Title: Mojo Swoptops.
[Gentle music plays]
Episode title: Run Away Tour. At the Swop Shop, cobwebs cover the shop horn and command centre computer. Black marks stain the floor. Bo walks over to Mojo with a bucket. Text reads, “Written by Samantha Martin. Directed by Dominic Minns.”
Bo says, WHOA, MOJO. IT'S A BIT OF A MESS IN HERE.
[Mojo gasping]
Mojo says, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.
Bo says, IT'S TIME FOR...
Mojo and Bo both say, A SWOP SHOP CLEAN UP!
[Upbeat music plays]
Bo ties a large brush to the front of Mojo.
[Mojo gasping]
Mojo drives around the shop. Bo rides on the back of Mojo with a duster in each hand. Together, they clean the shop. Bo dusts tools hanging by a work table and swipes away cobwebs on a wall. Mojo sweeps the floor. Bo dusts the command centre computer.
[Tires squealing]
Mojo skids to a stop.
Mojo says, WELL, THAT'S THAT SORTED.
Bo says, JUST ONE LAST BIT.
Mojo drives over to the horn and Bo dusts away the cobweb.
[Bo sighing happily]
[Horn honking loudly]
A cloud of dust bursts out of the horn.
Bo yelps, AH!
[Horn blaring]
Bo presses a button on the command centre computer and answers a call. He dusts himself off and walks over to Mojo.
Bo says, MOJO SWOPTOPS. HELPING YOU IS WHAT WE DO!
On a video call, Preston says, AH, GOOD MORNING BO, AND MOJO! IT'S ME, PRESTON. AS YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD...
[Preston briefly chuckling]
Preston says, ...TODAY, I'M LEADING A ROLLING TOUR OF THE AMAZING SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF SWOPPITON.
Mojo says, NOPE. DID NOT HEAR THAT.
Preston says, OH. WELL, I AM. NOW, I HAVE SO MANY FASCINATING SWOPPITON FACTS TO SHARE, BUT NOWHERE TO SHARE THEM FROM. I NEED TO BE UP HIGH WHERE I CAN LEAD THE TOUR AND MY STORIES CAN BE ENJOYED BY ALL.
Bo says, HANG TIGHT, PRESTON. WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
He presses a big red button.
[Beeping]
[Funky music plays]
The open skylight closes and the lights turn on. Bo grabs his controller, and the Swop Shop Swoptop program loads on the computer.
[Beeping]
Bo scrolls through different tops for Mojo.
[Beeping]
Bo says, HM. THE PERFECT TOP TO GET PRESTON UP HIGH
He scrolls from the bulldozer top to the helicopter top.
Mojo says, OH, CHOPPER TOP!
Bo says, THAT'S TOO HIGH.
Mojo scrolls to a top with wings.
Mojo says, OH, JET TOP.
Bo says, THAT'S EVEN HIGHER!
Mojo says, OH.
Bo keeps scrolling.
Mojo says, OH, OH! CHOPPER TOP.
Bo says, UH, YOU SAID THAT ALREADY.
Mojo frowns.
Bo says HM. WHY DON'T WE TRY...
He presses the middle button on the controller.
[Beeping]
[Mojo and Bo gasping]
Mojo and Bo say, IT'S TIME TO... SWOP THAT TOP!
[Intense music plays]
Mojo zooms around to a spotlight in the middle of the room. A car lift lifts Mojo. Using his controller, Bo swops Mojo’s top. Grabber claws pop out of the floor and ceiling, and Bo removes Mojo’s car wing. Bo swops Mojo’s tires and adds a bar with a horn.
[Whirring]
[Clanking]
A light turns from red to green. Bo jumps in the driver’s seat and puts on his seat belt. He and Mojo grin. The shop garage door opens, and Mojo races out of the shop with a lift bucket top.
Mojo and Bo cheer, CHERRY PICKER!
They speed down the street.
[Engine roaring]
[Tires squealing]
Mojo and Bo join Preston and his tour group outside Town Hall. The tour group includes Tao, Mayor Sunita, Nan, Dot and Fabio. They all wear helmets and stand on one-wheel scooters. Bo jumps out of Mojo.
Preston says, AH, EXCELLENT. YOU ARE JUST IN TIME. MY TOUR'S ABOUT TO START.
Bo says, RIGHT-O, PRESTON. NEED A LIFT?
Mojo wiggles the cherry picker bucket.
Bo says, HEE-HEE! GET IT?
[Celebratory music plays]
Mojo lifts Preston in the cherry picker bucket.
Preston says, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO YOUR TERRIFIC TOUR OF SUPER SWOPPITON!
Fabio says, OOH!
Dot says, WOW!
Tao says, AWESOME.
Mayor Sunita says, I HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR THIS.
Preston says, NOW, DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR ROLLER SCOOTERS. THEY'RE FULLY AUTOMATIC AND CONTROLLED BY THIS.
He presses a button on a remote control.
[Remote beeping]
A lamp on each of the scooters lights up.
[Scooters chiming]
The scooters roll forward and back.
The tour group says, OH, OH!
Preston says, NOW, PREPARE YOURSELVES, CITIZENS. PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE MOST FASCINATING JOURNEY OF YOUR LIVES.
Mojo slowly drives down the street. The tour group follows on their scooters.
Preston says, PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE MAGIC OF SWOPPITON!
Bo and Mojo lead the group alongside a recycling plant. Flies flutter around piles of boxes and garbage bags.
Preston says, WE COMMENCE OUR TOUR WITH SWOPPITON'S MAGNIFICENT AND THOROUGHLY EXCITING RECYCLING CENTRE.
The tour group rolls past a recycling bin with a stench billowing out.
Preston says, OH, JUST THINK HOW MUCH RUBBISH GOES THROUGH HERE EVERY DAY.
Dot plugs her nose.
Preston says, TRULY A WONDER OF MODERN REFUSE CONTROL.
[Preston sniffing]
Preston says, OOH, AND ALL THAT SMELL.
Elsewhere in Swoppiton, Mojo slowly continues down the street toward a building with a blue door. Bo sits in the driver’s seat with his eyes closed.
Preston says, AND HERE WE HAVE THE MYSTERIOUS BUILDING WITH NO DOOR. WHAT COULD ITS PURPOSE BE?
The tour group looks bored.
Preston says, UH… OH! OH, WELL, I SEE IT HAS A DOOR NOW.
Fabio’s eyes close. He jolts awake.
[Preston laughing]
Preston says, BUT WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE BEHIND IT?
The tour group passes the door.
[Toilet flushing]
Mojo leads the group toward a worn-down car wash. A sign hangs broken off a pole, and rust stains the garage door.
Preston says, AND HERE WE HAVE SWOPPITON'S STATE-OF-THE-ART CAR WASH.
The tour group sleeps against the handles of their scooters.
[People snoring]
Preston says, NOW, IT MIGHT BE CLOSED TODAY, BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT WERE IT OPEN, YOU WOULD BE –
[Alarm sounding]
Lights on the car wash turn green. The tour group wakes up.
[Snorting]
Fabio says, HUH?
Nan says, OOH, LOOK DOTTIE, LOOK!
Tao says, OOH!
[Alarm sounding]
The car wash garage door opens. Inside, colourful lights flash around tall sponges.
[Angelic music plays]
[Tour group gasping]
Fabio says, OH!
He rubs his hands together.
Dot says, SOMETHING'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN!
Filo, a delivery car, drives up.
[Tires screeching]
Filo backs into the car wash. Everyone looks at Filo.
Filo looks around and says, MORNING, EVERYBODY.
The car wash garage door closes.
[Door slamming]
The tour group groans, AW!
Preston says, NOW, FOR OUR NEXT ATTRACTION, WE HAVE A –
[Mayor Sunita clears her throat]
[Record screeching]
Mayor Sunita says, PERHAPS THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD PLACE TO FINISH THE TOUR, PRESTON.
[Mayor Sunita laughing shyly]
Mojo and Bo look shocked. They glance toward Preston in the cherry picker bucket.
Preston says, BUT, BUT, THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER WONDERS TO SEE! THE POST OFFICE, THE CARDBOARD BOX FACTORY, THE TREE THAT'S SLIGHTLY CROOKED. DON'T YOU WANNA SEE THE TREE?
Dot says, SO BORED!
[Dot gasping]
Dot looks toward a button on a stand by the car wash. The button sparkles.
[Chiming]
Dot says, NOT BORED ANY MORE!
She runs over to the stand.
Dot cheers, BUTTON!
She presses the button.
[Metal slamming]
Green lights on the car wash go out.
[The rest of the tour group gasping]
[Alarm buzzing]
[Preston yelping]
Preston says, NO, IT'S OKAY. STAY CALM. WE, WE… WE-WE CAN CONTINUE THE TOUR AS LONG AS WE DON'T PUSH THAT BUTTON AGAIN.
Dot says, BUTTON, BUTTON, BUTTON, BUTTON, BU –
She repeatedly presses the button.
[Snapping]
The button springs out of the stand.
[Alarm blaring]
The car wash lights flash red. Everyone looks through the open door at Filo, who is covered in bubbles.
[Filo squealing]
Filo drives away, and the door closes.
[Metal clanking]
The lights stop flashing, and water pours out the roof.
[Splashing]
The water soaks Preston.
Mayor Sunita says, UH, PRESTON, IS THIS PART OF THE TOUR?
Tao says, I HOPE SO. IT'S FINALLY GETTING EXCITING.
[Zapping]
Preston glances at his scooter remote. Water spurts out of it.
Preston says, OH, NO! MY SCOOTER CONTROLLER!
The green light on the remote turns red. The lights on the scooters turn red.
[Scooters chiming]
[Tour group gasping]
The scooters steer Mayor Sunita, Fabio, Tao and Nan away from the car wash.
[Tour group yelping]
Dot jumps on her scooter and follows the other people on scooters.
[Tour group yelling]
Preston says, NO! NO! COME BACK!
He presses the button on the scooter remote. Mojo lowers the cherry picker bucket onto the street.
Preston says, OH, THEY'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!
He stumbles out of the bucket.
Preston says, THE TOUR IS THIS WAY!
He runs after his tour group.
Mojo says, IT'S A RUNAWAY TOUR NOW, PRESTON.
[Tour group wailing]
Preston says, DON'T WORRY, EVERYBODY. I'LL HAVE THIS SORTED OUT IN A JIFFY!
Bo says, OKAY, MOJO, WE'VE GOTTA HELP PRESTON CAPTURE EVERYBODY.
Mojo says, NOT IN A CHERRY PICKER WE WON'T. WE NEED TO SCOOP UP THOSE SCOOTERS BEFORE THEY GET INTO TROUBLE.
Bo says, IT COULD BE TIME FOR A HOT SWOP!
[Intense music plays]
At the Swop Shop, Bo swops Mojo’s cherry picker top for a large bucket. With his controller, Bo closes a door on the back of the bucket and puts lights on top of Mojo. The shop light turns red to green, and Bo jumps in his seat.
[Clanking]
[Whirring]
Bo puts on his seat belt, and the garage door opens. As a dump truck, Mojo drives out with Bo.
[Tires screeching]
Mojo and Bo cheer, DUMPER TOP!
They race into town.
[Tires squealing]
Mojo and Bo pull up to a three-way stop.
[Tires screeching]
Mojo and Bo frown and look around.
Bo says, THEY COULD BE ANYWHERE.
Mojo says, WE'LL NEVER FIND THEM!
[Tour group yelling]
The tour group rolls past Mojo and Bo on their scooters.
Mojo and Bo say, FOUND THEM!
Bo says, NOW, LET'S CATCH THEM!
Mojo says, MOJO IS GO-GO!
[Upbeat music plays]
Bo pulls a lever, and Mojo races after the tour group.
[Tires squealing]
[Tour group yelling]
The tour group zooms around Swoppiton. Mojo and Bo follow them from one street to another.
[Tour group yelling]
Mojo and Bo hide against a building.
[Tires screeching]
The tour group races past Mojo and Bo.
[Tour group yelling and laughing]
Mojo and Bo race after the tour group.
[Panting]
Preston runs out of another street with the scooter remote.
Preston says, STEADY.
He leans forward.
Preston says, OH, WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
He looks around.
[Dramatic music plays]
Elsewhere in Swoppiton, the tour group races over a hill. Driving backward, Mojo and Bo follow them.
Tao cheers, WOO-HOO-HOO! WHOA-HO, YEAH!
Mayor Sunita yells, MOJO, BO, HOW DO WE STOP?
Bo says, YOU DON'T HAVE TO!
He pulls a lever, and the dump truck door drops open onto the street, forming a ramp.
Bo says, WE'LL CATCH YOU!
Mojo says, SO, WE'RE SOMEHOW SPEEDING BACKWARDS AND SCOOPING UP SCOOTERS? IT SOUNDS REALLY, REALLY HARD.
Mojo backs up toward Mayor Sunita and scoops her scooter into the dump truck bucket.
Mayor Sunita yelps, WHOA!
She stumbles into the bucket.
Mayor Sunita says, PHEW!
Bo says, WHOA. GOOD JOB, MOJO! YOU SCOOPED UP THE MAYOR!
[Mojo giggling]
Mojo says, LIKE I WAS SAYING. THIS IS REALLY, REALLY EASY!
[Dramatic music continues]
The rest of the tour group, Fabio, Nan, Dot and Tao, continue down the street on their scooters.
Bo leans out his window and says, OH, NO! THEY'RE HEADING FOR THE SOFT PLAY CENTRE.
Mojo says, OKAY, THIS JUST GOT HARD AGAIN.
[Tao gasping]
Tao says, THIS TOUR IS THE COOLEST.
Mojo and Bo scoop Tao into the dump truck bucket.
Tao yelps, WHOA!
He stumbles into the back of the bucket beside Mayor Sunita.
Tao says, ACE.
He gives a thumbs up. Nan, Dot and Fabio swerve around a traffic barrier. Fabio rolls into the dump truck bucket with Mayor Sunita and Tao.
Fabio yelps, OOH!
Mojo asks, HAVE WE GOT EVERYBODY?
Bo says, WE NEED TO GO FASTER, MOJO!
[Nan screaming]
Dot cheers, WOO-HOO!
Nan and Dot race toward the soft play centre at the end of the road and swerve around more traffic barriers.
[Nan whimpering]
Still driving backward, Mojo dodges the barriers.
[Tires screeching]
[Tao yelling and laughing]
Dot rolls onto the dump truck's bucket door. She bounces up the door and lands in Fabio’s arms.
Dot cheers, AGAIN!
Nan continues toward the multi-level play centre.
[Nan yelling]
Leaning out the window, Bo shouts, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF ROAD!
Nan rolls backward up the dump truck door and into the bucket with the others.
[Nan laughing]
Bo says, BRAKE, MOJO! BRAKE!
Bo presses the brake pedal. Mojo brakes and spins around.
[Tires squealing]
Mojo rolls into a large pile of sand in front of the soft play centre and launches Mayor Sunita, Fabio, Tao, Nan and Dot out of the bucket. Still on their scooters, everyone from the tour group flies through the air onto different levels of the play structure.
[Nan yelling]
Tao shouts, WOO-HOO-HOO!
Fabio shouts, WHOA-HO! WOO!
Tao cheers, YEAH! WHOA-HOO!
Dot cheers, YAY!
Sand fills Mojo’s dump truck bucket. Clouds of sand billow around Mojo and Bo. The sand settles, and Bo jumps out of Mojo.
Bo says, OH. WHOOPSIE.
He and Mojo look up at the tall structure.
Mojo says, THAT'S A BIG WHOOPSIE!
Mojo and Bo watch the tour group roll along the edges of the structure. Nan and Dot roll along the top level, with Fabio below them on the fourth level, Tao on the third, and Mayor Sunita on the second.
[Dramatic music plays]
Mojo says, THAT'S A REALLY BIG WHOOPSIE!
Mayor Sunita and Tao roll toward opposite ends of the structure.
Bo asks, READY TO PLAY CATCH, MOJO?
Mojo says, YOU GO THAT WAY. I'LL GO THIS WAY.
Mojo goes left toward Mayor Sunita, and Bo goes right toward Tao.
[Intense music plays]
Mayor Sunita whimpers, AH-AH-AH!
She rolls off the play structure.
Mayor Sunita yells, WAH!
She drops down a blue tube. Mojo backs up to the tube and catches Mayor Sunita in the dump truck bucket. A cloud of sand bursts out.
Mojo says, GOTCHA!
On the other side of the structure, Tao reaches the edge.
Tao whimpers, WAH-WAH-WAH-WAH-WHOA!
Bo lifts the bottom of a yellow tube.
[Bo grunting]
Tao falls down the yellow tube and soars out the bottom.
He shouts, WA-HOO!
Mojo races to the sidewalk and catches Tao in the dump truck bucket.
Tao yells, WOO!
Mojo says, OH, GOT YOU TOO!
Bo says, NICE CATCH, MOJO!
He glances at the play structure.
Bo says, YIKES! HANG ON!
Fabio rolls off the structure.
[Fabio yelling]
Bo runs and grabs the blue tube.
[Bo grunting]
[Fabio yelling]
Fabio falls down the tube and through the air.

[Mojo gasping]
Bo follows Mojo’s gaze.
[Bo gasping]
On top of the play structure, Nan rolls toward the end.
Nan whimpers, OH-HOO-HOO!
Dot rolls toward the other end. Bo kicks up a sidewalk sign and props the blue tube on top. Bo runs toward the other side of the structure, and Nan rolls off the top.
[Nan wailing]
Dot rolls off the structure.
She cheers, WOO-HOO!
Mojo speeds toward the structure.
[Tires squealing]
Bo holds the end of the yellow tube on his shoulders.
[Bo grunting]
Nan drops down the blue tube, and Dot drops down the yellow tube.
[Bo grunting]
Nan and Dot soar out of the tubes. They grab onto each other mid-air and fall.
Nan wails, WOO!
[Dot screaming]
Mojo skids to a stop under Nan and Dot and catches them in the dump truck bucket. Nan and Dot glance at Mayor Sunita, Fabio and Tao among piles of sand.
Dot cheers, YAY!
Tao cheers, WOO-HOO. OOWIE!
Bo lets go of the yellow tube.
He tiredly cheers, WOO-HOO.
Bo flops onto his back.
[Thudding]
Preston runs up to the play centre.
He says, OH, NO! THEY'VE GONE. MY TOUR IS LOST FOREVER!
[Dump truck hissing]
Mojo lowers the dump truck door, and everyone from Preston’s tour group slides out with the sand and scooters.
[Nan laughing]
[Dot giggling]
Preston says, OH, GOOD. ALL TOGETHER I SEE. THEN LET'S FINISH THE TOUR, SHALL WE?
The tour group dusts sand off their arms.
Preston says, RAISE YOUR HANDS IF YOU LOVE FIRE HYDRANTS. NOBODY? REALLY? WELL, NEVER MIND. YOU WILL AFTER I SHOW YOU THIS ONE.
Preston leads the group down the sidewalk. The tour group leaves their scooters behind.
Mayor Sunita cheers, WHOO! YEAH!
Dot cheers, YAY!
Mayor Sunita says, YOU ARE A CREDIT TO SWOPPITON.
Mojo cheers, YEAH! WOO-HOO!
Bo cheers, YEAH-HA-HA!
Mojo tiredly cheers, YEAH.
[Mojo and Bo sighing]
Bo says, SO, MOJO, DO YOU WANNA CARRY ON WITH PRESTON'S TOUR?

Mayor Sunita says, PERHAPS THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD PLACE TO FINISH THE TOUR, PRESTON.
[Mayor Sunita laughing shyly]
Mojo and Bo look shocked. They glance toward Preston in the cherry picker bucket.
Preston says, BUT, BUT, THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER WONDERS TO SEE! THE POST OFFICE, THE CARDBOARD BOX FACTORY, THE TREE THAT'S SLIGHTLY CROOKED. DON'T YOU WANNA SEE THE TREE?
Dot says, SO BORED!
[Dot gasping]
Dot looks toward a button on a stand by the car wash. The button sparkles.
[Chiming]
Dot says, NOT BORED ANY MORE!
She runs over to the stand.
Dot cheers, BUTTON!
She presses the button.
[Metal slamming]
Green lights on the car wash go out.
[The rest of the tour group gasping]
[Alarm buzzing]
[Preston yelping]
Preston says, NO, IT'S OKAY. STAY CALM. WE, WE… WE-WE CAN CONTINUE THE TOUR AS LONG AS WE DON'T PUSH THAT BUTTON AGAIN.
Dot says, BUTTON, BUTTON, BUTTON, BUTTON, BU –
She repeatedly presses the button.
[Snapping]
The button springs out of the stand.
[Alarm blaring]
The car wash lights flash red. Everyone looks through the open door at Filo, who is covered in bubbles.
[Filo squealing]
Filo drives away, and the door closes.
[Metal clanking]
The lights stop flashing, and water pours out the roof.
[Splashing]
The water soaks Preston.
Mayor Sunita says, UH, PRESTON, IS THIS PART OF THE TOUR?
Tao says, I HOPE SO. IT'S FINALLY GETTING EXCITING.
[Zapping]
Preston glances at his scooter remote. Water spurts out of it.
Preston says, OH, NO! MY SCOOTER CONTROLLER!
The green light on the remote turns red. The lights on the scooters turn red.
[Scooters chiming]
[Tour group gasping]
The scooters steer Mayor Sunita, Fabio, Tao and Nan away from the car wash.
[Tour group yelping]
Dot jumps on her scooter and follows the other people on scooters.
[Tour group yelling]
Preston says, NO! NO! COME BACK!
He presses the button on the scooter remote. Mojo lowers the cherry picker bucket onto the street.
Preston says, OH, THEY'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!
He stumbles out of the bucket.
Preston says, THE TOUR IS THIS WAY!
He runs after his tour group.
Mojo says, IT'S A RUNAWAY TOUR NOW, PRESTON.
[Tour group wailing]
Preston says, DON'T WORRY, EVERYBODY. I'LL HAVE THIS SORTED OUT IN A JIFFY!
Bo says, OKAY, MOJO, WE'VE GOTTA HELP PRESTON CAPTURE EVERYBODY.
Mojo says, NOT IN A CHERRY PICKER WE WON'T. WE NEED TO SCOOP UP THOSE SCOOTERS BEFORE THEY GET INTO TROUBLE.
Bo says, IT COULD BE TIME FOR A HOT SWOP!
[Intense music plays]
At the Swop Shop, Bo swops Mojo’s cherry picker top for a large bucket. With his controller, Bo closes a door on the back of the bucket and puts lights on top of Mojo. The shop light turns red to green, and Bo jumps in his seat.
[Clanking]
[Whirring]
Bo puts on his seat belt, and the garage door opens. As a dump truck, Mojo drives out with Bo.
[Tires screeching]
Mojo and Bo cheer, DUMPER TOP!
They race into town.
[Tires squealing]
Mojo and Bo pull up to a three-way stop.
[Tires screeching]
Mojo and Bo frown and look around.
Bo says, THEY COULD BE ANYWHERE.
Mojo says, WE'LL NEVER FIND THEM!
[Tour group yelling]
The tour group rolls past Mojo and Bo on their scooters.
Mojo and Bo say, FOUND THEM!
Bo says, NOW, LET'S CATCH THEM!
Mojo says, MOJO IS GO-GO!
[Upbeat music plays]
Bo pulls a lever, and Mojo races after the tour group.
[Tires squealing]
[Tour group yelling]
The tour group zooms around Swoppiton. Mojo and Bo follow them from one street to another.
[Tour group yelling]
Mojo and Bo hide against a building.
[Tires screeching]
The tour group races past Mojo and Bo.
[Tour group yelling and laughing]
Mojo and Bo race after the tour group.
[Panting]
Preston runs out of another street with the scooter remote.
Preston says, STEADY.
He leans forward.
Preston says, OH, WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
He looks around.
[Dramatic music plays]
Elsewhere in Swoppiton, the tour group races over a hill. Driving backward, Mojo and Bo follow them.
Tao cheers, WOO-HOO-HOO! WHOA-HO, YEAH!
Mayor Sunita yells, MOJO, BO, HOW DO WE STOP?
Bo says, YOU DON'T HAVE TO!
He pulls a lever, and the dump truck door drops open onto the street, forming a ramp.
Bo says, WE'LL CATCH YOU!
Mojo says, SO, WE'RE SOMEHOW SPEEDING BACKWARDS AND SCOOPING UP SCOOTERS? IT SOUNDS REALLY, REALLY HARD.
Mojo backs up toward Mayor Sunita and scoops her scooter into the dump truck bucket.
Mayor Sunita yelps, WHOA!
She stumbles into the bucket.
Mayor Sunita says, PHEW!
Bo says, WHOA. GOOD JOB, MOJO! YOU SCOOPED UP THE MAYOR!
[Mojo giggling]
Mojo says, LIKE I WAS SAYING. THIS IS REALLY, REALLY EASY!
[Dramatic music continues]
The rest of the tour group, Fabio, Nan, Dot and Tao, continue down the street on their scooters.
Bo leans out his window and says, OH, NO! THEY'RE HEADING FOR THE SOFT PLAY CENTRE.
Mojo says, OKAY, THIS JUST GOT HARD AGAIN.
[Tao gasping]
Tao says, THIS TOUR IS THE COOLEST.
Mojo and Bo scoop Tao into the dump truck bucket.
Tao yelps, WHOA!
He stumbles into the back of the bucket beside Mayor Sunita.
Tao says, ACE.
He gives a thumbs up. Nan, Dot and Fabio swerve around a traffic barrier. Fabio rolls into the dump truck bucket with Mayor Sunita and Tao.
Fabio yelps, OOH!
Mojo asks, HAVE WE GOT EVERYBODY?
Bo says, WE NEED TO GO FASTER, MOJO!
[Nan screaming]
Dot cheers, WOO-HOO!
Nan and Dot race toward the soft play centre at the end of the road and swerve around more traffic barriers.
[Nan whimpering]
Still driving backward, Mojo dodges the barriers.
[Tires screeching]
[Tao yelling and laughing]
Dot rolls onto the dump truck's bucket door. She bounces up the door and lands in Fabio’s arms.
Dot cheers, AGAIN!
Nan continues toward the multi-level play centre.
[Nan yelling]
Leaning out the window, Bo shouts, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF ROAD!
Nan rolls backward up the dump truck door and into the bucket with the others.
[Nan laughing]
Bo says, BRAKE, MOJO! BRAKE!
Bo presses the brake pedal. Mojo brakes and spins around.
[Tires squealing]
Mojo rolls into a large pile of sand in front of the soft play centre and launches Mayor Sunita, Fabio, Tao, Nan and Dot out of the bucket. Still on their scooters, everyone from the tour group flies through the air onto different levels of the play structure.
[Nan yelling]
Tao shouts, WOO-HOO-HOO!
Fabio shouts, WHOA-HO! WOO!
Tao cheers, YEAH! WHOA-HOO!
Dot cheers, YAY!
Sand fills Mojo’s dump truck bucket. Clouds of sand billow around Mojo and Bo. The sand settles, and Bo jumps out of Mojo.
Bo says, OH. WHOOPSIE.
He and Mojo look up at the tall structure.
Mojo says, THAT'S A BIG WHOOPSIE!
Mojo and Bo watch the tour group roll along the edges of the structure. Nan and Dot roll along the top level, with Fabio below them on the fourth level, Tao on the third, and Mayor Sunita on the second.
[Dramatic music plays]
Mojo says, THAT'S A REALLY BIG WHOOPSIE!
Mayor Sunita and Tao roll toward opposite ends of the structure.
Bo asks, READY TO PLAY CATCH, MOJO?
Mojo says, YOU GO THAT WAY. I'LL GO THIS WAY.
Mojo goes left toward Mayor Sunita, and Bo goes right toward Tao.
[Intense music plays]
Mayor Sunita whimpers, AH-AH-AH!
She rolls off the play structure.
Mayor Sunita yells, WAH!
She drops down a blue tube. Mojo backs up to the tube and catches Mayor Sunita in the dump truck bucket. A cloud of sand bursts out.
Mojo says, GOTCHA!
On the other side of the structure, Tao reaches the edge.
Tao whimpers, WAH-WAH-WAH-WAH-WHOA!
Bo lifts the bottom of a yellow tube.
[Bo grunting]
Tao falls down the yellow tube and soars out the bottom.
He shouts, WA-HOO!
Mojo races to the sidewalk and catches Tao in the dump truck bucket.
Tao yells, WOO!
Mojo says, OH, GOT YOU TOO!
Bo says, NICE CATCH, MOJO!
He glances at the play structure.
Bo says, YIKES! HANG ON!
Fabio rolls off the structure.
[Fabio yelling]
Bo runs and grabs the blue tube.
[Bo grunting]
[Fabio yelling]
Fabio falls down the tube and through the air.

Mojo says, AND YOU!
Mojo glances toward the soft play structure.
[Mojo gasping]
Bo follows Mojo’s gaze.
[Bo gasping]
On top of the play structure, Nan rolls toward the end.
Nan whimpers, OH-HOO-HOO!
Dot rolls toward the other end. Bo kicks up a sidewalk sign and props the blue tube on top. Bo runs toward the other side of the structure, and Nan rolls off the top.
[Nan wailing]
Dot rolls off the structure.
She cheers, WOO-HOO!
Mojo speeds toward the structure.
[Tires squealing]
Bo holds the end of the yellow tube on his shoulders.
[Bo grunting]
Nan drops down the blue tube, and Dot drops down the yellow tube.
[Bo grunting]
Nan and Dot soar out of the tubes. They grab onto each other mid-air and fall.
Nan wails, WOO!
[Dot screaming]
Mojo skids to a stop under Nan and Dot and catches them in the dump truck bucket. Nan and Dot glance at Mayor Sunita, Fabio and Tao among piles of sand.
Dot cheers, YAY!
Tao cheers, WOO-HOO. OOWIE!
Bo lets go of the yellow tube.
He tiredly cheers, WOO-HOO.
Bo flops onto his back.
[Thudding]
Preston runs up to the play centre.
He says, OH, NO! THEY'VE GONE. MY TOUR IS LOST FOREVER!
[Dump truck hissing]
Mojo lowers the dump truck door, and everyone from Preston’s tour group slides out with the sand and scooters.
[Nan laughing]
[Dot giggling]
Preston says, OH, GOOD. ALL TOGETHER I SEE. THEN LET'S FINISH THE TOUR, SHALL WE?
The tour group dusts sand off their arms.
Preston says, RAISE YOUR HANDS IF YOU LOVE FIRE HYDRANTS. NOBODY? REALLY? WELL, NEVER MIND. YOU WILL AFTER I SHOW YOU THIS ONE.
Preston leads the group down the sidewalk. The tour group leaves their scooters behind.
Mayor Sunita cheers, WHOO! YEAH!
Dot cheers, YAY!
Mayor Sunita says, YOU ARE A CREDIT TO SWOPPITON.
Mojo cheers, YEAH! WOO-HOO!
Bo cheers, YEAH-HA-HA!
Mojo tiredly cheers, YEAH.
[Mojo and Bo sighing]
Bo says, SO, MOJO, DO YOU WANNA CARRY ON WITH PRESTON'S TOUR?
Mojo says, I DO NOT.
[Mojo and Bo laughing]
