No, i will not do the tightrope or the trapeze or back flips or anything else that catherine did slams door quietly catherine, catherine catherine, catherine. yawns might as well just call myself catherine ii. Thats what everyone wants. dramatic music plays announcer you loved catherine, the greatest action hero ever known and now, from the producers of catherine. Its catherine ii francine yes, its catherine ii shes kind of back and shes almost as great as the first one. Almost. Sort of. alarm blares if you loved catherine youll probably at least like catherine ii. I liked the first one, but this just didnt work for me. Yeah, sequels are never as good. Just a sequel, huh . Well see about that. in fake french accent hello, binky, Arthur Francine . What are you wearing . in fake accent i am just trying a Little Something new something, how you say, unique . Now i am not so much like the catherine, nest blah . Maybe, but shes nothing like francine either. Hello, everyone. Im fishface your clowning instructor.

You with the beret whats your name . clears throat yksnerf. Yksnerf . Theres no yksnerf on the attendance sheet. Theres a frensky. Thats yksnerf spelled backwards. in fake accent uh, it must be how you say . The typo. Sounds reasonable. How about trying the unicycle . Great another thing for me to stink at. Okay, its all a matter of balance. Try pedaling a little. Thats it look youre doing it whoa. fishface stop i cant yelling crash kids laughing sorry. Are you okay . Everything hurts but thats normal. Im getting pretty good at this. Oof poor francine. Only two days until the performance and she still cant do a somersault. I really hope she doesnt embarrass herself.

I cant watch. laughter oof audience laughing applause Arthur Francine that was the funniest thing ever. You were the hit of the show thanks, guys. But i owe it all to this guy. No, no, you were a natural. When francine told me she was ready to take clowning seriously, well. chokes up it just got to me. squeaking theres my girl. Im so proud of you. I, um, was never very good at clowning myself. I think i will take those circus clothes you gave me. That frilly pink shirt could be pretty funny in a clown routine. Its already so ridiculous. It is not that shirt is haute couture. Is that french for dorkylooking . Forget it. Kids and now. Thats my sister and thats my brother. Sean is my older brother. Im sean. Tim is my twin. My name is tim. Theyre both twins. Theyre my brothers. Were siblings. We like gymnastics. Sean we are like francine and catherine because they compete against each other and we compete against each other and do our best. This is our home gym in our garage where we have gymnastics equipment. This is the pommel horse. This is the bar. Sister the beam is something you try to balance on the best as you can. You can make your own beam like this one right here. Its made with wood and carpet. Sean you could also get a beam thats homemade a regular storebought trampoline, and you can use mattresses to help pad. We also do sport acrobatics. Sport acrobatics involves people balancing on each other and moves that are very difficult. Meghan puts her hands on seans knees, she puts her shoulders on his hands. Meghan presses up to a handstand and then does a stag and presses back down. And thats the candlestick. Sean if you dont have equipment, you could climb trees, and thats a lot like gymnastics. And now. humming happily ooh can i see wacky zack, the zombie king . No. Mom, its just a comedy. Binkys mom took him and. Arthur, its rated pg13. Youre not seeing it. But.

Todays show is full of grueling activities like hiking and foraging in nature. Helen you guys, its a nice day. What are you doing inside . Trying to fit todays words in one sentence. Well have a seminar with an astrophysicist. Telescope, identify. There were a couple words just hanging out at the end there. You just need inspiration. Mr. Director . Background number 201g, please. Can you put the stars in . Wow cool watch for all the words about nature and stars and well see you at the end of the show. Whats more relaxing than just staring at the sky . I like it when you have a week off from school like this. Guys, did you forget . Neil Degrasse Tyson is at the library in ten minutes neil who . Hes an astrophysicist. Astrophysicist thats a longhair breed. Why is a dog at the library . Im curious. Lets go hes not a dog. An astrophysicist is a scientist who studies stars, space and everything in the whole universe. Hes the director of the Hayden Planetarium which is the greatest place on earth that doesnt sell hot dogs. We signed up for his weeklong seminar, remember . Lets go barks nobody but skits followed me and hes the only one whos not signed up for the seminar. I dont remember signing up for any seminar. Whats a seminar . A seminar is a small class about a special topic led by an expert. This is a seminar on space led by neil Degrasse Tyson whos an expert on space. Count me out. I dont want to do anything more grueling than looking at the sky. Thats exactly what well be doing. Astrophysics involves lots of observing the sky. I can do that. Tyson welcome. In this seminar, were going to observe and experience the universe. Im neil degr. Neil Degrasse Tyson whoohoo come on, everybody, stand up thats not necessary. But if i do something great, feel free. Ooh ooh question we havent even begun, but okay. I was very upset with scientists when you wouldnt allow pluto to be called a planet anymore. But sometimes the truth hurts. Its part of growing up. Thank you for helping me see that. That wasnt a question but it sounds familiar. Wait a minute. Youre truman, the guy who sends me a long email every day at 3 37. I got one yesterday that must have been 500 lines long. Sounds like you didnt get the whole thing. Ill resend it. Im going to be a scientist. I would like to go to the moon. And id like to see you go, too. Im a fan of space exploration. You can start the seminar now. Thank you. There are 100,000 times more stars in the universe than words ever uttered by every human who has ever lived. All week, well have activities where youll observe the world and ask questions about it just like scientists. Actually, being curious is what most kids are like and a few dogs, too. Curious is good, right . Its not like furious . No. Curious means excited to learn new things. If youre curious about something, you want to know more about it. Pick a buddy and observe the night sky together. Youll share your observations here tomorrow. In case i find one is climbing aboard a ufo unwise without a parent or guardian . Technically, if you can climb aboard it its no longer a ufo. Ufo stands for unidentified flying object. If youve identified it as a spaceship its no longer unidentified. Oh, hes good. If you must board a ufo, first get your parents permission but then, most importantly bring back evidence. When those aliens are busy doing Something Else, just pick up an alien coffee mug as evidence and then bring it back. Evidence, okay. Helen hey, helen. Want to work on that with me, star partner . Uh. Oh alice needs me more. Alice, be my star buddy . Alice yeah, sure. You dont want to team up with td . No. Hell look for ufos and do goofy td stuff. Whoevers with him wont get anything out of this seminar. Star partners . Uh. Im with. Her and me him. Us. Buddies is there anything more amazing than this vast universe . Lets discover that together partner. I take this very seriously. Promise youll work hard . So hard were going to discover stuff nobodys ever heard of. You guys see anything good . Yeah. Did you know the moon moves across the sky . Yes, it not only rises and sets like the sun which is due to the earths rotation but the moon also moves against the background stars because it orbits the earth. I always thought it just hung there. We spotted the constellation orion, the hunter. Im charting it. Ever wonder how the stars knew how to line up and form pictures . No. I dont find stars interesting. Not even the dog star . Dog star . Theres a dog star . Its only the brightest star in the night sky. Hear that . Brightest star dog. Its the eye of the canis major constellation. Canis major means great dog in latin. Great dog. How right is that . Remind me to lick the next astrophysicist i see. And. Done here, td, take this home to look at so you know what we saw. Sure. Thanks. So td isnt causing problems . No. I think hes going to learn a lot. Wow, there are lots of stars truman didnt even use. We observed the moonrise last night and when we woke up this morning, it was setting. It doesnt just hang there. applause huh . That was for the dog star. Were next. I charted a constellation that we observed. See if you can guess which one. Show them, td. You want to check it first . gasps why . Td i added more stars and connected them to see what picture they made. My observation you cant connect just any stars and get pictures. Looks like you observed the scribbley constellation. audience laughing interesting experiment, guys. Interesting experiment, guys, he said. He thinks i had some part in that mess. I thought adding more stars would make a better picture. I wanted to surprise you. Mission accomplished. Ever seen a telescope before martha . Ive heard the word, but i dont know what a telescope does. A telescope is a tool that helps us see things very far away. It makes them look bigger and closer. martha licks her lips up close, the moon looks delicious. Id like a taste. Dont worry, i wouldnt eat the whole thing. Or would i . Truman, is that dot mars . Yes. You can get a better view through my telescope. The best views of mars came from the mars rovers, robots that drove around on the planet and sent back pictures. Ooh, where do we get one of those . You cant buy a mars rover, td. Maybe i could make one. I took photos of the moon through my telescope and printed them out. Hold it, truman were getting a transmission from the planet mars. What are you doing now . Roll em, professor pictures are coming in from our tdtruman martian rover. Theres the surface of mars now. Rocky. oohs and ahhs this actually isnt bad. Is that a garden hose . The exact makeup of the martian surface will require further research, truman. barking in video td so will that thing. Yay, skits audience laughing all you did was strap a camera to a lawn mower. Truman . Do you know why truman ran out . You embarrassed him in front of his hero. Hes taking these activities seriously but you make it look like he doesnt. I can see that and im a dog. I take it seriously. I couldnt really get a mars rover, so i did my best. What else can i do . You could prove to him how serious you can be. Oh. I can do that. Truman i didnt mean to embarrass you in front of that important astrophysics guy. Im sorry. Apology accepted. Now, im busy. What are we doing . The goal of this activity is to identify possible pieces of outer space here on earth. Identify . If you identify something, you figure out what it is. Or you could identify someone by saying who it is. I would identify you as the guy who just threw away what looked like a piece of a meteor which i handed to him to examine. Oops. So were looking to identify something thats made of the same stuff thats out there . Exactly. This will be our last presentation for dr. Tyson so i want it to be just right. Okay. Ill bring a piece of the universe to the seminar. I am not looking forward to this. By knowing how to identify the north star sailors were able to find their way. Hundreds of years before gps and computers. Knowing about the night sky can keep you from getting lost. Thank you, ronald and carolina. Truman and td, were all looking forward to your final presentation. You said youd bring a piece of the universe. I did. Go ahead and start. I foraged for samples of. How can i trust you . Youre standing here with nothing if you brought something for our final presentation, where is it . Its you. Me . Me, too. All of us. The molecules, and the atoms that form the molecules that make up everything in the universe, are like the atoms that make up the human body. groans hes right. Hes right . everyone gasps we are in the universe and the universe is in us. Youve got to love that. All oh. I have to say i didnt make that up. I used the library and read a bunch of things and stuff. He just read it, he didnt discover it. Thats not being a scientist. Scientists dont just discover. We read and do research and then build on that research to go even further. Tyson by doing research and passing along his findings to us td acted like a scientist. Everything hes done shows that he thinks like a scientist. applause he did it to me again. Neil Degrasse Tyson, my hero thinks im just the goofy kid who was tds partner. Tyson truman . This dog. Martha. Martha just spoke to me, which was a surprise. She said you were unhappy, which was also a surprise. I didnt want to look bad in front of you. Look bad . Nobody wanted td for a partner. You were the only one who saw that he has the makings of a real scientist. Huh . But he spends all his time making stuff up. Einstein, a smart guy himself, once said imagination is more important than knowledge. So to discover stuff takes imagination, too. Absolutely. You and td make a great team. Thats kind of frightening. Why dont you both investigate the science of how a dog can talk . Oh, its all in the alphabet soup. Thats it . Ill tell you more if you tell me more about the dog star. Youve got a deal. And now that were in the far reaches of our solar system we will give a presentation about the planet saturn. Hold it. What does that mean . Saturn . Its the name of the planet there, the one with the rings. No, what does presentation mean . A presentation is when someone makes a speech or a report to a group of people. So if we float here and we tell them all about saturn were giving a presentation about saturn . A presentation with great visual aids like the actual planet saturn. Id say we went a long way to make this a good presentation. Yes, 743 million miles from earth. Im curious about one thing. When the presentation is over, how do we get home . Um. Our next presentation how to get home from saturn. Help hey, guys td, what happened . it looks like you got blasted by a sonic boom. loudly sorry, i cant hear. I just got blasted by a sonic boom. Im building the first model airplane to break the sound barrier. Its my summer activity. Oh, that sounds fun. No, its an activity. An activity is something you spend time doing like a project. I know what an activity is, td. No, i dont want any toast. But thanks. Hey, truman. sighs deeply whats the matter . Camp winnetka is closing. Its in todays paper. Oh, but i thought you were going to visit your grandparents this summer instead of going to camp. I am. But its not me im worried about, its milo. He was supposed to go this year. Hell be devastated when he hears the news. I guess hell have to come up with another activity for the summer. You dont understand. Ive never seen milo this excited about anything. Hes been packing for camp since christmas. All right a duffle bag milo, dont you want to open up your other presents . Of course. Just a soon as im done packing for camp. It seems like all he does is talk about camp winnetka. Im going to camp winnetka see what i mean . But wouldnt the camp have called milos dad by now to tell him that theyre closing . How could they do that if theyre already closed . Huh, good point. A coffee pot . Why do you want a coffee pot . He was doing another experiment, right . Yup. Well, truman, i guess youll just have to break the news to milo. I cant crush another one of his dreams. Last week milo found out the ice cream parlor stopped serving Peanut Butter swirl, his favorite flavor. One more piece of bad news could shock milos system and destroy his ability to experience joy. Forever. Life. Dull. Running through mud. Nothingness. Dirt. Laugh . No. No more joy. Which is why milo can never know how much fun hes missing out on. This is all my fault. I was the one who told him how much fun it was going to be. Thats it ill do a minicamp for him. Only ill make it so miserable and grueling that he wont want to go to real camp. Thanks for agreeing to help, by the way. But we. Wait, what did he say . All i heard was something about tacos. loudly well fill you in later. Okay, okay. But you dont have to yell. All right, campers camp truman is now in session milo, im sure youre curious about camp. Well, camp truman will give you a feel for what camp is really like. That way youll be prepared for. Camp winnetka thanks for doing this, guys. No problem. Of course this is going to be so much fun dont get too excited. You see, camp is not all fun and games. Really . The brochure says, camp winnetka is all fun and games. From sunup to. Well, thats wrong. Ive been there, and i can tell you camp is grueling exhausting hard work. Wait, grueling . Is that anything like drooling . Because thats easy. No, martha. Grueling means something thats really tiring and really hard to do. So whats our first activity . The most important part of camp is making sure that you have a clean and tidy campsite. Sorry, martha. I guess you cant help with the cleaning. What are you talking about . Im a great cleaner. humming as she licks ooh, theres a muffin crumb ah somebody spilled a soda truman, dont you think this is clean enough . Nope, the campground must be impeccable. Come on, truman. You could eat off this driveway. I have eaten off this driveway. Well, theres still dirt on the ground. Thats because its the ground. Cant we do Something Else . Dont worry, milo will get tired and quit soon. Td yeah score hey, cleaning up like this is fun td, you have to stop making things fun. Milos supposed to be having a bad time, remember . Oh, sorry. All right, the campground is clean enough. Our next activity is kp kitchen patrol oh, i know all about that. Im always patrolling the kitchen for scraps. Kitchen patrol is an essential part of camp life. At real camp you spend a lot of time doing tasks like washing dishes. Sorry you cant help out martha. Thats okay. Ill just patrol the kitchen for crumbs. Truman, were almost done with the dirty dishes and milo doesnt seem to be having a terrible time. Are you kidding me . Hes miserable. Look at him. Hey, td awesome watch this laughs this is fun. Td bubble fight laughs all right, kitchen patrol is over aw, but my fingers were just starting to get wrinkly. Td, you have to stop making things fun. Milo is supposed to be having a bad time, remember . I cant help it. Fun just follows me wherever i go. laughing see what i mean . All right, another very important part of camp is snack time how are you going to make snack time grueling . Trust me. Camp is about learning survival skills. So instead of me giving you a snack youll have to forage for it yourself. Oh, thats easy. I forage all the time. In fact. When you forage for something, you look or search for it. All of our food comes from nature, but finding it is a hard grueling job. There are no Grocery Stores in the wilderness. So your task is to forage for your snack. Can you believe somebody threw out this perfectly good garbage . Well, what are you all waiting for . Dig in uh, no thanks. Well, suit yourselves. Just means more snack for me. Kids ew. Also, before you can eat what youve foraged, i have to check it out in this the complete wilderness guide to edible plants. Mother nature can be a harsh mistress. Many colorful plants are deadly poison, so i will have to confirm that each and every item you forage is safe to eat. Okay, campers, lets get foraging hmm. sniffs ew watch. Milo is going to get so frustrated and hungry theres no way hell want to go to camp. Milo hey, guys look what i was able to forage what is it . Its a wild blueberry medley on a bed of dandelion greens with a few nasturtium petals for color. I want a taste wait i need to identify these plants to make sure theres nothing poisonous. Well, are they dangerous . sighs no, its all stuff you can eat. Wow delicious all right, snack time is over. Truman, i dont think your plan is working very well. Just a little longer. If the tasks arent wearing him down ill just have to show him how tiring camp is. The next activity at camp truman is hiking. Im curious, is that something a dog can do . Sure. Hiking just means youre going on a really long walk. Really . I think im going to like hiking at camp, you may have to hike through the wilderness for long distances with heavy packs on your backs. Thats why ive filled your backpacks with rocks. A grueling hike is the perfect way to send milo over the edge. truman huffing and puffing i think. Its working. Were wearing. Milo. Out. So. Are you tired yet . Oh, this is nothing. I used to walk home from school with my backpack filled with heavy books. In fact, im really enjoying this because it reminds me of walking through my old neighborhood. Hike is over time for swimming swimming . Come on, truman, swimming is always fun. Not at camp truman. blows whistle hey, no roughhousing but i was just scratching my nose. blows whistle no splashing youre going to have to get used to pool rules. At camp winnetka the pool has all sorts of rules. Really . Like what . All sorts of stuff like no swimming backwards no wearing yellow, no dogs allowed. Sorry, martha. Eh, story of my life. I got this great new comic book. blows whistle no talking about comic books this is. sighs really nice. Just hanging out and relaxing. blows whistle all right, truman, this has gone far enough blows whistle no standing up and saying, this has gone far enough groans truman, your plan isnt working. And its getting late. And i want to go do actual fun stuff. Sorry, truman. Were going home. Wait if making camp grueling and boring didnt work making camp too scary for milo will. Helen a flashlight . Well, im not allowed to play with matches. So instead of roasting marshmallows well just have to air them out. Mmm, they do taste better aired out. And now its time for scary stories, which are a big part of camp. Just watch. Milo wont even want to hear the word camp once im done with this story. Once upon a time. And the footsteps got closer and closer and. screams im starting to get really scared. Me too. Im starting to scare myself. I cant finish the story. Camp is over milo, i hope you realize that camp is grueling, tiring and really scary so everyone will understand if you dont want to go to camp winnetka anymore. Are you kidding . Today was so much fun if camp winnetka is even half as good as camp truman ill have a blast truman, you have to tell him. Tell me what . I hate to break it to you, milo, but camp winnetka is closed. No, its not. Its in the newspaper camp winnetka closes its doors. But thats only half the paper. Wheres the rest of it . Hmm. Ahoy, matie oh, yeah. Camp winnetka closes its doors. And reopens at a brandnew facility. Oh, how about that . Anyway, its been fun. But i have to go home and finish packing. Well, i think weve all learned something today. sighs hey, milo how was camp . It was pretty fun, i guess. You guess . Well, the whole time i was there, i kept thinking about how much more fun it would be if you guys were there. I really like you guys. We think youre great youre the best, milo. Which is why we should have camp truman every day. For the rest of the summer what do you say . Im tired. Im building a model airplane. Huh . Was it something i said . Who knows. Hey, do you want to go foraging for snacks and hiking around the neighborhood . What are we waiting for . One of the most fun activities at camp is a singalong. Heres a song about how much i love nature. From the mountains to the valley from sea to shining sea theres nature all around us, so many things to see just keep the bugs and the bats and the snakes and the fleas away from me but truman, bugs and bats and even fleas are part of nature. Tell me about it. Yeah, nature is pretty much all plants and animals anything you find outside that wasnt made by people. I know, but i just dont like the part of nature that can bite you. Just keep the bugs and the bats and the snakes and the fleas and the birds and the moss. What do you have against birds and moss . Birds can be really noisy. And moss just gives me the creeps. Everybody just keep the bugs and the bats and the snakes and the fleas away from me did you catch all the words about nature and the stars . Here are a few again. An astrophysicist is a scientist who studies stars, space and everything in the whole universe. Grueling means something thats really tiring and really hard to do. An activity is something you spend time doing like a project. Thats our show. Come on, martha. Come play mr. Director, could we have some sticks . Thanks td come on, go get it whos that dog . Whos that dog . Dog, dddog, ddog. That dog is decota. I got decota at mspca angell. They have an Adoption Center there. Woman do you want to take that dog for a walk . Yeah. Woman so youre all set.
