(Maribel looks at Boots, noticing the chocolate bar stuck on him)
Maribel: Uh.. what's he got on his space helmet?
Dora: Huh? What do you mean? Boots!
Boots: What?
Dora: How many times have I told you not to eat while wearing your helmet?!
Boots: Oh, sorry. (Tries to shake off the candy on his helmet, then trying to eat it, then nudging it, throwing it away)
Dora: Oh, and have I ever told you about my new friends. That's Dorothy and Ian.
Ian: Very nice to meet you. That's my friend, Dorothy.
Dorothy: Hi! I heard that Dora told you that she needed your help!
Maribel: Yeah. I guess you're right.
Dora: Ahem.. We need your help, Maribel!
(The USS Applepies appears from the screen)
Dora: (offscreen) Our starship, the USS Applepies is in grave danger!
Maribel: Oh, really? Tell me more!
Dora: In just eight minutes, the ship and its entire crew will be smashed to bits by a giant meteor!
Maribel: Good heavens! Well, couldn't you just move the ship out of the way?
Dora: That's just it. The Applepies is complete without power! Dead in the water! She can't budge an inch!
Boots: She's stuck.
Maribel: Oh dear. Well gee, how can I help?
Dora: Didn't you minor in aero-space technology at the Happy-Tots Preschool?
Maribel: Why yes! Yes I did!
Boots: What did you major in?
Dora: That's not important now.
Maribel: Play-doh.
Boots: Me too!
Dorothy: That's what he said!
Dora: No time for chit-chat! Junior, only you can save the Applepies! Lieutenant Boots, the shrinker beam!
Boots: Aye-Aye, Captain Dora!
(The spaceship brings Dora, Boots, Dorothy, Ian And Maribel inside and takes off in outer space)
Maribel: Uh, I think my helmet's on backwards.
(The ship disappears in the sky)
