Big Brother Binky, Part 1 Arthur

# Every day when you're walking down the street

# Everybody that you meet has an original point of view

# And I say, "Hey!"

-# Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

# If you can learn to work and play

# And get along with each other

# You gotta listen to your heart, listen to the beat

# Listen to the rhythm of the street

# Open up your eyes, open up your ears

# Get together and make things better by working together

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

# Oh, believe in yourself

# For that's the place to start

# And I say, "Hey!"

-# Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

# If you can learn to work and play

# And get along with each other

# What a wonderful kind of day

-# Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

# Hey! #

Hey, DW!

-Hey!

-Whoa! Ooh!

-Greetings, master.

-Why have you come?

I wish to learn the way of the Big Brother.

The path is long and will cost you dearly.

OK, forget it.

Uh, wait! All right, I'll throw in the first lesson for free.

Come on in.

We begin with a demonstration - eagle retaining remote.

Take the remote.

You really are the master!

Now, retrieve the cookie.

-How did you do that?!

-It's called Big Brother Becomes The Wind.

The time has come to test your skills on a worthy opponent. DW!

Here is your challenge - get to the remote before DW.

Hold on, I'm not ready.

That's better. I don't know what Arthur told you,

-but I'm the one who makes the rules.

-Huh?!

The rules say I make the first move.

I also get to make the last one. Rule number one - I make up the rules.

-What do I do?

-Fingerblock and Run Like Water.

The best defence for Little Sister Squawks Like Chicken!

I can run and talk at the same time, you know. Wait!

-Well, dear, shall you tell him?

-Can I? Or do you want to?

What, tell me what?

BOTH@ We're planning on adopting a baby!

-What do you think?

-OK. May I be excused?

Wide World of Wrestling is on in two minutes.

CHEERING, BELL RINGS

The Timber Twins have splintered the competition!

-But look who's waiting in the wings.

-You better knock wood!

So now that your show's over, let's talk a little.

-How are you feeling about all this?

-Great! Can't wait to see

-The Timber Twins take on The Hacksaw next week.

-What about our plan?

Um, fine, I guess. Will it be like having a penpal?

-Will I have to write him all the time?

-Well, no.

Adoption means you'll be somebody's older brother for ever.

You mean when we adopt, I'll get to be a big brother?!

Some kids are brothers and sisters by birth and some by adoption.

I'm gonna be an older brother?!

Yep, we're gonna adopt a girl from China.

I'm gonna be an older brother with a little sister!

Woo-hoo!

When are they gonna send us my sister?

-Isn't she gonna be scared flying here by herself?

-No,

-because we're going to go to China to get her.

-We're going to China too?!

This is the best day ever.

Mwa!

'And in this corner, we have Bernie The Bulldozer!

'Wide World Champion five times over.

'Tonight, he takes on Binky and his sister,

'The Pair of Despair!'

Ah, I can't see! I can't see!

BABY GIGGLES

Uncle! Uncle!

BELL RINGS

Well, big brother, you better get ready.

I'm all packed and ready for China.

Binky, it could be a whole year before we go!

A whole year?! Why?

There's lots to do. There are forms to fill out,

interviews we have to have, paperwork to send to China,

-meet with a social worker...

-What am I supposed to do, just wait?

You can help us with the paperwork.

Here, I hereby elect you keeper of the check list.

Your job is to help us keep on track and get everything done.

Ah, OK. There isn't a box for it, but that toast needs buttering.

This picture's for the people in China taking care of my sister

so make it good! Don't forget to smile.

But show them we're serious about this. Serious, but also really nice.

That's it!

-You're sure everything's in here?

-It's all ready.

I triple checked the list.

Good luck, have a safe trip.

Our papers are on their way to China!

Ah, my favourite - peanut-free egg rolls.

"Shay shay!" Sue Ellen taught me how to say thank you in Chinese.

It's wonderful you've learned some Chinese before our trip.

Little sister is "mei mei" and big brother is "da gei".

Here's to getting all our paperwork in on time.

Now there's nothing to do but wait. I hope it won't be long.

-We still have more to do!

-We've got to get your sister's room together.

Are we gonna build her a new room? Maybe I could get a bigger room?

No, we're gonna turn the spare room into her room.

The spare room?! You mean, my game room?

Some of the stuff we can give away or store in the garage.

What stuff?! Not my stuff!

Don't worry, we'll find another place to put your games.

Oh, my! I forgot I put this up here.

-This would look nice in your sister's bijabe.

-What's that?

It's a 100 good wishes quilt. We'll ask friends and family

to contribute some fabric and a good wish. Then I'll make a quilt.

Did you make one of those for me?

No. It's a tradition from Northern China.

I didn't know about it for you.

So she gets 100 good wishes and what do I get?

Binky! For your sister's quilt.

She's gonna love unicorns.

For your sister's quilt. So she'll believe.

Hmm...

I know chequers is in here somewhere.

-There's my patch, the one with the pandas!

-Oh!

-I can't find anything any more.

-Look what just arrived.

Can you guess who this is?

My sister!

-She looks kinda....small.

-Can I call my mum and DW?

Of course. Let's invite them to see the picture.

I thought we were gonna play chequers!

I'm an expert at taking care of babies, so call me any time.

Thank you, DW, I'll keep that in mind.

When can you bring her home?

Well, the call could come any day now. Oh!

-I forgot about Binky's travel shots.

-Shots?

-Was that it? Was that the last one?

-Yep, that was the last one.

Hmm, this baby better be worth it!

-Oh, no!

-Can I put this in your bag, Mum?

Oh, dear, we can't take that.

But the red lacewing is only found in China. This could be my change

-to see one!

-We've gotta put some diapers and formula in your bag.

-I don't need that stuff.

-They're for your sister.

-Oh.

Hmm...

-That's better. Now we're all packed.

-Fine. I'm going to bed.

-Thanks for helping.

-I guess there's no room for my stuff any more.

BABY BABBLES

Breakfast time, you iddle-widdle sweetie pie! And you too, Binky.

Mum! Mum!

-Here we go, baby-waby!

-Ah!

Oh, no! I'm not baby food!

He-e-e-e-lp!

Binky, wake up, dear!

-Oh, but it's three o'clock in the morning!

-Come on,

we've got a plane to catch.

Don't do that, honey. No kicking, sweetie.

Do you want me to come back there and make you stop?

-Binky! I'm so sorry.

-But she was kicking me!

Why are you taking her side? I bet that's how it'll be with my sister.

-What do you mean?

-You don't care about me like you used to.

Oh, Binky. I know this is a big change for all of us,

but I'm gonna love you as much as I always have.

-This thing keeps blowing cold air in my face.

-This might help.

-You made this for me?

-I thought you'd like to have a bijabe

-like your sister.

-Thanks, Mum. This is great.

-So, are you looking forward to meeting her?

-Yeah, I am.

I wonder if she's looking forward to meeting me?
