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

0:00:26 > 0:00:29# Listen to the rhythm of the street
0:00:29 > 0:00:33# Get together and make things better By working together

0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Hey, DW!- Hey...
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Oh...
0:01:08 > 0:01:14During spring vacation, we get a week off school and go to day camp.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19We do lots of fun, new stuff. Our group did Shakespeare.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Macbeth finds the witches in their lair.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Macbeth, you're scared. ..Witches, you're scary.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble...
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Buster's group collected cool ancient things.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39"A look at...antiquities."
0:01:39 > 0:01:43CHILDREN GASP IN WONDER
0:01:44 > 0:01:47MUSIC PLAYS
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Prunella's group did play sculpture.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05How did I end up in THIS group?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Wait until you see what MY group is doing next!
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Oh, no! Not that!
0:02:44 > 0:02:47You're making musical instruments?
0:02:47 > 0:02:53Sue Ellen says it's easy. Our group will have the best project! Thanks!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56CLANKING AND RATTLING
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- What's that sound, Arthur? - Stuff to make musical instruments.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06You're lucky. At least Sue Ellen likes to do cool stuff.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Buster and I want to make a futuristic suit of armour,
0:03:10 > 0:03:14but Muffy wants to weave baskets! ALL: Yeuch!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Wait till I show you how to make instruments!
0:03:20 > 0:03:26It might be good if we read a poem while we played the instruments.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- No-one would hear the poem over the music.- Oh. I guess you're right.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34OK, here's the stuff from my dad.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39I've made my own home versions of each of these. It's really easy!
0:03:39 > 0:03:42RATTLING
0:03:47 > 0:03:53This is Katherine's stuff! We must have taken each other's backpacks!
0:03:53 > 0:03:57What's this? Popular Girl?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02This is a teenage girls' magazine.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05They have strange and mysterious articles.
0:04:05 > 0:04:11"Get a prom date in 12 days or less." What's a prom?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Are you reading Popular Girl? - Not me!
0:04:15 > 0:04:20I can't wait till I'm old enough to know what they're talking about!
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Then I'll be just like that model!
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Hey, is that Popular Science? ..Oh. Never mind.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Here's a quiz. "How likable are you?"
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Let's take it. I bet these tests are really scientific.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41We don't need a dopey test to tell US if people like us. ..Come on.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46"If you were a sandwich, your friends would be -
0:04:46 > 0:04:49"A) potato chips, B) diet soda, C) the plate?"
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- A!- If we end up eating our friends, do we fail the test?
0:04:54 > 0:04:59"Your idea of fun is - A) going to a big party, B) going shopping,
0:04:59 > 0:05:05"C) going to the library?" I like these tests!
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Question 2...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Well, that's the end of that.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20That test was weird! Who thinks of their friends as potato chips?!
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- It was written for teenagers. They think differently.- It's scary.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Sometimes I look at Katherine and think about being her age.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I can't fall asleep for hours!
0:05:35 > 0:05:40- What are you doing?- I kind of wanted to see how likable I am.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Aren't you curious?- No.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Well...maybe a little.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven...
0:05:50 > 0:05:54I scored twelve! "If you scored less than twenty,
0:05:54 > 0:06:00"you are too quiet. Nobody can like you cos nobody knows you're there."
0:06:00 > 0:06:02It's my worst nightmare!
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Binky...Buster...Muffy...
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Where is Fern? She's been absent for four days.- Here I am.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'm gonna have to call her parents.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18This is so depressing.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20"The solution? Be strong.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25"Say what's on your mind whether anyone wants to hear you or not."
0:06:25 > 0:06:29My turn. I scored 125.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- "If you scored over 100..." - You scored way over 100.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38"..you are too good to be true. You scare people with your excellence.
0:06:38 > 0:06:44- "Tone it down."- You ARE good at everything, Sue Ellen.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- SHE PLAYS COMPLICATED SOLO - Yeah!
0:06:53 > 0:06:58What's the point?! I'll NEVER be as good as Sue Ellen!
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I'm frightened by her excellence!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06I might as well never blow again!
0:07:09 > 0:07:13But I don't get it! We have friends!
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- Why do they like us?- Well, this magazine is for teenagers,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21so it must be predicting our future.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26We have to change NOW or we'll be friendless!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28This morning, we focus on karate.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Let's have a demonstration from our expert - Sue Ellen.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Expert? Me? I'm only average! Or less.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Buster, step on up.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44Me? Against her? ..Well...OK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I flipped Sue Ellen.
0:07:50 > 0:07:56- Wow! I flipped Sue Ellen! I must be good!- See? It's working.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- If HE can do that,- I- can do that!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Ohhh.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09This victory feels...hollow.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Don't you feel good about yourself? - You weren't trying!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Try ME!- Huh?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28You flipped Sue Ellen, but Fern flipped YOU!
0:08:28 > 0:08:32It feels like the world's turned upside down.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Everyone's staring at us. That means we're likable.
0:08:36 > 0:08:41I hope you're right. I'm sore all over!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Here's Sue Ellen. She'll know.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Our group is weaving a futuristic fabric.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Do you know any reliable loom techniques?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Well, what I saw...
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Oh. Um...no. Any ideas you have would be much better than mine.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Silver?! Puh-lease! Go with red!
0:09:09 > 0:09:15What's with them? Sue Ellen said our ideas are best, so do what I say.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- Sue Ellen, you were going to show us how to make idiot phones.- Ideophones!
0:09:22 > 0:09:27I mean, that's what I thought the word was. I'm probably wrong.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29TING!
0:09:32 > 0:09:37- Is this right?- Er...yes! Excellent.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Ow!
0:09:42 > 0:09:48OK, potato chips! I've decided I'LL read a poem. You can accompany me.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Wait! When did we decide that?
0:09:50 > 0:09:55- You didn't!- I- did! This group need MY leadership!
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- This group doesn't need a leader. ..Right, Sue Ellen?- Well...
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Sue Ellen has no opinion on this!
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- If you want to boss people about, get your own group.- This used to be fun.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Do you think I was strong enough?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Oh, yes. They definitely know you're there now.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18This is working out well. Isn't it?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Who does that Fern think she is anyway?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Get this stuff off me.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30This is all Sue Ellen's fault. She sabotaged us.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Binky, move! We have to finish our Trojan Horse!
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Why did she do it? Why? I don't understand.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Sue Ellen wasn't making fun of you. Get up!
0:10:45 > 0:10:51She faked the fall. She doesn't even think I'm worth flipping any more!
0:10:57 > 0:11:02We're so good at being likable, everyone hates us.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05We followed what it said. How come we're not like this?
0:11:05 > 0:11:11- You did this because of that stupid magazine?- It said we're not likable.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Did you answer that your friends were diet soda?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- That magazine is goofy. - You don't think I'm too quiet?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Or I'm too good to be true?- No!
0:11:24 > 0:11:29Now, will you come in so we can do our project right?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Yee-ah!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Let's finish this horse!
0:11:51 > 0:11:54How can we split this? It won't cut.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Success!
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Greeks rule and Trojans drool!
0:12:02 > 0:12:05THEY PLAY MUSIC
0:12:05 > 0:12:11I can't believe we acted so dumb! I like being good at what I do.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14And I HATE telling people what to do.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17How can anyone take a test like that seriously?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21"If you scored over 200..."
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Oh, I have a lot of work to do.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28According to this, I don't give out enough homework!
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Everybody's got upset by something some time.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Like the time DW lost her blankie.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Or when DW lost her CD of Crazy Bus.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Or when DW lost her snowball.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46DW'S SHOUTS ECHO
0:12:46 > 0:12:51OK, maybe DW is upset more than most people. Bad example.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56A good example is Francine. That time she hit a high fly.
0:12:56 > 0:13:02It looked like she'd won the game for us. Then the wind shifted.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06She was really upset.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12Then there was the time the Brain got excited about the space probe.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18- Is something wrong, Brain?- The probe won't get to Saturn for seven years.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22How can I stand waiting seven years to see photos of Saturn?
0:13:22 > 0:13:25But I know someone who's always happy.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29He's never been upset for more than three seconds.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34Buster Baxter - the happiest, jolliest, most fun...
0:13:34 > 0:13:39- What's wrong?- Hmph! - What is it? Buster!
0:13:46 > 0:13:51'If I don't get free, I won't be able to deliver the medicine!'
0:13:51 > 0:13:55Did you write your report before watching TV?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Yeah, almost. Well, actually, no.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- You know our homework policy.- OK.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Oh! How did he get out?!
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- Did you see how Bionic Bunny got free?- No, I was doing my report.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Mine's kind of weak. I did it fast after Bionic Bunny.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- But I came up with a great joke for it!- For your history report?- Yeah!
0:14:20 > 0:14:25On TV, this ad said a successful speech starts with a joke.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I wish I could try it out.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- Can I try a joke on you?- OK. I like to laugh as much as the next guy.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Oh, dear. Oh, my. Oh.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38OK, the guy after the next guy.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Ready? What did King Tut say when he got scared?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I want my mummy!
0:14:49 > 0:14:52You made that up? Good one.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57This is gonna be my BEST report ever! Guaranteed A!
0:14:57 > 0:15:03- Want me to write a joke for YOUR report?- No, thanks.- Are you sure?
0:15:04 > 0:15:09"Christopher Columbus got lost but did something great anyway,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12"so he's my favourite historical figure."
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I'm next. Wish me luck.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19What did King Tut say when the sphinx scared him?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I want my mummy!
0:15:23 > 0:15:27He told my joke! I can't believe it! He...
0:15:27 > 0:15:30My... He... He told my joke!
0:15:30 > 0:15:34Quiet, please. Mr Baxter, read your report.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38It was mine. My joke! He told MY joke!
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Er...my report is about King Tut.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53What d'you call two banana peels?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56CHILDREN: A pair of slippers.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59My sister will take us skating.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04He told my joke. It was mine! I made it up and everything.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Binky shouldn't have done that. He was wrong. So, want to go skating?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11He told MY joke!
0:16:11 > 0:16:16You're gonna have to work a little harder next time.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23No matter how fancy you make a D, it's still a D.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27D for disaster. D for deadly.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30D for Binky told my joke!
0:16:30 > 0:16:36That joke was the difference between a successful report and a flop.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42- I win again! Are you paying attention?- It was MY joke!
0:16:43 > 0:16:46(Binky's report was about Columbus.)
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Who ends a Columbus report with a joke about King Tut?!
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Binky does. Now, shh!
0:16:56 > 0:17:01You know what I just found out? Ratburn gave Binky a B plus!
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I want my mummy!
0:17:08 > 0:17:14I was gonna give you an F, but that joke...! You deserve a higher grade!
0:17:15 > 0:17:19My joke got him that B plus!
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Great shot, Buster! Aren't you happy you won the game for us?
0:17:24 > 0:17:30- Binky told my joke!- Why do you keep telling US?! Talk to Binky about it!
0:17:30 > 0:17:33You think I won't?! Just watch me!
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- Hey, Binky!- Yeah?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- Well?- Have you ever noticed how large he is?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I'll never get payback for that joke!
0:17:48 > 0:17:53I feel better already! Now HE'LL know how it feels to be embarrassed!
0:17:56 > 0:18:01- What's wrong?- Everyone's laughing, just like when he told the joke.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Everyone thinks Binky's funny.
0:18:03 > 0:18:08- So what if people think he's funny? - Binky doesn't care about funny.
0:18:08 > 0:18:14It's ME who cares about funny. It's ME who memorises joke books
0:18:14 > 0:18:19and practises making faces in the mirror! I have to work at it.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24- You know how long I worked on that joke?- Longer than on your report!
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Yeah, but Binky...
0:18:26 > 0:18:32Haven't you noticed that anything he does seems kind of...funny?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35You're thinking about Binky too much.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39It won't matter after the talent show tomorrow.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42He'll be sorry he stole my joke.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55Thank you, Sue Ellen, for that demonstration of pumpkin kicking.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59And now the comedy stylings of Buster Baxter!
0:18:59 > 0:19:03At least he won't be talking about Binky!
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I think he's gotten over it.
0:19:05 > 0:19:12- Hi, everyone. There's a kid in my class named Binky Barnes.- Oh, no!
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Nobody has a bad thing to say about Binky, in case they get pounded.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Binky wrote a history report about Columbus.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Columbus - that's Italian for, "Boy, am I lost!"
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I wrote a report about King Tut
0:19:26 > 0:19:30and I wrote a good King Tut joke to open it.
0:19:30 > 0:19:36Binky told my King Tut joke in his Columbus report. Everybody laughed.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38You know what the punch line was?
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- He told MY joke that- I- wrote and I got a D!
0:19:44 > 0:19:50- I don't get it.- I think it's a pun. - Well, it wasn't very PUNNY.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Punny!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57And the winner is...George!
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I can't believe I didn't win!
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Win?! You didn't tell a single joke!
0:20:05 > 0:20:08That was the comedy of truth. All the greats do it.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12I should have just told jokes. This is all Binky's fault.
0:20:12 > 0:20:18I don't think Buster will ever stop holding this grudge against Binky!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Our first day of college, Buster! Isn't it exciting?!
0:20:23 > 0:20:30- Binky's not here, is he? He told my joke! It was a good joke.- ..Grrrr.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40Binky told my joke. It was in Mr Ratburn's third-grade class...
0:20:45 > 0:20:50If I make this shot, it's the best game of my life!
0:20:53 > 0:20:58He told my joke! It was a good King Tut joke!
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Buster! You can't stay mad at Binky for ever!
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- It doesn't do any good! - Yes, it does! If I keep it up,
0:21:12 > 0:21:17I'll make sure Binky gets a D and is totally miserable all the time!
0:21:17 > 0:21:21That's exactly what's happening to you!
0:21:21 > 0:21:27- Holding a grudge is hurting YOU! - I know what you're trying to say.
0:21:27 > 0:21:33- You do?- The only way I can be happy is if Binky never told that joke.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Yeah, and it's too late for that.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40- So, to stop him, I must travel back in time and change the past.- What?
0:21:40 > 0:21:46I need a time machine. Or a rocket that can travel at light speed.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51- You can't change the past! - Oh, I can't, can't I?!
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- You can't change the past.- Oh, rats!
0:21:58 > 0:22:03I was mad when I didn't get a green ice-cream cake when I was four.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08- Yeah?- I'm still mad about it. I'll stay mad until I get it!
0:22:08 > 0:22:13- But staying mad won't get you what you want.- But YOU think it will.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18It's just that, after all the work I did on that report, Binky ruined it!
0:22:18 > 0:22:23Buster, you hardly did ANY work! Your whole report was about eggnog!
0:22:23 > 0:22:28That's not my fault! It's right next to Egypt in the encyclopaedia!
0:22:28 > 0:22:32I guess it WAS my fault. I deserve a D.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Binky! Hey!
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- I just wanted to tell you I'm not mad any more.- You were mad?
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- About you stealing my joke. - What joke?
0:22:43 > 0:22:48What does King Tut say when he gets scared? I want my mummy!
0:22:48 > 0:22:52That's funny! I think I've heard it before, though.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56You heard it when you stole it from me and told the class!
0:22:56 > 0:23:01When somebody tells you a joke, you're supposed to pass it on.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07But I made it up for my report and then you used it. That's stealing.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Well, I didn't mean to steal it. Here's, um...
0:23:11 > 0:23:1470...73 cents
0:23:14 > 0:23:18and a sticker of a cool car and a button.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21That's all I have. Sorry!
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- What did he say?- He gave me 73 cents, a sticker of a cool car
0:23:25 > 0:23:31and a button for my joke. I got paid for writing a joke!
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I'm a professional!
0:23:34 > 0:23:39With your being naturally funny and me making up good jokes,
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I bet we could really go places.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46- Like my own TV show?- Sure. You and me and Arthur...
0:23:46 > 0:23:51Us, maybe. But I don't think Arthur. Who'd want to watch him on TV?
