0:02:55 > 0:03:00I didn't mean... It's like ear painting with no paint.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- Just think of it as music. - Right. Good one.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Sorry, sir.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Shouldn't you practise, too? It's your first-ever solo.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I know my part inside out.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42I wish I did, then I wouldn't have to lug this home.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48- Want to skate?- No, I have to tape up my drumsticks so they can't break.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Sorry, sir.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- I want to get it right. Everyone will be watching.- Binky!
0:03:57 > 0:04:03I have to do my tongue exercises. Last time, I got tongue-tied.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Sorry, sir.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Getting scared can cure the hiccups.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Nothing scares me! Hic!
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Did I tell you Mom threw away your Crazy Bus CD?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57But that's my favourite! How could she?!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Hey, it's stopped!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02You're welcome!

0:05:50 > 0:05:55I've been looking for a job, but I can't get one.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Everyone knows I played the wrong note. Are those the same hiccups?
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- I can help you get rid of them. - Get rid of them?!
0:06:05 > 0:06:10No way! These hiccups made me... Hic! ..a star!

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Gee, thanks, Mister!
0:06:27 > 0:06:32I know you! You're that kid who played D flat instead of D sharp.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Oh-h...!

0:08:34 > 0:08:38You don't need practice. You need confidence.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Walk up to that piano and say...

0:08:51 > 0:08:56And you've got to look like a musician, like this.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- Ow! That hurts my face. - Maybe you need a casual attitude.

0:11:36 > 0:11:41- I didn't hear any mistakes.- Hey, that D flat you played at the end...
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- I knew it was obvious.- ..very much as Thelonious Monk would have done.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50You have some mean jazz chops, my man.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Nobody even noticed my big mistake.

0:11:59 > 0:12:04- They just hear music. - I wanted to see Arthur mess up.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09Grandma will have to wait to see YOU mess up your pre-school play!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Hic!

0:12:25 > 0:12:30Brain and Francine are great friends but don't talk to them about sports.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Hockey players are the best athletes. They have to skate AND play at once.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- Could a hockey player play golf? - Yes.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Want to hear their best argument?
0:13:04 > 0:13:09- Hey, guys, who's the best athlete in school?- That's easy. It's me.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- Pardon my insistence upon accuracy, but it is- I.- It's ME!- It is- I!

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Arthur!
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- Out of bounds! Out of bounds! - I am not. Look at my foot.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- Your foot was on the line. You just moved it.- No way. You're cheating.

0:14:37 > 0:14:42- Let's finish the game, guys. - Yeah, my skull's getting sore.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48For Pete's sake, just ask somebody.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52You saw what happened, Arthur. You make the call.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- At first, it looked like your foot...- He wears glasses!
0:14:56 > 0:15:02- Are you gonna trust what HE sees? - Arthur is honest and trustworthy.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07There's no better kid in the school. Tell them she was out of bounds.
0:15:07 > 0:15:13You decide, even if you just agree with him because boys stick together.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- But then her foot... - Sticking up for your friend?
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Let him speak! ..Go ahead, Arthur.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23< Binky!
0:15:24 > 0:15:30- I gotta go home for dinner!- Well, there goes the ball. Game's over.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36So I guess it doesn't matter who's right any more.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I'd better go home, too.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46I don't know if she was in or out. They'll soon forget all about it.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51- Remember you promised to help me write a letter to Santa?- In May?
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Do you know many letters he gets in December? I wanna beat the rush.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- DW, would you...? - Ssh, I'm thinking!
0:16:01 > 0:16:04OK, ready.
0:16:04 > 0:16:09"Dear Santa, Is it tough being the world's most handsome man?"
0:16:09 > 0:16:14It's always nice to start with something positive.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18You're bored of nice remarks because you hear so many.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Oh, well, thank you.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26"Santa, there were just a few little problems with last year's presents."
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- Francine and The Brain are still mad at each other.- Really?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Muffy, would you hand me my pencil?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Ask The Brain. He's right there.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I wouldn't touch it.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50I might catch whatever makes her so Franciney.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Hmm!- Hmm!
0:16:54 > 0:16:59This is a speed test. Pass the questions round. You have one minute.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01'Begin.'
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Here you go, Francine.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09She only gave me one. Why don't you ask your friend, The Brain?
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Brain! - No talking allowed during the test.
0:17:13 > 0:17:19- Mr Ratburn, I didn't get a... - Time's up.- ..test.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24Francine and Brain better make up soon, or I'll never pass math.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Let go! I got it first.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35I dibbed it before you got it. You don't even know how dibs work!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38< Argh!
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Oh...
0:17:41 > 0:17:45I hope Francine and Brain aren't too mad to play together.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49They wouldn't hurt our chances of winning.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- I'm open!- Arthur!
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Argh!
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Oh!
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Why didn't you pass it to me?
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- Is that the wind blowing? I don't hear or see anyone.- Oh!
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Oh! I think I sprained my tail bone.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22If these two stay mad at each other, we'll never win another game.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27- We won't be in the play-offs.- We'll remind them they used to be friends.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Maybe if they played something that was just fun.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Ping-pong is fun! Serve, Arthur.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Oh, yeah?
0:18:43 > 0:18:44To you!
0:18:45 > 0:18:50- Well, they're playing together. - I'm not sure they're having fun.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- Take that!- Ugh!- Ugh!- Ugh! Back over to you!
0:19:02 > 0:19:07- Whose point?- I don't know. The ball appears to have vaporised.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Miniature golf?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I think they're having fun.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30That counts. Hole in one.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- Your forward is offside. - He can't be. He's on a stick.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41What's more fun than cards?!
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Do you have any sixes?- Go fish. - Go fish yourself!
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Any other ideas?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Francine and Brain will never be friends again.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58- They'll work it out themselves in time.- The play-offs are next week!
0:19:58 > 0:20:04Arthur! I need a new Santa letter, with prices for each present.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09Can you help me figure out prices in other countries?
0:20:09 > 0:20:14If he finds bargains on his travels, the savings can buy more presents.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18If we don't win soon, we're out of the play-offs.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Out of the play-offs!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24HE MAKES STRANGLING NOISES
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I think that convinced them.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Brain, here!
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Help! Help!
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Come on, Francine!
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Help!
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Oh!
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- I'm getting killed out there. I can't play another game.- Ow!
0:21:03 > 0:21:08We only have one game left. And we have to win!
0:21:08 > 0:21:11But it's against Mighty Mountain.
