Fern Walters quotes from Arthur

Fern

[loudly] Be Quiet! I bet that none of you can write a poem and finish it in time to submit it to the poetry contest.

[catches up with Buster outside Lakewood Elementary] Buster, can you come to my party?

Buster

Are you kidding?! Of course!

[give Binky and invitation at his locker] Binky Barnes.

Me?!

Yeah, and Francine. [gives an invitation to Francine as she passes]

Francine

Oh boy! We can play spin the bottle!

[whispers] It's not too late to uninvite her.

No, I'll just do the recycling that morning so that there'll be no bottles in the house. [meets Muffy who is also holding invitations] Will you come to my party?

Muffy

Sure! When is it?

Saturday afternoon! I can't wait!

[gasp]

Muffy

This Saturday afternoon?! But that's when I'm having my party! [hands out invitations to Arthur’s friends] I would've handed out my invitations two days ago, but they came back late from the printer.

[hands out invitations to the girls] Can't you change your party to another day?

Muffy

Are you kidding?! The rock band and Pickles the clown have been booked for months!

Buster

You got Pickles?! He did my cousin's wedding! He's a genius!

Ooooh, Pickles!

But I can't change my party either! All my relatives are coming from Ohio!

Ooooh, Ohio!

Muffy

Well then, everybody will just have to choose which party to attend.

What are you thinking about?

Francine

About whose party to go to. Why? What are you thinking about?

Where's Ohio?

(chatter)

Everybody's really starting to hate each other.

Francine

This is just terrible Arthur!

[angrily blows raspberry]

I wish you could come to my party.

Francine

I promised Muffy. How can I go to both? What's a party without boys?!

Wait a minute! I have an idea! [whispers in her ear]

Francine

That's a great idea, Arthur!!

[covers Francine's mouth] Shhh! But we have to keep it secret!

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.

And before Muffy Crosswire hired you, you knew who wrote the note.

Fern

I deduced immediately it was Brain and Francine. Of course I had to tell Muffy. My reputation was at stake.

[bangs with the gavel] That's all the evidence I need to hear. Guilty as charged!

Francine

[takes her to the locks in a jail cell with Brain] But it was just a joke... just a joke...just a joke...a joke...

[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.

Fern Walters

I'll get the cello. [Sings "Welcome to the Duloc" while playing the cello]

Fern, what do you think you're doing?! Stop, stop, stop!

Fern Walters

It was a noisy enough?

You are so loud! It almost music terrible!

Muffy Crosswire

???

[stomachache in rumbling] Oh, I don't feel well.

I think it's to go-- [Carl starts moaning in sick and coughing, then gasps] What's wrong with Carl?! That was horrible!

Carl, I'm right here. Are you sick? Lay down on the couch, Carl. [to George] Stay here, George. I'll be right back, I'll go getting thermometer.

Oops. I will stay here.

[groaning in sick] But I... [Carl coughing]

But, what's gonna happened to Carl?! What we gonna do now?

Uhhh... [sneezing]

[to Carl; she coming to Carl with the digital temperature] Here, Carl. [she puts a digital temperature in the Carl's open and closed mouth.] I'll put the thermometer in the mouth. Just keep under the tongue for a few seconds until it beeps. I'll make feel better tomorrow. [fade to black, then title card with machine]

(v.o.) "Oh, No! It Carl's Unwell When George". [?]

Fern Walters

Oh, George, did you this totally playground.

[he begans to singing a song "Home on the Range (song)" while playing and strumming the guitar as DW's cover the ears]

Wow, WD. That was beautiful song.

You did good job about to sing, WD.

Hey! WD, that's not even writing a song!

Fern Walters

Hold on, DW.

Fern Walters

It's time to go to... [sneezing]

[to Fern] Gesundheit.

Fern Walters

That's totally sneeze.
