0:01:12 > 0:01:15'No, it's my Woogle!'

0:01:15 > 0:01:17# They bounce like a ball

0:01:17 > 0:01:22# They stretch like a snake And shimmy and shake

0:01:22 > 0:01:26# Smile when you hold them Cry when you don't

0:01:26 > 0:01:28# They're Woogles, Woogles!

0:01:28 > 0:01:33# They say something cute if you give them a squeeze

0:01:33 > 0:01:39- # Can I have a hug, pretty please? - Put them in hats or even a dress

0:01:39 > 0:01:44# And they're better than pets Cos they don't make a mess! #

0:01:44 > 0:01:49'Woogles come in every colour of the rainbow! Collect them all!

0:01:49 > 0:01:52'Take me home today!'

0:01:52 > 0:01:57Ha! Woogles(!) Who would ever buy something so dumb?!

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Hey, Buster? Buster?!

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Oh, brother!

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Yahoo!

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Buster, I can't believe you bought one of those. They're so dorky!

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Yeah, you're right, but I like it anyway.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Why?- I don't know.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28- IT GIGGLES - His name's Bilbo.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34You got Bilbo? That's one I didn't get!

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Say hello to Snuffles.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40- "Hi, Snuffles!"- "Atchoo!"

0:02:40 > 0:02:45This is a joke, right? You guys don't really think they're cool...

0:02:45 > 0:02:50- do you?- Come on, Buster. He just doesn't get it.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55Does yours like to sit under lamps? I was worried about him melting...

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Huh?!

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Francine, Buster and Muffy just... AAH!

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Oh, Arthur. You sat on Archie!

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Archie?! You bought one, too?

0:03:10 > 0:03:15- Sure. Why not? That was worth it! - Ohhh!

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Arthur, you look so...Woogle-less.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32I got two Archies. Have one. Here.

0:03:32 > 0:03:38- No, thanks. I don't need those dumb things.- OK, it's a free country,

0:03:38 > 0:03:41but don't say that to my Woogle!

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Did that mean boy hurt Archie?

0:03:48 > 0:03:53Hey, Brain, I'm glad I'm not the only one not playing with a Woogle!

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Why are kids so into those things?

0:03:56 > 0:04:02It's a fad, Arthur, briefly capturing the imagination.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- What?!- Maybe Tiny Einy can explain.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09Fun = you times me squared!

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Ohh!

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Woogles...

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Why...?

0:04:17 > 0:04:22Let's have a great class picture! Big smiles!

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Wait! Where's your Woogle?

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Yeah, you - bow-tie!

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Um... I don't have one.

0:04:36 > 0:04:41Oh, this is a disaster! Let me think, let me think...

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Aha!

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Are you sure I don't look doofy?

0:04:46 > 0:04:51No, kid, you look great. No-one will notice the difference.

0:04:53 > 0:04:58After that, everyone called me Broccoli Head.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02Father, do you mean you don't have a Woogle to give me?

0:05:02 > 0:05:08- Every kid has their parents' old Woogle!- No, I don't have one.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12- Sorry. - CRYING

0:05:12 > 0:05:17Oh, the shame! I only hope there are some kind grown-ups out there

0:05:17 > 0:05:21with extra Woogles who will take us in.

0:05:24 > 0:05:29# Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head!

0:05:29 > 0:05:33# No Woogle Broccoli Head! #

0:05:33 > 0:05:36NO! No, no, no!

0:05:36 > 0:05:41No...no... not Broccoli Head...

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Wow!

0:05:44 > 0:05:49Sold out?! There was a huge box of them just yesterday!

0:05:49 > 0:05:52They went like hot cakes.

0:05:52 > 0:05:58"No Woogles." "Sold out." "No more you-know-whats."

0:06:02 > 0:06:07Muffy, there isn't a Woogle left in any store in town.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Can I buy one? Please?

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Sure. You can have one cheap.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15That'll be 27.

0:06:15 > 0:06:21- You said cheap!- That IS cheap, according to the Woogles Price Guide.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25- I only have 5! - Then you don't have a Woogle.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Hey!

0:06:29 > 0:06:32I'll take one! I'll take one!

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Poogles?!

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Eeeew!

0:06:41 > 0:06:46- Hi, guys. Mind if WE join you? - What's that?!

0:06:46 > 0:06:50It's my Woogle. His name is Charles.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54- I don't think so! - OK, I don't know his name.

0:06:54 > 0:07:00- But it's a Woogle.- Arthur, Woogles stretch like a snake.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07And they shimmy and shake.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13And they bounce like a ball.

0:07:16 > 0:07:22- And they say something cute if you give them a squeeze.- 'I wuv you!'

0:07:25 > 0:07:31- Hey, Arthur, you bought a Poogle?! - Poogles?- Poogles?- Eeeew!

0:07:31 > 0:07:36I knew it was a Poogle. I meant to buy one.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Waaaaah!

0:07:42 > 0:07:44Everyone has one but me.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48I just feel really left out.

0:07:48 > 0:07:53That's how fads work. Everyone just has to have it now.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56But soon no-one will even care.

0:07:56 > 0:08:02But it's not soon now! It's now now! And everybody cares a lot!

0:08:02 > 0:08:04I wish I could help.

0:08:04 > 0:08:09I remember when your father... Wait a minute!

0:08:09 > 0:08:12I bet I still have it.

0:08:12 > 0:08:18- Have what?- Rocky! Your father's pet rock!

0:08:18 > 0:08:20They were all the rage 20 years ago.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23Here, you can have it.

0:08:31 > 0:08:37Binky! I can't let him see me with this! He'll laugh at me!

0:08:39 > 0:08:44- Hey, what's in the cage? - Has your Poogle been bad(?)

0:08:44 > 0:08:48It's not a Poogle. It's a pet rock.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- What does it do?- Um...

0:08:51 > 0:08:54It rocks! Get it?

0:08:54 > 0:09:00- BOTH: Yeah.- Poor Arthur. Not having a Woogle has messed him up bad.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Hey, Arthur! Cool rock!

0:09:06 > 0:09:10After school, you'll visit Muffy and all her Woogle pals.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15- We can sit by the pool. - Oh, hi, Buster!

0:09:15 > 0:09:19I'm gonna talk to Arthur. OK?

0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Bilbo says hi.- I was wondering.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26Is it possible Woogles aren't good for you?

0:09:26 > 0:09:32- What?- Well, we haven't played hockey in days.

0:09:32 > 0:09:37It's Woogle, Woogle, day and night, like you can't help yourself.

0:09:37 > 0:09:42I don't need it. I could get rid of it at any time and not care.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Are you sure?

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Oh!

0:09:53 > 0:09:59- Hey, let go! It's mine!- You don't want it! You put it in the trash!

0:09:59 > 0:10:02It doesn't count! You tricked me!

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Waaah!- Oh!

0:10:07 > 0:10:13- Poor Bilbo.- Can I just see it? I've never even held one.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16All right. Just two seconds.

0:10:19 > 0:10:24- Time's up! What did you think? - It wasn't so great.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Can I have another two seconds?- No.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- How about one?- Uh-uh.

0:10:31 > 0:10:36Can I sit with you? You're the only other kid without that dopey toy.

0:10:36 > 0:10:41Yeah. Dorky! You couldn't pay me to have one!

0:10:41 > 0:10:45Hey, Binky, I got it! Enjoy!

0:10:46 > 0:10:49'BURP!'

0:10:49 > 0:10:52It burps! Check it out!

0:10:58 > 0:11:02'Have no fear! Bionic Bunny is here!

0:11:02 > 0:11:06'Keeping the world safe from... from...'

0:11:06 > 0:11:09There's nobody left to play bad guy!

0:11:11 > 0:11:17Arthur, you're all by yourself. Take this and come play with us.

0:11:17 > 0:11:22- Gee, thanks.- But first you have to admit you were wrong

0:11:22 > 0:11:24- and always wanted one!- What?!

0:11:24 > 0:11:30- Say, "I always loved Woogles" and it's yours.- OK, I always loved...

0:11:30 > 0:11:33No, I can't say that.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36But...OK, OK.

0:11:36 > 0:11:41No! I still think they're dweeby! I don't even know why I want one!

0:11:41 > 0:11:46I bet even this is more fun than a Woogle!

0:11:48 > 0:11:52Yeah, like a cap is more fun than a loveable Woogle(!)

0:11:52 > 0:11:57- CLICK! CLICK! - Hey, cool!

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Hey, I want one!

0:12:03 > 0:12:09Here, Arthur. This is for doing so well on your report card.

0:12:12 > 0:12:18Gee, Grandma, thanks, but you were right about these just being a fad.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22Now it's juice caps! They're really fun!

0:12:22 > 0:12:25CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!

0:12:32 > 0:12:36Oh, hello. Are you looking for Arthur?

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Arthur! ..He must be doing homework.

0:12:42 > 0:12:47I'm working on my latest creation. It's bold, risky!

0:12:47 > 0:12:52No other chef has dared to combine what I have combined.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Cinnamon toast souffle!

0:12:54 > 0:12:59The only problem is getting them out of the toaster. Hmm...

0:12:59 > 0:13:04Like all great inventors - Galileo, Wright Brothers - I have setbacks.

0:13:04 > 0:13:09And I'm used to my experiments being misunderstood.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12For dessert, chunky pudding balls!

0:13:14 > 0:13:16BOTH: Bleugh!

0:13:17 > 0:13:21Anyone for cranberry prune crumble?

0:13:21 > 0:13:26- Er, I don't like broken food. - Shouldn't we snack on vegetables?

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Oh! It's delicious!

0:13:29 > 0:13:31- Bleugh!- Bleugh!

0:13:31 > 0:13:36Oh, well. If Da Vinci could deal with it, so can I.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39Arthur, I need someone to taste this.

0:13:39 > 0:13:41Arthur?

0:13:48 > 0:13:55And so, in 1609, Galileo built the first astronomical telescope.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Tomorrow is his birthday.

0:13:57 > 0:14:02We'll celebrate by studying his theory of the solar system.

0:14:02 > 0:14:08We should have a birthday party! That would help us learn better.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10We'd need cake and ice cream.

0:14:10 > 0:14:17- Cake...- To celebrate his birthday without cake seems...disrespectful.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21- We can't disrespect Galileo! - All right.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25- I'll bring ice cream! - And chocolate chip cookies!

0:14:25 > 0:14:31Excellent! And I'll cut five questions off your Galileo quiz.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34I wish he'd give us peanut brittle!

0:14:34 > 0:14:40Mom, we're having a class party! I said you'd bake cookies.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44- Honey, I have three deadlines to meet.- Baking?

0:14:44 > 0:14:50- No.- I'll bake you something.- Um... it won't be anything weird?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53When have I made anything weird?

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- WATCH BEEPS - Gotta check my turnip muffins!

0:14:56 > 0:14:59Ohhh...!

0:14:59 > 0:15:04- He'll come up with something very unique.- That's what I'm afraid of!

0:15:05 > 0:15:08And here it is!

0:15:08 > 0:15:11What is it?

0:15:11 > 0:15:17Honeycake shaped as the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Galileo, Italy...

0:15:17 > 0:15:23- I said cookies, not a whole tower of pizza!- Arthur!

0:15:23 > 0:15:25It's nice, Dad. Thanks.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- What is it?!- It seems to be glorifying poor architecture!

0:15:36 > 0:15:39I DON'T wanna eat it!

0:15:39 > 0:15:44I give this cake and its owner a D! D for disgusting!

0:15:47 > 0:15:49CHATTER

0:15:56 > 0:16:01- Your mom's ice cream is great! - Weren't you bringing something?

0:16:01 > 0:16:03MUMBLES

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Oh, my! ARTHUR GULPS

0:16:10 > 0:16:13I've never seen anything like this.

0:16:16 > 0:16:21'What IS it?! D for disgusting!'

0:16:21 > 0:16:25- This is delicious!- Huh?

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Mmm! Who brought this cake?

0:16:28 > 0:16:31- I did! My dad made it.- I want some!

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Is there a party?

0:16:34 > 0:16:39- Try the cake Arthur's father made. - ..Oh, yummy!

0:16:39 > 0:16:43I'd love this to serve to my class.

0:16:43 > 0:16:48- My dad can make it. No problem. - Oh, Arthur, you're a sweetheart!

0:16:50 > 0:16:55- Everyone loved it! - That's great, Arthur.

0:16:55 > 0:16:59I said you'd make one for Miss Sweetwater's class.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03- What? - Arthur got cake! I didn't!

0:17:03 > 0:17:09Giving some students cake and not others is against the law!

0:17:09 > 0:17:13If you want a cake, DW, I'll make you one.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15I'm a hit!

0:17:17 > 0:17:21This was brought to us by Arthur Read.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Thanks, Arthur!

0:17:25 > 0:17:30Ahem. I've an important note to deliver. Be right back.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Arthur, what are you doing?!

0:17:40 > 0:17:47Here's the spring reading list. ..Oh? Are you having cake?

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Please, join us.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53Mm-mm-mm!

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Everyone wants my cake!

0:18:00 > 0:18:03Hey! When else do we need cake?

0:18:06 > 0:18:11- Dad, can you make dessert for our band recital?- Another one?

0:18:11 > 0:18:15Performing is hard. We need energy from sugar.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18I have tons of orders to fill today.

0:18:18 > 0:18:23Please? You're more popular than Bionic Bunny!

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Really? Well, then...

0:18:26 > 0:18:31Great. There are 20 in the band. That's probably one cake.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34- And two more for the audience.- Huh?!

0:18:35 > 0:18:38He's getting a bit carried away.

0:18:38 > 0:18:43Before, he wouldn't take one bite of my chocolate-dipped ham.

0:18:43 > 0:18:48Now... It's only a few more desserts.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51I can handle that...I guess.

0:18:53 > 0:18:58Arthur's three cakes, beef stroganoff and some jelly rolls.

0:19:03 > 0:19:08Bleugh! Beef roll and raspberry stroganoff(!)

0:19:08 > 0:19:11Great(!)

0:19:14 > 0:19:17Mmm!

0:19:17 > 0:19:21This is the best dessert ever. Or since Monday, at least.

0:19:21 > 0:19:25Er, here's the spring class list...

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Oh? Are you having cake?

0:19:27 > 0:19:33Your desserts have made you the most popular kid in school!

0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Hey!- Hi! Good to see you!

0:19:37 > 0:19:41I'm really busy. I gotta go. Later!

0:19:41 > 0:19:46You've got a birthday coming up? Cake, no problem!

0:19:49 > 0:19:51Oh, puh-lease!

0:19:53 > 0:19:58When your mom has the next bake sale, tell her to give me a call.

0:19:58 > 0:20:03Here's some Rocky Road mix. I'd hate the surplus to go to waste.

0:20:03 > 0:20:08Bring your extra ice cream any time, even if it's just one teaspoon,

0:20:08 > 0:20:11even one molecule!

0:20:11 > 0:20:16- What?!- Ice cream is the best dessert ever!

0:20:16 > 0:20:18No!

0:20:21 > 0:20:24- WATCH BEEPS - Uh-oh!

0:20:24 > 0:20:31- Is Dad in the house?- Why? What's wrong?- I need desserts - fast!

0:20:31 > 0:20:36Arthur, you can't keep asking your father.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39Why? Dad loves it. He said so.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43He's been working really hard. He wants to help,

0:20:43 > 0:20:46but do you think it's fair to ask?

0:20:46 > 0:20:51No. I'll wait a while before I ask him to make any more desserts.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59An hour and a half is long enough!

0:20:59 > 0:21:05Four cakes, six pies and a sachertorte. That'll stop Brain!

0:21:08 > 0:21:12You said our food would be ready at four!

0:21:12 > 0:21:14It's four. I don't see any food.

0:21:14 > 0:21:20I'm a little behind schedule, Ed. I had a special cake order to do.

0:21:20 > 0:21:25- I'll have everything done in two hours.- I hope so!

0:21:25 > 0:21:30Otherwise, I'll take my business elsewhere.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37- What's wrong?- Dad got behind in his work doing my cakes.

0:21:37 > 0:21:43- Mr Crosswire's mad. Dad might lose his business.- Lose his business?!

0:21:43 > 0:21:46We'll end up on the street!

0:21:46 > 0:21:50Mr Crosswire's business, not Dad's!

0:21:50 > 0:21:54Our furniture will end up on the street!

0:21:54 > 0:21:57What will I do? I need these!

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Your crazy demands will destroy us!

0:22:00 > 0:22:04- Give it back! - What's going on?

0:22:04 > 0:22:09Arthur ruined your business! Put him on the street first!

0:22:09 > 0:22:14I was just using your desserts to make everyone like me.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17I'm sorry I made you get behind.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20You know I'll help you if I can,

0:22:20 > 0:22:23but I'd prefer if you ASK me.

0:22:23 > 0:22:27That's how a family works. We co-operate.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31I wish there was a way to make it up to you.

0:22:31 > 0:22:36Well, I could use a hand right now. Do you have time to help me?

0:22:36 > 0:22:41- Sure!- Me, too - even though it's Arthur's fault!

0:23:13 > 0:23:15All done!

0:23:15 > 0:23:20Phew! I never knew cooking was such hard work!

0:23:20 > 0:23:24Thanks to you, I could make a cake for us.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Arthur, I brought you the spring reading.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30Oh? Are you having cake?

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Oh, brother!

0:23:47 > 0:23:50Brownie cake!
