ARTHUR:
Hey!
Whoa!
(
ARTHUR:
Imagine you are traveling
through another dimension--
a dimension not only of sight
and sound, but of fantasy;
a dimension where teachers
are aliens...
( laughing evilly )
ARTHUR:
And principals are robots.
( in electronic voice ):
Hello! How are you?
Hello! How are you?
ARTHUR:
A dimension where there are more
UFOs in the sky than stars.
Look! There's a sign up ahead!
Your next stop, the Buster Zone!
FERN:
Hello, Arthur.
I see you overslept
your alarm clock.
What makes you say that?
You're wearing
two different colored socks
and you didn't
brush your teeth.
It all points
to one conclusion:
you were in a rush.
Why? Because you
slept late.
That's amazing.
I'm reading
Mrs. Marble's Handbook
for Young Detectives.
It's all in the details.
Arthur!
Arthur!
Panting, a look of urgency...
Aha! He's trying to tell us
something!
It's happened!
It's finally
happened!
What's happened,
Buster?
I saw a...
Wait, not here.
They might be listening.
Let's meet after school.
BUSTER:
I had just fallen asleep
when all of a sudden
I heard a strange noise.
(
(
BUSTER:
And there it was,
as plain as day--
my first real UFO!
Wait a minute.
You saw a UFO last week.
No, no, that was just
the little light
on the smoke alarm.
These were
the real things!
They flew right
over my house!
Did you say "they"?
Just how many UFOs were there?
Um, three.
No, no, six.
Oh, I don't know.
There were a lot of them.
BUSTER:
Anyway, I went downstairs.
( electronic pulsing )
Hello, UFOs! Hello!
(
BUSTER:
And somehow, I knew exactly
what that meant.
It was Alien for...
"We come in peace."
BRAIN:
Are you sure
it wasn't Alien
for "car alarm"?
It wasn't a car!
It was a UFO--
an "Undeniable Flying Object"!
ARTHUR:
It was probably
just a plane.
Or maybe
a helicopter.
Oh, yeah?
Could a plane or helicopter pull
you up in a tractor beam?
( loud whooshing )
BUSTER:
Take you million
light-years away
then stick you in an alien zoo,
where everyone stares at you
and laughs at you all day long?
Quit staring at me!
( laughing )
Well, all right
I made that part up
but I really
did see something!
I hate to tell you,
but UFOs don't exist.
How do you know?
They could...
There's no evidence
for them
just a lot of crazy theories.
They are not crazy theories!
They're good theories
made by normal people
like me!
You'll see, Brain.
I'll get you proof.
Then we'll see
who has the shoe
on the other hand.
(
Just a little more!
Leave it to Muffy to have
the world's heaviest telescope.
And it's never even
been opened!
Ah, instructions.
Aw! They're
in Japanese!
Oh, that's better.
"Place the ETX- /EC refractor
on the alt-azimuth mount."
See anything yet?
Not yet.
Whoa!
What? What?!
Mr. Haney has
Buster, you're
supposed to be
looking at the sky!
Oh, yeah.
Aw... this is kind of boring.
I'm going to bed.
Wow! Look at the moon!
Ooh! The space station!
( in Southern drawl ):
Got any threes?
Nyet.
Go Fish.
( gasps )
Wait a minute, what's that?
BUSTER:
Feast your eyes
on that!
On what?
That! It's a UFO.
No, it isn't.
It's a sh**ting star.
Or, in more scientific terms,
a small object
such as a meteoroid,
entering the Earth's
atmosphere.
We'll see who's an uncle's
monkey, Mr. Smarty Pants!
( cash register rings )
How about that!
( yawns )
Jupiter.
The Crosswire blimp.
This has to be
something!
It has legs!
That's a fly's leg.
He must have been
on the lens.
Here-- this is a book
on astronomy.
Instead of asking me
questions every
five minutes
why don't you just see
if there's a picture
of it in here first.
BUSTER:
Hey! That might be something.
Aw, it's just a stupid comet!
( Buster sighs )
"Comets are big pieces
of dirty ice..."
blah, blah, blah
"only rarely found
by amateur astronomers."
Hey! It might not be a UFO,
but it's something.
"To calculate the orbit
of the comet
observe its movement
over a period of days."
"Then press F ."
COMPUTER VOICE:
The object at right ascension
. hours plus degrees
will collide with Earth
in days.
(
Huh!
Hey, Mom, what would happen
if a comet hit the Earth?
Well, it would depend
on the size, of course
but first, there'd
probably be a big expl*si*n.
Then dust might
block out the sun
leading to another
Ice Age.
In fact, some people
believe that a comet
is what caused
the dinosaurs to die out.
Why do you ask?
Oh, no reason.
BITZI:
Some people believe
that a comet is what caused
the dinosaurs to die out...
COMPUTER VOICE:
Object will collide with Earth
in days...
days... days...
Good night, honey.
Night good, Ommy.
Comet is coming.
Comet is coming...
comet is coming...
comet is coming...
comet is coming...
comet is coming...
comet is coming.
Mr. President,
the latest numbers show
the Baxter Comet will hit Earth
in, uh, one hour.
We got to call us
Bionic Bunny.
(
BIONIC BUNNY:
( in Southern drawl ):
Any eights?
Nyet.
Go Fish.
( screaming )
(
Don't panic, Arthur,
but a comet is coming:
big expl*si*n,
another Ice Age.
Pass it on.
( hesitantly ):
Okay...
(
Hi, Fern!
Did you get
the news about the comet?
Yep, strange head gear,
a belief that the sky
is falling.
I'm sorry to say
this, Arthur
but according
to Mrs. Marbles
Buster has finally lost
his cookies.
( kids exclaiming and laughing )
BUSTER:
Listen up, everyone!
There's a comet coming!
We have to come up with a plan!
( kids exclaiming and laughing )
Didn't you hear what I said?
BINKY:
Yeah, yeah,
the comet's coming.
So is my fairy
godmother!
KIDS:
Ha-ha-ha!
BRAIN:
No way!
Why should I tell people
a comet is coming?
Because they'll
believe you!
You seem so sciencey!
That's because I back up
what I say with facts
unlike some people.
And "sciencey"
isn't a word!
But I have proof-- look!
It does kind of look
like a comet.
I'd have to double-check
your data.
Come on...
we've only got
½ days left!
BINKY:
This is a waste of time!
ARTHUR:
What are we doing here?
Buster, why couldn't
this have waited
till tomorrow?
It's cold!
Just be patient.
This is important.
You'll see!
BRAIN:
I've checked
Buster's findings
and... ( gulps )
he's right!
There really is a comet
headed towards Earth!
( kids screaming )
There! Now do you believe me?
KIDS:
Comet! Comet! Comet!
Ow!
( kids screaming )
Hmm. Could be a clue.
( kids screaming )
FERN:
And then
using my little gray cells
I determined that the curious
metal object was actually
an important part
of the telescope
and without it
we were getting all
the wrong readings!
So I quickly climbed
up the tree, and...
And we fixed
the telescope
and discovered the comet
wasn't going to hit the Earth.
The end.
Tell it again!
I like the part where Arthur
runs around like a chicken.
No! No more!
BUSTER:
Here it is!
"Cat Saver Discovers Comet."
BRAIN:
Hey, they got my name wrong!
They called me "The Bran."
It turns out
I'm not the only amateur
to discover something in space.
A girl named
Heather McCurdy
discovered a planetoid
with her friends.
It's still pretty
amazing, Buster.
Yeah, I just wish
it was going
to come back sooner.
We won't see it again
for another three years.
BRAIN:
Maybe they will
have discovered
alien life forms
by then.
You mean you're a believer?
If there's
intelligent life
up there
then there must be
intelligent life
out there.
VOICE:
Cut! Cut!
That was terrible!
Where's the emotion?
Where's the passion?
Okay. Everybody take five.
KIDS:
GIRL:
This is
the Ladd Observatory.
And we're going to be looking
through a big telescope.
Welcome to
Bob is the caretaker.
I've got some old slides
I want to show you.
He knows a lot
about astronomy.
BOB:
Okay, there's
the way Mars looked in .
GIRL :
Astronomy is things
in the night sky, like...
GIRL :
Planets and the whole universe.
Everything beyond Earth.
BOB:
Okay, we're going
to take a look
at the telescope.
GIRL:
Once we went upstairs
there was this big telescope.
BOY:
This telescope is
years old.
And if you look above you
we have a dome
with an opening in it.
We had to pull a rope...
and the rope moved the ceiling
so it was right in the spot
that we needed it.
GIRL :
So we could
focus the telescope.
GIRL :
First we looked
at the moon.
BOY:
The moon looks
like a half a circle.
GIRL:
Really big craters.
GIRL :
It looks like a big ball of snow
with a whole bunch of craters
on it.
BOY:
I see flat spots, mountains...
Everything.
And then we got to see Mars.
I can see the polar ice caps.
GIRL:
It's yellowish orange.
It looks
like a big ball of fire.
GIRL :
The word "astronomy"
kind of sounds
like high school stuff to me
but it's actually really fun
for me.
And now...
MAN:
You two have always been
good neighbors
so I wanted you to have Thelma.

ARTHUR:
I'm surprised
I feel sad
that Mr. Sipple
is leaving.
When he first moved in,
I couldn't wait for him to go.
Mr. Sipple loved
to barbecue fish.
Especially late at night.
How about a little
midnight snapper, lad?
(
And he liked to sing
in the shower
really loud.

Keep it down out there.
It's : in the morning
and some of us are trying
to hear ourselves sing.
But we'll have
something to remember him by.
Watch out!
That's not a toy.
That's my pet you're holding.
It's not a pet, D.W.
It's a plastic fish.
He's just jealous
because he has to
walk his pet.
(
iHola!
D.W.:
I win!
I am the
No, you didn't,
you cheated!
Did not!
(
Pal, be careful!
(
( yelps ):
Arthur, he licked me!
Call the veteran--
I might need
rabbit sh*ts!
That's just Amigo.
Don't worry,
he wouldn't hurt a fly.
We are the Molinas,
your new neighbors.
Hi, I'm Arthur.
I'm D.W.
I'm four.
What good luck!
My daughter, Vicita,
is ½.
We also have a son,
Alberto
but he's , a bit older
than you, I think.
Um, yeah.
Five years older.
Tell your parents
that we would love
to have you all over
next weekend.
iVamos, Amigo!
½-- I remember
when I was that age.
So innocent.
This Vicita is going
to need someone
to show her the ropes.
Great.
All Alberto and I have in common
is that we live
on the same block.
Hyah! Kote!
ARTHUR:
That's Alberto Molina.
What's he doing?
Practicing kendo,
the ancient martial art
of fencing
with bamboo sticks.
He does it
every morning.
He's probably
a master.
Cool-- maybe
he'll teach it
to you!
Are you kidding?
He's !
He won't want to have anything
to do with me.
I'll be lucky
if he doesn't give me a wedgie.
What's that?
I don't know
but I don't want to find out.
Let's see.
First, I'll teach Vicita
Tower of Cows.
Confuse the Goose
is much too complex.
She probably
doesn't even know
what a goose is.
( sighs ):
We're going to have so much fun.
D.W.:
I'll show her how to ride
a two-wheeler.
( laughing )
And how to be
a good little sister.
He did it.
It wasn't me.
And best of all,
I'll be in charge for once.
We're going
to play Rodeo.
I'm the cowboy,
you're the cow.
Hey, that sounds like fun.
Here's the rope
to tie me up with.
It'll be just like having
another Kate.
Except she'll talk and walk
and won't live in my room.
ARTHUR:
Why do I have to wear
a dumb bow tie?
I bet Alberto's
not wearing a bow tie.
D.W.:
My fish should meet their fish.
Arthur's dog's got to meet
their dog.
Would you two settle down?
This is going
to be fun.
(
it means we have
to go home.
Got you.
Welcome!
So lovely to see you.
MR. MOLINA:
We lived in Youngstown
but originally
we're from Ecuador.
Hors d'oeuvres?
Mmm, this seviche is fantastic!
Where on Earth did you get it?
I made it.
Come down to my new cafe.
I'll give you
the recipe.
I'm Vicita.
I'm / .
You're going
to be my friend.
(
Vicita, because
you're new here
and not quite as mature as me
I have decided that I'm going
to be your teacher.
First, we'll play
Pick Up Ticks!
You have to pick up
as many ticks
as you can
before the sand goes
from here to here.
Go!
Uh, okay.
I win!
You're a great friend.
MR. MOLINA:
Alberto, show Arthur
your room.
Sure, why not?
ARTHUR:
This silence is terrible.
You've got to say something!
Uh, pretty cool stairs.
I just said the dumbest thing
in the world!
I know what it'll be like:
posters of rock groups.
Or even worse,
posters of girls.
Here we are.
ARTHUR:
Yup, and I still
have more to unpack.
ARTHUR'S MOM:
I had a crystal bird
just like that...
ALBERTO:
Youngstown was
very nice, but...
Oh, those winters,
and all the snow.
It would be great for skiing,
if you had any hills.
(
You're the Hot Tomato.
I win again!
( giggles )
D.W.:
I can't play any more games.
ALBERTO:
Here are some Spanish
Bionic Bunny comics.
You can
borrow them.
ARTHUR:
Bionic Bunny fights
a giant train?
I've never seen this one!
Actually,
that's Tortuga Mala
the giant tortoise
who turns into a train.
His first appearance
was in issue .
Thanks.
Whatever.
Bye!
( all saying good-bye )
They're very nice.
I never even had
to pull my ear.
Nice?
Alberto is so cool!
D.W.:
The secret to a good flip
is knowing the right time
to start flipping.
(
Look what I can do!
D.W.:
Yeah, that's
very nice
but we're doing flips,
and that's not a flip.
ARTHUR:
I thought I'd
give you something.
If you want to talk,
( playing tune )
Pretty cool, huh?
Um, right...
Thanks.
( walkie-talkie playing tune )
Hello?
ARTHUR:
Sorry to bother you.
I just wanted to see
if it works.
It works.
Great--
what are you doing?
Algebra.
Cool.
Hey, what does
"Conejo Bionico" mean?
ALBERTO:
It means Bionic Bunny.
Thanks-- over and out.
( walkie-talkie playing tune )
( annoyed ):
Yes?
Hi, it's me,
Arthur.
I know.
What does el mean?
( groan )
Want to read
my picture book?
No-- today, I'm teaching you
how to play Tower of Cows.
Now, listen closely,
it's very tricky.
You have to put
these cows on top
of each other.
It's easier
the first time
if you do it
on something hard.
( gasps )
That's it!
I'm going home.
You said to put the cows
on top of each other
so that's what I did.
I was supposed to teach you
how to do it!
You're the worst student
I've ever had!
(
ARTHUR:
I'll change my clothes!
I think it's a private party.
What do you mean?
It means
we're not invited.
Probably because
you're always bugging
Alberto.
I don't bug Alberto!
Do I?
Maybe they just wanted
to see some other friends.
D.W.:
I don't care if I ever see
that Vicita again.
Some people
are so bossy.
No, Kate, like
Alberto's showing
some kendo moves.
I bet they look really cool.
( Dad sniffs )
Smells
What is Ramón seasoning it with?
Why don't we go
to the movies?
Oh.
You probably want
your comics back.
Hold on to them.
Was it a fun party?
It sure sounded fun.
It was okay.
My grandparents
and cousins came.
Here's some chicken.
Thanks, I'll give it
to my Dad.
Cool-- see you later.
There's something
in there for you.
ARTHUR:
What's that?
Ah, "te tengo."
"I got you."
D.W.:
We're going for a walk.
( screaming )
What's wrong? What's wrong?
( gasping ):
The peas are touching
the potatoes!
That's just
the way peas are, Vicita.
See? They roll.
(
D.W.:
Stand back!
Quick, I need a knife!
( sniffs ):
Oh.
That's better.
(
Green and white foods
It's a / thing.
How did you know
just what to do?
Because the same thing
happened to me.
Really?
Wow!
Will you show me
how to blow bubbles?
And how to tie my shoes?
Wuhf.
Is that right?
No-- woof.
It's an "oo" sound.
How's this?
iGuau!
Not bad!
But it's a silent G,
like this:
( illustrates )
(
Hi, everyone, it's me, Buster.
If you love the great food
we get to eat in Elwood City,
you won't believe
all the great food
I'm trying on my trip
with my dad.
Mmm... don't you
just want to eat some?
I'm tasting everything
and I'm sending it all back
to my friends in Elwood City
on my very own video postcards.
They're Postcards from Buster.
