[bunniefuu]

♫ Bottle Top Bill and his best friend Corky

♫ Up on the hill

♫ Let's watch them as they play

♫ Playing all day

♫ Hooray

- [Bill] The Adventures of Bottle Top Bill.

- [Corky] And his best friend Corky.

♫ Bottle Top Bill

- [Corky] Where are we going today, Bill?

- [Bill] We're off to Mrs. Whistlehead's farm, Corky.

- [Corky] Is that where we're having today's adventure?

- Spot on, Corky, and it's called Milking the Cow.

I love it out here, Corky.

- Me too, Bill.

- Fresh air...

- Open spaces...

- The peace and--

(wailing)

- Sorry, Bill, what did you say?

- I said peace and--

(wailing)

- I still didn't hear you, Bill.

- What I'm trying to say is peace and--

(wailing)

Quiet?

But it's not quiet at all.

- [Corky] The noise is coming from over there, Bill.

- [Bill] It sounded like a cow.

- [Corky] A very big cow.

- [Bill] Not just any big cow, Corky, but Maisie the cow.

- What's the matter, Maisie?

- Why all the mooing?

(wailing)

- She sounds upset, Bill, but why?

- I don't know, Corky.

(honking)

Now who could this be?

- [Corky] That's not a moo this time, Bill.

- [Bill] So it can't be a cow.

- [Corky] Not when it's got wheels and a loud horn.

- [Bill] It's a motorbike, Corky, but who's on it?

- [Corky] Mrs. Whistlehead.

- [Bill] And Timmy the dog.

- Hello, Bill.

Hello, Corky.

- Hello, Mrs. Whistlehead.

(barking)

- And hello to you, Timmy.

(mooing)

- Maisie's very loud today, Mrs. Whistlehead.

- Is something the matter with her?

- It's her milking time, but she'll have to wait a bit.

Poor Timmy's hurt his paw.

It's only a scratch, but I should take him to the vet

to make sure it's not serious.

- Poor Timmy.

(whimpering)

(moaning)

- Maisie, I'll be back to milk you as soon as I can.

(groaning)

Oh dear, she can be such a trouble sometimes.

- There's no trouble here, Mrs. Whistlehead.

We can milk Maisie for you.

- That's so nice of you to offer,

but Maisie only lets me milk her.

- Don't worry, Mrs. Whistlehead, we're up for the job.

- Are you sure?

- Easy.

Milking's no problem at all.

- Thank you, Bill.

Thank you, Corky.

Come on then, Timmy.

(honking)

- Good luck, Timmy.

(barking)

- Right, Corky, let's get into this milking.

- Uh, there's just one thing, Bill.

- What's that?

- I've never milked a cow before.

- Not to worry, Corky, I've seen it done on television.

- So you've never milked a cow either.

- Uh, not really, no.

But there's a first time for everything.

Now, what do we need?

- [Corky] A stool to sit on.

- [Bill] And a bucket for the milk.

- [Corky] I think that's everything.

- Right, let's get cracking.

- Are you sure about this, Bill?

- Nothing could be simpler.

Now look here, Corky.

(groaning)

I just put the bucket under the udder,

sit on the stool, and we're ready to go.

(groaning)

It's all right, Maisie, you just hold still.

Maisie...

Maisie...

- Maisie's not going to make this easy, Bill.

- We'll see about that.

(playful music)

This isn't very friendly of you, Maisie.

(mooing)

What are we going to do?

- I've got an idea, Bill.

I think some vegetables might be just what we need.

- [Bill] We can have lunch later, Corky.

- But these carrots aren't for you and me, Bill.

They're for Maisie.

- I get it, Corky.

Now she's eating, she'll stay in one spot.

- While you milk her.

- Which is coming up right now.

Maisie, I can't see what I'm doing

with your tail in the way.

Maisie, you're being very naughty.

Paint me pink, Corky.

- I think Maisie's got us beaten.

- I wouldn't be so sure of that, Corky.

- What are you thinking, Bill?

- You take the bucket, Corky, and follow me.

(mooing)

When I give the word, Corky, you hold the bucket

under Maisie and I'll start milking.

- But what if she moves, Bill?

- Then we keep moving with her.

Ready, Corky?

- Ready, Bill.

- And go.

(mooing)

- [Corky] I don't know if we can keep up, Bill.

- [Bill] We have to, Corky.

(mooing)

(panting)

- She's too fast for us, Bill.

- You're right there, Corky.

- What should we do now, Bill?

- To tell the truth, Corky, I don't really know.

- [Male] Bill, Corky!

- [Bill] Who was that?

- [Corky] I know that voice.

- [Bill] And I know those feet.

- [Corky] And those arms.

- [Bill] And that head.

- It's Neighbor Ned.

Hello, Ned.

What brings you here?

- I saw you chasing Maisie.

What's going on?

- We've been trying to milk her.

- But she won't let us.

- Ha, I could've told you that.

Maisie only lets Mrs. Whistlehead milk her.

(mooing)

- But Maisie really does need to be milked.

- Bad luck.

If you don't look like Mrs. Whistlehead,

then you can't milk Maisie.

- What did you just say, Ned?

- I said if Maisie looked like Mrs. Whistlehead...

Uh, no, that's not it.

I said if Mrs. Whistlehead looked like us...

Uh, that's not right.

- You sort of said that if one of us

looked like Mrs. Whistlehead, we could milk Maisie.

- That's it.

That's what I said, I think.

- Paint me pink, that's how we'll do it.

- But, Bill, none of us

looks anything like Mrs. Whistlehead.

- Correct, Corky, but I know someone who can look like her.

- Who?

- Where?

- [Bill] We'll have to look inside our shed.

- [Corky] What, is someone hiding there?

- [Bill] No, we put them there.

- [Corky] We did?

- [Bill] Remember the robot that

Cedric the scientist gave us?

- [Corky] But he doesn't

look anything like Mrs. Whistlehead.

- [Bill] He doesn't now,

but he will when we've finished with him.

- How will you make him look like Mrs. Whistlehead, Bill?

- Watch this, Corky.

First, we give him some hair.

- [Ned] Wow.

- Then we make him a dress.

- [Ned] Double wow.

- He does look like Mrs. Whistlehead, sort of.

- I bet he'll fool Maisie.

- But, Bill, how will you get the robot to milk her?

- I'll use that.

- [Ned] What is it?

- [Bill] It's my remote control box.

- Great.

What does this button do?

- Careful, Ned.

- Don't touch.

- I won't touch, I promise.

- Right, robot, let's see if you work.

- It's working, Bill.

- Let's go and milk Maisie.

(mooing)

- So far so good, Bill.

- Now, let's see if he's any good at milking.

- It's working, Bill.

- Look at that robot go.

- [Corky] And look at all that milk.

- We did it.

(mooing)

- Was the robot meant to do that, Bill?

- No, Corky, it was meant to stop.

There's something wrong with these controls.

- It wasn't my fault.

I didn't touch anything this time.

- It's all right, Ned, we know that.

- Nothing seems to be working, Corky.

- Where's the robot going, Bill?

- Wherever it's going, we've got to stop it

before it gets there.

Stop, robot.

It looks like the robot's heading

for Mrs. Whistlehead's washing.

- [Corky] I hope it's not going to cause trouble.

- Got you.

- Now what, Bill?

- We stop it, Corky.

- How do we do that?

- Uh, I'm not sure.

Corky!

- Oh no, I can't look.

- [Bill] Help me, Corky!

- Are you all right, Bill?

- No, Corky, I'm not all right at all.

Help me.

- I've got to save Bill.

I said I wouldn't touch anything, but I have to try.

Which button would stop the robot?

Um, this one.

(shouting)

- Bill, are you all right?

- I think so, Corky.

- How did you get the robot to stop?

- I didn't.

- It was me, I stopped it.

- Good for you, Ned.

- You touched the right thing.

- I did.

I did touch the right thing.

- Thanks, Ned, you did well.

- But look at the mess it made, Bill.

- All this for one bucket of milk?

- The milk, what's happened to it?

- Here it is, safe and sound.

- That's amazing.

- Not a drop was spilled.

- Mrs. Whistlehead will be happy.

- Until she sees her washing everywhere.

- Quick, let's pick it up before she gets back.

- What about the milk?

- Good thinking, Ned.

I'll put it safely in the refrigerator.

- Maybe one of these buttons will make the robot help us.

- Careful, Ned.

- But I know what I'm doing now.

- What's happening, Corky?

- Ned touched something, Bill.

- But it was the right thing again.

- [Bill] The robot should be taking the clothes

back to the line.

- [Corky] But it's going towards the house.

- I can stop it.

- No, Ned, don't touch.

- Please, Ned.

- I'll just try this button.

- [Bill] It's out of control.

- After it again, Bill?

- After it again.

(mooing)

- I'll touch the right thing again, I will, I think I will.

- There's a lesson to learn here, Bill.

(panting)

- This was the first time we've ever milked a cow.

- And the last time we'll ever milk a cow.

- When you're right, Corky, you're right.

(mooing)

- [Corky] It's time for an adventure, isn't it, Bill?

- [Bill] It sure is, Corky.

- [Corky] What's today's adventure called?

- It's called The Big Dig.

It's a lovely sunny day, Corky.

- Just right for doing some gardening.

- I don't think we'll have time for that, Corky.

We've got a visitor.

It's Mrs. Whistlehead.

- [Corky] But who's that with her?

- [Bill] It doesn't look like Timmy the dog.

- [Corky] It's too small for Timmy.

- [Bill] And Timmy doesn't have feathers or a beak.

- [Corky] It's a duck.

- Hello, Bill.

Hello, Corky.

- Hello, Mrs. Whistlehead.

- Who's your new friend?

- This little duck has been around my farm for days.

- Maybe he's lost.

- Or maybe he's looking for a new home.

(quacking)

- That means a duckpond.

But I don't have anything like a duckpond on my farm.

(mournful quack)

- What if someone dug a pond for you?

- Someone like me and Corky?

- How wonderful.

- And we'll start right away.

- Oh, thank you.

I'll go into town and get some ice cream.

You'll be needing it after a big dig on a hot day.

I won't be long.

- Take your time, Mrs. Whistlehead,

we'll dig the best duckpond ever.

- Are we all ready?

(quacks)

- Then let's get cracking.

- [Corky] What should we do first, Bill?

- [Bill] First we go to Mrs. Whistlehead's farm

and find a good place for the duckpond.

- [Corky] And then put some pegs in the ground

to mark the shape of the pond.

- [Bill] You've got it, Corky.

And we'll be needing some tools for digging.

- Like two spades and a wheelbarrow?

Do you think this is a good spot for the pond, Bill?

- I do, Corky, but let's hear what this little fellow says.

(quacking)

- Shall we get started, Bill?

- Too right, Corky, let's dig in.

(groaning)

(quacks)

- What's wrong, Bill?

- This ground is as hard as a rock.

- Let me have a try.

(groaning)

(quacks)

- We need a machine.

- [Corky] What's this, Bill?

- [Bill] It's just the thing for a big dig.

- [Corky] A big drill?

- [Bill] The biggest, Corky.

There'll be no trouble with hard ground now.

- You better stand back, little duck.

- There'll be dirt flying everywhere.

(quacking)

- Ready, Bill?

- Ready, Corky.

(quacking)

- I think that's enough, Bill.

- [Bill] We did it, Corky.

- But what have we done?

- It should be a big hole for the pond.

- It doesn't look like a big hole, Bill.

- It's more like a great big mess.

(quacking)

- Bill, look, something's there.

- [Bill] What is it?

- [Corky] It must be something

that has a home under the ground.

It's a rabbit.

He doesn't look too happy, Bill.

- Our digging must've upset him.

- What's he doing, Bill?

- He's sniffing the air.

That's how rabbits find their food.

- Do you think he's found some?

- He couldn't have.

There's no food around here, Corky.

- Then where's he going?

(quacking)

- [Bill] Paint me pink, he's heading

for the vegetable patch.

- [Corky] But why would he go there?

- [Bill] He wants to eat the vegetables.

- We have to save them, Bill.

- Let's go.

The carrots have gone, Corky.

- So have the lettuce.

- The tomatoes, Corky.

- He's got everything, Bill.

- What's Mrs. Whistlehead going to say?

- We've made a big mess, Bill.

- And we've got a big job to clean it up.

- And how will we replace the missing vegetables?

- Good question.

- We need some help, Bill.

- And I know just the person.

Farmer Sam.

- You stay here while we go to Farmer Sam's.

(quacks)

- Let's go, Corky.

(crashing and booming)

(quacking)

- [Corky] Do you think Farmer Sam

will give us some vegetables, Bill?

- [Bill] I hope so, Corky.

- I hope he's home.

- He doesn't seem to be in his field.

- I see someone.

Look.

- [Bill] It's the rabbit.

- He's followed us.

- The cheeky thing.

Excuse me, Mr. Rabbit, could we have a word, please?

(honking)

- How about that, Bill?

I didn't know rabbits could honk.

- Neither did I, Corky, amazing.

- Maybe not so amazing, Bill.

Because I don't think it was the rabbit.

- [Bill] Then who is it?

- [Corky] I think it's someone on a tractor.

- [Bill] You're right, Corky.

- [Corky] Could it be Farmer Sam, Bill?

- [Bill] It is Farmer Sam.

- Morning, Bill.

Morning, Corky.

- Good morning, Farmer Sam.

- Where are you going?

- I'm taking my vegetables into market.

- Vegetables?

Vegetables are why we've come to see you.

- Could you spare a few for us?

- Not really for us, for Mrs. Whistlehead.

- Of course.

Take a box from the trailer.

- Thank you, Sam.

- Is there anything we can do for you?

- Mm, there is one thing.

- You tell us and we'll do it.

- [Sam] I want to build a new fence across this field

to stop my cows from wandering away.

- [Bill] It looks like you've got all the fence posts ready.

- That's right, Bill, it just needs one thing to be done.

- What's that, Sam?

- I need holes for the fence posts and that means digging.

- [Both] Digging?

- Do you know much about digging?

- Too right, Sam, we're experts in digging.

- Excellent, happy digging, then.

(honking)

- This is getting to be one big job, Bill.

How will we do it?

- Good question, Corky.

The ground is too hard for our spades...

- And our big drill just makes a big mess.

- But that rabbit makes digging as easy as you please.

- [Corky] If only he'd help us.

(gasping)

- I think I might have the way, Corky, watch.

- [Corky] What is it, Bill?

- [Bill] A new machine I've invented, Corky,

especially for planting vegetables.

- [Corky] Planting vegetables?

- [Bill] That's right, Corky.

- [Corky] But how will planting vegetables

help us build a fence?

- Watch, Corky.

This is going to be amazing.

Just start it up.

Then let it go.

- [Corky] I see it now, Bill, the rabbit is digging holes

as he eats the vegetables.

- And the holes are just the right size

for these fence posts.

- Brilliant work, Bill.

- We'll have this fence finished quicker than a wink.

- Farmer Sam will be delighted.

The machine moves very fast.

- [Bill] And it's getting faster.

- [Corky] Where's it going, Bill?

- [Bill] It looks like it's heading for the river.

- Oh well, at least we've got all the post holes dug.

- And at least the rabbit's got lots of vegetables.

- Hi.

- Let's finish the fence, Bill.

- Spot on, Corky.

- Mrs. Whistlehead will be pleased with these vegetables.

(quacking)

What's the trouble, little fellow?

(quacking)

- He wants us to follow him.

(quacking)

- Look at this big hole, Bill.

- Where did it come from?

- And what happened to the vegetable patch?

- The rabbit's digging made it turn into a big hole.

Paint me pink, Corky, we've got to fill up this hole,

then dig another hole for the duckpond.

- Hold on, Bill, if we already have one big hole here...

- Yes?

- Then maybe we don't need another for the duckpond.

- Top thinking, Corky.

- [Corky] We'll just put one end of the hose on the tap.

- [Bill] And the other end in the hole.

- [Corky] And fill the hole with water.

- Ready, Corky?

- Ready, Bill.

- Here it comes.

- It's filling, Bill.

- Let's hope the duck will like it.

(quacking)

Another job done, Corky.

- But, Bill, what about Mrs. Whistlehead's vegetable patch?

- The veggie patch?

Why it's...

Not there anymore.

- We need to make a new patch.

- That means more digging.

- Maybe not, Bill, look.

Why don't we turn that into the vegetable patch?

- Top idea, Corky.

- Then let's get planting.

(honking)

- Bill, Corky, I have that ice cream.

My goodness.

- What do you think, Mrs. Whistlehead?

- What a wonderful duckpond you've made.

But, um...

- But what, Mrs. Whistlehead?

- Isn't this where my vegetable patch was?

- Well, uh, you see, Mrs. Whistlehead...

- We moved the vegetable patch over there.

- That's an excellent place for it.

And this is just right for the duckpond.

You're the best diggers in the world.

- Really?

- This deserves a nice treat.

I'll just get some plates for the ice cream.

- This has been quite an adventure, Corky.

- Yes, Bill.

We took to digging just like ducks to water.

- When you're right, Corky, you're right.
