00:00Hi, everybody. I'm here on the set of The Altos. You know, that TV show about the family
00:11life of a gangster? They've agreed to let me teach you a little something about television.
00:16Here is what's known as the bleep. Whenever you hear, it means there's something that
00:24you're not supposed to hear. Here is the person who is making the bleep. Watch and listen
00:30how it's used. This is terrible Apple Betty. It's bleep. My mother. Now, there was a woman
00:44who could make bleep an amazing Apple Betty. When she made it, the whole bleep neighborhood
00:51stood outside her house saying bleep that woman was. If it's okay with you, T, I'd
00:58like to give that pastry chef a taste of his own cannoli. Hey, none of you bleep so much
01:06as bleep unless I bleep say so. Capiche? Cut. And there you have it. Of course, the bleep
01:16doesn't exist in real life, only in television. But wouldn't it be great if it did? Then you
01:22could bleep out whatever you wanted. I can't believe it. That was the easiest catch ever.
01:32That's it. You're never playing on this team ever, ever again. In fact, you're never going
01:38to play on this team ever again. Or Arthur. Mom, Arthur just bleeped your favorite bird.
01:55And best of all, the bleep could be used when your mom and dad are going to visit your school
01:59and, huh? Hey, what's going on? Stop it. Stop. What? Oh. Oh. Bleep. Hey. Well, this will
02:23make a very nice present for Ethel, don't you think? Just wait here, sweetheart, while
02:28I go pay for it. Stop that. You'll break something. Whatever. That's enough backtalk,
02:50young man. You can forget about going to that concert tonight. What? You can't do that.
02:55I can and I have. Come on, D.W. I'm done. Is something wrong, dear? That boy just said
03:11this word that made his mom drop something. Really? That's strange. I know. I never heard
03:18it before. Do you know what it means? I don't know. What did he say? Well, she said he couldn't
03:25go to a concert. And then he said... What, dear? Oh. Never mind. Arthur, I have to ask
03:44you something. What does bleep mean? Wow, it happened again. You better not let mom
03:53and dad hear you say that. Why? What does it... Arthur, have you put away your... What's
03:59going on in here? Nothing. Okay. So you ready? Shh. Don't worry. It's imaginary. Okay. Since
04:18you know, tell me what it means. I don't know. I just figured you're supposed to drop
04:23something when you hear it. This is awful. How will I ever find out? Just ask your mom
04:29and dad. I told you. Arthur said never say it to them. Well, if you can't ask them, who
04:36can you ask? Nadine's right, honey. All you have to do is tell it to us. But what if it
04:44does something really, really bad? What could one little word do? Okay.
05:15Bad idea, Nadine. It makes people break things. Oh, no. My Danger Ranger belt buckle just
05:31exploded. My eyes. My eyes. Guess she doesn't watch cable TV. Wow. So I can just say it
05:41just like that? No, don't. But you just said different when there's grown-ups around. That's
05:55what Arthur said. Why? Should we tell her? No. I'm not sure. No. Maybe. Okay. We'll give
06:03it a shot. Because it's a swear word. What does that mean? It means moms and dads hate
06:10each other. Why? Would you want to turn into a zombie slave for a day? A what? Yes, master.
06:22Your every wish is my command. No. Just try it and see. I did see. The boy's mom dropped
06:31a glass. Then what? I don't know. Grandma took me out of the store. Mm-hmm. If you're
06:42happy and you know it, clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
06:48If you're happy and you know it and you really want to show it. If you're happy and you know
06:54it, clap your hands. If you're happy and you know it and you really want... Yes, DW. Your
07:04every wish is my command. Can I have a soda? Wow. How about letting us watch TV? Any other
07:22wishes? DW, are you all right? Huh? I'm fine. Scaredy cat. I'm not. Guess she just wants
07:46to stay a baby all her life. Yeah. She doesn't deserve to know the word. Anything wrong, honey?
08:00Mom? Yes, sweetie? Um... Yes, what is it, DW? Oh, never mind. Did you say it yet? Shh.
08:16What if the Tibbles are lying? Wouldn't be the first time. But then what if they're not?
08:26I mean, what if every kid says it? Maybe that's how Arthur made Mom and Dad always treat him
08:32better than me. That's a very good point. If only I could test it. Cool. And they do whatever
08:45you say? Uh-huh. But you probably shouldn't say it ever. It's really only for us older
08:52kids. Right. Okay. By my calculations, she'll be saying it in the next five minutes. Make
09:08that ten seconds. Okay, DW. Time for dinner. I can't see. DW, did you hear me? Oh, there
09:20she is. Did she say it? I don't know. Her brother got in the way. Now, DW. Just a minute.
09:28No, not just a minute. Your dinner's getting cold. Oh, wait, wait, wait. DW? Grr. DW? I
09:40think she just said it. DW, are you listening to me? Uh-oh. Dora Winifred Freed. What did
09:58you just say to me? Um, can I have a soda? Tibbles. What are you doing? I'll get it.
10:19Um, Arthur did it? Well, you're off the hook this time because you didn't know what you
10:27were saying. But I hope you know now that swear words are not appropriate things to
10:31say, especially for three- and four-year-old children. Why? Because most people are offended
10:37by them. It's as simple as that. But why? What do they mean? I guess you could say they
10:43mean, I want to hurt your feelings. Good night, DW. Why didn't somebody just tell me that
10:51in the first place? Wait till the kids at school hear about this. You're a d**k. No,
11:00you are. You look like a d**k. You're a d**k. Well, did you say it to him? What in d**k
11:08did they do when you did? Thanks for teaching it to us, you d**k. Uh, guys, I think we need
11:16to have a talk about this.
