(THEME MUSIC)
You're going to love this game, Chloe.
How do you play it?
Dad, can you explain it?
(BURBLES) (BOTH LAUGH)
OK. I'll explain it.
Dad's the octopus. That's why he talks like that.
(BURBLES)
And we're fish or something,
and we have to steal his treasure
and get back to our fish home.
Ah, is that all the rules, Dad?
(BURBLES) (BOTH LAUGH)
This episode of Bluey is called Octopus.
Come on, Chloe! Eee! How are we going to get past?
Don't worry. Octopuses aren't very smart. Watch.
Look! A robin! (BURBLES)
Come on! (SQUEALS)
(BURBLES)
Chloe! Help! What do I do?
Do that knee thing you do. OK.
Oop! Oop!
(BURBLES)
Ah! I'm free!
BOTH: Hooray!
(BURBLES) (BOTH LAUGH)
Now we have to get back!
Let me try.
Look! (BURBLES)
A cockatoo!
(BOTH SQUEAL) (BURBLES)
BOTH: Hooray!
I told you they're not very smart.
(DOORBELL RINGS) My dad's here.
See you, Bluey. Bye, Chloe!
Mmm-hmm-hmm. (BURBLES)
(LAUGHS)
Dad, can you play Octopuses with me when we get home?
It's so much fun.
Um, yes, OK. That sounds like a good way to learn about sea creatures.
There. Now you have to be an octopus.
Um, OK. (CLEARS THROAT)
Hi. I'm an octopus.
Octopuses don't talk like that.
Well, octopi don't talk at all.
Yeah, they do. They go... (BURBLES)
Blub, blub?
Yeah, like that, but more.
Blub, blub, blub, blub?
And you have to wave your arms about.
They're actually called tentacles.
OK, you have to wave your tentacles about.
Blub, blub... (SIGHS) Look, this all feels a bit silly.
I think I'm just going to be a quiet octopus.
OK. This is your treasure.
I don't think an octopus would have treasure.
That's more of a pirate thing.
But he has to. And I have to steal it.
Ready? Ah, I guess.
Look, a robin!
Why would a robin be under the sea?
Dad! You're not meant to be smart.
You're an octopus.
OK, got it.
(SQUEALS, LAUGHS)
Let me try again.
Ah! Got you again.
Ah, Dad, you're making it too hard.
OK, OK. Go again. I'll make it easy.
Dad, now it's too easy.
Oh! My knees.
Let's try swapping.
(BURBLES)
(LAUGHS) OK, here we go.
(HUMS)
Got it.
No, Dad, you have to go along this bit.
But this is the safer route.
Dad! OK, OK, I'll go this way.
And...go!
(BURBLES)
I win. (SIGHS)
What's up, Chloe? Is the game over?
Yes.
You're not playing it properly.
But this is how I play it.
Hmm.
Bluey's dad is more fun than you.
Oh. I see.
(SAD MUSIC)
Hi, Dad. Hey, Chloe.
What are you reading?
Oh, I'm reading facts about octopi.
Oh! How come?
Well, I thought maybe it will help me play your octopus game better.
Oh.
Turns out octopi are actually quite smart.
Really? And you WERE right.
They do collect treasure. See?
They collect objects to make their houses strong.
Ooh. Wow.
So I'm sorry I said you were wrong.
Well, I'm sorry I said Bluey's dad is more fun than you.
That's OK. He probably is.
But you're fun, too. Really.
It's just that every time I do something, you say,
"No, but octopuses don't do that."
Do I? Yes.
Well, that's funny because I feel like every time I say something,
you say, "No, octopuses don't do that."
Oh. Well, how about this rule?
No-one is allowed to say, "No, but octopuses don't do that."
OK. What should we say instead?
How about we can say, "Yes! This octopus does that"?
Yeah, but in octopus, that sounds a bit like this.
(BURBLES) (LAUGHS)
Yeah! (LAUGHS)
Is there any more things about octopuses?
Well, yeah, look.
When an octopus is scared and wants to escape,
it can shoot at a cloud of ink.
Wow! Ooh, what's that?
An electric eel. It's an eel that can make its own electricity.
Wow!
Animals don't like being hurt,
so they do all sorts of things to avoid it.
Oh. What else is there?
Well, see this? It's a flying fish.
A fish that can fly?!
Yeah, just small distances, but still.
That's clever.
(KNOCKS ON DOOR)
Hey, Bluey. Hey, Chloe.
Do you want to play octopus with us? Ooh, OK.
(BURBLES)
OK. This time we're eels.
Got it! I'll be a south mariba octopus.
Oh, no! That's a poisonous one.
You have to freeze for four seconds if he touches you.
Ooh, OK. Let's go!
(BURBLES) (SQUEALS)
Bluey! He got you!
One, two, three... Don't worry.
I'm an electric eel. Zzz! (BURBLES)
Oh, wow! Ha-ha!
Got your treasure!
(BURBLES) (BOTH LAUGH)
How will we get back?
Watch this!
Look! A flying fish!
(BOTH LAUGH) (BURBLES)
Ahh! He squirted ink on you!
He did what?!
Octopi can squirt ink out.
I didn't know that!
Don't worry! I'll save you!
Zzzz! (SQUEALS, LAUGHS)
I made it! Ahh! He's got me!
Bluey! Help!
What do I do?
Turn into flat-backed sea turtle!
A what?
Grab the cushion! OK!
Here comes the turtle!
Pull me, turtle, pull me!
(GROANS)
Ha-ha! Let's go!
(BOTH SQUEAL) (BURBLES)
BOTH: Yay! We won!
That was so fun! Yeah, it was, wasn't it?
Can I be the octopus? Yeah.
Can the octopus be poisonous AND electric?
BOTH: Yeah. This octopus can.
