The Secret Mystery Prize/Transcript

June: Art... "Shower Below the Summit", painted by Katsushika Hokusai

Annie: And music...

["In the Hall of the Mountain King" playing]

Leo: "Peer Gynt Suite No. 1", written by Edvard Grieg.

[The scene starts that the Little Einsteins are in Japan, of playing hide and seek to find Rocket].

Leo: Hi. I'm Leo. My friends and I are in Japan playing hide and seek. Do you like playing hide and seek? Great!

Annie: We're trying to find Rocket. He's really good at hiding.

Quincy: But we're really good at finding things.

Leo; Do you see where Rocket is hiding? Where? Yeah. There he is.

June: He's behind the Himeji Castle.

Annie: We found you, Rocket!

[Rocket jingles]

All: [Laughing]

["In the Hall of the Mountain King" playing]

Quincy: Wait a second. I hear music.

Leo: Let's see if we can find where it's coming from.

Annie: The music is getting louder.

June: It's coming from that old Japanese wood block.

Quincy: It's a picture of Mount Fuji.

Leo: Hmm. Let's use my magnifying glass to get a closer look.

Annie: There's a little box on top of Mount Fuji.

June: And inside the box is a secret mystery prize.

Leo: Ooh. I wonder what it could be. To open the prize box, you need the golden music key.

Annie: Look, look, look! The golden music key broke into little pieces.

June: Let's count to see how many pieces there are. Count with me. One, two, three, four. Yes. There are four pieces.

Leo: To open the prize box, you have to find four pieces and put the golden key together.

Annie: Oh-no! The pieces are hiding.

Quincy: Hey. We're good at finding things. I bet we can find the pieces of the golden music key.

June: Then we can open the prize box and see the mystery prize.

Leo: But we better keep this a secret. We don't want that sneaky big jet finding out about the secret mystery prize.

[Big Jet revving]

Annie: Uh-oh. That sounded like big jet! Do you see big jet? Yes. There he is!

[Big Jet making sneaky sounds]

Quincy: He peaked at the treasure map! What a sneak.

Leo: Now he knows about the secret mystery prize!

June: Big jet is going to try and find the pieces of the key so that he can take the prize for himself!

Annie: That's not fair!

[Rocket jingling frantically]

Leo: Right, Rocket. We have to hurry and put that key together before big jet! But we're going to need your help. Will you help us find all the pieces of the golden music key? Great. We've got a mission!

[Baton jingles]

Leo: We're going to find the pieces and put together the golden music key.

Quincy: We have to get the secret mystery prize before big jet.

Leo: Let... the mission... begin!

[Door closes]

Leo: Buckle your seatbelts.

All except Leo: Seatbelts buckled!

Leo: Prepare for blastoff. We need to give Rocket a lot of power. Put your hands on your lap and pat with us. Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

[Rocket revving]

Leo: Faster! Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat. Now raise your arms as high as you can and say blast off!

Leo: Blast off!

Annie: Hold on tight, 'cause here we go!

All: Whoa!!

Leo: Whoo-hoo!

Quincy: All right!

Leo: We're going to find the pieces and put the key together before big jet!

[First four notes of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" playing]

Quincy: Listen. That sounds like the first piece of the music key. It must be hiding down there by the Tahoto Pagoda. Do you see where the first piece is hiding? Where is it? Yeah. It's hiding in these cherry blossoms. You found it!

[Rocket grabbing]

Annie: Hooray!

June: All right!

Leo: Good work, team!

Annie: Now we have the first piece of the golden music key.

[First piece playing first four notes]

Annie: Listen. The music key plays a special song. Find the pieces...

Leo: Good song, Annie.

June: Sing it again!

Annie: ♪Find the pieces...♪ Sing it with me. ♪Find the pieces...♪ Sing it one more time. ♪Find the pieces...♪ Good singing.

["In the Hall of the Mountain King" playing next three notes]

June: I hear the next piece of the golden music key.

Quincy: It's on top of that Torii Gate in Japan.

Leo: That's the Itsukushima Shrime. Hurry Rocket! We've got to get that piece before big jet!

[Second piece playing next three notes]

Quincy: Huh? That's Weird. I can hear the next piece of the golden music key, but I don't see it anywhere. Where is the second piece? Oh, yeah. You found it.

Annie: The Torii Gate took the piece underwater. We have to make that musical gate come up out of the water so we can get the piece.

Leo: I can help. I can conduct a crescendo. That will make the musical Torii Gate grow louder and louder until it raise up out of the water.

Annie: Excellent plan, Leo.

Leo; But I'm going to need your help. Will you conduct with me? Great. Get your baton ready.

[Tapping baton as "Morning Mood" plays]

Leo: Now put your hands down really low and slowly raise them up higher to tell the music to get louder. A little louder. It's working. Torii Gate is starting to get louder. It's growing out of the water. Conduct the music to get even louder. Slowly reach your hands as high as you can. Crescendo!

June: Hooray!

Annie: Yay!

Quincy: Way to go, Leo!

Leo: We did it! We made to Torii Gate grow out of the water!

Annie: And there's the next piece of the golden music key.

[Big Jet revving]

June: Uh-oh. That sounds like big jet! Do you see big jet? Yes. There he is!

Quincy: He's going to try to grab the piece before Rocket!

Annie: Hurry, Rocket!

[Snatch]

Leo: Did Rocket get it? Rocket got the piece!

Annie: Hooray!

June: Yay!

Quincy: Way to go, Rocket! Hey. I wonder what big jet got.

Leo: He got a bunch of seaweeds!

[Pieces attaching]

Annie: Now we have another piece of the golden music key.

♪Find the pieces, get the prize!♪

Annie: Sing it with me.

♪Find the pieces, get the prize!♪

Quincy: All right! We only need two more pieces to finish the key.

Leo: Then we can open the prize box and see what the secret mystery prize is.

["In the Hall of the Mountain King" playing next three notes]

June: I hear the next piece.

Leo: There it is. It's hiding somewhere in that zen garden. Rocket, to the zen garden.

Quincy: Look. That zen garden doesn't have any flowers.

June: A zen garden is made out of sand and stone. Ooh.

Annie: It's so quiet and peaceful.

Leo: I wonder where the next piece of the key is hiding.

Leo; Can you find it? Oh, yeah. You found it. It's in that tea house.

[Big Jet revving]

Quincy: Uh-oh. I don't think we're the only ones in this zen garden. Where's big jet? Yeah! He's looking for the next piece!

Annie: But he doesn't see it yet.

Quincy: We need to sneak past big jet and get that piece before he sees it!

[Rocket jingles]

Quincy: Great idea, Rocket. Rocket can bounce over the stones to sneak past big jet.

Annie: But he has to bounce quietly. Piano.

June: We need to help Rocket bounce quietly to the staccato rhythm. Clap the staccato rhythm with me. Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. Clap, clap, clap. Clap, clap, clap.

[Quiet bouncing noises]

June: Excellent. We're helping Rocket bounce quietly. Piano. Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap. Whew.

[Big Jet revving]

June: To sneak past big jet, we have to be even quieter. Pianissimo. We need to tap the staccato rhythm with just our fingers. Hold out two fingers on each hand, and tap them together like this. Good. Tap the rhythm softly with just two fingers. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Tap, tap, tap. Tap, tap, tap. That's it.

[Bouncing quieter]

June: We're almost past big jet. Let's be even quieter. Pianissimo. This time, put out just one finger on each hand. Now tap the rhythm very softly with just one finger. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. Tap, tap, tap. Tap, tap, tap.

[Bouncing quietest]

June: We did it. We got past big jet.

Leo: And look.

Quincy: There's the tea house! Where is the next piece of the music key hiding?

Leo: Yes. There it is in that basket of tea leaves.

[Big Jet revving as he hears the music's third piece, translates to "Nani?!" (That's Japanese for "What?!")]

Annie: Oh-no! Big jet heard the piece! He's coming to get it!

Leo: Hurry, Rocket!

[Snatch]

Leo: Hooray!

Quincy: Rocket got there first!

June: We got the piece!

Quincy: And what did big jet get?

Annie: He got covered with tea leaves!

June: Thanks for helping us get the next piece of the golden music key.

[Key pieces attaching]

Annie: ♪Find the pieces, get the prize! Use your ears...♪

Annie: Sing it with me.

Annie: ♪Find the pieces, get the prize! Use your ears...♪

Quincy: We only need to find one more piece to finish putting together the key.

June: There we can open the prize box on top of Mount Fuji.

["In the Hall of the Mountain King" playing last three notes"]

Leo: Rocket hears the last piece of the music key. Where's it coming from, Rocket? Oh. That last piece is hiding somewhere in Tokyo.

Quincy: Then the Little Einsteins are going to Tokyo!

[Fourth piece playing last three notes]

Annie: I hear the last piece.

Quincy: It's coming from down there at the Tokyo big sight.

Annie: Look, look, look! There are three golden pieces!

Leo: Careful, team. This looks like a trick. Only one of the pieces belongs on the golden music key.

June; And we have to pick the right one.

[Rocket jingles]

Quincy: Rocket knows. We need to find the piece that plays these three notes.

[Plays last three notes on bassoon]

Quincy: Now let's look carefully at the three pieces and listen.

Quincy: Hmm. That's a tough one. Remember, we need to find the piece that plays these three notes. Let's look and listen one more time.

Quincy: Which is the right one? This one in the middle? Oh, yeah. It's plays the exact three notes that we're looking for.

[Snatch]

Annie: Does the last piece fit on our golden music key?

[Key pieces attaching]

Annie: Yes! It fits!

Leo: Hooray!

Quincy: We did it!

June: Yay!

Annie: ♪Find the pieces, get the prize! Use your ears, use your eyes.♪♪

Annie: Sing it with me.

Annie: ♪Find the pieces, get the prize! Use your ears, use your eyes.♪♪

[Rocket jingles]

Leo: Right, Rocket. Now that we have the key, we can open the prize box and get the secret mystery prize!

[Big Jet revving]

Leo: Uh-oh. Who does that sound like? Big Jet? You're right! Big jet knows where the prize box is, too!

Quincy: He's going to try and beat us to Mount Fuji and take it!

Annie: But we have to get there first so big jet doesn't take the prize!

Leo: There's only one way to beat big jet. We're going to have to fly Rocket as fast as he can go. Super fast! Super fast!

All except Leo: Super fast!

[Backup booster deploying]

Leo: To get to super fast, we have to start at adagio.

[Beep]

Leo: Pat the beat on your lap slowly.

[Patting; beep]

Leo: Moderato. Now pat the beat on your tummy a little faster.

[Patting; beep]

Leo: Allegro! Now pat the beat on your shoulders even faster.

[Patting; beep; alarm]

Leo: Presto! Now raise your arms to the sky and shake your whole body! We did it! We're flying super fast!

[Zooming]

Annie: Look, look, look! Rocket's flying faster than big jet! Hooray!

Quincy: He got the prize box before big jet!

Leo: Way to go, Rocket!

June: And look what happened to big jet. He flew right into that big pile of snow.

Quincy: And now he looks like a big jet snowman.

All: [Laughing]

Leo: Big jet is giving up and going home! Should we open the prize box and see what the prize is? Yeah. Go for it, Annie!

[Key turning; box opens]

All: Whoa!

Quincy: I can not believe it!

Quincy: The prize box is filled with... Japanese instruments!

June: Whoa!

Leo: What a prize!

June: There's a shakuhachi.

[Shakuhachi playing "In the Hall of the Mountain King"]

June: And a Biwa.

[Biwa playing "In the Hall of the Mountain King"]

June: And a koto.

[Koto playing "In the Hall of the Mountain King"]

June: And a humongous odaiko.

[Odaiko playing "In the Hall of the Mountain King"]

Leo: They make beautiful music.

Annie: Let's sing with the Japanese instruments. Sing with me.

♪Find the pieces, get the prize! Use your ears, use your eyes!♪♪

Leo: Mission completion!

[Baton jingles] Leo: Now it's time for... the curtain call!

[Cheering, Applause]

Leo: ♪Let's give a hand and hear it for the team♪

[Clap, clap, clap, clap]

All: ♪And ra-ra-ra for Rocket!♪

[Clap, clap, clap, clap]

All: Edvard Grieg! Hooray! Yay, Grieg!

Annie: And here comes the music of the day.

Leo: Peer Gynt Suite Number 1.

["In the Hall of the Mountain King" playing]

Leo: See you on the next mission!

Quincy: Uh-oh! Something's falling!

June: I'll catch it!

Annie: June, over there!

Leo: No, June! The other side!

Quincy: Catch it, June! Catch it!

Leo: She caught a big sock!

Quincy: That's so silly!
