Transcript: Mel is Swell / Band Aid
A firefly flies around a pond at night.
Flick appears on screen and says IT'S TIME TO LIGHT THINGS UP.
Flick is a firefly who wears a pink beanie, a brown T-shirt, black pants, and blue shoes. He has little tiny glowing wings that flutter behind him.
The song goes SHUTTERBUGS!
Flick flies throw the pond past a large toad and through leaves and cattails.
The song continues NA NA NA NA-NA-NA-NA
SHUTTERBUGS!
He flies into a lit-up city made of mushrooms and tree trunks flying past Harvey eating a watermelon and Opal reading a book in a hammock. Harvey is a large blue fly that wears a blue shirt and black pants. Opal is a spider wearing a green shirt and black pants on 8 legs.
The song continues NA NA NA NA-NA-NA-NA
SHUTTERBUGS!
SHUTTERBUGS
Flick, Harvey, and Opal fly by the title written in the sky that reads "Shutterbugs."
The episode title reads "Mel is Swell."
[PHONE RINGING]
Flick looks at his watch and Gordon says FLICK! I'VE GOT A GOLD
MEDAL-WORTHY STORY FOR YOU!
Gordon is an elderly caterpillar with a white goatee and glasses.
Flick says BE THERE IN A FLASH, BOSS!
Flick, Harvey, and Opal walk into Gordon?s office and Flick says HEY GUYS, GOOD TIMING!
BUT UH, WHERE'S GORDON?
Opal says BOSS?
Harvey says GORDON?
In a picture frame of an award ceremony, Gordon stands on first prize and says SHUTTERBUGS, THANK
GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE!
He jumps out of the picture frame and says WE'VE GOT BREAKING NEWS TO
COVER - MANIAC MEL IS IN TOWN.
Opal says YOU MEAN MANIAC MEL,
THE FAMOUS ATHLETE?
Gordon points to the computer screen and a picture of Mel holding a trophy appears on screen.
Gordon says PRECISELY!
Flick says SWEET!
SHE'S WON MORE GOLD MEDALS
THAN ANYONE IN THE MARSH.
Harvey says THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
Opal says YEAH, MEL'S FEARLESS!
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET HER.
Gordon says AND MEET HER YOU WILL.
SHE'S IN TOWN FOR TRAINING,
AND I WANT THE SHUTTERBUGS
TO COVER THE STORY.
Flick says NO PROBLEM, GORDON.
WE'LL GET THE SCOOP, AND SHED
SOME LIGHT ON THIS STORY!
The three glow worms in the office sit and sing I THINK...
WE CAN HELP.
WE CAN HELP.
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE DARK
OR LOST IN THE PARK
UH OH, WHAT?
DO YOU HEAR THAT FLY?
OH, WHAT'S THAT IN THE SKY?
ASK YOURSELF:
WHO, WHAT, WHERE,
WHEN, WHY, AND HOW.
IT'S TIME
WE SHED SOME LIGHT!
LIGHT! REAL BRIGHT!
LET'S MAKE IT
ALL SHINE - ALL RIGHT!
IT'S TIME
WE SHED SOME LIGHT!
EVERYTHING
WILL BE ALL RIGHT!
SHED SOME LIGHT!
Outside of the building at night, Flick says OK GUYS. LET'S START WITH
THE THINGS WE KNOW.
WHO?
Opal says MANIAC MEL!
WHAT?
Harvey says SHE'S TRAINING!
WHERE?
Flick says AT THE SPORTS CENTER!
WHEN?
Opal says RIGHT NOW!
WHY?
Harvey says PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
BUT HOW CAN YOU PRACTICE
IF YOU DON'T HAVE LEGS?
Flick says THERE'S ONLY ONE
WAY TO FIND OUT.
COME ON!
They fly over to the track and find Mel, a beige worm riding around in a wheelchair.
Opal says THAT WAS-...
AMAZING!
Flick says HUH!
Opal runs over and says I AM SO MEETED TO EXCITE YOU...
I MEAN EXCITED TO MEET YOU.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
Mel says I'M MEL, MANIAC MEL.
THE ROUGHEST TOUGHEST BUG
THIS SIDE OF ANYWHERE!
Flick says GREAT TO MEET YOU, MEL! I'M
FLICK. THIS IS OPAL AND...
HARVEY?
Mel says HEYA HARVEY!
YOU LOOK LIKE A STRONG,
MEAN JELLY BEAN.
Harvey says WELL, I DON'T LIKE
TO BRAG BUT...
Mel says PROBABLY HAVE A WICKED
SLAP SHOT, AM I RIGHT?
HOW ABOUT YOU COME HELP
ME WITH HOCKEY PRACTICE?
Harvey says HOCKEY?
GUYS, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
Opal says WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Harvey says WELL, MEL DOESN'T
HAVE LEGS, RIGHT?
I'M NOT A DETECTIVE OR ANYTHING,
BUT-...
They all say DETECTIVE DEBBIE!
Detective Debbie pops out of thin air. Detective Debbie is a pink dragonfly who wears a blue police uniform.
Detective Debbie says SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG
TO GET HERE, SHUTTERBUGS.
I'VE BEEN... WOWZA!
IS THAT MANIAC MEL OVER THERE?
Harvey says SHE WANTS US TO PRACTICE
HOCKEY WITH HER, BUT HOW?
SHE'S... SHE'S-
Detective Debbie says HARVEY, MY MAN, DID YOU KNOW I
GREW UP WITH A MISSING WING?
I COULDN'T FLY LIKE
MY OTHER FRIENDS,
BUT I NEVER LET IT SLOW ME DOWN.
IN FACT, IT HELPED SPEED ME UP!
Flick says BECAUSE NOW YOU USE
YOUR HELICOPTER, RIGHT?
Detective Debbie says THAT'S RIGHT!
JUST LIKE MEL USES
HER WHEELCHAIR.
AND NOW I CAN GET AROUND
FASTER THAN ANYBODY!
A muffled call comes in over Debbie?s walkie talkie.
Detective Debbie says ROGER THAT.
SORRY SHUTTERBUGS, GOTTA JET!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR STORY.
DEBS OUT!
Debbie dives into an orange pylon.
Flick says DEBBIE'S RIGHT, HARVEY.
WE USE MACHINES EVERY
DAY TO GET AROUND -
BIKES, CARS, SKATEBOARDS.
Opal says IT DOESN'T CHANGE WHO WE ARE,
IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT
WAY OF MOVING.
Flick says EXACTLY!
Opal says LET'S GO PRACTICE.
WE'LL GET OUR STORY AND
HAVE FUN, YOU'LL SEE!
They fly over to a hockey rink and they all wear helmets, ice skates, and pads.
Mel stands in the hockey goal, passes him the puck, and says HEYA HARVEY!
TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT.
Harvey winds up and barely taps the puck.
Mel says YOU CAN DO BETTER
THAN THAT, JELLY BEAN!
SHOOT IT.
Flick skates by, grabs the puck with his stick, and shoots it. Mel grabs it before it goes in and they take a picture.
Harvey skates over and says YOU MADE THAT
LOOK EASY! AAAH...
Harvey slips, falls, and says WHOOOAH...
OOF!
Mel says GOOD START
NEXT TIME, PUT THE PUCK
INTO THE NET, NOT YOU.
YOU GUYS WANT TO
SHOOT SOME HOOPS NEXT?
COME ON, JELLY BEAN!
Later on, the bugs place basketball on the court. Flick tosses Harvey a basketball that hits him in the face.
Flick says YIKES!
HARVEY, YOU OK?
Harvey says OH, YEAH... JUST, UH,
WARMING UP... MY FACE.
Mel stands by the basketball net and says OVER HERE, OVER HERE!
Harvey says OK.
HERE IT COMES.
A ONESIE,
A TWOSIE, A THR...
Mel rides by, grabs the ball, and shoots it into the basket.
The bugs say WHOA!
Mel says YOUR TURN, OPAL!
Opal starts to dribble. She passes it back to Harvey hitting him in the face.
Harvey says OOOOF!
WHY IS THIS SO HARD?
Mel gets the ball and says THIS IS CALLED
A BASKETBALL,
NOT A FACEBALL, JELLY BEAN.
Harvey says RIGHT, HEH.
GUESS I NEED TO
WORK ON MY MOVES.
UM, HOW DID YOU GET SO GOOD AT
IT WHEN YOU CAN'T REALLY...
YOU KNOW, MOVE...THAT MUCH.
Mel says CAN'T MOVE?
WELL, I HAVEN'T FIGURED
OUT HOW TO JUMP, YET.
BUT I CAN DEFINITELY MOVE!
I CAN TURN,
SPIN,
AND ROLL SUPER FAST!
I CAN GET AROUND PRETTY
GOOD, DON'T YOU THINK?
Harvey says BETTER THAN ME, THAT'S FOR SURE.
YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP
AT IT AND PRACTICE.
YOU'LL GET IT.
Harvey dribbles the ball across the court and says OOF!
Mel says COME ON JELLY BEAN!
YOU CAN DO IT!
Harvey jumps in slow motion, shoots, falls, and misses. Mel comes up behind him and scores the ball in the net.
Harvey says BASKETBALLING REALLY
ISN'T MY THING.
Mel says HEH, PRACTICE,
PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
SPEAKING OF WHICH, THE ONE
THING I NEED TO WORK ON IS MY
FREESTYLE EVENT.
WANT TO HELP?
Harvey says FREESTYLE?
Now the bugs watch as Mel skateboards on a half pipe.
Flick says THAT WAS AWESOME!
Mel says GETTING THERE!
IT'S NOT A NORMAL WHEELCHAIR
SPORT, BUT I LOVE IT.
JUST HAVEN'T FIGURED
OUT HOW TO JUMP YET!
Opal says IT LOOKS KIND OF SCARY.
IT'S LIKE ANYTHING, YOU
JUST NEED TO START OFF SMALL
AND SAFE.
Harvey says YEAH, STARTING OFF
SMALL WOULD BE BETTER.
THIS IS WAY TOO HIGH.
Harvey tries to walk off of the half pipe but slips on a skateboard and says I'M COMING DOOWWNN... AHHHHH!
AHH!
He shoots way up high and says WHAT DO I DO?
WHAT DO I DO?
Flick says YOUR WINGS HARVEY!
Harvey says AHHHH!
Flick says FLY!
Harvey flaps his wings and buzzes over to the bugs.
Mel says GREAT JOB!
YOU JUMPED!
SOMETHING I'VE NEVER
BEEN ABLE TO DO.
Harvey says I DID?
I DID!
Mel says HEH, GUESS I NEED
TO KEEP PRACTICING.
BACK IN 5 GUYS, I JUST...NEED A LITTLE BREAK.
Mel rides away.
Harvey says I DON'T GET IT.
HOW WAS I ABLE TO JUMP LIKE
A PRO WHEN MEL COULDN'T?
Flick says THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, HARVEY.
I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SENSE
OF THIS...BY USING OUR SENSES!
The glow worms dance and sing OOOH, WE CAN HELP WITH THAT.
TELL ME 'BOUT THE SENSES.
SEEING.
HEARING.
TELL ME MORE, TELL ME MORE.
SMELLING.
TASTING.
THERE'S ONE MORE
SENSE YOU KNOW.
OH YEAH, TOUCHING!
ALL FIVE SENSES.
NOW IT'S MAKING SENSE.
LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA.
YOU GOTTA USE
ALL YOUR SENSES.
OH YEAH!
LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA.
IT'S REALLY,
REALLY,
REALLY...
MAKING SENSE!
Opal hangs on her spider web at the top of the half pipe.
Flick says READY OPAL?
Flick looks at his watch and selects the touch option.
Opal releases, touches the half pipe, and says UH-HUH!
IT'S SMOOTH!
REALLY SMOOTH.
NOTHING WRONG WITH THE RAMP.
Opal pulls herself up on the other side and says BUT I CAN'T GET CLOSE TO
JUMPING LIKE HARVEY DID.
Flick says HMM, SO WHAT DID HARVEY
DO THAT'S DIFFERENT?
At the top of the half pipe, Harvey says I ACCIDENTLY FELL.
LIKE THIS.
Harvey rides down and shoots up into the air and says WHOOAA!
Flick says WOW HARVEY, YOU'RE
MOVING REALLY FAST.
WAY FASTER THAN OPAL.
Harvey says AHHHH! THIS WAS A MISTAKE.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE
STARTED SO HIGH!
Flick says OF COURSE!
HARVEY STARTED HIGHER,
SO HE HAS MORE MOMENTUM.
Harvey falls down and says AHHH!
OOOF!
Harvey runs into Flick and says MOM-MEANT WHATIE?
MOMENTUM.
Flick says IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU RIDE
YOUR BIKE DOWN A HILL...
THE STEEPER THE HILL,
THE HARDER IT IS TO STOP.
Opal says RIGHT, BECAUSE
OF HOW FAST YOU'RE GOING
AND HOW MUCH YOU WEIGH.
Harvey says I'M NOT HEAVY, I'M BIG BONED.
Flick says WE NEED TO TELL MEL!
The bugs stand with Mel at the top of the half pipe and she says I DON'T KNOW!
I'VE NEVER GONE THIS
HIGH ON THE RAMP BEFORE.
Harvey says I WASN'T SURE EITHER, BUT THEN
I REMEMBERED HOW BRAVE YOU ARE,
AND HOW HARD YOU TRY, AND WELL,
IT MADE ME A LITTLE BRAVER TOO.
AND I KIND OF SLIPPED.
Mel says AW, YOU'RE GONNA
MAKE ME ALL MISTY.
GIMME A FIST BUMP, JELLY BEAN.
They fist bump, Harvey rolls, and he says LET'S DO THIS THING!
AHHHH!
THIS WAS A MISTAKE!
AHHHH!
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
WHOAAA!
Mel starts to ride and says READY?
Harvey says READY!
They both launch in the air and come back down.
Flick says THIS IS GOING TO BE
SUCH A GREAT STORY!
They take a picture.
Now Flick uploads the report back at the office and says DONE AND DONE!
HARVEY, RAISE THE ROOF!
They all say IT'S GLOW TIME!
The three glow worms appear on a large screen above the whole town and sing HERE'S THE LATEST BUZZ!
THEY WERE STUCK IN A MESS,
THEY HAD TO TAKE ACTION.
SHINE A LIGHT
ON THE SITUATION.
HOLD THE PRESSES.
TAKE A BREATH NOW.
WHO, WHAT, WHERE,
WHEN, WHY, AND HOW.
AND THEY LOOKED ALL AROUND
AND THEY FOUND THE ANSWER...
BY USING THEIR 5 SENSES.
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THIS JUST IN...
THEY BROKE THE STORY!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP, SCOOP!
THIS JUST IN...
AND THAT'S THE NEWS!
Back in the office, Gordon says GREAT STORY SHUTTERBUGS!
THERE'S NO QUESTION
MEL IS GOING TO WIN
HER GOLD MEDALS THIS YEAR!
Opal says FOR SURE!
SHE'S THE BEST!
Flick says I'M JUST GLAD WE GOT TO SPEND
SOME TIME PRACTISING WITH HER.
THAT WAS AMAZING!
Harvey rides on the skateboard through the office and says YEAH!
EXCEPT, I JUST WISH SHE TAUGHT
ME HOW TO STOP THIS THING!
HELP!
The episode ends.
Flick flies through the night sky and says IT'S TIME TO LIGHT THINGS UP.
Now a shot of the forest city features the episode title that reads "Band Aid."
[PHONE RINGING]
Flick looks at his watch.
Gordon says FLICK!
YOU HAVE TO HURRY!
I HAVE SOME ROCKIN' NEWS!
Flick says BE THERE IN A FLASH, BOSS!
Flick, Harvey, and Opal walk into Gordon?s office and Flick says HEY GUYS, GOOD TIMING!
UH, WHERE'S GORDON?
Opal says GORDON?
Harvey says HELLO?
In a picture frame of Gordon standing on a stage holding a microphone with a band in the background, Gordon says SHUTTERBUGS!
THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE!
Gordon jumps out of the picture and says THE BATTLE OF THE BUG
BANDS STARTS TODAY.
IT'S THE MARSH'S BIGGEST
MUSICAL EVENT OF THE YEAR.
LOOK!
Flick says IT'S... UH, KIND OF HARD
TO SEE THE PERFORMERS.
Gordon says EXACTLY!
WE'VE NEVER BEEN UP CLOSE
AND PERSONAL BEFORE.
THAT'S THE EXTRA BIG SURPRISE!
Harvey says BACKSTAGE PASSES?
Gordon says BETTER.
ON-STAGE PASSES!
I'VE SIGNED YOU UP
TO COMPETE FOR THE
BATTLE OF THE BUG BAND TROPHY!
Harvey says THIS IS AWESOME!
I CAN'T WAIT!
WOOHOO!
Flick says UMM, BUT WE'VE NEVER
PLAYED AS A BAND BEFORE.
Opal says WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A NAME.
Gordon says NOT TO WORRY, THERE'S
STILL TIME TO PRACTICE
AND FIGURE ALL THAT OUT.
NOW, OFF YOU GO.
I KNOW YOU'LL BE A HIT!
They walk out and Flick says HEH. RIGHT!
The glow worms in the office dance and sing I GUESS WE'RE GOING TO BE
SHEDDING THE SPOTLIGHT ON
OURSELVES FOR THIS STORY.
I THINK...
WE CAN HELP.
WE CAN HELP.
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE DARK
OR LOST IN THE PARK
UH OH, WHAT?
DO YOU HEAR THAT FLY?
OH, WHAT'S THAT IN THE SKY?
ASK YOURSELF:
WHO, WHAT, WHERE,
WHEN, WHY, AND HOW.
IT'S TIME
WE SHED SOME LIGHT!
LIGHT! REAL BRIGHT!
LET'S MAKE IT
ALL SHINE - ALL RIGHT!
IT'S TIME
WE SHED SOME LIGHT!
EVERYTHING
WILL BE ALL RIGHT!
SHED SOME LIGHT!
Outside the office at night, Flick says ALRIGHT GUYS, LET'S
START WITH WHAT WE KNOW.
WHO?
Opal says US.
PLAYING MUSIC.
IN A BAND.
SOMEHOW.
Harvey says WHAT?
BATTLE OF THE BUG BANDS!
WOOHOO!
WHERE?
Flick says AT THE MURKY STADIUM.
WHEN?
Opal says TODAY.
LIKE, RIGHT NOW.
WHY?
Harvey says BECAUSE IT'S GOING
TO BE AWESOME!
HOW?
Flick says BY GETTING IN SOME PRACTICE
AND GIVING IT OUR BEST SHOT.
LET'S DO THIS.
Harvey says AWESOME!
A band plays at the stadium.
They finish playing and Harvey says AMAZING PRACTICE YOU
GUYS, BUT WE CAN DO BETTER.
OK GUYS, JUST FOLLOW MY LEAD.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO.
READY?
Harvey sits at the drums, Opal grabs the piano, and Flick plays the guitar.
Harvey says ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!
The shutterbugs start playing.
Harvey hits the drums so hard that he falls over and Opal says HARVEY?
HARVEY, ARE YOU OKAY?
Harvey says YEAH, DON'T WORRY!
I'M TOTALLY OKAY.
They take a picture.
After practice, Harvey looks in the mirror with a band aid on his head and says I'M SO NOT OKAY.
Flick says CAN YOU KEEP PLAYING?
ON STAGE?
Harvey says LOOKING LIKE THIS?
I UH...
I DON'T THINK I CAN PLAY.
I'M PRETTY SURE I
BRUISED MY BRAIN BALL.
AND BESIDES, WE DON'T
EVEN HAVE A BAND NAME. MAYBE...
MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST
BACK OUT OF THE COMPETITION.
Flick says HMM, YOU'RE DEFINITELY ACTING...
OFF.
MAYBE WE SHOULD GET
YOU LOOKED AT, HARVEY.
Opal says FLICK'S RIGHT.
A QUICK VISIT TO THE
DOCTOR'S SHOULD HELP.
The bugs walk into the doctor?s office where they see Floyd, the red-headed fly with a bandage over his eyes running into different things in the waiting room.
Floyd says HUH HUH.
OOF!
SORRY FELLA.
BOY, YOU ARE ONE SKINNY BUG.
Flick says FLOYD!
Floyd says OY FLICK?
IS THAT YOU?
HEH, RAN INTO ANOTHER
WINDOW THIS MORNING.
Flick says OUCH. YOU OKAY?
Floyd says BAH, I'M USED TO IT.
BESIDES, I'M GETTING REALLY GOOD
AT NOT SEEING WHERE I'M GOING.
Floyd runs into Harvey and says OOF! PARDON.
THAT YOU HARVEY?
WHAT'S THIS FUNNY
BUMP ON YOUR NOODLE?
Harvey says THIS IS NO GOOD.
NO GOOD.
Harvey runs away, Floyd removes his bandage, and says HEY! YOU'VE GOT A BANDAGE TOO!
WE CAN START OUR OWN CLUB!
Harvey says I JUST WANT IT TO GO AWAY.
Floyd says OH, IT WILL.
NEW SKIN WILL REPLACE THE OLD
SKIN, SEALING IT UP WITH A SCAB.
Harvey says A SCAB?
I'LL HAVE SCAB HEAD?
Floyd says AND THEN, WHEN THE SKIN
UNDERNEATH IS SAFE,
THE SCAB COMES OFF EASY PEASY!
TAKES ABOUT A WEEK.
MAYBE TWO.
YOU'LL LET ME KNOW WHEN
YOURS COMES OFF RIGHT?
I HAVE A COLLECTION!
Harvey says A WEEK OR TWO?
SORRY YOU GUYS, BUT
THE BAND IS DONE.
WE'LL NEVER GET OUR STORY NOW...
OR OUR TROPHY.
Opal says DON'T GIVE UP YET, HARVEY.
MAYBE WE COULD GET A
FILL-IN DRUMMER?
SOMEONE TO PLAY YOUR PART
UNTIL YOU'RE FEELING BETTER?
Harvey says I... I GUESS.
I MEAN, IT'LL BE HARD FOR
SOMEONE TO BE AS AWESOME
AS I AM ON DRUMS, BUT IF
IT HELPS OUR STORY...
I GUESS IT'S WORTH A TRY.
Back in the stadium, the bugs watch as the three glow worms audition for the drums. Then Boris, a large bee with a moustache plays. Then Floyd tries. Lastly, Skeeter, the green mosquito with a red and gray shirt, plays.
Opal says HE'S AMAZING!
Harvey says NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
THAT'S ALL WRONG!
IT'S...
IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.
WE HAVE TO PULL OUT
OF THE COMPETITION!
Harvey flies away.
Opal and Flick go look for him and Flick says HARVEY!
HARVEY! COME BACK!
Opal says WHAT DO YOU THINK
IS WRONG?
Flick says I'M NOT SURE.
HE'S A REAL
MYSTERY SOMETIMES.
They both say DETECTIVE DEBBIE!
Detective Debbie says SORRY I'M LATE,
SHUTTERBUGS!
HEY, WHERE'S MY MAN, HARVEY?
Flick says WE'RE NOT SURE.
HE RAN OFF IN THE
MIDDLE OF REHEARSAL.
Opal says HE'S BEEN ACTING ODD
EVER SINCE WE PUT THAT
BANDAGE ON HIS NOGGIN.
Detective Debbie says BANDAGED BOBO?
HUH. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THAT
HEAD OF HIS MAY NOT BE THE
ONLY THING HE'S COVERING UP.
A muffled call comes in over Debbie?s walkie talkie.
Detective Debbie says ROGER THAT.
SORRY SHUTTERBUGS, GOTTA JET.
GOOD LUCK WITH HARVEY
AND YOUR STORY.
DEBS OUT!
Debbie disappears in a green trunk.
Flick says DEBBIE'S RIGHT.
IT FEELS LIKE HARVEY'S COVERING
UP A BIGGER STORY HERE.
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE
SENSE OF THIS...
BY USING OUR SENSES!
The glow worms dance and sing OOOH, WE CAN HELP WITH THAT.
TELL ME 'BOUT THE SENSES.
SEEING.
HEARING.
TELL ME MORE, TELL ME MORE.
SMELLING.
TASTING.
THERE'S ONE MORE
SENSE YOU KNOW.
OH YEAH, TOUCHING!
ALL FIVE SENSES.
NOW IT'S MAKING SENSE.
LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA.
YOU GOTTA USE
ALL YOUR SENSES.
OH YEAH!
LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA.
IT'S REALLY,
REALLY,
REALLY...
MAKING SENSE!
Flick looks at his watch and selects the ears.
The ears attach to Opal and Flick and Flick says OUR SENSE OF HEARING
SHOULD DO THE TRICK.
Flick and Opal walk through the marsh with the ears and Flick says LET'S GLOW!
Opal says YOU HEAR THAT?
Flick says DRUMMING... AND I
HEAR SOMETHING ELSE.
COME ON!
They see Harvey playing acorn tops and Flick says HARVEY!
Opal says YOU... YOU CAN PLAY!
Flick says HARVEY, WHY AREN'T
YOU LOOKING AT US?
HARVEY, ARE YOU WORRIED
ABOUT THE WAY YOU LOOK?
Harvey says LOOK AWAY,
I'M HIDEOUS!
I DON'T WANT TO BE THE WEIRD
LOOKING BUG ON STAGE...
IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.
BUT, I DON'T WANT
TO NOT PLAY EITHER.
Flick says YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THE
THINGS YOU THINK ARE WEIRD
OR DIFFERENT, ARE
ACTUALLY PRETTY COOL.
IT ALL DEPENDS HOW
YOU LOOK AT IT.
Harvey says I DON'T WANT TO
LOOK AT THIS AT ALL.
Opal says COME ON, BUD!
PEOPLE LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU
ARE, NOT WHAT'S ON YOUR HEAD.
BESIDE, YOU'RE WAY TOO GOOD
AT DRUMMING TO MISS THIS.
Harvey says BUT EVERYONE WILL
BE STARING AT ME.
THEN LET'S GIVE THEM
SOMETHING TO REALLY STARE AT.
The bugs watch the first band play.
The band goes off stage and Harvey sits by the drums with a lightning bolt painted on his band aid.
They take a picture.
Harvey says ONE HORSEFLY, TWO HORSEFLIES,
THREE HORSEFLIES...
Bugs from the crowd say WHAT THE MATTER WITH HIM?
IS HE OKAY?
HUH, IS HE GOING TO
PLAY THOSE THINGS?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
Harvey says OKAY, JUST KEEP COOL.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR...
Both Opal and Flick wear band aids with lightning bolts.
Flick says WOOHOO! YEAH!
TAKE IT AWAY, HARVEY!
YEAH! WOOHOO!
ALRIGHT! ROCK ON!
The host, a green caterpillar with a brow moustache and a purple blazer, says LET'S HEAR
IT FOR OUR WINNERS...
THE, UHH...
Flick says HARVEY AND THE
LIGHTNING BOLTS!
Back at the office, Flick uploads the report and says DONE AND DONE!
HARVEY, RAISE THE ROOF!
They all say IT'S GLOW TIME!
The three glow worms appear on a large screen above the whole town and sing HERE'S THE LATEST BUZZ!
THEY WERE STUCK IN A MESS,
THEY HAD TO TAKE ACTION.
SHINE A LIGHT
ON THE SITUATION.
HOLD THE PRESSES.
TAKE A BREATH NOW.
WHO, WHAT, WHERE,
WHEN, WHY, AND HOW.
AND THEY LOOKED ALL AROUND
AND THEY FOUND THE ANSWER...
BY USING THEIR 5 SENSES.
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THIS JUST IN...
THEY BROKE THE STORY!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP, SCOOP!
THIS JUST IN...
AND THAT'S THE NEWS!
Back in the office, Gordon says GREAT STORY, SHUTTERBUGS!
CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING
THE BATTLE OF THE BUG BANDS.
Harvey says DID YOU SEE OUR FANS?
EVERYONE'S WEARING BANDAGES NOW.
I STARTED A NEW FASHION!
Gordon says YES, WELL, IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING
CONFIDENT IN WHO YOU ARE AND-...
Harvey says IT'S SO COOL LOOKING LIKE THIS!
SOMETIMES LOOKING DIFFERENT
IS THE BEST THING EVER.
Gordon says HEH, IT JUST DEPENDS ON-...
Harvey says IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW YOU
LOOK AT THINGS, RIGHT?
HEY, MAYBE NEXT TIME WE
CAN HAVE BLUE BAN-...
Opal puts a band aid over Harvey?s mouth and says PHEW!
BEING CONFIDENT AND
MODEST IS A GOOD THING.
Flick draws red lipstick on the band aid and says ONE LAST TOUCH.
The show ends and the credits roll.

[PHONE RINGING]
Flick looks at his watch and Gordon says FLICK! I'VE GOT A GOLD
MEDAL-WORTHY STORY FOR YOU!
Gordon is an elderly caterpillar with a white goatee and glasses.
Flick says BE THERE IN A FLASH, BOSS!
Flick, Harvey, and Opal walk into Gordon?s office and Flick says HEY GUYS, GOOD TIMING!
BUT UH, WHERE'S GORDON?
Opal says BOSS?
Harvey says GORDON?
In a picture frame of an award ceremony, Gordon stands on first prize and says SHUTTERBUGS, THANK
GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE!
He jumps out of the picture frame and says WE'VE GOT BREAKING NEWS TO
COVER - MANIAC MEL IS IN TOWN.
Opal says YOU MEAN MANIAC MEL,
THE FAMOUS ATHLETE?
Gordon points to the computer screen and a picture of Mel holding a trophy appears on screen.
Gordon says PRECISELY!
Flick says SWEET!
SHE'S WON MORE GOLD MEDALS
THAN ANYONE IN THE MARSH.
Harvey says THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
Opal says YEAH, MEL'S FEARLESS!
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET HER.
Gordon says AND MEET HER YOU WILL.
SHE'S IN TOWN FOR TRAINING,
AND I WANT THE SHUTTERBUGS
TO COVER THE STORY.
Flick says NO PROBLEM, GORDON.
WE'LL GET THE SCOOP, AND SHED
SOME LIGHT ON THIS STORY!
The three glow worms in the office sit and sing I THINK...
WE CAN HELP.
WE CAN HELP.
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE DARK
OR LOST IN THE PARK

OH, WHAT'S THAT IN THE SKY?
ASK YOURSELF:

Outside of the building at night, Flick says OK GUYS. LET'S START WITH
THE THINGS WE KNOW.
WHO?
Opal says MANIAC MEL!
WHAT?
Harvey says SHE'S TRAINING!
WHERE?
Flick says AT THE SPORTS CENTER!
WHEN?
Opal says RIGHT NOW!
WHY?
Harvey says PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.
BUT HOW CAN YOU PRACTICE
IF YOU DON'T HAVE LEGS?
Flick says THERE'S ONLY ONE
WAY TO FIND OUT.
COME ON!
They fly over to the track and find Mel, a beige worm riding around in a wheelchair.
Opal says THAT WAS-...
AMAZING!
Flick says HUH!
Opal runs over and says I AM SO MEETED TO EXCITE YOU...
I MEAN EXCITED TO MEET YOU.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
Mel says I'M MEL, MANIAC MEL.
THE ROUGHEST TOUGHEST BUG
THIS SIDE OF ANYWHERE!
Flick says GREAT TO MEET YOU, MEL! I'M
FLICK. THIS IS OPAL AND...
HARVEY?
Mel says HEYA HARVEY!
YOU LOOK LIKE A STRONG,
MEAN JELLY BEAN.
Harvey says WELL, I DON'T LIKE
TO BRAG BUT...
Mel says PROBABLY HAVE A WICKED
SLAP SHOT, AM I RIGHT?
HOW ABOUT YOU COME HELP
ME WITH HOCKEY PRACTICE?
Harvey says HOCKEY?
GUYS, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
Opal says WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
Harvey says WELL, MEL DOESN'T
HAVE LEGS, RIGHT?
I'M NOT A DETECTIVE OR ANYTHING,
BUT-...
They all say DETECTIVE DEBBIE!
Detective Debbie pops out of thin air. Detective Debbie is a pink dragonfly who wears a blue police uniform.
Detective Debbie says SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG
TO GET HERE, SHUTTERBUGS.
I'VE BEEN... WOWZA!
IS THAT MANIAC MEL OVER THERE?
Harvey says SHE WANTS US TO PRACTICE
HOCKEY WITH HER, BUT HOW?
SHE'S... SHE'S-
Detective Debbie says HARVEY, MY MAN, DID YOU KNOW I
GREW UP WITH A MISSING WING?
I COULDN'T FLY LIKE
MY OTHER FRIENDS,
BUT I NEVER LET IT SLOW ME DOWN.
IN FACT, IT HELPED SPEED ME UP!
Flick says BECAUSE NOW YOU USE
YOUR HELICOPTER, RIGHT?
Detective Debbie says THAT'S RIGHT!
JUST LIKE MEL USES
HER WHEELCHAIR.
AND NOW I CAN GET AROUND
FASTER THAN ANYBODY!
A muffled call comes in over Debbie?s walkie talkie.
Detective Debbie says ROGER THAT.
SORRY SHUTTERBUGS, GOTTA JET!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR STORY.
DEBS OUT!
Debbie dives into an orange pylon.
Flick says DEBBIE'S RIGHT, HARVEY.
WE USE MACHINES EVERY
DAY TO GET AROUND -
BIKES, CARS, SKATEBOARDS.
Opal says IT DOESN'T CHANGE WHO WE ARE,
IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT
WAY OF MOVING.
Flick says EXACTLY!
Opal says LET'S GO PRACTICE.
WE'LL GET OUR STORY AND
HAVE FUN, YOU'LL SEE!
They fly over to a hockey rink and they all wear helmets, ice skates, and pads.
Mel stands in the hockey goal, passes him the puck, and says HEYA HARVEY!
TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT.
Harvey winds up and barely taps the puck.
Mel says YOU CAN DO BETTER
THAN THAT, JELLY BEAN!
SHOOT IT.
Flick skates by, grabs the puck with his stick, and shoots it. Mel grabs it before it goes in and they take a picture.
Harvey skates over and says YOU MADE THAT
LOOK EASY! AAAH...
Harvey slips, falls, and says WHOOOAH...
OOF!
Mel says GOOD START
NEXT TIME, PUT THE PUCK
INTO THE NET, NOT YOU.
YOU GUYS WANT TO
SHOOT SOME HOOPS NEXT?
COME ON, JELLY BEAN!
Later on, the bugs place basketball on the court. Flick tosses Harvey a basketball that hits him in the face.
Flick says YIKES!
HARVEY, YOU OK?
Harvey says OH, YEAH... JUST, UH,
WARMING UP... MY FACE.
Mel stands by the basketball net and says OVER HERE, OVER HERE!
Harvey says OK.
HERE IT COMES.
A ONESIE,
A TWOSIE, A THR...
Mel rides by, grabs the ball, and shoots it into the basket.
The bugs say WHOA!
Mel says YOUR TURN, OPAL!
Opal starts to dribble. She passes it back to Harvey hitting him in the face.
Harvey says OOOOF!
WHY IS THIS SO HARD?
Mel gets the ball and says THIS IS CALLED
A BASKETBALL,
NOT A FACEBALL, JELLY BEAN.
Harvey says RIGHT, HEH.
GUESS I NEED TO
WORK ON MY MOVES.
UM, HOW DID YOU GET SO GOOD AT
IT WHEN YOU CAN'T REALLY...
YOU KNOW, MOVE...THAT MUCH.
Mel says CAN'T MOVE?
WELL, I HAVEN'T FIGURED
OUT HOW TO JUMP, YET.
BUT I CAN DEFINITELY MOVE!
I CAN TURN,
SPIN,
AND ROLL SUPER FAST!
I CAN GET AROUND PRETTY
GOOD, DON'T YOU THINK?
Harvey says BETTER THAN ME, THAT'S FOR SURE.
YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP
AT IT AND PRACTICE.
YOU'LL GET IT.
Harvey dribbles the ball across the court and says OOF!
Mel says COME ON JELLY BEAN!
YOU CAN DO IT!
Harvey jumps in slow motion, shoots, falls, and misses. Mel comes up behind him and scores the ball in the net.
Harvey says BASKETBALLING REALLY
ISN'T MY THING.
Mel says HEH, PRACTICE,
PRACTICE, PRACTICE!
SPEAKING OF WHICH, THE ONE
THING I NEED TO WORK ON IS MY
FREESTYLE EVENT.
WANT TO HELP?
Harvey says FREESTYLE?
Now the bugs watch as Mel skateboards on a half pipe.
Flick says THAT WAS AWESOME!
Mel says GETTING THERE!
IT'S NOT A NORMAL WHEELCHAIR
SPORT, BUT I LOVE IT.
JUST HAVEN'T FIGURED
OUT HOW TO JUMP YET!
Opal says IT LOOKS KIND OF SCARY.
IT'S LIKE ANYTHING, YOU
JUST NEED TO START OFF SMALL
AND SAFE.
Harvey says YEAH, STARTING OFF
SMALL WOULD BE BETTER.
THIS IS WAY TOO HIGH.
Harvey tries to walk off of the half pipe but slips on a skateboard and says I'M COMING DOOWWNN... AHHHHH!
AHH!
He shoots way up high and says WHAT DO I DO?
WHAT DO I DO?
Flick says YOUR WINGS HARVEY!
Harvey says AHHHH!
Flick says FLY!
Harvey flaps his wings and buzzes over to the bugs.
Mel says GREAT JOB!
YOU JUMPED!
SOMETHING I'VE NEVER
BEEN ABLE TO DO.
Harvey says I DID?
I DID!
Mel says HEH, GUESS I NEED
TO KEEP PRACTICING.
BACK IN 5 GUYS, I JUST...NEED A LITTLE BREAK.
Mel rides away.
Harvey says I DON'T GET IT.
HOW WAS I ABLE TO JUMP LIKE
A PRO WHEN MEL COULDN'T?
Flick says THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, HARVEY.
I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SENSE
OF THIS...BY USING OUR SENSES!
The glow worms dance and sing OOOH, WE CAN HELP WITH THAT.
TELL ME 'BOUT THE SENSES.
SEEING.
HEARING.
TELL ME MORE, TELL ME MORE.
SMELLING.
TASTING.
THERE'S ONE MORE
SENSE YOU KNOW.
OH YEAH, TOUCHING!
ALL FIVE SENSES.
NOW IT'S MAKING SENSE.
LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA.
YOU GOTTA USE
ALL YOUR SENSES.
OH YEAH!
LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA.
IT'S REALLY,
REALLY,
REALLY...
MAKING SENSE!
Opal hangs on her spider web at the top of the half pipe.
Flick says READY OPAL?
Flick looks at his watch and selects the touch option.
Opal releases, touches the half pipe, and says UH-HUH!
IT'S SMOOTH!
REALLY SMOOTH.
NOTHING WRONG WITH THE RAMP.
Opal pulls herself up on the other side and says BUT I CAN'T GET CLOSE TO
JUMPING LIKE HARVEY DID.
Flick says HMM, SO WHAT DID HARVEY
DO THAT'S DIFFERENT?
At the top of the half pipe, Harvey says I ACCIDENTLY FELL.
LIKE THIS.
Harvey rides down and shoots up into the air and says WHOOAA!
Flick says WOW HARVEY, YOU'RE
MOVING REALLY FAST.
WAY FASTER THAN OPAL.
Harvey says AHHHH! THIS WAS A MISTAKE.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE
STARTED SO HIGH!
Flick says OF COURSE!
HARVEY STARTED HIGHER,
SO HE HAS MORE MOMENTUM.
Harvey falls down and says AHHH!
OOOF!
Harvey runs into Flick and says MOM-MEANT WHATIE?
MOMENTUM.
Flick says IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU RIDE
YOUR BIKE DOWN A HILL...
THE STEEPER THE HILL,
THE HARDER IT IS TO STOP.
Opal says RIGHT, BECAUSE
OF HOW FAST YOU'RE GOING
AND HOW MUCH YOU WEIGH.
Harvey says I'M NOT HEAVY, I'M BIG BONED.
Flick says WE NEED TO TELL MEL!
The bugs stand with Mel at the top of the half pipe and she says I DON'T KNOW!
I'VE NEVER GONE THIS
HIGH ON THE RAMP BEFORE.
Harvey says I WASN'T SURE EITHER, BUT THEN
I REMEMBERED HOW BRAVE YOU ARE,
AND HOW HARD YOU TRY, AND WELL,
IT MADE ME A LITTLE BRAVER TOO.
AND I KIND OF SLIPPED.
Mel says AW, YOU'RE GONNA
MAKE ME ALL MISTY.
GIMME A FIST BUMP, JELLY BEAN.
They fist bump, Harvey rolls, and he says LET'S DO THIS THING!
AHHHH!
THIS WAS A MISTAKE!
AHHHH!
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!
WHOAAA!
Mel starts to ride and says READY?
Harvey says READY!
They both launch in the air and come back down.
Flick says THIS IS GOING TO BE
SUCH A GREAT STORY!
They take a picture.
Now Flick uploads the report back at the office and says DONE AND DONE!
HARVEY, RAISE THE ROOF!
They all say IT'S GLOW TIME!
The three glow worms appear on a large screen above the whole town and sing HERE'S THE LATEST BUZZ!
THEY WERE STUCK IN A MESS,
THEY HAD TO TAKE ACTION.
SHINE A LIGHT
ON THE SITUATION.
HOLD THE PRESSES.
TAKE A BREATH NOW.
WHO, WHAT, WHERE,
WHEN, WHY, AND HOW.
AND THEY LOOKED ALL AROUND
AND THEY FOUND THE ANSWER...
BY USING THEIR 5 SENSES.
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THIS JUST IN...
THEY BROKE THE STORY!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP, SCOOP!
THIS JUST IN...
AND THAT'S THE NEWS!
Back in the office, Gordon says GREAT STORY SHUTTERBUGS!
THERE'S NO QUESTION
MEL IS GOING TO WIN
HER GOLD MEDALS THIS YEAR!
Opal says FOR SURE!
SHE'S THE BEST!
Flick says I'M JUST GLAD WE GOT TO SPEND
SOME TIME PRACTISING WITH HER.
THAT WAS AMAZING!
Harvey rides on the skateboard through the office and says YEAH!
EXCEPT, I JUST WISH SHE TAUGHT
ME HOW TO STOP THIS THING!
HELP!
The episode ends.
Flick flies through the night sky and says IT'S TIME TO LIGHT THINGS UP.
Now a shot of the forest city features the episode title that reads "Band Aid."
[PHONE RINGING]
Flick looks at his watch.
Gordon says FLICK!
YOU HAVE TO HURRY!
I HAVE SOME ROCKIN' NEWS!
Flick says BE THERE IN A FLASH, BOSS!
Flick, Harvey, and Opal walk into Gordon?s office and Flick says HEY GUYS, GOOD TIMING!
UH, WHERE'S GORDON?
Opal says GORDON?
Harvey says HELLO?
In a picture frame of Gordon standing on a stage holding a microphone with a band in the background, Gordon says SHUTTERBUGS!
THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE!
Gordon jumps out of the picture and says THE BATTLE OF THE BUG
BANDS STARTS TODAY.
IT'S THE MARSH'S BIGGEST
MUSICAL EVENT OF THE YEAR.
LOOK!
Flick says IT'S... UH, KIND OF HARD
TO SEE THE PERFORMERS.
Gordon says EXACTLY!
WE'VE NEVER BEEN UP CLOSE
AND PERSONAL BEFORE.
THAT'S THE EXTRA BIG SURPRISE!
Harvey says BACKSTAGE PASSES?
Gordon says BETTER.
ON-STAGE PASSES!
I'VE SIGNED YOU UP
TO COMPETE FOR THE
BATTLE OF THE BUG BAND TROPHY!
Harvey says THIS IS AWESOME!
I CAN'T WAIT!
WOOHOO!
Flick says UMM, BUT WE'VE NEVER
PLAYED AS A BAND BEFORE.
Opal says WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A NAME.
Gordon says NOT TO WORRY, THERE'S
STILL TIME TO PRACTICE
AND FIGURE ALL THAT OUT.
NOW, OFF YOU GO.
I KNOW YOU'LL BE A HIT!
They walk out and Flick says HEH. RIGHT!
The glow worms in the office dance and sing I GUESS WE'RE GOING TO BE
SHEDDING THE SPOTLIGHT ON
OURSELVES FOR THIS STORY.
I THINK...
WE CAN HELP.
WE CAN HELP.
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE DARK
OR LOST IN THE PARK
UH OH, WHAT?
DO YOU HEAR THAT FLY?
OH, WHAT'S THAT IN THE SKY?
ASK YOURSELF:
WHO, WHAT, WHERE,
WHEN, WHY, AND HOW.
IT'S TIME
WE SHED SOME LIGHT!
LIGHT! REAL BRIGHT!
LET'S MAKE IT
ALL SHINE - ALL RIGHT!
IT'S TIME
WE SHED SOME LIGHT!
EVERYTHING
WILL BE ALL RIGHT!
SHED SOME LIGHT!
Outside the office at night, Flick says ALRIGHT GUYS, LET'S
START WITH WHAT WE KNOW.
WHO?
Opal says US.
PLAYING MUSIC.
IN A BAND.
SOMEHOW.
Harvey says WHAT?
BATTLE OF THE BUG BANDS!
WOOHOO!
WHERE?
Flick says AT THE MURKY STADIUM.
WHEN?
Opal says TODAY.
LIKE, RIGHT NOW.
WHY?
Harvey says BECAUSE IT'S GOING
TO BE AWESOME!
HOW?
Flick says BY GETTING IN SOME PRACTICE
AND GIVING IT OUR BEST SHOT.
LET'S DO THIS.
Harvey says AWESOME!
A band plays at the stadium.
They finish playing and Harvey says AMAZING PRACTICE YOU
GUYS, BUT WE CAN DO BETTER.
OK GUYS, JUST FOLLOW MY LEAD.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
I'M GOING TO DO.
READY?
Harvey sits at the drums, Opal grabs the piano, and Flick plays the guitar.
Harvey says ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR!
The shutterbugs start playing.
Harvey hits the drums so hard that he falls over and Opal says HARVEY?
HARVEY, ARE YOU OKAY?
Harvey says YEAH, DON'T WORRY!
I'M TOTALLY OKAY.
They take a picture.
After practice, Harvey looks in the mirror with a band aid on his head and says I'M SO NOT OKAY.
Flick says CAN YOU KEEP PLAYING?
ON STAGE?
Harvey says LOOKING LIKE THIS?
I UH...
I DON'T THINK I CAN PLAY.
I'M PRETTY SURE I
BRUISED MY BRAIN BALL.
AND BESIDES, WE DON'T
EVEN HAVE A BAND NAME. MAYBE...
MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST
BACK OUT OF THE COMPETITION.
Flick says HMM, YOU'RE DEFINITELY ACTING...
OFF.
MAYBE WE SHOULD GET
YOU LOOKED AT, HARVEY.
Opal says FLICK'S RIGHT.
A QUICK VISIT TO THE
DOCTOR'S SHOULD HELP.
The bugs walk into the doctor?s office where they see Floyd, the red-headed fly with a bandage over his eyes running into different things in the waiting room.
Floyd says HUH HUH.
OOF!
SORRY FELLA.
BOY, YOU ARE ONE SKINNY BUG.
Flick says FLOYD!
Floyd says OY FLICK?
IS THAT YOU?
HEH, RAN INTO ANOTHER
WINDOW THIS MORNING.
Flick says OUCH. YOU OKAY?
Floyd says BAH, I'M USED TO IT.
BESIDES, I'M GETTING REALLY GOOD
AT NOT SEEING WHERE I'M GOING.
Floyd runs into Harvey and says OOF! PARDON.
THAT YOU HARVEY?
WHAT'S THIS FUNNY
BUMP ON YOUR NOODLE?
Harvey says THIS IS NO GOOD.
NO GOOD.
Harvey runs away, Floyd removes his bandage, and says HEY! YOU'VE GOT A BANDAGE TOO!
WE CAN START OUR OWN CLUB!
Harvey says I JUST WANT IT TO GO AWAY.
Floyd says OH, IT WILL.
NEW SKIN WILL REPLACE THE OLD
SKIN, SEALING IT UP WITH A SCAB.
Harvey says A SCAB?
I'LL HAVE SCAB HEAD?
Floyd says AND THEN, WHEN THE SKIN
UNDERNEATH IS SAFE,
THE SCAB COMES OFF EASY PEASY!
TAKES ABOUT A WEEK.
MAYBE TWO.
YOU'LL LET ME KNOW WHEN
YOURS COMES OFF RIGHT?
I HAVE A COLLECTION!
Harvey says A WEEK OR TWO?
SORRY YOU GUYS, BUT
THE BAND IS DONE.
WE'LL NEVER GET OUR STORY NOW...
OR OUR TROPHY.
Opal says DON'T GIVE UP YET, HARVEY.
MAYBE WE COULD GET A
FILL-IN DRUMMER?
SOMEONE TO PLAY YOUR PART
UNTIL YOU'RE FEELING BETTER?
Harvey says I... I GUESS.
I MEAN, IT'LL BE HARD FOR
SOMEONE TO BE AS AWESOME
AS I AM ON DRUMS, BUT IF
IT HELPS OUR STORY...
I GUESS IT'S WORTH A TRY.
Back in the stadium, the bugs watch as the three glow worms audition for the drums. Then Boris, a large bee with a moustache plays. Then Floyd tries. Lastly, Skeeter, the green mosquito with a red and gray shirt, plays.
Opal says HE'S AMAZING!
Harvey says NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
THAT'S ALL WRONG!
IT'S...
IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.
WE HAVE TO PULL OUT
OF THE COMPETITION!
Harvey flies away.
Opal and Flick go look for him and Flick says HARVEY!
HARVEY! COME BACK!
Opal says WHAT DO YOU THINK
IS WRONG?
Flick says I'M NOT SURE.
HE'S A REAL
MYSTERY SOMETIMES.
They both say DETECTIVE DEBBIE!
Detective Debbie says SORRY I'M LATE,
SHUTTERBUGS!
HEY, WHERE'S MY MAN, HARVEY?
Flick says WE'RE NOT SURE.
HE RAN OFF IN THE
MIDDLE OF REHEARSAL.
Opal says HE'S BEEN ACTING ODD
EVER SINCE WE PUT THAT
BANDAGE ON HIS NOGGIN.
Detective Debbie says BANDAGED BOBO?
HUH. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THAT
HEAD OF HIS MAY NOT BE THE
ONLY THING HE'S COVERING UP.
A muffled call comes in over Debbie?s walkie talkie.
Detective Debbie says ROGER THAT.
SORRY SHUTTERBUGS, GOTTA JET.
GOOD LUCK WITH HARVEY
AND YOUR STORY.
DEBS OUT!
Debbie disappears in a green trunk.
Flick says DEBBIE'S RIGHT.
IT FEELS LIKE HARVEY'S COVERING
UP A BIGGER STORY HERE.
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE
SENSE OF THIS...
BY USING OUR SENSES!
The glow worms dance and sing OOOH, WE CAN HELP WITH THAT.
TELL ME 'BOUT THE SENSES.
SEEING.
HEARING.
TELL ME MORE, TELL ME MORE.
SMELLING.
TASTING.
THERE'S ONE MORE
SENSE YOU KNOW.
OH YEAH, TOUCHING!
ALL FIVE SENSES.
NOW IT'S MAKING SENSE.
LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA.
YOU GOTTA USE
ALL YOUR SENSES.
OH YEAH!
LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA.
IT'S REALLY,
REALLY,
REALLY...
MAKING SENSE!
Flick looks at his watch and selects the ears.
The ears attach to Opal and Flick and Flick says OUR SENSE OF HEARING
SHOULD DO THE TRICK.
Flick and Opal walk through the marsh with the ears and Flick says LET'S GLOW!
Opal says YOU HEAR THAT?
Flick says DRUMMING... AND I
HEAR SOMETHING ELSE.
COME ON!
They see Harvey playing acorn tops and Flick says HARVEY!
Opal says YOU... YOU CAN PLAY!
Flick says HARVEY, WHY AREN'T
YOU LOOKING AT US?
HARVEY, ARE YOU WORRIED
ABOUT THE WAY YOU LOOK?
Harvey says LOOK AWAY,
I'M HIDEOUS!
I DON'T WANT TO BE THE WEIRD
LOOKING BUG ON STAGE...
IN FRONT OF EVERYONE.
BUT, I DON'T WANT
TO NOT PLAY EITHER.
Flick says YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THE
THINGS YOU THINK ARE WEIRD
OR DIFFERENT, ARE
ACTUALLY PRETTY COOL.
IT ALL DEPENDS HOW
YOU LOOK AT IT.
Harvey says I DON'T WANT TO
LOOK AT THIS AT ALL.
Opal says COME ON, BUD!
PEOPLE LOVE YOU FOR WHO YOU
ARE, NOT WHAT'S ON YOUR HEAD.
BESIDE, YOU'RE WAY TOO GOOD
AT DRUMMING TO MISS THIS.
Harvey says BUT EVERYONE WILL
BE STARING AT ME.
THEN LET'S GIVE THEM
SOMETHING TO REALLY STARE AT.
The bugs watch the first band play.
The band goes off stage and Harvey sits by the drums with a lightning bolt painted on his band aid.
They take a picture.
Harvey says ONE HORSEFLY, TWO HORSEFLIES,
THREE HORSEFLIES...
Bugs from the crowd say WHAT THE MATTER WITH HIM?
IS HE OKAY?
HUH, IS HE GOING TO
PLAY THOSE THINGS?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
Harvey says OKAY, JUST KEEP COOL.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR...
Both Opal and Flick wear band aids with lightning bolts.
Flick says WOOHOO! YEAH!
TAKE IT AWAY, HARVEY!
YEAH! WOOHOO!
ALRIGHT! ROCK ON!
The host, a green caterpillar with a brow moustache and a purple blazer, says LET'S HEAR
IT FOR OUR WINNERS...
THE, UHH...
Flick says HARVEY AND THE
LIGHTNING BOLTS!
Back at the office, Flick uploads the report and says DONE AND DONE!
HARVEY, RAISE THE ROOF!
They all say IT'S GLOW TIME!
The three glow worms appear on a large screen above the whole town and sing HERE'S THE LATEST BUZZ!
THEY WERE STUCK IN A MESS,
THEY HAD TO TAKE ACTION.
SHINE A LIGHT
ON THE SITUATION.
HOLD THE PRESSES.
TAKE A BREATH NOW.
WHO, WHAT, WHERE,
WHEN, WHY, AND HOW.
AND THEY LOOKED ALL AROUND
AND THEY FOUND THE ANSWER...
BY USING THEIR 5 SENSES.
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THIS JUST IN...
THEY BROKE THE STORY!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP!
THEY GOT THE SCOOP.
SCOOP, SCOOP!
THIS JUST IN...
AND THAT'S THE NEWS!
Back in the office, Gordon says GREAT STORY, SHUTTERBUGS!
CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING
THE BATTLE OF THE BUG BANDS.
Harvey says DID YOU SEE OUR FANS?
EVERYONE'S WEARING BANDAGES NOW.
I STARTED A NEW FASHION!
Gordon says YES, WELL, IT'S ALL ABOUT BEING
CONFIDENT IN WHO YOU ARE AND-...
Harvey says IT'S SO COOL LOOKING LIKE THIS!
SOMETIMES LOOKING DIFFERENT
IS THE BEST THING EVER.
Gordon says HEH, IT JUST DEPENDS ON-...
Harvey says IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW YOU
LOOK AT THINGS, RIGHT?
HEY, MAYBE NEXT TIME WE
CAN HAVE BLUE BAN-...
Opal puts a band aid over Harvey?s mouth and says PHEW!
BEING CONFIDENT AND
MODEST IS A GOOD THING.
Flick draws red lipstick on the band aid and says ONE LAST TOUCH.
The show ends and the credits roll.
