0:01:10 > 0:01:13There we go, dear! Good as new.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18- Thanks, Grandma.- Grandma Thora is good at so many things.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22She was the only one who made me feel better when I'd chickenpox.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26I warned your father! I said, "You better get the car started -
0:01:26 > 0:01:29"this baby is on its way!"
0:01:29 > 0:01:32She's really great at bingo.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Twenty-nine.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39Bingo! Yes, sir! My mojo is working tonight!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Bring on that barrel of pickles!
0:01:41 > 0:01:46She can stop DW's temper tantrums using simple household items.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49He ALWAYS gets more pudding!
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Och, Stinky McTavish knows just how ye feel!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- You do?- Aye! Life is so unfair.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02But there's one thing I wish she wasn't so good at.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Ready to knuckle down, sonny?
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- These Dopemon cards. - Wow! You got Stinkachu!
0:02:17 > 0:02:20The Polly Locket SQV convertible.

0:02:32 > 0:02:3817 presents in all. That's a 5.9% increase from last year.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- A great birthday!- What are these?
0:02:41 > 0:02:46Marbles. They don't even take batteries. It's a caveman toy!
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I like the way they feel.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52You can have them. They probably only cost 5!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55They look like little planets.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57'Please, rabbit, don't crush us!
0:02:57 > 0:03:00'Please, no!'
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Actually, I think I'll keep them.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07They might be worth something on the net.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11The point of the game
0:03:11 > 0:03:15is to knock the marbles out of the ring with your shooter.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- The player who knocks out the most wins.- Sounds easy enough.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Oops!
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- One more game. I'll loan you some! - I've had enough marbles for one day!
0:03:35 > 0:03:39OK. I've got enough here for a solar system. Great game, Arthur!
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Mmm...
0:03:41 > 0:03:44You two are so sweet to be my guinea pigs.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I think you'll like this!
0:03:47 > 0:03:51I call it tunaroni. BARKING
0:03:51 > 0:03:56- Arthur, did you hear the doorbell? - Why, yes, I did!
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Really? I didn't hear anything.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04SCRAPING OF PLATES No. No-one there.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07My, you two were hungry!
0:04:07 > 0:04:13Well, I bet you have room for a little more! What's that, Arthur?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15This? It's my last marble.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20He lost the rest to Buster! Even I could beat Buster!
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Looks like your taw - that's another name for the shooter.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Mine was black with red stripes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32- I wonder if I still have those marbles.- Can we look for them now?
0:04:34 > 0:04:38There they are! These sure bring back memories!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I won this one from Herman Truman.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Legend has it that one belonged to the great Lefty Rapozo!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48This was my shooter! Cannonball.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- She almost got me to the championship in New jersey!- You were that good?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I was really just an amateur!
0:04:55 > 0:04:59You can have them. I'll come and watch you play sometime.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Thanks!
0:05:04 > 0:05:09Woo-hoo! Way to go, Francine! Another aggie for the ladies!
0:05:13 > 0:05:18This is your last shot! If you miss this, you lose everything!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Don't mess it up. Oh, yeah, and remain calm.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Excuse me...
0:05:25 > 0:05:30I don't like to interfere, but could I take a shot for Arthur?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33It's been years since I've played.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Let me check with my sponsor!
0:05:35 > 0:05:38WHISPERING
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Sure! It'll be more interesting.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Aw!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Marbles!
0:05:56 > 0:06:00We used to call this shot the atom smasher!
0:06:02 > 0:06:07We did it! We won! Hey, we're rich in marbles!
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Oh, no, Arthur, that would be playing for keepsies.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Serious players only play for fair.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Here you go, Francine.
0:06:16 > 0:06:22Great hook shot, but you lack control. Try playing with your left.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Thanks, Mrs Read!- Grandma, teach me everything you know!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I thought you'd never ask!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Hi, Grandma, I'm here for my...
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Ow!
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Talent you have, but no patience,
0:06:54 > 0:06:58no humility. Much you have to learn...
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Much... So we'd better get cracking. Arthur?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Huh? Oh, yeah. Shall I set up the ring in the living room?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09No, it's much too early for that!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12First come finger drills!
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Sure, Milly, I'll do that real soon. Just a sec.
0:07:28 > 0:07:34- What's this exercise for?- Mmm? Oh... Extending your reach.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38And that floor hasn't been waxed in years!
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Nice English on that taw! You've really got good these past few days!
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- Am I ready for the championship?- No, at least not the one in New Jersey,
0:07:50 > 0:07:56- but I bet you could show your friends a thing or two.- Yeah, I could!
0:07:58 > 0:08:04Sign up for the marbles tournament? No qualifications necessary.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Sure. What's the prize? - Buster's taking care of that.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Round candy, lots of it, and it should be in a bowl
0:08:12 > 0:08:14about the size of a large pizza.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Only one marble left in the ring.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Arthur's got to hook it just right.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22And he does it!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25He's off to a great start here!
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Down by 5, Arthur needs a miracle to turn this game around.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33And he makes the shot!
0:08:34 > 0:08:39He's looking at the angles. Should he use his forefinger or thumb?
0:08:39 > 0:08:43- Forefinger...?- Buster! Cut that out and just play!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46OK. Muffy, could you grab this?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51And he does it! Incredible!
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Wait a minute! There goes my shot at the prize!
0:08:55 > 0:08:58No malted balls,
0:08:58 > 0:09:00no chocolate-covered cherries...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Oh, the humanity!
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- Brain, keeping that sundae cool for me? A few more players...- Arthur...
0:09:10 > 0:09:16- Look at the sheet.- Why? Did Francine try to sign up twice?
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- I taught you everything you know, but not everything- I- know!
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Keep the change!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Woof!- Sorry.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39My fingers just aren't doing what I want them to!
0:09:43 > 0:09:49It's a sign I should quit for tonight. Sleep - that's all I need.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52A good night's sleep.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Without his Grandma's help, he couldn't win a single game!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Francine? Where are you?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Heave-ho!
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- Whoa! Those are some big ants! - RUMBLING
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Oh, no! It's coming!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Abandon mission!
0:10:17 > 0:10:21There's only room for one marbles champion in this family!
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Aargh!
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Don't be nervous, Arthur. Your palms will sweat, you won't shoot right...
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- so just calm down!- I am calm, Buster! I've decided to lose!
0:10:38 > 0:10:42You can't do that! Have you seen the prize? Seven types of candy!
0:10:42 > 0:10:47- Seven!- But if I win, Grandma will be really embarrassed!
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Even though I want to win and probably would, I can't hurt her.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54You'd do that for your grandma?
0:10:54 > 0:10:59- I wish I had a grandson like you! - But don't tell anyone, OK?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Guess what I just heard!
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Whoops!
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Drat! Missed again!
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Boy, am I butterfingers!
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I don't care how good a grandson he is. This is boring!
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Arthur, are you losing on purpose?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Of course not! Why on earth would I do that?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35This looks like a good spot to finish this game!
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Oh, dear me! I'm disqualified!
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- What?- When I used to play, if a player put her foot in the ring,
0:11:44 > 0:11:49she forfeited the game. It's a technicality, but you've won, Arthur!
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Congratulations!
0:11:51 > 0:11:54How's that sundae, Arthur?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56You lost on purpose, didn't you?
0:11:56 > 0:12:02Just like you missed those easy shots on purpose. Why did you do that?
0:12:02 > 0:12:07I didn't want to really lose! I could never beat you!
0:12:07 > 0:12:11How do you know? You didn't even try!
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Don't you think it's better to lose a good game than win a bad one?
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Yeah, but you know what gets me? I had you a couple of times!
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- I beg your pardon?! - In the middle of the game,
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- you left four marbles on the edge of the ring...- Part of my plan!
0:12:45 > 0:12:50- What scary movie are we watching? - I Know What You Did Last Wednesday!
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- I went to school, then the library. So?- No, that's the name of the movie!
0:12:55 > 0:12:59It's a sequel to I Know What You Did Last Tuesday.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Don't open it!
0:13:03 > 0:13:08I know what's going to happen! She'll open it, a coat will fall on her,
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- she'll laugh, turn around, then see the ghost.- You've seen this movie?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17No, but horror movies are very predictable. Watch.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Eek!
0:13:26 > 0:13:28See?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- This is boring now.- I'll say!
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Watching a scary movie in a haunted house isn't that great!
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- I'm taking my TV home!- What happened? I'm too scared!
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Calm down, everyone. I brought a flashlight.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48Wow! Looks like no-one's been in here for years!
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Oh, well, must be a fuse box somewhere.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56This is starting to look familiar!
0:13:56 > 0:14:01But there's no such thing as ghosts. CREAK! Who's there?
0:14:01 > 0:14:08Come on, Alan, there's no such thing as ghosts, no such thing...
0:14:08 > 0:14:10no such thing...
0:14:22 > 0:14:28Bottom of the 9th, 2 out. You have to save us from total humiliation!
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Use this new bat.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35You've got to spit on the bat!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Why? It's unhygienic!
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- Strike 1!- Just do it!
0:14:42 > 0:14:48- It's lucky.- Spitting isn't lucky. It's just a way to spread germs.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Strike 2!
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Please! We really need this!- Do it!
0:14:58 > 0:15:023 out! Mighty Mountain wins 10-0!
0:15:02 > 0:15:07The lamppost was in the way. It was nothing to do with not spitting!
0:15:07 > 0:15:12It's a tradition! Like smashing a champagne bottle against a new ship.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17- All the pros do it. - I should've worn my lucky hat!
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I should've worn my lucky socks.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24Luck had nothing to do with losing! They were just better than us!
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Yeah...and luckier.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33People have always held superstitious beliefs.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38No-one has ever proved one of these superstitions to be true.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41OK! Can I have another ice cream?
0:15:41 > 0:15:44MIAOW!
0:15:44 > 0:15:50Don't move! We have to go the other way! A black cat crossed our path!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53You didn't listen to a word I said!
0:15:53 > 0:15:58I listened - you said no-one's ever proved a superstition to be true.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01That doesn't mean they aren't! Look!
0:16:01 > 0:16:08Even Mr Ratburn won't walk under that ladder! He knows it's bad luck.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11It was easier to walk around it!
0:16:11 > 0:16:17Maybe, but it was luckier. I can prove it - nothing fell on him!
0:16:17 > 0:16:20That's just reverse logic!
0:16:20 > 0:16:25Call it what you want, but it's still the truth! Whoa!
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Almost stepped on a crack. That can break your mother's back!
0:16:32 > 0:16:34It'll be dark before you get home!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37This has got to stop!
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Thank you for all agreeing to come to my experiment.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- Are you going to blow something up? - Sorry. Nothing so dramatic.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I'd like to draw your attention to exhibit A.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51The open ladder. THEY ALL GASP
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Exhibit B - the crack!
0:16:54 > 0:16:59THEY ALL GASP
0:16:59 > 0:17:02And, finally, exhibit C.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04The mirror.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- SMASH! - Now you've done it! That's seven years' bad luck!
0:17:09 > 0:17:13It is my hypothesis that there is no such thing as bad luck.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18I will chart the bad things that happen to me.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21If there is no increase, superstitions are false.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27- Aren't you a little bit scared?- Why should I be? Science is on my side!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I'm getting outta here!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I knew it was going to rain!
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I even brought my umbrella.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Dropped a knife! Male visitor.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Mom! You don't believe that?! DOORBELL
0:17:50 > 0:17:54I bet you don't know what 96 divided by 12 is!
0:17:54 > 0:17:55- Sure I do. It's 8. - Thanks.
0:17:55 > 0:18:01How about the square root of 64?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Come on in!
0:18:04 > 0:18:08I'll help you, but you'll never learn anything if you always...
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Where's my backpack gone?
0:18:11 > 0:18:16I must've left it at school! At least we can do our math!
0:18:16 > 0:18:20I've got questions and you've got answers!
0:18:31 > 0:18:36It's not bad luck. That roof always leaks when it rains hard.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38The storm'll let up soon.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41THUNDER CRASHES
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Alan, wake up, it's 8.50.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I'm late!
0:18:54 > 0:18:57You forgot your lunch and homework!
0:18:57 > 0:19:02If I was really having bad luck, I'd have left those at home.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09No!
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Not my homework! Take the lunch!
0:19:21 > 0:19:24This can't be happening!
0:19:30 > 0:19:34You joined us(?) Your homework here.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37I don't have it. A dog ate it.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40GASPS
0:19:42 > 0:19:46Cheer up. Only 6 years and 364 days of bad luck to go!
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Mmm! This is statistically significant data!
0:19:50 > 0:19:55With Friday the 13th just two days away, my luck could get even worse!
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I could have the worst luck ever!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00BARKING
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Science, why have you forsaken me?
0:20:14 > 0:20:20I thought I'd come to you. You have non-scientific stuff down to a...
0:20:20 > 0:20:24science! And what with tomorrow being Friday the 13th...
0:20:24 > 0:20:31Say no more! You came to the right place! We'll undo your bad luck!
0:20:31 > 0:20:37Salt. When something bad happens, toss it over your left shoulder.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Take the whole box.
