[edit]Seize the Cheese/Miss Question's Riddle Rampage [5.01]
[edit]- Claire: Theodore McCalister III, you promised me you would stop with this robot nonsense!
- Ms. Question: Looking for me, WordGirl?
- WordGirl: Ms. Question?!
- Ms. Question: Expecting someone else?
- WordGirl: Well, yes, actually. Tobey, you know, the kid who makes these robots.
- Ms. Question: Do you think Tobey is the only villain who can control his robots?
- WordGirl: What are you up to, Ms. Question?
- Ms. Question: Isn't it obvious? People want to cross the bridge, don't they, to get to the beach? And isn't this the perfect place to play a devious game I call riddle or stranded?
- WordGirl: Riddle or Stranded?
- Ms. Question: I'll ask each driver a riddle, and if they answer it correctly, they can go to the beach, but if they get wrong, they'll be stranded here on the bridge! Ha, ha? Ha, ha, ha? Say there, Citizen, want to cross the bridge?
- Citizen: Yes, please. I want to go to the beach.
- Ms. Question: Well, then let's play riddle or stranded. What has rings but no fingers?
- Citizen: I have no idea. What has rings but no fingers?
- Ms. Question: A telephone! It rings but has no fingers! Now guess who doesn't get to cross the bridge?
- Citizen: Me? But I'll be stranded here.
- Ms. Question: Hmm. And won't that be annoying?! Hey, Metal Face, what do we do to people who don't know the answer?
- WordGirl: Okay, Ms. Question. I've got the answer to your riddle.
- Ms. Question: Huh. You do? Care to lay it on me? Ha, ha? How much you want ro be she's wrong?
- WordGirl: Okay. What goes on 4 legs in the morning, 2 at noon, and 3 at night? The answer is a person! A baby crawls on 4 legs when they're small, and a person walks on two legs when they grow up. But when people get older, sometimes they use a cane, or third leg!
- Ms. Question: How could you have figure out the most difficult riddle? What is this world coming to?!
- WordGirl: A deal's a deal, Ms. Question. You've been defeated. Now give me my sidekick back.
- Ms. Question: Did you really think I would hold up my end of the bargain? Aren't I a villain? Isn't being devious and untrustworthy part of my job description?! So see you next time?
- WordGirl: I don't think so! Hyah!
- Ms. Question: Whoa! What is this?
- WordGirl: Come here, you!
- Ms. Question: Can you put me down?!
- WordGirl: Now who's stranded? Have fun waiting for the police! Come on, Huggy. We've got a beach to get to!

[edit]- [WordGirl and Huggy arrive back after defeating Tobey's robots]
- WordGirl: Great work, Captain Huggy Face!
- TJ: It was all his fault! I was trying to save you!
- Tobey: I didn't have anything to do with...
- Scoops: Please. I'm a journalist.
- TJ: How'd I do with the saving?
- WordGirl: Ahem. Well, boys, I think we all earned a valuable lesson here today, didn't we?
- Tobey: If you spin robots around, they get dizzy just like people. A definite flaw in my design, I agree.
- WordGirl: Must fix that. Uh, I was thinking more like don't waste squabbling over silly, unimportant things. Now why don't you all try something up for the contest? Writing about an experience is fine, but using your imagination can be equally amazing. And also, robots crimes are not okay!
- [Mrs. McCallister opens the library door angrily as she walks up to Tobey]
- Tobey: Oh. Ha, ha! Hello, Mother. You see, I was just entering a contest. [TJ runs off as Mrs. McCallister grabs Tobey] Ow, ow, ow, ow! [walking away with his mom] WordGirl, maybe we can still get sushi sometime-- [his mom pinches him in the ear] Ow! Ow! Mom! Ow!
- TJ: [arrives] So, uh, WordGirl-- WordGirl?
- [WordGirl gets ready to fly off with Huggy]
- Scoops: Where'd she go?!
