Episode Script[]
[The scene starts at a piazza in Cremona, Italy for a new surprise.]

June: We're here to see a Mommy Cello, whose about to have five new baby cellos!
[Mommy Cello playing "Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato"]
Quincy: Do you see a Mommy Cello? Yeah! That's her! See? She has a long neck, and strings, and a wooden bridge!
Mommy Cello: [Jingling "Hello, there!"]
Quincy: She's a cello, all right!
Annie: But where are the baby cellos?
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing]
[One by one the baby cellos hatch out of their cases]
June: Here comes one baby cello.
Annie: Two baby cellos.
Leo: Three baby cellos.
Quincy: Four baby cellos. I cannot believe it!
Leo: Aww, and look. They're all giving their mommy little cello kisses!
[Baby cellos smooching]
June: How sweet!
[Baby Cellos playing "Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato"]
[However, one case did not hatch]
Quincy: Hmm. Four baby cellos. Did all the baby cellos hatch out of their cases? No. There's one more baby cello waiting to hatch.
[Wobble; splash]
Leo: (Gasps) Oh, no! The last cello case fell into the Po River!
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing dramatically]
Annie: And now he's floating far, far away from his mommy!
June: How terrible!
Mommy Cello: [Jingling "You have to save my baby!"]
Quincy: Don't worry, Mommy Cello. The Little Einsteins will rescue your baby, I promise. But we're going to need your help. Will you help us bring the baby cello back to his mommy? Great!
[Baton jingles]
Leo: We've got a mission! We're going to find the baby cello and bring him back to his mommy. Let... the mission... begin!
[Door closes]
Leo: Buckle your seatbelts.
All except Leo: Seatbelts 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. 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!
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing]
Annie: Hold on tight, 'cause here we go!
All: Whoa!!
Leo: Whoo-hoo!
Quincy: All right!
Leo: We're off to find the baby cello and bring him back to his mommy!
[Cello playing "Symphony No. 8 Unfinished"]
Quincy: Listen. I hear the baby cello. Do you see the baby cello case? Yeah, there it is.
June: Hurry, Rocket! We've got to save him!
[Grab]
June: Yay!
Annie: Hooray!
Leo: Great job, Rocket.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing]
June: I hope he's okay.
[Wobbling]
Annie: Look, look, look! His case is wiggling.
Leo: He's getting ready to hatch!
[Pop]
Annie: Aww, he's so cute.
Baby cello: [Jingles "Mommy? Where are you?"]
Quincy: Poor little baby cello. He wants to know where his mommy is. Hey there, little guy.
[Baby Cello playing "Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato"]
Baby cello: [Jingles "Are you my mommy?"]
June: Listen. He's asking Quincy if he's his mommy.
Quincy: No, silly baby cello! I'm not your mommy, I'm a kid! Your mommy is a cello, and she has a long neck, just like you.
[Baby cello stretching out]
Quincy: That's right. Cellos have long necks.
Annie: Whoa! Where's he going?
June: He's going to look for his mommy.
Leo: Come on, team. We've got to help baby cello find his way back to his mommy.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing]
Annie: Wait for us, baby cello!
June: Uh-oh. I wonder which way we go now.
[Baby Cello singing "Symphony Number 8 Unfinished"]
Quincy: Listen. Baby Cello is trying to call to his mommy.
Annie: Baby cello, I can help you call to her. [inhales] ♪I am a Cello, 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. We need to follow the road that goes through the zoo.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing]
June: Ooh, look at all the animals.
Annie: Baby cello is so excited.
Leo: He thinks he found his mommy in the zoo.
Quincy: Oh, yeah. Baby Cello is looking for a mommy with a long neck. Which animal at the zoo has a long neck? The giraffe, right.
Annie: Is baby cello's mommy a giraffe? No.
Quincy: Baby Cello. That giraffe does have a long neck, but she's not your mommy. But, don't worry. I'm going to help you find her, baby cello. I promise.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato"" playing]
[Gate slams]
June: Uh-oh. The gates are locked shut.
Annie: Now we can't get through the zoo.
Leo: We need to find a key to open up the gates. Everyone, start looking.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing briefly]
Quincy: Do you see the key? Yes. You found it. It's around the giraffe's neck.
June: But the giraffe is so tall. How are we going to reach all the way up to her neck to get the key?
Annie: Look! Baby cello is going to try to use that ladder to reach the key.
Quincy: Smart thinking, baby cello.
June: Uh-oh, the ladder's too small. Baby cello can't reach the key.
[Ladder playing "Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato"]
Leo: Listen. This is a musical ladder. 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. Will you conduct with me? Great! Great your baton ready!
[Baton tapping]
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing quietly]
Leo: Now put your hands down really low and slowly raise them up higher to tell the music to get louder. A little louder.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing a little louder]
June: It's working. The ladder's music is getting louder.
Quincy: But the ladder still isn't tall enough to reach the key.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing louder]
Leo: Conduct the music to get even louder. Stand up and reach your hands as high as you can. Crescendo!!
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing louder, ladder creaks]
All right!!! Baby cello can reach the key!
Quincy: Whoo-hoo!
Annie: Way to go!
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing briefly]
June: Fantastic.
Annie: Baby cello opened the gate. Come on, baby cello. Let's call to your mommy. [inhales] ♪I am a Cello, 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 closer to your mommy, baby cello. Just remember, your mommy is a cello. She has a long neck and she has strings just like you.
Leo: Come on, Little Einsteins, this way.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing]
June: Hey, wait! Baby Cello is going inside that pasta restaurant.
Annie: He think he found his mommy.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing briefly]
Leo: I don't see baby cello anywhere.
Quincy: I know. He must be looking for a mommy that has long strings. Which one of these foods is long and stringy? The spaghetti noodle. Yes.
Leo: Baby cello thinks his mommy is spaghetti.
Quincy: Is spaghetti baby cello's mommy? No. Silly baby cello! Spaghetti is long and stringy, but spaghetti isn't your mommy. Come on, baby cello. This way.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing franticly]
Annie: Uh-oh. That spaghetti machine can't stop making spaghetti!
June: It's going berserk.
Quincy: Whew. That was close.
Rocket: [Jingling "Help!"]
Leo: Uh-oh. I think one of our friends got stuck in the spaghetti. Who got stuck in the spaghetti?
All: Rocket!
Annie: Rocket, are you okay?
Rocket: [Jingles, saying "I'm okay, but I'm stuck!"]
Leo: He's okay, but he's stuck in all that spaghetti. He can't get out!
Baby Cello: [Jingles "We have to untangle the spaghetti!"]
Quincy: Great idea, baby cello. We can pull the spaghetti to get Rocket untangled.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing slowly]
June: But we need to pull smoothly, legato, so the spaghetti doesn't break. Let's do a smooth and steady spaghetti dance. Do it with me. Put your arms out in front of you and smoothly pull the spaghetti with one hand and then the other hand. That's it. One hand, then the other hand. Pull legato so the the spaghetti doesn't break. Legato. Legato.
[Rocket is free]
June: We did it! Great dancing.
Rocket: [Jingles, saying "Thanks for untangled me, team and baby cello!"]
Annie: Come on, baby cello. Let's call to your mommy. [inhales] ♪I am a Cello, 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.
Baby Cello: [Jingles "She does?"]
Quincy: That's right. Cellos have a wooden bridge. Baby cello, wait for us!
Annie: Look. Baby cello thinks that wooden bridge is his mommy.
Quincy: Is that bridge baby cello's mommy? No, silly cello. That wooden bridge isn't your mommy.
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing dramatically]
Leo: Uh-oh. That's not just any bridge. It's a drawbridge!
June: And it's opening up for that big, giant boat.
Quincy: Baby cello, watch out!
[Thump]
Quincy: Oh, no! Baby cello fell into the big, giant boat.
Annie: And it's taking baby cello out to sea! STOOOOOP!
June: Come back, giant boat!
Leo: It's no use. The boat can't hear us.
Annie: Poor baby cello. How will he get to his mommy now?
Quincy: I've got to help him. Maybe the boat will hear me if I play my violin just like the boat's horn. Loud and strong. Sforzando!
[Playing violin loudly]
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. Ready? Say, sforzando. Sforzando! Good. Now hold up your violin and how the strings loud and strong. Like this.
[Playing violin loudly]
Quincy: Awesome. Now say sforzando. And play your violin with me. Sforzando. Sforzando. Sforzando.
[Playing violin loudly]
June: The big giant boat heard you.
Leo: It worked. The boat is bringing baby cello back.
June: Hooray!
Annie: Yay!
Quincy: Thanks for playing sforzando with me. You were amazing.
Leo: Yay, baby cello.
Annie: You're back.
Quincy: I'm glad you're ok, baby cello.
Baby Cello: [Jingling miserably]
Annie: Aww. Poor baby cello. He really wishes he could find his mommy.
[Music playing in distance]
Rocket: [Jingles, saying "Hey, I hear something!"]
Annie: You guys. Rocket hears something.
Leo: Whoa, look. All of the musical instruments are at the piazza.
June: And they're looking for Baby Cello!
Quincy: Baby Cello, your mommy must be at the piazza, too! She's a musical instrument.
Baby Cello: [Jingles "She is?"]
Quincy: That's right. Your mommy has a long neck, and strings, and has a wooden bridge, and she's a musical instrument! Just like you!
Baby Cello: [Jingles "We have to hurry!"]
Quincy: Don't worry, baby cello. Rocket can get you to the piazza super fast.
Leo: Come on, team. We're going have to fly Rocket as fast as he can go: super fast! Will you help me fly Rocket super fast? Great! Super fast!
All except Leo: Super fast!
[Backup booster deploying]
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing slowly]
Leo: To get to super fast, we have to start at adagio.
[Beep]
Leo: Pat the beat on your lap slowly.
[Beep]
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing a little faster]
Leo: Moderato. Now pat the beat on your tummy a little faster.
[Beep]
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing faster]
Leo: Allegro! Now pat the beat on your shoulders even faster.
[Beep]
["Symphony No. 8 in B minor, Unfinished, 1st Movement: Allegro moderato" playing even faster]
Leo: Presto! Now reach your arms to the sky and shake your whole body! We did it! We're flying super fast!!
Quincy: Here's the piazza!
June: We made it! Yay!
[They land]
Quincy: Whoa! Look at all these instruments.
June: I wonder how they're going to find Mommy Cello.
[Mommy Cello appears with the other baby cellos]
Leo: Look, here comes someone. She has a long neck,
June: And strings,
Annie: And a wooden bridge,
Quincy: And she's a musical instrument. Who do you think it is? It's Mommy Cello! Yes!
[Baby Cello smooching]
All: Hooray! Yay!
Annie: Baby cello is finally getting to kiss his mommy.
[Instruments playing happily]
