Honk honk! Honk honk!
# Here come the Numtums They're furry and they're fun
# Here come the Numtums Let's start with number one
# Bendy Go!
# Dar Dar!
# Champer!
# Gladdy!
# Little Sandy!
# Flinders!
# Humpty Do!
# Coogee!
# Hobart!
# Nimbin!
# One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
# Nine, ten!
# The Numtums! #
- Woo-hoo! - Oof!
# De-de-de-doo, Super Numtum! #
At last, my sleepy-bye-byes machine is ready.
One blast of the lullaby ray and it is bedtime for everyone.
Except me! Ha-ha!
Time for one final test. I turn this all the way up to 10.
It's the top number, so that's the strongest lullaby ray.
SNORING
Ha-ha, it works! She'll sleep right through till morning.
And when everyone's asleep, I'll take over the world!
Not so fast, Fluffy McTuffy!
My super lullaby ray reflector will put a stop to your sleepy scheme.
Ha! With my lullaby ray on 10, you'll be snoring till breakfast, too,
not-so-Super Numtum.
Ah, but my lullaby ray reflector goes to 11. That's one more than 10.
So it's one stronger.
Impossible! What is this 11 you speak of?
Oh! Why do there have to be so many numbers?
Boring!
Ha-ha, bedtime, Fluffy McTuffy!
No, not bed...
CRASH!
Ha-ha, the only way she'll take over the world is in her dreams.
SHE SNORES
ALL: Yeah!
- Come on, let's play... - Super Numtum!
Last one outside is a wobbly walrus!
Numpups, freeze!
- It's nearly time for the Hobarts. - The what? - The Hobarts.
It's only the biggest show in Gumnut Gorge. Or it WILL be.
I'm giving out trophies galore
for things like Tastiest Termite Treats, Biggest Balloon...
And MY favourite, Best Beak!
So I need everyone to help make the Platypus Playhouse sparkle.
But we're going to play Super Numtum!
Did I mention a trophy for Most Helpful Numpups?
GASP!
Come on, busy, busy, busy!
No dilly-dallying or shilly-shallying.
Right, time to check the trophies. Let's see.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine...ten?!
- What's wrong? - I have only got 10 trophies. There should be 11.
I need one more. Oh, this is a disaster!
Don't worry, Gladdy has got an idea.
SHE WHISPERS
Gladdy, you're the best, but don't let anyone see.
- There, all done. - Yay! - Oh, great job.
And seeing as you did it so well, you can roll out the red carpet,
which might just win you that Most Helpful Numpups trophy.
Champer, what are you doing in there?
I've rolled in for a roly-poly carpet ride.
I still have to sort out the envelopes
with the names of the winners. So much work, so little time.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10...11!
Hold on, Champer, here we go!
Uh-oh!
GASPS
Looks like we're not going to win the trophy for Most Helpful Numpups.
Let's split up. I saw some of them go towards the Big Sandy.
And the rest flew towards the Tasty Termite.
- Billy, don't let Hobart start until we get back. - No problemo.
Billy, the top ticket collector, is in the Playhouse!
So, er, nice beaks! I prefer the longer beak that lets me do this.
TRUMPET TUNE
Pretty good, huh?
PRETTY TUNE PLAYS
Oh, that's just showing off.
Whose is that mystery beak?
It is even longer and beakier than mine.
- Where did he go? - Who? - I saw the shadow of an amazing mystery beak.
I didn't see anyone. I'm busy putting out termite treats.
You must have seen it, it was magnificent.
# I thought my beak was the best one around
# I'm never going to win with that other beak in town. #
- Numtum. - Coogee, Flinders! You found the envelopes. - Envelopes?
- We're using them to play snap. - But they are all the same.
- Makes for a much easier game. - Num-tum!
- But we need them for the Hobarts. - Num-tum!
OK, how about a swap?
Num-tum!
Two rubber ducks, a Super Numtum comic
- and a bucket of termite treats. - Num-tum!
We've got one, two, three, four, five, six envelopes.
Come on, back to Platypus Playhouse.
- Five minutes to show time! - Look what my beak can do.
- VOICE ECHOES: - How cool is this?
Oh, boy.
There it is again! The mystery beak!
- Where, where it is it? Where is that magnificent beak? - Oh, where?
The only beak I can see is yours, Larry.
Maybe I can still win...somehow.
It never fails.
BEEPING
If I can work out the distance from Platypus Playhouse in the direction
and speed of the wind, then that will tell me exactly where they fell.
- Sandy, hey, Sandy! - Just a minute.
- I'm trying to work out where the envelopes are. - They're right here.
- We just looked round and found them. - Oh, well, that works too.
Show is about to start. I just need my envelopes.
You go ahead and we'll bring them in for you.
Where's your tickety-ticket for me to clippety-clip it?
- I don't need a ticket, it's MY show! - No ticket, no entry.
- Them's the rules. - Just in time. Is that all of them?
These are all the envelopes from the Big Sandy.
So, altogether that makes...
Ten envelopes for ten Numtums. Let's go, go, go!
- But there are no tickets. - Then, you can't come in.
- Hobart, here are your envelopes. - Thank you.
- Look, I've got the winners' envelopes. - Close enough.
- There's one missing! - Impossible. We found all of them.
What do you mean you FOUND all of them?
Well, we may have accidentally knocked them over.
- But they are all there. We counted - 10. But there should be 11.
- So I need... - One more to make 11 envelopes.
Oh, this is a tragedy, a calamity!
- The show can't go on! - Hey, Hobart, I've found something.
I think I can reach it with my beak.
I know you want to win best beak
but there isn't going to be a show at all.
Oh, the last envelope!
ALL: Whoo-hoo!
- 10 plus 1 more makes... - 11!
It's show time!
And the trophy for Tastiest Termite Treats goes to Gladdy!
THEY CHEER
Most Helpful Numpups,
Bendy Go, Dar Dar, Little Sandy, Humpty-Do and Champer!
- Coolest Echidna, Billy! - Hey!
But now it's the one Larry's been waiting for, Best Beak!
In second place, the flamingos!
But we wouldn't have a show at all if it wasn't for our winner, Larry!
Woo-hoo! I beat that other beak! Huh?
We've got a special trophy for YOU.
That was the mystery beak?
Hobart only had 10 trophies, so for the 11th,
- we made this Larry cake, just for you. - Woo-hoo!
But we couldn't let you see it and ruin the surprise.
Not bad, but my beak's the best, and I have a cake to prove it!
THEY ALL CHEER
- Oh, no! - What's wrong, Hobart?
I just realised I forgot to give a trophy to myself.
Oh, well, I'm bound to win Best Presenter at the next Hobarts.
THEY LAUGH
