01x39 - When the Chip is Down

Post by bunniefuu »

(whimsical music)

(spring uncoils)

- Oh, ahoy friends!

It's so good to see you.

I could use your help today.

Are you ready for an adventure?

Great. Because we're all going on a treasure hunt.

There are pirates. Arr! (laughs)

But don't worry, they're the friendly kind.

Would you like to come along with us and find the treasure?

You would? That's Dooley-rific.

Come on. Let's follow the clues and find some fun.

(upbeat music)

(children chorus cheers)

- This treasure hunt is gonna be more fun

than hunting worgles. (laughs)

Oh, I can't wait to see all the gold and jewels.

- (laughs) It's so exciting.

We'll play pirates looking for lost treasure. Whoa!

- Okay guys, are you ready?

You'll find the first clue outside.

- Thanks, mom.

- I can't wait any longer.

Can we start our treasure hunt now?

Can we, can we, can we, can we?

- Yeah, let's go.

- This'll be great.

- Arr!

- Okay, now start at the beginning and follow the clues.

- Whee!

- Hm, here's the first clue.

(clears throat) "To get to this treasure hunt's end,

find the magic lamp and pretend."

Hm. Well, gravity-gravy. What could that mean?

- Hm. We play pretend a lot.

- Yeah. Like the time we pretended we had a magic lamp

that would grant all our wishes.

- Oh, that's it.

Maybe the next clue is in the magic lamp.

- Oh, I found it. The magic lamp!

Oh, Martie!

That's the lamp we wished on.

- I had trouble pretending until you all showed me how.

And then I got my wish. (harp strings)

- Hey! We could pretend this is a magic lamp.

Whoever rubs it gets a wish.

- One wish, huh? But what would we wish for?

- Anything we want.

(fast-paced instrumental music)

♪ When you pretend it's magic all inside of your head ♪

(guitar solo)

♪ Go for a ride ♪

♪ A magic carpet baby it's there ♪

- [M.A.R.T.I.E.] Oh, what fun!

- [Dooley] Oh, yeah!

♪ Be a cowboy on the trail ♪

♪ Be a creature with a tail ♪

♪ Don't you know there's no end ♪

♪ When you pretend ♪

(guitar solo)

♪ Wishing begins in your heart ♪

♪ Pretending is a good place to start ♪

♪ Don't you know there's no end ♪

♪ That's what I said my friend ♪

♪ There's never ever an end ♪

♪ When you pretend ♪

♪ When you pretend ♪

♪ When you pretend ♪

- [Dooley] All right!

(music crescendos)

- [Together] Yay!

Good job, Martie!

- Then he granted them three wishes.

Hm, I wonder, what would it be like

if we could have three wishes for anything in the universe?

- Ha! I wish we could be in that story.

(flashback)

Oh! I am in the story of the three wishes.

- [Cosmos] Zoom, Zoom!

- Cosmos, over here!

- Zoom, I just met a magic wishing fish

and he gave us three wishes.

What should we wish for?

- Wow. Three wishes. Hm.

Let's take our time and think about this.

- [Together] Hm.

- Oh, I know.

I wish I had a beautiful ca-nerpel.

- No, no, no!

Ah! What have you done?

You've just wasted a wish on a ca-nerpel?

And what's it doing on my nose?

- (laughs) Well, I was just thinking of

how much you like the smell of ca-nerpels.

- Oh, this is terrible.

And we only have two wishes left.

- (laughs) How does your ca-nerpel smell, Zoom?

(rapid drawing)

(dreamy music)

- Well, ahoy maties!

- [Together] Hey, Mrs. Z.

- Ooh, Mrs Z!

We're pretending to be pirates on a treasure hunt. Arr!

- For gold and jewels!

- And for fun.

- I see. Well, maybe my letter of the day can help you.

It's F for fun.

- An F is for fun. We need to find the next clue.

- I've got it. Here's the next clue.

- Woohoo! Read it out loud, Nick.

- "Stay together and don't stray apart

and follow the beat of your heart."

- You know, it sounds like

it has something to do with music.

- Huh? Oh, music! Yeah, I know about music.

You taught us all about it when you brought musical notes.

- And we learned we can dance to the beat of our hearts.

- That was so much fun.

Music is easy when we follow our own rhythm.

♪ We've got the moves ♪

♪ We've got what it takes for a natural groove ♪

♪ Your heart's beating with pride ♪

(music crescendos)

- Ha! That was a lot of fun, Mrs. Z.

- It was, wasn't it?

Well, I better make like a tree and leaf. (Dooley laughs)

But I don't want to forget your Picture Pal.

- Oh, thank you.

- You're welcome.

Well, I hope you all find your treasure. Bonne chance!

That's good luck in French.

- [Together] Bonne chance. Bye, Mrs. Z!

- (hums happily) Oh, simmering sunspots!

This picture from Robert is Julie-Dooley-Beautiful!

And Justin sent in a picture too.

Look at all the colors.

Oh, this picture from Lauren looks just like me.

These are all Dooley-rific.

Thanks, Picture Pals.

Hey kids! Are you ready to join us on a real treasure hunt?

Take a look at this.

(whimsical music)

- Oh! Where's that pirate chest?

- Hm. Follow the beat of your heart.

- Wait, I know!

The stethoscope we used to hear our heartbeats.

- Oh, that's it! (laughs)

Look out, treasure. Here we come!

- Here's our next clue.

"Don't be scared. It's just for fun.

If you see a ghost, you shouldn't run."

- Ah, g-g-ghost?

We're not gonna start with ghosts again, are we?

- Don't worry, Martie.

But I think I know what this next clue means.

Boo!

- Oh! Oh, circling satellites!

That's the ghost we saw

when we thought the spaceship was haunted.

- You and Michael really scared us.

- Oh, I knew it was you two all along.

I wasn't scared a bit.

I was just pretending to be scared.

(harp strings)

- There! That should hold it.

- Hm. I guess it just had a loose nail.

- Oh, I'm sure that's all it was.

It's easy to spook ourselves when strange things happen.

But there's usually a simple explanation.

(spooky music)

- Whoa!

(eerie flute)

- Ooh! L-l-look! Ooh! (breathes rapidly)

- I don't see anything. N-n-nothing at all.

There are no ghosts. There are no ghosts.

- Oh! Well, melting meteors.

There's a clue on that ghost.

- Ooh, ooh. "If your stomach's a-growling,

you're getting hot, why don't you look in the poozle pot?"

- Hm. So we should look for my goozle pot.

Huh, where did I leave that?

- Dooley, there's no time to cook!

We're searching for treasure, lots of treasure!

Ooh, we're gonna (words get mangled)

(metallic clanking) We're gonna be rich.

Oh, those solid gold goodies.

- Martie! The next clue has something to do with poozle.

- Yeah! Remember the first time Dooley cooked poozle for us?

It tasted so good!

- You didn't even want to try it first.

- Yeah, I know. But I'm sure glad I did.

- I was afraid you guys would never want to try it.

But I was so happy you liked it, though.

(harp strings)

Everybody eat the poozle.

Before it bends.

(bubbling)

- [Together] Ahh!

- Voila!

Yum, yum.

- Wow! Tastes like purple, only better.

With a pinch of summer vacation.

- Mm, summery!

- Mm, more rosebuds than purple.

- Purple? Rosebuds?

What do you mean? You don't make sense.

Mm, race cars.

And my first home run.

Dooley's special treat makes you think of

your favorite things while you eat it.

- This is good.

Really weird, but really good.

- Thanks, Dooley.

You're the best cook on two planets.

Yours and ours.

- Hm, whatcha doing, Zoom?

- I'm not doing anything. I'm bored.

- Well, let's play a game. Tag?

- I'm tired of tag.

- Hm, hide and seek!

- We know just about every hiding place on the ship by now.

- Hm, I know. Let's try something new.

Let's play I Spy With My Little Eye.

Ready?

I spy with my little eye-

- A very bored friend.

- Oh, don't you want to play, Zoom?

- I don't know how to play by I Spy, Cosmos.

I don't want to.

- But you might like it if you try it. It's fun.

- No, Cosmos. I don't want to try it.

I don't want to learn a new game.

I have enough games already.

- Hm, Zoom.

It's fun to try something new.

Come on, try it with me.

I spy with my little eye...

Zoom walking away. Hm.

(sci-fi beeping)

(whimsical music)

- These are today's fun facts.

- Canaries can remember songs that they've been taught.

- Goldfish cannot remember things after three seconds.

(whimsical music)

- (sighs) My goozle pot must be somewhere.

- I found it. The poozle pot.

- Look inside and see if there's a clue.

- Hey, you haven't found the treasure yet, have you?

- Not yet.

But we just found our next clue.

- We found some really cool things, mom.

- Stuff that reminds us of fun times.

- That's a different kind of treasure, isn't it?

- Yeah! But, uh, where's the real treasure? Huh, huh?

- I've got the next clue.

- Ooh, I can hardly wait! Read it to us.

- "X marks the spot you've cracked the clues.

The treasure should be right in front of you."

- I don't see anything.

- Oh, we'll never find it.

This treasure hunting thing is harder than I thought.

- Hm. Uh, Martie. What's that?

- What's what?

- What's that you're leaning on?

- It's just an old blanket. (gasps)

Ooh, it's the treasure! (laughs)

- [Kids] Treasure!

- We're rich. Doubloons! Triploons! (laughs)

Hey, these pearls aren't real.

This gold isn't real.

This isn't real treasure at all.

- Well, we had fun hunting for it.

Didn't you have fun, Martie?

- Yeah. I just thought, oh.

I just wanted to find some real treasure, that's all.

- I think you guys did find real treasure.

- Huh? What do you mean?

- Well, we found some cool stuff

that reminded us of good times.

- Exactly. You found great memories.

And that's the greatest treasure there is.

- Well, we did remember some fun times.

I guess I wouldn't trade my good memories for treasure.

Ooh! Like the time we went camping in the great outdoors.

- Cosmic comets! That was a Dooley-rific time, huh, Martie?

- Right, h*-h*! We went looking for wild animals.

And we had a campfire.

Oh, and we went hiking through the woods

and we ate mush pillows, uh, I mean (metallic clanking)

Marshmallows.

And we sang songs.

Oh, it was so terrific. I had the best time ever.

(both sigh)

- Gee, Cosmos.

Doesn't being outside in nature feel great?

- Zoom? We're not outside.

We're in the spaceship.

- Pretend, my dear friend.

- Oh, yeah. Right. (both sigh)

I just love the fresh air, the buzzing of the bees.

- Bees! Where, where, where, where?

- Pretend, my dear friend. (both laugh)

- Right.

- Zoom? Do you smell a skunk?

- Skunk? Where, where, where?

- Pretend again, Zoom. (laughs)

- Well, that joke really stunk, Cosmos.

- (laughs) The skunk joke stunk.

(both laugh)

- Cosmos, I sure like camping with you.

Let's pitch our tent, okay?

- Great, let's do it.

- Did we bring a tent?

- [Together] Aw!

- Daily Dooley log entry.

Oh, hi everybody!

It's me, Dooley!

Ever since my ship landed here on earth,

I've learned lots about your planet.

We had so much fun today on our treasure hunt.

Martie couldn't wait to follow all the clues

and find a hidden pirate treasure full of gold and jewels.

- Thanks, mom.

- Oh, I can't wait any longer.

Can we start our treasure hunt now?

Can we, can we, can we, can we?

- I know what this next clue means.

- [Dooley] My friends and I found some little treasures

along the way that reminded us of

all the fun times we've had.

We finally found the treasure chest

and Martie was disappointed that it was only a toy chest.

But we helped him understand that memories of our friends

and family are better than any treasure.

- We did remember some fun times.

I guess I wouldn't trade my good memories for treasure.

- [Dooley] And as always,

we shared some Dooley-rific Picture Pals.

Don't forget to mail yours to The Dooley and Pals Show.
