[upbeat music]
[computer beeps] Hi! Can you hear me okay?
Oh, good.
[Pal barking]
Not now, Pal.
I'm talking to my friends who are graduating from school.
[Pal barking]
[Arthur laughing] Pal says, "Hi."
[paper rustling]
[Arthur sighs, clears throat]
In these uncertain times,
we need to look toward new beginnings.
- Hey! [Arthur yelling]
- What ya doin'?
- I'm giving a speech to my--
- Yeah, I heard.
"In these uncertain times." Snooze fest!
No one wants to hear a speech.
Just be you... but better.
- Out! - Okay, okay!
I'm going. I'm going.
[Arthur sighing]
- Sorry about that.
Isn't this the strangest time?
I haven't seen Buster since forever.
Or Francine, or Muffy or Brain.
I mean, I've seen them on the computer,
but we haven't hung out.
I guess it hasn't been all bad, though.
I've gotten to spend a lot of time with my family.
We do puzzles, play games,
and Dad has been baking constantly.
And, I'm super lucky because everyone's okay,
especially Grandma Thora and Grandpa Dave.
And that's because they have a lot of
really great people helping them.
I'm so grateful to all the nurses, doctors,
and healthcare workers.
I'm even grateful to Mr. Ratburn for sending me schoolwork.
[chuckles] I never thought I'd say that.
I guess what I've learned from all this is: be kind.
Be kind to your dog, your mom,
even your little sister.
And, be kind to yourself, too.
This hasn't been easy, and you're doing great,
seriously.
One day, we're going to look back at this time
and say, "We got through that together!"
Maybe we weren't in the same room, but we were together.
And if we can do this together,
we can do anything.
I really believe that.
Huh! [chuckles] I guess D. W. was right.
It was better just to talk!
Stay safe everyone!
[computer beeping]
- Phew! I'm glad that's over.
Okay people, here's what you have to know:
you are tough.
T-U-F, tough!
And 'T' stands for, uh, turtles!
'Cause turtles have hard shells,
but they're also cute.
And 'U' stands for, um, uh, you!
And the 'F', uh, that's for fierce!
Roar!
You've got this!
[groovy music]
Now wash your hands,
sing at the top of your lungs,
and save the world!
- D.W., what are you?
Are you on my computer?
