works helps me play it better.
Wait. Concert? Concert!
I have to leave now
or I'll miss it!

I'll just meet you out front.

exactly are we going?

has inspired me...
Wait-- we're leaving?
Already?

work on my song!

we walked all this way
and we're not going IN?

must be really important to him.
I wonder how it will turn out?

we'll find out.
Berby wants to send
us forward in time.

was write music,
learn how his organ works,
walk forever to see a concert,
practice the same song
over and over and--

If you want to get
better at something,
you have to work
hard and practice.

Today we're meeting
someone very exciting.
Real life scientist,
Marie Curie.
Yadina: That's her. She
was born in the year ,
in a country called Poland.
Brad: There are lots of
different kinds of scientists,
but Marie is known
for being a chemist.
Brad: Woah!
Yadina: Wow!
Brad: Wuh! Uh oh.
Eek! Ah!
Xavier: Chemists are
people who figure out
what stuff is made of.
Yadina: Like why
are clouds so puffy,
Pfffff!
or how does water turn into ice?
Start the show,
start the show. Whaaah!
Brad: (sigh)
I love butterflies.
Yadina:
They're very fluttery.
Xavier: Totally.
Brad: They start out
as just fuzzy little
caterpillars,
then they grow wings, and fly.
Brad: I can't wait to
join the butterfly club
so I can learn all about them.

Brad: (gasps)
They're here.
Excuse me, is the
butterfly club starting?
Club Leader:
Yes. Just inside.
Brad: Cool. Um,
what does that
"ten plus" mean?
Club Leader:
Oh, you have to be at least
ten years old to join the club.
Brad: (gasps) But I'm
not years old yet.
Club Leader:
Oh, sorry.
But, you can visit the butterfly
garden when we're done.
Brad: But, I want
to join the club
so I can learn more
about butterflies.
What am I going to do?
Xavier: I don't know, but,
I do know how to find out.
Brad: Um...
Yes. Let's do it!
Yadina: To the Secret Museum!

Xavier: (humming)
Berby: Woooo!
We're getting something.
Yadina: What is it?
Brad: I think it's a test tube.
Yadina: Like for potions?
Xavier: Maybe it's a wizard's
potion to make you older!
Yadina: Or turn you
into a butterfly!
Brad: It says here it
belonged to Marie Curie.
That's who we're meeting.
Xavier: Hm. She doesn't
look like a wizard.
But, I've never met
a wizard before,
so maybe she does.
Yadina: Hey, look. We're
going to Poland to meet her.
In the year .
Brad: That's over
a hundred years ago!
I wonder how Marie Curie
can get me into
the butterfly club?
Xavier: I'm still
thinking wizardly magic.
But, only one way to find out.
Ready for an adventure?
Yadina: Ready.
Brad: (deep breath)
...Ready.

A magic spell?
Brad: (gasp)
She is a wizard!
Yadina: Xavier, we're in Poland.
Where people speak Polish?
Use the translator!
Xavier: Oh. Right.
Marie: Curie Przepraszam...
Sorry, again.
I'm just excited
to get to school.
We're doing math and science
today - which I love.
So I want to learn all I can.
Brad: That's how I feel
about butterflies.
Did you know there are over
, different types?
Marie Curie: So you're
a butterfly scientist?
I want to be a scientist, too.
Someday I want to
discover something
no one has ever found before!
Brad: How do you do that?
Marie Curie: Follow me.
I'll show you.
Marie Curie: This
is a University.
A big school for older kids.
Someday, I'll go here
to learn more about science.
Marie Curie: That is
the chemistry lab.
Yadina: Wow.
Brad: Think they might
have a butterfly club?
Marie Curie: I don't
know. Let's find out.
Marie Curie: Hello.
Do you know where the
university science rooms are?
Or the butterfly club?
Older Girl:
Me? No.
The university is
for boys only.
Kids: (gasp!)
Boys only?
That's not fair!
Marie Curie: But, I need
to go to the University
to become a scientist.
It's my dream.
Xavier: Not-so-cool fact:
things were really
different in .
Brad: (sighs)
I guess Marie Curie
doesn't get to follow her dream
of going to university,
just like I don't get
to follow my dream
of being in the butterfly club.
Marie Curie: No!
I will follow my dream
no matter what!
I just don't know how yet.
Older Girl: I know a
place for girls like us.
Marie Curie:
(gasps) You do?
Older Girl: Come on!
Older Girl: Welcome to
The Flying University.
Yadina: Woah.
Brad: A flying university?
Do they teach you how to fly?
Or maybe the whole house flies?
Or maybe...
(dreamy sigh)
it's a school for butterflies.
Older Girl: Oh,
it's even better.
(giggles)
Older Girl: Since
regular universities
do not allow girls,
we made our own!
Marie: (gasps)
Oh!
Marie Curie: Look
at all the books...
the equipment...
the math equations.
Yadina: Aw, she's so happy.
Xavier: Yeah. She sure is.
Brad: I wonder if Marie will
get to follow her dream
of discovering something new?
Yadina: Looks like we're
about to find out.
Berby: Yippie!
Xavier: Whoa.
Brad: Phew! Where are we?
Yadina: Looks like a
fan-cy science lab.
Brad: Do you think
Marie Curie is here?
Xavier: Let's spread
out and look.
Xavier: Marie Curie?
Are you in here?
Brad: Hello? Marie?
Yadina: Oh Cuuuurie.
Yooo hoooo.
Yadina: Dr. Zoom, now isn't
the time to play scientist.
(squeak)
Curie: Brad, Xavier,
Yadina - over here!
Brad: Marie. This lab is great!
You really get to
study science here now?
Marie Curie: Here? No.
I made my own lab.
I'll show you.
Brad: Okay. Let's go.
We'd love to see it.
Yadina: You made your own lab?
Marie Curie:
After I finished school,
I wanted to keep
studying science.
So...
Marie Curie: Ta-da.
I built this lab myself.
Xavier: Cool.
Brad: Wow.
Marie Curie: Here I can do all
the science experiments I want.
And keep on learning.
It's like a science club house.
I like it!
Brad: Your very own place
where you can keep working
and learning all about
the thing you love.
Xavier: Whatever that is!
What is that?
Marie Curie: That is
something I've been working on
a long time.
I'm hoping to discover
something brand new.
Let's look...
Let me just do this,
and that...
And pour this through.
Mhm.
Marie: Oh!
Xavier/Yadina/Brad: Wow!
Curie: Oh yes, I did it!
I really did it!
I discovered something no
one has ever found before!
(giggles)
Brad: Marie Curie
followed her dream...
No matter what.
Xavier, Yadina, I have to
get back to the museum!
Yadina: You know how to get
into the butterfly club now?
Brad: Nope.
Marie Curie gave
me a better idea!
Xavier: We have to go, Marie.
But nice work finding
that glowing green stuff.
Yadina: Keep doing science.
Brad: Bye, Marie Curie!
Thank you for
following your dream!
Brad: She's in there,
and she discovered
something incredible.

Xavier: Yeah...great
idea about making your...
own club.
Butterfly Club Leader: Hey,
what's going on in here?
Brad: Oh hi, this is the, um...
Junior Butterfly club.
Butterfly Club Leader: Oh. So,
does that mean us
big kids can't join?
Brad: Uh....
Uh...
(nervous laugh)
You want to join?
My club? Yes!
It can be an everyone
butterfly club.
C'mon in!
(excited chattering)
Xavier: (hushed) Brad.
Yadina: Look!
Brad: Awwe.
Brad: Meeting Marie Curie,
and her very own lab,
was really great.
Brad: She didn't
let anything stop her
from doing amazing things.
Yadina: Like winning the biggest
award in all of science:
The Nobel Prize.
Xavier: Twice.
For two totally different
types of science.
She was the first
person ever to do that.
Yadina: Wow.
Brad: Thanks for joining
our awesome adventure
to meet real life scientist
Marie Curie.
Yadina: Who used to be a
kid just like you and me,
so kids like you can
change the world.
Xavier: I'm Xavier.
Yadina: I am Yadina.
Brad: I am Brad,
and I will always

no matter what.
Just like Marie Curie.

(laughing)
Today we're meeting
someone very exciting.
Real life scientist,
Marie Curie.
Yadina: That's her. She
was born in the year ,
in a country called Poland.
Brad: There are lots of
different kinds of scientists,
but Marie is known
for being a chemist.
Brad: Woah!
Yadina: Wow!
Brad: Wuh! Uh oh.
Eek! Ah!
Xavier: Chemists are
people who figure out
what stuff is made of.
Yadina: Like why
are clouds so puffy,
Pfffff!
or how does water turn into ice?
Start the show,
start the show. Whaaah!
Brad: (sigh)
I love butterflies.
Yadina:
They're very fluttery.
Xavier: Totally.
Brad: They start out
as just fuzzy little
caterpillars,
then they grow wings, and fly.
Brad: I can't wait to
join the butterfly club
so I can learn all about them.

Brad: (gasps)
They're here.
Excuse me, is the
butterfly club starting?
Club Leader:
Yes. Just inside.

what does that
"ten plus" mean?
Club Leader:
Oh, you have to be at least
ten years old to join the club.
Brad: (gasps) But I'm
not years old yet.
Club Leader:
Oh, sorry.
But, you can visit the butterfly
garden when we're done.
Brad: But, I want
to join the club
so I can learn more
about butterflies.
What am I going to do?
Xavier: I don't know, but,
I do know how to find out.
Brad: Um...
Yes. Let's do it!

Brad: I think it's a test tube.
Yadina: Like for potions?
Xavier: Maybe it's a wizard's
potion to make you older!
Yadina: Or turn you
into a butterfly!
Brad: It says here it
belonged to Marie Curie.
That's who we're meeting.
Xavier: Hm. She doesn't
look like a wizard.
But, I've never met
a wizard before,
so maybe she does.
Yadina: Hey, look. We're
going to Poland to meet her.
In the year .
Brad: That's over
a hundred years ago!
I wonder how Marie Curie
can get me into
the butterfly club?

thinking wizardly magic.
But, only one way to find out.
Ready for an adventure?

Yadina: Xavier, we're in Poland.
Where people speak Polish?
Use the translator!
Xavier: Oh. Right.
Marie: Curie Przepraszam...
Sorry, again.
I'm just excited
to get to school.
We're doing math and science
today - which I love.
So I want to learn all I can.
Brad: That's how I feel
about butterflies.
Did you know there are over
, different types?
Marie Curie: So you're
a butterfly scientist?
I want to be a scientist, too.
Someday I want to
discover something
no one has ever found before!
Brad: How do you do that?
Marie Curie: Follow me.
I'll show you.
Marie Curie: This
is a University.
A big school for older kids.
Someday, I'll go here
to learn more about science.
Marie Curie: That is
the chemistry lab.
Yadina: Wow.
Brad: Think they might
have a butterfly club?
Marie Curie: I don't
know. Let's find out.
Marie Curie: Hello.
Do you know where the
university science rooms are?
Or the butterfly club?
Older Girl:
Me? No.
The university is
for boys only.
Kids: (gasp!)
Boys only?
That's not fair!
Marie Curie: But, I need
to go to the University
to become a scientist.
It's my dream.
Xavier: Not-so-cool fact:
things were really
different in .
Brad: (sighs)
I guess Marie Curie
doesn't get to follow her dream
of going to university,
just like I don't get
to follow my dream
of being in the butterfly club.
Marie Curie: No!
I will follow my dream
no matter what!
I just don't know how yet.
Older Girl: I know a
place for girls like us.
Marie Curie:
(gasps) You do?
Older Girl: Come on!
Older Girl: Welcome to
The Flying University.
Yadina: Woah.
Brad: A flying university?
Do they teach you how to fly?
Or maybe the whole house flies?
Or maybe...
(dreamy sigh)
it's a school for butterflies.
Older Girl: Oh,
it's even better.
(giggles)
Older Girl: Since
regular universities
do not allow girls,
we made our own!
Marie: (gasps)
Oh!
Marie Curie: Look
at all the books...
the equipment...
the math equations.
Yadina: Aw, she's so happy.
Xavier: Yeah. She sure is.
Brad: I wonder if Marie will
get to follow her dream
of discovering something new?
Yadina: Looks like we're
about to find out.
Berby: Yippie!
Xavier: Whoa.
Brad: Phew! Where are we?
Yadina: Looks like a
fan-cy science lab.

Marie Curie is here?
Xavier: Let's spread
out and look.
Xavier: Marie Curie?
Are you in here?
Brad: Hello? Marie?
Yadina: Oh Cuuuurie.
Yooo hoooo.
Yadina: Dr. Zoom, now isn't
the time to play scientist.
(squeak)
Curie: Brad, Xavier,
Yadina - over here!
Brad: Marie. This lab is great!
You really get to
study science here now?
Marie Curie: Here? No.
I made my own lab.
I'll show you.
Brad: Okay. Let's go.
We'd love to see it.
Yadina: You made your own lab?
Marie Curie:
After I finished school,
I wanted to keep
studying science.
So...
Marie Curie: Ta-da.
I built this lab myself.
Xavier: Cool.
Brad: Wow.
Marie Curie: Here I can do all
the science experiments I want.
And keep on learning.
It's like a science club house.
I like it!
Brad: Your very own place
where you can keep working
and learning all about
the thing you love.
Xavier: Whatever that is!
What is that?
Marie Curie: That is
something I've been working on
a long time.
I'm hoping to discover
something brand new.
Let's look...
Let me just do this,
and that...
And pour this through.
Mhm.
Marie: Oh!
Xavier/Yadina/Brad: Wow!
Curie: Oh yes, I did it!
I really did it!
I discovered something no
one has ever found before!
(giggles)
Brad: Marie Curie
followed her dream...
No matter what.
Xavier, Yadina, I have to
get back to the museum!
Yadina: You know how to get
into the butterfly club now?
Brad: Nope.
Marie Curie gave
me a better idea!
Xavier: We have to go, Marie.
But nice work finding
that glowing green stuff.
Yadina: Keep doing science.
Brad: Bye, Marie Curie!
Thank you for
following your dream!
Brad: She's in there,
and she discovered
something incredible.
Xavier: Berby? Let's go home!

idea about making your...
own club.
Butterfly Club Leader: Hey,
what's going on in here?
Brad: Oh hi, this is the, um...
Junior Butterfly club.
Butterfly Club Leader: Oh. So,
does that mean us
big kids can't join?
Brad: Uh....
Uh...

You want to join?
My club? Yes!
It can be an everyone
butterfly club.
C'mon in!

Xavier: (hushed) Brad.
Yadina: Look!
Brad: Awwe.
Brad: Meeting Marie Curie,
and her very own lab,
was really great.
Brad: She didn't
let anything stop her
from doing amazing things.
Yadina: Like winning the biggest
award in all of science:
The Nobel Prize.
Xavier: Twice.
For two totally different
types of science.
She was the first
person ever to do that.
Yadina: Wow.
Brad: Thanks for joining
our awesome adventure
to meet real life scientist
Marie Curie.
Yadina: Who used to be a
kid just like you and me,
so kids like you can
