## Transcript

*The title card for* Amanda the Adventurer *is shown. It cuts to Amanda and Wooly standing in a kitchen.*

* **Amanda**: "Hi! I'm Amanda!"
* **Wooly**: "And I'm Wooly!"
* **Amanda**: "Today, we're going to make an apple pie!"
* **Wooly**: "My favorite is peach pie!"
* **Amanda**: "What's your favorite kind of pie?"

*If the player types anything in the six-letter prompt:*

* **Amanda**: "Mmm, that sounds delicious!"

*If the player gives unconventional answers, such as "Lamb" or "Mutton", Wooly gasps and the music slows down.*

* **Amanda**: *[turning to Wooly]* "Mmm, that sounds delicious!"

*The tape cuts, the music returns to normal.*

* **Amanda**: "Today, we're going to make an apple pie! First, we need to cut the apples. Hmmm, do you know what we can use to cut the apples?"

*If the player doesn't type "Knife", Wooly and Amanda shake their heads:*

* **Amanda**: "We can't use that."

*After answering incorrectly three times, the player is forced to type "Knife".*

*After typing "Knife", Amanda is suddenly shown with a knife:*

* **Amanda**: "Good job! We can use a sharp knife!"

*Behind Amanda is a drawing of an oven being turned on. If the player were to pause the TV and turn on the toy oven, the oven in the show bursts into flames.*

* **Amanda**: "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
* **Wooly**: "AH! AH! OH NO! AH!"

*The two cower. The tape then ends.*

***Next Episode: "In Your Neighborhood (Version 2)"***

* **Wooly**: "Uhhh, I don't think we're supposed to do that by ourselves."
* **Amanda**: "It's always good to be brave when you're by yourself!"

*Amanda points the knife at Wooly, much to his dismay.*

* **Amanda**: "Look, I'm a pirate! Haha! Hehe!"
* **Wooly**: "That doesn't seem safe."
* **Amanda**: *[sarcastically]* "Okay, Wooly. *[to Riley]* Let's cut the apples."

*The video glitches and cuts. Flour and butter have appeared on the counter.*

* **Amanda**: "That was hard!"

*Wooly nods and claps in agreement.*

* **Amanda**: "We have almost everything we need to make our pie. We just need some sugar. Hmm, do you know where we keep the sugar? Is it in the pantry, the refrigerator, or the sink?"

*If the player clicks anything but the pantry:*

* **Amanda**: "Nope, try again!"

*After the second time:*

* **Amanda**: *[annoyed]* "Don't you want to help me?"

*After the third time, the sink and fridge disappear. The oven looks around curiously.*

* **Amanda**: "So, where's the *sugar?*"

*After clicking the pantry:*

* **Amanda**: "Great! Let's make a pie!"

*A prepared pie is shown on the table.*

* **Amanda**: "Mmm, can you smell the apples and cinnamon? *[pause]* Okay, it's time to bake a pie! First, preheat the oven to four hundred twenty-five--"
* **Wooly**: "I don't think we should be using the oven by ourselves. We should always ask a parent to help."
* **Amanda**: "I'm not sure where they are right now. *[giggles]* We're on our own, Wooly!"

*Illustrations for the instructions are shown.*

* **Amanda**: "First, preheat the oven to four hundred twenty-five degrees. Then, put the apples into the pie tin. Now, put it in the oven, and bake it for 40 minutes."

*The pie finishes baking. It rests on the stove.*

* **Amanda**: "Our pie is ready! I can't wait to eat it. Wooly, let's have some pie!"

*Amanda and Wooly wave Riley goodbye.*

***Next Episode: "In Your Neighborhood"***

## Trivia

* As shown in the demo, a cipher was planned to show where the oven drawing is (see gallery), with many aspects using the cipher. The flower color key would be a crossword puzzle for the cipher key. However, this would require many associated aspects to be translated into 13 languages.
