[whistle blows]

-[narrator, hiccupping] "Hiccups." -[squeaking]

Wow, it's almost eleven o’clock.

Already? And to think an hour ago, it was just...

[funny voice] ten o’clock.

Eleven o’clock is when the man from the radio station

said our commercial would play.

Right, our commercial.

[opera on radio]

Gee, Rich,

your voice sounds a lot higher on the radio.

That's not me.

My voice is much lower than that.

[deep voice] Right, guys?

[deep voices, grunting] Oh, right. Right, Rich.

I don't think this is the right radio station.

Maybe our commercial's playing on this one.

[country-western music playing on radio]

That doesn't sound like our commercial, either.

But it does sound fun.

Let's dance!

Yeah, two-step.

Ah-yee.

[hooting]

Guys, this is no time to dance.

We have to find the right radio station

before our commercial plays.

Ready to record more "Boring Stories on Tape," Uncle Knit Knots?

Yes, Nina.

Oh, I just can't wait to see the bored faces on the children

when they listen to my incredibly boring stories.

"Boring Stories on Tape" recording session,

take number one.

"Once there was a plain boy

who lived in a plain house on a plain street--"

[hiccup]

What was that?

It sounded like a hiccup.

That's impossible. I don't get hiccups.

They're much too exciting for me.

Let's-- [hiccup]

try again.

"Boring Stories on Tape" recording session,

take two.

"There once as a plain-- [hiccup]

boy who lived-- [hiccup]

[hiccups continue]

[stuttering] I can't record my boring story--

like this.

No one--

will be able to--

understand--

what I'm saying--

Maybe we need to take a break.

I'll put on some music.

[sighs]

-[monotonous tuba plays] -Oh, that's perfect, Nina.

Turn it up a little. [hiccup]

Oh, there's probably nicer music than that

to listen to, Uncle Knit Knots.

Let me find another radio station.

[Rich on radio] Do you have a situation that needs imagination?

We can solve any...

Hey, it's the Imagination Movers.

This must be their new radio commercial.

Wonder-- ful.

[turns radio off]

Let's go see the Movers.

They can solve any problem.

They'll know how to get rid of your hiccups.

But they're--

exciting.

Uh, I'm sure my--

hiccups will go away on their own.

They sound like they're getting worse.

That's--

nonsense.

[squeals]

Fine.

We'll go to the Movers.

[hiccup] But don't get too excited about it.

I'll try not to, Uncle Knit Knots.

[Scott on radio] The Imagination Movers

for all your problem-solving needs.

[Dave on radio] Do you have a situation that needs imagination?

Wow, great commercial, guys.

-High five. -Yeah.

Now that our commercial's played, I am sure customers are gonna

start knocking on that door any second.

[knock on door]

How'd you... How'd you do that?

[sputters]

Hi, guys.

Hi, Nina.

Hello--

Movers.

Hello [mocks hiccup] to you, too, Knit Knots.

We heard your commercial, and we need some help.

What's your situation...

That needs imagination?

Oh, really, it's--

nothing.

Uncle Knit Knots has--

...hiccups.

-Wow. -Huh.

-You don't say. -Gesundheit.

I'm fine.

I keep telling Nina that I don't need any help

in getting rid--

of the hiccups.

So you wanna keep your hiccups?

Because we can help with that, too.

No, I don't want to--

keep the hiccups.

After all, they make an awesome noise, like...

-[mock hiccups] -[other laugh]

Yeah, they're pretty cool.

Almost as cool as...

[popping sound]

What about this?

[makes whistling noises]

Don't forget... [squeaks]

Or... [yodels]

Or... [snaps fingers]

It's amazing all the fun sounds you can make.

[growl]

Wasn't that fun, Knit Knots?

I'll take that as a maybe.

There's nothing boring about having the--

hiccups.

I can't get one bit of-- [hiccup] work done,

and I have lots of "Boring Stories on Tape" to--

record.

We'll think of a way to get rid of your hiccups.

Yeah! An exciting way, a fun way.

No, that's why I didn't want to come here.

Too--

Too ex--

Ex-- [hiccup]

What's he trying to say?

Egg salad?

Eggs Benedict?

Eggs and sausage?

No!

Too exciting.

Ah...

Fine.

I'll let you help.

-[hiccup] -[all gasp]

But let's try to make it as unexciting as possible.

Great. So now we have an...

[all] Idea Emergency!

[alarm blaring]

We need to find a way...

To stop Knot Knots' hiccups...

So he can record his stories...

And that means we need to...

[all] Brainstorm!

-Reach high! -Think big!

-Work hard! -Have fun!

Okay, Movers, who has an idea?

I do, but we need a brown paper bag.

Oh, you mean...

-like this? -Exactly.

I think I know where you're going with this one.

We'll make a bag puppet than can tell Knit Knots

how to get rid of his hiccups.

Hmm. Well, it's worth a try.

I'll use my scribble sticks.

[funny voice] Hi. I'm Mr. Bag.

Actually, I meant Knit Knots should breathe into the bag.

Sometimes breathing differently can get rid of hiccups.

Breathing into a boring brown paper bag.

That idea--

I like.

Now breathe slowly, in and out.

Did it work?

Did your hiccups go away?

You know, I think my hiccups just might've--

[hiccups continuously]

not gone away.

Well, don't worry.

I'm sure the Movers will come up with another idea...

any minute.

They always do.

Make that any second.

Actually, make that now.

I just came up with another great idea.

Knit Knots, this is a hiccup cure my Grammy taught me.

The first thing you do is lie flat on your back.

Come on, quick.

[groans]

Then lift your leg up in the air.

Careful--

that's attached to the rest of me, you know. [hiccup]

Next, someone tickles you under your chin.

Oh.

Uh, aha!

Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.

I'm not--

-ticklish. -Hmm.

Now, for the most important part...

balance a spoon on your forehead.

Oh.

[hiccup]

This is--

ridiculous.

Spoons are for sipping

terrifically tasteless teas,

not for--

balancing on foreheads.

Don't you wanna get rid of your hiccups, Uncle Knit Knots?

Yes.

I don't hear any hiccups.

Still no hiccups.

Not one single--

...hiccup.

This is strange. Grammy said this always works.

[gasps] Maybe it's a fork instead of a spoon.

[groans] Oh...

For [hiccup]-- Pete's sake.

Don't worry, Knit Knots. I already have another idea.

I've heard that getting scared by something

can get rid of your hiccups.

-Great thinking, Dave. -[Knit Knots sighs]

If only we had something scary

or a scary place to go to.

But not too scary.

You mean like a "Not Too Scary Room".

We have a "Not Too Scary Room",

it's right down the hall.

[gasps]

Wow!

Whoa.

Jeepers, it is kinda scary in here.

But not too scary.

I don't scare very easily.

Me either. [giggles nervously]

-Rich. -Yikes!

[Nina squeals]

-Sorry, Rich. -[sighs]

I wanted you to show Knit Knots

that scary thing we saw the other day.

Good idea.

If anything's gonna scare the hiccups out of you, Knit Knots,

it's this. Ha-ha-ha.

Sorry.

I'm not scared of spiders.

Especially silly stuffed ones.

Let's see how much your hiccups like spooky stories, Knit Knots.

[eerie voice] It was a dark and stormy night.

Not scary.

Congratulations, Knit Knots.

Because you didn't get scared in the "Not Too Scary Room",

we'd like to give you this can of delicious peanuts.

-[Nina gasps] -Yikes! Oh.

Was that supposed to be--

scary?

So there's really nothing in the "Not Too Scary Room" that frightens you.

Hiccup once for yes, twice for no.

What does three hiccups mean?

It means we need to think of another idea.

Are you Movers out of ideas yet?

[scoffs] Not even close.

Ah, I just had another one.

Movers, huddle up.

I think I know how to solve our Idea Emergency,

but I don't want Knit Knots to hear.

Good call not inviting him into the huddle then.

Thanks.

Okay, who here has noticed that Knit Knots

can't stop thinking about his hiccups?

-Me. -Me.

-Me too. -Exactly.

So maybe if we can get him to stop thinking about his hiccups

and start thinking about something else--

He'll forget about the hiccups,

and they'll go away by themselves.

-Genius. -Yeah.

-Good idea. -Okay.

One, two, three, Movers.

[Nina] Well?

Have you figured out how to--

cure my hiccups?

No.

In fact, we're not gonna think about your hiccups anymore.

No?

We just gonna think about...

-Er, uh... -Uh...

[all stuttering]

Paper clips?

Work! Your work.

But I can't get any work done because of these--

hiccups.

We can help you finish your work.

And we'll talk about anything you want...

[whispering] uh, except the hiccups.

Movers helping in my office,

I don't think so.

And certainly not dressed like that.

What's wrong with our Mover suits?

Everything.

They're too bright, [hiccup]

too colorful. [hiccup]

If you ever want to work for me,

you'd have to change into something a lot less exciting.

Don't the Movers look-- [hiccup]

wonderfully boring, Nina?

Uh, yes, they look very, very...

plain.

Yes, perfectly--

bland.

Oh, look, paper clips.

I'll make a paper clip sculpture.

Don't touch. Those paper clips

are all in a neat-- stack.

[mimicking barks]

Look, I can turn these pens into a crazy mustache.

♪ Crazy mustache ♪

Pens are for--

-writing, not for wearing. -Crazy mustache.

[Nina giggling]

-Enough of this hullabaloo. -[Nina gasps]

You Movers didn't come in here to play and have fun.

He's right. We came here to work.

Work, work, work.

And keep Knit Knots from thinking about his hiccups.

Let's get to work then--

[groans] before things--

get exciting again.

Today we're gonna record one of Uncle Knit Knots'

"Boring Stories on Tape."

I wrote these--

myself.

Guaranteed to have--

zero adventure--

and excitement.

This is one we recorded yesterday

before he got the hiccups.

[Knit Knot on radio] It was the end of another day

where absolutely nothing happened

and tomorrow promised to be just as unexciting.

The end.

Wow, that's really boring.

Thank you. Uh, but--

as you can see, I'm in no--

condition to read these stories today--

because of my-- [hiccup]

because of my-- [hiccup]

because of my hiccups.

Then it's a good thing the Movers are here to help.

Here's what I need--

you to do.

Read very slowly,

like this.

[reading in slow pace] "Once there was--

an average boy named--

Billy.

His hair was neither--

dark nor--

light...

nor curly-- [hiccup]

nor straight. [hiccup]

Like that, only without--

the hiccups.

The hiccups were the most interesting part of the story.

I think we've got it.

[chuckling]

Let the recording begin.

Once there was an average boy named Billy.

Good--

but read slower

and more-- boring.

More boring.

[slower, droning] Billy's hair...

was neither dark nor light.

[normal pace] In fact,

-it was purple. -[laughing]

And Billy turns to his mom, he's like "Mom, why is my hair purple?"

And then his mom says...

[funny voice] "Your hair is purple because you're a purple alien--

Yes.

-...from the planet Purple-opia." -[others laughing]

What page are they on?

Uh, I don't know, Uncle Knit Knots.

[funny voice] I have no hands.

And I'm an alien, too.

[chuckles]

Check out my purple... toes.

-[all laughing] -Stop, please.

But I just thought of the most exciting thing for Billy to do.

But I don't want my stories to be exciting.

I want them to be just as I wrote them,

boring.

-Uncle Knit Knots, your-- -No, not now, Nina.

I cannot let my stories be ruined like this.

The Movers must read my stories exactly as I wrote them.

But, Uncle Knit Knots, your hiccups...

they're gone.

-Yeah. -Yes!

They are? Wait.

Let me see.

[clears throat]

I'm talking.

I'm talking some more.

I'm still talking...

and no hiccups are coming out.

That's great.

Way to go, Knit Knots.

And way to go, Dave.

Your plan worked.

Uh, what plan?

We thought if we could get you to stop thinking about your hiccups...

They might go away all by themselves.

And it looks like we did it.

Hmm, you sure did.

[sighs in relief] Thank you, Movers.

We're just glad your hiccups are gone.

Come on, guys, back to the Idea Warehouse.

Bye, guys.

Thanks for getting rid of my Uncle Knit Knots' hiccups.

[all] Bye, Nina. Bye, Knit Knots.

[Knit Knots] Bye.

Well, that was far too much excitement for one day.

For one year, actually.

Now it's time to get back to work.

[Movers on radio] Do you have a situation...

Listen, Uncle Knit Knots, it's the Movers' commercial again.

Wonderful.

...for all your problem-solving needs.

Well, Movers, we did it again.

Another Idea Emergency solved with a little creative inspiration.

And we helped a friend, too.
