I told them I'd have an idea
For broadcast day--
[Coughing]
So I'll have an idea
For broadcast day.
[Coughing]
Why don't I have an idea
For broadcast day?
Mom: ralphie!
Get up, ralphie.
You're going to be late
For school.
Oh, no.
[Cough]
Ralphie,
What are you doing?
Our class is broadcasting
Two hours
Of live television
Today,
And I said I'd
Have a show
For them to do,
And I don't yet...
[Coughing]
But I will.
No, you won't.
What?!
It's my opinion
As your mother
And as a doctor
That you have a fever,
Which means
You are sick,
Which means you are
Going back to bed.
But--but, mom!
No buts about it,
Ralphie.
I'm sure your class
Can do broadcast day
Without you.
We can't do it without him!
And we go on
In an hour!
Where is he?
[Telephone ringing]
I'll get it.
[Telephone ringing]
I was wondering
Where you got to.
Hello.
Yes, dr. Tinelli.
Dr. Tinelli--
That's ralphie's mom.
Uh-huh. Yes, I see.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Yes. He's sick?
Oh, poor ralphie.
Why aren't
I surprised?
Of course.
He must stay in bed.
What?
In bed?
What about
Broadcast day?
Yes, dr. Tinelli.
Thank you for calling.
Bye-bye.
Is ralphie
Staying home
From school today,
Ms. Frizzle?
Yes, I'm afraid so,
Arnold.
What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
Why, we're taking
School to him,
Of course!
To the bus.
[Beep beep]
Dorothy ann: are we doing
Broadcast day
From ralphie's room,
Ms. Frizzle?
What better place
To take chances,
Make mistakes?
And it sure is messy.
Ms. Frizzle,
Are you sure this visit
Isn't a field trip?
What do you think,
Arnold?
I think ralphie
Shouldn't have
Stayed home today.
How can anything
That smells like
Grape shoe polish
Help my body
Get well? Echh.
It will if you take
One teaspoon
Three times a day.
And don't forget to
Shake well before using.
Like this?
Even your jokes
Are sick.
Open.
Ugh...oh, boy,
I feel great!
Mom, you are
A miracle doctor.
Can I go
To school now?
Forget it, ralphie.
I've got to go see
Another patient,
But grandpa's downstairs
If you need anything.
I'll check in later.
[Door closes]
If I get an idea,
I'll still have time
To phone it in.
That's it--a phone-in.
[Beep beep]
Ha ha ha!
Hi. We're here!
Hello!
Ralphie,
We're here.
I must be hallucinating.
Maybe I'm sicker
Than I thought.
Hi, ralphie.
How you doing?
Gee, you look
Terrible.
Don't worry.
I'll have you
Camera-ready
In no time.
[Coughing]
Is it just me,
Or is my entire class
Standing in my room?
Aren't you glad
To see us?
We came to do
Broadcast day.
Really?
What a great idea.
Now and then,
I do have them,
Ralphie.
Speaking of great ideas,
What's yours, ralphie?
Mine? Oh, you mean
For broadcast day?
[Coughing]
Oh, you'd better
Take it easy, ralphie.
Your body is telling you
To slow down.
But, ms. Frizzle,
I can't!
We have
A show to do.
What does
My body know anyway?
Oh, it knows a lot
About the detection
And rejection
Of infection, ralphie.
Whoa!
Inside you,
At this moment,
There is action,
Excitement, adventure.
Exactly what we need
For our show.
So what's your idea,
Ralphie?
Uh...well...um.
[Coughing]
Oh, what's going on
With my body, anyway?
That's an excellent
Question, ralphie.
Class, everyone
Back to the bus.
Huh?
Huh?
Huh?
But, ms. Frizzle,
We just got here.
Mm-hmm.
Single file, please.
Wait! Where are you going?
You can't go
On a field trip now,
And I can't do broadcast day
All by myself.
[Coughing]
I'm sick.
[Whirring]
Huh? Wait a minute!
Wh-what's going on?
It was your idea,
Ralphie.
We're here to get
The inside story.
Inside story?
Inside what?
What about
Broadcast day?
Think, ralphie.
Where is all the action
Right now?
The action?
Liz, what are you doing?
Hang on a second.
The action is all inside me.
What a great idea.
Broadcast day
Could be about
What's going on
Inside me.
Excellent, ralphie.
R-r-roll tape!
This is fnn.
Good afternoon.
I'm ralphie, and this is
The frizzle news network.
Welcome to our live
On-the-scene coverage
Of a natural disaster
Of major proportions--
My poor, sick body.
Over to you,
Keesha.
Thanks, ralphie.
One disturbing question
Remains unanswered
At this hour--
What's making
Ralphie sick?
The fnn news team
Hopes to find out.
And to do that they will go
Straight to the troubled zone--
My sore throat.
Seat belts,
Everyone.
Ralphie, say, "ahh."
Ahh.
Aah!
[Gulp]
[Splat]
[Lisping]
I've never seen that
From the outside before.
Keesha:
The fnn news team
Is nearing
The disaster area.
In a moment, we will
Have live footage.
Ralphie:
See anything yet?
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Get a sh*t
Of those
Vocal cords, class.
Tim: look how red and
Swollen his throat is.
No wonder it hurts.
The question is
Why is it red and swollen,
And why does it...
[Coughing]
Kids:
Yow!
Aah!
Whoa!
Hey, where'd they go?
Where's the bus?
Huh?
Ralphie, did you
Have to cough?
Sorry.
I couldn't help it.
At this rate,
We'll never get
The inside story
Of what's making
Ralphie sick.
We've got
To find
Another way in.
Mm-hmm. It's not as easy
For us or germs
To get inside the body
As you might think.
Yeah. Skin pretty much
Covers it.
How are you gonna get
The inside story
If you can't get inside?
Wait a second. I've got it!
Look at this!
Is it just me,
Or does this say,
"This way in"?
It's a shortcut.
Get it? Shortcut.
Carlos, yuck!
Excellent observation,
Carlos.
Seat belts, everyone!
Wow!
You saw it first
On fnn news.
Hey, you guys!
The whole world
Wants to know
Now that you found
A way in,
How are you gonna get
To my throat?
Ralphie's right!
We're all the way
Down at the knee.
Let's see if I can put you
In the picture.
As I always say,
For every trip,
There's a road map.
Keesha:
That's ralphie's bloodstream.
Could we
Travel through
His bloodstream
To get
To his throat?
Absolutely,
Dorothy ann.
♪ We'll take the trans-ralphie
Highway system ♪
And here we go! Wahoo!
This is ralphie for fnn news.
My entire class has just
Dived deep into my cut,
And it doesn't even hurt!
Tim:
What are those?
Those are tiny,
Tiny blood vessels.
They're all part
Of the bloodstream.
Eenie-meenie-miney-mo!
[Ms. Frizzle humming]
♪ Red river valley ♪
[Hums]
Head north, ms. Frizzle.
Yee-haw!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Is that my blood?
But I thought blood
Was red.
That stuff is clear.
Ms. Frizzle:
That's right, ralphie.
The liquid part
Of the blood is clear.
So what are
Those red things?
Are they what
Make blood look red?
Scintillating surmise,
Ralphie.
Dorothy ann:
According to my research,
They're called
Red blood cells.
And the white ones
Are white blood cells.
Ralphie:
But what are those
Jaggedy things?
Ms. Frizzle
Those are platelets.
Keesha: they help the body
Heal scrapes and cuts.
But we still don't
Know what's making
Me feel sick,
And, boy,
Do I feel sick.
Dr. Tinelli:
Ralphie! I'm home!
[Gasp]
There. Uh!
Oh!
Quick, hide, liz!
Hello, sweetheart.
Feeling any better?
Yeah, fine. Great.
It, um, looks
As if you've been busy.
Just a...er,
Game I was playing.
So, mom,
I think I'll get
Some sleep now.
Hey, what's that
You're watching?
What, this?
It's, um...nothing.
Just some movie.
You wouldn't
Like it.
Oh, I don't know about that.
It's remarkably realistic.
Look--red blood cells.
And those look exactly
Like white blood cells.
Nah.
Are you kidding?
Those are just cheap
Special effects.
Look. You can even
See the wires.
Ms. Frizzle
We're here.
Phoebe: we are?
Carlos: we're
In ralphie's throat?
Dorothy ann:
There are a lot more
White blood cells here.
Keesha: where are
They going?
Tim: looks like
They're after something.
Follow the white
Blood cells!
Sorry, ralphie.
What did you say?
Me? Did I say
Something?
Look. That truck thing
Is following
The white blood cells
Through
The blood vessel wall
To the place
Where the infection is.
Yes! They're getting
The inside story!
Heh heh. [Coughing]
Ms. Frizzle
Whoa! Ahh.
Now that we're inside
Ralphie's throat tissue,
Time for some
On-the-spot reporting,
Up close and personal.
Keesha, carlos--
Camera one.
The trick here
Is not to make eye contact.
[Whistling]
Phoebe and arnold,
You take camera two.
I'm the one
Who should have
Stayed home today.
Way to go, guys.
Take chances.
Get messy.
Get out there.
Get the story.
Just don't mention
My name, ok?
Ralphie,
Are you talking
To yourself?
Not exactly, mom.
Wanda: now over
To keesha and carlos,
Live from the throat.
Ralphie,
That little girl
Looks just like
Your friend wanda.
Who, her?
No, no, no.
Wanda's
Much shorter.
Carlos here.
We're out here
In the throat tissue,
Trying to find out
What's going on,
And--hey, what's that?
Look at that,
Folks! Whoa!
Have we got us
Some action here.
Those yellow green
Balls are destroying
That wall.
What are those
Green things?
Those are
Bacterial cells.
They're actually
Not unlike the bacteria
That are making you sick.
That's bacteria,
And it's making
Me sick?
This just in, folks.
That's bacteria,
And it's making ralphie sick.
And according to my research,
Bacteria are germs.
Once inside our bodies,
They can make us sick.
Ralphie has
A bacterial infection!
This is it--
The inside story--
Bacteria
inv*de throat.
Is it just me,
Or did they say "ralphie"?
No, no.
It says here
This show's
About a guy
Named alphie.
Ix-nay
On my ame-nay.
The bacteria from ralphie's
Throat infection are everywhere,
And they're destroying
His throat cells!
Look! Look! Here come
Some white blood cells.
Whoa! Wow!
It's throwing stuff
At the bacteria.
That...that was incredible!
That white blood cell
Just ate those bacteria.
That huge battle
Is going on
Inside me--
[Coughing]
I mean,
Inside alphie?
[Coughing]
This battle is raging!
Who's going to win?
No wonder
I'm sick.
Arnold here, on location
With the infection.
I'm going to try to get
An exclusive interview
With these two bacteria.
I mean, four bacteria.
I mean,
Eight bacteria.
Hey, guys,
They're multiplying!
Help!
Carlos:
Bad news, guys.
The bacteria
From the infection
Are multiplying faster
Than the white blood cells
Can gobble them up!
We're losing!
All:
Let's get out of here!
How could
My body lose?
Ralphie,
Are you all right?
I don't think you
Should be watching this.
No! I mean--
Heh heh heh--
Please don't
Turn it off, mom.
I want to see
How it ends.
I'll tape it for us
Downstairs.
But you don't
Understand.
What I understand
Is that your body needs
To save its strength
So it can use
Its energy to battle
Those bacteria.
You have to rest, sweetheart.
It's not just me, ralphie.
Any good doctor knows
The best cure
Is complete rest.
[Door closes]
Over to me--dorothy ann.
Right now the white blood cells
Are losing!
Certainly
Looks that way,
Dorothy ann.
They need help!
They need backup support!
Ralphie, did you hear me?
Where's our backup support?
B-backup support?
Where do I get that?
Not to worry, ralphie.
It's already on its way.
Cue the medicine!
Is that the medicine
Mom gave me earlier?
It sure is, ralphie.
Look
What it's doing!
Phoebe:
It's destroying more bacteria!
The medicine is giving
The white blood cells
Another chance.
Arnold: and they're
Throwing out even more
Of those stick things.
Ms. Frizzle
Oh, those stick things
Are antibodies.
The white blood cells
Use them
To mark the bacteria.
♪ Dum dee dum dum ♪
I hope this doesn't mean
What I think it means.
Oh, no! Ralphie's antibodies
Have marked the bus as bacteria.
But we're not bacteria.
We're ralphie's friends.
But his white blood cells
Are doing such a good job.
They now recognize us
As enemies, too.
Enemies?
But we know what
White blood cells
Do to enemies.
That's right, arnold.
They'll try to destroy us.
Destroy us?
Ah, the wonder
Of the human body.
Arnold:
Ralphie, do something!
Ralphie!
You've got to help us!
[Screaming]
Ralphie, help!
Ralphie!
Don't worry, class.
In order to destroy us,
Ralphie's white blood cells
Will have to catch us first.
[Ring]
We've got to get out
Of ralphie's throat!
Ms. Frizzle
Good thinking,
Keesha.
When the spot
Is tight,
Hang a right!
[Gong]
Broadcast day! The story!
Where is everybody?
Ms. Frizzle here
With an update
On the ralphie story.
To escape
The white blood cells,
We left ralphie's throat
And are now heading up
His nasopharyngeal passages.
The what?
According to my research,
That means...his nose?
We're up
Ralphie's nose?
Eew!
Eew!
Eew!
That's the inside
Of my nose? Weird.
[Ah-choo]
Bless you.
Of course,
There's no telling
How long we'll
Have to stay here
Or how long we can
Stay here.
Liz, I'm trying
To think here.
I get it. I've got
To sneeze them out,
But I don't feel
Like sneezing.
Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah--
[Ah-choo]
Kids:
Whee!
Ha ha ha!
Ms. Frizzle
Second floor--boys' socks.
Going up!
All
Right!
Way to go,
Ralphie!
Yeah!
This is keesha, still
Reporting to you live for fnn.
We are now back
In ralphie's room.
So ralphie, what do you
Have to say
About today's amazing
Adventure?
Well, I'm sorry that
My body made such
A mess of it.
Wait a minute.
Do you really
Think
Your body's been
Working against you?
Sure, and against you, too.
You almost
Didn't get in, remember?
Only because
Your body's built
To keep out things
Like a bunch of germs
Or a bus full of kids.
And my throat is so sore
I can barely talk.
Only because
Your body is sending
Extra blood there
To help fight
The infection.
Ok. But what about when
You almost got gobbled up
By my white blood cells?
Only because
Your body thought
We were bacteria.
Your body was only
Trying to protect you.
I guess you're right.
My body was just trying
To get rid of germs,
Like you.
[Laughter]
Come along, class.
Good old body.
So that's the inside story,
Isn't it, ms. Frizzle?
That's the inside
Story, ralphie.
Pretty amazing,
Don't you think?
Well, we may have won
The battle, class,
But he's still
Fighting the w*r.
Wanda: hey, guys.
How's this for a concept?
Inside ralphie, the series.
Week one,
He gets a charley horse.
Week two, tennis elbow.
Week three, the final episode--
Athlete's foot.

Yes, and you're
Talking to the producer.
Can I help you?
Yeah. What were those
Kids doing visiting
Ralphie when he was
So sick and tired?
Oh, don't worry.
He wasn't infectious.
Thanks for calling. Bye.
[Telephone ringing]
Hello.
<Span style="style"> magic</span>
<Span style="style">school bus.</Span>
Caller: you know, ralphie
Shouldn't go around
Picking scabs.
If the magic school bus
Got in, so could germs.
Good point.
Bandages, like skin,
Are there to keep
Germs out of your body.
Bacteria aren't
The only things
That can make you sick.
There are viruses,
Parasites, fungi, and--
Right, and some
Sickness isn't
Caused by infection
But by the body's own
Systems not working right.
Thanks for calling. Bye.
Whew.
[Telephone ringing]
Hello.
<Span style="style">magic school bus.</Span>
Caller: well, I think
That somebody should say
That medicine
Can be dangerous
And kids should never
Take medicines
Without an adult
In charge.
You just did.
Thank you.
Um, did ralphie
Ever get better?
He sure did.
His body did a great job
Of getting rid of
All those germs,
And he got just as healthy
As he was before.
And they should also
Say that your body's
Always trying
To be healthy.
You're absolutely right,
And there's a lot
You can do to help it out.
I know. Like
Eating properly,
Getting enough sleep,
And exercising.
Getting all your sh*ts
Is another way
To keep healthy.
sh*ts help your body
Be prepared
For some of the really
Tough germs.
I don't like
Getting sh*ts.
They sometimes hurt.
Me, neither, but I also
Don't like getting sick.
And I'd rather
Get a sh*t now
Than get sick later.
Me, too, I guess.
Hey, does ms. Frizzle
Ever get sick?
No way!
She takes good care
Of herself,
Gets all of her sh*ts,
And she's magic.
