                              MUSEUM DIRECTOR
                    No.  I know someone who specializes
                    in covert artifact recovery.

                              CURATOR
                         (dismissive)
                    A thief?

                              MUSEUM DIRECTOR
                    She prefers the term... Explorer.

          REVEAL: DORA (Ariel Winter), pre-teen, is at the door. Her
          monkey BOOTS is on her shoulder. She's deadly serious.

                              DORA
                    Hola mi amigos.

          An ELECTRONIC VERSION of the DORA THEME starts. CUT TO:

          INT. SECURITY OFFICE

          The director and Dora review security footage of an OLDER
          MAN in a BANDITO MASK and GLOVES stealing the orb.

                              MUSEUM DIRECTOR
                    Cameras captured a man in a purple
                    mask and gloves removing the orb.

                              DORA
                         (to herself)
                    Swiper.  You old fox.

                              MUSEUM DIRECTOR
                    Do you know where to find him?

                              DORA
                    No.  But I know someone who does.

          INT. INTERROGATION ROOM

          A SKETCHY INFORMANT takes a swig from a flask.

                              MAP
                         (drunk, singing)
                    I'm the map!  I'm the map!  I'm the
                    map!

          WHAM. Dora slams him down on the table.

                              DORA
                    Cut the crap, Map!  Where'd Swiper
                    take the orb?

          GRAPHICS: On a MAP, a plane traces a dotted line to SOUTH
          AMERICA.

          TITLE: COMING THIS SUMMER...

          INT. JANITOR'S CLOSET

          Dora KICKS DOWN A DOOR. She scans the room with a her gun,
          then talks DIRECTLY TO CAMERA.

                              DORA
                    I need your help.  If you see
                    Swiper, say his name out loud, OK?

          SPIN TO REVEAL: A Janitor smoking a cigarette.

                              JANITOR
                    Uh, que?

          EXT. JUNGLE

          Dora swings from vines through the jungle.

                              DORA (V.O.)
                    There's someone I need to see.

                              DORA
                    Hello Diego.

                              DIEGO (O.S.)
                    Dora.  It's been a while.

          REVEAL: Diego is a SHIRTLESS MEGA-HUNK.

                              DIEGO  
                         (holds up seven fingers)
                    I haven't seen you since I was this
                    many.

          TITLE: AND THE WRITERS OF YO GABBA GABBA

          INT. WAREHOUSE

          Dora and Boots are pinned down under heavy fire behind some
          crates. Dora runs out of ammo. She takes off her backpack.

                              DORA
                    Backpack!  Activate!

          It talks through a flashing light:

                              BACKPACK
                    Hola Dora!  Soy backpack.  What do
                    you need?

                              DORA
                    A miracle would be a nice start!

          TITLE: ADVENTURE GOES BILINGUAL

          INT. ROOFTOP

          Swiper has Dora tied to a chair. Boots is tied to a TINY
          CHAIR.

                              SWIPER
                    Join me, Dora.  Together we'll be
                    the greatest swipers the world has
                    ever seen.

          Dora spits in his face.

                              SWIPER
                    Charming.

          Swiper SLAPS her.

          EXT. JUNGLE

          Dora and Boots run from an EXPLOSION.

                              DORA
                    Boots!  Vamanos!
                         (beat, to camera)
                    That means hurry.

          EXT. JUNGLE

          Behind Dora, Swiper LEANS OUT OF A BUSH. Diego raises his
          gun. Every time we cut back to Dora, Swiper's peeking out
          from behind a different object in the BG.

                              DIEGO
                    Swiper!  He's right behind you!

                              DORA
                    Where!?

                              DIEGO
                    RIGHT BEHIND YOU!

                              DORA
                    Where?  Do you see Swiper?

          Diego GROANS.  Fires.

          EXT. ABANDONED BUILDING

          With a gun battle going on in the background, we see Dora
          and Swiper fighting. Swiper has the orb in his hands.

                              DORA
                    SWIPER!  NO!  SWIPING!

          Dora grabs the orb and runs away from the building dodging
          bullets. A beeping sound grabs Swipers attention. He turns
          and sees a bomb.

                              SWIPER
                         (snaps his fingers)
                    Oh, man.

          The building explodes.
