TURKISH MUSIC

0:01:070:01:10

Adil! HE CONTINUES IN TURKISH

0:01:180:01:21

ADIL SPEAKS IN TURKISH

0:01:210:01:24

Oh, hello. You might not understand Turkish, so I'll speak in English.

0:01:260:01:31

-That's my father. And that's our store behind him.

-Hello.

0:01:310:01:35

Welcome. Have a good day.

0:01:350:01:38

Please, come in.

0:01:380:01:40

Hi, I'm Unver - Adil's best friend.

0:01:410:01:44

But not for long.

0:01:440:01:46

Unver didn't do his maths homework.

0:01:460:01:49

He thinks our teacher, Mr Yuksal, will throw into the Sea of Marmara.

0:01:490:01:53

And I can't even swim!

0:01:530:01:55

-Adil!

-SHE SHOUTS IN TURKISH

0:01:550:01:58

Pay no attention to her. She's not supposed to be here.

0:01:580:02:03

Look! Adil's little lambie!

0:02:030:02:06

-He-he-he-he!

-Ayse!

0:02:060:02:08

OK. I admit it - she's my little sister.

0:02:080:02:11

But I'm not talking about the stuffed lamb!

0:02:110:02:14

Whenever Ayse drive me crazy, there's only one person I talk to.

0:02:140:02:20

Adil! Ask him if his friend, The Head, knows the answers to

0:02:210:02:25

-numbers five, seven and nine.

-Unver, The Head's not his name!

0:02:250:02:29

Woof!

0:02:340:02:36

Hey!

0:02:360:02:39

Any sign of my olive depitter yet?

0:02:390:02:42

-No!

-Great(!) This tapenade will take me hours to make!

0:02:420:02:47

..But I did find these letters. Cool stamps!

0:02:470:02:50

Who are they from? Arthur's REAL parents?

0:02:510:02:55

They're from Tatsuo Matsumoto.

0:02:550:02:58

He was a pen pal from Japan I wrote to during the 7th Grade.

0:02:580:03:01

I remember this one! Tatsuo got lost in Kyoto at the O-bon Festival.

0:03:020:03:08

Ha-ha! I forgot how much I enjoyed corresponding with Tatsuo.

0:03:080:03:13

Can I read them?

0:03:130:03:15

Uh-oh!

0:03:170:03:18

I found it!

0:03:180:03:20

Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

0:03:220:03:25

-Mr Ratburn...

-ARTHUR COUGHS

0:03:290:03:33

-Do you know how I can get a pen pal?

-Pen pal? Yes, of course.

0:03:330:03:37

I just recently earmarked a web spot that facilitates such things.

0:03:370:03:43

Now, where's the switch?

0:03:440:03:46

PRINTER WHIRRS

0:03:470:03:49

Adil Akyuz. Eight-years-old, from Turkey.

0:03:500:03:54

Buster, do you know anything about Turkey?

0:03:540:03:57

Sure, there's honey-glazed turkey and smoked turkey.

0:03:570:04:01

And my favourite...

0:04:010:04:03

Roast turkey!

0:04:030:04:05

Oh, this is from my very first Thanksgiving. You wanna hold it?

0:04:050:04:10

No. Ah! I'm talking about the country.

0:04:100:04:13

Oh. Hey, I know a lot about that too!

0:04:130:04:17

That's where Illinois Jack And The Caravan Of Horrors takes place.

0:04:170:04:21

Illinois Jack has a cool Turkish friend in it called Mustafa.

0:04:210:04:26

This is when Mustafa and Illy get chased through the covered bazaar.

0:04:260:04:31

-Just a bit longer, buddy.

-Illy, the Caliph's iron camel's gaining on us!

0:04:310:04:37

..And then, Mustafa saves him from a pit of man-eating newts.

0:04:370:04:42

I will not let you die, Illy! AH!

0:04:420:04:45

..And then... Ho-ho! This is my favourite part... The banquet!

0:04:460:04:51

Lamb's eyes, Illy?

0:04:510:04:53

Write to that Turkish kid, Arthur. I bet he's exciting.

0:04:560:05:00

'..And then I had pepperoni pizza with my friend Buster at the Mall.'

0:05:020:05:07

-What's...pepperoni?

-I don't know. What's a mall?

0:05:070:05:12

'That was my day. Please tell me about your day, and life in Turkey.

0:05:130:05:18

'Sincerely, Arthur Read.'

0:05:180:05:21

..On weekends, Adil works in his father's grocery store.

0:05:240:05:28

They sell all sorts of cool things like spices and lamb's eyes...!

0:05:280:05:32

They sell lamb's eyes in the grocery store?

0:05:320:05:36

He didn't say that, but in The Caravan Of Horrors they eat them!

0:05:360:05:41

You've left out the best part - he has a little sister.

0:05:410:05:45

Arthur's going to ask her to get me a Mary Moocow CD in Turkish.

0:05:450:05:49

DW, they don't have Mary Moocow in Turkey.

0:05:490:05:52

-How do you know?

-Did Adil like your letter?

0:05:520:05:55

-Well, he said he liked it, but...

-But what?

-I don't know...

0:05:550:06:00

Maybe he was being polite. My letter was dull compared to his.

0:06:000:06:04

-I'm sure that isn't the case, Arthur.

-Yes, it is!

0:06:040:06:08

Arthur read me part of it and I fell asleep.

0:06:080:06:11

That letter was like warm milk.

0:06:110:06:14

Dear Adil. Thank you for your interesting letter.

0:06:160:06:19

These are some exciting things that happened this week...

0:06:190:06:23

"I got an A-minus for math and I went to the Sugar Bowl with...

0:06:230:06:28

"..Buster and..."

0:06:290:06:31

Can't...stay...awake...

0:06:310:06:33

Zzzzzzz.

0:06:330:06:36

Adil!

0:06:360:06:37

What is wrong?

0:06:370:06:39

"..And Francine told a really funny joke...

0:06:390:06:43

"What do you get when you cross a...?"

0:06:430:06:46

Zzzzzz...

0:06:460:06:48

SNORING GETS LOUDER

0:06:510:06:54

Ah! This is even putting ME to sleep. Oh, well, maybe tomorrow

0:06:590:07:03

something exciting will happen.

0:07:030:07:06

..And number five dribbles down the field. He cuts left, he cuts right.

0:07:060:07:11

The goal's open. He shoots...

0:07:110:07:13

-Hey, you're not shooting.

-Oh, sorry, Buster.

0:07:140:07:18

I'm wondering what to write to Adil.

0:07:180:07:20

-Even less happened today than yesterday!

-Speak for yourself.

0:07:200:07:25

-I've eaten 27 cherries! That's my record.

-Can I use that?

0:07:250:07:29

Sure. Didn't Adil ask you lots of questions in his letter?

0:07:290:07:34

I answered them...

0:07:340:07:36

They sound boring. Maybe I should leave them out.

0:07:410:07:45

-Pepperoni's NOT boring!

-Oh...

0:07:450:07:49

You should ask him more questions about Turkey.

0:07:490:07:52

It's such an exciting place. Take Illinois Jack for inspiration.

0:07:520:07:56

'Dear Adil. What is your school like? How do you get there?'

0:07:570:08:02

I wonder if he rides a camel to school like Illy's friend, Mustafa.

0:08:030:08:08

See you at recess, boy.

0:08:190:08:22

Wow! Wish I had a camel!

0:08:240:08:27

"Does you camel have its own tent, or does it sleep in yours?"

0:08:300:08:34

-I don't have a camel!

-Neither do I!

0:08:340:08:36

I don't even know anyone who has! Why does he think you have a camel?

0:08:360:08:41

"What's your favourite food?"

0:08:420:08:44

"Please describe the taste of... Lamb's eyes!"

0:08:440:08:48

-YEUCH! You never told me you ate a lamb's eye!

-I haven't.

0:08:480:08:52

-Where does Arthur get these ideas?

-What will you write back?

0:08:520:08:56

I don't know!

0:08:560:08:58

-Anything from...?

-Sorry, Arthur.

0:09:030:09:06

Oh...!

0:09:110:09:13

-SOMEONE WHISTLES

-Hi, Mr Higgins. Anything for...?

0:09:150:09:18

Hey, is that an Illinois Jack comic?

0:09:200:09:23

-Yes, I borrowed it from Buster.

-Ha-ha! They're so funny.

0:09:230:09:28

-Funny?

-Yeah, they always get everything wrong.

0:09:280:09:31

Like, when Illy went to Ecuador, he found a golden Mayan temple. Ha!

0:09:310:09:36

-The Maya were from Mexico!

-Oh! I thought the comic was accurate.

0:09:360:09:40

No. It's like the American TV shows I watched as a kid, in Ecuador.

0:09:400:09:45

I thought every kid in the US went surfing after school.

0:09:450:09:50

And then home to their skyscrapers, and put ketchup on all their food.

0:09:500:09:55

Yup. You'd have a weird impression of a place

0:09:550:09:58

if all you knew of it came from TV and comics.

0:09:580:10:01

So that's why he hasn't written back for 3 weeks.

0:10:030:10:07

I offended him with my questions.

0:10:070:10:09

Maybe I should get an American pen pal.

0:10:090:10:13

Why don't you explain what happened?

0:10:130:10:16

Well, I'm kind of embarrassed.

0:10:160:10:18

Try again. It's not easy making friends in other cultures,

0:10:180:10:22

but trust me - it's worth it!

0:10:220:10:25

What a minute! Adil has an e-mail address...?

0:10:260:10:30

"Dear Adil. Just wondering if you got my letters.

0:10:320:10:35

"PS - I didn't know you had e-mail!

0:10:350:10:38

"How do you plug your computer in?"

0:10:380:10:41

Dear Arthur. I plug my computer into the wall of OUR apartment.

0:10:410:10:46

-"I don't live in a tent."

-"Oh, sorry.

0:10:460:10:50

"I read this comic and it gave me weird ideas about how you live.

0:10:500:10:54

"Is that why you didn't write back?"

0:10:540:10:57

"Yes. I was going to correct you, but it would take forever.

0:10:570:11:01

"Then you didn't answer any of my questions."

0:11:010:11:04

"That's because my answers sounded boring.

0:11:040:11:07

"A mall's just a big store with little stores in it."

0:11:070:11:11

So that's what it is!

0:11:110:11:13

'We have lots of those. The biggest and oldest is the Capali Carsi -

0:11:130:11:18

'The Covered Bazaar in English.'

0:11:180:11:20

Really?! Hey, I sort of live near a covered bazaar.

0:11:200:11:25

Are you playing Virtual Goose? The answer's D - Do the Hokey-Pokey.

0:11:250:11:30

DW, go away!

0:11:300:11:32

I'm writing to someone!

0:11:320:11:34

Hokey-Pokey! Hokey-Pokey!

0:11:340:11:36

-'Are you still there?'

-'Sorry, my pesky sister interrupted me.'

0:11:360:11:42

'Ayse does that, and always when I REALLY don't want disturbed.

0:11:440:11:48

-'How does she know?'

-'Adil, we have more in common than I imagined.

0:11:480:11:54

Well, did he reach The Head?

0:11:540:11:57

School's in 20 minutes.

0:11:570:12:00

Arthur's friend's name is Brain, and no, he can't call him now,

0:12:000:12:03

-it's late at night in Elwood City.

-Oh!

0:12:030:12:07

Well, what did you talk about?

0:12:070:12:09

-He was mad at me.

-Why?

0:12:090:12:11

I found the Mary Moocow CD for DW.

0:12:110:12:14

DW SINGS IN TURKISH

0:12:160:12:19

DW, GO TO SLEEP!

0:12:220:12:25

-AHH!

-DW CONTINUES SINGING
