0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hey, DW!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04HEY!
0:01:07 > 0:01:12Student log, May 15, still no sign of civilisation.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14We're lost in the Sahara
0:01:14 > 0:01:18after a trip to the Ellwood Petting Zoo went wrong.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Horribly wrong!
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- The only food we have left is... - "Jellied pepper popcorn.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28"Now extra spicy!"
0:01:30 > 0:01:34At least we still have a full bottle of water.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Francine! What are you doing?!
0:01:37 > 0:01:42I can't tell if this is dirt on my wrist or a freckle.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45But we need that water for drinking!
0:01:45 > 0:01:50Correction. Less than a full bottle... Muffy, are you crazy?!
0:01:50 > 0:01:55Shoo! Bad bird! I'm trying to scare it off.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- Shoo!- But you're wasting our water!
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Water supply's dwindling fast.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05A water balloon?!
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Don't tell anyone. You'll spoil it.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- Hey, Buster!- Huh?!
0:02:12 > 0:02:17Guys, we'll never survive if we waste all our water.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Our lovely, cool, quenching, refreshing...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Oops!
0:02:35 > 0:02:39# Take the midnight train and baby
0:02:39 > 0:02:43# I'll be waiting at the station for you! #
0:02:43 > 0:02:48I sound good! I can't believe I've been taking baths all these years!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- # You and me... #- Miaow!
0:02:51 > 0:02:55You were in the shower for half an hour!
0:02:55 > 0:03:01- Sorry, Katherine. Is there a law against washing?- Look at this!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04"Boy finds chip shaped like donkey."
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Not that! This!
0:03:06 > 0:03:10"Drought hits Ellwood City." So?
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Reservoir levels are at a 40-year low.- So there's a drought!
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- It's not like one girl taking a shower makes a difference!- Mom!
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Arthur! What do you think you are doing?!
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Hey!- It's called water conversation.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31You mean "conservation".
0:03:31 > 0:03:35What it's really called is annoying your brother.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Miss Morgan says if you use all the water, there'll be none left for my generation.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46We're the same generation! I'm not using up all the water!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Mom!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I wasn't using up that much water!
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- I like running water when I brush my teeth. It's calming.- Calming?!
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Like how a waterfall is calming.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06You need calming when you brush your teeth?! That's a little weird.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09At least I'm not wasting water screeching in the shower!
0:04:09 > 0:04:15It's called singing, and I bet your family uses twice the water we do.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Oh, yeah?! Wanna bet? Whoever uses more water in a week...
0:04:19 > 0:04:24- ..has to carry the winner's book bag for the whole month.- You're on!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29B-9...B-10.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- What are you up to, Francine? - Nothing, Mr Sanders!
0:04:32 > 0:04:38You're always up to something. Filling my suggestion box with suggestions.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42We didn't have a suggestion box till you suggested it.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45My mum said our water meter is here.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49They were useful when everyone used to pay for their own water.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Now it's easier if I raise the rent and pay the water myself.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59So I can use as much water as I want and it doesn't cost any extra?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02How much water ARE you using?
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Uh...hardly any at all. I'm checking the meter all week to prove it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11You know what? I think I'll be checking it too.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I'll just be a second.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Putting a plastic bottle in the toilet saves 3 litres each flush.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27You're going to put your hand in the toilet? Gross!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30It means I won't have to shorten my showers.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35The point isn't to save a little in one place to waste a lot elsewhere.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Let go of the lid!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43N-O-O!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Oh-oh!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49We're glad you're trying to conserve.
0:05:49 > 0:05:55- Every little bit makes a difference. - See?- So, shorter showers for you!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I tried telling her.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01And you can stop taking those nightly baths.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06- Showers use less water.- Unless those showers are a half hour long.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Francine, it'll be your job...- To kick Katherine out of the shower?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15..to tell Mr Sanders about the lid you broke.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It just fell over?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Maybe it was kind of my fault.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26But I went online to check out replacements.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30And it wouldn't cost much more to replace the whole toilet with...
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- Low-flush model?- They use 12l less per flush. Think of the savings!
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Nope! I'm just ordering the lid.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Rats! A new toilet and I've won that bet for sure.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48So yesterday our family used 1,600l of water.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It seems like a lot, but... Argh!
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Since you OLD people are wasting all MY water,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I took things into my own hands.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02DW, this is almost 4l of water! How much water have you used?!
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- I don't know. The bath tubs are pretty big.- The bath tubs?!
0:07:07 > 0:07:08No!
0:07:08 > 0:07:13Arthur, whatever's wrong, hiding in the basement won't help.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Believe me - I speak from experience.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I'm reading the water meter.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22In the last 24 hours, we've used...
0:07:22 > 0:07:25over 2,000 litres!
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I've just got to win this bet with Arthur.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I put a plastic bottle in the toilet. That will help.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Wait! I forgot to put the pool cover on.
0:07:35 > 0:07:41Mom and Dad make me do it cos it saves like a tonne of water a month.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- Do you need help? - That's OK. I'll handle it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47But this drought is a real drag.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57So since yesterday... Carry the 2 + 3...
0:07:57 > 0:08:02We used 2,500 litres?!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04How was that possible?!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07If your family keeps using water like that,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10you'll be paying for it.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14..Yeah, that goal in the third period was amazing.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19I knew it! You can't save water at home and waste it somewhere else!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22I'm calling a 20l penalty.
0:08:22 > 0:08:28Well, I'll call a 200l penalty for a shower you had at a friend's house!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Sorry! It slipped out.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35OK! We'll play fair for the rest of the bet. Agreed?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41How did THEY get in here?
0:08:47 > 0:08:483,000 litres?!
0:08:54 > 0:08:553,400?!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58How can the numbers be going up?!
0:09:05 > 0:09:10That shower was 4½ minutes. Try to shave a minute off next time.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Where are we going? - To get this petition signed.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It's impossible!
0:09:17 > 0:09:22How can our family be using 3,600 litres a day?!
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Something's wrong with the meter. - The meter's fine.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28It's you using up all the water in town!
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Look what I found in my suggestion box!
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Everyone signed a petition for new toilets.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Do you know how many units...?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40'3,600 litres a day?!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43'What happens if the number just keeps rising?'
0:09:43 > 0:09:46# ..for the midnight train... #
0:09:48 > 0:09:51You've done it now, Francine!
0:09:51 > 0:09:54You just used all the water in Ellwood city!
0:09:54 > 0:09:58No! But Muffy's birthday pool party was today!
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Spare any water, sir?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Thank you, sir. ..Thanks a lot, Francine(!)
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I'm here! Muffy!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Thanks a lot, Francine(!)
0:10:19 > 0:10:26..Not to mention the labour installing 110 toilets...
0:10:26 > 0:10:30So after a whole week, the moment of truth has arrived.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34The Reids used 10,500 litres last week.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37How about the Frenskies?
0:10:37 > 0:10:4034,000 litres?!
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Francine, do you run a car wash?!
0:10:43 > 0:10:48I've checked for leaks in the toilet. I fixed the kitchen faucet.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- I can't figure it out.- There's clearly only one explanation.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Aliens!
0:10:57 > 0:11:02I read that even though alien technology is superior to ours,
0:11:02 > 0:11:07they failed to develop flush toilets for their space ships.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Which means only one thing.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18They have to make intergalactic rest stops on our planet.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24The aliens must really like your bathroom.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- Aliens?! Thanks, Buster! I'll keep that in mind. - TOILET FLUSHES
0:11:31 > 0:11:36- My parents are out, so that must have been Katherine.- What?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39If it wasn't her, it must have been...
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- an alien!- What shall we do?
0:11:43 > 0:11:49We can't burst in. It's not polite - even if it IS an alien.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- TOILET FLUSHES - That's another 20 litres!
0:11:52 > 0:11:57All right, alien, I've had it with you!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Nemo?! So you're the one?!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06That's why I have a dog.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09I tried not to put too many books in it today.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13Don't worry, Francine - only ten days left.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16At least Sanders replaced all the toilets in my building.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Over ten years, he'll save 25 million litres of water.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23So I lost the bet, but I also kind of won.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Ssh. Listen.
