Transcript: Light 'em Up / The Fly
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 "Light ?Em Up."
[PHONE RINGING]
Flick looks at his watch and Gordon says FLICK, YOU THERE?
THERE'S A STORY IGNITING
INSIDE THE GLOW TOWER!
Gordon is an older caterpillar with a white goatee and glasses.
Flick says BE THERE IN A FLASH, BOSS!
Flick flies into the news centre.
Then, 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 HIDEY-HOO?
Gordon jumps out from a picture of bugs watching fireworks and says SHUTTERBUGS!
THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE.
SOMEONE HAS LOCKED THEMSELVES
INSIDE THE GLOW TOWER!
Harvey says HEY, ISN'T THAT
YOUR OLD SCHOOL?
Flick says YEAH, IT'S WHERE
I LEARNED TO GLOW.
Gordon says WHAT'S GOING ON?
GOOD QUESTION.
LOOK HERE!
On the screen, there is a tower and the lights on the top flickers.
Opal says WHOA, WHAT IS THAT?
Gordon says IT'S A MYSTERY I NEED THE
SHUTTERBUGS TO ILLUMINATE!
Flick says NO PROBLEM,
GORDON!
WE'LL GET THE SCOOP, AND
SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE STORY.
The three bugs in the office sit at their desks and say I THINK...
They start to sing WE CAN HELP.
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!
Back outside, Flick says OKAY GUYS!
LET'S START WITH
THE THINGS WE KNOW.
WHO?
Opal says NOT SURE, BUT THEY'VE LOCKED
THEMSELVES INSIDE THE SCHOOL.
WHAT?
Harvey says FLASHES OF LIGHT AND
CRACKY-WHACKY SOUNDS.
WHERE?
Flick says THE GLOW TOWER.
WHEN?
Opal says RIGHT NOW.
WHY?
Harvey says THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO
FIND OUT FOR OUR STORY.
NO IDEA HOW!
Flick says WE'LL NEED TO FIND A
WAY INSIDE THE TOWER!
C'MON!
They arrive to Glow Tower and Flick says HOLD UP.
LOOK!
THIS SIGN'S BEEN HERE SINCE
I FIRST STARTED SCHOOL.
There is a sign of a firefly, but it?s tail starts flickering.
The tail turns off and Flick says HUH?
Harvey says GOOD THING YOUR BUTT LEARNED
TO GLOW BETTER THAN THAT!
The look at the top of the tower, which flickers.
Flick tries to open the door and says LOCKED ALL RIGHT.
GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO
DO THIS THE HARD WAY.
They go up to the top, and Harvey says HARD WAY, HERE I COME!
YOU CAN
DO THIS HARVEY!
They get to the top and Harvey says PHEW!
GOOD THING I'M NOT A FIREFLY,
THAT CLIMB WOULD HAVE BURNT
OUT MY BUTT-BULB FOR SURE.
Opal says YOU KNOW YOU CAN FLY,
RIGHT?
Harvey says HUH!
Flick says AH, SPEAKING OF
BURST BULBS, LOOK!
A firefly wearing a blue T-shirt and a camera attached to the butt-bulb grunts and says COME ON,
Flick says FLINT?
Flint says COUSIN FLICK!
HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
I DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO SEE.
Flick says SEE WHAT?
F2 says MY TAIL!
IT WON'T GLOW WHEN I WANT IT TO.
I'M SO GOING TO
FAIL EXAMS TOMORROW.
Opal says BUT WE SAW FLASHES FROM OUTSIDE?
YEAH, THAT WASN'T REALLY ME.
F2 takes a picture of Harvey, who gets blinded, and falls out of the open window.
F2 says THE ONLY WAY I'LL
EVER PASS IS BY FINDING
A DIFFERENT WAY TO GLOW.
Flick says FLINT, I'M NOT SURE THAT'S
REALLY FIXING YOUR PROBLEM.
F2says YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I'M NOT A NATURAL
LIKE YOU, FLICK.
I'M TERRIBLE AT BEING A FIREFLY!
Opal says AND THE CAMERA FLASH WORKS?
Harvey comes back into the room, F2 sighs, and says NOT REALLY, NO.
THE FLASH ONLY LASTS A
SECOND AND IT KIND OF...
Harvey gets blinded again and yells BLINDING!
He falls on F2 and, still blinded, says OPAL?
OPAL? IS THAT YOU?
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?
Later, Harvey tapes a flashlight to F2?s tail and says I USE THIS AT BEDTIME
ALL THE TIME, TO UH...
FIND MY PILLOWS...
AND THE BATHROOM.
I GO A LOT.
HEH, HEH!
GIVE IT A SHOT.
The flashlights flickers off and F2 says AW NO!
WHAT'S WRONG?
Flick says FLASHLIGHTS RUN
ON BATTERIES.
THAT'S A NON-RENEWABLE
ENERGY SOURCE.
THEY RUN OUT OF
JUICE EVENTUALLY.
Opal says HOW OFTEN DO YOU USE THAT
FLASHLIGHT AT NIGHT, HARVEY?
Harvey says WHY?
WHAT DID YOU HEAR?
F2 says WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
Opal says WHAT IF, WE TRY SOMETHING
THAT DOESN'T NEED BATTERIES?
Now, Opal bends a glow-stick around F2?s tail and says IT'S A GLOW-STICK!
A CHEMICAL REACTION
INSIDE MAKES IT GLOW.
COOL, RIGHT?
F2 says WHOA!
IT WON'T TURN OFF AND ON!
I NEED SOMETHING THAT
WILL GLOW WHEN I WANT,
AS LONG AS I WANT.
Opal says BUT, ONLY RENEWABLE
ENERGY SOURCES LIKE THE
SUN KEEP ON GLOWING.
Harvey says PERFECT!
WE'LL TAPE THE
SUN TO HIS BUTT!
Flick giggles and says EXCEPT THAT THE SUN
DOESN'T TURN OFF HARVEY!
FLINT, THE BEST ENERGY SOURCE
FIREFLIES HAVE, IS OUR OWN.
IT RUNS ON FOOD,
WATER, AND CONFIDENCE.
F2 says THAT'S EXACTLY MY PROBLEM.
I'M TOO SHY TO HAVE CONFIDENCE.
He cries and flies away.
Opal says THIS IS ONE TOUGH
STORY TO CRACK.
SHYNESS CAN
BE A REAL MYSTERY.
A siren wails and Detective Debbie comes out of a nearby door. She is a pink dragon fly and wears a blue police uniform.
The shutterbugs yell DETECTIVE DEBBIE!
Detective Debbie yawns and says SORRY IT TOOK ME SO
LONG TO GET HERE, SHUTTERBUGS.
I FORGOT TO CHARGE MY ALARM!
Flick says DEBBIE, ANY IDEA HOW TO
RE-CHARGE SOMEONE'S CONFIDENCE?
Detective Debbie says YOU KNOW, FLICK MY MAN.
WHEN I FIRST BECAME
A POLICE OFFICER,
I FELT LIKE I DIDN'T BELONG.
I WAS REAL SHY DUE TO
MY BROKEN WING AND ALL.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?
Harvey says YOU ATE MARSHMALLOWS?
Detective Debbie says I PUT MY HAT ON EVERY DAY AND
LOOKED AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR.
I IMAGINED DOING ALL
THESE GREAT THINGS.
AMAZING THINGS!
I BELIEVED IN MYSELF,
AND I KEPT AT IT.
Opal says AND IT WORKED?
Detective Debbie says LOOK AT ME NOW!
NO ONE EVEN NOTICES MY WING.
THEY JUST SEE MURKY
MARSH'S TOP COP. AM I RIGHT?
[A MUFFLED CALL COMES IN
OVER DEBBIE'S WALKIE TALKIE]
She continues ROGER THAT.
SORRY, SHUTTERBUGS, GOTTA JET!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR STORY.
DEBS OUT!
She leaves through the same door. Flick opens it, grabs a blue hat, and says DEBBIE'S RIGHT.
MAYBE WE JUST NEED TO
HELP FLINT SEE HIMSELF
IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT!
Harvey says YEAH, BUT HOW?
Opal says WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHERE HE WENT.
Flick says WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE SENSE OF
THIS, BY USING OUR SENSES!
The glow worms sing OOOOH, 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!
Down by the firefly sign, they wear glowing goggles and look around.
Flick says HMM, SOMETHING'S DIFFERENT.
WAIT, THE TAIL!
IT'S GLOWING!
FLINT, YOUR TAIL WAS GLOWING!
F2 sits on the tail of the sign, sighs, and says YEAH, I CAN
ONLY MAKE IT GLOW
WHEN OTHER BUGS
AREN'T WATCHING.
Flick says WE'RE GOING TO HELP
YOU WITH YOUR GLOW.
I PROMISE.
F2 says HOW?
Opal says THERE'S LOTS OF
TRICKS YOU CAN TRY.
LIKE PRETENDING THE
AUDIENCE ISN'T THERE...
Harvey says OR TELLING YOURSELF
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK.
I DO THAT ALL THE TIME.
Flick says AND JUST STAY FOCUSED
ON THE POSITIVE.
IMAGINE YOURSELF DOING GREAT,
AND YOU'LL START TO SEE THE
BRIGHTER SIDE OF THINGS.
F2 says YOU REALLY THINK
I CAN DO IT?
Flick says I DO.
WE ALL DO.
HERE. LOOKING
THE PART MIGHT HELP.
THIS IS JUST LIKE THE HAT I
WORE WHEN I PASSED MY EXAMS.
Later, they stand in an outdoor classroom with a giant screen over it.
Flick says THE FIREFLY EXAMS ARE TRICKY.
EVERYONE HAS TO WORK TOGETHER,
MAKING A GIANT
PICTURE IN THE SKY.
JUST LIKE THE ONE
ON THE JUMBOTRON.
Opal says IT'S STARTING!
Floyd, the red and wearing a blue sweatshirt, appears on the jumbotron.
Fireflies illuminate the sky and the jumbotron imitating Floyd.
The eye flickers and F2 says IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY.
The judges press the buzzers and the grade comes up on the jumbotron. It reads "7."
Everyone cheers.
The jumbotron now shows a bug piloting a helicopter.
Harvey says OOO, THIS NEXT
ONE LOOKS TOUGH!
The fireflies imitate.
Flint grunts, pulls another firefly to him, and says COME ON..
The other firefly says NO,
F2 continues I NEED...
The other firefly says STOP IT!
F2 continues ...TO BORROW...
The other firefly says NO!
F2 continues ...YOUR LIGHT!
The judges press the buzzers and the grade comes up on the jumbotron. It reads "8."
Everyone cheers.
Flick says AWESOME!
OKAY,
NOW FOR THE GRAND FINALE.
The image of Mayor Carla, a mosquito in a purple jacket, comes up on the screen and the fireflies imitate.
Flick says OH NO!
CARLA IS
MISSING A TOOTH!
F2 says OKAY
GLOW CHEEKS.
IT'S JUST
YOU AND ME.
COME ON,
DO YOUR THING.
GLOW!
PLEASE GLOW!
I'M NEVER GOING TO
BE A REAL FIREFLY.
A REAL FIREFLY
STAYS UPBEAT AND POSITIVE.
LOOK AT FLICK.
HE'S ALWAYS SO
BRIGHT AND BOUNCY.
I'VE BEEN WASTING ALL THIS TIME,
WORRYING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I
DON'T HAVE, INSTEAD OF SEEING
ALL THE GREAT THINGS I DO HAVE -
LIKE MY AMAZING COUSIN.
HE'S THE BEST!
His tail turns on and everyone cheers.
The judges press the buzzers and the grade comes up on the jumbotron. It reads 108."
Everyone cheers loudly.
Back at the news office, Flick 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 CONGRATULATIONS ON ANOTHER
BRIGHT STORY, SHUTTERBUGS!
NOT ONLY DID WE FIND OUT WHAT
WAS HAPPENING IN THE GLOW TOWER,
YOU HELPED FLINT GET
TOP MARKS IN HIS EXAM.
Harvey has a golden rocket tied on his back and says YEAH! HE MADE ME WANT TO JOIN
THE FIREFLY SCHOOL TOO!
IS A ROCKET A RENEWABLE
SOURCE OF ENERGY?
The other yells NO! HARVEY!
I LOOK AMAZING!
Lights of different colours flicker from the top of the news centre as Harvey says OUCH! LOOK HOW PRETTY!
OUCH, HOT, HOT! OOOOUCH!
(music plays)
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 "The Fly."
[PHONE RINGING]
Flick looks at his watch.
Gordon says FLICK, YOU THERE?
SOMEONE'S GONE HOWLING
MAD IN THE MARSH!
Flick says BE THERE IN A FLASH,
BOSS!
Flick flies into the news centre.
Then, 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!
Gordon jumps out from a picture of fireflies parachuting, and says SHUTTERBUGS!
THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE!
SOMEONE'S BEEN HOWLING AND
SCREAMING ALL DAY AND NIGHT,
AND WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT OR WHO IT IS!
Harvey says WHAT KIND OF SCREAMING?
Gordon says THE EEEEOOOOEEEOOO KIND!
EEEEOOOOEEEOOO!
Flick says MAYBE YOU COULD SHOW
US A PICTURE INSTEAD?
Gordon turns on the TV, where a dark figure stand on top of a tower, and says RIGHT!
IT'S UH,
NOT MUCH TO GO ON.
Opal says THAT'S THE TOP OF
THE GLOW TOWER!
Flick says DON'T WORRY,
GORDON.
WE'LL GET THE SCOOP, AND SHINE
SOME LIGHT ON THE STORY!
The three bugs in the office sit at their desks and say I THINK...
They start to sing 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!
Now, they stand outside, and Flick says OKAY GANG!
LET'S BREAK THIS STORY DOWN.
WHO?
Opal says WE DON'T KNOW!
WHAT?
Harvey says A LOT OF
EEEEOOOEEEOOO'S.
WHEN?
Flick says ALL DAY
AND ALL NIGHT!
WHERE?
Opal says THE GLOW TOWER!
WHY?
Flick says WHO AND WHY ARE THE BIG
QUESTIONS FOR OUR STORY.
AND HOW ARE WE GOING
TO ANSWER THEM?
They all yell BY INVESTIGATING!
Flick says LET'S START WHERE THE
SCREAMER WAS LAST SEEN.
THE GLOW TOWER!
Now, they walk around the top of the tower.
A voice yells EEEEOOOOEEEOOOEEEOOOO!
Opal says UH! EWW,
IT'S HORRIBLE!
SOME SORT OF FOUL,
HIDEOUS BEAST!
Floyd, the red fly wearing a sweatshirt, says EEEEOOEEE.
EXCUSE ME.
Opal says OH, HAH!
IT'S FLOYD THE FLY.
Floyd says FLY?
I'M A CICADA!
Harvey says CICADA?
Floyd says LOUDEST INSECT ON THE PLANET!
NAME'S BARBARA,
BUT YOU CAN CALL ME BABS.
Flick says YOU FEELING OKAY FLOYD?
Floyd says BABS.
JUST DOING WHAT
CICADA BUGS DO BEST.
EEEEOOOEEEOOOEEEOOOOO!
Flick says UH, BABS?
YOU'RE A FLOYD,
AND A FLY.
NOT A CICADA.
Floyd says YOU SURE?
I WOKE UP SCREAMING AND FILTHY.
CICADAS ARE BORN IN THE DIRT.
WHY ELSE WOULD I BE SO GROSS?
Harvey says YOU'RE A GARBAGE FLY.
FLIES ARE GROSS - IN A NICE WAY!
Flick says I DON'T THINK YOU'RE
FEELING LIKE YOURSELF, PAL.
LET'S GET YOU DOWN OFF
THIS TOWER AND...
Floyd says WAIT.
They start falling slowly and Flick yells WHOA!
WHOA!
WHOA!
WHOA!
FLOYD, LET GO!
I CAN'T
CARRY US BOTH!
Floyd yells I HAVEN'T LEARNED
HOW TO FLY YET.
AND IT'S BABS!
Flick aims to land on the tower and yells FLOYD, LET GO!
Harvey extends his arms and says I GOT YOU!
OOOF!
They crash into Harvey. Opal says A FLY WHO
CAN'T FLY?
THIS STORY IS TURNING
INTO A REAL MYSTERY.
A siren wails and Detective Debbie comes out. She is a pink dragon fly and wears a blue police uniform.
The shutterbugs yell DETECTIVE DEBBIE!
Detective Debbie says SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG
TO GET HERE, SHUTTERBUGS!
I HAD TO SAVE SOME BUGS FROM
SMACKING INTO A WINDOW STORE.
WHO KNEW THAT BUGS
CAN'T SEE WINDOWS, MAN!
Flick says DEBBIE, THERE'S SOMETHING
REALLY WRONG WITH, UH...
Floyd says BABS.
Opal says HE'S FORGOTTEN
HOW TO FLY!
Detective Debbie says A FLY WHO CAN'T FLY?
DID YOU PULL A WING
MUSCLE OR SOMETHING?
[A MUFFLED CALL COMES IN
OVER DEBBIE'S WALKIE TALKIE]
She continues ROGER THAT.
SORRY, SHUTTERBUGS,
GOTTA JET!
GOOD LUCK
WITH YOUR STORY.
DEBS OUT!
Opal says PULL A WING MUSCLE.
MAYBE DEBBIE'S ONTO SOMETHING.
WHAT IF FLOYD
HURT HIMSELF?
Flick says WE NEED TO TRY SOME
FLY FLYING TESTS.
AND I KNOW JUST
THE PLACE TO START.
Then, they all go to a swimming pool.
Floyd points at the diving board and says WAY UP THERE?
Flick says DON'T WORRY,
IT'S A BALL PIT.
TOTALLY SAFE!
PLUS THERE'S NO BETTER
FLYERS THAN FLIES.
Opal says THEY CAN BEAT THEIR WINGS MORE
THAN 200 TIMES PER SECOND.
Flick says YOU'LL DO GREAT.
YOU JUST HAVE TO
BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT.
Harvey approaches Floyd, who says WHOA, WHOA!
CLIMB THE LADDER BUDDY.
YOU'RE TOO BIG AND STRONG FOR
THOSE LITTLE WINGS TO WORK.
Harvey says BUT, THEY USUALLY WORK.
Floyd says USUALLY?
THAT SOUNDS RISKY.
Floyd climbs the ladder and Harvey says PFFT. IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE
WINGS, IT'S HOW YOU FLAP THEM.
Floyd makes it to the top, and Opal says YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THIS!
CANNONBALL!
Floyd says I DON'T THINK THIS IS
SUCH A GOOD IDEA, GUYS.
Flick says NOT TO WORRY.
WORST CASE, HARVEY
WILL CATCH YOU.
Floyd says ARE YOU CRAZY?
THE GUY WITH
THE BABY WINGS!
Harvey jumps on the board and says HEY!
Floyd says WHOA!
STOP!
YOU'RE FREAKING ME OUT!
I'M DONE.
GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!
EEEEOOOOEEEOOOEEEOOO!
Later, they all stand by a tree, where Harvey is strapped to a branch thanks to Opal?s web.
Opal says STAND RIGHT HERE.
THIS WILL GET YOU
USED TO FLYING AGAIN,
WHILE KEEPING YOU
SAFELY STRAPPED IN!
Floyd says I DON'T KNOW, THE WEB
LOOKS WAY TOO FLIMSY.
Harvey says UH, FLIMSY?
Opal says IF IT CAN HOLD
BIG STRONG HARVEY,
IT WILL DEFINITELY
HOLD YOU!
Flick says JUST GIVE HIM
A GENTLE PULL,
AND YOU'LL SEE HOW
SAFE AND FUN IT IS.
Floyd says BUT WHAT IF
THE WEBS SNAP?
OR IT
BOUNCES TOO HIGH?
I DON'T WANT
TO HURT HIM!
Harvey says THEN STOP WITH
THE PULLING!
AHHHH!
Floyd lets go, Harvey bounces around the tree branch, and Floyd says LOOKS...
TERRIFYING!
Harvey bounces and says I---DON'T---LIKE---THIS!
The web snaps and Harvey flies in the air before falling to the ground.
Floyd says TOLD YOU!
Harvey says MAYBE YOU WERE
RIGHT ALL ALONG.
MAYBE FLYING JUST
ISN'T MY THING.
Flick says HOW CAN A FLY AND
HORSEFLY NOT LIKE FLYING?
WE NEED TO MAKE SENSE OF
THIS, BY USING OUR SENSES!
The glow worms sing OOOOH, 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!
Now, Flick looks at Floyd with his glowing goggles, and says HIS SHOES LOOK FILTHY, BUT OKAY.
HIS WINGS LOOK SLIMEY, BUT OKA.
AND HIS HEAD LOOKS,
He sighs when he sees a bumps on Floyd?s head and continues AWFUL!
Floyd says I HAVE FEELINGS,
YOU KNOW.
Flick says DIDN'T MEAN IT
THAT WAY, FLOYD.
I HAVE A THEORY
WE NEED TO TEST.
FOLLOW ME!
Then, they go back to the top of the tower. Floyd and Harvey whimper, avoiding being close to the edge.
Floyd says I CAN'T DO THIS, GUYS.
Opal says FLICK, WHAT ARE WE
DOING BACK HERE?
Flick says WAIT FOR IT!
Floyd says I CAN'T FLY.
I'LL NEVER FLY.
I'M OUT OF HERE!
He crashes repeatedly into a window and says BOY,
THE AIR IS THIN UP HERE.
Flick says REMEMBER WHAT DEBBIE SAID
ABOUT BUGS NOT SEEING WINDOWS?
WELL, THAT INCLUDES FLIES!
Opal gasps and says HE BUMPED HIS HEAD FLYING
INTO THE GLOW TOWER WINDOW!
Flick says MAYBE YOU'RE NOT AFRAID TO FLY,
MAYBE YOU JUST HIT YOUR HEAD
SO HARD ON THE WINDOW,
YOU FORGOT HOW!
Floyd says YEAH,
THAT MAKES TOTAL SENSE.
BUT WHAT ABOUT MY
NEW FEAR OF HEIGHTS?
I DON'T EVEN WANT
TO FLY ANY MORE.
Harvey says ME EITHER.
I ALWAYS KNEW IN MY HEART
I WAS MORE HORSE THAN FLY.
IT'S WAY TOO HIGH UP HERE, WAY
TO EASY TO GET DISTRACTED AND...
Boris, the bee with a white moustache, flies by and says EVENING, SHUTTERBUGS!
Harvey says OH, HEY BORIS.
He falls over the edge and the others yell HARVEY!
Flick flies over to help him and says HARVEY!
Opal says FLICK'S WINGS CAN'T
BEAT FAST ENOUGH TO SAVE HARVEY.
HE NEEDS A FLY!
AH, OH, THAT'S HIGH!
WHOA, IT'S MAKING ME
AH, AH, AH - DIZZY!
Opal says THERE'S NOTHING AS STRONG
AS A FLY'S FLYING MUSCLES.
YOU CAN DO THIS FLOYD!
Floyd says MY NAME ISN'T FLOYD,
IT'S...
BUG NUGGETS!
He trips over the edge and falls past Flick and Harvey, who say THAT'S NOT GOOD.
Floyd yells AHHH!
Flick says CAN'T MAKE IT.
TOO HEAVY!
Harvey says I'M BIG BONED!
Flick says WINGS SO TIRED.
I CANT FLY!
AHHH!
They fall but Floyd catches them.
Harvey says FLOYD!
YOU'RE FLYING!
Floyd says NOT FOR LONG!
Floyd drops Flick, who yells AHHH!
Floyd gasps and says YOU GOT TO FLY WITH ME BUDDY.
FLICK NEEDS US!
Opal says HARVEY, YOU'RE
NOT JUST A HORSE...
Harvey says I'M A HORSE FLY!
They rescue Flick and Opal says I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!
Back in the tower, Harvey and Floyd high-five, but Floyd misses and hits a wall.
Floyd says OUCH...
HEY SHUTTERBUGS!
WHAT ARE YOU
GUYS DOING UP HERE?
Flick says FLOYD?
Floyd says WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE?
YOU FEELING OKAY?
YOU'RE ACTING A LITTLE OFF.
Back at the news office, Flick 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!
YOU UNCOVERED OUR MYSTERIOUS
SCREAMER, AND HELPED FLOYD,
AND HARVEY, FLY AGAIN!
Opal says BARELY!
JUST GOES TO SHOW, WHEN YOU
ONLY FOCUS ON THE NEGATIVE,
YOU CAN BRING OTHERS
DOWN WITH YOU.
Flick says BUT IF YOU FALL DOWN OFF THAT
HORSE, YOU HAVE TO HOP BACK ON.
RIGHT HARVEY?
Harvey gives Floyd a piggy-back ride and says YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
BABS AND I ARE GOING
DOUBLE DECKER FLYING.
Flick says OH NO, FLOYD FORGOT
HIS NAME AGAIN?
Floyd says NO, I REMEMBER.
BABS JUST HAS A NICE RING TO IT.
HI-HO, HARVEY!
They laugh and fly out the window.
The show ends and the credits roll.

[PHONE RINGING]
Flick looks at his watch and Gordon says FLICK, YOU THERE?
THERE'S A STORY IGNITING
INSIDE THE GLOW TOWER!
Gordon is an older caterpillar with a white goatee and glasses.
Flick says BE THERE IN A FLASH, BOSS!
Flick flies into the news centre.
Then, 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 HIDEY-HOO?
Gordon jumps out from a picture of bugs watching fireworks and says SHUTTERBUGS!
THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE.
SOMEONE HAS LOCKED THEMSELVES
INSIDE THE GLOW TOWER!
Harvey says HEY, ISN'T THAT
YOUR OLD SCHOOL?
Flick says YEAH, IT'S WHERE
I LEARNED TO GLOW.
Gordon says WHAT'S GOING ON?
GOOD QUESTION.
LOOK HERE!
On the screen, there is a tower and the lights on the top flickers.
Opal says WHOA, WHAT IS THAT?
Gordon says IT'S A MYSTERY I NEED THE
SHUTTERBUGS TO ILLUMINATE!
Flick says NO PROBLEM,
GORDON!
WE'LL GET THE SCOOP, AND
SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE STORY.
The three bugs in the office sit at their desks and say I THINK...
They start to sing WE CAN HELP.
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!
Back outside, Flick says OKAY GUYS!
LET'S START WITH
THE THINGS WE KNOW.
WHO?
Opal says NOT SURE, BUT THEY'VE LOCKED
THEMSELVES INSIDE THE SCHOOL.
WHAT?
Harvey says FLASHES OF LIGHT AND
CRACKY-WHACKY SOUNDS.
WHERE?
Flick says THE GLOW TOWER.
WHEN?
Opal says RIGHT NOW.
WHY?
Harvey says THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO
FIND OUT FOR OUR STORY.
NO IDEA HOW!
Flick says WE'LL NEED TO FIND A
WAY INSIDE THE TOWER!
C'MON!
They arrive to Glow Tower and Flick says HOLD UP.
LOOK!
THIS SIGN'S BEEN HERE SINCE
I FIRST STARTED SCHOOL.
There is a sign of a firefly, but it?s tail starts flickering.
The tail turns off and Flick says HUH?
Harvey says GOOD THING YOUR BUTT LEARNED
TO GLOW BETTER THAN THAT!
The look at the top of the tower, which flickers.
Flick tries to open the door and says LOCKED ALL RIGHT.
GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO
DO THIS THE HARD WAY.
They go up to the top, and Harvey says HARD WAY, HERE I COME!
YOU CAN
DO THIS HARVEY!
They get to the top and Harvey says PHEW!
GOOD THING I'M NOT A FIREFLY,
THAT CLIMB WOULD HAVE BURNT
OUT MY BUTT-BULB FOR SURE.
Opal says YOU KNOW YOU CAN FLY,
RIGHT?
Harvey says HUH!
Flick says AH, SPEAKING OF
BURST BULBS, LOOK!
A firefly wearing a blue T-shirt and a camera attached to the butt-bulb grunts and says COME ON,
Flick says FLINT?
Flint says COUSIN FLICK!
HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
I DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO SEE.
Flick says SEE WHAT?
F2 says MY TAIL!
IT WON'T GLOW WHEN I WANT IT TO.
I'M SO GOING TO
FAIL EXAMS TOMORROW.
Opal says BUT WE SAW FLASHES FROM OUTSIDE?
YEAH, THAT WASN'T REALLY ME.
F2 takes a picture of Harvey, who gets blinded, and falls out of the open window.
F2 says THE ONLY WAY I'LL
EVER PASS IS BY FINDING
A DIFFERENT WAY TO GLOW.
Flick says FLINT, I'M NOT SURE THAT'S
REALLY FIXING YOUR PROBLEM.
F2says YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I'M NOT A NATURAL
LIKE YOU, FLICK.
I'M TERRIBLE AT BEING A FIREFLY!
Opal says AND THE CAMERA FLASH WORKS?
Harvey comes back into the room, F2 sighs, and says NOT REALLY, NO.
THE FLASH ONLY LASTS A
SECOND AND IT KIND OF...
Harvey gets blinded again and yells BLINDING!
He falls on F2 and, still blinded, says OPAL?
OPAL? IS THAT YOU?
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?
Later, Harvey tapes a flashlight to F2?s tail and says I USE THIS AT BEDTIME
ALL THE TIME, TO UH...
FIND MY PILLOWS...
AND THE BATHROOM.
I GO A LOT.
HEH, HEH!
GIVE IT A SHOT.
The flashlights flickers off and F2 says AW NO!
WHAT'S WRONG?
Flick says FLASHLIGHTS RUN
ON BATTERIES.
THAT'S A NON-RENEWABLE
ENERGY SOURCE.
THEY RUN OUT OF
JUICE EVENTUALLY.
Opal says HOW OFTEN DO YOU USE THAT
FLASHLIGHT AT NIGHT, HARVEY?
Harvey says WHY?
WHAT DID YOU HEAR?
F2 says WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
Opal says WHAT IF, WE TRY SOMETHING
THAT DOESN'T NEED BATTERIES?
Now, Opal bends a glow-stick around F2?s tail and says IT'S A GLOW-STICK!
A CHEMICAL REACTION
INSIDE MAKES IT GLOW.
COOL, RIGHT?
F2 says WHOA!
IT WON'T TURN OFF AND ON!
I NEED SOMETHING THAT
WILL GLOW WHEN I WANT,
AS LONG AS I WANT.
Opal says BUT, ONLY RENEWABLE
ENERGY SOURCES LIKE THE
SUN KEEP ON GLOWING.
Harvey says PERFECT!
WE'LL TAPE THE
SUN TO HIS BUTT!
Flick giggles and says EXCEPT THAT THE SUN
DOESN'T TURN OFF HARVEY!
FLINT, THE BEST ENERGY SOURCE
FIREFLIES HAVE, IS OUR OWN.
IT RUNS ON FOOD,
WATER, AND CONFIDENCE.
F2 says THAT'S EXACTLY MY PROBLEM.
I'M TOO SHY TO HAVE CONFIDENCE.
He cries and flies away.
Opal says THIS IS ONE TOUGH
STORY TO CRACK.
SHYNESS CAN
BE A REAL MYSTERY.
A siren wails and Detective Debbie comes out of a nearby door. She is a pink dragon fly and wears a blue police uniform.
The shutterbugs yell DETECTIVE DEBBIE!
Detective Debbie yawns and says SORRY IT TOOK ME SO
LONG TO GET HERE, SHUTTERBUGS.
I FORGOT TO CHARGE MY ALARM!
Flick says DEBBIE, ANY IDEA HOW TO
RE-CHARGE SOMEONE'S CONFIDENCE?
Detective Debbie says YOU KNOW, FLICK MY MAN.
WHEN I FIRST BECAME
A POLICE OFFICER,
I FELT LIKE I DIDN'T BELONG.
I WAS REAL SHY DUE TO
MY BROKEN WING AND ALL.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?
Harvey says YOU ATE MARSHMALLOWS?
Detective Debbie says I PUT MY HAT ON EVERY DAY AND
LOOKED AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR.
I IMAGINED DOING ALL
THESE GREAT THINGS.
AMAZING THINGS!
I BELIEVED IN MYSELF,
AND I KEPT AT IT.
Opal says AND IT WORKED?
Detective Debbie says LOOK AT ME NOW!
NO ONE EVEN NOTICES MY WING.
THEY JUST SEE MURKY
MARSH'S TOP COP. AM I RIGHT?
[A MUFFLED CALL COMES IN
OVER DEBBIE'S WALKIE TALKIE]
She continues ROGER THAT.
SORRY, SHUTTERBUGS, GOTTA JET!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR STORY.
DEBS OUT!
She leaves through the same door. Flick opens it, grabs a blue hat, and says DEBBIE'S RIGHT.
MAYBE WE JUST NEED TO
HELP FLINT SEE HIMSELF
IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT!
Harvey says YEAH, BUT HOW?
Opal says WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHERE HE WENT.
Flick says WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE SENSE OF
THIS, BY USING OUR SENSES!
The glow worms sing OOOOH, 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!
Down by the firefly sign, they wear glowing goggles and look around.
Flick says HMM, SOMETHING'S DIFFERENT.
WAIT, THE TAIL!
IT'S GLOWING!
FLINT, YOUR TAIL WAS GLOWING!
F2 sits on the tail of the sign, sighs, and says YEAH, I CAN
ONLY MAKE IT GLOW
WHEN OTHER BUGS
AREN'T WATCHING.
Flick says WE'RE GOING TO HELP
YOU WITH YOUR GLOW.
I PROMISE.
F2 says HOW?
Opal says THERE'S LOTS OF
TRICKS YOU CAN TRY.
LIKE PRETENDING THE
AUDIENCE ISN'T THERE...
Harvey says OR TELLING YOURSELF
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK.
I DO THAT ALL THE TIME.
Flick says AND JUST STAY FOCUSED
ON THE POSITIVE.
IMAGINE YOURSELF DOING GREAT,
AND YOU'LL START TO SEE THE
BRIGHTER SIDE OF THINGS.
F2 says YOU REALLY THINK
I CAN DO IT?
Flick says I DO.
WE ALL DO.
HERE. LOOKING
THE PART MIGHT HELP.
THIS IS JUST LIKE THE HAT I
WORE WHEN I PASSED MY EXAMS.
Later, they stand in an outdoor classroom with a giant screen over it.
Flick says THE FIREFLY EXAMS ARE TRICKY.
EVERYONE HAS TO WORK TOGETHER,
MAKING A GIANT
PICTURE IN THE SKY.
JUST LIKE THE ONE
ON THE JUMBOTRON.
Opal says IT'S STARTING!
Floyd, the red and wearing a blue sweatshirt, appears on the jumbotron.
Fireflies illuminate the sky and the jumbotron imitating Floyd.
The eye flickers and F2 says IT'S OKAY, IT'S OKAY.
The judges press the buzzers and the grade comes up on the jumbotron. It reads "7."
Everyone cheers.
The jumbotron now shows a bug piloting a helicopter.
Harvey says OOO, THIS NEXT
ONE LOOKS TOUGH!
The fireflies imitate.
Flint grunts, pulls another firefly to him, and says COME ON..
The other firefly says NO,
F2 continues I NEED...
The other firefly says STOP IT!
F2 continues ...TO BORROW...
The other firefly says NO!
F2 continues ...YOUR LIGHT!
The judges press the buzzers and the grade comes up on the jumbotron. It reads "8."
Everyone cheers.
Flick says AWESOME!
OKAY,
NOW FOR THE GRAND FINALE.
The image of Mayor Carla, a mosquito in a purple jacket, comes up on the screen and the fireflies imitate.
Flick says OH NO!
CARLA IS
MISSING A TOOTH!
F2 says OKAY
GLOW CHEEKS.
IT'S JUST
YOU AND ME.
COME ON,
DO YOUR THING.
GLOW!
PLEASE GLOW!
I'M NEVER GOING TO
BE A REAL FIREFLY.
A REAL FIREFLY
STAYS UPBEAT AND POSITIVE.
LOOK AT FLICK.
HE'S ALWAYS SO
BRIGHT AND BOUNCY.
I'VE BEEN WASTING ALL THIS TIME,
WORRYING ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I
DON'T HAVE, INSTEAD OF SEEING
ALL THE GREAT THINGS I DO HAVE -
LIKE MY AMAZING COUSIN.
HE'S THE BEST!
His tail turns on and everyone cheers.
The judges press the buzzers and the grade comes up on the jumbotron. It reads 108."
Everyone cheers loudly.
Back at the news office, Flick 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 CONGRATULATIONS ON ANOTHER
BRIGHT STORY, SHUTTERBUGS!
NOT ONLY DID WE FIND OUT WHAT
WAS HAPPENING IN THE GLOW TOWER,
YOU HELPED FLINT GET
TOP MARKS IN HIS EXAM.
Harvey has a golden rocket tied on his back and says YEAH! HE MADE ME WANT TO JOIN
THE FIREFLY SCHOOL TOO!
IS A ROCKET A RENEWABLE
SOURCE OF ENERGY?
The other yells NO! HARVEY!
I LOOK AMAZING!
Lights of different colours flicker from the top of the news centre as Harvey says OUCH! LOOK HOW PRETTY!
OUCH, HOT, HOT! OOOOUCH!
(music plays)
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 "The Fly."
[PHONE RINGING]
Flick looks at his watch.
Gordon says FLICK, YOU THERE?
SOMEONE'S GONE HOWLING
MAD IN THE MARSH!
Flick says BE THERE IN A FLASH,
BOSS!
Flick flies into the news centre.
Then, 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!
Gordon jumps out from a picture of fireflies parachuting, and says SHUTTERBUGS!
THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE!
SOMEONE'S BEEN HOWLING AND
SCREAMING ALL DAY AND NIGHT,
AND WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT OR WHO IT IS!
Harvey says WHAT KIND OF SCREAMING?
Gordon says THE EEEEOOOOEEEOOO KIND!
EEEEOOOOEEEOOO!
Flick says MAYBE YOU COULD SHOW
US A PICTURE INSTEAD?
Gordon turns on the TV, where a dark figure stand on top of a tower, and says RIGHT!
IT'S UH,
NOT MUCH TO GO ON.
Opal says THAT'S THE TOP OF
THE GLOW TOWER!
Flick says DON'T WORRY,
GORDON.
WE'LL GET THE SCOOP, AND SHINE
SOME LIGHT ON THE STORY!
The three bugs in the office sit at their desks and say I THINK...
They start to sing 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!
Now, they stand outside, and Flick says OKAY GANG!
LET'S BREAK THIS STORY DOWN.
WHO?
Opal says WE DON'T KNOW!
WHAT?
Harvey says A LOT OF
EEEEOOOEEEOOO'S.
WHEN?
Flick says ALL DAY
AND ALL NIGHT!
WHERE?
Opal says THE GLOW TOWER!
WHY?
Flick says WHO AND WHY ARE THE BIG
QUESTIONS FOR OUR STORY.
AND HOW ARE WE GOING
TO ANSWER THEM?
They all yell BY INVESTIGATING!
Flick says LET'S START WHERE THE
SCREAMER WAS LAST SEEN.
THE GLOW TOWER!
Now, they walk around the top of the tower.
A voice yells EEEEOOOOEEEOOOEEEOOOO!
Opal says UH! EWW,
IT'S HORRIBLE!
SOME SORT OF FOUL,
HIDEOUS BEAST!
Floyd, the red fly wearing a sweatshirt, says EEEEOOEEE.
EXCUSE ME.
Opal says OH, HAH!
IT'S FLOYD THE FLY.
Floyd says FLY?
I'M A CICADA!
Harvey says CICADA?
Floyd says LOUDEST INSECT ON THE PLANET!
NAME'S BARBARA,
BUT YOU CAN CALL ME BABS.
Flick says YOU FEELING OKAY FLOYD?
Floyd says BABS.
JUST DOING WHAT
CICADA BUGS DO BEST.
EEEEOOOEEEOOOEEEOOOOO!
Flick says UH, BABS?
YOU'RE A FLOYD,
AND A FLY.
NOT A CICADA.
Floyd says YOU SURE?
I WOKE UP SCREAMING AND FILTHY.
CICADAS ARE BORN IN THE DIRT.
WHY ELSE WOULD I BE SO GROSS?
Harvey says YOU'RE A GARBAGE FLY.
FLIES ARE GROSS - IN A NICE WAY!
Flick says I DON'T THINK YOU'RE
FEELING LIKE YOURSELF, PAL.
LET'S GET YOU DOWN OFF
THIS TOWER AND...
Floyd says WAIT.
They start falling slowly and Flick yells WHOA!
WHOA!
WHOA!
WHOA!
FLOYD, LET GO!
I CAN'T
CARRY US BOTH!
Floyd yells I HAVEN'T LEARNED
HOW TO FLY YET.
AND IT'S BABS!
Flick aims to land on the tower and yells FLOYD, LET GO!
Harvey extends his arms and says I GOT YOU!
OOOF!
They crash into Harvey. Opal says A FLY WHO
CAN'T FLY?
THIS STORY IS TURNING
INTO A REAL MYSTERY.
A siren wails and Detective Debbie comes out. She is a pink dragon fly and wears a blue police uniform.
The shutterbugs yell DETECTIVE DEBBIE!
Detective Debbie says SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG
TO GET HERE, SHUTTERBUGS!
I HAD TO SAVE SOME BUGS FROM
SMACKING INTO A WINDOW STORE.
WHO KNEW THAT BUGS
CAN'T SEE WINDOWS, MAN!
Flick says DEBBIE, THERE'S SOMETHING
REALLY WRONG WITH, UH...
Floyd says BABS.
Opal says HE'S FORGOTTEN
HOW TO FLY!
Detective Debbie says A FLY WHO CAN'T FLY?
DID YOU PULL A WING
MUSCLE OR SOMETHING?
[A MUFFLED CALL COMES IN
OVER DEBBIE'S WALKIE TALKIE]
She continues ROGER THAT.
SORRY, SHUTTERBUGS,
GOTTA JET!
GOOD LUCK
WITH YOUR STORY.
DEBS OUT!
Opal says PULL A WING MUSCLE.
MAYBE DEBBIE'S ONTO SOMETHING.
WHAT IF FLOYD
HURT HIMSELF?
Flick says WE NEED TO TRY SOME
FLY FLYING TESTS.
AND I KNOW JUST
THE PLACE TO START.
Then, they all go to a swimming pool.
Floyd points at the diving board and says WAY UP THERE?
Flick says DON'T WORRY,
IT'S A BALL PIT.
TOTALLY SAFE!
PLUS THERE'S NO BETTER
FLYERS THAN FLIES.
Opal says THEY CAN BEAT THEIR WINGS MORE
THAN 200 TIMES PER SECOND.
Flick says YOU'LL DO GREAT.
YOU JUST HAVE TO
BELIEVE YOU CAN DO IT.
Harvey approaches Floyd, who says WHOA, WHOA!
CLIMB THE LADDER BUDDY.
YOU'RE TOO BIG AND STRONG FOR
THOSE LITTLE WINGS TO WORK.
Harvey says BUT, THEY USUALLY WORK.
Floyd says USUALLY?
THAT SOUNDS RISKY.
Floyd climbs the ladder and Harvey says PFFT. IT'S NOT THE SIZE OF THE
WINGS, IT'S HOW YOU FLAP THEM.
Floyd makes it to the top, and Opal says YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE THIS!
CANNONBALL!
Floyd says I DON'T THINK THIS IS
SUCH A GOOD IDEA, GUYS.
Flick says NOT TO WORRY.
WORST CASE, HARVEY
WILL CATCH YOU.
Floyd says ARE YOU CRAZY?
THE GUY WITH
THE BABY WINGS!
Harvey jumps on the board and says HEY!
Floyd says WHOA!
STOP!
YOU'RE FREAKING ME OUT!
I'M DONE.
GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!
EEEEOOOOEEEOOOEEEOOO!
Later, they all stand by a tree, where Harvey is strapped to a branch thanks to Opal?s web.
Opal says STAND RIGHT HERE.
THIS WILL GET YOU
USED TO FLYING AGAIN,
WHILE KEEPING YOU
SAFELY STRAPPED IN!
Floyd says I DON'T KNOW, THE WEB
LOOKS WAY TOO FLIMSY.
Harvey says UH, FLIMSY?
Opal says IF IT CAN HOLD
BIG STRONG HARVEY,
IT WILL DEFINITELY
HOLD YOU!
Flick says JUST GIVE HIM
A GENTLE PULL,
AND YOU'LL SEE HOW
SAFE AND FUN IT IS.
Floyd says BUT WHAT IF
THE WEBS SNAP?
OR IT
BOUNCES TOO HIGH?
I DON'T WANT
TO HURT HIM!
Harvey says THEN STOP WITH
THE PULLING!
AHHHH!
Floyd lets go, Harvey bounces around the tree branch, and Floyd says LOOKS...
TERRIFYING!
Harvey bounces and says I---DON'T---LIKE---THIS!
The web snaps and Harvey flies in the air before falling to the ground.
Floyd says TOLD YOU!
Harvey says MAYBE YOU WERE
RIGHT ALL ALONG.
MAYBE FLYING JUST
ISN'T MY THING.
Flick says HOW CAN A FLY AND
HORSEFLY NOT LIKE FLYING?
WE NEED TO MAKE SENSE OF
THIS, BY USING OUR SENSES!
The glow worms sing OOOOH, 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!
Now, Flick looks at Floyd with his glowing goggles, and says HIS SHOES LOOK FILTHY, BUT OKAY.
HIS WINGS LOOK SLIMEY, BUT OKA.
AND HIS HEAD LOOKS,
He sighs when he sees a bumps on Floyd?s head and continues AWFUL!
Floyd says I HAVE FEELINGS,
YOU KNOW.
Flick says DIDN'T MEAN IT
THAT WAY, FLOYD.
I HAVE A THEORY
WE NEED TO TEST.
FOLLOW ME!
Then, they go back to the top of the tower. Floyd and Harvey whimper, avoiding being close to the edge.
Floyd says I CAN'T DO THIS, GUYS.
Opal says FLICK, WHAT ARE WE
DOING BACK HERE?
Flick says WAIT FOR IT!
Floyd says I CAN'T FLY.
I'LL NEVER FLY.
I'M OUT OF HERE!
He crashes repeatedly into a window and says BOY,
THE AIR IS THIN UP HERE.
Flick says REMEMBER WHAT DEBBIE SAID
ABOUT BUGS NOT SEEING WINDOWS?
WELL, THAT INCLUDES FLIES!
Opal gasps and says HE BUMPED HIS HEAD FLYING
INTO THE GLOW TOWER WINDOW!
Flick says MAYBE YOU'RE NOT AFRAID TO FLY,
MAYBE YOU JUST HIT YOUR HEAD
SO HARD ON THE WINDOW,
YOU FORGOT HOW!
Floyd says YEAH,
THAT MAKES TOTAL SENSE.
BUT WHAT ABOUT MY
NEW FEAR OF HEIGHTS?
I DON'T EVEN WANT
TO FLY ANY MORE.
Harvey says ME EITHER.
I ALWAYS KNEW IN MY HEART
I WAS MORE HORSE THAN FLY.
IT'S WAY TOO HIGH UP HERE, WAY
TO EASY TO GET DISTRACTED AND...
Boris, the bee with a white moustache, flies by and says EVENING, SHUTTERBUGS!
Harvey says OH, HEY BORIS.
He falls over the edge and the others yell HARVEY!
Flick flies over to help him and says HARVEY!
Opal says FLICK'S WINGS CAN'T
BEAT FAST ENOUGH TO SAVE HARVEY.
HE NEEDS A FLY!
AH, OH, THAT'S HIGH!
WHOA, IT'S MAKING ME
AH, AH, AH - DIZZY!
Opal says THERE'S NOTHING AS STRONG
AS A FLY'S FLYING MUSCLES.
YOU CAN DO THIS FLOYD!
Floyd says MY NAME ISN'T FLOYD,
IT'S...
BUG NUGGETS!
He trips over the edge and falls past Flick and Harvey, who say THAT'S NOT GOOD.
Floyd yells AHHH!
Flick says CAN'T MAKE IT.
TOO HEAVY!
Harvey says I'M BIG BONED!
Flick says WINGS SO TIRED.
I CANT FLY!
AHHH!
They fall but Floyd catches them.
Harvey says FLOYD!
YOU'RE FLYING!
Floyd says NOT FOR LONG!
Floyd drops Flick, who yells AHHH!
Floyd gasps and says YOU GOT TO FLY WITH ME BUDDY.
FLICK NEEDS US!
Opal says HARVEY, YOU'RE
NOT JUST A HORSE...
Harvey says I'M A HORSE FLY!
They rescue Flick and Opal says I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!
Back in the tower, Harvey and Floyd high-five, but Floyd misses and hits a wall.
Floyd says OUCH...
HEY SHUTTERBUGS!
WHAT ARE YOU
GUYS DOING UP HERE?
Flick says FLOYD?
Floyd says WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE?
YOU FEELING OKAY?
YOU'RE ACTING A LITTLE OFF.
Back at the news office, Flick 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!
YOU UNCOVERED OUR MYSTERIOUS
SCREAMER, AND HELPED FLOYD,
AND HARVEY, FLY AGAIN!
Opal says BARELY!
JUST GOES TO SHOW, WHEN YOU
ONLY FOCUS ON THE NEGATIVE,
YOU CAN BRING OTHERS
DOWN WITH YOU.
Flick says BUT IF YOU FALL DOWN OFF THAT
HORSE, YOU HAVE TO HOP BACK ON.
RIGHT HARVEY?
Harvey gives Floyd a piggy-back ride and says YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
BABS AND I ARE GOING
DOUBLE DECKER FLYING.
Flick says OH NO, FLOYD FORGOT
HIS NAME AGAIN?
Floyd says NO, I REMEMBER.
BABS JUST HAS A NICE RING TO IT.
HI-HO, HARVEY!
They laugh and fly out the window.
The show ends and the credits roll.
