[MUSIC PLAYING]

The opening slate displays the show title in sparkly, golden letters against a blue background. It reads "The Lady Vocab Show."

Professor P says HELLO, WORD FANS, AND WELCOME
TO THE LADY VOCAB SHOW.
I'M YOUR HUMBLE HOST,
PROFESSOR P.

Professor P is in his late twenties and has short, black, curly hair. He wears thick, black glasses, a black sweater with a big, silver letter "P" in the middle, a white shirt, and a black tie.

Professor P says AND NOW GET READY FOR
THE QUEEN OF QUICK WIT.
LADY VOCAB!

Professor P stands in front of TV. Lady Vocab stands nearby next to a microphone. Behind Lady Vocab is a white sign that reads "LADY VOCAB."

Lady Vocab is in her late-twenties and has shoulder-length, blonde hair, with long bangs and furry, blonde ears. She wears sparkly, silver glasses, a striped white-and-black dress with very pointy shoulders and several words written on it.

Lady Vocab says THANKS,
PROFESSOR P.
ARE YOU READY TO GET
WACKY WITH YOUR WORDS?

Professor P says CERTAINLY, MY LADY.
TODAY'S WORD IS...
PICTOGRAPH.
WHICH IS A NOUN THAT
MEANS A PICTURE OR SYMBOL
REPRESENTING AN IDEA.
AS IN, THE HIEROGLYPHS ARE
PICTOGRAPHS AS THEY ARE
IMAGES OF IDEAS THAT
REPRESENT LANGUAGE.

Lady Vocab says SOUNDS COMPLICATED
TO ME.

Professor P says ACTUALLY THE OPPOSITE.
PICTOGRAPHS TODAY ARE USED
TO SHOW INFORMATION
IN AN EASY WAY.

Lady Vocab says HMM.
LIKE SHOW AND TELL.

Professor P says EXACTLY.
IN FACT, I ACTUALLY HAVE
A PICTOGRAPH SHOWING
HOW MANY BOOKS I
READ EACH MONTH.
I'LL SHOW YOU.

Lady Vocab says LET'S SEE.
OH, WOW.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT HAPPENED IN JUNE?

Professor P says OH, SOCCER SEASON
STARTED, MY LADY.

Lady Vocab says I HEAR YOU,
PROFESSOR.
