Narrator: today's featured words
are "cherish" and "flee."

[School bell rings]
it's valentine's day! Yay!

Ms. Davis' class is hard
at work making valentines
for each other.

Even tobey's been hit
by cupid's arrow.

Tobey: "have a happy valentine's
day or I will destroy you."

Mmm. Too mushy.

Ms. Davis: ok, kids.

It's time to hand out
your valentines
to everyone in class.

Now, if you're like me,
you'll cherish these cards
well into adulthood,

So keep them somewhere safe.
[Grunts]

Boy: m-ms. Davis,
can i--

Ms. Davis: ah! I remember you.

Second grade. J.d.

Never mind.

Ok. You can do this.

Uh, hey, scoops.
How weird has
the weather been?

I'm, like, it's february.
Where's the snow, right?
[Chuckles nervously]

Hmm.

I worked extra hard
on this card because it's
for someone special. Take it.

I did the same thing.
Ace reporter asks you
to be his valentine.

You say "blank."
Then there are boxes

To check yes, no,
or tell ya later.

Wow.

I--i mean,
who's it for?

Who is it for?
Who's it for, I wonder.
Who's that for? Heh!

Girl: I'll take that.
Hey.

I really
should have these,
since I am the best.

I'll just change
the name there.

[Gasps]

Victoria.

Best! Victoria best.

That's my name.
Don't wear it out,

Unless you're talking
about how the best I am.

Why is ms. Davis
not stopping this?

[Ms. Davis giggles]

That's a good one.

Timmy k.

Ah, I wonder if he
ever got over his fear
of that tire swing.

Here you go,
from my parents.

Becky:
"I am the best."

No, you're not.
I am.
Hey, scoopsie--

Both: it's scoops.

I'm the best
at making up
nicknames.

I'll call you--

Becky.
Call me becky.

I like beckface.
Hand over the rest

Of those valentines,
scoopsie.

Well, actually, I made
the cards for the whole
class, victoria, and--

"Actually, I made cards
for the whole--"

[Speaking gibberish]

[Raspberry]

Did I mention
I was the best
at mocking people?

Ms. Davis: kids,
are you filling your boots
with memories or mischief?

They're just
being loud because
they want me to play

A special
valentine's day song
on my recorder.

Is that ok,
ms. Davis?

Uh, no, ms. Davis.
Don't let her--

[Song playing]

V. Best, out.

Oh! What happened?

Hmm.

I'd say victoria best
is up to her
hypnotizing tricks.

We have to stop her
and get everyone's
cards back,

Especially the ones
scoops made.

[Squeaks]

[School bell rings]
oh. Ha ha!

Oh, I guess I lost track
of the time.

The school day is over.
Uh, hey,

Did anyone find a bunch
of valentines that smell
like a boot?

Combing hair--best.

Valentine's day--best.

List-making.

[Scoffs]
best.

Hand over the stolen
valentines, victoria!

Word girl.
How convenient.

I thought I would have
to lure you here with
a giant robot attack.

Not the greatest time,
tobey.

Although I consider
st. Valentine's day

To be an ugly example
of consumerism gone awry,

There is something,
oh, I don't know, fun

About a day where
one being can express--

Tobey, just give me
the valentine, already.
I'd be delighted!

I'm word girl's
special valentine,
everyone!

No, wait! I didn't--

That'll be a great story
for tomorrow's front page.

Stop!
Here is a chocolate shaped
like the human heart.

[Angels sing]

Look, maybe you didn't
know about this

When you offered
that chocolate to
word girl over there,

But fyi--i'm the best;

Specifically,
at everything.

You can ask my mom
and dad if you don't
believe me.

Well, that's simply
not true on many levels.

For instance, you're not
the best superhero.

That distinction belongs
to word girl.
What?!

Yeah, that--
hey, thanks, tobey.

It's true. That's why
word girl is cherished
by the entire city.

Oh, come on.
The entire city?
Victoria: rrr!

Seems like an awful lot
of people, but...

Ohh!

Really, it's too much.
[Song playing]

Not again...

We'll see
how much you like
word girl now.

I am the best
at causing fights.

V. Best, out.

Uh. What?

Did she flee again?
That's twice today.

Huh? Is this
from you,
word girl?

Thanks.
Wait a moment.

That was my gift
to word girl. Now--
hey.

I made that card
for someone,
word girl.

How did you
get it?
Huh?

Now, hold on, you.

First you steal my gift
to word girl

And then you accuse her
of taking a valentine
that doesn't belong to her?

Actually, this could
work out quite well for me.

I will defend word girl's
honor by challenging
scoops to a duel.

Well, that's it.
I must defend
your honor, word girl,

By challenging scoops
to a duel.

You're going
to challenge me
to a duel?

That's right.

The winner shall win
word girl's heart forever...

Or at least be
her valentine.

Ohh...

Narrator: moments later,
while word girl looks

For victoria best
and the stolen valentines,

Scoops prepares for his battle
with tobey by...

And though this may be
my final editorial,
dear readers,

I have no regrets.

A more cowardly reporter
might flee at the sight
of danger,

But this reporter is
no coward.

Word girl:
scoops?
Aah!

Oh. Hi. Hi. Hi.

Oh. Heh! Hmm.
One thing
victoria best is

The best at
is hiding.

I can't find her
anywhere.

Ha ha! That's
too bad, word girl.

But right now
I have bigger, more
robot-related problems.

Oh, I wouldn't be
too worried.

I mean, how many robots
could tobey have gotten
on such short notice?

[Thundering footsteps]

[Tobey laughing evilly]

Attack now, robot!

Oh!

[Sighs dismissively]

Uh-oh. That's
a lot of robots.

See if you can
keep them busy,
huggy.

I have to protet
scoops.
[Huggy screeches]

[Thundering footsteps]
aah!

Whoa! Hey!
Let me back there!

Scoops ming does not
flee from danger!

So, um, who was that
special valentine for?

Ah, who cares?
Valentine's day

Isn't about
presents or cards,

Or being att*cked
by giant robots.

It's about
letting people
in your life know

You cherish them,
right?
Yeah, cherish.

That's when you care a lot
about something and that thing
is really important to you.

It sure is. In fact,
can you take me back
to school, word girl?

I'd like to tell a great
person just how much I
cherish her friendship.

Really?
A good friend of yours
that's a girl, huh?

Does her name happen
to rhyme with "mecky"?

"Miolet." Nope.
Weird question,
word girl,

But "mecky" doesn't
rhyme with "violet."

Violet?
Whoa!

Whoa! Heh!
Almost dropped you
there. Sorry, buddy.

Yeah, uh, I'll
take you back so you
can tell violet.

I'm really busy
anyway, you know.

Got a bunch of stuff
going on right now--

Robots, victoria,
so, you know.
Hmm. No big.

You know, now that
I think about it,

"Mecky" wouldn't be
a bad nickname for
my friend becky,

Although I guess
"beckface" works, too.

Whoa!
Whoops.

Here you go. Safe and sound.

Tobey: word girl.
I thought you
decided to flee.

I don't think so, tobey.
"Flee" means run away,
and I'm right here.

[Huggy screeches]

I just wanted to let you know
this whole battle thing
isn't personal.

The valentine offer is still on
the table if you're interested.

Fighting these robots
one by one is going
to take forever.

[Screeches]
great idea, huggy!

Be right back to keep
defeating you, tobey.

Ok, I'll just
be here waiting.

[Sighs]

Tobey! You had better
have a permission slip
for those robots!

You know, I think you're
a really wonderful
and unique person, violet.

Even if it wasn't
valentine's day,
I'd want to tell you that.

Thanks, scoops.
That's really--

What does it take to prove
to you that I'm the best?

I'm the one you should be
giving those nice words to.

Look how the best I am.

Huh? Do you like that?
How about that?
Pretty the best, isn't it?

Uh, yeah, that's
really neat,
victoria.
Neat?

[Chuckles]
no, no, no.

Actually, it's the best.

See? Bam! Totally
the best, right?
Me, I mean.

Fine.
You're the best.

But I still want
to ask violet to be
my valentine.

[Gasps]
sure! Whee! Ha ha!

What does that mean?

It means you're all
in big trouble.

Word girl:
man, those robots just
wouldn't leave me alone!

They must think
I'm the best
superhero ever!

[Victoria scoffs]
those robots are about to learn
a thing or two about the best.

Victoria best.

[Song playing]

Robots: the best....

Hey, I said
attack word girl
and her pet mouse!

That's right, robots!
I'm the best!

You want to attack me?
Down here!

[Thundering footsteps]
wait. Oh, no.

Aah! Help!

Time to deal with tobey,
captain huggy face.

Look, word girl,

We don't have
to be valentines,

But if I say I'm sorry
for attacking you,

Can we be non-enemies?

I mean, until the next time
I try to destroy you?

Sure, tobey.
Why not?

It's valentine's
day, after all.

Victoria: word girl!

If you save me, I'll admit

You're the best superhero.

The best! Besides me.

First you have to
promise to give back
everyone's valentines.

Deal! Now help me!

Ok, ok, I'm coming.
[Sighs]

Narrator: and so the city's
most cherished superhero
proves that sometimes,

When you try to be
the best at everything,

You end up fleeing
an army of giant robots.

At least that was the lesson
I took from this episode.

Join us next time for
another amazing, colossal,

Special adventure
of "word girl."

[Beeping]

♪ Word girl

Hello.
I'm beau handsome,

And this is...

All: "may I have a word?"

As usual, the player
who correctly defines
today's featured word

Will win a fabulous prize.

Let's play...

"May I have a word?"

Yes, you may.
Today's featured word
is "perspire."

To give you a clue,
here are some clips
from "word girl"

That show the meaning
of the word.

[Ding]
yes! Tommy?

"Perspire" means
to sweat, like everyone
in those clips was doing.

That is correct!
Huggy, show him what he's won!
[Huggy screeches]

[Crash]

Are you ok?

Can't you find
a better time

To train for
your unicycle race?

[Hiss]

Aw, huggy, did you break
the air conditioner?

Uh, are you going
to tell me what I've won?

Fine. Uh! Here's hoping
it's a replacement
air conditioner.

Huggy, are you ready
to show him the prize?

Uh, ok. Ok.

Tommy, you are
today's winner!

Huggy, show him
what he's won.

An official word girl
absurdly large launch ramp!

[Screeches]

Uh, don't worry, folks.
He's fine.

Ahem. Ok. That's it
for today's episode.

See you next time on...

"May I have a word?"

♪ Word girl

Narrator: listen for the words
"intuition" and "charming."

It's another beautiful day
in our fair city,

Unless you happen to be
the villainous granny may's cat.

Looking good,
colonel mustard.
Hold still.

Oh, this is going
to be the most charming
christmas card photo ever.

Ooh!

It's mail time!
Hold that pose!

It's here! The latest issue
of "candy dish enthusiast."

Wow! It says our city
is getting a visit

From cleopatra's
candy dish,

The most priceless
candy dish in existence.

Can you believe that,
colonel mustard?

To keep anyone
from stealing it,

The dish is traveling
with its own
security system.

[Chuckles]

Well, I can't just put
my candy in a jar

Like some sort
of barbarian.

[Chuckles]

Narrator: meanwhile,
at word girl's secret
spaceship hideout...

And that precious little
squirrel water-skied

Across the lake
and into our hearts.

[Giggles]
he sure did.

What a courageous
little fella.

What's that?
Ok, we've got
a breaking story.

But I want to see more
of the squirrel.

We all do,
but apparently
someone,

Who will not be
mentioned, thinks
a boring old robbery

At the national
national bank is
more newsworthy

Than a charming
rodent enjoying
aquatic sports.

Bank robbery?
Let's go, huggy.

Narrator: meanwhile,
inside the bank...

Granny may:
that's right, officers.

That man is
the bank robber!

What? Me?

No, I'm not,
and I can prove it--
oh, oh!

Who here would like
a special surprise?

Ok, then. Close your eyes.

And now, open your eyes!

Wow. Chocolate chip.

[Crunching]

Check the security
guard's right pocket!

Huh? Hey, watch it.

And here it is--
the stolen money.
All right, let's go, pal.

Wait. Hold up.
I didn't steal anything.
Someone set me up.

[Granny may gasps]
are you calling me
a liar?

What kind of a person
would say such a thing

About a charming
old lady?

[Muffled]
the kind of person who's
going straight to jail.

Narrator: seconds later,
word girl and captain huggy face
arrive on the scene.

I--i'm on? Oh, ok.
I got it.

No. I'm standing
outside the national
national bank,

Where a robbery has
just been foiled.
Foiled?

How is that possible?
We just got here.

Beats me.
There's a reason
I've been voted

The city's least
inquisitive reporter
years running.

[Yawns]
excuse me.

Least inquisitive reporter
coming through. Least
inquisitive reporter.

Is something newsworthy
happening here?
It sure is.

Granny may here
caught this bank
robber. Hi, mom.

I'm telling you,
I'm innocent.

Well, I'm just happy
I could stop
what undoubtedly

Would have been
a terrible crime spree,

Though it does seem odd
that word girl

Couldn't even beat
a helpless old lady

To the case.

My intuition tells
me granny may's up
to something.

We need to get to
the bottom of this.

[Siren]

Narrator: later that night...

How could anyone believe
granny may's gone straight?

I mean, how many times
have we caught her?

Everybody! The news
is doing a story about

The candy dish.

As I am sure
you already know,

Our city is about
to be visited

By a ,-year-old
candy dish so valuable,

Its very presence
will render our lives
meaningless.

That's right, rex.

Cleopatra's candy
dish is encrusted
with diamonds...

[Gasps]
rubies...

[Gasps]
emeralds...

[Gasps]
sapphires, pearls,
and amethyst.

Ohh!

The dish is set to
arrive at the city museum
this saturday at a.m.,

And if my intuition's
correct, there's going
to be a huge line,

So you'd better
get there early.

Way ahead of you!

Anchorwoman: now,
we turn to the story of
a charming crime solver

Who has been winning
the city's hearts.

Local old-timer
granny may sat down with

An award-winning member
of our news team.

Granny may, let me
first say thank you.

Thank you
for being here.

Oh, well, it's
my pleasure, dear.

How do you do it?

How do you always
find yourself
at the right place

At the right time
to solve these crimes?

Well, dear,
sometimes I just get
a feeling, you know?

I call it
granny's intuition.

Mmm. Now I have to ask
a tough question.

[Dramatic chord]

What would you say is
your best quality?

Your pluckiness
or your can-do attitude?

Uh! I can't take
any more of this.

[Snoring]

[Gasps]

Hey!

Oh!

Hmm?

Hey!

Narrator: a couple nights
later at the botsfords',

Becky and bob are
still trying to figure out
what granny may is up to.

My intuition tells me
granny may is the one
stealing everything

And then making
the other people
look guilty. But why?

She's not actually
keeping the stolen
goods for herself.

Hmm. Oh, maybe I just
need to take my mind
off this for a bit.

Let's see
what's on tv.

Folks, we're only
one short day away

From the single biggest
event in the history
of the world--

The arrival of
cleopatra's candy dish.

That's right, rex.
Because the dish is
so priceless,

The mayor is bringing in
someone who no thief
would dare tangle with.

Of course, I'm referring
to the city's

Most awesome
crime-stopping force.

Yeah, well, you know.
Heh heh heh...

None other than the
powerful, yet charming--

And she's
also my friend--

Granny may!

What?

As you know,
I happen to be

A candy dish
enthusiast myself,

And even though
cleopatra's candy
dish has

The best security
system in the world,

We still can't take
any chances,

So I have
volunteered
to guard it myself.

[Gasps]
that's it! Word up!

[All cheering]

It's a good thing
we made these disguises.

There's no way granny may
would try to steal the dish
if she knew we were here.

[Gasps]
wow!

Ooh!

Ahh!

Mr. Botsford: it's even
more sparkly than I imagined!

Well, if you like
candy dishes,

You'll love
what else I have
in here--

Photos of my
charming grandkids.

[Chuckles]
[gasps]
ooh!

Ooh!
[Giggles]
ooh!

My intuition tells me
she's up to something.

See if you can get
a better look.

[Squeaks]

[Screeches]

I knew I was right.
Word up!

The jig is up,
granny!

[Gasps]
word girl thinks

I stole
the candy dish.

[Chuckles]
how charming.

That's not charming,
but I'll tell you
what is--

When something is
extremely pleasing
and delightful.

That's what
charming means.

What? It seemed like
a good time to define
"charming."

Ahem. Ok! Now to stop
granny may--

Granny may: we'll see
about that, dearie!

[Beep]

[Alarm blaring]

Give it up,
granny may!

Oh, I'd like to,
but I have to go

Buy some candy
for my new dish.

Poof!

[Coughs]

Where'd she go?
[Squeaks]

Whoa! Oh!

Hi-yah!

All right!
You're finished, granny!

Oh, that word girl!

I knew from the beginning
you were up to no good.

I'm glad I trusted
my intuition.

What? You dusted
your amm*nit*on?

I said trusted
my intuition.
[Screeches]

Oh. Well, an intuition is
a feeling that you get when
you just know something

Without really understanding
how you know it,

Like when granny may
was tricking everyone

Into believing she was
a crime stopper.

I didn't have any evidence,
but my intuition gave me

The feeling she was up
to something.

Uh, would anyone
like to see

Some charming photos
of my grandchildren?

Do you really think
we're going to fall
for that?

Word girl:
here's the candy dish
granny may stole.

[Kiss]

Ok. Officers, you can
release all the people

Granny may "caught" during
her crime-fighting days.

Word girl: she was the one
who committed the crimes.

Got it.
It's off to jail
with you, granny.

Oh, you two are
more troublesome

Than a leaky jar
of blue hair dye.

Narrator: and so our brave
and charming superhero
saved the day again.

My narrator intuition tells me
you'll want to tune in

adventure of "word girl."
