Transcript for Ep 6. Roxy’s City Odyssey

00:00:04,568 → 00:00:08,831

ROXY: Hey, Wildlifer! Roxy here! And this week... Well, it's just

00:00:08,851 → 00:00:12,274

me! I've been doing lots of exploring in my back garden.

00:00:12,794 → 00:00:15,677

It's easy to forget about all the different kinds of wildlife

00:00:15,697 → 00:00:18,959

you can find right on your doorstep. And as an honorary

00:00:19,059 → 00:00:22,762

Wildlifer, with my very own badge, I want to find it all!

00:00:24,484 → 00:00:26,905

Good morning, Mr. Magpie. How are we today?

00:00:28,327 → 00:00:31,233

I know you can't understand me... But I'm an honorary

00:00:31,333 → 00:00:34,635

Wildlifer. Look, I have a badge and everything.

00:00:36,757 → 00:00:41,260

Someday, I'll be a real Ranger, like Ranger Rae. Able to talk to

00:00:41,360 → 00:00:43,882

animals and everything. Wouldn't that be amazing?

00:00:45,463 → 00:00:48,765

Yes, Mr. Magpie. Squawk. That's what you always say.

00:00:51,647 → 00:00:56,771

What's this? An anthill in my own back garden. Oh, I love

00:00:56,851 → 00:01:00,970

watching ants. You must be the worker, Ants, bringing food and

00:01:01,011 → 00:01:04,453

supplies to the Queen. And look at the size of the leaf that

00:01:04,514 → 00:01:08,457

that Ant's carrying. Ranger Rae did tell me that Ants can lift

00:01:08,457 → 00:01:10,899

up to twenty times their own body weight.

00:01:12,681 → 00:01:16,644

Oh, a Bee! Bye-bye, Ants. I'm going to see what Mrs. Bee is up

00:01:16,724 → 00:01:16,844

to.

00:01:18,806 → 00:01:21,869

Buzz, buzz, buzz! Do you want some help, Mrs. Bee?

00:01:22,949 → 00:01:25,712

I can show you some of the prettiest flowers in my garden.

00:01:27,008 → 00:01:30,571

What about this one here? It's chock full of nectary goodness.

00:01:31,452 → 00:01:32,593

Lots of pollen for the Queen.

00:01:35,675 → 00:01:42,301

Mrs Bee, are you okay? Oh no, Mrs Bee looks quite sick.

00:01:43,462 → 00:01:46,504

I know what she needs. Some tasty sugar water.

00:01:48,806 → 00:01:50,708

Sugar, sugar, sugar, where are you?

00:01:51,048 → 00:01:52,749

MUM: Roxy, what are you doing?

00:01:53,090 → 00:01:55,532

ROXY: I'm just getting some sugar water to help a sick Bee.

00:01:56,356 → 00:01:57,436

MUM: Of course you are.

00:01:59,317 → 00:02:04,058

ROXY: Aha! Sugar. And now to put some on a little saucer of water

00:02:04,178 → 00:02:09,700

and... Voila! Sugar water. The perfect Bee medicine. I'm

00:02:09,720 → 00:02:10,620

coming, Mrs. Bee.

00:02:11,780 → 00:02:15,681

Whoops, I dropped my badge. I'd better get that in a minute. Now

00:02:15,741 → 00:02:18,602

here you go, Mrs. Bee. Some delicious sugar water.

00:02:19,922 → 00:02:23,403

I don't really like sugar water myself. It's more of a Bee

00:02:23,503 → 00:02:27,598

thing. There you go. That'll get you feeling much better and...

00:02:29,920 → 00:02:33,284

Mr. Magpie, don't you dare take my Wildlifer badge!

00:02:35,506 → 00:02:38,929

Oh no, Mr. Magpie, give it back, give it back!

00:02:41,192 → 00:02:46,557

My Wildlifer badge, gone. How am I going to get it back?

00:02:47,938 → 00:02:51,709

I'd better call Ranger Rae. Make sure to drink your sugar water

00:02:51,749 → 00:02:52,770

while I'm gone, Mrs. Bee.

00:02:53,210 → 00:02:56,512

VOICE OVER: Across the many majestic wild spaces of the

00:02:56,572 → 00:03:00,895

United Kingdom, from woods, wetlands, to mountain and heath,

00:03:01,336 → 00:03:05,658

whenever help is needed, one Ranger and her animal friends

00:03:05,939 → 00:03:11,062

always answer the call. It's Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers!

00:03:11,062 → 00:03:12,003

RANGER RAE: I can talk to animals.

00:03:12,183 → 00:03:13,744

It's a Ranger's dream!

00:03:14,224 → 00:03:16,606

THEME TUNE: It's Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers!

00:03:17,186 → 00:03:19,748

RANGER RAE: Say hello to my animal team!

00:03:20,464 → 00:03:23,628

THEME TUNE: With Deer and Fox and Wildcat. Mole and Dragonfly,

00:03:23,648 → 00:03:27,172

Beaver and Bat.

00:03:27,192 → 00:03:29,535

BEAVER: Sound the alarm and we'll come running to you.

00:03:29,955 → 00:03:32,658

DEER: With our animal powers, we'll know what to do.

00:03:33,479 → 00:03:36,282

THEME TUNE: It's Ranger Rae and the Wildlifers!

00:03:36,282 → 00:03:50,589

RANGER RAE: (Phone ring) Ranger Rae speaking.

00:03:51,589 → 00:03:52,810

ROXY: Ranger Rae, it's Roxy.

00:03:53,270 → 00:03:56,532

RANGER RAE: Roxy, so lovely to hear from you. I was just

00:03:56,592 → 00:03:59,914

feeding Paulie the parrot. He injured his wing, so I'm nursing

00:03:59,914 → 00:04:02,415

him back to health. Say hello to Roxy, Paulie.

00:04:02,995 → 00:04:05,537

PAULIE: Hello, Paulie.

00:04:05,537 → 00:04:08,178

ROXY: I understood that. Does that mean I can understand

00:04:08,298 → 00:04:11,860

animals now? It's just I couldn't hear what Mr Magpie

00:04:11,900 → 00:04:14,121

said when he stole my Wildlifer badge.

00:04:14,421 → 00:04:17,523

RANGER RAE: I'm afraid not, Roxy. Paulie just happens to be

00:04:17,543 → 00:04:20,124

your regular talking parrot. Isn't that right, Paulie?

00:04:20,425 → 00:04:21,385

PAULIE: That's right, Paulie.

00:04:21,705 → 00:04:23,466

That's right.

00:04:23,466 → 00:04:25,306

ROXY: Oh, that makes sense.

00:04:25,607 → 00:04:28,768

RANGER RAE: What's this about a Magpie stealing your badge?

00:04:28,808 → 00:04:32,429

ROXY: I'm sorry, Ranger Rae. I didn't mean to lose it. I

00:04:32,469 → 00:04:35,631

dropped it when I was giving a sick Bee some sugar water, and

00:04:35,651 → 00:04:37,632

Mr. Magpie grabbed it and flew away.

00:04:38,292 → 00:04:40,713

RANGER RAE: You don't have to be sorry, Roxy. You were doing the

00:04:40,793 → 00:04:42,754

right thing by helping that sick Bee.

00:04:43,714 → 00:04:46,735

ROXY: How can I ever be a real Ranger if I can't even stop a

00:04:46,795 → 00:04:48,436

bird from taking my badge?

00:04:49,540 → 00:04:52,367

RANGER RAE: Do you know, Roxy, that I wasn't always able to

00:04:52,427 → 00:04:53,249

speak to animals?

00:04:53,731 → 00:04:54,031

ROXY: Really?

00:04:54,653 → 00:04:57,500

RANGER RAE: Really. When I was young, I used to spend all my

00:04:57,580 → 00:05:02,102

time helping animals, just like you. One day, I found a Hedgehog

00:05:02,182 → 00:05:05,803

with an injured paw down by the pond. So I helped it out, and

00:05:05,823 → 00:05:09,384

before I even realised it, I was having a full conversation with

00:05:09,384 → 00:05:10,044

a Hedgehog!

00:05:10,764 → 00:05:12,585

ROXY: How do you help an injured Hedgehog?

00:05:13,325 → 00:05:15,745

RANGER RAE: You just need a nice thick towel to pick it up with,

00:05:15,946 → 00:05:19,226

and a cardboard box to put it in. Then I brought it to the

00:05:19,287 → 00:05:21,467

nearest vet and helped it find its home again.

00:05:22,027 → 00:05:23,608

ROXY: And that's why you can talk to animals?

00:05:24,008 → 00:05:25,008

RANGER RAE: I can't be sure.

00:05:25,388 → 00:05:28,349

But I do know that helping that injured Hedgehog... And seeing

00:05:28,369 → 00:05:32,052

it reunited with its little pups, that was the first time I

00:05:32,113 → 00:05:33,754

felt like a true Ranger.

00:05:34,995 → 00:05:38,398

ROXY: So, you were able to talk to animals after you felt like a

00:05:38,438 → 00:05:39,118

true Ranger?

00:05:39,739 → 00:05:42,221

RANGER RAE: That's how it happened for me. Now, would you

00:05:42,261 → 00:05:44,643

like me to call the Wildlifers so they can help you get your

00:05:44,703 → 00:05:45,303

badge back?

00:05:46,324 → 00:05:49,167

ROXY: You know what? I think I'll try to take care of this

00:05:49,227 → 00:05:49,887

one myself.

00:05:50,628 → 00:05:51,168

RANGER RAE: Are you sure?

00:05:51,809 → 00:05:54,511

ROXY: I'm sure. It'll give me a chance to explore all the

00:05:54,531 → 00:05:58,702

wildlife we can find around the city. And who knows? Maybe it'll

00:05:58,742 → 00:06:00,383

help me feel like a true Ranger.

00:06:01,424 → 00:06:03,165

PAULIE: True Ranger. True Ranger.

00:06:04,425 → 00:06:06,907

RANGER RAE: Well, Paulie thinks you're there already. All right,

00:06:06,947 → 00:06:11,129

Roxy. Best of luck. And if you need any help, you know what to

00:06:11,129 → 00:06:11,249

do.

00:06:12,290 → 00:06:13,130

SPK_8: Do an Awooooooooooooooooo

00:06:14,771 → 00:06:15,332

RANGER RAE: Exactly.

00:06:15,392 → 00:06:16,512

PAULIE: PAULIE: Awoooooooooooooooooooooo

00:06:22,035 → 00:06:25,569

ROXY: Well, Wildlifer, the hunt for my badge is on. I hope

00:06:25,629 → 00:06:28,352

Ranger Rae doesn't mind me wanting to do it all by myself.

00:06:29,112 → 00:06:31,755

I want to be able to solve problems like this even if I

00:06:31,835 → 00:06:35,618

can't speak to animals. Maybe then I'll feel like a true

00:06:35,698 → 00:06:38,601

Ranger, just like Ranger Rae did with that Hedgehog.

00:06:42,224 → 00:06:46,187

I've seen lots of magpies with nests down by the local pond, so

00:06:46,347 → 00:06:48,329

that's where I'll look for my badge first.

00:06:49,670 → 00:06:54,201

Oh no, that poor worm is all dried up on the path. Don't

00:06:54,241 → 00:06:56,562

worry, little worms. I'll give you some water.

00:06:58,623 → 00:07:01,544

Hop on this leaf and I'll lift you back onto the soil where you

00:07:01,584 → 00:07:05,566

belong. It's much too hot today for a wiggly worm like you to be

00:07:05,626 → 00:07:10,108

out on the patch. Now back to the mission at hand. Finding my

00:07:10,228 → 00:07:10,628

badge.

00:07:13,909 → 00:07:17,271

The pond is just around this corner. Oh, I hope the Magpie

00:07:17,271 → 00:07:18,511

who took my badge is there.

00:07:21,153 → 00:07:23,173

Hello, little Hedgehog. Are you okay?

00:07:24,514 → 00:07:28,497

Are you hurt? It looks like you've hurt your paw, you poor

00:07:28,737 → 00:07:33,220

thing. Oh, don't worry. Ranger Rae told me what to do with

00:07:33,340 → 00:07:38,164

injured hedgehogs. I need a towel and a cardboard box. Then

00:07:38,164 → 00:07:39,044

it's off to the vet.

00:07:40,425 → 00:07:42,567

Don't worry, it's just to make sure you're okay.

00:07:44,048 → 00:07:47,490

Hey, it's almost like you understood me there. Do you

00:07:47,510 → 00:07:48,091

understand me?

00:07:49,692 → 00:07:50,532

Oh, never mind.

00:07:54,430 → 00:07:57,532

So I thought I'd bring him to the vet in case you could help.

00:07:58,213 → 00:07:59,314

VET: You did the right thing, Roxy.

00:07:59,734 → 00:08:02,937

ROXY: I hope it's not hurt. They're just so cute.

00:08:03,617 → 00:08:06,980

VET: It should be fine. A sore paw won't stop this old-timer.

00:08:07,180 → 00:08:07,881

ROXY: Old-timer?

00:08:08,381 → 00:08:11,864

VET: Yes. This Hedgehog has been around for quite a while. I've

00:08:11,864 → 00:08:12,905

seen it down by the pond.

00:08:13,085 → 00:08:13,586

ROXY: Oh.

00:08:14,787 → 00:08:17,609

Can I bring it back to the pond when you're done? I'm heading

00:08:17,629 → 00:08:18,310

that way anyway.

00:08:18,650 → 00:08:22,013

VET: Thanks, Roxy. The animals are in safe hands when you're on

00:08:21,993 → 00:08:22,313

the beat.

00:08:26,802 → 00:08:30,845

ROXY: Okay, I'm finally at the pond and it's time for Hedgehog

00:08:30,865 → 00:08:34,888

to go back to its hedge. There you go, little guy. I hope your

00:08:34,908 → 00:08:35,808

paw feels okay.

00:08:37,510 → 00:08:42,193

Now let's see. Magpies, magpies, magpies, where are you?

00:08:43,874 → 00:08:47,977

Oh, look at those boys and girls having fun by the pond. Julian

00:08:48,017 → 00:08:50,759

from school is there. I wonder what they're up to.

00:08:53,060 → 00:08:56,903

Oh no! They're feeding bread to the ducks. But Ranger Rae told

00:08:56,903 → 00:09:00,827

me bread is very bad for ducks' tummies. Oh, but they probably

00:09:00,887 → 00:09:01,647

don't know that.

00:09:02,788 → 00:09:03,529

JULIAN: Hi, Roxy.

00:09:03,669 → 00:09:04,349

ROXY: Hi, Julian.

00:09:04,890 → 00:09:06,391

JULIAN: What are you up to?

00:09:06,411 → 00:09:09,013

ROXY: I'm looking for a Magpie that took something belonging to

00:09:09,033 → 00:09:09,153

me.

00:09:09,594 → 00:09:12,476

JULIAN: That sounds like fun. We're just feeding the ducks.

00:09:13,016 → 00:09:16,000

ROXY: Julian, it's just... Do you know that bread gives ducks

00:09:16,000 → 00:09:18,241

a very sore tummy?

00:09:19,001 → 00:09:19,402

JULIAN: Really?

00:09:20,262 → 00:09:22,004

ROXY: Yeah, it's not good for them at all.

00:09:22,945 → 00:09:26,327

JULIAN: Oh, no. I don't want to hurt the little ducks. I love

00:09:26,407 → 00:09:26,888

ducks.

00:09:27,808 → 00:09:29,990

ROXY: It's better to feed them stuff they would eat normally,

00:09:30,370 → 00:09:34,633

like seeds and oats and plants. I always carry a bag of it

00:09:34,653 → 00:09:36,795

around for duck feeding emergencies.

00:09:37,175 → 00:09:41,559

JULIAN: Well, thanks, Roxy. Come on, guys. You heard Roxy.

00:09:41,799 → 00:09:46,042

Bread's off the menu. Today's special is seeds, oats and

00:09:46,062 → 00:09:47,043

plants.

00:09:47,603 → 00:09:49,965

ROXY: Thanks, Julian. The ducks will be very happy.

00:09:50,945 → 00:09:53,548

JULIAN: I wouldn't want to give them sore tummies.

00:09:56,011 → 00:09:59,725

ROXY: Wow. That felt nice. Teaching people how to protect

00:09:59,785 → 00:10:02,786

nature feels just as good as protecting nature myself.

00:10:04,647 → 00:10:07,669

Hello again, Hedgehog. You're looking much better already.

00:10:08,669 → 00:10:12,170

Hey, I wonder if you're the same Hedgehog as Ranger Rae helped

00:10:12,190 → 00:10:13,031

all those years ago.

00:10:13,431 → 00:10:14,912

HEDGEHOG: You know Ranger Rae?

00:10:15,712 → 00:10:19,053

ROXY: Yeah, she's a very good friend. Actually, I'm an

00:10:19,053 → 00:10:24,916

honorary Wildlifer and... Wait a minute, did you just talk to me?

00:10:25,636 → 00:10:29,338

HEDGEHOG: Either that or I'm talking to myself, which I do

00:10:29,358 → 00:10:33,080

all the time, actually. But yes, I'm talking to you.

00:10:34,441 → 00:10:35,982

ROXY: This is amazing!

00:10:35,982 → 00:10:41,365

HEDGEHOG: Ha ha ha, first time, eh? You know, Rae had the very

00:10:41,505 → 00:10:45,007

same expression on her face when she realised she could talk to

00:10:45,087 → 00:10:45,327

animals.

00:10:45,387 → 00:10:48,709

ROXY: But how? Why? What? How?

00:10:48,929 → 00:10:52,111

HEDGEHOG: My guess, it was teaching all those children

00:10:52,191 → 00:10:56,867

about feeding the ducks. You can only save so many animals by

00:10:56,927 → 00:11:01,151

yourself, but you can save much more by teaching others how to

00:11:01,211 → 00:11:04,734

save them. That's the mark of a true Ranger.

00:11:05,675 → 00:11:10,140

ROXY: Oh, wow. This is so exciting. I really need to find

00:11:10,160 → 00:11:10,840

my badge now.

00:11:12,041 → 00:11:16,857

Hang on. I can ask you for help now. Did you see a Magpie with a

00:11:16,877 → 00:11:17,718

badge here today?

00:11:18,318 → 00:11:22,641

HEDGEHOG: Oh, sure. He dropped it by the pond. I have it in my

00:11:22,741 → 00:11:26,604

nest. I was going to give it to Ranger Rae when I saw her next.

00:11:26,984 → 00:11:31,687

ROXY: My badge! Thank you so much. I'd better get this home

00:11:31,707 → 00:11:31,827

and...

00:11:34,049 → 00:11:35,330

I forgot to check on Mrs Bee.

00:11:36,591 → 00:11:38,772

Bye, Hedgehog. Thanks for all your help.

00:11:40,293 → 00:11:46,822

HEDGEHOG: Ah, she sure loves to help animals.

00:11:46,822 → 00:11:47,623

MUM: Hi, Roxy.

00:11:48,684 → 00:11:50,966

ROXY: Hi, Mum. I've got to go and check on my Bee.

00:11:51,486 → 00:11:54,109

MUM: Of course you do. Be careful out the back, there's a

00:11:54,169 → 00:11:56,831

load of wild animals out there. I'm on the phone to animal

00:11:56,851 → 00:11:57,792

control right now.

00:11:58,573 → 00:12:01,535

ROXY: Wild animals? They might be my friends.

00:12:01,816 → 00:12:04,278

MUM: Your friends? Are you sure?

00:12:04,618 → 00:12:05,499

WILDLIFERS: Hi, Roxy.

00:12:06,700 → 00:12:11,224

ROXY: Ranger Rae! And the Wildlifers! You're all here! Hi

00:12:11,284 → 00:12:15,828

Beaver, hi Bat, hi Fox, hi Deer, hi Wildcat, hi Dragonfly!

00:12:16,248 → 00:12:18,650

DRAGONFLY: Zzzzz, zzzzz, zzzzzzz, zzzzzzz, zzzzzzz.

00:12:18,831 → 00:12:22,253

ROXY: Hi Dragonfly, I'm afraid I still can't understand what

00:12:22,293 → 00:12:22,914

you're saying.

00:12:23,755 → 00:12:26,097

RANGER RAE: When we heard the news we had to come celebrate.

00:12:26,437 → 00:12:27,037

ROXY: The news?

00:12:27,398 → 00:12:29,940

BEAVER: The news that you can finally understand what I, Super

00:12:29,980 → 00:12:31,001

Beaver, am saying.

00:12:31,001 → 00:12:34,424

ROXY: I really can, but how did you hear? I only just...

00:12:34,524 → 00:12:36,745

RANGER RAE: News travels fast around the animal kingdom.

00:12:36,866 → 00:12:41,209

ROXY: It sure does. Oh, I need to check on Mrs Bee.

00:12:42,630 → 00:12:46,192

She's still here. Come on, Mrs Bee, drink that sugar water.

00:12:47,333 → 00:12:50,535

That's it. You can do it. Almost there.

00:12:50,576 → 00:12:53,237

ALL: Hooray!

00:12:55,319 → 00:12:59,302

ROXY: Now that is one healthy Bee. Sorry, Ranger Rae. You were

00:12:59,322 → 00:12:59,642

saying?

00:13:00,322 → 00:13:03,164

RANGER RAE: Never apologise for helping an animal. It's what us

00:13:03,284 → 00:13:03,905

Rangers do.

00:13:04,705 → 00:13:06,587

ROXY: Us Rangers? You mean...

00:13:07,267 → 00:13:07,507

RANGER RAE: I do.

00:13:07,948 → 00:13:10,768

ROXY: Really? You're making me a real Ranger!

00:13:11,469 → 00:13:13,989

RANGER RAE: I'm not making you anything, Roxy. You did it

00:13:14,029 → 00:13:18,491

yourself. Not only are you great at helping animals yourself, but

00:13:18,531 → 00:13:21,371

you're brilliant at teaching others how to help animals too.

00:13:21,732 → 00:13:24,192

And that's so important when it comes to being a Ranger.

00:13:24,912 → 00:13:28,914

ROXY: Oh, thank you so much. This is my dream come true.

00:13:29,654 → 00:13:31,334

RANGER RAE: Now, is there anything you'd like to do to

00:13:31,414 → 00:13:31,914

celebrate?

00:13:32,955 → 00:13:33,375

ANIMAL CALL: Awooooooooooooooo

00:13:37,812 → 00:13:39,914

ROXY: How about my first mission as a Ranger?

00:13:40,214 → 00:13:42,316

RANGER RAE: You heard her, folks. It's time for Ranger

00:13:42,436 → 00:13:42,816

Roxy.

00:13:43,217 → 00:13:44,218

ROXY: And Ranger Rae.

00:13:44,498 → 00:13:46,259

WILDLIFERS: And the Wildlifers.

00:13:46,420 → 00:13:49,362

RANGER RAE: To save the day. Come on, Wildlifers. Off we go.

00:13:50,943 → 00:14:01,312
