00:00Every day when you're walking down the street Everybody that you meet Has an original point of view
00:11And I say, hey, what a wonderful kind of day If you could learn to work and play And get along with each other
00:22You got to listen to your heart, listen to the beat Listen to the rhythm, rhythm of the street
00:28Open up your eyes, open up your ears Get together and make things better by working together
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, what a wonderful kind of day If you could 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
00:58Hey!
00:59Hey, D.W.!
01:03Hey!
01:08You know what this is a picture of?
01:11Give up?
01:12It's a polar bear eating a marshmallow in a snowstorm.
01:15Hey! I'm over here! Hello!
01:26There you are!
01:29You know what's worse than walking your dog in a snowstorm?
01:34Walking your dog in a blizzard!
01:37But you have to walk your dog.
01:40If you have a dog, you know what I mean.
01:42Hi there!
01:44What?
01:46Mom says to come inside!
01:48I'm trying!
01:51D.W.!
01:53Mom!
01:54Hey, did you see a polar bear eating a marshmallow out here?
01:58Don't be silly. There are no polar bears in this part of the world.
02:04I've been hoping for snow, but this is ridiculous.
02:09Bark! Bark! Bark!
02:12The Blizzard
02:15And we'll be getting a light dusting of snow overnight.
02:18It's snowing! Maybe school will be closed and I'll be forced to play in the snow all day.
02:23The weatherman says it'll just be a light dusting. Now, get back into bed.
02:27Who wants just a little snow?
02:34There's snow everywhere! And it's still snowing!
02:37Why aren't you dressed?
02:39Maybe school is closed.
02:41The snow will stop soon and it'll be a sunny day. No school closings to announce.
02:47Why do weathermen never say the right thing?
02:57I was hoping school might be cancelled. I couldn't finish my dumb history report.
03:01You couldn't finish a one-page report about the pioneers?
03:06The pioneers didn't have cars or electricity or television.
03:10Those people were D-U-U-U-L-L-L-L-D-U-U-U-U-L-L-L...
03:16Sorry I'm late. Let's jump right into work.
03:20Bad news! The storm is getting worse!
03:23The buildings lost electricity, so the school is closed!
03:31Alright! Now I have extra time to do my history report.
03:34As you exit, hand in your history reports on the Pioneers.
03:40I could give you an F, but I won't.
03:47Why are you mad? He's not going to give you an F, right?
03:50No, but I have to write a three-page report while everyone else gets to play in the snow.
03:56That wouldn't have happened if you did it when you were supposed to.
04:01Hey!
04:03The Pioneers crossed the country and had hardships like bad weather.
04:07So what? Why didn't they just stay where they were and vent airplanes, then cross the country?
04:14Duh!
04:18Wow! It's so deep!
04:21This is nothing. I remember one time we had snow over my head.
04:25Wasn't that when you were younger than D.W.?
04:28Oh yeah, right.
04:33The storm's getting worse! Everybody inside!
04:46Welcome to Toyland, Kate!
04:50Dinner time, pal!
05:05Daddy! Power's out! Kat finished my report without a computer!
05:09I'm going to build a snowman!
05:12Daddy! Power's out! Kat finished my report without a computer!
05:16I'm going to build a snowman!
05:18Keep working!
05:20I bet I'm the only person in town not having fun!
05:25You fellas can't leave!
05:27I must go or I'll never get tomorrow's lesson plan prepared!
05:31And I'm hungry!
05:33By the power vested in me by Local 12 Maintenance Workers and Gym Teachers Union,
05:38I'm declaring janitorial law!
05:40You gotta help me drain them pipes! If they freeze, the school will be closed for a full month!
05:46No! We can't let that happen!
05:51There's going to be much more snow, and you're going to meet a tall, dark stranger.
05:57If you don't mind, I prefer an expert opinion.
06:00Another weather update from our meteorologist, Dr. Jake.
06:04There's going to be much more snow, and you're going to meet a tall, dark stranger.
06:10Back to you, Brenna!
06:12Mom! Can we go home now?
06:14No! Our electricity's out!
06:17Wanna know your grades in college?
06:19No!
06:22The only way to ever be sure the pipes don't freeze would be for us to stay here all night.
06:28That's the spirit! I appreciate your volunteering!
06:31What? No, I didn't mean... I'm... I'm hungry!
06:36I got plenty of beans for us all!
06:41Don't worry! There's a 0% chance of freezing rain!
07:02Mommy! Daddy! The town is exploding, and it's very pretty!
07:07I tried all night, but the plow's stuck. None of the roads can get plowed now.
07:12Daddy! Look! It's too cold to write! I have to stop doing my report!
07:18Yes, we still have power, Oliver. Francine can work on her report here.
07:22I'm going to pick up food. I'll get enough for everyone.
07:25Power is out across most of the country, and food is scarce.
07:29Is that all the milk, eggs, and bread there are?
07:32Yup. No deliveries can get through. Lucky for me, I got the last loaf.
07:36First come, first served. Sorry.
07:40The storm shows no sign of stopping. Things are going to get worse before they get better.
07:44Why eat beans when we have all this food?
07:48I wouldn't eat that junk if I was you. Besides, it's all froze.
07:54I... ate... beans...
07:57I... ate... school...
08:00Mr. Haney! He didn't mean it!
08:03I wanna go home... beans...
08:08Daddy! My hair dryer is broken, and the TV is broken, and the light in the kitchen is broken!
08:14Nothing's broken, Muffin. Our electricity is out.
08:17Make it be fixed, Daddy!
08:19No, I can't, poochy face.
08:21Very funny! Make it be fixed, Daddy! Pay someone!
08:27This is something money can't fix, Honey Wallet.
08:30Mom! Ready to go?
08:32I'll be ready to go as soon as I finish the driveway, hon.
08:42Hey! Do you guys have any heat at your house?
08:46Yeah! Come on!
08:49I never thought that just walking could be one of the hardest things I ever did.
08:56There's more coming! Mom invited anyone who needed to get warm.
09:00I couldn't buy any food, but everyone brought what they had. I'll mix it all up and make stew.
09:09I have less ideas than ever for this dumb report.
09:12Our house was freezing. I tried to practice the tuba, and my lips got stuck to the mouthpiece for two hours.
09:18We have no power. This is the most horrible time of my whole life.
09:24We're all gonna die in the heat!
09:26Thank you for that vote of confidence, D.W.
09:28I can still cook on the camp stove outside and in the fireplace.
09:32Oh, good. We won't starve. We'll just freeze!
09:37Put on your coat and mittens and huddle together near the fire.
09:40And don't try to practice the tuba.
09:43The radio says power's out everywhere. Should we check on the crosswires?
09:47If you want, but I'm sure they've found some way to keep warm that we can't even afford.
09:58I'll give it!
10:01I'll give it!
10:07No servants, no electric blanket. The weather is so rude.
10:12Did you bring any of the eggs, bread, and milk that you bought?
10:16No. Why?
10:18No reason. I'm sure we have enough stew for everyone.
10:22Hey, that looks just like you when you showed up earlier.
10:26Wow, they must have been freezing. No electricity, just fire for heat.
10:32Kind of like us. How did they ever do it?
10:36I don't think I ever could have survived as a pioneer.
10:40They had to be the toughest people in the world to live like this every day of their lives.
10:45And they didn't even know what tomorrow would bring.
10:48They had no weathermen or anything.
10:50The storm's going to end soon.
10:53Oh, give me a break.
10:56Hey, it stopped snowing. We're not going to die in the heat.
11:00I told you so. I knew the storm was going to end. I told you so.
11:05It's time to dig out. Who wants to help?
11:08But I think I know how they might have done it.
11:11See, a bunch of people working together can do stuff that no one of them could do alone.
11:16Like survive some tough times or start new countries and stuff.
11:26I bet the pioneers were people like us.
11:46We all still kind of need each other's help, but just sort of forget it a lot of the time.
11:51I'm finished!
11:53If your power's out, keep watching this station, and we'll tell you when to expect it to be turned on again.
11:59The power's back on!
12:10Hold it, young lady. A snowball doesn't belong in the house.
12:14But I want to freeze it.
12:16Why?
12:17Because this was the best day of my life, and I always want to keep a piece of it.
12:21Okay, but put it on a plate so it doesn't stick to the freezer.
12:34Dad, I got the ball. Let's play.
12:36There's no time for play. We have a lot of work to do.
12:39Oh, uh, hi, Mr. Ratburn. I'm looking for my dad.
12:43Very funny, Arthur. Now put down that ball and help me stuff turkeys for the Crosswire's big party.
12:51Mom! Mom! I went out to the garage to talk to Dad, and Dad's not there.
12:57He was out there a minute ago.
12:59Hey! Watch where you're going!
13:01What's going on? Where's my family?
13:04Arthur Ratburn, stop fooling around and get to work.
13:07Woof! Woof!
13:09No!
13:15What could be worse than dreaming that your teacher lives in your house?
13:19Remember, if you don't hurry, DW and I will eat all the delicious blueberry waffles your dad made.
13:28The Rat Who Came to Dinner
13:35What you got here is a ton of snow on your roof.
13:39Yes. Is the roof going to collapse?
13:42Nah, as soon as the snow melts, I'll fix the cracks. But this'll hold no problem.
13:48What a relief.
13:53Hurry! You might want to get this fixed right away.
14:01Saturdays with snow are the best.
14:04Ah, just in time for Dunce Patrol.
14:07Well, duh.
14:09Duh?
14:10Well, duh.
14:11Duh.
14:12Arthur?
14:13Oh.
14:14That show is so dumb.
14:16Mom, after a hard week at school, it's fun to kick back, watch some dumb guys,
14:21and know I won't have to see or think about Mr. Ratburn all weekend.
14:26That's what I wanted to tell you.
14:28Mr. Ratburn's roof collapsed and he has nowhere to stay.
14:32Oh, that's too bad.
14:34I knew you'd feel that way, so we invited him to stay here.
14:40Huh?
14:41Ah!
14:44What? You? He? Here? Who? He stay?
14:48Arthur's teacher's gonna stay here.
14:51He can't.
14:53Just until they fix his roof.
14:58It's too weird.
15:00My teacher in my house, walking on my carpet, drinking from my cups and touching my stuff.
15:05Blah!
15:06It's so wrong.
15:08School is at school and home is at home because they're not supposed to ever come together.
15:12Exactly.
15:14My parents have to understand that.
15:17How can you not understand? It's wrong.
15:20It goes against nature.
15:22The poor man has nowhere else to go.
15:24Are there no hotels?
15:26He's going to stay here, and we're all gonna make him feel welcome.
15:34So he's coming whether you like it or not, huh?
15:37It'll be just like taking a test. All the time.
15:43Quick! What's seven times eight?
15:50This is your brain, and this is your brain when you watch junky TV.
15:59Are you doing homework?
16:01I'm taking a bath.
16:03I'm sliding a waterproof pad under the door.
16:06Write the names of the continents in order of size.
16:29What you got there, son?
16:31This? Oh, stuff.
16:37Why are you putting a poster over a poster?
16:40You wouldn't understand.
16:42Is that to make your teachers think you're smart instead of kind of dopey?
16:46Go away.
16:50Hey, hey, hi, look at me.
16:52Arthur, come say hello.
16:54Hey, look at me, look at me.
16:56I really can't tell you how much I appreciate this.
16:58Hey, hi, over here.
17:00Hello.
17:01Hi, I'm D.W. Reed, Arthur's smarter sister.
17:05Mr. Ratbite, is it true what Arthur says about you hating all children?
17:09Here I am.
17:11Welcome. Come in. Hello.
17:13You're on my foot.
17:14Would you carry these up to Arthur's room?
17:17My room?
17:19He's staying in your room.
17:21Arthur, I set out your sleeping bag in D.W.'s room.
17:25You can sleep there.
17:26No fair.
17:31Those are some of my most very favorite books in the whole world.
17:36Spline Extrusion.
17:39The Copernican Universe Model?
17:42Didn't you just borrow those from the brain?
17:44I believe in using my brain a lot.
17:47Mr. Roper, you should see what's under here.
17:50No, I mean...
17:55I think I smell Dad making a cake.
17:58Cake?
17:59Did you say cake?
18:07Hey, Arthur.
18:12Oh, man, am I glad to see you.
18:15I can't come out.
18:16Why? Is he here?
18:19Yeah, I'll come down and let you in.
18:22No, no thanks, I... no.
18:26He's not here.
18:28There was no cake, Arthur.
18:30Mr. Rathead was very disappointed.
18:37Today we watch grass grow in real time.
18:42Just watching some educational TV.
18:45Fascinating.
18:47You look... different.
18:50I don't always dress like I'm going to school.
18:53So the school roof fell in?
18:55No, the roof to my home.
18:57But you're a teacher. The school is your home.
19:00Teachers don't live at school, D.W.
19:03We have houses just like you.
19:06The world seemed so simple before this moment.
19:10I thought you might enjoy watching one of my favorite videos.
19:13Oh, I'm sure it will be a very educational experience.
19:19Spooky Poo?
19:21Spooky Poo?
19:23I haven't seen this since I was ten.
19:27He watches cartoons?
19:32This is Arthur's heaviest school book.
19:38Shazam! No homework tonight.
19:41That's unbelievable.
19:44Shazam! No homework tonight.
19:47That's unbelievable. Can you teach me how to do that?
19:50No problem.
19:52Shazam! No homework tonight.
19:55Great, Arthur!
20:04More Spooky Poo?
20:08You made cake? For me?
20:13I guess I was wrong about Mr. Ratburn.
20:16Teachers can be sort of almost normal.
20:18Who would have thought this would turn out so great?
20:21Good night, Mom. Good night, Dad.
20:23Good night, Arthur.
20:24Good night, Mr. Ratburn.
20:26Good night, Arthur. Good night, D.W.
20:28Good night, Mr. Ratburn.
20:30Good night, pal.
20:32Good night, pal.
20:34Will there be more cake tomorrow?
20:38I bet Arthur's ready to run away from home.
20:41Here he comes.
20:44I asked my mom and she said you could stay at my house until Ratburn goes home.
20:48No thanks. It's not so bad.
20:50He taught me a magic trick. We had fun.
20:56I got a C- on that test.
20:59Well, you beat me. What'd you get, Arthur?
21:01He got an A. It's not fair.
21:03What do you mean it's not fair?
21:05She means we can all get A's if we brought the teacher home
21:09and our fathers made special cakes for him.
21:11I studied hard for that A.
21:13Oh, yeah, sure.
21:15We believe you. Really.
21:17The fact that the teacher lives at your house is just a coincidence.
21:20I'm being sarcastic.
21:25Hey, Buster. Want to come over and watch some Spooky Poo?
21:28It's funny.
21:29I don't think so.
21:31I don't want to get between you and your new friend.
21:34Want to go to the sugar bowl for some hot cocoa?
21:36Sorry, we can't. We're going to the sugar bowl.
21:40I'd like my books back.
21:42Sure. Come on over and get them.
21:44No thanks. Bring them to school.
21:46Oh, Fern asked me to give you this.
21:50Hey, what's with everybody?
21:52Teacher's pet, teacher's pet.
21:54Something, something, something that rhymes with pet.
21:58And that means you, Arthur.
22:06Hey, boy.
22:08Some days it's so good to get home and just forget all about school.
22:17Hi.
22:19Hello, Arthur.
22:25Rat and Rat Junior?
22:27And none of my friends will come here.
22:29And Binky called me teacher's pet.
22:32Maybe we should ask Mr. Ratburn to talk to them.
22:34Ah, no!
22:35How long ago were you a kid?
22:37That'd make it worse.
22:39I'm sorry I couldn't help but overhear.
22:41Because D.W. handed me this juice can and told me to listen.
22:45You know I wouldn't give you special treatment, Arthur.
22:48But what would you think if you were a kid?
22:51What can we do about what people think when they're wrong?
22:54I know! If you give me an F, it'll prove I'm not the teacher's pet.
22:58Just act normally, and soon they'll realize how wrong they are.
23:02But not as soon as if he gave me an F.
23:05Teacher's pet! Teacher's pet!
23:08If K gets you one A, will Pi Alamode get you an A plus?
23:13I hope my mother appreciates this.
23:16Arthur, I just found out I won't be staying at your house anymore.
23:19Really?
23:20I need to be closer to my house to supervise the work.
23:22So Francine's mother invited me to stay with them.
23:25Only for a week.
23:26Then I'll be staying at Binky's house.
23:28Everyone's so chill.
23:29Who knows?
23:30I may spend time at Monkey's, and Buster's, and Fern's.
23:33Mr. Ratbird in my house?
23:36Drinking from our cups? Touching my stuff?
23:39How could my parents do this to me?
23:41What was it like?
23:42How did he make it through it?
23:44Okay, first, if anyone calls you teacher's pet,
23:48just smile and don't let it bother you.
23:50Second, I hope you like spooky poo.
24:00I hope you like spooky poo.
24:01I hope you like spooky poo.
24:02I hope you like spooky poo.
