00:00Wake up!
00:02Hey, listen for the words Trophy and Boast.
00:06It's the most exciting day of the year at Becky's school, Student Award Day.
00:11And as a special treat for everyone in the audience, the school orchestra is playing some beautiful music.
00:17At least I think that's very cool.
00:19Wow, Victoria, you're really good at playing the recorder.
00:32Becky, I'm not just good at playing the recorder. I'm the best. In fact, that's my name, Victoria Best. And I'm the best at everything.
00:42That's our daughter. I'm Mr. Best, and this is my wife, Mrs. Best.
00:47We're the best. We certainly are.
00:49Ugh, I wish they didn't have to boast like that.
00:52I know. It's annoying to hear people brag about themselves.
00:56But I really am the best at everything.
00:59And Victoria, it's nice that you take pride in yourself.
01:04But when you go around telling people how great you are, that's called boasting, and people don't really like a boaster.
01:10But I'm the best at boasting.
01:12All right, students. It's time to hand out the trophies to the best students in the school.
01:17The best students. I think we all know where this is going.
01:21First, the trophy for best recorder player goes to Victoria Best.
01:26I'd say this is a surprise, but we all know it's not.
01:31Now the trophy for best violinist goes to Victoria Best.
01:36I'm the best.
01:37Best Spanish speaker.
01:38I'm the best.
01:39Best gymnast.
01:40I'm the best.
01:41Best kickball player.
01:43Best bug collector.
01:45Best actress in a school play.
01:47And now the final trophy for best reader goes to Vic...
01:51Wait a second, Victoria.
01:53Victoria, the trophy goes to Becky Botsford.
01:56Me, her.
01:57Who?
01:58Becky, come up and get your trophy.
02:00Thank you, Principal.
02:01No, Becky, thank you.
02:03I was getting pretty tired of listening to Victoria boast about how she's the best.
02:09But I am the best at everything.
02:13Victoria, you can't be the best at everything.
02:16Yes, she can.
02:17Victoria, what went wrong?
02:18I don't know, Father.
02:19I did everything I could.
02:21Clearly you didn't.
02:22Because if you did, that reading trophy would be ours or yours.
02:26If you want to be the best, you have to be 100% dedicated to being the best.
02:31That means you must always keep your eyes on the prize.
02:37Yes.
02:39Eyes on the prize.
02:42Well, it's my prize, so I'm just going to leave with it now.
02:47Okay, bye.
02:49Later that day, on the school playground.
02:52Bob, I'm also happy I won, but I don't think it's right to boast about it.
02:58Okay, nobody's looking, so maybe I'll boast just a little.
03:00I won a trophy.
03:01I won a trophy.
03:02Yay!
03:03I won a trophy.
03:04Yay!
03:05Yay!
03:06Yay!
03:07Yay!
03:08Yay!
03:09Yay!
03:10Yay!
03:11Yay!
03:12Yay!
03:14Eyes on the prize.
03:16Ah!
03:17Oh, no!
03:18My trophy!
03:19It's gone!
03:20Well, somebody must have stolen it.
03:22I think we all know who stole my trophy.
03:24Victoria Best.
03:25I'm going to find her and get it back.
03:27Mom, Dad, guess what?
03:28Principal realized she made a mistake.
03:29She said this trophy really doesn't belong to Becky.
03:30It belongs to me!
03:31Does this mean that our Victoria is the best reader after all?
03:33Of course, darling, if she has the trophy, that means that she's the best.
03:43I suppose I can now stop being disappointed in you, Victoria.
03:46Now we can go around the neighborhood.
03:48Does this mean that our Victoria is the best breeder after all?
03:51Of course, darling. If she has the trophy, that means that she's the best.
03:55I suppose I can now stop being disappointed in you, Victoria.
04:00Now we can go around the neighborhood and boast how our daughter is truly the best at everything.
04:05I'll bring the megaphone.
04:08Attention, neighbors. Our daughter is the best at everything.
04:11I sure am.
04:14Hello, Victoria.
04:15Becky, what brings you here?
04:19I'm just wondering if you've seen my trophy.
04:22Your trophy?
04:24Nope, I haven't seen it.
04:26Why? What happened to it?
04:28I have a feeling someone stole it.
04:30Why would I need to steal your trophy? I have so many in my own.
04:35Those are all yours?
04:36Yep, every single one.
04:38Do you mind if I take a look at them?
04:40As long as you don't steal them for yourself.
04:42Steal them? Why would anyone want to steal someone else's trophy?
04:46I wouldn't know.
04:47You won the trophy for best professional bowler?
04:50I'm the best at everything.
04:52The Nobel Prize for physics?
04:53I'm the best. That was an easy one.
04:55The Emmy for outstanding writing and animation?
04:58If I may boast. I'm particularly proud of that one.
05:02Well, this is impossible. You couldn't have won all these awards.
05:05You're just jealous, Becky, because I'm the best at everything and you're not.
05:09Oh.
05:10Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to practice my recorder.
05:13Not that I'd need the practice, because I'm the best at everything.
05:23Once again, our daughter's the best at everything.
05:27And we have the trophies to prove it.
05:29You're right, Bob. She didn't win them, she stole them.
05:32And she's going to keep on stealing trophies until someone stops her.
05:37Word.
05:40Word, girl. What are you doing here?
05:42I'm here to challenge you to a competition tomorrow morning at the school assembly hall.
05:47I'll be there, and I'm going to win.
05:49Because whatever it is, I'll be the best at it.
05:52Why? Because...
05:53The best at everything. We get it.
05:54But I actually know someone who can beat you at something.
05:57Who?
05:58My sidekick, Captain Huggyface.
06:00Psst. A monkey.
06:02You think a monkey can beat me at something.
06:05Ha! Ha!
06:07Oh yeah, monkey?
06:08Well, obviously, there's something you don't know about Victoria best.
06:13Father megaphone.
06:15Hey, da-da.
06:16Hey, da-da.
06:16I'm in the best!
06:17I'll see you two tomorrow.
06:21Don't worry, Huggy.
06:22You're going to beat Victoria in that competition.
06:25Then she won't have anything to boast about.
06:27The next morning at the school assembly hall...
06:30All right, students, settle down.
06:33Today, Word Girl has asked me to bring you all here
06:35so we can watch a contest between Captain Huggy Face...
06:39...and Victoria Best.
06:44Yay!
06:45Achieve!
06:46Go, Victoria!
06:47I'm the best.
06:48Yes, Victoria, you mentioned that.
06:50But before you boast too much, you should hear what the contest is.
06:54Who can eat more salty crackers in 30 seconds?
06:57You or Captain Huggy Face?
07:00Contestants, are you ready?
07:03On the count of three.
07:06One, two, three!
07:12Go, Victoria!
07:14Remember, you're the best!
07:16I'm the best!
07:17No, Huggy, go!
07:24Go, Victoria!
07:25Go, Victoria!
07:26Go, Victoria!
07:26Go, Victoria!
07:28Time's up!
07:40And time's up!
07:41Let's see who ate the most crackers.
07:46Victoria, you ate 20 crackers
07:50What did she say? I couldn't tell what she said
07:56And now, Captain Huggy Face
07:58Captain Huggy Face, you ate 187 crackers
08:05Congratulations, you are the winner
08:08Oh no, our daughter isn't the best at something
08:12This is a real disappointment
08:14Agreed
08:15And Huggy, for winning this competition, you get this trophy
08:20The Golden Net
08:22The Golden Net? That's a strange trophy
08:27But anything can be a trophy as long as it's given to honor someone's achievement
08:31So since this Golden Net is being awarded to Huggy for winning the Cracker Eating Contest
08:35It's a trophy
08:36Uh, Victoria, Huggy and I are now taking this trophy to our secret hideout
08:42Where we'll look at it every day to remind us that he was the best cracker eater
08:47Oh
08:48We're leaving, Victoria
08:48Stop right there
08:50What's wrong, Victoria?
08:53Is your mouth too dry from eating all those salty, salty crackers?
08:57No, my mouth is fine
08:58Well, I'm leaving
08:59And I'm taking this trophy with me
09:02And Victoria, I can't begin to tell you how disappointed we are in you
09:06You were supposed to win that trophy
09:08Well, she didn't keep her eye on the prize
09:11No, she didn't
09:12I got the prize
09:18Victoria, you wanted trophies so badly that you wound up trapped in a trophy
09:33I don't mean to boast, but I really do think that was pretty clever of me
09:37What is going on here?
09:39Mr. Best, your daughter has been stealing trophies
09:42Does this mean that she really isn't the best at everything?
09:45Mr. Best, Victoria's great at a lot of things, but nobody can be the best at everything
09:50Victoria, I know you like to boast about all the trophies you've won
09:55But a trophy only means something if you've earned it
09:57You have a lot of trophies you didn't earn
10:00That's why I think you should give them back to the people who really deserve them
10:04Do I have to?
10:06Does she have to?
10:06Yes
10:08And so, Victoria returned the stolen trophy, including the most important one of all
10:16Here's Becky's trophy
10:18Yay, I'm so glad to have it back
10:20So I can make sure that, uh, who's this, uh, Becky Foxford gets it back
10:27Well, girl, I know you don't like to boast, so let me be the one to see that you are the best superhero in the race
10:34The best, the best
10:36And so, once again, Word Girl saves the day
10:44I think she deserves a trophy for defeating Victoria Best
10:48Yeah, that cracker troop was pretty smart
10:50Okay, now you're boasting
10:51Tune in next time for another exciting edition of
10:54Wake up
