Title Card

Mr. Haney gets a phone call and picks it up. While he is talking, a pile of paper falls of and one sheet flys out the window and lands next to Buster. He takes it home and shows it to Francine and Arthur and says that each person had a number next to their names and claims that it is an alien shopping list and they were ingredients. Arthur says that their probably getting new lockers while francine says that its probably a class ranking. She jokes asking if Buster was at the bottom of the list. But he says he isn't and that she was. She asks to see the sheet and yelped " 24." And says that is wasn't even right because she was at the bottom and Arthur was number 2. He asked her why he wouldn't be at the top and she states that the Brain is number 5 and gets better grades than him.He retorted what she said by saying " No, maybe it's not just based on grades and maybe politeness." Buster said that he was number 11. And that it was basically number 1 with a twin. Frensky says that he was higher on the list and she was politer.



Bitzi wakes up Buster and he looks at the clock and it says 7:11am
