[bunniefuu]

Lionel: no...

Leona: this one?

Uh-uh.

This one?

No.

This one?

No...

Uh, this one?

No way.

Uh, this one?

I don't think so.

Momma, daddy! Momma, daddy! Momma, daddy!

Wh-wha-wha...?

What is it, leona?

Momma, daddy, lionel is my designated reader today

And he won't read to me.

Yes, I will!

Leona just doesn't want to read

The books that I like.

Well, uh, have you tried looking

For a book that you both like?

Good idea.

Mmm!

Wait a second...

I don't like anything that she likes.

Oh, well, now, let's see what we've got here.

Oh!

How about the popcorn popper?

Yummy!

The popcorn popper, that's a good one--

I like that.

I like that one a lot.

Mom, you're like a genius or something.

Well, she's better than that, lionel...

She's a lion.

Oh...

( Purring )

( Sniffs )

I smell patrons!

Cubs, we'll see you later.

Theo, to the main desk.

Right behind you, cleo, my dear.

"The popcorn popper by pops popadopoulis"

A popular though nonexistent author.

Lionel:

Mmm... Do I love popcorn.

A popcorn popper!

I wonder how it works.

But, unluckily, I do not know how to read.

I know, I'll ask someone to read to me.

Hey! Can anyone here read to me?!

Oh, if only someone could read to me

Then I could make popcorn.

Are you my fairy godmother?

( Laughs )

Even better, dear, I'm your designated reader.

I read to people who don't have anyone to read to them.

I'm very popular.

Cool!

Can you read these instructions?

Positively.

( Clears throat )

Designated reader:

Lionel:

Mmm... Yummy.

Well, that will be all, designated reader.

All right, I'm off to read a bedtime story in ottawa.

Hey, enough already!

Stop that popper!

All: yeah! Stop the popper!

Stop the popper, stop the popper!

I can't, I don't know how.

Oh, if only my designated reader were here.

( Mumbling with mouth full )

( Swallows; laughs )

I mean, you called?

Oh, designated reader

Could you please stop the popcorn popper?

Hey, I'm a reader, not a magician.

But you can read the instructions.

Positively.

"The townspeople put all the popcorn in little bags

"And went to the movies.

"After that, the designated reader taught

"Everyone in the town how to read.

They read mary poppins."

Yummy!

Oh, that story always makes me hungry.

I sure wish we had some popcorn.

Yeah, me, too.

I wish we had a popcorn popper.

Yeah, well... We could if we asked click

To take the popper out of the book.

Both: click!

Click the mouse, entering with style!

Hey, click, could you please drag and drop

That popcorn popper out of this book?

Of course.

( Beeping, clicking )

Wow...

Wow...

And I can underline it, too.

( Beeping, clicking )

Uh, that's okay, click, thanks anyway.

Well, how about something in a nice border?

( Beeping, clicking )

Uh, no, no, click.

We just want you to drag and drop it

Okay, click?

I never get to be creative.

Wow.

Whoa, cool, huh?

Yeah!

All right, thanks, click.

Would you like me center it for you?

Both: no!

Very well...

Exiting unappreciated.

What do you say we make some popcorn?!

Yeah, all right.

I, uh, whoo...

How do you get this thing started again?

Oh, I remember the instructions to get it started.

So do i!

Both:

( Rumbling and popping )

Whoa, look out... Here it comes.

Yeah, exactamundo!

Ooga-chucka, ooga-chucka, ooga.

( Both laughing and munching )

Do you have any idea

What all this popping can lead to?

Both: popcorn!

Let's, uh...

Uh... Go!

Yeah, let's go!

( Grumbles )

The fools...

Once you've unleashed the power of the popcorn

It cannot be stopped!

Announcer: and now, lovers of the vowels "a," "e," "i," "o," "u"

And sometimes "y"

The vowelles are stopping the show

With the short "o" sound from their bopping hit word, "top"!

( Singing repeated short "o" sound to soul tune )

( Song ends; cheering and applause )

( Crowd cheering )

Gawain: excellent!

Gawain here once again at blending fields

Where two brave knights in armor

Will charge together at high speed and make a word.

Competing today, we have sir "h"...

( Crowd cheering )

And on your right, sir "op."

( Crowd cheering )

Blend on, dudes.

( Crowd cheering )

Gawain: "hop"!

Excellent!

That's gawain's word for today!

And this is gawain saying hop on back

And we'll see you next time on...

And now, world-renowned mezzo-soprano ms. Denyce graves

Will sing the sound of the letter "o"

In the word "opera."

( Conductor's baton taps )

( Singing short "o" )

( Cheering and applause )

( Cubs and pigeons munching )

Oh, I'm full.

Yeah, you know, I'm kind of full, too.

Oh, no more popcorn-- that's enough.

No, it's not enough!

Mm-mm, mm-mm.

Hey, you're right!

( All laughing )

More!

It's magic time with the great smartini.

Hey, thank you very much

Cute little announcer bunny!

And this is his beautiful assistant

The remarkable smarmy marmy smartini!

You're too kind!

And now i, the great smartini, will do

My amazing, trouser-defying short "o"-- "aw"-- trick.

Marmy, may I have two words

That have the short "o"-- "aw"-- sound in them, please?

Here, sonny boy great smartini

Are the words

"Popping" and "popcorn."

Thank you, marmy.

I will now put these words into my smartypants.

And now I will say a magic word, do a magic dance--

Yes, I'll do a magic dance in my magic smartypants.

"Obrocadobra"!

( Rhythm starting )

Ooh! Ahh!

Dancing smartypants, ooh, ahh!

Ooh!

Popping popcorn!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Oh, popping popcorn!

Oh!

Oh, give me some!

Oh, oh, oh!

Now twist your tongue around this one.

( Giggling )

Oh, I'm full!

That's enough popcorn!

No, it's not enough!

Yes, it is!

Leona, what do we say to stop the popper?!

Stop!

No, stop stopping!

If you stopped the popper, it would be, uh...

Um, um...

Both: terrible!

I think it's, uh...

No, no, no, that's not it!

It's, uh, it's...

No, that's not it!

Oh, I can't remember the right words.

Uh, neither can i!

( Both cheering )

Quick, put the lid back on!

Oh, the lid.

Whoa!

Both: oh...

( Yelling )

( expl*si*n )

Both: all right!

( Both yelling )

( Man making popping noises )

( Repeating "l" sound )

"Loll."

"Loll."

"Loll."

"Loll."

"Loll."

( Repeating short "i" sound )

"Loll... I."

"Lolli."

"Lolli."

"Lolli..."

"Pop"!

( Making popping noises )

"Pop."

"Lolli... Pop."

"Lollipop."

"Lollipop..."

( Slurping )

"Lollipop."

Flying off the shelf once again, it's the continuing

Daring and dangling adventures of cliff hanger!

Today's adventure:

"Cliff hanger and the big ape and the banana drop."

Chorus ( singing ):

We find cliff hanger where we left him last

Hanging from a cliff.

( Branch breaking )

Suddenly below him cliff sees a very big ape.

Quickly, cliff reaches into his backpack

And extracts his trusty survival manual.

Using his expert decoding skills

Cliff begins to read.

"When you see a very big ape

Disguise yourself as a very big banana."

Has brave cliff hanger made his escape at last?

Chorus: ♪ and that's why he's called cliff hanger! ♪

And now the word doctor with dr. Ruth wordheimer.

Hello.

Here's dr. Ruth.

( Creature moaning )

It must be time for another "long word freak-out."

( Yelling )

Ooh! Ooh! Dr. Ruth!

Dr. Ruth, you got to help me!

I was reading a letter from a friend of mine.

It said, "my dear monkey friend"-- that's me--

"Do you like," uh... "Do you like," uh...

What? Do you like what?

Whoa... This!

Oh, look how long this word is.

I can't read it, I can't!

So I can't answer my friend's question.

It's okay.

Now, take a deep breath.

Start on the left...

And read one part of the word

At a time.

Okay, okay, ooh! Ooh! I'll try.

"Hel... I... Cop... Ters."

Good-- now put the parts together.

"Helicopters."

Oh... Helicopters.

My friend wants to know if I like helicopters.

Do you?

No...

I love helicopters!

Ooh! Ooh! Thank you, dr. Ruth, thank you.

You're welcome.

I love helicopters, too.

Whoo, am I good!

( Yelling )

It's not stopping!

Stoppity... Stoppity...

Have some popcorn.

( Snickering )

Wait a second...

We can read the instructions!

They're on the popper!

They're not here!

Oh, no, they must have fallen off!

( Laughing and cheering )

Lionel, what are we going to do now?!

Quick, let's get click to put the popper

Back in the book!

That'll work!

No, no, no, no, don't get click!

Click! Click!

Click, please put the popper back in the book, fast!

Click: executing drag-and-drop- popper-into-book command.

Walter: no, no, no...

Oh!

( Groaning )

Click: the popping has stopped.

( Moans )

Lionel, that's great-- good job.

Well, thanks.

( Rumbling )

Lionel: oh, we have to find those instructions!

( Cheering )

Popcorn forever!

( Sniffs )

Theo, do you smell... Popcorn?

In the library?

Oh, don't be silly.

Oh, you're right.

Sick of all the rhinos frolicking in her room

Brave little monica maxwell has rounded them up

And locked them in her closet.

But wait a minute.

What's this?

Oh, no!

It's the evil "un" people.

They're putting an "un" in front of the word "locked"

Causing the closet to become unlocked.

Those doggone rhinos are loose again.

But despair not, brave little monica--

The heroic "re" people are here.

Look, they've rerounded up the rhinos

And relocked them in the closet.

Thank you, "re" people.

You're wonderful.

Walter: where are you? I can't see you.

Ready, here I come.

Marco!

Popcorn!

Mar... What the...

( Yells )

( Gasps )

I found it! I found it!

Read it, read it!

"To stop the popper, say..."

Whoo...

Yay!

It worked!

Walter: not "yay," "boo."

Now all we have to figure out

Is how to get rid of all this popcorn

Before mom and dad get back.

Well, yeah, when mom and dad see this mess

You're going to be in big trouble.

Me?!

Taking-the-popper- out-the-book thing

Was your idea.

Why would you listen to me?

You're not supposed to listen to me.

This looks like a job for, uh...

Us!

Yeah!

( Pigeons munching )

Whoa...

Whoa!

I can't believe they ate all that popcorn!

Cleo: leona?

Theo: lionel?

Both: where are you cubs?

I thought they were...

Oh, there they are.

( Laughing nervously )

Hi.

( Gasps )

Is everything okay here?

Uh...

Everything's fine.

Fine, fine, we're fine.

( Loud belch )

( Moaning )

You know what I can really go for right now?

A room full of... Water?

Exact-tacly.

( Laughing )

( Laughing )

It was lionel's idea.

Huh?

All of it.
