Brain Gets Hooked Arthur

# Every day when you're walkin' 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 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

# 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! Ow!

One thing that really bugs me

is when people get so obsessed by something that...

Oh, hold on.

Anyway, they get so obsessed that they just can't stop!

Like when Buster thought that if he didn't listen to every Greaves game

-they would start losing again.

-Yes!

'A great slam by Clayman and the Greaves are up by one.'

Then there was the time that Dad and Mr Molina got into a competition

over who had the best Christmas decorations.

This year, David, I am putting you to shame!

Think again, Ramone!

POWERING DOWN

I mean, really, why is it so hard for people to realise

when they should just stop?

< Arthur, dinner!

Coming, Mom!

Just one more.

Mom, it's time for my chess tournament.

Alan, it doesn't start for another hour, we have plenty of time.

But I have to get there early, it helps my concentration.

Sorry, honey, you'll have to wait a little bit

while I finish up the bills.

'It's a clue to the password - get pi to eight places.

'What is that? Some kind of a dessert code?'

3.14159265

'Not pie like cherry pie, pi the mathematical constant

'to eight decimal places.

'3.14159265'

These shows are so predictable.

-'ALARM SOUNDS'

-'Run!'

'Ah, we made it!'

'ROARING'

'A walrus in the jungle?'

'30 kids, a mysterious island, will they escape?'

I'm ready, Alan, let's hit that chess tournament.

I'll be right there,

I just want to watch this absurd show for a few more minutes.

How was your chess tournament yesterday?

It was OK, I won. I saw this inane TV show yesterday.

These kids get marooned on an island

when their ship crashes on the way to summer camp.

-Ah-huh.

-They're supposed to be in seventh grade,

but they survive by hunting antelope with bows and arrows.

As if a seventh grader could ever do that!

And the island has a laboratory on it built by a mad scientist

who's discovered how to create new animals. Like a jungle walrus.

Sounds cool!

How could one guy on an island

achieve such an important breakthrough?

It's impossible!

Maybe he's from a very advanced alien civilisation.

And then there's this girl Devin,

she develops the ability to talk to animals!

And she's stronger than half the boys!

What's so unrealistic about a girl being stronger than boys?

Well, OK, I guess that part IS plausible.

For a silly show, you sure are talking about it a lot.

Quiet, please.

For our history unit on the Middle Ages

each of you will be assigned to present an oral report

by the end of the week.

If any of you have ideas for topics...

Swords and armour!

Very well, Binky, swords and armour.

Alan, how about you?

Huh? Oh, uh... The Magna Carta.

Ah, one of the most important documents in medieval history.

The Magna Carta was an English charter issued in 1215

that was of great significance because...

'Guys, we have to find a way off this island!'

'One of us has to sail the lifeboat out past the breakers and get help.

'It's our only way!'

'It's too risky, Trent.

'But if we can just get some batteries from the lab

'then I can programme the ship's transmitter

'to send a distress signal.'

'Wake up, computer nerd.

'It's time for somebody to take action.'

Devin should pay more attention to Byron.

'Stay tuned,

'as our back-to-back marathon of Junior Island continues.'

'We're trapped in this mad scientist's creepy zoo,

'what should we do, Trent?'

'Nothing we can do, Devin, but wait and hope that someone finds us.'

Just use the code, it's pi! You learned it in episode six!

This wouldn't be happening if Byron was there.

DOORBELL RINGS

We're going riding in the park, wanna come?

No, I've gotta work on my report.

We thought you were done. You were watching TV...

No, I wasn't, I was working...

Brain, we heard the TV on.

Maybe it was in another house.

OK...well, see you at school, I guess.

HE WHISTLES

Hey! I know that theme song.

Are you into Junior Island?

That depends what you mean by into.

I was crazy about that show. I've seen every episode.

You have to be careful, though, it's kind of addictive.

So, do they get off the island?

You just have to watch and find out,

but don't watch too many at once, it can make you...

Make me what?

OK, time for our oral reports.

Who would like to get us started?

Oh! Me first!

Well, Binky, this is a welcome surprise, please, go ahead.

In early medieval times,

knights used swords and their armour was a shirt

with metal rings called chain mail.

Eventually, they made armour out of steel plates

that could cover every part of the knight's body.

The end.

Excellent report, Binky.

I can't imagine how anyone could top that!

Alan, want to give it a try?

-<

-Alan?

What?! Oh, sure.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

In 1215, the most powerful barons of England

forced King John to meet them at Runnymede Meadow

and sign the agreement later known as the Magna Carta.

It was...

That's it!

They could build a giant longbow that would launch them off the island!

Excuse me, Alan?

Oh, it's this TV show I... Never mind.

The Magna Carta was a legal document that limited the power of the king.

That's all?

Uh, yes.

Very well, who's next?

Don't forget to pick up your oral report grades on your way out.

Mr Ratburn, this is a C, there must be some mistake!

That's what I felt your report deserved.

Although I must confess, I was a little surprised as well.

But this could ruin my grade-point average!

If you can re-do your report by Thursday, I'll reconsider the C.

Like I said, never watch more than one a day

and stay away from the DVD box set.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Wait! You can get the episodes on DVD?

Is this it, Alan?

Just this DVD?

You usually leave with a stack of books.

Oh, um... I'll take this as well.

Adventures In Macrame? You certainly do have eclectic tastes.

You guys, wait up!

Hey, Brain, glad you decided to come out.

I just need a favour.

I need you to hold this key for me, until tomorrow,

no matter what I do or say,

don't give it back to me!

Uh, OK, but maybe Arthur should take it, I lose keys all the time.

Even better. You take it!

The Magna Carta was... Contrary to popular belief, the Magna Carta...

As every schoolchild knows, the Magna Carta... Ugh!

It's no use!

I have to know if they get off the island!

Forget what I said before, I was crazy,

I didn't know what I was saying!

You've got to give me the key!

Are you sure?

You seemed a lot less crazy before than you do now.

Look! A jungle walrus!

Where? That? That's just...

Hey!

No-ooooo!

TRIUMPHANT MUSIC

-'Look! Byron has come to save us!'

-DOORBELL RINGS

'Took you long enough, egghead!'

Brain? It's me, Fern. Are you there?

I'm coming in, OK?

They could dig a tunnel.

No! The water pressure would cause it to collapse.

It's worse than I thought.

Get a grip on yourself!

Fern! Turn it back on!

Didn't I tell you to watch one a day, or less?

But how are they gonna get off? We just can't leave them there!

Brain, it's just a TV show.

It's not real!

Here, THIS is real.

Do you know what we're gonna do now?

We're going to write my oral report.

What on earth happened here?

Sorry, I'll clean this up when we're done.

So, to sum up, the Magna Carta was a lot more

than an early legal document.

It meant that from that point on, even the king had to obey the law.

Good job, Alan.

Don't forget your biology projects for tomorrow.

You're not gonna just run home

and watch six episodes of Junior Island, are you?

Trust me, I'll stick to the limits.

After I finish my homework, I'm just gonna watch one.

OK.

So, which one are you gonna watch?

'Two years on this island

'and there was a land bridge here all this time?'

'I told you we should've checked the other side of the island!

'Why doesn't anyone ever listen to me?'

'Give it a rest, Einstein, we've got a long walk home.'

That's it?! That's how they get off?!

PHONE RINGS

Well, pretty amazing, huh?

Pretty ridiculous, it doesn't make any sense.

Well, it might in the next season.

I hear that they get shipwrecked again...

You know what? I think I finally kicked the habit.

Goodnight, Fern, thanks for all your help.

And goodnight Junior Island.
