00:34It's a simple message, and it comes from the heart Oh, believe in yourself, for that's the place to start
00:43And I say, hey, hey, what a wonderful kind of day If you can learn to work and play And get along with each other
00:53Hey, what a wonderful kind of day Hey, what a wonderful kind of day Hey!
00:59Hey, D.W.!
01:02Hey!
01:09Look deep into my eyes and I will read your mind
01:14Deep, deep
01:18Aha! I know what you're thinking. You want the show to start.
01:22Okay, so maybe I can't read minds, but what if I could?
01:26What if I knew exactly what people were thinking?
01:30I wonder what's going on in D.W.'s head.
01:37I'll put you in one of my dollies' dresses, and then we'll play house.
01:43Help me! Help me!
01:47Maybe I don't want to know what's going on in her head.
01:52Hey, I'll see what Pal's thinking.
02:02I think I could have guessed that.
02:06Mom and Dad, now this should be interesting.
02:12Arthur, what are you doing up? It's way past your bedtime.
02:15Oh, sorry. I was just wondering what you were thinking.
02:20Really? Honey, let's think the same thing and see if Arthur can guess what it is.
02:28All right, I'm going to bed. I think I like not knowing what people are thinking better.
02:36Sue Ellen's Lost Diary
02:46Lost Diary
02:52I see someone's going to be reading a lot this week.
02:55Wait a minute. I think I forgot something.
03:02Oh, no!
03:07But I must have left it here. It couldn't have just walked away.
03:12Oh, no!
03:15Pretty funny, huh?
03:17Hey, Sue Ellen. Yeah, this is really funny. Listen to this.
03:20I know what's in it. I wrote it. And there's nothing funny about stealing someone's diary.
03:27Hey, this isn't my diary. It's a joke book.
03:30What would I be doing with your diary?
03:33Well, it's gone, and someone has it. They're probably reading it right now.
03:42Hmm. And she seemed really upset. Why is Sue Ellen worried that I'd read her diary?
03:48Maybe there was something in it about you.
03:51About me? What would she write about me?
03:54Maybe she wrote all about the mean things you've done to her, like when you pushed her in the mud yesterday.
04:01Oof!
04:08Day 162. Francine is getting meaner and meaner. I think it's time I got her some help.
04:17But I didn't push her. She tripped.
04:19Oh, I know. But maybe she thinks you did.
04:24I came to you, Dr. Zimmer, because you're the world's leading specialist in mean children.
04:31I'm afraid your friend exhibits all the signs of acute ogre-ism.
04:38Ogre-ism, Dr. Zimmer?
04:40A disease in which the victim cannot control being mean.
04:45Notice the bossiness and the pushing.
04:52That's just like Francine!
04:54Then I am afraid there is no help for her. We must keep her away from the other children.
05:07But why can't I play with my friends?
05:09Sorry, Miss Frensky, but ogre-ism is very contagious.
05:13Besides, they probably don't want to play with you. You'd only be mean to them. Go fish!
05:18But I'm not that mean. Really, I'm not. I swear.
05:23And I don't have ogre-ism.
05:25You don't have what?
05:26That disease that Sue Ellen said I had in her diary.
05:29Francine, I said maybe you're in the diary. We don't know for sure.
05:33You're right. I've got to find out.
05:37She probably didn't write about Francine at all. I wonder what she did write about.
05:49I can help you look for it, Sue Ellen.
05:51Well, okay. Just don't read it if you find it.
05:54Hey, what if it was put away in these shelves?
05:57Maybe you should tell me what's in the diary. That way I'll know what section to look in.
06:02Oh, just thoughts, ideas, the beginning of a story.
06:05About what?
06:06Well, there's this girl who's a princess and...
06:09Hey, wait a minute! Nice try, Muffy, but I'm not telling you a thing. It's private.
06:16Boy, she really doesn't want me to see that book.
06:19Maybe it's because the story's about me.
06:24Once upon a time, there was a rich, beautiful, smart princess named Millicenta
06:30who lived in a tower with her lady-in-waiting.
06:33Oh, my princess, you are so fair.
06:37Well, I am just... okay.
06:40Oh, fair. Well, I am just... okay.
06:44Ow! Watch it! You'll give me split ends.
06:48Then one day, a fire-breathing dragon came to the nearby village and caused big trouble.
07:01Help us, rich, beautiful, smart princess Millicenta!
07:06Lady-in-waiting, we've got to do something!
07:09Fear not, princess! I'll handle it!
07:19Oh, no! Help! Help!
07:23If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.
07:36Ow!
07:42Oh, beautiful princess, thank you. I don't know how I'll ever repay you.
07:47Well, this perfume is $30 a bottle. You can start there.
07:52Hey, space cadet!
07:54Huh? You can't talk to me like that. I'm a princess.
07:59Okay, whatever. Just quit blocking the shelf.
08:03Oh, sorry, Binky. I was just thinking about Sue Ellen's diary.
08:08It's so sad. She lost it, and it had the most wonderful story.
08:13A book? Private, written all over the cover?
08:16Yeah, that's it. Have you seen it?
08:19I thought it was just a regular book. I put it on some cart.
08:22What did it say? What did it say?
08:24I don't know. I didn't read it.
08:26Come on, Binky. Let's find that book. I have to read that story.
08:31It was right there. And the cart was right there.
08:35It could be anywhere by now.
08:37What's so important about it anyway?
08:39Because it's a diary, Binky. It's where people write down how they really feel about everything.
08:44Everything?
08:46Yep. Everything and everybody.
08:49Everybody. That would include me.
08:54Dear Diary, Today was no ordinary school day.
08:58It was the day I met the man of my dreams, Binky Barnes.
09:04He's handsome,
09:08strong,
09:11and talented.
09:13Now, if only I can get him to notice me.
09:30Dear Diary, Three months have passed, and Binky still doesn't know how I feel about him.
09:36Huh?
09:44I've tried everything.
09:48Ai, ai, ai, ai.
09:50Binky, Te quiero.
09:53I love you. I love you. Te quiero. I do.
09:56I really, truly love you. MuchÃsimo. It's true.
10:05If that's what she's written about, I'd better find that book before someone else does.
10:11Excuse me.
10:15Oh, great.
10:21Hey, what's this?
10:27She must have written about people she loves.
10:30Things are cool.
10:32Maybe she wrote down all the time we picked our noses when we thought no one was looking.
10:36Well, we'll never know what's really in it unless we find it.
10:40Have any of you seen Sue Ellen? I think I found her diary.
10:48Wait, I really don't think we should do this.
10:50I mean, would you want someone to read your diary?
10:53I don't have a diary.
10:55Arthur, don't you want to know what she said about you?
10:57Well, kind of, but okay.
11:00Who's going to read first?
11:03Not me.
11:04Not me.
11:05Definitely not me.
11:07Well, I don't want to be the first one.
11:09Maybe we should all read it together.
11:11That way everyone's equally guilty.
11:21I've had that diary since I was really little.
11:24No one's ever read it. Not even my mom and dad.
11:27Arthur, why'd you take it?
11:30I didn't. I found it on the book cart and I was going to give it back to you,
11:34but then we all really wanted to see what was in it.
11:37So we took it over there and we couldn't open it.
11:40Here you go, Sue Ellen. It's still private.
11:43Well, I know what I'm going to write in it tonight.
11:47What?
11:48That I have the best friends in the world.
11:51No, really. What are you going to write?
11:55Allow me.
12:00Sue Ellen, I'll be home tonight if you need any more ideas for stories.
12:05Here, Sue Ellen. Let me hold your books while you unlock your bike.
12:09I wouldn't want you to get hurt.
12:12Arthur, are you sure nobody read my diary?
12:15Don't worry, Sue Ellen. Nobody read it. It's still private.
12:18Well, that's good. You might have been embarrassed.
12:21I said some pretty nice things about you.
12:24See you later.
12:27Huh?
12:33Hello there. Allow me to introduce myself.
12:36I'm Arthur's heart. I'm the guy who pumps blood through Arthur's body.
12:41Hey, we late?
12:43No, come on. These are Arthur's lungs.
12:48Hey!
12:50Without them, Arthur wouldn't get the air he needs to breathe.
12:57That's right, Pumpy. Don't call me Pumpy.
13:03Did you miss us?
13:05The twins, Arthur's kidneys.
13:07We keep his blood clean.
13:11Hey dudes, where's the party?
13:15This is Arthur's intestine. He helps digest food.
13:19I'll be in the kitchen.
13:26Ah, here you guys are.
13:31You don't sound too happy, Stomach.
13:33Arthur eat too much candy again?
13:36Worse.
13:38Cake.
13:40Ooh. Without a stomach, Arthur couldn't eat.
13:44See how he treats me? No respect.
13:48Well, sometimes Arthur forgets to use one thing.
13:53Hey, that's right, Pumpy. Where's Arthur's brain?
13:57Don't call me Pumpy.
13:59I haven't seen him. Maybe we better call him.
14:02Hey, brain!
14:04Where are you?
14:08Sorry about this, folks. Looks like Arthur's forgotten to use his brain again.
14:14Yo!
14:16Hey, wrinkles!
14:20Arthur's me.
14:31What's that?
14:32Only the coolest ancient history project ever?
14:35Torque wrench.
14:36It's a chariot for a Shakespeare scene about Julius Caesar.
14:39What's a... chariot?
14:42It's a replica of an ancient horse-drawn vehicle used in war and processions.
14:49Done. Let's test it.
14:53But what? This is how the ancient Romans used to get around.
15:00Did the Romans need lots of bandages when they traveled?
15:06I anticipated this type of malfunction.
15:09The steering case is broken. We'll have to get a replacement wheel.
15:12Unfortunately, I'm supposed to go home for lunch.
15:15I can go get another wheel while you're gone.
15:17Okay, we can put it on when I get back.
15:21Can I come?
15:23No.
15:24Why not?
15:25Because.
15:26Because why?
15:27Because I said so, that's why.
15:29Hey, only Mom and Dad can say that. I'll ask Dad.
15:33Wait! I'm going to the dump to find an old bike wheel for the chariot.
15:37You don't want to go to the dump. It's all dirty and yucky and full of old, smelly junk.
15:42Mom and Dad said you're not supposed to go there.
15:46I'm telling!
15:48Okay, but then I'll have to tell on you for telling on me.
15:52Then I'd have to tell on you for telling on me for telling on you.
15:57Then I'd have to...
15:59Oh, never mind. You can come, but you absolutely can't tell anybody.
16:23This isn't fun.
16:25I told you not to come.
16:27We'll be out of here as soon as I can find a wheel.
16:29Help me look.
16:30Look, there's one.
16:32Down there?
16:34You're going down there?
16:36Yeah, no problem.
16:38I climb down and get the wheel.
16:40Piece of cake.
16:43Nope.
16:45Let's see.
16:47Wait.
16:49Here I go!
16:51I can't look.
16:56Oh!
16:58Wow!
17:05Yikes!
17:26Uh, watch out for that!
17:29Oh, no!
17:51Help!
17:54Help!
18:03You're bleeding!
18:05I cut my knee on that lima beans can.
18:09I knew lima beans were no good.
18:15Hurry up, Arthur!
18:17I can't wait to tell Dad about lima beans really being bad for you.
18:20He was wrong about them all this time.
18:22You can't tell Dad.
18:24Then he'll know we were at the dump.
18:26What about your knee?
18:28A deal is a deal.
18:30No telling.
18:39Coast is clear.
18:51Red alert!
18:53Dad at five o'clock.
18:55Take evasive action.
19:09Once I clean my cut, I can fix my pants so Mom will never find out.
19:13If you just tell her what happened, she could fix it.
19:17That's what moms are for.
19:19We have laundry and stuff.
19:21No!
19:26Everything's just fine.
19:28I can handle it.
19:32I can't read yet.
19:34What's this say?
19:36It says, I haven't tattled yet.
19:38Get well soon.
19:40Maybe this is one of those times when you should tell.
19:45I promised Arthur I wouldn't tell.
19:48I made a deal.
19:50Maybe instead of telling on him, you can get Arthur to tell on himself.
19:53Like you did when you climbed the tree.
19:55Yeah, but how do I...
19:57Where's Arthur?
19:59Rain! Thank goodness you're here.
20:01Wait till I tell you what happened to his knee.
20:06It's nothing to worry about.
20:08It's not that bad.
20:14Watch out!
20:16But you really hurt Arthur.
20:19What if it gets even worse?
20:21And then...
20:23And then...
20:25And then I'll have to feed Bal.
20:27And do all your other chores too.
20:30She's right. You could get sick.
20:34See, your skin is normally your body's first line of defense against invading pathogens.
20:40If it's breached by a cut like your knee, viruses and bacteria can get inside your body.
20:47Some cells send out messages that warn other cells of the attack.
20:52White blood cells rush to the scene and they destroy as many of the enemy cells as they can.
21:07Your body temperature could rise in an attempt to wipe out the rest of the enemy.
21:12In other words, you could get a fever and be really sick.
21:15By not telling your mom, you risk tetanus, encephalitis, conjunctivitis, staphylococcus, and all kinds of stuff.
21:22Yeah.
21:24Arthur, remember when I was a big, brave girl and I told Mommy and Daddy about going up the tree?
21:29Well, now it's your turn to be big and brave.
21:31You have to tattle on yourself.
21:34Okay, okay, you're right.
21:36Go get Mom.
21:38Just about done.
21:40And how are we doing?
21:42It stings a little, but I'm fine.
21:44Good.
21:46We'll need to give you a tetanus booster to be on the safe side.
21:49And you'll have to take antibiotic medicine for ten days, but the worst is over.
21:55What's a tetanus booster?
21:57It's a shot, but it won't hurt as much as your knee does.
22:01And you'll need to go to the doctor.
22:03What's a tetanus booster?
22:05It's a shot, but it won't hurt as much as your knee does.
22:08And it will protect you from getting sick from your cut.
22:11Okay.
22:13Great. I'll be right back then.
22:17You know, it's a good thing you came in when you did.
22:20Sometimes injuries can become quite serious if you ignore them and let them become infected.
22:25That's exactly what I said, Doctor.
22:28I told him all about Tetris and Indianapolis and all that stuff.
22:33Good for you. Maybe you'll be a doctor, too, someday.
22:37Then I can give Arthur his Tetris booster.
22:41Mom!
22:45I know it was hard for you to tell us about your knee, Arthur.
22:48And it was hard for me, too, to not tell.
22:56Anyway, I'm very proud of you for coming forward with the truth.
23:00Great! I gotta call the brains so we can finish our...
23:02Just a minute. I'm not finished with you.
23:08I can't practice pitching with you guys after all.
23:11Come on! Why not?
23:13I've decided to stay around the house.
23:15Help out with some chores and stuff.
23:17Huh? Why?
23:20Oh, you know, I figure I violated my parents' trust by going to the dump.
23:24I should probably think about what I did and stuff.
23:27Wow, Arthur! That's really adult of you.
23:30Arthur! Since Mom and Dad grounded you, I've decided to ground myself, too.
23:35So I can keep you company.
23:40We can start by reading Martha Mealy Worm together.
23:43Then we can play Confuse the Goose.
23:45You won't even miss Francine or the Brain or Bionic Bunny on TV.
23:49Well, any of that sort of stuff. Because you have me.
23:53And I say, hey!
23:55What a wonderful kind of day
23:57If we could learn to work and play
24:00And get along with each other
24:03You've got to listen to your heart
24:05Listen to the beat
24:07Listen to the rhythm
24:08Hit them on the street
24:10It's a simple message
24:12And it comes from the heart
24:15Believe in yourself
24:17For that's the place to start
24:20And I say, hey!
24:22What a wonderful kind of day
24:24If we could learn to work and play
24:27And get along with each other
24:30What a wonderful kind of day
24:32What a wonderful kind of day
