0:01:08 > 0:01:14Grizelda the Fearless knew that the magic chalice lay hidden nearby

0:01:14 > 0:01:17but first, she had to sneak past

0:01:17 > 0:01:24the dreaded three-headed dog of Doogenkirk. Luckily, it was asleep.

0:01:24 > 0:01:31So all Grizelda had to do was tiptoe by in utter silence.

0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Oops! - CLANKING

0:01:35 > 0:01:38DOG BARKS, GIRL SCREAMS

0:01:45 > 0:01:51- Lady Pinfore, Lady Pinfore, let me in! I beseech thee!- What?!

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Your Ladyship, please grant me shelter.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57The three-headed dog of Doogenkirk is behind me!

0:01:57 > 0:02:00I can't play, I'm studying for a test.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02How could the threat of a mere test

0:02:02 > 0:02:06- compare with...? - It's not just a test, Prune,

0:02:06 > 0:02:09it's the college exam, and it's much scarier

0:02:09 > 0:02:12than any three-headed dog, so keep it down.

0:02:12 > 0:02:18- Don't worry, boy, - I- still think you're terrifying.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21And I predict that you will shortly see...

0:02:27 > 0:02:30One Magical Mystery Sundae, please.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Wanna fight the three-headed dog of Doogenkirk?

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Sorry, I have tap class.

0:02:36 > 0:02:42- Don't you do that with Rubella? - She's studying for some silly test.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47You mean the college exam? It IS a big test. It's what colleges look at

0:02:47 > 0:02:53- when deciding whether to take you. - A single exam gets you into college?

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Daddy must've got an A +.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00He went to Ivy University, and that's the best college there is.

0:03:00 > 0:03:05The college exam isn't graded with a letter, Muffy. It's with numbers.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Oh. Then I guess he got a million.

0:03:07 > 0:03:13- What if you don't do well on exams? - Colleges also look at your grades.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17So, if you're a good student, you shouldn't need to worry.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20What if you're an...OK student?

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Don't worry. There are a zillion colleges.

0:03:23 > 0:03:28- I'm sure at least one will take you. - Do you want gummy newts in that?

0:03:28 > 0:03:32Actually...I've lost my appetite.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36'There are a zillion colleges.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40'I'm sure at least one will take you...will take you...'

0:03:40 > 0:03:45..Prunella Deegen, for successfully completing four years

0:03:45 > 0:03:50of pie-throwing, I, Dean Pickles, of the Whoop-Dee-Doo Clown College,

0:03:50 > 0:03:54present you this non-refundable diploma.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Congratulations.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- BUZZING - Argh!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01LAUGHTER

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Argh!

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Are you checking out all the Henry Screever books?

0:04:10 > 0:04:13I've reserved the Chalice Of Malice.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17These are text books. Quantum physics, Surrealist poetry,

0:04:17 > 0:04:21- the Crimean War...- Since when are you interested in that?

0:04:21 > 0:04:25Since I decided I don't wanna go to Clown College.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Are you still worried about that?

0:04:27 > 0:04:31There are other ways to get in besides good grades.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35They also want people who are well-rounded.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37But I'm thin as a rail!

0:04:37 > 0:04:43No, silly, well-rounded means having lots of interests and activities.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Does being a Henry Screever fan count?

0:04:45 > 0:04:50Uh...no. They have to be things that make you seem excited.

0:04:50 > 0:04:51What do you do?

0:04:51 > 0:04:57I folk dance, play the okarina, and I come here and read to little kids.

0:04:57 > 0:05:03- How do you have time for that?- When you really care, you find the time.

0:05:03 > 0:05:08Chapter One. "A funny face peered at me through the gate.

0:05:08 > 0:05:14- "It was none other than my pet goat." - I won't need these, Miss Turner.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Oh, this one sounds great. "Kendo, the ancient art

0:05:19 > 0:05:23- "of Japanese sword fighting." - You're only nine!

0:05:23 > 0:05:27- No need to worry about college yet. - Easy for you to say,

0:05:27 > 0:05:31you get straight A's. Oh! How about "Artisanal cheese making?"

0:05:31 > 0:05:33Would colleges like that?

0:05:33 > 0:05:36You don't even like cheese.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39This is cheese MAKING, not cheese EATING.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42What about, "Assembling your own V8 engine"?

0:05:42 > 0:05:45No other nine-year-olds take that.

0:05:45 > 0:05:50- They should be things you want to do.- Well, unfortunately,

0:05:50 > 0:05:54the Cultural Centre isn't offering classes in Fortune Telling.

0:05:54 > 0:05:59"How to speak useful Czech." That sounds...useful.

0:05:59 > 0:06:04Now I just need my mum to sign me up. This is going to be great.

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Now breathe into your core.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Feel the air. Hold it...

0:06:12 > 0:06:16and release. THEY EXHALE

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Once again...- Excuse me... - ..breathe in...

0:06:19 > 0:06:22I thought this was Japanese sword fighting?

0:06:22 > 0:06:27- Where are the swords? - We don't get swords till week five.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Until then, it's just breathing.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32EXHALING ..Expelling...

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Hi, Bailey. What are YOU doing here?

0:06:35 > 0:06:39Miss Muffy and I are enrolled in a puff pastry seminar.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Do you know where room 312 is? I'm late for Useful Czech Language.

0:06:43 > 0:06:47Straight down the hall, on the left.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04STUDENT SPEAKS CZECH

0:07:07 > 0:07:11The cheese making course made me nauseous so I quit that, too.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13But I signed up for three more classes.

0:07:13 > 0:07:18- Do colleges want students who know how to yodel?- Beats me.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22What about volunteer work? If you're gonna do things you don't like,

0:07:22 > 0:07:26- you might as well be helping someone.- Great idea!- My dad

0:07:26 > 0:07:31- helps at a wildlife centre. I'll ask if he knows of anything.- Perfect!

0:07:31 > 0:07:35- I love animals.- Can we play some soccer now?- Can't!

0:08:17 > 0:08:21I wondered if you'd like to help paint the set of the school play?

0:08:21 > 0:08:26- You did a wonderful job last year. - Sure! That was so much fun!

0:08:26 > 0:08:31We're doing Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, with a forest as a backdrop.

0:08:31 > 0:08:37Oh, with tons of cherry blossoms and... Oh, wait...

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Would it take a lot of time?

0:08:39 > 0:08:42An hour after school, a few hours on the weekend.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45I don't think I can do it, Mr Radburn.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47I just...don't have time.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51You don't have to decide now. Why don't you think about it?

0:09:59 > 0:10:05- "Fish is to bicycle as fusilli is to 'blank'?!"- Don't worry,

0:10:19 > 0:10:23- So I quit everything.- EVERYTHING?

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Yeah. I guess I better get used to the idea of Clown College.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31Look at the bright side. You can do things you like.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35You're right. From now on, I'm living for today.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Then we must not tarry, powerful wizard,

0:10:37 > 0:10:41the three-headed dog of Doogenkirk is still out there!

0:10:41 > 0:10:46And Lord Muldyward is growing more powerful. To the castle!

0:10:46 > 0:10:51Wait... Could we go to the castle a little later?

0:10:51 > 0:10:54There's something I wanna do first.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59These trees really give the sense of wistfulness

0:10:59 > 0:11:04- that pervades The Cherry Orchard. Excellent work, Prunella.- Thanks.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Too bad painting sets won't get me into college.- Why not?

0:11:08 > 0:11:13Set design is a respected profession. Entire schools are devoted to it.

0:11:13 > 0:11:18- Not that you should worry about it now. You're in fourth grade.- Agh!

0:11:18 > 0:11:22- I'm covered in paint! - You didn't tell me this counts.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24Counts for what?

0:11:24 > 0:11:28College. Painting sets is a fascinating activity

0:11:28 > 0:11:32- that makes ME well-rounded. - No, it doesn't.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Does too!- Hi, Muffin.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39Bailey had some sort of pastry class to go to so I'm your ride home.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Daddy, tell Prunella painting is just a hobby

0:11:43 > 0:11:47and would never in a million years get you into Ivy University.

0:11:47 > 0:11:50I wouldn't know. I never went to college.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54But you have that framed diploma in your office!

0:11:54 > 0:11:59That's just an honorary degree they gave me for donating to the library.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Beautiful set!

0:12:01 > 0:12:05Well, come on, Pookums, the car's outside.

0:12:05 > 0:12:09Don't worry, Muffy, there's a zillion colleges out there.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13- I'm sure there must be at least ONE that will take you!- Huh!

0:12:13 > 0:12:16That tree could use more blossoms, George.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18And put a few clouds up there.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21But use a sponge - it's a softer effect.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25Come on, people, let's make this forest come alive!
