Mrs. Barnes 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?!

Binky's pajamas don't exactly fit you, but they'll do.

My teeth are all brushed. I'm ready for bed!

Mrs. Barnes

Arthur's already in your room.

What?! [grunts] Um, good night!

Hey, what's that?

What?

In your hand.

There's nothing in my hand. [grunts] See?

The other hand. Behind your back.

What, this? It's a... my reading lamp. [plugs it in]

Hm. How do you read down there?

Like this. [puts a book on the floor and leans out of the bed]

Doesn't look very comfortable.

Hey, I don't read a lot, okay? Good night. [lies down]

Hey, you forgot to turn off the light.

Oh, yeah. [giggles]

Kind of scary.

Will you go to sleep?

Nooo!

What's happening?

Mrs. Barnes

[comes in] Oh, honey... You forgot to turn on your night-light. [plugs it in and leaves] There. Now you won't have any more nightmares.

I have nightmares if I don't turn the night-light on. Okay?

[yawns] Huh? [falls asleep]

So go to sleep.
