0
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,557
Okay, guys...l'll show you how to do it. Stand
back£¡

1
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,873
Way to go, Wanda£¡

2
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:20,188
All right£¡

3
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,349
Good jump£¡

4
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,432
But l'm only half-way to the basket.

5
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,717
l'll never jump high enough to do a slam dunk.

6
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,711
At least you jumped higher than l did.

7
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,949
And l've been pumping iron to build up my
muscles.

8
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,237
Lifting weights isn't going to get you there,
Carlos.

9
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:41,791
There's no way any of us can do a slam dunk -
we're too short£¡

10
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:42,710
DA's right£¡

11
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,756
Basketball players are way taller than we are.

12
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,389
Which means we have to jump higher to cover
the same distance.

13
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,871
Too bad the slam-dunk exhibition isn't in ten
years to give us time to grow up...

14
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,520
l don't see what you're all so worried about.

15
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,798
Only one kid from the whole school is going to
get picked for the exhibition.

16
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,474
What are the chances it'll be one of us?

17
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,950
Attention, please this is your principal
speaking.

18
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,031
Hey listen up - it's Mr. Ruhle£¡

19
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,156
The drawing has been completed

20
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:16,156
for the student who will represent our school in
the slam dunk exhibition at tonight's game.

21
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,879
Oh please, oh please, let it be me.

22
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,476
And the winner is...from Ms Frizzle's class...

23
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,515
...PHOEBE-BE-BE-BE TERESE£¡

24
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,670
Oh, no£¡ Me?????????

25
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,671
You can do it, Phoebe£¡

26
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,075
Yeah - you can do it...can't you?

27
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:38,234
But...but l can't jump. l'm only good at games
where you stay on the ground...

28
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,197
lt's okay, Feebs. We'll help you£¡

29
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,838
Yeah, come on£¡

30
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:46,516
lsn't jumping just using your muscles to push
your weight up off the ground?

31
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,149
You're right£¡ This is just a battle between me
and gravity.

32
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,275
To jump higher,

33
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,478
all l have to do is throw myself into the air...as
hard as l can£¡

34
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,318
lt didn't work...

35
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,630
Well, the good news is you went up...

36
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,358
But then you came back down...

37
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,039
just like this ball.

38
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,231
According to my research,

39
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,517
it's gravity that makes things fall by pulling
down on them.

40
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,956
So, the problem is, no matter what,

41
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,713
gravity is always going to pull down on me£¡

42
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,552
Too true, Phoebe.

43
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:23,393
Gravity may be invisible - but make no
mistake,

44
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,677
it's always there£¡ And it's always pulling on
you£¡

45
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,433
What goes up, must come down...

46
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,079
MS FRlZZLE£¡£¡

47
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,154
Whew£¡

48
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,514
That's the problem all right£¡

49
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,195
So how can Phoebe jump high enough to do a
slam dunk

50
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,157
before she gets pulled down by gravity again?

51
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,276
An uplifting question, Tim£¡

52
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,990
lf my problem is gravity, then what l need to do
is get rid of gravity£¡

53
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,911
No pull - no problem£¡

54
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,072
Get rid of gravity??? What planet do you live
on?

55
00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,029
Well, maybe not get rid of all gravity - but get
rid of some of it...?

56
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,910
Get real, Phoebe£¡ To get less gravity, you'd
have to go...to...the moon.

57
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,116
Now there's a weighty notion...

58
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,954
But we don't have TlME to go to the moon£¡

59
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,918
Did l say we were going to the moon, Arnold?

60
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,153
No, but...

61
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,595
Come along, class. To the bus£¡

62
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,079
You, too, Liz.

63
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,512
lf we're not going to the moon,

64
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,919
then where are we going?

65
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,151
l have to do my slam dunk in just a few hours.

66
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,915
lf only l could just do it once, just to see what it
feels like...

67
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,029
But no matter what, gravity is always there,
pulling down on me...

68
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,953
As my old friend Les Waite always says,

69
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,838
''lf you can't take the gravity, get off the earth£¡''

70
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,273
Hit it, Liz£¡

71
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,353
Here we go£¡

72
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,356
Ms Frizzle? What are we doing all the way out
here?

73
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,876
Well Keesha... we all agree that no matter
where on Earth we go...

74
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,235
gravity is going to be pulling down on us.

75
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,471
So... l thought we'd just make a planet of our
own

76
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,152
with gravity we can control

77
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,512
Welcome to Planet Schoolbus£¡

78
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,711
The bus is a planet.

79
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:56,790
Uh hmm£¡

80
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,835
Wow£¡

81
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,752
Care to take a closer look?

82
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,831
lt is now a planet with its very own gravity.

83
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,991
Hey, guys... is it just me, or is that...

84
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,672
A basketball court£¡

85
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,550
Cool£¡ Just like the one at the WalkeRVille
Arena£¡

86
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,191
Yeah - except this one's got an even bigger
screen- for instant replay£¡

87
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,360
And a gigantic popcorn machine£¡

88
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,158
Mmm-mmm£¡

89
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,789
Hmmmm... a different planet with its own
gravity...

90
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,395
lf l could just get the feel of doing a slam dunk,

91
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,948
then maybe l'll be able to do it back on Earth.

92
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,671
What's going on?

93
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,311
The gravity here pulls down on me just as
much as the gravity back on earth£¡

94
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,553
Hmmmm. You're absolutely right, Phoebe.

95
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,518
Time for a change. Go for it Liz£¡

96
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,510
Hey£¡ Our planet just got smaller£¡£¡

97
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,672
Yeah, but what's that got to do with less
gravity?

98
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,912
l think it's got a lot to do with it£¡£¡ Wahoo£¡£¡£¡

99
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,272
Then slam dunk, here l come£¡

100
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,918
l did it£¡

101
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,032
Uh...Phoebe?

102
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:28,870
Yeah?

103
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,313
Oh dear£¡

104
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,269
Hey, Phoebe£¡

105
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,831
Looks like you've really got the HANG of this,
Pheebs£¡

106
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,708
Very funny, Carlos. How am l going to get
down?

107
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,994
Just let go£¡

108
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,390
With less gravity pulling you down, you won't
fall so hard.

109
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,835
Excellent obseRVation DA£¡£¡

110
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:01,758
Yeah - look at this£¡ Less pull means l can lift
this weight with one hand£¡

111
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,114
And so can Liz£¡

112
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,593
They're right, Phoebe£¡ On Earth l could barely
jump off the ground.

113
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,712
Now, l can jump over Ralphie£¡

114
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,714
Hey, watch it£¡

115
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,838
Yeah but jumping isn't falling£¡

116
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,356
Sure it is£¡ Falling is just the down-part of
jumping£¡

117
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,230
Well, okay... if you say so. l'm letting go....
NOW£¡

118
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,632
Too bad falling isn't this easy on earth£¡

119
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,753
So why is there less gravity here now?

120
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,110
A cheery querie Arnold.

121
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,431
ls it because the busplanet got small?

122
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,878
Superior supposition, DA£¡

123
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,558
The less planet you've got - the less gravity it
has to pull down on you.

124
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,789
l feel light as a feather£¡ Does less gravity
mean things weigh less?

125
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,110
Only one way to find out£¡

126
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,716
lt's time to weigh-in£¡

127
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,072
At home l weigh about 65 pounds...

128
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,991
But here l only weigh 15£¡

129
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,917
Amazing£¡ l weigh less than l did when l was
two£¡

130
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,438
So, how much you weigh depends on how
much gravity there is to pull down on you.

131
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:34,279
Dynamically... deduced£¡

132
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,752
Well, thanks to this field trip, l know what it's
like to do a slam dunk.

133
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,755
Yeah, so maybe we'd better get back to earth
so you can practice for the real thing...

134
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,629
Go home? Now? But what a waste of an
opportunity£¡

135
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,631
Keesh, don't you want to...

136
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,670
Play ball£¡ And don't let anything hold you
down.

137
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:03,236
Man, look how high these balls are bouncing£¡

138
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,594
They may never come down.

139
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:07,877
Oh, they'll come down all right, Tim, just like
Phoebe did.

140
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,838
With less gravity, it takes a little longer, that's
all.

141
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,636
Speaking of longer, look at me dribble£¡

142
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,917
My steps are a lot longer and higher than on
earth£¡

143
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,118
And look how much farther l can throw the ball
with less gravity£¡

144
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,156
Heads up, Carlos£¡

145
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,034
Carlos - two£¡ Gravity - zip£¡

146
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,792
l did it£¡

147
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,838
YAAAAAAAAY! WAY TO GO,FEEBS!

148
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,593
Now that's what l call a slam dunk£¡

149
00:10:52,680 --> 00:10:53,510
You know,

150
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,149
since it was so easy to slam dunk with less
gravity -

151
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,915
l wonder what it'd be like if there wasn't any
gravity at all£¡

152
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,278
Well, take a load off your mind, Phoebe, your
'weight' is ended£¡

153
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,918
Over to you, Liz£¡

154
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:17,519
Uh oh£¡ Our busplanet has almost disappeared
completely£¡

155
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:22,117
Less planet - less gravity. Right, Ms Frizzle?

156
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,270
Let me put it this way, Dorothy Ann.

157
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:25,679
WA-HOOOOO...£¡

158
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,079
Ms Frizzle£¡ Wow£¡ l don't believe it£¡

159
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,913
Come on up - the weather's fine£¡

160
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,831
l'm coming, Ms Frizzle£¡

161
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,076
WAHOO£¡

162
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:43,916
Wait for......meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...£¡£¡£¡

163
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,116
Me, toooooooooooo...£¡£¡£¡

164
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,749
Come on, Arnold, let's do it£¡

165
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,478
No way, Keesha£¡

166
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:54,758
What if the busplanet suddenly gets bigger
and gravity comes back?

167
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,879
Don't worry, Arnold£¡ Liz is nowhere near the
controls.

168
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:03,670
Hey£¡

169
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,510
Time to lighten up, Arn£¡£¡

170
00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:09,830
Whooooaaaaaa£¡£¡£¡£¡£¡

171
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,835
Yo, Feeb£¡ Bet you can do an awesome slam
dunk now£¡

172
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,037
You've got that right, Tim. Here goes£¡

173
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,594
Oh no£¡ This isn't working£¡

174
00:12:22,680 --> 00:12:24,432
l can't run across the floor...

175
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,475
l can't jump.

176
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,190
l can't even fall down anymore£¡

177
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,114
That's because with no gravity...there is no
'down' anymore£¡

178
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:43,512
And no pull down means no weight, either£¡ l
don't weigh a thing, now£¡

179
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,192
Ooops£¡ Sorry, Arn.

180
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,030
No problem£¡ Ahhh, l just wish Janet could see
me now£¡

181
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,873
l don't know about having no gravity, Ms
Frizzle.

182
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,428
lt makes everything really hard to do

183
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,636
especially slam dunking£¡

184
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,633
Well, gravity does have it's advantages.

185
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,030
Yeah, it keeps your feet on the ground so you
can walk.

186
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,350
And helps you know up from down£¡

187
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,835
And when you throw a ball up in the air...

188
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,115
...gravity makes it come down every time£¡

189
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,355
So if you don't mind...

190
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,716
l'm going to put the lever back to normal
gravity so we can go home£¡

191
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,749
l may not be able to slam dunk there - but l
can't slam dunk right now either£¡

192
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:31,675
Ready?

193
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,149
Whenever you are, Phoebe£¡ Go for it, Feebs£¡

194
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,388
The lever seems to be stuck£¡

195
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,759
Oh no£¡£¡£¡£¡

196
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:49,709
WHOAAAAAAAAAAAA....!!!

197
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,597
l knew l should've stayed home today£¡

198
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,269
Are you guys all right? l pushed the lever too
far...

199
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,436
Man, talk about a downer£¡

200
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,353
l feel as if l weigh a million pounds£¡

201
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,432
Yeah, me, too£¡

202
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,398
As Les Waite's brother More used to tell me,

203
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,199
''A lot of gravity is a heavy proposition£¡''

204
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,793
At least we won't staRVe.

205
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,270
No wonder there's so much gravity£¡

206
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,395
Look£¡

207
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,393
Our busplanet is humungo£¡

208
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,591
So let's get the facts --

209
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:34,196
we just took chances, got messy and became
really heavy, right?

210
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,032
Right...

211
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,829
What was that noise?£¡

212
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,672
l didn't hear anything.

213
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,992
Oh no£¡£¡£¡£¡ There's so much gravity,

214
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,071
its pulling really hard£¡£¡

215
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,152
Hang on everybody£¡£¡

216
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,800
WHOAAAAAAAAAA.......!!!

217
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,675
Well, folks. lt looks like...

218
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,557
...we officially brought the house down.

219
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,551
CAR-LOS£¡£¡

220
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,232
That's right, Carlos.

221
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,551
As you can see, none of this stuff was built to
take that extra pull.

222
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,193
WOWWWWWWWWWW£¡

223
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,075
Whew...

224
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:52,037
Since we made the busplanet so huge, it's
pulling down on us more - much more£¡

225
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,031
Phoebe£¡ Do something£¡

226
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,512
Like what? l can barely move£¡

227
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,954
Uh-oh£¡£¡£¡

228
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:04,149
Oh-nooooo£¡£¡£¡£¡

229
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,470
Boy, falling with extra gravity pulling you down
is no picnic.

230
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,632
And there's no picnic because you must've
eaten it£¡

231
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,950
You weigh four hundred and fifty pounds£¡£¡

232
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,269
Oh great£¡

233
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,238
Now we're stuck with heavy gravity forever£¡

234
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,154
l feel so heavy l can barely move£¡

235
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,750
l can't even stand up£¡

236
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,070
Don't get heavy-hearted, class£¡

237
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,559
lt's not often you have the chance to know
what it would be like

238
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,312
to feel as heavy as a hippopotamus£¡

239
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,356
But if we don't get out of here,

240
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,238
l'm going to miss the slam dunk exhibition£¡

241
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,118
What are we gonna do?£¡

242
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,431
We're too heavy to climb up there and reach
the lever£¡

243
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,829
We're trapped by the pull of gravity£¡

244
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,717
Wait a second...

245
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,315
if we can't move because gravity is pulling us
down so much,

246
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,278
why can't we beat it with a stronger pull up?

247
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,237
Good thinking, Phoebe£¡

248
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,357
Yeah but we can't even sit up much less pull
up.

249
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,149
lf you could pull me and the scale up and out
of the hole,

250
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,038
maybe l could crawl over to the gravity
machine,

251
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:11,953
switch it back to normal, and we'd be saved£¡

252
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,156
Yeah... but how??

253
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,673
Hey, look£¡

254
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,912
Hey look£¡ That rope that's holding the scale
goes up through that pulley in the ceiling...

255
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,353
... and down here again.

256
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,149
So, if we pull down on the rope hard enough,

257
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,074
it will pull up on Phoebe with more force than
gravity is pulling her down.

258
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,628
But where do we get enough pull?

259
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,870
Phoebe weighs 450 pounds£¡

260
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,509
So what? lf she does, so does each of us£¡

261
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,955
And together we weigh a lot more than that.

262
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,917
Cunningly crafted, class.

263
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,912
Now all you have to do is put all your weight
into it£¡

264
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,954
Ready, guys?

265
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,229
Ready£¡

266
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,198
Ready, Phoebe?

267
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,315
Ready£¡

268
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,438
Okay... PULL£¡£¡£¡

269
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,953
PULL£¡£¡£¡

270
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,314
Uhhhhh...£¡£¡£¡

271
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,358
Hurry, guys£¡ The rope is going to break£¡

272
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,272
Aaarrggghhuurgghhh£¡

273
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:12,590
Almost there... keep pulling...

274
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,953
Aaarrggghhuurgghhh£¡

275
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,359
l can almost reach it...

276
00:18:19,120 --> 00:18:20,155
Ahhhhh£¡

277
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,798
Are you guys all right?

278
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,916
Couldn't be better. What about you?

279
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,718
Can you move the lever?

280
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:27,710
Not yet...£¡

281
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,712
Come on, muscles, do your stuff...

282
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,509
PUSH£¡ PUSH£¡ PUSH£¡

283
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,516
lt's working£¡ l'm not such a heavyweight
anymore£¡

284
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,273
l can move again - and even jump a little£¡

285
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,794
Follow me, class£¡ Alley-ooop£¡£¡

286
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,470
l never thought l'd appreciate normal gravity so
much...£¡

287
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,518
You did it, Phoebe£¡ You saved us£¡

288
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,999
And just in time£¡

289
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,709
You're right, Carlos. l've got a basketball to
dunk...

290
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,712
and l think l know just how l'm going to do it.

291
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,031
Way to go, Phoebe£¡ To the bus£¡

292
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,759
But Ms Frizzle, this is the bus£¡

293
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,354
Excellent obseRVation, Arnold£¡

294
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:28,435
Ladies and gentlemen...boys and girls...

295
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,592
...it's half-time, and the moment you've all
been waiting for...

296
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,593
...the slam-dunk exhibition£¡ From WalkeRVille
Elementary,

297
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,559
l'm proud to introduce the queen of the court
...the duchess of dunk..

298
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,632
...FEEEEEEE-BEEEEEEEEEEE£¡£¡£¡

299
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,235
Fee-bee...Fee-bee...

300
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,878
Thank you, Ms Frizzle. Thank you, everybody.

301
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,350
Unfortunately, what you all came here to see
me do tonight -

302
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,953
isn't going to happen.

303
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,636
lt's not going to happen - because it can't
happen.

304
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,191
There's just no way kids our size can jump
high enough to slam dunk a basketball

305
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,191
like a super-tall basketball player.

306
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,318
BOOS£¡

307
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,391
Go on, Phoebe... you're doing fine...£¡

308
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,508
The reason l can't do a slam dunk is gravity£¡
That's right, gravity.

309
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,637
You see, everything on earth - including us -

310
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,359
is pulled down by this invisible force

311
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,118
...we call gravity.

312
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,358
The pull of gravity is caused by the whole
earth

313
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,238
pulling down on everything and everyone on it.

314
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,231
The bigger the planet...the stronger the pull.

315
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,470
The smaller the planet... the weaker the pull.

316
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,274
And there's nothing we can do about it£¡

317
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,389
Well...

318
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,513
...not unless you know how to push up harder
than gravity is pulling you down£¡

319
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,589
Ready?

320
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,749
READY£¡

321
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:50,597
Just how does Phoebe plan to overcome
gravity and complete a slam dunk?

322
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,958
Whatever her plan, l'm sure you're all pulling
for her£¡ Ha£¡ Ha£¡

323
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,032
Come on, Phoebe£¡ You can do it£¡

324
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,190
Guys?

325
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,518
lt's time to slam and jam, Feeb.

326
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,192
Let's do it£¡

327
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:10,400
And...Phoebe jumps£¡ Gravity pulling her
down...down...down£¡

328
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,630
But wait£¡ She's going back up...

329
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,278
up... up...£¡

330
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,551
The teeter totter has pushed her up with lots
more force

331
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,119
than the downward pull of gravity£¡

332
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,117
And she goes up for the dunk...

333
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,270
And slams it home£¡

334
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,075
Ah-mazing£¡

335
00:21:32,120 --> 00:21:37,240
As l always say, ''You can count on gravity to
pull you through£¡''

336
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,158
Hey, Liz - want to go one on one?

337
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,073
Sorry, Liz£¡

338
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,390
Magic School Bus. The producer speaking.

339
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,388
Since when can a school bus - even a magic
one - become a planet??£¡?

340
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,870
Never underestimate the magic of the Magic
School Bus.

341
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,350
And what about the magic of how the kids
moved when there was different gravity?

342
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,872
That change in gravity may have been caused
by magic,

343
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,279
but the results were real.

344
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:48,588
With stronger gravity,

345
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,195
it would be harder to move, and things built for
normal gravity would break.

346
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,279
With weaker gravity...

347
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:55,759
...well, it looked just like that

348
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,229
when the astronauts walked, and jumped, on
the moon.

349
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,949
But wouldn't it have been easier to just change
the pull of the Earth's gravity?

350
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,190
Why go to all the trouble of making your own
planet?

351
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,630
Well, first of all, how much gravity you have
depends on

352
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,109
how much stuff there is in the planet
underneath you

353
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,796
The only way to get less gravity on Earth
would be to remove a big chunk of it

354
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,872
to make it smaller and give it less pull£¡ Not a
good idea

355
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,190
So, does that mean that small planets,

356
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,953
like Mars and Pluto, have less gravity than
earth?

357
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:23,995
You got it£¡

358
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:25,910
Liz£¡

359
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:26,830
What are you doing??

360
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,356
Would a pulley and a rope really work with all
that extra gravity?

361
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,429
Absolutely...

362
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,115
No matter how much gravity you've got, you
can always lift something

363
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,033
as long as you use more force than gravity
pulls down.

364
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,989
Uh... thanks for calling. Bye£¡

365
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,479
Liz, what is going...

366
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,515
And the lizard scores£¡

367
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,992
Ha ha. That was fantastic, Liz£¡ You really put
your weight into it£¡

368
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,589
Want to do it again?

369
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,029
Guess not...
