Hey! DW!

0:00:590:01:02

-Hey!

-Wooaah!

0:01:020:01:05

Mission Control to Explorer 17. Mission Control to Explorer 17.

0:01:120:01:17

-'This is Explorer 17. Hi, Arthur.'

-Hi, Buster. How was Jupiter?

0:01:170:01:23

Gaseous. I'll show you my pictures.

0:01:230:01:26

Show me at the Sugar Bowl - just like old times.

0:01:260:01:30

CROWD CHEERS

0:01:460:01:49

Hi, Buster. Welcome back. I have our bikes here ready to go.

0:01:520:01:57

It's great to come home to my little town.

0:01:570:02:01

-Aggh!

-Wow! This town's changed.

0:02:020:02:06

No, it's the same. Y-Y-You've changed.

0:02:110:02:15

You think it's those cosmic rays?

0:02:150:02:18

I don't think this will be just like old times.

0:02:180:02:22

No...no...no.

0:02:290:02:32

Come on, Kate, eat your breakfast.

0:02:320:02:35

I had a nightmare. Buster went into outer space and came back changed.

0:02:410:02:47

-Who's Bumster?

-Mum, make her stop. She knows who Buster is.

0:02:470:02:53

More eating and less arguing, please. I'm trying to make fried liver paste.

0:02:530:02:58

-Yuck! PHONE RINGS

-I got it!

0:02:580:03:03

Hello?

0:03:030:03:05

Yeah.

0:03:050:03:07

Yeah!

0:03:080:03:10

YEAH!

0:03:100:03:13

Arthur, are you OK?

0:03:130:03:15

'Arthur? Hello? ..Hello?'

0:03:150:03:20

Buster's coming home! He's coming home today!

0:03:200:03:23

I've never seen him so happy.

0:03:230:03:26

Buster must be bringing dessert.

0:03:260:03:29

What?!

0:03:300:03:32

Wah-hoo!

0:03:320:03:34

Buster's...

0:03:350:03:37

coming...

0:03:370:03:39

home!

0:03:390:03:41

Buster's coming home!

0:03:450:03:48

-What?!

-Strike three!

0:03:480:03:51

What?!

0:03:510:03:53

Buster pointing at a building?

0:04:040:04:07

Buster's...coming...home!

0:04:070:04:11

Hello? Arthur? Hello? Are you there?

0:04:120:04:15

Buster's coming home!

0:04:150:04:18

-Make sure there's plenty of food cos Buster eats a lot.

-I know, I know.

0:04:230:04:29

Buster'll love this cake. How many kids get to eat their own face?

0:04:320:04:37

What are you hiding from now?

0:04:410:04:43

I want Buster's exciting, cool game, so we can play it when he gets here.

0:04:430:04:49

Got it!

0:04:510:04:54

Chequers? Chequers is your exciting, cool game?!

0:04:540:04:58

I don't even hear you! # Hm-hm-hm! #

0:04:580:05:00

-He might not like it or want to be your friend any more.

-# HM-HM-HM! #

0:05:000:05:06

-He's been over the world and you've been in your room.

-# HM-HM-HM!

0:05:060:05:11

# HM-HM-HM-HM-HM-HM! #

0:05:110:05:15

Think he won't wanna be friends cos I'm not as exciting as Wisconsin?

0:05:170:05:22

My cousin went to Kentucky one summer and came back with an accent.

0:05:220:05:29

-It's like she came back a different person.

-Ahh!

0:05:290:05:33

Pip-pip! Tally-ho. Crumpets.

0:05:360:05:39

People change when they add to their knowledge.

0:05:390:05:43

Would you wanna play with baby toys?

0:05:430:05:45

No.

0:05:450:05:47

-SCREECH OF TYRES

-Buongiorno, Arthuro.

0:05:500:05:55

Arrivederci, Arthuro.

0:05:550:05:58

Hi!

0:06:020:06:04

Er...bye.

0:06:040:06:06

Look at this logically. Let's check your horoscope.

0:06:060:06:11

"You will change jobs."

0:06:120:06:15

-I don't have a job!

-How about Buster's, then?

0:06:150:06:19

-"Big changes in store."

-Aggh!

-"You feel like a new person."

0:06:190:06:24

Oh, no!

0:06:240:06:27

HE SPEAKS ORIENTAL LANGUAGE

0:06:290:06:32

DONKEY BRAYS

0:06:350:06:37

-Howdy!

-Aggh!

-Howdy, howdy, howdy!

0:06:380:06:43

Yep!

0:06:460:06:48

ELEPHANT TRUMPETS

0:06:500:06:53

No time for chequers. We're training for the Grand Nationals.

0:06:530:06:58

Whoa!

0:06:590:07:01

This can't happen, can it? Can Buster have changed that much?

0:07:040:07:09

He's done new, exciting things, but I did stuff that was just as good.

0:07:090:07:14

The Origin Of Bionic Bunny. Now I've seen it an even 100 times.

0:07:220:07:27

Wow!

0:07:300:07:32

What if Buster thinks I'm boring?

0:07:440:07:47

I called the airport. Buster's plane will arrive in two hours.

0:07:470:07:53

I only have two hours to get ready for the new Buster!

0:07:530:07:57

A book on mountain climbing, Rome, China, Wisconsin...

0:07:570:08:01

I forgot the Sahara Desert.

0:08:030:08:05

Thank you, Miss Turner.

0:08:050:08:08

-China...

-HE MUTTERS TO HIMSELF

0:08:080:08:11

-The Alps...

-MUTTERS AGAIN

0:08:110:08:15

-Antarctic penguins...

-MUTTERING

0:08:150:08:19

Oh, no!

0:08:200:08:23

Time's up. Buster's home right now!

0:08:230:08:26

'Could be another world record for the champ.

0:08:260:08:31

'In the all-Canada knitting finals, he knitted a flag and 12 tube socks

0:08:310:08:36

'in under 50 minutes.

0:08:360:08:38

-'Looks like trouble. The champ has just jabbed himself.

-I see blood.

0:08:380:08:43

-'If the garment is stained, he loses big points.'

-Mum!

0:08:430:08:48

-Did Buster call?

-No, honey.

0:08:480:08:51

CHEERING ON TV

0:08:530:08:56

I hope I know enough stuff now. I'm too nervous to read any more.

0:08:570:09:02

He's not going to call. DW was right.

0:09:050:09:08

He doesn't want to talk to me any more.

0:09:080:09:12

Arthur? ARTHUR SNIFFS

0:09:140:09:18

Buster will call as soon as he can.

0:09:180:09:21

Yeah, right, sure, whatever.

0:09:210:09:24

DOOR CLOSES

0:09:240:09:26

-Let's play chequers!

-Chequers?!

0:09:310:09:35

I will not fritter away valuable time on such triviality.

0:09:350:09:40

If that's your idea of an exciting game, perhaps you need a new friend.

0:09:400:09:46

-I

-went around the whole wide world, you know.

-Hmm!

0:09:460:09:50

-Aren't you playing an exciting game of chequers with Bus-Stop?!

-Buster!

0:09:530:09:58

I have other friends. If he doesn't come over, fine! I don't need him.

0:09:580:10:04

I've Brain and Francine and Muffy.

0:10:040:10:07

Like going abroad makes you a big man! How interesting can ruins be?

0:10:070:10:14

-Oh, it was really interesting. Hi.

-Hi.

-Hi, Bus-Stop!

0:10:140:10:19

-Hi, PW!

-You're silly!

-I was just... organising your photos.

0:10:190:10:25

Are you organising used tissues and old gum too?

0:10:250:10:30

-Go away!

-I brought some stuff for you. It's downstairs.

0:10:300:10:35

-Presents!

-Did you see the famous white cliffs of Dover in England?

0:10:350:10:40

Sure. They were white all right.

0:10:400:10:43

Wow! Is this what doctors give shots with in another country?

0:10:430:10:48

-No, that's...

-That's the famous Eiffel Tower.

0:10:480:10:52

-It's 980 feet tall, right?

-I guess. I rode on a double-decker in London.

0:10:520:10:57

-They call a truck a lorry and the trunk's the boot, right?

-I think so.

0:10:570:11:03

There was one really exciting thing I wanted to do while I was away...

0:11:030:11:08

Climb Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, 8,846 metres?

0:11:080:11:13

-No. Something exciting.

-Walk on the Great Wall Of China, in...China?

0:11:130:11:18

-No, I...

-Ride a mule down the Grand Canyon, a gorge in NW Arizona,

0:11:180:11:23

-cut by the Colorado River?

-No, no. Something exciting.

0:11:230:11:27

I wanted to play chequers with you, just like old times.

0:11:270:11:32

Really?!

0:11:320:11:34

I would have come over before, but I fell asleep and Mom didn't wake me.

0:11:350:11:41

-I thought you didn't feel like coming over.

-What, and miss this?

0:11:410:11:46

-Did you read all those?

-I just started.

0:11:470:11:51

-I can believe you think chequers is exciting!

-Yeah.

0:11:510:11:55

You sure you went around the whole wide world?

0:11:550:11:59

It was exciting before I went.

0:11:590:12:01

What'd you think, DW - he was going to be different now?

0:12:010:12:06

You know, it was worth coming back just for this.

0:12:060:12:10

-Oh!

-Yey!

-I'm glad you still like chequers.

0:12:100:12:15

-I was afraid you might have changed.

-You want some cake?

0:12:150:12:20

-My dad made it.

-Only if we can play another game of chequers after that.

0:12:200:12:25

Sure.

0:12:250:12:27

# This is the story about the face on the cake

0:12:340:12:39

# It belongs to Buster Baxter

0:12:390:12:43

# Baby boy bunny Buster Baxter was born eight years ago

0:12:430:12:47

# At first all he did was cry and eat And eat and eat and grow

0:12:470:12:52

# Eat and grow, that's all he did

0:12:520:12:54

# He met Arthur They became friends

0:12:540:12:58

# It was an historic day!

0:12:580:13:01

# They always had lots of fun They liked to read and play

0:13:010:13:06

# Then one day Buster found out he was gonna go

0:13:060:13:10

-# Gonna go, bye-bye

-Goodbye, Arthur!

0:13:100:13:14

# He went around the world a couple of times

0:13:140:13:19

# We thought he'd left the show

0:13:190:13:24

# Buster Baxter went away then he came back

0:13:240:13:28

# Buster Baxter This is what he found... #

0:13:280:13:34

It looks just like I never left.

0:13:360:13:39

Hey!

0:13:440:13:46

Great cake. I'm the only kid I know who got to eat his own face!

0:13:460:13:52

-That's exactly what I said!

-It sure feels good to be back.

0:13:520:13:57

I was afraid things would change.

0:13:570:13:59

Hey, Buster! Glad you're back. I brought the scoreboard, Arthur.

0:13:590:14:04

We started a chequer championship. Best of 5,000 games. It's a tie.

0:14:040:14:09

-We're scheduled to finish today.

-Oh, I forgot.

-Go ahead. I'll watch.

0:14:090:14:15

-There's only...70 games left.

-But there must be a way we can all play.

0:14:150:14:21

# Arthur didn't wanna leave Buster out, of that he can be proud

0:14:210:14:26

# But when you're playing chequers Three's a crowd. #

0:14:260:14:31

You can't move MY black piece.

0:14:310:14:33

-No, it's mine.

-That's mine, that's yours.

0:14:330:14:38

You're jumping your own piece.

0:14:380:14:41

Brain is red and his pieces go this way. I'm black and go that way.

0:14:410:14:46

Buster, you have some red and black,

0:14:460:14:50

-a penny, a stamp and the Monopoly shoe and you go that way.

-Wait!

0:14:500:14:55

That's... Oh, my brain hurts.

0:14:550:14:59

Maybe I should just watch.

0:14:590:15:01

-Thanks, Buster.

-It's OK. It's just nice to be back with my friends.

0:15:010:15:08

What did you say?

0:15:080:15:10

# This is the next day That's all I have to say, hey! #

0:15:100:15:16

Arthur, want to see my travel slides?

0:15:160:15:18

Oh, hi, Brain.

0:15:180:15:21

-What are you doing?

-Writing an adventure book.

-Like ours?

-Sort of.

0:15:210:15:27

But not exactly like our book.

0:15:270:15:29

You and the Brain are writing OUR book?

0:15:290:15:33

After them!

0:15:330:15:37

We're a perfect team, Friar Brain.

0:15:370:15:39

I used a simple mathematical formula.

0:15:390:15:43

This is a right triangle. Therefore, the angle of inclination

0:15:430:15:48

-and velocity of the rope was easy to determine!

-I'll get you!

0:15:480:15:54

-You changed everything.

-Some of your situations were a tad unbelievable.

0:15:570:16:02

-But it was exciting.

-Now it's logical AND exciting.

0:16:020:16:06

Buster, you weren't around. You can help now.

0:16:060:16:11

I'll have pirates riding a dinosaur into town to crush buildings.

0:16:110:16:16

-Er, no, dinosaurs and pirates never co-existed.

-Now they ride horses.

0:16:160:16:22

-Horses don't crush buildings!

-They can crush flowers.

0:16:240:16:28

# Buster Baxter went away and he came back

0:16:280:16:34

# He was starting to feel like things had changed... #

0:16:340:16:39

Carpet of Doom! Wow! I want to see that!

0:16:410:16:44

-I'll call Arthur.

-Hey, it's Buster!

-You saw Carpet of Doom without me?

0:16:440:16:51

-We...

-We forgot to call you. Sorry.

-I was about to say,

0:16:510:16:56

-we didn't go to Carpet of Doom.

-Come on!

0:16:560:17:00

Arthur wouldn't go to a Kresblain The Merry Magician movie!

0:17:000:17:06

You always said you hated Kresblain.

0:17:070:17:10

He's so...blah!

0:17:100:17:12

I used to kind of not like him, but Francine loaned me all the tapes

0:17:120:17:17

-and I caught Kresblamania!

-Ah!

0:17:170:17:21

# Kresblamania, it's insania How could Arthur have Kresblamania? #

0:17:210:17:27

We have to go, honey.

0:17:270:17:29

Bye.

0:17:290:17:31

# Kresblamania, it's insania

0:17:310:17:34

# How could Buster NOT catch Kresblamania? #

0:17:340:17:37

Did you hear that? He thinks he's so above Kresblain!

0:17:370:17:43

Going away turned Buster into an S-N-O-B.

0:17:430:17:47

No, you don't think... No!

0:17:470:17:50

Really?

0:17:510:17:53

He thinks he's better than us cos he's eaten snails.

0:17:530:17:57

Who wants to trade for a peanut butter and...more peanut butter?

0:17:570:18:03

You wouldn't like it. No snails.

0:18:030:18:07

# Life can be tough as nails

0:18:080:18:10

# When your friends think you're a guy who likes to eat snails.

0:18:100:18:16

# They forgot they learned to dance when Buster wasn't around

0:18:220:18:26

# But, boy, did Buster know it He couldn't dozy-doe it

0:18:260:18:31

# He decided to get out Before he knocked everybody down!

0:18:310:18:36

# Change partners! Promenade! Quack like a duck! #

0:18:360:18:41

He thinks he's too good for square dancing.

0:18:410:18:45

# Buster was feeling more left out With every passing day

0:18:490:18:55

# Even when he found something cool...

0:18:550:18:59

Arthur! I found a weird key! Maybe it's the key to a sports car!

0:18:590:19:04

-We can split it 50/50.

-That belongs to Mr Morris. Better put it back.

0:19:040:19:10

# Someone else had found it first When he was away... #

0:19:100:19:16

BELL RINGS

0:19:170:19:20

-Kresblain Club meeting! Don't be late!

-You wanna come?

0:19:200:19:26

No, thanks. Go ahead.

0:19:260:19:30

Well...see ya.

0:19:300:19:33

Hmm!

0:19:340:19:35

When my family used to travel a lot, I always felt out of place at home.

0:19:410:19:46

Yeah? That's exactly how I feel.

0:19:460:19:49

Kids think you're weird if you accidentally use French words.

0:19:490:19:54

-I was only in France a week.

-A week?!

0:19:540:19:58

-I was only there a day. You must be an expert.

-I didn't learn words.

0:19:580:20:03

And I didn't eat any snails. But I watched TV.

0:20:030:20:07

BIONIC BUNNY IN FRENCH

0:20:070:20:11

They have the same shows, but in French.

0:20:110:20:17

-You know how Bionic Bunny always says...

-I don't know much about TV.

0:20:170:20:22

-Oh. You want to play chequers?

-I don't like chequers. See you.

0:20:220:20:28

-I wish Buster were here.

-Why? He's changed.

0:20:310:20:37

He wouldn't write a book with us.

Because it had no snails in it! We have nothing in common any more.

0:20:400:20:45

Maybe we do. If he likes new stuff, maybe we'd like it too.

0:20:450:20:51

-I never thought of that.

-Throw a party and watch his travel slides.

0:20:510:20:56

Then we'll have that in common.

0:20:560:21:00

Yeah!

0:21:000:21:02

Wow!

0:21:040:21:06

-Great idea, Arthur.

-Didn't you notice?

-Notice what?

0:21:060:21:11

Buster isn't here!

0:21:110:21:14

-No.

-Well, that's it. He obviously doesn't want to be our friend.

0:21:160:21:21

She must be right. Why else wouldn't he come?

0:21:210:21:26

# He's a sad, sad bunny A sad, sad bunny

0:21:260:21:30

-# TV isn't funny When you're a sad, sad bunny. #

-Hey!

0:21:300:21:36

That's not very sad music.

0:21:360:21:39

PLAYS SADLY # He's a sad, sad bunny

0:21:390:21:44

# A sad, sad, sad, sad bunny... #

0:21:440:21:51

I can't believe he didn't come.

0:21:550:21:58

-What did he say when you invited him?

-Francine did it.

-No, Muffy did it.

0:21:580:22:04

I thought Brain did it.

0:22:040:22:07

Weighing the facts, I conclude that no-one invited Buster to the party.

0:22:070:22:13

Think that's why he's not here?

0:22:130:22:15

DOORBELL RINGS

# Buster Baxter and his friends got a brand-new start

0:22:220:22:28

# It was just like they'd never been apart. #

0:22:280:22:33

That looks so cool!

0:22:390:22:42

Buster, pass the popcorn.

0:22:420:22:46

-I thought it was for me.

-You ate all that popcorn?!

0:22:470:22:51

I'm glad we're having fun again.

0:22:510:22:54

I thought aliens had replaced you all with cyborg twins.

0:22:540:23:00

ALL: He's the same old Buster!

0:23:000:23:03

# That's how it happened You can see

0:23:030:23:07

# To Buster and the kids in Elwood City

0:23:070:23:12

# Now they know when you're close friends

0:23:120:23:17

# You can always get back together again. #

0:23:170:23:22

-So how long has the singing guy been around?

-What?!

0:23:220:23:26

I thought he came here with you!

0:23:260:23:29

# Buster Baxter went away and he came back

0:23:290:23:35

# Buster Baxter... # HE HUMS

0:23:350:23:39

That was weird.

0:23:400:23:42

Yeah. ..Mom!

0:23:420:23:46

There's a singing moose in front of the house!

0:23:460:23:50

# Buster Baxter! #

0:23:500:23:53

# And I say, hey!

0:23:530:23:55

# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play

0:23:550:24:01

# And get along with each other

0:24:010:24:03

# You gotta listen to your heart

0:24:030:24:06

# Listen to the beat Listen to the rhythm of the street

0:24:060:24:11

# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart

0:24:110:24:16

# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

0:24:160:24:21

# And I say... Hey!

0:24:210:24:23

# What a wonderful kind of day

0:24:230:24:25

# We can learn to work and play and get along with each other. #
