0:01:13 > 0:01:16I haven't even started my homework yet.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19Have you ever noticed how hard it is to get to work on your homework?

0:01:19 > 0:01:20DOOR SLAMS

0:01:20 > 0:01:23First, you have to make sure you have your favourite pencil

0:01:23 > 0:01:27sharpened and a couple of backups, just in case.

0:01:27 > 0:01:28BABY CRIES

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Then, you need a ruler, because you never know

0:01:30 > 0:01:32when you'll have to draw a straight line.

0:01:32 > 0:01:33DOG GROWLS

0:01:38 > 0:01:41And then, you have to make sure you have enough light.

0:01:46 > 0:01:47If you aren't going to play with me,

0:01:47 > 0:01:51what choice do I have but to bake a cake in my Merry Moo Cow oven?

0:01:54 > 0:01:56But they're in the...basement!

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Santa and his reindeer are stuck up on the roof!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22No, DW, those are workmen fixing the leak in Arthur's ceiling.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Will they be done by the time I get home from school?

0:02:25 > 0:02:27I have a three-page paper due.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30I'm afraid the contractor said it could take a week, Arthur.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31Why don't you study in the den?

0:02:31 > 0:02:33I get lots down in there when I'm working.

0:02:35 > 0:02:39I'm sorry, Ed, but you can't claim Bailey as a dependant.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Eh, no, I don't think you should adopt him.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Hey, let's go over these numbers again.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04There you are! I thought maybe you'd been abducted by aliens.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07I wasn't abducted, but my bedroom was.

0:03:07 > 0:03:08There's a leak in it

0:03:08 > 0:03:11and I had to write my paper yesterday in the tree-house.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17I, uh, ha-ha, included visual aids!

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Why don't you come over and study in my room until the leak gets fixed?

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Really? That'd be great!

0:03:23 > 0:03:25I'd advise against it.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27According to Young Entrepreneurs' magazine,

0:03:27 > 0:03:3175 percent of friends who work together don't stay together.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Remember when you became allergic to your carpet

0:03:33 > 0:03:36and stayed with us for a week?

0:03:36 > 0:03:37That wasn't pretty.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40- That's not going to happen to us. - Yeah.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42What kind of friendship can't survive studying

0:03:42 > 0:03:44together in the same room.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47We'll have fun and we'll get twice as much done.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52I've just finished my math homework for the entire year!

0:03:52 > 0:03:56And I've just created a timeline for the War of 1812. Hah!

0:03:56 > 0:03:58- What's left to do?- Five words...

0:03:58 > 0:04:01Doug Bunny's Video Game Smackdown!

0:04:03 > 0:04:05This is so not going to go well.

0:04:08 > 0:04:09My doorknob's a little funny.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Just pull up and to the right - there's a system to it.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Wow! You might want to get that fixed.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22- What do you mean?- Uh, nothing. So...where should I sit?

0:04:22 > 0:04:26Arthur, my friend, sit anywhere you like.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27Um...OK, thanks.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Hey, Study Buddy, please don't move any of the clothes.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34That pile is for clothes I've just worn once,

0:04:34 > 0:04:37and that pile is for clothes I've worn twice.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39What's that pile?

0:04:39 > 0:04:4130 days straight and still wearable.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43See? There's a system to it!

0:04:45 > 0:04:46HE CRUNCHES LOUDLY

0:04:48 > 0:04:52Hey, Study Buddy, maybe we could take a snack break later.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54I'm preparing for the Geography test.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58I've got a different vegetable for every country in the UN.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02I nibble them into the correct shape. This onion is Oman,

0:05:02 > 0:05:05the pepper is Peru and that radish is Romania.

0:05:05 > 0:05:06There's a system to it!

0:05:09 > 0:05:1475 percent of friends who work together, don't stay together.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26I know Buster's still at his Alien Invasion Defence Club,

0:05:26 > 0:05:29but would you mind if I waited for him in his room?

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Hey, Arthur, did you know tinfoil can block mind control rays?

0:05:48 > 0:05:49HE GASPS

0:05:49 > 0:05:51What did you do?!

0:05:51 > 0:05:55I got here a little early, so I thought I'd help you organise.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57But I am organised - I have a system.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Well, yes, but I'm giving you a better system.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Look! I even found another chair.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05GASPING: Where's my United Nations of vegetation?

0:06:05 > 0:06:08It was all rotting, so I made you this instead.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11A map?! Who studies for a Geography test with a map?!

0:06:11 > 0:06:12HE GASPS

0:06:12 > 0:06:16What happened to the doughnut from my Cabinet of Curiosities?

0:06:16 > 0:06:18I thought it was Denmark.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21This is SO not going to go well.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Thank you for your help (!)

0:06:26 > 0:06:28You're welcome.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31I think you're going to find we're both much more productive this way.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Say what?

0:06:58 > 0:06:59Done!

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- I'm not saying that. - Yes, you are.- No, I'm not.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Oh, hi, Betsy.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32It's so nice of Buster to host Arthur while we're fixing the roof.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Are the boys having a fun time together?- Fun?

0:07:35 > 0:07:37It's more that like that old TV sitcom.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- NARRATOR:- On November 13th, Arthur Read was asked to leave

0:07:44 > 0:07:47his own bedroom. That request came from his mother.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53With nowhere else to go, he appeared at the house of his friend Buster.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56Can two best friends study in a room together without

0:07:56 > 0:07:58driving each other crazy?

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Oh, dear. Well, they'll work it out somehow.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09How long can one person spend in the bathroom?

0:08:09 > 0:08:14How many old toothbrushes can one kid keep? I organised them for you.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48I've been wearing the same underwear for two weeks cos

0:08:48 > 0:08:50I cant find where you put anything!

0:08:50 > 0:08:54- Maybe we should stop studying together.- Maybe I'll just leave.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58- But this is your room! - Stop telling me what to do!

0:08:59 > 0:09:04I warned you. You have to be really mature to live and work together.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07That's what Francine and I learned when I had to stay with her.

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Had to?

0:09:08 > 0:09:10You mean, you GOT to stay with me.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13OK, but how did you get Muffy to stop cleaning your room?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15You were lucky to have me!

0:09:15 > 0:09:17You were lucky to we didn't throw you out, Miss Fancy Pants.

0:09:25 > 0:09:30Oh, hello, Mrs Baxter. I'm afraid Buster and I aren't friends any more.

0:09:32 > 0:09:36I knew you'd come to me eventually.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38So, what's Arthur doing?

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Bossing you around? Hogging the remote?

0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Not letting you braid his hair? - Um, no...

0:09:44 > 0:09:48It's more that he keeps cleaning his glasses in this really nasally way.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Know what to do? Hide his glasses in your room!

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Oh, you're right.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Hey, maybe I could study here with you.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Mum! Buster's looking at me!

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Sometimes, working together makes people's habits seem worse

0:10:14 > 0:10:16than they are. But if Buster wasn't who he was,

0:10:16 > 0:10:20we'd never have spaghetti marshmallow balls.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22They are surprisingly good.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27You'll find a way it work it out.

0:10:27 > 0:10:28Oops!

0:10:28 > 0:10:31I almost stepped on the Nether-yams!

0:10:32 > 0:10:36I'm sorry I cleaned my glasses too loudly around you.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39Sorry I threw a vegetable country at you.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42You know, your dirty clothes system is kind of ingenious.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44It saves on water.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47And you might have an OK idea there, with that whole map thing.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Where is my map? It's not on the wall any more.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53The desk was rocking, so I folded it up and put it under one of the legs.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56What?! Do you know how hard I worked on that?!

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Do you know how hard I worked on Spain-ich?!

0:10:59 > 0:11:00That's it! I'm out of here!

0:11:28 > 0:11:30You better watch out, Buster, I've got you by the ears!

0:11:30 > 0:11:33I'm ripping out all five of your livers!

0:11:33 > 0:11:35Ha-ha!

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Oh, hi, Mum. What's up?

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Can you believe how much homework Mr Ratburn gave us tonight?
