0:01:15 > 0:01:17HE CHUCKLES

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hey! How's it going?

0:01:20 > 0:01:25Welcome to Buster's cabinet of culinary curiosities.

0:01:25 > 0:01:30- I'm Ray.- I'm Tapioca. But you can just call me Puddin'.

0:01:30 > 0:01:36Buster saved a pudding? Why did he do that? You're so bland!

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Er, I think he liked the way I wiggled.

0:01:39 > 0:01:44Boy! Seems like anybody can get into the collection nowadays.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Don't listen to her. She thinks she's so big

0:01:47 > 0:01:50cos she was from the buffet at La Bruncherie.

0:01:50 > 0:01:55- Now she's just bitter fruit.- It was Baxter Day when Buster picked me!

0:01:55 > 0:01:58You're just here cos you look like Argentina.

0:01:58 > 0:02:03I've had it wit' you, always going on about your potassium.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Put up your peels. - Erm, I hate to interrupt,

0:02:07 > 0:02:12- but does anyone know how long I'll be here?- Beats me.- I dunno.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15I've been on this shelf longer than Ray.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18But not as long as Duncan.

0:02:18 > 0:02:24- Achoo!- And no-one's been in the cabinet as long as...the colonel.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28HE SNORES

0:02:28 > 0:02:33One thing's for sure, you're safe from the garbage disposal here.

0:02:33 > 0:02:34Buster loves us.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Ah! But SHE doesn't!

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Ooh!

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Yuck!

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Hey!

0:02:52 > 0:02:56Do we have to throw it all away? Can't I keep my two-headed carrot?

0:02:56 > 0:03:00You know the rules. When I can smell it, it goes in the trash.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02This will be good for our compost bin though.

0:03:02 > 0:03:07Take this to the community garden and see if Mr Langley can use it.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08Mr Langley?

0:03:08 > 0:03:12That's the weird guy with the big hat who talks to himself, right?

0:03:12 > 0:03:13He's not weird!

0:03:13 > 0:03:16I've known Mr Langley since I was a kid.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21Besides, he's not the one with a case of rotting food in his room!

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Ooh! You think you're tougher than me, eh?

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Ooh!

0:03:28 > 0:03:32You put up a good fight, weed. I'll give you that.

0:03:33 > 0:03:38Ooh. Useless mitts!

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Mr Langley.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Howdy, soldier!- Oh, OK.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50My mum thought you might be able to use this.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Nice texture. Well aerated.

0:03:53 > 0:03:57- What's this?- Erm...a bottle cap.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00You're darn tootin' it's a bottle cap!

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Compost is organic matter only!

0:04:03 > 0:04:06If it looks man-made, don't stick it in here.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Make a note of it.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Here, give these to your mother. - Thanks!

0:04:15 > 0:04:18No need to thank me. They're your tomatoes too.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21This is a community garden, son.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26Even if the community doesn't like to do any weeding!

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Dismissed!

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Mmm!

0:04:36 > 0:04:39You're right. This IS a delicious tomato.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43And the best part is our compost helped grow them.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Hey! That one kinda tasted like my yam collection.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49And you wanted me to throw those out in December!

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Bet you're glad I held on to them now.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52DOG BARKS

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Mmm. This is the best tomato I've ever had!

0:04:56 > 0:04:58CRASH!

0:04:58 > 0:05:00DW!

0:05:00 > 0:05:05Mmm. This is the best tomato I've ever had!

0:05:05 > 0:05:10- Mmm. The most delectable lycopersicon esculentum I've ingested!- Hah?

0:05:10 > 0:05:14It's the best tomato I've ever had!

0:05:14 > 0:05:17HE WHISTLES

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Buster, I've heard about your tomatoes.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Let me represent you.- Represent me?

0:05:24 > 0:05:28- You think I should sell my tomatoes? - Not the tomatoes, silly,

0:05:28 > 0:05:35the tomato products - tomato toothpaste, soap, foaming bath gel.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Of course, the real money is in ketchup.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42- I kind of like just giving them away.- That's so sweet!

0:05:42 > 0:05:47OK. You handle production and distribution. Leave marketing to me.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50DOG BARKS

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Mom, could you make sure I'm up by seven tomorrow?

0:06:03 > 0:06:05I wanna get more tomatoes to give away.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Maybe you could bring Mr Langley some of those muffins I made today.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- OK.- You're such a good boy!

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Ah! I really am.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Spare some change, sir?

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Our stomachs our seized with peristaltic contractions,

0:06:26 > 0:06:32- and our mouths are filled with an excess of saliva.- We're hungry!

0:06:32 > 0:06:38A penny, we can't buy anything with this! We're doomed!

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Wait! Look! Up in the sky. It's Cat Saver.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46No, I mean, Piano Tamer. No, it's...

0:06:46 > 0:06:48BOTH: Captain Pomodoro!

0:06:48 > 0:06:50And his dog, Ragu!

0:06:50 > 0:06:52DOG BARKS

0:06:52 > 0:06:57Here you go, boys. They're made from my own secret compost mixture.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00That's why they're so big and juicy.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03BOTH: Thanks...

0:07:04 > 0:07:07..Captain Pomodoro.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10Come, Ragu. We mustn't tarry.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13As long as there is hunger and bland salads in this world,

0:07:13 > 0:07:18- I shall not rest! - BOTH: Bye, Captain Pomodoro!

0:07:18 > 0:07:25On, Plum! On, Cherry! On, Beefsteak! On, Vineripe... !

0:07:25 > 0:07:28ALARM RINGS

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Hello! Mr Langley! Anybody here?

0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Ooh!- Hold it right there, Sticky Fingers!

0:07:45 > 0:07:51- There's a limit on the tomatoes. How many did you take?- All of them.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53This is a community garden, son.

0:07:53 > 0:07:58- That means it's for the community, not just you.- I didn't know!

0:07:58 > 0:08:00- I'll put them back.- You can't.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03Once it's been plucked, you've got to eat it.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06What were you planning to do with all these? Open a restaurant?

0:08:06 > 0:08:10I was just gonna give them away. Here, you can have them.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14These are for you too. Gotta run, bye!

0:08:16 > 0:08:19Pwah! These are tasteless.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23Once you've had the real thing, it's hard to go back.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27- Why don't you get more from that community garden?- I can't.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31I took too many and the guy who runs it got angry at me.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35You could try growing your own. We grew some herbs in our window boxes.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39I bet I'd be a great gardener! I've already grown mould in my cabinet.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42I think it's a little more difficult than that!

0:08:42 > 0:08:45How hard can it be? The sun and rain do all the work.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Hey, are you through with that sandwich?- Yeah. Why?

0:08:49 > 0:08:52It's for my compost.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00I think I'll call you Tom.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Ah! Shoo! Shoo!

0:09:18 > 0:09:21It's been five days and there isn't even a sign of a tomato.

0:09:21 > 0:09:27- What did I do wrong?- I dunno, honey, but I think Tom may be...gone.

0:09:27 > 0:09:32- Do you wanna keep him in your cabinet for a few days?- Ah! No.

0:09:32 > 0:09:39Mr Langley. Here, more compost. I already checked for bottle caps.

0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Why are you throwing out this tomato plant?- Cos it's dead.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47- I killed it.- Well, the hornworms have gotten to it.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49That's what made these holes in the leaves.

0:09:49 > 0:09:55And it's been over-watered. But there may still be life left in her.

0:09:55 > 0:10:02- Him. I er... I named it Tom. - Tom, hah? Follow me.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06That's Douglas, George, Dwight and Mamie.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09- I could put Tom right there, if you want.- OK.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Shall I put him in now? - Hold your horses, Bucko!

0:10:15 > 0:10:17That hole's not nearly deep enough.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21Just resting my mitts on account of the arthritis.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Oh! Let me dig.- Much obliged.

0:10:25 > 0:10:30- My name's Buster, by the way, not Bucko.- I'm Fritz.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Buster, over here!

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Look! I've already designed our first product -

0:10:37 > 0:10:42Buster's all-natural tomato suntan lotion, for that fresh feel.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44And I already sold a bottle!

0:10:44 > 0:10:49That's great, but I won't have more tomatoes for several weeks.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53But I already placed orders. I need three bottles by Monday!

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Sorry, Muffy. Tomatoes take a while to grow.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00But you can have some bok choi. It's a kind of Chinese cabbage.

0:11:00 > 0:11:07Mmm, sounds exotic! We could do skin toners and anti-ageing creams.

0:11:07 > 0:11:12- Hey, Arthur, have some bok choi. - Ahem! That'll be 15 dollars.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15I'm not paying 15 dollars for this!

0:11:15 > 0:11:19You didn't expect Buster to give it to you for free, did you?

0:11:19 > 0:11:24- Well...yeah!- Actually, there's something I'd like in return.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Come on, people, put your backs into it!

0:11:27 > 0:11:30I want this garden shipshape by 16.00.

0:11:30 > 0:11:35Those are weeds, not puppet strings, Professor! Give it some muscle!

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Ooh... Ah!

0:11:38 > 0:11:39Atta boy!

0:11:39 > 0:11:44- Fritz, how's it going?- They're a rag-tag bunch of greenhorns

0:11:44 > 0:11:47who've never stuck their pinkies in a pot of soil.

0:11:47 > 0:11:52- But by golly, I'm gonna make them gardeners!- I think this is ready.

0:11:54 > 0:12:01Mmm. That's the best tomato sauce I've ever had! Well done, Buster.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03I can't take all the credit.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06After all, they were the garden's herbs and Mum prepared it.

0:12:06 > 0:12:13But I did stir the pot. Baxter Company... Follow!

0:12:13 > 0:12:17Ah! Tomato sauce! Why didn't I think of that?

0:12:17 > 0:12:20We'll make millions! It'll be called Buster's Own.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23We'll charge double cos it's organic and...

0:12:23 > 0:12:28- Here, Muffy. Have some garlic bread.- Mmm!

0:12:30 > 0:12:32- # And I say, hey!- Hey

0:12:32 > 0:12:34# What a wonderful kind of day

0:12:34 > 0:12:37# If we can learn to work and play

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- # And get along with each other.- Hey

0:12:40 > 0:12:45- # What a wonderful kind of day.- Hey - What a wonderful kind of day.- Hey!- #
