Transcript: Mojo Drops the Ball
[Rock music plays]
In an animation, Bo pushes levers and buttons on a controller in the Swop Shop Headquarters. He wears a green hat over his curly, short brown hair. Mojo, a blue vehicle, swaps from an airplane to a firetruck to a bulldozer with a crane on the back. They then swap to a truck with a wrecking ball and spin in a circle.
Singers sing, JET TOP, FIRE TOP, DOZER TOP, DIG IT UP. CRANE WITH A WRECKING BALL YOU KNOW THEY'LL ANSWER ANY CALL. JUMPER TOP, MONSTER TOP, TURN IT ON, SWOP IT UP. MOJO AND BO TO THE SWOP SHOP, LET'S GO.
The headquarters garage door opens, and Bo drives Mojo to the road.
Singers sing, MOJO. SWOPTOP. SWOP YOUR TOP, AND LET'S GO. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT ALL RIGHT.
On the road, Mojo swaps between different types of vehicles.
Singers sing, MOJO. SWOPTOP. SWOP YOUR TOP, AND LET'S GO. IT'S YOU AND ME; WE'RE OUTTA SIGHT.
Mojo zooms on the water. On the road, they drive with a ramp to a dump bed lowered, and scooter riders slide into the back of the truck. In a forest, Bo stands on a cherry picker and lifts a pig from a tree. Mojo swaps to a helicopter and a monster truck.
Singers sing, BOAT TOP, DUMPER TOP, RACE IT FAST, REV IT UP. CHERRY PICKER, OH-SO TALL. YOU KNOW THEY'LL ANSWER ANY CALL. CHOPPER TOP, MONSTER TOP, TURN IT ON, REV IT UP. MOJO AND BO TO THE RESCUE. LET'S GO! MOJO SWOPTOPS. SWOP YOUR TOP, AND LET'S GO.

[Birds chirping, rock music plays, clunking, whooshing, scraping, squeaking, dinging, engine whirring]
In the headquarters, Bo carefully positions a wooden plank, a paintbox, a toolbox, a bucket, and a tube. He wipes the bottom of a golf club with his hand and blows on it. Bo holds out the golf club, and it gleams. He puts down a golf ball and lines up his shot. Mojo arrives behind Bo.
Mojo says, HI, BO.
[Bo shouting, whooshing, the music stops]
Bo panics, and the golf club spins over his head. He catches it and hunches with a hand pressed to his chest.
Bo says, OOH. OOF.
Mojo asks, WHAT YOU DOING?
[Whooshing]
Bo spins the golf club. He points it to his right, turns forward, and lines up his shot.
Bo says, I'M GOING TO HIT THIS BALL INTO THAT CUP.
Mojo asks, BUT AREN'T YOU FACING THE WRONG WAY?
[Bo laughing, upbeat music plays, chiming, party horn tooting]
An arrow follows the route up the wooden plank, to the paintbox, across a table, to a toolbox, off the bottom of an overturned bucket, across the floor, and into a cup.
Bo says, MOJO, GOOD BUDDY, LET ME BREAK IT DOWN. FIRST, THE BALL GOES UP THE RAMP, OFF THAT PAINTBOX, ACROSS THE TABLE, OFF THE TOOLBOX. IT BOUNCES OFF A BUCKET, GOES INTO THAT PIPE, THROUGH THE PIPE, ALONG THE FLOOR, AND INTO THAT CUP.
Mojo says, NO WAY. YOU'LL NEVER DO THAT.
[Energetic music plays, thunking, slide whistle, whooshing, ball rumbling]
Bo hits the ball, and it rolls up the ramp to the paintbox, bounces across the table, bounces off the toolbox, bounces off the bucket, falls into the pipe, rolls across the floor, and rolls toward the cup.
Bo says, WON'T I, OLD FRIEND? JUST WATCH THIS. UP THE RAMP, OFF THE PAINTBOX, ACROSS THE TABLE, OFF THE TOOLBOX, OUT OF THE BUCKET, IN THE PIPE, THROUGH THE PIPE. ACROSS THE FLOOR, AND...
Mojo says, THAT'S AMAZING.
[Alarm blaring, shouting, thumping, Mojo exclaiming]
The horn on the wall toots, and the cup shakes. The ball bounces off the edge of the cup, hits the bucks, and bounces off Mojo’s face.
Bo says, OKAY. THAT STILL COUNTS.
[Whirring, clicking]
Bo pushes a button on a control panel, and Preston appears on a large computer screen. He stands beside a wooden shed with boards propped against each end.
Bo says, HI, PRESTON. OOH. NICE SHED.
Preston says, NO, IT'S NOT. IT'S OLD AND IT'S FALLING APART. LOOK.
[Grunting, creaking, knocking]
Preston pulls on the doorknob of the shed. He hits the door with a hammer.
Preston says, THE DOOR DOESN'T EVEN WORK. I WANT TO KNOCK IT DOWN AND BUILD A NEW ONE BUT DOING IT BY MYSELF WILL TAKE FOREVER.
Mojo says, OH. KNOCKING SOMETHING DOWN? WE CAN DO THAT.
Bo says, HELPING YOU IS WHAT WE DO.
[Clicking, upbeat music plays, chiming, beeping]
Bo pushes a button. An opening in the ceiling closes, and Bo picks up his controller. He and Mojo look at a computer screen.
Bo says, OH. I KNOW. I KNOW. WE'VE GOT THE PERFECT THING TO RUN DOWN A SHED.
[Beeping]
A picture of Mojo wearing a racer top appears.
Mojo says, YEAH. DRIVE THROUGH IT WITH A RACER TOP.
Bo says, NO. WE'VE GOT SOMETHING EVEN BETTER.
[Beeping]
A picture of Mojo wearing a dozer top appears.
Mojo says, OH, RIGHT. PUSH IT DOWN WITH A DOZER TOP.
Bo says, NO. EVEN BETTER. IT'S-- OH, COME ON. I'LL JUST SHOW YOU.
[Beeping, gasping]
Bo pushes a button, and they look at the large screen.
Both say, IT'S TIME TO SWOP THAT TOP!
[Rock music plays, tires screeching, whirring, clicking, clinking, grunting, tires squealing, thumping, footsteps running, Bo grunting, wrecking ball rumbling]
Mojo drives onto a platform and rises on a vehicle lift. Bo pushes buttons on the controller, and mechanical arms remove Mojo's wheels. Bo jumps into Mojo and fastens his seatbelt. The garage door opens, and Mojo drives out of the garage and stops. Mojo grits their teeth and drives forward, with a chain caught on something in the garage. Mojo stops, and Bo leaves the cab and returns to the garage. He pushes a wrecking ball as large as he is out of the garage.
Bo says, PHEW. IT'S YOUR NEW WRECKING BALL.
Mojo says, I LOVE IT!
[Birds chirping]
Bo says, ALTHOUGH IT COULD BE A LITTLE TOO HEAVY.
[Tires whirring]
Mojo says, NO WAY. WE CAN DO THIS. LET'S GO.
[Upbeat music plays, rumbling, Mojo grunting]
In Swoppiton, Mojo drags the wrecking ball on the road behind them, tearing the pavement. A man and a child stop on a sidewalk and watch them pass.
Mojo says, HEY. HEY, EVERYBODY. SURE, CAN'T WAIT. REAL AWESOME.
[Thumping, grunting]
Mojo bounces the wrecking ball on the road, leaving holes as they pass Jackson and Felix.
Mojo grunts, THE WRECKING BALL IS AWESOME.
[Engine whirring, upbeat music continues]
On a hill, Bo stands by a no-entry sign and gestures Mojo forward. Mojo pushes the wrecking ball up the hill.
Bo says, COME ON, MOJO. PUT YOUR FACE INTO IT. YOU'VE GOT THIS.
Mojo says, I'VE GOT THIS.
Bo says, YOU'VE GOT THIS.
Mojo says, I'VE GOT THIS.
Bo says, YOU'VE GOT THIS.
Mojo says, I'VE GOT THIS.
Bo says, YOU'VE GOT THIS.
Mojo says, I'VE GOT—
[Crashing, engine humming]
Mojo drives down the hill with the wrecking ball rolling behind them.
Mojo says, NO, I DON'T GOT THIS. I DON'T GOT THIS. I DON'T GOT THIS.
Bo shouts, MOJO, COME BACK!
[Engine whirring]
Mojo pushes the wrecking ball up the hill, and Bo pushes Mojo.
Mojo asks, HAVE YOU GOT ME?
Bo replies, YES. I'VE GOT YOU.
Mojo says, OKAY.
Bo says, I GOT YOU. I'VE STILL GOT YOU. LET'S GET THIS DONE.
[Banging]
At the top of the hill, Mojo and Bo collapse onto the road.
Bo says, UGH.
Mojo says, UGH. YOU KNOW WHAT, BO? I THINK THIS WRECKING BALL MIGHT JUST BE A TEENSY BIT ON THE HEAVY SIDE.
Bo says, YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT, MOJO.
[Smartphone ringing, beeping]
Bo takes his smartphone out of his pocket and sees Preston’s picture. He answers the call.
Preston says, HELLO, MOJO AND BO. ARE YOU STILL COMING? THAT SHED WON'T KNOCK ITSELF DOWN.
Mojo asks, ARE YOU SURE? BECAUSE IT WOULD BE GREAT IF IT DID.
Bo says, OOH. I DON'T KNOW, PRESTON. WE'VE MADE IT TO THE TOP OF SWOPPITON HILL, BUT WE SEEM TO BE HAVING A BIT OF A PROBLEM WITH OUR MASSIVE BALL.
Preston says, SWOPPITON HILL? HMM. WELL, THAT'S JUST ROUND THE CORNER. COOEE?
[Whooshing]
Bo and Mojo look down the side of the hill. Traffic barricades block an open sewer hole partway down. Around the corner, Preston waves by the shed at the end of the road.
Preston says, COOEE? I'M OVER HERE.
[Gentle music plays]
Bo says, OKAY, PRESTON. SIT TIGHT. I THINK I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A FANTASTIC IDEA.
[Beeping]
Bo ends the phone call.
Mojo says, OOH. I'M LIKING HOW YOU'RE THINKING, GOOD BUDDY. WHAT'S THE PLAN?
Bo says, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GET THE BALL FROM HERE TO PRESTON'S SHED. BUT IT'S TOO HEAVY TO CARRY AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE ROAD IS CLOSED.
Mojo says, SO?
[Upbeat music plays]
Bo looks at the barricaded open sewer hole, a mailbox, a bench, and a planter.
Bo says, IF WE PLAN OUR SHOT RIGHT, WE CAN'T MISS.
Mojo says, BUT FIRST, IT'S TIME FOR A HOT SWOP.
[Clanking, banging, upbeat music plays, door slamming, tires screeching]
In the headquarters, Bo pushes buttons on his controller. Bo jumps into Mojo and fastens his seatbelt. The garage door opens, and Mojo drives out with his dozer top.
Bo and Mojo shout, DOZER TOP!
[Tires screeching]
They drive back to the wrecking ball on the hilltop.
Bo says, OKAY, MOJO. WE'RE GOING TO HIT THIS BALL INTO THAT SHED.
[Whooshing, creaking]
At the shed, Preston tugs on the door.
Mojo says, NO WAY.
[Upbeat music plays, whooshing, chiming, banging, party horn tooting]
An arrow shows the route as Bo explains it to Mojo.
Bo says, YES WAY. LET ME BREAK IT DOWN. FIRST, WE'RE GOING TO BOUNCE OFF THAT ROAD WORKS BARRIER THERE. THEN, THE POST BOX. BOUNCE OFF THE BENCH. BOUNCE OF THE WALL. OFF THE PLANTER, OFF A BENCH. OFF THE FENCE, AROUND THE CORNER. HIT THE TREE, WHICH WILL BEND, AND PING IT UP INTO THE AIR, HIGH THROUGH THE SKY AND STRAIGHT DOWN ONTO PRESTON'S SHED. BULL'S-EYE.
Mojo says, WOW! I MEAN, WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
[Bo laughing]
Bo says, EXACTLY. WE CAN'T MISS.
THEN LET'S GET THIS BALL ROLLING.
[Engine whirring, thumping]
Mojo drives forward, hits the wrecking ball, and stops.
Mojo says, OH.
Bo says, YOU CAN'T MOVE IT LIKE THAT. IT NEEDS A GOOD WHACK.
[Whirring]
[Gentle music plays]
Mojo backs up and positions their scoop behind the wrecking ball. Bo looks out the window at the wrecking ball.
Bo says, NOW, WE NEED TO AIM CAREFULLY. PERFECT. NOW, JUST HIT IT WITH EXACTLY THE RIGHT—
Mojo says, EXACTLY RIGHT. GOT IT.
[Thudding, upbeat music plays]
Mojo spins and hits the wrecking ball.
Bo says, YEP. THAT DID IT. NOW, HERE WE GO. NOW, FIRST OFF, IT BOUNCES OFF THE ROAD WORK BARRIER. GOOD. GOOD. AND?
[Wood clattering, ball rumbling, whooshing, crashing, gasping, slide whistle]
The wrecking ball breaks the barriers and rolls around the rim of the sewer hole. It falls in.
Bo says, THAT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
[Engine rumbling, door slamming]
Mojo drives to the sewer hole, and Bo looks into it.
Bo says, OH, NO!
Mojo says, AT LEAST YOU GOT A HOLE IN ONE.
[Bo gasping, ball rumbling]
Bo says, LISTEN.
[Ball rumbling, gasping, engine whirring]
Bo says, I CAN HEAR IT. IT'S STILL ROLLING UNDER THE GROUND. MAYBE WE CAN GET IT BACK ON TRACK.
Mojo says, OR WE COULD FIND A NEW WAY.
[Clanking, engine whirring]
Bo jumps onto the bulldozer bucket and cups his hand around his ear. Mojo drives down the hill.
Bo says, QUICK, MOJO. WE'LL LOSE IT. OKAY, OKAY. THIS WAY. THAT WAY. FORWARD. FORWARD. OKAY. RIGHT A BIT. LEFT A BIT. THAT'S IT, MOJO. THAT'S IT. OKAY, HERE. IT'S COMING OUT HERE.
Mojo stops beside a sewer cover, and Bo leaps out of the bulldozer bucket.
Bo says, GET READY, MOJO. ANY SECOND NOW. ANY SECOND.
[Clanking, rumbling]
The wrecking ball pops out of a sewer hole further up the hill and rolls towards Mojo and Bo.
Mojo says, OOH. I CAN HEAR IT, TOO, NOW.
[Tense music plays, ball rumbling
The ball rolls closer to Bo and Mojo.
Bo says, EXACTLY, MOJO. IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT'S ROLLING STRAIGHT FOR US!
[Screaming, barricade clattering, upbeat music plays]
Bo leaps over a barricade and flees down the hill with Mojo. The wrecking ball smashes through the barricade behind them.
Bo shouts, NOTHING HAPPENS LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO!
[Ball rumbling]
Bo and Mojo run past Nan and Dot. The wrecking ball rolls behind them.
Bo says, SORRY. NEW WRECKING BALL. TOO HEAVY TO LIFT. PRETTY NICE, THOUGH, RIGHT? SORRY.
Dot asks, CAN I HAVE ONE?
Bo says, THIS IS NO GOOD, MOJO. WE HAVE TO FIND SOME WAY OF SLOWING IT DOWN.
Mojo says, I'M ON IT.
[Whirring, upbeat music continues, scraping, horn tooting]
Mojo spins and faces the wrecking ball with his bulldozer bucket. The ball rolls against the bucket, and Mojo puts on the brakes. Bo grabs a traffic cone and wedges it beneath the front of the wrecking ball.
Mojo says, UH, THAT WON'T HOLD IT FOR LONG.
Bo says, OH, NOTHING'S GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN.
Mojo says, MAYBE WE NEED A NEW ONE. LET'S GO.
Mojo and Bo flee down the hill and stop beside a stack of giant metal pipes.
Mojo says, OKAY, OKAY, OKAY. THINK, BUDDY. THINK.
Bo says, UH, UH-- WE COULD ROLL IT BACK TO THE TOP AND START OVER.
Mojo says, NOT LIKELY. I DON'T THINK I COULD GET IT BACK UP THAT HILL.
[Ball creaking]
Bo looks around and points at the pipes.
Bo says, UGH. IF THERE WAS ONLY SOME WAY TO TURN THIS SITUATION AROUND. I'VE GOT IT. I'VE GOT IT. I'VE GOT IT! PIPE!
Mojo says, WHAT?
[Crunching, upbeat music continues]
The wrecking ball squishes the traffic cone and rolls down the hill.
Bo says, TREE.
[Whooshing]
Bo points to a tree across the road.
Mojo says, TREE?
Bo says, SHED.
[Mojo gasping, whooshing, door thumping, wrecking ball rumbling]
At the shed, Preston pulls on the door.
Mojo says, SHED. WILL IT WORK?
Bo says, WE'LL FIND OUT.
[Rumbling, grunting]
Mojo and Bo push a pipe in front of the ball.
Bo says, GOOD. READY...STEADY... NOW, MOJO! NOW.
[Dramatic music plays, tinging, creaking, phewing]
The wrecking ball rolls into the pipe, and Mojo hits it with their scoop, turning the pipe towards the tree. The ball rolls partway up the tree, and the tree bends backward. The tree flings the wrecking ball.
[Whooshing, wind gusting, birds singing, slide whistle]
The ball flies through the air.
Mojo says, OKAY, PRESTON. HERE IT COMES.
[Grunting, slide whistle]
Preston stops pulling on the doorknob and looks at the falling wrecking ball.
Preston says, HUH?
[Preston shouting, wood clattering]
Preston covers his eyes and curls up on the ground. The wrecking ball lands on the roof of the shed.
Preston says, UH-- OOH.
[Happy music plays]
Mojo and Ben cheer, WE DID IT!
[Engine rumbling, tires screeching]
Mojo drives to Preston, and Bo jumps to the ground.
Preston says, WELL DONE, MOJO AND BO.
Bo says, IT'S NOT EXACTLY HOW IT WAS MEANT TO GO...
Mojo says, BUT WE GOT IT THERE.
Preston says, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT, BUT-- OH, DARN.
Mojo says, THE SHED DIDN'T FALL DOWN.
Preston says, GOODNESS! YOU'RE RIGHT.
[Creaking]
Preston pushes against the door of the shed.
Preston says, AH, WHAT A GREAT SHED. EVEN A GIANT, HEAVY WRECKING BALL COULDN'T BRING IT DOWN. MAYBE I'LL KEEP IT AFTER ALL.
Mojo says, HELPING YOU IS WHAT WE DO.
[Whooshing, engine humming]
Bo jumps in Mojo’s cab, and they drive away.
Bo says, BYE, PRESTON.
[Door creaking]
Preston opens the shed door.
Preston says, LOOK. HA-HA! EVEN THE DOOR WORKS NOW.
[Door slamming, shouting, crashing, door clicking, thumping, birds chirping]
Preston closes the door, and the rest of the shed collapses, leaving only the doorframe and door standing. Preston closes the door again, and the door and frame fall.
Preston says, OH.
[Upbeat music plays]
Singers sing, MOJO. SWOPTOPS. MOJO. SWOPTOPS. MOJO. SWOPTOPS.

Bo says, GET READY, MOJO. ANY SECOND NOW. ANY SECOND.
[Clanking, rumbling]
The wrecking ball pops out of a sewer hole further up the hill and rolls towards Mojo and Bo.
Mojo says, OOH. I CAN HEAR IT, TOO, NOW.
[Tense music plays, ball rumbling
The ball rolls closer to Bo and Mojo.
Bo says, EXACTLY, MOJO. IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT'S ROLLING STRAIGHT FOR US!
[Screaming, barricade clattering, upbeat music plays]
Bo leaps over a barricade and flees down the hill with Mojo. The wrecking ball smashes through the barricade behind them.
Bo shouts, NOTHING HAPPENS LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO!
[Ball rumbling]
Bo and Mojo run past Nan and Dot. The wrecking ball rolls behind them.
Bo says, SORRY. NEW WRECKING BALL. TOO HEAVY TO LIFT. PRETTY NICE, THOUGH, RIGHT? SORRY.
Dot asks, CAN I HAVE ONE?
Bo says, THIS IS NO GOOD, MOJO. WE HAVE TO FIND SOME WAY OF SLOWING IT DOWN.
Mojo says, I'M ON IT.
[Whirring, upbeat music continues, scraping, horn tooting]
Mojo spins and faces the wrecking ball with his bulldozer bucket. The ball rolls against the bucket, and Mojo puts on the brakes. Bo grabs a traffic cone and wedges it beneath the front of the wrecking ball.
Mojo says, UH, THAT WON'T HOLD IT FOR LONG.
Bo says, OH, NOTHING'S GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN.
Mojo says, MAYBE WE NEED A NEW ONE. LET'S GO.
Mojo and Bo flee down the hill and stop beside a stack of giant metal pipes.
Mojo says, OKAY, OKAY, OKAY. THINK, BUDDY. THINK.
Bo says, UH, UH-- WE COULD ROLL IT BACK TO THE TOP AND START OVER.
Mojo says, NOT LIKELY. I DON'T THINK I COULD GET IT BACK UP THAT HILL.
[Ball creaking]
Bo looks around and points at the pipes.
Bo says, UGH. IF THERE WAS ONLY SOME WAY TO TURN THIS SITUATION AROUND. I'VE GOT IT. I'VE GOT IT. I'VE GOT IT! PIPE!
Mojo says, WHAT?
[Crunching, upbeat music continues]
The wrecking ball squishes the traffic cone and rolls down the hill.
Bo says, TREE.
[Whooshing]
Bo points to a tree across the road.
Mojo says, TREE?
Bo says, SHED.
[Mojo gasping, whooshing, door thumping, wrecking ball rumbling]
At the shed, Preston pulls on the door.
Mojo says, SHED. WILL IT WORK?
Bo says, WE'LL FIND OUT.
[Rumbling, grunting]
Mojo and Bo push a pipe in front of the ball.
Bo says, GOOD. READY...STEADY... NOW, MOJO! NOW.
[Dramatic music plays, tinging, creaking, phewing]
The wrecking ball rolls into the pipe, and Mojo hits it with their scoop, turning the pipe towards the tree. The ball rolls partway up the tree, and the tree bends backward. The tree flings the wrecking ball.
[Whooshing, wind gusting, birds singing, slide whistle]
The ball flies through the air.
Mojo says, OKAY, PRESTON. HERE IT COMES.
[Grunting, slide whistle]
Preston stops pulling on the doorknob and looks at the falling wrecking ball.
Preston says, HUH?
[Preston shouting, wood clattering]
Preston covers his eyes and curls up on the ground. The wrecking ball lands on the roof of the shed.
Preston says, UH-- OOH.
[Happy music plays]
Mojo and Ben cheer, WE DID IT!
[Engine rumbling, tires screeching]
Mojo drives to Preston, and Bo jumps to the ground.
Preston says, WELL DONE, MOJO AND BO.
Bo says, IT'S NOT EXACTLY HOW IT WAS MEANT TO GO...
Mojo says, BUT WE GOT IT THERE.
Preston says, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT, BUT-- OH, DARN.
Mojo says, THE SHED DIDN'T FALL DOWN.
Preston says, GOODNESS! YOU'RE RIGHT.
[Creaking]
Preston pushes against the door of the shed.
Preston says, AH, WHAT A GREAT SHED. EVEN A GIANT, HEAVY WRECKING BALL COULDN'T BRING IT DOWN. MAYBE I'LL KEEP IT AFTER ALL.
Mojo says, HELPING YOU IS WHAT WE DO.
[Whooshing, engine humming]
Bo jumps in Mojo’s cab, and they drive away.
Bo says, BYE, PRESTON.
[Door creaking]
Preston opens the shed door.
Preston says, LOOK. HA-HA! EVEN THE DOOR WORKS NOW.
[Door slamming, shouting, crashing, door clicking, thumping, birds chirping]
Preston closes the door, and the rest of the shed collapses, leaving only the doorframe and door standing. Preston closes the door again, and the door and frame fall.
Preston says, OH.
[Upbeat music plays]
Singers sing, MOJO. SWOPTOPS. MOJO. SWOPTOPS. MOJO. SWOPTOPS.
