00:31Get together and make things better By working together
00:35It's a simple message And it comes from the heart
00:39Oh, believe in yourself For that's the place to start
00:44And I say, hey, what a wonderful kind of day
00:49If you could learn to work and play And get along with each other
00:54Hey! What a wonderful kind of day
00:57Hey! What a wonderful kind of day
00:59Hey!
01:00Hey, T.W.!
01:03Hey!
01:04Whoa!
01:10Hurry!
01:11Pinky, keep your foot out of my mouth!
01:14Hold steady, I'm almost there!
01:20I smell food.
01:22It's me!
01:24I'm a cookie!
01:29We're all cookies!
01:30I always wanted to be a cookie.
01:32I always wanted to be an astrophysicist.
01:40I know you're in there.
01:44A glass of milk! That must mean...
01:46It's snack time!
01:48No!
01:55I know where you're hiding.
01:58We should have a choice of whether we get eaten.
02:01Cookies don't get to choose, silly.
02:03Wouldn't you prefer a piece of nutritious fruit?
02:06Fruit? Yeah, you should have that.
02:08What?
02:09I baked you, now I'm going to eat you.
02:12But that's not fair!
02:14Fair schmare.
02:15Whoever owns the ovens makes the rules.
02:17That's just the way it is.
02:19Look out!
02:25How the Cookie Crumbles
02:32What smells so good?
02:33I'm baking for the Elwood City Strawberry Festival.
02:37The biggest holiday of the year.
02:39Is it as big as Christmas?
02:41Does it have a bigger parade than Thanksgiving?
02:43Or bigger fireworks than the Fourth of July?
02:46Well, it's the biggest holiday this week.
02:50What's this?
02:52What's the Strawberry Festival?
02:54The Strawberry Festival was always your father's favorite holiday.
02:58That's him.
03:00All of Route 3 used to be strawberry fields.
03:04That's the big parade.
03:06And there's always as many strawberries as you can eat.
03:10Wow! Do I like strawberries?
03:13Of course you do, honey.
03:15Don't you remember you went to the festival last year?
03:18Looks to me like somebody had a good time.
03:23What is that doing there?
03:25Is it almost Strawberry Festival time?
03:28Yeah, it's this week.
03:30Oh, no!
03:33She must really hate strawberries.
03:36That's not her problem. Look.
03:38Remember, last year she won the strawberry dessert contest.
03:42So?
03:43There's a lot of pressure to beat.
03:45She only won because her father's the judge.
03:50She wants to prove that she won it fair and square.
03:53Not just because her name is Crosswire.
03:55She has to win again.
03:56But she has no ideas. It's making her crazy.
03:59Sometimes when I have no ideas,
04:01I just need to relax and do math equations.
04:04Then I get plenty of ideas.
04:06Sigh.
04:10Strawberry.
04:13Strawberry.
04:15Strawberries.
04:17Hi, Muffy. We came over to cheer you up.
04:19What have you got we can eat?
04:21Nothing.
04:22The best idea I've had so far is a strawberry with a banana next to it.
04:26I've got it.
04:28Strawberry meatloaf.
04:34I don't think we're helping.
04:36What did you enter last year?
04:38I made butter cookies and threw in a strawberry.
04:41Simple.
04:42I like banana. What if you add some banana juice?
04:47Did you try it with peanuts?
04:50Don't forget chocolate chips.
04:53Peach slices. Oatmeal.
04:55Banana. More bananas.
04:57Banana again.
05:00All right, then.
05:01You guys are right.
05:03Why was I worried about that contest anyway?
05:05Now, who wants to go see my new shoes?
05:12Good work, guys.
05:14We really cheered her up.
05:18When did you make cookies?
05:20These are the cookies you and your friends made.
05:23Oh, those were just joke cookies.
05:25Throw them out.
05:33Stop.
05:35These are delicious.
05:57Hey, it's my dad!
05:59Dad! Daddy!
06:01Hiya, kids!
06:03Some things never change.
06:08If we want good seats for the fireworks, we have to hurry.
06:12Look!
06:14Winner for a second consecutive year,
06:17Muffy Crossfire!
06:19Muffy won?
06:21How would you like to try the winning recipe?
06:24They're called Muffy's scrumptious snack-a-roodles.
06:27Hey, these are good.
06:29They're great.
06:31Congratulations, Muffy.
06:33Winning again is very gratifying.
06:36My father wasn't even the judge.
06:38Please put that in your paper.
06:41They printed the ingredients for Muffy's winning cookies.
06:44Chocolate chips, banana juice, and raisin.
06:47Hey, that's what we all did together.
06:50Cool.
06:52Where does she tell about how we came up with it?
06:56I don't see our names.
07:00She didn't mention us.
07:06We made those cookies and she didn't even mention us?
07:09Maybe she just forgot.
07:11Did you read about Muffy?
07:12We know.
07:14We did all the work and she got the prize.
07:17Did anyone see this? Can you believe it?
07:20These sneakers are on sale.
07:22Read this and weep.
07:25What?
07:27I said banana.
07:29Banana was my idea.
07:31Without me, there's no banana.
07:34I'm going to talk to her.
07:36Muffy's not here.
07:38She's in town posing for the bag.
07:40The bag?
07:43This will be the front of the cookie bag.
07:45Muffy made a deal to sell her cookies at the Sugar Bowl.
07:48She's going to make money off them?
07:50Muffy Crosswire!
07:54You're making me wrinkle my nose.
07:56No one wants cookies with a wrinkled nose on them.
07:59Carl!
08:00All right, kids. Clear the studio.
08:02No, no, no.
08:05Her Royal Highness gets all the credit,
08:07but her lonely subjects did all the work.
08:10And we're outside with our noses pressed to the window.
08:13She's going to be more famous than a donut.
08:22Muffy's Cookie Castle is the most successful store
08:25in the history of buying stuff.
08:29Every day a new Muffy's opens.
08:32She is more famous than a donut.
08:40Here she comes.
08:44Hold it right there.
08:46I'm sorry. There are no samples.
08:48You'll have to buy cookies like everyone else.
08:51Buy them? We made them.
08:53I did the math.
08:54We're responsible for 72% of the ingredients.
08:57I said banana. Banana was my idea.
09:00Without me, there is no banana.
09:03Oh, yeah?
09:04Well, who bought the ingredients?
09:06Who owns the oven?
09:07Who entered the contest?
09:09You're all just jealous.
09:13Are we just jealous?
09:15No. She's a bigger rat than Ratburn.
09:17Banana was my idea.
09:19Oh, stop with the banana already.
09:23Like I couldn't have won the contest without them.
09:27You'll need to bake thousands of cookies, so get started.
09:30Okay. As soon as you give me the recipe.
09:33The recipe?
09:34Oh, I don't have it written down.
09:37I can remember, though.
09:57Ugh!
10:16Okay, I wrote out the whole recipe.
10:19Now we can make our own cookies and drive that rat out of business.
10:22Um, guys?
10:24Did I hear a little rat squeak?
10:26No, it's Muffy. She's right there.
10:29How would you like to help me make more cookies?
10:32Banana!
10:34Why don't you just make them by yourself, like you did the last time?
10:37I'm sorry you feel like I cheated you.
10:40Now may I please have the recipe?
10:43Okay.
10:45You're going to give us credit this time, right?
10:47I don't think that's going to be possible.
10:51I don't get it.
10:52You're rich. You have everything.
10:54Why do you cheat for something like cookies?
10:56You don't know what it's like to be me.
10:58I have a reputation.
10:59As a dishonest rat.
11:01As a winner.
11:02I had to prove to everyone I could win it again.
11:05But you couldn't. We did it together.
11:08But nobody knows that.
11:09You know it, and we know it.
11:12If you care more about cookies than friendship, then go ahead.
11:19This is the right recipe.
11:21Yes?
11:24You didn't put any tricks in it so the cookies taste like junk, did you?
11:28Muffy, you can trust us. We're your friends.
11:31Great! See ya!
11:37I thought she'd choose friendship.
11:39Boy, was I wrong.
11:43I can't go in the sugar bowl anymore, knowing they sell those cookies.
11:47Wait up! I want you guys to have the first bag of cookies.
11:50I don't even want to look at those miserable things.
11:53Look! It says Muffy and Friends!
11:58Wow! Neat!
12:00So you finally realized honesty and friendship are more important than winning?
12:04Yeah. I'm sorry.
12:06My dad and I talked about it.
12:08He said a lie is a lie even when you get away with it.
12:11And being a car salesman, he won't stand for any lying.
12:16Since these worked out so well, let's start working on my recipe for next year.
12:20Whose new recipe?
12:22Oh, right, right. Our new recipe.
12:25I just have to get used to that.
12:27How about a cake? Or donuts?
12:29Banana. Lots and lots of banana.
12:36Hi, my name is Jonathan Maddy and we're at the Perkins School for the Blind.
12:41Today, three kids who are all blind and physically handicapped
12:46are going to show you how they made chocolate chip cookies.
12:51Number one, we're going to heat the oven.
12:54Alyssa is reading a Braille recipe.
12:56Drop onto the cookie sheet.
12:59Braille is a series of raised bumps that blind people feel with their fingers so that they can read.
13:07Put in the oven and bake for ten minutes.
13:15Marie and Caroline are the teachers today.
13:18One, two, three.
13:28Blind people depend a lot on sound.
13:33These kids are taking a spoon and then smacking it into the cookie sheet.
13:40If they heard a hollow metal sound, it was telling them that they most likely found an empty place on the cookie sheet.
13:50The cookies need to bake for ten minutes.
13:56And while the cookies are baking...
13:58Clean up, clean up. Everybody do your shit.
14:04Delicious.
14:06And that's how we make cookies at the Perkins School for the Blind.
14:16Arthur, did you see the parade?
14:18Parade? But it's raining out.
14:21It's a rain parade. The whole marching band is in raincoats.
14:24And there's a big float sheet like an umbrella. It's right out front.
14:32There's no parade.
14:35D.W.! Kate!
14:42Sometimes I really wish I was an only child.
14:45Life would be so easy. I could be alone whenever I wanted.
14:50In fact, I could use D.W. and Kate's room as my own private library.
14:58And I'd probably get lots more presents at Christmas.
15:06And best of all, I'd never have to compromise.
15:10Now we're going to watch the Bionic Bunny special, then a Bionic Bunny rerun, and then this tape of my favorite Bionic Bunny episodes. Okay?
15:20Arthur? Did you eat the last brownie?
15:25Actually, there is one good thing about having a little sister.
15:30D.W. ate it, Dad!
15:35Sue Ellen's Little Sister
15:50Go straight, Arthur! Straight!
15:54Wow! That looks like fun!
15:57Not when Arthur's steering. Last time he almost drove me into the lake.
16:02I can be your partner for the next race.
16:05Sorry, Sue Ellen. It's a brother and sister race.
16:08Maybe there's a contest for lonely children after this.
16:11It's only children, D.W.
16:14Give me an O! And a D!
16:17What does that spell? Lakewood! And we're going to win because we're real good!
16:21Francine, have you taken up cheerleading?
16:24My sister just taught me some moves. I thought we could use them during our really big games next year.
16:29Frankie, you have to raise your arms much higher on the O's.
16:33Like this?
16:35Yeah!
16:37Frankie!
16:39Frankie!
16:41Much higher on the O's.
16:43Like this?
16:45Stop! Come on!
16:59My turn!
17:03Dad, can I get on your shoulders?
17:06Sure, pumpkin.
17:08Honey, watch your back.
17:24Mom, Dad, I know what I want for my birthday. A brother or sister.
17:29Oh, well, if you had a brother or sister, we might not be able to go on all our great adventures.
17:35Aren't you excited to go to India this winter?
17:38Yeah, but it'd be a lot more fun with a brother or sister.
17:45Well, Chester, Mom and Dad aren't going to get me a brother.
17:49So I guess I'll have to get one myself.
17:51But where?
17:52I don't think you can buy them.
17:54Ow! Stupid bike!
17:59I guess Binky could be an older brother. He's big enough.
18:04He could certainly help me get hard to reach things.
18:16And best of all, he could give me advice.
18:19Like whether I should be an artist or an oceanographer when I grow up.
18:23Hey, Binky, stay right there! I'll give you a hand!
18:29An ocean what?
18:31An oceanographer, Binky. Someone who studies oceans.
18:34That's a dumb thing to study.
18:36Why don't you study something cool like worms?
18:40Gross! Besides, there's no such thing as a wormographer.
18:44Well, there should be.
18:46Hmm, maybe I can be the first one.
18:49Hey, you've given me some great advice. Thanks.
18:56Maybe my brother should be a little more helpful.
19:0035% of the ocean floor is covered with sediment composed of silt, shale, and schist.
19:06I don't think I want to be an oceanographer anymore.
19:10I thought you might say that, Sue Ellen.
19:12It is kind of dry, so I got this book on different trends in art.
19:16From Giotto to Rothko.
19:18If we look at chapter one...
19:20No!
19:26This is tough. Maybe I need a boy who already has a sister,
19:30so they know the right way to be a brother.
19:33Hey, what about Arthur?
19:37Want to look at my Space Wars cards again?
19:41Forget it. I think it's time to try something new.
19:45Like sisters.
19:51Hi, Prunella. Why are you wearing that really strange...
19:54Shh! My name's not Prunella. It's Newt.
19:57You can be... Toad.
20:00Toad?
20:01We're playing magic. We have to use special names or arcana.
20:04Mr. Simpsons, you're the one who's going to have to do it.
20:07Magic? We have to use special names or arcana.
20:10Mistress of the Dusk will be upset.
20:12Where are my assistants? Arcana is about to lose her cool.
20:16Quickly!
20:18For my first trick, I will need a hair scrunchie.
20:24Make that two scrunchies, in case the first one doesn't work out.
20:29Now behold the powers of arcana!
20:32Mistress of the Dusk!
20:34Hey, that's my scrunchie!
20:36Quiet, Isabelle!
20:38You must believe, Toad. It doesn't work unless you believe.
20:42There, mortal. Your headgear is whole again.
20:45The trick is complete.
20:47But this isn't mine.
20:49Oh, well, you can have it. A keepsake from the spirit world.
20:52But I just...
20:53I am being beckoned.
20:55Don't move until I return.
20:57Leany, taheeny, potato, canish.
21:00You will do exactly as I wish.
21:06Yeesh.
21:11Prunella, she probably just forgot about us.
21:14Can we please do something else now?
21:17Must remain still or be cursed.
21:21Ready for some lunch, kids?
21:23Egg salad's on the table.
21:25Where's Rubella?
21:26She went to the movies with some friends.
21:29See? I told you there was no curse.
21:32What do you mean? I hate egg salad.
21:35Then we had to play what Prunella wanted, just because she's older.
21:39I think she's the worst brother or sister I've ever had.
21:43Uh, but honey, she's not your sister.
21:46Oh, I know. I was just pretending.
21:48You really want a brother or sister that bad?
21:51But not an older one. Next time, I'm going to be the boss.
21:57Hey, Sue Ellen, you want to try my new video game,
22:00Fish Finder 6, with improved graphics?
22:03Actually, Arthur, I'm here to babysit.
22:05Huh?
22:07But everyone's home. We don't need a babysitter.
22:11Oh, well, could I play with D.W. for a couple of hours?
22:14What? Don't you know what D.W. stands for?
22:18Disaster warning.
22:20Her room's upstairs, right?
22:25She's going to be the perfect little sister.
22:28I just know it.
22:30Wow, you made a swan out of a piece of paper.
22:34You can do anything.
22:36For you, D.W.
22:38You're the best sister in the whole world.
22:41I know.
22:44Oh! Hello, D.W. How are we doing today?
22:47Piggyback!
22:49You know what? I brought all this pretty colored paper,
22:52and I thought we'd be able to...
22:54Piggyback!
22:56Okay. I suppose a little ride wouldn't hurt.
22:59Yay!
23:03Woo! Yippee! Faster, faster! Yay!
23:06Is your sister always this active?
23:09She's just breaking you in.
23:11Back up the stairs, Horsey. I want to go back up.
23:14Easy, D.W. She doesn't know who she's dealing with.
23:18Hey, D.W. I've got an idea.
23:21Let's play Simon Says.
23:23I'll be Simon.
23:25Simon says, hands on your hips.
23:27You said your name was Sue Allen.
23:29Yes, but now I'm Simon.
23:32Now, put your hands at your sides.
23:36Now, put your hands at your sides.
23:40Nope, you lose, because Simon didn't say so.
23:43Sure you did, Simon.
23:45I'm not Simon now.
23:47Well, then who are you?
23:49Daddy, there's a stranger in the house!
23:52Forget it, forget it. We'll play something else.
23:57Ha, ha, ha.
24:04This is juice. I don't want juice. I want orange soda.
24:08But orange soda doesn't look like tea, and this is a tea party.
24:12I don't want a tea party. I want an orange soda party.
24:15If I don't get orange soda soon, I'm going to cry.
24:18One, two...
24:20Here, D.W. I made this paper swan for you.
24:23It took me hours.
24:25Oh, the pretty birdie. I want to see it fly.
24:29No!
24:35Oops.
24:38Arthur, I'm sorry. I just can't take it anymore.
24:42Sue Allen, wait. I haven't finished your beauty makeover yet.
24:48Actually, she lasted longer than most babysitters.
24:53My room, my things.
24:56You know, Chester, being an only child may be lonely sometimes,
25:00but at least it's safe.
25:03Sue Allen, we've got a big surprise for you.
25:06It's a little boy.
25:09Oh, no.
25:11His name is Tenzin. He lives in Tibet.
25:14Wow, that's so exciting.
25:16My parents are going to help him go to school,
25:18and he and I are going to write letters to each other.
25:21My mom says I can think of him kind of like a little brother.
25:24Well, I think he's the perfect brother, Sue Allen.
25:27Why is that?
25:29Because he's 3,000 miles away.
25:52It's a simple message, and it comes from the heart.
25:56Believe in yourself, for that's the place to start.
26:01Start and I say hey!
26:03What a wonderful kind of day.
26:06We can learn to work and play.
26:09And get along with each other.
26:12What a wonderful kind of day.
26:15What a wonderful kind of day.
