Binky vs Binky 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 Open your eyes! Open your ears!

# Get together, 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!

Whoa-oa!

Hey, ever hear of knocking?!

OK, now I'm ready.

Everybody has something that they're really proud of.

For Brain, it's his collection of blues records.

And this is the only recording ever

of the great trombonist, Sad Shoehead Wilson.

It's so rare, I won't even dust it.

That could be the fingerprint of Shoehead himself.

Ah...ah...ah-tcho!

For Buster, it's a piece of pizza crust!

They called her the White Wonder,

five feet from crust to crust

and loaded with 10 pounds of mozzarella and ricotta.

They said it couldn't be eaten by one person.

They were wrong.

Pretty strange things to be proud of, right?

Well, you want to know what I'm proud of?

This shirt.

WHISTLE BLOWS

OK, you guys, we're down by one with three minutes to go.

We've got to get past the defence.

The only way we're getting past those guys is with a bettering ram.

Or a bulldozer.

Or...

Huh?

But I can't do that. I only play defence.

All you have to do is run in front of me.

WHISTLE BLOWS

Ah!

Well, what are you waiting for?

Everyone's watching you.

- Shoot! - It's wide open!

< Shoot!

You heard them. Shoot already.

All right, all right!

Don't rush me.

Whatever you do, don't miss!

The whole game depends on this shot!

-What's he doing?

-He looks like a flamingo.

Kick it! Kick it!

Not towards me, you...!

WHISTLE BLOWS

You said, "Kick it!" so I kicked it.

I meant into the goal. It was a perfect shot!

Yeah, until you confused me.

Next time, keep your big mouth shut.

I just don't get it.

How could Binky not take that shot?

Maybe he fell asleep.

During a soccer game, standing on one leg?

It could happen. I've fallen asleep in plenty of strange places.

Maybe Binky cracked under pressure.

Like last season, in Little League, remember?

'In practice, Binky would get home run after home run.

'But during an actual game...'

Strike one.

Strike two.

Strike three - and you're out!

Remember the swim team?

Binky was a veritable aquatic mammal when we were learning strokes.

But when it came time for a swim meet...

Oh-h!

I think you guys are right.

Binky would be a great competitor if he could only compete!

SNORING

Buster! Come on!

Huh? What did I miss?

What's that?

Don't you recognise it? It's your swimming trophy.

I found in the hall closet.

What it was doing there, I can't imagine.

-Don't put it up there.

-Why not?

Because it's not a real trophy.

Of course it is!

See? It says, "Binky Barnes, excellence in participation."

That just means I came in last place.

Binky, you are an excellent swimmer and you know it.

Can I help it if I'm proud of you?

There. Now, don't you think that looks nice up there?

Binky?

No... No!

This is for completing nursery school!

This one is for being able to skip.

Oh, and isn't this one beautiful?

It's for the Elwood County potato sack race.

Binky wasn't actually in the race, but he was quite close to it.

So they gave him this potato!

Mom, what are you doing?

Just showing your friends some of your awards, sweetie.

Argh!

Oh, here's my favourite! The Just Being Binky award!

I bet none of you have one of these.

Who would want one?

THEY LAUGH

Argh!

That does it.

I'm getting rid of you for good.

Oh!

Who would do such a thing?

Hey, Mr Frensky.

Huh?

Oh...eh...

Binky, I can't believe how quickly you made it up that hill!

Huh? Oh, yeah. I like hills.

You like hills?!

I wish I did!

I've started biking to work to lose a few pounds.

But that hill is a killer! I always have to walk the last bit.

You just pedal hard before the hill

and change gears at the right moment.

Huh, I wonder if that's what Vance Legstrong does?

Who's that?

You've never heard of Vance Legstrong?

He's probably the best bicyclist in the whole history of the sport.

I didn't even know biking was a sport.

It sure is. And you'd be a natural at it.

Really?

Sure. There's a great bike course at World's End Park.

You can try different loops and keep track of your times. Give it a try.

I will.

So, what brings you to the dump today?

Um...

our trash is full.

Is that Vance Legstrong?

Yeah. Did you know he's won that Loop D'Italia four times?

That's a record.

Are you thinking of taking up cycling?

Um...

I don't know. Maybe.

Well, I'm sure you'll be wonderful at it.

You'll be wonderful at it, all right, until you're in a race!

-And then...

-I'm not gonna be in any races.

So just can it!

Ah-h...

"Keep track of your time and distance with our free course card."

-See you later, Mom.

-Oh, where are you off to?

Nowhere special, just riding around.

How did it go today, Binky?

Best time yet, Mr Frensky.

I can see you're gonna be some tough competition in that race on Saturday.

Race? What race?

The annual Sports For Regular Folks road challenge. Here.

Take a form.

Dad, maybe he doesn't want to enter the race!

-Sorry, Binky, he doesn't know.

-I don't know what?

Yeah, what doesn't he know?

That...well...you don't like competition.

Who told you I don't like competition? I love competition!

Give me that.

If only I could do that when someone was watching!

You know, you really ought to enter that race.

Why? So everyone can see me lose?

No. Because you'll have a lot of fun.

Yeah, until everyone sees me lose.

There's only one person you should be competing against.

-Who?

-Yourself. Ignore everyone else and try to do your best.

Easy for you to say. You're the best cyclist in the world.

How do you think I got to be the best cyclist in the world?

Binky! You signed up for the race! That's great!

Well, I'm not really officially in the race.

I just thought I'd bike along with the rest of you.

STARTING GUN

It's Binky. He's in the lead!

He's beating everyone!

Go Binky! You can do it!

Stay awake, Binky!

I don't believe it! I'm winning! Whoopee!

Argh!

Wa-ah!

-Oh, no, he crashed!

-Is he all right?

Yes, but I think he's out of the race.

I knew this would happen!

Remember who you're competing against, Binky.

Not those people up there. That guy right behind you.

Phwrrt!

Loser!

My poor Binkums! Are you OK? I saw you fall and...

I'm fine, Mom.

-In fact, I feel great.

-Binky!

I've never seen anything like that before.

-I know. I was winning and I blew it. Why do you have to rub it in?

That's not what I meant. You were incredible.

You finished the race after crashing and didn't even come in last. Look.

-Well, it's not like I won or anything.

-Not the whole race.

But you won the hill portion. You missed the presentation.

There's an award just for doing hills?

Sure. You get the Polka-Dot Hill-Climbing Jersey.

Vance used to win these all the time.

So this shirt may be funny to look at, but it feels great to wear.

Bye!

Oh, and remember to knock next time.
