0:00:24 > 0:00:26# If you wanna have fun, it doesn't matter at all

0:00:26 > 0:00:29- # Cos here we are, we're Big and Small.- Yeah!- #

0:00:34 > 0:00:37- OK?- OK, I'm almost there.- Easy!

0:00:37 > 0:00:40- Easy! OK...- Need a bit of help, there, Big.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43- Hoick me up.- Up you go.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47Ah, there you go. You be careful, I'm gonna look over there, OK?

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Where are you? Ah! There you are! Come here!

0:00:51 > 0:00:53OK, OK, I gotcha.

0:00:53 > 0:00:58Oh! I gotcha, I gotcha, I gotcha. Hey! Wow! Ha-ha!

0:00:58 > 0:01:01HE SCREAMS

0:01:01 > 0:01:03HE PANTS

0:01:03 > 0:01:07Oh! I caught one.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11I caught a firefly.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Big! Big, look at this!

0:01:15 > 0:01:19Hey, Big! Look at this! Yeah! Woo! Hey, Big! Look at this! Ha ha!

0:01:19 > 0:01:23Hey, Big! Hey, Big! Look, look, look!

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Hey, did you get one? I did. The best one, probably.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30Yeah, I got some too, Small. They're everywhere.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Aren't they beautiful?- So what now? Do they live with us?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Should we give them the guest room? - I'm not sure.

0:01:37 > 0:01:42- Probably we should let them go free. - Big, you can't let something go

0:01:42 > 0:01:45that you just caught. It doesn't make any sense.

0:01:45 > 0:01:51Course it does, Small. Don't worry, we can catch more tomorrow.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01If you love something, Small, you have to set it free.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04If it returns to you, it was meant to be yours.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07And if it doesn't, then...

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Oh, stop! HE SIGHS

0:02:09 > 0:02:11OK, I'll let you go.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19Come back any time! We live in that house over there.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25I'll wait up for you! Don't be a stranger!

0:02:27 > 0:02:30BIG SNORES

0:02:32 > 0:02:36Every time that I find something I want to keep,

0:02:36 > 0:02:38I have to let it go.

0:02:38 > 0:02:43It's not fair, Big. It's just not fair.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52# Cyrille the skunk, he lived in a trunk

0:02:52 > 0:02:58# But the stink was so strong, well, he couldn't stay long

0:02:58 > 0:03:02# I couldn't have been fonder of my whale, sweet Wanda

0:03:02 > 0:03:07# But she couldn't fit in my pond, so she quit

0:03:07 > 0:03:12# Tonight I can't sleep, I've tried counting sheep

0:03:12 > 0:03:16# But I keep thinking back to the things that I lack

0:03:16 > 0:03:21# The things that I just couldn't keep

0:03:22 > 0:03:26# And Maurice the moose, I had to let loose

0:03:26 > 0:03:31# Said he needed more space but oh, what a face

0:03:31 > 0:03:36# Tonight I can't sleep, I've tried counting sheep

0:03:36 > 0:03:41# But I keep thinking back to the things that I lack

0:03:41 > 0:03:46# The things that I just couldn't keep. #

0:03:59 > 0:04:02You came back!

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Hey, Big! Wake up! Wake up!

0:04:04 > 0:04:06BIG!

0:04:06 > 0:04:08BIG GROANS AND MUMBLES

0:04:08 > 0:04:11- It's my firefly.- What?

0:04:11 > 0:04:13He came back!

0:04:13 > 0:04:17I knew it. You want the guest room, don't you?

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Well, it's this way. Come on, it's really comfortable.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24There's a tiny little pillow in it...

0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Um...- Well, you could stay in this room.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Is that OK, Big?- Yeah, that's... Wow.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35I don't think he wants either room.

0:04:35 > 0:04:40- Oh! Hey, hang on...- Oh...ah...

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- What does he want, Big? - I dunno, Small.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47I think, though, he's trying to tell us something.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51Excuse me, um, could you talk real words?

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Because we don't understand Blink.

0:04:54 > 0:04:59- Small, I know who can help us! Come on!- OK.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- You're putting my face in leaves. - You put them in my ear.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Don't move your head, OK?- OK.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Twiba! Excuse me, Twiba!

0:05:09 > 0:05:15Wha...wh...wha...what? Big? Small? My hair is in curlers!

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Oh, my goodness. Haven't I told you to knock?

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Um, sorry to wake you, Twiba,

0:05:20 > 0:05:23but do you know how to talk to fireflies?

0:05:23 > 0:05:28Well, even though I shouldn't answer someone who refuses to phone ahead,

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- I will say that yes, I do. - That's good. Do you know why?

0:05:32 > 0:05:35This little firefly's been blinking at me

0:05:35 > 0:05:39and I've no idea what he's saying. Go ahead, firefly.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Go on. That's right. Go...

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Oh, no. That's bad.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51That's very bad.

0:05:51 > 0:05:53W-w-what's he saying?

0:05:53 > 0:05:57Shhh. OK, yes. Yes. Um-hmm.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Of course. I think they'll help you.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Uh, they're usually quite nice.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Well, yes. All right.

0:06:05 > 0:06:10Well, I find this too incredible to believe.

0:06:10 > 0:06:15Almost. But he says that someone put him into a jar.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- It was Big. - Small, it could have been you.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- It was by accident.- Well?- Well?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Well, somebody put him into a jar

0:06:23 > 0:06:25and separated him from his best friend.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29Now he can't find her, so he needs your help.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33He needs us to find him another firefly?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35But they're everywhere, look!

0:06:35 > 0:06:41Well, not just any firefly. His firefly. His friend.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44She blinks just exactly the same way that he does.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48And, well, I suppose that's how you'll find her.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51SHE YAWNS

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Good luck, kiddos.

0:06:54 > 0:07:00- Hmmm. We're gonna need a pencil. - And a huge piece of paper, Big.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.- I told you not to catch so many fireflies.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06I knew this would happen, Big.

0:07:06 > 0:07:11- I'm sorry.- I've told you many times - don't put fireflies in jars.

0:07:11 > 0:07:12That's what I say.

0:07:12 > 0:07:17OK, Small, I'm ready.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21OK. Firefly, you need to blink as slowly as you can

0:07:21 > 0:07:24so we can write it down. OK?

0:07:24 > 0:07:25And you can help, too.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Just count the blinks to see if you can find a pattern.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32OK. Blink, blink, blink.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Blink, blink, blink.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Oh, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink.- Five.

0:07:37 > 0:07:43Blink. Blink, blink, blink. Blink, blink, blink, blink, blink.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45Blink.

0:07:45 > 0:07:49Wow, wait! Small, you did it. You found the pattern.

0:07:49 > 0:07:55OK, listen. He blinks three times then five times really fast.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59Then once. Then three times. Then five times really fast.

0:07:59 > 0:08:05Then once. Three, five, one. Three, five, one.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08OK, so - now all we have to do is find another firefly

0:08:08 > 0:08:11who blinks in exactly the same way.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13- OK.- All right.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17OK. Attention, fireflies.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Ready?- Yes.- Good.

0:08:19 > 0:08:24Anyone who blinks like this - three blinks, then five rapid blinks,

0:08:24 > 0:08:28then one blink, please report to us. We have your friend.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Thank you for your attention.

0:08:30 > 0:08:35Big, this is impossible. There's like a gazillion flies out there.

0:08:35 > 0:08:40Oh, we'll never find the right one. Do you know what I mean, Big?

0:08:40 > 0:08:42HE SPLUTTERS

0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Small, Small, I've got an idea! Ha Ha!- What?

0:08:47 > 0:08:50BIG GRUNTS AND STRUGGLES

0:08:50 > 0:08:52This big torch, Small.

0:08:52 > 0:08:57I made it for talking to stars. It's very bright.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Wow!

0:09:06 > 0:09:07OK...

0:09:20 > 0:09:23- I think I see something.- Hmm?

0:09:27 > 0:09:29SMALL GASPS

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Wow.

0:09:40 > 0:09:41Wow.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45SMALL LAUGHS

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Bye, firefly. Come again sometime.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54- Did you see that, Big?- Uh-huh. - I think he likes me.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58- He might come and visit sometime. - Yeah, I think he might.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Ah!

0:10:03 > 0:10:08Hey, Big? If you lost me, would you blink for me?

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Of course I would.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Good.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15BIG YAWNS

0:10:15 > 0:10:19OK, how about two blinks, then one blink, then three blinks?

0:10:19 > 0:10:24OK. All right. Oh, or it could be two, one and four.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27- I like four.- OK. Four it is.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Two, one, four. Great.- Great.

0:10:29 > 0:10:34I think we also need a five, Big. So, two, one, four, five.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38Oh, and a seven. Two, one, seven, four, five.

0:10:38 > 0:10:4029.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43OK, that'll be our secret code. OK, Big?

0:10:43 > 0:10:45No one will ever know.
