"The Curious Case of Lil' Liz."
17, 18, 19, 20!
Phew!
One minute and nine seconds!
That's three seconds longer than last time.
I wonder why?
Yeah, Lil' Liz. Cool! Work it. Sweet.
Nice pose!
-Hmm. -Hey, Ada, wanna play with Lil' Liz?
Um… No, thanks!
I got a pet lizard and you're not trying to figure out science-y stuff?
You don't care that she can walk upside-down?
Well, that is kind of cool.
How does she do that? Why doesn't she fall off?
That's the Ada I know.
Lizards have tiny hairs on their feet that work like suction cups.
-See? -I can see her.
I mean, that's okay. I'm good.
Ada? Are you scared of Lil' Liz?
Who, me?
No, of course not.
Maybe. There's something about lizards that gives me the heebie-jeebies.
I guess lizards aren't for everyone.
-Hey, son, we've got tennis practice. -Oh, yeah. I forgot.
That never happens. You must really love your new lizard.
She's so funny, Dad. And cool. And cute.
But here I come.
If you can part with your lizard now, we'll be on time. Meet me in the car.
Can you watch Lil' Liz until I get back?
Um… Heebie-jeebies, remember?
Please? I don't want her to be too lonely while I'm gone.
Aww. You really love her, don't you?
Okay, I'll do it.
I'll make it up to you. Teach you a magic trick?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh, the latch is kind of funny.
If you take her out of her cage, make sure it's locked.
I'm not going to take her out of the cage, but okay.
So, how's it goin'?
Ugh!
-Hi, Ada! -Hi!
-Hi, Iggy! Hi, Rosie! -When did you get a pet lizard?
I didn't. I'm watching Lil' Liz for Arthur.
I love lizards.
-Really? -You do?
Don't look so surprised.
I know I'm scared of birds. And mice. And most small animals.
But not lizards. Can we play with her?
Um… Sure.
-Awesome! -Whoo-hoo!
Aww!
-She's so cute! -She likes to play.
Hey, come play with us, Ada.
Stay back.
Ada, are you scared?
That's ridiculous, Rosie. Ada's not scared of anything.
Well, lizards kind of give me the heebie-jeebies.
Are we in a weird alternate universe?
Ada is scared of a small animal and I'm not?
-Mind blown. -I know.
But everyone has their something. My mum always says that.
Let's do something else together.
Okay. Will you put Lil' Liz back in her cage for me?
-Sure. -Aww!
Phew. Come on!
-Want to jump rope? -Yeah!
The latch is kind of funny,
so if you take her out of her cage, make sure it's locked.
-What's wrong? -Ada?
I forgot to make sure the cage door was locked!
-Lil' Liz is gone! -Nope. Not in there.
I can't believe this. I was supposed to watch her for Arthur and I got her lost.
Don't worry. I mean, yeah, I'd worry. But still, we'll find her.
We have to find Lil' Liz. What are we going to do?
Here, Lil' Liz. Here, girl!
I'm pretty sure that only works for dogs. And some dragons.
Wait. I know!
Maybe putting food out will get her to come.
A tuna sandwich?
Mooshu comes for tuna. She'll eat anything.
One time, she even ate a…
-Do you think Mooshu… -No…
Mooshu, I don't actually think you did this.
We just want the truth.
Mooshu, did you or did you not eat Lil' Liz?
Yes or no?
She's eating the tuna, which means she's hungry.
Which means she probably didn't eat Lil' Liz.
I knew it!
Mooshu's innocent.
But just to be safe, let's keep you in my room for now.
I'm keeping my eye on you.
What if we don't find her before Arthur gets back?
-Maybe it's not him? -I'm home!
-It's him. -I'll check on Lil' Liz.
My stomach's doing flippity-flops. What are you going to do?
-I don't know! -Lil' Liz! I'm back. I missed you.
-Hey, Arthur. -Hello!
Everything's fine! Nothing to see here.
-Why's that sheet over Lil' Liz's cage? -She's taking a nap.
We covered it so it would be nice and dark.
She likes to nap in the sun.
A lizard has a right to change her mind, am I right?
What's going on?
Arthur, I need to tell you something.
I lost Lil' Liz.
What do you mean? You said you'd take care of her.
I know. We put her in the cage,
but I didn't check the lock, and then she was gone.
I'm so sorry, Arthur.
Okay, Arthur. You're the big brother. Set a good example.
Oh my gosh! I can't believe Lil' Liz is gone!
I know you didn't mean it.
She's got to be here somewhere, so let's find her.
-How? We've looked everywhere. -Tried everything.
-Hmm… -Hey, we haven't tried science.
Oh! He's right.
I was so upset, I forgot the thing we use to figure stuff out. Science.
-We need the scientific method. -Yeah!
Scientific method!
We have an observation
So we'll start with a question
-Do research -Form a hypothesis
And test with experiments
What do we find out?
Let's draw a conclusion
And write it all down And pass around the results
That's the scientific method!
We already observed that Lil' Liz is gone. So next, we research.
Arthur, you're an expert on Lil' Liz. Tell us everything you can about her.
She's weird. In a good way.
Like, she can smell with her tongue. And she's sweet. And so curious.
She has the cutest little legs that she uses to walk upside-down.
-What treats does she like? -Berries and lettuce.
-What's her favourite thing to play? -Hide-and-seek.
She loves sunbathing, but not too long. She likes when I spray water to cool her.
She sounds… fascinating.
I've been trying to tell you!
We've got to find Lil' Liz.
I've got a hypothesis.
If we use the information we learned from Arthur, we can find Lil' Liz.
-We need a brainstorm. -You brainstorm, I'll look around.
Maybe Lil' Liz ran off to play hide-and-seek
with some neighbourhood friends,
which means we just have to find which backyard they're in.
Lil' Liz is new to the neighbourhood.
-She wouldn't have friends yet. -True.
We could walk around with berries in our pockets.
-Maybe she'll smell them and come out. -Lizards smell with their tongues.
If we're not close, it won't matter.
Hmm.
What if we made something with all her favourite things
and see if we can get her to come?
That could work. Like a lizard lounge or something.
Oh, oh, oh! I can design a great lizard lounge.
-We need a solid foundation. -Lettuce and berries.
-And a spray bottle. -A place for sunbathing.
And shade for when it gets too hot.
-Nice! -Let's build this thing!
Welcome to Liz's Luxurious Lizard Lounge!
-Whoa! -It has beautiful natural light.
There's a lovely umbrella to block the sun.
-Cool! -And a spray bottle to cool her off.
-Aww! -It's stocked with Liz's favourite treats.
And these rocks are perfect for lounging and playing.
Wow! It's perfect!
If I were a lizard, I'd love it.
Looks really cool.
Let's see if this lizard lounge will get Lil' Liz back.
Uh…
Oh! That's a perfect place for it.
-Location, location, location. -Shh!
Guys! Look!
-Lil' Liz! -There she is! Awesome!
She's back!
-Whoo-hoo! -I'm so glad you're okay, Lil' Liz.
-Me too. I'm sorry I nearly lost her,. -No more heebie-jeebies?
Now I know why you love her so much, she's not so heebity-jeebity.
But I do have a few more questions.
Why are her eyes like that? Is her tail strong? How big will she get?
Why'd you name her Liz? Does she have a middle name?
That's my sister, the scientist.
So many questions!
"Cat on a Hot Twist Roof."
Remember, don't look down.
-Whoa! -Uh-oh!
Shouldn't have looked.
-I wonder who got highest. -Let's ask our judge.
You're right. Only one way to settle this.
Rematch!
Ugh, do we have to?
-Hi, Arthur. -What's in the bag?
Oh, this? It's just a little thing I like to call…
Air Force Awesome!
It's beautiful!
Careful! It took me weeks of saving my paper-round money to get this.
Now I finally have it, I've been counting the minutes till I can fly it.
How can it fly if it doesn't have wings?
Secret jet thrusters? Anti-gravity buttons?
Tiny invisible magic reindeer pulling it?
Or the propellers spin really fast until it floats in the air.
My mum flew them in the Air Force.
-Oh yeah! -So cool!
But how many times do the propellers have to spin?
Can it do back flips? Fly upside-down? Do loop-de-loops?
Does the sleek design make it super fast?
-Can I fly it? -Can I?
Only three people get to fly Air Force Awesome.
Me, Captain Myself, and Commander I!
But that's all the same person. You.
Exactly. Now if you'll excuse me,
Commander I will now fly.
Gah! As soon as I get batteries.
Since Mum and Dad are out, I'm in charge.
When I come back, Air Force Awesome better be where I left it.
Don't even think about touching it.
-Hi! -Hmm.
Arthur's back!
Let me fly it. I'll make you a pillow fluffer.
-Nope! -What if I gave you a chef-made sandwich?
-Mm-mm. -Let your favourite sister have a turn?
-For science. -I fluff my own pillows,
your mum's a great chef, and you're my only sister.
-The answer is still no. -But why?
Because I've been saving up for this forever.
Because it's not a toy for kids.
Because…
It's gone!
It was just here.
Stay calm, Arthur.
Where is my Air Force Awesome?
Mooshu took it!
It's okay.
We'll get you down, Mooshu.
And my helicopter! But we're not allowed to use the ladder with Mum and Dad gone.
Hmm. We need a brainstorm.
You brainstorm, I'm going to try something.
Brainstorm, brainstorm!
Throw in every thought you had No idea is ever bad
Brainstorm, brainstorm!
Gather friends To find the how, the what, the why
Brainstorm, brainstorm!
Let our imaginations Become great new creations
When we brainstorm, brainstorm Brainstorm, brainstorm!
Hey!
Hmm. I could dress up as a mouse and get Mooshu to chase me.
But you're afraid of mice.
Yeah, it wouldn't work if I scared myself.
We can make a kitty bounce house out of pool tubes.
Mooshu will see it and want to bounce. Then one of us can catch her.
-But are pool tubes bouncy enough? -Hmm.
Short answer, no.
I have a way more practical idea. Giant cat tree, with catnip all over it.
But do we need to be giants to make a giant cat tree?
That, or we need a giant ladder,
which we definitely can't use 'cause we're not allowed.
Well, my kitty-capture racket tower was a fail.
Sounds like you haven't come up with anything good.
-No. -Afraid not.
Hmm. Well, how about a little extra motivation?
-First to get my copter down can fly it. -I don't know…
-Re-rematch! -Whoo-hoo!
-Yeah! -And I'll keep trying too.
I have another trick up my sleeve.
Hmm.
Maybe I could float Mooshu down with balloons!
Rosie Rule number 32.
Always have balloons on hand.
Think, Iggy. What do cats like? Hmm.
Cats like tuna. And so do Iggys.
I'll tempt her with tuna and make a fishing rod to reel her in.
Aww. Mooshu's trying to take a nap.
It can't be comfortable up there. That's it! Mooshu loves her kitty bed.
Maybe she'll come down if I make her one she can't resist.
The Amazing Arthur-Cadabra will enchant Mooshu with a magic trick!
Nothing up my sleeves. See?
Ta-da!
Come to the light, Mooshu.
Come on.
Mooshu, you usually like that trick.
Aww, she's scared.
Why do cats love to climb up things but not down?
Out of the way, everyone.
Because Rosie Revere is going to win this competition
and fly that copter.
All Mooshu has to do is grab my balloons and float on down.
That's if I can get them off the ground.
Mooshu, look what I've got!
Don't you want to come down from that uncomfortable roof
to your new, fancy, queen-sized kitty bed?
This limited-time offer includes the fluffiest cushions
and space to stretch out for a purr-fect tummy rub.
Act now while supplies last.
Come on, Mooshu. Come on.
I almost had her.
I'll try. I hope she takes my bait. Let's go!
-Huh? -Eww!
-Iggy! -Oh, man.
-Sorry I tuna'd you. Gotta work on my aim. -Gross. I'm going to get it off my head.
-Well, my balloons were a bust. -My kitty bed was a snooze.
-And my fishing rod didn't reel Mooshu in. -Aah!
I guess none of us are flying Arthur's helicopter.
Hey, we're scientists. We don't quit.
We need to figure out how to get balloons to float.
The comfy kitty bed was a great idea,
but maybe it was too far for Mooshu to leap.
The fishing rod with tuna-fish bait was genius, Iggy.
You just need to work on your aim.
If there was a way Mooshu could see my basket…
My balloons could float it up, if they floated.
But how do we get Mooshu in the basket?
Once the basket's up there, we can reel her in with my fishing rod. Oh.
-Hmm. -If I get the aim right.
Hmm. That's what we were missing. Each other.
Let's put our ideas together to get Mooshu and Arthur's helicopter off that roof.
-I love it! -No more competition? Yes!
But if you put your ideas together, how can one of you win?
Don't you all wanna fly Air Force Awesome?
I really do, but the more important thing
is getting Mooshu and your helicopter down.
That would be super awesome.
Okay, you work it out. I'm going to try one more thing.
Okay, team. Loading the lab.
According to my Big Book of Discoveries and Inventions,
-things float when lighter than air. -What's lighter than air?
Feathers!
But we can't fill the balloon with feathers.
Nope.
But we can fill it with something like… helium!
It's one of the lightest gases. Party balloons use it. It makes them float.
Amazing.
Ta-da!
Let's blow up some balloons!
Whoo-hoo! With these babies, I'll float Mooshu down in no time!
-Helium makes your voice sound funny. -Yes! I want to try it!
Oh, me too, me too!
We need enough balloons to float the basket.
Yeah. Then my fishing rod.
-Whoa! -Ah!
We just need bait for my hook. I'm all out of tuna fish.
Mooshu.
I brought your favourite toy, Mr Cuddles.
Hmm…
Great idea using Mr Cuddles as bait. Now, let's do this!
-Oh, yeah! -Yes!
-Whoo-hoo! -Awesome!
We used a lot of balloons to be able to carry the basket and Mooshu.
And the best part… Because we're using a hook, not a fishing rod,
I don't have to worry about my aim.
Come to Mr Cuddles, Mooshu. You know you want your favourite toy!
It worked!
-Yes! -I can breathe.
The kitty is in the basket.
-You did it! -Yeah!
Thank you!
-We're so happy you're safe, Mooshu. -Yeah, you silly kitty.
Air Force Awesome's back. And with only a little bit of drool on it.
But a deal's a deal. All of you got my helicopter down, so who wins?
It can do tricks!
It's super fast!
Propellers are an amazing invention.
-Thanks for letting us fly, Commander. -We're all commanders today.
-Thanks for getting it back. -No problem.
-Of course. -You're welcome.
-Awesome! -Wow!
-Definitely worth the wait. -Totally! Definitely!
[child] No, no!
Okay.
