0:01:03 > 0:01:05Oh...
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Hi, Hal. How's it going, boy?
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Look out, R4!
0:01:19 > 0:01:25- 3W!!- I got the kids mittens on sale for only 3 million!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Mom, 3W deleted my hologram!
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Why don't you do your homework instead of fighting with 3W?
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- COMPUTER: 'Homework done.'- R4, will you play virtual flingy with me?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Please, please, please, PLEASE?!
0:01:46 > 0:01:48All right, quit gleebing!
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Stop throwing it so hard - you're hurting me!
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- No, I'm not! It's all in your imagination.- All right, you two.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01I want you to sit on the barthazoid and watch a datagram.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- What is it?- It belonged to your great-grandfather.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14They called them videos. You can see what life was like in ancient times.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28For next week, research your family history and present it to the class.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32I found out some very interesting things about the Ratburns.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37As you can see, the Ratburn line can be traced far back into history.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40TRANSLATION FROM FRENCH:
0:02:40 > 0:02:42What?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45TRANSLATION FROM LATIN:
0:02:53 > 0:02:58I learned that the Ratburns wouldn't be where they are without hard work.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Let's see what YOU find out.
0:03:01 > 0:03:08I can't wait to start. I'll find lots of royalty in the Crosswire family.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13I'll find some famous Frenskies. Maybe one was an explorer.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18What if my great-grandmother found the land route to the Pacific Ocean?
0:03:18 > 0:03:24- Sorry, Francine, but I think Lewis and Clark did that.- Maybe she helped.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28I-I have to stop. I can barely move my arms.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31You said it, Clark. I'm bushed.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36A bear! We're done for!
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- You're right, Clark. This is the end.- Keep your shirts on.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43BOTH: It's Ma Frensky!
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Take that!
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Take that!
0:03:49 > 0:03:55GO, Ma Frensky! Come on! CHEERS CONTINUE
0:03:59 > 0:04:02One, two, three, four, five...
0:04:02 > 0:04:06six, seven, eight, nine, ten! I win!
0:04:09 > 0:04:14- I want you boys to follow this route till you hit the Pacific.- Good idea!
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Why didn't WE think of that?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19And stay out of trouble, you hear?
0:04:19 > 0:04:24I bet MY ancestor gave YOUR ancestor a medal for being so brave.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- He was probably the president at the time.- Oh, yeah?
0:04:28 > 0:04:34- MY relatives were presidents before AND after him.- It's not a contest.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I'm sure we're ALL related to some really interesting people.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43Grandpa was a tollbooth operator? Wow! And what did HIS father do?
0:04:43 > 0:04:48I don't know WHAT my grandfather did. I never asked him.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Now I really wish I had.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55I'll check in the library. I bet I find stuff about him there.
0:04:55 > 0:05:01Cool! My great-uncle owned a cheese shop! I've found three uncles!
0:05:01 > 0:05:06I'd settle for a second cousin. I haven't found anything.
0:05:06 > 0:05:12- Hi. D'you know where the Crosswire section is?- Huh?- I'll just ask.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19No, I'm sorry. We don't seem to have any books on the Crosswires.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25- But libraries are supposed to have books on important people.- Muffy.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Guess what I just found out. My grandfather owned a castle.- Really?
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- Yep. There's an article here. What d'you find out?- Oh...
0:05:34 > 0:05:40The Crosswires are too important to be HERE. We have private archives.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48This is it? But where are the books about us and the family jewels?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Nothing like that. We're plain folks.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Mother, how can you say such a thing?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Visit your great-aunt, Olga Crump.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00She'll know some interesting things.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05It's my grandfather's lunchbox. My mom found it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08At least now you have a visual aid.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11For the world's shortest report!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I can't even open it. It's stuck.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Hi, guys! How's the report going, Francine?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Great! My grandfather's grandfather
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- was an adviser to President Lincoln. - Oh!
0:06:25 > 0:06:27I'm off to visit my great aunt.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31She's a princess. Bye!
0:06:31 > 0:06:34It wasn't REALLY a lie.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36She COULD be a princess.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42Wait a minute! She's too old to be a princess. She'd have to be a QUEEN!
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Then maybe I'M a princess!
0:06:49 > 0:06:55- I'm sorry I'm late, Your Highness. The limo had a flat.- Anastasia?
0:06:55 > 0:07:01- No. It's Muffy! - Ah, well, you'll do. ..Crown her.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08I'm the long-lost princess of Translatvia? Cool!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Are you SURE this is the right address?
0:07:18 > 0:07:23The Crosswires used to sell used horses, then it was used carts.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26And now it's used cars!
0:07:26 > 0:07:31- This is Juniper. Thought you'd want him for your report.- Thanks.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Francine probably has something from Abraham Lincoln!
0:07:35 > 0:07:41Vingal Frensky advised Abe Lincoln to trim his beard...and he did!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Want the photo to show your class?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Oh, that's all right. I'll describe it to them.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54How about this one? It's of the Hamburger Castle I used to own.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- Hmm...OK.- I have more stuff in the garage. I think there's a box
0:07:59 > 0:08:02with some of Lincoln's beard.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07Now it looks like the type of castle Muffy's family might have.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I'll say the bottom was cut off.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14And then the Crosswires owned ALL of England and France, too!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- But they sold that to the Germans. - I have a picture
0:08:18 > 0:08:24- of my grandpa standing outside his castle.- We owned 100 castles!
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- A Frensky advised Lincoln. - So? Lincoln was my second cousin!
0:08:29 > 0:08:34I think my ancestors were all taken away on a spaceship.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38That makes everything I've said sound believable!
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- I knew it! - Ohhhh, it's no use!
0:08:42 > 0:08:49None of my relatives were rich OR famous. They were just plain folks.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I bet they're still pretty interesting.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Your relatives actually DID exciting things,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00like own castles and advise presidents.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04They really DID do those things... right?
0:09:04 > 0:09:09Oh, yes. Definitely. My ancestors were all really important people.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Hiya, Francie. I found some more photos for you.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Terrific pictures of the inside of the Hamburger Castle.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Uh...thanks.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26I'm sure it's going to be a great report.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Make the Frenskies proud.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Goodnight.- Goodnight!
0:09:32 > 0:09:38Grandpa would be hurt if he knew I was trying to make us seem exciting.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Maybe I should just tell the truth.
0:09:41 > 0:09:47Here's my grandfather making a hamburger. ..Here he is mopping...
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- SNORING - This is a picture of a salt shaker.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58And I thought MY relatives were boring!
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Hi, son. I stopped by to give you this palmetto
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- and wish Francine good luck with her report.- She just left.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17She left the photo album behind. She's going to need that.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22'So, from covered wagons to Cadillacs, the Crosswires
0:10:22 > 0:10:27'have kept the transport industry alive in the US for over 100 years.'
0:10:27 > 0:10:32That's the way it was. This has been Wolf Blitzen. Thank you!
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Very impressive, Muffy. Francine...
0:10:38 > 0:10:44My most important relative was Vingal Frensky,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47advisor to Abraham Lincoln.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Here's a dramatic recreation of one of their important conversations.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Francine! ..Sorry to interrupt, folks. ..Here, Francie.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59You left this at home.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03Would you like to stay for the report?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Like to? I'd LOVE to!
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Uh...
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Uh...
0:11:11 > 0:11:15This is a picture of my grandfather's castle.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Hamburger Castle.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21A Hamburger Castle! Cool! Which one?
0:11:21 > 0:11:26- The one right outside Elwood City. - I've eaten there!- I love it there!
0:11:26 > 0:11:32Vingal Frensky DID advise Abe Lincoln. But just to trim his beard.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36He was a barber. I have some of Lincoln's beard...
0:11:36 > 0:11:38WOW!!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Fascinating!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48That was a great report, Francine.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Sure it wasn't a REAL castle?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Yeah.- You're such a good friend!
0:11:54 > 0:11:59I thought this was all I would have and my report would be boring.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05But then I found this sandwich inside. It's from 1955!
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Mmm! Baloney!
0:12:08 > 0:12:10EUGH!!
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Is that really what life was like 100 years ago?
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- I guess so.- I liked it. But it didn't make a lot of sense.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- I mean, what's a hamburger? - Beats me!
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Have you ever noticed how people's personalities fit them perfectly?
0:12:35 > 0:12:41- We need more homework and quizzes. - I love jokes! They're funny!
0:12:41 > 0:12:48- I'm playing soccer. And so are you. - Oh, you are so rude!
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Imagine if they had different personalities. Weird!
0:12:52 > 0:12:58BUSTER'S VOICE: And for tonight's homework, everyone find a joke.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01If I laugh, you get an A.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06I'm playing soccer... and so are you.
0:13:06 > 0:13:12MUFFY: Oh, you are SO rude! I'd rather go to the mall.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- MR RATBURN: Arthur!- Aaagh!
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Are you daydreaming? 7 x 3 is NOT 28, it's 21.
0:13:20 > 0:13:237 x 1 is 7....
0:13:23 > 0:13:28- 7 x 2 is 14...- OK! OK! ..You see how weird that would be?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32It's much better when people act like themselves.
0:13:32 > 0:13:38- Well, MOST of the time.- And then... I want you to scratch behind my ears.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Yee-ha!
0:13:46 > 0:13:49# There's a level and a rule
0:13:49 > 0:13:52# And keys for all the padlocks
0:13:52 > 0:13:57# Tools don't have to go to school They learn in the magic toolbox! #
0:13:57 > 0:14:02What do you think Sammy Screwdriver's REALLY like?
0:14:02 > 0:14:07- I like Newt the Nut.- I like the part where real kids talk.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10It's coming on, so be quiet!
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Gravity makes us stick to the Earth.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Without it, we'd float away.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Gravity makes an apple hit you on the head.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25I wonder how they choose these kids.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30- Their parents work on the show. - Imagine if they picked YOU!
0:14:30 > 0:14:36"My name is Arthur and my dog is named Pal. Blah, blah, blah!
0:14:36 > 0:14:41"Isn't that interesting?" Here's the audience watching Arthur.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51- Very funny, DW(!) - I always think snoring is funny.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56For this geography quiz, fill in all the country names in the world.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00As always, spelling counts.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Who can tell me where THIS is?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Earth?
0:15:07 > 0:15:12That's right. Very good. Cookies for everybody!
0:15:16 > 0:15:19I'm so sorry to interrupt a quiz...
0:15:20 > 0:15:23..but I have exciting news.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26The TV show, Magic Toolbox,
0:15:26 > 0:15:31is coming here to make a Let's Talk To Some Kids segment!
0:15:31 > 0:15:37Because Mr Ratburn's class is the hardest working, you've been chosen!
0:15:37 > 0:15:40EXCITED CHATTER
0:15:46 > 0:15:49I can't believe we're gonna be on TV!
0:15:49 > 0:15:54The camera won't be able to resist focusing on ME!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57They'll put me on the show for sure!
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Here's the new star of Magic Toolbox...
0:16:00 > 0:16:03FRANCINE FRENSKY!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08I'd better prepare for this. See ya!
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Think she'll get all the attention?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14TV shows need ACTION.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I've gotta go, too. Bye!
0:16:30 > 0:16:33What would YOU do on TV?
0:16:33 > 0:16:39I won't even think about it. I'm working on a science project.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42I'm not thinking about it either.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Bye!
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Gravity is the only scientific principle
0:16:54 > 0:16:57that can hurt your backside.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01What time is it when an elephant sits on your watch?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Time to get a new watch! Thank you! Thank you!
0:17:05 > 0:17:11- What are you doing?- Preparing for TV. Maybe I'll get my own show.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13YOU?!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Hey, DW!
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Hey!- Ohhhh!- I knew it!
0:17:19 > 0:17:23I knew there were little people in the TV! MOM!
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- If I become famous, you can be on TV with me.- No, thanks.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31You'd try to make me look like a brat.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35BUSTER LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY
0:17:37 > 0:17:39"There is no joy in Mudville..."
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Hi, guys.
0:17:41 > 0:17:47- Arthur says you're not gonna prepare anything.- No. I'm busy...
0:17:47 > 0:17:53- working on my science project about nanoseconds.- Oh, yawn!
0:17:53 > 0:17:59- This could be your big chance! - What would he do on TV? Think(?)
0:17:59 > 0:18:04# Every day When you're walking down the street
0:18:04 > 0:18:07# You stop and think... #
0:18:19 > 0:18:23I'm thinking about getting a puppy.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38That would be entertaining(!) ..I'm being sarcastic.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Being on TV isn't important to me.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47- The Brain really DOESN'T care.- This is the saddest thing I ever saw.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Including me not getting a puppy!
0:18:51 > 0:18:56We must help him realise that he's good at things he could do on TV.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Really?- Believe me. I know people.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Behind all that confidence, he's shy.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07You're good at a lot of cool stuff.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Basketball, baseball...
0:19:10 > 0:19:12that thing with all the numbers...
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Math? Yeah. You're good at lots of things.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20What's your point? (What...?)
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- I don't know!- I remember!
0:19:23 > 0:19:26There's plenty of stuff you can do on TV.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30I don't care. I tried everything!
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- There's no reason you shouldn't be confident.- I AM confident.
0:19:36 > 0:19:42- He's not. He just won't admit it. - It's OK if you're afraid.- I'm not!
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- See you tomorrow.- Poor guy!
0:19:47 > 0:19:50KNOCKING Francine?
0:19:50 > 0:19:54You don't want the boys to know you're afraid.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- I have ideas to help make you interesting.- Francine...
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Can you do any imitations? Frog? Cow?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Can you juggle? Or skate?
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Skating's catchy. Very TV.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14I'm really busy with my science project.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- But that isn't on TV! - It's important!
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Goodbye!
0:20:19 > 0:20:22You could be Kazoo Boy!
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Goodbye!
