WE SHOW THEM A CUTE TIME OUT AND
THEY GET TO RATE IT.
TODAY THAT'S YOU.
Meganne says OH.
Laura says LET'S CHECK OUT THE CUTE TIME

A series of pets appear with the title "Cute time oot."
A clip shows a pangolin twisting on its back in a puddle.
Lucas says ALL RIGHT.
Laura says OKAY, CHECK THIS OUT.
Meganne says OH, IT'S SO CUTE?
Laura says I JUST FOUND OUT WHAT THIS
ANIMAL IS.
APPARENTLY IT'S CALLED A
PANGOLIN?
Lucas says IT'S CALLED A PANGOLIN,
THAT'S RIGHT.
Laura says LUCAS LOVES THESE ANIMALS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT?
Meganne says I THINK IT'S SO CUTE.
HE'S STRUGGLING TRYING TO GET
OUT, BUT HE CAN'T.
IT'S REALLY CUTE AND KIND OF
FUNNY.
Laura says HE'S KIND OF ENJOYING HIS
MOMENT IN THIS SWAMPY LITTLE
WATER PUDDLE.
Lucas says I WONDER WHAT IT WOULD BE
LIKE TO PET A PANGOLIN.
Laura says I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE HARD,
DON'T YOU THINK?
Lucas says MAYBE NOT AS SOFT AS A DOG OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
Laura says YEAH, MEGANNE, WHAT DO YOU
RATE THAT CUTE TIME OUT?
Meganne says I WOULD RATE IT A NINE OUT OF
TEN.
Laura says A NINE OUT OF TEN.
90 percent.
Lucas says 90 percent.
GOOD SCORE FOR THE PANGOLIN.
WE GOT TO BRING MORE BACK TO
CUTE TIME OUT.
THIS IS YOUR LAB COAT.
SHOW US THE EXPERIMENT THAT YOU
ARE ABOUT TO DO, PERFORM.
Lucas puts a white lab coat on Meganne.
Laura says THIS IS PART OF ANOTHER TOY
THAT YOU'RE SHOWING US, RIGHT?
Meganne shows a lab kit box and says YES, THIS IS A SPECIAL
EXPERIMENT WITH THIS KIT HERE.
IT HAS TEN AMAZING EXPERIMENTS,
BUT TODAY WE'RE GOING TO DO A...
KIND OF.
Laura says OH, AMAZING.
Lucas says A FOAM.
SO WE HAVE EGG WHITE HERE WITH A
LITTLE BIT OF WATER IN A
BIGGER-SIZED BOWL.
SOMETHING TELLS ME IT'S GOING

BIG IS GONNA HAPPEN.
Laura says SOMETHING BIG IS GONNA
HAPPEN!
SO WE HAVE THE EGG WHITES AND
WATER.
WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?
Meganne says WELL, IT DOESN'T...
Lucas says VINEGAR.
Meganne says WE'LL PUT A LITTLE BIT OF
BAKING SODA.
Lucas says BICARBONATE IS THE SCIENTIFIC
NAME IF ANYONE WANTS TO KNOW.
Laura says SMARTY.
Lucas says SMARTY PANTS.
Laura says OH, COOL!
Laura says SO WE GOT THAT TEASPOON OF
BAKING SODA.
Meganne says WOULD YOU LIKE TO PUT IT IN?
Lucas says I WOULD LOVE TO, MEGANNE.
THANKS FOR ASKING.
Laura says YOU CAN DO THE HONOURS.

Lucas says COOL.
Laura says WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE
DROPS OF THIS.
Meganne says WE'LL PUT THREE DROPS,
ACTUALLY.
Lucas says YOU CAN PUT WHATEVER COLOUR
YOU WANT BECAUSE THE WORLD IS
YOURS TO DISCOVER.
Laura says THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER.
Lucas says OKAY, SO WE MIX THAT IN,

Meganne says YEAH.
Laura says COOL, SO DO WE STIR THIS TOO?
Lucas says YEAH, WOULD YOU DO THE

Laura says I WILL.

Meganne says AND NOW, ARE YOU GUYS READY?
Lucas says YES!
Meganne says WAIT, MAYBE WE HAVE TO...
Lucas says I HAVE TO MOVE IT.
OH, IT'S BUBBLING.
Meganne says OH!
Laura says OH, IT'S LIKE CHANGING
TEXTURE.
Meganne says YEAH.
Lucas says IT IS TOTALLY BUBBLING.
Laura says IT IS BUBBLING UP.
Lucas says IT MUST BE THE COMBINATION OF
THE VINEGAR AND THE...
Meganne says OH, YOU CAN SEE IT!
Laura says IT'S COMING UP.
Lucas says SLOWLY, LIKE A THERMOMETER.
The mix gets bubbly and foamy and starts going up the container.
Laura says LIKE LAVA ROCKS WHEN THEY'RE
LIKE, YOU KNOW, HARDENING.
THERE, LOOK.
Lucas says AND IT GETS SUSPENSEFUL.
IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY COOL.
I HOPE YOU KIDS CAN SEE THIS.
CAN I HOLD IT UP?
MAYBE I SHOULDN'T TOUCH IT.
Laura says YOU'RE AFRAID OF IT.
Lucas says ALSO IT'S TIME FOR . . .
The announcer shouts "WE NEED TO KNOW"!
The loud voice makes the fort shake.
Laura says THAT'S RIGHT, MEGANNE, WE
ALSO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU
FROM OUR TVOkid CALLE, AUM.
Lucas says HEY, AUM.
A caption reads "Aum. Age 6."
Aum says HI.
Laura says HI, WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION FOR
MEGANNE?
Aum says WHERE WOULD YOU GET A...
Laura says HOW DID YOU GET THE TOY
EXPERT JOB?
Meganne says WELL, IT WAS A REALLY LONG
PROCESS.
I HAD TO SUBMIT A VIDEO AND THEN
I GOT A SKYPE INTERVIEW, AND
THEN I GOT A LIVE INTERVIEW, AND
THEN I GOT...
Laura says COOL.
SO IT WAS A BIG PROCESS, RIGHT?
Lucas says MM-HM.
Meganne says YEAH, BUT IT'S A REALLY FUN
EXPERIENCE.
Laura says TOTALLY WORTH IT.
Lucas says SO COOL.
THANKS FOR HANGING OUT WITH US
TODAY.
They do a cool high-five.
Lucas says WHO KNOWS, BY THE END OF THE
SHOW THIS MIGHT BE EXPLODING SO
BIG IT'S CRAZY.
TVOkids, LET'S CHECK IN WITH YOU
GUYS PLAYING WITH TOYS.
Laura says WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE TOY?
A boy in a gray and burgundy sweater says BALLET BLADES ARE MY
FAVOURITE TOY BECAUSE I JUST
LIKE TO SPIN THEM.
A boy in a white graphic T-shirt says SOME OF THE BEY BLADES IF YOU
SPIN THEM REALLY FAST, YOU WILL
BOUNCE THEM OUT OF THE
CONTAINER.
A boy in a sportive blue jacket says MY FAVOURITE TOY IS IN A
BOARD GAME BECAUSE WHEN I PLAY
WITH MY FAMILY I DON'T KNOW
WHO'S GOING TO WIN.
IT'S LIKE ALL ABOUT STRATEGY AND
IT'S REALLY FUN TIME PLAYING.
A girl in a white and purple shirt says I LIKE PLAYING LEGO BECAUSE
IT... I LIKE BUILDING STUFF WITH
MY OWN CREATIVITY.
A girl in a burgundy shirt says THERE'S THIS THING CALLED
SHOPKINS, ME, MY MOM OR MY
BROTHER SOMETIMES WOULD PICK A
CHARACTER, WE WOULD SET UP LIKE
THE LITTLE SHOP.
A girl in a Wonder Woman T-shirt says PARENTS COME IN AND SAY WOULD
YOU LIKE SOME POPCORN?
WOULD YOU LIKE COOKIES?
AND THE ACTUAL FOOD WASN'T
ACTUALLY FOOD.
IT WOULD BE THE SHOPKINS, AND WE
WOULD SOMETIMES TRY TO MAKE THEM
PAY.
A girl in a white top and white vest says AND I ALSO PRETEND THAT THEY
WERE ALIVE.
AND I HAD THEM SINCE I WAS FOUR.
THEY COMFORT ME, SO I GUESS
THEY'RE MY FAVOURITE.
The opening of "Tree Fort News" rolls.
Landon sits in the studio and says OH, HELLO, WELCOME TO TREE
FORT NEWS.
I'M, I'M LANDON FOG, AND TODAY
OUR TOP STORY IS A GOOD ONE.
TOP STORY TODAY IS RATS DRIVING
CARS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
SCIENTISTS HAVE TRAINED RATS TO
DRIVE AROUND IN TINY RAT-SIZED
CARS.
NOW THE RATS HAVE CONTROLS IN
THEIR VEHICLES, AND THEY CAN...
WHAT?
THEY CAN GO RIGHT, AND YOU CAN
SEE IN THIS VIDEO THESE RATS CAN
EVEN MOVE FORWARD, YES.
VERY TALENTED RATS.
THEY ARE REWARDED WITH FROOT
LOOPS FOR SUCCESSFUL TRIPS.
WE GO TO OUR EXPERT LAB RAT
NO. 14 FROM HER CAR.
HELLO, RAT NO. 14.
In a rat costume, Laura says HI.
ACTUALLY, I'M IN AN ROV,
RAT-OPERATED VEHICLE.
(HONKING).
Landon says NOW FIRST OF ALL I'M
WONDERING, IS IT SAFE FOR YOU TO
BE DRIVING WHILE WE'RE TALKING
TO YOU?
Rat says YEAH, IT'S A HANDS-FREE
DEVICE.
TOTALLY SAFE.
I'M A GREAT DRIVER, LANDON!
WHOO!
Landon says I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DRIVING,
RAT NO. 14?
Rat says OH, YES, TWO WEEKS.
(HONKING) WHOO!
Landon says YES, BE CAREFUL.
AND DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG
WAY, BUT WHY DID SCIENTISTS
THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO
TEACH RATS TO DRIVE?
Rat says WELL, APPARENTLY RAT BRAINS
ARE SIMILAR TO YOUR HUMAN
BRAINS, AND THEY WANTED TO SEE
IF DRIVING WOULD REDUCE ANXIETY.
YOU HUMANS GET... STRESS
HORMONES AFTER WE DROVE, GROSS,
BY THE WAY.
AND SURE ENOUGH WE WERE LESS
STRESSED.
She honks.
(HONKING).
Landon says OKAY, WELL, THAT IS RATHER
GROS.
ALSO I'M WONDERING IF MAYBE YOUR
POOP WAS WRONG BECAUSE YOU SEEM
A BIT STRESSED.
Rat says WELL, YOU KNOW, THERE WASN'T
ALL THIS TRAFFIC IN THE LAB.
Landon says OH.
(HONKING).
Landon says OKAY, NOW MAY I ASK YOU, WHY
DO YOU KEEP SHOUTING FROOT
LOOPS?
Rat says WELL, I NEED TO GET TO A
PLACE CALLED A GROCERY STORE.
I HEAR IT'S FULL OF WHOLE BOXES
OF FROOT LOOPS.
I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED, THOUGH.
Landon says WHY IS THAT, RAT NO. 14?
Rat says WELL, MY ROV DOESN'T HAVE ANY
BRAKES!
Landon says OH.
Rat says WHOA!
Landon says OH!
OH, DEAR.
Rat says I'M OKAY.
I'M OKAY!
OH, NO!
Rat says OH, SOMETHING HAPPENED TO RAT
NO. 14.
WELL, ANYWAY, WHO KNOWS, BUT WE
DO KNOW THAT RATS ARE DRIVING
CARS.
I'M LANDON FOG.
THAT WAS THE NEWS.
WE'LL CATCH YOU NEXT TIME ON
TREE FORT NEWS.
The announcer says IT'S TIME FOR A TVOkids
SUPER CITIZEN AWARD!
AND THE AWARD GOES TO . . .
KYLIE!
Kylie is 8, with long slightly wavy blond hair and wears pink-rimmed glasses and a pink T-shirt.
She says MY NAME IS KYLIE, AND I AM 8
YEARS OLD.
I BUY TOYS FOR KIDS WHO DON'T
HAVE ANY.
BECAUSE ON HOT, HOT DAYS A LOT
OF PEOPLE WANT TO GET SOMETHING
COLD.
I HAD A STAND AND ORGANIZED
QUICK ENOUGH TO START ON TIME.
MAKING SURE THAT THE LEMONADE
IS... AND IS ALSO ONE OF THE
FUNNEST THINGS BECAUSE YOU GET
TO TASTE IT.
She tastes the lemonade and says TASTES AWESOME!
The announcer says THE MONEY KYLIE RAISES BUYS
TOYS FOR VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS,
INCLUDING THE HOSPITAL FOR SICK
CHILDREN.
Kylie says LEMONADE STAND I BROKE MY
ARM BECAUSE I FELL OFF MY
SKATEBOARD, AND THEN I HAD TO GO
TO SickKids HOSPITAL, AND THEY
HELPED ME SO I WANTED TO GIVE
SOMETHING BACK TO THEM.
LOOK AT ALL THE TOYS I GOT TO
MAKE KIDS FEEL BETTER.
I LIKE TO GIVE TOYS TO KIDS
BECAUSE KIDS LOVE TOYS MORE THAN
ANYTHING ELSE.
AFTER I GIVE KIDS TOYS I FEEL
HAPPY AND EXCITED INSIDE.
I THINK... HAPPY WHEN I GIVE
THEM A TOY.
The announcer says KYLIE'S LEMONADE STAND HAS
DONATED OVER 1800 DOLLARS IN TOYS TO
VARIOUS CHARITIES.
Kylie says I LIKE TO HELP OTHERS.
ENJOY YOUR LEMONADE.
The announcer says CONGRATULATIONS, KYLIE!
Back at the fort, Lucas says WELCOME BACK.
Laura says WELCOME BACK TO TOY DAY.
Lucas says TOY TOWN.
Laura says TOY DAY.
Lucas says SORRY, I SAID TOY TOWN
BECAUSE WE'RE ABOUT TO EXPLORE A
NEW PLACE WE'VE NEVER BEEN
BEFORE.
IT'S CALLED TOY TOWN.
Laura says TOY TOWN HALL, EXACTLY.
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING
ON THERE, AND TODAY LET'S CHECK
OUT WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT
IN TOY TOWN HALL.
Lucas says THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT FAKE
MUSEUM PAINTINGS.
WHAT COULD BE GOING ON?
Laura says LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
Laura and Lucas play with toys and make them speak.
Sherlock says HEAR YE.
Da Vinci says WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY?
IS EVERYONE GATHERED FOR TOWN
HALL, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS
FAKE MUSEUM PAINTING.
Knight says WHAT?
WHAT, YOU SAY FAKE?
Da Vinci says I DO.
Knight says NO!
BUT I LOOK AT THAT PAINTING
EVERY DAY, AND IT LOOKS LIKE AN
ORIGINAL.
Da Vinci says IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL MONA
LISA.
SOMETHING ABOUT IT IS DIFFERENT.
DETECTIVE, HAVE YOU NOTICED
ANYTHING ODD HAPPENING AROUND
TOWN?
Sherlock says EXCUSE ME, OUT OF THE WAY.
LET ME TAKE A LOOK HERE.
Da Vinci says PLEASE TAKE A LOOK.
Sherlock says HMM.
HE'S RIGHT!
IT'S A FRAUD!
Da Vinci says WHAT?
Sherlock says WELL, WHY DON'T WE ASK THE
MAD SCIENTIST.
Einstein says YEAH, EVEN THE SCIENCE BEHIND
THIS PAINTING IS THAT IT IS NOT
RE-USED WITH REGULAR INK.
SOMEONE HAS REPLACED IT WITH
FRAUD INK.
Sherlock says FRAUD INK.
Einstein says FRAUD INK.
YES.
Sherlock says HMM.
Da Vinci says NOW, DETECTIVE, WHERE WERE
YOU THE NIGHT OF THIS CRIME?
Sherlock says WELL, I WAS ON VACATION WITH
MY FAMILY.
IN VERMONT.
Da Vinci says SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME FOR A
CRIME TO HAPPEN.
Sherlock says BUT LOOK AT THIS.
THIS SMALL...
Da Vinci says CAT!
Sherlock says WHERE WERE YOU ON THE NIGHT
THE MUSEUM PAINTING WAS
SWITCHED?
Da Vinci says TELL US.
Cat says UMM, WELL, THE TRUTH IS I
THOUGHT I WOULD GO OUTSIDE AND
DO REGULAR CAT THINGS, BUT THEN
I THOUGHT HOW NICE WOULD THAT
PAINTING LOOK IN MY APARTMENT!
Da Vinci says IT WAS YOU!
Sherlock says IT WAS YOU!
Da Vinci says YOU ARE NOW BANNED FROM TOY
TOWN.
Sherlock says SEND YOU BACK TO CAT LAND.
Da Vinci says ALL RIGHT.
WE'VE SOLVED THE CRIME.
NOW WE PARTY.
Sherlock says GOOD-BYE.
Laura says WITH DRAMA IN TOY TOWN HALL.
IT'S GETTING BETTER.
Lucas says COME ON, TOYS.
Laura says I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD BE THE
CAT.
Lucas says ME NEITHER, BUT THEY SOLVED
IT.
THEY REALLY FIGURED IT OUT.
Laura says THEY DID.
Lucas says TOMORROW WE'RE GOING TO
FIGURE OUT THE SCIENCE BEHIND
BLACK HOLES.
Laura says THAT'S TRUE.
WE'RE TALKING ALL ABOUT SPACE
AND BLACK HOLES.
Lucas says CALL IN WITH YOUR QUESTIONS,
SKYPE, FACETIME.
WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
Laura plays the ukulele and they sing a song that goes SO LONG, SEE YOU LATER.
I BETTER TOMORROW WILL BE EVEN
GREATER.
Lucas says ASTROPHYSICIST IN TOMORROW,
SO COOL.
The song continues SO LONG, SAYONORA.
CLUE IT KEEPS US ON THIS EARTH

GOOD-BYE TO YOU.

WOULD SOMETIMES TRY TO MAKE THEM
PAY.
A girl in a white top and white vest says AND I ALSO PRETEND THAT THEY
WERE ALIVE.
AND I HAD THEM SINCE I WAS FOUR.
THEY COMFORT ME, SO I GUESS
THEY'RE MY FAVOURITE.
The opening of "Tree Fort News" rolls.
Landon sits in the studio and says OH, HELLO, WELCOME TO TREE
FORT NEWS.
I'M, I'M LANDON FOG, AND TODAY
OUR TOP STORY IS A GOOD ONE.
TOP STORY TODAY IS RATS DRIVING
CARS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
SCIENTISTS HAVE TRAINED RATS TO
DRIVE AROUND IN TINY RAT-SIZED
CARS.
NOW THE RATS HAVE CONTROLS IN
THEIR VEHICLES, AND THEY CAN...
WHAT?
THEY CAN GO RIGHT, AND YOU CAN
SEE IN THIS VIDEO THESE RATS CAN
EVEN MOVE FORWARD, YES.
VERY TALENTED RATS.
THEY ARE REWARDED WITH FROOT
LOOPS FOR SUCCESSFUL TRIPS.
WE GO TO OUR EXPERT LAB RAT
NO. 14 FROM HER CAR.
HELLO, RAT NO. 14.
In a rat costume, Laura says HI.
ACTUALLY, I'M IN AN ROV,
RAT-OPERATED VEHICLE.
(HONKING).
Landon says NOW FIRST OF ALL I'M
WONDERING, IS IT SAFE FOR YOU TO
BE DRIVING WHILE WE'RE TALKING
TO YOU?
Rat says YEAH, IT'S A HANDS-FREE
DEVICE.
TOTALLY SAFE.
I'M A GREAT DRIVER, LANDON!
WHOO!
Landon says I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DRIVING,
RAT NO. 14?
Rat says OH, YES, TWO WEEKS.
(HONKING) WHOO!
Landon says YES, BE CAREFUL.
AND DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG
WAY, BUT WHY DID SCIENTISTS
THINK IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO
TEACH RATS TO DRIVE?
Rat says WELL, APPARENTLY RAT BRAINS
ARE SIMILAR TO YOUR HUMAN
BRAINS, AND THEY WANTED TO SEE
IF DRIVING WOULD REDUCE ANXIETY.
YOU HUMANS GET... STRESS
HORMONES AFTER WE DROVE, GROSS,
BY THE WAY.
AND SURE ENOUGH WE WERE LESS
STRESSED.
She honks.
(HONKING).
Landon says OKAY, WELL, THAT IS RATHER
GROS.
ALSO I'M WONDERING IF MAYBE YOUR
POOP WAS WRONG BECAUSE YOU SEEM
A BIT STRESSED.
Rat says WELL, YOU KNOW, THERE WASN'T
ALL THIS TRAFFIC IN THE LAB.
Landon says OH.
(HONKING).
Landon says OKAY, NOW MAY I ASK YOU, WHY
DO YOU KEEP SHOUTING FROOT
LOOPS?
Rat says WELL, I NEED TO GET TO A
PLACE CALLED A GROCERY STORE.
I HEAR IT'S FULL OF WHOLE BOXES
OF FROOT LOOPS.
I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED, THOUGH.
Landon says WHY IS THAT, RAT NO. 14?
Rat says WELL, MY ROV DOESN'T HAVE ANY
BRAKES!
Landon says OH.
Rat says WHOA!
Landon says OH!
OH, DEAR.
Rat says I'M OKAY.
I'M OKAY!
OH, NO!
Rat says OH, SOMETHING HAPPENED TO RAT
NO. 14.
WELL, ANYWAY, WHO KNOWS, BUT WE
DO KNOW THAT RATS ARE DRIVING
CARS.
I'M LANDON FOG.
THAT WAS THE NEWS.
WE'LL CATCH YOU NEXT TIME ON
TREE FORT NEWS.
The announcer says IT'S TIME FOR A TVOkids
SUPER CITIZEN AWARD!
AND THE AWARD GOES TO . . .
KYLIE!
Kylie is 8, with long slightly wavy blond hair and wears pink-rimmed glasses and a pink T-shirt.
She says MY NAME IS KYLIE, AND I AM 8
YEARS OLD.
I BUY TOYS FOR KIDS WHO DON'T
HAVE ANY.
BECAUSE ON HOT, HOT DAYS A LOT
OF PEOPLE WANT TO GET SOMETHING
COLD.
I HAD A STAND AND ORGANIZED

She tastes the lemonade and says TASTES AWESOME!
The announcer says THE MONEY KYLIE RAISES BUYS
TOYS FOR VARIOUS ORGANIZATIONS,
INCLUDING THE HOSPITAL FOR SICK
CHILDREN.
Kylie says LEMONADE STAND I BROKE MY
ARM BECAUSE I FELL OFF MY
SKATEBOARD, AND THEN I HAD TO GO
TO SickKids HOSPITAL, AND THEY
HELPED ME SO I WANTED TO GIVE
SOMETHING BACK TO THEM.
LOOK AT ALL THE TOYS I GOT TO
MAKE KIDS FEEL BETTER.
I LIKE TO GIVE TOYS TO KIDS
BECAUSE KIDS LOVE TOYS MORE THAN
ANYTHING ELSE.
AFTER I GIVE KIDS TOYS I FEEL
HAPPY AND EXCITED INSIDE.
I THINK... HAPPY WHEN I GIVE
THEM A TOY.
The announcer says KYLIE'S LEMONADE STAND HAS
DONATED OVER 1800 DOLLARS IN TOYS TO
VARIOUS CHARITIES.
Kylie says I LIKE TO HELP OTHERS.
ENJOY YOUR LEMONADE.
The announcer says CONGRATULATIONS, KYLIE!
Back at the fort, Lucas says WELCOME BACK.
Laura says WELCOME BACK TO TOY DAY.
Lucas says TOY TOWN.
Laura says TOY DAY.
Lucas says SORRY, I SAID TOY TOWN
BECAUSE WE'RE ABOUT TO EXPLORE A
NEW PLACE WE'VE NEVER BEEN
BEFORE.
IT'S CALLED TOY TOWN.
Laura says TOY TOWN HALL, EXACTLY.
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING
ON THERE, AND TODAY LET'S CHECK
OUT WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT
IN TOY TOWN HALL.
Lucas says THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT FAKE
MUSEUM PAINTINGS.
WHAT COULD BE GOING ON?
Laura says LET'S CHECK IT OUT.
Laura and Lucas play with toys and make them speak.
Sherlock says HEAR YE.
Da Vinci says WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY?
IS EVERYONE GATHERED FOR TOWN
HALL, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS
FAKE MUSEUM PAINTING.
Knight says WHAT?
WHAT, YOU SAY FAKE?
Da Vinci says I DO.
Knight says NO!
BUT I LOOK AT THAT PAINTING
EVERY DAY, AND IT LOOKS LIKE AN
ORIGINAL.
Da Vinci says IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL MONA
LISA.
SOMETHING ABOUT IT IS DIFFERENT.
DETECTIVE, HAVE YOU NOTICED
ANYTHING ODD HAPPENING AROUND
TOWN?
Sherlock says EXCUSE ME, OUT OF THE WAY.
LET ME TAKE A LOOK HERE.
Da Vinci says PLEASE TAKE A LOOK.
Sherlock says HMM.
HE'S RIGHT!
IT'S A FRAUD!
Da Vinci says WHAT?
Sherlock says WELL, WHY DON'T WE ASK THE
MAD SCIENTIST.
Einstein says YEAH, EVEN THE SCIENCE BEHIND
THIS PAINTING IS THAT IT IS NOT
RE-USED WITH REGULAR INK.
SOMEONE HAS REPLACED IT WITH
FRAUD INK.
Sherlock says FRAUD INK.
Einstein says FRAUD INK.
YES.
Sherlock says HMM.
Da Vinci says NOW, DETECTIVE, WHERE WERE
YOU THE NIGHT OF THIS CRIME?
Sherlock says WELL, I WAS ON VACATION WITH
MY FAMILY.
IN VERMONT.
Da Vinci says SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD TIME FOR A
CRIME TO HAPPEN.
Sherlock says BUT LOOK AT THIS.
THIS SMALL...
Da Vinci says CAT!
Sherlock says WHERE WERE YOU ON THE NIGHT
THE MUSEUM PAINTING WAS
SWITCHED?
Da Vinci says TELL US.
Cat says UMM, WELL, THE TRUTH IS I
THOUGHT I WOULD GO OUTSIDE AND
DO REGULAR CAT THINGS, BUT THEN
I THOUGHT HOW NICE WOULD THAT
PAINTING LOOK IN MY APARTMENT!
Da Vinci says IT WAS YOU!
Sherlock says IT WAS YOU!
Da Vinci says YOU ARE NOW BANNED FROM TOY
TOWN.
Sherlock says SEND YOU BACK TO CAT LAND.
Da Vinci says ALL RIGHT.
WE'VE SOLVED THE CRIME.
NOW WE PARTY.
Sherlock says GOOD-BYE.
Laura says WITH DRAMA IN TOY TOWN HALL.
IT'S GETTING BETTER.
Lucas says COME ON, TOYS.
Laura says I HAD NO IDEA IT WOULD BE THE
CAT.
Lucas says ME NEITHER, BUT THEY SOLVED
IT.
THEY REALLY FIGURED IT OUT.
Laura says THEY DID.
Lucas says TOMORROW WE'RE GOING TO
FIGURE OUT THE SCIENCE BEHIND
BLACK HOLES.
Laura says THAT'S TRUE.
WE'RE TALKING ALL ABOUT SPACE
AND BLACK HOLES.
Lucas says CALL IN WITH YOUR QUESTIONS,
SKYPE, FACETIME.
WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.
Laura plays the ukulele and they sing a song that goes SO LONG, SEE YOU LATER.

GREATER.
Lucas says ASTROPHYSICIST IN TOMORROW,

The song continues SO LONG, SAYONORA.
