Her name is Kitty O'Neil. Let's look at her.

Watch, now. She's getting ready to start there. Just a moment, you'll see her start off. Ooh. So far away. Oh, there it goes. Look. Mm. Ooh. Here she comes. Ooh, look how fast she's going.

Well, that is a special rocket car, but it was very fast, and I set a world record. 618 miles per hour. (exhales sharply) BOTH: 618? -RICARDO: Were you scared?-Oh. No, I never get scared. And I have to train very hard, and work with the people who carefullycheck everything-- very carefully-- before I drive. Oh, I'd like to add, too, that Kitty drives motorcycles and speedboats...(imitates engine revving) ...and snowmobiles. -(imitates engine revving)-(laughs) I guess I love speed... Fast matters on land, water and snow. I guess I want to break world records. And I would also like to say that Kitty is a very well-known and respectedstuntperson in Hollywood, in movies and television. "Stuntperson"?

What's a stuntperson? Oh, I tell you what. Let's watch the magic screen, you'll see. That you? Do you act on TV? Yes. No. Well, sort of. I take the place of an actor, working most in film and TV.

(grunting, groaning) -Oh...-(laughs) Oh, goodness. (chuckles) Mm. (clears throat) Ah, do you understand everything now? -Yes.-Okay. But it requires many years of training to do it the right way. But never try this on your own. Gee, your work looks exciting. Yes, I like to keep busy and enjoy life.

I love to try new things. I know I can do them. At the same time, I have a lot of fun. Well, and speaking aboutyour busy schedule, we don't want to keep you any longer. I know you have a lot of things to do. So, we thank you a lot for your time. Thank you. Oh, and good luck on your new world'srecord attempt. Yes, thank you. Goodbye. -Bye.-Bye. Ah. There we go. Boom-boom, tonk-tonk-tonk. Ko-ko-ump. (chuckles) Uh-oh. Uh, close the door,close the door. Oh, oh, let's see. Ooh. Ah. (laughs) -She's wonderful.-Yes.

-See that neat uniform?-Mm-hmm. Man, I'd love to have that. Could you see me? -Oh, want to race?-Yeah. -You wave the flag.-Oh, okay. -(exhales sharply)-(imitating engine revving) -See you later!-(laughs) Please... Hmm.

I said... Come on. I'm Supersign. Oh. I've been planting my seeds, and they won't... Come on, seeds. See? Nothing happened. Mm. You should use the sign for G-R-O-W. -Try it. Maybe it'll help.-Hmm. Oh, I see. Okay, I'll try. So long. (laughs)

Once upon a time, there was a great king who lived in a great castle. He ruled a kingdom of many people. The riches of the land were also his. Gold and silver, diamonds and rubies. But there was one thing the kingwished for and could not have,and that was a flower. For throughout the land, there were... (grunts)

Hurry up. It's time for the king's ride. We must make sure that the coachis ready for the king's journey... I don't understand the king. He rides through the kingdomjust to find a single flower? And every night, he returns with nothing. I know. I guess the king will never give uphis search for that one flower. Let's be off. Today, my luck will change. You'll see. Stop the carriage. He pulled and he tugged,

but the flower would not be picked. Driver, come here. Help me. Servant? Perhaps the two of you togethercan do better. Come here. This is an order. I command you to come out ofthe ground now. He shouted at the flower. He even jumped up and down. But the flower would not be picked. Bring me the best and bravest soldierin the land. Call my most magical magician.

With all their strength and wisdom, none of them could move the flower. And so, he thought, perhaps the flower and I could be friends. Every day, the king came to visitthe flower. He watered her and cared for her. He told jokes to the flower and readher poems. And so it happened that the king andthe flower became dear friends and shared many wonderful yearstogether. In the house, there are threebowls of soup.

One is too hot, one is too cold and oneis just right, -so I ate it all up.-She's fast. She signs fast. (muttering softly) Oh, I'm exercising so I canbecome strong. Eh, so I can do, uh, tunts, inthe movies. Yeah. Huh? Yeah, you know. You know, like that deaf woman that Wally told us about. Well, she's always jumping off buildings, and-and-and catching on fire. Ah, yes. But you did spell the word wrong. Uh... Yes, you missed the first letter. I did? Yes. You should be looking in this dictionary, -not lifting it.-Oh. Hmm.

-Uh... Hey!-Oh! How can I find that word in here if I don't know the first letter? Oh, that's right. Hmm. How do you spell this? Oh, I never bother to spell it. I just use the sign "stapler." (sighs) Well, what about these? Eh. Ugh, that has so many S's in it. Hmm. S? Hmm. -Uh-- oh.-(laughs softly) "Stunts." (sighs) Oh. Now can I be in the movies? Hmm. Now I'm really gonna be inthe movies. I... Maybe I should learn how to dance. First, you have to learn how to moveyour body. I just learned from the ballet company that practices upstairs. La, da, da, da, da-da-da

Dee, da-da-da Ba-da, ba, ba, ba, da, ba Ba, da-da-da, do-ah, do-ah, da... BOTH: Finished. -Oh, good.-What's up? It's easy. First, we borrowed an old sheet fromWally's office. -See?-We borrowed some color pens from Penny for drawing on the sheet. Ah, I remember playing that long ago,but I've forgotten. How do you play it? -Well, you...-I'll be the boss, okay? I'll tell you which hand, elbow,knee or foot to put on which color. For example, right foot on red. Then you do it, like this. Do you want to play? -Oh, sure.-Great. You put your right foot on green. Left knee on orange. Right elbow on red. Come here, come here.

Me? And right elbow on green. Hmm... (laughing softly) (laughing loudly) (cackling) Is this where this goes? I can't hear you. Mm-mm. You can't hear me? -Can't hear.-Can't hear. Is this the pet shop? -Pet?-Pet shop? Yeah, it's this address. Hold on.
