["Aida" playing]

Leo: "Aida", written by Giuseppe Verdi.

The scene starts that the Little Einsteins are marching from the Bialowieza Forest in Poland after they're making another Rocket Soup.

Leo: Hi, I'm Leo. And these are my friends. June, Quincy, Annie, and Rocket.

[Rocket jingles]

June: We're marching with Rocket through the Bialowieza Forest in Poland.

Quincy: Rocket is going to visit one of his favorite people in the whole world. His grandma.

Annie: Grandma Rocket!

Rocket: [Jingles]

Leo: Do you want to see a picture of Grandma Rocket? Cool!

June: Aw. Grandma Rocket is so sweet.

[Rocket jingles]

Quincy: Rocket sure loves his grandma.

Annie: Leo, how come Grandma Rocket is lying in bed?

Leo: Grandma Rocket isn't feeling well today.

June: Poor Grandma Rocket. She has a cold.

Quincy: Rocket has something for his grandma.

Leo: Rocket made something big and special that will make Grandma Rocket feel all better. Do you wanna see what Rocket made for his grandma?

Leo: Ok. Ta-da!

Leo: It's a big pot of Rocket soup.

Annie: Rocket soup is healthy and delicious.

[Soup playing "Aida"]

Quincy: Ooh. And listen. This pot of Rocket soup even play a special get well song.

June: Rocket, that soup is going to make your grandma feel all better.

[Rocket jingles]

Quincy: Come on! Let's help Rocket bring the Rocket soup to his grandma.

[Big Jet whirring]

Leo: Wait, you guys! I hear something. Listen.

Quincy: Yikes! I heard it, too.

Annie: It sounds like that big, bad, blue airplane...

All: Big jet!

Leo: That Big Jet plane loves Rocket soup! If he sees it, he's going to try and take it!

Rocket: [Jingles in horror]

June: Where is big jet? Yes, there he is.

[Zoom]

June: Hey, I don't see where he went.

[Snatch]

Quincy: I cannot believe it! Big jet took the Rocket soup.

June: Oh-no! How is Rocket going to make his grandma feel all better now?

Annie: Grandma Rocket needs that Rocket soup!

[Rocket jingles worriedly]

Leo: Don't worry, Rocket. We'll get the soup back. But we're going to need your help. Will you help us get the Rocket soup back from big jet? Great! We've got a mission!

[Baton jingles]

Leo: We've got to get the Rocket soup back from big jet so that Rocket can give it his Grandma. Let... the mission... begin!

[Door closes]

Leo: Buckle your seat belts.

All except Leo: Seat belts buckled!

Leo: Prepare for blast off! 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!

All: Blast off!

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

All: Whoa!!

Leo: Whoo-hoo!

Quincy: All right!

June: We're off to get the Rocket soup back from big jet!

Quincy: Rocket needs to give it to Grandma Rocket so that she can feel better.

Annie: Let's go and get the Rocket soup, back from the bad, big jet,

Grandma needs it quick.

Get the soup.

Get the soup.

Get the soup.

Quincy: Great song, Annie.

Leo: Little Einsteins, listen.

[Soup playing "Aida"]

Leo: I hear the Rocket soup. Big jet must be around here somewhere.

June: But I don't see him.

Quincy: All I see is a forest full of trees.

Leo: Hey, check out that funny looking tree over there.

Annie: It has a big pot on top of it.

June: That's bizarre.

[Rocket jingling suspiciously]

Quincy: Rocket doesn't think that's a tree. He thinks it's someone pretending to be a tree.

Leo: Who do you think that is? Big Jet! Right! And he has the Rocket soup!

Annie: We see you, Big Jet!

[Big Jet whirring]

June: Big Jet's flying that way with the soup for Grandma Rocket!

Quincy: After him, Rocket!

[Rocket zooming]

Quincy: Rocket's catching up to him.

Annie: Go, Rocket! You're getting closer.

Leo: Uh-oh! I wonder what big jet is doing now.

[Cymbals crashing]

Quincy: He's crashing these cymbals.

June: Oh-no! Those loud cymbals are waking up all those dragonflies in the forest!

Annie: Yikes! They're moving so fast!

Quincy: Rocket can't get past them to catch up big jet.

Leo: But we can't let big jet get away with the Rocket soup.

June: Don't worry, Rocket. I can help you fly past the dragonflies, but I'm going to need your help. We have to help Rocket fly over the dragonflies. Clap your hands up high, like this. Clap, clap, clap, clap.

[Clapping in rhythm]

June: Clap to the beat. Clap, clap, clap, clap. Clap, clap, clap, clap. Clap, clap, clap, clap.

[Clapping in rhythm]

June: That's it. We're helping Rocket fly high over the dragonflies. Uh-oh. Now we have to help Rocket fly low under the dragonflies. Clap your hands down low. Clap, clap, clap, clap.

[Clapping in rhythm]

June: That's it. We're flying low. Uh-oh. More dragonflies!

Annie: They're everywhere!

June: We're going to have to do some really tricky clapping. Clap like me. Clap up high. Clap down low. Now, reach all the way over here and clap to the side, like me. Now reach your arms all the way to this side and clap over here. Clap high. Clap low. Clap over here. Clap everywhere. Clap, clap, clap, clap. Clap, clap, clap, clap. Clap, clap, clap, clap. We made it!

Quincy: Hooray! Whoo-hoo!

Leo: That was great, June! You helped Rocket fly past all the dragonflies.

[Rocket jingling]

June: You're welcome, Rocket. Thanks for clapping with me.

Quincy: Now let's hurry. We have to catch up with big jet so Rocket can get the soup back.

Annie: He wants to give it to his Grandma Rocket so that she'll feel better.

Let's go and get the Rocket soup, back from the bad, big jet,

Grandma needs it quick.

Get the soup.

Get the soup.

Get the soup.

[Soup playing "Aida"]

Leo: Listen, That's sounds like the Rocket soup. We must be catching up to big jet.

June: But I don't see big jet anywhere.

Quincy: Look. There's a train.

Annie: It's a big, blue train. And it's pulling a pot of soup.

[Rocket jingling suspiciously]

June; Wait. Rocket doesn't think that's really a train. He thinks it's someone pretending to be a train.

Leo: It's Big Jet!

Annie: We see you, big jet!

[Big Jet whirring]

Leo: Hurry, Rocket! He's getting away with Grandma Rocket's soup!

[Rocket whirring]

Leo: Whoa. Rocket transformed into something new What did Rocket turned into? A train. Yes.

June: Now Rocket can ride on the train tracks and catch up with big jet.

Leo: Help Rocket go fast like a train. Say, Choo-choo!

All: Choo-choo!

Annie: Look, look, look! Big jet is headed for that big tunnel!

Leo: Follow him, Rocket!

[Track switching]

June: Uh-oh. Big jet switched the track. Now Rocket's headed for the wrong tunnel. He's going to the little tunnel!

Quincy: Oh-no! Rocket is too big to fit through the little tunnel!

Annie: But Rocket has to get through the tunnel. Big jet's getting away with the soup!

[Tunnel playing "Aida"]

Leo: Wait! Rocket hears something. Listen.

June: The little tunnel is playing music.

Quincy: It's a music tunnel.

Leo: Rocket, I have an idea for how you can get through the tunnel. I can conduct the tunnel to play the music louder and louder. Crescendo! That will make the tunnel grow bigger so you can fit through it.

Annie: Go for it, Leo! You can do it!

Leo: I'm going to need your help to conduct the tunnel to get louder. Get your baton ready!

[Baton tapping]

Leo: Now put your hands down really low and slowly raise them higher to make the tunnel's music get louder. A little louder. It's working. The tunnel is getting louder and louder. Crescendo! But it's still not big enough for Rocket to fit through. We need to conduct the music to get louder. Put your hands down as low as you can and make the tunnel play the music louder. Louder. Even louder! Crescendo! All right! We made the music tunnel big enough for Rocket. Great conducting.

Annie: Hooray! Rocket fit enough through the tunnel!

Leo: You did it, Rocket! You made it!

June: And look! There's the end of the train tracks!

Annie: Now let's find big jet and get back the Rocket soup once and for all.

Quincy: Rocket really wants to give it to his grandma so she can feel better.

Leo: Go, Rocket!

Annie: Let's go and get the Rocket soup, back from the bad, big jet,

Grandma needs it quick.

All: Get the soup.

Get the soup.

Get the soup.

[Soup playing "Aida"]

Leo: Shh. Rocket hears something. It's the Rocket soup song.

Annie: Big jet must be hiding inside one of the clouds.

Leo: We've got him now! But we need to figure out which cloud he's hiding behind.

Quincy: Let's listen for the Rocket soup song. Remember, the Rocket soup song sounds like this.

[Playing "Aida" on trumpet]

Quincy: Let's listen for the Rocket soup in this cloud.

[Warbling music playing]

Quincy: Does that sound like the Rocket soup? No. Big Jet's not hiding in that cloud. Let's listen in the next cloud.

[Twittering music playing]

Quincy: Does that sound like the Rocket soup? No! Big Jet's not hiding in that cloud, either. Let's listen in the third cloud.

[Cloud playing "Aida"]

Quincy: Does that sound like the Rocket soup? Yes! The Rocket soup song is coming from inside that cloud. Great listening.

[Big Jet whirring]

Quincy: Look. Big jet is pretending to be a cloud.

All: We found you, big jet!

June: Oh-no. Big jet dropped Grandma Rocket's soup.

Annie: It's going to hit the ground and go splat!

Leo: We need to fly super fast to catch the soup! Will you help me fly Rocket super fast? Great! Super fast!

All except Leo: Super fast!

[Backup booster whirring; beep]

Leo: To get to super fast, we need to start at adagio. 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 your shoulder even faster!

[Patting; beep]

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

["Aida" playing presto]

[Rocket catches the soup]

Annie: Hooray!

June: Rocket caught the soup!

Quincy: I can not believe it!

[Rocket jingles happily]

Leo: Rocket. Now you can give the soup to your grandma so she can feel better.

[Rocket jingles]

June: Grandma Rocket's going to be so excited.

Annie: Look, look, look! There's Grandma Rocket's house! Over there!

[Rocket jingles]

Quincy: Now Rocket can finally give Grandma the Rocket soup he made for her.

Leo: Come on.

[They enter; but... all they see is a fake Grandma Rocket]

Annie: Grandma Rocket. We're here!

[Rocket jingles]

Leo: Hi, Grandma Rocket.

[Fake Grandma Rocket (Big Jet) whirring]

Leo: Rocket brought you a nice big pot of Rocket soup. He made it just for you.

[Rocket jingling]

Annie: My, Grandma Rocket. What a big nose you have.

[Fake Grandma Rocket (Big Jet) whirring]

Annie: She said, "The better to smell the soup with."

Quincy: My, Grandma Rocket. What big wings you have.

[Fake Grandma Rocket (Big Jet) whirring]

Quincy: She said, "The better to hold the soup with."

June: My, Grandma Rocket. What big jets you have.

[Fake Grandma Rocket (Big Jet) whirring]

June: She said, "The better to fly away with the soup!"

[Rocket jingling suspiciously]

Leo: Wait a second. Rocket doesn't think that's his grandma. He thinks it's someone pretending to be Grandma Rocket. Who do you think it is? Big Jet! You're right! He's trying to trick us again!

Big Jet: [Removes the clothes and he said that God shall smite the Fairy Tale wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!]

June: Look out, Rocket!

[Zoom; splat]

Annie: Whew! Big jet didn't get the soup!

June: He got something else.

Leo: It's a big pile of icky, gooey mud!

Quincy: He got Mud soup!

All: Eww! [laughing]

[Big Jet shaking, whirring angrily and flies back to his throne of Russia]

Quincy: Yay! He's giving up and flying, far, far away!

[Grandma Rocket jingling]

Annie: I hear Grandma Rocket.

Leo: Where's Grandma Rocket? Yes. There she is. In the rocking chair.

[Rocket jingles]

Quincy: Rocket is so excited to see her.

[Grandma Rocket jingles]

Leo: Grandma Rocket is excited to see you too, Rocket.

Annie: Grandma Rocket, Rocket made you a big bowl of Rocket soup to help you feel better. Go ahead.

Quincy: Try it, Grandma Rocket.

Leo: Yeah, have a taste.

[Sipping]

[Grandma Rocket jingling happily]

Leo: Do you think Grandma Rocket like the soup? Yes! She loves it!

Quincy: Yay! Rocket's soup worked!

[Grandma Rocket jingling]

Annie: Aw. She's thanking Rocket for making her feel all better.

[smooch]

June: She's giving him a kiss.

Leo: Mission completion!
