26. All right, you twoCopy !req
27. I want you to sit on the
barcazoid and watch a datagram.Copy !req
28. R4:
What is it?Copy !req
29. It belonged to your
great-grandfather.Copy !req
30. They used to call them "videos."Copy !req
31. You can see what life
was like in ancient times.Copy !req
32. I'd like you to research
your family historyCopy !req
33. and present it to the class.Copy !req
34. I found interesting things
about the Ratburns...Copy !req
35. As we can see, the Ratburn lineCopy !req
36. can be traced far back
into history...Copy !req
37. Travaillez plus.Copy !req
38. Travaillez plus.Copy !req
39. What?Copy !req
40. Laborate plus diligenter.Copy !req
41. I've learned
that the RatburnsCopy !req
42. wouldn't be where they are today
without much hard work.Copy !req
43. Let's see what you find outCopy !req
44. I can't wait
to start.Copy !req
45. I bet I find lots of
queens and princessesCopy !req
46. in the Crosswire family.Copy !req
47. I'm sure
I'll find some
famous Frenskys.Copy !req
48. Maybe one was an
important explorer.Copy !req
49. What if my great-
grandmother discoveredCopy !req
50. the land route
to the Pacific Ocean?Copy !req
51. Francine, I think
Lewis and Clark did that.Copy !req
52. Oh, well, maybe
she helped them.Copy !req
53. I have to stop, Lewis.Copy !req
54. I can barely
move my arms.Copy !req
55. You said it, Clark,
I'm bushed.Copy !req
56. A bear!
We're done for!Copy !req
57. You're right, Clark,
this is the end.Copy !req
58. Keep your shirts on, boys.Copy !req
59. It's Ma Frensky!Copy !req
60. Go, Ma Frensky!Copy !req
61. Go get him, go!Copy !req
62. One, two,
three, four... fiveCopy !req
63. six, seven, eight, nine, ten!Copy !req
64. I win!Copy !req
65. I want you boys
to follow this routeCopy !req
66. until you hit
the Pacific.Copy !req
67. Great idea!Copy !req
68. Why didn't we
think of that?Copy !req
69. And stay out of trouble!Copy !req
70. I bet my ancestor
gave yours a medalCopy !req
71. for being so brave.Copy !req
72. He was probably
the president at the time.Copy !req
73. Oh, yeah? Well,
I bet my relativesCopy !req
74. were the presidents
after him.Copy !req
75. You guys, it's
not a contest.Copy !req
76. Yeah, I'm sure
we're all relatedCopy !req
77. to some
interesting people.Copy !req
78. Grandpa was
a toll booth operator?Copy !req
79. Wow! And what did
his father do?Copy !req
80. I don't know what
my grandfather did.Copy !req
81. I never asked him.Copy !req
82. Now I really wish I had.Copy !req
83. I'll check in the library.Copy !req
84. I bet I can find
stuff about him there.Copy !req
85. Cool! My great-uncle
owned a cheese shop.Copy !req
86. That makes three uncles
I've found so far.Copy !req
87. Gee, I'd settle
for a second cousin.Copy !req
88. I haven't found
anything about
my ancestors.Copy !req
89. Hi, guys, where is
the Crosswire section?Copy !req
90. Huh?Copy !req
91. Oh, never mind,
I'll just ask Ms. Turner.Copy !req
92. No... I'm sorryCopy !req
93. we don't seem to have
any books on Crosswires.Copy !req
94. But this is a library.Copy !req
95. You're supposed to have
books on important people.Copy !req
96. Hey, Muffy,
guess what I found.Copy !req
97. My grandfather
owned a castle.Copy !req
98. There's an article on it
in this paper.Copy !req
99. What'd you find out?Copy !req
100. Oh... the Crosswires
are too importantCopy !req
101. to be in this public library.Copy !req
102. We have our own
private archives.Copy !req
103. This is it?Copy !req
104. Where are the books about us?Copy !req
105. What about the family jewels?Copy !req
106. There's nothing
like that.Copy !req
107. We're just
plain folks, honey.Copy !req
108. Mother, how could you say
such a thing?Copy !req
109. You should visit
great-aunt Olga.Copy !req
110. She'll know things
about the family.Copy !req
111. It's my grandfather's lunch box.Copy !req
112. My mom found it last night.Copy !req
113. At least now
you have a visual aid.Copy !req
114. Yeah... for the world's
shortest report.Copy !req
115. I can't
even open it—
it's stuck.Copy !req
116. Hi, guys! How's the report
going, Francine?Copy !req
117. I just learned that my
grandfather's grandfatherCopy !req
118. was an adviser
to President Lincoln.Copy !req
119. Well, I'm off to visit
my great-aunt.Copy !req
120. She's a princess.Copy !req
121. Bye!Copy !req
122. It wasn't really a lie—
she could be a princess.Copy !req
123. Wait a minute,
she's too old
to be a princess.Copy !req
124. She'd have
to be a queen...Copy !req
125. And if she's a queen,
then maybe I'm... a princess.Copy !req
126. I'm sorry I'm late,
your highness.Copy !req
127. The limo had a flat.Copy !req
128. Is that you, Anastasia?Copy !req
129. No, it's Muffy.Copy !req
130. Oh, well,
you'll do.Copy !req
131. Crown her.Copy !req
132. So I'm actuallyCopy !req
133. the long-lost princess
of Translatvia?Copy !req
134. Cool!Copy !req
135. Oh, no! Are you sure
this is the right address?Copy !req
136. The Crosswires used
to sell used horses.Copy !req
137. And after that
it was used carts.Copy !req
138. And now it's cars!Copy !req
139. This is Juniper.Copy !req
140. Thought you might want him
for your report.Copy !req
141. Thanks.Copy !req
142. Francine probably
has somethingCopy !req
143. from Abraham Lincoln.Copy !req
144. And Vingo Frensky advised
Abe Lincoln to trim his beard.Copy !req
145. Guess what— he did.Copy !req
146. Want the photo
to show your class?Copy !req
147. Oh, that's all right, Grandpa,
I'll... describe it to them.Copy !req
148. How about this one?Copy !req
149. It's of the hamburger castle
I used to own.Copy !req
150. Hmm... okay.Copy !req
151. I have more stuff
in the garage.Copy !req
152. There's a box
somewhereCopy !req
153. with some of
Lincoln's beard.Copy !req
154. There— now it looksCopy !req
155. like the type of castle
Muffy's family might have.Copy !req
156. I'll say the bottom was cut off.Copy !req
157. And then the Crosswires
owned all of EnglandCopy !req
158. And France, too.Copy !req
159. But they sold that
to the Germans.Copy !req
160. Get this: I haveCopy !req
161. A picture of Grandpa
outside his castle.Copy !req
162. We owned
a hundred castles.Copy !req
163. A Frensky
advised Lincoln.Copy !req
164. So? Lincoln was
my second cousin.Copy !req
165. I think my ancestors
were taken by spaceships.Copy !req
166. That's why I can't find any.Copy !req
167. Oh, please, Buster!Copy !req
168. That makes
everything I said
sound believable.Copy !req
169. I knew it!Copy !req
170. Oh, it's no use.Copy !req
171. None of
my relativesCopy !req
172. were rich
or famous.Copy !req
173. The Crosswires were
just... plain folks.Copy !req
174. That's okay, Muffy.Copy !req
175. I Bet they're still
pretty interesting.Copy !req
176. Easy for you to say.Copy !req
177. Your relatives did
exciting things—Copy !req
178. Like own castles
and advise presidents.Copy !req
179. I mean, they really did do
those things, right?Copy !req
180. Oh, yeah, definitely.Copy !req
181. My ancestors were all...
really important people.Copy !req
182. Hiya, Franky.Copy !req
183. I found some more
photos for you.Copy !req
184. There are terrific picturesCopy !req
185. of the inside
of the hamburger castle.Copy !req
186. Uh... thanks, Grandpa.Copy !req
187. My pleasure, Franky.Copy !req
188. I'm sure it's
going to be
a great report.Copy !req
189. Make the Frenskys proud.Copy !req
190. Good night.Copy !req
191. Good night, Grandpa.Copy !req
192. Oh... Grandpa would be
really hurt if he knewCopy !req
193. I was trying to make the
Frenskys seem more exciting.Copy !req
194. Maybe I should
just tell the truth.Copy !req
195. Here's my grandfather
making a hamburger.Copy !req
196. Here he is mopping.Copy !req
197. This a picture
of a salt shaker.Copy !req
198. And I thought
my relatives were boring.Copy !req
199. Hiya, son.Copy !req
200. I just stopped by
to give you this palmettoCopy !req
201. and wish Francine
good luck with her report.Copy !req
202. She just left, Dad.Copy !req
203. She left the photo album behind.Copy !req
204. She's going to need that.Copy !req
205. From covered wagons to CadillacsCopy !req
206. The Crosswires
have kept transportationCopy !req
207. alive and thriving in the U.S.
for over 100 years.Copy !req
208. And that's the way it was.Copy !req
209. This has been Wolf Blitzen.Copy !req
210. Thank you and good day.Copy !req
211. That was very
impressive, Muffy.Copy !req
212. Francine, you're next.Copy !req
213. A lot of my relatives
were really importantCopy !req
214. but the most important
was Vingo Frensky.Copy !req
215. He was an adviser
to Abraham Lincoln.Copy !req
216. I'll now give you
a dramatic recreationCopy !req
217. of one of their
important conversations.Copy !req
218. Francine...Copy !req
219. Sorry to interrupt.Copy !req
220. Here, Franky,
you left this at homeCopy !req
221. And I thought
you'd need it.Copy !req
222. Would you like to stay?Copy !req
223. Francine was about to start.Copy !req
224. Like to? I'd love to.Copy !req
225. Uh...Copy !req
226. Uh...Copy !req
227. This is a picture of
my grandfather's castle—Copy !req
228. I mean... hamburger castle.Copy !req
229. A hamburger castle?Copy !req
230. Cool! Which one?Copy !req
231. The one right
outside Elwood City.Copy !req
232. I've eaten
there!Copy !req
233. I love
those burgers!Copy !req
234. And Vingo FrenskyCopy !req
235. did advise Abe Lincoln.Copy !req
236. But it was just
to trim his beard.Copy !req
237. I've actually
got a box hereCopy !req
238. with some bits
of his beard.Copy !req
239. Whoa! Let me see.Copy !req
240. Fascinating.Copy !req
241. That was a great
report, Francine.Copy !req
242. You're sure
your relativesCopy !req
243. didn't own
a real castle?Copy !req
244. Yeah.Copy !req
245. You're such
a good friend.Copy !req
246. I thought all
I'd have to show youCopy !req
247. would be my grandfather's
lunch boxCopy !req
248. and my report would be boring.Copy !req
249. But then I found
this sandwich inside.Copy !req
250. It's from 1955!Copy !req
251. Mmm... bologna.Copy !req
252. 3W:
Wss life
really like thatCopy !req
253. 100 years ago?Copy !req
254. I guess so.Copy !req
255. I liked it,
but it didn't
make a lot of sense.Copy !req
256. I mean, what's a hamburger?Copy !req
257. Beats me.Copy !req
258. And now...Copy !req
259. Hi, my name is Matt, and
this is my third-grade class.Copy !req
260. Today we're making posters
of someone in our family.Copy !req
261. I made a poster
about my cousin Loreen.Copy !req
262. She's in the Navy.Copy !req
263. She loves reading
and writing letters.Copy !req
264. I'm doing a poster
on my grandmother Agnes.Copy !req
265. She loves to go to Maine
and she loves seafood.Copy !req
266. Right now I'm going to tell you
about my father.Copy !req
267. When he was little, his favorite
toys were cars and balloons.Copy !req
268. Let me tell you
about my Aunt Mary.Copy !req
269. If you want to know
her most embarrassing moment!Copy !req
270. One day when she was
playing basketball...Copy !req
271. when she was just about to
get the ball through the hoopCopy !req
272. her two front teeth
got caught onto the hoop.Copy !req
273. When my grandpa was in schoolCopy !req
274. he always liked
to be in school plays.Copy !req
275. I'm doing a poster on my uncleCopy !req
276. and he likes to go fishing.Copy !req
277. Every time when
he has free time, he sleeps.Copy !req
278. I did a poster
on my dad, StephenCopy !req
279. and he likes...Copy !req
280. he likes, um...Copy !req
281. he likes...Copy !req
282. pizza.Copy !req
283. And now...Copy !req
284. Have you
ever noticedCopy !req
285. how people's
personalities
fit them perfectly?Copy !req
286. We need more homework
and quizzes.Copy !req
287. I love jokes!Copy !req
288. They're funny.Copy !req
289. No, I'm not going
to the mall;Copy !req
290. I'm playing soccer,
and so are you.Copy !req
291. Oh, you are so rude!Copy !req
292. Now, imagine if they had
different personalities.Copy !req
293. They'd seem
really weird.Copy !req
294. For tonight's homeworkCopy !req
295. everyone find one
really funny joke for tomorrow.Copy !req
296. If I laugh, you get an "A."Copy !req
297. No, I'm not going to the mall.Copy !req
298. I'm playing soccer,
and so are you.Copy !req
299. You are so rude!Copy !req
300. I'd rather go
to the mall.Copy !req
301. They had
the cutest sneakers!Copy !req
302. Arthur!Copy !req
303. Are you thinking
about math or
daydreaming?Copy !req
304. Seven times three
is not 28—Copy !req
305. it's 21.Copy !req
306. Seven times one
is seven;Copy !req
307. Seven times two is 14...Copy !req
308. Okay, okay!Copy !req
309. You see how weird that would be?Copy !req
310. It's so much betterCopy !req
311. when people act
like themselves.Copy !req
312. Well, most of the time.Copy !req
313. And after you do
your homeworkCopy !req
314. I want you to scratch me
behind the ears.Copy !req
315. Yee-ha!Copy !req
316. This is
a great show.Copy !req
317. What's Sammy Screwdriver
really like?Copy !req
318. I like Newt
the Nut better.Copy !req
319. He's screwy.Copy !req
320. I like the part
where real
kids talkCopy !req
321. and it's coming on,
so be quiet!Copy !req
322. Gravity is the force that
makes us stick to the earth.Copy !req
323. Without gravity we'd float away.Copy !req
324. Gravity is what makes
an apple hit you on your head.Copy !req
325. How do they
choose these kids?Copy !req
326. Their parents
probably work
on the show.Copy !req
327. Imagine if
they picked you.Copy !req
328. Here's Arthur on TV:Copy !req
329. "My name is Arthur
and my dog is named Pal.Copy !req
330. "And blahdee-blahdee-blah!Copy !req
331. Isn't that
interesting?"Copy !req
332. And here's the audience
watching Arthur on TV.Copy !req
333. Very funny, D.W.Copy !req
334. I always think
snoring is funny.Copy !req
335. Fill in all the country names
in the entire worldCopy !req
336. in their proper locations.Copy !req
337. And as always,
spelling counts!Copy !req
338. Who can tell me
where this is?Copy !req
339. Kenny?Copy !req
340. Um, Earth?Copy !req
341. That's right, very good!Copy !req
342. Cookies for everybody!Copy !req
343. I'm so sorry
to interrupt a quizCopy !req
344. but I have
exciting news!Copy !req
345. The TV show
Magic ToolboxCopy !req
346. is coming here
to makeCopy !req
347. a "let's talk to
some kids" segment.Copy !req
348. Wow!Copy !req
349. And because this class
is the hardest-workingCopy !req
350. in the schoolCopy !req
351. you've been chosen!Copy !req
352. My mom said working
hard in class
would pay offCopy !req
353. But I didn't
think so soon!Copy !req
354. I can't believe
we're all going to be on TV!Copy !req
355. All? I don't know.Copy !req
356. The camera probably
won't be ableCopy !req
357. to resist
focusing on me.Copy !req
358. They'll put me on for sure.Copy !req
359. Here's the new star
of Magic ToolboxCopy !req
360. Francine Frensky!Copy !req
361. I better prepare for this!Copy !req
362. See you!Copy !req
363. Do you think
Francine will getCopy !req
364. all the attention?Copy !req
365. TV shows need action!Copy !req
366. Hi-yah! Ah!Copy !req
367. Yah!Copy !req
368. I've got to go, too— bye!Copy !req
369. What would
you practice
to do on TV?Copy !req
370. I won't even think about it.Copy !req
371. I'm working on a project
for the science honor roll.Copy !req
372. I'm not thinking
about it, either.Copy !req
373. Well, see you!Copy !req
374. Gravity is the only
important scientific principleCopy !req
375. that can really hurt
your backside.Copy !req
376. What time is itCopy !req
377. when an elephant
sits on your watch?Copy !req
378. Time to get
a new watch.Copy !req
379. Thank you, thank you!Copy !req
380. What are
you doing?Copy !req
381. Practicing to be on TV.Copy !req
382. Maybe I'll get
my own show.Copy !req
383. You?Copy !req
384. On TV?Copy !req
385. Hey, D.W.!Copy !req
386. Hey!Copy !req
387. Whoa!Copy !req
388. I knew it!Copy !req
389. I knew there wereCopy !req
390. Little people in the TV— Mom!Copy !req
391. If I become famousCopy !req
392. you can be on
TV with me, D.W.Copy !req
393. No, thanks.Copy !req
394. You'd try
to make me lookCopy !req
395. like I'm a brat.Copy !req
396. "There's footprints
in the peanut butter!"Copy !req
397. Hi-yah!Copy !req
398. "There is no joy
in Mudville."Copy !req
399. Hi, guys.Copy !req
400. Arthur says you're
not going to prepareCopy !req
401. anything for TV.Copy !req
402. No, I'm rather busyCopy !req
403. working on
my science project.Copy !req
404. Oh, yawn!Copy !req
405. Like that's
as importantCopy !req
406. As The Magic
Toolbox.Copy !req
407. This is your big opportunity!Copy !req
408. He's just afraid
he'd be boring.Copy !req
409. What would he do
on TV anyway? Think?Copy !req
410. Hmm...Copy !req
411. Hmm.Copy !req
412. Hmm... hmm.Copy !req
413. Brain's new puppy.Copy !req
414. Mom, Dad!Copy !req
415. I'm thinking about
getting a new puppy.Copy !req
416. Hmm.Copy !req
417. Hmm... hmm.Copy !req
418. Hmm.Copy !req
419. Boy, that would be entertaining!Copy !req
420. I'm being sarcastic.Copy !req
421. Being on TV
isn't all that
important to me.Copy !req
422. The Brain really
doesn't careCopy !req
423. about being on TV.Copy !req
424. Are you kidding?Copy !req
425. This is the saddest
thing I ever sawCopy !req
426. including me
not getting a puppy.Copy !req
427. Huh?Copy !req
428. He's obviously
afraid.Copy !req
429. We have to help
him realizeCopy !req
430. he's good at things
he could do on TV.Copy !req
431. Really?Copy !req
432. Believe me,
I know people.Copy !req
433. Behind all that confidence,
he's secretly shy.Copy !req
434. You know,
you're goodCopy !req
435. at a lot
of cool stuff:Copy !req
436. Basketball,
baseballCopy !req
437. that thing with
all the numbers...Copy !req
438. Math?Copy !req
439. Yeah, math!Copy !req
440. There's all
kinds of thingsCopy !req
441. you can do well.Copy !req
442. What's your point?Copy !req
443. What's
my point?Copy !req
444. I don't
know.Copy !req
445. I remember!Copy !req
446. There's plenty of stuff
you can do on TV.Copy !req
447. I don't care.Copy !req
448. I tried
