Narrator: hey, kids, listen
for the words "mastermind"

And "awestruck."

Becky botsford, aka word girl,

And her classmates are
in high spirits

Because today they're going
on a field trip.

Ok, let's settle down,
class.

I know you're
all excited to go to
the city candy factory

And meet zachary zany,
the mastermind who
invented so many of my--

I mean,
your favorite candies,

But listen up
for a second.

We're going to use
the buddy system.

Everyone grab a partner.

Want to be field-trip
buddies, violet?

Uh, do unicorns
have wings?

Well, some do, but really,
pegasuses are known to be--

Uh, I still want
to be buddies.

Me, too!
Ok.

♪ Buddies

I can't believe
we're going to meet

Zachary zany,
the candy
mastermind.

Me, neither.

I think he's going
to be awestruck

When I tell him some
of my great ideas.

How about this?
Gum you can chew.

[Giggles]
i...

Or cup-shaped
chocolate

With peanut butter
in the middle.

Yeah, I think
they've already got
that covered--

I want to be
violet's buddy!

And she wants
to be mine!

Actually, becky
and I are already
buddies.

It's my birthday,
so I can have
anything I want,

And you're my buddy!

Ok.
No, that's not how
the buddy system
works, eileen.

Yes, that is how it works.
Violet is mine.

[Screeching]
I know.

If she doesn't get her way,
eileen's going to turn
into birthday girl,

And a big, green monster
running around might prove
problematic on a bus.

Ok, calm down.
You guys can be buddies.

We're going
to have so much fun,
bestest buddy violet!

Yeah.

Come on, bob.

Hi.

Becky, uh, yeah,

All the students need
to be in their seat

Before the bus can leave
so nobody hits their noggin.

Uh, mr. Dudley,
I don't have
a buddy.

Ok, uh, you can
be my buddy,

Uh, becky.

Really?

Uh, I don't want you
to feel bad,

But I am surprised
you didn't pair up
with violet. Hmm.

Yeah.

That didn't work out.

Would you say
we're best friends

Or bestest
westest friends?

[Groans]
I'll be right back.

I have to ask becky
something.

Oh, no, you don't!

You're not going anywhere.

We're going to be buddies
forever and ever

And ever and ever
and ever and ever

And ever and ever...

Narrator:
finally, the bus arrives
at the candy factory.

Wow.
It's beautiful.

[Excitedly]
it's delic--ahem.

I don't blame you
for being awestruck.

I mean, I too
am completely filled

With wonder
and reverence.

Now let's keep it
orderly, everyone.

Find your buddy
and we'll walk,

Not run,
to the factory gate.

I might scoot ahead
a little bit.

Uh, behind me.
I'm first.

I mean, walk behind me.
Kids: yay!

Becky!
Violet! Yes!

Can we be
buddies now?

Does a pegasus
ride rainbows?

Yes, it does!
Whoo!

Buddies!
Buddies!

Hey, buddy!
I almost lost you there.

Uh...look, eileen,
you and I were buddies
on the bus,

But now I want to be
buddies with becky.

I'm sorry.
Is it your birthday?

Because it is mine.
Mine!

You think every day's
your birthday.

That's because every day
is my birthday.

Do you want me
to explain why that's
actually not possible?

Violet is my partner!
Mine!

Mr. Dudley:
now, listen up, class.

I know I don't need
to remind you we have
to be on our best behavior.

[Sighs]
I guess
we can't risk

Eileen ruining
this field trip.

Ok, eileen.
I'll be your buddy.

Mr. Dudley:
all right, class.
Let's line up.

Grab your buddy.

Uhh!
Mr. Dudley: becky?

[Sighs]
I'm first!
I'm first!

It's my birthday
and I'm first!
[Groans]

I'm first! I'm first!

It's my birthday
and I'm first!

Welcome, children.

It is my
distinct pleasure

To present to you
your host,

A man who built
this factory

With nothing but a dream
and lots of money.

He's the inventor
of chocolate sandals,
the edible shoe,

As well as chew-poo,
the chewing gum that's
also a shampoo.

He is candy mastermind
zachary zany.
[Plays fanfare]

[Jiggling doorknob]

Right. Ahem.

Greetings, children.

Let me ask you
a question.

What's the secret
to making great candy?

Oh! Imagination
and whimsy?

If by that,
you mean precision

And efficiency, then
you're absolutely right.

Precision and efficiency
are the opposite
of imagination and whimsy.

Mm-hmm.
Shh!
Excuse me,

But is zachary zany
your real name?

Oh, no.

Something
marketing
came up with.

Well,
that explains it.

Ah, yes.

Everyone's
always awestruck by
the bubble tester .

Wow! That's
the biggest bubble
I've ever seen!

Has it ever exploded
and shot gum everywhere
and then--

Of course not.

I'd never allow that to happen.
Think of the cleaning bill.

Uh...

All right, then,
moving on.

And there's something
and there.

And over there
and there, quickly,

And check it out
and there and...

Behind that door is
the candy imaginatrix
machine,

Which can produce
any kind of candy
you can imagine

As fast as you can
imagine it.

[All gasp]

Out of my way!
Out of my way!
I'm going in!

Uh-oh.
This could get ugly.

[Whispers indistinctly]

[Whistling a tune]
I've just been informed by

Whoever that guy was
that we're running
short on time,

So I'm afraid
we're going to have
to skip ahead

To the final
and my least favorite
stop of our tour,

The free candy
sample area.

Free sample area?

Ah! Me first! Me first!

Me first!

[Screeches]

Ok, children,
you'll each get
to select

One variety
of candy to try.

I believe there
was someone

Who may have
mentioned
something

About possibly
wanting to go
first.

Oh! Me, me, me, me, me!
I want that one!

Ah, yes.
My personal
favorite.

Becky: yikes.

I am awestruck at
this guy's cheapness.

But, hey, at least
eileen got to go first.

Maybe she'll be ok
with that.
More!

You've had
quite enough,
young lady.

Those samples are mine.

Mine, mine, mine!
Mine, mine, mine!

On the contrary.
They're mine,
mine, mine,

And I have
the paperwork
to prove it.

Oh...

Uh, what's that, bob?

You thought you saw
a gift shop?

Well, we'd better go
check it out.

Word up!

More candy! More candy!

All mine! Mine!

Now, perhaps
I wasn't clear.

It's one sample
each.

All right,
birthday girl.
You heard the man,

Even though you'd think
a candy mastermind would be
a little more generous.

No! It's my birthday
and I can have
anything I want!

Huggy! See if you
can slow her down!

[Screeching]

Ah! I can't see!

[Grumbling]

You're paying for that!

Ah!

Ah!

[Huggy screeching]

There's got to be
another way to defeat her.

Hmm. What's birthday girl's
one weakness?

[Screeches]
that's it! Her greed!

Hey, birthday girl,

All this candy's just
for regular people,

But I bet someone who's
celebrating her birthday

Could get something
really special from
the candy imaginatrix.

I want special candy!

That's the candy
imaginatrix?

I have to say,
I'm less than
awestruck.

It's my birthday,
and I want birthday candy!

Well, we'll see how
the birthday girl handles

Getting everything
her spoiled heart desires.

More candy!

More candy!

All the candy
is mine, mine...

I think she's finally
slowing down.

It's my...birth...day.

[Rumbling]
ooh!

[Groaning]

A tummy ache?

On my birthday?

No fair.

Ooh!

Ha! My plan worked!

Narrator: well, aren't you
quite the mastermind?

Well, I don't like to brag,
but if you're calling me someone

With exceptional intelligence
and creativity, then well--
heh--i guess I won't argue.

The zachary zany
candy company is
not liable

For any illness
due to exceeding

The recommended
limits for daily
candy consumption.

I think she just needs
to lie down.

Don't worry.
We know exactly how
to handle this.

Finally, we get to be
field-trip buddies.

Buddy!
Buddy!

Whoo!

Great news, children.

Mr. Zany was so happy

About word girl saving
his factory

That he's given
all of you
a special treat.

[All clamoring]

Once we get back
to the school,

I'll divide this up
so you can each have
a sliver,

And I will be
enjoying my candy on
the bus ride home.

[All groan]

Narrator: and so concludes
another delicious episode.

Tune in next time
and you'll be awestruck...

[Groaning]
by the adventures of
our own little mastermind,

Word girl.
