WordGirl, Season 2

[TJ is in Becky's room playing with one of her unicorns and Becky comes into the room with Bob.]

Becky:
TJ, I told you to quit going into my room! [gasps] And why are you holding Angelface?

TJ:
Because I like him! He’s cool!

Becky:
Put him down, please!

TJ:
Wait, wait, watch. He can do tricks!

Becky:
No-no, d--

[He tosses Angelface into the air and catches it.]

TJ:
Air somersaults! [he tosses it again, but misses. This is followed by a slow-motion reaction shot from Becky.]

Becky:
Nnnnnnn-oooooooo!

[The unicorn slowly falls to the floor and shatters. Becky’s face changes from panic into anger.]

TJ:
Uh-oh.

Becky:
[grabs TJ by the shirt] TJ Botsford, you’re NEVER allowed to go into my room AGAIN!

[Tim comes up to them.]

Tim:
For the love of jellybeans, what’s all the ruckus? You know I need quiet when I’m working on my Sudoku's.

[Bob holds up the shattered pieces of the unicorn.]

Becky:
Look!

[Tim gasps and hides his face]

TJ:
Becky, it-- it was an accident!

Becky:
Well, it never would have happened if you stayed out of my room like you’re supposed to!

Tim:
She’s got you there, son.

TJ:
But, I like to play with the unicorns. And if they’re in her room, that’s where I’ve gotta go.

Tim:
Hmm. Looks like we have a sibling disagreement on our hands.

Becky:
I wish I never HAD a sibling! [Becky goes back into her room and slams the door shut.]

TJ:
: She hates me.

Tim:
You know, getting along with a sibling isn’t always easy.

TJ Why do you keep saying that word? What is a sibling?

Tim:
Oh, a sibling is a-- um… well you see, TJ, in a family--there are...

[Becky impatiently opens her door.]

Becky:
I’LL DO IT! A sibling is an individual who shares one or both parents with another person! [Becky goes back in her room and closes the door, but then she opens it once again.] So a sibling is a brother or sister just like a parent is a mom or dad! [She closes the door, then opens it again.] Mom and Dad are both our parents, so that makes us siblings! UNFORTUNATELY! [She closes the door again.]

Tim:
I was just about to say… all the things she just said. Wow, that-- good job, Becky!

Becky:
[through the door] You’re welcome.
