  • Bank Teller: Let me guess. You're gonna rob the bank.
  • The Butcher: You don't seem very sturprised.
  • Bank Teller: I think you mean surprised, and, no, I'm not. I mean, this is the third time you've robbed the bank this week.
  • The Butcher: Really? (Sighs) Does your job ever start to feel boring?
  • Bank Teller: No, Butcher, never, no. This is like jumping out of planes. Anyway, you want the money or not? Because I'm pretty sure any second WordGirl is just gonna swoop--
  • (WordGirl arrives)
  • WordGirl: Hold it right there, Butcher!
  • Bank Teller: Called it?
  • WordGirl: Called what? What's going--
  • The Butcher: Corned Beef Kapow! Huh. What's with you guys?
  • WordGirl: Butcher, are you feeling okay?
  • The Butcher: I don't really know, WordGirl.
  • WordGirl: Hmm. Well, try again. You know, I don't want to take you down without a fight. Where's the sport in that?
  • The Butcher: Ah, thanks. All right. Here goes. Chicken Pot Pow-- Ah, not feeling it.
  • WordGirl: Nothing?
  • The Butcher: No, it's not working. I don't believe this. I've lost my ability to summon meat. All right. Go ahead. You gonna arrest me now, WordGirl?
  • WordGirl: Well, you haven't really done anything wrong except for moping a bit. Is something bothering you?
  • The Butcher: I don't know. Stealing stuff, shooting meat, going to jail. Maybe it's just getting a little routine.
  • WordGirl: Well, it sounds like a perfect time for you to quit your life of crime and become a law-abiding citizen!
  • The Butcher: You're kidding, right? That kind of sounds boring, too.
  • WordGirl: Uh, do you have a vending machine here? I told my sidekick that this would be an all you can eat battle.
  • Bank Teller: Go right in the hall.
  • WordGirl: Thank you.

  • Becky: TJ, what's going on around here? You sound just like the Butcher.

  • TJ: How do you know that?
  • Becky: How do I know what?
  • TJ: That The Butcher is moping.
  • Becky: What Butcher?
  • TJ: Oh, never mind!

  • Tim: Hey there, TJ, what's wrong?

  • Tim: Wha-what is going on?
  • Sally: TJ! That is not even in the Botsford vocabulary!
  • Tim: So let's pick a super fun activity say bye-bye to this botsford boredom bug! Whoo! Ha, ha, ha!
  • TJ: Where we going?
  • Sally: I was thinking we could visit the Bundt Cake Exhibit at the museum.
  • Tim: Mmm. No.
  • Both: No.
  • Tim: There must be a way to pick a family activity that everyone will agree on something that will stop all this moping!
  • Sally: Bundt Cake!
  • Tim: Ha, ha, ha! No.

  • The Butcher: But robbing banks has become boring. This is a problem. Ugh. I guess there's only one thing I can do.
  • Kid Potato: Ohh! My son! Yaah!
  • The Butcher: (Grunts) Hi, Pop.
  • Kid Potato: What are you doing?
  • The Butcher: Well, I think I've lost my ability to summon the meat.
  • Kid Potato: It's okay, son. This can happen even to the best super-villains.
  • The Butcher: Hey, Pop. You think I can stay with you for a while?
  • Kid Potato: Come on in and tell your old man all about it, but I won't have you moping around the house all day.
  • The Butcher: No, I know, I know. Hey, you want to go out and steal some dinner or something?
  • Kid Potato: I'm afraid you're on your own, son. I have to go to work.
  • The Butcher: Work? You work? What happened to Super Villain Kid Potato?
  • Kid Potato: I had to retire Kid Potato after I hurt my back firing a whole lot of au gratin. I overdid it with the cheese. I'm vendor at the ballpark now.
  • The Butcher: A vendor? What's a vendor?
  • Kid Potato: A vendor is a person who sells things. A vendor at a ball game usually sells hot dogs or peanuts. Hey, come work with me. With your background in the meats, you'd be natural.
  • The Butcher: Huh. A Vendor. And it's not boring?
  • Kid Potato: No. It's fun, and the best part is, you got to see all the games free!
  • The Butcher: Oh. Okay, Pop. I'll do it.
  • Kid Potato: Yes! Meat and Potatoes together again. This time as vendors. Sit up straight. You're slouching.
  • The Butcher: All right.
  • Narrator: Next day at the baseball stadium...

  • Sally: What a beautiful day for a family activity! Thanks, honey!
  • Tim: Don't thank me, thank the Family Adventure Activity Wheel!
  • Becky: Ah, you probably should have left the wheel at home, Dad.
  • Tim: I know, but I just love it so much. I did have to buy another ticket for it, though.
  • Guy: Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle! Look at this. Father and son vendors! I love it! All right. Get to work, boys!
  • Kid Potato: Don't worry, kiddo, you're gonna do great! Just what I do. Get your hot dogs here! Hot dogs!
  • The Butcher: Okay. Doesn't seem too hard. (Unenthusiastically) Hot dogs, peanuts, sticky stuff.
  • Kid Potato: You're moping! A good vendor never mopes! Give it some energy.
  • The Butcher: All right. Hot dogs! Uh, get your hot dogs!
  • Kid Potato: Heh, heh, heh! Now, you've got it.
  • The Butcher: All right. Hot dogs!
  • Becky: The Butcher? Working as a vendor?
  • TJ: What's with you and the Butcher?
  • Becky: Huh? What Butcher? What?
  • TJ: Becky, you just said that--
  • Becky: Mom, Dad? Bob and I are gonna go get some snacks okay?
  • Tim: Okey-dokey. Hurry backy, Becky!
  • Sally: Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! I love it! I love it!
  • Warden: Listen to my stomach. If I don't get a hot dog with onions soon, I'll eat my hat!
  • Bank Teller: Hot dog, please!
  • The Butcher: uh, let's see. Hot dogs, onions.
  • Becky: Excuse me, but are you the Butcher?
  • The Butcher: Huh? Oh, yeah, well, I was.
  • Becky: Of course I've never met you, but I have read about you in the paper. You were a very good criminal in your day.

  • The Butcher: Yeah, trying to-- Trying to work here.
  • Bank Teller: Hot dog over here, please!
  • Warden: Do you want me to eat my hat? Because I'll do it if I don't get a ballpark snack pronto.
  • The Butcher: Yeah, yeah, I'm coming, all right, yeah. Yeah, kid, I'm a vendor now, see?
  • Becky: Well, then I'll take two hot dogs, please.
  • The Butcher: Okay.
  • Warden: I'm not playin'. Where's my food?
  • The Butcher: Uh, how am I supposed to send so much food in so many directions at once? Wait. Wait a minute. Who had the dogs with onions?
  • Warden: Ooh! Over here!
  • The Butcher: Hey! Hey! It worked! Right at you! All right! Hamburger Hammer! Hyah!
  • Woman: Got it!
  • The Butcher: Pastrami Attack!
  • Bank Teller: Thanks!
  • The Butcher: Bratwurst Blast! To the newlyweds in the back!
  • Woman: Good work.
  • Kid Potato: That's my boy.
  • Narrator: Later, The Butcher reports back to the vending boss.
  • The Butcher: Wait. Hold on. This is all I get?
  • Vendor Boss: Yeah, well, technically today's a training day for you. You aren't supposed to be paid at all, but you did such a good job, you shouldn't have empty handed.
  • The Butcher: Hey. That's not fair!
  • Vendor Boss: Sorry, I'm the Vending Boss and you're the Vendor, and those are the rules.
  • The Butcher: No, I'm the Butcher, and you're gonna give me all the money now! Ha, ha, ha!
  • Vendor Boss: Hey, someone help! That Vendor stole all the money!
  • The Butcher: Liverwurst Whammo! The Butcher's back, baby! Now give me all your money! Pork Chop CHop!
  • Becky: The Butcher is back! To his evil ways! Uh, Dad, we're going to get more napkins!
  • Sally: Okey dokey, hurry Becky!
  • Tim: Good one.

  • WordGirl: So I see you've stoped moping.
  • The Butcher: Yes! I have stopped moping. I think. I don't exactly know what moping means, so...
  • WordGirl: Well, to mope means to feel sad or glum. You were moping when you were bored and you lost your superpowers.
  • The Butcher: Oh! Well, then you're right! I have stopped moping. Hamalance!
  • WordGirl: Good catch, Huggy!
  • Kid Potato: No fair, two against one.
  • The Butcher: Pop?!
  • Kid Potato: The name is Kid Potato!
  • The Butcher: I thought you retired Kid Potato.
  • Kid Potato: You got to do what you got to do. And in your family, it's throw food. I knew you'd get your powers back.
  • The Butcher: How'd you know?
  • Kid Potato: It's who we are. Now let's send this little girl and her lemur back to the library!
  • WordGirl: Who you calling Little Girl?!
  • Kid Potato: Potato Pie Pow!
  • The Butcher: Hamburger Hammer!
  • Kid Potato: Boy, that guy can chew!
  • The Butcher: You ain't kidding.
  • Sportscaster: Hello, again, everyone, and welcome to the ball park where we are in the middle of a dandy. WordGirl is battling The Butcher and his dad, Kid Potato. Let's watch on the field.
  • Kid Potato: Whole lot of Au Gratin with extra cheese!
  • Huggy: (Groans)
  • Kid Potato: Oh, boy. There goes the back.
  • The Butcher: Aw, Pop.
  • Kid Potato: Uh-oh! It looks like Kid Potato is hurt and Huggy is stuffed! It's just WordGirl and The Butcher now.
  • The Butcher: Ha, ha! I gotcha now, WordGirl. You ready, sister? Meatball Mayhem!
  • Crowd: (Cheers and Applause)
  • Kid Potato: Easy on the back, easy now. Overdid it with the cheese again!
  • The Butcher: Hey, Pop, you came out of retirement just to get arrested and sent back to jail.
  • Kid Potato: That's okay, that's okay. As long as I'm sharing a jail with you, I'll be happy.

  • TJ: Becky, where were you?! You missed the most awesome baseball game ever!
  • Becky: We did? Who won?
  • TJ: I don't know! But we saw WordGirl battle it out with The Butcher and Kid Potato! We got to come here every Saturday!
  • Tim: I think we need to leave that decision Up to the Family Adventure Activity Wheel.
  • Sally: Okay, baby! Give me Bundt Cake! Give me Bundt Cake! Come on, Lady Luck, give me Bundt Cake!
