[00:00:00]Ride on the magic school bus.

[00:00:11]This is really embarrassing, Wanda.

[00:00:13]>> It's okay, Arnold. You're with me.

[00:00:16]What if somebody catches us in here?

[00:00:18]Who's going to catch you in the girls' bathroom? Tiffany. Tiffany?

[00:00:24]Who's Tiffany? I don't know any Tiffany.

[00:00:26]Yeah, right. Whatever you say, Arnold. I say we don't need this water. My model of the waterworks shows exactly how water is collected and stored and [music] cleaned and delivered and >> Yawn-burger with a side of snores. As your partner, I cannot do a report on water without water. That's enough. I'll take the bucket to class. You clean up.

[00:00:48]Okay.

[00:00:52]Oh, and don't forget Ms. Frizzle's keys.

[00:00:55]Hi, Tiffany. Hi, Wanda.

[00:00:57]Hi, Arnold.

[00:01:00]Arnold?

[00:01:03]Tiffany?

[00:01:05]>> [screaming] >> Tiffany, wait. I can explain.

[00:01:10]Maybe I should have stayed home today.

[00:01:12]>> Come on, Arnold. It's time for your report. Yikes. I knew I should have stayed home today.

[00:01:23]Careful, Wanda. You'll drown my waterworks. Arnold, a properly constructed waterworks cannot drown.

[00:01:32]What's that noise?

[00:01:42]Good morning, class. Good morning, Ms. Frizzle. Oh, everyone ready to find out where water goes and what it does? Ready when you are, Ms. Frizzle. Actually, I'd rather hit the surf ride at Waterland.

[00:01:57]Oh, of course. The perfect introduction to our investigation of water.

[00:02:06]Are you suggesting that we really go there? I don't see why not. Yeah.

[00:02:12]>> Oh boy, what a great idea.

[00:02:15]Wait, going to Waterland has nothing to do with the serious study of water. Sure it does, Arnold. We could think about a mighty river as we're riding the flow.

[00:02:25]>> Wandering, this brochure shows the new storm cloud simulator they just built.

[00:02:29]And we could appreciate rainfall on the raindrop parachute ride. But what about our report? It's all about how we use water works to get clean water where we need it, when we need it. See? Oh, it really is quite wonderful, Arnold. But compared to Waterland, it's dry, dry, dry. Water's no fun unless you're in it.

[00:02:50]Oh, water. What goes around comes around. A veritable merry-go-round of moisture. TO THE BUS. YAY!

[00:03:06]WATERLAND! YAY!

[00:03:07]>> [screaming] [cheering] >> WOW, LOOK AT THE RAIN GAUGE. It really rained a lot. Yeah, more than 2 in in the last hour. According to my research, that's a school record for rainfall.

[00:03:21]Come on, you guys. We're going to study some serious water.

[00:03:27]Uh Wanda, do you have the keys you borrowed from me? Um Oh, um never mind. I have a spare key somewhere in here, I think.

[00:03:36]Here it is.

[00:03:40]And here we go!

[00:03:43]Wait a minute. I have a hunch this is not the WAY TO WATERLAND.

[00:03:50]THIS IS A FIELD TRIP!

[00:04:00]WHAT HAPPENED? Welcome to the real water land. Where everything is water, even us.

[00:04:08]I hate getting wet. As I [music] always say, Arnold, a little water never hurt anyone.

[00:04:17]Woah! This is awesome. Hope we're not going to stay in this rain gauge [music] all day. That would be boring. And we wouldn't want that.

[00:04:27]Is it just me, or is it getting really warm? Um, Ms. Frizzle, what happens when water gets warm? Do I really want to know?

[00:04:37]Gosh, I'm rising into the air.

[00:04:44]Woah! See you. Ralphie, is it just you, or are we all floating into the air?

[00:04:51]When water is warmed by the sun, it evaporates.

[00:04:57]You mean we're evaporating? Help!

[00:05:11]>> [music] >> At least being water meant we stayed on the ground. I want to be water again. We still are water, Arnold. When water evaporates, it turns into water vapor.

[00:05:49]It's a gas, Arnold. We've been vaporized. I get it. First, we were a liquid, then we became a gas. I still don't like it.

[00:06:02]It's getting cold up here.

[00:06:05]Hey, I'm un-vaporizing.

[00:06:07]Look at my hands.

[00:06:09]I'm turning into tiny droplets. That's because we're changing back into a liquid. We are condensing. Water is as water does.

[00:06:20]Ms. Frizzle, you turned into a cloud.

[00:06:24]Oh, isn't this heavenly? Wow, I never knew a cloud was water, too. Hey, we're moving. This is fantastic.

[00:06:36]Duck.

[00:06:41]It's not easy being a cloud.

[00:06:44]Now, where are we going?

[00:06:47]Wherever we're going, it looks to me like it's not our choice. As someone once said, clouds are the playful fancies [music] of the mighty wind. Does that mean that clouds go wherever the wind takes them? In a word, Keesha, yes.

[00:07:04]Oh, bad. Oh, bad.

[00:07:06]Bad, bad, bad. Then we could end up anywhere. Right as rain, Arnold. Water goes everywhere.

[00:07:15]Oh, no.

[00:07:17]>> [screaming] [music] [music] >> I always wondered what it would be like to be a cloud. I love it.

[00:07:39]Hey, watch it. Lighten up, Arnold.

[00:07:42]You're a cloud. Now we're one big cloud.

[00:07:46]But clouds don't go to school. Clouds don't give reports. They stay in the air. We'll never get down.

[00:07:54]>> [crying] >> Oh, no.

[00:07:58]Arnold.

[00:08:01]We fell out of the cloud. Water always falls out of the clouds, eventually.

[00:08:07]It's raining. We are the rain, Phoebe.

[00:08:11]This is even better than the rain jump PARACHUTE RIDE. WOOHOO.

[00:08:17]>> [music] >> HOPE YOU DON'T MIND OUR dropping by.

[00:08:23]Hey, a frizzle drizzle.

[00:08:35]Go with the flow, class. Wait for us, Miss Frizzle.

[00:08:42]We're out of control.

[00:08:43]Don't worry, Arnold.

[00:08:45]Wanda, we're thousands of miles from school, running into some strange force.

[00:08:49]We're almost on the ground, and that will stop.

[00:08:55]>> [screaming] >> Or not. Is it true that water always runs downhill? Yes.

[00:09:01]>> Yes. Oh, no.

[00:09:04]Water works. Water runs. Water falls.

[00:09:10]Watch out, Arnold.

[00:09:11]>> [screaming] >> Where's all this water going in such a hurry? Water always flows to the lowest spot, Phoebe, and we're almost there.

[00:09:28]The ocean.

[00:10:06]>> Well, that was an interesting field trip. Can we go back now, Ms. Frizzle?

[00:10:14]Oh, I'd like to help you out, Arnold, but Oh, no.

[00:10:19]We're evaporating again. I love this part.

[00:10:25]>> [music] >> Who knows what happens next? Hands. Oh, we condense into water droplets. But, we've been there, done that.

[00:10:35]And it won't be the last time, Arnold.

[00:10:38]What happens next? We become clouds.

[00:10:41]Then we get blown who knows where by the wind.

[00:10:45]Oh, and next?

[00:10:48]And fall somewhere else as rain again.

[00:10:51]Excellent observation, Wanda. Are you suggesting that water never ever stops moving?

[00:10:59]Ever?

[00:11:00]In the words of my great aunt Matilda, no.

[00:11:05]Here we go again.

[00:11:08]You mean water keeps evaporating, condensing, raining, collecting forever? Oh, bingo. That's why its movement is called the water cycle. But, water has to go somewhere. Oh, it does.

[00:11:23]It goes around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around.

[00:11:31]We could stay stuck in the water cycle forever.

[00:11:37]Wait a minute. This is a field trip, right? I mean, we've got to get back by 3:00, don't we?

[00:11:47]Oh no, it's already 3:00. I'm going to miss batting practice. And I've got a dance lesson. Not to worry, mates. It's only 3:00 in London. London?

[00:12:10]>> [screaming and cheering] >> How do we get out of here? I've got it, Ms. Frizzle. Since you're the one who turned us into water, just turn us back into regular kids. Uh, unfortunately, Keesha, I can't do that because the key I used to turn us all into water is also water.

[00:12:27]Well, don't you have another key? Would you care to take that one, Wanda?

[00:12:32]Well, I um I borrowed Ms. Frizzle's keys when Arnold and I um went into the uh girls' bathroom. Um Arnold? I uh I Oh, I left the key in the bathroom.

[00:12:47]Arnold!

[00:12:49]But that's not all. I also forgot to empty the sink and I think I forgot to turn the water off all the way.

[00:12:56]Oh no, what if the whole school is flooded?

[00:12:59]Arnold, how could you? Well, if if we just done our reports in the first place, none of this would have happened.

[00:13:07]>> Look out! Taxi cab at 3:00!

[00:13:11]>> [screaming] >> WHAT DO WE DO NOW? Remember the water cycle. What comes after raindrops?

[00:13:20]Evaporation!

[00:13:27]Woah, that was close.

[00:13:30]I knew [music] I should have stayed home today.

[00:13:34]It's cloud time again, you guys.

[00:13:38]Seems to me the only way out of the water cycle is to stop being water.

[00:13:43]An absorbing solution, Keisha. I've got it. Clouds are water [music] and can go everywhere, right? Wherever the wind blows, Wanda. So, what if we could blow our clouds wherever we want to go? I think that could be arranged.

[00:14:03]Awesome! The bus can blow us back to school. Then we can rain down, find [music] the spare key, and stop being water. And I can turn off the faucet [music] and save the school.

[00:14:15]HERE WE GO.

[00:14:25]>> [music] [music] >> IT'S OUR SCHOOL!

[00:14:50]AND IT'S NOT FLOODED! I'll get the key!

[00:14:55]>> [screaming] >> Almost there.

[00:15:14]LIZ!

[00:15:15]WHERE'S THE KEY?

[00:15:22]LIZ!

[00:15:22]>> [screaming] >> Here we are, Wanda.

[00:15:35]Did you see the key? That's not all I saw. The bathroom's flooding and Liz is stuck in the faucet. Maybe she was trying to escape. We've got to get inside. But how?

[00:15:47]We're only water.

[00:15:49]I know. The water works. AND THE WATER WORKS? The real water works. The one my model is modeled after. It gets water to where we need it. And we are water and we are needed in the girls' bathroom.

[00:16:04]And I know how to get us there. Arnold, you're a genius.

[00:16:08]I am?

[00:16:11]>> [music] >> Tour of the water works.

[00:16:18]The reservoir.

[00:16:20]That's where the water is stored and that's where the water works start.

[00:16:25]Class, prepare to rain.

[00:16:32]There's no turning back now.

[00:16:35]Where's the reservoir?

[00:16:40]At last, I get to give my report.

[00:16:42]According to Arnold's research, a reservoir is where the water we drink is collected.

[00:16:48]Um Arnold, if this is the water we drink, it's pretty disgusting. Yeah, it's full of dirt. Yuck. I can't believe we drink this stuff. Follow me to the mixing basin. Step one in cleaning our water.

[00:17:09]Things are sure getting mixed up in here, but it doesn't look any cleaner.

[00:17:13]Yeah, Arnold. What is this white stuff?

[00:17:15]More junk? Actually, it's alum. And if you look closely, Carlos, you'll note that the dirt is actually sticking to it and thereby cleaning the water.

[00:17:26]>> [laughter] >> It tickles.

[00:17:28]Yeah, but now the water is full of alum blobs. How do we get rid of this stuff?

[00:17:35]This way to the settling basin.

[00:17:41]Look, the dirty alum is settling to the bottom.

[00:17:47]And up here, the water's clear.

[00:17:51]Are we clean yet? Almost. We need to get filtered.

[00:17:55]On to the filtration tank, class.

[00:18:03]We will now filter through the sand and gravel which you see below you to get rid of any tiny particles which may have slipped through the cleansing process [music] so we can get really, really clean. Let's go.

[00:18:16]Whee!

[00:18:21]Woohoo!

[00:18:24]Help!

[00:18:28]Gee, thanks, Ms. Frizzle. Oh, anytime, Arnold. Don't let this dampen your enthusiasm.

[00:18:36]Hey, Arnold. Now that we're clean, how much further to the girls' bathroom? Um, this pipe should lead to the school.

[00:18:44]Come on, you guys.

[00:18:47]Whoa!

[00:19:12]Okay.

[00:19:17]>> [music] >> Are we there yet?

[00:19:23]Almost.

[00:19:27]Look, the sea monster.

[00:19:32]Wait.

[00:19:33]That tail looks familiar.

[00:19:35]Why, IT'S IT'S LIZ!

[00:19:39]LIZ!

[00:19:40]IT'S US.

[00:19:42]WE'RE INSIDE THE FAUCET.

[00:19:44]You can pull your tail out now.

[00:19:51]It must be stuck. I hate to do this, Liz, but it has to be done.

[00:19:59]Hey, Tiffany!

[00:20:03]>> [music] >> Your bathroom is roomier than ours.

[00:20:22]>> [music] >> Liz, quick! Get the key ring before we evaporate again.

[00:20:35]Yay!

[00:20:35]>> [screaming] >> Only one problem. There's not enough room in here to transform the bus.

[00:20:45]Tiffany!

[00:20:58]>> [music] >> Tiffany!

[00:21:08]Are you okay?

[00:21:10]I think so. What happened?

[00:21:13]Well, I guess you could [music] say our field trip made a real splash.

[00:21:21]Well, as I always say, to appreciate the water cycle, you've got to have a good SENSE OF HUMID.

[00:21:42]IS THIS THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS? IS THIS the Magic School Bus?

[00:22:06]Magic School Bus, the producer speaking.

[00:22:09]Glad you're still there. I have some questions about the show I just saw on water. Look, I'm really kind of busy now. Can you call back tomorrow? This won't take long. I just want to know who you think you're kidding. Kids can't turn into water. We know that. We just wanted the kids to behave like water, not be water. And kids can't evaporate either. And they can't become clouds or condense into raindrops. Listen, we weren't trying to fool anybody.

[00:22:35]Everything the kids in the show did, water can do and does. Thanks for your question.

[00:22:42]Is this you again? No, this is another kid. I have a question about the water cycle. Water collects, evaporates, condenses and rains. I know, I know, but you made it seem like it happens in a few minutes. Sometimes the water cycle can take weeks or years.

[00:22:59]You're right. And water frozen into a glacier can as many as 10,000 years before [music] it melts again.

[00:23:06]Which reminds me, my mother keeps telling me to conserve water, but 2/3 of the earth's surface is water, so how can we ever run out? We won't. While there's plenty of water in [music] the world, it's not always where we want it, when we want it. In fact, only a tiny part of the earth's water is drinkable. Really?

[00:23:24]That's right. So, we have to watch how we use it and be careful not to waste it. So, how come nobody said anything to Arnold for forgetting to turn off the water? Hey, haven't you ever forgotten to turn [music] off the water? Sure, but that doesn't make it okay. I I I I agree, and I promise you Arnold will never do it again. I heard that one leaky faucet can waste several gallons of water a day. That's true.

[00:23:51]By the way, you never explained how a cloud snows. Well, you'll just have to watch our show on weather to find out the answer to that. Thanks for calling.

[00:24:00]Come on, Liz. Let's go home.

[00:24:03]It's been a long day.

[00:24:18]Good morning and welcome to the weekend edition of In Your Face, the only TV show that asks the question, "What's really going on here?" I'm your host, Jerry Paverty. This just in, the monster of Walker Lake has just surfaced again.

[00:24:36]Mom, Harry, look! The monster's back.

[00:24:38]Uh-huh. This I've got to see. Here is an exclusive photo of the monster as it reappeared this morning at the crack of dawn. Wow, unreal! I couldn't agree with you more, Wanda. Jerry Paverty would do anything for a story, even if it means making it up.

[00:24:59]But Mom, what if the monster is real?

[00:25:08]What if I, Wanda Lee, am the first person to make contact with the monster of Walker Lake?

[00:25:18]Oh, no.

[00:25:19]My whole class beat me to it. How come the monster never came up before now?

[00:25:24]Maybe it came up because it was hungry.

[00:25:27]Maybe so, Phoebe, but if I were a monster, it would take a lot more than a banana to get me back to the surface.

[00:25:33]Okay, but if it is hungry, we have to feed it. If it won't come up for the banana, I'll send the banana down to it.

[00:25:43]Oh, no. A banana floats. That's okay. I like banana splits better. Carlos!

[00:25:50]Well, if I can't get the monster to come up here, I'll send my camera down there.

[00:25:56]Hey, my monster cam floats, too.

[00:25:59]Who would have guessed? If we want to see that monster, we'd better find out a way to turn these floaters into sinkers.

[00:26:07]Maybe we should use my mother's calzone instead of a banana. They go down like a rock.

[00:26:13]Did you see it yet? Did you touch it?

[00:26:16]What took you so long? We thought you'd be the first one here.

[00:26:21]Yeah, well, I'm going to be the first one down there. I'm going to the bottom of the lake to find the monster.

[00:26:27]I don't know, Wanda. What would Ms. Frizzle say? It's the weekend, Phoebe.

[00:26:32]No school, no Ms. Frizzle.

[00:26:35]Look! Look! Look! It's coming towards us!

[00:26:41]THE MONSTER!

[00:26:42]>> [screaming] >> OH, GOOD MORNING, CLASS. MS. FRIZZLE!

[00:26:49]Nothing like a dip in the deep. Are you looking for the monster, too, Ms. Frizzle? Well, if you don't look, you'll never see. And what you don't see can be very hard to find.

[00:27:00]Huh?

[00:27:01]Hmm, you look like you have that sinking feeling, Wanda.

[00:27:04]Want to float something past me? Jerry Pavairey showed a picture of the monster on TV. It has to be true. Pictures can be faked, you know. To prove it's really, really you need evidence. And there isn't any. And what do you do when there isn't any evidence? Go home? No, you look for it. I'm going after the monster myself.

[00:27:28]THIS IS A WARNING. MONSTER ALERT. Stay out of the water. I repeat, stay out of the water. Hey, it's Jerry Pavairey.

[00:27:38]For updates on the monster of Walker Lake, watch the next edition of In Your Face. You heard me, folks. Stay out of the water. [screaming] Return to the safety of your homes.

[00:27:51]Wait a second. She doesn't own this lake. We can look for the monster if we want to.

[00:27:56]Can't we, Ms. Frizzle? Not only that, we can take chances, make mistakes, get wet. Is it just me, or does this sound like a field trip? I PROPOSE AN UNDERWATER EXPEDITION TO LEARN the whole truth and nothing but the truth about this monster.

[00:28:14]>> A splashing idea, Wanda.

[00:28:21]Hit list.

[00:28:33]All right.

[00:28:35]Cool. An underwater field trip.

[00:28:42]Ready to dive, Ms. Frizzle? Ready, but unable, Wanda. But, the sinker linker's rusted. Somebody forgot to swab the deck and dry the sinker linker the last time we went under.

[00:28:55]Without it, we can't sink. At least not automatically. But, we've got to get down there. This is our chance to make history. Be history, you mean. Oh, as my Uncle Wilbur used to say, "Oh, you can lead a bus to water, but you can't make it sink." Yes, we can, Ms. Frizzle.

[00:29:14]There's got to be a way.

[00:29:18]Let's see. The banana floats and the rock sinks.

[00:29:23]They're the same size, but the banana is light and the rock is heavy.

[00:29:29]If something is heavy enough, it sinks.

[00:29:32]What would a banana rock do?

[00:29:38]Good one, Phoebe. The extra weight of the rock is making the banana sink.

[00:29:43]You're monster. Lunchtime. That's it.

[00:29:47]The monster. Where? What's it look like?

[00:29:50]No, not the monster. Extra weight.

[00:29:54]That's how we're going to get to the bottom of this.

[00:30:01]Uh, how many more of these do we have to fill? Enough to sink the bus. Hey, Wanda. We've almost got enough extra weight. Uh, this one should do it.

[00:30:18]Look out.

[00:30:19]HERE WE COME.

[00:30:27]HURRY. COME ON, LIZ.

[00:30:31]ALL ABOARD FOR THE LAST bus going down.

[00:30:38]Dive. Dive.

[00:30:43]Sinking.

[00:30:45]sinking, sunk.

[00:30:48]Something about this field trip seems fishy to me.

[00:30:53]Carlos.

[00:30:54]You were right, Phoebe. Nothing like adding a little extra weight to make something sink. You think underwater monsters like peanut butter [music] and jelly? I don't know, but if you feed it, I'll film it.

[00:31:07]Are we going to keep sinking until we hit bottom? Sinking only ends when you hit bottom, Arnold. Hard left.

[00:31:18]Hmm, looks like I've got some competition.

[00:31:25]Well, not for long.

[00:31:40]What is that?

[00:31:42]We're losing our weights.

[00:31:45]Oh, no. We're rising to the surface.

[00:31:48]Right you are, Phoebe. Can you feel the water pushing us up, up, up, up? Oh, isn't floating to the surface exciting?

[00:31:56]No. Sinking is exciting. I don't want to float.

[00:32:01]Hmm, no one's going to ruin my story.

[00:32:04]Especially a bunch of nosy kids.

[00:32:07]>> [screaming] >> Oh, boy. We're floating again.

[00:32:25]Oh, isn't it delightful? Water can be such pushy stuff.

[00:32:31]Push water out of the way, and it pushes back.

[00:32:36]It's the water's push that's making us float. But we've got to find that monster, Ms. Frizzle. We're sunk if we can't sink. As my Uncle Vern always said, OH, THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO SINK A FLOATER.

[00:32:50]COMING, LIZ?

[00:32:58]WHAT ARE WE going to do? What are we going to do?

[00:33:00]>> Maybe if I put enough heavy rocks in here and seal it up tight, my monster camel sink. Say cheese down there.

[00:33:12]It works. Now, how am I going to feed the monster? [music] Send him your sandwich, USS. USS?

[00:33:19]United Sinking Service.

[00:33:23]Uh, just pitch it out there.

[00:33:29]Hey, my bread's not sinking. It's floating. Check it out. Phoebe, there's your bread.

[00:33:38]Now I'll never get to feed the monster.

[00:33:40]Oh, the poor thing will starve.

[00:33:44]Oh, well.

[00:33:49]Hey Phoebe, don't look now, BUT YOUR BREAD BALL JUST SANK. I DON'T get it. If they both weigh the same, why does a bread slice float and a bread ball sink?

[00:33:59]Did someone say sink? Over here, Wanda.

[00:34:02]Instant replay.

[00:34:05]There, see it?

[00:34:06]>> [screaming] >> Your bread ball is sinking.

[00:34:08]So, what's the difference between a bread slice and a bread [music] ball?

[00:34:13]Okay, I give up. What's the difference between a bread slice and a bread ball?

[00:34:18]It's not a joke, Ralphie. The only difference I can see is that the ball is a lot smaller than the slice. Ooh, a big point, Keesha. They weigh the same, but the big one floats and the small one sinks. Does that mean you can take something that floats and crumple it down smaller and it'll sink? Now you're thinking, Wanda. Make it small enough and even a cork will sink. I get it. If we crumple the bus small enough, it'll sink, right? Now you're thinking sinking. Class, prepare to crumple.

[00:34:57]All right. Let's crumple this floater to a sinker. It'll be a tight squeeze, but not to worry, we're all friends. Liz, activate the crumple zones.

[00:35:13]But I still don't get it. We weigh the same, so how does being smaller make us sink?

[00:35:20]Maybe it's because the more we crumple in, the less water we shove out of the way.

[00:35:28]Now I get it. The less water we shove out of the way, the less the water pushes back on us. YES, and down we go.

[00:35:40]A sinking we will go, a sinking we will go, down to the bottom, oh a sinking we will go.

[00:35:49]Don't these children ever give up?

[00:35:55]Cut it out, Phoebe. There's crumpled enough in here without you squirming around like an eel. I'm just getting ready to feed the monster when we find it. When I find it, you mean.

[00:36:06]We bottomed out, Ms. Frizzle. We're as low as we CAN GO.

[00:36:12]WANDA! [screaming] WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

[00:36:16]Wait a sec. We're going up.

[00:36:20]What happened? Why didn't we stay sunk?

[00:36:23]We were okay until Wanda left. Of course. When Wanda left, it made us lighter. Wanda, come back.

[00:36:42]>> [screaming] >> Look, the monster's got Wanda. We have to get back down there. How? The water's shoving us up again. I've got it. Let's get smaller.

[00:36:57]Oh, I'm afraid we can't do that, Ralphie. The crumple control's jammed.

[00:37:01]We need something heavy to weigh us down.

[00:37:04]But what? I know.

[00:37:12]What's he doing?

[00:37:14]He's letting water into the pontoons.

[00:37:17]The pontoons are filling up with water.

[00:37:21]Now one side's heavier than the other.

[00:37:24]I see what he's doing. Water's heavy, right? More water, more weight. And down we go. Good one, Carlos.

[00:37:35]Hang in there, Wanda. We're coming down.

[00:37:43]If that girl finds my monster, why I'm sunk.

[00:38:02]Let go of me. Get away.

[00:38:08]Oh, I'll break you. You asked for it.

[00:38:14]What? It snows just floated away.

[00:38:20]MY MOTHER WAS RIGHT.

[00:38:22]OH, there is no monster. It's all just pretend.

[00:38:26]And I get to reveal it all on In Your Face. You mean you did this? Well, I had no choice, did I? I mean, when your ratings are sinking like mine are, you need a buffo socko exposé to make them rise up again. But this is dishonest.

[00:38:43]No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I I prefer to use the phrase creative journalism.

[00:38:48]Call it what you want. You won't get away with it. Nobody's going to believe you. Well, you're just a little kid.

[00:38:55]We'll see about that.

[00:38:58]If nothing else, she's a feisty little kid.

[00:39:04]Where's Wanda? And where's the monster?

[00:39:07]What if the monster ate her? But I wanted to feed it.

[00:39:11]>> Phoebe! Just kidding.

[00:39:14]Wanda!

[00:39:19]Here she comes.

[00:39:22]Are you okay? Did you find the evidence you were looking for, Wanda? What happened to the monster?

[00:39:30]The monster is a fake. What? The real monster is J. Peverly. She set the whole thing up just to get people to watch her show. We have to get back to the surface and stop her. The truth must be told.

[00:39:44]The truth is the pontoons are completely filled with water. Which means we're sunk for good. Hold it. We know how to sink a floater, right? So, there must be a way to float a sinker. Easy. Remember how we got lighter when Wanda left?

[00:40:01]>> Oh, no. Do I have to go out there again?

[00:40:04]Push on, Arnold. I think you're wading into something. Well, I was thinking that if the water in the pontoons weighs us down, what if we push the water out with something lighter? And what is a lot lighter than water? Air!

[00:40:26]All holes are in place. Do you think this is going to work, Ms. Frizzle? Only one way to find out. Pumpers, start your pumps.

[00:40:40]It's working. The air is pushing the water out. We're getting lighter. We've got lift off.

[00:40:47]Oh, now that we're lighter, the force of the water pushing up is greater than our weight pushing down. And that means we can stop Gerry Pevary from floating a lie to the unsuspecting public just to boost her ratings. Ha ha ha [laughter] ha ha ha, think again, little girl.

[00:41:15]Hey, what happened? We stopped going up.

[00:41:18]Oh, no. We're going down again. The corks are gone and the air is escaping.

[00:41:24]As my old Uncle Winchill used to say, "Air today, gone tomorrow." Look, it's Gerry Pevary.

[00:41:34]What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?

[00:41:42]The inflatable genius of Gerry Pevary is about to rise to the surface.

[00:41:56]It's showtime.

[00:42:00]This is Gerry Pevary reporting live from Walker Lake.

[00:42:07]>> [screaming] >> It's no use. What's sunk is sunk. Look, it's Jericho Barry's big monster. It's rising to the surface.

[00:42:18]There must be something we can do. We have to get lighter. Wait a second. What about getting bigger? Remember my bread slice? Crumpled and small, it sank. But when it was big, it floated. So, if we uncrumple the bus, we'll get bigger, push more water out of the way, and float to the surface.

[00:42:39]Good idea, D.A. Ms. Frizzle, maybe you can uncrumple from the inside. You got it, Wanda. Come on, Liz. Use those uncrumpling muscles.

[00:43:02]>> [screaming] >> It's working. The bigger the bus gets, the more the water is pushing on it. No kidding. We're turning the sinker into a super floater. Bring the monster cam, Tim. I've got an idea.

[00:43:19]We'll be right back.

[00:43:21]Going up.

[00:43:25]UNDERNEATH A DECEPTIVELY CALM SURFACE, the residents of Walkerville are gripped with fear. But the recent sightings of the so-called monster have caused this reporter to be more than a little skeptical. HEY, HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?

[00:43:45]OH, NO, my camera.

[00:43:50]Oh, no, my chopper.

[00:43:54]Oh, my story.

[00:43:58]Our story, you mean.

[00:44:01]Ready, Tim? Ready.

[00:44:11]>> So, that's all that remains of the monster of Walker Lake.

[00:44:16]I know we ruined your story, but the truth had to be told.

[00:44:20]>> Well, I I have to hand it to you. You're certainly a brave bunch of kids, and your camera work is excellent, Tim.

[00:44:28]Thanks, Jerry. Hi, Mom. We may have been brave, but you were wrong to perpetrate this hoax. You owe your public an apology.

[00:44:36]>> Yes. Yes. Right you are, Wanda.

[00:44:40]>> [clears throat] >> To these kids here, and to all my viewers out there, I'M SO SORRY.

[00:44:46]>> [cheering] >> SO, LET'S LOOK ONCE AGAIN AT THE shot which got you a spot on this show, and me an offer to star in a new underwater action-adventure series. How did you do it?

[00:45:01]We knew the monster was big enough and light enough to float, so all we had to do was let it loose.

[00:45:08]And you know the rest.

[00:45:10]Your very old monster ended up IN YOUR FACE.

[00:45:16]>> [laughter] [crying] >> YES, WELL, DID DIDN'T IT?

[00:45:25]WELL, [gasps] you must be very proud of your class, Ms. Frizzle. Well, Jerry, as you yourself once said, the truth always floats to the surface.

[00:45:45]Is this the Magic School Bus?

[00:45:47]>> Is this the Magic School Bus? Magic School Bus? Magic School Bus? Magic School Bus? Magic School Bus? Magic School Bus? Magic School Bus?

[00:45:54]Magic Magic School Bus?

[00:45:56]I want the Magic School Bus. I want THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS.

[00:46:09]>> WELL, NOTHING LIKE A GOOD hoax to get you your own series.

[00:46:14]I love show business.

[00:46:18]Hello. Is this the Magic School Bus?

[00:46:20]No, this is Jerry Pevere. But you were just on the Magic School Bus, weren't you?

[00:46:26]And now I'm on my way to fame and fortune. Goodbye. Wait a minute.

[00:46:32]I just like to say that it's dangerous to dive underwater unless there are life guards around. That's right, and the cuter they are, the better. Thank you and goodbye.

[00:46:42]And now I'm out of here.

[00:46:48]Oh, should I let it ring?

[00:46:52]No, no, could be my agent.

[00:46:55]Hello. I just saw your show where the bus floated and sank by pushing water in and out of those big tank things.

[00:47:03]Well, that's ridiculous. Why?

[00:47:07]I don't know about any bus, but that's how submarines switch from floating to sinking and back again.

[00:47:13]By pushing water in and out of big tanks inside the hull.

[00:47:18]They do?

[00:47:19]They do. Goodbye.

[00:47:23]Now, do I have everything?

[00:47:25]Oh, I don't believe this. Hello, whatever it is you want, make it quick.

[00:47:29]I bet you I can make a solid copper penny float. Oh, no way. That would be so heavy it'd sink no matter what.

[00:47:36]Uh-uh. All you've got to do is get it to push more water out of the way to hold its weight. So, smash it thin and flat with a hammer and then bend up the edges to make a copper boat.

[00:47:50]Then it'll float.

[00:47:52]Gee, thanks for the tip.

[00:47:56]And thank you for [music] the tip, Liz.

[00:47:59]Bye-bye.

[00:48:07]>> [music]
