Youngmee: [Gasp] Oh! That would make the cutest doggy sweater! Don't you think, Nutmeg?

Nutmeg Dash: I'm not the expert on pet fashion. You should ask Blythe.

Youngmee: Uh, Blythe, what did Nutmeg Dash just say?

Blythe: Oh, uh, she's not the expert on pet fashion. You should ask Blythe. Oh! That's me! Let me see. Oh, yeah. That'd be super cute for her.

Youngmee: That journal must be really interesting. Huh, Nutmeg? [Whispering]

Nutmeg Dash: [Barks]

Youngmee: Well, Blythe, what did Nutmeg say that time?

Blythe: Nutmeg said, 'Boo-boo honeybun, banana patch forward box.' Huh?

Youngmee: Well, we had to do something to get your attention!

Blythe: Heh heh. Sorry, 'Mee. I just get so wrapped up in my mom's journal that I... What?

Youngmee: What's wrong?

Blythe: My mom wrote... [Reading] 'The ability to communicate with pets can suddenly disappear.' And that's where the entry stops.

Youngmee: That's terrible!

Blythe: Yeah, just like that time I took that awful-tasting herbal cold medicine and lost the ability to communicate with the pets. And that only lasted one day! What if I wasn't able to communicate with the pets... forever?

[theme song]

Russell: You're up, Vinnie. Now, don't be nervous or anything. You're just competing for the 'King of the Rings' title, that's all.
Vinnie: Quiet, Russell. I need to get my focus on. Focus, Vinnie. Focus. See the ring, be the ring...
Russell: CHOKE!
Vinnie: Aw, man! It disappeared in Penny Ling's doll pile! We're never gonna see that ring again.
Russell: Aw, tough break, Vinnie. Watch me; I'll show you how it's done. It's all in the approach. [Grunts]
Vinnie: HA! Choke-ier!
Russell: Ugh! Apple butter!
Vinnie: Well, there goes another ring. You're never gonna find it in Zoe's costume pile.
Russell: We'll see about that! I'm going in! [Grunts] What the- ?
Vinnie:  Uh, is it just me or has the day camp suddenly been taken over by girl stuff?
Sunil: I assure you it is not just you, my scaly friend.
Russell: Sunil, what happened to you?
Minka: Sunil, how am I going to finish my 'Lady Mongoose with a Pink Boa' portrait if you keep walking around the day camp? Now get back to the chair!
Sunil: Yes, Minka.
Russell: I think we need to have a serious talk with the girls.
Blythe: I just don't know what I'd do if I couldn't talk to the pets anymore. 
Youngmee: But what are the odds that something like that would happen a second time? Does your mom say anything else in the journal about this?
Blythe: No. The entry ends like she was suddenly kidnapped by an evil organization bent on erasing all knowledge of Mom's communicating-with-pets ability! Okay, I totally made up that last part. But what am I going to do if this happens?
Youngmee: Well, there are more ways to communicate with someone than just talking to them.
Blythe: Huh?
Youngmee: You can plan ahead and think up ways to communicate with the pets without talking. You know, stuff like sign language. 
Blythe: That's a good idea, Youngmee. I can try things out and see what works. But I can't say why I'm doing it because they'll start to worry too. Me worrying about it is enough right now.

Zoe: So, what do you think, girlfriends? The competition isn't for another two weeks, but you know how I like to get my ducks in a row ahead of time.
Penny Ling: I like it. The color matches your ears. Pretty!
Minka: I like it too. But where are the ducks? Are you bringing them with you? And why do you need them in a row?
Pepper: You wanna wear my squirting flower? It would match. 
Penny Ling: What's wrong, Pepper?
Pepper: My skunky sense is tingling as if someone was standing... right beside me!
Penny Ling: [Giggle] I love this thing.
Zoe: Can we help you, gentlepets?
Russell: As a matter of fact, you can! We want you dial way back on all this girly stuff.
Vinnie: Yeah, it's just a bunch of junk anyway. It's really starting to bug us. We keep losing our ring toss rings!
Sunil: And one time I fell into Penny Ling's plushy pile and had to be pulled out with a rope! It was like being stuck in quicksand!
Russell: And let's talk safety for a moment. I'm always tripping on girly purses and shoes and assorted beauty care products strewn about the day camp like so much driftwood on the beach... Ha! I rest my case!
Vinnie: Actually, that's my driftwood. Sorry.
Russell: Ugh! The point is, your girl-junk - and yes, I called it junk - is seriously cramping our style!
Pepper: Ah, ah, ah! Girl junk?! You- you've got a lot of nerve saying that considering all the boy junk lying around here! Russell's junk... Sunil's junk... and Vinnie's junk!
Vinnie: Oh, yeah? Well, we actually need our junk - um, stuff.
Sunil: Plus look at the tiny amount of space relegated to our junky stuff compared to the vast expanse taken up by your junky stuff.
Minka: Well, we need double room for our stuff, and this is our space too!
Russell: Well, if it stays, then we go!
[Gurgles]
Pets: [Growls]

Blythe: Ugh! I need something unique. A way I can still comunicate with the pets that's different than the obvious way. There's gotta be some clues about why this even happens. C'mon, Mom; help a daughter out.

Russell: Well, boys, we're safe up here in the loft.
Sunil: Quite possibly, this is the only day camp-adjacent area the girls haven't managed to overrun with their female girly-ness.
Vinnie: Yep, it's like our own little boy sanction-ary.
Sunil: Sanctuary.
Vinnie: Uh, what does sanctuary mean?
Russell: Basically, a safe place.
Vinnie: What does sanction-ary mean?
Russell: That you're not very smart.
Vinnie: Got it. Wait, what?
Russell: Hey! I just had a brilliant idea! We'll convert the loft into our own personal boy cave!
Sunil: Aw, yes!
Vinnie: Awesome!
Russell: First things first. We need tech and lots of it. Flatscreen, gaming consoles, and stereo equipment.
Sunil: I should very much like to add some traditional analog gaming. Such as full-scale foosball.
Russell: Look out!
Sunil: And, how about air hockey?
Vinnie: [Laugh] who doesn't love air hockey, huh? Whoa! [Crash] Okay, okay, okay, I'm thinking 'go big or go home'! And by that, I mean amusement park! Log flume... World's Largest Merry-Go-Round... And last but not least, our own theme park characters!
All: Ooooooooh!
[Zap]
Russell: Bean bag chairs, the ring toss game, and a fort made out of kibble bags? Not quite as ambitious as what we were describing... But it works for me!
Vinnie: Me, too!
Sunil: It is totally us, meaning it is a space where boys can be boys.
Vinnie: The girls are gonna be all like, 'Ooh, we're so jealous!' And we're gonna be like, 'Uh-huh, we know you are!'
Sunil: This place is completely off-limits to any girls of the female persuasion!
Girls: [Blowing raspberries]
Sunil: Well, I wasn't expecting that reaction.

Blythe: Hi, everybody!
Girls: [Happy greetings]
Blythe: Uh, where are the boys?
Pepper: Pfft, they had a hissy fit about all the girl stuff in the day camp and they set up their own 'boy cave' up in the loft.
Blythe: Really? That's kind of a silly reason for you all to split up.
Pepper: I knew they'd be back.
Russell: Hello, everybody.
Zoe: So, couldn't stand to be away from us any longer, huh?
Penny Ling: Ready to apologize for insulting us and our girl stuff?
Minka: And say you're sorry, too?
Boys: [Laughter]
Vinnie: Aw, man!
Penny Ling: Well, you didn't have to laugh that hard.
Russell: We're only here to pick up some of our things and then we'll happily be on our way.
Blythe: You know, I think this 'boy stuff versus girl stuff' is pretty silly, don't you?
Pets: [Grunts]
Blythe: Okay. Well, how 'bout a little gender-neutral activity to get your minds off of things? I want you to watch what Im' doing and then tell me what you think I'm trying to say. Okay?
Penny Ling: Ooh, this sounds fun. Is it a game?
Blythe: Uh, kinda... Well? Anything?
Zoe: Sweetie, are you okay?
Blythe: It's called semaphores. 
Minka: Sema-four?
Vinnie: Is that a little more than a "three", but not quite a "four"?
Blythe: What? No. See, you send signals with these flag thingies by waving them and each combination means a different letter of the alphabet. And then you... well... Ugh! Semaphores? What was I thinking? I don't even understand them! Some back-up plan!
Vinnie: First, a crazy flag dance and now she's talking to herself. What do you think's wrong?
Sunil: Hard to say, my friend. People are a most complicated species. Then throw in some flags and I'm totally lost.

Russell: Boy, oh boy! It's great having all of this space to ourselves, isn't it? None of their silly things to trip over while we're doing fun boy stuff like this. 
[Clatter]
[Clunk]
Pepper: So this is what you guys do when girls aren't around, huh?
Russell: Not at all! We were just having some 'boy fun'... here in our, uh, "boy cave".
Vinnie: Yeah! So, in your face... girl without a cave!
Pepper: Boy fun, huh? [Laughs]
Sunil: What's wrong, Pepper? Couldn't stay away from our stereotypical, gender-specific hangout any longer?
Pepper: Pfft! Sure I could! we just got hungry. Back to your "boy fun", fellas! Woot, woot! [Laughs]
Sunil: I must admit that I wouldn't mind if the girls came to visit more often as exciting things like fort collapses happen when they do.
Russell & Vinnie: Yep.

Zoe: Oh, isn't this fabulous, ladies? We finally have our own space surrounded by the things we like.
Penny Ling & Minka: Yeah!
Pepper: The boys are up there in their "boy cave" having a bunch of fun without us!
Penny Ling: Really?
Zoe: Oh, so what? We can have fun too, doing whatever we want without them!
Pepper: Well, what do we wanna do?
Zoe: Well... I could try on my outfits again and you could all tell me how fabulous I look.
Minka: [Sigh] Gee, I wonder what the boys are doing right now?
Zoe: Hey! Wait for me!
[Crunch]
Vinnie: [Slurp] [Belch]
Zoe: I'm pretty sure they look like they miss us, don't you think?
Penny Ling: Hard to tell.
Pepper: I thought they looked gassy.
Zoe: Me too.

Blythe: Well? What do you think I just said?
Youngmee: Uh... 'Who ate the books?'
Blythe: No.
Youngme: Ummmm... 'Where are the pickles?'
Blythe: No!
Youngmee: 'Yay, it's Taco Tuesday?'
Blythe: Ugh, no!
Youngmee: Hey, don't get mad at me. I'm trying my best.
Blythe: I know, Youngmee. I'm sorry. I'm more mad at myself for the communications fail.
Youngmee: You don't know for sure that it's a fail. But why am I the one who's guessing and not the pets?
Blythe: Well, because of some silly argument about who has the most annoying piles of stuff, they're barely speaking to each other.
Youngmee: Considering what you're worried about, it's kind of ironic, isn't it?
Blythe: Yeah. Which is why I've gotta step up my game on my back-up communication plan. If I can't get the pets to talk to each other while I do understand what's going on... what hope do I have when I don't?
Youngmee: I hear ya. So, what were you trying to say with those moves?
Blythe: 'Stop playing in the litter box, Vinnie.'
Youngmee: Oh, yeah! I see that now! 
Blythe: Really?
Youngmee: No, not really.

[Ukulele strumming]
Vinnie: That was great, Blythe!
Sunil: Fantastic!
Russell: We know what you were trying to do and we thank you for it.
Blythe: You mean you understood it?
Russell: Sure. You were trying to get our minds off things. You know, with the girls.
Blythe: so you didn't understand that this means 'embracing love'? Or that this move signifies the rolling sea?
Vinnie: Uh, well, I didn't, but you should probably check with them.
Blythe: Russell? Sunil? [Sigh] Well, I'm glad you liked it.
Russell: Oh, Blythe! If you're going back to the day camp, can you return this to the girls?
Blythe: What are you doing with it?
Sunil: It was part of my costume from Minka's 'Lady Mongoose with Pink Boa' painting. [Sigh] Good times. Good times.
Russell: We can't allow any of that girl stuff up here. Blythe, please take it back.
Blythe: Such a great color.
Sunil: I concur.
Russell: Well... Now that you mention it, the color and softness do add that little touch of 'something' the boy cave is missing.
Vinnie: Yeah, girl stuff isn't so bad. Ooh, did I just say that out loud?
Russell: No, no, no, you're right. Some of it's not so bad. Mmmmm. Soft. But we can never tell the girls that, can we?
Sunil: NEVER!
Vinnie: Not gonna happen!
All: Mmmmmmm. 

Penny Ling: [Chewing] Whoa! Omph! [Squeak] Aw, it's Sunil's plushy cobra. Since it's boy stuff, I guess we should get rid of it?
Pepper: I don't know, I think it's kind of cute. I mean in a "boy stuff" kind of way, that is.
Zoe: I agree. This decidedly boy accessory seems to fit in just fine.
Penny Ling: Couldn't we just make a little room for the boys' stuff?
Minka: Yeah, then we could all share the day camp again.
Pepper: I don't know that this even about our 'stuff' anymore.

[Zoe]

To tell you the truth, girls, it's not gonna happen

At least until they admit they were wrong

Minka: That's right!

Pepper: Sing it, sister!

[Russell]

To tell you the truth, boys, forget any clappin'

'Til they apologize in the form of a song

Vinnie: Now you got it, man!

Sunil: Certainly not!

[Blythe Baxter]

To tell you the truth, mom, your daughter is snappin'

If I can't talk to my friends, I might crack before long

[Russell and Zoe]

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure how we got here

And if we'll get it back once it's gone

Sunil: Girls, I used to think we could get through anything, but lately, mmm-mmm. I don't know what's been going on... and it hurts.

[Russell]

It's like you're not even listening

To the problems we're trying to tell ya

[Pepper]

It's like those boys don't hear anything

[Minka]

You can sing it, I don't need to smell ya

[Zoe]

But can we say "I'm sorry"?

[Vinnie]

Can we return to the way things were?

[Blythe Baxter]

Will we even talk anymore

If the worst of the worst should occur

[All]

Communication Breakdown

[Russell]

Let's just say we're sorry and make things better

[All]

Communication Breakdown

[Vinnie]

Would you like it more if we wrote you a letter?

[All]

Communication Breakdown

[Penny Ling]

Why are we unhappy when we know what to do?

[All]

Communication Breakdown

[Blythe Baxter]

Won't you tell me the truth mom

Cause I don't have a clue

Won't you tell me the truth?

Blythe: [Sigh]
Roger: Everything okay, Blythie? 
Blythe: Oh. It's just something I read in Mom's journal.
Roger: Your mom's journal, huh? Mind if I take a look?
Blythe: No! Well, it's just that it's Mom's personal thoughts and all. Just a lotta girly stuff. Know what I mean?
Roger: Oh. Well, in that case, the only advice I can offer is that you go back to the source and double-check that you didn't misinterpret anything. That's the first thing I do when I run into a problem.
Blythe: OMG, dad. are you admitting that you misinterpret things?
Roger: [Laugh] Yes! Isn't that amazing?
Blythe: Thanks for the advice, dad.
Roger: Absolutely. That's what we dads are here for. Well, that and opening jars of spaghetti sauce. [Laughs]
Blythe: Back to the source, huh? [Gasp] What the what?

Sunil: Russell, I must admit that I am surprised that you are participating in such outrageous stunts.
Russell: Nothing's too outrageous when you're in the 'boy cave'.
Sunil: All righty then. Are you ready, Vinnie?
Vinnie: Ready!
Russell: [Screams]
[Thunk]
Vinnie: Hey, that was a lot closer, Russell! Next time I bet you'll hit the melon!
Russell: [Muffled] So are you two thinking what I'm thinking?
Vinnie: Oh, yeah! Wait... That's always a dangerous question for me? What are you thinking?
Sunil: That the girls would never have allowed us to do this!
Russell: [Grunt] No. That they would've had a blast doing it, too.
Vinnie: I miss them! Ugh! Did I say that out loud?
Russell: No, you're right. I miss them, too. C'mon, let's go patch things up.

Blythe: Youngmee, you're not going to believe what I just discovered. Not. Gonna. Believe it!
Youngmee: Well, what am I not gonna believe?
Blythe: Look! The rest of my mom's entry was on a page that fell out! She must've stuck it in the back of her journal!
Youngmee: I don't believe it!
Blythe: And you're also not gonna believe what the full entry says. 'The ability to communicate with pets can disappear...'
Youngmee: '...if you take a certain brand of awful-tasting herbal cold medicine.' No way!
Blythe: [Laugh] Guess I kind of overreacted a little, huh?
Youngmee: Define 'a little'.
Both: [Laugh]

Russell: A-hem. Hello. We were just wondering... What I mean to say is...
Sunil: Russell, Vincent, and I would like to inquire if...
Vinnie: We wanna come back!
Girls: Yay!
Pets: [Happy chattering]
Blythe: Awwww. Isn't that nice?
Russell: Blythe! We're moving back into the day camp!
Blythe: Giving up your 'boy cave', huh? And you girls? You're gonna make some room for the boy stuff?
Pepper: Sure, why not?
Zoe: You know what? It's not 'girl stuff' or 'boy stuff'; it's just 'our stuff'!
Blythe: You pets are the best! I don't know what I'd do without you!
Vinnie: [Grunt] This is nice and all, but I preferred her hula dance.

Pets: [Snoring]
Zoe: [Barks]
