0:01:20 > 0:01:23Forget the refrigerator. Check out this!

0:01:23 > 0:01:25It's a box, big deal.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29That's the difference between you and me, Arthur.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32You see a box, I see an elevator.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Or it could be a mobile home for birds.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47BIRDS CAW

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Or it could be a motor boat.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Or a submarine.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03Or a hotel for lobsters, or a unicorn temple, or...

0:02:03 > 0:02:07You know what, DW, you're right. It isn't just a box.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10It's a big mess waiting to happen.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12..or a library with big books, or a studio...

0:02:30 > 0:02:32O...

0:02:36 > 0:02:38A little to the left.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Stop. Perfect!

0:02:46 > 0:02:50My very own office. I can't wait to get to work!

0:02:50 > 0:02:52What kind of work do you do?

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Arthur, I'm too busy to explain everything to you now.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58If you want to know more, make an appointment.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03OK, Nadine, we've got a lot to get done so let's get to it.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06I need ten copies of this.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Staple them and file them.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Done. - PHONE RINGS

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Could you answer that please?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Good morning, DW's office.

0:03:23 > 0:03:24It's the tooth fairy.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Tell her nothing is wiggly. Call back in a few months.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Sorry, Patricia, no teeth right now, but we appreciate your business.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40I guess it's time to write the cheques.

0:03:42 > 0:03:47Check. Check. Check. Check.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50And here's a check for you.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Can I have a raise? - You just got here!

0:03:54 > 0:03:58- And I've been working non-stop. - Fine, fine.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01Here's a raise.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05Thank you. I love my job!

0:04:05 > 0:04:09- Well, we love having you.- What now?

0:04:09 > 0:04:10Juice break.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20THEY SIGH

0:04:21 > 0:04:23DW SNORES

0:04:23 > 0:04:26- DW!- Huh?!- You've got company.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Do you have an appointment?

0:04:28 > 0:04:31No, I just came by to borrow some finger paint.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Let me check with my partner.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Uh-huh. Yeah. OK.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Sorry, we're all out.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42- Who's your partner?- Nadine. She's what you'd call a silent partner.

0:04:42 > 0:04:47Anyway, welcome to Read and...Flumbergast.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Funny, I never knew that was her last name.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Is there anything else we can do for you?

0:04:52 > 0:04:56You can get my cupcake back from that snack robber Tommy Tibble.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Remember the other day when it was Emily's birthday?

0:05:01 > 0:05:05I was excited because no-one had taken the one with red icing

0:05:05 > 0:05:09and I love red icing, even though it tastes just like any other icing.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13And then Timmy asked me to hold his juice and I put my cupcake down.

0:05:16 > 0:05:21When I went to pick it up again, it was gone.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Tommy had red icing on his mouth.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28It may have been the worst day of my entire life!

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Don't worry, Bud.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33I may not be able to get you the cupcake back,

0:05:33 > 0:05:36but I'll at least get you an apology. Come with me.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41- You owe Bud one cupcake. - With red icing.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43No way. I didn't take his cupcake.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47He probably fed it to his silly dinosaur. Anyway, why do you care?

0:05:47 > 0:05:51- She cares because she is my lawyer. - I am?!

0:05:51 > 0:05:56- I mean, I am and I demand justice. - Oh, yeah?

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Well, I'm Tommy's lawyer and I say prove it.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02- I will!- I can't wait.

0:06:05 > 0:06:11- What's a lawyer?- I'm not sure. I saw it on TV back when we had TV.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13But Donna will tell us.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16And Habeas, he's the lead dog of the law firm, says,

0:06:16 > 0:06:20"Then how do you explain this yellow feather, Fatcat?"

0:06:20 > 0:06:24It's called Habeas Canine Legal Beagle and it's a great series.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26There's a new case in each one

0:06:26 > 0:06:30and Habeas always wins, except for book ten, but that's a two-parter.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32You want to borrow book one, Habeas Versus Fatcat?

0:06:32 > 0:06:36- Erm...I can't read.- We just want to know what lawyers do.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Well, it depends on what kind of a lawyer it is.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41The Legal Beagles defend clients in a court

0:06:41 > 0:06:43in front of a jury and a judge.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Winning the case means that one side convinces the jury that

0:06:46 > 0:06:49what they said happened actually happened, then the judge

0:06:49 > 0:06:53- decides on the punishment. If there is one.- Sounds easy enough.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Let's take those Tibbles to court. - Yeah!

0:06:55 > 0:06:59We'll get two cupcakes back, one for me and one for you.

0:06:59 > 0:07:05- And Nadine, don't forget the silent partner.- Oh, yeah, sorry!

0:07:08 > 0:07:12- No.- But it's for a good cause. Justice must be served!

0:07:12 > 0:07:16Fine, but why do my friends and I have to serve it in our backyard

0:07:16 > 0:07:17on a Saturday?

0:07:17 > 0:07:22- Because you and your friends are so smart and fair and wise!- Still no.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23DOOR SLAMS

0:07:23 > 0:07:27If you could have seen Bud today, he was a wreck.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31He is new here, hardly knows a soul and then, this happens.

0:07:31 > 0:07:37It is not right, Arthur. What if it happened to you? You'd feel so...

0:07:37 > 0:07:39so alone. SHE SOBS

0:07:39 > 0:07:42OK, OK, we'll be your judge and jury

0:07:42 > 0:07:44but only for two hours

0:07:44 > 0:07:45and there'd better be lunch.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47DOOR SLAMS

0:07:49 > 0:07:54- How was I?- Amazing! You had me crying, too.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00Miss Flumbergast, I think we've got this case in the bag.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07You are hereby summoned to appear before the honourable judge

0:08:07 > 0:08:11Buster Baxter in Arthur's yard this coming Saturday to defend

0:08:11 > 0:08:14yourself in the case of Thompson versus Tibble.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Lunch will be served.

0:08:17 > 0:08:22Relax, Tommy, there's no proof. Just do exactly what I say.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25We're going to mop the floor with those two.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28First off, I'd like to say that you're all guilty!

0:08:28 > 0:08:30GAVEL SQUEAKS

0:08:30 > 0:08:35- Buster, we haven't even started yet! - Oh, OK. Proceed.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38Today, I will prove to you that this poor little boy

0:08:38 > 0:08:41had his cupcake stolen by Tommy Tibble.

0:08:41 > 0:08:46It was mean and greedy and justice must be served.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50And I will show you that Tommy did not steal that cupcake.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53In fact, he doesn't like cupcakes.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56- He doesn't even know what a cupcake is.- It's a muffin, right?

0:08:56 > 0:09:01- He doesn't know!- Amazing!- Order! Order!- Don't worry.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05I've got a star witness who knows for a fact that he is lying.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Then I saw him lick the icing from his mouth.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13It may have been THE worst day of my entire life!

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Who are you REALLY, Bud Thompson?

0:09:21 > 0:09:26- Huh?- What is "Bud" short for? - I-I-I'm not sure.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29Ladies and gentleman, he doesn't even know who he is.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Yes, I do! I'm me!

0:09:31 > 0:09:33How many cupcakes were on that tray

0:09:33 > 0:09:37and what time exactly do you claim yours was stolen?

0:09:37 > 0:09:41- I... Well, II don't remember. - I'm done with this witness.

0:09:43 > 0:09:46I'd like to call on Nadine Flumbergast.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48I object, she's imaginary!

0:09:48 > 0:09:50But she heard directly from

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Uncle Ernie, Tommy's imaginary friend,

0:09:52 > 0:09:55that he confessed to taking the cupcake.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Young lady, the only imaginary friends allowed in this

0:09:58 > 0:10:01court are MY imaginary friends.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04You're welcome, Zeenon.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07We will now take a long break for lunch.

0:10:07 > 0:10:08GAVEL SQUEAKS

0:10:08 > 0:10:13- What now?- I don't know. She was my star witness. Let me think.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17There's one more thing we can try, but it's a long shot.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22Well, Mr Thompson, where's your lawyer? We don't have all day.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25She had to run an errand with her daddy, your honour,

0:10:25 > 0:10:29but I'd like to call Tommy Tibble to the stand.

0:10:29 > 0:10:34- Well, what do you want to know? - Oh, just THIS!

0:10:34 > 0:10:39- Admit it!- Er...I...

0:10:39 > 0:10:41I ate...

0:10:42 > 0:10:45TOMMY SIGHS WITH RELIEF

0:10:45 > 0:10:49Hey, everyone, who wants dessert?

0:10:49 > 0:10:53Here you go, cupcakes for everyone.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56One for you and you and... Oh, wait.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59That's right, you don't like cupcakes.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Well, I'll just set it right down here, anyway.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04DW GASPS Is that a bald eagle?

0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Huh?- Seriously?- Where?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Sorry. My mistake. It was just a cloud.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Now let's get back to the trial.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17So, Tommy, you say you don't like cupcakes. Is that right?

0:11:17 > 0:11:18HE MUMBLES

0:11:18 > 0:11:21I can't hear you. Could you please speak up?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23HE MUMBLES

0:11:23 > 0:11:25The court commands you not to mumble!

0:11:27 > 0:11:29- Eww!- Sweet petunia!

0:11:29 > 0:11:33I did it! I ate it! I ate Bud's, too. It's the red icing,

0:11:33 > 0:11:36I can't resist it! I don't know why!

0:11:36 > 0:11:37HE SOBS

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Thank you, DW.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42Those cupcakes you brought out were delicious,

0:11:42 > 0:11:44but justice tastes even sweeter.

0:11:47 > 0:11:52- Well, there goes our office.- Yep, shut down because of recycling day.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Will you miss it?- Are you kidding?

0:11:55 > 0:11:56It was so stressful,

0:11:56 > 0:11:59I'm happy to wait another 20 years before I go back to one.
