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 > 0:03:26I didn't get a chance to thank him.
0:03:26 > 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 > 0:04:02Maybe he's a spy from a hostile alien nation!
0:04:02 > 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 > 0:06:09- I didn't. It's a recording. There's a tape in the back.- Hi, guys!
0:06:09 > 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 > 0:06:35I've got a better idea. Let's put Arty away during dinner!
0:06:35 > 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 > 0:10:47But no-one paid attention to George before I came along.
0:10:47 > 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 > 0:11:20What if you all forget about me when I put him...ME...away? I don't know.
0:11:20 > 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!
