Transcript: The Other Martins
Music plays as the Wild Kratts logo pops up and a voice says Wild Kratts!
A globe spins and a picture of a forest appears highlighted.
A voice says WE'RE HERE IN NORTH AMERICA,
IN THE NORTHERN REACHES
OF THE EASTERN WOODLANDS.
Now the brothers walk in. Chris is in his thirties, with short brown hair. He wears a green t-shirt. Martin is in his thirties too. He has short brown hair and wears a blue t-shirt.
Chris says IT'S US, THE KRATT BROTHERS!
I'M CHRIS.
Martin says I'M MARTIN, AND TODAY WE'RE
DOING SOMETHING REALLY FUN.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR ANIMALS
NAMED MARTIN!
(LAUGHING)
Now, a logo of a zoo appears. It has a seal and the word zoo on an orange, brown and green background.
Chris says THERE'S A CREATURE WHO LIVES
HERE AT THE ECOMUSEUM.
A CREATURE YOU'VE
JUST GOT TO MEET.
Now a clip shows a small furry animal. Its fur is light brown in most of its body, and dark brow in the head and legs. It has short round ears and a short snout.
Chris says MEET THE PINE MARTEN.
Martin says WHAT A CREATURE.
FOR STARTERS, LOVE THE NAME;
PINE MARTEN.
Chris says AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN NAME IT.
Martin says I KNOW!
(LAUGHTER)
Martin says OH, SHE'S ON THE MOVE!
SUCH A GREAT CLIMBER.
OH, THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE
PINE MARTEN CREATURE POWER.
CLIMBING ABILITY.
HUH, CHRIS?
YOU IMPRESSED?
Chris says OH YEAH!
Martin says THEY NOT ONLY ARE GREAT AT
CLIMBING IN THE TREES,
THEY CLIMB AT FULL TILT,
AT FULL SPRINT.
THEY'RE RACING
THROUGH THE TREES,
CHASING AFTER THEIR FAVORITE
PREY, THE RED SQUIRREL,
WHO'S A GREAT CLIMBER ALSO.
THOSE RED SQUIRRELS
ARE TRYING TO GET AWAY.
THE PINE MARTEN
HAS TO BE FASTER.
Now, Martin has a pine marten on his shoulder.
Chris says MARTIN, I THINK
SHE LIKES YOU.
(LAUGHTER)
(GASP)
Chris says OH, SHE'S SNIFFING!
PINE MARTENS ARE ALWAYS ON
THE SCENT TRAIL OF THEIR PREY.
THEY USE THEIR NOSE FOR HUNTING.
Martin says SHE SNIFFED OUT YOUR HIKING
BOOTS PRETTY EASY, CHRIS.
(LAUGHTER)
Chris says HEY, I'M NOT SURE
WHICH MARTIN I LIKE BETTER.
THIS ONE OR MY BROTHER?
Martin says HEY!
OH, YOU'RE RIGHT, THE
PINE MARTEN'S WAY COOLER.
Chris says WOW!
THAT IS ONE COOL
CLIMBING CREATURE!
Martin says NAMED MARTIN, BY THE WAY, WITH
SOME AMAZING CREATURE POWERS.
Chris says NOBODY CAN RUN AROUND
THROUGH THE PINE TREES
LIKE A PINE MARTEN CAN.
Martin says YEAH, IMAGINE IF WE HAD
PINE MARTEN POWERS!
They both say WHAT IF!
The brothers jump and turn into cartoons. In animation, a paw print appears, followed by a map, and then the brothers swim under the sea and swing from jungle vines.
A song plays and says On adventure with the coolest creatures, from the oceans to the trees, the Brothers Kratt are going places you never get to see, hanging with their creature friends. Get ready, it's the hour, we're gonna save some animals today with Creature Power! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, wild!
Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z send them creature disks from Tortuga, the ship. The brothers place the disks in their suits and morph into superheroes with animal legs and wings. Then, they run, swim and fly with animals in the wild.
The song continues Cheetah speed and lizard glide, Falcon flight and lion pride, Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts. Go wild, wild, Wild Kratts!
The title appears: Wild Kratts. Today's episode is: The Other Martins.
The scenes opens showing Martin resting on a floating rubber mattress on a small pond. Chris climbs an apple tree. He falls over some apples on the ground.
(GRUNT)
Chris says WHOA!
AAH!
OW!
OH, APPLESAUCE.
YUCK.
(BUZZING)
A purple bird flies over Chris head.
Chris continues WHAT'S THAT?
(YELLING)
WHOA, HEY!
EASY, BUDDY!
OOF!
OH...
OH NO.
(STAMMERING)
OOF!
Chris enters into the Tortuga ship. Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z stand there. Aviva is brunette and has long wavy hair. She wears jeans and a yellow jacket. Koki has afro dark hair. She wears a burgundy t-shirt with a yellow star and yellow trousers. Jimmy Z has longish red hairs. He wears a gray t-shirt, burgundy shorts and a green cap.
Chris says OOH, THAT MARTIN
IS REALLY BUGGING ME!
Aviva says WHY?
WHAT DID HE DO?
Chris says WELL, WHEN I FELL OUT OF THE
TREE INTO A PILE OF OLD APPLES,
THE APPLES SMUSHED
INTO APPLESAUCE.
THE APPLESAUCE GOT ALL OVER MY
SHIRT WHICH ATTRACTED THE FLIES.
OOH, THAT MARTIN KEEPS
DIVE-BOMBING ME.
Aviva says I DON'T GET IT.
WHY WOULD MARTIN DO THAT?
They get out of the Tortuga and see Martin resting.
Jimmy says LOOKS LIKE HE'S JUST RELAXING.
Koki says AND HE ACTUALLY WHISTLES
PRETTY GOOD.
Chris says WHAT?
NO!
HE'S BUGGING ME!
COME ON, I'LL SHOW YOU!
WATCH.
(WHISTLING)
The bird appears again and flies over their heads.
They both say WHOA!
YIKES!
THAT'S WHY!
Chris says THAT MARTIN WANTS TO
CATCH THE FLIES,
AND HE KEEPS DIVE-BOMBING ME!
OOH!
WHOA, AND HE REALLY
CUTS IT CLOSE!
Koki, Aviva and Jimmy laugh.
Aviva says WE THOUGHT YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT YOUR BROTHER!
Koki says YEAH, BUT WHY ARE YOU CALLING
THAT SWALLOW-LIKE BIRD MARTIN?
Chris says BECAUSE THAT BIRD
IS CALLED A PURPLE MARTIN!
THE PURPLE MARTIN IS THE BIGGEST
SWALLOW IN NORTH AMERICA.
Martin appears and says DID SOMEONE SAY PURPLE MARTINS?
MY AVIAN NAMESAKE!
I LOVE PURPLE MARTINS.
THE ONLY THING THAT COULD
MAKE ME LOVE THEM MORE
IS IF THEY WERE CALLED
BLUE MARTINS!
Aviva says BUT I SEE WHY
THEY CALL THEM PURPLE.
LOOK AT ITS COLOUR.
IT'S SO PRETTY.
The bird flies towards them.
Chris says UH-OH, ANOTHER DIVE!
HIT THE DIRT!
WHOA, WHAT A PULL UP!
Koki says WHAT TURNING!
Jimmy says WISH I COULD DO THAT
WITH THE TURTLE SHIP.
Koki says YEAH, RIGHT!
Aviva says IT IS SUCH A FAST FLYING BIRD.
Chris says IT HAS TO BE IN ORDER TO CATCH
INSECTS OUT OF THE AIR.
Martin says PEREGRINE FALCONS ARE FAST,
HUMMINGBIRDS CAN HOVER,
BUT NOT MANY BIRDS CAN PULL OFF
THE HIGH SPEED AERIAL MANOEUVRES
OF MY BOY, THE PURPLE MARTIN.
Chris says YEAH, WHEN I LOOK AT IT
THAT WAY,
THAT MARTIN DOESN'T BUG ME
ANYMORE, NOT AT ALL!
Martin hugs Chris.
Chris says THANKS, BRO!
THIS ONE, SOMETIMES.
Martin says ARE YOU THINKING
WHAT I'M THINKING?
Chris says THAT YOU CAN
STOP HUGGING ME NOW?
Martin says NO, COME ON!
DON'T YOU WANT
PURPLE MARTIN POWERS!
Chris says YEAH, OF COURSE!
LOOK HOW HE MOVES.
I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO
GET UP THERE WITH HIM.
They all say WHOA!
Aviva says OKAY, HERE IT COMES.
Martin hugs Aviva’s leg and says OH PLEASE, MAKE ME
A PURPLE MARTIN SUIT!
Chris hugs the other leg and says YEAH, COME ON, PLEASE!
I'VE SEEN THE LIGHT,
THE PURPLE LIGHT!
Martin says YEAH, PLEASE, PURPLE PLEASE,
PURPLE PLEASE...
BOTH say PURPLE PLEASE!
Aviva says OKAY, OKAY!
AYE-YI-YI,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BEG.
WHY WOULDN'T I?
THESE BIRDS ARE AWESOME,
AND I LOVE THE SCIENCE
OF FLIGHT.
AERODYNAMICS,
WIND PRESSURE, LIFT.
IT'S LIKE AN AVIAN FIGHTER JET.
AND THESE BIRDS
HAVE GOT IT GOING ON!
GIVE ME SOME MORE OBSERVATIONS.
Aviva sets her mobile invention kit.
Koki says WINGS ARE FOR LIFT.
Jimmy says TAIL MOVES LIKE A RUDDER.
Chris says QUICK WINGS FLAPS TO GAIN SPEED.
Martin says TUCK WINGS FOR ROCKET SPEED.
Koki says SPREAD WINGS...
Jimmy says AND TAIL...
Chris says TO SLOW DOWN...
Martin says AND LAND...
They both say RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!
Koki says BROS, THAT'S NOT
THE PURPLE MARTIN.
Jimmy says IT'S NOT?
Koki says NO, IT'S NOT PURPLE,
IT'S BLACK.
Martin says BUT EVERY OTHER FEATURE
IS SCREAMING PURPLE MARTIN.
THE FACE, THE WINGS,
THE BEAK, THE TAIL FEATHERS.
Aviva says THAT'S IT!
THE FEATHERS.
I CAN EXPLAIN THIS ONE...
WITH THIS.
Aviva shows a light blue prism.
Jimmy says WITH A TRIANGLE?
Aviva says YEAH, JIMMY, IT'S A PRISM.
WATCH, SUNLIGHT IS MADE UP
OF DIFFERENT COLOURS.
WE CAN'T SEE THEM, BUT WHEN YOU
SHINE A LIGHT THROUGH THE PRISM,
IT'S REFRACTED,
MEANING IT SPLITS
AND YOU CAN SEE THE COLOURS,
LIKE A RAINBOW.
SOME BIRD FEATHERS
CAN DO THE SAME THING.
WHEN LITTLE OR NO LIGHT IS
REFLECTED, IT LOOKS BLACK.
BUT IF YOU MOVE OR MORE LIGHT
HITS THE FEATHERS,
IT'S REFRACTED
AND PRODUCES COLOUR!
All say WHOA!
Jimmy says THAT'S PRETTY PURPLISH.
Martin says HMM, I'M SEEING A LOT OF
BLUE IN THAT PURPLE.
Aviva says WELL, IF IT'S CALLED
A PURPLE MARTIN,
THE SUIT HAS TO BE PURPLE.
SORRY, NO BLUE OR GREEN TODAY.
They both say HUH?
Chris says IS SHE SERIOUS?
Martin says OR JUST KIDDING?
Aviva says LISTO!
Martin says AW, WHO CARES?
LET'S JUST...
They both say ACTIVATE PURPLE MARTIN POWERS!
They activate they creature disks and they morph into birds.
Chris says WOO-HOO!
WHOA, CHECK OUT THESE WINGS!
Martin says YEAH, THIS IS ONE SLICK SUIT.
AND... JET BLACK.
Chris says WHERE'S THE COLOUR?
Aviva says YOU'RE STANDING IN THE SHADE.
GET IN THE SUN.
Martin says YEAH, LET'S REFRACT SOME LIGHT
ON THIS MARTIN POWER SUIT.
Chris jumps into the light and says OH YEAH!
I'M GREEN!
A GREEN MARTIN.
WAIT A MINUTE, I'M GREEN.
AND SO I'M STILL
CHRIS... I THINK.
Martin says I'M BLUE!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
THIS IS EVEN BETTER
THAN A PURPLE MARTIN.
I'M A BLUE MARTIN!
Chris says UH, I'M A GREEN MARTIN?
OKAY, WAIT A SECOND,
I LIKE THE GREEN PART,
BUT I'M NOT SO SURE
ABOUT THE MARTIN PART.
Martin laughs and says FUNNY, BRO!
ANY COLOUR MARTIN'S
ARE AWESOME.
Chris says OKAY, BEING A MARTIN,
THIS IS GOING TO BE
ONE CONFUSING
CREATURE ADVENTURE.
Martin says PURPLE MARTINS ON THE MOVE!
Chris says WAIT UP, BRO!
Aviva says FOLLOW THOSE MARTINS!
Koki says TO THE HOVERBIKES!
Chris and Martin fly in their suits. The other follow them in their hoverbikes.
Martin says C'MON, CHRIS.
OH, I MEAN, GREEN MARTIN.
Chris says OH BOY, THIS IS GOING TO BE
A TOUGH CREATURE ADVENTURE.
Martin says COME ON, GREEN MARTIN!
Chris says LET'S STAY ON HIS TAIL.
AT LEAST THESE POWERS
ARE AWESOME!
They arrive to a river and several Purple martins fly over it.
Koki says WOW!
AMAZING!
LOOK AT ALL THE PURPLE MARTINS!
I THINK MAYBE THEY'RE
CATCHING BUGS OVER THE RIVER.
Jimmy says WHERE ARE THE BROS!
Koki says LET'S SEE.
PURPLE...
BLUE... GREEN!
FOLLOW THAT PATTERN:
PURPLE, BLUE, GREEN.
All say PURPLE, BLUE, GREEN!
Martin says THIS IS THE PERFECT HUNTING
GROUNDS FOR THE PURPLE MARTIN.
Chris says INSECTS ARE HATCHING
OUT OF THE RIVER.
AND TODAY IT'S...
MAYFLIES!
A mayfly rests on the river. It’s an aquatic insect that looks like a butterfly. A purple martin flies over the mayfly and eats it.
Martin says WHOA!
OUT OF THE AIR!
Chris says OFF THE SURFACE!
Martin says HE TAKES A SIP OF WATER
TO WASH IT DOWN.
Chris says WOW!
OOF!
THESE POWERS ARE SO AWESOME,
YOU CAN'T HELP CATCHING INSECTS.
COOL!
Martin says THERE, I HEARD YOU!
YOU ADMITTED IT.
MARTIN POWERS ARE COOL.
Chris says YEAH, WELL, THE BIRD
MARTIN POWERS, I MEAN.
HEY, CHECK IT OUT.
WHY ARE THEY ALL GOING
OVER TO THE RIVERBANK?
Martin says LET'S FIND OUT.
They approach the river bank and see small holes where the purple martins rests.
Martin says IT'S A PURPLE MARTIN COLONY.
THIS IS RARE.
Chris says WHAT DO YOU MEAN RARE?
THERE'S SO MANY OF THEM!
Martin says WELL, YEAH, THEY'RE
COLONIAL NESTERS.
BUT IT'S VERY RARE
TO FIND THEM NESTING
IN NATURAL CAVITIES ANYMORE.
A clip is projected from Koki’s hoverbike into the air. It shows purple martin nests. They are white spheres hanging from tall posts.
Koki says CHECK IT OUT.
TODAY, PURPLE MARTINS
ON THE EAST COAST
ONLY NEST IN GOURDS AND HOUSES
PUT OUT FOR THEM BY PEOPLE.
Aviva says MARTIN'S RIGHT.
Jimmy says HE SHOULD BE; THEY'RE
TALKING ABOUT MARTINS.
Martin says WOW, PURPLE MARTINS ARE SO NICE.
LIKE MARTINS USUALLY ARE.
Chris says OH BOY, HERE WE GO.
Martin says LOOK HOW THEY ALL GET ALONG.
NESTING SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.
Chris says OH, LOOK.
ONE'S FEEDING
A MAYFLY TO A CHICK!
Martin says HE EATS JUST LIKE ME.
Martin gets closer to the nest with the chick.
Martin says HEY, LITTLE BUDDY.
OH, NAMING YOU IS GONNA BE EASY.
I'LL CALL YOU...
Chris says OH NO, DON'T DO IT, BROTHER!
Martin says WHY NOT?
IT'S PERFECT.
Chris says PLEASE, NO!
Martin says MARTIN JUNIOR!
Chris says HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS
CAN I TAKE?
Jimmy says I THINK THAT'S
A REALLY GOOD NAME.
Aviva says HMM, I WOULD'VE
PREFERRED MARTINITO!
Koki says HANG IN THERE, CHRIS.
The small martin hides.
Martin says HEY, MARTIN JUNIOR,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
Chris says THERE'S SOMETHING
HAPPENING OUTSIDE.
GUYS, CAN YOU FIND OUT
WHAT'S ALARMING THE COLONY?
They all look up the cliff using binoculars. They spot s small brown furry animal.
Aviva says THERE!
Jimmy says ON THE CLIFF.
Aviva says SOME KIND OF WEASEL!
Chris says YES, SOMETHING OTHER THAN
AN ANIMAL NAMED MARTIN!
YOU'RE RIGHT, THAT'S DEFINITELY
A MEMBER OF THE WEASEL FAMILY.
SOME KIND OF MUSTELID FOR SURE.
BUT WHAT KIND?
GOING IN FOR A CLOSER LOOK
TO GET AN IDEA.
A closer look on the animal shows it is a pine martin.
Chris says OH NO... NO...
PLEASE NO... ANYTHING BUT THAT!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
NO!
Aviva says WHAT'S WRONG, CHRIS?
Chris says IT'S A PINE MARTEN!
Martin says DID YOU SAY MARTIN?
Chris says OH BROTHER.
Aviva says WHAT?
ANOTHER ANIMAL CALLED MARTIN?
Martin says THIS IS MY LUCKY DAY!
HANGING OUT WITH THE OTHER
MARTINS OF THE CREATURE WORLD!
Chris says SOMETHING TELLS ME THIS IS
NOT GOING TO BE MY DAY.
Martin says COME ON, CHRIS!
AND NOW WE HAVE
A NEW CREATURE MISSION!
LET'S GO!
Chris says WELL, I CAN'T RESIST
A CREATURE MISSION!
Martin says OUR MISSION: FOLLOW THAT MARTEN
AND GET PINE MARTEN POWERS!
Chris says HEY, ANY CREATURE ADVENTURE
IS A GOOD CREATURE ADVENTURE.
SO WHY NOT?
SIGHTS SET ON PINE MARTEN.
I'M GOING IN.
The brothers start following the pine marten among the woods.
Martin says THAT A BOY, CHRIS!
WHOA, THAT WAS CLOSE!
Chris says HMM, WHERE'D HE GO?
DOING ANOTHER PASS!
HMM.
WHERE COULD HE BE?
HUH?
Chris stands on a brunch. A red squirrel appears and runs towards him.
Chris says WHOA!
OW!
HUH?
Chris does not longer wear the creature suit. The squirrel accidentally took it.
Chris says HEY, YOU ACCIDENTALLY PUT ON
MY CREATURE POWER VEST!
WAIT!
HEY SQUIRREL, WAIT!
WHAT?
YOU RAN INTO ME!
UH-OH.
OOF!
The pine marten appears. It runs towards Chris making him fall of the brunch.
(YELLING)
Chris says OOPS, MISSED THE BRANCH!
WELL, I'M GLAD THIS IS
A CLIMBING ADVENTURE.
HEY!
HEY, HEY SQUIRREL!
COME BACK WITH MY
CREATURE POWER VEST!
(YELLING)
Chris falls again. Martin flies towards him and catches him.
Martin says GOTCHA, BRO!
Chris says MARTIN, FORGET ABOUT ME!
YOU'VE GOT TO CATCH THAT
SQUIRREL AND GET
MY CREATURE POWER VEST BACK.
I WON'T BE ABLE TO ACTIVATE
ANY CREATURE POWERS WITHOUT IT.
Chris moans and says I'LL BE CREATURE POWERLESS
FOREVER!
Martin says IT'LL BE OKAY, BRO.
I'M GOING AFTER THAT SQUIRREL.
HEY GUYS, TAKE CARE OF CHRIS!
Chris says A SQUIRREL STOLE
MY CREATURE POWER VEST.
(SOBBING)
Jimmy says WOW, THIS IS NOT CHRIS'S DAY.
Aviva says WE SHOULD TAKE HIM BACK
TO THE MINIATURIZER.
Koki says AND GET HIM REAL SIZE.
Martin says THIS IS A ROUGH DAY
FOR MY BROTHER.
I'VE GOT TO GET HIS VEST BACK.
SO WHERE IS THAT
VEST-SNATCHING SQUIRREL?
HMM, THERE'S A PINE MARTEN,
BUT NO SQUIRREL.
SHE COULD BE ANYWHERE WITHIN
THIS CONIFEROUS FOREST.
THE BEST WAY TO FIND
THE SQUIRREL WEARING
CHRIS'S POWER VEST......IS TO USE PINE MARTEN POWERS.
RIGHT, AVIVA?
A clip is projected from Martin’s creature disk. Aviva appears.
Aviva says YOU'RE RIGHT.
TO HELP CHRIS, I'LL MAKE YOU
A PINE MARTEN POWER DISK.
Martin laughs and says WAHOO!
FIRST PURPLE MARTIN POWERS,
AND NOW PINE MARTEN POWERS.
OH, IS THIS MY BIRTHDAY!
Aviva says WELL, ENJOY IT, MARTINO!
AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT,
MAKE SOME OBSERVATIONS
OF THE PINE MARTEN.
Koki says AND GET CHRIS'S
CREATURE POWER VEST BACK.
Chris says OH, THIS IS THE WORST DAY EVER.
Aviva says AND PRONTO!
Martin says THAT'S A 10-4.
LOCKING IN ON PINE MARTEN.
Martin steps into a brunch next to the pine marten.
He says HEY, MARTEN.
CAN IT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS?
Back in Tortuga, Koki and Jimmy turns Chris back into his size.
Chris says OH BOY...
Koki says AW, CHEER UP, CHRIS!
Jimmy says YEAH, WHEN SOMETHING'S
NOT GOING YOUR WAY,
IT'S BEST TO TRY AND DO
SOMETHING TO MAKE IT BETTER.
Koki says YEAH, LIKE GET BACK OUT THERE
AND GET YOUR VEST BACK.
Chris says OKAY, BRR, OKAY.
SHAKE IT OFF.
YEAH!
I'M GONNA SAVE MY
CREATURE POWER VEST!
Aviva says I'LL COME TOO, AND I'LL BRING
MY MOBILE INVENTION KIT.
I CAN PROGRAM AS WE GO.
Chris sits on a hoverbike. Aviva climbs and sits with him.
Chris says ALL RIGHT, I'LL DRIVE!
Aviva says YEAH, THAT'S BETTER.
I SHOULDN'T REALLY
PROGRAM AND DRIVE.
Chris says LET'S MOTOR.
WE'VE GOT TO GET
MY CREATURE VEST BACK
FROM THAT SLIPPERY SQUIRREL.
Martin appears patting the pine marten. A baby pine marten appears.
Martin says AW, IT DOESN'T GET
ANY CUTER THAN THAT.
AWW!
Chris says HEY, MARTIN!
Martin says HEY GUYS, LOOK!
I JUST FOUND
A LITTLE PINE MARTEN,
AND I'M JUST THINKING
ABOUT WHAT TO CALL HIM.
AND I'M GONNA NAME YOU...
LIL' MARTY.
(GROANING)
Aviva says THAT'S CUTE, MARTIN.
BUT GIVE ME SOME OBSERVATIONS
I CAN USE FOR THE PROGRAMMING.
Martin says ON IT!
HMM, CLAWS FOR CLIMBING.
Aviva says CHECK!
Martin says HMM, WHAT ELSE?
(CHUCKLING)
LOOKS LIKE IT'S
PLAYTIME WITH MOM!
A LONG LEAN BODY THAT
MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE
A FURRY FOUR-LEGGED SNAKE
SLIDING LIGHTNING FAST
THROUGH THE TREES.
Aviva says CHECK!
Martin says WHOA, NICE LEAP!
THEIR BALANCE IS INCREDIBLE,
WHEN RUNNING ON BRANCHES AND
LEAPING FROM TREE TO TREE.
THAT BALANCE IS THE MAIN THING.
IT'S THE THING THAT MAKES IT
POSSIBLE FOR THE PINE MARTEN
TO CHASE HIS FAVOURITE PREY
WHO ARE ALSO GREAT AT
RUNNING THROUGH THE TREES:
SQUIRRELS!
CORNERING THEM IN THE TREES.
THAT'S HOW PINE MARTENS
CATCH RED SQUIRRELS.
Aviva says PINE MARTEN POWER DISC
IS COMPLETE!
Martin says OH, PERFECT TIMING!
ACTIVATE PINE MARTEN POWERS!
Martin activates the disk and turns into a pine marten.
Martin says WOW, PINE MARTEN POWERS
ARE AWESOME!
I FEEL LIKE
RUNNING THROUGH THE TREES.
Chris says AWW, I WANNA DO THAT!
(SNIFFING)
Martin says AND ANOTHER POWER
I DIDN'T EXPECT.
MY NOSE IS FINELY TUNED.
(SNIFFING)
I SMELL SQUIRRELS.
Chris says WELL, FOLLOW THAT NOSE
RIGHT TO THE SQUIRREL
WHO STOLE MY
CREATURE POWER VEST.
I NEED IT BACK!
Martin says YOU GOT IT, BRO!
(SNIFFING)
RED SQUIRREL THAT WAY!
Chris says OH, THIS IS NOT
A GOOD DAY FOR ME.
I LOSE MY CREATURE POWER VEST
ON A DAY WE'RE ADVENTURING
WITH THOSE CLIMBING POWERS!
Aviva says HANG IN THERE, CHRIS.
THE DAY ISN'T OVER YET.
Martin sees the squirrel and says HEH, STRANGE, HE KIND OF
REMINDS ME OF CHRIS.
OH, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING,
BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF
EXPERIENCE TACKLING MY BROTHER.
HEY, CHRIS!
YOUR VEST IS HEADING YOUR WAY!
Chris says ALL RIGHT!
COME ON VEST, RIGHT OVER HERE!
OH HO, YES.
GOTCHA!
The squirrel jumps into Chris helmet but then it gets underneath his clothes. Martin follows the squirrel.
Chris says HUH?
Martin says I'LL GET HIM!
AH, DON'T GO IN THERE!
Chris laughs and yells making the hoverbike shake.
Aviva says STEADY!
Chris says HUH?
AAH!
NO!
DON'T GO IN THERE!
STOP!
PLEASE STOP!
WAIT, MY VEST!
Chris jumps and falls in a pond.
Chris says UH-OH.
AWW, I'M THE CLIMBING BROTHER.
NOT THE SWIMMING BROTHER.
THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT MY DAY.
Aviva laughs and says COME ON, CHRIS.
HANG IN THERE.
DAY'S NOT OVER YET!
OKAY, NOW I'VE GOT YOU
Martin continues chasing the squirrel. It climbs a tree.
Martin says IN AN ISOLATED TREE.
I THINK THIS IS
THE END OF THE CHASE.
NO SQUIRREL CAN LEAP THAT FAR.
NOW THAT'S PINE MARTEN POWERS!
Martin takes back the vest and gives it to Chris.
Marin says HEY, CHRIS, BROTHER O' MINE.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND!
Chris says YES, MY VEST!
YOU'RE BACK!
MY CREATURE POWER VEST!
Now, both brothers are in the Tortuga. They both back to normal size. Martin holds a pine marten and a purple martin rests on his shoulder.
Chris says I'M NEVER TAKING YOU OFF AGAIN.
Martin says ALL RIGHT, STILL
A LITTLE DAYLIGHT LEFT.
COME ON, LET'S
GET BACK OUT THERE
AND ADVENTURE WITH
THE OTHER MARTINS.
Chris says THANKS, BUT I'VE
HAD ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY.
I'M JUST GOING TO
HOLD ONTO MY VEST,
GO INTO THE TORTUGA,
LIE DOWN,
AND THINK OF SOME ANIMALS
THAT HAVE CHRIS IN THEIR NAME.
HMMM, HIPPOPOTOCHRIS?
NOPE.
RHINOCOCHRIS?
NOPE.
Aviva chuckles and says WE'LL HELP CHRIS THINK OF
CHRIS ANIMALS TOMORROW.
Martin says BECAUSE ISN'T TODAY A DAY
FOR THE MARTINS OR WHAT?
MARTINING FREE AND IN THE WILD!
Now, the real life brothers appear.
Chris says SO, SUMMER IS HERE,
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
GREAT THINGS ABOUT SUMMER.
ONE OF THE BEST IS IT'S
PURPLE MARTIN NESTING SEASON.
Martin says AND WE'VE GOT A WHOLE COLONY
OF NESTING PURPLE MARTINS
RIGHT HERE!
The camera turns and shows a white martin nest.
Chris says AWESOME!
MALES AND FEMALES.
Martin says YEAH, THE MALES
ARE THE BLACK ONES
THAT WHEN THE SUN
HITS THEM JUST RIGHT,
THEY SHINE A BLUISH PURPLE.
THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CALLED
A PURPLE MARTIN.
WELL, THAT'S WHY
THEY'RE CALLED PURPLE,
BUT I'M STILL NOT SURE WHY
THEY'RE CALLED MARTIN.
BUT I LIKE IT!
Chris says THEY LIKE TO SIT AND
REST ON THEIR BALCONIES.
Martin says THEY DO.
LOOK, THERE'S A PAIR
RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER,
THE MALE AND THE FEMALE.
THEY'VE GOT A NEST OF EGGS,
OR MAYBE CHICKS ALREADY.
Chris says EACH PAIR OF PURPLE MARTINS
HAS IT'S OWN HOLE,
IT'S OWN NESTING CHAMBER
IN THE HOUSE.
Martin says AND THEY'RE WORKING TOGETHER
TO RAISE CHICKS.
IT'S A SHORT SUMMER SEASON, SO
THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY BUSY.
THEY'VE GOT TO FEED UP
THEIR HATCHLINGS
SO THAT THEY'RE READY TO FLY.
SO THEY'RE STRONG AND HEALTHY.
SO THEY CAN MAKE THEIR MIGRATION
SOUTH TO THE RAINFOREST,
TO THE AMAZON RAINFOREST WHICH
IS WHERE THEY SPEND THE WINTER.
PURPLE MARTINS
ARE CAVITY NESTERS.
THEY NEST IN HOLES.
SOMETIMES NATURAL HOLES, BUT
MORE AND MORE THEY LIKE TO LIVE
IN THE NEST BOXES THAT
HUMANS SET UP FOR THEM.
AND THEY HAVE TO BE NESTING
TOGETHER IN GROUPS.
THE MORE PURPLE MARTINS
THERE ARE,
THE MORE SUCCESSFUL THEIR
NESTING SEASON IS GOING TO BE.
WHOA, HERE THEY COME!
PURPLE MARTINS
FLYING ALL AROUND!
THAT IS AN AMAZING FLYING POWER!
Chris says PURPLE MARTINS
ARE MASTERFUL FLYERS.
THEY'RE BUILT FOR
HIGH SPEED TURNS AND DIVES.
THAT'S BECAUSE THEY CHASE
INSECTS ON THE WING.
THEY PICK THEM OFF
IN MID-FLIGHT,
SO THEY HAVE TO TURN QUICK
TO CATCH THEIR PREY.
SO PURPLE MARTINS ARE A BIRD
WITH SOME AMAZING
CREATURE POWERS.
WELL OF COURSE,
THEY ARE NAMED MARTIN.
They laugh.
Martin says HEY, KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR
THIS AMAZING PURPLE MARTIN
THIS SUMMER AND KEEP ON
CREATURE ADVENTURING!
Chris says WE'LL SEE YOU ON
THE CREATURE TRAIL!
Music plays as the end credits roll.
A globe spins and a picture of a forest appears highlighted.
A voice says WE'RE HERE IN NORTH AMERICA,
IN THE NORTHERN REACHES
OF THE EASTERN WOODLANDS.
Now the brothers walk in. Chris is in his thirties, with short brown hair. He wears a green t-shirt. Martin is in his thirties too. He has short brown hair and wears a blue t-shirt.
Chris says IT'S US, THE KRATT BROTHERS!
I'M CHRIS.
Martin says I'M MARTIN, AND TODAY WE'RE
DOING SOMETHING REALLY FUN.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR ANIMALS
NAMED MARTIN!
(LAUGHING)
Now, a logo of a zoo appears. It has a seal and the word zoo on an orange, brown and green background.
Chris says THERE'S A CREATURE WHO LIVES
HERE AT THE ECOMUSEUM.
A CREATURE YOU'VE
JUST GOT TO MEET.
Now a clip shows a small furry animal. Its fur is light brown in most of its body, and dark brow in the head and legs. It has short round ears and a short snout.
Chris says MEET THE PINE MARTEN.
Martin says WHAT A CREATURE.
FOR STARTERS, LOVE THE NAME;
PINE MARTEN.
Chris says AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN NAME IT.
Martin says I KNOW!
(LAUGHTER)
Martin says OH, SHE'S ON THE MOVE!
SUCH A GREAT CLIMBER.
OH, THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE
PINE MARTEN CREATURE POWER.
CLIMBING ABILITY.
HUH, CHRIS?
YOU IMPRESSED?
Chris says OH YEAH!
Martin says THEY NOT ONLY ARE GREAT AT
CLIMBING IN THE TREES,
THEY CLIMB AT FULL TILT,
AT FULL SPRINT.
THEY'RE RACING
THROUGH THE TREES,
CHASING AFTER THEIR FAVORITE
PREY, THE RED SQUIRREL,
WHO'S A GREAT CLIMBER ALSO.
THOSE RED SQUIRRELS
ARE TRYING TO GET AWAY.
THE PINE MARTEN
HAS TO BE FASTER.
Now, Martin has a pine marten on his shoulder.
Chris says MARTIN, I THINK
SHE LIKES YOU.
(LAUGHTER)
(GASP)
Chris says OH, SHE'S SNIFFING!
PINE MARTENS ARE ALWAYS ON
THE SCENT TRAIL OF THEIR PREY.
THEY USE THEIR NOSE FOR HUNTING.
Martin says SHE SNIFFED OUT YOUR HIKING
BOOTS PRETTY EASY, CHRIS.
(LAUGHTER)
Chris says HEY, I'M NOT SURE
WHICH MARTIN I LIKE BETTER.
THIS ONE OR MY BROTHER?
Martin says HEY!
OH, YOU'RE RIGHT, THE
PINE MARTEN'S WAY COOLER.
Chris says WOW!
THAT IS ONE COOL
CLIMBING CREATURE!
Martin says NAMED MARTIN, BY THE WAY, WITH
SOME AMAZING CREATURE POWERS.
Chris says NOBODY CAN RUN AROUND
THROUGH THE PINE TREES
LIKE A PINE MARTEN CAN.
Martin says YEAH, IMAGINE IF WE HAD
PINE MARTEN POWERS!
They both say WHAT IF!
The brothers jump and turn into cartoons. In animation, a paw print appears, followed by a map, and then the brothers swim under the sea and swing from jungle vines.
A song plays and says On adventure with the coolest creatures, from the oceans to the trees, the Brothers Kratt are going places you never get to see, hanging with their creature friends. Get ready, it's the hour, we're gonna save some animals today with Creature Power! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, wild!
Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z send them creature disks from Tortuga, the ship. The brothers place the disks in their suits and morph into superheroes with animal legs and wings. Then, they run, swim and fly with animals in the wild.
The song continues Cheetah speed and lizard glide, Falcon flight and lion pride, Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts! Gonna go wild, Wild Kratts, Gonna go wild, wild, Wild Kratts. Go wild, wild, Wild Kratts!
The title appears: Wild Kratts. Today's episode is: The Other Martins.
The scenes opens showing Martin resting on a floating rubber mattress on a small pond. Chris climbs an apple tree. He falls over some apples on the ground.
(GRUNT)
Chris says WHOA!
AAH!
OW!
OH, APPLESAUCE.
YUCK.
(BUZZING)
A purple bird flies over Chris head.
Chris continues WHAT'S THAT?
(YELLING)
WHOA, HEY!
EASY, BUDDY!
OOF!
OH...
OH NO.
(STAMMERING)
OOF!
Chris enters into the Tortuga ship. Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy Z stand there. Aviva is brunette and has long wavy hair. She wears jeans and a yellow jacket. Koki has afro dark hair. She wears a burgundy t-shirt with a yellow star and yellow trousers. Jimmy Z has longish red hairs. He wears a gray t-shirt, burgundy shorts and a green cap.
Chris says OOH, THAT MARTIN
IS REALLY BUGGING ME!
Aviva says WHY?
WHAT DID HE DO?
Chris says WELL, WHEN I FELL OUT OF THE
TREE INTO A PILE OF OLD APPLES,
THE APPLES SMUSHED
INTO APPLESAUCE.
THE APPLESAUCE GOT ALL OVER MY
SHIRT WHICH ATTRACTED THE FLIES.
OOH, THAT MARTIN KEEPS
DIVE-BOMBING ME.
Aviva says I DON'T GET IT.
WHY WOULD MARTIN DO THAT?
They get out of the Tortuga and see Martin resting.
Jimmy says LOOKS LIKE HE'S JUST RELAXING.
Koki says AND HE ACTUALLY WHISTLES
PRETTY GOOD.
Chris says WHAT?
NO!
HE'S BUGGING ME!
COME ON, I'LL SHOW YOU!
WATCH.
(WHISTLING)
The bird appears again and flies over their heads.
They both say WHOA!
YIKES!
THAT'S WHY!
Chris says THAT MARTIN WANTS TO
CATCH THE FLIES,
AND HE KEEPS DIVE-BOMBING ME!
OOH!
WHOA, AND HE REALLY
CUTS IT CLOSE!
Koki, Aviva and Jimmy laugh.
Aviva says WE THOUGHT YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT YOUR BROTHER!
Koki says YEAH, BUT WHY ARE YOU CALLING
THAT SWALLOW-LIKE BIRD MARTIN?
Chris says BECAUSE THAT BIRD
IS CALLED A PURPLE MARTIN!
THE PURPLE MARTIN IS THE BIGGEST
SWALLOW IN NORTH AMERICA.
Martin appears and says DID SOMEONE SAY PURPLE MARTINS?
MY AVIAN NAMESAKE!
I LOVE PURPLE MARTINS.
THE ONLY THING THAT COULD
MAKE ME LOVE THEM MORE
IS IF THEY WERE CALLED
BLUE MARTINS!
Aviva says BUT I SEE WHY
THEY CALL THEM PURPLE.
LOOK AT ITS COLOUR.
IT'S SO PRETTY.
The bird flies towards them.
Chris says UH-OH, ANOTHER DIVE!
HIT THE DIRT!
WHOA, WHAT A PULL UP!
Koki says WHAT TURNING!
Jimmy says WISH I COULD DO THAT
WITH THE TURTLE SHIP.
Koki says YEAH, RIGHT!
Aviva says IT IS SUCH A FAST FLYING BIRD.
Chris says IT HAS TO BE IN ORDER TO CATCH
INSECTS OUT OF THE AIR.
Martin says PEREGRINE FALCONS ARE FAST,
HUMMINGBIRDS CAN HOVER,
BUT NOT MANY BIRDS CAN PULL OFF
THE HIGH SPEED AERIAL MANOEUVRES
OF MY BOY, THE PURPLE MARTIN.
Chris says YEAH, WHEN I LOOK AT IT
THAT WAY,
THAT MARTIN DOESN'T BUG ME
ANYMORE, NOT AT ALL!
Martin hugs Chris.
Chris says THANKS, BRO!
THIS ONE, SOMETIMES.
Martin says ARE YOU THINKING
WHAT I'M THINKING?
Chris says THAT YOU CAN
STOP HUGGING ME NOW?
Martin says NO, COME ON!
DON'T YOU WANT
PURPLE MARTIN POWERS!
Chris says YEAH, OF COURSE!
LOOK HOW HE MOVES.
I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO
GET UP THERE WITH HIM.
They all say WHOA!
Aviva says OKAY, HERE IT COMES.
Martin hugs Aviva’s leg and says OH PLEASE, MAKE ME
A PURPLE MARTIN SUIT!
Chris hugs the other leg and says YEAH, COME ON, PLEASE!
I'VE SEEN THE LIGHT,
THE PURPLE LIGHT!
Martin says YEAH, PLEASE, PURPLE PLEASE,
PURPLE PLEASE...
BOTH say PURPLE PLEASE!
Aviva says OKAY, OKAY!
AYE-YI-YI,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BEG.
WHY WOULDN'T I?
THESE BIRDS ARE AWESOME,
AND I LOVE THE SCIENCE
OF FLIGHT.
AERODYNAMICS,
WIND PRESSURE, LIFT.
IT'S LIKE AN AVIAN FIGHTER JET.
AND THESE BIRDS
HAVE GOT IT GOING ON!
GIVE ME SOME MORE OBSERVATIONS.
Aviva sets her mobile invention kit.
Koki says WINGS ARE FOR LIFT.
Jimmy says TAIL MOVES LIKE A RUDDER.
Chris says QUICK WINGS FLAPS TO GAIN SPEED.
Martin says TUCK WINGS FOR ROCKET SPEED.
Koki says SPREAD WINGS...
Jimmy says AND TAIL...
Chris says TO SLOW DOWN...
Martin says AND LAND...
They both say RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!
Koki says BROS, THAT'S NOT
THE PURPLE MARTIN.
Jimmy says IT'S NOT?
Koki says NO, IT'S NOT PURPLE,
IT'S BLACK.
Martin says BUT EVERY OTHER FEATURE
IS SCREAMING PURPLE MARTIN.
THE FACE, THE WINGS,
THE BEAK, THE TAIL FEATHERS.
Aviva says THAT'S IT!
THE FEATHERS.
I CAN EXPLAIN THIS ONE...
WITH THIS.
Aviva shows a light blue prism.
Jimmy says WITH A TRIANGLE?
Aviva says YEAH, JIMMY, IT'S A PRISM.
WATCH, SUNLIGHT IS MADE UP
OF DIFFERENT COLOURS.
WE CAN'T SEE THEM, BUT WHEN YOU
SHINE A LIGHT THROUGH THE PRISM,
IT'S REFRACTED,
MEANING IT SPLITS
AND YOU CAN SEE THE COLOURS,
LIKE A RAINBOW.
SOME BIRD FEATHERS
CAN DO THE SAME THING.
WHEN LITTLE OR NO LIGHT IS
REFLECTED, IT LOOKS BLACK.
BUT IF YOU MOVE OR MORE LIGHT
HITS THE FEATHERS,
IT'S REFRACTED
AND PRODUCES COLOUR!
All say WHOA!
Jimmy says THAT'S PRETTY PURPLISH.
Martin says HMM, I'M SEEING A LOT OF
BLUE IN THAT PURPLE.
Aviva says WELL, IF IT'S CALLED
A PURPLE MARTIN,
THE SUIT HAS TO BE PURPLE.
SORRY, NO BLUE OR GREEN TODAY.
They both say HUH?
Chris says IS SHE SERIOUS?
Martin says OR JUST KIDDING?
Aviva says LISTO!
Martin says AW, WHO CARES?
LET'S JUST...
They both say ACTIVATE PURPLE MARTIN POWERS!
They activate they creature disks and they morph into birds.
Chris says WOO-HOO!
WHOA, CHECK OUT THESE WINGS!
Martin says YEAH, THIS IS ONE SLICK SUIT.
AND... JET BLACK.
Chris says WHERE'S THE COLOUR?
Aviva says YOU'RE STANDING IN THE SHADE.
GET IN THE SUN.
Martin says YEAH, LET'S REFRACT SOME LIGHT
ON THIS MARTIN POWER SUIT.
Chris jumps into the light and says OH YEAH!
I'M GREEN!
A GREEN MARTIN.
WAIT A MINUTE, I'M GREEN.
AND SO I'M STILL
CHRIS... I THINK.
Martin says I'M BLUE!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
THIS IS EVEN BETTER
THAN A PURPLE MARTIN.
I'M A BLUE MARTIN!
Chris says UH, I'M A GREEN MARTIN?
OKAY, WAIT A SECOND,
I LIKE THE GREEN PART,
BUT I'M NOT SO SURE
ABOUT THE MARTIN PART.
Martin laughs and says FUNNY, BRO!
ANY COLOUR MARTIN'S
ARE AWESOME.
Chris says OKAY, BEING A MARTIN,
THIS IS GOING TO BE
ONE CONFUSING
CREATURE ADVENTURE.
Martin says PURPLE MARTINS ON THE MOVE!
Chris says WAIT UP, BRO!
Aviva says FOLLOW THOSE MARTINS!
Koki says TO THE HOVERBIKES!
Chris and Martin fly in their suits. The other follow them in their hoverbikes.
Martin says C'MON, CHRIS.
OH, I MEAN, GREEN MARTIN.
Chris says OH BOY, THIS IS GOING TO BE
A TOUGH CREATURE ADVENTURE.
Martin says COME ON, GREEN MARTIN!
Chris says LET'S STAY ON HIS TAIL.
AT LEAST THESE POWERS
ARE AWESOME!
They arrive to a river and several Purple martins fly over it.
Koki says WOW!
AMAZING!
LOOK AT ALL THE PURPLE MARTINS!
I THINK MAYBE THEY'RE
CATCHING BUGS OVER THE RIVER.
Jimmy says WHERE ARE THE BROS!
Koki says LET'S SEE.
PURPLE...
BLUE... GREEN!
FOLLOW THAT PATTERN:
PURPLE, BLUE, GREEN.
All say PURPLE, BLUE, GREEN!
Martin says THIS IS THE PERFECT HUNTING
GROUNDS FOR THE PURPLE MARTIN.
Chris says INSECTS ARE HATCHING
OUT OF THE RIVER.
AND TODAY IT'S...
MAYFLIES!
A mayfly rests on the river. It’s an aquatic insect that looks like a butterfly. A purple martin flies over the mayfly and eats it.
Martin says WHOA!
OUT OF THE AIR!
Chris says OFF THE SURFACE!
Martin says HE TAKES A SIP OF WATER
TO WASH IT DOWN.
Chris says WOW!
OOF!
THESE POWERS ARE SO AWESOME,
YOU CAN'T HELP CATCHING INSECTS.
COOL!
Martin says THERE, I HEARD YOU!
YOU ADMITTED IT.
MARTIN POWERS ARE COOL.
Chris says YEAH, WELL, THE BIRD
MARTIN POWERS, I MEAN.
HEY, CHECK IT OUT.
WHY ARE THEY ALL GOING
OVER TO THE RIVERBANK?
Martin says LET'S FIND OUT.
They approach the river bank and see small holes where the purple martins rests.
Martin says IT'S A PURPLE MARTIN COLONY.
THIS IS RARE.
Chris says WHAT DO YOU MEAN RARE?
THERE'S SO MANY OF THEM!
Martin says WELL, YEAH, THEY'RE
COLONIAL NESTERS.
BUT IT'S VERY RARE
TO FIND THEM NESTING
IN NATURAL CAVITIES ANYMORE.
A clip is projected from Koki’s hoverbike into the air. It shows purple martin nests. They are white spheres hanging from tall posts.
Koki says CHECK IT OUT.
TODAY, PURPLE MARTINS
ON THE EAST COAST
ONLY NEST IN GOURDS AND HOUSES
PUT OUT FOR THEM BY PEOPLE.
Aviva says MARTIN'S RIGHT.
Jimmy says HE SHOULD BE; THEY'RE
TALKING ABOUT MARTINS.
Martin says WOW, PURPLE MARTINS ARE SO NICE.
LIKE MARTINS USUALLY ARE.
Chris says OH BOY, HERE WE GO.
Martin says LOOK HOW THEY ALL GET ALONG.
NESTING SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER.
Chris says OH, LOOK.
ONE'S FEEDING
A MAYFLY TO A CHICK!
Martin says HE EATS JUST LIKE ME.
Martin gets closer to the nest with the chick.
Martin says HEY, LITTLE BUDDY.
OH, NAMING YOU IS GONNA BE EASY.
I'LL CALL YOU...
Chris says OH NO, DON'T DO IT, BROTHER!
Martin says WHY NOT?
IT'S PERFECT.
Chris says PLEASE, NO!
Martin says MARTIN JUNIOR!
Chris says HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS
CAN I TAKE?
Jimmy says I THINK THAT'S
A REALLY GOOD NAME.
Aviva says HMM, I WOULD'VE
PREFERRED MARTINITO!
Koki says HANG IN THERE, CHRIS.
The small martin hides.
Martin says HEY, MARTIN JUNIOR,
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
Chris says THERE'S SOMETHING
HAPPENING OUTSIDE.
GUYS, CAN YOU FIND OUT
WHAT'S ALARMING THE COLONY?
They all look up the cliff using binoculars. They spot s small brown furry animal.
Aviva says THERE!
Jimmy says ON THE CLIFF.
Aviva says SOME KIND OF WEASEL!
Chris says YES, SOMETHING OTHER THAN
AN ANIMAL NAMED MARTIN!
YOU'RE RIGHT, THAT'S DEFINITELY
A MEMBER OF THE WEASEL FAMILY.
SOME KIND OF MUSTELID FOR SURE.
BUT WHAT KIND?
GOING IN FOR A CLOSER LOOK
TO GET AN IDEA.
A closer look on the animal shows it is a pine martin.
Chris says OH NO... NO...
PLEASE NO... ANYTHING BUT THAT!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
NO!
Aviva says WHAT'S WRONG, CHRIS?
Chris says IT'S A PINE MARTEN!
Martin says DID YOU SAY MARTIN?
Chris says OH BROTHER.
Aviva says WHAT?
ANOTHER ANIMAL CALLED MARTIN?
Martin says THIS IS MY LUCKY DAY!
HANGING OUT WITH THE OTHER
MARTINS OF THE CREATURE WORLD!
Chris says SOMETHING TELLS ME THIS IS
NOT GOING TO BE MY DAY.
Martin says COME ON, CHRIS!
AND NOW WE HAVE
A NEW CREATURE MISSION!
LET'S GO!
Chris says WELL, I CAN'T RESIST
A CREATURE MISSION!
Martin says OUR MISSION: FOLLOW THAT MARTEN
AND GET PINE MARTEN POWERS!
Chris says HEY, ANY CREATURE ADVENTURE
IS A GOOD CREATURE ADVENTURE.
SO WHY NOT?
SIGHTS SET ON PINE MARTEN.
I'M GOING IN.
The brothers start following the pine marten among the woods.
Martin says THAT A BOY, CHRIS!
WHOA, THAT WAS CLOSE!
Chris says HMM, WHERE'D HE GO?
DOING ANOTHER PASS!
HMM.
WHERE COULD HE BE?
HUH?
Chris stands on a brunch. A red squirrel appears and runs towards him.
Chris says WHOA!
OW!
HUH?
Chris does not longer wear the creature suit. The squirrel accidentally took it.
Chris says HEY, YOU ACCIDENTALLY PUT ON
MY CREATURE POWER VEST!
WAIT!
HEY SQUIRREL, WAIT!
WHAT?
YOU RAN INTO ME!
UH-OH.
OOF!
The pine marten appears. It runs towards Chris making him fall of the brunch.
(YELLING)
Chris says OOPS, MISSED THE BRANCH!
WELL, I'M GLAD THIS IS
A CLIMBING ADVENTURE.
HEY!
HEY, HEY SQUIRREL!
COME BACK WITH MY
CREATURE POWER VEST!
(YELLING)
Chris falls again. Martin flies towards him and catches him.
Martin says GOTCHA, BRO!
Chris says MARTIN, FORGET ABOUT ME!
YOU'VE GOT TO CATCH THAT
SQUIRREL AND GET
MY CREATURE POWER VEST BACK.
I WON'T BE ABLE TO ACTIVATE
ANY CREATURE POWERS WITHOUT IT.
Chris moans and says I'LL BE CREATURE POWERLESS
FOREVER!
Martin says IT'LL BE OKAY, BRO.
I'M GOING AFTER THAT SQUIRREL.
HEY GUYS, TAKE CARE OF CHRIS!
Chris says A SQUIRREL STOLE
MY CREATURE POWER VEST.
(SOBBING)
Jimmy says WOW, THIS IS NOT CHRIS'S DAY.
Aviva says WE SHOULD TAKE HIM BACK
TO THE MINIATURIZER.
Koki says AND GET HIM REAL SIZE.
Martin says THIS IS A ROUGH DAY
FOR MY BROTHER.
I'VE GOT TO GET HIS VEST BACK.
SO WHERE IS THAT
VEST-SNATCHING SQUIRREL?
HMM, THERE'S A PINE MARTEN,
BUT NO SQUIRREL.
SHE COULD BE ANYWHERE WITHIN
THIS CONIFEROUS FOREST.
THE BEST WAY TO FIND
THE SQUIRREL WEARING
CHRIS'S POWER VEST......IS TO USE PINE MARTEN POWERS.
RIGHT, AVIVA?
A clip is projected from Martin’s creature disk. Aviva appears.
Aviva says YOU'RE RIGHT.
TO HELP CHRIS, I'LL MAKE YOU
A PINE MARTEN POWER DISK.
Martin laughs and says WAHOO!
FIRST PURPLE MARTIN POWERS,
AND NOW PINE MARTEN POWERS.
OH, IS THIS MY BIRTHDAY!
Aviva says WELL, ENJOY IT, MARTINO!
AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT,
MAKE SOME OBSERVATIONS
OF THE PINE MARTEN.
Koki says AND GET CHRIS'S
CREATURE POWER VEST BACK.
Chris says OH, THIS IS THE WORST DAY EVER.
Aviva says AND PRONTO!
Martin says THAT'S A 10-4.
LOCKING IN ON PINE MARTEN.
Martin steps into a brunch next to the pine marten.
He says HEY, MARTEN.
CAN IT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS?
Back in Tortuga, Koki and Jimmy turns Chris back into his size.
Chris says OH BOY...
Koki says AW, CHEER UP, CHRIS!
Jimmy says YEAH, WHEN SOMETHING'S
NOT GOING YOUR WAY,
IT'S BEST TO TRY AND DO
SOMETHING TO MAKE IT BETTER.
Koki says YEAH, LIKE GET BACK OUT THERE
AND GET YOUR VEST BACK.
Chris says OKAY, BRR, OKAY.
SHAKE IT OFF.
YEAH!
I'M GONNA SAVE MY
CREATURE POWER VEST!
Aviva says I'LL COME TOO, AND I'LL BRING
MY MOBILE INVENTION KIT.
I CAN PROGRAM AS WE GO.
Chris sits on a hoverbike. Aviva climbs and sits with him.
Chris says ALL RIGHT, I'LL DRIVE!
Aviva says YEAH, THAT'S BETTER.
I SHOULDN'T REALLY
PROGRAM AND DRIVE.
Chris says LET'S MOTOR.
WE'VE GOT TO GET
MY CREATURE VEST BACK
FROM THAT SLIPPERY SQUIRREL.
Martin appears patting the pine marten. A baby pine marten appears.
Martin says AW, IT DOESN'T GET
ANY CUTER THAN THAT.
AWW!
Chris says HEY, MARTIN!
Martin says HEY GUYS, LOOK!
I JUST FOUND
A LITTLE PINE MARTEN,
AND I'M JUST THINKING
ABOUT WHAT TO CALL HIM.
AND I'M GONNA NAME YOU...
LIL' MARTY.
(GROANING)
Aviva says THAT'S CUTE, MARTIN.
BUT GIVE ME SOME OBSERVATIONS
I CAN USE FOR THE PROGRAMMING.
Martin says ON IT!
HMM, CLAWS FOR CLIMBING.
Aviva says CHECK!
Martin says HMM, WHAT ELSE?
(CHUCKLING)
LOOKS LIKE IT'S
PLAYTIME WITH MOM!
A LONG LEAN BODY THAT
MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE
A FURRY FOUR-LEGGED SNAKE
SLIDING LIGHTNING FAST
THROUGH THE TREES.
Aviva says CHECK!
Martin says WHOA, NICE LEAP!
THEIR BALANCE IS INCREDIBLE,
WHEN RUNNING ON BRANCHES AND
LEAPING FROM TREE TO TREE.
THAT BALANCE IS THE MAIN THING.
IT'S THE THING THAT MAKES IT
POSSIBLE FOR THE PINE MARTEN
TO CHASE HIS FAVOURITE PREY
WHO ARE ALSO GREAT AT
RUNNING THROUGH THE TREES:
SQUIRRELS!
CORNERING THEM IN THE TREES.
THAT'S HOW PINE MARTENS
CATCH RED SQUIRRELS.
Aviva says PINE MARTEN POWER DISC
IS COMPLETE!
Martin says OH, PERFECT TIMING!
ACTIVATE PINE MARTEN POWERS!
Martin activates the disk and turns into a pine marten.
Martin says WOW, PINE MARTEN POWERS
ARE AWESOME!
I FEEL LIKE
RUNNING THROUGH THE TREES.
Chris says AWW, I WANNA DO THAT!
(SNIFFING)
Martin says AND ANOTHER POWER
I DIDN'T EXPECT.
MY NOSE IS FINELY TUNED.
(SNIFFING)
I SMELL SQUIRRELS.
Chris says WELL, FOLLOW THAT NOSE
RIGHT TO THE SQUIRREL
WHO STOLE MY
CREATURE POWER VEST.
I NEED IT BACK!
Martin says YOU GOT IT, BRO!
(SNIFFING)
RED SQUIRREL THAT WAY!
Chris says OH, THIS IS NOT
A GOOD DAY FOR ME.
I LOSE MY CREATURE POWER VEST
ON A DAY WE'RE ADVENTURING
WITH THOSE CLIMBING POWERS!
Aviva says HANG IN THERE, CHRIS.
THE DAY ISN'T OVER YET.
Martin sees the squirrel and says HEH, STRANGE, HE KIND OF
REMINDS ME OF CHRIS.
OH, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING,
BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF
EXPERIENCE TACKLING MY BROTHER.
HEY, CHRIS!
YOUR VEST IS HEADING YOUR WAY!
Chris says ALL RIGHT!
COME ON VEST, RIGHT OVER HERE!
OH HO, YES.
GOTCHA!
The squirrel jumps into Chris helmet but then it gets underneath his clothes. Martin follows the squirrel.
Chris says HUH?
Martin says I'LL GET HIM!
AH, DON'T GO IN THERE!
Chris laughs and yells making the hoverbike shake.
Aviva says STEADY!
Chris says HUH?
AAH!
NO!
DON'T GO IN THERE!
STOP!
PLEASE STOP!
WAIT, MY VEST!
Chris jumps and falls in a pond.
Chris says UH-OH.
AWW, I'M THE CLIMBING BROTHER.
NOT THE SWIMMING BROTHER.
THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT MY DAY.
Aviva laughs and says COME ON, CHRIS.
HANG IN THERE.
DAY'S NOT OVER YET!
OKAY, NOW I'VE GOT YOU
Martin continues chasing the squirrel. It climbs a tree.
Martin says IN AN ISOLATED TREE.
I THINK THIS IS
THE END OF THE CHASE.
NO SQUIRREL CAN LEAP THAT FAR.
NOW THAT'S PINE MARTEN POWERS!
Martin takes back the vest and gives it to Chris.
Marin says HEY, CHRIS, BROTHER O' MINE.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND!
Chris says YES, MY VEST!
YOU'RE BACK!
MY CREATURE POWER VEST!
Now, both brothers are in the Tortuga. They both back to normal size. Martin holds a pine marten and a purple martin rests on his shoulder.
Chris says I'M NEVER TAKING YOU OFF AGAIN.
Martin says ALL RIGHT, STILL
A LITTLE DAYLIGHT LEFT.
COME ON, LET'S
GET BACK OUT THERE
AND ADVENTURE WITH
THE OTHER MARTINS.
Chris says THANKS, BUT I'VE
HAD ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY.
I'M JUST GOING TO
HOLD ONTO MY VEST,
GO INTO THE TORTUGA,
LIE DOWN,
AND THINK OF SOME ANIMALS
THAT HAVE CHRIS IN THEIR NAME.
HMMM, HIPPOPOTOCHRIS?
NOPE.
RHINOCOCHRIS?
NOPE.
Aviva chuckles and says WE'LL HELP CHRIS THINK OF
CHRIS ANIMALS TOMORROW.
Martin says BECAUSE ISN'T TODAY A DAY
FOR THE MARTINS OR WHAT?
MARTINING FREE AND IN THE WILD!
Now, the real life brothers appear.
Chris says SO, SUMMER IS HERE,
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
GREAT THINGS ABOUT SUMMER.
ONE OF THE BEST IS IT'S
PURPLE MARTIN NESTING SEASON.
Martin says AND WE'VE GOT A WHOLE COLONY
OF NESTING PURPLE MARTINS
RIGHT HERE!
The camera turns and shows a white martin nest.
Chris says AWESOME!
MALES AND FEMALES.
Martin says YEAH, THE MALES
ARE THE BLACK ONES
THAT WHEN THE SUN
HITS THEM JUST RIGHT,
THEY SHINE A BLUISH PURPLE.
THAT'S WHY THEY'RE CALLED
A PURPLE MARTIN.
WELL, THAT'S WHY
THEY'RE CALLED PURPLE,
BUT I'M STILL NOT SURE WHY
THEY'RE CALLED MARTIN.
BUT I LIKE IT!
Chris says THEY LIKE TO SIT AND
REST ON THEIR BALCONIES.
Martin says THEY DO.
LOOK, THERE'S A PAIR
RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER,
THE MALE AND THE FEMALE.
THEY'VE GOT A NEST OF EGGS,
OR MAYBE CHICKS ALREADY.
Chris says EACH PAIR OF PURPLE MARTINS
HAS IT'S OWN HOLE,
IT'S OWN NESTING CHAMBER
IN THE HOUSE.
Martin says AND THEY'RE WORKING TOGETHER
TO RAISE CHICKS.
IT'S A SHORT SUMMER SEASON, SO
THEY'RE REALLY, REALLY BUSY.
THEY'VE GOT TO FEED UP
THEIR HATCHLINGS
SO THAT THEY'RE READY TO FLY.
SO THEY'RE STRONG AND HEALTHY.
SO THEY CAN MAKE THEIR MIGRATION
SOUTH TO THE RAINFOREST,
TO THE AMAZON RAINFOREST WHICH
IS WHERE THEY SPEND THE WINTER.
PURPLE MARTINS
ARE CAVITY NESTERS.
THEY NEST IN HOLES.
SOMETIMES NATURAL HOLES, BUT
MORE AND MORE THEY LIKE TO LIVE
IN THE NEST BOXES THAT
HUMANS SET UP FOR THEM.
AND THEY HAVE TO BE NESTING
TOGETHER IN GROUPS.
THE MORE PURPLE MARTINS
THERE ARE,
THE MORE SUCCESSFUL THEIR
NESTING SEASON IS GOING TO BE.
WHOA, HERE THEY COME!
PURPLE MARTINS
FLYING ALL AROUND!
THAT IS AN AMAZING FLYING POWER!
Chris says PURPLE MARTINS
ARE MASTERFUL FLYERS.
THEY'RE BUILT FOR
HIGH SPEED TURNS AND DIVES.
THAT'S BECAUSE THEY CHASE
INSECTS ON THE WING.
THEY PICK THEM OFF
IN MID-FLIGHT,
SO THEY HAVE TO TURN QUICK
TO CATCH THEIR PREY.
SO PURPLE MARTINS ARE A BIRD
WITH SOME AMAZING
CREATURE POWERS.
WELL OF COURSE,
THEY ARE NAMED MARTIN.
They laugh.
Martin says HEY, KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR
THIS AMAZING PURPLE MARTIN
THIS SUMMER AND KEEP ON
CREATURE ADVENTURING!
Chris says WE'LL SEE YOU ON
THE CREATURE TRAIL!
Music plays as the end credits roll.
