0:01:18 > 0:01:22Arthur! You're never going to believe what fell out of the sky!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24What? A meteor or something?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Close, but no. A soccer ball!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Seriously - it fell right out of the sky!
0:01:29 > 0:01:33Want to see it? It's signed by someone named El Boomerang.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35No! It can't be!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Can't be what?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39A friend of mine lost a soccer ball a few months ago
0:01:39 > 0:01:42that was signed "El Boomerang". I wonder...
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Adil, could I ask you a favour?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Hey, Arthur! I have something for you.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54And I have something for you!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58It's an invitation to my birthday party, a week from Saturday.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Just a few close friends. Think you can make it?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Yeah, of course. Thanks a lot!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- You said you had something for me?- Huh?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Oh, yeah. It's a comic book. I'll give it to you later.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12This isn't it. This is just a box.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14From Turkey. It's a meteor... or something.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16See ya!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20This is going to be the best birthday gift EVER!
0:02:29 > 0:02:31WHISTLE PEEPS
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Get ready, George! You're going to bring us home!
0:02:41 > 0:02:45All right! There's no way we can lose now!
0:02:49 > 0:02:52THEY CHEER
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Did we win? Did we win?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00No! We didn't win! You call THAT running?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I was going as fast as I could!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Oh, really?! I've seen sick turtles run faster than that!
0:03:06 > 0:03:09You just gave up, that's all!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I did NOT give up!
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Are you sure it's the same ball?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Uh-huh. Brain examined Alberto's soccer ball when Francine had it,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21and I showed him this one the other day.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25There are more scuff marks but see this elliptical smudge pattern,
0:03:25 > 0:03:271cm from the seam? It's identical.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30I'm 99% sure it's a match.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33How do you think El Boomerang got all the way to Turkey?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36That's easy! It sailed to South America,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39then made its way to Europe, China, India and Africa.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Then maybe it went into space and...
0:03:41 > 0:03:43HE SIGHS FRUSTRATEDLY
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Why do I even bother to ask you these things?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- < FOOTSTEPS - There's George. Hey, George!
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Come in here for a second. - I thought you hated running.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52HE PANTS
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I do, but I thought I should practise.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Here. I haven't touched my water.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Thanks. I feel really bad about losing yesterday's race.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I didn't give up - I swear. I'm just slow.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10We know, George. It's no big deal if you aren't fast.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Yeah. My uncle Stu is in great shape and he just walks everywhere.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Once, he almost walked from Crown City back to Elwood City.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Wow! That's really far.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22It took him seven hours but at the very end,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25he twisted his ankle on a tree root and couldn't finish.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29I wonder if anybody has ever done that walk since.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Well, maybe someone will!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36FRANCINE LAUGHS You can't be serious!
0:04:36 > 0:04:39You're going to walk from Crown City to Elwood City?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41That would take, like, a gazillion hours!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43A gazillion and a half,
0:04:43 > 0:04:46because I'm going to use back roads and bike paths.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48I've got it all mapped out.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50And you're going to do this all on your own?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53No, my dad's coming with me. And Wally.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Would you like to sponsor me? I'm raising money for Autism research.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59A dollar for every hour I walk.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04A dollar for every hour? Sure. Why not? I've got 50 cents I can spare!
0:05:04 > 0:05:05SHE LAUGHS
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Walking to Elwood City from Crown City! Ha!
0:05:09 > 0:05:12HE GROANS
0:05:12 > 0:05:16This Saturday at 8am, I'm going to walk from City Hall in Crown City
0:05:16 > 0:05:19back to Elwood City and I was wondering if you...
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Yes. Yes, by all means. Excellent idea. Now take your seat, please.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41HE LAUGHS
0:05:46 > 0:05:48HE LAUGHS
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Sure, I'll give you a dollar for every hour...if you carry this!
0:05:59 > 0:06:0428...29...30...
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Is that all you can do?
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Come on! Give me ten more! And put some socks on!
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I feel like I'm lying next to two wedges of old cheddar.
0:06:14 > 0:06:1731...32...
0:06:27 > 0:06:29You found El Boomerang? But how?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I have friends all over the world, Alberto.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34I got a lead from my contact in Istanbul.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37This is the best present I've got!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40It's even better than the helicopter!
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Arthur, from this day forward, we are officially ketchup brothers!
0:06:59 > 0:07:05Destroy. Destroy. Destroy. Destroy.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Destroy.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24that George Lundgren does not give up!
0:07:29 > 0:07:32We can't walk in the rain - I'll get mouldy.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36We're doing it, Wally. Here, you can wear this.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I'm not wearing that thing, but I'll use it as a pillow.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Let me know when we get there. - HE SNORES
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Goodbye, Mom! I'll see you back in Elwood City!
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Lucky for us, the rain stopped for our hike.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54Ah, there you are. I was beginning to think I'd come to the wrong place.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Er...I think you misunderstood, Mr Ratburn.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01I was just asking you to sponsor me, not to walk with me.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Oh, dear, and I brought such delightful trail mix.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Well, as long as you're here, you might as well join us.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Splendid. You won't be disappointed.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16I memorised the prologue to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales to entertain us.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18And the rain has stopped.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Oh, this fine day is just getting finer.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40We should be heading east.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I think we're on the wrong path.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Hm. If we cut through this forest, it looks like we'll hit a road.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49But first, a little rest and refreshment.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52K-ration?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Thanks, but I don't want to stop. I want to keep going.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04All righty. Now, who wants to hear madrigals?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09"Dark Bunny vs The Crouton Creature". Ha. I don't have this one.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12So, he fights an evil piece of bread?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I had something much better to give you. Something you really wanted,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19but I can't find it. It just disappeared.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I'm just glad you're here. Have some empanadas.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24HE SIGHS
0:09:29 > 0:09:31This way!
0:09:34 > 0:09:37And my great, great-grandfather, Obadiah Ratburn,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39he was the black sheep of the family...
0:09:39 > 0:09:42George! You're two-thirds of the way there! Keep going!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- I'm not stopping.- How much do I owe you so far?
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- 8.27.- That much? Then you can stop now.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Ha-ha! Just kidding! See you at the finish line!
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Legend has it, PT Barnum wanted her for a side...
0:09:59 > 0:10:00Hey, did you hear?
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Some kid is walking from Crown City all the way back here.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- You mean George? - I don't know his name,
0:10:06 > 0:10:10but we want to see him when he comes down Main Street. You coming?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Yeah! I'll go get my camera.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- MR RATBURN SINGS - I'm not giving up.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I'm not giving up!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20# Foot bone's connected to your ankle bone... #
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I see it! I can see the clock tower! We're almost there!
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Oh!
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Ow! Dear, sweet, Cicero. I think I twisted my ankle.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- I'll call for help.- Don't be silly. Go on without me.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Just leave me your portable telephone and I'll call for help.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- BEEPING - 'Check the number and dial again.'
0:10:41 > 0:10:45No. We'll wait with you until someone comes. This isn't a race.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50He should have been here by now.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51I hope he's OK.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55I suppose there is the possibility that he gave up.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56There he is!
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- HE PANTS - Here, can you take Wally?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09THEY ALL CHEER
0:11:11 > 0:11:12El Boomerang!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14You returned!
0:11:16 > 0:11:21- Way to go!- That was magnificent! - I did it!
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I actually did it! Ha-ha!
0:11:24 > 0:11:29George, you're not the fastest kid I know, but you might be the toughest.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Congratulations!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34You have so many new scars, El Boomerang.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Where on earth have you been?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Well, I can tell you where it was last.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Turkey. That's where my friend found it. Happy birthday, Alberto.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48That nice paramedic fellow who gave me the crutches
0:11:48 > 0:11:51looked just like my uncle Cyril.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54He was the REAL fascinating one in the family.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Owned an emu farm in Sedona, but his real passion was the accordion.
