Francine Frensky quotes from Arthur

Francine

Pretend friend. What babies! Arthur's a baby!

Francine

[singing] It's raining, it's pouring

Francine

Baby.

Francine

Random

Francine

Wow! [flashback in the jungle and then Tarzan yells and falls off the vines] Uh! Ow!?

Mr. Marco

This quiz is to be completed in class. No talking! [writes math problems on the blackboard.]

This is a seven, right?

Francine Frensky

Nope, this is a two.

This is the one?

Francine

Nope, this is a seven.

This is a seven.

Francine

No, Arthur, this is a nine, will you please stop bothering me?

Mr. Marco

(clears throat) Ahem! Mmm! (handing out test results) These are your test results. Anybody with four or more mistakes should see me after class for extra homework.

Francine

[has all questions right, but Arthur has them all wrong] I guess math's not your best subject.

I've got a headache!

Buster Baxter

Yeah, sometimes Francine gives me a headache too.

Francine

(Offended, putting her head up with her eyes closed) Hmph.

Hmm?

Shoot! (shoots and scores)

Buster

[has the ball on a breakaway and passes to Arthur] Arthur!

Got it! No I didn't. (misses again, a peach cat gets the ball, passes to Francine)

Buster

Come on Arthur, you can do this! (Arthur shoots and it goes over the net and into the lockers) Oh, Arthur.

Francine

I guess basketball is just not the best sport.

Francine

Whoa! You look weird!

You look different! You get a new haircut?

[enraged and yells at Binky] No!!

Francine

Hey, Buster, look there! (Pointing at Arthur) Arthur's a four eyes! (Sing-song voice) Arthur's a four eyes! Arthur's a four eyes! Arthur's a four eyes!

Buster

[chides Francine] Some people need glasses to see, Francine. Big whoop!

[walks to school the next day with his glasses on, goes behind a tree and comes out with no glasses, chuckles, arrives at school. He and Buster pass Mr. Marco]

Mr. Marco

Arthur, where are your glasses?

I lost them. At home I think. It's very harder than ever to see without my glasses.

Buster

Why didn't you just wear them?

I didn't need them. I know this school at the back of my own hand. Boy's room is the third door from this corner, right?

Buster

Yeah, right.

See, why didn't I need them?

Buster

See you in class! [walks on]

Mr. Haney

This is why I lock the exams, and...

Mr. Marco

Oh, well, the examination was better than I thought it would be. Still, in all, I think that we're going to have to go over...

[counts the doors but misses the one the teachers came out of] First door. Second. Third. [walks into girl's room by mistake and sees Francine and Muffy talking to each other]

Francine

I said, if I'm not batting cleanup, I'm not playing.

Francine?!

Aah!

What are you doing in here?!

Francine

This is the girls' room! Get outta here!

Huh?

Augh! It's a boy! Get him out!

Get me out of there!!

Augh! (he drops his lunch box) Uh-oh....

Francine

[meets Arthur in the hallway] Old four eyes wass back.

Hi, Francine.

Francine

Huh?

I know that. You're wearing glasses.

Yes, I am.

Four-eyes. [laughs]

Binky? Do you know that Wilbur Rabbit wears glasses?

Yes, I saw that on TV last night.

Yeah, wasn't this great how they make him fly?

Francine

Do not ask me to read this problems to you! I have to concentrate.

All right.

Francine

Watch out everyone, Arthur has got the ball!

Mr. Marco

Very good Arthur. All correct.

Francine

Arthur. How would you like to play on my basketball team today? [shows Arthur her fake plastic glasses] Don't you like them?

There was no glass.

Francine

They're my movie star glasses. Do they make me look beautiful? Wilbur Rabbit wears glasses, you know.

And his are just like mine!

Francine

ARTHUR READ! Didn't you tell everyone I looked like a marshmallow?!

Um...

Buster

[to Arthur] Yeah, didn't you remember? When she was wearing that goofy sweater. [to Francine] So, what do you need to do about?

Francine

You better apologize or...

Buster

[to Francine] Or what?

Francine

[points at Arthur] Or you're gonna get it!

[both screams] [to each other] YOU!!

Francine

Arthur, why didn't you tell me what time it is? You got us locked in.

[pointing to himself] Me? [pointing to Francine] Why didn't you say what time it is?

Francine

[pointing to Arthur] I'm not your mother, Arthur Read! I mean, how dumb does a person have to be to get locked in a library? [holds up her arms in a "V" shape position with her hands open and pauses for a few seconds; angrier] Anyways, [puts her arms down] I have no time for childish bickering. I've gotta get out of here. [walks off]

Fine. [walks after Francine]

Francine

Fine. And by the way, I'm still not talking to you, and I'm not listening, either. [covers her ears with her hands and bends her elbows and walks forward until she bumps her elbow onto a bookshelf] Ow! [Arthur and Francine gets stacks of books off of the bookshelves and create passageways to escape from the library. Arthur builds a tower full of books while Francine builds a staircase of books.] Oh. [walks to the tower of books and grabs a book from the tower right before Arthur is about to unlock the window]

HEY! [the tower collapses and becomes a mess full of books, causing Arthur to fall] [sarcastically] Thanks, I was almost here.

Francine

[completes the staircase of books with the book she last grabbed, walks up the staircase, and unlocks the window, but a fly comes by, and takes 3 attempts to shoo the fly away, but screams and starts falling off the stairs of books] Ow!

I just remembered something...

Francine

About what?

Today is Saturday, which means the library is closed until...

Monday! [their voices start echoing around the library]

What did you do?! How can you let her hang up?!

Francine

Keep your shirt on. I'm calling my mom. [Francine dials the number of her apartment]

To dial out, you must enter the correct user code. Please hang up and try again. To dial out... [Francine gives an annoyed look to the camera]

All right. We're doomed.

Francine

You're such a wimp.

And you're a bossy know-it-all, [low tone] marshmallow.

Francine

[angrier] This does it, Arthur Read! If I have to spend the weekend here, I'm not spending it with you!

Fine with me! See if I care!

Francine

[greets Arthur on her bike while he's walking Pal] Hi, Arthur! [Francine cycles over to Arthur] So that's your new dog?

Yeah, his name is Pal.

Francine

[looks down at Pal] He looks more like a Steve.

Steve?

Francine

[teasingly] Can he do anything besides that?

Not yet, but I'm gonna teach him to flip through the air and catch frisbees upside-down. But right now, I'm just house-training him.

Francine

Well, you'd better train him quick because my cousin had a dog that they couldn't train, and her parents made the dog go live on a farm!

Really?

Francine

[yells as her tire deflates] Ugh! Hey!

Forget calling him Puddles. How about Lake?

I'll clean it up, Mom.

[holding a pooper-scooper in one hand and Kate in the other] Then, you'll need this.

[holding a shovel] No, you'll need this!

Pal was in the living room too!

What on Earth?!

My catering schedules! [walks over]

[holding up a bar of soap covered in dog fur] What's this?! It's the soap from the bathroom!

You still think he's so smart?

Buster

He ate the whole living room?

He didn't eat it. Just chewed on it.

Buster

My puppy was so much trouble that my mother gave it away while I was at school.

Francine

Probably to a farm.
