Trivia

 * The title of the movie The Wiggles were making in this episode was the same one used in 1997 by The OG Wiggles (Anthony, Greg, Jeff, and Murray) and 20th Century Fox in Australia, although that title was mentioned in the trailer for the Magical Adventure and Dorothy's Magical Birthday titles used in 2002 and 2003 by HIT Entertainment in the USA and Canada.
 * Three photos of the Healthy Habits with Dorothy segment are posted on Dorothy the Dinosaur's Instagram page to promote World Allergy Week of 2022.

Transcript
(The episode starts with Dorothy holding a blue handkerchief)

Dorothy: Oh, hi everyone, My nose is a bit runny, so I'm going to blow my nose into my handkerchief. If you ever have a runny nose you can use a tissue as well, but I prefer my hanky. First, you unfold the handkerchief, then, (she puts the handkerchief over her nose with both her hands) you take a deep breath (She inhales) and blow out of your nose. (She blows her nose into her handkerchief) finally, you wipe your nose with the handkerchief, (She wipes her nose with her handkerchief) Ah that feels much better, now that I've blown my nose, I have to clean my hanky. I'll douse it in soap, and put it under clean running water. (She rubs a bar of soap on her handkerchief, then puts it under the water pump in her garden, and the camera fades to her hanging her hanky on her washing line) Now my hanky is clean, and my nose is no longer runny.

Anthony: G'day, I'm Anthony. Me and my friends just got back from watching a film, a movie. It was fantastic, it was splendid!

Simon: It sure was Anthony, it would be great to star in a movie

Captain: Oh yes Simon, I would love to be on the big screen too

Shirley Shawn: Scrumptious

Lachy: And Shirley Shawn would too.

Anthony: Hey guys, I just had an idea that I think we'll all agree on. Why don't we make our own movie?

Tsehay: Ah, brilliant idea Anthony! But we will need a director to keep everything in perfect working order.

Captain: Hoo-hoo, nobody can direct a pirate crew to keep a perfect working order better than me, I'll be the director.

Lachy: OK Captain, you can be the director. And we'll also need a cameraman to capture all the moments in the film.

Henry: Oh, I'll be the cameraman Lachy! With my eight tentacles, I can film with eight cameras and get all the best shots.

Wags: Ruff ruff!

Anthony: Oh, Wags would like to be the boom operator. The person who holds the microphone on a long stick so people can hear what's going on during the movie. Great choice Wags!

Tsehay: Shirley Shawn, what would you like to be?

Shirley Shawn: Scrumptious! (Taps the flashlight button on Lachy's phone)

Lachy: Hey! Oh, the light operator, great choice! That way, people can see what's happening in the movie more clearly.

Simon: And Wiggles and Dorothy, the rest of us can be, actors!

Anthony: Ooh actors! That's the best part! They act out all the scenes in the movie!

Dorothy: Umm...

Captain: What's the matter, Dorothy?

Dorothy: I'm not so sure about being an actor. I'm a little shy.

Tsehay: Oh It's ok to be shy Dorothy. You don't have to be an actor. But you know what we do need? An audience to watch the film. You can make some posters and other announcements so that people know about our movie.

Dorothy: Oh, ok.

Captain: (in megaphone) Alright me hearties, let's start making the movie!

Anthony: Let's Captain, let's!

(it then cuts to The Wiggles and their friends getting ready to make the movie at Sydney's Royal Botanical Gardens but they have a few accidents)

Captain: Now now me hearties, let's not make this chaotic! Everyone, please set up in a separate area, not all in one spot!

Simon: Thank you for the tip Captain. With lots of jobs to do, it's best to not get crowded where it needs to be done.

Lachy: No one likes a crowded workplace.

Captain: Now, time to check in on our actors, and see if they're ready. (In megaphone) Are you ready to act Wiggles?

Tsehay: Woah! Yes, we're ready captain we've gone through the script and selected our roles.

Lachy: I think my role fits me perfectly. I'm the one who wears purple, has curly hair, loves to play piano, and loves to sleep. Hey, that sounds an awful lot like me.

Anthony: (He's laughing) That's because it is you Lachy. The movie is about us, The Wiggles!

Dorothy: That's why I came up with the title of the movie and put it on this poster, which I'll hang up along with the rest around wiggle town for everyone to see. The movie's called...(She unrolls the poster) "The Wiggles Movie".

Lachy: Wow, that sounds fantastic!

Captain: That's right me hearties, so let's get started (in megaphone) Places Everyone!

Tsehay: Dorothy, are you sure you don't want to act? I think you'd be great!

Dorothy: Oh, well thank you Tsehay. I'd love to, but I'm just too shy.

Captain: Places Tsehay!

Tsehay: Oh, that's my cue!

Captain: Action!

(The Wiggles start doing their favourite things all at once, then later are in the "Pre-electric big red car doing their actions to the funny version of Quack Quack, and then coming out of the wigglehouse, each wearing each others skivvies.)

Captain: Hoo-hoo me hearties! We're onto the finale scene in the movie!

Simon: And what's the scene Captain?

Captain: You're dancing and singing a party song, with a special birthday girl.

Anthony: And who's the special birthday girl?

Captain: Oh, um, well, let me check the script. (He picks up the script and reads to the final scene but then looks up in a panic) Oh No!

Wiggles: Oh What?

Captain: Oh No!

Wiggles: Oh What?

Captain: We forgot to find an actor to play the special birthday girl!

Lachy: So, if we can't find someone to play the birthday girl...

Tsehay: Then we can't finish our movie!

Captain: Oh, (Into megaphone) Pack it up everyone. The movie... is cancelled.

Dorothy: Wait, wait!

Lachy: Huh?

Tsehay: Huh?

Simon: Huh?

Anthony: Huh?

Dorothy: I can be the birthday girl

Lachy: But Dorothy, I thought you didn’t want to act in the movie.

Dorothy: well, seeing as you needed someone to play the birthday girl, I changed my mind

Simon: Fantastic

Captain: (in megaphone) Alright everyone, the movie is back in production

(Everyone cheers and gets back to their places to film the scene and it fades to The Wiggles watching the movie in the theater)

Simon: You made a great birthday girl Dorothy

Dorothy: Thanks Simon (She giggles)

(The logo transition takes us to Lachy sleeping in his bed and The Wiggles and their friends wake him up with the song, Wake Up Lachy)

Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Lachy!

Tsehay: (singing) Everybody's wiggling.

Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Lachy!

Tsehay: (singing) We really need you.

Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Lachy!

Tsehay: (singing) You're missing all the fun now.

Wake Up Lachy before the day's through.

What's that sound? I can hear somebody snoring.

What's that sound? It's not Simon or Tsehay.

Anthony's awake so let's have another guess now.

Oh my goodness! It must be Lachy!

Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Lachy!

Tsehay: (singing) Everybody's wiggling.

Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Lachy!

Tsehay: (singing) We really need you.

Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Lachy!

Tsehay: (singing) You're missing all the fun now.

Wake Up Lachy before the day's through.

(Guitar solo for an instrumental break, while Lachy's snoring.)

Tsehay: (singing) Dorothy the Dinosaur is munching on some roses.

Wags the Dog is digging up bones.

Henry the Octopus is dancing round in circles.

Wake Up Lachy! We need you for the show!

Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Lachy!

Tsehay: (singing) Everybody's wiggling.

Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Lachy!

Tsehay: (singing) We really need you.

Wiggles: (singing) Wake Up Lachy!

Tsehay: (singing) You're missing all the fun now.

Wake Up Lachy before the day's through.

Lachy: (He's yawning.) Would you keep that noise down? I'm trying to sleep.
