00:55 >> Today's featured words are "antsy" and "obligation."
00:56 >> Congratulations!
00:58 You've been invited to Becky Botsford's birthday party!
01:01 And this year, the Botsfords have planned a party so big
01:03 and so exciting that I can only describe it by turning on
01:05 my echo machine and saying it's going to be...
01:08 >> The greatest party ever!
01:11 >> Party party!
01:14 >> Becky, you'd better buckle up, because your mother and I
01:16 have spent the last three months planning this party,
01:18 and it's going to be...
01:20 >> The greatest party ever!
01:22 Party party!
01:24 >> The greatest party ever!
01:26 [screaming]
01:30 This year, your father and I went a little overboard!
01:33 >> We've planned one amazing surprise after another.
01:36 >> Oh, please tell me what they are! I can't wait!
01:38 >> I know you're antsy, but before we get started,
01:41 I just need to put the cake in the oven.
01:42 It should be done baking by the end of the party.
01:44 [screaming]
01:46 >> Okay, okay, put the cake in the oven.
01:48 Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!
01:49 >> Becky, if you want to jump up and down,
01:51 don't you think it might be a little more fun if you did it
01:53 in this super-sized bouncy castle?
01:56 >> Wow!
01:58 Wow, this really is the greatest party ever.
02:00 >> It's your special day, Becky. Enjoy it.
02:03 >> I will, I will, I will!
02:06 >> Please, somebody help!
02:08 >> Yep, Bob, I heard that too.
02:10 And as much as I want to jump in this giant bouncy castle,
02:13 we have an obligation to help the people of the city.
02:16 Oh, well, when you have an obligation,
02:18 it means you've made a promise to do something.
02:20 Since we promised to protect this city,
02:22 that's our obligation.
02:24 So come on, let's go take care of our obligation
02:26 and then come right back and bounce!
02:28 [screaming]
02:30 >> Meanwhile, at the local sandwich shop...
02:34 >> Everyone, stay back or I'm going to spray you all
02:36 with hot deli mustard, and the really spicy kind,
02:39 because if any gets on your tongue, it will burn so bad,
02:42 you'll have to take a sip of milk!
02:44 Ha, ha, ha, ha! I am bad!
02:46 >> Hey, why are you doing this?
02:48 >> Because I'm supposed to be the sandwich king,
02:50 and I don't want anyone eating sandwiches
02:52 that aren't made by me!
02:54 >> But these people, they come here to eat my sandwiches.
02:56 Do you understand that, Mr. Sandwich Head?
02:59 >> Can you please not call me Sandwich Head?
03:01 >> I'm sorry, pal, but, uh, hey,
03:03 you realize you get a sandwich for a head, right?
03:05 >> Yes, but I prefer to be called a nickname
03:07 that's a little more... >> Word Girl.
03:09 >> Word Girl? What?
03:11 No, that makes no sense!
03:13 >> No, not you, Sandwich Head. Her.
03:15 >> Word Girl!
03:16 >> That's right, Chuck the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy!
03:18 Now put down the condiment ray
03:20 and leave these people alone!
03:22 >> Forget it, Word Girl! No one tells me what to do!
03:25 Except my mom, and sometimes my brother.
03:29 You remember my brother Brent, don't you?
03:31 The handsome... >> Yeah, yeah.
03:32 Can we just do this? I really don't have the time.
03:34 >> It's 12.30.
03:36 >> I know the time, I just don't have the time.
03:39 >> Boy, Word Girl, you really seem antsy.
03:41 Are you in a rush or something?
03:43 >> Yes, I am!
03:45 >> Why'd you have to do that?
03:47 >> Because I have an obligation
03:48 to protect these people from you!
03:50 >> Word Girl, thank you so much.
03:51 There's got to be some way I can make it up to you.
03:53 >> Yes! In fact, I know just the way.
03:55 Keep an eye on Chuck until the police arrive to pick him up
03:57 because right now I really have to go.
03:59 Thank you! Bye!
04:00 >> Boy, she did seem antsy, though, didn't she?
04:02 >> Huggie, now that we've taken care of our obligations,
04:05 it's bouncy castle time!
04:07 Whoa, wait. What's going on?
04:12 >> Becky, there you are!
04:14 >> Have you been in the bouncy castle the whole time?
04:17 >> Wow, you must have been having so much fun!
04:19 >> Oh, yeah, tons of fun.
04:21 Um, where is everybody?
04:22 >> They're right over there,
04:23 playing with your next surprise!
04:25 >> This isn't just the greatest party ever.
04:32 It's the greatest thing that happened to me!
04:34 >> Go ride those ponies, Becky.
04:36 >> I will. I will!
04:39 >> Please, somebody help! I can't.
04:43 >> I know we have an obligation to help them,
04:45 but we can take one little pony ride.
04:47 >> Ahem, ahem.
04:49 >> What?
04:50 >> I think Bob was making a good point.
04:52 >> But... but it's ponies.
04:55 >> Trust me, the last thing I want to do is spoil your pony party.
04:58 But if there's one thing I know about Word Girl,
05:00 it's that she won't let anything keep her from helping the people of this city.
05:04 Anything!
05:05 Even pretty, pretty magical pony princesses!
05:08 >> You're right, I guess she won't.
05:11 >> Come on, Bob.
05:13 Word up!
05:15 >> Back at the sandwich shop.
05:17 >> Okay, everybody stay back while I untie my friend Chuck.
05:20 >> Thank you. I couldn't wait for somebody to set me free.
05:23 Being tied up was making me antsy.
05:26 >> What did she see?
05:27 >> What?
05:28 >> Well, I can define the word "antsy" because "antsy" means "impatient."
05:32 You feel antsy when there's something you really want to be doing
05:34 and you just can't wait any longer.
05:36 And that's why I feel antsy right now.
05:38 I don't have the time!
05:39 >> It's 1.15.
05:41 >> Now, the police will be here any minute.
05:45 It's their obligation to take you criminals to jail.
05:48 In the meantime...
05:49 >> Tell you what I'll do. I'll keep my eye on these guys.
05:51 Make sure they don't try to escape again.
05:53 >> Please do.
05:54 >> Word Girl and Captain Huggy Face race back to the party.
05:57 >> What happened to the ponies?
05:59 Why are they sleeping?
06:01 >> Well, they're sleeping because they're tired from all the fun they were having with you kids.
06:04 >> You kids must have been having so much fun!
06:07 We were busy in the backyard setting up the biggest birthday surprise of them all!
06:11 I can't keep it inside!
06:13 >> We couldn't take all you kids to the amusement park, so...
06:16 we brought the amusement park to you!
06:19 >> Wow!
06:20 This isn't just the greatest thing that's ever happened to me.
06:22 This is the greatest thing that's ever happened to anybody!
06:25 >> Enjoy it, Becky.
06:27 >> I will! I will! I...
06:29 >> Please, somebody help. We're third time here.
06:32 >> I don't believe this.
06:34 >> Don't worry, you two. I'll get you out of here.
06:37 Us food-based villains have to stick together, you know.
06:40 >> Seriously, can you please stop untying each other?
06:43 >> Boy, were you right. She really is antsy today.
06:46 >> Told you.
06:47 >> Can we please just hurry this up already? I don't have the time!
06:50 >> It's 2.15.
06:51 >> That's it! Everyone to jail!
06:54 >> Where's she going in such a hurry?
06:57 >> Huggy, for the rest of the day, I'm just going to enjoy my birthday.
07:01 And I'm not going to let my obligations get in my way.
07:04 Oh no, it's the Energy Monster!
07:06 >> Maybe he's just out for a stroll in this lovely weather we're having.
07:10 Or not.
07:13 >> Energy Monster, you picked the wrong day to mess with me.
07:18 The wrong day.
07:21 [Bruits d'action]
07:49 >> Giant Ferris Wheel, here I come!
07:51 >> Whoa, Becky, hold up! Those rides aren't working anymore.
07:55 >> What?
07:56 >> Someone must have knocked out the power. I'm sorry, Becky.
07:58 Obviously that someone didn't know that today was your birthday.
08:01 >> Oh, does this mean the party's over?
08:04 >> I guess it does, but hey, we sure had a lot of fun, didn't we?
08:07 >> I did! This is the greatest party ever!
08:10 There'll never be a better one than this! Never ever ever!
08:13 >> Oh, but it can't end right now!
08:15 >> Well, it's not over just yet. We still haven't eaten the cake!
08:19 >> Um, is it supposed to be glowing like that?
08:22 >> I don't know. I did use a new recipe.
08:25 >> Then I'm sure that's the reason.
08:27 >> Okay, Becky, make a wish.
08:30 >> Wish for something you really, really want.
08:33 >> I'll make a wish. I wish I hadn't missed my birthday party.
08:36 I wish I didn't have all the obligations of a superhero.
08:38 I wish I was just Becky Bosford, a normal little girl.
08:42 I wish I wasn't Word Girl. I wish there never was a Word Girl!
08:46 >> Hmm. So what'd you wish for, Beck?
08:49 >> I can't tell you.
08:51 >> I know what I'd wish for. To meet my favorite hero.
08:54 Chuck the Awesome Sandwich King!
08:56 >> Thought your favorite hero was Word Girl.
08:58 >> Who's Word Girl?
08:59 >> You know. Flies around, defeats villains, defines words.
09:02 You think she's the most awesome person in the world. Word Girl.
09:05 >> Uh, never heard of her.
09:07 >> Yes, Becky, who is this Word Girl you're talking about?
09:09 That sounds like a made-up person.
09:11 >> With a catchy name like that, you'd think I'd have heard of her.
09:14 But I haven't!
09:16 >> What is going on?
09:18 What happened to the city?
09:20 >> I don't know what you're talking about, Becky.
09:22 It's another great day here in Chuck-topia.
09:24 >> Chuck-topia?
09:26 >> I'm not just king of the sandwiches. I'm the king of the world!
09:31 Ooh!
09:33 >> Oh, no! What have I done?
09:35 >> Can't wait to find out what happens next.
09:37 You won't have to feel antsy for too long.
09:39 Now that we've shown you part one, we have an obligation to show you part two.
09:43 So don't miss the next exciting episode of Chuck-topia!
09:47 Kidding. Word Girl!
09:49 >> Word Girl!
09:51 Word Girl!
09:54 >> Listen for the words "unusual" and "enchanted."
09:57 >> What happened to the city?
09:59 >> I don't know what you're talking about, Becky.
10:01 It's another great day here in Chuck-topia.
10:03 I'm not just king of the sandwiches. I'm the king of the world!
10:07 Ooh!
10:09 >> Oh, no! What have I done?
10:11 >> We're kind of starting right in the middle of the story here.
10:14 Do you mind if I bring everyone up to speed?
10:16 >> Sure. Go ahead.
10:18 >> Thank you.
10:19 Becky was frustrated that her obligations as Word Girl made her miss her own birthday party.
10:22 So she wished on her birthday cake that Word Girl never existed.
10:24 And poof! The wish came true and she was just Becky Botsford and normal girl.
10:27 >> Mom, Dad, what did you put in that cake?
10:30 >> Flour, eggs, butter.
10:32 >> And there was that big energy monster power surge that happened while it was in the oven.
10:36 >> Oh, that's right! That was very unusual.
10:39 >> Warning! If electrified, cake may become enchanted.
10:42 [laughing]
10:49 Good one, gang! Real funny birthday surprise!
10:51 Getting Chuck to pretend he's the king of the city.
10:53 The whole enchanted cake thing.
10:55 For a second there, I actually believed it!
10:58 >> Is Chuck the awesome sandwich-making king still here?
11:01 Oh, I missed him.
11:03 >> Joke's over, TJ, but nice try.
11:05 And his name isn't Chuck the awesome sandwich-making king.
11:08 Everybody knows it's Chuck the evil sandwich-making guy.
11:11 Right, Mom and Dad?
11:13 >> Um...
11:14 >> What's wrong with you, Becky?
11:15 >> Wait. This really isn't a joke?
11:17 >> You know this is Chuck-topia, the land of many sandwiches.
11:21 And Chuck is king.
11:23 >> Oh, come on, Bob.
11:25 We've got to figure out what's going on.
11:27 I've got to run. I forgot about my...
11:30 >> Sandwich-making class?
11:31 >> What? Um, sure. Sandwich-making class. Later!
11:34 This is really strange, Bob.
11:36 When I made my wish to not be Word Girl anymore,
11:39 I didn't think other things would change, too.
11:41 That enchanted cake has some strange magical powers.
11:44 Hey, that's where the jewelry store should be.
11:48 And those statues of Chuck aren't normally there.
11:51 That's very unusual.
11:53 Oh, you don't know what unusual means?
11:55 Well, when something is different than it normally is,
11:58 we say it's unusual. Like that store over there.
12:00 Every time we've looked at it before, it's been a jewelry store, right?
12:03 But suddenly it changed into a sandwich shop.
12:05 That's unusual.
12:07 If something is usually one way, but then it changes and becomes not usual,
12:11 we say it's unusual.
12:12 >> Attention, citizens of Chuck-topia.
12:16 It is time for sandwich talk.
12:19 Everyone must use sandwich words starting now.
12:24 >> Got it.
12:25 That hat is so pickle.
12:27 >> Why, thank you. I bought it salami days ago.
12:30 >> What is going on?
12:31 You're using words the wrong way. I can't stand it.
12:34 >> And I just mayonnaise your coat.
12:37 How much did it cost?
12:38 >> It was a bargain at mustard dollars and ketchupy ketchup cents.
12:41 >> That's just not right.
12:43 Pickle doesn't mean good, and salami isn't a number.
12:46 This is wrong. You're all wrong.
12:49 >> You can't disobey King Chuck's orders.
12:51 >> That's the police. Now you're in trouble.
12:53 Sheriff Butcher is going to take you to jail.
12:55 >> Okay, this is silly. The Butcher isn't a police officer. He's a criminal.
12:59 >> You're the criminal, little girl, and you're under arrest.
13:02 >> The Butcher.
13:03 >> See the badge? That's Sheriff Butcher to you, kid.
13:06 >> Thank you very mustard for showing up so quickly, Sheriff Butcher.
13:10 >> Don't worry, sir. Just doing my job.
13:12 >> You're under arrest for distributing the peace.
13:15 >> Don't you mean disturbing the peace?
13:17 >> And you're in trouble for correcting people's grammar and choice of words.
13:20 In Chuck-topia, we talk the way King Chuck tells us to.
13:23 Now let's go.
13:25 >> Let's let Word Girl handle this one.
13:27 Word up!
13:29 Oh, right. So how are we supposed to fight the Butcher?
13:34 >> Sheriff Butcher to King Chuck. I'm bringing in two troublemakers. Let's go.
13:38 >> We'll never see them again.
13:41 >> Thank you, Sheriff Butcher.
13:43 >> You're a real pastrami police officer.
13:45 [Musique]
14:09 >> Who dares break the rules of Chuck, the awesome sandwich-making king?
14:14 >> Excuse me, um, King Chuck, but I don't know all of your rules.
14:18 You see, we're new in town and...
14:20 >> Rule number one. When it's time to use sandwich words, we use sandwich words.
14:25 >> Isn't that kind of silly?
14:26 >> Hey, it's not silly.
14:28 >> Number two. All the stores must be sandwich stores.
14:32 >> But what about the jewelry store and the furniture store? I mean...
14:35 >> Hey, quit asking all those questions.
14:37 >> Rule number three, and this is a big one. Everyone must eat nothing but sandwiches,
14:44 except for your birthday, when you're allowed to eat cake.
14:47 >> How did you ever become the king of the city in the first place?
14:49 >> Hey, I will indulge her. You see, I started out as a mediocre villain.
14:55 >> But there was no superhero to stop me.
14:57 >> And I started to get better and better. And I took over.
15:02 [Laughs]
15:03 >> Yeah, I love those superheroes. Yeah!
15:06 [Ring]
15:08 >> There's the sandwich bell. Sandwich time.
15:11 >> It's nice to be king.
15:13 >> Man, it's like this sandwich cast a magical spell on me. Cannot look away.
15:18 >> I'm so captivated by this sandwich, I probably wouldn't have noticed if the girl and her monkey ran away.
15:25 [Squeak]
15:26 >> Mmm.
15:29 >> Good sandwich.
15:32 [Music]
15:34 >> This getaway sure would be easier with superpowers.
15:42 >> Ah!
15:43 >> Well, how was I supposed to know the whole world would be different after my wish?
15:46 Let's hide in here.
15:48 [Siren]
15:50 >> Becky! There you are.
15:54 >> Dad, what are you doing here?
15:55 >> I'm eating a sandwich, of course. It's the only thing I ever eat. Every day, the same thing.
16:00 >> Here's your sandwich, just like always.
16:03 >> Doctor too, Raines.
16:04 >> Doctor? Oh, I used to be a doctor, but that was a long time ago.
16:09 Now I'm the sub-junior assistant manager of Chuck's Sandwich Shop.
16:13 >> Well, when Chuck became the king of Chuck-topia, he told me I had to hang up my lab coat and work here instead.
16:25 >> It's a real drag.
16:28 [Sigh]
16:30 >> If only I had a piece of enchanted birthday cake. I'd wish for things to be different.
16:35 >> Enchanted birthday cake? Well, that's what got me into this mess and made the world all mixed up.
16:39 You see, today is my birthday, and I was so...
16:41 >> Um, do you mind if we skip to the end? We already went over this.
16:44 >> Oh, absolutely. Go ahead.
16:45 >> Thanks.
16:46 >> One minute later...
16:47 >> So if I had known the cake was enchanted, I might not have made the wish in the first place.
16:51 >> You keep using the word "enchanted." Does it have something to do with the flavor of the frosting?
16:55 >> No, no, no. Uh, no. If something is enchanted, that means it has strong magical powers or is under a spell.
17:02 Enchanted could even describe someone who seems to be under a spell.
17:05 For example, Bob seems enchanted by that sandwich.
17:09 >> Hey, if you still have that enchanted birthday cake, make another wish on it and get things back to normal.
17:15 >> We ate all the cake at the party.
17:17 >> Well, then I guess we're stuck here after all.
17:20 [Squeaking]
17:21 >> What's that, Bob? You didn't eat your piece!
17:23 >> Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go find that enchanted cake and get things back to normal.
17:28 >> King Chuck, I found the girl and the monkey. Bring the crusher and we'll take care of them.
17:47 >> Uh-oh, Dad, we've got company.
17:52 [Explosion]
17:53 >> Nobody disobeys King Chuck and gets away with it. Stop them, butcher.
18:00 >> Hey!
18:13 >> Aaaaaah!
18:15 >> Peshkabi attack!
18:19 >> Peshkabi on the left!
18:20 >> Got it!
18:21 >> All right, I'll do fooling around.
18:25 >> Grand West Mazooka!
18:28 >> There's no way around it. We're stuck.
18:33 >> Good thinking, Bob. Try to eat your way through it.
18:37 >> Hurry, Bob!
18:41 >> What an unusual day.
18:43 >> Bob isn't chewing fast enough.
18:45 >> Now I've got you.
18:48 >> Is that cheese?
18:50 >> Let the girl go, King Chuck. It's her birthday and she needs to make her wish.
18:55 >> Hey, butcher, get him with one of your meat attacks.
18:59 >> Flitz-o-shish-a-ba!
19:02 >> The cheese is gumming up the works.
19:09 >> I can't dizzy.
19:11 >> Dr. Two-Brain?
19:12 >> Hey there, Becky.
19:13 >> I thought you worked at the sandwich shop. Where'd you get the blimp?
19:16 >> This? Oh, I build this stuff in my spare time. I hoped someday it would come in handy.
19:21 >> Good work, Captain Huggy Face.
19:23 >> Captain Huggy Face?
19:25 >> Let's go, Dad.
19:26 >> Going!
19:27 >> Thanks for the save.
19:28 >> You're welcome.
19:29 >> Come here, King Chuck. Oh, I'm not finished with you yet.
19:32 >> Bob, cake, Dad, candle, let's do this.

19:48 >> I wish that Word Girl exists and that everything would go back to the way it used to be.
19:52 >> Mom, is Chuck the king of the city?

20:25 >> Oh, that's nice to hear, honey. Now let's keep enjoying your birthday party.
