0:01:40 > 0:01:41Thanks, honey.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Move over!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46This is the only really cool spot in the whole house.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Are there any ice cubes left?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Things have a way of disappearing in that freezer.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56There's plenty of ice, DW.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59< Arthur! Could you help me carry something?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04There better be some of this lemonade left when I come back.

0:02:58 > 0:03:04Yes siree! Elwood City is having a blackout!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06No word yet on when it will be over,
0:03:06 > 0:03:11but Dr Jake, your weather maestro is sure it won't be long!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Can we watch the blackout on TV?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18There is no TV. A blackout means there's no electricity.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- DOG BARKS - No electricity - no TV.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23No TV? Will there be TV tomorrow?!
0:03:23 > 0:03:28There's a Mary Moo-Cow special, on the number 2, I have to watch!
0:03:28 > 0:03:31It'll probably be over by then. You heard the weatherman.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Dr Jake's predictions weren't exactly accurate with that blizzard.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I better go get some supplies.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47See, kids? Isn't this fun? A candlelit dinner!
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Cold leftover pasta, apple sauce and pretzels? That's it?!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54The store was closed so we have to have this,
0:03:54 > 0:03:59BUT we do have all that leftover strawberry ice-cream for dessert!
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Make that strawberry soup! SHE SQUEALS WITH LAUGHTER
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Anybody want it as a first course?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I'm so hot! My ears are sweating!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Can't we at least turn on a fan?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Fans are electric.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Here, we'll just open a window and get a nice breeze.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Yeah, but I have a little bit of light.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Something's glowing in my food cabinet.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56I hope this blackout ends soon. I can't sleep in this heat!
0:04:56 > 0:05:01Me neither. I tried counting sheep but imagining all that wool

0:05:36 > 0:05:39No, and here's your share of the milk.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43It's less because you took too many ice cubes yesterday.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Oh.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I thought I smelt someone frying something.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52I think our minds are playing tricks on us.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55KNOCK ON DOOR Hello? Anyone home?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Good morning, Mr Read.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03My father wanted to know if you want to come for breakfast?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05We're having arepas.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09SIZZLING
0:06:10 > 0:06:12These arepas are delicious!
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Do I taste a hint of cilantro in the aji?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Exactamente! It was my mother's recipe.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24How come this orange juice is cold?
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Because it was in our natural refrigerator. Show him, Alberto.
0:06:29 > 0:06:36When it starts to get hot, my Dad buries a metal pail in a shady spot.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41Since the temperature is lower underground, the drinks stay cooler.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45There are many blackouts in Ecuador. So you learn a few tricks!
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Oh, they're not just tricks, mi amor. You have to be prepared.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Would you like to see the basement?
0:06:55 > 0:07:02I have lots of extra batteries, but if I run out, this is very handy.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Cool!
0:07:08 > 0:07:14- What's this?- A hand-crank radio. No batteries required.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Just muscle. WHIRRING
0:07:16 > 0:07:20'Still no power, but they expect to resolve the problem very soon!
0:07:20 > 0:07:27'Till then, keep it tuned to W-E-L-P and chill out with Dr Jake.'
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Dr Jake! Some doctor(!) All his predictions are wrong!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Do you have a hand-crank TV too?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I have to watch Mary Moo-Cow!
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Sorry, DW. But it's nice to take a break from TV, don't you think?
0:07:45 > 0:07:48My catering job's been cancelled, Mum can't work,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50so let's do something together.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- OK, like what?- I'm thinking...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56We're not prepared!
0:07:56 > 0:08:00This air conditioner doesn't even have a crank on it.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03And I'm probably missing Mary Moo-Cow right now!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06DW, there are other ways to have fun!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Remember what a good time we had in the blizzard?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11That was different!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13There was snow, and snow is fun.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17She's right. Even rain would be more fun than this heat.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Rain! That's it! We all need to get wet!
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Are we both gonna fit in that?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Sure! It'll be cosy, but cool.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37I hope no-one sees me in this thing.

0:08:42 > 0:08:43- Hey, Arthur!- Ah!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I came over to see how you were doing.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50Ooh, nice-looking bath! Can I join you?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Um, OK. DW, could you move over a little?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56But Nadine's sitting here.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Well, tell her to move over.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42You have to watch out for dogfish!
0:09:42 > 0:09:47I will show you a way to cool down that doesn't need so much water.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52This is what my abuela used to do whenever she was hot. Here!
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Put your feet in.

0:09:57 > 0:10:02And, if you keep the curtains closed, the house will stay cooler.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Thanks again, Ramon. - Do you like blackouts, Mr Molina?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Cos you're really good at them!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10HE LAUGHS
0:10:10 > 0:10:14No, DW. I too, miss not having electricity.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19But, when I was growing up in Quito, my family always used blackouts
0:10:19 > 0:10:21as an excuse to have a fiesta.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24LATIN MUSIC PLAYS
0:10:24 > 0:10:30People would share their leftovers. There would be music and dancing.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33And everyone in the block would party into the night.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38So, there were some good parts to the blackouts as well.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42That's a great idea. Let's have a fiesta!
0:10:42 > 0:10:47I'd love to, DW. But I'm afraid we don't have enough food.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I could bring over the things from my food case!
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Uh, I don't think that's such a good idea.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54But what about some stuff from your garden?
