Transcript

SPEAKER_07 0:06

Come on now. Hi everyone, it's Manny, and it's time for my boo buddies. In the last episode, Boo Kong, Crow, said more boo buddies are coming. I sure hope they are nice. But now, it's time to go to the beach! Sometimes I think I'm the luckiest kid ever because I get to live right next to a beach. And right now, my sister Dulce is calling me to fly her kites. Since it's extra windy today. So come and join me. Coming, Dulce Maria! The wind's perfect, Dulce. Kite's up in three, two, one.

SPEAKER_09 0:51

Manny, my butterfly kite can go faster than yours.

SPEAKER_07 0:54

Go, Mariposa Kite, go! Well, my dragon kite can go higher and faster than your married bosa kite. Hey, save a breeze for me. I brought my swing kite. Oh, hi Carly. So glad you can join us. Okay, now that we're all here, team kite. Let's make our kites dance! Higher?

SPEAKER_09 1:16

Higher?

SPEAKER_07 1:17

Don't let the tails touch.

SPEAKER_09 1:21

The wind just blew the garbage around. It just hit my face.

SPEAKER_07 1:25

You okay? What was it?

SPEAKER_09 1:28

A greasy wrapper left by people on our beautiful beach. Dulce, that's so nasty. People just leave trash on the beach. Look, there's litter everywhere. Cans, wrappers, plastic. We have to clean this beach. I'm in. Team cleanup!

SPEAKER_07 1:46

It's too much. We'll never finish.

SPEAKER_09 1:49

One piece at a time, little brother. Let's get started. We'll get recycling bags for mommy.

SPEAKER_07 1:57

Huh? Dulce, did you hear that? Hello? If someone's there, knock again.

SPEAKER_09 2:05

Knock, knock!

SPEAKER_07 2:08

Who's there?

SPEAKER_09 2:09

Boom!

SPEAKER_07 2:10

Boo-hoo!

SPEAKER_09 2:13

Boo Kuta! That's who not a boo-hoo! Don't cry!

SPEAKER_07 2:22

Hi Boo Kuta! Nice to meet you. I'm Maggie. This is my sister, Dulce Maria, and our friend Carly.

SPEAKER_09 2:30

Wait, are you a ghost turtle who tells jokes? That's it. You're officially my new favorite kind of boo buddy.

unknown 2:38

Ow!

SPEAKER_09 2:39

A joke-telling turtle? As long as none of your jokes are about cats, I'll allow this for now. Okay, Senor Tortuga, since you're new to the crew, wanna tell us who you are? Well, I'm here because this beach is my home. Long ago, I was a little tank turtle by a window. A boy about your age loved me. We watched the waves, told each other funny jokes, and played tricks on each other. I used to play hide and seek and hide in the rocks.

SPEAKER_07 3:14

Uh, why come to us today?

SPEAKER_09 3:17

The beach is too dirty, which is not good for those of us who live near the water. Sea turtles love to eat jellyfish. A plastic bag floating in the water looks exactly like a delicious wiggly jellyfish to a turtle. Ooh, that can't be good. Right! Because plastic doesn't break down in their tummy like food. It fills them up, making them feel full while they're actually starving. And tiny pieces of plastic look like fish eggs to seabirds, and plastic soda rings can look like squid. That's correct! So I came to help, plus I can practice a few jokes as we clean up.

SPEAKER_07 4:05

Deal. We can use all the hope we can get. There's a lot of trash out here, and hopefully your jokes are funny enough to make me forget how much work there is to do.

SPEAKER_09 4:19

Okay, blue bag here, trash here. Have cans with me. One two three. Knock, knock.

SPEAKER_07 4:36

Who's there?

SPEAKER_09 4:38

Can who? Can you put me in a recycling bin, please? Time to start boo-beach recycling. I'll label the bags. I'll set the recycle zone. Oh, I'll help too. I'll sniff each can and tell you which ones used to have tuna. Yum! Deal. But if you start licking the recycling gata, we're bathing you next. Well, princess cats do not do baths unless there are rose petals, fluffy towels, and I do get to keep my crown on.

SPEAKER_07 5:24

Hey! Comet, stop doing zooming. We're turning Blue Beach into a sandstorm.

SPEAKER_08 5:36

What? I was only on like medium zoom. This is not certified comet turbulence.

SPEAKER_09 5:42

Don't say I can't see. My face is getting a free exfoliation. Manny, comet's not even moving now.

SPEAKER_07 5:58

Okay, if it's not comet, then who's moving to sand?

SPEAKER_02 6:04

Ah, carat, young manny! This dust-up is entirely my doing. I bring dramatic entrance wins. And hello, boo kata. Welcome back to the shoreline, old friend.

SPEAKER_03 6:22

And I bring mammals. Apologies for the sad. I usually prefer a red carpet, not a grit carpet. Ah, boo kuta has arrived. Excellent. Every great operation needs a slow, steady turn. Maybe a not so funny one.

SPEAKER_08 6:41

Phew! See? Ghost Crow and Fancy Cat. I am officially cleared of all sand-related crimes.

SPEAKER_07 6:50

Boo Khan, Boo Talks. If you wanted to help with the beach cleanup, you could have just said hi. Not sandblast in our faces.

SPEAKER_02 7:04

Long ago, when I flew over this beach with the Montaukit people, they came here for fish and selfish and kept the sand clean and bright. Now, shall we start and help our beach shine like that again?

SPEAKER_03 7:21

Straight in your bags, everyone. If we're cleaning Boo Beach, we're doing it properly. Um preferably with less sand in my ears.

SPEAKER_07 7:34

Uh-oh! Here comes trouble.

SPEAKER_06 7:38

Stop! Kids! I'm Officer Chuck Venison!

SPEAKER_09 7:42

We know who you are, Officer Chuck.

SPEAKER_06 7:44

And I'm here on official beach business. Some suspicious paw prints have been sighted in this exact vicinity.

SPEAKER_09 7:52

Operation Invisible! It's turtle time!

SPEAKER_07 7:57

What paw prints, Officer Chuck?

SPEAKER_06 7:59

These paw prints don't lie. I will locate the creature, caution tape it, then caution tape the caution tape.

SPEAKER_09 8:10

Looks like Bukuda wants to play some tricks on Officer Chuck. Look over there! He just flipped a long seaweed strand into a wiggly warning snake!

SPEAKER_05 8:21

Yikes! Serpentine sea anomaly! Stand back, kids! Oh. Never mind. It's just some rubbery seaweed.

SPEAKER_09 8:30

He can't see Bukuda. Remember, grown-ups can't see the boo buddies. Officer Chuck, a hermit crab is walking across your clipboard.

SPEAKER_06 8:40

An accomplice in a portable house! You there! Identify yourself. Wait, what is this brown hard stuff I see?

SPEAKER_07 8:50

Look over there at the dune! Our invisible boo-kuta is laying a trail of fake poops made of rock. Shh shh.

SPEAKER_06 9:00

Hmm. Wait a minute. New droppers. Oddly lightweight. I'll just follow this poop trail all the way to the top of the dune.

SPEAKER_02 9:12

What is that trickster turtle up to now?

SPEAKER_03 9:16

Looks like Bukuta has found an old net, and he's dragging it all the way to the top of the dunes.

SPEAKER_09 9:22

Oh no! Officer Chuck's foot got stuck in the net. Hair's dangling off the side of the dunes.

SPEAKER_06 9:29

I'm all tangled up.

SPEAKER_07 9:31

Oh wow! Book-ta has pulled the net over Officer Chuck's head. Ah! I've fallen and I'm all tied up!

SPEAKER_05 9:41

Hmm. For the record, I enter this net voluntarily as a safety demonstration.

SPEAKER_01 9:51

Oh yeah! What's going on here, kids? Officer Chuck. Ay, este canijo. Don't worry, Officer Chuck. We'll get you out of that net. A ver. I got you. One, two, three. Lift! Ahí está.

SPEAKER_05 10:17

Thank you, Mr. Rosa. I shall now carry this very heavy net to the station as evidence and continue my extremely professional investigation.

SPEAKER_01 10:27

Okay, Officer Chuck. You do that. Now, children, be sure to thank the officer for looking out for us. Officer Chuck, I'll help you carry the net to your car.

SPEAKER_05 10:39

Remain vigilant. The paw prints never lie. Good day.

SPEAKER_09 10:46

Thank you, Officer Chuck. See you later. Back to Operation Beach Cleanup. Bootox, new bag, please.

SPEAKER_03 10:57

Straighten your back, Tops. A tidy station is an efficient station.

SPEAKER_07 11:03

This is working. The beach is already looking better. Let's race to finish the cleanup. Okay, Comet and Boo Kuta. Race you to bag up the most cans.

SPEAKER_08 11:17

You're on. Ready, set, go! First one to fill a bag is super helper. Last one has to do the silly turtle dance with Boopuda.

SPEAKER_07 11:27

Okay, let's get started. Three, two, one, sword!

SPEAKER_08 11:34

One can, two cans, five cans. Boo fast.

SPEAKER_09 11:43

Bragg it while you bag it. Okay, team. Who's got the most trash so far?

SPEAKER_08 11:51

I do. I built a mega mountain of cans. Listen. Oh boy!

SPEAKER_09 11:59

My mountain is attacking. Comet's cans are everywhere. Bukuda's bag is tilting, and Manny's bag is tied up tight.

SPEAKER_03 12:10

Official verdict tie. Because team rules say it only counts when it's bagged right.

SPEAKER_09 12:21

Co-champions. Acceptable. Now take my photo with the blue bag.

SPEAKER_00 12:34

How's our beach cleanup coming along? Are you ready for can pickup?

SPEAKER_07 12:38

Mammy and Papi came back to pick up our trash bags and take them to the recycling center.

SPEAKER_01 12:43

Oye niños! Wow! Guys, the beach is looking clean. I'm proud of you all.

SPEAKER_00 12:53

Hola niños! Listen to all that clinking. Sounds like you filled the bags with half the beach.

SPEAKER_07 13:00

We picked up so many cans and bottles. And one really weird flip flop. Yeah, Boop Beach is gonna shine after this.

SPEAKER_00 13:09

You should all be very proud. Okay, helpers. All the clean cans and bottles go into these blue bins in the back of the truck. I'll take them straight to the recycling center.

SPEAKER_09 13:20

What do they do with the trash at the recycling plant?

SPEAKER_00 13:23

There, big machines sort it, wash it, and smash it. Then it gets made into new things, like boxes, bottles, or toys. Maybe even skateboards or park benches. Who knows? Recycling helps trash come back again.

SPEAKER_09 13:39

Whoa! Trash that comes back as skateboards? That's my favorite kind of magic. If there's any magic left over, I will accept a recycled throne with armrests.

SPEAKER_08 13:54

Noted gotta throne made of trash.

SPEAKER_00 14:01

Alright, line up and pass those bags. I'll slide them in. Careful with the glass port, bavor.

SPEAKER_01 14:06

Hola me superheroes. While your mama handles the recycling, I bought something special. This is compost power.

SPEAKER_07 14:17

Compost power sounds like a superhero whose cake smells kind of funky.

SPEAKER_01 14:26

Honey! It smells like future gardens, mister. See what's in here? We've got fruit peels, veggie scraps, and a little yard stuff. When we mix that with things like seaweed from the beach and dried leaves, over time, it turns into rich soil. And that is called composting.

SPEAKER_09 14:48

So this bucket of squishy stuff is like future dirt?

SPEAKER_01 14:54

Exactly. Future dirt that helps new plants grow. But Mira! See this plastic? It doesn't turn into dirt. It just hangs around for a very, very long time. And it makes trouble.

SPEAKER_09 15:11

So the seaweed you pulled out of the water can go in your compost bucket?

SPEAKER_01 15:15

Some of it, see. We add a little at a time. Seaweed, veggie scraps, dry leaves, we mix it, we wait, and in a few months, it becomes super soil for the garden.

SPEAKER_09 15:27

Are trash turned into plant food? Okay, that is cooler than a video game.

SPEAKER_07 15:32

So, the beach gets cleaner, the garden gets happier, and we all help the planet at the same time?

SPEAKER_01 15:39

That's right, Mijito. You're not just picking up trash. You're taking care of this whole big world. Our home, one bucket at a time. And our compost has had its first taste of the beach. Next time we check out the garden, you'll see what your hard work can grow.

SPEAKER_07 16:00

I can't wait! Maybe our plants will be like super buff from all the seaweed. Mussel lettuce! Tomatoes with six packs! Thanks, Poppy! Now we know what we can do with all the seaweed on the beach.

SPEAKER_01 16:17

Hey, I'll see you back at the house. I'm going to make my super delicious spaghetti with all the tomatoes from the garden.

SPEAKER_08 16:30

Manny, just be sure to save one tomato for a ghost dog snack, okay?

SPEAKER_09 16:36

Yes. Now all we need is a recycled throne and maybe a compost-powered water fountain.

SPEAKER_07 16:45

Okay, Boo Beach is officially sparkly clean.

SPEAKER_09 16:50

We should give ourselves a round of applause before we all fall over. I am so tired. Yes, applause break goes.

SPEAKER_08 16:59

Woo! Beach Zoomies of Victory coming in three, two, no one! Okay, okay. Victory wiggle only. No sand tornadoes.

SPEAKER_09 17:15

Clean sand. It feels lovely on my feet.

SPEAKER_03 17:21

And it smells significantly less like mystery socks. I would call that a triumph.

SPEAKER_07 17:30

You know, now that it's clean, we should celebrate.

SPEAKER_03 17:33

A party? So I get an excuse to be overdressed and make finger sandwiches.

SPEAKER_07 17:39

It's time to plan a party. It sure is time for a party. Whoa!

SPEAKER_09 17:45

Look over there! It's a rainbow! Whoa, a huge, huge rainbow! Ho ho! Looks like Boo Dazzle's joining the party!

SPEAKER_07 17:57

Who's Boo Dazzle?

SPEAKER_09 17:59

Oh, she's a boo buddy! Just like us! And she always brings the party wherever she goes! She looks the part too. Oh, rainbow-colored, cute Pomeranian ghost dog.

SPEAKER_07 18:25

Today, we learned that recycling is awesome because it gives trash a new life. Bottles, cans, boxes, skateboards, boom! Second chances. And when something gets a second chance, we celebrate. Quick riddle before we go. Ready? What kind of party does the ocean love the most? A celebration on the beach. We'll see you at the boo beach celebration. High tides, good vibes, and no trash allowed. Bye bye.

SPEAKER_04 19:08

Let's play. Let's play.
