Welcome to my in shape elevator!

You're just in time to make sure the elevator is ready!

Ready, Tibitz?

- Ready!

- Elevator buttons ready?

- [Tibitz] Elevator buttons are colorful, shiny, and activated.

Ready!

- Sweat power ready?

- [Tibitz] Sweat power ready!

- Oh, nice form.

Pep talk ready?

- [Tibitz] Pep talk, you've got the best moves.

- Oh, thank you, Tibitz.

I love moving all around!

(exclaims) - Ooh, I call this next move the chicken wing!

Yeah, get a good stretch out of those arms!

Good job, Huggy, you're really channeling your inner chicken.

(Huggy bawks) Next move, the jiggly jelly leg!

(leg jiggles) (Albie grunts) I love it, Albie!

Jiggle that leg!

(Albie grunts) - Ah, my leg feels like jelly, Jay!

- Alright, everyone, let's take a quick break (Albie pants) and let's get back to steps!

One, two, three, four, five, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18- - Jay!

Instead of counting, can we work out to some music?

- Great idea, Albie.

(Huggy exclaims) - I'll go get my radio!

(Jay grunts) (Huggy exclaims) Huh?

Uh, Huggy, what are you doing?

(Huggy exclaims) (upbeat music plays) - Ooh, I love this song!

(Huggy exclaims) (music stops) (new upbeat music plays) Ooh, this one's my jam too!

(music stops) - Huggy, I'm playing the elevator workout music.

(Huggy exclaims) Okay, fine!

We'll just both play our music.

(both songs play) - Albie and Huggy, it's, kind of, hard to focus when you both are playing your music, why don't we just turn the radios off for now?

- Alright.

(Jay breathes heavily) (Huggy breathes heavily) (Jay continues breathing heavily) (frantic noises) I can't take it!

It's too quiet to focus!

I have to turn my music back on!

(grunts) (upbeat music plays) (Huggy groans) (music stops) (new upbeat music plays) Huggy!

(Albie grunts) (both songs play) (Huggy groans) (new upbeat music plays louder) (Albie exclaims) (Jay grunts) (Albie groans) - Guys!

Okay, time out.

Let's figure out what's going on here.

- I want to listen to my song!

(Huggy exclaims) But when we both play our songs, it's too loud!

- Way too loud!

Can you think of a solution?

- Maybe we find a way to combine our songs.

I think I know someone who could help.

- Ooh.

- Ha, destination music maker!

(grunts) (Tibitz charges) - Stalling mode activated, Albie!

(upbeat music) (mystical chime) ♪ Powering up, up, up, up, up ♪ ♪ Power core fluxing ♪ ♪ Location locked on ♪ Now twisting out at full speed.

(bell dings) (indistinct chattering) - [Musician] I don't, I don't know about that one.

- Hey, Albie!

- Hey, Albie.

- [Band] Albie!

- Hi!

These are my friends, Jay and Huggy!

(Huggy exclaims) We're looking for a workout song that Huggy and I can both agree on, it should sound something like this!

(grunts) (upbeat music plays) (music stops) But also something like this.

(new upbeat music plays) (Huggy exclaims) (music stops) Can you make a song for us that sounds like both of these?

- I don't know if we can help with that but we make music that sounds like this.

(guitar riff plays) (everybody gasps) - Wow!

(chuckles) - Sometimes we only have time to play one more song for an encore.

- What's an encore?

- An encore is when an audience loves a song so much that they want to hear it one more time.

- But if you're only playing one more song, how do you decide what to play?

- We take a vote, it works like this.

Who wants to play Boogaloo Blues?

Boogaloo Blues?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- Okay, Eric, Larry.

Boogaloo Blues?

Boogaloo Blues?

Alright, yeah.

I know you like the Boogaloo Blues.

Okay, alright.

Alright, alright, not bad.

Hands for Everybody Needs Love.

Alright.

Alright, fair enough.

Fair enough, right?

Okay, you like that?

Alright, the majority rules.

- [Musician] Oh, yeah.

- Everybody Needs love it is.

Bye, guys!

Thanks for showing us how you take a vote!

♪ Lonely night ♪ - [Band] Bye, Albie.

(upbeat jingle) - Everyone in the band had a say in what song they wanted to play, maybe everyone in the elevator wants a say in which song we listen to?

- That sounds like a good idea, Albie.

(Huggy exclaims) - Hey, everybody, let's take a vote on which song we want to listen to.

The choices are Albie's jams or Huggy's rock bops.

Lemme hear you scream for the one you want the most!

(everybody screams) - Maybe not screaming, we don't want to disturb our neighbors.

- Oh, right.

Good thinking, Jay.

Maybe we can wiggle around to show which song we want.

- Okay.

Here we go!

Wiggle around really fast if you want to hear Huggy Pepper's rock bops.

- Looks like nobody wiggled, which means my song wins.

- Hang on a second, Albie.

Everyone, if you want to hear Albie's jams, please wiggle now.

Okay, I see what's going on here.

Looks like our friends don't wanna vote in front of you two.

I get it, it can be tough to make a decision when it feels like you'll be letting a friend down, so how about we try voting another way?

- I know!

Jay will give everyone a pompom and if you want my song, you can put your pompom in the jar with my face.

If you want Huggy's song, you can put your pompom in the jar with his face.

Whoever has the most in the end, wins!

- And to make sure no one sees what you're voting for.

- (gasps) Oh, I get it, that towel will be like a curtain!

- That's right, so everyone has privacy when they drop a pompom in the jar.

Once everyone is finished voting, we'll add up how many pompoms are in each jar... - The one with the most wins!

- You got it!

Everyone ready to vote?

(everybody exclaims) Okay, let's vote!

(everybody exclaims) Alright, everyone, time to count up the votes.

First up, Albie's jams!

One, oh, two, three, four!

Four votes for Albie's jams.

Now let's see how many votes for Huggy Pepper's rock bops!

And one, two, three, four, (gasps) five!

Five votes!

Huggy's rock bops wins!

- Yay.

(upbeat music plays) (Huggy exclaims) - Hey, Albie, I know it can be tough to lose.

Do you want a hug?

You can come and join us whenever you're ready.

- Thanks, Jay.

(Albie groans) (Huggy exclaims) (chuckles) No.

That's my nose!

(Huggy exclaims) (Albie chuckles) Yeah, I guess I do wanna dance, Huggy.

This is a pretty cool song and maybe next time we can listen to my song.

(Huggy exclaims) (upbeat music continues playing) Hey, watch this move!

I call it the button smasher.

(grunts) (Jay grunts) - Nice one, Albie!

- Jay, what do you got?

- Oh, the chicken wing, of course!

- Oh, yeah!

- Chicken wing.

(Jay bawks) - Huggy, show us your moves!

(upbeat jingle) (bell dings) (elevator doors open) Until the day of dawn, now swing a little bit more!

Let's all have fun.

Everybody say howdy do!

- Howdy do!

(Albie chuckles) - Nice, Huggy.

(hums) Oh, hi there!

Welcome to my inline feeling fine elevator!

Now that you're here, let's make sure the elevator is ready.

Tibitz!

- Those were some moves, Albie!

- Thanks, Tibz!

Elevator buttons ready?

- [Tibitz] Elevator buttons are colorful, shiny, and activated.

Ready!

- Baby chick, ready?

- [Tibitz] Baby chick, not ready.

(Albie exclaims) - [Albie] Please hurry, little guy!

I gotta know why the chicken crossed the road!

Pep talk ready?

- Pep talk, your smile brightens my day.

- Thanks, Tibitz!

(bell dings) Rosie!

- Hey, Albie.

First floor, please.

- Oh, what's in there?

- These are pictures from my high school reunion.

We all brought in old photos and hung them up on the walls for everyone to see, like a photo gallery.

Look, here's me.

- Ah!

Cool!

But why hang these photos up?

- Pictures can remind us of the people we love and the things we love about them.

Oh, like this one, my friend Marcus, he has the best laugh!

I could almost hear it when I look at this picture.

- What are these pictures with the white space on the bottom?

- These are pictures from my instant camera.

- Instant camera?

What is that?

- It is a special kind of camera.

It takes a picture (camera flashes) (Albie gasps) and prints it right away!

- What?

Oh, oh, how cool!

Can I try it?

- Sure.

So, this is the lens, which is, like, the eye of the camera and then you look through this little square hole on the back and see what the camera sees.

- [Albie] I see the elevator.

- [Rosie] Cool, right?

And then when you see something you wanna take a picture of, you press this button, then.

(camera flashes and whirs) - I did it!

I took a photo!

- You did it, you're a real photographer!

(Albie chuckles) - I'm a photographer.

- [Rosie] When I come back, I wanna see all your pictures, photographer Albie!

- Thanks, Rosie!

Rosie had pictures of all the people she loved, like her friend, Marcus, laughing, maybe I'll take funny pictures of all my favorite people!

(Albie hums) (upbeat music) (camera flashes and whirs) (hammer taps) (camera flashes and whirs) - Ah!

Albie, what are you doing?

(Huggy exclaims) (camera flashes and whirs) (Albie chuckles) - Charles from the sixth floor, spilling a drink on himself!

(laughs) So funny!

(hums) Ooh, Katie from the fourth floor, dropping her phone!

Classic Katie.

(laughs) Let's see.

Ooh, I'm out of clothespins.

(bell rings) - Albie, I'm back!

Albie?

Oh, no.

Oh.

Oh, Jay.

(camera flashes and whirs) - Got you, Rosie!

(Rosie groans) - Albie, about these pictures.

- I know!

I took funny pictures of all my favorite people!

- They might be funny to you but these pictures might not be funny to our friends.

How do you think Huggy felt when that picture was taken?

- [Rosie] Oh, he had just tripped and that banana peel landed right on his head!

(laughs) - I know that but... Let's try this, have you ever tripped before, like Huggy did?

And how did it feel?

- Oh, well, when I trip, I feel, sort of, sad or sometimes angry or embarrassed.

- And what do you love about Huggy?

- Oh, I love listening to music with Huggy and dancing!

Like, line dance Fridays!

- You know, I have a friend that could explain this even better than I can!

Albie, could you press this button, please?

- Sure thing, Rosie!

(grunts) You know, could you push the button today, just this one time?

- Sure.

- Ah, okay, yeah.

(camera flashes and whirs) Perfect.

Wanted to catch the moment.

- Stalling mode activated, Albie!

- Oh?

(bell dings) - Hey, Rosie.

- Hey, Sam, this is my friend Albie.

- Hi, Sam.

Cool camera, I like the lens.

- Thanks, Albie, nice to meet you.

Are you a photographer too?

- Why, yes, (camera flashes and whirs) I am.

I just started taking pictures today!

- That's great, I love taking pictures of people around my neighborhood.

Here comes someone now.

Excuse me, could I take a picture of you?

- Sure.

(camera flashes) I love your energy.

- Oh, thanks.

Can I strike a pose?

- Definitely!

(camera flashes) - That's good, I like that one.

- Me too!

Thanks for letting me take your picture.

- No problem.

- [Sam] That was great.

You never know who you're gonna meet.

- What cool pictures!

- Let's go take more pictures of people.

Alright, and we're just gonna start walking towards South Street, there we go.

Let's see, maybe this direction.

(creatures exclaim) Alright, look who we got here.

- Hey, Sam.

What's up, man, how you doing?

You wanna take a picture?

A new picture?

Alright, here we go.

- Alright.

- You're gonna get a picture with mom, are you ready?

- Go ahead.

- Here we go.

Alright, man, good job.

Let me show you your picture, ready?

Look at that.

Wow.

(camera flashes) What a dapper gentleman.

I think we know him.

See you later, neighbor.

(camera flashes) I love seeing what's special about the people around me.

Good luck with your pictures, Albie.

Bye, Rosie.

- Bye, Sam!

Bye!

Those pictures that Sam took came out so good!

Everyone was smiling and laughing, and some of them were even funny!

- They were!

- I wonder how he did that.

- How do you think he did it?

- Well, I remember he asked them if he could take their photo.

- And what else did he do?

- Sam also really wanted to show off all the cool things about them.

- Sometimes the person even picked their own pose.

(Albie gasps) - Rosie, I wanna take some new pictures of my friends, starting with you, if that's all right?

- Of course, Albie, thank you for asking.

- Could you hold up your notebook?

I love the poems you write in it and I want to remember them.

- That's a great idea, Albie.

And can I show off the cover too, where I put these stickers?

I feel like they capture my inside feelings on the outside.

- Even better.

(groans) (camera flashes and whirs) (Albie hums) (Huggy exclaims) Okay, Huggy, I'd like to take a photograph of you to hang in my elevator gallery.

One that really shows that you are you, you know?

(Huggy groans) See this photo here of Gene.

At first, it's just Gene but when you look closer, you see kindness, you see power but gentle power, and mail because his mailbag is in it!

It's all the things that make Gene, Gene!

(Huggy exclaims) See this photo of Bonbon?

(Huggy exclaims) His eyes are big and behind those eyes, friendship, serenity, pickle sandwiches.

(Albie exclaims) Bonbon.

(Huggy exclaims) When I think of you?

I think of your great dance moves!

Grace and rhythm, elegance.

(Huggy exclaims) Of course, you should wear your tuxedo!

That would make it even better!

I'm so excited to take new pictures of Huggy showing all the things I love about him!

Just like the other pictures that show why I love all my friends and neighbors, and what they love about themselves.

(Huggy exclaims) Fabulous, Huggy!

Fabulous!

Alright.

(camera flashes and whirs) Oh, lovely.

That really captures your smile.

Great, give me that look on the side.

Oh, wow, over the shoulder!

Huggy, you are a natural!

Okay, okay, let's get one more.

(Huggy exclaims) Of course, your friends can join!

(Albie chuckles) Yay!

Ah, yes, yes, I love that movement, that was fantastic gimme more, gimme more!

Oh, your hat is wonderful!

Oh, oh, your dancing is perfect, go ahead!

Yes, perfect!

Oh, I love that so much!

Oh, you know what?

You should go over there and take a picture by the lasso because the orange of your fur would really compliment, go ahead!
