0:05:22 > 0:05:29My cousin went to Kentucky one summer and came back with an accent.

0:05:29 > 0:05:33- It's like she came back a different person.- Ahh!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15"You will change jobs."

0:06:15 > 0:06:19- I don't have a job! - How about Buster's, then?

0:06:19 > 0:06:24- "Big changes in store."- Aggh! - "You feel like a new person."

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Whoa!

0:07:04 > 0:07:09This can't happen, can it? Can Buster have changed that much?

0:07:09 > 0:07:14He's done new, exciting things, but I did stuff that was just as good.

0:07:22 > 0:07:27The Origin Of Bionic Bunny. Now I've seen it an even 100 times.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Wow!

0:07:44 > 0:07:47What if Buster thinks I'm boring?

0:07:47 > 0:07:53I called the airport. Buster's plane will arrive in two hours.

0:08:26 > 0:08:31'Could be another world record for the champ.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36'In the all-Canada knitting finals, he knitted a flag and 12 tube socks

0:08:36 > 0:08:38'in under 50 minutes.

0:08:38 > 0:08:43- 'Looks like trouble. The champ has just jabbed himself.- I see blood.

0:08:43 > 0:08:48- 'If the garment is stained, he loses big points.'- Mum!

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Did Buster call?- No, honey.

0:08:53 > 0:08:56CHEERING ON TV

0:08:57 > 0:09:02I hope I know enough stuff now. I'm too nervous to read any more.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08He's not going to call. DW was right.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12He doesn't want to talk to me any more.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18Arthur? ARTHUR SNIFFS

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Buster will call as soon as he can.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Yeah, right, sure, whatever.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26DOOR CLOSES

0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Let's play chequers!- Chequers?!

0:09:35 > 0:09:40I will not fritter away valuable time on such triviality.

0:09:40 > 0:09:46If that's your idea of an exciting game, perhaps you need a new friend.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50- I- went around the whole wide world, you know.- Hmm!

0:09:53 > 0:09:58- Aren't you playing an exciting game of chequers with Bus-Stop?!- Buster!

0:09:58 > 0:10:04I have other friends. If he doesn't come over, fine! I don't need him.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07I've Brain and Francine and Muffy.

0:10:07 > 0:10:14Like going abroad makes you a big man! How interesting can ruins be?

0:10:14 > 0:10:19- Oh, it was really interesting. Hi.- Hi.- Hi, Bus-Stop!

0:10:19 > 0:10:25- Hi, PW!- You're silly!- I was just... organising your photos.

0:10:25 > 0:10:30Are you organising used tissues and old gum too?

0:10:30 > 0:10:35- Go away!- I brought some stuff for you. It's downstairs.

0:10:35 > 0:10:40- Presents!- Did you see the famous white cliffs of Dover in England?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Sure. They were white all right.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48Wow! Is this what doctors give shots with in another country?

0:10:48 > 0:10:52- No, that's... - That's the famous Eiffel Tower.

0:10:52 > 0:10:57- It's 980 feet tall, right?- I guess. I rode on a double-decker in London.

0:10:57 > 0:11:03- They call a truck a lorry and the trunk's the boot, right?- I think so.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08There was one really exciting thing I wanted to do while I was away...

0:11:08 > 0:11:13Climb Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, 8,846 metres?

0:11:13 > 0:11:18- No. Something exciting.- Walk on the Great Wall Of China, in...China?

0:11:18 > 0:11:23- No, I...- Ride a mule down the Grand Canyon, a gorge in NW Arizona,

0:11:23 > 0:11:27- cut by the Colorado River? - No, no. Something exciting.

0:11:27 > 0:11:32I wanted to play chequers with you, just like old times.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Really?!

0:11:35 > 0:11:41I would have come over before, but I fell asleep and Mom didn't wake me.

0:11:41 > 0:11:46- I thought you didn't feel like coming over.- What, and miss this?

0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Did you read all those? - I just started.

0:11:51 > 0:11:55- I can believe you think chequers is exciting!- Yeah.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59You sure you went around the whole wide world?

0:11:59 > 0:12:01It was exciting before I went.

0:12:01 > 0:12:06What'd you think, DW - he was going to be different now?

0:12:06 > 0:12:10You know, it was worth coming back just for this.

0:12:10 > 0:12:15- Oh!- Yey! - I'm glad you still like chequers.

0:12:15 > 0:12:20- I was afraid you might have changed. - You want some cake?

0:12:20 > 0:12:25- My dad made it.- Only if we can play another game of chequers after that.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Sure.

0:12:34 > 0:12:39# This is the story about the face on the cake

0:12:39 > 0:12:43# It belongs to Buster Baxter

0:12:43 > 0:12:47# Baby boy bunny Buster Baxter was born eight years ago

0:12:47 > 0:12:52# At first all he did was cry and eat And eat and eat and grow

0:12:52 > 0:12:54# Eat and grow, that's all he did

0:12:54 > 0:12:58# He met Arthur They became friends

0:12:58 > 0:13:01# It was an historic day!

0:13:01 > 0:13:06# They always had lots of fun They liked to read and play

0:13:06 > 0:13:10# Then one day Buster found out he was gonna go

0:13:10 > 0:13:14- # Gonna go, bye-bye - Goodbye, Arthur!

0:13:14 > 0:13:19# He went around the world a couple of times

0:13:19 > 0:13:24# We thought he'd left the show

0:13:24 > 0:13:28# Buster Baxter went away then he came back

0:13:28 > 0:13:34# Buster Baxter This is what he found... #

0:13:36 > 0:13:39It looks just like I never left.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Hey!

0:13:46 > 0:13:52Great cake. I'm the only kid I know who got to eat his own face!

0:13:52 > 0:13:57- That's exactly what I said! - It sure feels good to be back.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59I was afraid things would change.

0:13:59 > 0:14:04Hey, Buster! Glad you're back. I brought the scoreboard, Arthur.

0:14:04 > 0:14:09We started a chequer championship. Best of 5,000 games. It's a tie.

0:14:09 > 0:14:15- We're scheduled to finish today. - Oh, I forgot.- Go ahead. I'll watch.

0:14:15 > 0:14:21- There's only...70 games left.- But there must be a way we can all play.

0:14:21 > 0:14:26# Arthur didn't wanna leave Buster out, of that he can be proud

0:14:26 > 0:14:31# But when you're playing chequers Three's a crowd. #

0:14:31 > 0:14:33You can't move MY black piece.

0:14:33 > 0:14:38- No, it's mine. - That's mine, that's yours.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41You're jumping your own piece.

0:14:41 > 0:14:46Brain is red and his pieces go this way. I'm black and go that way.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50Buster, you have some red and black,

0:14:50 > 0:14:55- a penny, a stamp and the Monopoly shoe and you go that way.- Wait!

0:14:55 > 0:14:59That's... Oh, my brain hurts.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Maybe I should just watch.

0:15:01 > 0:15:08- Thanks, Buster.- It's OK. It's just nice to be back with my friends.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10What did you say?

0:15:10 > 0:15:16# This is the next day That's all I have to say, hey! #

0:15:16 > 0:15:18Arthur, want to see my travel slides?

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Oh, hi, Brain.

0:15:21 > 0:15:27- What are you doing?- Writing an adventure book.- Like ours?- Sort of.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29But not exactly like our book.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33You and the Brain are writing OUR book?

0:15:33 > 0:15:37After them!

0:15:37 > 0:15:39We're a perfect team, Friar Brain.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43I used a simple mathematical formula.

0:15:43 > 0:15:48This is a right triangle. Therefore, the angle of inclination

0:15:48 > 0:15:54- and velocity of the rope was easy to determine!- I'll get you!

0:15:57 > 0:16:02- You changed everything.- Some of your situations were a tad unbelievable.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06- But it was exciting. - Now it's logical AND exciting.

0:16:06 > 0:16:11Buster, you weren't around. You can help now.

0:16:11 > 0:16:16I'll have pirates riding a dinosaur into town to crush buildings.

0:16:16 > 0:16:22- Er, no, dinosaurs and pirates never co-existed.- Now they ride horses.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Horses don't crush buildings! - They can crush flowers.

0:16:28 > 0:16:34# Buster Baxter went away and he came back

0:16:34 > 0:16:39# He was starting to feel like things had changed... #

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Carpet of Doom! Wow! I want to see that!

0:16:44 > 0:16:51- I'll call Arthur.- Hey, it's Buster! - You saw Carpet of Doom without me?

0:16:51 > 0:16:56- We...- We forgot to call you. Sorry.- I was about to say,

0:16:56 > 0:17:00- we didn't go to Carpet of Doom. - Come on!

0:17:00 > 0:17:06Arthur wouldn't go to a Kresblain The Merry Magician movie!

0:17:07 > 0:17:10You always said you hated Kresblain.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12He's so...blah!

0:17:12 > 0:17:17I used to kind of not like him, but Francine loaned me all the tapes

0:17:17 > 0:17:21- and I caught Kresblamania! - Ah!

0:17:21 > 0:17:27# Kresblamania, it's insania How could Arthur have Kresblamania? #

0:17:27 > 0:17:29We have to go, honey.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Bye.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34# Kresblamania, it's insania

0:17:34 > 0:17:37# How could Buster NOT catch Kresblamania? #

0:17:37 > 0:17:43Did you hear that? He thinks he's so above Kresblain!

0:17:43 > 0:17:47Going away turned Buster into an S-N-O-B.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50No, you don't think... No!

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Really?

0:17:53 > 0:17:57He thinks he's better than us cos he's eaten snails.

0:17:57 > 0:18:03Who wants to trade for a peanut butter and...more peanut butter?

0:18:03 > 0:18:07You wouldn't like it. No snails.

0:18:08 > 0:18:10# Life can be tough as nails

0:18:10 > 0:18:16# When your friends think you're a guy who likes to eat snails.

0:18:22 > 0:18:26# They forgot they learned to dance when Buster wasn't around

0:18:26 > 0:18:31# But, boy, did Buster know it He couldn't dozy-doe it

0:18:31 > 0:18:36# He decided to get out Before he knocked everybody down!

0:18:36 > 0:18:41# Change partners! Promenade! Quack like a duck! #

0:18:41 > 0:18:45He thinks he's too good for square dancing.

0:18:49 > 0:18:55# Buster was feeling more left out With every passing day

0:18:55 > 0:18:59# Even when he found something cool...

0:18:59 > 0:19:04Arthur! I found a weird key! Maybe it's the key to a sports car!

0:19:04 > 0:19:10- We can split it 50/50.- That belongs to Mr Morris. Better put it back.

0:19:10 > 0:19:16# Someone else had found it first When he was away... #

0:19:17 > 0:19:20BELL RINGS

0:19:20 > 0:19:26- Kresblain Club meeting! Don't be late!- You wanna come?

0:19:26 > 0:19:30No, thanks. Go ahead.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Well...see ya.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35Hmm!

0:19:41 > 0:19:46When my family used to travel a lot, I always felt out of place at home.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Yeah? That's exactly how I feel.

0:19:49 > 0:19:54Kids think you're weird if you accidentally use French words.

0:19:54 > 0:19:58- I was only in France a week. - A week?!

0:19:58 > 0:20:03- I was only there a day. You must be an expert.- I didn't learn words.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07And I didn't eat any snails. But I watched TV.

0:20:07 > 0:20:11BIONIC BUNNY IN FRENCH

0:20:11 > 0:20:17They have the same shows, but in French.

0:20:17 > 0:20:22- You know how Bionic Bunny always says...- I don't know much about TV.

0:20:22 > 0:20:28- Oh. You want to play chequers? - I don't like chequers. See you.

0:20:31 > 0:20:37- I wish Buster were here. - Why? He's changed.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40He wouldn't write a book with us.

0:20:40 > 0:20:45Because it had no snails in it! We have nothing in common any more.

0:20:45 > 0:20:51Maybe we do. If he likes new stuff, maybe we'd like it too.

0:20:51 > 0:20:56- I never thought of that.- Throw a party and watch his travel slides.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00Then we'll have that in common.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Yeah!

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Wow!

0:21:06 > 0:21:11- Great idea, Arthur. - Didn't you notice?- Notice what?

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Buster isn't here!

0:21:16 > 0:21:21- No.- Well, that's it. He obviously doesn't want to be our friend.

0:21:21 > 0:21:26She must be right. Why else wouldn't he come?

0:21:26 > 0:21:30# He's a sad, sad bunny A sad, sad bunny

0:21:30 > 0:21:36- # TV isn't funny When you're a sad, sad bunny. #- Hey!

0:22:04 > 0:22:07I thought Brain did it.

0:22:07 > 0:22:13Weighing the facts, I conclude that no-one invited Buster to the party.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Think that's why he's not here?

0:22:47 > 0:22:51- I thought it was for me. - You ate all that popcorn?!

0:22:51 > 0:22:54I'm glad we're having fun again.
