The narrator says, THE MIGHTY
VEGESAURS.

Title, Vegesaurs. Created by Gary Eck and Nick O’Sullivan.

[Soft music plays]

Ginger walks through the forest with Wasabi, Minty and Split on her head. Big, green broccoli vegesaurs with long necks walk slowly through the forest.

[Vegesaur ocalizing]

Ginger says, WHOA.
THEY'RE SO... SO... BIG!

The ground shakes as the vegesaurs walk past Ginger. Dust billows from the ground.

Ginger wails, WHOA.

The narrator says, EVERY DAY, THE BROCCOLISAURUS
LEAVE THEIR HABITAT TO DRINK
FROM THE LAKE.

Ginger stumbles and falls. The Pea-Rexes fall off her.

The narrator says, THEY'RE ONE OF THE LARGEST
VEGESAURS AND ARE TRUE GENTLE
GIANTS.

Ginger watches the Broccolisaurus walk toward the lake.

Ginger says, WHOA!

She gets back on her feet. Minty nudges Wasabi and turns toward the Broccolisaurus. Wasabi nods.

[Minty and Wasabi chattering]

Wasabi says, UH-HUH.

The two Pea-Rexes start to follow the Broccolisaurus’s.

Ginger says, WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[Minty and Wasabi panting]

Ginger says, COME BACK!
YOU'LL BE SQUASHED!

Minty and Wasbi leap onto a Broccolisaurus’s tail. They hop through the broccoli heads on the Broccolisaurus’s back.

[Munching]

The narrator says, BROCCOLISAURUS ALLOW
PEA-REXES TO EXFOLIATE THEIR
SKIN, REMOVING ALL THE YUCKY
BITS.

Minty and Wasabi hop onto the Broccolisaurus’s head.

The narrator says, AND IN RETURN...

[Minty and Wasabi cheering gleefully]

Minty and Wasabi slide down the Broccolisaurus’s neck into the broccoli heads on the vegesaurs back.

[Minty and Wasabi munching]

[Broccolisaurus sighing happily]

Broccoli shavings fly off the Broccolisaurus’s back.

Ginger says, OH, I SEE!
YOU'RE GIVING THEM A TRIM.

Broccoli shavings sprinkle onto Ginger.

Ginger says, HEY!

Minty and Wasabi grin as they slide across the Broccolisaurus and down their tail.

[Minty and Wasabi cheering]

Brocolli shavings cover Ginger.

Ginger adds, AND GROSS.

She shakes off the broccoli.

[Pea-Rexes giggling]

Minty and Wasabi run past Split, who looks hesitant.

[Split chattering nervously]

Split watches Minty and Wasabi run happily up a Broccolisaurus’s tail.

[Split chattering sadly]

Ginger says, SPLIT, YOU DON'T WANT TO JOIN
IN?

[Split chattering sadly]

Split looks up at one of the giant Broccolisaurus nervously.

Ginger says, OH.
I'D BE SCARED, TOO.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST HANG HERE
WITH ME?

[Split chattering angrily]

Split stomps his foot.

Ginger says, YOU'RE ANGRY AT YOURSELF?

Split grunts, HMM.

Ginger says, AND FRUSTRATED.

[Split groaning angrily]

Ginger says, THEY'RE BIG FEELINGS FOR A
LITTLE PEA.

She helps Split onto her head.

She adds, I'M SURE IT'S NOT THAT MUCH FUN.

[Minty and Wasabi cheering in the distance]

Minty and Wasbi slide down a Broccolisaurus’s neck. They race through the broccoli on the vegesaurs back, riding the Broccolisaurus like a roller coaster. The two Pea-Rexes fly off the tail.

[Minty and Wasabi cheering]

Minty and Wasabi stumble across the ground to another, young, Broccolisaurus.

Ginger says, OKAY, IT'S THE MOST AMAZING FUN
I'VE EVER SEEN.

The young Broccolisaurus runs away from Minty and Wasabi. An adult Broccolisaurus lowers their head to the ground beside the two Pea-Rexes.

[Broccolisaurus vocalizing]

Ginger says, LOOK, THEY'RE NOT EVEN IN ANY
DANGER.

Split hides behind one of Ginger’s horns.

Ginger says, IT'S OKAY TO FEEL SCARED, SPLIT.
EVERYBODY FEELS SCARED
SOMETIMES.

[Split sniffling]

[Broccolisaurus vocalizing]

Ginger looks across the field at the younger, smaller Broccolisaurus.

She says, HMM.
WELL, THERE'S ONLY ONE THING FOR
IT.

In a field, the vegasaurs relax near a lake.

The narrator says, GINGER IS HOPING TO GET SPLIT
COMFORTABLE WITH A MUCH SMALLER
BROCCOLISAURUS TO START WITH.

Ginger runs across the field.

[Ginger giggling]

Ginger pops up from the tall grass in front of the young Broccolisaurus.

She says, HIYA.

She waves, then ducks back down into the grass.

[Young Broccolisaurus vocalizing curiously]

[Ginger laughing]

Ginger runs up a small hill.

She says, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!

She wiggles her tail.

[Ginger and young Broccolisaurus laughing]

The young Broccolisaurus follows Ginger up the hill.

Ginger and the young Broccolisaurus run alongside the lake.

The narrator says, THE YOUNG BROCCOLISAURUS
CAN'T RESIST THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PLAY.

[Ginger and young Broccolisaurus laughing]

Ginger follows the young Broccolisaurus through the grassy field.

She says, WAIT FOR ME!

[Ginger laughing]

Ginger and the young Broccolisaurus stop near the forest entrance.

Ginger says, NOW, THAT WAS FUN!

[Broccolisaurus laughing]

Ginger says, I'M GINGER, AND I'VE GOT A
FRIEND WHO'D LIKE TO MEET YOU.

[Young Broccolisaurus vocalizing curiously]

Split peaks out from Ginger’s tail. He looks scared.

[Split whimpering]

[Broccolisaurus whimpering]

The young Broccolisaurus runs and hides behind a bush.

[Young Broccolisaurus whimpering]

Split hops out of Ginger’s tail.

Ginger says, WAIT!
COME BACK!

The narrator says, BABY BROCCOLISAURUS CAN BE
TIMID AND HIGHLY OVER-REACTIVE.

[Young Broccolisaurus whimpering]

Ginger says, SEE, THE BABY BROC IS AS
SCARED OF YOU AS YOU ARE OF HER.

[Split chattering curiously]

Split scratches his chin thoughtfully. He takes a cautious step toward the Broccolisaurus. The Broccolisaurus steps out from behind the bush.

[Broccolisaurus vocalizing curiously]

Ginger says, AW, YOU'RE BOTH SO SWEET.
YOU WOULDN'T EVEN HURT AN
APPLEFLYUS.

She gently nudges Split toward the Broccolisaurus.

[Broccolisaurus vocalizing anxiously]

The Broccolisaurus shakes. Split takes a nervous step forward.

[Split chattering anxiously]

[Split sniffing]

Split and the Broccolisaurus slowly walk closer to each other.

Ginger says, YOU CAN DO IT!
YOU'RE DOING GREAT!

Minty and Wasabi join Ginger. Split and the young Broccolisaurus hesitantly move closer to each other.

[Broccolisaurus vocalizing nervously]

Ginger cheers, YES!
KEEP GOING!

[Broccolisaurus vocalizing]

[Split chattering]

The Broccolisaurus smiles and lowers her head down to Split. Split takes a nervous step back.

[Split chattering anxiously]

Split hesitantly walks up to the Broccolisaurus and hops onto her nose. He climbs onto her head and smiles.

[Split giggling]

[Ginger, Minty and Wasabi cheering]

Ginger cheers, WHOO-HOO!
YEAH!
GO, SPLIT!

[Split cheering]

[Broccolisaurus vocalizing happily]

The Broccolisaurus straightens her neck with Split on her head. She happily runs around in circles.

[Split cheering]

Spilt slides down the Broccolisaurus’s neck.

The narrator says, IT'S THE BABY
BROCCOLISAURUS'S FIRST HAIRCUT.

Split slides through the broccoli head on the Broccolisaurus’s back and down her tail. Split flies off the tail.

He cheers, WHEE!

Split starts to fall.

[Split wailing]

Split lands on another Broccolisaurus’s head.

The narrator says, IT SEEMS AN UNDERSTANDING HAS
BEEN REACHED BETWEEN THE
BROCCOLISAURUS AND THE BABY
PEA-REX.

Minty and Wasabi join Split.

[Pea-Rexes chattering]
