0:01:03 > 0:01:05- Hey!- Whoa...!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15HORNS BLAST I'm sure it's just a minor problem.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I'll have us back on the road in no time.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23As far back as I can remember, we've always had the same car...
0:01:23 > 0:01:26HAPPY CHORTLING
0:01:37 > 0:01:40LAUGHTER
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Hey, Pal! Come here, boy! (Where are you?)
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Pal!
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Wow! I guess you could say I grew up in this car.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- HORNS BLAST - Sure hope Dad can fix it.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11LOUD BANGING
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- HISSING - See, the car's sick,
0:02:15 > 0:02:20so we took it to the car doctor. He'll make our car all better.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- This is bad. Very bad... - What's wrong?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30The belt's overloading the transmission and the fuel injection.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Can you fix it? - Can I FIX it? Of course I...can.
0:02:34 > 0:02:40- Well...WILL you? - I dunno. It's a big job.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42How much will it cost?
0:02:42 > 0:02:46First, we got the timing belt... then there's the head gasket, and...
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Oh, yeah, the piston rods... Here you go.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53We'll, um, need to think about it.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Fixing that car will cost more than buying a new one.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03- You mean we're getting a new car?! - No way, DW!- Not a NEW car.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08We can only afford a USED car, but, hey...it'll be new to us.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11A NEW car...
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Arthur? At the next red light, could you bring me more juice?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Mom, can we get a camper? Can we? Can we? Ple-ease...
0:03:24 > 0:03:30DW, we'll have to get something smaller than that. Much smaller...
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Sorry, no room.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44SPLUTTERING
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Ah...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Ay, ay, ay...
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Dad? Aren't you worried some stuff'll spill back there?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58No, DW, I'm not.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05HE SIGHS
0:04:05 > 0:04:07What's gonna happen to our car?
0:04:07 > 0:04:12It's in bad shape. If we can't sell it, we'll give it to the junk yard.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17- The JUNK yard?!- That's what happens when cars don't work any more.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28BARKING
0:04:41 > 0:04:44EVIL LAUGHTER
0:04:44 > 0:04:46NO!!
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Look at the bright side, Arthur.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56You could get an even better car, like mine, for instance.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Come on, Arthur! If we bounce high enough, we can touch the roof.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09EVIL LAUGHTER
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Boys, today is Saturday. Know what people do on Saturday? Buy cars.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Which means on Saturdays, we SELL cars,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26or should I say, ONE of us does.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I made it as easy as I could,
0:05:28 > 0:05:34gave my 20-minute training course, offered fabulous sales incentives.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Can anyone tell me what customer's the best kind of customer?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Dunno.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44The kind that HAS to buy a car... today.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Follow me! Learn from the master.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Rule number one - you're selling a dream.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Well, if it isn't the Reeds! My favourite family!
0:05:56 > 0:06:01David, how are you? ..Jane, it's been too long. And little Kate.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Arthur! In shape for the soccer season.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09- DW, already know which car YOU want, don't you?- You bet I do!
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Ed, the reason we're here... I know why you're here.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15To buy the car of your dreams.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21The only think I don't know is which of these fine cars will that be...
0:06:21 > 0:06:26ALL SHOUT AT ONCE We should've talked about this.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31Let's agree we won't buy a car unless we ALL like it. OK?
0:06:32 > 0:06:38Rule number two, only ONE person decides which car they buy. ME.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44Then we subtract the Special Friends discount, and we get... Bingo!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48How do I make a living offering prices like this?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Yikes!
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Rule number three,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56"Yikes" minus I-K is yes.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- Oh, what's the top of your price range?- A third of THAT.- Follow me.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Pick out the one you love.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Oh, she's special, isn't she?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16These seats aren't as comfy as the ones in our car.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19..You said we ALL had to like it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Sorry, Ed. We'll come back next Saturday and try again.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44For now, we'll use the catering van.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49Rule number four, if you get into trouble, call for help.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- Hi, Arthur. Would you like a ride to school?- Great!- JUST Arthur.
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- So... This is a pretty nice car, don't you think?- I guess.
0:08:05 > 0:08:11Sometimes Dad lets me ride in a car from his lot. Only special cars.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Like this one. Say...
0:08:13 > 0:08:18- isn't your family looking for a new car?- Yes?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Why don't you buy this one? It's perfect. It looks great on you.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- I know what you're up to, Molly. - It's time to let go of the past.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Cars die, cars get replaced. It happens every single day.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38- The Crosswires are here to help. - That car's like one of our family.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40It's a hunk of metal.
0:08:40 > 0:08:46Come on, Arthur! You LOVE this car. This car will make you popular.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Pull over.- You'll be sorry, Arthur!
0:08:50 > 0:08:52This baby won't be around for long.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I can take it off your hands for... 200.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03200?! Gee, I was sure I could get more than...
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Nobody's gonna buy it in this condition. I'll sell it for scrap.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09..Well, OK...
0:09:09 > 0:09:13200. I'll be by to pick it up tomorrow.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- What's wrong, Arthur? - Dad sold the car to the mechanic.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22He'll collect it tomorrow, sell it to the junk yard.
0:09:22 > 0:09:28- You know what my mom says when I feel like you do?- What?
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- "When one door closes, another door opens."- What does that mean?
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Dunno. It never makes ME feel any better.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41SPLUTTERING What's that noise?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44If I knew, I could save the car.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- Hey! I know who can tell us what's making that sound!- Who?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51You'll find out soon enough.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Meet you here tomorrow morning. Bring a radio, a telephone
0:09:55 > 0:09:58and fresh drinking water with lemon.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- ENGAGED TONE - I can't get through.- Keep trying.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- 'Hello, you're on Car Talk.'- Really? I AM?
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- 'Course. You didn't call for pizza, huh?'- I'm Arthur, from Elmwood City.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20We drove through there once. There was a place called the Sugar Bowl.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- They made GREAT chocolate malted milkshakes.- I remember! What's up?
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- You sound young to be driving.- The family car makes this funny noise.
0:10:30 > 0:10:37- If I don't find out why, it goes to the junk yard.- We'd a '51 Dodge.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41With a trunk that you could fit an elephant in. I remember!
0:10:41 > 0:10:47- You ran out of oil and ruined it. - You never forget the first one!
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- What kind of a sound is the car making?- Do the sound! Do the sound!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Um, i-it's kind of like this...
0:10:55 > 0:11:00Cank-c-c-cank...c-cank... ..Oh! The mechanic!
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It goes, "Oh! The mechanic"? What a car(!)
0:11:03 > 0:11:05No, the mechanic is outside.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- To take the car to the junk yard! - Mechanic? House calls? Sounds bad.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15From the sound you're making, I can't tell what's wrong with it.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Let ME try. SPLUTTERS LIKE CAR
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- I've always wanted to do that. - 'Ah! It sounds like a rattle.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- 'I think you have a rattle in the exhaust system.'- Dad! Wait!
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- I'm on the phone with the Car Talk guys.- The...Car Talk guys?!
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- They said it's some kind of rattle in the exhaust system!- 'No!
0:11:37 > 0:11:41'You HAVE a rattle in the exhaust system.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46- 'The things babies play with. Check the tail pipe.'- Check the pipe.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Check the tail pipe!- The tail pipe?
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- Yours doesn't have one. - In the back, below the trunk.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Well...I suppose that COULD be the source of your problem.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Mysterious things, cars.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Here, why don't you hold onto this for now?
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Arthur, you saved us lots of money. You deserve a reward.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17What'll it be? Pizza? Ice cream?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20How about we just go for a drive?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23HAPPY GURGLING
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Everything OK, back there? - Yeah, Mom.
