Arthur · Season 1
[to D.W.; the glass music noise] Stop that! You'll break something.
Whatever.
That's enough back talk, young man. You can forget about going to that concert tonight.
What?! You can't do that!
I can, and I have.
(bleep)
[gasps then drops the cup and smashes it as D.W. laughingly]
Come on, D.W., I'm done.
Okay. [takes a deep breath] (bleep) [Jane, David, Arthur gasping in smashed]
(cooes)
AAH!!
Oh, no!
Whoops!
Dora Winifred Read, what did you just say to me?!
Uh... Can I have a soda? Tibbles!
What are you doing?!
Uh, Arthur did it?
Well, D.W., you're off the hook this time, because you didn't know what you were saying. But I hope you know now that swear words are not appropriate, especially for 5-year-old children.
Why?
Because most people are offended by them. It's as simple as that.
But why? What do they mean?
I guess you could say they mean "I want to hurt your feelings". Good night, D.W.
Why didn't somebody tell me that in the first place?
I’m sorry, Alan, you can’t comin' here. We have only before the helped.
But I’m hungry.
And then... then... [roars like a Shrek green ogre, the chokes]
What was that?!
Arthur (Sighs): Will you just get off my back?!
Why are you angry at us?! We're the ones who've been supporting you.
Yeah! There are lots of other average kids we could have picked for this.
Well, thanks for your help, but I think it's better if I just do this on my own. [He leaves. Francine and Muffy exchange looks.]
What are you guys doing?!
Why do you ask? Because you're angry?
Angry!
I'm not angry!
Well, what would you call it?
Angry.
Please don't hurt me!
And stop passing these out! I told you yesterday, I don't want any more pep rallies!
Don't worry, Mr. Hyde, it's not for you!
"A is for angry. B is for brains. Pep rally for Brain before the game"? I thought you said he was conceited?!
Wow, angry and mean! I think you need to chill out!
Why are you doing this? Is it because I asked you guys to leave me alone yesterday?
If you call what you did asking. Brain may seem conceited, but at least he's nice.
We just care about the integrity of checkers. [Arthur roars angrily like a Shrek and the kids run away]
Hey, man, I wanna congratulate you. It took me years to get scary. You did it overnight!
Oh no! The Burlap Brothers have sealed us in. I’ve nuttin’ to do now but sing and bide our time. (strums the guitar) And there we were stuck in a mine, just a matter of time before we’re cryin. (Yodels)
[takes his guitar away] Quit your croonin', Kid! We gotta get out of here! We have no food, no water; we could even run out of air! (gasps for breath)
Shoo, shoo, out of the house, back to the trees!
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!
It was a noisy enough?
You are so loud! It almost music terrible!
???
3,600 liters a day? What happens if the number just keeps rising? (It cuts to Francine, singing in the shower.) Not the 10:05 but the midnight train!? (She uses a brush to pound on the shower.)
(offscreen) You've done it now, Francine. You just used all the water in Elwood City.
(She's gasping.) Oh, no! But Muffy's birthday pool party was today. (It cut to Francine outside, running down, panting.)
Spare any water, sir?
Ready for your "listening ears" operation?
Um, I'm not sure.
We'd better check her bravery levels first. Lie down in the Brave-O-Scope, D.W.
[they lie D.W. down on a conveyor belt, checking D.W. on the screen]
Oh, my!
[off screen] What? What's wrong?
I've never seen anything like it!
She has no bravery at all, not a single speck!
[gasps] Poor D.W.! She'll probably never be able to swim without water wings!
[?] "Legend has it that a girl on the very first Crown City Star lost her ticket. [The conductor closed the slider door and locks Betsy in the compartment with the key and leaved.] Having no money, she wasn't allowed to get off the train." [Images of the various decades from the 1930s to the 2000s are shown. People dressed in the clothes of the period ride on the train. Nobody notices Betsy the ghost.] "They say she's been wandering the aisles all these years, searching for another girl to take her place."
Cut! D.W, you ruined the shot! Now we have to start all over!
[offscreen, calls Francine] Hey squirt, come here! [Francine stands up off of the sofa and walks to her and Catherine's room] I was online and found some stuff you might want to use for your paper.
Oh, thanks, but I finished it already. [looks at the printed article in surprise] Hey, this is my paper!
You mean, you already used some of this information?
I used the whole thing. It was perfect for the topic. So I cut and pasted it into a new document and added a title.
[disappointed] Francine, you can’t do that!
Why not?
Because that’s plagiarism, that's why.
No, it isn't. It's called finishing your work early, so you can enjoy Thanksgiving. [worried] What's "plagiarism"?
[picks up the printed article] It's when you take someone else's work and claim it's your own. It's basically stealing.
But I already handed it in. So, you think I can get an "F"?
Worse! You could be suspended.
Huh?
[offscreen, from the kitchen] Kids! Dinner's ready!
[whispers] You have to tell Ratburn!
[gasps] My nail!
