00:00Every day when you're walking down the street,
00:05Everybody that you meet has an original point of view.
00:11And I say, hey, what a wonderful kind of day
00:16If you could learn to work and play
00:19And get along with each other.
00:22You've got to listen to your heart, listen to the beat,
00:25Listen to the rhythm, rhythm of the street.
00:28Open up your eyes, open up your ears,
00:30Get together and make things better by working together.
00:34It's a simple message and it comes from the heart.
00:39Believe in yourself, for that's the place to start.
00:43And I say, hey, what a wonderful kind of day
00:48If you could learn to work and play
00:51And get along with each other.
00:54What a wonderful kind of day, hey!
00:57What a wonderful kind of day, hey!
01:00Hey, D.W.!
01:02Hey!
01:04Whoa!
01:06Oh!
01:08Whistling
01:16Hi, I'm Arthur.
01:18Duh!
01:20And this is my doggy-woggy pal.
01:23He's so smart, he does amazing tricks.
01:26Watch.
01:28Pal, sit.
01:30Lie down.
01:32Good doggy, pal.
01:34I found my glasses, Mom!
01:36D.W. took them!
01:38I'm not D.W. I'm Arthur.
01:41Duh!
01:43Give me back my glasses.
01:45Mom!
01:47I'm Arthur and some tiny little thing happened,
01:49So right away I'm calling for help.
01:51Whoa!
01:53What were you doing?
01:55Proving that I can be Arthur.
01:57I can do anything you can do.
01:59Oh, yeah?
02:01I bet you can't do this.
02:03My math homework.
02:05Ha!
02:07I win.
02:09I sat on my dog.
02:15D.W. Tailspins
02:22Throw it back.
02:24Like this, Kate.
02:27No!
02:29Try it again.
02:31I feel so alone sometimes.
02:36Don't touch my nose!
02:38Ah!
02:40Best book in the series is The General.
02:42Nah, I like the specific better.
02:45And what about The Random?
02:47It was so unpredictable.
02:49What are you talking about?
02:51Nothing that would interest you.
02:53We're talking about books.
02:55I like books.
03:00The Vegemorph books make the scare-your-pants-off books
03:02look like kid stuff.
03:04I just read the trilogy.
03:06Part one, then part one, part two,
03:08and part one, part three.
03:10You can't read it, D.W.
03:12No pictures.
03:15Do you realize I found something I can do
03:18that D.W. can't force me to include her in on?
03:22This is probably the greatest moment of my life.
03:26I don't want to read those dumb books anyway.
03:29Don't want to? You can't read.
03:32I don't need to read.
03:34I can make up better stories than those.
03:36Oh, yeah?
03:37Yeah!
03:38Oh, yeah?
03:39Yeah!
03:40Oh, yeah? You think you can do better?
03:42Write a story.
03:43Okay.
03:44I will.
03:45Oh, yeah?
03:46Yeah!
03:47Well, I'm out of here.
03:48This show's no sign of ending soon.
03:50Oh, yeah?
03:51Yeah!
03:53There you go. Write your story.
03:55I'll show you.
04:00I don't know how to write.
04:02If you can't write, you're wrong.
04:04Right?
04:08Then he laughed at me and said I didn't know how to write.
04:11Which is true.
04:13Brothers are so mean.
04:15I know what it's like.
04:17I had three older brothers.
04:20I bet one Arthur is as bad as any three brothers.
04:24More cookies, please?
04:27You know, D.W., you don't have to be able to write to tell stories.
04:31For real?
04:33A long time ago, stories weren't written down.
04:36They were?
04:39Oo-la-loo-lee-ah.
04:41Stories were told out loud.
04:44Like television?
04:46No.
04:48These stories excited your imagination and filled you with wonder.
04:52Oo-la-loo-lee-ah.
04:55And when you heard a good story, you'd pass it on.
04:59Oo-la-loo-lee-ah.
05:01Oo-la-loo-loo.
05:03Oo-la-loo-lee-ah.
05:06It was done without computers or expensive equipment.
05:10And without even writing them down.
05:16I don't have to know how to write.
05:18I can tell a story out loud.
05:20That's how they used to do it.
05:22Hmm. She's right.
05:24Hey, you know what story you should tell?
05:26The story of how I got pal...
05:28Nobody cares. This is my story.
05:31A long time ago,
05:33a brave warrior had traveled far away.
05:37And she really wanted to get home fast.
05:40And this warrior was a queen named O.D.W.S.
05:45But the sea got made rough by Poseidon.
05:48He was really mad at the queen.
05:51Aah!
05:57What did I do?
06:00The queen sort of forgot
06:02she took Poseidon's prettiest unicorn.
06:07How'd that get there?
06:10Why don't I get to have a unicorn?
06:13I'm a queen and everything.
06:15It's not fair.
06:19Aah!
06:21Aah!
06:23Aah!
06:25Aah!
06:30Whoo-hoo! We're doing it!
06:33Poseidon's wave can't hurt us.
06:36But big rocks can.
06:39Aah!
06:51We survived.
06:53But our queen is nutty.
06:55Don't you hate it when you get water in your ear?
07:00There's a good joke here about her being crabby.
07:04But I'm not saying it.
07:07The queen ordered her crew to help search the island
07:10to find a way home.
07:12Because nothing was more important to any of them
07:15than going home.
07:17Man, am I hungry.
07:20Here, try these.
07:23Just as the queen was about to eat the strange flowers...
07:27You know, what's the big deal about going home anyway?
07:31He's right.
07:33Why did we want to go home?
07:35And who are you?
07:37The weird plants they ate gave them...
07:39Um, um...
07:41It made them forget everything.
07:44The queen ran back to the beach,
07:46but she was too late.
07:48They'd all eaten the weird old plants
07:50and now they didn't want to go home
07:52or do anything worth doing.
07:54Oh, this is bad.
07:57Then it got worse.
07:59The queen found out it was...
08:02Cyclops Island.
08:08Cyclops brought them to his cave for lunch.
08:11And I need four lunch because he'd eat anything.
08:15We were going somewhere.
08:18I wish I could remember where.
08:22Ooh!
08:26Is this where we were going?
08:28Must be.
08:30Well, I'm going to take a nap.
08:32Travel always makes me tired.
08:34The queen had a smart plan to escape the cyclops.
08:45Hey, an eclipse!
08:49Hey, Cyclops!
08:52Everyone's squeezing out under the big boulder!
08:55Ah! They won't get away!
09:02The queen and her crew got in Cyclops' robo,
09:06which was just the right size to be their ship.
09:11Cyclops was too dumb to untie his ear,
09:14so he couldn't stop them.
09:17I'm bad with knots.
09:19That's why I don't wear sneakers.
09:28The queen reminded the crew that they had to go home.
09:31And they all said, Oh, yeah!
09:33And remember,
09:35but the way home was full of dangers,
09:38including the sirens,
09:40who played music that hippotizes you
09:42so you'll crash your boat on their rocks.
09:45That music!
09:47I must go to that music!
09:49Don't go there, Queen!
09:51You'll crash the boat!
09:53But it's so beautiful!
09:58They had to tie the queen to the mast
10:00until they passed the sirens' bell-binding song.
10:03It's the most beautiful music I've ever heard!
10:08But the worst danger was the last.
10:11They had to sail between a cranky monster
10:14and a swirlpool named Scylla and Charybdis.
10:17Hey, you can't say whirlpool,
10:19but you can say those big names?
10:21Quiet! It's my story!
10:23Don't you even think about coming onto my property!
10:27Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:29Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:31Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:33Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:35Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:37Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:39Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:41Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:43Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:45Somebody's old sock!
10:47Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:49Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:51Ha-ha-ha-ha!
10:53They were happy.
10:55They got past all the monsters,
10:57and they were almost home!
10:59But, oh yeah,
11:01they got hit by a thunderbolt before they got there.
11:05After so many years,
11:07the queen was finally home!
11:11I made it!
11:13I'm home!
11:15The first thing she did was run to tell her friends
11:17all about her adventures.
11:19Because that's a good way to tell a story,
11:22by telling it, like this.
11:24The end.
11:26Good story, huh?
11:27No, nobody fought crime with mutant potato powers or anything.
11:31That just proves you can't make up a good story.
11:33No, it proves you don't know what's a good story.
11:37Grandma told me that story.
11:39It's called The Odyssey.
11:41It's from long ago, and people still read it.
11:44I changed it a little to test you.
11:47Now I know when you tell me I'm no good,
11:49you're probably just as wrong about that as you are about this.
11:53Oh, what does she know?
11:55Buster?
11:57Hey, D.W.!
11:59I like that story.
12:01Would you tell me part of it again?
12:03Tell the part about Charybdis.
12:05Not that I really care.
12:08Okay.
12:09A long time ago, there was a warrior.
12:11Start with the Cyclops.
12:13He's the best. He eats everything.
12:15The Cyclops had only one eye right in the middle of his face
12:19and lived in a cave.
12:21And he ate stuff.
12:23He ate everything.
12:25He ate everything.
12:38Even when it's hard work,
12:40it's fun to give birthday presents to thine friends.
12:44Especially when thou knowest they're going to love it.
12:52Ow! My foot! My foot!
12:55Oh, much better.
12:57This gift is something precious.
13:01Very precious.
13:03It hasn't even been invented yet.
13:05How wonderful. We love it.
13:07Which of thee is this from?
13:09Both of thus.
13:11Two peasants, one present?
13:13We are displeased.
13:19My queen, me hopes thou willst like this
13:22a lot better than whatever yonder losers gavest.
13:34The queen don't likest anything.
13:43And I predict that you will shortly see...
13:46Prunella gets it twice.
13:49Hold still.
13:51Thank you, Mom. It's the most beautiful birthday present ever.
13:55And it fits, too.
13:57Here's one from me. Happy birthday, Prunella.
14:00A Polly Lockett doll. I really wanted one. Thanks.
14:04Come on. We have to get ready for the party.
14:07The best thing about presents is the surprise.
14:10I'm going to get so many surprises today.
14:15I can't wait anymore. I'm opening presents.
14:19Oh, another Polly Lockett. I already got one.
14:24Two presents? Two Polly Locketts?
14:27Oh, no. What if everybody gives me the same thing?
14:30I have to open another one fast.
14:32The Electric Bright Astrology T-shirt maker set.
14:35What a surprise.
14:38Okay. This is going to be a great party.
14:45Have a good birthday?
14:47It would have been totally perfect if it wasn't for that Francine.
14:53She refused to dance.
14:55My team would have won the egg game, but she wrecked it.
14:58And she didn't sing happy birthday to me.
15:00On your birthday, you're so special, holy cow.
15:05Now you're older, here's a present.
15:08Where's the ice cream? Feed us now.
15:11Why would she do that?
15:13She can't stand it when she's not the center of attention.
15:17Other than Francine, everything was great.
15:29Who are you?
15:30I am the ghost of presents past.
15:33Present past? You mean present past and future?
15:37No, presents past. Presents past.
15:42No, I'm just not getting it. I'm going back to sleep now.
15:46Presents! Gifts! I'm the ghost of birthday presents yesterday.
15:51Oh, now I get it. And who's that?
15:55This is the ghost of lunch tomorrow.
15:57Cold pizza.
16:00What do you want?
16:01Well, duh. To show you some stuff about your birthday presents that you don't know.
16:05It's not like this is a new concept. Come on, get up! Up!
16:09I don't believe in ghosts.
16:11Well, tough.
16:13Huh?
16:15I've graded your history test.
16:17This isn't my class. There's Francine.
16:20Hey, I bet you were supposed to haunt Francine for ruining my party.
16:23I'm a ghost. I don't make mistakes. Watch.
16:27Francine Franski, good job.
16:29Yes! Oh, Mama, I did it! Woo-hoo!
16:35I'm just happy.
16:37You have good reason to be. Just turn down your volume a bit.
16:41Is that the test I helped her study for?
16:43Just keep watching, okay?
16:50Prunella, I got an A on the history test,
16:53and it's all thanks to your helping me study.
16:55I'll repay you somehow.
16:57No problem. I'm naturally good with history.
16:59My sister Rubella says it's because I was a queen in a former life.
17:03What are you looking at?
17:05Polly Lockett. Isn't she cool?
17:08Polly Lockett has style and grace
17:11She keeps your belonging in her face
17:14Polly Lockett
17:16What could be more perfect?
17:18You can dress her up and stick your stuff in her face.
17:22I'd buy one right now, but they're so expensive.
17:28Prunella's birthday is next week.
17:30Didn't she just have a birthday six months ago?
17:32That was her half-birthday.
17:34For her whole birthday, she has to wear a dress.
17:37For her whole birthday, I'm going to get her something she really, really wants.
17:43Francine, did you look at the price?
17:46Whoa. That's way too much.
17:49Forget it. I'll get her a pack of gum.
17:51What a cheapskate.
17:53Wait.
17:56Prunella deserves this.
17:58I'm going to do whatever it takes to get it.
18:00I can't wait to see the look on her face when I give her this doll.
18:08I just need enough to buy a Polly Lockett.
18:10You've got it. You can give me a loan, right?
18:13Um, I guess. Okay.
18:23You'll pay interest, right?
18:25What?
18:27Uh, yeah, sure. How much?
18:3028.9% compounded daily.
18:32Yeah, okay, fine.
18:34I don't even know what that means, but why not?
18:37Muffy!
18:39I'm sorry, Francine. I can't do it.
18:42That's just the way I am.
18:44There are other ways to get money.
18:48So she began to do extra chores,
18:51including caring for her brother, Tiny Tim.
18:54Francine has a brother named Tiny Tim?
18:57Well...
18:59Could we please stick to the facts?
19:01Okay! Picky, picky.
19:12Phew!
19:17Ah!
19:32Francine! Aren't you going to play?
19:34No. I have to go home and wash my dad's car.
19:38Huh?
19:40Ow! Hey, I thought we were ghosts!
19:43The rules are complicated.
19:45Would you keep your mind on Francine, please?
19:48Huh?
19:53Thanks, Frankie.
20:01Ah!
20:11Look at the hard work, the self-sacrifice.
20:15It looks stinky.
20:17The stinkiness!
20:19Spectacular job, Frankie. I'm going to pay you double.
20:23Thanks, but I thought you meant you wanted me to wash your car.
20:27Hey, you can do that, too.
20:32Ah!
20:37Oh!
20:42I finally got enough money to buy a Polly locket.
20:45Gee, I wonder what's for lunch tomorrow.
20:48Tuna noodle casserole.
20:51When she went to buy it,
20:53she found out that for a few dollars more
20:55they would personalize Polly's sweater.
20:58But she doesn't have enough.
21:02Oh, no! She's begging her sister!
21:05Don't do it! Don't do it!
21:07She can't hear you.
21:09She can't hear me, but I can get hit in the head with a soccer ball?
21:12What kind of rules are those?
21:14I don't make the news. I just report it.
21:17And you'll clean my side of the room for a month.
21:20Okay.
21:22It's too horrible.
21:25I didn't know it said that.
21:31I never even looked at it.
21:34I can't wait to see her face when she gets this doll.
21:42I can't wait anymore. I'm opening presents.
21:44I look so cute in that dress.
21:47Oh, another Polly locket?
21:49I already got one.
21:51Oh, no! She worked so hard.
21:54You rotten, rude, ungrateful...
21:57What am I saying? It's me.
21:59Bingo!
22:01No wonder she was no fun at the party.
22:04It was all my fault.
22:06I stink.
22:12Ah! I'm back!
22:15Aww...
22:21Francine!
22:23Don't forget to clean my side of the room!
22:25Yes, Catherine!
22:28Francine!
22:29Hi.
22:30I wanted you to see what I put in my Polly locket's face.
22:34Hey! Isn't that the one I gave you?
22:37Yes. I forgot to thank you for it.
22:39I love it.
22:41And inside, where you're supposed to keep your most special and important thing...
22:45Me?
22:47I got my other Polly a personalized sweater, too.
22:50Number one cool friend.
22:52That means you.
22:54I want you to have this one.
22:56I couldn't.
22:57I don't need to. I want you to have it.
23:00Then we can play with them together.
23:02Wow, thanks. That's really nice.
23:05You deserve it after working so hard.
23:08That's really nice.
23:09You deserve it after working so hard to get one for me.
23:12Washing the garbage truck, begging your sister...
23:15Yeah. How'd you know that?
23:17Um, uh, well...
23:20Hey! You know how Polly locket works?
23:23That's where you keep your most special, important thing.
23:26I figured you'd want to put this in there.
23:28No, thanks. I'm going to put in a picture of my cat.
23:31Oh. Well, okay.
23:35Want to come in and eat lunch?
23:37Sure. What are you having?
23:38Peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
23:40Peanut butter and banana sandwiches?
23:42Peanut butter and banana...
23:44Hey! How did you know what I was going to say?
23:48Ha ha ha ha!
24:07Listen to the rhythm, rhythm on the street
24:10It's a simple message and it comes from the heart
24:15Believe in yourself, for that's the place to start
24:20Start and I say hey!
24:22What a wonderful kind of day
24:25We can learn to work and play
24:27And get along with each other
24:30What a wonderful kind of day
24:33What a wonderful kind of day
24:37What a wonderful kind of day
