Big Brother Binky, Part 2 Arthur

# Every day you walk down the street Everybody that you meet

# Has an original point of view

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

# What a wonderful kind of day We 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 your eyes! Open your ears!

# Get together, make things better By working together

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

# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

# We 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!

-Ooh!

-THUD!

-'We begin our descent in to Beijing.'

-Mum, we're almost there.

Oh, my! I feel as if I've been on this aeroplane for ever.

Dad, wake up!

Hm...what? Are they serving breakfast?

Or is it dinner?

We're landing. I can't wait to meet May Lin. Will she be at the airport?

No, dear. It'll be at least

two or three days before we can pick her up.

-More waiting.

-There'll be lots of sightseeing to distract us.

MUSIC PLAYS

HE SLURPS

Run along, little fellow.

This opera - The Monkey King

has some of the best acrobats in the world.

It's tomorrow, can we go?

I'm not sure, Binky. We're picking up your sister tomorrow.

What if they can't find us? What if they give us the wrong baby?

That won't happen. This agency has done this lots of times.

-They know what they're doing.

-We know what she looks like.

Oh, yeah.

That's her!

SHE SPEAKS IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Mr and Mrs Barnes, here is May Lin.

MAY LIN CRIES

Why's she crying? Did we do something wrong?

No, she just doesn't know us yet. It'll take a little time.

Come on, Dad. When will I get the chance to see a Chinese opera again?

I don't know. May Lin's had a busy couple of days.

I think it'll be OK.

Oh, look. She's fallen asleep.

DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS

MAY LIN CRIES

CRYING CONTINUES

CRYING STOPS

Maybe we should go.

It isn't over yet.

Shh!

Look at the monkey. Look - monkey.

CRYING STOPS

-MAY LIN CRIES

-She's not hungry.

I've changed her nappy. Maybe her ears hurt.

Let me try for a while. CRYING CONTINUES

Could you please do something about your baby?

-May Lin, look at me.

-CRYING STOPS

Thank goodness.

Nice going.

It's all in the cheeks.

And then, all I do is this...

..and she stops crying just like that.

But it only works when I do it.

Wow! You have a special gift.

Like Tyler the cat psychic on that show

Ordinary People With Extraordinary Powers.

There's no such thing as a cat psychic.

Oh, yeah! Then how did Tyler know

that Mr Jiggles would only eat minced mackerel?

You really think I have a special gift?

It sounds like it. Maybe we can get it on tape

and then you could be on the show.

Ladies and gentlemen, Binky the human pacifier!

BABY CRIES

CRYING STOPS

BABY CRIES

CAT CRIES

Binky, the human pacifier!

OK. Come over tomorrow. I'll show you how it's done.

How can you tell when she's about to cry?

With Kate it can happen really fast.

One minute she's fine, then she's upset.

We'll have to wait it out.

-Your turn.

-MAY LIN COUGHS

Stand by, Binky. And action, May Lin.

False alarm. What does it take to get a baby to cry?

She'll cry when she's good and ready.

-GAME SQUEAKS

-I win!

Want to play again?

I don't know. Maybe we should go.

We can't give up now. I saw a behind-the-scenes special

about that movie Penguins Do The Darndest Things

and it took them years to get them to do those belly flaps.

That's loud. OK, Binky, show us your gift.

May Lin...

She doesn't like the camera.

-Move back.

-CRYING CONTINUES

-May Lin!

-TOY RATTLES

-CRYING STOPS

-Do you want this?

What did you do that for?

I was just trying to help.

I didn't need help. I was just warming up.

MAY LIN CRIES

-CRYING CONTINUES

-May Lin! >

-CRYING STOPS

-Hi, May Lin.

Come on, Dad. Let's go this way.

MAY LIN CRIES

Look, May Lin, I'm a dancing moose.

-BELL RINGS

-Hi, May Lin.

What are you looking at?

-BINKY:

-Banana split, heavy on the chocolate syrup.

-ASSISTANT: A tough day?

-I used to be able to stop my sister

crying with a look.

-Now, the magic's gone.

-Maybe you need to try something new.

I've tried everything. Silly hats, funny dances, animal sounds.

What about a lullaby?

You think that would work?

Sure, lullabies are a proven method of soothing babies.

A recent study suggests

early exposure to music stimulates brain development.

I'll take this to go.

Goodnight, sweetheart.

MAY LIN CRIES

I know just what to do.

# Rock-a-bye baby In the tree tops

# When the wind blows

# The cradle will rock... #

CRYING CONTINUES

Thanks, but it's time for you to go to bed.

Whoever can stop the princess from crying

shall be given the title of True Brother.

SHE CRIES

CRYING CONTINUES Next.

-Hh-hm!

-CRYING STOPS

It's not fair. He's practised being an older brother -

twice. How can I compete with that?

We have to go back to China.

-What?

-Why?

Because May Lin's not happy here. She wants to go back home.

Binky, her real home is right here.

When we adopted her, we became her family for ever.

If we go back to China, maybe I could get my special power back

or maybe I could get a new one.

I have an idea.

Why don't we all go out for Chinese food, would you like that?

I guess it'll have to do.

Look, it's the Reids.

We should ask them to join us.

Mum, no. What if May Lin wakes up and cries?

I think the Reids understand about crying babies.

Oh, no! She's awake. Don't cry. Please, I can't take it.

When Arthur's around, it's like I'm invisible.

You'd probably rather have him for a brother.

Hey! What did you do that for?

MAY LIN CHUCKLES

Phrrt!

Phhhrt!

BINKY LAUGHS

May Lin, do it again.

Phrrrt!

Phrrrt!

I taught her how to do that.

Isn't it amazing what they learn from each other?

I learnt a lot from Arthur cos he makes so many mistakes.

If I want to do something right, I just do the opposite of what he does.

-DW!

-I'm giving you a complimentation.

BABIES BURBLE

-They're talking baby talk.

-I wonder what they're saying.

-What are those things on your brother's face?

-They're glasses.

My brother's the one with the noodles on his chin.

He's so sweet. Sometimes I wish he'd realise it's not all about him.

-You know what I mean?

-Oh, I sure do.

Arthur loves to play peek-a-boo. At first it was fun,

but he insists on doing it over and over.

BOTH: Hey! May Lin! Peek-a-boo!

< Peek-a-boo!

Here we go again.

Clap and laugh, clap and laugh.
