Why, thank you.

We're playing ball.

We were playing soccer, but we lost the ball.

(Barney) okay.

I have it. I have it. I--

Oh, I don't have it.

[Laughter]

Sorry about that, barney.

Oh, that's okay.

Let's go get it.

(Barney) all right.

Good throw, though.

It's in there somewhere.

Yeah, nice throw.

Hey, I don't see it anywhere.

Me neither.

I thought it landed over here.

That's strange.

This is the second ball we've lost today.

Wonder what's going on here.

Well, I don't quite know.

Maybe we ought to play tetherball for a while.

It'd be hard to lose that ball.

Good thinking, cuz.

(Tracy) great idea.

I wonder what could be happening to those ba*ls.

Do you know?

All right. Let's do this, beej.

(B.j.) Okay, riff.

Comin' at you!

All righty!

(All) whoa!

Guess I don't know my own strength.

Guess not.

I'll get it. Sorry.

(Marcos) we'll help you. (Tracy) yeah.

(Barney) okay, let's go, everyone.

(Marcos) come on.

Hey, that's weird.

I saw it land over here.

But now it's gone too.

It's like all the ba*ls are disappearing.

Oh, they must be here somewhere.

Unless someone took it.

Or some thing.

[Laughs]

What are you talking about, beej?

There's a ball-taker somewhere around here.

A ball-taker? Right.

You know, somebody or some thing

Who's taking all the ba*ls in the park.

Is he serious, barney? For real?

Well, we don't really know what happened.

It's a bit of a mystery.

It's a very mysterious mystery.

And I know just who can solve it!

Ha-ha!

Wh-- where's he going, barney?

I'm not sure. I'll go see.

Be back in a minute.

(All) bye, barney.

Whoa, what have we here?

Detective b.j.'S my name,

Solving mysteries, my game.

I see.

And what's this?

Aha! Just what I've been looking for.

What have you been looking for, b.j.?

A helper.

Will you be my helper, please?

Oh, I'd be dee-lighted, detective b.j.

I'm going to solve the mystery of...

The missing ba*ls.

I'll find them if it's the last thing I do.

Oh, great!

Wh-wh-wh-- oh, man.

Is everything okay?

Well, I lost my magnifying glass.

Uh, b.j.

Huh?

Oh!

[Laughs]

Thanks, helper barney. Sure.

Now I'm going to find...

Those missing ba*ls.

Well, that's a very nice way to help your friends.

Well, that's what detectives do, right?

Oh, barney! B.j.!

You're not going to believe it.

We were playing basketball, and it disappeared,

Just like the others.

Your basketball disappeared?

Yes!

Aha!

The mystery grows even more mysterious.

Never fear.

Detective b.j. Is on the case.

All right. Come with me, helper barney.

I'm right behind you, detective b.j.

(B.j.) Make haste.

(Barney) okay, let's go.

(B.j.) This is weird.

Better now.

Better now.

You're sure it was here?

Yup, it rolled right over this way.

And when we came to get it...

It was gone.

Aha!

Never fear.

Detective b.j. Is on the case.

So what are you going to do,

Detective b.j.?

Elementary. Well, i--

[Clears throat] yeah?

[Whispering] what am I going to do, helper barney?

(Barney) well, a detective solves mysteries

By looking closely at the world around him.

Oh, that's right.

[Whispering] and how do I do that?

(Barney) he does it by using all five of his senses.

Right!

Five senses. That's right.

And what are those?

(Barney) let me show you.

We see with our eyes... Eyes.

Hear with our ears,

Touch with our fingers,

Smell with our noses,

And taste with our mouths.

And those are our five senses.

Can you show me things you can do

With your five senses?

[Twinkling]

(B.j.) Observe.

We must leave no leaf unturned.

Aha.

Aha!

I see something.

(Barney) oh, what do you see, detective b.j.?

I see a little bitty bug on this flower.

[Laughs]

You think the bug took the ba*ls?

Well, you can never tell.

These bugs can be very tricky.

Now, then, I shall look for some clues

Using my other senses.

Wow! Whoa!

(Barney) well, hello, there, josh.

Hiya, barney.

(All) hi!

Has anybody seen a baseball around here?

I was throwing it with my friend,

But now we can't find it anywhere.

Oh, no. Another ball is missing.

Drat! Could you show us exactly what happened, josh?

Sure, I was standing over there,

And I threw the ball,

And it went flying over this way.

Aha! Whoa.

It landed by these plants.

When I got over here, I heard a strange sound.

What kind of sound was it?

Helper barney, please.

I'm the detective.

I think I can handle this.

(Barney) oh, of course.

What kind of sound was it, josh?

It sounded sort of like this...

[Branches rustling]

Aha!

I've solved the mystery.

The ball-taker was...

This bush.

[Laughs]

You really think so, cuz?

Perhaps.

I'll keep looking.

(Tracy) hey, what's this?

Huh?

It feels like some kind of animal fur.

Oh, aha.

[Sniffing]

It smells familiar.

I've smelled this smell before,

But I'm not sure where.

Well, don't worry, detective b.j.

I'm sure you'll solve this mystery.

Now, let's see.

I've used most of my senses.

I saw the bug with my eyes,

Heard the bush with my ears,

Touched the fur with my fingers,

And smelled it with my nose.

That's everything but taste,

And there's nothing here to taste.

Oh, well, you better do something soon,

Or all the ba*ls will be gone.

Come on, guys.

Let's keep looking. Good idea.

What am I going to do, barney?

I have to help my friends.

They need me.

But I don't know what to do.

If you keep thinking,

I'm sure you'll come up with something.

Yes, that's it, helper barney.

Think.

Think, think, thinkety-think.

Thinkety-thinkety, thinkety-think.

Think, think, thinkety-think.

Thinkety-thinkety thinkety-think.

I know I can do this.

[Barney humming]

Whoa! Oh, detective b.j.

My, that's the, uh,

Biggest one of those I've ever seen.

Why, thank you.

It's a ball-taker-catcher.

Oh, right.

All it needs is this.

The ball-taker will see it and try to take it,

And my invention will catch him...

Or her... Or it.

Come on, let's hide and wait.

Okay, detective b.j.

But you'll need to be careful

You catch the right ball-taker.

Oh, right, helper barney, sure, sure.

Okay, here I come.

Let me out of here!

Who turned off the lights?

[All exclaiming]

Who is it? See? Aha!

I told you

Detective b.j. Would catch that ball-taker.

You really did it.

Good going, b.j.

Great job!

(B.j.) And now for the unmasking.

Observe.

Aha!

Riff?

(All) riff?

Whoa, thanks, guys.

You mean it was you taking the ba*ls?

Huh?

I didn't take anything.

But my invention caught you...

With that.

What? Oh, yeah, this.

Well, I have this because--

Oh, I can't believe it.

Riff, my own cousin,

My own best friend,

The ball-taker.

But, b.j., I--

I never would have guessed.

Was there something you wanted to say, riff?

Yeah.

I was walking by, and I saw the ball

And decided to put it away so it wouldn't get taken.

And then a blanket fell on me.

You mean you aren't the ball-taker?

No way.

Oh.

I can't believe you thought it was me.

Oh, riff, riff, come back.

Oh, no.

I called my own best friend the ball-taker.

Now I've hurt his feelings.

We'll go talk to him, b.j.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh.

We all make mistakes sometimes.

You got that right, barney.

This is a doozy.

♪ Oh, oh, oh, what a big mistake ♪

♪ No, no, no

♪ Look, my knees have started to shake ♪

♪ Whoa, whoa, whoa

♪ This is more than I can take ♪

♪ Oh, oh, oh, what a big mistake ♪

♪ I thought things were going okay ♪

♪ But they turned out wrong

Ha-cha-cha-cha-cha.

♪ And I hope everything works out ♪

♪ Before too long

♪ But until they do I'm gonna sing this song ♪

Ha-ha-ha!

♪ For goodness' sake

♪ Is that you can learn

♪ I can learn

♪ Yes, you can learn

♪ From your mistakes

♪ Cha-cha-cha

I want to learn from my mistake, barney,

But I don't know how to fix this.

Riff is my all-time best friend.

I should've known he didn't take those ba*ls,

But I didn't even listen

When he tried to tell me the truth.

Oh, barney, how can I ever tell him

How sorry I am?

Oh, I think he knows.

Huh?

Hey, cuz, everybody makes mistakes.

Riff, can you ever forgive me?

Ah, sure.

Thanks.

But next time, don't make up your mind

Till you know the whole story.

Oh, I won't, riff,

Not ever, never again.

Of course, we still don't know who's taking the ba*ls.

Yeah. Right.

But I feel better.

Oh, I think I do.

Huh? What?

Hey, who's that?

[Barking]

(B.j.) Is that the ball-taker?

[Laughs]

It was a dog!

Aw.

(B.j.) And here are the missing ba*ls.

[All exclaiming]

[Barks]

There you are, fetch.

Did he take your ball?

Uh-huh.

(Woman) oh, I'm so sorry.

He really likes to fetch.

That's how he got his name.

Watch. Fetch.

Look at him go. There he goes.

Whoa!

Oh, boy!

Good job, fetch.

(Barney) good dog.

(Riff) he can really fetch.

Well, let's go.

Bye, barney. Bye, everyone.

(All) bye.

All along, it was a little dog.

I can't believe it.

For no reason at all.
