WordGirl, Season 2

Ms. Ripley:
Well then, I say, let’s get this party started! But first, I’d like to announce the grand prize. The student who earns the most points at the end of the day will win-- THIS! Authentic, super-deluxe teacher-only magic markers! Woo! [She pulls a package of magic markers from inside the trophy, and holds them up. Becky's eyes light up.]

Becky:
[sighs] Only the teachers get those! Think of all the beautiful words I could write!

Tobey:
That’s the prize? You expect me to slave away in the direct sunlight to win some magical ink pens? [raises his hand] Mrs. Ripley? I- I’m afraid I’m unable to participate in your day of silly games. [He starts to walk away, but she jumps in front of him.]

Ms. Ripley:
Unable to participate? What’s the matter?

Tobey:
Uh… side ache. Yes, oh, my side. It aches.

Ms. Ripley:
Ohhh, I’m so sorry! Go to the nurse’s office immediately!

Becky:
What’s the matter, Tobey? Afraid you won’t win?

Tobey:
What? O- Of course I can win if I wanted to, I just don’t want to.

Scoops:
It’s okay if you don’t win, you know. I’m just looking forward to having a good time with my friends.

Violet:
Yeah, don’t be afraid. Just playing the games is fun.

Becky:
I’m in it for the markers.

Tobey:
Well, thank you all for sharing! Now before I go, let me assure you I am stronger, faster, and just generally better than all of you. I have the agility of a cougar and the strength of a lion, goodbye. [As he walks off, he trips on something and hits the ground. The kids laugh, causing him to get angry.] Fine. I’ll take part in the competition, but mark my words, I’m going to win those markers, not because I want them, but to show you that I, Tobey, am a winner! Ha-ha-ha-ha! And-- I’ll be right back.
