Wow. ELMO GIGGLES

What's all this?!

-It's a horse jumping fence.

-Yeah, yeah.

For the horse jumping tournament, Mr Dull.

What horse jumping tournament?

The Furchester Horse Jumping Tournament, of course!

It's today and it's starting soon!

THEY CHEER

Oh, is there never any peace and quiet around here?

Yee-haw!

HORSE SNORTS Ooh!

Ooh-oh-ah!

How marvellous!

Oh, you must be Mr Giddy-up here for the tournament.

Why, yes, I am!

We welcome you with furry arms.

You're a great jumper, Mr Giddy-up.

Aw, it's all because of this lucky horseshoe of mine.

Go on, take a look.

-Wow!

-Wow. Ah.

Careful there, young 'uns, I can't jump without it.

Oh, now where did I put that monkey wrench?

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo! Here.

Oh, hello, Mr Dull.

-Sorry, the lift's broken.

-Again?

Just a couple more tweaks. Um...

DRILLING AND BANGING

There we go. Ha-ha.

Oh. Oh, no, that's not very good, now, is it?

There we go.

Oh, yeah, nothing can stop me from jumping,

so long as I have my lucky horseshoe.

Well, here you go, Mr Giddy-up.

DONG!

-ALL:

-Yeah, dinnertime! Ha-ha-ooh!

-Oh, no!

-I'll say.

My lucky horseshoe, where is it?

It's behind these doors. Excuse me, Keith.

They're stuck, I'm afraid.

Oh, I've had that lucky horseshoe since I was a foal.

I can't jump without it.

Dad, you've got to get the doors open.

I will. It might take a while, though.

-But the tournament's beginning soon.

-Right.

Mr Giddy-up can't jump without his lucky horseshoe.

-That's right.

-Oh, it's a problem.

-It's a big problem.

-Worse than that...

it's a catastrophe!

DING DING DING

# It's more than just a slip up or a mess-up or a mishap

# A Furchester catastrophe we need to fix it fast-rophe

# Put it in the past-rophe This simply can not last-rophe

# A Furchester catastrophe The problem is so bad-strophe

# We're really flabbergast-rophe Let's ding the bell for blast-trophe

# Catastrophe catastrophe What a disas-trophe

# Catastrophe catastrophe We need to fix it fast-trophe

# Catastrophe catastrophe let's put it in the past-trophe

# It's a catastra what a disaster It's a catastrophe! #

Well, I guess I won't be jumping in

the horse jumping tournament after all.

-No.

-Wait! There's got to be a way.

Er...let's put our furry...

-And horsey.

-..heads together and think.

-All:

-Think!

What if we could find you something else that's lucky?

-Something else?

-Yes.

Something other than Mr Giddy-up's lucky horseshoe.

Well, I guess that could work,

but where are we supposed to find something lucky?

-You want something lucky?

-Mm-hm.

-Try lucky cookie!

-Lucky cookie?

-Yeah, here, let me show you how it work.

-First, me eat lucky cookie.

-Yeah.

Um-num! Um-num-num-num-num, num-um!

Now, me jump fence.

DRUM ROLL

Cowabunga!

Hi...ya! Uh.

Hi...Uh-oh!

OTHERS CHEER

-What me tell you? Lucky cookie works every time.

-Oh, swell.

-Have you got another lucky cookie I could try?

-Let's see.

Oh, boy. Sorry.

You out of luck, horsey. That me last lucky cookie.

-Oh!

-Oh, but don't worry.

There must be someone at the hotel who's got something lucky.

-Oh, maybe Mum could help us.

-Oh, yeah!

Attention, dear guests, we have a horse who need some luck.

Please bring all your lucky things to Phoebe Furchester-Fuzz

in the garden. I thank you.

OTHERS CHATTER EXCITEDLY

Hang on! My lucky pebble.

-Ah-ha-ha! Thank you.

-Great.

Well, there must be something here

to make you lucky, Giddy-up.

Oh, but which one should I try?

-My lucky pebble.

-My lucky button. My lucky button!

No, no, no!

My lucky boa always gives me luck.

Every time I wear it, a guest comes to the hotel and I jump for joy!

Ah-ha. What if Mr Giddy-up tries ALL the lucky things?

-Ooh!

-That's a great idea, Elmo.

Maybe the more lucky things you have, the luckier you'll be!

That makes total sense.

OK, I'll give it a try.

ALL CHATTER EXCITEDLY

I feel a little bit heavy.

Three, two, one!

Yee-haw!

Ooh, dear, that was a bit of a bump.

-My boa didn't help at all.

-Did I get over the fence?

Well, you didn't jump over the fence,

but you did jump over the lucky pebble.

-I did.

-Yeah!

And without my lucky horseshoe.

Ah, fuzzawubba!

Well, that gives me a monster idea.

You can jump.

-You just need to believe you can.

-That's right.

Now Mr Giddy-up can try something a little bigger.

-Yeah. And remember, you can keep telling yourself, "I can do it."

-OK.

-I can do it!

-Yeah.

HE SIGHS

You can do it, Mr Giddy-up.

Wow! Ha-ha.

-Good jump.

-Good jump.

-I can do it.

-Yeah, of course.

Ladies and gentle-monsters,

let The Furchester Horse Jumping Tournament commence!

TRUMPET TOOTS

Oh, Mr Giddy-up, that's the trumpet for the tournament.

-The other horses are here.

-Yeah.

-Oh.

-Oh!

Horseys, take your places, please.

It's starting. It's starting! Yay!

-Oh, hello.

-Yes, lovely.

Horse number one, ready, go!

Neigh!

You can do it!

Horse number two, ready, go!

Right, here we go. HE SNORTS

Yeah!

And they are now approaching the final fence. It's all to jump for.

-Ooh.

-Uh!

Golly, that's a big one.

Oh, they didn't jump.

No way I'm jumping over that!

HE SNORTS

It's all down to horse number three. Giddy-up, ready, GO!

Oh... Ooh.

No, I can do it!

HE SNORTS

-BOTH:

-Go, Giddy-up!

-Ha-ha-ha.

-Oh, yeah.

Oh.

I can do it!

-Yay!

-Come on.

I can do it!

He did it. Giddy-up is the winner. Yeah!

Oh, great, he did it.

THEY CHEER

Well done, Giddy-up.

Oh, yes, bravo, bravo. Well done, Giddy-up, old chap.

I finally got the lift doors open.

Here's your horseshoe, Mr Giddy-up. You can start the tournament now.

-We've already had the tournament, Dad.

-Yeah, Mr Giddy-up won.

-Yes.

-You don't need your horseshoe, then?

-I sure don't.

I just needed to believe in myself like Phoebe and Elmo told me.

Thanks, partners. I believe that lucky horseshoe should go to them.

Ah, really?

-Thank you, Mr Giddy-up!

-Sure.

I guess this is OUR lucky day.

THEY LAUGH

DING DING DING DING

-BOTH:
