Narrator: just an ordinary day

As the botsford family prepares
to do a little shopping

At the only grocery store
in town that still
allows monkeys.

Ok, everybody, let's just
try and get through this

As quickly as possible.

Becky, stick with me

And make sure
bob doesn't go near

The lobster t*nk
this time.

Becky: aw, mom, he just
wanted to make friends.

Mom, can I have an advance
on my allowance?

Why?

So I can buy
some snappy snaps.

Honey, I'll buy you
snappy snaps.

You will?
Awesome!

I need boxes.

Uh, what?

With just more
box top coupons,

I can get the new
wordgirl utility belt!

The wordgirl utility belt,

With grappling hook,
flashlight,

And special,
secret compartment

To hold
your snappy snaps.

I don't use
any of that stuff.

Why would you?
You're not wordgirl.

Right. Right.
Of course I'm not.
Ha ha ha ha.

Uh, oh, look, guys!

There's a sale
on...food.

Oh! That's
on our list!

Narrator: meanwhile,
at the bank,

Granny may is doing
some shopping of her own.

Can I help you, ma'am?

It looks like
you're squinting

To read that piece
of paper.

Oh, thank you.

I seem to have
forgotten my glasses.

Could you be a dear
and read this for me?

This coupon
entitles the bearer

To one free toaster,

And all the money
in the bank.

Ooh, that's a bargain.
I think I'll take it.

Hmm, that's strange.

I've never seen
this coupon before.

What? I didn't spill
the soup on the floor.

Why do you think it was me?
Because I'm old?

But that's not what i--

You should be
ashamed of yourself.

I'd like to talk
to your manager.

Please, ma'am, there's
no need to get upset.

I'll be right back
with your money.

Now that's more like it.

Have a nice day!

Hey!

Oh, it's ok, sweetie.
I have a coupon.

Wow.
That's a bargain.

Whoops, I almost forgot
my free toaster.

Narrator: moments later,
at a nearby used car lot...

Oh, thank you, ed.

Ed: all right,
granny may,

You enjoy those
new wheels, y'hear?

What a nice old lady.

Hey, ed, did you just
give that little, old lady

Every car on our lot?

Sure did, bill.

Yeah, but she didn't pay
for any of them!

Well, she did have
a coupon, sir.

Give me that!

It's in the fine print.

You gotta squint
to see it.

Ahh. This coupon entitles
granny may, bla bla bla...

All the cars she wants,
proof of purchase
not necessary...

Expires december .

Looks real to me.
Let's go to lunch.

Narrator: meanwhile,
in the cookie aisle...

Look at that.

Can you imagine
if she just came
to life right now?

What do you think
she'd say?

That you have
cookie crumbs on your face?

Yeah. Don't think
she'd say that.

Don't be so sure.

Come on, bob, let's see
if they're giving away

Any free snack samples.

This coupon
entitles me to

Two-for-one
on cans of tuna,

And the combination
to your safe.

I'm sorry, ma'am,
but I think I'd
remember printing that.

What?
How dare you interfere

With a poor, old lady's
bargain hunting?

Somebody ought
to teach you a lesson.

Thank you, but
I'm not interested
in learning how to knit.

However, if you
happen to know

How to touch your nose
with your tongue,

Now there's a skill
I'd like to--

Ahh-yah!

Now, then, dearie, what's
the combination to the safe?

Mmmph mmph mmph...

Oh, hold on.

You're getting the yarn
all wet.

Vanilla pudding on pickles?
Ugh.

Wait a second!
That looks like
granny may,

And she's got the store manager
wrapped up in yarn!

Come on, huggy.
[Chatters]

How did you get
such pretty teeth?

Wordgirl: word up!
Hey, watch where
you're going!

Now, then,
where were we?

Oh, you're not
going anywhere

Until you tell me
the combination
to that safe.

I have a coupon!
It's mine!

Never! But do you want
a job as a shelf stocker?

We could use another
strong set of hands.

Let him go, granny!

Oh, hello.
Have we met?

Of course we have.

Hmm. You don't
look familiar.

Don't try that
old squint routine
with me, granny.

"Rinse machine"?
Oh, no.

I do my washing
on the line, thank you.

You heard me.
I said
"squint routine."

You know,
squint--to squeeze
your eyes together

So you can get
a better look
at something...

Like this.

Uh-huh. Whatever you say,
whoever you are.

[Sigh] I'm wordgirl!

And this is my sidekick
captain huggyface!

Nope.
Not ringing any bells.

And I'm sure I'd remember

A little girl
with a giant pet rat.

[Chatters]
whatever. Just let
the store manager go!

Oh, all right, since you
put it that way--hi-yah!

Ha ha, you missed.

Oh, I did, huh?

You kids think
you know everything.

Aah!

Now, excuse me, angel.

I got to go finish
my shopping.

Ta ta!

Becky? Bob?

Has anyone seen a girl
with a monkey and a lobster?

Narrator: wordgirl
and her trusted sidekick
captain huggyface

Scan the skies.

I don't see her
anywhere, huggy.

Maybe granny may's
done with her

Diabolical
coupon caper.

Narrator: I wouldn't
count on it.

Really? Why?

Narrator: uh...truck-full-
of-stolen-cars-

Parked-outside-
the-jewelry-store.

Oh, right.

Thanks!

Here's a buy-one-get-one
on laundry detergent.

Free giftwrap
with purchase?

Oh, not
that one, either.

Oh, here it is!

Senior citizen discount:

One free jewelry store,
and everything in it.

Ma'am, I'm afraid I am unable
to honor any coupons from you.

What? Why not?

Evidently you're
a wanted thief.

"Where's
the haunted beef?"

How should I know
where it is?

No, I said, you're
a "wanted thief."

Oh. You really should
get your hearing checked.

Well, that looks
nothing like me.

Though I will say
that's a mighty fine
young lady.

Might want to check your eyes
while you're at it.

I heard that one.

Not so fast, granny may!

You again?!

I still don't understand why
a pretty superhero like you

Would let a rat
follow her around.

Now, just a minute.

Huggy is a monkey,
not a rat.

Sure, he's
a little scruffy,

And he never
stops eating,
[chatters]

And he chews
on his toenails...

[Chatters]
sorry.

Little girl, I think
you need a "time out."

Ohh!
Ha ha ha!

We're not falling
for that old trick again.

Ooh, you're
a smart one, missy.

Thank you!

Not that smart.
Granny perfume!

Take cover!

Augh, it's horrible!

Granny may:
hee hee hee.

[Coughs] oh, dear.
Smells of mothballs.

Sorry to shop and run!

[Chatters]

Huggy? Huggy?
[Chattering]

Atta boy, huggy.
[Growling]

Oh. I guess I should
clean all this up, huh?

Narrator: granny may has escaped
to her dastardly lair,

But she seems to have
an unexpected visitor--
in the rafters.

Shh!

Narrator: [whispering] sorry!

That meddlesome,
smarty-pants wordgirl

Almost had me that time.

Luckily I'm older
and wiser...and also wiser.

Narrator: you said
that already.

Mind your manners, now.

Narrator: yes, ma'am.

But now I can plan
for my biggest caper yet--

A coupon that gives me
eternal control of the city!

[Laughs, coughing]

Oh, I think
I better put a kettle on.

[Crinkling]
[gasp] what was that?

Well, at least you knew enough
to keep to the plastic.

I don't want you to shed

Any mangy,
flea-bitten rat-hair

On my nice couch.

Prepare to be subdued
by yours truly,

Captain huggyface,
superhero.

P.s., I am a monkey,
not a rat.

Oh, no, how will i,
a little, old woman,

Defend myself?

I guess I should
just give myself up.

Yah-yah-yah!

Well, if you'll
excuse me,

I have to go to make my coupon
to rule the city forever.

Your coupon-cutting days
are over, granny may!

Oh, all right.

I guess you've caught me,
whatever your name is, girl.

Wordgirl.

Oh, it's just so hard

For a little, old lady
in this big, ol' world.
[Sad music playing]

Everything is so
expensive these days.

Is it so wrong
to hunt for bargains?

Oh, come on!
You're not bargain hunting!

A bargain is when
you buy something

For a lot less than it's worth.

Well, that's what I did.

Wordgirl: no, what you did
is called stealing.

You made those coupons yourself
in order to get free stuff.

Well, free is
the best bargain
there is.

We'll see how good you are
at bargain hunting

When I destroy your
coupon making machine.

Keep away from my machine.
And no shoes on the carpet!

Just try and stop me.

Don't mind if I do.

Let's see how you fare

Against these petrified
purse mints!

Oh, aah,
they're so...minty!

They're...burning...
My eyes!

Ha ha!
Too bad, wordgirl!

And now to print my coupon
and take over the city.

Huggy, stop her!

[Chattering]

Granny may: augh! There's
a dirty rat in my hair!

That's better!

Oh, my precious coupons!

Huggy, move in!

Granny may:
oh, now, don't tell me
you're still mad

About that whole
"rat" business.

[Chattering]

Let's go, granny.

We're taking you downtown.

I'll get you, wordgirl.

You won't get away with
ruining my pride and joy!

She sure is mad that
we destroyed her
coupon machine.

Granny may: I'm talking
about my sofa!

Oh, look at those stains!
How am I gonna get those out?

Get your feet
off of that table!

And use a doily!

Narrator: with granny may
behind bars,

The citizens of the city can
safely hunt for honest bargains
once again--

Thanks to wordgirl
and captain huggyface.
[Chattering]

Join us next time,
where the action and adventure

Are free, without a coupon.

Nice tie-in.

Narrator: thanks...on the next
episode of "wordgirl"!

Word girl.
