 * Lionel: Leona, here. Take a look at the top of my head. What do you see?
 * Leona: Well, uh...
 * Lionel: A baby mane. That's what you see, a baby mane, that's a shame. Second rated in sorry shape. A disgrace to my face.
 * Cleo: Now it's a very nice mane, Lionel. It's perfect for cub your age.
 * Theo: Right. It's exactly like mine was when I was your age.
 * Cleo: See?
 * Theo: When you're all grown-up, you'll have a mane just like mine. [the mane grows on top while shaking in slow-motion]
 * Lionel: Dad!

 * Theo: Oh, sorry. Sorry.
 * Lionel: You're forgetting. I don't have to wait until I'm a grown-up. Because of what's in this carton.

 * Lionel: Dad!
 * [the eyes open from a statue, just as the music stops with a DJ stop effect again]
 * Theo: Oh, sorry.
 * Lionel: Open it, please.
 * Theo: [they both carry a box] Okay, son.
 * Lionel: Be careful. Careful, careful.
 * Theo: [opens the box, reading FredEx like FedEx] Don't my own strength. [throws a box torn paper with a glass shattering] All right, here. [grabbing things out] Oh. [chuckling] One DVD.
 * Lionel: Oh, right.
 * Theo: [continues grabbing things out] One instruction booklet. Mm-hmm. Um... Oh! One back scratcher. [laughing] And, uh, let's see. Oh, oh! One really funny-looking helmet-y thingy.
 * Cleo: What the...
 * Theo: I don't know. [gives it to Lionel]
 * Lionel: Cool!
 * Theo: Hmm, think that's it.
 * Lionel: What? That's it?
 * Cleo: Oh, want to return it and get your money back, Lionel?
 * Lionel: Return it?
 * Theo: Wait, there's more!
 * Lionel: Ah-ha!
 * Theo: It's a piece of paper, that says: "Once this box is opened, you cannot get your money back."
 * Lionel: I don't care! I don't want my money back!
 * Theo: Uh, you're sure, son?
 * Lionel: Positive! Oh! Come on! Let's watch the DVD!
 * Theo: Okay.
 * Cleo: Okay, Lionel.
 * Lionel: Put it on, put it on!

 * Announcer: The Mane Club for Cubs.
 * Dr. Dave: "Do you have a baby mane? Is your baby mane a shame? Second-rate? In sorry shape? A disgrace to your face? Now it's time to change your fate!"
 * Announcer: Congratulations! You are now the lucky owner of The Mane Club for Cubs Mane-O-Mania Scientific Mane Growing System!
 * Dr. Dave: I'm Dr. Dave, Jr. II, president of The Mane Club for Cubs. I'm not an actual doctor; doctor is just my first name. In know I'm not a grown-up lion, I am an actual lion cub. Yeah. And I'm my best customer.
 * Announcer: "Before, after."
 * Lionel: Cool!
 * [continues watching the video]
 * Announcer: The Mane-o-Mania Scientific Mane Growing System is guaranteed to give you a grown-up mane in one day, or not.
 * [the video ends]
 * Lionel: Okay, okay! Is that cool or what? [chuckles]
 * Leona: Yeah. It sounded believable to me. But then, I'm just a little cub.
 * Cleo: Lionel, did you read the small print on the end?
 * Lionel: Did you see the mane on Dr. Dave the Rave? He's a cub like me! And he's got a grown-up mane. Oh, yeah. Where are those instructions? Oh, yeah. [takes a booklet] This is so cool! [chuckling] "Step one: Scratch the top of your head with the Mane-o-Mania Mane Growing Head Scratcher."
 * Cleo: That's very good.
 * Lionel: Dad! Mm? Oh, oh! I'm sorry, son! Oh, oh! Head scratcher. Oh. [chuckles] Oh, come here, son. Come here.
 * Leona: Cool.
 * Theo: Come here.
 * Lionel: Okay.
 * Theo: Right here. There we go. [he uses the head scratcher to scratch on Lionel's head] Okay.
 * Lionel: Oh, yeah. Okay. "Step two: Put on the Mane-o-Mania Mane Growing Helmet and speak into the microphone, which will beam your words di... di..."
 * Theo: "Directly."
 * Lionel: [continues reading] "...directly to the top of your head, and say, "Grow, mane, grow" over and over again."
 * Leona: Grow, mane, grow. Grow, mane, grow. Grow, mane, grow.
 * Lionel: Wait! Leona! Leona!
 * [they both run]
 * Cleo: Oh, Theo. Do you think we're doing the right thing letting Lionel try that thing?
 * Theo: No. You know, I tried when I was his age. Oh, it taught me a big lesson. Didn't have the back scratcher, then, though.
 * Leona: Grow, mane, grow!
 * Lionel: Hey, come back here!
 * Leona: Grow! Grow, mane, grow! [screaming]
 * Lionel: Leona!
 * Both: [looking in a mirror] Grow, mane, grow! Grow, mane, grow! Grow, mane.. uh, uh...
 * Clay: Uh, grow?
 * Walter: Yeah. Grow.
 * Barnaby: What are you pigeons doing? There I asked.
 * Walter: We're gonna grow um, um...
 * Clay: Uh, manes?
 * Walter: Yeah! Manes!
 * Barnaby: Uh, pigeons cannot grow manes.
 * Clay: Shh! Buster, please! Now we lost our, uh, uh...
 * Walter: Uh, uh, place?
 * Clay: Yeah! Place!
 * Walter: Yeah.
 * Both: Grow, mane, uh, uh...
 * Clay: Grow?
 * Walter: Yeah!
 * Both: Grow, mane, uh...
 * [the gray hand pulls the long "A" out of the word mane, then the segment goes to Click the Mouse: name, then The Un-People: un-tamed and re-tamed, then color jazz words: tame, tape, cape, case, Gawain's Word: chase, then Colored Pattern Words: chase, case, cake, then The Great Smartini: cake, cup, and cupcake, and India Arie: know song]
 * Cleo: So that's the story, Click.
 * Click: Lionel seems he's going to be able to grow a mane on his head before he's grown-up.
 * Both: He does!
 * Lionel: Grow, mane, grow! Grow, mane, grow! Grow, mane! Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! I feel something! I feel something! I think it's working!
 * Leona: Didn't work for me, Lionel. Girl lions can't grow manes, even with the scientific Mane-o-Mania system. Here. Take a peek of the helmet. Come on, come on.
 * Click: That helmet is not going to grow a mane on his head.
 * Leona: Hmm, looks the same to me.
 * Lionel: Okay, okay, okay. Don't panic.
 * Leona: I don't know the meaning of the word "panic."
 * Lionel: Well, it means get all worried and upset, and... and nervous.
 * Leona: Oh, you mean like this? "Oh, no! Oh, no! The mane didn't grew! What are we gonna do?" [screaming] Like that?
 * Lionel: Exactly.
 * Leona: Okay, I won't do that.
 * Lionel: [continues reading] "Step three: If your mane hasn't grown after saying "Grow, mane, grow" over and over again, sing the Mane-o-Mania "Make a Mane Grow" song."
 * Click: The "Make a Mane Grow" song?
 * [the song begins]
 * Lionel: ♪ Oh, head up there upon my face. Please make my mane grow long. I'd like a mane down past my eyes, please listen to this song. Grow, mane, grow, mane! Make it grow! Grow, mane, longer! Go, go, go! ♪ (turns to the other patrons) Everybody, sing along! My head needs all the help it can get!
 * All: ♪ Grow, mane, grow, mane! Make it grow! Grow, mane, longer! Go, go, go! ♪
 * Lionel: ♪ And I know you can do it, so please don't make me wait. I want a mane just like a grown-up. ♪ Now is the time! Today's the day! Come on! Sing it loud! You too, Click! This is for you, scalp!

 * Lionel: Oh, yeah! Come on! Momma! Oh, yeah!
 * [the song ends with applause]
 * Lionel: Okay, okay. You guys help me take off the helmet. I can feel my grown-up mane is itching to get out and see the world! At least I think that's what it's in. [laughing]
 * [the monkey takes the helmet off]
 * Lionel: Okay. All right. It... [scratching the head] ...it's not there. [continues scratching the head] I still have the baby mane. I... I don't understand it. Dave the Rave said it was guaranteed.
 * Theo: Uh, Lionel, uh, I wanna show you something.
 * Lionel: Mm-hmm.
 * [typing on the computer]
 * Announcer: The Mane-o-Mania Scientific Mane Growing System is guaranteed to give you a grown-up mane in one day... or not.
 * Lionel: "Or not"? I didn't read that part the first time. It... It was so small, and the guy whispered it!
 * Cleo: I'm sorry, Lionel. We tried to warn you, but you just didn't want to listen.
 * Lionel: I never wanna see that dumb helmet again. [walking away]
 * Click: All right, nobody panic!
 * Leona: I know the meaning of that word.
 * Click: I have computed a way to help, Lionel. Leona, your assistance is required.
 * Leona: Me?
 * Click: Yes. May I?
 * Cleo: Of course you may, Click.
 * Click: Mouse and her assistant to the rescue! [leaving]
 * Leona: I'm an assistant!
 * Cleo: Good luck.
 * [segment goes to Missing Letter: rake, Fred Says: flake/flakes, Sea Words: make, male, whale, Cliff Hanger and the Mammoth Whale, Chalkboard: whale, male, may, pay, and If You Can Read: ay, then putting the long "A" back in the word mane]
 * Cleo: Um, what?
 * Both: Lionel?
 * Lionel: Yeah?
 * Theo: Uh, you seem kind of uh, happy, son.
 * Lionel: Oh, yeah. Click, here, showed me what to do.
 * Click: Hold your applause.
 * Lionel: [holding the disc] We burned this DVD.
 * Cleo: Oh.
 * Theo: We gotta see this, son.
 * Cleo: Yeah.
 * Leona: Yeah. [He puts the disc in the DVD player, then putting it in, then watching a clip]
 * Lionel: The Mane Club for Cubs is a shame! The Mane-o-Mania Scientific Mane Growing System is... is... is second-rate! A disgrace! I'm Lionel Lion, and... and this is my sister, Leona. And, uh...
 * Leona: Go on, go on.
 * Lionel: I want my money back.
 * Leona: Please!
 * [the clip ends]
 * Cleo: Wonderful, Lionel.
 * Theo: Great, Lionel.
 * Leona: Do I know how to say please or what?
 * Theo: Oh, you're so cute.
 * Click: [laughing] I made a copy of the disc, and we sent it to Dave the Rave by FredEx.
 * Lionel: Yeah. So I figure ought to have my money back before I can say...
 * Fred: Envelope with money for Lionel Lion!
 * Lionel: It came!
 * Leona: Wow.
 * Lionel: [takes the envelope] Thanks, Fred.
 * Fred: You're welcome. Gotta go! [leaving]
 * Cleo: Oh, that is Fred.
 * Theo: I told you.
 * Click: Now applause for mouse! Her assistant, Leona, and executive producer, Lionel!
 * Theo: Great!
 * Cleo: Bravo!
 * [they both laugh]
 * Theo: So, um, son, what have you learned from all this?
 * Cleo: Mm...
 * Lionel: I learned that I should read all the words on something I buy.
 * Both: Mm-hmm.
 * Lionel: I learned that if I don't like something someone does, I can write, and complain about it!
 * Both: Mm-hmm.
 * Lionel: And, I learned that I'll just have to wait until I'm a grown-up to get a mane like Dad's. [laughing]
 * Cleo: Oh, you may not have a grown-up mane yet, Lionel, but you did a very grown-up thing writing and sending that message to Dave the Rave.
 * Lionel: I did, didn't I? All right!
 * Click: I have one question. Why are you still wearing that helmet?
 * Lionel: 'Cause it's cool! [laughing]
 * Click: That computes.
 * Leona: Hey, Daddy, do that thing with your mane again.
 * Lionel: Yeah!
 * Theo: No, we've had enough of that, huh? Oh, yeah.
 * Cleo: I never have enough of that, Theo.
 * Theo: Oh, well, if you insist...
 * Lionel: Yeah!
 * [the music continues with the hair growing while shaking]
 * [last lines]
 * Both: [looking at a mirror] Grow, mane, grow! Grow, mane, grow! Grow, mane, uh...
 * Barnaby: All right, that's enough! Stop it! You've been doing that for 20 minutes, and still you've not grown a single hair.
 * Clay: Oops!
 * Walter: Huh?
 * [they both look at Barnaby, who is now covered in hair]
 * Clay: I think we did something. Uh...
 * Walter: Uh...
 * Clay: Uh...
 * Walter: Wrong?
 * Clay: Yeah, wrong! Or, uh...
 * Walter: Uh, not.
 * Clay: Yeah, not!
 * [they both chuckle]
 * Barnaby: [covering in hair] What? What? What are you staring at? What? Stop all that staring. What is it? Do I have a pimple?
 * Announcer Bunny: [chuckling] Pigeons — don't you just love them?
