Ears get together and make things better by working together its a simple message and it comes from the heart believe in yourself for thats the place to start and i say hey hey what a wonderful kind of day if we could learn to work and play and get along with each other. Hey what a wonderful kind of day hey what a wonderful kind of day. Hey arthur hey, d. W. Hey whoa crash okay, this is for the title. Whoever wins this race shall hereby be known as the sled master. Dont forget the sundae. The winner gets a big pig at the sugar bowl with extra everything. Youre on on your mark. Get set. Go creaking buster whoohoo, tree house here i come arthur screams wood crashing did i do it . Who won . Who cares . Look. gasps our tree house arthur it was completely destroyed. Now its just a big pile of wood. But thats impossible. That tree house has been around for years. Its because weve angered them. Were sorry, aliens. Here take arthurs pie as a peace offering. Aliens had nothing to do with it, buster. It just fell because of all the snow. Where are we supposed to hang out now . Muffy my place. Its very conveniently located. Yeah for you. We cant go to someones house. The cool thing about the tree house was that no one owned it. I have a 60inch flatscreen tv with 300 channels. Im there. Remember our first day in the tree house . kids cheering baby cooing sorry, dora winifred, this place is only for big kids. wailing ah, that was a good day. Francine yeah. Im sure going to miss that place. Man so, when will you build a new one . Arthur new one . I couldnt help overhearing your conversation. It seems like you kids need another tree house. You dont understand mister. You can call me frank. Im an architect and ive been hired to design the new art gallery in elwood city. See . Thats going to be a building . Frank well, its just a preliminary sketch but sure, why not . Who says a building has to look like a box . Our tree house was kind of boxy, but it was the best place to hang out in the world. Frank who knows . If you put your heads together, you might dream up something even better. Ask your parents to give me a call if you get any ideas. I could help you design it. Arthur okay, how about this . A castle tree house. Buster nah, castles have been done before. All right. How about a space ship tree house . Buster theyve got Something Like that at the chicken lickin. Arthur fine, lets hear some of your ideas. I dont have any yet. It should be something different, something new, like. Like. Like this. A moldy crust of bread . No, arthur, a moldy pizza crust. Its from the very first pizza my mom and i shared with harry. So . Dont you see . We could have a pizza tree house. It could be shaped like a pie and the windows could look like pepperonis and. Wait. The windows could actually be pepperonis. And if its not raining, you could tear the windows off and eat them. And thered be hot and cold running tomato sauce mmm. And big comfy mozzarella chairs. sighs contentedly laughing thats the most ridiculous idea ive ever heard. Okay, maybe it cant actually be made of pizza, but it could still be shaped like a pie. No way itll look really weird. I dont think so. Im not taking a design for a pizza tree house to frank. Then maybe we should just work on this alone. Arthur it just doesnt make any sense. Whoever heard of a pieshaped house . Hmm. Pieshaped. Why are you writing that down . Im collecting ideas for a design thatll satisfy everyone. So far its got to have an art gallery an Underground Passage to the library and a wrestling arena. Arthur how will you fit a wrestling arena on top of a tree . Details, details. Brain, what features would you like in a new tree house . You dont have to bother designing anything, francine. Ive already done it. What . Yes, i ran into that architect and ive come up with a plan that will benefit all of elwood city. What is it . Sorry, arthur, im not at liberty to discuss the project, but come to the unveiling at the sugar bowl. May i have some toothpicks, mrs. Macgrady . Thank you. Huh . That knowitall well see who has the best design. sighs i need the glue to dry faster. wind whistling sneezes screams okay, well put binkys wrestling arena here and sue ellens pagoda there and georges woodworking shop over to the left right next to wallys sauna. Oh, yeah, and it all has to be pieshaped. groans i cant even see the tree anymore. groaning this is pointless. There are just too many things to include. grunts squeaking huh . That just might work. Can we eat yet . Just a minute. I want this drawing to really capture pizza. There what do you think . Its very. Pizzaish. Oh, its too simple. We should have ordered more toppings. Aw, arthur was right. A pizza tree house is a dumb idea. sighing maybe i should work with calzones. Well, whatever you do, itll have to wait till after dinner. Im starving. Wait stop thats it, thats it dont move, mom. Arthur i couldnt decide on a spaceship or a castle so i combined the two. Its a spacecastle tree house. I bet thats new. Actually, it reminds me of the work of the spanish architect antonio gaudi. It does . Its a compliment, arthur. Gaudi created some of the most inspiring buildings of his generation. Look at his church of the Sagrada Familia in barcelona. Buster awesome arthur thats amazing. What did you come up with, buster . I know it sounds kind of silly, but, well, its a pizza tree house. At first i imagined it as pieshaped, but then i thought why not separate the slices . And you could climb from slice to slice on ladders made of cheese. stick figure burps hmm. Cheese is not the best building material. Oh. I guess the whole idea is pretty ridiculous. No, it isnt. I made a building once that looked just like a pair of binoculars see . A great building can be inspired by anything. The question is, can it be built . I dont think one tree could support all that. Thats why i decided to use ten trees. I couldnt fit everyones wishes into one design so i spread it out. That way, binky can have his wrestling arena. Sue ellen can have her art studio and so on and so on. And they would all be connected by bridges so we could visit each other. clang chuckles meanly i like how you incorporated the surrounding space, but theres no place for you all to hang out together. Isnt that the main purpose of your tree house . Brain theres room for the whole school in my design. coughs presenting the worlds tallest tree house. Kids whoa cool thats not a tree house its built on the ground. True, but it will bring millions of tourists to elwood city and revitalize our sluggish economy. Its a bold vision, brain, but that would cost a fortune to build. Brain i know. I spent three months of allowance on the toothpicks alone. sneezes and then i got a cold waiting for the glue to dry. All your ideas are excellent but i dont think you have your tree house yet. That only leaves one option we hang out at muffys. Or you could go back to the drawing board and try working together this time. hammering frank strong lines a harmonious composition i love it. See, i told you you could come up with something new that you would all like. Francine its pretty much what we had before. We just couldnt improve on the original design. The key is finding a design that reflects your vision, and thats what you did. And we built it ourselves. Well, how can you beat that . Here its a poster of something i designed. If youre ever in spain, you should check it out. Arthur to my friends in elwood city, frank gehry. That was frank gehry . I dont believe it hes one of the greatest architects of our time. This is the museum he designed in bilbao, spain which people from all over the world travel to see. Whoa and you thought my pizza house was far out. Kids and now. My name is chris, and this is my thirdgrade class. Were talking about buildings, and we looked at pictures of very interesting buildings. That looks like a church made out of sand. This one here looks like a cup. Teacher we would like you to go and design your dream building. Want some crayons . Chris we are drawing a picture of a dream building. This is a building for people to skate in. Its an awesome place to skate at. Girl this building is colorful and you can have birthday parties in the middle of it. Kids surprise it has polka dots on it and its very colorful because i want people to remember where it is. This is a building where you go to be a baseball player. It looks like a baseball building because it has a pitcher a baseball and a field. bat cracks; crowd cheering and if you cant really find a place to park, theres a parking lot right here. horns honking it looks like a dog its a place for dogs and more than 100 dogs fit in this building. dogs barking people are teaching the dogs how to talk like humans. Hello. Whats up . This building up here is a place where dogs can get their teeth cleaned. dentists tool whirring this is daycare center. This is where the little kids go and take their nap and this is where they play. This is different because its my idea. And now. Mr. Haney attention, boys and girls. I have an announcement regarding your chorus trip to crown city. Starting today, all plastic garbage should. Wrong announcement. chuckles where is that thing . Ah, singing at bartleby hall it almost makes repeating third grade worth it. Really . Im nervous singing to all those people. Im not talking about the concert im talking about finkelmeyers the place ms. Krasny takes us to afterwards. Its the best deli in crown city the pastrami sandwiches are so big you need to sit on a telephone book to eat them after half of one, you think youll never be able to eat again but when they bring the cheesecake. sighing you make room. dreamily finkelmeyers. Ah here we go. Ms. Krasny will not be able to take you to crown city this year. Oh, the humanity but weve managed to find you a replacement. Both dr. Fugue . yeeha fugue who am i . Dr. Frederique fugue pianist, private tutor musicologist. What is my goal . To make sure youre ready to sing at bartleby hall at 4 00 p. M. This friday. Questions . Dr. Fugue . I have a. in raspy voice a sore throat. May i be excused . No. If you sing from the diaphragm you will not strain your vocal cords. But you may have a flavorless lozenge. Right enough chitchat. Well begin with scales. After me. Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do. Class off key do, re, mi. Stop arthur, fern, muffy and binky, youre flat. Well start again and continue until everyone is on key. Class melodically . Fa, sol, la, ti, do. Good. That time you were all pitchperfect. Remember, a chorus sings as one voice. All it takes is one rotten apple to spoil the bushel. Now, for your homework. Class homework . aw, man screeching as i was saying, for homework you are all to pick a song to sing in class. It will help me decide who will sing the solo. What . but i have the solo part ms. Krasny gave it to me if your singing merits it, perhaps i shall as well. Good day. Francine you had him as piano teacher and survived . Hes strange but he is a good teacher. Binky hes the best. Thats why im not singing. Others what . why not . Because im a lousy singer once dr. Fugue really hears my voice, hell lose all respect for me. Youll miss finkelmeyers think of the pastrami, binky oh, im going on the trip. Ive got it all worked out. Morning bells are ringing ding dang dong inhales ding dang dong. applause and cheering impressive range, francine. If you learn to control your breathing you could become an excellent singer. Does that mean i get the solo . Ill let you know when ive made my decision. Lets begin our song the very appropriate in the good old summertime, which will take a bite out of winter. Has anyone seen binky . Binky here i am did i miss the solo tryouts . Oh, darn lousy watch the battery must have died.

More feeling enunciate give it some. Gusto class you hold her hand and she holds yours and thats a very good sign that shes your tootsiewootsie in the good old summertime. Well, the tempo was good the phrasing was accurate, and the pitch was perfect. But theres one very important thing youre not doing. I knew it was too good to be true youre not having fun. Did you know there are 21 chandeliers in bartleby hall each glittering with hundreds of pieces of crystal . When you take the stage, the chandeliers rise toward the ceiling and dim and resemble stars on a cloudless night. Then there is a silence, which is at once frightening and thrilling, because in seconds it will be filled with your voice. And when the conductor lowers his baton it feels like you are not singing alone, but with the help of all the beautiful voices that ever echoed in that theater. La fugue that, my friends is what you have to look forward to tomorrow. Enjoy it especially you, francine. Theres nothing worse than a glum soloist. Yes bell rings class dismissed. Get a good nights sleep. Binky dr. Fugue . I have something to tell you. Youve been lipsynching all week . But. How did you. . Oldest chorus trick in the book.

The road is closed what . brakes squealing blond with sand and a pair of life preservers better fire up the second griddle, remy. We got a busload comin in. Francine but what about the concert . If we stop, well never make it in time youre letting the draft in. Therell be no cases of grippe on my watch. Another coffee if you please. Sadie and i had theater tickets. What a pity. We dont get out much. Its just not fair. We did all that practicing for nothing. I didnt, but i was going to sing anyway. Ill probably never get another chance to perform at bartleby hall. Ah, all that cheesecake. Hey, you think were sad . Check out dr. Fugue. Poor guy. He must be crushed watch ticking right chorus, assemble, please come, come were wasting time. Obviously, the acoustics are not as good as they are at bartleby hall so you should project a little more. Other than that, remember to smile and. Dr. Fugue, what are we doing . Performing, of course. Its 4 00. No way were in a diner ive played humbler venues. kids complaining whistles shrilly i am very proud of this chorus and youve worked too hard not to hear how good youve become. plays single note class theres a time in each year that we always hold dear good old summertime when the birds and the treeses and sweetscented breezes good old summertime in the good old summertime in the good old summertime. solo strolling through a shady lane with your baby mine.
