0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hey, DW!

0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Hey!- Whoa!

0:01:15 > 0:01:17You're it!

0:01:17 > 0:01:18Oh, no!

0:01:22 > 0:01:27I wonder what the world would be like if everyone was just like me.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30'No one would call anyone Four Eyes.'

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Hey, nice glasses! Thanks. Yours are cool too.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Hooray! Hooray!

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Hooray!

0:01:40 > 0:01:43'My birthday would be a national holiday.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50'Everyone would be super nice - even bank robbers.'

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Would you be so kind as to give me your money?

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Certainly, sir. My pleasure.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Thanks.

0:02:02 > 0:02:07It'd be great if there were a million me's.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Wait. If there were a million me's...

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Come play with us, Arthur.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17There'd be a million DWs!

0:02:30 > 0:02:35Attention! Mary Alice Clothwire, also known as ME

0:02:35 > 0:02:37will have a party at Waterworld.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41- You're all invited. - Waterworld? Great!

0:02:41 > 0:02:47Yeah. Especially since they added that new ride - the Slam Dunk.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49I just saw the commercial.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53'25 miles of the fastest water ride ever.'

0:02:53 > 0:02:56THEY SCREAM

0:02:56 > 0:03:01'Ending with a straight drop into icy water.'

0:03:01 > 0:03:03THEY LAUGH

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Cool.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13One for you. Thank you for coming.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17One for you. Thank you for coming. One for you...

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Sorry, Muffy, but I can't go.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Can't go? Why?

0:03:22 > 0:03:27Amusement parks are puerile diversions for unfledged tots.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Huh?- Waterworld is for little kids.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34He's wrong. You've got to be this tall to ride.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38It's me. The Brain hates me.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42Oh, Muffy, come on. You know that's not true.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46It is. I remember when the Brain went sailing with us.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49He wouldn't stand on deck with me.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Oh, wow!

0:03:56 > 0:04:01You've got to see this! There's a dolphin next to the boat!

0:04:01 > 0:04:04No, thanks. I've seen plenty at the zoo.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08Anyway, they're just mammals.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12It's not just you he doesn't like. It's all girls.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15That's crazy.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Yeah? Remember my Halloween party?

0:04:22 > 0:04:26'I was the first one to bob for apples.'

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Brain, you go next.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Do you know how many parasites are swimming in that bucket?

0:04:32 > 0:04:35I think I'll pass.

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Parasites and bacteria! I know what he was afraid of.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41Coodies.

0:04:41 > 0:04:46You're wrong, Francine. He doesn't just hate girls. He hates all of us.

0:04:46 > 0:04:51- That is ridiculous.- Oh, really? Well, listen to this.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56'The Brain and I were trying to catch frogs.'

0:04:56 > 0:04:59I got one! I got one!

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Whoa!

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Quick, get it!

0:05:06 > 0:05:09Why did you let him get away?

0:05:09 > 0:05:13Because chasing frogs is a cruel sport.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16I won't be a part of it.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20He said that he didn't like us because he was smarter than us.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24- He said that?- Yup.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28At least I think that's what he said. He used bigger words.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- He thinks he's better than us. - What a snob.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36Guys, the Brain is one of our best friends.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41- Then why won't he come to my party? - I... I don't know.

0:05:44 > 0:05:52Thanks for coming to my party, even though it's at a silly amusement park that my daddy has rented.

0:05:52 > 0:05:56I wouldn't miss it for the world. I'm not a snob like SOME people.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Er... Oh.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Hi, Binky.

0:06:02 > 0:06:07Oh, the Brain is saying hello to me. I'm so honoured.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Thank you, Mr Brain. Thank you.

0:06:20 > 0:06:26- Ahem!- Doesn't that table look a little crowded to you, Arthur?

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Or are you better than us too?

0:06:30 > 0:06:32I need to talk to you later.

0:06:36 > 0:06:41- DW!- Arthur, hide me! Don't let them get me!

0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's just a bath.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Nobody ever died from taking a bath.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53Aw!

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Thanks, Eggs Benedict Arnold!

0:06:56 > 0:07:01Some people get upset over the craziest things.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04Hey, I wonder if the Brain... Oh!

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Wait. That's it!

0:07:10 > 0:07:14Arthur. Boy am I glad to see you. Come in.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Thanks.

0:07:17 > 0:07:22- That's why they think you're a snob. - It's not true.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- I don't think I'm better than they are.- I know.

0:07:25 > 0:07:30But, Brain, why won't you go to Muffy's party?

0:07:30 > 0:07:32You wouldn't understand.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Are you afraid of something? - No. I mean...

0:07:36 > 0:07:39I'm being called for dinner. I better get home.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42But this is your house!

0:07:46 > 0:07:50Binky, I know what's wrong with the Brain. He's...

0:07:50 > 0:07:54- What are you doing behind there? - Ssshh.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Binky, no! Don't do it. Stop!

0:07:57 > 0:08:01What are you doing? I had a perfect shot at the snob.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05The Brain's not a snob. He's just afraid to go swimming.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08What? Is that true?

0:08:10 > 0:08:13HE LAUGHS

0:08:13 > 0:08:19I knew no one would understand. Now I'm the laughing stock of the class.

0:08:20 > 0:08:24I can't believe I was so insensitive.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27All this time, you were afraid of swimming.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32That's dumb.

0:08:32 > 0:08:38Yes. My hydrophobia has prevented me from engaging in a multitude of activities.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40In English, please.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42It really stinks.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Brain, we're going to cure you.

0:08:45 > 0:08:50- We are?- Yeah. Come on. I know just the thing for it.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Jump.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57But I'm afraid I'll sink.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59It's the only way to swim.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Besides, we'll save you.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05I don't want to learn to swim.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08You are GOING to learn to swim,

0:09:08 > 0:09:12and you are GOING to have fun at Waterworld.

0:09:12 > 0:09:17Er, Binky, I think we need to start with something easier.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23OK, Brain. Step onto the top step.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Good. Now take another step.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Great! Now another one.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41Muffy's party will be over before he gets up to his neck.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46My neck! No way am I going that far. I'm outta here!

0:09:51 > 0:09:57What good is an aquarium? It's just filled with fish and dumb facts.

0:09:57 > 0:10:03If we can make the Brain feel like he's in water, we can cure him.

0:10:03 > 0:10:07Did you know that sperm whales eat 60 tons of plankton a year?

0:10:07 > 0:10:11Come on, let's get this over with.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21Now, Brain, look into that fish tank and imagine you're in there.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Underwater.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Are you imagining it? Are you scared?

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Hey, I think we've cured him!

0:10:39 > 0:10:43- What went wrong?- I couldn't hold my breath any longer.

0:10:43 > 0:10:49- You weren't supposed to hold your breath.- I can't breathe underwater.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53I don't have gills. I told you this was dumb.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56- It was better than making him jump in the lake!- Was not.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Was too.- Was not.- Was too.- Was not.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04Stop it! I really appreciate you trying to help me,

0:11:04 > 0:11:06but it's not working.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10There are worse things to be afraid of - like air.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Brain, look where you...

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Or school. - Brain, watch out, you're gonna...

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Or... Whoa! Whoa!

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Whoa! Aah!

0:11:20 > 0:11:22Somebody help me!

0:11:22 > 0:11:26Oh, thank you. You guys just saved my life.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29I was really scared.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33- You know something, Brain? So was I.- Me too.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37THEY LAUGH

0:11:41 > 0:11:46That was fun. Too bad Brain couldn't come.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50Just because Brain doesn't swim doesn't mean he's not our friend.

0:11:50 > 0:11:55Oh, yeah? I didn't try to make him like swimming!

0:11:55 > 0:12:00Anyway, it would be boring if everybody was exactly the same.

0:12:00 > 0:12:05- You wouldn't have anything to fight about.- I'm glad Brain's not a snob.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07I don't like snobby people.

0:12:07 > 0:12:13By the way, Arthur, your bathing suit - it's so tacky!

0:12:13 > 0:12:14Ah!

0:12:14 > 0:12:18I'm glad the Brain's just the way he is.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22If he wasn't, the towels would be as wet as we are.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Hi, guys.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36This is the funniest joke I ever heard.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40A monkey and a banana are walking in a car...

0:12:40 > 0:12:45No, wait. An apple and a banana are driving a monkey...

0:12:45 > 0:12:49Driving a car with the monkey... No. The monkey's driving.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51I messed it up again.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54OK. A monkey's driving a banana...

0:12:54 > 0:12:59A monkey is driving a bus full of apples and bananas... Oranges.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01They're oranges.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04(A monkey is driving... Oranges...)

0:13:04 > 0:13:07HE LAUGHS

0:13:07 > 0:13:11OK. I've got it. It's funny. This is funny.

0:13:11 > 0:13:15It has to be orange because the punchline is,

0:13:15 > 0:13:18"Orange-you glad I didn't say banana."

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Oh, man! I said the punchline.

0:13:27 > 0:13:28Hi.

0:13:34 > 0:13:39Mom! DW used my pencil sharpener to sharpen crayons again!

0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Did not!- It's full of crayon!

0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Hal did it!- He doesn't have thumbs!

0:13:49 > 0:13:51Gotta go.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00"Dear Buster, how is it travelling to foreign countries?

0:14:00 > 0:14:04- "I wish DW would go to a foreign country."- I heard that!

0:14:06 > 0:14:10"Everyone is trying to raise money for the Elwood City Library.

0:14:10 > 0:14:15"Mrs McGrady is having a bake sale to buy new books.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20"For someone who doesn't like to read, Binky paid for a lot of books.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24"Mr Crosswire is raffling a new car.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27"Muffy decided to have a carnival."

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Put activity boost there.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34Ferris wheel back there.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41We need a big main show. What will raise a lot of money?

0:14:41 > 0:14:46Why don't we set up a particle accelerator?

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Then shrink people down to sub-atomic size,

0:14:59 > 0:15:04so they can examine a nucleic structure up close.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06What a thrill ride that would be!

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Is that even possible?

0:15:15 > 0:15:19She didn't say it had to be possible. She said "the best thing".

0:15:19 > 0:15:24- Huh!- Sounded cool to me. - I've got it!

0:15:24 > 0:15:27We build a shopping plaza full of clothes.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30- ALL: Urgh!- Shopping is boring.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34I'm not paying for a pasteurising agitator.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Particle accelerator. - I wish Buster were here.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41- He'd say let's be clowns.- That's it!

0:15:41 > 0:15:45- What a great idea.- It's a carnival. We can all be clowns.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47Thanks, Arthur!

0:15:48 > 0:15:50'So we agreed to all be clowns,

0:15:50 > 0:15:53'and tried out funny things.

0:15:53 > 0:15:57'I told them the joke about the shoe store.'

0:15:57 > 0:16:01And he said, "Hide, a cow's outside."

0:16:01 > 0:16:06And the other guy says, "I don't care. I'm not afraid of any cow."

0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Don't you get it?- Yeah. We get it.

0:16:13 > 0:16:18Yes. The shoe's were made of leather or cow hide.

0:16:22 > 0:16:26He's not funny. If Arthur's a clown, he'll ruin my carnival.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29I'll talk to him.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33Maybe there are other jobs you can do at the carnival.

0:16:33 > 0:16:37But I can be funny. I know it.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40I used to make Buster laugh all the time.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47'Maybe he was just being polite.

0:16:47 > 0:16:53'Once he was laughing so hard, he squirted a shake through his nose.'

0:16:54 > 0:17:00You don't squirt a thick shake out your nose just to be polite.

0:17:07 > 0:17:08Mom!

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Can I ask you a question? Am I funny?

0:17:13 > 0:17:17There's nothing funny about not practising the piano.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24'Buster, if Mom wants you to practise,

0:17:24 > 0:17:27'you practise first and ask questions later.'

0:17:27 > 0:17:29It's your turn.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34I win. Let's play again.

0:17:46 > 0:17:51Kate thinks you're funny, Arthur. So do I. Your face is hilarious.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54Har-har-har.

0:17:54 > 0:17:57You're just jealous because I'm funny.

0:17:57 > 0:18:02It's hard having a sister who's perfect. You'll get used to it.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10Everyone's laughing at me because I'm not funny.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13I mean, they're not laughing at me.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16You just need a surefire joke.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19A guy who doesn't hear well goes to buy a pair of shoes...

0:18:19 > 0:18:24- That's the joke I told. - Really? It's a very funny joke.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27Unless I tell it.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29Great. I'm a joke killer.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Everyone here can be clowns, but not Arthur.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37It was Arthur's idea. We'll hurt his feelings.

0:18:37 > 0:18:43Then make him a good clown. I won't let him wreck my carnival.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45'That's when it started, Buster.'

0:18:45 > 0:18:48I got it!

0:18:48 > 0:18:51'Suellen came to teach me to juggle.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00'After a while, she gave up.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07'Then the Brain tried to teach me jokes.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13'But I didn't understand them.'

0:19:13 > 0:19:17Don't you get it? Helium is a noble gas.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Oh.

0:19:19 > 0:19:20What?

0:19:30 > 0:19:34'I couldn't learn to make faces like Binky.

0:19:36 > 0:19:41'Muffy even hired Pickles the Clown to teach me clowning.'

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Atchoo!

0:19:46 > 0:19:50No. I'm not clowning. That was a real sneeze.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58'Pickles was allergic to dogs, but he gave me some advice.'

0:19:58 > 0:20:04Kid, forget about having huge feet and a big round nose.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Atchoo!

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Well, you heard him.

0:20:08 > 0:20:13- He's the biggest clown.- There was another kid with no sense of humour.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17He grew up to be Mr Ratburn.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Eight times seven divided by four. Quickly!

0:20:22 > 0:20:25He's the future Ratburn.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29Aagh! Run for your life!

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Girls are scientifically inexplicable.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36You said it.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38That means weird, right? Yes.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40You said it.

0:20:42 > 0:20:48- Look out, it's...- Hold it. I'm not funny. I won't be a clown.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Not everybody has to be funny.

0:20:50 > 0:20:56If everyone was funny like on TV, there'd be no reason to watch TV,

0:20:56 > 0:21:01and if nobody watched TV, the people on the shows would have no jobs,

0:21:01 > 0:21:04and the companies that advertise would go bust.

0:21:04 > 0:21:09So by not being funny, I'm saving the jobs of thousands of people

0:21:09 > 0:21:11and their families.

0:21:13 > 0:21:19Wow. I hope someday I can be as important as Arthur.

0:21:20 > 0:21:25'The day of the carnival came. I was the piano player.'

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Poor guy. I hope you're happy.

0:21:31 > 0:21:35You know, when I really think about it, I am.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44PIANO PLAYS

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Arthur looks so funny. He's in a suit.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12Listen to all those mistakes. Ah.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23Listen to those laughs.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Wow, we must be really good.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Let's take a bow.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32They're laughing at him.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Arthur, cut that out.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40Oh, sorry. I was playing with Kate.

0:22:40 > 0:22:42APPLAUSE Bravo! Encore!

0:22:42 > 0:22:46What are you doing? They like it. Arthur, keep going.

0:23:00 > 0:23:04- I can't believe everybody liked it. - Neither can I.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07You do it every day. Big deal.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11Congratulations, kid. Shake.

0:23:14 > 0:23:19What works for me didn't work for you, so you found your own way.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Yeah. How?

0:23:21 > 0:23:26Just because there's one way to do it doesn't mean it's the only way.

0:23:26 > 0:23:31Everybody's got a different style. Don't be afraid to find yours.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34I'll remember that, Mr Pickles.

0:23:36 > 0:23:42'So Francine was wrong. I was funny. I just hadn't found my style yet.

0:23:42 > 0:23:47'If only I could find a style to get an A in math. Write back soon.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49'Your friend, Arthur.'
