gadget away from my dad

And locate dr. Two brains
before he strikes again.

[Alarm ringing]

Uh-oh.
We're too late!

Um, dad, we're going
to the grocery store.

How can I love
this gadget so much

When I don't even
know what it does?

Narrator: moments later
at the grocery store...

Ok, dr. Two brains.
It's time to stop doing--

Who's the mouse?

Word girl!
What a pleasant surprise.

Allow me to introduce
my fantastic new sidekick,

The very motivated
self-starter mr. Cheese.

So you're through
with the henchmen?

Are you kidding?

Those jokers got nothing
on mr. Cheese here.

This guy is
a real sidekick.

He works hard
and obeys all my commands,

Right, mr. Cheese?

[Squeaking]

Ok. What just happened?

What's he saying?

He's saying, "I am
the devious mr. Cheese.

One step closer,
I turn the cheese to goop."

Hold on!
I am stealing the cheese.

You're just helping out.

I command you to stop!

What'd he say?
What'd he say?

No!

Save the cheese!

All right, huggy.
Let's haul them in.

Gah! Goop!

[Squeaking]

Yeah, yeah. All right!
I'm going, I'm going!

But I am not
your sidekick.

[Squeak]

Ok, mr. Cheese.

It's time
for a job review.

Let's get
one thing straight--

I give the orders!

For example,
I command you

To get out
of my chair.

[Squeaking]

I'm not
the sidekick here!

You're the sidekick!

Get out of my chair!

Get out of my chair!

Get off the chair!

Get off!

Get off!

Get off the chair!

Will you get
out of my chair?

Ugh!

What's this?

The super dooper
gooper scooper?

Hey. This could allow
me to melt the roof

Of the cheese-eum
without getting
the cheese all goopy!

If this gooper scooper
thingamabob actually
existed,

I would be your sidekick
in a heartbeat!

[Squeaking]

I may have spoken
too soon.

[Snoring]

We need to get
the bad guy locator back

So we can figure out
the location

Of dr. Two brains.

[Squeak]

Oh, a location is
the place where
something is,

And we need that
bad guy locator
to locate,

Or find,
dr. Two brains.

[Mumbling]

We have
to be sneaky.

Let's try the old
sidekick alley-oop.

Huh!

I'm awake!
Not really.

Nice work, bob!

It looks like
dr. Two brains
is located

Back on the roof
of the cheese-eum!

Word up!

What--what
is happening?!

Um, it's all
a dream.

Oh.

[Snoring]

Dreaming.

Ha ha!
Here you are!

We located you
before you
pulled off

Another
devious crime!

Two brains?

You got it, boss!
I'm on it.

Whatever you say, sir!

You'll be very pleased
with my sidekicking
mr. Cheese, sir.

[Squeak]

I'm not sure
what's going on.

It looks like mr. Cheese
is commanding

Dr. Two brains to do
all the work!

[Squeak]

Oh, well a command is
when someone tells you

What to do
and expects you
to do it.

Dr. Two brains:
excuse me, word girl?

Mr. Cheese has something
he'd like to say to you.

Um, ok.

[Squeaking]

He says, "i,
the unstoppable mr. Cheese,

Am the greatest villain"--

Sorry to interrupt,
but we've heard
this before.

Two brains, why
are you letting

The mouse be
in charge?

Oh, I have to, word girl.

That's just
the way it is.

I'm a sidekick.

I do what
mr. Cheese says.

Isn't that right, boss?

Well, I guess it
doesn't matter
who's in charge

Since we're taking
you both to jail.

Let's do this,
huggy!

[Squeaking]

Oh. Well, I guess
you take two brains

Since he's
the sidekick now,

And I'll deal
with mr. Cheese.

[Squeaking]

Timeout, monkey.

I need your help.

[Whispering]

Come here!

Stop moving!

[Squeaking]

Yeah, I still can't
understand you.

Ha! Got you!

Ok. Game over,
word girl.

We surrender.

You're giving up?

You do know
we're taking you
to jail, right?

I know that,

But anything is better
than playing

Second fiddle
to a crazy mouse!

Mr. Cheese, I am through
obeying your commands!

Now please take me
to jail where I can see

My old henchmen
and apologize.

They might not be
the world's most
dependable sidekicks,

But at least
they let me be the boss!

[Jail cell door opening]

Hey. It's charlie
and the other guy!

I've been trying to
locate you two for days!

It's good to be
back together,

Even if it is in jail.

Back together?

I thought you fired us
for not obeying
your commands.

Yeah, well, I was
wrong for f*ring you.

You guys are
the greatest.

Deal me in.

Aww, thanks boss.

I got to tell you.

You're lucky you've
been stuck in here.

I've been trapped
out there

With an overbearing mouse
named mr. Cheese.

The guy was intolerable!

Boy, am I glad to
be away from him!

[Cell door opening]

Aah! He's back!

Narrator: and so
with all the bad guys,

Including mr. Cheese,
located in jail,

All is well.

Now I command you
to tune in

For the next exciting episode
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 cower.

To give you a clue,
here are some clips

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

Ok! Take it away,
tommy!

Cower means to
crouch down in fear,

Something I'd know
nothing about

Because I'm not
afraid of anything.

What about snakes?
Nope.

Spiders?
Uh-uh.

Sharks?
Definitely not.

So, you're
telling me you're

Completely fearless?

Yep.

You seem rather
proud of that fact.

I am!

Well, good
for you, I guess.

Anyway, congratulations,
tommy.

You are today's winner!

Huggy, show him
what he's won!

An official "word girl"
indestructible shield!

Audience: ooh!

It's perfect
for protecting yourself

Against anything
you may be afraid of.

I told you, I'm not
afraid of anything!

Yes, you did.

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

See you next time on...

"May I have a word?"

♪ Word girl ♪

Narrator: hey, kids.
Today's featured words

Are ornamental and feline.

In the basement lair
of chuck the evil
sandwich making guy...

Hyah!

Target turkey slices!

Huh? Gahhh!

Hey. What was that?

Sorry, sorry.
Calm down, calm down.

It's just me.

The butcher?!

W-w-what are you
doing here?

Oh, well, so I was making
this chart the other day

Of all the other villains
I'd teamed up with.

Oh, nice.

Yeah, thanks.

And I noticed that
you and I had
never teamed up.

So you rushed
right over here

To see if
I was available?

Oh, I'm flattered.

Well, more or less.

Sort of. Not really.
Aw.

But anyway, after several
other options didn't pan out,

Then I rushed
right over here.

Oh!

I mean, think about it.

With my meat powers
and your whole sandwich thing,

We're perfect together!

There's no telling
how many crimes

We'll be able
to think up!

Yeah!

Hey, hey! All right!

Put her there!

[Grunting]

Gah!

You're not good
at this.

Ohh. Oh, let's start
thinking of some crimes

To come up with.

Narrator: uh-oh.

That sounds like trouble.

Meanwhile in the bedroom
of becky "word girl" botsford...

Ok. Are you ready?

[Squeak]

Ta-da!

[Squeak]

What is it?!

It's a bejewelerizer!

It makes stuff
more ornamental!

It bejewelerizes them!

[Squeak]

Ok. So do you think I
should just do the star

Or get a little wild
and do the whole costume?

Well, I do think
the whole word girl persona

Could use a little
more pizzazz, don't you?

So I thought, what better
way to do that

Than to take
the word girl costume

And bejewelerize it!

Make it a little
more ornamental!

[Squeaking]

Oh, stop worrying.

This is going
to look great!

Narrator:
back in chuck's basement,

What started out
with such promise

Has gotten a little,
well, mopey.

Ugh.

I can't believe
neither one of us

Can come up
with an original crime

With both meat
and sandwiches in it.

It's a good week to be
a cat-based criminal,
though.

"Auction of priceless
feline memorabilia,

"Valuable
cat paintings,

Rare cat statues."

Well, I used to be
a cat criminal.

The handsome panther?

Really?

Yes!
The handsome panther.

Once for a couple
of days,

The whole city feared--

And secretly loved--

The most charming
criminal around--

The handsome panther!

So?

So the timing is
right to have

The handsome panther
prowl the city
once again!

Oh, but that kind of
leaves you out, huh?

Well, I did have
a little kitten
as a partner once.

Aw. That's so cute!

I got it!

What if you dress up
like a kitten,

Call yourself
lil' mittens,
and steal stuff?

But where am I going
to get a kitten costume
in my size?

Ma! Where's my
sewing machine?

Becky: ok. So are you ready?

[Squeaks]

Ta-da!

What do you think?

Be honest.

Woman on tv:
how y'all doing?

You know who I am,
right?

Man: this is
a special news bulletin.

[Squeak]

I'm live at the scene
of a daring robbery
at the city museum,

Where two criminals
dressed up like felines

And calling themselves
the kitty cat criminals

Have just--did
I read that correctly?

The kitty cat criminals?
Seriously?

See that, bob?

New costume,
new criminals,
new adventures!

Let's go.

Yaah!
Aah!

We did it! Yeah!

The museum's security
was no match

For the combined power
of the kitty cat
criminals!

Right, lil' mittens?

Listen. I'm not feeling
totally comfortable
in this costume--

Hold it right
there--whoa.

Whoa.
Whoa.

What?
What?
What?

Why'd you say,
"whoa"?

Uh, well, no offense,
word girl,

But you're a little, um...

Ornamental?

I have no idea
what ornamental means.

Oh, well ornamental
means for decoration,

You know, anything
that makes something
look fancier.

Like how all these
little jewels make

My plain word girl
costume more ornamental.

Oh!
Oh!

So what do you think
of our new, uh...

Oh, well, because
you're back
in your, um...

The handsome panther!

Rooo-owr!

Right.
And the butcher.

I know, I know.

Enough talk!

Time for the kitty cat
criminals to pounce!

Rowr!

Ha! You missed--ow!

Take that,
word g--gah!

Yarn!

You can't match
the speed and grace

Of the handsome--oof!

Ow.

Great! Just great!

Now what am I gonna
do for a w*apon, huh?

Bacon bolos!

Ugh! Argh! Hey!

[Squeak]

Feline criminals
using meat
and condiments.

It's--
sorry! Surprise.

Hoo hoo hoo ha.

Argh!

It worked!
It totally worked!

We did it!

Hey, do you think
it's cheating

That we're
cat-based criminals

But we're
still using

Meat- and sandwich-based
att*cks?

Who cares?
We're criminals!

Yeah, I guess
you got a point.

All right! Still a ton
of crimes to commit!

Yeah!

Still no meat or
sandwich stuff to steal.

We should make a pact
right here right now.

As long as there are
cat valuables in town

To be stolen,
we'll steal them as
the kitty cat criminals!

Rowr! Heh heh hoo!

[Horns honking]

Oh, man. Chuck
and the butcher
working together--oof.

[Squeaking]

I'm not sure how
we're going to stop them.

Together, they're
just too tough,

But one at a time...hmm.

Wait! I think
I've got a plan.

Narrator: later at
edith von hoosinghaus' house--

Is that...

Chuck: rowr!

Shh.

Woman: may I help you,
gentlemen?

Was that you?

I don't think so.
Was that you?

Are you here to steal
my priceless porcelain
kitty collection?

How'd you know?

Well, listen lady--

They're right over there
on that display shelf.

The travel case is
right below them.

It'll make it much easier
to carry them out.

Oh, ok. Thank you!

She seems nice.

You know, you know,
you might be one

Of the most pleasant people
I've ever--

Heya, fellas.

Silent alarm.

Oh, man!

Hey! No fair!

Heh. See you guys
are sticking

With the whole
feline thing.

Feline?

Yeah, it means
like a cat.

Panthers and kittens
are both cats,

So that means
they're both
felines,

And so are you.

Ha ha ha!

Hey. I don't know what
you're laughing at.

Yeah. You look like
a disco ball with legs.

Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

Hey!

Your costume is
a little bright, dear.

It's ornamental!

Chuck: rowr!

Kitty cat mustard!

Hot dog--uh, meow meow?

Aah!

Oh, my!

Yeah! Kitty cat criminals
victorious again!

So are you guys
going to be feline
criminals forever?

As far as
you know, yeah!

Oh, then never mind.

I guess someone else
will have to commit

The perfect
meaty sandwich crime.

Wha?

Oh, it's just that
the museum got

This amazing
artifact in,

And it's the bejeweled
meatball sandwich

Of sabra cadabra!

Meatball?
Sandwich?

Bread made of diamonds!

Meatballs made of rubies!

Mmm. That sounds...

Delicious.
Delicious.

But I guess not
the right crime

For you guys
anymore, right?

Right.
Of course!

Uh, so, see you
later, word girl.

Handsome panther
away! Rowr!

Uh, yeah. Meow.

Narrator:
back in the basement lair

Of chuck the evil--
handsome--panther--something.

So, uh, another great
feline robbery, right?

Yeah! Feline
valuables. Yep.

How about that thing
word girl said
at the end, huh?

Oh, about
the meatball
sandwich?

Yeah, crazy!
I know!

Yeah.

I don't want it!

On. Still too many
cat valuables

On the board
right there!

Yeah. I was
thinking that!

I was just
thinking, uh--

[Cats mewing]

So are we stealing
the stuffed kitties or--

The cutie kitty
painting?

That's a--
that's a tough one.

I know.

We should sleep on it!

Yes! Great idea!

Sleep!

I'll go,
and I'll sleep!

And then I'll come back!

In the morning!

Yes!
Right.

And we'll
decide then!

Good-bye!

Bye!

Narrator:
later at the museum...

Shh.

Sorry.

Hold it right there,
butcher!

Ohh!

Hey! You set me up!

That's right! I did.

I knew you couldn't keep
the feline thing going!

Huh.

Hey. You've got
your old costume on.

Yeah, the ornamental
one isn't all that great

For surprising people.

Plus those little jewels
get really itchy.

Oh, yeah?

Well, that fake cat
fur gave me a rash.

Aah! Oof!

Oh, hey, everybody!

The roof isn't
as strong as it looks.

Oh! Butcher?

You're here to steal
the jeweled meatball
sandwich, aren't you?!

How dare you!

I thought
we were a team!

A team? Oh, I see.

And you were
on the roof, why?

Out for
a rooftop stroll?

Well, I hate
to break this up--

Then don't.

Hot dog hullabaloo!

Yeah! Mustard, um--

I'm f*ring mustard
at you!

Aw, man.

I think we all learned
a valuable lesson here.

Sometimes when you've
got something good
that works,

You don't have to
change it, right, huggy?

Huggy?

Hey, nice!

Ooh! Shiny.

Narrator: and so the feline
and/or food-based foes

Are no match
for the force of word girl

And captain huggy face!

Now he looks good
bejewelerized.

Every show could
use an ornamental monkey

Every once in a while.

Join us some time

My favorite
word is cuddly.

I like that word because
I like to cuddle

My mom and my dogs.

My favorite word
is plethora because

It rolls of your tongue

It's fun to say.

Plethora. Plethora.

Squeamish means
