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 If you could learn to work and play
0:00:18 > 0:00:20# And get along with each other
0:00:20 > 0:00:27# Listen to your heart, listen to the beat, listen to the rhythm, the rhythm of the street
0:00:27 > 0:00:34# Open up your eyes, open up your ears, get together and make things better by working together
0:00:34 > 0:00:38# It's a simple message and it comes from the heart
0:00:38 > 0:00:43# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- # And I say...- Hey!- Hey!

0:00:51 > 0:00:53# And get along with each other

0:00:56 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day! #
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hey, DW!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hey!
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Ssh! We're hunting the dangerous snig.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24It has big horns and it makes a terrifying sound like this.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Aroo!
0:01:26 > 0:01:31It's hard to find because it blends in with the trees.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Aroo! Aroo!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36I hear it, I hear it! This way!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Aroo! Aroo!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Aroo! Aroo!
0:01:42 > 0:01:47- Oh!- Aroo!- DW, you're not camouflaged at all.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50It's supposed to be hard to see you.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56And the "aroo" has to be much scarier. Like this. Arroooo!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58OK, OK!
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Why do I have to be the snig?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Why can't one of them be the snig for a change?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09There! That should do it.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Once again, we're hunting the dangerous snig.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- It has big horns and... - They know that, Buster.- Aroo!
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- I hear it!- Let's go! - Roar-r-r-r!
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- Oh, no!- DW! You're wearing...poison ivy!
0:02:31 > 0:02:37Poison ivy? I thought we were playing "dangerous snig"!
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Arthur, you can't keep changing games. Wait up!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51It itches, Mommy, it itches!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54This calamine lotion will help.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Look at me! Everyone's gonna run away from me!
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- No, they won't, DW. - You and Buster did.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07It'll go away. You mustn't scratch.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Arthur will help distract you. - I will?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Do you have to wear my hockey mask?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19If people can't see me, they won't run away.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27- Hi, Arthur! Hi, DW. - I'm not DW. I'm...Otis!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Why do you have a hockey mask on... Otis?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I don't want to get hit in the face with a puck!
0:03:35 > 0:03:40She's got poison ivy and she thinks people will run away from her.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I'm meant to make her feel better.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48Remember back in the fall when I had that really bad cough?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53- What cough?- You know, the cough that started everything.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58COUGHS
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Check out these old joke books I found in the basement.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07- What did the banana say to the hippo?- What?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Nothing. Bananas don't talk!
0:04:12 > 0:04:17- COUGHS AND CHOKES - Buster, are you OK?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I'm having...trouble...breathing!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I didn't know what was wrong.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30It felt like I was trying to breathe through a straw.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32So? I can breathe through a straw!
0:04:32 > 0:04:36A straw that's clogged. Allow me to demonstrate.
0:04:41 > 0:04:48Imagine how hard it is to breathe through a straw full of milk shake!
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I can't. I don't have any milk shake left!
0:04:51 > 0:04:56I remember that day. Your mom took you to the doctor's right away.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59COUGHING
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- This is all my fault.- How?
0:05:06 > 0:05:11I showed him those dirty books. That's what made him sick.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17The dust made it hard for you to breathe because you have asthma.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23Does this mean I can't read books any more? Or tell jokes or laugh?
0:05:23 > 0:05:28If you take your medicine, you can do all the things you like.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32'It didn't seem like such a big deal to me.'
0:05:32 > 0:05:38If he gets dust up his nose he can't breathe. It could happen any time.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Is asthma contagious? Here he is!
0:05:42 > 0:05:47- Hi, guys.- Hi, Buster. Here, let me take those for you.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49There you go. All clean now!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Thanks.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Has anyone seen my penicillin?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I mean pencil and pen!
0:05:59 > 0:06:05So, Buster, if your asthma goes off, do you get to leave class?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Maybe. Just to get my medicine.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Just to get your medicine? I bet that could take a long time.
0:06:13 > 0:06:19I'll see you in the cafeteria. I have to go to the nurse's office.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- Why is he going there?- Maybe he'll be moved to a school for sick kids.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29He's faking it to go home early!
0:06:29 > 0:06:34See? I knew he was faking it. He's just playing the kazoo.
0:06:34 > 0:06:40It's his inhaler. He's taking medicine to help him breathe.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- What are you guys doing here? - You found my glasses!
0:06:45 > 0:06:50We were just looking for them. Now we can all go to lunch.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Watch out, Buster!
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Here you go. It's safe now.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09I can't breathe! Tell the nurse. I think I have plasma!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Don't you mean asthma, Binky?
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Stupid word! Too many consonants all smushed together!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Why did you do that? You had me out. - It was an accident.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32No, it wasn't. You dropped the ball on purpose.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35What's wrong, Francine? Are you OK?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Stay away! Stay away!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Oh! Got ya!
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Guess what? I'm cured!
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Really? Are you sure?- Sure I'm sure. Could I do this if I had asthma?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Oh, math!
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- That's not an old book. - It must have some dust in it.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- You don't have to use that kazoo? - Nope.
0:08:11 > 0:08:17I'm glad that's over. Now I don't have to worry about catching asthma!
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- What is it, Buster? - It's Boston cream pie today.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25If we don't hurry, it'll all be gone.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Yeah...pie. Let's get that pie!
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Over here, Arthur! I'm open!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Hooray!
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- COUGHS - That's one...to nothing.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Are you OK, Buster?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Maybe I should go get the nurse.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01I'm fine. I just need a glass of water. That's all.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Ah! That's much better.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12Take your medicine. Why did you skip your appointment?
0:09:12 > 0:09:18I didn't want my friends to know about it. They're treating me weird.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Do you think they don't understand?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Maybe. Maybe that's it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33And that's an example of static electricity. Thank you.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36My science report is about asthma,
0:09:36 > 0:09:42but first I need you to imagine that you're very, very small.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48You're not imagining it. I really want you to imagine it.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Very good.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Now I want you all up my nose on the double!
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Watch your step. No flash photography, please!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I've never been in anyone's lungs.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24< Help! I'm stuck in some pie!
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Oh, no! George went down the wrong way. He's in my stomach!
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Yuck! Custard pie!
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Stick with the group, George. You could get lost in here!
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Is this where the asthma is? Is it a giant bug that will attack us?
0:10:45 > 0:10:50No, asthma is just a word for what happens to my lungs
0:10:50 > 0:10:53when I breathe in dust or mould.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57See? The walls are getting smaller!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00This is when I start to cough!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Hold on!
0:11:14 > 0:11:18He sure is a good storyteller. That felt so real!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Eugh!
0:11:21 > 0:11:24And asthma is not contagious.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Any questions?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Are you trying to tell us something?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I'm still the same old Buster. I just have asthma.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Like I have big ears.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Same old Buster... Big ears. I'm gonna ace this test!
0:11:44 > 0:11:49Once they understood it, it wasn't such a big deal any more.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53If someone's afraid of my poison ivy, I should explain it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Hey, you're not Otis. You're DW!
0:11:59 > 0:12:05- Sorry I had to fool you.- Look, Tommy! DW's got the chickenpoxes!
0:12:05 > 0:12:09It's just poison ivy. No big deal.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- Don't come any closer. We'll catch it!- No, you won't.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I'll tell you all about it.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- No!- Come back here and let me make you smarter!
0:12:20 > 0:12:25I got it from a plant and it'll be gone in a couple of days.
0:12:25 > 0:12:30The white stuff's called calamine lotion. Wait up! There's more!
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Got ya! Didn't I?
0:12:43 > 0:12:48I love practical jokes. You never know when one will sneak up on you.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Or who might be behind it.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07See what I mean?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Spaghetti!
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Agh! Worms! Yuck!
0:13:28 > 0:13:33They aren't real, Brain. They're jelly worms.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Oops! I've forgotten my science book!
0:13:42 > 0:13:47That's funny. Something's stuck to it.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Agh! Get it off! Get it off! No!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Why? It's just a toy.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56What's this?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Hey!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Who are you?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16So someone's scaring you guys with a few practical jokes. So what?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19So what? It's working, that's what!
0:14:19 > 0:14:23The mystery joker told us to meet him here.
0:14:23 > 0:14:29- What makes you think it's a him? Maybe it's an it.- Francine!
0:14:29 > 0:14:34Buster, calm down! You're acting like you just saw a...monster!
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Ha-ha-ha! Wow! You guys should have seen the looks on your faces!
0:14:43 > 0:14:48- What's this all about? - My party, silly!
0:14:48 > 0:14:53- What party?- The scary costume party for the Scare Your Pants Off book.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57House Of The Jackal Lantern? Cool!
0:14:57 > 0:15:00The author is gonna read it to us.
0:15:00 > 0:15:06She was Daddy's favourite teacher, Ms McWord, and he likes her books.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10After what you did to me on April Fools' Day,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14you guys are going to be my extra-special guests.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Aagh!
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Ssh!- But-but-but...
0:15:23 > 0:15:26She sounds like a motor boat!
0:15:31 > 0:15:36Extra-special guests, huh? Cool! So where is this party?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Castle Manor. Daddy wants to make it into a car museum.
0:15:40 > 0:15:46Castle Manor? Hasn't that place been empty for over 50 years?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Yeah. Isn't it supposed to be, um...you know...
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Haunted? That's why it's perfect for a scary party.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59You don't have to come if you're so afraid.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Really? I mean, we're not afraid. Right, guys?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- Come on!- Who are you talking to? - We're guys!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Oh, yeah? We'll see about that!
0:16:15 > 0:16:20The older I get, the more I think there's nothing scarier than girls.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29If the girls can scare us at school, how do we make it through the party?
0:16:29 > 0:16:34We won't. Unless we beat them to the scare.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- How?- Easy. We know those books better than anyone.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41We can think of something scarier.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Yeah. Like in The Thing At The Head Of The Class.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Or It Came From Under The Soap Dish.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52How about something really scary?
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Like Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09BOTH: No candy!
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Aaagh!
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Nah. The War Of The Worlds
0:17:16 > 0:17:19by HG Wells is scarier.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Greetings...friends.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Friends? Darned pleased to meet you!
0:17:41 > 0:17:46It's perfect. All we need is a real UFO, two real aliens and...
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Yeah. On second thought... - What about a headless horse guy
0:17:52 > 0:17:57- like in The Legend Of Creepy Hollow? - Sleepy Hollow!
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Whatever.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03It's the headless horse guy! Run!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11SCREAMING
0:18:13 > 0:18:19- Where have you learned to be a horse guy?- Me? I'm headless!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I'm not supposed to see!
0:18:22 > 0:18:26No, no, no. This is what we do.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29WHISPERING
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Man, that is good!
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Yeah. Maybe this party won't be so bad after all!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45OK, turn off the lights!
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- How do you do that?- Balloons painted with glow-in-the-dark colours.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Just the ghost ring in the book.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Are we gonna scare their pants off!
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- Hey, don't do that.- I didn't.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17I'd better tell Daddy that the lights in here need fixing.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23GROWLS
0:19:27 > 0:19:31We're gonna scare their pants off!
0:19:31 > 0:19:36Man, I'm gonna be part of the best practical joke in history!
0:19:47 > 0:19:50When are we gonna scare them?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Later. After Ms McWord's reading.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Everyone, please take your seats!
0:20:01 > 0:20:06And may I introduce our ghost of a host, Ms McWord?
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Thanks for coming. It'll be fun!
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Muffy, I think so, too.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19It's too crowded. We can't set up the scare.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I found the perfect spot - the upstairs library. Go on up!
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Yeah!- Yeah!- Wait!
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- Where's Binky? - We thought he was with you.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36Binky, where have you been? The guys are upstairs in the library.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40You can get a drink later. Get going!
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Arthur! You're going to miss the story.
0:20:47 > 0:20:54- I was looking for you.- What for? - I heard a weird noise upstairs.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59- You did? Where?- In the library. Come on, I'll show you!
0:20:59 > 0:21:04He's gonna walk right into our prank. It's too perfect!
0:21:04 > 0:21:09"Then Tony and Al knew the only way to prove their bravery
0:21:09 > 0:21:14"was to spend the night in the House Of The Jackal Lantern..."
0:21:14 > 0:21:17I'm sure it was in here.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- Muffy, what are you waiting for? - I can't find it.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Like I said, I'm sure it was IN HERE!
0:21:34 > 0:21:38ARTHUR LAUGHS, GIRLS SCREAM
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- Pretty cool prank, huh? - That was mean!
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Yeah, and you stole our prank!
0:21:45 > 0:21:51What? No, I didn't. Guys, did you steal their prank?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Binky! Brain! Buster!
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Here we are! We have to get them to go in the play room.
0:22:01 > 0:22:07- The library was locked. We set up in the play room.- What do you mean?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- It worked perfectly. - We didn't do it.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16There's a bunch of cool balloons in there and a neat old tape recorder.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Did you put them in there...?
0:22:19 > 0:22:23OK, Binky! What's going on?
0:22:23 > 0:22:28Sorry. I walked into the refrigerator and broke my pumpkin.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Can I be Cyclops instead?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Binky, if you just got here,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36then who is...?
