# Every day when you're walking down the street

0:00:020:00:04

# And everybody that you meet

0:00:040:00:06

# Has an original point of view

0:00:060:00:11

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

0:00:110:00:13

# What a wonderful kind of day If you can learn to work and play

0:00:130:00:18

# And get along with each other

0:00:180:00:20

# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat

0:00:200:00:24

# Listen to the rhythm of the street Open your eyes! Open your ears!

0:00:240:00:30

# Get together, make things better By working together

0:00:300:00:34

# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart

0:00:340:00:38

# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

0:00:380:00:43

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

0:00:430:00:48

# If you can learn to work and play And get along with each other

0:00:480:00:53

# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #

0:00:530:00:59

Hey, DW!

0:00:590:01:01

-Hey!

-Whoa...

0:01:020:01:04

ANNOUNCER: 'It's the Elwood City Grebes, three,

0:01:080:01:10

'the Crown City Kings, zero!'

0:01:100:01:14

Lefty only needs one more out to pitch a perfect game!

0:01:140:01:18

Muffy, get up!

0:01:180:01:20

To see what? Nothing's happening!

0:01:200:01:23

Do you know how rare a perfect game is?

0:01:230:01:26

That means not a single batter reaches base!

0:01:260:01:29

Exactly! Yaw-w-n. How boring!

0:01:290:01:33

-CROWD CHEERS

-Strike one!

0:01:360:01:38

There's only been 17 of them in over a century of Major League Baseball!

0:01:380:01:43

It's a once-in-a-lifetime event!

0:01:430:01:45

-CHEERING

-Strike two!

0:01:450:01:48

Come on, Lefty! Just one more strike to go!

0:01:480:01:52

Nooo!

0:02:000:02:02

Finally, something happened!

0:02:020:02:05

I can't believe it. We were THIS close!

0:02:080:02:11

Look on the bright side. At least the Grebes won!

0:02:110:02:14

How often does THAT happen?!

0:02:140:02:16

I had the best hot dog ever!

0:02:160:02:18

HE BURPS

0:02:180:02:19

It still tastes good!

0:02:190:02:21

And I got this Grebes jersey for half off!

0:02:210:02:24

Yep. It was a great day.

0:02:240:02:27

Don't you guys get it?

0:02:270:02:29

That game could've been perfect!

0:02:290:02:31

What went wrong?

0:02:310:02:32

Why did Lefty give up that hit? Why?

0:02:320:02:37

THEY GASP

0:02:410:02:42

CLUCKING

0:02:420:02:43

Behold, the bustling northern capital,

0:02:450:02:48

better known as Beijing.

0:02:480:02:49

And it was defended by...

0:02:490:02:51

the Great Wall of China.

0:02:510:02:54

That's Istanbul, right?

0:02:540:02:56

Correct, Arthur.

0:02:560:02:57

And finally, the Colosseum in Rome.

0:02:570:03:02

Home to massive sporting events almost 2,000 years ago.

0:03:020:03:05

Now, would anyone like to guess

0:03:050:03:07

why I showed you all these slides of cities?

0:03:070:03:09

We're going on a class trip?

0:03:090:03:12

Is it Rome, China?

0:03:120:03:14

Alas, no. It's inspiration for your next assignment.

0:03:140:03:18

Each of you will team up with a partner and create your own city.

0:03:180:03:23

I was thinking the buses in our city could be hot air balloons.

0:03:260:03:30

They could be powered by windmills placed at each stop.

0:03:300:03:35

WHISTLE BLOWS

0:03:350:03:37

The only cars allowed would be ambulances and fire trucks.

0:03:410:03:45

Everyone else would roll everywhere by human power,

0:03:450:03:49

There would be so many bikes and scooters

0:03:490:03:51

that no-one would have to buy them, and...

0:03:510:03:53

Hey, are you listening?!

0:03:530:03:55

Huh? Oh, yeah. Sounds great.

0:03:550:03:58

But you know what we really need? A stadium!

0:03:580:04:00

One stadium.

0:04:000:04:02

But not just any old stadium - it'll be huge, and...

0:04:020:04:06

It can't be too huge!

0:04:060:04:07

Mr Ratburn said we have to build a model of this city, remember?

0:04:070:04:11

Think about it.

0:04:110:04:12

If the Grebes had had a better stadium,

0:04:120:04:15

Lefty would've pitched a perfect game!

0:04:150:04:17

-Did you see how short the fence is?

-I kinda like the Grebes' stadium.

0:04:170:04:21

-Well, this one'll be even better.

-OK.

0:04:210:04:24

Let's divide this list up and get started. We only have a week.

0:04:240:04:28

I know what we could call it, too. Frenway Park.

0:04:280:04:31

-You forgot your list!

-Oh, yeah...

0:04:310:04:33

Did you know that the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City has 114,465 seats?

0:04:530:05:01

Do you think Frenway Park should have that many?

0:05:010:05:04

I think the master builder should get some sleep. It's past bedtime!

0:05:040:05:09

What should the seats be made of? They have to be comfy. Feathers?

0:05:090:05:13

Nah, they'll get soggy when it rains.

0:05:130:05:16

-I'll start researching seats tomorrow.

-More research?!

0:05:160:05:19

Isn't this project due soon?

0:05:190:05:21

Dad, we're not just talking about any old stadium!

0:05:210:05:26

This is...Frenway Park... Yaw-wn.

0:05:260:05:30

I could go down in history for this.

0:05:300:05:33

Tell us about Frenway Park, your new, perfect stadium!

0:05:410:05:45

First, there's a super-high wall in left field.

0:05:450:05:49

No-one will be hitting a home run off Lefty here!

0:05:490:05:51

THEY SHIVER

0:05:510:05:53

Next, I put a speaker on top of the right field foul pole.

0:05:530:05:56

When Lefty pitches, the batter being called to the plate should feel awe.

0:05:560:06:00

-ANNOUNCER:

-'The great, unbeatable Lefty is approaching the mound,

0:06:000:06:05

'ready to pitch a perfect game!'

0:06:050:06:08

CROWD CHEERS

0:06:080:06:10

Francine, what are you doing? It's 5.30 in the morning!

0:06:140:06:19

Wear this! I've got to work.

0:06:190:06:22

This is the park, which is also a community garden.

0:06:240:06:28

-Cool!

-I thought the stadium could go next to it.

0:06:280:06:31

That's not nearly enough room!

0:06:310:06:33

Are you sure? Let's see the model.

0:06:330:06:36

Uh... Well... I'm still kind of working on the designs.

0:06:360:06:40

Designs?! I thought you'd be done by now!

0:06:400:06:43

I just need the right materials. Then construction will be under way.

0:06:430:06:47

-What about the other things on your list?

-Arthur,

0:06:470:06:51

the stadium's the most important part!

0:06:510:06:53

The school and the hospital can wait.

0:06:530:06:56

This is exactly what I need for my stadium!

0:06:560:07:00

But where will I put my hat for the strawberry parade?

0:07:000:07:03

You only wear that hat once a year...

0:07:030:07:06

I know! That's why it has to go someplace safe.

0:07:060:07:10

Please, Muffy!

0:07:100:07:11

Oh, all right, take it.

0:07:110:07:13

I don't know why this stadium is so important.

0:07:130:07:16

I could understand if it were a mall...

0:07:160:07:19

-How's YOUR city coming along?

-Almost done.

0:07:190:07:22

I thought of everything, and George is building everything!

0:07:220:07:27

George, where are you?

0:07:270:07:29

Sorry, Muffy, I was off in sector four, working on the plumbing.

0:07:290:07:34

You built all that in five days?!

0:07:340:07:37

Gulp! I think I'd better get to work.

0:07:370:07:41

"For years, the dome at Hagia Sofia in Istanbul

0:07:420:07:45

"was the largest in the world." Why didn't I think of a dome?

0:07:450:07:49

I'll have to redesign the whole thing! Ohh...

0:07:490:07:52

Maybe you should start building.

0:07:520:07:55

If you want something to be great, you can't cut corners.

0:07:550:07:57

-I have to instant message Adil in Istanbul.

-Good idea(!)

0:07:570:08:02

Ask him if he's having a nice dream.

0:08:020:08:04

-It's the middle of the night there!

-Ohh!

0:08:040:08:08

There. Finished.

0:08:150:08:18

Now onto the rest of the stadium.

0:08:180:08:21

-You still haven't started?!

-Yes, I have!

0:08:210:08:24

See, the entrance is done!

0:08:240:08:26

It's great, but you've still got a lot to do!

0:08:260:08:29

I know, that's why I called you here. You make the parking lot.

0:08:290:08:33

-Stop! You're doing it wrong!

-I barely cut it!

0:08:350:08:38

Maybe you should do the other items on my list, like the clock tower.

0:08:380:08:41

And make sure it's lofty!

0:08:410:08:43

Hey! That looks pretty good.

0:08:470:08:49

No... It's not coming out like I imagined.

0:08:490:08:53

It doesn't have to be perfect. You should go to bed.

0:08:530:08:58

CROWD CHEERS

0:09:010:09:03

Francine, this stadium's great... for the pitcher.

0:09:130:09:17

But it's not gonna be so great when we're batting.

0:09:170:09:20

We'll never hit a home run over that wall!

0:09:200:09:22

You're right! Why didn't I think of that?

0:09:220:09:25

Well, maybe someone can hit a home run with that bat...

0:09:250:09:29

ANNOUNCER: 'Now batting, number seven,

0:09:290:09:32

'Henry Confab!'

0:09:320:09:36

RUMBLING

0:09:360:09:37

Is there any way they can adjust the sound system?

0:09:370:09:40

Oh! Why didn't I build a dome?

0:09:400:09:45

GASP!

0:09:470:09:48

It's got holes in it, but it'll have to do.

0:09:510:09:54

I'll just stretch the sides a little and make it fit.

0:10:030:10:06

GASP!

0:10:080:10:10

What happened? It looked great when I left yesterday!

0:10:120:10:15

But it needed a dome. It wasn't perfect!

0:10:150:10:18

What's the point, if it's just ordinary?

0:10:180:10:21

Maybe we can fix it.

0:10:210:10:23

No, it's a perfect disaster. I've ruined everything.

0:10:230:10:28

Maybe it won't be exactly what you had in mind,

0:10:280:10:31

but we're not ruined.

0:10:310:10:33

Hmm, ruins...

0:10:330:10:36

Remember, we're looking for old and broken.

0:10:380:10:41

-How's this?

-Great! The worse condition, the better.

0:10:430:10:46

Note the radial design, where the streets and walkways

0:10:520:10:55

all run from the centre of the city!

0:10:550:10:57

Mmm... Sausage!

0:11:000:11:03

And our trolley cars are edible!

0:11:040:11:06

Admission to Crossfire City is only 5 per person.

0:11:060:11:11

ALL: Wow...!

0:11:110:11:13

And this is the community garden, where you can get free vegetables.

0:11:160:11:22

Now Francine is going to present the old city,

0:11:240:11:27

-within the city!

-With ruins!

0:11:270:11:30

-Here's the old clock tower...

-Wow!

0:11:300:11:33

And here's the Frenskium. It's the ruins of an ancient stadium!

0:11:330:11:38

I love how your city combines the future and the past!

0:11:380:11:42

And what a superb idea to use the Colosseum for inspiration.

0:11:420:11:46

A perfect touch!

0:11:460:11:48

This is awful, Lefty's getting crushed,

0:11:530:11:57

and I don't have enough mustard!

0:11:570:11:58

What do you mean? This game's a blast!

0:11:580:12:01

How many home runs have we seen?

0:12:010:12:03

You don't mind that Lefty's not pitching a perfect game?

0:12:030:12:06

I'll see one someday.

0:12:060:12:08

Yoo-hoo, over here!

0:12:080:12:10

We need more peanuts!

0:12:100:12:11

Oh, you can never get those vendors when you need them.

0:12:110:12:15

Wait a minute... That's what this stadium needs!

0:12:150:12:19

A light that flashes over your seat when you need something.

0:12:190:12:23

-Ohh...

-The buttons could be on the arm rests! It'll be perfect!

0:12:230:12:27

# Every day when you're walking down the street

0:12:320:12:36

# And everybody that you meet

0:12:360:12:38

# Has an original point of view

0:12:380:12:42

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day... #
