Helpsters!
Camper Cortez!
-Heart. -Hey.
-Hi, how are you? -Scatter, Cody, Mr. Primm.
-Hello. -Welcome.
-It's so good to see you. -You too.
But I have a problem.
Well, problems are our specialty.
Right this way.
Have a seat.
Thank you.
And a basket you can kinda see through.
-Oh, yeah. Kind of. -Yeah.
How can we help you?
Well, I, Camper Cortez, love camping.
-Yeah. -And today is my big camping trip.
I'm so excited.
-I even wrote a song about it. -Really?
Going camping, going camping
Going camping
-That was the best song ever. -Bravo. Bravo.
Thanks. My problem is, it's going to be dark in my campsite tonight,
and I lost my flashlight.
We have a bunch of lights you can use.
This is the best one.
This is perfect! Thanks for your help, Helpsters.
You're very welcome.
We did it, everybody!
Yeah, we did.
High fives and handshakes
-What was that? -It sounded like thunder.
And that was lightning.
Thunder and lightning usually means there's...
Rain.
Not going camping, not going camping
Whoa, Cortez.
Don't you change your lyrics yet.
Maybe the storm won't last that long.
We should check the weather, huh?
"Weather checked. It will rain for days and days.
And days and days.
It will rain for many more days after that as well."
I know what we can do.
What if we made the inside of the shop look like the outside?
So Camper Cortez can camp in here.
-That is an amazing idea! -Thank you.
Muy bueno.
But where do we start?
Well, I'll tell ya.
Everything starts with a plan
A plan is how we know the way
When we're struggling and
We're not sure we can
We start with a plan And by the end of the day
We'll be all high fives and handshakes
When we see what a difference A plan makes
'Cause everything starts
With a plan
Helpsters, our goal is to help Cortez
go camping inside the shop.
Now, who's got an idea?
-Cortez, might I ask... -Yes?
...what are your favorite things about camping?
-Good question. -I love being surrounded by trees.
We got you covered.
-Nice work, Heart. -Yeah.
-Oh, wow. It's amazing. -Great, yeah.
I also love eating a s'more. It's my favorite camping snack.
Yeah, gotta have a snack.
So that is job one:
Make a s'more.
-On it. -Great.
Okay, what else?
What do you like to do when you're camping?
I really like to look up at the stars.
Especially the Big Dipper.
-The big what-er? -Dip-dip?
-What is that exactly? -What is that, the big?
-What's big? -Big... dip.
The Big Dipper is a special group of stars.
It's kind of in the shape of a big spoon. See?
There's the handle, and there's the spoon part.
Oh, yes, I see it.
I do love a good spoon.
Sounds like we've got job two:
Make the Big Dipper.
I shan't let you down.
I know you shan't.
Anything else, Cortez?
I almost forgot the best part of camping.
-Yeah? -Lying in a sleeping bag.
That sounds so nice.
So, that is job three:
Get a sleeping bag.
I will do this job.
Great!
Well, Camper Cortez.
We have our plan.
We've got the plan, got the plan
We've figured it out We've got the plan
What happens when we've got the plan?
We give a happy shout Just 'cause we can
Eso!
-"Eso"? -It's a happy sound in Spanish.
-Oh, great! -Eso!
Cody?
-Good news. -Yeah?
I found a sleeping bag.
Why are you whispering, Heart?
It is sleeping.
My job is not finished?
No, I'm sorry, Heart.
That's on me. I need to give you clearer instructions.
Okay, it needs to be a bag for Cortez to sleep in.
Yeah, that one's too small. Very cute though.
I see.
I will do this.
-Thanks, palsy. -See you soon.
Time to wake up, little one.
Cody! Cortez!
I need help making the s'more!
Okay, we're on our way!
-Okay. -Let's go. This way.
Welcome to the graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow room!
It was the only room we had available.
It's amazing!
It's almost like camping.
Except there's four walls and a ceiling and electricity.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
So, buddy bud, looks like you got all the ingredients you need here.
Yeah, but I don't know the sequence.
Sequence?
Yeah, that means the order in which things happen.
I make s'mores all the time. I can help.
Great.
Okay, so, Cortez, you give Scatter commands.
-And, Scatter, you make the s'mores. -Yeah!
And I'll watch from here and cheer you on.
Scatter, Scatter, he's our man. If he can't do it...
He'll keep trying!
I know it doesn't rhyme, but it's what we do.
-Yeah, it works too. -Okay, Cortez, let's go!
Let's go!
Okay.
First, get one graham cracker.
Graham cracker!
Next, put the chocolate on the graham cracker.
We got chocolate. Yes, we do!
Then put the marshmallow on the chocolate.
Marshmallow!
Last, put the second graham cracker on the marshmallow.
Two graham crackers are better than one!
-I did it! -Yeah, you D-I-did!
Make a s'more. Check.
One job done, two more to go!
Go, team!
-Go, team! -Go, team!
Is s'mores a sport now? If so, I like it.
Also, my job is finished.
-Come look. -Great, okay.
-I found a sleeping bag. -Yeah?
This burlap sack.
Well, thank you, Heart.
That bag is big enough to sleep in.
Yeah, but it looks really itchy.
Yes, it is.
You will never stop itching when you are inside this.
I guess I wasn't clear enough with my instructions again.
You were not?
I want a sleeping bag that's comfortable.
Yeah, and not itchy.
If you say so.
Don't worry. We'll get there. Yeah.
Good news.
I've acquired the luminous decahedrons to fashion the celestial pattern.
Excuse me?
I found glow-in-the-dark stickers to make the Big Dipper.
-They're so pretty. -Wow!
Yes, and now all I have to do is place the stars
in the shape of the Big Dipper.
Cortez, do you still have that photo?
Sure do.
Excellent. Let's dim the lights.
Now I shall make the dipper of which you speak.
There we go.
Yes.
One star here.
These like so.
-Mr. Primm? -Yes. Excellent. Voilà!
That's not the Big Dipper. That's an umbrella.
Dusty teacups. Let's try this again.
It's finished.
That's an arrow.
-Finished again. -Rocket ship.
How's this?
That's a heart.
You called?
-Different heart. -Okay.
Mr. Primm.
You know, it seems a little hard to look at the photo
and hang the stars at the same time.
Yes. Yes, it is very hard.
Well, how about you don't look down at the photo?
Then how will I know what to do?
Well, you know, Cortez and I can give you commands.
That is a wonderful idea.
I am at your command.
First, put two stars next to each other.
There we go.
Next, put two stars above those stars.
Okay. Then put one star to the side of one of the top stars.
The other side.
Yeah, yeah. Perfect.
Now put another star next to that.
Okay, and last, put another star next to that.
It's the Big Dipper!
Make the Big Dipper.
Check.
Two jobs done, one more to go.
-Good news, everyone. -Yeah?
I ate the s'more.
-You what? -How is that good news?
'Cause I made another one.
-Oh, great, buddy bud. -Wow.
And I found a sleeping bag, which my Uncle Squish tested.
Not itchy.
Way to go, Heart.
Get a sleeping bag.
Check.
All the jobs are done.
Now let's go camping.
-Yeah! -Yes!
So, Cortez, what do you think?
I'm in a sleeping bag
-with a s'more in my hand... -Yeah.
-...and the Big Dipper over my head. -Yeah.
I'd say this is the best camping trip ever.
That's so nice.
We did it, everybody.
-Yeah, we did. -Yeah.
Hey, Scatter?
Feel a song coming on?

Helpsters!
Artist Andrew and Detective Dudley!
How are you?
-Mr. Primm, how are you? -Good to see you.
It is so good to see you all.
-Sure is. -You too.
But we got a problem.
Well, well, well.
Problems are our specialty.
Right this way, gentlemen. Come along.
Have a seat.
And some pinwheels. Here.
How can we help you two?
I love taking my dog to the park.
Cute doggy.
And I love taking my dog to the park.
Cute doggy.
And now, both of our dogs are really good friends.
-They should be friends. -Cute.
Because our dogs have become such good friends,
we would love to be good friends too.
But we don't play fetch.
-Or dig holes in the dirt. -Or chase squirrels.
You know, fellas, you don't have to do the same things your dogs do together.
Interesting. So, what could we do?
Well, you could play a game.
-Yeah, I like games. -Yeah, I like games.
Hey.
What if we invented a new game to make it extra special?
I like that.
So, where do we start?
Everything starts with a plan
A plan is how we know the way
When we're struggling and
We're not sure we can
We start with a plan And by the end of the day
We'll be all high fives and handshakes
When we see what a difference A plan makes
'Cause everything starts
With a plan
Helpsters, our goal is to help Artist Andrew and Detective Dudley
play a game they both like.
What happens now?
Well, now we just, you know,
go around and ask for ideas to make a plan.
I like how you run this place.
Thank you so much, sir.
Now, who's got an idea?
-Right there. -Yes, Mr. Primm?
First, we need to invent a game that both gentlemen like.
-Oh, yeah, that's a great idea. Yeah. -Sounds good.
Okay. So, job one:
Invent a game that Andrew and Dudley both like.
I have an idea.
Well, let's hear it, Heart.
Okay. In order to play the game, we will need supplies.
-Like how you think. Bingo. -Yes.
Yes, I like how you think too, Heart.
And that is job two:
Get supplies to play the game.
And since we're making a new game,
we'll need to teach Andrew and Dudley how to play it.
This is so fun.
Okay, so, that is job three:
Teach Andrew and Dudley to play the game.
We have our plan.
-Now what happens? -We sing.
I love singing, but not as much as drawing.
Back there was the first time I ever sang in my life,
so I'm excited to do it again.
Well, that's great.
-Just follow us, okay? -Okay.
We've got the plan, got the plan
We've figured it out We've got the plan
What happens when we've got the plan?
We give a happy shout Just 'cause we can
All right.
So, now let's get to job one.
Invent a game Andrew and Dudley both like.
-Okay. -Yes.
Now, Andrew, Dudley, while we work out this plan here,
why don't you hang out with Jackie in the beautiful view room?
Yeah.
Most beautiful view I've ever seen.
All right, palsies.
So, what do we think is a game that both Andrew and Dudley will like?
Well, Dudley is a detective, so he uses clues to figure things out.
So he must like guessing.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. And Andrew is an artist, so I bet he likes to draw.
So if we come up with a game that has guessing and drawing,
then they'll both like it?
What?
If Artist Andrew draws something...
But Andrew does not tell Dudley what he is drawing.
Then Detective Dudley has to guess what it is.
And when Dudley guesses it, they both win.
This game has everything.
It has guessing and drawing.
Then they'll both like it!
And we should call this game Guess That Drawing.
Invent a game that Andrew and Dudley both like.
Check.
One job done, two more to go.
Okay, so let's get the supplies we need for Guess That Drawing.
-Yeah. -Yes.
Now, Detective Dudley will need somewhere to sit.
Yeah.
Mr. Primm, would you like to find something to sit on?
Would be an honor.
-Fantastic. -Yes.
Okay, and Artist Andrew will need something to draw with,
-like a pencil, or a marker, or a-- -On it.
Great, buddy bud. That's fantastic.
And, oh. Yeah.
Heart, Artist Andrew will also need something to draw on, like--
I will do this!
Okay, yeah-- like paper, or a sketchpad, or...
Okay, now, how should I do this? Guess that drawing.
-Guess-- -We're back!
I've got something to sit on.
-I've got something to draw with. -And something to draw on.
Well, first of all, Mr. Primm, that is a wonderful chair.
It is perfect. Let's keep that.
But, buddy bud, that pencil's a little too big.
And, Heart, where is the paper?
It is a sketchbook.
Well, that sketchbook is way too small.
Would you two mind looking for something else?
-Okay. -Great.
And I shall stay here and lounge on this stunning chair.
We're back.
-Something to draw with. -And something to draw on.
Okay, now that is too small, and that is way too big.
And I am still perfect.
I mean my chair here is still perfect.
I need to be clearer with my instructions this time.
Now, how about you get something in between
the big and small things you found?
-We can do this. -Okay.
And I will continue loving this chair.
What a comfortable way to spend this part of the afternoon.
We're back!
Perfect.
Just like this chair.
Get supplies to play the game.
Check.
Two jobs done, one more to go.
Now let's gather our players.
Artist Andrew and Detective Dudley, are you ready to play...
Guess That Drawing?
-Yes. -So ready.
We will explain the sequence.
That means the order in which things happen.
-Yep. -I love a good explanation.
First, Detective Dudley sits in that perfect chair
provided by the perfect Mr. Primm.
-This is perfect. -Right?
Next, we whisper a thing for Artist Andrew to draw.
Then, Artist Andrew, you draw it.
Last, Detective Dudley guesses what that thing is.
Got it. So, if Artist Andrew draws something, then I guess it?
Yes.
-And if he guesses right, then we win? -Yes.
Or else, I keep guessing?
That's right.
Teach Andrew and Dudley the game. Check.
All the jobs are done.
Now all that's left to do is to play the game. Are you ready?
I can't wait. I can't wait!
All right, Helpsters, let's tell Artist Andrew what to draw.
All right.
-Okay. -Yay.
Yeah, yeah.
-It's a circle. -No.
No, no, no, no. It's a avocado.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's an avocado with a tail.
-Good try. -It's an avocado with a hook.
-Coming along. -No. Cactus.
-Come on. Maybe. -Cactus.
-Cactus with triangles. -Close. Yeah.
It's a cactus with whiskers.
-It's a-- a cat! Cat! -Yeah. Cat! Cat!
-Cat! -Yes! Yes!
You got it!
-Yeah! -Yep! Yep!
Yes!
I really like that game.
I'm so glad.
We should play this game all the time.
Hey.
They are good friends.
-Yeah. -Helpsters, don't know how to thank you.
Oh, you're very welcome.
We did it, everybody.
Yeah, we did.
What?
See if you can guess what I am now drawing.
I know what that is.
It's an old, familiar song.
High fives and handshakes
What a difference a plan makes
Had a big, tricky problem At the start of the day
Made a plan and the problem Started melting away
-Hooray! -No matter how hard
No matter how new
No matter how tangled up And tough to get through
What a difference a plan makes
High fives and handshakes
Whoo!
High fives and handshakes
-Ah-wugga woo. -High fives and handshakes
All right.
Oh, man, we did it.
What do Helpsters do at the end of the day?
We make music!
Yeah, we do.
And today we're gonna make a brand-new song about grilled cheese sandwiches.
However, we will not use instruments.
Places, everyone.
All right.
Oh, wait. We almost started without our special guest.
Helpsters!
Ingrid Michaelson!
Helpsters, we shall begin looping our sounds when Ingrid tells us,
and we shall stop looping when she stops singing.
Sounds good?
-Sounds great. -I'm ready.
Scatter, take it away.
Heart?
Mr. Primm.
Cody.
I like grilled cheese sandwiches Just butter, bread and cheese
And this is what my grandma says When she grills one up for me
She says, "Please pass the spatula So I can flip it upside down"
And I say, "That's spectacular It's a cheesy lunch meltdown"
It's a cheesy lunch meltdown It's a cheesy lunch meltdown
Oh, Ingrid, that song was so delicious, I wanna eat it.
-You're so sweet. -Thank you so much.
