0:00:13 > 0:00:18# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play
0:00:18 > 0:00:22# And get along with each other

0:00:54 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day - hey! What a wonderful kind of day - HEY! #
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Hey, DW!- Hey...
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Oh...
0:01:09 > 0:01:14You know, tyres aren't just good at being...tyres.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17They also make great swings.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I guess inner tubes were invented for truck tyres
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- but they make cool rafts!- You can find lots of uses with imagination.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Hey, this reed makes a cool spitball shooter!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Imagine a million years ago.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Our ancestors had to find many uses for things just to survive.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Whoever discovered that wood could be used to make fire
0:01:48 > 0:01:52was one of the greatest geniuses in history.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56PARENTS GRUNT EXCITEDLY
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Fire drill! FIRE drill!
0:02:00 > 0:02:05How many uses can YOU think of for a single object?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- I know a use for a big brother. - What?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Cannonball!
0:02:10 > 0:02:13An umbrella!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16DW!
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- Who invented the refrigerator magnet?- I don't know!
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- Who invented the doughnut? And who invented the hole?!- I don't know!
0:02:34 > 0:02:40You would if you took me to the puppet show. It's about inventors.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Get Mom to take you.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47Sorry, Arthur, it's our day for paying bills.
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- You go. Could be interesting.- Yeah. ..We spend way too much on movies!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Who invented the movie? Who invented...?
0:02:55 > 0:02:59OK, OK, I'll go. Just stop asking stupid questions!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Maybe Buster can come along.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07Sorry, Arthur, I'm entering that Idea For A Bionic Bunny contest.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10But it's all been done before!
0:03:10 > 0:03:16- How about Bionic Bunny fighting a giant mechanical guppy?- Great idea!
0:03:16 > 0:03:20That's the one I used. Glad you like it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:26See? All the good ideas have been taken. I'll never think of anything.
0:03:27 > 0:03:32- I can't go. I must look after Nemo. He's afraid of water.- Since when?
0:03:32 > 0:03:38Since I read him 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, about Captain Nemo.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43But now he thinks all water has giant squids in it.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45MIAOW!
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Cat on my head, cat on my head, cat on my head! Ow, ow, ow!
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Ow, ow, ow!- Poor Nemo.
0:03:52 > 0:03:58Sorry, but I could never enjoy myself unless my cat is ecstatically happy.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- Have you tried...? - I've tried everything.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05If there was a solution, I'd know.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Muffy! Just the person I wanted to see.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Puppet show is this afternoon and...
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Can't, Arthur. My new anteater doll has fallen down the drain.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Pull my nose!
0:04:19 > 0:04:24He has a vocabulary of 5,000 words and all I've heard are those three!
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Maybe you...- I've tried everything.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31And the fire department won't rescue dolls.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Ohh! All I can do is hope for a miracle.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Sorry. My remote-control airplane is missing a wheel...
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- There's nothing you can do to fix it so you're going to sit and mope?- No.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51I'm going to take it apart, send it back to the company, then mope!
0:04:52 > 0:04:59Well, I guess it's just gonna be me and DW. Hey! What IS that thing?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Maybe it's a yo-yo for leprechauns.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10What fun! Look! I'm walking the bug.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13This sure beats re-soling shoes!
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Or part of a robot.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Oh, no! Bot's brain is missing!
0:05:28 > 0:05:34- Or maybe it's...the pet of a BIGGER metal thingy!- Let me see!
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Don't touch! It's mine! - I wanna see it!
0:05:40 > 0:05:45Now neither of us can play with it! Better get ready.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48The show starts in half an hour.
0:05:54 > 0:06:00- That's the last time I let Dad help me build anything!- Hmm...
0:06:02 > 0:06:06What IS that thing? Looks like a little wheel.
0:06:06 > 0:06:13Maybe it came from someone else's model airplane! I wonder...
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Woo-ee!- Hey, Brain.
0:06:17 > 0:06:24- Can you think of a new villain for Bionic Bunny to fight?- Let's see...
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Squids have been done, and turtles. How about a DUCK?!
0:06:28 > 0:06:32No. Episode 2,436 - The Mean Mallard Master.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35No, Buster, DUCK!
0:06:40 > 0:06:45My third wheel! How am I going to land this thing? I need that wheel!
0:06:49 > 0:06:54SHOWER RUNS It's all right, Nemo!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00MIAOW!
0:07:00 > 0:07:04'Phenomenal control by Wayne Lutt. There's a surfer
0:07:04 > 0:07:07'who can handle these nine-footers!'
0:07:07 > 0:07:09MIAOW!
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Poor little guy.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18If only there was something I could do.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21What is it? You look hypnotised.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24What IS that thing?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27You are not afraid of water!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Water is your friend!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33You LOVE water!
0:07:35 > 0:07:39It works! It's a professional cat hypnotiser.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42When I clap my hands, I want you to...
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Come back with my cat hypnotiser! I may need it!
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Francine, have you seen the wheel of a remote-control model biplane?
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- No. Have you seen a cat hypnotiser? - Uh...no.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Pull my nose!If only I could, Arnie. If only I could.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Ohh... Ow!
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Birds are so rude! What IS that thing?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Looks like a tiny fishing reel or something.
0:08:22 > 0:08:28Hold on, Arnie! I'm sending down a rope!Pull my nose!
0:08:28 > 0:08:33What was that slip knot Daddy taught me on the boat?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Hee, hee, hee! That tickles.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43I like you. Want to sing the alphabet?
0:08:43 > 0:08:47# A, B, C, D, E, F...
0:08:47 > 0:08:50# G! #You're safe, Arnie!
0:08:50 > 0:08:57Boy, was I lucky to find that... doll rescue rope when I needed it!
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Oh, no, my doll rope!
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Hmm...Bionic Bunny Versus The Giant Dead Leaf.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11That hasn't been done before...
0:09:11 > 0:09:14probably because it's really dumb!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Weird! What is THAT thing?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22It's a cat hypnotiser. It's mine! < No, it isn't.
0:09:22 > 0:09:28It's a doll rope and it belongs to me!I like to...chat.Ssh!
0:09:28 > 0:09:32It's a biplane wheel! I need it to land my plane.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Without it, the plane will crash!
0:09:35 > 0:09:40How on earth do you expect to land your plane with my cat hypnotiser?
0:09:40 > 0:09:46If I land the plane on the wheel at the right angle, it'll snap in place.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50See? There's no such thing as a cat hypnotiser.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Why not? There are pet psychiatrists. Why not pet hypnotisers?
0:09:55 > 0:10:01You're both crazy. It's a doll rope. I just saved my doll with it!
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Just a coincidence. It's obviously a biplane wheel. Give it to me.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10It's my cat hypnotiser! No, MY doll rope!
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Actually, it's a bobbin, and it's mine.- Huh?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19What about your puppet show, Mr Ratburn?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Well, how could I start without my bobbin?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26But...what's a bobbin?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Come to the show and find out. It'll start soon.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33PLANE BUZZES
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Oh, no! Your plane!
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Sometimes in life, things end in tragedy.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44This...is one of those times.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48(We've got to get to the show!)
0:10:48 > 0:10:55Elias Howe, what are you up to? It's days since you've been seen!
0:10:55 > 0:11:00That's because I've been hard at work inventing the sewing machine.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06A drive wheel, a feed dog and a bobbin
0:11:06 > 0:11:09are parts of this wonderful invention.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14Oh, Elias, this machine is beyond compare!
0:11:14 > 0:11:18You betcha! Look how fast it makes underwear!
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Hey, I thought you guys were busy with all your unsolvable problems.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30They weren't unsolvable. We just stopped trying.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35Maybe there's something to be learned from all this.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Nah!
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Francine, did the bobbin really work as a cat hypnotiser?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I don't know...
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Buster, the bobbin didn't help you.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I wouldn't be so sure about that.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57What IS that thing?
0:11:57 > 0:12:02Whatever it is, it's hypnotising cats all over the city!
0:12:05 > 0:12:08It's a bobbin, Bionic Bunny!
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Pull its nose before the cats take over the city!
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- Elias Howe! - Now I can conquer the world! Ha-ha!
0:12:22 > 0:12:27'Tune in next week for part two of Bionic Bunny Versus Elias Howe,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30'written by Buster Baxter.'
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Have you ever wished that, just for a minute, you could be someone else?
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Mommy! I was watching TV and Arthur came in...
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Arthur!
0:12:43 > 0:12:46'Like when you're in trouble.'
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Arthur, I... Oh! Hi, Thora.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Arthur!
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Phew!
0:12:54 > 0:12:58'Or when you just need to be grown up.'
0:13:02 > 0:13:04REPEATS SAME FEW NOTES
0:13:04 > 0:13:09'Or when you have to do something that's too hard.'
0:13:09 > 0:13:11PLAYS ELABORATE PIECE
0:13:11 > 0:13:16But one guy is so cool that he must never want to be different.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19He's my best friend, Buster Baxter.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Yo, Artie, man!
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Huh?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33(Pick Buster!)
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Pick Buster! Yeah, Francine!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40It's MY pick, and I pick...Buster.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41Y-Y-Yes!
0:13:43 > 0:13:47OK, then WE pick Arthur.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Yahoo! Yeah, team!
0:14:09 > 0:14:13EVERYONE CHEERS
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Wow, you guys really beat us!
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Francine scored every goal.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22In soccer, Francine's the best.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25PLAYS A COMPLEX IMPROVISATION
0:14:26 > 0:14:31SAX JOINS IN, THEN JAUNTY ENDING
0:14:31 > 0:14:36- That was great!- Nah. Sue Ellen and Binky are the ones who play great.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- Yeah, but what you did was so funny! - IMITATES TUBA
0:14:44 > 0:14:50My food-chain project shows a shark eating everything in its path.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Cool shark, Buster!
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Nah, it's just a dumb drawing.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Buster, are you all right?
0:15:04 > 0:15:09- You're hardly eating.- Oh? Uh...I didn't notice.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13Button, I'm a mother AND a newspaper woman.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Tell me what's wrong cos I'll find out.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21- It's just...I'm not the best at anything.- Of course you are, Shoog.
0:15:21 > 0:15:27- What am I the best at?- You're the best at being my cute, cuddly boy!
0:15:27 > 0:15:31That's not exactly the answer I was hoping for, Mom.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Buster did this cool picture of a shark
0:15:35 > 0:15:40and in music, he did this perfect... # Doo doo-doo doo doo, doo doo! #
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- It was hilarious! - Bumpster sounds like fun.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I bet he'd make a great brother.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51Can we trade? Bumpster can live here and HE can move out.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- DW! - I just want everyone to be happy.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Am I the only one with family values?
0:16:00 > 0:16:05I need a thing that, when everyone thinks of Buster,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09they think - yeah, Buster's the best at...say, soccer!
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Yeah, why not soccer?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16DW's right. Buster IS cooler than me.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Everyone wants him on their team. Everybody loves Buster.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27I do 500 on each foot every morning. 107, 108...
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Me, too. One...
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- Ow!- I've got to work on my defensive game.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Oh, yeah, defensive game. Mm-hmm...
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Why is Buster such fun to be with? What's he got that I haven't got?
0:16:43 > 0:16:49Let's approach this mathematically. If we subtract Arthur from Buster,
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- what's left is the difference. - That's what I want to know!
0:16:54 > 0:16:58The difference is X. Let's call it element X.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- What's element X?- The difference.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Yeah... Oh.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07But what IS it and how do I get it?
0:17:07 > 0:17:12Discovering that could take years, and millions of dollars in research.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17Or...you could just try reading his favourite joke books.
0:17:17 > 0:17:23- Hope your team's ready to lose!- Yeah! Hope your team's ready to lose!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- I got it!- I- got it!
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- I'll get it!- I got it!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- This one's mine!- This one's mine!
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Buster! You scored on our own team!
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Wow! Francine's team lost big time!
0:17:59 > 0:18:03What were you doing? Do you feel OK?
0:18:05 > 0:18:10'Guess I'm not gonna be the soccer guy.'
0:18:10 > 0:18:15My blouse is an original Rudolfo Casper off the rack.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19And my Mona Nini skirt completes the ensemble.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24Hey, this school doesn't have a fashion guy! That's it!
0:18:26 > 0:18:30My shirt is an original...um, T. And my blue jeans
0:18:30 > 0:18:35- with the green grass stain complete the ensemble.- So what?!
0:18:35 > 0:18:39Oh, never mind. To get the kind of attention Muffy gets,
0:18:39 > 0:18:44I have to wear GIRLS' clothes. I don't want THAT much attention.
0:18:44 > 0:18:51Einstein's theory of relativity is proof for my time-travel theorem.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55The quantum variables suggest evidence of black holes.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Right...Buster?- YAGH!
0:19:00 > 0:19:02GROWLING
0:19:09 > 0:19:12ARGH!
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Buster was weird today. I bet Arthur knows why.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- I haven't seen Arthur. - He'll be in the logical place.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Where?!
0:19:23 > 0:19:26He's behind a book. He always is.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Hey, guys!
0:19:39 > 0:19:43What's wrong with Buster? He's not himself.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46My definition of a well-balanced meal...
0:19:46 > 0:19:49is a carrot in each hand!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I think we've found Buster.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58We better go talk to the Brain.
0:19:58 > 0:20:04This "being the best at everything" idea was wrong. To improve myself,
0:20:04 > 0:20:09I should try to be like the person I most admire, like...Arthur
0:20:09 > 0:20:12or Abraham Lincoln. Yeah!
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Oh, it'll take me years to grow a beard...but I can be like Arthur!
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Hey, thanks! It was fun talking! - Argh!
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Arthur's wrong. That guy's no fun at all.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34This is very hard to believe, girls.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Did you hear about the chameleon who walked down the street
0:20:42 > 0:20:44and turned into a store? Get it?!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I was in the playground with DW.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Her imaginary friend is always getting in the way.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03I've never seen anything like it! I can't tell which is who any more!
0:21:03 > 0:21:07They even LOOK like each other. Muffy, Buster has EARS!
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- Oh, yeah. - This is about element X.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15I know the problem - all boys are weird!
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Hey! I can explain what I mean!
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Have you heard the joke about the talking tennis shoes?
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Yeah. That Pal is one smart dog.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Yeah, I know.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Well, I'd better get going. See ya.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Bye.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Arthur's...boring. He keeps telling me old jokes I've heard before.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Buster's not funny any more and he keeps talking about DW.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Who wants to listen to someone complain about DW?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Arthur's so depressed,
0:21:57 > 0:22:02like he's lost his best friend. He IS his best friend.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07- I discovered something last night. - What?! What?!
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- This isn't in any books. - Ohh.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Hi. Bye.- Bye.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19They hardly even speak to each other!
0:22:19 > 0:22:22They've been ruined by your element X!
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Scientists are not to blame for this.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Well, somebody's got to do something!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Buster! Arthur! Want to play soccer?
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Gee, I have some library books to return.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43And I'm pretty hungry.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I can't STAND this any more! Cut it out right now!
0:22:47 > 0:22:51You guys have successfully transferred element X.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55No, no, no! Forget element X!
0:22:55 > 0:23:01We like Arthur as Arthur AND we like Buster as Buster, and so do you!
0:23:04 > 0:23:08You were perfect the way you were. Just be yourselves!
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Give me that! ..Buster, lose the sweater!
0:23:11 > 0:23:16And no more talking about DW. She's ARTHUR'S sister!
0:23:16 > 0:23:21- I was just trying to be like a great person.- Me too.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26Don't...say...anything! It's over. Come and play soccer, and have fun.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31I think it worked. Of course!
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Francine can yell at rain and make it stop.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42Oh, here's a good one. "What runs around the field but never moves?"
0:23:42 > 0:23:47- The fence! - Oh, you know what DW did yesterday?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49What?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Ahh, that's more like it.
