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 97.
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 97? SHOW THEM.
UMYEAH. 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 97--
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!
[GULP]
TAKE ME OUT OF THE FRICTION
WHERE THINGS JUST SLOW TO A STOP ♪
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA ♪
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA ♪
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.
[TWEET]
[TWEET]
[TWEET] 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 4-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 WAR!
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 GUN 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?
UHSOMEWHERE BETWEEN PAGE 96 AND 97.
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! YAY!
OUT OF THE BOOK AND THROUGH THE WORDS ♪
BACK TO THE CLASS WE GO
LA LA LA DA LA LA LA DA ♪
LA LA LA DA DEE DO
YAY! YAY!
WHOO! WHOO!
AN OPEN-AND-SHUT CASE!
CARLOS! CARLOS!
[LAUGHTER]
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 SHOT, 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]
IS THIS THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
IS THIS THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
Both: MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
I WANT THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!
[WHISTLING]
[YAWNS]
[WHISTLING]
HEY, LIZ. ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER--
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
CALLER? NOW, WHO COULD THAT BE?
HELLO. MAGIC SCHOOL BUS 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 SHOOTS, 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.

HEY, YOU GUYS, CHECK THIS OUT!

I JUST FOUND OUT THE COOLEST THING!
Ms. Frizzle: YOO HOO! LIZ, LIZ, COME HERE.

I'M ONE SWING AWAY FROM HITTING MY WAY INTO THE RECORD BOOKS!

IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIVES.

OK, OK. HOW ABOUT
NAPOLEON! FINE.
IF NAPOLEON COMES ALONG AND GIVES THE SLED A PUSH,
IT WILL MOVE!
THAT'S A FORCE.

UNTIL SOMETHING STOPS IT.

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 4-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 WAR!
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 GUN 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?
UHSOMEWHERE BETWEEN PAGE 96 AND 97.
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! YAY!
OUT OF THE BOOK AND THROUGH THE WORDS ♪
BACK TO THE CLASS WE GO
LA LA LA DA LA LA LA DA ♪
LA LA LA DA DEE DO
YAY! YAY!
WHOO! WHOO!
AN OPEN-AND-SHUT CASE!
CARLOS! CARLOS!
[LAUGHTER]
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 SHOT, 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]
IS THIS THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
IS THIS THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
Both: MAGIC SCHOOL BUS?
I WANT THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!
[WHISTLING]
[YAWNS]
[WHISTLING]
HEY, LIZ. ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER--
[TELEPHONE RINGING]
CALLER? NOW, WHO COULD THAT BE?
HELLO. MAGIC SCHOOL BUS 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 SHOOTS, 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.
