0:00:05 > 0:00:07'This is the story of Roy O'Brien.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11'He lives in an ordinary house, on an ordinary street.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14'the only trouble is, he doesn't LOOK very ordinary.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17'All Roy really wants is to fit in.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19'But it's very hard to stay out of trouble
0:00:19 > 0:00:21'when you're a cartoon!'
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Ro-o-oy!
0:00:23 > 0:00:25THEY WHIMPER
0:00:25 > 0:00:29Ro-o-oy!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Roy!
0:00:37 > 0:00:38ROY!
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Ha-ha!
0:00:42 > 0:00:44BELL RINGS 'It's the end of another school day,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48'and Roy and his chums are discussing plans for the evening.'
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Why do we get so much work?!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Who's up for a game of Frisbee in the park? No, no.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Who's up for a computer game at mine? Smash, plus the new...
0:00:55 > 0:00:57No, shopping! What about...?
0:00:57 > 0:00:58No, soccer! Ah, no, Frisbee!
0:00:58 > 0:01:00No, soccer! Frisbee! No, computer games, come on!
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Nah, I can't.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Why not?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I've too much to do. Look!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Wow, that is a lot.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11He must be really stressed out.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Yeah, a little bit. But I'll be grand once I...
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Roy? Miss... Roy's frozen.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23A BOY LAUGHS
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Roy? Are you OK?
0:01:26 > 0:01:29THUD Oh, my goodness!
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Roy!
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Yeah, eh, Miss... I think you killed him.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37What? No, Roy! Roy, speak to me!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42IT GURGLES ANGRILY
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Ugh... wait, what is it?
0:01:46 > 0:01:48I think it's a...monster!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51THEY SCREAM
0:01:51 > 0:01:53IT GURGLES
0:01:53 > 0:01:56It's attacking O'Brien. Quick! Someone get a hammer.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59No, no, no! Wait, wait...
0:01:59 > 0:02:00I think it's trying to help him.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Bup. Beep!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Buddy? Ba-da-ba-da-beep.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06BUDDY! Wha-ba-da-beep!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09MISS JERVIS: Roy? Do you know this creature?
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Yes, Miss. It's my imaginary friend. Boop.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Your imaginary what?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15ALL: Friend!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18THUD
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Buh-ba-da goo. Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Can you just...run us through it again, Miss Jervis?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Oh, yeah, well, eh, the kids were leaving school as usual
0:02:30 > 0:02:32and then all of a sudden Roy...
0:02:32 > 0:02:33..froze frame.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Yes! Yeah. And then Buddy emerged out of his thought bubble and...
0:02:37 > 0:02:39..and Roy re-animated.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Yeah. Oh, I take it this has happened before?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Yup, but not for a long time.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46No, it's...we didn't expect it to happen again, either.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48That's why we didn't discuss the possibilities of it. Oh...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Well, don't worry. I'm just delighted it did.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I thought I was fortunate enough to have Roy as a pupil,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55and now Buddy as well.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Sorry, you-you-you- you want Buddy to go to the school?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Of course.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03I'm not sure that's a good idea.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Oh, really? Yeah. Why not?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Well... BUDDY: Buh, ba-doo-doo. Boing!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Buddy... Yeah, you know, Buddy...
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Buddy... Buddy can be sort of, erm... ..a handful.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Yeah. Boing! Yeah, just a bit of a handful.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I mean, if you, if you...imagine you combine the best elements
0:03:21 > 0:03:25of a...of a baby, and maybe a puppy together. Yeah...good, yeah.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Yeah. MISS JERVIS LAUGHS
0:03:27 > 0:03:28Sorry, that's just adorable.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Oh, it is. Yeah. Absolutely.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Yeah, but then add ten pounds of sugar and set them
0:03:32 > 0:03:35both free inside a toy shop, with a baseball bat.
0:03:35 > 0:03:3724 hours a day. Seven days a week. Mmm.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Well, I appreciate the warning,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I do, but I'm sure that I could overcome any challenges
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Buddy throws my way.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47With your permission,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I'd love to make Buddy a part of the school community.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55So, tomorrow morning, 9am?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Well, if you insist.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Don't say we didn't warn you now.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Why is he back, Bill?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Roy obviously needs him.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Yeah. But why now?
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Is your favourite food still pizza? Buh, ba-duh, buh-buh!
0:04:12 > 0:04:16Lasagne? Ba-da, bee-beep, boo-doo. No way, mine too.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17What about chocolate bars?
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Bah, bee-dee-beep, boop, boop,
0:04:19 > 0:04:21beep-beep. BUDDY SLURPS
0:04:21 > 0:04:25You're messing with me. Boop. Tell me you're messing... Buh-uh.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Ba-da beep-beep. Ha-ha! That's so freaky.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30We haven't seen each other in, like, seven years
0:04:30 > 0:04:33but we still like all the same things.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Ba-da beep, boop, boop. Ha-ha!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Yeah, that is the reason why we're best friends.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40And you know something else? Beep?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Now you're back, I want you to stay forever.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Ba-da-beep-beep, ha-ha-ha...
0:04:46 > 0:04:47Beep-beep, boop.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53I'm so excited about today.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I just can't wait to get started.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Drama, art, music, expressive dance, improvisational poetry.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02The possibilities are endless.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Every school in the world deserves a Buddy.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12So you're enrolling a figment of O'Brien's imagination?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15A squiggle he drew on a piece of paper when he was four years of age?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Yep.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20And who will we be admitting next? Wonder Woman?
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Spider-Man?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Derek. Breathe.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26And what about the warning from Mr and Mrs O'Brien?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Are you going to ignore their sage advice?
0:05:28 > 0:05:30No, I'm well aware of the challenges ahead.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Buddy is a unique individual.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Integrating him into life into Sandyford Progressive won't be easy.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39But just think of the rewards when we succeed...
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Which are?! A walking, talking imaginary friend amongst us.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47He'll enrich our lives in ways that we can't even...
0:05:47 > 0:05:49..imagine? Exactly.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Gah!
0:05:51 > 0:05:54What about you? What's your opinion on this matter?
0:05:55 > 0:05:59He isn't real. But I can see him.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00God...
0:06:00 > 0:06:03So, we're suppose to treat this creature
0:06:03 > 0:06:06the same as any other student in the school, hmm?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08100%.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09And what if he gets out of line?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Are we allowed to discipline him?
0:06:11 > 0:06:14You mean nurture him, Derek, with patience and understanding.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Look, it is our job as educators to adapt to Buddy's behaviour,
0:06:18 > 0:06:19and not the other way around.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21SQUELCH BUDDY: Buh, ba-da-boo.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Buddy! Hee-hee-hee. Eh, sorry about that, Miss.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27That's just how Buddy likes to say "Good morning." Oh...
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Good morning, Buddy.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31SQUELCH BUDDY: Ba, da-ba, beep, ba-da.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34SQUELCH BUDDY LAUGHS
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Patience and understanding?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Mm-hmm.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Hmm...understood.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I can't believe you just did that! Two in a row! Ba-da-beep.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48But she's the principal! Boop.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51What did he do? Threw two cream pies in Miss Jervis' face.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Ha-ha! No way! Hee-hee.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55He did. I swear.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57And...and what happened?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Nothing. Ba-ba-dee, ba-ba-doo.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03All right, bay-o, ba, doo. All right, I'll ask them.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Who wants to play a game?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07No-one. We're not babies.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09What sort of game?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Ba-ba, ba-da. Ba-ba-doo. Come inside and Buddy'll show you.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Wait, do you understand what he's saying?
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Of course.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17What language is he speaking?
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Buddenese. I'm fluent.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Ba-ba-doo-ba-dee!
0:07:26 > 0:07:28BUDDY GURGLES Ba-boo-bee-da-dee!
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Beep, beep!
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Bing, ba, da-boop!
0:07:38 > 0:07:43Class, erm, wha-what are you doing
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Bing, bing, bing.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Hey sir, Buddy says, "Hop on one foot."
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Sir! Buddy says, "Hop on one foot."
0:07:52 > 0:07:54BUDDY GURGLES
0:08:01 > 0:08:03CAR ENGINE ROARS Neeeeuuuuww!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Neeeeeuuuuww!
0:08:06 > 0:08:07BRAKES SCREECH
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Eh, sorry, sir. We were just...
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Oh, that's all right, O'Brien.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Please, continue. Really? BEEP BEEP BEEP
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Oh, I insist.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Ba-ba-da beep.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Ha, Buddy says you're cool, sir.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22ENGINE ROARS Ba-ba-ba beep.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Yes. Well, tell your little friend, "Thank you," from me.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Oh, and tell him to keep dreaming up zany ways to having fun.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Neeeeeoooww! TYRES SCREECH
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Neeeeooooww!
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Neeeeoooww!
0:08:40 > 0:08:42I know what you're thinking.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46I should be dead set against this little monster. Which I am.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50But Miss Jervis is the one who brought this plague upon us.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57So I'm going to use O'Brien's little friend to teach her
0:08:57 > 0:09:02a sorely-needed lesson about the dangers of being too progressive.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Ha! HE SNORTS
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Well, no. Things aren't going exactly to plan.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11But I am not ready to throw in the towel just yet.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16Buddy O'Brien is no different from any other...challenging student.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19And do you know how you deal with them?
0:09:19 > 0:09:24Patience, understanding and remaining calm.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Calmness, at all times.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29SQUEAK, BOING Ah! Oh!
0:09:29 > 0:09:32(Ah, Buddy.)
0:09:37 > 0:09:39MUSIC: Ride Of The Valkyries by Richard Wagner
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Ba-ba-da-boom. Neeeuuuuw!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It was a nightmare, Mr Hammond.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48He had me hopping on my left foot for over 25 minutes.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I mean, he's loud, he's... Ba-ba-da-boo!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53..naughty, he's a distraction to the other children.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Now, now, Mr Lucey. Remember what Miss Jervis told us.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00It's our job as educators to adapt to Buddy's behaviour,
0:10:00 > 0:10:02not the other way round.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Now, just when you think Roy can't be any more of a loser.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Did you have an imaginary friend when you were younger?
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Eh...no.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Do you fancy joining in?
0:10:12 > 0:10:13No way!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15But it looks like fun.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Yeah, if you're a baby!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Where are you going?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23BUDDY GURGLES
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Hey, sir, Buddy's after shooting you. Really?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Yeah, you have to bail out and parachute to the ground.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32I don't think so, O'Brien.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36You can tell your little friend that I sustained only minor damage
0:10:36 > 0:10:38to my right aileron.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41And that he'd better watch his back!
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Neeeuuuuw! Dat-tat-tat-tat!
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Neeeeuuuuw! Dat-tat-tat!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Do you want to play, sir?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Erm, no. No, thank you, Roy.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Ah, come on, sir. Look, even Hammond's having fun!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Neeeeeooooow! Dat-tat-tat!
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Sir, you're not frightened of HIM, are you? Buh-buh, ba-doo.
0:10:59 > 0:11:00No.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Thing is, Roy, I'm a man of science.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Everything I believe in tells me that Buddy isn't real.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Neeeeuuuuww! Dat-tat-tat!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11But he is real, sir. Look!
0:11:11 > 0:11:13BUDDY GURGLES HAPPILY

0:11:24 > 0:11:26Thanks, Deco. Are you coming, too?
0:11:26 > 0:11:31Nah, I've got a better way how to use my imagination.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50How are you, Miss?
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Eh, Declan? Can I help you with something?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Eh, no, thanks. Me and Nigel just fancied a cup of tea.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Who?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Nigel. My imaginary friend.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Say hello, Nigel.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Nigel says, "Hello."
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Hello, Nigel.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Patience and understanding, Jane. Practice what you preach.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Ah!
0:12:38 > 0:12:41That was a deadly dogfight, Roy.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Yeah. Hey, what does Buddy want to do next?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Ba-ba-dee, buh-ba-da, beep, beep.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Aw, deadly! You guys are going to love this!

0:13:29 > 0:13:33Aw, I'm so, so sorry, Miss. I didn't...
0:13:33 > 0:13:34That's on my record.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Come on, Deco. Here! - Hmm, oh, boop!
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Hey, Sean. To me, to me, to me!
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Whoa! Ha!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47THUD, BOING
0:14:02 > 0:14:03Miss Jervis.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Hee-hee, ba-ba-da, hey.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Nearly there, Jane. Only one more class to go.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Beep!
0:14:25 > 0:14:30WATER SPLASHES
0:14:30 > 0:14:32BUDDY!

0:14:45 > 0:14:47WATER SPLASHES
0:14:47 > 0:14:49HIS ARM WHIRS
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Stop!
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Buddy O'Brien, get out of my school!
0:14:56 > 0:14:59You are expelled!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01THEY GASP
0:15:05 > 0:15:11'32 years of teaching and that's the best fun I've ever had! Ha!'
0:15:13 > 0:15:15KNOCK AT DOOR TEARFULLY: Come in.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Ah, Miss Jervis, working late, are we?
0:15:18 > 0:15:23I lost my temper, Derek. I raised my voice at a student.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I expelled someone today. I mean, what is going on?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Well, we all make mistakes, Miss Jervis.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31SHE SNIFFS
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Yeah...oh, I suppose.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38But would you mind saying it out loud?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Sorry?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44That you made a colossal mistake.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Trust me, it'll do you good.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48I made a mistake.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Colossal.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I made a colossal mistake.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Now, that's better, isn't it?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Yeah, yeah.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Marvellous. Well, I'll see you in the morning.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06I brought Buddy O'Brien into this school, to teach the kids...
0:16:06 > 0:16:10but he ended up teaching me a valuable lesson.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Come again?!
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Humility, Derek. A quality that I've been sorely lacking.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17And I wasn't even aware of it.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Right... I mean, how arrogant have I been to think that there was
0:16:21 > 0:16:23no student that I couldn't handle?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I was wrong.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28And in admitting that, Buddy O'Brien has made me
0:16:28 > 0:16:29a better educator.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Really?
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Yes. He has taught me to be more humble.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35More open to the idea that
0:16:35 > 0:16:37there's always something you can learn, every day.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39I mean, look what he's done for you!
0:16:39 > 0:16:43He has brought out your creativity. Your sense of fun.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47He has given you a bond with those kids that you never had before.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Thank you.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49For what?!
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I haven't made a colossal mistake.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Inviting Buddy O'Brien into this school has been
0:16:54 > 0:16:58the best decision of my career.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Derek! Ha-ha! Mwah!
0:17:00 > 0:17:01Ha-ha!
0:17:05 > 0:17:10I...I can't believe it! She's right.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20And then we played Frisbee. Whoo!
0:17:20 > 0:17:23And then we did knick-knacks. No.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Oh, I had the biggest water-balloon battle royal ever!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Oh. Boo-ba-doo, boo-ba-doo-boop.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Oh, and Buddy got expelled by Miss Jervis.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Did he really? What time was that at?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36I don't know, at around half two.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Aw, that's great, love. I'm glad you had some fun.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42That's a tenner you owe me. Yeah, I know.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Oy, oy, beep-beep.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Ba, ba-ba-da, beep-beep. Ba-ba-doo?
0:17:49 > 0:17:50Ma, what's for dinner?
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Lasagne.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Aw, deadly. Did you hear that, Buddy?
0:17:54 > 0:17:56We're having our favourite. Hey!
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Give me that, you...
0:18:00 > 0:18:02How long are you going to keep this up for? Stop, Becky.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Stop what?!
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Looking for problems that aren't there.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07You know what happened last time. Roy should know.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Yeah, but it might be different this time. No, it won't.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Becky, please don't say anything to your brother.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15You'll only end up hurting him.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Well, it's going to happen anyway, sooner or later.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Fine, everything's fine.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33KNOCK AT DOOR Go away.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35LOUDER KNOCK AT DOOR
0:18:37 > 0:18:39What do you want?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Buh, buh-da-buh, ba-duh. I'm not doing this again, Buddy.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45BUDDY GURGLES SADLY
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Is that supposed to be me? Ba, ba-dee, ba-ba-dee.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Aw, can I have it?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57BUDDY GURGLES CHEERFULLY Thanks.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08beep-beep, boing, boing! Buddy! Come on...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11DOG BARKS
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Do you know what, Buddy? Today was the best day ever.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16All thanks to you.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Night.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Bye-bye, bloy. Bye-bye.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Aw, Buddy. You won't believe the dream I had.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43If you thought water-balloon battle royal was fun,
0:19:43 > 0:19:44wait till you hear...
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Buddy? Are you playing hide and seek with me again?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Ah-hah! Found you!
0:19:56 > 0:19:58What?
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Ha-ha!
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Hi, love. Have you seen him?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Don't worry, I won't say you told me.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08What are you talking about, son?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Buddy wasn't beside me when I woke up.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13He must be playing hide-and-seek or something. Ha-ha.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17He's done it again. We don't know that, Becky...
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Then where is he? Where is he since last night?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Have you seen him? Have you?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Roy deserves to know the truth.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Roy, there's no point looking for him, he's gone. Becky, wait!
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Gone? What do you mean gone?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Do you really not remember the last time he left?
0:20:33 > 0:20:35No.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37He just left without saying goodbye to any of us.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Now he's done the same thing all over again.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Ma!
0:20:46 > 0:20:47We need to talk.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Do you remember when you first started school, love?
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Kind of.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Tell us about it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04'I was really shy.'
0:21:04 > 0:21:06That's right.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Soon as anybody said hello to you, you'd just end up...
0:21:08 > 0:21:10..freezing frame.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12CRASH
0:21:12 > 0:21:17And that's when we first brought you to Dr Rashid's.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19The school asked him to help.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22And he was the one who came up with a solution.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25A way of you... overcoming your shyness.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Ta-da!
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Buddy.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I don't know what we would have done without him.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Beep! Blub, blub, blub.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Buddy had you mixing and making friends in no time.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Ba-da, ba-da, beep, beep, beep.
0:21:40 > 0:21:45And as soon as you learned to have fun and relax without his help,
0:21:45 > 0:21:46he was gone.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48And thought we'd never see him again.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51But how could he just run away like that?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I thought we were best friends.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56HEART CRACKS
0:21:56 > 0:21:59WATER DROPLETS PLOP
0:22:04 > 0:22:05You're lucky.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Why?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11He only broke YOUR heart once.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26DING! Ma, Da, Becky!
0:22:26 > 0:22:28What's going on? I know how to get him back.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31How? He lives in my imagination, yeah?
0:22:31 > 0:22:32I'll just go in after him. Are you crazy?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34How are you supposed to get back out again?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Becky's right, love. That's a bad idea.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Come on, son. Stop the bouncing. No, I need to bring home Buddy!
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Bill! I'll get his legs.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Quick!
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Hello, Buddy.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Roy? What are you doing here?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56I came to bring you home.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57To the real world?
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Yep. Where you belong.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Don't you understand?
0:23:03 > 0:23:04You're part of the family.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07We all want you to stay with us forever.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I can't, Roy.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Why not? Don't you love us any more?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I love you, Bill, Maura and Becky more than anything.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16So what's the problem?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Come on, I'll explain it to you.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23You created me for a reason.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27To help you face your fears and overcome them.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28So?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31The rule for imaginary friends is simple.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Be there when your child needs you and leave when they don't.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36But I do need you, Buddy.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41No, you don't. Yes, I do!
0:23:41 > 0:23:45There's no point arguing with me, Roy. I'm your imaginary friend.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I know what you need better than you ever could.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51If that's true, why did you show up two days ago?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Because you were stressed out.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I came to help you have fun and relax.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59But I've been stressed out loads of times in the last seven years.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Remember when I turned into a dog?
0:24:01 > 0:24:07Or when I was 50-foot tall, or I had a talking spot?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10How come you didn't help me then?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Buddy? Roy!
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Look out behind you! FOOTSTEPS PITTER-PATTER
0:24:15 > 0:24:16You're right, Roy.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20You didn't need my help. You would have been fine without me.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I broke the rules.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Why?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27I just wanted to see you one last time.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Buddy, it doesn't matter if we never see each other again,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33you'll always be my best friend.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Thanks, Roy.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Come on, we're going home. But...
0:24:37 > 0:24:40I need you to say goodbye to all the people who love you.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41OK, then, Roy.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Roy? Are you in there, love?
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Roy!
0:24:44 > 0:24:47Look out!
0:24:47 > 0:24:48Boo!
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Right. Aw, Roy, am I glad to see you, love.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56That was a close one, wasn't it? Boo-ba-doo.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Oh, maybe not close enough!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Ba-da boop-boop, ba-da boop-boop-boop.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03What's he saying, Roy? He says he wants to say goodbye.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Boo, ba-da boop. Boop. Ooh.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Beep-boop, ba-da-ba-da, beep.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Erm, Miss...
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I know he's expelled and all, but Buddy just wanted to say goodbye.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Oh, yeah, sure. Of course. Yup.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Thanks, Miss. Buddy?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Hey, beep. ALL: BUDDY!

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Beep. CLASS: "Sorry I wrecked your school."
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Apology accepted, Buddy.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Will we ever see him again?
0:25:50 > 0:25:54Ah, you're still here.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Ba-da-dee, hee-hee.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01I thought your little friend might...for you.
