A boy with dark hair wears a yellow shirt.

The boy says, HI, I’M DANIEL.
IF I COULD BE ANYTHING,
I’D BE A PARAMEDIC!

Opening sequence. In a montage, different kids experience an imaginative world drawn around them. A girl wears an apron and chef’s hat as she snorkels past mermaids and fish holding a tray of cupcakes. A boy wears a suit while he stands at a podium drawn in front of him. Another looks at a map with a magnifying glass. A girl wears a police uniform while another does a cartwheel. A boy wears safety goggles and a boy wears a tie.

[Upbeat music]

A voice sings, IMAGINE, IMAGINE, IMAGINE.

A female voice sings, IMAGINE POWERFUL.
IMAGINE COMICAL.
IMAGINE MAGICAL.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?

Starring Daniel. Daniel stands at an easel. On a large piece of paper, he draws a paramedic.

In a voice over, Daniel says, HI, I’M DANIEL.
IF I COULD BE ANYTHING,
I WOULD BE A PARAMEDIC!

Daniel drives an ambulance.

He says, A PARAMEDIC RUSHES TO AN
EMERGENCY IN AN AMBULANCE
WHEN SOMEONE CALLS 9-1-1.
YOU CALL 9-1-1, ONLY WHEN
THERE’S AN EMERGENCY…
…LIKE A FIRE,
OR AN ACCIDENT!
THE CALL GOES INTO
THE CONTROL CENTRE.

In the control centre people sit at computers and talk on phones.

Daniel says, THEY GET ALL THE
INFORMATION THEY NEED
AND THEN THEY SEND OUT
THE RIGHT HELP.
THEY SEND OUT THE POLICE.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
OR AN AMBUANCE
AND A PARAMEDIC.
THAT’S ME!

Daniel smiles and points to himself.

He says, THEY WOULD CALL ME
AT THE AMBULANCE STATION.

Daniel holds up a radio.

He says, ROGER THAT. I’M ON MY WAY.
“ROGER THAT”
IS WALKIE-TALKIE TALK –
WHICH MEANS “I UNDERSTAND”.

Daniel gives two thumbs up. He climbs into an ambulance.

Daniel says, PARAMEDICS ALWAYS
WORK IN PAIRS.
I WOULD HAVE A PARTNER
AND WE WOULD WORK AS A TEAM.

A woman climbs into the ambulance beside Daniel. They high five.

Daniel says, AS A PARAMEDIC, I WOULD
LOVE DRIVING THE AMBULANCE.
I WOULD HAVE TO BE A VERY GOOD
AND VERY SAFE DRIVER.
I WOULD TURN ON THE SIREN
AND FLASH MY LIGHTS
TO WARN OTHERS
THAT I’M COMING
THROUGH REALLY FAST!

Drivers wave to the ambulance from their cars parked on the other side of the road.

Daniel says, DRIVERS WOULD PULL OVER
TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD
SO THAT I COULD GET TO
THE EMERGENCY FASTER.

A squirrel on the road quickly leaps out of the way as Daniel drives the ambulance through the city.

Daniel says, MY PARTNER AND I WOULD
HELP A LITTLE GIRL
WHO FEELS DIZZY
IN THE HOT SUN.
SHE MAY HAVE A HEAT STROKE.
HEAT STROKE COULD HAPPEN IF YOU
DON’T DRINK ENOUGH WATER
OR WEAR A HOT
ON A VERY HOT DAY.
I CARRY MY MEDICAL
BAG WITH ME.

Daniel holds up a medical bag.

Daniel says, IT WOULD HAVE WHAT I NEED
TO HELP PEOPLE IN AN EMERGENCY.
WHEN SOMEONE HAS HEAT STROKE
IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET THEM OUT
OF THE SUN AND THE HEAT
RIGHT AWAY.
AS A PARAMEDIC,
I’D FIRST CHECK TO SEE
IF SHE’S OKAY TO MOVE.
THEN I WOULD HELP HER MOVE
TO A SHADY, COOL PLACE.
I WOULD USE MY STETHOSCOPE
TO LISTEN TO HER HEART BEAT.

He places the scope on her chest and listens to her heart.

Daniel says, HER HEART SOUNDS GOOD.
I WOULD HAVE HER DRINK WATER
TO HELP COOL DOWN HER BODY
AND KEEP HER HYDRATED.

A crowd cheers for Daniel and he answers his walkie-talkie. Daniel imitates radio sounds.

Daniel says, ANOTHER CALL!
A PARAMEDIC IS ALWAYS BUSY.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT
EMERGENCY WILL HAPPEN NEXT!

He arrives at a burning house.

Daniel says, WE’D BE THERE TO PROVIDE
HELP TO THE FIREFIGHTERS.
THEY RESCUED EVERYONE
OUT OF THE HOUSE,
BUT ONE FIREFIGHTER
NEEDS OXYGEN.

Daniel kneels beside a firefighter laying on the ground.

Daniel says, WE BREATH OXYGEN SO
IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT.
THE AMBULANCE WOULD HAVE
ALL OF THE IMPORTANT EQUIPMENT
WE WOULD NEED IN AN EMERGENCY.
LIKE OXYGEN.

Daniel grabs an oxygen tank from the ambulance.

Daniel says, WE WOULD HELP THE FIREFIGHTER
ONTO A STRETCHER.
IT’S A HOSPITAL BED ON WHEELS
SO THAT WE CAN WHEEL
HIM ONTO THE AMBULANCE
AND THEN INTO THE HOSPITAL.
I WOULD PLACE A MASK ON
THE FIREFIGHTER’S MOUTH
AND GIVE HIM OXYGEN.
WE WOULD RACE HIM
TO THE HOSPITAL
SO HIS LUNGS COULD BE
CHECKED BY DOCTORS.
THIS WOULD BE A
BIG PART OF MY JOB.
GETTING PEOPLE TO THE HOSPITAL
QUICKLY AFTER AN EMERGENCY.
I WOULD LEAVE
THE HOSPITAL KNOWING
I GOT MY PATIENT TO THE HOSPITAL
AS FAST AS I COULD.
AND I HAVE A HELPER
WHO MAKES SURE
ALL THE PATIENTS WE SEE
RECEIVE A LUCKY, HAPPY ACORN!

He jumps for joy. Daniel’s squirrel helper holds an acorn in the back of the ambulance. Daniel pats his helper on the head. Daniel grins.

Daniel says, I LOVE BEING A PARAMEDIC!

A male voice sings, CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE?
CAN YOU IMAGINE THERE’S
A WORLD FULL OF FANTASY?
AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT
LOTS, IT BECOMES SO REAL.
DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW?
THAT YOU CAN DO
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO.
IMAGINE THIS OR THAT,
THINK OF SOMETHING NEW.
AND YOU CAN ALWAYS
CHANGE A THING OR TWO,
ANYTHING YOU WANT
IT’S REALLY UP TO YOU.
BA BA BA BA BA
BA DA BA DA
BA BA BA BA
BA BA DA BA DA
BA BA BA BA BA
BA DA BA DA
BA BA BA BA
BA BA DA BA BA
BA BA DA BA DA
BA BA DA BA DA
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?

Daniel says, I’M DANIEL, AND
I’M A PARAMEDIC.
IMAGINE THAT!
