ORGAN PLAYS TUNELESSLY

Thank you, thank you. Thank you very much.

-Hold the organ. Hannah?

-Yeah.

-Verity?

-Uh-huh.

-What are you guys doing here?

-BOTH: What are you doing here?

Well, did you guys apply for Prank Patrol?

BOTH: Yeah.

Well, come up on stage!

Congratulations.

I'm Scotty and you are the newest recruits on Prank Patrol.

You'll need that which is your pass to prank together.

You'll also need this. There you go - your official Prank Patrol

road trip jacket.

And this one for you, too, Verity. There you are.

-So are you guys ready to get pranking?

-Yes.

Mum and Dad, is it all right if we go pranking for a while?

-BOTH:

-Sure.

Fantastic. Thank you.

You know what? I was born for the stage.

I just love it. Girls, we've got to go. Let's get out of here. See you!

This is Hannah and Verity.

They're not just great mates,

they also like heaps of the same stuff.

Which makes them perfect partners in pranking.

BOTH: Hi, Prank Patrol.

We need your help to prank our two classes.

We think it would have a really big impact and it would be really fun.

But we also think it would be really tricky so we need your help.

Meet Hannah and Verity's Grade Five classmates. Look at them.

So innocent. Better get ready for a pranking!

Hannah and Verity welcome to our Prank Patrol spy camper van

and thank you so much for being part of our road trip.

-You excited?

-Yeah!

-So tell me, who are we pranking?

Both our classes.

I beg your pardon?

Both our classes.

-Two classes?

-Yes.

-You kidding me?

Why are you pranking your classes?

Well, we thought that when you prank one person it's got big impact,

but when you prank 50 kids - massive.

This is going to be awesome, but what have they done to you?

Let me guess, they all ganged up on you

and put lizards in your lunch, or something?

Er, actually, no, we're just doing it because we think it will be fun

and something to remember since we graduate in year five, so...

Lots and lots of fun to prank two classes on Prank Patrol.

You know we've never done this before.

We're Prank Patrol and I reckon there's a prank there we can use

so we'll get to that in a second,

but do you girls want to se my latest road trip diary?

-Yeah.

-OK.

They're like totally, fabulously awesome -

you'll love it, have a look at this.

Dear Diary, well, being in the bush

it's pretty important navigate your way around the place,

which is why today I gave orienteering a go.

It's this thing where you use a map and a compass

and you've got to work your way around everywhere.

Of course, I was great at it.

Yep, I've been using a compass all my life.

All right, check you campers later. Scotty out.

Ha! What did I tell you? King of orienteering or what?

-Er...

-Er...

-..pretty good!

-I guess?

-Average.

Perfect, the pancakes'll be ready soon.

OK, on to pranking business.

This one is a HUGE one. It's called Spelling Spin Out.

So, what happens in this prank is

we put on a spelling competition on at your school

and you two are going to be chosen to represent your classes.

-Sound like fun?

-Pretty good.

-Awesome.

-How are you at spelling?

-Er, average.

-I'm sure you're going to be awesome after this

because once the competition kicks off you start spelling words

that most adults couldn't even spell.

I am talking, like, the best words ever

and everyone is going to be totally gobsmacked in the room.

So, then the adjudicator ends up testing you on everything,

including testing your magic skills,

and you blitz every question possible.

And the word is going to spread,

and not to mention a visit from the prime minister herself,

who has come in person to congratulate you two

on your amazing genius.

-What do you think about that?

-Pretty good.

-Very awesome!

-Is that the prank to play on your two classes?

-BOTH: Yeah!

-You pretty excited to do it?

-BOTH: Yeah!

Well, if we're going to pull this prank off

we've got stacks of work to do. So, pancakes are served, enjoy.

Ninjas, pancakes are ready,

pack up the spy camper van and take us to the magician's lair.

One of the many talents Hannah and Verity are going to possess

are some amazing magic skills.

So, we're off to meet some professional magicians

who will help the girls get all tricked out.

There we go!

Trick! Woo-hoo-hoo!

Ha-ha! Lenny, how's tricks?

LAUGHTER

Get it? He's a magician? Ha-ha-ha! High five!

What about these tricks?

APPLAUSE

Wow, that is incredible!

I'm so excited to meet some real life magicians.

Does that mean you always meet dead ones?

LAUGHTER

Ha-ha-ha! And they're funny too!

Comedic magicians - you guys are the entire package!

Right. Is he always like this?

Yeah, pretty much. But you get used to it.

-Ah!

-So, what have you been working on?

I've been working on quite a few tricks.

-Do you want to see some?

-BOTH: Yeah, OK.

Hannah, come round, I want to show you one.

Just take up any single card from me - doesn't matter which one.

Have a look at it. Lenny, hang onto this.

-What card did you get, by the way, Hannah?

-Two of clubs.

Can I have a look at that?

Two of clubs is a very special card. You know why? It can fly -

-like that. See that, I can...

-SCOTTY EXHALES

..control it and catch it like this.

Keep that as a souvenir.

OK, Verity, come round here. I want to show you one as well.

You know, magicians have always changed card,

but they always used their sleeves.

I found a way to do it without my sleeves - watch.

If I take the king - one...two...three, I can change it.

I want you to have a look at these cards, make sure they're normal.

-Check them out. Now watch.

-HE COUGHS

-SCOTTY EXHALES

-Ha-ha-ha! What do you think, girls?

-That was cool in a creepy way.

-What she said.

I was wondering, could you teach the girls some tricks -

not as good as that, but pretty good ones -

to trick all their classmates in their prank?

-Yeah, we can give that a go. Come with us, girls.

-Let's go!

-Awesome!

Good luck!

Hi girls, I thought I'm going to start with a simple trick, OK?

This is called a Harry Houdini pack.

Let me show you what it looks like. Just say stop any time you want.

-Stop.

-OK, have a look at it. OK, you got it?

-Yeah.

Now what I want you to do is, we'll put the handcuffs on the cards -

through the hole, like this.

So put it through and we lock it up as well, like this, OK?

Now I want you to hang onto it by the tips of the cuff, like that.

-Now, remember your card?

-Yeah.

-Still remember it?

I'm going to take it out, watch, while it's handcuffed.

I can take it out like this, you can't see it, but this is it

and I throw it in his pocket. Don't check.

I want to show you it's actually gone.

Let's go through it, look. I want to go through the whole thing, OK?

-Can you see your card so far?

-No.

-It's gone, right?

-Yeah.

You know how I said I threw it in his pocket?

It's in his pocket, have a look.

So, that's one that I thought we could do, OK?

-So, could I do that trick?

-Yeah, I'll teach you.

-Cool!

OK, so, Verity, I'm going to teach you how to read somebody's mind, OK?

-Awesome!

-So, here I've got a pack of cards.

I'll let you have them and if you could shuffle those for me.

Sure.

-Great, that's good.

-That's good!

Now, here we go.

So, I'll just show you quickly that you've just shuffled the cards.

There's no particular pattern or anything

-involved with the cards, is there?

-Not really.

-No?

So, I just place them down there

and if you can just cut maybe half the pack for me.

-OK.

-That's great.

Now, I'll just take these

and I'll just mark where you cut the cards, OK?

That's great.

So, what I'm going to teach you to do is read minds.

So, it's a little bit complicated, but it's not going to be too hard.

I'm going to be able to get the card from you,

but first I need you to have a look at what card you cut to.

So, if you could just have a look at your card for me.

Have a look...

just remember that card.

Now, you remember your card?

OK, good.

So, I want you to visualise the card in your head for me.

Great. Now, look at my hand.

Look at my hand and just picture the number of the card on my hand.

Can you see it there? It's an odd numbered card...it's a five.

I've got it - it's the five of clubs.

-Yeah! Awesome.

-So, would you like to learn how to do that?

-Yeah!

You girls are complete naturals - totally awesome,

-but remember the number one rule of magic.

-What's that?

-A true magician never reveals their secret.

-What?!

Not even to me?

-Especially not Scotty.

-Oh, come on, guys! No fair.

OK, girls, we've got to get to the next location,

we've got heaps more to do.

I was wondering, can you guys maybe help us to get there?

I think we can help you.

Here's a recipe that's nice and gross.

Well, maybe not so nice, but definitely gross.

Take a hard boiled egg, have an adult make one for you,

and peel the shell off.

Then the next time your friend is drinking a glass of milk,

secretly plop your egg into their glass.

Because both the egg and milk are white,

your friend will have no idea it's there

until they take a big swig

and something round and rubbery meets their lips.

Guaranteed to make your friend jump out of their skin!

Even though our girls are pretty smart,

they're not exactly geniuses...yet.

Our next job is to hook them up with some top of the range

hidden audio tech equipment

so we can feed them the answers from the real genius of the prank -

the dictionary.

Ha-ha! Oh, I love magic.

OK, girls, it's time to introduce you

to one of my old prank university friends.

Her name is Scarlett Watchington.

Now, she's a super-secret spy agent, OK?

Watch this.

SCARLETT!

I'll just, er...

(Hi, Scarlett.)

-Why are you whispering?

-Cos with all this hi tech audio equipment

-you never know who's listening round here.

-OK.

So, who do we have here?

OK, so we've got Hannah and Verity, Hannah and Verity, this is Scarlett.

-Hi, girls.

-Verity, tell Scarlett what we're doing for your prank.

Well, we're pranking our two classes with a spelling bee

and we need to turn into REALLY good spellers.

I'm talking really, really, REALLY good spellers.

-So, can you turn these two into geniuses?

-I think we can.

The answers to the questions will never be far away

when you're wearing these.

It's the little ear pieces.

They fit in your ear, they go all snug -

-no-one will be able to see a thing.

-Pretty cool.

-Awesome.

-Can we give them a go?

-Yeah.

HE IMITATES RADIO CRACKLING

(Come in, Whitetail and Foxtrot.)

Do you copy, Whitetail and Foxtrot? Are you there?

Who's Whitetail and Foxtrot?

Is he talking to us?

Oh, come on, guys. I'm using code words

-like they do in secret spy movies.

-HE IMITATES CRACKLING

-Is this Agent Scotty Tweedie?

-Yes, sir.

I have an official spy mission for you. Do you accept?

Of course.

First step of this challenge, dressing in an outfit next to you.

And then dance until the next agent

-approaches you with the next step of the mission.

-OK.

GIRLS AND NINJAS GIGGLE

DANCING MUSIC PLAYS

-Yeah, I know.

-GIGGLING

What?! You mean you were in on... And that was...?

Oh! Ninjas!

THEY GIGGLE

SCREAMING

NINJA LAUGHS

Hmmm...

-Mamma-mia!

-NINJAS GIGGLE

Muh-ha-ha-ha!

Oh, you're so funny!

Oh...

-Ah!

-Hey!

Hey, what the...? Hey, how'd you like it? It's your turn!

THEY GIGGLE

Ah!

NINJAS CHUCKLE

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Hee-hee-hee!

Ha-ha-ha!

Our latest Prank Patrol members, Hannah and Verity, are out

to prank all their friends

in a phoney inter-class spelling competition.

And when the Australian Prime Minister turns up,

it's pretty obvious that these girl geniuses

are not your average grade 5 students.

All right, girls, welcome to your prank location.

I'd like to introduce you to our Prank Patrol actor, Chris.

Chris, we've got Hannah and Verity.

-Hi, Hannah, how you going?

-Hi.

-Hi, Verity.

-Hello.

Now, Chris is going to be playing the spelling adjudicator, Mr Tracey.

How do you want him to play his character and react once you guys

start smacking out those monster words in the spelling bee?

I think you should act really surprised.

-Yeah, especially when we start doing the magic tricks.

-OK.

-Got that, Chris?

-I reckon I can do that.

There is one more thing we need to do now. It's time to release the...

Ninjas!

The blueprint for Hannah and Verity's prank is

a fake inter-class spelling competition, two girl wonders,

one very confused and amazed adjudicator,

roll in some magic tricks,

top it off with a visit from the Australian Prime Minister...

NINJA GIGGLES

..and that's our mind-blowing spelling spin out prank.

Good luck, Verity, and have a good time pranking.

Good luck, Hannah, and prank hard.

It's prank day and I've got the dictionary ready

and all the spy cams set up.

In fact, we've told everyone that we're filming this competition

for a documentary about spelling bees.

Good luck, girls.

-APPLAUSE

-All righty, well, welcome, everyone

to the first inter-class spelling competition

between our two fantastic classes.

So, we've got Mr Nelson's class over here.

APPLAUSE

Give it up for Mr Nelson.

-And Miss Brereton's class over here.

-APPLAUSE

Go, Team Brereton. Everything's going to plan.

So, from our grade 5 classes,

we have the pleasure of introducing

and please give a big round of applause to Hannah,

Will, Isabella, Verity, Ben and Grace.

APPLAUSE

To make this prank as believable as possible, we've put

our two teams through a number of rounds

with questions starting out easy.

Hannah, let's start with happy.

H-A-P-P-Y. Happy.

Correct, Hannah.

S-H-I-N-E

-Shine.

-APPLAUSE

U-N-D-E-R. Under.

C-A-R-R-Y.

S-T-I-N-G. Sting.

Well done, that's correct.

APPLAUSE

I think we're going to have to toughen this up a little bit more.

Your word is equation.

E-Q-U...

..A-S-I-O-N.

Sorry, mate.

Well done, Ben, sorry, mate.

I think you missed a letter there, I'm sorry. We're losing them fast.

-One by one, they got eliminated.

-Sorry.

-Oh, good try.

-APPLAUSE

Very, very good try.

OK, well, that leaves us with Hannah and Verity.

Now it's getting interesting.

I'll help you on this one, Verity. I'll help you out.

I'd like you to spell achieve.

-'A.'

-A.

-'C.'

-C.

-'H.'

-H.

-'I.'

-I.

-'E.'

-E.

-'V.'

-V.

-'E.'

-E. Achieve.

-Correct.

Hey, I'm pretty good at spelling, even though I'm reading the answer!

APPLAUSE

OK. Girls and audience,

I think we're going to raise the bar a bit now and move into

a more difficult words category.

Your word is manoeuvre.

-'M.'

-M.

-'A.'

-A.

-'N.'

-N.

-'O.'

-O.

-'E.'

-E.

-'U.'

-U.

-'V.'

-V.

-R.

-'R.'

-E.

-E.

-'Manoeuvre.'

-Manoeuvre.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Now, THAT is a tricky word. That impressed the audience.

-MR TRACEY LAUGHS

-Ah, this is incredible. I don't...

Your word - orthopaedics.

What?!

-'O.'

-O.

-'R.'

-R.

-'T.'

-T.

-'H.'

-'O.'

-'P.'

-'E.'

-'D.'

-D.

-'I.'

-I.

-'C.'

-C.

-'S.'

-S.

-'Orthopaedics.'

-Orthopaedics.

-Well done!

-MR TRACEY LAUGHS

-She sounds like a super genius.

-That is absolutely correct.

I think we need to throw a curve ball in, so I need a volunteer.

This young lady down on the corner with the dark hair,

if you'd like to grab the dictionary, stand at the microphone.

-Would you be so kind...

-Now, this is some serious pranking going on here.

Find a word that you think would be pretty hard to ask

and I will now ask Hannah to come up to the microphone.

And what's the word, Paris?

-Micrococcus.

-Pardon?

-Hannah.

-M.

-'I.'

-I.

-'C.'

-C.

-'R.'

-R.

-'O.'

-O.

-'C.'

-C.

-'O.'

-O.

-'C.'

-C.

-'C.'

-C.

-'U.'

-U.

-'S.'

-S.

-'Micrococcus.'

-Micrococcus.

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-How about that?!

I've never heard that word before in my life!

This must be a very special school, that's all I can say about this.

-A special pranking school.

-Let's find someone from this side.

-What is your name, young lady?

-Holly.

-OK, Holly.

-Cinnamon.

OK, Verity.

-'C.'

-C.

-'I.'

-I.

-'N.'

-N.

-'N.'

-N.

-'A.'

-A.

-'M.'

-M.

-'O.'

-O.

-'N.'

-N.

Correct.

She's amazing! And yum, I love cinnamon!

OK. Let's do some random pop quiz type questions.

Hannah, can you come up to the...

'Hannah, I'm going to give you the answer.'

But you've got to "um" and "ah" for a bit.

We have to eliminate someone here,

so Hannah, I've got one of my old favourites, Treasure Island.

Who wrote Treasure Island?

'Robert Louis Stevenson.'

'Robert.

-'Robert...'

-Robert Louis Stevenson.

Louis Stevenson is correct!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Perfect. The audience is lapping it up.

OK, here's a good one. You couldn't possibly know this one.

Say this answer straight away, OK?

Which mythical creature had the head of an eagle and the body of a lion?

-'Griffin.'

-A griffin.

-Did you say griffin?

-Mm-hm.

-Griffin is correct.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-She's a pretty smart cookie.

-Hip-hip-hooray for Verity.

-OK, we need to find a winner for today.

So, I need to ask the girls, are you gifted in anything else

that you could possibly have a competition between you two?

-I can do a magic trick.

-Same.

-What, you both can do magic tricks?

-Who wants to see a magic trick?

-CHEERING

-Awesome. And what a trick it will be.

-Let's see your magic trick.

What do you need, Hannah? Do you need anything special? A table?

-Could I please have the table?

-A table.

-And I also need an assistant.

-And an assistant.

-Mr Nelson.

What a glamorous assistant!

OK, so, what I'm going to do is flick through these cards

and I'm going to stop at a random card. OK.

-Can everyone see the card?

-That's the queen of hearts.

Now, Mr Nelson, could you please hold that?

OK, so, now I'm going to take the card invisibly

and throw it in Mr Nelson's pocket.

So, now, Mr Nelson, check in your pocket.

Come on, Mr Nelson!

-Ah!

-It's the jack of hearts!

-She's amazing.

-Well done, Hannah.

Well done, Mr Nelson. Thank you very much, Hannah. Let's have Verity.

That's a hard act to follow, Verity.

Well, I'm going to do another card trick. But I need a volunteer.

A volunteer.

Let's have Miss Brereton, please, if you wouldn't mind.

-Another glamorous assistant.

-Miss Brereton.

-First of all, could you please shuffle the cards?

-Sure.

Don't drop them, Miss Brereton.

Now that you've shuffled the cards,

you can see there's no particular pattern in there, is there?

-No. They're all normal.

-And there's no trick cards.

So, what I'm going to ask you to do, I want you to pick up the top card,

show the audience, have a look at it.

And then pop it back.

You're very good at this, Verity.

Four hearts.

OK, so, it's an even number.

-Four of hearts?

-Yes.

She must be psychic!

Who thinks Hannah's going to win?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Great screaming, kids!

And who thinks Verity's going to win?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Equally great screaming. This is going to be tough!

Yes? Sorry, I don't recognise this person,

just bear with us for a moment.

Hang on a minute - who's this?

-It's the Prime Minister.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-What's happened?

Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen,

someone's heard about these amazing abilities

of what the girls are up to.

-Can I introduce the honourable Prime Minister, Julia Gillard?

-What?!

I bet nobody was expecting that!

APPLAUSE

Prime Minister.

-IMPOSTER:

-Oh, look, I'm sorry for gate-crashing your competition here.

I was just around the corner having a meeting

when I got the call to come witness this extraordinary event

that's taking place here and I think as you guys know,

education is very important to me, it's a very high priority.

-Do we have an award we can give both?

-An award?

From the Prime Minister?

-Girls, come stand up.

-And what a massive award.

It would be an honour if I could award this to you lovely girls,

and if you could just read what it says on the certificate out

to the whole room, please.

Hey, guys. On the certificate it says...

you've just been pranked by the Prank Patrol!

Hey!

You've just been pranked by the Prank Patrol, guys!

SCOTTY LAUGHS

Well done, you two.

Everybody, Hannah and Verity have just pranked you

on the Prank Patrol.

What was the weirdest bit when you were watching all that?

When they got all of the questions right.

I just want to say,

I thought I was going to prank someone on Prank Patrol,

but never thought I was going to be pranked

by Prank Patrol by someone!

I'm going to prank you, Hannah and Verity.

Thank you so much for being part of the Prank Patrol,

this has been the biggest group of people we've ever pranked

-in the history of Prank Patrol!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
