0:00:59 > 0:01:02Hey, DW!

0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Hey!- Whoa!

0:01:07 > 0:01:11"Wow! Is this where you live, Polly?"

0:01:11 > 0:01:17"Yeah. I just had it renovated. Isn't it groovy?" "I'll say!"

0:01:17 > 0:01:21"Wanna dance?" "Sure!

0:01:21 > 0:01:26"I wish I had a place as nice as this.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30"I sleep in that trailer." "Eew! It's so cheap.

0:01:30 > 0:01:35"I'm sure Muffy will make you your own house some day."

0:01:35 > 0:01:40A beautiful little beach house. With real sand and a pool.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45Time to go to the art opening.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49Do I have to go, Daddy? They are so boring.

0:01:49 > 0:01:54Come on, Muffin. A little high culture never hurt anyone.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56And art can be a great investment.

0:01:56 > 0:02:02So are diamonds. Can we go to the jewellery store instead?

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Don't worry, Paradise Polly.

0:02:05 > 0:02:10When I come back, I'm making you that beach house.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Muffy's Art Attack!

0:02:19 > 0:02:24You see? Arthur Ganson makes kinetic sculptures.

0:02:24 > 0:02:30They're works of art that move and do things. They're ingenious.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Daddy, it's a chair(!)- Just wait.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36MUFFY YAWNS

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Ohhh!

0:02:41 > 0:02:47- See? How'd you like that? - Um, yeah. That was great. I guess.

0:02:48 > 0:02:53- I wonder what it's going to do. - My feet hurt.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57- How much longer must we stay here? - See that?!

0:02:57 > 0:03:03- That little machine just flipped the chair!- Oh? Did it?

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Oh, look! Cheese!

0:03:05 > 0:03:09What?! No brie?

0:03:09 > 0:03:15- Hey, Muffy! Aren't these sculptures great?- All I've seen are chairs.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Big deal.

0:03:17 > 0:03:23- Ooh! I love this colour! - Have you seen Machine With Oil?

0:03:23 > 0:03:29- Is it like salad with oil? I saw that at lunch.- Come on. It's cool.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36This blue is like...the ocean!

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Or like tropical sky.

0:03:40 > 0:03:46Muffy, where's my beach house? I want my beach house!

0:03:48 > 0:03:55- Aah! My dress!- Isn't it funny? Like the machine is taking a bath.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57It isn't funny. It's dumb!

0:03:57 > 0:04:03- And messy!- I guess some people just can't appreciate great art.

0:04:03 > 0:04:08Great art? This isn't great art. It's just junk!

0:04:08 > 0:04:11I'd know great art if I saw it.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14I have impeccable taste.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20Guess what. I've decided to buy this one from Mr Ganson here.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23It's called Machine With Wishbone.

0:04:23 > 0:04:29Excellent choice, Ed. It brings to mind the works of Samuel Beckett -

0:04:29 > 0:04:35- that tiny figure forever yoked to its burden of absurdity.- Funny!

0:04:35 > 0:04:39Glad you like it, Ed. I'll install it Monday.

0:04:39 > 0:04:44I wish it was going to be in my house. Some people get all the luck.

0:04:44 > 0:04:49I could make something more beautiful with my eyes closed.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Really(?) I'd like to see that.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Well, you will.

0:04:55 > 0:05:00One for you, one for you and one for you.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03You're all invited to my art show.

0:05:03 > 0:05:08"If you liked Ganson, you'll love Crosswire."

0:05:08 > 0:05:11You make kinetic sculptures?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13For how long?

0:05:13 > 0:05:16The invitations were the hard part.

0:05:16 > 0:05:22I'll do the sculptures this weekend.

0:05:37 > 0:05:41OK, first arrange everything by colour.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45Miss Muffy, to make kinetic sculptures,

0:05:45 > 0:05:50- might I suggest you think about what you want them to do?- Oh.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53I guess you're right.

0:05:56 > 0:06:01There. My first piece. I'll call it Rolling Can.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05It has a childlike whimsy. Very nice.

0:06:05 > 0:06:11Yeah, but all the sculptures at the art opening did something.

0:06:11 > 0:06:17Perhaps if it rolled down a ramp and set off a chain reaction.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Hey! That's a great idea!

0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Ready, Miss Muffy?- Ready!

0:06:26 > 0:06:31- Aah!- It worked! It actually worked!

0:06:31 > 0:06:37No! It ruined my new overalls, just like that messy oil machine.

0:06:37 > 0:06:42Hmm. You mean it's a little too much like Ganson's work? You're right.

0:06:42 > 0:06:48- We need something all our own. - I need a change of clothes.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Bailey, mind if I take a break?

0:06:58 > 0:07:04- There's something I have to do. - Of course. I will attend to...this.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09OK, Paradise, let's get to work.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Now, my concept is this...

0:07:25 > 0:07:28Wrong!

0:07:34 > 0:07:39Sweetums, I invited Arthur Ganson to your art show tomorrow.

0:07:39 > 0:07:46- I hope you don't mind.- Tomorrow?! - So says the invitation.- I forgot!

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Bailey! Bailey!

0:07:53 > 0:08:00- Uh, yes?- We have to get to work! My art show is tomorrow!

0:08:00 > 0:08:06No need to worry. I made a few pieces to supplement your sculpture.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18- You did all this? - Um...yes.

0:08:18 > 0:08:23They don't move, so technically they are not kinetic,

0:08:23 > 0:08:26but they are interactive.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30Pleased to meet you. HONK!

0:08:32 > 0:08:39- What's this one called?- Chester. After a boy who used to tease me.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43CRAZY LAUGHTER

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Oooh, he's kind of scary.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49So is the real Chester.

0:08:49 > 0:08:55- I never knew you were so talented. - So...you like them?

0:08:55 > 0:09:00I'm not sure "like" is the right word. They are very interesting.

0:09:00 > 0:09:06We have some important decisions to make, like what to serve.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Cheese is so overdone!

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Muffy, how did you make this?!

0:09:17 > 0:09:22- Bailey actually put it all together.- But it was your idea?

0:09:22 > 0:09:27You're not taking credit for someone else's work?

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Uh...the hors d'oeuvres are ready.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33You MUST try one of these.

0:09:33 > 0:09:38It's not a stuffed mushroom cap - it's a beret!

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Pretty cute, huh?

0:09:45 > 0:09:48This one is too sinister!

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Philistine!

0:09:56 > 0:10:02This one is called Chester. He's a boy who teased me in fourth grade.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06- You're not in fourth grade yet! - Oh. Um...

0:10:06 > 0:10:11It was meant to be called Binky. That's a typo.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Muffy, I owe you an apology.

0:10:13 > 0:10:18These sculptures are amazing. You're so creative!

0:10:18 > 0:10:23She's a creative liar! She's being a credit hog again!

0:10:23 > 0:10:27- What? - Admit it! Bailey made them all!

0:10:27 > 0:10:34- No! He didn't! I made...one. - Where is it?- Over there.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38It's called Rolling Can. And it's kinetic.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Aah!- Nice try, Muffy.

0:10:48 > 0:10:53- Well, THAT was a failure. - Indeed, Miss Muffy.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57No, a lot of people really liked your sculptures.

0:10:57 > 0:11:03Only the kids. If I had just had more time.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05SNARL >

0:11:05 > 0:11:10- Oh, this is powerful. - You really think so?- I do.

0:11:10 > 0:11:15- It evokes the danger and humour in everyday objects.- Exactly!

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Thank you, Mr Ganson!

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Sorry I couldn't be here earlier.

0:11:21 > 0:11:27- That's a pretty wild piece. - That's not part of the exhibit.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Those are just my doll houses.

0:11:30 > 0:11:35- This one's more of a doll environment.- Yeah.

0:11:35 > 0:11:40A house just wasn't right. Here, it's better with the fan.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Nice.

0:11:44 > 0:11:50I'm chairing an art show next week about dolls. I'd love this for it.

0:11:50 > 0:11:56- What? But this isn't art.- Sure it is. You put your heart into it.

0:11:56 > 0:12:02- It's an expression of you. It's beautiful.- I never thought of that.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06I don't know... It's not really finished yet.

0:12:06 > 0:12:12- I understand.- But I'd like another look at Machine With Wishbone.

0:12:12 > 0:12:17I don't think I got the full effect the first time I saw it.

0:12:17 > 0:12:23Groovy beach, Paradise Polly! I wish she made me an environment!

0:12:23 > 0:12:27Oh, she will. I'm sure of it.
