["Humoresque No. 7" playing]

Leo: "Humoresque No. 7", written by Antonín Dvořák.

[The scene starts at Leo and Annie's House that the Little Einsteins are playing with Rocket while he catches a ball.]

Annie: ♪Hi, hi, hi!♪♪ I'm Annie! My friends and I are playing catch with Rocket!

[Leo steps on the inflator and the ball goes up as Rocket catches it!]

Leo: Way to go, Rocket!

Annie: Rocket has so much energy! He likes to play games all day long! Do you like to play games? I thought so!

[Suddenly, Rocket's tummy is starting to rumble!]

June: What was that?

Annie: That's the sound Rocket's tummy makes when he gets hungry.

Rocket: [Tummy rumbling]

Quincy: He sounds really hungry.

Annie: Come on! Let's go get Rocket something to eat!

Leo: Great idea, Annie!

[And the heroes are entering the Rocket Room for a special meal for Rocket]

Annie: Rocket get his energy from eating healthy foods. Do you want to know what Rocket's favorite healthy food is? It's... Rocket soup!

Rocket: [Jingles]

Annie: [Giggles] Rocket loves rocket soup!

Leo: How do you make rocket soup, Annie?

Annie: Easy.

Annie: You put cheese, peas, and musical jumping beans in this big pot and you stir it up.

Quincy: But we don't have cheese.

June: And we don't have any peas.

Leo: And we don't have any musical jumping bean.

Quincy: Uh-oh!

Quincy: If we don't have the ingredients, we can't make rocket soup.

June: But Rocket sounds really hungry!

Annie: Don't worry, Rocket.

Annie: I know we can get the ingredients.

Annie: We can get cheese from our friend Little Mouse.

Annie: He always has the best cheese.

Annie: We can get peas from our friend The Good Knight.

Annie: He grows the freshest vegetables in his castle garden.

Annie: And we can get yummy musical jumping beans from our friend Joey, the kangaroo.

Quincy: So, if we get the ingredients from our friends, we can make rocket soup.

Leo: Uh-oh! Check out Rocket's Hungry meter. He's getting hungrier!

June: We have to hurry!

Annie: We're going to need your help.

Annie: Will you help us get all of the ingredients to make rocket soup?

Annie: Great!

[Baton jingles]

Leo: We've got a mission! We're going to get the ingredients for rocket soup. Let... the mission... begin!

[And the heroes prepare a blast off to find Little Mouse]

Leo: Buckle your seatbelts.

All except Leo: Seatbelts buckled!

Leo: Prepare for blast off!

Leo: We need to give Rocket a lot of power.

Leo: Put your hands on your lap and pat with us.

Leo: Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

Leo: Faster!

Leo: Pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat.

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

All: Blast off!

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

All: Whoa!!

Leo: Whoo-hoo!

Quincy: All right!

Annie: We're off to get the ingredients to make rocket soup.

Quincy: We sure need a lot of ingredients to make rockeet soup.

June: How are we going to remember them all?

Annie: Simple.

Annie: I made up a special rocket soup song.

Annie: ♪Mouse has cheese, the knight has peas, and Joey has the jumping beans, that was we need to make the rocket soup!♪♪

Quincy: Nice song, Annie.

June: Brava!

Annie: So the first ingredient we need is cheese.

Annie: Do you remember who has the cheese?

Annie: Little Mouse!

Annie: Right!

Leo: Go that way, Rocket.

Leo: Our friend little mouse lives in Washington DC.

Quincy: Whoa! Little Mouse lives at Kennedy Center.

Annie: Ooh, look.

Annie: An orchestra.

Annie: There are lots of different kinds of instruments in the orchestra.

Quincy: There's the percussion section, the string section, the woodwind section, and the brass section.

Leo: But I don't see Little Mouse and his cheese.

Quincy: Little Mouse, where are you?

Quincy: Do you see, Little MOuse?

Quincy: Yes.

Quincy: There he is, on the xylophone.

Leo: Look, Little Mouse has a chunk of cheese for our rocket soup.

June: But he's having a hard time carrying it.

Annie: That big cheese is too heavy for Little Mouse.

Quincy: Uh-oh.

Quincy: The cheese fell inside that oboe.

June: Little Mouse is going to jump inside the oboe to get the cheese.

Quincy: Be careful, Little Mouse!

June: Oh, no!

June: Little Mouse and the cheese are stuck inside the oboe.

Quincy: Don't worry, Little Mouse.

Quincy: I'll get you out of the oboe.

Quincy: I promise.

Annie: But how, Quincy?

Quincy: I can play the oboe to get Little Mouse unstuck.

Quincy: If I play the oboe loud enough, it will push out Little Mouse and the cheese.

June: Good plan, Quincy.

Leo: Try it.

Quincy: It's working.

Quincy: Little mouse is starting to come out of the oboe.

Quincy: But I'm going to need your help to get him all the way out.

Quincy: Hold up your oboe like me and wiggle your fingers to press the key.

Quincy: He's almost out of the oboe.

Quincy: Play really loudly.

Quincy: Fortissimo.

Quincy: We did it.

Quincy: We got Little Mouse and the cheese out of the oboe.

Quincy: Thanks, Little Mouse.

Quincy: You were very brave.

Annie: Now we've got the first ingredient for rocket soup.

June: Mmm, that cheese sure looks yummy.

Annie: Uh-oh.

Annie: I hear Rocket's tummy grumbling.

Leo: Come on, Team.

Quincy: Oh, no.

Quincy: Rocket's getting even hungrier.

Annie: Don't worry, Rocket.

Annie: We're going to get the rest of the ingredients so we can make you rocket soup.

All: Blast off!

Annie: ♪Mouse has cheese, the knight has peas, and Joey has the jumping beans, that was we need to make the rocket soup!♪♪

Annie: So, we got the cheese from Little Mouse.

Annie: What's the next ingredient we need for rocket soup?

Annie: Peas.

Annie: Right.

Annie: And who has the peas?

Annie: The Good Knight.

Annie: Yes.

Annie: He grows delicous peas in his castle garden.

Leo: Rocket, to the Good Knight's Castle!

Annie: Do you see The Good Knight?

Annie: Yes.

Annie: There he is, in the castle garden.

Quincy: Hey there, Good Knight.

June: Can we have some peas from your garden?

Leo: We need them to make rocket soup.

Quincy: Uh-oh, that rain cloud is raining on The Good Knight.

Annie: He's moving slower and slower.

June: Oh, no!

June: The Good Knight's suit of armor is getting all rusty.

Leo: He can't get to the pea plants now. He can't move!

June: Don't worry, Good Knight.

June: I can do my trusty rusty dance.

June: It will help you move your body again.

June: But I'm going to need your help to get The Good Knight unstuck.

June: First, you move your head, then. your elbows, then one leg, and then the other.

June: Do it with me.

June: Head and your elbows, one leg, the other legs let's do the trusty rusty dance.

June: It's working!

June: The Good Knight is getting closer to the peas.

June: But we need to dance faster.

June: Head and your elbows, one leg, the other legs let's do the trusty rusty dance.

June: Come on, he's almost at the pea plant.

June: Dance even faster!

June: Head and your elbows, one legs, the other legs let's do the trusty rusty dance.

June: We did it!

June: The Good Knight can move his whole body again.

Quincy: All right.

June: Thanks for doing the trusty rusty dancw with me.

Annie: Look, look, look.

Annie: He's picking peas for the rocket soup.

June: Thanks, good knight.

Leo: These peas sure look tasty.

Annie: They're going to taste great in the rocket soup.

Quincy: Uh-oh.

Quincy: What's that sound?

Quincy: It's Rocket's tummy.

Quincy: Right.

Leo: And it's grumbling really loudly.

June: Let's go check his hungry meter.

June: Oh, no!

June: Rocket's getting incredibly hungry.

Annie: Don't worry, Rocket.

Annie: We're going to get the last ingredient so we can make you rocket soup.

Annie: Joey the kangaroo.

Quincy: Joey lives in Australia.

Leo: Yeah.

Leo: Head for Australia, Rocket.

Annie: Look, look, look!

Annie: There's Joey the kangaroo.

Quincy: Hiya, Joey.

Annie: Joey, can we have some of your mucisal jumping beans for our rocket soup?

Leo: Uh-oh.

Leo: Joey can't find his musical jumping beans.

Leo: Where are Joey's jumping beans?

Leo: Yes, there they are, on that big rock.

Quincy: Oh, no!

Quincy: They're jumping away.

June: They're jumping into the sky.

Quincy: They're jumping into outer space.

Annie: They're jumping all the way to....

All: The planet Jupiter!

June: Oh, no!

June: But we need those jumping beans.

Annie: We can't make the rocket soup without them.

Quincy: And Rocket's getting super hungry!

Leo: Look, Joey is going to try to get the jumping beans back.

Annie: He's jumping to Jupiter!

Quincy: Go, Joey!

June: You can do it!

Annie: Ooh, be careful, Joey.

Annie: There are big icy comets in space!

June: Big ice comets?!

June: Yikes!

Quincy: We've got to help Joey get to the jumping beans without running into a comet.

Leo: Don't worry.

Leo: I know how to help him.

[And when Leo has a plan, Rocket bounces the clouds of going to Outer Space and enter the Asteroid field]

Leo: We can conduct Joey to bounce on the asteroids, all the way to Jupiter.

Leo: Like this.

Leo: But when you see a big icy comet, we need to stop conducting so Joey will stop bouncing.

Leo: That's it!

Leo: Now get your baton ready!

Leo: Conduct with me.

Leo: Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.

Leo: Uh-oh!

Leo: Here comes a big icy comet.

Leo: Stop conducting.

Leo: All right!

Leo: We stopped conducting just in time.

Leo: Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.

Leo: Oh, no.

Leo: Here comes another icy comet.

Leo: Stop conducting!

Leo: All right.

Leo: Now conduct.

Leo: An icy comet.

Leo: Stop.

Leo: Joey is almost to Jupiter.

Leo: Conduct.

Leo: Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce.

Leo: He made it!

June: You were spectacular!

Annie: Yay!

June: You helped Joey jump all the way to Jupiter.

Quincy: And you helped keep him safe from all those big icy comet.

Leo: Thanks for conducting with me.

June: Joey got the musical jumping beans.

Leo: Thanks for your help, Joey.

Leo: You were very brave.

Annie: Now do we have all the ingredients we need to make rocket soup?

Annie: Yes.

Annie: We've got the cheese, the peas, and the musical jumping beans.

Leo: Uh-oh! What was that sound? Rocket's tummy. Right!

Annie: Let's look at his hungry meter.

June: Oh, no!

June: Rocket's about to have a hungry emergency!!

Quincy: If he gets too hungry, he'll run out of energy!

Annie: We need to hurry and get home so we can make the rocket soup.

[Rocket jingles of an idea by using his new power]

Leo: Right, Rocket.

Leo: There's only one way to get home in time.

Leo: We're going to have to fly Rocket as fast as he can go.

Leo: Super fast!

Leo: Will you help me fly Rocket super fast?

Leo: Great!

Leo: Super fast!

All except Leo: Super fast!

Leo: To get to super fast, we have to start at adagio. Pat the beat on your lap slowly.

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

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

Leo: Presto! Now reach your arms to the sky and shake your whole body!

Leo: We did it! We're flying super fast!!

June: Hooray! We made it home!

Leo: We've got to hurry and make rocket soup!

Annie: What's the first ingredient for rocket soup?

Annie: Cheese, right.

Annie: What's the second ingredient for rocket soup?

Annie: Peas, yes.

Annie: And what's the last ingredient?

Annie: It's ready! Here you go, Rocket.

[Rocket uses his straw to eat the soup]

Quincy: Look, Rocket's eating all of his soup.

Quincy: He slurpped it all up.

Leo: He's not hungry anyone!

Annie: Did the rocket soup give Rocket energy?

[Rocket jingles excitedly and he's ready to play again!]

Annie: Yes!

Annie: Healthy rocket soup gave Rocket lots and lots of energy.
