Transcript: I am Sparkletush / Big Time Trippin
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 "I Am Sparkletush."
[PHONE RINGING]
Flick looks at his watch and Gordon says FLICK, YOU THERE?
WE'VE GOT A STORY SO
FRESH, THE PAINT'S NOT DRY!
Flick says BE THERE IN A FLASH, BOSS!
Gordon is an elderly caterpillar with a white goatee and glasses.
Flick flies back to the office.
Flick, Harvey, and Opal walk into Gordon?s office and Flick says HEY GUYS,
GOOD TIMING!
BUT UH,
WHERE'S GORDON?
Opal says GORDON?
Harvey says G-O-R-D-O..?
In a painting of a geometric building, Gordon says SHUTTERBUGS! THANK GOODNESS
YOU'RE HERE!
He jumps out of the painting and says PAINTINGS LIKE THIS
ONE ARE POPPING UP ALL
OVER MURKY MARSH THIS WEEK.
EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW WHO'S
BEHIND THESE CRAZY CREATIONS!
Opal says THAT'S EASY!
ARTISTS ALWAYS
SIGN ON THE BOTTOM.
Harvey says ON THE BOTTOM.
Gordon says THE BOTTOM OF THE
PAINTING, HARVEY!
AND THIS ART IS NO DIFFERENT.
IT'S SIGNED SPARKLETUSH!
Flick says COOL NAME.
BUT WHO IS SPARKLETUSH?
Gordon says EXACTLY!
IF ANYONE CAN GET TO THE
BOTTOM OF THIS STORY,
IT'S THE SHUTTERBUGS.
Flick says WE'LL GET THE SCOOP, AND
SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE STORY!
The glow worms in the office dance 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 the office, Flick says OKAY GUYS,
LET'S BREAK THIS STORY DOWN!
WHO?
Harvey says SPARKLETUSH!
WHAT?
Opal says THEIR CRAZY ART!
WHERE?
Flick says ALL OVER TOWN!
WHEN?
Harvey says THIS WEEK!
WHY?
Opal says WHY AND WHO?
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO FIND OUT.
HOW?
They all say BY INVESTIGATING!
Flick says THE LAST REPORTED ART
SIGHTING WAS AT MURKY BEACH.
THAT'S WHERE OUR
STORY NEEDS TO START.
C'MON!
The bugs fly over to the beach and they see a painting of Floyd, the red-headed fly. Flick takes a picture.
Flick says THESE ARE AMAZING!
BUT WHY IS THE ARTIST
HIDING THEIR IDENTITY?
Opal says RIGHT?
THIS ARTIST SEEMS
A LITTLE SKETCHY.
GET IT... SKETCHY.
ARTIST?
AM I TALKING TO MYSELF HERE?
Harvey says YOUR JOKES ARE A
LITTLE SKETCHY, OPAL.
KIND OF A MYSTERY.
They all say DETECTIVE DEBBIE!
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!
PEOPLE ARE GOING ALL
SWEATY-BANANAS ABOUT THIS
CRAZY ART ALL OVER TOWN.
Flick says ANY LEADS ON WHO
SPARKLETUSH MIGHT BE?
Opal says I'LL TELL YOU WHO
SPARKLETUSH IS!
AN ART GENIUS!
LOOK AT ALL THOSE COLOURS!
THEY SURE DO CHEER UP THE PLACE.
Harvey says YOU REALLY THINK SO?
YOU LIKE THIS?
Detective Debbie says YOU KNOW,
I KIND OF LIKE IT TOO.
BUT HEY,
I'M NO ART EXPERT!
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!
Opal says HOW DOES SHE DO THAT?
ART EXPERT?
Flick says SAY, MAYBE A REAL ART
EXPERT CAN HELP US OUT.
TIME TO PAY A VISIT
TO THE ART GALLERY!
Now the bugs walk around an art gallery and Harvey says WOW!
SUCH TALENT!
Opal says I DIDN'T KNOW YOU
WERE INTO ART, HARVEY?
Now a blue butterfly with a large brown moustache says WELCOME TO
MY ART GALLERY!
HOW MAY I HELP YOU?
Flick says WHAT CAN YOU TELL
US ABOUT ARTISTS?
Alberto says THAT'S EASY!
TRUE ARTISTS
LIVE TO PAINT!
AND THEY EACH HAVE
THEIR OWN UNIQUE STYLE.
THESE MAGNIFICENT SWIRLS
IN MARSHY NIGHT ARE
BY VINCENT VAN BEETLE.
Harvey says WHOA!
IF YOU SQUINT HARD
ENOUGH IT LOOKS 3D!
Alberto says THESE CRAZY SHAPES
IN THIS SELF-PORTRAIT
CAN ONLY BE BY PILSBUG PICASO.
Opal says I GUESS HE WASN'T
FEELING WELL THAT DAY.
Alberto says AND THIS STENCIL ART IS BY THE
ARTIST SIMPLY KNOWN AS BUGSY.
Flick takes a picture.
Flick says WOW! THEIR STYLES
ARE ALL SO DIFFERENT.
Alberto says AND RECOGNIZABLE
AS A FINGERPRINT.
YOU REALLY SHOULD
JOIN MY ART CLASS
IF YOU'RE
INTERESTED IN ART.
Flick says WE'RE NOT SO INTERESTED
IN BEING ARTISTS AS WE
ARE IN FINDING ONE ARTIST
IN PARTICULAR FOR OUR STORY.
SPARKLETUSH!
Alberto says SO BIG!
AND COLOURFUL!
I MUST PUT ON AN EXHIBITION.
WHO IS SPARKLETUSH?
Flick says WE WERE HOPING
YOU'D TELL US!
Alberto says ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THIS
IS A SUPREMELY TALENTED ARTIST!
Harvey says YOU REALLY THINK SO?
Alberto says SPARKLETUSH BELONGS
IN MY GALLERY.
Harvey knocks over a white canvas with paint and Flick says ONE THING'S CLEAR.
HARVEY DOESN'T!
They walk out and Harvey says GEE, ALBERTO WAS
PRETTY CRAZY, HUH GUYS?
SAYING ALL THAT STUFF
ABOUT SPARKLETUSH.
HEH, H-HEH!
Opal says ONE THING'S FOR SURE,
SPARKLETUSH MUST KNOW ALL OF
MURKY MARSH IS ON THE LOOKOUT,
BECAUSE THERE HASN'T
BEEN A NEW PAINTING SINCE
WE'VE BEEN ON THE CASE.
Flick says HMMMM, ALBERTO SAID
ARTISTS LIVE TO PAINT!
HOW ABOUT WE SET A TRAP FOR
THE ILLUSIVE ILLUSTRATOR.
Harvey says A TRAP?
WHAT WOULD
WE USE FOR BAIT?
Flick says HOW ABOUT SOME PAINT AND THE
BIGGEST CANVAS YOU EVER SAW!
THERE'S NO WAY A TRUE
ARTIST LIKE SPARKLETUSH
WILL BE ABLE TO RESIST IT.
They set up a large white canvas and Opal says I COULD NEVER BE AN ARTIST.
ARTISTS NEED TO BE SO BRAVE -
PUTTING THEMSELVES
OUT THERE LIKE THAT.
Flick says YEAH.
IMAGINE IF PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE
YOUR ARTWORK OR WORSE - LAUGHED!
Harvey eats and says THAT WOULD
BE TERRIBLE!
Flick says GEE, I THOUGHT SPARKLETUSH WOULD
JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO CREATE.
BUT I GUESS
THEY'RE A NO SHOW.
Harvey says CRUNCHY
SNACK?
Flick says NO WONDER SPARKLETUSH
IS A NO-SHOW.
ARTISTS NEED QUIET
TO THINK, HARVEY!
COME ON,
LET'S KEEP LOOKING.
Harvey says OOPS.
I DROPPED
MY SNACK BOX.
MUSTN'T LITTER!
Harvey flies back.
Flick says I WAS SURE
OUR TRAP WOULD WORK.
Opal says DON'T GIVE UP, FLICK.
SPARKLETUSH IS SURE
TO PAINT AGAIN.
Flick says YEAH, I GUESS.
WHAT'S TAKING
HARVEY SO LONG?
They walk back to the canvas and Flick says HARVEY?
Harvey says DOWN HERE!
They fly in front of the canvas and Sparkletush painted half of the canvas with a butterfly.
Flick says SPARKLETUSH!
Harvey says I WAS LOOKING FOR MY
SNACKS AND THERE IT WAS.
Opal says YOU MUST HAVE NEARLY CAUGHT
SPARKLETUSH IN THE ACT!
Flick says YEAH! YOU MUST
HAVE SEEN SOMEONE.
Harvey says UM... COME TO THINK OF IT
I DID!
UNFORTUNATELY, I
DIDN'T TAKE A PICTURE.
Opal says MAYBE YOU CAN DRAW A SKETCH OF
WHAT SPARKLETUSH LOOKED LIKE?
Harvey says WHO ME?
HA, HA!
I'M NO GOOD AT ART.
BESIDES, THERE'S
NOTHING TO DRAW ON.
Flick points to the other half of the canvas and says AHEM!
Harvey says OH, YEAH.
OKAY.
UM... LET'S SEE.
He paints a red-headed fly and Opal says HMMMM.
THAT LOOKS STRANGELY FAMILIAR.
Flick says YEAH,
IT DOES.
HMM, 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!
Flick and Opal use goggles and Flick says I RECOGNIZE SPARKLETUSH!
Floyd, the red-headed fly, walks by and says HEY, NOW THAT'S A
HANDSOME PAINTING!
Harvey says YOU RECOGNIZE
SPARKLETUSH?
HOW?
Flick says CHECK OUT THIS CURL!
NOW CHECK OUT THIS ONE.
Opal says THAT'S AMAZING.
HARVEY DRAWS JUST
LIKE SPARKLETUSH!...OHHHHHH!
Harvey whistles and Opal and Flick stare at him.
Harvey says OKAY!
I PAINTED MYSELF INTO A CORNER.
I AM SPARKLETUSH!
Floyd says NO, I AM SPARKLETUSH!
Harvey says NO, SERIOUSLY,
IT'S ME.
Floyd says HEH,
YEAH I KNOW.
I JUST GOT CAUGHT
UP IN THE MOMENT.
HOW DID YOU GUESS?
Flick says ALBERTO SAID EVERY ARTIST
HAS THEIR OWN STYLE.
Opal says LIKE A FINGERPRINT.
Flick says YOUR PAINTING
STYLE GAVE YOU AWAY.
BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY
IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG?
Harvey says I THOUGHT PEOPLE WOULD
THINK I WAS SILLY WANTING
TO BE AN ARTIST.
SO I MADE UP A NAME
TO HIDE BEHIND.
BESIDES, THESE AREN'T
LIKE THE FANCY PAINTINGS
ALBERTO SHOWED US.
I'M NOT A REAL ARTIST.
Opal says ALBERTO SAID REAL ARTIST'S
PAINT WHO THEY ARE.
Flick says AND THESE GREAT BIG, SILLY,
CRAZY PAINTINGS ARE ALL YOU!
Opal says AND EVERYONE NEEDS A LITTLE
EXTRA COLOR IN THEIR LIVES.
Harvey says WOW!
I GUESS I CAN SIGN ON
THE BOTTOM AS MYSELF NOW.
Harvey spray paints his butt and sticks it on the painting.
Flick says AN ORIGINAL HARVEY!
Flick takes 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 at the office, Gordon says GREAT STORY,
SHUTTERBUGS!
HARVEY MADE
FRONT PAGE NEWS,
AND ALBERTO'S GOING TO DISPLAY
HIS WORK IN THE GALLERY!
Flick says IT'S PRETTY COOL TO
KNOW A REAL ARTIST.
I WONDER WHAT SPARKLE...
I MEAN HARVEY'S
NEXT BIG ARTWORK WILL BE?
HARVEY?
Harvey stamps his butt on the wall and says ALREADY ON IT!
I CALL IT, CHEEK-ISM.
Gordon says HARVEY, MY WALL!
OH... OH THAT WILL
NEVER WASH OUT.
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 "Big Time Trippin."
[PHONE RINGING]
Flick looks at his watch.
Gordon says FLICK, YOU THERE?
I HAVE SOME MONSTROUS 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!
BUT UH,
WHERE'S GORDON?
Opal says GORDON?
Harvey says HELLO?
In a picture frame of Murky Marsh, Gordon says SHUTTERBUGS, THANK
GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE!
He jumps out and says THERE'S A HUGE BUG RUNNING
LOOSE JUST SOUTH OF THE MARSH!
IT STARTED LAST NIGHT.
LOOK!
Harvey says GOTTA GO!
Opal says WOW! THAT'S...
Harvey says MONSTROUS!
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE IT, HAVE YOU GORDON?
AH, GORDON?
Gordon says SHHH,
I'M HIDING WITH HARVEY.
Flick says DON'T WORRY GORDON,
THE SHUTTERBUGS WILL
MAKES SENSE OF THIS.
ALL OF US, HARVEY!
Harvey says AWE,
HORSEMUFFINS!
Flick says WE'LL GET THE SCOOP AND SHINE
SOME LIGHT ON THIS STORY!
The glow worms dance 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 office, Flick says ALRIGHT GUYS, LET'S START
WITH THE THINGS WE KNOW.
WHO?
Opal says SOME BIG FOOTED THINGY!
WHAT?
Harvey says IT'S LEAVING BIG TRACKS!
WHERE?
Flick says GORDON SAID SOUTH OF THE MARSH.
WHEN?
Opal says IT STARTED LAST NIGHT.
WHY?
Harvey says I DON'T THINK I WANT TO KNOW!
HOW?
Flick says THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION.
HOW DO WE FIND THIS THING?
Opal says THERE'S ONLY ONE
LOGICAL PLACE TO START.
Harvey says THE PIE STORE.
MMMM... PIE.
Flick says NO, HARVEY.
WE NEED TO GO FOLLOW THE
TRACKS IN SOUTH MARSH.
Harvey says IT'S NEVER
THE PIE STORE.
OOF!
They fly over to the marsh and check out the tracks.
Harvey says HEY, WHAT'S...
THAT?
They all say SKEETER?
Skeeter is a green mosquito with a gray and red shirt.
They all say WHOA!
Flick takes a picture.
Skeeter says OH, HEY GUYS!
Opal says YOU'RE THE MONSTER?
Skeeter says HA HA, I'M NOT A MONSTER.
I'M JUST LEARNING TO USE STILTS.
SEE?
He lifts up his long blue pants and shows a wooden stilt.
Harvey says AND, YOU'RE DOING THAT BECAUSE?
Skeeter says I'M TRYING TO PRACTICE
FOR THE BIG RACE,
BUT IT'S NOT WORKING OUT SO FAR.
He runs and trips.
Skeeter says WHOA!
AHH!
MY BEST FRIEND, SALLY STICKBUG,
STARTED GROWING REALLY FAST,
AND NOW SHE'S...
WELL, SHE'S WAY BIGGER THAN ME!
SHE'S EVEN
BIGGER THAN HARVEY!
Harvey says WAIT, WHAT?
Skeeter says AND SINCE WE'RE ABOUT TO COMPETE
IN MURKY MARSH NINJA HERO,
I DON'T
WANT TO LOOK ALL...
SHORT NEXT TO HER.
Flick says SKEETER, FRIENDS COME
IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.
EVEN IF YOU'RE SMALL NOW,
YOU'LL GROW BIGGER EVENTUALLY.
Skeeter says I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR "EVENTUALLY."
THE COMPETITION
IS TOMORROW.
I'VE GOT
TO BE TALL NOW.
WHOA, OOF!
Flick says I'M NOT SURE THIS
IS THE BEST IDEA SKEETER,
Opal says BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO
DO IT, WE CAN HELP YOU TRAIN.
IT SOUNDS LIKE FUN!
Harvey says WHAT'S FIRST IN THIS
NINJA HERO THINGY?
Skeeter says THE LILY PAD LEAP.
COME ON!
They stand by the pond with the lily pads.
Skeeter says THIS PART IS PRETTY EASY.
YOU JUST LEAP FROM ONE SIDE
OF THE POND TO THE OTHER,
AND THEN BACK AGAIN.
THE FASTEST ONE WINS.
Harvey says HA!
THAT SOUNDS EASY!
The lily pads start to spin and Skeeter says WELL, EXCEPT FOR THIS.
The bugs jump on the spinning pads and all fall in the water.
Harvey says WHOA -AAHH!
ARGH!
Opal says WHOA... WHO-O-A!
Now Skeeter tries to walk and says I USED TO BE SO GOOD AT THIS
WHEN I PRACTICED WITH SALLY.
BUT SHE JUST
HAD TO GO AND GROW.
NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT
WHERE MY LEGS START AND END.
Flick says YOU CAN'T BE SHORT ON PATIENCE
WHEN YOU'RE PRACTICING, SKEETER.
Skeeter says SHORT?
YEAH, IF I WASN'T SO SHORT,
I WOULDN'T BE HAVING
ALL THESE PROBLEMS!
YOU KNOW WHAT?
LET'S JUST SKIP THE
LILY PADS FOR NOW.
OOH! MAYBE TRY
THE BEAN STALK CLIMB INSTEAD?
Now they stand in front of a large bean stalk in the middle of the pond.
Skeeter says FIRST ONE
TO THE TOP WINS!
JUST BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU STEP
ON THE LEAVES, THEY BUCKLE.
WHOA! AH!
WHOA! AH... AH... AH!
They all jump up to the top. Skeeter falls over and Harvey catches him.
Opal says WOW!
Flick says YOU MADE SHORT WORK
OF THAT, HARVEY!
UH, SKEETER?
Later they walk over to four large green frogs.
Skeeter says SO UH, THIS IS THE FROG GULP.
YOU HAVE TO LEAP OVER ALL THE
FROGS TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE.
Opal says OOO!
WE'LL NEED TO THINK
ABOUT THIS ONE.
IF WE RUSH WE'LL...
Harvey runs and says I'M GOING!
GAH!
Harvey runs into a frog?s mouth. The frog closes his mouth and then spits Harvey out.
Harvey says EW!
Opal says HA HA HA!
Another frog wraps its tongue around Opal and Opal says LOOK AT...
WHOA!
It spits her out and she says WHOA!
Now Skeeter and Flick jump over top of them and Flick says THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM!
UGH!
A frog pulls Flick and Skeeter in with its tongue and Flick says OOF!
The frog spits the out.
Flick takes a picture.
Skeeter says UGH... THIS IS GREAT!
IF I DO THE RACE WITH THE
STILTS, I'LL GET SLIMED.
IF I DO THE RACE WITHOUT THEM,
I'LL LOOK LIKE A LITTLE RUNT.
WHY SALLY HAD TO GROW RIGHT NOW
IS A COMPLETE MYSTERY TO ME.
They all say DETECTIVE DEBBIE!
Detective Debbie crawls out of a frog and says SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG
TO GET HERE, SHUTTERBUGS.
I WAS LOOKING FOR MY WATCH.
GOTCHA! BLAH!
Harvey says WE'VE GOT A BIT OF
A GROWING PROBLEM.
GROWING WHAT?
Detective Debbie says VEGETABLES?
Harvey says NO. SKEETER!
Skeeter says WHY DID SALLY DECIDE TO
GROW TALL WITHOUT ME?
Detective Debbie says PEOPLE DON'T CHOOSE WHEN
THEY GROW, SKEETER MY MAN.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT
JUST HAPPENS OVER TIME.
USUALLY WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING.
YOUR BONES GET LONGER AND
YOUR MUSCLES GET LONGER,
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, BAMMO!
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU'RE
BIGGER THAN YOU WERE.
Skeeter says SO, SALLY DIDN'T
DO IT ON PURPOSE?
Detective Debbie says NU UH, JUST HAPPENS
WHEN IT HAPPENS.
HOPEFULLY SHE'S OKAY; SOMETIMES
GROWTH SPURTS CAN BE AWKWARD.
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!
Skeeter says IT'S NOT HER FAULT?
IT'S NOT HER FAULT!
COME ON!
Now Skeeter knocks on Sally the stick bug?s house and says SALLY!
Sally says SKEETER?
YOU'RE... TALL!
Skeeter says IT'S JUST STILTS.
BUT LISTEN-...
Sally says STILTS?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S
LIKE GROWING THIS FAST?
I'M TRIPPING ON MY FEET ALL THE
TIME, NONE OF MY CLOTHES FIT.
OW!
AND I KEEP WHACKING
MY HEAD ON EVERYTHING.
AND NOW YOU'RE MAKING FUN OF ME?
Harvey says HER TEMPER
GREW TOO.
Skeeter says I... I THOUGHT SALLY WOULD
LIKE BEING TALLER.
BUT SHE'S HAVING AS
MANY PROBLEMS AS I AM.
Flick says IT'S NOT EASY WHEN
THINGS CHANGE.
Skeeter says OH MY GOSH!
I HAVE
TO APOLOGIZE!
Opal says WE'LL HAVE TO
FIND HER FIRST.
BUT HOW, SHE BLENDS
IN WITH EVERYTHING.
Flick says WE'LL HAVE 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 selects the sight sense and they look for Sally.
Opal says LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE KNOCKED
THESE LEAVES DOWN.
Harvey says ONLY A GREAT BIG
RIDICULOUSLY TALL PERSON
COULD REACH THAT HIGH.
At the top of the bean stalk, Sally says I HEARD THAT!
STAY AWAY!
YOU'RE JUST GOING TO MAKE
FUN OF ME, LIKE SKEETER DID!
Skeeter says SALLY!
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
I'D NEVER MAKE FUN OF YOU.
YOU'RE MY FRIEND.
Sally says BUT, THE STILTS?
Skeeter says I JUST FELT BAD ABOUT
BEING SHORTER THAN YOU.
WEARING STILTS WAS THE ONLY
WAY I COULD THINK TO FIX IT.
Flick says MAYBE, INSTEAD OF SEEING
YOUR HEIGHTS AS A PROBLEM,
WHY NOT USE THEM
TO YOUR ADVANTAGE?
Sally says HUH?
Opal says FLICK'S RIGHT!
SALLY CAN
JUMP FAR AND HIGH,
AND SKEETER IS MORE
AGILE AND ACROBATIC.
TEAM UP IN A CLEVER WAY,
YOU CAN...
Harvey says BE AWESOME!
Skeeter says WHAT DO YOU THINK, SAL?
WANT TO TRY?
Now they work together to get through the lily pads, bean stalk, and frogs.
At the end of the race, Flick takes a picture.
Back by the bugs, Skeeter says WE MAKE A PRETTY
AWESOME TEAM.
Sally says NO MATTER WHAT SHAPE
OR SIZE WE ARE.
Flick takes 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!
NOT ONLY DID SKEETER AND SALLY
HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE,
BUT THEY LEARNED A LOT
ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER...
AND THEIR GROWING BODIES.
Harvey uses hand stilts and says HEY GUYS!
LOOK AT ME!
BEING TALL IS GREAT!
I JUST NEED TO... I...
He tries to reach for a sandwich and can?t.
Harvey says OH NO!
GUYS!
MAKE ME SHORT!
MAKE ME SHORT!
The show ends and the credits roll.

THEY SURE DO CHEER UP THE PLACE.
Harvey says YOU REALLY THINK SO?
YOU LIKE THIS?
Detective Debbie says YOU KNOW,
I KIND OF LIKE IT TOO.
BUT HEY,
I'M NO ART EXPERT!
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!
Opal says HOW DOES SHE DO THAT?
ART EXPERT?
Flick says SAY, MAYBE A REAL ART
EXPERT CAN HELP US OUT.
TIME TO PAY A VISIT
TO THE ART GALLERY!
Now the bugs walk around an art gallery and Harvey says WOW!
SUCH TALENT!
Opal says I DIDN'T KNOW YOU
WERE INTO ART, HARVEY?
Now a blue butterfly with a large brown moustache says WELCOME TO
MY ART GALLERY!
HOW MAY I HELP YOU?
Flick says WHAT CAN YOU TELL
US ABOUT ARTISTS?
Alberto says THAT'S EASY!
TRUE ARTISTS
LIVE TO PAINT!
AND THEY EACH HAVE
THEIR OWN UNIQUE STYLE.
THESE MAGNIFICENT SWIRLS
IN MARSHY NIGHT ARE
BY VINCENT VAN BEETLE.
Harvey says WHOA!
IF YOU SQUINT HARD
ENOUGH IT LOOKS 3D!
Alberto says THESE CRAZY SHAPES
IN THIS SELF-PORTRAIT
CAN ONLY BE BY PILSBUG PICASO.
Opal says I GUESS HE WASN'T
FEELING WELL THAT DAY.
Alberto says AND THIS STENCIL ART IS BY THE
ARTIST SIMPLY KNOWN AS BUGSY.
Flick takes a picture.
Flick says WOW! THEIR STYLES
ARE ALL SO DIFFERENT.
Alberto says AND RECOGNIZABLE
AS A FINGERPRINT.
YOU REALLY SHOULD
JOIN MY ART CLASS
IF YOU'RE
INTERESTED IN ART.
Flick says WE'RE NOT SO INTERESTED
IN BEING ARTISTS AS WE
ARE IN FINDING ONE ARTIST
IN PARTICULAR FOR OUR STORY.
SPARKLETUSH!
Alberto says SO BIG!
AND COLOURFUL!
I MUST PUT ON AN EXHIBITION.
WHO IS SPARKLETUSH?
Flick says WE WERE HOPING
YOU'D TELL US!
Alberto says ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THIS
IS A SUPREMELY TALENTED ARTIST!
Harvey says YOU REALLY THINK SO?
Alberto says SPARKLETUSH BELONGS
IN MY GALLERY.
Harvey knocks over a white canvas with paint and Flick says ONE THING'S CLEAR.
HARVEY DOESN'T!
They walk out and Harvey says GEE, ALBERTO WAS
PRETTY CRAZY, HUH GUYS?
SAYING ALL THAT STUFF
ABOUT SPARKLETUSH.
HEH, H-HEH!
Opal says ONE THING'S FOR SURE,
SPARKLETUSH MUST KNOW ALL OF
MURKY MARSH IS ON THE LOOKOUT,
BECAUSE THERE HASN'T
BEEN A NEW PAINTING SINCE
WE'VE BEEN ON THE CASE.
Flick says HMMMM, ALBERTO SAID
ARTISTS LIVE TO PAINT!
HOW ABOUT WE SET A TRAP FOR
THE ILLUSIVE ILLUSTRATOR.
Harvey says A TRAP?
WHAT WOULD
WE USE FOR BAIT?
Flick says HOW ABOUT SOME PAINT AND THE
BIGGEST CANVAS YOU EVER SAW!
THERE'S NO WAY A TRUE
ARTIST LIKE SPARKLETUSH
WILL BE ABLE TO RESIST IT.
They set up a large white canvas and Opal says I COULD NEVER BE AN ARTIST.
ARTISTS NEED TO BE SO BRAVE -
PUTTING THEMSELVES
OUT THERE LIKE THAT.
Flick says YEAH.
IMAGINE IF PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE
YOUR ARTWORK OR WORSE - LAUGHED!
Harvey eats and says THAT WOULD
BE TERRIBLE!
Flick says GEE, I THOUGHT SPARKLETUSH WOULD
JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO CREATE.
BUT I GUESS
THEY'RE A NO SHOW.
Harvey says CRUNCHY
SNACK?
Flick says NO WONDER SPARKLETUSH
IS A NO-SHOW.
ARTISTS NEED QUIET
TO THINK, HARVEY!
COME ON,
LET'S KEEP LOOKING.
Harvey says OOPS.
I DROPPED
MY SNACK BOX.
MUSTN'T LITTER!
Harvey flies back.
Flick says I WAS SURE
OUR TRAP WOULD WORK.
Opal says DON'T GIVE UP, FLICK.
SPARKLETUSH IS SURE
TO PAINT AGAIN.
Flick says YEAH, I GUESS.
WHAT'S TAKING
HARVEY SO LONG?
They walk back to the canvas and Flick says HARVEY?
Harvey says DOWN HERE!
They fly in front of the canvas and Sparkletush painted half of the canvas with a butterfly.
Flick says SPARKLETUSH!
Harvey says I WAS LOOKING FOR MY
SNACKS AND THERE IT WAS.
Opal says YOU MUST HAVE NEARLY CAUGHT
SPARKLETUSH IN THE ACT!
Flick says YEAH! YOU MUST
HAVE SEEN SOMEONE.
Harvey says UM... COME TO THINK OF IT
I DID!
UNFORTUNATELY, I
DIDN'T TAKE A PICTURE.
Opal says MAYBE YOU CAN DRAW A SKETCH OF
WHAT SPARKLETUSH LOOKED LIKE?
Harvey says WHO ME?
HA, HA!
I'M NO GOOD AT ART.
BESIDES, THERE'S
NOTHING TO DRAW ON.
Flick points to the other half of the canvas and says AHEM!
Harvey says OH, YEAH.
OKAY.
UM... LET'S SEE.
He paints a red-headed fly and Opal says HMMMM.
THAT LOOKS STRANGELY FAMILIAR.
Flick says YEAH,
IT DOES.
HMM, 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!
Flick and Opal use goggles and Flick says I RECOGNIZE SPARKLETUSH!
Floyd, the red-headed fly, walks by and says HEY, NOW THAT'S A
HANDSOME PAINTING!
Harvey says YOU RECOGNIZE
SPARKLETUSH?
HOW?
Flick says CHECK OUT THIS CURL!
NOW CHECK OUT THIS ONE.
Opal says THAT'S AMAZING.
HARVEY DRAWS JUST
LIKE SPARKLETUSH!...OHHHHHH!
Harvey whistles and Opal and Flick stare at him.
Harvey says OKAY!
I PAINTED MYSELF INTO A CORNER.
I AM SPARKLETUSH!
Floyd says NO, I AM SPARKLETUSH!
Harvey says NO, SERIOUSLY,
IT'S ME.
Floyd says HEH,
YEAH I KNOW.
I JUST GOT CAUGHT
UP IN THE MOMENT.
HOW DID YOU GUESS?
Flick says ALBERTO SAID EVERY ARTIST
HAS THEIR OWN STYLE.
Opal says LIKE A FINGERPRINT.
Flick says YOUR PAINTING
STYLE GAVE YOU AWAY.
BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY
IT WAS YOU ALL ALONG?
Harvey says I THOUGHT PEOPLE WOULD
THINK I WAS SILLY WANTING
TO BE AN ARTIST.
SO I MADE UP A NAME
TO HIDE BEHIND.
BESIDES, THESE AREN'T
LIKE THE FANCY PAINTINGS
ALBERTO SHOWED US.
I'M NOT A REAL ARTIST.
Opal says ALBERTO SAID REAL ARTIST'S
PAINT WHO THEY ARE.
Flick says AND THESE GREAT BIG, SILLY,
CRAZY PAINTINGS ARE ALL YOU!
Opal says AND EVERYONE NEEDS A LITTLE
EXTRA COLOR IN THEIR LIVES.
Harvey says WOW!
I GUESS I CAN SIGN ON
THE BOTTOM AS MYSELF NOW.
Harvey spray paints his butt and sticks it on the painting.
Flick says AN ORIGINAL HARVEY!
Flick takes 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 at the office, Gordon says GREAT STORY,
SHUTTERBUGS!
HARVEY MADE
FRONT PAGE NEWS,
AND ALBERTO'S GOING TO DISPLAY
HIS WORK IN THE GALLERY!
Flick says IT'S PRETTY COOL TO
KNOW A REAL ARTIST.
I WONDER WHAT SPARKLE...
I MEAN HARVEY'S
NEXT BIG ARTWORK WILL BE?
HARVEY?
Harvey stamps his butt on the wall and says ALREADY ON IT!
I CALL IT, CHEEK-ISM.
Gordon says HARVEY, MY WALL!
OH... OH THAT WILL
NEVER WASH OUT.
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 "Big Time Trippin."
[PHONE RINGING]
Flick looks at his watch.
Gordon says FLICK, YOU THERE?
I HAVE SOME MONSTROUS 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!
BUT UH,
WHERE'S GORDON?
Opal says GORDON?
Harvey says HELLO?
In a picture frame of Murky Marsh, Gordon says SHUTTERBUGS, THANK
GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE!
He jumps out and says THERE'S A HUGE BUG RUNNING
LOOSE JUST SOUTH OF THE MARSH!
IT STARTED LAST NIGHT.
LOOK!
Harvey says GOTTA GO!
Opal says WOW! THAT'S...
Harvey says MONSTROUS!
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE IT, HAVE YOU GORDON?
AH, GORDON?
Gordon says SHHH,
I'M HIDING WITH HARVEY.
Flick says DON'T WORRY GORDON,
THE SHUTTERBUGS WILL
MAKES SENSE OF THIS.
ALL OF US, HARVEY!
Harvey says AWE,
HORSEMUFFINS!
Flick says WE'LL GET THE SCOOP AND SHINE
SOME LIGHT ON THIS STORY!
The glow worms dance 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 office, Flick says ALRIGHT GUYS, LET'S START
WITH THE THINGS WE KNOW.
WHO?
Opal says SOME BIG FOOTED THINGY!
WHAT?
Harvey says IT'S LEAVING BIG TRACKS!
WHERE?
Flick says GORDON SAID SOUTH OF THE MARSH.
WHEN?
Opal says IT STARTED LAST NIGHT.
WHY?
Harvey says I DON'T THINK I WANT TO KNOW!
HOW?
Flick says THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION.
HOW DO WE FIND THIS THING?
Opal says THERE'S ONLY ONE
LOGICAL PLACE TO START.
Harvey says THE PIE STORE.
MMMM... PIE.
Flick says NO, HARVEY.
WE NEED TO GO FOLLOW THE
TRACKS IN SOUTH MARSH.
Harvey says IT'S NEVER
THE PIE STORE.
OOF!
They fly over to the marsh and check out the tracks.
Harvey says HEY, WHAT'S...
THAT?
They all say SKEETER?
Skeeter is a green mosquito with a gray and red shirt.
They all say WHOA!
Flick takes a picture.
Skeeter says OH, HEY GUYS!
Opal says YOU'RE THE MONSTER?
Skeeter says HA HA, I'M NOT A MONSTER.
I'M JUST LEARNING TO USE STILTS.
SEE?
He lifts up his long blue pants and shows a wooden stilt.
Harvey says AND, YOU'RE DOING THAT BECAUSE?
Skeeter says I'M TRYING TO PRACTICE
FOR THE BIG RACE,
BUT IT'S NOT WORKING OUT SO FAR.
He runs and trips.
Skeeter says WHOA!
AHH!
MY BEST FRIEND, SALLY STICKBUG,
STARTED GROWING REALLY FAST,
AND NOW SHE'S...
WELL, SHE'S WAY BIGGER THAN ME!
SHE'S EVEN
BIGGER THAN HARVEY!
Harvey says WAIT, WHAT?
Skeeter says AND SINCE WE'RE ABOUT TO COMPETE
IN MURKY MARSH NINJA HERO,
I DON'T
WANT TO LOOK ALL...
SHORT NEXT TO HER.
Flick says SKEETER, FRIENDS COME
IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.
EVEN IF YOU'RE SMALL NOW,
YOU'LL GROW BIGGER EVENTUALLY.
Skeeter says I DON'T HAVE TIME
FOR "EVENTUALLY."
THE COMPETITION
IS TOMORROW.
I'VE GOT
TO BE TALL NOW.
WHOA, OOF!
Flick says I'M NOT SURE THIS
IS THE BEST IDEA SKEETER,
Opal says BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO
DO IT, WE CAN HELP YOU TRAIN.
IT SOUNDS LIKE FUN!
Harvey says WHAT'S FIRST IN THIS
NINJA HERO THINGY?
Skeeter says THE LILY PAD LEAP.
COME ON!
They stand by the pond with the lily pads.
Skeeter says THIS PART IS PRETTY EASY.
YOU JUST LEAP FROM ONE SIDE
OF THE POND TO THE OTHER,
AND THEN BACK AGAIN.
THE FASTEST ONE WINS.
Harvey says HA!
THAT SOUNDS EASY!
The lily pads start to spin and Skeeter says WELL, EXCEPT FOR THIS.
The bugs jump on the spinning pads and all fall in the water.
Harvey says WHOA -AAHH!
ARGH!
Opal says WHOA... WHO-O-A!
Now Skeeter tries to walk and says I USED TO BE SO GOOD AT THIS
WHEN I PRACTICED WITH SALLY.
BUT SHE JUST
HAD TO GO AND GROW.
NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT
WHERE MY LEGS START AND END.
Flick says YOU CAN'T BE SHORT ON PATIENCE
WHEN YOU'RE PRACTICING, SKEETER.
Skeeter says SHORT?
YEAH, IF I WASN'T SO SHORT,
I WOULDN'T BE HAVING
ALL THESE PROBLEMS!
YOU KNOW WHAT?
LET'S JUST SKIP THE
LILY PADS FOR NOW.
OOH! MAYBE TRY
THE BEAN STALK CLIMB INSTEAD?
Now they stand in front of a large bean stalk in the middle of the pond.
Skeeter says FIRST ONE
TO THE TOP WINS!
JUST BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU STEP
ON THE LEAVES, THEY BUCKLE.
WHOA! AH!
WHOA! AH... AH... AH!
They all jump up to the top. Skeeter falls over and Harvey catches him.
Opal says WOW!
Flick says YOU MADE SHORT WORK
OF THAT, HARVEY!
UH, SKEETER?
Later they walk over to four large green frogs.
Skeeter says SO UH, THIS IS THE FROG GULP.
YOU HAVE TO LEAP OVER ALL THE
FROGS TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE.
Opal says OOO!
WE'LL NEED TO THINK
ABOUT THIS ONE.
IF WE RUSH WE'LL...
Harvey runs and says I'M GOING!
GAH!
Harvey runs into a frog?s mouth. The frog closes his mouth and then spits Harvey out.
Harvey says EW!
Opal says HA HA HA!
Another frog wraps its tongue around Opal and Opal says LOOK AT...
WHOA!
It spits her out and she says WHOA!
Now Skeeter and Flick jump over top of them and Flick says THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM!
UGH!
A frog pulls Flick and Skeeter in with its tongue and Flick says OOF!
The frog spits the out.
Flick takes a picture.
Skeeter says UGH... THIS IS GREAT!
IF I DO THE RACE WITH THE
STILTS, I'LL GET SLIMED.
IF I DO THE RACE WITHOUT THEM,
I'LL LOOK LIKE A LITTLE RUNT.
WHY SALLY HAD TO GROW RIGHT NOW
IS A COMPLETE MYSTERY TO ME.
They all say DETECTIVE DEBBIE!
Detective Debbie crawls out of a frog and says SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG
TO GET HERE, SHUTTERBUGS.
I WAS LOOKING FOR MY WATCH.
GOTCHA! BLAH!
Harvey says WE'VE GOT A BIT OF
A GROWING PROBLEM.
GROWING WHAT?
Detective Debbie says VEGETABLES?
Harvey says NO. SKEETER!
Skeeter says WHY DID SALLY DECIDE TO
GROW TALL WITHOUT ME?
Detective Debbie says PEOPLE DON'T CHOOSE WHEN
THEY GROW, SKEETER MY MAN.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT
JUST HAPPENS OVER TIME.
USUALLY WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING.
YOUR BONES GET LONGER AND
YOUR MUSCLES GET LONGER,
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, BAMMO!
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU'RE
BIGGER THAN YOU WERE.
Skeeter says SO, SALLY DIDN'T
DO IT ON PURPOSE?
Detective Debbie says NU UH, JUST HAPPENS
WHEN IT HAPPENS.
HOPEFULLY SHE'S OKAY; SOMETIMES
GROWTH SPURTS CAN BE AWKWARD.
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!
Skeeter says IT'S NOT HER FAULT?
IT'S NOT HER FAULT!
COME ON!
Now Skeeter knocks on Sally the stick bug?s house and says SALLY!
Sally says SKEETER?
YOU'RE... TALL!
Skeeter says IT'S JUST STILTS.
BUT LISTEN-...
Sally says STILTS?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT'S
LIKE GROWING THIS FAST?
I'M TRIPPING ON MY FEET ALL THE
TIME, NONE OF MY CLOTHES FIT.
OW!
AND I KEEP WHACKING
MY HEAD ON EVERYTHING.
AND NOW YOU'RE MAKING FUN OF ME?
Harvey says HER TEMPER
GREW TOO.
Skeeter says I... I THOUGHT SALLY WOULD
LIKE BEING TALLER.
BUT SHE'S HAVING AS
MANY PROBLEMS AS I AM.
Flick says IT'S NOT EASY WHEN
THINGS CHANGE.
Skeeter says OH MY GOSH!
I HAVE
TO APOLOGIZE!
Opal says WE'LL HAVE TO
FIND HER FIRST.
BUT HOW, SHE BLENDS
IN WITH EVERYTHING.
Flick says WE'LL HAVE 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 selects the sight sense and they look for Sally.
Opal says LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE KNOCKED
THESE LEAVES DOWN.
Harvey says ONLY A GREAT BIG
RIDICULOUSLY TALL PERSON
COULD REACH THAT HIGH.
At the top of the bean stalk, Sally says I HEARD THAT!
STAY AWAY!
YOU'RE JUST GOING TO MAKE
FUN OF ME, LIKE SKEETER DID!
Skeeter says SALLY!
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
I'D NEVER MAKE FUN OF YOU.
YOU'RE MY FRIEND.
Sally says BUT, THE STILTS?
Skeeter says I JUST FELT BAD ABOUT
BEING SHORTER THAN YOU.
WEARING STILTS WAS THE ONLY
WAY I COULD THINK TO FIX IT.
Flick says MAYBE, INSTEAD OF SEEING
YOUR HEIGHTS AS A PROBLEM,
WHY NOT USE THEM
TO YOUR ADVANTAGE?
Sally says HUH?
Opal says FLICK'S RIGHT!
SALLY CAN
JUMP FAR AND HIGH,
AND SKEETER IS MORE
AGILE AND ACROBATIC.
TEAM UP IN A CLEVER WAY,
YOU CAN...
Harvey says BE AWESOME!
Skeeter says WHAT DO YOU THINK, SAL?
WANT TO TRY?
Now they work together to get through the lily pads, bean stalk, and frogs.
At the end of the race, Flick takes a picture.
Back by the bugs, Skeeter says WE MAKE A PRETTY
AWESOME TEAM.
Sally says NO MATTER WHAT SHAPE
OR SIZE WE ARE.
Flick takes 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!
NOT ONLY DID SKEETER AND SALLY
HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE,
BUT THEY LEARNED A LOT
ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER...
AND THEIR GROWING BODIES.
Harvey uses hand stilts and says HEY GUYS!
LOOK AT ME!
BEING TALL IS GREAT!
I JUST NEED TO... I...
He tries to reach for a sandwich and can?t.
Harvey says OH NO!
GUYS!
MAKE ME SHORT!
MAKE ME SHORT!
The show ends and the credits roll.
