Ralphie, thinking:
Ok. This is it--tie game,
Bottom of the ninth,
Bases loaded.
All you gotta do
Is slam the ball
Over the left field fence
And win the seventh game
Of the world series!
Ralphie! Ralphie! Ralphie!
Ralphie! Ralphie!
Keesha: ralphie!
Ralphie! Wake up.
Ralphie, you're up.
Oh, right, keesha.
I knew that.
Hey, wanda,
Where's home plate?
There isn't one, ralphie.
Just pretend.
Pretend? Me?
But I'll have nothing
To slide into
When I hit a home run!
You'll have nothing to hit
If you don't let me pitch!
Oh, all right.
I'll pretend.
[Cough cough]
Hey, you guys,
Check this out!
Uhh!
I just found out
The coolest thing!
Ms. Frizzle: yoo hoo!
Liz, liz, come here.
Dorothy ann,
Not now!
I'm one swing away
From hitting my way
Into the record books!
But you've
Got to see this.
It will change
Your lives.
Whatever it is it can't
Be more important
Than our baseball game.
I just finished
This book,
"A child's garden
Of physics."
Ha ha!
Ha ha!
I'm really happy
For you, d.a.
We can't wait to hear
The book report,
But right now,
I've got a game-winning
Home run to hit,
So if you could
Just get off the field!
But, ralphie, you
Don't understand.
This book's all about
What gets things moving
And what makes them stop--
Forces, friction,
Pushes, pulls.
Forces?
Friction?
Pushes?
Pulls?
And as I always say,
"Where there's physics,
There's a field trip!"
Wa-hoo!
Listen. A force
Is just a push or a pull.
If you're gonna force
Us to listen to this...
You're being
Kind of pushy,
Don't you think?
No, no. I'm talking
About real forces.
Picture this.
There's this big red sled
Sitting in the snow,
Not going anywhere,
But if somebody comes along
And gives it a push...
Who?
It doesn't
Matter, arnold.
If somebody comes
And--
I need to know
So I can complete
My mental picture.
Yeah. Me, too.
Ok, ok.
How about...
Napoleon!
Fine.
If napoleon comes
Along and gives
The sled a push,
It will move!
That's a force.
And it will keep moving
On the slippery snow
Until something
Stops it.
Like the entire
British army?
No, like some dirt.
Things rubbing together cause
A force called friction.
The sled stops because
Of the friction of the dirt
Against the runners.
Friction slows down
And stops nearly
Every motion on earth!
You stopped
Our game to
Tell us that?
Isn't that cool?
Let us know when they
Make the movie, ok, d.a.?
Ha ha ha!
Very funny,
You guys.
Well, I think
Friction is fascinating.
Well,
I think it's--
Hey!
Dorothy ann,
Wait!
You know, that
Book does sound
Sort of cool.
It is. And look
At this, ralphie.
Page .
Hey, it's
A baseball field!
But it would be
Impossible to play
Normal baseball there.
There's no friction.
You know, dorothy ann,
This is one amazing book.
Flat, sturdy,
White,
And the right size.
Hmm...
Gee, d.a., Do you think
Maybe I could borrow it?
Sure, but you have
To promise to
Take care of it.
Scout's honor!
You're up,
Ralphie.
Thanks, d.a.
[Beep beep]
All aboard!
Now? But-but, ms. Frizzle,
We're in the middle
Of the most
Important competition
In the history
Of sports!
Just a delay
Of game, ralphie.
Delay of game?
What for?
Field trip delay.
It's time to explore
The unknown,
Be adventurous,
Brave, and bold!
[Tweet]
Let's go!
Field trip...
Yay!
Ha ha!
Just as long as
We don't get blasted,
Roasted, toasted,
Or eaten,
I'm happy.
Oh, don't worry,
Arnold.
That's not
Until next week.
Today, we're going
To a baseball game!
All right!
This is so cool.
A baseball game?
That's not new
Or different
Or exciting.
What?
What?
Let's go someplace
Really unusual--
Like that place
I showed you,
Ralphie.
You know--page ?
Show them.
Um...yeah.
Well, uh...
Ralphie!
How could you?
Well, you know, it was
The right size,
And with the white cover
And all,
It made
A great home plate.
Hey! It's not like
I ruined it!
Please, ms. Frizzle,
Can we get my book
Before we go?
No occasion
For agitation,
Dorothy ann.
We'll not only
Get your book.
We'll keep
Ralphie happy, too.
We will?
Mm-hmm.
Bus, do your stuff!
Ah, time to hit
The books! Ha ha!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Aah!
Aah!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Keesha: let me get
The facts.
Are we where
I think we are?
Yes! Yes, we are!
At my old school,
The librarian never let us
Drive in our books.
Dorothy ann:
Ms. Frizzle,
Stop here, please.
Page --
It's the page
I was talking about.
It's all about a world
Without friction.
It looks like
A world of baseball to me!
Come on!
Ralphie, watch out!
The ground
On that field has no...
Whoa!
Whoa!
Friction! Oops.
[Crash]
Whoa!
Whoa! I can't stop!
Wow! It's ralphie
The runaway pinball!
Yeah. There's
No stopping him now.
Without friction,
How are we going
To stop him?
What would happen
If something
Smashed into him?
Right. A force pushing
The other way.
But--but what
Can we use?
The only forces we can
Control in there are...
Us!
Us!

This way, class.
Something tells me
I should have
Stayed home today.
Who knew we'd wind up
Inside a drawing?
I wonder
What would happen
If I tried to run.
Whoa!
Oof!
Not a good idea!
Oh, boy, is this
Ever weird!
Hi!
Whoa!
Yo!
I can't walk. I need
Something to push against--
Like the friction of my feet
Against the ground.
These feet were
Made for friction!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Forget walking!
I just want to stand up!
How about a force
To get you going,
Dorothy ann--
Like a push?
Ha ha ha!
Whee!
Never fear, ralphie!
A push to the rescue!
Oof!
Oof!
There. I saved you.
Saved me? I was
Having a blast!
Hey, d.a., Looks like ralphie
Gave you the push-off.
That's the last time
I save him.
Whoa!
Whew. That was close.
Whoa!
Look on the bright side,
Arnold--
No friction,
No grass stains.

Ok, hit it, liz!
Now what?
Uh-oh!
Hello, sports fans!
Welcome to
The all-frizzle
Friction-free
Baseball classic.
And what a beautifully
Frictionless day it is.
Ms. Frizzle, where did you
Learn to announce like that?
You'd be surprised
What teachers do
During the summer break.
But let's talk
About the game, d.a.
Oh, yes. Well, folks,
Believe it or not,
We're coming to you live
From inside my textbook.
Our playing field today
Is slipperier than ice
And slicker than spit.
The ground out there
Has no--
We repeat--
No friction, folks.
♪♪
♪♪
♪♪
Yes, siree, baseball fans,
This could very well be
This week's
Game of the century!
On the mound is wanda,
One of the most
Outstanding pitchers
In the class.
And master of the famed
Bubblegum ball.
You ready for this,
Ralphie?
Try me.
Ms. Frizzle:
First up is ralphie,
The most fearsome
-Foot hitter
In the league.
And there's the pitch.
Whoa!
And look at that, folks.
The force wanda used
Really got
That ball going
And pushed her
Way back towards second.
It's a swing
And a miss.
Uhh!
Oops. Sorry,
Ms. Frizzle.
Ooh, and a serious
Catcher/teacher hip check.
Uhh! What's
Going on here?
Another pitch...
This one looks good!
A hot grounder down
The third base line.
But, dorothy ann,
What do you think
Has happened
To our batter?
Hey, this isn't funny!
He's spinning
Off to first!
Yes, yes. Ralphie's
Going for a double
With a spin on it!
Oh, dear!
Just look at that
Ball go, folks!
That's what happens
When there's no friction
From the ground
To slow it down.
Oops!
And look at ralphie go!
Oh, no!
Double-play!
Oof!
Ok.
I'll play second.
It's all yours!
Coming through!
Then again, maybe I'll
Back tim up in center.
Look out, keesha!
Is this baseball
Or bashball?
Holy cow! It could be
An inside-the-park homer, folks!
Whoa!
My stomach!
Coming home!
Ms. Frizzle:
And what a throw!
It's going to
Be close!
Will ralphie remember
That no friction
Means no slowing down?
Whoops! Missed me.
Is it just me,
Or are we going
To collide?
Whoa!
Do I look like
Home plate?
If you're home plate,
I must be safe.
I guess baseball
Isn't exactly
Field trip material.
Oof!
Whoa!
Whoa!
The lack of friction
Was the big pain.
Pain? I can't believe
You failed to see the wonder
Of a world
Without friction.
I'd trade all the wonder
In the world for box seats,
Which we might have had
If it weren't for
Your goofy book!
Ms. Frizzle!
Yes, dorothy ann?
I think we'd better
Call this game
Due to lack of friction!
Game!
Hit it again, liz!
Grab on, class.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah!
Well, says you!
Says you!
Says you!
Yeah!
Whee!
Whee!
All right!
It's the all-frizzle
Friction-free tug of w*r!
Then again,
Maybe not.
Very good, wanda.
A push is one force
That can
Get us moving.
What's the opposite?
A pull?
A pull!
A pull!
Excellent.
This is more like it.
Thanks, bus.
Huh? Hey!
Wait a sec.
Where is everybody?
Ha ha!
Ha ha!
Grab on, you guys!
Uhh!
Uhh!
Pull! Pull!
Pull! Pull!
Wow, you were
Right, d.a.
We had no idea
Friction did
So much.
Dorothy ann,
Could I borrow
That book
When ralphie's
Done with it?
Can i, too?
Then me!
Wait a sec. No one
Gets the book
Until we get
Out of it!
He's got a point.
I guess so.
To the bus!
Is everyone seated?
Yes, ms. Frizzle.
Then let's book it!
Ha ha ha!
Uh-oh!
What's that noise?
At my old school,
We only
Pressed flowers
In our books.
Any suggestions,
Class?
Better g*n it,
Ms. Frizzle.
Excellent idea,
Wanda.
[Engine revs]
Dorothy ann: oh, no. The cover
Of the book is pushing
Down on the bus too hard
For the wheels
To push us out!
What?
What?
What?
We're stuck!
[Pant pant]
I can't believe this!
We're stuck
In dorothy ann's book!
What will happen
To us if we
Can't get out?
Guess we'll be food
For the bookworms.
Carlos!
Carlos!
Carlos!
This is serious.
I know--a real
Heavy situation.
Oh...
Oh...
As I always say,
Those who are book-bound
Should take a look around.
This way, class.
Stay on the same page, please.
Step on it, liz!
[Vroom vroom]
There's not
Enough friction
Down here
To push the bus out.
There's too
Much friction
Up here.
Ok. Ok. Where
Do we stand?
Uh...somewhere between
Page and .
Carlos!
Carlos!
Hey. Just trying
To lighten things up.
Lighten things up.
That's it!
Climb up on the roof
And push up
On the book!
Let me get the facts.
You're saying we should
Hold up the book,
Get in the bus,
And drive away?
Yes!
How?
Good question, arnold.
Anyone have an answer?
D.a., This is
All your fault!
Ralphie,
You're a genius!
Look. The letters
Peel off the page.
I have a plan.
We split into
Two teams, right?
Right.
Ralphie's team
Goes on the roof
And pushes up
On the book
While my team piles letters
Up under here
To hold the book up.
Long enough
For us to get out.
Like this.
Exactly!
Let's do it!
Let her rip!
Carlos, take a letter.
Ha ha ha!
Excellent plan,
But why doesn't
Your team push up
On the book
While my team piles
The letters, ok? Ok.
Not ok!
Yes, ok!
Not!
Yes, ok!
Not!
D.a., What is it
Again that makes
Everything stop?
Friction.
And if there's
A lot of it,
You can't
Get anywhere.
Right, ralphie?
Yes.
Well, I think there's
A little too much friction
Between you two.
So if we're ever
Going to get out
Of this book...
We'd better get rid of
The friction between us.
Sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
Well,
I'm even sorrier.
No, I'm sorrier.
No, I'm sorrier.
And I'm sorrier
Than both of you.
Ok, let's try it.
Push!
Come on, you bunch
Of weasely wimps. Push!
It's working!
More letters!
Uhh!
Uhh!
Uhh!
We did it!

Hang on, ralphie.
Remember what
Happened last time
You jumped out of
The bus like that?
Never fear.
There's friction here!
Good old friction.
Hey, there, friction fans,
Welcome to the all-frizzle
Complete-with-friction
Baseball classic.
Yes, siree, it's
A beautiful day here
At frizzle field,
And have we got
A game for you.
The first up is
Our very own dorothy ann.
I tell you, keesha,
If she hits the ball
As hard as she hits the books,
Watch out!
Oh, a tremendous hit
Deep into center!
Holy cow, she exerted
Some kind of force
On that ball.
But can the left fielder
Carlos get to the ball
And apply his
Force to stop it?
No, he can't!
What a sh*t, folks!
But lucky for carlos
The friction
Of the ball
Against the grass
Has slowed it
To a stop.
What would we do
Without friction, folks?
Ya-hoo! Come on,
Children!
And d.a. Finds
A friend in friction
As she slides home.
The big question--
Is she safe or out?
I don't know, keesha.
I can't make out
The plate.
That's funny.
Neither can i.
Where is it?
I think
It's over there.
D.a. Was right!
This book is great!
As I always say, ralphie,
Never judge a book
By its cover.
Ha ha!
Ha ha!
[Beeping]

Hey, liz.
Another day, another--
[Telephone ringing]
Caller? Now,
Who could that be?
Hello.
<Span style="style"> magic school bus</span>
Producer speaking.
Caller: hi.
You know that textbook
The bus and the kids
Were inside?
Oh, wonderful book,
Isn't it?
Yeah. I'd like to know
Where I can get a copy.
So you can visit a world
Without friction?
Right. I already
Checked the library.
Where'd you look?
In the non-friction
Section, of course.
Actually, you can find
Non-friction anywhere.
But here on earth,
I thought friction was
The only game in town.
It is, but you'd
Be surprised
How many ways we can
Give friction the slip.
You mean like
Sliding down a slide?
Exactly. Very little
Friction but
Lots of fun.
Or playing
Shuffleboard?
Oh, wait.
Of course.
Ice skating.
He sh**t, he scores!
Uh-uh, yes. Snow skiing.
And water skiing.
Snow sledding.
Skateboarding.
Oh, and don't forget
Log rolling.
Producer: very
Non-frictional.
So, friction is
All around us,
But sometimes there's
Just less of it.
Producer: exactly.
And sometimes,
A lack of friction
Can surprise you.
Yes, I suppose it could
Surprise you--aah!
[Thud]
[Falling]
Thanks.
Non-friction
Is my favorite.
Uhh. Sometimes
Working on this show
Is stranger than friction.
