Transcript: That's MY Grandma! / Bud's Knotty Problem
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 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 says HEY, D.W.!
D.W. says HEY!
Arthur says WHOA!
OOF!
Arthur falls backwards and a caption reads "Based on the Arthur adventure books by Marc Brown."
The end credits roll as the theme song plays.
(music plays)
D.W. and Bud play in the backyard.
Bud says FOLKS ARE ALWAYS
TRYING TO DO IMPOSSIBLE
THINGS.
IT'S IN OUR NATURE.
D.W. says REMEMBER WHEN WE
CLIMBED THAT MOUNTAIN?
(music plays)
They climb up a pile of laundry.
Bud says WE MADE IT!
Ladonna says HEY!
I HAD THOSE ALL SORTED!
Bud says OR HOW 'BOUT THAT TIME
WE SWAM WITH SHARKS?
(music plays)
In the kiddie pool, D.W. says FASTER, BUD!
THEY'RE GAINING ON US!
[suspenseful music playing]
Arthur says HEY!
WATCH IT!
Bud says NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
FOR US!
D.W. says NOTHING!
Bud says NOT EVEN...
FIGHTING THE WORLD'S SMELLIEST
MONSTER!
(music plays)
Bud says BACK FROM WHENCE YOU
CAME, MONSTER!
(music plays)
[sizzling]
Wearing a mask, he picks up a dirty diaper from the trash with a pair of kitchen tongs.
The name of the episode reads "Bud’s Knotty Problem. Witten by Raye Lankford."
Bud and Landonna run to the kitchen in their pajamas.
They fight over the paper.
Ladonna says I CALL THE
FUNNIES!
Bud says NOT IF I GET THERE
FIRST!
Ladonna says I'M OLDER!
Bud says I'M CUTER!
Ladonna says I'M NICER!
Bud says I'M FUNNIER!
Ladonna says YOU CAN'T EVEN
READ!
Bud says SO?
I LIKE THE PICTURES!
Ladonna says I'LL LET GO IF YOU
CAN GUESS THE NUMBER I'M
THINKING OF RIGHT NOW.
Bud says SEVEN!
Ladonna says NOPE.
IT WAS FIVE.
Bud says OHH!
I WANTED TO MAKE COPIES OF
THEM WITH MY DAFFY DOUGH!
Ladonna says HERE, TAKE THE ADS.
THEY'RE JUST AS COLOURFUL.
(music plays)
Bud says WHOA!
NOW
THAT'S
A PAIR OF BOOTS!
A KID COULD HAVE SOME SERIOUS
FUN IN THOSE.
(music plays)
He imagines he’s a giant in the boots, scaring the citizens as he walks.
[screaming]
Bud says THEY WOULD STOMP SO
LOUD, THE WHOLE TOWN WOULD
KNOW YOU WERE COMING!
[loud stomping]
(music plays)
Bud says AND THEY'D BE GREAT FOR
SPLASHING IN PUDDLES!
[splash]
He jumps on a puddle and sputters mud over Landonna.
Ladonna says BUD COMPSON!
Bud says AND STUFF COULD FALL
ON YOUR FEET AND IT WOULDN'T
HURT ONE ITTY-BIT.
EVEN A METEORITE!
A meteorite falls on the park.
Emily says AH!
[whooshing sound]
Bud kicks it back to space.
Ladonna says WELL, YOU'D HAVE
TO LEARN HOW TO TIE YOUR SHOES
FIRST.
THOSE BOOTS HAVE LACES.
Bud says OH, YEAH.
WHY, OH WHY COULDN'T THEY BE
SLIP-ONS?!
TRULY I AM VEXED.
Ladonna says BUD, YOU HAVE TO
LEARN TO TIE YOUR LACES
SOMEDAY.
Bud says I'VE TRIED!
IT JUST DOESN'T WORK!
THESE FINGERS ARE ALLERGIC TO
KNOTS!
Mrs. Compson says YOU HAVE TO
KEEP TRYING, BUTTER BEAN.
IF YOU CAN SHOW ME YOU CAN TIE
YOUR LACES, I'LL GET YOU THOSE
BOOTS.
Bud says YOU ARE GOING TO BE
MINE, BOOTS.
(music plays)
He makes a copy of the boots with the daffy dough.
Bud says I SWEAR IT!
In her bedroom, D.W., Emily and Bud play high tea.
D.W. says YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO
TIE YOUR SHOES?
Bud says NOPE.
BUT IF I LEARN, I CAN GET
THESE BOOTS.
Emily says THOSE ARE BOOTS?
IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A MONET.
Bud says WELL, THE PICTURE WAS
BETTER BEFORE I SLEPT ON IT.
PASS THE BISCUITS, PLEASE.
(music plays)
D.W. says HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW
HOW TO TIE YOUR SHOES?
YOU'RE FOUR YEARS OLD!
I'VE BEEN TYING MY SHOES FOR
MONTHS NOW.
Bud says THEN HOW COME THOSE
DON'T HAVE LACES?
D.W. says IT'S A FASHION
STATEMENT.
BUT I HAVE LACE-UP SNEAKS AT
HOME.
Emily says I HAVE SOMETHING
THAT MIGHT HELP: MARTIN THE
MIME TIES HIS SHOES!
(music plays)
[accordion music playing]
D.W. says WHAT IS HE DOING?
Emily says TYING HIS SHOES,
SEE?
[Emily giggles]
(music plays)
Bud says BUT HE'S IN SOCKS.
Emily says THEY'RE IMAGINARY
SHOES.
Bud says SO, WHY CAN'T HE
IMAGINE THEY'RE ALREADY TIED?
Emily says BECAUSE THEN THERE
WOULD BE NO POINT TO THE
VIDEO.
Bud says BUT TYING IMAGINARY
SHOES IS EASY.
I DO THAT ALL THE TIME.
D.W. says WHAT'S HE DOING NOW?
Emily says HE'S IN A BOX.
D.W. says WHY?
Emily says BECAUSE HE'S A MIME!
Bud says THERE'S AN IMAGINARY
DOOR RIGHT THERE TO YOUR LEFT,
MARTIN!
NO, NO, NO, THE OTHER LEFT!
Emily says OH, FORGET IT!
(music plays)
Bud says IF THAT'S HOW YOU
LEARN HOW TO TIE YOUR LACES,
I'M IN BIG TROUBLE.
D.W. says OH, DON'T PAY ANY
ATTENTION TO THAT MIME.
I CAN TEACH YOU.
Bud says REALLY?
D.W. says SURE!
ALL WE NEED IS A PAIR OF
SHOES.
(music plays)
D.W. says THESE SHOULD DO THE
TRICK.
(music plays)
Bud says THEY'RE TOO BIG.
D.W. says SO WHAT?
THEY HAVE LACES; THAT'S ALL
THAT MATTERS.
Bud says YOU DON'T HAVE THEM
IN BLACK, DO YOU?
I HATE BROWN.
D.W. says BUD!
Bud says OKAY, OKAY!
D.W. says FIRST, YOU MAKE TWO
BUNNY EARS.
THEN ONE BUNNY GOES AROUND THE
TREE, INTO THE HOLE, AND COMES
BACK OUT AGAIN.
THEN PULL TIGHT.
TA DA!
NOW YOU TRY.
OKAY, MAKE THE TWO EARS...
GOOD.
WAIT, WHAT'S THAT?
Bud says HIS TAIL.
D.W. says HE DOESN'T HAVE A
TAIL!
Bud says ALL BUNNIES HAVE A
TAIL.
D.W. says WELL, NOT THIS ONE!
START AGAIN!
Bud says POOR LITTLE FELLER.
D.W. says OKAY, YOU'VE GOT THE
EARS.
NOW HE GOES AROUND THE TREE,
AND INTO THE HOLE, AND... NO!
HE CAN'T COME OUT THE SAME
HOLE!
(music plays)
D.W. says WAIT, NOW YOU'VE LOST
HIM!
WHERE'S YOUR BUNNY, BUD?
Bud says I DON'T KNOW!
MAYBE HE WENT TO GO FIND HIS
TAIL!
HELP!
I'M STUCK!
D.W. sighs and says THIS IS GOING TO BE HARDER
THAN I THOUGHT.
OKAY, LET'S TRY AGAIN.
Bud says I THINK I'M DONE.
D.W. says WHAT?
YOU'RE NOT GIVING UP, ARE YOU?
Bud says LET'S FACE IT, THERE'S
LOTS OF THINGS I'M GOOD AT:
ANIMAL NOISES, KNOCK-KNOCK
JOKES, STARING CONTESTS.
BUT TYING SHOES JUST ISN'T ONE
OF THEM.
THANKS FOR TRYING.
D.W. says I THINK YOU'RE
FORGETTING SOMETHING.
Bud steps off the shoes and says OH, YEAH.
TOO BAD.
THE BROWN WAS REALLY GROWING
ON ME.
(music plays)
In his bedroom, Bud looks at his boots and says GUESS YOU AND ME ARE
STUCK TOGETHER.
He says to his stuffed dinosaur WAS THERE EVER ANYTHING YOU
JUST COULDN'T DO, RAPTY?
(music plays)
Rapty comes alive and says OH, SURE!
LOADS OF THINGS!
Bud says LIKE WHAT?
Rapty says WELL, UM, ROARING.
OH, WAIT, I'M GREAT AT THAT.
SCARING PEOPLE?
NO, I'M PRETTY GOOD AT THAT,
TOO.
Bud says I KNEW IT!
YOU'RE GOOD AT EVERYTHING!
Rapty says WAIT, I GOT IT!
I CAN'T CLAP, REMEMBER?
Bud says OH, YEAH, RIGHT.
GOING TO PLAYS MUST BE VERY
EMBARRASSING FOR YOU.
Rapty says I PREFER MOVIES.
(music plays)
Bud says IF I CAN'T DO A BABY
THING LIKE TIE MY SHOES, WHAT
ELSE WON'T I BE ABLE TO DO?
(music plays)
He imagines tiny versions of Emily and D.W. are on his bed.
Emily says I HEARD THAT BUD
CAN'T PLAY BADMINTON.
D.W. says WELL, THAT'S NOTHING!
NGGH!
I HEARD HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
HOW TO WRITE A CHEQUE.
(music plays)
Emily says THAT'S TERRIBLE!
HOW WILL HE EVER BUY A CAR?
D.W. says WHAT DOES HE NEED A
CAR FOR?
HE WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT!
[laughing]
Bud says I WILL TOO DRIVE A CAR!
AND I'M ALSO GONNA TIE MY
SHOES.
(music plays)
He takes his shoes off the closet, blows the dust off them and puts them by the bed, next to his boots.
[blowing]
(music plays)
The next day, Landonna eats cereal in the kitchen.
Bud says OOF!
Ladonna says HUH?
Bud says OH, FLITTER!
Ladonna says CHECKING THE
CARPET FOR FLEAS?
Bud says I'M TEACHING MYSELF
HOW TO TIE MY SHOES.
BUT THE BUNNIES WON'T
COOPERATE.
Ladonna says I'LL HELP YOU.
LET'S GO OUTSIDE.
THE GRASS IS A LOT SOFTER THAN
THAT FLOOR.
FORGET ABOUT THE RABBITS.
THERE ARE NO RABBITS.
FIRST, MAKE AN X.
X MARKS THE SPOT.
Bud says LIKE ON A TREASURE
MAP?
Ladonna says RIGHT, ONLY THIS
TIME THE TREASURE IS THOSE NEW
BOOTS.
THEN YOU MAKE A LOOP LIKE THIS
AND WRAP THE OTHER LACE AROUND
IT, SEE?
(music plays)
He steps on his shoelaces and one of the shoes come off.
Bud says NGGH!
(music plays)
Ladonna says AGAIN!
(music plays)
Bud says WHOA!
SWEET PETUNIA!
(music plays)
He trips and falls.
Ladonna says AGAIN.
(music plays)
Bud says I DID IT.
I THINK I REALLY DID IT!
I TIED MY SHOES!
GAHHH!
(music plays)
Ladonna says YEAH, YOU TIED 'EM
ALL RIGHT.
TO EACH OTHER.
YOU NEED A BREAK?
Bud says UN-UNH.
Ladonna says AGAIN!
(music plays)
Bud keeps trying in his room.
He sighs and says I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES
I'LL FALL TODAY.
Rapty says WELL, YOUR DAILY
AVERAGE HAS BEEN ABOUT 26.
MAYBE 25 TODAY?
(music plays)
Rapty says OH!
BUD!
Bud says WHAT?
Rapty says LOOK!
(music plays)
Bud says I DID IT!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
I REALLY DID IT!
Rapty says YAY!
(music plays)
Bud says KEEP TRYING!
I GOTTA GO.
Rapty tries clapping.
(music plays)
Bud says MOM, I DID IT!
Mrs. Compson takes Bud to the show store.
Mrs. Compson says WELL, WHAT DO
YOU THINK, BUD?
WALK AROUND A BIT.
(music plays)
Bud says HUH.
Mrs. Compson says WHAT'S THE
MATTER?
Bud says THEY'RE SO HEAVY.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE I'M WALKING
IN MUD.
The salesman says YOU'LL GET USED
TO THAT.
Bud says AND MY CALVES ARE SO
ITCHY.
Mrs. Compson says YOU DON'T
WANT THEM, DO YOU?
Bud says NOPE.
BUT THERE IS SOMETHING I DO
WANT.
He grabs a pair of colourful printed shoelaces and says THESE!
Back home, he says PRETTY SNAZZY, RIGHT, RAPTY?
Rapty says I'LL SAY!
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MINE?
(music plays)
Bud says I LOVE 'EM!
(music plays)
Bud takes off his shoes and puts on his boots.
He says AHHH, THAT'S BETTER.
DID YOU MISS ME, BOYS?
Rapty says WHY'D YOU CHANGE
YOUR SHOES?
Bud says THESE ARE STILL MY
FAVOURITES.
BUT DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE.
SOMEDAY I'M GOING TO REPLACE
YOU.
WITH ROLLER SKATES!
(music plays)
Now a real life clip shows kids in a classroom.
The kids say AND NOW, A WORD FROM
US KIDS.
The Teacher says BUD LEARNED TO TIE
HIS SHOES WITH HELP FROM HIS
FRIEND D.W.
TODAY, YOU ARE GOING TO TEACH
SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO
DO.
A girl with short wavy blond hair says I'M GOING TO TEACH HOW TO
DO A CARTWHEEL.
TO BE A GOOD TEACHER, YOU HAVE
TO SPEAK VERY CLEARLY.
YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO PUT
YOUR HANDS ON THE GROUND AND
THEN PUT ONE FOOT OVER AND
THEN TRY TO DO THE OTHER ONE.
GREAT JOB, LAILA.
Samira, a brown haired girl in a coral jacket, says TODAY, I'M GOING TO
TEACH YOU GUYS HOW TO MAKE
PAPER FANS.
FIRST, FOLD THE BOTTOM OF YOUR
PAPER.
THEN FOLD THE PAPER BACKWARD.
A brown haired girl with glasses says I THINK SAMIRA IS A GOOD
FAN TEACHER.
(music plays)
A girl with long light brown hair in a headband says SO, I'M GOING TO TEACH YOU
HOW TO DRAW CATS.
FIRST, YOU SHOULD MAKE THE
HEAD, A CIRCLE AND TWO
TRIANGLES CONNECTED.
THEN YOU SHOULD MAKE TWO EYES.
(music plays)
THAT'S GOOD.
A girl with short light brown hair with bangs says I'M GOING TO TEACH HOW TO
WALK ON YOUR HANDS.
I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU GUYS DO
SOMETHING SIMPLE, WHICH IS
CALLED A DONKEY KICK.
LAILA.
GOOD JOB!
NOW ALISSA.
GOOD JOB!
I'M ENCOURAGING THEM SO THEY
CAN GET ENERGY AND DO MUCH
BETTER.
ONCE YOU FEEL THAT YOU'LL BE
ABLE TO STAY UP LONGER, YOU
CAN START SLOWLY MOVING YOUR
HANDS.
YEAH, JUST LIKE THAT.
PERFECT.
A boy with wavy brown hair says TODAY, I'M TEACHING THESE
KIDS THREE RULES IN HOCKEY.
THIS NEXT PLAY IS CALLED
TRIPPING.
IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO TEACH
THAT SINCE I'M VERY
EXPERIENCED WITH HOCKEY.
AND I'M USING A PROJECTOR TO
SHOW THE KIDS ON THE RUG.
WHEN A PLAYER ON ONE TEAM PUTS
HIS HOCKEY STICK IN A POSITION
WHERE IT FORCES ANOTHER PLAYER
ON A DIFFERENT TEAM TO TRIP
OVER, THE PLAY WILL BE STOPPED
AND TRIPPING WILL BE CALLED.
SO, REMEMBER, TRIPPING GETS
YOU A TRIP TO THE PENALTY BOX.
(music plays)
The kids say AND NOW, BACK TO
ARTHUR.
(music plays)
Another episode plays.
Arthur is in bed, reading a Bionic Bunny comic book.
Mum says ARTHUR, BUSTER'S
HERE!
Arthur says EVERYONE HAS
SOMETHING SUPER SPECIAL THEY
DON'T WANT TO SHARE.
LIKE MY SPECIAL EDITION BIONIC
BUNNY COMIC BOOK.
He hides his book behind a poster.
(music plays)
Buster says ARTHUR!
(music plays)
Buster says HEY!
Arthur says HEY, WHAT'S UP?
(music plays)
Arthur says EVEN Mr. RATBURN HAS
SOMETHING HE WON'T SHARE WITH
ANYONE.
Mister Ratburn unlocks a box with a pen inside.
(music plays)
Arthur says OR BUSTER, WHO'S
TAKEN THE CONCEPT OF FOODS FROM
AROUND THE WORLD TO A WHOLE
NEW LEVEL.
Buster eats a sandwich in the shape of a country and puts it on a world map.
Arthur says ALTHOUGH WHO'D WANNA EAT THAT
STUFF ANYWAY?
AND D.W.'S SPECIAL THING
ISN'T A THING AT ALL.
NO, IT'S A...
D.W. says DON'T TELL THEM!
THEY CAN'T EVEN KNOW!
MINE, MINE, MINE!
(music plays)
The name f the episode reads "That’s MY Grandma. Written by Cliff Ruby and Elana Lesser."
Grandma Thora says FEAST YOUR
EYES ON THIS.
MY KALE-CAULIFLOWER TART.
WHO WANTS THE FIRST PIECE?
Mum says OH, SORRY, TOO
MANY KALE CHIPS LAST NIGHT.
I'VE HIT MY KALE QUOTA.
Grandma Thora says D.W.?
[phone ringing]
D.W. says I'LL GET IT!
WHEW!
HELLO?
Emily says HI, IT'S EMILY.
GUESS WHAT I HAVE TO DO
TOMORROW?
GO WITH MARIE HELEN TO GET HER
DRIVERS LICENSE RENEWED.
D.W. says OH, NO!
THAT'S THE MOST BORING THING
EVER!
I WENT WITH MY MOM ONCE.
SHEER TORTURE.
Emily says I KNOW!
I WISH I COULD GET OUT OF IT.
(music plays)
D.W. says HMM...
DON'T WORRY.
I HAVE AN IDEA.
IT'S ALL FIXED.
GRANDMA THORA SAID SHE'D
BABYSIT.
AND SHE'S SUPER FUN.
Grandma Thora and D.W. play dress up and watch TV.
(music plays)
On T.V, a boy hugs a dog and says YOU SAVED ME, NOODLES.
YOU'RE THE BEST DOG EVER!
[sniffing]
D.W. and Grandma Thora go to the amusing park and say WOO-HOO!
[laughter]
D.W. says WOO-HOO!
Emily says WOW, THANKS, D.W.
SHE SOUNDS AMAZING!
(music plays)
The next day, Emily calls D.W. and says YOU WERE SO RIGHT!
WE'VE BEEN PLAYING FAIRY
PRINCESS FOR HOURS AND HOURS.
WE EVEN WATCHED "POKIE THE
PANDA" TWICE!
D.W. says YOU DID?
I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET.
Emily says WHY'D YOU CALL?
D.W. says I FORGOT TO TELL YOU.
DON'T EAT ANYTHING GRANDMA
THORA CALLS A "TART."
Grandma Thora says PIZZA'S
HERE, EMILY.
Emily says THANK YOU, Mrs. READ.
GOTTA GO.
(music plays)
D.W. says PIZZA?
"POKIE THE PANDA"?
(music plays)
Nadine, D.W.’s imaginary friend, pops up and says THAT SURE WAS NICE
OF YOU TO SHARE GRANDMA THORA.
SHE'S TREATING YOUR FRIEND
BETTER THAN SHE TREATS YOU.
D.W. says IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
I'M SURE WE'LL DO ALL THOSE
THINGS NEXT TIME GRANDMA
BABYSITS ME.
LOOK, MOM, IT'S A COUPON FOR
WALLY'S HOUSE OF SCHNITZEL.
WHY DON'T YOU AND DAD GO?
YOU DESERVE SOME ALONE TIME.
THAT'S WHAT HOPRAH SAYS ON TV.
Mum says WE DO LOVE
WALLY'S.
HMM, MAYBE SATURDAY NIGHT.
OF COURSE, WE'LL NEED A
SITTER...
(music plays)
[doorbell ringing]
D.W. opens the door and says OH!
YOU'RE NOT GRANDMA THORA.
Mum says OH, DIDN'T I
TELL YOU?
GRANDMA THORA COULDN'T MAKE IT
TONIGHT.
SHE'S BABYSITTING VICITA.
D.W. says WHAT?!
(music plays)
GRANDMA THORA ISN'T COMING.
SHE'S...
[gasps]
PLAYING AND EATING AND HAVING
FUN!
Arthur says YOU CAN'T JUST SPY
ON PEOPLE.
D.W. says I'M NOT SPYING!
I'M JUST...
CHECKING TO SEE IF GRANDMA
THORA'S ALL RIGHT.
FINE, I'LL JUST HAVE MORE FUN
WITH MY BABYSITTER.
D.W. brings board games and puzzles to play with the babysitter.
[phone clicking]
The babysitter texts and says SORRY, IN THE
MIDDLE OF SOMETHING.
(music plays)
[jingling]
The babysitter listens to music and takes selfies as D.W. gets bored.
(music plays)
[pop music playing]
[shutter clicking]
(music plays)
Thora and Emily wave at her through the window.
In the park, Vicita says WE HAD SOOOO MUCH
FUN!
SHE PLAYED DOMINOES AND
DRESS-UP AND THEN SHE READ ME
"LOS TRES CERDITOS."
D.W. says WHAT'S THAT?
Vicita says "THREE LITTLE PIGS,"
IN SPANISH.
D.W. says GRANDMA THORA KNOWS
SPANISH?!
Vicita says SHE'S BABYSITTING
BUD ON SATURDAY.
EVERYBODY WANTS HER TO
BABYSIT.
D.W. says EVERYBODY?
(music plays)
D.W. imagines Arthur is Grandma Thora’s agent.
Arthur says HOLD FOR GRANDMA.
I'LL HAVE TO RESCHEDULE YOUR
THREE O'CLOCK.
HOW DOES NEXT MONTH SOUND?
[phones ringing]
Arthur says GRANDMA THORA'S
BABYSITTING SERVICE, BEST
BABYSITTER EVER.
D.W. says I WANT TO TALK TO
GRANDMA.
Arthur says AND YOU ARE...?

Arthur says HOW DO YOU SPELL
THAT?
D.W. says IT'S A D AND A W!
JUST TELL HER HER
GRANDDAUGHTER'S ON THE PHONE!
I NEED HER TO BABYSIT ME.
Arthur says I'M SORRY, SHE'S
NOT TAKING ON ANY NEW CLIENTS.
[gasps]
A girl on Grandma Thora’s lap says YOU'RE MY ABSOLUTELY MOST
FAVOURITE BABYSITTER EVER,
Mrs. READ.
Grandma Thora says "Mrs.
READ"?
OH, JUST CALL ME GRANDMA
THORA!
D.W. says BUT... BUT THAT'S
MY
GRANDMA!
NADINE!
THIS HAS TO STOP!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
AHH!
Timmy and Tommy throw sand at her.
[whistling]
Nadine says LUCKY FOR GRANDMA
SHE'S NEVER HAD TO BABYSIT
THOSE TWO?!
D.W. says HMM.
YOU'RE RIGHT...
NO ONE WOULD EVER WANT TO
BABYSIT AGAIN AFTER THAT!
(music plays)
At school, D.W. says IT'S EASY.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK MY
GRANDMA TO BABYSIT YOU.
Tommy says WHY DO WE WANNA DO
THAT?
D.W. says 'CAUSE IT'S FUN!
SHE'LL LET YOU JUMP ON THE
FURNITURE AND MAKE A HUGE
MESS.
Tommy says WE ALREADY DO THAT.
Timmy whispers something to Tommy.
Tommy says OKAY, WE'LL DO IT.
FOR A PRICE.
D.W. sighs and says OKAY, FINE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Timmy says THAT.
D.W. grabs her toy unicorn and says UNI?
YOU CAN'T HAVE UNI!
Tommy says THEN NO DEAL.
(music plays)
[gulping]
D.W. says OOOOOKAY...
Tommy says GIVE... HER!
D.W. says I... AM!
Tommy says DEAL!
The boys say WOO HOO!

At Tommy and Timmy’s, Grandma Thora says GO!
(music plays)
The boys start running along an obstacle course.
D.W. watch them from behind a tree.
Tommy says JUMP!
(music plays)
[grunting]
[panting]
Grandma Thora says TOMMY, YOU

THAT'S 22 WINS FOR YOU AND
22 WINS FOR TIMMY.
Tommy says THE TOUGH GUY
OBSTACLE COURSE IS THE MOST
FUN WE'VE EVER HAD.
Timmy says YEAH!
CAN YOU BABYSIT US FOREVER?
D.W. gaps.
At home, Nadine says ADMIT IT.
MAYBE YOU'RE JUST A TEENY BIT
JEALOUS.
D.W. says WHO, ME?
I'M NOT JEALOUS.
I JUST DON'T LIKE SHARING MY
GRANDMA WITH EVERYONE ELSE,
THAT'S ALL.
WHY WOULD YOU THINK I'M
JEALOUS?
[buzzing]
Nadine says OH, SORRY!
I HAVE TO GO!
GRANDMA THORA'S BABYSITTING
ME.
(music plays)
D.W. says WHAT?!
THAT DOES IT!
DESPERATE TIMES CALL FOR
DESPERATE MEASURES.
In the sandbox, D.W. says SHE JUST PRETENDS TO
BE NICE THE FIRST TIME SHE
BABYSITS TO FOOL YOU.
Emily says REALLY?
D.W. says YEAH, THEN HER TRUE
NATURE COMES OUT THE SECOND
TIME.
Vicita says IT DOES?
D.W. says SHE MAKES YOU WATCH
BORING TV FOR HOURS.
Emily says LIKE WHAT?
D.W. says LIKE KNOW YOUR
APPLIANCES WITH "HANDY HAL."
Emily says UGH!
Bud says YEEUUGH!
D.W. says THEN SHE MAKES YOU
GO TO BED BEFORE DARK.
Bud says NO WAY!
D.W. says BUT THE WORST IS...
HER SPIDER COLLECTION!
SHE KEEPS IT IN HER BIG BAG.
Emily says SPIDER COLLECTION?
BUT SHE'S COMING TO BABYSIT ME
TONIGHT.
FOR THE
SECOND
TIME.
D.W. says WELL, NOT ALL THE
SPIDERS ARE POISONOUS.
JUST MOST.
[gasping]
[doorbell ringing]
Grandma Thora says HELLO AGAIN,
EMILY.
I'VE BROUGHT SOMETHING
SPECIAL... JUST FOR YOU.
Emily says AHHH!
[lightning crashes]
Emily says NO!
SPIDERS!
Emily shuts the door.
Grandma Thora says OH, DEAR.
(music plays)
Arthur says MOM, WE GOTTA GO!
Mum says I KNOW.
HERE COMES THORA NOW.
D.W. says GRANDMA'S BABYSITTING
ME?
YES!
IT WORKED!
WOO-HOO!
D.W. hugs her.
Grandma Thora says WELL, WELL!
SOMEONE'S HAPPY TO SEE ME.
D.W. says WHAT DO WE DO FIRST?
CAN WE WATCH A MOVIE?
OOH, OOH!
LET'S WATCH ICICLE PRINCESS!
Grandma Thora says WE'LL SEE.
THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING EVEN
BETTER ON!
(music plays)
Handy Hal says ON TODAY'S SHOW,
WINTERIZING YOUR SWAMP COOLER!
[clattering]
D.W. says HANDY HAL?
Grandma Thora says EVERYBODY
KNOWS I JUST LOVE THIS SHOW.
D.W. says CAN'T WE PLAY TOWER
OF COWS INSTEAD?
Grandma Thora says WHY SURE.
OH, WAIT, LOOK AT THE TIME.
BETTER GO WASH UP FOR BED.
D.W. says BED?!
BUT IT'S NOT EVEN DARK YET!
Grandma Thora says WELL, MAYBE
WE DO HAVE TIME FOR A LITTLE
TREAT FIRST.
(music plays)
Grandma Thora takes a handful of plastic spiders out of her purse.
D.W. says AHHHH!
SPIDERS!
GET THEM, GRANDMA!
Grandma Thora says WHAT'S WRONG,
D.W.?
I JUST BROUGHT MY SPIDER
COLLECTION SO I WOULDN'T
DISAPPOINT YOU.
SINCE YOU TOLD EVERYBODY ABOUT
IT.
D.W. says I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO.
IT'S JUST... NOW WE DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING SPECIAL ANYMORE.
Grandma Thora says REALLY?
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT?
D.W. says BECAUSE YOU BABYSIT
EVERYONE!
YOU READ SPANISH TO VICITA AND
PLAYED FAIRY PRINCESS WITH
EMILY.
Grandma Thora says TRUE, BUT
NONE OF THEM ARE MY
GRANDDAUGHTER... WHICH MAKES
YOU PRETTY SPECIAL.
D.W. says IT DOES?
Grandma Thora says OF COURSE IT
DOES.
AND I NEVER, EVER PLAY THIS
WITH ANYBODY ELSE.
D.W. says OHH!
YOU BROUGHT UNI BACK!
Grandma Thora says APPARENTLY,
SOMEBODY WHO LOVES THEIR
GRANDMA A LOT TRADED IT TO THE
TIBBLES.
LUCKILY, THEY AREN'T VERY GOOD
AT MARBLES.
[kitchen timer beeping]
Grandma Thora says HEY, IT'S
READY.
AND LOOK, WE GET TO SHARE MY
KALE-CAULIFLOWER TART
TOGETHER.
[munching]
D.W. says I NEVER THOUGHT I'D
SAY THIS, BUT IT'S THE BEST
TART I EVER HAD.
Grandma Thora strokes D.W.’s hair and finds a spider in it.
[gasping]
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 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 says HEY, D.W.!
D.W. says HEY!
Arthur says WHOA!
OOF!
Arthur falls backwards and a caption reads "Based on the Arthur adventure books by Marc Brown."
The end credits roll as the theme song plays.
(music plays)
D.W. and Bud play in the backyard.
Bud says FOLKS ARE ALWAYS
TRYING TO DO IMPOSSIBLE
THINGS.
IT'S IN OUR NATURE.
D.W. says REMEMBER WHEN WE
CLIMBED THAT MOUNTAIN?
(music plays)
They climb up a pile of laundry.
Bud says WE MADE IT!
Ladonna says HEY!
I HAD THOSE ALL SORTED!
Bud says OR HOW 'BOUT THAT TIME
WE SWAM WITH SHARKS?
(music plays)
In the kiddie pool, D.W. says FASTER, BUD!
THEY'RE GAINING ON US!
[suspenseful music playing]
Arthur says HEY!
WATCH IT!
Bud says NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
FOR US!
D.W. says NOTHING!
Bud says NOT EVEN...
FIGHTING THE WORLD'S SMELLIEST
MONSTER!
(music plays)
Bud says BACK FROM WHENCE YOU
CAME, MONSTER!
(music plays)
[sizzling]
Wearing a mask, he picks up a dirty diaper from the trash with a pair of kitchen tongs.
The name of the episode reads "Bud’s Knotty Problem. Witten by Raye Lankford."
Bud and Landonna run to the kitchen in their pajamas.
They fight over the paper.
Ladonna says I CALL THE
FUNNIES!
Bud says NOT IF I GET THERE
FIRST!
Ladonna says I'M OLDER!
Bud says I'M CUTER!
Ladonna says I'M NICER!
Bud says I'M FUNNIER!
Ladonna says YOU CAN'T EVEN
READ!
Bud says SO?
I LIKE THE PICTURES!
Ladonna says I'LL LET GO IF YOU
CAN GUESS THE NUMBER I'M
THINKING OF RIGHT NOW.
Bud says SEVEN!
Ladonna says NOPE.
IT WAS FIVE.
Bud says OHH!
I WANTED TO MAKE COPIES OF
THEM WITH MY DAFFY DOUGH!
Ladonna says HERE, TAKE THE ADS.
THEY'RE JUST AS COLOURFUL.
(music plays)
Bud says WHOA!
NOW
THAT'S
A PAIR OF BOOTS!
A KID COULD HAVE SOME SERIOUS
FUN IN THOSE.
(music plays)
He imagines he’s a giant in the boots, scaring the citizens as he walks.
[screaming]
Bud says THEY WOULD STOMP SO
LOUD, THE WHOLE TOWN WOULD
KNOW YOU WERE COMING!
[loud stomping]
(music plays)
Bud says AND THEY'D BE GREAT FOR
SPLASHING IN PUDDLES!
[splash]
He jumps on a puddle and sputters mud over Landonna.
Ladonna says BUD COMPSON!
Bud says AND STUFF COULD FALL
ON YOUR FEET AND IT WOULDN'T
HURT ONE ITTY-BIT.
EVEN A METEORITE!
A meteorite falls on the park.
Emily says AH!
[whooshing sound]
Bud kicks it back to space.
Ladonna says WELL, YOU'D HAVE
TO LEARN HOW TO TIE YOUR SHOES
FIRST.
THOSE BOOTS HAVE LACES.
Bud says OH, YEAH.
WHY, OH WHY COULDN'T THEY BE
SLIP-ONS?!
TRULY I AM VEXED.
Ladonna says BUD, YOU HAVE TO
LEARN TO TIE YOUR LACES
SOMEDAY.
Bud says I'VE TRIED!
IT JUST DOESN'T WORK!
THESE FINGERS ARE ALLERGIC TO
KNOTS!
Mrs. Compson says YOU HAVE TO
KEEP TRYING, BUTTER BEAN.
IF YOU CAN SHOW ME YOU CAN TIE
YOUR LACES, I'LL GET YOU THOSE
BOOTS.
Bud says YOU ARE GOING TO BE
MINE, BOOTS.
(music plays)
He makes a copy of the boots with the daffy dough.
Bud says I SWEAR IT!
In her bedroom, D.W., Emily and Bud play high tea.
D.W. says YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO
TIE YOUR SHOES?
Bud says NOPE.
BUT IF I LEARN, I CAN GET
THESE BOOTS.
Emily says THOSE ARE BOOTS?
IT LOOKS MORE LIKE A MONET.
Bud says WELL, THE PICTURE WAS
BETTER BEFORE I SLEPT ON IT.
PASS THE BISCUITS, PLEASE.
(music plays)
D.W. says HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW
HOW TO TIE YOUR SHOES?
YOU'RE FOUR YEARS OLD!
I'VE BEEN TYING MY SHOES FOR
MONTHS NOW.
Bud says THEN HOW COME THOSE
DON'T HAVE LACES?
D.W. says IT'S A FASHION
STATEMENT.
BUT I HAVE LACE-UP SNEAKS AT
HOME.
Emily says I HAVE SOMETHING
THAT MIGHT HELP: MARTIN THE
MIME TIES HIS SHOES!
(music plays)
[accordion music playing]
D.W. says WHAT IS HE DOING?
Emily says TYING HIS SHOES,
SEE?
[Emily giggles]
(music plays)
Bud says BUT HE'S IN SOCKS.
Emily says THEY'RE IMAGINARY
SHOES.
Bud says SO, WHY CAN'T HE
IMAGINE THEY'RE ALREADY TIED?
Emily says BECAUSE THEN THERE
WOULD BE NO POINT TO THE
VIDEO.
Bud says BUT TYING IMAGINARY
SHOES IS EASY.
I DO THAT ALL THE TIME.
D.W. says WHAT'S HE DOING NOW?
Emily says HE'S IN A BOX.
D.W. says WHY?
Emily says BECAUSE HE'S A MIME!
Bud says THERE'S AN IMAGINARY
DOOR RIGHT THERE TO YOUR LEFT,
MARTIN!
NO, NO, NO, THE OTHER LEFT!
Emily says OH, FORGET IT!
(music plays)
Bud says IF THAT'S HOW YOU
LEARN HOW TO TIE YOUR LACES,
I'M IN BIG TROUBLE.
D.W. says OH, DON'T PAY ANY
ATTENTION TO THAT MIME.
I CAN TEACH YOU.
Bud says REALLY?
D.W. says SURE!
ALL WE NEED IS A PAIR OF
SHOES.
(music plays)
D.W. says THESE SHOULD DO THE
TRICK.
(music plays)
Bud says THEY'RE TOO BIG.
D.W. says SO WHAT?
THEY HAVE LACES; THAT'S ALL
THAT MATTERS.
Bud says YOU DON'T HAVE THEM
IN BLACK, DO YOU?
I HATE BROWN.
D.W. says BUD!
Bud says OKAY, OKAY!
D.W. says FIRST, YOU MAKE TWO
BUNNY EARS.
THEN ONE BUNNY GOES AROUND THE
TREE, INTO THE HOLE, AND COMES
BACK OUT AGAIN.
THEN PULL TIGHT.
TA DA!
NOW YOU TRY.
OKAY, MAKE THE TWO EARS...
GOOD.
WAIT, WHAT'S THAT?
Bud says HIS TAIL.
D.W. says HE DOESN'T HAVE A
TAIL!
Bud says ALL BUNNIES HAVE A
TAIL.
D.W. says WELL, NOT THIS ONE!
START AGAIN!
Bud says POOR LITTLE FELLER.
D.W. says OKAY, YOU'VE GOT THE
EARS.
NOW HE GOES AROUND THE TREE,
AND INTO THE HOLE, AND... NO!
HE CAN'T COME OUT THE SAME
HOLE!
(music plays)
D.W. says WAIT, NOW YOU'VE LOST
HIM!
WHERE'S YOUR BUNNY, BUD?
Bud says I DON'T KNOW!
MAYBE HE WENT TO GO FIND HIS
TAIL!
HELP!
I'M STUCK!
D.W. sighs and says THIS IS GOING TO BE HARDER
THAN I THOUGHT.
OKAY, LET'S TRY AGAIN.
Bud says I THINK I'M DONE.
D.W. says WHAT?
YOU'RE NOT GIVING UP, ARE YOU?
Bud says LET'S FACE IT, THERE'S
LOTS OF THINGS I'M GOOD AT:
ANIMAL NOISES, KNOCK-KNOCK
JOKES, STARING CONTESTS.
BUT TYING SHOES JUST ISN'T ONE
OF THEM.
THANKS FOR TRYING.
D.W. says I THINK YOU'RE
FORGETTING SOMETHING.
Bud steps off the shoes and says OH, YEAH.
TOO BAD.
THE BROWN WAS REALLY GROWING
ON ME.
(music plays)
In his bedroom, Bud looks at his boots and says GUESS YOU AND ME ARE
STUCK TOGETHER.
He says to his stuffed dinosaur WAS THERE EVER ANYTHING YOU
JUST COULDN'T DO, RAPTY?
(music plays)
Rapty comes alive and says OH, SURE!
LOADS OF THINGS!
Bud says LIKE WHAT?
Rapty says WELL, UM, ROARING.
OH, WAIT, I'M GREAT AT THAT.
SCARING PEOPLE?
NO, I'M PRETTY GOOD AT THAT,
TOO.
Bud says I KNEW IT!
YOU'RE GOOD AT EVERYTHING!
Rapty says WAIT, I GOT IT!
I CAN'T CLAP, REMEMBER?
Bud says OH, YEAH, RIGHT.
GOING TO PLAYS MUST BE VERY
EMBARRASSING FOR YOU.
Rapty says I PREFER MOVIES.
(music plays)
Bud says IF I CAN'T DO A BABY
THING LIKE TIE MY SHOES, WHAT
ELSE WON'T I BE ABLE TO DO?
(music plays)
He imagines tiny versions of Emily and D.W. are on his bed.
Emily says I HEARD THAT BUD
CAN'T PLAY BADMINTON.
D.W. says WELL, THAT'S NOTHING!
NGGH!
I HEARD HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
HOW TO WRITE A CHEQUE.
(music plays)
Emily says THAT'S TERRIBLE!
HOW WILL HE EVER BUY A CAR?
D.W. says WHAT DOES HE NEED A
CAR FOR?
HE WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT!
[laughing]
Bud says I WILL TOO DRIVE A CAR!
AND I'M ALSO GONNA TIE MY
SHOES.
(music plays)
He takes his shoes off the closet, blows the dust off them and puts them by the bed, next to his boots.
[blowing]
(music plays)
The next day, Landonna eats cereal in the kitchen.
Bud says OOF!
Ladonna says HUH?
Bud says OH, FLITTER!
Ladonna says CHECKING THE
CARPET FOR FLEAS?
Bud says I'M TEACHING MYSELF
HOW TO TIE MY SHOES.
BUT THE BUNNIES WON'T
COOPERATE.
Ladonna says I'LL HELP YOU.
LET'S GO OUTSIDE.
THE GRASS IS A LOT SOFTER THAN
THAT FLOOR.
FORGET ABOUT THE RABBITS.
THERE ARE NO RABBITS.
FIRST, MAKE AN X.
X MARKS THE SPOT.
Bud says LIKE ON A TREASURE
MAP?
Ladonna says RIGHT, ONLY THIS
TIME THE TREASURE IS THOSE NEW
BOOTS.
THEN YOU MAKE A LOOP LIKE THIS
AND WRAP THE OTHER LACE AROUND
IT, SEE?
(music plays)
He steps on his shoelaces and one of the shoes come off.
Bud says NGGH!
(music plays)
Ladonna says AGAIN!
(music plays)
Bud says WHOA!
SWEET PETUNIA!
(music plays)
He trips and falls.
Ladonna says AGAIN.
(music plays)
Bud says I DID IT.
I THINK I REALLY DID IT!
I TIED MY SHOES!
GAHHH!
(music plays)
Ladonna says YEAH, YOU TIED 'EM
ALL RIGHT.
TO EACH OTHER.
YOU NEED A BREAK?
Bud says UN-UNH.
Ladonna says AGAIN!
(music plays)
Bud keeps trying in his room.
He sighs and says I WONDER HOW MANY TIMES
I'LL FALL TODAY.
Rapty says WELL, YOUR DAILY
AVERAGE HAS BEEN ABOUT 26.
MAYBE 25 TODAY?
(music plays)
Rapty says OH!
BUD!
Bud says WHAT?
Rapty says LOOK!
(music plays)
Bud says I DID IT!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
I REALLY DID IT!
Rapty says YAY!
(music plays)
Bud says KEEP TRYING!
I GOTTA GO.
Rapty tries clapping.
(music plays)
Bud says MOM, I DID IT!
Mrs. Compson takes Bud to the show store.
Mrs. Compson says WELL, WHAT DO
YOU THINK, BUD?
WALK AROUND A BIT.
(music plays)
Bud says HUH.
Mrs. Compson says WHAT'S THE
MATTER?
Bud says THEY'RE SO HEAVY.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE I'M WALKING
IN MUD.
The salesman says YOU'LL GET USED
TO THAT.
Bud says AND MY CALVES ARE SO
ITCHY.
Mrs. Compson says YOU DON'T
WANT THEM, DO YOU?
Bud says NOPE.
BUT THERE IS SOMETHING I DO
WANT.
He grabs a pair of colourful printed shoelaces and says THESE!
Back home, he says PRETTY SNAZZY, RIGHT, RAPTY?
Rapty says I'LL SAY!
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MINE?
(music plays)
Bud says I LOVE 'EM!
(music plays)
Bud takes off his shoes and puts on his boots.
He says AHHH, THAT'S BETTER.
DID YOU MISS ME, BOYS?
Rapty says WHY'D YOU CHANGE
YOUR SHOES?
Bud says THESE ARE STILL MY
FAVOURITES.
BUT DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE.
SOMEDAY I'M GOING TO REPLACE
YOU.
WITH ROLLER SKATES!
(music plays)
Now a real life clip shows kids in a classroom.
The kids say AND NOW, A WORD FROM
US KIDS.
The Teacher says BUD LEARNED TO TIE
HIS SHOES WITH HELP FROM HIS
FRIEND D.W.
TODAY, YOU ARE GOING TO TEACH
SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO
DO.
A girl with short wavy blond hair says I'M GOING TO TEACH HOW TO
DO A CARTWHEEL.
TO BE A GOOD TEACHER, YOU HAVE
TO SPEAK VERY CLEARLY.
YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO PUT
YOUR HANDS ON THE GROUND AND
THEN PUT ONE FOOT OVER AND
THEN TRY TO DO THE OTHER ONE.
GREAT JOB, LAILA.
Samira, a brown haired girl in a coral jacket, says TODAY, I'M GOING TO
TEACH YOU GUYS HOW TO MAKE
PAPER FANS.
FIRST, FOLD THE BOTTOM OF YOUR
PAPER.
THEN FOLD THE PAPER BACKWARD.
A brown haired girl with glasses says I THINK SAMIRA IS A GOOD
FAN TEACHER.
(music plays)
A girl with long light brown hair in a headband says SO, I'M GOING TO TEACH YOU
HOW TO DRAW CATS.
FIRST, YOU SHOULD MAKE THE
HEAD, A CIRCLE AND TWO
TRIANGLES CONNECTED.
THEN YOU SHOULD MAKE TWO EYES.
(music plays)
THAT'S GOOD.
A girl with short light brown hair with bangs says I'M GOING TO TEACH HOW TO
WALK ON YOUR HANDS.
I'M GOING TO HAVE YOU GUYS DO
SOMETHING SIMPLE, WHICH IS
CALLED A DONKEY KICK.
LAILA.
GOOD JOB!
NOW ALISSA.
GOOD JOB!
I'M ENCOURAGING THEM SO THEY
CAN GET ENERGY AND DO MUCH
BETTER.
ONCE YOU FEEL THAT YOU'LL BE
ABLE TO STAY UP LONGER, YOU
CAN START SLOWLY MOVING YOUR
HANDS.
YEAH, JUST LIKE THAT.
PERFECT.
A boy with wavy brown hair says TODAY, I'M TEACHING THESE
KIDS THREE RULES IN HOCKEY.
THIS NEXT PLAY IS CALLED
TRIPPING.
IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO TEACH
THAT SINCE I'M VERY
EXPERIENCED WITH HOCKEY.
AND I'M USING A PROJECTOR TO
SHOW THE KIDS ON THE RUG.
WHEN A PLAYER ON ONE TEAM PUTS
HIS HOCKEY STICK IN A POSITION
WHERE IT FORCES ANOTHER PLAYER
ON A DIFFERENT TEAM TO TRIP
OVER, THE PLAY WILL BE STOPPED
AND TRIPPING WILL BE CALLED.
SO, REMEMBER, TRIPPING GETS
YOU A TRIP TO THE PENALTY BOX.
(music plays)
The kids say AND NOW, BACK TO
ARTHUR.
(music plays)
Another episode plays.
Arthur is in bed, reading a Bionic Bunny comic book.
Mum says ARTHUR, BUSTER'S
HERE!
Arthur says EVERYONE HAS
SOMETHING SUPER SPECIAL THEY
DON'T WANT TO SHARE.
LIKE MY SPECIAL EDITION BIONIC
BUNNY COMIC BOOK.
He hides his book behind a poster.
(music plays)
Buster says ARTHUR!
(music plays)
Buster says HEY!
Arthur says HEY, WHAT'S UP?
(music plays)
Arthur says EVEN Mr. RATBURN HAS
SOMETHING HE WON'T SHARE WITH
ANYONE.
Mister Ratburn unlocks a box with a pen inside.
(music plays)
Arthur says OR BUSTER, WHO'S
TAKEN THE CONCEPT OF FOODS FROM
AROUND THE WORLD TO A WHOLE
NEW LEVEL.
Buster eats a sandwich in the shape of a country and puts it on a world map.
Arthur says ALTHOUGH WHO'D WANNA EAT THAT
STUFF ANYWAY?
AND D.W.'S SPECIAL THING
ISN'T A THING AT ALL.
NO, IT'S A...
D.W. says DON'T TELL THEM!
THEY CAN'T EVEN KNOW!
MINE, MINE, MINE!
(music plays)
The name f the episode reads "That’s MY Grandma. Written by Cliff Ruby and Elana Lesser."
Grandma Thora says FEAST YOUR
EYES ON THIS.
MY KALE-CAULIFLOWER TART.
WHO WANTS THE FIRST PIECE?
Mum says OH, SORRY, TOO
MANY KALE CHIPS LAST NIGHT.
I'VE HIT MY KALE QUOTA.
Grandma Thora says D.W.?
[phone ringing]
D.W. says I'LL GET IT!
WHEW!
HELLO?
Emily says HI, IT'S EMILY.
GUESS WHAT I HAVE TO DO
TOMORROW?
GO WITH MARIE HELEN TO GET HER
DRIVERS LICENSE RENEWED.
D.W. says OH, NO!
THAT'S THE MOST BORING THING
EVER!
I WENT WITH MY MOM ONCE.
SHEER TORTURE.
Emily says I KNOW!
I WISH I COULD GET OUT OF IT.
(music plays)
D.W. says HMM...
DON'T WORRY.
I HAVE AN IDEA.
IT'S ALL FIXED.
GRANDMA THORA SAID SHE'D
BABYSIT.
AND SHE'S SUPER FUN.
Grandma Thora and D.W. play dress up and watch TV.
(music plays)
On T.V, a boy hugs a dog and says YOU SAVED ME, NOODLES.
YOU'RE THE BEST DOG EVER!
[sniffing]
D.W. and Grandma Thora go to the amusing park and say WOO-HOO!
[laughter]
D.W. says WOO-HOO!
Emily says WOW, THANKS, D.W.
SHE SOUNDS AMAZING!
(music plays)
The next day, Emily calls D.W. and says YOU WERE SO RIGHT!
WE'VE BEEN PLAYING FAIRY
PRINCESS FOR HOURS AND HOURS.
WE EVEN WATCHED "POKIE THE
PANDA" TWICE!
D.W. says YOU DID?
I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT YET.
Emily says WHY'D YOU CALL?
D.W. says I FORGOT TO TELL YOU.
DON'T EAT ANYTHING GRANDMA
THORA CALLS A "TART."
Grandma Thora says PIZZA'S
HERE, EMILY.
Emily says THANK YOU, Mrs. READ.
GOTTA GO.
(music plays)
D.W. says PIZZA?
"POKIE THE PANDA"?
(music plays)
Nadine, D.W.’s imaginary friend, pops up and says THAT SURE WAS NICE
OF YOU TO SHARE GRANDMA THORA.
SHE'S TREATING YOUR FRIEND
BETTER THAN SHE TREATS YOU.
D.W. says IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
I'M SURE WE'LL DO ALL THOSE
THINGS NEXT TIME GRANDMA
BABYSITS ME.
LOOK, MOM, IT'S A COUPON FOR
WALLY'S HOUSE OF SCHNITZEL.
WHY DON'T YOU AND DAD GO?
YOU DESERVE SOME ALONE TIME.
THAT'S WHAT HOPRAH SAYS ON TV.
Mum says WE DO LOVE
WALLY'S.
HMM, MAYBE SATURDAY NIGHT.
OF COURSE, WE'LL NEED A
SITTER...
(music plays)
[doorbell ringing]
D.W. opens the door and says OH!
YOU'RE NOT GRANDMA THORA.
Mum says OH, DIDN'T I
TELL YOU?
GRANDMA THORA COULDN'T MAKE IT
TONIGHT.
SHE'S BABYSITTING VICITA.
D.W. says WHAT?!
(music plays)
GRANDMA THORA ISN'T COMING.
SHE'S...
[gasps]
PLAYING AND EATING AND HAVING
FUN!
Arthur says YOU CAN'T JUST SPY
ON PEOPLE.
D.W. says I'M NOT SPYING!
I'M JUST...
CHECKING TO SEE IF GRANDMA
THORA'S ALL RIGHT.
FINE, I'LL JUST HAVE MORE FUN
WITH MY BABYSITTER.
D.W. brings board games and puzzles to play with the babysitter.
[phone clicking]
The babysitter texts and says SORRY, IN THE
MIDDLE OF SOMETHING.
(music plays)
[jingling]
The babysitter listens to music and takes selfies as D.W. gets bored.
(music plays)
[pop music playing]
[shutter clicking]
(music plays)
Thora and Emily wave at her through the window.
In the park, Vicita says WE HAD SOOOO MUCH
FUN!
SHE PLAYED DOMINOES AND
DRESS-UP AND THEN SHE READ ME
"LOS TRES CERDITOS."
D.W. says WHAT'S THAT?
Vicita says "THREE LITTLE PIGS,"
IN SPANISH.
D.W. says GRANDMA THORA KNOWS
SPANISH?!
Vicita says SHE'S BABYSITTING
BUD ON SATURDAY.
EVERYBODY WANTS HER TO
BABYSIT.
D.W. says EVERYBODY?
(music plays)
D.W. imagines Arthur is Grandma Thora’s agent.
Arthur says HOLD FOR GRANDMA.
I'LL HAVE TO RESCHEDULE YOUR
THREE O'CLOCK.
HOW DOES NEXT MONTH SOUND?
[phones ringing]
Arthur says GRANDMA THORA'S
BABYSITTING SERVICE, BEST
BABYSITTER EVER.
D.W. says I WANT TO TALK TO
GRANDMA.
Arthur says AND YOU ARE...?
D.W. says D.W.
Arthur says HOW DO YOU SPELL
THAT?
D.W. says IT'S A D AND A W!
JUST TELL HER HER
GRANDDAUGHTER'S ON THE PHONE!
I NEED HER TO BABYSIT ME.
Arthur says I'M SORRY, SHE'S
NOT TAKING ON ANY NEW CLIENTS.
[gasps]
A girl on Grandma Thora’s lap says YOU'RE MY ABSOLUTELY MOST
FAVOURITE BABYSITTER EVER,
Mrs. READ.
Grandma Thora says "Mrs.
READ"?
OH, JUST CALL ME GRANDMA
THORA!
D.W. says BUT... BUT THAT'S
MY
GRANDMA!
NADINE!
THIS HAS TO STOP!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
AHH!
Timmy and Tommy throw sand at her.
[whistling]
Nadine says LUCKY FOR GRANDMA
SHE'S NEVER HAD TO BABYSIT
THOSE TWO?!
D.W. says HMM.
YOU'RE RIGHT...
NO ONE WOULD EVER WANT TO
BABYSIT AGAIN AFTER THAT!
(music plays)
At school, D.W. says IT'S EASY.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK MY
GRANDMA TO BABYSIT YOU.
Tommy says WHY DO WE WANNA DO
THAT?
D.W. says 'CAUSE IT'S FUN!
SHE'LL LET YOU JUMP ON THE
FURNITURE AND MAKE A HUGE
MESS.
Tommy says WE ALREADY DO THAT.
Timmy whispers something to Tommy.
Tommy says OKAY, WE'LL DO IT.
FOR A PRICE.
D.W. sighs and says OKAY, FINE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Timmy says THAT.
D.W. grabs her toy unicorn and says UNI?
YOU CAN'T HAVE UNI!
Tommy says THEN NO DEAL.
(music plays)
[gulping]
D.W. says OOOOOKAY...
Tommy says GIVE... HER!
D.W. says I... AM!
Tommy says DEAL!
The boys say WOO HOO!

D.W. sighs and says SACRIFICES MUST BE MADE.
At Tommy and Timmy’s, Grandma Thora says GO!
(music plays)
The boys start running along an obstacle course.
D.W. watch them from behind a tree.
Tommy says JUMP!
(music plays)
[grunting]
[panting]
Grandma Thora says TOMMY, YOU
WIN.
THAT'S 22 WINS FOR YOU AND
22 WINS FOR TIMMY.
Tommy says THE TOUGH GUY
OBSTACLE COURSE IS THE MOST
FUN WE'VE EVER HAD.
Timmy says YEAH!
CAN YOU BABYSIT US FOREVER?
D.W. gaps.
At home, Nadine says ADMIT IT.
MAYBE YOU'RE JUST A TEENY BIT
JEALOUS.
D.W. says WHO, ME?
I'M NOT JEALOUS.
I JUST DON'T LIKE SHARING MY
GRANDMA WITH EVERYONE ELSE,
THAT'S ALL.
WHY WOULD YOU THINK I'M
JEALOUS?
[buzzing]
Nadine says OH, SORRY!
I HAVE TO GO!
GRANDMA THORA'S BABYSITTING
ME.
(music plays)
D.W. says WHAT?!
THAT DOES IT!
DESPERATE TIMES CALL FOR
DESPERATE MEASURES.
In the sandbox, D.W. says SHE JUST PRETENDS TO
BE NICE THE FIRST TIME SHE
BABYSITS TO FOOL YOU.
Emily says REALLY?
D.W. says YEAH, THEN HER TRUE
NATURE COMES OUT THE SECOND
TIME.
Vicita says IT DOES?
D.W. says SHE MAKES YOU WATCH
BORING TV FOR HOURS.
Emily says LIKE WHAT?
D.W. says LIKE KNOW YOUR
APPLIANCES WITH "HANDY HAL."
Emily says UGH!
Bud says YEEUUGH!
D.W. says THEN SHE MAKES YOU
GO TO BED BEFORE DARK.
Bud says NO WAY!
D.W. says BUT THE WORST IS...
HER SPIDER COLLECTION!
SHE KEEPS IT IN HER BIG BAG.
Emily says SPIDER COLLECTION?
BUT SHE'S COMING TO BABYSIT ME
TONIGHT.
FOR THE
SECOND
TIME.
D.W. says WELL, NOT ALL THE
SPIDERS ARE POISONOUS.
JUST MOST.
[gasping]
[doorbell ringing]
Grandma Thora says HELLO AGAIN,
EMILY.
I'VE BROUGHT SOMETHING
SPECIAL... JUST FOR YOU.
Emily says AHHH!
[lightning crashes]
Emily says NO!
SPIDERS!
Emily shuts the door.
Grandma Thora says OH, DEAR.
(music plays)
Arthur says MOM, WE GOTTA GO!
Mum says I KNOW.
HERE COMES THORA NOW.
D.W. says GRANDMA'S BABYSITTING
ME?
YES!
IT WORKED!
WOO-HOO!
D.W. hugs her.
Grandma Thora says WELL, WELL!
SOMEONE'S HAPPY TO SEE ME.
D.W. says WHAT DO WE DO FIRST?
CAN WE WATCH A MOVIE?
OOH, OOH!
LET'S WATCH ICICLE PRINCESS!
Grandma Thora says WE'LL SEE.
THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING EVEN
BETTER ON!
(music plays)
Handy Hal says ON TODAY'S SHOW,

[clattering]
D.W. says HANDY HAL?
Grandma Thora says EVERYBODY

Grandma Thora says WHY SURE.
OH, WAIT, LOOK AT THE TIME.
BETTER GO WASH UP FOR BED.
D.W. says BED?!
BUT IT'S NOT EVEN DARK YET!
Grandma Thora says WELL, MAYBE
WE DO HAVE TIME FOR A LITTLE
TREAT FIRST.
(music plays)
Grandma Thora takes a handful of plastic spiders out of her purse.
D.W. says AHHHH!
SPIDERS!
GET THEM, GRANDMA!
Grandma Thora says WHAT'S WRONG,
D.W.?
I JUST BROUGHT MY SPIDER
COLLECTION SO I WOULDN'T
DISAPPOINT YOU.
SINCE YOU TOLD EVERYBODY ABOUT
IT.
D.W. says I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO.
IT'S JUST... NOW WE DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING SPECIAL ANYMORE.
Grandma Thora says REALLY?
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT?
D.W. says BECAUSE YOU BABYSIT
EVERYONE!
YOU READ SPANISH TO VICITA AND
PLAYED FAIRY PRINCESS WITH
EMILY.
Grandma Thora says TRUE, BUT
NONE OF THEM ARE MY
GRANDDAUGHTER... WHICH MAKES
YOU PRETTY SPECIAL.
D.W. says IT DOES?
Grandma Thora says OF COURSE IT
DOES.
AND I NEVER, EVER PLAY THIS
WITH ANYBODY ELSE.
D.W. says OHH!
YOU BROUGHT UNI BACK!
Grandma Thora says APPARENTLY,
SOMEBODY WHO LOVES THEIR
GRANDMA A LOT TRADED IT TO THE
TIBBLES.
LUCKILY, THEY AREN'T VERY GOOD
AT MARBLES.
[kitchen timer beeping]
Grandma Thora says HEY, IT'S
READY.
AND LOOK, WE GET TO SHARE MY
KALE-CAULIFLOWER TART
TOGETHER.
[munching]
D.W. says I NEVER THOUGHT I'D
SAY THIS, BUT IT'S THE BEST
TART I EVER HAD.
Grandma Thora strokes D.W.’s hair and finds a spider in it.
[gasping]
The end credits roll as the theme song plays.
