Announcer: listen for the words
"masterpiece" and "gasp."

Narrator:
it's a normal day downtown,

Where becky "wordgirl" botsford

Get ready for another
difficult art class.

Hey, bob, does this
look like a bunny?

Hmm...

You could've
just said no.

All right, class.

I'd like you
to close your mouths

And open your hearts
to our newest student--

Theodore mcallister iii.

[Gasp]
[gasp]

Oh, miss champlain,
that's so formal.

We're all friends here.
Please call me tobey.

Tobey? Ooh,
that's a fun name.

Yes. It is.

What's tobey
doing here?

Narrator: I don't know.

Uh, talking
to bob.

Narrator: oh, sorry.

Greetings,
fellow artists.

It is my pleasure
to join your ranks

And be a part
of the glorious
future of art.

My, what
a charming painting.

I should have
no problem being
the best artist here.

Oh, why, becky,
hello.

My word, it's been
such a long time.

When was the last time
we saw one another?

When you tried
to destroy my house
with robots.

Oh, yes.
My, that was ages ago.

Aah!

Wouldn't you be
more comfortable
over there?

Well, although I'm not
particularly fond
of you, either,

I don't know anyone else
here in class.

It's pretty awkward.

Mmph.

Today we are going
to use our souls

And our paintbrushes
to bring to life

The inner struggle and desires
of this bowl of fruit.

Ha! A bowl
of fruit?

This should take me
about seconds.

Prepare to witness
the painting
of a masterpiece.

Uh-huh. Great.

Hmm, peculiar.

That doesn't look
at all like a banana.

Yikes.

I don't understand.
I do.

You're just not
that great at art.

It's ok.
I'm the same way.

What?
That's preposterous.

I, theodore mcallister iii,
am good at everything.

Except art.

There must be something
wrong with this brush.

D'ooh!

More minutes.

Only minutes more?

But I'm nowhere close
to painting my masterpiece.

Oh, thank goodness.

Yours is actually
more hideous than mine.

Nope.
Yours is worse.

Violet: you guys,
this isn't a competition,

But if it were,
becky's is better.

Running
out of time.

[Beep]

Here. Paint a bowl
of fruit immediately.

Well done.

Well, I know you're all anxious
to see my masterpiece,

So here it is.

Tobey, did you
just have that robot
paint that for you?

What? No, no.

Tobey, this
is unacceptable.

Looks like you
painted yourself

Into a corner,
tobey.

I find these accusations
insulting.

I painted this masterpiece.
No, you didn't.

All right, but I created
the robit that painted
this masterpiece,

Thus i, myself,
am a great artist.

No, tobey.

It means that I will
have to tell your mother

You didn't complete
your assignment.

But--mother?

Oh, I bet you'd like to, but
you will never get the chance.

You've seen how well
my robot paints.

Now let's see how well
it sculpts.

[Beep]

We got to stop that robot.
Let's get out of here.

You get
a front-row seat,
art buddy.

How thoughtful.

Now, my faithful robit,

Turn that bus
into a sculpture.

Aah!
Aah!
Aah!

[People scream]

[Beep]

Tobey: wait.
What are you doing?

Woman: ooh, well,
that's interesting.

Yeah.
Ooh,
it's pretty.

No, you fool.
Destroy the bus.

Crush it.
Crush it.

No. Don't paint.
Destroy!

We've talked
about this.

How dare you
defy me?

I'm your master.

Mr. Robot,
that is some mural.

Uh, I guess I think
it's pretty.

I've never seen
such artistic prowess
from a student.

What about me?

Um, from a student
made of metal.

Oh, heh. Metal.

You have truly created
a glorious masterpiece.

Well, I suppose
it's good,

But it's
no masterpiece.

Sure, it is.

A masterpiece means
a flawless example
of skill or excellence,

Like that
beautiful skyscraper

Or bob's haircut.

Here's a shiny sticker.

That sticker
should be mine.

All right. That's it,
mr. Artist robit.

It's time to do
what you're supposed to,

Whether you
like it or not.

Berserker mode.

[All gasp]

Oh, I love
the sound of people
gasping in fear.

It relaxes me.

I think this
is our cue.

Word up.

Now, miss champlain,

I'll ask you
to please join me

As I paint
my real masterpiece

All over this city.

Ha ha ha!

Your robot
looks tired, tobey.

I think it needs
a nap.

Tobey:
oh, wordgirl,

How lovely to
see you again.

I admire
your spirit

But can't wait
to see it crushed.

Wordgirl: uh-oh.

Waah!

Tobey: ha ha!

All right, robot.

Prepare to be dismantled
once and for all.

Huggy?

Do you think wordgirl
has actually been--

Defeated?
Yes.

Feel free
to gasp.

[Gasp]
[gasp]
[gasp]

♪ I defeated
wordgirl ♪

♪ I defeated

♪ La la loo loo

D'oh!
[Gasp]
[gasp]

Would you stop that?
What's going on here?

We're posing
for his painting.

We're a spring flower.

Apparently,
it's abstract.

I don't get it.

This is unacceptable.

You went against
my commands again.

Now, that is
the power of art.

Oh, I've had enough
of all of this.

Robot, smash.

[Beeping]

Destroy.

Maybe your remote
is broken.

It's fine.
Batteries dead?

I checked them
this morning.

Well, you must think
you're so cute.

Well, we're
kind of cute, yeah.

We'll just see
how cute you look

After my super robot
gets through with you.

Uh, what's that sound?

[Whooshing]

[All gasp]

Narrator: now, that's a gasp.

Tobey:
meet my masterpiece--
the...

Wait. I thought
the artsy robot
was your masterpiece.

What? No. He's--
he's no masterpiece.

He's mediocre, pedestrian,
second-rate.

No. I'm pretty sure
you called him
your masterpiece.

Narrator: I'll check the tape.
Quiet, you.

Regardless, you'll have
quite a difficult time

Defeating
my super robot.

[Whirs]

[Samba music playing]

I hit the samba button.

[Laughter]

[Beep]

[Gasp]
[gasp]
[gasp]

All right. Seriously,
you people are very distracting.

Ok. This robot
is a masterpiece.

I told you.

Where's
my shiny sticker?

I ran out.

That's not fair.

All right,
super robot.

Time for
a monkey attack.

Aah!

Ohh...

Tobey: ha! Double tummy plate.
Just installed it.

I fixed that little flaw.

Good for you.

Artsy, your turn.

Wordgirl: uh, is that
all you got?

Pretty, but it's not
gonna help us at all.

You know, guys,

I don't think we have
enough firepower

To bring this
super robot down.

With just one push
of this button,

My super robot
will defeat you all.

Ha ha ha!

Narrator: will wordgirl,
captain huggy face,

And this very artistic robot
be defeated by this super robot?

Is that robot crying?

I guess so.

Now, that is
the power of...

Don't say it.

Art.

Wow, artsy,
great job.

That's it.
You're all going to pay.

I shall end this once and for--
where's my remote?

You mean this?
[Gasp]

Go ahead. Gasp away.

Oh, ha ha, wordgirl,
my old friend.

You're not upset about
the whole "trying to defeat you

With my little, harmless
super robot" thing, are you?

This is absurd.
I will not stand for this.

Actually, you
kind of already are.

Oh, my, it just
keeps getting better
and better,

A true masterpiece.

I thought you said
you ran out of stickers.

I bought more.

Oh, this couldn't be
more embarrassing.

I hate art.

I have to admit,
I'm really starting
to like it.

Narrator: well, that's that,
all neat and tidy,

Like that darling,
little boy blue outfit.

Oh, stop it.

Narrator:
be sure to tune in next time

For another gasp-inducing
masterpiece of an episode--

Nicely done.

Narrator:
thank you--of "wordgirl."
