(Fade to white and fade to the dress disappears)
The Rugrats: Ooh!
Perry: Look. I did it. I did it! I did it, I did it, I did it! I made it disappear! I am the amazing Perry. This is my best trick ever!
(The dress appears)
(Angelica takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a dress)
Phil: Oh, yeah. It's right there.
(Angelica puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Lil: Hey. You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Phil and Lil get two notebooks out of Phil and Lil's pocket)
Tommy: Notebook.
Phil: Notebook. Okay.
Lil: So, what is this clue?
Tommy: A dress.
Phil: A dress.
Lil: Right.
(Phil and Lil open two notebooks)
Phil: And there.
Lil: A dress.
Susie: So... what was our first clue?
Tommy: A microphone.
Susie: Right. A microphone. And now our second clue is a dress.
Tommy: So, who could be Traci's singing partner with a microphone and a dress?
Chuckie: Maybe it's a friend who holds a microphone and has a dress.
Tommy: Yeah. Maybe. But, I think we better find our last clue to figure this out, before the big music show.
(Phil and Lil close two notebooks and put two notebooks in Phil and Lil's pocket)
Tommy: Which is really soon.
Chuckie: Come on.
Stephen: How do they look?
Marshall: Mmm! They look delicious!
Steve: All right! So, what do we have to do next?
Traci: Let's look at our list!
Angelica: Oh! Great idea, Traci.
Phil: We can look at our list, to see what we have to do next.
Steve: So, we had our breakfast...
The Rugrats and Steve: ...check!
Steve: We made our costumes...
The Rugrats and Steve: ...check!
Steve: Our stage is ready...
The Rugrats and Steve: ...check!
Steve's Dad: The cookies are done!
Traci: Ooh! Yum!
Steve: We made our snacks...
The Rugrats and Steve: ...check!
Steve: (singing) We still have to play Spike's Clues to find out who Traci's singing partner should be!
Lil: But... we already found two clues. So, we're getting pretty close.
Steve: We made our song, che...
Susie: Is there a check by our song? Nope. No. Hey! We still have to make up a song that we can sing in the big music show.
Traci: Oh, no. What should I do? Wait. I think I have an idea.
Steve: What? You have an idea?
Traci: Yeah! Follow me!
Steve: Traci's always thinking. Come on.
Traci: See?
(Traci points at a page of music)
Tommy: Oh! Good thinking, Traci.
Steve: Hey, is that a page of music?
Traci: Yeah! Maybe we could make up a song in this page of music. Come on, Steve.
(Traci leaves)
Steve: A page of music is a perfect place for us to make up our song!
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats and Steve are in the studio)
(Keyboard playing)
Steve: Hey. What's that noise?
(Notes playing)
Steve: There it is again.
(Notes playing)
Steve: Where's that noise coming from?
The Rugrats: The keyboard.
Steve: Oh! Oh! This keyboard.
(Keyboard playing the notes)
Steve: You're right.
(Keyboard plays)
Steve: This keyboard is making music!
(Steve playing on the keys)
Steve: Hey. Maybe we can use this keyboard to make our song for the big music show.
(Keyboard playing)
Steve: Um...
(Notes playing)
Steve: No. Uh... How about, uh...
(Notes playing)
Jazzman: (scat singing) Yeah! Keep playin'! You're doing great!
Steve: Wow. You're good.
(The Rugrats and Steve walk up to Jazzman)
Steve: Hi. I'm Steve. And this is your friends.
The Rugrats: Hi, Jazzman.
Jazzman: Hey! I'm Jazzman. So you're trying to make up a little song. Huh?
Steve: Well, yeah. But it's not going well.
Jazzman: Well, you're doing the right thing.
Steve: Really?
Jazzman: Exactly. You started off with the notes. That's an excellent place to begin.
Steve: Notes? Oh! Oh! You mean... these sounds...
(Notes playing)
Steve: ...are notes!
Jazzman: You got that right, Steve. Meet my friends, the notes.
Note Man 1: Hello!
Note Man 2: Hey!
Note Man 3: Howdy!
Steve: Hi.
Note Man 2: How's it going?
Note Man 1: What'd you're doing down there?
Steve: Oh! We're just trying to make up a song.
Note Man 2: A song? I wanna be in a song!
Note Man 3: Hey! May I be in a song?
Note Man 1: What's the song for?
Steve: Um... It's for a big music show. We're doing, in our backyard.
Note Man 1: I've been in a lot of songs, Steve. Do you want to pick me?
Note Man 2: Pick me, Steve. Come on.
Steve: Pick you? But...
Note Man 3: Pick me!
Steve: How do we choose?
Jazzman: Let me break this down for you, Steve. First, you start by picking notes that you like. (singing) Some notes are...
Note Man 1: (singing) High!
Jazzman: (singing) And some notes are...
Note Man 2: (singing) Low!
Jazzman: Sing it with me, Steve.
Steve: Sing it? Sure! Will you sing it with us?
(The Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Steve: Great. (singing) Some notes are... What?
Chuckie: High.
Steve: High. Right. Where are the high notes on this keyboard?
Angelica: There!
Steve: So, some notes are...
Note Man 1: (singing) High!
Steve: (singing) And some notes are... What?
Phil: Low!
Steve: Oh, yeah. Right. Low. Where are the low notes on this keyboard?
Lil: There! Right there!
Steve: And some notes are...
Note Man 2: (singing) Low!
Note Man 1 and Note Man 2: (singing) Put two notes together! Yeah!
Jazzman: That's a harmony. (singing) Who knows where they'll go?
Note Man 1 and Note Man 2: (harmonizing)
Steve: Notes. Okay. Let's pick some notes for our song. Uh...
(Steve plays the notes)
Steve: Sounds great! We have our notes!
Note Man 1: Wow!
Note Man 2: That's great!
Note Man 3: All right!
Steve: (singinf) Beep, bop, bay! Beep, bop, bay! Beep, bop, bay!
Jazzman: Yeah! Ooh! All right now.
Steve: You know? We still think it needs something else.
Jazzman: That's a beautiful, Steve. You made some good rhythms.
Steve: We made rhythms?
Jazzman: Yes, you did. Every song's got a rhythm, Steve. You just have to know how to use it. I'll show you. Clap!
(Steve and Jazzman clap)
Jazzman: Now rest!
(Steve resting)
Jazzman: That means Wait. Great. Now let's try this. Rest, clap-clap, rest, clap! Rest, clap-clap, rest, clap!
Steve: Hey. Clap with us.
(The Rugrats, Steve and Jazzman clapping and resting)
Jazzman: Excellent, Steve. Now try to keep up with this.
Chorus: (singing) Boom, chicka, biddy, boom, boom, chicka, biddy, diddy!
Jazzman: (singing) Rhythm takes you music!
Chorus: (singing) And makes it all move! Makes it all move!
Jazzman: (singing) You gotta have rhythm if you want things to groove!
Chorus: (singing) Oh, yeah! It makes your notes short! And it makes your notes long! Long, long, long, long! Or it makes your notes rest!
Jazzman: One, two, three, four!
Chorus: (singing) At any point of your songs!
Steve: Hey! This is great! Let's try it again.
Chorus: (singing) Rhythm takes you music! And makes it all move! Makes it all move!
Jazzman: (singing) You gotta have rhythm if you want things to groove!
Chorus: (singing) Oh, yeah! It makes your notes short! And it makes your notes long! Long, long, long, long! Or it makes your notes rest!
Jazzman: One, two, three, four!
Chorus: (singing) At any point of your songs! Boom, chicka, diddy, boom, boom, chicka, biddy, diddy, boom!
Steve: So, rhythm... (singing) Makes your notes...
Susie: Short.
Steve: Short! Right. Or it... (singing) Makes your notes... What?
Tommy: Long.
Steve: Long! Yeah! Rhythm: short and long! We did it.
Note Man 1: How about some rhythm for us?
Note Man 2: I can't wait to have some rhythm.
Note Man 3: I love rhythm!
Note Man 1: Whoo!
Note Man 2: You gotta have some rhythm!
Steve: Yeah. Let's pick a rhythm for our song.
(Steve plays a rhythm)
Steve: No. Uh...
Note Man 1: Not quite!
Note Man 2: But it's close!
Note Man 3: It's gettin' there, it's gettin' there!
(Steve plays a different rhythm)
Steve: No, uh...
Note Man 1: Hang in there, Steve!
Note Man 2: Almost, Steve! Almost!
Note Man 3: Get closer than you think!
(Steve plays the right rhythm)
Steve: Ooh! Ooh! I like that one.
Note Man 1: Oh, yeah!
Note Man 2: Great job, Steve!
Steve: Yeah! This rhythm's great! (singing) Beep, bop, bay! But I still think it needs something else.
Jazzman: What you need, Steve, is tempo.
Steve: A tempo?
Jazzman: A tempo is all about how fast or slow a song goes. It's like this.
(Song starts)
(Choo-choo)
(Choo-choo)
Steve: Ooh! Like a train.
(Choo-choo)
(Boom)
Jazzman: (singing) Yeah! Your tempo might be slow! Take your time as you go! Like the train! That's leavin' from the station!
(Choo-choo)
(Wow!)
Jazzman: (singing) Or it might speed up! A little at a time! Now the train's goin' fast! Chug, chug! Chuggin' down the line! There's a ton of choices! However you'll go! It's about fast or slow! When it comes to tempo!
(Choo-choo)
(Yeah!)
(Choo-choo, all right!)
(Choo-choo)
(Choo)
(Song ends)
Steve: Cool. So what is tempo all about? (singing) Cause it's about...
Chuckie: Fast!
Angelica: Slow.
Steve: Fast and slow. Right. (singing) Cause it's about fast and slow! When it comes to tempo! Cool. Let's add some tempo to our song.
Note Man 1: Yeah! Tempo!
Note Man 2: That's my favorite part!
Note Man 3: Gotta have some tempo!
Note Man 1: I love tempo!
Steve: Yeah! Let's pick a tempo for our song.
(Steve plays a tempo)
Steve: No! That's too slow!
Note Man 3: Oh! Almost! Almost!
(Steve plays the right tempo)
Steve: Hah! Cool! I like that one!
Note Man 1: You're a natural!
Steve: (singing) Beep bop bay! Beep bop bay!
Note Man 2: Nice job!
Steve: So, we picked our notes, we have a rhythm, now we have a tempo. Let's sing our song. Ready? (clears throat) (singing) Beep bop bay! Beep bop bay! Beep bop bay! Beep bop bay! Beep bop bay! I like it! I really do. But... But... Maybe it needs a little something else. Excuse us, Jazzman. We still feel like our song needs a little something else.
Jazzman: It surely does, Steve.
Steve: Well... we picked our notes, we have a rhythm, and we chose a tempo.
Jazzman: Yes, but you still need one more thing.
(Song starts)
Jazzman: (singing) Now you've got the pieces! But they don't make a whole! In order to make music, you have got to give it soul!
Steve: Soul?
Jazzman: Yeah. (singing) Reach down deep inside you! And pull up somethin' real! And that's what makes you special! Something you can feel! You hear me?
Steve: Oh, yeah.
Jazzman: (singing) All right!
(Song ends)
Jazzman: Try that, Steve! Reach down deep inside, and give your song some heart and soul.
Steve: Uh... well, if this is gonna be our song, then you need to add your heart and soul too. You ready? Okay. Repeat after me. (clears throat) (singing) Hey-hey!
Phil: (singing) Hey-hey!
Steve: (singing) Shoo-ba-de-ay!
Lil: (singing) Shoo-ba-de-ay!
Steve: (singing) Beep-bop-bay!
Angelica, Lil and Susie: (singing) Beep-bop-bay!
Steve: (singing) Hey-hey!
Tommy, Chuckie and Phil: (singing) Hey-hey!
Steve: We did it! We made up our song!
Jazzman: I knew you could do it.
Steve: Well, I can't say where it comes from, but, when you sing...
Jazzman: (singing) Sing!
Steve: (singing) Sing!
Jazzman: (singing) There it is!
(Song starts)
Jazzman: (singing) Music makes you groove! Makes me happy! Got the groove! When you hear it, if you feel it, the music is in you, get the spirit!
Steve: (singing) Hey-hey!
Jazzman: (singing) Hey-hey!
Steve: (singing) Shoo-ba-de-ay!
Jazzman: (singing) Shoo-ba-de-ay!
Steve: (singing) Beep-bop-bay!
Jazzman: (singing) Beep-bop-bay!
Steve: (singing) Hey-hey!
Jazzman: (singing) Hey-hey! I can't say where it comes from, but when you sing...
Steve: (singing) Sing!
Jazzman: (singing) Sing!
Steve and Jazzman: (singing) There it is!
Jazzman: Wow!
(Music jazz)
Jazzman: (singing) More than the notes! You've got to give something from inside you!
The Rugrats, Steve and Traci: (singing) Something from inside you!
Jazzman: (singing) More than the words! That spirit and soul! Make it yours! Here it comes!
(Music playing)
Jazzman: (singing) Music makes you groove! Makes me happy! Got the groove! When you hear it, if you feel it, the music is in you, got the spirit!
Steve: (singing) Hey-hey!
Jazzman: (singing) Hey-hey!
Steve: (singing) Shoo-ba-de-ay!
Jazzman: (singing) Shoo-ba-de-ay!
Steve: (singing) Beep-bop-bay!
Jazzman: (singing) Beep-bop-bay!
Steve: (singing) Hey-hey!
Jazzman: (singing) Hey-hey! I can't say where it comes from, but when you sing...
Steve: (singing) Sing!
Jazzman: (singing) Sing!
The Rugrats, Steve, Traci, and Jazzman: (singing) There it is!
Jazzman: You know what? (singing) I can't say where it comes from, but when you sing...
Steve: (singing) Sing!
Jazzman: (singing) Sing! There it is!
(Music playing)
Jazzman: Oh! I like myself! Look here! (singing) I can't say where it comes from, but when you sing...
Steve: (singing) Sing!
Jazzman: (singing) Sing! There it is!
(Song ends)
Steve: Bye, Jazzman!
Traci: Bye-bye!
Jazzman: Bye, Steve!
Steve: Thanks!
Traci: Come on!
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats and Steve are back outside)
Steve: Hey! We made up our song! I feel a lot better.
Traci: Let's check it off our list!
Steve: Right, Traci. Let's check this off our list. We made up our song...
The Rugrats and Steve: ...check!
Steve: We still have one more thing left to do.
(Song starts)
Steve: (singing) We still have to play Spike's Clues! We've got to find our last clue and find Traci's partner!
(Song ends)
Stephen: Here?
Marshall: Yeah! I think you're right.
Susie: Maybe this time, we'll find the clue ourselves.
Steve: Good idea, guys. Come on.
Perry: Steve, Steve! There you are!
Tommy: Hi, Perry.
Chuckie: It's you again.
Stephen: Where should I put this chair, Marshall?
Perry: Wait right here. I need to show you something.
Marshall: A little to the right.
Steve: Oh! Well, what do you want to show us, Perry?
Perry: Don't move! Just, let me go get it.
Tiffany: Steve! Come quick!
Angelica: What's wrong?
Sammy: Whoa! Oh no!
Tiffany: Come on! Come on, Steve!
Traci: Hurry!
Steve: I better go see what's going on. Will you wait here and tell Perry where I'm at?
(The Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Steve: Great. Thanks.
(Steve leaves, Perry comes back with his bag of tricks)
Perry: Behold my magic bag of tricks! Now for my first trick, I will... Steve? Steve! Did Steve leave? Steve is so busy. I'll never get to show him any of my magic tricks.
(Perry leaves with his bag of tricks)
Steve: We're really gonna need your help.
Sammy: Whoa!
Steve: We've got a very serious situation over there with Sammy. Will you help us?
(The Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Steve: Great. Hang on, Sammy!
Sammy: (singing) Like a captain on a... Whoa!
(Sammy slips)
Phil: Uh-oh!
Steve: Sammy!
(The Rugrats and Steve run and see Sammy slipping with Tiffany and Traci)
Steve: Are you all right?
Sammy: Steve, I keep slipping! Let me try again.
(Sammy tries again)
Sammy: (singinf) Like a captain on a... Whoa! On a rolling... Whoa!
(Sammy slips again)
Traci: Oh, my!
Sammy: Steve, what if I slip on stage during the music show?
Lil: That's a good question, Sammy.
Steve: (to Sammy) I don't know.
Tiffany: I know! When something goes wrong, don't give up!
(Tiffany winks at Sammy)
Traci: Great idea, Tiffany.
Steve: Yeah! Yeah! When Tiffany couldn't sing, did that stop her?
The Rugrats: No!
Steve: Exactly! She went on and found something else to do. So, when something goes wrong, don't give up.
Tiffany: (singing) Just go on!
Traci: Yeah!
Susie: You can do it, Sammy.
(Sammy puts his sail back up)
Sammy: I could do that.
(Song starts)
Sammy: (singing) If something goes wrong, I won't give up! I'll go on!
(Song ends)
The Rugrats: Yeah!
Steve: All right! Whoo-hoo! Great job, Sammy!
Tiffany: You were great!
Traci: (sighs) Tiffany, I still don't have a partner yet.
Tommy: Aww. Traci doesn't still have a singing partner yet.
Tiffany: Don't worry, Traci. We'll find you a partner. So you can go on, too. As soon as the friends find the third clue.
Traci: Okay.
(Traci and Tiffany leave)
Chuckie: We better find that third clue.
Angelica: Let's go.
Michael: Steve, the neighbors are coming!
Steve: What? The neighbors? Already?
Michael: Yeah! Look!
Neighbors: (talking)
Steve: Oh! The neighbors. Already.
Phil: Well, we have to go find the third clue.
Michael: Guys, you need to collect their tickets.
Lil: Well, we can't do it. We've got to find the third clue.
Steve: Can you do it?
Michael: I can't do it! I've got to practice my jokes!
Steve: Well, somebody's got to do it.
Susie: Somebody's got to collect the tickets while we go look for the clue.
Tommy: But who?
Steve: I know who could do it.
(The Rugrats and Steve see Alicia holding hats in her hair)
Chuckie: Alicia, you don't have to hold those hats anymore!
Alicia: I don't?
Angelica: Nope!
Steve: I've got something else for you to do.
Alicia: You do?
Phil: Yeah!
Steve: It's another job. You're perfect for it.
Lil: Come with us.
Alicia: What kind of job, guys? (clears throat) (singing) La, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Steve: Okay. So here's our idea.
Susie: You know how you're a girl, right?
Alicia: Right.
Steve: Right.
Tommy: And you know how sometimes you hold things, right?
Alicia: Right.
Steve: Right. Well, this is what we were thinking. You could stand by this post, and collect everyone's tickets for the show, and hold them in your hand. What do you think?
Chuckie: You think you can do it?
Alicia: I guess so.
Angelica: Thanks, Alicia.
Phil: Come on. Now we'd better find that third clue. Fast.
(The Rugrats and Steve leave)
(Song starts)
Alicia: (singing sadly) I'm not just a girl... (sighs) I could do something in the world.
Kenny: These things never spare on time.
(The neighbors gives one ticket to Alicia)
Alex: Here you go! One ticket!
Alicia: Enjoy the show.
Steve: Okay. This is it. This is your chance to find a clue.
Lil: Let's go find it.
(The Rugrats and Steve start searching)
Sammy: Hi, guys! Have you found the third clue yet?
Susie: Uh... no. We're still looking!
Stephen: Hey, guys! What's the third clue?
Marshall: Yeah! Have you guys found it yet?
Tommy: No. Actually, we haven't found it yet.
Diane: Hi, guys!
Adam: Hi!
(Diane and Adam show pictures of Spike's pawprint)
Chuckie: (laughs) Right! Still looking!
Diane: Good luck!
Michael: Hey, guys! Did you ever heard about the man who is taking a really long time to find a clue? Oops. Sorry.
Tiffany: Hi, Steve. The kids need to find that clue soon. Because Traci needs a partner real bad.
Steve: We know. We know. We know. We know Traci needs to find a partner for the big show, but... but we can't find the clue.
(Song starts)
Steve: (singing sadly) What if I never find the clue? I'm not as good, and bad as you. I feel like giving up.
(Song ends)
Steve: What should I do?
(The Rugrats come up)
Angelica: Don't give up, Steve. Everybody, hit it!
(The Rugrats sing to Steve)
(Song starts)
The Rugrats: (singing) Don't give up! Just go on!
Steve: (singing) If something goes wrong...
The Rugrats: (singing) Don't give up! Just go on!
Steve: (singing) I just gotta keep on!
The Rugrats: (singing) Don't give up! Just go on!
(Song ends)
Steve: Do you really think we can do it? Do you really think I can find that clue?
Chuckie: Of course!
Lil: I know it!
Tommy: You can do it!
Phil: You can do it, Steve!
Angelica: Don't give up!
Susie: Yeah!
Steve: You're right! I won't give up! I'll go on! I can find that clue! Are you with us?
(Everyone agreeing)
Steve: Come on!
(The Rugrats and Steve crash into boxes and fall)
(Angelica picks Spike out of Angelica's pocket, takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and puts Spike's pawprint on a person. The Rugrats and Steve see something in the box looking surprised)
(Song starts)
Steve: (singing) It's true! Yes! It's true! When things went wrong, you know we didn't give up.
The Rugrats: (singing) No, no!
Steve: (singing) Until we found our... we... we really did it. We found our very first...
(The Rugrats and Steve show the picture of a person with a pawprint on it)
The Rugrats and Steve: (singing) Clue!
(Song ends)
(Angelica takes Spike's pawprint off a picture of a person, puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike and puts Spike in Angelica's pocket)
Tommy: (laughs) Okay! All right!
Chuckie: You know what we need, we need our handy-dandy...
(Chuckie gets the notebook out of Chuckie's pocket)
Tommy, Phil, Lil, Angelica, Susie and Steve: Notebook.
Chuckie: Notebook. Right. Because, we found the third clue, and you got to draw clues in the notebook. (laughs) All right. Our third clue is... is a person. (laughs)
(Chuckie opens the notebook)
Chuckie: Ooh. A person. Hey. We have all three clues.
(Chuckie closes the notebook)
Phil: That means, we just have to figure out who should be Traci's singing partner and the music show can go on!
Lil: We're ready to sit in our...
Tommy: Thinking chair.
Lil: Thinking chair. Let's go.
(The Rugrats run faster to the thinking chair)
George: Boy, I hope we get to hear Michael.
Tammy: (laughs)
George: Hi, guys!
Tommy: Oh, hey. You didn't know we were gonna be here.
Donna: Hi, guys!
Ellen: Hi, guys!
Tommy: Oh, hi! (laughs), How are you doing?
Caitlin: I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!
Alicia: Thanks.
Victoria: When's the show starting?
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats and Spike are back at Steve's house and sit in the thinking chair)
Tommy: Okay. Now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
Chuckie: So, we're trying to figure out who should be Traci's singing partner. And our clues are... a microphone... a dress... and... a person.
Phil: So... Hey! We have a microphone! Maybe it's us! Wait. We don't have a microphone, or we're not a person.
Lil: Well, this person is a girl, and has a dress. Yeah. But then what about a microphone?
Angelica: Oh! Maybe a microphone was on the person's hand.
Susie: Who do we know who is a person, with a dress, and holds a microphone?
Tommy: Alicia.
Susie: Alicia. Yeah! Alicia is a person with her dress and she holds a microphone.
Angelica: Spike? (imitates as Spike) Yes, guys? (as herself) Is that who Traci wanted to be her partner? Alicia? (imitates as Spike) Yes! Alicia!
Tommy: We just figured out Spike's Clues!
The Rugrats: Yeah!
(Steve and Traci open the front door, enter Steve's house and close the front door)
Traci: Let's check this off our list!
Steve: Ooh! Right, Traci. Now we get to check this off our list.
(Song starts)
Steve: We... played Spike's Clues and figured out who should be Traci's singing partner in the big music show...
The Rugrats and Steve: Check!
(Song ends)
Chuckie: Hey, look at that.
Steve: We finished everything on our list! That means The Big Music Show can go on! Hey! Alicia! Guess what? We figured... out the... Alicia?
Phil: Where is she?
Steve: Oh. Oh, she's collecting tickets.
Lil: Well, let's go tell Alicia that Traci wants to be her partner in The Big Music Show!
Angelica: Come on!
(The Rugrats, Spike, Steve and Traci come outside)
Susie: Hey! Everybody! Guess what? We found the third clue!
Marshall: Wow!
Tiffany, Sammy, Michael, Stephen, and Marshall: You did?
Tommy: Yeah! And we figured out Spike's Clues and everything.
Tiffany, Sammy, Michael, Stephen, and Marshall: Who is it?
Chuckie: It's Alicia.
Tiffany, Sammy, Michael, Stephen, and Marshall: Oh, wow! (cheering)
Steve: Let's go tell her.
Marshall: Yeah, let's go!
Traci: Come on!
Stephen: I can't believe it!
Steve: She's gonna be so excited!
Michael: Yeah! Alicia!
Everyone: (Talking excitedly)
(But suddenly, Alicia is missing)
Steve: Wait a minute.
Angelica: Where's Alicia?
Michael: Where'd she go?
Tiffany: Wasn't she right here?
Steve: Alicia... is missing?
Traci: What?
The Rugrats, Traci, Tiffany, Sammy, Michael, Stephen, and Marshall: (glamoring)
Tiffany: We've got to find her!
Steve: Yeah! Um... we better split up and look for Alicia.
Tiffany: Yeah!
Michael: Yeah! I'll look in the front yard.
Stephen: We'll look by the sand table.
Marshall: And the slide.
Tiffany: We'll look in the bedroom.
Sammy: And the bathroom.
Michael: Yeah!
Marshall: That's a great idea!
Steve: Great! Uh, Traci and I will go check behind the stage. And why don't you...
Perry: Steve! There you are! Are you ready to see my trick now?
Steve: Um, Perry, we can't look at your trick right now. Alicia is missing and we've got to find her right away. Will you help us?
Perry: Oh. If we find Alicia, then can you look at my trick?
Steve: Of course.
Perry: Okay.
Steve: Okay. Great. Can you go with Perry and check in the backyard?
(The Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Steve: Great. All right, everyone! Let's meet back here in a few minutes.
Traci: Come on!
Sammy: Come on!
Tiffany: Let's go!
Perry: Come on! Let's go find Alicia. When we find Alicia, then I can show Steve my magic trick. Are you looking? Remember to yell out if you see her. Come on.
(Perry goes through the fence and under the chairs)
Perry: Alicia! I've got to find you so I can show Steve my magic trick.
(Perry goes through the bushes)
Perry: Do you see her yet? Where are you, Alicia?
(Alicia is seen feeling sad holding too much tickets in her hands all alone)
Phil: Alicia.
Perry: What?
Lil: It's Alicia.
Perry: Alicia!
Alicia: (sighs)
Perry: Hey, Alicia. Why are you over here all alone?
Alicia: Hi, Perry. I'm sad, because I'm not gonna sing in the show. I never told Steve that I wanted to.
Perry: I know how you feel. Steve never got to see any of my magic tricks.
(Song starts)
Alicia: (singing sadly) I could sing, I know I could. I'm more than a girl, I really should. I want to be in the show, (sighs) But... they'll never know.
(Song ends)
Alicia: (sighs)
Perry: I really like your singing, Alicia.
Alicia: You do? Really? Do you like my singing, too? Really? Do you think I should tell Steve I want to sing in the show? All right. This time, I'm really gonna do it. I'm going to tell Steve I want to sing in the show.
Perry: Alicia. Wait. I have a great idea for a magic trick. I'll make you appear, and then everyone will hear you sing your song.
Alicia: Oh, okay.
Perry: Quick! Hide under my cape.
(Alicia hides under the cape)
(Song starts)
Alicia: (singing) I'm gonna sing! I'm gonna ask!
Perry: Steve is gonna see my magic at last. Okay. I need you to yell, Everyone! Come here! Go ahead, yell.
Perry and The Rugrats: Everyone, come here!
Alicia: Louder!
Perry and The Rugrats: EVERYONE, COME HERE!
Marshall: Who's calling?
Sammy: Why is somebody calling?
Traci: Who's that?
Steve: Did you call us? What's going on?
Perry: Steve, watch this! You're gonna see my best trick ever! Trust me! If you want to see this trick, say the magic words! Perry-Pocus, Ocus-Crocus!
The Rugrats, Steve, Traci, Tiffany, Sammy, Michael, Stephen, and Marshall: Perry-Pocus, Ocus-Crocus!

(Song ends)
Steve: Alicia! That's why we were looking for you.
Tommy: Traci wants you to be her singing partner.
(Traci and Alicia hugging)

(Song starts)
Alicia: (singing) I'm so glad that I asked! Now I get to join the cast!
(Song ends)
Perry: Pretty neat trick. Huh, Steve?
Steve: Perry, that was a fantastic trick. Now that we have Alicia, we can go on with the big music show.
Traci: Yay!
(Perry is confused)
Perry: Music show? You mean magic show?
Marshall: No!
Traci, Tiffany, Sammy, Alicia, Michael, Stephen, and Marshall: It's a music show!

## Transcript

(The Rugrats open the front door, enter Sam's house and close the front door)
Sam: Oh, hi.
Tommy: Hi, Sam.
Sam: Come on in. It's so good to see you. I was just gonna...
Tommy: (laughs)
Sam: What's so funny?
The Rugrats: The shoe!
Sam: Oh, the shoe! (laughs) Mean it's because I'm wearing a shoe on my head, right? (laughs) Silly me. Everyone knows that shoes belong on your ear. And I was trying to make you laugh. Hey. What do you say we try to make Fred laugh? Yeah. Can you make a good funny face? Really? Let's see.
(The Rugrats make a good funny face)
Sam: (laughs) Yeah! That'll work. Come on. Hold on to that face. Let's go.
Fred: (hums)
Sam: Hey, Fred. We're gonna try to make you laugh.
Fred: Ooh!
(Sam puts a shoe on his head)
Sam: I'm... Sneaker Head Guy!
Fred: Woah!
Sam: Sneaker Head Guy.
Fred: Hmm...
Sam: He's gonna laugh. Make your funny face.
(The Rugrats show a good face to Fred)
Fred: (laughs)
Sam: Great job! You're pretty silly. Okay, Fred. We're gonna make you laugh again.
Fred: Oh, no, no, no!
Sam: Oh, no? Well, let's see what I have in my sack of silly stuff. Oh!
(Sam pulls out a wacky wild wig)
Sam: Wacky wild wig! Wacky wild wig! Wacky-wacky-wacky!
Fred: Um... no.
Sam: No? Oh.
(Angelica picks Spike out of Angelica's pocket)
Angelica: Well, Spike, what makes Fred laugh? (imitates as Spike) Hmm, I know. You can play my game, Spike's Clues, to figure this out.
(Angelica takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike)
Angelica: Oh! We'll play Spike's Clues to figure out what makes Fred laugh. It'll be a riot.
Chuckie: So remember, Spike's pawprints will be on the clues: Spike's Clues.
(Angelica puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
(Fade to Phil and Lil pick sock puppets out of Phil and Lil's pocket and put sock puppets in their hands)
Phil and Lil: (imitate as Sock Puppet) (laughs) Oy! (clears throats) Bye.
Phil: Hey. Guess who we found in our sack of silly stuff. (imitates as Sock Puppet) Sock Puppet! It's so good to see you again!
Lil: You know, I can tell we're really gonna need your help today trying to figure out what makes Fred Laugh. Will you help us?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Lil: (imitates as Sock Puppet) Oh, you will? Great! He said he'll help! Let's go!
Angelica: Oh! (laughs)
(Song starts)
Phil: (imitates as Sock Puppet) (singing) We are looking for clues, now!
Lil: (imitates as Sock Puppet) (singing) This is the part where we sing of finding clues!
Phil and Lil: (imitate as Sock Puppet) (singing) Finding them and... Oh, run! Be free!
(Song ends)
Phil: We don't see any clues. Do you? (imitates as Sock Puppet) I don't see any...
(Lil picks up a ball and it hits Sock Puppet)
Phil: (imitates as Sock Puppet) Oh, dear.
(Phil as Sock Puppet picks up the ball)
(Angelica takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a ball)
Susie: Oh! There is a clue. Right there on this...
Lil: (imitates as Sock Puppet) Ball!
Susie: Right! A ball.
(Angelica puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Tommy: You know what we need. Our handy-dandy...
(Tommy gets the notebook out of Tommy's pocket)
Susie: Notebook.
Phil and Lil: (imitate as Sock Puppet) Notebook!
Tommy: Notebook. Right.
Phil: (imitates as Sock Puppet) Will you please make me some arms? (as himself) (laughs) Okay, Sock Puppet. It's good to see you again, but we gotta draw the clue.
Phil and Lil: (imitate as Sock Puppet) I just got here! (as themselves) We'll see you later.
Lil: (imitates as Sock Puppet) Okay, bye-bye. (as herself, laughs) We love that guy.
Tommy: So, a ball.
(Tommy opens the notebook)
Tommy: To draw this ball, we make a circle... and then a curved line here... and here. There, a ball.
Chuckie: So, we're trying to figure out what makes Fred laugh. And our first clue is a ball.
Phil: So what could make Fred laugh with a ball? Do you know? Maybe. But, I think we should find two more clues.
(Tommy closes the notebook, puts the notebook in Tommy's pocket, Angelica gives the ball to Tommy and Tommy puts the ball in Tommy's pocket)
Tim and Duncan: (laughing)
Sam: Hey. That's Tim and Duncan. Let's go.
(The Rugrats, Spike, Fred and Sam walk outside)
Tim and Duncan: (laughing)
Sam: Hey, Tim and Duncan. What's so funny?
Tim: We think the mouse is going to pop up right here by this bush.
Sam: The mouse?
(The mouse pops up)
Duncan: That way!
(The mouse hides then pops up again)
Sam: That way!
(The mouse pops out again)
Duncan: Sam, he keeps fooling us!
Sam: Now wait a second. This mouse is pretty smart. Maybe, just maybe, there's a pattern to where he's popping up.
Tim and Duncan: A pattern?
Sam: Yeah. You know? A method to this mouse's madness. Do you want to help us figure out where the mouse is gonna pop up next?
(The Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Sam: Great. So, first, the mouse popped up next to... the flowers.
Duncan: Then he popped up next to this car.
Tim: And then... then he popped up next to my shirt.
Sam: So, what's the same as the flowers, the toy car, and Tim's shirt? Are they all the same size?
Lil: No.
Sam: Well, are they all the same color?
Angelica: Yes! Yellow.
Sam: Right. The flowers, the toy car, and Tim's shirt are all yellow. So, if the mouse is popping up next to yellow things each time, where do you think he'll pop up next? Well, what else is yellow?
Susie: That ball.
Sam: The ball is the only yellow thing left.
(The Rugrats, Sam, Tim, and Duncan check behind the ball)
(The mouse pops up)
Tim: We found you! We found you!
Sam: Good job.
(The mouse hides again)
Sam: Uh-oh! Here we go again. Keep your eyes out for where he pops out.
(The mouse pops up next to the pool)
Tim: That way!
(The mouse pops up next to the trash can lid)
Sam: That way!
(The mouse pops up next to the tire)
Duncan: Sam, he's fooled us again.
Sam: Okay, team. Let's regroup. First, the mouse popped up next to... the pool.
Duncan: And then, he popped up next to this trash can lid.
Tim: And then, he popped up next to this tire.
Sam: So, what's the same about the pool, the trash can lid, and the tire?
Tommy: Well, they're not the same color like last time.
Sam: Are they the same shape?
Chuckie: Yes! Circles!
Sam: Yeah! The pool, the trash can lid, and the tire are all circles. So, if the mouse is popping up next to circle shapes each time, where do you think he'll pop up next? Well, what else is a circle?
Phil: That hoop.
Sam: Oh, yeah. The hoop is the only circle left. Let's mouse it.
(The Rugrats, Sam, Tim, and Duncan check that hoop)
(The mouse pops up)
Tim and Duncan: We found you again!
Sam: Way to go! You're pretty sneaky, are you?
(The mouse hides again)
Sam: You won't fool us this time, mouse.
(The mouse pops up next to the toy plane)
Duncan: That way!
(The mouse pops up next to the bird)
Sam: That way!
(The mouse pops up next to the kite)
Sam: Okay. So, first, the mouse popped up next to the toy plane.
Duncan: And then he popped up next to this bird.
Tim: Then he popped up next to this kite.
Lil: Well, these things aren't the same color or the same shape.
Sam: So, what do you think? What's the same about the toy plane, the bird, and the kite?
Angelica: They all fly.
Sam: Yeah! The toy plane, the bird, and the kite all fly. So if the mouse is popping up next to things that fly each time, where do you think he'll pop up next? What else flies?
Susie: That helicopter.
Sam: The helicopter.
(The Rugrats, Sam, Tim, and Duncan check the helicopter)
Sam: This helicopter is the only flying thing left.
(The mouse pops up)
Tim and Duncan: Gotcha!
Sam and The Rugrats: (laughing)
Sam: Hey. Pretty good work. Don't you think, mouse?
Tim and Duncan: Thanks for your help?
Sam: Well, looks like the mouse finally met his match. Good job.
(Angelica picks Spike out of Angelica's pocket)
Angelica: (imitates as Spike) Come on, guys! (as herself) Right. We still have to find two more clues.
Sam: See you later, Tim, Duncan, mouse. The mouse won't fool us anymore.
(Angelica takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a ball)
Tommy: Oh! This ball is our second clue.
(Angelica puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Chuckie: You know where we need to write this clue. Our handy-dandy...
(Chuckie gets the notebook out of Chuckie's pocket)
Angelica: Notebook.
Chuckie: Notebook. Right. So, a ball.
(Chuckie opens the notebook)
Chuckie: We can draw this ball by making a circle. There, a ball.
Phil: So, we're trying to figure out what makes Fred laugh. And... What was our first clue?
Lil: A ball.
Phil: A ball. Really? And now our second clue is a ball.
Lil: Well, that's already pretty funny. (laughs) But, seriously. What could make Fred laugh with a ball and a ball? Do you know? Perhaps. But, I think we should find our last clue.
(Chuckie closes the notebook, puts the notebook in Chuckie's pocket, Angelica gives the ball to Chuckie and Chuckie puts the ball in Chuckie's pocket)
(Mailman's truck arrives offscreen)
Sam: The mail's here! We're gonna try to make Mailman laugh.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats, Spike, Fred and Sam are back at Sam's house)
(Sam sits down in the thinking chair with The Rugrats and Mailman enters the house)
(Sam looks at the viewers and smile)
(Sam puts on his funny glasses)
(Sam and Mailman look at each other and the Rugrats with their funny glasses)
The Rugrats, Fred, Sam and Mailman: (laughing)
Sam: Oh, that's funny! (laughs)
Mailman: Here's your letter, Sam!
(Mailman gets the letter to Sam)
Sam: Oh! Thanks, Mailman!
(Mailman exits the house)
Sam: We just got a letter. I wonder who it's from. (laughs) It's upside down!
(Sam opens the letter)
Sam: Oh, look! It's a letter from some of our funniest friends.
(Fade to black, and fade to all friends laughing montage in 30 seconds)
Friends: Silly, silly, silly, silly, silly, silly, silly...
(Fade to black, and fade to Angelica holds the letter sitting down in the thinking chair with Fred, the other Rugrats and Spike)
Angelica: Bye.
(Angelica closes the letter)
Sam: A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
(Fred, The Rugrats and Spike run away to the right)
Sam: (laughs) I'm just kidding. I'm not really Angelica. I'm Sam. Hi. Oh. This is observed.
(Cut to Fred, the other Rugrats and Spike are in the bedroom)
Fred: (humming)
Phil: (imitates as Sock Puppet) Hey, guys! I think you better get up here.
Fred: Huh?
Lil: (imitates as Sock Puppet) Looks like Spike spilled the sack of silly stuff. Bye!
Fred: Come on.
(Fred leaves the bedroom)
Sam: Hey! Fred just left from the house. Let's go, too.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats, Spike, Fred and Sam are in Silly Town)
Sam: This must be Silly Town! Do you see anything silly about Silly Town? Yeah. Hey. It's raining inside that Skunk's umbrella.
(Thunder sounds)
Sam: Now that's pretty silly.
(Billy Chicken appears)
Sam: Hello?
Billy Chicken: (costume) Hello, my friends! I'm Billy Chicken, mayor of this Silly Town.
Sam: Well, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Mayor Billy Chicken. Did you see that soaking skunk?
Billy Chicken: (costume) Ah, yes. That skunk's umbrella, it just won the many mixed up wonders of Silly Town. Come along. I'll give you the grand tour.
Sam: Great! I love silly stuff. Do you want to find all the mixed up things in Silly Town?
(The Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Sam: Great. Let's go.
Billy Chicken: (costume) Walk this way.
(They walk to the construction site)
Billy Chicken: (costume) This is our construction site. We're building a new school.
Sam: Hmm, wonder if there's anything mixed up here.
(The wacky worker weasel uses a banana as a hammer)
Sam: Does this look normal to you? Well, what's mixed up here?
Susie: She's using a banana.
Sam: Oh, yeah. This wacky worker weasel is pounding in a nail with a banana. Question. Why not a hammer?
Wacky Worker Weasel: (costume) I think I'm going bananas.
Sam: I really admire your work.
Billy Chicken: (costume) She's not the only wacky worker around here. Take a look.
Sam: Do you see any wacky workers?
(Wacky worker bear uses a carrot)
(Bulldozer carries a tennis ball)
Sam: Wow.
Billy Chicken: And here, we're at the center of town. Sorry. It's a little loud.
Sam: Oh! That's okay. Hey. I wonder what's mixed up here. Can you figure out what's mixed up here?
(The truck neighing)
Tommy: The truck sounds like a horse.
Sam: A truck that sounds like a horse?
(The truck neighing)
Sam: (laughs) Oh, my! Wow. Did you hear that?
Billy Chicken: (costume) If you listen closely, there are many silly sounds around here.
Sam: Do you hear any other silly sounds?
(Silly sounds)
(They walk to the playground)
Billy Chicken: (costume) Ah! Our famous park. Hello, everyone!
Sam: Hello!
(The giraffe slides backwards)
Sam: Do you see what's mixed up about this?
(The giraffe slides backwards)
Chuckie: It's going the wrong way.
Phil: Backways.
Sam: The wrong way?
(The giraffe slides backwards)
Sam: Oh, yeah. This giraffe is sliding backwards up the slide. (laughs) How do you that?
Billy Chicken: (costume) What do you think of backwards park?
Sam: Well, I think it's a very backwards way of life. Hey. Do you notice any backwards things?
(The mother hippo walking backwards)
(The bird flying backwards)
Sam: Hey, thanks for showing me around Silly Town.
Billy Chicken: (costume) Don't be silly.
Sam: Oh! I'm not silly. You're silly... Billy.
(Billy Chicken's egg appears)
Billy Chicken: Oh! I left my egg room. Gotta scramble! Good day!
(Billy Chicken leaves)
Lil: Bye.
Angelica: Hey. We better get back to our house and find our last clue. Come on.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats, Spike, Fred and Sam are back at Sam's house in the bedroom)
Sam: You know, I love Silly Town as much as the next man. But, right now, it's very nice to be home where everything is just normal.
Susie: (as french accent) Hmm, tick-tock. Tick-tock. (as normal accent) You said it, Ticktock.
Sam: Everybody's a comedian.
(Angelica takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a ball)
Tommy: Oh! There is a clue. Right there. On that... ball.
Chuckie: Another ball. Very silly.
(Angelica puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Phil: You know where we need to write this silly clue. Our handy-dandy...
(Phil and Lil get two notebooks out of Phil and Lil's pocket)
Lil: ...notebook.
Phil: Okay.
Lil: A ball.
(Phil and Lil open two notebooks)
Phil: So, we can draw a circle...
Lil: ...and then two straight lines, like this.
Phil: Hmm, another ball.
Lil: And we have all three clues.
(Phil and Lil close two notebooks)
(Angelica gives the ball to Susie and Susie puts the ball in Susie's pocket)
Angelica: All three clues. We're ready to sit in our...
Tommy: Thinking chair.
Angelica: Thinking chair. Let's go.
(The Rugrats, Spike, Fred and Sam sit down in the thinking chair)
Susie: Okay. Now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
Tommy: You will help us, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Tommy: Great.
Chuckie: So, we're trying to figure out what makes Fred laugh. And our clues are... a ball... a ball... and a ball.
Phil: So, what could make Fred laugh with a ball, a ball, and a ball? Do you know?
Lil: Well, that's three balls. What could we do with three balls?
Angelica: We could roll them, we could kick them, ooh! We could throw them.
Susie: Yeah. We could throw them up in the air. And then what would we be doing?
Tommy: Juggling.
Susie: Juggling! Yeah! That's it!
Tommy: With a ball...
(Tommy picks the ball out of Tommy's pocket and catches a ball to Sam)
Chuckie: ...a ball...
(Chuckie picks the ball out of Chuckie's pocket and catches a ball to Sam)
Susie: ....and a ball.
(Susie picks the ball out of Susie's pocket and catches a ball to Sam)
Tommy: We just figured out Spike's Clues.
Sam: Come on, Fred. Get ready to laugh.
Fred: Come on, Sam!
Sam: Okay, Fred. Juggling three balls in one time. Here we go. Ready.
Tim and Duncan: Hi, Sam!
Sam: Oh, hi, Tim, Duncan, mouse. Hey! Remember how we helped Tim and Duncan predict the mouse's pop up places?
Fred: Wow.
Sam: (clears throat) All right, Fred. One more time.
Billy Chicken: (costume) Keep juggling, my friends.
Sam: Hi, there. Hey. Remember when mayor Billy Chicken showed us around Silly Town, and we found all those mixed up things?
Fred: Ooh.
Sam: Okay. Nothing's gonna stop me now, Fred. Juggling three balls in one time.
(Sam juggles)
Sam: Oh, yeah. There we go. This is... this is going very well. Except, I'm getting a little bit hungry. I think we'll just eat this big red ball. Oh yeah. Here we go. This is gonna be... Mmm! Mm! That's really good!
Fred: (laughs)
Sam: Hey. Is he laughing? He is. Fred is laughing. We did it!
(Sam is done juggling)
Fred: (laughs) Thanks for making me laugh!
Sam: (laughs) Thank you for all your help today.
Chuckie: You're welcome, Sam.
Fred: (laughs)
Phil and Lil: (imitate as Sock Puppet) Bye-bye!
Sam: See you later! Bye!
Phil: (imitates as Sock Puppet) Take care! Bye-bye! Ooh! What are you wearing?
Lil: (imitates as Sock Puppet) Ooh, that is pretty silly. I like your hat.
(The Rugrats and Spike open the front door, exit Sam's house and close the front door)
The end.

## Transcript

Tommy: You are now entering the spooky house.
(The Rugrats walk to the spooky house and open the front door)
Tommy: (vampire laughing)
Chuckie: (howling)
Phil and Lil: (squeaking)
Angelica: Princess Angelica, at your service.
Susie: I'm an angel.
(The Rugrats enter the spooky house, and close the front door)
Tommy: (laughs) No, see. It's our friends.
Chuckie: We didn't scare you, did we? No.
Phil: Oh! See? We were all dressed up for the big costume party.
Lil: Hey. What did we dress up as?
Tommy: A vampire.
Chuckie: A werewolf.
Phil and Lil: Bats.
Angelica: A princess.
Susie: An angel.
Lil: Oh, that is so good. (laughs) How did you think of that?
Angelica: Come on. Billy can't wait to show you his costume. She's in her room with Ruby.
(The Rugrats walk to the bedroom)
Susie: Hey! Billy! Ruby! We can't wait to see that costume.
Tommy: Billy? Ruby? Is that you?
Billy: Yep! It's us!
Ruby: Hi!
Chuckie: Great. Let's see those costumes.
Billy: Friends, it's a hint. Try to figure out what I'm dressed up as.
Phil: Oh. Oh, it's a little hint. Billy wants us to figure out what he's dressed up as. You will help us figure this out, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Phil: Great. So, how should we begin?
Lil: You know, maybe we should take a closer look and describe what we see.
(The Rugrats sit on the floor)
Angelica: Okay. So, what do we see here?
(Billy has a fish mask on)
Susie: Good observation. Well, let's think about this. What do you think Billy's costume could be?
Tommy: Great idea. Let's test it and see.
Chuckie: Hey, Billy. What are you dressed as?
Billy: I'll give you another hint.
(Billy shows his fish's tail)
Phil: It's another hint. Okay. Well, now that we can see more of his costume, let's rethink our idea.
Lil: So, what could Billy be dressed as that has a tail like that?
Phil: A fish.
Lil: A fish? A fish! That is definitely a possibility.
Angelica: Let's test it out.
Susie: Hey, Billy. Are you dressed as a fish?
Billy: Yes! I'm a fish! Ta-da!
Tommy: Yeah! That's it! Great job.
Billy: Okay, Ruby. It's your turn. Let's see.
(Ruby isn't coming out)
Ruby: Psst! What's my costume?
Billy: Ruby? Where's your costume?
Ruby: I think I'm having some trouble on what I should wear.
Billy: Oh! Are you having trouble deciding on what to wear?
Ruby: Yeah.
Billy: Oh, no!
(Tommy picks Spike out of Tommy's pocket)
Tommy: Well, Spike, what could Ruby wear to the costume party? (imitates as Spike) Hmm, I know. You can play my halloween game, Spike's Clues, to figure this out.
(Tommy takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike)
Chuckie: Spike has an idea. We'll play Spike's Clues to figure out what Ruby could wear to the costume party. Then we can all get in our costumes.
Phil: So remember, Spike's pawprints will be on the clues: Spike's Clues.
(Tommy puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Lil: You know, I can tell we're really gonna need your help today trying to figure out what costume Ruby could wear to the party. You will help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Lil: Great.
(Doorbell rings)
Angelica: Ooh. More guests for the costume party.
(The Rugrats put on their costumes as they walk to the door. Something appears from the doggy door)
Susie: What could this be?
(Susie opens the front door to see Henry as a king)
Tommy: What is that?
Angelica: A king.
Tommy: Oh, exactly. A king. Well, who could that be in that king costume?
Chuckie: I have an idea. Let's... observe.
Tommy: Observation commencing! (vampire laughing) Greetings, King.
Henry: Your majesty! Hello, vampire, werewolf, bats, princess, and angel!
Phil: Who do you think could be in that costume?
Henry: Me, Henry.
Lil: You think? Well, let's test our idea and see.
Susie: (in an angel tone) Are you the being they call Henry?
Henry: Yep! It's me! See?
Tommy: Hah! Tested. It's definitely Henry.
Henry: Let's party!
Chuckie: Let's go see what he's up to. And do not forget to keep an eye stock out for Spike's Clues! (howling)
(The Rugrats start walking in their costumes)
(Tommy takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on the picture of footprints)
Phil: (saueaking) Four pawprinted object spotted! (laughs) This is fun.
Lil: Oh. These prints are our first clue. We have our first clue.
(Tommy puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Angelica: Now we need our handy-dandy...
(Angelica gets the notebook in Angelica's pocket)
Tommy: Notebook.
Angelica: Notebook. Right. Okay.
(Angelica opens the notebook)
Angelica: So, first we draw a circle and color it in for the paw... and then some little circles for the toes like this. There, little prints.
Susie: So, we're trying to figure out what Ruby could wear to the costume party with these prints.
Tommy: Do you know? Yeah. Maybe. But I think we better find two more clues.
(Angelica closes the notebook and puts in Angelica's pocket)
Billy and Ruby: Kids! Kids!
Henry: Kids! We need a judge for our monster toss.
Chuckie: We love the monster toss.
Phil: Will you judge with us?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Phil: Great.
Lil: So, which cauldron has more monster bags in it? Let's observe.
Angelica: Okay. Now that we've had a closer look, let's think about this.
Susie: So, which cauldron has more monster bags?
Tommy: That one.
Susie: You think so?
Tommy: Well, let's test our idea and see.
(Billy and Ruby knocked on cauldron and monster bags fall down)
The Rugrats, Billy, and Ruby: One, two, three, four.
Chuckie: Four monster bags in cauldron number one. And...
The Rugrats, Billy, and Ruby: One, two, three, four, five, six.
Chuckie: Six monster bags in cauldron number two.
Phil: So, which cauldron has more monster bags?
Lil: That one.
Phil: Yeah! Cauldron number two. Because it has six monster bags and the other only has four.
Lil: You are so good figuring things out.
(Billy and Ruby pick up monster bags in cauldrons)
Angelica: Are you cleaning up?
Ruby: Yeah! Good job!
(Tommy takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on these whiskers)
Susie: Oh! Oh, it is. It's a clue.
Tommy: There's a clue on these... whiskers.
(Tommy puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Chuckie: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Chuckie gets the notebook out of Chuckie's pocket)
Phil and Lil: Notebook.
Chuckie: Notebook. Right. So, whiskers are our second clue.
(Chuckie opens the notebook)
Chuckie: So, we'll draw three lines that come together... and then three more lines on the other side. There, whiskers.
Phil: So, what could Ruby wear to the costume party with pawprints and whiskers? Maybe. We better find our last Spike's clue just to be sure.
(Chuckie closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Chuckie's pocket)
Billy: Guys!
Ruby: Come here!
Lil: More guests.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk to the front door and open it to see Skeleton. Skeleton is wearing a dress)
Angelica: Oh, look. It's a skeleton.
Susie: Oh. We forgot how sensitive a skeleton could be.
Tommy: Hiya, Skeleton.
Skeleton: (costume) Oh! Hi, guys. Do you like my costume? I'm a dress.
Chuckie: Oh. You know, we have to say, that is the best dress costume we've ever saw.
Skeleton: (costume) Guys, I have a story to tell you. Do you want to hear it?
Phil: Sure!
Billy: Great!
Ruby: Let's go!
(Billy and Ruby exit the spooky house)
Lil: Let's go, too.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats are in the haunted house)
Skeleton: (costume) Well, a long time ago, a night just like this one, there was a Oogla-Boogla in my house. Let's find her.
Angelica: Okay. Uh... You will go with us, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Billy: Great.
Skeleton: (costume) Well, this Oogla-Boogla always left paper to directions for people who wanted to find her. And there's one right there.
Susie: If... Oogla-Boogla, you want to find, turn around and walk behind.
Ruby: Ooh!
Billy: Let's go.
Tommy: In this hall, it is your chore to open up the tallest door.
Chuckie: Oh. Okay. So these directions say we need to open up the tallest door.
Phil: First, let's observe.
Lil: Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Okay. Now we better think about it.
Angelica: Which door do you think is the tallest?
Susie: Okay. Well, let's test it and see.
Tommy: Okay. This door comes from the top of my head, this door comes up to my eyes, this door comes up to my mouth, and this one comes up to my forehead.
Ruby: All right.
Chuckie: Now that we've got information, let's rethink it.
Billy: Which door do you think is the tallest?
Tommy: That one.
Phil: Good observation. That door is definitely the tallest.
(The tallest door opens)
The Rugrats, Billy, and Ruby: (gasping)
Lil: Oogla-Boogla?
Ruby: What does it say?
Angelica: Go through this door, you won't be bored, Oogla-Boogla... will be the reward.
Billy: Come on, everybody!
Susie: If... Oogla-Boogla, you're trying to find, the staircase with more steps you need to climb.
Tommy: Okay. Well, how can we tell which staircase has more steps?
Billy: Hey. We need to observe.
Tommy: Observe. Good thinking. Okay.
Chuckie: So, let's think about this. Which staircase do you think has more steps?
Phil: Okay. Well, let's test our idea and see.
Lil: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. This staircase doesn't have any more steps. But this one keeps going. Nine, ten, eleven.
Ruby: So which staircase had more steps?
Lil: That one.
Angelica: Right! That one. Because that one only had eight. And this one has eleven. Eleven is more than eight.
Susie: So, we need to climb this spooky staircase.
(They climb the spooky staircase)
Billy: Hey. There's another piece of paper.
Ruby: What does it say?
Tommy: Once you go behind the curtain, Oogla-Boogla... is nearby for certain.
Billy: Let's go.
Chuckie: Look high, look low... the room with the smaller number of black tiles is where you should go.
Phil: Okay. Let's observe again. Now, let's think about this. Which room do you think has the smaller number of black tiles?
Ruby: Hey. Let's test it out and see.
Lil: One, two, three, four, five.
(Skeleton moves the carpet)
Lil: Six, seven, eight, nine. Nine black tiles in there. And one, two, three, four, five...
(Casper moves the carpet)
Lil: Six, seven. Seven black tiles in there.
Angelica: So, which room has the smaller number of black tiles?
Tommy: That one.
Angelica: Oh. Right. That one. Because seven black tiles is less than nine black tiles.
Billy: We need to go in there.
Oogla-Boogla: (costume) (singing) Oogla-Boogla, mm-hmm! Oogla-Boogla, mm-hmm! Oogla-Boogla, mm-hmm!
Susie: Well, it sounds like the Oogla-Boogla... is right over here.
Tommy: Are you sure you want to see this Oogla-Boogla?
Chuckie: Okay. We'll go with you.
Oogla-Boogla: (costume) Well, there you are. I sent Skeleton to get you.
Billy: Are you the Oogla-Boogla?
Ruby: It's the Oogla-Boogla!
Oogla-Boogla: (costume) (laughs)
Phil: We weren't scared at all.
Lil: Were you?
Oogla-Boogla: (costume) I made some Oogla-Boogla treats for Bill's party. These are for you.
(Song starts)
The Rugrats, Billy, Ruby, Skeleton, and Oogla-Boogla: (singing) Oogla-Boogla, mm-hmm!
Angelica: Thank you very much!
The Rugrats, Billy, Ruby, Skeleton, and Oogla-Boogla: (singing) Oogla-Boogla, mm-hmm! Oogla-Boogla, mm-hmm! Oogla-Boog...
(Song stops)
(Tommy makes a squeaking sound)
(Tommy takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint and it pretends to be squeaking)
Susie: Oh! Oh, it's a clue. And it's this... (squeaking sound) ...squeak sound.
(Tommy puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike and puts Spike in Tommy's pocket)
Tommy: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Tommy gets the notebook in Tommy's pocket)
Susie: Notebook.
Tommy: Notebook. Right. Okay. We...
(Tommy opens the notebook)
Tommy: We can draw some little lines here to help us remember this squeak sound.
Chuckie: Hey. That was our third clue.
(Tommy closes the notebook)
Phil: You know what that means? We're ready to sit in our...
Lil: Thinking chair.
Phil: Thinking chair. Let's go.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats, Spike, Billy and Ruby and Spike are back in the spooky house and sit in the thinking chair)
Lil: Okay. Now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
Angelica: So, we're trying to figure out what Ruby could wear to the costume party.
(Tommy, Chuckie and Angelica open three notebooks)
Susie: Let's observe.
Angelica: Our first clue is these prints.
Tommy: Let's think. Lots of animals make prints. Maybe Ruby could be a rhinoceros.
Chuckie: Our second clue is these whiskers.
Phil: So, do you think a rhinoceros costume is what Ruby could wear with these prints and these whiskers? No. You're right. Because a rhinoceros doesn't have whiskers.
Lil: Okay. Let's rethink.
Angelica: Let's see. Ooh. Maybe Ruby could be a cat. Great.
Susie: Now, let's test this cat idea with our third clue.
Tommy: Our third clue is this squeak sound. Squeak-squeak!
Chuckie: Hmm, does a cat make a squeak sound? No. Well, let's rethink. What costume could Ruby wear to the party that makes these footprints, has whiskers, and makes a squeak sound?
Tommy: A mouse costume.
Chuckie: A mouse costume! That's it! Because a mouse makes these footprints, has whiskers, and makes a squeak sound.
Phil: We just figured out Spike's Clues.
Lil: Hey, Ruby. How about wearing a mouse costume to the party?
Ruby: A mouse costume? That's it! That would be perfect!
Lil: Oh, okay. Uh... you go get in your costumes, we'll go get the mail, and we'll all meet later and play the costume limbo.
Billy: All right! Come on, Ruby!
Ruby: Let's get in my costume!
Lil: Great! Let's go get the mail!
(Angelica sits down in the thinking chair, gets the letter suitcase and gets a letter about costume limbo)
Angelica: We just got a letter. I wonder who it's from.
(Angelica opens the letter)
Angelica: Look! It's a letter about costume limbo. First, costume limbo got to be quick. Next, the person goes under the limbo stick. Third, how low can you go? Fourth, the person goes low under the limbo stick. Fifth, we put the stick of numbers three, two, and one. Sixth, the person has to go again. And last, the game... is over.
(Angelica closes the letter)
Susie: You know what? I think it's time...
The Rugrats: ...to limbo.
(The Rugrats put on their costumes)
Tommy: How low can you go?
(Song starts)
Tommy: (chanting) Costume limbo, got to be quick!
Chuckie: (chanting) Everyone goes under the stick!
Phil: (chanting) How low can you go?
Lil: (chanting) Henry be limbo, Henry be quick!
Angelica: (chanting) The king goes right under the limbo stick!
Susie: (chanting) How low can you go? Hey. Remember how we figured out that Henry was a king?
(Henry limboing)
Tommy: (chanting) Skeleton be limbo, Skeleton be quick!
Chuckie: (chanting) Rustle under the limbo stick!
Phil: (chanting) How low can you go? Remember the hunt for Oogla-Boogla?
(Skeleton limboing)
Billy: Kids!
Ruby: We're ready!
Lil: Hey. Who do you think that is?
Tommy: Billy and Ruby!
Billy and Ruby: That's us!
(Billy and Ruby are in their costumes)
Angelica: Oh! Nice costumes.
Billy: Thanks.
Susie: (chanting) Billy be limbo, Ruby be quick!
Tommy: (chanting) Fish and mouse go under the stick!
The Rugrats, Billy, and Ruby: (chanting) How low can you go?
(Billy and Ruby limboing)
Billy and Ruby: Yeah!
Billy: (laughs)
Ruby: Wow!
(The Rugrats open the front door)
Tommy: (vampire laughing) Haunted friends!
Chuckie: Huff, puff! Far away home!
Phil: Bye!
(The Rugrats exit the spooky house and close the front door)
Tommy: You are now leaving the spooky house.
The end.

## Transcript

(The Rugrats open the front door, enter Robert's house and close the front door)
Robert: Oh. Hi!
Tommy: Hi, Robert.
Robert: Come on in!
(The Rugrats and Robert start walking)
Robert: You've got to see our new invention. Do you want to try it out with me?
(The Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Robert: Okay.
(Robert and The Rugrats walk and sit next to a TV showing a kite)
Robert: So, I was sitting here watching TV. And I thought, you know, I just don't want to get up and change the channel. So I made this.
(Robert holds up an invention with a red hand pointing in two yellow rulers)
Robert: Huh? Huh? You see, it changes the channel for you.
(Robert changes the channel with the invention)
The Rugrats and Robert: (laugh)
Robert: Have you ever seen anything like it before? I call it From Far Away Channel Changer Thing.
(The Rugrats change the channel with the remote)
Chuckie: Or you just use this remote to change the channel.
Robert: Oh! Right, guys. I guess there already is an invention that changes channels for you.
Phil: Of course.
Robert: Well, what do you call that invention?
Lil: Remote control.
Robert: Remote control. Right. Okay. Well, we'll just try to invent something new. Try, try again. That's my motto. Hey, kids! Do you want to invent something, too?
Angelica: No way, Robert! We already invented something.
Robert: Oh! Did you already invent something?
Susie: Yeah!
(Tommy picks Spike out of Tommy's pocket)
Tommy: Well, Spike, what did we invent? (imitates as Spike) Hmm, I know. You can play my game, Spike's Clues, to figure this out.
(Tommy takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike)
Chuckie: We'll play Spike's Clues to figure out what we invented.
Phil: So remember, Spike's pawprints will be on the clues: Spike's Clues.
(Angelica gets the notebook out of Angelica's pocket and Tommy picks Spike's pawprint on the notebook)
Lil: It is on the notebook.
(Tommy puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Angelica: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
Tommy: Notebook.
Angelica: Notebook. Okay. So, we'll draw the notebook in the notebook. Here we go.
(Angelica opens the notebook)
Angelica: So, we start with the spiral up here... and then we draw a square for the cover... and then, we draw a picture of the thinking chair. There, our handy-dandy notebook.
Susie: I wonder what we could have invented with a notebook.
Tommy: Do you know? Ooh. Maybe. But, I think we better keep playing Spike's Clues to figure it out.
Chuckie: You know, I can tell we're really gonna need your help today trying to figure out what we invented. Will you help?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Chuckie: You will? Great.
(The Rugrats, Spike and Robert start walking)
Phil: I can't wait to see what we invented.
Robert's Mom: Robert!
Robert's Dad: Robert! What should we do now? I've got bread and peanut butter.
Robert's Mom: I've got bread and jelly.
Robert's Dad and Robert's Mom: But we want to eat them together!
Robert: Hold on! Hold on! We will invent a way, so that you can eat them together. Uh... okay. Let me think. The first thing what you gotta do is that you have to take the bread with peanut butter on it. Uh-huh. And then you want to take the bread with the jelly on it, and you wanna... What could you do now?
Lil: Stick them together.
(Robert's Dad and Robert's Mom stick the bread together)
Robert: Stick them together. Yeah! Like just stick them together! And then they'll be all stuck together! And you could call this invention The Jelly with Bread and Peanut Butter All Stuck Together! This is brilliant! This is an entirely new concept!
(The Rugrats, Spike and Robert walk to the back door)
Robert: Wait a minute! Isn't there already something called a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Yeah, it did sound a little bit familiar. Okay. Well, we'll just try, try again. Because that's my motto.
Ryan: Robert!
(The Rugrats, Spike and Robert run outside)
Ryan: We heard that you were inventing something.
Robert: Well, yes. Actually, the kids already invented something. And we're... (laughs) We're trying.
Jessikah: No way! Really? Kids! What did you invent?
Angelica: Oh. Well, we're playing Spike's Clues to figure out what we invented.
Ryan: Hey. We're playing a game, too.
Jessikah: An invention game.
Robert: So, how do we play?
Ryan: These are all inventions that help people talk to each other from far away.
Jessikah: We need to figure out which invention came first.
Robert: Okay. Let's see. This is a candlestick telephone, and this is a telegraph, and this is a cordless phone. So, which was invented first?
Susie: That one.
Robert: Oh! Right. The telegraph.
Ryan: Robert! That was Hello in this code.
Robert: You could tap out a message to someone really far away. But you have to know the code.
Jessikah: Then what came after the telegraph?
Robert: Do you know? Which was invented next? The candlestick telephone or the cordless phone?
Tommy: That one.
Robert: Oh! The candlestick telephone. I see. So, people could actually talk to each other.
Jessikah: And that one must be last.
Robert: Right. The cordless phone.
Ryan: So you could walk around anywhere and talk.
The Rugrats: Ring, ring! Ring, ring!
Robert: Hello? Oh! Hi, kids! We're still looking for clues. But right now we're playing an invention game. Uh-huh. Ryan and Jessikah. Okay. Gotta go. Bye.
Jessikah: Let's play again!
Ryan: Okay. Look, Robert. These are all inventions that people could use to fly from place to place. Which invention came first?
Robert: Well, let's see. We have a jet, a plane, and a glider. So, which was invented first?
Chuckie: That one.
Robert: Oh! The glider! Yeah! See how it just glides in the air? Wow! That's a nice invention.
Jessikah: So... what came next?
Robert: Okay. So, the glider came first. So, which was invented next? The jet or the plane?
Phil: That one.
Robert: Oh, yeah! The plane. See? They put an engine in the plane so that it would stay in the air.
Ryan: And that one must be last.
Jessikah: Look how fast it goes.
Robert: Right. The jet plane. See, they put in even more powerful engine in it. So it can fly even faster.
Ryan: Yeah! Hey, look!
Ryan and Jessikah: Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!
(Robert's Dad and Robert's Mom bring out some cups of lemonade)
Robert's Mom: We thought all this invention might make you a little thirsty.
Robert's Dad: So we brought you some lemonade.
Robert: Thanks.
Lil: Ooh! Lemonade!
Robert: Hey. I just had another idea for another invention. Maybe there's a way we could invent something so that the lemonade could go right from the cup, right to your mouth, without ever touching the cup. You know, some... some sort of... sipping... sipping tube, some...
(The Rugrats sipping lemonade with straws)
Robert: Something just like that, kids. You know, we could call these Inventions Straws. Huh? Huh? Have you ever heard of a straw before?
Angelica: Yes.
Susie: Oh!
Robert: Oh, yeah. Right. I guess straws already have been invented. Okay. Well, we'll just try, try again. That's my motto.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats and Spike are back at Robert's house)
Tommy: Ooh! The mail's here.
(Tommy sits down in the thinking chair, gets the letter suitcase and gets a letter about inventions)
Tommy: We just got a letter. I wonder who it's from.
(Tommy opens the letter)
Tommy: It's a letter from Jen, Lee, and Tiffany, and they have their favorite inventions. Jen's favorite invention is her umbrella cause it keeps her dry. Goggles are Lee's favorite invention. They make her see underwater. Tiffany's favorite invention is the flashlight. She can read in the dark.
(Tommy closes the letter)
Tommy: Wow. Those were interesting inventions.
(Tommy takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a thinking chair)
Chuckie: There is a clue! Right here on the thinking chair.
(Tommy puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Phil: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Phil gets the notebook out of Phil's pocket)
(Phil opens the notebook)
Phil: First, we draw an arc, and then two swirls for the arms of the chair, a curved line for the legs, and some horizontal lines for the seat. There, the thinking chair.
Lil: So, our first clue is... our notebook. And now our second clue is the thinking chair.
Angelica: So, what could we have invented with our notebook and the thinking chair? Good idea. But, I think we better find our last clue.
(Chuckie closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Chuckie's pocket)
Susie: Oh, Robert.
(Fade to Robert starts walking)
Tommy: Now where did we go?
(The Rugrats looking into the book of inventions)
Chuckie: Oh! We just looked into that book All About Inventions.
Phil: Let's go, too.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats, Spike and Robert are in An Invention Workshop)
Lil: Oh, wow!
Robert: We're in An Invention Workshop! Look! There's... There's blackboards! And... And blue prints! For drawing inventions! And pipes and follies for building inventions! Wonder what that's gonna be! Hey! Do you want to try to invent something, too?
(The Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Robert: Yeah. Wonder what we can do there.
Inventor Man 1: Hello! Maybe you can help me! I need to go to the store faster as I can walk. So I figured I would invent something. Can you help?
Robert: Oh! Do you all want to help sketch this invention?
(The Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Robert: Great. So, how can we help?
Inventor Man 1: Well, I have this wheel and this handle bar. What can I invent with these things?
Robert: Hmm, well, what could he invent to get to the store fast with a wheel and a handle bar? Let's see.
(Inventor Man 1 draws another wheel and a seat)
Robert: What is he inventing?
Angelica: The bicycle.
Robert: Oh! The bicycle. You invented the bicycle! Well, that'll get you to the store faster than walking.
Inventor Man 1: Now I just need to build it.
(Fade to Inventor Man 1 finished building a bicycle)
Inventor Man 1: Look! I built it!
Susie: Oh, wow!
Robert: Wow! Good job! Way to go! Whoo-hoo!
Inventor Man 1: Bye!
Tommy: Bye!
(Robert and The Rugrats walk to Inventor Woman)
Inventor Woman: Oh, hello! I'm trying to invent something. To get all this stuff to my friends. Can you help me?
Robert: Oh! Well, actually, the kids here are the inventors themselves. And we're... Well, you know, we're currently kind of working on the inventions. How about your invention? So, how can we help?
Inventor Woman: Well, I made these tracks and these wheels. What can I invent with these things?
Robert: Oh, so, what could she invent to carry all her stuff to her friends with tracks and wheels? Let's see.
(Inventor Woman puts wheels on the tracks)
Robert: What is she inventing?
Chuckie: A train.
Robert: Oh! A train. A train! Yeah! That's a perfect way to carry all your stuff to your friends.
Inventor Woman: Now I just need to build it.
(Inventor Woman builds a train)
Inventor Woman: Look at my invention!
Robert: Nice train!
Phil: Oh, yeah!
Inventor Woman: Thanks for all your help!
Lil: You're welcome!
(Robert and The Rugrats walk to Inventor Man 2)
Robert: Oh, hello! Wait! Don't tell us. You're inventing something, too.
Inventor Man 2: How did you know? I'm trying to invent something so I can take a trip. But I don't want to follow train tracks. I want to go on my own way. Can you help?
Robert: Sure. We're getting pretty good at this. So, how can we help?
Inventor Man 2: Well, I made these tires and this motor. What can I invent with these?
Robert: Oh! So, what could he invent to take a trip with tires and a motor? Well, let's see.
(Inventor Man 2 puts a seat)
Robert: What is he inventing?
Angelica: A car!
Robert: A car! You invented a car! That'll be a great way to get to your friends' house!
(Inventor Man 2 builds a car)
Inventor Man 2: Look! I did it! I can go anyway that I want! Thanks for helping!
Susie: Sure!
Robert: Another brilliant invention. The car.
Tommy: (imitates as Spike) Come on, guys! (as himself) Oh, yeah! We still have to figure out what we invented. Come on.
(A paper of pawprints is on the floor)
(Tommy takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a paper of pawprints)
Chuckie: Oh! Right there! On those... those... What are those?
Tommy: Pawprints.
Chuckie: Pawprints! Yeah! Like Spike's!
Phil: So, pawprints are our last clue.
(Tommy puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Lil: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Lil gets the notebook out of Lil's pocket)
Phil: Notebook.
Lil: Notebook. (laughs) Which was also a clue. Okay. So, we need to draw pawprints in our notebook.
(Lil opens the notebook)
Lil: First, we draw a circle... and some smaller circles for the toes like this... and another paw... and another. There, pawprints.
(Lil closes the notebook)
Angelica: Well, we have all three clues.
Susie: You know what that means? We're ready to sit in our...
Tommy: Thinking chair.
Susie: Thinking chair. Let's go.
(Fade to black, and fade to Robert and The Rugrats are back at Robert's house and sit down in the thinking chair)
Tommy: Okay. Now that we're in our thinking chair... let's think. (laughs)
Chuckie: Will you help us?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Chuckie: You will? Great.
Phil: So, we're trying to figure out what our friends invented. And our clues are... our notebook... the thinking chair... and... these pawprints.
Lil: So, what could our friends have invented, with our notebook, the thinking chair, and these pawprints?
Angelica: Hmm, you know, you know, I feel like we do something with all these things. Do you? I mean, isn't there a game that we play with our notebook, the thinking chair, and pawprints?
Susie: Hmm, what game is that?
Tommy: Spike's Clues.
Susie: (starts to laugh) Spike's Clues! Yeah! That's it!
Tommy: Spike! Did we invent the game of Spike's Clues? (imitates as Spike) (laughs) Yes! Spike's Clues! (as himself, laughs) Of course! (laughs) That's it! Because we play it everyday with our notebook, and we find the pawprints which are the clues, and then... we sit down in our thinking chair, like we're doing right now.
Chuckie: We just figured out Spike's Clues.
Phil: We invented the game of Spike's Clues, and... and... it is such a great game.
(Ryan and Jessikah come back)
Jessikah: Kids, did you really invent Spike's Clues?
Lil: We sure did, Jessikah.
Robert: They sure did. Hey. Remember the game we played with Ryan and Jessikah about inventing?
(Inventor Man 2 comes back)
Inventor Man 2: So, how does this invention of yours work, kids?
Robert: Look! It's our inventor friend! Remember what invention we helped him with?
Angelica: A car.
Robert: A car. Exactly.
Ryan: What did you invent, Robert?
Robert: Oh! Well, uh... I didn't exactly invent anything. Really, I tried and I tried.
The Rugrats, Ryan, Jessikah, and Inventor Man 2: Well, try again!
Robert: Yeah. Try, try again. That's my motto. Okay. I know I'll try again.
(Robert sees a notebook holder)
Robert: I have an idea. Okay. First thing I need is some tape. Got it. And some, uh... cardboard... and then this. Okay. So you know how my notebook gets...
(Robert gets the notebook out)
Robert: Stuck? Well, this is The No Stick Notebook Holder.
(Robert puts the notebook inside)
Robert: See? How the notebook fits in there? And then, this fits very easily on your belt so you can take it with you. Hey. Have you ever seen an invention like this?
Susie: No.
The Rugrats, Ryan, Jessikah, and Inventor Man 2: Ooh! Wow!
Jessikah: That's great!
Inventor Man 2: Bravo!
Robert: Hey! Maybe you'll invent something. Keep it posted.
Tommy: Nice.
Robert: Thank you so much for all your help today.
Chuckie: You're welcome, Robert.
Robert: Bye-bye. See ya. Let me know what you invent.
Phil: Okay, Robert.
(The Rugrats and Spike open the front door, exit Robert's house and close the front door)
Lil: Come on.
The end.

## Transcript

(Tommy holds up the word "Hi")
Tommy: Hi!
(Lil as Spike holds up the word "Welcome")
Lil: (imitates as Spike) Welcome!
Tommy: Welcome!
Chuckie: Look what we brought home from school. It's...
(Chuckie holds up the big bag of words)
Chuckie: A Big Bag of Words!
Lil: Ooh.
Phil: There's some really great stuff in here. Come on.
(The other Rugrats sit on the floor)
Lil: See? We've got big words like...
(Lil as Spike holds up the word "Somersault")
Lil: Somersault. (imitates as Spike) Somersault. (as herself) And we've got some little words like...
(Lil pulls out the word "Me")
Lil: Me. And...
(Lil pulls out the word "You")
Lil: You. You and Me. I like it. And uh... Ooh!
(Lil pulls out the word "Wiggle")
Lil: (laughs) Here's a good one. Wiggle. Wiggle! (imitates as Spike) Ooh! Wiggle!
Angelica: That's fun to say.
Susie: Hey. Can you wiggle? Let's see.
(Lil wiggles)
(The Rugrats and Spike wiggling)
Susie: Yeah! See? That's what it means to wiggle!
Tommy: Wiggle is fun to say and fun to do. These words are great.
Lil: (imitates as Spike) Yeah! They are fun! (as herself) Hey, Spike. What do you think we should do with our words? (as herself) Hmm, I know. You can play my game, Spike's Clues, to figure this out.
(Lil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike)
Lil: Great idea! We'll play Spike's Clues to figure out what we should do with our words.
Chuckie: I love Spike's Clues.
Phil: So remember, Spike's pawprints will be on the clues: Spike's Clues.
(Lil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Lil: You know, I can tell we're really gonna need your help today trying to figure out what we should do...
(Lil holds up the big bag of words)
Lil: ...with our words. You will help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Lil: Great.
Angelica: Cool. So, uh... Hey.
(Angelica pulls out the word "Look" as glasses)
Angelica: Let's go Look for clues. With our looking glasses. Come on.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk to the bedroom with The Big Bag of Words)
(Lil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on the word Make)
Susie: Oh, look! There is a clue.
Tommy: On this word. Make. Make.
(Lil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Chuckie: Hey. You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Chuckie gets the notebook out of Chuckie's pocket)
Tommy: Notebook.
Chuckie: Notebook. Right. So, the word Make.
(Chuckie opens the notebook)
Chuckie: We start with an M... and then an a... a k... and an e. There, that spells Make.
Phil: So, we're trying to figure out what we should do with our words. And our first clue is the word Make.
Lil: So what could we do with our words with the word Make? Yeah. Maybe. But, uh... I think we better find two more clues.
(Chuckie closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Chuckie's pocket)
Angelica: Hey! There it is.
Susie: Let's, uh...
(Susie pulls out the word "Walk")
Susie: Let's Walk to the kitchen.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk slowly)
Tommy: Walking. Just walking along.
(The Rugrats and Spike try to get to the kitchen, but they are still walking slowly)
Chuckie: You know, I think we need a faster word than Walk.
Phil: How about, uh...
(Phil pulls out the word "Scurry")
Phil: How about Scurry? You think we'll get there faster if we scurry?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Phil: Yeah! Let's scurry, because we're in a hurry.
(The Rugrats and Spike scurry faster to the kitchen)
Tommy: We're not finished making lunch for our friends.
Angelica: We need to make the salad when we finish the sandwiches.
Lil: Us?
Tommy: Yes! We're the only hopes.
Angelica: The only hopes? But we don't, know...
Lil: Hey. Will you help us make salad? Great.
Angelica: Okay. We'll do our best.
Chuckie: Okay. Listen closely. First thing we need to do is wash the lettuce in the colander so that the water drains from the holes. Got it?
Susie: Uh...
Tommy: Great.
(The Rugrats and Spike go to the kitchen sink)
Tommy: Okay. So, Chuckie said to wash the lettuce in the colander. But we don't know what the word Colander means.
Lil: Ooh.
(Chuckie sees a calendar hanging)
Chuckie: Hey! Maybe this is a colander. Huh? What do you think? Can we wash the lettuce in this? No. No, because this is a calendar. Which sounds a lot like Colander, but you can't wash lettuce in a calendar. That's silly.
Phil: Okay. Let's think about this. What else did Chuckie say? He said wash the lettuce in the colander so the water drains through the holes.
Lil: Yeah! So we must be trying to find something that has holes for draining water. Cool.
Angelica: Do you see the colander?
Lil: Right there.
Angelica: Oh yeah! That must be the colander! Because it has holes for draining water!
Lil: Wow! Let's wash the lettuce!
(Lil washes the lettuce in the colander)
Susie: We're just washing lettuce in a colander.
Angelica: Now we have to add a handful of croutons to the salad to make it nice and crunchy. Okay?
Tommy: Okay!
Angelica: Don't worry. Lunch is on the way.
Chuckie: Okay. So, we need to add a handful of croutons to the salad. But we don't know what the word Croutons means.
Lil: Croutons.
(Phil sees crayons)
Phil: Ooh! How about these?
(Phil holds two crayons)
Phil: Huh? Are these croutons? No. Nope. These are crayons. Great for coloring. Not so great for salad.
Lil: Okay. We've got to think. What else did Angelica say? She said add a handful of croutons to the salad to make it nice and crunchy.
Angelica: Yeah. So croutons must be crunchy.
Lil: Yeah!
Susie: Do you see the croutons?
Tommy: Right there.
Susie: Oh!
(Susie eats a crouton)
Susie: Oh, yeah! Very crunchy! It kind of tastes like toast.
(Lil tries some croutons)
Lil: Mmm! Yum!
Tommy: These must be the croutons!
Lil: Let's add them to the salad.
(Lil puts the croutons into the salad)
Tommy: Guys! There's just one more thing to do! We need to toss the salad so that the ingredients are spread throughout the salad. Got it?
Chuckie: Got it.
Phil: Okay. So, now what we need to do is toss the salad.
Lil: Wait. Toss the salad?
Angelica: Do you think we're supposed to toss it? You know, like we toss a ball? Nope. No. That would be messy.
Susie: Well, maybe Toss means something else when you're talking about salad. But what else did Tommy say? He said toss the salad so that the ingredients are spread throughout the salad. Right.
Lil: That's right.
Tommy: So what should we do?
Phil: Mix it. Right there.
Tommy: Mix it?
Lil: Let's try it.
(Lil mixes the salad)
Tommy: Oh yeah! It's working! It's working!
Chuckie: So, I guess to toss a salad is to mix it up!
Angelica: Is it ready?
Phil: Ah, but of course!
Lil: One colander washed crunchy crouton tossed salad coming up! Here we go.
(Lil brings the salad and the sandwiches to the table)
Chuckie: That salad looks scrumptious!
Susie: Mmm! Delicious!
Lil: Salad! Yummy!
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats and Spike are in the kitchen with The Big Bag of Words)
Angelica: We did it! In fact, you did...
(Angelica pulls out an "a")
Angelica: ...A great job.
(Lil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on the letter "a"j
Susie: Hey. There's a clue. On this letter A. Which can also be a word as in A clue.
(Lil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Tommy: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Tommy gets the notebook out of Tommy's pocket)
Susie: Notebook.
Tommy: Notebook. Right. So, an a.
(Tommy opens the notebook)
Tommy: Let's make an a. There, an a.
Chuckie: So, we're trying to figure out what we can do with our words.
Phil: What was our first clue?
Lil: Make.
Phil: The word Make. Right. And now our second clue is the word a.
Lil: So, what can we do with Make and a? Make a... Maybe. But, I think we better find our last clue.
(Tommy closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Tommy's pocket)
Angelica: The mail's here. Let's go.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk back to the living room)
(Susie sits down in the thinking chair, gets the letter suitcase and gets a letter about words)
Susie: We just got a Letter. That is a nice word. I wonder who it's from.
(Susie opens the letter)
Susie: It's a letter about words, and here's a little poem we made about the word Letter. (reading) I love the word Letter. There's not one word Better. Not Cheddar, or Sweater, is Better than Letter. Since the first day I met her, my life has been Better. Letter.
Tommy: That's a great poem, Susie. Thank you.
Susie: You're welcome, Tommy. And another one, like making up a story. This story is about an elephant. This color orange, it was a lot, and it was an elephant's friend. They ate pizza together. Then they became friends with the pig. And they went to the castle. They pick roller skates and went to the moon in outer space. They saw an alien that was purple. Then, they colored.
(Susie closes the letter)
Lil: Hey, guys. Come here.
(Lil as Spike looks into the blank piece of paper)
Chuckie: Did you see that?
Phil: Spike just looked. Into that... blank piece of paper.
(The other Rugrats look into the blank piece of paper)
Lil: Hey, Spike, why did we look into a blank of paper? I mean, there's no place to go. (imitates as Spike) Don't worry. We have a word to appear.
(Lil as Spike pulls out the word "Road")
Lil: Road.
(Lil puts the word "Road" down on a paper)
Angelica: Did you see that?
Susie: Lil just pulled up the word Road. And a road appeared.
Lil: And...
(Lil pulls out the word "Wagon")
Lil: Wagon.
Tommy: Hey. Lil just pulled up the word Wagon. And a wagon appeared.
Chuckie: This is amazing. You know what we have. We have the power of words.
Phil: We can make anything happen.
Lil: I wonder what we can find at the end of this road.
Angelica: Let's...
(Angelica pulls out the word "Go")
Angelica: Go.
(Lil pretends the word "Wagon" to be moving)
Susie: Hey. This is great!
Lil: We have Sky. And Sun.
Tommy: Let's try...
(Tommy pulls out the word "Lion")
Tommy: ...Lion.
(Tommy picks the lion toy out of the toybox)
Tommy: Oh no. Oops. Pardon us, we didn't mean to scare you, but we're just trying to get by. (imitates as Lion) Roar!
Lil: Uh-oh.
Chuckie: Maybe Lion wasn't the best choice of words.
Lil: How are we gonna get to the end of this road if there's a lion in the way? (imitates as Spike) Hey! We can use our big bag of words! (as herself) Brilliant idea, Spike.
Phil: We can use the power of words. To help us with this... lion problem.
Lil: So let's see what words we have.
Angelica: We have, Ferocious and Tame.
Lil: Which word do you think will help us more?
Susie: Let's try them out and see what happens.
Tommy: First, let's try Ferocious.
(Tommy as Lion pretends to be roaring very loud)
The Rugrats: (screaming)
Chuckie: Okay. Now let's try Tame.
(Tommy as Lion pretends to snore and lick his paw)
Phil: So which word do you think will help us more to pass this lion?
Lil: Ferocious or Tame?
Tommy: Tame!
Lil: Tame. Right. It looks like Tame means gentle or calm. I think Ferocious meant mean.
Tommy: Okay! Bye! Tame Lion.
(Tommy puts the lion down)
(Lil pretends that the wagon word starts moving)
Angelica: This is cool.
Susie: Hey. Nothing's stopping us now.
Lil: Jazz Music.
(Jazz music plays)
Tommy: And Bullfrog. Ribbit-ribbit!
Chuckie: How about Rock?
(Chuckie picks up a big giant rock toy)
Lil: Ooh.
Phil: Now there's a big rock in the way.
Lil: (imitates as Spike) Hey. Let's use two words to help us more so we can make the giant rock get out of our way. (as herself) Of course, Spike. We can use words to change this rock. Then maybe we can get by. Hmm, let's see. We have Enormous and Miniscule.
Angelica: Wow.
Susie: So which word do you think will help us more?
Tommy: Well, let's see. First, let's try an Enormous rock.
(Chuckie holds the rock toy really high)
The Rugrats: Whoa!
Chuckie: We see.
Phil: Now let's see a Miniscule rock.
(Chuckie holds the rock toy really low)
Lil: So which word do you think will help us more to pass by this rock? Enormous or Miniscule?
Tommy: Miniscule.
Lil: Yeah. Miniscule. Looks like Miniscule means really tiny. And the Enormous rock was really big.
Angelica: Miniscule rock is easy to get by.
(Lil pretends that the wagon word to be moving)
Susie: Okay! Here we go!
Tommy: To the end of the road!
(Lil pretends that the wagon word is moving slowly)
Lil: (imitates as Spike) This is taking a long time to get to the end of the road. (as herself) Hey, Spike. Do you have any words that might help the wagon move faster? (imitates as Spike) Yep. We found these two words. Swiftly and Sluggishly. (as herself) All right! We have Swiftly and Sluggishly.
Chuckie: So, would we want the wagon to move Swiftly or Sluggishly?
Phil: Well, let's see. First, let's try Swiftly.
(Lil pretends that the wagon word moves swiftly fast)
Lil: All right! Okay! Now let's try Sluggishly.
(Lil pretends that the wagon word is moving sluggishly slower)
Angelica: So, which word would help us to make the wagon move faster?
Lil: Swiftly or Sluggishly?
Angelica: Swiftly.
Susie: Yeah. Looks like Swiftly meant quickly.
Lil: Very quickly.
Susie: And Sluggishly was pretty slow.
(Lil pretends that the wagon word moves swiftly fast)
Tommy: All right!
Lil: Whee!
Chuckie: (laughs) Oh yeah!
Phil: Now we're really cruising!
Lil: Cruising swiftly to the end of the road! (laughs) Here we go!
Angelica: Hey! Guys! I think we made it!
Susie: We see the end of the road!
(The end of the road happens to be nothing)
Tommy: This is it? This is the end? But there's nothing here!
Lil: (imitates as Spike) Hey. We've got another word.
(Lil as Spike pulls out the word "Party")
Lil: (imitates as Spike) Party.
(The Rugrats dancing)
(Music plays)
Lil: Spike, you're brilliant! With the power of words, you turned nothing into a party. (imitates as Spike) Yeah!
(Lil pulls out the big word "Poem")
(Lil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on the word "Poem")
(Suddenly, the other Rugrats see a pawprint on an enormous word)
The Rugrats: Whoa!
Chuckie: There's an enormous clue. On this... Enormous word!
Phil: Po-Em. Poem.
(Lil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike and puts Spike in Lil's pocket)
Lil: You know what we need, we need our handy-dandy...
(Lil gets the notebook out of Lil's pocket)
Phil: Notebook.
Lil: Notebook. Right. The word... Poem.
(Lil opens the notebook)
Lil: To write Poem, we make a P... an o... an e... and an m. There, that spells Poem.
(Lil closes the notebook)
Angelica: Hey. We have all three clues.
Susie: You know what that means, we're ready to sit in our...
Chuckie: Thinking chair.
Susie: Thinking chair. Yeah.
Tommy: Let's go swiftly to our thinking chair.
(The Rugrats sit in the thinking chair)
Chuckie: Okay. Now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
Phil: You will help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Phil: Great.
Lil: So, we're trying to figure out what we should do with our words. And our clues are... the word Make... the word a... and the word Poem.
Angelica: So, what should we do with our words with the word Make, the word a, and the word Poem? Make, a, and Poem.
Susie: Maybe... Maybe we could put these words together in a sentence.
Tommy: Yeah. Well, can you figure out a way to put these words together in a sentence that makes sense?
Angelica: Make a poem.
Tommy: Make a poem. That's it! That's a perfect thing for us to do with our words.
Chuckie: Put them together to make a poem.
Phil: We just figured out Spike's Clues.
Lil: Let's go.
(The Rugrats sit at the snack table)
(Lil picks up Spike out of Lil's pocket)
Lil: (imitates as Spike) Let's use these words to make a poem. (as herself) Right, Spike. Let's use some of our favorite words to make our poem.
Angelica: Hey. For the kitchen. Remember how we helped us make that salad for our friends?
Susie: Roar! Hello, Tame Lion. Do you like poems? Grr, why, sure I do. Hey. Remember how we road that wagon to the end of that road?
Lil: Okay, Spike. Do we have all our words for our poem? (imitates as Spike) Uh-huh. (as herself) Great. (clears throat) Our poem is called Words, Words, Words.
Tommy: (reading) Mix and Fix, and Toss and Giggle. (giggles)
Chuckie: (reading) Crunchy Croutons, Walk, and Wiggle.
Phil: (reading) Some like Soup, and some like Stew, and little words. Me and You.
Lil: (reading) Everywhere that you look, in Wagons, Salads, or in a Book. Are Words, Words, Words. The end. What a great poem. Great job, Spike. (imitates as Spike) Oh, thanks, guys.
Angelica: (to the other Rugrats) Hey. Great job to you, too. You were an enormous help today.
The end.

Jordan's Dad: Psst! Jordan!
(Jordan walks to the counter)
Jordan's Dad: We have a problem. We're out of the ingredients to make spaghetti sauce. How do we make spaghetti?

Tommy: That one.
Jordan: Right. That one looks like it has more peppers. Let's see. Uh... this one has, one, two, three, four peppers. And this one has, one, two peppers. So this one does have more.
Jordan's Dad: Great work, shoppers! Next ingredient we need is a can of tomatoes. Onward! To the tomatoes!
Jordan: To the tomatoes!
(The Rugrats, Jordan and Jordan's Dad walk to the cans of tomato sauce)
Jordan's Dad: We need a can that holds the most tomatoes.
Jordan: The most. So, which can do you think holds the most tomatoes?
Chuckie: That one.
Jordan: Oh yeah. This one. Because it's tall and really wide. It must hold the most. Great job.
Jordan's Dad: It's perfect. Okay. The last ingredient we need is mushrooms. To the mushrooms!
Jordan: To the mushrooms! Mushroom.
Jordan's Dad: We need a carton with the smallest number of mushrooms. The carton with the least.
Jordan: The least. Okay. So, which carton do you think has the smallest number of mushrooms?
Phil: That one.
Jordan: This one? Do you think so? Let's count and see. This one has, one, two, three, four. This one has, one, two, three, four, five. And this one has, one, two, three, four, five, six. So this one has the least.

Angelica: A cookie.
Tommy: A cookie. Right. And now our second clue is a scoop of ice cream.
Chuckie: So, what dessert could we make that has a cookie and a scoop of ice cream? Oh, yeah. Maybe. But I think we better find our last clue. Come on.
(Susie closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Susie's pocket)
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats, Spike, Jordan and Jordan's Dad are back home in the kitchen)

(Jordan opens the letter)

(Jordan closes the letter)
Jordan: Hey. Let's go see how our chefs are doing.

Emily: Um, excuse me. Waiter.
(The Rugrats and Jordan walk to the table)
Jordan: Yes?
Emily: May I please have more spaghetti sauce? I want to have the same amount of sauce as Daniel.
Jordan: Ah! Yes. Well, we'll take care of that right away. So... Daniel has one, two scoops of sauce and Emily has one scoop. How many more scoops does Emily need so that they both have the same amount?
Lil: One.
Angelica: One scoop.
Jordan: Yeah.
(Angelica puts one scoop on Emily's spaghetti)
Jordan: Now Emily has one, two scoops of sauce.
Emily: Just like Daniel. Thanks!
Susie: No problem.
Jordan: Bon appetit.
David: Excuse me, waiter?
Jordan: Yes?
David: Um... May we please have more carrot sticks? I want to have the same number as Gabrielle.
Tommy: But of course.
Jordan: So, Gabrielle has... one, two, three, four, five, six carrot sticks. And David has... one, two, three, four carrot sticks. How many more carrot sticks does David need so that they both have the same amount?
Chuckie: Two.
(Phil puts two carrot sticks on David's plate)

David: The same number as Gabrielle. Thank you.
Phil: Sure!
Jordan: Well, bon appetit.
Daniel: Excuse me! Waiter!
Jordan: Yes?
Daniel: May I please have the same amount of juice as Emily?
Jordan: Um... of course.
David: Waiter, I would like the same as Emily, too. Please?
Jordan: Okay. So... Daniel has less juice than Emily, and David has more. So, what could they do so that they both have the same amount as Emily?
Lil: Pour some of that one in there.
Angelica: Yeah!
(Angelica pours some juice)
Jordan: Yeah! We could pour some of David's juice into Daniel's cup. And that way, all three would have the same amount.
David: Thank you!
Daniel: Thanks!
Susie: You're welcome.
Jordan: Bon appetit.
Gabrielle: Excuse me, waiter. What's for dessert?
Tommy: They're asking about dessert. Well, we don't know what it is yet.
Chuckie: What should we tell them? Yeah.
Phil: Actually, we're still trying to figure out what dessert we're going to serve. Bon appetit!
(The Rugrats and Spike start walking)
Lil: We better find that third clue.
(A drawing of another cookie is on the desk)
(Lil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on an oatmeal cookie)
Angelica: Oh yeah. There's a clue. Right there. And it's... it's a cookie.
Susie: It's another oatmeal cookie.
(Lil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Tommy: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Tommy gets the notebook out of Tommy's pocket)
Lil: Notebook.
Tommy: Notebook. Right. So, another cookie.
(Tommy opens the notebook)
Tommy: So, a cookie is an oval... and then some squiggly lines like this. There, another cookie.
(Tommy closes the notebook)
Chuckie: Hey. We have all three clues.
Phil: You know what that means. We're ready to sit in our...
Chuckie: Thinking chair.
Phil: Thinking chair. Right.
Lil: Let's go.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk back to the living room and sit down in the thinking chair)
Angelica: Okay. Now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
Susie: You will help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Susie: Great. So, we're trying to figure out what dessert we should make. And our clues are... a cookie... a scoop of ice cream... and another cookie.
Tommy: So, what dessert could we make with a cookie, a scoop of ice cream, and another cookie?
Chuckie: Well, maybe... maybe we could put the scoop of ice cream on one of the cookies. Yeah. But, then what would we do with the other cookie?
Phil: Oh. Yeah. Maybe... Maybe we could put the other cookie on top. And then... um... What would we have?
Susie: An ice cream sandwich.
Phil: An ice cream sandwich! Yeah! Because an ice cream sandwich is a dessert that has two cookies with a scoop of ice cream in between.
Lil: We just figured out Spike's Clues.
Jordan: Come on, kids, let's go make and serve dessert.
Angelica: All right!
(The Rugrats and Jordan go back to the kitchen)
Jordan's Mom: We heard the news, Jordan! Ice cream sandwiches!
Jordan's Dad: This time, we have all the ingredients!
Jordan: Right. Remember when we went to the grocery store with dad, and we found all the ingredients for the spaghetti sauce?
Jordan's Mom: Here you go. Four desserts.
Jordan: Thanks.
Susie: Wow. These look amazing.

David: Ice cream sandwiches.

Jordan: We hope you enjoy, bon appetit. Wow. Our restaurant was a huge success. Everyone loved lunch. And dessert. You're a great waiter.
(The Rugrats and Jordan walk to the front area)
Jordan: Hey. Thank you so much for all your help today.
Chuckie: You're welcome, Jordan.
Jordan: Bye-bye. Thanks. See you later.
Phil: Goodbye, Jordan.
Jordan: (to Gabrielle, Daniel, Emily and David) When do we get to eat?
David: We don't know.
(The Rugrats open the front door, exit Jordan's house and close the front door)
The end.

Ben's Dad: Julia, are you feeling sad?
Julia: Yeah. I feel a little sad.
Ben's Dad: Um, what do you think Julia is feeling sad about?
Angelica: Getting glasses.
Ben's Dad: Oh! Getting glasses. Julia. Just think of all the things you will be able to do better once you get your glasses. Like you will be able to read better, you'll be able to... to see pictures, you'll be able to see things that are really far away.
Ben: Yeah. There's nothing to be sad about. There are so many things you will be able to do.
Julia: Hey! You're right. There are things to see and do once I get my glasses.
(Tommy picks Spike out of Tommy's pocket)
Tommy: Hey, Spike. What else do you think Julia will be able to do when she gets her glasses? (imitates as Spike) Hmm, I know. You can play my game, Spike's Clues, to figure this out.
(Tommy takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike)
Tommy: Oh! Good thinking. We'll play Spike's Clues to figure out what Julia will be able to do when she gets her glasses!
Julia: Brilliant idea!
Susie: So remember, Spike's pawprints will be on the clues: Spike's Clues.
(Tommy puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Tommy: Hey, Julia! Are you up for a game of Spike's Clues?

(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Chuckie: Great.

Angelica: Notebook. Right. Okay. Let's see.
(Angelica opens the notebook)
Angelica: So, let's draw a jagged line for the roof... then some straight lines that go around like this... a curved line for the door. There, Julia's house.
Susie: So, we're trying to figure out what else Julia will be able to do when she gets her glasses. And our first clue is... Julia's house.
Tommy: So, what else would Julia be able to do when she gets her glasses with her house?
Chuckie: Do you know? Maybe. But, I think we'll need to find two more clues.
(Angelica closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Angelica's pocket)
(Tommy puts Spike in Tommy's pocket)
Ben: Dad!
Julia: Come on!
(Amanda is with Ben and Julia)
Amanda: Hi, Julia!

Dr. Eyester: What a great name. Julia. I'm Dr. Eyester. And I'm going to help you get the perfect pair of glasses so you can see better.
Amanda: That sounds good! Right, Julia?
Julia: Right!
Dr. Eyester: You just need to look in here and answer some questions so I can figure out what kind of glasses you need.
Ben's Dad: Hey! That sounds kind of like a game!
Amanda: Oh, yeah! That's a good way of looking at it.
Dr. Eyester: Okay. So let's get started. Rest your eyes right here. This is how Julia sees now. Without glasses.
(Ben's Dad is seen blurried)
Dr. Eyester: Everything's out of focus. And this is how Julia will see with glasses.
(Ben's Dad is now seen very closely and waves)
Dr. Eyester: Everything's in focus. Pretty terrific, huh?
Julia: Yeah! Very unique.
Dr. Eyester: Okay, Julia. I'm going to show you some pictures.
(A picture is seen blurried)
Dr. Eyester: What do you see?
Julia: Hmm... I don't know.

Dr. Eyester: Okay. One last picture. What do you think it is?
Julia: Um... I have no idea what that is.
Ben's Dad: How about you? What picture do you think Julia is seeing?
Susie: A fish.
Ben's Dad: A fish. Do you think so?
Dr. Eyester: Julia, tell us when it's clear.
(The picture fades in very clear showing a fish)
Julia: Very, very clear!
Ben's Dad: Oh, yeah! A fish!
Amanda: Yeah! Great job, Julia!
Julia: Thanks!
Tommy: Wow!
Dr. Eyester: That's wonderful, Julia. You know, I'm learning a lot about what kinds of glasses you should get. Okay. So let me just check one last thing.
Julia: Okay.
(A picture of some things show)
Dr. Eyester: Look at this picture, and tell me. Is the apple on the table or off the table?
Julia: Hmm, I don't know.
Ben's Dad: What do you think? Is it on or off the table?
Chuckie: On!
Julia: Oh, yeah!
Ben's Dad: Yep! The apple is most definitely on the picnic table.
Dr. Eyester: How about the balloons? Are they over the table or under the table?
Julia: No idea.
Ben's Dad: What do you think? Are they over or under the table?
Phil: Under the table!
Julia: Uh-huh!
Ben's Dad: Oh, yeah. Good job. Those balloons are under the table.
Dr. Eyester: Okay. So is the picnic blanket near the table or far away from it?
Julia: I don't know.
Ben's Dad: What do you think? Is it near the table or far from the table?
Lil: Near the table.
Julia: Ooh!
Ben's Dad: Oh, yeah! Look at that! The blanket is near the table.
Dr. Eyester: Okay. We're all done! Nice work, Julia.
Julia: Thanks, Dr. Eyester.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats looking at the window at the eye doctor's office)
(Tommy takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on the window)
Susie: Ooh. I see the clue. What is it?
Tommy: A window.
Susie: A window! So our second clue is a window. A window is our second clue.
(Tommy puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike and puts Spike in Tommy's pocket)
Tommy: Hey. I have an idea. I'll draw it in my...
(Tommy gets the notebook out of Tommy's pocket)
Tommy: ...notebook. Okay. Go.
(Tommy opens the notebook)
Tommy: Okay. And down... right. Okay. Uh-huh.
(Tommy draws a window)
Tommy: There, a window.
Chuckie: Okay. So what was our first clue?
Susie: Julia's house.
Chuckie: Julia's house. Right. And now our second clue is a window.
Phil: I wonder what else Julia will be able to do when she gets her glasses with her house and a window. Do you know? Yeah. Maybe.
(Tommy closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Tommy's pocket)
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats, Ben, Ben's Dad, Amanda, Julia and Dr. Eyester are back at Dr. Eyester's doctor room)

Ben: Okay!
Amanda: Thanks for helping, Uncle.
Ben's Dad: Aw, sure. It's nothin', really. I always...
(The Rugrats, Ben's Dad, Ben, Amanda, and Julia look at all the glasses)
Julia: Ooh! Colored glasses!
Ben: Oh, my goodness!
Amanda: Wow, Julia! You have so many great looking glasses to choose from.
Julia: Hmm, we're gonna need some help finding the perfect glasses for me.
Amanda: Okay. Looks like we could really use your help. Will you help Julia pick out the perfect pair of glasses?
(The Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Amanda: Great.
Julia: Awesome! So, I want purple glasses. And they are kept in a purple-colored case.
Amanda: Okay. Let's see. So Julia wants us to find glasses that have circles, are purple, and are kept in a purple-colored case. Where are they?
Lil: There!
Angelica: Those!
Julia: There they are!
Amanda: Right! Those glasses have circles, are purple, and kept in a purple-colored case. You are so smart.
Julia: Thank you!
Dr. Eyester: Let me just take these glasses. And make them right for your eyes, Julia.
(Dr. Eyester puts on the pair of glasses on Julia)
Dr. Eyester: There you go!
Julia: Oh, boy! I can't believe it! Look at me!
Amanda: Purple! What a great choice, Julia.
Julia: Thanks, Amanda!
Ben: (while holds up a mirror) Can you see better now?
Julia: Yes! I can see better! Wow!

Rosie: Wow, Julia. Did you get glasses?
Julia: Yes, I did.
Rosie: How come?
Julia: Because I wanted to see better with her.
Rosie: Do they feel funny?
Julia: Yep.
Rosie: Are you gonna wear them all the time?
Julia: No, not all the time.
(Julia takes off her glasses and put them on the ground)
Ben: Ooh! Julia, I don't want you playing hopscotch without your glasses.
Amanda: It looks like Ben doesn't want Julia to play hopscotch without her glasses.
Ben's Dad: Right. What do you think Julia should do?
Susie: She should wear her glasses.
Ben's Dad: Oh! Right!
Amanda: Yeah!
Ben's Dad: That's a good idea!
Julia: Hmm, oh! I can see better!
Ben's Dad: Oh yeah! Wearing glasses will help Julia to see the hopscotch board.
(Julia puts her glasses back on)
Julia: You think I can try?
Ben: Go for it!
(Julia jumps through the hopscotch board)
Julia: Hooray!
Ben: All right!
Ben's Dad: Hey! Great job, Julia!
Amanda: That was great!
Julia: Ooh! Hey, guys! I see something!
Amanda: Oh! I think Julia sees something.
Ben's Dad: Really? What could it be?
(Tommy picks Spike out of Tommy's pocket, takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on Ben)
Tommy: Ben is a clue! Our third clue.
(Tommy puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike, and puts Spike in Tommy's pocket)

Ben: All right.
(Chuckie opens the notebook)

Ben: Let's go!
(Ben and Julia run inside the house)
Ben's Dad: Come on!
(The Rugrats, Ben's Dad and Amanda run inside the house)
Ben's Dad: Ooh! Sorry! (laughs) You know, we might not all fit.
Ben: Hmm, I know. Follow me.
(The Rugrats, Ben's Dad, Amanda, and Julia follow Ben)
Ben: Why don't we sit in this couch?
Ben's Dad: Oh! Great idea, Ben. It's kind of like the thinking chair.
Amanda: Yeah. It's a... thinking couch.
Ben's Dad: Exactly.
Julia: Cool.
(The Rugrats, Ben's Dad and Amanda sit in the thinking couch)

Susie: You will help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Susie: Okay. Great.
Tommy: So, uh... What was our first clue?
Phil: Julia's house.
Tommy: Julia's house. Right. And our second clue was...
Amanda: A window.
Tommy: A window. Yeah. And our third clue was Ben.
Chuckie: So, what else could Julia do with her glasses, with her house...
Amanda: A window...
Phil: And Ben?
Lil: Do you know?
Angelica: Well, well, what if Julia went in her house? Yeah. And, uh... where could she go?
Amanda: To the window. And then, maybe she could do something. Something like, um... uh... I don't know what she could do.
Susie: Well, well, what could Julia do if she went in her house to the window with her glasses?
Tommy: See Ben!
Susie: See Ben. Yeah!
Tommy: So, maybe if Julia went into her house to the window, her glasses would help her...
The Rugrats and Amanda: To see Ben!
Chuckie: We just figured out Spike's Clues!
Ben and Julia: All right!
Phil: That was great!
Amanda: Oh! Hey! Julia! Let's go over to our house and look out our window and to see if we can see Ben.
Julia: Yeah! That's a great idea!
Ben's Dad: Okay. We'll wait here.
Amanda: Okay. Cool. Bye.

(Mailman gets the letter to Ben's Dad)

(Mailman exits the house)

(Ben's Dad opens the letter)

(Fade to black, and fade to friends at school)
(Song starts)
Woman: (singing) There was a time, I couldn't see. Things that were right, in front of me. Is that a house, a bush or a tree? I was scared, they were the only pair, down where I go to school. But I have lots of friends who see like me, our glasses are so cool. Now that I've got glasses, I see them every place. I'll see all the people with a set on their face. In all colors and shapes and now nothing escapes my eyes. Now that I've got glasses.
(Song ends)
(Fade to black, and fade back to Ben's Dad closes the letter sitting down in the thinking chair with The Rugrats and Spike)
Ben's Dad: Wow. So many of our friends wear glasses.
Julia: Hey, Uncle! Ben! Over here!

Ben's Dad: Wow. Thank you so much for all your help today.
Chuckie: You're welcome.

Ben: Exactly.
(The Rugrats, Ben's Dad, Ben, Amanda, and Julia wave at each other)
(The Rugrats and Ben's Dad walk to the living room)
Ben's Dad: See you later. Thanks for helping.

(The Rugrats open the front door, exit the house and close the front door)
The end.

## Transcript

(Doorbell rings)

Angelica: Let's go! This way! To the bedroom!
(The Rugrats, Spike and Superman walk to the bedroom)
(The superhero theme plays)

Tommy: (deep voice) It is us, The Super Friends! We have returned with Spike. And our newest superhero, The Incredibly Helpful Friend.
Alexandra: I'm Girl Power. The superhero with the super power of telling time.
Sean: And I'm Funny Sean. I have the power to be funny and to clean up anything.
Angelica: Together, we are...
The Rugrats, Sean, and Alexandra: The Thinking Squad!
(The superhero theme plays)
Chuckie: (deep voice) The superheroes who solve problems by using our thinking powers.
(A mysterious sound is heard)
Alexandra: Hero Guy, Planet Man, Enemy Boy, Enemy Girl, Wonder Woman, Super Pop Lady, and Captain Vision Guy. What's that?
Sean: Listen!
(Whirring and splashing)
Angelica: Damn. That is a mysterious noise we've ever heard.
Phil: (deep voice) I wonder what's making that strange sound.
Angelica: Well, let's hear the sound. Follow us.
(The Rugrats, Spike, Superman, Sean, and Alexandra walk to the living room, hearing the sound)
(The mysterious sound stops)
Alexandra: (gasps) Ooh...
Lil: The sound. It stopped.
Sean: Hero Guy, Planet Man, Enemy Boy, Enemy Girl, Wonder Woman, Super Pop Gorl, and Captain Vision Guy. What could've made that strange sound?
Angelica: That's a good question, Funny Sean. And the answer could only be found. By... (imitates as Spike) Hmm... (gasps) By playing my game, Spike's Clues, to figure this out.
(Angelica takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike)
Angelica: Oh! By playing Spike's Clues. (deep voice) Good idea, Spike. (imitates as Spike) My pleasure.
Susie: We'll play Spike's Clues to figure out what made that strange sound.
Dil: So remember, Spike's pawprints will be on the clues: Spike's Clues.
(Angelica puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Tommy: Okay, Incredibly Helpful Friend. Our mission is to figure out what made that strange sound.
(Whirring and splashing)
Tommy: You will help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Tommy: Great.
Chuckie: Come on.
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends pretend whooshing)
(Bubbles are seen floating out the window)
(Angelica takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on bubbles)
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends look out the window and see the bubbles)
Phil: There's a clue. On those bubbles.
(Alex and Leah are seen outside blowing bubbles)
Lil: You found the clue. You're so incredibly good at finding things.
(Angelica puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike and puts Spike in Angelica's pocket)
Angelica: You know what we need... (deep voice) Our super-duper...
(Angelica gets the notebook out of Angelica's pocket)
Tommy: Notebook.
Angelica: (deep voice) Notebook. Right. (normal voice) So, bubbles.
(Angelica/Wonder Woman opens the notebook)
Angelica: For bubbles, we draw some circles like this... add little shapes for the shiny spots... and we have bubbles. There, bubbles. So our mission is to figure out what made that strange sound.
Susie: So, what could've made that strange sound with bubbles? Oh. Maybe. But, I think we should find some more clues.
(Angelica/Wonder Woman closes the notebook, puts the notebook in Angelica's pocket and picks Spike out of Angelica's pocket)
(Fade to black, and fade to the other Rugrats and Superman looking at Angelica as Super Spike)
Angelica: (imitates as Spike) Super Friends, I think we found something.
Dil: Hey. (deep voice) That sounds like Super Spike. Let's go.
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends see Angelica as Super Spike looking at a spill in the kitchen table)
Angelica: Look at this.
Tommy: What do you think Super Spike found?
Lil: Spilled milk.
Tommy: There's a spill.
Angelica: (deep voice) Nice work, Super Spike. (imitates as Spike) Well, there's no use of flying over spilled milk. We've got to do something.
Chuckie: Incredibly Helpful Friend, we need you. What should we do about this spill?
Superman: Clean it up.
Chuckie: Brilliant idea. We should clean up this spill.
Angelica: We better act fast. The spill is moving toward the edge of the table.
Phil: All right, Thinking Squad, let's think. Which superhero do we know who has the power to be funny and cleaning? Oh, yeah. Sean. (deep voice) I mean, Funny Sean!
(Sean/Funny Sean appears)
Sean: Whoa! Did someone call for... (singing) Funny Sean!
Lil: Yes, we did.
Angelica: There's a spill.
Sean: Stand back! I know what to do! First, I need to lay down the paper towel to soak it up.
(Sean/Funny Sean lays a paper towel down the spill)
Susie: I see.
Sean: Next, I take a dam sponge.
(Sean/Funny Sean grabs a dam sponge)
Dil: A dam sponge.
Sean: Then wipe up the spill, like this.
(Sean/Funny Sean wipes up the spill)
Sean: Finally... I use another paper towel to dry.
(Sean/Funny Sean dries up the spill)
Sean: There.
Tommy: That was amazing.
Angelica: You really are really good at cleaning things up.
Sean: Well, that's my super power. Glad I could help. (singing) Funny Sean! Away!
(Sean/Funny Sean leaves the house)
Chuckie: (deep voice) Goodbye, Funny Sean. And well done.
Angelica: Amazing.
Super Dad: Oh no!
Phil: (deep voice) Sounds like someone else needs The Thinking Squad.
Angelica: Let's go.
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends, Spike and Superman rush to the kitchen)
Super Dad: Oh, there you are, Thinking Squad. Phew!
Lil: (deep voice) Hello, Super Dad. What's going on?
Super Dad: I'm making juice pops in the freezer. It'll be ready at two o'clock. But I don't know if it's two o'clock yet.
Lil: I see. So, we have to figure out if it's two o'clock yet.
Angelica: What do we need?
Superman: A clock.
Angelica: Amazing thinking. A clock. If we look at a clock, we'll be able to tell if it's two o'clock yet.
Susie: What superhero do we know who has the power of telling time? Oh, yeah. Alexandra. I mean... (deep voice) Girl Power!
(Alexandra/Girl Power appears)
Alexandra: I heard my name!
Dil: Yes, Girl Power. You're just in time.
Tommy: Super Dad needs to know if it's two o'clock yet.
Alexandra: Oh. Okay.
(Alexandra/Girl Power grabs out her clock)
Alexandra: Well, the big hand on my clock is on the... twelve.
Chuckie: The twelve.
Alexandra: And the little hand is on the... two.
Phil: On the two.
Alexandra: So that means... it's two o'clock.
Super Dad: Thank you so much. It's time to take out the juice pops.
(Super Dad takes out the juice pops)
Lil: Girl Power, you are super good at telling time.
Alexandra: I practice all the time.
Angelica: Good work.
Super Girl: Mommy, where's my teddy bear?
Susie: This way!
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends, Angelica as Super Spike and Superman whoosh)
Super Girl: Oh no.
Angelica: That way.
(A superhero theme plays)
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends, Angelica as Super Spike and Superman walk to Super Mom and Super Girl)
Dil: (deep voice) Hello, Super Mom, Super Girl. What seems to be the problem?
Super Mom: Super Girl doesn't know where her teddy bear is. She wants it for her nap.
Angelica: Oh, my.
Dil: (deep voice) Just a moment.
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends walk up to Superman)
Tommy: Okay. If Super Girl can't find her teddy bear, what can we do to help?
Superman: Find it.
Tommy: Great idea. We can try to find it.
Chuckie: Hey. Which superhero is so incredibly good at finding things?
Angelica: (gasps) Yeah. It's you. Super You. The Incredibly Helpful Friend.
Chuckie: Yeah. Because you helped us find Phil's mask and that clue. Come on.
Phil: (deep voice) So, where is Super Girl's teddy bear?
Super Girl: Where is it?
(Super Girl searches for her teddy bear. The teddy bear is inside the fruit basket)
Superman: It's right there.
Super Girl: My teddy bear! You found it! Thank you!
Angelica: You found it. Way to use your super power.
Super Mom: Thank you so much!
Lil: (deep voice) Oh, you're welcome. Glad we could be a help. Come on.
(The Rugrats, Spike and Superman walk to the kitchen sink. The water is floating in the sink)

The Rugrats: (deep voices) The Thinking Squad!
(Angelica takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on water)
Susie: Oh, yeah! You found another clue.
Dil: On this water.
(Angelica puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Tommy: You know what we need... (deep voice) Our super-duper...
(Tommy gets the notebook out of Tommy's pocket)
Phil: Notebook.
Tommy: Notebook. Right. So, water.
(Tommy/Hero Guy opens the notebook)
Tommy: Let's draw two wavy lines like this. There, water.
Chuckie: So, what could've made the strange sound with bubbles and water? Maybe. But, I think we better find our last clue.
(Tommy/Hero Guy closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Tommy's pocket)
Phil: The mail's here. Let's go.
(The Rugrats, Spike and Superman walk back to the living room)
(Lil sits down in the thinking chair, gets the letter suitcase and gets a letter about superheroes)
Lil: We just got a letter. I wonder who it's from.
(Lil/Enemy Girl opens the letter)
Lil: It's a letter about the super story. Once upon a time, there was a person named Superhero. And Superhero helped people out. Superhero rushed to the kitchen. Superhero took out the trash bag, and Superhero put the trash bag in the bin. Superhero rushed to the dad, and Superhero and the father shoveled up the snow. And so, the day is saved, thanks to a person named Superhero.
(Lil/Enemy Girl closes the letter)
(Doorbell rings)
George: (offscreen) Thinking Squad, I need you!
Angelica: (deep voice) Somebody needs us!
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends, Spike and Superman rush to the front door)
Angelica: Let's look.
(Angelica opens the front door to see George)
Susie: (deep voice) Angelica just opened, into the front door.
The Rugrats: (singing in a deep voice) Thinking Squad... to the rescue!
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats/The Super Friends, Spike and Superman are outside)
(Some superheroes are flying by)

Chuckie: (deep voice) I'm Planet Man.
Phil: (deep voice) I'm Enemy Boy.
Lil: (deep voice) I'm Enemy Girl.
Angelica: (deep voice) I'm Wonder Woman.
Susie: (deep voice) I'm Super Pop Lady.
Dil: (deep voice) I'm Captain Vision Guy. And this is The Incredibly Helpful Friend.
Tommy: (deep voice) Where are we?
George: This is Superheroville. A place where superheroes come from.
Chuckie: Then you must be... (deep voice) A superhero. What's your name?
George: I'm George.
Chuckie: (deep voice) I see. Hello, George.
Superman: Hey. How come you don't have a superhero name, like, Super George, or Wonder George, or Georgeman, or something?
George: I don't have a super name, because I don't know what my super power is. Will you help me figure out what my super power is?
Phil: Will you help George figure out his super power?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Phil: Great.
Lil: (deep voice) Yes, of course, George. We'll help.
(A fancy dancer appears, struggling to dance)
Fancy Dancer: (sighs)
George: That's the fancy dancer. She is a dancing superhero. But she looks a little sad. Hi, Fancy Dancer.
Fancy Dancer: Hi.
George: Are you sad?
Fancy Dancer: (sighs) Yeah. I have nobody to dance with today.
George: I'll be right back. Thinking Squad, we need a way to make Fancy Dancer feel better.
Angelica: (deep voice) You're right, George. Let's think.
Susie: What could we do to make the Fancy Dancer feel better?
Superman: Dance with her.
Susie: Great thinking. (deep voice) George, I suggest you dance with her.
George: I can dance with her. May I dance with you?
(George and Fancy Dancer dance together)
Fancy Dancer: I feel much better now.
(George and Fancy Dancer are done dancing)
Fancy Dancer: Thank you!
The Rugrats, Superman and George: Goodbye!
(Fancy Dancer dances away)
Dil: Wow. Looks like she's feeling much better now with somebody dances with her.
(A runner appears)
Runner: Oof! Arrgh! Unh!
Tommy: Hey, George, who is that?
George: That's the runner. Come on.
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends and George run over to the Runner)
Chuckie: Say, George, what exactly did you say her super power was?
George: She is the fastest runner in town.
Runner: Ow!
George: Uh-oh. I better see what's going on.
(George runs to the Runner)
George: Hi, Runner. Are you okay?
Runner: Every time I try to run, I fall. I don't know what's going on.
George: Hero Guy, Planet Man, Enemy Boy, Enemy Girl, Wonder Woman, Super Pop Girl, and Captain Vision Guy, come here. How can we help the runner? She keeps falling.
Phil: How can we help the runner stop falling?
Superman: Tie her shoes.
Phil: Tie her shoes?
Lil: Oh. Her shoes are untied.
Angelica: That's probably why she keeps falling down.
George: Thanks, Hero Guy, Planet Man, Enemy Boy, Enemy Girl, Wonder Woman, Super Pop Girl, and Captain Vision Guy. Here you go, Runner.
(George ties the runner's shoes)
George: Now you probably won't fall. Tying shoes is super important.
(The Runner starts running)
Runner: Look at me! I'm running! Thanks!
(The Runner runs away)
Susie: She's a great runner.
George: Running is her super power. (sighs) What's my super power?
Dil: Oh. Don't worry, George.
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends run up to Superman)
Tommy: We've got to think. We need to find out what George's super power is.
(Fancy Dancer appears again)
Fancy Dancer: Oh, hi, again. Thanks for dancing with me, George. It really made me happy.
(The Runner appears again)
Runner: Hey there, George. Now that my shoes are tied, I'm running without falling. Thanks.
Chuckie: We just need to figure out George's super power.
Phil: What did George do for both Fancy Dancer and The Runner?
Superman: Made them happy.
Phil: Made them happy?
George: Oh yeah! I did made them happy.
Lil: So, George. Maybe making people happy is your super power.
George: Maybe... Whoa! What's happening?
(Fade to George is changing into a superhero)
Angelica: George is changing.
George: I'm not George, anymore! Cheerer-Upper is my super power name. Because I cheer people up. And made them happy. I finally have my super power. Thank you, Thinking Squad! I couldn't have done it without your thinking powers.
(George/Cheerer-Upper walks away)
Susie: You're welcome... Cheerer-Upper!
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats/The Super Friends, Spike and Superman are back home)
(The strange sound is heard again)
Angelica: Oh. Did you hear that?
Dil: There's the sound. Come on.
(The sound stops)
Dil: It stopped. We need to figure this out.
Tommy: What are we gonna do?
Angelica: (imitates as Spike) This looks like a job for... Super Spike!
Chuckie: Super Spike? To the rescue?
(Angelica takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on the clothes)
Angelica: (imitates as Spike) Ta-da!
Phil: (gasps) Did you see that?! Super Spike just used his super power to leave a clue.
Lil: You know? We've never actually seen him do that before.
Angelica: (deep voice) Nice work, Super Spike. (imitates as Spike) It is our pleasure, Wonder Woman.
Susie: (deep voice) So, there's a clue on these clothes.
(Angelica puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Dil: (deep voice) You know what we need, our super-duper...
Angelica: Notebook.
Dil: (deep voice) Notebook. Right. (normal voice) So, clothes.
(Dil/Captain Vision Guy opens the notebook)
Dil: Let's draw a shirt... with some circles for buttons... a pair of pants... two curvy lines for socks. There, clothes.
(Dil/Captain Vision Guy closes the notebook)
Tommy: Our third clue.
Chuckie: Hey. We have our third clue.
Phil: (deep voice) You know what that means. We're ready to sit in our...
Dil: Thinking chair.
Phil: (deep voice) Thinking chair. Let's go.
(The Rugrats, Spike and Superman run back to the living room and sit in the thinking chair)
Lil: Okay. Now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
Angelica: You will help, right, Incredibly Helpful Friend?
(Superman nods his head yes)
Angelica: Great. So, we're trying to figure out what's making that strange sound. And our clues are... bubbles... water... and clothes.
Susie: So, what could be making that strange sound with bubbles, water, and clothes?
Dil: Well, bubbles come from... soap. Yeah. And if we have soap in water, we'd probably be washing something.
Tommy: Well, what would we be washing? Oh yeah. Maybe the clothes.
Chuckie: So, what do you think could be making that strange sound that uses soap and water to wash clothes?
Superman: A washing machine.
Chuckie: A washing machine. Yeah. Because washing machines use soapy bubbles and water to wash clothes!!! And they make that strange sound!
Phil: We just figured out Spike's Clues.
Lil: Guys. I think the strange sound is coming from... the washing machine.
Angelica: Now all we have to do is investigate to see if we're right. Thinking Squad... to the washing machine!
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends, Spike and Superman rush to the laundry room)
Angelica: Come on. We're investigating a strange sound.
(They follow the strange sound)
Susie: We're getting closer.
(They see the washing machine washing clothes)
The Rugrats and Superman: The washing machine!
(A superhero theme plays)
Dil: Is it making the sound we've been hearing?
(They hear the sound)
Tommy: Hey! We did it! (deep voice) The strange sound is the washing machine.
Angelica: Thinking Squad, our work here is done.
Phil: Yay, Thinking Squad!
Lil: We figured it out!
Chuckie: You know? You really are an Incredibly Helpful Friend.
(The Rugrats/The Super Friends, Spike and Superman walk to the living room)
Phil: Hey. Thank you so much for all your help today.
Superman: You're welcome, super kids.
(The Rugrats and Superman hugging each other)
Lil: (deep voice) Thanks again.
(Superman opens the front door, exits the house and closes the front door)
Angelica: (deep voice) Wow. That was fun, Super Spike. (imitates as Spike) Really fun.
The end.

## Transcript

(The camera zooms up on Spike's Clues house)
(The Rugrats and Spike appear)
Tommy: Do you like bugs?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Chuckie: Well, we're going on a bug watching expedition.
(The Rugrats wear hats with bug antennas)
Dil: Where we look at all kinds of bugs.
Phil: Do you want to be a bug watcher with us?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Phil: Great. Well, let's go look for bugs. In the wild untamed wilderness. In the backyard.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk to the backyard)
Lil: Keep your eyes open for bugs. Okay?
(A dragonfly is seen buzzing and flying)
Dil: (imitates as Spike) (gasps) Ooh.
Angelica: I think Spike found something. Let's go take a look.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk to the yellow flowers where the dragonfly is seen)
Susie: Look. It's our first bug.
Dil: Oh, wow.
Dragonfly: (buzzing)
Dil: What kind of bug is it?
Tommy: A dragonfly.
Dil: It is a dragonfly.
Tommy: Wow. I love the way it just hovers there.
Dil: Like a helicopter.
The Rugrats: (buzzing)
Tommy: The dragonfly is one of our favorite bugs.
Dil: Hey, Spike. What's your favorite bug? (imitates as Spike) Hmm, I know. You can play my game, Spike's Clues, to figure this out.
(Dil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike)
Dil: Oh, I get it.
Chuckie: We'll play Spike's Clues to discover what Spike's favorite bug is.
Phil: So remember, Spike's pawprints will be on the clues: Spike's Clues.
(Dil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Lil: You know, I can tell we're really gonna need your help today trying to figure out what Spike's favorite bug is. Will you help?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Lil: You will? Great.
Angelica: All right, bug watchers. Follow us.
(The Rugrats and Spike start walking)
(Some airplane wings are on the ground by a tree)
(Dil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on some airplane wings)
Susie: Oh, a clue. Always remember the first rule of bug watching: watch your step.
Dil: There's a clue on these wings.
(Dil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Tommy: You know what that means? We need our handy-dandy...
(Tommy gets the notebook out of Tommy's pocket)
Dil: Notebook.
Tommy: Notebook. Right. So, wings.
(Tommy opens the notebook)
Tommy: First, let's draw a curved shape that's flat on one end... and another one. There, wings.
Chuckie: So, we're trying to figure out what Spike's favorite bug is. And our first clue is wings.
Phil: So, what could Spike's favorite bug be with wings? Maybe. But I think we should find some more clues and some more bugs.
(Tommy closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Tommy's pocket)
Lil: This way, bug watchers.
Angelica: Tell us if you see any bugs.
(Jaron appears)
Jaron: Hi, guys.
Susie: (whispers) Hi, Jaron.
Jaron: What are you doing?
Dil: (whispers) We're going on a bug-watching expedition. You want to come?
Jaron: (whispers) Oh. Okay.
Tommy: Okay. Shh...
Chuckie: (whispers) Let us know if you see any bugs.
(The Rugrats, Spike, and Jaron start searching for bugs)
(Chirping)
Tommy: A bug.
Phil: A bug?
Jaron: A bug! A bug!
Dil: Oh, wow.
(Grasshopper hopping)
Jaron: Yeow!
Lil: Hey. I think we know what kind of bug that is. We're pretty sure it's a grasshopper.
Dil: Ooh. A grasshopper.
Angelica: Hey. What's that grasshopper doing?
Dil: It's hopping.
Angelica: Yeah. It is hopping.
Dil: You see how it's using its big back legs to hop through the grass?
Jaron: Why does it have to hop around like that?
Susie: You know, Jaron? That's a good question.
Dil: So, why do you think the grasshopper hops? Yeah. Could be.
Jaron: Maybe it's looking for food.
Tommy: Or maybe that's how it gets around.
Dil: Bye, little grasshopper.
(The grasshopper hops away)
Jaron: Look, guys! I can hop, too!
(Jaron hopping)
Dil: Cool!
Jaron: Bye, guys!
Chuckie: Bye! Come on. Let's go look for more bugs.
(The Rugrats and Spike search for more bugs)
Phil: Okay. Do you see any other bugs?
(A mole cricket is seen in the dirt)
Tommy: A bug.
Dil: A bug?
(Jonathan appears)
Jonathan: Did you find a bug?
Lil: (whispers) Yes, Jonathan. See? It's right there.
(They see the mole cricket)
Jonathan: Ooh. I've seen that bug before. I think it's called... a mole cricket.
Angelica: A mole cricket.
Dil: Cool.
(Mole Cricket digging)
Susie: Well, what is it doing in the dirt?
Phil: It's digging.
Susie: Oh, yeah. It is digging.
Jonathan: It's digging tunnels. Just like a mole.
Dil: Oh. Oh, that must be why they call it a mole cricket. But, I wonder why it digs these tunnels. Let's take a closer look and figure it out.
(The mole cricket digs deep in the tunnel)
Tommy: So, why do you think the mole cricket digs these tunnels? Good thinking.
Jonathan: Maybe it's making its home. It could live in that tunnel.
Chuckie: Yeah. Or maybe it's resting.
Jonathan: That's my favorite bug. It digs in the ground just like me.
Dil: Hey. Let's look for some more bugs.
Jonathan: Bye.
Phil: Bye, Jonathan.
Lil: Okay. Keep your eyes opened, bug watchers.
(Rosa appears)
Rosa: Hi.
Dil: Hi, Rosa.
Angelica: We're on a bug watching expedition. You want to help us?
Rosa: Okay.
Susie: I don't see any bugs around here.
Dil: Tell us if you see one.
(A stick bug is on a branch in the bush)
Dil: There.
Tommy: Where? All we see is a stick.
Dil: It's on the branch. Damn it. It's a bug. Right there on that branch.
Chuckie: That bug looks just like a stick.
Rosa: I know this bug. I think it's called... a stick bug.
Phil: A stick bug.
(The stick bug is hiding in the bush)
Lil: What do you think the stick bug is doing?
Dil: Hiding.
Lil: Hiding? Right. I think it is.
Rosa: But, why is it hiding?
Angelica: That's a good question.
Dil: Let's take a closer look.
(The stick bug hides a little bit close to the branch)
Susie: Well, why do you think the stick bug is hiding? Oh yeah. Maybe it's scared.
Rosa: Or maybe it's looking for food. I'm gonna watch some more.
Dil: Wow. Well, we'd love to stick around, Rosa. But we've gotta look for more bugs. Bye.
Rosa: See you later.
The Rugrats: (buzzing)
(A picture of color swirls is seen on the picnic table)
(Dil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a picture of color swirls)
Tommy: Oh. You see a clue.
(They see the colors as they sit on the picnic table)
Chuckie: On these colors.
(Dil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Chuckie: You know what that means? We need our handy-dandy...
(Chuckie gets the notebook out of Chuckie's pocket)
Dil: Notebook.
Chuckie: Notebook. Right. So, colors.
(Chuckie opens the notebook)
Chuckie: Hey. We can use these crayons.
(Chuckie holds the green, red, and orange crayons)
Chuckie: We'll hold them together and make some swirls, like this. Colors.
(Chuckie puts the green, red, and orange crayons down and picks up the normal crayon)
Phil: So, what was our first clue?
Dil: Wings.
Phil: Wings. Right. And now our second clue is colors.
Lil: So, what could Spike's favorite bug be with wings and colors? Maybe. But, I think we should find our last clue just to be sure.
(Chuckie closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Chuckie's pocket)
Angelica: The mail's here.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk inside to Spike's house)
(Susie sits down in the thinking chair, gets the letter suitcase and gets a letter about bugs)
Susie: We just got a letter. I wonder who it's from.
(Susie opens the letter)
Susie: It's a letter about bugs. A caterpillar. A dragonfly. A ladybug. A grasshopper. A mole cricket. A stick bug. A cockroach. A butterfly.
(Susie closes the letter)
Susie: Wow. Pretty wild.
Dil: Hey. Let's get back to looking for bugs.
(The Rugrats put their bug hats on and go outside)
(Dil as Spike is standing next to a bug book)
Dil: Ooh. I wonder what's in that bug book. Let's look.
(Dil as Spike looks into the bug book)
Tommy: Hey. Spike just looked into that big bug book.
Chuckie: Come on.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats and Spike are in the bug outside in fantasy)
(The Rugrats and Spike see tall blades of grass)
Dil: Oh, my god.
Phil: Wow. Look at all these trees.
Dil: Wow.
(Lil holds onto a blade of grass which leans forward)
Lil: Hey. Hey, that's not a tree. That's a blade of grass.
(The Rugrats and Spike realize that they are small)
Angelica: (gasps) We're really small.
Susie: Just like bugs.
Dil: Hey. Now we'll get to see what it's really like to be a bug.
(Antoinette appears crawling)
Dil: Wow. Look at that bug. It's so big. Yeah. Because we're so small.
Antoinette: (costume) Hi. I'm Antoinette. I'm a worker bug. Today's my first day on the job. I think I need some help.
Tommy: Oh. Okay. Do you want to help Antoinette?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Tommy: Great.
Chuckie: Okay. Lead the way.
(Antoinette leads the way as The Rugrats and Spike follow her. A ladybug is seen on a blade of grass)
Antoinette: (costume) First, I have to find some food to bring back home. What should I do?
Phil: Okay. So, we need to help Antoinette figure out how to find her food.
(An ant is seen using its antenna)
Lil: What's that other ant using to find its food?
Dil: Its antenna. Wow. Its antenna.
Angelica: Antoinette! Use your antenna! To help you find your food.
Antoinette: (costume) Oh, that's right. My antenna helps me search where the food is.
(Antoinette uses her antenna as she found a food crumb)
Antoinette: (costume) Oh! That crumb is the perfect food for me to bring back home.
Susie: Great. Well, uh, let us give you a hand for that.
(The Rugrats hold onto the crumb)
The Rugrats: (grunting)
Dil: Spike? (imitates as Spike) I think I'll help.
(The Rugrats and Spike try to pick up the crumb)
The Rugrats: (grunting)
Dil: (imitates as Spike) Whew! It's so big and heavy we can't move it. (as himself) Yeah. And it's just a crumb. Imagine that.
(Antoinette uses her nose to pick up the crumb)
Dil: Ooh. Wow.
Tommy: Why do you think Antoinette can move this big heavy crumb?
Dil: She's strong.
Antoinette: (costume) I am strong. I'm going to carry this crumb all the way home. Come on.
Chuckie: Okay. Why don't you get that then?
(The Rugrats, Spike, and Antoinette walk to the ant hill)
Antoinette: (costume) This is my home: the ant hill. Let's get in line.
(The Rugrats, Spike, and Antoinette get in line to go inside the ant hill)
(A bug is seen at the line)
Phil: First time on an ant hill.
(A bug nods his head up and down)
(The Rugrats, Spike, and Antoinette go inside the ant hill and walk through an ant colony)
Dil: Oh, wow.
Antoinette: (costume) This is the ant colony.
Lil: Wow. Nice colony.
Antoinette: (costume) Yep! And everybody's got a job to do.
(They see some ant rooms)
Angelica: Wow. Look at all these rooms.
Antoinette: (costume) That's where they take care of the babies. This is the food story. Come on.
(They walk into the food tunnel as Antoinette puts the crumb in the food)
Antoinette: (costume) We did it. Thanks for helping me bring some food back home.
Susie: Hey. No problem.
Antoinette: (costume) Now I want to bring some food to my mom.
(The Rugrats, Spike, and Antoinette walk to Antoinette's mom)
Antoinette: (costume) There she is. That big spider over there is my mom. She's the leader of the entire colony.
Dil: Really. Well, what do you think Antoinette's mom is called if she's the leader of the entire colony?
Tommy: The queen.
Dil: Oh, the queen.
Antoinette: (costume) Yeah. She's the queen bug.
(Antoinette brings a crumb to Antoinette's mom)
Antoinette's Mom: Oh, thank you. How was your first day on the job, Antoinette?
Antoinette: Great. I had a little help. Thanks a lot.
Dil: Oh, no problem.
Tommy: Thank you for showing us around the colony.
Chuckie: Your highness, bye.
Dil: Come on.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats and Spike are back outside in reality, as the book pages with a picture of a chrysalis)
(Dil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a picture of a chrysalis)
Phil: Oh. There's a clue. In our big bug book. And it's a... it's a...
(The other Rugrats walk to the bug book)
Phil: What is this?
Lil: I know what that is. It's a chrysalis. It's kind of like a cocoon.
Phil: Oh! It's a... chrysalis.
(Dil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Lil: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Lil gets the notebook out of Lil's pocket)
Dil: Notebook.
Lil: Notebook. Right. So, a chrysalis.
(Lil opens the notebook)
Lil: A line... with a big oval shape... and then some curved lines across like this. A chrysalis. There, a chrysalis.
(Lil closes the notebook)
Angelica: Hey. We have all three clues.
Susie: You know what that means. We're ready to sit in our...
Dil: Thinking chair.
Susie: Thinking chair. Let's go.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk back inside the house and sit down in the thinking chair)
Dil: Okay. Now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
Tommy: You will help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Tommy: Great.
Chuckie: So, we're trying to figure out what Spike's favorite bug is. And our clues are... wings... colors... and... a chrysalis.
Phil: So, what could Spike's favorite bug be with wings, colors, and a chrysalis?
Lil: Well, what if the wings had these colors on them? Yeah. Then what about the chrysalis?
Dil: Well, a chrysalis is kind of like a cocoon. Right.
Tommy: So, maybe the bug could come out of the chrysalis.
Chuckie: Well, what kind of bug has wings with colors that comes out of a chrysalis?
Phil: A butterfly.
Chuckie: A butterfly. Yeah. Because a butterfly has wings with colors and it's in a chrysalis when it changes from a caterpillar into a butterfly.
Phil: We just figured out Spike's Clues.
Dil: Let's go look for a butterfly.
Lil: Come on, bug watchers. Let's go see if we can find a butterfly.
(The Rugrats put on their bug hats and go outside)
(They walk outside with a chrysalis on a tree)
Dil: Hmm...
Angelica: We don't see any butterflies around here. Let us know if you see one.
Dil: (gasps) Guys! Look!
Susie: Oh. The branch. It's a chrysalis.
(The chrysalis starts to shake)
Susie: (gasps) And it's shaking.
Dil: Do you think the butterfly is ready to come out?
(Jaron appears)
Jaron: I want to see the butterfly.
Dil: Oh! Hey, Jaron.
Tommy: Remember how we found the grasshopper, the mole cricket, and the stick bug in the backyard?
Dil: (gasps) Look!
(The chrysalis cracks open)
Chuckie: The chrysalis. It's starting to open.
(The butterfly comes out of the chrysalis)
(The butterfly flies around with her colored wings)
(The butterfly lands in Dil's nose)
Dil: (laughs) That tickles. Oh, wow. That is a colorful butterfly.
Phil: Wow. What a beautiful butterfly.
Dil: Spike. You got to see your favorite bug. (imitates as Spike) Yeah. Isn't she beautiful?
The end.

Chuckie: This is our plant, Nero.
Phil: Go ahead. Say hi to Nero.
Lil: Hi, Nero.
(Phil makes Nero's leaf wave hello)
Lil: Today is a very big day for Nero. We're going to plant him in our backyard garden. You'll help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Lil: Great. Come on.
(The Rugrats walk to the garden in the backyard)
Angelica: See? We're all ready to work in the garden, we got our gardening gloves.
(Susie picks Spike out of Susie's pocket)
Susie: (imitates as Spike) Hi there, guys. (as herself) Oh. Hey, Spike. (imitates as Spike) Look at this garden. (as herself) Hey. The garden looks great.
(Little dirt is thrown)
Susie: Huh? What's going on?
(The Rugrats and Spike walk to Jerry and Kevin digging a hole and putting seeds in it)
Dil: What do you think Jerry and Kevin are doing?
Tommy: Planting seeds.
Dil: Yeah. They're planting seeds.
Susie: Digging holes in the dirt and putting seeds in.
Kevin: First, Jerry digs a little hole.
Jerry: And then Kevin puts in a seed and covers it up.
Tommy: Wow. Wonder what happens next.
(Water dripping)
(Scott appears with a hose)
Chuckie: Hey, Scott.
Scott: Next, I water them. That's my garden job.
(Scott waters the spot)
Phil: Well, we have a garden job, too.
Susie: Yeah. Planting Nero. Oh! A perfect spot.
Lil: Susie found a good spot for Nero. Come on.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk to the spot for Nero)
Susie: Ooh. That's perfect. Is it okay with you? (imitates as Spike) It's okay for me.
(Susie puts Nero in the hole)
Angelica: So, what do you think? Comfy?
Scott: Guys, what kind of plant is Nero?
Susie: Well, Nero's green, leafy, good with people.
Scott: Oh! But what kind of plant is Nero?
Dil: What do you mean? There are different kinds of plants.
Susie: (imitates as Spike) Some plants have vegetables and stuff. (as herself) Really? Like what? (imitates as Spike) I'll show you.
Scott: Over here are the pussy willows.
Kevin: And that's a bean plant. See all those little beans?
Jerry: And we planted this kind for you, guys. It's a striped wintergreen plant.
Tommy: With green stripes. Thanks.
Chuckie: So these are all different kinds of plants.
Susie: I wonder what kind of plant Nero is. (imitates as Spike) Well, I think I know what kind of plant Nero is. (as herself) Do you know, Spike? (imitates as Spike) Hmm, I know. You can play my game, Spike's Clues, to figure this out.
(Susie takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike)
Susie: Oh! We'll play Spi...
(The Rugrats realize they have their garden gloves on and take them off)
Susie: ...Spike's Clues to figure out what kind of plant Nero is. Great idea.
Phil: So remember, Spike's pawprints will be on the clues: Spike's Clues.
(Susie puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Lil: You know, I can tell we're really gonna need your help today trying to figure out what kind of plant Nero is. You will help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Lil: Great.
Angelica: Come on.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats and Spike are in the living room)
(Susie takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on the picture of a color red)
Susie: Oh! Oh, you see a clue.
(The other Rugrats see the clue as they run up to the picture of a color red)
Susie: And it's on this color... red.
(Susie puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Dil: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Dil gets the notebook out of Dil's pocket)
Tommy: Notebook.
Dil: Notebook. Right. So, our first clue is the color red.
(Dil opens the notebook)
Dil: Let's use our red crayon and draw a line that zig-zags back and forth. There, the color red. Our first clue.
(Dil puts the red crayon down and picks up the normal crayon)
Tommy: So, what kind of plant could Nero be with the color red? Excellent idea. But we'll have to find two more clues just to be sure.
(Dil closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Dil's pocket)
Chuckie: First, let's check on Nero. Hope he's okay.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk to the backyard and see Nero)
Phil: Hey, Nero. Enjoying your new home, making lots of new plant friends?
Lil: We hope so. Look at all these great plants around.
(The Rugrats and Spike start walking and see some plants)
Angelica: We got bean plants... sunflowers, one of Spike's favorites... zinnias...
(Scott is seen with a plant in front of him)
Susie: What kind of plant is that?
Scott: It's me, Scott. I'm pretending to be this aster plant. Do you want to be a plant, too?
Dil: You'll be a plant with us, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Dil: Great.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk over to Scott with the plant)
Tommy: Sure. We'll be plants with you.
Scott: Cool. So first, I want to make my feet be roots. Like these roots here.
Chuckie: Oh. Like those roots there, huh?
Phil: Looks like those roots are spread out all over the place.
Scott: Yep. They spread out in the ground. But I don't know what the roots do in the ground.
(Scott puts the plant in the dirt and spreads the roots)
Lil: Do you know what the roots do all spread out down there in the ground? What do they need to find?
(Then, we get a closer view of the roots in the dirt)
Angelica: What do the roots need?
Susie: Water.
Angelica: Water. Roots spread out so they can find water and soak it up for the plant.
Susie: How about we try that with our feet? Come on.
(The Rugrats and Spike sit on the stone wall)
Dil: Okay. Let's spread our feet out like roots.
(The Rugrats, Spike and Scott spread their feet out like roots)
Scott: Our roots are soaking up water. Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp.
Dil: (slurping)
Scott: We figured out how to make our feet be roots. But what about our stems and leaves? What do they do?
Tommy: Well, let's take a look at those plants over there. See if we can figure it out.
Scott: Yeah.
Chuckie: Come on.
(The Rugrats, Spike and Scott walk to a tree with a shade)
Scott: These plants are leaning their stems and leaves.
Phil: You're right, Scott. Those plants are in the shade. And they're leaning out of the shade. What do you think they're leaning torward?
Lil: The sun.
Phil: Right. The sun. That's it.
Scott: Let's lean our stems out of the shade so our leaves can be in the sun.
(The Rugrats and Spike sit on the stone wall and they and Scott start leaning)
Lil: You're leaning, too. Right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Lil: Great.
Angelica: Wait. Almost there.
Susie: We did it. Our leaves are in the sun.
Scott: That was great.
(Wind blowing)
Dil: What's that?
(A seed is blowing through the wind)
Scott: Come see.
(The Rugrats and Scott run to the dirt and look at the tiny seed)
Scott: Wow. The wind blew that seed all the way over here.
Tommy: There it is in the dirt.
Chuckie: Well, what do you think will happen next?
Dil: It will grow into a new plant.
Chuckie: That tiny seed is gonna grow into a new plant. That's amazing.
Scott: Let's pretend that we're seeds and grow into plants.
Phil: You'll be a seed, too. Right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Phil: Great.
(The Rugrats and Scott pretend they're seeds)
Lil: Okay. We're little seeds. First, we sprout roots.
(The Rugrats and Scott use their feet to sprout roots)
Lil: Then spread them out so they can soak up water.
Scott: Slurp, slurp, slurp!
Angelica: Now, we grow a stem and leaves and lean so the leaves can soak up the sun.
(The Rugrats and Scott lean over)
Susie: Let's grow really big.
(The Rugrats and Scott grow really big)
Dil: We did it. We went from tiny little seeds to great big plants.
Scott: Thanks for being plants with me.
Tommy: Sure. No problem, Scott.
Chuckie: Hey. Let's go see how Nero's doing.
(The Rugrats walk to Nero)
(Susie picks Spike out of Susie's pocket)
Susie: Hey, Spike. Hey, Nero. (imitates as Spike) Hi, guys.
Phil: So, Nero, you're going to want to soak up all that water and that sun so you can grow into a nice, big, strong plant.
Lil: The mail's here. Let's go.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk back to the house)
(Angelica sits down in the thinking chair, gets the letter suitcase and gets a letter about plants)
Angelica: We just got a letter. I wonder who it's from.
(Angelica opens the letter)
Angelica: It's a letter about plants. Like flowers. A blue bonnet. A daisy. A daffodil. A rose. A wildflower. And a sunflower.
(Angelica closes the letter)
Susie: I can't wait to figure out what kind of plant Nero is.
Dil: Let's go find some more clues.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk to the bedroom)
(A picture of round shapes is on the desk.)
(Susie takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a picture of round shapes)
Tommy: Oh. There's a clue.
Chuckie: On these round shapes.
(Susie puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Phil: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Phil gets the notebook out of Phil's pocket)
Dil: Notebook.
Phil: Notebook. Right. Okay. Let's draw these round shapes.
(Phil opens the notebook)
Phil: A line that curves all the way around... then another... and another. There, round shapes.
Lil: What was our first clue?
Dil: Red.
Lil: The color red. Right.
Angelica: Now our second clue is round shapes.
Susie: So, what kind of plant could Nero be with the color red and round shapes?
Dil: Do you know? That's a good idea. But we should probably find one more clue just to be sure.
(Phil closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Phil's pocket)
Susie: (imitates as Spike) Hey, guys. Over here.
Tommy: It sounds like Spike. Come on.
(The Rugrats walk to Susie as Spike with some pictures of plants)
Susie: Hey, Spike. What are you working on? (imitates as Spike) Some pictures of plants. (as herself) Oh. Pictures. Oh. Are these your favorite plants? (imitates as Spike) Uh-huh.
Dil: Look at these wonderful drawings of a venus flytrap, a geranium, and a sensitive plant.
Chuckie: A venus flytrap, a geranium, and a sensitive plant.
Susie: How come these are your favorite plants, Spike? (imitates as Spike) Well... because they're really smart. (as herself) Because they're really smart? Well, what makes them so smart? (imitates as Spike) Well, let's find out.
(Susie as Spike leaves the house)
Phil: Spike just left into that book All About Plants.
Lil: Let's go, too.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats and Spike are in the plant outside)
Angelica: Wow. This is amazing.
Susie: It sure is.
(The Rugrats and Spike start walking)
Susie: A pond. (imitates as Spike) We've got to find that venus flytrap. (as herself) Oh, right. Let's see if we can find the venus flytrap. You'll help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Susie: Amazing. Just let us know if you see it.
(The Rugrats and Spike searching)
Tommy: Right there! The venus flytrap!
Dil: Hey. You found the venus flytrap. I wonder what smart thing it does.
Susie: Well, let's watch to see if we can figure it out.
(A fly appears buzzing as the Venus flytrap eats the fly)
Tommy: What did those leaves do?
Phil: They closed.
Lil: They trapped the bug.
Tommy: Yeah. Those leaves closed and the bug got trapped.
Susie: The plant trapped the bug. So I guess venus flytraps trap bugs so they can eat them. Right? (imitates as Spike) That's right.
Chuckie: That's pretty smart.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk to a field of wildflowers)
Phil: Wow. What a beautiful field of wildflowers.
Susie: (imitates as Spike) We've got to find the next plant. (as herself) Oh, right. Let's find the next favorite plant.
Lil: So keep your eyes open for the geranium.
(The Rugrats and Spike searching)
Susie: Geranium... Do you see it?
Phil: There. The geranium.
Susie: There it is. But what's so smart about this geranium? (imitates as Spike) Right. Let's watch and see.
(The pod pops and some seeds come out)
Angelica: What did that pod do?
Lil: It popped.
Phil: Seeds came out.
Angelica: Yeah. That pod popped and seeds came out.
(The seeds find their own dirt)
Susie: Oh, my. And here they are. I guess that helped the seeds find their own dirt so they could grow into new plants.
Dil: That's pretty smart.
Tommy: Okay. We have one more plant left to find.
Susie: The sensitive plant.
(The Rugrats and Spike searching)
Susie: Do you see it?
Dil: There! The sensitive plant!
Susie: There it is. I wonder what smart thing it does. (imitates as Spike) Well, yeah. Let's watch and see if we can figure it out.
(A rabbit appears and sees the sensitive plant)
Chuckie: Hey. It looks like that rabbit wants to eat the sensitive plant.
(Suddenly, the leaves dry out from the plant)
Phil: What happened to those leaves?
Susie: What did they do?
Tommy: They dried out.
Chuckie: They went out.
Phil: Yeah. They dried out and went down and then the rabbit didn't want to eat them.
(Fade to white and fade to the plant goes back to normal with The Rugrats and Spike)
Phil: And now it's back to normal again.
Lil: That was a very smart thing to do, sensitive plant. No, really, it was.
Susie: So, Spike, did we find all your favorite kinds of plants? (imitates as Spike) Yep. That's right. And we figured out what smart things different plants can do.
Angelica: Hmm, I wonder what smart thing Nero can do.
Susie: We better find some more clues so we can figure out what kind of plant Nero is.
(The Rugrats and Spike start walking. A vine is seen on a tree trunk)
(Susie takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a vine)
Dil: Oh. There's a clue... on this vine.
(Susie puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Tommy: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Tommy gets the notebook out of Tommy's pocket)
Phil: Notebook.
Tommy: Notebook. Right. So, a vine is a stem that climbs up things. So...
(Tommy opens the notebook)
Tommy: First, let's draw a long, curvy stem... then some shapes along the outside for leaves... and there, a vine.
(Tommy closes the notebook)
Chuckie: Our third clue.
Phil: We have all three clues.
Lil: You know what that means, we're ready to sit in our...
Tommy: Thinking chair.
Lil: Thinking chair. Let's go.
(Fade to black, and fade to The Rugrats and Spike are back home and sit down in the thinking chair)
Angelica: Okay. Now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
Susie: You will help. Right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Susie: Great.
Dil: So, we're trying to figure out what kind of plant Nero is. And our clues are... the color red... these round shapes... and... a vine.
Tommy: So, what kind of plant is Nero with the color red, round shapes, and a vine?
Chuckie: Well, maybe part of Nero could be red. Yeah. But what could that red part look like?
Phil: Right. Maybe round, like the shapes.
Lil: Well, what about the vine?
Angelica: Maybe the round, red shapes could grow on a vine. But what kind of plant grows something that's round and red on a vine?
Susie: What could that be?
Dil: A tomato plant.
Susie: A tomato plant. Yeah! Because tomatoes are red, they're round, and they grow on vines. Spike, is that it? (imitates as Spike) Absolutely. A tomato plant.
Dil: We just figured out Spike's Clues.
Tommy: Come on. Let's go to the garden and see Nero, our tomato plant.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk outside to the garden)
(Scott appears)
Chuckie: Oh. Hey, Scott.
Susie: Hi there.
Scott: Hi! Thanks for helping me figure out what roots, stems, leaves, and seeds do so I could be a plant.
Phil: Sure! We figured out something else out, too.
Susie: Come on.
(The Rugrats, Spike, Jerry, Kevin, and Scott walk to the plant, Nero, who has leaves)
Lil: Hey, Nero! Looking good!
Angelica: Nice leaves!
Susie: So, you'll help us tell everyone the big news. Right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Susie: Great.
Dil: When we do this, let's tell everyone that Nero is a tomato plant.
(The Rugrats and Spike run to Nero)
Kevin: What is it, guys?
Tommy: We would like to announce that Nero is...
The Rugrats: A tomato plant.
Jerry: Wow!
(Scott sees tomatoes on leaves)
Scott: Kids, look!
Chuckie: (gasps) Nero! You grew tomatoes!
Susie: You are so smart.
Phil: Hey. Remember how we found Spike's favorite plants and figured out what he did that was smart?
Jerry: Let's pick some tomatoes.
(Jerry picks out a tomato)
Jerry: Thanks, Nero!
(Scott picks out a tomato)
Scott: Thanks, Nero!
Kevin: I'll wash them. We can have tomatoes for a snack.
Susie: Ooh, yummy!
Lil: Wow! Plants do a lot of smart things. And so do we.
Angelica: What great gardeners.
The end.

## Transcript

Tommy: We could really use your help.
(The Rugrats are reading a book about planets)
Chuckie: What do you think this is a book about?
Phil: The planets.
Chuckie: Oh. Right! (laughs) It is. A book about the planets. Thanks. Come on.
(The Rugrats walk to the bedroom)
Phil: See? Spike is organizing all the books in the book nook. And we're helping out.
(Phil picks up Spike)
Phil: (imitates as Spike) Hey there, Phil. (as himself) Will you help, too?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Phil: Great. Come on.
(The Rugrats walk to the bookcase)
Phil: Hey, Spike. Here's a book about the planets. Where does it go? (imitates as Spike) It goes in the outer space category. (as himself) Oh! Right. In our outer space category.
(Phil as Spike puts the book about the planets in the outer space category)
Phil: (imitates as Spike) Look at these books.
Lil: There's a book about the moon. And one about an astronaut. They're all things about outer space.
Angelica: See? Spike made all these different categories for our books. Like books about outer space, and transportation books, and fairy tale storybooks.
Phil: Hey, Spike. What other categories are there?
(Phil as Spike shows some books about numbers)
Phil: (imitates as Spike) Can you tell which books these are about?
Susie: What do you think these books are about?
Phil: Numbers. Counting.
Susie: Numbers. Counting. Right.
Phil: Amazing job.
Dil: That's a great idea. For a category.
Tommy: Wow. There's just so many things we could read about.
Chuckie: Ooh!
(Chuckie holds the book called "Helen's Hiding Place")
Chuckie: This is one of our favorite books. It's called Helen's Hiding Place. You would love this book.
Phil: Wow. Nice book. You know, maybe we could read a little bit about Helen later today. Hey, Spike. (imitates as Spike) Yes, Phil? (as himself) What do we want to read about? (imitates as Spike) Hmm, I know. You can play my game, Spike's Clues, to figure this out.
(Phil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike)
Phil: Oh! We'll play Spike's Clues to figure out what our friends want to read about.
Lil: So remember, Spike's pawprints will be on the clues: Spike's Clues.
(Phil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Angelica: You know, I can tell we're really gonna need your help today trying to figure out what our friends want to read about. You will help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Angelica: Great. So now, we just have to find the color blue.
(Phil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a picture of the color blue)
Susie: There's a clue. And it's the color blue.
(Phil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Dil: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Dil gets the notebook out of Dil's pocket)
Chuckie: Notebook.
Dil: Notebook. Right. Okay. The color blue.
(Dil opens the notebook)
Dil: We'll use our light blue crayon to make a zig-zag line back and forth. There, the color blue.
(Dil puts the blue crayon down and picks up the normal crayon)
Tommy: So, we're trying to figure out what our friends want to read about. And our first clue is the color blue.
Chuckie: Well, what could we want to read about with the color blue? Maybe. But I think we should find more clues.
(Dil closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Dil's pocket)
Phil: Hey. Now we can read Helen's Hiding Place.
Chuckie: Wow.
Phil: Or maybe later. Hey, Chuckie. What are you doing?
Chuckie: I'm drawing the ocean. But I want to figure out what you could see in the ocean.
(Phil picks Spike out of Phil's pocket)
Phil: (imitates as Spike) Hey, Chuckie. Maybe you could look in a book to figure out what you see in the ocean. (as himself) Hey. Good idea, Spike.
Lil: Chuckie, maybe we can look in a book to help you.
Chuckie: Okay.
Angelica: Will you help Chuckie find a book?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Angelica: Great.
Phil: Here are some books about water.
(Phil takes out some books about water)
Susie: Okay. So, which would be the best book to help Chuckie figure out what he can see in the ocean?
Dil: The book with the waves. And the octopus.
Susie: Oh yeah. That storybook has pictures of the ocean. With an octopus and waves.
Chuckie: And a submarine. Phil, could I borrow this book?
Phil: Of course, Chuckie.
(Phil puts a bookmark on the book)
Phil: Here you go, Chuckie.
Chuckie: Thanks! Thanks, Spike. I'm gonna put a big octopus and a submarine in my picture.
Phil: Cool!
Dil: Wow. What a great idea. You see a book with pictures to help you imagine what something looks like.
Tommy: Good thinking.
Susie: Chuckie said you had a lot of great books here.
Chuckie: Wow. World travels fast.
Phil: That's right.
Susie: I want to practice the alphabet. Can you help me?
Phil: Well, let's take a look in a book and find out. Here are some books about learning.
(Phil takes out some books about learning)
Lil: Okay. So, which of these books would be best to help Susie to practice the alphabet?
Angelica: The book with the letters.
Lil: Oh yeah. That one has letters. So Angelica can practice the letters of the alphabet.
Susie: Look! It starts with A. Then it goes to B.
Angelica: Be sure to let us know how it ends, Susie.
(Phil puts a bookmark on the book)
Phil: Here you go, Susie.
Susie: Thanks.
Phil: Cool!
Susie: Great job. That book will really help me practice the alphabet.
Dil: Maybe we can look in a book to help me.
Tommy: So, Dil wants to find a book that will help him figure out all kinds of bird he looked.
Phil: Here are some books with titles.
(Phil takes out some books with titles)
Chuckie: Let's take a look at the titles of the books.
Phil: We have Billy Bird Goes to the Dentist, Cows Around the World, A Guide to Backyard Birds, and Paula Pony Makes a New Friend.
Lil: Which one of these books would be best for Dil?
Tommy: That one.
Phil: This one. A Guide to Backyard Birds.
Lil: A Guide to Backyard Birds. Let's see.
(Phil opens the book)
Angelica: Oh, yeah. There's pictures and information about lots of different kinds of birds in there.
Susie: Hey, Dil. I think you'll find the bird you're looking for in here.
(Phil puts a bookmark on the book)
Phil: Here's your book, Dil.
Dil: Thanks, Phil. Hey. Nice work.
Phil: Spike, everyone found a book that helped them figure something out. (imitates as Spike) Well done, Phil.
(The Rugrats and Spike start walking including Tommy holds a book about Helen's Hiding Place)
(They walk past by a book of an arrow pointing up)
(Phil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a book of an arrow pointing up)
Tommy: Oh! A clue. And it's pointing up. So, our second clue is up.
(Phil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike)
Chuckie: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Chuckie gets the notebook out of Chuckie's pocket)
Dil: Notebook.
Chuckie: Notebook. Right. Up.
(Chuckie opens the notebook)
Chuckie: Let's draw an arrow for up. There, up.
Phil: So, we're trying to figure out what our friends want to read about. And our first clue was... the color blue. And now our second clue is up.
Lil: So, what could we want to read about with the color blue and up? What do you think? Maybe. But, I think we should find our last clue.
(Chuckie closes the notebook and puts the notebook in Chuckie's pocket)
Angelica: Hey. Now we can read Helen's Hiding Place. But first, we should get the mail.
(Susie sits down in the thinking chair, gets the letter suitcase and gets a letter about books)
Susie: We just got a letter. I wonder who it's from.
(Susie opens the letter)
Susie: It's a letter about books about dinosaurs. Look at that one. And he's going to the volcano. This is an apatosaurus. He's got a long neck. He looks like a tyrannosaurus rex. Ooh! I can see it's mouth. Roar.
(Susie closes the letter)
Phil: (imitates as Spike) Hey, guys! Let's read Helen's Hiding Place. (as himself) Oh, that's a great idea, Spike.
Dil: Now we can finally read Helen's Hiding Place.
Phil: Here we go.
(Tommy opens the book)
Tommy: (reading) Once, there was a little monkey named Helen. Helen wanted to find the best hiding place in the entire jungle.
(Tommy turns the page)
Chuckie: (reading) First, Helen hid behind the banana tree. Do you see her?
Phil: (reading) Well, the parrot saw her, too.
Lil: (reading) I found you! I found you! Squawked the parrot, flapping her wings at Helen.
Phil: Wow.
(Tommy turns the page)
Angelica: (reading) Next, Helen hid under the big leaves. Do you see her?
Susie: (reading) Well, the elephant saw her, too.
Dil: (elephant trumpeting) (reading) I found you! I found you! Trumpeted the elephant, waving his trunk at Helen.
Phil: Nice.
(Tommy turns the page)
Tommy: (reading) Then, Helen hid in a group of monkeys. Do you see her? You do?
Chuckie: (reading) The parrot didn't see her, and the elephant didn't see her, either.
Phil: (reading) I found it! I found it! Whispered Helen. I found the greatest hiding place in the entire jungle! The end.
(Phil closes the book)
Lil: You know, my favorite part is when the elephant waves his big floppy trunk at Helen.
The Rugrats: (elephant trumpeting, laughing)
Angelica: You know, I wonder what elephants use those big trunks for. Hey. Maybe we could look in a book to find out more.
Phil: Cool! Spike. Do you have any books about elephants? (imitates as Spike) Um, no, I don't.
Susie: Where could we find a book about elephants?
Phil: (imitates as Spike) Hey! I have an idea! Follow me, guys.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk to the front door and walk outside)
Phil: Hey, Spike. Are we going to the library? (imitates as Spike) Yeah! Maybe the library has books about elephants. (as himself) Great idea. Then we can find some books about elephants. I love the library. Do you want to come, too?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Phil: Great. Let's go.
(The Rugrats and Spike go inside the library. They see shelves of books)
Dil: Wow. Look at all these books.
Phil: Cool. You think we'll find a book about elephants? (imitates as Spike) Of course.
(ASL Girl appears)
ASL Girl: (signs Oh, hi, guys!)
Tommy: Oh, hi! Do you remember her? She's a librarian. She works at the library.
Chuckie: So, we're looking for a book about elephants, so we can figure out what elephants use their trunks for.
ASL Girl: (signs Well, if you look at the right section, you'll find a book of elephants.)
Phil: Oh. Right. Okay. So, if we look at the right section of the library, we'll find books about elephants.
ASL Girl: (signs Take a look at those signs up there.)
Lil: Okay. Let's take a look at the signs.
Angelica: So, if we want to find a book about elephants, which section should we look at? People and places, machines and vehicles, or plants and animals?
Dil: Plants and animals.
Angelica: Oh. The plants and animals section. Good thinking. Because elephants are animals.
ASL Girl: (signs Follow me!)
(The Rugrats and ASL Girl walk to the plants and animals section)
ASL Girl: (signs These are books about plants.)
Susie: Oh. These are all books about plants.
ASL Girl: (signs And these are the books about animals.)
Dil: These are all books about animals?
ASL Girl: (signs Yeah.)
Tommy: Wow. Look at all the animal books.
Chuckie: I wonder where the elephant books are.
Phil: Let's read the signs. Animals that live underwater, animals that live in the jungle, animals that live in the arctic.
Lil: So, which bookcase would have a book about elephants?
Chuckie: That one. Jungle animals.
Lil: Oh. Good thinking. Because an elephant lives in the jungle.
ASL Girl: (signs Come on.)
(The Rugrats and ASL Girl walk to the jungle animal bookcase)
Angelica: So, these are all books about animals that live in the jungle.
ASL Girl: (signs Exactly.)
Susie: What are all the letters for?
ASL Girl: (signs Oh! These are the letters of the alphabet. A, B, C.)
Susie: Oh! Oh, these are letters of the alphabet. Right.
Dil: Hmm, so, what letter does elephant start with?
Chuckie: E.
Dil: Oh. Right. E is for elephant.
Tommy: Oh. So, the E section has books that have animals whose name starts with the letter E. Like eagles.
ASL Girl: (signs Oh! And elephants!)
Chuckie: And elephants?
Phil: Are these all books about elephants?
ASL Girl: (signs Yeah! Like... a book about An Elephant Family.)
Lil: Oh. So, is this a book about An Elephant Family?
ASL Girl: (signs Uh-huh. Oh! And a book called Ella and Me.)
Angelica: Oh. And is this a book about a girl and an elephant?
ASL Girl: (signs Yep! Oh! And, this book is All About Elephants.)
Susie: Hey. This book is called All About Elephants.
Dil: Do you think this book will help us learn more about elephant trunks? Let's see.
(Tommy opens the book and turns to the page about the elephant's trunk)
Tommy: What's that elephant doing with its trunk?
Chuckie: Yeah. It's spraying water, to give the little one a bath. And this one is using its trunk to pick up food. That's so cool.
Phil: I think we found the perfect book!
Lil: We'd like to borrow this book from the library so we can learn more about elephants.
ASL Girl: (signs Good choice. Follow me.)
(The Rugrats and ASL Girl go to the librarian desk)
ASL Girl: (signs This book needs to be returned in two weeks. Don't forget.)
Angelica: Ah. Okay. So we need to bring this back in two weeks.
Susie: Thanks so much for all your help.
ASL Girl: (signs You're welcome.)
Dil: Bye-bye.
ASL Girl: (signs Bye, guys.)
Tommy: Wow. Great book finding.
(Phil takes Spike's pawprint off of Spike and picks Spike's pawprint on a cloud)
Chuckie: Oh. There's a clue. On that cloud.
(Phil puts Spike's pawprint back on Spike and puts Spike in Phil's pocket)
Phil: You know what we need, our handy-dandy...
(Phil gets the notebook out of Phil's pocket)
Tommy: Notebook.
Phil: Notebook. Right. All right. A cloud.
(Phil opens the notebook)
Phil: We draw a puffy shape that curves around like this... and, it's a cloud.
(Phil closes the notebook)
Lil: We have all three clues.
Angelica: You know what that means. We're ready to sit in our...
Lil: Thinking chair.
Angelica: Thinking chair. Let's go.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk back home, go back to the house and sit down in the thinking chair)
Susie: Okay. Now that we're in our thinking chair, let's think.
Dil: You will help, right?
(The other Rugrats nod their heads yes)
Dil: Great.
Tommy: So, we're trying to figure out what our friends want to read about. And our clues are... the color blue... up... and... a cloud.
Chuckie: Well, what could we want to read about, with the color blue, up, and a cloud?
Phil: Well, we could look up. Yeah. And then we might see the color blue. Yeah. And then a cloud would drift by.
Lil: Well, if we looked up and we saw the color blue and a cloud, what would we be looking at?
Susie: The sky.
Lil: The sky. Yeah. That's it. Our friends want to read a book about the sky.
Angelica: We just figured out Spike's Clues.
Phil: Come on, kids. Let's go read about the sky.
Susie: All right.
(The Rugrats and Spike walk to the bedroom)
Phil: Hey, kids. Did we borrow a book about the sky from the library?
Chuckie: We sure did.
Susie: Remember when we went to the library to find a book to help us figure out what elephants use their trunks for?
Tommy: That's right.
Dil: All right, kids. Are you ready to read our book?
Angelica: We're ready. This is the book's title.
Tommy: Oh. The title is A Trip through the Sky.
(The Rugrats open the book)
Susie: (reading) You can take a trip through the sky on an airplane or a balloon.
Chuckie: (reading) In the sky, you can see the clouds and the sun, and also cloud shapes.
Tommy: (reading) And when the sky turns dark, we see some stars and a moon.
Angelica: (reading) That is where you take a trip through the sky.
The Rugrats: The end.
(The Rugrats close the book)
Chuckie: Wow.
Phil: Hey, Spike. What was your favorite part? (imitates as Spike) My favorite part was the shapes of the clouds. (as himself) Of course. Because you like finding shapes in the clouds.
Lil: What a great book.
Angelica: Wow. Looks like everybody found a book to read today, and we really helped.
The end.
