Pinto, the Pony Express/Gallery

Snapshots

[Ah. The episode begins on a hot day in the Wild, Wild West of North America!]

Look! Two cowpokes on a super-fast pony!

Who's riding on the pony?

Right!
Howdy, Cowpokes Dora and Boots! What's up?

"¡Hola!"

"(Soy) I'm Dora…

the cowgirl!"

(Twirls her hat) And…is that "Cowboy" Boots next to her?

Yes, indeed! "And I'm

Boots…

the cowboy!" he said.

He acts like a cowboy. "YEE-

HAW!!!"

Silly Boots!

(both laughing)

Dora has a question for the viewer. That being: "Do you like

ponies?" (She pets the pony she's riding.)

So, what do you think?

Go ahead and tell them your thoughts!

Well, Dora does! "I

LOVE ponies!" she replied, petting her pony again.

(Pony whinnies) What's your pony friend's name, Dora?

"This is Pinto!"

"Pinto is ONE FAST

pony!"

"DORA!"

"BOOTS!"

Hey! It's Val the Octopus at the saloon window!

She has a request: "I need YOUR help

to deliver

a special package to Benny the Bull!" (What's in it?)

"Inside are cowboy cookies!"

"Cowboy

cookies?!" (Dora gets the bag.)

"YUM-MY!"

"Oh, Benny will be SO HAPPY!"

"He LOVES cowboy cookies!"

HOWEVER… "But you have to be VERY careful!" Val says. (Why?)

"Because there's SOMEONE ELSE

who really loves cowboy cookies!"

She unveils a wanted poster of a familiar foe.

Do you know who THIS is a picture of?

Right! It's a picture of Swiper the Fox!

(imitates a Southern drawl) "Yeah, Swiper

LOVES cowboy cookies!" says Boots.
(Then we've got to defeat him and he will be dead or alive if we will win the reward of money!)

"He'll be after the cookies the WHOLE trip!"

"WE can do it!"

"COME ON! Let's ride Pinto the FASTEST pony

and take the cowboy cookies to Benny!"

"YEE-HAW!" she yelled.

Boots ties the cookie bag to Pinto's saddle.

And off they go!

"Good luck, vaqueros!" said Val.

"Hey, Dora!" said Boots.

(imitates Southern drawl) "Where do we go to find Benny?"

[That's right; it's important to know where their recipient is so they can deliver the cookies to him!]

"Let's stop and think," Dora said.

Pinto stops.

Now help them out!

"Who do we ask for help, when we don't know which way to go?"

Guess WHO!

Boots knows! "The Map!"

Right! The Map can tell us

where to find Benny!

You have to say, "Map"!

Where is he?

There he is in a cowboy hat! Cowboy Map!

"Say, 'Map'! Say, 'Map'!" said Boots.

Come on! Say his name and he will spring right out of Backpack!

Great! (SPRIIIIIING!)
Let's see what he says!

[This here is the map for the episode.]

(Cowboy) Map is ready for work! "Howdy, partners!" he says, in a Southern drawl. "I'm the Map!"
"Dora and Boots need to deliver the Cowboy Cookies to Benny!"

"Well, AH know where Benny is; he's at his barn!" Listen very carefully to the directions!

To get to Benny's Barn, first you go through the Gold Tunnel.

Then you go through Rattlesnake Rocks.

(snakes rattling)

And that's how you get to Benny's Barn and find Benny!

So you tell Dora: Tunnel, Rocks, Benny's Barn!

"HOW do we find Benny?" (Look who's joining in for the Picture Pop-Up Sequence! It's Boots!)

Tunnel, Rocks, Benny's Barn!
She repeats Cowboy Map's instructions: "First we go through the Gold Tunnel;"

"Then we go through Rattlesnake Rocks;"

(snakes rattling)

"And that's how we'll get to Benny's Barn and find Benny!"

So first we need to go through the Gold Tunnel.

Do you see the Gold Tunnel?

Right there.

Right, there it is!

"Boots, we'd better hurry!"

"Come on, vaqueros!

Let's take the cookies

to Benny!"

"YEE-HAW!!!" Boots said.

"Giddyap, Pinto!" Dora told him.

(Pinto whinnying)

Off they go!

Come on,

say it with us!

Tunnel, Rocks,

Benny's Barn!

Tunnel, Rocks,

Benny's Barn!

Tunnel, Rocks,

Benny's Barn!

Tunnel,

Rocks,

BENNY'S BARN!

Come on, vamonos!

Everybody,

let's go!

Come on, let's get to it!

I know that we can do it!

Where are we going?

(CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!)

Benny's Barn!

Where are we going?

(CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!)

Benny's Barn!

WHERE are we going?!

(CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!)

(There's the Fiesta Trio on rocking horses!)
Benny's Barn!

WHERE are we going?!?

(CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!)

BENNY'S BARN!

(both giggling)

(Because they're riding Pinto, they cannot spin this time.)

BENNY'S

BARN!!!

"GALOPA, PINTO!"

"YEE-

HAW!!!"

"Hey, Dora!"

"That cactus is

in our way!"

(A cactus with a tail?)

"We need to go around it."

Pinto walks to the side.

The "cactus" blocks them.

Now he walks the other direction.

The cactus blocks their way.

Now Boots is suspicious. "That's a funny cactus! It keeps moving!"

The "cactus" won't let them move.

"Hmm..."

"I don't think that's just a cactus!"

"Is that just a cactus?"

(Absolutely not! It has a familiar orange tail in it!)

"WHO'S inside that cactus?!"

Swiper?

Yep!

"SWIPERRRR!!!" they both hollered.

Looks like Val was right when she warned them!

"He’s comin' after the cowboy cookies, Dora!"

"We have to say, 'Swiper, no swiping'!"

Get ready to stop that cowboy cookie bandit!

Swiper, no swiping!

Swiper, no swiping!

Swiper, NO swiping!

That was close!

"Aww,

maaan!"

"I REALLY

want

those cookies!" he said desperately while leaving.

And there he goes! (For now, anyway.)

We stopped Swiper!

Thanks for helping!

"But I bet you

Swiper'll be back

to try to

swipe those

cookies!" Boots said.

(Well, we know what to do if he does!)

"GIDDYAP, PINTO!"

(Pinto whinnying)

Here it is!

"Hey, look!" said Boots. "There's the Gold Mine,

and there's Isa!" (She's dressed like a cowgirl in yellow color.)

"Howdy,

Isa!" said Dora.

"Hi, Dora!"

"Hi, Boots!"

"That's a fine lookin' pony!"

Pinto whinnies hello.

(laughing)

"Where are you cowpokes headin'?"

They climb off of Pinto.

"We're on our way to deliver Cowboy Cookies to Benny!"

"But first, we have to get through

this Gold Tunnel."

Isa asks them, "How are you going to see?"

"It gets REAL dark in the Gold Tunnel."

"DARK?!" Boots said shockingly.

"Dora, she said it gets dark!"

"We need something to help us see in the dark!

I might have something in my Backpack."

She asks, "I need YOUR help! Will you check my backpack to find something we can use to see in the dark?"

You know what to do!

You have to say, "Backpack!"

Say, "Backpack!" Say, "Backpack!"

Say it!

She didn't hear you. "LOUDER!!!"

(BACKPACK!)

"¡Hola, vaqueros! (Hello, cowpokes!)" says Backpack. "I have lots of stuff! But Dora needs you to find something she can use to see in the dark!"

Can she use this to see in the dark?

Oops! That's a horseshoe!

Can she use this to see in the dark?

Oops! That's a camera!

Can she use THIS to see in the dark?

Right! Dora can use the lantern! Excelente!

Catch it, Dora!

"What a great lantern!"

"Now,

we can see in the dark! Thanks!"

Cowgirl Isa has advice. Listen carefully!

"To find your way through

the Gold Tunnel,

you need to follow the

SEVEN Gold

Stones."

Dora pictures her instructions. "SEVEN gold stones."

"Thanks, Isa!"

"You're welcome!"

"Good luck, vaqueros!"

See any gold stones?

"To find our way through the tunnel, we need to follow the

Seven Gold Stones."

She says, "Count with me!"

Ready?

One,

two,

three,

four,

five,

six,

seven!

Seven Gold Stones!

Good counting!

"And look!" said Boots.

"There's

the way out!"

They made it! Dora doesn't need the lantern anymore.

Backpack catches it. "Yum-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum…

¡DELICIOSO!"

Look who else came out of the tunnel! The Fiesta Trio!

Boots loses his cowboy hat.

What's he going to do?

He lassos it with his tail.

That's better.

"Where do we go next,

Cowgirl Dora?"

She pulls Cowboy Boots into Pinto's back.

Help them out!

We went through the Gold Tunnel, so next comes…?

The rocks, right! Rattlesnake Rocks!

(Pinto whinnying)

"¡GALOPA, PINTO!"

"YEEEE-

HAAAAW!!!"

(Now where are the rocks?)

Do you see the rocks?

Where are they?

Right here!

"Yeah, THERE they are!" said Boots.

"Rattlesnake Rocks!"

"Come on, vaqueros!"

"Let's take the cookies to Benny!"

"YEEEE-HAAAW!!!" said Boots.

"GIDDYAP, PINTO!"

(whinnying)

(Everything changes in this second travel song, so here we go!)

Come on,

say it with us!

Tunnel, Rocks, Benny's Barn! (First, the screen shows them close up)

Tunnel, Rocks, Benny's Barn! (Then, it shows them far away.)

Tunnel, Rocks, Benny's Barn! (Another close up)

Tunnel, Rocks, (And this time, REALLY far so we can see the sun!)

BENNY'S BARN!

Down the hills they go!

Come on, vamonos!

Everybody,

let's go!

Come on, let's get

to it!

I know that we can do it!

Where are we going?

(CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!)

Benny's Barn!

Where are we going?

(CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!)

Benny's Barn!

WHERE are we going?!

(CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!)

[Hey, who's riding in that padwagon?]

[It's the Fiesta Trio!]
Benny's Barn!

WHERE are we going?!?

(CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!)

BENNY'S BARN! (This time, the Fiesta Trio is riding on that padwagon.)

BENNY'S BARN!!!

"¡GALOPA, PINTO!" Dora said.

And they both shout, "YEE-HAW!!!"

Up that cliff.

"Remember, Boots,

we have to be careful and watch out for

Swiper the Fox!"

"I don't see that sneaky fox

ANYWHERE…"

Maybe YOU can help them look.

Hey, look! A tumbleweed!

(Look over there!)

Dora asks, "Do YOU see Swiper?"

"Where?!"

(Behind that tumbleweed!)

"Yeah! There he is!"

(You know the drill!) "We have to say,

'Swiper, no swiping'!"

Get ready!

Swiper, no swiping!

Swiper, no swiping!

Swiper, NO swiping!

"Aww,

maaan!"

They stopped him AGAIN!

"WE STOPPED SWIPER!"

"Thanks for helping!"

"Now let's take

the cookies to Benny!"

"YEE-HAW!"

"GIDDYAP, PINTO!

¡RÁPIDO!"

(Whinnying)

"Dora, LOOK! WE'RE HEADING RIGHT FOR THAT CLIFF!"

"OH, NO!!!!" Dora cried.

"WE HAVE TO STOP!"

"Tell Pinto to stop!"

"¡Para, Pinto! ¡PARA!"

Hold on tight!

And the sack of cookies slipped! "THE COOKIES,

THE COOKIES!!!" yelled Boots.

There it goes!

"Quick, Dora!

We have to catch those cookies!"

"I know,

I can use my

silver lasso!"

She says, "I need your help to twirl the lasso!"

Put your arm in the air,

and...

twirl your lasso!

Twirl, and twirl,

and twirl, and twirl,

AND

TWIIIIIIIIRL!!!

"GOT it!"

GOT IT!

"Now help me PULL the cookies up!"

Put your arms out in front of you and

pull,

pull,

pull,

pull!

"YEE-HAAAAW!!!"

"Good lassoing!"
(Hope you will teach your female cousin to learn how to twirl with her new lasso soon!)

Let's go! GIPPYAP!

(rattling)

"Hear that, Boots?"

"It sounds like we've come upon Rattlesnake Rocks."

"Remember, we have to be careful not to step on any rattlesnakes."

The snakes know Spanish; so to tell each snake to stop, we say:

"Para!" (Like what Dora said to Pinto earlier before the cookies slipped.)

Can you say "para"?

Can you?

Say, "Para!"

Go on, try it!

Great!

Here we go!

(rattling)

Sounds like a snake!

"Look!" said Boots. "Here it comes!"

We have to tell it to stop!

Say, "Para!"

"¡Para!" they said to the snake.

The snake heard you and he stopped.

Just in time, too! WHEW!

(snake rattles)

"OH, NO!" cried Boots.

"Sounds like another snake!"

Say, "Para!"

"¡PARA!"

(snake rattling)

Sounds like

another snake!

Say, "Para!"

"¡PARA!"

"WHEW!" said Boots. "It stopped."

(snake rattles)

"Say it

with us!"

"¡PARA!"

(Rattling)

"ONE more time!"

"¡PARA!"

Five snakes!

"That was close!"

Thanks for saying, "Para"!

"Now let's get outta here!!"

"GIDDYUP, PINTO! ¡¡RAPIDO!!"

The Fiesta Trio is rolling on a barrel!

(Be careful not to fall!)

"Where do we go next, Cowgirl Dora?"

They find a place to stop.

Now let's help them!

We made it through the Gold Tunnel;

Through Rattlesnake Rocks;

So next comes...?!

BENNY'S BARN! Right!

Almost there!

Do you see Benny's Barn?

Where is it?

Right there!

"Yeah, look! THERE it is!"

"Come on, vaqueros! Let's take the cookies to Benny!"

"GIDDYAP, PINTO!"

"YEEEEE-HAAAAAW!!!"

They made it!

"We made it to Benny's Barn!"

"But where's Benny?"

[Help them find him!]
"Do you see Benny?"

There he is through the window! He's in a rocking chair playing his theme on a harmonica!

"Yeah, there he is!"

"BENNY! BENNY!"

"Hi, guys!" he called.

He'll be right out!

Here he comes!

"Benny,

we rode Pinto the FASTEST pony

to bring you a

SPECIAL delivery!"

"Oh, boy!

OH, BOY!

MY COWBOY COOKIES!"

"Thanks, guys!"

"Thanks, guys!"

"Thanks, Pinto!"

(hooves click)
They high-five each other.

"You're welcome!"

(Whinnying)

(rustling)

What was that?

"Oh no! That sounds like Swiper the Fox!"

"Swiper!" said Boots.

"That sneaky fox keeps trying to swipe

your cowboy cookies!" he tells Benny.

If YOU see Swiper the fox, yell "SWIPER!".

(ZOOP!) There he is on top of the roof!

"Do you

see Swiper?" (He disappeared!)

"I don't see him!" (Do YOU?)

Now he's back again!

"He's around here somewhere!"

(He's gone again!)

"Stick together, Vaqueros!"

"WE know what to do!"

(Feel free to join in!)

There he is!

Swiper, no swiping!

Swiper, no swiping!

Swiper, NO swiping!

He stopped.

But look at his face. He looks a little sad.

"Oh,

maaan!"

That's THREE times!

Goodbye, Swiper!

"YEEEEE-HAAAAW!!!" cheered Dora and Boots.
"YAAAAAY!!!" cheered Benny.

"WE

STOPPED

SWIPER!!!"

(Pinto whinnying happily)

(If you joined in…) "Thanks for helping us stop Swiper!"

"Now we can ALL share

cowboy cookies!"

He looks in the bag.

"There's plenty for EVERYONE!"

(all cheering)

Let's see what they are...

[So we have cookies that look like a star, a horseshoe, a cactus, a boot, and a cowboy hat.]
"The cookie for Dora is shaped like a star. Can you find the star?"

"Right, there it is!"

"The cookie for Boots is shaped like a cowboy boot. Where's the boot?" (Perfect for Cowboy Boots!)

"Right, there it is!"

"The cookie for Pinto is shaped like a horseshoe. Where's Pinto's cookie?"

"Right, there it is!"

"My cookie is shaped like a cowboy hat. Where's MY cookie?"

"Right, there it is!"

(But WHO will get this last one?)

(chuckling)

"Oh, boy! OH, BOY!"

"Mmmm…!"

"Cowboy Cookies!"

"YUM!" Boots said.

(Whinnying happily)

"Hey, guys!" said Benny.

"There's one cookie left!"

"It's shaped

like a cactus!" (But WHO is it for? Will he have it for himself or someone else?)

Benny thought of an idea. "You guys, Swiper REALLY loves cowboy cookies!"

"He SURE does!" Boots replied.

(So that means…)

"I know!

Let's give this last cookie

to Swiper!" (How nice, Benny!)

"Yeah, we have to call him!"

"Will you help us call Swiper?"

Will you? They could make his day!

"GREAT!"

"Let's all say, 'SWIPER!!'"

"SWIPER!!!"

(Nothing happens)

"He didn't hear us!"

"Say it louder!"

Ready?

GO!

"SWIPER!!!!" they called.

"SWIPER!!!!!"

It worked! Here he comes.

Swiper is wondering what they want.

"Here's a cowboy cookie, Swiper!" said Benny. (Again, that's VERY nice of you, Benny! You're gonna make his day!)

Here he comes...

Swiper catches it.

He FINALLY got a cowboy cookie!

"Oh, YUM!" Swiper said.

He munches it.

(Hey! Aren't you supposed to say, "Thank you"? Well, he will later.)
"Yip-yip-yippee!" he cheered.

"YIP-YIP-YIPPEE!"

"YIP-YIP-YIPPEE!"

"YIP-YIP-YIPPEE!"

"YIP-YIP-YIPPEE!!"

Look how happy he is!

And so, he finally had his happy day!

"YEEEEE-HAAAAW!!!"

"WE DID IT!"

Now everybody dance!

We

did it!

We did it!

We did it!

YAY!

Lo hicimos!

Today we were vaqueros, and rode on a pony!

(song ends)

(click, beep)

We had such a fun trip today!

What was your favorite part of the trip?

Go on, tell them your most favorite part!

As always… "I liked that, too!" (What about YOU, cowpokes?)

Boots' favorite part was giving Swiper a cowboy cookie!

"YUMMY!" he said. (Swiper sure was happy!)

Dora's favorite part was finding

the seven gold stones.

"We couldn't have done it without Pinto!"

(Whinnies happily) Pinto really appreciates it!

"And YOU!

It's been nice riding with you, partner!"

"Thanks for helping!"

YEEEEE-

-HAAAAAW!!!!!

(Pinto whinnies goodbye)

(click, beep)
(Enjoy the rest of your day, vaqueros!)
