(LIVELY ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

In animation, two aliens fly across space in a spaceship.

Blynk is a rectangular green alien with spiky hair and long fangs.

Aazoo is a round orange alien with 3 eyes.

With the help of M.A.V.I.S., the spaceship computer, and real Earth scientists, they listen to real Earth children's questions and try to find answers.

A song plays that says BLYNK AND AAZOO
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU

The name of the show reads "Blynk and Aazoo. Imagine, investigate, invent!"

(LIVELY ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

In the spaceship, Blynk draws a self-portrait on a computer while Aazoo tries to swat a fly.

(AAZOO GRUNTS)

Aazoo accidentally moves Blynk's mouse and makes him draw a moustache on his portrait.

(SAD TRUMPET MUSIC)
(BLYNK GROANS)
(FLY BUZZES)
(BLYNK GASPS)

The fly lands on the question button.

As Azzoo aims an electric swatter towards the control panel, M.A.V.I.S. says AAZOO, I WOULD HIGHLY
DISCOURAGE YOUR URGE
TO SWAT MY INTERFACE.
WOULD YOU NOT AGREE, CAPTAIN?

Blynk babbles.

(ALIEN BABBLE)
(ALARM BEEPS)

M.A.V.I.S. says INQUIRY BOOTH TRANSMITTING.
INCOMING INQUIRY.

A real life girl named Yohanna pops up on a screen and says HI, BLYNK AND AAZOO.
IT'S ME, YOHANNA, AND I HAVE A
QUESTION FOR YOU.

Yohanna is around 11, with braided brown hair and wears a denim jacket.

She says I'M ENTERING A TRACK
AND FIELD RACE,
AND I WANT TO BE THE FASTEST.

Blynk says OH.

Aazoo says OH.

Yohanna says FASTER THAN THE FASTEST
CREATURE ON EARTH.
IS THAT POSSIBLE?
(BLYNK AND AAZOO WHISPER)

M.A.V.I.S. says I BELIEVE THEY HAVE
FORMULATED AN ANSWER.
THIS SHOULD BE MOST EXCITING.
(BLYNK AND AAZOO GRUNT)

M.A.V.I.S. says OR NOT.
(ALIEN BABBLE)

M.A.V.I.S. says CALLING INTERSTELLAR
SCIENCE COUNCIL, CAPTAIN.

A real life girl scientist pops up on another screen and says HI, BLYNK AND AAZOO.
DOES SOMEONE HAVE A
QUESTION FOR ME?

Yohanna says HI, I'M YOHANNA,
AND I WAS WONDERING,
IS IT POSSIBLE
TO RUN FASTER THAN THE
FASTEST CREATURE ON EARTH?

A caption reads "Eugenia. Scientist."

Eugenia is in her thirties, with long braided brown hair and wears a white T-shirt.

She says I'M YOHANNA, I'M EUGENIA.
THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION,
BUT BEFORE WE CAN ANSWER
THAT, WE NEED TO DETERMINE
WHAT THE FASTEST LAND
ANIMAL ON EARTH IS.

M.A.V.I.S. says I DON'T WANT TO
CHEETAH ON THIS QUIZ,
BUT I MAY KNOW THE ANSWER.
SEE WHAT I DID THERE?

Eugenia says NICE ONE, M.A.V.I.S.
A CHEETAH IS DEFINITELY
THE FASTEST LAND ANIMAL,
AND THERE ARE A FEW REASONS WHY.
BLYNK, CHEETAH FILES,
PLEASE, SUBCATEGORY, SPEED.

M.A.V.I.S. says CHEETAHS TYPICALLY WEIGH
57 KILOGRAMS,
AND AS YOU CAN SEE, MOST
OF THAT WEIGHT IS MUSCLE.

Eugenia says THAT'S NOT MUCH HEAVIER
THAN YOU, YOHANNA.
A LIGHT MUSCULAR BODY
IS A SPEEDY BODY.

Yohanna says HEY, I'M LIGHT AND MUSCULAR.
GOLD MEDAL, HERE I COME.

M.A.V.I.S. says THE CHEETAH'S BODY IS ALSO
VERY SLIM AND NARROW.
ITS HEAD ALONE IS MUCH NARROWER
THAN THAT OF YOUR HUMAN
BALLOON-LIKE HEAD.

Yohanna says HEY, MY HEAD'S NOT THAT BIG.

Eugenia says NO, IT'S NOT, BUT A
CHEETAH'S IS SO NARROW,
IT ALLOWS AIR TO MOVE
MORE QUICKLY AROUND IT.
THEY'RE MORE AERODYNAMIC.

Yohanna says AERO?

Eugenia says AERODYNAMIC.
THE MORE AERODYNAMIC
SOMETHING IS,
THE FASTER IT CAN
PUSH THROUGH AIR,
LIKE THIS ROCKET OR THESE BIRDS.

M.A.V.I.S. says LIVE DEMONSTRATION OF
AERODYNAMICS IN ACTION,
FLY, AERODYNAMIC, AAZOO, NOT.

Eugenia says ANOTHER FASCINATING
THINGS ABOUT CHEETAHS
IS THEIR INCREDIBLY
FLEXIBLE SPINES.

M.A.V.I.S. says AFFIRMATIVE, A CHEETAH'S SPINE
CURVES
WITH EACH STRIDE,
ACTING LIKE A SPRING
FOR THEIR BACK LEGS.
THIS GIVES THEM
FAST RUNNING CYCLES
AND SUPER LONG STRIDES.

Yohanna says I TAKE GYMNASTICS, AND
I'M SUPER FLEXIBLE.
MAYBE I COULD LEARN HOW TO
SPRING MY LEGS LIKE THAT.

M.A.V.I.S. says NEGATIVE.
NO OTHER LIVING
CREATURE CAN MATCH
THE FLEXIBILITY OF
A CHEETAH'S SPINE.
IT ALLOWS THEM TO
ACHIEVE A TOP SPEED
OF 113 KILOMETERS PER HOUR.

Eugenia says THAT IS AS FAST
AS A CAR ON A HIGHWAY.

M.A.V.I.S. says THAT IS WAY FASTER THAN A HUMAN.
OR A THREE-EYED JOGGER.

Eugenia says YOUR AVERAGE
HUMAN CAN SPRINT
UP TO A SPEED OF 24
KILOMETERS PER HOUR.

Azzoo jogs inside the spaceship.

Eugenia says AAZOO, I'M NOT SO SURE OF.

Yohanna says BUT WHAT ABOUT THE
FASTEST HUMAN ON EARTH,
LIKE AN OLYMPIC RUNNER?

Eugenia says THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION.
BLYNK, CAN YOU PULL UP THE FILES
ON HUMAN RUNNING, PLEASE?

As Blynk types on the computer, the fly sits on the keyboard and Aazoo tries to swat it.

(FLY BUZZES)
(AAZOO GRUNTS)

Blynk says AAZOO, DON'T.

Yohanna says I DON'T THINK
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING FOR, AAZOO.
(ALIEN BABBLE)

Aazoo accidentally electrocutes Blynk with the swatter.

(BLYNK SHOUTS)
(UPBEAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

Blynk faints on the keyboard.

An old clip shows an Olympian sprinting on a track.

M.A.V.I.S. says THE FASTEST OLYMPIC
SPRINTERS
CAN REACH A SPEED OF
45 KILOMETERS PER HOUR.

Eugenia says BUT COMPARED
TO THE AVERAGE HUMAN,
WOLVES RUN FASTER,
HORSES RUN FASTER,
EVEN A HUGE BEAR.

Yohanna says HUMANS ARE EVEN
SLOWER THAN A BEAR?

Eugenia says BECAUSE HUMANS
ONLY HAVE TWO LEGS,
NOT FOUR, OUR
MUSCLES OUR SMALLER,
THE LENGTH OF OUR STRIDE
IS SHORTER.

Yohanna says SO FOUR LEGS FAST,
TWO LEGS SLOW?

Eugenia says NOT NECESSARILY.
TAKE EMUS AND
OSTRICHES, FOR EXAMPLE.
THEY HAVE TWO LEGS, AND
THEY ARE SUPER FAST.

M.A.V.I.S. says AFFIRMATIVE, EMUS CAN RUN
50 KILOMETERS PER HOUR,
AND OSTRICHES 70
KILOMETERS PER HOUR.
THEY ARE THE FASTEST
TWO-LEGGED ANIMALS ON EARTH.

Yohanna says THEY MIGHT NOT BEAT
A CHEETAH IN A RACE,
BUT THAT'S PRETTY FAST.

M.A.V.I.S. says BOTH THE CHEETAH AND OSTRICH
RELY
ON SPRING-LIKE LEG MOVEMENTS
TO GIVE THEM FAST RUNNING
CYCLES AND LONG STRIDES.

Eugenia says IN THE CASE OF THE OSTRICH,
THIS WAY OF MOVING ALLOWS IT
TO RUN LONG DISTANCES AS WELL.

Yohanna says FAST AND FAR?
MAYBE I COULD LEARN HOW
TO RUN LIKE AN OSTRICH.

Eugenia says AN EXCELLENT IDEA,
AND AN INVENTOR HAD
THE VERY SAME THOUGHT.
BLYNK, INVENTION FILES PLEASE.
(BLYNK GRUNTS)

Blynk rolls the files.

(TAPE REWINDS)

Eugenia says THIS IS KEAHI SEYMOURE,
A SCIENTIST WHO WAS SO INSPIRED
BY HOW OSTRICHES RUN,
HE INVENTED A BIONIC
BOOT TO MIMIC THEM.

M.A.V.I.S. says KEAHI SEYMORE CREATED THE FIRST
DRAWINGS
OF THE BIONIC BOOT WHEN
HE WAS ONLY 12 YEARS OLD.

Yohanna says SERIOUSLY?

M.A.V.I.S. says SERIOUSLY, I AM NOT
PROGRAMMED TO MAKE UP STORIES,
OR MAKE UP BEDS, OR SANDWICHES,
OR EXOTIC HAIRSTYLES.
ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH
IMAGINATION OR THUMBS REALLY.

Yohanna says IF I HAD A PAIR OF BIONIC BOOTS,
NOBODY COULD EVER
BEAT ME IN A RACE.

Blynk says AH-HA.

M.A.V.I.S. says INSPIRATION DETECTED.
INVENTION STATION
IS READY, CAPTAIN.

Blynk goes in the invention room and creates a pair of boots with springs.

Eugenia says OH, DOING SOME INVENTING
AGAIN.

Blynk says OH.

Eugenia says BIONIC BOOTS WOULD BE SUPER FUN,
BUT THEY WOULD MAKE YOUR
RACE VERY UNFAIR, YOHANNA.

Aazoo puts the boots on and springs around trying to catch the fly.

(SPRINGS SPROING)
(FLY BUZZES)
(UPBEAT ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
(YOHANNA LAUGHS)

Yohanna says AAZOO CAN'T CONTROL THE BOOTS.
(BLYNK LAUGHS)

As Aazoo rapidly bounces around, hits Blynk with the electric swatter again.

(BLYNK SHOUTS)

M.A.V.I.S. says ALERT, INVENTION FAILURE.
DISCOVERY OF SPACE
PING PONG SUCCESSFUL.

Yohanna says I THINK I'M GOING TO STUDY
THE SCIENCE BEHIND RUNNING
AND TRAIN REALLY HARD.
ONE DAY, I MIGHT EVEN
RUN IN THE OLYMPICS.

Eugenia says NOW THAT WOULDN'T SURPRISE
ME IN THE LEAST, YOHANNA.
YOHANNA MOST CERTAINLY
HAS A BETTER CHANCE
OF MAKING THE OLYMPICS
THAN AAZOO DOES
OF CATCHING THAT FLY.

The fly lands on Blynk's head and Aazoo hits it with the swatter.

(BLYNK SHOUTS)
(BLYNK LAUGHS)

Yohanna says WELL, TIME FOR ME
TO RACE OUT OF HERE.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

Eugenia says BYE.
BYE, YOHANNA.
WOW, SHE REALLY IS FAST.

M.A.V.I.S. says THE SEARCH FOR INVENTIONS
CONTINUES.
ALL SYSTEMS ENGAGED.

(ALIEN BABBLE)

The song says BLYNK AND AAZOO
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
