Buster Baxter quotes from Arthur

Buster

My mom's here. See you later.

Close that raincoat, you'll get double pneumonia!

Francine

Mom, yahoo!

Maybe your parents forgot about you.

No, they're coming from my Aunt Lucy's house. It's pretty far.

If they don't come, you'll be alone in an empty school all night.

Uh-uh.

Uh-huh. [a car horn sounds] That's my mom! Too bad. I guess you'll be here all alone.

Mrs. Barnes

Arthur, your mom called me. Your family has to spend the night at your aunt's because they had car trouble. So you'll be spending the night at our house. You can share Binky's room.

[his gloating smile disappears] He... uh-ah-ah! What?!

Fern

What are you writing your book report on, Arthur?

I've read a lot of good books lately. I'm trying to choose between the two best.

If you can't decide, I've read an exciting book about magnetic fields that I highly recommend.

Fern

No thanks, it can't be as good as "The Case of the Creepy Shadow." [she pulls out that book.]

What about you, Buster? [he pulls out a set of magnets sticking to one another] It's intriguing reading and comes with six free magnets.

Buster

Um, sounds great, Brain, but I plan to do what I always do. Book reports are no sweat.

So, what did you think?

Buster

Pretty good for just two guys in a cardboard TV, huh?

It was okay for the basement, but it would never work on real TV. [the end title appears] By the way, who's Dewey?

Francine Frensky

Maybe you didn't get it. (sings) ♪ Oh, the weather outside is crummy-- ♪

Buster Baxter

Stop singing!? NO MORE SINGINNNNNG!!!!!

I've been working on the plane all week. And it was so hard, but I'm almost done. [They enter Arthur’s room and find D.W. holding the plane’s fuselage, and Arthur gets grumpy, and yells to her] D.W., don't touch it! This paint isn't dry yet! [snatches the plane away and sees fingerprints all over it. D.W.’s fingers are colored orange]

Ew! [runs off to tell her mom] Mom, Arthur's plane made my hands orange!

Buster

I never thought about it before, but being an only child was so nice.

[gently provoking] So, I've missed Bionic Bunny from last night, and now I didn't get to watch TV for one week. Can you believe that?!

Buster

[withholds to listen to Arthur's story] Well, no. I didn't believe it. You've hit your sister? That was horrible.

Come on, like you never did hit anyone.

Buster

Nah.

[overhears Arthur, and Buster's conversation, and thinking that Arthur hitted his sister] Didn't you hear that? Arthur hit his sister! I, for one, am shocked!

[asks how Binky had been shocked, giving his difficult report] How come you'd be shocked about somebody hitting somebody?

Why?

Molly

You're Binky Barnes. You've always... [realizing] You know what, I couldn't remember the last time you had hit anyone.

Uh... what do you mean? [The Tough Customers, and Rattles disappointedly stared to him in annoyance, before they heard the school bell ring] Oh! There's the bell! Ha! We don't wanna be late! [The Tough Customers, and Rattles quickly walked inside with him]

[waits outside the school cafeteria] Psst. Hey, is Arthur in here?

Francine

Well, yes.

Well, maybe I'll just eat outside then. [walks outside]

Francine

Binky won't even get to eat near Arthur.

Buster

Well, that was awful. Maybe, we should bring them together. Then Arthur will thank us.

Buster

[drags Arthur out of the door] Binky was out here somewhere.

Er.. oof! [jumps into a bush, when a soccer ball flies into the bush]

I'll get it! [Binky hands it out] Thanks. [stops and comes back] Binky, what are you doing?

Avoiding Arthur. And if I didn't see him, I didn't have to hit him.

Oh. Well, why would you need to hit Arthur?

I didn't. And this is why I didn't need to see him.

Hmm... Boys. [walks away]

[paces outside the boys’ room, Brain comes out] Was Arthur in here?

[shakes his head] Well, nope.

[walks in, very relieved] Oh, uh... thanks, thanks, thanks so much!

[talks to Fern] She shattered my plane!

Fern

But she was just a little girl.

Saying that D.W. was just a little girl was like saying a tornado, just like a little wind.

Buster

[stands beside him] Hey, Arthur! Over here!

Shh! [grabs Buster and pulls him behind the plant. Buster stands beside him]

I thought somebody had called my name.

Muffy

We could write about things that really happened to us.

Francine

There's only one problem. Nothing's ever happened to us. They start walking home.

Are you kidding? What about when we first had Mr. Ratburn? We thought he was a monster.

Buster

Right. Or when I moved away.

Francine

I guess you could do something about when I taught Arthur to play baseball.

You were going to tell them?!

Buster

Well, yeah. It makes a good song.

Muffy

Eww! That is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in my life! [opens an ornate lunchbox] Luckily our chef prepared my lunch at home for me.

Francine

What a lightweight! There are a lot more disgusting things than Salisbury steak.

Yeah, smelly socks.

Baby diapers.

Buster

Cat whiskers.

Cat whiskers?

Francine

Hey, can someone help me?

Thank you. [walks past Francine]

You sound just like him!

Buster Baxter

I'm very disappointed in you, George! What on earth did you Carl's sick?!

But I...

Muffy Crosswire

George, what is wrong with Carl?!

Francine Frensky
