0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Hey!- Whoa!

0:01:09 > 0:01:15- Everyone's got a favourite pastime. Reading is mine.- Hey, your delivery.

0:01:18 > 0:01:23But sometimes your favourite things can get out of hand.

0:01:23 > 0:01:29- 'Like Buster and his snacks.'- Wow! The ultimate chocolate sundae!

0:01:34 > 0:01:40- MOANING - Wow... The ultimate chocolate sundae... Oh!

0:01:42 > 0:01:46- 'Or like the Brain and science.' - DOOR OPENS

0:01:46 > 0:01:52I can't go to bed now. I'm on the verge of discovering a new galaxy.

0:01:52 > 0:01:58Or like Binky and... Hey, do you even have a favourite thing?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01I don't know. Ow!

0:02:09 > 0:02:13It's coming, it's coming! HORN BLARES

0:02:20 > 0:02:22It's here!

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Giant bugs in school must mean...

0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Radiation leakage in the cafeteria? - No.

0:02:36 > 0:02:41It's Bug Week, Elwood City's annual festival of six-legged things

0:02:41 > 0:02:46that crawl, sting, bite and make life oh, so pleasant.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50Each of you will make a presentation

0:02:50 > 0:02:53on the bug of your choice.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Any questions? Good.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59It's getting hot in here.

0:02:59 > 0:03:05Then, when the spider, played by me, has the helpless fly

0:03:05 > 0:03:10- wrapped up in silk, it sinks its huge fangs into it and...- Yuck!

0:03:10 > 0:03:12I don't want to hear this.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Me neither. I'm playing the fly.

0:03:15 > 0:03:20Watch out for me. I'm gonna be a honey bee, and they pack a sting.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Sorry, I'm doing bees. Queen bees.

0:03:23 > 0:03:29- Oh, OK. I'll be a termite and bring down the house.- I'm doing termites.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33Those things with a gazillion legs?

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Centipede?- The other one.- Millipede?

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Yeah.- Sorry, that's my project.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44Oh, man! All the good bugs are taken.

0:03:44 > 0:03:51And here the honey bee workers feed royal jelly to the future queen bees.

0:03:51 > 0:03:58And what would royal jelly be without royal peanut butter? EVERYONE GROANS

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Just what I'd expect from a class full of drones.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Now the stink bugs

0:04:05 > 0:04:11will demonstrate... their most unusual method of defence.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Euch! Ugh! Phew!

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Did you bring clothes-pins for everybody?

0:04:21 > 0:04:25Er... Well...no.

0:04:25 > 0:04:30In an orderly fashion, please! Single file!

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Is that your Bug Week project?

0:04:37 > 0:04:42Yes. I'm showing how the praying mantis inspired a fighting style.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Want a demonstration? - No, I believe you.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- You have a bug for your report?- No.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52I wanted fleas, but Molly has 'em.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Butterflies? Nobody's picked them.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Butterflies? They're for girls.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Just trying to help.- Some help!

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Giving me a girl's bug...

0:05:09 > 0:05:14Man, look at all the neat colours!

0:05:14 > 0:05:19Butterflies come from creepy-looking worms. Cool!

0:05:33 > 0:05:36Gotcha!

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Huh?

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Wow! Ungh!

0:06:03 > 0:06:10- They prefer your lunchmeat to mine. - Because mine is pate de foie gras.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Is it Hallowe'en already?

0:06:13 > 0:06:18Big...blue...butterfly. Which way did he go?

0:06:18 > 0:06:22Binky Barnes - chasing butterflies?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Tell me!

0:06:28 > 0:06:32No, you can't get away from me!

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Binky, are you up there?

0:06:35 > 0:06:39- I found some bugs good for boys. - He's not here.

0:06:39 > 0:06:45- He's out hunting.- Hunting?- Yeah, butterflies. He's butterfly crazy.

0:06:45 > 0:06:51- He wants to collect every one he sees.- Especially a big, blue one.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54He's been chasing it for days.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02It knows I can't leave school. It's mocking me.

0:07:02 > 0:07:08Now that we know the eating habits of termites,

0:07:08 > 0:07:14- let's meet a real colony.- I don't see anything.- They're inside.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17TAP-TAP-TAP

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Can you...wrap it up, Buster?

0:07:22 > 0:07:28Any second now. Really. I think I hear 'em coming.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Oh!

0:07:30 > 0:07:36Then...whack! A great big hand came down and squashed me.

0:07:36 > 0:07:42So ended my life as a blood-sucking mosquito. ALL CHEER

0:07:42 > 0:07:46RING Not all homework is this much fun.

0:07:46 > 0:07:51Fun? Who has time for fun? My prize catch is still out there.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01- Binky, are you in there?- Close the flap, quick! Don't let 'em out.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Neat collection, huh?

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Monarchs, swallowtails, viceroys. I got 'em all.

0:08:08 > 0:08:13I've never had a real cool hobby before, and I owe it all to you.

0:08:13 > 0:08:18Binky, those butterflies can't last in here. They'll die.

0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Relax. It's only for one more day. - Good.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26- You'll set them free after your project?- No way.

0:08:26 > 0:08:32I'm gonna move 'em into a bigger tent. Well, back to the hunt.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36My collection is nothing without him. He's clever.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39He'll make a mistake. I'll be ready.

0:08:39 > 0:08:45Binky, stop! You're hunting that poor butterfly

0:08:45 > 0:08:50- like Captain Ahab hunted Moby Dick. - You don't expect me to read that?

0:08:50 > 0:08:54I'm nothing like Captain Ahab. Moby Dick was a fish.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58A whale. I mean, you're going too far.

0:08:58 > 0:09:03I'm not. I've worked hard to catch the blue butterfly. He's mine! MINE!

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Well, see ya.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10What have I created?

0:09:10 > 0:09:15- 553, 554... - He even looks like Captain Ahab.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18What are we gonna do about Binky?

0:09:18 > 0:09:23How am I ever going to prove that millipedes don't have 1,000 legs

0:09:23 > 0:09:26if you keep interrupting me? Aw!

0:09:26 > 0:09:30One, two, three...

0:09:30 > 0:09:32- What happened?- Buster got mad.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35He was tired of being a free meal.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Arthur, did you talk to Binky?

0:09:38 > 0:09:41He's too busy chasing a butterfly.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Like Captain Ahab...- And Moby Dick.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49Isn't it possible you two are overreacting?

0:09:53 > 0:09:56Thar she goes!

0:10:00 > 0:10:03PANTING

0:10:03 > 0:10:07- Blue...butterfly... Seen it?- That?

0:10:07 > 0:10:12Don't kid around! That's just a moth.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Sue Ellen, I got it!

0:10:16 > 0:10:19- I got Big Blue.- It's so pretty.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23I'll say. Me and Big Blue are going to the museum.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26The museum? Why?

0:10:26 > 0:10:32- I'm gonna offer my collection to them so everyone can enjoy it.- Wait!

0:10:36 > 0:10:42I bet they've got a real cool place for their butterflies to live.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Agh!

0:10:53 > 0:10:59- They're not moving.- Haven't you seen a real collection before?- No.

0:11:04 > 0:11:09NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Don't look at me like that.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19If I let you go, I'll fail.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21I worked really hard on this.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30When it's ready to eat the helpless fly,

0:11:30 > 0:11:33the spider moves in, fangs ready to bite...

0:11:33 > 0:11:36Oh, how cute!

0:11:38 > 0:11:44Thanks a lot(!) I was supposed to have the most frightening report.

0:11:44 > 0:11:49You're the last to go, Binky. You do have a project, don't you?

0:11:51 > 0:11:56Sure I do, but... can I do it outside?

0:11:58 > 0:12:03I wanted everyone to enjoy my butterfly collection.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05This is the best way to see it.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08ALL GASP

0:12:13 > 0:12:17I didn't think you'd let them go.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Very impressive work.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22I look forward to the written report.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26Aw, I knew I forgot something.

0:12:29 > 0:12:35Francine Frensky can do a lot of things well. She can hit

0:12:35 > 0:12:37further than anyone I know.

0:12:37 > 0:12:43- She can argue about anything better than anyone I know.- If I were wrong,

0:12:43 > 0:12:49- I'd admit I'm wrong, but I'm never wrong. If you think...- OK, OK.

0:12:49 > 0:12:54You win. A tomato is not a vegetable, it's a fruit.

0:12:54 > 0:13:00- She wants to do something I don't think she should try.- Here I go.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03I'm going to fly.

0:13:03 > 0:13:06- You gonna tell her?- YOU tell her.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09- She could hurt herself.- I guess so.

0:13:09 > 0:13:14Francine, stop it! You're gonna get hurt. Kids can't fly.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17- They can't?- No, it's impossible.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Oh.

0:13:21 > 0:13:26Don't you hate it when you have to burst someone's bubble?

0:13:30 > 0:13:35I know you're all concentrating on Friday's spring talent show,

0:13:35 > 0:13:39so I'm giving you extra homework. Remember what's important.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42ALL GROAN

0:13:42 > 0:13:44I've got new jokes.

0:13:44 > 0:13:48What's orange and sounds like a parrot? A carrot!

0:13:48 > 0:13:53- Humorous.- Francine, what are you doing for the talent show?

0:13:53 > 0:13:57I'm not telling. You'll be surprised.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01- What are you gonna do, Arthur? - I'm doing tricks with Pal.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Pal, sit! Good boy.

0:14:06 > 0:14:09Pal, shake your... Er, tail.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Good boy.- Oh, brother!

0:14:12 > 0:14:16We're not ready yet, but Pal's smart.

0:14:16 > 0:14:23- You, Brain?- I'm a human calculator. The audience shout out math problems,

0:14:23 > 0:14:27- and I'll do them in my head. - What if Ratburn asks a question?

0:14:27 > 0:14:30I never thought of that.

0:14:30 > 0:14:36A train carrying 1,873 scoops of ice cream leaves Chicago at 7am.

0:14:36 > 0:14:41The freezer's broken. How fast would it have to travel to reach New York

0:14:41 > 0:14:46before half the ice cream melts? The melting rate is 6 scoops per minute.

0:14:46 > 0:14:51Maybe I should juggle. WAILING >

0:14:51 > 0:14:55- What is that? - It's coming from that direction.

0:14:55 > 0:15:00I saw an ad in the newspaper for an exterminator

0:15:00 > 0:15:04who uses sound to get rid of termites.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09WAILING

0:15:09 > 0:15:13TERMITES SCREAM

0:15:13 > 0:15:16There's a rhythm to that noise.

0:15:16 > 0:15:21- Like an engine.- It'd have to be one gigantic engine.

0:15:28 > 0:15:34Whatever it is, it's coming from Francine's roof.

0:15:34 > 0:15:37CRASHING OF DRUMS

0:15:37 > 0:15:40FRANCINE WAILS

0:15:40 > 0:15:45Hey, no fair. This was supposed to be a surprise.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Oh, well, er... We're surprised.

0:15:48 > 0:15:53I didn't want you to hear me until the talent show. What do you think?

0:15:56 > 0:15:59You haven't heard the whole thing.

0:15:59 > 0:16:04- I have to look for errors in the encyclopaedia.- I gotta wash the dog.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07I, er...have to dry his dog.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13SLURP

0:16:13 > 0:16:15ALL SIGH

0:16:15 > 0:16:19- What do we do?- Order another shake?

0:16:19 > 0:16:25I mean about Francine. We've got to tell her how awful she sounds.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28- We do?- She's gonna get booed off.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32It's not nice to tell someone they're awful at what they do.

0:16:32 > 0:16:37- But what if they ARE awful? - You might hurt her feelings.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40You sure you don't want another?

0:16:40 > 0:16:44We've got to do something. Don't we?

0:16:44 > 0:16:47I have to tell Francine.

0:16:47 > 0:16:52I bet she'll thank me. Who am I kidding? This is Francine.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55What if I hurt her feelings?

0:16:57 > 0:17:01You don't believe in me. I'm a failure!

0:17:01 > 0:17:03SNIFFLE

0:17:03 > 0:17:07ALL: How could you have been so cruel?

0:17:07 > 0:17:11Oh, no! What have I done?

0:17:11 > 0:17:14What if I'm wrong?

0:17:14 > 0:17:21Thanks for telling me how bad it was. I'm so glad I didn't go to the show.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25BANGING DRUMS, WAILING

0:17:25 > 0:17:30- Hey, that sounds like you. - WAILING

0:17:30 > 0:17:36What a fantastic song! It's breaking all sales records around the world.

0:17:36 > 0:17:41- That could have been me! I could have been famous!- Heh-heh...

0:17:41 > 0:17:44I guess I was wrong.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48It could happen.

0:17:48 > 0:17:55You were right, Arthur. We've got to convince Francine to quit the show.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58I'm not sure. What if we're wrong?

0:17:58 > 0:18:03Maybe Francine's music could be the next big thing.

0:18:03 > 0:18:08Ask Muffy if she likes it. She always knows what's popular.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11Muffy would never criticise Francine.

0:18:11 > 0:18:16Could Muffy hear the song without knowing it's Francine?

0:18:16 > 0:18:20CRASHING DRUMS, WAILING

0:18:20 > 0:18:24HORRIBLE, TUNELESS RACKET

0:18:59 > 0:19:03RECORDING PLAYS What is that? Turn it off!

0:19:04 > 0:19:07- It's bad, right?- The worst.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10That's Francine practising.

0:19:10 > 0:19:15Francine's usually a great drummer. How come she sounds so bad?

0:19:15 > 0:19:20- Her bad singing must be affecting her normally good drumming.- Oh?

0:19:20 > 0:19:23She needn't drop out of the show.

0:19:23 > 0:19:29- We just stop her from singing. - How do we tell her? It's Francine.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32I'm her best friend. I'll tell her.

0:19:33 > 0:19:38She wouldn't believe me. She said I was jealous.

0:19:38 > 0:19:44You try telling her, Arthur. If two people say it, she'll believe it.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53If three people tell her, she has to believe it.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59Four's a good, strong number.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06How can she not believe four?

0:20:06 > 0:20:10She'll have to believe it when everyone's booing.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Poor Francine.- She's here.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17She thought about it. She knows we're right.

0:20:17 > 0:20:23One of you dropped this in my hall. I've never heard anything so awful.

0:20:23 > 0:20:29- What is it?- Oh, that? It's... What is that, exactly?

0:20:29 > 0:20:33Well, Francine, its... It's an audio cassette.

0:20:33 > 0:20:39Muffy, what is it? It sounds like an elephant crushing Ratburn's car.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Um... I... Er...

0:20:41 > 0:20:46It's you, Francine. We recorded you playing the drums and singing.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52Some friends! Why didn't you tell me I was so bad?

0:20:52 > 0:20:56- We ALL told you.- Oh.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Yeah, I guess you did.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03Your drumming is great when you're not singing.

0:21:03 > 0:21:09- Singing is just as important to me as drumming.- You're a good drummer.

0:21:09 > 0:21:15Maybe I'm not ready to do two things at once. ALL AGREE

0:21:15 > 0:21:21I should only do one. I'd better go practise. The talent show's tomorrow.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26I can see all.

0:21:26 > 0:21:31I see into the mind of Mr Ratburn.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33He's thinking about... Yes.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37He's thinking about giving a lot of homework.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43Absolutely supernatural. I don't know how she does it.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47Our next contestant is Francine Frensky.

0:21:47 > 0:21:52I feel better now Francine's going to play drums and not try to sing.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55I hope she knows she should thank us.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59- APPLAUSE - No drums!

0:21:59 > 0:22:02She got it backwards. I can't look.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05I don't want to hear this.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09RHYTHMICAL DRUMMING ON TAPE

0:22:09 > 0:22:15HESITANT SINGING # You can fly if you try

0:22:17 > 0:22:22SINGING IMPROVES # You can fly if you try... #

0:22:22 > 0:22:25She's good.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27She's REALLY good.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30She's EXCEEDINGLY good.

0:22:30 > 0:22:35I knew she was good all along. You tried to convince me I was wrong.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39# You can do almost anything

0:22:39 > 0:22:43# Even learn how to sing

0:22:43 > 0:22:45# Flap your wings

0:22:45 > 0:22:50# You can fly-y-y-y-y

0:22:50 > 0:22:53# You can fly! #

0:22:54 > 0:23:01I'd have been so embarrassed if you'd let me sing and play drums.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Ah, it was nothing. - You can sing and play drums well.

0:23:05 > 0:23:10How come when you did both at the same time it sounded...different?

0:23:10 > 0:23:15- You mean bad?- Well, um... - I guess I need more practice.

0:23:15 > 0:23:20I knew you'd be great. I bet you win, Francine.

0:23:20 > 0:23:24- And the winner is...George! - George again?

0:23:24 > 0:23:28- He always wins.- You should have won.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32I'll practise drumming and singing. I'll win.

0:23:32 > 0:23:37Maybe you should sing, play drums AND hop on a pogo stick.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40CRASHING DRUMS, WAILING

0:23:42 > 0:23:47- I guess she sounds a little better. Do you really like it, Muffy?- Hmm?
