0:00:02 > 0:00:04# When you're walking down the street
0:00:04 > 0:00:06# Everybody that you meet
0:00:06 > 0:00:11# Has an original point of view
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- # And I say hey!- Hey!
0:00:13 > 0:00:15# What a wonderful kind of day
0:00:15 > 0:00:18# If you can learn to work and play
0:00:18 > 0:00:21# And get along with each other
0:00:21 > 0:00:24# You got to listen to your heart Listen to the beat
0:00:24 > 0:00:27# Listen to the rhythm Rhythm of the street
0:00:27 > 0:00:30# Open up your eyes Open up your ears
0:00:30 > 0:00:34# Get together and make things better by working together
0:00:34 > 0:00:36# It's a simple message
0:00:36 > 0:00:38# And it comes from the heart
0:00:38 > 0:00:43# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- # And I say hey!- Hey!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48# What a wonderful kind of day
0:00:48 > 0:00:50# You can learn to work and play

0:00:56 > 0:00:59- # What a wonderful kind of day- Hey!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hey, DW!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Hey!- Whoa!
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Ooh!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Sometimes you think you know someone,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16but then they do something that really surprises you.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Like DW the other night.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21What are they?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Yaprak dolmasi. A Turkish delicacy.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Vine leaves stuffed with rice, lamb and pine nuts.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29You made something else for DW, right?
0:01:29 > 0:01:33She's not going to want those anywhere near her plate.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Hey, little green hot-dogs.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Wait...
0:01:43 > 0:01:45these don't taste like hot-dogs.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49They're ten times better!
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Mm-mm, delicious!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Can we have these every night?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Or Mr Haney.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Who knew he could play the theremin while balancing plates.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12And then there's...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Hi-yah!- Aah!
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Hi-yah! Hi-yah!
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Fern, I didn't know you were into martial arts?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24The ancient wisdom of the master says,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28"Even a mighty oak, was once a nut like you."
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I have no idea what that meant. Do you?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Oh, well. Maybe this will explain it.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Kung Fool.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Do you think Mr Wu will have lots of great stories?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51He's from China, right?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I don't know. I know his daughter from work, but I've never met him.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57It's nice of you to help him out, though.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Well, I had to volunteer to get my Junior Explorer's badge.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Why not help a wise elder?
0:03:04 > 0:03:05It's open!
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Hi. Are you the exterminator?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14The alligator's in the bathroom.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Alligator?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'm kidding.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20You must be Fern. I'm Tony Wu.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Oh, er, pleased to meet you, Mr Wu.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28- Do you know how to make Mexican food?- Um, no.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Me neither. Let's order in.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33The menus are in the kitchen, by the phone.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I'll pick you up later, sweetie. Bye!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42'Jones needs this shot, to go on to the final.'
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Great. Now he's in the sand trap.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50He should have used the five iron.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Or maybe a waffle iron.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Did you used to play golf, Mr Wu?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Oh yes! I played in 18 different countries.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00Really?
0:04:00 > 0:04:05Yep. In the Elwood City, "Round the World" mini golf course.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Oh.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Could you get me some more mineral water?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13And help yourself to whatever's in the fridge.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20You don't have much in the fridge.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Do you want me to go shopp...ing? HE SNORES
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Hi, Fern. Wanna come over Saturday afternoon?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34We're going to break in our new croquet set.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Sorry, I have to help Mr Wu then.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41I'm volunteering to get my Junior Explorer's Service badge
0:04:41 > 0:04:47- Oh, too bad. Wait... Not Tony Wu? - Yeah, why?
0:04:47 > 0:04:48SHE GASPS
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I heard he lives in Elwood City but I thought it was just a rumour.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Has he taught you anything?
0:04:52 > 0:04:54What would he teach me?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Kung fu. He's a grand master.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58He is?!
0:04:58 > 0:05:05In the '60s and '70s, he was one of the biggest names in martial arts.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06He won tons of trophies
0:05:06 > 0:05:10and created his own Kung Fu style, called Laughing Dragon.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13He even made a few films. I have one here.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Master Wu and the rebel monks.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20It's a terrible movie, but it's really cool to see Tony Wu's moves.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23PIPES AND DRUMS PLAY
0:05:25 > 0:05:28One year I have spent with you,
0:05:28 > 0:05:31and you have taught me nothing!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Only how to sweep and swat flies.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Oh, is that so?
0:05:48 > 0:05:53You see, any practice, even sweeping, is Kung Fu,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57if you learn to focus your mind.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59HE GROANS
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Always pay attention to your surroundings.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Now, make soup!
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Whoops!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Wow! I had no idea who I was helping!
0:06:16 > 0:06:19You think he'll teach me some Kung Fu?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22I'd love to be able to do stuff like fly through the air!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26He retired a while ago, but you never know.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27DOORBELL RINGS
0:06:27 > 0:06:29It's open!
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Master Wu, I'm ready.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Me too. Golf's just about to start.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Shall we order Thai food?
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Aren't there some chores you'd like me to do?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Well, I thought it could wait till after lunch,
0:06:42 > 0:06:45but there are one or two little things.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50Just file it all alphabetically. Angry letters go in the trash.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Thanks, Fern.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Filing?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58What kind of martial art can I learn from this?
0:06:58 > 0:06:59SHE GASPS
0:06:59 > 0:07:04Any practice is Kung Fu, if you learn to focus your mind.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Now, file!
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Hi-yah!
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Hoo...wah! Hoo...wah! Woo! Wah!
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Wah-h-h!
0:07:22 > 0:07:24HE SNORES
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Any further instructions, Master Wu?
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Oh! No, you did plenty.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Thanks, Fern.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Perhaps you can teach me sweeping style next week.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Sweeping style? What's that?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41I see. I'm not ready.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I will try harder.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Hey, Fern. What's with the funny ribbon?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I'm in training. I can't talk about it.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I can only say, I'm learning from a master.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00A master of what? Headbands?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I would advise you not to mess with me.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08I know filing style - Hiii-yah!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Um...OK.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15I'll let you know if I run into any papers that need filing.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26SHE GRUNTS
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Ha! Hoo-ha! Hoo-ha! Ha!
0:08:32 > 0:08:34SHE GRUNTS
0:08:44 > 0:08:45MR WU CLEARS THROAT
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- I think you've cleaned that enough. - SHATTERING
0:08:48 > 0:08:49But now you can start gluing it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I'm so sorry, Master Wu.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It's just a plate. I'll fix it later.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Now, about all this "Master" stuff...
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Well, isn't that what students call their...
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I mean, you're teaching me Kung Fu, right?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- What? - HE LAUGHS
0:09:07 > 0:09:08- Now that's funny! - HE LAUGHS
0:09:08 > 0:09:15- Wait, so all these chores are just... - Helping an old guy with bad knees.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17And you've done a good job too.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Except for the plate.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23I don't believe it. All this time, I thought I was learning something.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28Wait, I'm rusty, but if you really want to learn a martial art,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I can teach you a few things.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33You can? Thank you, Master!
0:09:33 > 0:09:37But no calling me, "Master". I'm Tony.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Now get me some mineral water, grasshopper.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Today, we're gonna try some Tai Chi.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49That means, Supreme Ultimate Fist.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Do what I do.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54First posture, stand quietly.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Just stand?
0:09:56 > 0:10:01Just stand. A correct stance is very important.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06OK, now comes Horse stance.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12So when do I learn to climb walls and walk on trees and stuff?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15That's just in the movies.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Now get ready for the next stance, bow and sit.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23BICYCLE BELL RINGS
0:10:23 > 0:10:28I can't believe you're studying Tai Chi with Mr Wu. You're so lucky!
0:10:28 > 0:10:30But it's so slow!
0:10:30 > 0:10:36I'm sorry, but I couldn't defeat an enemy with bow and sit stance.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42What are you training for, Fern?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- The slow motion Olympics? - HE LAUGHS
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Ding bell on toe.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Step left foot out.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Toe to ground.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Keep back straight.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Tony? Isn't martial arts about fighting opponents?
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Tai Chi is different. It's a soft style.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06About focus and balance.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11But you studied Kung Fu and combat style when you were young in China?
0:11:11 > 0:11:16China? I grew up in California. I learnt Kung Fu from Aunt Shirley.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19You're not even from China?!
0:11:19 > 0:11:22You'll have to let go of your ideas of how you thought things were,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25and go with the flow.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Is that an ancient proverb?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- HE LAUGHS - It's from the '60s.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31I learnt it in Berkeley.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32So, shall we continue?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Why don't we go out to the park and do our lesson there?
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- The park? Uh, no!- Come on, I've never seen you out of the house
0:11:44 > 0:11:48the whole time I've been coming here. It'll do you good.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Er...it's too far.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Too far? This from a Kung Fu master?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I...don't have the right shoes.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- SHE GIGGLES Maybe you'll see friends.- Friends?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03You heard my jokes, Fern. I-I-I don't have any friends.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05SHE LAUGHS
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I'll go, but I'm not gonna like it.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Mind if I join in?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Please...
0:12:15 > 0:12:19You know, Fern...I think I like this after all.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Sometimes you have to let go of your expectations and...
0:12:23 > 0:12:27ALL: Go with the flow!
0:12:32 > 0:12:36# Every day when you're walking down the street
0:12:36 > 0:12:39# And everybody that you meet
0:12:39 > 0:12:42# Has an original point of view
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- # And I say, hey!- Hey! - What a wonderful kind of day.- Hey!
