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 > 0:00:17# 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
0:00:20 > 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 > 0:00:28# 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,- hey!
0:00:51 > 0:00:56# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #
0:00:56 > 0:01:00(Hey, DW.)
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- Hey!- Whoa...
0:01:02 > 0:01:04GLASS SMASHES
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Francine, you're using the wrong fork.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Huh?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22You better get that.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Lobsters aren't allowed outside of the dining room.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Come back! I don't even WANT to eat you.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Where did it go?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Here, lobster, lobster, lobster!
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Ahhh!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43A tree. Maybe lobsters can't climb.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50No... No, no!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53No!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56You couldn't DRAG me to that place.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00How is the good student like these mashed potatoes?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01I know!
0:02:01 > 0:02:06He sticks to his studies like mashed potatoes to this fork.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Little-big-man, you're smarter than you know.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13But that's not the answer I was looking for.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Like these potatoes, the good student soaks up
0:02:16 > 0:02:20the gravy of learning until it is part of him.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Huh!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Em, MC, we were just wondering,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26does Principal Haney assign you students?
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Do you get to pick?
0:02:27 > 0:02:31All I know is that I want students like these potatoes -
0:02:31 > 0:02:34firm but pliable, and eager to absorb
0:02:34 > 0:02:36the sauce of knowledge.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41He's so cool!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I can't believe he ate with us.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I think I know how we can impress him.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Meet me at my house after school.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52MC wants students who are really excited about learning.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53So here's what we'll do.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55We'll make a poster showing everything
0:02:55 > 0:02:56we learned this past year.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59But I don't think I know that much.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Buster, you've learnt tonnes of stuff in third grade.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Just check out our workbooks.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06This is from October. Remember we learned all about
0:03:06 > 0:03:07the Maya in Mexico?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12Oh, yeah. They built that pyramid, Chichen Itza.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Then in February we learnt that plants convert sunlight into energy.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17That's called photosynthesis.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Wow, I can't believe you remembered that.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Me neither.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25And here, we'll put the formula for finding
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- the area of a circle, which is pi...- r squared.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Right.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33We're running out of paper. Shall we get another sheet?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34What are they doing?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38It must be homework. Come on, that gives me an idea.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42I had no idea I knew so much.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45How can this head hold all that information?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Well, Mr Ratburn did work us pretty hard.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- DW:- Excellent work, Bud.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52One plus one DOES equal 11.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55You get an A+++.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Thanks. You can have A+++ too.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01That's a very good map of the world.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04What are you two doing?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06What does it look like? Homework.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07THEY LAUGH
0:04:07 > 0:04:09What are you laughing at?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13You two don't have to do homework. That's for big kids.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15We ARE big kids.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17We're going to kindergarten next year.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21And I know my ABCs - even the N, L, M, N, P part.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23It's L, M, N, O, P.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Oh... Every time!
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I'm never going to get it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31(Bud, remember - act cool.)
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Come on, Bud. Let's go study.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I can't believe that kindergarten teacher
0:04:35 > 0:04:38is going to give us a test on our first day.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40And we haven't even met her yet.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44She's so mean!
0:04:44 > 0:04:48And remember this? This is when we beat that other camp at tug-of-war.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Ah... How could I forget?!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I had dirt under my nails for a week.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55OK. But you have to admit it was pretty fun.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Oh, look. Here's that camp counsellor we had, Becky.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Wasn't she the best?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03She had that look down pat!
0:05:03 > 0:05:07But, why are you showing me all these photos of Camp Meadowcroak?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I want you to remember what a good time we had there.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I know. But we're going to have a great time at Camp Elysium.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Look - I already ordered these matching sun visors
0:05:17 > 0:05:19with the camp crest on them.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22They'll be perfect for when we go. Or playing...
0:05:22 > 0:05:23No, thank you.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Is it not your colour?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27But...you don't really have a colour.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I don't want it because I'm not going.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Why not?- I don't want to.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36I don't care how fancy it is. That camp just isn't for me.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38But...we made a pact.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42We said we were going to spend the summer together, no matter what.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Well, maybe we have to... break the pact.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49We don't have to do EVERYTHING together. Right?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53You're just being stubborn. You could at least try it.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55It's for a whole month.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57If I don't like it I'll be stuck there for...
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I'd like you to leave now.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Don't be mad at me. We just like different things.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04OK. I get it.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06We have nothing in common.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Stop rubbing it in.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09SHE SIGHS
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Settle down, everyone. I have an announcement to make.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18He's going to tell us what teacher we're going to get. I know it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Please, please let it be MC.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Tomorrow is the last day of school, and it can be quite distracting.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26So I'd like to take the opportunity to tell you this now.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30You've been one of the finest third grade classes I have ever had.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32It has been a pleasure teaching every one of you.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35If I have been, at times, strict and demanding,
0:06:35 > 0:06:39it is because extraordinary minds deserve to be challenged.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42You have met those challenges with great enthusiasm and perseverance,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46and in doing so, have helped me become a better teacher.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Thank you.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Now - please open your history books to page 127.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53And just like these potatoes,
0:06:53 > 0:06:57you too will absorb the gravy of learning.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03He's using the exact same potato speech on Sue-Ellen and Fern.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Doesn't he have any new material?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09You know what? I think I'm going to miss Mr Ratburn.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Me too.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13He gave such hard extra-credit assignments.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I'm going to miss him even more than you guys.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I've had him two years in a row.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22I never realised how much I learned until we started making that poster.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23What poster?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26It was something Buster and I were doing to try and impress MC.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29But...I don't really feel like impressing him any more.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Instead of wasting all that time making the poster,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35we could have been doing something for Mr Ratburn.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Wait a minute. Maybe it wasn't such a waste after all.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Meet me after school at the treehouse.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I have to spread the word.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Arthur, did you take out the trash?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I just have to finish something for school.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Can I do it in a minute?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Don't worry, Mum. I can take care of it.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57HE PLAYS THE PIANO
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Peeu!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Growing older stinks!
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Aah!
0:08:14 > 0:08:17SHE SOBS
0:08:18 > 0:08:20DW!
0:08:20 > 0:08:24I don't think I'm ready for kindergarten.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30So I don't have to do anything special for kindergarten?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Nope, not a thing. Just be yourself.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Well, that's a relief.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Being older doesn't seem like that much fun anyway.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Well - it has its perks.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Thanks, Mom. I think I need to make a call.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- And I don't have to act cool or practise my alphabet?- Nope.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51Phew! If I had to try to do that L, M, N, O, P part one more time...
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Bud! You did it. You just got it right.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Woo-hoo!, I'm a genius!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Before you say anything,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05I just want you to know that I'm not doing this for you.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I'm doing this for us.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Doing what? - Going to Camp Meadowcroak.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I'll just buy a whole crate of bug repellent, and granola bars,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17because the food is completely inedible. And I'll...
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Muffy, I don't want you to go.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22What? Then, why did you show me all of those photos of last...
0:09:22 > 0:09:25What I mean is - I know how much you want to go to this Camp Asylum.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29It's pronounced Elysium. And it means "paradise".
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Whatever. I want you to go and have a great time.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Just because we're going to different camps,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36doesn't mean we aren't still best friends.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39But...we're going to have all these separate adventures.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Aha! I thought of that. Come with me.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43MIAOW!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46It's a blog I made,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49called The Separate Adventures of Inseparable Friends.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52We can write about what happens to us, post photos.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56And here's the best part - only you and I have the password.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57What's the password?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Alice, of course. Our middle name.
0:10:00 > 0:10:05You better write every day - and bad internet service is no excuse.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I'll bring it by hand if I have to.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13It's wonderful. You made this for me?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Well...yes.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18And that's not all. We made you something else too.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Binky...
0:10:21 > 0:10:25ALL: # Dear Mr Ratburn We made this song for you
0:10:25 > 0:10:29# You showed us that with hard work there's nothing we can't do
0:10:29 > 0:10:33# From knowing long division to who won Waterloo
0:10:33 > 0:10:37# Dear Mr Ratburn We owe it all to you
0:10:37 > 0:10:41# Dear Mr Ratburn My story's plain to see
0:10:41 > 0:10:45# My mind was filled with junk Half-truths and fallacies
0:10:45 > 0:10:49# But after your instruction I think more critically
0:10:49 > 0:10:53# Now when I meet an alien I'll speak intelligently
0:10:53 > 0:10:57# Dear Mr Ratburn We made this song for you
0:10:57 > 0:11:01# Everything you've taught us will stick to us like glue
0:11:01 > 0:11:05# And from your fine example we'll know just what to do
0:11:05 > 0:11:12# Dear Mr Ratburn We owe it all to you. #
0:11:12 > 0:11:16Oh, dear. I... I seem to have something in my eye.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19That was...most impressive.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- A bit pitchy in spots but overall... - DOOR OPENS
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Oh - am I interrupting? 1,000 pardons, Nigel.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Just wanted to check out my future dojo.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Is fourth grade going to be in THIS room?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33No. Mr Cramp has actually decided he'd prefer to teach THIRD grade.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38Their minds are so much more...potato-like.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Like the rest of you, I'll be moving on to fourth grade.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44THEY CHEER
0:11:45 > 0:11:47That means I've passed!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I never thought I'd say this but...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I really hope I get Mr Ratburn.
