Transcript: Prankski
[Doorbell ringing, energetic music plays, whistling, doorbell ringing]
In an animation, a takeout restaurant has a countertop with jars of paint and a box of paintbrushes. Jars and cups with art supplies fill two coolers by a drink machine. A menu features pictures of food, brushes, paint, scissors, and condiment bottles. Live-action video clips show Bec Hill, in her thirties, making a face. She has curly pink hair. Bec wears a jester costume and dances. In the animation, straws, paint bottles, sunglasses, and drinks move on a conveyor belt. In a live-action video clip, children dance and paint. Bec blows bubbles through a zebra-shaped bubble blower.
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
[Lively music plays]
In Makeaway Takeaway, Bec leans over a newspaper on the counter. She wears a yellow shirt, blue shorts, and a blue apron with suspenders.
Bec says, YOU'LL GET CAUGHT ONE OF THESE DAYS, PRANKSKI. OH, HELLO. I'M BEC. WELCOME TO MAKEAWAY TAKEAWAY! I'M JUST CATCHING UP ON THE NEWS. APPARENTLY, PRANKSKI, THE NOTORIOUS JOKER OF THE ART WORLD, IS BACK AT IT AGAIN. WHILE I FIND OUT MORE, HERE IS TODAY'S MENU.
[Whooshing]
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Video footage shows Bec drawing a line with a ruler. A boy with short, dark brown hair looks at a second boy who wears a pink shirt and holds broken headphones. The short-haired boy wears headphones with giant pencils extending from each speaker, and small squirrel monkeys swing from a rope.
Bec narrates, COMING UP ON TODAY'S SHOW, A TECHNIQUE THAT INVOLVES LOTS OF LINES. I GET A CALL FROM A CUSTOMER WHO NEEDS HELP FIXING HIS HEADPHONES. AND I AM GOING TO BE MONKEYING AROUND TO THANK SOMEONE SPECIAL AT THE ZOO.
[Whooshing, upbeat music plays]
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
At the counter, Bec says, HMM. IT SAYS NOBODY KNOWS WHO THE REAL PRANKSKI IS, BECAUSE THEIR IDENTITY IS A SECRET. BUT THEY'VE BEEN PLAYING PRANKS ON OTHER ARTISTS FOR YEARS! I'VE BETTER WATCH MY BACK.
[Newspaper rustling]
Bec picks up her newspaper, and the bottom is shredded.
Bec shouts, PRANKSKI!
Bec says, WELL, THEY'LL HAVE TO TRY HARDER THAN THAT IF THEY WANT TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL.
[Slide whistle, thudding, whooshing, playful music plays]
Bec slips on a banana peel and falls. Bec stands with the banana peel on her head.
Bec says, WHOA! CAN'T BELIEVE I FELL FOR THAT. LITERALLY! BUT IT HAS GIVEN ME AN IDEA FOR…
[Exciting music plays]
Bec says, A TAKEAWAY TECHNIQUE!
[Whooshing, scissors snipping, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, scissors cut across a yellow screen. In live action, Bec sits at a table with paper, markers, a ruler, a pencil, and a banana.
Bec says, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU AN OPTICAL ILLUSION TECHNIQUE USING JUST LINES AND A BANANA. I'LL START BY PLACING THE BANANA IN THE MIDDLE OF A PIECE OF PAPER AND TRACING AROUND IT. I'M USING A PENCIL BECAUSE I'M GOING TO ERASE THIS AT THE END.
[Marker scratching, lid clicking]
Bec traces the banana. With a ruler, Bec draws a line at the top of the paper. She switches markers and draws another line. Bec switches colours after each line.
Bec says, THERE WE GO. NOW TAKE A RULER AND A MARKER, PLACE IT AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, AND DRAW A STRAIGHT LINE. THEN MOVE THE RULER DOWN JUST A BIT. AND CHANGE COLOURS. JUST MAKING SURE THE LINES ARE GOING TO BE EVENLY SPACED. YOU CAN USE ONE COLOUR OR THREE, LIKE ME! GREEN NEXT AND BACK TO ORANGE.
Bec uses the ruler to create straight lines across the page, alternating colours. When her line reaches the banana, she makes a curve inside the traced outline of the banana.
Bec says, ONCE YOU'VE REACHED THE BANANA, LEAVE A GAP, BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO ADD A CURVE THERE. MAKE SURE THE CURVES AND THE LINES MATCH UP. I'M JUST WORKING ALL THE WAY DOWN THE PAGE.
[Upbeat music plays, markers scratching]
Bec draws lines.
Bec says, IT'S VERY CALMING, THIS. AND IT LOOKS GREAT. USING THREE DIFFERENT COLOURS MAKES IT LOOK REALLY 3-D. THIS LOOKS VERY APPEALING. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRAW AROUND A BANANA. YOU CAN DRAW AROUND ANYTHING THAT FITS ON A PIECE OF PAPER. YOUR HAND, A PENCIL, EVEN YOUR WHOLE BODY, IF YOUR PAPER IS BIG ENOUGH.
After the banana finishes, Bec returns to drawing straight lines across the page.
Bec says, LAST FEW LINES. AND THE FINAL STEP IS TO ERASE THE PENCIL FROM AROUND THE BANANA. THIS IS THE MAGIC BIT. BY ERASING THE OUTLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE BANANA IS EMERGING FROM THE PAGE. AND THERE IS YOUR OPTICAL ILLUSION PICTURE USING JUST LINES AND A BANANA.
[Chiming]
In an animation, a blue frame surrounds Bec’s picture.
[Slide whistle, splattering, door opening, playful music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec opens a cooler door and takes out a strawberry milkshake.
Bec says, JUST GOING TO DO SOME PAINTING. HANG ON. I CAN'T PAINT WITH THIS! THIS IS A STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE!
Bec puts the milkshake back in the cooler.
Bec says, OH, NICE TRY, PRANKSKI. BUT THIS TIME, I'M ONE STEP AHEAD OF YOU.
[Door slamming, wobbling, whooshing, squelching]
Bec closes the cooler door, and a bucket on top tips, landing on Bec’s head.
Bec shouts, PRANKSKI!
[Ringing, whooshing, whirring, rubbing]
An order slip prints beneath a screen on the wall. Bec takes the bucket off her head. She uses a towel to wipe green paper off her head.
Bec says, A CUSTOMER! UGH.
On the screen, the short-haired boy says, HELLO, MAKEAWAY TAKEAWAY! BEC, I NEED YOUR HELP. MY BROTHER SAT ON MY HEADPHONES. THEY STILL WORK, BUT THE HEADSET IS BROKEN. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS TO HELP FIX THEM?
Bec says, SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM. I KNOW JUST THE THING! ONE ARTY DELIVERY COMING RIGHT UP.
[Rustling, energetic music plays, whistling, footsteps pattering, whooshing, zooming]
Bec grabs the piece of paper and runs. She jumps into a comic panel, ties her shoelaces, and straightens her socks. Then, she snaps her suspenders, puts on a hat, and fastens a belt with dangling markers around her waist. Bec winks and gives a thumbs-up.
Bec says, LET'S DO THIS!
[Upbeat music plays]
In his house, the short-haired boy relaxes on a couch. He picks up a cardboard model of a city skyline.
The short-haired boy, Kyron, says, HELLO, MY NAME IS KYRON, AND I'M 11. I LOVE ART, AND WHEN I GROW UP, I WANT TO BE AN ARCHITECT.
On the couch, Kyron sits between the boy wearing the pink shirt and a girl who has her hair in two long braids. They smile and tickle him.
Kyron says, THIS IS MY FAMILY. I HAVE A SISTER CALLED NATALIA AND A BROTHER CALLED RIO. ONE OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS IS LISTENING TO MUSIC.
[Slide whistle, Kyron gasping]
Rio holds broken headphones, and Kyron shakes his head.
Kyron says, BUT MY BROTHER'S ACCIDENTALLY SAT ON MY HEADPHONES!
Rio says, YEAH, SORRY. BEC, CAN YOU HELP FIX THEM?
[Doorbell ringing]
Rio says, PHEW! NICE ONE, BEC.
[Whooshing, scissors snipping, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, scissors cut across a yellow screen. In live action, Kyron wears an apron over his clothes. Behind him, brightly coloured crayons almost as tall as he is stand in a holder. Behind Bec, a large paper drink cup with a lid holds a cut-out of a paintbrush.
Bec says, HI, KYRON!
Kyron says, HI, BEC.
Bec says, NOW, WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM?
Kyron says, WELL, MY BROTHER RIO, HE'S BROKEN MY HEADPHONES.
Bec says, OH NO! WELL, DON'T WORRY. I CAN FIX THEM. IN FACT, I CAN MAKE THEM EVEN BETTER. I'M GOING TO TRANSFORM THESE INTO PENCIL HEADPHONES!
[Triumphant music plays, cheering, applause]
The completed headphones with large pencils over the speakers appear on a clear mannequin head.
In the art studio, Kyron says, YEAH!
[Upbeat music plays]
Bec says, ALL RIGHT, SO, THE SPEAKERS STILL WORK?
Kyron says, YES.
Bec says, OKAY, NOW I'M GOING TO FIX THESE FIRST BY ATTACHING THIS OLD HEADBAND THAT I FOUND. AND I'M JUST GOING TO GET A BIT OF MASKING TAPE. CAN YOU PASS ME THAT?
[Tape tearing]
Kyron takes a strip of tape from a roll.
Bec says, OH, YEAH, THAT'S PLENTY. THANK YOU. AND I'M JUST GOING TO WRAP THIS AROUND, LIKE THAT.
Bec and Kyron tape the speakers to the new headband.
Bec says, OKAY, THAT IS THE HEADBAND PART FIXED. BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S QUITE GOOD ENOUGH, IS IT?
Kyron says, NO, I THINK WE CAN DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
Bec says, I THINK WE CAN, TOO. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS LOOK LIKE A GIANT PENCIL. SO I'VE GOT THESE TWO CARDBOARD TUBES THAT I TOOK OUT OF THE RECYCLING, AND THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN THE OTHER. AND BECAUSE WE WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE A PENCIL, I'M GOING TO TAKE MY SCISSORS, AND I'M GOING TO CUT OUT FIVE TRIANGLES. YOU'LL SEE WHY IN A MOMENT.
[Scissors snipping]
Bec cuts five triangles off the end of one of the cardboard tubes.
Bec says, WE'VE GOT ONE. OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO WATCH YOUR FINGERS.
[Scissors clanking, rustling]
Bec puts the scissors down and pushes the headphones to the side.
Bec says, THAT'S FIVE. AND TO MAKE THIS LOOK LIKE A PENCIL TIP, WE'RE GOING TO FOLD IN THE TRIANGLES. LOOKS A BIT MORE LIKE A PENCIL TIP NOW, DOESN'T IT?
Bec pushes the triangles together.
Kyron says, YEAH.
Bec says, WE NEED TO TAPE IT DOWN. CAN I HAVE SOME TAPE, PLEASE?
[Tape rattling in holder, tearing]
Kyron says, SURE.
Bec asks, DO YOU WANT TO GO AROUND THESE EDGES?
Kyron tapes the triangles together.
Kyron says, HERE YOU GO.
Bec says, PERFECT!
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint drips. In live action, Bec holds an empty toilet paper tube.
Bec says, GOT THE SHORTER CARDBOARD TUBE FROM EARLIER. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE END OF THE PENCIL. SO WE WANT IT TO HAVE AN ERASER. I THINK THIS SMALL PLASTIC BOTTLE FROM RECYCLING LOOKS GOOD, DON'T YOU?
Bec picks up a small white bottle.
Kyron says, YEAH.
Bec slides the bottle inside of the tube, with the bottom of the bottle sticking out.
Bec says, IF I JUST PUT THAT THERE... NEED TO STICK IT DOWN, THOUGH.
Kyron says, MASKING TAPE.
Bec says, YEAH, EXACTLY! PERFECT.
Kyron tapes the bottle to the tube. Bec holds the two ends of the pencil together.
Bec says, THERE YOU GO. TO FIT THE TWO ENDS OF THE PENCIL ONTO THE HEADPHONES, JUST GRABBING MY SCISSORS AND CUTTING A LITTLE SLOT THERE.
[Scissors snipping]
Bec cuts a flap on the end of the shorter tube with the bottle.
Bec says, NOW I BEND THAT UP. AND SEE, THAT'S NOW MADE SPACE ON THE HEADPHONES.
Kyron says, WOW, THAT'S PRETTY CLEVER!
[Kyron giggling]
Bec says, YEAH, THANKS! I'LL DO A LITTLE ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR THE WIRE.
[Scissors snipping]
Bec cuts a second flap on the shorter tube.
Bec says, NOW THE WIRE HAS SOMEWHERE TO GO. GET THE OTHER TUBE, THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME.
[Whooshing, scissors snipping]
In an animation, scissors cut across a yellow screen. In live action, Bec holds a tube on each speaker.
Bec says, VOILA! WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO NEXT?
Kyron says, MASKING TAPE.
[Tape tearing]
Bec says, EXACTLY! GOOD STICKING.
[Echoing]
Kyron tapes the tubes over the speakers.
Kyron says, DONE.
Bec says, WONDERFUL! THAT'S PRETTY SECURE. NOW WE'RE GOING TO PAPIER MÂÂCHÉ.
[Clunking, upbeat music plays]
Kyron puts a bowl upside down on the table.
Bec says, THANK YOU! WE'RE USING AN OLD PLASTIC BOWL TO MAKE THE PAPIER MÂÂCHÉ-ING EASY.
Bec puts a container of glue and a container of tissue paper strips on the table.
Bec says, I'VE GOT TWO PARTS P.V.A., ONE PART WATER. AND I'VE GOT SOME PIECES OF TISSUE PAPER THAT I TOOK OUT OF AN OLD SHOE BOX. YOU CAN PAPIER MÂCHÉ WITH ANYTHING, LIKE NEWSPAPER, BUT I FIND THAT TISSUE PAPER DRIES FASTER. LET'S GET GOING. DIP IT IN LIKE THIS. AND WHEN YOU'VE GOT IT NICE AND STICKY, PUT IT OVER THE END.
Bec and Kyron dip the tissue strips in the glue, and each puts the strips on a tube. Bec puts the strips on the point of the pencil, and Kyron puts strips on the end and the eraser.
Bec says, OBVIOUSLY IT CAN GET A BIT MESSY, SO MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS OUTSIDE OR PUT DOWN SOME OLD NEWSPAPER. YOU SAID IT WAS YOUR BROTHER RIO THAT SAT ON YOUR HEADPHONES?
Kyron says, UH, YES.
Bec asks, IS HE THE CLUMSIEST ONE IN YOUR FAMILY?
Kyron says, UH, NO.
Bec says, NO? WHO IS THE CLUMSIEST?
Kyron says, ME.
[Kyron giggling]
Bec says, WHAT?! WHY HAVE I GOT YOU DOING THIS?!
[Both giggling]
Bec says, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP DOING THIS UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY COVERED AND THEN WAIT FOR IT TO DRY.
[Whooshing]
In an animation, lines whoosh across a yellow background. In live-action, Bec and Kyron touch the papier mâché.
Bec says, IT'S DRY.
Kyron says, YEP!
Bec says, READY TO PAINT.
[Whooshing]
Kyron picks up yellow, pink, and blue paint. Bec picks up black, yellow, and beige paint.
Bec continues, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE OUR PENCIL YELLOW.
[Whooshing, upbeat music plays]
They paint the pencil.
Bec asks, SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU'RE OLDER?
Kyron says, WELL, I DO WANT TO BE AN ARCHITECT.
Bec says, WHOA!
Kyron says, I PROBABLY WANT TO DESIGN THE TALLEST GLASS BUILDING.
Bec says, THAT'S A GOOD GOAL! YOU HAVE TO MAKE ONE OUT OF PAPIER MÂCHÉ FIRST.
Kyron says, YEAH.
Bec says, YEAH.
Kyron paints the eraser pink while Bec paints the sharpened pencil beige.
Bec says, ARCHITECTS USE PENCILS A LOT, AS WELL, DON'T THEY?
Kyron says, YEP.
Bec asks, WOULD YOU WEAR THIS TO YOUR FIRST JOB?
[Needle scratching a record, Bec laughing]
Kyron stops moving.
Bec says, ONCE IT'S PAINTED, WE'LL LET IT DRY, AND THEN WE'LL ADD THE DETAILS.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Kyron and Bec stand by the headphones on the bowl.
Bec says, IT'S DRY!
[Upbeat music plays]
Kyron says, YAY!
Bec says, YEAH! I'M GOING TO ADD SOME FINAL DETAILS WITH BLACK PEN. I'M JUST GOING OVER THE OUTLINE HERE.
[Pen scratching]
Bec outlines the different sections of the pencil.
Bec says, ALMOST DONE. JUST OUTLINING THE ARCHES.
Singers sing, HEY, HEY, HEY.
Bec says, AND THE TIP ON MY PENCIL.
[Cap clicking]
Bec draws on the tip of the pencil with her black pen. Bec puts the cap on her pen.
Bec says, DONE! THERE ARE YOUR PENCIL HEADPHONES. WANT TO TRY THEM OUT?
[Bec laughing]
Kyron puts on the headphones.
Bec says, LOOKING GOOD!
[Wobbling]
Kyron shakes his head.
Kyron says, JUST GO LIKE THIS.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays, Rio and Natalia laughing]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Kyron sits on the couch between Rio and Natalia. He wears his pencil headphones and uses a tablet as his siblings stare at him.
Kyron says, THANKS, BEC! YOU TRANSFORMED MY OLD HEADPHONES. THEY'RE VERY FUNNY AND WORK GREAT.
Bec says, YOU'RE WELCOME, KYRON! YOU ROCK!
[Rock music plays]
Bec puts the order in a blue tray.
Bec says, ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER.
Bec dances.
Bec says, AWW, YEAH! ROCKING IT OUT—
[Flatulence tooting]
Bec sits on a stool and jumps up again.
Bec says, WHOA! THAT WAS WEIRD.
[Flatulence tooting, shoes clunking]
Bec sits on the stool and quickly stands.
Bec says, HONESTLY, I'M NOT THAT WINDY!
[Upbeat music plays]
A whoopee cushion sticks to the back of Bec’s apron. Bec shakes her fist.
Bec says, PRANKSKI! TIME FOR SOME PAPER PUPPETRY.
[Whooshing, zooming]
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Bec stands beside a drawing of a clown on an easel. Green tissue paper sticks out of the clown’s nose. Bec scrunches her face and pulls the green tissue. A long string of different coloured tissue paper tied together comes out of the nose.
[Whooshing, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paper rolls across a yellow background. In live action, Bec hangs a net over her counter.
Bec says, I NEED THESE PRACTICAL JOKES TO STOP, SO I'VE SET UP THIS INGENIOUS NET TRAP TO CATCH THAT PESKY PRANKSTER.
[Maniacal laughing, thunder crashing]
Bec says, BUT FIRST, I'LL MAKE A MINI MAKE.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec sits at a small table. She has an empty glass bowl, a whisk, small bottles, and four paper cups.
Bec says, I'M GOING TO MAKE AN ICE LOLLY BATH BLITZER. I'VE GOT EQUAL PARTS BICARBONATE OF SODA AND CREAM OF TARTAR. JUST GOING TO POP THEM INTO THE BOWL.
[Rustling, cups tapping, water splashing]
Bec pours the two powders into the bowl. She adds water.
Bec says, AND A LITTLE DASH OF WATER. THEN A TINY DASH OF FOOD COLOURING. I ONLY NEED A LITTLE BIT.
Bec adds red food colouring.
Bec says, AND TO MAKE IT SMELL NICE, I'M ADDING A FEW DROPS OF LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL.
[Clanking]
Bec shakes the lavender oil bottle over the bowl.
Bec says, OH, SMELLS LOVELY. AND FINALLY, FOR MY ICE LOLLY'S SPRINKLES, I'M GOING TO ADD SOME DRIED LAVENDER AS WELL.
[Lavender rattling, clanking]
Bec adds dried lavender to the bowl. Bec stirs the contents of the bowl with the whisk.
Bec continues, NOW, START MIXING! I WANT THIS TO HAVE THE CONSISTENCY OF WET SAND SO I'M GOING TO ADD A TINY BIT MORE WATER.
[Clanking, water splashing, whooshing]
Bec adds water and stirs.
Bec says, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. ONCE IT'S GOT A NICE CRUMBLY TEXTURE, WE CAN START PACKING IT INTO A MOULD.
[Upbeat music plays]
Bec scoops the mixture into a cup.
Bec says, I'M USING A RECYCLED PAPER CUP. JUST SCOOPING IT IN. PACK IT DOWN NICE AND TIGHT. WE WANT IT TO BE REALLY CONDENSED.
Bec pushes down on the mixture and adds more to the cup. She fills the cup to the top and pushes an ice lolly stick into the middle.
Bec says, LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I'LL ADD AN ICE LOLLY STICK. I'LL LEAVE THAT ASIDE TO DRY. AND HERE'S ONE THAT IS READY. I'M GOING TO TAKE IT OUT. CAREFUL.
[Scraping]
Bec slowly slides the bath blitzer out of the cup.
Bec says, AND THERE IS YOUR ICE LOLLY BATH BLITZER. LET'S TEST IT OUT. HERE WE GO!
[Upbeat music plays, fizzing]
Bec walks to a large bowl of water on the counter and stirs it with the bath blitzer. Foam and dried lavender cover the surface of the water.
Bec says, I CAN'T WAIT FOR A BATH!
[Slide whistle, splattering, playful music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, a large doughnut lies on a napkin on a plate on a table.
Bec says, OH, HELLO. WHAT'S THIS!
Bec reads, "DEAR BEC, I'M SORRY FOR PLAYING SO MANY PRACTICAL JOKES ON YOU TODAY. TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU, PLEASE ACCEPT THIS JAM DOUGHNUT. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM. ALL THE BEST, PRANKSKI.”
Bec says, THAT'S SO NICE! AWW, I FORGIVE YOU, PRANKSKI. WHEREVER YOU ARE.
[Chomping, screaming]
Bec bites the doughnut.
Bec reads, "P.S., I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE EXTRA HOT CHILI JAM"?!
Bec says, PRANKSKI!
[Chiming, whooshing]
The screen on the wall activates.
Bec says, A CUSTOMER!
[Glugging, squeaking]
Bec drinks from a milk jug, then wipes her mouth with her hand.
Bec says, AHH.
On the screen, a boy with short blond hair wears a red T-shirt with a camouflage print.
The blond-haired boy says, IT'S THE MAKE OF THE DAY. I'M BLAKE, AND I'M FROM HALIFAX.
Bec says, HI, BLAKE!
The blond-haired boy, Blake, asks, WHAT CAN YOU MAKE OUT OF THESE THREE INGREDIENTS--
[Whirring]
On the conveyor belt, the ingredients move past Bec as Blake lists them.
Blake says, A RECYCLED PLASTIC POT, TIN FOIL, AND BROWN TISSUE PAPER.
Bec says, OH, THESE ARE GOOD INGREDIENTS, BLAKE. I NEED TO FIND OUT A BIT MORE ABOUT YOU, THOUGH. TELL ME, WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE EMOJI?
Blake says, MY FAVOURITE EMOJI IS THE POO EMOJI, BECAUSE WHEN I SEND IT TO MY FRIENDS, IT ALWAYS MAKES THEM LAUGH.
Bec says, OH, ME TOO! IN FACT, THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA. ONE MAKE OF THE DAY COMING RIGHT UP!
[Whooshing]
Bec walks to the other end of the counter to paper, the three ingredients, water, and bowls.
Bec says, I'M GOING TO MAKE A POO POT WITH BLAKE'S INGREDIENTS.
[Fanfare plays, cheering, applause]
A photograph shows the finished project, featuring green grass surrounding the pot and a brown swirl with two eyes at the top.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec stands at the counter.
Bec says, I'M STARTING WITH BLAKE'S FIRST INGREDIENT, THE RECYCLED POT.
[Clunking, marker scratching]
Bec puts down the bottom of the clear plastic pot and puts the lid on a square of brown cardboard. She traces the round lid with a black marker.
Bec says, AND USING THE LID. I'VE GOT A PIECE OF CARDBOARD. I'M JUST GOING TO TRACE AROUND IT.
[Scissors snipping]
Bec draws a swirl in the circle on the cardboard. She cuts along the line with scissors.
Bec says, AND THEN I'M GOING TO DO A SWIRL. THEN I'LL CUT IT OUT. WATCH YOUR FINGERS. IF IT GETS TOUGH, ASK AN ADULT TO HELP YOU. OH, IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A SWIRLY POO ALREADY. NEXT, I'LL TAKE BLAKE'S SECOND INGREDIENT, THE TIN FOIL. AND I'M GOING TO WRAP IT AROUND THE SWIRL.
[Tinfoil crinkling, whooshing]
Bec wraps the tinfoil around the swirl.
Bec says, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE TOO TIGHT. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO MOULD IT LATER. TIN FOIL IS GREAT, BECAUSE IT'S REALLY EASY TO MOULD. KEEP ADDING TO BUILD UP THE SWIRL.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec holds the tinfoil-wrapped swirl. She spreads glue on the top of the lid and attaches the swirl.
Bec says, THERE WE GO! A LOVELY POO SHAPE. THEN STICK THE POO SHAPE ONTO THE LID WITH SOME STRONG GLUE. NEXT, I'M GOING TO PAPIER MÂCHÉ THE POT USING BLAKE'S THIRD INGREDIENT, THE BROWN TISSUE PAPER. I'M USING P.V.A., A LITTLE BIT OF WATER MIXED IN SO THAT IT DOESN'T GET TOO STICKY.
Bec spreads glue on the swirl and pastes on a strip of tissue. She dips the next strip directly in the glue and attaches it to the swirl.
Bec says, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE A BRUSH, YOU CAN GET YOUR FINGERS STICKY. MAKE SURE YOU LAY DOWN SOME NEWSPAPER FIRST. I AM PAPIER MÂCHÉ-ING UP TO THE EDGE OF THE LID SO I CAN STILL FIT IT OVER THE POT.
Bec brushes the swirl with the paintbrush.
Bec says, I'M USING THE PAINT BRUSH TO PUSH THE TISSUE PAPER INTO THE CREASES. I'M GOING TO FINISH DOING THIS AND THEN I'LL DO THE POT.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec puts the swirl and lid on the table. She picks up a large glass bowl, a container of water, and a container with a white powder.
Bec says, THERE WE GO. NOW I'LL PUT THAT ASIDE TO DRY WHILE I MAKE THE SLIME! GOT MY MIXING BOWL, AND I'VE GOT TWO PARTS CORN FLOUR AND ONE PART WATER. GOING TO TIP THE CORN FLOUR IN. MAKE SURE YOU PUT DOWN SOME NEWSPAPER FIRST. AND AS I JUST PUT IN A LITTLE BIT OF WATER AT A TIME, START MIXING.
[Water splashing]
Bec stirs the corn starch and repeatedly adds a bit of water. She kneads the corn flour with her hands
Bec says, TIME TO GET MY FINGERS MESSY. CORN FLOUR IS GREAT BECAUSE IT GIVES IT THIS REALLY WEIRD CONSISTENCY. SEE, IT'S ALREADY GETTING REALLY SLIMY! BLECH!
Corn flour drips off Bec’s fingers. She adds drops of brown food colouring to the slime mixture.
Bec says, I'M GOING TO ADD SOME BROWN FOOD COLOURING. A FEW DRIPS. MIX IT IN. IT'S THICKENING UP. THIS SLIME IS MAGIC AND CAN BE A LIQUID AND A SOLID. I'LL GIVE MY HANDS A WASH AND PUT THIS IN THE POT.
[Slide whistle, splattering, tapping]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec has the pot of slime and the brown swirl on the table in front of her. Bec taps the surface of the slime.
Bec says, THE SLIME IS IN THE POT. AND I'M GOING TO ADD SOME FINAL TOUCHES.
[Upbeat music plays]
Bec attaches the green grass paper to the bottom of the pot and attaches two eyes to the brown swirl.
Bec says, I'VE GOT A STRIP OF GREEN PAPER THAT I'VE CUT OUT TO LOOK LIKE GRASS. I'VE GOT TWO EYES I'VE MADE OUT OF CARD. AND FINALLY, I'M ADDING A LITTLE FLY THAT I MADE WITH SOME PIPE CLEANER AND TRACING PAPER. AND THERE IS YOUR POO POT.
Bec attaches a small black fly to the top of the swirl.
Bec says, WHILE I PACKAGE THIS UP FOR BLAKE, HERE'S SOME OTHER SLIME POTS YOU CAN MAKE.
[Whooshing, scissors snipping, whooshing, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, scissors cut across a yellow screen. Photographs show a toadstool pot with an indigo top with orange polka dots, and a pink cupcake with sprinkles and a cherry on top.
Bec asks, HOW ABOUT A MUSHY MUSHROOM SLIME POT? OR A CHEEKY CHERRY CUPCAKE?
[Rustling, chiming]
Bec puts a blue bag in a slot on the wall and pushes a button.
Bec says, ONE MAKE OF THE DAY COMING RIGHT UP!
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Blake holds the pot.
Blake says, THANKS SO MUCH FOR MY POO POT, BEC. IT'S GREAT! EW...
[Blake giggling]
Blake puts his hand in the slime, and it drips off his fingers.
Blake says, THERE'S SLIME! MY FRIENDS WILL LOVE THIS.
In Makeaway Takeaway, Bec says, ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER.
[Whooshing, zooming]
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
Bec says, UH...
[Humming, gasping]
Bec packs a hot sauce bottle, a jar, the whoopee cushion, and a piece of paper into a box.
Bec says, OH, YOU CAUGHT ME RED-HANDED! LITERALLY.
[Alarm blaring]
Bec holds up her red-stained hands and waggles her fingers.
Bec says, THAT'S RIGHT, I AM PRANKSKI. IT WAS ME ALL ALONG.
[Crowd gasping, tense music plays]
Bec says, I KNEW IF EVERYONE ELSE GOT PRANKED EXCEPT FOR ME, IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS WHO THE PRANKSTER WAS. BUT I GUESS THE REIGN OF THIS PRACTICAL JOKER IS FINALLY OVER.
[Whooshing]
The net falls on Bec.
Bec says, AWW, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!
[Banana phone ringing]
Bec says, THE BANANA PHONE!
[Net rustling, beeping]
Bec pushes the net up off her face and answers the banana phone.
Bec says, HELLO, MAKEAWAY TAKEAWAY.
[Whooshing, background chatter, birds chirping]
On a split screen, a boy with short, dark brown hair speaks into a cellphone. He wears a dark blue shirt.
The brown-haired boy says, HI, BEC. IT'S JASPER HERE. CAN YOU DELIVER AN ARTY SURPRISE FOR HELEN HERE AT CHESSINGTON ZOO?
The split screen disappears.
In Makeaway Takeaway, Bec says, SOUNDS WILD! I'M ON MY WAY!
[Beeping, clattering, slide whistle]
Bec ends the call and hangs up the banana phone.
[Whooshing, zooming]
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
[Upbeat music plays, monkeys chittering, tiger snorting]
At the zoo, Bec stands beside a sign that reads, “Chessington World of Adventures Resort.” She stands in a lookout tower with zebras grazing below. The squirrel monkeys climb on a rope course. Bec stands beside an enclosure with her hands on her hips, and a tiger walks to the fence and stares at her. The tiger sits and licks their lips. At another enclosure, a zoo worker with long blonde hair pulled away from her face stands with three boys and a girl.
The blonde-haired zoo worker says, OUR ASIAN SHORT-CLAWED OTTERS, THEY ARE VULNERABLE, SO THEY ARE THREATENED OUT IN THE WILD BY THINGS LIKE WATER POLLUTION AND HABITAT LOSS. THEY WILL USE ALL OF THIS WATER AREA. THEY ARE SEARCHING IN THOSE RIVERS FOR FISH, FOR SEAFOOD, THINGS LIKE SHRIMP...
[Otter squeaking]
Everyone gathers around a window in the enclosure and looks down. Bec appears behind the zoo worker and gestures at the brown-haired boy, Jasper, and at a blond-haired boy. They follow her.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays, birds chirping]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec and the two boys sit cross-legged on the grass.
Bec says, HI, JASPER, HI, AIDEN!
The blond-haired boy, Aiden, says, HI, BEC, IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.
[Background children shouting, birds chirping]
Bec says, NICE TO MEET YOU TOO! SO, YOU WANT ME TO MAKE SOMETHING ARTY FOR THE EDUCATION OFFICER HERE, HELEN?
Jasper says, YEAH.
Bec says, YEAH? WHY IS THAT?
In an enclosure, the blonde-haired zoo employee, Helen, feeds some goats.
Jasper says, WELL, SHE MAKES EVERY VISIT SO MUCH FUN.
Aiden says, SHE ALSO IS THE CHESSINGTON CONSERVATION FUND OFFICER.
Bec asks, WHAT DO THEY DO?
Aiden says, THEY HELP ENDANGERED SPECIES AROUND THE PLANET.
Bec says, OH, THAT'S LOVELY! WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE ANIMAL TO SEE HERE?
Jasper says, TIGER.
Bec says, OH, A TIGER. LOVE A TIGER.
Aiden says, MINE IS A SHARK.
Bec says, OH!
Aiden says, YOU SEE THEM IN THE SEA LIFE.
Jasper says, I ALSO LIKE MONKEYS, THEY'RE A LOT LIKE MY SISTER.
[Upbeat music plays]
Bec says, OH, NICE! OH, ACTUALLY, YOU'VE GIVEN ME AN IDEA. SOMETHING THAT WILL INVOLVE A LOT OF MONKEYING AROUND.
The boys say, LET'S GO!
[Squeaking, rope rattling, mellow music plays, carrot crunching, carrots thumping]
In the squirrel monkey enclosure, a monkey runs on a rope. Monkeys leap from rope to rope. Helen brings a box of vegetables to the enclosure and gives it to Jasper and Aiden. They take the box to Bec at a table, and she provides them vegetable peelers. A second zoo employee with her hair in a bun feeds a carrot to a donkey. Aiden holds out an empty bowl, and she puts a handful of carrots in the bowl. At the table, Bec, Jasper, Aiden, and the other children peel and chop vegetables.
Singers sing, YEAH, YEAH. WHOA, WHOA. YEAH, YEAH. WHOA, WHOA. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. YEAH, YEAH.
[Whooshing, slide whistle, flapping, background children shouting, upbeat music plays, squeaking]
The children lay lettuce leaves along the bottom of the table. Bec fans herself with two lettuce leaves. They create flowers by laying eggplants and halved peppers in circles like petals.
Bec says, THERE! SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Aiden says, WHOA, IT'S AMAZING!
Bec says, SHOULD WE GET HELEN?
The children say, YEAH!
Bec says, GO!
A girl with long brown hair says, HAVE A LOOK.
[Upbeat music plays]
Helen’s eyes widen. A picture made of sliced vegetables shows the sun setting behind vines and branches.
Helen says, OH MY GOODNESS. THIS IS INCREDIBLE! THERE'S SO MANY VEGGIES ON HERE.
Jasper says, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE TO HELP CONSERVE THE ANIMALS ON THIS PLANET.
Aiden says, YOU'VE TAUGHT US SO MUCH, SO WE MADE THIS JUST FOR YOU.
A short-haired boy says, AND THE SQUIRREL MONKEYS.
Helen says, WELL, I AM SURE THE SQUIRREL MONKEYS ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS JUST AS MUCH AS I DO.
Bec says, TIME TO GIVE THIS TO OUR MONKEY FRIENDS!
[Everyone cheering]
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, the squirrel monkeys run to the vegetable picture. They eat vegetables on the table and on the ropes.
The singers sing, YEAH, YEAH. WHOA, WHOA. YEAH, YEAH. WHOA, WHOA.
Bec says, WELL, THE MONKEYS SEEM TO BE ENJOYING IT.
Helen says, THEY CERTAINLY ARE!
Bec says, THAT'S BEEN ANOTHER BRILLIANT DAY OF DELIVERING ART TO YOUR DOOR. SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON...
Everyone shouts, MAKEAWAY TAKEAWAY!
The singers sing, YEAH, YEAH.
[Birds chirping, upbeat music plays]
A squirrel monkey eats a leek. Another squirrel monkey stands on the table and eats.

[Doorbell ringing]
In an animation, a takeout restaurant has a countertop with jars of paint and a box of paintbrushes. Jars and cups with art supplies fill two coolers by a drink machine. A menu features pictures of food, brushes, paint, scissors, and condiment bottles. Live-action video clips show Bec Hill, in her thirties, making a face. She has curly pink hair. Bec wears a jester costume and dances. In the animation, straws, paint bottles, sunglasses, and drinks move on a conveyor belt. In a live-action video clip, children dance and paint. Bec blows bubbles through a zebra-shaped bubble blower.
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
[Lively music plays]
In Makeaway Takeaway, Bec leans over a newspaper on the counter. She wears a yellow shirt, blue shorts, and a blue apron with suspenders.
Bec says, YOU'LL GET CAUGHT ONE OF THESE DAYS, PRANKSKI. OH, HELLO. I'M BEC. WELCOME TO MAKEAWAY TAKEAWAY! I'M JUST CATCHING UP ON THE NEWS. APPARENTLY, PRANKSKI, THE NOTORIOUS JOKER OF THE ART WORLD, IS BACK AT IT AGAIN. WHILE I FIND OUT MORE, HERE IS TODAY'S MENU.
[Whooshing]
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Video footage shows Bec drawing a line with a ruler. A boy with short, dark brown hair looks at a second boy who wears a pink shirt and holds broken headphones. The short-haired boy wears headphones with giant pencils extending from each speaker, and small squirrel monkeys swing from a rope.
Bec narrates, COMING UP ON TODAY'S SHOW, A TECHNIQUE THAT INVOLVES LOTS OF LINES. I GET A CALL FROM A CUSTOMER WHO NEEDS HELP FIXING HIS HEADPHONES. AND I AM GOING TO BE MONKEYING AROUND TO THANK SOMEONE SPECIAL AT THE ZOO.
[Whooshing, upbeat music plays]
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
At the counter, Bec says, HMM. IT SAYS NOBODY KNOWS WHO THE REAL PRANKSKI IS, BECAUSE THEIR IDENTITY IS A SECRET. BUT THEY'VE BEEN PLAYING PRANKS ON OTHER ARTISTS FOR YEARS! I'VE BETTER WATCH MY BACK.
[Newspaper rustling]
Bec picks up her newspaper, and the bottom is shredded.
Bec shouts, PRANKSKI!
Bec says, WELL, THEY'LL HAVE TO TRY HARDER THAN THAT IF THEY WANT TO MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL.
[Slide whistle, thudding, whooshing, playful music plays]
Bec slips on a banana peel and falls. Bec stands with the banana peel on her head.
Bec says, WHOA! CAN'T BELIEVE I FELL FOR THAT. LITERALLY! BUT IT HAS GIVEN ME AN IDEA FOR…
[Exciting music plays]
Bec says, A TAKEAWAY TECHNIQUE!
[Whooshing, scissors snipping, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, scissors cut across a yellow screen. In live action, Bec sits at a table with paper, markers, a ruler, a pencil, and a banana.
Bec says, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU AN OPTICAL ILLUSION TECHNIQUE USING JUST LINES AND A BANANA. I'LL START BY PLACING THE BANANA IN THE MIDDLE OF A PIECE OF PAPER AND TRACING AROUND IT. I'M USING A PENCIL BECAUSE I'M GOING TO ERASE THIS AT THE END.
[Marker scratching, lid clicking]
Bec traces the banana. With a ruler, Bec draws a line at the top of the paper. She switches markers and draws another line. Bec switches colours after each line.
Bec says, THERE WE GO. NOW TAKE A RULER AND A MARKER, PLACE IT AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE, AND DRAW A STRAIGHT LINE. THEN MOVE THE RULER DOWN JUST A BIT. AND CHANGE COLOURS. JUST MAKING SURE THE LINES ARE GOING TO BE EVENLY SPACED. YOU CAN USE ONE COLOUR OR THREE, LIKE ME! GREEN NEXT AND BACK TO ORANGE.
Bec uses the ruler to create straight lines across the page, alternating colours. When her line reaches the banana, she makes a curve inside the traced outline of the banana.
Bec says, ONCE YOU'VE REACHED THE BANANA, LEAVE A GAP, BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO ADD A CURVE THERE. MAKE SURE THE CURVES AND THE LINES MATCH UP. I'M JUST WORKING ALL THE WAY DOWN THE PAGE.
[Upbeat music plays, markers scratching]
Bec draws lines.
Bec says, IT'S VERY CALMING, THIS. AND IT LOOKS GREAT. USING THREE DIFFERENT COLOURS MAKES IT LOOK REALLY 3-D. THIS LOOKS VERY APPEALING. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRAW AROUND A BANANA. YOU CAN DRAW AROUND ANYTHING THAT FITS ON A PIECE OF PAPER. YOUR HAND, A PENCIL, EVEN YOUR WHOLE BODY, IF YOUR PAPER IS BIG ENOUGH.
After the banana finishes, Bec returns to drawing straight lines across the page.
Bec says, LAST FEW LINES. AND THE FINAL STEP IS TO ERASE THE PENCIL FROM AROUND THE BANANA. THIS IS THE MAGIC BIT. BY ERASING THE OUTLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE BANANA IS EMERGING FROM THE PAGE. AND THERE IS YOUR OPTICAL ILLUSION PICTURE USING JUST LINES AND A BANANA.
[Chiming]
In an animation, a blue frame surrounds Bec’s picture.
[Slide whistle, splattering, door opening, playful music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec opens a cooler door and takes out a strawberry milkshake.
Bec says, JUST GOING TO DO SOME PAINTING. HANG ON. I CAN'T PAINT WITH THIS! THIS IS A STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE!
Bec puts the milkshake back in the cooler.
Bec says, OH, NICE TRY, PRANKSKI. BUT THIS TIME, I'M ONE STEP AHEAD OF YOU.
[Door slamming, wobbling, whooshing, squelching]
Bec closes the cooler door, and a bucket on top tips, landing on Bec’s head.
Bec shouts, PRANKSKI!
[Ringing, whooshing, whirring, rubbing]
An order slip prints beneath a screen on the wall. Bec takes the bucket off her head. She uses a towel to wipe green paper off her head.
Bec says, A CUSTOMER! UGH.
On the screen, the short-haired boy says, HELLO, MAKEAWAY TAKEAWAY! BEC, I NEED YOUR HELP. MY BROTHER SAT ON MY HEADPHONES. THEY STILL WORK, BUT THE HEADSET IS BROKEN. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS TO HELP FIX THEM?
Bec says, SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM. I KNOW JUST THE THING! ONE ARTY DELIVERY COMING RIGHT UP.
[Rustling, energetic music plays, whistling, footsteps pattering, whooshing, zooming]
Bec grabs the piece of paper and runs. She jumps into a comic panel, ties her shoelaces, and straightens her socks. Then, she snaps her suspenders, puts on a hat, and fastens a belt with dangling markers around her waist. Bec winks and gives a thumbs-up.
Bec says, LET'S DO THIS!
[Upbeat music plays]
In his house, the short-haired boy relaxes on a couch. He picks up a cardboard model of a city skyline.
The short-haired boy, Kyron, says, HELLO, MY NAME IS KYRON, AND I'M 11. I LOVE ART, AND WHEN I GROW UP, I WANT TO BE AN ARCHITECT.
On the couch, Kyron sits between the boy wearing the pink shirt and a girl who has her hair in two long braids. They smile and tickle him.
Kyron says, THIS IS MY FAMILY. I HAVE A SISTER CALLED NATALIA AND A BROTHER CALLED RIO. ONE OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS IS LISTENING TO MUSIC.
[Slide whistle, Kyron gasping]
Rio holds broken headphones, and Kyron shakes his head.
Kyron says, BUT MY BROTHER'S ACCIDENTALLY SAT ON MY HEADPHONES!
Rio says, YEAH, SORRY. BEC, CAN YOU HELP FIX THEM?
[Doorbell ringing]
Rio says, PHEW! NICE ONE, BEC.
[Whooshing, scissors snipping, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, scissors cut across a yellow screen. In live action, Kyron wears an apron over his clothes. Behind him, brightly coloured crayons almost as tall as he is stand in a holder. Behind Bec, a large paper drink cup with a lid holds a cut-out of a paintbrush.
Bec says, HI, KYRON!
Kyron says, HI, BEC.
Bec says, NOW, WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM?
Kyron says, WELL, MY BROTHER RIO, HE'S BROKEN MY HEADPHONES.
Bec says, OH NO! WELL, DON'T WORRY. I CAN FIX THEM. IN FACT, I CAN MAKE THEM EVEN BETTER. I'M GOING TO TRANSFORM THESE INTO PENCIL HEADPHONES!
[Triumphant music plays, cheering, applause]
The completed headphones with large pencils over the speakers appear on a clear mannequin head.
In the art studio, Kyron says, YEAH!
[Upbeat music plays]
Bec says, ALL RIGHT, SO, THE SPEAKERS STILL WORK?
Kyron says, YES.
Bec says, OKAY, NOW I'M GOING TO FIX THESE FIRST BY ATTACHING THIS OLD HEADBAND THAT I FOUND. AND I'M JUST GOING TO GET A BIT OF MASKING TAPE. CAN YOU PASS ME THAT?
[Tape tearing]
Kyron takes a strip of tape from a roll.
Bec says, OH, YEAH, THAT'S PLENTY. THANK YOU. AND I'M JUST GOING TO WRAP THIS AROUND, LIKE THAT.
Bec and Kyron tape the speakers to the new headband.
Bec says, OKAY, THAT IS THE HEADBAND PART FIXED. BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S QUITE GOOD ENOUGH, IS IT?
Kyron says, NO, I THINK WE CAN DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
Bec says, I THINK WE CAN, TOO. WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THIS LOOK LIKE A GIANT PENCIL. SO I'VE GOT THESE TWO CARDBOARD TUBES THAT I TOOK OUT OF THE RECYCLING, AND THIS ONE IS A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN THE OTHER. AND BECAUSE WE WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE A PENCIL, I'M GOING TO TAKE MY SCISSORS, AND I'M GOING TO CUT OUT FIVE TRIANGLES. YOU'LL SEE WHY IN A MOMENT.
[Scissors snipping]
Bec cuts five triangles off the end of one of the cardboard tubes.
Bec says, WE'VE GOT ONE. OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO WATCH YOUR FINGERS.
[Scissors clanking, rustling]
Bec puts the scissors down and pushes the headphones to the side.
Bec says, THAT'S FIVE. AND TO MAKE THIS LOOK LIKE A PENCIL TIP, WE'RE GOING TO FOLD IN THE TRIANGLES. LOOKS A BIT MORE LIKE A PENCIL TIP NOW, DOESN'T IT?
Bec pushes the triangles together.
Kyron says, YEAH.
Bec says, WE NEED TO TAPE IT DOWN. CAN I HAVE SOME TAPE, PLEASE?
[Tape rattling in holder, tearing]
Kyron says, SURE.
Bec asks, DO YOU WANT TO GO AROUND THESE EDGES?
Kyron tapes the triangles together.
Kyron says, HERE YOU GO.
Bec says, PERFECT!
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint drips. In live action, Bec holds an empty toilet paper tube.
Bec says, GOT THE SHORTER CARDBOARD TUBE FROM EARLIER. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE END OF THE PENCIL. SO WE WANT IT TO HAVE AN ERASER. I THINK THIS SMALL PLASTIC BOTTLE FROM RECYCLING LOOKS GOOD, DON'T YOU?
Bec picks up a small white bottle.
Kyron says, YEAH.
Bec slides the bottle inside of the tube, with the bottom of the bottle sticking out.
Bec says, IF I JUST PUT THAT THERE... NEED TO STICK IT DOWN, THOUGH.
Kyron says, MASKING TAPE.
Bec says, YEAH, EXACTLY! PERFECT.
Kyron tapes the bottle to the tube. Bec holds the two ends of the pencil together.
Bec says, THERE YOU GO. TO FIT THE TWO ENDS OF THE PENCIL ONTO THE HEADPHONES, JUST GRABBING MY SCISSORS AND CUTTING A LITTLE SLOT THERE.
[Scissors snipping]
Bec cuts a flap on the end of the shorter tube with the bottle.
Bec says, NOW I BEND THAT UP. AND SEE, THAT'S NOW MADE SPACE ON THE HEADPHONES.
Kyron says, WOW, THAT'S PRETTY CLEVER!
[Kyron giggling]
Bec says, YEAH, THANKS! I'LL DO A LITTLE ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR THE WIRE.
[Scissors snipping]
Bec cuts a second flap on the shorter tube.
Bec says, NOW THE WIRE HAS SOMEWHERE TO GO. GET THE OTHER TUBE, THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME.
[Whooshing, scissors snipping]
In an animation, scissors cut across a yellow screen. In live action, Bec holds a tube on each speaker.
Bec says, VOILA! WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO NEXT?
Kyron says, MASKING TAPE.
[Tape tearing]
Bec says, EXACTLY! GOOD STICKING.
[Echoing]
Kyron tapes the tubes over the speakers.
Kyron says, DONE.
Bec says, WONDERFUL! THAT'S PRETTY SECURE. NOW WE'RE GOING TO PAPIER MÂÂCHÉ.
[Clunking, upbeat music plays]
Kyron puts a bowl upside down on the table.
Bec says, THANK YOU! WE'RE USING AN OLD PLASTIC BOWL TO MAKE THE PAPIER MÂÂCHÉ-ING EASY.
Bec puts a container of glue and a container of tissue paper strips on the table.
Bec says, I'VE GOT TWO PARTS P.V.A., ONE PART WATER. AND I'VE GOT SOME PIECES OF TISSUE PAPER THAT I TOOK OUT OF AN OLD SHOE BOX. YOU CAN PAPIER MÂCHÉ WITH ANYTHING, LIKE NEWSPAPER, BUT I FIND THAT TISSUE PAPER DRIES FASTER. LET'S GET GOING. DIP IT IN LIKE THIS. AND WHEN YOU'VE GOT IT NICE AND STICKY, PUT IT OVER THE END.
Bec and Kyron dip the tissue strips in the glue, and each puts the strips on a tube. Bec puts the strips on the point of the pencil, and Kyron puts strips on the end and the eraser.
Bec says, OBVIOUSLY IT CAN GET A BIT MESSY, SO MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS OUTSIDE OR PUT DOWN SOME OLD NEWSPAPER. YOU SAID IT WAS YOUR BROTHER RIO THAT SAT ON YOUR HEADPHONES?
Kyron says, UH, YES.
Bec asks, IS HE THE CLUMSIEST ONE IN YOUR FAMILY?
Kyron says, UH, NO.
Bec says, NO? WHO IS THE CLUMSIEST?
Kyron says, ME.
[Kyron giggling]
Bec says, WHAT?! WHY HAVE I GOT YOU DOING THIS?!
[Both giggling]
Bec says, WE'RE GOING TO KEEP DOING THIS UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY COVERED AND THEN WAIT FOR IT TO DRY.
[Whooshing]
In an animation, lines whoosh across a yellow background. In live-action, Bec and Kyron touch the papier mâché.
Bec says, IT'S DRY.
Kyron says, YEP!
Bec says, READY TO PAINT.
[Whooshing]
Kyron picks up yellow, pink, and blue paint. Bec picks up black, yellow, and beige paint.
Bec continues, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE OUR PENCIL YELLOW.
[Whooshing, upbeat music plays]
They paint the pencil.
Bec asks, SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU'RE OLDER?
Kyron says, WELL, I DO WANT TO BE AN ARCHITECT.
Bec says, WHOA!
Kyron says, I PROBABLY WANT TO DESIGN THE TALLEST GLASS BUILDING.
Bec says, THAT'S A GOOD GOAL! YOU HAVE TO MAKE ONE OUT OF PAPIER MÂCHÉ FIRST.
Kyron says, YEAH.
Bec says, YEAH.
Kyron paints the eraser pink while Bec paints the sharpened pencil beige.
Bec says, ARCHITECTS USE PENCILS A LOT, AS WELL, DON'T THEY?
Kyron says, YEP.
Bec asks, WOULD YOU WEAR THIS TO YOUR FIRST JOB?
[Needle scratching a record, Bec laughing]
Kyron stops moving.
Bec says, ONCE IT'S PAINTED, WE'LL LET IT DRY, AND THEN WE'LL ADD THE DETAILS.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Kyron and Bec stand by the headphones on the bowl.
Bec says, IT'S DRY!
[Upbeat music plays]
Kyron says, YAY!
Bec says, YEAH! I'M GOING TO ADD SOME FINAL DETAILS WITH BLACK PEN. I'M JUST GOING OVER THE OUTLINE HERE.
[Pen scratching]
Bec outlines the different sections of the pencil.
Bec says, ALMOST DONE. JUST OUTLINING THE ARCHES.
Singers sing, HEY, HEY, HEY.
Bec says, AND THE TIP ON MY PENCIL.
[Cap clicking]
Bec draws on the tip of the pencil with her black pen. Bec puts the cap on her pen.
Bec says, DONE! THERE ARE YOUR PENCIL HEADPHONES. WANT TO TRY THEM OUT?
[Bec laughing]
Kyron puts on the headphones.
Bec says, LOOKING GOOD!
[Wobbling]
Kyron shakes his head.
Kyron says, JUST GO LIKE THIS.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays, Rio and Natalia laughing]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Kyron sits on the couch between Rio and Natalia. He wears his pencil headphones and uses a tablet as his siblings stare at him.
Kyron says, THANKS, BEC! YOU TRANSFORMED MY OLD HEADPHONES. THEY'RE VERY FUNNY AND WORK GREAT.
Bec says, YOU'RE WELCOME, KYRON! YOU ROCK!
[Rock music plays]
Bec puts the order in a blue tray.
Bec says, ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER.
Bec dances.
Bec says, AWW, YEAH! ROCKING IT OUT—
[Flatulence tooting]
Bec sits on a stool and jumps up again.
Bec says, WHOA! THAT WAS WEIRD.
[Flatulence tooting, shoes clunking]
Bec sits on the stool and quickly stands.
Bec says, HONESTLY, I'M NOT THAT WINDY!
[Upbeat music plays]
A whoopee cushion sticks to the back of Bec’s apron. Bec shakes her fist.
Bec says, PRANKSKI! TIME FOR SOME PAPER PUPPETRY.
[Whooshing, zooming]
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
[Upbeat music plays]
Bec stands beside a drawing of a clown on an easel. Green tissue paper sticks out of the clown’s nose. Bec scrunches her face and pulls the green tissue. A long string of different coloured tissue paper tied together comes out of the nose.
[Whooshing, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paper rolls across a yellow background. In live action, Bec hangs a net over her counter.
Bec says, I NEED THESE PRACTICAL JOKES TO STOP, SO I'VE SET UP THIS INGENIOUS NET TRAP TO CATCH THAT PESKY PRANKSTER.
[Maniacal laughing, thunder crashing]
Bec says, BUT FIRST, I'LL MAKE A MINI MAKE.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec sits at a small table. She has an empty glass bowl, a whisk, small bottles, and four paper cups.
Bec says, I'M GOING TO MAKE AN ICE LOLLY BATH BLITZER. I'VE GOT EQUAL PARTS BICARBONATE OF SODA AND CREAM OF TARTAR. JUST GOING TO POP THEM INTO THE BOWL.
[Rustling, cups tapping, water splashing]
Bec pours the two powders into the bowl. She adds water.
Bec says, AND A LITTLE DASH OF WATER. THEN A TINY DASH OF FOOD COLOURING. I ONLY NEED A LITTLE BIT.
Bec adds red food colouring.
Bec says, AND TO MAKE IT SMELL NICE, I'M ADDING A FEW DROPS OF LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL.
[Clanking]
Bec shakes the lavender oil bottle over the bowl.
Bec says, OH, SMELLS LOVELY. AND FINALLY, FOR MY ICE LOLLY'S SPRINKLES, I'M GOING TO ADD SOME DRIED LAVENDER AS WELL.
[Lavender rattling, clanking]
Bec adds dried lavender to the bowl. Bec stirs the contents of the bowl with the whisk.
Bec continues, NOW, START MIXING! I WANT THIS TO HAVE THE CONSISTENCY OF WET SAND SO I'M GOING TO ADD A TINY BIT MORE WATER.
[Clanking, water splashing, whooshing]
Bec adds water and stirs.
Bec says, THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. ONCE IT'S GOT A NICE CRUMBLY TEXTURE, WE CAN START PACKING IT INTO A MOULD.
[Upbeat music plays]
Bec scoops the mixture into a cup.
Bec says, I'M USING A RECYCLED PAPER CUP. JUST SCOOPING IT IN. PACK IT DOWN NICE AND TIGHT. WE WANT IT TO BE REALLY CONDENSED.
Bec pushes down on the mixture and adds more to the cup. She fills the cup to the top and pushes an ice lolly stick into the middle.
Bec says, LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I'LL ADD AN ICE LOLLY STICK. I'LL LEAVE THAT ASIDE TO DRY. AND HERE'S ONE THAT IS READY. I'M GOING TO TAKE IT OUT. CAREFUL.
[Scraping]
Bec slowly slides the bath blitzer out of the cup.
Bec says, AND THERE IS YOUR ICE LOLLY BATH BLITZER. LET'S TEST IT OUT. HERE WE GO!
[Upbeat music plays, fizzing]
Bec walks to a large bowl of water on the counter and stirs it with the bath blitzer. Foam and dried lavender cover the surface of the water.
Bec says, I CAN'T WAIT FOR A BATH!
[Slide whistle, splattering, playful music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, a large doughnut lies on a napkin on a plate on a table.
Bec says, OH, HELLO. WHAT'S THIS!
Bec reads, "DEAR BEC, I'M SORRY FOR PLAYING SO MANY PRACTICAL JOKES ON YOU TODAY. TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU, PLEASE ACCEPT THIS JAM DOUGHNUT. I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE THEM. ALL THE BEST, PRANKSKI.”
Bec says, THAT'S SO NICE! AWW, I FORGIVE YOU, PRANKSKI. WHEREVER YOU ARE.
[Chomping, screaming]
Bec bites the doughnut.
Bec reads, "P.S., I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE EXTRA HOT CHILI JAM"?!
Bec says, PRANKSKI!
[Chiming, whooshing]
The screen on the wall activates.
Bec says, A CUSTOMER!
[Glugging, squeaking]
Bec drinks from a milk jug, then wipes her mouth with her hand.
Bec says, AHH.
On the screen, a boy with short blond hair wears a red T-shirt with a camouflage print.
The blond-haired boy says, IT'S THE MAKE OF THE DAY. I'M BLAKE, AND I'M FROM HALIFAX.
Bec says, HI, BLAKE!
The blond-haired boy, Blake, asks, WHAT CAN YOU MAKE OUT OF THESE THREE INGREDIENTS--
[Whirring]
On the conveyor belt, the ingredients move past Bec as Blake lists them.
Blake says, A RECYCLED PLASTIC POT, TIN FOIL, AND BROWN TISSUE PAPER.
Bec says, OH, THESE ARE GOOD INGREDIENTS, BLAKE. I NEED TO FIND OUT A BIT MORE ABOUT YOU, THOUGH. TELL ME, WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE EMOJI?
Blake says, MY FAVOURITE EMOJI IS THE POO EMOJI, BECAUSE WHEN I SEND IT TO MY FRIENDS, IT ALWAYS MAKES THEM LAUGH.
Bec says, OH, ME TOO! IN FACT, THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA. ONE MAKE OF THE DAY COMING RIGHT UP!
[Whooshing]
Bec walks to the other end of the counter to paper, the three ingredients, water, and bowls.
Bec says, I'M GOING TO MAKE A POO POT WITH BLAKE'S INGREDIENTS.
[Fanfare plays, cheering, applause]
A photograph shows the finished project, featuring green grass surrounding the pot and a brown swirl with two eyes at the top.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec stands at the counter.
Bec says, I'M STARTING WITH BLAKE'S FIRST INGREDIENT, THE RECYCLED POT.
[Clunking, marker scratching]
Bec puts down the bottom of the clear plastic pot and puts the lid on a square of brown cardboard. She traces the round lid with a black marker.
Bec says, AND USING THE LID. I'VE GOT A PIECE OF CARDBOARD. I'M JUST GOING TO TRACE AROUND IT.
[Scissors snipping]
Bec draws a swirl in the circle on the cardboard. She cuts along the line with scissors.
Bec says, AND THEN I'M GOING TO DO A SWIRL. THEN I'LL CUT IT OUT. WATCH YOUR FINGERS. IF IT GETS TOUGH, ASK AN ADULT TO HELP YOU. OH, IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A SWIRLY POO ALREADY. NEXT, I'LL TAKE BLAKE'S SECOND INGREDIENT, THE TIN FOIL. AND I'M GOING TO WRAP IT AROUND THE SWIRL.
[Tinfoil crinkling, whooshing]
Bec wraps the tinfoil around the swirl.
Bec says, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE TOO TIGHT. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO MOULD IT LATER. TIN FOIL IS GREAT, BECAUSE IT'S REALLY EASY TO MOULD. KEEP ADDING TO BUILD UP THE SWIRL.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec holds the tinfoil-wrapped swirl. She spreads glue on the top of the lid and attaches the swirl.
Bec says, THERE WE GO! A LOVELY POO SHAPE. THEN STICK THE POO SHAPE ONTO THE LID WITH SOME STRONG GLUE. NEXT, I'M GOING TO PAPIER MÂCHÉ THE POT USING BLAKE'S THIRD INGREDIENT, THE BROWN TISSUE PAPER. I'M USING P.V.A., A LITTLE BIT OF WATER MIXED IN SO THAT IT DOESN'T GET TOO STICKY.
Bec spreads glue on the swirl and pastes on a strip of tissue. She dips the next strip directly in the glue and attaches it to the swirl.
Bec says, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE A BRUSH, YOU CAN GET YOUR FINGERS STICKY. MAKE SURE YOU LAY DOWN SOME NEWSPAPER FIRST. I AM PAPIER MÂCHÉ-ING UP TO THE EDGE OF THE LID SO I CAN STILL FIT IT OVER THE POT.
Bec brushes the swirl with the paintbrush.
Bec says, I'M USING THE PAINT BRUSH TO PUSH THE TISSUE PAPER INTO THE CREASES. I'M GOING TO FINISH DOING THIS AND THEN I'LL DO THE POT.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec puts the swirl and lid on the table. She picks up a large glass bowl, a container of water, and a container with a white powder.
Bec says, THERE WE GO. NOW I'LL PUT THAT ASIDE TO DRY WHILE I MAKE THE SLIME! GOT MY MIXING BOWL, AND I'VE GOT TWO PARTS CORN FLOUR AND ONE PART WATER. GOING TO TIP THE CORN FLOUR IN. MAKE SURE YOU PUT DOWN SOME NEWSPAPER FIRST. AND AS I JUST PUT IN A LITTLE BIT OF WATER AT A TIME, START MIXING.
[Water splashing]
Bec stirs the corn starch and repeatedly adds a bit of water. She kneads the corn flour with her hands
Bec says, TIME TO GET MY FINGERS MESSY. CORN FLOUR IS GREAT BECAUSE IT GIVES IT THIS REALLY WEIRD CONSISTENCY. SEE, IT'S ALREADY GETTING REALLY SLIMY! BLECH!
Corn flour drips off Bec’s fingers. She adds drops of brown food colouring to the slime mixture.
Bec says, I'M GOING TO ADD SOME BROWN FOOD COLOURING. A FEW DRIPS. MIX IT IN. IT'S THICKENING UP. THIS SLIME IS MAGIC AND CAN BE A LIQUID AND A SOLID. I'LL GIVE MY HANDS A WASH AND PUT THIS IN THE POT.
[Slide whistle, splattering, tapping]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec has the pot of slime and the brown swirl on the table in front of her. Bec taps the surface of the slime.
Bec says, THE SLIME IS IN THE POT. AND I'M GOING TO ADD SOME FINAL TOUCHES.
[Upbeat music plays]
Bec attaches the green grass paper to the bottom of the pot and attaches two eyes to the brown swirl.
Bec says, I'VE GOT A STRIP OF GREEN PAPER THAT I'VE CUT OUT TO LOOK LIKE GRASS. I'VE GOT TWO EYES I'VE MADE OUT OF CARD. AND FINALLY, I'M ADDING A LITTLE FLY THAT I MADE WITH SOME PIPE CLEANER AND TRACING PAPER. AND THERE IS YOUR POO POT.
Bec attaches a small black fly to the top of the swirl.
Bec says, WHILE I PACKAGE THIS UP FOR BLAKE, HERE'S SOME OTHER SLIME POTS YOU CAN MAKE.
[Whooshing, scissors snipping, whooshing, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, scissors cut across a yellow screen. Photographs show a toadstool pot with an indigo top with orange polka dots, and a pink cupcake with sprinkles and a cherry on top.
Bec asks, HOW ABOUT A MUSHY MUSHROOM SLIME POT? OR A CHEEKY CHERRY CUPCAKE?
[Rustling, chiming]
Bec puts a blue bag in a slot on the wall and pushes a button.
Bec says, ONE MAKE OF THE DAY COMING RIGHT UP!
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Blake holds the pot.
Blake says, THANKS SO MUCH FOR MY POO POT, BEC. IT'S GREAT! EW...
[Blake giggling]
Blake puts his hand in the slime, and it drips off his fingers.
Blake says, THERE'S SLIME! MY FRIENDS WILL LOVE THIS.
In Makeaway Takeaway, Bec says, ANOTHER HAPPY CUSTOMER.
[Whooshing, zooming]
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
Bec says, UH...
[Humming, gasping]
Bec packs a hot sauce bottle, a jar, the whoopee cushion, and a piece of paper into a box.
Bec says, OH, YOU CAUGHT ME RED-HANDED! LITERALLY.
[Alarm blaring]
Bec holds up her red-stained hands and waggles her fingers.
Bec says, THAT'S RIGHT, I AM PRANKSKI. IT WAS ME ALL ALONG.
[Crowd gasping, tense music plays]
Bec says, I KNEW IF EVERYONE ELSE GOT PRANKED EXCEPT FOR ME, IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS WHO THE PRANKSTER WAS. BUT I GUESS THE REIGN OF THIS PRACTICAL JOKER IS FINALLY OVER.
[Whooshing]
The net falls on Bec.
Bec says, AWW, I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!
[Banana phone ringing]
Bec says, THE BANANA PHONE!
[Net rustling, beeping]
Bec pushes the net up off her face and answers the banana phone.
Bec says, HELLO, MAKEAWAY TAKEAWAY.
[Whooshing, background chatter, birds chirping]
On a split screen, a boy with short, dark brown hair speaks into a cellphone. He wears a dark blue shirt.
The brown-haired boy says, HI, BEC. IT'S JASPER HERE. CAN YOU DELIVER AN ARTY SURPRISE FOR HELEN HERE AT CHESSINGTON ZOO?
The split screen disappears.
In Makeaway Takeaway, Bec says, SOUNDS WILD! I'M ON MY WAY!
[Beeping, clattering, slide whistle]
Bec ends the call and hangs up the banana phone.
[Whooshing, zooming]
Title: “Makeaway Takeaway.”
[Upbeat music plays, monkeys chittering, tiger snorting]
At the zoo, Bec stands beside a sign that reads, “Chessington World of Adventures Resort.” She stands in a lookout tower with zebras grazing below. The squirrel monkeys climb on a rope course. Bec stands beside an enclosure with her hands on her hips, and a tiger walks to the fence and stares at her. The tiger sits and licks their lips. At another enclosure, a zoo worker with long blonde hair pulled away from her face stands with three boys and a girl.
The blonde-haired zoo worker says, OUR ASIAN SHORT-CLAWED OTTERS, THEY ARE VULNERABLE, SO THEY ARE THREATENED OUT IN THE WILD BY THINGS LIKE WATER POLLUTION AND HABITAT LOSS. THEY WILL USE ALL OF THIS WATER AREA. THEY ARE SEARCHING IN THOSE RIVERS FOR FISH, FOR SEAFOOD, THINGS LIKE SHRIMP...
[Otter squeaking]
Everyone gathers around a window in the enclosure and looks down. Bec appears behind the zoo worker and gestures at the brown-haired boy, Jasper, and at a blond-haired boy. They follow her.
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays, birds chirping]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, Bec and the two boys sit cross-legged on the grass.
Bec says, HI, JASPER, HI, AIDEN!
The blond-haired boy, Aiden, says, HI, BEC, IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.
[Background children shouting, birds chirping]
Bec says, NICE TO MEET YOU TOO! SO, YOU WANT ME TO MAKE SOMETHING ARTY FOR THE EDUCATION OFFICER HERE, HELEN?
Jasper says, YEAH.
Bec says, YEAH? WHY IS THAT?
In an enclosure, the blonde-haired zoo employee, Helen, feeds some goats.
Jasper says, WELL, SHE MAKES EVERY VISIT SO MUCH FUN.
Aiden says, SHE ALSO IS THE CHESSINGTON CONSERVATION FUND OFFICER.
Bec asks, WHAT DO THEY DO?
Aiden says, THEY HELP ENDANGERED SPECIES AROUND THE PLANET.
Bec says, OH, THAT'S LOVELY! WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE ANIMAL TO SEE HERE?
Jasper says, TIGER.
Bec says, OH, A TIGER. LOVE A TIGER.
Aiden says, MINE IS A SHARK.
Bec says, OH!
Aiden says, YOU SEE THEM IN THE SEA LIFE.
Jasper says, I ALSO LIKE MONKEYS, THEY'RE A LOT LIKE MY SISTER.
[Upbeat music plays]
Bec says, OH, NICE! OH, ACTUALLY, YOU'VE GIVEN ME AN IDEA. SOMETHING THAT WILL INVOLVE A LOT OF MONKEYING AROUND.
The boys say, LET'S GO!
[Squeaking, rope rattling, mellow music plays, carrot crunching, carrots thumping]
In the squirrel monkey enclosure, a monkey runs on a rope. Monkeys leap from rope to rope. Helen brings a box of vegetables to the enclosure and gives it to Jasper and Aiden. They take the box to Bec at a table, and she provides them vegetable peelers. A second zoo employee with her hair in a bun feeds a carrot to a donkey. Aiden holds out an empty bowl, and she puts a handful of carrots in the bowl. At the table, Bec, Jasper, Aiden, and the other children peel and chop vegetables.
Singers sing, YEAH, YEAH. WHOA, WHOA. YEAH, YEAH. WHOA, WHOA. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. YEAH, YEAH.
[Whooshing, slide whistle, flapping, background children shouting, upbeat music plays, squeaking]
The children lay lettuce leaves along the bottom of the table. Bec fans herself with two lettuce leaves. They create flowers by laying eggplants and halved peppers in circles like petals.
Bec says, THERE! SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Aiden says, WHOA, IT'S AMAZING!
Bec says, SHOULD WE GET HELEN?
The children say, YEAH!
Bec says, GO!
A girl with long brown hair says, HAVE A LOOK.
[Upbeat music plays]
Helen’s eyes widen. A picture made of sliced vegetables shows the sun setting behind vines and branches.
Helen says, OH MY GOODNESS. THIS IS INCREDIBLE! THERE'S SO MANY VEGGIES ON HERE.
Jasper says, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE TO HELP CONSERVE THE ANIMALS ON THIS PLANET.
Aiden says, YOU'VE TAUGHT US SO MUCH, SO WE MADE THIS JUST FOR YOU.
A short-haired boy says, AND THE SQUIRREL MONKEYS.
Helen says, WELL, I AM SURE THE SQUIRREL MONKEYS ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS JUST AS MUCH AS I DO.
Bec says, TIME TO GIVE THIS TO OUR MONKEY FRIENDS!
[Everyone cheering]
[Slide whistle, splattering, upbeat music plays]
In an animation, paint splatters. In live action, the squirrel monkeys run to the vegetable picture. They eat vegetables on the table and on the ropes.
The singers sing, YEAH, YEAH. WHOA, WHOA. YEAH, YEAH. WHOA, WHOA.
Bec says, WELL, THE MONKEYS SEEM TO BE ENJOYING IT.
Helen says, THEY CERTAINLY ARE!
Bec says, THAT'S BEEN ANOTHER BRILLIANT DAY OF DELIVERING ART TO YOUR DOOR. SEE YOU NEXT TIME ON...
Everyone shouts, MAKEAWAY TAKEAWAY!
The singers sing, YEAH, YEAH.
[Birds chirping, upbeat music plays]
A squirrel monkey eats a leek. Another squirrel monkey stands on the table and eats.
[Doorbell ringing, energetic music plays, whistling]
