0:00:53 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #
0:00:59 > 0:01:01(Hey, DW!)
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Hey!- Wargh!
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Um... Ahem!
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- You might wanna think about... - I'm gonna do it myself!
0:01:18 > 0:01:19OK, OK.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23I don't think DW always appreciates how easy her life is because of me.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27I mean, she can always come to me for great advice.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Do not fear mosquitoes. If you blow gently on them, they will go away.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- OW!- More gently, next time.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Now I shall tell you how to tie your shoes with your mind...
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I constantly encourage her.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45..Trust me, DW. You can do this.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- That's it, you're doing it, you're roller skating!- O-O-Oh!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- CRASH! - Um...that was great.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Now we'll work on STOPPING.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56..And when she gets to kindergarten,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00everyone will respect her because she's Arthur Reid's sister.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Hey, isn't that...ARTHUR'S sister?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07ALL: Welcome, Arthur's sister!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10..Best of all, I teach her things. Like checkers.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13King me!
0:02:27 > 0:02:29# Ta-da! #
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Thank you, Thank you!
0:02:31 > 0:02:35The Great Francine will now accept your applause.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Ah, yes, the first morning of circus camp, I remember it well.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Just wait till you're on the trapeze 15 feet off the ground.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46It's a lot harder than flipping cereal!
0:02:46 > 0:02:50You may have been good at circus camp, Catherine, but I'm gonna rule!
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- We'll just see about that. - Yes, we will.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Hey, Laverne, I think we may have TWO circus stars in this family.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Gotta run!- Good luck, squirt! Say hi to Boris for me.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Wow, this sure beats band camp!
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Greetings, young apprentices! I am Boris -
0:03:13 > 0:03:17tumbler, trapeze artist, ringleader and, more importantly,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20your camp counsellor.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Arthur Reid...?- Here.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Binky Barnes?- That's me.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31And Francine... Are you related to Catherine Frensky?
0:03:31 > 0:03:36- She's my sister.- This is an honour. Catherine was one of my best pupils,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38a real natural!
0:03:38 > 0:03:43OK, let's join the rest of the kids on our first stop, tumbling.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Follow the feet!
0:03:45 > 0:03:50..Let's begin with what you already know. How about a basic cartwheel?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Frensky, show them how it's done.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57Ow!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I-I think my hand slipped.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04It happens to all of us. OK, everyone, on the mat.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Whoo-hoo! Hey, I've never even done one of those before!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Oof!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Er, just gotta get the right momentum.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30If Arthur can do it...
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Now, I know back-flips look scary, but you'll be in this harness.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44and I'll be spotting you. Let's have a volunteer. Frensky, how about you?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Um...OK.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Now, just reach back and bring your legs over.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Ow!- Sorry!
0:04:56 > 0:05:00That's OK. Just keep your legs together next time.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05We'll take a five-minute break while your counsellor gets an ice pack.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Hey, squirt! I found some circus stuff for you.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15These gloves were great for the trapeze.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19And remember this adorable top from my tightrope routine?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERS
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Did you see that?! She's amazing!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30LOUD WHISTLE
0:05:30 > 0:05:35No, thanks! I don't want your sweaty old clothes!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I just thought you could use something to bring you luck.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I don't need luck. I'm great at circus camp.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Just cos you're best at horse-riding doesn't mean you'll win this too.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50You can't "win" at circus, Francine. It's not a competition.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Whatever(!)
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Need a hand? - SHE GROANS
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Thanks. I was practising for hours last night. My arms feel like jelly.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11But I think I've nailed tumbling.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15OK, kids, who's ready to perform on the flying trapeze?
0:06:15 > 0:06:17ALL: Me!
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Trapeze? What happened to somersaults a-and cartwheels?
0:06:21 > 0:06:25You'll love trapeze, Francine. It was your sister's best routine.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Why's everyone expect me to be like Catherine? I don't LOOK like her.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Sure you do. What? I do not!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39You're right, you're shorter. But other than that...
0:06:39 > 0:06:43At least I don't SOUND like her.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Do I?- Maybe just a little. But in a GOOD way...
0:06:56 > 0:07:01Just hold onto the bar and swing across. Natasha will catch you.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04O-O-O-O-Oh!
0:07:04 > 0:07:06WARRHGH!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Nice try, Francine!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- ..Hey, Frankie, how was camp? - Terrific(!)
0:07:13 > 0:07:18I can't wait to see you performing. We got the invitation today.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22A-Actually, Dad, the performance won't be such a big thing this year.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- You guys don't have to come. - Of course we're coming!
0:07:26 > 0:07:30We wouldn't miss it for the world! So what do you think you'll do?
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- The tightrope, like Catherine? - No, I will NOT do the tightrope -
0:07:35 > 0:07:39or the trapeze or back-flips or anything else that Catherine did.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41DOOR THUDS
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Catherine, Catherine, Catherine(!)
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Huh!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Might as well just call myself Catherine II
0:07:52 > 0:07:54that's what everyone wants...
0:07:54 > 0:07:58You LOVED Catherine,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00the greatest action hero ever known!
0:08:00 > 0:08:04JAMES BOND THEME MUSIC
0:08:04 > 0:08:09..And now, from the producers of Catherine...
0:08:09 > 0:08:12it's Catherine II...Francine!
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Yes, it's Catherine II. She's kind of back
0:08:15 > 0:08:18and she's almost as great as the first one...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Almost. Sort of.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28If you loved Catherine, you'll... probably at least LIKE Catherine II.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35I liked the first one, but this just didn't work for me.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Yeah, sequels are never as good.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Just a sequel, huh? We'll see about that!
0:08:45 > 0:08:50FRENCH ACCENT: 'Allo, Bink-ee, Art-oor!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Francine? What are you wearing?
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I am just trying a little something new.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Something, how you say...unique.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Now I am not so much like ze Catherine, n'est ce blah?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06(Maybe, but she's nothing like Francine either!)
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Hello, everyone. I'm Fishface, your clowning instructor.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15"Clowning is a delightful and entertaining circus art.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21"But make no mistake, it's also very serious business. So pay attention."
0:09:21 > 0:09:25OK, we'll start with the unicycle.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30- You with the beret, what's your name?- Um...
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- Yksnerf.- Yksnerf? There's no Yksnerf on the attendance sheet.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37There's a Frensky...
0:09:37 > 0:09:39That's Yksnerf spelled backwards.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Euh, eet must be...how you say... ze typo?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Sounds reasonable. How about trying the unicycle?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Great(!) Another thing for me to stink at.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56OK, it's all a matter of balance. Try pedalling a little.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58That's it! Good, you're doing it!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Whoa-a-a-a!
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Help!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Stop!- I can't!
0:10:04 > 0:10:06O-O-O-O-Oh!
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Oof!
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Sorry! Are you OK?- Everything hurts!
0:10:14 > 0:10:17But that's normal.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'm getting pretty good at this.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Ow!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Poor Francine.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34Only two days until the performance and she still can't do a somersault.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I really hope she doesn't embarrass herself.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls!
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It has been an amazing, exciting few weeks,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48and now it is time.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I give you...
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- The Elwood City Kids' Circus! - CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Where is Francine? I haven't seen her at all.- I don't know.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19The show's almost over.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22< SQUEAK-TOOT! SQUEAK-TOOT!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- WAAAAH!- Warrrgh!
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Oh, no, she's gonna try juggling. I can't watch!
0:11:42 > 0:11:44LOUD LAUGHTER
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Francine, it was the funniest thing ever! You were the hit of the show!
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- Thanks, guys, but I owe it all to this guy.- No, no, you're a natural!
0:11:58 > 0:12:03When Francine told me she was ready to take clowning seriously, well...
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- HE SNIFFS - ..I-it just got to me.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07SQUEAK!
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- There's my girl! - I'm so proud of you!
0:12:10 > 0:12:14I, er, was never very good at clowning, myself.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18You know, I think I WILL take those circus clothes you gave me.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22That frilly pink shirt can be funny for a clown. It's already ridiculous.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26It is not! That shirt is haute couture!
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Is that French for dorky?- Forget it!
