Robot: What is your number?
Fred: Is it me, or is that a talking
vacuum cleaner?
Robot: What is your number?
Sam: That?s not a vacuum cleaner.
That?s a robot! It?ll probably blast us if we
don?t give it some numbers!
Robot: What is your number?
Joe: Uh. Sixty-two? Uh. Forty-five.
Uh. Uh. Thirty-seven.
Fred: Hut?
[Robot Noise]
Fred: It worked! It liked your numbers.
[Boys Scream]
Robot: What is your number?
Sam: Don?t shoot! We surrender!
Take us to your leader!
Robot: What is your number?
Sam: Joe, do something!
Joe: I can?t! I?m being suffocated by eighty
pounds of lard!
Sam: Then Frank, do something!
Frank: You uh. You want numbers?
I?ve got numbers! Any of them you want!
Robot: You have five seconds!
Frank: One hundred. Twenty. Six thousand?
Three hundred and
Robot: Five, four, three, two,
[Screams]
[Song] Be careful what you wish for!
GO!
There they go!
Three boys surfing on the time continuum.
There they go!
Green mist fills the air, the book can take
them anywhere!
Go!
There they go!
Three girls warping time it's
2105!
There they go!
You can catch a ride with the
Time Warp Trio.
Go!
Traveling through history
with the Time Warp Trio.
Teacher: Note what this room does not
contain. Is there a television?
Joe: I know. Once again, you?re thinking
Why can?t these guys time travel like
normal people? How come we always get
into so much trouble?
Sam: Stop it!
Fred: Huh?
Sam: You?re making too much noise!
Teacher: Sam, is there a problem?
If you?re finding it difficult to pay attention,
then maybe I should pass out the worksheets.
Boys: Aw
Teacher: Question one on your
worksheet:
List five modernizations that
have made a significant contribution to life
as we know it.
Fred: What?
Sam: List 5 inventions.
Joe: Is pizza an invention?
Fred: Yeah, and the Super Bowl.
Joe: Dental floss.
Fred: The designated hitter.
Teacher: Would anyone care to share
one of their answers?
Sam: Oh, I have one: the bicycle.
It was invented in France, I think. The one
in there is called a high-wheel safety.
Teacher: Fine, thank you.
Sam: And that?s one of Edison?s
earliest phonographs. It played wax
cylinders instead of records.
Teacher: Thank you, Sam.
Sam: And over on the desk there?s a
comptograph, which is like an early
calculator. And you know
Teacher: Thank you, Sam!
Class: Laughter
Teacher: Quiet please. Alright, let?s
continue to the next room.
Joe: Don?t let him bug you Sam.
Hey! What?s this doing here?
Sam: You loaned it to me, remember?
When we were looking at the magic square.
Fred: The what?
Joe: Check it out! It?s really cool! Add up
any three numbers in a straight line and they
always equal 15. You can also use it to time
travel. Just touch the month you want, like
the two for February. And then the day, and
the year. It?s foolproof.
Fred: You mean. We can jump ahead one
month and find out who?s going to win the
world series?
Joe: Uh huh, in theory.
Fred: And you?re just sitting there?
Give me that!
Joe: Hey! Be careful!
Fred: All I do is press the year? Oh, wait.
the month first. Uh. Ten for October, right?
And then what? Maybe a five for the day?
Joe: No you did it completely out of order!
You just sent us 100 years into the future!
Trio: Whoa!
Joe: There?s your answer!
We get into trouble because Fred is a
total idiot!
Robot: [Counting down] One!
Director Green: Oh there you are!
Hey! Stop that! I can?t stand those things!
They?re always trying to sell something.
So! I?m Director Green. And you are. Oh!
Perfect! Love the hat! You?re in the wrong
Room, though! I need you in 2000. Let?s
just transport there, shall we?
Joe: Where are we?
Director Green: I told you, the 2000 room.
Actually to be completely accurate, we?re in
the year 2005. September 17, 2005.
One hundred years ago. Hard to believe, huh?
Why don?t you pretend to be scanning this?
It?s called a book. And this controls the
television. Children used to file data by a
visual interface. Can you imagine? Oops
duty calls. Tata! Good luck!
Sam: Let?s see if I have this straight. We
warped ourselves into the museum, only
we?re 100 years in the future, playing kids
from the past, which is our present.
Fred: Please! You?re hurting my brain!
Joe: Look!
Fred: Quick! Hide!
Joe: Hello, ladies and germs! Welcome to
the dark ages. What you see before you is a
typical boy, raised in the caves of Brooklyn.
Sam: Cut it out! You?ll get us in trouble!
Fred: See, kids? Back 100 years ago, we
were fairly civilized.
Joe: That?s right! We had to walk on our
own two feet!
Fred: And use a computer to do our
homework.
Sam: Stop it! You?re making a mess!
Fred: And we had to keep geeks in every
room, just to keep us from getting too crazy.
[Scream]
Fred: Huh? That can?t be good.
Director Green: [Scream]
Do you know how much historical research
went into that bed? Out! Now! You are fired!
Joe: Hey! That?s the
Director Green: Out!
Trio: Whoa!
[Crash]
Joe: I don?t believe it. How could you not
notice that you were holding the book?
Trio: Man, oh man!
Joe: How is he doing that?
Sam: He must be using some kind of
antigravity device.
Fred: Guys!
Sam: You know, I?ve always wondered if
you could build a hovercraft small enough to
stand on.
Fred: Guys! There are three very strange
girls staring at us. Right there!
Joe: Huh. Wonder what they want.
Fred: Probably our superior male intellect.
Didn?t you see Attack of the Brain Suckers?
Sam: In that case, you?re totally safe, Fred.
They won?t bother with you.
Joe: You know Guys I think its time to
Run!
[Fred screams]
Hot Dog: [singing] Eat Moe?s Hot Dogs.
They?re very good for you. Made of meat
and chicken lips with lots of lard and brainy
bits. They?re guaranteed to cure your zits.
So eat Moe?s Hot Dogs!
Sam: I never thought I?d be hiding from a
wiener.
Fred: All clear!
Joe: Guys this is too weird. We have to get
back into the museum and get the book.
Fred: Hey! I smell pizza. Pizza!
Sam: Wow! Talk about aggressive
advertising.
Fred: And a pepperoni slice. Uh. No. Make
that two, and a regular slice, and a sausage
mushroom slice, uh, and another pepperoni
slice.
Sam: Do you know where we can get some
of those antigravity things?
Pizza Worker: That?ll be $153. Three buck
for the disks, $150 for the pizza.
Fred: Um, how about I pay for the disks and
you guys get the pizza?
Joe: Right. I have a better idea. How about I
make this quarter disappear and you give us
free food?
Pizza Worker: How about I count to five
and you disappear? Five!
Trio: Whoa!
Pizza Worker: Have a nice day!
Fred: You have got to get a better trick.
Sam: Hey guys! Look! Try it.
It?s really easy!
Fred: Whoa! All Right! Yeah!
Check it out!
All you have to do is look where you want
to go and boom! You?re there!
Freddie: Hi!
Fred: Uh, hi! I think. I?ll just be
Guys, move. I mean it! It?s The
Brainsuckers!
Trio: No!
Fred: Watch it!
Joe: Yeah! This is great! Na na na na na na!
Just try and catch me!
Joe: I?m cool! I got it!
Toilet Paper: [Singing] Soft as a cloud your
tush will be, as long as you wipe with sanity!
Fred: Are you ok? Those girls are gaining!
Get up!
Toilet Paper: [Singing] Soft as a cloud your
tush will be, as long as you wipe with sanity!
Trio: Whoa!
Samantha: [Laughing.] What a wipeout!
Don?t you get it? Wipeout!
Fred: Vey funny. Ha, ha.
Samantha: Sorry. I couldn?t help it. I?m
Samantha. And that?s Jodi and Freddi.
Jodi: So, do you want to come to my house?
Joe: Why would we go anywhere with you?
Freddie: Because we?re your
Jodi: Because we have food!
Fred: So, what kind of food exactly? Do you
have pizza? I pretty much like anything as
long as it?s pizza. Except for those anchovy
things.
Jodi: You?ll see. Ready?
Trio: Ow!
Samantha: [Laughs] I?m sorry. I shouldn?t
laugh. It?s not your fault you?re so
incredibly feeb!
Fred: So, what?s with the Band-Aid? Is it
holding your face in place?
Samantha: This? It?s my music. It scans my
retina, senses my mood, and plays what I
want to hear. It takes a minute to warm up.
As soon as it picks us a strong emotion, it?ll
start to play.
[Music plays]
Fred: Not bad!
Jodi: Are you ready to eat?
Joe: You dragged us over here just to make
us eat slugs?
Jodi: No! There was another reason, actually.
Joe: Hey, this is my worksheet. How did you
get this?
Samantha: Turn it over.
Fred: Girls, meet us under Teddy
Roosevelt?s statue at the Museum of Natural
History, on September 17, 2105. It?s a matter of
life and death. Sincerely,
Joe, Sam, and Fred.
Joe: I didn?t write that. Where did you get
this?
Freddie: From a book?
Jodi: I?ll tell this part. When I turned ten, I
got a book from my uncle. It?s something
that?s been passed down in my family for
centuries. In fact, about one century ago, it
was given to my great grandfather. You!
Trio: [Scream]
Fred: Hello! Well. Uh. Nice meeting you,
but we?re due back in Normaltown. Bye.
Freddie: It?s true. And you?re my great
grandfather. And Samantha is this
Sam: Ok, so we fainted. And so would you,
if you suddenly met someone who bas born
after you died. So anyway, we finally started
to believe the girls. ?Cause the truth is they
looked sort of familiar.
Fred: Hey! You guys can tell us stuff; like
who?s going to win the World Series for the
next one hundred years!
Jodi: Are you kidding? That?s completely
against the rules. Don?t you know what
could happen if you possessed information
that could affect the future?
Sam: Ok, whatever. Our main problem was
that we had no way to get it. Their book
disappeared, and our book was stuck in the
museum. But Samantha had the answer right
up her sleeve.
Samantha: It?s a pocket-watch. It used to
belong to you. I?ve added some stuff. And
I?m pretty sure we just dial ourselves back in
time.
Fred: Hey! So what are we waiting for? I?m
starved! Let?s go!
Samantha: Hey! I?ll take you home. I?ve
always wanted to see where I came from.
All set?
Trio: Whoa!
Fred: That was weird.
Sam: Look! It?s Blackbeard!
Samantha: Don?t worry! It?s under control.
Fred: Oh, hey! We missed you Guys.
Great to be back!
Samantha: Can you jiggle it if I move this
thing? The hour hand is stuck.
Fred: Oh, would you give me that?
Trio: Whoa!
Announcer: Bottom of the Nineth. Yankees: six.
Red Sox: five. New York just needs one
more out and they win the pennant.
Fred: Yes! That?s more like it!
Sam: So, we?re in 2106? Guys! Where is
Samantha?
Joe: Sh! Here comes the pitch.
Announcer: Amazing! And the Yankee
curse continues!
Fred: No!
Sam: Come on! We have to find Samantha.
Jodi: Hey! What are you doing here?
Freddi: Are you okay? Where?s Samantha?
Joe: We don?t know. She disappeared.
Samantha: Okay. That was weird. One
minute I was standing in the middle of a
cavalry charge and then it felt like I was
made of air. It was like my arms, my legs,
my whole body. Just vanished.
Jodi: Uh, news flash! Those shoes you
borrowed? They?re gone too.
[Scream]
Samantha: Where are my legs?
Jodi: Where are my shoes?
Sam: Oh, my gosh! Don?t you get it? We?re
here in 2105 and we can?t get home, right?
When we warped in to the future, into 2106,
Samantha vanished. Get it?
Ugh! Just think about it. What would
happen if we got stuck here and couldn?t
get home? What would next year look like?
We?d be there, but Samantha, Freddi, and
Jodi wouldn?t exist. In order for them to be
born, we?d have to go home, get married and
have kids.
Samantha: My hair does not look like that.
Sam: Hey! This is serious! We have to get
the book or you are toast.
Sam: Okay. Here?s the plan. The girls go
this way and we?ll go that way. Once inside,
we?ll blend in with the crowd.
Jodi: Yeah? Then what?
Joe: That?s as far as we got.
Jodi: Ay, ay! Come on!
Museum Worker: People were absolutely
convinced that the loch ness-osaurus did not
exist. But in the year 2056, scientists were
rewarded with this remarkable find.
Sam: Wow! I thought the loch ness monster
was a hoax.
Museum Worker: Alright everyone. Onto the
historical exhibit.
So, just remember that 100 years ago,
children had to download data by visually
scanning words or pictures.
Blue Haired Boy: That?s hard to believe.
Fred: No kidding. It was terrible.
Museum Worker: Now, let?s head to the 1900s
room.
Sam: Anybody see the book?
Samantha: There! On the desk.
Fred: Can?t you just dematerialize the glass
or something?
Samantha: Actually there are such things as
invisa-walls, but they don?t use them in
historical exhibits.
Sam: Then we?ll have to do it the hard way.
[Music plays.]
Samantha: Aah. Now what?
Sam: Well, now we lower someone down.
Joe: Like who?
Freddi: No! I?ll faint. I?ll fall. I?ll faint and
fall.
Fred: It?s got to be you. You?re the smallest.
Freddi: Okay, if you promise to be careful.
Aah!
Fred: Sorry!
Freddi: Okay!
Director Green: What is going on?
[Freddi Screams]
Director Green: Come back here this minute! Do
you hear me? Come back!
[Screams.]
Director Green: Yes. I caught them red-handed.
Grand theft and vandalism.
Joe: You can?t steal something that already
yours.
Director Green: Of course I?m pressing charges.
I?m throwing the book at them. Well, as
quickly as you can. Thank you!
Guard, please take this to the shredder. I
simply will not tolerate any more thieving.
Fred: No, no!
Jodi: We need it!
We can?t be born without it!
Director Green: Sit down this instant! I do not listen
to hooligans.
Who are you people? Don?t move!
I?ll be right back.
Joe: I don?t believe it. We just prevented our
own great-granddaughters from being born.
Fred: Yeah! Not to mention we?re
going to be stuck here forever.
Aw man! My mom is going to kill me.
Sam: Hey, guys! Look what I have!
Fred: Oh, nice. That makes it all worthwhile.
San: No! You?re missing the point! We can
go back in time and stop her from shredding
the book.
Joe: Are you sure about this?
Sam: I think so! Ready?
Director Green: Of course I?m pressing charges.
I?m throwing the book at them.
Joe: Okay, so we were back where we wanted.
Only we forgot one thing: a plan for getting
the book back.
Director Green: Well as quickly as you can.
Thank you!
Joe: Do something!
Fred: Like what?
Driector Green: Guard, take this to the shredder. I
simply will not tolerate any more thieving.
Sam: Wait! I feel sick. Like I?m
going to...you know!
Fred: Upchuck?
Joe: Puke?
Jodi: Regurgitate?
Samantha: Oh! Order chunk output?
Sam: I?m going to vomit!
Director Green: Don?t you dare that is an antique
shag rug. Use this.
Sam: Thank you.
Joe: September 2005. See ya! It was nice
meeting you guys!
Jodi: Adios!
Sam: Are you guys going to be okay?
Jodi: We?ll be fine!
Sam: Good luck!
Joe: So we were right back where we started;
in the middle of Sam?s mess.
Teacher: Oh, boys. I?m waiting! If you don?t
hurry, I?m going to assign you an additional
worksheet.
Joe: Wait! We?re forgetting something.
Fred: What?
Joe: We have to write a note, remember?
How did it go?
Sam: Girls, Meet us
Fred: at the statue of that
Teddy Roosevelt guy.
Sam: Oh! Oh, yeah! Meet us under Teddy
Roosevelt?s statue.
Fred: At the Museum of Natural History.
Sam: On September 17, 2105.
Joe: It?s a matter of life and death.
Teacher: That?s it!
I am definitely giving you a worksheet.
Trio: No!

Discovery Education: And now,
The Time Warp Trio presents:
Real Moments from Real History.
Sam: Here?s today?s Daily Warper:
Mr. Chester?s Worksheet.
Today, we?re playing the inventions game.
Fred has fifteen seconds to match the old
inventions, which are on the left, with
modern, or future inventions, which are on
the right. Ready? Go!
Fred: Okay. So the bicycle and the
antigravity disk are things that you can ride
on. The computer and the weird adding
machine are things that help you do stuff,
like add. Wahoo! Which leaves the
phonograph and Samantha?s eye pad, which
are things that play music. Done!
I am the man!
Sam: You were right, Fred. But you didn?t
have time to do the extra credit.
See? The main point is that inventions
are always improving, mostly by getting
smaller and easier to manage.
If you want to learn more about inventions,
just check out the Time Warp Trio Web site,
