00:00I just gotta say, I wanna spend my day with you
00:21You are my best friend, I wanna share the things you do
00:25Ooh baby, you make me smile
00:28Bebop-a-deadle at a oo-oo-wow
00:30I just wanna spend my day with you
00:32Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:02Oh, this room is a mess, Rory.
01:26It's gonna take me all day to get it cleaned up.
01:30Oh, boy.
01:32Oh, Cowboy Bob.
01:37Hey, Gerbert, come on, I have to play!
01:40Come on, Gerbert, we're gonna fly some kites!
01:43Oh, I can't play right now. I have to clean my room.
01:50Gee, Gerbert, can't you do your room later?
01:53I saved up all my allowance and bought this big blue kite.
01:56Yeah, Gerbert, the wind's real good today!
01:59Oh, I wish I could, but I can't.
02:04Gee, Gerbert, that's too bad.
02:06Yeah, maybe we'll see you later at the bull park.
02:09Yeah, have fun.
02:16This will take forever, Rory.
02:19I will never get to fly those kites.
02:23I wish I was a grown-up.
02:26Then I could do whatever I wanted.
02:30Grown-ups get to do everything.
02:33They don't have to go to bed early.
02:36They can even stay up to 10 o'clock if they want to.
02:40And they can go out whenever they want to.
02:43And...
02:45Gee, Rory, that's the life for me.
02:49Of being a dog.
02:51Huh, yeah.
02:56There, Rory.
02:57Now no one will ever think of me as a little boy again.
03:02What do you think?
03:03How do I look?
03:05Guess it'll take some getting used to, huh, Rory?
03:09Uh-huh.
03:10Hey, I know another idea.
03:12Adults have business cards.
03:14Yeah.
03:15So we'll just make some business cards,
03:17and then we'll go out and be adults officially.
03:21Uh-huh.
03:22Uh-huh.
03:26Ice cream, ice cream.
03:29Well, Gerber, it's a little early for Halloween, isn't it?
03:33This is how I'm going to dress from now on.
03:36You got that?
03:37Oh, I almost forgot about them.
03:39They explain everything.
03:41You can have it, Mr. Wigglesworth.
03:43An adult?
03:44Uh-huh.
03:45That's quite an ambition, Gerber.
03:46Please keep it.
03:47I made plenty of those.
03:49Thank you, Gerber.
03:50Sure.
03:51You know, I'm kind of glad that I bumped into you like this,
03:54because, you know, now that I am an adult,
03:57I would like to discuss some business with you.
04:00You know, business to business, adult to adult.
04:03That sounds very interesting.
04:05And, of course, I'll discuss whatever you wish.
04:07Yes.
04:08Well, I have a very important deal for you.
04:12I'm always looking for a good business deal.
04:15Most adults are.
04:17Oh, I see.
04:18Yes.
04:19Well, here is the business deal that I propose.
04:21I would like to purchase from you and your business
04:24four ice cream bars for the price of three.
04:27Well, Gerber, you're a very shrewd businessman.
04:31You'll make a fine adult.
04:33But are you sure you really want to be an adult?
04:37Yes.
04:38I don't want to be a child any more.
04:42As an adult, you'll have a lot of responsibility.
04:45And you'll have to make a lot of decisions, Gerber.
04:48It's not easy to be grown.
04:51It's not easy being a kid either, Mr. Wigglesworth.
04:55Got a point, I suppose.
04:57Well, let me be the first to welcome you to the adult community.
05:01Thank you very much.
05:03Mr. Wigglesworth, I seem to have a problem.
05:07It appears I only have enough money on me for one ice cream bar.
05:12So perhaps we should wait on this business deal until a more opportune time.
05:18That's okay by me, Gerber.
05:20All right.
05:21Goodbye, Gerber.
05:22Goodbye.
05:23I'm sorry.
05:24I'm sorry.
05:38Gerber, you've got your holidays mixed up.
05:40It's not Halloween.
05:42No, not again.
05:45You sure look funny.
05:48Where'd you get that tie?
05:50In that hat.
05:51Who are you trying to be, Gerber?
05:54What are you made up for?
05:56I have just become an adult.
05:59You still have training wheels on your bicycle.
06:02And you don't have any kids or a job.
06:06How can you be an adult?
06:08Mr. Wigglesworth thinks I'm an adult.
06:11And only us adults can really understand each other.
06:16Hello, everybody.
06:17Hello, Mr. Noor.
06:18Hi, Mr. Noor.
06:19Well, hello.
06:21It certainly looks like you're having a good time.
06:24I haven't flown a kite in a long, long time.
06:28Well, come, Miss Lenore.
06:30I thought everybody flew kites.
06:32Oh, well, not everybody.
06:34Sometimes you have to go to work and make a living,
06:37and sometimes there just isn't time to play.
06:39Time to play?
06:41Well, Miss Lenore, you're an adult.
06:44I thought an adult could do whatever they wanted.
06:49Well, Gerber, I guess you can't play with us now that you're an adult, huh?
06:57Yeah, Gerber.
06:58See you later.
07:01Well, Gerber, I'm surprised at you.
07:04I thought you liked flying your kite with your friends more than anything.
07:09I've got more important things to do, Miss Lenore.
07:14I'm an adult now.
07:16Oh, I see.
07:17So, I guess you just don't have time to read these books I've been holding for you.
07:23What?
07:24Oh, no, Rory.
07:25I forgot all about those books.
07:26I've been waiting for them for a long time.
07:27The book about the circus.
07:28Well, um, I guess maybe I should just kind of browse through them since you have them here.
07:44All right, Gerber.
07:45It's your decision.
07:46You're an adult now.
07:48And the clowns were ready to do the show.
07:56And the flying trapeze artist was ready to do the show.
08:00And the lion tamer was ready to do the show.
08:04All the circus performers were ready to do the show.
08:08But they had to get permission from the town mayor.
08:13The only problem was they hadn't elected a town mayor yet.
08:18Hmph.
08:19Wow, Rory.
08:21Being a mayor must be a really important job if the circus can't even open without his permission.
08:30Now there's an adult job I could do.
08:35Here.
08:36Here.
08:37And furthermore, if I'm elected mayor, I vow to let every child stay up until midnight.
08:54And there's lots of pets.
08:55Even ponies.
08:56And there's lots of pets.
08:57Even ponies.
08:58Isn't it this?
08:59No.
09:00More.
09:01Spinach.
09:02Yuck.
09:03And finally, every girl and every boy, if I'm elected mayor, will be able to do whatever
09:19they want to!
09:26Yay!
09:27GoOUR MANAGER!
09:28GOOUR MANAGER!
09:29GOOUR MANAGER!
09:30GOOUR MANAGER!
09:31GOOUR MANAGER!
09:32GOarching!
09:34I'm Kerber for mayor, and if you vote for me!
09:38Everything in town will be all yours for free!
09:43I'm Kerber for Mayor, and if you vote for me!
09:47There'll be TV and movies for everyone to see.
09:54I'm Kerber for mayor, and if you vote for me,
09:58you can be a grown-up any time you want to be.
10:03I'm Kerber for mayor, and if you vote for me,
10:07your room can be messy, you won't have to clean.
10:13Oh, I'm Kerber for mayor, and if you vote for me,
10:18all the kids in Shelton Falls will do just as they please.
10:22I'm Kerber for mayor, and if you vote for me,
10:27everyone will be happy doing what they please.
10:30Everyone will be happy doing what they please.
10:47Have you made the decision on the circus yet, boss?
10:52The circus? My, my, my.
10:55Why, that's the most important event going on in this town.
10:59Oh, you haven't touched your lunch, boss.
11:01All right, thanks. Thank you there, Miss Whitey.
11:04Now, where are all those proclamations?
11:15Proclamations? What are those?
11:18Freedom, Miss Friday. Freedom.
11:20Those are the papers I sign that give kids everything they want.
11:26Excuse me.
11:27Hello.
11:34What's that?
11:37Why, of course I'll sign it. Are you kidding?
11:40Right, thank you. Bye-bye.
11:42Now kids can go to bed as late as they want.
11:47I like that proclamation.
11:50Oh, hold on there.
11:54Hello?
11:57What's that, another proclamation?
11:59What?
12:00Well, of course I'll sign it.
12:02Fine. Okay, bye-bye.
12:04Now kids can eat all the candy they want.
12:09That's great, boss. But what about the soikens?
12:12What about the soikens? Right.
12:13The fair.
12:14They want to know how long they can stay in town.
12:17Well, they can stay in town as long as they want to.
12:22Really mean that, boss?
12:24Of course.
12:29We should have got that intercom system.
12:31Hello?
12:35Yes, yes, the answer is yes.
12:37Let's get them anything they want.
12:40Bye-bye.
12:56You look pretty tired, boss.
12:58Yes, yep.
13:00I stayed up last night real late watching TV and eating sweets.
13:11Well, you know I can do that.
13:13I'm an adult.
13:14Oh!
13:14Yeah, hello.
13:29Oh, hello.
13:32Hello, hello.
13:34Oh, hi, miss.
13:35Hi, miss Jones.
13:38What's that?
13:39The kids are falling asleep and what? Oh, I see. Oh, could you hold on just a minute, please, Ms. Jones?
13:53Hello? Oh, hi, hi, Mr. Kaiser. What's that? You want to know what you can do with all the spinach you ordered?
14:05Could you hold on another minute here, please? Hello? Hello? Oh, hi, Mr. Big Top. You're canceling the circuit, but why?
14:27The kids are too tired to come.
14:31Oh, ma'am, Miss Bridie! Miss Bridie, where are you?
14:45Miss Bridie, what are you doing playing outside at a time like this? You can't do that.
14:52Yes, I can. You're the adult. I'm just a kid. I can do anything I want and play any time I want.
15:09Hello? Hello? What's that? The kids are all getting sick. They bring too much candy.
15:18I don't know the answers. I'm just a kid.
15:28I'm not ready to be down there, Lord. I'm not ready to be in a dog.
15:35I'm going to change out of these clothes and put on my clothes in here.
15:40That's why I'm here.
15:42I'm going to just clean out the rest of this room later.
15:45You know, I'll get it all straight.
15:53Boy, Rory, I sure am glad I'm just a kid.
15:57Well, I'm not ready to be an adult. At least not yet.
16:01Gerbert, did I hear you say that you don't want to be an adult?
16:05Yes, ma'am.
16:06Well, I guess you just might want to read these books after all.
16:10Well, thank you for keeping them, Miss Lenore.
16:14Oh, that's all right, Gerbert. I'm just glad you decided to be yourself again.
16:18Be myself?
16:19A child. It's such a wonderful time of life, and there's so many things you can do.
16:25Well, you can play and ride your bike. You can learn how to read and fly your kite.
16:32And you can have wonderful friends like Will and Cassie and Rory.
16:39Gee, I guess I really am pretty lucky to be me.
16:43Maybe cleaning my room isn't so bad after all.
16:47Sure is better than being town mayor.
16:50Town mayor? I guess so.
16:54Well, Gerbert, you have a good time now, and don't forget to come visit me at the library real soon, okay?
16:59Okay, Miss Lenore.
17:00Bye-bye.
17:01Bye.
17:01Bye-bye.
17:04Hi.
17:05Hi, Gerbert. What are you doing?
17:07Well, I'm just getting ready to fly my kite.
17:10I thought you wanted to be an adult.
17:13But I'm not an adult. I'm a kid, and that's what I want to be.
17:18I want to clean up my room, go to bed early, and I don't want any more candy.
17:25I'm not even ready to be an adult.
17:28I just want to be a kid.
17:31Need some help with your kite, Gerbert.
17:34Hey, thanks. That would really help.
17:38See you later, Elekater.
17:39Well, thank you for spending part of your day with me, Frank.
17:46I always like being with you.
17:48I think you're so neato.
17:50Well, before we go...
17:51I think you're so...
17:56I don't know.
17:57But I'll see you later.
17:59I just want to leave you there.
18:01I don't know.
18:01I don't know.
18:02Maybe, but I also want to leave you there.
18:03I don't know.
18:04I don't know.

25:25So visit your local library and see what I mean.
