0:01:27 > 0:01:28..Go!

0:01:43 > 0:01:44Whoo-hoo!

0:01:44 > 0:01:47tree house, here I come!

0:01:47 > 0:01:48Agh!

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Did I do it? Who won?

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Who cares? Look!

0:01:56 > 0:01:59Oh! Our tree house!

0:02:07 > 0:02:12..It was completely destroyed. Now it's just a big pile of wood.

0:02:12 > 0:02:17But that's impossible. That treehouse has been around for years!

0:02:17 > 0:02:19We've angered them.

0:02:19 > 0:02:23We're sorry, aliens. Here, take our pie as a peace offering.

0:02:23 > 0:02:27Aliens had nothing to do with it, Buster. It fell because of the snow.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Where are we supposed to hang out now?- My place!

0:02:31 > 0:02:35- It's very conveniently located. - Yeah, for you.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37We can't go to someone's house!

0:02:37 > 0:02:40The cool thing about the tree house was no-one owned it.

0:02:40 > 0:02:46- I have a 60" glass-screen TV with 300 channels.- I'm there.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Remember our first day in the tree house?

0:02:59 > 0:03:02CHEERING

0:03:04 > 0:03:09Sorry, Dora Winifred, this place is only for big kids.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12DORA WINIFRED CRIES

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Ah!

0:03:16 > 0:03:18That was a good day.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Yeah, I'm sure gonna miss that place.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25- So when are you gonna build a new one?- New one?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I couldn't help overhearing your conversation.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31It seems like you kids need another tree house.

0:03:31 > 0:03:36- You don't understand, Mr...- You can call me Frank. I'm an architect.

0:03:36 > 0:03:41I've been hired to design the new art gallery in Elwood City, see?

0:03:41 > 0:03:44That's going to be a building?!

0:03:44 > 0:03:48Well, it's just a preliminary sketch, but, sure, why not?

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Who says a building has to look like a box?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Our tree house was kind of boxy,

0:03:53 > 0:03:57but it was the best place to hang out in the world.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Who knows? If you put your heads together,

0:03:59 > 0:04:03you might be able to dream up something even better.

0:04:03 > 0:04:08Ask your parents to give me a call if you get any ideas. I could help you.

0:04:10 > 0:04:14OK, how about this? A castle tree house.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Castles have been done before.

0:04:20 > 0:04:24All right, how about a spaceship tree house?

0:04:26 > 0:04:30- They've got something like that at the Chicken Lickin'.- Fine,

0:04:30 > 0:04:34- let's hear YOUR ideas. - I don't have any yet.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38I just think it should be something different, something new, like...

0:04:39 > 0:04:43- ..like this! - A mouldy crust of bread?!

0:04:43 > 0:04:47No, Arthur, a mouldy pizza crust.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51- It's from the very first pizza my mom and I shared with Harry.- So?

0:04:51 > 0:04:55Don't you see? We could have a pizza tree house.

0:04:55 > 0:05:00Shaped like a pie, the windows could look like pepperonis and...

0:05:00 > 0:05:04'Wait, the windows could actually be pepperonis!

0:05:04 > 0:05:08'If it's not raining, you could tear the windows off and eat them.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13'And there'd be hot and cold running tomato sauce.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18'And big comfy mozzarella chairs!'

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Ah!

0:05:22 > 0:05:27- ARTHUR LAUGHS - That's the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard!

0:05:27 > 0:05:30OK, maybe it can't actually be made of pizza,

0:05:30 > 0:05:35- but it could be shaped like a pie. - No way! It'll look really weird.

0:05:35 > 0:05:39- I don't think so.- I'm not taking a pizza tree house design to Frank.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Then maybe we should work on this alone.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49It just doesn't make any sense. Who ever heard of a pie-shaped house?

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Hmm! Pie-shaped.

0:05:53 > 0:05:58- What are you writing?- I'm collecting ideas that'll satisfy everyone.

0:05:58 > 0:06:03So far, it's got to have an art gallery, an underground passage,

0:06:03 > 0:06:07- and a wrestling arena.- How will you fit an arena on top of a tree?

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Details, details!

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Hey, Brain, what would you like in the new tree house?

0:06:13 > 0:06:18Oh, you don't have to bother designing anything - I've done it.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- What?- Yes.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24I ran into that architect and I've come up with a plan

0:06:24 > 0:06:27- that will benefit the entire community.- What is it?

0:06:27 > 0:06:31Sorry, Arthur, I'm not at liberty to discuss the project.

0:06:31 > 0:06:34Come to the unveiling on Saturday at the Sugar Bowl.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36May I have some toothpicks, Mrs McGrady?

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Thank you.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40Huh?

0:06:40 > 0:06:44That know-it-all! We'll see who has the best design.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00I need the glue to dry faster!

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Atchoo!

0:07:09 > 0:07:11Agh-hhh!

0:07:15 > 0:07:20OK, we'll put Binky's arena here and Sue Ellen's pagoda there,

0:07:20 > 0:07:25and George's woodworking shelf over to the left next to the sauna.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Oh, yeah, and it all has to be pie-shaped.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Oh! I can't even see the tree any more.

0:07:36 > 0:07:41Oh! This is pointless! There are just too many things to include.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Oof!

0:07:49 > 0:07:50Huh?

0:07:50 > 0:07:53That just might work.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Can we eat yet?

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Just a minute, I want this drawing to really capture pizza.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05There! What do you think?

0:08:05 > 0:08:07It's very...

0:08:07 > 0:08:09pizza-ish.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Oh, it's too simple.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13We should've ordered more toppings.

0:08:13 > 0:08:18Arthur was right - a pizza tree house is a dumb idea.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Maybe I should work with calzones.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26Whatever you do, it'll have to wait till after dinner. I'm starving.

0:08:26 > 0:08:28Wait! Stop!

0:08:28 > 0:08:31That's it! That's it! Don't move, mom!

0:08:33 > 0:08:37I couldn't decide whether to do a spaceship or a castle,

0:08:37 > 0:08:40so I combined the two. It's a space-castle tree house.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43I bet that hasn't been done before.

0:08:43 > 0:08:47Actually, it reminds me of the work of Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50- It does?- It's a compliment, Arthur.

0:08:50 > 0:08:55Gaudi created some of the most amazing buildings of his generation.

0:08:55 > 0:09:00- Look at his church of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.- Awesome!

0:09:00 > 0:09:04- That's amazing. - What did you come up with, Buster?

0:09:04 > 0:09:06I know it sounds kind of silly,

0:09:06 > 0:09:10but, well, it's a pizza tree house.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13At first, I imagined it as pie-shaped,

0:09:13 > 0:09:16but then I thought, "Why not separate the slices,

0:09:16 > 0:09:21"and you could climb from slice to slice on ladders made of cheese?"

0:09:23 > 0:09:25BURP!

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Cheese is not the best building material, Buster.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32Oh! I guess the whole idea is pretty ridiculous.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33No, it isn't.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38I made a building once that looked like a pair of binoculars. See?

0:09:38 > 0:09:41A great building can be inspired by anything.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44The question is, can it be built?

0:09:44 > 0:09:48I don't think one tree could support all that.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51That's why I decided to use 10 trees.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55I couldn't fit everyone's wishes into one design, so I spread it out.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58That way, Binky can have his wrestling arena...

0:10:01 > 0:10:04..Sue Ellen can have her art studio,

0:10:04 > 0:10:06and so on and so on,

0:10:06 > 0:10:11and they'd be linked by bridges, so we could visit each other.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Hee-hee-hee!

0:10:14 > 0:10:17I like how you used the surrounding space,

0:10:17 > 0:10:20but there's no place for you all to hang out together.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Isn't that the main purpose of your tree house?

0:10:23 > 0:10:26There's room for the whole school in my design.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29HE COUGHS Presenting...

0:10:29 > 0:10:32the world's tallest tree house.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34< WHOA!

0:10:34 > 0:10:39Hey, wait! That's not a tree house - it's built on the ground.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42True, but it'll bring millions of tourists to Elwood City

0:10:42 > 0:10:45and revitalise our sluggish economy.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49It's a bold vision, Brain, but that would cost a fortune to build.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53I know. I spent three months of allowance on the toothpicks alone.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Atchoo!

0:10:55 > 0:10:58And I got a cold waiting for the glue to dry.

0:10:58 > 0:11:03Your ideas are great, but I don't think you have your tree house yet.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07That only leaves one option. We hang out at Muffy's.

0:11:07 > 0:11:12Or you could go back to the drawing board and try working together.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39Strong lines, a harmonious composition - I love it.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43I knew you could come up with something new that you'd all like.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Actually, it's pretty much what we had before.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49We just couldn't improve on the original design.

0:11:49 > 0:11:54Find a design that reflects your vision - that's what you did.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56And we built it ourselves.

0:11:56 > 0:12:01How can you beat that? Here, it's a poster of something I designed.

0:12:01 > 0:12:05If you're ever in Spain, you should check it out.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08"To my friends in Elwood City, Frank Gehry."

0:12:08 > 0:12:11That was Frank Gehry? I don't believe it!

0:12:11 > 0:12:15He's one of the greatest architects of our time.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18This is the museum he designed in Bilbao, Spain,

0:12:18 > 0:12:21which people from all over the world travel to see.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25Whoa! And you thought my pizza house was far out!
