Narrator: Sometimes our own
imaginations conjure up

ghosts and spirits
that can seem very real

and sometimes we can end up
running away from something

that isn't there at all.

Bert: Ahhh!

Cedric: Cut it out, Bert!

Why do you have to
tell ghost stories,

when we are heading
to the Clubhouse

to spend the
night alone..

in the dark.

Alone!

Bert: [giggles] You
don't really believe ghosts,

do you, Cedric?

And then, just
before the sun rose,

the ghosts made
a final visit.

People in the village heard the
clanking of chains

and blood curdling screams.

Help! Help!

Cedric: [giggles] Look, Bert,

it's just a branch.

Bert: Oh, oh ya!

Cyril: Computers?!
Who needs them!

I don't know how I let

Pig 2: Hi-hi! They do
everything for you.

Pig 3: Yes, and they
never ever make mistakes.

Cyril: That will be

Cedric: Bentley, do you
want chocolate pudding

with your waffles?

Bentley: I don't care.

Bert: You don't seem
to care very much

about anything
right now, Bentley.

Bentley: Don't
you start too, Bert.

That's why I ran away.

My parents are always
on my back!

And my teachers!

And the principal.

Bert: Your parents
have got to be worried.

Why don't you call them?

Bentley: What's the
point of running away,

if I've got to
call my parents?

I don't want them
to know, where I am.

I don't want anyone to know;

especially aunt Melissa
and uncle Ralph.

Promise?

Bert: Gee, Bentley,
I don't know.

I won't tell anyone. Promise.

He means, it's on, Sir.

Cyril: In what language?

Pig 3: There's one of these in
every room in the house, Sir.

All connected to
the master computer.

Pig 2: You can control

How's Bentley
holding up, Cedric?

Cedric: He still won't talk
about going home, Bert.

Bert: Well, don't worry.

I'll get him to go home.

You just got to know
how to handle kids.

Firmness and understanding,

that's all it takes.

Here you are, Bentley,

this should keep you
going for a while.

Hey, I even brought some books
I thought, you might like.

Bentley: Thanks
a lot, Bert.

You are a real...

College Mathematics?

You talked to my
parents, didn't you?!

And they told you,
didn't they?

And you promised!!!

Bert: I-I don't know what you
are talking about, Bentley.

Bentley: Sure, then how did you
know about the mathematics?

You were just trying
to make me feel guilty.

Bert: W-wh-wh about what?

Hey, did you fail
math or something?

Bentley: As if you didn't know.

Breaking into the school system
was easy with my computer.

So, what if I gave
myself a better mark?

I wanted to be first!

So I cheated.

Big deal!

So now you know,
why I ran away.

I'm a...criminal.

Cyril: Never mind that.

The point is, the only thing
you're running away from

That doesn't work, because
no matter where you go,

there you are.

I want to tell you a
story about a kid, I knew.

He ran away once.

He thought he could make it on
his own without friends,

without parents,

without a home

and do you know what?

Bentley: Ya, ya, I've
heard it all before.

He ended up poor
and homeless, right?

Cyril: Wrong!

He's a millionaire, but
there were a lot of lost

and lonely years
before he made it.

And as nice as money is,

it can't buy back those years.

Am I getting through?

Bentley: I.. I guess so.

Cyril: You might think
you're tough and brave

running away, but believe me,

it takes more courage to
face up to your mistakes.

Turn back while
there is still time.

Don't be like the kid
in the story, Bentley.

Bentley: Was that
kid you, Mr. Sneer?

Bentley: I've never been better.

I just talked to mom and dad.

Everything's going
to be all right.

We're going to work things out.

I just have to get a few
things I left behind,

then I can go home.

Bert: But Cyril?!

H-how did you.. I mean,
w-wh-what did you?

Cyril: Let's just say, I think

we parents should
stick together.

We need all the help we can get.

Come on kid, we
don't have all day.

It's a long drive
to your parent's home.

Bert: Hm, can you b*at that?

Bentley: Bye and thanks a lot!

Narrator: Sometimes we all try
to run away from our problems,

but if we turn and face them,

those problems can be solved

with a little time,

a little courage

and a little help
from our friends.

Bert: Anyway, Bentley's been
grounded for a month

and he's got to stay after
school every day

for the rest of the term.

Melissa: Ouch!

Bert: He says he doesn't mind,

because it's better than the
life of a fugitive on the run.

Then Bentley says, please
call Mr. Sneer to tell him

everything is all right now.

I'm not going to be
like that other kid.
