Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps, Series 3 (Jan. 23, 2010-Apr. 3, 2010)

[Polly drawing a picture --now running out of paper-- asks Mrs. Matilda Mouseling for more paper.]

Polly:
Mom? Pretty please with cheese...? Can I have some paper?

Mrs. Matilda Mouseling:
In a minute, Polly.

[Angelina is unsure of whether she broke the music box --after she hid Polly's music box, put it on a pile of boxes, and it dropped-- but she pleads at it to still work.]

Angelina:
[to the music box and pleading] Please work! Please work! Please work!

[The music box seems to be working again, but then it makes a squealching noise. Polly wakes up from the sound of it.]

Polly:
Huh? What was that loud noise?

A.Z:
I was rapping.

[A.Z makes rapping sounds.]

Polly:
Waltz time.

[Angelina hands Polly the music box. Polly turns on the music box. And the music box makes a distorted music sound.]

Polly:
[gasps] OH NO! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY MUSIC BOX!?

Angelina:
It is fine. Try it again.

[Polly turns on the music box again. The music from Polly's music box makes a distorted music sound. Angelina tries to sing the lyrics to the song from the music box to cover up the fact that it's broken. As Polly waltzes, Angelina --trying to cover up the truth about the music box being broken-- sings to it, but she is interrupted by a sneeze. As a result, she sneezes instead.]

Angelina:
[sneezing] Ah-choo!

Polly:
La, la...! AND "ACHOO"?!

[Then she turns to Angelina about Angelina's song even though the music box is really broken.]

Polly:
THAT'S NOT HOW THE SONG GOES!

[Angelina --still trying to cover up the truth-- continues her song.]

Angelina:
[sings two more hums but sneezes again, this time with a big sneeze and it's bigger than her first sneeze] AH-AH-ACHOO!

Polly:
[about Angelina singing the song] HEY! YOU ARE SINGING THE SONG!

[Now Polly has noticed that Angelina was trying to cover up the truth that the music box was broken, and Angelina did not even tell her. So Polly does notice that her music box is broken.]

Polly:
[about her music box] What is wrong with my music box?

[Polly --knowing that Angelina has been hiding something from her since she broke the music box in the first place-- after asking this, she wants an answer.]

Angelina:
[pointing to one of the boxes on the high stack of boxes where she tried to hide Polly's music box in] It fell off the box and broke.

Polly:
(I know it got broken. But how did it get broken?) How did it get up there?

[Angelina --knowing she has to tell Polly the truth-- explains everything and confesses that she broke the music box.]

Angelina:
Oh...! I am sorry, Polly. I should not have touched it without asking you first.

[While Polly was napping, Angelina was really trying to hide Polly's music box. But to hide it, it broke when Angelina put the music box on a high stack of boxes and it fell down to the floor.]

Polly:
[in between tears and before crying] Oh no! Now Princess Polly cannot waltz! And I love to waltz!

[Polly cries.]

Angelina:
Don't cry Polly.

[Polly cries and a tear rolls down her cheek.]

Angelina:
Maybe I can try to fix it.

[Angelina tries to fix the music box by shaking it. But the wind-up key/wind-up button --attached to the front of the music box and which turns the music on and off-- breaks off and lands on the ground.]

Polly:
[gasps] YOU MADE IT EVEN MORE BROKENER!

[Polly cries.]

Alice:
[to Polly and comforts her] I am sure that you can get a new music box, Polly. (Perhaps your mom can help you fix or replace it.)

Angelina:
[to Alice] I don't think so. It must be very, very, old.

[Polly cries --and this time jumps from foot to foot and crying.]

Polly:
[crying] I NEED MY MUSIC BOX! I WANT TO WALTZ!

AZ:
Wait a minute. You do not need the music box to waltz, Polly.

Angelina:
I heard you playing the harmonica. Do you mind if I come in and listen?

Gracie:
Of course not, Angelina.

Angelina:
I'm sorry I've been such a grouchy mouse.

Gracie:
I'm sorry I ruined your reading. Maybe we could read your book together.

Angelina:
I've got a better idea. Let's do the pirate dance just once before we go to sleep.

Gracie:
Qui.

Polly:
[after hearing from Angelina that Marco cannot speak until 6 o'clock] Oh. I don't like it when Marco does not speak.

[Polly runs up to Marco.]

Polly:
[in a sneaky little sister smile] I am going to make him!

[Polly tickles Marco on the tummy. She does it to make Marco speak. So she says...!]

Polly:
Tickle, tickle, tickle.

[Polly tickles Marco on the tummy --this time pinning him to the floor with herself on him-- and says the same thing while tickling him to make him speak. That is, as she says...!]

Polly:
Tickle, tickle, tickle.

[Marco laughs silently because it tickles. Then Angelina taunts Marco about Polly.]

Angelina:
Sorry, Marco. I wish I could stop her. But I can't tell you how little sisters are! [laughs]

[Angelina upon saying this, she watches in horror. Then with a sneaky smile, she says to Marco she wishes that she could speak for him, but he should know how little sisters are.]

Angelina:
[she is paired up with not Alice; but Marco] But I wanted to pair with Alice! Alice and I already talked about it!

Ms. Mimi:
Sorry, Angelina. But you and Alice always pair up together. And this time I want you to be with someone else (like Marco). That way you can explore different approaches and styles.

[According to Ms. Mimi, Angelina and Alice always pair together. But Ms. Mimi says Angelina should be with someone else so she "explores different approaches and styles". As a result, Angelina is paired with one of the boys. And it is Marco]

[After wasting one too many sheets of paper for the poster]

Ms. Mimi:
[hands Angelina a new sheet of paper for the poster after Angelina has asked for a new one to "start again", but sadly tells Angelina that it is the last one] This is the last one I am afraid, Angelina.

[Angelina takes the sheet of paper. The scene cuts to the dance studio.]

Angelina:
[to Marco about the last piece of paper] Well, I don't know what to do!

[Angelina gets an idea of a nature dance without any little sisters around. Earlier, in the bumblebee dance, Polly --who wanted to be a bumblebee like Angelina and the big girls-- showed up and tried to tag along with Angelina. And she pretended to be a bee.]

Angelina:
[to Vicki, Alice, and Gracie] I have the most stupendous idea where we can go.

[Angelina and the other girls --Vicki, Alice, and Gracie-- exit down the stairs and off to the park.]

Angelina:
Lots of nature. And no little sisters.

[The scene cuts to Polly and Mrs. Mouseling. Polly snuggles onto her mom's lap and cries. Polly is crying because she does not ever get to spend time with Angelina and her friends. Angelina was nasty to her when Polly herself was trying to be a bumblebee with Angelina, Vicki, Alice, and Gracie. Polly was tagging along when Angelina and her friends were doing the bumblebee dance. And she wanted to be a bee with Angelina and the other big girls. Tears roll down Polly's cheeks, and Polly --because she never gets to spend time with Angelina and the big girls-- cries.]

Polly:
[in between tears] That's not fair. I wanted to stay and be a bee with all the big girls.

[Polly --after saying this-- resumes crying. Mrs. Mouseling comforts Polly. She hugs Polly on her lap after Angelina had made her cry. And Mrs. Mouseling, she says to Polly...!]

Mrs. Mouseling:
[to Polly] I know dear.

[Mrs. Mouseling --with Polly on her lap-- hugs Polly.]

Mrs. Mouseling:
[continues to Polly] But you will be a big girl one day.

[Polly stops crying. It is not long until Angelina has asked her mom about doing a nature dance at the park.]

Angelina:
Mom? Can we bring a snack?

Gracie:
To take out to the park?

Alice:
We need to get lots of ideas from nature.

Mrs. Mouseling:
[giggles] I do not see why not.

[Polly has just heard about going to the park. Then she asks Angelina if she can come.]

Polly:
Hooray!

[Polly invites herself over.]

Polly:
[to Angelina] May I come?

[Angelina thinks sadly and sighs. In a concerned expression, she tries to think whether she should let Polly join her and her friends Alice, Vicki, and Gracie at the park for nature dances. However, she really wants it to not happen because she left out Polly when Polly wanted to be a bumblebee like the big girls. It seems that Angelina is unsure of whether or not Polly should join.]

Polly:
[asks Angelina again] Pretty please with cheese?

[After Polly's "cry" and complaint about her always being left out on spending time with Angelina and the other big girls, Mrs. Mouseling turns to Angelina.]

Mrs. Mouseling:
[tells Angelina to be a good big sister and invite her little sister Polly] Please, Angelina. Please be a good big sister now.

[Angelina sighs again upon hearing this from Mrs. Mouseling-- to "be a good big sister" and let Polly come. Polly was crying because she never gets to spend time with Angelina and the other big girls. So as a result, after Angelina's mother tells Angelina to be a good big sister on Polly, Polly gets to join. Then the scene cuts to the park. Polly has invited herself along to the park with Angelina and her friends. And what's more, since Mrs. Mouseling told Angelina to "be a good big sister" and let Polly come, Angelina is forced to take Polly along on the collaboration with her friends.]

Polly:
[mimics a bumblebee again] Bzz! Bzz! Bzz! Bzz! Bzzzz!

[The scene goes to Angelina and Gracie --who are taking a picnic basket with after school snacks inside-- and Angelina turns to Polly and looks at her who is still acting like a bumblebee.]

Angelina:
[annoyed and to Polly who is still pretending to be a bee] Okay, relax Polly! We are not being bees anymore!

[As a result, Angelina thinks it is bad enough that Polly was being a bumblebee when she and the other girls were doing the "Flight of the Bumblebee" dance for nature dances and has to deal with it. But now, she is forced to take Polly along on the collaboration with her friends for other nature dances --which is to the park-- after Polly invited herself. And she has to deal with that too.]

Angelina:
[to her friends] NO SHE IS NOT! SHE IS JUST SHOWING OFF! SHE IS RUINING EVERYTHING!

[Angelina is sick and tired of Polly tagging along and inviting herself.]

Angelina:
[to her friends] We are never going to have our dance ready! I wish Polly just stayed at home!

[At that, what Angelina means by that is, she wishes that Polly would disappear. Angelina glares at Polly. The scene cuts to the teary-eyed Polly. Polly --hearing this from her nasty big sister-- tearfully looks at Angelina. Then she stands up and runs away crying. Vicki calls out after her and --offscreen-- comforts her.]

Angelina:
[to Alice and Gracie] I am tired of Polly always tagging along all the time! She is always getting in the way!
