         Indeed it is.

00:01:31,851 --> 00:01:35,160
Yeah. I have a corner set aside 
     as your workstation/

36
00:01:43,566 --> 00:01:46,402

     Instructions, right?       

38
00:01:48,868 --> 00:01:51,066
  You should always read the    
     instructions before        

39

         this'll do.            

44
00:02:15,862 --> 00:02:18,632

         instructions.

  machine to get her badge!

 Yes... but... the truth is:    

47
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:26,805
 these instructions are very    
         confusing.             

48
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,413
  I can't even tell what I'm    
 building in the first place!   

49
00:02:30,448 --> 00:02:32,547
What are these diagrams supposed
             to be?             

50
00:02:32,582 --> 00:02:34,714
This looks like you're supposed 
             to...              

51
00:02:34,749 --> 00:02:36,749
 throw the box into the air?    

52
00:02:36,784 --> 00:02:40,148
 This looks like a pony playing 
    buckball on a mountain.     

53
00:02:40,183 --> 00:02:42,392
    Or are they in a valley?    

54
00:02:42,427 --> 00:02:44,262
 Are you supposed to add water? 

55
00:02:44,297 --> 00:02:46,330
'Cuz that sure looks like water.

56
00:02:46,365 --> 00:02:48,926

        arrows pointing?        

57
00:02:48,961 --> 00:02:51,368
  Looks like some parts are     
          missing.              

58
00:02:51,403 --> 00:02:54,096

        out step one...

  coming from Mt. Volcanope!

No. I'm not. I do not trot.

      when you're really a Solo

Solo Scouts are a troop of one.
