[evil laughter] The episode opens inside a large vault of cheese. Dr. Two-Brains stands alongside his two henchmen who are counting on their fingers
Dr. Two-Brains: SOON, I, Dr. TWO-BRAINS, WILL KNOW JUST HOW MUCH CHEESE I HAVE TO THE VERY LAST MORSEL. [evil laughter] SO TELL ME, HOW MUCH WE TALKING ABOUT? ONE TON, TWO TONS?
Henchman 1: UM, ABOUT... THAT MUCH.
He points to the top of the ceiling
Dr. Two-Brains: OH, NEVER MIND, I'LL COUNT IT MYSELF. IT'S NOT THAT HARD, GUYS. ONE... TWO... THREE?
Henchman 1: SAY, BOSS, WHY DOES ALL THE CHEESE HAVE LITTLE NUMBERS ON IT?
He points the small calendar on the cheese packages.
Dr. Two-Brains: OH, THAT'S JUST THE EXPIRATION DATE. FOUR, FIVE.
Henchman 1: THE EXPIRATION DATE?
Dr. Two-Brains: YEAH, JUST TELLS YOU WHEN THE CHEESE IS TOO OLD TO EAT.
Henchman 1: YOU MEAN AFTER THE EXPIRATION DATE THE CHEESE WON'T BE GOOD ANYMORE?
Dr. Two-Brains: THAT'S RIGHT. STOP INTERRUPTING ME. NOW I'VE GOT TO START OVER. ONE... TWO...
Henchman 1: WAIT, ISN'T THAT DATE RIGHT THERE TOMORROW?
Dr. Two-Brains grabs the cheese and exclaims TOMORROW?
He looks at the expiration date and says THIS CHEESE EXPIRES TOMORROW? NO! He stuffs the cheese in his mouth NO... TOMORROW
Dr. Two-Brains picks up another piece of cheese and says TOMORROW AGAIN. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.
He continues to eat and check the cheese all along the wall
Henchman 1: SO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
Dr. Two-Brains: THERE'S ONLY ONE THING I CAN DO.
Henchman 1: OOH, YOUR TOTALLY UNTESTED SUPER POWERFUL TIME STOPPING RAY?
Dr. Two-Brains: MY TOTALLY UNTESTED SUPER POWERFUL TIME STOPPING RAY!
He pauses and says YOU JUST SAID THAT.
Dr. Two-Brains walks over to his time-stopping ray. It looks like a grandfather clock with a picture of a mouse inside of a clock
He continues I CAN USE IT TO PAUSE TIME SO TOMORROW NEVER COMES. AND IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES, MY CHEESE WILL NEVER EXPIRE. [evil laughter]
Henchman 1: BUT IF YOU STOP TIME, WON'T WE STOP, TOO?
Dr. Two-Brains: HELLO, PROTECTIVE SPHERE.
He rolls out a clear blue sphere and says THANKS TO THIS, WE'LL BE THE ONLY ONES IN THE ENTIRE WORLD WHO WON'T BE FROZEN IN TIME!
They all climb inside. Dr. Two-Brains activates the time stopping ray and closes the sphere’s door [whirring/rattling]
The Narrator says WILL Dr. Two-Brains REALLY BE ABLE TO STOP TIME?
The machine blasts a giant red beam through the ceiling
Dr. Two-Brains: STOP TIME? [evil laughter] LOOKS LIKE THE ANSWER IS YES! AND NOT EVEN WordGirl CAN STOP ME NOW.
He walks out of his sphere and looks outside. People are frozen playing basketball. Images flash of different people and villains all over the world stopped in the middle of eating, playing, or talking.
The scene changes to outer space. WordGirl and Huggy are destroying a group of oncoming asteroids.
WordGirl: YAH, YAH, YAH!
After she finishes destroying the asteroids she says AHEM! HEY, WHERE'S MY INTRODUCTION? HELLO, Mr. NARRATOR, HELLO? HMM, OH, WELL.
She clears her throat and says AHEM, MEANWHILE, THE BRAVE SUPERHERO, WordGirl, AND HER SIDEKICK, Captain Huggy Face ARE PROTECTING THE CITY FROM A STORM OF GIANT SPACE ROCKS.
She sees two more space rocks, kicks them, and shouts HI-YAH, HI-YAH! AND WordGirl SAVES THE DAY AGAIN. NOW IT'S TIME FOR OUR HERO TO HEAD HOME, EAT BREAKFAST WITH THE FAMILY, DO HER CHORES, FINISH HER HOMEWORK, AND MAYBE IF THERE'S A MOMENT TO PAUSE, START READING THAT NEW BOOK SHE CHECKED OUT FROM THE LIBRARY. [Huggy squealing]
WordGirl: THE WORD PAUSE? PAUSE MEANS TO STOP SOMETHING FOR A WHILE.
The scene changes to Becky and Bob walking into the Botsford house
Becky: FOR EXAMPLE, YOU CAN PAUSE A VIDEO GAME IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK, AND THEN START WHERE YOU LEFT OFF WHEN YOU'RE READY TO PLAY AGAIN. OR A WEEKEND IS A PAUSE BECAUSE IT'S A BREAK AFTER GOING TO SCHOOL FOR FIVE DAYS. SORRY I'M LATE. BOB AND I WERE OUT...
They walk into the kitchen. They see Mr. Botsford flipping burgers and Mrs. Botsford spilling her coffee. Everything is frozen in place.
Becky: MOM? DAD? HA HA, THAT'S REALLY FUNNY, BUT YOU CAN START MOVING NOW. REALLY, ANY TIME. [Huggy squealing]
He points to TJ mid-jump in the living room.
Becky: THERE'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG HERE. COME ON, BOB, WORD UP!
They fly off. Images flash of people frozen in place all across the city.
WordGirl: LOOK AT THIS. IT'S AS IF THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN PUT ON PAUSE.
BUT WHY AREN'T WE? [Huggy squealing]
WordGirl: I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT, Huggy. BEING IN OUTER SPACE SOMEHOW KEPT US FROM BEING STOPPED IN TIME.
[Huggy squealing]
He points to the ground. They land in the park.
WordGirl bends over and says PASTRAMI? HAS WordGirl FOUND A MEATY CLUE?
She holds up the piece of pastrami in her hand [Huggy squealing]
WordGirl grumbles SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT.
They fly off to the bank. The image shows citizens frozen under piles of meat and Butcher at the front desk
WordGirl: STOP RIGHT THERE, BUTCHER.
He doesn’t move.
WordGirl sighs ET TU, BUTCHER?
[Huggy squealing] WordGirl flies around the city collecting all the villains and throwing them into jail
WordGirl locks the cell door and says YOU GUYS PICKED THE WRONG TIME TO COMMIT A CRIME. NOW, TO CATCH THE ONLY VILLAIN WHO COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR STOPPING TIME. IT'S GOTTA BE
The image changes to the beach.
WordGirl continues Dr. Two-Brains. I KNOW YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAUSING TIME, AND I'M HERE TO STOP YOUR EVIL PLAN.
Dr. Two-Brains is floating in the ocean eating cheese
Dr. Two-Brains: HEY, WHY AREN'T YOU AND THAT MONKEY CRITTER PAUSED LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE?
WordGirl: BECAUSE TIME NEVER PAUSES FOR JUSTICE, Dr. TWO-BRAINS.
Dr. Two-Brains: LOOK, WordGirl, I KNOW YOU'RE A SUPERHERO AND IT'S YOUR JOB TO TRY AND DEFEAT ME AND ALL OF THAT, BUT WHY NOT TAKE A LOAD OFF FIRST? WE HAVE NOTHING BUT TIME.
WordGirl: I DON'T THINK SO.
Dr. Two-Brains: OH, COME ON. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE ARE NO LINES AT THE WATER SLIDE.
WordGirl: CAPTAIN Huggy FACE AND I WILL NOT PAUSE WHEN WE ARE FIGHTING CR...
[splashing]
Huggy jumps into the water
WordGirl: Huggy!
[Huggy squealing]
WordGirl: YES, I KNOW I PROMISED TO TAKE YOU LAST SUMMER. BUT MY TWO-FOR-ONE COUPON EXPIRED. [Huggy squealing] He grabs a piece of cheese and hops onto a rubber tube
WordGirl: OH, THE WORD EXPIRE MEANS TO COME TO AN END, OR TO FINISH, OR RUN OUT. FOR EXAMPLE, SINCE MY COUPON EXPIRED, THE WATER SLIDE WON'T ACCEPT IT ANYMORE.
Dr. Two-Brains: AND THERE'S NOTHING SADDER THAN WHEN A GIANT BOWL FULL OF CHEESE EXPIRES. BECAUSE THEN YOU HAVE TO PAUSE TIME IN ORDER TO EAT IT ALL.
Dr. Two-Brains and Huggy eat cheese
WordGirl: OH, IS THAT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT?
Dr. Two-Brains: MMMMAYBE...
WordGirl: WHAT YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND, Dr. Two-Brains, IS THAT A SUPERHERO HAS A DUTY TO UPHOLD JUSTICE AND SAVE THE WORLD AND STUFF LIKE THAT. EVEN WHEN SHE'S BEHIND ON HER CHORES, AND HAS A BIG SCIENCE PROJECT DUE THE NEXT DAY. SHE MIGHT LIKE TO PAUSE AND HAVE A CAREFREE DAY OF FUN AND RELAXATION, BUT A SUPERHERO IS NEVER OFF DUTY. AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY.
Dr. Two-Brains and Huggy drink a smoothie
Dr. Two-Brains: WELL, I GUESS THIS MEANS IT'S TIME FOR OUR BIG SHOWDOWN. BUT I'M WARNING YOU, WordGirl, IT WON'T BE PRETTY.
Huggy jumps onto WordGirl’s shoulder
WordGirl: Dr. Two-Brains, I'LL TAKE YOU ON PRETTY OR UGLY. ANY WHERE, ANY HOW.
Dr. Two-Brains jumps onto land and snickers OH, REALLY?
He pulls out two sand pails. He throws one to WordGirl
WordGirl catches it and says HMM, THIS SEEMS LESS LIKE A BIG SHOWDOWN, AND MORE LIKE AN EXCUSE TO GOOF OFF AND build SAND CASTLES.
Dr. Two-Brains: THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE WRONG, WordGirl. THIS COULDN'T BE MORE SERIOUS.
WordGirl: UGH, FINE.
She and Huggy sit down in the sand and pack sand into the pail
WordGirl: NOW, IF I CAN JUST GET THIS... CAREFUL, CAREFUL, CAREFUL! OH!
She turns over the pail. The sand crumbles to the ground
Dr. Two-Brains: NEXT TIME, YOU MIGHT WANT TO FIRM UP THE BASE TO GIVE IT MORE SUPPORT.
She sculpts a tower of cheese in the sand
WordGirl: OH... THANKS!
After a moment, Dr. Two-Brains: OKAY, MAYBE PAUSING TIME WASN'T MY BEST IDEA. THERE'S NO TV, NO MORE NEW ISSUES OF DAIRY VILLAINS MONTHLY. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET GOOD SERVICE; WATCH.
He raises his hand and shouts WAITER, WAITER!
A waiter is shown holding a tray. He doesn’t move.
Dr. Two-Brains sighs and says ALL IN ALL, NOT MY BEST IDEA. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS MACHINE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO STOP TIME FOREVER.
WordGirl: FOREVER? WELL, YOU COULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT EARLIER.
Dr. Two-Brains: OH, DIDN'T I? WELL, I'M MENTIONING IT NOW.
WordGirl: COME ON, Huggy. WE DON'T HAVE ANY TIME TO WASTE. WELL, WE DO, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. WE HAVE TO STOP... AH, START, TIME.
They fly off
Dr. Two-Brains: YEAH, I KNOW YOU'RE JUST LEAVING 'COS I WON THE SAND CASTLE THING.
WordGirl and Huggy fly past an airplane frozen in air
WordGirl: I CAN'T BELIEVE I ABANDONED MY RESPONSIBILITIES JUST SO I COULD TAKE A PAUSE FOR MYSELF. [Huggy squealing]
WordGirl: THANKS, Huggy. [Huggy squealing]
WordGirl: YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE'S A WORLD TO SAVE. They land in Dr. Two-Brains lair.
WordGirl looks at the time-stopping machine and says THAT MUST BE IT.
She flies over by yellow waves hit her
WordGirl cries OH, NO, I CAN FEEL TIME BEGINNING TO FREEZE! [Huggy squealing]
WordGirl: I KNOW IT'S TIME FOR SOME NARRATION, BUT I CAN'T... [Huggy squealing]
WordGirl: FINE!
She looks at the screen and announces IS THIS THE END OF WordGirl? WILL TIME BE PAUSED FOREVER? WILL Dr. Two-Brains EVER GET TIRED OF EATING CHEESE THAT'S ABOUT TO EXPIRE?
An image flashes of Dr. Two-Brains eating cheese on top of his tower sand made of cheese. [Huggy squealing]
WordGirl: THE RAY'S TOO POWERFUL.
WordGirl and Huggy’s movements become slower and slower
In a slow voice WordGirl: I DON'T THINK... I CAN... MAKE IT.
She reaches out for the leaver. She pushes it down slowly
WordGirl and Huggy fall to the floor
WordGirl: YES!
They get up at normal speed
[Huggy squealing]
The Narrator continues ...TIIIIME? OH, WELL I GUESS HE DID IT. HEY, WHAT DID I MISS?
WordGirl: I'LL FILL YOU IN LATER.
Images flash of people unfreezing all over the city [dogs barking]
The scene changes to the beach. A volleyball player near Dr. Two-Brains unfreezes and falls on top of him. Dr. Two-Brains is trapped under the sand
WordGirl and Huggy fly down to the beach
WordGirl: IT'S TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC, Dr. Two-Brains. YOUR GET-OUT-OF-JAIL-FREE CARD HAS EXPIRED.
Dr. Two-Brains looks behind Huggy and World Girl and says HEY, WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN?
The Henchmen appear walking on the beach
Henchman 1 is riding a scooter. He says BOSS, SINCE WE HAD ALL THAT TIME ON OUR HANDS, CHARLIE DECIDED TO FINALLY WRITE HIS NOVEL.
Henchman 2 holds up a stack of papers.
Henchman 1 continues AND I DISCOVERED THE JOY OF MOUNTAIN BIKING, AND LEARNED HOW TO BAKE.
He holds out a tray of cupcakes
Dr. Two-Brains: HMM, YOU DON'T SAY.
Henchman 1: AH-HUH! AND CHARLIE TAUGHT HIMSELF HOW TO PLAY PIANO, AND BECAME AN EXPERT IN YOGA.
Henchman 2 plays a piano with his feet wrapped around his head
Dr. Two-Brains mutters WOW, THAT'S REALLY... SOMETHING.
Henchman 1 asks HOW ABOUT YOU TWO? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE GREAT THINGS YOU GUYS DID WHILE TIME WAS PAUSED?
WordGirl mutters UM...
Dr. Two-Brains mutters OH, YOU KNOW, STUFF.
WordGirl: LITTLE OF THIS, LITTLE OF THAT.
Dr. Two-Brains: TOO MANY THINGS TO LIST, REALLY.
WordGirl: OH YEAH, THAT'S FOR SURE.
Henchman 1: OH, WELL, THAT'S PRETTY COOL.
WordGirl: HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? LET'S GET YOU ALL TO JAIL.
She rises in the air and carries them into the air. The scene changes to WordGirl dumping the Henchmen and Dr. Two-Brains into a jail cell
Now WordGirl and Huggy are flying over the city
WordGirl: AND SO ONCE AGAIN, Dr. Two-Brains STOPPED TIME. BUT WordGirl STOPPED Dr....
The Narrator says HEY, I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.
WordGirl: OOPS, SORRY. I GUESS MY TIME AS NARRATOR HAS EXPIRED. GLAD YOU'RE BACK.
The Narrator says FOR FUN AND EXCITEMENT THAT WILL NEVER EXPIRE, BE SURE TO TUNE IN FOR THE NEXT THRILLING ADVENTURE OF... DRAMATIC PAUSE... WordGirl!
