This is the transcript of Secret Mission.

Pablo/Tyrone/Uniqua: [All Together reading The Episode's Title] "Secret Mission."

[Tango music plays in the background as Pablo secretly appears behind his door]

Pablo: "Hi, I'm Pablo, and I'm... a secret agent. Secret agents go on secret missions, and we have background music, sneaky background music: "Do-do-doooooooo". Danger background music: "Dunh dunh dunnhhh!" And if we goof up..." [Trips on a rock and falls over] "Wah-wah-waaaaah." [Gets back up on his feet] No matter what happens, a secret agent always stays cool. I'm cool."

Tyrone: "Do-do-doooo."

Pablo: "Don't look, but, I think a member of my secret agent team is trying to make contact."

Tyrone: [Laughs]

Pablo: "I think it's Agent Tyrone."

Tyrone: "All clear, Agent Pablo?"

Pablo: "All clear, Agent Tyrone."

Pablo: "Very sneaky, Agent Tyrone."

Tyrone: "Thank you, Agent Pablo. But where's the third member of our Team?"

Pablo: "You mean Agent Uniqua?"

Uniqua: "Do-do-dooooo." [Both Pablo and Tyrone turn around as Uniqua disappears behind a tree]

Pablo: "Don't look, but, I think the third member of our team is trying to make contact. Stay cool."

Tyrone: "I'm cool!"

Pablo: "Me too."

Uniqua: "All clear, agents?"

Tyrone: "All clear!"

Pablo/Tyrone/Uniqua: All together, they start singing "Secret Agent"

Tyrone: "What's our secret mission, Agent Pablo?"

Pablo: "Our secret mission is... [Quietly] To sneak into the Treasure Museum."

Tyrone/Uniqua: "The Treasure Museum?"

Pablo: "To return this... [Opens a box revealing a mystery bone] to its secret owner."

Uniqua: "What's that?"

Tyrone: "I've never seen anything like it."

Pablo: "Nobody has. It's a mystery bone."

Uniqua: "Who's the secret owner?"

Pablo: "I don't know. It's a secret. But he's Somewhere in the Treasure Museum, with all the precious treasures."

Tyrone: "But the Treasure Museum has all sorts of alarms and booby traps. Could be dangerous."

Uniqua: "But secret agents can always find a way to sneak in."

[They continue singing "Secret Agent"]

Pablo: "Okay, secret agents, our mission will begin outside of the Treasure Museum. Meet at the stroke of midnight, next to the front door at the top of the big steps."

[The Backyard then transitions to the Treasure Museum at night. By then, Pablo, Tyrone, and Uniqua all sneak towards the front door with their secret agent outfits on.]

Pablo: "Okay, agents, equipment check. Spy gadget. This will help us find our way through the museum. And it's got attachments."

Uniqua: "Wow, a spy gadget."

Tyrone: "That'll come in handy."

Uniqua: "And look at this. It'll get us out of some tight situations." [Uses the spy power rope on a giant pillar]

Pablo: "Wow! A spy power rope."

Tyrone: "That'll come in handy, too. Now, check this out." [He then brings out some maple syrup] "Spy maple syrup."

Pablo/Uniqua: [In confusion] "Maple syrup?"

Uniqua: "What's that for?"

Tyrone: "In case we need something sticky. Doo doo doo. I think it'll come in handy."

Uniqua: "If you say so. Come on, let's get going."

Pablo: "(to Uniqua; alarmed) Wait, Uniqua! If we just walk in, we might set off an alarm, or a booby trap!"

Tyrone: "Then we'd get caught. Dun dun da!"

Pablo: "And secret agents never get caught."

Uniqua: "You're right. Besides, secret agents never just walk in..., we sneak in!"

All three of them: "Doo doo doo!"

Pablo: "So what we need is... [Uses his spy gadget to activate a trap door beside them] A secret entrance."

Uniqua: "Sneaky."

Tyrone: "Extremely sneaky. But how do we get down there?"

Uniqua: "No problem. Spy power rope! Grab on, agents. We're going down."

Tyrone: this spy rope certainly is coming in handy.

Pablo: shh!

All:

sneaking, hiding, *

Pablo:

Uniqua:

All:

Tyrone:

All:

no sound. *

Tyrone:

All:

we're not freaking. *

Pablo:

All:

Tyrone: okay. Now, which way?

Let's see.

There's a shortcut

Through the hall of precious jewels.

Uniqua: the hall of precious jewels!

Right through here.

Wait!

Don't turn that knob!

You might set off an alarm

Or a booby trap.

Dunh dunh dunnnhhhh!

It's okay, there's no alarm.

How do you know?

I already turned the knob.

C'mon.

Tyrone: it sure is dark.

Pablo: then let's turn the lights on!

Wow!

Uniqua: diamonds!

Tyrone: and rubies, and emeralds and pearls and-

Pablo: look at all these precious jewels.

Let's sneak this way.

a shortcut *

Tyrone: this certainly is a long shortcut.

All:

creaking. *

Uniqua:

unknown. *

All:

Tyrone:

of the mystery bone. *

All:

Uniqua: hey, look at that!

That must be the biggest diamond

In the history of the world!

Tyrone: it's bigger than big, it's gigantic.

Pablo: it's bigger than gigantic,

It's enormous!

It's bigger than enormous,

It's humongous!

(Gasp)

Tyrone: watch out!

Pablo: catch it!

Tyrone: I've got it!

All: whew!

Uniqua: oh no!

All: booby trap!

Tyrone: wah-wah-wah. We goofed up.

Uh-oh! Uh-oh! We're trapped.

Secret agents should never get trapped.

Don't panic. Stay calm!

Everything's going to be fine.

Pablo!

Yeah?

We have to be cool and think.

Secret agents can always figure a way out.

Let's see.

We could try the spy maple syrup.

All: nah.

Uniqua: maybe if we just put the diamond back.

Pablo: it will raise the cage!

Uniqua: exactly!

Tyrone: okay, here goes.

(Grunting)

I can't reach it.

It's too high.

Uniqua: how are we ever gonna get that diamond back up there?

Pablo: I know, spy gadget.

I'll use the claw attachments!

Uniqua: excellent diamond replacing, agent pablo.

Tyrone: that spy gadget is certainly coming in handy.

Pablo: I don't know what we'd do without it.

Okay agents, let's move.

We gotta find a way outta here.

You guys, this way.

Pablo: according to the spy gadget,

We need to go to the hall of egyptian treasures.

Uniqua: okay then, let's move!

No, not that way, agent uniqua!

Uniqua: whoa!

Another booby trap?!

This place is full of them.

All: dunh dunh dunnhhhh!

Good thing we have the spy gadget.

So how do we get out of here?

This way.

Sneaky.

Very sneaky.

Pablo: the hall of egyptian treasures.

(Creaks then bangs shut)

Uniqua: where's the door?

Tyrone: we're never gonna find our way outta here.

Pablo: this way agents and careful!

Watch out for booby traps.

Tyrone: what is all this stuff?

Pablo: egyptian treasures, of course.

of ancient egypt *

in the distant past. *

Uniqua:

protected *

All:

of ancient egypt *

of ancient egypt *

Tyrone:

Pablo:

not dummies. *

from long ago. *

with a golden face. *

with nowhere to go. *

All:

of ancient egypt. *

of ancient egypt. *

Uniqua: so, do you think the secret owner of the mystery bone

Is hiding in here?

Tyrone: maybe the secret owner is a mummy!

All: do-do-dooooo!

Pablo: well, according to the spy gadget he's not in here.

It says he's in the gargantuan gallery.

The gargantuan gallery?

Where's that?

Pablo: this way, but it says watch out for laser beams.

Dunh dunh dunnhhhh!

I can't see any laser beams.

As a matter of fact...

I can't see any way out of here at all.

Uniqua: secret agents can always find a way out.

Pablo: look, up there.

But how are we gonna get up there?

Spy maple syrup?

All: hm. Nah.

I know. Spy power rope!

Come on, agents! Let's climb!

Whew!

That was quite a climb.

It certainly was a long way up.

But where are we?

(Alarm beeps)

Uh-oh.

We're trapped!

Again!

All: wah-wah-wah.

How are we going to get out of this one?

Oh! Well, that was easy.

Too easy.

Well agents, let's move.

Pablo: agent tyrone, no!

Wait! There might be-

Uniqua and pablo: laser beams!

Tyrone: yup. There definitely are laser beams.

Pablo: if you touch one of the laser beams,

You'll set off an alarm.

And then we'll get caught.

And secret agents should never get caught!

But how do we get past them?

First of all, we've gotta be cool.

Second of all, we've gotta limbo!

Limbo?

Yeah!

We'll limbo our way under those laser beams!

All:

the laser beam. *

our limbo style. *

Pablo:

Uniqua: limbo lower now.

Limbo lower now.

How low can you go?

Woo-hoo!

Pablo: excellent limboing, agent uniqua!

Tyrone: yeah!

Thanks.

C'mon tyrone. You know what to do!

Tyrone: here I come.

Uniqua and pablo:

by the floor *

through the door. *

and keep it loose *

Tyrone: limbo lower now.

Limbo lower now.

How low can you go?

All right!

Uniqua: excellent limboing, agent tyrone!

Tyrone: it was tricky.

Pablo: now it's my turn. Here I come.

Uniqua and tyrone:

extend your arms *

those alarms. *

and limbo fast *

best for last. *

the test *

Limbo lower now.

Limbo lower now.

How low can you go?

Uniqua and tyrone: all right! Yeah!

(Gasp) oh no! My spy gadget!

Tyrone: uh-oh.

Pablo: oh no, I lost the spy gadget!

Uniqua: how are we ever going to find the secret owner

Of the mystery bone without it?

All: dunh dunh dunnhhhh!

Pablo: all right, we have to think.

Even without the spy gadget,

Agents always find a way.

The spy gadget said to find the secret owner

We had to get past the laser beams.

And find the gargantuan gallery.

Tyrone: Well, we're past the laser beams, so this must be...

All (in unison): The gargantuan gallery!

Tyrone: Wow! these are big treasures.

Uniqua: GARGANTUAN!

Pablo: And the owner of the mystery bone is here somewhere. But where?

Tyrone: We'll just have to sneak around until we find him.

(They do so. They checked the sculpture of a guy's nose, then a huge mouth with big teeth, but the bone wasn't a match. As they continued searching, Uniqua suddenly tripped over something.)

Uniqua: (trips and falls forward) WHOA! OOF!

(Camera pan to see that Uniqua had tripped over a huge boney foot.)

Uniqua: (gets up and gasps in awe) Hey look!

Pablo: (looks up) Wow!

(Pablo and Tyrone tilt up and made an historic discovery: a huge dinosaur skull!)

Uniqua: (smiles) It's a dinosaur skeleton!

Tyrone: Now that's what I call gargantuan!

Pablo: (notices its toes) Hey, how many toes does he have?

Tyrone: (counts the toes) One, two, three, four, five!

UNIQUA: You think the mystery bone could be one of his toes?

TYRONE: Exactly!

PABLO: Split up agents and count the toes! (They do so.)

UNIQUA: One, two, three, four, five! Five toes here!

PABLO: One, two, three, four, five! Five toes here!

TYRONE: (counts the final set of toes) One, two, three, four. Hm... (notices that one of the toes is missing) One, two, three, four! ONLY FOUR!

PABLO: (identifies the bone) And I'll bet this is toe number five!

UNIQUA: (to Pablo) See if it fits!

PABLO: (puts the bone on the missing spot) Mission accomplished! (The toe comes off) Oh. (tries again but it still came off) It won't stay on!

UNIQUA: We need something sticky.

TYRONE: (gets an idea) How about some spy maple syrup?

(Pablo and Uniqua thought that was a great idea.)

PABLO and UNIQUA: (smile; in unison) YEAH!

TYRONE: (smiles) I knew this maple syrup would come in handy. (puts his syrup on the back of bone like glue and goes to stick it on.) A little dab here and- (attaches the bone to the foot and-)

(Vola! The bone fits perfectly! It turns out that the mystery bone was actually a missing dinosaur toe!)

All: (excitedly) MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! WOO-HOO! ALL RIGHT! YAY! YIPPIE! WE DID IT! YEAH!

(With all that loud cheering, the alarm finally goes off in the exhibit they're in.)

PABLO: (shocked) OH NO AGENTS! WE SET OFF THE ALARM!

TYRONE: (worried) We better get out of here!

(They quickly make a break for it, when suddenly another cage appeared from underneath them.)

PABLO: We're trapped...

TYRONE: AGAIN!

UNIQUA: (smirks) But secret agents can always find a way out!

(To show them what she means, Uniqua points to a blue entry tile in the ceiling.)

PABLO: (looks up at the ceiling) THE SKYLIGHT!

(Apparently the cage that they're in is actually open on its top! Which means that the trio can finally get back to surface level in no time at all.)

UNIQUA: (smiles) Spy rope time again! (shoots her rope upwards) Grab hold, agents! Going up!

(Sooner as they were going up to where they started by the entrance, the dinosaur skull speaks to them.)

DINOSAUR SKULL: (salutes the trio) Thanks for my toe!

All: You're welcome!

Pablo: (smiles) Just doing our job!

(A few seconds later, Pablo, Uniqua and Tyrone arrive back at the museum entrance outside.)

PABLO: (to his fellow agents) Mission accomplished secret agents! Snacktime?

TYRONE: (his belly growls) Snacktime!

UNIQUA: Exactly.

PABLO: (excitedly) Let's get outta here! DUNH DUNH DUNNHHHH!

(Giggles)

Tyrone: that was quite a sneaky adventure,

Don't you think?

It sure was.

Very sneaky.

All:

wide world *

to have a snack. *

the backyardigans. *

Pablo: see you!

Tyrone: see you!

Uniqua: see you later!

Let's have snacks at my house!

My mom made brownies.

Pablo: yeah! Brownies!

Tyrone: I hope there's milk.

Pablo: I love brownies.

Do-do-doooo!
