0:01:03 > 0:01:06Whoa-a-a!

0:01:42 > 0:01:47- What do you mean, "That again"?! Somebody stole my snowball!- DW!

0:01:47 > 0:01:53- I'm trying to read...- So no-one cares that my snowball was stolen?!

0:01:53 > 0:01:57People won't know the story if you won't let me say it!

0:01:57 > 0:02:03- I WOULD, if you would tell the story right!- Fine - do it yourself!

0:02:03 > 0:02:04OH!

0:02:11 > 0:02:12Ribbit!

0:02:12 > 0:02:18- Thank you! That was a wonderful dinner.- Happy birthday, old-timer!

0:02:18 > 0:02:22MOM! DAD! Look!

0:02:22 > 0:02:25- My snowball's back!- How wonderful!

0:02:25 > 0:02:29Right on the six-month, two-week, four-day anniversary

0:02:29 > 0:02:34- from when it got stolen! - I'm glad you're happy, honey.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37It makes my birthday extra special.

0:02:37 > 0:02:43OK, DW, you'll have to put that away for now. It's past your bedtime.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Be careful! It's very fragile!

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Slowly...

0:02:50 > 0:02:52slower...slower...

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Wait! You forgot the peas!

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Oh, Snowball,

0:02:58 > 0:03:01I'm so glad you're back!

0:03:02 > 0:03:04MUSIC: Blue Danube Waltz

0:03:08 > 0:03:12I'm glad to be back, too, DW. I've missed you.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17It's been a long six months, two weeks and four days. By the way,

0:03:17 > 0:03:22- how DID I get back?- I don't know! Don't YOU?- How would I?

0:03:22 > 0:03:26I don't have eyes or a brain! I'm a snowball.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30But I'll tell you one thing... if somebody took me once,

0:03:30 > 0:03:36- what's to stop them taking me again? - Oh! What do you MEAN?

0:03:36 > 0:03:40Well... LAUGHTER DW...!

0:03:40 > 0:03:42NO!

0:04:12 > 0:04:13OH!

0:04:16 > 0:04:18ALARM CLOCK BEEPS

0:04:19 > 0:04:22- DW?- Huh?

0:04:25 > 0:04:30Well, if it got stolen once, what's to stop it being stolen again?

0:04:30 > 0:04:35- It WASN'T stolen, or you wouldn't have found it!- What does THAT mean?

0:04:35 > 0:04:40I think he's saying it got lost behind that stuff in the freezer.

0:04:40 > 0:04:45- Then, when everything got moved around yesterday...- Arthur!

0:04:45 > 0:04:51- What are you doing?- Clearing my dishes!- A likely story(!)

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Stay right there!

0:04:53 > 0:04:56I can't tell if it's still in here.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04CHAINS RATTLE >

0:05:06 > 0:05:12- DW, what are you doing in there? - Nothing!- DW! What are you doing?!

0:05:12 > 0:05:17- You could hurt yourself!- I have to find out if Arthur took it!

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Oh! It's smaller!

0:05:24 > 0:05:29Here's where your snowball's gonna live from now on, and that's final.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34We can't have you wrecking the kitchen or, worse, hurting yourself.

0:05:34 > 0:05:40Aren't you gonna punish Arthur? He took the outer part of my snowball!

0:05:40 > 0:05:45Arthur didn't take anything. It's just melted from being fussed with,

0:05:45 > 0:05:49AND sitting in an open freezer all night.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56HORSES NEIGH

0:05:56 > 0:05:59Oh! Sorry!

0:05:59 > 0:06:01S-Sorry!

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Sorry!

0:06:02 > 0:06:07DW, maybe it's time to take a little...break.

0:06:07 > 0:06:12- Putting you in the cooler wasn't MY idea.- Maybe if you found out

0:06:12 > 0:06:17who put me in the freezer, you'd know who stole me to begin with!

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Arthur! - HE SHIVERS

0:06:20 > 0:06:25Just the name gives me shivers! But, if you can prove he did it,

0:06:25 > 0:06:30- your mom and dad might keep him from doing any more damage.- Oh, Snowball!

0:06:30 > 0:06:35- That's brilliant!- Watch it! You're melting me!- Sorry.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39- OK, I just have a few questions. - Uh-huh?

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Where were you between six months ago and Mom's party?

0:06:43 > 0:06:47Listening to you whine about your snowball all day.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51Mm-hm...and where did you keep the snowball?

0:06:51 > 0:06:53MOM!

0:06:56 > 0:07:00This isn't gonna be as easy as I thought.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- PHONE RINGS Hello?- 'Hi, it's Arthur.'

0:07:10 > 0:07:15- You have to come to my house right away.- What's wrong with your voice?

0:07:15 > 0:07:19- I have a cold! - SHE COUGHS - See?

0:07:20 > 0:07:26Arthur went to buy medicine. He said to keep you company.

0:07:26 > 0:07:31OK, I need you to use science to figure out who stole this.

0:07:31 > 0:07:33OH!

0:07:33 > 0:07:35It's even smaller!

0:07:35 > 0:07:38I'm sorry, is Arthur coming back?

0:07:38 > 0:07:43What's the problem? Do some experiments! Time is money!

0:07:43 > 0:07:48OK, um...but how can it be stolen if YOU have it?

0:07:48 > 0:07:51It's complicated.

0:07:51 > 0:07:56Could a snowball get lost here for six months, without being smooshed?

0:07:56 > 0:08:01Hmm, an interesting conundrum. Do you have a measuring tape?

0:08:01 > 0:08:04< BANGING

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- DW, what are you doing? - Just straightening up, Mom!

0:08:08 > 0:08:12So, if you multiply X by the width of the freezer squared,

0:08:12 > 0:08:17factoring in the algorithm of the average weight of meats, ice cream

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- and TV dinners... - Would it get smooshed?

0:08:22 > 0:08:28- Yes.- Just as I suspected! This snowball has been somewhere else!

0:08:28 > 0:08:32All right, Brain, science experiment number two!

0:08:33 > 0:08:38OK, here's a list of all possible freezers within a ten-block radius

0:08:38 > 0:08:43where a thief could have stored the snowball for six months,

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- before returning it to your freezer. - Wow!

0:08:46 > 0:08:51- For 1.65, you're a good detective! - For 40c more, I'll do a flow chart!

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Let's see the list.

0:08:54 > 0:08:59Oh! What about just the freezers that ARTHUR could have gotten to?

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Wait a minute!

0:09:02 > 0:09:04What? What?

0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Yes, yes, that's it!- What's it?

0:09:08 > 0:09:12- Ice cream from my mom and dad's ice-cream parlour.- So?

0:09:12 > 0:09:18- I assume this was bought for your mom's birthday party?- Yeah! So?

0:09:18 > 0:09:23- Don't you see? The snowball showed up on the same day! So...- Hi, Brain.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27What are YOU doing here... in our freezer?

0:09:27 > 0:09:32- Oh, I, uh...- He's investigating. - Is this about that stupid snowball?

0:09:32 > 0:09:37Yes. I mean, no! ..You're not sick at all, are you?

0:09:37 > 0:09:42Sick? You realise you've just been fooled by a four-year-old girl?

0:09:42 > 0:09:48Wait! Tell me what the ice cream meant! ..I want my money back!

0:09:48 > 0:09:54- Arthur, you did this ON PURPOSE! - DW, what are you screaming about?

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Nothing!

0:09:56 > 0:09:57Gr-r-r!

0:10:02 > 0:10:06I'm sorry, Snowball. I really tried,

0:10:06 > 0:10:09but Arthur's just too smart for me!

0:10:09 > 0:10:14HIGH VOICE: It's OK. It wouldn't have made any difference.

0:10:14 > 0:10:19- Don't say that! - SHE SOBS Goodbye, DW!

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Oh!

0:10:29 > 0:10:31Goodbye, Snowball!

0:10:33 > 0:10:36- OK, DW, it was me!- OH!- I did it!

0:10:36 > 0:10:42- You did? WHY?!- Well...you've just never stopped talking about it

0:10:42 > 0:10:47since it disappeared, and so when Dad sent me to get ice cream,

0:10:47 > 0:10:51I saw they had a snow-cone machine!

0:10:51 > 0:10:56So I ordered one with no syrup, paid for it with my money,

0:10:56 > 0:11:00and put it in the freezer. I thought you'd be happy!

0:11:00 > 0:11:04Oh. So this wasn't the REAL snowball?

0:11:04 > 0:11:08But...but why did you take it in the first place?

0:11:08 > 0:11:11I TOLD you - I never took it!

0:11:11 > 0:11:14You didn't? Well...then, who did?

0:11:14 > 0:11:19I don't know! Nobody knows! Maybe somebody threw it away by accident.

0:11:19 > 0:11:24Maybe it melted! Can't you forget it? You're making us all crazy!

0:11:24 > 0:11:29How can I just forget it? It was a crime!

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Oh, forget it! I tried.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35Arthur, wait!

0:11:35 > 0:11:40I'm sorry. I guess... I mean, I KNOW you didn't take it.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43But thanks for the fake one.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- It was ALMOST as good.- Sure, DW.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Emily, are you going to the pool?

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Wait for me! I wanna come!

0:12:01 > 0:12:05I hope the two of you have learned what happens

0:12:05 > 0:12:10when you beam down into people's kitchens and take things!

0:12:10 > 0:12:15- I know, Dad. "Don't steal. Blah, blah, blah."- I didn't get my share!

0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Blimpy here had three-quarters of it!- Uh-uh!

0:12:19 > 0:12:25If you kids don't stop arguing, you can forget about the Asteroid Fair!
