Bob the Builder: The Movie/Transcript/UK Version

This is the transcript for the UK version of "Bob the Builder: The Movie".

Part 1: A Busy Day/The Hotel Presentation
(Shows Paramount Pictures logo)

(Shows Point Grey Pictures logo customized for the movie; Building tools and blueprints, in place of school supplies and doodles on notebook paper, are inside the school desk. The desk shuts itself, revealing the animated doodle drawn on its surface. The animated doodle shows Bob and his Can-Do Crew building the Point Grey logo. After they build it, they look at it for 3 seconds and look at us. Bob waves hello to us while Lofty nervously sneaks away.)

(We fade to a close-up view of the hills of Sunflower Valley as several rabbits hop to the top of the hills where they overlook the valley.)

(We pan to Bird flying to the nest on a tree where his wife Flewie and their chicks are. We then pan away and zoom in to Bobland Bay, where a builder named Bob and his Can-Do Crew are residing. We then transition to Bob's mobile home. A rooster crows, and the door opens to reveal Bob, who, after coming out of his mobile home, takes a deep breath of fresh air, only for Pilchard to run out the door. But Bob avoids her and closes the door behind him soon after.)

(We then cut to Wendy opening the door to her home, ready to begin her usual job along with Bob. She waves good morning to him.)

Wendy: Morning, Bob.

(We cut to Bob waving good morning to her back.)

Bob: Hello, Wendy!

(Bob and Wendy walk over to 5 machines named Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, Roley, and Lofty, ready to wake them up.)

Bob: Morning, everyone! Rise and shine!

(The machines wake up and greet Bob.)

Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, Roley, and Lofty: Morning, Bob!

(We cut to a close-up view of Bob and Wendy.)

Bob: It's gonna be a busy day!

(We cut back to the machines as they all cheer, leave the shed and prepare to begin their usual jobs. Lofty, the only one who didn't leave with Bob and the other members, notices that he is not with them and rushes over to them.)

Lofty: Umm... Hey, guys! Wait for me!

(We fade to the roads as Bob and the gang are driving to their spot where they do their usual jobs, with Lofty catching up to them, as a new composition of the theme song for the "Bob the Builder" show, "Can We Fix It?" (by John Powell) begins to play.)

Bob: Okay, team. We've got a job to do. So, can we fix it?

Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, and Roley: Yes, we can!

Lofty: Err, yeah. I think so.

Bob: Alright, then! Let's get to it!

(Bob and the machines start doing their usual jobs. Lofty uses his claw to lift an already made brick wall that is lying on the ground and places it in front of us as the film's logo comes into form one-by-one, starting with the border, followed by the words "Bob the Builder" and then "THE MOVIE" comes onto the screen. "Can We Fix It?" (still by John Powell) continues playing (with lyrics by Neil Morrissey) over the animation from the intro for the "Bob the Builder" spinoff, "Project Build It".)

(We later fade back to a close-up view of the hills of Sunflower Valley and zoom in to Bob and the machines doing their usual jobs.)

(As we pan to Bob and Wendy doing their usual jobs, we can see Farmer Pickles, Packer, and Tumbler helping out the machines. After it stops panning, Scrambler scrams over to the building site to where Bob and Wendy are.)

Scrambler: Hey, Bob! Being in Sunflower Valley rocks!

Bob: I know, Scrambler. We've been working on this Sunflower Valley project for quite some time now ever since I won the Sunflower Valley competition back in Bobsville!

Scoop: Yeah! And when we finished building the stadium for the 1st Sunflower Valley Games, I think we could totally use a break from big building jobs.

Roley: Yeah, we've done quite a lot of building jobs in Sunflower Valley since then!

Bob: Of course, Roley!

Scrambler: Wicked!

Packer: But what could be next for us?

Bob: I'm... not precisely sure, to be honest!

Wendy: I think I agree with you, Bob. Besides, who knows what Mr. Bentley will assign us to do next?

Scoop: Whatever it is, we'll be ready for it!

Lofty: Err, yeah! We'll be there! I think...

(Meanwhile, at the Trump Tower in New York City, a hotel architect is presenting his idea of an ecologically-friendly hotel at Sunflower Valley to the chairman of the Trump Organisation.)

Hotel Architect: Just imagine, a hotel, that Bob and his team can build, that works together with nature!

Trump Chairman: Are you sure about that? I mean, we can always have them just build a regular hotel...

Hotel Architect: But Bob wants Sunflower Valley to be an eco-friendly place!

Trump Chairman: Hmm, yeah. Point taken.

Hotel Architect: Well, then... I'll contact Mr. Bentley and tell him about my hotel idea!

(The hotel architect leaves the chairman's office to contact a man named Mr. Bentley, who is the mayor of Sunflower Valley himself.)

(We fade to Mr. Bentley's office, where his phone rings. We then pan to him doing his usual stuff before answering the phone.)

Mr. Bentley: Hello? Mr. Bentley here. (phone noises) Yes? (phone noises) An eco-friendly hotel?! My, that will be splendid! (phone noises) Yes, I think so. I better go tell Bob and his machines about their next big building job!

(Mr. Bentley hangs up the phone, then picks up his checklists and clipboard and leaves to go tell Bob and his team of their next big building job.)

Part 2: Getting Ready for the Big Job/Meet Scratch
(We cut to Bob and his team at a field near Bobland Bay. They had just finished building another one of Sunflower Valley's eco-friendly houses.)

Bob: There! That ought to do it! Good job, team!

(But then, Mr. Bentley arrived to tell Bob and his team of their next big building job.)

Mr. Bentley: Hello, Bob.

Bob: Oh, good morning, Mr. Bentley. How are you today?

Mr. Bentley: I'm doing good. Uh, Bob?

Bob: Yes, Mr. Bentley?

Mr. Bentley: I just got a phone call from a hotel architect about his idea of an eco-friendly hotel at Sunflower Valley... and I was wondering if you would like to build it for him.

Bob: Hang on. Did you say "eco-friendly hotel"?

Mr. Bentley: Why, yes, Bob. He insisted that you are to build it here at Sunflower Valley. So, Bob, can you build it?

Bob: (thinks for a moment) Well... since Sunflower Valley is eco-friendly... I think... I can.

Mr. Bentley: So, does this mean you accept his request?

Bob: Yes, yes I do.

Mr. Bentley: And... does that mean you can build it?

Bob: Why, yes! Yes, I can!

Wendy, Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, Lofty, and Roley: Ahem!

(Bob looks at Wendy and the machines as they glare at him. He then looks at Mr. Bentley.)

Bob: Oh! I mean... yes. Yes, we can!

Mr. Bentley: Brilliant! Construction on the hotel will start first thing in the morning.

Bob: Oh, yeah, about that... there is just one small problem. We don't have enough workers to do the job!

Mr. Bentley: Eh? Oh! Oh, I see. Well then, I'll contact you via text message if I find any extra help that you need.

Bob: Okay.

Mr. Bentley: Good. Well, I have to head back to my office now. Good luck with your biggest building job yet.

Bob: Thank you, Mr. Bentley! Goodbye!

Mr. Bentley: Take care.

(Mr. Bentley walks away as he heads back to his office. Bob turns to Wendy.)

Bob: So, what shall we do now?

Wendy: We'll gather up every machine we might need for this big job!

Bob: Good idea, Wendy!

(We fade to Gripper and Grabber's shelters as Bob and Scoop arrive to get them to help his team for the big job.)

Gripper and Grabber: Hello, mates!

Gripper: Do you need any help?

Bob: Well, yes. Mr. Bentley has assigned my team to do our biggest building job yet. So, maybe you could help out?

Grabber: We love to!

Bob: Great! Meet me at the building site for the hotel first thing in the morning.

Gripper: You got it, Bob!

(We fade to Spud's straw house, where Farmer Pickles, Travis, Spud, Scruffty, Packer, and Sumsy are residing. Scruffty chases a mouse for a bit before Bob and Scoop arrive to get help from them.)

Scoop: Hey, Farmer Pickles!

Farmer Pickles: Well, hello, Scoop!

Bob: I came here to see if any of your machines would be willing to help me.

Travis: Uh... what do you need help with, exactly?

Bob: I've got a really big building job to do, and it starts in the morning!

Sumsy: I can help, Bob!

Travis: Well, I'm not so sure about that, Bob. I mean, it does look like it'll take a while to...

Bob: Don't worry, Travis! We got more time than we usually have!

Spud: Are you gonna be alright?

Scoop: Of course, Spud! We're gonna need all the help we can get!

Farmer Pickles: Well, I better go tell Packer that you're gonna need help on this big building job. (heads to Packer's shelter)

Bob: Good to hear!

(We fade to Bob hanging up on the phone and turning to Scoop.)

Bob: Well, I think that's everybody.

Scoop: Who did you send this time?

Bob: I sent a big machine to help you. I think he's your cousin!

Scoop: My cousin?

(Just then, just as Bob was about to answer, his phone rings, signifying a text message.)

Bob: Err, hang on a sec.

(He gets out his phone and checks the text message. We cut to the text message sent by Mr. Bentley, which reads "Sent Two-Tonne to send in a machine that could help you in your biggest building job yet. Should be here soon".)

Bob: "Sent Two-Tonne to send in a machine that could help you in your biggest building job yet"?

(We cut to Bob and Scoop.)

Bob: Oh, bother. "Should be here soon". Hmmm, okay. (puts his phone away)

Scoop: What now, Bob?

Bob: Scoop, Two-Tonne is arriving in Sunflower Valley soon with a special machine! We'd better head back and tell the other members about it!

Scoop: No prob, Bob!

(Bob gets on Scoop and they head back to his team. We then cut to the other members, which are all confused and worried about their building job.)

Muck: But... what about all the supplies that we need?

Dizzy: How am I supposed to pour concrete onto the upper levels?

Roley: How will I flatten the concrete on the upper levels?

Benny: What if we don't finish the hotel on time?

(We cut to Wendy, who reassures the machines.)

Wendy: Now, now, team. Bob has gotten help from almost every other machine in Sunflower Valley. They should probably start working with us first thing in the morning.

(We cut to Bob and Scoop, who have just returned to tell the other members of his team the good news.)

Bob: Hi, everyone! I have good news!

Scrambler (off-screen): Oh, boy!

Lofty (off-screen): Umm... That's great!

(We cut to an above view of the team.)

Bob: Two-Tonne is arriving in Sunflower Valley any moment now! And he's arriving with a very special machine!

(The other machines cheer.)

Scrambler: Wicked!

Lofty: But... who's it gonna be?

Wendy: You'll see, Lofty. You'll see.

(We fade to an empty road at the forest just outside of Sunflower Valley. Suddenly, a blue semi-trailer truck, carrying a small, blue skid-steer loader on a car trailer, drives along the road as it heads straight to Sunflower Valley.)

(As it drives by Mr. Beasley, he is astonished by the new machines.)

Mr. Beasley: Whoa! Just what are those machines?

(We cut to a sign saying "Welcome to Sunflower Valley" next to the road as the truck drives past it. Finally, it enters the town of Sunflower Valley itself.)

(We fade to Bob's team as they send the truck to a good parking space for the new skid-steer loader to arrive.)

Blue Truck: Hey, Bob!

Bob: Hello, Two-Tonne! What's that in your car trailer?

(We cut to Two-Tonne, who looks at the skid-steer loader in his car trailer.)

Two-Tonne: Well, it's a new machine that Mr. Bentley has assigned to help you with your biggest building job yet.

(We cut to Bob, who is with Scoop, Muck, and Wendy.)

Bob: That's fantastic!

Two-Tonne: I'll show him to you. (to the skid-steer loader) Okay, Scratch. You can come out now.

(Scratch steps out of the car trailer, thus revealing himself to everyone.)

Scratch: Oh! Oh, wow! My first day!

Scoop: Hey! You must be Scratch! Bob told us all about you. I'm Scoop!

Muck: And I'm Muck! Welcome to the team, Scratch! How are you doing?

Scratch: Oh, I'm kind of scared. I... want to fit in.

Roley: Don't worry. You'll feel at home in no time.

Dizzy: Yeah, especially when Bob gives you your first job.

Scratch: Ooh! I wonder what it'll be.

Bob: Hello, Scratch! I'm Bob... the Builder. Welcome to my team!

(The other machines cheer for Scratch.)

Bob: Today, you'll see what everyone does. We're about to start construction on the new eco-friendly hotel first thing in the morning, but in the meantime, we're gonna help you learn the basics of construction and what it means to be a truly good construction machine.

Scratch: Oh, wow! I can't wait!

(Bob puts on his helmet and goggles and gets on Scrambler, who turns around.)

Bob: Then follow me, Scratch.

(He and Scrambler race off, with Scratch following behind him. Two-Tonne then heads back to Bobsville a few moments later.)

Part 3: The Basics of Construction
(We fade to Bob teaching Scratch about the basics of construction.)

Bob: Construction 101 is now in session. Right! Off we go, then. (clears his throat) The construction process can be a long, complicated, and expensive process, which my team and I are used to.

Scratch: Ooh!

Bob: So, construction takes a lot of hard work, skill, patience, time, money, and most importantly, teamwork. This class is split into four lessons. I'll guide you through each one and make sure you get the hang of it. Okay?

Scratch: You got it!

(We fade to the planning table, where Bob, Wendy, and Scratch are at.)

Bob: Let's start with Lesson #1: Planning a Successful Build.

(Bob and Wendy draw a blueprint of an eco-friendly windmill and they show it to Scratch, who points his digger to where it needs fixing. They then make adjustments and show it to him once more. This time, he smirks to them, signifying that he thinks the plans are perfect. We fade back to Bob and Scratch.)

Bob: Okay, so, we've finished the first lesson. Now it's time for Lesson #2: Laying the Foundation.

(Bob marks where the foundations are going. We fade to Scoop and Muck scooping out some of the dirt that was in two of the marked foundations, with Bob and Scratch watching. We then cut to Scratch, who digs out one of the foundations and puts it aside, which amazes Bob. Scratch smiles at him. We fade to Dizzy mixing the concrete and pouring it into the foundation. We then fade to Roley flattening the concrete on the foundation. Finally, we fade back to Bob and Scratch.)

Bob: Two lessons learned, two more to go. Let's move on to Lesson #3: Constructing a Shell.

Scratch: Um, what's a shell?

Bob: It's a framework for a building. Here, I'll show you.

(Bob shows Scratch the framework for the eco-friendly windmill.)

Bob: This is what my team and I have done so far. Right now, the building is just a skeleton, but we'll have it completed soon enough.

Scratch: Oh! I get it now.

(We fade to Benny carrying steel beams for Lofty to carry. He puts them down on the floor and the crane machine then lifts them onto the building. Eventually, the framework for the eco-friendly windmill is finished, and we cut back to Scratch and Bob.)

Bob: Well, we've finished three out of four lessons. Now, it's time for the fourth and final lesson. Lesson #4: Finishing the Structure.

Scratch: Ooh! Sounds exciting! (spins around for a bit)

Bob: That is when a builder adds finishing touches to the building, such as fencing, bricks, carpentry, roofing, tiling, guttering, plastering, painting, and even plumbing.

(We fade to a montage of Bob and Wendy adding the finishing touches to the eco-friendly windmill, including carpentry, roofing, tiling, guttering, plastering, and painting. Eventually, the team has finished work on the eco-friendly windmill, and it's now complete. Bob, Wendy, and the machines cheer.)

Bob: Hooray! We did it! (turns to Scratch) Well, Scratch, it looks like you've managed to successfully learn all 4 lessons on the basics of construction... and I have helped you with that. Now you're ready for the real thing!

Scratch: Alright! Sweet!

Bob: But... that'll have to wait until tomorrow morning... when construction begins. Well, I hope you've learned something.

Scratch: Oh, I did learn something, alright. I learned about what it means to be part of the team when constructing things.

Bob: Good for you, Scratch! Good for you. Well, I'll let you go now. Have a good rest of your day, Scratch! I'll see you in the morning.

Scratch: Thanks! You too. Bye, Bob!

Bob: Bye, Scratch!

(Scratch drives away as Bob watches him go.)

(We cut to the other machines yawning.)

Scrambler: Bob, I'm getting kind of tired.

Benny: Yeah, me too.

Wendy: Well, let's head back home, then. We'll need plenty of rest for our big hotel building job!

Lofty: Big hotel building job, huh? Maybe... (he smirks to himself)

(We fade to the night sky as we pan over to Bobland Bay again. We then transition to the machines' shelters as they go to sleep and say "good night" to each other. We cut to Wendy waving "good night" to Bob.)

Wendy: Good night then, Bob.

(We cut to Bob at his mobile home, ready to go to sleep.)

Bob: Good night, Wendy.

(Pilchard enters Bob's mobile home again. This time, he moves out of the way to let her in. He then closes the door.)

(We cut to a field as a bunch of rabbits hop onto the road. Suddenly, a big digger, who looks almost exactly like Scoop, but bigger, and is orange rather than yellow, appears, causing the rabbits to hop away just in time as it continues to drive on the road.)

Big Digger: Oh, yeah! Feel the power! Feel the power!

(We pan over to the "Welcome to Sunflower Valley" sign and the big digger drives past it and enters the town of Sunflower Valley itself. We then pan up to the moon in the night sky.)

Part 4: The Construction Begins
(We fade to the clouds in the morning sky as we pan down to the sun rising on the horizon. The rooster crows off-screen. We then transition to Bob and Wendy walking over to Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, Roley, and Lofty, ready to wake them up.)

Bob: Morning, everybody! Rise and shine!

(The machines wake up. We cut to Bob.)

Bob: It's gonna be a really busy day!

(We cut back to the machines.)

Wendy: We're gonna start construction work on the eco-friendly hotel today!

(The machines cheer as they all leave the shed and prepare to start work on the big eco-friendly hotel building job.)

(We fade to an aerial shot of the construction site of the eco-friendly hotel as we pan down and zoom in to Bob and the other machines, including Scratch, who are arriving at the building site. Bob and Wendy get off Scoop and Muck.)

Bob: Okay, team. Mr. Bentley will be here with the instructions and blueprints sent to him from the hotel architect. He should be here any moment now.

(But then, Bob sees Mr. Bentley arrive at the building site just in time.)

Bob: Ah! Perfect timing.

Mr. Bentley: Hello, Bob!

Bob: Hi, Mr. Bentley! Did you get the instructions and blueprints for the eco-friendly hotel?

Mr. Bentley: Yes, Bob. Here you go.

(Mr. Bentley gives Bob the instructions and blueprints for the eco-friendly hotel from the hotel architect.)

Bob: Thank you. (looks at the instructions and blueprints) Hmmm, let's see. (reads the instructions) "To make an eco-friendly hotel, you must follow these steps. Step 1: Recycle your old beds and mattresses. Step 2: Start a linen reuse programme in all guest rooms. Step 3: Save water. Step 4: Save energy. Step 5: Monitor, record, and post rates of energy and water use. Step 6: Buy in bulk. Step 7: Recycle. Step 8: Buy organic, fair trade, cruelty-free guest amenity products whenever possible. Step 9: Clean green. Step 10: Get the guests motivated to use green transportation options. Step 11: Avoid disposable products or throwing away useful items. Step 12: Try green dining. Step 13: Garden with consideration for protecting the ecosystem and water-saving. Step 14: Create an incentive programme to encourage your staff. And Step 15: Provide discounts to eco-oriented groups. The full information is at the actual green hotel instruction book. Enjoy your green hotel!" Is that it?

Mr. Bentley: Yes, Bob. That's exactly it. Well, I gotta go now. Good luck with your big building job, uh... Bob.

Bob: Thanks, Mr. Bentley! Goodbye!

Mr. Bentley: Bye, Bob!

(Mr. Bentley walks away as he heads back to his office. Bob turns to Wendy and the machines.)

Bob: Okay, team. We've got an eco-friendly hotel to build. So, can we build it?

Wendy, Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, Roley, Lofty, Benny, and Scratch: Yes, we can!

Lofty: Uh, yeah. I think so.

Bob: Alright, then! Let's get to work!

(Bob, Wendy, and the machines begin working on the new eco-friendly hotel. Travis, Sumsy, Packer, Gripper, and Grabber all help out by gathering the materials and supplies they will need for the hotel.)

(We transition to Bob and the other machines working on laying the foundations for the eco-friendly hotel. As Scoop is digging up the foundations, he hears something that makes him all confused.)

Big Digger: Hey, buddy!

Scoop: Huh? W-who's there?

(He investigates the building site to find out where the noise was coming from.)

Scoop: Show yourself!

(The noise gets louder and louder as Scoop gets closer and closer to where it's coming from.)

Big Digger: I will show myself to you... if you... can come closer to me so I can see you.

Scoop: Um, okay. Whatever you say.

(So Scoop did what the big digger asked as he gets closer and closer until he finally sees the big orange digger himself hiding behind a giant rock sitting on the field. He audibly gasps. He couldn't believe what he was seeing! Or was he?)

Scoop: Is that... m-m-m... my cousin? (ponders for a moment) Is it you?

Big Digger: That's right, cuz. (moves away from the rock and faces Scoop) It's me. Your best friend. Don't you know?

Scoop: (happy) Oh, Ace! It is you!

Ace: That's right, Scoop. Bob told me that you and the other members could use a lot of help with your biggest building job yet! Well, it's actually Bob's biggest building job yet, but you know what I mean.

Scoop: Well, I'm glad you're on the team, Ace.

(We cut to Ace.)

Ace: I sure am, too, my friend.

Scoop: Follow me! I think Bob would be very happy to see you!

Ace: Whatever you say, cuz.

(Ace follows Scoop as he goes over to Bob, ready to show Ace to his team for the first time.)

Scoop: Hey, Bob! You'll never believe who's here to see me and you.

Bob: Really? Who?

(We cut to Scoop.)

Scoop: Bob, I would like to introduce to you... my big cousin Ace.

(As Scoop introduces Ace to Bob and the other machines, we zoom out until Ace is in the frame.)

Ace: Greetings and salutations, Bob. I'm Ace. It's very nice to meet you.

(We cut to Bob and Roley.)

Bob: Hello, Ace! Welcome to my team!

(We cut to Ace and Scoop, who are facing Bob.)

Ace: Thanks, Bob! Sounds like you could use a lot of help on your biggest building job yet, huh?

Bob: Of course, Ace! We are just getting started.

Ace: Great!

Bob: Right now, we're laying the foundations for the new eco-friendly hotel, and I was wondering if you could help out.

Ace: Sure thing, boss... I mean "Bob".

Bob: Good. Scoop, I need you and Ace to go to the foundations and finish digging them out.

Scoop: No prob, Bob! Come on, Ace! Let's go!

(Ace follows Scoop as he leads him to the foundations for the eco-friendly hotel.)

Scoop: Now, if we can work together, we just might be able to get all the foundations ready!

Ace: No prob, cuz!

(They start to dig out the foundations for the hotel along with Muck, Scratch, and Benny. Soon, they have dug out all the foundations Bob has marked.)

Scoop: Nice work, everyone! Thanks for helping me and my friends dig out the foundations, Ace.

Ace: No prob, cuz! It's a pleasure doing business with you, Bob, and the others.

Scoop: It sure is... for you.

Ace: Okay, Bob! We're all done with the foundations.

(Bob walks over to inspect and check the foundations for the eco-friendly hotel.)

Bob: Wow! I must say, you're all doing a wonderful job. Keep up the good work! Now it's time to fill in those holes with concrete.

(We fade to Dizzy and Tumbler filling all the holes with concrete in a brief montage. Eventually, all the holes are filled with concrete.)

Bob: Okay, so all the holes, the foundations we made, are now filled with concrete. Is that right?

Dizzy: Yep! That's correct!

Bob: Alright, then. Let's move on to the next phase.

Roley: Ooh! The next phase, huh? Please tell us the next phase.

Scoop: Yeah, Bob! Tell us! Please!

Bob: Okay! Okay. I'll tell you what the next phase is going to be... and that is... building some floors.

Scoop: Building some floors for the hotel, eh? Well then, how many floors are there going to be in the hotel?

Bob: I don't know. 75, or 82, or maybe 100? I just don't know.

Scoop: Did you try checking the hotel building instruction book?

Bob: (thinks for a moment) Uh, no? Why?

Scoop: Well, in one of the book's pages, it should tell you how many floors there are in an average hotel, let alone an average eco-friendly hotel.

Wendy: I think Scoop's got the point, you know.

Bob: Well, alright. I guess I'll have to find out for myself somehow. Just give me a second.

(Bob takes out the hotel building instruction book and reads it very carefully as he reaches the page that tells the reader how many floors there are in an average hotel.)

(As Bob is searching through the hotel building instruction book, we cut to Lofty, who is scheming of something.)

Lofty: Hmm... What if I were to make some adjustments to the eco-friendly hotel... the Lofty way? (chuckles) I like the sound of that.

Benny: Lofty?

(Lofty turns to Benny and Roley, who are confused.)

Roley: Are you scheming something?

(We cut to Lofty who seemingly realises what he was doing.)

Lofty: Oh, umm... It was nothing.

(We cut to Benny and Roley, who are with Scrambler.)

Lofty (off-screen): Just thinking to myself.

Roley: Well, forget I asked.

(We cut back to Lofty.)

Lofty: Okay... good luck with... umm.. whatever you're doing.

(Lofty turns back around and faces Bob, who has just finished checking how many floors are in an average hotel.)

Lofty: So, Bob, did you check how many floors there are in an average hotel?

Bob: I'm still thinking and reading.

Lofty: Oh! Uh, okay.

(Lofty leaves Bob alone as he reads the page again just to make sure he knows it already.)

(Lofty then leaves to go find some steel beams he could use to make adjustments to the hotel in his way.)

(We transition to Lofty finding a couple of steel beams that he can use. Just then, Sumsy shows up.)

Sumsy: Lofty, what are you doing?

Lofty: Oh, err... Just... err... getting the steel beams for the hotel.

Sumsy: Would you like me to get a few for you?

Lofty: Uhh… sure!

(Sumsy lifts a few of the steel beams and brings it to the construction site. Lofty follows behind her with the one remaining in his claw. We cut to Roley feeling bored. Bird flies over and sits on top of Roley.)

Roley: (sighs) I'm bored.

(Bird toots to Roley in agreement. Muck drives over to see Roley feeling bored.)

Muck: Hey, Roley!

Roley: Oh! Hey, Muck.

Muck: Is there something wrong?

Roley: No, nothing's wrong. It's just... well, Bob's being so lazy today for some reason. Now I feel bored because we've got nothing else to do until Bob finds out the answer to the question.

Muck: Question? What question?

Roley: The question that says "How many floors are there in an average hotel?". That's the question Bob is trying to find out the answer to.

Muck: Oh! That question. Well, since Bob is spending some time trying to find out how many floors there are in an average hotel at the time being, we should do something fun! What do you think?

Roley: I say "Aye aye, skipper!" Don't you agree, Bird?

(Bird toots to Roley in agreement.)

Roley: Bird says he agrees with me.

Muck: Brilliant! But... we have to do something fun until Bob finds out the answer to that question and gets back to work. Now, come on!

Roley: Okay!

(Muck and Roley drive away to do something fun while Bird follows them.)

(Lofty and Sumsy came back with the steel beams and place them down on the ground. He turns to her.)

Lofty: Thanks, Sumsy!

Sumsy: A real pleasure helping you, Lofty!

(Sumsy turns around and starts to seek the valley and Bobsville to find any more supplies Bob and the team might need, leaving Lofty alone with the steel beams.)

Lofty: (to himself) Now, what adjustments should I make to the hotel? (he looks at the steel beams for a moment) Hmmm...

Part 5: Funtime
(We transition to Roley and Muck driving through the valley, still looking for something fun to do.)

Roley: So, uh... what should we do first?

Muck: (thinks for a moment) Hmmm... I'm not sure.

(Muck looks at a rock, then at a mountain, then at a waterfall, and then at a big puddle of mud. Then, he had an idea.)

Muck: I know! Let's go play hide-and-seek.

Roley: Okay! I'll go hide somewhere while you count to... (murmuring the numbers 1-10 quickly) 10! Is that alright with you?

Muck: I guess.

Roley: Great! Muck, start counting!

Muck: Okay!

(While Roley drives away to hide behind a rock, Muck counts to ten.)

Muck: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! Ready or not, here I come!

(Muck starts looking for Roley. He looks in various places, hoping to find him, but to no avail. We cut to Roley, who chuckles to himself.)

Roley: Muck will never know what could be behind this rock!

(We zoom out to reveal that Roley is actually behind a huge boulder on top of a small mountain in front of a larger mountain.)

(We transition to Lofty lifting the steel beams into place, forming into what appears to be a vision of his adjustments to the hotel.)

Lofty: Well, Bob may not know how many floors there are in an average hotel, and he certainly doesn't know how many floors in the hotel we're gonna build, but... I think I'll just start off with the first floor... uh... first. I'm sure Bob won't mind if I make any adjustments to the hotel my way... the Lofty way.

(Lofty is busy placing the steel beams wherever he wants to place them when Scoop comes over to see him.)

Scoop: Hey, Lofty!

Lofty: Oh! Hi, Scoop.

Scoop: Whatcha doin'?

Lofty: Making adjustments to the hotel. Why?

Scoop: Just wondering. Hey, listen. Bob has been reading the same page on the instruction book for, like, 7 minutes and 11 seconds... and he still doesn't know how many floors there are in an average hotel, let alone an average eco-friendly hotel. Not to mention that Bob is being so lazy today.

Lofty: Oh! Oh, yes. Yes. I noticed.

Scoop: Oh, so you did, Lofty. Anyway, Bob's laziness has made most of us feel bored. In fact, some of us have decided to look for something fun to... you know, let time pass by until Bob finally finds out how many floors there are in an average hotel. Then, we can get back to work, but not in this case.

Lofty: Oh! I see. Uh, Scoop?

Scoop: Yes, Lofty?

Lofty: When will Bob find out the answer to that question?

Scoop: I don't know yet, Lofty. I just don't know.

Lofty: Oh.

Scoop: Well, I gotta go meet up with Benny and Dizzy. So, uh... I'll see you later, then, I guess. Bye, Lofty!

Lofty: Bye, Scoop!

(Scoop drives away to see Benny and Dizzy while Lofty continues making adjustments to the hotel.)

(We fade to Benny and Dizzy waiting for Scoop. They are bored out of their minds and want to do something fun.)

Dizzy: Oh, I'm quite bored.

Benny: Yeah, me too.

(Just then, Scoop meets up with them again.)

Scoop: Hey, guys.

Dizzy and Benny: Hi, Scoop!

Dizzy: How's Bob doing?

Scoop: Still lazy. It's been 8 whole minutes, and I must say, it's been one of those days.

Dizzy: Oh, yeah. True.

Benny: True.

Dizzy: How's Lofty doing?

Scoop: Nothing much... besides making adjustments to the hotel and whatnot.

Benny: Lofty... making adjustments to the hotel? That's some seriously stupid karma.

Scoop: Exactly! It's like... Lofty doesn't mind if he continues working while Bob is lazy. He must have gone bonkers.

Benny: Oh, I see. The psychopath treatment, is it?

Scoop: Yep. Lofty gave me that treatment. Maybe it's time Lofty takes a break from working until Bob is done with his break.

Benny: Oh, yeah. That's a good point.

Dizzy: Yes! Definitely a good point!

(But then, Scratch and Scrambler came up to them.)

Scratch: Hey, guys? Is there something wrong with Lofty?

(We cut to Scratch and Scrambler, who are worried about Lofty.)

Scrambler: Like, isn't Lofty supposed to be doing something else besides making adjustments to the hotel?

(We cut to Scoop, who is also worried about Lofty.)

Scoop: Well, that's what we were worried about, too.

(We cut to the group shot of the five machines.)

Benny: Oh, that's interesting, banana peel!

Scoop: I better go check on Lofty, then, and see what's up with him, maybe get him to do something other than making adjustments. Scratch, Scrambler, follow me. Dizzy, Benny, you two go look for something fun to do.

Benny: Fine by me, banana peel!

(Dizzy and Benny go look for something fun to do, while Scoop, Scratch, and Scrambler go to check up on Lofty and see what's wrong with him.)

(We transition to Lofty still making adjustments to the hotel when Scoop, Scratch, and Scrambler arrive to check on him.)

Scoop: Lofty, are you still making adjustments to the hotel?

Lofty: Yep.

Scoop: Don't you get tired of doing any work while Bob is on his break?

Lofty: Nope.

Scoop: Well, you've gotta do something other than working on the hotel.

Lofty: Huh? What do you mean by that?

Scoop: I'm trying to get you to do something fun other than working. Come on, Lofty! Please! I'm begging you!

Lofty: Sorry! I can't stop now! What if we never finish the hotel on time?

Scoop: Never mind that, Lofty. I'm sure we can continue building the hotel once Bob finishes his break.

Lofty: Are you sure?

Scoop: Of course I'm sure.

Lofty: Well, okay. I'll be right there.

Scoop: No, no. That's okay. Take your time. (turns to Scratch and Scrambler) I don't think this is working.

Scratch: Nope.

Scrambler: Not at all.

(Scoop then turns to Lofty.)

Scoop: If you change your mind and if you need me, come find me. I'll be hanging out with Scratch and Scrambler.

Lofty: Okay, Scoop.

Scoop: Well, I gotta go now. See you later, Lofty!

Lofty: See ya.

(Scoop, Scratch, and Scrambler leave Lofty alone as he continues making adjustments to the hotel.)

Scratch: You were right, Scoop. This isn't working.

Scrambler: Yeah. It's no good.

Scoop: Don't worry about Lofty. He just... needs to spend some time alone.

Scratch: You think so?

Scoop: I know so.

Scratch: (sighs) Alright.

(The conversation between the three pauses for 5 seconds. Scoop begins to speak again.)

Scoop: You know, guys? I'm starting to doubt we'll ever finish the hotel on time with Bob being lazy and all. So... shall we find something fun to do in the meantime?

(Scratch and Scrambler look at each other. Then, they look at Scoop.)

Scratch: Okay.

Scrambler: Sure!

Scoop: Great! Let's go!

(Scoop, Scrambler, and Scratch drive away to find something fun to do just to let time pass by. Meanwhile, Lofty is still making adjustments to the hotel.)

Lofty: Hmm, maybe the steel beams could be in a different position.

(Lofty proceeds to remove the steel beams and place them back down on the ground before he starts placing them in different positions again.)

Lofty: Hmm... Nope.

(We cut to Lofty looking at the steel beams on the ground. They're all over the place.)

Lofty: Nope.

(We cut to Lofty looking at the steel beams on the ground again. This time, they're made into a big pile.)

Lofty: Nope.

(We cut to Lofty looking at the steel beams on the ground again. This time, they're made into a big spiral staircase.)

Lofty: Nope.

(We cut to Lofty looking at the steel beams on the ground again. This time, they're made into the framework for a tunnel.)

Lofty: Err... no.

(Lofty becomes silent for 3 seconds and then gets frustrated.)

Lofty: Aargh! Why does it always have to be so difficult? (bangs his head on one of the steel beams three times) Why? Why? Why?

(Lofty unknowingly knocks the steel beams over by mistake. It wasn't until his head recovers a bit to see what has happened.)

Lofty: Oh. Oh, dear.

(Lofty looks around the building site for damage. Then, he sees Bob, who is still reading the same page from the instruction book.)

Lofty: Phew! That was a close call. It's lucky none of the steel beams knock him out. He'll be rushed to the hospital otherwise.

(Lofty later looks back at the steel beams again. This time, they're all over the place as the result of being knocked down by mistake.)

Lofty: Now, how am I supposed to make any further adjustments to the hotel?

(We cut to Lofty, grinning to himself.)

Lofty: Maybe...

(He lifts one of the steel beams with his claw.)

Lofty: Oh, uh, yeah. Maybe I can make a sturdier frame to the hotel if I took all those steel beams and placed them in proper positions. That'll be sure to surprise Bob and the other machines!

(As he explains his plan to himself, he takes one of the steel beams and placed it near the hotel. As soon as Lofty places it there, he chuckles to himself for 1 second.)

Lofty: This is going to be absolutely positively brilliant!

(We cut to Muck driving all the way up to the top of a small mountain where Roley is behind a huge boulder.)

Muck: Gotcha!

Roley: Oh! You found me. Aw!

Muck: Ha! You're it!

(Muck laughs happily while Roley laughs nervously. They both stop laughing as they see Lofty in the distance.)

Muck and Roley: Huh?

Muck: Hey. What is Lofty doing?

Roley: I have no idea.

(We cut to Roley and Muck.)

Muck: Maybe he's just having fun... like we are?

Roley: Or maybe he's making adjustments to the hotel.

(Bird toots to Roley in response. We then cut to Muck, who was shocked of what Roley just said.)

Muck: Making adjustments?! But isn't Lofty supposed to be doing something other than that?

(We cut to Roley and Bird.)

Roley: Well, maybe he's getting bored, and decided to envision how his adjustments would look like.

(Bird toots to Roley in agreement. We then cut back to Muck and Roley.)

Muck: You... kind of have a good point there, Roley. Shall we go check up on Lofty?

Roley: Rock and roll!

(There is silence for two seconds. Muck then breaks the silence.)

Muck: I'll take that as a "yes".

Roley: Then let's go!

(They head over to Lofty, checking to see if he is alright.)

Part 6: Lofty's Mistake
(Lofty is still making adjustments to the hotel while everyone else is taking a break. Because of this, he's completely lost his mind and goes overboard on the adjustments. Muck and Roley come over to see if Lofty is alright.)

Muck: Hey, Lofty.

Lofty: Whoa! Oh! Hello, guys. Fancy seeing you here. What are you two doing here, by the way?

Muck: Roley and I are just checking to see if you're okay. So, are you okay?

Lofty: Why, yes. I'm perfectly fine! (smiles nervously)

Muck: Hmmm, it doesn't look like it.

Lofty: Wait, what? What do you mean?

Roley: We saw you in the distance. You were trying to make some adjustments to the hotel, weren't you?

Lofty: (gets nervous and then sighs) You're right. I was trying to make adjustments to the hotel and make it my way.

Muck: Don't you have anything else to do other than that?

Lofty: Nope. That's all I'm doing.

Roley: Don't you, like, get tired of doing any work while Bob is on his break?

Lofty: Nope. (stops for a second and glares at Muck and Roley) Wait a minute!

Muck: What? What's wrong with taking a break while Bob is on his break?

Lofty: You're just trying to convince me to do something else besides working on the hotel, aren't you?

Muck: Well, yes, and... we want you to do something fun, just to let time pass by.

Lofty: What? And give up building the hotel? Not a chance! Sorry! I can't stop now! What if we never finish the hotel on time?

Muck: Never mind that, Lofty. I'm sure we can continue building the hotel once Bob finishes his break.

Lofty: Are you sure?

Muck: Of course I'm sure.

Lofty: Well, okay. (stops for a second and glares at Muck and Roley) Hang on! I know what you're gonna do! You're gonna take me away from the building site and make me do something fun, aren't you? Well, I ain't falling for that trick.

Muck: What?! No! Who told you that?

Lofty: I... I... I... I don't know.

Muck: Lofty, I hate to say this to you, but... I think you're starting to lose your mind.

Lofty: Me? Lose my mind? That's silly.

Muck: No, Lofty. I mean it.

Lofty: Pfft, big deal. Everyone knows you can't just lose your mind. You'll be dead without it.

Muck: (sighs) Look, when you lose your mind, it means you're starting to go crazy and become stupid.

Lofty: Wait, what?

Muck: You heard me! Now, come on, Lofty! It's time you take a break from building for a while.

Lofty: Oh! Uh... Sorry! I can't stop now! I must do what I have to do!

(Lofty turns around and heads towards a pile of steel beams.)

Muck: Lofty? Lofty, wait! Stop! You're gonna hurt yourself!

Roley: Yeah! Don't do anything stupid or crazy or anything like that!

Muck and Roley: Lofty!

(Lofty takes out one of the steel beams from the pile with his claw and backs up to lower it, but little does he know that he backed up too far that he's about to fall off a cliff as a rumbling sound effect is heard.)

Muck: Lofty?

Lofty: Gently... does it.

(Suddenly, Lofty's wheels begin to slip off the cliff.)

Lofty: Whoa!

(Meanwhile, Scoop, Scratch, Scrambler, Dizzy, and Benny are playfully chasing each other when all of a sudden, they stop and hear Lofty's cry for help.)

Lofty: (echoing) Help! I'm slipping!

Scoop: Did you hear that?

Scrambler: Hear what?

Scoop: That sounds like... (gasps)

Scoop, Scratch, Scrambler, Dizzy, and Benny: Lofty!

(We cut to Lofty beginning to slip off the cliff.)

Lofty: Help! Help!

(We cut back to Scoop, Scratch, Scrambler, Dizzy, and Benny.)

Scoop: We've gotta rescue Lofty before it's too late! Can we do it?

Scoop, Scratch, Scrambler, Dizzy, and Benny: Yes, we can!

Scoop: Awesome! Now come on, team! Let's go!

(Scoop, Scratch, Scrambler, Dizzy, and Benny head towards the bottom of the cliff. We cut back to Lofty at the edge of the cliff.)

Lofty: Oh! I can't hold on to the ground much longer!

Muck: Oh...

Roley: ...dear!

(Lofty falls off the cliff and drops the steel beam down on the ground as he tumbles down to the caves and the rocks start to roll down.)

Lofty: Waughhhhh!

(We cut to Scoop, Scratch, Scrambler, Dizzy, and Benny watching Lofty fall towards the ground. Scoop gasps at what he just saw.)

Scoop: Scrambler! Let's catch him!

Scrambler: You got it, Scoop!

(Scoop and Scrambler prepare to catch Lofty to prevent him from falling into the caves, and as they see him falling towards them, Scoop and Scrambler move around until Lofty is closer to them.)

Scoop: I got him.

Scrambler: I got him!

Scoop: You got him? No, wait. Who's got him? Call it in the air.

Scrambler: It's him! I'll get him!

Scoop: Wait! Quick, get him.

Scrambler: No. Wait! No, I got him!

(While they move around, Scoop and Scrambler accidentally hit each other on the head with their own heads. Unfortunately, Lofty falls behind Scoop and Scrambler as they both miss the target. Lofty then crashes to the ground.)

Lofty: Oh!

(Scoop and Scrambler turn around to see Lofty.)

Scrambler and Scoop: Lofty?

Lofty: Oh! Hey, guys! Fancy seeing you here.

(Lofty begins to slip off again. This time, he's about to fall into the caves.)

Lofty: Whoa! What's happening?

(Scoop and Scrambler run towards Lofty as they try to prevent him from falling into the caves.)

Scrambler and Scoop: Lofty!

Lofty: He-e-e-e-elp!

(But it was too late. Lofty has already fallen into the caves as the last of the rocks have fallen to the ground, leaving the two machines worried.)

Scoop: Lofty! Noooo!

Scrambler: He's... he's gone!

(All of the other machines come over to where Scoop and Scrambler are at.)

Dizzy: What's wrong?

Scoop: Lofty was making adjustments to the hotel, but he backed up too far that he was close to the edge of the cliff. He didn't watch out where he was going, and then, he fell off the cliff. Me and Scrambler tried to catch Lofty, but he fell behind us and crashed to the ground. We even tried to prevent him from falling into the caves, but it was too late! Lofty... is... gone! He's a goner for sure.

Dizzy: Oh my! That is bad!

Scoop: I know! If Lofty hadn't done anything stupid and crazy that can put him in grave danger, none of this would have happened!

Dizzy: Oh! Oh, dear. That's not good. When Bob sees this, we'll all be in big trouble!

Scoop: Oh, yeah. Speaking of Bob, where is he?

(We cut to Bob, trying to figure out what happened.)

Bob: What was all that noise I just heard? Was it the rocks or was it Lofty?

(However, Bob simply shrugs, as if whatever happened to Lofty was none of his business. At least, not yet...)

Bob: Ehh. Probably just a landslide or something.

(Bob returns to looking at the same page he was looking at, still trying to figure out how many floors are in an average hotel.)

Part 7: Stranded/Meet the Stranded Machines
(We fade to a dark cave where Lofty is all alone, stranded in there.)

Lofty: Err... h-hello? Is anyone here? Hello?

(Lofty starts exploring the cave.)

Lofty: Are you there? No? Oh. It's no good. I'm completely lost, trapped, and stranded... and my friends are probably wondering where on Earth I am. (sees a bat) Oh!

(The bat flies away from Lofty.)

Lofty: Well, now that I've mentioned it, so am I.

(The bat flies to a cave tunnel and stays on top of it, getting Lofty all curious.)

Lofty: Huh? What is that bat trying to show me?

(Lofty moves to a cave tunnel, but then moves back from it a bit.)

Lofty: Oh, no... What if there are monsters in there?

(However, Lofty didn't want to stay in the caves. He knew he had to get back to his friends before it was too late.)

Lofty: (to himself) Just stay focused, Lofty. You have to get back to your friends and try to help them before it's too late.

(Lofty proceeds to go through the tunnel, hoping that he would find an exit.)

Lofty: Well, here it goes.

(Lofty goes through the tunnel only to be led to another cave.)

Lofty: What?! No exit?! You've gotta be kidding me! (gets scared) Oh! It looks like I'll have to spend the rest of my life living in caves.

???: Not if you truly want to get out, like we do.

(Lofty turns around, startled by the voice that echoes through the tunnels.)

Lofty: Huh? W-who's there?

(Lofty begins to wander through the caves.)

Lofty: Show yourself!

???: I will show myself to you... if you... can come find me where I can see you.

Lofty: Err, okay. Whatever you say.

(We fade to Lofty coming to the spot where the voice is coming from. What he saw before his eyes shocked and surprised him.)

Lofty: Holy cow! Is that what I think it is?

(We cut to the silhouettes of the three machines, who are also stranded, like Lofty.)

Lofty: Whoa! There's, like, three of them.

(We cut to Lofty, amazed and shocked of those machines.)

Lofty: Who are you?

(The first of the three silhouettes steps into the light, revealing himself to Lofty as a truck.)

Truck: My name... is Donald Truckson. But you can call me Donny or Don.

(We cut to Lofty and Donny.)

Lofty: Whoa... That's amazing.

Donny: Yep.

Lofty: It's nice to meet you, Donny. I'm Lofty.

Donny: Nice to meet you, Lofty.

(Two other silhouettes step into the light and parked by Donny, revealing themselves to Lofty as a drill tank and a buzzsaw tank.)

Donny: I'd like you to meet my friends, Drilly and Razor.

(As Donny introduces the other two Stranded Machines, we pan from Drilly to Razor.)

Razor: We're so glad you're here, Lofty!

(We cut to Drilly.)

Drilly: Yeah! We've been stranded here for quite a while, now! I mean, if we weren't stranded here in the first place, then we wouldn't be called the Stranded Machines! (laughs)

(We cut to Lofty.)

Lofty: Uhh… yeah! That's great! (confused) Say, how did you three end up stranded here like me, anyway?

Donny: We were on a mining trip at the Sunflower Valley Mines three years ago.

(We fade to a flashback sequence where Donny, Drilly, and Razor are with their owner, a miner named Minnie, at the Sunflower Valley Mines.)

Donny: (narrating) Our owner, a miner named Minnie, had been working on the mines for years. Of course, we used to help her find minerals in caves such as stone, coal, copper, zinc, iron, lapis lazuli, silver, gold, diamonds, redstone, emeralds, and even quartz.

(Donny, Drilly, and Razor leave to explore a huge, dark cave while Minnie is too busy making coins out of silver, gold, copper, and zinc respectively.)

Donny: (narrating) Everything seemed to be normal at first, until one fateful day, when Minnie was too busy making coins out of mined materials she forgot to check on us.

(Donny, Drilly, and Razor hear the rumbling, and then, they look at the cave formations on the ceiling. The formations become so weak they fall off the ceiling and block the exit, causing a cave-in.)

Donny: (narrating) We were searching for more minerals in the cave we're in. But then, everything changed. There was a cave-in... and we ended up becoming lost and stranded in the cave for the rest of our lives.

Donny, Drilly, and Razor: Help! Help!

Donny: (narrating) We tried to call for help but to no avail. Minnie left the mines not with us but with her newly-made metal money instead.

(The flashback sequence ends as we fade back to the present day.)

Donny: And we've been stranded here ever since.

Lofty: Oh my! That is a very sad story.

Donny: I know. And Minnie never came back to find us due to her increasing wealth... and because she started her moneymaking business while also being in charge of her mining business.

Lofty: Wow! That's very mean of her, leaving you three behind.

Donny: I know. (sighs) I wish we could find a way out of this place.

Lofty: Yeah... so do I.

Donny: Oh, so you do, huh. Welcome aboard! It looks like we'll have to stay in the caves for a while until the moment of escape comes at the right time.

Razor: And maybe uncover more mysteries of the caves!

Drilly: Perhaps there could be a tunnel that connects to Bobsville, or maybe even Sunflower Valley!

Lofty: (to himself) Sunflower Valley, huh? (to the Stranded Machines) Err… Yeah! Sounds fine by me! I think...

Part 8: The Search Party
(We fade to Bob, Wendy, and the machines (except Lofty) preparing to go home for the night.)

Scoop: So, Bob, have you finally figured out how many floors there are in an average hotel?

Dizzy: Yeah, Bob! How were you being lazy all day?

Bob: I've been reading the same page for hours, and I still don't know the answer to the same question yet. (sighs) You know what, maybe it's time we call it a day and go home for the night. We'll continue working on the hotel tomorrow morning.

Scoop: Okay!

Bob: Is anyone ready?

Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, and Roley: Ready!

Wendy: Ready when you are, Bob!

Bob: Lofty, are you ready to go home for the night? Lofty?

Scoop: Uh, Bob, I hate to break it to you, but... it appears that Lofty has gone missing.

Bob: Missing, eh? What do you mean Lofty is missing? Don't tell me he got lost!

Scoop: Well, unfortunately, he did.

Bob: Why?

Scoop: Well, to make a very long story short... (takes a deep breath and starts talking fast) Lofty was making adjustments to the hotel, but he backed up too far that he was close to the edge of the cliff. He didn't watch out where he was going, and then, he fell off the cliff. Me and Scrambler tried to catch Lofty, but he fell behind us and crashed to the ground. We even tried to prevent him from falling into the caves, but it was too late! (talks normally again) Lofty... is... gone! He's a goner for sure.

(Bob gasps as he realised he was too busy reading the same page from the instruction book, just to figure out how many floors there are in an average hotel, that he had forgotten all about Lofty.)

Bob: Oh, bother! That is bad news! I was too busy reading the same page from the instruction book, just to figure out how many floors there are in an average hotel, that I had forgotten all about Lofty! Oh! If only I hadn't spent so much time reading that same page from that book, we could have finished the hotel quicker and sooner! Surely, none of this would have happened!

Scoop: I know, right? Oh, Bob, what can we do?

Bob: I don't know, Scoop. I suppose we'll have to cancel the project and call it quits.

Wendy: Oh no! Don't do anything hasty, Bob. We'll help you find Lofty.

Bob: You... help me... find Lofty?

Wendy: Yeah! I'm sure he's out there somewhere.

Bob: (to himself) Hmmm... Find Lofty, eh?

(Then, Bob had an idea as a lightbulb appears floating on top of his head. It then shines bright and disappears.)

Bob: Yes! That's it! We'll form a search party. Don't worry, team. We'll find him.

Scoop: Bob's right. We've got a crane machine to find and save. So, can we find him?

Bob, Wendy, and the Machines (except Lofty): Yes, we can!

Scratch: Well, normally, Lofty said it, but... Uh, yeah. I think so.

(The next morning, Bob has gathered up Wendy, Spud, and the other machines for an important meeting.)

Travis: So, Bob, why are we here again?

Bob: Because I'm gonna need everyone's help to find Lofty before it's too late!

(We cut to Travis and Tumbler, with Spud in Travis' trailer.)

Spud: But where could he be?

Tumbler: He could be anywhere.

(We cut to Dizzy, who is with Bob and Wendy.)

Dizzy: Even in the caves?

Bob: I'm positive, Dizzy.

Dizzy: Brilliant! But, which groups are going to search for him?

Bob: Well, I want Group 1 to search for Lofty in the forest, at the valleys, in the mountains, and even at the beach. In other words, Group 1 shall find Lofty in the natural parts of Sunflower Valley. Now, as for Group 2, I want them to find him in the village and anywhere on the farm. In other words, Group 2 shall find Lofty in the residential, commercial, and industrial parts of Sunflower Valley.

Muck: That sounds great!

Roley: But who's gonna be the members of both groups?

Scoop: Why don't you let Travis and Spud be part of Group 1?

Travis: Oh, dear... I don't know...

Scoop: Oh, come on! We've got to find Lofty!

Travis: Well, whatever you say, Scoop.

Spud: Awww... poor Lofty...

(Travis and Spud leave to search for Lofty in the natural parts of Sunflower Valley.)

Bob: Okay. Now, Splasher, Ace, Gripper, Grabber, and Packer will also be part of Group 1. As for everyone else, we are Group 2. Correct?

Roley: Yes?

Bob: So, let's go find Lofty in the residential, commercial, and industrial parts of Sunflower Valley.

Dizzy: Brilliant!

Bob: Now, can we find him?

Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, Roley, and Scratch: Yes, we can!

Scratch: Uh, yeah. I think so.

(We fade to Splasher looking around the beach and the ocean to find Lofty but to no avail. We then transition to Bob, Wendy, and the machines (except Lofty) looking around the farm for Lofty.)

Scoop: Lofty, are you there?

Roley: Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Scrambler: He's not in this spot.

Scratch: He's not here, either.

Benny: I looked behind Spud's straw house, and he's not here.

Wendy: (ponders) Maybe it's because we're not looking hard enough. We need to look harder. We mustn't give up.

(The machines agree. We then transition to Ace searching the valleys along with Packer.)

Ace: Come on! He's gotta be here somewhere.

Packer: I know, Ace. He could be anywhere!

(Just then, Bird and Flewie, along with their chicks flew towards them. Flewie toots sadly to Packer.)

Packer: Oh, yes, Flewie. I know I feel bad for Lofty. That's why we're conducting a search party to find him!

(Bird toots in response, followed by Flewie. They then fly away. We transition to Gripper and Grabber searching the mountains, trying to find Lofty, but to no avail. We fade to a brief montage of the other machines who are part of Group 2 searching the other parts of Sunflower Valley for Lofty.)

(We then transition to Travis and Spud in the forest looking for Lofty. However, they couldn't find him.)

Travis: Have you seen Lofty anywhere?

Spud: No. Have you?

Travis: Nope. There's no sign of him whatsoever.

Spud: You know, this could probably take several hours until we find him. Let's go back right away.

Travis: Agreed.

(Travis and Spud try to head back to the hotel building site, only for them to get lost because they travelled far into the forest.)

Travis: On second thought, it might take a while before we find our way back.

Spud: Oh, great! (groans and facepalms himself) Why did we agree to go into the forest?

(As Spud shakes his head, we fade to Bob, Wendy, Scoop, Muck, Dizzy, and Roley at the village.)

Roley: (sighs) It's no good, Bob. We'll never find him.

Bob: We need to split up. Scoop, Dizzy, you go to the park. Wendy and I will go to the store. And as for you, Roley and Muck, you go back to the hotel building site, just in case Lofty comes back.

Muck: You got it, Bob!

(They all head to their respective locations. Meanwhile, the Stranded Machines and Lofty are moving through the caves, hoping to find more secrets or maybe uncover more mysteries behind the caves.)

Lofty: Are you sure you know the way around those caves, Donny?

Donny: Of course I do. My friends and I used to work for Minnie before the cave-in from three years ago.

Lofty: Err, yeah. Point taken.

(The Stranded Machines and Lofty continue to explore the caves. Then, they see a trail of human footprints.)

Drilly: Wait. What's that? (gasps) Look! Footprints! Maybe they could lead us out of here.

Donny: Well, let's hope that's true.

(They follow the trail, hoping it would lead to an exit. Then, they stop at a fork in the road.)

Lofty: Err, which way do we go?

Razor: Beats me. Donny, which way should we go?

Donny: Well, the trail stops there and splits into two other trails. The left trail, on one hand, would take us farther and deeper into the caves. The right trail, on the other hand, would lead us out of the caves. I think the right trail is most likely the way out of here.

Drilly: Then let's head right, then!

Razor: Yeah! Let's take the right trail! Hopefully, that will lead us out!

Lofty: Err… yeah! That's fine!

(Lofty and the Stranded Machines take the right trail. Then, they stop at another fork in the road.)

Lofty: Aw, man! Another fork in the road? You've gotta be kidding me!

Drilly: Which way do we go now?

Donny: Left!

(Lofty and the Stranded Machines take the left trail. Then, they stop at yet another fork in the road.)

Lofty: Okay, what's with all the forks in the road? This is kind of confusing.

Donny: You know, just to be clear, many other cave systems in the world have a lot of forks in the road like those... and they also have trails of human footprints like these.

Lofty: So, what you're saying is... trails of human footprints and forks in the road are common in caves?

Donny: Well, yes. Yes, they are.

Lofty: Hmmm. Interesting.

Drilly: Okay, which way do we go this time?

Donny: I... (chuckles) I'm honestly not sure. These trails could lead anywhere!

Lofty: Oh, dear...

Donny: Well, I guess we'll have to take... the right trail. Come on, guys. Let's go!

(Lofty and the Stranded Machines take the right trail.)

(We fade to Gripper and Grabber still searching for Lofty at the mountains. The twins are still worried about him.)

Gripper: (groans) Let's just face it, Grabber! We'll never be able to find Lofty!

Grabber: Unless if he fell into the caves? (points to the caves)

Gripper: Erm… Yeah. That could be possible.

Grabber: Then let's go!

(Grabber tries to go into the caves, not realising that there's nothing beyond the roads that they're on.)

Gripper: Grabber, wait!

(But then, Grabber suddenly slips off the cliff. Thankfully, Gripper was able to prevent him from falling into the caves on time.)

Grabber: Whew! I thought I would be a goner for sure!

(Just then, however, the ground on the mountains start to rumble.)

Gripper: Umm... mate?

Grabber: What?

(Suddenly, they start to slide down. Just then, a pickup truck came to rescue them and take them back to a safe place with the help of Ace.)

Gripper: Whoa...

Ace: You think you two would be goners, huh?

Grabber: Thanks, Ace and Tread!

Tread: Just doing my job!

Gripper: So you're Tread?

Tread: Yes! I come from Bobsville!

Ace: Who are you two?

Gripper and Grabber: We're Gripper and Grabber! We're partners!

Tread: Partners, huh? I heard that you two came from the big city to help Bob and the team on building the stadium for the first annual Sunflower Valley Games!

Gripper: Yeah, but we decided that this place is much better than the big city!

Grabber: It's not as noisy as that other place!

(They laugh.)

Ace: I see. So, no luck finding Lofty yet, huh?

Gripper and Grabber: Nope!

Tread: (sighs) I wonder how the others are doing...

Part 9: Scrambler Finds Lofty/Out of the Caves
(Meanwhile, Scrambler, Benny, and Scratch are still searching for Lofty.)

Scratch: Lofty! Lofty! Lofty, where are you?

Benny: Here, Lofty! Here, Lofty!

Scrambler: Where did you go, Lofty?

Scratch: (sighs) It's hopeless. We'll never be able to find Lofty now.

Scrambler: The last time I saw him, he fell into the caves!

(Scratch and Benny gasp.)

Benny: The caves?

Scratch: I better check it out!

(However, Scrambler stopped Scratch from going to the caves by driving in front of him.)

Scrambler: Wait! Don't you want to become stranded, too?

(Benny and Scratch shake their heads in disagreement.)

Scrambler: Then we'll have to stick together!

(The three machines head to the spot where Scrambler last saw Lofty.)

Scrambler: This is where I last saw Lofty. The problem is... the entrance to the caves is... (gulps) blocked.

(Scratch and Benny gasp.)

Benny: Blocked?!

Scrambler: I'm afraid so! But I, err, "we" can't give up! We'll have to find some way to get inside the caves!

Scratch: Or we could just... Err... Yeah! There must be another way!

Benny: We'll find Lofty! Yes. We will!

(We pan to the caves and transition to Lofty and the Stranded Machines still searching for a way out of the caves.)

Lofty: Are we there yet?

Donny: We'll get there when we get there.

(But then, Lofty and the Stranded Machines see light at the end of the tunnel they're in.)

Donny: Hey. What do you suppose that is?

Drilly: I don't know. It's just some light at the end of the tunnel.

Lofty: That "is" the light at the end of the tunnel! We're going to be okay!

Donny: Well, let's go, then!

(Lofty and the Stranded Machines follow the light at the end of the tunnel, but as they get out of the tunnel, however, they realise that the light they saw is actually the light from a river of boiling lava. Lofty looks down at the lava river and gets scared.)

Lofty: Oh! Oh no! No... way!

Razor: What's wrong, Lofty?

Donny: Yeah, Lofty. Is there something wrong?

Lofty: Well, I hate to tell you this, but... I'm afraid of heights!

Donny: Wait a sec, I thought you overcame your fears when you rescued Spud!

Lofty: Actually, I'm afraid of being melted by lava even more than heights! (screams and heads back the other way)

Donny: Lofty, wait!

(The Stranded Machines follow Lofty.)

Drilly: Is there something wrong?

Lofty: Well, I... I'm not really afraid of heights. It's just... I'm afraid that I will be melted by lava and never see Bob again!

Donny: Well, I'm afraid we'll never find a way out, then... (cries)

(Lofty and the other two Stranded Machines began to cry, too. Just then, a voice can be heard echoing through the caves. Lofty appears to recognise that voice.)

Scrambler: Lofty? Is that you?

(Lofty stops crying and turns around, confused.)

Lofty: What was that?

Scrambler: It's me. You know... The machine who can take people throughout Sunflower Valley?

Lofty: Scrambler? Is... Is...

(The Stranded Machines stop crying and looked at Lofty as he heads back to the part of the caves with the river of boiling lava and sees a familiar machine.)

Lofty: Is that you?

Scrambler: Aw, yeah! Lofty, you're okay!

(Donny moves back to where Lofty is and sees Scrambler in the distance.)

Lofty: Uhh… Yes. Yes, I am.

Scrambler: Say, who's that machine with you?

Lofty: He's Donny, leader of the Stranded Machines.

Scrambler: Hang on a sec, I'll go get...

(Just then, the ground starts rumbling.)

Scrambler: Oh, no!

Donny: Scrambler, look out!

(Scrambler moves out of the way as a lava geyser appears on the ground.)

Scrambler: Whoa! Now that is seriously messing with my karma.

Lofty: We're gonna die!

(Lofty and the other two Stranded Machines began to panic in fear. Donny, however, thinks of a way to cross the lava river. Then, he sees a bridge that takes him, Lofty, and the other two Stranded Machines to the other side where Scrambler is at. That gave Donny an idea.)

Donny: Hey, guys!

(Lofty and the other two Stranded Machines stop panicking as they turn to Donny.)

Lofty, Drilly, and Razor: Huh?

Donny: Ahem. (looks at the bridge) There's a bridge over there.

(Lofty and the other two Stranded Machines look at the bridge.)

Razor: Then we better cross the bridge before it gets destroyed by the lava!

Lofty: Right behind you!

(So, Lofty and the Stranded Machines did just that.)

Scrambler: Hurry!

(The four machines managed to make it across the bridge, and just in time, too, as the bridge is beginning to collapse and fall into the lava river below.)

Scrambler: Quick! This way!

(Scrambler leads Lofty and the Stranded Machines to a safe location. As they're doing so, the zone that leads to above the river of lava becomes blocked.)

Lofty: Phew! That was close!

Scrambler: I know, right? Uh, Lofty?

Lofty: Yes?

Scrambler: Bob and the others have been looking for you. I think it's about time we get out of this place.

Lofty: Oh, yes. Let's go!

(Lofty and Scrambler begin to leave the caves, only for them to leave the Stranded Machines behind.)

Razor: Wait!

(Lofty and Scrambler turn around.)

Donny (off-screen): What about us?

Drilly: We know we want to get out, too!

(Scrambler looks at the Stranded Machines for 3 seconds, then decides that the Stranded Machines should come with them.)

Scrambler: Donny, Drilly, Razor, you're coming with us!

Donny: Aw, sweet!

(And so, Lofty, Scrambler, and the Stranded Machines finally get out of the caves alive.)

Donny: We're... we're out. We're out! We... are... out!

Stranded Machines: Hooray!

Donny: We did it! Haha! And it's all thanks to you, Lofty. You and Scrambler both.

Lofty: Oh, it was nothing. Really. I wanted to get out, too. (takes a breath of fresh air and sighs in relief) Oh, thank goodness.

Scrambler: Say, we'd better head back to Bob, right now! He's getting really worried about us!

Drilly: Maybe he'll have us washed off, too. I mean, being in the caves for so long can give you lots of dirty spots!

Lofty: Uhh… Yeah!

Razor: Agreed!

(They all nod to each other in agreement.)

Part 10: Lofty's Apology/Washed Off
(We fade to Roley and Muck at the hotel building site. They were waiting for Lofty to come back. Then, they see Bob, Wendy, Spud, and the other machines (except Lofty and Scrambler) come back.)

Muck: Oh! Hey, guys. Back so soon?

Bob: Yep. We've been searching all day, and yet, there's still no sign of Lofty.

Muck: Oh! Bummer!

(Just then, Roley sees Lofty and Scrambler in the distance, and moving along with them are the Stranded Machines.)

Roley: Hey, guys! I see something!

Bob: Really? Where?

Roley: Look! It's Scrambler coming back with Lofty... and... three more machines that I am not familiar with.

(The team becomes shocked, amazed, and relieved.)

Scoop: Lofty, you're okay!

(Scoop rushes over to Lofty, only to slow down when he sees the Stranded Machines.)

Donny: Whoa, there! Better watch where you're going!

Scoop: Sorry. I got a bit too excited.

Lofty: Err... It's alright.

Drilly: Who might you be?

Scoop: My name is Scoop!

Donny: Scoop, huh? Well, I'm so glad to see you, friend!

Scoop: Perhaps you three would like to meet Bob?

Razor: Of course we would!

Scrambler: Wicked!

Scoop: Then follow me!

(Lofty and the (no-longer) Stranded Machines follow Scoop. He then introduces Bob to Donny, Drilly, and Razor.)

Scoop: Guys, I would like you to meet Bob. Why, he's, like, the greatest builder in Bobsville and Sunflower Valley, if not the world.

Donny: Whoa...

(Bob sees Donny, Drilly, and Razor, and introduces himself.)

Bob: Hello, there. I see that you're finally out!

Drilly: Yep. We've wanted to get out for a long time, and now we're finally out of the caves! Woohoo!

Bob: I see. Well, now that you're out of the caves, it's time for you three to get cleaned up.

(Lofty drives over to Bob.)

Lofty: Hey! What about me?

Bob: Lofty? Is that you?

Lofty: Err... yes! It's me!

Bob: Lofty! Thank goodness you're okay! (hugs Lofty) I thought I'd lost you!

Lofty: And I thought I'd lost you too. (sniffles) It's so good to be here with you again!

Bob: It sure is, Lofty. It sure is.

Lofty: Hey, Bob?

Bob: Yes?

Lofty: I've been so foolish for what I did to the hotel yesterday, and... I'm sorry. Can you ever forgive me?

Bob: Of course I do. And I'm sorry for focusing too much on the instruction book and not focusing enough on you and the others. Will anyone of you ever forgive me?

Wendy: I forgive you. We all forgive you.

Lofty: I agree!

Bob: Thanks, guys! You're the best!

Scoop: No prob, Bob!

(There was silence for a few seconds before Roley responds.)

Roley: Now what?

(Bob turns to Donny, Drilly, and Razor.)

Bob: First, I'll have you three washed off and cleaned up. And I know just the place.

(We fade to the machine wash that Bob and his team built back in "Muck's Machine Wash", with Lofty, Donny, Drilly, and Razor examining it.)

Bob: Okay, guys. This is the eco-friendly machine wash my team and I built a few months ago. Why don't you go try it out?

Donny: Okay, Bob!

Lofty: Err… Bob, would I have to be washed off, too?

Bob: Hmmm? (examines Lofty) Hmmm. Well, since you've been in the caves for... uh... 20 hours or more, it's time I get you cleaned up, too.

Lofty: Ah, yes. Point taken. (silence for half a second) I think. Here I go.

(Lofty goes through the machine wash, excited to get cleaned off at last after being in the caves for a while. In the machine wash, Lofty goes through a waterfall. Then, he gets covered in soap. Then, he goes through another waterfall. The soap that Lofty is covered in gets washed off by the water from the waterfall along with the dirt that was hanging onto Lofty. Finally, Lofty comes out of the machine wash a nicer and cleaner crane machine.)

Bob: Perfect! (looks at Donny, Drilly, and Razor) Now, time to get you three washed off.

Donny: Finally! About time!

Razor: Ahem! (glares at Donny)

Donny: Oh, sorry.

(Donny goes through the machine wash next, then Drilly goes through it, and then Razor goes through it. At last, the three machines come out of the machine wash nicer and cleaner than ever.)

Donny: Now this is more like it!

Scoop: So, now all of you are cleaned off! (silence) Now what?

Bob: Now we have to finish building the hotel! So, can we finish it?

Machines: Yes, we can!

Lofty: Err, yeah. I think so.

Bob: Alright, team! Let's get back to work!

(Bob, Wendy, and all the machines head back to the construction site for the hotel to finish up on their project.)

Part 11: Finishing the Hotel
(Bob takes out the hotel building instruction book again and goes back to the same page that tells the reader how many floors there are in an average hotel.)

Bob: Now, where was I? Oh, yes. (reads the question) "How many floors are there in an average hotel?" (sighs) If only there's someone that can help me finally answer this question.

Scoop: Umm... Bob?

Bob: Yes, Scoop?

Scoop: How much time do we have left to finish up on the hotel?

Bob: We only have... 37 months, or 3 years, to build the hotel.

Scoop: Three years?!

Bob: Don't worry, Scoop. We've got the help we need. Oh, by the way, I've finally found out how many floors there are in an average hotel.

Scoop: Really? What's that?

(The conversation stops for 3 seconds before Bob breaks the silence.)

Bob: There is no "average" size for a hotel.

Scoop: What?! Why?

Bob: Well, it's because... hotels can range from a few floors in most small towns and cities to 20, or 30, or more than 30 floors in larger cities.

Scoop: Oh! I get it now!

Bob: Of course you do, Scoop! So, for the hotel we're building, it should be 50 stories high. So, we'll have to build... 50 floors for the hotel.

Scoop: 50 floors?!

Bob: Yes, Scoop. It'll be the tallest building we've ever built, and, as I said before, it'll take 3 years to build the hotel. But if we can all work harder than ever before, maybe it might take less time than how much we have left!

Scoop: Oh, umm... Okay!

Lofty: We can do it! (ponders) I think...

Bob: Okay, team! Action stations!

(Bob, Wendy, and the machines prepare to construct the framework for the hotel.)

Scoop: So, Bob, what shall we do with the steel beams?

Bob: Well, it's quite simple. We'll put them into the foundations and make the framework for the hotel out of them. The framework should look like this. (shows everyone the framework process animation on his tablet) We should start working on the underground part of the framework today. These supports hold up the rest of the building, and then after that, we'll be able to build on upwards.

Scoop: No prob, Bob!

Roley: We can do it!

(We fade to a montage of them building the underground part of the framework for the hotel, with Lofty first putting the steel beams down into the concrete, as so to make sure it's perfect. We then fade to the team examining the now-finished underground part of the framework for the hotel.)

Machines: Whoa!

Lofty: That... is... awesome!

Bob: Good work, team! Now we can build the rest of the framework. Now, Lofty, you'll help me and Wendy.

Lofty: Got it, Bob!

Bob: Scoop, Muck, you'll dig the trenches for the pipes to bring water to the hotel.

Scoop: Will do, Bob!

Muck: Yes, Bob! You got it!

Bob: So, team, can we build it?

Machines: Yes, we can!

Scratch: Uh, yeah. I think so.

Lofty: Hey! That's my line!

Scratch: Sorry.

(We fade to a montage of Bob, Wendy, and the machines finishing the rest of the framework for the hotel, with all of the other machines, which Bob has enlisted to help work alongside his machines, helping out by constructing the framework bit-by-bit, and Bob and Wendy got to work on the framework, too. among their jobs, Scoop and Muck dug the trenches for the pipes to bring water to the hotel. Eventually, the framework is now finished.)

Machines: Whoa!

Lofty: Now that's huge!

Bob: Good work, team! So, what shall we do now?

Wendy: Now we'll have to add some finishing touches to the hotel.

Bob: Really? Like what?

Wendy: Let's start with the flooring, first.

Bob: Good idea, Wendy!

(Bob and Wendy proceed to work on the flooring for the hotel, with the machines helping. Eventually, the flooring was done.)

Bob: Okay, the flooring is done. Now to add some walls, windows, and ceilings.

(So Bob, Wendy, and the Machines did just that. They got recyclable windows, walls, and ceilings to put on the hotel. They eventually got all the walls, windows, and ceilings built onto the hotel. We fade to Bob checking his checklist of the hotel building procedures.)

Bob: Framework, check. Flooring, check. Walls, check. Windows, check. And ceilings, check. Okay, then. Now to add everything else to the hotel.

Lofty: Umm... Bob?

Bob: Yes, Lofty?

Lofty: Which will you add first?

Bob: Well, we already added the drywall to the hotel, so... let's just use plaster to cover it up and paint to... well, paint the walls.

Dizzy: Brillant!

Roley: Great!

(We fade to a montage of Bob and Wendy plastering the drywall to the hotel, and then painting the walls of the hotel, with the help of the machines. They were soon finished with the plastering and painting.)

Lofty: Okay, what's next?

Bob: Now we'll add in the furniture, the plumbing, the kitchen appliances, the electronics, and other amenities and necessities.

(Bob takes out the green hotel instruction book and goes to the page about recycling old beds and mattresses.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 1: Recycle your old beds and mattresses. It will cut your costs down, create a competitive advantage, interest your guests, and save the environment. It takes over 20 years for a mattress to decompose! Make sure that the company that recycles beds and mattresses actually does it and is not just sending parts of it to landfill. Tip: Wow! Contract is an industry leader who recycles and replaces old beds and mattresses with 100 % being recycled." (closes the book) Okay, team! Let's add in some recyclable beds and mattresses.

(Bob, Wendy, and the machines proceeded to get all the recyclable beds and mattresses for the hotel and put them where they need to be. We fade to Bob checking his checklist of the green hotel necessities.)

Bob: Recycle your old beds and mattresses, check. Okay, what's next?

(Bob takes out the green hotel instruction book and goes to the page about starting a linen reuse programme in all guest rooms.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 2: Start a linen reuse programme in all guest rooms. This is now commonplace in many hotels and is a cost-saving, water-saving, and time-saving measure that works well. Many customers avail themselves of the opportunity to hang up their towel instead of tossing it in the bath immediately for changing. Place signs in your guest rooms indicating that this programme is operational; either make your own or have them printed locally. There are also online sites that will sell ready-made signs." (closes the book) Okay, team! Let's start a linen reuse programme in all guest rooms.

(So Bob and Wendy did just that, making signs indicating that the linen reuse programme is operational and making sure to put them in all guest rooms. We fade to Bob checking his checklist of the green hotel necessities.)

Bob: Start a linen reuse programme in all guest rooms, check. Okay, what's next?

(Bob takes out the green hotel instruction book and goes to the three pages of saving water and energy.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 3: Save water. There are several ways to reduce water usage in each guest room. Some include installing low-flow showerheads and sink aerators and switching to low-flow toilets or install toilet-tank fill diverters. Step 4: Save energy. Reducing energy usage reduces your fuel bills, so it makes common sense. Here are some ways you can achieve this. 1, switch to LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting to reduce electricity use. LED's have the lowest carbon footprint, last 5-20 times longer, and are safe (compact fluorescent light bulbs all contain mercury, a hazardous heavy metal) in guestrooms, lobbies, and hallways. Use sensors and/or timers for areas that are infrequently used. 2, educate your staff to turn off lights and turn down heating/air conditioning when rooms are unoccupied. Also, during summer months, to close the drapes. 3, use daylight exclusively in your lobby, bar, and restaurant for as much of the day as possible. Consider installing skylights if needed. 4, install window film to lower heating and cooling loads and reduce glare in guestrooms. 5, replace exit signs with Light Emitting Diode (LED) exit signs. 6, purchase "Energy Star" appliances wherever possible. In the USA, see the Energy Star for Hospitality site. It provides detailed information about energy-saving appliances and monitoring systems. 7, replace old washing machines with both water and energy conserving models. 8, if the hotel has a pool and/or hot tub, install a solar water heating system and use pool and hot tub covers when the pool area is closed. 9, use an energy management system (EMS) to tie in air handling units, HVAC, and lighting to prevent conditioning space when it is not necessary. Replace electric package terminal air conditioner (PTAC) units with more efficient heat pumps or other geothermal technologies. Consult outside sources to evaluate the total system when replacing major mechanical equipment (such as chiller, water tower, etc). Often, this can lead to downsizing and other opportunities to reduce both the initial investment and operating costs. And 10, use proper insulation and reflective roof coverings. Step 5: Monitor, record, and post rates of energy and water use. Make repairs or replace equipment when rate changes indicate problems. Include filter changes, coil cleaning, thermostat calibration, and damper adjustments in your ongoing maintenance plan." (closes the book) We all know how to do that, right?

Wendy and the Machines: Yes.

Bob: Okay, then. Let's do it!

(We fade to a montage of Bob, Wendy, and the machines installing low-flow showerheads and low-flow toilets to save on water. They then proceeded to install LED lights in every room that Bob and Wendy have decided to place. When that's done, they first installed window film in guest rooms, then installed LED exit signs to replace the normal ones, and replaced the old washing machines with water and energy conserving models. Finally, they constructed some reflective roof coverings to put on the hotel and installed an energy management system to the hotel. We fade to Bob checking his checklist of the green hotel necessities.)

Bob: Save water, save energy, and... monitor, record, and post rates of energy and water use... Check, check, check! Ooh, I think we're making good progress! What's next?

(Bob takes out the green hotel instruction book and goes to the page about buying in bulk.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 6: Buy in bulk. Whenever possible, buy food and guest amenities in bulk (i.e., use refillable hair and skin care dispensers). This saves extra journeys and packaging." (closes the book) Okay, team! Let's go buy some stuff in bulk.

(The team heads off to buy food and guest amenities in bulk. We fade to Bob getting some of those amenities from Two-Tonne, followed by Farmer Pickles getting the rest of the amenities from Packer, with Travis, Spud, and Scruffty watching. We fade to Bob checking his checklist of the green hotel necessities.)

Bob: Buy in bulk, check. Okay, what's next?

(Bob takes out the green hotel instruction book and goes to the page about recycling in general.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 7: Recycle." (turns to the team) I think we all know this one. (continues reading) "Recycle your hotel's waste in the kitchen, guest rooms, dining room, etc. There are several ways in which you can encourage guests and staff to recycle. 1, provide guestroom recycling baskets for newspaper, white paper, glass, aluminium, cardboard, and plastic. 2, provide recycling bins both in public areas (i.e., poolside), in the kitchen, and in the back office (including one at each desk) to make recycling as easy as possible. 3, buy office and guest amenity products that contain recycled material. And 4, use recycled paper products (with high post-consumer recycled content) that are either unbleached or bleached using a chlorine-free process. Minimise the amount of paper used for each guest (i.e., reduce paper size of invoices, etc.). Print with soy-based inks." (closes the book) Okay, team! You know what to do. Reduce...

Everyone (Bob, Wendy, and the Machines): ...reuse, recycle!

(Bob, Wendy, and the machines all proceeded to make guestroom recycling baskets and place them in guest rooms, then placed recycling bins in the public areas, in the kitchen, and especially in the back office (including one at each desk) of the hotel. They later put the office and guest amenity products with recycled material in their respective places. Finally, they got recycled paper products and placed them where they think should go. We fade to Bob checking his checklist of the green hotel necessities.)

Bob: Recycle, check. Okay, what's next?

(Bob takes out the green hotel instruction book and goes to the page about buying organic, fair trade, cruelty-free guest amenity products.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 8: Buy organic, fair trade, cruelty-free guest amenity products whenever possible. Make it clear that you are supporting such products and try to obtain these products across a diverse range of products, such as bedding and guest robes, hair and body care, coffee, tea, and chocolate, etc." (turns to the team) Did we already buy those products, especially in bulk?

Wendy: Yes, Bob. We just did.

Bob: Okay, then. Moving on.

(Bob turns the page to the next one. This time, it's a page about cleaning green.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 9: Clean green. Use non-toxic or least-toxic cleaners, sanitisers, paints, pesticides, etc. throughout the hotel. Make sure all chemicals are stored safely in a well-ventilated area." (closes the book) Okay, team! Let's clean green!

(Bob and Wendy got non-toxic cleaners, sanitisers, paints, pesticides, and other non-toxic and least-toxic cleaners and made sure the hotel is nice and clean before storing them safely in a well-ventilated area. We fade to Bob checking his checklist of the green hotel necessities.)

Bob: Buy organic, fair trade, cruelty-free guest amenity products whenever possible, check. Clean green, check. Okay, what's next?

(Bob takes out the green hotel instruction book and goes to the page about green transportation.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 10: Get the guests motivated to use green transportation options. Provide your guests with bicycles, walking maps, and information on public transportation." (closes the book) Okay, team! You know what to do.

(Bob, Wendy, and the machines get to work as the machines bring in bicycles to put by the hotel. Meanwhile, Bob and Wendy created walking maps for guests to see where they are in Sunflower Valley, then provided information on public transportation at the back office, and placed them where they need to be. Bob takes out the checklist of the green hotel necessities and checks it.)

Bob: Get the guests motivated to use green transportation options, check. Okay, what's next?

(Bob takes out the green hotel instruction book and goes to the page about disposable and nondisposable products.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 11: Avoid disposable products or throwing away useful items. Disposable products fill up landfills and create garbage on your property. There are suitable alternatives. 1, provide reusable items such as cloth napkins, glass cups, ceramic dishes, etc. with all food and beverage services. 2, provide glass cups and ceramic mugs (instead of plastic) for in-room beverages. Place cups and mugs upside down on paper doilies (instead of covering the opening with a plastic wrapping). 3, donate leftover food to a local nonprofit organisation and/or use a compost bin. And 4, donate leftover guest amenities, old furniture, and appliances to charities." (closes the book) Okay, team! You know what to do. Reduce...

Everyone (Bob, Wendy, and the Machines): ...reuse, recycle!

(Bob, Wendy, and the machines gather up reusable items for the hotel like cloth napkins, glass cups, and ceramic dishes, along with glass cups and ceramic mugs, for all usage of in-door beverages. They also got paper doilies for those cups and mugs, too. They also got a compost bin and put it in the kitchen just in case there's food waste. We fade to Bob checking his checklist of the green hotel necessities.)

Bob: Avoid disposable products or throwing away useful items, check. Okay, what's next?

(Bob takes out the green hotel instruction book and goes to the page about green dining.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 12: Try green dining. If your hotel has a restaurant, consider transitioning it into a certified green restaurant. Buy organic, locally-grown food and/or plant an organic garden to provide fresh produce for your guests." (closes the book) Okay, team! We have to provide green dining for the hotel, and as the hotel opens, we should encourage the guests to eat healthy.

Scoop: But how can we encourage the guests to stay healthy?

Roley: And what about the green dining?

Scratch: Well, we do have to buy organic food and grow an organic garden to provide fresh produce for the guests.

Roley: Oh, right. (turns to Bob) How can we encourage them to eat healthy?

Bob: Rather than telling them what not to eat, we can suggest a healthy substitute and explain why it’s good for them. Simple switches might include Greek yoghurt in place of ice cream, baked zucchini fries instead of French fries, or baked kale chips instead of potato chips. With the right substitutions, the guests will discover eating healthy can taste delicious.

Lofty: Ohhhh… I get it!

(We fade to Bob and Wendy making the kitchen room into a certified green restaurant, and then planting an organic garden so that it can provide fresh produce. We fade to Bob checking his checklist of the green hotel necessities.)

Bob: Try green dining, check. Okay, what's next?

(Bob takes out the green hotel instruction book and goes to the page about gardening.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 13: Garden with consideration for protecting the ecosystem and water-saving. Switch to drought-resistant native plants in garden areas. Replace mowed landscaping with native ground cover." (closes the book) Okay, team! Let's do some gardening!

(So Bob and Wendy proceeded to do some gardening with help from the machines. Eventually, the garden was finished and ready. We fade to Bob checking his checklist of the green hotel necessities.)

Bob: Garden with consideration for protecting the ecosystem and water-saving, check. I wonder what the last two pages are from the book.

(Bob takes out the green hotel instruction book and goes to the last two pages.)

Bob: (reading) "Step 14: Create an incentive programme to encourage your staff. The programme should be tailored to encourage participation in and improving upon environmentally-friendly practices. And Step 15: Provide discounts to eco-oriented groups. Offer discounted rates to sustainable living/environmental organisations who would like to stay at and/or hold meetings at your hotel. You have reached the end of this book. Thanks for reading! Enjoy your green hotel!" (closes the book) Okay, team! You know what to do.

Scoop: Can we finish it?

Everyone (Bob, Wendy, and the Machines): Yes, we can!

Scratch: Can't wait to finish it!

Lofty: Umm... yeah. Me too. I think...

(The team prepares to finally finish their work on their biggest building job yet. They create an incentive programme to encourage the hotel's staff and provided discounted rates at the hotel for any living/environmental organisation that would like to stay at and/or hold meetings at the hotel. At last, the eco-friendly hotel is completed. Everyone cheered for its completion.)

Bob: Hooray! We did it!

(Bob takes out the checklist of the green hotel necessities and checks it.)

Bob: Create an incentive programme to encourage your staff, check. And provide discounts to eco-oriented groups, check. (puts away the checklist) The new eco-friendly hotel at Sunflower Valley is finally finished! And now, it's time for the grand opening!

(Everyone cheers.)

Part 12: Grand Opening/The Tour
(We fade to the blue sky where Bird and Flewie teach their chicks how to fly. We pan down from the sky to the top of the new hotel, to the "Grand Opening" banner hanging on the hotel, and all the way down to the bottom of the hotel where the grand opening takes place. Everyone in Sunflower Valley and outside Sunflower Valley is invited to participate in the grand opening, including Bob, Wendy, the machines, Spud, Farmer Pickles, and the hotel architect. Mr. Bentley enters the stage and talks to the microphone.)

Mr. Bentley: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to welcome you to the grand opening of the new Sunflower Hotel.

(The crowds applaud.)

Mr. Bentley: Yes, thank you. You're too kind.

(The applause dies down and the crowds watch with excitement as Mr. Bentley proceeds with his announcement.)

Mr. Bentley: Now, before we begin with the ribbon-cutting, I'd like to announce the name of our new manager.

(We cut to a fork-lifter named Trix, who is among the crowds along with Packer, curious as to who it would be.)

Trix: I wonder who's gonna be the new manager.

Packer: Beats me.

Mr. Bentley: The new manager is a loyal, hard-working, nature-loving hotel architect.

Bob: (in thoughts) Yes.

Mr. Bentley: The obvious choice for the job.

Bob: (in thoughts) He's right.

Mr. Bentley: A name you all know. It starts with a C.

(The crowds wonder on who exactly is the person whose name starts with the letter C.)

Bob: (in thoughts) I wonder who exactly that person is... whose name starts with the letter C.

Mr. Bentley: Please welcome our new manager... Carl Juniper!

(The crowds applaud as Carl Juniper, the hotel architect and the new manager of Sunflower Hotel, steps onto the stage.)

Bob: (in thoughts) Wow! I never thought he will get to stay in Sunflower Valley with us! This is awesome!

(Carl starts talking to the microphone.)

Carl: People of Sunflower Valley, as the new manager of Sunflower Hotel, I declare this beautiful, wonderful, glorious eco-friendly hotel... open!

(The crowds applaud again. Carl pulls out some scissors and cuts the ribbon. Then he puts them away.)

Scoop: Wow! That hotel looks amazing!

Roley: It sure does!

Carl: Now, allow me to take you on a tour.

(We fade to the tour of Sunflower Hotel with Carl as the tour guide.)

Carl: Thanks to not just the concerns with the environment, but the generosity of the entire town as well, this hotel is 100 % eco-friendly unlike any other hotel in the world. Remember to stop by the eco-friendly water park and swimming pool whenever you need to refresh and cool off on a hot summer day. There's also an eco-friendly playground for children, and it's entirely nature-themed, hence the hotel's purpose of being as eco-friendly as possible. Tired guests can rejuvenate and refresh at our eco-friendly spa. We offer everything from soothing shiatsu massages to cleansing facials. Need to lose weight or gain some muscles? Visit the jungle-based eco-friendly gym. It's like an ordinary jungle gym you usually see at a typical children's playground, but like I said, it's an actual gym. It's very eco-friendly and jungle-based. And after a healthy workout session at the gym, come visit our beauty salon to take care of hairstyles and pamper your hands and feet. We feature a variety of activities for every guest, including but not limited to swimming, diving, snorkeling, hiking, biking, mountain climbing, hang gliding, skiing, fishing, and gardening. For those who are 18 years of age or older, we are proud to present quality entertainment in the exclusive Sunflower Lounge.

Bob: Umm, excuse me? (Carl looks at Bob) What's in the Sunflower Lounge?

Carl: Something that kids shouldn't see or do. That's why it's for adults only. Luckily though, there's a daycare centre for children to stay in while the adults are busy lounging in the lounge.

Bob: Oh, umm... right.

Carl: Okay, moving on.

(The tour resumes.)

Carl: And last, but not least, Sunflower Cafe. This eco-friendly restaurant only serves green and healthy foods. And that's pretty much it for the tour. Thanks for participating. Enjoy your stay here at Sunflower Hotel!

(After the tour was over, Bob walks over to Wendy.)

Bob: Um, Wendy?

Wendy: Yes?

Bob: Before we leave, there's something that I've been trying to tell you in a long time. Uh... Wendy?

Wendy: Yes?

Bob: (kneels and shows Wendy the engagement ring) Will you marry me?

Wendy: (gasps in amazement) Yes! Yes, I will! (takes the engagement ring and puts it on her ring finger) Oh! It's beautiful! Thank you! (kisses Bob on the cheek)

Bob: (blushes) Aw, shucks!

Scoop: Aww... Bob's actually marrying Wendy!

Roley: Isn't this special or what?

Part 13: The Marriage/Meet Brenda
(We fade to the church at Sunflower Valley 3 days later. We cut to the inside where Bob is waiting for his fiancée Wendy to show up. The people in Sunflower Valley and Bobsville, including Bob's parents, are invited to the wedding. Mrs. Potts is shown playing the organ. Wendy shows up in her wedding dress and walks down the aisle. She then meets up with Bob at the end of the aisle with a wedding officiant. The wedding ceremony begins.)

Wedding Officiant: People of Sunflower Valley and Bobsville, we have gathered here today to join these two hearts in the bonds of love. Bob the Builder, do you take Wendy as your lawfully wedded wife?

Bob: I do.

Wedding Officiant: And Wendy, do you take Bob the Builder as your lawfully wedded husband?

Wendy: I do!

Wedding Officiant: And so, by the power vested in me by the eco-friendly town of Sunflower Valley, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.

(The wedding officiant steps back as Bob and Wendy kissed each other. The residents of both Sunflower Valley and Bobsville applaud and cheer for them. Bob and Wendy hold hands and smile at each other, as the machines watch with glee.)

Scoop: (sniffs) That... was... beautiful!

Roley: I know! Tell me about it.

Scoop: (chuckles) I was hoping this would be a happy ending.

Roley: Yeah, me too.

Dizzy: Me three.

Muck: Me four.

Scratch: Me five.

Scrambler: Me six.

Lofty: Me seven... I guess.

Benny: Hey, what about me?

Scratch: You... eight.

Benny: Oh, good.

Donny: Me nine.

Drilly: Me ten.

Razor: Me eleven.

(We fade to Bob and Wendy at Bobsville after the wedding was over. They are visiting Bob's parents just to check up on them and to see how things are. Bob rings the doorbell. The door opens, revealing Bob's dad, Robert, opening it. Bob's mom, Dorothy, is with him.)

Bob: Hey, dad.

Robert: Bobby! Hello, son.

Dorothy: Thanks for stopping by. How's your new life now that you and Wendy are married together?

Bob: It was great! It couldn't have been better. How is your and dad's day today?

Dorothy: It was fine... as usual. Your father had made some adjustments to your old home at Bobsville while you and Wendy were building your town at Sunflower Valley.

Robert: Yep! Plus, I even replaced your old small bed with a new king-sized bed for both me and your mother. It sure was too small sleeping at your old bed.

Bob: Yeah, it sure was. Anyway, Wendy and I are about to leave for our honeymoon in Florida. I've heard that there's plenty of sunshine there, along with a lifetime supply of oranges and orange juice. Not to mention it also has a lot of theme parks and beaches.

Dorothy: Florida? That's lovely to hear!

Bob: Oh, it is lovely indeed. Dad, while I'm gone, would you like to be in charge of any of my future building projects?

Robert: Sure! I'd love to! Plus, I'll hire a younger assistant to help me with that.

Bob: Oh, good. Well, we gotta go now! See you in a month!

(Bob whistles for a limousine. The limo he called for has arrived. Bob's parents wave goodbye to Bob and Wendy as they get inside the limo.)

Robert: Goodbye, Bob! Goodbye, Wendy! Have a nice trip!

Dorothy: Good luck, Bob and Wendy, and bon voyage!

(The limo drives away as Bob and Wendy go on their honeymoon in Florida.)

Robert: (sighs) Our son has grown up so fast.

Dorothy: Indeed, he has.

(We fade to Bob and Wendy at their merged home in Bobland Bay six years later. The married couple had a 5-year-old daughter named Brenda. The three are walking to the town of Sunflower Valley, which has since then expanded and evolved into a big eco-friendly city. They then stop to see the machines in their shed.)

Bob: Hello, team.

Machines: Bob! Wendy! Hello!

Scoop: We haven't seen you in six whole years. (sees Brenda) Ooh! Who's that little girl that is with you?

Bob: Guys, meet Brenda, our cute 5-year-old daughter.

Machines: Awww!

Scoop: Hey there, little fella. I'm Scoop! Oh boy! We're gonna have so much fun together!

Lofty: She's got the same beauty as Wendy's... and the same hair colour as Bob's... I think.

Wendy: Of course she does! She's related to us!

(We cut to Roley, who is curious about the project.)

Roley: Umm, Bob?

Bob: Yes, Roley?

Roley: Did we ever finish up the Sunflower Valley project?

(Bob, Wendy, Brenda, and the machines look at the city of Sunflower Valley.)

Bob: Yes, yes we did.

(We zoom out to the aerial view of Sunflower Valley and pan up to the blue sky. We then fade to black afterwards.)

(The closing credits appear on screen as the dance party sequence, which takes place at Farmer Pickles's field near Bobsville at night, features an extended version of "Can We Fix It?", and has the digital projector showcasing clips of the original series, "Project: Build It!", and "Ready, Steady, Build!" on the outdoor projection screen, plays.)

Scoop: Yea! Bring it!

Benny: Unreal, banana peel!

Dizzy: I'm whizzin' and dizzin'!

Scrambler: Wicked!

Roley: Oh, yeah!

(Song continues to play.)

Scratch: Of course!

(Song continues to play.)

(Bird and Flewie, along with their now all-grown-up chicks, fly around in the background, while Scruffty is dancing to the music.)

Muck: Muck to the rescue!

Wendy: Oh, it's lovely!

Roley: Rock and roll!

(The song continues to play until it ends.)

Bob: Okay, everyone. We better head back to our homes! It's getting late here.

(Everyone involved in the dance party (except for Roley and Lofty) leaves the dance floor, leaving the two machines still standing.)

Lofty: Err... Aren't you gonna head out, too?

Roley: Not exactly. I still gotta speak with "those" people.

Lofty: "Those" people?

(We cut to Roley, who looks at the audience.)

Roley: Hey, you! Everybody! You're still here?! Wasn't it time you head back home, too? Well, what are you gonna do? Wait 'til the credits are over, hoping there would be a post-credits scene? Or are you just gonna leave?

(We then cut back to Roley and Lofty, still standing on the dance floor. Lofty is shocked at what Roley just said.)

Lofty: Err… What did you say?

Roley: Oh, nothing. It was nothing.

(Roley then leaves the dance floor to return home to Bob, prompting Lofty to chuckle as the camera zooms over to him.)

Lofty: (chuckles) Silly old Roley. He just can't help but break the fourth wall sometimes.

(Lofty chuckles some more before using his claw to pull up a brick wall from out of nowhere, surging into the closing credits scroll in the process. It then starts playing afterwards, before reaching the end, and we then fade to a post-credits scene where Travis and Spud are still trying to find a way home after the dance party. Alas, they end up becoming lost again.)

Spud: Ohhh, not again!

Travis: Oh, no... (angry) And I thought you knew the way back to Sunflower Valley after that dance party we had!

Spud: What? The directions looked all confusing to me!

Scratch (off-screen): Travis, Spud!

(Travis and Spud look at Scratch, as he moves towards them.)

Scratch: Are you alright?

Spud: Actually, we would like to know the way back to Sunflower Valley, where Farmer Pickles is.

Scratch: Well, don't worry! It should be...

(Scratch moves to a tree that overlooks Sunflower Valley.)

Scratch: (points his front bucket towards Sunflower Valley) That way.

Travis: Scratch, are you sure that's the way back?

Scratch: It's a guess. But it should lead back to...

(Just then, Scratch bumps into a tree knocking over a beehive.)

Scratch: Oops.

(Scratch, Spud, and Travis are all horrified as a swarm of bees starts to move towards Spud.)

Spud: Oh, no... Not the bees! (gets out of Travis' truck) Not the bees! (screams)

(Spud starts running away from the bees, as Scratch moves by Travis and stops beside him, still horrified.)

(Just then, however, Scratch starts to laugh at Spud.)

Travis: Scratch, what are you doing? Spud is, is...

(Spud then runs in front of Travis and Scratch, still being chased by bees.)

Spud: Get it off! Get them off me!

(As Spud starts to run away from them, Travis chuckles a bit before finally starting to laugh in his signature "ho ho ho" way along with Scratch.)

(Spud runs in front of them again, then runs away from them again, while still being chased by bees.)

Spud: Make them go away! Stop it! Stop it! (screams)

(Travis and Scratch continue to laugh at each other and at Spud.)

(The iris shrinks to fit Travis in the iris, still doing his signature "ho ho ho" laugh. Travis then winks at us.)

(Iris out, and the film ends with the closing variant of the Columbia Pictures logo.)
