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."

Arthur hosts a T.V. show and says WELCOME TO "KNOW
YOUR TEACHER," THE GAME SHOW
WHERE WE FIND OUT HOW MUCH YOU
KNOW ABOUT YOUR FAVOURITE
TEACHER.
OUR FIRST CONTESTANT IS...
BUSTER BAXTER!
[applause]
HI-YA, BUSTER!
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Buster says ELWOOD CITY, FOUR
BLOCKS FROM YOUR HOUSE.

Arthur says ARE YOU READY TO
PLAY "TEACHER TEST"?

Buster says YOU BET!

Arthur says NAME FOUR THINGS
ABOUT Mr. RATBURN THAT EVERYONE
KNOWS.

Buster says THAT'S EASY!
HE LOVES TO GIVE HOMEWORK!
[ding]
[applause]
HE LOVES TO GIVE TESTS!
[ding]
[applause]
HE'S REALLY, REALLY SMART.
[ding]
[applause]
AND...
HE LOVES TO GIVE A LOT OF
HOMEWORK!

Arthur says JUDGES?
[bell chimes]

The answer on the board reads "More Homework."

Arthur says WE'LL ACCEPT IT.
[applause]
YOU'VE MADE IT TO ROUND TWO.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?

Buster says EXCITED, NERVOUS -
BUT MAINLY HUNGRY.

Arthur says THAT'S GREAT!
BECAUSE IF YOU WIN ROUND TWO,
ALL THIS CAN BE YOURS!
[applause]

Brain says A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF
JUICY CLEMENTINES!
AS SWEET AS MANDARINS AND
TANGERINES, BUT COMPLETELY
SEEDLESS!
CLEMENTINES: THE PERFECT SNACK!
[gasp]

Buster says THEY'RE MY FAVOURITE
CITRUS FRUIT!
LET'S PLAY!

Arthur says OKAY.
NAME FOUR THINGS ABOUT
Mr. RATBURN THAT HAVE NOTHING
TO DO WITH SCHOOL.

Buster says UM...
UHH...
HE LIKES PUPPETS.
[applause]
UH, HE LIKES TO GIVE HIS
PUPPETS A LOT OF HOMEWORK?
[buzzer rings]

Arthur says OH, I'M SORRY.
THAT'S INCORRECT.

Buster says I GUESS I DON'T
REALLY KNOW HIM THAT WELL.
WHAT WERE SOME OF THE RIGHT
ANSWERS?

Arthur says UM...

(music plays)

Buster says HEY, THAT'S NOT
FAIR!
YOU DON'T KNOW EITHER!

Arthur says THAT'S ALL THE TIME
WE HAVE!
ENJOY THE SHOW!

Buster says I WANT MY FRUIT!

The name of the episode reads "Lend Me your Ear. Written by Raye Lankford and Peter K. Hirsch."

At the mall, Arthur says OH, HEY, THERE'S
Mr. RATBURN.
I'M JUST GOING TO GO SAY HI.
HI, Mr. RATBURN!
Mr. RATBURN, HELLO?

At the ice-cream shop, Arthur says IT WAS LIKE I WASN'T EVEN
THERE.
I MUST HAVE CALLED HIS NAME
THREE TIMES.

Brain says I HAD A SIMILAR
EXPERIENCE JUST THE OTHER DAY.
I SAW HIM IN THE SUGAR BOWL.

(music plays)
HE WAS READING A BRIEF HISTORY
OF COPPER SMELTING, WHICH I HAD
JUST FINISHED.
I WANTED TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT
IT.

Brain approaches his table and says OOH, HAVE YOU GOT TO THE PART
ABOUT INCAN METHODS OF COOLING
SLAG?

(music plays)

Mister Ratburn keeps drinking his coffee.

Brain says AT THE TIME, I JUST THOUGHT HE
WAS TOO ENGROSSED TO NOTICE ME.
I MEAN, IT
IS
A VERY EXCITING
BOOK.

Buster says I KNOW WHAT'S WRONG
WITH HIM!
HE'S -

Arthur says DON'T SAY IT.

Buster says DON'T SAY WHAT?

Arthur says HE'S AN ALIEN, OR A
NAIL-EATING VAMPIRE, OR A
SECRET SUPERHERO.

Buster says I WASN'T GOING TO
SAY ANY OF THOSE THINGS!
BOY, YOU REALLY THINK I'LL
BELIEVE ANYTHING, DON'T YOU?

Arthur says OKAY, I'M SORRY.
WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO SAY?

Buster says HE'S A SECRET AGENT
POSING AS A NAIL-EATING,
VAMPIRE, SUPERHERO TEACHER.
IT'S THE PERFECT COVER!

Brain says MAYBE HE JUST DOESN'T
FEEL LIKE BEING AROUND KIDS.
I MEAN, IT IS SUMMER, AND HE
HAD TO SPEND THE WHOLE YEAR
WITH US.

Mr. Ratburn says HELLO, BOYS!
[boys gasping]

(music plays)

Buster says HI, Mr. RATBURN!
WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT
YOU......KULELES!

Mr. Ratburn says BEAUTIFUL
INSTRUMENTS.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE NAME
MEANS "DANCING FLEA" IN
HAWAIIAN?
THREE GRAPEFRUIT SORBETS TO
GO, PLEASE.

Brain says CONE OR CUP?

Mr. Ratburn says YES.

Brain says UM...
O...KAY.

Arthur says YOU, UM, SURE LIKE
THOSE SORBETS.

Mr. Ratburn says HMM?
OH, YES.
THEY'RE SO SOOTHING.
ALL THE LOST TEACHERS LIKE
THEM.

(music plays)
KEEP THE CHANGE.
HAVE A NICE DAY!

(music plays)

Buster says YOU TOO!

Brain says BYE!

Arthur says SEE YOU!

(music plays)

Brain says THAT WAS REALLY
STRANGE!
"ALL THE LOST TEACHERS LIKE
THEM"?

Buster says I'D LIKE TO SWITCH
TO AN ALIEN MIND-CONTROL
THEORY.

Arthur says BUSTER, THIS IS
SERIOUS.
THERE COULD BE SOMETHING WRONG
WITH HIM.
WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING.

Brain closes the shop and says ARTHUR'S RIGHT.
NORMALLY, I WOULD NEVER SUGGEST
A HAREBRAIN SCHEME LIKE THIS,
BUT, I THINK WE SHOULD FOLLOW
HIM.

(music plays)

Mister Ratburn gets inside his house.

Buster says OKAY, HE WENT
INSIDE.
NOW WHAT?

Arthur says MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST
RING THE DOORBELL AND ASK HIM
IF HE FEELS ALL RIGHT.

Brain says WE CAN'T DO THAT.

Arthur says WHY?

Brain says YOU KNOW Mr. RATBURN.
HE'D JUST SAY HE WAS FINE.
HE MIGHT EVEN BE ANNOYED THAT
WE FOLLOWED HIM.

Arthur says THEN WHAT'S THE
PLAN?

Mr. Ratburn says YEAAAAAHHHH!!!

Buster says HOW ABOUT WE RUN?
THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD PLAN!
[loud electric guitar chord]

(music plays)

They try to look through a window with curtains.

Brain whispers I CAN'T
SEE ANYTHING.
[footsteps]

Mr. Ratburn says WHERE'S HOPE?

Trevor says HOPE'S GONE, MAN.

(music plays)

Brain says BUSTER, GET ON MY
SHOULDERS.

Buster looks through a higher window.

(music plays)

Buster says WHOA...

He falls and knocks down the garbage bin.

[loud guitar chord]

Brain says AHHH!
[booming crash]

Mr. Ratburn says WHAT WAS THAT?
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

(music plays)

In Brain’s bedroom, Brain says OKAY, LET'S REVIEW
WHAT WE KNOW.
Mr. RATBURN HAS TALKED ABOUT
ALL THE LOST TEACHERS AND SAID
THAT "HOPE IS GONE."

Arthur says ALTHOUGH, WHEN HE
SAID THAT, HIS VOICE SOUNDED
KIND OF DIFFERENT.

Buster says I BET IT WAS BECAUSE
HE WAS CRYING.

Arthur says WHAT?!
THAT'S CRAZY.
WHY WOULD Mr. RATBURN BE
CRYING?

Buster says THINK ABOUT IT.
HE SPENDS THE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR
TEACHING...

(music plays)
THEN SUMMER COMES AND HE HAS NO
ONE TO GIVE TESTS OR ASSIGN
HOMEWORK TO!

Mr. Ratburn talks to his goldfish and says ALL RIGHT,
VLADIMIR AND ESTRAGON, PUT AWAY
YOUR BOOKS.
TIME FOR A POP QUIZ.
WHAT'S THE SQUARE ROOT OF 121?
[bubbles]
WRONG!
IT IS NOT ZERO; THE CORRECT
ANSWER IS 11.
YOU GET AN F!

(music plays)
[yawning]
FAILING FISH JUST ISN'T THE
SAME!
[sobbing]

Buster says WITHOUT STUDENTS TO
TEACH, HIS LIFE IS MEANINGLESS.

Brain says I NEVER THOUGHT I'D
SAY THIS, BUT BUSTER MIGHT BE
RIGHT.

Arthur says WHAT ABOUT THAT
STRANGE, LOUD SOUND WE HEARD?
WHAT WAS THAT?

Buster says OH, WELL, THAT'S
WHERE THE ALIEN MIND-CONTROL
COMES IN!
YOU SEE -

Brain says QUIT WHILE YOU'RE
AHEAD.

Arthur says IF BUSTER IS RIGHT,
THEN I THINK I KNOW HOW WE CAN
HELP HIM TOMORROW.

(music plays)

They go to Mister Ratburn’s house.

[doorbell rings]

Arthur says WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO HAVE Mr. RATBURN TEACH YOU?

Brain says I'LL ASK HIM TO GIVE
ME SOME WORD PROBLEMS.
THOSE ALWAYS PUT HIM IN A GOOD
MOOD.
YOU?

Arthur says CHINESE HISTORY.
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT, SO IF
HE QUIZZES ME, I WON'T DO VERY
WELL.

Buster says RING AGAIN.
IT MUST BE HARD FOR Mr. RATBURN
TO HEAR OVER ALL HIS SOBBING.

Mr. Ratburn appears behind them and says AHEM!
AND WHY EXACTLY AM I SOBBING?

(music plays)

Inside, Mister Ratburn serves them tea and says CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, I
DO HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE OF
SCHOOL.
HOWEVER, YOUR ASSUMPTION THAT
I HAVE A PROBLEM IS CORRECT.
I JUST CAME FROM Dr. CONWAY.

Buster says IS HE YOUR NEMESIS?

Mr. Ratburn says ER, NO, HE'S MY
AUDIOLOGIST: A DOCTOR WHO
SPECIALIZES IN HEARING.
MY HEARING IS IMPAIRED.

Arthur says "IMPAIRED"?
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

Mr. Ratburn says IT MEANS THAT
I'M NOT HEARING AS WELL AS I
ONCE DID.
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE WE
ARE INSIDE AN EAR.

(music plays)
YOU MIGHT THINK THAT ALL
HEARING TAKES PLACE RIGHT HERE,
BUT THIS IS JUST THE OUTER EAR.
LET'S FOLLOW A SOUND AND SEE
WHAT HAPPENS.

He hits a tuning fork.

[dinging]
[ding reverberating]

Mr. Ratburn says THE SOUND GOES
DOWN INTO THE EAR CANAL.

Arthur says WHAT'S THIS SQUISHY
STUFF?

Brain says THAT MUST BE EAR WAX.

Buster says OOH, LET'S MAKE A
CANDLE!

Mr. Ratburn says NO FIRES IN THE
EAR, PLEASE.
IT REALLY ISN'T WAX.
IT'S ACTUALLY CERUMEN, A
SUBSTANCE THE EAR MAKES TO HELP
CLEAN AND PROTECT IT.

Buster says OH!
CAN I KEEP IT?

Mr. Ratburn says NO, YOU HAVE
PLENTY IN YOUR OWN EARS.
[dinging]
COME ALONG!

(music plays)
[ding reverberating]

Mr. Ratburn says SOUND HITS THE
EARDRUM AND CAUSES IT TO
VIBRATE.

(music plays)

The boys touch the eardrum and say UHH-UHH-UHH-UHH...

Buster says M-M-M-MY...
T-T-TEETH...
A-A-ARE...
F-F-F-FEELING...
L-L-LOOSE...

Arthur says W-W-W-WHAT'S...
H-H-HAPENING... ON-N-N...
T-THE... O-T-T-THER...
S-S-SIDE?
[loud humming]

Mr. Ratburn says WHEN THE EAR
DRUM VIBRATES, IT MOVES THESE
THREE TINY BONES: THE HAMMER,
THE ANVIL, AND THE STIRRUP.
THEY HELP CARRY THE SOUND INTO
THE INNER EAR, WHICH WE'LL LOOK
AT NOW.
THE SOUND VIBRATIONS MAKE THOSE
HAIRS MOVE, AND THAT
INFORMATION IS TAKEN TO THE
BRAIN, WHERE IT IS TRANSLATED
AS AN IDENTIFIABLE SOUND.

Brain says WHY IS THAT PATCH
BARE OVER THERE?

Mr. Ratburn says BECAUSE THAT'S
WHERE I'VE LOST SOME OF MY
HEARING.
WE BETTER GET BACK - MY TEA'S
GETTING COLD.

(music plays)
AH!
YOU KNOW, IT REALLY DID FEEL
GOOD TO DO A LITTLE TEACHING.
HOW 'BOUT A QUICK QUIZ ABOUT
THE EAR?

Arthur says NO, THANKS!

Buster says THAT'S OKAY!

Brain says I'M GOOD.

Mr. Ratburn says ANYWAY, NOW I
HAVE THESE, WHICH WILL HELP A
GREAT DEAL: HEARING AIDS.

Arthur says THERE'S ONE THING I
STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND.
HOW DID YOU LOSE YOUR HEARING
IN THE FIRST PLACE?

[doorbell rings]

Mr. Ratburn says YOU'RE ABOUT TO
FIND OUT.

(music plays)
[electric guitar tuning]
[boys gasp]
[guitar strumming]

They go in a room where a band tunes instruments.

Mr. Ratburn says HEARING LOSS CAN OCCUR FOR A
VARIETY OF REASONS AT ANY AGE.
BUT FOR YEARS, WE NEVER USED
EARPLUGS.

Trevor says GOTTA PROTECT THE
EARS, AMIGOS.

(music plays)

Mr. Ratburn says BUT WE'VE
LEARNED OUR LESSON.

(music plays)
MAY I PRESENT TREVOR BROWN
FROM MIGHTY MOUNTAIN ON DRUMS.
[loud drumming]

Trevor is a dog who wears a long sleeved white T-shirt under a short sleeved blue shirt and a burgundy beanie.

Mr. Ratburn says HOPE LOCKE FROM GLENBROOK
ACADEMY ON BASS.

Hope says 'SUP.

Hope is a cat with purple hair in a bob cut. She wears glasses, a printed T-shirt, jeans and a gray jacket.

Mr. Ratburn says I AM...
NIGEL "THE RAT" RATBURN FROM
LAKEWOOD ELEMENTARY, AND
WE ARE -
[hits a chord]
THE LOST TEACHERS.
ONE...
TWO...
ONE, TWO...
[loud rock music playing]

They sing a song that says SEE THEM COMING
IN THE MORNING
LOOKING HAPPY
THERE'S NO WARNING
TAKE YOUR SEATS NOW
PAY ATTENTION
NO, YOU CAN'T HAVE
AN EXTENSION
JUST A LITTLE BUSINESS
BEFORE WE START OUR DAY
TAKE OUT YOUR PENCIL
PUT YOUR BOOKS...
AWAY
POP QUIZ!
POP QUIZ!
POP QUIZ!
POP QUIZ!
NO BEGGING AND NO
PLEADING
'CAUSE YOU DIDN'T DO
THE READING
POP QUIZ!
YEEEAAHHHHHH!
[guitar solo]

Buster says NOW DO YOU BELIEVE
HE'S AN ALIEN?
[rock music playing]
YEEEAAHHHHHH!
POP QUIZ!

Now a real life clip shows a group of kids visiting an ear doctor.

Doctor Cohen says AND NOW, A WORD
FROM AN EAR DOCTOR.

(music plays)

Doctor Cohen has short wavy brown hair and wears a blue shirt and tie and a white coat.

A boy says TODAY, WE'RE AT MASS EYE
AND EAR TO SEE Dr. COHEN.

Doctor Cohen says DO YOU KNOW WHAT
YOUR EAR DRUM LOOKS LIKE?

Ethan says NO IDEA.

Ethan is around 8, with short wavy brown hair and wears a striped T-shirt.

A boy in a checker shirt says WHY IS IT CALLED AN EAR DRUM?

Doctor Cohen says IT IS A THIN
LAYER THAT IS HELD VERY TIGHTLY
INSIDE YOUR EAR, JUST LIKE THE
TOP OF A DRUM.
[laughing]
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK NOW
WITH A TINY CAMERA CALLED AN
ENDOSCOPE.
SO, THERE'S THE EAR DRUM, AND
IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP OF THE
EAR DRUM, YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE
WHITE LINE, AND THAT IS THE
HAMMER.
AND JUST TO THE RIGHT OF THE
HAMMER, THERE'S A LITTLE
TAN-COLOURED DOT, WHICH IS THE
ANVIL.
AND THE ANVIL IS CONNECTED TO
THE STIRRUP.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHY Mr. RATBURN
HAD PROBLEMS HEARING?

The boy in the checker shirt says THE MUSIC WAS REALLY LOUD
AND IT WAS STARTING TO DAMAGE
ALL HIS EAR HAIRS.

Doctor Cohen says AND IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT WE PROTECT OUR
HAIR CELLS SO THAT WE DON'T
HAVE PROBLEMS WITH HEARING
LATER ON.

The boy in the checker shirt CAN THE HAIRS IN YOUR
COCHLEA GROW BACK ONCE THEY'RE
DAMAGED?

Doctor Cohen says ONCE THOSE HAIR
CELLS ARE DAMAGED, THEY CAN'T
GROW BACK.
MOST PHONES THAT YOU CAN LISTEN
TO MUSIC ON CAN GET LOUD ENOUGH
TO DAMAGE YOUR HEARING.

Ethan says WHAT DO YOU THINK
WOULD BE THE RIGHT VOLUME TO
SET ON A PHONE?

Doctor Cohen says ON MOST PHONES,
IF YOU KEEP THE VOLUME ABOUT
THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY
ACROSS, THEN YOU'LL BE SAFE.

Ethan says VOLUME LIMIT.

Doctor Cohen says WE'RE GOING TO GO
RIGHT THIS WAY TO MEET
Dr. BHAKTA.
SHE'S AN AUDIOLOGIST WHO'S
GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW WE TEST
HEARING.

Doctor Bhakta says HI, GUYS!

Ethan says SHE WOULD PLAY BEEPS.

Doctor Bhakta has long wavy brown hair and she wears glasses and a white coat.

Doctor Bhakta says HERE'S A BEEP.
[long beep]

Ethan says AND IF WE HEARD IT,
WE'D RAISE OUR HAND.
[long beep]
THE PURPOSE OF THE HEARING TEST
IS TO FIND OUT IF YOUR
HEARING'S GOOD OR BAD.

Doctor Bhakta shows them a graph and says THIS IS ETHAN'S
HEARING.
YOU SEE THOSE RED CIRCLES?
THAT'S HIS RIGHT EAR.
YOU SEE THOSE BLUE Xs?
THAT'S HIS LEFT EAR.
IF THERE WERE ANYTHING DOWN
THERE, THAT WOULD MEAN HEARING
LOSS.
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS ETHAN HAS
GOOD HEARING TODAY.

Ethan says YAY!

The boy in the checker shirt NICE JOB.
I WANT TO PROTECT MY HEARING SO
I CAN LISTEN TO MUSIC, OTHER
PEOPLE TALKING, AND ANYTHING
WITH SOUND.

Kids say AND NOW, BACK
TO ARTHUR!

(music plays)

Another episode plays.

At a garage sale, Arthur says EXCUSE ME, WHAT'S
THIS?

A man says IT'S FOR MAKING DUCK-SHAPED
ICE CUBES.

Arthur says OH, THANKS.
WHO ON EARTH WOULD BUY THIS?

Buster gasps and says DUCK-SHAPED
ICE CUBES?!
I HAVE TO HAVE IT!
NAME YOUR PRICE!

Arthur says ISN'T IT STRANGE HOW
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO HAVE
SOMETHING, THEN A WEEK LATER
YOU'VE FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT IT?
LIKE THOSE MOON BOOTS I REALLY
WANTED.
OR THAT WOOGLE I HAD TO HAVE.
[Pal panting]

(music plays)
OR VIRTUAL GOOSE, VERSION 5.0.
[virtual goose honking]
OR THOSE SCENTED ERASERS, AND
THE X-RAY GLASSES, AND THAT
MIND-READING HELMET, AND THE
DARK BUNNY BELT BUCKLE, AND
THAT SOLAR-POWERED POPCORN
MAKER!
[poof]
WOW, I SURE HAVE BOUGHT A LOT
OF USELESS STUFF.
FROM NOW ON, I'M ONLY BUYING
THINGS I REALLY NEED, LIKE...
[gasp]
SHOE UMBRELLAS?!
THAT'S AMAZING!
HOW MUCH?

(music plays)
[honks]

The name of the new episode reads "The Butler Did It."

[door opening]

(music plays)

At the mall, Muffy says NOW REMEMBER, WE'RE
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL.
NO TIES, CUFFLINKS, OR GIFT
CERTIFICATES.

Bailey says WHAT ABOUT
NEEDLEPOINT, Miss MUFFY?
YOU COULD MAKE YOUR FATHER A
CROSSWIRE MOTORS PILLOW?

Muffy says MAKE HIM SOMETHING?
UGH!
I ALWAYS DO THAT FOR FATHER'S
DAY.
REMEMBER?
I MADE HIM THAT CARD!

A clip shows Baily making the card.

(music plays)

Muffy says I THINK IT NEEDS ONE MORE
PEACOCK.

(music plays)
[groans]

Muddy says AND THAT SCARF!

A clip shows Baily knitting a long purple scarf/

Muffy says UGH, NOW THAT I SEE IT, I THINK
YELLOW IS MORE HIS COLOUR.
AND THAT CAKE.

Bailey decorates a huge cake.

Muffy has a bite and says OOPSIE!
[groaning]

She says NO, THIS YEAR I WANT HIS GIFT
TO BE A COMPLETE SURPRISE.
SOMETHING WILD!
SOMETHING EXTRAVAGANT!
SOMETHING...
[gasp]
THAT'S IT!
"KEATS THE CARBOT; THE FIRST
VOICE-CONTROLLED,
FULLY-AUTOMATED ROBOT BUTLER."
IT'S PERFECT!

(music plays)

At home, Mr. Crosswire says WHAT A
WONDERFUL FATHER'S DAY!
SUCH THOUGHTFUL PRESENTS!

Muffy says WAIT!
THERE'S ONE MORE!
BAILEY!

(music plays)

Mr. Crosswire says WHAT ON
EARTH...?

Muffy says JUST A SMALL TOKEN
OF OUR LOVE FOR YOU.

Mr. Crosswire says WHAT IS IT?

Muffy says IT'S YOUR NEW CARBOT!
HIS NAME IS KEATS AND HE'S
FULLY CHARGED.
YOU JUST HAVE TO PUT YOUR HAND
ON HIS TOP; THAT'S HOW HE BONDS
WITH YOU.

Mr. Crosswire says HEH HEH,
CARBOT.
WHAT ON EARTH WILL THEY THINK
OF NEXT?

Keats says IMPRINTING EDWARD
EDSEL CROSSWIRE.
UNION IS COMPLETE.
HELLO, SIR.
HOW MAY I SERVE YOU?

Mr. Crosswire says HO-HO!
WELL, DENT MY FENDERS, THE
LITTLE FELLER TALKS!

Muffy says GIVE HIM A COMMAND.

Mr. Crosswire says UM...
ROLL OVER.

Muffy says DADDY, HE'S A BUTLER,
NOT A DOG!
HAVE HIM BRING YOU SOMETHING.
KEATS, PLEASE GET MY FATHER
SOME ORANGE JUICE.
[mechanical whirring]

(music plays)
[mechanical whirring]

Keats bring two oranges.

Mr. Crosswire says WELL, HE WAS
CLOSE.

(music plays)
[grinding]

Keats makes juice with the oranges and says HERE YOU ARE, SIR.
FRESHLY SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE.

Mr. Crosswire says THANKS!

Keats says WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO
CLEAN UP NOW, SIR?

Mr. Crosswire says SURE!

Bailey says OH, THAT'S ALL
RIGHT, Mr. CROSSWIRE.
I'M ALMOST FINISHED.

Keats starts vacuuming the place.

Mr. Crosswire says HA HA HOO,
HE'S AMAZING!
I LOVE HIM, MUFFIN!
GOT SOME COMPETITION THERE, EH,
OLE BOY?
COME ON, KEATS!
LET'S SEE HOW GOOD YOU ARE AT
WAXING CARS!

(music plays)
[Ed sighs]

In his closet, he looks for a tie and says WHERE IS THAT ONE WITH THE
LITTLE PANDAS ON IT?
BAILEY?

(music plays)

Keats says MIGHT I BE OF
SERVICE?

Bailey says SORRY,
Mr. CROSSWIRE, I HAD TROUBLE
HEARING YOU.
I WAS SCRUBBING THE INSIDES OF
THE TRASH CANS.

Mr. Crosswire says NO WORRIES.
I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A TIE.
KEATS FOUND IT.

(music plays)
[Keats honks]

Muffy says DADDY SURE LIKES HIS
NEW GIFT.

Bailey says INDEED, Miss MUFFY.
IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
I FIND KEATS TO BE A BOON AS
WELL.

Muffy says REALLY?

Bailey says OH, YES.
THIS MORNING ALONE, HE'S TAKEN
CARE OF ALL THE CHORES I
NORMALLY DO.
I SAY, I COULD...
TAKE THE DAY OFF!
THAT IS, UNLESS YOU REQUIRE ME.

Muffy says NO, NO, PLEASE!
YOU'VE EARNED IT!

Bailey says WHATEVER SHALL I DO?
THERE'S THAT ANTIQUE DOORKNOB
EXHIBIT AT THE MUSEUM.
OF COURSE, MY COLLARS DO NEED
STARCHING; THAT WOULD BE
RELAXING.

At the Sugar Bowl, Muffy says I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM
SO UPSET!
HE WENT INTO HIS ROOM AND I
DIDN'T SEE HIM UNTIL DINNER!

Francine says MAYBE HE WAS
RELAXING.

Muffy says FRANCINE, BAILEY'S
IDEA OF RELAXING IS SCRUBBING
THE GROUT BETWEEN THE KITCHEN
TILES.
NO, HE'S DEFINITELY DEPRESSED.

Francine says SO, TELL YOUR
FATHER TO GET RID OF THE
CARBOT.

Muffy says I CAN'T!
HE LOVES IT!
PLUS, BAILEY WOULD KNOW I SAID
SOMETHING AND WOULD FEEL
EMBARRASSED.
[groan]
THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!

Francine says KEATS CAN'T DO
EVERYTHING.
SHOW YOUR DAD HOW INDISPENSABLE
BAILEY IS.

Muffy says HMM.

(music plays)

At home, Muffy stares at the floor to ceiling library and says I NEED A NEW BOOK.
HOW ABOUT...

(music plays)
"THE ABCs OF AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSIONS AND TRANSAXLES."

Mr. Crosswire says OOH, THAT
ONE'S A REAL PAGE TURNER.

Muffy says OH, I BETTER GET
BAILEY.
IT'S MUCH TOO HIGH FOR KEATS.
[Keats honking]

Keats stretches and gets the book for Muffy.

[mechanical buzzing]

(music plays)

Keats says EXCELLENT CHOICE,
MADAM.

Muffy turns around and says HUH!

She goes to her dad’s room and hides his sleepers.

(music plays)

Mr. Crosswire says I JUST CAN'T
FIND MY SLIPPERS ANYWHERE!
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM, HAVE
YOU, MUFFLER?

Muffy says NO, BUT I'M SURE
BAILEY WILL KNOW WHERE TO LOOK!
[Keats honking]

Keats says PERHAPS I CAN BE OF
ASSISTANCE.
[sniffing]

(music plays)
[clattering, thumping]

(music plays)

Keats comes back with the slippers.

Mr. Crosswire says WHO'S A GOOD
BOY?
YOU'RE A GOOD BOY!

(music plays)

At night, Muffy talks on the phone with Francine.

Muffy says IT'S NO USE!
KEATS CAN DO EVERYTHING!
HE EVEN MADE DINNER LAST NIGHT.

Francine says HOW WAS IT?

Muffy says DELICIOUS!
BRAISED DUCKLING IN A FIG
REDUCTION.
DADDY HAD THREE HELPINGS.
BAILEY HAS BEEN SPENDING HOURS
IN HIS ROOM.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT HE'S
DOING.

Baily sculpts and sings FIGARO QUA
FIGARO LA
FIGARO SU
FIGARO GIU

Muffy says POOR BAILEY!
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF HE
DECIDED TO QUIT.

Francine says JUST UNPLUG KEATS!

Muffy says I CAN'T!
HE RUNS ON A BATTERY THAT
RECHARGES WHEN HE RESTS.
[gasp]
BUT THERE MIGHT BE A WAY TO
DISABLE HIM.
AND I KNOW JUST THE PERSON TO
DO IT.

In the morning, Brain says IT'S NOT GOING TO BE
EASY, BUT IF I CAN EMBED A
ROOTKIT INTO KEATS'S SYSTEM, IT
MIGHT GIVE ME REMOTE ACCESS.

Muffy says UM...
GREAT!
I'LL BE RIGHT HERE IF YOU
NEED HELP.

Brain says FIRST, I HAVE TO
CRACK THE PASSWORD.
HMM, "KEATS" - COULD BE A
POEM...
NIGHTINGALE?
I'M IN!
OOH, BRAIN, YOU ARE GOOD!

(music plays)

Keats says INTRUDER ALERT!
INTRUDER ALERT!

Brain says OKAY, NOW I JUST NEED
TO MOUNT A DDOS TO OVERLOAD THE
SERVER.

Muffy says HUH!
THIS IS TAKING FOREVER!

(music plays)
[keys clicking]

(music plays)
[antenna whirring]

Keats says HMM.

(music plays)

Brain says ALMOST THERE...

Keats says EXCUSE ME, MADAM,
MAY I COME IN?
THERE APPEARS TO BE A HACKER
IN YOUR ROOM.

Muffy says UM, NOPE!
THERE'S NO ONE IN HERE BUT ME!
HURRY UP!

Keats says I MUST INSIST, MADAM.
IF I AM DISABLED, I WILL NO
LONGER BE ABLE TO SERVE YOUR
FATHER.

Keats start unscrewing the bolts on Muffy’s door lock.

Muffy says BRAIN, DO SOMETHING!

Brain says JUST TWO MORE FILES
TO GO.
DONE!
[voice slowing down]
[incoherent babbling]
[mechanical whirring slows]
[birds chirping]

The next morning, Bailey says GOOD MORNING,
Miss MUFFY.

Muffy says BAILEY!

Bailey says IT'S A VERY NICE
DAY.

Muffy says I'LL SAY!
IT'S THE BEST DAY EVER!

She looks out the window and sees his father playing with Keats in the garden.

She gasps and says HE'S STILL HERE?!

Bailey says THAT'S KEATS 2.0.
IT SEEMS THE ORIGINAL KEATS
HAD A...
MALFUNCTION.
SO, THE COMPANY DELIVERED A
NEWER MODEL THIS MORNING.
THIS ONE FLIES.
[Keats honking]

(music plays)
DO YOU NEED ANYTHING ELSE,
Miss MUFFY?
I MIGHT BE OUT TODAY.

Muffy says NO.
UH, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

Bailey says I HAVE A PERSONAL
ERRAND I MUST ATTEND TO.

(music plays)

[phone chiming]

Francine says HELLO?

Muffy says BRAIN CRASHED KEATS,
BUT THEN DADDY UPGRADED, AND
NOW BAILEY'S RUNNING A
"PERSONAL ERRAND"!
WHAT IF HE'S LEAVING?!

Francine says TELL BAILEY HOW
YOU FEEL.
YOUR FATHER MIGHT LIKE THIS
KEATS, BUT BAILEY'S
IRREPLACEABLE TO YOU.

Muffy says RIGHT, THANKS!

(music plays)

She enters Bailey’s room and sees a suitcase.

She says BAILEY?
[gasps]
HE
IS
LEAVING!
BAILEY!

Keats says HELLO, MADAM.
IS THERE A PROBLEM?

Muffy says YOU!
BECAUSE OF YOU, MY BEST FRIEND
IN THE WORLD IS LEAVING!

Keats says I'M SORRY TO HEAR
THAT.
WOULD YOU LIKE A FRUIT
SMOOTHIE?

Muffy says AAAHHHH!

Keats says FOOT MASSAGE?
CUCUMBER SANDWICH?
BEDTIME STORY?

(music plays)
[Muffy panting]

Muffy goes in the basement and says THERE MUST BE
SOMETHING DOWN HERE I CAN USE
TO STOP THAT TIN CAN.

(music plays)

She grabs a tool and tries to get out.

Keats says THE DOOR IS LOCKED,
MADAM.

Muffy says YES, I CAN TELL THAT,
KEATS.
WOULD YOU OPEN IT, PLEASE?

Mr. Crosswire says KEATS!
COULD I HAVE A SNACK??

Muffy says KEATS?
KEATS, WHERE DID YOU GO?
HELLO?
SOMEONE?
HELP!
HELP!!
HELP, I'M TRAPPED!
[gasps]

Bailey says Miss MUFFY!

(music plays)

Muffy says OH, BAILEY!
THANK GOODNESS!

Mr. Crosswire says WHAT'S ALL
THE COMMOTION?

Muffy says I WAS LOCKED IN THE
BASEMENT AND THAT SILLY CARBOT
WOULDN'T LET ME OUT!

Mr. Crosswire says KEATS, IS
THIS TRUE?

Keats says YOU REQUIRED A
SNACK, SIR.
I AM PROGRAMMED TO PUT YOUR
NEEDS ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE'S.

(music plays)

A truck picks up Keats.

Muffy says NOW THAT KEATS IS
GONE, WILL YOU UNPACK YOUR
BAGS AND STAY?

Bailey says OH, I WASN'T GOING
ANYWHERE, Miss MUFFY.

He opens the suitcase and says I MADE A SCULPTURE AND A
GALLERY HAS AGREED TO EXHIBIT
IT.
IT'S CALLED "THE LUXURY OF
SOLITUDE."

Mr. Crosswire says BAILEY WOULD
NEVER LEAVE US!
HE'S FAMILY.

Bailey says INDEED,
Mr. CROSSWIRE.

Mr. Crosswire says NOW, HOW
ABOUT SOME LUNCH?
BAILEY, COULD YOU WHIP UP SOME
POACHED SALMON?

Muffy says OHHH, YES!
WITH THE DILL SAUCE?
AND THOSE TEENY-TINY POTATOES
YOU DO SO WELL!

(music plays)

The end credits roll as the theme song plays.
