0:00:09 > 0:00:10SHE LAUGHS

0:00:12 > 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 > 0:00:20# And get along with each other

0:00:23 > 0:00:26# Listen to the rhythm The rhythm of the street

0:00:41 > 0:00:43- # And I say, hey! - # Hey!

0:00:51 > 0:00:57# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #
0:00:57 > 0:00:58Hey, DW!
0:01:00 > 0:01:01- Hey!- Whoa!
0:01:01 > 0:01:04THUD!
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Arthur, look what I got from Grandma!
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Please tell me you've already named it(!)
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Of course I haven't named it. Come on,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15we have to get started.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Whenever DW gets a new stuffed animal or doll,
0:01:19 > 0:01:20I have to help her name it.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And it's a very elaborate process.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29First, DW has to be blindfolded and spun around.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Stop!
0:01:31 > 0:01:34All right, remove the blindfold.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37The first letter of the first thing she sees
0:01:37 > 0:01:40will be the first letter of the doll's name.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Xylophone!
0:01:43 > 0:01:47X. Great(!) Only the toughest letter of the alphabet.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51A challenge! OK, let's make the naming potion.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Then I mix the naming potion.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Easy with the cinnamon!
0:01:56 > 0:01:57And she says...
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Nama-lama-lama,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01hoc-hic-moo!
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Then she kicks her legs while drinking from her curly straw...
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and takes a nap with the doll under her pillow.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Next the doll is supposed to tell DW its name while she sleeps.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Shades, please.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- What is your name?- Squawk!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Tell me your name. Tell me!
0:02:25 > 0:02:26I demand to know!
0:02:26 > 0:02:30Sometimes this part goes on for a while but, eventually,
0:02:30 > 0:02:31DW catches the doll.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34PENGUIN WHISPERS
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Arthur, meet Xeno. Xeno, meet Arthur.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Why are names so important to some people?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Normally I just give out one Thinky a year,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57but this semester a student has improved so much,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01- I've decided to award a second one. - Thank you!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Thank you...- George, you won the last Thinky.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06You can't win two.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Oh...sorry.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Binky...- Uh? I was doing work!
0:03:11 > 0:03:14What's the question? The answer is 12.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Binky, I didn't ask a question.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18This award is for you.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Your grades are up and you've really been paying attention in class.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Usually.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I've won an academic award?!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28This has never happened to me.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30< She did not say that, Chip!
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Would you like to say a few words?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Um, OK. I'd like to thank some other kids...
0:03:36 > 0:03:38< That is SO unfair!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Arthur, you really helped with that project last week...
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- < ..Could do better than that! - ..and, and Brain, you've helped
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- with dance...I mean, math! - MUFFY TALKS OVER HIM
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Muffy! Would you cut it out?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Got to go! Congratulations!
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Miss Crosswire, not only have I told you not to bring your cellphone
0:03:58 > 0:04:00to school four times this year,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03but you have also been disrespectful to your classmate.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07You will not be allowed to go to recess for a week.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Instead you will stay here in class and do work.- Oh!
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Binky, you can continue your speech on Monday morning.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Starting today.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Oh!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Glad someone's here - although
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I don't know why you'd want to be inside on a day like this!
0:04:40 > 0:04:44It's the most beautiful Friday I've seen in years.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47One for the books. Not a cloud in the sky.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49And so much rain forecast too!
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Could you give this class list to Mr Ratburn? I want to make sure
0:04:53 > 0:04:55the names are spelled correctly.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01Ha, ha! Look at that - even the birds are smiling today.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05There I am! Mary Alice Crosswire.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Shelley Barnes?! Who's Shelley B...
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Ohhhhh!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Hm...
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Thanks for getting me in trouble.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25You should know better than to cross a Crosswire... Shelley.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Who's Shelley?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Hello! You!
0:05:28 > 0:05:32It's your real name. Don't you even know your real name?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34My name isn't Shelley.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37It is according to this official list.
0:05:37 > 0:05:43I made a copy. Won't everyone be surprised to learn that big bad Binky
0:05:43 > 0:05:45is actually just...Shelley!
0:05:45 > 0:05:50My name is NOT Shelley. That's just a silly typo.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52We'll see about that.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Can't wait to hear the rest of your speech, Shelley.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01WHAT?! How come you never told me?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I thought you knew. We called you Shelley up until you were two.
0:06:05 > 0:06:11But you loved your pacifier so much that we started calling you Binky.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- And the name stuck. - But I can't be Shelley!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Why not?- Because I'm Binky!
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Everybody thinks of me as Binky. - I- think of me as Binky.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24It's just a name, Sweetie.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26It's not just a name!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Shelley's a terrible name! Think of all the things it rhymes with.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Belly, smelly, Machiavelli!
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Well, you'll always be my little Binkums to me.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Shelley will be our secret. BINKY GASPS
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Muffy...
0:06:47 > 0:06:51COMPUTER BEEPS "What do you want?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53"Just name it. You know who."
0:06:55 > 0:07:00"Revenge or a pony. Your choice."
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Ohhhhh.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Binky, dinner!
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- I'm not hungry! - SHE GASPS
0:07:12 > 0:07:14CHAT AND LAUGHTER
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- Ha, ha, ha!- Statistically speaking,
0:07:17 > 0:07:22the chances of anything being funnier than this are zero!
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I thought I was the funniest thing in this class until he came along.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31That is enough. Now let's let Shelley give the speech that...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Shelley has prepared. HE STIFLES LAUGH
0:07:34 > 0:07:37You may proceed. Ha, ha, ha!
0:07:37 > 0:07:42I can't take it any more! It's the funniest thing I've ever heard!
0:07:42 > 0:07:44HE GUFFAWS
0:07:44 > 0:07:48LAUGHTER CONTINUES
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Still awake, Sweetie?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Of course I'm still awake. When I was Binky I slept well.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Now - forget it!- Here's a sandwich.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I thought you might be hungry. I also thought you should see this.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Who's that?- Shelley Barnes.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Your great-grandfather. The person you are named after.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Was he in the circus? Let me guess,
0:08:13 > 0:08:18he was a sideshow attraction cos he had such a dorky name.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22No, he owned the circus. At least he did eventually...
0:08:22 > 0:08:25At first he was just part of the circus.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27And not a very good one at that.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31They were known as The Travelling Malenky Brothers.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Even their barker was bad.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37(YAWNS) Step right up, come see a pretty good show.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41When Shelley was only nine, he joined the trapeze act,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44helping Ferdinand the Flying Fox,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46who couldn't really fly at all.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Waaaaah! - SPLAT!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Next he helped Heinrich the Clown,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54whose heart had been broken when the bearded lady left him.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58SOBS: Why? Why? Why?
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Then he apprenticed with Lionel the Lion Tamer who couldn't tame actual
0:09:07 > 0:09:10lions but did have a very large cat.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12MEOW!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The circus was a complete bust.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22People stopped coming to see The Travelling Malenky Brothers.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Sometimes when Shelley thought how sad his life was,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29he would go on long moonlit rambles. During one of these walks,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32he discovered his special talent.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Move, rock. I said move!
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Right, if you won't move, then I'm going to make you move!
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Yaaaah!
0:09:42 > 0:09:46When the others discovered how strong nine-year-old Shelley was,
0:09:46 > 0:09:50they decided to make him the star attraction.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Soon people were coming from all over to see Brawny Barnes,
0:09:54 > 0:09:57the world's strongest boy!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59But Shelley was smart too.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00With the money they made,
0:10:00 > 0:10:04he suggested they get Ferdinand a more experienced partner.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09And he suggested they get a real lion for Lionel to tame.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11RAAAARGH!
0:10:11 > 0:10:15But the lion actually didn't need much taming!
0:10:15 > 0:10:16LIONEL GIGGLES
0:10:16 > 0:10:21Then Shelley said they should give the cat from Lionel's old act
0:10:21 > 0:10:25to Heinrich which cheered the clown up immensely.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30In short, Shelley saved that circus!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33When he got older, he took it over.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- It toured for years and years.- Wow!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- What an amazing guy!- Yep.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42That's why we gave you his name -
0:10:42 > 0:10:45because your dad and I think you're pretty amazing too!
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Since you were cut short last week,
0:10:50 > 0:10:55would you like to continue your speech before we begin class?
0:10:55 > 0:11:00- You bet I would.- Oh! Mr Ratburn, I feel terrible about interrupting
0:11:00 > 0:11:07- Binky before, could I introduce him? - That's nice of you, go right ahead.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Sometimes you think you know someone
0:11:09 > 0:11:14but then you discover something about them surprises you.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18That's how I feel about our very own...Binky Barnes.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Congratulations!- Uh...thanks.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25(I was never really going to tell, Shelley.)
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I'd like to dedicate this Thinky
0:11:29 > 0:11:33to someone who's strong, smart and really strong -
0:11:33 > 0:11:38the person I'm named after, my great-grandfather, Shelley Barnes.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- ALL: You're Shelley?!- But your name isn't Shelley.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Actually it is. That's the name my parents gave me. I just found out.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50So, would you prefer to be called Binky or Shelley?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Binky - for now. Someday I might be a Shelley.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57If I'm lucky...
0:12:02 > 0:12:04# Every day when you're walkin' down the street
0:12:04 > 0:12:07# Everybody that you meet
0:12:07 > 0:12:11# Has an original point of view
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- # And I say, hey!- Hey!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16# What a wonderful kind of day, hey!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- # What a wonderful kind of day - Hey! #
