0:00:59 > 0:01:00Hey, DW!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- HEY...- Woh...! Ooh!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15This better not be one of your wild goose chases!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Francine Frensky, prizewinning reporter,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21is here with colleague, Muffy Crosswire
0:01:21 > 0:01:23on the trail of...the truth.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28I see a lawnmower...a snow-shovel...a couple of bikes...
0:01:28 > 0:01:32..and I have information concerning the President.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- ..and a talking rake? - BEHIND the rake, simpletons!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39I'm putting myself in great peril, coming to you.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Is THAT why you're disguising your voice?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44No, it's just a sore throat.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Now listen carefully...
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Check the files at Lakewood Elementary.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Who cares what President Powers did in sixth grade?
0:01:54 > 0:01:58The shocking deed happened in...
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- kindergarten! - SHE COUGHS
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Do either of your have a lozenge?!
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Great news, Mr President!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Your reputation as the smartest President since Jefferson
0:02:12 > 0:02:13is entirely secure.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16But SHE's out there!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18The one person who knows my secret!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21And if the Press ever gets hold of it...
0:02:21 > 0:02:25...Ohhh! We could bring down the presidency!
0:02:25 > 0:02:26This proves it!
0:02:26 > 0:02:32President Alan Powers, aka The Brain, is NOT what he seems!
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- BARKING - Hey!
0:02:39 > 0:02:42HUMMING
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh! Hello, Alan.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Why are YOU here after school?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I was getting some things for the chess club.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Mrs Robertson's retiring?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Yes, after 30 years of teaching kindergarten.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I thought she'd like a display of photos from every year she taught.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01WHAT?!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Where did you get those photos?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07From my private collection.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10You never know who might become President one day.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Ahem...yes. Very interesting.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Speaking of which...I'm told you do shadow puppets.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I have trouble making a rabbit wearing a top hat.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Let's see... These fingers make the ears, of course.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27For the hat... no, that's more of a Homburg...ah...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Just a little bit closer...
0:03:30 > 0:03:33..top hat going round, except...
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Alan! You're still here.- But...
0:03:35 > 0:03:39I have sketches to show you of hat stands made in the 19th century
0:03:39 > 0:03:41by the famous Oscar Houlindrope.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- You're the only one who'll find them as fascinating as I do.- Oh...!
0:03:48 > 0:03:51There just HAS to be a way to get into that display case
0:03:51 > 0:03:53before SCHOOL tomorrow.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Why? What's the big deal?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58What's the big deal?!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I'm in TWO kindergarten photos.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I should be in YOUR 4th-grade class.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08But you were held back. I know. Remember?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I've been keeping your secret.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12And you'll KEEP keeping it, right?
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Cos if my friends found out why I flunked kindergarten...
0:04:16 > 0:04:19They're your friends! THEY won't care. Besides,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21kindergarten's history.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Who doesn't care about history?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26If I told you King Tut had failed scribe school,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28YOU'd care, all right.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32I HAVE to get that photo, no matter what!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Of course! It's so simple!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42A tunnelling machine!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45MACHINE THUNDERS AND CREAKS
0:04:48 > 0:04:52According to my calculations, I am now underneath the display case.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54All I have to do is DRILL up...
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Oop...
0:05:00 > 0:05:01CROCKERY RATTLES
0:05:01 > 0:05:02CRASH
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Sorry!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09OK. Bad idea.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Maybe I just need to close my eyes for a few minutes.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14HE YAWNS
0:05:17 > 0:05:18BIRD CHIRPS
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Aah! It's 9 o'clock!
0:05:25 > 0:05:26OK, don't panic...
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Class is out for recess,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31so perhaps no-one's had time to...
0:05:31 > 0:05:32HE GASPS
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Hey, look! In the kindergarten class before ours!
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Is that...Brain?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Brain would only be in two photos in a row if...
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Hi! Did you hear what's for lunch?
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Tacos! Mmm... Who's up for a game of kickball?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Why did you go to kindergarten TWICE?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I didn't... I mean, well...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Brain, did you FLUNK kindergarten?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Brain wasn't smart enough to pass kindergarten first time.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58What's the big deal?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Us flunkers need to stick together.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Ow!
0:06:01 > 0:06:06It's actually "We flunkers", not "Us flunkers".
0:06:06 > 0:06:08And of COURSE I was smart enough.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I was actually held back because...
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- HE GULPS - ..well, because I'm a genius.- Brain!
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Geniuses don't flunk! - On the contrary...
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Geniuses get bored easily in school, so they often do poorly....
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Edison, Einstein... The list is endless.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Well, that's good enough for me. And it's good enough for you too...
0:06:31 > 0:06:32..right?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35ALL AGREE Makes perfect sense!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Phew! Thanks for the support.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Don't mention it.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Maybe at lunch you could give me one of your ta...cos?
0:06:43 > 0:06:44What's wrong?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48You said being held back is a sign of...genius.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Yeah?- I was held back! Last year!
0:06:50 > 0:06:54And you said geniuses were bored at school!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Well, I'm...Mr Bored!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Well... OK, but...- I'm a genius!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Unless you're just making up that "genius" excuse?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Unless there's some OTHER reason you were held back?
0:07:07 > 0:07:13O-Of course not. O-OK, gotta go. I have some...chess moves to study.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Hey, I'll go with you.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Us geniuses need to stick together.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20that's..."WE geniuses".
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Yeah. Yeah, remind me how many spaces that little horsie moves?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Geniuses play lots of chess, right?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29HORSE WHINNIES
0:07:32 > 0:07:33And...slam!
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Your king's outta there. Woo-hoo, baby! I win again!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Yes... Congratulations.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I've never seen the leaping Ninja pawn head-chop used so...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46effectively.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- That's cos I just made it up. - BELL RINGS
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Pretty geniusy, huh?
0:07:50 > 0:07:55If I'm a genius, maybe I should have a cool nickname, something like..
0:07:55 > 0:07:58..."The Brain"!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01"The Brain" is already taken... by me, remember?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03What about "The Whizz Kid"?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Nah... I like "The Brain". It sounds smart.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10We'll find somethin' else for YOU.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Ohh...
0:08:11 > 0:08:13HORSE WHINNIES
0:08:13 > 0:08:17You want everyone to call you "The Oesophagus"?
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Of course not!
0:08:18 > 0:08:22but Binky... I mean, "The Brain"...
0:08:22 > 0:08:26saw the word in my Anatomy book and thought it was perfect.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I wish you'd just tell the real reason you were held back!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32They're going to find out sooner or later.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34You haven't told anyone, have you?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I saw you talking with Muffy.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Were you talking about me?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42You're getting paranoid, Oesophagus.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Paranoid? I'm not paranoid...!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Don't trust her! Never tell your secret!
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Yeah! Us voices in your head are the ones you SHOULD listen to!
0:08:53 > 0:08:54It's..."We" voices.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- You, sir?- You're the one who was held back!
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Another D-minus for you, Mr Barnes.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Didn't you study for the test?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Tests-mest! What's it matter if I pass or not?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09You might get held back, again!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12So? If a genius can get held back once,
0:09:12 > 0:09:16just IMAGINE how much a genius I'll be if I get held back
0:09:16 > 0:09:18TWO years in a row!
0:09:19 > 0:09:23You're in the presence of ultra super de-luxe genius.
0:09:23 > 0:09:2732 times I've been held back, and I owe it all
0:09:27 > 0:09:29to my good friend, The Oesophagus.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36If you let Binky continue to think he's a genius,
0:09:36 > 0:09:38he may NEVER graduate.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Yeah! You better show him it isn't ALL fun and games.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Hey, Brain! Wanna come over after school?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I suppose you want a rematch in Ninja chess?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52I was thinking of something a LITTLE more challenging.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Why do I need genius lessons?
0:09:54 > 0:09:58It takes more than being held back a year to be a genius.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02As Thomas Edison said, "Genius is 1% inspiration...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05"and 99% perspiration."
0:10:05 > 0:10:08What's "perspiration"?
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Sweat.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- HE SNIFFS - Oh, I'm a genius, all right!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Then you won't mind some brain teasers?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18ROCK MUSIC
0:10:32 > 0:10:34HE LAUGHS
0:10:37 > 0:10:41So, did you get 3.906 as your answer?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44No, but I spelled, "Hello" upside down!
0:10:44 > 0:10:48I don't know, Oesophagus, maybe I'm not a genius after all.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53I don't really like all this hard work, and...I'm starting to smell.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57I'll say! When was the last time you changed your clothes?
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Last week. You said Einstein always wore the same suit
0:11:01 > 0:11:05so he could focus on physics, so I did the same thing.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I said, he wore the "identical" suit.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10But he had a closet FULL of them.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Well, this is a little improvement on Einstein, isn't it?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17There are other good reasons for being held back a year.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Like what?- Like...
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Like...
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Like she's telling everyone my secret!
0:11:24 > 0:11:29..and then, she changed into a wolf so Mouldy-Wart wouldn't find her,
0:11:29 > 0:11:30- and...- Stop!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Don't believe her! I'm NOT a cryer!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- A what?- A cryer.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Someone held back cos he wasn't emotionally ready!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40That's what she said, right?
0:11:40 > 0:11:44She was talking about the latest Henry Screever book.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- HE GASPS - Excuse me a moment.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Now EVERYONE knows.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53You were held back cos you cried a lot?
0:11:53 > 0:11:54Not because you were a genius?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Yes... Isn't it awful?
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I STILL cry sometimes,
0:11:59 > 0:12:01and being held back isn't the end of the world!
0:12:01 > 0:12:04It's true! Getting held back actually helped me.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Within a year, my nickname was "The Brain".
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Oh, now it's "The Oesophagus",
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- but...- Nah... You can have "The Brain" back!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'm happy with Binky.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Great. You're comin' to MY house. Not more brain teasers?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21No, just some good old-fashioned studying.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23You're gonna pass that test.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25When I go to 4th grade next year,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27you're coming with me!
