01:11They've sure been under there a long time.
01:13I don't like it.
01:15I'm worried.
01:17And I'm very concerned.
01:19Well, I'm not.
01:21The Fris want to let anything happen to the magic school bus
01:23It's the magic school bus, ever.
01:25She might not have a choice, Wanda.
01:28A VMI is a very powerful person.
01:31A very powerful person?
01:34I thought a VMI was a vehicle maintenance inspector.
01:37It is, Ralphie.
01:39But Carlos just called Junket a very powerful person.
01:42He's both, Ralphie, a VMI and a VPP.
01:48Well, Mr. Junket,
01:50a bus for all seasons, don't you think?
01:54It's missing a spring or two and it's ready to fall apart,
01:56if that's what you mean.
01:58Look at this.
01:59There's acid all over the paint,
02:01the fenders are dented,
02:02and the roof looks like it got hit by a meteorite.
02:05Oh, I know. Isn't that wonderful?
02:09This engine doesn't look any better.
02:11Looks can be so deceiving, can't they?
02:13That engine runs like a dream.
02:17Well, I don't know how,
02:19your spark plugs are shot.
02:21It's a miracle this bus even starts.
02:23It ought to be condemned.
02:26Oh, to the contrary, Mr. Junket.
02:28My bus is reliable, responsible, and dependable.
02:32Well, now it's expendable.
02:37And therefore, I'm recommending
02:39that your bus be sent to the junkyard.
02:44Oh, no. Junket wants to junket.
02:47He can't do that. Not our bus.
02:50I realize our bus may not look its best right now,
02:54but I assure you there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
02:57Why, there's even something magical about it.
03:01Magical? Really, Miss Frizzle?
03:04I don't recall anything in the safety manual about magic.
03:08I have a suggestion.
03:10Why don't you take a test drive with me and the kids?
03:13Let me prove to you that from engine to exhaust,
03:16my bus is as fit as any bus in the fleet.
03:19Ah, sorry.
03:21I have to get back to the office
03:23and accept my award for Vehicle Maintenance Inspector of the Year.
03:27I heard all about it. Congratulations.
03:30And by the way, I voted for you.
03:33You did? How nice.
03:35Well, I suppose we could take a short drive.
03:38Class, time to take chances, get messy,
03:41and take Mr. Junket for a ride.
03:45To the bus!
03:50What if the bus doesn't pass the test?
03:53What if the engine stalls?
03:55I'm uncomfortable, Mr. Junket.
03:57You must be joking.
03:59The seats are saggy and the springs have sprung.
04:03Ah, just feel the power.
04:06It's almost as if we were flying up this hill, don't you think?
04:20I've had smoother rides on a roller coaster.
04:24I don't know how I'm going to get back to the office.
04:28I've had smoother rides on a roller coaster.
04:31I don't know how I let you talk me into this.
04:34The junk heap is too good for this bus.
04:38I wish Mr. Junket wouldn't talk about our bus that way.
04:42Maybe if we told him how much we love it, he'd change his mind.
04:46I doubt it, Phoebe.
04:48Junket's going to scrap our bus unless we do something to stop him.
04:51Chill out, you guys.
04:53If I know Miss Frizzle, she's got a plan.
04:59Then again, maybe she doesn't.
05:03Oh, dear, what can the matter be?
05:06I knew it! I knew I shouldn't have listened to you.
05:09I knew I shouldn't have taken this test drive.
05:12Now I'm going to miss my award!
05:16Here's your cat, Mr. Junket.
05:18I just can't seem to find the problem.
05:21The engine just stopped working.
05:23That's it! I've had it!
05:29This bus is condemned!
05:31The first phone I see, I'm calling a tow truck!
05:33This bus is history!
05:35I'll be back!
05:37Don't you just love it when things like this happen?
05:41It adds such spark to the day.
05:45What are we going to do? He's going to take our bus away.
05:48Not if we can start it before he gets back.
05:54Hurry, Miss Frizzle, hurry!
05:58That's some nice noise, bus.
06:00But is it the right noise?
06:02Maybe Mr. Junket was right.
06:04Maybe our bus is busted.
06:06No way, Tim. We can't let our bus down.
06:09We've got to get it started.
06:11But how can we get it working if we don't even know how it works?
06:15I know how it works.
06:17Sort of. I mean, an engine makes the bus run, right?
06:21And for the engine to run, it has to burn gas, right?
06:25Now that's certainly fuel for thought.
06:28But we put gas in before we left.
06:31Yes, but the gas tank's all the way in the back.
06:34And the engine's all the way up here.
06:37I knew that.
06:39Then maybe...
06:41the gas isn't getting from back here to all the way up here for some reason.
06:46If we could just follow the gas to the engine, we could find out the problem.
06:51How can we possibly do that?
06:54All set, Keisha.
06:56Yep.
06:57Heads up!
07:07What, I even ask? This is a field trip, isn't it?
07:10Look at it this way, Arnold.
07:12If we don't fix the bus now, there may never be another field trip.
07:16Let's go! We've got a bus to save!
07:19Hit it, Liz!
07:22Whoo-hoo!
07:24What's going on?
07:26Where are we going?
07:28Whoa!
07:32I know that smell. It's gasoline!
07:36I hate that smell.
07:38Get used to it, Arnold. We're inside the bus's gas tank.
07:42Okay, so the question is,
07:44how does the gas get from all the way back here to all the way up in the engine?
07:48That way. The gas is going into some kind of tunnel or pipe.
07:53As Christopher Columbus said when he set sail to look for America...
08:00All aboard for parts unknown!
08:04Whoo-hoo!
08:06Arr, men the oars, me hearties!
08:09Full speed ahead!
08:12Stroke, stroke, stroke!
08:18Faster, faster!
08:21The sooner that bus is out of my life, the better!
08:36Frizz to Liz! Frizz to Liz!
08:39Come in, please.
08:42We're moving out of the fuel tank and into the fuel line.
08:46Stand by, ready, set, go!
08:50It's a tight squeeze in here.
08:52I guess gas doesn't need a lot of room to get to the engine.
08:56Look up ahead. The gas seems to be trying to get through,
09:00but it's blocked by something.
09:03Is it just me, or is that peanut butter I smell?
09:08It is peanut butter!
09:10Maybe this is what's stopping the gas from getting through to the engine.
09:14And without gas, the engine won't run.
09:17That's it!
09:19Make way for the gas!
09:22But what's peanut butter doing inside the fuel line?
09:26Good question.
09:29Junk it!
09:31We're almost there! Step on it!
09:35We're almost there! Step on it!
09:37I'm getting an award today, did I tell you?
09:40Twice!
09:42Oh.
09:44Life's clear, Ms. Frizzle!
09:47The gas is flowing again.
09:49Then the engine should start. Right, Ms. Frizzle?
09:52Oh, we'll soon find out. Seats, everyone!
09:56Turn the key, Liz!
10:05Whoa!
10:24Where are we?
10:26Are we inside the engine, Ms. Frizzle?
10:29Technically, no.
10:31We've just been pumped into the carburetor.
10:34Oh, my favorite place.
10:36Keep pumping, Liz!
10:41I don't get it. We got the gas flowing.
10:44How come the engine won't start?
10:46Maybe it needs more than just gas.
10:49Maybe it's too chilly in here for the gas to work.
10:53Yeah, I feel a draft, too.
10:56It's coming from that opening up there.
10:58Right you are, Tim.
11:00Of course.
11:02Don't you remember what we learned in fire safety?
11:05You need air for things to burn.
11:07And since a running engine burns gas...
11:10The engine needs gas and air to run.
11:14Well, we're not getting that much air.
11:16That's because something's covering the opening.
11:19Hmm. A peanut butter sandwich!
11:23Junkets!
11:27You ever win an award?
11:29Just get that bus, okay?
11:32Yeah, sure.
11:39How come I have to be on the bottom?
11:42The glass stack-up was my idea.
11:47It's really stuck.
11:50Wait. I think I'm getting it.
11:53Almost.
11:55Got it!
11:57Look out!
12:01What is that?
12:03Oh, no!
12:05A tow truck!
12:07There's a tow truck out here!
12:10They're going to tow us away!
12:12Hold on, Arnold!
12:14Now that we have gas and air,
12:16maybe the engine will work.
12:18Start it up, Liz!
12:20Liz!
12:23Oh, come on, Liz!
12:25Don't quit on us now!
12:27Champions thrive on adversity!
12:29Heroes are born at times like these!
12:32Turn the key, Liz!
12:37Is that awful hunk of junk trying to start?
12:41I thought everyone had gone for help.
12:45Woo-hoo-hoo!
12:47Whoa!
12:49There's lots of air now!
12:52Okay, so here's where the gas and air mix together.
12:56So where does it go next?
12:59Now I know what a tossed salad feels like!
13:02Come on! Put the pedal to the metal, Liz!
13:14Yeah!
13:25Where are we now?
13:27I think we're trapped!
13:29Something's wrong. Liz stopped turning the key.
13:32Where did everybody go?
13:39Anybody home?
13:42I thought for sure I heard this mechanical mistake
13:45for a motor trying to turn over.
13:47I must be working too hard.
13:49All right, let's get out of here!
13:55I knew I should have stayed home today.
14:01Hey! Wait for me!
14:04Come back here!
14:06I have a new motor to pick up!
14:12Whoa, whoa, whoa!
14:15I had such a good speech to give.
14:18Now I'll never get to get me!
14:22Help!
14:25Help!
14:41Hey, guys!
14:43I don't know if you can hear me down there,
14:46but we're being towed away!
14:48Oh, bad! Oh, bad! Oh, bad, bad, bad!
14:51Where's Liz?
14:53I don't know!
15:03Wheeze to Liz!
15:05We're in the cylinder!
15:10Liz, try the key again.
15:23Oh, boy! We're in real trouble now!
15:35It's all yours, Mike!
15:37The VMI said to crush it!
15:44What happened now?
15:46What was that?
15:48This is Arnold! We're in the junkyard!
15:51What are we gonna do? What are we gonna do?
15:54I wish I knew! I wish I knew!
16:02No! Stop!
16:05Let us go!
16:13Arnold, what's going on up there?
16:16If we don't get out of here now, we're gonna be smashed!
16:20We hear you, Arnold. Liz, come in, Liz.
16:25I know this is difficult for you,
16:28but you have got to turn the key!
16:36We're moving! Yay, Liz!
16:40Hey, we're going down like an elevator!
16:44That smells like... I think I smell gas!
16:48Yeah! Now the gas is following us!
16:52Not to worry, class.
16:54When it comes to pistons, what goes down must go up!
16:59Maybe now the engine's gonna start!
17:02It should, Ralphie.
17:04This heart-warming chamber is where all three ingredients we need
17:08to get the engine started come together.
17:11Gas! Air! And what else?
17:16Look out! We're gonna get crushed!
17:23What happened?
17:25Nothing happened. The engine still won't start!
17:29At least we didn't get crushed!
17:34Stop! You're going to crush us! Go away!
17:38Don't drop that! You'll be sorry!
17:43I don't get it, Ms. Frizzle.
17:45We had gas, we had air, and the bus still didn't run!
17:49Maybe the engine's burned out!
17:51That's it! That's what's missing! The engine burns gas!
17:55Remember, we need to find a way to get it to burn!
17:59According to my research, you have to be very careful around gasoline
18:03because it burns so easily!
18:05That's right, D.A.!
18:07In fact, a big fire can start with just a little spark!
18:12Gas, air, and a spark! That's the three ingredients!
18:18Did you say spark? Like a spark plug? Like that thing up there?
18:25What an explosive discovery, Carlos!
18:29But I don't see any sparks!
18:32No wonder! More peanut butter!
18:37Oh no! We're going down again!
18:40I'll get the peanut butter!
18:44Oh no! There's more gas and air coming in!
18:47Hang in there, Carlos!
18:52Way to go, Carlos!
18:54You cleaned off the spark plug!
18:57It's a sticky job, but someone's got to do it!
19:00Hey, look at all that gas and air coming in!
19:03Oh yeah! The engine should fire up now!
19:06Get ready to blow this joint!
19:09Wait a minute! Just how big is this fire going to be?
19:26As we travel with the burned gases, let's enjoy the enchanting exhaust pipe,
19:31a tunnel of exotic fumes, and dark surprises
19:35that will take us into the metallic maze known as the muffler.
19:49We did it, Ms. Frizzle! We got the engine running again!
19:54Not a second too soon!
19:56We've got to get the bus out of here!
19:58Quick, Liz! The mesmer dropper should work now!
20:17I don't think I'm going to like this!
20:20Oh no!
20:34Way to go! We saved the bus!
20:37We got gas to mix with air!
20:39Added a spark and kaboom!
20:41We've got the engine running again!
20:43Liz, that was fantastic!
20:51Hold it! Where's Arnold?
20:53There he is! On the carburetor!
21:02He's on his way to the cylinder!
21:07Now he's about to go through the exhaust system!
21:13Arnold, are you alright?
21:15I'm fine, Ms. Frizzle.
21:17Anyone want a peanut butter sandwich?
21:20Arnold!
21:22Speaking of peanut butter, where's Mr. Junket?
21:28We'll be right with you, Mr. Junket!
21:31You hang on now, Mr. Junket!
21:34Here he comes!
21:36But Ms. Frizzle, we can't let Mr. Junket know the bus is magic!
21:40He can't know what he can't see, can he?
21:44Cover me.
21:46You okay, Mr. Junket?
21:48You must have been scared.
21:50Let me fix your cat.
21:52Oh, let me brush you off.
21:54Okay, bus. Here we go.
22:00Excuse me! Excuse me!
22:03That's strange.
22:05I thought for a second that that bus was a tow truck.
22:10Hop in, Mr. Junket. There's still time to get your reward.
22:15Looks like I owe you and your class an apology, Ms. Frizzle.
22:19As my great Aunt Janine used to say,
22:21a good engine is worth the price of ignition.
22:26Huh?
22:41Is this the magic school bus?
22:43Is this the magic school bus?
22:45Magic school bus.
22:47What do you mean? Magic school bus?
22:49Magic school bus?
22:51I want to get on the magic school bus!
22:54It's not on the Magic School Bus!
23:02Magic School Bus, the producer speaking.
23:05Hi, I just watched a show on engines. It was a real blast.
23:09Only one question.
23:11Do you really expect us to believe that Miss Frizzle and her class
23:14could stay alive inside a real engine when it's running?
23:17It's more than 3,000 degrees in there.
23:19We know that. It was just our way of showing you
23:22how an engine works up close and personal. Thanks for calling.
23:28Magic School Bus.
23:29Is this the producer?
23:31At your service. What can I do for you?
23:33About your engine show, peanut butter is a pretty silly way
23:36to stop an engine from working.
23:40Silly maybe, but it sure would gum up the works.
23:43Then why didn't they use gum?
23:45Thanks for calling.
23:46Hmm, why didn't I think of that?
23:50Magic School Bus.
23:51Glad you're still there.
23:53My dad's a vehicle maintenance inspector, and he told me
23:57gasoline is extremely dangerous.
23:59Neither kids nor adults should ever play with it.
24:02You're right, and Dorothy Ann told the kids that
24:05when they were inside the cylinder.
24:07Oh yeah, I forgot.
24:10That's okay, you can't be told that often enough.
24:13Hold on a sec.
24:15Careful with that gasoline, Liz!
24:21Any other questions?
24:22Well, aren't there a lot more pieces to an engine
24:25than you mention in your show?
24:27Oh, a lot. Like the radiator to keep the engine
24:30from getting too hot, and the battery that makes
24:33the spark plug spark.
24:35But we can only show so many in a 30-minute program.
24:39Would you mind calling back?
24:42Liz! Hey, Liz!
24:44Turn that thing off! I can't hear!
24:51I can't hear!
25:01Magic School Bus.
25:04Producer speaking.
25:22I'm on the Magic School Bus.
25:26I'm on the Magic School Bus.
25:30I'm on the Magic School Bus.
25:32Such a fine band.
25:34So strap your boys right to the seat.
25:37Come on in and don't be shy.
25:39Just to make your day complete.
25:41You might get baked into a pie.
25:43I'm on the Magic School Bus.
25:45Step inside, it's a wild ride.
25:48Come on, ride on the Magic School Bus.
