0:00:02 > 0:00:06# Every day you walk down the street Everybody that you meet
0:00:06 > 0:00:11# Has an original point of view
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- # And I say, hey!- Hey!
0:00:13 > 0:00:18# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play
0:00:18 > 0:00:21# And get along with each other
0:00:21 > 0:00:26# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat
0:00:26 > 0:00:28# Listen to the rhythm of the street
0:00:28 > 0:00:33# Get together and make things better By working together
0:00:33 > 0:00:37# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:00:37 > 0:00:43# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start
0:00:43 > 0:00:48- # And I say, hey!- Hey! - What a wonderful kind of day
0:00:48 > 0:00:53# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other
0:00:53 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day - hey! What a wonderful kind of day - HEY! #
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Hey, DW!- Hey...
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Oh...!
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Door! > - DW, sit.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Nadine's hungry too.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Here, Nadine.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Trays?- Closet.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Smoke?- Rolls!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Here, Nadine, have some cauliflower.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31- Mom, Nadine wants her bisgetti cut up too.- Coming through.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Dad! You're on her tail!- Wooaah!
0:01:42 > 0:01:47If you don't have a little sister, you probably think it's really cool,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49but DW is a different story.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54It's bad enough when she gives her friends tours of my room.
0:01:54 > 0:02:00Here's Stanley. He doesn't want you to know he still sleeps with him!
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Now for the really good stuff.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Up here's the secrets box he thinks nobody knows about.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16But now that she has a friend no-one can see, it's even worse!
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Oh, Nadine! Look what you did to Arthur.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Wait! Come back!
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Nadine says she's sorry, Daddy.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37That's all right. Just finish your dinner and no more monkey business.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I can't come here any more, DW.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Your brother hates me. I know it.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49He does not, Nadine. Arthur really, really likes you.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- I gave him a picture of you to hang up.- Really?!
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- PHONE RINGS - I got it!
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- Hello!- ..Channel 4, quick!
0:03:07 > 0:03:12'Coming to Wonder World on Saturday. You'll twirl, whirl, and hurl!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16'The all-new Hurl-A-Whirl. Sick bags provided.'
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Barf bags!
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Can I go to the opening of the Hurl-A-Whirl on Saturday? Please!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Arthur, you have bisgetti on your ear.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30So, can I go? Can I, Dad?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34I'll think about it, Arthur, but right now... Aha!
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- But, Dad, barf bags are provided! - I want a barf bag!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I want a barf bag too! Let me go!
0:03:42 > 0:03:45OK, OK, sure.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- All right!- Nadine too?- Nadine too.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54BUSTER: 'Nadine?! She'll wreck everything!'
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Having DW hanging around is bad enough.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04- Say, do you want that cherry cobbler? I'll trade half my tuna sandwich.- OK.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Thanks!
0:04:06 > 0:04:12If her invisible friend's there, it's going to be a gazillion times worse.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Hmm!
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Arthur, Nadine's scared! Stop the ride!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Stop the ride!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Aggh!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Nadine, see what you did?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Who's she talking to?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Pretend friend. What babies!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Arthur's a baby!
0:04:48 > 0:04:52THEY CHANT Baby! Baby! Baby!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54We gotta stop her!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Prunella, you like reading, right?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Trade my library card for some cake.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Don't worry. I'll work something out.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Have some of my chocolate swirls.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Swirls?!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Wait a minute - that's it!
0:05:14 > 0:05:20DW, if you can't take this, you'll never take the Hurl-A-Whirl.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Do your worst!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- I think it's working!- Yeah!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34How many's that, Nadine?
0:05:34 > 0:05:3560.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Only 40 left.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I'll do some headfirst - it's harder.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Feeling any better now? - Yeah...I think.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54- How long's it been?- This is nothing. If you're feeling sick now...
0:05:54 > 0:06:00I'm not sick. It's getting late. You know how Buster's mother worries.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05Ooops! Oh, no! Gotta go. Call you tomorrow!
0:06:05 > 0:06:10It's good to test me. I may not have been ready for the Twirly-Whirl.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13It's the Hurl-A-Whirl, DW.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17How can you go on it if you can't say the name?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I AM going on the Hurly-Whirl!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I proved I'm brave enough, didn't I?
0:06:22 > 0:06:28- OK, OK.- Nadine will probably scream like crazy.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Might have to stop the ride for her.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Hope there's bisgetti tonight. Nadine's hungry.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Hey, who knows? Maybe she'll forget about it.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- It's not like she's camped out all morning, waiting for us.- Actually...
0:06:48 > 0:06:51If she left Nadine behind, it might not be so bad.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54'There's only one thing left.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- 'Pretend to be sick.'- Hey, that's it!
0:06:57 > 0:07:03- Everybody will think you're just scared of the Hurl-A-Whirl.- Not me!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Can I stop spinning now, DW?
0:07:08 > 0:07:14If you can't take this, you'll never be able to take the Hurly-Whirl.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Keep spinning.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21- Hey, DW!- Don't bother trying anything funny, Arthur.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- I'm coming and that's that. - I know, I know.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Say, does Nadine look funny to you?
0:07:29 > 0:07:34- That's a chair. Nadine's over there, spinning.- Oh, sure.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38I meant, did you notice those spots on her face?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Spots?! What spots?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Didn't the Tibble twins have chicken pox?
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- Maybe you brought the germs home from preschool?- Chicken pox?!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Oh, no, poor Nadine!
0:07:52 > 0:07:56You'll have to stay home. I'll go get the thermometer.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I'll understand if you want to stay.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Nice try!
0:08:07 > 0:08:09It's just for a few hours.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Nadine will be fine. - We have to go and get her.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- She's lonely.- We can't go back now.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21We're already here. Everyone's here. Anyway, Nadine's just pretend!
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- How come you said you could see her?- I lied!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Then she's not sick. Let's get her.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Only babies have invisible friends. - Hear that?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Everyone's waiting for me. She wants to ruin everything.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Wait a minute. Do you hear something?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- It's coming from in here.- What is it?
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It's Nadine!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49You came, Nadine! You came!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Oh, aren't we lucky(?)
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Tickets, everybody.- Can I go in?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00Remember - you only have a few orange tickets. Use them carefully.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Are you ready?- Let's go!
0:09:10 > 0:09:15Two orange tickets, please. Hands and arms inside all the time. And here.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- What are these?- Sickness bags.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Barf bags!
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Oh, we're gonna die. - Let's pick our speed.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Whirl, twirl, blend, whip, liquify!
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Liquify!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38THEY SCREAM
0:09:57 > 0:10:02Oh, I wish I could keep this thing, but I think my mom would freak.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- What's next?- I know!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I could ride that thing forever.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19There you are! Wanna go on the Hurl-A-Whirl?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22We used our last tickets. I only have green left.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25They're just for the merry-go-round.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- Arthur! Arthur! - Well, see you around, Arthur.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36We were looking everywhere for you. Nadine has something to show you.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Let's go on the merry-go-round. - Who's Nadine?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Race you. ..See you later. - But I don't want to!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Arthur, wait, it's important.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- Francine and I are busy. - What's the matter with you?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I... Oh, well, you'll see in a second.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Arthur, Nadine found these.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03They're tickets for the Hurly-Whirl.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07We found them. Nadine said, "Give them to Arthur."
0:11:07 > 0:11:10She wants to be your friend.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12She did? ..She does?
0:11:12 > 0:11:18- Well, what are you waiting for? Let's get in line.- See you later.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Just a sec. I'll be right back.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25There's an extra ticket, DW. Wanna ride with us?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28You know you're tough enough.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Oh, I know I'm tough enough, only...
0:11:30 > 0:11:34(Nadine thinks she might get scared.)
0:11:34 > 0:11:37We'll go when she's more grown up.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40It's good she has a friend like you.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45Plus, if we keep looking, we might find tickets for the merry-go-round,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48since you love it so much!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51< Arthur, hurry up!
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Coming! ..Here, take my green tickets.
0:11:54 > 0:12:00- When I get back, I'll go on any ride you and Nadine want.- Any ride?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Me and my big mouth!
0:12:06 > 0:12:11Arthur sure is lucky to have YOU for a little sister, DW.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14You're so right, Nadine.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Because you've been a good girl, I'll give you a tour of his room.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Hang on, Nadine.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Huh?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37The library's great.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41It's got all kinds of music to listen to...
0:12:43 > 0:12:45..story time for kids.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Aggh!
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Whoa! I'm not eating that. It's spoiled!
0:12:57 > 0:13:00And books for everybody.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Chalk is derived from fossilised seashells.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09I'm reading sports rules to see how much better I am than everybody else.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- Like to challenge me?- Sorry, Francine, Buster just called me.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17No, I didn't.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- What are you reading?- A joke book.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26What do you call two banana peels?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30I don't know.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32A pair of slippers!
0:13:35 > 0:13:40I love it here. Last week I never thought they'd let me in again.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42< Sshh!
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Chapter 1.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Arthur Goes To The Library.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I'll get this one and...
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Wow! I'll have to read that!
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- This too.- Why not just take one?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21One? I wanna read them all.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23And this one too.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- You're one under the limit. - I can take one more?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35The new Scare Your Pants Off is in.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39Wow! The Mysterious Hand.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49Brand new! No-one has ever opened it!
0:14:49 > 0:14:51You have enough books already.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54You can't read them all in two weeks.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Give it to me!
0:14:59 > 0:15:02I wanna read it first, then you can.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Don't be a pig! That's too many!
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- You have enough.- This isn't too many.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16You're mad cos you were too slow.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Oh, man!
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Chapter 2.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38One Week Later.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50- Arthur!- What? What, Mom? - I found this in the laundry.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- Be careful with library books. - I AM careful.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59- Aren't they due soon?- Next week. I still have a couple left to read.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04I'll give you two of these for one of those, and two more for that one.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Is that one of your library books?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Oh, yeah. How did it get out here?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Was The Mysterious Hand good?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Oh, wow! I forgot I had that one.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24No-one else did. There's a list to take it out after you return it.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26I'll start it tonight.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Hmm!
0:16:36 > 0:16:41- What are you hiding from?- I'm not. I'm looking for The Mysterious Hand.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- There it is.- ..Ow!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Where is it?- Over here!
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- DW!- Mom, Arthur's chasing me!
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Where did I put it?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I looked at those books when you came home.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- You didn't have that one.- I didn't?
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Someone could have taken it when I was leaving the library.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25This calls for detective work. I'll call Buster.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Wait! I can't call Buster. He's a suspect.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Everybody's a suspect.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37No, not everybody.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42There's one person who would never want to read that book, or any book.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49You want me to help you find out who took some dopey book?
0:17:49 > 0:17:54You're the only one who can help me. You don't even read comic strips.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57If they were good, they'd be on TV.
0:17:57 > 0:18:04- What do you want me to do?- We have to cleverly narrow down the suspects.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Do I get a badge?- No.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Chapter 3.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14The Investigation.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Aggh!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Hi, Brain.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39I've narrowed it down to three -
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Buster Baxter, Francine Franski and Sue Ellen Armstrong.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48- How did you do?- Everyone I talked to was afraid. Very suspicious.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Why don't I focus on my suspects and you focus on yours?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Right.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Do you like my drawing?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08This looks like The Mysterious Hand.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- I just read it. - I should've known it was you!
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Just give me the book back and I won't tell anyone.
0:19:17 > 0:19:22It's MY book. I had to buy it cos you had the library's only copy.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Hey!
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- Arthur, I didn't take that book. - What do you mean?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Muffy says you think I stole it. You lost it.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I told you you had too many books.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Where is it?- What?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Come on, hand it over.- Hey, Binky.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50You have to tell them WHAT you want.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55If they took it, they'll know. There's another suspect. ..Hey, you!
0:19:55 > 0:20:00- Arthur, Francine says you think - I- stole The Mysterious Hand.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- It's gone. You wanted it. - You probably lost it.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I've looked absolutely everywhere.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12- Maybe giant mutant mole people took it!- Oh, right(!)
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I don't have it. You got it? No.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26All I can say is, you'd better find it because we all wanna read it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Chapter 4.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It's Lost.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34OK? Face it. You lost it.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42ECHOEY VOICES
0:20:45 > 0:20:48'We know you're in there.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53'We know you're in there.'
0:20:57 > 0:21:02Throw out the book gently, son, and no-one will get hurt.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06You can't escape the long arm of the law.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09ARTHUR SCREAMS
0:21:15 > 0:21:22- Oh, no!- We have special rules for little boys who lose library books.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Huh?!
0:21:35 > 0:21:41- Arthur, what's this?- It's how I have to check out library books now.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45HE SCREAMS
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Next time, don't make me use the crank.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07You're not gonna find the book in your cereal.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09You'll have to pay for the book.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Fifteen dollars?! That's three action figures!
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Oh-h!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Did you enjoy all the books?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23All except the one I lost - The Mysterious Hand.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- I'll have to pay for it. - It's not lost.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29That boy just returned it.
0:22:31 > 0:22:32Huh?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Binky, you found it! You found it!
0:22:37 > 0:22:42- Who had it?- ..A boy from school. - Which boy?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Me.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Very funny! No, who really had it?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Me!
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I found it on the sidewalk.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I started reading it. It's really good.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06I never thought it was yours. You'd never throw a library book down.
0:23:06 > 0:23:12- As nobody had it, I figured it might be your one.- Why didn't you tell me?
0:23:12 > 0:23:18- I thought you'd laugh at me.- I wouldn't laugh at you.- You just did.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23- Oh, yeah. Sorry.- Don't blab it around that I'm reading books...
0:23:23 > 0:23:25or else!
0:23:25 > 0:23:31Since I didn't read that book, can I check it out again?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Sorry, you can't renew it. There's a waiting list.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Oh-h!
0:23:41 > 0:23:44The End!
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Scared you, didn't I?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Wooaah!
