0:00:06 > 0:00:11# Has an original point of view

0:00:53 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day! Hey! What a wonderful kind of day! Hey! #
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hey, DW!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Hey!- Oh!
0:01:07 > 0:01:12The war in Bolodzka raged on today as rebel troops seized control...
0:01:12 > 0:01:16- You're not answering the question! - I'm trying to.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19What is the question?
0:01:19 > 0:01:25How did you feel when you found that Ethel had run off with your husband,
0:01:25 > 0:01:30stolen all your money and burned your house down?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35The whole world is filled with nothing but fighting.
0:01:35 > 0:01:41- Arthur...- Not now, DW. Why is it so hard for people to get along?
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Everyone wants the same things - a home, enough food, friends...
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- I just wanted to ask...- Not now!
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- If people acted like they were a family...- Arthur!
0:01:53 > 0:01:59Quit bothering me! Why don't you play with Pal or something?
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Where was I? If people just acted like they were in one big family,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07then there'd be peace in the world.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17DW! Yeah!
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Honey, you must come quick. I finally did it!
0:02:35 > 0:02:40It's the most amazing, beautiful, colossal, delectable, delightful...
0:02:40 > 0:02:46- Dear, what is it?- Behold the David L Read super souffle!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Aaagh!
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- She did it!- He did it! - She did it!- He did it!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Everyone, into the living room now!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04All right, what happened?
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- I just wanted to ask a question... - DW wanted me to play with her...
0:03:11 > 0:03:16I've heard enough! No TV for both of you for two months!
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- It was her fault! - Was not!- Was too!
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Three months!- Three months?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Maybe that is a bit...- Four months!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Oh, forget it!
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Look how upset you've made Daddy!
0:03:35 > 0:03:39You both need to cool down. Up to your rooms!
0:03:39 > 0:03:45Can I still go to the petting zoo with the Tibbles later?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49And I have to go to the bionic bunny arcade.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52We'll just have to wait and see.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56She does something wrong and I get punished, too!
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I'll probably always be taking the blame for her.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06DW, where did you get all this Crazy Bus stuff?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10BANGING ON DOOR Open up! It's the police!
0:04:11 > 0:04:18- What are policemen doing in your room?- My room? But this is your...
0:04:18 > 0:04:23We caught the Crazy Bus crook red-handed. Book him, Charlie!
0:04:27 > 0:04:33Hello, Arthur. I asked Mom and Dad to come, too, but they wouldn't.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35They were too ashamed.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39You should be in here. I'm innocent!
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Blah-blah-blah-blah! You'll be out in 50 years.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I thought you might want some music.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50"CRAZY BUS" THEME
0:04:50 > 0:04:53No!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56SHE LAUGHS
0:04:56 > 0:05:00I'd better do something about this before it's too late.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05Why me? Where's all the good brothers in the world?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Why did I get stuck with Arthur?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Are you still coming to the petting zoo?
0:05:15 > 0:05:19No, I'm being punished for something Arthur did!
0:05:19 > 0:05:24I'm always getting blamed for something Timmy did.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- I get blamed more!- No, I do!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Liar!- You're the liar!
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Liar!
0:05:32 > 0:05:37Look at those two. They can't go two minutes without fighting.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41That's what Arthur and I will be like for ever.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- Admit it! You broke the souffle. - No, you did it!
0:05:57 > 0:06:02I don't want to spend all my time fighting. It's so boring!
0:06:05 > 0:06:11- I've thought about it and I think we should do the right thing.- Me, too.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Aren't you going to confess? - It's your fault!
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- Is not!- Is too!- Is not!- Is too!
0:06:24 > 0:06:28We've got to get to the bottom of this.
0:06:28 > 0:06:34Your father and I have decided. Arthur, you can go to the arcade.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36DW, you can go to the petting zoo.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40If we can resolve this problem.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45We want to hear what happened. Draw pictures to help explain it.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- And do not interrupt each other. Who wants to go first?- Me!- Me!
0:06:50 > 0:06:55- Let's arm-wrestle to decide. - No way. Your arm's bigger!
0:06:55 > 0:07:01- DW, how should we decide who goes first?- We should flip a coin.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Heads.- Tails.- Heads. - I was going to say heads.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Flip a coin to see who gets to say heads.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14No, dear. Arthur, you go first.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19I'll tell you what happened. I was in the den sitting on the couch.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- Liar! You were in the chair! - DW, your turn is coming.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29Anyway, I was just minding my own business doing my homework
0:07:29 > 0:07:32when DW came in wanting to play.
0:07:32 > 0:07:38- Play with me now!- I can't, DW. I have to finish my homework.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45'She started bothering Pal. She was throwing his bacon toy all wrong.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50'So I had to show her the right way to do it.' Like this!
0:07:54 > 0:07:58'I threw it to her, but she wasn't paying attention.'
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- I got it, I got it!- DW, wait! 'I told her
0:08:03 > 0:08:09'to watch out for Dad's souffle, but I didn't get there in time.'
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Arthur did it! - 'That's just the way it happened.'
0:08:13 > 0:08:17So you see, it was all her fault. The end.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21I'm surprised we're not all asleep.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25That's what happens when people listen to fairy tales!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28OK, DW, you tell us what happened.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34You'll believe Arthur's story. He draws better!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37You don't have to draw it.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45The arcade will be closed by the time she's ready.
0:08:45 > 0:08:51Sorry it took so long. I had trouble finding the right doll for Arthur.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56All right, everyone. Get ready for the real story.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I didn't want to play with Arthur.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04He always thinks I want to play with him. Like he's the most fun brother!
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Maybe we could just skip to... - No interrupting.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I wanted to ask Arthur a question.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- Dearest brother, what is the time? - Quit bothering me!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19I'm pretending to do my homework.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27'Then Pal picked up the bacon toy because he wanted to play with me.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31'That doesn't look like Pal and it's a female!'
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- 'Arthur!- OK, OK!
0:09:35 > 0:09:39'Everything was going fine until Arthur butted in
0:09:39 > 0:09:43'and threw the toy hard. I ran into the kitchen to get it
0:09:43 > 0:09:48'because I knew we shouldn't play near Daddy's "sloofay",
0:09:48 > 0:09:54'but Arthur pushed me into the table and that made the "sloofay" fall.'
0:09:56 > 0:09:59That's what really happened.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Liar!- You're the liar! SHRILL WHISTLE
0:10:03 > 0:10:08- DW, did you actually see the souffle fall?- No.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12But you were both in the kitchen when it happened.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16I see that neither of you are wearing shoes.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20The kitchen floor is slippery in just socks.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- I was running kind of fast. - So was I.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27It all happened so fast.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32I guess I could have slipped into the table.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34It's possible I slid into DW.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Maybe we both kind of made the souffle fall.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Isn't there something we can do for Dad?
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Pal already cleaned up the mess.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57BOTH: We're really, really sorry.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02- I have to get to the arcade. - I hope the Tibbles haven't left.
0:11:17 > 0:11:23- I don't think I've ever seen Dad looking so down.- No. What can we do?
0:11:23 > 0:11:28- Did you separate the egg yolks from the egg whites?- Yeah.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Here are the whites.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Those are the shells!
0:11:34 > 0:11:37And what colour are they?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Who put you in charge of making the "sloofay"?
0:11:41 > 0:11:46It's souffle. Souffle. You can't even say it right!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49What is it now?
0:11:49 > 0:11:55We saw how upset you were, so we decided not to go out
0:11:55 > 0:11:58and make you another "shooflay"...
0:11:58 > 0:12:01You were trying to make a souffle?
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Let's get to it. The key is fresh Gruyere. And we'll need some nutmeg.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09That's my little secret.
0:12:09 > 0:12:15- David, that is the most beautiful thing you've ever made!- It isn't.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21It's the most beautiful thing WE'VE ever made!
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Dig in!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Hmm, wow!- This is delicious!
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Being a kid is about the most fun job I can think of.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I feel dizzy.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- Me, too. Isn't it great?- Yeah.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Let's do it again.- OK.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- That wasn't even close. - I know, but it was fun.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01It does have a certain appeal!
0:13:03 > 0:13:08I really can't imagine why anyone would ever be in a hurry to grow up.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Hi, Muffy!
0:13:18 > 0:13:23Francine, why do you insist on embarrassing me like that?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- Excuse me? - That lunch box you're carrying.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32It's so babyish. Your mom packs you peanut butter and jelly!
0:13:32 > 0:13:36Puh-lease, Francine!
0:13:36 > 0:13:42- Mature Misses head for the salad bar.- They do?- Of course they do!
0:13:42 > 0:13:45It says so right here.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Honestly, Francine!
0:13:49 > 0:13:54PJs with feet are so second-grade!
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- But I like these.- Maybe so.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Mature Misses only wear pyjamas without feet.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04If you're so mature, you shouldn't sleep over.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09Maybe you ought to find someone else to hang out with altogether.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14- Really?- Yes. Someone more grown-up perhaps.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19What a wonderful idea, Francine. That's exactly what I'll do.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- I'll find someone who appreciates my maturity.- Fine.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28I'm calling Daddy to tell him to send a limo to pick me up.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32I can't wait. Angie's party will be the best ever.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I gotta go. I'll call you back.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Catherine, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation.
0:14:40 > 0:14:46It's so cool that you get to go to parties and do other mature stuff.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51- Yeah, whatever.- Are you kidding? It's completely amazing!
0:14:51 > 0:14:53I can't wait to be a teenager.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58Muffy, it's not all fun. Sometimes it's a total challenge.
0:14:58 > 0:15:04Take tomorrow. I only have 24 hours to pick out an outfit for the party.
0:15:04 > 0:15:10- Talk about pressure!- Go vintage. Everyone in Mature Miss is doing it.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15- You're guaranteed no-one will have the same outfit.- Vintage?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Yeah. It's totally in.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22I'll go shopping with you to help you pick out an outfit.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27- I know a great boutique... - That's not a good idea.- Why not?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31What if someone sees us? You're in third grade, Muffy.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34I do have a reputation to uphold.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- You don't understand. I'm very mature for my age.- I'm sure you are.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44We can go early and beat the crowds. No-one will even see us.
0:15:44 > 0:15:50- I don't think so. I'm not a morning person.- Come on, Catherine, please!
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- It'll be fun. We can take my dad's limo.- Limo?
0:15:55 > 0:16:00OK, fine. Be here at 10am sharp.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04- Great. - But it's just the outfit, Muffy.
0:16:04 > 0:16:10- That's all the hanging out we do. - Deal. This is going to be so great!
0:16:10 > 0:16:15I finally get to hang out with someone who's mature.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Hmm...- No, no.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Too nautical.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Catherine, no. Never wear white after Labor Day.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30I don't think this is working. We've been at it two hours and nothing!
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Got it!- That?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Trust me. It's so out, it's in!
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Oh, it's perfect.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- Just perfect.- I agree. - What do you know?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I actually like it.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Thanks. I'll have the coolest outfit at the party.
0:16:52 > 0:16:58- See you!- You can't go to a party without getting your toenails done.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02I'm not into the whole pedicure thing.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Check out that grasshopper green.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- I read in Mature Miss it'll make any feet look two sizes smaller.- Really?
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- Cos my feet are a size 11. - When you're done, you'll be a 9.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I promise!
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- My feet have never looked smaller! - Thanks for noticing.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- What do you say, we go get some lunch? My treat.- That is so mature.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32I told you, Catherine. I'm very mature for my age.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36I'll have the house salad and an iced tea.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Make that two.- Excellent choice.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I need to use the rest room.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46At last! Someone who understands the joy of age-appropriate food.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- This is too good to be true.- Muffy!
0:17:49 > 0:17:54- Francine, what are you doing?- Going roller-skating. What about you?
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- I'm having a salad, not that it's your business.- Alone?
0:17:59 > 0:18:05As a matter of fact, no. I'm here with someone very mature.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- Really? Who? - Catherine, if you must know.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14- Catherine, as in my sister Catherine?- That's the one.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18You couldn't have anything in common.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Catherine's in high school. You're in third grade.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24You're in way over your head, Muffy.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30- She won't want to keep hanging out with someone your age.- We'll see.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33I guess we will. Come on, Arthur.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38So jealous! Just like a child.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Where are our salads? I need to get going.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45I was just about to give you this.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- What?- A ring from the thrift store.
0:18:48 > 0:18:55- The stone will go perfectly with your outfit.- Thanks. That's so cool.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00- Cool enough to go to the party with you?- No, not that cool.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Catherine, please. We can take the limo again.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Sorry, you can't come to the party.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12I'll give you a ride. I'll get to be seen with you.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15One last time.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Fine, but that's it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Thanks for the ride, Muffy.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- Wow! Way cool limo! - Thanks. It's my dad's.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I'm Muffy, a friend of Catherine's.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33A friend of my sister's and she was just leaving.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37I'm Angie. This is Debbie and Tammy.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- Cool outfit, Catherine. - Thanks. I picked it out myself.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46I have to give some credit to the folks at Mature Miss.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50I have my very own prescription to their magazine.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I'm very mature for my age.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Come in and join the party, Muffy.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01- We're hearing about Debbie's first date with Robert.- Angie!
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- It'll be fun.- Sounds great.
0:20:04 > 0:20:10At the end of the date, he planted one on me. It came out of nowhere.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14I so couldn't believe it! So lucky!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- He planted one what on you?- Duh!
0:20:17 > 0:20:23- She's talking about a kiss. A kiss good night!- Ew! That's disgusting!
0:20:23 > 0:20:28I'd never let a boy kiss me. Not in a million years!
0:20:28 > 0:20:34- You've never been kissed by a boy before, Muffy?- Of course I have.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39I meant never on the first date. They teach that in Mature Miss.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44Of course that's what you meant(!) THEY LAUGH
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Ew! Gross!
0:20:52 > 0:20:58- I love this song.- I've got an idea. Why don't we all dance?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02I learned some great moves in Mature Miss.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Hello! Dancing is for little kids, Muffy!
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Teenagers just sit and listen to the poetry of the words.
0:21:12 > 0:21:18Let's not dance. Let's just sit and listen. That's what I usually do.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Uh-huh. Sure it is(!) LAUGHTER
0:21:23 > 0:21:30- Who wants a cup of instant almond vanilla decaf?- Count me in!- Muffy?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Mature Miss says that coffee stunts your growth.
0:21:34 > 0:21:41Don't believe everything you read in teen magazines. Coffee's this way!
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- Isn't she funny? She's so "mature"! - Totally funny!
0:21:45 > 0:21:49You couldn't buy entertainment this good!
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Are you OK, Muffy?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Oh, come on. It's not that bad.
0:21:56 > 0:22:02- Your friends think I'm a big joke and you do, too.- No, I don't.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05You're cool for a third grader.
0:22:05 > 0:22:11- Then how come tonight is such a disaster?- It isn't a disaster.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Even though you may be mature for your age,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18you're not ready to hang out with high schoolers.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Yeah, maybe you're right.
0:22:21 > 0:22:27Coffee, kissing, the poetry of the words? Who am I kidding?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31I know someone who would like to hang out with you,
0:22:31 > 0:22:36- who's been moping around our apartment missing you.- Francine?
0:22:36 > 0:22:43- I'm sure she's so mad at me. Will she forgive me?- It's worth a try.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49- You're pretty persuasive.- Thanks. I'm gonna call for a ride home.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Enjoy your coffee.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02- Hi, Francine.- The salad bar's that way.- Actually, I brought mine today.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07- Peanut butter and jelly? - My mom packed it.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15- What's this?- An invitation to a sleepover at my house.- I don't know.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21- I don't think I have the right pyjamas.- Wear whatever you want.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26- What's going on, Muffy?- I'm not as mature as I thought I was.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31You were right about the whole Catherine thing. It didn't work out.
0:23:31 > 0:23:37- Anyway, I'm really sorry if I hurt you, Francine.- Well, it's OK.
0:23:37 > 0:23:44- I know you want to be a teenager. I think about it, too.- You do?- Sure.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49- So you'll get rid of those awful pyjamas?- Don't push it, Muffy!
0:23:49 > 0:23:53Just kidding!
