0:00:55 > 0:00:59# Hey! What a wonderful kind of day! #

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hey, DW!

0:01:07 > 0:01:14This is DW's parakeet, Spanky. ..Shh! I don't want to wake him up.

0:01:14 > 0:01:19From the moment we met, we've never been best friends.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Ouch!- I want THAT one.

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Some days, I wish he'd go south for the winter.

0:01:31 > 0:01:37Other times, I feel sorry for him. Imagine being DW's pet!

0:01:41 > 0:01:45But I'm used to him. I sort of LIKE him...

0:01:45 > 0:01:48- CHIRPING - ..with his beak closed!

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Wait! Come back!

0:02:00 > 0:02:04- CALLS SADLY - Spanky! You sound sick.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07No school for you today.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10No fever. But you should stay warm.

0:02:10 > 0:02:16- How about some tea?- Chirp. - Wait here, and don't talk.

0:02:20 > 0:02:26This should do it! Mum made it with honey and I put in a cough drop.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33Dad! Dad! Why won't Spanky wake up?

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Oh. Uh...I think he's dead, honey.

0:02:37 > 0:02:43- When is he gonna stop being dead? - Is something dead?

0:02:43 > 0:02:49- Spanky won't wake up.- Oh. - Will he ever wake up, Dad?

0:02:49 > 0:02:53I'm afraid not, honey. Spanky's gone.

0:02:53 > 0:02:59- We could give him a nice funeral. - I don't want Spanky to be dead!

0:02:59 > 0:03:04I'll never forget the time you got loose in the kitchen.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08You didn't eat a single poppy seed.

0:03:08 > 0:03:13I'll always remember your beautiful song, Spanky.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17I'm sorry I told you to shut up.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21And when you poked holes in my colouring book,

0:03:21 > 0:03:24I wasn't REALLY angry.

0:03:24 > 0:03:32- And...- Ahem!- I guess what I mean is, I'm gonna miss you, Spanky.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36I'd like to be alone with Spanky for a moment.

0:03:46 > 0:03:52Get out, whoever you are! This is Spanky's can now!

0:03:53 > 0:03:59Yuk! ..Oh, Spanky, I'll never have another friend like you!

0:03:59 > 0:04:05You were the sweetest... ..Get out, you ugly toad!

0:04:05 > 0:04:12Don't be sad. There'll be other fish in the sea...or birds in the air.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26- This one...? - It looks just like Spanky!

0:04:26 > 0:04:31A parrot! It wouldn't remind you of Spanky.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Squawk! Spanky! Spanky!

0:04:34 > 0:04:36No.

0:04:40 > 0:04:47- A hamster. Cool!- Does it sing? - No. That's what's cool about it.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50What's going on?

0:04:50 > 0:04:56They're feeding the boa constrictor. It eats bird eggs whole!

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Don't even THINK of asking me!

0:04:59 > 0:05:05Spanky, you'll be happy to hear that I didn't get another pet.

0:05:05 > 0:05:13Some of them were cute, but none of them were as cute as you.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15SCRAMBLING

0:05:15 > 0:05:20I told you to stay out of that can, toady-wartface!

0:05:20 > 0:05:27There are plenty of cans out there - go find another one.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Hey, this is Spanky's can. Understand?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34SPANKY'S can, NOT toad's!

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Go find a new home.

0:05:54 > 0:05:59- Oh, hi, Billy and Bobby. - W-w-w-w-w-waaaaaaah!

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Thank you for sharing that with us.

0:06:03 > 0:06:11- Does anyone have anything else for show and tell?- I do!- Splendid!

0:06:11 > 0:06:19In this box are Spanky's things. He died, but he left this stuff behind.

0:06:19 > 0:06:23He wouldn't mind if I showed you.

0:06:26 > 0:06:31Get your disgusting hands off of that umbrella!

0:06:33 > 0:06:38Try to remain calm! ...Aaaaaaaggggghhhhhhh!

0:06:40 > 0:06:44How do you get him to stay on your shoulder?

0:06:44 > 0:06:49Easy. I tell him to get lost. Any more questions?

0:06:49 > 0:06:55Billy gave me a bite of his avocado sandwich. He's a vegetable-tarian.

0:06:55 > 0:07:00- VEGETARIAN. - It tasted like broccoli pudding.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Then Amanda showed me her bottle cap collection.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13DW KEEPS ON TALKING...

0:07:18 > 0:07:21..AND TALKING!

0:07:22 > 0:07:24You!

0:07:24 > 0:07:27How did you get my purse?

0:07:27 > 0:07:32If you don't watch it, I'll call the cops!

0:07:34 > 0:07:37Can they dry-clean plastic?

0:07:42 > 0:07:48If I pick up my socks and eat all my salad and brush my teeth,

0:07:48 > 0:07:51will Spanky come back?

0:07:51 > 0:08:01No, honey. But all the fun times you had with Spanky are in your head.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06- When you miss him, think of one of those times.- OK.

0:08:12 > 0:08:19Remember the time I found that tiny top hat that fitted you just right?

0:08:19 > 0:08:23Oh, it's just not the same. ..Uh...?!

0:08:23 > 0:08:28Spanky, it's you! I knew you'd come back!

0:08:30 > 0:08:33Stealing a purse is one thing,

0:08:33 > 0:08:38but trespassing on Spanky's property...that's BAD!!

0:08:44 > 0:08:49- If I catch you in here again... - ALARM RINGS

0:09:00 > 0:09:04Now I've got you!

0:09:05 > 0:09:09I give up. Well, you've won for now, toady.

0:09:09 > 0:09:16But I'll be ready in the morning. Then there's gonna be trouble!

0:09:16 > 0:09:19- SHE YAWNS - BIG trouble.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31I expected something more sneaky!

0:09:34 > 0:09:38- Oh,- I- know!

0:09:41 > 0:09:44Hiyyy-yaaah! ..Toady?

0:09:44 > 0:09:48Toad, you'd better not be in that can!

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Come on. I know you're in there!

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Come out, come out, wherever you...!

0:09:56 > 0:09:59I hope I didn't hurt him!

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Toady! Yoo-hoo!

0:10:03 > 0:10:06TOAD-EEEEE!

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Watch it!

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Here, Toady! Here, boy! - SHE WHISTLES

0:10:18 > 0:10:20MUM!

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Have you seen a small toad anywhere?

0:10:24 > 0:10:27He bounces about this high...

0:10:27 > 0:10:33- Why would there be a toad here? - He was following me.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36And last night I chased him into...

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Oh, no! You're washing my clothes!

0:10:40 > 0:10:45- Yes! They were thrown all over the room!- I'm sorry!

0:10:45 > 0:10:49I didn't mean to be so mean to you!

0:10:49 > 0:10:52First Spanky and now you!

0:10:52 > 0:10:56I'm a pet killer! I should be thrown in jail!

0:10:56 > 0:11:00What on earth?! Don't cry, DW.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Toady!

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Come back!

0:11:17 > 0:11:21Did you...? ..Thanks, Dad!

0:11:21 > 0:11:24Ah-ha-ha! Evil Lord Konak!

0:11:24 > 0:11:29You'll never catch us now. We're safe...

0:11:32 > 0:11:36Unless a giant toad destroys it(!) ..HEY!!

0:11:40 > 0:11:44Come back, Toady! I'll be nice. I promise!

0:11:47 > 0:11:51Stop! You're going to mow my toad!

0:11:51 > 0:11:58- What? Your toe?- MY PET! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL MY PET!

0:12:03 > 0:12:09Toady, you're safe. Don't ever scare me like that again.

0:12:11 > 0:12:19- Can I keep him?- Well, we must find out how to take care of him.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21YUK!!

0:12:21 > 0:12:28Maybe you don't sing, but you're pretty cute for a toady-wartface.

0:12:31 > 0:12:37Everything in this room has a meaning, like this red softball.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40It's not just ANY old softball.

0:12:42 > 0:12:47It's from when Buster and I got chased by a painter.

0:12:50 > 0:12:57And Buster and I got this poster signed by Bionic Bunny himself!

0:13:01 > 0:13:04- Cool!- Wow!

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Gee, thanks, Bionic Bunny!

0:13:08 > 0:13:12BURP! Don't mention it!

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Bye!

0:13:15 > 0:13:19Take this magnet. An ordinary magnet, right?

0:13:19 > 0:13:27Wrong! This is from the time Buster and I almost stopped being friends.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32HE ROARS LIKE A LION

0:13:37 > 0:13:44'Next, action-packed thrills with that superhero, Bionic Bunny!'

0:13:44 > 0:13:52- What's that?- A magnet. Buster's coming over to watch Bionic Bunny.

0:13:52 > 0:13:59- Then we're doing a science project. - But Bionic Bunny is starting now.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03Buster always make it in time.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10Must stop it!

0:14:10 > 0:14:17- Maybe Buster doesn't like Bionic Bunny any more.- He'll be here!

0:14:17 > 0:14:22Thanks for saving the world. Who are you really?

0:14:22 > 0:14:25Just a citizen doing his duty!

0:14:31 > 0:14:37- Buster missed a whole episode. - Something's wrong!

0:14:41 > 0:14:45May I speak to Mrs Baxter, please?

0:14:45 > 0:14:53Missing? But I just spoke with him! He's out with his new friend Mike!

0:14:53 > 0:14:57Is that all? ..Arthur, don't scare me like that.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02His new friend Mike? Who's Mike?

0:15:05 > 0:15:11Where were you? I missed you. I mean, you missed Bionic Bunny.

0:15:11 > 0:15:18I went mini-golfing with my new friend Mike. It was great!

0:15:18 > 0:15:26- Yeah? Who's Mike?- Mike's great. He's the best mini-golfer I've seen!

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Everyone thinks he's really cool!

0:15:50 > 0:15:53Maybe the three of us could go out.

0:15:53 > 0:15:58Mike could help us out with our science project.

0:15:58 > 0:16:04- OK. Bring him over to my house after school.- Great.

0:16:04 > 0:16:10- I brought up a snack for you and your friends.- Thanks.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Have a good time!

0:16:15 > 0:16:22- So, if the magnetic field goes out sideways from...- Arthur?

0:16:22 > 0:16:28- What happened to Buster and Mike? - They must have forgotten.- Oh, dear!

0:16:28 > 0:16:32- It's almost time for dinner.- OK.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Yeah, I bet they forgot(!)

0:16:35 > 0:16:41Repeat after me - I will not go over to Arthur's house.

0:16:41 > 0:16:45I will not go over to Arthur's house.

0:16:45 > 0:16:49I will never visit Arthur again!

0:16:49 > 0:16:53I will never visit Arthur again!

0:16:53 > 0:16:57Arthur! Arthur! Anybody home?

0:16:57 > 0:17:02Sorry. I was just wondering where Buster is. He's never around.

0:17:02 > 0:17:08Tell me about it! He was supposed to be our catcher.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11But he never showed up.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15- I'm not getting it. YOU get it. - Forget it!

0:17:15 > 0:17:22When I asked him why he didn't show, he said he was with his friend Mike.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26You know how Buster's an expert on bikes?

0:17:26 > 0:17:33Well, he was supposed to help me pick a bike. But he never showed up.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36What a drip!

0:17:36 > 0:17:43I had arranged to play Spacefighter 9 with Buster over the internet.

0:17:43 > 0:17:49He was to dial into my computer at 5 o'clock. But he never did.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53So what? It's much less fun on your own!

0:17:54 > 0:17:58The point is, what are we gonna do about it?

0:17:58 > 0:18:04- We can't let him keep ignoring us. - Give him the silent treatment!

0:18:04 > 0:18:08That's pretty harsh. Arthur?

0:18:08 > 0:18:14- Buster needs to learn how it feels to be ignored. Let's try it.- Guys!

0:18:14 > 0:18:18That food line sure is long. I'm starved.

0:18:18 > 0:18:26I barely had dinner last night. Mike and I went bowling.

0:18:26 > 0:18:32Did you know if you spin the ball sideways, it gives it more force?

0:18:32 > 0:18:38Of course, you have to be strong like Mike to bowl that way.

0:18:38 > 0:18:44Tonight we're going to this great movie Mike told me about.

0:18:44 > 0:18:49I'm gonna get more food. See you later!

0:18:49 > 0:18:52We sure taught him a lesson(!)

0:18:52 > 0:18:57I think we need to take drastic action.

0:19:00 > 0:19:05We have to give a progress report on the science project.

0:19:05 > 0:19:11Magnets are such a great thing to do a project on!

0:19:11 > 0:19:16Every magnet has a north and south pole.

0:19:16 > 0:19:21North poles attract south poles and vice versa.

0:19:27 > 0:19:32But what if I have a more powerful magnet? >

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Mike?

0:19:36 > 0:19:41And, what's more, the magnets repel each other.

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Correct.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53We haven't done much work on our project.

0:19:53 > 0:20:01- I've done plenty of work while you were bowling with Mike!- You have?

0:20:01 > 0:20:09- I don't wanna work with you! I'll finish the project myself!- Arthur!

0:20:09 > 0:20:12We have to give a progress report.

0:20:12 > 0:20:21Today I'll be asking you to describe your project and what you've done.

0:20:21 > 0:20:27- Buster? - Well, I was gonna be...uhm...

0:20:27 > 0:20:30I don't really know what I'm doing.

0:20:30 > 0:20:34EVERYONE LAUGHS

0:20:34 > 0:20:38We'll have a talk after class!

0:20:45 > 0:20:54- What are you doing?- Throwing out anything to do with Buster!

0:20:54 > 0:20:58Are you gonna throw out the radio he gave you?

0:20:58 > 0:21:01How about his CDs?

0:21:01 > 0:21:04DW, will you leave me alone, please?

0:21:12 > 0:21:18You can't throw those things out. They're Buster's!

0:21:18 > 0:21:26- OK. You can do it. Just 12 more blocks to Buster's.- Hey, Arthur.

0:21:26 > 0:21:33- I'm sorry about the science project. I didn't mean to let you down.- OK!

0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Huh?- IT'S OK!

0:21:37 > 0:21:41Let me give you a hand with this stuff.

0:21:41 > 0:21:49I haven't seen you much since I started hanging out with Mike.

0:21:49 > 0:21:57But you're my best buddy. Mike's my buddy too. Mike would like you.

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Hmmm(!)

0:21:59 > 0:22:05..So whatever metal the magnet is touching turns into a magnet too!

0:22:05 > 0:22:14So THAT'S how it works! Can I work with you again? I'll work hard!

0:22:14 > 0:22:19- Yeah. OK. Bionic Handshake? - All right!

0:22:19 > 0:22:23- WATCH BLEEPS - Four-thirty!

0:22:23 > 0:22:26BOTH: Bionic Bunny!

0:22:28 > 0:22:34Thank you, Bionic Bunny. But who are you really?

0:22:34 > 0:22:38Just someone who's trying to do the right thing!

0:22:40 > 0:22:45He's SO cute! SHE SIGHS

0:22:48 > 0:22:52Excellent! ..Hey, what's in that box anyway?

0:22:52 > 0:22:57Oh...stuff. Will you help me get it back to my house?

0:22:57 > 0:23:01Sure. Hey, we can take it in Mike's car.

0:23:01 > 0:23:09Buster! I can believe this Mike kid is a great mini-golfer and bowler!

0:23:09 > 0:23:15But now you expect me to believe he has a car?!

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Kids can't drive cars! - CAR HORN

0:23:18 > 0:23:20Mike!

0:23:22 > 0:23:28- Hey, Buster!- Mike, this is my best buddy, Arthur.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31- This is my big brother, Mike. - Hello!

0:23:31 > 0:23:34You're Buster's big brother?

0:23:34 > 0:23:41- It's part of the Big Brother Program at the community centre.- Mum took me.

0:23:41 > 0:23:48- She says I need older male influences.- Mike?- Yeah, Arthur?

0:23:48 > 0:23:51What do you know about magnets?
