Transcript: D.W.'s New Best Friend / Freaky Tuesday
The show opens with a clip of Arthur and his dog walking down a street. Arthur is an 8-year-old aardvark. He has a round head with small round ears and short brown hair, and he wears glasses.
The scene continues when Arthur jumps into the cover of a book that a little girl reads on her bed.
The book is called "Arthur." It makes the girl laugh.
A song plays on as all this takes place.
The lyrics say EVERY DAY WHEN YOU'RE
WALKING DOWN THE STREET
EVERYBODY THAT YOU MEET
HAS AN ORIGINAL
POINT OF VIEW
AND I SAY HEY!
Arthur opens the bedroom door and says HEY!
The song goes on, and a bunch of smiling animal faces sing WHAT A
WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY
IF WE COULD LEARN
TO WORK AND PLAY
Later, Arthur and a friend ride their bikes wearing helmets and the song goes on AND GET ALONG
WITH EACH OTHER
Now Arthur takes a family picture as his parents, grandparents, sisters, and dog sit on the family couch.

The song goes on BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
FOR THAT'S
THE PLACE TO START

Now Arthur falls into a swimming pool and plays with friends.
The song continues HEY!

Now Arthur's sister closes her "Arthur" book and sees Arthur on the living room TV.
Arthur whispers HEY, D.W.
D.W. says HEY!
Arthur falls backwards and says WHOA!
The episode begins with Jane driving DW and Bud to school. Bud is a rabbit that wears a red hat, a green T-shirt, a blue vest and blue trousers.
DW says I HOPE THIS ISN'T A PUPPET
SHOW WITH STINKY SOCK PUPPETS.
THEY'RE THE WORST.
Bud says I SAW A SHOW ONCE WHERE A
PUPPET DRANK A GLASS OF WATER.
DW says IT WAS PROBABLY FAKE WATER.
Bud says NO, IT WAS REAL, BECAUSE YOU
COULD SEE HIM SWALLOWING.
HE WAS GOING...
Bud gestures drinking a liquid.
DW says WHAT KIND OF PUPPET SHOW IS
THIS GOING TO BE?
Jane says IT'S NOT A PUPPET SHOW.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE MAKING
PUPPETS.
DW says I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE A
PUPPET.
Jane says WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN.
D.W. says IT BETTER BE THE GOOD
KIND OF PUPPET.
A colourful slate appears. It reads "D.W.'s New Best Friend."
In a large classroom, Hana says THIS WAY FOR PUPPET MAKING!
Jane says HAVE FUN, YOU GUYS.
Hana is a bear with messy brown hair and pink bangs at the front. She wears a light blue short-sleeve jacket with various designs over a T-shirt.
Hana says HI, EVERYBODY.
I'M HANA.
I'M IN THE EIGHTH GRADE, AND I'M
SORT OF AN EXPERT ON PUPPETS,
SO YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS.
DW says SHE'S THE TEACHER?
Hana says ANYONE KNOW THE KATINKA MINK
SONG?
She sings SCRAPS OF PAPER
I'LL SAVE YOU FOR LATER
She says NUMBER ONE SONG IN THE COUNTRY?
ANYONE?
NO?
DW says WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?
Hana says WE'RE GOING TO BE USING
SCRAPS OF PAPER AND GLUE TO MAKE
PUPPETS.
IT'S CALLED PAPER MACHÉ, AND...
D.W. says PAPER MACHÉ?
UGH!
THOSE ARE EVEN WORSE THAN SOCK
PUPPETS.
Hana says HEY, SHORT STUFF, WOULD YOU
ZIP IT UNTIL I'M DONE?
THANKS!
DW says OKAY.
Back in the car, Jane says SO, WAS THE FIRST DAY FUN?
DW says WOULD YOU CALL PLASTERING A
BALLOON WITH WET PAPER MUSH FUN?
Bud says IT WAS SO STINKY.
SMELLS LIKE WET CARDBOARD!
DW says YEAH.
Jane says DID YOU LIKE HANA?
DW says SHE WAS MEAN AND DOESN'T COMB
HER HAIR.
Bud says I THOUGHT SHE WAS NICE.
DW says HOW CAN YOU LIKE SOMEONE SO
BOSSY?
SIT BACK!
I CAN'T SEE OUT YOUR WINDOW!
Bud says I GET A LOT OF PRACTICE.
The next day, DW paints a puppet head at the classroom.
Talking to Bud, DW says WATCH OUT!
BOSSY PANTS IS COMING!
Hana says NICE PIG.
Bud says IT'S A T. REX.
Hana says I KNEW THAT.
IS THAT PRINCESS PERKY?
DW says YOU KNOW THE PRINCESS
PLATOON?
Hana says YEAH!
PRINCESS PLATOON WAS FIERCE.
FOR A YEAR, I ONLY WORE PRINCESS
DRESSES.
I GOT THIS SCAR FROM SLEEPING IN
MY TIARA.
DW says I GOT THIS SCAR WHEN I FELL
ON MY GLITTER WAND.
Hana says I KNEW I LIKED YOU.
IS THIS REALLY YOUR FIRST
PUPPET?
DW says IT IS.
Hana says I'M IMPRESSED.
SERIOUS SKILL-AGE.
Bud says THIS IS MY FIRST PUPPET, TOO.
Hana says UH, YEP.
Now, DW talks to her mom in the car.
DW says TOMORROW, WE'RE MAKING PUPPET
COSTUMES.
HANA SAYS IT'S JUST LIKE MAKING
CLOTHES.
ONCE, HANA MADE A DRESS OUT OF
CHEESECLOTH.
Bud says WHAT KIND OF CHEESE WAS IT?
IF IT WAS SWISS, IT'D HAVE A LOT
OF HOLES.
DW says IT'S NOT CHEESE.
IT'S CLOTH.
LOOK!
IT'S KATINKA MINK!
DW points to a billboard on the street.
Bud says SHE LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE
KID PLAYING DRESS-UP.
DW says NO, SHE DOESN'T.
SHE LOOKS FIERCE.
HANA LOVES KATINKA MINK.
EVERYONE THINKS THEY LOOK ALIKE.
HANA SAYS HER HAIR IS MESSY
BECAUSE SHE HATES HER COMB.
SHE SAYS
Next, Jane and DW go shopping in a supermarket.
Jane says YOU PICK OUT SOME APPLES.
DW says OKAY!
She spots Hana and yells HANA!
Hana says HI!
PRINCESS PLATOON HIGH FIVE!
SPARKLE UP, SPARKLE DOWN,
SPARKLE ALL AROUND THE TOWN!
GUYS, THIS IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND
FROM THE PUPPET WORKSHOP.
DW says HI.
Two teenage girls look at each other and continue reading their magazines.
Hana says I'M SO EXCITED.
KATINKA MINK IS ON THE COVER OF
POP QUIZ.
ISN'T THAT FIERCE?
DW says WE JUST SAW HER ON THE
BILLBOARD!
Hana says NICE.
OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO BOUNCE.
SEE YOU TOMORROW?
DW says OH, OKAY.
BYE!
DW picks up a magazine and says MOM, CAN I GET THIS?
Next, DW hangs a picture of Princess Platoon in her bedroom.
DW says FIERCE.
Back in the classroom, Bud and DW work in their puppets.
(Bud roaring)
(Hana laughing)
(DW groaning)
DW says THERE'S NOT ENOUGH STRING TO
MAKE PRINCESS PERKY'S HAIR.
Hana says HMM.
WHAT ABOUT USING THIS?
Hana grabs brown yarn.
DW says IT'S NOT GOLDEN.
Hana says IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.
MAYBE THIS IS PERKY'S COUSIN,
BUT WHO IS SHE?
D.W. says HMM.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A BUG.
Hana says SHE DOES!
A TINY BUG PRINCESS!
DW says A LADYBUG!
Hana says PRINCESS LADYBUG.
WE'LL GIVE HER WINGS.
DW says AND A TIARA!
Hana says YES!
Bud says JAMES'S SEA MONSTER IS
FALLING APART.
Hana says JAMES IS, TOO.
BE RIGHT BACK, OKAY, PARTNER?
DW says OKAY, PARTNER.
I CAN'T WINK.
Jane drives DW back from school.
DW says AND THEN WE PUT ON PIPE CLEANERS
FOR AN ANTENNA.
Jane says YOU LIKE HANA NOW, DON'T
YOU?
DW says HANA SAID I WAS HER NEW BEST
FRIEND.
Bud says I THOUGHT I WAS YOUR BEST
FRIEND.
DW says YOU ARE, BUT YOU'RE NOT MY
NEW BEST FRIEND.
Bud says YOU CAN'T HAVE TWO BEST
FRIENDS.
DW says YES, I CAN.
Bud says THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE AT THE
TOP.
THAT'S THE BEST, AND THEN THE
ONE DOWN ON THE BOTTOM IS THE
WORST.
BEST, WORST.
DW says WHAT'S IN HERE?
Bud says MIDDLE-EST.
DW says WELL, THEN YOU'RE MY
MIDDLE-EST FRIEND, BECAUSE HANA
IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND.
Bud looks away.
Later, DW has a snack when Jane places a flyer on the table.
Jane says DO YOU THINK IT HURT BUD'S
FEELINGS WHEN YOU SAID HE WASN'T
YOUR BEST FRIEND?
DW says NO.
Jane says HE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT YOU
DON'T WANT TO BE HIS FRIEND
ANYMORE.
DW says HE LIVES DOWN THE STREET.
WE'RE AUTOMATICALLY FRIENDS.
She checks the flyer and says IS THAT KATINKA MINK?
Jane says SHE'S DOING A SHOW
IN ELWOOD CITY.
DW says I HAVE TO CALL HANA!
On her cell phone, Hana says YELL-O.
DW says HANA, IN ELWOOD CITY,
KATINKA MINK, SHE'S GOING TO BE
SINGING!
Hana says UH, WHO IS THIS?
D.W. says DW, FROM MAKING PUPPETS.
Hana says OH, LADYBUG!
HEY!
DW says KATINKA MINK, SATURDAY NIGHT
AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Hana says ARE YOU KIDDING?
DW says I GOT THE FLYER!
Hana says I AM ON IT.
THANKS, DW.
DW says THAT'S WHAT BEST FRIENDS DO
FOR EACH OTHER.
THEY...
Hana ends the call.
DW says HELLO?
HOORAY!
DW draws a flower on a T-shirt.
Then, talking to Pal, DW says GET UP!
GO BACK TO SLEEP.
DW removes Pal's collar and wears it around her wrist. Next, she puts on her flower T-shirt and soap on her hair.
DW says FIERCE.
Later, Bud says WHOA.
WAS IT WINDY IN YOUR HOUSE?
DW says THIS IS MY NEW HAIR.
Jane says I'M EXCITED TO SEE YOUR
PUPPETS TODAY.
DW says YOU'LL FLIP.
AFTERWARD, CAN WE BOUNCE OVER
FOR SOME ICE CREAM-AGE?
Bud says YOU SOUND LIKE HANA.
DW says REALLY?
THAT'S SO FIERCE!
DW walks into the classroom.
Hana says LOOKING GOOD, DW.
DW says OH, THIS?
JUST SOME CLOTHES I MADE.
Hana says REMIND ME AFTER, I HAVE
SOMETHING FOR YOU.
DW says IS IT OUR TICKETS TO SEE
KATINKA MINK?
Hana says OUR TICKETS?
DW says I THOUGHT I'D SLEEP OVER AT
YOUR HOUSE AFTER THE CONCERT.
Hana says WHAT?
I'M GOING WITH MY FRIENDS.
DW says BUT I'M YOUR FRIEND, YOUR
BEST FRIEND.
Hana says UM, YOU'RE MY BEST LITTLE
FRIEND, BUT THE SHOW'S FOR OLDER
KIDS.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE FUN.
OKAY, I-- I GOT TO GET THIS
THING GOING.
DW says YES, I WOULD.
HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
Bud says TO SIT WITH JAMES.
I GOT A NEW BEST FRIEND, TOO.
Hana says OKAY, NOW, LET'S INTRODUCE
OUR PUPPETS.
DW, YOU WANT TO GO FIRST?
DW says THIS...
IS PRINCESS LADYBUG, AND
SHE'S SAD RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE...
She sings MY NEW BEST FRIEND SAID I WAS
TOO SMALL
TOO LITTLE TO GO TO THE
LADYBUG BALL
MY DRESS WAS A MESS
AND THE HAIR ON MY HEAD
I CONFESSED I WAS STRESSED
CAN YOU GUESS WHAT I SAID?
YOU'RE WRONG, YOU'RE WRONG
HERE'S WHAT I'VE KNOWN ALL
ALONG
AS CLEAR AS THE RING OF A BELL
OR A GONG
MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I DON'T
BELONG
A video shows DW as Princess Ladybug in the story told.
She sings YOU'RE WRONG, YOU'RE WRONG
I'M RIGHT, I'M RIGHT
ALL DAY AND ALL THROUGH THE
NIGHT
I'M SMART AND I'M STRONG
AND I AM VERY POLITE
DON'T WANT ME ALONG
BECAUSE OF MY HEIGHT
YOU'RE WRONG
I'M RIGHT
I MAY BE A BUG
THE SMALLEST OF THINGS
AND WHEN YOU SHRUG
YOU KNOW THAT IT STINGS
BUT THERE IS A SECRET
A LADYBUG BRINGS
THE POWER OF FLOWERS
THE POWER OF WINGS
YOU'RE WRONG, YOU'RE WRONG
HERE'S WHAT I'VE KNOWN ALL
ALONG
AS CLEAR AS THE RING OF A BELL
OR A GONG
MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I DON'T
BELONG
YOU'RE WRONG
YOU'RE WRONG
She says THE END.
The kids and Hana clap.
Then, Hana says I'M SORRY I HURT YOUR
FEELINGS A BIT.
DW says A LOT!
Hana says I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
I STILL HOPE WE CAN BE FRIENDS.
DW says I DON'T KNOW.
Hana says I BROUGHT YOU MY OLD PRINCESS
DRESSES FROM WHEN I...
DW says REALLY?
FOR ME?
Now, DW and Bud talk in the car.
DW says DO YOU WANT A RASPBERRY?
IT'LL MAKE YOUR LIPS RED IF YOU
RUB IT.
Bud says OKAY.
ARE THEY RED?
DW says YEP.
I'D SAY YOU LOOK FIERCE, BUT I
DON'T REALLY USE THAT WORD
ANYMORE.
Bud says T. REX WANTS SOME.
DW says LADYBUG WANTS SOME, TOO.
They chuckle.
Kids say AND NOW, A WORD FROM US
KIDS.
Sophia has curly black hair in a ponytail and wears a blue T-shirt.
Sophia says MY NAME IS SOPHIA, AND THIS
IS MY SECOND GRADE CLASS.
Boy 1 says FASHION DESIGNING.
YEAH, WE'RE DESIGNING FASHION.
Sophia says DW TRIED TO BE LIKE
HANA, LIKE, COOL AND STUFF LIKE
THAT.
AND HANA MADE HER OWN CLOTHES,
SO WE MADE OUR OWN CLOTHES.
Kids sit on the floor painting T-shirts.
A blond boy says WE WANTED TO DO WHAT WE'D
LIKE, TO BE, LIKE, EXTRAORDINARY
AND, LIKE, NEW.
Sophia says MISS KARMA SHOWED US ALL THE
MATERIALS WE WERE GOING TO USE.
Miss Karma says THESE ARE IRON-ON.
Kids say WHOA!
Miss Karma says SPRAY PAINT YOUR
WAY TO FABULOUSNESS.
Sophia says AND MISS LILY GAVE US
SOME IDEAS.
Miss Lily says THIS IS SPRAY PAINT FOR
FABRIC.
A kid says WHOA!
Miss Lily applies a heart shape onto a T-shirt.
Miss Lily says AND YOU CAN DO
THAT ANYWHERE ON YOUR SHIRT TO
MAKE THE SHIRT EXACTLY WHAT YOU
WANT.
Girl 1 says WE STARTED DRAWING OUR
DESIGNS ON A PIECE OF PAPER.
Girl 2 says I MADE A UNICORN, AND I SAW
THAT SOPHIA WAS DOING IT.
AND NOW, WE BOTH HAVE...
Sophia and girl 2 say UNICORN SHIRTS.
Sophia says WE USED SCISSORS TO
CUT.
Girl 1 says I DECIDED TO DO FRINGE-Y FOR
THE SLEEVES.
Sophia says WHEN OUR SHIRTS WERE
FINISHED, WE DID SOME FASHION
PHOTOGRAPHY.
The kids pose wearing their T-shirts.
Girl 3 says I WORE A BACKPACK BECAUSE I
WANT TO LOOK LIKE A FASHIONABLE
SECOND-GRADE STUDENT.
Boy 1 says I WANT TO LOOK UNIQUE,
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS UNIQUE.
Girl 4 says IT MAKES ME FEEL SPECIAL.
Girl 5 says I DESIGNED MY OWN SHIRT, AND
IT MAKES ME FEEL PROUD.
Girl 2 says I CAN MAKE IT INTO SOMETHING
REALLY BEAUTIFUL OUT OF MY OWN
IMAGINATION.
IF YOU DO YOUR OWN DESIGN ON
IT, THEN IT WILL LOOK COOLER.
Kids say AND NOW, BACK TO
ARTHUR.
Another episode plays.
Ratburn says WAKE UP, BUSTER.
YOU'RE IN THE CLASSROOM.
YOU'RE NOT HOME IN BED.
Buster yawns and says OUR NEIGHBOUR'S DOG BARKS AT
NIGHT.
Ratburn says SLEEP IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR
BRAIN, AND YOU'LL NEED YOUR
BRAIN FOR 25 MULTIPLICATION
QUESTIONS.
Ratburn hands tests on the desks.
Arthur says AW, A TEST?
Ratburn says PENCILS OUT, EVERYBODY.
Buster says WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER TO TAKE
THE TEST OUTSIDE, ON THE SWINGS?
Binky says YES!
Ratburn says NO.
NOW, I WILL NEED TO DUCK INTO
THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE FOR A
MINUTE.
Buster says THE LOUNGE?
TEACHERS HAVE IT SO EASY.
Ratburn says IF THERE IS ANY TALKING
DURING THIS TEST, I WILL KNOW
ABOUT IT.
YOU MAY BEGIN.
Arthur says JUST WAIT.
THIS ONLY SEEMS LIKE A NORMAL
DAY.
Ratburn says SHH!
A spotted slate reads "Freaky Tuesday."
Buster's pencil lead breaks as he makes the test.
Buster says AW, MAN.
He walks to the pencil sharpener.
He says WHOA!
WHOOPS!
AW.
THE PENCIL SHARPENER'S BROKEN.
DOES ANYONE...
Arthur says BUSTER, NO TALKING.
JUST GO ASKING MR. RATBURN.
Buster knocks on the teacher's lounge.
Buster says MR. RATBURN?
(buzzing)
ARE YOU IN HERE?
HELLO!
WHOA.
A MAGAZINE RACK?
A COUCH?
NO WONDER THEY'RE ALWAYS IN
HERE!
A SNACK TABLE!
Buster checks a traditional Greek pie that glows in a pan.
He reads "SCIENCE EXPERIMENT
SPANAKOPITA-- COOKING WITH
LIGHTNING."
WHOA.
Ratburn says BUSTER, YOU'RE
NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN HERE.
Buster says THE PENCIL SHARPENER
EXPLODED.
Ratburn says YOU MAY USE THE SHARPENER IN
HERE, BUT THEN YOU MUST GET BACK
TO CLASS.
Buster says WAS THIS SPANAKOPITA
REALLY COOKED WITH LIGHTNING?
Ratburn says MR. RAMBACHER, THE NEW EIGHTH
GRADE TEACHER, IS DOING
EXPERIMENTS WITH...
WAIT.
STOP.
Buster says WHAT?
Ratburn says YOU'RE DUSTING
THE SPANAKOPITA WITH PENCIL
SHAVINGS.
They touch the pan at the same time and through a magical spell change their bodies.
Ratburn says WHAT IS
WRONG WITH MY HANDS?
Buster says WHAT'S WRONG
WITH MY HANDS?
THEY'RE COVERED WITH HAIR!
WHY AM I WEARING A TIE?
Ratburn says WHY IS MY POCKET FULL OF
ACORNS?
IS THIS A HALLUCINATION?
Buster says I LOOK LIKE YOU, AND YOU LOOK
LIKE ME!
Ratburn says HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Cecilia is a white rabbit with bluish-gray curly hair. She wears a light purple long-sleeve top with a pink collar and pink cuffs, with a dark blue skirt and teal high-heels.
Cecilia says HELLO, YOU TWO.
I HOPE YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING THAT
SPANAKOPITA.
Ratburn says WHAT?
Cecilia says MR. RAMBACHER AND HIS
EXPERIMENTS.
(chuckling)
WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT SPANAKOPITA
TASTES LIKE?
Ratburn says AN ELECTRICAL TRANSFER.
THAT EXPLAINS IT.
Cecilia says NOW, BUSTER, YOU KNOW YOU'RE
NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE
TEACHERS' LOUNGE.
Looking like Ratburn, Buster says SORRY, MISS TINGLEY.
Cecilia turns and looks at Ratburn, who has Buster's voice.
Cecilia says OH, NIGEL, YOU'RE HILARIOUS.
Ratburn says SHE IS TALKING TO ME, BECAUSE
I AM BUSTER, OBVIOUSLY.
BUT WE
BOTH NEED TO GET BACK TO CLASS.
RIGHT, MR. RATBURN?
Ratburn, who looks like Buster, winks his eye.
Buster says HUH?
OH, Y-YES.
I AM MR. RATBURN, AND WE MUST
RETURN FORTHWITH TO COMMENCE OUR
LEARNING.
WAIT.
I FORGOT MY PENCIL.
Ratburn says LET'S GO!
THE LIGHTNING-CHARGED
SPANAKOPITA MUST HAVE CAUSED US
TO SWITCH BODIES.
I SHOULD WRITE ABOUT THIS FOR AN
ACADEMIC JOURNAL.
Buster says IT IS SO WEIRD SEEING THOSE
WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH.
Ratburn says I NEED TO FIND MR. RAMBACHER.
YOU GO BACK TO CLASS AND WAIT
FOR ME.
Buster says BUT EVERYONE'S GOING TO THINK
I'M YOU!
Ratburn says THEY'LL BE TAKING THE TEST
FOR 20 MORE MINUTES AT LEAST.
Buster says OKAY.
Brain says WE'RE DONE!
Buster says EVERYBODY'S DONE?
Brain says WE'VE BEEN DONE FOR FIVE
MINUTES, AND WE CHECKED OUR
WORK.
HERE YOU GO.
WHEN WILL WE KNOW OUR SCORE?
Buster says CAN A SCORE... EVER REALLY
BE KNOWN?
Arthur says WHAT ARE WE DOING IN HISTORY
CLASS TODAY?
Buster says HISTORY?
UH, UH, IT'S... GOING TO BE
AMAZING... FULL OF FACTS AND...
STUFF.
EH... NECKTIES REALLY KEEP YOU
WARM, DON'T THEY?
LET'S OPEN A WINDOW.
PAINTED SHUT.
ANYWAY, THE MAIN LESSON IS...
ABOUT... UM... UH...
ANCIENT EGYPT!
WE WILL LEARN EVERYTHING THERE
IS TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST?
Ratburn runs to Rambacher in the hallway. He is a monkey with brown hair and glasses.
Ratburn says CARL!
I MEAN, MR. RAMBACHER.
Rambacher says HELLO, BUSTER.
Ratburn says IF YOUR LIGHTNING-COOKED
SPANAKOPITA CAUSED AN ELECTRON
TRANSFER, HOW WOULD YOU REVERSE
THE EFFECTS?
Rambacher says I SUPPOSE WITH ANOTHER CHARGE
OF LIGHTNING.
Ratburn says I KNEW IT.
(chuckling nervously)
BUT WHAT IF THE SKIES ARE CLEAR?
Rambacher says I'D USE THE LIGHT-O-TRONIC
9,000.
Ratburn says IN THE OLD SCIENCE LAB?
THAT STILL WORKS?
Rambacher says OH, YES.
SURPRISING QUESTIONS COMING FROM
A THIRD-GRADER.
Ratburn says IT'S, UM, A PHASE I'M GOING
THROUGH.
TODAY, IT'S SCIENCE.
TOMORROW, WHO KNOWS?
HERE, HAVE AN ACORN.
Cecilia says BUSTER, MAY I HELP YOU?
Ratburn says I NEED TO BORROW THIS
SPANAKOPITA.
Cecilia says YOU MAY NOT.
PLEASE RETURN TO CLASS.
Ratburn steals the spanakopita to do an experiment.
Cecilia follows him and says BUSTER BAXTER, THIS IS
DANGEROUS.
Ratburn says I'M WEARING SAFETY GOGGLES.
Cecilia says MR. RATBURN WOULD NEVER ALLOW
SUCH A THING.
Cecilia takes Ratburn down the hallway. They stop at the classroom.
Ratburn says WHAT IS GOING ON?
Francine says MR. RATBURN HAS BEEN SO MUCH
FUN.
Cecilia says MR. RATBURN.
The kids fan Buster recreating the Egyptian society.
Buster says IT'S ANCIENT EGYPT IN HERE.
THEY'RE BUILDING PYRAMIDS, AND
I'M THE SPARROW.
Ratburn says IT'S "PHARAOH."
Cecilia says MAY WE SPEAK IN THE HALLWAY?
Ratburn says ALRIGHT, CHILDREN.
ENOUGH SHENANIGANS.
As Ratburn looks like Buster, the kids look surprised at each other.
Ratburn says IS WHAT MR. RATBURN TOLD ME TO
TELL YOU.
Cecilia says AND TRYING TO ZAP IT WITH THE
LIGHT-O-TRONIC 9,000.
Buster says HUH.
I GUESS THAT'S WHY BUSTER IS OUR
FAVOURITE.
Cecilia says ON ANOTHER MATTER, HAVE YOU
SUBMITTED YOUR TEST SCORES FROM
TODAY?
Buster says NO.
Cecilia says NIGEL, REPORT CARDS CANNOT BE
FINALIZED UNTIL ALL THE SCORES
ARE IN... TODAY.
Buster says UH, I WILL GET RIGHT ON IT.
Buster walks into the classroom as Ratburn shows some slides.
Ratburn says THESE TEMPLES HONOUR RAMSES
II AND HIS QUEEN, NEFERTARI.
IS MISS TINGLEY GONE?
Buster whispers SHE'S RETURNING THE
SPANAKOPITA TO THE TEACHERS'
LOUNGE.
Ratburn whispers I'M GOING TO RECHARGE THE
SPANAKOPITA.
THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO SWITCH
BACK TO OUR OWN BODIES.
TAKE OVER UNTIL I GET BACK.
Buster says UH... ZAMBONI XI WAS THE
GREATEST EGYPTIAN SPARROW EVER.
HE INVENTED THE PLAYGROUND, SO
OUTSIDE, EVERYBODY.
TIME TO STUDY.
Binky says WHOO-HOO!
I LOVE HISTORY.
On the phone, Cecilia says HELLO?
HELLO?
I'M HANGING UP NOW.
Ratburn steals the pan again as Cecilia is on the phone.
Cecilia says I CAN SMELL THE ELECTRICITY AND
FETA CHEESE.
AHA!
BUSTER?
Ratburn runs away.
Scoring tests in the playground, Buster says ONE DOWN, 10 TO GO.
Binky says CAN WE PUT OUR INITIALS IN
THE WET CEMENT?
Buster says NO!
YOU'LL GET ME IN TROUBLE.
GO PLAY OVER THERE.
Francine says I TOLD YOU HE'D SAY NO.
Ratburn says HERE, EAT THIS.
Buster says A RUBBER GLOVE?
Ratburn says IT'S SPANAKOPITA WRAPPED IN A
RUBBER GLOVE.
I HAD TO LEAVE THE PAN BEHIND TO
THROW MISS TINGLEY OFF MY SCENT.
WE'LL EAT THE SPANAKOPITA AT THE
SAME TIME.
ONE, TWO, THREE, EAT.
FEEL ANYTHING?
Buster says NOPE, NOTHING.
Ratburn says DRAT.
ME NEITHER.
MAYBE WE NEED THE PAN.
Buster says WE DEFINITELY NEED SOME
PEPPER.
Ratburn says NO, THE PAN CONDUCTS THE
ELECTRICITY.
THAT'S WHAT'S MISSING.
Cecilia says BUSTER?
Ratburn says OH, NO, HERE SHE COMES!
Ratburn runs across the wet cement.
Buster says HEY, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO
WALK ON THAT!
Ratburn says SORRY!
Cecilia says DID I SEE BUSTER HERE?
Buster says WHICH ONE IS BUSTER AGAIN?
Cecilia says I FOUND THE SPANAKOPITA IN
THE LAB AGAIN.
Buster says THAT'S TOO BAD.
Cecilia says WHAT ARE YOU EATING?
Buster says NOTHING.
Cecilia says ARE YOU STILL SCORING THOSE
TESTS?
Buster says I'M WORKING ON IT.
Cecilia says THEY NEED TO BE DONE NOW.
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
Buster says JUST DON'T WALK ON THE...
Cecilia says AH!
Buster says --WET CEMENT.
Binky says HOW ARE YOU SCORING OUR
TESTS?
Buster says FOR GOOD PENMANSHIP, I DRAW
A CAR.
IF ALL THE QUESTIONS ARE
ANSWERED, I DRAW AN ANIMAL.
Binky says HOW COME I GOT A SMILEY FACE?
Buster says YOU DIDN'T DOT YOUR I.
Binky says AW.
CAN I DO IT OVER?
Buster says NO.
DON'T WALK ON THE CEMENT!
Binky says THAT'S NOT FAIR.
EVERYONE ELSE DID.
Ratburn places the pan on a pile of tests.
Ratburn says HERE.
Buster says HEY, NOT ON THE TESTS!
Ratburn says WHEN WE SWITCHED BODIES, WE
WERE BOTH TOUCHING THE PAN AT
THE SAME TIME.
LET'S TRY IT AGAIN.
ONE, TWO, THREE, TOUCH.
Buster says AH!
Ratburn says OH, SHOCK!
DID IT WORK?
Buster says NO.
I STILL HAVE WEIRD HANDS.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE STUCK LIKE
THIS FOREVER, ARE WE?
Ratburn says I DON'T KNOW.
Buster says I THOUGHT TEACHERS HAD IT
EASY, BUT THEY DON'T.
I'M GRADING PAPERS WHILE
EVERYONE ELSE IS PLAYING.
I'M HAVING TO SAY NO ALL THE
TIME.
Cecilia says THERE IT IS.
Ratburn removes the pan and the tests fly away.
Buster says NO, NO, NO, NO!
OH, NO!
Ratburn says WAKE UP, BUSTER.
Buster stops at the wet cement.
Buster says NOW, I'M STUCK.
Back in reality, Ratburn says WAKE UP, BUSTER.
Buster wakes up in the classroom and yells I'M STUCK!
Ratburn says YOU'RE IN A CLASSROOM.
YOU'RE NOT HOME IN BED.
Now Buster looks like Buster.
Buster says IT WAS A DREAM?
I'M ME?
NORMAL HANDS.
IS THAT REALLY MR. RATBURN?
Ratburn says PENCILS OUT, EVERYBODY.
TWENTY-FIVE MULTIPLICATION
QUESTIONS.
Arthur says UGH, A TEST?
Buster says IT IS MR. RATBURN.
Binky says CAN WE TAKE THE TEST OUTSIDE?
Ratburn says NO.
Buster says I NEED A TEST, MR. RATBURN.
He sighs and says ALL I WANT IS TO BE TAKING THIS
NICE, EASY, FUN TEST.
Ratburn says YOU MAY BEGIN.
Buster's pencil lead breaks and he yells NO!
The end credits roll as the theme song plays.
The scene continues when Arthur jumps into the cover of a book that a little girl reads on her bed.
The book is called "Arthur." It makes the girl laugh.
A song plays on as all this takes place.
The lyrics say EVERY DAY WHEN YOU'RE
WALKING DOWN THE STREET
EVERYBODY THAT YOU MEET
HAS AN ORIGINAL
POINT OF VIEW
AND I SAY HEY!
Arthur opens the bedroom door and says HEY!
The song goes on, and a bunch of smiling animal faces sing WHAT A
WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY
IF WE COULD LEARN
TO WORK AND PLAY
Later, Arthur and a friend ride their bikes wearing helmets and the song goes on AND GET ALONG
WITH EACH OTHER
Now Arthur takes a family picture as his parents, grandparents, sisters, and dog sit on the family couch.
The song keeps playing YOU GOTTA LISTEN
TO YOUR HEART
LISTEN TO THE BEAT
LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM
THE RHYTHM OF THE STREET
OPEN UP YOUR EYES
OPEN UP YOUR EARS GET TOGETHER
AND MAKE THINGS BETTER
BY WORKING TOGETHER
IT'S A SIMPLE MESSAGE
AND IT COMES FROM THE HEART
Arthur looks at the family album. He hugs his mum and jumps out to the city. He sees bikes, cars, and shops. He high-fives a friend that cycles by.
The song goes on BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
FOR THAT'S
THE PLACE TO START
AND I SAY
Now Arthur falls into a swimming pool and plays with friends.
The song continues HEY!
HEY!
WHAT A
WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY
IF WE COULD LEARN
TO WORK AND PLAY
AND GET ALONG WITH
EACH OTHER
HEY!
WHAT A WONDERFUL
KIND OF DAY
HEY!
WHAT A WONDERFUL
KIND OF DAY
Now Arthur's sister closes her "Arthur" book and sees Arthur on the living room TV.
Arthur whispers HEY, D.W.
D.W. says HEY!
Arthur falls backwards and says WHOA!
The episode begins with Jane driving DW and Bud to school. Bud is a rabbit that wears a red hat, a green T-shirt, a blue vest and blue trousers.
DW says I HOPE THIS ISN'T A PUPPET
SHOW WITH STINKY SOCK PUPPETS.
THEY'RE THE WORST.
Bud says I SAW A SHOW ONCE WHERE A
PUPPET DRANK A GLASS OF WATER.
DW says IT WAS PROBABLY FAKE WATER.
Bud says NO, IT WAS REAL, BECAUSE YOU
COULD SEE HIM SWALLOWING.
HE WAS GOING...
Bud gestures drinking a liquid.
DW says WHAT KIND OF PUPPET SHOW IS
THIS GOING TO BE?
Jane says IT'S NOT A PUPPET SHOW.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE MAKING
PUPPETS.
DW says I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE A
PUPPET.
Jane says WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN.
D.W. says IT BETTER BE THE GOOD
KIND OF PUPPET.
A colourful slate appears. It reads "D.W.'s New Best Friend."
In a large classroom, Hana says THIS WAY FOR PUPPET MAKING!
Jane says HAVE FUN, YOU GUYS.
Hana is a bear with messy brown hair and pink bangs at the front. She wears a light blue short-sleeve jacket with various designs over a T-shirt.
Hana says HI, EVERYBODY.
I'M HANA.
I'M IN THE EIGHTH GRADE, AND I'M
SORT OF AN EXPERT ON PUPPETS,
SO YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS.
DW says SHE'S THE TEACHER?
Hana says ANYONE KNOW THE KATINKA MINK
SONG?
She sings SCRAPS OF PAPER
I'LL SAVE YOU FOR LATER
She says NUMBER ONE SONG IN THE COUNTRY?
ANYONE?
NO?
DW says WHAT IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?
Hana says WE'RE GOING TO BE USING
SCRAPS OF PAPER AND GLUE TO MAKE
PUPPETS.
IT'S CALLED PAPER MACHÉ, AND...
D.W. says PAPER MACHÉ?
UGH!
THOSE ARE EVEN WORSE THAN SOCK
PUPPETS.
Hana says HEY, SHORT STUFF, WOULD YOU
ZIP IT UNTIL I'M DONE?
THANKS!
DW says OKAY.
Back in the car, Jane says SO, WAS THE FIRST DAY FUN?
DW says WOULD YOU CALL PLASTERING A
BALLOON WITH WET PAPER MUSH FUN?
Bud says IT WAS SO STINKY.
SMELLS LIKE WET CARDBOARD!
DW says YEAH.
Jane says DID YOU LIKE HANA?
DW says SHE WAS MEAN AND DOESN'T COMB
HER HAIR.
Bud says I THOUGHT SHE WAS NICE.
DW says HOW CAN YOU LIKE SOMEONE SO
BOSSY?
SIT BACK!
I CAN'T SEE OUT YOUR WINDOW!
Bud says I GET A LOT OF PRACTICE.
The next day, DW paints a puppet head at the classroom.
Talking to Bud, DW says WATCH OUT!
BOSSY PANTS IS COMING!
Hana says NICE PIG.
Bud says IT'S A T. REX.
Hana says I KNEW THAT.
IS THAT PRINCESS PERKY?
DW says YOU KNOW THE PRINCESS
PLATOON?
Hana says YEAH!
PRINCESS PLATOON WAS FIERCE.
FOR A YEAR, I ONLY WORE PRINCESS
DRESSES.
I GOT THIS SCAR FROM SLEEPING IN
MY TIARA.
DW says I GOT THIS SCAR WHEN I FELL
ON MY GLITTER WAND.
Hana says I KNEW I LIKED YOU.
IS THIS REALLY YOUR FIRST
PUPPET?
DW says IT IS.
Hana says I'M IMPRESSED.
SERIOUS SKILL-AGE.
Bud says THIS IS MY FIRST PUPPET, TOO.
Hana says UH, YEP.
Now, DW talks to her mom in the car.
DW says TOMORROW, WE'RE MAKING PUPPET
COSTUMES.
HANA SAYS IT'S JUST LIKE MAKING
CLOTHES.
ONCE, HANA MADE A DRESS OUT OF
CHEESECLOTH.
Bud says WHAT KIND OF CHEESE WAS IT?
IF IT WAS SWISS, IT'D HAVE A LOT
OF HOLES.
DW says IT'S NOT CHEESE.
IT'S CLOTH.
LOOK!
IT'S KATINKA MINK!
DW points to a billboard on the street.
Bud says SHE LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE
KID PLAYING DRESS-UP.
DW says NO, SHE DOESN'T.
SHE LOOKS FIERCE.
HANA LOVES KATINKA MINK.
EVERYONE THINKS THEY LOOK ALIKE.
HANA SAYS HER HAIR IS MESSY
BECAUSE SHE HATES HER COMB.
SHE SAYS
Next, Jane and DW go shopping in a supermarket.
Jane says YOU PICK OUT SOME APPLES.
DW says OKAY!
She spots Hana and yells HANA!
Hana says HI!
PRINCESS PLATOON HIGH FIVE!
SPARKLE UP, SPARKLE DOWN,
SPARKLE ALL AROUND THE TOWN!
GUYS, THIS IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND
FROM THE PUPPET WORKSHOP.
DW says HI.
Two teenage girls look at each other and continue reading their magazines.
Hana says I'M SO EXCITED.
KATINKA MINK IS ON THE COVER OF
POP QUIZ.
ISN'T THAT FIERCE?
DW says WE JUST SAW HER ON THE
BILLBOARD!
Hana says NICE.
OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO BOUNCE.
SEE YOU TOMORROW?
DW says OH, OKAY.
BYE!
DW picks up a magazine and says MOM, CAN I GET THIS?
Next, DW hangs a picture of Princess Platoon in her bedroom.
DW says FIERCE.
Back in the classroom, Bud and DW work in their puppets.
(Bud roaring)
(Hana laughing)
(DW groaning)
DW says THERE'S NOT ENOUGH STRING TO
MAKE PRINCESS PERKY'S HAIR.
Hana says HMM.
WHAT ABOUT USING THIS?
Hana grabs brown yarn.
DW says IT'S NOT GOLDEN.
Hana says IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.
MAYBE THIS IS PERKY'S COUSIN,
BUT WHO IS SHE?
D.W. says HMM.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A BUG.
Hana says SHE DOES!
A TINY BUG PRINCESS!
DW says A LADYBUG!
Hana says PRINCESS LADYBUG.
WE'LL GIVE HER WINGS.
DW says AND A TIARA!
Hana says YES!
Bud says JAMES'S SEA MONSTER IS
FALLING APART.
Hana says JAMES IS, TOO.
BE RIGHT BACK, OKAY, PARTNER?
DW says OKAY, PARTNER.
I CAN'T WINK.
Jane drives DW back from school.
DW says AND THEN WE PUT ON PIPE CLEANERS
FOR AN ANTENNA.
Jane says YOU LIKE HANA NOW, DON'T
YOU?
DW says HANA SAID I WAS HER NEW BEST
FRIEND.
Bud says I THOUGHT I WAS YOUR BEST
FRIEND.
DW says YOU ARE, BUT YOU'RE NOT MY
NEW BEST FRIEND.
Bud says YOU CAN'T HAVE TWO BEST
FRIENDS.
DW says YES, I CAN.
Bud says THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE AT THE
TOP.
THAT'S THE BEST, AND THEN THE
ONE DOWN ON THE BOTTOM IS THE
WORST.
BEST, WORST.
DW says WHAT'S IN HERE?
Bud says MIDDLE-EST.
DW says WELL, THEN YOU'RE MY
MIDDLE-EST FRIEND, BECAUSE HANA
IS MY NEW BEST FRIEND.
Bud looks away.
Later, DW has a snack when Jane places a flyer on the table.
Jane says DO YOU THINK IT HURT BUD'S
FEELINGS WHEN YOU SAID HE WASN'T
YOUR BEST FRIEND?
DW says NO.
Jane says HE MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT YOU
DON'T WANT TO BE HIS FRIEND
ANYMORE.
DW says HE LIVES DOWN THE STREET.
WE'RE AUTOMATICALLY FRIENDS.
She checks the flyer and says IS THAT KATINKA MINK?
Jane says SHE'S DOING A SHOW
IN ELWOOD CITY.
DW says I HAVE TO CALL HANA!
On her cell phone, Hana says YELL-O.
DW says HANA, IN ELWOOD CITY,
KATINKA MINK, SHE'S GOING TO BE
SINGING!
Hana says UH, WHO IS THIS?
D.W. says DW, FROM MAKING PUPPETS.
Hana says OH, LADYBUG!
HEY!
DW says KATINKA MINK, SATURDAY NIGHT
AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Hana says ARE YOU KIDDING?
DW says I GOT THE FLYER!
Hana says I AM ON IT.
THANKS, DW.
DW says THAT'S WHAT BEST FRIENDS DO
FOR EACH OTHER.
THEY...
Hana ends the call.
DW says HELLO?
HOORAY!
DW draws a flower on a T-shirt.
Then, talking to Pal, DW says GET UP!
GO BACK TO SLEEP.
DW removes Pal's collar and wears it around her wrist. Next, she puts on her flower T-shirt and soap on her hair.
DW says FIERCE.
Later, Bud says WHOA.
WAS IT WINDY IN YOUR HOUSE?
DW says THIS IS MY NEW HAIR.
Jane says I'M EXCITED TO SEE YOUR
PUPPETS TODAY.
DW says YOU'LL FLIP.
AFTERWARD, CAN WE BOUNCE OVER
FOR SOME ICE CREAM-AGE?
Bud says YOU SOUND LIKE HANA.
DW says REALLY?
THAT'S SO FIERCE!
DW walks into the classroom.
Hana says LOOKING GOOD, DW.
DW says OH, THIS?
JUST SOME CLOTHES I MADE.
Hana says REMIND ME AFTER, I HAVE
SOMETHING FOR YOU.
DW says IS IT OUR TICKETS TO SEE
KATINKA MINK?
Hana says OUR TICKETS?
DW says I THOUGHT I'D SLEEP OVER AT
YOUR HOUSE AFTER THE CONCERT.
Hana says WHAT?
I'M GOING WITH MY FRIENDS.
DW says BUT I'M YOUR FRIEND, YOUR
BEST FRIEND.
Hana says UM, YOU'RE MY BEST LITTLE
FRIEND, BUT THE SHOW'S FOR OLDER
KIDS.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE FUN.
OKAY, I-- I GOT TO GET THIS
THING GOING.
DW says YES, I WOULD.
HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
Bud says TO SIT WITH JAMES.
I GOT A NEW BEST FRIEND, TOO.
Hana says OKAY, NOW, LET'S INTRODUCE
OUR PUPPETS.
DW, YOU WANT TO GO FIRST?
DW says THIS...
IS PRINCESS LADYBUG, AND
SHE'S SAD RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE...
She sings MY NEW BEST FRIEND SAID I WAS
TOO SMALL
TOO LITTLE TO GO TO THE
LADYBUG BALL
MY DRESS WAS A MESS
AND THE HAIR ON MY HEAD
I CONFESSED I WAS STRESSED
CAN YOU GUESS WHAT I SAID?
YOU'RE WRONG, YOU'RE WRONG
HERE'S WHAT I'VE KNOWN ALL
ALONG
AS CLEAR AS THE RING OF A BELL
OR A GONG
MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I DON'T
BELONG
A video shows DW as Princess Ladybug in the story told.
She sings YOU'RE WRONG, YOU'RE WRONG
I'M RIGHT, I'M RIGHT
ALL DAY AND ALL THROUGH THE
NIGHT
I'M SMART AND I'M STRONG
AND I AM VERY POLITE
DON'T WANT ME ALONG
BECAUSE OF MY HEIGHT
YOU'RE WRONG
I'M RIGHT
I MAY BE A BUG
THE SMALLEST OF THINGS
AND WHEN YOU SHRUG
YOU KNOW THAT IT STINGS
BUT THERE IS A SECRET
A LADYBUG BRINGS
THE POWER OF FLOWERS
THE POWER OF WINGS
YOU'RE WRONG, YOU'RE WRONG
HERE'S WHAT I'VE KNOWN ALL
ALONG
AS CLEAR AS THE RING OF A BELL
OR A GONG
MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I DON'T
BELONG
YOU'RE WRONG
YOU'RE WRONG
She says THE END.
The kids and Hana clap.
Then, Hana says I'M SORRY I HURT YOUR
FEELINGS A BIT.
DW says A LOT!
Hana says I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU.
I STILL HOPE WE CAN BE FRIENDS.
DW says I DON'T KNOW.
Hana says I BROUGHT YOU MY OLD PRINCESS
DRESSES FROM WHEN I...
DW says REALLY?
FOR ME?
Now, DW and Bud talk in the car.
DW says DO YOU WANT A RASPBERRY?
IT'LL MAKE YOUR LIPS RED IF YOU
RUB IT.
Bud says OKAY.
ARE THEY RED?
DW says YEP.
I'D SAY YOU LOOK FIERCE, BUT I
DON'T REALLY USE THAT WORD
ANYMORE.
Bud says T. REX WANTS SOME.
DW says LADYBUG WANTS SOME, TOO.
They chuckle.
Kids say AND NOW, A WORD FROM US
KIDS.
Sophia has curly black hair in a ponytail and wears a blue T-shirt.
Sophia says MY NAME IS SOPHIA, AND THIS
IS MY SECOND GRADE CLASS.
Boy 1 says FASHION DESIGNING.
YEAH, WE'RE DESIGNING FASHION.
Sophia says DW TRIED TO BE LIKE
HANA, LIKE, COOL AND STUFF LIKE
THAT.
AND HANA MADE HER OWN CLOTHES,
SO WE MADE OUR OWN CLOTHES.
Kids sit on the floor painting T-shirts.
A blond boy says WE WANTED TO DO WHAT WE'D
LIKE, TO BE, LIKE, EXTRAORDINARY
AND, LIKE, NEW.
Sophia says MISS KARMA SHOWED US ALL THE
MATERIALS WE WERE GOING TO USE.
Miss Karma says THESE ARE IRON-ON.
Kids say WHOA!
Miss Karma says SPRAY PAINT YOUR
WAY TO FABULOUSNESS.
Sophia says AND MISS LILY GAVE US
SOME IDEAS.
Miss Lily says THIS IS SPRAY PAINT FOR
FABRIC.
A kid says WHOA!
Miss Lily applies a heart shape onto a T-shirt.
Miss Lily says AND YOU CAN DO
THAT ANYWHERE ON YOUR SHIRT TO
MAKE THE SHIRT EXACTLY WHAT YOU
WANT.
Girl 1 says WE STARTED DRAWING OUR
DESIGNS ON A PIECE OF PAPER.
Girl 2 says I MADE A UNICORN, AND I SAW
THAT SOPHIA WAS DOING IT.
AND NOW, WE BOTH HAVE...
Sophia and girl 2 say UNICORN SHIRTS.
Sophia says WE USED SCISSORS TO
CUT.
Girl 1 says I DECIDED TO DO FRINGE-Y FOR
THE SLEEVES.
Sophia says WHEN OUR SHIRTS WERE
FINISHED, WE DID SOME FASHION
PHOTOGRAPHY.
The kids pose wearing their T-shirts.
Girl 3 says I WORE A BACKPACK BECAUSE I
WANT TO LOOK LIKE A FASHIONABLE
SECOND-GRADE STUDENT.
Boy 1 says I WANT TO LOOK UNIQUE,
BECAUSE EVERYONE IS UNIQUE.
Girl 4 says IT MAKES ME FEEL SPECIAL.
Girl 5 says I DESIGNED MY OWN SHIRT, AND
IT MAKES ME FEEL PROUD.
Girl 2 says I CAN MAKE IT INTO SOMETHING
REALLY BEAUTIFUL OUT OF MY OWN
IMAGINATION.
IF YOU DO YOUR OWN DESIGN ON
IT, THEN IT WILL LOOK COOLER.
Kids say AND NOW, BACK TO
ARTHUR.
Another episode plays.
Ratburn says WAKE UP, BUSTER.
YOU'RE IN THE CLASSROOM.
YOU'RE NOT HOME IN BED.
Buster yawns and says OUR NEIGHBOUR'S DOG BARKS AT
NIGHT.
Ratburn says SLEEP IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR
BRAIN, AND YOU'LL NEED YOUR
BRAIN FOR 25 MULTIPLICATION
QUESTIONS.
Ratburn hands tests on the desks.
Arthur says AW, A TEST?
Ratburn says PENCILS OUT, EVERYBODY.
Buster says WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER TO TAKE
THE TEST OUTSIDE, ON THE SWINGS?
Binky says YES!
Ratburn says NO.
NOW, I WILL NEED TO DUCK INTO
THE TEACHERS' LOUNGE FOR A
MINUTE.
Buster says THE LOUNGE?
TEACHERS HAVE IT SO EASY.
Ratburn says IF THERE IS ANY TALKING
DURING THIS TEST, I WILL KNOW
ABOUT IT.
YOU MAY BEGIN.
Arthur says JUST WAIT.
THIS ONLY SEEMS LIKE A NORMAL
DAY.
Ratburn says SHH!
A spotted slate reads "Freaky Tuesday."
Buster's pencil lead breaks as he makes the test.
Buster says AW, MAN.
He walks to the pencil sharpener.
He says WHOA!
WHOOPS!
AW.
THE PENCIL SHARPENER'S BROKEN.
DOES ANYONE...
Arthur says BUSTER, NO TALKING.
JUST GO ASKING MR. RATBURN.
Buster knocks on the teacher's lounge.
Buster says MR. RATBURN?
(buzzing)
ARE YOU IN HERE?
HELLO!
WHOA.
A MAGAZINE RACK?
A COUCH?
NO WONDER THEY'RE ALWAYS IN
HERE!
A SNACK TABLE!
Buster checks a traditional Greek pie that glows in a pan.
He reads "SCIENCE EXPERIMENT
SPANAKOPITA-- COOKING WITH
LIGHTNING."
WHOA.
Ratburn says BUSTER, YOU'RE
NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN HERE.
Buster says THE PENCIL SHARPENER
EXPLODED.
Ratburn says YOU MAY USE THE SHARPENER IN
HERE, BUT THEN YOU MUST GET BACK
TO CLASS.
Buster says WAS THIS SPANAKOPITA
REALLY COOKED WITH LIGHTNING?
Ratburn says MR. RAMBACHER, THE NEW EIGHTH
GRADE TEACHER, IS DOING
EXPERIMENTS WITH...
WAIT.
STOP.
Buster says WHAT?
Ratburn says YOU'RE DUSTING
THE SPANAKOPITA WITH PENCIL
SHAVINGS.
They touch the pan at the same time and through a magical spell change their bodies.
Ratburn says WHAT IS
WRONG WITH MY HANDS?
Buster says WHAT'S WRONG
WITH MY HANDS?
THEY'RE COVERED WITH HAIR!
WHY AM I WEARING A TIE?
Ratburn says WHY IS MY POCKET FULL OF
ACORNS?
IS THIS A HALLUCINATION?
Buster says I LOOK LIKE YOU, AND YOU LOOK
LIKE ME!
Ratburn says HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
Cecilia is a white rabbit with bluish-gray curly hair. She wears a light purple long-sleeve top with a pink collar and pink cuffs, with a dark blue skirt and teal high-heels.
Cecilia says HELLO, YOU TWO.
I HOPE YOU'RE NOT TOUCHING THAT
SPANAKOPITA.
Ratburn says WHAT?
Cecilia says MR. RAMBACHER AND HIS
EXPERIMENTS.
(chuckling)
WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT SPANAKOPITA
TASTES LIKE?
Ratburn says AN ELECTRICAL TRANSFER.
THAT EXPLAINS IT.
Cecilia says NOW, BUSTER, YOU KNOW YOU'RE
NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE
TEACHERS' LOUNGE.
Looking like Ratburn, Buster says SORRY, MISS TINGLEY.
Cecilia turns and looks at Ratburn, who has Buster's voice.
Cecilia says OH, NIGEL, YOU'RE HILARIOUS.
Ratburn says SHE IS TALKING TO ME, BECAUSE
I AM BUSTER, OBVIOUSLY.
BUT WE
BOTH NEED TO GET BACK TO CLASS.
RIGHT, MR. RATBURN?
Ratburn, who looks like Buster, winks his eye.
Buster says HUH?
OH, Y-YES.
I AM MR. RATBURN, AND WE MUST
RETURN FORTHWITH TO COMMENCE OUR
LEARNING.
WAIT.
I FORGOT MY PENCIL.
Ratburn says LET'S GO!
THE LIGHTNING-CHARGED
SPANAKOPITA MUST HAVE CAUSED US
TO SWITCH BODIES.
I SHOULD WRITE ABOUT THIS FOR AN
ACADEMIC JOURNAL.
Buster says IT IS SO WEIRD SEEING THOSE
WORDS COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH.
Ratburn says I NEED TO FIND MR. RAMBACHER.
YOU GO BACK TO CLASS AND WAIT
FOR ME.
Buster says BUT EVERYONE'S GOING TO THINK
I'M YOU!
Ratburn says THEY'LL BE TAKING THE TEST
FOR 20 MORE MINUTES AT LEAST.
Buster says OKAY.
Brain says WE'RE DONE!
Buster says EVERYBODY'S DONE?
Brain says WE'VE BEEN DONE FOR FIVE
MINUTES, AND WE CHECKED OUR
WORK.
HERE YOU GO.
WHEN WILL WE KNOW OUR SCORE?
Buster says CAN A SCORE... EVER REALLY
BE KNOWN?
Arthur says WHAT ARE WE DOING IN HISTORY
CLASS TODAY?
Buster says HISTORY?
UH, UH, IT'S... GOING TO BE
AMAZING... FULL OF FACTS AND...
STUFF.
EH... NECKTIES REALLY KEEP YOU
WARM, DON'T THEY?
LET'S OPEN A WINDOW.
PAINTED SHUT.
ANYWAY, THE MAIN LESSON IS...
ABOUT... UM... UH...
ANCIENT EGYPT!
WE WILL LEARN EVERYTHING THERE
IS TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST?
Ratburn runs to Rambacher in the hallway. He is a monkey with brown hair and glasses.
Ratburn says CARL!
I MEAN, MR. RAMBACHER.
Rambacher says HELLO, BUSTER.
Ratburn says IF YOUR LIGHTNING-COOKED
SPANAKOPITA CAUSED AN ELECTRON
TRANSFER, HOW WOULD YOU REVERSE
THE EFFECTS?
Rambacher says I SUPPOSE WITH ANOTHER CHARGE
OF LIGHTNING.
Ratburn says I KNEW IT.
(chuckling nervously)
BUT WHAT IF THE SKIES ARE CLEAR?
Rambacher says I'D USE THE LIGHT-O-TRONIC
9,000.
Ratburn says IN THE OLD SCIENCE LAB?
THAT STILL WORKS?
Rambacher says OH, YES.
SURPRISING QUESTIONS COMING FROM
A THIRD-GRADER.
Ratburn says IT'S, UM, A PHASE I'M GOING
THROUGH.
TODAY, IT'S SCIENCE.
TOMORROW, WHO KNOWS?
HERE, HAVE AN ACORN.
Cecilia says BUSTER, MAY I HELP YOU?
Ratburn says I NEED TO BORROW THIS
SPANAKOPITA.
Cecilia says YOU MAY NOT.
PLEASE RETURN TO CLASS.
Ratburn steals the spanakopita to do an experiment.
Cecilia follows him and says BUSTER BAXTER, THIS IS
DANGEROUS.
Ratburn says I'M WEARING SAFETY GOGGLES.
Cecilia says MR. RATBURN WOULD NEVER ALLOW
SUCH A THING.
Cecilia takes Ratburn down the hallway. They stop at the classroom.
Ratburn says WHAT IS GOING ON?
Francine says MR. RATBURN HAS BEEN SO MUCH
FUN.
Cecilia says MR. RATBURN.
The kids fan Buster recreating the Egyptian society.
Buster says IT'S ANCIENT EGYPT IN HERE.
THEY'RE BUILDING PYRAMIDS, AND
I'M THE SPARROW.
Ratburn says IT'S "PHARAOH."
Cecilia says MAY WE SPEAK IN THE HALLWAY?
Ratburn says ALRIGHT, CHILDREN.
ENOUGH SHENANIGANS.
As Ratburn looks like Buster, the kids look surprised at each other.
Ratburn says IS WHAT MR. RATBURN TOLD ME TO
TELL YOU.
Cecilia says AND TRYING TO ZAP IT WITH THE
LIGHT-O-TRONIC 9,000.
Buster says HUH.
I GUESS THAT'S WHY BUSTER IS OUR
FAVOURITE.
Cecilia says ON ANOTHER MATTER, HAVE YOU
SUBMITTED YOUR TEST SCORES FROM
TODAY?
Buster says NO.
Cecilia says NIGEL, REPORT CARDS CANNOT BE
FINALIZED UNTIL ALL THE SCORES
ARE IN... TODAY.
Buster says UH, I WILL GET RIGHT ON IT.
Buster walks into the classroom as Ratburn shows some slides.
Ratburn says THESE TEMPLES HONOUR RAMSES
II AND HIS QUEEN, NEFERTARI.
IS MISS TINGLEY GONE?
Buster whispers SHE'S RETURNING THE
SPANAKOPITA TO THE TEACHERS'
LOUNGE.
Ratburn whispers I'M GOING TO RECHARGE THE
SPANAKOPITA.
THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO SWITCH
BACK TO OUR OWN BODIES.
TAKE OVER UNTIL I GET BACK.
Buster says UH... ZAMBONI XI WAS THE
GREATEST EGYPTIAN SPARROW EVER.
HE INVENTED THE PLAYGROUND, SO
OUTSIDE, EVERYBODY.
TIME TO STUDY.
Binky says WHOO-HOO!
I LOVE HISTORY.
On the phone, Cecilia says HELLO?
HELLO?
I'M HANGING UP NOW.
Ratburn steals the pan again as Cecilia is on the phone.
Cecilia says I CAN SMELL THE ELECTRICITY AND
FETA CHEESE.
AHA!
BUSTER?
Ratburn runs away.
Scoring tests in the playground, Buster says ONE DOWN, 10 TO GO.
Binky says CAN WE PUT OUR INITIALS IN
THE WET CEMENT?
Buster says NO!
YOU'LL GET ME IN TROUBLE.
GO PLAY OVER THERE.
Francine says I TOLD YOU HE'D SAY NO.
Ratburn says HERE, EAT THIS.
Buster says A RUBBER GLOVE?
Ratburn says IT'S SPANAKOPITA WRAPPED IN A
RUBBER GLOVE.
I HAD TO LEAVE THE PAN BEHIND TO
THROW MISS TINGLEY OFF MY SCENT.
WE'LL EAT THE SPANAKOPITA AT THE
SAME TIME.
ONE, TWO, THREE, EAT.
FEEL ANYTHING?
Buster says NOPE, NOTHING.
Ratburn says DRAT.
ME NEITHER.
MAYBE WE NEED THE PAN.
Buster says WE DEFINITELY NEED SOME
PEPPER.
Ratburn says NO, THE PAN CONDUCTS THE
ELECTRICITY.
THAT'S WHAT'S MISSING.
Cecilia says BUSTER?
Ratburn says OH, NO, HERE SHE COMES!
Ratburn runs across the wet cement.
Buster says HEY, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO
WALK ON THAT!
Ratburn says SORRY!
Cecilia says DID I SEE BUSTER HERE?
Buster says WHICH ONE IS BUSTER AGAIN?
Cecilia says I FOUND THE SPANAKOPITA IN
THE LAB AGAIN.
Buster says THAT'S TOO BAD.
Cecilia says WHAT ARE YOU EATING?
Buster says NOTHING.
Cecilia says ARE YOU STILL SCORING THOSE
TESTS?
Buster says I'M WORKING ON IT.
Cecilia says THEY NEED TO BE DONE NOW.
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
Buster says JUST DON'T WALK ON THE...
Cecilia says AH!
Buster says --WET CEMENT.
Binky says HOW ARE YOU SCORING OUR
TESTS?
Buster says FOR GOOD PENMANSHIP, I DRAW
A CAR.
IF ALL THE QUESTIONS ARE
ANSWERED, I DRAW AN ANIMAL.
Binky says HOW COME I GOT A SMILEY FACE?
Buster says YOU DIDN'T DOT YOUR I.
Binky says AW.
CAN I DO IT OVER?
Buster says NO.
DON'T WALK ON THE CEMENT!
Binky says THAT'S NOT FAIR.
EVERYONE ELSE DID.
Ratburn places the pan on a pile of tests.
Ratburn says HERE.
Buster says HEY, NOT ON THE TESTS!
Ratburn says WHEN WE SWITCHED BODIES, WE
WERE BOTH TOUCHING THE PAN AT
THE SAME TIME.
LET'S TRY IT AGAIN.
ONE, TWO, THREE, TOUCH.
Buster says AH!
Ratburn says OH, SHOCK!
DID IT WORK?
Buster says NO.
I STILL HAVE WEIRD HANDS.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE STUCK LIKE
THIS FOREVER, ARE WE?
Ratburn says I DON'T KNOW.
Buster says I THOUGHT TEACHERS HAD IT
EASY, BUT THEY DON'T.
I'M GRADING PAPERS WHILE
EVERYONE ELSE IS PLAYING.
I'M HAVING TO SAY NO ALL THE
TIME.
Cecilia says THERE IT IS.
Ratburn removes the pan and the tests fly away.
Buster says NO, NO, NO, NO!
OH, NO!
Ratburn says WAKE UP, BUSTER.
Buster stops at the wet cement.
Buster says NOW, I'M STUCK.
Back in reality, Ratburn says WAKE UP, BUSTER.
Buster wakes up in the classroom and yells I'M STUCK!
Ratburn says YOU'RE IN A CLASSROOM.
YOU'RE NOT HOME IN BED.
Now Buster looks like Buster.
Buster says IT WAS A DREAM?
I'M ME?
NORMAL HANDS.
IS THAT REALLY MR. RATBURN?
Ratburn says PENCILS OUT, EVERYBODY.
TWENTY-FIVE MULTIPLICATION
QUESTIONS.
Arthur says UGH, A TEST?
Buster says IT IS MR. RATBURN.
Binky says CAN WE TAKE THE TEST OUTSIDE?
Ratburn says NO.
Buster says I NEED A TEST, MR. RATBURN.
He sighs and says ALL I WANT IS TO BE TAKING THIS
NICE, EASY, FUN TEST.
Ratburn says YOU MAY BEGIN.
Buster's pencil lead breaks and he yells NO!
The end credits roll as the theme song plays.
