0:00:02 > 0:00:06# Every day you walk down the street Everybody that you meet
0:00:06 > 0:00:11# Has an original point of view
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- # And I say, hey!- Hey!
0:00:13 > 0:00:18# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play
0:00:18 > 0:00:21# And get along with each other
0:00:21 > 0:00:26# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat
0:00:26 > 0:00:28# Listen to the rhythm of the street
0:00:28 > 0:00:33# Get together and make things better By working together
0:00:33 > 0:00:37# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:00:37 > 0:00:43# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start
0:00:43 > 0:00:48- # And I say, hey!- Hey! - What a wonderful kind of day
0:00:48 > 0:00:53# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other
0:00:53 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day - hey! What a wonderful kind of day - HEY! #
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hey, DW!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Hey!- Whoa!
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Last night, DW and I stayed at Grandma Thora's
0:01:11 > 0:01:14and learned some terrible things.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18After supper, what if we play Parcheesi?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Thanks, but we'd prefer to watch TV.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Well, you know, I don't have cable.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28But I do get public television clear as a bell.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Aw.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31Aw.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Then it got worse.
0:01:33 > 0:01:39I'm afraid I don't have any goodies. My doctor is strict with me.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43But here are some no-salt, low-fat potato chips.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47And if that wasn't bad enough...
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- Argh!- What?!- It's teeth. It's Grandma's teeth!
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- Yuck!- We didn't get much sleep that night.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02It's been so nice having you here. I get lonely without you sometimes.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Grandma Thora must be the saddest person in the world.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11No cable, no-taste potato chips.
0:02:11 > 0:02:17- And she has to keep her teeth in a glass!- And she's lonely without me.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Arthur, we have to do something.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Isn't that a good idea -
0:02:32 > 0:02:35a surprise party for Grandma Thora?
0:02:35 > 0:02:40- But what's the occasion?- The kids are upset because Grandma seems sad.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43It's actually a great idea.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Sort of a Grandma Thora appreciation day. I like it.
0:02:47 > 0:02:54- We could invite all her friends.- And decorate the house with balloons.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- It was OUR idea! - And we want to do it by ourselves.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- Planning a party is a lot of work. - How hard can it be?
0:03:05 > 0:03:09You invite people and they come.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Let's keep it small - just Grandma Thora's closest friends.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Can't we rent an elephant or a zebra?
0:03:17 > 0:03:24No elephants, DW. Just a nice quiet party. ..Are you listening, Arthur?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Yes, Mom, a nice quiet party.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30A party? You're having a party?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32No. NO!
0:03:32 > 0:03:38I was asking Mrs MacGrady. It's a party for my gran. You can't come.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44I mean, you wouldn't want to come. It's a party for old people.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49If you don't want to include us with your older friends, that's OK.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53HE SNIFFS
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Oh, all right, you can come. Just don't tell anyone else.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59THEY CHEER
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Party! Party! Party! Party!
0:04:04 > 0:04:10We're ruined. We've only been planning for a day and we're ruined.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Maybe they'll forget. And anyway, it's only 25 people.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Mom will freak!
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Arthur! DW! You're so quiet. What are you up to?
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- We're writing our lists.- ..Of what we must do to make the party perfect.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Sounds very responsible. Let me know if you need help.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33BOTH: We won't!
0:04:33 > 0:04:39- Thanks for not telling.- We're in it together. If you go down, so do I.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42At least we've done the first thing.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45And tomorrow we can buy the food.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49I'm not sure I like you shopping without me.
0:04:49 > 0:04:56- Mom, we want to do everything... - By yourselves. I know. Em, OK.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Don't worry about a thing.
0:05:03 > 0:05:10- DW, come on! Oh-oh, I forgot my list!- Don't worry. I have mine.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15DW, this is just scribbles.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It is not. See - it spells...candy.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22It spells sypxth.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Oh, Arthur, I'll read and you buy.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Didn't you get anything besides candy?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35It was the only thing on DW's list.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38It was cheap and we need lots of food.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43- What do you mean? How many people did you invite?- I don't know...
0:05:43 > 0:05:45About...
0:05:45 > 0:05:51- What did you say?- I couldn't help it. They all like Grandma Thora.
0:05:51 > 0:05:57I knew he shouldn't have done it, but he never listens to me, never...
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Boy, if I were Mom, I'd make you live in the garage. What's next?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Ways to invite Grandma Thora.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Mmm...
0:06:12 > 0:06:15We'll send this right out, DW.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Zszxpaoutwr?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49What does this mean?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52That must be for me.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57"Please go to DW's house for a surprise party."
0:06:59 > 0:07:03That is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Only cos YOU didn't think of it. - We should just call her.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Which leaves only one thing to do - decorate.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Here, Arthur.
0:07:15 > 0:07:22- What is this?- It's a balloon. - Balloons are round, DW, not flat.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24It's not my fault. I've small lungs.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Now I'm going to have to blow up all the balloons,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31plus do all the decorating. You're not helping!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- How's it going? Want some help?- Yes.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- No. We're doing it ourselves.- We'll never get this finished by tomorrow!
0:07:41 > 0:07:45We will if you stop goofing around.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Hello, Thora, how nice to see you!
0:07:49 > 0:07:50BOTH: Grandma!
0:07:50 > 0:07:56You'll never believe it. My car went bust at the end of your street.
0:07:56 > 0:08:02Did you hear that, kids? Grandma's car broke down and she's coming in!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Are you all right, dear?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07We're fine, just fine.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Is everything OK in there?!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Fine, just fine!
0:08:12 > 0:08:17If this is a bad time, I can walk home and call my mechanic.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20No! No problem. Come on in.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24But how come you're staying overnight?
0:08:24 > 0:08:30Because Hank can't fix my car until tomorrow. It makes sense to stay.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35But you'll hate it. Kate snores. You'll never get your beauty rest.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39And we don't have any extra toothpaste. Arthur!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44(DW?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46(Ready.)
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Yuck!
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Remember, we have to be very, very quiet.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- SQUEAK! - AH!- Ssh!
0:09:07 > 0:09:11That's it. That's the last thing on the list.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- We can finally go to sleep. - I think you forgot something.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19"Bake the cake." Oh, no!
0:09:19 > 0:09:24- That's a pretty cake.- It's too complicated. We need a simple one -
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- like this.- Now what?
0:09:26 > 0:09:31We have to read the recipe. "1 lb flour."
0:09:31 > 0:09:33What's a lb?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35OK, skip that part.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38"Two sticks of butter...
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- "And one cup of milk." Ready?- Ready.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Turn it off!- I can't see!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Hi! What brings you here?- Mom, Dad...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Son?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57BOTH: Help!
0:10:00 > 0:10:05Here we are. One beautiful cake and four delicious cupcakes.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10This was fun. Can we stay up tomorrow?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12No!
0:10:29 > 0:10:34It's the darndest thing, Hank. You'd think they'd been up all night.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38That's fine. I'll wait for you in the driveway.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50OK, everybody, find a place to hide. Thora should be here any minute.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54You did tell Grandma to come at two?
0:10:54 > 0:10:58BOTH: Oh, no!
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- She's not answering!- I can't believe we forgot to invite Grandma
0:11:03 > 0:11:05to her own surprise party!
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Why didn't you put it on your list? - Why didn't you put it on yours?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I can't write! You know that!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14There's only one thing to do.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17PARTY!
0:11:20 > 0:11:23It's a good thing there was pizza in the freezer.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28Almost ready. Thora, could you take this tray...?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Thora!- Grandma!
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- Grandma, you came! - I was worried about you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40You were all so tired and acting so strangely. What's going on?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Nothing. Just...stay there!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Grandma, could you come here a minute?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50SURPRISE!
0:11:50 > 0:11:55But why? It's not my birthday.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- But we wanted to give you a party so you wouldn't be sad.- Sad?
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- I'm not sad. Why should I be...? - But we thought you were sad.
0:12:05 > 0:12:11- We made this party so you wouldn't be sad.- Oh, that's right, DW.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I was a little sad.
0:12:13 > 0:12:19But now, after this party, I'm the happiest grandma in the world.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21All right!
0:12:31 > 0:12:37Now that you are all gathered here, I can reveal the name of...
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Oh, em, hello...
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I don't really have anything to say.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Well, hello. Nice to see you.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51- Have you introduced the show yet, Fern?- No.- Well, speak up, sweetie.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56When Arthur does it, he looks right into the camera - like this.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- The last scene is so... - Mom, don't give it away.- But...
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Just go to the title card - maybe that swimming one.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Hi!
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Open house time, huh? Nice borders.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23- Really creative, Mrs Walters. - Thanks, Hank. Fern's creative too.
0:13:23 > 0:13:29- What do you like to do, Fern? Sing, draw, sculpt?- Read.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31100 copies, please.
0:13:31 > 0:13:37Corkie's Computers is sponsoring a children's computer workshop.
0:13:37 > 0:13:43- We should sign you up.- Why? Dad taught me about computers.- Exactly.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47You know more than anyone else. You could teach everyone.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52I have just invented artificial intelligence -
0:13:52 > 0:13:54a thinking, talking computer.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57AUDIENCE GASPS
0:13:57 > 0:14:02I will recite a poem of my own composition - 011101.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Ahem...
0:14:06 > 0:14:08011101
0:14:08 > 0:14:10001111
0:14:10 > 0:14:13000000
0:14:13 > 0:14:16110011.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Em, this is my...
0:14:27 > 0:14:32..Computer. Her computer. I began life as a chip off the old block.
0:14:32 > 0:14:38My parents were clones of one of those expensive systems,
0:14:38 > 0:14:39so we got no respect.
0:14:39 > 0:14:45But seriously, folks, the worst display space, no dual-page ads,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48no respect.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Just like an inventor I know!
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Just kidding, Fern.
0:14:56 > 0:15:012,000 signatures! I wish we had three more of you, Doria.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06Fern will be helping soon. She's a wonderful speaker.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10She could charm the fish out of a fish bowl.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Fern, tell us what you accomplished this week.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Well, I ended global warming.
0:15:17 > 0:15:24And yesterday, I found a completely natural oil-spill cleanser.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34'She's a wonderful speaker. She could charm the fish out the bowl.'
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Em...
0:15:36 > 0:15:41The state of our oceans is, em...very important...
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- SNORING - ..not very good.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48We need to, em, stop polluting... our precious...
0:15:48 > 0:15:52em, our most precious...
0:15:52 > 0:15:56resource. What I mean to say is...
0:15:56 > 0:16:02although...although our ocean has... an open house...
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Well, I hope we'll see you at the open house.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Ready to go, Fern?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- They all look different, Mrs Walters.- Yes, Arthur.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Each cookie is a different, famous landmark. Fern, pass them out.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24I'll do it. I love to distribute.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27You'll get a cookie to suit your personality.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Arthur, you get the Liberty Bell because you're cracked.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- What a pretty bracelet. - My mother bought it at a yard sale.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I think it belonged to Cleopatra.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43It says, "Made in Japan."
0:16:43 > 0:16:48That was stamped on there to fool the Romans to stop them stealing it.
0:16:51 > 0:16:56This one must be for you. I don't know what personality IT is.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01Ah-ha! These cookies contained an insidious East Bora-Borian peanut
0:17:01 > 0:17:05that turned the eater into a mindless zombie.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Another case solved by the brilliant Fern Watson!
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Holmes, it's time to feed the hound of the Baskervilles.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18What would you like more than anything in the world?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- A detective kit!- Don't be silly.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25The one thing you've always wanted is a slumber party!
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- Oh.- It's just what you need to develop your social skills.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Put that detective stuff away and we'll plan the perfect party.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37OK. I'll do the invitations.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41They're done.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Well, the design is very nice, Fern, but where's the information?
0:17:45 > 0:17:50That IS the information. It's from The Adventure Of The Dancing Men.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I have the date, time and place in secret code.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57- What if they can't decode it? - Then, they won't come.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02They don't want to come anyway. They know my party will be boring.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05No-one thinks that!
0:18:06 > 0:18:11My mom's making me go to Fern's party and it'll be boring.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15I might as well wear my sleeping bag. I'll be asleep so fast!
0:18:15 > 0:18:20But I bet her mom makes cookies and pizzas and hamburgers.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23You can't just eat the whole time.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29We'll just have to make our own party and bring our games and toys.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Fern won't mind. She'll be happy. We're saving her from being dull.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- I'll bring my portable trampoline. - I'll bring Decathlon Debbie.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42See? This party will be just great.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Mom, you don't need to stick around when everyone gets here.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- I can handle everything.- But I...
0:18:52 > 0:18:57You take charge, hostess. You won't see me until dinner.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58DOORBELL RINGS
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I need help with my luggage.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- What did you bring, Muffy?
0:19:08 > 0:19:13- - I have to be ready for all kinds of weather.- Indoors?!
0:19:16 > 0:19:18ALL: Wow!
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I have some ideas for games.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28We brought games so you won't have to worry about entertainment.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Aren't you relieved?- Oh, well...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Good!
0:19:33 > 0:19:37I win again! My bracelet is not only ancient, it's lucky!
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Can we please play something else? - I thought...
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Paddle-ball contest! - THEY GROAN
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Not something else that you'll win!
0:19:47 > 0:19:51I may not win, Sue Ellen. Nothing in life is certain.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Time for Decathlon Debbie.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- I brought Amazonia. She can wrestle Decathlon Debbie.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Decathlon Debbie doesn't wrestle!
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- I brought a label maker. What needs identifying?- Let's decide something.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Jen and Muffy should be doing this.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16They want to do what they want to do.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Hey! You ruined her hair!
0:20:18 > 0:20:22If she loses the gold medal, you're in trouble.
0:20:26 > 0:20:32< This is stupid. I can play by myself at home.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Dinner will be ready soon.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- What's wrong?- Nothing.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- What are the girls doing? - Being bored.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Ah! My bracelet! It's gone!
0:20:45 > 0:20:51Calm down. There's a simple solution to this. Where did you put it down?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55If I knew that, the bracelet wouldn't be lost!
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Get a search party. Did anyone bring walkie-talkies?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Boredom and then loss of valuables. What a disaster!
0:21:02 > 0:21:06What if my bracelet's gone forever?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- I think I know where it is. - What?! Where is it?!
0:21:09 > 0:21:14I could tell when the party began, strange forces were afoot.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19When Francine arrived, I could see the distinctive piece on her wrist.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Other guests arrived, hidden motives safely tucked away.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29As the clock struck 4, the bracelet had not left its owner's arm.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31But then...
0:21:39 > 0:21:44That's right. I took it off and I put it... Now it's gone.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46OK. Who took it?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49ALL: I didn't take it!
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Please! All in good time.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- Muffy, you took it!- I did not!
0:22:01 > 0:22:07Francine, we can't keep going back and forth with you accusing people.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- Sorry.- It was Jenna's turn to play a part in the goings-on.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Jenna, do you want to watch a video?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Jenna, you ate my bracelet?!
0:22:19 > 0:22:21ALL: Francine!
0:22:21 > 0:22:26Jenna, Mrs Walters will be mad if you make a mess in her house.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Stupid fringe.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33THUNDER ROARS
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- I don't remember a thunderstorm. - Ssh!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's atmospheric!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42But as dinner hour approached...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46My bracelet!
0:22:46 > 0:22:50So we return to the scene of the events.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55The question is, who took the bracelet and where is it now?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00It is time to reveal all.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05My bracelet!
0:23:05 > 0:23:09- So how did it end up there? - The key was Prunella's neatness.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14When I saw the table was bare, I realised someone had cleaned it.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I knew who it was.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Oh, Jenna!
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Fern, you are SO observant!
0:23:27 > 0:23:30You're a regular Encyclopedia Brown.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33He's a bit of an amateur.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36The truly great detective is...
0:23:36 > 0:23:41"..Mr Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43"They had gone a mile or two
0:23:43 > 0:23:48"when they passed a shepherd on the moor..."
0:23:48 > 0:23:51I knew this party was a good idea.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55# And I say, hey!
0:23:55 > 0:24:01# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play
0:24:01 > 0:24:03# And get along with each other
0:24:03 > 0:24:06# You gotta listen to your heart
0:24:06 > 0:24:11# Listen to the beat Listen to the rhythm of the street
0:24:11 > 0:24:17# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:24:17 > 0:24:22# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start
0:24:22 > 0:24:25# What a wonderful kind of day HEY!
0:24:25 > 0:24:30# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other
0:24:30 > 0:24:36# What a wonderful kind of day HEY! #
