[whispering] Come with me.

Why not?

DWD.W.

Shush. [whispering] This was about our lost brother.

[whispering] We didn't have a brother.

[whispering] They're keeping him a secret. But I've seen him.

[to the audience] Oh. Good.

See that? I wonder where he is. But Mom and Dad had just sold him or something like that.

[gets heated with D.W.] Uh, D.W., that was me.

DWD.W.

It was not.

It was too.

DWD.W.

But you wear glasses.

Well, that was before I wore glasses.

DWD.W.

Well, you were born with glasses.

You're only two years old then, so you just probably didn't remember.

[Title card: Arthur's Eyes]

Arthur is walking home covering his face with a coat and arrives at his house, his father is raking leaves with D.W. sitting in them.

DWD.W.

[starts crying]

Hmm? Arthur?

Do not talk to me! [slams the door]

[has put his glasses on D.W.'s toy hammering bench and guides her hand with the hammer] That's it, D.W..

DWD.W.

[giggling, hits with the hammer, but misses the glasses]

What are you doing with your glasses?

D.W. took them, Mom. I was just getting them back.

Well, be careful with these. You didn't need them to get broken.

No, Mom.

[D.W. hits Arthur's fingers with the hammer]

Ow!! [chuckles nervously]

And since then, I always wore glasses. Does that solve your mystery?

DWD.W.

Yes, I guess... but it wasn't as good as having a lost brother. [sees a picture of a much younger Jane and David dancing to disco.] And, look. Who's this weird guy with Mom?

This is Dad.

DWD.W.

But Dad doesn't have a beard, Arthur. But maybe Mom's divorced. I gotta wake her up now, and demand an explanation!

D.W.! Wait, D.W.! D.W.! [runs after her.]

DWD.W.

I'm not going!

EEveryone

What? Why?

DWD.W.

I don't want to go in the water!

You're not still scared of octopuses, are you? We're going to the lake, D.W. Octopuses live in oceans, not lakes.

DWD.W.

I'm not going, and that's that!

Arthur...

Don't worry, Dad. I'll work out all their schedules... somehow.

DWD.W.

[screams as frogs hop around the bathtub] HELP!!!

D.W.?!

Uh-oh. Oh, no! The ant farm! No, Kate, don't! [Kate cries] Oh, no! Hey, wait! Hey! Where you going?! [steps on the cat's tail and the cat meows]

Huh?

Come here!

Arthur!

DWD.W.

Arthur...
