[Violin playing "Flight of the Bumblebee"]

Leo: Music by... Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov!

The scene starts at the exterior of the Rocket Room with Rocket and Leo on his Safari hat.

Leo: Hey! I'm Leo, and guess what? Rocket's taking us on a safari to Africa! Come on! We're going to see all kinds of animals.

June: Whoa! Those are rhinoceroses!

Quincy: Cool!

Leo: Look at all the zebras!

Quincy: Awesome!

Annie: Wow, Elephants!

Leo: Do you like animals?

Leo: Really? What animals do you like?

Leo: Ooh, I like those too.

Rocket: [Jingles]

June: Rocket's ready for blast off!

Leo: Buckle your seatbelts.

All except Leo: Seatbelts buckled!

Leo: Prepare for blast off! We're going to need a lot of power to blast off. Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

[Rocket revving]

Leo: June is patting. Quincy's patting. Annie's patting.

[Annie giggling]

Leo: But we need more power! Put your hands on your laps and pat with us. Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat. Faster! Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

[Rocket revving]

Leo: Now raise your arms as high as you can and say blast off!

All: Blast off!

["Flight of the Bumblebee" playing]

Leo: Look! There it is! There's Africa!

Annie: Wow! Rocket got here fast!

Quincy: Look-- There's a cheetah. He's so fast.

Leo: Not as fast as rocket!

All: [Laughing]

June: Whoa, look at those impalas!

Annie: They can jump really high!

Leo: But not higher than rocket!

All: [Laughing]

Quincy: What's that?

Leo: Rocket, lower your look and listen scope.

Leo: Do you see who's making those noises?

Leo: Oh yeah! It's those wildebeests.

Quincy: Uh-oh. They sound like they're in trouble.

Annie: Big trouble!

June: The wildebeests need to cross the river, but there's too much water.

Leo: Rocket has an idea.

[Splash]

Quincy: I cannot believe it! Rocket's blocking the water.

June: Brilliant! Now the wildebeests can cross the river.

Annie: And so can those flamingos.

Leo: You did it rocket! You're a hero!

Annie: Yay, Rocket!

June: Whoo-hoo!

Quincy: Way to go!

Quincy: Is there anything rocket can't do?

Leo: Okay, Rocket. Let's go look at some more animals!

Annie: Uh oh, something's wrong!

Leo: Rocket's stuck!

Annie: I don't think rocket likes being stuck very much.

June: That water is extremely cold.

Leo: Don't worry, rocket. We'll get you out of those rocks. I promise.

June: Leo, we're going to need help to pull rocket out of there.

Annie: Why don't ask the animals to help?

Quincy: Yeah. We'll get the biggest animals in Africa to come pull.

Leo: We've got a mission!

[Baton jingles]

Leo: We need to pull rocket out of the rocks!

Rocket: [Jingles horrifying of coldness]

Leo: And fast!

June: Everybody spread out and look for really big animals.

Leo: Hey, look. This bumblebee wants to help.

Annie: Yay Bumblebee!

Quincy: Um, Leo, I though we said we were looking for big animals.

Leo: Is bumblebee a big animal? No. He's tiny.

Leo: But we're going to need all the help we can get, so will you help us bumblebee?

Annie: But we're going to need more help than just bumblebee.

June: I think bumblebee sees another animal.

Leo: What animal did Bumblebee find? Oh, yeah. That's an elephant.

June: An elephant would be perfect to pull Rocket out. They're enormous.

Quincy: Way to go, bumblebee!

Annie: Uh oh. The elephant doesn't see bumblebee. He's too little.

Quincy: Elephants push bugs away with their floppy ears!

Leo: We're going to help bumblebee. Come on!

Quincy: Whoa. I knew elephants were big, but he's humongous! How are we gonna get his attention?

June: Hey, I have an idea. Maybe the elephant will see us if we act like an elephants.

(Trumpeting)

June: Can you move your arm like an elephant trunk? Perfect.

June: Now can you make an elephant noise like this? (Trumpeting) Excellent.

June: Now do it really loudly so elephant hears us. Fortissimo. (Trumpeting)

June: That was loud, but we need it to be really loud. Fortissimo. (Trumpeting) (All Trumpeting)

[Elephant trumpeting]

June: It worked. he sees us.

Leo: Bumblebee going to ask him if he'll help rocket.

June: He said yes! Elephant is going to help Rocket.

Quincy: Whoo hoo!

Annie: Yay, Elephant!

Leo: Someone has to take elephant back to rocket.

June: I'll do it. Come on, elephant. I'll take it to rocket. Walk this way.

Annie: Go, June!

Quincy: We'll see you back at rocket.

Leo: That elephant was big. But we still need more help to save rocket.

Quincy: Right. We have to find more animals to pull him out.

Annie: On with the safari!

[Bumblebee singing "Flight of the Bumblebee"]

Leo, Annie and Quincy: ♪Find animals!♪

[Bumblebee singing "Flight of the Bumblebee"]

Leo, Annie and Quincy: ♪Help rocket!♪♪

Quincy: Hey, where did bumblebee go?

Leo: Bumblebee found more animals!

Leo: What animals did he find? Yeah! It's a hippopotamus!

Annie: Wow!

Quincy: Hey! Maybe a hippopotamus could help rescue rocket.

Leo: Uh oh. They went underwater.

Annie: They can't hear bumblebee down there.

Quincy: Hey! I have an idea. Follow me.

Quincy: I bet hippopotamus could hear my trumpet underwater.

Leo: Great idea, Quincy!

Quincy: How should I play trumpet so the hippopotamus could hear? Should I play it really loudly? Fortissimo?

[Playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" on trumpet loudly]

Quincy: Or Really Quiet? Pianissimo?

[Playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" on trumpet quietly]

Quincy: Fortissimo! Really loudly. Yeah! That'll get his attention.

Leo: Let's help Quincy play Bumblebee's song really loudly. Fortissimo. When he plays his trumpet, play your trumpet like this. Yeah That's it. Play your trumpet.

[Playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" on trumpet loudly]

Leo: It's working! They can hear us!

Annie: Look, look, look. The hippopotamus are talking.

Leo: They're talking about rocket.

[Hippopotamus sounding fanfare]

Quincy: It's one of the hippopotamuses. He said yes!

Quincy: Hippopotamus is going to help rocket!

Annie: Hooray!

Leo: That's great!

Quincy: Follow me hippopotamus. I'll take you to rocket.

Leo: Let's see how Rocket's doing.

Leo: Now we have a hippopotamus and an elephant to help rocket.

[Rocket shivering]

Annie: Rocket is getting really cold in this water.

Annie: He's going to catch a cold.

[Bumblebee jingles]

Leo: Right Bumblebee. We still need one more animal to pull rocket out. Come on, Annie. Rocket's counting on us.

[Bumblebee singing "Flight of the Bumblebee"]

Leo and Annie: ♪Find animals!♪

[Bumblebee singing "Flight of the Bumblebee"]

Leo and Annie: ♪Help rocket!♪♪

Annie: Bumblebee, where are you going?

Annie: Bumblebee found more animals.

Leo: What animals do you see? Oh, yeah. Those are giraffes.

Leo: Giraffes are the tallest animals in Africa. A giraffe would be perfect,

Leo: Just what we need need to pull Rocket out.

Annie: Let's go!

[Roaring music]

Leo: Wait, Annie! What animal is that? Yikes! You're right! It's a lion! Don't worry, Annie.

Leo: We don't have to go past the lion to get the giraffes.

[Laughing music]

Annie: Oh, no! What's over there?

Leo: What animal is that? Uh Oh! It's hyenas!

Leo: Don't worry, Annie. We don't have to go past the hyenas either.

[Loud snoring music]

Leo: What animal is that? You're right it's a rhinoceros.

Annie: Is the rhinoceros in our way?

Leo: He is in our way! We'll have to find a way past him to get to the giraffe!

[Rhinoceros snoring]

Annie: Hey, he's sleeping.

Leo: Maybe we can sneak past him.

Annie: How should we sneak pass the rhinoceros? Should we walk very loudly-- Fortissimo? Or very quietly-- Pianissimo? Pianissimo-- Very quietly. Good idea.

Leo: Help us be really quiet. Can you clap your hands pianissimo, like this?

[Clapping quietly to "Flight of the Bumblebee"]

Leo: Can you clap even more quietly-- Pianissimo?

[Clapping quieter in rhythm]

Leo: That's it.

[Clapping continues]

[Rhino yawning, snoring]

Leo: Shh. Keep Clapping.

[Clapping continues]

Leo: We got past the rhinoceros.

Annie: Hooray!

Leo: Way to clap pianissimo.

Annie: And there's a giraffe right there.

Leo: A Giraffe is going to be perfect to help rocket. They're giant.

Annie: Look, Bumblebee is asking Giraffe if she'll help.

Annie: Uh oh. it's not working. giraffe can't hear bumblebee.

Leo: Bumblebee is so tiny, he could only buzz pianissimo, really quietly.

Annie: Let's help Bumblebee buzz really loudly. Fortissimo! Can you buzz fortissimo like this?

[Buzzing to the tune of "Flight of the Bumblebee"]

Annie: Come on. Buzz with me.

[Both buzzing to "Flight of the Bumblebee"]

Leo: Giraffe didn't hear us.

Annie: Okay, we were loud before, but now we have to be very loud! Fortissimo!

[Both buzzing to "Flight of the Bumblebee"]

[Giraffe jingles]

Annie: We did it! Giraffe heard us. That was great buzzing.

Leo: Giraffe is going to help rocket.

Annie: Yay, Giraffe!

Leo: Go ahead, Giraffe. Follow bumblebee.
