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! #
- Wahey! - Wahey!
You won't get away, Fluffy McTuffy.
Try and stop me, not-so-Super Numtum.
Whee!
Whoa!
Look out.
Whoopsy-do.
Ah, phew. It's still ticking.
But all the numbers have fallen off.
Look out, Gladdy's coming.
Oh, no. We can't let her see.
Don't worry, Super Numtum will save the day.
Let's see. Maybe this one goes here.
And this one, here.
As good as new.
What are you two grinning about?
Er, nothing to worry about, Gladdy.
We knocked something over but it's all fixed now.
Hmm.
Come on, Gladdy. We'll be late.
The Placido Flamingo concert starts any minute.
I can't leave just yet.
I promised Billy and Larry they could look after the Tasty Termite
and I need to give them a little list of things to do.
Ah, there's nothing to fear, the Kidna's here.
That's what you said last time and I came back to find you'd turned
the place into a soft play area for hippos.
But you should've seen those little hippos' faces.
We'll do better this time. Promise.
Hmm.
Here's a list of everything that needs doing
and the time they need to be done.
I want this place running like clockwork.
Come on, Gladdy, we want good seats.
# Nessun dorma Nessun dorma. #
Like clockwork, Gladdy said.
So let's go and check the clock.
Big hand on the 12, little hand on the 4.
Four o'clock.
Four o'clock. Get the Termite Treats ready and put them in the oven.
Really?
Seems a bit early, but if that's what the clock says.
While you do that, I'll give them Numpups this week's...
- Oh, yeah! - Comics! - Wow! - Yeah!
..Super Numtum comic.
Thanks, Larry.
Wow.
Super Numtum is about to deliver a very important crystal
to the professor who lives at number four.
Or so he thinks. Let's see what he does when I
jumble those numbers.
I need that crystal to power my new hover boots
and not-so-Super Numtum's going to deliver it right here to me
at number four.
I'm so clever.
A special delivery for number four.
Number one, number seven, number six... Ah, there's number four,
right at the end.
It's working.
Here he comes.
Wait a minute.
What's number four doing at the end of the street?
My counting skills tell me that four should come after three
and before five.
These numbers have been jumbled up.
This looks like the work of Fluffy McTuffy.
I'll put them back in order.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
That's my package delivered safe and sound.
Now, to find Fluffy.
Looks like your numbers up, Fluffy McTuffy.
Oh, pops-a-doodles.
- ALL: - Hurray!
Mmm. I smell Termite Treats cooking.
Is it Termite Treat time already?
I don't think so. Let's go see. Come on.
Woo-hoo!
Yummy, yummy!
Yay!
Those treats smell delicious. Is it Termite Treat time?
Afraid not, Humpty Do. That's at five o'clock and that's not for ages.
It's only two o'clock.
And according to Gladdy's list, two o'clock is tidy up time.
But I can smell them.
We've got to run this place like clockwork.
Oh.
Let's go and play while we wait.
I saw you, Bendy Go.
TUMMY RUMBLING
I saw all of you that time.
TUMMY RUMBLING
Sorry, my tummy is hungry and I can still sniff those treats.
It must be Termite Treat time by now.
Let's find out.
Is it treat time now?
Nope. Sorry, it's seven o'clock. Which is, er...
tail brushing time.
But we haven't had treat time yet.
He's right.
By my calculations tail brushing time comes after treat time.
Something very strange is going on.
Nonsense.
We're running the Tasty Termite like clockwork. Yeah.
And on the clock says it's tail brushing time, so off you go.
Hold still, Coogee.
Is it treat time yet?
Oh, let's go and see.
Is it treat time now?
The big hand is on the 12, the little hand is on the number 36.
That makes it...
36 o'clock.
That means it's...
Hang on, there's no such time as 36 o'clock.
There isn't?
No.
If there's no such time as 36 o'clock,
maybe it's three o'clock and six o'clock both together.
Three o'clock is dancing time.
And six o'clock story time.
So, let's do them both together.
Oh, it'll be the best fun ever.
And so the cow said...
MOOING
And the duck said...
QUACKING
And the pig said...
Oh, I'm all danced out.
We're doing everything like clockwork, just like Gladdy said,
so why are we getting everything wrong?
Maybe it's not us that's getting everything wrong.
Maybe it's the clock.
Is it wound up tight enough?
There, that should do the trick.
Four o'clock. Treats into the oven.
Two o'clock, tidy up time.
Slow down. Everything's going too fast.
Got to keep up with the clock, Numpups.
Seven o'clock, tail brush time.
36 o'clock.
And the cow said...
Make it stop.
TUMMY RUMBLING
If I don't eat something soon, I'm going to shrivel away to nothing.
Nothing o'clock.
Nothing o'clock?
Huh? What's nothing o'clock?
Maybe it's the time to do nothing.
Works for me.
# Figaro, Figaro, Figaro. #
That was the best opera concert ever.
Oh, my, oh, my, what's happened here?
Running the Tasty Termite like clockwork is...
Is exhausting.
What's happened to my clock? It's going far too fast.
Oh.
I must have wound it up too much.
I'll wind it down a bit.
But hang on. Four, two, seven.
Does that sound right to you?
These numbers have been jumbled up.
Er, well, I was pretending to be Super Numtum
and maybe I knocked the clock off the wall.
And maybe I put the numbers back on when they fell off.
But I think they must have got mixed up.
Then it's no wonder we were getting our jobs jumbled up too.
We just need to put the numbers back in the right order.
How about a little song to help us count?
# One, two, what you gonna do?
# Three, four, gonna wiggle my paw
# Five, six, shake it like this
# Seven, eight, shika-shika shake
# Nine, ten, tap-tap clap
# Aaah! Tum Tum Tap Tap
# Tum Tum Tap Tap
# We do the Tum Tum Tap Tap
# Tum Tum Tap Tap
# We do the Tum Tum Tap Tap
# Will everybody count along with me?
# We do the Tum Tum Tap for the world to see
# It goes one, two
# Two Numbots on the dance floor
# Three, four
# Four parcels at the door
# Five, six
# Six caterpillars peeking round a wall
# Seven, eight
# Eight flamingos standing tall.
# Nine, ten
# Ten Numtums having a ball
# Tum Tum Tap Tap
# We do the Tum Tum Tap Tap
# Tum Tum Tap Tap
# We do the Tum Tum Tap Tap
# Tap Tap! #
And don't forget 11 and 12.
Much better.
Now the Tasty Termite really will run like clockwork.
And the little hand is pointing to five, so it's five o'clock.
And on my list, five o'clock means Termite Treats all round.
ALL: Yeah!
Yeah.
