Pootle's New Spaceship Q Pootle 5

ENGINE SPUTTERS

Hi, Pootle!

Oopsy!

Ah...ah...ah...

choo!

-BOTH:

-Eddi!

-BOTH:

-Stella!

Groobie.

OOPSY CHUCKLES

POOTLE YAWNS

Take me home, little spaceship,

then I can put my feet up

and have a nice, long rest.

Whoa! What is that?

I'm losing power. Whoa!

Whoaaaa!

Whoaaaaa!

Whoaaaaaa!

Oh.

At least I'm back on the ground.

I don't think this is going to fly again in a hurry.

Pootle to Groobie. Pootle to Groobie. Come in, please.

HE SIGHS

Looks like I'll be walking home, then.

-And your spaceship is still stuck out there?

-I'm afraid so.

Never mind. I'm sure Groobie will be able to help you get it back.

-I don't know, Oopsy. Do I really want it back?

-What? What do you mean?

I wonder if spaceships are just too much trouble.

Do I actually NEED a spaceship?

I could walk instead.

You couldn't walk everywhere.

How would you visit Planet Dave?

HE SIGHS

No. You're right.

I DO need a spaceship.

So...

it just might be time I got a new spaceship.

Pootle! You can't!

You've had that spaceship for...for ever.

How about going over to Groobie's?

Talk to him.

Good idea. He'll know about all the latest spaceships.

Oh! That's not what I meant!

And you counted ten green bottles, Groobie?

Yes, just hanging on a wall.

Oh, hello, Oopsy. Hello, Pootle.

Hello, Groobie. Hi, Bud-D.

Sorry to hear about your little spaceship problem.

-Groobie, Pootle is thinking of getting a new spaceship!

-Oh, no!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no...

All right, Bud-D. Are you sure, Pootle?

It's a big decision.

I know, Groobie, and I've decided.

-Well, if you're really sure...

-I'm sure.

-There are some very nice spaceships available now.

-Oh!

The new Alpha-omega Transporter has three-phase plasma boosters.

-HE CHUCKLES

-I was tempted, myself.

-In fact, I've got some brochures around here somewhere.

-Really?

Oh, that's great.

Wow! Look at that!

A double-decker.

Oh, Groobie was right.

Some of these spaceships are amazing.

And this one - eight boosters.

There's more to go wrong, of course.

This is not going to be easy.

Hello, Stella.

Morning, Pootle.

Oopsy told me you were thinking of getting a new spaceship.

Yes. I am.

But I can't decide.

I thought it might be an idea to ask everyone what

they like about THEIR spaceships.

What you like about yours?

Well, it's nice and comfy

and very reliable. It's not broken down for ages...

if you don't count last Thursday.

The hood came open when I went to see Planet Dave.

No harm done. Ray was a bit, you know...

But, no, on the whole, pretty reliable.

So, you're pretty happy with it?

Oh, why don't you give my spaceship a try?

We could fly over to Eddi's and, if you don't like mine,

I'm sure he'd let you try his.

That IS a good idea.

-This is cosy.

-Right. Here we go.

That's the starter. When she fires, go easy on the...

Whoa!

Oh, sorry.

RAY GRUNTS

Good. We're off.

One thing you need to get used to

is if you want to turn right, turn the wheel left

and if you want to turn left, turn the wheel right. Right?

Um...right.

Keep looking ahead.

Just feel for the controls.

-SQUAWK!

-No, not that - that's Ray's leg.

There must be SOMETHING we can do.

I don't know, Oopsy.

Pootle seemed very sure.

He wants a new spaceship.

But he's got a perfectly good one stuck out there in the desert.

Not quite perfect.

And it's not stuck out in the desert.

What's happened to it?

Pootle said I could have it.

So Bud-D and I brought it back to my yard this morning.

Let me have a think, Oopsy. I'll have a think.

Hello, everyone.

Pootle's been trying out my spaceship.

-He's thinking of getting a new one.

-Yes.

A bit of a surprise, I must say.

I'm sorry, Stella. I didn't get the hang of the controls on yours.

The jet-fan combination has always been a tricky one.

What YOU need are some V8 thrusters like mine.

Maybe Pootle could try your spaceship, Eddi.

Yeah, he... What?

Er...yes, why not?

Thanks, Eddi.

HE GROANS

Too tight? That's a shame.

OOPSY LAUGHS

POOTLE: Whoa!

I think this might be a bit too tricky for me to control, Oopsy.

That's what makes it fun, Pootle!

Whoa-oh-oh-oh!

SHE LAUGHS

Thank you.

Ah.

-We've done well today, Bud-D.

-We have indeed, Groobie.

I think somebody's going to be very pleased.

Hm.

The problem is, I like different things from different spaceships,

but nothing has everything I want.

Why don't you cut out all the bits you like from each spaceship

and stick them together?

Why would I do that?

Because you could show it to Groobie and ask him

if he can get one like that for you.

Oopsy! That's brilliant!

-Oh...

-SHE GIGGLES

-Hello, you two.

-Hi, Groobie.

I couldn't find the spaceship I wanted in any of your brochures.

So we cut out the bits Pootle liked best...

And we stuck them all together to make a picture

of my perfect spaceship.

Well, well, well. What do you think, Bud-D?

Oh, very interesting.

Could you find me something like this, Groobie?

Yes, I think I probably could.

How long would that take to get?

Well, normally I'd say quite a long time.

BOTH: Oh!

But...it just so happens,

Bud-D and I have been working on a spaceship in my yard.

I think Pootle should take a look.

-Don't you, Bud-D?

-Absolutey-tootey!

-STELLA:

-Oh, this is exciting.

It's not every day you get a new spaceship.

Ready, Bud-D?

THEY ALL GASP

That's nice.

Oh, it's amazing, Groobie!

It's just like the picture.

It's quite similar to your old one, Pootle.

Yes, it is, isn't it?

It IS year-old spaceship, Pootle.

We fixed it.

Yes, Bud-D. I think Pootle knows that.

Well, I'm very happy to have my old spaceship

as my NEW spaceship!

And I think it's time I took it for a spin.

Probably not needed...

Here we go.

Woo-hoo!

Definitely not needed.

THEY LAUGH

Whoo!
