Arthur quotes

Want to hear a good joke? Knock-knock... [Pal grabs the hotdog and pulls her off her chair] Hey! The dog stole my wiener! The dog stole my wiener!

Arthur, tell Pal to let go!

Pal, let go! [Pal drags D.W. through the kitchen.]

It's mine It's mine!

Pal, sit! Heel! Stay! Lie down! Um... Roll over!! [Pal has got D.W.'s hot dog and as he runs around the kitchen, he pulls D.W. with him]

Give it back! I don't eat your dog food, do I?! [Pal pulls her under the table. Oof. They play tug-of-war.] Grr! I'll never let go! Never! Ow! [Pal pulls the hotdog out of the bun and she falls backwards, after Pal managed to get D.W.'s wiener and ate it] Someday, I'm gonna teach that dog a lesson he won't forget!

How do you make him sick?!

Hey, hey, hey!? Knock it off!!!! [Long pauses out; Arthur's gone] Where Arthur go?

Francine

[singing] It's raining, it's pouring

You're doing it all wrong!

I am not! I am not! I am not!

What's going on, you two?

Arthur's ruining the game! He's not playing right.

I am so! I roll the dice, I move around the board.

But you're supposed to be having fun. Look at the little boy on the box!

That little boy is not playing with you.

Arthur, is there another game you can play?

Yes. I'll go set it up.

Mom, Dad! I can't write a report that I played Confuse the Goose! Everyone will laugh at me.

Why don't you read a book to D.W.?

Yes, that should be quiet... eh, fun.

Mom and Dad said I don't have to play that. But I'll read to you.

Mom! Arthur said you said he didn't have to play with me!

Buster

I don't know what you can do, Arthur.

Everything around here is too boring to be in a report.

I'm ready! Hm-hm! Hm-hm! Hm-hm!

Just watch wrestling until the rain stops. How long can it rain for?

This system is very similar to a monsoon during which it rains nonstop for an entire month.

Arthur? Are you still here?

Like it would be so hard to play one game of Confuse the Goose with your adorable sister.

"Once upon a time..."

Let me guess. They lived happily ever after, right?

Right.

I knew it. Boring!

Everybody freeze!!

Arthur's trying to bite my nose.

Is that any way to treat a book?!

No. No, but she... She didn't want me reading to her!

Why don't you draw?

What did you draw?

A dog, and he's bored. What did you draw?

A stick.

A stick?

A stick from the park where you [furiously shouts] promised to take me today!!

I never promised you anything!

Did too!

Did not!

We're never gonna get anything done.

Did too!

Did not!

Ahem! Have fun at Grandma's. [smiles and closes the door]

It's raining! We'll die out here!

Come on! [pulls her away] If you'd behaved, we'd still be dry.

Me?! I didn't do anything. I'm the cute one! You're annoying.

Oh great! Now I get to write a really exciting report about visiting my grandma. "I went to my grandma's. She's nice. The end." I'm doomed!

DW, leave Pal alone.

You wanna know what's missing? You wanna know what's missing?!

Yes! [Their toothpick tower collapses] Aw, not again.

Hold it, young lady, the snowball doesn't belonged in the house.

Francine

We weren't there when Arthur did it!

I didn't do it!

Somebody did it. I want a confession. Confess! Confess!

Buster

I've reached a conclusion by discerning the truth from the eyewitness accounts. It's very simple. While we were busy, a space alien materialized. In a scientific search for samples of human food, he took the snowball and nothing else, because he left in a hurry.

Huh?! Now who left that freezer door open?

Buster

It's the only logical answer. That's why the plate is missing also.

Francine

That's crazy!

One of you took my snowball!

Francine

Why don't you just confess, Buster?

Yeah!

Buster

Me? Why don't you?!

Francine

It was probably Arthur.

Me? How could you think I would do something like that?

Whoever did it should just admit it. It's not nice to do this to a little girl.

I think you're all in on it. You're trying to break a child's heart. It's a conspiracy!

You know, someone's going to get their feelings hurt if everyone doesn't calm down.

Mr. Ratburn

The Great Wall of China is 1500 miles long. It was built over 2000 years ago and still stands today.

Wow.

Buster

[whispers] That's even older than the cafeteria hot dogs.

Mr. Ratburn

Ahem! He shows the next slide. The Appian Way was the chief highway from Rome to Greece. It was built in 312 B.C. It's still in use today. He switches the lights back on. We’re going to divide into teams to study and report on important ancient civilizations. The team to report on Rome: Arthur, Francine and Buster.

Great team!

Francine

Oh, boy!

Buster

Great!

Francine

Baby.

Buster

Arthur's right, Francine.

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.

Muffy

Rules, rules, rules. You're out! Get off my property, or I'm calling the police!
