0:00:02 > 0:00:07# Every day you walk down the street Everybody that you meet
0:00:07 > 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 > 0:00:29# Listen to the rhythm of the street
0:00:29 > 0:00:33# Get together and make things better By working together
0:00:33 > 0:00:38# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:00:38 > 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 > 0:00:54# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other
0:00:54 > 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!
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Hi! I'm working on ideas for changing my room.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Allow me to show you around.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Here's the arcade.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36The wobbly room.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Good for bouncing! And here's one of my favourites -
0:01:43 > 0:01:46the roller-coaster room!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55But the best part of all is it cleans itself!
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Ah...- Arthur! How's that room of yours coming?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I'm working on it, Mom!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Hey!- Oops.
0:02:21 > 0:02:27- Just one day till the Happy Crazy Wow Day at the park.- They teach juggling.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Let's go and see if they've set up.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- We can play soccer after we look. Get your ball.- Sure!
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Going to the park! - What about your room, Arthur?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43It's clean!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45(Kinda.)
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Soccer ball, soccer ball.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Pal! I was wondering where you were.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04Ah-hah! OK, I'll be back later, boy. Try to stay out of stuff.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I'll clean it tonight, I promise.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Mom! Everybody's waiting for me.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Well, make sure you're home in time for dinner.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28- Then you're cleaning your room - no ifs, ands, or buts.- No problem!
0:03:28 > 0:03:32'Bring the intruder before me! Ah! Dr Brandt!
0:03:32 > 0:03:38'Nice of you to DROP in. Sorry if the accommodation isn't commodious...'
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Arthur! >
0:03:40 > 0:03:45OK, Arthur. Enough dawdling. Time to pick up your room.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49But, Mom, Alien Zoo Squad just started!
0:03:49 > 0:03:54You said you'd clean your room if I let you go to the park. Hop to it!
0:03:54 > 0:04:00- '..I will ask you to show me more respect!- Go chase your tail...!'
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I've got it!
0:04:04 > 0:04:08You can't stop talking! What's happening?
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- It was behind the scratching post! - What is it?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- What scratching post?- There are two!
0:04:15 > 0:04:21- Two of what?! Two of WHAT?! - Oh, cool!- Aargh!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I see it! I see it!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Now, just put the phone by the TV.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40'..I'm not gonna fight you. I have something you'll like...!'
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I might be as smart as the Brain.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50'..Back to the Petting Zoo, kitty cat!'
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Arthur!
0:04:53 > 0:04:55"Aargh! I'm drowning! Help me!"
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Toys stay out of the cereal, please.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I'm going to Happy Crazy Wow Day.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Not until you clean your room.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07But I just told Buster I'd meet him.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12Tell him you'll meet later. You've put this off long enough.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- Ha-ha-ha!- As soon as you've eaten, you can work on your room too.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22- It's as messy as your brother's. - That'll take forever!
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- I'll miss Happy Crazy Wow Day! - < I've an idea!
0:05:26 > 0:05:30When my brother and I had chores to do, we had a saying.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34"Many hands make light work." I'm not sure...
0:05:34 > 0:05:39In other words, the more hands you had, the easier the work became.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- It does sound kind of cool. - It'll go twice as fast. Trust me.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Why not start on Arthur's room first?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Wait a minute!- Honey... < Everyone, calm down.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Calm down. Do me a favour and just try it.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04I think you'll be surprised at how well it works.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- Let's do this quick. I'm gonna be late.- Eurgh!
0:06:15 > 0:06:20My postcards from Buster when he was away! You can't throw those out!
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- But he's back now.- DW!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25It's not like he's famous!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Hey! Don't throw that away!
0:06:33 > 0:06:38It's an empty bag of cookies. Who keeps empty cookie bags?
0:06:38 > 0:06:42It's Muffy's cookies. It has my picture on it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- Who'd buy something with your picture on it?!- Lots of...
0:06:46 > 0:06:52- Where'd you get my light bulb costume? And my moon boots?- There.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59DW, you're supposed to be putting stuff away, not taking it out!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Can I throw this dirty Popsicle stick out?!
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- No! It's part of my collection. - You don't have a stick collection.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Not yet! But what if I start one?
0:07:15 > 0:07:20DW! Here, just straighten that stuff. I'll do the floor.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Boy, look at all this homework.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26You must LOVE to do homework.
0:07:27 > 0:07:33- Eurgh! Look what I found.- Stop looking like that. You can't read.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- I know what THIS is. - It's just a note from Francine.
0:07:37 > 0:07:43I knew it! Arthur has a girlfriend! Arthur has a girlfriend!
0:07:43 > 0:07:47"Dear Arthur, I LOVE you!"
0:07:47 > 0:07:53It says, "Bring your baseball mit to school on Monday. Francine."
0:07:53 > 0:07:59Arthur and Francine. Arthur loves Francine!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Go get everything out from under the bed.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06If you don't love her, why is your face red?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- That just proves you love her!- Mom!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I'll take care of it.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Look, Arthur, it's very simple.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23The less time you spend fighting with DW, the faster you get to the park.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- But she keeps bothering me.- Who, me?
0:08:27 > 0:08:32If you both work as fast as you can, you'll be done in no time.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I will if she will.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Now, why not see how fast you can go?
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Phew! We did it! I just hope I didn't miss Happy Crazy Wow Day.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13But we're not done yet, Arthur.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16You still have to do MY room.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- What are you doing?! - We have to hurry.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29Mr Hippo can't sit next to Miss Monkey. He'll squish her.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32They have to go in a certain order.
0:09:32 > 0:09:38- It's OK. I'm here.- We can't spend all day arranging your animals!
0:09:38 > 0:09:43- They have to be just right, or they won't be happy.- Oh!
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Arthur! That's my button and stone collection.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55- Don't tell me. They'll be sad! - I spent all week arranging them.
0:09:55 > 0:10:01- You're ruining everything. Go do something else.- Huh!
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Your clothes have REALLY shrunk.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11They're for my doll house. They go on special hangers. Here's one.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17What?! I'm supposed to be helping you clean, not playing dolls!
0:10:19 > 0:10:24- They're put away!- Mo-o-o-o-om!
0:10:25 > 0:10:30You must work together. That's the only way this will work.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35- She won't let me put things away. - Can I say something?
0:10:35 > 0:10:40DW helped you clean your room. It's up to you to return the favour.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45- I have something to say.- I'm missing Happy Crazy...whatever-it-is Day!
0:10:45 > 0:10:49If you'd cleaned your room when you were supposed to,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- you wouldn't have this problem. - I have something to say.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- What is it, DW? - Can I just clean my room myself?
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- What?! - Can I just clean by myself, please?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- I don't want Arthur touching my things.- Well, I think...
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Yes, DW. That's a wonderful idea.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Yes! Thanks, DW. Whoo-hoo!
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Are you sure you don't need help?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22No. First of all, you have cooties.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Second, I think it'd be sad if you didn't go to the park.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Third, you have cooties!- Thanks.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Yahoo!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Whee!
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Yeah!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47BOTH: Yeah, Arthur!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Once, I did it for a long time.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55- Why were you so late, Arthur? - It was all DW's fault.
0:11:55 > 0:12:01She... Well, I guess it's kind of my fault. I hadn't cleaned my room.
0:12:01 > 0:12:07I've done that too. Mom wouldn't let me do any extra-credit projects
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- until I cleaned it up. - Why can't I have your mom?
0:12:11 > 0:12:16Nice of you kids to stick around. Many hands make light work!
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Cool!- It's not what you think.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28- Working together will make things go a lot faster.- So I've heard!
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Open your exercise books and take down the following equations...
0:12:35 > 0:12:40VOICE SLOWS DOWN ..which...you...will...solve...
0:12:40 > 0:12:43for...tomorrow's...class...
0:12:46 > 0:12:52Ever have one of those days when it feels like time's passing slowly?
0:13:01 > 0:13:07Is it just me? Only two seconds have gone by, but it feels like longer.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14OK. THREE seconds. Big wow(!) Has this ever happened to you?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Am I bored? No. I know what bored feels like.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26'That's like when DW watches Mary Moo Cow.'
0:13:26 > 0:13:31Three fuzzy, cuddly, kitties. Three! Let's count them again...
0:13:31 > 0:13:37- That reminds me! There's a hockey game on Channel 3.- No! Mom!
0:13:37 > 0:13:43Arthur's changing the channel when we're watching an educational show!
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Let's count them one more time.
0:13:46 > 0:13:53One, two, three... fuzzy, cuddly kitties. Three!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Three!
0:13:55 > 0:14:00THAT'S boring. So what is this? What's happening to me?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06The Long, Dull Winter.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Ah!
0:14:09 > 0:14:14I thought school was never going to end. It felt like time stood still.
0:14:14 > 0:14:20- What's wrong with me?- Maybe it's an alien-influenced distortion
0:14:20 > 0:14:23of the time-space continuum.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28- It's so obvious, but boys are too thick to know.- What? What is it?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30You're in love!
0:14:30 > 0:14:37What?! Don't be... Uh-uh. You don't know what you're talking about!
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- Tell me who it is.- I am NOT in love.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Say the name. Say the name!
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- Get away from me.- Ha! Got his swing.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54- Psst! Hey, Arthur, I know exactly what's wrong with you.- You do?
0:14:54 > 0:15:00Have my apple. My mom says lack of roughage can make you cranky.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05- Apple's a good source of roughage. - I don't even know what that means.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10- And I'm not cranky! - A big bowl of oatmeal's good too!
0:15:10 > 0:15:14Keep trying, girls. I got ALL day.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19It's not just you. I felt it too.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I haven't wanted to check my sums.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I've had no energy to go shopping!
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I haven't even felt like eating.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33It's like the whole world's messed up, or something.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38We must figure out what's happening. Remember how happy we used to be?
0:15:38 > 0:15:43Yeah. You know what was great? That TV special.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Hairy Mary Scary Halloween-o-rama Boo!
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Another great show was A Blunderbuss Thanksgiving.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57What about The Kid Who Got Clothes For Christmas?
0:15:57 > 0:16:02That was one of the saddest shows I ever saw.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05It was great!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- That's what wrong! - We're not sad enough?!
0:16:08 > 0:16:14Those were holiday shows, but there hasn't been a holiday in ages.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Yeah. No preparations, no special store displays, no seasonal songs.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23No days off school, no assemblies, no decorations.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26It's cold out and the sun goes down early.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- It's like being dead, only with homework!- You know what we need?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Less homework!- Er...no.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37We need to invent a new holiday!
0:16:45 > 0:16:50I told my mom your idea. She says if we think of a good one,
0:16:50 > 0:16:55- she'll print it in the paper and it may become a real holiday.- Great!
0:16:55 > 0:17:00- Do you understand this movie?- Uh-uh. - Me neither. Let's go tell everyone.
0:17:00 > 0:17:06- About not understanding the movie? - No! About creating a new holiday.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Oh. That's a much better idea.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12It's the greatest idea you ever had!
0:17:12 > 0:17:17We can think of a perfect holiday. ALL: Yeah!
0:17:21 > 0:17:26- Anybody got one yet?- Maybe this isn't as easy as I thought.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30What are the ingredients of a holiday?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Celebrating an event.- Presents!
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Having a day off from everything. Honouring a great person.
0:17:38 > 0:17:44Now we have guidelines. Let's put all our ideas together and we'll be done.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47This is gonna be so terrific!
0:17:48 > 0:17:54- Grandma, d'you remember anything happening here?- Like what, dear?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Like a battle, or the biggest thing that ever happened.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04When I was a girl, the Graf Zeppelin flew over the town.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Was there a big battle?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10'No, it just flew over. It was very quiet.'
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Hot ziggity!
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Not that that's not exciting,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21but I need something cool enough to be a brand-new holiday.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- Pony Day!- I don't think so. - People would love it.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31Just saying it is fun. Pony Day! Pony Day! Pony Day!
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Oh!
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Po-ny Da-ay!
0:18:37 > 0:18:41I haven't found a good enough event to celebrate yet.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Stop thinking! I've got our holiday! Ready?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Give Me Candy Day!
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Give Me Candy Day?!
0:18:51 > 0:18:57Not you. Me. ME, me. Give ME - Buster Baxter - Candy Day.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02Everyone dresses up in colourful costumes and rings my doorbell.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05You mean, just like Halloween?
0:19:05 > 0:19:09No. They don't ring every doorbell. Just mine.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Then they give ME candy.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- It's a holiday about giving. - About giving to YOU!
0:19:16 > 0:19:20No, because after I've eaten all I can,
0:19:20 > 0:19:25I share the rest with all the little children!
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Great, huh?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32My idea's much better.
0:19:32 > 0:19:37- A holiday should be about relaxing. - Eating candy is relaxing.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Picture this. You turn on TV and see our big holiday special.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48# Oh, the weather outside is crummy
0:19:48 > 0:19:52# And you feel as lively as a mummy
0:19:52 > 0:19:56# Then there's nothing to do or say
0:19:56 > 0:20:01# It's There's Nothing To Do Today Day
0:20:05 > 0:20:07# When there's nothing to do
0:20:07 > 0:20:10# You can do anything you want to
0:20:10 > 0:20:13# You can go to sleep, run and play
0:20:13 > 0:20:18# On There's Nothing To Do Nothing To Do Today Day
0:20:18 > 0:20:21# Nothing To Do Today Day
0:20:21 > 0:20:24# Nothing To Do Today Day...! #
0:20:24 > 0:20:30- I've heard enough!- Let's get it in the paper and make it a holiday.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35That's better than Give Me Candy Day? I don't think so.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- Holidays are for relaxing and having fun.- And they're ABOUT something.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- That was about nothing! - You didn't get it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47# The weather outside is crummy...! #
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Stop singing! No more singing!
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Igneous Rock Day?!
0:20:53 > 0:20:58A holiday is about something that will last for all time.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- And what lasts longer than a big, igneous rock?- Er...
0:21:03 > 0:21:09- Psst! Hey, Arthur. About this whole holiday scheme.- It's not a scheme.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- It's an attempt to do something worthwhile.- Blah-blah-blah!
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Whatever it is, a holiday needs one thing.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Fireworks!
0:21:19 > 0:21:25As soon as midnight hits, we have 24 hours of solid, nonstop fireworks!
0:21:30 > 0:21:33You can't see them during the day.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38So what? With nonstop fireworks, we wouldn't be able to hear Mr Ratburn!
0:21:38 > 0:21:44- Couldn't that hurt our ears?- Yeah! FIREWORKS DROWN OUT SPEECH
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Think about it, my man.
0:21:46 > 0:21:52I don't care what the holiday is. I wanna sell T-shirts and souvenirs.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Sign here to make me the official seller.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00We don't even have a holiday yet and already it's too commercial!
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I'm calling a meeting.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07ALL SHOUT IDEAS AT ONCE
0:22:07 > 0:22:09These are all great ideas.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14If we put them together, we'll have the greatest holiday!
0:22:14 > 0:22:20What's it about? Gifts? TV specials? Cheap songs? Fireworks? T-shirts?
0:22:20 > 0:22:26- That's not what a holiday's really about.- All holidays have that stuff.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31But that's extra. It's still your birthday if you don't get presents.
0:22:35 > 0:22:40We should honour someone or something that's really important.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Arthur's right! Even if it means I don't get candy.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49Let's come up with a great holiday! ALL: Yeah!
0:22:49 > 0:22:53And this all started cos Arthur was in love.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Love?! Oh, no!
0:22:55 > 0:23:00It's almost Valentine's Day. I haven't bought any Valentines yet.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Me neither! I completely forgot!
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Wait! Where are you going?!
0:23:06 > 0:23:11It's a holiday! I've gotta go buy candy hearts.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Arthur! Have you seen the paper?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19I sent in my idea about Pony Day and they put it in!
0:23:19 > 0:23:25It was cool how you got everybody excited when we were in the dumps.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- We forgot there were no special days. - But I didn't think up a new holiday.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- You got a whole year to think of one. - Right!
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Here. Happy Garshmulter, Arthur.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42- What?- That's my name for it. There'll be fireworks all day!
0:23:42 > 0:23:45We'll need more than just fireworks.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Free soft pretzels!
0:23:47 > 0:23:52Picture a sky full of fireworks and soft pretzels!
0:23:53 > 0:23:56# And I say, hey!
0:23:56 > 0:24:01# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play
0:24:01 > 0:24:04# And get along with each other
0:24:04 > 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 > 0:24:16# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:24:16 > 0:24:20# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start... #
