-Hey!

0:00:110:00:13

# What a wonderful kind of day

0:00:130:00:15

# If you can learn to work and play

0:00:150:00:18

# And get along with each other

0:00:180:00:21

# You've got to listen to your heart Listen to the beat

0:00:210:00:24

# Listen to the rhythm Rhythm of the street

0:00:240:00:27

# Open up your eyes Open up your ears

0:00:270:00:30

# Get together and make things better By working together

0:00:300:00:34

# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart

0:00:340:00:38

# Oh, believe in yourself

0:00:380:00:40

# For that's the place to start

0:00:400:00:43

-# I say, hey!

-Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

0:00:430:00:48

# If you learn to work and play And get along with each other

0:00:480:00:53

-# Hey! What a wonderful kind of day

-Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

0:00:530:00:58

# Hey! #

0:00:580:00:59

Hey! DW!

0:00:590:01:01

-Hey!

-Whoa...

0:01:020:01:05

Oh, Mum, it's so great - a whole weekend in Crown City.

0:01:080:01:12

The museums, the plays.

0:01:120:01:14

And don't forget, we're travelling on the Crown City Star.

0:01:140:01:18

What a beautiful train she is! I haven't seen her in years.

0:01:180:01:22

I can't wait!

0:01:220:01:24

I bet it'll be just like in those old movies.

0:01:240:01:27

TOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

0:01:270:01:29

Oh, Rick, isn't riding the Trans-Siberian Express grand?

0:01:290:01:33

I'll say.

0:01:330:01:35

And now that we've recovered the stolen diamonds,

0:01:350:01:38

we can sit back and enjoy the view.

0:01:380:01:41

Monsieur, Madame, passeports, s'il vous plait.

0:01:410:01:45

Huh! Rick, the diamonds!

0:01:460:01:49

They're gone!

0:01:490:01:52

DOG BARKS

0:01:520:01:54

TOOOOOOOT TOOOOOOOT!

0:01:590:02:00

You'll never catch me, Rick and Lola. Never!

0:02:030:02:07

We'll see about that, Guy Collarde, AKA, le Brain!

0:02:080:02:14

Careful, Rick! Don't lose your head!

0:02:140:02:18

Tell that to him!

0:02:210:02:23

Ha ha ha!

0:02:230:02:25

See! You'll never catch me!

0:02:250:02:27

Never!

0:02:270:02:29

< Are you ready, honey?

0:02:300:02:32

Here it is. The Crown City Star!

0:02:340:02:38

Huh?!

0:02:380:02:40

Well, I'm sure the inside is much nicer!

0:02:480:02:53

Or...not.

0:02:560:02:58

No offence, Mum, but this train is a bit of a...

0:03:010:03:05

A dump?

0:03:050:03:06

They've really let it go.

0:03:060:03:09

Not quite as you'd remembered, huh? Oh, she used to be a real beaut!

0:03:090:03:13

But like a lot of us, she's got a little older.

0:03:130:03:18

What about the plush sleeper cars?

0:03:180:03:20

The elegant dining car? The lounge car?

0:03:200:03:23

They're planning to fix her up soon, but for now this is it.

0:03:230:03:27

Ooh, there is a snack car.

0:03:270:03:29

-Oh...

-RUMBLING

0:03:290:03:31

Oh, pardon me!

0:03:310:03:34

That's OK.

0:03:340:03:35

Clumsy me! Always dropping something.

0:03:350:03:38

Rather lose my hat than my head, eh?

0:03:380:03:41

I hope there's someone fun to talk to on this train.

0:03:420:03:46

Let's sit here.

0:03:490:03:51

Wanna go exploring? We might find something fun!

0:03:530:03:57

No. I think I'll just stay here.

0:03:570:04:00

OK, suit yourself. See you later.

0:04:000:04:03

Oh...

0:04:070:04:09

Hello again, fellow traveller.

0:04:100:04:13

So, have you been on this train before?

0:04:130:04:16

Nope. First time.

0:04:160:04:18

Oh, very exciting.

0:04:180:04:20

Where are you off to?

0:04:200:04:22

Crown City.

0:04:220:04:24

Crown City! You know, they have some great museums there.

0:04:240:04:28

Yep! They sure do.

0:04:280:04:29

You know, the conductor mentioned a snack car.

0:04:290:04:33

I think I'll go check it out.

0:04:330:04:35

OK.

0:04:350:04:36

See you later, alligator.

0:04:360:04:38

There just have to be some kids on this train.

0:04:380:04:42

Whoops!

0:04:430:04:45

What's this?

0:04:450:04:47

Hm, a diary!

0:04:470:04:49

"Private property of Betsy Johnson, age eight."

0:04:490:04:54

Hey, that means there's another girl on this train.

0:04:540:04:58

I bet she'd like this back.

0:04:580:05:01

Maybe she already got off the train.

0:05:010:05:03

I wonder if there are any clues inside.

0:05:050:05:08

"To travel is to experience the world first-hand

0:05:090:05:12

"and breathe deep the air of mystic lands."

0:05:120:05:16

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

0:05:180:05:20

RAGTIME MUSIC

0:05:200:05:22

First day out of St Louis on a Mississippi river boat.

0:05:220:05:26

A man named Jules Jackson taught me how to play cards.

0:05:260:05:29

By the end of the day, I'd won a necktie,

0:05:290:05:32

a bag of peanuts, and the deed to a cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

0:05:320:05:37

-Read 'em and weep, fellas!

-ALL: Huh?!

0:05:370:05:39

Day 15 on my cross country trip.

0:05:410:05:44

Here at Lake Louise, I've discovered a whole new use for taffy.

0:05:440:05:48

Grrrrrrrrr!

0:05:480:05:49

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

0:05:490:05:51

Nice bear!

0:05:510:05:53

Good bear!

0:05:530:05:54

Phew!

0:05:540:05:57

TOOOOOOOOOOOT!

0:05:570:05:59

Day 30.

0:06:000:06:02

Hollywood at last. I had a fortuitous accident

0:06:020:06:05

just outside of Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

0:06:050:06:08

Wow! Betsy sounds amazing.

0:06:120:06:14

I wonder if she could still be on the train.

0:06:140:06:17

That's weird.

0:06:230:06:24

I wonder who put those here.

0:06:240:06:26

Maybe Mum can help me figure this out.

0:06:260:06:29

"Gone to observation car. Be back soon.

0:06:360:06:39

"Love, Mum."

0:06:390:06:40

Another note?

0:06:400:06:42

"Did you get my gift?

0:06:430:06:46

"I always carry taffy with me when I travel.

0:06:460:06:49

"Hope we can talk soon."

0:06:490:06:51

That writing!

0:06:510:06:53

It looks familiar.

0:06:530:06:54

They're the same.

0:06:560:06:57

Betsy is still on board.

0:06:570:06:59

I have to find her.

0:06:590:07:01

We'll have so much to talk about.

0:07:010:07:03

-Huh?!

-I'm sorry.

0:07:080:07:11

I just don't understand it.

0:07:170:07:19

Where could she be?

0:07:190:07:21

-RUMBLING

-Whoa...

0:07:210:07:23

Well, Betsy's definitely not in here.

0:07:230:07:26

What are you doing here?

0:07:260:07:28

Oh, it's you.

0:07:280:07:30

I-I just... I just kind of fell in here while I was looking for...

0:07:300:07:35

Looking for...?

0:07:350:07:36

Looking for a girl my age on the train.

0:07:360:07:39

-I've searched everywhere, but can't find her.

-A girl, eh?

0:07:390:07:43

Besides you, there are no other girls on this train.

0:07:430:07:47

How could that be?

0:07:470:07:49

-Unless you mean...

-Yes?

0:07:490:07:51

TOOT! TOOT! ..The ghost of the Crown City Star.

0:07:510:07:55

A ghost?

0:07:550:07:57

Legend has it that a girl on the very first Crown City Star

0:07:570:08:02

lost her ticket.

0:08:020:08:04

Having no money, she wasn't allowed to get off the train.

0:08:040:08:08

They say she's been wandering the aisles all these years,

0:08:080:08:13

-searching for another girl to take her place.

-Ah!

0:08:130:08:18

TOOOOT!

0:08:180:08:19

Of course, who believes ghost stories, huh?

0:08:190:08:22

-Ha ha ha!

-He he he!

0:08:220:08:25

A ghost! That's the silliest thing I've ever heard.

0:08:260:08:31

I mean, I have her diary.

0:08:320:08:34

Ghosts don't keep diaries.

0:08:340:08:37

"My first train trip. New for 1935."

0:08:380:08:43

New for 1935?!

0:08:430:08:47

And today's entry - "It's hard to believe,

0:08:470:08:50

"but once again I'm on the Crown City Star!

0:08:500:08:53

"It's been a very long time. Maybe I'll meet someone fun this trip!"

0:08:530:08:58

She is still on this train.

0:08:580:09:00

The candy!

0:09:000:09:01

The note!

0:09:010:09:03

The diary!

0:09:030:09:04

They're all Betsy. Betsy's a ghost.

0:09:040:09:08

And she wants me to ride on this train for ever.

0:09:080:09:12

"Legend has it that a girl on the very first Crown City Star

0:09:120:09:17

"lost her ticket.

ECHOING

0:09:400:09:42

TOOT! TOOT!

0:09:440:09:46

Will you be my friend?

0:09:480:09:50

Ah! Mum!

0:09:500:09:52

Really? That's wonderful.

0:09:520:09:54

Mum! Mum!

0:09:540:09:56

-Mum!

-Honey, what is it? You look as if you've seen a ghost.

0:09:560:10:01

I found this girl's diary, I tried to find the girl, but she's nowhere,

0:10:010:10:05

because she's a ghost, she left me a note and she wanders the aisles

0:10:050:10:08

and she wants me to ride on this train for ever.

0:10:080:10:11

I'm sure there's a logical explanation.

0:10:110:10:14

-Is there a name on the diary?

-Yeah, it belongs to a girl named Betsy.

0:10:140:10:18

Really? That's funny.

0:10:180:10:20

I was just talking to our fellow passenger here

0:10:200:10:24

and her name is Betsy.

0:10:240:10:25

-She's travelled on this train many times before.

-Here!

0:10:250:10:29

Would you care for a saltwater taffy?

0:10:290:10:32

I always carry them with me.

0:10:320:10:33

You. You left me the candy on the table.

0:10:330:10:37

And the note!

0:10:370:10:38

Oh! That was just me trying to liven things up a bit!

0:10:380:10:43

You looked so bored.

0:10:430:10:45

So it's you.

0:10:450:10:46

You're Betsy.

0:10:460:10:48

You're the ghost.

0:10:480:10:50

-Sue Ellen!

-Sorry.

0:10:500:10:52

I may have a few years on you,

0:10:520:10:54

but I'm far from being a ghost.

0:10:540:10:57

The diary. It was written by a little girl in the 1930s.

0:10:570:11:01

How did it get here?

0:11:010:11:03

And what happened to her?

0:11:030:11:05

We were talking about that when you showed up.

0:11:050:11:08

Betsy's going to be published.

0:11:080:11:10

You must be so proud!

0:11:100:11:12

I am, actually.

0:11:120:11:14

It's not every lady who gets her diaries published.

0:11:140:11:18

So, this is your diary?

0:11:180:11:21

Hm-mm. And thanks so much for finding it.

0:11:210:11:25

I was writing in it today, but then...

0:11:250:11:27

Well, I didn't know where it had got to.

0:11:270:11:31

Clumsy me!

0:11:310:11:32

I assume you read some of it.

0:11:320:11:35

Well, you see...

0:11:350:11:37

Oh, it's quite all right. I would have done the same thing.

0:11:370:11:41

I think we're very alike, you and I.

0:11:410:11:43

You know, I never thought I'd have so much in common with someone so...

0:11:430:11:49

With someone so old?

0:11:490:11:51

That's OK.

0:11:510:11:52

It's true.

0:11:520:11:54

But seeing as you know about my travels,

0:11:540:11:57

I'd like to hear about yours.

0:11:570:11:59

I love travel stories.

0:11:590:12:03

Me, too!

0:12:030:12:04

Let's see. Oh, yeah!

0:12:040:12:07

Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to go to Paris.

0:12:070:12:11

Ah! The City of Lights.

0:12:110:12:14

And two years ago my dream came true.

0:12:140:12:17

A taxi driver, who spoke perfect English,

0:12:170:12:20

asked where we wanted to go,

0:12:200:12:22

and I said, "Take us to the Awful Tower."

0:12:220:12:25

-LAUGHTER

-It was terrible.

0:12:250:12:27

Mum and Dad couldn't stop laughing!
