TITLES: BLUEY
STRIPE
Hey kiddo!
SOCKS

BLUEY
I think you mean motorbike silly.
SOCKS
Mo-mo-mikes.
BLUEY
No Socks its motorbike!
CHILLI
(enters with garden rake)
Bluey.. Socks is still learning!
Remember what you used to call
bananas?
BLUEY
Umm. Na-nas!
CHILLI
(to Stripe)
Where’s Trixie?
STRIPE
Sick with the flu.
Chilli freezes, mouth agape, arms out walking slowly backward
ala Homer in The Simpsons S13 E19 The Sweetest Apu.
BINGO
C’mon Muffin, lets play chasey!
Bluey, Bingo, Muffin and Socks run out of the room.
SUPERIMPOSE:
Space Cadets
BLUEY (V.O.)
This episode of Bluey is called
Space Cadets!
BANDIT
Hey bro! Wanna pie?
(confused look)
What are you doin Chil?
STRIPE
Trixie’s at home with the flu.
Bandit freezes, mouth agape, walking slowly backward.
BANDIT
I might just take Chil for a ride
on your bike.
STRIPE
I’m not contagious!
BANDIT
Just around the block. Won’t be
long!
Stripe sighs but perks up seeing the pies, chips and dip.
BLUEY
You and Muffin can be my No. 1 and
No. 2.
Bingo and Muffin giggle.
SOCKS
(shows two fingers)
Poos.
BLUEY
Socks can be a Moon Martian because
he can’t say his words properly!
MUFFIN
Bluey! That’s not very nice, Socks
is just little! He’s still
learning!
BLUEY
I know! We can make it a teaching
game!
MUFFIN
Alright.
BINGO
It doesn’t look like the Moon.
The yard is sparkling clean after Chilli’s garden work.
MUFFIN
(thinking)
Let’s dig some holes!
The kids get to work digging small holes in the yard.
SOCKS
(pointing)
Hole!
BLUEY
On the Moon they’re called craters!
SOCKS
Cray-ders.
BLUEY
We need some Moon leaves.
MUFFIN
There’s no trees on the Moon Bluey!
7.
BLUEY
That’s Captain Bluey No. 2. But
you have given me an idea. I’ll be
right back!
BLUEY
Leave this to me. I’ve played hide
and seek before.
(rummages through bag)
To catch a Moon Martian you have to
entice them with food.
(pulls out party pie)
Now, I need a volunteer to stick
their hand into his hiding place
holding this pie.
Muffin and Bingo tremble at the thought.
BINGO
Do Moon Martian’s bite?
BLUEY
Sometimes.
BINGO
(rubbing hand)
But Bluey! It hurts when Socks
bites!
MUFFIN
Maybe we can put the pies on the
outside and see if he takes one.
BLUEY
Good idea No. 2! I’m promoting you
to my No. 1!
Bingo looks shocked and saddened at her demotion. Muffin
places the pies outside of the leaf pile.
Bluey hands out the toilet rolls, launching one into a tree.
BLUEY (CONT’D)
Let’s make some Moon trees!
Unseen, Socks’s head emerges from the leaf pile.
SOCKS
(licking lips)
Moo-Pie!
CHILLI
(grabs phone for selfie)
He’s a big boy.
BANDIT
Stripe. My brother.
CHILLI
Ok, ok, we’ll go back.
BANDIT
(embracing)
Five more minutes.
BLUEY
Then we need to find more food!
BINGO
Maybe we should make some Moooon
Pies?
BLUEY
Excellent idea No. 2! To the
sandpit!
STRIPE
What have you kids..
MUFFIN
Dad! You can’t be out here without
a space helmet!
Stripe freezes, mouth agape, arms out walking slowly backward
ala Homer in The Simpsons S13 E19 The Sweetest Apu.
STRIPE
Uh oh.
MONTAGE - YARD
Stripe chases the girls around the yard, the trampoline, and
under the toilet papered trees, all the while being pelted
with Moon Pies and laughing.
A distinct deep motorbike rumble fills the air.
12.
STRIPE
Uh oh.
Stripe makes a dash for the leaf pile, disappearing into its
dark belly.
BLUEY
Come out of there Space Cadet!
BINGO
Listen to your Captain!
Bandit and Chilli appear on the deck.
CHILLI
Oh my goodness!
BANDIT
Girls! What happened to the yard!
Where’s Uncle Stripe?
The girls point to the leaf pile.
CHILLI
Seriously squirts, where is he?
Stripe explodes out of the leaf pile with a loud yelp. Socks
has his jaw clamped hard on Stripe’s tail as he makes an
awkward dash, still wearing the Moon Boots.
BANDIT
I don’t run like that!
BLUEY
Have a Moon Pie Dad.
Bandit looks at Chilli who shrugs in defeat.
CHILLI
Go on then.
Bandit throws the Moon Pie at Stripe as the girls join in.
MONTAGE - YARD
Bandit chases Stripe around the yard, the trampoline, and
under the toilet papered trees, all the while being pelted
with Moon Pies and laughing.
FADE OUT.
