02x05 - New Shoes / Not My Mess

Post by bunniefuu »

All right everyone, let's get started.

I am Mister Newman;

Mister Anthony's twin brother,

and I'm going to be teaching his class today.

Mister Newman?

What are you doing here?

You're not supposed to be teaching my class today.

I'm not? No.

You're supposed to be teaching my class tomorrow.

I'm sure you asked me to teach the class today.

Hey...

Are those my brand new shoes?

MR. ANTHONYUm, yeah.

I really liked the colour, so I borrowed them.

But they're my brand new shoes!

I didn't say you could wear them.

Well, I didn't say you could teach my class today.

Mister Anthony... Yes, Ethan?

Are you guys fighting?

Well, we're not FIGHTING fighting...

we're just having a disagreement.

Just because we look alike...

...Doesn't mean we think alike.

Sometimes, when we have a disagreement,

I start to feel all

hot and tight...

Like when I'm feeling mad.

Well, Mr. Anthony taught us

when we're mad and all hot and tight,

it helps to do the twirl-a-whirl.

MR. ANTHONYRight, the twirl-a-whirl!

It makes you feel cool and floaty, not tight at all.

Try it!

Okay...

MR. ANTHONYAlright, I'll do it, too!

(Kids giggling)

Oh, come on Mister Newman, you can do better than that!

(Kids giggling)

MR. NEWMANWhew, you're right.

I do feel better. Not so hot and tight.

MR. ANTHONYYeah guys,

thanks for remembering the twirl-a-whirl.

But you're still wearing my brand new shoes.

And you're still not supposed to be

teaching my class today.

So what are we going to do?

You know what, I think it's time for a Napkin Man story.

That's a great idea, Liam!

Can we tell it, Mister Anthony?

That's a DOUBLY great idea, Amelia!

This one is about the time Napkin Man

helped two robots...

Named Rocky and Roly.

They were brothers.

Just like us! Yep, just like you.

Cool.

Well, I'm off to Robot World to see Rocky and Roly.

Ah, robot world!

It's so shiny and so -

Wah!

Whoops! Sorry about that, Rocky.

That's okay, Napkin Man.

Uh, Rocky,

I don't mean to be, uh, nosy,

but are you missing your nose?

Oh, you're right!

I AM missing my nose.

(Laugh)

Hmm...

Ah, there it is!

Oh, thanks, Napkin Man! Good thing I'm a robot.

My parts snap right back on easy-peasy!

Lucky you!

I was just on my way to the Robot Shop


to get some super- stretching robot arms

that can stretch and stretch really long!

Want to come along?

I sure do!

Okay, hop aboard!

Whoa!

Fantastic jumping, Rocky!

Yep, these are special super-jumping legs.

ROBOTSHey, Napkin Man!

Howzit going, Napkin Man?

Hey, Boltzy! Hey, Rivet!

New sprocket, Mrs. Fenderblast?

Why, yes! (Giggle)

Thanks for noticing, Napkin Man.

So Rocky, where is your brother, Roly?

Oh... (Pant) I dunno.

I haven't seen him all morning.

Yowza!

Look at all these amazing robot parts!

One of the best things about being a robot

is you can change your arms, legs,

and even your ears -

(laugh) anytime you want!

Really? What about your head?

(Laughing)

A robot can't change his head, Napkin Man.

That's just crazy talk!

But arms, well,

there are so many different arms,

and they do so many different things!

There are throwing arms,

and lifting arms,

and waving arms - hello! -

and windmill arms,

and ham and cheese sandwich-making arms.

And best of all...

Hey!

Where did my super- stretching arms go? (Ding)

Roly! I was wondering where you were!

Napkin Man!

(Chuckle) Roly!

Are those my super- stretching arms?

Well, yeah, they are.

Wait a minute,

are those my super-jumping legs?

Well, maybe,

but those are MY super-stretching arms!

And those are MY super-jumping legs!

Boy, boys!

Now wait a minute.

It looks to me like you guys are getting a bit hot.

Yep, we are.

Because we're both feeling mad.

Well, then...

It's time for you robots to cool down

by doing the Twirl-a Whirl!

Like this -

It makes you feel

all cool and floaty...

Give it a try.

Okay!

ROBOTSWooo! Ahhh!

Feel any better?

Yeah, not as hot.

Nice and cool.

But we still have our problem.

Roly's got my super- stretching arms!

And Rocky's got my super jumping legs!

Hm...

Well, I have a song

that just might help.

♪ I know you both are angry, ♪

♪ and you don't know what to do, ♪

♪ But I know a word that just might help. ♪

♪ And I'll be glad to share it with you... ♪

♪ It may not be a word you've heard before, ♪

♪ but you will be surprised... ♪

♪ Because this handy little word ♪

♪ can cut your problems down to size... ♪

No lies? No lies!

♪ That word is compromise! ♪

Compromise?

♪ Compromise!

But what's it mean?

♪ I'll summarize...

♪ You give up a little bit, ♪

♪ and you give in a little, too. ♪

♪ Then you find a solution ♪

♪ that suits both of you... ♪

♪ Like say you're in a balloon

♪ high up off the ground...

♪ You wanna go up,

♪ and you wanna go down.

What to do? Let me show you.

♪ First you go up, then you go down, ♪

♪ then you can hover half-way off the ground. ♪

That's kinda like going up AND down!

♪ See, there's always a solution to be found... ♪

♪ Like if you want some jam, and you want a banana, ♪

♪ you can compromise if ya wanna! ♪


♪ Jut put them together and make a new dish! ♪

ROBOTS♪ Jam and banana are super-delish! ♪

♪ There's always a way ♪

♪ you can both get your wish, ♪

♪ if you just - (Music stops)

What was that word again?

Compromise!

Yeah, compromise!

♪ If you just com...

♪ prom...

♪ ...ise!

MR. ANTHONYI know!

Why don't you compromise

and let your brother use

one of your super stretching arms?

MR. NEWMANRight, and Roly,

you should compromise and let your brother

use one of your super-jumping legs.

That way you'll both have one of each!

ROBOTSThat's an awesome idea!



♪♪



This is GREAT!

I can bounce AND stretch!

And I can stretch AND bounce!

Wow!

Look at you boys go!

(Cat meow)

Whoa, did you hear that?

It's a kitty-cat robot, and it sounds like it's in TROUBLE!

We have to rescue it!

Good thing we each have

one super jumping leg to get us there fast!

(Meow)

There's the kitty, way up there!

Better use our super-stretching arms.

ROLYI'll grab here... ROCKYAnd I'll grab here.

(Cheering)

I want to cuddle him first.

No!

I want to cuddle him first.

I know!

Let's compromise and cuddle him together.

That's a GREAT compromise!

ROBOTSAww...

OTHERSAww...

BROTHERSAw, that's so cute!

Jinx!

You know, we need to compromise, too.

We both want to wear my new yellow shoes.

Well there are two yellow shoes, right?

Right.

So, you could each wear one yellow shoe.

That would be a great compromise.

Yeah, that way,

you'd both be wearing the same pair.

One blue, one yellow.

Perfect! Yeah, perfect!

Okay...

Pass it down.



Thank you.

And what about Mister Newman being here today?

Well, we could compromise

and we could BOTH teach the class.

That's a fantastic compromise.

Thanks you, guys.

When Mister Newman and I were little kids,

we played all sorts of games together.

I wrote a song about it.

♪ We're Napkin Brothers...

♪ We're here for you...

♪ We look the same, but we're not! ♪

♪ We're your Napkin Twin Brothers! ♪

(Kids laughing)

Step right up, one and all, and help get ready for

our Fantastic Fun Fair!

Test your aim at the Beanbag Toss!

Have your portrait done by one of our amazing artists!

And test your ball-throwing skills

at Sir Ahmet's block castle!

Before we can start the fair,

everyone needs to help

and clean up the classroom!

Hey, where did Ahmet go?

Excuse me, Sir Ahmet, may I have a word?

We all need to clean up our mess

before we can start playing.

But Mister Anthony, I already cleaned up MY mess!

Good job, but we all need to work together

to clean up the whole classroom -

even some of the mess that we didn't make.

That's not fair!

Why do I have to clean up

everyone else's mess?

Sometimes it stinks

when things aren't fair,

and I'm glad you told me how you feel.

You are? You bet!


I still feel like it's not fair,

and that makes my face feel all scrunchy.

Well, I know an old carnival trick

to help stretch out

and un-scrunch that scrunchy face.

You do? Uh-huh.

It's called the Rubber Face Stretch.

Check it out.

First you have to scrunch up your face real scrunchy...

And then you stretch out some pieces, one at a time...

(Laugh) Very good! You look funny!

(Laugh) You look funny.

Do you feel better? My face feels better,

but I still don't think it's fair

that I have to clean up a mess I didn't make.

Hmm.

Do you think a Napkin Man story would help?

Maybe. Well, let's see.

This one is about the time that Napkin Man

visited Tidy Town Fun Fair

and helped a little boy named Timmy

who thought that things were kind of unfair.

Hey, Timmy sounds like me.

MR. ANTHONYOh yeah, he does!

Alright...

I think you'll really like this one.

Alright, shall we call Napkin Man together?

Yes.

BOTHOne... Two... Three...

Napkin Man!

Hi, Ahmet! Hi, Mister Anthony!

Whoa! Oof!

Hey, ten points!

Not bad for my first try.

I'll help you, Napkin Man.

Thanks, Ahmet! And now...

CROWDHip! Hip! Hurray!

Hip! Hip! Hurray! Hip! Hip! Hurray!

TIMMYNapkin Man!

Welcome to Tidy Town,

the tidiest town around!

It looks great, Mayor Timmy.

How do you keep it so tidy?

Oh, I'll tell you!

It's all thanks to Mayor Timmy.

FRANThat's right!

Mayor Timmy's rule

is everybody has'ta clean up

their own mess!

Napkin Man, meet my friends,

Baker Bill and Farmer Fran.

Nice to meet you!

Would you like a cupcake?

(Mouth full) Pleased to meet you!

Howdy, Napkin Man!

How's about a hay ride?

I just washed ma' tractor!

(Wind blowing)

Hey! Uh-oh!

(Gasp)

Looks like thar's a wind-storm a-coming this way!

Quick, everyone, to Town Hall!



♪♪

Phew! That is some storm!

If it's too windy,

we might have to cancel the fair.

(Gasp)

I reckon this storm'll pass right-quick!

(Laugh) What'd I tell ya?

The wind storm's over!

We farmers really know our weather.

(All cheering)

(Crowd gasping and shocked murmuring)

Tidy Town looks more like

Topsy-Turvy Town!

Oh, dear, it's messy - really messy!

Our Fun Fair is ruined!

Good townspeople of Tidy Town!

If everyone cleans up their own mess,

the fair can go on!


(Crowd cheering)

Okay, on the count of three,

let's all clean up our own mess.

One... Two... Three!

Huh.

Uh, is this thing on?

Um, may I?

♪ Lalalala

Seems to be working.

But why isn't anyone cleaning up?

Clean up my pies? Why should I?

I didn't make the mess. The wind did!

Besides, your hay is all over everything!

But I didn't blow it all this way and that.

I didn't make the mess!

(Townspeople arguing)

Seems like nobody wants to clean up

because they didn't make the mess -

the wind did.

Napkin Man, if we don't tidy up Tidy Town,

we'll have to cancel the Fun Fair!

That would be the most UN-fun day ever!

We can't let that happen.

So let's get cleaning, Mayor!



What? But it's not MY mess.

I know, but the sooner we get it all cleaned up,

the sooner we can start having fun!

But that's not fair!

I know it doesn't seem fair,

but if we don't want to say

goodbye to our fair day,

we should all help out.

Ugh! My face feels all scrunchy.

Yeah, me too! My face is scrunchy, too!

I can tell by those scrunchy faces

that you're all having the 'it's-not-fair' feeling.

Let's un-scrunch those faces

with the Rubber Face Stretch.

Like this...

Mister Anthony, if everyone helps tidy up,

they'll be done even faster.

Well that's a great idea, Ahmet.

Why don't you tell the good folks of Tidy Town?

Citizens of Tidy Town!

I know it's not your mess,

you can all have fun together at the Fun Fair!

Thanks again!

Here, Napkin Man, I baked you a pie

to thank you for all your help!

Gosh, thanks, Baker Bill!


(Sniff)

I hope yer holdin' on tight,

because it's hay ride time!

Oops!

I made a mess.

Mm! A delicious mess!

(Laugh) Here, Napkin Man,

let me help you clean that up.

Oh, that's okay, Mayor.

This is one mess I'm happy

to clean up all by myself.

Mm!

And that's the story of how Napkin Man helped Mayor Timmy

get Tidy Town all cleaned up.

Thanks, Mister Anthony.

That was a great story!

I'm glad everyone got to have fun at the end.

I think I'll help clean up now.

Because it's nice to help out,

and the sooner things are tidy, the sooner we get to play.

That's a fantastic idea!

Now I've made a mess!

Don't worry, Mister Anthony, I'll help you clean up...

And then you can pick out your prize.

Prize? What for?

For knocking over my block castle!
