 * Narrator: It's Saturday morning at the Botsfords'; and there's magic in the air as Scoops and Becky have their final practice for today's talent show!
 * Scoops: And now for my grand finale, I will make my talented assistant, Becky Botsford disappear!
 * Becky: Thank you very m--
 * Scoops: And... Ta-Da! Thanks for being my assistant at today's talent show, Becky.
 * Becky: My pleasure, Scoops. I'm always--
 * Tobey: (Distinct Evil Laughs)
 * Becky: Oh, no. Um, Scoops, I just forgot I have a quick errand to run. I'll meet you at the talent show, okay?
 * Scoops: Oh, don't be late! You're essential to the performance.
 * (At Outside)
 * (Captain Huggyface and WordGirl arrives)
 * WordGirl: Tobey!
 * Tobey: Why, WordGirl, what a pleasant surprise. Allow me to introduce you to Statuebot, a robot that when I order it, will destroy City Hall!
 * WordGirl: Huh. Well, I've got somewhere to be. Nice knowing you, Statuebot! Hyah! (Groans)
 * Tobey: Ha, ha, ha!
 * WordGirl: Okay, Tobey. Why do you want to destroy City Hall?
 * Tobey: Destroy is such a gloomy word. I simply wanted to use the threat. You will recite these poems aloud at the talent show.
 * WordGirl: "How do I love Tobey? Let me count the ways"? Ugh!
 * Tobey: It's all about the delivery! Everyone trusts you. When WordGirl says Tobey is amazing, they'll believe it! The judges will have no choice but to crown me victor.
 * WordGirl: And if we lose?
 * Tobey: If we lose, it's bye-bye, City Hall.
 * WordGirl: Ugh. Huggy, stay behind and try to find the statue's control panel. It's essental we find a way to stop it. When something is Essential, it's very, very important, something you need to do. You must find a way to stop the robot!
 * Sally: He's Tim Botsford... and she's Sally Botsford...
 * Both: And this is the 33rd annual all-city talent show
 * Tobey: Memorize the poems yet? It's essential you know them all by heart.
 * WordGirl: Um, Tobey, I can't memorize with all this commotion, so I'm going to sneak off somewhere quiet to learn my lines.
 * Tobey: Good, but don't skedaddle for too long, or else!
 * Scoops: Becky! Where have you been? I need you! We're up next. You know, without you as my assistant, I wouldn't be able to do my act. I would be completely mixed up, all bumbling around, confused, kind of like right now.
 * Becky: I think the word you're looking for discombobualted, and it means getting confused, surprised, or all mixed up.
 * Scoops: Yes! Discombobulated! That's how I was feeling before you showed up! I feel better now.
 * Sally: And now without further ado...
 * Scoops: It's magic time.
 * Sally: Here's some magic from Todd Scoops Ming and his assistant, Becky Botsford! That's my daughter!
 * Scoops: Greetings, people in the audience! Prepare to be amazed!
 * Tobey: Where did WordGirl run off to? I smell trickery.
 * Scoops: And now for my last trick, I'll make my assistant Becky disappear!
 * Audience: (Groans)
 * Mayor: Well, it was going wonderfully up until then.


 * Tobey: Good timing, WordGirl.
 * WordGirl: Just memorize my lines. All set for the big performance. Oh, no! Um, I'll be right back, Tobey.
 * Tobey: But we're about to go on!
 * Scoops: Sorry for the confusion, folks. I, um, don't know where Becky went!
 * Becky: Looking for me?
 * Scoops: Whu-what? I mean, there she is! Ta-da! Intentional!
 * Mayor: Huh. Wow. Now that's a magic trick!
 * Scoops: Becky, you were supposed to be in the box. How did you get all the way over there?
 * Becky: I don't know. I guess actually be magic! Whoa.
 * Sally: And now for our next act...
 * Narrator: Back at City Hall... Oh, this is going to be good.
 * Mayor: (Snores) Oh. Hello! Oh, yes, very good!
 * Tim: Here's Tobey McCallister, who has written a collection of poems entitled "WordGirl thinks Tobey is amazing." Reading Tobey's poems will be-- wait. Really? She agreed to this? Huh. WordGirl!
 * Tobey: Poem number one.
 * WordGirl: I can't do this. It's ridiculous. Oh, fine. How do I love Tobey? Let me count the ways: One, for his shimmering golden hair. Ugh.
 * Girl: If you love Tobey that much, WordGirl, then we love him, too!
 * Boy: Yeah, we'll take your word for it!
 * Girl: Aah!
 * All: (Screams)
 * Tobey: And in conclusion, poem number 37.
 * WordGirl: Roses are red, violets are blue. I really love Tobey, and so...
 * Tobey: (growling angrily) WordGirl!...
 * WordGirl: ---Should...--
 * Tobey: (slowly holds up his remote, threatening to press it if she doesn't finish the poem) Finish it!...
 * WordGirl: ...-YOUUEUGH!....
 * [Everyone cheers for Tobey]
 * McKenna: Tobey!
 * Sally: It's all come down to this.
 * Tim: Here we go! And the winner is...
 * [Drum roll]
 * Tim:Why do they make these envolpes so hard to open? Am I right? OOOW-Who's it gonna be?! (Sally grabs the envelope) I'm handing it to my wife...
 * [Drum roll stops]
 * Sally: (gasps) It's a tie! Scoops and Tobey have the exact same score!
 * Mayor: And the rules say when there's a tie, there'll be a talent showdown. Both Tobey and Scoops will perform their talents onstage at the same time!
 * Tobey: Lucky I've got my ace in the hole WordGirl.
 * Scoops: Oh, yeah? Well, I've got Becky on my side. So there.
 * Narrator: You okay there?
 * Becky: I'm discombobulated because it's essential that I be in two places at the same time!
 * Narrator: Isn't that impossible?
 * Girl: Aah!
