0:00:53 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day - hey! What a wonderful kind of day - HEY! #
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Hey, DW!- Hey...
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Wo-oh!
0:01:08 > 0:01:10I made a purse for small change.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13It opens and closes with this string,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16and there's a pocket for credit cards.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19It's a holder for paper napkins.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24This WAS a napkin holder... Now, it's a coat rack!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28This is, um...
0:01:29 > 0:01:32..a block of wood with two nails in it.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I, um... This is my, um...
0:01:35 > 0:01:37What I've been working on.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- You made THAT in arts and crafts?! - A-hem!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Of course, my dad helped me a little.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Helped? He practically did the whole thing!
0:01:50 > 0:01:55Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- Woh! I didn't see George's mouth move at all!- That's creepy!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I love it!
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Everybody, this is Wally. Pleased to meet ya.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12You'll have to excuse George. I may be a dummy, but he's got no manners.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18What did the banana say to the elephant?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Nothing! Bananas don't talk! Ha-ha!
0:02:24 > 0:02:28On which side of a cat do you find the most fur?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31The outside!
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Woof!- Yeah!
0:02:42 > 0:02:46George, I've never laughed so hard in school!
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Yeah! Don't give HIM the credit!
0:02:50 > 0:02:54I did all the talking! Well, I gotta go.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00- This stiff neck is killing me! - Stiff...neck!
0:03:00 > 0:03:05How come we don't hang out with George? He's hysterical!
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- Don't know. He's always been around. - I remember him in kindergarten.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16I was about to drink the mango juice Mommy had packed me, when...
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I didn't get a chance to thank him.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- I think I hugged him once.- Huh?
0:03:29 > 0:03:34In the soccer championship against Mighty Mountain. The score was tied.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38There was only a minute left in the game.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49You did it, George! You saved the game!
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Weird! How can you know all this about someone
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- but not really KNOW them? - It IS weird.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03Maybe he's a spy from a hostile alien nation!
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- Buster! Not everyone who's quiet is an alien!- You're right.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10I bet there are some loud ones, too.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Hey, what's for lunch, guys? Any wood-polish there?
0:04:15 > 0:04:20If that's home-cooking, I'm checking into a hotel!
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- Can you talk and eat at the same time?- Sure I can!
0:04:25 > 0:04:30I'm eating, I'm talking, I'm eating, I'm talking!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Oh, no!
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Holy cow, what a hit! Yes, sir, that's out of the park!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57That's heading right this way! Argh!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02EVERYONE CHEERS
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Hey, I think I chipped a tooth!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Get me a dentist...or a carpenter!
0:05:10 > 0:05:15Out of the jaws of defeat and into the jaws of a giraffe!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Victory tastes a lot like shoe leather.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23George, teach us how to be ventriloquists.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Get a dummy. Something funny looking.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- How's this? - No, that's not funny.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Rabbits and aardvarks are funny. Mooses are NOT.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37ALL TALK AT ONCE
0:05:37 > 0:05:42How do you know there's an elephant in your refrigerator?
0:05:42 > 0:05:47- There's footprints in the peanut butter!- I'll just grin and BEAR it!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50A car's not a dummy. That's dumb!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Oh, yeah? Vroom!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Let go of Arty! He's going to tear!
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Hello. I'm Princess Philomena. Hip-hip, cheerio!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Wow, Muffy! You hardly moved your lips!
0:06:04 > 0:06:10- I didn't. It's a recording. There's a tape in the back.- Hi, guys!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- The name's Socko!- Eeugh!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Change his name to Stinko!
0:06:15 > 0:06:21You like that, boy. I know that, because I have a lot of fur, too.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Tuna casserole! ..Urgh!
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Hey, I've got an idea. Let's start with dessert tonight!
0:06:31 > 0:06:36I've got a better idea. Let's put Arty away during dinner!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Hey, it's dark! Who turned out the lights?!
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Is it bedtime already? It sure gets dark this time of year.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56DW, where's Arty? You took him, didn't you?
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Did not! Now you know what it feels like.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Maybe you left him with my snowball.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Arty couldn't have just gotten up and walked away.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Hmm...
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Hey, Arthur!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Look at Socko! My mom washed him!
0:07:15 > 0:07:20Yeah, I think Pal buried Arty, but I was getting kinda bored with him.
0:07:20 > 0:07:26'Hip-hip, cheerio! Hip-hip...' It's broken! I can't get it to stop!
0:07:26 > 0:07:29TAPE SLOWS DOWN THEN SPEEDS UP AGAIN
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Oh, forget it! DUMMY KEEPS TALKING
0:07:33 > 0:07:39Actually, she was driving me crazy. Morning, ladies and germs!
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Wally's beat-up. Maybe you should stop playing with him for a while!
0:07:45 > 0:07:49No, I'm fine! Never felt better!
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Fern invited me to a poetry reading.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Guess I'm the poet and I didn't know it!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57So are my feet. They're long fellows.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Get it? Longfellows! Ha-ha!
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Um...that's great, George... or Wally... Whoever.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13A bit of green To brighten the scene!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I've heard it said That apples are red.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20How about some orange to...?
0:08:20 > 0:08:25- Has anybody told George this isn't poetry class?- I can't concentrate.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28My bananas look like giraffes!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Orange... - George, you might as well stop.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34There is no rhyme for orange.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Then I'll use yellow! Thanks, my good fellow.
0:08:43 > 0:08:455 times 12. Who knows the answer?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- Yes, George?- 50. - No, that's not correct.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55What do you expect? I'm a dummy!
0:08:55 > 0:08:59What's he doing? Ratburn's going to destroy him!
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Poor Wally... I mean, poor George!
0:09:02 > 0:09:05George, please see me after class.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I know you're attached to that puppet...
0:09:09 > 0:09:15- Mr Ratburn says he can't bring the dummy into class any more.- Good!
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Wally was getting on my nerves!
0:09:19 > 0:09:25Ratburn probably told you not to bring the dummy to class, right?
0:09:26 > 0:09:31That's OK. We still... We can have lunch together!
0:09:31 > 0:09:33That Mr Ratburn's one to talk.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38He's got about a hundred marionettes, but I bet they can't do this!
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Woo, woo-woo, woo-woo, woo! Woo, woo, woo!
0:09:42 > 0:09:48"And the children come and go Talking on milk and Oreo."
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Thank you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Next will be a poem called The Bowl Of Fruit read by George.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08George, it's your... Huh?
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- George, how's it going? - Sorry, Arthur, can't talk.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19George, what happened to Wally?
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Oh, uh, I guess I just, uh... lost my head in there!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Oh, it'll take for ever to fix me.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32We'll never be invited to a poetry reading again.
0:10:32 > 0:10:38- YOU could read your poem, George. - What? No-one wants to hear him!
0:10:38 > 0:10:43I do. I never get to really talk to him. It's always be through Wally.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48But no-one paid attention to George before I came along.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52He was just that shy, goofy kid with the big horns.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56He was always getting his head stuck in his locker.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Or knocking coats off the rack.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I never noticed those things.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Of course not! Nobody ever noticed him!
0:11:08 > 0:11:11We'd like to get to know him better,
0:11:11 > 0:11:15but how can we if Wally's always in the way?
0:11:15 > 0:11:21What if you all forget about me when I put him...ME...away? I don't know.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Just try it, George. What's the worst that could happen?
0:11:32 > 0:11:37"An orange, an apple and a banana This bowl of fruit's not from a can-a
0:11:37 > 0:11:43"It's real, it's fresh, good to eat The stuff from the can is too sweet."
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Gee.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I did it! I really DID it!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Yahoo!
0:11:50 > 0:11:56- So George was a hit at the poetry reading.- And without the dummy!
0:11:56 > 0:12:02- I think we've seen the last of that dumb giraffe.- Think again, Arthur.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11- What's he doing?- Maybe he's going to hang out with pre-schoolers now.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16Hi, guys, can I join you? Sure. Where's Wally?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Oh, I gave him to a shy-looking kid.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- LITTLE GIRL: Hi, Arthur!- Oh, no!
0:12:22 > 0:12:27My name is Dolly! Now you have three sisters! Come play with us, Arthur!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I've never had a pet, but if I did,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I'd want a Komodo dragon.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Either that or a narwhal, but I don't think that would fit in my room.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49No, wait!
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I've always wanted a pterodactyl.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59It's like having a parrot but it can give you a ride to the movies.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05Quick! Only five minutes before Carpet Of Doom II starts!
0:13:08 > 0:13:13The only pet to have is a dog. Hey, I'm not done!
0:13:13 > 0:13:18I always wanted an amoeba. I've heard they're real friendly.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Hey! Hi!- How are you? - Nice to meet you.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- As I was saying about dogs... - We've heard about dogs.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- Brain's got a virtual hamster. - Dogs are better!
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Arthur, this is MY opening scene,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36and you're hogging too much of it.
0:14:05 > 0:14:11- Dad?- Attention, Frenskys! I have a surprise!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14ALL: What is it?
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Is it a 92" TV? - Is it a narwhal?
0:14:24 > 0:14:29- A kitten!- He was at the junkyard. He wanted my lunch.
0:14:29 > 0:14:35- I don't think he'd eaten in a while. - Oh, sweetie, honey boo-boo face!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Aren't you the cutest snuggle-muffin?
0:14:38 > 0:14:44- Catherine, stop. You're making it sick.- Nonsense! Cats love this.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49They're cute and fluffy, and they sit and look cute!
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Uh-uh! They run and hunt and chase wildebeests.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Not THIS kitty!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Guess what! We got a cat!
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- Gross!- What's wrong with a cat?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Cats are smelly and mean!
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- I heard about a cat that bit a kid's ear off.- Yuck!
0:15:12 > 0:15:17They're cute and fluffy and they sit and look cute.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22Now, a DOG like Pal is loyal and friendly. He wouldn't bite ANYONE,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25and he's smart.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29PAL YAPS You're interrupting my tea party!
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Hey, my cookie!
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- FRANCINE: I suppose that shows how smart Pal is.- Yes!
0:15:36 > 0:15:41Pal is helping DW learn that she shouldn't leave food lying around.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47- You wouldn't see a cat doing anything that clever.- My cookie!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53What have you done to it?!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56It's been "ickified"!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Don't be so over-dramatic.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01You're ruining its...its cat-itude.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Good night, Rose-petal.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Rose-petal?! Oh, brother!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20ALARM BEEPS
0:16:23 > 0:16:29How dare you try to steal the affections of my darling Rose-petal!
0:16:30 > 0:16:33CAT MIAOWS Huh...?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45What's wrong?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49No, BAD sweetie Rose-petal!
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Cats are usually so refined.
0:17:02 > 0:17:08Ow! He punched me! Why is my muffin sweetie-face acting this way?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Wow!
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Just my luck. We get a cat that's exactly like Francine!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31That kitten's turning out to be pretty clever.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35It hit Catherine on the leg, then it chased me.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38It sounds vicious.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40No, it was playing. We had fun.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44A sense of self-respect and a strategy.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Sounds intelligent.- No, it doesn't!
0:17:47 > 0:17:52- All cats are stupid. - Have you ever known a cat?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54No need. I KNOW I don't like them.
0:17:54 > 0:18:00I bet if you met one you'd change your mind. I'd better go.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- There must be GOOD cats in the world.- No!
0:18:04 > 0:18:09There are no good cats. They bite kids' ears, remember?
0:18:09 > 0:18:14Maybe that was a made-up story, like the one about the teenagers
0:18:14 > 0:18:16who got a hook in their chicken.
0:18:16 > 0:18:22Ohh, can't we have one minute without talking about stupid cats?!
0:18:24 > 0:18:28I can't believe Francine likes a stupid cat.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30What if she gets more?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Thanks for picking up my uniform.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39I was so busy. Aren't these shelves great?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42My dad built them for the cats.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Cats are SO smart, they need VERY creative play toys.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Agh! Leave my ears alone!
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Oh, Arthur, they LIKE you!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56A-A-A-A-A-ARGH!
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Miaow!
0:19:00 > 0:19:03DOORBELL RINGS
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Hi, Arthur. I brought the kitten over to meet you and Pal.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Pal, this is Rose-petal...
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Er, this is...Nemo. He's your new friend.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Pal doesn't need friends. I'M his friend!
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- HISSING - Agh!
0:19:22 > 0:19:28- What's he doing?- That's a normal cat reaction. Look, they're playing!
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Your cat is trying to kill Pal!
0:19:30 > 0:19:36- He is not. They're having fun. - Agh! Get your killer cat away!
0:19:36 > 0:19:41After a few more meetings, you'll all be great friends.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Huh! I don't think so.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49It's OK now. The evil cat is gone.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- PAL WHINES - What's wrong, Pal?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56You're upset because you almost got killed.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Come on, I'll give you a treat.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03..Then it tried to KILL Pal! It's like an Edgar Allan Poe cat.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07And it's black! Mostly.
0:20:07 > 0:20:13- Pal looks fine to me.- He's just being brave for us. He's upset.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Hey, look! It's Francine's cat.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- Oh, no!- Mom's taking him to the vet for a check-up.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Wow! He walks on a leash. Cool! He's like a dog.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- He's NOT like a dog.- Arthur's right. He's like himself. He's unique.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39He also must be hungry. He just ate Arthur's sandwich.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Why are you rewarding him? He ate my sandwich!
0:20:45 > 0:20:51Maybe he's teaching you not to leave your food lying around!
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Ha-ha, very funny!
0:20:56 > 0:21:01Francine's coming over to study, but I said not to bring her stupid cat.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- Even mentioning that cat scares you. - DOORBELL >
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Argh!
0:21:10 > 0:21:14You didn't MEAN not to bring Nemo.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19Underneath, you and Pal like him. You just don't realise it yet.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Should we study math or spelling?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Francine, get him off Pal!- Why?
0:21:29 > 0:21:34- He'll hurt him!- He will not. Nemo wouldn't hurt anyone.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Are you crazy? He's vicious!
0:21:38 > 0:21:40He is NOT! They're playing.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43That's not how nice animals play.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46You wouldn't know a nice animal!
0:21:46 > 0:21:51If my cat isn't welcome here, then I'm not either. Goodbye, Arthur.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55For good!
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Bye!
0:21:58 > 0:22:02He's probably just not hungry, Arthur.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06No, he's upset. Francine's stupid cat tried to kill him again today.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Francine has a cat?- Yeah.
0:22:09 > 0:22:15It jumped on Pal and rolled around like something in a nature special.
0:22:15 > 0:22:21Pal doesn't seem upset, Arthur. That's how animals play.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26Maybe everyone else likes cats, but WE know how bad they are.
0:22:27 > 0:22:32A nice long walk will make you feel better.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Huh?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52How dare your dog kidnap my cat!
0:22:52 > 0:22:55How dare your cat bully my dog!
0:23:05 > 0:23:10- Ow! Ouch! Hey...! - Arthur, are you OK?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- Hey!- Did he bite your ear?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19No, it tickles!
0:23:19 > 0:23:24I knew you'd like him if you gave him a chance.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Yeah. He seems almost as smart as Pal.
0:23:27 > 0:23:33- Almost?! He's smarter than any dog. - No-one is smarter than Pal.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38- You don't know Nemo. - No cat is as smart as a dog,
0:23:38 > 0:23:43- and Pal's the smartest dog on Earth. - Nemo's the smartest ANIMAL on Earth
0:23:43 > 0:23:49- and the moon and the whole universe! - Wrong, wrong, you are wrong!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- Oh, yeah?- Yeah!
