00:00Every day when you're walking down the street
00:18Everybody that you meet
00:20Has an original point of view
00:23And I say
00:25What a wonderful kind of day
00:29If you can learn to work and play
00:31And get along with each other
00:34You got to listen to your heart
00:37Listen to the beat
00:38Listen to the rhythm
00:39Rhythm of the street
00:41Open up your eyes
00:42Open up your ears
00:43Get together and make things better
00:45By working together
00:47It's a simple message
00:49And it comes from the heart
00:51Oh, believe in yourself
00:54For that's the place to start
00:56Start and I say
00:58Hey, hey
00:59What a wonderful kind of day
01:01To learn to work and play
01:04And get along with each other
01:06Hey
01:07What a wonderful kind of day
01:09Hey
01:10What a wonderful kind of day
01:12Hey
01:12Hey, T.W.
01:15Hey
01:16I always thought about having a puppy
01:28But I never thought of what I'd name him
01:32A name has to be just right
01:35Because it can affect the way he thinks about himself
01:38And how he'll grow up
01:40Maybe champion
01:42Or maybe bionic puppy
01:49I could name him Buster
01:54No, and I sure wouldn't name him Francine
01:59And definitely not Binky
02:04None of those names work
02:08He's just going to be my pal
02:11Wait, come back
02:19What are you doing?
02:25Writing his name on his dish
02:27Are you teaching him to read?
02:33P-A-L?
02:35You're naming him Pal?
02:36Do you have a better name?
02:38How about Frederick?
02:40Frederick?
02:41He looks like a Frederick
02:43His name is Pal
02:45He already knows it
02:46Watch
02:47Come here, Pal
02:49See?
02:55He's not very smart, is he?
02:57Are you kidding?
02:59He's a genius
03:00He hides it very well
03:02Just wait till he's trained
03:04I'll be in college by then
03:11Will not
03:12You want to bet a million dollars?
03:16Arthur
03:16My rug
03:18Uh-oh
03:20Pal?
03:21Pal?
03:25You want to bet 12 million dollars?
03:30Hi, Arthur
03:31So that's your new dog?
03:35Yeah, his name is Pal
03:37He looks more like a Steve
03:39Steve?
03:43Does he do anything besides that?
03:45Not yet
03:46But I'm going to teach him to flip through the air
03:48And catch frisbees upside down
03:50But right now
03:51I'm just house training him
03:52Well
03:53You better train him quick
03:55Because my cousin had a dog
03:56That they couldn't train
03:57And her parents made the dog
03:59Go live on a farm
04:00Really?
04:05Hey
04:05Pal, sit
04:12No, sit
04:14No, sit
04:14Sit
04:16Stay
04:18Yep
04:21That's one smart dog
04:23Where's he going in such a hurry?
04:25To do your homework?
04:27He's just excited to be home
04:29Arthur?
04:31Yeah
04:32He just got excitement all over the living room rug
04:36You were right
04:41Frederick is a bad name
04:43You should call him Puddles
04:46Everybody, wait till you see this
04:50He learned all this in only two hours
04:53Pal, speak
04:55Good boy
04:57Pal, sit
05:00He did it a minute ago
05:03Pal, sit
05:05Okay, skip that one
05:08Pal, come
05:10Well, he learned one
05:12Pal, speak
05:14Come on, boy
05:21This is your bed
05:25Don't you like it?
05:32What's wrong, boy?
05:34Are you scared?
05:35Are you talking him in for the night, Arthur?
05:51Does he have to stay in the garage, Dad?
05:54He's scared
05:55Let him stay in the house
05:56Please, please, please, please, please
05:59You're better trained than Pal
06:02Now you've learned to beg
06:04Boy, for a new dog, he sure doesn't smell new
06:09I hope these are enough
06:12Don't listen to her, Pal
06:14Dad, let's go
06:22Yes
06:23Please don't hurt the carpet
06:25You heard what Francine said
06:28Pal, Pal, where are you?
06:34D.W., are you okay?
06:58Give me back my shoe.
07:02Give it back.
07:03Pau, let her have it.

14:46here goes number 73
14:50wait that one didn't count
14:51well now buster's gone crazy for dinosaurs
15:04wow arthur did you see that
15:07uh-huh amazing
15:10buster's especially excited because on wednesday our class is going on a field trip
15:15to rainbow rock state park where we will hunt for fossils of ancient animals including dinosaurs
15:34so
15:39everyone please file out in an orderly fashion triceratops
15:44so when i've discovered this new dinosaur what should i call it
15:57buscarosaurus busker dog hey where do we put the chisels
16:02got them how about the brushes got them what about the got them
16:12children if you could all quiet down
16:16quiet follow me
16:20this is ranger roof she's going to tell us a thing or two about fossils before we go out and explore for
16:26ourselves
16:27hi kids
16:32don't you look like a smart bunch of boys and girls
16:35can any of you tell me what a fossil is
16:41you with the ears it's the calcified remains of ancient organisms minerals seep into their tissue
16:48and harden preserving the forms of their bodies
16:51count on me to pick the class genius
16:54well for the rest of you boys and girls we have a little show
16:58lights
17:00buster that was awesome a hundred million years ago rainbow rock state park looked very different
17:08it was much hotter there were a lot of ferns and different insects and even dinosaurs
17:16the ferns and animals would die
17:34thank you now usually the bodies would rot away but very very rarely the hard parts of the bodies
17:43like shells and bones would last many years later this whole area was covered by the sea
17:50over millions of years the soil turned to rock and the bones and shells turned to rock too
17:56then the sea dried up and finally a hundred million years later the result is
18:02so who wants to go on a fossil hunt
18:17man i can't wait to get my hands on one of those fossils
18:22i like the models better i like to see what the dinosaurs really look like
18:26yeah but there's something about a fossil i mean it's the actual thing you know the actual bone of
18:33something that was alive millions of years ago listen up everyone
18:39you see the layers in this rock each layer was formed at a different time
18:44the ones on the bottom are from the beginning of the cretaceous period which was
18:48136 million years ago very good the top layers are from about 20 million years later so we can tell
18:58how old a fossil is by where it is in the cliff how are we supposed to get fossils out of a cliff when
19:04all we have are these little buckets oh you kids aren't hunting in the cliffs that's for real paleontologists
19:11you kids get to hunt in the stream in the stream all right the water's great hey look i found a fossil
19:23oh no wait it's a rock hey here's one
19:41my you boys certainly are diligent have you found any fossils no oh terribly sorry well we're going
19:51to break for a snack now and then it'll be time to head back to the bus see you up on shore well looks

20:52author this is a footprint all right let's all go around and talk about the fossils we found
21:02we managed to recover what seems to be a fossilized shell well all right it looks like a marginula
21:11wait you mean we don't get to keep them oh didn't i explain we put the fossils in the museum
21:18so other children can come and see them if people took them all home there'd be none left
21:23who's next we didn't really find any fossils we found some neat rocks
21:28i can't believe it i can't believe they would do that to me
21:34that's okay i'm sure you tried hard next
21:38uh we didn't find anything either what do you mean we
21:43well that's the way it goes sometimes it's okay we had fun anyway we're never gonna get away with this
21:53but buster it isn't ours it belongs in the museum we found it didn't we but what if they search
22:04us on the way out what if they have some special fossil detector alarm hey genius i wanted to make

23:32so why can i come over and see it we can't take it out it's too dangerous what if my mom came in
23:38what buster what's the point of having it if we can't even take a look at it ourselves
23:45i hope everyone enjoyed our field trip even if the fossils you found weren't as spectacular as
23:50actual dinosaur fossils
23:54but they are extremely rare it would have been truly miraculous if you had discovered
23:59any dinosaur bones or teeth or even rarer dinosaur footprints
24:08i'm sorry buster they made me tell they tickled me we have reason to believe you're hiding
24:27a dinosaur in this room but but that's ridiculous how could
