The next morning, Arthur and Buster arrive at school
[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?!
[withholds to listen to Arthur's story] Well, no. I didn't believe it. You've hit your sister? That was horrible.
They pass Binky, with Rattles, and the Tough Customers
Come on, like you never did hit anyone.
[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!
DBDog Boy
[asks how Binky had been shocked, giving his difficult report] How come you'd be shocked about somebody hitting somebody?
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]
The Tough Customers cornered Binky at his locker
DBDog Boy
Binky doesn't have to remind us for his past glorious fights.
DBDog Boy
And this is why that he's not afraid of no one is a well-established factoid.
DBDog Boy
And he can prove it easily by socking the very next kid who turns around this corner!
Yeah, that's right. [shocked] Wait, what?!
Arthur comes around the corner
Go ahead, Binky. Just sock him.
Arthur passes by
[tirelessly] Maybe I didn't feel like it.
[severely] WELL, YOU BETTER FEEL LIKE IT OR YOU'LL MOVE OUT OF THE CLUB IN NO TIME!
[fuming, and protests] But I can't be out of the club! That's my club! And I founded it!
Well, if you needed anything on your own way, you shouldn't have let anyone else join! But the next time when you see that kid, you'll sock him!
The other Tough Customers left Binky behind
[getting concerned] The next time when I see Arthur, I'll just have to hit him. Oh. But what should I do now? [gets an idea] Wait. What if I never see him?
The school bell rings and the kids leave the building
[holds an open book around his head] I made it through one whole day. Now only... the rest of my life to go.
Binky, Molly, Rattles and the Dog Boy walk past the Sugar Bowl
So I never saw that glasses kid again. I probably never will.
[runs after them. Binky looked very surprised to Arthur running towards him, Rattles, and the Tough Customers, implying that Binky's scheme of avoiding Arthur backfired] Hey, Binky! You dropped your pen when you walk out of school, kind of sideways, at the end of the day.
[whispering] Now, here's the chance you have been waiting for.
DBDog Boy
[whispering] Show her, Binky. Just tap, and pop him one.
[Binky looks around at the Tough Customers who grin expectantly, and gulps, then sinisterly looks at Arthur, who holds the pen, and "pops him one" by hits him on his arm]
All right, you're right. He will hit anyone.
DBDog Boy
OK, Binky. You're still in your club. Binky? Where are you going?! Wait! Binky!
Binky rushes, and runs off in discomfort, when the Tough Customers rushed after him
[holds his arm in pain] Ow!
All right, maybe you're right. He's gonna hit anyone.
After Arthur gets a taste of his own medicine, the scene pans to the kitchen. That is, where Arthur is getting his injury treated.
Later that evening, Arthur sits beside the kitchen sink, and his father hands him and ice pack.
[holds the ice pack on his arm] And the next thing I knew, I was on the ground. It hurt, and it was so embarrassing, and...
D.W. and her mother come in.
Well, maybe this is how D.W. felt when you punched her.
As a result, the incident makes Arthur understand how D.W must have felt.
Well, yeah. But what's it got to do with this? Binky Barnes was huge!
Mrs. Read carries D.W. to the kitchen, and his parents just looked to them
[calmly] Yeah, I guess I kind of get it now.
[walks into the dining room where D.W. is waiting] I'm sorry for hitting you.
And I'm sorry for shattering your plane. But what kind of a weak plane doesn't fly?
Well, I didn't even know yet. But I'm just a little child. Just give me a break.
The next day, at the park, Binky sits on a swing looking worried. Arthur rides by on his bike
Hey, Arthur. I feel really rotten earlier. I just wanted to apologize.
I just wanna say thank you.
Well, everyone had told me that I was wrong, when I didn't get it. [feels his balls] But... you made me understand how bad I made D.W. feel.
Well, you're very welcome. But I didn't try to help you learn some boring lessons. But it was just an accident.
The other Tough Customers come
DBDog Boy
[points to Arthur] Hey, it's the kid, again, who got hit by Binky, and now lived with him.
Now you've deserved to be in his club, kid.
[walks to Tough Customers] Actually, there was no club. But I founded it earlier, and now I'm de-founding it. Because any club that makes you wanna do something you don't wanna do was so dumb. Anyone else wanna make something of it?
Come on, Arthur. Let's go get a soda.
Oh, man. Now he's got no club. Hmm.
[walks up to them] Do you guys wanna come with us? How about if we just form a new club with no dumb hitting, and all this stuff? And because if anyone does break the rules, I will clobber them.
