The City Park. Kids are flying kites, others are relaxing and standing around. {{user}}, Scoops, Becky, and Bob (her pet monkey) are walking together.
Narrator: "Just another carefree day in the city as Todd "Scoops" Ming shares his childhood dreams with Becky "WordGirl" Botsford."
Scoops: "Someday I'm gonna work for the top newspaper in the country! A paper that's super-- Um..."
Becky: "Impressive?"
Scoops: "Right! Impressive! Today, roving writer for the Daily Rag. Tomorrow, ace reporter for the Big City Times!" he points at the building housing the newspaper
Becky: "Wow!"
Scoops: "Hey, did you read today's paper?" holds up the Daily Rag so Becky can see it
Becky: "Yes, I, um, meant to mention the layout. And, um... the headlines! Are you using new lettering?" Bob grabs the paper, and starts reading through it.
Scoops: "You hated it."
Becky: "Hate is such a strong word. Accurate, but strong. See, I found it a little, well... dull." Bob yawns as he is reading.
Scoops: "Dull?!" he grabs the paper from Bob
Becky: "Dull in a good way!"
