But More Importantly,

It Defines Who We Are...

The Nervous System

Is Composed

One, Of A Series

Of Large Centers

Of Nerve Matter

Called, Collectively, The Cerebro-Spinal Centers.

2, Of Smaller Centers:

Ganglia.

3, Of Nerves Connected.

Either At The Cerebrum...

Of Certain Modifications

Of The Peripheral Terminations

Of The Nerves

Forming The Organs

Of The External Senses.

The Cerebro-Spinal Axis

Consists Of The Brain...

Which Are Contained

Within The Skull And Spinal Canal.

The Brain

And Its Memories...

...Which Lines

The Interior Of The Skull.

Its Outer Surface

Is Rough And Fibrillated,

And Adheres Closely

To The Inner Surface Of The Bones,

Forming Their Internal

Periosteum.

This Adhesion Being Most

Marked Opposite The Sutures

And At The Base

Of The Skull.

...Sent Inward Into

The Cavity Of The Skull

Are 4 In Number...

Well, Folks,

There You Have It.

An In-Depth Journey

Into The Very Unique Mind

Of Eddie Walker.

I Hope It's

Been Enlightening.

For Wtuv,

This Is Trudy Walker.

[Sighs]

So, What'd You Think?

What?

Uh, Well...

I Said I Wanted Honesty.

I Definitely

Learned A Lot.

And The Music

Was Good.

You Hated It.

No, It's Just, Uh...

What's The Word?

Boring?

Yeah.

You're Right.

It Stinks.

You Wanted

Truth, Right?

Yeah, Right.

But Maybe We're

Not The Only People You Should Be Asking.

I Mean,

It's A Medical Show.

Maybe You Need

A Second Opinion.

Good Job, Tru.

[Door Closes]

Boring?

Well...

It May Not Be

Everyone's Cup Of Tea.

A Cliche?

Thanks, Mom.

That's Exactly What

I Needed To Hear.

I Think The Problem

Might Be That You Played It Safe.

I Want To Know Where

You Are In All This.

I'm Doing Most

Of The Filming.

That's Where I Am.

I Don't Mean Physically.

I Mean Emotionally.

What Are You

Talking About?

I Think It'd Be

Much More Interesting

From Your Point Of View.

Stop. I Get It.

You Hated It.

I'm A Total Failure.

Thank You.

Let's Just Drop It.

Help!

"Then, They Laid Down

In The Fluffy Hay

And Looked Up At

The Twinkling Stars."

Eddie:
Those.

Yeah.

Isn't It Beautiful?

Yeah. Yep.

Tru, Do The Lamb Voice.

Do The Lamb Voice, Tru.

"Baa. How Nice

And Cozy Are We.

"Good Night, Cow.

Good Night, Lamb.

Baa. Moo."

Do It Again, Tru.

Do It From Here.

No.

Please?

Please, Tru?

I'm Too Tired, Eddie.

Eddie, You Didn't

Think My Show

Was That Awful,

Did You?

It Needs

More Car Crashes.

[Laughs]

You're Right.

It's The Worst.

What If This Means

I Don't Have Any Talent?

I Mean, What If I Spent

All This Time Thinking

That I Was Born

To Have My Own Show,

And It Turns Out

I'm A Talentless,

Uncreative,

Boring Person?

You're Funny.

[Laughs]

Glad You Think So.

Tru...

Are You Mad At Me?

No.

Of Course Not. Why?

'Cause, Um...

You Never Play

With Me Anymore.

Sorry, Eddie.

I've Been Really Busy

Working On My Tape.

Um, It Makes Me Sad.

How Come?

'Cause You Used

To Be My Twin...

Only Now, You're Not.

Tru:
"Why Am I Such

A Loser, Deedee?

"I Want To Win

This Contest So Badly,

"But I Have No Idea

What Kind Of Show To Do.

"I Know My Mom

Tries To Help,

"But She Has This Way

Of Making Everything Sound Like Criticism.

"I Mean, If I Get

Too Personal,

Isn't Everyone Gonna See

The Show And Laugh At Me?"

Tru:
I Don't Know.

Everything I Come Up With Is Weak.

Maybe I'll Get Lucky

And Get, Like,

Severely

Body Checked Today.

That Might Shake

A Good Idea Loose.

I'm Sure

You'll Do Fine.

Eddie:
Come On, Tru!

Come On!

Have A Good Time, Kids.

We'll Be Over There

Cheering Our Heads Off.

Hi, Coach!

How's My Natural Wonder?

Ready To Rock 'N' Roll.

Good Boy.

You Gonna Remember

Not To Use

Your Hands Today,

Eddie?

I'll Try.

I Can't Ask For

More Than That.

Go To It.

Have Fun.

Come On.

[Indistinct Shouting]

Drive It In!

Drive It In!

Kick It! Oh!

It's Ok.

I Don't Know How

Any Of The Kids

Are Supposed

To Do Anything

With That

Garret Galitski On Their Team.

He's Such A

Little Ball Hog.

You Want To Say That

A Little Bit Louder?

His Parents Are Sitting

Right Over There.

All Right, Garret.

Come On!

Whoops.

[Laughing]

What?

Well, You Just Looked

Exactly Like Eddie When You Did That.

That Poor Guy.

Like He Doesn't

Have Enough Problems?

Baby...

Go! Go! Ok.

Pick Him Up!

That's Good.

Way To Go!

All Right, Tru!

Looking Good!

Tru:
The Great Part About

Having Eddie On My Is Once In A While,

We Get This--I Don't Know--

Like, Twin Telepathy

Thing Going On.

Sometimes, I Don't

Even Have To Look Up,

And I Automatically

Know He's Open.

Deedee:
Dear Tru...

The Truth Is,

What You Feel

And The Things

You Deal With Every Day

Are Intense And Powerful.

That's What

Makes Them Interesting.

And I Agree It Is Risky

To Share Them.

But Maybe What You're Mom

Was Trying To Tell You

Is That Nobody

Has Ever Made Great Art

Without Taking A Risk.

And Just Remember.

If You Show Your True Self,

You Will Be Rewarded.

[Sighs]

[Tru Laughs]

Isn't It Weird?

I Mean,

She Makes Me Feel

Totally Normal.

It's Like

I Suddenly Have My Own Personal Guardian Angel.

Did You Ever

Stop To Think

That Deedee

Could Be Some

500-Pound Guy

With Nasty B.O.

And A Tattoo On

His Hairy Back?

It's A Medical

Posting Site.

People Go There To Try

And Help Each Other.

Plus, She's

Totally Supportive.

She Thinks I'll Win

The Wtuv Contest.

And She Always

Encouraging Me

To Really Put

Myself Out There.

Oh, Hold On.

Hi, Tru. Hi.

Boom. Boom.

Tru! Tru!

Look, Look, Look, Look!

It's A Ducky!

I Don't Get It. Your Film's

About Eddie, Right?

Yeah, But It's Also

Kind Of About Me, Too.

You Sure You Want

To Do That?

Hello!

No.

Am I The Only One

Who Gets To Make

You Laugh?

Laugh Until You Cry?

Am I The Only One

Who Asks You To Go...

[Both Shouting]

Go On Without Me?

Am I The Only One

Who Loves

When You Leave...

Aah! Unbelievable!

Your Hair Down In Front

Of Your Face?

And Who

Who Do You Think I Am?

Nice Catch, Retard.

And Who

Who Do You Think

I'll Be?

Without You?

Mom, I Thought The Whole

Point Of Doing This

Was So That The Four

Of Us Could Be Together.

Look, Sweetie,

There Was An Emergency.

There's Always

An Emergency.

Sorry.

There's Only So

Much Of This Life I Can Control.

I'm Ready To Go,

Ok, Mom?

Lookin' Good, Edward.

Get Up! Go!

Stupid Kite.

Stay Up. Come On.

Kite, Stay Up!

Come On!

Kite, Stay Up!

Eddie, Maybe There Just

Isn't Enough Wind.

No, Tru, It's Not

The Wind's Fault.

The Kite's Stupid.

[Crying]

Stupid Kite.

It Must Be Retarded.

Oh...

Oh...Oh, Tru...

[Thunder Crashes]

Eddie:
Stay Up,

Stupid Kite...

Wow.

Stupid Kite, Stay Up.

Stupid Kite, Stay Up!

No, Tru, It's Not

The Wind's Fault.

The Kite's Stupid.

It Must Be Retarded.

I Can't Show This

To People.

They Won't Understand.

And What If They

Laugh At Eddie?

Ginny:
Why Would They?

Aren't You Showing Them

How Much He Means To You?

Yeah. So?

I Think It's Gonna Be

Very Moving.

I Know, Mother.

You Have To Think That.
