0:01:06 > 0:01:08History is full of great people.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Heroes and inventors, but I keep thinking about Herodotus.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14They say he's the father of history.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20And that is the Pythagorean theorem.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24OK, now we'll sit around for an hour, then lunch.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Why are we going to just sit around?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Well, Herodotus, because we have nothing to study.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Why don't we study history?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33History?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Yeah, you know, all the things that happened in the past.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Battles, kings, how cities were founded.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41All that cool stuff.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Hmm, not a bad idea.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Class, get out your history tablets.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47THEY GROAN
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Actually, Mr Ratburnus, they haven't been written yet,
0:01:51 > 0:01:52but I'll go write the first one.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57That boy is going to get an alpha plus.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Why couldn't it be Herodotus - the father of comic books?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Arthur, eyes on your history book, please.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06ARTHUR SIGHS
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Thanks, Herodotus.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19I believe your next assignment is one you'll find admirable.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23I want everyone to do an oral report on someone you admire.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27Find out more about them and then tell us why you admire them.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Dibs on Bionic Bunny.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33How can Mr Ratburn say that Bionic Bunny isn't real?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37He's on TV! TV is realer than anything.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I'm doing Pal. He's loyal, he's friendly,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43he always wags his tail when I come home.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44I admire that.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Pal! I should have thought of that.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Your karate teacher?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Aw, that's perfect. I should have thought of that.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55I have one that's even better. I'm doing a fireman.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Only she's not a man, she's a lady.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03Aw, I wanted to do a fireman who wasn't a man, but was a lady.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05I've got them all beat.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Guaranteed A. - ALL: Who? Who?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Mr Ratburn.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12ALL: Wow!
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Aw, why didn't I think of Ratburn?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18I have the best person of all.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20He's really funny and he's outgoing and...
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Aw, you're killing me.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26This is the person I should be doing the report on. Who is it?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28You.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Aw, I wanted to do a... Wait. Did you say...me?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37A report about me! Can you believe it?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I'm going to make sure George's report is the coolest one of all.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44What about your report? Have you decided who you're going to do?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Ah, that's just homework. This is important.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Hey, George, ready to get started?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Well, I have a few things I need to do...
0:03:52 > 0:03:54What are you talking about? This is homework.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56What's more important than homework?
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Come on. No time to lose. I have lots to show you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09WHIRRING
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Now I want to show you something really exciting.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17See! My own sandwich.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20It's called The Buster. Ah!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23My reports going to be so great.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I talked to Betsy today. Did you know that she helped
0:04:25 > 0:04:27put out the fire at the pet store?
0:04:33 > 0:04:34The kittens!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36This should be all of them.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Oops, one more.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Oh, and Horace.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43HORACE COUGHS
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Oh, thank you, fireperson Betsy.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49That's amazing.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52I was talking to my karate teacher and he told me about this time
0:04:52 > 0:04:54when he was at the bank...
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- How about you, George? Find anything interesting about Buster?- Sure.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Lot's of stuff. Just you wait,
0:05:18 > 0:05:22this report's going to be better than any of them.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25This report's going to be worse that any of them.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28I haven't stopped a robbery or saved a hamster from a fire.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30I haven't done anything impressive at all.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I don't even know why George chose me.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Lots of reasons.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Name one.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37Er...
0:05:37 > 0:05:38See!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Pal distracted me.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Er, let me think. You're funny,
0:05:43 > 0:05:44'you tell great jokes.'
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Jokes! That's it. Thanks, Arthur.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- "What do sea monsters eat?" - That's right. All you have to say.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Then I say, "Fish and ships." Get it?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00"What do sea monsters eat?" "Fish and ships."
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- OK?- Erm, I don't think so.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05Why, what's the matter?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09I don't want to sound like I don't know about sea monsters.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Why don't you ask me?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13No-one's doing a report about you.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Come on! Look, I'll give you my dessert. Fudge brownie.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Ah, I'm trying to cut down on the sugar snacks.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21What else have you got?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Hey! Baloney sandwich!
0:06:26 > 0:06:28SIGHING Deal.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Hey, Buster.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37George! Just in time. Better get your pad and pencil ready.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Hey, Arthur, how's that report on Pal going?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Great! I'm just up to the part where...- You know,
0:06:43 > 0:06:47one thing I've noticed about Pal, he is one lazy dog.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50In fact, Pal is so-o-o-o lazy,
0:06:50 > 0:06:54the other day I saw him chasing a parked car.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57How do you chase a parked car?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59You're not writing. Write that down.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02"Pal is so lazy..."
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Hey, guess what I just found out? Mr Ratburn played in a rock band.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11ALL: Wow!
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Did you have a question?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Erm, no.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20You're sure? You're sure you don't have a question?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Oh, right! A question, right.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27BUSTER SIGHS
0:07:27 > 0:07:29What was it? Er, oh, right.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Why do sea monsters eat fish and ships?
0:07:33 > 0:07:38I hope you guys know that you're ruining the story of my life.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Have you seen Pal chasing parked cars?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Buster said he'd be back soon.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47He had to get a few things to help your report.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49I'm sure he won't be long.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Come in and have a snack.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Ta-da!
0:07:57 > 0:08:01George just left, honey. His mom called.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05But...ah, OK.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07See you tomorrow.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10His mom says he has to stay in and work on his report.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12SQUEAKING
0:08:12 > 0:08:15And I spent three allowances on all this stuff.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Don't worry, I gave George lots of information for his report.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I even gave him that DVD of pictures of you.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24BUSTER CHOKES
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Are you OK?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27BUSTER GULPS
0:08:28 > 0:08:31According to Buster's mom, Buster slept with a blankey
0:08:31 > 0:08:33he called his bwankey boo.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36LAUGHTER
0:08:37 > 0:08:38BUSTER SCREAMS
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Oh, no! I can't let George give this report.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43BUSTER GASPS
0:08:46 > 0:08:47This will be perfect.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56George, here, look, I stayed up all night working on it -
0:08:56 > 0:08:57your report.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00But...I already have my report.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Not like this one, just listen.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06"Buster Baxter is well-known as one of the funniest guys in town,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09"but there's something you may not know about him."
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Hey, how about those sea monsters, huh?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15You know what they eat?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Fish and ships!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19THEY LAUGH
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Someone's robbed the pet shop!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24They won't get away with this!

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Officer, arrest those thieves.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10What do you think? Is that a report, or is that a report!
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Erm, thanks, Buster, but I think I'll stick with the one I wrote.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18# I'm a sewer rat, sewer rat, sewer rat, sewer rat
0:10:18 > 0:10:21# Sewer rat
0:10:21 > 0:10:23# I'm a sewer rat... #
0:10:23 > 0:10:24MR RATBURN SIGHS
0:10:24 > 0:10:28To tell the truth, I thought this report was nothing but an easy A,
0:10:28 > 0:10:32but Mr Ratburn turned out to be the kind of guy I really admire.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33The end.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38Yes, well, thank you, Binky. Let's see, who's next?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40George, are you ready?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Yup.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45My report is about Buster Baxter.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47His mom gave me some pictures of him
0:10:47 > 0:10:49in case you don't know what he looks like.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51LAUGHTER
0:10:51 > 0:10:54There's a lot about Buster Baxter to admire.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58He's friendly, he's funny, one time he even solved a mystery when
0:10:58 > 0:11:02it turned our Mrs MacGrady cooked the quarters into the brownies.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06But did you know that he helps maintain the community garden?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08He even donated tomatoes to a soup kitchen.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13But the thing I really admire Buster for is that he never complains.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15He helps his mom around the house.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17He has asthma, but he takes his medication
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and never lets it stop him. Oh, and he plays the tuba.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22The end.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Is it over?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Excellent report, George.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31That's it? But that was all just the normal stuff about me.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33What's admirable about that?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36I guess you're an admirable guy without even trying.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- I am?- Who's next? Buster, are you ready?
0:11:40 > 0:11:41BUSTER GULPS
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Erm...
0:11:42 > 0:11:46I see your homework skills are less than admirable.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I know who I'm going to do my report about though.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Someone who's admirable because he's good at
0:11:52 > 0:11:55finding the admirable things about people - George.
