1
00:01:12,360 –> 00:01:14,555
EEEEYUUUGHHH!!!
2
00:01:15,440 –> 00:01:18,193
Is that some kind of rot or what??
3
00:01:18,280 –> 00:01:20,510
That is one rotten orange, Ralphie.
4
00:01:20,640 –> 00:01:23,518
It’s so disgusting, it could win the contest!
5
00:01:29,000 –> 00:01:35,030
Ah, the smell of decomposing orange!
Deee-lectable!
6
00:01:38,000 –> 00:01:39,558
So, what’s my score, Tim?
7
00:01:39,640 –> 00:01:43,713
Do I win the most disgusting, grossest rot
contest ever?
8
00:01:46,960 –> 00:01:49,679
Two nose-holds and a faint! Good one,
Ralphie!
9
00:01:49,760 –> 00:01:51,352
Woooooo!!
10
00:01:51,440 –> 00:01:53,749
Definitely disgusting.
11
00:01:54,480 –> 00:01:57,790
Let’s see…yup, this should do it.
12
00:01:59,640 –> 00:02:00,834
Next!
13
00:02:01,320 –> 00:02:02,878
How about this, Tim?
14
00:02:03,080 –> 00:02:06,038
It fell behind the counter when I was still at my
old school.
15
00:02:07,120 –> 00:02:10,317
Phoebe! That banana is so rotten, it’s mush!
16
00:02:10,440 –> 00:02:17,437
Score? That’s three nose holds!
Congratulations!
17
00:02:19,400 –> 00:02:20,753
Next!!
18
00:02:21,840 –> 00:02:23,751
Wait until you see this!
19
00:02:23,880 –> 00:02:26,758
Wanda, what is in there?!?
20
00:02:26,840 –> 00:02:28,831
I don’t know, Carlos…
21
00:02:28,960 –> 00:02:32,873
Nobody knows. It’s been in the fridge since l
was 4.
22
00:02:33,840 –> 00:02:36,434
Just beautiful.
23
00:02:36,600 –> 00:02:38,955
You’re not going to…open it, are you?
24
00:02:39,040 –> 00:02:40,393
Of course she is.
25
00:02:41,000 –> 00:02:45,755
Come on, class! Don’t you want to see what
riproaring rot’s inside?
26
00:02:46,640 –> 00:02:48,278
Here goes!
27
00:02:51,960 –> 00:02:53,154
YUCK!!
28
00:02:55,200 –> 00:02:56,599
Score please?
29
00:02:58,520 –> 00:03:01,239
Three faints! Very good, Wanda!
30
00:03:01,320 –> 00:03:03,470
We’ve got us a winner!
31
00:03:03,560 –> 00:03:07,712
And to congratulate you on winning The Most
Disgusting Rot Contest…
32
00:03:07,800 –> 00:03:09,597
I have a little prize.
33
00:03:13,280 –> 00:03:17,512
Oh, Wanda! It’s a baby tree!
34
00:03:17,920 –> 00:03:20,957
Ms Frizzle? I really like it and everything,
35
00:03:21,160 –> 00:03:24,391
but…It’s not really rotten, is it?
36
00:03:24,520 –> 00:03:26,670
…It’s so… alive…
37
00:03:27,520 –> 00:03:32,389
That’s right, Keesha! It’s very alive and so is
rot!
38
00:03:32,480 –> 00:03:34,152
It is??
39
00:03:35,400 –> 00:03:38,472
Well, Wanda, what would you like to do with
your prize?
40
00:03:40,480 –> 00:03:46,316
I guess I’d like to plant it… and I know just the
spot!
41
00:03:46,400 –> 00:03:49,198
You know that old lot near my house on
Decatur?
42
00:03:49,320 –> 00:03:51,993
An excellent place for a new tree!
43
00:03:52,080 –> 00:03:54,548
To the bus! Two by two please!
44
00:03:57,400 –> 00:04:01,951
Now Wanda. You want to put your nice tree in
that ugly old lot.
45
00:04:02,040 –> 00:04:02,836
Correct.
46
00:04:02,960 –> 00:04:08,671
But it’s filled with lots of dead stuff – rotting
logs, tree stumps…
47
00:04:08,760 –> 00:04:10,432
That’s the point, Carlos.
48
00:04:10,560 –> 00:04:13,552
We could make that lot beautiful!
49
00:04:13,680 –> 00:04:15,671
Just clear out all that dead stuff…
50
00:04:15,760 –> 00:04:18,115
and plant my lovely green tree!
51
00:04:18,320 –> 00:04:20,959
Think how great this tree will look when it’s
big.
52
00:04:21,040 –> 00:04:24,999
It could be a little park! And we could call it
Wandaworld!
53
00:04:25,080 –> 00:04:26,354
No wait no wait no wait!
54
00:04:26,480 –> 00:04:29,313
Why not do something REALLY cool with it?
55
00:04:29,400 –> 00:04:31,516
What about a theme park?
56
00:04:31,600 –> 00:04:33,238
Yeah, cool!
57
00:04:33,360 –> 00:04:34,270
Theme park!?
58
00:04:34,360 –> 00:04:35,713
Now, wait a minute…
59
00:04:35,840 –> 00:04:38,798
Yes! And the theme could be rot!
60
00:04:38,880 –> 00:04:39,710
WHAT?!?
61
00:04:39,840 –> 00:04:42,274
And we’ll call it Rotland!
62
00:04:42,360 –> 00:04:43,236
Yeah!
63
00:04:43,360 –> 00:04:46,193
Interesting notion! Any other thoughts…?
64
00:04:46,280 –> 00:04:49,397
I know! I know! Let’s build a restaurant!
65
00:04:50,240 –> 00:04:52,708
Yeah! A fast food joint!
66
00:04:52,800 –> 00:04:56,349
I hate to say this but, restaurants and theme
parks mean litter!
67
00:04:56,440 –> 00:04:59,637
Garbage everywhere! Think of the
environment!!
68
00:05:00,840 –> 00:05:03,832
So let’s build a recycling center!
69
00:05:03,960 –> 00:05:05,393
A what?!?!
70
00:05:05,480 –> 00:05:07,198
Oh no.
71
00:05:07,320 –> 00:05:09,117
That’s a great idea, Phoebe!!
72
00:05:09,240 –> 00:05:10,719
No, it’s not!
73
00:05:10,840 –> 00:05:12,990
Hey, there’s the lot!
74
00:05:15,760 –> 00:05:18,957
Ms Frizzle? I’m going to go out and have a
look.
75
00:05:19,040 –> 00:05:24,672
Certainly, Wanda! Take chances! Get messy!
Make mistakes…!
76
00:05:26,760 –> 00:05:31,629
Whoo-ooo – this is worse than I thought.
There’s a lot of stuff to get rid of…!
77
00:05:33,680 –> 00:05:35,750
Hey guys…!!
78
00:05:36,000 –> 00:05:37,035
A tunnel of rot!
79
00:05:37,120 –> 00:05:38,439
Specials for vegans!
80
00:05:38,520 –> 00:05:39,714
Junk sculptures!
81
00:05:39,800 –> 00:05:44,635
Hello! Excuse me! I have an announcement!
82
00:05:48,920 –> 00:05:50,592
We need help.
83
00:05:53,240 –> 00:06:00,112
Larry’s Log-Away… the log removal service
that won’t leave you stumped. Perfect!
84
00:06:01,680 –> 00:06:06,276
I can’t wait to see their faces when I get this
place all clean up!
85
00:06:07,560 –> 00:06:08,470
Hello?
86
00:06:08,880 –> 00:06:10,632
Oh, hi! Is this Larry’s Log Away?
87
00:06:10,720 –> 00:06:11,550
You got it.
88
00:06:11,880 –> 00:06:17,000
Great! I have a job for you. We need to get rid
of some useless dead logs….
89
00:06:17,240 –> 00:06:18,753
Sure I can do that, where is it?
90
00:06:18,880 –> 00:06:20,233
The lot on Decatur?
91
00:06:20,360 –> 00:06:21,588
Wooo, how about if I come now?
92
00:06:21,680 –> 00:06:23,875
Yeah, that would be just great!!
93
00:06:25,040 –> 00:06:27,395
Listen! The theme park could have a slime
ride.
94
00:06:27,480 –> 00:06:30,392
Forget it! This neighborhood needs a
restaurant!
95
00:06:30,480 –> 00:06:34,155
We can argue about what to do after the lot is
cleared.
96
00:06:34,240 –> 00:06:37,789
HOLD lT!! Why not just leave this place the
way it is?
97
00:06:38,000 –> 00:06:43,313
Arnold, why do you always want to leave
things alone instead of doing something!
98
00:06:43,520 –> 00:06:48,719
I have this theory that if you leave nature
alone, it’ll get along just fine.
99
00:06:48,880 –> 00:06:53,556
Forget your theories, Arnold! That rotten log
has to go! It’s dead!
100
00:06:53,640 –> 00:06:55,949
It’s useless! I mean, look at it!
101
00:06:56,040 –> 00:06:59,077
And that, Wanda, is exactly what we shall do!
102
00:06:59,320 –> 00:07:00,753
Seatbelts, everyone!
103
00:07:00,960 –> 00:07:04,270
Wanda – now look what you’ve done!
104
00:07:04,400 –> 00:07:06,311
The Frizz is going to…
105
00:07:06,440 –> 00:07:09,159
No, no, wait! Ms Frizzle?
106
00:07:09,280 –> 00:07:14,274
You’re not going to… We really shouldn’t…
WE CAN’T!!!
107
00:07:20,240 –> 00:07:23,915
Too late, Wanda. We’ve shrunk.
108
00:07:25,000 –> 00:07:27,195
Oh no!! Not now!!
109
00:07:28,400 –> 00:07:31,597
What did I do?? What did I do???
110
00:07:36,480 –> 00:07:40,473
But Ms Frizzle, we’ve got to get out of
here…NOW!!
111
00:07:40,560 –> 00:07:41,959
Where are we going?
112
00:07:42,040 –> 00:07:45,316
We’re going to find out what rot has to do with
life, Wanda!
113
00:07:45,400 –> 00:07:47,436
But do we have to find out now?!
114
00:07:47,520 –> 00:07:49,795
Okay, class! Everyone out!
115
00:07:50,640 –> 00:07:53,552
Take chances! Make mistakes! Get messy!
116
00:07:55,480 –> 00:07:58,756
Yeah, make mistakes? My speciality…
117
00:07:59,560 –> 00:08:04,076
Wow, a dead log sure looks different when
you’re no bigger than a bug!
118
00:08:08,600 –> 00:08:11,239
And the bugs look different, too, right Liz?
119
00:08:11,560 –> 00:08:17,430
Wow! Look at that! Rot! Life! Okay, let’s go
back now!
120
00:08:17,520 –> 00:08:20,318
Lighten up, Wan! Last one up’s a centipede…!
121
00:08:20,400 –> 00:08:26,430
No!! Wait!!! Please don’t go up there! We’ve
got to gooooooo…..!!!
122
00:08:26,520 –> 00:08:30,433
What’s that…RUN!!!
123
00:08:30,920 –> 00:08:33,036
That class, is a chipmunk.
124
00:08:33,120 –> 00:08:33,916
Hide.
125
00:08:34,680 –> 00:08:38,070
Psss, Wanda, where are you?
126
00:08:39,520 –> 00:08:41,511
I’m over here.
127
00:08:44,320 –> 00:08:45,639
Thanks, Ms Frizzle!
128
00:08:45,720 –> 00:08:46,994
Don’t mention it, Wanda!
129
00:08:49,920 –> 00:08:51,831
It’s another world up here!
130
00:08:55,000 –> 00:08:57,116
The perfect look for Rotland!
131
00:08:57,280 –> 00:08:59,999
But we can’t do anything until we take this log
away.
132
00:09:00,080 –> 00:09:02,799
So let’s get big again and let’s get out of here.
133
00:09:02,920 –> 00:09:05,229
Hey, where do you think this goes?
134
00:09:05,320 –> 00:09:08,915
It goes down, Ralphie. OK? Now us, we want
to go home.
135
00:09:09,000 –> 00:09:13,835
Single file, class! Our rotten field trip has only
just begun!
136
00:09:15,440 –> 00:09:17,829
Not if I have anything to say about it…
137
00:09:19,240 –> 00:09:22,915
Hey, everyone? There’s a great log in my
backyard!
138
00:09:23,000 –> 00:09:25,275
Why don’t we go there for our field trip?
139
00:09:25,360 –> 00:09:27,476
I’ll serve cookies and milk.
140
00:09:31,200 –> 00:09:35,910
Wanda, we’re here because you pointed to
THlS log and said
141
00:09:36,000 –> 00:09:40,596
and I quote Just look at it!, remember?
142
00:09:41,600 –> 00:09:44,194
I took a chance, I made a mistake.
143
00:09:44,320 –> 00:09:47,869
So how do I stop it from getting REALLY
messy?
144
00:09:53,560 –> 00:09:59,192
No sign of Larry the Log-Away guy…
yet…YlKES!
145
00:10:05,440 –> 00:10:08,159
We really have to get outta here
146
00:10:08,280 –> 00:10:09,633
What’s that sound?
147
00:10:09,760 –> 00:10:13,389
Don’t worry class, Woodpeckers only eat
bugs.
148
00:10:15,040 –> 00:10:17,554
There are hundreds of tunnels down here!
149
00:10:17,680 –> 00:10:20,558
How about a tunnel tour in Rotland?
150
00:10:20,640 –> 00:10:23,677
Great idea, DA! Forget Wandaworld!
151
00:10:23,760 –> 00:10:28,276
Let’s build Rotland! And I say we start right
away! Let’s go
152
00:10:28,360 –> 00:10:33,309
Hey, look at that! It’s coming this way, look out!
153
00:10:34,840 –> 00:10:38,150
Well, done class! You found a bessie bug.
154
00:10:38,240 –> 00:10:40,800
One of the animals which made all these
tunnels!
155
00:10:41,920 –> 00:10:45,708
Great! Here’s the bus! We can go now!
156
00:10:48,280 –> 00:10:52,796
A bessie bus? Now I’ve seen everything.
157
00:10:59,240 –> 00:11:03,631
This place keeps getting more and more
amazing…!
158
00:11:04,960 –> 00:11:06,632
What’s this stuff?
159
00:11:07,040 –> 00:11:10,635
Those are part of the mushrooms we saw on
the outside of the log.
160
00:11:11,960 –> 00:11:14,269
Some mushrooms grow on dead wood.
161
00:11:14,360 –> 00:11:19,992
Underneath the mushroom caps, a tangle of
tiny threads grows throughout the wood.
162
00:11:20,680 –> 00:11:24,195
These threads eat the wood and help
digesting the log.
163
00:11:29,240 –> 00:11:33,870
Hey, this thread effect could be good for the
haunted house in Rotland…
164
00:11:36,880 –> 00:11:38,438
He’s back.
165
00:11:38,520 –> 00:11:41,353
You did say just bugs, right Ms Frizzle?
166
00:11:42,200 –> 00:11:43,428
Yes, Ralphie
167
00:11:47,000 –> 00:11:48,399
That was close!
168
00:11:48,480 –> 00:11:53,429
Who would’ve known a dead log could be so
alive, right, Ms Frizzle?
169
00:11:54,120 –> 00:11:57,157
I’m sorry, but I don’t think we should stay in a
place
170
00:11:57,240 –> 00:11:59,151
where we might become somebody’s lunch
menu!
171
00:11:59,240 –> 00:12:01,754
I told you we should’ve left well enough
alone…
172
00:12:01,840 –> 00:12:05,196
And I’m telling you how to get out of here
before…
173
00:12:07,000 –> 00:12:07,989
Ms. Frizzle??
174
00:12:08,080 –> 00:12:10,389
Too cool!!! Come on!
175
00:12:10,480 –> 00:12:13,472
No, DA! Let go! WAAlTT!!!
176
00:12:15,240 –> 00:12:19,756
I bet you never thought an ameoboid
plasmodium could be so much fun!
177
00:12:22,480 –> 00:12:23,754
A what??
178
00:12:23,840 –> 00:12:28,277
A slime mold!! It’s another living thing living
off the log!
179
00:12:28,400 –> 00:12:33,599
Think of it DA – The Stunningly Stupendous
Super Slime Slide!!
180
00:12:33,720 –> 00:12:35,790
Found exclusively at…
181
00:12:39,480 –> 00:12:40,595
Rotland
182
00:12:40,680 –> 00:12:44,116
No, Carlos. They’re naturally in a dead log…
183
00:12:44,240 –> 00:12:47,949
…which is stunningly stupendous just the way
it is.
184
00:12:48,040 –> 00:12:48,995
Right!
185
00:12:49,080 –> 00:12:51,275
Wait! What about taking this log away?
186
00:12:51,360 –> 00:12:53,555
Sorry, Wanda. We’ve changed our minds.
187
00:12:53,680 –> 00:12:57,468
Hey hey!! Carlos, DA! Welcome to the Leave
It As It Is Club.
188
00:12:57,560 –> 00:12:59,516
Okay, then – it’s settled.
189
00:12:59,600 –> 00:13:02,751
We’ll do a restaurant instead. Now let’s go!!
190
00:13:05,040 –> 00:13:06,189
What was that?
191
00:13:06,280 –> 00:13:08,635
Hey wait! You are going the wrong way.
192
00:13:10,360 –> 00:13:12,749
It gets worse and worse!
193
00:13:12,840 –> 00:13:14,432
Lunch time, class!!
194
00:13:14,520 –> 00:13:18,035
Awright! Nothing like a rotten log that’s
catered!
195
00:13:18,160 –> 00:13:23,154
So what’ll it be? Log Nuggets? Wood
Dumplings!? Pureed Bark?
196
00:13:25,400 –> 00:13:27,868
Um, I hate to be picky, Ms. Frizzle…
197
00:13:27,960 –> 00:13:30,997
but do you have anything in the way of…food??
198
00:13:31,080 –> 00:13:35,437
But the log is food, Ralphie!! That’s the
beauty of it!
199
00:13:36,080 –> 00:13:40,039
All these creatures use the log for food and
energy!
200
00:13:40,320 –> 00:13:44,711
Fine, fine. So let’s just get it out of here and
open our restaurant, right, Ralphie?
201
00:13:47,680 –> 00:13:52,595
Whoa!! Not only does stuff eat the log, but
stuff eats the stuff that eats the log!
202
00:13:52,680 –> 00:13:56,559
Yeah, everywhere you look around here, it’s
lunch time!!
203
00:13:56,640 –> 00:13:59,279
You know something, Keesha? This place
is…
204
00:13:59,360 –> 00:14:01,032
already a restaurant!!
205
00:14:01,240 –> 00:14:01,877
What?!?
206
00:14:01,960 –> 00:14:05,475
Sorry, Wanda. But we don’t want to clear it
away anymore.
207
00:14:05,560 –> 00:14:09,792
Yes! Two more for the Keep The Log The
Way It Is Club!
208
00:14:09,880 –> 00:14:12,155
Okay, so no Rotland, no restaurant.
209
00:14:12,360 –> 00:14:14,920
So let’s get big and argue some more!
210
00:14:15,040 –> 00:14:19,511
Why argue? Five out of eight kids say we
shouldn’t take this log away…
211
00:14:23,360 –> 00:14:28,639
One more chance to get everybody
away…Phoebe, Tim.
212
00:14:28,720 –> 00:14:35,831
…Moldering in the Grave…
213
00:14:35,920 –> 00:14:39,435
This reminds me of the mush my banana
turned into!
214
00:14:39,640 –> 00:14:43,633
The process of decomposition breaks
everything down.
215
00:14:43,760 –> 00:14:46,593
Be it wood, banana or bug.
216
00:14:47,560 –> 00:14:48,834
Phoebe!
217
00:14:49,440 –> 00:14:53,433
Phoebe! Tim! I can honestly say that your
recycling center idea
218
00:14:53,560 –> 00:14:55,551
is the best idea ever in the history of the earth.
219
00:14:55,640 –> 00:14:56,072
Really…?
220
00:14:56,200 –> 00:14:59,909
You bet. So please, please tell Ms Frizzle
221
00:15:00,000 –> 00:15:03,197
that you want to get big to recycle this log!
Please!!
222
00:15:05,520 –> 00:15:07,909
But it’s already being recycled, Wanda…
223
00:15:08,480 –> 00:15:10,835
as food for fungi and bugs…
224
00:15:10,920 –> 00:15:13,229
as a place for moss and lichen to grow…
225
00:15:14,120 –> 00:15:17,476
and as a home for all sorts of creatures!
226
00:15:17,560 –> 00:15:20,950
Okay, okay, but all these creatures leave a lot
of litter, don’t they?
227
00:15:21,040 –> 00:15:24,316
You know – bug plops! So, the quicker we
clear it out —
228
00:15:24,400 –> 00:15:27,597
Wait. The bug plops are being used, too.
229
00:15:30,040 –> 00:15:32,076
Natural recycling!
230
00:15:32,360 –> 00:15:35,033
I’m sorry, but that is gross!
231
00:15:35,120 –> 00:15:39,352
It’s not gross, Wanda! It’s another addition to
decomposition!
232
00:15:40,000 –> 00:15:42,468
Ohhh…I give up!
233
00:15:43,200 –> 00:15:45,794
Okay, it’s not gross. It’s perfect. I love it.
234
00:15:45,880 –> 00:15:47,916
NOW LET’S JUST GET OUT OF HERE!!
235
00:15:48,000 –> 00:15:49,877
Hey, everyone! Over here!
236
00:15:50,920 –> 00:15:52,353
NOW what?
237
00:15:53,720 –> 00:15:57,315
Look! Beautiful, rich soil!
238
00:15:58,160 –> 00:15:59,991
Perfect for your tree, Wanda…
239
00:16:00,080 –> 00:16:02,674
NOW will you join the Leave It As It Is Club?
240
00:16:02,760 –> 00:16:04,318
I don’t believe it…!
241
00:16:05,840 –> 00:16:10,118
Let me explain what the “Leave it As it is Club”
is all about
242
00:16:10,200 –> 00:16:14,637
It’s all part of the amazing process of
decomposition.
243
00:16:14,760 –> 00:16:19,276
If you leave well enough alone, over time…
244
00:16:19,360 –> 00:16:21,635
…many things happen to break down a log.
245
00:16:21,760 –> 00:16:23,830
…and it gets battered by the weather…
246
00:16:23,920 –> 00:16:26,195
…into smaller and smaller pieces until it
becomes part of the soil again…
247
00:16:26,280 –> 00:16:28,555
…ready for new things to grow in it!!
248
00:16:31,080 –> 00:16:35,437
This place is fine, just the way it is…
249
00:16:35,600 –> 00:16:37,636
All right! I see it now.
250
00:16:37,720 –> 00:16:41,030
There is absolutely no reason to take this log
away.
251
00:16:43,360 –> 00:16:44,759
Except one…
252
00:16:44,840 –> 00:16:46,717
Yeah, Wanda? Which one’s that?
253
00:16:46,800 –> 00:16:47,471
Larry.
254
00:16:47,560 –> 00:16:48,629
Who’s Larry?
255
00:16:50,640 –> 00:16:51,390
HlM.
256
00:16:51,520 –> 00:16:53,192
Runnnn!!!
257
00:16:55,920 –> 00:16:58,354
LET’S GET OUTTA HERE!!!
258
00:16:59,800 –> 00:17:01,392
This way, class!
259
00:17:01,560 –> 00:17:02,276
What’s that?
260
00:17:02,360 –> 00:17:03,759
Stay with your partners!
261
00:17:20,120 –> 00:17:22,759
Wanda, is there something you’d like to tell
us?
262
00:17:22,840 –> 00:17:28,358
I’m sorry! Really I am! I didn’t know when l
called Larry what I know now!
263
00:17:28,480 –> 00:17:33,793
Oh why do I always have to do something
when I should just leave well enough alone??
264
00:17:34,400 –> 00:17:37,836
Sometimes action has a certain attraction,
Wanda.
265
00:17:37,920 –> 00:17:40,718
And now is one of those times!!!
266
00:17:41,040 –> 00:17:42,678
I’ve got it!!!
267
00:17:44,400 –> 00:17:46,197
Good idea!
268
00:17:48,040 –> 00:17:49,758
Hey, help!
269
00:18:01,000 –> 00:18:02,433
Put these on! And hurry!!
270
00:18:02,560 –> 00:18:04,516
You have GOT to be joking!
271
00:18:04,680 –> 00:18:07,274
You want us to WEAR these things?
272
00:18:07,440 –> 00:18:09,158
Do you have a better idea…?
273
00:18:15,920 –> 00:18:17,558
Seatbelts, everyone!!
274
00:18:19,040 –> 00:18:20,917
Here we go!
275
00:18:37,120 –> 00:18:40,112
LARRY, LARRY!!
276
00:18:40,200 –> 00:18:40,916
Who’s that?
277
00:18:47,200 –> 00:18:50,192
What on earth do you think you’re doing,
Lawrence??
278
00:18:50,280 –> 00:18:51,599
I…uh…uh…
279
00:18:51,680 –> 00:18:55,832
I’m from The Organization of Log Gremlins,
Local 1 19.
280
00:18:55,920 –> 00:18:57,273
You are?
281
00:18:59,120 –> 00:19:00,075
And frankly…
282
00:19:00,160 –> 00:19:06,554
the OLG doesn’t like people coming along
and unnecessarily shaking things up.
283
00:19:06,640 –> 00:19:10,235
Tell me, Larry. What do you see when you
look around here??
284
00:19:10,520 –> 00:19:13,557
Well, I see…a routine rot removal!
285
00:19:13,640 –> 00:19:16,757
Well, look again! See that dead log?
286
00:19:16,880 –> 00:19:19,030
Did you know it’s a theme park,
287
00:19:19,120 –> 00:19:24,035
a restaurant, a recycling center and
Wandaworld all rotted into one?
288
00:19:24,120 –> 00:19:28,750
You wouldn’t believe how many creatures are
in there!! And you know what else?
289
00:19:28,880 –> 00:19:31,599
Uh, no… what else?
290
00:19:31,720 –> 00:19:34,473
They are nature’s Rot Squad, Larry.
291
00:19:34,720 –> 00:19:38,508
Rot is a wonderful thing, a necessary thing!
292
00:19:38,600 –> 00:19:42,752
Rot is nature recycling itself, creating the new
from the old!
293
00:19:42,880 –> 00:19:43,630
Good one, Wanda!
294
00:19:43,720 –> 00:19:44,789
You told him!!
295
00:19:47,600 –> 00:19:52,390
Um…I get it, is there a hidden camera around
here someplace?
296
00:19:52,480 –> 00:19:54,232
Come on you guys.
297
00:19:57,800 –> 00:19:59,199
Face it, Lawrence.
298
00:19:59,320 –> 00:20:03,438
Removing this log is an imposition on
decomposition.
299
00:20:03,520 –> 00:20:07,832
I…I had no idea rotting logs had such eloquent
spokesgremlins.
300
00:20:16,400 –> 00:20:19,790
But… how come I never heard them before?
301
00:20:21,560 –> 00:20:24,313
…I probably shouldn’t be operating heavy
machinery…
302
00:20:35,240 –> 00:20:38,710
That gremlin idea was a stroke of genius
Wanda.
303
00:20:38,800 –> 00:20:41,439
Thanks, Arnold. But I’ll tell you something.
304
00:20:41,600 –> 00:20:44,876
From now on, I’m going to leave well enough
alone!
305
00:20:48,520 –> 00:20:51,956
Wanda, what should we do? What should we
do?? What should we do???
306
00:20:52,080 –> 00:20:56,437
Come on, Arnold…! Everybody back on the
bus!
307
00:20:56,520 –> 00:20:57,635
WHAT?!?
308
00:21:03,240 –> 00:21:09,190
Do you two have an particular plans for that
odoriferous collection of rot?
309
00:21:09,280 –> 00:21:12,238
Rot is an important part of nature, right?
310
00:21:12,320 –> 00:21:13,196
Right.
311
00:21:13,880 –> 00:21:18,351
And one of its uses is to provide food for other
living things… so…
312
00:21:18,440 –> 00:21:20,032
Who’s up for a picnic?
313
00:21:20,280 –> 00:21:21,315
YUCK!
314
00:21:21,400 –> 00:21:24,437
But Wanda! Arnold! That’s disgusting!
315
00:21:24,560 –> 00:21:26,357
Not if you’re my tree!
316
00:21:27,840 –> 00:21:30,832
Yumm, yumm! Compost!
317
00:21:30,920 –> 00:21:36,313
As I also always say, it doesn’t have to be
delicious to be nutritious!
318
00:21:46,320 –> 00:21:47,514
Is it the magic school bus?
319
00:21:47,640 –> 00:21:51,918
Is it the magic school bus?
320
00:21:52,080 –> 00:21:52,990
Is it the magic school bus?
321
00:21:53,080 –> 00:21:54,069
Is it the magic school bus?
322
00:21:54,280 –> 00:21:55,679
Is it the magic school bus?
323
00:21:55,840 –> 00:21:59,674
stay tune with us and be a smart kid
324
00:22:12,560 –> 00:22:15,916
Oh, Liz! You can’t bring that in here!
325
00:22:16,960 –> 00:22:20,589
Hello! Magic School Bus!
326
00:22:20,720 –> 00:22:24,713
Hi! Are you responsible for that show I just
saw on decomposition?
327
00:22:25,720 –> 00:22:26,709
Why do you ask?
328
00:22:26,800 –> 00:22:30,076
Because it was rotten! (laughs)
329
00:22:30,160 –> 00:22:31,309
No kidding!
330
00:22:31,640 –> 00:22:35,838
No, wait! I was kidding! But I’ve got to tell
you, I’ve seen some rotten things in my time
331
00:22:36,120 –> 00:22:38,475
but they’re not always filled with bugs and
fungus!
332
00:22:39,480 –> 00:22:43,951
That’s because a lot of rot is caused by things
too small to see.
333
00:22:44,080 –> 00:22:46,196
We wanted to shrink down to the size of
bacteria,
334
00:22:46,280 –> 00:22:47,838
but Arnold wouldn’t go.
335
00:22:49,880 –> 00:22:51,632
Is there anything that doesn’t rot?
336
00:22:51,720 –> 00:22:53,233
Not if it was once alive.
337
00:22:53,360 –> 00:22:56,955
Plants, animals and bacteria, they all
decompose after they die.
338
00:22:57,040 –> 00:22:59,554
Even the rottest eventually rot.
339
00:22:59,720 –> 00:23:01,233
Okay, so tell me this –
340
00:23:01,320 –> 00:23:05,233
there’s a fallen log across the street from my
house that’s been there since last summer.
341
00:23:05,360 –> 00:23:06,395
When’s it going to rot?
342
00:23:06,480 –> 00:23:10,917
It’s already decomposing, but rot can take a
long time… years even!
343
00:23:11,000 –> 00:23:14,470
But it will eventually return to the soil, just like
the log in the show.
344
00:23:14,720 –> 00:23:17,792
Like I said, almost everything rot.
345
00:23:17,880 –> 00:23:21,475
Yeah, how come you almost totally ignored
one of my favorite creatures?
346
00:23:21,560 –> 00:23:23,073
I did? Which one?
347
00:23:23,720 –> 00:23:25,358
The earthworm!
348
00:23:25,480 –> 00:23:27,550
Funny you should say that.
349
00:23:27,640 –> 00:23:29,437
Earthworms should not be ignored!
350
00:23:31,360 –> 00:23:35,638
Never! Earthworms are very good at eating
and plowing and improving soil!
351
00:23:35,880 –> 00:23:38,394
Then that what they should be left to do.
352
00:23:38,480 –> 00:23:43,349
You know I was thinking, what if there were no
rot if nothing rotted ever.
353
00:23:43,440 –> 00:23:46,716
Then the soil wouldn’t get back the nutrients
that plants need to grow.
354
00:23:46,840 –> 00:23:50,992
Most plants will die, and the earth would
become barren like a desert.
355
00:23:54,520 –> 00:23:56,078
-And you know what. -What?
356
00:23:56,320 –> 00:23:59,153
There are no such things as log gremlins.
357
00:24:01,200 –> 00:24:04,636
Well, it depends on whom you talk to…
358
00:24:05,240 –> 00:24:06,309
THE END
