0:00:02 > 0:00:06# Every day when you're walking down the street, everybody that you meet
0:00:06 > 0:00:11# Has an original point of view
0:00:11 > 0:00:15# And I say, hey! What a wonderful kind of day
0:00:15 > 0:00:21# If you could learn to work and play And get along with each other

0:00:58 > 0:01:02Hey, DW!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Hey!- Oh!
0:01:08 > 0:01:12I love the library. There are so many books to read.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17But the best thing about the library is...it's quiet.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22- Arthur?- Except on days when I have to bring DW.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25- What does this say?- The.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Another great thing is I can check out all these books.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35- Arthur?- What is it now? - What does this word say?- Red.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39To take books out, you need a library card. It's easy to get one.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- All you do is...- Arthur?- What?!
0:01:43 > 0:01:48- How about this word? - Dog! The Red Dog. OK? Got it?
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Stop being so noisy. The sign says "No Talking".
0:01:53 > 0:01:58If I can't read The Red Dog, how can I read that sign?!
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Just go pester someone else. I'm busy.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07- Where was I? Oh, yeah. To get a library card...- Ssh!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10(The sign says "No Talking"!)
0:02:17 > 0:02:22And he published a rondo in C minor when he was only 15 years old.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25DW, stop bugging Binky.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27It's time for your puppet show.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32Binky was reading to me about Chopin, the great romantic composer.
0:02:32 > 0:02:38No, I wasn't! His name was Choppin'! A karate master. You didn't listen.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- Sorry if she bothered you.- It's OK. Kids should hear important stuff...
0:02:43 > 0:02:46like karate.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Oh! Arthur, look! A book on frogs!
0:02:53 > 0:02:58- Take it out for me. - Hopalong the Frog? Forget it!
0:02:58 > 0:03:02But it's about frogs! Please, please!
0:03:02 > 0:03:07I can't take out baby books on MY library card!
0:03:11 > 0:03:17Warning! Reader is a baby! Adult books are off limits!
0:03:17 > 0:03:23Sorry, Arthur. The last book you took out was Hopalong the Frog.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27From now on you can only take out BABY books!
0:03:32 > 0:03:34# Arthur's a baby! #
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Sorry. There's too much at stake.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Some day I'll get my own library card!
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Then I'll take out whatever I want.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52CHEERING Thank you. Are there any questions?
0:03:52 > 0:03:56When can WE get library cards?
0:03:56 > 0:04:03You ARE old enough, DW. I am? I'll take one! No, two!
0:04:03 > 0:04:07THEY ALL SHOUT Settle down, children.
0:04:07 > 0:04:13- You just have to write your name. - I KNEW there was a catch!
0:04:13 > 0:04:20- We can write our names!- I can hardly say my name! How can I write it?!
0:04:20 > 0:04:25You have it easy. You're not Aloysius Zimmerplotz!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Oh, no! I ran out of room again!
0:04:30 > 0:04:35When I have my own library card, I'll get Hopalong the Frog.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41- You can't do anything about it. - But you can't read.- So what?
0:04:41 > 0:04:47- You just have to write your name. - You can't.- I know, but I'll learn.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49You'll see.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19Dopa Minifred Reaped? Who's that?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I can't do it!
0:05:23 > 0:05:29There are too many letters in my name. Why didn't you name me "A"?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32You seem to have Dora Winifred down.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Quick, Dad! More mashed potatoes!
0:05:38 > 0:05:44I wrote my name. I wrote my name! Look out, world - DW Read writes!
0:05:45 > 0:05:51Dora Winifred Read... Dora Winifred Read...
0:05:52 > 0:05:57I bet DW messes up her name and doesn't get her library card.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02- Yeah, she can't even spell D! - I can! I already spelt it 100 times!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04It's time to get in line.
0:06:04 > 0:06:10What if they're right? What if I forget my own name? What IS my name?
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- I forgot it! I forgot my name! - Good luck, DW.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Oh, yeah. DW. But what does that stand for?
0:06:18 > 0:06:22I can't remember!
0:06:26 > 0:06:32Very nice. Dora Winifred Read. Here's your card.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Look, Arthur! You didn't think I could do it, but I did it!
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Now I can take out any book I want!
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Now I know what true power feels like.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Hey, where's Hopalong the Frog? It was here before.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Ask for it at the front desk.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Sorry, it was just checked out. It'll be back a week from today.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I can't wait that long!
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Saturday is when it's due.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Come on, DW.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15OK...
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- Is it back yet? - No.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- How about now? - Uh-uh.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26TELEPHONE RINGS
0:07:26 > 0:07:29No, it's not in yet.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Not yet, DW.- Hmm!
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Not yet, DW!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52What if Saturday never comes?
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Are there leap weeks like leap years, Arthur?
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Relax. It's only 12 hours away. Now let me sleep.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08- Wake up, Arthur! Tomorrow's today and today is yesterday!- Huh?
0:08:08 > 0:08:15- It's Saturday!- But it's...6.30! The library isn't even open yet.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19But we have to be the first there. Here's your cereal.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25But it has to be here! You said it was due today.
0:08:25 > 0:08:31- - It might be late. - Late?!- Get some other baby book.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36I want Hopalong the Frog! And it's not a baby book!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40I'm not spending all Saturday here.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Fine, go home. I'll tell Mommy you left me here all alone.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Grr!
0:08:51 > 0:08:56- Huh?- Somebody's returning a big book! This might be it!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Dora Winifred Read. Is that about frogs?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Uh, no. It's Chippy the Choo-choo.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Oh! It'll never come.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09< Hi, DW!
0:09:09 > 0:09:12YOU had the book!
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I should have known! Ah! You hurt it! It's all wrinkly!
0:09:16 > 0:09:20It was like that. It's an old book.
0:09:20 > 0:09:26- We would never hurt a library book. - They'd take away your card forever.
0:09:26 > 0:09:32- Really? - Here you go. Take good care of it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Or else!
0:09:36 > 0:09:43I've been waiting so long for this moment. ..Oh!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45AAAAAH!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48What have I done?!
0:09:48 > 0:09:52You can never have another library card again!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57But I worked so hard for that card!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01# More books for us! More books for us! #
0:10:01 > 0:10:06I told you you'd never have a library card!
0:10:06 > 0:10:11- I told you! - It's not fair!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13It's not fair!
0:10:13 > 0:10:18I know you're just going to bug me all night to read you that book,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- so let's get it over with now.- No!
0:10:21 > 0:10:25You've done enough for me. Maybe later.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Huh?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Hmm, I knew it. You forgot what today is.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- I didn't. It's Saturday. - You've to return your book.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Today? I thought it would never come!
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- Oven mitts?- To keep the book safe.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05It's not going to explode. How was it, anyway?
0:11:05 > 0:11:11I never opened it. I was afraid I'd lose my library card.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Why would you lose it?
0:11:13 > 0:11:18The Tibbles said if you hurt a book they take away your card forever.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23And it's an old book. It could fall apart any minute.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I'll open it if you're so worried.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Hey! I took this book out! That's my name.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36You used to have to write it here.
0:11:36 > 0:11:41This is the very first book I ever took out of the library!
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- 'My first book!'- A baby book?!
0:11:44 > 0:11:50No, I loved this book. It's great for little kids. Listen to this.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55"Hopalong the Frog hopped onto a log. It started floating away...
0:11:55 > 0:11:58"The end."
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- SHE SOBS - What's wrong, DW?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Didn't you like it?
0:12:03 > 0:12:09I loved it! I'm just sad I have to return it now.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14- Yeah, but you can take it right out again.- I can?
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Arthur's going to read it to me every single day! Twice a day!
0:12:19 > 0:12:26At morning and at night! Then I'm going to renew it again and again...
0:12:26 > 0:12:28What have I done?!
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Presenting the main event!
0:12:40 > 0:12:44The champion - Arthu-u-u-ur Read!
0:12:44 > 0:12:46CHEERING
0:12:46 > 0:12:53I've been waiting for this fight for years. There's no way I can lose.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57And the challenger - Dora Winifred Read!
0:13:18 > 0:13:20MUFFLED:
0:13:20 > 0:13:27What? This doesn't help - I can't read!
0:13:27 > 0:13:32Get ready to...fight!
0:13:33 > 0:13:36< Arthur?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42No, not two DW's. There's only one.
0:13:46 > 0:13:52- We figured you'd rather fight someone your own size.- You're right.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57You wait here. I'll go find someone.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02- Come back and fight! - DW GIGGLES
0:14:09 > 0:14:15- What kind of game is that?- It's a model of a Bell X-1 rocket plane.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18It broke the sound barrier.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23The sound barrier must be pretty hard. This is all smashed up.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28I'm going to build it. Stop touching everything. You'll mix them up.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Toys that come already broken?!
0:14:31 > 0:14:36I'm going! Never say I don't go when you want me to go. I'm going.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Like that. I'm on my way out. No waiting.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- Go, already! - If you say please...
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Grrr!
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- Is that the same plane?- Oh!
0:14:55 > 0:15:01- Don't do that! I need to concentrate.- That's a pretty colour.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Aah!- Bye!
0:15:05 > 0:15:10I've been working on it all week. I'm almost done.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14DW, don't touch that! The paint isn't dry!
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Eeew!
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Mommy! Arthur made my hands orange!
0:15:20 > 0:15:25I never thought about it before, but being an only child is nice.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28It's the best thing I ever made.
0:15:28 > 0:15:34Arthur Read, you win the blue ribbon.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47This calls for a celebration snack.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Did I hear you say cookies?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Good boy!
0:16:01 > 0:16:05DW Read to headquarters. Sound barrier broken.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08What's my next mission, General?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14There's a good breeze today, General.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22Arthur Read, winner of 5,000 blue ribbons, wishes to land!
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Arthur? That plane's all wrong. It doesn't fly at all.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35No, DW, I made it exactly right...
0:16:35 > 0:16:37What?!
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Aaaaah!
0:16:52 > 0:16:57It broke the sound barrier, so falling out of a window should be OK.
0:16:57 > 0:17:04- I told you not to touch it! - Did you even read the directions?
0:17:04 > 0:17:09It didn't fly for one second. It's not my fault if it can't fly.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I told you not to touch it!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Aaaaah!
0:17:18 > 0:17:23- Arthur Timothy Read? Come here! - Uh-oh.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26The middle name!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Are they going to have to amputake my arm?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Honey, it's amputate, not amputake.
0:17:34 > 0:17:40- They're gonna amputate?!- No. I'm in charge and I'm putting ice on it.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- AAAAH!- What's wrong?! - That's cold.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49- Apologise to your sister. - No way! She should apologise to me!
0:17:49 > 0:17:53I told her a million times not to touch it.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56You're bad!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Arthur, this means no TV for a week.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02What?! That is so unfair!
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- You don't care what she did. - We do.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08But what you did is wrong, too.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15So I missed Bionic Bunny. I can't watch TV all week!
0:18:15 > 0:18:22- Can you believe that?- No! You hit your sister? That's terrible!
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Like you never hit anybody?- Nope. - Did you hear that?
0:18:26 > 0:18:31Arthur hit his sister. I, for one, am shocked.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34How can you be shocked about hitting?
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Why not? Binky Barnes, you always...
0:18:38 > 0:18:42You know, I can't remember the last person you hit.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45What do you mean?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48BELL RINGS The bell. Don't wanna be late!
0:18:50 > 0:18:57- So when was it, Bink?- He doesn't have to remind us of his glorious fights.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- He is afraid of no-one. - That's right.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06And he'll prove it by socking the next kid who turns that corner.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11- That's right...what?! - Go ahead, Binky. Sock him.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Maybe I don't feel like it.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16You better or you're out of the club.
0:19:16 > 0:19:22I can't be out of the club! It's MY club. I founded it!
0:19:22 > 0:19:25But you let everyone else join.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29When you see that kid, sock him!
0:19:29 > 0:19:33The next time I see Arthur, I have to hit him!
0:19:33 > 0:19:39What can I do? Hey! What if I NEVER see him?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Arthur, why didn't you apologise?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Oh, come on! She wrecked my plane!
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Why can't anybody see my side? - Because you're wrong.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55Binky, Arthur hit his sister. I haven't seen Arthur.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I say he isn't even here.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02Binky's so upset at Arthur he won't even look at him.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07When the day and night are of equal length, it's called the equinox.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11BELL RINGS
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Did you sock that kid yet? Haven't seen him!
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I am SO smart!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Psst! Hey, is Arthur in there?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Yeah. I'll just eat outside, then.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33- Binky won't even eat near Arthur! - We should bring them together.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Arthur will thank us.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Binky's out here somewhere...
0:20:41 > 0:20:43I'll get it!
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Thanks.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Binky? What are you doing?
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Avoiding Arthur so I don't hit him.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Oh. You want to hit Arthur?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00No! So I don't want to see him!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Hmm. Boys(!)
0:21:06 > 0:21:10Is Arthur in there? No.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- She broke my plane. - She's just a little girl.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27That's like saying a tornado is just a little wind!
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Hey, Arthur, over here!- Ssh!
0:21:31 > 0:21:35I thought someone called my name.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37BELL RINGS
0:21:37 > 0:21:40I made it through one whole day.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Now only...the rest of my life to go!
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I never saw that glasses kid again.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Probably never will.- Hey, Binky!
0:21:52 > 0:21:58- You dropped your pen outside school. - Here's your chance!
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Show her, Binky. Pop him one.
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- OW!- OK, you're right. He WILL hit anybody.- All right, Binky!
0:22:12 > 0:22:14You're still in the club. Binky?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Where are you going? Hey, Binky!
0:22:18 > 0:22:24Next thing I was on the ground! It hurt and was embarrassing...
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Well, maybe that's how DW felt.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Maybe. But what's that got to do with this?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Binky Barnes is huge!
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Yeah, I guess I get it.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Sorry I hit you. - I'm sorry about your plane.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49- But what kind of stupid plane doesn't fly?- A model plane.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I didn't know! I'm a child! Gimme a break!
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Arthur! Hey, I feel rotten. I want to apologise.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- I just want to thank you. - You what?
0:23:03 > 0:23:10I didn't get it, but you made me understand how bad I made DW feel.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15Well, you're welcome, but I wouldn't try to teach you a boring lesson.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- It was an accident. - Hey, it's that kid.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24- You deserve to be in our club. - There is no club. I founded it...
0:23:24 > 0:23:30and I'm de-founding it. Any club like this is dumb!
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- Anybody wanna make something of it? - ..No.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Arthur, let's go get a soda.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Oh, man! Now we've got no club. ALL GASP
0:23:42 > 0:23:48You guys wanna come with us? How about we form a new club?
0:23:48 > 0:23:53With no dumb hitting. Anybody breaks that rule, I'll clobber them!
