- Open at The Heeler House. In the sitting room, Bluey, Bandit and Chilli are all in the sitting room; the parents watch Bluey scrub the floor with vigor - Bandit sipping on a cup and Chilli reading her magazine.
Bandit: You missed a spot, Bluey.
Bluey: Oh, do I have to get every bit?
Bandit: If you're gonna do something, do it properly.
Bluey: Okay...
- Bluey goes back to scrubbing as Bingo enters from screen right, holding something.
Bingo: Mum, what's this? [holding it up]
Chilli: Aww... that's your old papoose!
Bingo: Pa-poose?
Bandit: We used'ta walk you around the park with it instead of sleeping. [putting it on] Straps go 'round here... [pointing to the gap inside the papoose] ...and baby goes in here!
Bluey: Get in it, Bingo!
Bingo: Okay!
- Bingo gets on the sofa and slots herself into the gap.
Bandit: Hey! Oh, hang on - you're not a baby! [Bingo kicks his face] Oh-umph-Ow!
- Bingo giggles as she finds herself inside the papoose. Bluey has stopped scrubbing to see.
Bluey: [giggling] Look, Dad has a baby in his belly!
- Bingo giggles once more; Bluey gasps!
Bluey: I know what we can play! [her tail excitedly wags from to and fro]
Bandit: Oh, no. Don't say it!
- CUE TITLE CARD - Dad Baby - object shown is a dim-sim.
Bingo: [voiceover] This episode of Bluey is called "Dad Baby".
- Cut back to the sitting room. Bandit currently has a face that screams "Why do I gotta do this?"
Chilli: This... isn't gonna end well.
Bluey: Okay, you're pregnant with baby Bingo... [taps the papoose, making Bingo giggle] So you have to act pregnant!
Bandit: Okay. If we're gonna do this, let's do it properly!
- Bluey is now determined and excited! She smiles a wide smile as her tail wags to and fro.
Bandit: Hmm, how to act pregnant?
- Bingo pops out of the papoose. Chilli closes her magazine and rolls it up...
Chilli: I'm just gonna get this ready...
- Bandit clears his throat.
Bandit: [acting it out] Oh, my back! Oh, my feet! Grab my feet, Bluey... grab my feet.
- Bluey giggles.
Chilli: Bandit Heeler!
Bandit: I'm hungry! Oh, I need to sit down! Oh, where's my vitamin E cream? Something about stretch marks...
- Chilli whacks him with the mazagine, sending Bluey squealing and giggling!
Chilli: [as she whacks him] How dare you? You have no idea what I went through!
Bandit: How could you?! Ow-I'm with child!
- They run off! Bandit follows a giggling Bluey into the hallway.
Bandit: Oh, slow down, Bluey. It's hard to run... [looks behind him] Is she still following us?
- He turns around, knocking everything off the table.
Bingo: Ow!
Bandit: Whoops.
- Bingo giggles.
Bandit: [sighs] Ah, I better clean that up...
- He struggles to reach for the items.
Bandit: Oh, cheese and crackers! You're heavy, Bingo!
- Inside the papoose, Bingo giggles again.
Bandit: Bluey, can you clean this up for me, mate?
Bluey: Okay!
- Bluey gets to work cleaning up the items.
Bandit: I'm gonna sit down.
- Bluey is suddenly knocked to the floor by Bandit's papoose. She giggles.
Bluey: Watch it, big belly! [pats the papoose]
Bandit: Sorry.
- He knocks her to the side once again. She giggles.
Bandit: Oh, man. I'm hungry!
- Bandit follows Bluey into the kitchen.
Bluey: Okay, remember: you're eating for two people now.
Bandit: Sounds good to me.
- Bluey tries to open the fridge door, but is stopped by the papoose.
Bingo: Ow! Watch it.
- Second try's the charm.
Bluey: So... we've got cucumbers and radishes.
Bandit: Uh, I've actually got cravings for... these dim sims. [takes the plate]
Bluey: Dim sims?
Bandit: The baby wants dim sims.
- Bingo peeks out the papoose, visibly excited.
Bluey: Okay.
- As Bandit tries to eat one...
Bingo: [...takes the dim-sim with a...] Mine. [giggling]
Bandit: Hey!
- She giggles.
Bandit: I'll try again.
Bingo: [taking another] Mine. [giggles]
- Bluey joins in giggling.
Bandit: Right.
Bingo: [and another...] Mine. [...and another] Mine.
Bandit: Hey, Bingo, I'm hungry!
- Bingo is eating the dim-sims. She giggles. Now Bluey and Bandit exit to the backyard.
Bluey: C'mon! Pregnant people need exercise too.
Bandit: Oh, man, this thing is uncomfortable... Oh, my back... [leans backward] Forget this. I need to sit down.
- And sits down he does.
Chilli: [with a basket of laundry] How's it going, pregnant man?
Bandit: Oh-uh - [getting off the tree bench] yeah-uh... [almost goes off-balance but quickly corrects it] It's... too easy, man. Dunno what all the fuss is about.
Chilli: Oh, good.
- Bingo peeks out. Indeed, Bandit shows bravado, confidence, even. But...
Chilli: Well, soon, you'll start feeling the baby kicking...
- And now his confidence is gone. Bingo pops back inside.
Bandit: Oh, no... I'm sure that's not for a little while-
- He's wrong, for the baby starts to kick.
Bandit: Ow! Ow... ow!
- Inside...
Bingo: [kicking as she goes] Kick. Kick. Kick.
Bandit: Ohh, me gut...
- Inside, Bingo giggles as she continues to kick.
Chilli: Oh, you never forget that first kick...
Bandit: ...oh! Okay, that's a wrap, kids. [tries to hastily remove the papoose] C'mon, unclip...
Bluey: No, not yet! You haven't had the baby.
Bingo: Kick! He-he.
Bandit: Oh-ho! Too bad. [tugging on the papoose] How do you get this thing... off?!
Bluey: [reminding him that] You said if you're going to do something, do it properly!
Bingo: Kick!
Bandit: [as he tries to remove it still] Oh! That advice doesn't apply to me...
- ...but Bingo pokes her head out of the bottom of the papoose!
Bingo: Hello!
- Both Bluey and Bandit shriek!
Bluey: He's having a baby!
- Soon, Bandit finds himself in the swimming pool, panting hard. Now the baby needs to be delivered...
Bluey: What happens now?
Bandit: What are you asking me for? Aren't you the midwife?
Bluey: No, I'm just a friend. I work at a petrol station.
Bandit: What?!
Bingo: I'm comin' out...!
- Both Bluey and Bandit shriek once again!
Bandit: Well, who's gonna deliver my baby?
Someone off-screen: [Singing in background, out of shot from camera] 🎵 Hey, true blue / Is it me and you? 🎵
Bandit: Yes.
- Cut to Pat setting up a sprinkler in his garden.
Pat: 🎵 Is it Mum and Dad? Is it a- 🎵
- Bluey pokes over the fence.
Bluey: Uh, Lucky's Dad, can you give us a hand with something?
Pat: Yeah, no worries, Bluey.
- Cut to Pat kneeling beside a heavily-breathing Bandit.
Pat: I didn't know this was the something!
Bandit: Harden up, Pat.
Pat: But I don't know how to deliver a baby!
Bandit: I thought you grew up on a farm!
Pat: We grew sorghum!
- Lucky comes out of his house.
Lucky: Dad, the cricket's started!
Pat: I'm busy, mate! Just shout if there's a wicket!
Lucky: Okay!
- Lucky pops back inside.
Pat: [rolling up his sleeves] Well, how hard can this be? [rubbing his hands] I'll just grab a leg-
- He's bitten by Bingo, who giggles and slots back inside!
Pat: Ow! Hey, where are you goin'?!
Bingo: [giggling] I'm not goin' ANYWHERE!
- Bingo slotting back inside elicits a tickle, making Bandit laugh.
Bandit: Bingo, that tickles!
Pat: [ever-determined] Oh, we'll see about this!
- Bingo squeals as Pat grasps her leg.
Pat: I've got a foot!
Bluey: Pull!
- Pat tries to pull her out, but a squealing Bingo has grabbed onto Bandit's fur!
Bandit: Oh... she's got my belly hair!
- Pat continues to try to pull Bingo out.
Lucky: It's none for six, Dad!
Pat: Any boundaries?
Lucky: One boundary, two singles.
Pat: Who got the boundary?
- Well, Pat's distracted at the moment, so....
Bluey and Bandit: Focus!
Pat: Oh, yeah, sorry.
- And Pat goes back to pulling Bingo; soon afterward, he's finally made progress, getting the bum out.
Pat: Ohh, I can see the butt! I can see the butt!
Bluey: Keep pulling!
Pat: [continuing to try to pull her out] C'mon, you little...
- The dim-sims from earlier fall out.
Pat: I'm getting a lot of dim-sims!
Cut to Wendy in her garden.
Wendy: 🎵 Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside- 🎵
Pat: [from the Heeler yard] Push!
Bluey: [from the Heeler yard] Keep pulling!
Pat: Morning, Wendy!
- She turns around to look at the commotion, screams, and runs away. Bingo continues to lengthen the time it takes to deliver. This time, by tickling.
Bingo: Tickle-tickle-tickle-tickle. You'll never get me out!
- Bandit continues to laugh as Pat also continues to pull her out. Suddenly...
Bandit: Ow!
Pat: She's not budging! We may have to go through the sunroof!
Bandit: [truly exhausted] Just get this thing outta me!
- Bluey decides to throw her cap into the ring. She'll have a go...
Bluey: Give me a go.
- She pushes Pat off.
Bluey: Get outta the way.
Bluey: Okay. [rubs hands] I'll pull and you push.
Bandit: Okay!
Pat: Ooh, c'mon Bingo!
Bluey: Ready?
Pat and Bandit: Ready!
- Now, Bluey starts to pull as Pat and Bandit start to push, with Bingo giggling all the while. This time, she's made some progress!
Bluey: It's working! Keep pushing!
- They continue to do so...
Lucky: Dad, Sparky's out! Caught behind!
Pat: Oh, BISCUITS! Just gotta see this!- [tries to run inside but is pulled back] -oop!
Bandit: You're not going anywhere!
Bluey: Okay, baby, time to come out!
- They're now in the final stretch! Bingo continues to giggle as she gets pulled out further.
Bandit: SING TO ME, PAT!
Pat: Oh, yeah, righto... 🎵 Hey, true blue;.. 🎵
Bluey: Push, Dad!
Pat: 🎵 Is it me and you? 🎵
Bingo: Tickle tickle.
- Bandit laughs!
Pat: 🎵 Is it Mum and Dad? Is it a cockatoo? Is it standing by your mate? 🎵 🎵
- And Bingo's finally out!
Bandit: Hoo... BISCUITS!!!!!
- He yells in pain - loudly, to the point a group of birds fly away! Bingo flies out of Bandit's papoose:
Bingo: Born!
Bluey and Pat: Hooray!
Bandit: [drained] Hooray...
- Some time later, we're treated to a beautiful panning shot of the afternoon above. Bingo is on Bandit's arms.
Bingo: Meep, meep, meep.
Bluey: Now you have to give her a name!
Bandit: Oh, yeah! Let's get a look at you...
- Bingo is on Bandit's arms, cooing ever-so-cutely. Bandit smiles warmly at the young Red Heeler.
Bandit: I'm going to call you Chilli.
- Bluey is watching this with a smile on her face. Pat helps himself to some of the dim-sims.
Pat: Oh, you Heelers don't muck around!
Bandit: Well, if you're gonna do somethin'...
Bluey: ...do it properly.
Chilli: [off-screen] Well done, honey!
- Chilli is on the balcony.
Chilli: She's beautiful!
Bandit: Oh, it was a doddle! Don't know what all the fuss is about.
Bluey: My turn!
- She gets inside the pool!
Bandit: Eep.
- Cue end credits - Bluey dances to a piece of music shown earlier in the episode.
