[Gentle music plays]
Episode title: Watch the Birdie.
In the Swop Shop, Mojo and Bo smile. Text reads, “Written by Dave Ingham. Directed by Dominic Minns.”
Mojo says, TAKE THE PHOTO, BO. MY SMILE IS ACHING.
Bo says, WE'VE GOT TO LOOK JUST RIGHT FOR THE SWOPTOP WEBSITE, MOJO.
Bo and Moji smile at a camera on a selfie stick. Bo holds up two fingers.
Bo says, WATCH THE BIRDIE!
[Horn honking loudly]
[Camera clicking]
[Mojo and Bo yelling]
Mojo and Bo jump in surprise. Bo drops the selfie stick and grabs it before it hits the floor. A picture shows Mojo and Bo looking surprised.
[Mojo and Bo laughing]
[Horn blaring]
Bo presses a button on the shop command centre computer and answers a video call from Preston.
Bo says, MOJO SWOPTOPS. HELPING YOU IS WHAT WE DO! HEY, PRESTON. WHAT'S UP?
Preston says, I'M BUZZING, BO! THERE'S A JIBBERJACK RESTING ON THE TOWN HALL ROOF!
Mojo says, THAT'S AMAZING. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! ALSO, WHAT'S A JACKERJIB – I MEAN, A JICKERJAB. UH, JOKERJIB? UM, JIMJIMJAMMER. I, UH…
Preston holds open a book with a picture of a pink and purple feathered bird with a long beak.
Preston says, THE JIBBERJACK IS A VERY RARE BIRD, AND I NEED SOME SWOPTOP HELP TO PULL MY BIRD-WATCHING BALLOON CLOSE ENOUGH FOR A PHOTO.
Preston holds up a camera with a long lens.
Bo says, YOU CAN COUNT ON US. WE'LL BE RIGHT OVER!
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]
Mojo says, SO, UM, BIG BIRD BALLOON.
Bo scrolls through different tops for Mojo.
Mojo asks, COPPER TOP?
Bo says, HM, IT'LL SCARE THE BIRD AWAY.
Mojo says, OH, I KNOW, I KNOW. UH, FIRE TOP?
Bo scrolls to a fire truck top that shows Mojo with blue lights and a ladder.
Bo says, COULD BE, BUT IF IT'S A BIG BALLOON, WE MIGHT NEED SOMETHING WITH SOME GRIP.
Mojo says, SOMETHING WITH SOME LIFT!
Mojo presses the middle button on his controller.
[Beeping]
[Bo and Mojo gasping]
Mojo and Bo both say, IT'S TIME TO… SWOP THAT TOP!
[Intense music plays]
[Tires squealing]
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 replaces Mojo’s wheels with tracks. Bo adds a bucket to the front of Mojo and a horn and light to Mojo’s roof.
[Clanking]
[Horn honking]
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 rolls out as a bulldozer with an excavator scoop attachment.
Mojo and Bo both cheer, DOZER TOP!
They drive through Swoppiton. They drive by Fabio, who looks at his phone; Jackson, who carries Felix; and Nan and Dot, who carry ice cream cones.
Mojo calls out, PRESTON!
Bo says, PRESTON?
Mojo and Bo both yell, PRESTON!
Bo hops out of Mojo.
He calls out, COOEE!
Mojo and Bo both yell, PRESTON!
[Squawking]
Mojo and Bo frown. Above them, a Jibberjack flies to a banner hanging on a building and perches on one foot.
[Angelic singing]
[Jibberjack squawking]
Mojo says, WELL, I GUESS THAT'S THE JIBBERJACK BIRD.
Bo says, YEAH, BUT WHERE'S PRESTON?
Mojo and Bo look around. Dot licks her ice cream. Jackson pets Felix.
[Slurping]
Nan, Dot, Jackson, Felix and Fabio glance upward.
[Gasping]
Mojo and Bo follow everyone’s gaze.
[Mojo and Bo gasping]
[Dramatic music plays]
A giant red balloon glides over the buildings toward the group below. Everyone stares in shock.
[Jackson gasping]
[Felix oinking]
[Nan and Dot gasping]
Dot’s scoop of ice cream falls off her cone.
[Ice cream splatting]
[Bo gasping]
[Jibberjack squawking]
Preston pops up in a basket on top of the balloon.
Preston says, COOEE!
Mojo and Bo both say, PRESTON?
Preston asks, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY MAGNIFICENT BIRD BALLOON?
Bo says, IT'S, UH...
He glances at Mojo.
Bo says, …IT'S QUITE BIG, PRESTON.
Mojo says, AND IT DOESN'T LOOK MUCH LIKE A BIRD.
[Jibberjack squawking]
Preston says, JUMPING JIBBERJACKS! THERE HE IS! QUICK, TAKE THIS. OOH, WE'VE GOT HIM RIGHT WHERE WE WANT HIM.
Preston throws a rope down to Mojo and Bo.
Bo grabs the rope and says, GOT IT!
He ties it around the arm of Mojo’s excavator scoop and jumps in the driver’s seat.
Mojo says, MOJO IS GO-GO!
Bo presses the gas pedal, and Mojo tries to tow Preston’s Bird Balloon.
[Engine whirring]
[Rope snapping straight]
[Mojo grunting]
[Camera clicking]
Preston says, COME ON, YOU TWO! PUT YOUR BACKS INTO IT!
He looks down toward Mojo and Bo.
Mojo says, IT'S A VERY HEAVY BALLOON, PRESTON.
The Jibberjack flies off the banner and toward Preston.
Preston says, BIT FURTHER! A BIT FURTHER!
The Jibberjack flies over Preston. Preston takes pictures of the bird with his camera.
[Camera clicking]
Preston falls backward. He jumps to his feet and looks down toward Mojo.
Preston says, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. QUICK, HE'S GONE THE OTHER WAY.
The Bird Balloon narrowly avoids bumping into Town Hall.
Preston says, THE OTHER WAY!
Mojo tows the Bird Balloon in the opposite direction.
Mojo says, OKAY, PRESTON!
Bo says, WE'RE DOING OUR BEST!
[Jibberjack squawking]
Preston takes pictures of the Jibberjack.
[Camera clicking]
The Jibberjack flies over Preston.
Preston says, OH, HE'S GONE THE OTHER WAY NOW. SO… SO, BACK WE GO. BACK WE GO!
[Mojo grunting]
Mojo digs into the ground with the bulldozer bucket and drags the Bird Balloon back toward Town Hall.
Bo says, THIS IS A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR A PHOTO OF A BIRD.
[Jibberjack squawking]
The Jibberjack perches on the banner outside Town Hall. The Bird Balloon slowly floats toward it.
[Jibberjack squawking]
The Jibberjack flies away.
Preston says, OH, NO. HE'S FLAPPED OFF AGAIN.
The Bird Ballon bumps into a column on Town Hall.
[Clanking]
Town Hall shakes. Preston stumbles backward and falls.
[Preston yelping]
The Bird Balloon bounces off the column.
Bo says, LET'S GO, MOJO!
He and Mojo turn around toward the Jibberjack.
Preston says, FOLLOW THAT BIRD!
Mojo tows the Bird Balloon down the street. Preston looks down from the basket.
Preston says, THERE IT IS! STRAIGHT AHEAD!
[Dramatic music plays]
The Jibberjack flies down the street and over the buildings on either side.
[Jibberjack squawking]
Mojo slowly follows the Jibberjack.
Preston says, NEARLY THERE, FASTER. FASTER.
He aims his camera toward the Jibberjack.
Mojo says, WE'RE GIVING IT ALL WE GOT, PRESTON!
Bo says, LOOK, THERE IT GOES! RIGHT BETWEEN THOSE SUSPICIOUSLY TALL AND NARROW BUILDINGS.
Mojo tows the Bird Balloon toward two tall, close together buildings at the end of the street. The Jibberjack perches on one of the buildings.
Preston says, THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT! WATCH THE BIRDIE.
He looks through his camera’s viewfinder.
Mojo says, THIS IS GOING TO BE TIGHT!
[Dramatic music continues]
Mojo tows the Bird Balloon between the two tall buildings. The balloon squeezes between them. Preston points his camera at the Jibberjack.
[Creaking]
Preston says, COME ON, NEARLY THERE. A LITTLE BIT FURTHER!
Mojo’s bulldozer tracks spin in place.
[Mojo grunting]
The Bird Balloon wobbles in the tight space, and Preston drops his camera.
Preston yelps, WHOA!
Bo shouts, THAT'S IT, PRESTON. WE'RE STUCK. WE JUST CAN'T GO ANY FURTHER.
The back of the Bird Balloon fills with air.
[Bird Balloon squeaking]
The Jibberjack flies away.
Preston says, OH, BUT THE… THE JIBBERJACK! IT'S GETTING AWAY AGAIN!
Bo shouts, IT'S YOUR BALLOON, PRESTON. IT'S JUST TOO BIG.
With the rope tied to Mojo in his hand, Preston stumbles and falls.
Preston yelps, WHOA!
He stands and says, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BALLOON. IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO FOLLOW THE JIBBERJACK. STOP IF YOU WISH, BUT I'M CATCHING UP TO THAT BIRD!
Bo shouts, NO, PRESTON! DON'T LET GO OF THE ROPE!
Preston says, AH-HA! TOO LATE!
He lets go of the rope and stumbles against the basket.
[Preston yelping]
The Bird Balloon jerks backward. Mojo zooms forward.
Mojo and Bo yelp, WHOA!
Preston says, OH, DEAR!
He floats away in the Bird Balloon. Mojo flips over a park bench between two buildings. Bo grips Mojo’s steering wheel. They lie on their sides.
Mojo says, UH-OH. I THINK PRESTON'S A LITTLE BIT BIRD-BRAINED.
Bo says, HM.
He taps his chin.
Bo says, MOJO, I'VE GOT A PLAN. THAT BALLOON'S NOT THE ONLY THING THAT FILLS UP WITH AIR. WE'RE GOING TO NEED A HOT-SWOP!
[Intense music plays]
At the Swop Shop, Bo swops Mojo’s tires for giant tires using his controller and adds parts of a roll cage. Mojo rolls out of the shop.
[Whirring]
Mojo and Bo cheer, MONSTER TOP!
Mojo spins around.
[Tires screeching]
Mojo says, I'M LOVING THE MONSTER TOP, BO, BUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO USE IT TO CATCH A BIRD BALLOON?!
Bo hops out of Mojo and grabs an air hose from the shop. He fills one of Mojo’s tires with more air.
Mojo says, HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Bo asks, READY TO DO SOME BALLOON CATCHING?
He fills another one of Mojo’s tires with more air.
Mojo says, WHATEVER YOU SAY, GOOD BUDDY.
Elsewhere in Swoppiton, Preston zooms through the air.
[Dramatic music plays]
Preston says, STEER, STEER! OH, HOW DO I STEER THIS THING!?
He frantically looks around. The Bird Balloon knocks a chimney cap off a roof, and the cap falls toward Fabio on the sidewalk below.
[Fabio whimpering]
Fabio jumps away and covers his eyes. The cap bounces off the street.
Preston yells down, UH, SORRY!
He says to himself, OH, I COULD BE IN TROUBLE HERE.
Preston shouts, UM, I MAY NEED SOME HELP!
On the street, Bo yells, HOLD TIGHT, PRESTON!
Mojo says, WE'RE STILL NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO CATCH THAT BALLOON, BO!
Bo says, NOT YET WE'RE NOT.
He pulls a lever, and Mojo’s cab drops between the four giant tires.
Mojo says, YIKES! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Bo says, JUST PUTTING A LITTLE SPRING IN YOUR STEP, GOOD BUDDY!
He pushes the lever, and Mojo springs off the ground.
Mojo cheers, WHOA! WOO-HOO!
[Exciting music plays]
Mojo bounces down the street on the giant monster truck tires.
[Mojo cheering and laughing]
Mojo says, PRESTON, WE'RE ONE BOUNCE BEHIND YOU!
Mojo bounces off rooftops.
Preston shouts, I CAN'T STOP!
Mojo catches up with the Bird Balloon.
Mojo says, OKAY, WHAT'S NEXT, BO?
Bo grabs a rope.
He says, LET'S PUT A STRING ON THAT BALLOON!
He lassos a hook on the Bird Balloon.
[Mojo and Bo cheering]
Bo says, GOT IT!
He ties the rope to Mojo.
Bo says, OKAY, MOJO, HIT THE BRAKES!
Mojo breaks and slides off a roof.
[Mojo and Bo shouting]
Mojo lands on the street and slows down the Bird Balloon.
[Tires screeching]
Preston jerks backward over the basket. Upside down, he looks at the pointed spire on the Town Hall. The spire sparkles.
Preston says, AH, I SAY, THE TOWN HALL'S LOOKING A LITTLE BIT SPIKY!
[Dramatic music plays]
[Bo gasping]
Bo says, OH, NO! THE TOWN HALL SPIRE IS GOING TO BURST THE BALLOON!
Mojo says, YIKES! REVERSE!
Mojo’s tires spin backward in place.
[Tires squealing]
The Bird Balloon slowly floats toward the spire.
[Preston gasping]
[Preston stammering]
The Bird Balloon slowly drags Mojo toward Town Hall.
[Mojo grunting]
[Tires squealing]
Bo says, YES. YES! IT'S SLOWING DOWN, MOJO! YOU CAN DO IT!
The Bird Balloon moves closer toward the spire.
[Preston gasping]
Preston closes his eyes. Inches away from the spire, the Bird Ballon stops moving. Preston opens his eyes and relaxes.
Preston says, PHEW.
The Jibberjack flies by.
Preston says, AH-HA!
The Jibberjack perches on top of the Bird Balloon. The Jibberjack’s weight pushes the Bird Balloon toward the spire.
[Preston gasping]
Preston says, OH, DEAR.
Bo shouts, FLY AWAY, BIRD! FLY AWAY!
[Jibberjack squawking]
The spire sparkles.
Bo says, QUICK, MOJO, WE'VE GOT TO GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!
[Mojo grunting]
Mojo reverses and pulls the rope tied to the Bird Balloon tight.
[Preston gasping]
Preston whimpers, MUMMY.
[Dramatic music plays]
The Bird Balloon lowers onto the spire. The spire presses into the balloon, and the balloon stretches around it.
[Balloon stretching]
The balloon stops moving and then pops.
[Loud popping]
[Air hissing]
The Bird Balloon starts to deflate.
Bo says, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
Still tied to Mojo, the Bird Balloon blows around the sky. Bo grabs the rope.
[Mojo and Bo yelling]
The Bird balloon drags Mojo and Bo around Swoppiton. Mojo and Bo crash through a sign above the entrance to the Swoppiton pier.
[Wood snapping]
Bo yells, MOJO!
Mojo says, YES?!
Bo says, WHEN I SAY "JUMP," JUMP!
The deflating Bird Balloon drags Mojo and Ben down the pier.
Bo says, READY? JUMP!
Mojo leaps off the end of the pier.
[Mojo and Bo shouting]
High in the air, Mojo lands on top of the Bird Balloon behind the basket.
[Both grunting]
Bo cheers, YAY!
Mojo and Bo both cheer, WE MADE IT!
Preston throws his fists in the air in celebration.
[Exciting music plays]
Preston says, JUST IN TIME TO CRASH!
Bo grabs another rope.
He says, HANG ON, I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
He lassos the hook on the front of the balloon.
Preston cheers, YES!
[Preston laughing]
Bo ties the two ropes on the balloon to Mojo’s steering wheel and holds on tight.
Bo says, HOLD ON TO YOUR TAIL FEATHERS!
He turns the wheel and steers the Bird Balloon over the water. Bo turns the Bird Balloon back toward Swoppiton. Outside Town Hall, Fabio, Jackson, Felix, Nan, and Dot look worried. They back away from the incoming balloon.
[Mojo, Bo and Preston shouting]
Bo grins as he, Mojo and Preston speed toward land.
Preston warns, NOW, CAREFUL OF THE PAINT WORK!
The Bird Balloon bounces across the surface of the water.
[Grunting]
The Bird Balloon bounces onto land and skids past Town Hall. Dust billows around it.
[Grunting]
Preston yelps, WOAH!
[Shouting]
The Bird Balloon loses more air and slows to a stop.
[Fabio, Jackson and Dot cheering]
[Fabio laughing]
[Nan clapping]
[Preston laughing nervously]
Preston looks over his shoulder toward Mojo and Bo.
[Mojo and Bo cheering]
[Applause]
Later in the day, Preston stands with his camera beside the deflated Bird Balloon.
Bo asks, HOW'RE YOU DOING, PRESTON?
He walks over to Preston with Mojo.
Preston says, OH, I'M FEELING VERY DEFLATED. THANKS, BO AND MOJO. MY BALLOON'S ALL BROKEN, AND THE WORST THING OF ALL, I… I HAVEN'T EVEN GOT A SINGLE PHOTO OF THE JIBBERJACK BIRD.
Behind Preston, the Jibberjack lands on the balloon.
Mojo says, UH, PRESTON...
Bo asks, CAN WE BORROW YOUR CAMERA FOR A SECOND?
Preston says, I SUPPOSE SO.
Bo takes Preston’s camera.
Bo says, UH, PRESTON.
Preston says, YES?
Bo glances at Mojo, and they grin.
Bo says, WATCH THE BIRDIE!
He aims the camera at Preston.
[Jibberjack squawking]
Preston jumps in surprise.
[Preston shouting]
Bo takes a picture of Preston looking at the Jibberjack in surprise.

He stands and says, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BALLOON. IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO FOLLOW THE JIBBERJACK. STOP IF YOU WISH, BUT I'M CATCHING UP TO THAT BIRD!
Bo shouts, NO, PRESTON! DON'T LET GO OF THE ROPE!
Preston says, AH-HA! TOO LATE!
He lets go of the rope and stumbles against the basket.
[Preston yelping]
The Bird Balloon jerks backward. Mojo zooms forward.
Mojo and Bo yelp, WHOA!
Preston says, OH, DEAR!
He floats away in the Bird Balloon. Mojo flips over a park bench between two buildings. Bo grips Mojo’s steering wheel. They lie on their sides.
Mojo says, UH-OH. I THINK PRESTON'S A LITTLE BIT BIRD-BRAINED.
Bo says, HM.
He taps his chin.
Bo says, MOJO, I'VE GOT A PLAN. THAT BALLOON'S NOT THE ONLY THING THAT FILLS UP WITH AIR. WE'RE GOING TO NEED A HOT-SWOP!
[Intense music plays]
At the Swop Shop, Bo swops Mojo’s tires for giant tires using his controller and adds parts of a roll cage. Mojo rolls out of the shop.
[Whirring]
Mojo and Bo cheer, MONSTER TOP!
Mojo spins around.
[Tires screeching]
Mojo says, I'M LOVING THE MONSTER TOP, BO, BUT HOW ARE WE GOING TO USE IT TO CATCH A BIRD BALLOON?!
Bo hops out of Mojo and grabs an air hose from the shop. He fills one of Mojo’s tires with more air.
Mojo says, HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Bo asks, READY TO DO SOME BALLOON CATCHING?
He fills another one of Mojo’s tires with more air.
Mojo says, WHATEVER YOU SAY, GOOD BUDDY.
Elsewhere in Swoppiton, Preston zooms through the air.
[Dramatic music plays]
Preston says, STEER, STEER! OH, HOW DO I STEER THIS THING!?
He frantically looks around. The Bird Balloon knocks a chimney cap off a roof, and the cap falls toward Fabio on the sidewalk below.
[Fabio whimpering]
Fabio jumps away and covers his eyes. The cap bounces off the street.
Preston yells down, UH, SORRY!
He says to himself, OH, I COULD BE IN TROUBLE HERE.
Preston shouts, UM, I MAY NEED SOME HELP!
On the street, Bo yells, HOLD TIGHT, PRESTON!
Mojo says, WE'RE STILL NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO CATCH THAT BALLOON, BO!
Bo says, NOT YET WE'RE NOT.
He pulls a lever, and Mojo’s cab drops between the four giant tires.
Mojo says, YIKES! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Bo says, JUST PUTTING A LITTLE SPRING IN YOUR STEP, GOOD BUDDY!
He pushes the lever, and Mojo springs off the ground.
Mojo cheers, WHOA! WOO-HOO!
[Exciting music plays]
Mojo bounces down the street on the giant monster truck tires.
[Mojo cheering and laughing]
Mojo says, PRESTON, WE'RE ONE BOUNCE BEHIND YOU!
Mojo bounces off rooftops.
Preston shouts, I CAN'T STOP!
Mojo catches up with the Bird Balloon.
Mojo says, OKAY, WHAT'S NEXT, BO?
Bo grabs a rope.
He says, LET'S PUT A STRING ON THAT BALLOON!
He lassos a hook on the Bird Balloon.
[Mojo and Bo cheering]
Bo says, GOT IT!
He ties the rope to Mojo.
Bo says, OKAY, MOJO, HIT THE BRAKES!
Mojo breaks and slides off a roof.
[Mojo and Bo shouting]
Mojo lands on the street and slows down the Bird Balloon.
[Tires screeching]
Preston jerks backward over the basket. Upside down, he looks at the pointed spire on the Town Hall. The spire sparkles.
Preston says, AH, I SAY, THE TOWN HALL'S LOOKING A LITTLE BIT SPIKY!
[Dramatic music plays]
[Bo gasping]
Bo says, OH, NO! THE TOWN HALL SPIRE IS GOING TO BURST THE BALLOON!
Mojo says, YIKES! REVERSE!
Mojo’s tires spin backward in place.
[Tires squealing]
The Bird Balloon slowly floats toward the spire.
[Preston gasping]
[Preston stammering]
The Bird Balloon slowly drags Mojo toward Town Hall.
[Mojo grunting]
[Tires squealing]
Bo says, YES. YES! IT'S SLOWING DOWN, MOJO! YOU CAN DO IT!
The Bird Balloon moves closer toward the spire.
[Preston gasping]
Preston closes his eyes. Inches away from the spire, the Bird Ballon stops moving. Preston opens his eyes and relaxes.
Preston says, PHEW.
The Jibberjack flies by.
Preston says, AH-HA!
The Jibberjack perches on top of the Bird Balloon. The Jibberjack’s weight pushes the Bird Balloon toward the spire.
[Preston gasping]
Preston says, OH, DEAR.
Bo shouts, FLY AWAY, BIRD! FLY AWAY!
[Jibberjack squawking]
The spire sparkles.
Bo says, QUICK, MOJO, WE'VE GOT TO GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!
[Mojo grunting]
Mojo reverses and pulls the rope tied to the Bird Balloon tight.
[Preston gasping]
Preston whimpers, MUMMY.
[Dramatic music plays]
The Bird Balloon lowers onto the spire. The spire presses into the balloon, and the balloon stretches around it.
[Balloon stretching]
The balloon stops moving and then pops.
[Loud popping]
[Air hissing]
The Bird Balloon starts to deflate.
Bo says, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
Still tied to Mojo, the Bird Balloon blows around the sky. Bo grabs the rope.
[Mojo and Bo yelling]
The Bird balloon drags Mojo and Bo around Swoppiton. Mojo and Bo crash through a sign above the entrance to the Swoppiton pier.
[Wood snapping]
Bo yells, MOJO!
Mojo says, YES?!
Bo says, WHEN I SAY "JUMP," JUMP!
The deflating Bird Balloon drags Mojo and Ben down the pier.
Bo says, READY? JUMP!
Mojo leaps off the end of the pier.
[Mojo and Bo shouting]
High in the air, Mojo lands on top of the Bird Balloon behind the basket.
[Both grunting]
Bo cheers, YAY!
Mojo and Bo both cheer, WE MADE IT!
Preston throws his fists in the air in celebration.
[Exciting music plays]
Preston says, JUST IN TIME TO CRASH!
Bo grabs another rope.
He says, HANG ON, I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
He lassos the hook on the front of the balloon.
Preston cheers, YES!
[Preston laughing]
Bo ties the two ropes on the balloon to Mojo’s steering wheel and holds on tight.
Bo says, HOLD ON TO YOUR TAIL FEATHERS!
He turns the wheel and steers the Bird Balloon over the water. Bo turns the Bird Balloon back toward Swoppiton. Outside Town Hall, Fabio, Jackson, Felix, Nan, and Dot look worried. They back away from the incoming balloon.
[Mojo, Bo and Preston shouting]
Bo grins as he, Mojo and Preston speed toward land.
Preston warns, NOW, CAREFUL OF THE PAINT WORK!
The Bird Balloon bounces across the surface of the water.
[Grunting]
The Bird Balloon bounces onto land and skids past Town Hall. Dust billows around it.
[Grunting]
Preston yelps, WOAH!
[Shouting]
The Bird Balloon loses more air and slows to a stop.
[Fabio, Jackson and Dot cheering]
[Fabio laughing]
[Nan clapping]
[Preston laughing nervously]
Preston looks over his shoulder toward Mojo and Bo.
[Mojo and Bo cheering]
[Applause]
Later in the day, Preston stands with his camera beside the deflated Bird Balloon.
Bo asks, HOW'RE YOU DOING, PRESTON?
He walks over to Preston with Mojo.
Preston says, OH, I'M FEELING VERY DEFLATED. THANKS, BO AND MOJO. MY BALLOON'S ALL BROKEN, AND THE WORST THING OF ALL, I… I HAVEN'T EVEN GOT A SINGLE PHOTO OF THE JIBBERJACK BIRD.
Behind Preston, the Jibberjack lands on the balloon.
Mojo says, UH, PRESTON...
Bo asks, CAN WE BORROW YOUR CAMERA FOR A SECOND?
Preston says, I SUPPOSE SO.
Bo takes Preston’s camera.
Bo says, UH, PRESTON.
Preston says, YES?
Bo glances at Mojo, and they grin.
Bo says, WATCH THE BIRDIE!
He aims the camera at Preston.
[Jibberjack squawking]
Preston jumps in surprise.
[Preston shouting]
Bo takes a picture of Preston looking at the Jibberjack in surprise.
