0:00:510:00:57

Hey, DW!

0:00:570:00:58

-Hey!

-Whoa!

0:01:000:01:01

CRASH!

0:01:010:01:03

SNORING

0:01:050:01:07

-ALARM BUZZES

-Nadine!

0:01:080:01:09

Coming!

0:01:110:01:12

Coming!

0:01:120:01:14

Being an imaginary friend isn't easy.

0:01:140:01:17

You have to appear whenever you're summoned.

0:01:170:01:19

You always have to be in a good mood.

0:01:220:01:24

Hey, DW! How are you?

0:01:250:01:28

Oh, how I've missed you!

0:01:280:01:30

Arthur called me a bossy boots!

0:01:300:01:32

I'm not bossy!

0:01:320:01:34

Am I?

0:01:340:01:36

And you always have to tell your real friend just what they want to hear.

0:01:360:01:40

Even if it isn't "technically" true.

0:01:400:01:44

What? You?

0:01:440:01:46

Bossy? Pff!

0:01:460:01:47

You're as sweet and gentle as a little lamb.

0:01:470:01:50

I know! That brother of mine is a lying meanie!

0:01:500:01:54

Thanks, Nadine. You can go now.

0:01:540:01:56

But the hardest part about being an imaginary friend is...

0:02:020:02:05

someday, your friend will outgrow you.

0:02:050:02:08

SHE SIGHS

0:02:080:02:10

-ALARM BUZZES

-Nadine!

0:02:100:02:12

-CAMERA CLICKS

-Tres chic!

0:02:230:02:25

She'll love it! Now we just need some matching gloves.

0:02:250:02:29

No.

0:02:290:02:30

No.

0:02:300:02:31

Nope.

0:02:310:02:32

Oh! But these are perfect for me!

0:02:320:02:35

If only we were shopping for MY birthday and not Francine's.

0:02:350:02:39

Here! Try these.

0:02:390:02:41

They match your fur.

0:02:410:02:43

"What are they?"

0:02:430:02:44

Earmuffs.

0:02:440:02:46

They keep your ears warm.

0:02:460:02:48

"A tailmuff"?

0:02:480:02:50

I don't think they sell those, but we'll ask.

0:02:500:02:52

Hi, DW.

0:02:550:02:56

Who are you talking to?

0:02:560:02:58

Nadine.

0:02:580:03:00

No, Francine's the sporty one.

0:03:000:03:02

This is the rich one.

0:03:020:03:04

Nadine wants to know if you seen a tailmuff around here.

0:03:040:03:07

Preferably with sparkles.

0:03:070:03:09

Er, sorry.

0:03:090:03:11

Oh, well. I asked.

0:03:110:03:13

No, her dad sells used cars, not east-flying carpets.

0:03:130:03:17

I know. That WOULD be a lot more interesting.

0:03:170:03:21

'I swear!'

0:03:210:03:23

There was no-one there. It's like she was talking to a ghost.

0:03:230:03:27

Did you smell rotten eggs?

0:03:270:03:29

If not, it probably wasn't a ghost.

0:03:290:03:32

But it could have been a very small pixie.

0:03:320:03:35

Arthur? Has your sister been feeling OK?

0:03:350:03:38

I think so. She's just as annoying as usual.

0:03:380:03:40

Why?

0:03:400:03:41

I saw her yesterday talking to someone she called Nadine.

0:03:410:03:45

But there was no Nadine there.

0:03:450:03:47

Oh, that's just her imaginary friend.

0:03:470:03:50

I remember mine.

0:03:500:03:51

Squinty McGee.

0:03:510:03:52

He used to tell me the best stories.

0:03:520:03:56

And I ate a hole in her favourite jeans!

0:03:560:03:59

HE CACKLES

0:03:590:04:01

They were all about Catherine.

0:04:020:04:04

I had five imaginary friends.

0:04:040:04:07

Top Eye.

0:04:070:04:08

-Billy Snailgoat.

-HE BLEATS

0:04:080:04:10

-Rumpus.

-BOING BOING

0:04:100:04:12

-Pudding Pal.

-SQUELCHING

0:04:120:04:14

And, my favourite...

0:04:140:04:16

-Junior.

-ALARM BLARES

0:04:160:04:18

Ah! Then, one day, they all took a cruise to the Bermuda Triangle

0:04:180:04:22

-and vanished!

-ALARM BLARES

0:04:220:04:24

My bear, Stanley, was kind of my imaginary friend.

0:04:240:04:28

How about you Muffy? Didn't you have one?

0:04:280:04:30

Me? Erm...

0:04:300:04:31

well, of course!

0:04:310:04:33

There was, er...

0:04:330:04:34

well, er...

0:04:340:04:35

tonnes of them!

0:04:350:04:36

I just can't think of their names right now.

0:04:360:04:38

BELL RINGS

0:04:380:04:40

Why didn't I have imaginary friends when I was growing up?

0:04:470:04:50

Is there something wrong with my imagination?

0:04:500:04:53

Oh, no, Miss Muffy!

0:04:530:04:55

You come up with the most imaginative ways to spend money.

0:04:550:04:59

That's true.

0:04:590:05:01

Plus, you DID have an imaginary friend when you were about three.

0:05:010:05:05

Some creature named, er...

0:05:050:05:07

Oswald...

0:05:070:05:08

Something like that.

0:05:080:05:10

Oswald? I don't remember any Oswald.

0:05:100:05:13

There are probably pictures of him in the basement.

0:05:130:05:16

Let's find them! If I see what he looks like, I bet I'll remember him.

0:05:160:05:21

What are we waiting for?

0:05:210:05:22

It's been ages since I've been down here.

0:05:270:05:29

I forgot how huge it was.

0:05:290:05:32

Yes. It took most of my thirties to organise.

0:05:320:05:35

Now, if memory serves, I believe those drawings are in aisle 22.

0:05:370:05:41

Ha! Here we are.

0:05:430:05:45

Now, somewhere in here are...

0:05:450:05:47

PHONE RINGS

0:05:470:05:48

Er, yes?

0:05:500:05:51

Er, no.

0:05:510:05:52

The pheasant is for tomorrow night.

0:05:520:05:55

HE SIGHS I'll be right there.

0:05:550:05:57

I'm needed in the kitchen, Miss Muffy.

0:05:570:05:59

Why don't you look around and I'll join you in a few minutes?

0:05:590:06:03

-CAR WHIRS

-Hm...

0:06:030:06:04

Well, I guess I have to start someplace.

0:06:040:06:08

SHE STRUGGLES

0:06:080:06:09

SHE SCREAMS

0:06:090:06:10

-CRASHING

-Oof!

0:06:100:06:13

Woohoo! I'm free!

0:06:130:06:15

Oh, thank you. Thank you!

0:06:150:06:18

Give me a hug.

0:06:180:06:19

Ewww!

0:06:200:06:22

Get away!

0:06:220:06:23

You smell like sardines and old socks!

0:06:230:06:26

Who are you?

0:06:260:06:27

Wait, wait! I know this one!

0:06:270:06:29

I'm.... DRUM ROLL

0:06:290:06:31

Muffy!

0:06:310:06:33

No, you're not. I'm Muffy!

0:06:330:06:35

Oh. Muffy's taken? Oh, rats!

0:06:350:06:38

I really love that name.

0:06:380:06:40

Well, I forgot my real name, so what do you want call me instead?

0:06:400:06:43

Rex? T-Bone?

0:06:430:06:45

You're not Oswald! That's for sure.

0:06:450:06:48

I'd never have an imaginary friend that was so stinky!

0:06:480:06:52

Give me a break! I've been living in a box for years.

0:06:520:06:56

Where are we going?

0:06:580:06:59

WE'RE not going anywhere!

0:06:590:07:01

I'm looking for drawings I made of Oswald.

0:07:010:07:04

Oswald, Oswald, Oswald.

0:07:040:07:06

That's all you ever talk about.

0:07:060:07:08

Look, don't you have something

0:07:080:07:10

-better to do than follow me?

-THUDDING

0:07:100:07:12

Er...well, I guess I could go run and hide!

0:07:120:07:15

That's a great idea. So why don't you just...

0:07:150:07:17

Wait. Hide from what?

0:07:170:07:19

You don't want to know. Come on!

0:07:190:07:22

STOMPING

0:07:220:07:24

-BOTH:

-Phew!

0:07:310:07:33

What was that?

0:07:330:07:34

Oh! She's called Pretty Penny.

0:07:340:07:36

If anything gets out of its box,

0:07:360:07:38

she hunts it down and STUFFS it back in.

0:07:380:07:41

I better find those drawings quickly!

0:07:410:07:43

No, no, no! This is all wrong!

0:07:470:07:50

Hey! That's DW.

0:07:500:07:52

How'd she get down here?

0:07:520:07:55

We're supposed to follow a road!

0:07:550:07:57

Not a line on the floor.

0:07:570:07:59

Give me that map! You're useless!

0:07:590:08:01

HE SIGHS If we only had Brain!

0:08:010:08:05

You guys look ridiculous!

0:08:060:08:09

Why are you dressed like that?

0:08:090:08:11

What's wrong with the way I'm dressed?

0:08:110:08:12

-SQUEAKING

-Am I rusty?

0:08:120:08:15

Just because we're not fashion conscious,

0:08:150:08:18

it's no reason to make fun of us.

0:08:180:08:20

I wasn't! Oh, forget it.

0:08:200:08:23

Have you seen any drawings of Oswald?

0:08:230:08:25

He's my imaginary friend.

0:08:250:08:27

THEY LAUGH

0:08:290:08:30

MUFFY GASPS

0:08:300:08:32

What's so funny?

0:08:320:08:33

You? Friends with the great and powerful Oswald?

0:08:330:08:37

Never in a million years!

0:08:370:08:39

Oswald is only friends with kids who have an imagination.

0:08:390:08:42

SHE GASPS

0:08:420:08:43

Which you don't have!

0:08:430:08:44

So you might as well just give up now.

0:08:440:08:47

You take that back! She has a huge imagination.

0:08:470:08:51

Bigger than all of yours put together.

0:08:510:08:53

Agh! It's a tiny stuffed elephant. Run away!

0:08:530:08:57

Is there anything you're not afraid of?

0:08:570:08:59

Why couldn't I have gone on a quest for dwarves and elves?

0:08:590:09:03

Come on!

0:09:030:09:04

Let's find that road before those flying monkeys come back.

0:09:040:09:07

MUSIC: We're Off To See The Wizard

0:09:070:09:10

Thank you for defending me.

0:09:100:09:12

Oh, hey! What are friends for?

0:09:120:09:14

So...can we have fun now? Huh?

0:09:140:09:17

We could find a mud puddle

0:09:170:09:18

and jump in it! SPLASHING

0:09:180:09:21

YOU can do whatever you like.

0:09:210:09:23

I have to find Oswald!

0:09:230:09:25

Boooooring!

0:09:250:09:27

THEY GASP

0:09:350:09:37

Who dares approach Oswald?

0:09:370:09:39

You're my imaginary friend?

0:09:400:09:42

HE LAUGHS MENACINGLY

0:09:430:09:45

No.

0:09:460:09:47

I am what replaced him!

0:09:470:09:50

You used to play with that imaginary nuisance all the time.

0:09:500:09:53

Daddy, look!

0:09:540:09:55

He's eating cereal with his nose!

0:09:550:09:59

I can do that, too!

0:09:590:10:00

Then...

0:10:050:10:06

I arrived!

0:10:060:10:08

In the form of toys,

0:10:080:10:10

games,

0:10:100:10:11

gadgets.

0:10:110:10:13

And I conquered your imagination.

0:10:130:10:15

Now, you're a mere thing and must be put in a box!

0:10:150:10:19

FLARE

0:10:190:10:20

SHE SCREAMS

0:10:200:10:22

Put me down!

0:10:220:10:24

Yeah! Put her down,

0:10:240:10:26

you big, plastic lump! THUDDING

0:10:260:10:28

Help! Help!

0:10:300:10:32

Don't worry, Muffy. I'll find you. I swear!

0:10:320:10:36

I don't want to be in a box!

0:10:360:10:38

No! NO!

0:10:380:10:40

No! No!

0:10:410:10:43

CAR BEEPS

0:10:430:10:45

So sorry for the delay.

0:10:450:10:47

Oh! I see you found the right box.

0:10:470:10:50

That's right.

0:10:500:10:51

He was an elephant and his name was Waldo, not Oswald.

0:10:510:10:55

It was you!

0:10:560:10:58

I should have known!

0:10:580:11:00

I'm sorry I called you stinky.

0:11:000:11:02

He was this little pink elephant and we did everything together.

0:11:060:11:10

But I didn't even remember him until just the other day.

0:11:100:11:13

Cool!

0:11:130:11:14

So, which explorer do you want to be?

0:11:140:11:16

Elanora Jack, or Penny Pithhelmet?

0:11:160:11:18

Actually, I kind of feel like just taking a walk.

0:11:180:11:21

Do you mind playing without me?

0:11:210:11:23

DOOR SHUTS

0:11:240:11:26

Let's build a snow fort. No, a snow mall!

0:11:270:11:31

And we'll ride ice bicycles to get from one end to the other!

0:11:310:11:34

But first, I'm giving you a bath.

0:11:340:11:35

You may be imaginary, but you still smell!

0:11:350:11:39

Huh? But that's cologne!

0:11:390:11:40

It's called Pachy Derme. All the stuffed elephants are wearing it!

0:11:400:11:43

She's talking to no-one.

0:11:460:11:48

Do you think she's lost her marbles?

0:11:480:11:50

No.

0:11:500:11:51

She's just catching up with an old friend.
