The transcript to that one episode of Rubbadubbers where Amelia wishes she was in charge


 * (Reg is in the hallway)
 * Reg: All clear. The children have gone.
 * (cut to: the Rubbadubbers being babies)
 * Terence: Ooh, comfy beds! Is there one for me?
 * Tubb: Well, Benjie and Sis would have made you one, Terence.
 * Sploshy: But they've gone to meet the babysitter.
 * Finbar: Have my bed! The mighty Finbar, terror of the deep...in a baby's bed? Arr, arr, arr! What if another shark saw me?
 * Winona: Eek, eek!
 * Sploshy: You're right, Winona. Lying on these beds feels like floating on clouds. Let's play babies all day long.
 * Tubb: Swimmin' idea, Sploshy!
 * (Amelia flies over them)
 * Amelia: Eeeoowww!
 * Terence: Oh help!
 * Amelia: Look out below! Coming through! Eeeooowww!
 * Tubb: Amelia, watch out!
 * Amelia: I am!
 * Terence: I'm going to get wet! I just know it!
 * Amelia: Whoops!
 * Terence: Oh no!
 * (Amelia falls into the bath and splashes them.)
 * Tubb: Ugh, yuck!
 * Finbar: Good thing you were watching out. Arr, arr. Not!
 * Amelia: Sorry.
 * Winona: Eek, eek.
 * Sploshy: Do you have to fly now?
 * Amelia: Yes. Afraid so.
 * Terence: Can't you wait until we've finished playing babies?
 * Amelia: No.
 * Tubb: You must. We want you to.
 * Finbar: I don't.
 * Amelia: That's not fair. Why do you get to choose? If only I was in charge, then I'd get to tell everyone what to do.
 * (Thought bubble transition to the cloud world)
 * Sploshy (offscreen): Babysitter, Baby Sploshy is boooored! Babysitter, tell me what to do!
 * (Amelia flies to Sploshy.)
 * Amelia: Babysitter?! Are you talking to me? Me? Of course! I said "if only", so now I'm really in charge.
 * Sploshy: Baby Sploshy is boooored! You have to tell me what to do.
 * Amelia: Oh, why don't you err... read your book?
 * (Sploshy tries to jump up to another cloud to reach her book, but she cannot reach it.)
 * Sploshy: But I can't reach it.
 * (Sploshy continues to jump up in attempt to reach her book.)
 * Amelia: Careful, you'll fall! I'll get it for you.
 * (Amelia flies to Sploshy's book when she hears Terence crying.)
 * Terence: Yuck! Babysitter, Baby Terence is all wet! Babysitter, tell me what to do!
 * Amelia: Sorry, Sploshy, I'll have to help Baby Terence. I'll be right back.
 * (Amelia flies to Terence's cloud.)
 * Terence: Uh, babysitter, my cloud's full of rain!
 * Amelia: Oh, um, is that bad?
 * Terence: Of course it's bad; I'm all wet! I hate being wet! Oh, oh, tell me what to do.
 * Amelia: Uh... oh--
 * Sploshy: I want my book, babysitter!
 * Amelia: Coming, Baby Sploshy! (to Terence) Keep hopping. I’ll be right back.
 * (Amelia tries to fly on over to Sploshy’s cloud. Meanhwhile, Finbar and Winona are fighting over their cloud.)
 * Finbar: Arr! This is the mighty Baby Finbar’s cloud! Arr, arr, arr! Go away, Baby Winona.
 * (Amelia turns to Finbar and Winona.)
 * Amelia: Oh, now what?
 * Winona: Eeee, eeeee!
 * Finbar: I said, arrr, arrr, arrr, go away!
 * (Winona goes inside their cloud.)
 * Finbar: Babysitter, baby Winona is in my cloud! Tell her to get her own cloud!
 * (Winona pops back up.)
 * Amelia: Can’t you share it?
 * Finbar: No, no, no! I was here first!
 * (Winona goes in, then goes out of the cloud.)
 * Finbar: It’s my arr, arr, cloud
 * Winona: Eek eek!
 * Amelia: Don’t push, you’ll fall!
 * Tubb: (offscreen) Help, help!
 * (Tubb has his head stuck in a cloud.)
 * Tubb: Hello? I can’t see a thing!
 * Amelia: Oh, no! Not another one!
 * Tubb: (spitting) Blech!
 * (Amelia flies to Tubb’s cloud.)
 * Tubb: Baby Tubb is stuck, babysitter. Tell me what to do!
 * (Finbar and Winona continue fighting.)
 * Finbar: Hey, you, arr, arr, arr, get off of my cloud.
 * Amelia: Oh, stop, wait!
 * (Amelia flies back to Finbar and Winona’s cloud. They are hanging from their cloud.)
 * Tubb: Help me, babysitter! Yuck, pooh!
 * Amelia: Oh, no! Look, you two hang on until you get back.
 * Tubb: Help, help!
 * Amelia: Don’t worry, just keep still.
 * (Amelia pushes onto Tubb’s head, attempting to get the cloud off.)
 * Tubb: But babysitter— agh, ow! You’re pushing my head off.
 * (Amelia stops pushing Tubb’s head.)
 * Sploshy: Help! I’m falling! I’m falling!
 * (Sploshy is hanging from her book’s cloud.)
 * Amelia: Baby Sploshy!
 * Sploshy: You didn’t come back, so I tried to get my book, and…
 * Amelia: Hang on, I’ll be right there!
 * Terence: Ahem, I can’t keep hopping! Tell me what to do!
 * Amelia: Oh, baby Terence.
 * Finbar: It’s my cloud, arr, arr, arr!
 * Winona: Eek, eek, eek!
 * (Everyone all shouts simultaneously.)
 * Amelia: Oh, no! Why did I have to be in charge?
 * Tubb: Help! Pooh!
 * Sploshy: I’m falling!
 * Terence: Baby Terence is all wet!
 * Sploshy: Help! I’m falling!
 * Finbar: It’s not fair! Arr-arr-arr!
 * Terence: I’m all wet! Tell me what to do!
 * Amelia: All right, I’ll tell you what to do! Be quiet!
 * (The babies all quiet down.)
 * Amelia: Right. Now, maybe I can think.
 * Terence: Oh.
 * (A song begins playing in the background.)
 * Amelia: It’s never, ever, easy telling people what to do. It’s never, ever, easy when the one in charge is you.
 * (Cut to: The babies’ problems.)
 * Finbar: Arr, arr, arr!
 * Tubb: Help, help!
 * Winona: Eee-eee-eee-eee-eee!
 * Amelia: Why can’t it just be simple? Why can’t they work it out? I can’t do everything at once, while they just play about.
 * (Cut to the babies’ problems.)
 * Finbar: Arr-arr-arr!
 * Tubb: Help!
 * Terence: Terence is all wet!
 * Sploshy: Help!
 * Tubb: Help, help!
 * Amelia: It’s never ever easy when the one in charge is you. But I can work this whole thing out, now I know what to…
 * (Sploshy falls off of the cloud.)
 * Sploshy: Help!
 * Amelia: Oh, no! Baby Sploshy!
 * (Amelia flies to her rescue, catches her, and returns to her cloud.)
 * Amelia: Yes! Now stay here and don’t move! I’ll help the others.
 * (Amelia flies over to Tubb’s cloud.)
 * Amelia: I’ve got it! Hold still!
 * (Amelia blows the cloud off of Tubb’s head.)
 * Tubb: Ah, phew.
 * (Amelia turns her propeller to Terence and his cloud and dries him up.)
 * Terence: Ahh, oh, much better.
 * (Amelia flies to Finbar and Winona’s cloud.)
 * Finbar: And just remember, arr, arr, arr, this is my cloud.
 * (Amelia blows her propeller and separates Finbar and Winona.)
 * Finbar: Arr-arr-arr arr-arr-arr.
 * Sploshy: I’m safe.
 * Terence: I’m dry.
 * Tubb: I’m free.
 * Finbar: I’m alone.
 * Winona: Eee-eee.
 * Amelia: I’m pooped.
 * Tubb: Thank you, babysitter. That was swimmin’!
 * Sploshy: Yes, but I’m still bored. What are we going to do now?
 * Amelia: Now?
 * Babies: Babysitter! Babysitter! Tell us what to do! Tell us what to do!
 * Amelia: Oh, if only I wasn’t in charge!
 * (Thought bubble transition back to the bathroom.)
 * Amelia: Phew! Maybe now I can get some rest!
 * Finbar: That’s it! The mighty Finbar has had enough! Arr-arr-arr! I’m finished playing babies.
 * (Amelia yawns.)
 * Tubb: Amelia, you can practice your flying now.
 * Terence: I’m not finished being a baby.
 * Finbar: Go for it, Amelia.
 * Amelia: But I would rather lie down in a nice, soft, bed.
 * Finbar: Mighty me! Arrr, you can’t be serious.
 * Sploshy: Of course she isn’t, Finbar. She’s just teasing. Come on, Amelia, you love flying!
 * Tubb: Yeah, it’s your turn to be in charge. Go on.
 * Amelia: But, but…
 * Reg: Rubbadubbers! Rubbadubbers! The children are co-co-co-almost here! Bath time scramble!
 * Finbar: The mighty shark is saved by bath time. Arr, arr, arr! Throw us a bubble, Terence!
 * Tubb: Swimmin’! It’s bath time!
 * Amelia: Oh, good. It’s Baby Amelia time.
 * (Amelia falls asleep.)
