Arthur the Wrecker/Arthur and the True Francine Arthur

# Every day you walk down the street Everybody that you meet

# Has an original point of view

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

# What a wonderful kind of day We can learn to work and play

# And get along with each other

# You gotta listen to your heart Listen to the beat

# Listen to the rhythm of the street

# Get together and make things better By working together

# It's a simple message And it comes from the heart

# Believe in yourself For that's the place to start

-# And I say, hey!

-Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

# We can learn to work and play And get along with each other

# What a wonderful kind of day - hey! What a wonderful kind of day - HEY! #

-Hey, DW!

-Hey...

Oh...

If you examine history, you'd find kids like me did important things.

Tut! Tut! I asked you not to play too close to our new sphinx.

I'll be careful, Papa Pharaoh.

Eh... Oops!

There were kids like me in Ancient Greece too.

I don't like it.

Arthureus! I asked you not to play with your discus in my work area!

-I'm sorry, Fathureus.

-It's beautiful! I'll take it.

I bet there were kids like me in colonial days.

All of these became more valuable because of an innocent kid.

-So this may be looked on as an historic event.

-YOU won't forget it.

Mum!

Arthur broke a window!

When we get home, will you play kitchen? Ow!

-What's "kitchen"?

-It's where I bring ingredients and you make cookies.

-I see. I have to work.

-The Brain loaned me Deep Dark Sea.

-Can I play it on your computer?

-After dinner.

After dinner? Why not now?

I have to work. It's tax season.

-So, Mum, can I play on your computer now?

-After you finish eating.

Done!

-Don't distract me, DW.

-I won't.

How do you play it?

You search the ocean. There's sharks and sunken stuff.

'Jellyfish are coming your way.'

-How do you win?

-Kids say there's this thing that you find.

You call a number and you win stuff. But you can't say what you found.

-Octopus!

-No, it's not an octopus.

-No, Arthur! Octopus!

You're distracting me. Go away.

Doesn't know what he's looking for!

Where's Arthur?

Arthur, it's late. You don't have to play 100 games.

-This is still my first game.

-Time for bed.

-I can't stop now!

-Play when you're more awake.

-You'll make mistakes.

-And start again?

I'd better save it right now.

I'll be awaiting your return to your mission.

There it is...the thing.

-Then I go around the sharks to the sunken hull.

-What are you doing?

I was thinking about the game.

KNOCK ON DOOR

-Where is it? Are you playing it?

-Not yet.

-Last night, I got all the way to the sunken hull.

-Wow!

-What's that?

-A haunted ship.

-I saved the game so we can start from there.

-Maybe we'll find the...

-Oh, no!

-Sorry, boys. I have to work on the computer today.

-But it's Saturday. It's your day off.

-Not when it's...

-Tax season.

Now there's nothing to do.

Why don't you boys ride to the park?

-Yeah, that sounds fun(!)

-Yeah, fun(!)

-Honey, I have to go to the office.

-Can we use your computer?

-I need it.

-Couldn't you just show it to me for one second?

-I guess.

Mum wouldn't even know.

Arthur, what are you doing? Mum told you not to play.

I'm just showing it to Buster. Go away.

-If I go away, I'll tell Daddy. I want to watch.

-OK. But be quiet.

- The Brain didn't get this far. - What's that?

-I don't know.

-Maybe it's the thing!

-A treasure chest.

-I bet that's it. The thing!

I think I won! We've got to open it.

-You wrecked it.

-YOU knocked it off the desk.

-YOU pushed my arm.

Try turning it off and on again.

You killed it! Mum will lose her job and we'll be on the streets...

-DW, be quiet. I'm thinking.

-It's your fault so fix it!

I like living here!

Don't do that! You'll make it worse!

-Call your mum.

-I can't. She said not to play with it and I wrecked it.

-We must fix it before she gets home.

-Maybe a rich family will adopt me.

-Who knows how to fix a computer?

-The Brain!

Sorry, boys, he's not home, but I got a hunch where you might find him.

Huh?

-If I were Brain, where would I go?

-Somewhere brainy.

What other brainy places are there for the Brain to go? ..Hi.

We looked everywhere for you.

-Are you doing a physics experiment?

-No, I'm skipping rocks. It's fun.

-Wouldn't fixing a computer be more fun?

-Yeah, sure!

-You know what the problem is?

-No.

-Neither do I.

I'm dead. I've always wanted to live in Australia.

Doomed! My childhood happiness is behind me.

-Gotta go, Arthur.

-Yeah. Nice knowing you.

Hello, boys.

I won't need my computer till after dinner so you can go and play.

Er...no...no, thanks.

-Are you sick?

-I'm going up to pack...er, do my homework.

What do you think she'll do to me?

Bad Arthur. Bad boy.

Arthur, dinner's ready!

I hope you enjoy your dinner. This could be the last meal we ever eat.

-Arthur, you hardly ate any dinner.

-Maybe you should go to bed.

-Don't you want dessert?

-No, I have to work.

-Why don't we have a game of catch?

-When I have less work.

Mum! When was the last time we rode bikes together?

After tax season, we'll play.

-Mum!

-Please, I have to work!

-You can't. I wrecked your computer.

-How?

-You didn't play on it?

-Buster wanted to see it and you were gone and...

-I'm sorry.

-I don't want to live on the street!

Let's see what's wrong. ..This happens all the time.

Did you jiggle the switch?

We're not going to starve!

-You could have asked me for help.

-I thought you'd be mad.

Not mad - disappointed. You're not playing on it for a week. Fair?

How DO you play this game?

-Goodnight, Dad!

-Goodnight, Arthur!

Goodnight, Mum! Mum? Mum?!

Just a minute. (I almost had the treasure chest opened.

(Snakes are attacking! I'm surrounded! Get back!)

Pal, shoosh.

-Yuck!

-DOG BARKS

See? There's nothing there.

-I did it!

-No way! Let me see.

-Your turn, Muffy. Truth or dare.

-Truth.

-Have you ever told a lie?

What kind of question is that? Me? Not once in my whole life.

Not once in the whole history of my life.

If you only knew how Crosswires feel about lying, about our principles.

-Muffy!

-What?

-Aren't you forgetting when you first came to our school?

Here he comes!

I'm glad to see you haven't forgotten Friday's math test.

But I'd like you to meet our newest student - Muffy Crosswire.

Muffy, these are your classmates.

-Perhaps you'd like to say a few words about yourself.

-Yes, I would.

James, are you all set? Hit it.

75 years ago, a man came here with a dream. He was my great-grandfather.

Eggsald E Crosswire.

And so from humble beginnings to unprecedented glory, the empire grew.

-An inspiration to all.

-Thank you. I'd like you to turn to...

-Part II.

-I am born.

-Perhaps another time. You may take your seat.

- Who invited HER? - Francine.

So when the ball reaches here, you kick it.

-And then run around the bases.

-Why?

-That's how you play.

Aren't there horses or prizes?

- At my old school... - You're not there now, smarty pants!

-Miss Mary Alice smarty pants to you.

-Your middle name's Alice? So's mine!

-No! How do you spell it?

-A-L-I-C-E.

-Me too!

Are you guys playing or not?

Huh? Hmm!

Oh...girls!

-I've never had a best friend before.

-Me neither.

-These are my treasures.

-I've been everywhere in the world.

-I've been to my grandmother's...

I got this from a cannibal in Antarctica.

-It's beautiful.

-You can have it.

I have another one. Would you like to visit my zoo or swim in my bath tub?

-Look what I found!

-We should study for our math test.

I don't need to study. At my old school, I TAUGHT math.

-Really?

-Yeah, and addition, and that thing when you take something away.

-Huh?

-You have one number that's bigger and it gets smaller.

-Subtraction.

-Right. That's what I taught.

-Let's go do some wheelies.

-I didn't bring my bike.

-Bikes?

Ready? OK, James. Hit it!

-You like this new girl, huh?

-Yeah. Just give her a chance.

The librarian said we could watch videos if we were quiet.

- All right! - Buster, Ssh!

-We have to study, Muffy. The test's tomorrow.

-I know it backwards.

- You coming, Buster? - Sure.

You should study.

2 + 2 =... Oh, no!

All right. 40 questions. Starting...

..now!

This looks excellent, Muffy. You've obviously been studying.

May I see the two of you?

As you can see, these tests are the same.

Don't look at me! I'd never cheat!

-Not ever...

-Francine? Can you explain this?

-No!

-I just...

-One thing I won't tolerate...

I'm just sharpening my pencil.

..is cheating. Francine, stay behind after school for the next week.

-What? Me? But that's not fair!

-You may return to your seats.

Francine cheating? It's not possible.

She copies off me all the time.

How come she gets better grades?

-That's what I'd like to know!

-Are you forgetting something?

Francine can't play in the softball game against Mighty Mountain.

-And without Francine...

-We are doomed.

I hate to brag, but I've won a million softball games.

So I want you to know, you can count on me.

-Francine, do you want a ride?

-No, thank you.

I didn't mean to get you in trouble. I can't let people think I cheat.

-I'm a Crosswire.

-So

-I

-take the blame? That's why you pretended to like me?

How can you say that? I gave you my bracelet!

You're right. It meant we were friends.

Did you ask Mr Marco if Francine could play?

He said forget it.

At least we've got Muffy. See you outside, slugger.

SHE SNORES

-Muffy?

-Oh-oh!

So that makes Mighty Mountain 12, Lakewood Elementary 0.

-It's up to you, Muffy.

-I can't play till this is vacuumed.

Quit stalling. We need a hit and we need it now.

- What are you doing?! - This is how we always played.

-Is the princess ready?

-Just wait till you see...how good she is...

You're supposed to warn me!

Strike 2!

You said you could play!

-We'll never live it down.

-Francine's the only one who can hit it.

I have an idea.

-You're up, Francine. They really need you out there.

-I can't play!

-You can. I told Mr Marco the truth about who cheated.

-You did?

-Yeah.

I'm being punished for two weeks.

-Yippee!

-Francine, I know you're mad at me, but I want you to have this.

- Strike 1! - Call that a pitch?!

ALL: Francine! Francine! Francine! Francine! Francine!

-BELL RINGS

-Wanna ride in the basket?

-Did you win the game?

-No, but I scored 2 runs. We decided something.

We want you to play with us. You can be score-keeper. You have to add.

-And there's one more thing.

-What's that?

-No cheating!
