Yeah!

(race car motors buzzing, tires squealing)

It's so exciting

that you're going to Venice, Buster.

I spent a summer there when I was in college.

Take a look at these pictures from Italy.

In a sec, Dad.

(race car noises continue)

And here is my favorite souvenir.

Uh... just look, don't touch.

It's a very special fish.

What's so special about it?

This type of glass is made only on Murano,

an island near Venice.

Big deal.

My fish Thelma can sing and dance.

I'll get her.

(timer beeping)

Oh, time to stir the risotto.

(cars zooming)

(tires squeal, Buster and Arthur grunt)

(fish thumps, bounces)

(gasps)

It's cracked!

Hide it.

But Dad will notice it's gone.

If you put it this way, he won't see the crack.

Wait-- he got it in Venice.

So?

So maybe I could find one like it.

He'll never need to know.

All right.

We'll just act like everything's normal.

THELMA THE FISH: ♪ Row, row, row your boat ♪

♪ Row, row, row your boat ♪

♪ Row, row, row your boat... ♪

Hey, where's Thelma's new fish friend?

It's very fragile.

We put it away so you wouldn't break it.

If you look at that map,

you'll see why Venice is so special.

They have canals instead of roads.

The cars can drive on water?

You'll see.

CARLOS: ♪ Canali are grandissimo ♪

♪ San Marco is bellissimo ♪

♪ Italy's magnifico ♪

♪ And here's a word that you should know ♪

♪ Ciao, ciao-- it means "Hello" ♪

♪ Ciao, ciao-- means "Bye now" ♪

♪ Here we go. ♪

BO: Here we are, Buster.

BUSTER: So there are no cars!

BO: That's right.

In Venice, everyone gets around by boat on the canals.

There's a gondola.

BUSTER: This is great!

BO: Let's go check in to the Hotel Dalla Mora.

It's this way...

or that way.

BUSTER: Dad, look.

There it is-- "Hotel Dalla Mora."

Was it named after our Mora?

BO: No, Buster.

But let's be sure to tell her.

BO: Buongiorno.

Buongiorno.

Ciao! Buongiorno.

BUSTER: Hi.

Do you by any chance speak English?

Yes.

BUSTER: That's great!

I'm Buster Baxter and this is my dad, Bo.

BO: Buongiorno.

Hello, hello. Hi, hello.

I'm Zoe and this is my father, Francesco.

BUSTER: You said "ciao."

What does that mean?

Ciao means... you can say it for "hello" or "hi,"

or you can say it even for "good-bye" we use it as well.

BUSTER: Where I come from, "chow" means food.

(laughs)

My favorite food is pizza.

What's your favorite food, Buster?

BUSTER: What a coincidence!

My favorite food is pizza!

Wow!

BO: Well, maybe we should get settled in.

These are the keys,

and this is room .

BO: Perfecto!

BUSTER: Cool!

It's got a nice lookout, and you can see the lagoon.

There's a gondolier coming up.

(gondolier calling out)

BUSTER: This room is great!

ZOE: Oh, yes.

I think it's the best room here.

BUSTER: Arthur, you're not going to believe this place.

First of all, they do everything by boat.

They deliver groceries and people...

flowers...

garbage...

the mail...

You name it, boats do it-- even construction.

D.W.: What are you looking at, Arthur?

What's that dog doing on a boat?

Aah!

It's from Buster.

Now leave me alone.

Dad!

Arthur's watching something on the computer

and won't let me see.

Shh!

Okay, okay, you can watch.

BUSTER: I haven't been able to "go fishing" yet.

Get it?

"Go fishing."

That's code for, "I'm still looking for a fish

like the one we broke."

D.W.: Aha!

I knew there was something fishy going on.

Look, we're going to replace it.

Dad never has to know.

MR. READ: D.W.!

Pick up the toys you left in the living room.

Okay, and Arthur will help me.

What?! It's your mess!

And it could get a whole lot messier, if you get my drift.

ARTHUR: Dear Buster, D.W. knows about the fish.

I'm being blackmailed.

(Buster groans)

Run, Unicorn, run!

ARTHUR: I don't know how much longer I can keep her quiet.

Can we do some shopping tomorrow?

Maybe, but first we're going to visit my friend Todd.

He has a daughter your age.

Bo, hi! Great to see you.

BO: Todd!

Come on in.

Let me introduce you to my family.

Ciao. Benvenuto a Venezia.

That means, "Welcome to Venice."

BUSTER: Kaitlin's awesome.

Her apartment's in an old palazzo

with the coolest water door for boat deliveries.

Usually I'm afraid of heights, but look at this view.

She's hasn't lived in Venice very long,

but she speaks Italian really well.

(speaking Italian)

BUSTER: That means, her school is right on a canal.

And guess who loves gelato besides me?

This is where we're going to get gelato.

BUSTER: Kaitlin and her sister, Cassidy.

She took me to her favorite gelateria.

Prego, madam.

BUSTER: Mmm, mmm!

Hey, Arthur, now we're going to go on a gondola ride,

and this is our gondolier, Luca.

BUSTER: Luca's a friend of Kaitlin's family.

He has all kinds of special decorations on his gondola.

(Kaitlin speaking Italian)

BUSTER: And gondoliers only use one oar, which made me nervous

when we got out on the Grand Canal.

(boat horn honks)

BUSTER: Watch out!

That boat looks like it's going to hit us.

Um, Luca, do you think we should go a little faster?

BUSTER: Whew! It missed us.

Wow, that Luca has nerves of steel.

D.W.: That bridge looks just like

the one in the Princess Polly movie.

Prince Perfect and Polly ride

in one of those granola boats.

ARTHUR: D.W., it's called a gondola.

Come on, let's play gondola.

I'll be Princess Polly,

and you can be the gondo guy.

Wait.

Let me see if Buster found the fish.

BUSTER: Kaitlin took us to a mask shop

where they make masks for Carnivale.

It's a little like Mardi Gras.

D.W.: Maybe if Buster got me a mask,

I could forget about the fish for a while.

I want a mask like that!

BUSTER: We met Daria, who makes the masks.

Today she was making this one.

D.W.: That looks like a bird.

BUSTER: Kaitlin asked if she made the others.

(Kaitlin speaking Italian, Daria answers)

KAITLIN: Yes, she made those ones up there.

BUSTER: This is the mask Kaitlin wore

for her first Carnivale in Venice.

D.W.: I want a mask like Kaitlin!

ARTHUR: Things are getting worse.

Now D.W. wants a mask like Kaitlin's.

I've got to find that fish today.

Maybe Zoe knows where I can get one.

BUSTER: Ciao, Zoe.

Ciao, Buster.

BUSTER: How are you?

I'm good.

BUSTER: Can you teach me

how to say "glass" in Italian?

Vetro.

BUSTER: Vetro, and how would I say "fish"?

Pesce.

BUSTER: Pesce-- okay.

And what about "broken glass fish"?

Un pesce di vetro rotto.

BUSTER: Pesce di vetro rotto?

That's right.

BUSTER: Do you know where I'd find

a pesce di vetro that isn't rotto?

Yes, that's Murano.

My friend Nicola's dad has a glass factory there.

BUSTER: Really?

Do you know how I can get there?

Yes, you just have to get a vaporetto.

BUSTER: A vapo what-o?

A vaporetto.

BUSTER: What's that?

That's a water bus.

BUSTER: Oh, that's right!

A water bus.

Yeah.

BO: Buster! Let's go!

BUSTER: Gotta run.

BO: What would you like to see today?

BUSTER: I'd like to find a vaporetto and go

to this place on Murano Zoe told me about.

BO: We'll see, Sport.

But first, here we are

at the famous Piazza San Marco.

(bell ringing)

That's the bell tower-- the Campanile.

Want to climb it?

BUSTER: Uh, looks kind of high.

BO: This square is almost a thousand years old.

BUSTER: A thousand years!

BO: The Basilica di San Marco is even older.

It was built in the s.

BUSTER: Cool!

There are so many pigeons!

BUSTER: The book says this is called the Bridge of Sighs.

BO: That's because it leads to a prison

and legend has it, the prisoners sighed

at their last glimpse of freedom.

BUSTER (sadly): Oh.

Let's keep going, Buster.

BUSTER: I have to remember to get something for Mom...

(softly): and a mask for D.W.

And I should get that for Pal.

So Dad, isn't it about time we went to Murano?

BO: Hey, watch where you're going!

BUSTER: Oops! Sorry.

BO: Hey, look at that!

"Calle del Bo" means "Bo Street" in Italian.

BUSTER: Wow! A street's named after you

and a hotel's named after Mora.

Okay, now it's time to go shopping on Murano.

Let's ask how to get to a vaporetto.

BO: All we have to do is go toward the water.

(with bad accent): No problema.

BUSTER: Oh, Dad...

This doesn't seem right.

There's nobody around.

Where's the water?

BO: We'll just check out our handy map.

We started out at San Marco and then came along the canal,

so we need to go over there.

BUSTER: Over where, Dad?

BO: Come on!

BUSTER: So, where are we?

Dad?

BO: We're almost there. This way.

The vaporetto stop is right down...

BUSTER: This is a dead end, Dad.

BO: Huh. That's strange.

BUSTER: So, are we lost?

BO: Of course not.

BUSTER: Hey, he's got a map and a boat!

(calling out): Scusi, sir!

Could you take us to Murano?

It's an emergency!

BO: Buster, calm down.

We have a map, too.

BUSTER: Hasn't helped much.

BO: I could have sworn we came from that direction...

but I don't remember this at all.

BUSTER: I think we're really lost, Dad, and it's getting dark.

Can we just go back to the hotel?

Look, a sign!

BO: "Campiello Nuovo O Dei Morti."

Huh-- "New Square of the Dead."

(Buster gasps)

The dead?!

Don't you see what's happening, Dad?

(roar echoing)

We don't know where we are,

we've wandered into the Square of the Dead,

and the moon is full.

We're doomed.

Doomed to wander the city forever... doomed!

Wait-- it's Luca,

the gondolier with nerves of steel.

(calling out): Luca! We're lost!

Can you tell us which way to the Hotel Dalla Mora?

Your hotel is that way.

BUSTER: Thanks!

Ciao.

Ciao-ciao.

BUSTER: There it is!

BO: See, Sport?

Nothin' to it.

(reel clicking fast)

Aw, what does it take to catch a fish around here?

(loud rumble)

(sighs)

A fish, a fish, my freedom for a fish.

(grunts)

BUSTER: I got to figure out how to get to Murano,

and I know Zoe will help me.

BUSTER: Ciao, Zoe.

Hi, Buster.

BUSTER: What are you up to?

Just playing around with my brother, Jack.

Ciao. Come stai?

He said, "Hi. How are you?"

BUSTER: Well, I'm kind of in trouble.

Can I talk to you about something?

Sure.

BUSTER: Remember yesterday when you told me how to get to Murano?

Yeah.

BUSTER: I've got to get there because my best friend, Arthur, and I

accidentally broke his dad's Murano glass fish.

Oh, no.

BUSTER: And Arthur's sister is blackmailing him,

and it's up to me to fix everything.

You should go to Murano and see if you can find

a fish that is similar to that fish that you broke.

BUSTER: I've tried every day since we got here,

and yesterday we ended up getting totally lost.

Oh, well, that's not a problem.

We can take you in this boat-- that is my father's boat--

to Murano.

BUSTER: Oh, thank you!

Thank you! Thank you!

Why are you so set on going to Murano?

Uh... it's a surprise, Dad.

Ciao.

BO: There's Francesco now.

(Francesco speaking Italian)

Okay.

These fishing nets are traditional nets

that they used from always, you see?

They use them for catching lots of types of fish.

BUSTER: Hmm, that's what I'd like to do today-- catch a fish.

(Zoe laughs)

BUSTER: Zoe, would you ever want to take a boat

and go off on adventures by yourself?

I don't know.

Yes, I would, actually,

but I'm a bit scared of adventures sometimes.

I'm a scaredy cat.

BUSTER: Me too.

But this isn't scary-- not like getting lost in the dark.

(engine sputters and dies out)

ZOE: Uh-oh.

BUSTER: Does "uh-oh" mean the same in Italian

as it does in English?

What was that?

BUSTER: Um, what's going on?

I think that the boat has stopped...

and we're in the middle of the sea.

(Bo laughing)

FRANCESCO: Scusi, Buster...

Mamma mia.

BUSTER: Has the boat ever broken down before?

Not really.

BUSTER: Is there a chance we're not going to get to Murano?

BO: Buster, Francesco's got

other things to think about right now.

ZOE: This is the fire engine.

(men conversing in Italian)

BUSTER: What are they doing?

ZOE: They're calling someone on the cell phone

to save us.

(giggles)

They said, "There's two guys with a camera

making a movie, I think-- two kids, one dad."

Are you scared, Buster?

BUSTER: Not if you aren't.

(speaking Italian)

BO: Cheer up, kids.

This has been a real adventure-- a Venetian avventura.

ZOE: Ciao!

BUSTER: Ciao!

FRANCESCO: Grazie!

BUSTER: Hotel, sweet hotel.

(Francesco speaking Italian)

ZOE: And this is my daddy's brother.

(speaking Italian)

Hello.

Hi, Buster.

Buster, do you want some pizza?

BUSTER: Sure.

Okay, Jack knows the way.

BUSTER: Pizza to the rescue.

Pizza makes everything okay.

BO: Buster, you didn't finish your pizza.

What's going on?

It's just... how can I eat when I'm letting Arthur down?

Did you and Arthur have a fight?

No, no.

We broke his dad's Murano glass sculpture by accident.

I promised I'd get another one,

but we just can't seem to get to Murano.

Oh, so that's why you keep asking to go there.

You should have told me.

And Arthur's dad.

Sorry, Dad.

Tell you what.

We'll go to Murano first thing tomorrow.

Are you going to eat all of that?

BUSTER: At last, the vaporetto!

BUSTER: ♪ Oh, here's the scenario ♪

♪ The glass fish is broken, so... ♪

♪ I'll take the vaporetto ♪

♪ I'll go to Murano. ♪

♪ Nicola will help me there ♪

♪ I hope Arthur won't despair ♪

♪ I'll find a fish, it's only fair ♪

♪ Murano, here I come! ♪

BUSTER: Okay, we made it to Murano.

BO: And here's the glass factory.

BUSTER: I hope they have what I'm looking for.

BUSTER: Are you Nicola?

Yeah. Are you Buster?

Zoe told me about you.

Hi! Is this your dad's shop?

Yeah. Want to come and see?

Follow me.

There's some really cool stuff in here.

BUSTER: And all of it is made of glass!

There are a lot of pink,

gold and blue.

In here there are a lot of sculptures.

This is a sailboat.

And this-- I really like the blue color.

BUSTER: That's nice.

What else do you have?

These are three people.

This is a big parrot.

BUSTER: I need a fish, not a bird.

Buster, look-- here's a bowl.

BO: Slow down!

Over here are glasses and vases and plates.

( glass clinks) BUSTER: Ooh, be careful!

BUSTER: Nicola...?

(mimics monster)

BUSTER: Wait for me! Slow down!

BO: Watch out. Everything's fragile.

BUSTER: A fish!

BO: Careful! That's glass!

BUSTER: There's another fish.

It's the wrong fish.

Don't touch anything!

Nicola, don't run.

A really heavy vase!

BUSTER: Slow down!

Nicola, please!

This is a chess piece.

Nicola, non toccare.

Solo guardare.

BUSTER: What did he say?

My dad said, "Don't touch, only look,"

because it's fragile and they can easily break.

BUSTER: Have you ever broken anything?

No, I don't think so.

BUSTER: How do they make this stuff anyway?

It's really cool.

Come on.

This is the fornace.

This is where they make the glass.

It's called the furnace.

It's really hot in here.

BUSTER: Yeah, it's like an oven.

BUSTER: Cool!

So when glass is hot, you can cut it with scissors?

(speaking Italian)

Okay, my dad said that this is silica sand

that you can form glass out of.

You can make all types of colors you want.

BUSTER: What are they making now?

NICOLA: Right now they're making this glass right here.

Want to see it, Buster?

BUSTER: Wow!

(Nicola's dad speaking Italian)

NICOLA: Now they have to put the heads on it now.

See? Look, look-- they're putting the ba*ls.

Because he formed, like, a circle type of one

and it's really hard to do.

NICOLA: This is a sculpture.

BO: What amazing skill!

BO: How did they learn to do this?

(Nicola asking question in Italian)

(answering in Italian)

NICOLA: This is a tradition.

The dad teaches the son, the son teaches his son,

the son teaches his son.

BUSTER: So, how long would it take them to make, let's say... a fish?

(questioning in Italian)

(answering in Italian)

To make a fish that's, like, pretty,

it takes, like, an hour,

an hour and a half or two hours, too,

if you want to make it big.

BUSTER: That's too long for me.

I have to catch the vaporetto in an hour.

Oh, that's too bad.

BUSTER: Are there fish I haven't seen?

Yes, lots of them.

BUSTER: Will you show me?

Sure.

There are, like, all different types of fish.

This is an angelfish.

This one's really big.

Flying fish.

Here are two fish that are playing tag.

BUSTER: They're beautiful, but they're all too big.

I'll show you a smaller fish.

BUSTER: That's it!

But it's too big.

Perfect!

Can we get it, Dad?

BO: All right.

But this is going to cost you a lot of allowances.

BUSTER: No problema!

It's a perfect match.

But I'm afraid you made a mistake.

You didn't break it.

Huh?

I dropped it years ago and made that crack.

See the old glue?

I told D.W., but I guess she didn't mention it to you.

She knew?!

So now we know that she knew that we didn't know,

only... we didn't know it.

D.W.!

What you don't know won't hurt you, right, Thelma?

I'll be the princess in disguise at the ball,

and you can be my orchestra.
