(Professor Quigley shows the final vowel) They're the vowels, they're the glue, (he holds each five vowels up) and each of them makes two sounds, together they make new sounds!

Professor Quigley: (sings) They're A, E, I, O, U. (all vowels exit the building and say their two sounds) Professor Quigley: (laughs) That's why some words are complex words! And Tad, do you remember when we made the vowels all sticky so they can hold words together? (cut to Tad, with a curious face, while Leap and Lily have happy faces) Well, the vowels can do something else really cool! They can make other sounds like in one of my favorite songs! Tad: Same letters but different sounds? That's crazy! But did you know that in the English language there are more than 26 different sounds? Many more! Professor Quigley: Yes indeedy! Twenty-six letters.

Professor Quigley: Tell me, Tad, how many letters are in the alphabet? Fade transition to Quigley with the Websley Alphabet Book) (Leap, Lily and Tad walk with Professor Quigley and Dad. Professor Quigley: Well, you kids get the idea. Professor Quigley: This is my patented "Absent Professor Device".Ībsent-Minded Professor Quigley: Far better than the original, don't you think?Ībsent-Minded Professor Quigley: But I'm. Complex Words Complex! With my marvelous machines, anyone can make complex words! And talk about high-tech, if you ever need help when I'm not around, just say the word, "Help".Ībsent-Minded Professor Quigley: Help, what seems to be the problem? Professor Quigley: Welcome to the super-duper state of the art. Lily: Look at that! To the point of the first time we were the petting zoo Frog, Professor Quigley, Leap, Lily, and Tad enter the factory) Frog: And these secrets are exactly what we want to show you today. Complex words have letters that just make different sounds when they're put together! Frog and Professor Quigley exit the factory) (down on the ground, the Frog Kids discover the brand new phonics factory) Frog: I'd say that makes one, two, three, four, five of us! Look! The kids have just arrived! Frog: I am so excited about our new factory! (then they take their hats off and put their canes away, and they start marching) Frog and Professor Quigley put on their hats and get their canes out, and they start dancing and singing, like they're putting on a show) Professor Quigley: I can't wait to start putting letters together to make complex words! They're some of my favorite words in the world! Professor Quigley: Simply spectacular, isn't it, Mr. Sign Letters: (singing) COMPLEX WORDS COMPLEX. When the dust clears, the letters to THE COMPLEX WORDS COMPLEX appear) (upon the O and R landing, dust appears, making Professor Quigley cough. Frog: Drop them, Professor! (Professor Quigley drops the O and R) Huh? Whoa! Frog, on the rooftop of a new factory, waves two flags) (Professor Quigley then presses a red button, which unleashes a letter R, which goes next to the O and then sings) Professor Quigley: A letter O is hanging on a rope, then reveals Professor Quigley in a helicopter, named Phonics Flyer, holding the O and singing Letter Song) (as the video begins, we see an aerial view of Alphaville.
