Hey! DW!

0:00:580:01:01

-Hey! Wo-oah!

-THUD AND SHATTERING

0:01:010:01:05

'Good evening, Elwood City!

0:01:050:01:09

'Well, the sun may be setting but the temperature is rising!

0:01:090:01:14

'You think this is bad? Wait till tomorrow.

0:01:140:01:17

'You'll be able to fry eggs on your driveway!

0:01:170:01:20

'So, crank up the air cons and stay tuned to Dr Jake, weather maestro,

0:01:220:01:28

for the latest on the...heat wave!

0:01:280:01:30

AIR BLOWS

0:01:300:01:32

OK, just a few more questions and we'll be done.

0:01:340:01:36

Now, Anna, I noticed you deducted your shoes on your schedule C?

0:01:360:01:40

Thanks, honey.

0:01:400:01:41

Move over!

0:01:410:01:43

This is the only really cool spot in the whole house.

0:01:430:01:46

Are there any ice cubes left?

0:01:460:01:49

Things have a way of disappearing in that freezer.

0:01:490:01:53

There's plenty of ice, DW.

0:01:530:01:56

< Arthur! Could you help me carry something?

0:01:560:01:59

There better be some of this lemonade left when I come back.

0:02:000:02:04

Trust me, Arthur.

0:02:040:02:06

ARTHUR GROANS

0:02:070:02:10

This is the biggest ham I've ever seen!

0:02:100:02:12

It's for a graduation party I'm catering, tomorrow.

0:02:120:02:17

THEY GROAN

0:02:170:02:19

Phew! It just fits. Thank goodness!

0:02:200:02:24

It needs to stay cold until tomorrow.

0:02:240:02:27

I just don't think dental floss can be counted as a business expense...

0:02:270:02:32

SHE GASPS Ed?

0:02:320:02:33

Ed? Hello?

0:02:330:02:35

WHIRRING SLOWS

0:02:360:02:38

Hey! Where'd the cold air go?

0:02:380:02:41

ELECTRICAL CRACKLES

0:02:450:02:48

-The Blackout.

-BABY CRIES

0:02:540:02:58

Yes siree! Elwood City is having a blackout!

0:02:580:03:04

No word yet on when it will be over,

0:03:040:03:06

but Dr Jake, your weather maestro is sure it won't be long!

0:03:060:03:11

Can we watch the blackout on TV?

0:03:110:03:14

There is no TV. A blackout means there's no electricity.

0:03:140:03:18

-DOG BARKS

-No electricity - no TV.

0:03:180:03:21

No TV? Will there be TV tomorrow?!

0:03:210:03:23

There's a Mary Moo-Cow special, on the number 2, I have to watch!

0:03:230:03:28

It'll probably be over by then. You heard the weatherman.

0:03:280:03:31

Dr Jake's predictions weren't exactly accurate with that blizzard.

0:03:310:03:35

I better go get some supplies.

0:03:350:03:38

See, kids? Isn't this fun? A candlelit dinner!

0:03:430:03:47

Cold leftover pasta, apple sauce and pretzels? That's it?!

0:03:470:03:52

The store was closed so we have to have this,

0:03:520:03:54

BUT we do have all that leftover strawberry ice-cream for dessert!

0:03:540:03:59

Make that strawberry soup! SHE SQUEALS WITH LAUGHTER

0:03:590:04:03

Anybody want it as a first course?

0:04:030:04:06

I'm so hot! My ears are sweating!

0:04:060:04:10

Can't we at least turn on a fan?

0:04:100:04:12

Fans are electric.

0:04:120:04:15

Here, we'll just open a window and get a nice breeze.

0:04:160:04:19

WIND WHISTLES

0:04:190:04:21

There goes the candlelit part of dinner.

0:04:220:04:25

At least it's cooler.

0:04:250:04:26

CRUNCHING

0:04:260:04:28

-HE GROANS

-Pretzels and tap water?

0:04:290:04:31

It's like we're in jail!

0:04:310:04:34

WALKIE-TALKIE BEEPS

0:04:350:04:38

Hey, Arthur? Hello?

0:04:380:04:42

Hey, Buster. Is your power out too?

0:04:420:04:45

Yeah, but I have a little bit of light.

0:04:450:04:48

Something's glowing in my food cabinet.

0:04:480:04:52

I hope this blackout ends soon. I can't sleep in this heat!

0:04:520:04:56

Me neither. I tried counting sheep but imagining all that wool

0:04:560:05:01

-made me hotter.

-WALKIE-TALKIE BEEPS

0:05:010:05:03

I think my battery's dying. Don't worry, Arthur.

0:05:030:05:06

I'll find some way to contact you tomorrow.

0:05:060:05:08

I'm a few blocks away! You don't need electricity to walk!

0:05:080:05:13

-CRACKLING

-You're fading!

0:05:130:05:15

Hang in there, buddy. We'll get through this.

0:05:150:05:18

HE SIGHS

0:05:190:05:21

SIZZLING

0:05:210:05:24

HE SNIFFS

0:05:260:05:27

Something's cooking!

0:05:270:05:31

Hey, is the blackout over?

0:05:340:05:36

No, and here's your share of the milk.

0:05:360:05:39

It's less because you took too many ice cubes yesterday.

0:05:390:05:43

Oh.

0:05:430:05:45

I thought I smelt someone frying something.

0:05:460:05:49

HE SNIFFS

0:05:490:05:50

I think our minds are playing tricks on us.

0:05:500:05:52

KNOCK ON DOOR Hello? Anyone home?

0:05:520:05:55

Good morning, Mr Read.

0:05:580:06:00

My father wanted to know if you want to come for breakfast?

0:06:000:06:03

We're having arepas.

0:06:030:06:05

SIZZLING

0:06:060:06:09

These arepas are delicious!

0:06:100:06:12

Do I taste a hint of cilantro in the aji?

0:06:120:06:14

Exactamente! It was my mother's recipe.

0:06:140:06:18

How come this orange juice is cold?

0:06:220:06:24

Because it was in our natural refrigerator. Show him, Alberto.

0:06:240:06:29

When it starts to get hot, my Dad buries a metal pail in a shady spot.

0:06:290:06:36

Since the temperature is lower underground, the drinks stay cooler.

0:06:360:06:41

There are many blackouts in Ecuador. So you learn a few tricks!

0:06:410:06:45

Oh, they're not just tricks, mi amor. You have to be prepared.

0:06:450:06:50

Would you like to see the basement?

0:06:500:06:53

I have lots of extra batteries, but if I run out, this is very handy.

0:06:550:07:02

Cool!

0:07:050:07:07

-What's this?

-A hand-crank radio. No batteries required.

0:07:080:07:14

Just muscle. WHIRRING

0:07:140:07:16

'Still no power, but they expect to resolve the problem very soon!

0:07:160:07:20

'Till then, keep it tuned to W-E-L-P and chill out with Dr Jake.'

0:07:200:07:27

Dr Jake! Some doctor(!) All his predictions are wrong!

0:07:270:07:32

Do you have a hand-crank TV too?

0:07:320:07:35

I have to watch Mary Moo-Cow!

0:07:350:07:37

Sorry, DW. But it's nice to take a break from TV, don't you think?

0:07:370:07:42

My catering job's been cancelled, Mum can't work,

0:07:450:07:48

so let's do something together.

0:07:480:07:50

-OK, like what?

-I'm thinking...

0:07:500:07:53

We're not prepared!

0:07:530:07:56

This air conditioner doesn't even have a crank on it.

0:07:560:08:00

And I'm probably missing Mary Moo-Cow right now!

0:08:000:08:03

DW, there are other ways to have fun!

0:08:030:08:06

Remember what a good time we had in the blizzard?

0:08:060:08:08

That was different!

0:08:090:08:11

There was snow, and snow is fun.

0:08:110:08:13

She's right. Even rain would be more fun than this heat.

0:08:130:08:17

Rain! That's it! We all need to get wet!

0:08:180:08:22

Are we both gonna fit in that?

0:08:250:08:26

Sure! It'll be cosy, but cool.

0:08:260:08:30

I hope no-one sees me in this thing.

0:08:330:08:37

THEY SIGH

0:08:390:08:40

-Hey, Arthur!

-Ah!

0:08:420:08:43

I came over to see how you were doing.

0:08:430:08:45

Ooh, nice-looking bath! Can I join you?

0:08:450:08:50

Um, OK. DW, could you move over a little?

0:08:500:08:54

But Nadine's sitting here.

0:08:540:08:56

Well, tell her to move over.

0:08:560:08:59

HE SIGHS

0:09:000:09:01

This is great. I can almost imagine I'm at the beach.

0:09:010:09:05

Aah! I feel an octopus!

0:09:090:09:12

That's just my foot!

0:09:120:09:13

DOG BARKS

0:09:130:09:15

Come on, boy. You can come in too.

0:09:160:09:19

Why don't you just invite the whole neighbourhood?

0:09:190:09:23

DOG BARKS

0:09:250:09:26

Pal! Stop that!

0:09:260:09:27

HE GROWLS

POP AND HISSING

0:09:310:09:32

Hey! What's happening? We're sinking!

0:09:320:09:35

Abandon ship!

LAUGHTER

0:09:360:09:39

You have to watch out for dogfish!

0:09:390:09:42

I will show you a way to cool down that doesn't need so much water.

0:09:420:09:47

This is what my abuela used to do whenever she was hot. Here!

0:09:470:09:52

Put your feet in.

0:09:520:09:54

THEY SIGH

0:09:550:09:57

And, if you keep the curtains closed, the house will stay cooler.

0:09:570:10:02

-Thanks again, Ramon.

-Do you like blackouts, Mr Molina?

0:10:020:10:06

Cos you're really good at them!

0:10:060:10:08

HE LAUGHS

0:10:080:10:10

No, DW. I too, miss not having electricity.

0:10:100:10:14

But, when I was growing up in Quito, my family always used blackouts

0:10:140:10:19

as an excuse to have a fiesta.

0:10:190:10:21

LATIN MUSIC PLAYS

0:10:210:10:24

People would share their leftovers. There would be music and dancing.

0:10:240:10:30

And everyone in the block would party into the night.

0:10:300:10:33

So, there were some good parts to the blackouts as well.

0:10:330:10:38

That's a great idea. Let's have a fiesta!

0:10:380:10:42

I'd love to, DW. But I'm afraid we don't have enough food.

0:10:420:10:47

I could bring over the things from my food case!

0:10:470:10:49

Uh, I don't think that's such a good idea.

0:10:490:10:52

But what about some stuff from your garden?

0:10:520:10:54

CLICKS FINGERS

0:10:540:10:56

And I have the perfect main course!

0:10:560:10:58

0:11:200:11:22

Here, Mr Molina. Some more organic tomatoes!

0:11:220:11:27

Perfecto! David, you start working on the salsa.

0:11:270:11:31

I'm going to get some lamps.

0:11:310:11:34

It's all in the wrist. Like this.

0:11:360:11:39

Excellente! Now try it out!

0:11:410:11:44

Five cents, please.

0:11:470:11:48

It's good to have a lot of change at these blackout fiestas!

0:12:030:12:06

Well, at least you'll be able to watch Mary Moo-Cow again.

0:12:060:12:10

Yeah, but I'd rather have a fiesta.

0:12:100:12:14

Hmm, don't worry. I am prepared for this emergency as well.

0:12:140:12:19

-Now, we can party all night!

-Woo!
