(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!"

Blynk and Aazoo take a nap in the spaceship.

(BLYNK AND AAZZOO SNORING)
(ALARM BLARING)

M.A.V.I.S. says WARNING,
COLLISION WITH SUN IMMINENT.

Blynk tries to wake Aazoo by shaking him and playing loud instruments.

(AAZOO BABBLING)
(AAZOO SCREAMING)
(CYMBALS CRASHING)
(BLYNK SNORING)
(TRUMPET SOUNDING)
(AAZOO BABBLING)

M.A.V.I.S. says WARNING,
WE ARE APPROACHING THE SUN.
PLEASE TAKE EMERGENCY ACTION.
(AAZOO SQUEALING)
(BLYNK BABBLING)
(AAZOO BABBLING)
(BLYNK GRUMBLING)

Blynk tries to take the control handle.

Aazoo wakes up and grunts at him.

He takes the handle and takes a turn away from the sun.

(ELECTRONIC MUSIC)
(ALIEN BABBLE)
(AAZOO EXHALING)
(ALARM BLARING)

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

(ALIEN BABBLE)

A real life boy named Marheon pops up on a screen and says BLYNK AND AAZOO,
BLYNK AND AAZOO.
HI, MY NAME IS MARHEON,
AND I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

Marheon is around 10 and has very short brown hair. He wears a red T-shirt.

Blynk and Aazoo wave at him.

(ALIEN BABBLE)

Marheon says MY PARENTS WERE WHISPERING ABOUT
MY BIRTHDAY,
AND IT MADE ME WONDER,
HOW CAN I GET SUPER-HEARING,
SO NEXT TIME I CAN HEAR WHAT
THEY'RE SAYING.
(ALIEN BABBLE)

M.A.V.I.S. says ALERT, INVENTION POTENTIAL HIGH.
ALIEN BRAIN JUICES FLOWING.
(ALIEN BABBLE)
ERROR, IT APPEARS WE'RE
LOW ON JUICE.
(ALIEN BABBLE)

Blynk presses the question button.

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

A real life scientist appears on another screen and says HI BLYNK AND AAZOO,
WHO AM I MEETING TODAY?
HI, I'M MARHEON,
AND I'M WONDERING IF IT'S
POSSIBLE TO GET SUPER-HEARING?

Simon says HEY MARHEON,
I'M SIMON.
WHAT A GREAT QUESTION.
WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO START?

Simon is in his thirties, clean-shaven and with short black hair. He wears glasses and a dark gray T-shirt.

Marheon says MAYBE BY LEARNING ABOUT EARS.

Simon says EXCELLENT IDEA.
BLYNK, HUMAN BODY FILES PLEASE.
SUB-CATEGORY,
"HEAR YE, HEAR YE."

Blynk plays the files.

M.A.V.I.S. says THE EAR IS MADE UP OF THREE
DIFFERENT PARTS,
THE OUTER EAR, THE MIDDLE EAR,
AND THE INNER EAR.
THESE PARTS ALL WORK TOGETHER,
SO YOUR BRAIN CAN HEAR,
AND PROCESS SOUND.

Simon says EXACTLY RIGHT, MAVIS.
THE OUTER EAR IS CALLED
THE ORACLE,
THAT'S THE PART OF THE EAR
THAT YOU CAN SEE.

M.A.V.I.S. says THIS MAY BE TRUE FOR HUMANS,
BUT IT IS DIFFERENT FOR
BLYNK AND AAZOO
WHO HEAR THROUGH THEIR
HIDDEN EARS,
AND INTERESTINGLY,
THEIR THUMBS.
(MARHEON GASPS)

Simon says THE MAIN JOB
OF THE OUTER EAR,
IS TO COLLECT UP ALL THE SOUNDS.
AFTER SOUND WAVES ARE COLLECTED
BY THE OUTER EAR,
THEY TRAVEL THROUGH
THE EAR CANAL,
AND MAKE THEIR WAY TO
THE MIDDLE EAR.

M.A.V.I.S. says HERE, THE EARDRUM
TURNS THOSE SOUND WAVES
INTO VIBRATIONS.

(AAZOO BANGING BONGOS)
(BLYNK EXCLAIMING)

Marheon and Simon cover their ears.

Simon says EARDRUMS ARE KINDA LIKE
BONGOS, AAZOO.
BOTH USE A THIN SKIN THAT'S
TIGHTLY STRETCHED.

M.A.V.I.S. says AFFIRMATIVE.
BUT THE EARDRUM HELPS
YOU TO HEAR,
AAZOO'S DRUMMING MAY DO
THE OPPOSITE.
(BLYNK AND AAZOO VOCALIZING)

M.A.V.I.S. says WHEN THE EARDRUM VIBRATES,
IT MOVES THE AUDITORY OSSICLES
HERE,
LIKE A WIND CHIME.
THEY TRANSFER SOUND TO
THE INNER EAR.

Simon says THOSE VIBRATIONS HIT THIS
FUNNY LOOKING PART,
THE COCHLEA.

M.A.V.I.S. says WHEN VIBRATIONS REACH
THE COCHLEA,
IT CAUSES TINY HAIRS TO MOVE,
CREATING SIGNALS THAT THE
BRAIN TRANSLATES.

Marheon says WOW.
THE BRAIN CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT
ALL THOSE WEIRD SIGNALS MEAN?

M.A.V.I.S. says AFFIRMATIVE.
THE BRAIN DECIPHERS IF IT IS
YOUR MOTHER CALLING,
OR YOUR FAVORITE SONG,
OR AAZOO SCREAMING BECAUSE
THEY HAVE, ONCE AGAIN,
ENDANGERED THE SHIP.
(ALIEN BABBLE)
(MARHEON LAUGHS)

Simon says HUMAN HEARING IS IMPRESSIVE,
BUT THERE ARE SOME ANIMALS WHOSE
HEARING IS SO GOOD,
THEY CAN HEAR SOUNDS THAT
WE CAN'T.

Marheon says REALLY?
WHAT ANIMALS CAN DO THAT?

Simon says BLYNK,
ANIMAL FILES PLEASE.
SUB-CATEGORY,
"SUPER-HEARING."
THE GREATER WAX MOTH CAN HEAR
SOUNDS THAT ARE SO
HIGH-PITCHED,
HUMANS CAN'T HEAR THEM.

Marheon says LIKE MY FRIEND'S DOG WHISTLE?

Simon says THAT'S RIGHT,
BUT EVEN HIGHER.
IN FACT, SO HIGH, NO OTHER
ANIMALS CAN HEAR THESE SOUNDS.
(HIGH-PITCHED NOISE)
THEY HAVE WHAT IS CALLED
ULTRASONIC HEARING.

M.A.V.I.S. says BATS LOVE TO
FEED ON MOTHS,
AND USE HIGH-PITCHED SOUNDS
TO FIND THEM.
RESEARCHERS BELIEVE THE REASON
THE GREATER WAX MOTH
HAS DEVELOPED ULTRASONIC
HEARING,
IS SO IT CAN HEAR THOSE CALLS,
AND AVOID BECOMING A
MOTH SANDWICH.

Marheon says GROSS, BUT COOL.

Simon says THEN THERE'S ELEPHANTS,
THEY CAN HEAR INFRASOUNDS.

Marheon says INFRASOUNDS?

M.A.V.I.S. says AFFIRMATIVE.
LOW, DEEP SOUNDS THAT HUMANS
CANNOT HEAR.
(ALIEN BABBLE)

Simon says THOSE KINDS OF SOUNDS
CAN ACTUALLY TRAVEL
FOR MANY KILOMETERS,
AND ALLOW ELEPHANTS TO SPEAK
TO ONE ANOTHER
FROM REALLY FAR AWAY.

M.A.V.I.S. says THEN THERE
ARE DOLPHINS.
NOT ONLY CAN THEY HEAR BETTER
THAN HUMANS,
THEY CAN HEAR OVER MUCH
LONGER DISTANCES.

Simon says AND UNDERWATER,
THEY DON'T EVEN USE THE
EAR OPENINGS ON THEIR HEAD.
UNDERWATER, DOLPHINS USE
THEIR LOWER JAWBONE
TO SEND SOUNDS INTO THEIR MIDDLE
EAR.

Marheon says SO THERE'S PROBABLY NO WAY
TO HAVE SUPER-HEARING
LIKE ANIMALS DO.

Simon says ACTUALLY, THERE MIGHT BE.

Marheon says REALLY?

Simon says BLYNK, INVENTION FILES PLEASE.
(ALIEN BABBLE)

M.A.V.I.S. says SOME RESEARCHERS ARE
NOW LOOKING AT
HOW THE HUMAN BRAIN, PAIRED
WITH A HEARING AID,
COULD HELP TO GIVE HUMANS
SUPER-HEARING.

Simon says OKAY, IMAGINE YOU'RE AT
A BIRTHDAY PARTY,
IT'S NOISY, AND YOU WANT TO
HEAR YOUR FRIENDS
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM,
THIS INVENTION WOULD LET YOU
HEAR WHAT THEY'RE SAYING,
JUST BY LOOKING AT THEM.

M.A.V.I.S. says AFFIRMATIVE.
YOUR BRAIN WOULD UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU ARE FOCUSED ON
THEIR CONVERSATION,
AND THEN FILTER ALL THE
OTHER NOISE OUT, IN THE ROOM.

An animated character whispers HI, HOW YOU DOING?

Marheon says IF I HAD THAT, I'D KNOW FOR SURE
WHAT MY PARENTS ARE PLANNING
FOR MY BIRTHDAY.
WHAT A GREAT INVENTION.

(ALIEN BABBLE)

M.A.V.I.S. says INSPIRATION DETECTED.
INVENTION STATION IS
READY CAPTAIN.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Blynk goes in the invention room and creates a device that looks like a wrist microphone.

(BLYNK VOCALIZING)
(METAL CLATTERING)
(ELECTRICITY BUZZING)
(MACHINES WHIRRING)
(BLYNK BABBLING)

Blynk says TA-DA.

M.A.V.I.S. says IT APPEARS BLYNK HAS INVENTED
SOMETHING,
TO ALLOW THEIR THUMBS TO
HAVE SUPER-HEARING.

Marheon says AMAZING.
(ALIEN BABBLE)

Aazoo grabs his arm and starts singing a song.

(AAZOO SINGING)

M.A.V.I.S. says INVENTION ALERT,
NEW DISCOVERY,
IT APPEARS AAZOO HAS A BEAUTIFUL
SINGING VOICE.

Marheon says WHEN I'M OLDER, I'M GONNA HELP
EVERYONE HEAR BETTER,
BUT UNTIL THEN,
I GUESS HAVING BIRTHDAY
SURPRISES ISN'T SO BAD.

Simon says I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
SOMETIMES HEARING TOO MUCH
SPOILS THE FUN.
RIGHT, BLYNK?

(BLYNK BABBLING)

Simon says BYE, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.
BYE MARHEON.

M.A.V.I.S. says WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING
FROM YOU AGAIN.
GET IT?
THE SEARCH FOR INVENTIONS
CONTINUES.
ALL SYSTEMS ENGAGE.
(ALIEN BABBLE)
(UPBEAT MUSIC)

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