# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat

0:00:220:00:26

# Listen to the rhythm of the street

0:00:260:00:29

# Get together and make things better By working together

0:00:290:00:34

# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart

0:00:340:00:38

# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

0:00:380:00:43

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other

0:00:480:00:54

# What a wonderful kind of day - hey! What a wonderful kind of day - HEY! #

0:00:540:00:59

-Hey, DW!

-Hey...

0:00:590:01:03

Oh...

0:01:030:01:05

You know, tyres aren't just good at being...tyres.

0:01:090:01:14

They also make great swings.

0:01:140:01:17

I guess inner tubes were invented for truck tyres

0:01:170:01:21

-but they make cool rafts!

-You can find lots of uses with imagination.

0:01:210:01:26

Hey, this reed makes a cool spitball shooter!

0:01:260:01:30

Imagine a million years ago.

0:01:340:01:37

Our ancestors had to find many uses for things just to survive.

0:01:370:01:41

Whoever discovered that wood could be used to make fire

0:01:440:01:48

was one of the greatest geniuses in history.

0:01:480:01:52

PARENTS GRUNT EXCITEDLY

0:01:520:01:56

Fire drill! FIRE drill!

0:01:570:02:00

How many uses can YOU think of for a single object?

0:02:000:02:05

-I know a use for a big brother.

-What?

0:02:050:02:08

Cannonball!

0:02:080:02:10

An umbrella!

0:02:100:02:13

DW!

0:02:140:02:16

-Who invented the refrigerator magnet?

-I don't know!

0:02:240:02:29

-Who invented the doughnut? And who invented the hole?!

-I don't know!

0:02:290:02:34

You would if you took me to the puppet show. It's about inventors.

0:02:340:02:40

Get Mom to take you.

0:02:400:02:43

Sorry, Arthur, it's our day for paying bills.

0:02:430:02:47

-You go. Could be interesting.

-Yeah. ..We spend way too much on movies!

0:02:470:02:52

Who invented the movie? Who invented...?

0:02:520:02:55

OK, OK, I'll go. Just stop asking stupid questions!

0:02:550:02:59

Maybe Buster can come along.

0:02:590:03:02

Sorry, Arthur, I'm entering that Idea For A Bionic Bunny contest.

0:03:020:03:07

But it's all been done before!

0:03:070:03:10

-How about Bionic Bunny fighting a giant mechanical guppy?

-Great idea!

0:03:100:03:16

That's the one I used. Glad you like it.

0:03:160:03:20

See? All the good ideas have been taken. I'll never think of anything.

0:03:200:03:26

-I can't go. I must look after Nemo. He's afraid of water.

-Since when?

0:03:270:03:32

Since I read him 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, about Captain Nemo.

0:03:320:03:38

But now he thinks all water has giant squids in it.

0:03:380:03:43

MIAOW!

0:03:430:03:45

Cat on my head, cat on my head, cat on my head! Ow, ow, ow!

0:03:450:03:50

-Ow, ow, ow!

-Poor Nemo.

0:03:500:03:52

Sorry, but I could never enjoy myself unless my cat is ecstatically happy.

0:03:520:03:58

-Have you tried...?

-I've tried everything.

0:03:580:04:02

If there was a solution, I'd know.

0:04:020:04:05

Muffy! Just the person I wanted to see.

0:04:060:04:09

Puppet show is this afternoon and...

0:04:090:04:12

Can't, Arthur. My new anteater doll has fallen down the drain.

0:04:120:04:17

Pull my nose!

0:04:170:04:19

He has a vocabulary of 5,000 words and all I've heard are those three!

0:04:190:04:24

-Maybe you...

-I've tried everything.

0:04:240:04:27

And the fire department won't rescue dolls.

0:04:270:04:31

Ohh! All I can do is hope for a miracle.

0:04:310:04:34

Sorry. My remote-control airplane is missing a wheel...

0:04:360:04:40

-There's nothing you can do to fix it so you're going to sit and mope?

-No.

0:04:400:04:46

I'm going to take it apart, send it back to the company, then mope!

0:04:460:04:51

Well, I guess it's just gonna be me and DW. Hey! What IS that thing?

0:04:520:04:59

Maybe it's a yo-yo for leprechauns.

0:05:010:05:03

What fun! Look! I'm walking the bug.

0:05:070:05:10

This sure beats re-soling shoes!

0:05:100:05:13

Or part of a robot.

0:05:140:05:17

Oh, no! Bot's brain is missing!

0:05:240:05:28

-Or maybe it's...the pet of a BIGGER metal thingy!

-Let me see!

0:05:280:05:34

-Don't touch! It's mine!

-I wanna see it!

0:05:340:05:37

Now neither of us can play with it! Better get ready.

0:05:400:05:45

The show starts in half an hour.

0:05:450:05:48

-That's the last time I let Dad help me build anything!

-Hmm...

0:05:540:06:00

What IS that thing? Looks like a little wheel.

0:06:020:06:06

Maybe it came from someone else's model airplane! I wonder...

0:06:060:06:13

-Woo-ee!

-Hey, Brain.

0:06:140:06:17

-Can you think of a new villain for Bionic Bunny to fight?

-Let's see...

0:06:170:06:24

Squids have been done, and turtles. How about a DUCK?!

0:06:240:06:28

No. Episode 2,436 - The Mean Mallard Master.

0:06:280:06:32

No, Buster, DUCK!

0:06:320:06:35

My third wheel! How am I going to land this thing? I need that wheel!

0:06:400:06:45

SHOWER RUNS It's all right, Nemo!

0:06:490:06:54

MIAOW!

0:06:570:07:00

'Phenomenal control by Wayne Lutt. There's a surfer

0:07:000:07:04

'who can handle these nine-footers!'

0:07:040:07:07

MIAOW!

0:07:070:07:09

Poor little guy.

0:07:120:07:14

If only there was something I could do.

0:07:140:07:18

What is it? You look hypnotised.

0:07:180:07:21

What IS that thing?

0:07:210:07:24

You are not afraid of water!

0:07:250:07:27

Water is your friend!

0:07:270:07:30

You LOVE water!

0:07:300:07:33

It works! It's a professional cat hypnotiser.

0:07:350:07:39

When I clap my hands, I want you to...

0:07:390:07:42

Come back with my cat hypnotiser! I may need it!

0:07:440:07:48

Francine, have you seen the wheel of a remote-control model biplane?

0:07:520:07:57

- No. Have you seen a cat hypnotiser? - Uh...no.

0:07:570:08:02

Pull my nose!

If only I could, Arnie. If only I could.

0:08:050:08:10

Ohh... Ow!

0:08:100:08:14

Birds are so rude! What IS that thing?

0:08:140:08:18

Looks like a tiny fishing reel or something.

0:08:180:08:22

Hold on, Arnie! I'm sending down a rope!

Pull my nose!

0:08:220:08:28

What was that slip knot Daddy taught me on the boat?

0:08:280:08:33

Hee, hee, hee! That tickles.

0:08:360:08:39

I like you. Want to sing the alphabet?

0:08:390:08:43

# A, B, C, D, E, F...

0:08:430:08:47

# G! #

You're safe, Arnie!

0:08:470:08:50

Boy, was I lucky to find that... doll rescue rope when I needed it!

0:08:500:08:57

Oh, no, my doll rope!

0:08:570:08:59

Hmm...Bionic Bunny Versus The Giant Dead Leaf.

0:09:040:09:08

That hasn't been done before...

0:09:080:09:11

probably because it's really dumb!

0:09:110:09:14

Weird! What is THAT thing?

0:09:150:09:18

It's a cat hypnotiser. It's mine! < No, it isn't.

0:09:180:09:22

It's a doll rope and it belongs to me!

I like to...chat.

Ssh!

0:09:220:09:28

It's a biplane wheel! I need it to land my plane.

0:09:280:09:32

Without it, the plane will crash!

0:09:320:09:35

How on earth do you expect to land your plane with my cat hypnotiser?

0:09:350:09:40

If I land the plane on the wheel at the right angle, it'll snap in place.

0:09:400:09:46

See? There's no such thing as a cat hypnotiser.

0:09:460:09:50

Why not? There are pet psychiatrists. Why not pet hypnotisers?

0:09:500:09:55

You're both crazy. It's a doll rope. I just saved my doll with it!

0:09:550:10:01

Just a coincidence. It's obviously a biplane wheel. Give it to me.

0:10:010:10:06

It's my cat hypnotiser! No, MY doll rope!

0:10:060:10:10

-Actually, it's a bobbin, and it's mine.

-Huh?

0:10:100:10:14

What about your puppet show, Mr Ratburn?

0:10:160:10:19

Well, how could I start without my bobbin?

0:10:190:10:23

But...what's a bobbin?

0:10:230:10:26

Come to the show and find out. It'll start soon.

0:10:260:10:30

PLANE BUZZES

0:10:300:10:33

Oh, no! Your plane!

0:10:340:10:37

Sometimes in life, things end in tragedy.

0:10:370:10:41

This...is one of those times.

0:10:410:10:44

(We've got to get to the show!)

0:10:460:10:48

Elias Howe, what are you up to? It's days since you've been seen!

0:10:480:10:55

That's because I've been hard at work inventing the sewing machine.

0:10:550:11:00

A drive wheel, a feed dog and a bobbin

0:11:020:11:06

are parts of this wonderful invention.

0:11:060:11:09

Oh, Elias, this machine is beyond compare!

0:11:090:11:14

You betcha! Look how fast it makes underwear!

0:11:140:11:18

Hey, I thought you guys were busy with all your unsolvable problems.

0:11:210:11:26

They weren't unsolvable. We just stopped trying.

0:11:260:11:30

Maybe there's something to be learned from all this.

0:11:300:11:35

Nah!

0:11:350:11:37

Francine, did the bobbin really work as a cat hypnotiser?

0:11:370:11:41

I don't know...

0:11:410:11:44

Buster, the bobbin didn't help you.

0:11:470:11:51

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

0:11:510:11:54

What IS that thing?

0:11:540:11:57

Whatever it is, it's hypnotising cats all over the city!

0:11:570:12:02

It's a bobbin, Bionic Bunny!

0:12:050:12:08

Pull its nose before the cats take over the city!

0:12:080:12:11

-Elias Howe!

-Now I can conquer the world! Ha-ha!

0:12:170:12:22

'Tune in next week for part two of Bionic Bunny Versus Elias Howe,

0:12:220:12:27

'written by Buster Baxter.'

0:12:270:12:30

Have you ever wished that, just for a minute, you could be someone else?

0:12:310:12:36

Mommy! I was watching TV and Arthur came in...

0:12:360:12:41

Arthur!

0:12:410:12:43

'Like when you're in trouble.'

0:12:430:12:46

Arthur, I... Oh! Hi, Thora.

0:12:470:12:50

Arthur!

0:12:500:12:52

Phew!

0:12:520:12:54

'Or when you just need to be grown up.'

PLAYS ELABORATE PIECE

0:13:090:13:11

But one guy is so cool that he must never want to be different.

0:13:110:13:16

He's my best friend, Buster Baxter.

0:13:160:13:19

Yo, Artie, man!

0:13:190:13:22

Huh?

0:13:220:13:24

(Pick Buster!)

0:13:310:13:33

Pick Buster! Yeah, Francine!

0:13:330:13:37

It's MY pick, and I pick...Buster.

0:13:370:13:40

Y-Y-Yes!

0:13:400:13:41

OK, then WE pick Arthur.

0:13:430:13:47

Yahoo! Yeah, team!

0:13:470:13:49

EVERYONE CHEERS

0:14:090:14:13

Wow, you guys really beat us!

0:14:140:14:16

Francine scored every goal.

0:14:160:14:19

In soccer, Francine's the best.

0:14:190:14:22

PLAYS A COMPLEX IMPROVISATION

0:14:220:14:25

SAX JOINS IN, THEN JAUNTY ENDING

0:14:260:14:31

-That was great!

-Nah. Sue Ellen and Binky are the ones who play great.

0:14:310:14:36

-Yeah, but what you did was so funny!

-IMITATES TUBA

0:14:360:14:41

My food-chain project shows a shark eating everything in its path.

0:14:440:14:50

Cool shark, Buster!

0:14:550:14:58

Nah, it's just a dumb drawing.

0:14:580:15:01

Buster, are you all right?

0:15:010:15:04

-You're hardly eating.

-Oh? Uh...I didn't notice.

0:15:040:15:09

Button, I'm a mother AND a newspaper woman.

0:15:090:15:13

Tell me what's wrong cos I'll find out.

0:15:130:15:16

-It's just...I'm not the best at anything.

-Of course you are, Shoog.

0:15:160:15:21

-What am I the best at?

-You're the best at being my cute, cuddly boy!

0:15:210:15:27

That's not exactly the answer I was hoping for, Mom.

0:15:270:15:31

Buster did this cool picture of a shark

0:15:310:15:35

and in music, he did this perfect... # Doo doo-doo doo doo, doo doo! #

0:15:350:15:40

-It was hilarious!

-Bumpster sounds like fun.

0:15:400:15:44

I bet he'd make a great brother.

0:15:440:15:46

Can we trade? Bumpster can live here and HE can move out.

0:15:460:15:51

- DW! - I just want everyone to be happy.

0:15:510:15:55

Am I the only one with family values?

0:15:550:15:59

I need a thing that, when everyone thinks of Buster,

0:16:000:16:05

they think - yeah, Buster's the best at...say, soccer!

0:16:050:16:09

Yeah, why not soccer?

0:16:090:16:12

DW's right. Buster IS cooler than me.

0:16:120:16:16

Everyone wants him on their team. Everybody loves Buster.

0:16:160:16:21

I do 500 on each foot every morning. 107, 108...

0:16:220:16:27

Me, too. One...

0:16:270:16:30

-Ow!

-I've got to work on my defensive game.

0:16:300:16:34

Oh, yeah, defensive game. Mm-hmm...

0:16:340:16:37

Why is Buster such fun to be with? What's he got that I haven't got?

0:16:380:16:43

Let's approach this mathematically. If we subtract Arthur from Buster,

0:16:430:16:49

-what's left is the difference.

-That's what I want to know!

0:16:490:16:54

The difference is X. Let's call it element X.

0:16:540:16:58

-What's element X?

-The difference.

0:16:580:17:02

Yeah... Oh.

0:17:020:17:04

But what IS it and how do I get it?

0:17:040:17:07

Discovering that could take years, and millions of dollars in research.

0:17:070:17:12

Or...you could just try reading his favourite joke books.

0:17:120:17:17

-Hope your team's ready to lose!

-Yeah! Hope your team's ready to lose!

0:17:170:17:23

-I got it!

-I

-got it!

0:17:260:17:29

-I'll get it!

-I got it!

0:17:310:17:34

-This one's mine!

-This one's mine!

0:17:440:17:47

Buster! You scored on our own team!

0:17:500:17:53

Wow! Francine's team lost big time!

0:17:550:17:59

What were you doing? Do you feel OK?

0:17:590:18:03

'Guess I'm not gonna be the soccer guy.'

0:18:050:18:10

My blouse is an original Rudolfo Casper off the rack.

0:18:100:18:15

And my Mona Nini skirt completes the ensemble.

0:18:150:18:19

Hey, this school doesn't have a fashion guy! That's it!

0:18:190:18:24

My shirt is an original...um, T. And my blue jeans

0:18:260:18:30

-with the green grass stain complete the ensemble.

-So what?!

0:18:300:18:35

Oh, never mind. To get the kind of attention Muffy gets,

0:18:350:18:39

I have to wear GIRLS' clothes. I don't want THAT much attention.

0:18:390:18:44

Einstein's theory of relativity is proof for my time-travel theorem.

0:18:440:18:51

The quantum variables suggest evidence of black holes.

0:18:510:18:55

-Right...Buster?

-YAGH!

0:18:550:18:59

GROWLING

0:19:000:19:02

ARGH!

0:19:090:19:12

Buster was weird today. I bet Arthur knows why.

0:19:120:19:16

- I haven't seen Arthur. - He'll be in the logical place.

0:19:160:19:20

Where?!

0:19:200:19:22

He's behind a book. He always is.

0:19:230:19:26

Hey, guys!

0:19:370:19:39

What's wrong with Buster? He's not himself.

0:19:390:19:43

My definition of a well-balanced meal...

0:19:430:19:46

is a carrot in each hand!

0:19:460:19:49

I think we've found Buster.

0:19:530:19:55

We better go talk to the Brain.

0:19:550:19:58

This "being the best at everything" idea was wrong. To improve myself,

0:19:580:20:04

I should try to be like the person I most admire, like...Arthur

0:20:040:20:09

or Abraham Lincoln. Yeah!

0:20:090:20:12

Oh, it'll take me years to grow a beard...but I can be like Arthur!

0:20:150:20:20

-Hey, thanks! It was fun talking!

-Argh!

0:20:200:20:24

Arthur's wrong. That guy's no fun at all.

0:20:250:20:29

This is very hard to believe, girls.

0:20:300:20:34

Did you hear about the chameleon who walked down the street

0:20:370:20:42

and turned into a store? Get it?!

0:20:420:20:44

I was in the playground with DW.

0:20:470:20:50

Her imaginary friend is always getting in the way.

0:20:500:20:54

I've never seen anything like it! I can't tell which is who any more!

0:20:580:21:03

They even LOOK like each other. Muffy, Buster has EARS!

0:21:030:21:07

- Oh, yeah. - This is about element X.

0:21:070:21:11

I know the problem - all boys are weird!

0:21:110:21:15

Hey! I can explain what I mean!

0:21:150:21:19

Have you heard the joke about the talking tennis shoes?

0:21:190:21:23

Yeah. That Pal is one smart dog.

0:21:230:21:27

Yeah, I know.

0:21:270:21:30

Well, I'd better get going. See ya.

0:21:300:21:32

Bye.

0:21:320:21:34

Arthur's...boring. He keeps telling me old jokes I've heard before.

0:21:370:21:42

Buster's not funny any more and he keeps talking about DW.

0:21:440:21:48

Who wants to listen to someone complain about DW?

0:21:480:21:52

Arthur's so depressed,

0:21:540:21:57

like he's lost his best friend. He IS his best friend.

0:21:570:22:02

- I discovered something last night. - What?! What?!

0:22:020:22:07

- This isn't in any books. - Ohh.

0:22:070:22:11

-Hi. Bye.

-Bye.

0:22:130:22:16

They hardly even speak to each other!

0:22:160:22:19

They've been ruined by your element X!

0:22:190:22:22

Scientists are not to blame for this.

0:22:220:22:26

Well, somebody's got to do something!

0:22:260:22:29

Buster! Arthur! Want to play soccer?

0:22:330:22:36

Gee, I have some library books to return.

0:22:360:22:40

And I'm pretty hungry.

0:22:400:22:43

I can't STAND this any more! Cut it out right now!

0:22:430:22:47

You guys have successfully transferred element X.

0:22:470:22:51

No, no, no! Forget element X!

0:22:510:22:55

We like Arthur as Arthur AND we like Buster as Buster, and so do you!

0:22:550:23:01

You were perfect the way you were. Just be yourselves!

0:23:040:23:08

Give me that! ..Buster, lose the sweater!

0:23:080:23:11

And no more talking about DW. She's ARTHUR'S sister!

0:23:110:23:16

-I was just trying to be like a great person.

-Me too.

0:23:160:23:21

Don't...say...anything! It's over. Come and play soccer, and have fun.

0:23:210:23:26

I think it worked. Of course!

0:23:280:23:31

Francine can yell at rain and make it stop.

0:23:310:23:35

Oh, here's a good one. "What runs around the field but never moves?"

0:23:370:23:42

-The fence!

-Oh, you know what DW did yesterday?

0:23:420:23:47

What?

0:23:470:23:49

Ahh, that's more like it.
