0:01:14 > 0:01:17Being an imaginary friend isn't easy.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19You have to appear whenever you're summoned.

0:01:22 > 0:01:24You always have to be in a good mood.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Hey, DW! How are you?

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh, how I've missed you!

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Arthur called me a bossy boots!

0:01:32 > 0:01:34I'm not bossy!

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Am I?

0:01:36 > 0:01:40And you always have to tell your real friend just what they want to hear.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44Even if it isn't "technically" true.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46What? You?

0:01:46 > 0:01:47Bossy? Pff!

0:01:47 > 0:01:50You're as sweet and gentle as a little lamb.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54I know! That brother of mine is a lying meanie!

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Thanks, Nadine. You can go now.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05But the hardest part about being an imaginary friend is...

0:02:05 > 0:02:08someday, your friend will outgrow you.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10SHE SIGHS

0:02:10 > 0:02:12- ALARM BUZZES - Nadine!

0:02:23 > 0:02:25- CAMERA CLICKS - Tres chic!

0:02:25 > 0:02:29She'll love it! Now we just need some matching gloves.

0:02:29 > 0:02:30No.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31No.

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Nope.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Oh! But these are perfect for me!

0:02:35 > 0:02:39If only we were shopping for MY birthday and not Francine's.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Here! Try these.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43They match your fur.

0:02:43 > 0:02:44"What are they?"

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Earmuffs.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48They keep your ears warm.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50"A tailmuff"?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52I don't think they sell those, but we'll ask.

0:02:55 > 0:02:56Hi, DW.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Who are you talking to?

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Nadine.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02No, Francine's the sporty one.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04This is the rich one.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Nadine wants to know if you seen a tailmuff around here.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Preferably with sparkles.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Er, sorry.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Oh, well. I asked.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17No, her dad sells used cars, not east-flying carpets.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21I know. That WOULD be a lot more interesting.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23'I swear!'

0:03:23 > 0:03:27There was no-one there. It's like she was talking to a ghost.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Did you smell rotten eggs?

0:03:29 > 0:03:32If not, it probably wasn't a ghost.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35But it could have been a very small pixie.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Arthur? Has your sister been feeling OK?

0:03:38 > 0:03:40I think so. She's just as annoying as usual.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41Why?

0:03:41 > 0:03:45I saw her yesterday talking to someone she called Nadine.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47But there was no Nadine there.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Oh, that's just her imaginary friend.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51I remember mine.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Squinty McGee.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56He used to tell me the best stories.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59And I ate a hole in her favourite jeans!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01HE CACKLES

0:04:02 > 0:04:04They were all about Catherine.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07I had five imaginary friends.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Top Eye.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22Ah! Then, one day, they all took a cruise to the Bermuda Triangle

0:04:22 > 0:04:24- and vanished! - ALARM BLARES

0:04:24 > 0:04:28My bear, Stanley, was kind of my imaginary friend.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30How about you Muffy? Didn't you have one?

0:04:30 > 0:04:31Me? Erm...

0:04:31 > 0:04:33well, of course!

0:04:35 > 0:04:36tonnes of them!

0:04:36 > 0:04:38I just can't think of their names right now.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40BELL RINGS

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Why didn't I have imaginary friends when I was growing up?

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Is there something wrong with my imagination?

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Oh, no, Miss Muffy!

0:04:55 > 0:04:59You come up with the most imaginative ways to spend money.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01That's true.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05Plus, you DID have an imaginary friend when you were about three.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Some creature named, er...

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Oswald...

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Something like that.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Oswald? I don't remember any Oswald.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16There are probably pictures of him in the basement.

0:05:16 > 0:05:21Let's find them! If I see what he looks like, I bet I'll remember him.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22What are we waiting for?

0:05:27 > 0:05:29It's been ages since I've been down here.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32I forgot how huge it was.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Yes. It took most of my thirties to organise.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41Now, if memory serves, I believe those drawings are in aisle 22.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Ha! Here we are.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Now, somewhere in here are...

0:05:47 > 0:05:48PHONE RINGS

0:05:50 > 0:05:51Er, yes?

0:05:51 > 0:05:52Er, no.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55The pheasant is for tomorrow night.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57HE SIGHS I'll be right there.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59I'm needed in the kitchen, Miss Muffy.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03Why don't you look around and I'll join you in a few minutes?

0:06:03 > 0:06:04- CAR WHIRS - Hm...

0:06:04 > 0:06:08Well, I guess I have to start someplace.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Oh. Muffy's taken? Oh, rats!

0:06:38 > 0:06:40I really love that name.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Well, I forgot my real name, so what do you want call me instead?

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Rex? T-Bone?

0:06:45 > 0:06:48You're not Oswald! That's for sure.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52I'd never have an imaginary friend that was so stinky!

0:06:52 > 0:06:56Give me a break! I've been living in a box for years.

0:06:58 > 0:06:59Where are we going?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01WE'RE not going anywhere!

0:07:01 > 0:07:04I'm looking for drawings I made of Oswald.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Oswald, Oswald, Oswald.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08That's all you ever talk about.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Look, don't you have something

0:07:10 > 0:07:12- better to do than follow me? - THUDDING

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Er...well, I guess I could go run and hide!

0:07:15 > 0:07:17That's a great idea. So why don't you just...

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Wait. Hide from what?

0:07:19 > 0:07:22You don't want to know. Come on!

0:07:22 > 0:07:24STOMPING

0:07:31 > 0:07:33- BOTH:- Phew!

0:07:33 > 0:07:34What was that?

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Oh! She's called Pretty Penny.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38If anything gets out of its box,

0:07:38 > 0:07:41she hunts it down and STUFFS it back in.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43I better find those drawings quickly!

0:07:47 > 0:07:50No, no, no! This is all wrong!

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Hey! That's DW.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55How'd she get down here?

0:07:55 > 0:07:57We're supposed to follow a road!

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Not a line on the floor.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Give me that map! You're useless!

0:08:01 > 0:08:05HE SIGHS If we only had Brain!

0:08:06 > 0:08:09You guys look ridiculous!

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Why are you dressed like that?

0:08:11 > 0:08:12What's wrong with the way I'm dressed?

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- SQUEAKING - Am I rusty?

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Just because we're not fashion conscious,

0:08:18 > 0:08:20it's no reason to make fun of us.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23I wasn't! Oh, forget it.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25Have you seen any drawings of Oswald?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27He's my imaginary friend.

0:08:29 > 0:08:30THEY LAUGH

0:08:30 > 0:08:32MUFFY GASPS

0:08:32 > 0:08:33What's so funny?

0:08:33 > 0:08:37You? Friends with the great and powerful Oswald?

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Never in a million years!

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Oswald is only friends with kids who have an imagination.

0:08:42 > 0:08:43SHE GASPS

0:08:43 > 0:08:44Which you don't have!

0:08:44 > 0:08:47So you might as well just give up now.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51You take that back! She has a huge imagination.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Bigger than all of yours put together.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Agh! It's a tiny stuffed elephant. Run away!

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Is there anything you're not afraid of?

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Why couldn't I have gone on a quest for dwarves and elves?

0:09:03 > 0:09:04Come on!

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Let's find that road before those flying monkeys come back.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10MUSIC: We're Off To See The Wizard

0:09:10 > 0:09:12Thank you for defending me.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14Oh, hey! What are friends for?

0:09:14 > 0:09:17So...can we have fun now? Huh?

0:09:17 > 0:09:18We could find a mud puddle

0:09:18 > 0:09:21and jump in it! SPLASHING

0:09:21 > 0:09:23YOU can do whatever you like.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25I have to find Oswald!

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Boooooring!

0:09:35 > 0:09:37THEY GASP

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Who dares approach Oswald?

0:09:40 > 0:09:42You're my imaginary friend?

0:09:43 > 0:09:45HE LAUGHS MENACINGLY

0:09:46 > 0:09:47No.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50I am what replaced him!

0:09:50 > 0:09:53You used to play with that imaginary nuisance all the time.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55Daddy, look!

0:09:55 > 0:09:59He's eating cereal with his nose!

0:09:59 > 0:10:00I can do that, too!

0:10:05 > 0:10:06Then...

0:10:06 > 0:10:08I arrived!

0:10:08 > 0:10:10In the form of toys,

0:10:10 > 0:10:11games,

0:10:11 > 0:10:13gadgets.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15And I conquered your imagination.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19Now, you're a mere thing and must be put in a box!

0:10:19 > 0:10:20FLARE

0:10:20 > 0:10:22SHE SCREAMS

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Put me down!

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Yeah! Put her down,

0:10:26 > 0:10:28you big, plastic lump! THUDDING

0:10:30 > 0:10:32Help! Help!

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Don't worry, Muffy. I'll find you. I swear!

0:10:36 > 0:10:38I don't want to be in a box!

0:10:38 > 0:10:40No! NO!

0:10:41 > 0:10:43No! No!

0:10:43 > 0:10:45CAR BEEPS

0:10:45 > 0:10:47So sorry for the delay.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50Oh! I see you found the right box.

0:10:50 > 0:10:51That's right.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55He was an elephant and his name was Waldo, not Oswald.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58It was you!

0:10:58 > 0:11:00I should have known!

0:11:00 > 0:11:02I'm sorry I called you stinky.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10He was this little pink elephant and we did everything together.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13But I didn't even remember him until just the other day.

0:11:13 > 0:11:14Cool!

0:11:14 > 0:11:16So, which explorer do you want to be?

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Elanora Jack, or Penny Pithhelmet?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Actually, I kind of feel like just taking a walk.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Do you mind playing without me?

0:11:24 > 0:11:26DOOR SHUTS

0:11:27 > 0:11:31Let's build a snow fort. No, a snow mall!

0:11:31 > 0:11:34And we'll ride ice bicycles to get from one end to the other!

0:11:34 > 0:11:35But first, I'm giving you a bath.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39You may be imaginary, but you still smell!

0:11:39 > 0:11:40Huh? But that's cologne!

0:11:40 > 0:11:43It's called Pachy Derme. All the stuffed elephants are wearing it!

0:11:46 > 0:11:48She's talking to no-one.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50Do you think she's lost her marbles?

0:11:50 > 0:11:51No.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53She's just catching up with an old friend.
