0:00:02 > 0:00:06# Every day you walk down the street Everybody that you meet
0:00:06 > 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 > 0:00:28# Listen to the rhythm of the street
0:00:28 > 0:00:33# Get together and make things better By working together
0:00:33 > 0:00:37# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:00:37 > 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 > 0:00:53# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other
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!
0:01:07 > 0:01:12Open your books and take down the following equations...
0:01:12 > 0:01:17VOICE SLOWS DOWN ..which...you...will...solve...
0:01:17 > 0:01:20for...tomorrow's...class...
0:01:23 > 0:01:28Ever have one of those days when it feels like time's passing slowly?
0:01:38 > 0:01:45Is it just me? Two seconds have gone by, but it feels like longer.
0:01:45 > 0:01:53OK. THREE seconds. Big woop(!) Has this ever happened to you?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Am I bored? No. I know what bored feels like.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03'That's like when DW watches Mary Moo Cow.'
0:02:03 > 0:02:08Three fuzzy, cuddly, kitties. Three! Let's count them again...
0:02:08 > 0:02:14- That reminds me! There's a hockey game on Channel 3.- No! Mom!
0:02:14 > 0:02:20Arthur's changing the channel when we're watching an educational show!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Let's count them one more time.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29One, two, three... fuzzy, cuddly kitties. Three!
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Three!
0:02:31 > 0:02:37THAT'S boring. So what is this? What's happening to me?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Ah!
0:02:46 > 0:02:51I thought school was not going to end. It was like time stood still.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- What's wrong with me?- Maybe it's an alien-influenced distortion
0:02:56 > 0:02:59of the time-space continuum.
0:02:59 > 0:03:05- It's so obvious, but boys are too thick to know.- What? What is it?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07You're in love!
0:03:07 > 0:03:13What?! Don't be... Uh-uh. You don't know what you're talking about!
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Tell me who it is.- I am NOT in love.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Say the name. Say the name!
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Get away from me.- Ha! Got his swing.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- Psst! Hey, Arthur, I know exactly what's wrong with you.- You do?
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Have my apple. My mom says lack of roughage can make you cranky.
0:03:36 > 0:03:42- Apple's a good source of roughage. - I don't even know what that means.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47- And I'm NOT cranky! - A big bowl of oatmeal's good too!
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Keep trying, girls. I got ALL day.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56It's not just you. I felt it too.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I haven't wanted to check my sums.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I've had no energy to go shopping!
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I haven't even felt like eating.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10It's like the whole world's messed up, or something.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15We must figure out what's happening. Remember how happy we used to be?
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Yeah. You know what was great? That TV special.
0:04:20 > 0:04:25Hairy Mary Scary Halloween-o-rama Boo!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Another great show was A Blunderbuss Thanksgiving.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34What about The Kid Who Got Clothes For Christmas?
0:04:34 > 0:04:39That was one of the saddest shows I ever saw.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41It was great!
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- That's what wrong! - We're not sad enough?!
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Those were holiday shows, but there hasn't been a holiday in ages.
0:04:50 > 0:04:56Yeah. No preparations, no special store displays, no seasonal songs.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59No days off school, no assemblies, no decorations.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03It's cold out and the sun goes down early.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- It's like being dead, only with homework!- You know what we need?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Less homework!- Er...no.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14We need to invent a new holiday!
0:05:21 > 0:05:26I told my mom your idea. She says if we think of a good one,
0:05:26 > 0:05:32- she'll print it in the paper and it may become a real holiday.- Great!
0:05:32 > 0:05:37- Do you understand this movie?- Uh-uh. - Me neither. Let's go tell everyone.
0:05:37 > 0:05:43- About not understanding the movie? - No! About creating a new holiday.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Oh. That's a much better idea.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49It's the greatest idea you ever had!
0:05:49 > 0:05:53We can think of a perfect holiday. ALL: Yeah!
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- Anybody got one yet?- Maybe this isn't as easy as I thought.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07What are the ingredients of a holiday?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Celebrating an event.- Presents!
0:06:09 > 0:06:15Having a day off from everything. Honouring a great person.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21Now we have guidelines. Let's put all our ideas together.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23This is gonna be so terrific!
0:06:25 > 0:06:31- Grandma, d'you remember anything happening here?- Like what, dear?
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Like a battle, or the biggest thing that ever happened.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40When I was a girl, the Graf Zeppelin flew over the town.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Was there a big battle?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47'No, it just flew over. It was very quiet.'
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Hot ziggity!
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Not that that's not exciting,
0:06:54 > 0:06:58but I need something cool enough to be a brand-new holiday.
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- Pony Day!- I don't think so. - People would love it.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08Just saying it is fun. Pony Day! Pony Day! Pony Day!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Oh!
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Po-ny Da-ay!
0:07:14 > 0:07:18I haven't found a good enough event to celebrate yet.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Stop thinking! I've got our holiday! Ready?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Give Me Candy Day!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Give Me Candy Day?!
0:07:28 > 0:07:34Not you. Me. ME, me. Give ME - Buster Baxter - Candy Day.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39Everyone dresses up in colourful costumes and rings my doorbell.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42You mean, just like Halloween?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46No. They don't ring every doorbell. Just mine.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Then they give ME candy.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53- It's a holiday about giving. - About giving to YOU!
0:07:53 > 0:07:57No, because after I've eaten all I can,
0:07:57 > 0:08:02I share the rest with all the little children!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Great, huh?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09My idea's much better.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- A holiday should be about relaxing. - Eating candy is relaxing.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Picture this. You turn on TV and see our big holiday special.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25# Oh, the weather outside is crummy
0:08:25 > 0:08:28# And you feel as lively as a mummy
0:08:28 > 0:08:33# Then there's nothing to do or say
0:08:33 > 0:08:38# It's There's Nothing To Do Today Day
0:08:41 > 0:08:44# When there's nothing to do
0:08:44 > 0:08:47# You can do anything you want to
0:08:47 > 0:08:50# You can go to sleep, run and play
0:08:50 > 0:08:55# On There's Nothing To Do Nothing To Do Today Day
0:08:55 > 0:08:58# Nothing To Do Today Day
0:08:58 > 0:09:01# Nothing To Do Today Day...! #
0:09:01 > 0:09:07- I've heard enough!- Let's get it in the paper and make it a holiday.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12That's better than Give Me Candy Day? I don't think so.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17- Holidays are for relaxing and having fun.- And they're ABOUT something.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- That was about nothing! - You didn't get it.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24# The weather outside is crummy...! #
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Stop singing! No more singing!
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Igneous Rock Day?!
0:09:30 > 0:09:34A holiday is about something that will last for all time.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40- And what lasts longer than a big, igneous rock?- Er...
0:09:40 > 0:09:46- Psst! Hey, Arthur. About this whole holiday scheme.- It's not a scheme.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- It's an attempt to do something worthwhile.- Blah-blah-blah!
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Whatever it is, a holiday needs one thing.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Fireworks!
0:09:56 > 0:10:02As soon as midnight hits, we have 24 hours of solid, nonstop fireworks!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09You can't see them during the day.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15So what? With nonstop fireworks, we wouldn't be able to hear Mr Ratburn!
0:10:15 > 0:10:20- Couldn't that hurt our ears?- Yeah! FIREWORKS DROWN OUT SPEECH
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Think about it, my man.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29I don't care what the holiday is. I wanna sell T-shirts and souvenirs.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Sign here to make me the official seller.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37We don't even have a holiday yet and already it's too commercial!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40I'm calling a meeting.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44ALL SHOUT IDEAS AT ONCE
0:10:44 > 0:10:46These are ALL great ideas.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51If we put them together, we'll have the greatest holiday!
0:10:51 > 0:10:57What's it about? Gifts? TV specials? Cheap songs? Fireworks? T-shirts?
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- It's not what a holiday's about. - All holidays have that stuff.
0:11:02 > 0:11:08But that's extra. It's still your birthday if you don't get presents.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16We should honour someone or something that's really important.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Arthur's right! Even if it means I don't get candy.
0:11:20 > 0:11:26Let's come up with a great holiday! ALL: Yeah!
0:11:26 > 0:11:30And this all started cos Arthur was in love.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Love?! Oh, no!
0:11:32 > 0:11:37It's almost Valentine's Day. I haven't bought any Valentines yet.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Me neither! I completely forgot!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Wait! Where are you going?!
0:11:43 > 0:11:48It's a holiday! I've gotta go buy candy hearts.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Arthur! Have you seen the paper?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56I sent in my idea about Pony Day and they put it in!
0:11:56 > 0:12:02It was cool how you got everybody excited when we were in the dumps.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07- We forgot there were no special days. - But I didn't think up a new holiday.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- You got a whole year to think of one. - Right!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Here. Happy Garshmulter, Arthur.
0:12:13 > 0:12:19- What?- That's my name for it. There'll be fireworks all day!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22We'll need more than just fireworks.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Free soft pretzels!
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Picture a sky full of fireworks and soft pretzels!
0:12:30 > 0:12:32# And I say, hey!
0:12:32 > 0:12:38# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play
0:12:38 > 0:12:40# And get along with each other
0:12:40 > 0:12:43# You gotta listen to your heart
0:12:43 > 0:12:48# Listen to the beat Listen to the rhythm of the street
0:12:48 > 0:12:53# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
0:12:53 > 0:12:57# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start... #
