Transcript

Ruby: Come on, Max! We're going to watch Baby Huffington during his nap time. We'll have to be very very quiet, so he doesn't wake up. It's going to be fun!

Ruby: Don't worry. I've brought some toys for you to play with.

Mrs Huffington: Ruby! Max! You're here! Come on in!

[They enter Baby Huffington's room; Baby Huffington is napping in his crib]

Mrs Huffington: Baby Huffington is asleep.

Ruby: And our job is to make sure he stays that way.

Mrs Huffington: Right!

Max: Quiet!

Ruby: That's right, Max!

Mrs Huffington: I've left a snack for you in the kitchen if you get hungry and I'll be right out here in the gardens if you need me.

Ruby: Don't worry, Mrs H. You can count on us.

Mrs Huffington: Thanks, Ruby!

[Mrs. Huffington exits; suddenly, Max turns on the radio]

Ruby: Max! No, Max! You can't turn the radio on. That'll wake Baby Huffington. [she turns the radio off] Come on! Let's go check and make sure Baby Huffington is still asleep.

[They go upstairs; Baby Huffington is still sleeping]

Ruby: Remember, Max. You have to be quiet.

Max: Quiet!

Ruby: Good! He's sleeping like a baby. Come on, Max! And remember. Shh.

Max: Shh.

[They go back downstairs]

Ruby: I brought my brand new dolly to play with, Little Miss Miracle. It's a miracle, all the things she can do. And I brought some quiet toys for you to play with, Max. Here's Slinky Snake.

Ruby: You have to play quietly, Max, so, we don't wake Baby Huffington, remember. Shh. Playing with Little Miss Miracle is quiet. And it's good practice for babysitting Baby Huffington. She's just like a real live baby. See. If you lie her down, she closes her eyes. Just like Baby Huffington. And if you stand her up again, her eyes open. Isn't she great, Max? Max? Oh no! I hope we didn't wake Baby Huffington. Phew. He's still sleeping. Come on, Max! And from now on, remember, no noises. Shh.

Max: Shh.

Ruby: That was close!

[Suddenly, Max turns on the radio again]

Ruby:  Oh, no, you don't, Max! [turns it off] That radio is too noisy. Look, I've brought another quiet toy for you. You can play with them, while I play with Little Miss Miracle. She even has her own Little Miss Miracle hairbrush. And Max. Look what happens when you push this button here. Her hair grows longer. Isn't that a miracle, Max? Max? Oh, no, you don't. Okay! We'll have to find something else that's quiet for you to do. Hmm. I know. Mrs Huffington said she left a snack in the kitchen. Why don't you go get it for us. And Max. Remember. Shh.

Max: Shh.

Ruby: You want to have a snack too. Don't you, Little Miss Miracle? And you need a bib around your neck just like Baby Huffington does. There! Now, you're all ready for your snack. Hmm. I wonder what's taking Max so long. Max! What are you doing? Max? Max! Oh no! Hope we didn't wake Baby Huffington.

Max: Shh.

Ruby: It's okay. He's still asleep. Let's go eat our snacks in the kitchen, Max, and remember. Shh.

Max: Shh.

Ruby: Eating snacks was a good quiet thing to do. Now, it's time to feed Little Miss Miracle her snack. Come on, Max! Uh-uh.

Max: Shh.

Ruby: From now on, you're playing with me and Little Miss Miracle. So, I can make sure you're quiet. Little Miss Miracle eats just like we do. All you do is push another button and she swallows like a real baby. Here! Hold her and I'll show you how. It's one of these buttons back here.

[She presses a button. But she accidentally presses the wrong one. Suddenly, Little Miss Miracle begins walking, talking loudly, and --by extension-- cries like a real baby.]

Little Miss Miracle: (electronic speaking) Waah! Waah! I'm Little Miss Miracle! Waah! Waah! I'm Little Miss Miracle. Waah! Waah! Waah!

Ruby: I pushed the wrong button!

[She hears Baby Huffington crying. The scene cuts to the baby's room. Baby Huffington has woken up. And he is crying in his cradle. Cut back to Ruby in the living room.]

Ruby: (gasps) OH NO!

[Ruby --after saying this-- admits that she accidentally woke up Baby Huffington. That is, as she next says...!]

Ruby: I WOKE UP BABY HUFFINGTON!

[She quickly runs upstairs to calm down Baby Huffington and get him back to sleep. The scene cuts back to Max and the toy Little Ms. Miracle.]

Little Miss Miracle: (electronic speaking) I can talk and I can sleep. I can walk and I can eat. I'm Little Miss Miracle. Waah! Waah! Waah!

Max: (to the toy Little Ms. Miracle) Shh. Quiet!

(Little Ms. Miracle winds down and becomes quiet --after Max asks her to be quiet-- and the episode ends.)
