A child says, WEE!
TVO Kids and Sinking Ship Entertainment Original.
[Child giggles, upbeat music plays, pop]
Sly stands in front of his desk. He has short, curly black hair and wears an olive green jacket. Bright orange letters spell his name down the left side of his jacket.
[Upbeat music plays]
Sly says, DID A WORD THAT'S IMPORTANT
TO YOU GO MISSING?
Gabby stands beside her desk. Her long black hair is braided. She wears a black bowler hat, a blue-green cardigan, and a white blouse. On the left side of her cardigan, Gabby wears a name tag with her name in green.
Gabby says, AND NOW ALL YOU CAN FEEL,
DO, OR THINK IS THE OPPOSITE OF THAT WORD?
Sly says, THEN CALL US!
I'M SLY.
Gabby says, AND I'M GABBY.
WE'RE WORD DETECTIVES,
AND WE SOLVE...
Both say, WORD MYSTERIES!
Sly sits at his desk, a lime green laptop computer in front of him. On the top of the computer, a drawing of Sly holding a magnifying glass is displayed.
Sly says, TOGETHER, WE RUN THE WORDSVILLE
ONLINE DETECTIVE AGENCY.
Gabby says, WE'LL FIND YOUR MISSING
WORD, FAST.
Gabby sits at her desk behind a laptop computer. The top of Gabby’s computer has a drawing of a cat looking through a magnifying glass.
Sly says, NOT TO MENTION, BRISKLY.
Gabby says, AND SWIFTLY.
YEAH, WE'RE REALLY GOOD
WITH WORDS.
Children shout, WORDSVILLE!
Colourful letters spell Wordsville. A black magnifying glass lies over the letter 'W'. Text reads, Created by Christin Simms.
Gabby’s photograph appears. Text above a green telephone receiver icon reads, Word Detective Gabby is connecting to a call.
[Ringing]
Gabby and Sly are on a video call.
[Upbeat music plays]
In her office, Gabby asks, ANY CALLS YET, SLY?
In his office, Sly rolls across the floor on his chair.
Sly says, NOT YET, GABBY!
[Crash]
Gabby asks, ARE YOU OKAY?
AND DID YOU REPLACE YOUR WHEELS?
Sly says, YEP, AND YEP.
WHICH MEANS IT'S TIME FOR A...
COOKIE BREAK!
Sly holds a large cookie.
Sly says, IT’S GOING TO BE SWEET!
Sly takes a bite of the cookie.
[Crunch]
Sly says, OH!
THIS COOKIE IS DISGUSTING.
Gabby asks, BUT BAKER GRAHAM MAKES
THE BEST TREATS.
DO YOU THINK HE FORGOT
AN INGREDIENT?
OR DO YOU THINK IT'S...
Sly says, A WORD MYSTERY? YES!
AND LOOK, BAKER GRAHAM'S CALLING.
Baker Graham’s photograph appears. Text above a green telephone receiver icon reads, Baker Graham Calling.
[Ringing]
Standing in his bakery, Baker Graham wears a yellow chef’s hat with his name on it, a white, yellow and blue striped shirt, and a yellow apron.
Baker Graham says, WORD DETECTIVES!
I HATE TO BOTHER YOU,
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP.
MY SCRUMPTIOUS SWEETS
ARE MISSING!
WHAT DID THEY LOOK LIKE?
Baker Graham says, LIKE THIS.
A photograph of a line of eleven iced donuts appears. Each donut has a letter in green icing on the top, with the line spelling the word scrumptious.
[Click]
Sly says, YOU MADE DONUTS
THAT ACTUALLY SPELL
THE WORD "SCRUMPTIOUS"?
THAT'S AWESOME.
A dictionary definition appears beside Gabby. Above the definition are a lowercase and an uppercase letter S, a speaker icon, and text that reads, Scrumptious. Adjective.
Gabby reads the definition aloud.
[Typing]
Gabby says, THE DICTIONARY SAYS
"SCRUMPTIOUS"
MEANS HAVING A DELICIOUS TASTE,
AND USUALLY DESCRIBES SOMETHING
YOU WANT TO EAT.
LIKE THE SCRUMPTIOUS SWEETS
AND TREATS BAKER GRAHAM MAKES.
Baker Graham says, THANKS FOR NOTICING.
I WAS GOING TO PUT THE DONUTS
IN MY DISPLAY CASE, SO EVERYONE WHO
COMES TO THE BAKERY WOULD KNOW
ALL MY SWEETS ARE SCRUMPTIOUS.
BUT, THEY DISAPPEARED!
Sly asks, IS THAT WHY MY COOKIE TASTES
LIKE AN OLD SHOE?
[Trumpet blares, cymbals crash]
Baker Graham says, IT'S NOT JUST THE COOKIES.
WHEN MY DONUTS DISAPPEARED,
EVERYTHING IN TOWN
STOPPED TASTING GOOD!
Gabby asks, WHAT ABOUT
THE GINGERBREAD PEOPLE?
AND THEIR HOUSES?
Sly explains, SHE REALLY LIKES GINGERBREAD.
Baker Graham says, THE GINGERBREAD, TOO.
[Cymbals crash]
Baker Graham says, NOW EVERYTHING
THAT'S USUALLY SCRUMPTIOUS, ISN'T.
[Dramatic music plays]
Gabby says, THIS IS DEFINITELY
A WORD MYSTERY.
IT'S THE CASE OF
THE DISAPPEARING DONUTS.
AND IT'S UP TO US WORD DETECTIVES
TO SOLVE IT!
Sly says, BAKER GRAHAM,
IF YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED,
I'LL SHOW US WHAT HAPPENED,
WITH SLY-MATION.
Baker Graham asks, WHAT'S SLY-MATION?
Gabby explains, ANIMATION THAT SLY MAKES.
Sly says, RECAP TIME!
Sly makes a computer animation of Baker Graham in his bakery.
[Clicking]
Baker Graham narrates, THIS MORNING,
I DECIDED TO MAKE
SCRUMPTIOUS DONUTS
TO PUT ON DISPLAY, SO EVERYONE
WHO COMES IN CAN SEE THEM.
I DECORATED THEM ON THE COUNTER,
AND POSTED A PHOTO
ON MY WEBSITE.
[Popping, camera shutter snaps]
Baker Graham narrates, THEN, ATHLETE GLORY
AND VET WILDER CAME IN.
Computer animated Athlete Glory and Vet Wilder enter the bakery and stand in front of the counter. The computer-animated people have cut-out photographs of their heads on top of their animated bodies.
Athlete Glory wears her black hair in two buns on top of her head. She wears a green headband, a grey sweater, a green shirt, and a yellow string with a whistle and her name. Vet Wilder wears blue and white scrubs and a stethoscope around his neck. His brown hair is short, and he wears a name tag pinned to his shirt, which reads, Wilder.
Baker Graham narrates, BEFORE I COULD
HELP THEM BOTH, I WENT TO CHECK
MY OVEN IN THE BACK.
[Oven dings]
Baker Graham narrates, BUT WHEN
I GOT BACK, MY CUSTOMERS,
AND MY DONUTS, WERE GONE!
Sly’s animation ends.
In his office, Sly asks, CAN YOU SHOW US
THE COUNTER BEHIND YOU?
IT'S THE SCENE OF THE MYSTERY,
THE LAST PLACE THE DONUTS
WERE SEEN.
Baker Graham says, OF COURSE.
Baker Graham moves his camera and shows the countertop. Sprinkles, money, and a bag of green icing lie on the counter. Text, written with green icing, reads, For Yummy.
Gabby says, HMM, INTERESTING.
[Camera shutter snaps]
Sly says, I'M SAVING THIS SCREENSHOT
FOR OUR CASE NOTES.
GABBY, HAVE YOU SEEN ENOUGH?
Gabby says, ABSOLUTELY,
WE'LL START INVESTIGATING,
AND GET BACK TO YOU.
Baker Graham says, HURRY, WORD DETECTIVES!
Baker Graham ends the call.
[Beep]
Sly says, TIME TO START OUR CASE NOTES.
A yellow heading on a piece of paper reads, Case Notes. A subheading reads, The Case of Disappearing Donuts.
A paintbrush, a camera and a text icon are under the headings.
[Typing, upbeat music plays softly]
Gabby narrates, WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
SOMEONE TOOK
THE SCRUMPTIOUS DONUTS,
AND NOTHING TASTES GOOD.
WE KNOW WHERE IT HAPPENED,
THE BAKERY.
AND THAT IT HAPPENED WHEN
BAKER GRAHAM WENT TO HIS OVEN
IN THE BACK.
On the page of the case notes, text reads, What: someone took the scrumptious donuts. Where: the bakery. When: Baker Graham went to the back. Suspects:
The word, scrumptious, is in red text. What, Where, When, and Suspects are in white text against a red background.
Photographs of Athlete Glory and Vet Wilder appear on the case notes page.
[Clicking]
Sly narrates OUR SUSPECTS ARE:
ATHLETE GLORY, AND VET WILDER.
NOW, TO FIGURE OUT
WHO TOOK THE DONUTS,
HOW, AND WHY.
White text on a red background reads, Who, How, and Why.
Sly says, LUCKILY, THERE WERE SOME CLUES.
SPRINKLES AND CRUMBS ALL BELONG
ON A BAKERY COUNTER,
BUT I SEE MONEY, AND...
Sly says, WORDS WRITTEN IN ICING?
I'M ZOOMING IN.
"FOR YUMMY." HUH?
[Click]
The dictionary definition for scrumptious appears beside Gabby. Text beneath the definition reads, Synonyms for “Scrumptious,” Yummy, Delicious, Tasty.
Gabby says, "YUMMY" MEANS THE
SAME THING AS "SCRUMPTIOUS."
THEY'RE SYNONYMS.
YOU CAN SAY SOMETHING THAT
TASTES GOOD IS SCRUMPTIOUS,
OR THAT IT'S YUMMY.
Sly asks, BUT WHO WROTE IT?
Gabby says, WE HAVE TO INTERVIEW
OUR SUSPECTS TO FIGURE THAT OUT.
Sly says, LET'S START WITH ATHLETE GLORY.
Athlete Glory’s photograph appears. Text above a green telephone receiver icon reads, Calling Athlete Glory.
[Ringing]
On the video call from her gym, Athlete Glory says, WORD DETECTIVES!
THANK GOODNESS!
SOMETHING'S WRONG
WITH MY BROWNIE!
[Serious music plays]
Gabby says, THAT'S WHY WE'RE CALLING.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING
AT THE BAKERY TODAY?
Athlete Glory says, TRYING TO BUY
A SCRUMPTIOUS DONUT,
BUT BAKER GRAHAM SAID
THEY WERE FOR HIS DISPLAY CASE,
NOT FOR SALE, SO I GOT
THIS BROWNIE INSTEAD.
Sly says, YOU SOUND DISAPPOINTED
ABOUT THAT.
On a page of the case notes, bullet points beneath Athlete Glory’s photograph read, Wanted a scrumptious donut. Got a brownie instead.
The word, scrumptious, is in red type.
[Typing]
Athlete Glory says, I HAD MY HEART SET
ON A DONUT.
WHEN I GOT BACK HERE TO MY GYM,
I TOOK A BITE OF MY BROWNIE.
IT WAS NOT DELICIOUS,
AND DEFINITELY DISAPPOINTING.
Gabby says, INTERESTING.
WE'LL GET BACK TO YOU.
Athlete Glory ends the call.
[Beep]
In the case notes, a broken heart appears on top of Athlete Glory’s photograph. A new bullet point reads, Disappointed the donuts were for display.
[Typing]
Gabby says, ATHLETE GLORY WAS
DISAPPOINTED THE SCRUMPTIOUS
DONUTS WERE FOR DISPLAY.
Sly says, SUSPICIOUS.
Gabby says, VERY.
BUT WE SHOULD HEAR WHAT
VET WILDER HAS TO SAY.
Vet Wilder’s photograph appears. Text above a green telephone receiver icon reads, Calling Vet Wilder.
[Ringing, beep]
On the video call from his clinic, Vet Wilder says, WORD DETECTIVES,
NICE TO SEE YOU.
[Pleasant music plays softly]
Gabby says, THANKS, VET WILDER.
WE'RE CALLING ON OFFICIAL
WORD MYSTERY BUSINESS.
WHY WERE YOU AT
THE BAKERY TODAY?
Vet Wilder says, TO PICK UP TREATS
FOR MY PARTY.
Sly asks, YOU'RE HAVING A PARTY?
IS IT YOUR BIRTHDAY?
DID I FORGET TO SEND YOU A CARD?
Vet Wilder says, NO, THE PARTY'S FOR
THE NEW CAT I ADOPTED. HERE SHE IS.
Vet Wilder picks up a large white cat with light grey markings on her forehead and back.
[Meow, purring]
Gabby says, VERY CUTE,
BUT LET'S STICK TO THE CASE.
ANYTHING HAPPEN
OUT OF THE ORDINARY
AT THE BAKERY TODAY?
Vet Wilder says, WELL, BEFORE I COULD
TALK TO BAKER GRAHAM, HE RAN OFF.
SO I GRABBED MY ORDER,
LEFT MONEY AND A NOTE,
THEN IT WAS TIME
TO GET BACK HERE
FOR YUMMY'S PARTY.
On a page of the case notes, bullet points beneath Vet Wilder’s photograph read, Grabbed order. Left money and note.
Sly asks, YOUR NEW CAT'S NAME IS YUMMY?
AS IN, THE SYNONYM
FOR SCRUMPTIOUS?
In the case notes, a new bullet point below Vet Wilder’s photograph reads, Has a cat named Yummy.
A drawing of a white cat appears on top of Vet Wilder’s photograph.
[Scratching]
Vet Wilder says, SCRUMPTIOUS IS
A FANCY WAY TO SAY YUMMY.
BUT I THINK YUMMY SOUNDS
WAY CUTER. AND MY NEW CAT
IS A CUTIE.
Gabby says, I CAN'T DENY THAT.
[Yummy purrs]
Gabby says, WE'LL CALL YOU BACK.
Vet Wilder ends the phone call.
[Beep]
Gabby asks, WHAT DID WE LEARN
FROM QUESTIONING OUR SUSPECTS?
The case notes about Athlete Glory and Vet Wilder appear side by side with their photographs. The last bullet point beneath Vet Wilder’s photograph reads, Thinks yummy sounds cuter than scrumptious.
[Clicking, serious music plays]
Sly says, ATHLETE GLORY WAS
DISAPPOINTED BAKER GRAHAM WOULDN'T
SELL HER A SCRUMPTIOUS DONUT.
Gabby says, BUT VET WILDER HAS
A NEW CAT NAMED YUMMY,
AND "FOR YUMMY" WAS WRITTEN
IN ICING ON THE BAKERY COUNTER.
[Click]
The photograph of the bakery countertop appears.
Sly says, VET WILDER ALSO SAID
HE LEFT A NOTE.
In the case notes, the words scrumptious, disappointed, and Yummy appear in red text.
Gabby says, AND THAT YUMMY IS
A CUTER WAY TO SAY SCRUMPTIOUS.
YOU THINKING WHO
I'M THINKING, SLY?
Sly says, I AM! I THINK.
LET'S SHOW EVERYONE
HOW IT HAPPENED.
Photographs of Gabby, Baker Graham, Sly, Athlete Glory and Vet Wilder appear. Text above a green telephone receiver icon reads, Multiple people are connecting to call.
[Ringing]
On the video call from his office, Sly says, NOW PRESENTING,
THE WORD MYSTERY
ANIMATED RE-ENACTMENT OF...
[Drum roll]
Sly creates a computer animation of Baker Graham’s bakery. Text reads, The Case of the Disappearing Donuts.
Inside the bakery, computer animated Baker Graham stands behind the counter. Athlete Glory and Vet Wilder stand in line on the other side of the counter. The computer-animated people have cut-out photographs of their heads on top of their animated bodies.
Gabby as Athlete Glory says,
HELLO, BAKER GRAHAM,
CAN I BUY A SCRUMPTIOUS DONUT?
Sly as Baker Graham says, NO, SORRY,
THEY'RE ONLY FOR DISPLAY.
BUT YOU CAN BUY A BROWNIE.
[Oven dings]
Sly as Baker Graham says, I HAVE TO CHECK MY OVEN.
Computer animated Athlete Glory leaves with her brownie. Vet Wilder approaches the countertop and looks at the donuts.
Sly ask Vet Wilder says, HUH, I ORDERED
DONUTS THAT SAY "YUMMY,"
BUT "SCRUMPTIOUS"
MEANS THE SAME THING.
Text reads, Yummy equals Scrumptious.
Sly as Vet Wilder says, THEY'RE SYNONYMS,
SO THIS MUST BE MY ORDER.
I'LL LEAVE MONEY AND A NOTE.
I DON'T SEE A PEN, SO I'LL USE ICING.
THIS MONEY IS FOR YUMMY.
Computer animated Vet Wilder writes For Yummy on the counter and takes the donuts.
[Squelching, dramatic music plays]
Sly’s animation ends.
In her office, Gabby says, VET WILDER IS WHO DID IT!
[Athlete Glory gasps]
Baker Graham asks, HOW COULD YOU?
Sly says, HE GRABBED
THE SCRUMPTIOUS DONUTS AND LEFT,
THAT'S HOW HE DID IT.
Vet Wilder asks, I DID IT?
Sly nods.
Gabby explains, HE ORDERED "YUMMY" DONUTS,
AND SINCE THE WORD "SCRUMPTIOUS"
MEANS THE SAME THING,
HE THOUGHT BAKER GRAHAM
GOT MIXED UP.
THAT'S WHY HE DID IT.
Vet Wilder says, OOPS, I GUESS I DID.
Baker Graham says, OH, THAT'S RIGHT,
YOU ORDERED "YUMMY" DONUTS
FOR YOUR NEW PET PARTY.
I TOTALLY FORGOT
ABOUT YOUR ORDER
WHEN I WAS MAKING
MY SCRUMPTIOUS DONUTS.
I'M SO SORRY, VET WILDER.
Vet Wilder says, I'M SORRY, TOO.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE IT
SO NOTHING TASTES SCRUMPTIOUS
OR YUMMY IN WORDSVILLE.
Sly says, INCLUDING MY COOKIE.
Gabby says, AND THE GINGERBREAD.
Athlete Glory says, NOT TO MENTION THE BROWNIE.
Vet Wilder says, I'LL RETURN THESE
DONUTS TO THE BAKERY,
SO THE WORDS "SCRUMPTIOUS"
AND "YUMMY" CAN COME BACK.
Photographs of Gabby, Baker Graham, Sly, Athlete Glory and Vet Wilder appear. Text above a green telephone receiver icon reads, Multiple people are connecting to call.

I'M BACK IN
THE SCRUMPTIOUS BUSINESS.
[Applause]
Baker Graham says, COME ON DOWN
AND GET ONE, EVERYONE.

MY DONUTS WHEN THEY'RE READY.
Baker Graham waves and says, THANKS, WORD DETECTIVES!
Baker Graham ends the call.
[Beep]
Gabby says, THE CASE OF
THE DISAPPEARING DONUTS, CLOSED.
ANOTHER WORD MYSTERY SOLVED.
NICE WORK, SLY.
Sly says, YOU TOO, GABBY.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M EXCITED ABOUT?
Gabby asks, EATING YOUR COOKIE?
Sly says, OBVIOUSLY!
BUT LET'S GET YOU
SOME GINGERBREAD.
Gabby says, THAT WOULD BE SCRUMPTIOUS.
Sly says, AND YUMMY, TOO.

Gabby says, BUT VET WILDER HAS
A NEW CAT NAMED YUMMY,
AND "FOR YUMMY" WAS WRITTEN
IN ICING ON THE BAKERY COUNTER.
[Click]
The photograph of the bakery countertop appears.
Sly says, VET WILDER ALSO SAID
HE LEFT A NOTE.
In the case notes, the words scrumptious, disappointed, and Yummy appear in red text.
Gabby says, AND THAT YUMMY IS
A CUTER WAY TO SAY SCRUMPTIOUS.
YOU THINKING WHO
I'M THINKING, SLY?
Sly says, I AM! I THINK.
LET'S SHOW EVERYONE
HOW IT HAPPENED.
Photographs of Gabby, Baker Graham, Sly, Athlete Glory and Vet Wilder appear. Text above a green telephone receiver icon reads, Multiple people are connecting to call.
[Ringing]
On the video call from his office, Sly says, NOW PRESENTING,
THE WORD MYSTERY
ANIMATED RE-ENACTMENT OF...
[Drum roll]
Sly creates a computer animation of Baker Graham’s bakery. Text reads, The Case of the Disappearing Donuts.
Inside the bakery, computer animated Baker Graham stands behind the counter. Athlete Glory and Vet Wilder stand in line on the other side of the counter. The computer-animated people have cut-out photographs of their heads on top of their animated bodies.
Gabby as Athlete Glory says,
HELLO, BAKER GRAHAM,
CAN I BUY A SCRUMPTIOUS DONUT?
Sly as Baker Graham says, NO, SORRY,
THEY'RE ONLY FOR DISPLAY.
BUT YOU CAN BUY A BROWNIE.
[Oven dings]
Sly as Baker Graham says, I HAVE TO CHECK MY OVEN.
Computer animated Athlete Glory leaves with her brownie. Vet Wilder approaches the countertop and looks at the donuts.
Sly ask Vet Wilder says, HUH, I ORDERED
DONUTS THAT SAY "YUMMY,"
BUT "SCRUMPTIOUS"
MEANS THE SAME THING.
Text reads, Yummy equals Scrumptious.
Sly as Vet Wilder says, THEY'RE SYNONYMS,
SO THIS MUST BE MY ORDER.
I'LL LEAVE MONEY AND A NOTE.
I DON'T SEE A PEN, SO I'LL USE ICING.
THIS MONEY IS FOR YUMMY.
Computer animated Vet Wilder writes For Yummy on the counter and takes the donuts.
[Squelching, dramatic music plays]
Sly’s animation ends.
In her office, Gabby says, VET WILDER IS WHO DID IT!
[Athlete Glory gasps]
Baker Graham asks, HOW COULD YOU?
Sly says, HE GRABBED
THE SCRUMPTIOUS DONUTS AND LEFT,
THAT'S HOW HE DID IT.
Vet Wilder asks, I DID IT?
Sly nods.
Gabby explains, HE ORDERED "YUMMY" DONUTS,
AND SINCE THE WORD "SCRUMPTIOUS"
MEANS THE SAME THING,
HE THOUGHT BAKER GRAHAM
GOT MIXED UP.
THAT'S WHY HE DID IT.
Vet Wilder says, OOPS, I GUESS I DID.
Baker Graham says, OH, THAT'S RIGHT,
YOU ORDERED "YUMMY" DONUTS
FOR YOUR NEW PET PARTY.
I TOTALLY FORGOT
ABOUT YOUR ORDER
WHEN I WAS MAKING
MY SCRUMPTIOUS DONUTS.
I'M SO SORRY, VET WILDER.
Vet Wilder says, I'M SORRY, TOO.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE IT
SO NOTHING TASTES SCRUMPTIOUS
OR YUMMY IN WORDSVILLE.
Sly says, INCLUDING MY COOKIE.
Gabby says, AND THE GINGERBREAD.
Athlete Glory says, NOT TO MENTION THE BROWNIE.
Vet Wilder says, I'LL RETURN THESE
DONUTS TO THE BAKERY,
SO THE WORDS "SCRUMPTIOUS"
AND "YUMMY" CAN COME BACK.
Photographs of Gabby, Baker Graham, Sly, Athlete Glory and Vet Wilder appear. Text above a green telephone receiver icon reads, Multiple people are connecting to call.
[Ringing, upbeat music plays]
Baker Graham says, I HAVE MY DONUTS AGAIN!
JUST LET ME DO A TASTE TEST.
Baker Graham bites into a donut.
Baker Graham nods and says, MMM!
I'M BACK IN
THE SCRUMPTIOUS BUSINESS.
[Applause]
Baker Graham says, COME ON DOWN
AND GET ONE, EVERYONE.
Athlete Glory enthusiastically says, I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
Vet Wilder says, AND I'LL COME GET
MY DONUTS WHEN THEY'RE READY.
Baker Graham waves and says, THANKS, WORD DETECTIVES!
Baker Graham ends the call.
[Beep]
Gabby says, THE CASE OF
THE DISAPPEARING DONUTS, CLOSED.
ANOTHER WORD MYSTERY SOLVED.
NICE WORK, SLY.
Sly says, YOU TOO, GABBY.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M EXCITED ABOUT?
Gabby asks, EATING YOUR COOKIE?
Sly says, OBVIOUSLY!
BUT LET'S GET YOU
SOME GINGERBREAD.
Gabby says, THAT WOULD BE SCRUMPTIOUS.
Sly says, AND YUMMY, TOO.
[Upbeat music plays]
Voices sing, IT'S WORDSVILLE.
YEAH. WOO.
WITH GABBY. SLY.
IT'S WORDSVILLE.
