Announcer: listen
for "collaborate"
and "quest."
Narrator: at a thinly
attended evil villain
convention held
In a seedy motel
on the outskirts of town...
Processed foods. Ugh.
Oh, sorry.
Pardon me.
On a quest
for cheese here.
You're dr. Two-brains.
Right the first time.
I'm a big fan
of your work.
I read your article
about escaping the scene
In last month's "modern
villain monthly."
Good stuff.
Oh, pish tosh.
Heh heh.
So what's
your shtick?
Giant robots.
Catalog or home-made?
Home-made.
[Chuckling]
nice.
Wait a second.
You wouldn't
happen to be tobey,
The boy genius
Robot...builder kid...
Would you?
More or less.
Well, this is
a pleasure.
I've been following
your career.
Not too shabby, kid.
So tell me, what brilliant
and evil inventions
Have you been
working on lately?
Oh, you know,
this and that.
Gravity machine,
time travel.
Brie blintzes.
Oh, and I
recently tried
Turning platinum
into cheese,
But all I got
was a strong
super-thin metal
With a bitter steel
aftertaste.
Hmm, you know, I've
been trying forever
to develop
A material
just like that.
Really?
Well, I am a robot man,
of course.
And with your new metal,
I would be able
to build my most
indestructible robot yet.
Any chance, doctor, that
you would be interested
In a collaboration?
Tobey--can I call
you tobey--why not?
I've got a few days
to k*ll.
Excellent.
Narrator: meanwhile on
the happy side of town,
Our heroes enjoy another
stimulating family outing.
And find a tree.
Oh.
Good. Find your shoes.
Yes!
Good. I don't know.
I think we should
try our best to--
Quick! Find your nose.
That's not fast enough.
Honey, don't you
think you're taking
This scavenger hunt
a little too
seriously?
But we have to do
everything in our power
to beat our opponents.
Why? It's not like
we win anything cool.
It's not the prize.
It's the winning.
I want my family
to win a scavenger hunt,
Scavenger search--
I mean, scavenger quest.
Quest, search, hunt.
They mean the same thing.
You mean no one
in our family has ever
won a scavenger hunt?
No! Oh, grampy botsford
once came close in ' ,
But he folded under
the pressure.
Well, that's not going
to happen here, right?
If you say so, dear.
That's the spirit,
sort of.
Now, let's get
going, team.
As your group leader, I've
divided our scavenger list
Into parts.
"Walnuts, a meteorite.
A rubber chicken
in a tuxedo."
Oh, what fun!
"An autographed
picture
From a celebrity
cat"?
[Scoffs]
where are we
gonna find that?
Oh, hey, violet,
What's all
that stuff
you're carrying?
Oh, just some of the items
my mom and I have collected
For the quest so far.
Only two more to go.
Dad: uh! Let's go, team.
Move it, move it!
And everyone
have fun.
I said move...
Come on, bob.
We've got to find that
autographed picture,
"A rare pink violet,
And a pine cone
in the shape of
abraham lincoln."
[Clanking]
Wait. My super-hearing is
picking something up.
Let's go. Word up!
Tobey, my lad,
I must say
your engineering is
truly remarkable.
Well,
thank you, sir,
but you came up
With the perfect
metal.
Heh heh.
Yeah, I know.
Say, should
we collaborate--
You know, work together--
On what to call our
evil genius creation?
Excellent idea.
Hmm, perhaps
mouse monster
Or robotzilla.
Hmm. How about
a little bit of both?
Mousezilla?
I love it.
To us!
To us.
Wordgirl!
I mean,
uh, wordgirl.
Tobey and dr. Two-brains
collaborating?
Isn't playing well
with others against evil
villain rule number ?
Rules are made
to be broken.
Besides, our
collaboration is
The best thing that's
ever happened to us.
Come on, huggy. Let's take
this metal mouse down.
Uh! Whoa.
I didn't even put
a dent in it.
That's because
mousezilla is made
From one of my
genius inventions--
Platinum bircarphite
number .
Of course, without
the aerodynamic design
of yours truly--
Although such a creation
would have been impossible
Without the flexibility
of my platinum.
Agreed. Ahem.
You see,
wordgirl,
You might as
well quit now.
My new
creation--
[Dr. Two-brains growls]
Our new creation
is too advanced
for you.
We'll see about that.
Hyah! Hyah! Ow.
Oh. I forgot to tell you.
I gave our creation
a little special feature.
Watch.
You didn't run
this by me.
Don't worry.
You'll thank me.
You're right. Thank you.
Well, that was easy.
Hey!
Aah!
Yes. Maybe a little
too easy.
To the cheese vault.
To the really tall
state building.
But first, to
the cheese vault.
Yes. Of course. Eh.
Whoa!
Gah!
Ooh!
Huggy, you all right?
But, dear, I'm positive
the commotion
Came from over here.
It's wordgirl
and captain huggy face!
Ooh! Is that a pine cone
you're holding
In the shape of
abraham lincoln?
Um...
Oh, no. Are you guys in
the scavenger quest, too?
Oh, we'll never beat
the superheroes.
They're too super.
Oh, no.
Actually, becky
found it.
She told me to
give it to you
Since she's so
busy getting
other stuff.
Ho ho! Why, our
becky is so smart
To have you
helping her.
We're gonna win!
We're gonna win.
But, dear, I think it
might be against the rules
For becky and wordgirl
to collaborate.
Actually,
we looked
into that,
And thanks to
a technicality,
it's ok.
Good enough for me.
But are you sure
you and captain huggy face
Have time for this
scavenger quest?
Don't worry.
We have every--
Reason to go
Right now.
Word up!
Oh, and if you happen
to pass a pink violet,
Maybe you could grab
it for us.
Pretty please?
Mommy, I found
a -leaf clover.
Now we only have
to find one more thing.
No!
Oh, dear.
Narrator: meanwhile,
a fragile friendship is
In danger of cracking.
Fine, yes. Come now.
It's time to seek
and destroy.
In a minute,
in a minute. Sheesh.
You kid villains today.
So impatient.
Yes. Well,
you silver-haired
veterans.
I'm still not sure
why we have to keep
stealing cheese.
I'm not sure why we're
just wrecking buildings.
Well, with all
due respect,
If not for
my ingenious
energy bubble,
We'd still be
fighting wordgirl
and that monkey.
Therefore, I shall
decide mousezilla's
activities.
If it weren't for
the fortified metal,
which I created--
By accident.
Yeah. So? This
collaboration would
not have taken place
If I hadn't--
Wordgirl! Oh, you
just can't get enough
of me, can you?
Uh, not exactly.
Word up!
[Chattering]
Ha ha!
Wait. Since
when do the whiskers
do that?
Oh. Since I
tweaked them.
I thought this was
a collaboration.
A collaboration is also
based on trust, tobey.
Yeah, a collaboration
is based on
mutual discussion.
If you don't trust me
to act on my own,
then what kind of a--
You should put your
two brains together
And find out what
a collaboration
actually means.
We need to get
super villain team-up
counseling.
[Ppbblltt]
Narrator: uh-oh. Will
wordgirl ever free herself
From mousezilla's metal
mouse whiskers?
Come on! Let's put
the squeeze on her
for good.
No. Wait. Surely we
can think of a much
more diabolical way
To teach her
a lesson.
We both know you're
just stalling
Because you have a silly
schoolboy crush on her.
I do not.
Narrator: do too, do too!
Tobey: stay out
of this!
It's bootsy
the cat.
Hey, it's bootsy
the cat.
Look over here, bootsy.
Huggy, look,
it's bootsy the cat,
Star of the film
"sir kitty."
[Chatters]
But it is a big deal.
We need to get her
autographed picture
for the scavenger quest.
Ok. Mousezilla first,
then autograph.
Oh, please. I did
% of the work.
So much for an equal
collaboration.
You're right, child.
It wasn't equal because
I did all of the--aah!
A cat!
Oh, are we afraid
of a little cat?
A little bitty
kitty cat?
Keep away. Keep away.
Kitty.
Kitty, kitty, kitty.
Oh, yeah? Well, at least
I don't love wordgirl,
like you do.
Well, you're
afraid of a little
kitty, kitty, kitty.
Meow! Meow! Meow!
Love, love, love.

and he goes,
"eek!" ♪
Great job, huggy.

Our collaboration
is over.
Hmph. Finally we agree.
Uh, where are we?
And why are we
in handcuffs?
Together: oops.
Wordgirl: that about
wraps it up, right?
Narrator: except
for the "b" plot.
The scavenger
quest. Right.
Ahem. Excuse me,
mr. Bootsy.
Any chance we could get
an autograph?
I found a spotted owl.
I found
an ancient
arrowhead.
And I found a pair of
th-century gym socks.
They weren't on the list.
I just found them.
Becky: autographed picture
of a celebrity cat!
Dad: we won! We found
everything on the quest list.
Wait. We're
forgetting
something.
A pink violet.
[Sobbing]
oh, it's over!
We lost.
Oh, cheer up, dear.
I'm sure every team
had trouble finding
Something
on their list.
Acorns, blue jay
feather, mood ring,
Tiki torch,
lounging lizard.
Uh-huh. All here.
Next.
Dad: look, we've got
everything except
the pink violet.
Wait! We have got it.
Here's the rarest
violet of them all.
And she's wearing pink.
[Family laughing cheerfully]
Becky botsford,
I commend you on
your creativity.
We won! We won!
Mayor: but a girl
named violet wearing
a pink shirt
Doesn't cut it.
Sorry.
[Mayor imitates buzzer]
No! Oh, grampy,
we came so close.
Narrator: and so we learn
That a collaboration
of evil geniuses isn't
always a good thing.
Tune in next time as
we go on a new quest
for adventure
In another exciting
episode of...
[Gasping]
"wordgirl."
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...
All: "may I have a word?"
Yes, you may.
Today's featured word
is "hurl."
To give you a clue,
Here are some clips
from "wordgirl"
That show the correct
meaning of the word.
[Music playing on soundtrack]
Oh, butcher, will you
never learn
That your meat att*cks are
no match for wordgirl?
She's invincible!
Ok. But who can define
the word?
Invincible means
Can't be
destroyed
by anything.
Unbeatable.
Well, yes, emily,
that's correct.
But that's not
the definition
we're looking for.
The butcher. What a totally
lame opponent for wordgirl.
And he calls himself
a villain?
Uh, no, emily, you can't
define "villain" either.
The featured word is "hurl."
Any guesses?
Yes, tommy.
Tommy: hurl means
to throw or fling,
like the butcher does
With his lame meat.
Yes! Congratulations, tommy.
You are today's winner.
Huggy, show him what he's won.
An official wordgirl -foot
paper clip.
All: ooh!
Hey, that prize is as lame
as the butcher.
See you next time on...
All: "may I have a word?"
♪ Wordgirl
Announcer: today's
featured words are
"Novice" and
"legendary. "
Narrator: something's
happening in there.
Let's go watch.
Man: and welcome
To the coach's evil villainy
and arch-enemy school.
I am the brilliant and evil
mastermind, the coach.
And with my patented,
proven techniques,
You all will soon be
transformed
From novice villains
to seasoned professionals.
[Scattered applause]
Thank you. Thank you.
Anyway, I'd like to
start each class with
a little roll call.
We'll start with you.
Whoa. My name's
timmy tim-bo.
That's what
my buddies call me.
And I got fired from
the pizza place downtown.
So I thought being
a villain seemed
kind of cool.
So, uh, here I am.
Right. Great.
Super powers?
Oh! Yeah. I can nap.
Like a lot.
Heh heh. Awesome. Next.
Hi. I'm big left hand guy.
Ha ha. And as you can see,
I have a big left hand.
Ha ha!
Oh, hey, I guess that's
my name and my super power.
Double whammy! Ha ha ha!
Ah, finally, you.
Ms. Question.
What do you want
to know about
me again?
Your name, super power,
that sort of thing.
Is that going
towards my grade?
Oh. Oh, I see!
You're ms. Question,
and your power is to ask
questions until--
Is it that
obvious,
or is it?
Whoa. She's good.
Do you really
think so?
[Snoring]
Ok. Ok.
Now, so I think you're
ready for your first
real-world experience.
Then I can use you,
my ignorant goofballs,
To steal whatever I want.
Um, coach,
we heard that.
Oh! Well, good for you.
Uh, you've all...
Passed your first
villainy test, uh...
Listening.
That was easy.
Yay!
Awesome.
Did you know
he was gonna
do that?
That's right.
Now, your first
step on the path
of villainous success
Will be to steal me this.
Ooh!
Fancy.
Tim-bo: whoa.
This is
michelangelo's
whistle.
Legend has it that
whoever blows it
will have power
Over anyone who
hears the tune.
Is that
really true?
As far as I know.
How can you
be sure?
I--
where did you get
your information?
[Snoring]
Ohh! Just go steal
the whistle.
Oh. Now?
Once you nincompoops
bring me michelangelo's
whistle,
I will become legendary.
Ho ho ho!
They'll sing songs about me,
Write poems about my deeds.
Narrator: later at
the whistle museum...
Whoa. Whistles.
Ooh!
Ok. Now, let's grab
the whistle and get
out of here.
Um, which whistle are we
supposed to steal again?
Uh, the
whistley one.
Maybe we should just take
them all.
Good idea.
Narrator: at that very moment...
Ok, huggy, let's try
this new attack again.
[Chattering]
All right. Here we go.
Ah, up!
Oh! Ouch.
Don't worry, huggy.
It's a new move,
and you're still
a novice at it.
But with some practice,
you'll have it mastered.
And then we'll catch
the infamous
teddy bear villain.
Sorry. It's just
he's so cute.
[Buzz buzz]
Someone's broken into
the whistle museum.
Come on, huggy!
Word up!
[Tim-bo whistling]
Hey! Quiet much?
Why?
'Cause we're
stealing stuff.
Heh heh.
Oh. Right.
Wordgirl: sorry, guys,
but your whistle stealing
days are through.
Whoa! Wordgirl!
Right. And
you guys are?
Who wants to know?
Me.
And this is regarding?
What?
Oh, that there's
ms. Question.
Oh. Now I get it.
That's timmy tim-bo.
Hiya!
And I'm big
left hand guy.
Yeah. We're, like,
the city's newest villains.
Yeah. And we may
be novices, but
we're not scared
To take
on the legendary
wordgirl
Or that fuzzy
little monkey
guy either.
"Legendary"?
What's legendary?
Ah, well,
Legendary means that my
actions are so celebrated,
They've taken on
the nature of a legend.
You see,
people talk about me
and tell stories about me.
And, well, I'm just
so flattered by all this.
Huh. Is anyone else
a little lost?
Oh, ok.
Well, take
michelangelo's whistle.
It's supposed to have
legendary powers,
Powers that have
been discussed
throughout history.
Hey, the michel--
Blahbity-blah whistle
is the one
We're supposed to steal.
Ah, ah, ah!
You'll have to make your
way through us first.
Wow. You guys don't
look like novices.
Ok. Bring it on.
Um, aren't you guys going
to attack us or something?
We haven't
learned that yet.
We only learned
how to pose.
Heh heh. Ok,
tell you what,
Since you guys are
novices
And you haven't
successfully stolen
anything yet,
I'll give you
a head start.
Ready? Go!
Ow!
Would you
just get out
of the way?
Dude, watch your hand.
It's stuck!
Hey, do you have
to get so close?
[Ms. Question muttering]
Let's go, huggy!
Why didn't I listen
to my mother and go
to pastry college?
Wordgirl: all right.
You guys are
coming with us.
Tim-bo: no, we're not.
Fine. Huggy, let's give
them our new attack.
Hyah!
Wordgirl: ouch.
Taxi!
I didn't even
see that cab.
Man, that guy's good.
You were right, huggy.
Novice criminals stealing
whistles from a museum?
There's something
fishy going on here.
[Sighs]
That'd be me.
Does everything
have to be taken
so literally around here?
Word up!
Students, that mission
was a complete failure.
Sorry, coach.
Well, except for you
hailing that cab,
big left hand guy.
That was incredible.
Heh heh.
Thanks, coach.
In order to teach
you the proper way
to steal something,
I'm gonna bring in
a legendary student of mine,
The whammer.
[Novices gasp]
[Tv program playing]
Hey, whammer,
you got a minute?
Whammer's whamming
a little tv. Wham.
Whammer.
Ok. I'm whamming.
Whammer's going with you
to steal that whistle
To show you novices
How a legendary
villain works.
Ok. The whammer's gonna
teach you guys how to wham
And steal stuff.
Oh, and wham. Yeah! Yup!
But first the whammer's
got to get his pie
out of the oven.
Is it organic?
Coach: all right. We'll sit
and have a slice of pie.
And then you guys got
to go steal that whistle.
Uh, dude, does
your pie have
butter in it
Because I'm
super allergic
to butter.
Whammer: dude,
the whammer's pie is
whamming with butter, yeah!
Ah, man.
Mr. Whammer,
is it?
Wham.
How did you
get to be
The legendary
villain
you are today?
Wham.
Care to
elaborate?
The whammer just is,
you know? Wham.
There you go.
You see.
Easy as wham. Yeah!
Now we just wham out
the way we whammed in.
Wordgirl: I knew there
was someone behind
these novice villains.
But I never thought it
would be you, whammer.
Novice? Wham?
Novice. It means--
It means a person new
to a field or activity.
Yeah. Like a beginner.
Like a little kid playing
soccer for the first time.
Uh, fellas, that's
kind of my thing.
I define the words.
Oh, sorry.
What's the
whammer doing?
The whammer's getting
ready to wham. Yeah!
Wordgirl: take cover!
Where am i?
Oops. My wham, fellas.
My wham.
No! No, the whammer
needs that.
Oh! I'm all
whammed up, yeah.
Well, whammer,
I guess from now on
you should think
Before you wham.
Huggy, it's time to unleash
our new attack.
It's the only thing
that'll stop him.
[Chatters]
Come on, huggy.
You can do it.
Hey, look, you're
a great sidekick
And an even better
superhero.
You just need
to believe in yourself
a little bit more.
[Chatters excitedly]
Ok. Ready? , , !
Big left hand guy: taxi!
[Horn honks]
I guess I should have spent
less time inspiring you.
Narrator: man, that guy
can hail a cab.
Wordgirl: seriously.
[Mumbling nervously]
Oh, me. This carpet's dirty.
[Breathing heavily]
Here, coach.
Michelangelo's whistle!
Splendid,
big left hand guy.
You have just graduated
from novice villain
to expert.
Ha ha ha! Gee, thanks
for believing in me, coach.
You know, it's all--
Hold it right there,
Coach.
Coach: wordgirl,
how did you find me?
I followed the cab.
There's only, like,
in the whole city.
Forget it. You're
back to novice.
Aw. Marshmallows.
I should have known
you'd be behind
these novice criminals.
Novice and pathetic,
but successful.
[Laughing sinisterly]
Once I blow
this legendary whistle,
You will be under
my total control
And i, the coach,
Will become a legendary,
unstoppable force.
[Laughing]
No!

The sound,
so beautiful.
Narrator: is this the end of
wordgirl and captain huggy face?
Will the coach gain total
control over them and the city?
Is there any pie left?
[Barking]
What? It's--it's a dog whistle?
[Coach moaning]
Huggy!
Well, huggy, it looks like
you're no longer a novice
At that new attack.
As for you, coach,
it looks like
The only thing you'll be
whistling from now on
Are some sad, sad songs.
Narrator: and so once again,
our legendary heroes
Have saved the city,
this time from the coach
And a trio of odd-named
