Annie: Aww, he's so cute.

Quincy: Poor little baby cello.

Quincy: He wants to know where his mommy is.

Quincy: Hey there, little guy.

June: Listen.

June: He's asking Quincy if he's his mommy.

Quincy: No, silly baby cello!

Quincy: I'm not your mommy, I'm a kid!

Quincy: Your mommy is a cello, and she has a long neck, just like you.

Quincy: That's right.

Quincy: Cellos have long necks.

Annie: Whoa!

Annie: Where's he going?

June: He's going to look for his mommy.

Leo: Come on, team.

Leo: We've got to help baby cello find his way back to his mommy.

Annie: Wait for us, baby cello.

June: Uh-oh.

June: I wonder which way we go now.

Quincy: Listen.

Quincy: Baby cello is trying to call to his mommy.

Annie: Baby cello, I can help you call to her.

Annie: ♪I am a Cello♪

Annie: ♪And I am looking for my mommy!♪♪

[Mommy Cello playing her music]

Annie: Mommy cello heard us.

June: Leo, her music is coming from this direction.

Leo: Come on, team.

Leo: We need to follow the road that goes through the zoo.

June: Ooh, look at all the animal.

Annie: Baby cello is so excited.

Leo: He thinks he found his mommy in the zoo.

Quincy: Oh, yeah.

Quincy: Baby cello is looking for a mommy with a long neck.

Quincy: Which animal at the zoo has a long neck?

Quincy: The giraffe, right.

Annie: Is baby cello's mommy a giraffe?

Annie: No.

Quincy: Baby cello.

Quincy: That giraffe does have a long neck, but she's not your mommy.

Quincy: But, don't worry.

Quincy: I'm going to help you find baby cello.

Quincy: I promise.

[Gate slams]

June: Uh-oh.

June: The gates are locked shut.

Annie: Now we can't get through the door.

Leo: We need to find a key to open up the gates.

Leo: Everyone, start looking.

Quincy: Do you see the key?

Quincy: Yes.

Quincy: You found it.

Quincy: It's around the giraffe's neck.

Annie: But the giraffe is so tall.

Annie: How are we going to reach all the way up to her neck to get the key?

June: Look!

June: Baby cello is going to try to use the ladder to reach the key.

Quincy: Smart thinking, baby cello.

June: Uh-oh, the ladder's too small.

June: Baby cello can't reach the key.

Leo: Listen.

Leo: This is a musical ladder.

Leo: If I conduct a crescendo, that will make the ladder grow louder and bigger.

June: Great plan, Leo.

Leo: But I'm going to need your help.

Leo: Will you conduct with me?

Leo: Great!

Leo: Great your baton ready!

[Baton tapping]

Leo: Now put your hands down really low and slowly raise them up higher to tell the music to get louder.

Leo: A little louder.

June: It's working.

June: The ladder's music is getting louder.

Quincy: But the ladder still isn't tall enough to reach the key.

Leo: Conduct the music to get even louder.

Leo: Stand up and reach your hands as high as you can.

Leo: Crescendo!!

Leo: All right!

Leo: Baby cello can reach the key!

Quincy: Whoo-hoo!

Annie: Way to go!

June: Fantastic.

Annie: Baby cello opened the gate.

Annie: Come on, baby cello.

Annie: Let's call to your mommy.

Annie: ♪I am a Cello♪

Annie: ♪And I am looking for my mommy!♪♪

[Mommy Cello still playing her music]

June: Mommy cello sounds even louder than before.

Quincy: We're getting clser to your mommy, baby cello.

Quincy: Just remember, your mommy is a cello.

Quincy: She has a long neck and she has strings just like you.

Leo: Come on, Little Einsteins, this way.

June: Hey, wait!

June: Baby Cello is going inside that pasta restaurant.

Annie: He think he found his mommy.

Leo: I don't see baby cello anywhere.

Quincy: I know.

Quincy: He must be looking for a mommy that has long strings.

Quincy: Which one of these foods is long and stringy?

Quincy: The spaghetti noodle.

Quincy: Yes.

Leo: Baby cello thinks his mommy is spaghetti.

Quincy: Is spaghetti baby cello's mommy?

Quincy: No.

Quincy: Silly baby cello!

Quincy: Spaghetti is long and stringy, but speghetti isn't your mommy.

Quincy: Come on, baby cello.

Quincy: This way.

Annie: Uh-oh.

Annie: Tha speghetti machine can't stop making spaghetti!

June: It's going berserk.

Quincy: Whew.

Quincy: That was close.

Leo: Uh-oh.

Leo: I think one of our friends got stuck in the spaghetti.

Leo: Who got stuck in the spaghetti?

All: Rocket!

Annie: Rocket, are you ok?

[Rocket jingles, saying "I'm fine!"]

Leo: He's ok, but he's stuck in all that spaghetti.

Leo: He can't get out.

Quincy: Great idea, baby cello.

Quincy: We can pull the spaghetti to get Rocket untangled.

June: But we need to pull smoothly, legato, so the spaghetti doesn't break.

June: Let's do a smooth and steady spaghetti dance.

June: Do it with me.

June: Put your arms out in front of you and smoothly pull the spaghetti with one hand and then the other hand.

June: That's it.

June: One hand, then the other hand.

June: Pull legato so the the spaghetti doesn't break.

June: Legato.

June: Legato.

June: We did it!

June: Great dancing.

Annie: Come on, baby cello.

Annie: Let's call to your mommy.

Annie: ♪I am a Cello♪

Annie: ♪And I am looking for my mommy!♪♪

[Mommy Cello still plays her music as loud as she can]

Annie: Mommy cello sounds even louder than before.

Leo: We must be getting closer!

Quincy: Just remember, baby cello, your mommy has a long neck, string and a wooden bridge, just like you.

Quincy: That's right.

Quincy: Cellos have a wooden bridge.

June: Baby cello, wait for us!

Annie: Look.

Annie: Baby cello thinks that wooden bridge is his mommy.

Quincy: Is that bridge baby cello's mommy?

Quincy: No, silly cello.

Quincy: That wooden bridge isn't your mommy.

Leo: Uh-oh.

Leo: That's not just any bridge.

Leo: It's a drawbridge!

June: And it's opening up for that big, giant boat.

Quincy: Baby cello, watch out!

Quincy: Oh, no!

Quincy: Baby cello fell into the big, giant boat.

Annie: And it's taking baby cello out to sea.

Annie: Stop!

June: Come back, giant boat!

Leo: It's no use.

Leo: The boat can't hear us.

Annie: Poor baby cello.

Annie: How will he get to his mommy now?

Quincy: I've got to help him.

Quincy: Maybe the boat will hear me if I play my violin just like the boat's horn.

Quincy: Loud and strong.

Quincy: Sforzando.

June: That will tell the boat to bring back baby cello.

Annie: Great idea, Quincy.

Quincy: But I'm going to need your help to call the boat.

Quincy: Ready.

Quincy: Say, sforzando.

Quincy: Sforzando!

Quincy: Good.

Quincy: Now hold up your violin and how the strings loud and strong.
