0:01:08 > 0:01:10PAL BARKS
0:01:10 > 0:01:13It won't be long now. Any day, Pal.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Any day.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Arthur Timothy Read.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24And his scruffy dog, Pal.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27An ordinary boy, in an ordinary town.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30But lately, a boy obsessed.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34A boy whose every thought and action centres on one thing
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and one thing only.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Why are you standing in the corner of my room?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42And who are you talking to?
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Shhhh!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Where was I?
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Oh, yes.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48A boy obsessed.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51A boy who has stepped over an invisible line.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54A line between reality and...
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Hey, I'm talking here!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Yay! Woo-hoo!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06There it is!
0:02:06 > 0:02:08The GX Trailblazer 10,000!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Whoa! My mum would never get me one of those.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I had a hard time getting her to take the training wheels off!.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Well, they're not exactly giving it to me. I have to pay for half.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26Dad says it's a lot of bike for a kid. This bike has everything!
0:02:26 > 0:02:30A 599 tytullium frame, 24 inch alloy mag rims,
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Limsnogger Connection and Klodtrack tyres.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Whoa!
0:02:36 > 0:02:38A Limsnogger connection!
0:02:38 > 0:02:42I don't know what that is but it sure sounds impressive.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Yeah, and that's not all.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50A 21-speed shift and hydrau-static super-coil shock absorbers.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53And look at those tyres!
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Think of the awesome burn outs!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Man! I can't wait to see that bike in action.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Oh, I almost forgot! I'm meeting Brain at the movies.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07It's a double feature, "Aliens Ate My Homework" and "My Mother The Alien."
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Wanna come?- I can't. I'm saving up for my bike. See?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15This is the chart of how much I've saved so far.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- This is how much I need before I get my bike.- That could take forever!
0:03:19 > 0:03:21So far, I'm doing pretty well.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25If I cut out extra expenses, I'll be able to buy my bike next month.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27What counts as extra?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Movies, video games, trips to the sugar bowl.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32That's horrible!
0:03:32 > 0:03:37That's like living in the stone age, or 1980, or something!
0:03:37 > 0:03:38Yeah, it's tough.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40But it'll be worth it.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44THEY LAUGH
0:03:47 > 0:03:50CHILDREN LAUGH
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- PAL BARKS - It's OK.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09I'll be having more fun than ever, once I get my bike.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Every little bit helps.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Hey!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I can see myself. Right there!
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Mwah!
0:04:21 > 0:04:22DW!
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Pal!
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I did it!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I saved enough money to buy my new bike!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Just think, Pal.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42Tomorrow, I'll be the owner of a GX Trailblazer 10,000.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Look out Elwood City, here I come!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Whoo-hooo!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Yee-Haaah!
0:04:54 > 0:04:58I wish I had a super fast, super cool bike too!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Don't cry, DW.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Someday you might be as cool as your brother. But probably not.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Wah!
0:05:09 > 0:05:12This is a job for Bionic Bunny!
0:05:12 > 0:05:16So, when's your Dad taking you to get the new bike?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- As soon as he gets back from the store.- TV:- Sweet!
0:05:19 > 0:05:24I can chop this baby down for parts and get a lot of money for it.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29I wonder if someone will wanna steal your new bike
0:05:29 > 0:05:31and chop it down for parts?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35It could happen. It's as nice as a sports car.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39BIONIC BUNNY: Just try breaking into that!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Ready to pick up your new wheels?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Am I ever!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47So, how come you brought your old bike?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Dad says if I trade it in, I can get a discount on my new bike.- Oh.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I kinda hate to see this one go, though. It's a good bike.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58We've been through a lot together.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00BOTH: Whoah! Oooh!
0:06:00 > 0:06:04I'm gonna be extra careful with my new bike,
0:06:04 > 0:06:05so it doesn't get beat up.
0:06:09 > 0:06:15- Whoa! Nice wheels! - The GX Trailblazer 10,000!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Come on, Arthur! Show us what it can do!- OK! Here I go!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Whoa!- Hey!- Watch out!
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Phew! No scratches.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29That was a close one.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I better walk this home and get it cleaned up.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Be careful, Arthur!
0:06:42 > 0:06:47Someone will want to steal your bike and chop it down for parts! Whoa!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49It could happen.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51It's as nice as a sports car.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Hey, I can't breathe!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Oh!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14YAWN!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Hey, Arthur, wanna ride with me over to the park?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Mmmm, I don't think so.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26It might rain today and I don't want my Trailblazer 10,000 to get rusty.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27It's just a bike.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32The GX Trailblazer 10,000 is a sophisticated piece of machinery.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Oh!
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Phew!
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Well, I'm glad my bike is the kind you ride.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45The GX Trailblazer 10,000 needs super-safe storage.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48PAL SNIFFS
0:07:51 > 0:07:54What should we do? Mad Mud Dirt Derby?
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Let's loop the park three times. Call it Le Tour de Elwood City.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Where's Arthur?
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Hey! What gives? Where's the hot new wheels?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I'm saving it for a special occasion.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11What's the point of a cool bike if you never use it?
0:08:11 > 0:08:16What's the point in wrecking it after I saved all that money?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Come here, let me show you.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I got this racing to a bowling tournament.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- I got back up and I won. - I got a better one.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I got this when I was riding with no hands and ran into a fence.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Oh, yeah? Well, I got this...
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Actually, my bike came like this.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35I think it's used.
0:08:35 > 0:08:41The point is, nothing says "I love you" like a few battle scars.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Francine doesn't understand.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48She doesn't have the GX Trailblazer 10,000.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52It's not just a bike, it's... it's a work of art.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57A 599 tytullium frame with a Limsnogger Connection
0:08:57 > 0:08:59and Klodtrack tyres.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00And see these?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Hydrau-static super-coil shock absorbers.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09I'm gonna ride my bike, someday, it just has to be the perfect occasion.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Who...who are you?
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I am the Ghost of Bicycles Never Ridden.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21What do you want?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24"Bicycles Never Ridden?" Boy!
0:09:24 > 0:09:29You pick the most obvious name you can and people still don't get it.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34OK, but the GX Trailblazer 10,000 is not just a bike, it's...
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- it's a work of...- Yeah, yeah! Grab my cape.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45We couldn't just use the stairs?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47It's more impressive this way.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Look!
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Look upon these, Arthur Read.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53They're just plates.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Not just any plates - china plates.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02People get these as wedding presents and they never eat off of 'em.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03They just wash 'em.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Nice, huh?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- I didn't know Mr Crosswire had a car like that.- Nobody does.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19He never drives it.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Wha! Uncovered!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Stand back!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26My baby!
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I'm not as bad as that.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30It's not the same.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Is too.- Is not!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Is too.- Is naaaaah!
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Ah! They're just too pretty to wear. What if I scuffed them?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Tsk! Girls!
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Soon her feet will get bigger
0:10:46 > 0:10:50and she won't be able to wear them, even if she wants to.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Just like YOU won't be able to ride your bike.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Hey! What are you doing in my room?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00How can she see us? I thought we were ghosts.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I know you. You're the Ghost of Lunch Tomorrow.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Um...gotta go!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08So what's it going to be?
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Pizza or cold macaroni?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Um...ixnay on the unchlay.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- I'm afraid that's all we have time for today.- Oh!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21This looks like my room, only dustier.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Is that me?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Just once, before I'm too old...
0:11:29 > 0:11:31THEY COUGH
0:11:31 > 0:11:35..I'm gonna ride this bike.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37BIKE SQUEAKS
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Ahhhh!
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Oh! It was only a dream. There's still time.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52My bike doesn't have to become a rusty heap of unused parts.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- Should we wait for Arthur? - Are you kidding?
0:11:56 > 0:12:01- He doesn't even take his bike out on sunny days.- Prunella's right.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Let's get going.- What's that?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- Look at that guy go! - Look at the tread on those tyres.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11And those super-coil shocks!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15ALL: You made it!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Cool!- Nice moves!
0:12:17 > 0:12:20What's the point of a bike if you never ride it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:27OK, let's see if it'll help you beat the rest of us. Ready, set, go!
