The Place Where We All Live/transcript

Kai-lan: 你好, I'm Kai-lan. I'm so glad you're here.

Hoho: What was that?

Rintoo: I don't see anything.

Tolee: Where's it coming from?

Kai-lan: We heard something down here in the grass, so we're trying to find out what it is.

San San: Keep it moving. Keep it moving.

Hoho: Kai-lan, Kai-lan, there's someone over here.

Rintoo: Ooh, ooh. Who is it?

Tolee: I bet it's someone little.

Kai-lan: Who do you see? Yeah! It's the ants, the snails, and the worms. Let's say hi to them in Chinese. Say "你們好."

Together: ​你們好!

Bugs: 你們好.

Kai-lan: Super! What are you all doing today?

San San: We're working together to build a fruit stand.

Fufu: In Ant City.

Together: A fruit stand?

San San: Here's what it's going to look like.

Snail #1: It'll have lots of fruit.

Worm #3: And cool water to drink.

Together: Ooh!

Rintoo: How are you going to make it?

San San: We all have different jobs. The ants will build the stand.

Snail #1: The snails will pick the fruit from the fruit trees.

Worm #3: And the worms will fill up pitchers of water from the stream.

Kai-lan: Wow! I can't wait to see the fruit stand when it's all done.

Tolee: That's going to be cool!

Rintoo: Yeah!

Hoho: Can't wait!

Kai-lan: Good luck, everybody!

Bugs: 謝謝.

Hoho: A fruit stand! I'm so excited!

Kai-lan: Look. There's Ye Ye.

Together: Ye Ye! Ye Ye!

Ye Ye: 我有礼物给大家.

Kai-lan: Wow! Ye Ye brought us presents.

Ye Ye: Hoho. Tolee. Rintoo. Kai-lan.

Together: 谢谢, Ye Ye.

Ye Ye: 别客气.

Kai-lan: I wonder what they are.

Ye Ye: Go ahead and open them.

Kai-lan: What did Ye Ye give me? A kite! Yeah!

Hoho: 我们都有风筝.

Rintoo: 太棒了!

Kai-lan: Ye Ye, this is a super special present. I love it.

Ye Ye: I'm glad, Kai-lan. Have a wonderful time flying your new kites, everyone.

Together: 谢谢, Ye Ye!

Hoho: Oh, oh, I can't wait to fly my kite! Oops!

Kai-lan: Let's get it!

Rintoo: I'll try!

Kai-lan: Follow that kite!

Hoho: I don't see it.

Tolee: Me neither.

Kai-lan: There it is!

Tolee: And there it goes!

Hoho: We're going to catch you, kite!

Rintoo: Let's grab it! Awesome! We got it!

Tolee: We got the kite!

Hoho: Yay!

Kai-lan: Now we can all fly our kites.

Together: Yeah!

Ants: Hey! What's going on?

Kai-lan: It sounds like someone's having a problem.

Tolee: Kai-lan, I think it's over there.

Ants: Oh no. We can't get past.

Kai-lan: Who do you see in the grass? You're right! It's the ants! What's going on, San San?

San San: We need more wood to make the fruit stand.

Fufu: Yeah. We need the wood over here.

San San: But some trash landed on our bridge.

Bubu: Now we can't get the wood over the river to the fruit stand.

Fufu: So we can't do our job.

Together: Oh no!

Kai-lan: Don't worry, ants. We'll help you.

Together: Yeah.

Snails: Hey! Oh no! What's that?

Kai-lan: Uh-oh. It sounds like someone else is having a problem. We'll be right back to help you, ants. We just need to see what's wrong in the garden. 跟我来!

Snails: I can't get it. It's so big.

Kai-lan: Who do you see in the garden? Yeah!

Together: The snails!

Kai-lan: What's wrong, snails?

Snail #1: We're just picking some fruit from the trees for the fruit stand...

Snail #2: When this huge piece of trash came out of the sky...

Snail #1: And landed on our fruit trees. Now we can't get to the fruit.

Snail #2: So we can't do our job.

Hoho: Wow! There's a lot of trash in the backyard!

Kai-lan: Don't worry, snails. We'll help you get your fruit.

Worms: Whoa! Hey!

Kai-lan: Someone else is having a problem!

Tolee: Boy, there are a lot of problems today.

Kai-lan: We'll be right back to help you, snails. We just need to see what's wrong over there in the dirt. 跟我来!

Worms: Oh no. It stopped. What are we going to do?

Kai-lan: Who's in the dirt? Yeah! The worms! What happened, worms?

Worm #3: We were filling our pitchers with water from the stream for the fruit stand.

Worm #2: So everyone can have a drink.

Worm #3: But a gigantic piece of trash fell into the stream.

Worm #2: And now there's no water for us to put in our pitchers.

Both: So we can't do our job.

Worm #3: That trash is in our way.

Fufu: There's trash in our way too.

Snail #1: And there's trash in our way.

Together: Uh-oh!

Kai-lan: There's trash in the way of the ants, the snails, and the worms.

Hoho: So they can't do their jobs.

San San: And if we can't do our jobs, then we'll never finish building our fruit stand.

Bugs: Yeah.

Rintoo: Kai-lan, why is there trash everywhere?

Kai-lan: I'm not sure, Rintoo. But... let's find out why there's trash everywhere. Remember what happened before there was trash everywhere? First, we unwrapped our kites. Oh! We forgot about our wrapping paper and dropped it on the ground. And look. The wind blew it all around.

Ants: Hey! Oh no! What's going on?

Tolee: Oh. Some wrapping paper landed on the ants' bridge.

Snails: Hey! What is that?

Rintoo: And look! Look! Some wrapping paper landed on the snails' trees.

Worms: Whoa! Hey! Oh no.

Hoho: Uh-oh. And some wrapping paper landed in the worms' stream.

Kai-lan: Hey, that trash is our wrapping paper! I think I know why there's trash everywhere. Because we didn't pick up our wrapping paper. Do you think that's why? I think so too. This is all our fault. We're sorry, everyone.

Together: Really sorry.

Kai-lan: We were so excited about the kites, we forgot to pick up our trash.

Snail #1: We understand, Kai-lan. But just remember, we all need to take care of this place.

Worm #3: Because we all live here.

Hoho: Ooh, ooh! I wanna take care of the place where we all live!

Kai-lan: Do you think we should find ways to take care of the place where we all live?

Together: Yeah!

Kai-lan: I think so too.

Together: (singing) We got it, we got it, it's really, really true. We got it, we got it, we know just what to do! In everything you do, make sure that you take care of the place where we all live!

Bugs: All right! Yeah! All right. That sounds like a great plan, Kai-lan.

Rintoo: Awesome! Uh, Kai-lan? How do we take care of the place where we all live?

Kai-lan: We'll find a way, Rintoo. (singing) What can we try? It's up to me and you. We need to take care of the place where we all live. We'll figure out... what to do!

Tolee: There's a whole lot of wrapping paper, Kai-lan.

Kai-lan: You're right, Tolee. And the first thing we can do is pick it up.

Rintoo: Yeah, then the ants, snails, and worms can do their jobs.

Hoho: And finish building the fruit stand.

Bugs: All right! That's great!

Kai-lan: Come on! We got some wrapping paper to pick up. 跟我来. First, we need to pull this wrapping paper out of the stream.

Worms: Ooh.

Kai-lan: Look! What happened to the water when we took the wrapping paper away? Yeah, it started moving. The water's flowing again!

Worms: 真棒! 好! 太好了!

Worm #3: Now we can do our job!

Worm #2: We have water to bring to the fruit stand.

Kai-lan: Super! Now we need to put this wrapping paper in the right place. We can put this into the recycling bin. We just need to put it in the bin where all the paper goes. Do you see a bin with a picture of paper on it? Yeah, right there.

Hoho: Ooh, Kai-lan, can I put it in?

Kai-lan: Sure, Hoho.

Hoho: Here I go! Ya!

Together: 太棒了!

Kai-lan: We'd better go help the snails and the ants, so they can finish getting the fruit stand ready. Let's go, go, go!

Rintoo: Snails, we're here to take care of the place where we all live.

Snails: Yes! Hooray! All right.

Rintoo: Hey, this wrapping paper's stuck.

Tolee: We can help.

Kai-lan: And you can help too. You can say "pull" in Chinese. Say "拉." 拉. Super! Now, when you say "拉," we'll pull. Say "拉."

Together: 拉!

Kai-lan: Super! You're helping us pull!

Snails: 太好了! 太棒了! 好!

Snail #1: Now we can do our job and pick fruit for the fruit stand!

Rintoo: Hey, I know what we can do with this piece of wrapping paper. Watch this. Ta-da!

Kai-lan: What did Rintoo make with the wrapping paper? You're right! A hat.

Hoho: Rintoo made a hat! Rintoo made a hat!

Kai-lan: Rintoo, you did a super job making something new out of the trash.

Rintoo: 谢谢, Kai-lan.

Kai-lan: Now, let's go help the ants so they can finish building the fruit stand. 跟我来! We're going to help you get across that bridge, ants.

San San: 谢谢. Now we can do our job and finish the fruit stand.

Ants: Yay! Hooray!

Kai-lan: Do you think we're taking care of the place where we all live? Yeah, I think so too.

Hoho: Kai-lan, I like taking care of the place where we all live!

Both: Me too!

Rintoo: What else can we do?

Kai-lan: Hmmm... Do you see anything else we can pick up? Yeah. Those bottles and that paper. Let's go, go, go!

Together: (singing) We can all take care of the place where we all live. We can do our share in the place where we all live. We can pick up plastic bottles, and put them in the plastic bin. We can all take care of the place where we all live. We can do our share in the place where we all live. We can pick up pieces of paper, and put them in the paper bin. We can all take care of the place where we all live. We can do our share in the place where we all live!

Bugs: Keep it moving. Keep it moving. Yeah!

Kai-lan: Hey, I think the ants are almost finished with the fruit stand. Let's go see.

Bugs: Yeah! Almost done. Nice work.

Together: Wow!

Tolee: Look! Lots of ants are coming to the opening of the fruit stand.

Rintoo: Look. Those ants are coughing because of the smoke from those cars.

Kai-lan: You're right, Rintoo. The smoke from those cars isn't good for the place where we all live. But...

Together: We know just what to do! (singing) In everything you do, make sure that you take care of the place where we all live!

Hoho: Ants, there's too much smoke!

Kai-lan: We really think you should help take care of the place where we all live.

Ant #1: Kai-lan, we want to.

Ant #2: But we need to get to the fruit stand fast.

Ant #3: And if we can't use our cars, how can we get there fast?

Kai-lan: Well, maybe you can use something else that has wheels. Do you see anything else that has wheels? Yeah, a bicycle. Perfect! Instead of using cars, the ants can use...

Together: Bicycles!

Ant: I have enough bikes for all the ants.

Ants: Hooray!

Ant #1: I like to bike.

Ants: Yeah! Yay! Whee!

Kai-lan: Do you see any smoke? No. I don't either. That's because the bikes don't make any smoke. They keep the air clean. You really helped the ants take care of the place where we all live.

Ant #1: I wish my bike went faster. I need to get to the fruit stand quick.

Kai-lan: Hey, I know how we can make the bikes go faster. And we can use this wrapping paper. Watch this. What do you think this looks like? Yeah, a kite! Now let's see what happens if I put it on this bike.

Ant #1: Whoa! I'm going so fast. I'll be at the fruit stand in no time.

Rintoo: Awesome idea, Kai-lan!

Tolee: Yeah, let's make kites for the other ants on bikes.

Kai-lan: You can help us. Let's say "kite" in Chinese. Say "风筝." 风筝. Super! When you say "风筝," we'll give an ant a kite. Say "风筝."

Both: 风筝.

Ant #2: Whee!

Kai-lan: Super! Again! Say "风筝."

Both: 风筝.

Ant #3: Fruit stand, here I come!

Kai-lan: Hey, we'd better get over to the fruit stand too. We have to help out with the big opening.

Tolee: Yeah!

Rintoo: Let's go.

Hoho: Come on!

Kai-lan: San San, our kites are all tied to the curtain.

San San: Okay, Kai-lan, we're ready.

Kai-lan: Okay, everyone, let go of your kites to open the fruit stand.

All: Ooh!

Kai-lan: Wow! Look at that fruit stand.

Fufu: Thanks for all your help, everyone!

Snail #1: You really took good care of the place where we all live.

Kai-lan: Ye Ye, thank you so much for our kites.

Ye Ye: I'm glad you like them, Kai-lan.

Kai-lan: Today we caused lots of problems for the ants, the snails, and the worms, but then they helped us, and now we know how to ttake care of the place where we all live.

Together: We sure do! (singing) We can all take care of the place where we all live. We can do our share in the place where we all live.

Kai-lan: Sing with us!

Together: (singing) We can all take care of the place where we all live. We can do our share in the place where we all live!

Kai-lan: I know that you'll take good care of the place where you live too. That makes you a great friend. You make my heart feel super happy! 你让我好开心. 再见.

All: 再见!
