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 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, DW!
She says HEY!
Arthur falls backwards and says WHOA! OOF!
The episode begins with Francine dressed up in a suit as James Bond. She throws an apple to the screen and splashes all red.
(suspenseful music playing)
At a desk, Muffy hands Francine an envelope that reads "Top Secret."
Muffy says 008, THERE'S A SPY IN OUR MIDST!
I WANT YOU TO FIND HIM
AND BRING HIM TO JUSTICE.
Francine says YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, M!
Muffy says THERE'S ONE CATCH.
NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN
WHAT THE SPY LOOKS LIKE!
(marble rattling)
Arthur plays roulette in a casino.
Buster says 8 WINS AGAIN.
Francine flips a casino chip, Buster grabs it and saves it in his inner pocket.
A person wearing a mask and a hat runs away. Francine gasps and chases the person in her red car.
(motor revving)
(car starting)
The person drives into a secret cave. A stone door closes the cave.
(brakes screeching)
A drill pops up of Francine’s car and drills a hole in the cave’s door.
(drilling)
The masked person rushes to push a button but Francine stops the villain.
Francine says NOT SO FAST!
IF YOU'RE GONNA TRY TO BLOW UP
THE WORLD,
AT LEAST HAVE THE COURAGE
TO SHOW YOUR FACE!
WHAT?
IT CAN'T BE!
HOW COULD THE VILLAIN BE...
Francine removes the villain’s mask. It’s Francine.
Francine says ME?
A lilac striped slate appears. It reads "Francine and the Soccer Spy."
A caption under it reads "written by Vanessa Wiegel-Storyboard by Bernie Denk and Allan Jeffery."
On a sunny day, the kids play football.
Binky tires to stop a penalty and says UGH!
(whistle blowing)
Muffy says I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DIDN'T
EVEN SCORE ONCE.
Arthur says IT WAS LIKE THEY ALWAYS KNEW
JUST WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO.
Buster says MAYBE MIGHTY MOUNTAIN
IS USING A MIND-READER.
Arthur says YEAH, OR THEY HAVE SPIES
EVERYWHERE.
They laugh.
Francine says I'LL TELL YOU WHY WE LOST.
WE NEED TO PRACTICE MORE!
Ladonna says THERE'S ALWAYS THE NEXT GAME.
COME ON!
LAST ONE BACK TO THE SUGAR BOWL
IS A MOLDY TURNIP!
Now, Ladonna’s dad speaks on the phone seating in his kitchen.
Ladonna’s dad says GREAT! SEE YOU FOR DINNER
TOMORROW!
Ladonna says WHO'S COMING TO DINNER?
Ladonna’s dad says THE TORRES FAMILY.
THEY JUST MOVED HERE.
MRS. TORRES IS IN THE NAVY.
HER SON DANNY IS YOUR AGE.
Ladonna says COOL!
WILL HE BE GOING
TO MY SCHOOL?
Ladonna’s dad says NOPE, MIGHTY MOUNTAIN.
I BET HE COULD USE A FRIEND
IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD, THOUGH.
Ladonna says YEAH, I KNOW THAT
"NEW PLACE" FEELING.
LEAVE IT TO ME, I'LL MAKE HIM
FEEL RIGHT AT HOME.
Next, the kids gather in the field. Francine stands by a board.
Francine says WE'VE GOT ANOTHER GAME AGAINST
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN ON FRIDAY,
AND WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
The kids look down and say WIN.
Francine says DID I HEAR A BUNCH OF MICE
SQUEAKING?
LET'S HEAR IT AGAIN!
Loudly, they raise their arms and say WIN!
Francine says THAT'S RIGHT, AND I'VE GOT
JUST THE PLAY TO DO IT.
BUT FIRST, YOU MUST SWEAR
YOURSELVES TO SECRECY.
NO BLABBING TO ANYONE
NOT ON THIS TEAM.
NOT YOUR MOM,
NOT YOUR BUTLER,
NOT EVEN YOUR TEDDY BEAR.
Arthur says UH, I DON'T HAVE
A TEDDY BEAR.
Francine shows them a plan for the game on the board.
Brain says THAT LOOKS EXCEEDINGLY
COMPLICATED.
Francine says AND THAT'S WHY IT'LL WORK.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S START FROM THE TOP!
The kids lie on the grass exhausted.
Francine says NO, NO!
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FAKE LEFT,
TURN 66 DEGREES,
AND THEN PASS TO BRAIN.
LET'S TRY IT AGAIN.
Ladonna gasps and says OH, NO! I'M LATE!
GOT TO RUN!
GREAT PRACTICE TODAY!
Francine says HEY, WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING?
WE'RE NOT DONE!
Ladonna’s parents stand next to Danny and his mother.
Ladonna’s dad says BUD DID GREAT.
NO CAVITIES!
Ladonna says SORRY I'M LATE!
Ladonna’s dad says HEY, THIS IS DANNY.
WHY DON'T YOU TWO
GET ACQUAINTED?
The adults leave.
Ladonna says I'M LADONNA,
YOUR PERSONAL TOUR GUIDE
TO ALL THINGS ELWOOD CITY!
Danny wears a green sport outfit. They shake hands.
Danny says PLEASED TO MEET YOU.
Ladonna says IS THIS YOUR FIRST MOVE?
Danny nods and says YOU?
Ladonna says WE'VE MOVED THREE TIMES
SO FAR.
IT'S LIKE THEY SAY,
HOME IS WHERE THE ARMY
SENDS YOU.
Danny says OR THE NAVY.
Ladonna offer Danny a snack and they sit on the sofa.
Ladonna says MY FIRST DAY AT LAKEWOOD,
I WAS SO NERVOUS
I SKIPPED BREAKFAST.
BY LUNCH, MY TUMMY WAS GROWLING
LOUDER THAN A LION.
BUT I'VE MADE SOME REALLY
GREAT FRIENDS.
HEY, I KNOW!
I'LL CALL THEM NOW.
WE CAN HANG OUT
TOMORROW.
Danny says OH, UH, THANKS, BUT COULD WE DO
IT A LITTLE LATER?
I'M JUST KIND OF...
Ladonna says OVERWHELMED?
Danny nods.
Ladonna says NO PROBLEM.
Ladonna looks at a soccer ball on the floor.
Danny says DO YOU PLAY?
A LITTLE.
Francine says IF YOU PASS MORE,
WE'RE GONNA SCORE MORE!
Arthur says I GOT IT, MORE PASSING.
OKAY, SEE YOU LATER.
I HAVE TO TALK TO LADONNA.
WHAT COULD BE SO IMPORTANT THAT
SHE HAD TO LEAVE PRACTICE EARLY?
Francine spies on Ladonna. She sees him playing football with Danny on his front garden.
Francine says HUH?
Ladonna says HEY! YOU'RE REALLY GOOD.
Danny says THANKS, I WAS CENTRE FORWARD
ON MY TEAM BACK HOME.
WE WERE UNDEFEATED.
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN IS GOING
TO BE EVEN BETTER
WITH YOU ON THE TEAM!
A neighbor blows leaves using a blower next to Francine.
Francine says OH, WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?
Danny says UNFORTUNATELY,
I'M NOT ON THE TEAM.
Ladonna says WHY NOT?
Danny says THEY HAD TRYOUTS
A FEW WEEKS AGO.
I MISSED THEM.
Ladonna says YOU SHOULD TALK TO THE COACH!
I BET HE'D GIVE YOU
ANOTHER CHANCE.
Danny says I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE
A BIG FUSS.
Ladonna says BUT THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE MISSING!
Ladonna’s father knocks on a window and says DINNER!
Ladonna says ANYWAY, IF YOU NEED
ANYTHING AT ALL,
JUST ASK ME!
Later, Francine and Muffy talk by the lockers.
Francine says ARTHUR WAS RIGHT!
Muffy says RIGHT ABOUT WHAT?
Francine says SHH.
THERE IS A SPY ON OUR TEAM.
Francine points to Ladonna, who is putting books on his locker.
Muffy says OH, THAT'S RIDICULOUS!
Francine whispers YESTERDAY, I SAW LADONNA
PLAYING SOCCER WITH SOMEONE NEW,
AND I THINK HE'S FROM
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN.
Muffy says DO YOU KNOW THAT
FOR SURE?
Francine whispers WELL, NO, BUT SHE SAID SHE WOULD
GIVE HIM ANYTHING HE NEEDED.
WHAT IF SHE'S GIVING HIM
OUR SECRET PLAYS?
Muffy says YOU'RE ACTING PARANOID.
WHY ON EARTH WOULD LADONNA
DO THAT?
Francine says I DON'T KNOW.
Muffy says JUST DROP IT, OKAY?
Francine says OKAY,
BUT JUST AFTER ONE MORE
TEENY-TINY INVESTIGATION.
CAN I BORROW YOUR PHONE
AFTER SCHOOL?
Francine hides behind garbage cans looking through binoculars. She is spying on Ladonna.
She says MAYBE I AM OVERREACTING.
Danny says HEY, LADONNA!
Ladonna says DANNY!
WANT SOME LEMONADE?
Francine films them using Muffy’s cell phone.
(fly buzzing)
Francine says SHOO!
Danny says I CAN'T STAY.
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU
THE GOOD NEWS.
I TALKED TO THE COACH.
HE'S GONNA LET ME PLAY!
Ladonna says THAT'S AMAZING!
YOU'RE GONNA BE
THE STAR OF THE TEAM!
Danny says WELL, IT'S ALL THANKS TO YOU.
AND, UH, TO SHOW
MY APPRECIATION,
I GOT YOU SOMETHING.
Talking to the flies, Francine says AHH! GET AWAY!
Danny hands Ladonna a red sport T-shirt.
(camera clicking)
Ladonna gasps and takes pictures.
Ladonna says I BETTER NOT BE CAUGHT
WEARING THIS.
WE'RE ARCHRIVALS, YOU KNOW.
Danny says TRUE.
BUT IT'LL PROBABLY BE
A COLLECTOR'S ITEM SOMEDAY.
Francine says OH! UGH!
(cans clattering)
Francine runs away.
The kids sit at Brain’s shop. Francine places the close sign on the door.
Brain says THIS BETTER NOT TAKE LONG.
WE COULD LOSE CUSTOMERS!
Arthur says WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAVE
A SECRET MEETING, ANYWAY?
Francine says I HATE TO TELL YOU GUYS THIS,
BUT WE HAVE A SPY
ON OUR SOCCER TEAM.
Buster says NO!
Muffy says OH, NOT THIS AGAIN.
Arthur says WHO?
Francine shows Arthur a picture on the cell phone and says HER.
Arthur says YOU'RE THE SPY?
Francine says WHAT? NO!
GIVE ME THAT!
Buster says I KNEW IT!
IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
WE'D NEVER SUSPECT
OUR OWN CAPTAIN.
Muffy says FRANCINE, YOU HAD THE PHONE
ON SELFIE MODE.
Francine says I KNOW I GOT A PICTURE
OF HER SOMEWHERE.
Muffy says UGH! IT'S LIKE YOU'RE
FROM THE STONE AGE.
HERE'S A SHOT OF LADONNA
AND YOUR THUMB!
Francine says I'M TELLING YOU,
THERE IS A MIGHTY MOUNTAIN
T-SHIRT UNDER THAT THUMB.
SHE HAS THIS FRIEND THERE.
Brain says I'M SORRY, FRANCINE,
BUT THIS DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING.
Francine says FINE! YOU WANT PROOF?
I'LL GET YOU PROOF.
Buster says OH, I THINK WE HAVE PROOF
ENOUGH, MADAME FRANSKY,
OR WHATEVER YOUR REAL NAME IS!
In class, Francine says LADONNA!
Ladonna says OH, HEY, FRANCINE.
ARE YOU FREE NEXT SATURDAY?
THERE'S SOMEONE I'D LIKE YOU T...
Francine says NEVER MIND THAT!
HERE'S ANOTHER SECRET PLAY
FOR OUR GAME AGAINST
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN TOMORROW.
I NEED SOMEONE TO HANG ONTO IT
FOR SAFEKEEPING.
CAN I TRUST YOU?
Ladonna says SURE, BUT...
Francine leaves her in mid-sentence.
Francine joins the kids at a school desk and says WHEN SHE GIVES THE PAPER
TO HER MIGHTY MOUNTAIN FRIEND,
I'LL BE THERE TO PHOTOGRAPH IT.
THEN, YOU'LL HAVE YOUR PROOF.
(school bell ringing)
(indistinct chatter)
Francine follows Ladonna to the library. Then, Ladonna sits outside her house reading.
Danny says HEY, LADONNA!
Ladonna says HEY!
(camera clicking)
Francine takes a picture of them.
Francine says I HAVE YOU NOW,
LADONNA COMPSON.
Later, the team stands at the soccer field.
Francine runs to them and says THERE'S A TRAITOR IN OUR MIDST,
AND I HAVE PROOF.
Francine shows them a picture.
Arthur says THAT'S JUST LADONNA GIVING A KID
A PIECE OF PAPER.
Francine says NOT JUST ANY PIECE OF PAPER.
IT'S A SECRET PLAY I GAVE HER
YESTERDAY!
RIGHT, BRAIN?
Brain says IT MIGHT BE. IT'S HARD TO TELL.
Muffy says WAIT! THERE HE IS.
HE IS ON THE TEAM!
Buster says FRANCINE WAS RIGHT.
Ladonna says DANNY, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET
MY FRIEND...
Francine points at Ladonna and says MIGHTY MOUNTAIN SPIES!
Ladonna says EXCUSE ME?
Francine says DON'T PLAY INNOCENT.
I'VE BEEN SPYING ON YOU.
I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN SECRETLY
MEETING WITH HIM.
Ladonna says YOU'VE BEEN WHAT?
Francine says SHE GAVE YOU A PIECE OF PAPER
YESTERDAY, ADMIT IT!
Danny says IT'S TRUE, SHE DID.
I ACTUALLY HAVE IT ON ME.
Francine reads "I, LADONNA COMPSON, REQUEST
THE PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY
"AT A COOKOUT WITH ME
AND MY FRIENDS
AT MY HOUSE THIS SATURDAY."
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
Ladonna says YES, DANNY DOES GO
TO MIGHTY MOUNTAIN,
AND YES, I HAVE BEEN
MEETING WITH HIM
BECAUSE HE'S A NEW STUDENT!
AND MY FRIEND!
HERE'S THE PIECE OF PAPER
YOU GAVE ME YESTERDAY,
SAFE AND SOUND.
Ladonna says UH, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY.
(whistle blowing)
Danny says HOW ABOUT "HAVE A GOOD GAME"?
Danny and Francine shake hands and Francine smiles.
Next, all the kids play a mimic game in Ladonna’s living room.
Arthur says IS IT A FROG?
Buster says SO CLOSE!
IT WAS AN OCTOPUS WATERSKIING.
Ladonna says MY TURN!
Ladonna makes a surprise gesture.
Danny says I GOT IT!
IT'S FRANCINE AFTER I SCORED
THE WINNING GOAL LAST WEEK.
Ladonna says NAILED IT!
(laughing)
Francine says IT WAS AN AMAZING SHOT,
BUT DON'T GET TOO COCKY.
I HAVE A NEW STRATEGY
FOR THE NEXT GAME.
Ladonna says HEY, NO SHARING SECRETS
WITH THE ENEMY!
Francine says IT'S CALLED "LESS SPYING,
MORE PRACTICING."
YOU READY, TORRES?
Danny says YOU BET, FRANSKY!
AND NOW...
They all run outside.
A green patterned slate appears. It reads "A Word From an Army Sergeant."
Jason stands outdoors. He wears a military uniform.
Jason says HI, MY NAME IS SERGEANT
JASON CHIN
FROM THE U.S. ARMY
NATIONAL GUARD,
AND MY FAMILY IS A MILITARY
FAMILY JUST LIKE DANNY'S.
WE HAVE MY 3-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
HARPER,
MY 7-YEAR-OLD SON CADEN.
THIS IS MY WIFE LAURA,
AND I AM JASON.
SO, I'VE BEEN AWAY FROM HOME
FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW,
AND TODAY, I'M HEADED OVER
TO THE THOMPSON SCHOOL
TO SURPRISE MY 7-YEAR-OLD SON
CADEN,
WHO I HAVE NOT SEEN
IN OVER 11 MONTHS.
Laura says WHEN HE LEAVES, IT'S JUST ME,
CADEN AND HARPER.
Two pictures of the family appear.
Jason says IT'S REALLY HARD WAKING UP
IN THE MORNING,
KNOWING THAT I'M THOUSANDS
AND THOUSAND OF MILES AWAY
FROM THE KIDS.
WE ARE IN NORTH ANDOVER,
MASSACHUSETTS,
AT THE THOMPSON ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL.
A man talking with a microphone says CADEN, CAN YOU COME UP AND HELP
ME WITH THE PLEDGE THIS MORNING?
CADEN, YOU'RE GONNA STAND
OVER HERE.
WE'LL HOLD THE FLAG TOGETHER
SO WE CAN DO THE PLEDGE, OKAY?
Jason says THEY'RE GONNA SAY THAT THEY'VE
GOT A SPECIAL GUEST.
The man talking with a microphone says CAN OUR SPECIAL GUEST COME IN?
Jason says THAT'S WHEN I'M GONNA WALK IN,
AND ALL THE EXCITEMENT'S
GONNA HAPPEN.
The man talking with a microphone says COME ON IN, SPECIAL GUEST.
Caden runs to hug Jason and says DADDY!
WHOO! DADDY!
(applause)
Now, Caden sits on a swing. He has short blond hair and wears a blue T-shirt.
Caden says WHEN MY DAD WALKED INTO
THE SCHOOL,
I FELT HAPPY AND I ALMOST
DROPPED THE FLAG.
Jason says WHAT WAS IT LIKE NOT SEEING DAD
FOR ALMOST A WHILE YEAR?
Caden says IT WAS KIND OF LONELY
WITHOUT YOU.
Jason says YEAH, I BET.
I MISSED YOU GUYS
QUITE A BIT
WHEN I WAS GONE.
Caden says NOW THAT MY DAD IS HOME,
ME AND MY FAMILY AND MY DAD
CAN PLAY TOGETHER.
WE'RE ALSO GONNA PLAY TAG.
AND MY DAD PLAYS VIDEOGAMES
WITH ME.
They sit on a sofa playing a videogame.
Caden says GONNA BEAT YOU, DADDY.
Jason says MILITARY FAMILIES MAKE A HUGE
SACRIFICE FOR OUR COUNTRY.
Caden says HE'S HELPING OUR COUNTRY
AND HELP KEEPING US SAFE.
Jason says FIVE PLUS TWO?
Caden says WHEN MY DAD IS HERE,
I'M HAPPY.
Kids say AND NOW, BACK TO
ARTHUR!
Muffy, Sue Ellen and Francine sit on Brain’s shop. Muffy holds a tablet.
Muffy says FEAST YOUR EYES ON MY NEW
YOUWHOTUBE CHANNEL,
MUFFY'S WORLD!
Sue Ellen says WOW, YOU MADE THAT
YOURSELF?
Muffy says YUP, IT WAS EASY.
Francine says BECAUSE YOU HAD BAILEY
DO IT FOR YOU?
Muffy says NO!
I CAN DO SOME THINGS
ON MY OWN, YOU KNOW.
I DREW A SKETCH OF IT,
AND PAID BRAIN TO MAKE IT.
Sue Ellen says WHAT'S "MY DAY"?
Muddy says MY VIDEO DIARY.
I WAS JUST GOING TO GIVE
MY ADORING FANS
A TOUR OF MY FAVOURITE PLACES.
WANT TO COME?
Sue Ellen nods and Francine shrugs.
Muffy films herself and her friends.
Muffy says HI, FANS!
HERE'S WHERE MY SQUAD AND I
LOVE TO GET A SNACK,
THE SUGAR BOWL!
Francine says YOUR SQUAD?
Muffy says THEN, WE CHILL AT THE BRAIN'S
ICE CREAM SHOP.
GET IT? "CHILL," ICE CREAM?
Sue Ellen waves at the tablet and Francine says UGH, MAKE IT STOP!
Filming, Muffy says AND NOW, WE'RE GOING TO
THE MOST SACRED OF PLACES.
THE MALL!
Sue-Ellen says HEY, WAIT, AREN'T YOU GOING
TO SHOW THEM THE LIBRARY?
Muffy says EH, OKAY.
Sue Ellen says THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES
IN ALL OF ELWOOD CITY.
IT'S GOT EVERY BOOK YOU COULD
POSSIBLY WANT, AND IT'S...
She turns and says CLOSING?
A sign reads "Book sale due to the possible closing of the Elwood City Public Library."
Sue Ellen says NO!
A green diamond slate appears. It reads "Sue Ellen and the last page."
A caption under it reads "written by Belinda Arredondo-Storyboard by Dev Ramsaran and Allan Jeffery."
Miss Turner saves books in a cardboard box. She wears glasses and a purple dress.
Miss Turner says IT'S NOT 100 percent DEFINITE YET,
BUT UNLESS THE CITY COUNCIL
CHANGES ITS MIND,
WE'LL LOSE OUR FUNDING.
Francine says BUT WHY?
Miss Turner says WE HAVEN'T HAD AS MANY PATRONS
TAKING OUT BOOKS.
PEOPLE SEEM TO BE DOING MORE
AND MORE READING ONLINE.
Muffy says THAT'S TRUE!
I HAVE THE ENTIRE
HENRY SKREEVER
SERIES ON THIS,
AND NEWSPAPERS, AND ALL MY
MAGAZINES, AND...
Sue Ellen gestures Muffy to stop talking.
Muffy says OH!
BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME AS
A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED BOOK!
OW! A PAPERCUT.
Sue Ellen says BUT THE LIBRARY IS MORE
THAN JUST A PLACE TO READ.
IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT MAKES ELWOOD CITY...
ELWOOD CITY!
Miss Turner says I FEEL THE SAME WAY.
Sue Ellen says ISN'T THERE SOMETHING
WE CAN DO?
Miss Turner says THE COUNCIL IS HOLDING A MEETING
ABOUT IT THIS FRIDAY.
ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC
IS WELCOME TO SPEAK.
Sue Ellen says OH, I'LL SPEAK, ALL RIGHT!
WE'RE NOT GOING DOWN
WITHOUT A FIGHT!
Sue Ellen imagines being a flying super hero that stops a crane from tearing apart the library.y
Sue Ellen says NOT SO FAST!
HI-YA!
(crashing)
Cat Saver says NICE WORK, LIBRARY SAVER!
Sue Ellen says THANKS, CAT SAVER!
BY THE POWER VESTED IN ME
BY THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS,
I DECLARE THIS LIBRARY
OPEN FOREVER!
(crowd cheering)
Now, the kids have lunch at the cafeteria.
Arthur says I CAN'T IMAGINE ELWOOD CITY
WITHOUT A LIBRARY.
Muffy says LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.
THEY COULD REPLACE IT
WITH SOMETHING REALLY USEFUL,
LIKE A NEW BOUTIQUE!
Sue Ellen says GUYS, THE LIBRARY ISN'T
GOING ANYWHERE.
WE'RE GOING TO SAVE IT!
Arthur says HOW?
Sue Ellen says WE HAVE TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE
AS WE CAN TO COME TO
THAT MEETING ON FRIDAY.
I'LL MAKE UP SOME FLYERS.
(bicycle bell ringing)
Sue Ellen and Miss Turner hand flyers that read "Save the library!" to people on the street. Buster and Arthur distribute them by bicycle. Brain hands one to a customer.
At the meeting, Sue Ellen says WHERE IS EVERYONE?
I MUST HAVE GIVEN OUT
HUNDREDS OF FLYERS!
Muffy says IT'S A FRIDAY.
SENSIBLE PEOPLE,
LIKE MY FANS,
ARE OUT HAVING FUN.
A male member of the board says ORDINANCE 22A,
TO CLOSE THE ELWOOD CITY
LIBRARY.
A female member of the board says WE WILL NOW OPEN
THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION.
ANYONE?
Buster raises his hand and stands up.
He says OH!
IF WE CLOSE THE LIBRARY,
HOW WILL ALIEN CIVILIZATIONS
KNOW THAT WE WERE
AN ADVANCED SOCIETY?
NOT JUST A BUNCH OF HAIRY
ANIMALS
GLUED TO THEIR CELL PHONES?
THANK YOU.
He turns to Arthur and whispers PRETTY GOOD, HUH?
Arthur covers his eyes.
The female member of the board says ANYONE ELSE?
Sue Ellen says I'D LIKE TO SAY
SOMETHING.
She stands up and reads MY NAME IS SUE ELLEN ARMSTRONG.
I CAME TO ELWOOD CITY
A YEAR AGO,
AND NO PLACE MADE ME FEEL MORE
AT HOME THAN THE LIBRARY.
Muffy films Sue Ellen using her tablet.
(clock ticking)
After twenty minutes, Sue Ellen continues SO, FOR THE GOOD OF THIS CITY,
THIS COMMUNITY AND KIDS LIKE ME,
I STRONGLY URGE YOU
TO RECONSIDER.
THANK YOU.
(cheering, clapping)
Later, Francine, George and Buster talk by the lockers.
Francine says AND THEN, SHE SAID, "WE WILL NOT
STAND FOR THIS KIND OF TYRANNY!"
IT WAS AMAZING.
Buster says HEY, WE WERE JUST TELLING GEORGE
ABOUT YOUR SPEECH.
Sue Ellen says OH, IT WAS NOTHING.
IT'S NOT ABOUT ME,
IT'S ABOUT THE CAUSE.
Francine says I THINK YOU MEAN...
IT WAS ABOUT THE CAUSE.
Francine hands Sue Ellen a newspaper.
Sue Ellen reads "CITY COUNCIL VOTES
TO CLOSE LIBRARY"?
WHAT?
BUT I WORKED SO HARD
ON THAT SPEECH!
Francine says YOUR SPEECH WAS GREAT.
THERE JUST WASN'T ENOUGH SUPPORT
TO KEEP IT OPEN.
Muffy says CONGRATULATIONS!
Sue Ellen says WHAT?
Muffy shows Sue Ellen her tablet and says YOUR SPEECH GOT OVER 600 HITS
ON
MUFFY'S WORLD.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO NEXT?
HOW ABOUT SAVE THE KITTENS?
Sue Ellen says HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?
IT DIDN'T WORK.
THE LIBRARY'S CLOSING.
I KNOW YOU DON'T CARE,
BUT I DO!
Later, Sue Ellen and Miss Turner put books in boxes.
Sue Ellen says IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE PEOPLE
AT THAT MEETING,
I BET THE VOTE WOULD HAVE
BEEN DIFFERENT.
Miss Turner says MAYBE.
I DO WISH MORE PEOPLE
HAD SHOWN UP.
Sue Ellen finds a book that reads "The Gourmet Ghost." She opens it and reads the lending list on the back cover.
She sighs and says THERE I AM.
Muffy says MY NAME'S IN THERE
TOO, YOU KNOW.
I TOOK OUT ALL THE SCARE YOUR
PANTS OFF BOOKS FROM HERE.
IN FACT, I WAS THE FIRST PERSON
IN OUR CLASS
TO GET A LIBRARY CARD.
Sue Ellen says REALLY?
Muffy says UH-HUH.
I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED
WHEN I LEARNED YOU COULDN'T BUY
ANYTHING WITH IT,
BUT I WAS STILL GLAD
TO HAVE IT.
THIS PLACE DOES MATTER TO ME.
I HAVE AN IDEA!
HERE'S THE VIDEO OF YOUR SPEECH.
IT NOW HAS 742 HITS.
Muffy shows a clip on her tablet.
In a remix, Sue Ellen says WE WILL NOT STAND, STAND,
STAND...
THIS TYRANNY, TYRANNY,
TYRANNY...
STRONGLY URGE YOU CHILDREN,
CHILDREN, CHILDREN...
SO HUNGRY FOR KNOWLEDGE,
KNOWLEDGE, KNOWLEDGE
TO RECONSIDER.
Sue Ellen says WHAT DID YOU DO TO IT?
Muffy says JUST SPICED IT UP A LITTLE,
BUT LOOK AT THE COMMENTS!
POLLY821 SAYS,
"KEEP THAT LIBRARY OPEN.
HOW CAN I HELP?
Sue Ellen reads JAMAL22 SAYS, "YOU GO, GIRL.
I WOULD GIVE MONEY TO THIS."
WOW.
Muffy says THERE ARE TONS MORE LIKE THAT.
WE COULD MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO
AND ASK FOR DONATIONS!
Sue Ellen says YOU THINK WE'D BE ABLE TO RAISE
ENOUGH TO KEEP THE LIBRARY OPEN?
Miss Turner says WE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE
TO DO THAT.
IF WE RAISED A LITTLE BIT
FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE,
IT WOULD SHOW THE COUNCIL
HOW MUCH PEOPLE CARED.
THEY JUST MIGHT REVERSE
THEIR DECISION.
Sue Ellen records a video.
She says SUE ELLEN ARMSTRONG HERE,
AKA, THE LIBRARY SAVER!
GUEST REPORTING
FOR
MUFFY'S WORLD.
TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT
WHY PEOPLE FROM ELWOOD CITY
LOVE THEIR LIBRARY.
FIRST UP, ARTHUR READ.
Arthur sits on a sofa in his living room.
Sue Ellen interviews him and says IS IT TRUE THAT YOUR LAST NAME
IS "READ."
BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
LIKE READING SO MUCH?
Arthur says UM, I THINK THAT'S JUST
A COINCIDENCE.
Sue Ellen says OH, OKAY, MOVING ON.
SO, WHY DO YOU LOVE
OUR LIBRARY?
Arthur says MAINLY BECAUSE OF MISS TURNER.
SHE KNOWS JUST WHAT I LIKE
TO READ,
AND ALWAYS RECOMMENDS
GREAT BOOKS.
DW whispers something to Arthur.
Arthur says OH, AND STORY TIME
AT THE LIBRARY IS GREAT, TOO!
Sue Ellen continues interviewing her friends.
Ladonna says I LOVE THE LIBRARY BOOK CLUB.
I MET SO MANY NEW, INTERESTING
PEOPLE THERE!
George says I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER,
SO I USE THE LIBRARY'S.
Brain says THE BEST THING ABOUT
THE LIBRARY?
Francine says I GUESS THE LECTURE SERIES.
IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO HAVE
A MEETING.
Muffy says TO DO RESEARCH!
Buster says TO NAP!
Granma says WHAT DO I LOVE ABOUT
THE LIBRARY?
ZUMBA LESSONS!
Talking to the screen, Sue Ellen says SHOW YOUR SUPPORT OF LIBRARIES
BY DONATING TO OUR
SAVE THE ELWOOD CITY
LIBRARY CAMPAIGN!
Muffy says SPREAD THE WORD!
DON'T FORGET TO USE THE HASHTAG,
LOVEALIBRARY.
(Muffy's voice echoing)
Then, Muffy and Sue Ellen watch the finished video.
Muffy says CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE USE
THE LIBRARY
FOR SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
IT'S LIKE A MALL, WITH BOOKS!
Sue Ellen says I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PUT LASERS
COMING OUT OF MY EYES AGAIN.
Muffy says I WAS VERY RESTRAINED.
I WAS GOING TO HAVE YOU
RIDE OFF ON A BABY PANDA.
Sue Ellen says NOW WHAT?
Muffy says WE WAIT TO SEE IF PEOPLE
WILL ACTUALLY GIVE MONEY.
Sue Ellen says NOTHING YET.
Muffy says SUE ELLEN, WE JUST
UPLOADED IT!
IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN
A MINUTE.
Sue Ellen says YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE HAVE TO RELAX.
Muffy grabs the mouse and says OH, GIVE ME THAT!
(clicking)
The computer screen shows 0 dollars.
Then, the girls walk into the library.
Sue Ellen says HELLO?
I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL HER
HOW MUCH WE RAISED!
Muffy says WE SHOULD REALLY GO
INTO BUSINESS.
CHARITY WORK IS FUN!
BUT IT'D BE SO MUCH MORE FUN
IF WE GOT PAID!
Muffy takes a picture out of a cardboard box. It shows her parents dancing when they were young.
Muffy says HMM, WHAT'S A PICTURE OF MY MOM
AND DAD DOING HERE?
Sue Ellen reads the back of the picture and says "THE SHAKE AND SHOUT DANCE."
THERE USED TO BE DANCES
IN THE LIBRARY?
Miss Turner says YEP, AND THERE COULD BE AGAIN.
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE
WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.
THE LIBRARY STAYS OPEN!
Muffy screams YES! WHOO-HOO!
The girls high-five.
Miss Turner says OF COURSE, THEY'RE NOT GIVING US
AS MUCH MONEY AS USUAL.
WE'LL HAVE TO CUT MORE PROGRAMS,
AND THERE ARE NO FUNDS
FOR NEW COMPUTERS.
Sue Ellen says WAIT, WOULD THIS HELP?
THIS IS HOW MUCH WE'VE RAISED!
She shows Miss Turner the tablet.
Miss Turner says THAT'S AMAZING,
BUT I'M AFRAID WE NEED
A BIT MORE.
Muffy says I JUST MIGHT KNOW SOMEONE
WHO COULD HELP.
Ed talks in front of a group of people in a large room full of computers.
Ed says WELCOME, EVERYONE!
IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE
TO ANNOUNCE THE OPENING
OF THE NEW CROSSWIRE MOTORS
COMPUTER OASIS.
IN HONOUR OF THIS FINE
INSTITUTION
WHICH HAS GIVEN
THE COMMUNITY SO MUCH,
AND WAS THE PLACE WHERE I MET
MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE.
Ed kisses his wife and then, they cut an opening ribbon.
(cheering, clapping)
Ed says MUSIC, PLEASE!
(disco music playing)
Muffy says I GUESS I OWE THIS LIBRARY
A LOT MORE THAN I THOUGHT I DID.
Sue Ellen says WE ALL DO!
The kids and adults dance and have fun.
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 says HEY, DW!
She says HEY!
Arthur falls backwards and says WHOA! OOF!
The episode begins with Francine dressed up in a suit as James Bond. She throws an apple to the screen and splashes all red.
(suspenseful music playing)
At a desk, Muffy hands Francine an envelope that reads "Top Secret."
Muffy says 008, THERE'S A SPY IN OUR MIDST!
I WANT YOU TO FIND HIM
AND BRING HIM TO JUSTICE.
Francine says YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, M!
Muffy says THERE'S ONE CATCH.
NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN
WHAT THE SPY LOOKS LIKE!
(marble rattling)
Arthur plays roulette in a casino.
Buster says 8 WINS AGAIN.
Francine flips a casino chip, Buster grabs it and saves it in his inner pocket.
A person wearing a mask and a hat runs away. Francine gasps and chases the person in her red car.
(motor revving)
(car starting)
The person drives into a secret cave. A stone door closes the cave.
(brakes screeching)
A drill pops up of Francine’s car and drills a hole in the cave’s door.
(drilling)
The masked person rushes to push a button but Francine stops the villain.
Francine says NOT SO FAST!
IF YOU'RE GONNA TRY TO BLOW UP
THE WORLD,
AT LEAST HAVE THE COURAGE
TO SHOW YOUR FACE!
WHAT?
IT CAN'T BE!
HOW COULD THE VILLAIN BE...
Francine removes the villain’s mask. It’s Francine.
Francine says ME?
A lilac striped slate appears. It reads "Francine and the Soccer Spy."
A caption under it reads "written by Vanessa Wiegel-Storyboard by Bernie Denk and Allan Jeffery."
On a sunny day, the kids play football.
Binky tires to stop a penalty and says UGH!
(whistle blowing)
Muffy says I CAN'T BELIEVE WE DIDN'T
EVEN SCORE ONCE.
Arthur says IT WAS LIKE THEY ALWAYS KNEW
JUST WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO.
Buster says MAYBE MIGHTY MOUNTAIN
IS USING A MIND-READER.
Arthur says YEAH, OR THEY HAVE SPIES
EVERYWHERE.
They laugh.
Francine says I'LL TELL YOU WHY WE LOST.
WE NEED TO PRACTICE MORE!
Ladonna says THERE'S ALWAYS THE NEXT GAME.
COME ON!
LAST ONE BACK TO THE SUGAR BOWL
IS A MOLDY TURNIP!
Now, Ladonna’s dad speaks on the phone seating in his kitchen.
Ladonna’s dad says GREAT! SEE YOU FOR DINNER
TOMORROW!
Ladonna says WHO'S COMING TO DINNER?
Ladonna’s dad says THE TORRES FAMILY.
THEY JUST MOVED HERE.
MRS. TORRES IS IN THE NAVY.
HER SON DANNY IS YOUR AGE.
Ladonna says COOL!
WILL HE BE GOING
TO MY SCHOOL?
Ladonna’s dad says NOPE, MIGHTY MOUNTAIN.
I BET HE COULD USE A FRIEND
IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD, THOUGH.
Ladonna says YEAH, I KNOW THAT
"NEW PLACE" FEELING.
LEAVE IT TO ME, I'LL MAKE HIM
FEEL RIGHT AT HOME.
Next, the kids gather in the field. Francine stands by a board.
Francine says WE'VE GOT ANOTHER GAME AGAINST
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN ON FRIDAY,
AND WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
The kids look down and say WIN.
Francine says DID I HEAR A BUNCH OF MICE
SQUEAKING?
LET'S HEAR IT AGAIN!
Loudly, they raise their arms and say WIN!
Francine says THAT'S RIGHT, AND I'VE GOT
JUST THE PLAY TO DO IT.
BUT FIRST, YOU MUST SWEAR
YOURSELVES TO SECRECY.
NO BLABBING TO ANYONE
NOT ON THIS TEAM.
NOT YOUR MOM,
NOT YOUR BUTLER,
NOT EVEN YOUR TEDDY BEAR.
Arthur says UH, I DON'T HAVE
A TEDDY BEAR.
Francine shows them a plan for the game on the board.
Brain says THAT LOOKS EXCEEDINGLY
COMPLICATED.
Francine says AND THAT'S WHY IT'LL WORK.
ALL RIGHT,
LET'S START FROM THE TOP!
The kids lie on the grass exhausted.
Francine says NO, NO!
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FAKE LEFT,
TURN 66 DEGREES,
AND THEN PASS TO BRAIN.
LET'S TRY IT AGAIN.
Ladonna gasps and says OH, NO! I'M LATE!
GOT TO RUN!
GREAT PRACTICE TODAY!
Francine says HEY, WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING?
WE'RE NOT DONE!
Ladonna’s parents stand next to Danny and his mother.
Ladonna’s dad says BUD DID GREAT.
NO CAVITIES!
Ladonna says SORRY I'M LATE!
Ladonna’s dad says HEY, THIS IS DANNY.
WHY DON'T YOU TWO
GET ACQUAINTED?
The adults leave.
Ladonna says I'M LADONNA,
YOUR PERSONAL TOUR GUIDE
TO ALL THINGS ELWOOD CITY!
Danny wears a green sport outfit. They shake hands.
Danny says PLEASED TO MEET YOU.
Ladonna says IS THIS YOUR FIRST MOVE?
Danny nods and says YOU?
Ladonna says WE'VE MOVED THREE TIMES
SO FAR.
IT'S LIKE THEY SAY,
HOME IS WHERE THE ARMY
SENDS YOU.
Danny says OR THE NAVY.
Ladonna offer Danny a snack and they sit on the sofa.
Ladonna says MY FIRST DAY AT LAKEWOOD,
I WAS SO NERVOUS
I SKIPPED BREAKFAST.
BY LUNCH, MY TUMMY WAS GROWLING
LOUDER THAN A LION.
BUT I'VE MADE SOME REALLY
GREAT FRIENDS.
HEY, I KNOW!
I'LL CALL THEM NOW.
WE CAN HANG OUT
TOMORROW.
Danny says OH, UH, THANKS, BUT COULD WE DO
IT A LITTLE LATER?
I'M JUST KIND OF...
Ladonna says OVERWHELMED?
Danny nods.
Ladonna says NO PROBLEM.
Ladonna looks at a soccer ball on the floor.
Danny says DO YOU PLAY?
A LITTLE.
Francine says IF YOU PASS MORE,
WE'RE GONNA SCORE MORE!
Arthur says I GOT IT, MORE PASSING.
OKAY, SEE YOU LATER.
I HAVE TO TALK TO LADONNA.
WHAT COULD BE SO IMPORTANT THAT
SHE HAD TO LEAVE PRACTICE EARLY?
Francine spies on Ladonna. She sees him playing football with Danny on his front garden.
Francine says HUH?
Ladonna says HEY! YOU'RE REALLY GOOD.
Danny says THANKS, I WAS CENTRE FORWARD
ON MY TEAM BACK HOME.
WE WERE UNDEFEATED.
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN IS GOING
TO BE EVEN BETTER
WITH YOU ON THE TEAM!
A neighbor blows leaves using a blower next to Francine.
Francine says OH, WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?
Danny says UNFORTUNATELY,
I'M NOT ON THE TEAM.
Ladonna says WHY NOT?
Danny says THEY HAD TRYOUTS
A FEW WEEKS AGO.
I MISSED THEM.
Ladonna says YOU SHOULD TALK TO THE COACH!
I BET HE'D GIVE YOU
ANOTHER CHANCE.
Danny says I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE
A BIG FUSS.
Ladonna says BUT THEY DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE MISSING!
Ladonna’s father knocks on a window and says DINNER!
Ladonna says ANYWAY, IF YOU NEED
ANYTHING AT ALL,
JUST ASK ME!
Later, Francine and Muffy talk by the lockers.
Francine says ARTHUR WAS RIGHT!
Muffy says RIGHT ABOUT WHAT?
Francine says SHH.
THERE IS A SPY ON OUR TEAM.
Francine points to Ladonna, who is putting books on his locker.
Muffy says OH, THAT'S RIDICULOUS!
Francine whispers YESTERDAY, I SAW LADONNA
PLAYING SOCCER WITH SOMEONE NEW,
AND I THINK HE'S FROM
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN.
Muffy says DO YOU KNOW THAT
FOR SURE?
Francine whispers WELL, NO, BUT SHE SAID SHE WOULD
GIVE HIM ANYTHING HE NEEDED.
WHAT IF SHE'S GIVING HIM
OUR SECRET PLAYS?
Muffy says YOU'RE ACTING PARANOID.
WHY ON EARTH WOULD LADONNA
DO THAT?
Francine says I DON'T KNOW.
Muffy says JUST DROP IT, OKAY?
Francine says OKAY,
BUT JUST AFTER ONE MORE
TEENY-TINY INVESTIGATION.
CAN I BORROW YOUR PHONE
AFTER SCHOOL?
Francine hides behind garbage cans looking through binoculars. She is spying on Ladonna.
She says MAYBE I AM OVERREACTING.
Danny says HEY, LADONNA!
Ladonna says DANNY!
WANT SOME LEMONADE?
Francine films them using Muffy’s cell phone.
(fly buzzing)
Francine says SHOO!
Danny says I CAN'T STAY.
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU
THE GOOD NEWS.
I TALKED TO THE COACH.
HE'S GONNA LET ME PLAY!
Ladonna says THAT'S AMAZING!
YOU'RE GONNA BE
THE STAR OF THE TEAM!
Danny says WELL, IT'S ALL THANKS TO YOU.
AND, UH, TO SHOW
MY APPRECIATION,
I GOT YOU SOMETHING.
Talking to the flies, Francine says AHH! GET AWAY!
Danny hands Ladonna a red sport T-shirt.
(camera clicking)
Ladonna gasps and takes pictures.
Ladonna says I BETTER NOT BE CAUGHT
WEARING THIS.
WE'RE ARCHRIVALS, YOU KNOW.
Danny says TRUE.
BUT IT'LL PROBABLY BE
A COLLECTOR'S ITEM SOMEDAY.
Francine says OH! UGH!
(cans clattering)
Francine runs away.
The kids sit at Brain’s shop. Francine places the close sign on the door.
Brain says THIS BETTER NOT TAKE LONG.
WE COULD LOSE CUSTOMERS!
Arthur says WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAVE
A SECRET MEETING, ANYWAY?
Francine says I HATE TO TELL YOU GUYS THIS,
BUT WE HAVE A SPY
ON OUR SOCCER TEAM.
Buster says NO!
Muffy says OH, NOT THIS AGAIN.
Arthur says WHO?
Francine shows Arthur a picture on the cell phone and says HER.
Arthur says YOU'RE THE SPY?
Francine says WHAT? NO!
GIVE ME THAT!
Buster says I KNEW IT!
IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
WE'D NEVER SUSPECT
OUR OWN CAPTAIN.
Muffy says FRANCINE, YOU HAD THE PHONE
ON SELFIE MODE.
Francine says I KNOW I GOT A PICTURE
OF HER SOMEWHERE.
Muffy says UGH! IT'S LIKE YOU'RE
FROM THE STONE AGE.
HERE'S A SHOT OF LADONNA
AND YOUR THUMB!
Francine says I'M TELLING YOU,
THERE IS A MIGHTY MOUNTAIN
T-SHIRT UNDER THAT THUMB.
SHE HAS THIS FRIEND THERE.
Brain says I'M SORRY, FRANCINE,
BUT THIS DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING.
Francine says FINE! YOU WANT PROOF?
I'LL GET YOU PROOF.
Buster says OH, I THINK WE HAVE PROOF
ENOUGH, MADAME FRANSKY,
OR WHATEVER YOUR REAL NAME IS!
In class, Francine says LADONNA!
Ladonna says OH, HEY, FRANCINE.
ARE YOU FREE NEXT SATURDAY?
THERE'S SOMEONE I'D LIKE YOU T...
Francine says NEVER MIND THAT!
HERE'S ANOTHER SECRET PLAY
FOR OUR GAME AGAINST
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN TOMORROW.
I NEED SOMEONE TO HANG ONTO IT
FOR SAFEKEEPING.
CAN I TRUST YOU?
Ladonna says SURE, BUT...
Francine leaves her in mid-sentence.
Francine joins the kids at a school desk and says WHEN SHE GIVES THE PAPER
TO HER MIGHTY MOUNTAIN FRIEND,
I'LL BE THERE TO PHOTOGRAPH IT.
THEN, YOU'LL HAVE YOUR PROOF.
(school bell ringing)
(indistinct chatter)
Francine follows Ladonna to the library. Then, Ladonna sits outside her house reading.
Danny says HEY, LADONNA!
Ladonna says HEY!
(camera clicking)
Francine takes a picture of them.
Francine says I HAVE YOU NOW,
LADONNA COMPSON.
Later, the team stands at the soccer field.
Francine runs to them and says THERE'S A TRAITOR IN OUR MIDST,
AND I HAVE PROOF.
Francine shows them a picture.
Arthur says THAT'S JUST LADONNA GIVING A KID
A PIECE OF PAPER.
Francine says NOT JUST ANY PIECE OF PAPER.
IT'S A SECRET PLAY I GAVE HER
YESTERDAY!
RIGHT, BRAIN?
Brain says IT MIGHT BE. IT'S HARD TO TELL.
Muffy says WAIT! THERE HE IS.
HE IS ON THE TEAM!
Buster says FRANCINE WAS RIGHT.
Ladonna says DANNY, I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET
MY FRIEND...
Francine points at Ladonna and says MIGHTY MOUNTAIN SPIES!
Ladonna says EXCUSE ME?
Francine says DON'T PLAY INNOCENT.
I'VE BEEN SPYING ON YOU.
I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN SECRETLY
MEETING WITH HIM.
Ladonna says YOU'VE BEEN WHAT?
Francine says SHE GAVE YOU A PIECE OF PAPER
YESTERDAY, ADMIT IT!
Danny says IT'S TRUE, SHE DID.
I ACTUALLY HAVE IT ON ME.
Francine reads "I, LADONNA COMPSON, REQUEST
THE PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY
"AT A COOKOUT WITH ME
AND MY FRIENDS
AT MY HOUSE THIS SATURDAY."
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
Ladonna says YES, DANNY DOES GO
TO MIGHTY MOUNTAIN,
AND YES, I HAVE BEEN
MEETING WITH HIM
BECAUSE HE'S A NEW STUDENT!
AND MY FRIEND!
HERE'S THE PIECE OF PAPER
YOU GAVE ME YESTERDAY,
SAFE AND SOUND.
Ladonna says UH, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY.
(whistle blowing)
Danny says HOW ABOUT "HAVE A GOOD GAME"?
Danny and Francine shake hands and Francine smiles.
Next, all the kids play a mimic game in Ladonna’s living room.
Arthur says IS IT A FROG?
Buster says SO CLOSE!
IT WAS AN OCTOPUS WATERSKIING.
Ladonna says MY TURN!
Ladonna makes a surprise gesture.
Danny says I GOT IT!
IT'S FRANCINE AFTER I SCORED
THE WINNING GOAL LAST WEEK.
Ladonna says NAILED IT!
(laughing)
Francine says IT WAS AN AMAZING SHOT,
BUT DON'T GET TOO COCKY.
I HAVE A NEW STRATEGY
FOR THE NEXT GAME.
Ladonna says HEY, NO SHARING SECRETS
WITH THE ENEMY!
Francine says IT'S CALLED "LESS SPYING,
MORE PRACTICING."
YOU READY, TORRES?
Danny says YOU BET, FRANSKY!
AND NOW...
They all run outside.
A green patterned slate appears. It reads "A Word From an Army Sergeant."
Jason stands outdoors. He wears a military uniform.
Jason says HI, MY NAME IS SERGEANT
JASON CHIN
FROM THE U.S. ARMY
NATIONAL GUARD,
AND MY FAMILY IS A MILITARY
FAMILY JUST LIKE DANNY'S.
WE HAVE MY 3-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
HARPER,
MY 7-YEAR-OLD SON CADEN.
THIS IS MY WIFE LAURA,
AND I AM JASON.
SO, I'VE BEEN AWAY FROM HOME
FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW,
AND TODAY, I'M HEADED OVER
TO THE THOMPSON SCHOOL
TO SURPRISE MY 7-YEAR-OLD SON
CADEN,
WHO I HAVE NOT SEEN
IN OVER 11 MONTHS.
Laura says WHEN HE LEAVES, IT'S JUST ME,
CADEN AND HARPER.
Two pictures of the family appear.
Jason says IT'S REALLY HARD WAKING UP
IN THE MORNING,
KNOWING THAT I'M THOUSANDS
AND THOUSAND OF MILES AWAY
FROM THE KIDS.
WE ARE IN NORTH ANDOVER,
MASSACHUSETTS,
AT THE THOMPSON ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL.
A man talking with a microphone says CADEN, CAN YOU COME UP AND HELP
ME WITH THE PLEDGE THIS MORNING?
CADEN, YOU'RE GONNA STAND
OVER HERE.
WE'LL HOLD THE FLAG TOGETHER
SO WE CAN DO THE PLEDGE, OKAY?
Jason says THEY'RE GONNA SAY THAT THEY'VE
GOT A SPECIAL GUEST.
The man talking with a microphone says CAN OUR SPECIAL GUEST COME IN?
Jason says THAT'S WHEN I'M GONNA WALK IN,
AND ALL THE EXCITEMENT'S
GONNA HAPPEN.
The man talking with a microphone says COME ON IN, SPECIAL GUEST.
Caden runs to hug Jason and says DADDY!
WHOO! DADDY!
(applause)
Now, Caden sits on a swing. He has short blond hair and wears a blue T-shirt.
Caden says WHEN MY DAD WALKED INTO
THE SCHOOL,
I FELT HAPPY AND I ALMOST
DROPPED THE FLAG.
Jason says WHAT WAS IT LIKE NOT SEEING DAD
FOR ALMOST A WHILE YEAR?
Caden says IT WAS KIND OF LONELY
WITHOUT YOU.
Jason says YEAH, I BET.
I MISSED YOU GUYS
QUITE A BIT
WHEN I WAS GONE.
Caden says NOW THAT MY DAD IS HOME,
ME AND MY FAMILY AND MY DAD
CAN PLAY TOGETHER.
WE'RE ALSO GONNA PLAY TAG.
AND MY DAD PLAYS VIDEOGAMES
WITH ME.
They sit on a sofa playing a videogame.
Caden says GONNA BEAT YOU, DADDY.
Jason says MILITARY FAMILIES MAKE A HUGE
SACRIFICE FOR OUR COUNTRY.
Caden says HE'S HELPING OUR COUNTRY
AND HELP KEEPING US SAFE.
Jason says FIVE PLUS TWO?
Caden says WHEN MY DAD IS HERE,
I'M HAPPY.
Kids say AND NOW, BACK TO
ARTHUR!
Muffy, Sue Ellen and Francine sit on Brain’s shop. Muffy holds a tablet.
Muffy says FEAST YOUR EYES ON MY NEW
YOUWHOTUBE CHANNEL,
MUFFY'S WORLD!
Sue Ellen says WOW, YOU MADE THAT
YOURSELF?
Muffy says YUP, IT WAS EASY.
Francine says BECAUSE YOU HAD BAILEY
DO IT FOR YOU?
Muffy says NO!
I CAN DO SOME THINGS
ON MY OWN, YOU KNOW.
I DREW A SKETCH OF IT,
AND PAID BRAIN TO MAKE IT.
Sue Ellen says WHAT'S "MY DAY"?
Muddy says MY VIDEO DIARY.
I WAS JUST GOING TO GIVE
MY ADORING FANS
A TOUR OF MY FAVOURITE PLACES.
WANT TO COME?
Sue Ellen nods and Francine shrugs.
Muffy films herself and her friends.
Muffy says HI, FANS!
HERE'S WHERE MY SQUAD AND I
LOVE TO GET A SNACK,
THE SUGAR BOWL!
Francine says YOUR SQUAD?
Muffy says THEN, WE CHILL AT THE BRAIN'S
ICE CREAM SHOP.
GET IT? "CHILL," ICE CREAM?
Sue Ellen waves at the tablet and Francine says UGH, MAKE IT STOP!
Filming, Muffy says AND NOW, WE'RE GOING TO
THE MOST SACRED OF PLACES.
THE MALL!
Sue-Ellen says HEY, WAIT, AREN'T YOU GOING
TO SHOW THEM THE LIBRARY?
Muffy says EH, OKAY.
Sue Ellen says THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES
IN ALL OF ELWOOD CITY.
IT'S GOT EVERY BOOK YOU COULD
POSSIBLY WANT, AND IT'S...
She turns and says CLOSING?
A sign reads "Book sale due to the possible closing of the Elwood City Public Library."
Sue Ellen says NO!
A green diamond slate appears. It reads "Sue Ellen and the last page."
A caption under it reads "written by Belinda Arredondo-Storyboard by Dev Ramsaran and Allan Jeffery."
Miss Turner saves books in a cardboard box. She wears glasses and a purple dress.
Miss Turner says IT'S NOT 100 percent DEFINITE YET,
BUT UNLESS THE CITY COUNCIL
CHANGES ITS MIND,
WE'LL LOSE OUR FUNDING.
Francine says BUT WHY?
Miss Turner says WE HAVEN'T HAD AS MANY PATRONS
TAKING OUT BOOKS.
PEOPLE SEEM TO BE DOING MORE
AND MORE READING ONLINE.
Muffy says THAT'S TRUE!
I HAVE THE ENTIRE
HENRY SKREEVER
SERIES ON THIS,
AND NEWSPAPERS, AND ALL MY
MAGAZINES, AND...
Sue Ellen gestures Muffy to stop talking.
Muffy says OH!
BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME AS
A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED BOOK!
OW! A PAPERCUT.
Sue Ellen says BUT THE LIBRARY IS MORE
THAN JUST A PLACE TO READ.
IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT MAKES ELWOOD CITY...
ELWOOD CITY!
Miss Turner says I FEEL THE SAME WAY.
Sue Ellen says ISN'T THERE SOMETHING
WE CAN DO?
Miss Turner says THE COUNCIL IS HOLDING A MEETING
ABOUT IT THIS FRIDAY.
ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC
IS WELCOME TO SPEAK.
Sue Ellen says OH, I'LL SPEAK, ALL RIGHT!
WE'RE NOT GOING DOWN
WITHOUT A FIGHT!
Sue Ellen imagines being a flying super hero that stops a crane from tearing apart the library.y
Sue Ellen says NOT SO FAST!
HI-YA!
(crashing)
Cat Saver says NICE WORK, LIBRARY SAVER!
Sue Ellen says THANKS, CAT SAVER!
BY THE POWER VESTED IN ME
BY THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS,
I DECLARE THIS LIBRARY
OPEN FOREVER!
(crowd cheering)
Now, the kids have lunch at the cafeteria.
Arthur says I CAN'T IMAGINE ELWOOD CITY
WITHOUT A LIBRARY.
Muffy says LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.
THEY COULD REPLACE IT
WITH SOMETHING REALLY USEFUL,
LIKE A NEW BOUTIQUE!
Sue Ellen says GUYS, THE LIBRARY ISN'T
GOING ANYWHERE.
WE'RE GOING TO SAVE IT!
Arthur says HOW?
Sue Ellen says WE HAVE TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE
AS WE CAN TO COME TO
THAT MEETING ON FRIDAY.
I'LL MAKE UP SOME FLYERS.
(bicycle bell ringing)
Sue Ellen and Miss Turner hand flyers that read "Save the library!" to people on the street. Buster and Arthur distribute them by bicycle. Brain hands one to a customer.
At the meeting, Sue Ellen says WHERE IS EVERYONE?
I MUST HAVE GIVEN OUT
HUNDREDS OF FLYERS!
Muffy says IT'S A FRIDAY.
SENSIBLE PEOPLE,
LIKE MY FANS,
ARE OUT HAVING FUN.
A male member of the board says ORDINANCE 22A,
TO CLOSE THE ELWOOD CITY
LIBRARY.
A female member of the board says WE WILL NOW OPEN
THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION.
ANYONE?
Buster raises his hand and stands up.
He says OH!
IF WE CLOSE THE LIBRARY,
HOW WILL ALIEN CIVILIZATIONS
KNOW THAT WE WERE
AN ADVANCED SOCIETY?
NOT JUST A BUNCH OF HAIRY
ANIMALS
GLUED TO THEIR CELL PHONES?
THANK YOU.
He turns to Arthur and whispers PRETTY GOOD, HUH?
Arthur covers his eyes.
The female member of the board says ANYONE ELSE?
Sue Ellen says I'D LIKE TO SAY
SOMETHING.
She stands up and reads MY NAME IS SUE ELLEN ARMSTRONG.
I CAME TO ELWOOD CITY
A YEAR AGO,
AND NO PLACE MADE ME FEEL MORE
AT HOME THAN THE LIBRARY.
Muffy films Sue Ellen using her tablet.
(clock ticking)
After twenty minutes, Sue Ellen continues SO, FOR THE GOOD OF THIS CITY,
THIS COMMUNITY AND KIDS LIKE ME,
I STRONGLY URGE YOU
TO RECONSIDER.
THANK YOU.
(cheering, clapping)
Later, Francine, George and Buster talk by the lockers.
Francine says AND THEN, SHE SAID, "WE WILL NOT
STAND FOR THIS KIND OF TYRANNY!"
IT WAS AMAZING.
Buster says HEY, WE WERE JUST TELLING GEORGE
ABOUT YOUR SPEECH.
Sue Ellen says OH, IT WAS NOTHING.
IT'S NOT ABOUT ME,
IT'S ABOUT THE CAUSE.
Francine says I THINK YOU MEAN...
IT WAS ABOUT THE CAUSE.
Francine hands Sue Ellen a newspaper.
Sue Ellen reads "CITY COUNCIL VOTES
TO CLOSE LIBRARY"?
WHAT?
BUT I WORKED SO HARD
ON THAT SPEECH!
Francine says YOUR SPEECH WAS GREAT.
THERE JUST WASN'T ENOUGH SUPPORT
TO KEEP IT OPEN.
Muffy says CONGRATULATIONS!
Sue Ellen says WHAT?
Muffy shows Sue Ellen her tablet and says YOUR SPEECH GOT OVER 600 HITS
ON
MUFFY'S WORLD.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO NEXT?
HOW ABOUT SAVE THE KITTENS?
Sue Ellen says HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?
IT DIDN'T WORK.
THE LIBRARY'S CLOSING.
I KNOW YOU DON'T CARE,
BUT I DO!
Later, Sue Ellen and Miss Turner put books in boxes.
Sue Ellen says IF THERE HAD BEEN MORE PEOPLE
AT THAT MEETING,
I BET THE VOTE WOULD HAVE
BEEN DIFFERENT.
Miss Turner says MAYBE.
I DO WISH MORE PEOPLE
HAD SHOWN UP.
Sue Ellen finds a book that reads "The Gourmet Ghost." She opens it and reads the lending list on the back cover.
She sighs and says THERE I AM.
Muffy says MY NAME'S IN THERE
TOO, YOU KNOW.
I TOOK OUT ALL THE SCARE YOUR
PANTS OFF BOOKS FROM HERE.
IN FACT, I WAS THE FIRST PERSON
IN OUR CLASS
TO GET A LIBRARY CARD.
Sue Ellen says REALLY?
Muffy says UH-HUH.
I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED
WHEN I LEARNED YOU COULDN'T BUY
ANYTHING WITH IT,
BUT I WAS STILL GLAD
TO HAVE IT.
THIS PLACE DOES MATTER TO ME.
I HAVE AN IDEA!
HERE'S THE VIDEO OF YOUR SPEECH.
IT NOW HAS 742 HITS.
Muffy shows a clip on her tablet.
In a remix, Sue Ellen says WE WILL NOT STAND, STAND,
STAND...
THIS TYRANNY, TYRANNY,
TYRANNY...
STRONGLY URGE YOU CHILDREN,
CHILDREN, CHILDREN...
SO HUNGRY FOR KNOWLEDGE,
KNOWLEDGE, KNOWLEDGE
TO RECONSIDER.
Sue Ellen says WHAT DID YOU DO TO IT?
Muffy says JUST SPICED IT UP A LITTLE,
BUT LOOK AT THE COMMENTS!
POLLY821 SAYS,
"KEEP THAT LIBRARY OPEN.
HOW CAN I HELP?
Sue Ellen reads JAMAL22 SAYS, "YOU GO, GIRL.
I WOULD GIVE MONEY TO THIS."
WOW.
Muffy says THERE ARE TONS MORE LIKE THAT.
WE COULD MAKE ANOTHER VIDEO
AND ASK FOR DONATIONS!
Sue Ellen says YOU THINK WE'D BE ABLE TO RAISE
ENOUGH TO KEEP THE LIBRARY OPEN?
Miss Turner says WE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE
TO DO THAT.
IF WE RAISED A LITTLE BIT
FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE,
IT WOULD SHOW THE COUNCIL
HOW MUCH PEOPLE CARED.
THEY JUST MIGHT REVERSE
THEIR DECISION.
Sue Ellen records a video.
She says SUE ELLEN ARMSTRONG HERE,
AKA, THE LIBRARY SAVER!
GUEST REPORTING
FOR
MUFFY'S WORLD.
TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT
WHY PEOPLE FROM ELWOOD CITY
LOVE THEIR LIBRARY.
FIRST UP, ARTHUR READ.
Arthur sits on a sofa in his living room.
Sue Ellen interviews him and says IS IT TRUE THAT YOUR LAST NAME
IS "READ."
BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
LIKE READING SO MUCH?
Arthur says UM, I THINK THAT'S JUST
A COINCIDENCE.
Sue Ellen says OH, OKAY, MOVING ON.
SO, WHY DO YOU LOVE
OUR LIBRARY?
Arthur says MAINLY BECAUSE OF MISS TURNER.
SHE KNOWS JUST WHAT I LIKE
TO READ,
AND ALWAYS RECOMMENDS
GREAT BOOKS.
DW whispers something to Arthur.
Arthur says OH, AND STORY TIME
AT THE LIBRARY IS GREAT, TOO!
Sue Ellen continues interviewing her friends.
Ladonna says I LOVE THE LIBRARY BOOK CLUB.
I MET SO MANY NEW, INTERESTING
PEOPLE THERE!
George says I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER,
SO I USE THE LIBRARY'S.
Brain says THE BEST THING ABOUT
THE LIBRARY?
Francine says I GUESS THE LECTURE SERIES.
IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO HAVE
A MEETING.
Muffy says TO DO RESEARCH!
Buster says TO NAP!
Granma says WHAT DO I LOVE ABOUT
THE LIBRARY?
ZUMBA LESSONS!
Talking to the screen, Sue Ellen says SHOW YOUR SUPPORT OF LIBRARIES
BY DONATING TO OUR
SAVE THE ELWOOD CITY
LIBRARY CAMPAIGN!
Muffy says SPREAD THE WORD!
DON'T FORGET TO USE THE HASHTAG,
LOVEALIBRARY.
(Muffy's voice echoing)
Then, Muffy and Sue Ellen watch the finished video.
Muffy says CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE USE
THE LIBRARY
FOR SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
IT'S LIKE A MALL, WITH BOOKS!
Sue Ellen says I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU PUT LASERS
COMING OUT OF MY EYES AGAIN.
Muffy says I WAS VERY RESTRAINED.
I WAS GOING TO HAVE YOU
RIDE OFF ON A BABY PANDA.
Sue Ellen says NOW WHAT?
Muffy says WE WAIT TO SEE IF PEOPLE
WILL ACTUALLY GIVE MONEY.
Sue Ellen says NOTHING YET.
Muffy says SUE ELLEN, WE JUST
UPLOADED IT!
IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN
A MINUTE.
Sue Ellen says YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE HAVE TO RELAX.
Muffy grabs the mouse and says OH, GIVE ME THAT!
(clicking)
The computer screen shows 0 dollars.
Then, the girls walk into the library.
Sue Ellen says HELLO?
I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL HER
HOW MUCH WE RAISED!
Muffy says WE SHOULD REALLY GO
INTO BUSINESS.
CHARITY WORK IS FUN!
BUT IT'D BE SO MUCH MORE FUN
IF WE GOT PAID!
Muffy takes a picture out of a cardboard box. It shows her parents dancing when they were young.
Muffy says HMM, WHAT'S A PICTURE OF MY MOM
AND DAD DOING HERE?
Sue Ellen reads the back of the picture and says "THE SHAKE AND SHOUT DANCE."
THERE USED TO BE DANCES
IN THE LIBRARY?
Miss Turner says YEP, AND THERE COULD BE AGAIN.
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE
WITH THE CITY COUNCIL.
THE LIBRARY STAYS OPEN!
Muffy screams YES! WHOO-HOO!
The girls high-five.
Miss Turner says OF COURSE, THEY'RE NOT GIVING US
AS MUCH MONEY AS USUAL.
WE'LL HAVE TO CUT MORE PROGRAMS,
AND THERE ARE NO FUNDS
FOR NEW COMPUTERS.
Sue Ellen says WAIT, WOULD THIS HELP?
THIS IS HOW MUCH WE'VE RAISED!
She shows Miss Turner the tablet.
Miss Turner says THAT'S AMAZING,
BUT I'M AFRAID WE NEED
A BIT MORE.
Muffy says I JUST MIGHT KNOW SOMEONE
WHO COULD HELP.
Ed talks in front of a group of people in a large room full of computers.
Ed says WELCOME, EVERYONE!
IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE
TO ANNOUNCE THE OPENING
OF THE NEW CROSSWIRE MOTORS
COMPUTER OASIS.
IN HONOUR OF THIS FINE
INSTITUTION
WHICH HAS GIVEN
THE COMMUNITY SO MUCH,
AND WAS THE PLACE WHERE I MET
MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE.
Ed kisses his wife and then, they cut an opening ribbon.
(cheering, clapping)
Ed says MUSIC, PLEASE!
(disco music playing)
Muffy says I GUESS I OWE THIS LIBRARY
A LOT MORE THAN I THOUGHT I DID.
Sue Ellen says WE ALL DO!
The kids and adults dance and have fun.
The end credits roll as the theme song plays.
