(theme music plays)

Two puppets, a boy named Howie and his monkey named Baboo, sit on the grass and watch a bee fly over a flower. They watch the sky change from day to night. Then they fly to space in a rocket. They rotate their heads as they watch clothes spin in a dryer. Then they watch a snail crawl on a big leaf and then they stand outside in the rain sheltered by an umbrella. The sky turns sunny again and a rainbow appears as Howie and Baboo take a hot air balloon ride.

The title of the show reads "Now you know."

The name of the episode reads "What happens to recycling after it's picked up?"

Howie works on a robot in a gloomy cell. Baboo stands next to him.

Howie says ONE MORE CONNECTION,
AND IT'S... READY.
AT LAST, A ROBOT
THAT CAN ANSWER
ANY QUESTION
IN THE WORLD.
(evil laugh)
BEHOLD,
THE QUESTIONATOR.

Baboo says OOH.

Howie says QUICKLY,
TO THE CONSOLE.
Baboo says OKAY.

Howie says NOW, ACTIVATE
THE 'FRABBISTAT'.

Baboo says WHAT?

Howie says PUSH THE RED BUTTON.

Baboo approaches a machine and says OH, OKAY.

Howie says SOON, WE WILL HAVE
KNOWLEDGE LIKE NEVER BEFORE.
NOW, WE JUST NEED TO
THINK OF A QUESTION.

Baboo says HMM.

Howie gasps and says I HAVE IT!
QUESTIONATOR,
WHY IS THE SKY BLUE?

Baboo says GOOD ONE.

Questionator says BECAUSE IT IS
MADE OF CHEESE.
IT IS MADE OF CHEESE.

Howie CHEESE?

Questionator says IT IS
MADE OF CHEESE.

Howie grabs his head and says NO, IT'S NOT...

Questionator says IT IS
MADE OF CHEESE.

Howie OH, MAN.

In off, Howie's mom says HOWIE?

Howie says YEAH, MOM?

The cell turns into a kitchen.

Howie's mom says WHERE DID
ALL THE RECYCLING GO?

Howie says I'M USING IT!
FOR AN EXPERIMENT.

Howie's mom says JUST MAKE SURE
YOU PUT IT BACK
IN THE RECYCLING BIN.
THE TRUCK
PICKS IT UP TODAY.

Howie says OKAY, MOM!
COME WITH ME.

Howie grabs the Questionator, which is made of garbage.

(grunts)
In the yard, Howie says SO LONG,
QUESTIONATOR.
DO YOU EVER WONDER WHERE
ALL THE RECYCLING GOES
AFTER IT'S PICKED
UP, BABOO?

Baboo says YES.

Howie says ARE YOU THINKING
WHAT I'M THINKING?

Baboo says YEAH.
Howie says TIME TO PUT OUT
A QUESTION ALERT.

Howie hits his watch. A question mark appears.

Howie says TO THE SECRET
HEADQUARTERS!

(gibberish)
(evil laugh)

At the tree house, Howie sits at the computer and says LET'S SEE WHO'S ANSWERED
THE QUESTION ALERT, BABOO.

Children appear on a split screen and say HI HOWIE. HI BABOO.

Howie says HI THERE,
QUESTIONEERS,
THANKS FOR ANSWERING
THE QUESTION ALERT.
TODAY'S QUESTION IS,
WHAT HAPPENS TO RECYCLING
AFTER IT'S PICKED UP?

Girl 1 says THE GARBAGE MAN
COMES TO PICK IT UP.

Boy 1 says A GARBAGE TRUCK
COMES TO RECYCLE IT.

Girl 2 says RECYCLING IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU CAN USE, UM,
THAT YOU CAN RECYCLE AND THEN
YOU CAN USE IT OVER AGAIN.

Boy 2 says YOU'RE THROWING IT AWAY SO UM,
IT CAN BE MADE
INTO SOMETHING ELSE.

Girl 2 says IT GOES TO A PLACE WHERE
THEY MELT THE STUFF
AND THEN THEY TURN IT
INTO SOMETHING NEW.

Girl 3 says RECYCLING IS GOOD
FOR THE EARTH.

Howie says GREAT ANSWERS,
QUESTIONEERS.
HMM. I WONDER
IF THERE'S AN EXPERT
WHO CAN HELP US
ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

Baboo says ME TOO.

Derek pops up on the screen. He has short blond hair and wears a black jacket over a checked shirt.

Derek says HEY HOWIE,
HI THERE BABOO.

Howie says HEY LOOK, IT'S DEREK.
DEREK WORKS AT
THE RECYCLING PLANT.
HI, DEREK.

Derek says I HEAR YOU HAVE
A QUESTION ABOUT RECYCLING.

Howie says YEAH, WE WERE JUST
WONDERING WHERE IT GOES
AND WHAT HAPPENS TO IT.

Derek says THAT'S A REALLY
GREAT QUESTION,
AND THE BEST WAY TO ANSWER IT
IS TO SEE FOR YOURSELVES.
WHY DON'T YOU COME ON DOWN TO
THE RECYCLING SORTING FACILITY,
AND I'LL SHOW YOU.

Howie says WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
COME ON, BABOO.

Howie and Baboo meet Derek outside a plant.

Howie says HI, DEREK.

Wearing a safety vest, Derek says HI GUYS, WELCOME TO THE
RECYCLING SORTING FACILITY.
THIS WHERE WE RECYCLE
THE ITEMS
YOU PUT INTO
YOUR RECYCLING BIN.
THINGS LIKE PAPER,
PLASTIC, GLASS, METAL.

Howie says OH, COOL!
HOW DO YOU
DO THAT?

Derek says COME ON,
I'LL SHOW YOU.

Baboo says ALRIGHT!

Baboo and Howie wear safety helmets.

Howie says WOW.
OH, LOOK AT ALL
THOSE CONVEYOR BELTS.
HEY, AND THAT BIG MACHINE.
IT'S SMUSHING ALL KINDS
OF STUFF TOGETHER.

Baboo laughs.

Howie says HEY DEREK,
WHAT DOES RECYCLING MEAN?

Derek says IT MEANS TAKING SOMETHING
THAT'S BEEN USED
AND MAKING IT INTO
SOMETHING NEW.
THE MORE WE RECYCLE, THE LESS
GARBAGE GOES IN THE LANDFILL.
AND THAT'S A GOOD THING.

Howie says HA HA.

Baboo says YEAH!

Derek says HERE, WE SHAKE UP
AND SEPARATE ALL THE PAPER,
PLASTIC, METAL, GLASS
INTO DIFFERENT PILES.
THEN IT'S ALL SENT OUT AND
TURNED INTO NEW THINGS.

Howie says LIKE ROBOTS?

Derek says UM...
I GUESS IT COULD,
IN THE END.
THERE'S SO MANY WAYS
WE CAN REUSE OUR RECYCLING.
AN OLD NEW PAPER CAN BE
TURNED INTO EGG TRAYS.
A PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE
COULD GET TURNED INTO
CARPETING IN YOUR
HOUSE.
A SOUP CAN COULD BE MELTED DOWN
TO BECOME PART OF A BICYCLE.

Howie says OH, I GET IT.
WHY GET RID
OF SOMETHING,
WHEN YOU CAN MAKE IT
INTO SOMETHING NEW
AND USE IT AGAIN?

Baboo says YEAH.
Derek says EXACTLY.

Howie says THANKS FOR SHOWING US
AROUND, DEREK.

Derek says ANY TIME,
YOU TWO.

Howie turns to the camera and says HOW ABOUT
YOU?
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE
OUR RECYCLING GOES,
AND HOW IT'S TURNED
INTO OTHER THINGS?
GREAT! WELL,
NOW YOU KNOW.

Baboo says YEAH!

They sing a song that goes ASK, ASK, ASK,
ASK A QUESTION
FIND, FIND, FIND,
FIND AN ANSWER
NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW,
NOW, NOW YOU KNOW.
CONCLUSION.
ASK, ASK, ASK,
ASK A QUESTION
FIND, FIND, FIND,
FIND AN ANSWER
NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW,
NOW, NOW YOU KNOW.

Howie says NOW YOU KNOW!
AND REMEMBER,
YOU CAN'T GET AN ANSWER
UNLESS YOU ASK A QUESTION.
SO KEEP ASKING
QUESTIONS, 'KAY?
BABOO?
BABOO?
HUH, NOW WHERE DID
THAT LITTLE MONKEY GO?

Baboo stands by a conveyor belt.

Baboo says HEY!
HMM.
