0:01:51 > 0:01:53Tarantulas.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56The world's most advanced soccer cleats.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57Awesome!

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Hey there, superstar!

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Sorry about how the game ended today.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Dad, could we please go to the store tomorrow

0:02:03 > 0:02:05and buy me some new cleats?

0:02:05 > 0:02:08Oh, I'm sorry, Francine. We can't,

0:02:08 > 0:02:11because I already bought you a pair!

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Oh, thanks.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16They're...nice.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Nice, huh?

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Not what you had in mind?

0:02:20 > 0:02:21Well, I did kind of have

0:02:21 > 0:02:23my heart set on Tarantulas.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Awesome!

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Wow, 100?

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Frankie, that's a little more than I can afford.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34But, I'll tell you what,

0:02:34 > 0:02:35if you make half of that hundred,

0:02:35 > 0:02:38I'll return these and pay the other half.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Deal, superstar?- Deal!

0:02:45 > 0:02:48How am I going to make 50?

0:02:49 > 0:02:51And the toes have mega traction

0:02:51 > 0:02:53and the laces are made out of

0:02:53 > 0:02:55the same fabric they use for spacesuits.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Ooh, do they come in teal?

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Black sneakers are so last month.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02All I have to do is make 50,

0:03:02 > 0:03:04but where am I going to find a job?

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Francine, fate and falafel

0:03:07 > 0:03:08have thrust us together.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10I'm in the market for an employee.

0:03:10 > 0:03:12You are? Doing what?

0:03:12 > 0:03:13You name it.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Raking leaves, cleaning gutters,

0:03:15 > 0:03:16fertilising shrubbery,

0:03:16 > 0:03:18filling groundhog holes.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20OK. I'm up for anything.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Oh, that's so nice of you, Mrs MacGrady,

0:03:22 > 0:03:25but I think Francine may already have a job.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27- I do?- Well, OK.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29but the offer still stands

0:03:29 > 0:03:30if that one falls through.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Francine, you don't want to do that job.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Think of the blisters you'll get.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Ah! I know exactly who you should work for.

0:03:39 > 0:03:40Who?

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Me, of course!

0:03:42 > 0:03:44You? You have leaves for me to rake?

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Oh, no. Bailey does all that.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49You can be my personal assistant.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50It's the latest thing,

0:03:50 > 0:03:53according to Economist Magazine.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56But what does a personal assistant do?

0:03:56 > 0:03:59Hmm... Well, I didn't get that far into the article,

0:03:59 > 0:04:01but we'll figure something out.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Friends don't let friends do manual labour.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Now, we have to agree to a fair wage.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12I should warn you, I'm a tough negotiator.

0:04:12 > 0:04:13Eight dollars a day?

0:04:13 > 0:04:16- How about nine? - But that's more than I...

0:04:16 > 0:04:17OK, ten!

0:04:17 > 0:04:19But I'm not going a penny higher!

0:04:20 > 0:04:22You drive a hard bargain.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24What do you want me to do first?

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Well, first I need you to help me

0:04:26 > 0:04:28drink this pitcher of pumpkin smoothie

0:04:28 > 0:04:30and eat these chips and guacamole.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32I couldn't possibly finish them myself.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34That's it?

0:04:34 > 0:04:35I'm a pretty good boss, huh?

0:04:38 > 0:04:39OK, personal assistant,

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Daddy says I can add some things to my playhouse.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Should I get a treadmill or a hot tub?

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Uh... You'll probably get more use

0:04:46 > 0:04:48out of the treadmill.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Hmm... I think I'll go with the hot tub,

0:04:50 > 0:04:51but good suggestion.

0:04:53 > 0:04:54Oh, no!

0:04:54 > 0:04:57You cornered the market on Pig Valleys.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59You win another game of Megalopolis.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Muffy, shouldn't I clean or something?

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Clean? You just wiped the floor with me.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Come on, let's play again.

0:05:07 > 0:05:08Bailey, roll my dice.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Five, ten!

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Job well done.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20But I didn't do anything.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22And I'm still paying you.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Aren't I the best boss ever?

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Listen, if you're so dead set on doing something,

0:05:27 > 0:05:29why don't you change the music on your way out?

0:05:29 > 0:05:32OK. Um, Bailey?

0:05:34 > 0:05:36I heard, Miss Francine.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41FAST FIDDLE PLAYS

0:05:43 > 0:05:47So, how goes the Francine Frensky Tarantula cleats fund?

0:05:47 > 0:05:48I got a job today.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52So fast? Amazing! Doing what?

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Well, I'm.. it's kind of hard to describe.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57It's at Muffy's.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59Boy, with the size of that house?

0:05:59 > 0:06:01I'm sure I'll keep you really busy, Francine.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Oh, yeah, super, super busy.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07That's my girl.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09She's not afraid of hard work.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13What do you think will best

0:06:13 > 0:06:14bring out my toenails, Francine?

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Ruby Slipper or Scarlet Letter?

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Muffy, I'm not so sure about

0:06:19 > 0:06:21being your personal assistant any more.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Oh, no! Is it too hard?

0:06:24 > 0:06:27No. It isn't hard at all.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29I just follow you around, look at dresses

0:06:29 > 0:06:30and get my nails done.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32That isn't hard work?

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Ah, I'm exhausted!

0:06:35 > 0:06:37But, you're paying me to do a job.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40I don't feel like I'm doing anything.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Hmm, sometimes I don't understand you at all, Francine Frensky.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47OK, I'm having an epiphamaphy.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Why don't you be my life coach instead?

0:06:50 > 0:06:52What's the difference?

0:06:52 > 0:06:55A signing bonus of an extra five bucks.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56- Bailey, give her the...- Stop!

0:06:56 > 0:07:00You don't need an assistant or a life coach.

0:07:00 > 0:07:01You have Bailey.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03With him here, there's nothing for me to do at all.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Thank you, Miss Francine.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08OK, then I'll ask Bailey to leave.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10- What?- What?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Bailey, you haven't had a vacation in...

0:07:13 > 0:07:16743 days, Miss Muffy.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Exactly. You deserve a break.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21And, meanwhile, Francine can do everything you do.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25But...but tomorrow's the day I dust, Miss Muffy.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Relax.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29The dust will be here when you get back.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32That's what I'm afraid of.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Don't worry, Bailey. I can handle this.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Now, this will be a challenge.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- POSH ACCENT:- May I get you some more lemonade, Miss Muffy?

0:07:39 > 0:07:41By all means, Frensky.

0:07:44 > 0:07:45Uh...

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Let me show you where we keep the lemonade.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56For my after-school snack, Frensky, nothing fancy.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Just some brioche, Gruyere and an endive salad.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Right away, Miss Muffy.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Um, does that come in a can?

0:08:03 > 0:08:06I'll fetch the snack, Miss Francine.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08Thank you for taking the order.

0:08:08 > 0:08:09I thought you were off.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Oh, I am and having a very

0:08:11 > 0:08:13relaxing time of it, too.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Now, make sure you vacuum everything.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Even my stuffed animals.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21No problem, Miss Muffy.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Whoa, this sure is more complicated

0:08:24 > 0:08:25than the one we have.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Down, boy! Down!

0:08:32 > 0:08:33Oh, no!

0:08:33 > 0:08:36My fault, Miss Francine.

0:08:36 > 0:08:37I should have warned you,

0:08:37 > 0:08:40you had it on the black hole setting.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Why don't I just finish up in here?

0:08:42 > 0:08:44You've already done most of it.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Frensky! I'm thirsty!

0:08:50 > 0:08:52Well, OK,

0:08:52 > 0:08:55but I'll handle everything else.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Frensky, you brought me the wrong clutch purse.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Please run upstairs and get me the one with the gold clasps.

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Oh, and while you're there, could you find my other earring?

0:09:06 > 0:09:10Should I do that before or after I serve you your smoothie?

0:09:10 > 0:09:11What? Forget about that!

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Get a needle and thread.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15- My opera gown needs hemming!- Um...

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Oh, no! You've ruined it!

0:09:18 > 0:09:19No, no, it's not ruined.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21I'll just get some water and...

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Oops, now it's ruined.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26What was that ripping sound?

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Have you printed out my homework yet on the laser printer?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30I'm on it, Muffy!

0:09:30 > 0:09:32I just happened to pass by the printer.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Here's your homework, Miss Muffy.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36I don't want to interfere, Miss Francine,

0:09:36 > 0:09:37but if I quickly stitch up that gown,

0:09:37 > 0:09:39whip up a new batch of smoothies

0:09:39 > 0:09:41and locate the earring,

0:09:41 > 0:09:43that might free you up to do...erm...

0:09:43 > 0:09:45..something else.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48SHE SIGHS

0:09:49 > 0:09:51And Frensky, before you go,

0:09:51 > 0:09:53please polish my snow globe collection.

0:09:53 > 0:09:54Now, hurry, Daddy.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56We'll be late for the opera.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Are you sure you're OK to drive, sir?

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Ah, relax, Bailey.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02It's your vacation.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Bailey, I don't know how you do it.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09It is a gift.

0:10:10 > 0:10:11I'm exhausted.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Maybe I should just give up.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Those cheaper cleats aren't so bad.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Miss Francine, I have many talents,

0:10:18 > 0:10:20but for fatherly advice,

0:10:20 > 0:10:22I suggest looking over there.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Dad! But what are you doing here?

0:10:26 > 0:10:27Hey, kiddo.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29I took an extra shift to earn my share of your cleats.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31I bet those Tarantulas are going

0:10:31 > 0:10:33to feel good when you put them on, huh?

0:10:33 > 0:10:34We sure earned them.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Door-to-door service, Miss Muffy.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Francine, I'm going to have to let you go.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Let me go?

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Why didn't you tell me before

0:10:48 > 0:10:50I pedalled you all the way to school?

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Bailey needed to sleep in.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54The poor man has never worked so hard.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56And it's his vacation.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57So, here.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01- SHE GASPS - You bought the Tarantulas?

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Think of it as an early retirement gift.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07I can't take them.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10Thanks, Muffy, but I can't.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11Who turns down free shoes?

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Does this mean you won't stop working for me?

0:11:15 > 0:11:17I've got a better idea.

0:11:28 > 0:11:29There you go!

0:11:29 > 0:11:31My azalea bushes are sure going to miss you.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32Enjoy your cleats, dear.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Thanks, Mrs MacGrady,

0:11:34 > 0:11:36but could I work one more day or two?

0:11:36 > 0:11:38There's something else I want to pay for.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52You played like your feet had wings on them!

0:11:52 > 0:11:53They did.

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Now, who's up for ice cream?

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Uh, uh, Dad.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00This time, it's on me.
