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 "How do we get sick?"

Howie and Baboo are transported to a strange planet.

(BABOO SNEEZES)

Howie and Baboo go on a ride-along.

Over the radio, a cop says CALLING ALL UNITS,
CALLING ALL UNITS.
GOO MONSTERS HAVE BEEN SPOTTED
MAKING TROUBLE
AT THE MAIN STREET HOTEL.

Howie says THIS IS GOO-BUSTER ONE,
WE'RE ON IT.
(COUGHS)

Howie says PUNCH IT BABOO!
(SIREN)

As they walk in the hotel, they carry their ghost busters' slime backpack.

They see many goo monsters floating over the hallway.

Howie says WHOA.
LOOK AT ALL
THESE GOO MONSTERS.
SET PACKS
TO SUPER-DUPER SOAPY.
(MIMICS IN GIBBERISH)

Howie struggles to control the hose and says WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!

He runs out of slime and says HMM?

He gasps as a monster comes at him and says OH NO! NO!
AHH!

Baboo sneezes on Howie's face.

(SNEEZES)

Howie says AH! UGH!
I'VE BEEN SLIMED.
(COUGHS)
(SNIFFS)

Howie says ARE YOU OKAY BABOO?

Baboo says NO.

Howie says WHOA.
IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER,
OH, I'D SAY YOU WERE SICK.
HMM. I WONDER WHAT IT WAS
THAT MADE YOU SICK.
COME TO THINK OF IT.
HOW DO WE GET SICK
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
(COUGHS)

Howie says ARE YOU THINKING
WHAT I'M THINKING?

Baboo says I'M TOO SICK.

Howie says NO,
TIME TO PUT OUT
A QUESTION ALERT!

Howie hits his watch. A question mark appears.

Howie says TO THE SECRET HEADQUARTERS!

Baboo says TO BED.

Howie says HMM? NO, THERE'S NO TIME
FOR THAT NOW BABOO.
WE HAVE TO
FIGURE THIS OUT?
C'MON!

At the tree house, Howie sits at the computer and says I WONDER WHOSE ANSWERED
TODAY'S QUESTION ALERT.

Baboo says MM-HMM.

Howie pushes a button.

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

Howie says HI THERE, QUESTIONEERS.
THANKS FOR ANSWERING
THE QUESTION ALERT.

Baboo says MM-HMM.

Baboo says TODAY'S QUESTION IS:
HOW DO WE GET SICK?

Baboo sneezes.

A boy in a hat says BECAUSE I DON'T WEAR
MY JACKET ALL THE TIME.

A girl in a pink sweater says GERMS MAKE US SICK.

A boy in a blue sweater says THEY GET INSIDE YOUR BODY,
AND THEN YOU COUGH.
YOU CAN GET
A STOMACH ACHE,

A boy in a striped shirt says YOU CAN, YOU CAN
LIKE THROW UP AND STUFF.

A girl in a light blue T-shirt says IF YOU DON'T WASH
YOUR HANDS ENOUGH,
YOU CAN GET SICK.

A girl in a hot pink printed T-shirt says OTHER PEOPLE CAN
MAKE YOU SICK.

A girl in a pink T-shirt and denim shirt says A VIRUS IS A LITTLE BUG
THAT MAKES YOU SICK.

The boy in blue says AH-CHOO!

Howie says GREAT ANSWERS, QUESTIONEERS.

Baboo says HMM.
I WONDER IF THERE'S AN EXPERT
WHO CAN HELP US
ANSWER THIS QUESTION?

Baboo says ME TOO.

Deena pops up on the screen. She has long wavy blond hair and wears a hot pink T-shirt.

She says HI HOWIE. HI BABOO.

Howie says HEY, IT'S DOCTOR DEENA!

Deena says I HEARD BABOO'S NOT
FEELING SO WELL TODAY.

Howie says NO.
(SNEEZES)

Howie says DEFINITELY NOT.
(SNEEZES)

Howie says HE'S NOT FEELING...
VERY WELL.
(SNEEZES)

Deena says WHY DON'T YOU TWO
COME DOWN TO MY OFFICE,
I'LL GIVE BABOO A CHECK-UP
AND WE'LL SEE WHAT
WE CAN DISCOVER TOGETHER.

Howie says THANKS DR. DEENA.
SEE YOU SOON.
C'MON BABOO. C'MON.

Baboo says OKAY.

Howie says YOU'RE GONNA
BE BETTER NOW.

As they walk in Doctor Deena's office, Howie says HI DR. DEENA.

Baboo says HELLO.

Deena says HEY THERE YOU GUYS.
(SNEEZES)

Deena says OH BABOO,
YOU SOUND PRETTY SICK.

Baboo says YEAH, SICK.

Deena says WHY DON'T YOU JUST COME ON IN,
I'LL EXAMINE YOU RIGHT AWAY.

Howie says THANK YOU.
C'MON BABOO.

Deena pushes down Babbo's tongue with a tongue depressor and says SAY, "AHH," BABOO.

Baboo says AHH.

Howie says WHAT IS THAT THING?

Deena says I'M USING IT TO
LOOK AT HIS THROAT,
AND HIS THROAT
LOOKS REALLY SORE.
I THINK HE'S GOT THE FLU.

Howie says THE FLU?
WELL HOW DID HE GET THAT?

Deena says WELL THE FIRST THING
YOU NEED TO KNOW
IS THAT WE'RE ALL
COVERED IN BUGS.

Howie says BUGS? AH.
I WON'T WANT TO
HAVE BUGS ON ME.
THERE'S NO BUGS ON YOU.
ARE THERE BUGS ON ME?

Baboo says I CAN FEEL 'EM!

Deena says WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
THE KIND OF BUGS I'M TALKING
ABOUT ARE CALLED BACTERIA,
AND THEY'RE SO SMALL
YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THEM.

Howie says WELL IF YOU CAN'T
EVEN SEE THEM,
HOW ARE WE GONNA
GET THEM OFF OF US?
OH NO.

Deena says WE DON'T WANT TO GET THEM OFF.
ESPECIALLY NOT THE GOOD ONES.
YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SURVIVE
IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE BACTERIA.

Howie says REALLY? OH, SORRY
LITTLE BACTERIA.
YOU'RE OKAY.

Deena says THE GOOD BACTERIA IN YOUR
STOMACH, FOR INSTANCE,
HELPS DIGEST YOUR FOOD.
AND GOOD BACTERIA,
HELPS BATTLE THE BAD BACTERIA
AND VIRUSES THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE MAKE YOU SICK.

Howie says WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,
HOLD ON A SECOND. VIRUSES?
WELL, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Howie says WELL WE CAN GET SICK
IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS.

An animation shows bacteria splitting inside the body.

Deena says FIRST, THERE'S BAD BACTERIA.
WHEN IT GETS INTO YOUR BODY,
IT SPLITS AGAIN AND AGAIN,
UNTIL YOU HAVE
A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM
THAT ARE HARD TO FIGHT OFF.
A VIRUS ON THE HAND,
ATTACHES ITSELF TO
A HEALTHY CELL IN YOUR BODY.
IT USES THE CELL
TO MAKE COPIES OF ITSELF,
SO IT CAN MAKE OTHER
HEALTHY CELLS SICK.

Howie says DR. DEENA,
WHERE DO BAD BACTERIA
AND VIRUSES COME FROM?

Deena says WELL THEY CAN BE
ANYWHERE, REALLY.
ON A DIRTY KITCHEN
COUNTER TOP,
THAT HASN'T BEEN
CLEANED PROPERLY.
IN FOOD THAT'S GOING BAD,
OR ANYWHERE WHERE
A SICK PERSON TOUCHES.

Howie says SO, IF WE TOUCH OR EAT STUFF
THAT HAS BACTERIA OR VIRUSES...
THEY GO INTO OUR BODIES?

Deena says EXACTLY, AND THAT'S WHY
IT'S SUPER IMPORTANT
TO WASH YOUR HANDS
WELL WHEN YOU'RE SICK.

Howie says OH, SO YOU DON'T SPREAD
IT TO OTHER PEOPLE.

Deena says YOU GOT IT HOWIE.
OKAY BABOO.
I WANT YOU TO COME STRAIGHT HOME
AND GET PLENTY OF REST,
DRINK LOTS OF WATER,
AND EAT REALLY NUTRITIOUS FOOD.

Baboo says BANANAS?

Deena says ABSOLUTELY.
THAT WAY YOUR BODY
WILL WIN THE BATTLE
AGAINST THE BACTERIA
AND VIRUSES.

Howie says THE BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD
BACTERIA AND BAD BACTERIA.
OH, OH, OH, AND VIRUSES.

Deena says YOU GOT IT HOWIE.

Howie turns to the camera and says HOW ABOUT YOU?
NOW DO YOU SEE
HOW WE GET SICK?
YOU DO? GREAT.
WELL NOW YOU KNOW!

(IMITATES IN GIBBERISH)

Babboo blows his nose.

(BLOWS NOSE)
(LAUGHS)

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.

Baboo yawns and turns in bed.

(YAWNS)

Howie says SO KEEP ASKING
QUESTIONS, OKAY?
SLEEP TIGHT,
LITTLE BUDDY.

Baboo snores.
