0:00:33 > 0:00:37# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart

0:00:43 > 0:00:48- # And I say, hey!- Hey! - What a wonderful kind of day

0:00:48 > 0:00:53- # If we can learn to work and play And get along with each other!- Hey!

0:00:53 > 0:00:59# What a wonderful kind of day, hey! What a wonderful kind of day, HEY! #

0:00:59 > 0:01:03- Hey, DW!- Hey!

0:01:08 > 0:01:13GERMAN ACCENT: Tiniest relatives, here in Berlin it's 6.48am

0:01:13 > 0:01:15and 20 seconds.

0:01:15 > 0:01:20My new camera 3000 tells the time in 50 different countries.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23In Helsinki it's 7.49.

0:01:23 > 0:01:28In Matsuyama it's almost 3am. That's Japan. In Wellington, New Zealand...

0:01:28 > 0:01:31An open shot! I'm gonna score!

0:01:31 > 0:01:34In Caraway... Ah!

0:01:34 > 0:01:36HE GASPS

0:01:36 > 0:01:41Arthur, tell Binky I'm not talking to him until he apologises.

0:01:41 > 0:01:46Me?! Tell Brain, till he apologises for blowing my shot,

0:01:46 > 0:01:51- never speaking's just fine! - Oh, yeah? Arthur, tell Binky...

0:01:51 > 0:01:54- CAR HORN BLOWS - Sorry, got to go.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07Muffy's got a ballet class. Do either of you need a ride?

0:02:07 > 0:02:12- My mum's coming any moment.- Well, my mum's taking me to the movies.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16- You're OK waiting? - I am, but maybe Binky's not!

0:02:16 > 0:02:19I can wait ten times longer than HIM!

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Gee, my mother's never late.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29Hey, Brain, do you know what time it is?

0:02:29 > 0:02:31Grrr!

0:02:38 > 0:02:42How long did you say we had been waiting?

0:02:42 > 0:02:46I don't know. You broke my watch, remember?!

0:02:46 > 0:02:50I thought we weren't TALKING to each other!

0:02:50 > 0:02:55- So how long do you think we've been waiting?- I don't know. A LONG time!

0:02:55 > 0:02:59I knew it! What if my mother never comes?!

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Oh, I'm late to pick up Binky.

0:03:06 > 0:03:11Let's not pick him up. It's so nice and quiet without him.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15You're right. We can watch what WE want on TV for once.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17And think of the savings.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Food, clothes, sitters.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24That was Binky's favourite. Enjoy!

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Ah, this is the life!

0:03:27 > 0:03:32No dinners to cook, no rooms to clean and best of all, no...

0:03:32 > 0:03:36- What was our son's name again? - I forget!

0:03:39 > 0:03:41They've forgotten me.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Binky, be logical. Our mothers are probably just stuck in traffic.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51- On a Sunday?- Well, maybe something's causing the traffic.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Hey!

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Come on, all that traffic from one duck?

0:04:03 > 0:04:08- Well, it could be a whole family of ducks.- But can't ducks fly?

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Mmm, that's true.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13But ostriches can't!

0:04:19 > 0:04:24Maybe there was a rip in the time/space continuum.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32According to Einstein's theory of relativity,

0:04:32 > 0:04:34they would be travelling at speeds

0:04:34 > 0:04:39that'd make time move slower for them than for us here on earth.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41'Time is relative.'

0:04:41 > 0:04:46They could show up years from now without knowing how long it's been.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53Sorry, we're a few minutes late.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56A few minutes(?) We've been waiting 70 years

0:04:56 > 0:04:59for you, young whippersnappers.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- HE GULPS - You're really weird!

0:05:03 > 0:05:07I'm just saying, we need to examine ALL the possibilities.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11Maybe they'll feel bad about being so late.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15- This could be the best day of our lives.- What are you talking about?

0:05:15 > 0:05:18We've been waiting so long,

0:05:18 > 0:05:22our parents will feel really GUILTY and then we've got it made.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27It's a great cake, but where are the presents?!

0:05:27 > 0:05:32Well, sweetums, you've had 13 birthday parties this year.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36We figured you'd be happy with just the cake.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Do I need to remind you how long I waited in the cold,

0:05:40 > 0:05:42the howling wind...?

0:05:42 > 0:05:47- Yes, but...- Perhaps I could tell the local newspaper all about it.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50Oh, Daddy's running to the toy store right now.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53And swing by the ice-cream parlour!

0:05:53 > 0:05:56This cake's looking a little bare!

0:05:57 > 0:06:01- The longer we wait... - The greater their guilt!

0:06:01 > 0:06:05And I thought you were held back because you weren't so smart.

0:06:05 > 0:06:09No, it was so I could pass on my wisdom to you youngsters.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Our mums can take their sweet time.

0:06:12 > 0:06:16You said it. Every extra minute of waiting

0:06:16 > 0:06:19is like money in the bank!

0:06:20 > 0:06:25Ah, except for one thing. Waiting is really boring without TV.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27You don't need TV to pass the time.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31A good book on 18th century land reform would do.

0:06:31 > 0:06:36If you say so. But we don't have that either.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39Well, what did people do before TV and books?

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Watched clouds?

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Clouds - yes, that'll pass loads of time.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49See, there's a cumulus and a cumulonimbus.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54- Oh, and look, a stratocumulus cirrus.- You're doing it all wrong!

0:06:54 > 0:06:57You're supposed to use your imagination.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01OK, then... what does that one look like?

0:07:01 > 0:07:07- Wow, it looks just like... - Yeah, an amoeba!- An amoeba?

0:07:07 > 0:07:11I was going to say that cotton thing that you clean ears with.

0:07:11 > 0:07:16- You mean...a swab?- Yeah, a swab! Except without the stick.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Binky, concentrate! Surely you see an amoeba?

0:07:21 > 0:07:24I don't see an amoeba! I see a swab!

0:07:24 > 0:07:28OK, OK, it's a stickless swab!

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Wow, another tie.

0:07:32 > 0:07:38- Brain...what's an amoeba? - It's a one-celled microscopic...

0:07:38 > 0:07:42No, I can't take it! I am so bored!

0:07:42 > 0:07:47We must have broken the world record for waiting.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Please, Mum, we won't make you feel guilty!

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Just come and pick us u-u-up!

0:07:56 > 0:08:01- Hey! H...E...- What are you doing?

0:08:01 > 0:08:03There! That should do the trick.

0:08:05 > 0:08:10- Binky, that only works if we're waiting for a plane, not a car.- Oh.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Or, in this case, gnats!

0:08:13 > 0:08:18Hey, look, a pair of Cleats! Someone must have left them behind.

0:08:18 > 0:08:23Do you understand what this means? Someone will come back for them!

0:08:23 > 0:08:25And we'll be saved!

0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Yes, yes!- Whoo-hoo!

0:08:28 > 0:08:33That is... if we don't die of hunger, first.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35I have carrots. My mum packed them.

0:08:35 > 0:08:40She works in an ice-cream parlour and all she packs are carrots(!)

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Would you prefer a turnip?

0:08:42 > 0:08:45- HE GROANS - I just remembered!

0:08:45 > 0:08:50My mum packed them when she still loved me. ..Peanut butter crackers!

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Thanks, Binky. I'm sorry I made you miss that goal.

0:09:03 > 0:09:08That's OK. I'm sorry I broke your watch.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10To never fighting again.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19You may want to conserve. Who knows how long we'll be here?

0:09:21 > 0:09:24I only took one sip of juice

0:09:24 > 0:09:28and I've divided my rations to last five more hours.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32Yeah, yeah, yeah! I'm starving!

0:09:32 > 0:09:36- Those crackers made me thirsty. - Too bad!

0:09:37 > 0:09:42'It was your juice box to begin with, Binky,

0:09:42 > 0:09:45'and we're so quenching!'

0:09:45 > 0:09:47Um...Binky?

0:09:47 > 0:09:50The cranberries are right!

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Give it to me!- Give it to me!

0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Stop it!- Got it!

0:09:58 > 0:10:03That was MY juice! It wasn't a fair fight! You're bigger than I am!

0:10:03 > 0:10:07That doesn't matter. On World of Wrestling,

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Tiny Tommy Tornado always wins

0:10:10 > 0:10:13because he has the better moves.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16All that wrestling is fake.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Not all of it. Look, take my arm, like this.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Ah! OK, I'll call.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Oh, my gosh! Are you OK?

0:10:26 > 0:10:30Sure. Nice reverse hammer flip back there. You're a natural.

0:10:30 > 0:10:34Wow, that was great! And it passed the time!

0:10:34 > 0:10:39- LOUD LICKING - Hey, do you hear something?- No!

0:10:39 > 0:10:43My crackers! Come back, you miserable cur!

0:10:43 > 0:10:49OK, if we catch him, we can attach a rescue note to his collar. Come on!

0:10:52 > 0:10:56- Here they are. - Hey, someone made a sign.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01KELP? Hmm...

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Isn't kelp a type of seaweed?

0:11:04 > 0:11:08I think so. Too bad Brain is not here. He'd know.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13BOTH: Wait! Stop! Save us!

0:11:18 > 0:11:22I'm reaching the end of my rope.

0:11:22 > 0:11:27- HE CRIES - I want my mummy! I want my mummy!

0:11:27 > 0:11:33Soon, the night, and then, the wolves. Binky, we're going to die!

0:11:33 > 0:11:37- HE CHOKES UP - It was nice knowing you, Brain.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40Likewise...Binky.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Binky?- Allan?

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Allan, what are you doing?

0:11:47 > 0:11:50BOTH: Mum! We're saved!

0:11:50 > 0:11:54I had an appointment where Binky's mother works,

0:11:54 > 0:11:58- so we decided to car pool here together.- And that's it?!

0:11:58 > 0:12:01What took you all these hours?!

0:12:01 > 0:12:06What are you talking about? We're only 15 minutes late. See?

0:12:06 > 0:12:08BOTH: 15 minutes?

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Gee, you were right after all.

0:12:11 > 0:12:16According to Einstein's theory of relativity, it was actually

0:12:16 > 0:12:18a lot longer than 15 minutes.

0:12:18 > 0:12:23- Allan, we still have time to go to the bookstore.- Are you kidding?

0:12:23 > 0:12:28World of Wrestling is on TV, and I don't want to miss a single minute!
