0:02:29 > 0:02:34- That's exactly what I said! - It sure feels good to be back.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36I was afraid things would change.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41Hey, Buster! Glad you're back. I brought the scoreboard, Arthur.

0:02:41 > 0:02:46We started a chequer championship. Best of 5,000 games. It's a tie.

0:02:46 > 0:02:52- We're scheduled to finish today. - Oh, I forgot.- Go ahead. I'll watch.

0:02:52 > 0:02:58- There's only...70 games left.- But there must be a way we can all play.

0:02:58 > 0:03:03# Arthur didn't wanna leave Buster out, of that he can be proud

0:03:03 > 0:03:08# But when you're playing chequers Three's a crowd. #

0:03:08 > 0:03:10You can't move MY black piece.

0:03:10 > 0:03:15- No, it's mine. - That's mine, that's yours.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18You're jumping your own piece.

0:03:18 > 0:03:23Brain is red and his pieces go this way. I'm black and go that way.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27Buster, you have some red and black,

0:03:27 > 0:03:32- a penny, a stamp and the Monopoly shoe and you go that way.- Wait!

0:03:32 > 0:03:36That's... Oh, my brain hurts.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Maybe I should just watch.

0:03:38 > 0:03:45- Thanks, Buster.- It's OK. It's just nice to be back with my friends.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47What did you say?

0:03:47 > 0:03:53# This is the next day That's all I have to say, hey! #

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Arthur, wanna see my travel slides?

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Oh, hi, Brain.

0:03:58 > 0:04:04- What are you doing?- Writing an adventure book.- Like ours?- Sort of.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06But not exactly like our book.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10You and the Brain are writing OUR book?

0:04:10 > 0:04:14After them!

0:04:14 > 0:04:16We're a perfect team, Friar Brain.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20I used a simple mathematical formula.

0:04:20 > 0:04:25This is a right triangle. Therefore, the angle of inclination

0:04:25 > 0:04:31- and velocity of the rope was easy to determine!- I'll get you!

0:04:34 > 0:04:39- You changed everything.- Some of your situations were a tad unbelievable.

0:04:39 > 0:04:43- But it was exciting. - Now it's logical AND exciting.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48Buster, you weren't around. You can help now.

0:04:48 > 0:04:53I'll have pirates riding a dinosaur into town to crush buildings.

0:04:53 > 0:04:59- Er, no, dinosaurs and pirates never co-existed.- Now they ride horses.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Horses don't crush buildings! - They can crush flowers.

0:05:05 > 0:05:11# Buster Baxter went away and he came back

0:05:11 > 0:05:16# He was starting to feel like things had changed... #

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Carpet of Doom! Wow! I wanna see that!

0:05:21 > 0:05:28- I'll call Arthur.- Hey, it's Buster! - You saw Carpet of Doom without me?

0:05:28 > 0:05:33- We...- We forgot to call you. Sorry.- I was about to say,

0:05:33 > 0:05:37- we didn't go to Carpet of Doom. - Come on!

0:05:37 > 0:05:43Arthur wouldn't go to a Kresblain The Merry Magician movie!

0:05:44 > 0:05:47You always said you hated Kresblain.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49He's so...blah!

0:05:49 > 0:05:54I used to kind of not like him, but Francine loaned me all the tapes

0:05:54 > 0:05:58- and I caught Kresblamania! - Ah!

0:05:58 > 0:06:04# Kresblamania, it's insania How could Arthur have Kresblamania? #

0:06:04 > 0:06:06We have to go, honey.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Bye.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11# Kresblamania, it's insania

0:06:11 > 0:06:14# How could Buster NOT catch Kresblamania? #

0:06:14 > 0:06:20Did you hear that? He thinks he's so above Kresblain!

0:06:20 > 0:06:24Going away turned Buster into an S-N-O-B.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27No, you don't think... No!

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Really?

0:06:30 > 0:06:34He thinks he's better than us cos he's eaten snails.

0:06:34 > 0:06:40Who wants to trade for a peanut butter and...more peanut butter?

0:06:40 > 0:06:44You wouldn't like it. No snails.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47# Life can be tough as nails

0:06:47 > 0:06:53# When your friends think you're a guy who likes to eat snails.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03# They forgot they learned to dance when Buster wasn't around

0:07:03 > 0:07:08# But, boy, did Buster know it He couldn't dozy-doe it

0:07:08 > 0:07:13# He decided to get out Before he knocked everybody down!

0:07:13 > 0:07:18# Change partners! Promenade! Quack like a duck! #

0:07:18 > 0:07:22He thinks he's too good for square dancing.

0:07:26 > 0:07:32# Buster was feeling more left out With every passing day

0:07:32 > 0:07:36# Even when he found something cool...

0:07:36 > 0:07:41Arthur! I found a weird key! Maybe it's the key to a sports car!

0:07:41 > 0:07:47- We can split it 50/50.- That belongs to Mr Morris. Better put it back.

0:07:47 > 0:07:53# Someone else had found it first When he was away... #

0:07:54 > 0:07:57BELL RINGS

0:07:57 > 0:08:03- Kresblain Club meeting! Don't be late!- You wanna come?

0:08:03 > 0:08:07No, thanks. Go ahead.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10Well...see ya.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12Hmm!

0:08:18 > 0:08:23When my family used to travel a lot, I always felt out of place at home.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26Yeah? That's exactly how I feel.

0:08:26 > 0:08:31Kids think you're weird if you accidentally use French words.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35- I was only in France a week. - A week?!

0:08:35 > 0:08:40- I was only there a day. You must be an expert.- I didn't learn words.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44And I didn't eat any snails. But I watched TV.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48BIONIC BUNNY IN FRENCH

0:08:48 > 0:08:54They have the same shows, but in French.

0:08:54 > 0:08:59- You know how Bionic Bunny always says...- I don't know much about TV.

0:08:59 > 0:09:05- Oh. You wanna play chequers? - I don't like chequers. See you.

0:09:08 > 0:09:14- I wish Buster were here. - Why? He's changed.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17He wouldn't write a book with us.

0:09:17 > 0:09:22Because it had no snails in it! We have nothing in common any more.

0:09:22 > 0:09:28Maybe we do. If he likes new stuff, maybe we'd like it too.

0:09:28 > 0:09:33- I never thought of that.- Throw a party and watch his travel slides.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37Then we'll have that in common.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Yeah!

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Wow!

0:09:43 > 0:09:48- Great idea, Arthur. - Didn't you notice?- Notice what?

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Buster isn't here!

0:09:53 > 0:09:58- No.- Well, that's it. He obviously doesn't want to be our friend.

0:09:58 > 0:10:03She must be right. Why else wouldn't he come?

0:10:03 > 0:10:07# He's a sad, sad bunny A sad, sad bunny

0:10:07 > 0:10:13- # TV isn't funny When you're a sad, sad bunny. #- Hey!

0:10:13 > 0:10:16That's not very sad music.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21PLAYS SADLY # He's a sad, sad bunny

0:10:21 > 0:10:28# A sad, sad, sad, sad bunny... #

0:10:32 > 0:10:35I can't believe he didn't come.

0:10:35 > 0:10:41- What did he say when you invited him? - Francine did it.- No, Muffy did it.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44I thought Brain did it.

0:10:44 > 0:10:50Weighing the facts, I conclude that no-one invited Buster to the party.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Think that's why he's not here?

0:10:52 > 0:10:55DOORBELL RINGS

0:10:59 > 0:11:05# Buster Baxter and his friends got a brand-new start

0:11:05 > 0:11:10# It was just like they'd never been apart. #

0:11:16 > 0:11:19That looks so cool!

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Buster, pass the popcorn.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28- I thought it was for me. - You ate all that popcorn?!

0:11:28 > 0:11:31I'm glad we're having fun again.

0:11:31 > 0:11:37I thought aliens had replaced you all with cyborg twins.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40ALL: He's the same old Buster!

0:11:40 > 0:11:44# That's how it happened You can see

0:11:44 > 0:11:49# To Buster and the kids in Elwood City

0:11:49 > 0:11:54# Now they know when you're close friends

0:11:54 > 0:11:59# You can always get back together again. #

0:11:59 > 0:12:03- So how long has the singing guy been around?- What?!

0:12:03 > 0:12:06I thought he came here with you!

0:12:06 > 0:12:12# Buster Baxter went away and he came back

0:12:12 > 0:12:16# Buster Baxter... # HE HUMS

0:12:17 > 0:12:19That was weird.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23Yeah. ..Mom!

0:12:23 > 0:12:28There's a singing moose in front of the house!

0:12:30 > 0:12:34# And I say, hey, what a wonderful kind of day

0:12:34 > 0:12:40# If we can learn to work and play And get along with each other

0:12:40 > 0:12:45# What a wonderful kind of day A wonderful kind of day... #
