0:00:48 > 0:00:53# If you can learn to work and play And get along with each other

0:00:53 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hey, DW!

0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Hey!- Whoa...

0:01:08 > 0:01:10ANNOUNCER: 'It's the Elwood City Grebes, three,

0:01:10 > 0:01:14'the Crown City Kings, zero!'

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Lefty only needs one more out to pitch a perfect game!

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Muffy, get up!

0:01:20 > 0:01:23To see what? Nothing's happening!

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Do you know how rare a perfect game is?

0:01:26 > 0:01:29That means not a single batter reaches base!

0:01:29 > 0:01:33Exactly! Yaw-w-n. How boring!

0:01:36 > 0:01:38- CROWD CHEERS - Strike one!

0:01:38 > 0:01:43There's only been 17 of them in over a century of Major League Baseball!

0:01:43 > 0:01:45It's a once-in-a-lifetime event!

0:01:45 > 0:01:48- CHEERING - Strike two!

0:01:48 > 0:01:52Come on, Lefty! Just one more strike to go!

0:02:00 > 0:02:02Nooo!

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Finally, something happened!

0:02:08 > 0:02:11I can't believe it. We were THIS close!

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Look on the bright side. At least the Grebes won!

0:02:14 > 0:02:16How often does THAT happen?!

0:02:16 > 0:02:18I had the best hot dog ever!

0:02:18 > 0:02:19HE BURPS

0:02:19 > 0:02:21It still tastes good!

0:02:21 > 0:02:24And I got this Grebes jersey for half off!

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Yep. It was a great day.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Don't you guys get it?

0:02:29 > 0:02:31That game could've been perfect!

0:02:31 > 0:02:32What went wrong?

0:02:32 > 0:02:37Why did Lefty give up that hit? Why?

0:02:41 > 0:02:42THEY GASP

0:02:42 > 0:02:43CLUCKING

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Behold, the bustling northern capital,

0:02:48 > 0:02:49better known as Beijing.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51And it was defended by...

0:02:51 > 0:02:54the Great Wall of China.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56That's Istanbul, right?

0:02:56 > 0:02:57Correct, Arthur.

0:02:57 > 0:03:02And finally, the Colosseum in Rome.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Home to massive sporting events almost 2,000 years ago.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Now, would anyone like to guess

0:03:07 > 0:03:09why I showed you all these slides of cities?

0:03:09 > 0:03:12We're going on a class trip?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Is it Rome, China?

0:03:14 > 0:03:18Alas, no. It's inspiration for your next assignment.

0:03:18 > 0:03:23Each of you will team up with a partner and create your own city.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30I was thinking the buses in our city could be hot air balloons.

0:03:30 > 0:03:35They could be powered by windmills placed at each stop.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37WHISTLE BLOWS

0:03:41 > 0:03:45The only cars allowed would be ambulances and fire trucks.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Everyone else would roll everywhere by human power,

0:03:49 > 0:03:51There would be so many bikes and scooters

0:03:51 > 0:03:53that no-one would have to buy them, and...

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Hey, are you listening?!

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Huh? Oh, yeah. Sounds great.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00But you know what we really need? A stadium!

0:04:00 > 0:04:02One stadium.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06But not just any old stadium - it'll be huge, and...

0:04:06 > 0:04:07It can't be too huge!

0:04:07 > 0:04:11Mr Ratburn said we have to build a model of this city, remember?

0:04:11 > 0:04:12Think about it.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15If the Grebes had had a better stadium,

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Lefty would've pitched a perfect game!

0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Did you see how short the fence is? - I kinda like the Grebes' stadium.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Well, this one'll be even better.- OK.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Let's divide this list up and get started. We only have a week.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31I know what we could call it, too. Frenway Park.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33- You forgot your list!- Oh, yeah...

0:04:53 > 0:05:01Did you know that the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City has 114,465 seats?

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Do you think Frenway Park should have that many?

0:05:04 > 0:05:09I think the master builder should get some sleep. It's past bedtime!

0:05:09 > 0:05:13What should the seats be made of? They have to be comfy. Feathers?

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Nah, they'll get soggy when it rains.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19- I'll start researching seats tomorrow.- More research?!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Isn't this project due soon?

0:05:21 > 0:05:26Dad, we're not just talking about any old stadium!

0:05:26 > 0:05:30This is...Frenway Park... Yaw-wn.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33I could go down in history for this.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45Tell us about Frenway Park, your new, perfect stadium!

0:05:45 > 0:05:49First, there's a super-high wall in left field.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51No-one will be hitting a home run off Lefty here!

0:05:51 > 0:05:53THEY SHIVER

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Next, I put a speaker on top of the right field foul pole.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00When Lefty pitches, the batter being called to the plate should feel awe.

0:06:00 > 0:06:05- ANNOUNCER:- 'The great, unbeatable Lefty is approaching the mound,

0:06:05 > 0:06:08'ready to pitch a perfect game!'

0:06:08 > 0:06:10CROWD CHEERS

0:06:14 > 0:06:19Francine, what are you doing? It's 5.30 in the morning!

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Wear this! I've got to work.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28This is the park, which is also a community garden.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Cool!- I thought the stadium could go next to it.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33That's not nearly enough room!

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Are you sure? Let's see the model.

0:06:36 > 0:06:40Uh... Well... I'm still kind of working on the designs.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Designs?! I thought you'd be done by now!

0:06:43 > 0:06:47I just need the right materials. Then construction will be under way.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- What about the other things on your list?- Arthur,

0:06:51 > 0:06:53the stadium's the most important part!

0:06:53 > 0:06:56The school and the hospital can wait.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00This is exactly what I need for my stadium!

0:07:00 > 0:07:03But where will I put my hat for the strawberry parade?

0:07:03 > 0:07:06You only wear that hat once a year...

0:07:06 > 0:07:10I know! That's why it has to go someplace safe.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Please, Muffy!

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Oh, all right, take it.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16I don't know why this stadium is so important.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19I could understand if it were a mall...

0:07:19 > 0:07:22- How's YOUR city coming along? - Almost done.

0:07:22 > 0:07:27I thought of everything, and George is building everything!

0:07:27 > 0:07:29George, where are you?

0:07:29 > 0:07:34Sorry, Muffy, I was off in sector four, working on the plumbing.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37You built all that in five days?!

0:07:37 > 0:07:41Gulp! I think I'd better get to work.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45"For years, the dome at Hagia Sofia in Istanbul

0:07:45 > 0:07:49"was the largest in the world." Why didn't I think of a dome?

0:07:49 > 0:07:52I'll have to redesign the whole thing! Ohh...

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Maybe you should start building.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57If you want something to be great, you can't cut corners.

0:07:57 > 0:08:02- I have to instant message Adil in Istanbul.- Good idea(!)

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Ask him if he's having a nice dream.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- It's the middle of the night there! - Ohh!

0:08:15 > 0:08:18There. Finished.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Now onto the rest of the stadium.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24- You still haven't started?! - Yes, I have!

0:08:24 > 0:08:26See, the entrance is done!

0:08:26 > 0:08:29It's great, but you've still got a lot to do!

0:08:29 > 0:08:33I know, that's why I called you here. You make the parking lot.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Stop! You're doing it wrong! - I barely cut it!

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Maybe you should do the other items on my list, like the clock tower.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43And make sure it's lofty!

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Hey! That looks pretty good.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53No... It's not coming out like I imagined.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58It doesn't have to be perfect. You should go to bed.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03CROWD CHEERS

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Francine, this stadium's great... for the pitcher.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20But it's not gonna be so great when we're batting.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22We'll never hit a home run over that wall!

0:09:22 > 0:09:25You're right! Why didn't I think of that?

0:09:25 > 0:09:29Well, maybe someone can hit a home run with that bat...

0:09:29 > 0:09:32ANNOUNCER: 'Now batting, number seven,

0:09:32 > 0:09:36'Henry Confab!'

0:09:36 > 0:09:37RUMBLING

0:09:37 > 0:09:40Is there any way they can adjust the sound system?

0:09:40 > 0:09:45Oh! Why didn't I build a dome?

0:09:47 > 0:09:48GASP!

0:09:51 > 0:09:54It's got holes in it, but it'll have to do.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06I'll just stretch the sides a little and make it fit.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10GASP!

0:10:12 > 0:10:15What happened? It looked great when I left yesterday!

0:10:15 > 0:10:18But it needed a dome. It wasn't perfect!

0:10:18 > 0:10:21What's the point, if it's just ordinary?

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Maybe we can fix it.

0:10:23 > 0:10:28No, it's a perfect disaster. I've ruined everything.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Maybe it won't be exactly what you had in mind,

0:10:31 > 0:10:33but we're not ruined.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Hmm, ruins...

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Remember, we're looking for old and broken.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46- How's this?- Great! The worse condition, the better.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Note the radial design, where the streets and walkways

0:10:55 > 0:10:57all run from the centre of the city!

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Mmm... Sausage!

0:11:04 > 0:11:06And our trolley cars are edible!

0:11:06 > 0:11:11Admission to Crossfire City is only 5 per person.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13ALL: Wow...!

0:11:16 > 0:11:22And this is the community garden, where you can get free vegetables.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Now Francine is going to present the old city,

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- within the city!- With ruins!

0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Here's the old clock tower...- Wow!

0:11:33 > 0:11:38And here's the Frenskium. It's the ruins of an ancient stadium!

0:11:38 > 0:11:42I love how your city combines the future and the past!

0:11:42 > 0:11:46And what a superb idea to use the Colosseum for inspiration.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48A perfect touch!

0:11:53 > 0:11:57This is awful, Lefty's getting crushed,

0:11:57 > 0:11:58and I don't have enough mustard!

0:11:58 > 0:12:01What do you mean? This game's a blast!

0:12:01 > 0:12:03How many home runs have we seen?

0:12:03 > 0:12:06You don't mind that Lefty's not pitching a perfect game?

0:12:06 > 0:12:08I'll see one someday.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Yoo-hoo, over here!

0:12:10 > 0:12:11We need more peanuts!

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Oh, you can never get those vendors when you need them.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19Wait a minute... That's what this stadium needs!

0:12:19 > 0:12:23A light that flashes over your seat when you need something.

0:12:23 > 0:12:27- Ohh...- The buttons could be on the arm rests! It'll be perfect!

0:12:32 > 0:12:36# Every day when you're walking down the street

0:12:36 > 0:12:38# And everybody that you meet

0:12:38 > 0:12:42# Has an original point of view

0:12:42 > 0:12:45- # And I say, hey!- Hey! - What a wonderful kind of day... #
