Dinner or Consequences/Transcript


 * Narrator: And now we begin part two of our incredibly exciting blockbuster two-part story! Now, as you may recall, in part one--
 * Sally: In a minute, Mr. Narrator.
 * Narrator: Oh.
 * Sally: Becky, I can't believe you would miss your father's special family dinner not once, but twice.
 * Becky: Mom, I swear, I missed those dinners because Scoops and I had to stop Two-Brains and the Energy Monster from turning the city into cheese.
 * Tim: Uh, sorry, Becky, but we all know that WordGirl is the only one amazing and super powerful enough to do all that.
 * Becky: Oh, yeah, WordGirl. Isn't she great?
 * TJ: Oh, Becky. First you miss two family dinners, and now you're putting down WordGirl?


 * Becky: Will someone just tell me what mega-grounded means?!


 * Becky: Does mega-groundeding also mean I have to hear the punishment from him?
 * Tim: Um, yes, I'm afraid you do.


 * Becky: Um, I don't own a unicycle.
 * TJ: Well, don't buy one because you are mega-grounded! Ha ha!
 * Becky: Mom, Dad?!
 * Tim: I'm sorry, but we said there'd be consequences for missing dinner, and you can rely on us to keep our word.
 * TJ: By the way, you might want to take a look in your room.
 * Becky: What? Wha-- all my things.


 * Becky: They've vanished!
 * TJ: Yes, I know.
 * Becky: You took all my toys?


 * TJ: I'm sorry, but the punishment is final.
 * Becky: Actually, there is one last thing I can do to prove my innocence. I'm going to rely on an old Botsford tradition-- the family trail.
 * TJ: There's no such thing as a family trail.
 * (Tim arrives)
 * Tim: Actually, TJ if you studided our family history, you'd know that a Botsford can rely on the family trial to settle any dispute.
 * TJ: So Becky can use the family trail to wiggle out of her punishment? We shall see about that.


 * Dr. Two-Brains: Oh, come on! Do you really to handcuff us?
 * Police Officer: I'm sorry, Two-Brains. Oh, Dr. Two-Brains, you don't know the Energy Monster is disappeared. It seems like it vanished.
 * Dr. Two-Brains: Ooh! Set me free, and I'll help you look for it!
 * Police Officer: Oh, oh! Nice try. That was good. Huh. Where did that Energy Monster go? Has to be around here somewhere. I better call for some backup. Uh, this is Officer--Hey! What's with my walkie-talkie? It's acting all weird.
 * Sally: I now call to order. You can rely on me to be a fair and honest judge.
 * Tim: You're already doing a wonderful job, Honey.
 * Sally: Thank you, Sweetie-Pie.
 * Becky: Mom.
 * Sally: You're right. From now on, please call me Judge Botsford.
 * Tim: You got it, Honey.
 * Sally: We'll begin with the prosecution. That means we'll start by hearing Mr. Botsford's side of the story.
 * Tim: I'm going to let my lawyer handle that, T.J.?
 * TJ: Thank you.


 * TJ: But there is one thing I know in my heart-- When a father works all day over a hot, spicy stove to cook his family a special feast. Shouldn't his family be there to enjoy that feast?
 * Becky: Err.


 * TJ: Judge, I present to you my client's spicy surprise. This is the meal which the defendant. Miss Becky Botsford in her selffishness. Didn't even deign to eat.


 * TJ: You see, when my client, Dad. Served up this spicy surprise. Miss Becky Botsford served up a little surprise of her own. She didn't show up for dinner. It was as if she had disappeared vanished! Well, you know what's also vanished? A father's trust in his only daughter.
 * Tim: I thought I could rely on you, Becky!
 * Sally: Order! Order!
 * Tim: Sorry, sorry.
 * TJ: Ladies and gentlemen, my clients tears speak more elequ--say more than I ever could. The prosecution rests its case. And its feet. Ahh.
 * Becky: Judge? Judge!?
 * Sally: I'm sorry. That was beautiful.
 * TJ: No, please, please. Keep it up, I Love it.
 * Becky: Bob, what am I gonna-- Oh. Not you, too.
 * Narrator: And so while Becky tries to get herself out of trouble. Two-Brains is trying to figure out how to get himself out of jail.


 * Police Officer: Because I'm keeping an eye on you. And there's no way that you can vanish from my sight.
 * Dr. Two-Brains: Oh, well, that's fine with me. Yeah, just keep your eyes right here and don't look anywhere else.
 * Police Officer: Two-Brains, that's the oldest trick in the book. Well, I'm not falling for it. I am going to concentrate entirely on you. Hey, Peanut Butter Crackers!
 * Dr. Two-Brains: Ha Ha! Ha Ha Ha! Thank you, Peanut Butter Crackers! I knew I could rely on you, Energy Mon-- Sorry, Maria. Now, come on. Let's vanish!


 * Becky: Mr. Ming--
 * TJ: Objection!
 * Sally: There's nothing to object yet.
 * Becky: Where have you been these last two nights?
 * Scoops: Um, Becky, don't you remember? You were with me.
 * Becky: It's a trial, Scoops. I ask questions you answer them so everyone can hear.
 * Scoops: Oh, I gotcha.
 * Becky: So where you been these last two nights, Mr. Ming?
 * Scoops: Well, Becky and everybody so you can hear me, I spent the last two nights investigating a serious crime, and I was relying on Becky here to help me.
 * Becky: Right. And when you rely on someone, it means that you depend on them to be there for you. Scoops was relying on me to help figure out who was behind a crime that was threatening the whole city. Isn't that right, Scoops?
 * Becky: Miss Botsford! Are we really supposed to believe that ordinary Becky Botsford is a crime-fighting hero files around saving cities? Oh, please!
 * Becky: Well, I know it may sound ridiculous, but I have evidence. I submit to the court exhibit "A," a helmet that I confiscated. It was built by the evil Dr. Two-Brains and worn by the Energy Monster.
 * TJ: Objection. How are we supposed to know that's not just some toy you bought at a toy store?
 * Becky: Well, um, um...
 * Narrator: How about I go another scene and then come back?
 * (Sally smiley nod)
 * Narrator: Meanwhile...
 * Dr. Two-Brains: I was relying on that helmet yo help me understand her.
 * Meathead: Well, I don't know where the helmet went. It just vanished.
 * Dr. Two-Brains: It can't vanish because I put a homing device inside it. That way I can find it wherever it goes. The only problem is, it'll only work when it's attached a power source. I just hope whoever has the helmet is foolish enough to plug it in.
 * Scoops: Becky, I've got an idea. Let's plug it in!


 * Sally: What is it doing?
 * Becky: I don't know.
 * TJ: I know what's it doing? Nothing. Judge, I think I've seen enough.
 * Sally: (Sighs) Oh. Becky, if that's all the evidence you have, that I'm afraid I have no choice but to find you--
 * Dr. Two-Brains: Hello, Neighbor. You wouldn't happen to have a mysterious blinking helmet lying around your house would you?
 * Sally: Um, let's say that I did. Why would you need this helmet?
 * Dr. Two-Brains: Um, so I can go unicycling-riding. I've got an extra brain to protect after all.
 * Becky: Sorry. Two-Brains, it's not here.
 * Dr. Two-Brains: Oh, Poppycock and Hogwash. Hand it over right now, or you'll have to deal with Maria.
 * Maria: Rarrr!
 * Becky: You know, I think we do have the helmet. Why don't you come isnide and get it?
 * Dr. Two-Brains: Ooh. Don't mind if I do. Come on, boys, let's try this again.
 * Becky: Wait, Dr. Two-Brains, while you're here I thought you might like to try this. It's my father's spicy surprise. It might be a little cold, but it's got spicy meat, spicy spices, and-- Oh, yeah--spicy cheese.
 * Dr. Two-Brains: Spicy cheese?! Let me at it! I'm starving!
 * Becky: Be my guest, all of you.
 * Dr. Two-Brains: Mmm. I've got to say-- This truly is a surprise, a spicy surprise. Very spicy. Can I please have some water?
 * Becky: Oh, sorry. We just ran out.
 * Dr. Two-Brains: Ran out?! Ran out?! Out of my way! Water! Where's the water?!
 * WordGirl: I'll give you water.
 * Dr. Two-Brains: Oh, thank you, WordGir--Uh-oh.


 * Dr. Two-Brains: I just couldn't listen to her talk anymore.
 * Maria: Aah!
 * Dr. Two-Brains: That helmet? Worst thing I ever invented.
 * WordGirl: Well, thanks, Two-Brains, but, you know, I still have to take you to jail.
 * Dr. Two-Brains: I could use the peace and quiet. Come on. Let's go.
 * Tim: I'm sorry I doubted you, Becky. Obviously you were telling the truth.
 * Becky: Dad, I'm sorry, too. I still wish I hasn't missed dinner.
 * TJ: Hey! Where's WordGirl go? She was just here!
 * Becky: I guess you could say she vanished, and that's because vanish means to suddenly disappear.
 * Sally: Well, Becky, do you know what's also vanished? Your punishment.
