0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Hey!- Waugh!
0:01:10 > 0:01:15'I remember like it was yesterday. I was in a good mood that morning
0:01:15 > 0:01:19'because the day before I'd received a postcard
0:01:19 > 0:01:23'from my friend Carlos in Cochabamba, Bolivia.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27'It was a beautiful day. I remember that, too.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31'Just a beautiful, normal day in early spring.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36'Who would have thought that this day would change so many people?'
0:01:36 > 0:01:40April 9th? Oh, no!
0:01:40 > 0:01:46I completely forgot. I have to cater a breakfast at Arthur's school.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51- Can I go with you in the van?- Mom! Arthur's crazy dog's staring at me!
0:01:51 > 0:01:55You're eating slowly. You're teasing him.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Bye-bye, Daddy!
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Have a great day.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Hey! >
0:02:21 > 0:02:24SNORING
0:02:24 > 0:02:30ALL TALK All right, class. I have the results of yesterday's vocabulary quiz.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Not bad overall, or should I say
0:02:33 > 0:02:39passable - which was a word most of you got wrong. HE SNIFFS
0:02:39 > 0:02:44What's that smell? ALARM RINGS
0:02:44 > 0:02:49Children, remain calm. Form a line at the front.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53OK, class, follow me. Don't run.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Stay in line,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Sue Ellen.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Come along, Binky.
0:03:18 > 0:03:23We'll send someone around to go in the side door.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Is Mr Morris gonna be OK?
0:03:29 > 0:03:34He'll be fine. He just injured his leg. He was lucky.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37My dad's in there. He needs help.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39My crew is looking for him.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45- They're gonna get him out.- Can I see him?- Stop! It's not safe to go in.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52My journal! Oh!
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Dad!
0:04:03 > 0:04:05What's going on?
0:04:05 > 0:04:10There was a fire. Our classroom was badly damaged.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12A fire in the school?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Aw, it's not fair!
0:04:15 > 0:04:21- It'll be all right, Buster.- The biggest event of the year happened
0:04:21 > 0:04:24and I slept through the whole thing!
0:04:24 > 0:04:29We were in that classroom just yesterday, and now it's all burnt.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Going to school at Mighty Mountain.
0:04:31 > 0:04:38- Those kids are huge.- I'm happy Dad got out OK. He could've been hurt.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Yep. Those flames were spreading fast.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- You saw the flames?- No way!
0:04:45 > 0:04:50- What did they look like?- It was no big deal.- Weren't you scared?- Nah.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Takes more than a fire to scare me.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57You must have been a little scared.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Nope.- Wow!
0:04:59 > 0:05:04I would be, with all that black smoke and the suffocating heat.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09Knock it off! I said I wasn't afraid. End of conversation.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12What's gotten into him?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15He usually just takes the top scoop.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19SNIFFLING Why is she upset? It's a journal. >
0:05:19 > 0:05:22You can buy them at any store.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- She's had it since first grade. - I've kept a cupcake
0:05:26 > 0:05:31since first grade. Well, half a cupcake. I ate some last week.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35You know what? The icing was still soft.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38SCREAM
0:05:38 > 0:05:41AUDIENCE LAUGHTER
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Here, honey. Some oatmeal cookies.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- I just baked them.- Thanks, Mom.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51'Fear not, little girl.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- 'Your kitten is safe.' - Cool! Bionic Bunny.
0:05:56 > 0:06:02'Oh, thank you! I don't know what I'd have done if I'd lost Fireball.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05'Hmm, Fireball. Fireball.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10'Where have I heard that name before? I've got it!
0:06:10 > 0:06:15'It's the name of the cat of my old arch-villain, the Hothead.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17'What a coincidence. Wait!
0:06:17 > 0:06:24- 'That's no coincidence.- Yeah, my long-eared friend. We meet again!'
0:06:24 > 0:06:27BIONIC BUNNY GASPS
0:06:27 > 0:06:32'Is it getting hot in here, or is it just you?'
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Binky, I thought you might like some...
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Hey! You can't pick on George. He's in MY class.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Only I can pick on him.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Thanks.
0:06:50 > 0:06:56- I'd have wrapped it but I couldn't find paper that matched.- What is it?
0:06:56 > 0:07:00A new journal - with a faux velvet cover.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05You seemed upset. I thought this would cheer you up.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Thanks, but I don't want it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13You don't want it? Why? This is much nicer than that ratty thing you had.
0:07:13 > 0:07:19That "ratty thing" I had was filled with stuff that can't be replaced.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22But thanks for the thought, Muffy.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27This wasn't cheap, you know! Eight dollars! And it was on sale!
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Smoke everywhere. You could hardly see your hands.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36The whole wall burst into flames.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- I ran as hard as I could...- Buster,
0:07:39 > 0:07:44- what are you talking about? You weren't even there.- Erm...OK.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49I wasn't there. But these are true accounts told to me by witnesses.
0:07:49 > 0:07:56- No, they aren't. Don't listen to a word. He made it all up.- Aw, man!
0:07:56 > 0:08:01What did you do that for? They were really enjoying the story.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04It's not a story. It happened.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09- Do you realise my dad could have been really hurt in that fire?- Oh.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14I guess I never thought of it that way. How about I just tell the part
0:08:14 > 0:08:19where the firefighters used axes to chop through the doors...?
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Do whatever you want. I don't care.
0:08:22 > 0:08:28Mom, how come I don't feel as upset as the other kids about the fire?
0:08:28 > 0:08:33It might be because you weren't actually there. It's OK, Buster.
0:08:33 > 0:08:39- There's no one way you have to feel.- I just wish I felt something.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- It takes some people longer than others to feel upset.- Really? Days?
0:08:44 > 0:08:50I hope I don't get upset tomorrow. There's a Bionic Bunny Special.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55I don't know how long it'll take, but tape that special.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58There's something I want you to do.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Good night, Arthur.- Night, Dad.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Where's your next catering job? - At the aquarium.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Convention of fishermen.- Aquarium?
0:09:09 > 0:09:15- Good. I was worried it might be at another school.- Schools are safe.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17It was just some faulty wiring.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23I know, but I'm still happy you're not going to a school. Good night.
0:09:27 > 0:09:34- And this one's from a moray eel. - 18 stitches from that vicious cod.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I have a minnow bite.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Aye, Read. Any more of them crab cakes?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Coming right up.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53SPLASH Help! Somebody!
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Come on, the squid! Go, mammal!
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Hey, that's my dad! Help him!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Dad!- Lad, I can't let you go in there.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09It's too dangerous.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Oh, no.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17CHIRPING Good morning,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Mr Morris. I'm Buster Baxter, and I'm here
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- to see how you are.- You a doctor?
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Um...no. I'm a third-grader from Lakewood Elementary School.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33They say to go easy on the sweets.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38But the Crosswire kid sent me boxes of truffles. Take your coat off.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Make yourself comfortable.
0:10:40 > 0:10:45Thanks, but I've gotta meet someone. I brought these.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- They're from my mom.- Oh, OK.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- COUGHING - Tell her, "Thanks."
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Hey, I have asthma, too.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58See?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Hey, I like your colour choice.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06Do you also have allergies? I've got pollen, dander and peanuts.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12But not chocolate, thank goodness. Here. Have as many as you like.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15Mmm!
0:11:16 > 0:11:20I guess I can be a little late.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26Mr Morris plays the accordion and speaks Portuguese
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- and worked as a dog groomer once. - He sounds interesting. - YAWN
0:11:31 > 0:11:36- You don't sound too interested. - Sorry, Buster. I'm just tired.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I had a nightmare last night.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Did you have pepperoni before bed?
0:11:42 > 0:11:47- If I eat pepperoni, I dream penguins are after me.- I don't believe it.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51You even beat us at thumb wrestling. Best of seven.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54You're going to love this one.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59- I had it personalised for you. - "Property of Sue Ellen."- It's bound
0:11:59 > 0:12:04in genuine imitation suede. Wait. Don't thank me yet.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08It also comes with this stunning pen.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Thank you, Muffy.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13I feel so much better now.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24- A test?- Well, at least some things never change.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28FIRE ALARM RINGS
0:12:31 > 0:12:33I just overheard.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- It's a false alarm.- A false alarm?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40I still haven't been through a fire.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- What rotten luck.- That's GOOD luck.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- Not for the person who pulled the alarm.- Someone pulled the alarm?
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- Who would do a thing like that? - Did you see those dweebs run?
0:12:53 > 0:12:57What a bunch of scaredy-cats.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01I was impressed with the firefighters.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Only took them three minutes and 29 seconds to get here. They're fast.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09What?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- You don't think I...?- Ahem! >
0:13:12 > 0:13:17Is this your knapsack? It was found beneath the fire alarm.
0:13:19 > 0:13:25"What I did was dumb. It was mean to all the Mighty Mountain kids
0:13:25 > 0:13:28"who've been nice to me. I'm sorry.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32"I'll never pull the fire alarm again.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- "The end."- I'm glad you understand the seriousness.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41But I admit I'm still baffled. Why did you do it?
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- I don't know. - Talk to the school counsellor.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49I said I was sorry. Can't you just punish me?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Normally you'd be suspended for it.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57But because of the circumstances, I have something else in mind.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03Bottles and cans in the blue bags. Everything else in the green bags.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Find any change, it's yours.- Rimsky!
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- You missed a spot!- Which one of you is gonna help us pick this stuff up?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Firefighters!- How do you know them?
0:14:17 > 0:14:23- I was a volunteer firefighter. - Really? So did you ever see a fire?
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Oh, yeah. Being close to flames is scary stuff.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- You know all about that.- I don't.
0:14:31 > 0:14:37- I mean, yeah, I guess I was pretty close, but I wasn't afraid.- OK.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42We're supposed to put the cans into the bag, Binky, not take them out.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Oh. Heh-heh...
0:14:45 > 0:14:50'I'll never forget that day. I was grooming Cookie,
0:14:50 > 0:14:55'a temperamental shih-tzu with a shot at gold.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59'When all of a sudden, it happened.'
0:15:00 > 0:15:02BARKING
0:15:11 > 0:15:13What in tarnation...?
0:15:13 > 0:15:18'There were 13 perfect circles in that cornfield -
0:15:18 > 0:15:21'every one the exact same size.'
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- I reckon there was only one thing that could've made them.- Aliens?
0:15:26 > 0:15:32Yep. Either that or a farmer with a tractor that only made right turns.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35But I think it was the aliens.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Wow!
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Ready for another cream soda?- OK.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I can get it. Why don't you sit?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49No. I have to get used to crutches.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I'll be on them for a while.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55I knew a kid with a broken leg. He got his cast off in three weeks.
0:15:55 > 0:16:02Cos he was young. When you break something at my age, it's serious.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07In fact, I don't think this leg is ever going to be the same.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13BABY-TALK
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I got the prize!
0:16:15 > 0:16:21You took twice as much cereal than me. Half of that prize is mine.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Arthur, share the prize.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- I can't. It's a sticker. - It's April 16th! Oh, no!
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- The aquarium luncheon! - Sure we can share it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Here's YOUR half.
0:16:37 > 0:16:43Dad, I don't feel well. I don't think I can go to school.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46You're not that hot.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51But my throat is killing me. I can barely talk.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53I need some of your chicken soup.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57I'll make it as soon as I get home.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01What if you don't come home? What if something happens...
0:17:01 > 0:17:04at the aquarium?
0:17:04 > 0:17:10Arthur, nothing's going to happen to me. Why would you think...? Oh!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Are you worried because of the fire?
0:17:13 > 0:17:19When I was your age, Grandma was in a car accident. She wasn't hurt.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24But for weeks after I was worried whenever she set foot in a car.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26'Even when she went to the store
0:17:26 > 0:17:30'I was afraid she'd be in an accident.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35'While I waited, I'd shoot crumpled balls of paper into the basket.
0:17:35 > 0:17:41'I thought if I made more baskets than I missed, she'd be safe.'
0:17:45 > 0:17:50It seemed to work. Of course, I was a pretty good shot.
0:17:50 > 0:17:57One day, I forgot. She was gone for hours. I didn't shoot one basket.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- And you know what happened?- What? - She came home just fine.
0:18:02 > 0:18:07It's my job to worry about you, Arthur. Not the other way around.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Help me bring these to the van.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15"I have
0:18:15 > 0:18:18"nothing to say."
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Tell your readers to keep the bathrooms extra clean.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Mr Morris' leg isn't healed. I don't want him to work hard.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03Sue Ellen, how does it feel to be back at Lakewood?
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Great! Look what I found.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10It's a llama. It's part of a postcard that was in my journal.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14"Diary doomed but llama lives."
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Binky, I'm running a piece on what it's like to be back. Any thoughts?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- No comment.- Can I take a picture?
0:19:22 > 0:19:27No pictures either! I'm having a bad hair day.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I like this new couch. So springy.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42BINKY GASPS FOR BREATH
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Binky, are you OK?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50SNIFFLING
0:19:50 > 0:19:55I appreciate your dedication, Binky, but shouldn't you be in school?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I can't go back there. I can't.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02I keep on seeing flames and smoke and...
0:20:02 > 0:20:05It's OK, Binky. I know how you feel.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- You do?- Sure I do.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12When I saw my first fire, I had trouble sleeping.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15After a time I didn't feel scared.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20- Why not?- I did what we're doing - talking about it.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Don't you feel better now you've told someone how you feel?
0:20:24 > 0:20:29Yeah... But I still don't want to go back to school.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33I'll let them know where you are.
0:20:33 > 0:20:39You can do the rounds with me. After that we'll see how you feel. Good?
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Can I operate the crusher? - Only if you join the union.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48Cake in the middle of math class? This has never happened before.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Not even a quiz on the ingredients.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Can I have a slice for Mr Morris?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Mr Morris isn't in today. He's not coming back.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Not coming back? Yes, he's retiring.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Have two slices. Save you the trip for seconds.
0:21:11 > 0:21:17Careful with that one. My zydeco records are in it.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Hey, it's Buster. Come on in.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23There's a couple of cream sodas in the fridge.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29- Are you going on a vacation?- You could say that - a long vacation.
0:21:29 > 0:21:36- I'm moving in with my daughter in New Mexico.- Don't you like it here?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Sure, but it's time to move on. I've always had itchy feet.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- There's a powder for that. - Just a figure of speech.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48It means you don't like to stay in one place too long.
0:21:48 > 0:21:55I love living here, but I'm going to need someone to look after me.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I could do that. I'd look after you.
0:21:57 > 0:22:04I appreciate it, but my daughter's better suited. There is something.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Her name's Beatrice.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11My daughter never cared for it.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16- I'd like to know she was in good hands.- Wow! This is beautiful!
0:22:16 > 0:22:19I'll take really good care of her.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Bring her when you visit me in New Mexico.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28Roswell's down there, amigo. That's the capital of alien sightings.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35PHONE RINGS 'Do you read me?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- 'Come in, Arthur.'- Hey, Buster.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43- What are you doing?- Waiting for my dad. He's catering a birthday.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48- It's 9.30. How much cake can those people eat?- He'll be fine.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- Why are you still awake? - I was thinking about Mr Morris.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58I miss him. He'd still be here if it wasn't for that stupid fire.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02But you two might not be friends. You met because of that fire.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07That's true. You wanna hear me play Clementine?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Phew! He's home.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14Oh. You probably want to say hi to him. Well, good night.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19..Wait, Buster. Why don't you play Clementine for me?
0:23:19 > 0:23:23HE PLAYS "MY DARLING CLEMENTINE"
0:23:23 > 0:23:28'This Friday, it will be one month since April 9th.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31'So much has happened since then.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34'I never want to see another fire,
0:23:34 > 0:23:39'but I also never want to lose this feeling - that each day is special,
0:23:39 > 0:23:44'that my friends are the best friends in the world
0:23:44 > 0:23:49'and that if we stick together we can make it through anything.'
