You can learn a lot about a person just from what's in their desk. 00:00:59For instance, in Francine's desk... 00:01:01Hey, what do you think you're doing? 00:01:03We're looking in your desk to see how neat or messy it is, stuff like that. 00:01:08No way, it's off-limits. 00:01:10Try Buster's desk. 00:01:11Hey, that's not fair! 00:01:12If he can't look in yours, then he can't look in mine. 00:01:15Try Binky's. 00:01:16He's going to get more than he bargained for if he tries to open my desk. 00:01:22Come on, guys, it's for the show. 00:01:23FRANCINE: That's another thing: How come you're the one who gets to introduce the show? 00:01:28Because it's my show. 00:01:31BINKY: Well, maybe that needs to change. 00:01:33I knew this would happen eventually. 00:01:36Unfortunately, kids can be rather petty sometimes. 00:01:39Here, follow me. 00:01:40The Binky Barnes Variety Hour, and anyone who doesn't like it can walk! 00:01:44I'll show you around the teachers' lounge. 00:01:47The nice thing about adults is that we don't blow little things out of proportion. 00:01:52I didn't move your cheese! 00:01:54Yes, you did! 00:01:57Mr. Marco said so! 00:01:58All right, who isn't washing their coffee mugs? 00:02:10Yee-ha! 00:02:16(fan humming) Binky, just because George is absent today doesn't mean you can put your feet on his chair. 00:02:27RATBURN: Binky... 00:02:28put your shoes on your feet and off the chair, thank you. 00:02:32Now, as I was saying, the United Nations was established after World War II to prevent future conflicts and foster cooperation between countries. 00:02:40Its organizations include the United Nations Children's Fund... 00:02:43They're getting more breeze than everyone else. 00:02:47Yeah, it's not fair. 00:02:48And it smells funny over here. 00:02:50Maybe the heat is affecting the sandwich in my desk. 00:02:54Why did you bring a sandwich on Pizza Day? 00:02:57I didn't. 00:02:57It's from the last time we had tuna fish in the cafeteria. 00:03:00It's my emergency sandwich. 00:03:02That was a whole month ago. 00:03:04And it's polluting my air. 00:03:06Get rid of it. 00:03:07Well, it's my sandwich in my desk, so no way. 00:03:11Besides, I'm not even sure I could find it. 00:03:16Well, could you at least stop fanning the smell in my direction? 00:03:20Hey, I don't want the smell either. 00:03:22RATBURN: Arthur... 00:03:24Francine, Buster, am I going to have to split you up? 00:03:28Where was I? 00:03:30Oh, yes, the World Food Program... 00:03:31ARTHUR: Hey, is that the latest issue ofBionic Bunny? 00:03:34BUSTER: Yeah, it's really good. 00:03:37Here, you can borrow it.
