The rest of the episode takes place about year earlier. Arthur has no glasses and his friends are in Mr. Marco's class
Mr. MarcoThis quiz is to be completed in class. No talking! [writes math problems on the blackboard.]
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.
[has all questions right, but Arthur has them all wrong] I guess math's not your best subject.
Yeah, sometimes Francine gives me a headache too.
(Offended, putting her head up with her eyes closed) Hmph.
[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.
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?
See, why didn't I need them?
See you in class! [walks on]
Arthur passes Mr. Marco who comes out of a door with 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]
I said, if I'm not batting cleanup, I'm not playing.
FMFrancine and Muffy
Aah!
AMArthur, Muffy, and Francine
What are you doing in here?!
This is the girls' room! Get outta here!
The door hits Arthur in the back as Sue Ellen, Jenna and Maria come in. The door is seen from the outside.
GGirls
Augh! It's a boy! Get him out!
(Everybody hears the screaming and wonders what it is.)
(The girls run out. Arthur slowly follows and finds everybody staring at him in disapproval.)
Augh! (he drops his lunch box) Uh-oh....
[meets Arthur in the hallway] Old four eyes wass back.
I know that. You're wearing glasses.
Binky? Do you know that Wilbur Rabbit wears glasses?
Yes, I saw that on TV last night.
Francine: I didn't see it.
Yeah, wasn't this great how they make him fly?
[In the classroom, Mr. Marco is writing math problems on the blackboard]
Do not ask me to read this problems to you! I have to concentrate.
[The kids are playing basketball in the gymnasium]
Watch out everyone, Arthur has got the ball!
[Arthur shoots and makes it, everyone cheers. In the classroom Mr. Marco hands back quizzes]
Mr. Marco
Very good Arthur. All correct.
Arthur. How would you like to play on my basketball team today? [shows Arthur her fake plastic glasses] Don't you like them?
They're my movie star glasses. Do they make me look beautiful? Wilbur Rabbit wears glasses, you know.
And his are just like mine!
