Kai-Lan's Royal Adventures
Season 2, Episode 6
"It's Gettin' Cold in Here"
[The episode begins in the palace playroom, where Tolee and Rintoo, laughing hysterically as they look at some very funny videos.]
Rintoo: Hey, hey, check this one out.
[The video they are looking at involves a baby duck who somehow finds his way out of the pond, and takes a bite out of a cake from the snack shack.]
[Rintoo and Tolee laugh once again.]
Rintoo: How does he do that?
Tolee: I have no idea, but it is hilarious. You can actually see the frosting on his lips.
Rintoo: [laughs louder] I know, I can't believe he did that! I don't know if that's possible.
[Kai-Lan and Hoho walk into the room.]
Kai-Lan: Hey guys, whatcha up to?
Tolee: Oh nothing, except that we were watching this video, and this baby duck came out of the water, and took a bite into a cake.
Hoho: No way, I wanna see.
Tolee: Well, here it is.
[Tolee replays the video.]
Rintoo: Wait for it, wait for it! And...BAM!!
[Rintoo and Hoho laugh again. This time, Kai-Lan and Hoho join in.]
Hoho: No...way!
Rintoo: Way! And the best part is you can really have a ball with it. I tell ya, if I saw that duck today, you know what I would say to him?
Kai-Lan: What?
Rintoo: That I wish he would bring us some cake.
[Everyone laughs.]
Rintoo: I'm not kidding. I would love it if that duck brought us some cake.
Hoho: Yeah, Rintoo's right. That duck needs to bring some cake.
Kai-Lan: Now hold on now, you two. If the duck could bring something that he might be famous for, then I don't know what to say.
Tolee: Me neither. I mean, what will happen if a cake just came out of nowhere?
[The doorbell rings.]
Hoho: Well, we just have to see to find out.
[The gang heads to the door. On the doorstep they see a cake, with a note that says "Please enjoy this cake."]
Rintoo: Well, looks like my dream came true. And it looks like we'll be pigging out on some cake.
Kai-Lan: I wasn't sure it was gonna happen today, but I guess it happened. So I guess we enjoy this cake.
Hoho: [grabs a fork] You took the words right out of my mouth. And now I can say this: let's dig in!
[Everybody else picks up forks and grabs a slice of cake. The scene cuts to a few minutes later, where there's half a slice of cake left. Everyone is on the floor, after savoring the cake.]
Kai-Lan: Well, that was one good slice of cake.
Rintoo: You said it.
Hoho: I'm not even sure if I might eat dinner tonight. [burps] Excuse me. [laughs]
Tolee: Wherever that cake came from I'm glad it came over here. Otherwise I would have been right.
Rintoo: Don't think about it any longer, Tolee, because we might have to look for more cakes ever so often.
Kai-Lan: You said it.
[The doorbell rings again.]
Rintoo: Who could it be this time?
Kai-Lan: I don't know, but I can go look. [heads to the door]
[Kai-Lan opens the door and she sees a duck.]
Kai-Lan: Can I help you?
Duck: Yes. I can't believe that I'm standing at the castle of the famous Empress Kai-Lan.
Kai-Lan: Would this be your first visit to the castle?
Duck: Yes it is. My name is Wendell and I have wanted to meet you and the emperor since your coronation.
Kai-Lan: Well come with me and you'll see the rest of the castle for yourself.
Wendell: Okay. [grabs out a notebook] This is so good. I can't believe that I'm standing in royalty property. This is one I got to get down in the old notebook.
[The scene cuts to the living room.]
Rintoo: What do you guys think about this new shirt? It says "Have a Bit of Luck with a Tiger Near You".
Hoho: Sounds like it's a good punchline. Where'd you get it?
Rintoo: I think I bought it from a clothing store when I was on my last trip. The line sounded really funny that I had to buy it.
Tolee: I think that if anyone saw you wearing it, you would be very friendly.
Rintoo: That's what I'm hoping for.
Kai-Lan: [walks in the room with Wendell] Hey guys. I would like you to meet someone who has been wanting to meet us for a very long time. Guys, this is Wendell. Wendell, this is Tolee, he's the king and Hoho, who is the prince. And this right here, is the one and only, Emperor Rintoo.
Wendell: Wow, it's an honor to meet all of you. Especially you, oh mighty emperor. I have heard a lot about you. Like you swapped lives with famous race car driver Matt Vaughn. Did you enjoy the experience? Were you missing your job as an emperor?
Rintoo: Let's just say that I had a wonderful time driving a race car, but I was thinking about what was going on back at the palace. I didn't miss working at the palace one bit, and it was just for the day.
Wendell: Wow, that...sounds...awesome.
Rintoo: It was awesome.
Wendell: Were they any other amazing adventures you partakened in?
Rintoo: Well, I did become a part of making a marshmallow package for Nutbrown Hare Industries. Ever heard of it?
Wendell: Have I ever. I loved their marshmallows. Which pack did you help make?
Rintoo: The variety pack.
Wendell: That must explain why you're on the cover of the package.
Rintoo: [laughs] I kinda looked good in that picture. Don't you guys agree?
[Kai-Lan, Hoho, and Tolee try to voice their opinions, but end up shrugging their shoulders and mumuring at the same time.]
Rintoo: I don't understand anything you guys are saying.
Kai-Lan: Oh, we were saying that you look really looked good in that picture.
Rintoo: I knew you would say that.
Wendell: All of that for an emperor. You must live some life.
Rintoo: I sure do. And I have some good memories of it. Especially being the race car driver for the day. Hey Wendell, do you want to see something that is really interesting?
Wendell: Would I ever.
Rintoo: Then follow me.
[Rintoo and Wendell walk into the room right next to the playroom.]
Wendell: Gee, I wonder what's in here.
Rintoo: You'll see. Hey Wendell, what would you say if I told you that I have a very special surprise that you should really see?
Wendell: I would say yes.
Rintoo: Well, today is your lucky day, because...[hums fanfare] I have the largest collection of toy cars of anyone else.
Wendell: Whoa, this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. How many do you have?
Rintoo: I don't know. I think I might have stopped counting. Feel free to browse and pick whichever one is to your liking.
Wendell: Sweet.
[Wendell walks over to the shelf with the race cars.]
Rintoo: Oh, good choice. These are my most absolute favorite. Especially the one with the flames on there. Like those right there. They are so awesome.
Wendell: How do get these?
Rintoo: I collect them. Mostly I got them from the toy store, and some from out of town. Wanna see what I have?
Wendell: If it means that I might start a car collection, of course?
Rintoo: Alrighty. Here is the first car I ever got.
Wendell: It looks so old.
Rintoo: Well [laughs] I haven't had it that long. Just maybe a few years or so. However long it is.
Wendell: I wonder how you can get these babies.
Rintoo: Oh it's easy. You can find some of these at the toy store. I think this week they're giving away free toy cars. I go there every time this happens. Do you wanna join me and my friends and get some cars for yourself?
Wendell: Would I. Hey, before we go, do you and the empress wanna see my house? It's really awesome?
Rintoo: That depends, how awesome is it? Is it as awesome as this palace?
Wendell: You'll see.
[The scene cuts to Wendell's house, which is a dwelling with a very cold climate. The moment Kai-Lan and the gang get in, they start shivering.]
Kai-Lan: Is it this cold here all the time?
Wendell: Not really. Just when there is something big happening.
Tolee: W-what could be happening this week?
Rintoo: I think I may have told him about the free toy car giveaway. Maybe that's what's happening. Did I get that right, Wendell?
Wendell: That's right. The only thing I have noticed so far is the way the air conditioner reacts to whatever my family feels.
Rintoo: What kind of reactions does it take?
Wendell: You know, the basics. Happiness, sadness, anger. Whatever you could think of.
Rintoo: How do you know when it's gonna rain?
Wendell: Easy, when someone inside the house is sad or extremely upset, and when you see a rain cloud floating on top of their head, that's how we know when there is going to be a rainstorm.
Kai-Lan: That's...really interesting.
Wendell: I know right. Over here is my personal stash of snacks. I tend to keep them here because I have a very good sweet tooth, and because the others can get to them in a heartbeat.
Hoho: Speaking of in a heartbeat, I think three guys are showing up.
Wendell: Oh no. Quick, help me cover this up.
[Kai-Lan and friends run over to a sheet that Wendell is holding and covers up the chest.]
Duck #1: Hey Wendell. Who are your new friends?
Wendell: Oh, hey Terrence. In case you're wondering, these are royalty.
Duck #2: Wait a minute. I know who you guys are. You're the emperor and empress of China. [points to Hoho] and you must be the prince.
Hoho: That's right.
Duck #2: It's an honor to meet you all. I have been wanting to meet you for a long time, and now, I finally get that chance. How do you guys get this much recognition?
Kai-Lan: It just happens.
Rintoo: Plus we have a lot of friends that spread the word about us, so it's pretty much because of them.
Duck #1: Well, I guess you already met our little brother, Wendell.
Hoho: Wait a minute. Wendell's your...brother?
Duck #1: Exactly.
Wendell: [laughs nervously] I guess I forgot to mention I had brothers. I just didn't want you guys to get freaked out by how rough they are. Or by their size.
Kai-Lan: I see what you mean.
Duck #1: We're basically just a little more complex than Wendell here. He's what you might call a tab too...uprising.
Wendell: No I'm not. As a matter of fact, I can prove it to you guys right now. Wait until you see what I can do.
[Wendell walks over to a little chair with two balls.]
Wendell: Now watch this.
[Wendell grabs the balls and makes his way to a window, carefully dragging them by his hands.]
Hoho: That's it?
Wendell: Not yet. Now, check this one out.
[Wendell grabs one ball, throws the other one in the air and manages to catch it in his pants.]
Wendell: See. How hard is that? [throws the other one in his pants.] And that's how you catch little plastic balls in your pants.
[Kai-Lan and friends become amazed.]
Duck #1: Oh come on. That's basic strategy. Anyone can do that.
Wendell: Oh really. Do you think you guys can do a sommersault while singing?
Duck #2: We're not sure, little brother. We haven't had the chance to see if we can do it yet.
Kai-Lan: Um, I hate to interrupt the conversation, but we were on our way to a toy car convention.
Rintoo: Kai-Lan's right. And we don't wanna be late.
Duck #2: Oh, I see what you're talking about. By the name, I don't think we gave you guys our names.
Kai-Lan: No, I don't think so.
Duck #2: My name is Nathan, and this is my twin brother, Gregory.
Tolee: It's great to meet you both. I'm pretty sure Wendell has a lot to say about you.
Wendell: I sure do. As a matter of fact, I have a lot to say about these two that I decided to write it down.
Gregory: When did you do that?
Wendell: When you guys weren't around. I was saving it for a surprise, but I decided right now would be the best time.
Nathan: You better not read what I think you're about to read.
Wendell: Oh, I'm gonna. [clears throat] My older brothers are so mean that they have no idea when to stop being mean. In fact, there are practically so mean that they might need to take some anger management classes. Maybe that will straighten them up.
[Kai-Lan and her friends somehow laugh by what Wendell is saying. Nathan and Gregory however are red in their faces, meaning that they didn't like the story.]
Gregory: Wendell.
Wendell: Yes.
Gregory: I think that you and your friends need to leave.
Wendell: How come?
Nathan: Because what you said about us has gotten us to the point that we might need to crank up the feelings thermostat.
Rintoo: You gotta admit. He did make us laugh.
Gregory: Wrong. What he just did to us make us so mad that we might just wanna turn the AC up high.
[Gregory walks up to the thermostat, turning the air all the way to 50°.]
Nathan: Now we'll see who's mean.
Hoho: Guys, I don't think they were joking.
Tolee: You think. [shivers]
Rintoo: Wendell, this might be a good time to take back what you said.
Wendell: You're not kidding. I think that I might have caused things to go bad.
Kai-Lan: Why don't you try talking to them?
Wendell: Talking to them? It's not that easy.
Kai-Lan: How?
Wendell: They're what you call a stubborn bunch. If you try to say something to them, they won't care one bunch.
Tolee: Did you try telling them in ways they'll understand?
Wendell: Um, I'm not sure. But I can't think if they will care if I do tell them another way. Maybe I should try it.
Rintoo: Good, and make it fast, because the car swap is starting any minute.
Wendell: Okay, okay, just give me a few minutes to figure something out, and things should be back to normal.
[Wendell walks over to his big brothers' room, where he finds them wearing white fleece coats.]
Gregory: Oh look, it's the little brother who decided to put his older brothers on blast.
Nathan: What do you want, you little twerp? You came back to put us on blast again?
Wendell: No. I came here to tell you two to turn off the cold air.
Nathan: Oh really. What's gonna change our minds?
Wendell: This.
[Wendell pulls out a piece of paper.]
Gregory: I knew it. You're gonna rip on us again?
Wendell: Will you guys just listen for a second?
Nathan: [thinks for a second] Alright. But there better not be anything that we might regret.
Wendell: It's not. If you just get the message, maybe we can work something out. [clears throat] My brothers are the most wonderful brothers I've ever had, but they need to be alert of the things that could happen when they decide to get angry and not cause problems. Like for example, problems with the house. They may think that turning the personality temperature up on full blast is a good idea, but they're wrong. It will only lead to other problems. So I'm kindly asking you: Can you turn the air down? Please?
[The two boys think for a moment, and decide to turn the AC down.]
Nathan: Okay, you have 1 second to tell us why you wrote all that stuff about us.
Wendell: [sighs] Because you guys are always doing things that I can't even do. It's like I'm the understudy of your success.
Gregory: Well, what did you expect? You're the little brother. That's what little brothers become.
Wendell: I know, but I feel like I wanna do more than just be the understudy. I wanna do stuff that you guys do.
Nathan: Like what?
Wendell: For example, I want to try out one of your skateboards.
Gregory: Oh really. Well then, why don't you prove yourself worthy. Use mine.
[Wendell hops aboard Gregory's skateboard and skates along the huge hallway. Getting the boys amazed, he decides to arouse them with another one of his tricks.]
Wendell: Do you think you two would see this trick.
Nathan: Let us guess: You're gonna catch the balls in your pants again?
Wendell: That's right. Only this time, I'm gonna catch four balls in my pants instead of three. [starts juggling] Now prepare to be amazed. I am about to catch all of these balls into my pants right before your very eyes.
[Wendell throws each ball one at a time and prepares for the big moment as each one drops down in his pants. This puts the twins in amazement.]
Nathan: Amazing.
Gregory: How can we never managed to get excited about this before?
Wendell: I have no idea.
[Kai-Lan and the gang come into the room.]
Kai-Lan: Wendell, did you get them to turn the heat down?
Wendell: I sure did, and all I had to do was show them the kind of duck they want to see. And guess what else?
Rintoo: What?
Wendell: Since they were so kind of staying to see my awesome tricks, they decided that they wanted to come to the toy car trade with us.
Nathan: We did?
Wendell: You sure did. And it gonna start any minute. So we better get a move on.
[The kids move on while Nathan and Gregory think about what Wendell put them through.]
Gregory: Are you sure we should do this?
Nathan: It's what he wants, so why not.
Gregory: [sighs] Fine, but I better not say I don't like it, 'cause you know I will.
[The two leave the room. The scene then changes to the big toy car trade.]
Rintoo: Well guys, does this thing get better every year? Wait, don't answer that 'cause I already know the answer. It does.
Wendell: Rintoo, that was humorous. How do you even come up with these jokes?
Rintoo: They just come to me. Besides, I am the emperor.
Wendell: I know.
[The scene cuts to a booth with vintage toy vans of various delivery services.]
Clerk: Hello there, come and see the various toy delivery vans we have here. We got Pepsi, we got Frito-Lay, and we have Coca-Cola. Choose your favorite one and it's yours.
Wendell: Oh sweet, I always wanted one of these.
Clerk: Well, now you can. And I'll throw in this extra car for free.
Wendell: Sweet. I'll take the Frito-Lay truck.
Clerk: [hands the Frito-Lay truck to Wendell] Here you go.
Wendell: Thanks.
Hoho: Hey Wendell, do you think your brothers are enjoying this?
Wendell: I'm sure they're enjoying it in the way they know how.
[The scene cuts to where Gregory and Nathan are sitting on a bench.]
Nathan: This...sucks.
Gregory: I know, but you gotta admit it. Our little brother got the best of us. Plus, I managed to get some of these cars for free. Don't you just love it.
Nathan: [sighs] Someone send me away.
[The scene cuts back to the kids.]
Wendell: Well, whatever way they're celebrating it, I'm sure they'll thank me for this.
Rintoo: [laughs] I think they will. Hey look over there. Let's go.
[The kids run over to the next booth in their sight, while laughing. The camera then pans away from the fair and into the sky, fading to black.]
End of episode.

"It's Gettin' Cold in Here"
[The episode begins in the palace playroom, where Tolee and Rintoo, laughing hysterically as they look at some very funny videos.]
Rintoo: Hey, hey, check this one out.
[The video they are looking at involves a baby duck who somehow finds his way out of the pond, and takes a bite out of a cake from the snack shack.]
[Rintoo and Tolee laugh once again.]
Rintoo: How does he do that?
Tolee: I have no idea, but it is hilarious. You can actually see the frosting on his lips.
Rintoo: [laughs louder] I know, I can't believe he did that! I don't know if that's possible.
[Kai-Lan and Hoho walk into the room.]
Kai-Lan: Hey guys, whatcha up to?
Tolee: Oh nothing, except that we were watching this video, and this baby duck came out of the water, and took a bite into a cake.
Hoho: No way, I wanna see.
Tolee: Well, here it is.
[Tolee replays the video.]
Rintoo: Wait for it, wait for it! And...BAM!!
[Rintoo and Hoho laugh again. This time, Kai-Lan and Hoho join in.]
Hoho: No...way!
Rintoo: Way! And the best part is you can really have a ball with it. I tell ya, if I saw that duck today, you know what I would say to him?
Kai-Lan: What?
Rintoo: That I wish he would bring us some cake.
[Everyone laughs.]
Rintoo: I'm not kidding. I would love it if that duck brought us some cake.
Hoho: Yeah, Rintoo's right. That duck needs to bring some cake.
Kai-Lan: Now hold on now, you two. If the duck could bring something that he might be famous for, then I don't know what to say.
Tolee: Me neither. I mean, what will happen if a cake just came out of nowhere?
[The doorbell rings.]
Hoho: Well, we just have to see to find out.
[The gang heads to the door. On the doorstep they see a cake, with a note that says "Please enjoy this cake."]
Rintoo: Well, looks like my dream came true. And it looks like we'll be pigging out on some cake.
Kai-Lan: I wasn't sure it was gonna happen today, but I guess it happened. So I guess we enjoy this cake.
Hoho: [grabs a fork] You took the words right out of my mouth. And now I can say this: let's dig in!
[Everybody else picks up forks and grabs a slice of cake. The scene cuts to a few minutes later, where there's half a slice of cake left. Everyone is on the floor, after savoring the cake.]
Kai-Lan: Well, that was one good slice of cake.
Rintoo: You said it.
Hoho: I'm not even sure if I might eat dinner tonight. [burps] Excuse me. [laughs]
Tolee: Wherever that cake came from I'm glad it came over here. Otherwise I would have been right.
Rintoo: Don't think about it any longer, Tolee, because we might have to look for more cakes ever so often.
Kai-Lan: You said it.
[The doorbell rings again.]
Rintoo: Who could it be this time?
Kai-Lan: I don't know, but I can go look. [heads to the door]
[Kai-Lan opens the door and she sees a duck.]
Kai-Lan: Can I help you?
Duck: Yes. I can't believe that I'm standing at the castle of the famous Empress Kai-Lan.
Kai-Lan: Would this be your first visit to the castle?
Duck: Yes it is. My name is Wendell and I have wanted to meet you and the emperor since your coronation.
Kai-Lan: Well come with me and you'll see the rest of the castle for yourself.
Wendell: Okay. [grabs out a notebook] This is so good. I can't believe that I'm standing in royalty property. This is one I got to get down in the old notebook.
[The scene cuts to the living room.]
Rintoo: What do you guys think about this new shirt? It says "Have a Bit of Luck with a Tiger Near You".
Hoho: Sounds like it's a good punchline. Where'd you get it?
Rintoo: I think I bought it from a clothing store when I was on my last trip. The line sounded really funny that I had to buy it.
Tolee: I think that if anyone saw you wearing it, you would be very friendly.
Rintoo: That's what I'm hoping for.
Kai-Lan: [walks in the room with Wendell] Hey guys. I would like you to meet someone who has been wanting to meet us for a very long time. Guys, this is Wendell. Wendell, this is Tolee, he's the king and Hoho, who is the prince. And this right here, is the one and only, Emperor Rintoo.
Wendell: Wow, it's an honor to meet all of you. Especially you, oh mighty emperor. I have heard a lot about you. Like you swapped lives with famous race car driver Matt Vaughn. Did you enjoy the experience? Were you missing your job as an emperor?

[Rintoo and Wendell walk into the room right next to the playroom.]
Wendell: Gee, I wonder what's in here.
Rintoo: You'll see. Hey Wendell, what would you say if I told you that I have a very special surprise that you should really see?
Wendell: I would say yes.
Rintoo: Well, today is your lucky day, because...[hums fanfare] I have the largest collection of toy cars of anyone else.
Wendell: Whoa, this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. How many do you have?
Rintoo: I don't know. I think I might have stopped counting. Feel free to browse and pick whichever one is to your liking.

Rintoo: Alrighty. Here is the first car I ever got.
Wendell: It looks so old.
Rintoo: Well [laughs] I haven't had it that long. Just maybe a few years or so. However long it is.
Wendell: I wonder how you can get these babies.
Rintoo: Oh it's easy. You can find some of these at the toy store. I think this week they're giving away free toy cars. I go there every time this happens. Do you wanna join me and my friends and get some cars for yourself?
Wendell: Would I. Hey, before we go, do you and the empress wanna see my house? It's really awesome?
Rintoo: That depends, how awesome is it? Is it as awesome as this palace?
Wendell: You'll see.
[The scene cuts to Wendell's house, which is a dwelling with a very cold climate. The moment Kai-Lan and the gang get in, they start shivering.]

Wendell: That's right. The only thing I have noticed so far is the way the air conditioner reacts to whatever my family feels.
Rintoo: What kind of reactions does it take?
Wendell: You know, the basics. Happiness, sadness, anger. Whatever you could think of.
Rintoo: How do you know when it's gonna rain?
Wendell: Easy, when someone inside the house is sad or extremely upset, and when you see a rain cloud floating on top of their head, that's how we know when there is going to be a rainstorm.
Kai-Lan: That's...really interesting.
Wendell: I know right. Over here is my personal stash of snacks. I tend to keep them here because I have a very good sweet tooth, and because the others can get to them in a heartbeat.
Hoho: Speaking of in a heartbeat, I think three guys are showing up.
Wendell: Oh no. Quick, help me cover this up.
[Kai-Lan and friends run over to a sheet that Wendell is holding and covers up the chest.]
Duck #1: Hey Wendell. Who are your new friends?
Wendell: Oh, hey Terrence. In case you're wondering, these are royalty.
Duck #2: Wait a minute. I know who you guys are. You're the emperor and empress of China. [points to Hoho] and you must be the prince.
Hoho: That's right.
Duck #2: It's an honor to meet you all. I have been wanting to meet you for a long time, and now, I finally get that chance. How do you guys get this much recognition?
Kai-Lan: It just happens.
Rintoo: Plus we have a lot of friends that spread the word about us, so it's pretty much because of them.
Duck #1: Well, I guess you already met our little brother, Wendell.
Hoho: Wait a minute. Wendell's your...brother?
Duck #1: Exactly.
Wendell: [laughs nervously] I guess I forgot to mention I had brothers. I just didn't want you guys to get freaked out by how rough they are. Or by their size.
Kai-Lan: I see what you mean.
Duck #1: We're basically just a little more complex than Wendell here. He's what you might call a tab too...uprising.

[Wendell grabs the balls and makes his way to a window, carefully dragging them by his hands.]

Wendell: Not yet. Now, check this one out.
[Wendell grabs one ball, throws the other one in the air and manages to catch it in his pants.]
Wendell: See. How hard is that? [throws the other one in his pants.] And that's how you catch little plastic balls in your pants.
[Kai-Lan and friends become amazed.]
Duck #1: Oh come on. That's basic strategy. Anyone can do that.
Wendell: Oh really. Do you think you guys can do a sommersault while singing?
Duck #2: We're not sure, little brother. We haven't had the chance to see if we can do it yet.
Kai-Lan: Um, I hate to interrupt the conversation, but we were on our way to a toy car convention.
Rintoo: Kai-Lan's right. And we don't wanna be late.
Duck #2: Oh, I see what you're talking about. By the name, I don't think we gave you guys our names.
Kai-Lan: No, I don't think so.
Duck #2: My name is Nathan, and this is my twin brother, Gregory.
Tolee: It's great to meet you both. I'm pretty sure Wendell has a lot to say about you.
Wendell: I sure do. As a matter of fact, I have a lot to say about these two that I decided to write it down.
Gregory: When did you do that?
Wendell: When you guys weren't around. I was saving it for a surprise, but I decided right now would be the best time.
Nathan: You better not read what I think you're about to read.
Wendell: Oh, I'm gonna. [clears throat] My older brothers are so mean that they have no idea when to stop being mean. In fact, there are practically so mean that they might need to take some anger management classes. Maybe that will straighten them up.
[Kai-Lan and her friends somehow laugh by what Wendell is saying. Nathan and Gregory however are red in their faces, meaning that they didn't like the story.]
Gregory: Wendell.
Wendell: Yes.
Gregory: I think that you and your friends need to leave.
Wendell: How come?
Nathan: Because what you said about us has gotten us to the point that we might need to crank up the feelings thermostat.
Rintoo: You gotta admit. He did make us laugh.
Gregory: Wrong. What he just did to us make us so mad that we might just wanna turn the AC up high.
[Gregory walks up to the thermostat, turning the air all the way to 50°.]
Nathan: Now we'll see who's mean.
Hoho: Guys, I don't think they were joking.
Tolee: You think. [shivers]
Rintoo: Wendell, this might be a good time to take back what you said.
Wendell: You're not kidding. I think that I might have caused things to go bad.
Kai-Lan: Why don't you try talking to them?
Wendell: Talking to them? It's not that easy.
Kai-Lan: How?
Wendell: They're what you call a stubborn bunch. If you try to say something to them, they won't care one bunch.
Tolee: Did you try telling them in ways they'll understand?
Wendell: Um, I'm not sure. But I can't think if they will care if I do tell them another way. Maybe I should try it.
Rintoo: Good, and make it fast, because the car swap is starting any minute.
Wendell: Okay, okay, just give me a few minutes to figure something out, and things should be back to normal.
[Wendell walks over to his big brothers' room, where he finds them wearing white fleece coats.]
Gregory: Oh look, it's the little brother who decided to put his older brothers on blast.
Nathan: What do you want, you little twerp? You came back to put us on blast again?
Wendell: No. I came here to tell you two to turn off the cold air.
Nathan: Oh really. What's gonna change our minds?
Wendell: This.
[Wendell pulls out a piece of paper.]
Gregory: I knew it. You're gonna rip on us again?
Wendell: Will you guys just listen for a second?
Nathan: [thinks for a second] Alright. But there better not be anything that we might regret.
Wendell: It's not. If you just get the message, maybe we can work something out. [clears throat] My brothers are the most wonderful brothers I've ever had, but they need to be alert of the things that could happen when they decide to get angry and not cause problems. Like for example, problems with the house. They may think that turning the personality temperature up on full blast is a good idea, but they're wrong. It will only lead to other problems. So I'm kindly asking you: Can you turn the air down? Please?
[The two boys think for a moment, and decide to turn the AC down.]
Nathan: Okay, you have 1 second to tell us why you wrote all that stuff about us.
Wendell: [sighs] Because you guys are always doing things that I can't even do. It's like I'm the understudy of your success.
Gregory: Well, what did you expect? You're the little brother. That's what little brothers become.
Wendell: I know, but I feel like I wanna do more than just be the understudy. I wanna do stuff that you guys do.
Nathan: Like what?
Wendell: For example, I want to try out one of your skateboards.
Gregory: Oh really. Well then, why don't you prove yourself worthy. Use mine.
[Wendell hops aboard Gregory's skateboard and skates along the huge hallway. Getting the boys amazed, he decides to arouse them with another one of his tricks.]
Wendell: Do you think you two would see this trick.
Nathan: Let us guess: You're gonna catch the balls in your pants again?
Wendell: That's right. Only this time, I'm gonna catch four balls in my pants instead of three. [starts juggling] Now prepare to be amazed. I am about to catch all of these balls into my pants right before your very eyes.
[Wendell throws each ball one at a time and prepares for the big moment as each one drops down in his pants. This puts the twins in amazement.]
Nathan: Amazing.
Gregory: How can we never managed to get excited about this before?
Wendell: I have no idea.
[Kai-Lan and the gang come into the room.]
Kai-Lan: Wendell, did you get them to turn the heat down?
Wendell: I sure did, and all I had to do was show them the kind of duck they want to see. And guess what else?
Rintoo: What?
Wendell: Since they were so kind of staying to see my awesome tricks, they decided that they wanted to come to the toy car trade with us.
Nathan: We did?
Wendell: You sure did. And it gonna start any minute. So we better get a move on.
[The kids move on while Nathan and Gregory think about what Wendell put them through.]
Gregory: Are you sure we should do this?
Nathan: It's what he wants, so why not.
Gregory: [sighs] Fine, but I better not say I don't like it, 'cause you know I will.
[The two leave the room. The scene then changes to the big toy car trade.]
Rintoo: Well guys, does this thing get better every year? Wait, don't answer that 'cause I already know the answer. It does.
Wendell: Rintoo, that was humorous. How do you even come up with these jokes?
Rintoo: They just come to me. Besides, I am the emperor.
Wendell: I know.
[The scene cuts to a booth with vintage toy vans of various delivery services.]
Clerk: Hello there, come and see the various toy delivery vans we have here. We got Pepsi, we got Frito-Lay, and we have Coca-Cola. Choose your favorite one and it's yours.
Wendell: Oh sweet, I always wanted one of these.
Clerk: Well, now you can. And I'll throw in this extra car for free.
Wendell: Sweet. I'll take the Frito-Lay truck.
Clerk: [hands the Frito-Lay truck to Wendell] Here you go.
Wendell: Thanks.
Hoho: Hey Wendell, do you think your brothers are enjoying this?
Wendell: I'm sure they're enjoying it in the way they know how.
[The scene cuts to where Gregory and Nathan are sitting on a bench.]
Nathan: This...sucks.
Gregory: I know, but you gotta admit it. Our little brother got the best of us. Plus, I managed to get some of these cars for free. Don't you just love it.
Nathan: [sighs] Someone send me away.
[The scene cuts back to the kids.]
Wendell: Well, whatever way they're celebrating it, I'm sure they'll thank me for this.
Rintoo: [laughs] I think they will. Hey look over there. Let's go.
[The kids run over to the next booth in their sight, while laughing. The camera then pans away from the fair and into the sky, fading to black.]
End of episode.
