0:01:11 > 0:01:13Come and see Big Bob's Big Top!

0:01:13 > 0:01:18Beyond this curtain lies a treasure trove that's ginormous, gigantic

0:01:18 > 0:01:21and super-sized! Peek at the Poughkeepsie Pumpkin -

0:01:21 > 0:01:25- positively perplexing in proportion. ALL:- Oooh!

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Pound upon pound and grown from the ground.

0:01:29 > 0:01:34- ALL:- Aah!- Marvel at the mystifying Minnewesauke Meteorite.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38More massive than a mobile home and did I mention, it's magnetic?

0:01:40 > 0:01:42- ALL:- Ooh!

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Lastly, look upon the Leaden Lump of Elwood City.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47- ALL:- Oooh!

0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Hey!- Oops.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58For the last time, there's no such thing as a...

0:01:58 > 0:02:01A g-g-g...ghost.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Aaah!

0:02:03 > 0:02:05You don't sound very scared to me.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09DW, I think I need to practise my lines by myself.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13But this is the school play. Your big chance.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18When you see the ghost, you should be really scared, like this...

0:02:18 > 0:02:21G-G-G-Gho-o-o-st!

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Ahh-aaaaah-aaaaaaaah-aaaah!

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Aaaah!

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Like that.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Is that your costume? - What's wrong with it?

0:02:35 > 0:02:36Aah!

0:02:40 > 0:02:44They fitted at Aunt Lucy's wedding. You've had a growth spurt.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47A g-g-g-g-g-ghost!

0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Aaah!- OK, DW.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Why don't you wear your regular pants?

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Mr Ratburn says it has to be a suit.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58I play the owner of a big mansion. I'm supposed to be really rich.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02- It's essential to my part. - We'll go shopping tomorrow.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Well, how's it going?

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Mom, no! You can't come in.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12May I be of assistance?

0:03:12 > 0:03:16- We can't seem to find anything that fits.- No problem.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18ASSISTANT MUMBLES TO HIMSELF

0:03:18 > 0:03:2125...19.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Come with me, young man.

0:03:24 > 0:03:29I think it looks great. You'll really stand out on stage.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32I tell you, there's something fishy

0:03:32 > 0:03:35about this whole operation, Inspector Carruthers.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37You can say that again, Jimmy.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41Arthur, it's your line.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- HE PANTS - Arthur?

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Phew!

0:03:46 > 0:03:50- Arthur, are you OK?- I can't talk and run at the same time.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Oh. Well, let's just sit over here.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57Do I look...husky to you guys?

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Husky? Husky? You husky?

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Nah, you don't look husky.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04(What's husky?)

0:04:04 > 0:04:06It means, I'm fat.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09I had to get new pants yesterday - husky pants.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Oh!

0:04:11 > 0:04:13You don't seem surprised.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17Well, you're definitely not fat. But you are out of breath.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20This is horrible! What am I going to do?

0:04:20 > 0:04:22I've got it. This is easy.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24You just need to go on a diet.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27Oh! A diet?!

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Don't worry. I know just what to do. I'm an expert on diets.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33My mum's been on hundreds of them.

0:04:34 > 0:04:39Now, on the Barley Corn Diet, you can eat bacon, eggs, cheese,

0:04:39 > 0:04:42and hamburgers, but no bread.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46But if you go on the Bushman's Diet, you only eat seeds, berries,

0:04:46 > 0:04:49anything you can pick from a bush or hunt.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Or maybe you want the Jackpot Diet. You only eat boiled cabbage

0:04:53 > 0:04:59three times a day. Except Sunday, when you can eat anything you want.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03- How do you know which to pick?- It doesn't matter. None of them work.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07Mom says no matter how much weight she loses on a diet,

0:05:07 > 0:05:09she always gains it back.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12That's your after-school snack?

0:05:12 > 0:05:15No wonder you need husky pants!

0:05:16 > 0:05:19According to this book, diets aren't for kids.

0:05:19 > 0:05:24- Unless prescribed by a doctor.- So what am I supposed to do? Stay fat?

0:05:24 > 0:05:29- You're not fat.- Instead of dieting, you should eat a variety of foods.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32In other words, make better choices.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of candy.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37And stay away from sugary drinks.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Drink more water.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Don't worry, Arthur, I'll help you.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44I'll start by getting rid of these.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Oops!

0:05:48 > 0:05:49DOG BARKS

0:05:52 > 0:05:53Huh?

0:06:12 > 0:06:13CRUNCHING

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Drop the chips!

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Place the chips on the counter

0:06:17 > 0:06:20and step back with your hands in the air.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27ARTHUR GROANS

0:06:27 > 0:06:31I did just what you said - no cookies, no candy -

0:06:31 > 0:06:32and look, no change!

0:06:32 > 0:06:37Well, it's only been three hours. Give it a week or two at least.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40I'm supposed to show Mr Ratburn my costume tomorrow.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43And I'm NOT going to wear that husky suit.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48Well, these costumes all look great.

0:06:48 > 0:06:49Except Arthur's.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51He's not wearing one.

0:06:51 > 0:06:56He has one. He just can't fit into it...yet.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Yes. Well, that's fine. See you all tomorrow.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Oh, Arthur.- Yes.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Could I have a word with you?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08But I still can't fit into my pants.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11You know, this may come as a surprise,

0:07:11 > 0:07:15but there was a time when I was a real...fatty rat.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19- Really?!- I tried every diet known.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22But one day, I discovered I had a hidden talent...

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Hey, you found it. Wanna play a game?

0:07:28 > 0:07:31I'm playing by myself, but I keep losing the ball.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39'That's when I discovered I was good at ping-pong.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43'I played constantly and gradually, without even noticing it

0:07:43 > 0:07:47'I became the fit specimen you see before you today.'

0:07:47 > 0:07:49APPLAUSE

0:07:50 > 0:07:52But I don't know how to play ping-pong.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55The type of exercise doesn't matter.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58The important thing is that you get enough of it.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01- How do I know what's enough?- Hmm.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05It's called a pedometer.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08Simply attach it to your waist and it will record

0:08:08 > 0:08:12- the number of steps you take. - Is this for a grade?- No.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Do they come in better colours?- No. - Why are we doing this?

0:08:16 > 0:08:19It shows you how much exercise you're getting.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Tomorrow we'll all compare scores. - I bet I get 200 easy.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26I bet I get 500!

0:08:29 > 0:08:32800 steps!?

0:08:32 > 0:08:35I don't think I've taken 800 steps in my entire life.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38And Arthur did it in one day.

0:08:38 > 0:08:39800!?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Is that more than 20?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Yep. I was pretty busy.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Wait till everybody else hears.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49I can't wait to see the looks on their faces.

0:08:50 > 0:08:537,025!?

0:08:53 > 0:08:54I would've taken more,

0:08:54 > 0:08:58but I only had one dance class after school. Some days I have two.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00What did you get?

0:09:00 > 0:09:0313,000. But I had soccer practice.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Most days, I'm sure it's much, much lower.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10I got 6,575 and I don't remember doing anything

0:09:10 > 0:09:13except following my mum around on her errands.

0:09:13 > 0:09:14But I did everything.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17I was busy. I went swimming,

0:09:17 > 0:09:20I played catch with Pal...

0:09:20 > 0:09:23I even did some floor exercises.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29When I think about it, I didn't do as much as I thought I did.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33You should aim for 10,000 steps a day.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37But don't feel bad if your score was low, just keep trying.

0:09:37 > 0:09:42Use your pedometer for a few weeks and work your way up.

0:09:42 > 0:09:43SCHOOL BELL RINGS

0:09:43 > 0:09:45I know I can do better.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47And I'm gonna start right now.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49'Just look at that guy go.'

0:09:49 > 0:09:52He's three blocks ahead of Bionic Bunny. But wait...

0:09:52 > 0:09:56- He's slowing down. - Maybe I should start walking now.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Nah. Wait. You'll miss the best bit.- Arthur?

0:10:00 > 0:10:02If you do your line right in the play,

0:10:02 > 0:10:05you might get a part on Bionic Bunny.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- You think Arthur could play Bionic Bunny?- No.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11That guy there.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14That's it!

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Don't be nervous. You'll be great.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55Oh, I'm so scared. What if you forget your lines?

0:10:55 > 0:10:58I won't forget. We've had three weeks to rehearse.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02And besides, everybody else will be on stage with me.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Well, here goes.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08- They fit!- Wow!

0:11:10 > 0:11:13For the last time, there's no such thing as a...

0:11:13 > 0:11:16Oooooh! Oooooh!

0:11:16 > 0:11:17G-G-G-G-G-G-Ghost!

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Aaaaaaah!

0:11:25 > 0:11:27That was my idea.
