WordGirl, Season 2

[Tobey and his mother pull up in their vehicle.]

Claire:
This is going to be an important trip for you, Tobey, because you’re going to learn to appreciate nature. And hopefully grow out of this silly robot phase.

Tobey:
Yes, Mother. That would make sense, except that nature is a thing of the past! Technology and robots are--

Claire:
TOBEY! No robots! I don’t want a repeat of what happened last summer at basketball camp!

[#1 flashback scene from basketball camp. Johnson is trying to play defense against one of Tobey’s robots, but it leaps over him and dunks the basket. Tobey exclaims, “I win again!”]

Claire:
Or two summers ago at baseball camp!

[#2 flashback scene from baseball camp, showing Johnson pitching to one of Tobey’s robots, which uses a telephone pole as a bat and sends the ball flying. Tobey exclaims, “I win again.” and Johnson says, “Aw, that was our last ball!”]

Claire:
Or last, last, LAST summer at drama camp!

[#3 flashback scene from drama camp as Johnson dressed as Macbeth and holding a skull, exclaiming, “To be or not to be, that is the question.” The robot responds, “My data indicates the answer is ‘to be’.” Tobey exclaims, “I win again!” Johnson shouts, “That doesn’t even make sense in this situation!”]

Claire:
I mean it, Tobey! No giant robots, end of story! You need to be more independent, and learn to do things on your own!

[Tobey is now standing outside the car talking to her.]

Tobey:
Okay Mother, I promise. No giant robots!

[She drives off. Once she is gone, Tobey ponders to himself.]

Tobey:
I didn’t say anything about SMALL robots that turn INTO giant robots! Heh-heh-heh-heh!

[He retrieves a small robot from his pocket and sets it on the ground. He presses a button on a remote, and the robot grows to giant size.]
