Script
Gray lines describe what happens on screen. The bold lines are what Drip says.
Drip in a tiny submarine shrinks down and dives into a kid's water bottle.
Today we're going on a ride. Inside YOU!
A bright water park inside the body: slides, tubes, a lazy river.
More than half of your body is made of water. That's right: you're basically a walking water park!
Brainy waves from the top of a slide.
Meet Brainy, your brain. Brainy needs water to think fast, remember stuff and pay attention.
Pumpy bounces on a trampoline, pumping blue tubes.
This is Pumpy, your heart. Water helps your blood flow, so Pumpy doesn't have to work so hard.
Musclo lifts a tiny barbell, then wobbles when the water slide runs dry.
And Musclo, your muscles! Without water, Musclo gets tired and crampy. With water, Musclo is ready to run, jump and play.
Slides dry up for a second, the crew droops, then Drip pours in a glass and the whole park lights up.
When the water runs low, the whole park slows down. Refill, and everything's back on!
- Recap
Water helps Brainy think, Pumpy pump and Musclo move. Sip, sip, hooray!
