00:00:00hut, hut, hut, hut!
00:00:03Ah, finally, the summit!
00:00:04(panting) It's beautiful, sir!
00:00:08(gasps) Is that a comb?
00:00:11General: No, son, that's just a hair clip.
00:00:14Well, no time for sightseeing.
00:00:16All right, you lousy bunch of bugs!
00:00:19I want to see a nit on every single hair in a ten-inch radius.
00:00:24Now!
00:00:24Lice: Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut, hut.
00:00:28General: Mm-hmm, yes.
00:00:31Good job.
00:00:32Uh, General?
00:00:33You've never actually seen a comb, have you?
00:00:37Yes, I've seen a comb, son.
00:00:39In fact, it took off my fifth leg.
00:00:44But I lived!
00:00:45And I'll keep on living until we've conquered every head in this entire city!
00:00:51We are lice, son!
00:00:54And nothing can ever get rid of us.
00:00:58Nothing!
00:00:59(laughing hysterically) (Muffy grumbling) Hey!
00:01:10Oops.
00:01:18Nice hair.
00:01:20Thanks.
00:01:21Not his--yours.
00:01:22Ilovethose purple highlights.
00:01:25(gasps) (band practicing march tune) Sorry.
00:01:42Muffy: Francine!
00:01:43I'm open, I'm open!
00:01:50(cries out) Muffy, you said you were open!
00:01:54You could have scored!
00:01:56I'm sorry, Francine.
00:01:57It's this darn itchy head.
00:01:59It's been bothering me a day.
00:02:02Go to the nurse.
00:02:02It might be head lice.
00:02:03My sister had it and it started with an itch.
00:02:07I couldn't have head lice.
00:02:08That's something that dirty people get.
00:02:12That's not true.
00:02:12Look at Buster.
00:02:13He's never had head lice.
00:02:18Muffy: You see, suzette, my nanny, washes my hair every day so I couldn't have...
00:02:24(grumbling) Thatwas in my hair?
00:02:29I'm afraid so.
00:02:31Help! I'm covered in bugs!
00:02:33Actually, head lice only live on the head.
00:02:38What if the other kids find out?
00:02:40I'll be treated like a "leopard"!
00:02:42I'll be "ostrich-ized"!
00:02:49Muffy!
00:02:50I have your math homework!
00:02:53(bugs buzzing) (squawks) (gasps) Oh, Ms. Flynn, promise you won't tell anyone!
00:03:09Please, please, please!
00:03:11Calm down, Muffy.
00:03:13If you and your parents follow my instructions you'll be able to get rid of the lice.
00:03:19Hi!
00:03:20Francine, what are you doing here?!
00:03:22I wanted to see what the nurse said.
00:03:25So, do you have head lice?
00:03:27Me? Head lice?
00:03:28I don't have head lice!
00:03:29The nurse said that I was just...
00:03:32thinking too hard.
00:03:35Uh, why are we here?
00:03:36What's the meaning of life?
00:03:38Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
00:03:43Hey, Muffy!
00:03:43You dropped your hat!
00:03:47Ooh! So soft!
00:03:50Get ready.
00:03:50The new head is approaching.
00:03:52Head for the scalp!
00:03:54On the double!
00:03:55Lice: Hut! hut! hut! hut!
00:03:56Hut! Hut! Hut! Hut!
00:03:57General: Contact!
00:03:59Francine: Mmm!
00:04:02(with French accent): Bend your head.
00:04:05We have to put the "Nit Hit" lice shampoo on.
00:04:08(sobbing) This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me.
00:04:13Life is so unfair!
00:04:16Muffy, dear, you're overreacting.
00:04:19EvenIhad head lice when I was a child.
00:04:22Ah, yes, I remember it well.
00:04:28(sobbing) This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me!
00:04:34Life is so unfair!
00:04:38You'll have to stay home tomorrow and we'll have to get everything cleaned-- the sheets and towels, your clothes...
00:04:45even the carpet.
00:04:47Of course, we could use this as an opportunity to redecorate!
00:04:53Yippee!
00:04:54Francine: Have you seen muffy?
00:04:56I have her hat.
00:04:58No-- maybe she's out sick today.
00:05:00Hey, that's really pretty!
00:05:05Nice hat!
00:05:07Scrumptious!
00:05:08Oh, it feels so expensive!
00:05:11(clearing throat) I have an important announcement.
00:05:14Yesterday, a case of head lice was reported at school.
00:05:18This week, you will all have to have your hair checked by me every morning.
00:05:23(gasps) I knew it!
00:05:25Muffy did have head lice!
00:05:26Also, it's very important that you do not wear anybody else's coats, scarves or hats.
00:05:33We want to try and keep the head lice from spreading.
00:05:36Lice: Hut, hut, hut, hut!
00:05:38Lieutenant: We landed four days ago, sir.
00:05:41We now have bugs on ten heads.
00:05:44Excellent!
00:05:44Soon, the entire school will be at our feet.
00:05:48(sniffing) What's that smell, sir?
00:05:51Hair gel, son.
00:05:54Isn't it wonderful?
00:05:56(inhales deeply) Ah! I love the smell of hair gel in the morning.
00:06:03It smells like...
00:06:05(lieutenant yells) General, what's happening?
00:06:08Help! Help! Help! Help...!
00:06:14Sorry, Nigel.
00:06:15Oh...
00:06:16I knew I should have gone to business school.
00:06:19All: Hut, hut, hut, hut!
00:06:22This'll do the trick.
00:06:23Mayonnaise?
00:06:24You're going to put mayonnaise on my head?
00:06:27Sure! It's what your Grandma used on me when I was a kid.
00:06:31D.W. (taunting): Ha-ha!
00:06:33Mayo-head! Mayo-head!
00:06:36Cut it out!
00:06:37Daddy, now put cheese and tomatoes on Arthur's head!
00:06:41That's right, laugh it up, D.W.
00:06:43You won't find it so funny in a minute.
00:06:46You're next.
00:06:47Me?
00:06:48Why me?
00:06:48I don't have head mice.
00:06:49They're called headlice,honey.
00:06:52And we all might have them.
00:06:55Mom: I'm sorry, d.w.
00:06:57but there may be lice hiding in their fur.
00:06:59It'll only be for a few weeks.
00:07:02Weeks?!
00:07:03Wait!
00:07:04There.
00:07:05So the animals can breathe.
00:07:09Good-bye, Poofles!
00:07:11Good-bye, Moo-Moo!
00:07:12Good-bye, Tooky!
00:07:14I'll never forget any of you.
00:07:20Cut it out, boy!
00:07:22Dad! Pal, keeps trying to eat my head!
00:07:26(sighs) I can't wait for this to be over.
00:07:29(cap squishes against pillow) Hut, hut, hut, hut!
00:07:35Binky: So, let me get this straight.
00:07:37I get to watch TV for hours and hours instead of doing homework?
00:07:42Right-- you've got a ton of nits and they're very hard to get out.
00:07:46This is so cool!
00:07:49I love lice!
00:07:53I'm clean!
00:07:54I'm clean!
00:07:55Ooh! Ooh!
00:07:57Oops! Sorry, Francine.
00:07:59You should be!
00:08:01It was an accident.
00:08:02I didn't mean to knock you down.
00:08:04Not for that!
00:08:05For giving me lice!
00:08:06I can't get rid of them.
00:08:07We've tried everything!
00:08:08Well, you must be doing something wrong.
00:08:11Yeah, talking to you.
00:08:12You started this whole thing.
00:08:14You probably have a million lice by now.
00:08:17For your information, Ms. Frensky I am nit free!
00:08:21So, ha!
00:08:24Muffy: You're doing it all wrong!
00:08:25I wanted the Big Dipper above mybed.
00:08:29(sighs) (gasps) Un pou!
00:08:33Gesundheit.
00:08:34No, Muffy.
00:08:35The lice, they are back!
00:08:38But... but that's impossible!
00:08:41Man: Did you know that this old cigar box you were going to throw out is actually worth $37?
00:08:50Thirty-seven dollars?
00:08:52Well, bless my toes!
00:08:55I can't take it anymore!
00:08:56Five straight nights of mindless television.
00:09:00Can I go to bed, please, Mom?
00:09:03Not yet, honey.
00:09:05(exasperated): Oh!
00:09:09Now we're using olive oil.
00:09:10It seems to work, and Pal doesn't eat it.
00:09:13Well, I hope it works.
00:09:14I wonder why I haven't gotten head lice.
00:09:16Everybody else seems to have them.
00:09:20(hollow, muffled breathing) This place is disgusting!
00:09:29Louse: let's go back to the teacher's head!
00:09:33Muffy: I didn't give you lice!
00:09:34You gavemelice!
00:09:37But you gave them back to me.
00:09:38Prove it!
00:09:39Prove you didn't!
00:09:40Brain: Hey, calm down, you guys.
00:09:43I've been doing some research on head lice.
00:09:45The articles say it's impossible to tell who gave it to whom.
00:09:50But lice can be harder to get rid of when you have long hair.
00:09:59They said we were going to look like models.
00:10:03We do-- boy models.
00:10:06Hmm.
00:10:07We might be able to do some pretty fun things with this haircut.
00:10:13Francine: Hey, binky, any nits?
00:10:15Nope!
00:10:17I never thought I'd say this but it's good to be back in school.
00:10:21You said it!
00:10:23Hey, you can't...
00:10:25You're in the...
00:10:26(yelling) (Muffy and Francine laughing) Two weeks since our forces landed and now I'm the last louse alive.
00:10:43The school has defeated us.
00:10:49The bunny!
00:10:50If I can just get to his head, I can hatch a new army!
00:10:57I will survive!
00:10:58Buster: Hey, george.
00:10:59Going to get your head checked?
00:11:05(louse screaming) (kids chatting) Louse: Help me! help me!
00:11:14(splat) And now...
00:11:23I know that head lice can make your head very itchy.
00:11:27But I'm really interested in mosquitoes.
00:11:30(buzzing) I'm going to the mosquito lab to learn more about mosquitoes.
00:11:37I'm Al, and you're Vondell?
00:11:39Yeah.
00:11:40Al: I'm al gettman Rhode Island mosquito abatement coordinator.
00:11:43We capture mosquitoes every week and test them.
00:11:46Vondell: They trap lots and lots of mosquitoes and check them, because mosquitoes can carry diseases.
00:11:52An infected mosquito could bite and make somebody sick.
00:11:55Vondell: I learned the different stages in the life of a mosquito.
00:12:00Adult mosquitoes lay their eggs in puddles or in artificial containers and they hatch into these wigglers which are calledmosquito larvae.
00:12:07They live like thatfor about a week.
00:12:10Then after that, they become...
00:12:12a pupa.
00:12:13Right, exactly.
00:12:14And the pupa lives for two or three days...
00:12:16and then it changes into a mosquito?
00:12:18That's right, becomes an adult mosquito.
00:12:23It's a blood-feeding insect.
00:12:23Only females drink the blood.
00:12:26(Vondell buzzing) Gettman: Well, that's what she needs to form her eggs.
00:12:30Not very nice, though, is it?
00:12:31Vondell: Al showed me how the trap works.
00:12:33The mosquito is attracted to the light bulb and you see the fan right there?
00:12:38Vondell: The light attracts mosquitoes.
00:12:40The fan pulls them down, and they're trapped in the net.
00:12:44Could she get out?
00:12:45No.
00:12:46Michelle separates them into different groups.
00:12:50This one has a brown head.
00:12:53Very good.
00:12:53Vondell: For protection spray mosquito repellent on yourself wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants.
00:13:02Kids:..
00:13:07Treasure Island, one of my favorite books.
00:13:10When I read it, I imagine I'm a pirate like Long John Silver.
00:13:17Avast! Thar's the "X." Dig up the buried treasure, lad.
00:13:25Human treasure, lad, not dog treasure.
00:13:28Keep digging.
00:13:33Okay, you can stop digging now.
00:13:36Imagining I'm someone else is one of the things I love about reading.
00:13:41But I wonder what it'd be like if I could actually besomeone else like Mr. Ratburn.
00:13:47(Ratburn clears throat) Good morning, ass.
00:13:50Let's start the day off with a little math quiz.
00:13:53(students groan) Ratburn:.. that wasn't a very big groan.
00:14:00Maybe I'm getting too soft on them.
00:14:03On second thought, let's start the day with abigmathtest!
00:14:09(students groan louder) Ah! That's more like it.
00:14:16Hey, I have an idea!
00:14:17Why don't you imagine what it's like to be me for a day and I'll imagine what it's like to be you?
00:14:28e becoming me...
00:14:31You are becoming me...
00:14:34You are becoming me...
00:14:37You are becoming me...
00:14:51(Arthur yawns) Arthur: Ten toes, ten fingers.
00:15:04Yep, I'm all here.
00:15:08(yawns) (grunts) (doll squeaks) Good morning, Arthur.
00:15:29D.W.: Arthur!
00:15:30Stop talking to yourself.
00:15:32Do you have any idea what time it is?
00:15:34It's only 7:30.
00:15:36Oh, so that's what it says.
00:15:37Well, you better get moving or you'll be late for training.
00:15:42Training? For what?
00:15:44(Pal whimpers) The 3K race-- it's today!
00:15:50Oh, no, I completely forgot I signed up for it.
00:15:55Care to enter the library's 3K race, Arthur?
