06x08 - Time After Time

[bunniefuu]

-I want to say welcome
to today's show.
-Uh--

-I just want to say I'm
glad that you're all here.
-Uh--

-And I want to say we
have a great show today.
-And--

-And let me just say
you're going to enjoy it.
And I--

-Wait a second.

Wait a second, Bobby.

Cant-- can't I say something?

-No.

-Oh.

-And now I'd like to
say, start the show.
[THEME MUSIC]

-Hey, hey, hey, now rain it in.

Not too much, Bobby, in your
bowl, now there then yet, hun.
-OK.

[WHISTLING]

[BELL RINGING]

-Come on, Bobby.

Time for school.

Whoa!

HOWARD: Bobby.

-Whoops, sorry.

TED: Time for noogies.

-Mom, Uncle Ted is here.

-Of course he is, we're eating.

-Hey, I was headed for the
semi-annual socks in a can
sale, but I got about
an hour to k*ll.
-Please don't k*ll me.

TED: Hey, Bobby.

Finished with the cereal?

Oh, you got the
back-to-school jumbo pack.
Great.

-Mom, when does school start?

-That would be Monday.

And you'll be going
to big kid school.
-Big kid school?

-Yeah.

You'll have a great
time in kindergarten.
Oh, [INAUDIBLE].

That reminds me.

You'll need a new lunchbox for
kindergarten because you'll
be in school all
day, don't you know?
-In school all day?

-Hey there, Bob-O. I know
what you're thinking.
-You do?

-Think of starting
all-day school
as the start of a
journey, like-- like--
-"Gullible's Travels?"

-Exactly.

So let's see, once upon a time,
a young [INAUDIBLE] boy named,
uh--

-Bobby.

TED: Bobby was sailing
across the ocean
when a huge wave
washed him overboard.
-Ah.

TED: In the morning,
Bobby Gullible
found himself washed
up on the sandy beach
of an island called Wonderland.

BOBBY: Wonderland?

TED: Yeah, because, uh, it
was full of things of wonder,
like a big, white
talking rabbit.
-I'm late.

I'm late for a very
important date.
BOBBY: Uncle Ted, I don't think
this is how the story goes.
TED: Hang with me,
Bob-O. Because just
then this big kid came along.

-I'm going to take you
to big kid school with me
and show you to all
the other big kids.
-Excuse me, what's this
story supposed to be about?
-Oh, nothing.

I was just trying
to take your mind
off being nervous about
going to the big kid school.
-I wasn't nervous
until your story.
-Oh, that's an oops.

-Bobby.

-Huh?

Oops.

-Dad, can you like,
take us to mall?
-Yeah.

And I need some money.

-Now?

I've got to tee off
in five minutes.
-Better get cover, Roger.

Dad's going to get teed
off in five minutes.
-Dad, it's life or death.

School starts on Monday.

We have got to go to the mall.

-Well, I'm sorry, Kelly.

I don't have time right now.

-[INAUDIBLE].

All right, that's better.

Now, I'll take you kids if
everybody finishes breakfast
and gets ready to go
shopping in an hour.
-Thanks, Mom.

You're a lifesaver.

-Toodles.

-Leave it to moms to keep
dads from getting teed off.
-Did you hear that, dweeb?

Quit goofing around.

You got one hour to get dressed.

-An hour?

OK.

How long is an hour?

-Oh, simple, Bob-O.
It's like watching
two "Captain Squash" episodes.

-Wow, two "Captain
Squash" episodes?
When do they start?

-Bobby, he's not
on for 15 minutes.
-15 minutes?

How long is that?

-Ugh, you are so
hopeless, Bobby.
-Mom, how many days till Monday.

-Well, as I figure
it, today's Saturday.
So that's two days.

Oh, don't worry, hun.

You're going to have a great
time in school, don't you know?
-How can I have a great time
if I don't know what time is?
Hey, Derek.

-What is it, pipsqueak?

I'm in a hurry.

-What's going to
big school like?
-No biggie.

My first day, cool as a breeze.

The time just flew by.

Heck, I didn't even need
anybody to walk me to school.
-Oh, yeah, Mr. Growing
Pinocchio nose.
I guess your memory's not so
good there then yet, is it?
Kelly held your big,
brave brother's hand
all the way to school.

-Mom, how far away is school?

-Oh, just five minutes away.

-But if I don't know how
long five minutes is,
I won't know when to stop.

What if I walk seven minutes?

I might walk to
the wrong school.
And even if I go to
the right school,
what if I'm the only one who
doesn't know how to tell time.
-Oh, Bobby.

Don't you worry,
my little mansy.
Your big brother will
walk you to school
just like his big
sister walked him.
And everything will be just
fine, you wait and see.
Won't it, Derek?

-Sure.

Why not?

-Well, good.

That's settled then.

-Listen, Bobby.

The first day of school,
I don't want to be late.
You better wake up
on time or you'll
have to walk to school
all by yourself.
-Walk to school all by myself?

MAN [ON TV]: Don't go away.

We'll be back in a few moments.

-Back in a few moments!

How long is that?

Jackie, are you ready
for kindergarten?
-Going to big kid school
is a great opportunity
to expand our learning horizons.

-It is?

-That's what Hillary says.

-I'm not so sure I'm ready.

-My mom says they'll be
a special time set aside
to do all sorts of [INAUDIBLE].

-Special time?

Kids in big school know
how to tell special time.
MARTHA: Oh, for dillying
and dallying sake, Bobby.
Where have you been?

-Why do parents always
ask where you've
been when they
know where you are?
-Bobby, you're filthy.

[SPITTING]

Didn't I tell you
we would be leaving
for the mall in an hour?

-Yes.

But I don't know
what an hour is.
-It sounds like a family
matter, I'd better be going.
Nice to see you, Mrs.
Generic, don't you know?
-Yeah, right back at
you I'm sure, Jackie.
Now, Bobby, why can't you stay
nice and clean, like Jackie
here?

-I may not know much
about time, but I
know there isn't enough
of it to explain that one.
TED: Oh, that it easy, sis.

Look, I still got to
get my socks in the can,
so Bobby can come with me
to get his school stuff.
-Well, OK.

Well, here's a list
of what he needs.
-I love those doors, Bob-O.
They're great. hey, I
wonder if I could put
one of those in my condo.
OK, let's see what you need.

Underwear, pencils,
drawing pad, lunchbox.
Anything else you can think
of that's not on the list?
-A wristwatch.

If I'm going to know when
to do stuff at school,
I need a wristwatch.

-You're right, Bob-O. It's
about time you got a watch.
-About time?

About time!

What's the big deal
about time all the time?
CHORUS: Tick, tock,
tick, tock, tick tock
-[SINGING] Time is so important
for all kids, women, and men.
I don't know what it is, but
I know it tells you when.
CHORUS: It tells you when.

I know my A, B, C's, all my
shapes, and how to tie my shoe.
But I don't know what they mean
when they say it's half past 2.
Can you wait a second while
I think of another verse?
Wait, I don't know how
long the second is.
This is getting worse.

CHORUS: Time is so important
for all kids, women, and men.
He doesn't know what it is,
but he knows it tells him when.
-I know it tells me when.

CHORUS: Now.

-Now?

CHORUS: No.

-When?

CHORUS: Now.

-Now?

CHORUS: Yes.

-Oh.

I know that there are seconds,
and minutes, and even hours.
And if you know how to use them,
then you have special powers.
Dogs can't tell time, but
to them it doesn't matter.
Between Elvis and Uncle Ted, I
think Elvis was fatter, which
has nothing to do with the song,
but I figured we had the time.
CHORUS: Time is so important
for all kids, women, and men.
He doesn't know what it is,
but he knows it tells him when.
-There's one thing that I
know about this little song.
I guess you know by now
it's gone on way too long.
Oh.

-So Bobby, is there anything
else you can think of?
OK, we got you a watch.

Next up, a lunchbox.

MAN: Welcome, [INAUDIBLE].

Welcome to the Lunchbox
and Magnet Emporium.
-Where you make gaze upon the
[INAUDIBLE] of the largest
selection of lunchboxes
and refrigerator
magnets ever assembled
under one roof.
Thanks to Mr. Snerd

-No, no, Meeker.

I merely realized a vision.

TED: Hey, Bob-O. Over here.

-Got to have a lunchbox
you're proud of.
-Absolutely.

The importance of a lunchbox
cannot be stressed too much,
particularly construction.

Otherwise, that healthy
liverwurst sandwich,
carrot slices, and piece
of fruit may be bruised.
BOBBY: Uncle Ted, over here.

Captain Squash lunchboxes.

Oh, but which one do I pick?

Wow, a Captain Squash
in the time bandits one.
-You shall not steal
time from this galaxy,
you uncivilized time bandits.

Bobby, help me.

I only have half a minute
left on my power pack
before I have to leave
to recharge my weapon.
Drat, I'm out of spinach seeds.

-Made it, Captain Squash.

There's no stopping
the two of us now.
I'm

-Sorry, Bobby.

I've got to leave.

You were late.

You'll have to battle the
time bandits by yourself.
-Captain Squash, I
can't do it alone.
No!

TED: What's all the
excitement, Bob-O?
OK, easy, Bobby.

If you don't want this one--

-I need one that wakes me
up, so Derek won't leave me
and I'll have to
walk to school alone.
-Oh, gee, I'm afraid
that feature's
not available on any lunchbox.

-Maybe on next
year's models, eh?
-No problem, Bob-O.
I've got exactly
what you need back at my place.

I've got a whole
collection of alarm clocks
from my secondhand closeout
merchandise reselling business.
See something you
like, it's yours.
Take your time, Bob-O. Get it?

Time joke.

Take your time.

-Cuckoo.

Hey, cuckoo.

-Hm.

It's so hard to decide.

-No problemo, Bobby.

Give them all a time trial
and keep the one you like.
Time trial, ha-ha.

I love a good time joke.

-Thanks, Uncle Ted.

-Night, night, Mr. Mansy.

You had a big day.

You and your new clock get
a good night's sleep now.
-OK.

BOBBY: Mom?

-Turtles.

-I can't sleep.

-Oh, sweetheart.

Are the tick-tocks
keeping you awake?
-No, just ticks.

I'm missing the tocks.

Could you give me quieter time?

-Oh, yeah.

I can do that.

-Moo.

Wake up.

Wake up.

You're sleeping your life away.

Moo.

[ALARM RINGING]

-Guess it's time
to get up, Roger.
Oops.

-Bobby, turn that thing off!

-Maybe he's having a
sleepwalking nightmare.
-I need my beauty sleep.

How can you wake me up in
the middle of the night?
BOBBY: It wasn't me.

It was my new alarm clock.

-Why did you set it
for midnight, dweeb?
-Midnight?

When's that?

I just wanted to practice
not being late for school.
So I set my clock by
the one in the den.
That one, the blinking one.

-Dweeb, that clock
always blinks 12:00.
-Oops.

Am I in trouble?

-You're in trouble.

Your stupid alarm went off
in the middle of the night.
-Back off, Derek.

Bobby doesn't know
how to tell time.
-Well, I think we
should teach him how.
-Oh, OK, Mr. I can't
set the VCR clock man.
-Hey, that-- that
is different, honey.
No once can set a VCR clock.

You have to be a-
a rocket scientist.
-Voila.

-Oh, OK.

Return to your beds.

There's nothing else to
see here for corn sake.
-This whole day just dragged by.

I can't believe how tired I am.

-Oh, yeah.

Ditto.

-I'm sorry.

-Oh now, honey.

It's not entirely your fault.

If you don't know
how to tell time,
we can't expect you to
set the alarm clock.
-Mom, does everybody in big
school know how to tell time?
-Don't go getting yourself
all worked up, son.
Learning how to tell
time is really simple.
See, every clock has a big
hand and a little hand.
-That's a hand?

Good thing I don't
have hands like that.
ANNOUNCER: And now the
defending ice sculpture
champion, Bobby Clockhands.

Bobby, you have five
minutes to complete
your ice sculptor starting now.

AUDIENCE: Bobby, Bobby,
Bobby, Bobby, Bobby.
-Pay attention to your father.

He's trying to teach you how
to tell time, don't you know?
And you won't learn anything
playing with your ice cream
there then yet.

-Bobby, look.

If you want to know what time
it is, just do what I do.
Call the time lady.

-You can call for time?

-Hey, it's not like they deliver
time to your door, bird brain.
-Sometimes, Derek scares me.

It's like he can read my mind.

-Don't worry about hands
and all that stuff.
Go digital.

Just read what it says.

-Uh-huh.

But-- but I can't read.

-Hey, sis.

Oh, not interrupting, am I?

-No.

But if you're here for
dinner, you're late.
-No, I just wanted to see if
that alarm clock worked out.
-Don't ask.

-That's why they're trying
to teach me to tell time.
-Learning to tell time?

It's easy.

See, each of the numbers
means, uh, two or three things.
Like the 2.

Now, the 2 is a 2, you know?

But if it's in hours, it's a 10.

But if it's in minutes
or-- then if it's
in seconds-- uh, you
got it, right, Bob-O?
It's easy.

-No.

-Oh, Bobby.

Why don't you give it a rest
for now and go to bed, hun?
You've got a big day tomorrow.

I'll come tuck you in.

Bobby, what in-- what
is all this hooha?
-I'm not going to go
to sleep tonight, Mom.
I'm going to stay up
all night playing games.
That way, I'll be
sure to be up in time
to go to school with Derek.

-Oh, that's so cute.

Now don't you worry, I
promise to personally
wake you up in plenty of time.

-Thanks, Mom.

-You don't want to miss your
first day of kindergarten,
do you?

-Nope.

-Goodnight, sweetheart.

MAN: Keep the lights tight.

MAN: Tie him down.

Use a [INAUDIBLE] if necessary.

-He's waking up.

-Let me up.

MAN: Don't try to
move, Bobby Gullible.
-But I have to get up.

I can't be late for school.

-I'm falling.

-And I can't get up.

MARTHA: Bobby, what the heck
[INAUDIBLE] going on there now?
You don't want to
oversleep now, honey.
Rise and shine.

It's a new day.

And it's time to get dressed for
your first day of kindergarten.
Bobby, you're dressed.

-I wanted to make
sure I wasn't late,
so I dressed after
you tucked me in.
-Come on, squirt.

Is that the fastest
you can walk?
I'm leaving you behind
if you can't keep up.
-I can't help if I'm
not a good walker.
-Oh, yeah?

You know what
happens in big school
to kids who aren't good walkers?

-No, what?

-They have to go to walking
class instead of recess.
I'm kidding you.

-Guess that's what I'm here for.

-Quit being so
uptight about school.
Look, let me tell you something.

Everyone is nervous
the first day.
Even the big kids.

-Really?

Even the big, big kids?

-Yeah, even us.

But everyone gets over it
after they meet their teacher.
-Really?

Thanks, Derek.

You're a pretty
nice big brother.
-And I could be a lot
nicer if you'd walk faster.
-OK.

OK.

-Well, Bobby, there it is.

Big school.

As my mom would say,
this is the first day
of the rest of our
educational lives.
-Guess so.

You don't think
we're late, do you?
-How should I know, Bobby?

I don't know how to tell time.

-You don't?

I thought I was the only one.

Well, as my mom would say, I
guess it's high time to look
the music right in the
eye, don't you know?
-Class, I'd like to welcome
all of you to our school.
I'm Principal Walker, and
I'd like to introduce you
to your new kindergarten
teacher, Ms. Wells.
Let's all give her a big hand.

[APPLAUSE]

-I'm not breaking one of my
clocks to give her a big hand.
-Good morning, class.

-[IN UNISON] Good
morning, Ms. Wells.
-We're going to have
a lot of fun together,
learning a lot of new things.

And the first thing we're going
to learn is how to tell time.
-I think I'm going to
like big kid school.
-Well, that's our show.

Hey, Bobby, you know
what time it is?
-Time to buy a new watch?

-I get it.

Anyway, you tune in
tomorrow at the same time
on the same channel to
watch "Bobby's World."
-I know what time
that is, Howie.
You know where the big hand is?

-No, Bobby.

Where is the big hand?

-On your big wrist.

Bye.
