0:00:02 > 0:00:05# Every day when you're walkin' down the street
0:00:05 > 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 > 0:00:15# What a wonderful kind of day
0:00:15 > 0:00:17# If we can learn to work and play
0:00:17 > 0:00:21# And get along with each other
0:00:21 > 0:00:23# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat
0:00:23 > 0:00:26# Listen to the rhythm The rhythm of the street
0:00:26 > 0:00:29# Open up your eyes! Open up your ears!
0:00:29 > 0:00:32# Get together and make things better By working together
0:00:32 > 0:00:34# It's a simple message
0:00:34 > 0:00:37# And it comes from the heart
0:00:37 > 0:00:39# Oh, believe in yourself
0:00:39 > 0:00:41# For that's the place to start
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- # And I say, hey!- Hey!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46# What a wonderful kind of day
0:00:46 > 0:00:48# If we can learn to work and play

0:00:51 > 0:00:54# What a wonderful kind of day, hey!
0:00:54 > 0:00:56# What a wonderful kind of day HEY! #
0:00:56 > 0:00:58(Hey, DW!)
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Hey!- Whoa! Oof!
0:01:05 > 0:01:09It started out as a perfect spring day.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Life couldn't get any better.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- BIRDSONG - But that was about to change.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18ARTHUR WHISTLES CHEERFULLY
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Someone's in a good mood.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24There's less than one month of school left.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Muffy's already planning her first pool party.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Oh, that reminds me...
0:01:29 > 0:01:32How do you know when something bad is coming?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35This Friday afternoon, nobody make any plans.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Somehow, I knew this couldn't be good.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Why? What's up?- It's...
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Then she said the three most horrible words
0:01:44 > 0:01:46in the English language.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49DW's spring pageant.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56A-A-A-A-RGH!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59APPLAUSE
0:02:04 > 0:02:06But the pool party's Friday.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Why do- I- always have to do everything DW wants?
0:02:10 > 0:02:11That's not fair.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13I do things for you ALL the time.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Like what?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I give you free advice, I let your silly dog lick my feet,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I defend you when the Tibbles say you look like a banana.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Mum, can I PLEASE skip this one?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Both of you, calm down.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Arthur, you're going to the pageant and that's final.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32But...it's going to be so boring!
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Arthur's going to a pageant.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40Ha-ha-ha! Ah!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Pageant face! Pageant face!
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Pageant face? That doesn't even make any sense.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50It's all I could think of. Don't pick on me.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Arthur, it's just a preschool pageant.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55How bad can it be?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58You wouldn't say that if YOU'D been through what I'VE been through,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00like last fall.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05ALL: # We are autumn's pretty leaves
0:03:05 > 0:03:07# Red and yellow
0:03:07 > 0:03:08# Orange and brown
0:03:08 > 0:03:11# See us falling from the trees
0:03:11 > 0:03:15# Falling, falling, falling down. #
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I would've given anything for a giant leaf blower.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26You know what I do if it's boring?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I count the ceiling tiles.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31468. I checked twice.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Ooh, that IS bad.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Maybe it'll be better this time.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37After all, they've had all year to practise.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40ALL: # We are springtime's pretty flowers
0:03:40 > 0:03:42# See us blossom,
0:03:42 > 0:03:43# One by one
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- # Growing with the April showers... - Wake up now.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- That's it. Stretch your arms. - # ..Reaching, reaching for the sun. #
0:03:51 > 0:03:53THEY ALL YAWN
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Buster was right. This really IS boring.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59What was that, DW?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01What if we tried something exciting?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Well, what did you have in mind?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Um...I know!
0:04:06 > 0:04:09What if in the middle of the song there comes a giant spider?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12And everyone goes, "A-A-A-A-AH!
0:04:12 > 0:04:13"A spider!"
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Come on, people, that's good.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21There isn't really going to be a spider, is there?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23No, of course not.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Unless we use the one...
0:04:25 > 0:04:27behind you!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29A-A-A-A-ARGH!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Ee! A spider!
0:04:32 > 0:04:36DW, you shouldn't do things that scare the other kids.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39It's not MY fault everyone wants the pageant to be boring.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- See! She admits it!- Arthur!
0:04:42 > 0:04:46I'm sure it's not boring. You should've see MY preschool pageant.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Hoh! We sang this old song called Springtime Flowers,
0:04:50 > 0:04:54everyone dressed like flowers, it was awful. Awful.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Boring, unbearable, awful.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Er...that's what WE'RE doing.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Er...I'll do the dishes.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Well, if THEY won't fix it, I will.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09What are you going to do?
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Hm. Wouldn't YOU like to know?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15LIGHTNING STRIKES
0:05:16 > 0:05:18WIND HOWLS
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Think, Nadine, think.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23It HAS to be something exciting.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I want the audience to be moved too.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27BARKING
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Ssh. Pal, be quiet.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31BARKING CONTINUES
0:05:34 > 0:05:35WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Quit spying on me.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Me? I wasn't.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Well, OK, I was.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43But you're not planning on anything
0:05:43 > 0:05:46that's going to embarrass me, are you?
0:05:46 > 0:05:50I hate to break this to you, but not EVERYTHING is about YOU, Arthur Read.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51DOOR SLAMS
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Well, that's a relief.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Hmm.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Have you decided how you'll improve the pageant?- Mm-hm.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I'm going to say a poem.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04About what?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Mum, Arthur's being nosy.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09It's OK, you can keep it a secret.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be wonderful.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15It's going to be a two-person poem.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17I'm going to ask Emily to do it with me.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22She's up to something, I can tell.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Stop worrying.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25And, anyway, I've decided
0:06:25 > 0:06:28my pool party won't start till AFTER the pageant.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31The preschool's on the way to Muffy's. I'll pick you up.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34She's planning something, I just know it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36She's TOO happy.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38TOO happy?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40If she's planning to drive him crazy,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42it's working.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45ALL: # We are springtime's pretty flowers
0:06:45 > 0:06:48# See us blossom, one by one
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- # Growing with the April showers... # - Still 468.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- # ..Reaching, reaching...- Ssh! - ..for the sun. #
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Thank you. And now DW Read will recite a poem that she wrote.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12DW WHISPERS
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It appears that DW won't be reciting her poem.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19So we'll go right to intermission.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Mum and Dad said I can leave now.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32DW dropped out. It's just the other kids after this.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Cool. Let's go.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Er...hang on.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Why didn't you do your poem?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I couldn't get anyone to do it with me.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Big deal. Do it by yourself.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56It's a two-person poem, Arthur Read.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59If you knew ANYTHING about poetry,
0:07:59 > 0:08:03you KNOW you can't do a two-person poem with only one person.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Oh.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Ready?
0:08:06 > 0:08:07Y-Yeah, OK.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10DW SIGHS
0:08:12 > 0:08:13One sec.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16FRANCINE SIGHS
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Nobody else in the whole class would do it with you?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24That's REALLY mean.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25You coming?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Hang on.
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Look, DW, if you really, really need another person to do your poem...
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Arthur, you're the best brother ever!
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Come on!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Go ahead. I'll meet you at Muffy's.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42What, and miss this? No way!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51It's simple. When it starts, you just stand there,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53then...
0:08:53 > 0:08:54FRANCINE WHISTLES
0:08:54 > 0:08:57We got your call. What's the big emergency?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I just thought you'd want to see something on the way to the party.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05For our final performance, a poem by DW Read.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11No way. I'm NOT doing this.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15My Best Friend,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17a poem by DW Read.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Ahem.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27HE SIGHS
0:09:28 > 0:09:31My best friend lives in my house
0:09:31 > 0:09:34He isn't a lion and he isn't a mouse
0:09:34 > 0:09:36He's a chimpanzee and he goes...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Ah-ah ee-ee oo-oo.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42(Louder!)
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Ah-ah ee-ee oo-oo.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48(You'll have to act like a chimpanzee!)
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Ah-ah oo-oo-oo ah-ah-ah-ah.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Oo-oo ah-ah.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56LAUGHTER
0:09:56 > 0:09:59He climbs on furniture And hangs on lamps
0:09:59 > 0:10:02And when he's happy He does a silly dance...
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Oo-oo-oo ah-ah-ah ee-ee-ee! - LAUGHTER
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Oo-oo ah-ah-ah-ah!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Eee-ee-ee oo-oo ah-ah-ah-ah!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Ee-ee-ee oo-oo ah-ah-ah-ah!
0:10:16 > 0:10:19He walks on his hands And sleeps in a drawer
0:10:19 > 0:10:21My best friend is a chimpanzee
0:10:21 > 0:10:23But he never is a bore.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25The end.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:10:27 > 0:10:30See? That wasn't so bad.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Go, Arthur!- Yay, chimp!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Have fun at your party. - Congratulations.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Or, as they say in chimpanzee,
0:10:41 > 0:10:42"Oo-oo ah-ah!"
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Hey, come on, Arthur's not the ONLY talented one, you know.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50I only did it because her friends all told her no.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Can I have your autograph? - Me too. That was funny!
0:10:54 > 0:10:57The Tibbles want one. They're jealous.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59The want to be chimpanzees TOO.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Well, I guess you're all wishing you had said yes when DW asked you.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Asked us what?- To be the...
0:11:07 > 0:11:08HE GASPS
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I don't BELIEVE it!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:11:14 > 0:11:15She GOT you!
0:11:15 > 0:11:17DW!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21BUSTER, FRANCINE AND BINKY LAUGH
0:11:21 > 0:11:25OK, ha-ha, very funny. You can stop laughing now.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28So she never really asked anyone else to be the chimp?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I guess you shouldn't have told her it would be boring.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I'll get her back. You wait.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35We'll see who's the chimp.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Admit it, Arthur, you'll never win.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39DW's too smart.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41I guess it WAS pretty funny.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Do it again. Be a chimpanzee.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45No.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Come on, be a chimp.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48No way!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50OK, then I will.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Oo-oo ah-ah-ah-ah!
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- ALL:- Oo-oo ah-ah-ah!
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Oo-oo ah-ah-ah ee-ee!
