0:00:04 > 0:00:07# Everybody that you meet
0:00:07 > 0:00:10# Has an original point of view
0:00:10 > 0:00:12- # And I say, hey!- Hey!
0:00:12 > 0:00:17# What a wonderful kind of day If we can learn to work and play
0:00:17 > 0:00:20# And get along with each other
0:00:21 > 0:00:24# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat
0:00:24 > 0:00:26# Listen to the rhythm The rhythm of the street
0:00:26 > 0:00:28# Open up your eyes! Open up your ears!
0:00:28 > 0:00:32# Get together and make things better by working together
0:00:32 > 0:00:37# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:00:37 > 0:00:41# Oh, believe in yourself For that's the place to start
0:00:41 > 0:00:46- # And I say, hey!- Hey! - What a wonderful kind of day
0:00:46 > 0:00:51# If we can learn to work and play And get along with each other
0:00:51 > 0:00:56# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Hey, DW!
0:01:00 > 0:01:01- Hey!- Whoa!
0:01:01 > 0:01:03CRASH!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Wouldn't it be great to have your own country?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11You could eat whatever you wanted.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16You could play whenever you felt like it.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21AEROPLANE NOISE
0:01:21 > 0:01:22ARTHUR GASPS
0:01:22 > 0:01:23PLANE CRASHES
0:01:24 > 0:01:28You could even do all those things your parents tell you not to do.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38HE LAUGHS
0:01:40 > 0:01:45The citizenry await your greatness, Mr President.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46ARTHUR SIGHS
0:01:46 > 0:01:48OK.
0:01:49 > 0:01:55CROWD CHANT: Arthur, Arthur, Arthur...
0:01:55 > 0:01:57But would it really be a country...
0:01:57 > 0:02:02TAPE-RECORDED CROWD CHANT: Arthur, Arthur, Arthur...
0:02:03 > 0:02:05..if you were the only citizen?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11All: All hail Kidonia!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Hey, Dad, going to the park with some friends. Be back by lunchtime.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Whoa, slow down. You were going to help me with the yard work, remember?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Aw!
0:02:27 > 0:02:29OK, shrubs all watered! I'll be back in...
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Arthur, did you clean your room?
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Aw!
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Um...it's clean...kind of...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Aw!
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Huh, finally.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Arthur!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55You said you'd help me build the Fairy Mary Moo Cow Cookie Castle...
0:02:55 > 0:02:56remember?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Oh, yeah, sorry. I don't have time. Maybe tomorrow?
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Mom!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Arthur's breaking his promise!
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Aw!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12It was 500 pieces...
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Not including the Fairy Mary Moo Cow Cookie Carriage!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19At least you didn't have to empty the cat box...twice.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Never feed your cat leftover Chinese food.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I spent my morning defragging my parents' hard drive.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I don't know what that is, but it sounds terrible!
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Why do parents make us do all these chores?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It's like they don't want us to have fun.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37If I had my own country, it would be against the law to give kids chores.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Too bad you can't have your own country.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42Why can't we?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Uh...because you can't just declare your independence
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- and call yourself a country. - Actually, you can.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50There are a lot of tiny countries in the world.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52There's even one called Sealand -
0:03:52 > 0:03:55that's just a platform in the Atlantic Ocean.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Friends, young people, classmates, by the power invested in...
0:04:00 > 0:04:01this baseball...
0:04:01 > 0:04:06I declare us all citizens of Kid...
0:04:06 > 0:04:07onia.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10ALL: All hail Kidonia!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18# Oh, dear Kidonia
0:04:18 > 0:04:21# I pledge my loyalty
0:04:21 > 0:04:28# Where kids have broke the chains of parental tyranny
0:04:28 > 0:04:32# Where chores are no more
0:04:32 > 0:04:35# And fun is guaranteed
0:04:35 > 0:04:39# All hail Kidonia
0:04:39 > 0:04:45# Land where kids are free. #
0:04:45 > 0:04:48OK, we have a flag, a Latin slogan, a national anthem
0:04:48 > 0:04:50and traditional Kidonian hats.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51What now?
0:04:51 > 0:04:55We should have a constitution so people know what we stand for.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56Good idea!
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Here's something...
0:04:59 > 0:05:02No rules, no laws, no chores.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03All in favour?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05ALL: Aye!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Any other ideas for the constitution?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13That one covers all the ones I can think of.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15It's brilliantly concise.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I think I'll put my socks on my ears.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19Why?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Because...I can!
0:05:22 > 0:05:23I love this country!
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- Arthur, will you help me clear? - Sorry, Dad.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31I'm a citizen of Kidonia now,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33and we don't do chores or follow any rules.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34It's in our constitution.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Kidonia?! What's that?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40A new country I made with Buster, Brain and Francine.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Here's my passport.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44I see!
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Well, we have a tradition in THIS country.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50If you don't help clear, you don't get dessert.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52It goes against everything I believe in.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Huh?!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Ohh...
0:05:56 > 0:05:59But I'll do it just this once.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I have my own country, too.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05DW-land. We're not allowed to eat broccoli.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Nice try, DW.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16It didn't work for me, either!
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I told my mom that it was against my principles,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22but she still made me empty out my food cabinet.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26All I have left now is Yamlet, Prince of Tubers.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Life is so much better back home in Kidonia.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Hey, why don't we spend the night there on Saturday?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34That's a great idea!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I'll bring snacks, Brain can bring ice cream -
0:06:37 > 0:06:39it'll be a national holiday!
0:06:39 > 0:06:40HE YAWNS
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- Well, good night, Citizen Reed. - Good night, Citizen Baxter.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51It's Kidonian money. My friend Brain made it.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55See, it works like a coupon. Each bill is worth one favour.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58In this case, you get...
0:06:58 > 0:07:0115 minutes of free advice.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Ask away, my friend.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07HE GASPS
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I never said you could use Kiddies outside of Kidonia!
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Then what good are they? There's nothing to buy in Kidonia!
0:07:16 > 0:07:17I'll sell you something.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19I was going to give them to you tonight at the sleepover,
0:07:19 > 0:07:20but you can have 'em now.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Air fresheners? What am I supposed to do with these?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Hang one on each ear.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Your socks don't bother me when they're on your feet,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- but when they're on your head, they stink up the country!- Tough!
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Read the constitution. I can do whatever I want in Kidonia.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36But those socks really smell.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Well, we'll just see what the High Court says about this tonight.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- There IS no High Court! - There is now! I just made it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Good day to you both.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53We hope to see you again, Mr Reed. Safe travels.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Thank you. You have a beautiful country.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00You'd better send me a postcard!
0:08:05 > 0:08:09# All hail Kidonia
0:08:09 > 0:08:12# Land where kids are free. #
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Hey, let's stay up all night!
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- You know why? - ALL: Because we can! Woo-hoo!
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Yeah!- Kidonia!- Yeah!
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Huh?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Where are you going?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Home. I mean, my real home.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I'm not living in a country where a quarter of the population
0:08:35 > 0:08:36behaves LIKE PIGS!
0:08:37 > 0:08:42You're just jealous because my ears are nice and warm!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I formally renounce my citizenship.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Good luck. You're going to need it!
0:08:52 > 0:08:53I would have brought more food
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- if a certain someone hadn't given me phoney money.- It's not phoney!
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Kiddies are worth something as long as you spend them in Kidonia.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Here, I'll pay you for my share of the pretzel.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11For...a free word problem?! Forget it!
0:09:11 > 0:09:15That's a bargain! Do you know how hard it is to make one of those up?
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Why don't why just split the pretzel evenly three ways?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Um... That wasn't supposed to happen.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Who gets that piece?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30We'll settle it the Kidonian way -
0:09:30 > 0:09:32through mind-reading.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35OK, who can guess what I'm thinking right now?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Mind-reading is impossible.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39It goes against the laws of physics.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Maybe, but there ARE no laws here. And that wasn't what I was thinking.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Well?
0:09:45 > 0:09:46I have no idea!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Aliens? Pizza?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Aliens eating pizza?
0:09:50 > 0:09:51BUSTER GASPS
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Aww. Well played, my friend. Well played.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Our population is dwindling.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18I'm hungry. And chilly.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Maybe having our own country wasn't such a good idea.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24What do you mean?! It's a great idea!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Where else can you spill a whole bottle of apple juice
0:10:27 > 0:10:29and not get scolded by anyone?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Is that why there are so many ants in here?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Could be.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Well, why didn't you clean it up?!
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Because I didn't have to.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Read the consti...- I don't have to read the constitution!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I wrote the constitution!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47And now I'm adding something to it.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51"He who spills something cleans it up."
0:10:51 > 0:10:53You know, Kidonia used to be a place
0:10:53 > 0:10:55where a kid could do whatever he wanted.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Now it's just like everywhere else.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Goodbye, Citizen Reed. I'm moving to Baxtervania.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04HE GROANS
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Hi, honey. How are things back in Kidonia?
0:11:10 > 0:11:11OK, I guess.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16Actually, there IS no Kidonia any more. Everyone left.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Would it be OK if I...stayed here?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Of course, you can stay as long as you like!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Or at least until you turn 30.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32But you'll have to follow some rules and do some chores.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Deal.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Oh, and since DW couldn't have her own country,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I allowed her to be head of security for this one.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40HE GASPS
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I'm going to have to see everything in these bags, sir.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Passport, please.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49If everything checks out, you'll be X-rayed, then Y-rayed,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51and, finally, Q-rayed.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Right this way, please.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Uh, is this going to take long?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Very.
