Builders Nuzzle and Scratch: Frock and Roll

# Here we are - Nuzzle and Scratch

# Best by far - Nuzzle and Scratch

# We're alpacas from the Andes

# With hooves instead of handies

# No two others can match Nuzzle and Scratch

# Nuzzle and Scratch! #

GIGGLING

You look just like one of the twins, Scratch.

Thank you, Nuzzle. Those ribbons make you look like one of the twins, too.

I wonder if Captain Cracker will fall for it.

Let's find out.

Oh, Captain, the twins are here.

What, the twins?

Oh, er, ha-ha. Hello, twins. Erm, you're early

and I don't have your costumes ready yet.

That's not good enough, Captain Nutcracker.

Yes, we demand a plate of sponge fingers.

Ah, sponge fingers, yes. Ah, here we go.

Hoof yourselves.

Hooves? Hoovies?

Hold on a minute. The twins don't have hooves.

Got you!

-You thought we were the twins.

-No, no, I knew it was you all along.

Ah, well then you won't mind us finishing off these sponge fingers.

-Yes.

-Oh, all right, all right.

Look, the tw... The twins really will be here in a minute...

-and today, they want to dress up as builders.

-Oh!

-I like builders.

-They've got pretty hair.

And puffy skirts.

And little pointy shoes.

Yeah, you don't actually know what builders costumes look like, do you?

No, no.

There we go. Right, builders.

Oh...

BANG!

Ooh.

I wish I could be a builder.

I'm the fancy dress genie. Your wish is my command.

Oh, brilliant.

I want a builders hat and dungarees, please.

Coming right up.

THEY GIGGLE

Hang on! Not bees, dungarees.

Oh! Oh, dear. Had a bit of a genie jam there.

Let's try again. One builder's costume coming right up.

Oh! Hard hats.

Much better. Thanks.

And how about a safety waistcoat and some tools?

Nice hammer.

Wow, tools! To mend stuff and build stuff at home.

Now you're a builder.

Builders are good at building all sorts of things.

-Hey, Mr Genie.

-Oh, sorry. There you are.

A fancy dress costume for a fancy dress party.

Ah, the twins will love being builders.

Ooh, yeah they will.

Yes, well you two go and find the costumes and I'll open up the shop.

-OK, Captain.

-See you later.

# Dressing up is fun You could be anyone

-# A monkey

-Or a queen

# Every costume you can dream

# Everybody knows That wearing different clothes is fun

# Dressing up is fun. #

-Boo!

THEY GIGGLE

BOTH: We're builders!

-Oh, look at all the tools in here.

-Cool. And hats, too.

-Have you found those costumes yet?

-Yes, Captain.

Good, the twins will be here soon.

Right. Oh, crumbs.

Problem, Captain?

I'll say there is. The holds empty, lads.

-We're fresh out of sponge fingers.

-BOTH: No sponge fingers?!

Yes, and you know how I like my sponge fingers with my tea.

Ooh, why don't you two sail out to the sponge finger shop?

Get some fresh supplies.

-Aye, aye, Captain.

-We're on our way.

BELL CHIMES

Ooh! Oh, I say.

Hold... If you, er...

SIGHS

Ah, well. Two alpacas dressed as builders gone to buy sponge fingers,

ha-ha, I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Sponge fingers, sponge fingers, we're off to the finger shop.

Mustn't linger, mustn't stop, it is the sponge finger shop!

THEY LAUGH

-Oh! Oh, look.

-What?

-That's Mrs Busy Bee, isn't it?

Oh, yeah. Looks like she needs help lifting those heavy bags.

-Well, after you, builder Scratch.

-Why, thank you, builder Nuzzle.

SCRATCH GIGGLES Building.

Hello, Mrs Busy Flea, we've come to help you.

Yeah, we're builders.

You were supposed to be here 30 minutes ago. I've got things to do!

Hold on. Nuzzle and Scratch. I didn't know you were builders.

We're the best builders ever.

That's handy cos I need a wall built around my front garden today.

-We can build you a wall.

-We can...

-Huh? We can?

-We can.

Marvellous. Now, can't stop, things to do.

-Oh, one tiny thing...

-Yes.

How exactly do you build a wall?

Didn't they teach you at builder's school?

What? Builders what?

First you mix your sand, cement and water together in the mixer

like this.

-OK, sand...

-She's using a spade.

-She is.

Wow, into that giant washing machine thing.

-Yeah.

-Cool.

Cement...

-Water.

-Water. He-he-he-he.

Cool.

THEY MUMBLE

NUZZLE GIGGLES

Dizzy, whoa.

SCRATCH GROWLS THEN SPITS

Wow!

-Ooh! Yeah.

-Then you lay the mixture on to the bricks, like this...

Like making sandwiches.

Then you place the bricks in a straight line, like this...

-Any questions?

-Yes.

What's your favourite colour?

Oh, I don't have time for a favourite colour.

These bags of cement are in the way so your first job is to move them.

Oh, easy. Ha-ha-ha.

OK, moving bags of cement. OK...

SCRATCH STRAINS

Come on, Scratch.

HE STRAINS

-I can't do it.

-Let me help.

You just hold around the middle,

lift from the knees and move it to here.

Um, could you do that again?

I'm not very sure about the holding part.

-So...

-Hold...

-Hold.

-Lift...

-Lift.

-Move.

-Move.

-OK?

Hold...lift...move.

-OK, I've got the holding now, but not the lifting.

-Right.

OK, you just lift from the knees.

-Oh, show me, show me, show me.

-OK.

What you do, you just lift from the knees, OK.

Oh, like this. Oh. OK?

-Hmm, nearly got it. (Ha-ha.)

-OK.

You do a hold, a lift

and a move.

BOTH: Got it!

Oh, at last! Now, get lifting.

Ok, we'll get...

-But there are no more bags left to lift.

-What?!

Yeah! Ha, well lifting bags is easy. What's next?

You two can start laying the bricks with the cement mixture.

Hmm, what did she say?

Something about playing with sand.

-Oh, yippee! Oh, I love playing with sand.

-Me too, builder Nuzz, me too.

Oh, whoopsie.

Ha-ha-ha-ha! Being builders is great fun, hey, builder Scratch?

It certainly is, builder Nuzzle.

I wonder if Captain Carry On is having as much fin back at the shop?

I doubt it. It'll be ever so quiet.

Right, so... Oh, I'll be with you in...

Er, there you go, sir. Thanks very much.

Now, would you like a bag for this one?

Have a lovely party, everybody.

HE SIGHS

Peace at last. Ah... OH!

BOTH: Hello, Captain.

Hello, twins.

We've come for our costumes.

-Yeah, where are they?

-Good question.

Nuzzle, Scratch, where are you?

Pattycake, pattycake...

-It is finished!

-Hey, brilliant castle, eh, Builder Scratch?

-Fantastico, Builder Nuzzle-a!

-THEY LAUGH

-I'm the king of the castle!

-No, I am the king of the castle.

-I'm the king of the castle.

-You're the QUEEN of...

-What is going on?

-Oh, well, we're the best sandcastle builders EVER!

-Yeah, yeah.

But I don't want a sandcastle, I want a wall.

Are you sure you're proper builders?

-The very best.

-Well, then, pay attention.

-Attention? Huh, no problem.

-Yeah.

OK...mix the sand, cement and water in the mixer.

Lay the mixture onto the brick. Place the brick in a straight line.

And build me a brick wall from here to here!

-OK?

-SHE SIGHS

-Hey, Scratch, she's ever so nice, isn't she?

-Ever so.

So we'll build her an ever-so-nice wall!

-Oh, building's fun!

-That's right, Builder Nuzzle. That's right.

Now...where'd she want this wall again?

Well, she just said from here... to here

and then walked to her front door.

So we'll build the wall from here to her front door. Easy!

HE LAUGHS Oh, we're really good builders.

Yes, we are, Nuzzle. Yes...we...are.

# Here we are

# And this is how we're dressed

# Here we are

# We're smarter than the rest

# When a task needs doing

# These are the costumes that are best

# Here we are

# A groovy-looking pair

# Here we are

# We're working here and there

# When a task needs doing

# These are the costumes that we wear

# Boom-boom-boom, yeah! #

-Boing! Whoopsie!

-THEY LAUGH

-Oh, look at our wall, Nuzz.

-I know. It's so long!

-Yes, it is, yes.

BELL JINGLES

-Oh...hello, bike boy.

-Hello.

-You have to go that way now.

OK.

-It's all going very smoothly, isn't it?

-Yes, it is, yes.

Oh, hello!

-We have built a wall.

-Yes... Yes, you have to go that way now.

-Thank you!

-Yeah.

-I wish old Captain Plankton were here to see what we've done.

-Yeah.

-Mind you, I expect he's having far more fun back at the shop.

-Yeah.

-Have you got any more mortar?

-Hold on a second...

Where are our costumes?

-HE LAUGHS

-Well, I know they're here somewhere.

In fact, my two faithful assistants, Nuzzle and Scratch,

are probably making sure they're absolutely perfect right now.

Some things you can't rush.

We want our costumes.

Yes, of course you do. It's ridiculous.

I'll... I'll just go and see... that's...

Stay there.

Nice brew, eh, Scratch?

-Yes, it is.

-NUZZLE CHUCKLES

MOBILE PHONE RINGS

-Uh-oh, you'd better get that.

-OK...

NUZZLE CLEARS THROAT

Hello. Builder Nuzzle and Builder Scratch speaking. No job too big.

Where on Earth are you? The twins are waiting for their costumes.

Oh, well, we're by our brick wall.

Our very-well-built brick wall, if I may say so.

That way, please.

Yeah, well, I need those costumes, and fast.

-We'll be there as soon as this cement stuff has dried.

-'Well, hurry up.'

And don't forget the sponge fingers.

-OK, then. Yeah, bye-bye.

-Bye-bye.

-Yeah, bye-bye.

-Yes...bye-bye.

-Yeah, bye.

-Bye-bye-bye.

-Yeah, bye-bye.

-Yeah, b... Bye.

Mrs Busybod will be so happy, Builder Nuzzle.

-Yeah. We've done such a good job, eh, Builder Scratch?

-Yes, we have.

What have you done?!

You've built the wall across the pavement!

Yes, we have!

So that's why I've had so many visitors.

-Oh, we love visitors, don't we, Scratch?

-Yes, love them.

OK, I'll give you one more chance.

And, just to be absolutely clear, I don't want a sandcastle,

I want a brick wall,

and I want it built exactly where I am now. Got it?

Yes, Mrs Busypants.

-NUZZLE LAUGHS Busypants!

-Yeah...

-Where did she say she wanted it?

-Exactly where she is now.

-But she's at her front door now.

-Then that's exactly where she wants it!

THEY LAUGH

SCRATCH SLURPS

Oh, no.

Nuzz, we're going to need more than one brick

to build this wall for Mrs Busypots.

I wonder where the brick shop is.

No time for brick shops, Builder Nuzz.

-There are loads of bricks there.

-Yeah, there's a builder just like us!

Yeah, and he's got a costume on just like us!

-I hope he lets us have some bricks.

-I'm sure he will, Builder Nuzz.

-Us builders stick together, mate.

-SCRATCH LAUGHS

SCRATCH HUMS TUNE

Excuse me, fellow builder.

Would you mind if we borrowed some of your bricks, please?

Yeah, we're building a wall for Mrs Busylady.

TOOL VIBRATES LOUDLY

Oh. Well, he's nodding very quickly.

That's because he's very pleased to help his fellow builders.

Ahhh. Thanks, builder man!

Yeah. What a nice man.

Toodle-oodles, see ya later!

Come on, Builder Nuzz, let's get these bricks.

-BOTH:

-Mrs Busybee...

-THUD!

-Ouch!

-Oh... What?!

-I think she likes it, Builder Scratch!

I can't wait to see her face, Builder Nuzzle!

No, no, no, no, no!

-BOTH:

-Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Wait there.

-She definitely likes it, Nuzz.

-Yeah, we're good builders!

Why did you build it here?!

-Because that's exactly where you are now.

-But I wanted it...

Oh, it's a complete disaster.

Oh, wait a second, look at this.

Oh, oh, look, look... I've got a bucket on my head!

-Look at the bucket, Nuzz!

-That's funny!

-She doesn't like it. Hang on.

-Oh, my.

All I wanted was a wall built around my garden.

Ohhh. Well...why don't you have a sit down?

Oh...thank you.

SHE SIGHS

I think I need a holiday.

But I really haven't got time for holidays. I'm so busy!

Well, why don't you have a nice drink, perhaps?

Ooh! Thank you.

Hey, how about a little... ice cream, eh?

Ooh. Lovely.

A copy of your favourite book.

Ooh. Thank you very much.

Sand between my toes,

cold drinks, ice creams and my favourite book. Oh!

-Feels like I'm on holiday.

-That's it! You don't need to go on holiday.

No, you can have a holiday in your front garden whenever you want.

Yes...in my very own sandcastle holiday home.

I love it, love it, love it!

We knew you would.

Thank you, builders. Do come and visit again soon.

-We will.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

SHE SIGHS

I hope the twins enjoy being builders

as much as we have, Builder Nuzzle.

Oh, I'm sure they will... Builder Scratch!

Let's get these costumes back.

Oh, yeah, we've got to get the Captain some sponge fingers.

-He'd really like that.

-Yes, he would!

-THEY LAUGH

THEY SIGH

HE GULPS

MONKEY CHATTERS

-TWINS: Time's up, Captain.

-But...I...

-Nuzzle!

-Scratch!

-NUZZLE AND SCRATCH: Twins!

-Here are your costumes!

-Thank you, Scratch.

-Thank you, Nuzzle.

Toodle-oodles.

ALL: Bye!

CAPTAIN SIGHS

It's all very well playing at builders,

but I've had to entertain those twins, which isn't easy,

-I can tell...yoooooo, dear!

-THEY LAUGH

-You thought we were the twins!

-No, I didn't.

-Yes, you did!

-No, I didn't.

-Yes, you did!

-I did not, I knew it was you two all along.

-No, you didn't!

-I could tell by the furry ears.

-THEY LAUGH

-True!

-Boo!

-THEY LAUGH

-Oh, Captain!

-Yeah, he fell down!
