Narrator:
on a beautiful morning
in front of city hall...

As the local
district attorney,

I say that these fresh baked
muffins are guilty...

Of being delicious!

Um, mom, what is
this bake sale
for again?

The d.a.'S office is
all out of pens, hon.

We can't put bad guys
in jail without pens.

Oh.

Here we go!
Ok, step right up.

Aah!

Is it my prices?

Uh, mom, I think
I'll go get

Some more...
Baking supplies.

Crusher! Crusher!

Or maybe I'll just go
get into my wordgirl
costume.

Crusher!

Word up!

Attention, citizens!

It's me, chuck the evil
sandwich-making guy!

I like sandwiches.

No, I don't make them
for you.

I'm evil!

City hall is right underneath
my giant sandwich press!

Unless you meet my demands,
city hall is--uh...

You know...
What's the word?

Wordgirl: doomed!

Which is what your plan
is about to be!

Wordgirl!
How did you find me?

Um...
Oh, oh, right.
I'm not hiding.

Ha ha ha! Silly.

Save yourself the trouble,
chuck, and give up!

Ok.

Oh, yeah,
well, you--what?

I said ok.

Go ahead, wordgirl.
Take me in.

Wow. I didn't expect this
to be that easy.

Oh, it isn't.

Taking me in won't
do you any good.

This baby's
on a timer!

Narrator:
that's pretty smart.
Chuck: I know, right?

The press will keep
dropping slowly

As the timer
counts down.

When it gets to zero,
whammo!

It smashes
to the ground,

And city hall is--
oh, um...

Doomed.
What?

Doomed. City hall is doomed.

Ok.
City hall is doomed!

Ha ha ha!

[Screeching]

Ha ha!

I don't think so,
weird hairy guy!

I built it out
of super-strong steel!

Heh heh!

There must be some way
to stop it.

Oh, there is!

But I'm not telling you
about the secret code!

I didn't say
"secret code"
out loud, did i?

Twice.

Oh! Well,
it doesn't matter,

'Cause you'll never
guess what it is!

Mustard?

Ok, not anymore!

Ok, well, then
I'll just have to take
your sandwich press apart!

[Crowd gasping]

Ok, huggy, just like
we've been practicing!

[Screeching]

Oh. Then there's
always plan "b."

Uhh!

Plan "c"?

Plan..."J"?

Chuck: you're running out
of time, wordgirl,

And plans
with letters in them!

Ha ha ha!

Clock is ticking!

You'd better, um...

Hustle!
One more, please.
One more time?

Hustle!
I'd better hustle.

Ok.

Chuck the evil
sandwich-making guy,
signing off!

Oh, yeah!

That's the way
you do it,
chucky-boo!

Ooh, now who's
that handsome guy
in the mirror?

Excuse me,
mr. Handsome.

I would just love
to go out to dinner
with you--

Ahem.
You left the p.a. On.

All: hi, mr. Handsome!

That's it!
Either meet my demands

Or city hall is--
uh, what was
that word again?

Doomed.
Oh, yeah.

City hall is doomed!

Doomed means
something bad, right?

Yeah, it means something
that's going to end
in disaster.

Hmm.

For example,
your chances

Of actually succeeding
with this evil plot
are doomed.

Oh, I get it--hey!

What? It's the first thing
I thought of.

Well, the first thing
I think of is how doomed
your attempts were

At destroying my
giant sandwich press!

Narrator:
he got you there.
Whatever.

Face it, wordgirl.

The only way you're
going to stop me

Is by meeting
my demands!

Fine.
What are they?

Well, yeah, um, i...

To be honest, you've
usually stopped me
by this point.

That's true.
Well, listen,

Why don't you go
for a walk and think
about it?

It'll come to you.

Yeah, yeah,
that might work.

Uh, you'll be here
when I get back?

Oh, yeah.

I have to figure out
the secret code!

Let's see. "Sandwich"?

Ha ha ha ha!
Uh..."Bread. "

Ha ha ha ha!

Um..."Meatball."

Ha ha ha ha!

Oh, no! City hall!

This isn't working!

We have to try
something else.

[Screeching]

Great idea, huggy!

My mom does have a file
on chuck in her office.

Maybe it'll have a clue.

I'll stay here
and keep trying.

You go get
that file!

Go, huggy! Dash!

[Screeching]

You know, dash.

It means to hurry,
move quickly, hustle.

[Screeching]

Go! Dash!

"Ketchup."
Ha ha ha ha!

Uh, "bologna."
Ha ha ha ha!

"Grilled cheese--"
chuck: hey.

Oh! Hi!

Yeah, hi. Could you
do me a favor?

Promise you won't
try to put in
the secret code?

Uh...uh-huh.

Great. Thanks!

Narrator: meanwhile...

Hey, a real live
superhero!

How exciting!
What's your name again?

Oh, well, hi,
mr. Wristwatch!

You want me
to follow you?

Ok. Where would you
like to go?

Uh...

The zoo?

No. Um--
[gasps]
I know!

The tuscaloola county
asparagus festival!

No? Oh.

Uh...the dunbar deli
for a sandwich?

Oh, my.

[Screeches]
ok.

I guess we're going.

"Turkey."

Ha ha ha ha!
"Ham."

Ha ha ha ha!

"Salami."
Ok.

So I think
I finally
figured out--hey!

Were you trying
to guess
the secret code?

Me? No. I was...

Uh, ordering lunch!

Oh. Ok.

So I think I finally know
what I want as a demand.

Are you ready?
sh**t.

I want...

A foot-long sandwich!

Yeah! Take that!

What? You're not
writing this down.

Really? That's all
you want?

Well, no, but I don't
want to be greedy.

Uh, that's kind of
the whole point
of this.

Oh, yeah, I guess.

Look, I'm not sure
I should be helping you
with this part,

But since you're doomed
anyway, why not?

Try to think
of something you've
always wanted.

Hmm. Should it be
sandwich-related?

I don't think
it has to be.

Oh...that kind of
makes it harder.

Narrator:
ask for a speedboat.

Did--did he say
speedboat?

Narrator: yeah,
they're really fun!

They make them
in all colors now.

All right!
I want a speedboat!

Narrator: attaboy!
W-w-wait, though.

I--i need to know,
can these be used
on land?

I'm a little scared
of the water part.

Narrator: oh, boy.
Listen.

It doesn't have
to be a speedboat,

Just something
that big. Get it?

I think so.

Go for another walk
and figure it out.

Good idea! Thanks!

Forgot my lucky
bottle cap! Yeah.

Ok! Bye!

Yikes! Huggy!
You'd better hustle!

Mrs. Botsford:
well, here we are!

It's kind of funny
that you want a tour
now, but ok.

You know, we're a part
of the same system,
you and i.

You catch 'em
and I put 'em away.

[Screeching]
oh, ok.

Calm down.
I'll start the tour.

This is my desk.

That's my favorite pen--
oh, yes.

Chuck the evil
something something.

What a nasty fellow.

Can you believe him,
trying to crush
city hall?

You know, it's that kind
of--yeah, I know.

I'd like to file him
away, too,

But we've got
to catch him first.

Ooh!

Draw me next!

I've got it!

You want to sh**t arrows
into a file folder

And give it to chuck!

You know, I have
a file on chuck.

You want to see it?

[Screeching]

So, should we continue
the tou--aah!

But I didn't get
to show you
my favorite mug!

Wordgirl: "pickles."

Ha ha ha ha!
"Lettuce."

Narrator: you're
running out of time.

I know!
You should hustle.

I am!
You should hustle
faster.

You're not helping!

Sorry.
"Potato chips."

Ha ha ha ha!
Oh!

"Tomato--"
I got it!

This time I know
what I wa--hey!

You were trying
to guess the code!

No, no.

I can't believe
you lied to me!

Uh, well--

If you can't trust
a superhero,
who can you trust?

And I was all excited
to tell you,

I was going to ask
for $ million.

You were?
Narrator: impressive.

Thanks! But since you
couldn't wait, wordgirl,

I'm not going to ask
for anything!

I'm going to crush
city hall right now!

You are all doomed!

Ha ha ha!

Uh-uh! No dice, chuck!
You're not getting past me!

I don't have to.

Ta da.

Remote control?
No fair.

[Car lock chirps]
oops.

Wrong button.

There we go!

You lost, wordgirl!

City hall is doomed!

Ha ha ha!

Chuck:
I love this.
Mom!

I mean,

Mom...mambo!

Chuck: hey!

That's my file!
You're not supposed
to have that!

[Screeching]

Huh. Chuck's first pet was
a little bunny named fluffy.

Nooooo!

F-l-u-f-f-y.

Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.

Well, chuck,
looks like
the only demands

You'll be able
to make will be
in prison!

I can take it
from here.

Oh, goody!

Now we can continue
our tour. Come on!

Narrator: and so city hall
is saved from doom

By the swift thinking
and expl*sive kung fu

Of wordgirl
and captain huggy face.

Tune in next time
for another thrill-packed
episode of "wordgirl."

Ah.

World girl!
