YOU KNOW, T-BONE'S RIGHT.
THIS IS A GREAT PILE OF LEAVES,
ALL CRUNCHY AND STUFF.
YEAH! I CAN'T WAIT TO JUMP IN AND HEAR 'EM CRACKLIN'!
YEAH. ME, TOO.
CLIFFORD, YOU'RE NOT THINKING OF JUMPING IN THOSE LEAVES

OH, IT WOULD BE SO GREAT TO HEAR 'EM!
YEAH, IT WOULD!
AND WE COULD ALWAYS MAKE ANOTHER PILE.
YEAH, WE COULD!
SO WE SHOULD...
GO AHEAD AND JUMP IN!
YEAH, WE SHOU--
WAIT A MINUTE.
DIDN'T YOU PROMISE T-BONE YOU'D TAKE CARE
OF PILE OF LEAVES FOR HIM, CLIFFORD?
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
SO I GUESS WE'D BETTER NOT...JUMP IN THEM!
[GROANS]
I CAN'T RESIST!
WAIT, BIG GUY!
OHH...THAT WAS FANTASTIC!
HUH?
HEY! COME BACK HERE! WOOF!
STOP! COME BACK!
RUFF, RUFF! WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
THOSE ARE T-BONE'S LEAVES! STOP!
OH, NO! T-BONE'S LEAVES ARE GONE!
NOT...ALL OF THEM.
OH, CLEO, WHY DID I HAVE TO JUMP ON THE PILE?
DON'T WORRY, CLIFFORD.
WE CAN JUST... MAKE ANOTHER PILE.
NO, WE CAN'T.
I PROMISED T-BONE I'D TAKE CARE OF THIS PILE.
I PROMISED!
WELL, YEAH...
BY THOSE LEAVES ARE ALL OVER THE ISLAND BY NOW.
YOU CAN'T GET 'EM BACK.
I CAN TRY!
WHAT?!
I HAVE TO, CLEO.
A PROMISE IS A PROMISE.
BUT CLIFFORD...

[SIGHS] SOMETIMES IT'S HARD BEING SUCH A GREAT FRIEND.
[RUFF, RUFF, RUFF, RUFF]

CLIFFORD, DON'T...

WELL, CLIFFORD, YOU DID IT!
YOU GOT BACK EVERY SINGLE LEAF!
COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.
WE'RE A GOOD TEAM.
LOOK AT THEM.
I BET THEY'RE GONNA SOUND SO CRUNCHY.
AHH...THEY SURE ARE!
WOULDN'T YOU JUST LOVE TO TAKE ONE TINY PRACTICE JUMP?
YEAH! I WOULD!
BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO.
JUST ONE TEENY, TINY LITTLE JUMP?
YOU COULDN'T ANYTHING TEENY TINY.
IT WOULD BE TEENY TINY. I PROMISE!
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME YOU MADE A PROMISE?
YEAH. I GUESS I SHOULD ONLY MAKE A PROMISE
IF IT'S ONE I CAN KEEP.
OK. NO JUMPING.
NOTHING'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO T-BONE'S LEAVES.
OH, NO, YOU DON'T!
YOU'RE STAYING RIGHT HERE.
[RUFF RUFF RUFF]
Cleo: T-BONE!
HOW WAS YOUR GAME OF FETCH WITH SHERIFF LEWIS?
GREAT!
CLIFFORD AND I HAD A PRETTY GOOD GAME OF, UH...
FETCH, TOO!
THAT IS, WHEN WE WEREN'T WATCHING YOUR LEAVES.
I KNEW CLIFFORD WOULD TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM.
HE PROMISED!
THANKS, CLIFFORD.
YOU'RE...WELCOME, T-BONE.
AND LOOK!
THAT WIND KNOCKED DOWN A MILLION MORE BROWN LEAVES!
WHY DON'T WE SWEEP 'EM ALL
INTO ONE BIG MONSTER-CRUNCHY PILE?
YOU WANNA?
YEAH!
SURE!
MY PILE OF LEAVES IS GONNA BE THE BIGGEST, LOUDEST,
CRUNCHIEST PILE OF LEAVES ANY DOG HAS EVER, EVER SEEN!
THIS IS GONNA CRUNCH FROM HERE TO THE MOON!
IT SURE IS!
AND CLIFFORD,
HOW'D YOU LIKE TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO JUMP IN?
YOU MEAN IT?
OF COURSE!
OK, CLIFFORD.

[ALL LAUGHING]
LET'S PILE 'EM UP AND DO IT AGAIN!
YEAH! IT'LL BE GREAT!
I PROMISE.
IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE,

[GASP] OH!
THE FAMOUS ARTIST, HOOPER VAN PIG,
IS ABOUT TO DRAW A PICTURE.
DONE.
I LOVE IT!
IT'S A...
BIG RED DOG. I CALL HIM...
CLIFFORD.
COME ON, CHARLEY! YOU CAN DO IT!
GO, CHARLEY!
IF WE CAN GET THE BALL PAST THIS GOALIE,
WE CAN GET IT PAST ANY GOALIE!
[RUFF RUFF]
WE CAN DO IT, CHARLEY. I KNOW WE CAN.
GO, CHARLE
SHOOT!
[GRUNTS]
[WOOF]
YES!
GREAT!
ALL RIGHT!
DID YOU SEE THAT?
[KIDS LAUGHING]
HA HA. HEY!
YOU'RE THE BEST, CHARLEY!
[TWIRR]
RECESS OVER!
OK, CLASS.
NEXT MONDAY WILL BE SILLY SPORTS DAY HERE AT SCHOOL.
[EXCITED CHATTER]
WHAT'S SILLY SPORTS DAY, MISS CARRINGTON?
WELL, VAZ, IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE OLYMPICS,
BUT INSTEAD OF SERIOUS SPORTS, WE DO SILLY STUFF.
LAST YEAR, I DID THE CREAM PIE LONG JUMP.
I JUMPED AS FAR AS I COULD INTO A HUGE WHIPPED CREAM PIE!
AND I DID THE MILE-LONG BIKE RACE
ON A LITTLE TRICYCLE.
SOUNDS LIKE FUN!
THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, VAZ.
HAVING FUN.
SO EVERYONE PLEASE PICK AN EVENT FROM THE HAT.
THE FIELD WILL BE SET UP THIS WEEKEND,
SO YOU CAN PRACTICE IF YOU'D LIKE.
BUT REMEMBER, THIS ISN'T SOMETHING TO WIN AT.
IT'S A DAY TO HAVE FUN.
[GASPS] I GOT THE FEATHER PILLOW TOSS.
WHAT DID YOU GET, CHARLEY?
JIGGLY JUGGLING.
YOU'LL BE GREAT AT THAT!
YOU'RE GOOD AT EVERYTHING.
[ANNOYED] GREAT!
I GOT THAT MESSY OLD CREAM PIE LONG JUMP.
IT IMESSY.
LAST YEAR, I GOT SO COVERED IN WHIPPED CREAM,
THEY PUT MY PICTURE IN THE PAPER.
THE NEWSPAPER?
UH-HUH. WANNA TRADE?
OH, UH...HA. NO, THANKS, EMILY ELIZABETH.
THE CREAM PIE LONG JUMP SOUNDS PERFECT FOR ME.
JUGGLING 3 SQUISHY JIGGLIES
WILL BE WAY TOO EASY!
I THINK I'LL TRY JUGGLING 6.
6? WOW!
IF ANYONE CAN DO IT, YOU CAN, CHARLEY.
HI, CLIFFORD!
WANNA HELP ME PRACTICE
MY PILLOW-TOSSING TOMORROW, BOY?
[WOOF]
LET'S MEET HERE TOMORROW MORNING
AND PRACTICE TOGETHER.
GREAT! SEE YOU THEN.
WOW!
ARE YOU PLANNING TO EAT
ALL OF THAT WIGGLY GELATIN?
THIS IS FOR SILLY SPORTS DAY, DAD.
I'M GONNA BE A JIGGLY JUGGLER.
HA HA HA HA! YOU'LL BE GOOD AT THAT.
OOPS! SORRY.
I'LL CLEAN IT UP.
THAT'S OK. BUT FROM NOW ON,
MAYBE YOU SHOULD PRACTICE OUTSIDE, HUH?
RIGHT!
 [GRUNTS] EH!
UHH!
WHOA!
HA HA HA!
I LOVE SLIME! THIS IS FUN!
HERE GOES THE PILLOW TOSS!
HMM...
THIS IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS.
AH...I KNOW I CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!
WOW! LOOK AT IT GO!
UH, CLIFFORD,
WERE YOU HELPING ME?
[WHINES]
YOU'RE A GOOD FRIEND, CLIFFORD,
AND I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP,
BUT YOU BLOWING ON THE PILLOW ISN'T FAIR.
I NEED TO DO IT MYSELF.
IT'S OK FOR NOW.
BUT YOU CAN'T DO IT ON SILLY SPORTS DAY, OK?
[WOOF WOOF]
[GIGGLING]
HEY, EVERYBODY, LOOK!
CHARLEY'S GONNA JIGGLY JUGGLE!
THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD!
OK...HERE GOES NOTHING.
THAT'S ONE.
UH...IT'S A CINCH.
OK...HERE COMES 3.
OK. I'LL GET IT.
[SQUISH]
HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA!
AW...
I NEED A SHOWER.
GEE, WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH CHARLEY?
I GUESS JUGGLING'S HARDER THAN HE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR SILLY SPORTS DAY,
ESPECIALLY YOUR EVENT-- HA HA HA--JIGGLY JUGGLING.
I DECIDED I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT.
OH?
JUGGLING'S TOO HARD.
YEAH, IT IS KIND OF HARD. HUH?
I NEVER COULD QUITE DO IT MYSELF.
[SQUISH]
OOH!
HA HA HA!
YOU LOOK SILLY, DAD.
HA HA. IT'S FUN JUST TO BE SILLY SOMETIMES.
YEAH, BUT I TOLD EVERYONE I WAS GONNA BE SO GOOD AT JUGGLING
THAT I'D JUGGLE 6 JIGGLY BAGS!
EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT GOOD AT IT, CHARLEY,
IT'S STILL FUN TO TRY NEW THINGS.
EVEN WHEN YOU MISS.
HA HA HA.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO TRY, SON.
JUST DO YOUR BEST AND ENJOY YOURSELF.
OK, DAD. THANKS.
HEY! I'M NOT SO BAD.
I'M TERRIBLE
I'M NEVER GOING TO JUGGLE AGAIN.
NEVER!
[WOOF]
[WHINES]
I CAN'T, CLIFFORD.
I'M NO GOOD ATHIS.
OK, OK!
I'LL TRY IT AGAIN. [WOOF]
IT IS KIND OF FUN, I GUESS.

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
I KNOW.
I LOOK A MESS.
WELL, EVERYTHING WAS A MESS UNTIL--
[SIGHS]
I BETTER START AT THE BEGINNING.
MRS. LANGLEY, OUR FAVORITE TEACHER OF ALL TIME.
NEEDED TO TAKE A BREAK FROM TEACHING TO HAVE HER BABY.
Kids: YEAH! YEAH!
GIVE ME A "B"!
"B"!
GIVE ME AN "A"!
"A"!
GIVE ME A "B"!
"B"!
GIVE ME A "Y"!
"Y"!
BECAUSE I SAID SO, THAT'S WHY.
Maya, voice-over: IT WAS THE BEST GOING AWAY FOR AWHILE PARTY EVER,
AND THEN WE GOT A SUBSTITUTE MATH TEACHER.
AND SO IF MARVIN HAS 12 MORE POINTS
IN THE BASKETBALL GAME THAN GRETA,
WHO HAS 16 LESS THAN MARK,
WHO IS 28 MORE THAN BILL, WHO HAS 20,
AND ALL THE POINTS CAN BE DIVIDED BY 4,
THAT GIVES MARVIN 44 POINTS.
EVERYONE GOT THAT?
GOOD. LET'S MOVE ON.
DID YOU FOLLOW THAT?
FOLLOW WHAT?
MR. SHUE? HI!
MRS. LANGLEY USED TO--
PLEASE TAKE OUT YOUR PENCILS.
MR. SHUE?
UM...
MR. SH--
HELLO, THERE.
GET READY TO TAKE A POP QUIZ.
 POP QUIZ?
HUH? POP QUIZ?
POP--
OH, I HAVE A HEADACHE.
10 MINUTES, THAT'S 600 SECONDS,
TO COMPLETE THE QUIZ.
 MR. SHUE, IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN--
599, 598, 597...
OK, LATER.
HE DIDN'T EVEN CALL ON ME.
I WAS PRACTICALLY STANDING ON MY HEAD.
I LOVED MATH WHEN MRS. LANGLEY TAUGHT IT.
SHE WAS SO NICE.
AT LEAST THE QUIZ WAS EASY.
EASY?
THAT WAST EASY. THAT WASN'T EASY.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
YEAH, IF WE DON'T, MR. SHUE COULD GIVE US A POP QUIZ EVERY DAY.
I MISS MRS. LANGLEY.
SO, ANY BIG IDEAS, MAYA?
I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING.
BIG IDEAS! BIG IDEAS!
I'M WORKING ON IT, PACO.
YOU CANNOT RUSH INSPIRATION.
MAYA, TODO EL MUNDO ES DIFERENTE.
I'M SURE ONCE YOU GET TO KNOW MR. SHUE
YOU'LL FIND HE'S A VERY NICE MAN.
GET TO KNOW HIM?
MAMA, HE WON'T EVEN LOOK AT US.
OH, COME ON.
YOU HAVEN'T EVEN GIVEN HIM A CHANCE.
MAYBE THIS WILL HELP YOU THINK.
[SQUAWKING]
WATCH THE TOES!
PACO, THAT'S MY SOCIAL STUDIES REPORT!
[GASPS]
ESO ES!
MIGUEL, YOU GAVE ME AN IDEA!
GRACIAS!
UH-OH.
MMM.
OK, TO GET TO KNOW MR. SHUE,
WE HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT HE LIKES.
SO JUST ASK HIM THESE QUESTIONS.
TELL HIM YOU'RE DOING A REPORT.
BUT MY REPORT IS ON THE HISTORY OF THE AUTOMOBILE, MAYA.
MIGUELITO, DO YOU WANT POP QUIZZES EVERY DAY?
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
OOPS.
SORRY.
MR. SHUE, I'M DOING A REPORT.
SO HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A NEW TEACHER?
I'M A SUBSTITUTE.
RIGHT, SUBSTITUTE TEACHER.
HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE SPORT?
NO.
A FAVORITE MOVIE?
NO.
MUSIC? NOT REALLY.
DANCE?
NEGATIVE.
COLOR. NOPE.
FLOWER?
UH-UH.
ANIMAL? YUCK.
VEGETABLE?
NOT REALLY.
ICE CREAM?
DEFINITELY NOT.
[BELL RINGS]
OH, THE BELL.
GOT TO GO.
THAT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.
THANK YOU, MR. SHUE.
THAT BOX!
IT'S FROM SENOR LOPEZ' BAKERY.
LO SIENTO, CHICAS.
I DON'T KNOW ANYONE NAMED MR. SHUE,
BUT WHILE YOU'RE HERE,
WHY DON'T YOU HELP ME FROST THESE MUFFINS?
[DOORBELL RINGS]
EXCUSE ME.
BUENOS DIAS, TOM.
YOU ARE BACK AGAIN TODAY.
MM-HMM.
IT'S HIM.
I'LL JUST GET YOU A COUPLE OF MUFFINS
WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RIGHT NOW.
CHICAS?
CELIA, POR FAVOR, DON'T LET HIM SEE US.
HERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU.
THAT WAS CLOSE.
MAGGIE, WATCH OUT!
AAH!
PHEW.
HE'S LEAVING.
THAT WAS HIM, CELIA.
TOM?
HE'S YOUR SCARY NEW TEACHER?
HE COMES IN EVERY MORNING.
A VERY NICE MAN.
BUENO!
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL US?
HE LIKES MUFFINS.
MUCHAS GRACIAS, CELIA,
BUT WE NEED TO KNOW MORE THAN JUST MUFFINS.
VAMONOS, AMIGAS.
AH.
HE'S LOOKING AT A TOY IN THE WINDOW.
TOYS TELL A LOT ABOUT A PERSON.
MAYBE HE LIKES BOARD GAMES.
I LIKE BOARD GAMES.
WE COULD TALK TO HIM ABOUT BOARD GAMES.
HMM.
IT'S A MATH PUZZLE.
I GUESS HE REALLY LIKES MATH.
AY!
[PACO SQUAWKING]
SO THE ONLY THING HE LIKES IS MATH.
AND MUFFINS.
MATH AND MUFFINS.
MUFFINS AND MATH.
MATH AND MUFFINS.
MUFFINS AND MATH.
ESO ES, PACO!
WHAT?
GUYS, IF MATH IS WHAT MR. SHUE LIKES,
THEN WE'LL TALK TO HIM ABOUT MATH.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
BUT I DON'T REALLY LIKE MATH.
WELL, UNLESS YOU LIKE POP QUIZZES EVERY DAY,
YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO TRY.
WE ALL NEED TO SHOW HIM HOW MUCH WE LOVE MATH.
WHY DON'T WE START A MATH CLUB?
MR. SHUE CAN BE OUR ADVISOR.
SI.
AND OUR FIRST CLUB ACTIVITY WILL BE CALLED "PROJECT MR. SHUE."
I LOVE IT!
LET'S DO IT.
GREAT!
PROJECT MR. SHUE.
BUBBLES!
FIRST THING, HIS FAVORITE MUFFINS.
HERE HE COMES.
HMM.
OK, MATH CLUB, FORWARD!
GOOD MORNING, MR. SHUE.
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ALL 45 MINUTES OF CLASS,
WHICH IS 3/4 OF AN HOUR, IF WE'RE TALKING FRACTIONS.
THAT WAS A FUN ASSIGNMENT, MR. SHUE.
I DID IT TWICE, WHICH IS ONE MORE TIME THAN YOU ASKED,
BUT GAVE ME DOUBLE THE FUN!
MR. SHUE, GUESS WHAT.
I CAN WALK TO SCHOOL IN 10 MINUTES,
BUT I CAN SKATEBOARD IN 3 MINUTES.
THAT MEANS I CAN SLEEP 7 MORE MINUTESSCHOOL IN THE MORNING.
HERE'S AN APPLE FOR YOU, SIR.
WITH MY BOOKS, I WEIGH 93 POUNDS./
THAT MEANS MY BOOKS MUST WEIGH 11 POUNDS.
HOWEVER, THE DENSITY OF THE BOOKS
IS GREATER THAN THAT OF MIGUEL'S BODY
BY A RATIO OF 7:4 OR 1.75.
VERY INTERESTING.
NOW EVERYONE TAKE YOUR SEATS.
YOU'VE INSPIRED US ALL SO MUCH IN ONE DAY, MR. SHUE.
WE'VE ALL DECIDED TO START A MATH CLUB
AND DO LOTS OF MATH PROJECTS.
I DESIGNED THE T-SHIRTS.
RED, BLUE, YELLOW, BUT NO GREEN.
GREEN DOES NOTHING FOR THE SKIN TONES.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WRITE THAT IN MATH BOOKS,
BUT IT'S TRUE.
AND WE'D LIKE YOU TO BE OUR MATH CLUB ADVISOR.
I'LL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT.
MR. SHUE, ACCORDING TO OUR COUNT,
100 KIDS ATE HOT LUNCH TODAY.
THAT MEANS IT'S LIKELY
THAT 500 KIDS EAT HOT LUNCH EVERY WEEK.
IF HALF OF THEM EAT THE MAC AND CHEESE
THAT IS SERVED IN 1/3 POUND PORTIONS, THAT'S--
83 1/3 POUNDS OF MAC AND CHEESE A WEEK!
EXCUSE ME. I'M ON MY LUNCH BREAK.
MR. SHUE, WE'RE USING MATH IN OUR DANCE.
WATCH!
1 AND A 2,
4 SHIMMIES AND 3 KICKS.
AND AGAIN.
[SIGHS]
MR. SHUE, WE MADE A HUMAN TRIANGLE!
OVER HERE, MR. SHUE!
WE MADE A SQUARE!
AND LOOK, MR. SHUE,
A CIRCLE!
IT'S A GOOD THING WE DIDN'T TRY THE DODECAHEDRON.
MAYA, DONDE ESTAS?
MAYA?
AQUI!
EN LAS BURBUJAS!
THERE ARE SO MANY BUBBLES.
I THINK WE USED TOO MUCH SOAP.
RAR!
WATCH OUT!
IT'S BUBBLE ANDY!
RAR!
I'M A BUBBLE ALIEN FROM OUTER SPACE,
TELLING YOU--WE HAVE TOO MUCH SOAP!
MAYA, AJUDANOS A SACAR EL JABON.
THAT CAR NEEDS SOME WATER, MIGUEL.
WE HAVE TO DO IT...
NOW.
Mr. Shue: WHAT'S GOING ON?
MR. SHUE, HI.
OUR MATH CLUB THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD PROBLEM
TO FIGURE OUT HOW MANY GALLONS OF WATER
WE WOULD NEED TO WASH YOUR CAR.
WE MEASURED YOUR CAR 13 FEET LONG.
AND WE USED 13 GALLONS OF WATER.
THAT'S 1 GALLON PER FOOT.
AND 2 PINTS OF SOAP.
WHICH WAS MAYBE 1 PINT TOO MANY.
BUT DON'T WORRY,
WE'RE READY TO WASH ALL THAT SOAP OFF.
OK, EVERYONE, WATER TIME!
1, 2, 3, AGUA!
HEY, IT SPARKLES.
IT'S SO CLEAN.
DO YOU LIKE IT, MISTER--
[GASPS]
OH, BOY.
OH.
13 FEET.
THAT REMINDS ME.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY THE BOY SLEPT
WITH THE RULER UNDER HIS PILLOW?
HE WANTED TO SEE HOW LONG HE COULD SLEEP.
HEY, THAT'S A GOOD ONE.
THAT'S FUNNY.
YOU SHOULD DO STAND-UP.
NOW THAT'S FUNNY.
PROGRESS: MR. SHUE TOLD US A JOKE.
AMAZING!
2 KICKS, 1 1/2 TURNS,
3 CLAPS, AND 1 TA-DA!
MEET OUR OFFICIAL MATH CLUB MASCOT.
3,100 PIECES.
WE HAD TO MULTIPLY THE NUMBERS
ON THE DIRECTIONS TO MAKE IT BIG.
GOOD WORK.
ALL RIGHT, STUDENTS,
LET'S ALL LOOK AT THE MATH THAT'S INVOLVED IN MAKING THIS MATH CLUB MASCOT.
WHO HAS QUESTIONS?
MAYBE HE'LL SAY YES TO BEING OUR ADVISOR NOW.
AND HE'S NOT EVEN WEARING GREEN.
MIGUEL, HELP ME WASH THE DISHES, PLEASE.
NEED MORE SOAP, MAYA.
SO, KIDS, HOW IS THE NEW MATH TEACHER?
FANTASTICO!
I LIKE TO MULTIPLY EVERYTHING NOW.
3 UTENSILS TIMES 4 PEOPLE EQUALS 12.
I FIGURED THAT IF I SAVE $1.50 EVERY WEEK,
THEN IN 11 WEEKS I CAN BUY 3 NEW COMIC BOOKS
AND A NEW VIDEO GAME.
MAMA, YOU WERE RIGHT.
WE JUST NEEDED TO GET TO KNOW MR. SHUE.
YEAH, HE'S GREAT.
AND HE DOESN'T EVEN WEAR GREEN ANYMORE.
MAYA, EL AGUA!
EL AGUA?
OH, THE WATER!
TOO MANY BUBBLES!
TOO MUCH SOAP!
NOT AGAIN.
LOOKS LIKE ABOUT 3.4 QUARTS OF WATER TO ME.
AS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER,
I'VE NEVER HAD A CLASS THAT GOT SO EXCITED ABOUT MATH.
TO REWARD YOUR EFFORTS TODAY,
I'VE PLANNED A FIELD TRIP.
YES! YES!
FIELD TRIP! FIELD TRIP!
THIS REALLY IS A FIELD TRIP.
SPORTS USE MATH ALL THE TIME.
LIKE TO ADD UP THE POINTS.
AND TIMING.
A GOOD QUARTERBACK ALWAYS KNOWS THE CLOCK, RIGHT?
EXACTLY.
NOW, YOU'LL EACH GO THROUGH THE COURSE HERE.
HURDLES, 100-YARD DASH,
LONG DISTANCE RUN, LONG JUMP, HIGH JUMP,
FRISBEE THROW,
I'VE GOT STOPWATCHES, TAPE MEASURES,OTHER./
PENCILS AND PAPER,
SO LET'S GO!
All: FIELD TRIP!
I LOVE IT!
AND WE'RE LEARNING A LOT OF MATH!
YEAH!
WOO-HOO!
I AM THE MAN!
ALL RIGHT!
YES!
YEAH!
YES!
WHOOPS!
 YEAH!
MR. SHUE, THE CLASS WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU
TO BE OUR OFFICIAL MATH CLUB ADVISOR.
YOU'RE THE BEST!
PLEASE?
YOU'RE A GREAT MATH TEACHER.
I'D BE HONORED.
WE'LL HAVE OUR FIRST MEETING TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
YEAH!
ALL RIGHT!
HEY!
SEE YOU AT MATH CLUB, MR. SHUE.
MAYA!
YOU DROPPED SOMETHING.
WHAT'S THIS?
UH-OH.
DON'T LOOK AT THAT, MR. SHUE.
"PROJECT MR. SHUE"?
I'M YOUR PROJECT?
MR. SHUE, UH, I CAN EXPLAIN.
MAYA, I THINK THE MATH CLUB SHOULD GET ANOTHER ADVISOR.
OH, NO.
THIS IS BAD.
NOW MR. SHUE THINKS IT WAS ALL A TRICK,
THAT WE DIDN'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE MATH CLUB.
AY. TODO ES UN DTRE.
PRETTY BIRD.
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO EXPLAIN.
HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK TO US.
MAYBE HE'D TALK TO YOU,
BUT NOT US.
YEAH, HE TALKS TO YOU ALL THE TIME
WHEN HE COMES HERE FOR YOUR MUFFINS.
ESO ES!
MUFFINS!
HEY!
TAKE IT EASY ON THE SHIRT, PLEASE.
OH, CELIA, I'D BET HE'D COME HERE TO TALK TO YOUR, RIGHT?
SO IF WE CAN UR KITCHEN...
YOU HAVE TO GET HIM HERE FIRST.
MUFFINS AND MATH.
MIEL, POR FAVOR,
CAN YOU DRAW THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, SCRUMPTIOUS,
TASTY, CREAM CHEESE FROSTING COVERED MUFFIN YOU'VE EVER SEEN?
I CAN TRY.
DID YOU WRITE ON THE CERTIFICATE
THAT MR. SHUE IS THE LUCKY WINNER?
YES, THE WINNER OF A DOZEN MUFFINS,
AND THAT HE HAS TO PICK UP ALL 12 OF HIS MUFFINS
TODAY AT 5:00.
QUICK!
WE GOT TO CATCH IT!
[KIDS SHOUTING]
ALMOST GOT IT!
SORRY!
COMING THROUGH!
HEY, DOG, THAT'S NOT YOURS.
I'LL GO THIS WAY.
COME BACK HERE, POOCH.
WHOA!
WATCH OUT!
I GOT IT!
NO!

WHERE'S THE SWITCH?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IS THIS ANOTHER TRICK, MAYA?
NO!
WELL, SORT OF.
WE WANTED YOU TO COME HERE
SO THAT WE COULD APOLOGIZE.
IT'S TRUE THAT AT FIRST WE WANTED TO GET YOU TO STOP GIVING US QUIZZES...
BUT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE,
WE REALLY DID START TO LIKE MATH.
AND NOW WE LIKE MATH MORE THAN EVER.
BECAUSE OF YOU, MR. SHUE.
HMM.
ESPECIALLY YOUR JOKES.
AND YOUR FLOWERED SHIRTS.
MR. SHUE, WOULD YOU PLEASE THINK AGAIN ABOUT BEING OUR ADVISOR?
BECAUSE WE STILL WANT TO HAVE A MATH CLUB.
MATH AND MUFFINS! MUFFINS AND MATH!
 OH, BOY!
YOU'VE GOT THEM TRULY EXCITED ABOUT MATH, TOM.
I MEAN, MR. SHUE.
YOU REALLY WANT ME TO BE YOUR ADVISOR?
THE MATH AND MUFFIN CLUB IS NOW CALLED TO ORDER!
YAY! YEAH!

HI, I'M JEWELL.

TAMALES COME FROM MEXICO.
I'M GOING TO PLOP A CHICKEN DOWN ON THAT WHITE PLATE.
WELL, FIRST WE KIND OF TORE THE MEAT UP.
IT'S REALLY COLD CHICKEN.
WE'RE TAKING ALL THE CHICKEN OFF OF THE BONES.
WE'RE GETTING THE CHICKEN READY TO PUT IN THE TAMALES.
GET A LITTLE BIT IN EACH.
YOU WILL GET A CORN HUSK
WHICH HAS BEEN SOAKED IN WATER
TO MAKE IT SOFT SO THAT IT WILL BEND.
IT'S WIDER AT THE TOP, NARROWER AT THE BOTTOM.
IT LOOKS LIKE A FAN.
SO THEY WERE KIND OF WET WHEN WE GOT THEM.
WE OPENED IT AND WE PUT THE MASA ON.
MASA IS A DOUGH MADE FROM CORN.
IT'S USUALLY USED FOR TORTILLAS
OR TAMALES.
THERE NEEDS TO BE AN EMPTY BORDER AROUND THIS CORN HUSK.
WE'RE SPREADING THE MASA.
THE MASA SMELLED REALLY GOOD.
WE HAVE TO KIND OF SPREAD IT LIKE
WE'RE DOING PEANUT BUTTER,
EXCEPT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IT ON THE ENDS
BECAUSE THEN WE WON'T BE ABLE TO ROLL IT IN.
AND THEN WE PUT THE CHICKEN ON TOP
AND IT HAD SOME SAUCE ON IT.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE PUTTING ON THE CHICKEN.
THIS IS MY SECOND ONE.
ARE TAMALES ARE GETTING ALL FULL.
AND THEN WE ROLLED IT UP.
YOU'RE GOING TO KIND OF TAKE ONE END IN,
AND YOUR MASA AND YOUR CHICKEN FILLING IS ALL INSIDE.
THE NEXT THING YOU DO IS YOU TAKE THE BOTTOM
AND YOU FOLD IT.
THE LUCKY PERSON GETS TO HAVE THIS.
AND THERE GOES MY TAMALE.
SO THAT'S WHAT IT NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE
WHEN YOU BRING IT UP TO MRS. BRICKEROTT.

BUSTER: So Arthur and I have joined forces
to win the Bionic nny
Ultimate Spring Break Video Contest.
What do you have to do?
I'll film our trip,
Arthur will film his trip with his family.
Then we'll put it together to make the ultimate video.
What's the prize?
A Special Edition Ultimate Bionic Bunny video game.
( laughing )
Arthur doesn't have as much camera experience as I do,
but let's see what he's got so far.
Hi, Buster!
This video postcard is from our first day here.
Tomorrow, we get to swim with dolphins and snorkel.
( grunts )
Dolphins and snorkeling?
Ooh, I have some catching up to do.
How long until we get to...
Where is it we're going?
The town of Iqaluit.
We'll be performing at Toonik Tyme.
It's a big spring celebration.
Perfect for an ultimate spring break video.
I wrote a song just for Toonik Tyme,
but now I'm working on the arrangement.
It needs a special sound, something unique.
You've got plenty of time during the flight.
But Dad said we're already in Canada.
Canada's a big country-- bigger than the U.S.
We crossed the border over here,
and we're going way up to Iqaluit.
It's in Nunavut.
Okay.
( yawns )
Well, wake me when we start to land.
 MORA: Wake up, Buster.
 There's Iqaluit.
The ultimate spring break video is abo to begin!
Where are we?
What happened to spring?
MORA: ♪ Well, it's a land of dreams
♪ The coolest place I've been
♪ So if you like extremes
♪ You're gonna wear a grin
♪ The land of dazzling days
♪ And most amazing nights
♪ It's more than just a craze
♪ So grab the quickest flight
♪ Iqaluit in Nunavut in Canada
♪ There's really no contest
♪ Iqaluit's the best
♪ The coolest place that I've ever been ♪
 ♪ Iqaluit in Nunat in Canada... ♪
BUSTER: I thought we came for a spring celebration.
CARLOS: Iqaluit's way up in the northern part of Canada.
It's cold even in the springtime.
BUSTER: Cold?!
It looks frozen!
The streets are frozen, the water is frozen.
There's no way I can make a spring break video here.
Don't give up yet.
It's just a different kind of spring.
MORA: Come with me toto meet Madeleine.
She has a show and invited us to play at Toonik Tyme.
 Sounds great.
Hey, what's that language on the stop sign?
That's Inuktitut, the other main language around here.
She's speaking Inuktitut on the radio.
Hear it?
( Madeleine speaking Inuktitut )
( speaking Inuktitut )
You're listening to CBC North Radio One.
I'm Madeleine Allakariallak,
and coming up next, a brand new song from Los Viajeros.
MORA: ♪ Come along, we're headin' off to... ♪
MORA: Hey, Madeleine, it's me, Mora!
Oh, hi! How are you?
Really great, thanks.
Very excited to be here.
This is my friend Buster.
BUSTER: Hi.
Hey, Buster.
Welcome to Iqaluit.
Goodseyou!
Madeleine, do you have any o talk
about this sg I wrote for Toonik Tyme?
You know what?
I'm really busy-- I have an interview next.
But come by my house later.
Come meet my daughter, Natasha.
She really wants to meet you guys.
She's got something to show you.
She's a throat singer.
She wants to throat-sing for you, so come by.
Throat singing?
Sounds wonderful!
All right, see you later.
Bye, Buster. Bye.
MORA: I can't wait to hear
the throat singing at Madeleine's.
BUSTER: But everybody es their throat to sing.
This is unique to the Inuit.
I hope you'll film it for me.
Sure.
Look at it out there--
aw, not one thing I can use for my spring break tape.
The snow's coming down so thick, I can barely see the ground!
( doorbell rings )
Oh, hi, Buster!
Welcome to my house.
Hi, Mora. Come on in.
I'd like for you to meet my daughter Natasha.
Hi, Buster!
This is her friend Mica.
Hi, Buster!
BUSTER: Nice to meet you.
I'll be in the kitchen.
Have fun.
BUSTER: So your mom says you guys are throat singers.
Can I hear a song?
Yeah, this one's called "The Wind."
( both alternating throaty eaths and melodic tones )
NATASHA: When the mother wanted to make the baby fall asleep,
she would throat-sing to them.
( throat singing continues )
It's like a lullaby.
( giggling )
I win!
BUSTER: You won?
How did you win?
Whoever laughs first loses.
( laughs )
MORA: How do you do it?
 First, you learn how to go...
( throaty exhaling )
And then you make the sounds.
Like... ( exhales from throat ) ( sings tone )
Then go... ( sings tone, exhales )
Like... ( sings tone, then exhales )
Then go... ( sings tone, ( sings tone, exhathen exhales )
( both alternating tones and breaths )
BUSTER: How did you learn to throat-sing?
I learned from my mom.
It goes on from your great-grandmother to your grandmother
to your mother to your child.
( Natasha throat-sging )
( speaking Inuktitut )
BOTH: It's a never-stop tradition.
( sings "hum," then exhales )
( repeats
( alternating "hums" and breaths )
MORA: It's so cool how you face each other.
NATASHA: It's like back and forth--
it's my breath going into hers.
And it goes back NATASHA: and forth, like It's like back aa ball bouncing.
( both throat-singing )
unds are amazing!
Where do the songs come from?
MADELEINE: The ideas for these throat songs come from our environment.
You mimic the sound of birds, geese, arctic terns, mammals,
tools that we used.
They go way back-- we don't knowhow far.
( Madeleine and Natasha throat-singing rapidly )
( laughing )
You look funny!
Do I?
( laughing )
Once you start laughing,
you can't get into it right away again.
BUSTER: I can't do the singing, but I can do the laughing.
( giggles )
And the object of the game is to make the other person laugh.
( giggling )
Yeah, mm-hmm.
And Natasha is laughing, so who's the winner?
MORA: Your throat singing could be the sound I need
for my Toonik Tyme song.
Thanks for letting us record it.
BUSTER: Thanks, everybody.
Thank you for coming, Buster.
( recording of Madeleine and Natasha throat-singing )
This throat singing will be great
in the mix for the song.
Arthur says he's filming really great stuff for our video.
He sent me some pictures.
He filmed a sandcastle-building contest.
That sounds really cool.
And he can't wait to see what I've filmed.
Uh-oh, I've got to come up with something.
Hey, I picked up a schedule of Toonik Tyme activities.
There's a competition this afternoon.
I hope it's a spring break activity.
I know for sure it's an outdoor activity.
And the sun is shining today.
Let's go!
Oops!
One...
two...
three...
Go!
BUSTER: Okay, so they're sawing right through the snow.
That must be some super-tough snow.
MORA: Yeah, it's snow that's been packed down really hard
by the arctic wind.
It comes out of the ground in perfect chunks.
BUSTER: They look like giant ice cubes!
This guy's got a whole row of them.
But what are they for?
Maybe they know what's going on.
Hey, guys, my name's Buster.
( laughing )
Hi, Buster. I'm Eden.
That's Shibo, Alexander, Elu, Anastasia, Margaret, Natasha.
BUSTER: Can you tell me what these guys are doing?
EDEN: They're having an igloo-building contest.
It's Toonik Tyme over here.
So, is Toonik Tyme actually related to spring?
Um, it's like a spring celebration.
I guess I've never thought of igloos
as a symbol of springtime.
EDEN: Igloos are the snow houses
that the Inuit people used to live in.
BUSTER: I'm getting a little cold just thinking about it.
EDEN: The entirese is just snow and ice.
MORA: But it keeps you warm.
When people were out hunting,
if it got really windy all of a sudden,
they had to build an igloo really fast, right?
Yeah... in, like, maybe an hour.
Well, one guy's done over here.
BUSTER: His beard is like a snow cone.
And my feet are turning to icicles.
What's he doing?
MORA: He's got to stand on top of the igloo
to prove that it's strong enough
to stand up to the elements.
Help!
Oh, boy, I hope it doesn't cave in!
 Help!
( people cheer )
Help!
( applause and cheers )
BUSTER: This is harder than building sandcastles.
250 pounds!
( laughter )
Will it crumble beneath his boots or...?
( crowd cheering )
Yay! It's holding up!
( applause )
MORA: Look, Buster, somebody else has finished.
Builder guy number two is up!
Will he f-fall through?
Arthur had it so easy,
filming sandcastles on a w-warm b-beach.
( cheers and applause )
I want to c-crawl in there and warm up.
Eden, aren't you f-freezing?
( laughs )
It doesn't feel like spring!
It's because you're not dressed right,
it doesn't feel like spring.
I don't kn-know how much l-longer I can stay out here.
You don't have your winter clothes!
You're... you're obviously from the south.
Like, you're totally not dressed right.
I'm wearing my j-jacket.
That's all I b-brought.
Yeah, that's probably why you're freezing.
So, what should I d-do?
You can come to my house later
and I can give you some warmer clothes.
Yay!
( shivers )
Come on, Mora.
Let's get inside.
( Buster sighs )
I never thought I'd be so happy to be in a warm car.
MORA: So I'll drop you off at Eden's to pick up a warmer coat.
BUSTER: Hey, look, a snowmobile!
Yeah, thy u them to get around here.
"Arctic survival"-- that's what I need.
It's really ni of Eden to help ycu out
 with some er cold weather gear.
Yeah, I'm not dressed r spring in Iqaluit.
Here we are.
Hey,ter! Hey, Eden.
Come on in.
Thanks.
This is my mom, Carol.
Hi, Buster.
Nice to meet you.
EDEN: BUSTER: And over here Hey.is my sister Teah.
I told you to come here for som% clothes,
w You a ce re--
you can take t normajust do.
BUSTER: Nos good
Or..yothe tradl othing,
 MORA: w, It'made out caribou of rl cariu fur.
 It looks so heavy.
Do you want me to try it on?
CAROL: Arms up!
BUSTER: u're getting buried in that enormous, furry thing.
( giggling )
Where'd she go?
Oh, hi.
Now, this is the parka, and it looks sort of like a caribou
 because it is made out of caribou fur.
The Inuit used to use these when they lived in igloos
and were always outside.
And they made it by hand
because there were no such thing as sewing machines.
There's little designs on the sleeves.
They liked to make designs, make it look different,
like these little strings at the bottom.
BUSTER: Which coat do you recommend?
Uh, it depends.
Like, if you want to go hunting or camping,
I'd probably use the caribou fur coat.
But if you're just going to go outside and play, you know,
I'd probably use the same coat as everyone else,
just a down-filled, fur-on-the-collar coat.
It's better for sliding
and going outside and goofing off.
BUSTER: I definitely want the warmest possible coat.
I'll take the caribou.
Okay, that's a good choice.
Thanks, Eden!
So, Buster, do you like hockey?
I love hockey!
Cool! Did you ever hear the name Jordan Tootoo?
Yeah, think.
He's the first Inuit to ever go to the NHL.
He plays for Nashville Predators.
Is he from around here?
Yeah, he's my cousin.
No way! Really?
Seriously.
That's so cool.
Your cousin's really famous!
Around here, yeah, definitely.
You keep talking about Inuits,
and you said they used to live in igloos.
So, are Inuits like Eskimos?
We don't really like being called "Eskimos."
It's sort of like an insult to us.
So, we... we like to refer to it as "Inuit."
Oh, sorry.
Does "Inuit" mean something in, um, Inuktitut?
It means "person."
Buster, would you like to come to my school,
learn drum dancing, throat singing,
and maybe meet some of my friends?
Definitely! But first I want to put on that coat
and get outside to film more outdoor games.
( wind whistling )
Oh, no! Now I'm warm,
but what happened to the spring sunshine?
MORA: A blizzard can come up fast around here,
so you'd better be able to build an igloo fast.
All Arthur has to worry about while filming
is putting on sunscreen.
Let's get inside.
BUSTER: Could you please turn down the heat?
 Why don't you take off your coat?
Are you kidding?
It's the most comfortable thing I've ever worn.
I'm so glad we met Eden.
And it was nice of her to invite us to choir practice.
Madeline said they have great throat singers.
They'll be great for my video.
MORA: This must be the place!
( singing in Inuktitut inside building )
BUSTER: What's that song they're doing?
MORA: The Canadian national anthem.
( singing "O Canada" in French )
I hear they sing it in Inuktitut,
and French and English for the Toonik Tyme concert.
CHOIR: ♪ O Canada, we stand on guard for thee... ♪
BUSTER: And there's Eden!
CHOIR: ♪ O Canada, we stand on guard... ♪
♪ For... thee.
Hey, Buster. Hey, Eden.
MORA: Thanks for inviting us.
This is our choir.
Now we're going to have some throat singing.
MORA: Oh, good.
Buster, you're getting this?
You got it.
( two girls throat-singing )
The battle is on.
Two great throat-singing champs,
determined not to crack up.
( both alternating "mah" and breaths )
They'r firing off some very intense "mahs" at each other.
( throat singing continues )
Still anybody's game.
( alternating "mallub" and breaths )
They're on to the "mallubs"!
( girl giggles )
BUSTER: Weave a winner!
( kids cheer and applaud )
What else are you guys doing for the Toonik Tyme concert?
Hi, Buster. I'm Zach.
I'm the leader of our drum group.
We're practicing one of our routines.
Ready, guys?
One, two, three, go.
( drumming slow rhythm )
( shouts )
( drumming ends on loud beat )
That sounded amazing!
Does your dance have a name?
We call it the polar bear,
and you move your feet sideo side.
Jumping.
Yeah, and then you crouch down and kind of stick your bum out.
When you move the drum to hit it properly,
it kind of makes the movement of a bird flying.
So if it's too cold outside,
you still have choir and drum group.
Is there other indoor stuff?
ZACH: A few games.
We'll start with one called the kalaktata.
The "kalaktata"?
How do you play?
You have to do a beat with your feet.
( kids giggle )
The person who does it the longest wins.
BUSTER: There's one down.
And another.
The kalaktata champion still kalaktata-ing!
This could be a kalaktata record!
MORA: This isn't exactly volleyball on the beach,
but it looks pretty fun.
Yeah, you're right.
This could be perfect for the spring break video.
Can you guys show me more games?
There's one imitating the musk ox when they fight.
Okay, one, two, three, go.
BUSTER: So, what's a musk ox?
MORA: A really strong wild ox.
These guys are going at it, like, uh...
like musk ox, I guess.
One, two...
BUSTER: And now it's time for the leg wrestling,
the only sport you can play lying on your back!
( girls laugh )
BUSTER: It's filled with thrills and spills...
( crowd groans )
Excitement you can see and hear.
( wrestler breaks wind )
( kids laughing )
BUSTER: And smell!
( kids laughing )
But the wild-and-craziest indoor Iqaluit sport of them all
has got to be... the face pull!
From far and wide they come to battle it out
in a war of wiggly fingers, jiggly cheeks
and a whole lot of drool.
What's the object of the game?
To pull with all your might on your best friend's face.
This is fun that's better than sun!
MORA: I bet no one else
in the ultimate spring break video
will have footage like this.
You're right!
Bye, Buster!
BUSTER: Bye!
ALL: Bye, Buster!
I filmed some cool indoor games today.
Indoor games?
But this is a spring break video.
Spring is about getting outside
after being cooped up all winter.
Spring's a little different up here.
I'm filming what I can.
Look, if I end up doing all the work for this video,
I'm not sure we should share the prize.
( computer beeps, Buster grunts )
If Arthur wants the outdoors, I'll give him the outdoors!
Okay, but it's still really cold.
Don't forget your coat.
Fine. I'm not going to let Arthur win
a Special Edition Ultimate Bionic Bunny video game
without me.
Anybody can film spring break at the beach.
I'll show the world what spring looks like in Iqaluit.
CARLOS: Sledding is a big Toonik Tyme activity, Buster.
BUSTER: I did a lot of sledding in Utah.
Of course, that was in the middle of winter.
MORA: Should we get in the snowmobile race?
 Yeah! You drive and I'll film.
Hold on tight, Buster.
I'm zooming over the snow... at super speed,
and I'm not the least bit frozen.
Thank you, caribou coat!
Whoo-hoo!
Hey, there, you up ahead, in the snow boat--
we're gaining on you!
Watch out!
These slopes are impressive,
but I need something you can only see in Iqaluit.
Like the throat singing I found for my song?
Yeah, but something outdoors.
Let me look at the Toonik Tyme schedule.
There's something nearby that will be perfect.
What?
Hang on and get ready to film.
( dogs barking )
BUSTER: Whoa!
These dogs look kind of wild.
They're howling like wolves.
I'm glad they've got those chains on.
BUSTER: Down, boy!
MORA: They're gettg ready for a dogsled race.
What kind of dogs are these?
They're wolves that got domesticated.
They're really called huskies.
Huskies? Cool.
Do they have names?
GIRL: That's Johnny Cash.
( dogs barking )
And that's Aurelius,
and the last one's Caesar.
Lily! Down!
Lily.
Lily, down!
Hey, Lily, do what she says.
Whoops!
( yells )
Whoops! Lily got you down!
Aw.
Arthur's dog, Pal, likes that, too.
So what's special about these dogs?
They're for pulling qamutiks.
What are qamutiks?
Qamutiks are sleds that you pull,
made out of wood.
( howls quietly )
MORA: I wonder if throat singers
ever imitate that kind of howl.
( dogs yelping )
I guess they're ready to go.
They have to harness the whole team to the qamutik.
Hi, guys!
Are you excited to race?
( chuckling ): No licking the camera, Caesar.
I think they're ready to start the run.
Okay, ready?
Ay! Ay!
( dogs barking )
There they go!
How do they stay together?
It's amazing.
And they're going really fast.
I wonder how it feels to hold the reins.
It must be a great feeling,
just sailing over the snow like that.
( dogs barking )
BUSTER: Don't worry, Pal!
We'll stop soon.
( wind whistling )
Almost done.
MORA: Buster?
Hey, Buster, the dogs look like they really enjoyed the race.
That was so cool!
Arthur couldn't film anything like that at the beach.
Look, he's cooling off after the run.
Hmm. I think Caesar's a little hungry.
So is that really fun for humans, too?
It's great, they're just fantastic.
The dogs did really well, were very fast.
It was a really fast run.
Thanks for letting me film it.
MORA: Time to go.
I've got a rehearsal with Carlos.
You want to hear a little of my throat-singing mix?
( slow rhythm incorporates throat singing with melody )
Sounds great.
Thanks for helping Mora record it, Buster.
How's the spring break footage?
I'm sending it to Arthur right now.
I hope he's not disappointed.
ARTHUR: So, I watched your tape.

Aw, I was afraid you'd say that.

You mean I'm still in?

 Playing Ulte Bionic Bunny
isn't nearly as fun as making video.
I know.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
It's time for...
( together ): Iqaluit musk ox wrestling!
( both grunting )
( both giggling )
( all laughing )
Something's going on.
Cool! Can we go, Dad?
PBS Kids Go.
BOY: No time to lose!
Get him!
What are we waiting for?
We've got a job to do.
KIDS: Go!
Every Sunday, it's pasta for dinner--
spaghetti, ravioli, whatever.
But the sauce never changes.
It's my grandma's recipe.
My dad taught it to me.
He says Grandma better watch out,
because I make a mean marinara sauce.
BUSTER: Wait! I forgot to tell you something
I learned in Canada.
Do you know that before they had snowmobiles,
the Inuit used dogsleds to travel and carry their stuff?
The dogs even kept people warm inside igloos
when it s too cold to go outside.
 If you lived up here,
dogs really would be your best friend.
