Transcript

SPEAKER_13 0:06

Come on now. Hey everybody, it's Manny. Welcome back to My Boo Buddies. When the sun goes down, Boo Manor really wakes up. This evening I found a ghost feather on my pillow and then I heard three clear knocks on the attic window. Comet or ghost dog started glowing. So I know it isn't just the wind. Maybe something is trying to warn us. Or invite us. Grab your flashlight and join me. We're going upstairs to the spooky dark attic. Dulce, Carly, and Comet are already up there.

SPEAKER_03 0:56

Manny, did you hear that? The whole attic shivered. And look at this. Feathers and it's like a garbage trail.

SPEAKER_13 1:04

Also, Gat's fishing lines are gone. And this shiny spoon from the kitchen is here. And what's this wet stuffed squirrel toy?

SPEAKER_02 1:14

Confession time. I only took the squirrel chew toy. The shiny stuff, not me.

SPEAKER_05 1:21

A scavenger at work. The trail stops by that big beam.

unknown 1:26

Shh.

SPEAKER_05 1:28

I think we found the lair.

SPEAKER_03 1:33

Hello! If you're the shiny stuff thief, we just want to talk. There's a nest up there. It has a little sign. Wait, it says for the forgotten. Whoever you are, that's kind of beautiful.

SPEAKER_09 1:51

Children of the house, you have found my museum.

SPEAKER_13 1:57

Whoa! Talking crow?

SPEAKER_03 1:59

He's huge and shiny. Like a pirate captain in feathers.

SPEAKER_09 2:06

I'm Bukan, keeper of memory, guardian of history. I gather what the living overlook. I am also a member of the original tribe that lived here long, long, long ago. The Montaukets.

SPEAKER_02 2:27

Do you also gather snacks?

SPEAKER_09 2:29

I gather stories and warnings. History repeats itself. Listen! Before roads and rooftops, this island was balanced. Forests sang. Turtles nested. Nests were mended at dusk. The lotion life and the animals and plants were all in balance. Perfect cycle of life.

SPEAKER_05 2:51

My abuela told me about fishing at sunrise. She said the water used to be so clear.

SPEAKER_03 2:57

My mom said storms are stronger now. The beach keeps shrinking.

SPEAKER_09 3:00

Overdevelopment steals shelter from the animals. Pollution poisons the tide. Erosion eats the beach. Bite by bite.

SPEAKER_13 3:12

Is that why you're taking shiny things? Because they're trash?

SPEAKER_09 3:17

Some were lost. Some were tossed. I keep them to remember. What is lost stays lost. Unless remembered.

SPEAKER_05 3:29

We can help remember. We can put labels. We can tell the stories out loud.

SPEAKER_03 3:34

And we can clean the beach. Our class did it once.

SPEAKER_02 3:37

We filled five bags before lunch. I filled one with seaweed snacks. Turns out they were not snacks. They tasted terrible.

SPEAKER_09 3:55

Memory is not enough. Balance needs guardians. Will you help restore the balance of this island?

SPEAKER_13 4:04

I'll help, but you have to talk a little less mysterious. My brain gets tangled.

SPEAKER_09 4:09

Then Herod Plain. Care for the place that cares for you. If you take, give back. If you break, repair. If you forget, return.

SPEAKER_05 4:21

We can make a club, the food, manor, guardians!

SPEAKER_03 4:27

I'm in. First mission, return the shiny things that belong to people. Second, clean the path for the marsh.

SPEAKER_02 4:34

Third, snack break.

SPEAKER_09 4:36

Accept it. Begin what you have borrowed from your father.

SPEAKER_06 4:42

Oh yeah, Mijitos! Anybody seen my silver screwdriver? And my good fishing lines? And why is the attic humming like a refrigerator?

SPEAKER_13 4:56

We'll bring your stuff down, Dad! Also, the attic just likes to hum.

SPEAKER_06 5:03

Uh-huh. Bring it all down, please. And no one climb on the bees. Then mucho cuidado. Be very careful. Do you hear me?

SPEAKER_01 5:21

Good evening, young hosts. I heard the attic was entertaining distinguished company.

SPEAKER_03 5:27

Bootox! We're learning about the history of this island.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

Then remember, respect is not only for tables, it belongs to shorelines, trees, and nests. The cat and the tuxedo speaks true. Alas, duty calls. A napkin emergency in the pantry. Carry on, guardians.

SPEAKER_03 5:55

Um why is there a police car outside?

SPEAKER_05 5:58

That's Officer Chuck. Look, on some people think you're a monster crow. You should probably keep quiet for a minute.

SPEAKER_09 6:06

I will do caged for speaking truth.

SPEAKER_10 6:11

Citizens! Oh bit up! We have reports of a giant rogue bird stealing valuables last seen in this vicinity.

SPEAKER_13 6:22

Hi, Officer Chuck.

SPEAKER_11 6:24

Where were you on the night of Well, all the nights when shiny things went missing?

SPEAKER_05 6:31

Probably doing homework and also returning things, because we're responsible citizens.

SPEAKER_12 6:38

Uh-huh. My witness saw feathers. Big ones. Black as midnight. Now that's either a mutant raven or a suspicious Halloween decoration.

SPEAKER_03 6:53

I don't see any black feathers on this porch or inside.

SPEAKER_12 6:57

Stand back, kids. Cause I've got a humane bird cage and a professional hat. We'll tag it, bag it, and file the paperwork under mysterious.

SPEAKER_02 7:09

Paperwork? Yikes! Even I'm scared of paperwork.

SPEAKER_04 7:14

Oh, paperwork! Oh! It's a cage made of trees. Did you see that blur? Fukan just swooped! Officer Chuck, your net!

SPEAKER_12 7:25

Who put this net on my head?

SPEAKER_04 7:27

I can't see a thing! Run out a ten trick, Bukan! Wait, no, that's not helping! No, everybody's going to notice us!

SPEAKER_09 7:36

Nets belong on fish, not on truthseekers. Who said that?

SPEAKER_12 7:41

Identify yourself at once and return my net!

SPEAKER_13 7:44

Hey, okay. Let's de-escalate. Officer Chuck, we'll bring you your net. No giant ravens here. Promise.

SPEAKER_03 7:53

Then what keeps stealing spoons and shiny junk? A collector. For a good reason. We're curators, kind of.

SPEAKER_12 8:02

Hmm. Big word. Curator. I'll allow it for now. But if I see one more pile of shiny junk, I'm confiscating all of it. For justice.

SPEAKER_05 8:18

Wukon, I know you're protecting things, but that was a lot.

SPEAKER_09 8:24

Attention breaks sleep. Sometimes sleep must break.

SPEAKER_03 8:28

Okay, Wukon. We'll help your message get heard without any net dropping business. Yeah, we can make flyers for a beach cleanup.

SPEAKER_02 8:36

We can put snacks on the flyers to attract volunteers. Yow!

SPEAKER_05 8:41

Revolutionary strategy!

unknown 8:44

Woo!

SPEAKER_09 8:46

This is the way! Words on paper, feet on sand. Hands that carry, not age. This is the way.

SPEAKER_07 8:59

Oh yeah, kids! I am hearing funny voices! Everything okay up there?

SPEAKER_13 9:06

We're good, Dad. We're turning your tools and your fishing lines right now. And here's a flyer to help clean up the beach.

SPEAKER_07 9:14

Ah, thanks, Miko. Also, if you see any birds in the attic, uh just you know, open your window gently. No chasing. No, you'll give them a heart attack.

SPEAKER_05 9:29

Copy that. Gentle only. See you on the beach.

SPEAKER_07 9:33

Proud of you kids. Don't stay up too late.

SPEAKER_03 9:39

Bukan, you said what is lost stays lost unless remembered. How do we remember right?

SPEAKER_09 9:47

Speak the names. Tell the stories. Return what you can. Repair what you cannot. Guard the edges where the land meets the sea.

SPEAKER_05 9:59

We can make signs for the paths so people stay on it.

SPEAKER_13 10:02

That helps the dunes, right? And we'll bring trash cans where we walk. Bottle caps, wrappers, all the junk? Gone.

SPEAKER_02 10:11

I will sniff out every snack wrapper for justice. And snacks. Mostly justice. You are 90% stomach with snacks for brains.

SPEAKER_09 10:24

You are learning. Guardians indeed.

SPEAKER_13 10:30

Why does it feel like the house is holding its breath?

SPEAKER_05 10:34

Wukon's eyes look brighter. He's looking past us. Like he's counting something we can't see.

SPEAKER_09 10:41

We are not here yet.

SPEAKER_05 10:44

More must come. More who?

SPEAKER_03 10:48

More what? Are there other Boo buddies?

SPEAKER_09 10:52

The island remembers all its keepers.

SPEAKER_04 10:57

The attic light just flickered.

SPEAKER_13 11:00

That's never a good sign. BooCon. Is someone else coming to the attic?

SPEAKER_08 11:06

When the tide is right, when the wind points home.

SPEAKER_13 11:17

And on that note, it's time to say goodnight. Since BooCon speaks riddles, I got more questions than answers. Boo Kon said more must come. What or who must come? Does that mean more Boo Buddies or something else? Something more spooky? I guess tide or time will tell. Until next time.

SPEAKER_03 11:49

Let's play. Let's play.
