ALLOW MORE CONTROLLED
SALES OF STOCKPILED IVORY .
MR: The answer is really, I
guess, if you have no trade,
no trade anywhere,
domestic or international,
then there can be no confusion.
Rowan: Well, that's rubbish.
Having died, an elephant
is a very valuable animal.
You don't throw it away.
MR: This meeting at CITES is
marking the beginning of another
tipping point, if you like.
We've been here before,
it's Groundhog Day.
We have all the
alarm bells ringing,
and we have to do something.
AH: How long will you be?
How long...? He's got the
most annoying ringtone,
it's the most...
hello?
AIDAN IS MANEUVERING
FOR A BIGGER PURCHASE,
TO GAUGE HOW MUCH
IVORY IS AVAILABLE.
SUDDENLY, THE GAME CHANGES.
AH: Take us, take us
to the two places.
[Seller: Yes] You're saying
there are two places,
is that right?
Seller: Yeah.
You know what, the problem
is I'm very small for this
business, so why I'm here?
This business is very dangerous.
So I don't want later me to get
in problem, to get in trouble.
AH: What have you
got to show us,
how many kilos have
you got to show us now?
Seller: More than 100.
Like 2...
or 150.
AH: That's quite disappointing,
because you promised 300.
Seller: You know, that quantity
you cannot get for one time.
Just today 50, tomorrow 50, or
tomorrow 100, after tomorrow...
AH: You know what, all you've
done is give me excuses.
Seller: No, I'm serious!
AH: You make promises to me that
you're going to gather a big
quantity, and then you
just show me a few teeth.
AIDAN IS BAFFLED.
JUST TWO DAYS AGO THESE
SELLERS WERE KEEN TO DEAL.
NOW THEY APPEAR TO BE
CLEANED OUT OF MERCHANDISE.
AH: Okay, what's been happening
is we've been in these
negotiations with this ivory
trader who said that last week
the Chinese bought just about
everything that was available in
the city.
Even the stuff we were looking
at a few days ago has allegedly
already been sold
to the Chinese.
AIDAN CAN'T PROVE THAT THE IVORY
HAS BEEN SOLD TO CHINESE BUYERS.
ONLY THAT THE IVORY HE'D SEEN
THREE DAYS BEFORE IS GONE.
THOSE WHO CARVE IVORY
PRACTICE A GENTLE ART,
FAR FROM THE
CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD.
THE CHINESE PASSION FOR IVORY
COMES TO LIFE IN THE WORK OF
MASTER LEUNG LEE CHEONG .
BC: Mr. Leung, this
is extraordinary work.
How long have you
been carving ivory?
Mr. Leung: 58 years.
BC: So you started as a boy.
MASTER LEUNG SPENT 2
YEARS CARVING THIS PIECE.
IT IS VALUED AT OVER
A MILLION DOLLARS.
BC: When I see an older
master carver at work,
I can understand this is an art
form that is unique to China,
that they've developed
over thousands of years.
And the Chinese
Government is saying,
when you look at
a master carver,
this is what we
want to preserve.
But then we move to a factory.
BC: You walk through any of
the major Chinese factories,
and you see row upon row
of young people at work.
And you see in the largest
factory empty seats.
These aren't empty seats
because people have been fired.
These are empty seats because
people have not yet been hired.
The Chinese Government intends
to expand its ivory market.
It's for this world to
choose: is this craft,
or is this species
more valuable?
BC: The only realistic solution
is if the Chinese Government
says "no" to ivory.
AFTER SEVERAL DAYS
IN DAR ES SALAAM,
AIDAN HAS TERMINATED
HIS EFFORT TO BUY IVORY.
HE FEARS THAT CONTINUING
HIS APPROACH MIGHT PUT MORE
ELEPHANTS AT RISK .
WITH HARD EVIDENCE IN HAND, HE
RETURNS TO MINISTER KAGASHEKI.
AH: The other day we talked
about whether or not there is
ivory flooding the market
here in Dar Es Salaam.
Would you be shocked if you
heard that we ourselves have
already been offered ivory?
Can I show you a film?
(shows minister clip)
Minister: Well, honestly,
I must say I'm shocked.
It's a question of
our enforcement,
enforcement people...maybe
they are not doing enough.
But this is shocking,
quite frankly,
and I'm really surprised.
AH: It took us only a few hours
for a trader to approach us,
and it was no problem for them
to fill a consignment of up to
2000 kilograms of ivory, and
they would be able to find ways
of exporting it to the far east.
Minister: Then that underlines
the fact that of course there is
a big, big element
of corruption there,
because this is not something
that would just be done by the
traders and the Chinese alone.
AH: We have been told that
Tanzania has 90 metric tons of
ivory in its ivory room, and
that's what we're hoping to see.
AH: Why doesn't
Tanzania burn its ivory?
Why put a value on it, and
why do you want to sell it?
Minister: But why
should we burn it?
I think the money, for example,
that could be obtained from an
exercise of selling, genuinely,
we could do conservation,
and we could do of course the
preservation of these wild
animals.
LATER IN A GESTURE
OF TRANSPARENCY,
MINISTER KAGASHEKIGRANTS AIDAN
ACCESS TO THE IVORY ROOM.
NOW, AIDAN WILL GET A RARE
GLIMPSE OF LIKELY THE LARGEST
KNOWN CACHE OF RAW
IVORY IN THE WORLD .
TANZANIA WANTS TO SELL THE
CONTENTS OF THIS WAREHOUSE AND
HAS ASKED CITES FOR AN
EXCEPTION TO THE BAN .
AH: We're now standing
outside the ivory room.
I believe that there have never
been any pictures of this room,
certainly no film of this room,
so this is a historic moment.
AH: Push it open, it's like
going into some ancient tomb.
Can we go in?
Wow, there are piles
of tusks, on the floor,
stacked in shelves.
ACCUMULATED OVER
THE LAST 23 YEARS,
THIS STOCKPILE IS REPORTEDLY
VALUED AT OVER 50 MILLION
DOLLARS .
AH: This reminds me of some kind
of genocide memorial or some
solemn place that records what
could be the end of the elephant
in the wild.
AH: And the absolute shame of
what is going on can be seen in
this comparison.
These are the magnificent
creatures that used to roam
Africa, and the poachers are now
slaughtering animals that have
barely had any time to grow.
I think that tells an
unbelievably sad story.
AH: As one of the poorest
countries in the world,
Tanzania should try to get
some sort of compensation from
somewhere, if they
have a resource,
in order to be able to police
the parks and national reserves
against the poachers.
But if international donors came
and paid Tanzania money to burn
it, would you support that?
Aide: Definitely, yes, what I
need is just the money out of
that.
I would support that
idea very strongly.
ONE CONSEQUENCE OF THE IVORY
TRADEIS A GROWING NUMBER OF
ELEPHANT ORPHANS.
HERE AT THE DAVID SHELDRICK
WILDLIFE TRUST IN NAIROBI,
THEY ARE NURTURED AND
REHABILITATED FOR RETURN TO THE
WILD.
MAN: The baby quite close
to me is called Barsilinga.
Barsilinga's mother was shot
by poachers when he was only 2
weeks.
And this is because
of the ivory trade,
which is a big challenge for
the lives of these animals.
And at 2 weeks he could not have
survived if left in the wild.
When they are very
young, it's very sad,
because elephants are emotional
animals like humans and some of
them actually don't make it.
So we have to give a
24 hour care with them.
So that we can wipe away the
trauma they have experienced
after they had
lost their family,
and protect and care for them.
SOILA: Elephants have
very good memories,
and if humans do some damage,
like killing one of the members
of a family group, they'll never
forget even the location where
it happened.
Those elephants will remember
for the rest of their life.
AH: We shouldn't give up hope,
but it is a race against time,
because at the moment we're
losing elephant populations at
such a fast rate, that by the
time that the Chinese middle
classes wake up, and by the time
they stop buying all of this
stuff, it will be too late.
Bryan: One day I hope
to return to China,
and meet the same people I've
met during this investigation,
shake hands and say,
"We're proud of each other.
We made the right decision,
and the elephant is safe."

VAZ'S PLANE, CHARLEY?

WHEN ARE YOU GOING

YOU DON'T SUCCEED, FISH, FISH AGAIN!

YOU'RE TEACHINGYOURSELF HOW TO FISH.
NO. I JUST WANT TO GET
A HEAD-START ON THINGS
BEFORE CHARLEY GIVES ME
MY LESSON TOMORROW.
WHATEVER. BUT TOMORROW
MY DAD IS PUTTING UP
A ROPE SWING AT THE LAGOON.

WHY NOT?
WELL, CHARLEY HEARD
ABOUT THE ROPE SWING,
AND HE COULDN'T
WAIT TO TRY IT OUT.
EMILY ELIZABETH,
DO YOU THINK CHARLEY
IS EVER GONNA
TEACH YOU TO FISH?
OF COURSE!
CHARLEY ALWAYS DOES
WHAT HE SAYS
HE'S GOING TO DO.
I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE
OUR LESSON TOMORROW.
EMILY, JETTA,
COME AND PLAY!
[LAUGHTER AND TALKING]
WHOA! THERE'S
A TIDAL WAVE!
HA HA!

OOH! I CAN'T WAIT
FOR CHARLEY TO GET HERE!
WE'RE GONNA DO SOME
GREAT FISHING TODAY.
[SIGHS]
CHARLEY MUST HAVE
FORGOTTEN ABOUT US,
CLIFFORD.
[WHINES]
IT'S OK. WE'LL JUST
HAVE TO TEACH OURSELVES
HOW TO FISH.
WOOF!
[WINDING]
[POP]
OH!
[WHISTLING]
WOOF!
THANKS, CLIFFORD.
WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THINGS
BEFORE WE EVEN START.
NOW, LET'S SEE
WHAT MY FISHING BOOK SAYS TO DO NEXT.
THE FIRST STEP IS
TO BAIT YOUR HOOK
WITH SOMETHING
A FISH LOVES TO EAT.
I KNOW, CLIFFORD!
WHEN CHARLEY AND I WERE
AT THE POND LAST SUMMER,
THE FISH THERE
LOVED THE BREAD CRUMBS WE TOSSED THEM,
SO I'M SURE I'LL
CATCH ONE WITH THIS!
[SNIFFS]
WOOF WOOF!
[SLURPS] WOOF!
NOW, LET'S SEE.
A SKILLED FISHERMAN
MUST MASTER THE ART
OF CASTING THE LINE.
I THINK THAT MEANS
YOU HAVE TO GET THIS
OUT THERE.
[SPLASH]
I DID IT!
NOW WE JUST SIT BACK AND
WAIT FOR THE FISH TO BITE.
WHOO HOO!
[SPLASH]
WHOO HOO!
[SPLASH]
HA HA HA!
HA HA HA!
I KNEW YOU'D
BE HERE, CHARLEY!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
JETTA?
I TOLD EMILY ELIZABETH
YOU WERE NEVER GONNA
TEACH HER HOW TO FISH!
I AM TOO
GOING TO TEACH HER!
JUST NOT TODAY.
OR YESTERDAY
OR THE DAY BEFORE THAT.
WOW. I GUESS I KIND OF
LET EMILY DOWN, DIDN'T I?
I GUESS SO.
WELL, I'M GOING TO GO
AND FIX THAT RIGHT NOW.
HI, EMILY.
OH. HI, CHARLEY.
CATCH ANYTHING YET?
NO.
GOTTEN ANY NIBBLES?
NO.
EATEN ANY WORMS?
NO.
[SIGHS] EMILY,
I'M REALLY SORRY
I DIDN'T TEACH YOU
HOW TO FISH TODAY.
OR YESTERDAY OR
THE DAY BEFORE THAT.
YEAH. I DON'T LIKE IT
WHEN PEOPLE MAKE A PROMISE
AND THEN DON'T KEEP IT,
AND I BET YOU DON'T
LIKE IT MUCH, EITHER.
WELL, YOU DID KIND OF
HURT MY FEELINGS.
I'M SORRY,
BUT I'M HERE NOW.
WOULD YOU
LIKE SOME HELP?
OH--
[WHIRRING]
I SURE WOULD!
I THINK I JUST
GOT A BITE,
AND IT'S A BIG ONE!
WOW! IT SURE IS!
OK. TRY TO
HOLD IT STEADY.
[SNAP]
WHOA!
WHOA!
LOOK AT THAT!
WOW! HE REALLY
WAS A BIG ONE!
[SPLASHING]
YOU DON'T NEED ANY HELP,
EMILY ELIZABETH.
YOU ARE NOW
AN OFFICIAL FISHERMAN.
BUT I DIDN'T
CATCH ANYTHING.
NO, BUT EVERY FISHERMAN
HAS TO HAVE A STORY
ABOUT THE BIG ONE
THAT GOT AWAY!
HA HA HA!
HA HA HA!
WOOF WOOF
WOOF WOOF!
Emily Elizabeth:
CLIFFORD!
IT'S STORY TIME!
YOU WANT TO HEAR
A SPECKLE STORY,
DON'T YOU?
WOOF WOOF!
[LAUGHS] I THOUGHT SO.
HE'S YOUR FAVORITE.
TODAY'S STORY IS SPECKLE
AND THE WISHING STAR.
"ONE NIGHT, SPECKLE WAS
WALKING WITH HIS FRIENDS
"WHEN HE SAW SOMETHING
INCREDIBLE!
"A SHOOTING STAR
SHOT ACROSS THE SKY!
"THAT MEANT SPECKLE
GOT TO MAKE A WISH.
AND HE WONDERED
WHAT THAT WISH SHOULD BE."
"DARNELL THOUGHT
THAT SPECKLE SHOULD WISH FOR ICE CREAM--
"LOTS AND LOTS
AND LOTS OF ICE CREAM!
"LUNA SUGGESTED
SPECKLE WISH FOR A GIANT PLAYGROUND!
"AND RAVI SAID
HE SHOULD WISH
THAT IT WOULD BE
SUMMER ALL YEAR LONG."
"BUT LOOKING
AT HIS FRIENDS,
"SPECKLE SMILED AND
KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS GOING TO WISH FOR:
"THAT THEY WOULD ALL
BE FRIENDS FOREVER.
"AND AS HE CLOSED HIS EYES
TO MAKE HIS WISH,
"EVERYONE AGREED THAT
THAT WAS ONE WISH
"THEY WOULD ALL MAKE
COME TRUE.
THE END."
THAT WAS A GREAT STORY!

SID SURVEY.
HELLO!
I AM SID, ROVING REPORTER, WITH
TODAY'S SURVEY.
THE QUESTION: WHY DO PEOPLE
WEAR GLASSES?
MAYBE YOU CAN THINK ABOUT WHY
PEOPLE WEAR GLASSES, TOO.
LET'S GO GET SOME ANSWERS.
OOH.
HEY THERE, GERALD.
GERALD.

>> OH, YEAH.
HI, SID.

>> HEY, BUDDY.
HEY, WHY DO PEOPLE WEAR GLASSES?

>> SID.
[SCOFFS]
YOU DON'T WEAR GLASSES.
YOU POUR JUICE INTO GLASSES AND
DRINK OUT OF THEM.
GOSH, SILLY!

>> NO, NO, GERALD.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE KIND OF
GLASSES YOU WEAR ON YOUR FACE,
NOT THE ONES YOU DRINK OUT OF.

>> WHAT?
OH, RIGHT!
HA HA HA HA!
YEAH!
UM, WELL, THEN, I THINK PEOPLE
WEAR GLASSES TO HELP THEM SEE
STUFF.

>> HUH.
THANK YOU, GERALD.
I AGREE.

>> OK, BYE.

>> BYE.
OOH, THERE'S GABRIELA.
HEY, GABRIELA.

>> HI.

>> HEY, I'M DOING A SURVEY.
WHY DO PEOPLE WEAR GLASSES?

>> OH, MY MOMMY WEARS PURPLE
GLASSES WHEN SHE'S IN THE CAR,
SO MAYBE GLASSES HELP YOU SEE
WHEN YOU DRIVE.

>> OOH, GOOD THINKING, GABRIELA.
THANK YOU.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

>> BYE.

>> WHEE!
[GIGGLING]

>> HEY, HOW ABOUT YOU, MAY?
DO YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE WEAR
GLASSES?
UH, WAIT A MINUTE.
I JUST REMEMBERED.
YOU WEAR GLASSES.

>> [GIGGLING]
OF COURSE I DO, AND I LOVE
MY GLASSES.

>> HA HA HA!
WELL, MY GRANDMA HAS GLASSES,
TOO, AND THIS MORNING I TRIED
ON HER GLASSES, AND THEY MADE
EVERYTHING LOOK ALL BLURRY.

>> OH.
FOR ME, IT'S THE OTHER WAY
AROUND.
EVERYTHING LOOKS BLURRY WHEN I
TAKE OFF MY GLASSES, AND WHEN I
PUT THEM BACK ON, EVERYTHING
LOOKS CLEAR AGAIN.

>> WOW.

>> YEAH.

>> VERY INTERESTING.

>> THANK YOU.

>> HEY, THANK YOU.
[CHUCKLES]
BYE.

>> BYE.

>> AND NOW, THE RESULTS OF MY
SURVEY.
GERALD THOUGHT I WAS TALKING
ABOUT JUICE GLASSES AT FIRST,
BUT THEN HE SAID GLASSES HELP
YOU SEE STUFF.
GABRIELA SAYS GLASSES HELP HER
MOM SEE WHEN SHE DRIVES, AND OF
COURSE, MAY WEARS GLASSES THAT
REALLY HELP HER.
MAYBE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT WHY
PEOPLE WEAR GLASSES, TOO.
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT.

SOMETHING WITH THE CLASS?

>> WELL, SID AND I WERE
WONDERING, WHY DO MY GLASSES
MAKE IT EASIER FOR ME TO SEE,
BUT HIS GRANDMA'S GLASSES MAKE
IT HARDER FOR HIM TO SEE?

>> WHOA.
SHOULD I WEAR GLASSES?

>> WOW.
MY EYES SEE A VERY EXCITED BUNCH
OF SCIENTISTS IN FRONT OF ME,
AND YOU'RE ALL ASKING GREAT
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR SENSE OF
VISION.

>> VISION.
DOES THAT MEAN SEEING THINGS?

>> ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S THE WAY WE USE OUR EYES TO
SEE THE THINGS THAT ARE ALL
AROUND US.

>> OOH.
I SEE YOU, MAY, AND I SEE YOUR
SWEATER.

>> HA HA!

>> OH, I SEE YOU, GERALD, AND I
SEE YOUR FRECKLES.

I'M SID.

>> I KNOW.
I WAS JUST JOKING.
HA HA HA!
I SEE YOU, TOO, SID.

>> OH, GERALD.

>> GREAT JOB USING YOUR SENSE
OF VISION, EVERYBODY.
NOW I THINK WE'RE READY TO
INVESTIGATE HOW GLASSES CHANGE
THE WAY WE SEE THINGS.
OK, SCIENTISTS.
YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING.

>> TO THE SUPER FAB LAB!
YAY!
[ALL TALKING AT ONCE]

>> [GIGGLING]

>> OK.

>> SUPER FAB LAB!
OBSERVE, COMPARE, CONTRAST!
AH!

>> TODAY, WE'RE GOING TO DO A
VISION INVESTIGATION.

>> ALL RIGHT!

>> NOW, SOME PEOPLE CAN SEE
THINGS CLEARLY WITH JUST THEIR
EYES, AND SOME PEOPLE'S EYES
NEED A LITTLE HELP.

>> THAT'S WHY I WEAR GLASSES.

>> EXACTLY, MAY.
OK, SCIENTISTS, LET'S TAKE A
LOOK AT SOME GLASSES.
THIS CLEAR PLASTIC PART HAS A
SPECIAL NAME.
WE CALL IT THE LENS.

>> COOL.

>> NOW HERE'S THE FUN PART OF
OUR INVESTIGATION.
YOU'RE ALL GOING TO PUT ON
THESE GLASSES, AND THEN I'LL
TURN AROUND THIS SPECIAL EYE
CHART AND YOU CAN TELL ME IF
YOU CAN SEE THE PICTURES ON IT.

>> COOL.

>> THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN.

>> OK, SCIENTISTS, PUT ON YOUR
GLASSES, THEN LOOK AT THE EYE
CHART.
HERE WE GO.

>> WOW.

>> THAT'S WEIRD.

>> WOW!
EVERYTHING LOOKS ALL FUZZY.
I MEAN, UH, BLURRY.
[CHUCKLES]
HEY, YOU'RE A SCIENTIST.
YOU CAN TRY THIS, TOO.

>> IT'S TIME FOR THE VISION
INVESTIGATION.
WE'RE GOING TO EXPLORE OUR
SENSE OF VISION BY TRYING ON
SOME GLASSES.
LOOK AROUND THE ROOM.
DO THE GLASSES MAKE THINGS LOOK
CLEAR, OR FUZZY AND BLURRY?
NOW, LET'S LOOK AT THIS PICTURE
ON THE EYE CHART.
WOW.
WITH THE GLASSES, IT LOOKS
BLURRY.
NOW, TAKE OFF YOUR GLASSES AND
TRY DRAWING A PICTURE OF WHAT
THIS IS THE PICTURE YOU LOOKED
AT WITH YOUR GLASSES--A BOAT.
OK, PUT YOUR GLASSES ON AGAIN
AND LET'S LOOK AT ANOTHER
PICTURE.
CAN YOU SEE WHAT THIS PICTURE
IS?
OK, TAKE OFF YOUR GLASSES AND
TAKE A LOOK.
THAT TIME IT WAS A CIRCLE.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S PUT ON OUR GLASSES ONE
MORE TIME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS PICTURE
IS?
NOW TAKE OFF YOUR GLASSES AND
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS.
LOOK.
IT WAS A PICTURE OF A HEART.
WOW.
TODAY WE USED OUR SENSE OF
VISION TO COMPARE WHAT IT'S
LIKE TO SEE THINGS WITHOUT
GLASSES AND WITH GLASSES.

>> WHEN I PUT ON THE GLASSES,
EVERYTHING LOOKS SO DIFFERENT.
IT WAS HARD TO SEE.

>> YOU'RE RIGHT, GABRIELA.
GOOD OBSERVATION.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE SOME
OBSERVATIONS?

>> OH, I DO.

>> OK, GO AHEAD, SID.

>> OK.
I PUT ON THE GLASSES, AND THE
PICTURE OF THE BOAT LOOKED LIKE
A BIG, BLURRY BLOB.
SO I DREW A BIG BLOB AND I
NAMED IT BLOBBY.

>> [CHUCKLING]

>> AND THEN I LOOKED AT THE
CHART AGAIN WITH NO GLASSES, AND
EVERYTHING LOOKED CLEAR, SO I
SAW THAT BLOBBY WAS A BOAT.

>> OH, GREAT OBSERVATION, SID.
MAY, CAN WE SEE YOUR JOURNAL?

>> OK.
UM, WHEN I LOOKED AT THE HEART
WITH MY GLASSES, I COULD SEE IT
JUST FINE, SO HERE'S THE HEART
I DREW.
I ALSO ADDED SOME EYES AND A
SMILEY FACE, BUT I DIDN'T
REALLY SEE THEM.
AND THEN I TOOK OFF MY GLASSES
AND I COULD HARDLY SEE IT.

>> OH, WE'RE SO LUCKY YOU WEAR
GLASSES, MAY.
YOU MADE THIS INVESTIGATION
EXTRA SPECIAL.

>> THANK YOU.

>> HEY, I LIKE WEARING GLASSES
BECAUSE THEY MADE THE PICTURES
LOOK REALLY FUZZY, LIKE WHEN
YOU SPIN AROUND REALLY
SUPER-FAST, LIKE WHEE, WHEE!
I'M SPINNING!
[LAUGHTER]
WHOA!

>> WOW.
YOU'VE ALL LEARNED SO MUCH
ABOUT VISION AND HOW GLASSES
CHANGE THE WAY WE SEE THINGS.
I THINK IT'S TIME TO PLAY WITH
ALL YOUR NEW IDEAS.

>> YAY!

>> SUPER-COOL!

>> WHEE! HA HA!
WHEE!
WHOA!
HA HA HA!
I'M GOING SO FAST!

>> GOOD LAUGHTERNOON!

>> YES?

>> I KEEP SEEING SPOTS IN FRONT

>> HAVE YOU SEEN A DOCTOR?

>> NO, I HAVEN'T SEEN A DOCTOR,
JUST SPOTS.
HA HA HA HA!

>> HEY, MAY!

>> YES?

>> WHAT ARE YOU WEARING TO HELP
YOU SEE?

>> I'M WEARING EYEGLASSES.

>> NO, YOU'RE WEARING "YOU"
GLASSES.

Hey!
Arthur:
Hey, D.W.
Hey!
Whoa!
( crash )
The war in Belojka
raged on today
as rebel troops
seized control...
You're not answering
the question!
I'm trying to answer
the question!
What is the question?
Audience:
Freddy, Freddy!
How did you feel
when you discovered
Ethel had taken
your husband
stolen all your money and
burned your house down?
( cheering )
Boy! Sometimes it seems
like the whole world is filled
with nothing but fighting.
Arthur, could I?
Not now, D.W.--
I'm busy.
I mean, why is it so hard
for people to get along?
Everyone wants the same things:
a home, enough food, friends...
I just wanted
to ask...
I said, not now!
If only people acted
like they were part
of one big family...
D.W.:
Arthur!
Quit bothering me!
I said I was busy!
Why don't you play
with Pal or something?
Where was I?
Oh, yeah!
If people acted like
they were in one big family
then there'd be peace
in the world!
( growling )
( timer dings )
Dad:
Honey, you've got to come quick!
I finally did it!
It's by far, the most amazing,
beautiful, colossal...
delicate, delectable,
delightful...!
Dear, what is it?
Behold the David L.
Read Super Soufflé.
( screaming )
She did it!
He did it!
Arthur:
She did it.
D.W.:
I'm telling you, he did it.
Everyone into
the living room, now!
All right,
what happened?
D.W. wanted to play,
and I didn't...I wanted to ask
Arthur a question...
She hit Pal
with his toy...but Pal started
jumping up and down...
with that
slimy toy...
Arthur:
I tried toteach her...
I've heard enough!
No TV for
both of you
for two months!
Why am I being punished?
It was her fault!
Was not!
Was, too!
That's it-- three months!
Three months?!
Three months?!
David, maybe that is a bit...
Four months!
Oh, forget it!
Look how upset
you've made Daddy!
Okay, you two, I think you both
need to cool down a little.
Up to your rooms.
Can I still go to
the petting zoo
with the Tibbles
later?
And I have to go the Bionic
Bunny Arcade.
It just opened!
We'll just have to wait and see.
It's not fair!
She does something wrong
and I get punished, too!
I'll probably always
be taking the blame for her!
D.W., where
did you get
all this
"Crazy Bus" stuff?
( knocking )
Man:
Open up! It's the police!
( gasp )
Arthur!
What are policemen
doing in your room?
My room?! But this is....
Looks like we caught
the Crazy Bus Crook red-handed.
Book him, Charlie!
D.W.:
Hello, Arthur.
I asked Mom and Dad to come,
too, but they wouldn't.
They were
too ashamed.
You're the one who
should be in here!
I'm innocent,
and you know it!
Oh, blah-blah-blah-blah.
You'll be out in 50 years.
Here, I thought you might
want a little music.
( "Crazy Bus" song playing )
No!
( cackling )
I'd better do something about
this before it's too late!
D.W.
Why me?
With all the good
brothers in the world
why did I get stuck
with Arthur?!
( pebble strikes window )
We wanted
to make sure
you were still
coming to the
petting zoo.
Probably not.
I'm being
punished
for something
Arthur did!
That's the worst.
I'm always getting blamed
for something Timmy did.
Tommy:
I get blamed more!
No, I do!
Liar!
You're
the liar!
Look at
those two.
They can't go
two minutes
without fighting.
( sighs )
That's what Arthur
and I will be like, forever!
Admit it!
You broke the soufflé!
No, you did it!
I don't want to spend
all my time fighting.
It's so boring!
I've given it a lot of thought
and I think we should
do the right thing.
Me, too.
Well? Aren't you
going to confess?
Me? But it's your fault!
Is not!
Is, too!
Is, not!
Is, too!
( sigh )
We've got to get
to the bottom of this.
Your father and I have
come to a decision.
Arthur, you can go to the arcade
and D.W., you can go
to the petting zoo....
If, and only if,
we can resolve this problem.
We want to hear what happened
from both of you.
If you want, you can draw
pictures to help explain it.
And we are not going
to interrupt each other.
Who wants
to go first?
Me!
Me!
Let's arm-wrestle
to decide!
No way! Your
arm's bigger!
D.W., how
do you think
we should decide
who goes first?
We should
flip a coin.
Heads!
Tails!
Dad:
Heads.
I was going
to say, "heads"!
Can we flip another coin to see
who gets to say "heads" first?
No, dear.
Arthur, you
go first.
I'll tell you
exactly what happened.
I was in the den,
sitting on the couch...
Liar! You were
in the chair!
Mom:
D.W.
your turn
is coming.
Anyway, I was just
minding my own business
doing my homework...
When D.W. came barging in,
wanting to play.
Play with me! Now!
I can't, D.W.
I have to finish my homework.
So she started bothering Pal.
She was throwing
his bacon toy all wrong
so I had to show her
the right way to do it.
Like this....
Then I threw it to her
but she missed it because
she wasn't paying attention.
I got it, I got it!
Arthur:
D.W., wait!
I tried to tell her
to watch out for Dad's soufflé
but I didn't get there in time.
( gasps )
Arthur did it!
And that's just
the way it happened.
So you see, it was
all her fault.
The end.
Boy, I'm surprised
we're not all asleep.
That's usually
what happens
when people listen
to fairy tales!
Okay, D.W., now you can
tell us what happened.
But what if you
believe Arthur's story
because he draws better?
You don't
have to draw it.
The arcade will be closed
by the time she's ready!
Sorry it took
so long.
I had trouble
finding the rightdoll for Arthur.
All right, everyone.
Get ready for the real story!
First of all, I didn't
want to play with Arthur.
He always
thinks I'm dying to play with him
like he's the
most fun brother
in the world.
Um, honey, maybe
we could justskip to the...
Mom:
Uh-uh-uh, David.
No interrupting.
Anyway
I did want
to ask Arthur a question.
Dearest brother,
what is the time?
Quit bothering me!
I'm pretending
to do my homework!
( grunts )
( gasps )
D.W.:
Then Pal picked up the bacon toy
because he wanted
to play with me.
Arthur:
That doesn't look
a thing like Pal!
And it's a female!
Mom:
Arthur?
Arthur:
Okay, okay.
D.W.:
Everything was going fine
until Arthur butted in
and threw the toy really hard.
I ran into the kitchen
to get it
because I knew we shouldn't
play near Daddy's sloo-fay...
But then Arthur pushed me
into the table
and that's what made
the sloo-fay fall!
That's what really happened.
Liar!
You're the liar!
( blowing shrilly )
D.W., did you actually
see the soufflé fall?
No.
But you were both
in the kitchen
when it happened.
Mom:
I see that neitherof you are wearing shoes.
The kitchen
floor
is pretty
slippery injust socks.
I was running
kind of fast.
So was I.
It all happened so fast...
D.W.:
I guess I could have slipped into the table...
Arthur:
It's possible I slid into D.W.
( gasping )
Maybe we both
kind of made the soufflé fall.
Now, isn't there
something we can do for Dad?
Pal already
cleaned up the mess...
Arthur and D.W.:
We're really, really sorry!
I've got just enough time
to get to the arcade!
I hope the Tibbles
are still home!
( sighing )
( crying )
I don't think I've
ever seen Dad
looking so
down before.
Me, neither.
What can we do?
Arthur:
Did you separate
the egg yolks
from the egg whites?
Yup! Here are the whites.
I put the other part
in the sink.
Those aren't the whites!
Those are the shells!
And what
color are they,Mr. Know-it-all?
Who put you
in charge
of making the
sloo-fay anyway?
It's soo-flay! Soo-flay!
You can't even
say it right!
( Dad sighing )
What is it now?
Well, we saw how
upset you were
so we decided
not to go out
and make you
another shoo-flay
but then Arthur...
You were trying
to make a soufflé?
Well, let's get to it!
Now, the key
is fresh Gruyere!
Oh, and we'll
need some nutmeg--
that's my little
secret...
Mom:
David, that is themost beautiful thing
you've ever made!
Dad:
No, it isn't...
It's the most beautiful thing
we've ever made!
Kids:
And now...
The pen.
Here is the pen.
Yup, this is the pen.
The special pen.
This is
the special pen
that Steve and Marcus have.
I am Steve.
I think pen is mine.
I'm Marcus.
I think the pen is mine.
We're going to help these guys.
Girl:
Karma is our teacher.
She split us into groups
so we could solve the problem.
She told us what happened.
Marcus was using
this special pen.
Steve said that the pen that
Marcus was using was his.
But now there's only one pen
and two kids who say
it's their pen.
And they got into an argument.
You are going to work
on this problem.
She taught us to act out
what we think happened.
One person's going to be Steve
and one person's
going to be Marcus.
Role playing is acting it out.
Okay, that's
my pen.
No, it isn't.
I bought it with my dad.
But this is my pen.
Well, I have the same one.
( speaking Chinese )
( speaking Chinese )
Can I have my pen?
I had a pen like this.
Okay, fine.
What should we do?
Please write down a solution
to the problem.
"We would give the pen
to one person
"one week,
and the pen
to the other
the next week."
"Marcus gets it
in the winter and fall
"and Steve gets it
in the summer
and spring."
Some of these solutions
were fair
and some weren't.
"We should have
a raffle."
"Steve or Marcus
buys a new pen."
We can't solve this today.
It's good to talk
about these problems.
Kids:
And now...
Arthur:
Being a kid
is about the most fun job
I can think of.
Whoa, I feel dizzy!
Me, too!
Isn't it great?
Yeah!
Ew!
Gross!
Let's do it again!
Okay!
( groans )
That wasn't even close, Arthur.
I know,
but it was fun!
Hmm. It does have
a certain appeal.
( both laughing )
( laughing )
I really can't imagine
why anyone would ever be
in a hurry to grow up.
( ding, ding, ding )
Francine:
Hi, Muffy.
Francine, why do you insist
on embarrassing me like that?
Excuse me?
That lunch box you're carrying--
it's so...
babyish!
I mean, your mom
packs you
peanut butter and jelly?
Please, Francine!
"Mature Misses" head
for the salad bar.
They do?
Of course they do.
It says so right here.
( door opens, closes )
Oh, honestly, Francine.
PJs with feet are so
second-grade!
But... I like these.
Maybe so.
But "Mature Misses" only wear
pajamas without feet, see?
If you're so mature
then maybe you shouldn't
sleep over.
Maybe you
ought to find
someone else
to hang out with altogether.
Oh, really?
Yes, really.
Someone more...
grown-up, perhaps.
What a wonderful idea, Francine.
I think that's exactly
what I'll do.
I'll find a friend
who appreciates
my maturity!
Fine!
I'm calling Daddy
right now
and telling him to send
the limo to pick me up.
Catherine:
Totally can't wait!
Angi's party will be,
like, the best ever!
Uh, look, I got to go.
I'll call you back.
Oh, Catherine
I overheard
your conversation.
I just want you to know
I think it's so cool
that you get to go to parties
and do other
mature stuff like that.
Yeah, whatever.
Are you kidding?
It's completely amazing!
I can't wait to be
a teenager!
Really, Muffy, it's not
like it's all fun.
Sometimes it's a total
challenge.
Like, take tomorrow
for instance:
I only have 24 hours to pick out
an outfit for the party.
Talk about pressure.
Why don't you go
"vintage"?
Everyone in Mature Miss is.
You're virtually
guaranteed to be unique.
Vintage?
Yeah. It's totally in.
I'd be happy to help youpick out an outfit.
I know this
great little boutique on...
I don't think
that's such a great idea.
Why not?
Because what if someone sees us?
You're in third grade, Muffy.
No offense, but I do have
a reputation to uphold.
You don't understand--
I'm very mature
for my age.
I'm sure you are.
I know!
We can go early
and beat the crowds.
No one will even see us.
I don't think so.
I'm not a morning person.
Oh, come on,
Catherine, please?
It'll be fun.
We can take
my Dad's limo...
Limo?
( sighing ):
Okay, fine.
Be here at 10:00 a.m. sharp.
Great!
But understand it's just
the outfit, Muffy.
That's all the
hanging out we do.
Deal.
This is going to be so great!
I finally get to hang out
with someone who's mature
someone who's actually my speed.
Catherine:
Hmm...
Muffy:
No, no.
Too nautical.
Catherine, no!
Never wear white
after Labor Day.
I just don't think this
is working.
I mean, we've been at it
two hours and... nothing.
I've got it!
That?
Trust me.
It's so out,
it's in!
Oh, it's perfect
just perfect!
I couldn't
agree more!
What do you know?
I actually like it!
Thanks for helping.
I'll have
the coolest outfit at the party.
Anyway, I'll see
you around.
Wait! I can't let you
go to a party
without getting
your toenails done.
Actually, I'm not really
into the whole pedicure thing.
But check out that
grasshopper green!
I read in Mature Miss
that it'll make any feet look
two sizes smaller.
Really?
Because my feet are a size 11.
When we're done,
you'll be a nine.
I promise!
Catherine:
I've got to say, Muffy
my feet have never
looked smaller.
Well, thanks
for noticing.
What do you say we
go get some lunch?
My treat.
That's so mature
of you.
I told you, Catherine,
I'm very mature for my age.
Catherine:
I'll have the house salad and an iced tea, please.
Make that two.
Excellent choice, ladies.
I'll be right back.
I need to use the restroom.
At last, someone who
understands the joy of age-appropriate food.
This is too good to be true.
Francine:
Muffy?
Francine?
What are you
doing here?
We're going
roller skating.
What are you doing?
I'm having a salad.
Not that that's any
of your business.
Alone?
As a matter of fact, no.
I'm not alone.
I'm here with someone
very mature.
Oh, really? Who?
Catherine,
if you must know.
Catherine?
As in my sister Catherine?
That's the one.
But you
two couldn't possibly have
anything
in common.
Catherine's
in high school.
You're in
third grade!
So?
You're in
way over your head.
You're kidding
yourself
if you think she'll
keep hanging out
with someone
your age.
We'll just see!
I guess we will.
Come on, Arthur.
Huh. So jealous--
just like a child.
I wonder where
our salads are?
I need to get going.
Actually, Catherine
I was just about
to give you this.
It's a ring I bought
at the thrift store.
The plastic stone
will go perfectlywith your new outfit.
Thanks, Muffy.
That's so cool of you.
Cool enough to go to the party
with you?
Uh, no, not that cool.
Come on, Catherine,
please!
We can take the limo again.
Muffy, I'm sorry,
but you can't come to the party.
I'll give you a ride.
You'll impress your friends
and I'll be with you
one last time.
Fine.
But that's it.
Thanks for
the ride, Muffy.
Wow! Way cool limo.
Thanks.
It's my Dad's.
I'm Muffy, a friend
of Catherine's.
She's a friend
of my sister's.
And she was just leaving.
Hi, Muffy, I'm Angi.
And this is Debi and Tami.
Very cool outfit,
Catherine.
Thanks, I picked
it out myself.
Though I have to give
some credit
to the inspirational folks
at Mature Miss.
I have my very own
prescription
to their magazine.
You see, I'm very mature
for my age.
Why don't you
come on in
and join
the party, Muffy?
We were just about to hear about
Debi's first date with Robert.
It'll be fun.
Sounds great!
Debi:
And then... at the end of the date
he totally planted one on me!
It came out of nowhere.
I so couldn't believe it!
Awesome!
You're so lucky!
He planted one what on you?
Catherine:
Duh!
She's talking about
a kiss, Muffy.
A kiss good night.
Ew! That's disgusting!
I'd never let a boy kiss me!
Not in a million years.
You mean... you've never been
kissed by a boy before, Muffy?
Uh... of course I have.
I just meant...
never on the first date.
That's what they teach
in Mature Miss.
Of course that's what you meant.
( girls giggling )
( kissing )
( kissing )
Ew, gross!
Oh. I love this song.
Hey, I've got an idea.
Why don't we all dance?
I learned some great moves
in Mature Miss.
( music playing )
Uh, hello!
Dancing is for little kids,
Muffy.
Teenagers just sit
and listen to thepoetry of the words.
Oh... I mean, right.
Let's not dance.
Let's just sit and listen.
That's what I usually do.
Uh-huh, sure it is.
( girls giggling )
So, who wants a cup of instant
almond-vanilla decaf?
Teens:
I do!
Muffy?
Mature Miss says
that coffee
stunts your growth.
Don't believe
everything you read
in those silly teen magazines.
Anyway, come on,
ladies.
Coffee's this way.
Isn't she funny?
She's so "mature."
Tami:
You couldn't buy entertainment this good!
Are you okay, Muffy?
( sighs )
Oh, come on,
