0:01:33 > 0:01:40< SNORING # It's raining, it's pouring The old man is snoring. #

0:01:45 > 0:01:48And it's driving me nuts!

0:01:49 > 0:01:52# Rain, rain, go away... #

0:01:52 > 0:01:55..Evaporate and recondense.

0:01:55 > 0:02:03Return in a low-pressure weather front on a more appropriate occasion!

0:02:05 > 0:02:07I'm bored!

0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Your homework...- Mr Ratburn!

0:02:24 > 0:02:29- Francine?- Today is Friday. - You're right.

0:02:29 > 0:02:35- Good. You'll have all weekend to do your homework.- Aw!

0:02:35 > 0:02:42Your assignment for the weekend - make sure you have loads of fun.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53Prepare a short report about what you do tomorrow.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Does that include eating?

0:02:56 > 0:02:59He said a "short" report!

0:03:01 > 0:03:09- What should I do tomorrow? - You could come to the park with us.

0:03:11 > 0:03:18Great idea! But if we play together, our reports will be the same.

0:03:18 > 0:03:23- Forget it! - Will our reports be the same?

0:03:23 > 0:03:27No. We don't have to play together ALL day.

0:03:37 > 0:03:44# Sweet and fishy, good for kids Golden delicious honey squids. #

0:03:44 > 0:03:49BOTH: YUCK! So what are we doing tomorrow?

0:03:49 > 0:03:56- WE? I'M going to the park. - YOU said you'd play with me.

0:03:56 > 0:04:03- I have to do something interesting. I'll play with you Sunday.- Grrr!

0:04:06 > 0:04:12- When are you going to the park? - I can't, it's raining.

0:04:12 > 0:04:17I guess you can play with me after all.

0:04:19 > 0:04:26I need ideas. I can't write a report about playing baby games with DW.

0:04:26 > 0:04:32At least you'll be doing something. I can't think of anything.

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Maybe I'll practise the drums.

0:04:37 > 0:04:43Which one first - Weasel Rally or Confuse The Goose?

0:04:43 > 0:04:51"A fun game combining all the thrills of weasels and racing."

0:04:55 > 0:05:00- You're doing it wrong! > - I am not! I am not!

0:05:02 > 0:05:08- What's going on, you two? - Arthur's not playing the game right.

0:05:08 > 0:05:15- I am so! I move around the board. - You're meant to be having fun.

0:05:15 > 0:05:22- Look at the boy on the box! - That boy is not playing with YOU.

0:05:22 > 0:05:28- Arthur, is there another game you can play?- I'll go set it up.

0:05:28 > 0:05:33I can't write a report on Confuse The Goose.

0:05:33 > 0:05:41- Everyone will laugh at me.- Why not read a book?- That's quiet....eh, fun.

0:05:43 > 0:05:48Mom and Dad said I didn't have to play with you.

0:05:48 > 0:05:55Mom! Arthur said YOU said he didn't have to play with me!

0:05:55 > 0:06:03- I don't know what you can do, Arthur. - It's so boring here.- I'm ready!

0:06:03 > 0:06:09Mm-hm! Mm-hm!

0:06:09 > 0:06:15Just watch wrestling until the rain stops. How long can it rain for?

0:06:15 > 0:06:22'This system is very similar to a monsoon when it rains for a month.'

0:06:22 > 0:06:26Arthur? Are you still there?

0:06:26 > 0:06:33It would be SO hard to play ONE game of Confuse The Goose with me(!)

0:06:33 > 0:06:41- "Once upon a time..."- Let me guess. They live happily ever after, right?

0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Right.- I knew it.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46BORING!

0:06:46 > 0:06:49SHOUTING

0:06:57 > 0:07:00SCREAMING, DOG BARKS

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Everybody, freeze!

0:07:18 > 0:07:21Arthur's trying to bite my nose.

0:07:21 > 0:07:29- Is that any way to treat a book?- No, but SHE didn't want me to read it.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Why don't you draw?

0:07:33 > 0:07:40- What did you draw?- A dog and he's bored.- I drew a stick.- A stick?!

0:07:40 > 0:07:45From the park where you promised to take me!

0:07:45 > 0:07:50- I never promised!- Did too!- Did not!

0:07:50 > 0:07:56- We'll never get anything done. - Did too!- Did not!- Did not!

0:08:00 > 0:08:04Have fun at Grandma's!

0:08:04 > 0:08:11- It's raining! We'll die out here! - Come on!

0:08:13 > 0:08:18- If you'd behaved, we'd still be dry. - Me?!

0:08:18 > 0:08:22I'm the cute one! YOU'RE annoying.

0:08:22 > 0:08:29Oh, great(!) A really exciting report about visiting my grandma(!)

0:08:29 > 0:08:34"I went to my grandma's. She's nice. The end."

0:08:34 > 0:08:39- I'm doomed. - Hurry up! Come in, children.

0:08:39 > 0:08:48- This is only good weather for ducks. - Quack-quack. Beautiful weather!

0:08:48 > 0:08:55- I thought if you were bored, you might help me...- ..Watch TV?

0:08:55 > 0:09:00No, Arthur. Help me clean out the attic.

0:09:00 > 0:09:06- But cleaning is boring. Look at all this stuff.- Wow!

0:09:06 > 0:09:13I was starting when your dad begged me...I decided to invite you over.

0:09:18 > 0:09:25- This is kind of creepy.- That was your father's. So were these.

0:09:25 > 0:09:32- It's a dress with legs! - They're bell-bottom pants, silly.

0:09:32 > 0:09:40- I have a picture of him in them. - Hello, hello, hello.- Here it is.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46Flip that switch, Arthur.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Daddy's a goof!

0:09:53 > 0:09:58- Where's the hurliewhirl? - It wasn't built yet.

0:10:03 > 0:10:08If that was Wonderworld, the mall would be right there.

0:10:08 > 0:10:14- They closed the wildlife reserve to build the mall.- Really?

0:10:26 > 0:10:32"Then my dad made me stop drumming so I watched wrestling."

0:10:32 > 0:10:39"After watching eight hours of wrestling, I hope to be a wrestler.

0:10:39 > 0:10:44"Then I could pulverise people and get paid!"

0:10:44 > 0:10:49"I watched wrestling all day.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53"It was very...interesting.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55< "The end."

0:10:55 > 0:11:02Boy, it's like living through the most boring day ever twice!

0:11:04 > 0:11:07Arthur, you're next.

0:11:10 > 0:11:16- "On Saturday, I went to my grandma's..."- Fascinating(!)

0:11:16 > 0:11:21No, it wasn't boring. Grandma!

0:11:27 > 0:11:32This is when my house was the only one on the block.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Comics cost 25 cents!

0:11:35 > 0:11:37Wow! Cool!

0:11:37 > 0:11:41That's the high school.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Do you know who that boy is?

0:11:46 > 0:11:50That's Mr Hayne - your principal.

0:11:53 > 0:11:59- My grandma knows so much cool stuff. - Will OUR grandparents know about it?

0:11:59 > 0:12:04Probably even more! Why not ask them?

0:12:04 > 0:12:08Here comes somebody you might recognise.

0:12:12 > 0:12:18That boy is Mr Ratburn!

0:12:36 > 0:12:43My grandma is great. She knows everything a grown-up oughta know.

0:12:43 > 0:12:49- And when Bionic Buddy's about to escape from Dr Warthog...- Who?

0:12:49 > 0:12:57He's part of the Rat Gang, David. Get with the programme. ..Go on.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01'She's always there if someone gets sick.'

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Safe!

0:13:04 > 0:13:09There's only one thing you never want to hear her say.

0:13:09 > 0:13:14Arthur! DW! Cookies!

0:13:16 > 0:13:20Kids? Mm. They were here a minute ago.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Wait! Come back!

0:13:35 > 0:13:39- The kids' doctor is Dr...- ..Bailey.

0:13:39 > 0:13:46- His number...- ..On the refrigerator next to the numbers where you'll be.

0:13:46 > 0:13:52Thanks, Thora. We'll be back when my dad's better.

0:13:52 > 0:14:00I love taking care of these kids. I'll cook them something special.

0:14:02 > 0:14:08- There's money so you can order in.- I know you think I'm a terrible cook.

0:14:08 > 0:14:15That's cos you're a professional. I've got a new recipe to try.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22Grace, I'd be happy to help out.

0:14:22 > 0:14:27One tablespoon...

0:14:27 > 0:14:33Well, it seems like short notice, but it should be no problem.

0:14:33 > 0:14:40Why don't you and Carole come by tonight and we'll finalise?

0:14:47 > 0:14:52It's the recipe for my topographical map of Mexico.

0:14:52 > 0:15:00- We could pretend to be sick.- No way! She'd just make us her chicken soup.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Puke-arama!

0:15:02 > 0:15:09- Maybe it won't be that bad. - Remember last Thanksgiving...

0:15:09 > 0:15:15when Grandma made pecan pie?

0:15:16 > 0:15:18CRUNCH

0:15:20 > 0:15:24You should take the nuts out of their shells.

0:15:24 > 0:15:30- Why not tell her her cooking is bad? - And hurt her feelings?

0:15:30 > 0:15:37- You're right. Hey! I know who'll eat it!- Kids! Dinner!

0:15:44 > 0:15:49Hold on, Carole. Holler if you want more, kids.

0:15:49 > 0:15:54We've only got two days to get this in order...

0:15:54 > 0:16:01- Spread it around so it looks like you ate some.- Maybe it's not too bad.

0:16:04 > 0:16:09Arthur, you're the bravest big brother ever.

0:16:13 > 0:16:18- Trade you! Look! Yum, yum! - DW, leave Powell alone.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22Can't I just taste it?

0:16:22 > 0:16:25He's not as dumb as he looks.

0:16:27 > 0:16:32- Who'd like pudding?- Em...

0:16:32 > 0:16:37It may have been on the stove a bit long. I was phoning.

0:16:37 > 0:16:44- Are you going to run the bingo again?- This year it's a bake sale.

0:16:44 > 0:16:52- Guess who's in charge?- You... You're gonna cook for other people?

0:16:52 > 0:16:57Say, maybe you kids could help me make signs.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01Scrape off the burnt bits and it'll be fine.

0:17:01 > 0:17:08That doesn't sound so bad to me. You need a sales plan. ..Ah!

0:17:10 > 0:17:15- What's that?- Who says you have to tell people it's food?

0:17:15 > 0:17:21You could tell people they're for exercise.

0:17:28 > 0:17:36Or maybe you could use it for clay and make a statue. It'd last forever.

0:17:52 > 0:18:00- I don't think so, Buster.- Well, then, I guess...you've got no choice.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03You'll have to tell her the truth.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07I was afraid you'd say that.

0:18:13 > 0:18:21- Catch!- Tomatoes?!- Can't make cookies without breaking a few tomatoes!

0:18:26 > 0:18:33We're sure to hook a lot of the old girls with your wonderful flyers.

0:18:33 > 0:18:41Grandma...there's something I need to tell you. It's your cooking.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45It's just that...

0:18:45 > 0:18:47It kind of tastes...

0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Thora!- Well, hello, Sarah!

0:18:51 > 0:18:58I heard a blurb on the radio for our bake sale. How did you do it?

0:19:00 > 0:19:07Arthur, the good ship PTA would be sunk in days without your gran.

0:19:07 > 0:19:11- You must be awfully proud.- Ye..ah.

0:19:11 > 0:19:19I'll just mosey on back to the old homestead. Do you want a hand, Thora?

0:19:19 > 0:19:24Yes! I mean, don't you need help?

0:19:24 > 0:19:31I already have two assistants. I expect you to have plenty cobbler.

0:19:33 > 0:19:39That's very grown up of you to offer to help, but it's all under control.

0:19:39 > 0:19:46- Oops! Nothing to worry about.- But you said we were your assistants.

0:19:46 > 0:19:54Cooking runs in our family. Your father started at your age, Arthur.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56I believe it.

0:19:56 > 0:20:03We have to change our names so no-one knows we had anything to do with it.

0:20:03 > 0:20:12- If we could just keep people from buying them.- I'm Mrs B Forkenstern.

0:20:12 > 0:20:18Wait a minute, DW! I know how to stop people buying those cookies.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22- How?!- Just wait till tomorrow.

0:20:22 > 0:20:29Sarah will be collecting money. If you have any problems, grab me.

0:20:29 > 0:20:38- Thora, one of the banners blew down. - Kids, finish off. I'll be back soon.

0:20:38 > 0:20:43So how'll you stop people from buying the cookies?

0:20:43 > 0:20:50Ssh! I brought my birthday money. It should be enough to buy them all.

0:20:50 > 0:20:58- You can't eat them! You're too young to die!- I won't EAT them. Come on.

0:21:01 > 0:21:07My locker's here. We'll stuff them in until...

0:21:07 > 0:21:11- Grandma!- What'll we do?

0:21:14 > 0:21:18I've got it. Come on!

0:21:18 > 0:21:22It's no good. The grommets are torn out.

0:21:22 > 0:21:29- But if you had some sticks...? - Wait here! I've got just the thing.

0:21:29 > 0:21:38- Look, Grandma! The bake sale is a big success.- What? They're all sold?

0:21:38 > 0:21:41Well...

0:21:41 > 0:21:43< CRASH!

0:21:45 > 0:21:49Mr Morris, are you all right?

0:21:52 > 0:21:58- Is Mr Morris OK?- His foot isn't broken, thank goodness.

0:21:58 > 0:22:07But something very heavy fell on it. Who put my cookies in that closet?

0:22:07 > 0:22:11Well...er...we did, Grandma.

0:22:11 > 0:22:18- Arthur, DW, but why?- We didn't want to hurt your feelings.

0:22:18 > 0:22:26Thora, there you are! It's already our best year ever.

0:22:28 > 0:22:32Sarah, tell me the truth.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Am I a bad cook?

0:22:35 > 0:22:38You? Why do you ask?

0:22:44 > 0:22:48You're just too busy to cook.

0:22:48 > 0:22:55- We still love you.- You're good at other things, like costumes.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58And when you fixed Daddy's car.

0:22:58 > 0:23:04No matter how long you slice it, you'll never make a meal from a bike.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Better to ride it.

0:23:07 > 0:23:12I suppose that's right. I'm lucky to have you three.

0:23:12 > 0:23:19- Back to work on that banner. - We'll clean up those cookies.

0:23:19 > 0:23:23Oh, and, Arthur, DW...

0:23:23 > 0:23:28thanks for telling me the truth. It took courage.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32We love you, Grandma.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Where did all the cookies go?

0:23:35 > 0:23:38They're all cleaned up! MUNCHING >

0:23:40 > 0:23:44Hey, look what I found!

0:23:44 > 0:23:49A little dirty but delightful.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55# And I say, hey!

0:23:55 > 0:24:00# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play

0:24:00 > 0:24:03# And get along with each other

0:24:03 > 0:24:05# You gotta listen to your heart

0:24:05 > 0:24:11# Listen to the beat Listen to the rhythm of the street

0:24:11 > 0:24:16# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart

0:24:16 > 0:24:21# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

0:24:21 > 0:24:27# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other

0:24:27 > 0:24:31# What a wonderful kind of day HEY! #
