TVTranscript
00:00Every day when you're walking down the street, everybody that you meet has an original point
00:09of view.
00:10And I say, hey, hey, what a wonderful kind of day, if you could learn to work and play
00:21and get along with each other.
00:22You got to listen to your heart, listen to the beat, listen to the rhythm, rhythm of
00:27the beat.
00:28Open up your eyes, open up your ears, get together and make things better by working
00:32together.
00:33It's a simple message and it comes from the heart.
00:38Oh, believe in yourself, for that's the place to start.
00:43And I say, hey, hey, what a wonderful kind of day, if you could learn to work and play
00:50and get along with each other.
00:54And I say, hey, hey, what a wonderful kind of day, hey, what a wonderful kind of day,
01:00hey.
01:01Hey, D.W.!
01:02Hey!
01:03Whoa!
01:24Everyone loves a good secret.
01:28Something only you and your friends know.
01:31That can be cool.
01:34But you have to be careful.
01:36It can be hard to keep a secret.
01:44Okay, give me the key.
01:49Uh-oh, I can't find it.
01:54It must be here, I just had it.
01:59No, Barnes, don't do it!
02:09Oh, no, our secret is out.
02:15Yeah!
02:17Ride and snake.
02:19Arthur, I'm going to do those windows as soon as you're finished cleaning your...
02:24Arthur?
02:27Arthur!
02:28I asked you to clean your room before you went out to play.
02:31I'll do it later, I promise.
02:34And did you give Pal his bath?
02:39I'll do that later, too.
02:41I've got to go, Binky's counting on me!
02:44Eighteen, seventeen, fourteen, fifteen.
02:49Seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, okay!
03:03Ready or not!
03:15What's going on, Binky?
03:17We've been hiding for twenty minutes, you didn't even try to find us.
03:20I thought you were supposed to hide and then seek me.
03:23I don't believe it. Binky, how could you not know how to play hide and seek?
03:28Fooled ya!
03:31They don't call me king of hide and seek for nothing.
03:39Hey, stop tickling!
03:41Nobody's tickling you.
03:43Somebody's touching my back.
03:47Hey, a snake! Cool!
03:51Interesting specimen.
03:54He seems lost.
03:56Maybe he's just hungry.
03:58Let's take him to the sugar bowl, then we can all eat.
04:01I don't think cheeseburgers are a part of his diet, Buster.
04:05If he's lost, he'll be stuck out in the rain.
04:08Someone should take him home.
04:10Um, I don't think so.
04:12My mom and dad said they saw enough snakes in the Amazon to last a lifetime.
04:16After that porcupine incident, I can't bring pets in the house without written permission.
04:21Then I guess I'll take him.
04:23Are you sure your mom and dad will let you keep a snake?
04:27Well, they never said I couldn't.
04:30Besides, look at him, he wouldn't hurt a fly.
04:34What's that?
04:36Oh, it's just a toy.
04:38For Pal.
04:40Let me see.
04:42No! I mean, it's a surprise.
04:45Hmm.
04:57I'm done.
04:59What?
05:01I'm done. Can I go?
05:04You cannot go anywhere until you clean your room and give Pal his bath.
05:08I was just going to ask if I could go up to my room.
05:11Good boy. Get that work done.
05:17Speaking of pet care,
05:19what would happen if a small animal, like, say, a snake,
05:24just happened to follow me home?
05:27Could I keep it?
05:30A snake? Of course not.
05:35What if it were lost?
05:37Arthur, stop stalling. You've got a room to clean.
05:41I'll get it.
05:46Can we come in? It's important.
05:49Just for a minute. I have to clean my room.
05:51And you have to take the snake out of here.
05:54We know. It might be dangerous.
05:57Dangerous?
06:00According to my reptile guide,
06:02we may have found a poisonous coral snake.
06:05Remember that rhyme?
06:07Red band near black, venom lack.
06:09Red band near yellow, bite a fellow.
06:11I say the red bands were near black.
06:13I say yellow.
06:15Wow. We'd better check it.
06:21Hello, everyone.
06:23Hello.
06:25Arthur, you have work to do. You can't play now.
06:28They're not staying. Just have to get something upstairs.
06:35Oh, no.
06:37The red bands were near black, right?
06:39I knew it. It's dangerous.
06:41Worse than that.
06:43It's gone.
06:48I'm just scared that I might step on it.
06:51Come on, guys. We have to find it.
06:53How? Look at this mess. It could be anywhere.
06:58See?
07:00Nothing to it.
07:10Phew.
07:18Listen to them playing.
07:20I am going to have a serious talk with that boy
07:23about handling his responsibilities.
07:26Arthur, it's time for your friends to go home right now.
07:29You promised to clean this...
07:31Huh?
07:35All clean.
07:39Well, very good.
07:43What's wrong, Binky?
07:45That book is on the wrong shelf.
07:49That book is on the wrong shelf?
07:59I thought we were in trouble for a second.
08:02We are in trouble.
08:04The snake is now loose in the house.
08:11Think of it as a game.
08:13Whoever finds the snake wins.
08:15I forfeit.
08:17Stay downstairs.
08:19The three of us will cover this floor.
08:23Hey, I think I got it.
08:25Don't forget.
08:27It may be venomous.
08:29Pal, it's just T.W.'s jump rope.
08:40If you were a snake, where would you go?
08:43They're attracted to water.
08:46A sea serpent!
08:48A sea serpent!
08:54The power's out.
08:56Oh, sorry.
08:58I leaned on the switch.
09:00There it is.
09:02Brain.
09:03Sorry.
09:05So they helped him clean his room.
09:07What's suspicious about that?
09:09Would you clean one of your friends' rooms even now?
09:12There's a sea serpent in the bathtub.
09:16Okay, what's going on?
09:19Hi.
09:21D.W. left, so we're washing Pal.
09:24Why waste water?
09:32There!
09:36We shouldn't go in there.
09:38It's my mom and dad's room.
09:40You want them to find the snake?
09:42Good point.
09:44Snakes like baskets.
09:46Boxes are kind of like baskets.
09:48We have to search them all.
09:52Looking for something?
09:56Did you want us to carry these boxes downstairs?
09:59If you don't mind.
10:01That'd be very helpful.
10:08Oh, no!
10:14Well, it's not in the fridge.
10:16What happened?
10:18It's down here!
10:20Everyone, split up!
10:32The picture on this TV is getting worse.
10:41Hey, you fixed it!
10:43What?
10:53I know I saw a sea serpent.
10:55I'm going to tell.
10:57D.W., if you help me,
10:59I'll read you that book about the frog every night for a month.
11:02You got a deal, brother.
11:10Not now, Pal.
11:13I really don't like you kids
11:15playing hide-and-seek in the house.
11:17And would you please take that snake out of Pal's dish?
11:21Snake?
11:23Where?
11:26Look, his red bands are near his black ones.
11:29He's not dangerous.
11:31See? Told you.
11:33Hey, nice-looking king snake.
11:35I used to see these around here
11:37all the time when I was your age.
11:39You know, because of his coloring,
11:42some people confuse him with the very dangerous coral snake.
11:46How'd he get in here?
11:50Well...
11:56Think we should let him loose here?
11:58Dad said to let it go where we found it.
12:00But we found it in your shirt.
12:02There goes the greatest hide-and-seek player
12:05the world ever knew.
12:07Hey, want to finish that game of hide-and-seek?
12:10Only if you swear not to pull out a snake
12:12just when you're losing.
12:14Never again!
12:16I'm in!
12:2099... 98...
12:2297...
12:2496...
12:2695... 94...
12:34I can't stop going to Muffy's!
12:37The most perfect best friends I know
12:41are Francine and Muffy.
12:47They're always happy for each other.
12:49I got it!
12:51Oh, hooray!
12:53Got what?
12:55My acceptance to soccer camp.
12:57That's so great, Francine!
12:59You're my best friend, and I just had to come here
13:01and tell you first.
13:03Something great happened to me, too.
13:05La Mae Woosle shoes!
13:07Oh, that's so great, Muffy!
13:09And they like to do everything together.
13:11We need to celebrate!
13:13What should we do?
13:15Play soccer!
13:17Go shopping!
13:25That sounds great!
13:27I thought they were perfect best friends.
13:31Muffy's new best friend.
13:33Yahoo!
13:35I think we made the perfect compromise.
13:37A few hours of shopping,
13:39a little soccer,
13:41and then back to my place
13:43for the annual QVC Makeup and Jewelry Awards.
13:45Yeah.
13:47It looks like we've got a whole half hour
13:49of sunlight left.
13:51Oh, that's perfect, Francine.
13:53This way we miss the heat of the day.
13:55Okay, Muffy.
13:57Ready whenever you...
13:59What is it?
14:02What is it?
14:04A snake?
14:06It came right off my foot!
14:08There's a lawsuit in this somewhere.
14:12Daddy, shoe emergency.
14:14Soccer field.
14:16Maybe it's better if I let you practice alone
14:18so I have some time to tell Cook
14:20what hors d'oeuvres to make for your party.
14:22It's going to be so much fun tonight!
14:24Great.
14:26Oh, no! Watch out!
14:30Oh, hi, Jenna.
14:32Sorry. I got a little carried away
14:34with my kicking.
14:36It's hard when I have nobody to practice with.
14:44Poor Francine.
14:46She's already missed the awards
14:48for Best Designer Logo on a belt.
14:50Oh, no.
14:53She's already missed the awards
14:55for Best Designer Logo on a belt buckle.
14:57And now she's missing the salute
14:59to fake eyelashes.
15:01I'll get it!
15:03Oh, it's just the entertainment.
15:05Come in.
15:07I wonder if she's sick.
15:11So he said,
15:13you're impossible.
15:15And then I said,
15:17you're impossible.
15:19And then he said,
15:21well, I'm just going to keep redialing
15:23until I get through.
15:25Here.
15:31And the phone was busy
15:33all night.
15:35And she never came.
15:37Maybe she just doesn't care all that much
15:39about makeup and jewelry.
15:41That couldn't be it.
15:43She's always done whatever I wanted before.
15:45I know.
15:47After you left the soccer field,
15:49Right. And they kidnapped Francine, I suppose.
15:51No.
15:53Their laser beam malfunctioned
15:55and accidentally
15:57whacked a soccer ball
15:59into Francine's head and gave her amnesia.
16:01Muffy.
16:03Who?
16:13Well, you know,
16:15I've always thought soccer was dangerous.
16:18And remember when he kicked it right through the goalie's legs?
16:20Oh, hi, Francine.
16:22Oh, hi, Muffy.
16:24Sorry I didn't...
16:26Your party. I'm so sorry.
16:28I totally forgot.
16:30How can you possibly forget?
16:34I won't say I told you so.
16:36I have to talk to you.
16:58Hey, Francine!
17:00So, Muffy, what are you doing here?
17:02I'm here to see Muffy.
17:05Francine!
17:07So, Muffy, what did you want to talk to me about?
17:09Binky, how rude! Can't you see I'm shouting?
17:11Hey, Francine!
17:13You want a ride home?
17:15Oh, that's, um...
17:17I'll wait in the car, Francine.
17:19Hey!
17:21What's going on here, Francine?
17:23Well...
17:25And how did you just forget last night?
17:27I set up the whole award show party
17:29just for you.
17:31I know.
17:33And then Jenna said she had the new soccer bloopers video and...
17:35What?
17:37I said I was sorry.
17:39You never asked me if I really wanted to watch the Lipstick Awards
17:41and it was my day to celebrate
17:43and if I'm going to soccer camp
17:45I need to practice at least a little.
17:47Well, I can play soccer.
17:49I can!
17:51I just had a shoe emergency.
17:53You saw.
17:55Okay, if you want to play.
17:57I do!
18:03I did it!
18:05I'm walking the...
18:07Girls!
18:11Okay, you guys.
18:13I'm ready now.
18:15I got it!
18:17Come on, Muffy!
18:19Okay, I...
18:23Wait! Over here!
18:25I got it!
18:27Look out!
18:29Okay.
18:31That was a great workout.
18:33Now let's do something fun.
18:35What do you mean?
18:37This is fun.
18:39Maybe I should just find a best friend
18:41who wants to do the things I like to do.
18:43Then go ahead.
18:45I'm not stopping you.
18:47Well, maybe I will.
18:49Well, maybe you should.
18:51Well, maybe I...
18:53Watch out!
18:56You're trying to give me amnesia!
19:04Okay, Brain.
19:06Before I play with you,
19:08I have to ask a few questions.
19:10Question number one.
19:12Did you think it was fair when diamonds
19:14lost to emeralds in the QVC Jewelry Awards?
19:16Um...
19:18Correct!
19:20I was undecided, too.
19:22Question two.
19:24Uh...
19:26Black chenille gown with red vinyl belt
19:28and matching socks?
19:30I never thought of that.
19:32Oh, Brain, I'm so excited.
19:34This is going to be a great friendship.
19:36Okay, here's the last question.
19:38Don't worry.
19:40It's an easy one.
19:42Which is more important?
19:44Fashion
19:46or soccer?
19:48Sorry.
19:50I really thought you were going to pass.
19:53So, this is what failing feels like.
19:55Fascinating!
19:57No, I don't like soccer.
19:59Perfect!
20:01As much as I like taekwondo.
20:03Hi-ya!
20:09I feel shopping
20:11is a waste of time better spent reading poetry.
20:19Oh, neat!
20:21Test two.
20:23What is the best thing to do
20:25when Leo is rising from the house of Capricorn?
20:31Congratulations, Buster.
20:33You're the first person to pass the oral exam.
20:35Now it's on to the shopping test.
20:37That includes lunch, right?
20:39Of course.
20:41That's where we compare our purchases.
20:43Oh, look!
20:47How adorable!
20:49Ah!
20:51Clothes!
20:53Everywhere!
20:55Can! Breathe!
20:57Buster!
21:03Toys!
21:05Better now.
21:09I must say,
21:11you're the only candidate
21:13who's passed every test.
21:15You love spending money
21:18and you have a refreshing lack of tolerance
21:20for other people's stupidity.
21:22You're just about perfect in every way.
21:26This french fry's under fried.
21:28I demand a refund.
21:30Time to go, D.W.
21:32Thanks for watching her while I was shopping, Muffy.
21:36If only you didn't have to take naps.
21:40Only one name left.
21:42I've got to make this one work out.
21:44I can finally go on this ride
21:46without spinning it.
21:48Francine always spun it as fast as she could
21:50and it made me sick.
21:58Are you as bored as I am?
22:04You want to see
22:065,000 explosions and a supernova?
22:08Nah. Francine said
22:10it's too talky.
22:13How about slobbering idiots?
22:15Look! Let's go to this one.
22:17Francine loved kickball, kids.
22:21And that part where the girl
22:23kicked the ball into the sphinx
22:25and made it burp?
22:27Didn't that seem like something Francine would do?
22:29Are we going to shop or talk about Francine?
22:35Alright! This is way better.
22:37Who gets to kick off first?
22:39Nobody, I guess.
22:41Nobody?
22:43What kind of a game is that?
22:45There's Jenna.
22:47Maybe we can play doubles?
22:51Hi, Jenna. Where's Francine?
22:53Oh, she got weird today and went to the mall.
22:55She did?
22:57Yeah. You guys want to play?
22:59Yeah!
23:01Thanks. Maybe later.
23:03I thought we were going to play.
23:05You guys go ahead without me.
23:07Hi!
23:09Muffy!
23:11You're shopping?
23:13I'm not shopping. I was just looking for um...
23:15Me too.
23:17Look, I was thinking
23:19it's okay if you don't like to play soccer.
23:21And you don't have to shop with me.
23:23I mean, best friends don't have to be
23:25with each other 24 hours a day.
23:27Right!
23:29Hey, let's celebrate. What should we do?
23:31Um...
23:33Uh...
23:36Swimming?
23:40Yeah!
23:42Huh?
23:44Don't tell Muffy, but I think you're kind of
23:46more fun to play with.
23:48You're fun too.
23:50Hey, you want to see slobbering idiots?
23:52Who wouldn't?
24:06Listen to the beat.
24:08Listen to the rhythm.
24:10Rhythm on the street.
24:12It's a simple message
24:14and it comes from the heart.
24:16Believe in yourself.
24:18For that's the place to start.
24:20Start and I say hey!
24:22Hey!
24:24What a wonderful kind of day.
24:26We can learn to work and play.
24:28And get along with each other.
24:30Hey!
24:32What a wonderful kind of day.
24:34Hey!
