0:00:02 > 0:00:03Your driving test is tomorrow
0:00:03 > 0:00:06and you still have no idea which button controls the wipers!
0:00:06 > 0:00:10- Is it this one?- Aargh! Aargh!
0:00:10 > 0:00:13- Is it this one?- Aargh!
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- It's time for Dani's House. - What are you doing?
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Aaargh!
0:00:17 > 0:00:22- Hi, my name's Dani, and this is my fantastic...- Best friend Jack.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Yeah, but... Oh, where was I?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Your name's Dani and I'm your best friend, too, Sam.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29As I was saying, this is my fantastic...
0:00:29 > 0:00:33- Max!- I'm her brother and, actually, it's... Ben?
0:00:33 > 0:00:35What? Oh, it's our show.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Can you just zip it?!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40As I was saying, my name's Dani and this is my...
0:00:40 > 0:00:43- What did I tell you?- I give up.
0:00:48 > 0:00:54So it all started with a little, teeny-weeny white lie.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55I loved the play.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00It was a masterpiece. I had no idea you were such a talented writer.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02I'm so pleased you liked it.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I was worried you'd think Russian space travel was boring.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07The drama of the first living thing into orbit -
0:01:07 > 0:01:10the puppy Laika - it's nail-biting suspense.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Wait a minute. They sent a dog into space?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Laika didn't just change the face of space travel. She licked it.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Double strength latte with semi-skimmed milk.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- What about my nutmeg?- Quit complaining. It's hot, isn't it?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24I'm doing this for you. If you're unhappy,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26we can cancel the whole deal.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29- What deal?- Mum said that Max can go to the Snakes And Ladders concert
0:01:29 > 0:01:31on one condition - that I go with him.
0:01:31 > 0:01:36Dani will only come if I'm her personal assistant for seven days.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Just my luck to have such a kind-hearted sister(!)
0:01:39 > 0:01:41If you don't want to do this, say so.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44No, of course I want to do it. Nutmeg coming right up.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- I wouldn't mind a drink. - What can Max get you?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Hmm...strawberry milkshake?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- My pleasure(!)- Oh, wait, but chocolate instead of strawberry.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55And stirred, not shaken.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57And hold the ice cream.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00One chocolate milk coming up.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03We booked our tickets to the concert ages ago.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Why can't Max just tag along?- This way I get an assistant for a week.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Max doesn't need to know I'm already going.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Dani, there was something I wanted to ask you about my play.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Anything for you, Little Miss Genius.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19I was hoping... I'm just going to come right out and say it.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Would you like to play the lead in my play?
0:02:23 > 0:02:27You want me to play the lead in Laika Come Home? But it's a dog.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29A dog lead.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I wrote the part for you. Who else can do Laika justice?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Hold that thought.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39I'm just going to go and get my cookies out the oven.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44Wouldn't want the cookies to burn. Jack, d'you want to give me a hand?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- DOORBELL RINGS - Max will get it.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Is the Snakes And Ladders concert really worth all this?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53It's been voted the best live gig two years running.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Yes, I think it's worth it.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- What's with the bling? - Don't you love it?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Michael sent it to me in the post. Apparently it was pirate booty.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05It's been in my family for generations.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- And your uncle just gave it to you? - Is it my lucky day or what?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Then at breakfast, I found the winning ticket in my cereal.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I've won a VIP tour of the amusement park.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- That's amazing!- And it gets better.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Because on my way here just now, this £50 note flew all the way
0:03:20 > 0:03:22down the street right into my chest.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27And it all started when that medallion arrived this morning.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Fascinating.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31So is the oven going to beep the cookies are ready?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35What am I going to do about Sam's play? Do I take the part or what?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Yeah, why not?- Cos it's the worst script I've ever read.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- You said it was a masterpiece.- I was trying not to hurt Sam's feelings.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Tell Sam the truth. - After I told her how great
0:03:44 > 0:03:45I thought her play was?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47That would be worse.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Maybe you shouldn't have lied.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Lies between friends, not healthy.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58Wait. What happened to the hot choc-chip cookies?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Sorry, I lied.- OK.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Lying might seem like a good idea, but people end up getting hurt.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Why are we even having this conversation?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- You said there were cookies. - No, I mean about Sam's play.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13It's so bad no theatre's going to allow it on stage.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15No director's ever going to sign up.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17What's the harm in agreeing to be the dog?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Have you heard nothing I've said? - Thanks.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23This way, I spare Sam's feelings and I get to look like the hero.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27It's hard to describe the feeling of elation, the joy,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29the tears when this flew towards me.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I can't believe I could be so lucky.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I've been thinking about that amazing lucky streak.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- How'd you like to put it to the test?- How do you mean?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Just a harmless little game...
0:04:40 > 0:04:44If you win, then we'll know for sure that today really is your lucky day.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46If you lose, I don't know...
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Say...you give me your medallion?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53I couldn't! It's a family heirloom.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55If today is your lucky day, you can't lose.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- What's the game?- A little game I call heads or tails.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- You mean we toss for it?- Exactly.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Tails you win, heads I get the medallion.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10No way. That's a double-headed coin. It's always heads.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- You know about this?- I gave it to you for Christmas.- Fine.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17I'll give you £10 for it.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Wow, £10!
0:05:20 > 0:05:23This is so my lucky day.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Not any more, loser!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- What do you mean?- Don't you realise?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Your lucky streak is because of this medallion
0:05:31 > 0:05:34and you just gave it away for ten sweet pounds.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37You tricked me! You sold me down the river.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Lucky streak, here I come.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I've made up my mind.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I'd love to star in your play.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50That's fantastic! Thank you!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Oh, no, thank you!
0:05:52 > 0:05:56It would be an honour to portray Laika, let alone a challenge
0:05:56 > 0:05:57and stretch of my acting skills.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Now all you need to do is find a director. Good luck with that.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I've already got a director signed up.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Oh, you do? Wow! Congratulations.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Has the director read the script?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Of course he has. What am I saying? - Can I be in it, too? I love dogs.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Woof! Woof!
0:06:16 > 0:06:19How about you deal with props?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Yes!
0:06:20 > 0:06:23It seems a bit soon to be getting a props team together.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27You need somewhere to put the play on first. Good luck with that.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- The local theatre company are all set.- Really?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Curtain goes up in seven days! - Oh, yay!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Doctor, you have to help me.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41What seems to be the problem?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Every time I lie, my nose seems to grow.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I find that hard to believe.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Fine. I think you're a fine figure of a man
0:06:47 > 0:06:50and I have every confidence in your ability.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Thank you very much.- See?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Yippee!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Max, listen to this.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37My uncle sent me a postcard. It turns out the medallion
0:07:37 > 0:07:40he sent me, the medallion you're wearing, is cursed.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Don't be ridiculous.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44"Dear Ben, since sending you the medallion,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48"my life has taken a real turn for the better after 20 years of pain."
0:07:48 > 0:07:50And this concerns me how?
0:07:50 > 0:07:54He says his hives have cleared up for the first time.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56He says it must be destroyed.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59You wrote that postcard to try and get this lucky medallion back.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I didn't, I swear. The medallion really is cursed.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06How do you explain all that lucky stuff that happened to you?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Maybe it really was just my lucky day.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Since you've been wearing it,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13you haven't been having much luck.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Just taking a while to kick in.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It could happen to anyone.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I wonder if I could bury my favourite bone
0:08:23 > 0:08:25on the surface of the moon.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- RUSSIAN ACCENT: - Prepare for moonwalk, Laika.
0:08:29 > 0:08:35One small step for man's best friend, one giant leap for dogkind.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40- Down, Laika. Down!- Dani, I'm still not feeling your raw emotion.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45You should be apprehensive, excited, terrified.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I'm sorry, but it feels false. Laika never landed on the moon.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I know, but this sequence explores Laika's hopes and dreams.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Question.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58The bit where Laika plays fetch on the moon - is that really possible?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Wouldn't the ball just fly into orbit when you tried to throw it?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Let's take it from the top. - Not again.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I mean, I want to keep it fresh.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I'm sure I'll crack it tomorrow.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- A live audience always gets me in the mood.- Great.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Because the entire theatre is sold out.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17PHONE RINGS
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Gosh. Who'd have thought Laika Come Home would be so popular?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23I can't go through with this.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24It's too late to back out now.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27You should have told the truth in the first place.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Would you stop saying, "I told you so"?- I told you so.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Let's see how your story stacks up.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Get a lie-detector now, shall we?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Did you rob the bank on Thursday night?- No, I did not.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49- Did you blow the vault door? - No, I did not.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Did you use the money to purchase expensive jewellery?
0:09:52 > 0:09:53That's ridiculous.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57All right, Fingers, that's enough.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01You've beaten the lie-detector...yet again.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03You're free to go.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Thanks, Inspector.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11But I'm watching you, Fingers! You hear me? I'm watching you!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Look on the bright side.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16It's just the local theatre.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19It's not like anyone important will see it.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Great news. The talent agent I contacted just RSVP'd.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28He's coming to the show tomorrow night especially to see you perform.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Oh, you're welcome, darling. It's the least you deserve.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Jack, we'd better pop back to theatre
0:10:34 > 0:10:37to see if the pooper-scoop has arrived for Laika's moonwalk.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- Good luck, Dani!- It's bad luck to say "good luck" in a theatre.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42You should say, "Break a leg."
0:10:42 > 0:10:46I'm learning so much about the theatre this week. Break a leg, Dani!
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Ha-ha! Humans are so amusing with all that quaint superstition.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- It's so silly.- "Look at me!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59"I'm stepping on a crack!"
0:10:59 > 0:11:02"I'm opening an umbrella up inside!"
0:11:02 > 0:11:03THEY LAUGH
0:11:03 > 0:11:06"Check it out. I'm going to press button number 13!"
0:11:06 > 0:11:08No, not that one!
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Time troops! We're about to be slimed!
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Code Red! Code Red!
0:11:16 > 0:11:20And they say umbrellas indoors is unlucky. Nah-ha-ha!
0:11:24 > 0:11:26If I'm seen in this barking mad play,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29my entire career will be ruined. What am I gonna do?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Why don't you just drop out?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I can't. Sam will be crushed.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Then come up with a really good excuse.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39A little white lie got me into this. Maybe it could get me out.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Where's the harm?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Any chance you didn't notice that?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47That's gonna really hurt your savings account.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Now go get me a pizza. - Your legs don't work?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Do you want to go to the Snakes And Ladders concert?
0:11:52 > 0:11:53All right, I'll get you a pizza.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55You want the usual?
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Hang on. What was I thinking? You pay.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Hi, Sam.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I'm really sorry, I can't be Laika.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10You'd better call my understudy.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14You see, the thing is, I had a bit of an accident.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16You won't believe this, but...
0:12:16 > 0:12:20I broke my leg and it's in a really huge cast.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22No, no, no, there's no need for you to come over.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25No, no, that won't be necessary.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Oh, that's really sweet.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29OK, I'll see you later. Bye!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33What was I thinking?
0:13:08 > 0:13:09Have you heard the news?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Three hyenas have escaped from the zoo. They're at large in the city!
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Where's Max?- He's gone to get me a meat feast pizza.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Don't tell me. A pack of hyenas stole your pizza?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22It could happen to anyone.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Here. Enjoy.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Not the lie I would have chosen, but not bad.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- DOORBELL RINGS - Ooh! Wish me luck.- Break a leg.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Get this lot cleaned up. Fast!
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- Oh, Dani, you poor thing. - To help scratch under the cast.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48You really are the best.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54You poor thing. It's dreadful you won't be able to play Laika.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57I know. Tell me about it.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I was in agony and that's all I could think about.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Maybe I could rewrite the script
0:14:02 > 0:14:04so you can play Laika in a wheelchair.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Don't be silly. That would go against everything
0:14:07 > 0:14:08your play stands for.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Laika bounding ahead, one giant leap for dogkind.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Where are your crutches?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15The hospital ran out.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17This is the worst plaster job I've ever seen.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Did they do it with their eyes closed.- It's not that bad.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Let me get you a snack. Sandwich?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You breaking your leg's a blessing in disguise.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- In what way?- At least you don't have to appear in Sam's play.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Hadn't really thought about it.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Did Sam mention something about a snack?- Help yourself.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Honey or jam? >
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Honey, please!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- One honey sandwich. - You needn't worry.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59My understudy's a really good actor.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01He's only eight, but I've heard him bark.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Jack, I need you in the kitchen.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- What's up? - I bought some special cookies.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Dani's faking. There's no broken leg!
0:15:10 > 0:15:13It's a fake plaster. She's switched legs.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15She is one good actress.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17How could she lie to me like that?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Just to be clear, there aren't any cookies, are they?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Why would she jeopardise my very first play?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Maybe because she thinks Laika Come Home
0:15:27 > 0:15:31is the worst script she's ever read. An offence to the art world.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- A literary train wreck. - She said that?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Maybe...
0:15:36 > 0:15:38To be honest, yeah, she did.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40So she's been lying to me for the entire week?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Did I mention I love the play?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I want to hear Dani say she hates my play, that my writing sucks.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52This whole culture of lying has to stop.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54I have to get her to confess.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Have you considered being honest,
0:15:56 > 0:16:00confronting her and having a real conversation about this?
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Back in the real world...
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Are you with me? - Still seems a bit dishonest to me.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06What choice do we have?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08If we're honest, she lies to our faces.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10We're only lying to catch a liar.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Once we do that, the lying stops.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I suppose it might work, giving Dani a taste of her own medicine.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17And I have the perfect plan.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24That could happen to anyone.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26You won't believe what happened.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30You've just had your VIP tour of the amusement park,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33thanks to your lucky day with this medallion.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Congratulations.- There's nothing lucky about it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39The day I got the medallion was the worst day of my life.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I got lost in the haunted house.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45It was three hours before anyone realised the screaming dummy was me.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49So what? Your VIP pass didn't exactly work out.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- What about that £50 note you found? - I used it for my fare home.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I was arrested for circulating counterfeit money.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- You're lying. - That medallion's cursed.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03Please stop trying to scam me. I'm not giving back this medallion.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Didn't realise a broken leg would be so boring.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I got my step-dad to pull some strings
0:17:12 > 0:17:16The specialist is going to give you a home visit. Surprise!
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- He's coming here? - He's gonna examine your leg.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20I don't think that'll be necessary.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25Nonsense. You've broken your leg. You deserve to be seen by an expert.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27DOORBELL
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- That's him!- I don't feel like seeing a doctor right now.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37You again. Thanks for coming back.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I forgot to take a blood sample.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43If you wouldn't mind rolling up your sleeve...
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Oh, no, you don't!
0:17:48 > 0:17:51An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I've never seen a plaster cast quite like this.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00So it's a bit shoddy, a bit rushed. Maybe the nurse was in a hurry.
0:18:00 > 0:18:06I did that one. I call it Picture Of A Doggy On Dani's Cast.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Something about this doesn't seem right.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10OK, you got me.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13The truth is...
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Wait, aren't you in my acting class? Wednesday night in the village hall?
0:18:16 > 0:18:20- Remember? Sam, didn't we lend him the bus fare home one time?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- That's right. This is Dr Rathborne. - Bone.- Rathbone.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27He attends acting classes in his free time.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- He definitely is a real, genuine doctor.- Yeah.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Hmm... Oh, dear.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Oh, dear.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Oh, dear.- What is it? What's wrong?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Can you feel that?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Yep.- It's worse than I thought.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52You have a very rare and serious condition.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- It's called Pinocchitus disease. - Please say it isn't so.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59But I thought I only had a broken leg...if that.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Pinocchitus is a disease of the mind.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'll let the news sink in.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Give me a call when you're ready to discuss this.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Now. I'm ready now.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- What's wrong with my mind?- You see?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14She has to ask.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15I'm on the gner if you need me.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- The gner?- What gner?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19You said you're on the gner if I need you.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21No, I'm on the phone.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Auditory hallucinations already taking hold.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Thank you so much for coming.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Good luck.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Spoon the flip-flops with your sprinkle.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36You too. Thanks for coming.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Try to stay calm. Let's see what this disease involves
0:19:49 > 0:19:53and then bugbears in blancmange can be ticklish, OK?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Ah, Pinocchitus disease. Let's see. Symptoms...
0:19:57 > 0:20:01"First, you'll start hearing things, then you'll start to feel warm.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Some patients see spots before their eyes."
0:20:02 > 0:20:04That doesn't sound so bad.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07"You may experience double vision and then paranoia sets in."
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- How am I going to cope?- There's more. "And right before the end..."
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- The end?- "You start speaking a nonsense language..."
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I'm gonna be talking gibberish?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19It sounds serious. You can't make this stuff up.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24- No, sir.- There must be a cure.- I'm sorry, Dani, there isn't a cure.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27But we're your best friends. We'll be here for you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29If you want to talk about anything...
0:20:29 > 0:20:32anything you want to get off your chest before it's too late?
0:20:32 > 0:20:33Nothing springs to mind.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39So you really think this'll make Dani confess?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Definitely. All we have to do is turn up the heat.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Yeah, really put her under pressure.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47No, I mean literally turn up the heat.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Wow, it's really hot in here.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Can we open a window or something?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Don't be silly. It's cold out.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01In fact, I can use another porcupine.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Brrr, I'm freezing.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Wiggle.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Oh, no, feeling warm - it's the next symptom.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I didn't think the disease would progress this quickly.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Please tell me you can see that.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18See what?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- What are you looking at? - It's what the medical journal said.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I'm getting red spots before my eyes.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26That's it. I'm calling Dr Rathbone.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Now, I know you had concerns about the size,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38particularly the length, of your nose.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41But you'll be thrilled to know that the plastic surgery was a success.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50I'm sure you'll agree your face is now more evenly proportioned.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Wow, thanks! That's much better.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04The doctor should be here any minute. I left the door on the latch.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08He said for me to bring down your temperature with a glass of water.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- Thanks, Sam. Which one's mine? - There's just one glass.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Oh, no, it's the next symptom.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I've started to see double.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Maybe a snack would help.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Please tell me you can see two sandwiches.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23All right, you got me.
0:22:23 > 0:22:29- Technically there should be two, but I ate the other one.- Hello?
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Thank goodness, the doctor's arrived.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32We're in here, Doctor.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38I understand you're seeing spots before your eyes.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Are you starting to see double yet?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- A little.- It's OK, Dani. Dr Rathbone is here to help.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45There are two Dr Rathbones.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Please tell me you can see two Dr Rathbones.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50She's been like this all afternoon.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I'm not really sure how much she understands.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Hmm. The Pinocchitus is a lot more advanced than I feared.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02It is?
0:23:05 > 0:23:10I'd recommend a second opinion, but there simply isn't time.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17- I hope you've had put all your affairs in order.- He's right, Dani.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- You should tie up any loose ends. - Say anything that needs to be said.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Is there nothing you can do, Doctor?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27The monkey with the suitcase threw the fox a party.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29There's nothing I can do.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34Oh, no. You know what happens next? I start talking gibberish.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39- I'm sorry, Dani. I didn't understand any of that.- No-o-o-o!
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Cool, you got your laptop fixed.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Finally. Cola?- Don't mind if I do.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Unlucky.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53All right, all right, I admit it, this medallion's cursed.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Nothing's gone right since I got it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Told you. Uncle's postcard was right. - Here. I want nothing to do with it.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02No way. That curse is your problem.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Wait a minute. There's a letter from the Snakes and Ladders Fan Club.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11A backstage pass to their concert.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17My name was randomly selected from 5,000 fan club members.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I won! I knew it!
0:24:20 > 0:24:23This medallion really IS lucky.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26It stays right around my neck, baby.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Wait a minute. Is that an owl?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33In the daytime? In a built-up area?
0:24:34 > 0:24:39- My pass!- OK, what were the chances of that?
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Hang on. What's this?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Another letter from Snakes and Ladders.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50For Dani.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Sam, we need to talk.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- There's something I have to say while I can talk.- I understood that.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08This is hard to say and you'll be upset,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11but...I don't have a broken leg.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13It's fake. I didn't want to be in your play
0:25:13 > 0:25:18and I thought telling the truth would hurt your feelings, so I lied.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- I see.- Laika Come Home just didn't appeal to me.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I couldn't connect with it, you know?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Theatre should pull at your heart strings, grip you,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29take you to another place, really mesmerise...
0:25:29 > 0:25:31All right. There's no need to go on about it.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34I'm really sorry, Sam.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38I was so selfish. And now I'm afflicted with this horrible disease
0:25:38 > 0:25:40and I've re-evaluated life.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Now I know what matters.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45We're friends and I should want to be in your play no matter what.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48And now I'm sick and losing my mind and I just really hope
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- you can forgive me. - At last.- Success! Give me some!
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- What do you mean?- I knew you were faking. I just wanted you to confess.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58There's nothing wrong with you. Dr Rathbone was a fake.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- What about the other Dr Rathbone? - Twins. We figured, if we tricked you
0:26:02 > 0:26:04you'd think twice before lying to us.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07So there's no such thing as Pinocchitus disease?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Of course not. I made it up.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Oh, Hallelujah! I'm gonna live!
0:26:15 > 0:26:18- What about the spots?- Fake.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Wow. Those two Dr Rathbones were really convincing.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- I wrote all their lines. - You really are a good writer.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- I promise I'll never lie again. - So you want to be in my play?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Look, you've made me realise what friendship is all about,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33so I'm gonna be in your play. Woof, woof.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Thank you!
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Curtains go up at seven.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- Looking forward to it.- Break a leg.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41So, there you have it.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Now you understand why I agreed to be Laika the space dog.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50You were already going to the Snakes and Ladders gig.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Oh, yeah. How did you find out?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Your tickets just arrived.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58You made me be your personal assistant for a whole week
0:26:58 > 0:26:59and you were going anyway!
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- You're just unlucky, I guess. - My luck's about to change.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Good riddance, curse! - Wait. What is it?
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Just a stupid old lump of gold.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Wow, this would look great as the tag on Laika's collar.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Wait.- What?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17Oh, nothing. You go ahead.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Wear the medallion. Enjoy.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Right, I'm off to the theatre for our world premiere. Wish me luck.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25That won't do much good.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Ow! Ow! My leg!
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I think it's broken. Call an ambulance!
0:27:35 > 0:27:37You shouldn't be watching TV while driving.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- I'm fine. I do it all the time. - Look out!
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- There's a dog in the fast lane! - Humans are so irresponsible!
0:27:46 > 0:27:48That thing should be on a lead.
0:27:48 > 0:27:54- Aw! Aw, look what it's doing on the satellite.- Oh, dirty!
0:27:54 > 0:27:59# Sometimes I feel like breaking free
0:27:59 > 0:28:01# Let's lift these chains
0:28:01 > 0:28:06# Let's rock this wave right out to sea
0:28:06 > 0:28:11# I will be
0:28:11 > 0:28:12# Breaking free. #
