[Beep beep]
Uhh! Uh!
Almost there, bella!
Bella!
Uhh!
[Snoring]
Here you go, little guy.
Food fit for a spider.
[Computer beeping]
Fruit fly number ,
Number , number ...
So far, this hamster run
Measures '".
Or meters
And centimeters.
Hmm, how do you think
You'll like it here?
No. Not here.
Uhh! Uh!
We made it, bella!
Bella!
Could somebody
Open the door, please?
Good morning, wanda.
Need some help?
Thank you,
Ms. Frizzle.
Oh, don't
Mention it.
You know, ms. Frizzle,
I was really glad when
You said I could
Bring my best friend,
Bella the bullfrog,
To school.
Phew!
Between you and me,
I don't think she liked
Being cooped up
In my bedroom.
[Inhales]
Did bella need
More space in
Her home, wanda?
Absolutely.
Our classroom
Is so perfect.
Lots of space!
I hope you don't mind,
But I brought a few things
To make bella
Feel more at home.
Well, wanda,
An animal's habitat
Is its home.
Wanda, excuse me,
But that's my desk.
Arnold, today is
Your lucky day!
So why don't you
And bella get acquainted
While I unpack
Her stuff?
Bella.
Ok, but she better
Not give me trouble.
All right.
Let's see, now...
Hmm...there!
What is this?
Her beanbag frog.
It keeps her company.
Hmm!
I'm sure bella
Will be very hoppy here.
Get it? Hoppy?
Carlos!
Carlos!
Thing is, when bella
Gets too hoppy,
She knocks things over.
Aha!
,, ,...
So I think if we...
Hey! Watch out!
Clear a nice big
Space for her,
She won't get
In anyone's way.
Uh-uh, wanda. No way
You're moving the rabbits.
They've just settled
Down into their habitat.
They've got
Their water, their food,
And their shelter.
Ok, tim, but
If bella hops
On their roof,
Don't blame me.
Bella, meet rock.
Rock, meet bella.
Bella.
No doubt about it.
You two were meant
For each other.
So, bella,
What else do you need?
A little fresh air?
Bella.
Arnold, can you
Bring that pool
Back over here?
Stay.
Thanks, arnold.
Your desk is where
I'm putting bella's
Swimming pool.
Swimming pool?
Of course.
Everyone knows
Frogs need water,
So start blowing.
She's right, arnold.
But this desk
Is part of
My habitat,
And I like it dry.
Arnold, trust me,
You'll love
Having bella here.
Now blow!
[Inhales]
Ok, bella, welcome to
Your happy new home.
Bella? Huh?
Ok, arnold.
Where's bella?
Over there
With my rock.
Where?
Bella?
Arnold!
Bella's gone!
Gone? Where?
Out the window!
Arnold, did you open it?
Well, yes,
But I thought she
Could use some air.
What?
Nice one,
Arnold.
Why would bella leave?
It's so perfect here.
Maybe she needed
More from her
Habitat
Than a duck mug
And a beanbag
Shaped like a frog.
Tim, those were
Her special things.
I've got to find her,
And you've got to help.
What? Wanda!
Ms. Frizzle, could
We be excused to
Go look for bella?
Oh, that's
An excellent idea, wanda.
In fact, why don't
We make it a...
[Beep beep]
Yes!
Oh, no! Field trip!
I think I should have
Stayed home today.
I think bella should
Have stayed home today.
How are we ever
Going to find her?
She could have
Hopped anywhere!
Not exactly
Anywhere, wanda.
As I always say
To find a frog,
Be a frog.
[Beeping]
Be a frog? Oh, no!
That means
We're going to...
Shrink!
Kids: whoa!
[Snarls]
Ms. Frizzle:
♪ Where, mm mm, has
My little frog... ♪
Ralphie:
Hey! Take it easy!
Ms. Frizzle, maybe
Bella just hopped out
To find some food.
That is definitely
A speculation
Worth consideration,
Wanda.
What kind of food?
Corn flakes?
Malloblasters?
Bugs, arnold!
Eww!
Keesha:
Maybe we should
Hop to the nearest
Bug habitat
And have a look.
What do you say,
Class?
Uh, ms. Frizzle...
Do we have to hop?
[Door opens]
Ms. Frizzle:
Everybody out!
Wanda: where are we?
Arnold: phew! We stopped.
Bella! Bella!
Where are you?
Belllaaa!
Wanda, be quiet.
You'll scare her away.
Thanks to you,
She's already
Away, arnold.
The question
Is where.
Tim: bella!
Bella? Uhh!
Hop along, class.
Two by two, please.
Wa-hoo!
Ms. Frizzle:
Here we go!
Ha ha ha!
Hey, this place is
Crawling with frog food.
Whoa! Whoa!
Do we have to
Keep talking
About food?
Sorry, ralphie, but food
Is one of the things
All plants and animals
Need from their habitats.
So here's the food,
Arnold.
Where's bella?
I'm looking.
I'm looking.
[Snarls]
Waaahh!
Kids: aah!
Oh, look!
It's a felis catus.
All: ms. Frizzle!
This is an excellent
Opportunity
To study the predatory
Behavior of cats.
Go! Hurry!
Hurry!
Go!
Arnold: let's
Get out of here!
Ms. Frizzle:
If you insist.
Here we go!
Wa-hoo!
Kids: whoa!
Wanda:
We're in a tree?
Carlos: don't worry, wanda.
It's just a little mis-hop!
Carlos!
Carlos!
Not a mis-hop, carlos.
A tree is
A wonderful habitat.
Dorothy ann:
According to my research,
It's a perfect place
For birds and squirrels.
Yeah. It gives them a safe
Place away from cats
To build their nests.
[Snarl]
Oh, look!
Baby squirrels.
But I don't want baby
Squirrels! I want bella.
And there's not enough
Space for her here.
There's no food.
Besides, where would she
Put her swimming pool?
I don't know.
How about over there?
[Tweet tweet]
Very funny, ralphie.
Come on, arnold.
Let's see
If we can see her
From up here.
But, wanda...
There she is!
Look!
Bella!
Bella!
No. Wait!
Bella!
Wanda, wait!
Be careful!
Wanda!
[Snarls]
What do we do
Now, wanda?
[Snarling]
Help!
Help!
Wanda and arnold: yikes!
Arnold: oh, no!
That wasn't bella,
Wanda!
So? I knew that.
Then why are we here?
[Beep beep]
Wanda, arnold,
I can't have you two
Hanging out here all day.
Come along, now.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Kids: whoa!
Ralphie:
Here we go again!
Ms. Frizzle:
Oh, we're here!
But is bella here?
Because if she
Isn't, arnold--
Look, wanda.
Water!
And bugs!
Ha ha ha!
What do you think,
Class?
Does this spot
Have everything
Bella needs?
Tim: so far, so good,
Ms. Frizzle.
Water, space,
Bullfrog food.
Then bella
Must be here!
Bella!
Whoa!
Kids: not again!
[Wanda gurgling]
Bellaaaa!
Arnold: help!
Arnold and wanda: help!
Kids: we're coming!
Arnold and wanda: whoa!
Uhh!
That's not
The kind of water
Bella needs.
It's moving
Too fast.
Yeah. I'm telling you,
If bella laid eggs
In this water,
They'd be two miles
Downstream before
You could say "ribbit."
Excellent
Observation, ralphie.
Bullfrogs need quiet water
To lay their eggs in.
So all we have
To do is find
Quiet water.
[Squawking]
Just as I thought. It
Can't be too far away now.
[Echoing call]
Ralphie:
Wow! What is that?
One of my favorite birds.
It's an ardea herodias--
The great blue heron.
Look how it soars!
What grace!
What style!
What does that have
To do with bella?
Well, wanda,
As I always say,
Look for connections!
Arnold, you look
For connections.
I'm looking for
Bella.
Bella!
Where are you?
That's it.
I'm sorry,
But I can't take
The pressure.
Aw, come on, arnold.
We can do it.
Yeah.
Think connections.
Connections...
Food.
Carlos:
Fight!
Phoebe:
No, no, no.
Start over.
Um...
Bugs?
Dorothy ann:
Food.
Fight!
Carlos!
Carlos!
We give up,
Ms. Frizzle.
What's the connection?
Try this, class.
Where do herons live?
In a heron
Habitat,
Of course.
And where
Do beavers live?
Beavers?
Herons? Beavers?
Where is
All this going?
Ms. Frizzle:
The question
Is, arnold,
Where are they
All going?
Phoebe:
A beaver pond!
Wait a minute.
The water in a beaver pond
Is nice and quiet.
Wanda: bella!
Arnold:
Wanda, wanda!
This place
Has everything
Bella needs--
Food, space,
And quiet water!
She's got to be here,
And when I find her,
I'm never letting her
Out of my sight again.
Bellaaa!
Wanda,
Not so loud.
Look, guys. The beavers
Are working on their dam.
Tim: they're making
Their own habitat.
Bella!
There she is!
Wanda: bella!
Arnold, we found her,
We found her,
We found her!
Wanda, do you always
Have to shout?
Hang on, bella!
I'm coming!
Bella!
Oh, bella.
It's so good
To see you.
I missed you so much!
Look. I brought your beanbag
To remind you of home.
Is it just me,
Or does that heron
Look hungry?
Yikes!
Wanda!
What is it
With you, arnold?
Can't you see
I'm talking to bella?
Ok. Now, where
Were we? Bella?
Uhh!
Kids: wanda!
Wanda! Wanda!
Look out!
What happened?
Are you all right?
Of course I am.
But where's bella?
Bella!
There she is, wanda.
She's fine.
Bella!
Ok. That's it.
We're all in one piece.
Time to go.
Not until
I get my frog.
But, wanda,
Look at the facts.
A beaver pond
Is bella's
Natural habitat.
It's the right place
For her to live.
Right?
You call this right?
Well, where are
The comforts of her home?
Her plastic duck mug?
Her s--
Wanda, bella doesn't
Need all that stuff.
Let's go.
Arnold, stop pushing me!
Look, wan. This place has
Everything bella needs.
Delicious food.
Beautiful calm water
To swim and lay
Her eggs in.
Lily pads
To sit on.
And lots of space
To hop around in.
Bella.
This may have
Everything bella needs,
But it also has something
She definitely does not need.
Plants are eaten
By insects.
Insects are eaten
By fish and newts
And bullfrogs,
And fish and bullfrogs
And newts
Are eaten by herons.
They're all part of
The same pond food chain.
Don't you get it, arnold?
Bella's in danger!
Not necessarily,
Wanda.
The heron
Might eat bella...
If it could
Catch her.
And I might have
An anxiety att*ck...
If we don't
Get out of here!
Forget it, arnold.
I will not leave
Bella here
To get speared
By a heron.
Bella, there may not be
As much space at school...
Or the right
Kind of bugs...
Uhh!
Or a pond full
Of water...uhh!
[Splash]
But at least
There's no heron there!
Wanda, do you really
Want to take bella
Away from her habitat?
She belongs here.
Well, then if bella
Belongs here, so do i.
Oh, wanda!
And my friends can help me
Watch out for the herons.
Come on, wanda.
Get real!
You almost got
Yourself drowned.
Don't worry, wanda,
Bella's in her own habitat.
Kids: and we're going
Home to ours!
[Squawking]
Arnold:
Oh, no! It's the heron!
Kids: hide!
Bella! Don't worry!
I'll protect you!
Oh, no! Not again!
[Gurgling]
Bella!
[Gurgling]
Wanda!
Arnold, she must be
Hiding. I can't find
Her anywhere.
Hey, if we can't
Find bella, then maybe--
The heron can't,
Either!
[Squawking]
Come on.
Let's get out of here!
Are you guys ok?
Is the heron
Gone?
It flew away!
Phoebe:
Thank goodness
You're all right.
Well, wanda,
Did you manage to
Protect bella?
We didn't have to,
Ms. Frizzle.
You should have
Seen her.
Bella used her
Habitat and hid.
An important part
Of a frog's habitat
Is a good place to hide.
I knew that.
Bella, way to hide!
Herman.
Herman?
Kids: herman?
Bella.
Well,
What do you know?
Bella has a friend.
Bella and herman.
How romantic!
Oh, no! We'll never get
Two frogs back to school!
You're right,
Arnold.
So I'm not even
Going to try.
You're not?
You guys were right.
If I really love
Bella--and I do--
I have to make sure
She has everything
She needs,
And it's all here--
Space, food,
Quiet water,
Shelter from herons,
And herman!
Herman.
Bella.
Soon there will be
The splishy-splash
Of little tadpoles.
Oh, I love
Hoppy endings,
Don't you?
Carlos! Ha ha!
Carlos!
Ralphie:
So let's go now.
Only no more hopping, ok?
No! Wait!
Wanda! Now what?
Relax, arnold.
I just want to
Say good-bye.
Herman.
Bye, bella.
I know you're
Going to have
A good life here,
But I am going
To miss you.
Bella. Bella.
Yeah, I know.
You'll miss me, too.
And I know
You don't need this,
But here's something
To remember me by.
And watch out for
The great blue heron, ok?
Bella.
[Splash]
Ms. Frizzle:
There we are,
Wanda.
All finished.
Thanks, ms. Frizzle.
Ok, arnold, you can have
Your desk back now.
Arnold:
Thanks!
Ah, it sure feels
Good to be back
In my own habitat--
Food, water,
A roof over my head,
Linoleum.
Kids: linoleum?
[Sighs]
What's wrong, wanda?
Got the bullfrog blues?
Kids: surprise!
What's that?
It's a rana catesbeiana
No hoppium out
Of the windowcus!
A what?
A frog that won't
Hop out of the window.
And listen to this!
[Mechanical voice]
Bella. Bella.
Ha ha ha!
Thanks!
I love it!
Wanda: and you know where
I'm going to keep it?
Right where
Arnold's desk is.
Now, wait
A minute, wanda.
Wait just
One minute.
A few trees. And,
Now, where's that pool?
Arnold, move that
Over here.
Ha ha! As I always say,
Habitats are meant
To be shared.
Wanda,
We already
Did this.
Now, where did I put
That duck mug?
Wanda...
[Laughter]
Is this
The magic school bus?
Is this the magic
School bus?
Overlapping voices:
Is this the magic school bus?
Magic school bus?
Magic school bus?
Both: magic school bus?
Kids:
I want the magic school bus!
[Telephone ringing]
Bye, bella. I know
You're going to have
A good life here,
But I am going to
Miss you.
Bella. Bella.
[Sniffles]
[Honk]
[Ring]
Hello?
Boy: is this the producer
Of "the magic school bus"?
Yes. Yes, it is.
Good! Because I have
Some questions.
sh**t.
Since when can a bus
Shrink and sprout legs
Like a bullfrog?
Since the scriptwriter
Wrote it in
For the purposes
Of this episode.
So you admit
It can't really happen.
Well, not in the
World as we know
It, no, but...
And what about
The business
Of a stream
Turning into a pond?
That takes ages,
Doesn't it?
Well, it--it can
Take anywhere from
Weeks to years.
But on this show,
It only took minutes.
Hey! If we'd taken
Any longer,
You would have
Changed channels.
Maybe, maybe not.
And the stuff about
Beavers making
Their own habitat--
We humans do that, too,
Don't we?
Hey! That's my lunch!
Um...yes, sometimes
Humans--and lizards--
Change habitats
So quickly that
Animals and plants...
[Whispers]
And producers...
Whoa!
Oof!
Don't have time
To adapt or move.
So...how's bella doing
In her new habitat, anyway?
Um...well...
She's doing
Just fine, thanks.
Just fine.
Great!
Well, thanks very much
For your time. Good-bye.
Good-bye.
Here. Can I help you
With that, liz?
Just want to keep
Everybody hoppy.
Get it, liz? Hoppy?
Ha ha!
