0:01:34 > 0:01:36Pal!

0:01:36 > 0:01:40- Ssh! Come here, boy.- Woof! Woof!

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Hang on tight.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Open the gates! They're escaping!

0:02:03 > 0:02:08Where's Friar Buster with our escape vehicle?

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Jump in!

0:02:12 > 0:02:17- Buster, there were no cars in Robin Hood's time!- Oh, yeah. Right.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Um...it's a wagon.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25They got away - after them!

0:02:28 > 0:02:34- We're a perfect team, Friar Buster. - Verily.- I'll get you yet!

0:02:46 > 0:02:51- Oh, no. I can't stand it. This is horrible.- Buster, cut it out.

0:02:51 > 0:02:56- I'm reading.- I'm ready to turn the page.- Just a minute.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Oh, the suspense. He's about to...

0:02:59 > 0:03:03Buster, would you...? Oh, man! I can't believe it.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06OK, I'm turning the page.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11- "The End." - Wow! Robin Hood was the best.

0:03:11 > 0:03:16Oh, I was in such a hurry to finish, but now I'm sorry it's over.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19I wish there were more books.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24I bet that after this story ended, they rode off for more adventures.

0:03:24 > 0:03:29Yeah. I can imagine all their great adventures.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- I can think of a hundred.- Why don't WE write an adventure book?

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- It doesn't have to end.- Yeah!

0:03:37 > 0:03:42Brigands attacking from every direction. There's no escape.

0:03:42 > 0:03:47Yo-ho! Yo-ho! Yo-ho! Yo-ho! THEY LAUGH

0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Are you writing this down? - "..Climbing ropes."

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Any on hang-gliders?- Yeah.

0:03:54 > 0:04:00There's four on hang-gliders and two riding a dinosaur.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Slow down! How do you spell apatosaurus?

0:04:07 > 0:04:11"Our heroes escaped the deadly tree house,

0:04:11 > 0:04:14"but there was more danger awaiting outside."

0:04:14 > 0:04:16After them!

0:04:30 > 0:04:31Ssh!

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Huh?

0:04:37 > 0:04:39Ssh!

0:04:39 > 0:04:46It takes a HUGE bite out of the roof, and... Oh! Sorry.

0:04:48 > 0:04:53- This is great so far.- We'll write more after school tomorrow.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01Buster, I came up with a new chapter last night.

0:05:01 > 0:05:07I think you'd better tell some jokes. Francine and Brain look sad.

0:05:07 > 0:05:12Buster! Hello? What's wrong with everybody?

0:05:12 > 0:05:19- I'm going to stay with my dad.- Oh. Read this.- Arthur! Don't you care?

0:05:19 > 0:05:23About what? Buster often spends weekends with his dad.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27- This time, I'm going to stay.- What?

0:05:39 > 0:05:44We can't take this lying down. A couple of months is nearly forever.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47I don't want to go...but I kinda do.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Since my parents got divorced,

0:05:49 > 0:05:53- I've never spent much time with my dad.- I've a plan!

0:05:53 > 0:05:59- What?- We'll do exactly what the heroes in our book would do.

0:06:01 > 0:06:07We'll dig a pit under my house for you to live in. They won't find you.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09I'll live in a pit?

0:06:09 > 0:06:14Yeah! And I'll sneak you leftovers from the table.

0:06:14 > 0:06:20- Dig!- You know, Arthur, seeing my dad is more fun than living in a pit.

0:06:20 > 0:06:25But you don't want to go...do you?

0:06:25 > 0:06:29I guess I sort of DO want to go.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Oh! I've gotta go. See you!- Aargh!

0:06:51 > 0:06:55If you're not hungry, Arthur, we can save it for later.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58- I'll eat his dessert!- DW!

0:06:58 > 0:07:04- Is it OK if I go to my room?- Sure. I'll come up and talk to you later.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10NOW can I eat his dessert?

0:07:12 > 0:07:15I thought he was my best friend.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19- But he WANTS to go.- Bet he doesn't.

0:07:19 > 0:07:25He could have lived in a pit, but he said no. What does that tell you?

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Try thinking how Buster will feel.

0:07:27 > 0:07:33- You'll lose a friend, but everything else stays the same for you.- So?

0:07:33 > 0:07:38Buster's losing ALL his friends and going to where everything is new.

0:07:38 > 0:07:44It can be scary. We moved a lot cos of my father's job. It's hard.

0:07:44 > 0:07:50Buster probably needs a best friend now more than ever.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Aagh! Ow!

0:07:55 > 0:07:58Hi! What are you doing?

0:07:58 > 0:08:03Saying goodbye to my bike. Want to come with me while I say goodbye?

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Y-Yeah...

0:08:21 > 0:08:24Goodbye, Elwood City.

0:08:24 > 0:08:30Sue Ellen says going somewhere new is tough.

0:08:30 > 0:08:35- So...it's OK if you're scared. - Thanks.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39I bet I'll never find another tree house like that one,

0:08:39 > 0:08:44that can fly to outer space and go back in time and become invisible.

0:08:44 > 0:08:49- It'll still be here when you get back.- Yeah.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Goodbye!- Goodbye, Arthur.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03Goodbye, Buster.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16Oh, no!

0:09:16 > 0:09:19What is it? What's wrong?

0:09:19 > 0:09:25We forgot to talk about how we'd finish writing our book. Oh, man!

0:09:25 > 0:09:28I can't believe he's gone.

0:09:28 > 0:09:33- Hi, Arthur. Want to go to the Sugar Bowl?- Yeah. I'll call Buster...

0:09:33 > 0:09:36Oh. I forgot.

0:09:40 > 0:09:44Use the Force, Arthur!

0:09:44 > 0:09:50- What are you talking about?- I don't know! I just thought it was funny.

0:09:50 > 0:09:55I wrote a letter to Buster, but I need the address.

0:09:55 > 0:10:00- I can give you the address, but he's not at home now.- What do you mean?

0:10:00 > 0:10:04Since his dad's a pilot, Buster's travelling.

0:10:04 > 0:10:09- So he'll never get my letter? - He will eventually.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12I know how you feel. I miss him, too.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16He'll be back. He's not gone forever.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24He's gone forever. I know it.

0:10:24 > 0:10:29- This package came for you, Arthur. - It's from Buster!

0:10:29 > 0:10:34He spells Read wrong! He can read all right, but he can't write Read!

0:10:35 > 0:10:40This is a plane just like his dad flies. Cool!

0:10:40 > 0:10:46They went to this building, and he wrote the next chapter of our book.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48There's a list of places he's going

0:10:48 > 0:10:52so I can get letters to him. Paris, New York, Walla Walla...

0:10:52 > 0:10:56Where's Walla Walla? What's Walla Walla?

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Surrender!

0:11:23 > 0:11:26Fools! You can't escape us!

0:11:32 > 0:11:35This is how chocolate is made...

0:11:39 > 0:11:45- We have to save the tourists! - And the chocolate!

0:11:45 > 0:11:48This is the best chapter yet.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52It happens in the places he went. I feel like I was there myself.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55It's the next chapter from Arthur,

0:11:55 > 0:11:59and all the places he wants me to check out for our story.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02That sounds fun.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04Where are the sewers?

0:12:04 > 0:12:09You'll be surprised how fast time goes. Buster will be back soon.

0:12:09 > 0:12:14I DO miss him, but I don't mind if he doesn't come back for a while.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18- You don't?! - No. He's having a lot of fun.

0:12:18 > 0:12:23And I've just had an idea for our second adventure book.

0:12:23 > 0:12:29There's a lot more places he has to go to!

0:12:32 > 0:12:37I want more icing on the cakes and more cream in the custard.

0:12:37 > 0:12:42Hello. I'm Arthur Reid and I just had my 18th birthday.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46I'm now an adult and the president of a catering business.

0:12:51 > 0:12:56- Mmm! It needs more sugar. - Yes, Mr Reid.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59I like my job.

0:12:59 > 0:13:05Of course I have a chauffeur, but sometimes I like to drive.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11I also do the shopping for dinner.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15Yes, sir! Life's been good to me.

0:13:15 > 0:13:20I have a nice house... and a great son.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Hi, Daddy! I love you.

0:13:23 > 0:13:27Mom! Daddy's home!

0:13:27 > 0:13:32- Mom?!- Hi, honey. How about a hug and a big kiss?

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Aaargh!

0:13:39 > 0:13:45It's nightmares like that that make me never want to grow up!

0:13:51 > 0:13:56Swing your partner round and round!

0:13:56 > 0:14:00That's it! Keep swinging! Do-si-do!

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Binky, not so fast!

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Side couples up to the middle... high five.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Now scoop back...- Aaaah!

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Hey, watch it!- It's not my fault.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16- Binky threw me.- You too! Front and back and up to the middle,

0:14:16 > 0:14:19and then scoop back.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Binky, what are you waiting for?

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Huh? Oh!

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Uh-oh! Oh...!

0:14:29 > 0:14:34Ow! Oh! Waa-aah!

0:14:34 > 0:14:37MUSIC STOPS

0:14:37 > 0:14:40ALL: Ooh! Ow!

0:14:40 > 0:14:43This is SUCH a dumb dance!

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Arthur, next time it rains and we have square-dancing,

0:14:50 > 0:14:52- will you be my partner?- OK.

0:14:52 > 0:14:57Hey, wait a second! Who's going to be MY partner?

0:14:57 > 0:14:59Stupid shoelace!

0:14:59 > 0:15:04Sorry, Muffy - Arthur's only dancing with ME! Come on, Arthur.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07I'll give you a lift home.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10You'd think they were married!

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Something smells rotten about this.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17You don't think Arthur and Francine...?

0:15:17 > 0:15:23Please! It's SO obvious! Next time it rains, see who dances with who.

0:15:23 > 0:15:27Wow! I guess Arthur and Francine are...in love!

0:15:27 > 0:15:30I think I'm going to be sick!

0:15:33 > 0:15:37ARTHUR WHISTLES A TUNE

0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Hi, Binky.- Hey, lover-boy!

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Where's your girlfriend?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45My WHAT?!

0:15:45 > 0:15:50You know - her middle name is Alice and she's a girl.

0:15:50 > 0:15:55- You mean Muffy? - No, doofus - Francine!

0:15:55 > 0:16:00- You don't know your own girlfriend? - Francine is NOT my girlfriend!

0:16:00 > 0:16:04Don't worry - your little secret is safe with me.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Huh!

0:16:06 > 0:16:09# Arthur and Francine sitting in a tree

0:16:09 > 0:16:12# K-I-S-N-I... #

0:16:12 > 0:16:18Wait a minute. Oh... Oh, well. You know what I mean.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21Francine and me?! What a joke!

0:16:23 > 0:16:25LAUGHTER

0:16:25 > 0:16:30Francine! Want to hear something really funny?

0:16:30 > 0:16:35- Binky thinks...- Hold on, Arthur. I've got a surprise for you.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38- I found them in our basement.- Cool.

0:16:38 > 0:16:43I thought we could wear them next time there's a square dance.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Care to dance, pardner? - I'd be right proud, ma'am.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49# Swing your partner round... #

0:16:49 > 0:16:55- Hey, Arthur, what do you want to tell me?- It's not important.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58I'll tell you later.

0:17:01 > 0:17:07- See you on the field.- Hey, Muffy, I've got to break in my new mitt.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Want to use my old one? It's the best.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Wow! The glove that won last year's championship.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Too bad my hand's too small.

0:17:16 > 0:17:20Give it to Arthur. Maybe he'll catch something.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23KISSY NOISES

0:17:27 > 0:17:33Binky, I'm telling you - nothing is going on between Francine and me.

0:17:33 > 0:17:38Oh, Arthur! I almost forgot - Francine wants you to wear her mitt.

0:17:38 > 0:17:44- Here.- Wow! The glove that won last year's championship!

0:17:44 > 0:17:47Francine would never part with this.

0:17:47 > 0:17:53Unless... No way! She could never be in love with...

0:17:53 > 0:17:57Uh-oh! Arthur!

0:17:58 > 0:18:04- Ready out there, Arthur? - Gulp! Or could she?

0:18:05 > 0:18:08SLURPING

0:18:12 > 0:18:17Ah! Well, what's this big secret that you couldn't tell me

0:18:17 > 0:18:21- in front of the others? - Um, Francine...

0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Are you going to finish that? - Go ahead.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28You don't...like...

0:18:30 > 0:18:35- Oh!- I don't like what, Arthur? - Nothing.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39Forget I ever said anything. I gotta go.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43What's gotten into him?

0:18:44 > 0:18:49Arthur, that's the funniest thing I've ever heard!

0:18:49 > 0:18:51- That's what- I- thought, Buster.

0:18:51 > 0:18:56But she wants us to wear matching cowboy hats and I'm to use her mitt.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59And...I dunno what's next.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03All I can tell you is you'd better keep away from her.

0:19:03 > 0:19:09- Francine is one of my best friends! - What if she tries to kiss you?

0:19:09 > 0:19:11WHAT?!

0:19:11 > 0:19:17That's what girls do when they like you. ..Arthur? Are you OK, Arthur?

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Mr and Mrs Reid...

0:19:20 > 0:19:24I'm afraid I have some bad news.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27Your son has...cooties!

0:19:27 > 0:19:30Oh! My baby!

0:19:30 > 0:19:35Be careful! He's highly contagious!

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Arthur! Hey!

0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Hey, Arthur!- Aagh!

0:19:43 > 0:19:48- How's it going?- Great. Super. - Is something wrong?

0:19:48 > 0:19:54- You've been acting kind of strange. - Strange? Why would you think that?

0:19:54 > 0:20:00- Well, you're going into the girls' bathroom.- Ahh! Just...just kidding!

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Just a joke.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Weird.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Arthur! Over here!

0:20:11 > 0:20:16- Hi! My name's Arthur. - Hey! I was saving you a seat!

0:20:16 > 0:20:21Oh, er...thanks, Francine, but I thought I would, er...

0:20:23 > 0:20:26..meet some new kids today.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Hmph! Fine! See if I care!

0:20:29 > 0:20:34She's a friend. Not a girlfriend or anything like that.

0:20:34 > 0:20:39Just a friend who's also a girl and we're definitely not in love.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Arthur, I want to talk to you.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50Um... Er... Tag! You're it!

0:20:51 > 0:20:56Prunella, Arthur's acting weird around me. Like how?

0:20:56 > 0:20:59I tried to talk to him and he ran away.

0:20:59 > 0:21:05Hmm. Tell me something. Do his cheeks go red when you're near him?

0:21:05 > 0:21:11- Yeah! - And does he talk l-like th-this?

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Yeah! Just like that.

0:21:13 > 0:21:18Francine, I hate to say this, but I think Arthur's in love with you.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21What?! That's ridiculous!

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Nah!

0:21:25 > 0:21:30I'm sorry, Francine, but those are all signs of major love disease.

0:21:30 > 0:21:35That's the grossest thing I've EVER heard! What do I do?!

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Let him know that you don't love him.

0:21:38 > 0:21:44But be very careful what you say. You could break his heart.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51You're right. I'll have to be gentle with him.

0:21:52 > 0:21:59Arthur! Francine! I bet you two are excited for a hootenanny today!

0:21:59 > 0:22:04- Huh? But we only have square-dancing when it rains!- And it's sunny out!

0:22:04 > 0:22:08It's going to rain, all right. My elbow's acting up.

0:22:08 > 0:22:13It only does that when a storm's coming. THUNDER

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Yup. Catgut doesn't lie!

0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Agh!- Agh!- Arthur, I think...

0:22:20 > 0:22:24- We shouldn't dance... - with each other.- Right.

0:22:29 > 0:22:35OK, cowboys and cowgirls, let's see how much you remember from last week.
