Based on a True Story, Part Two Arthur

# Every day when you're walkin' 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 The rhythm of the street

# Open up your eyes! Open up your ears!

# 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!

-Whoa!

I think we should give her a second chance.

Why, so she can lie to us again like she did yesterday?

It was just one lie.

You don't know that, she might have been lying all along.

I opened my heart to that girl. I taught her how to accessorise.

It just seems like we're being kind of harsh.

I'm going to go sit with her.

Me, too. Who hasn't told one or two lies before?

Huh, or in your case one or 200.

See, I just lied again, it can't be helped.

-Anyone sitting here?

-Huh? No, sit down. Want my fruit salad?

I got two of them because I thought there were cherries in them

but they weren't cherries, they were grapes

and I can't eat grapes ever since General Higgins almost choked on one.

See Bud and I were having this picnic...

It's OK, you don't have to give us your fruit salad.

Also, you don't have to tell us any stories.

Not that they aren't great stories.

But we like you a lot even without them. Just be yourself.

-OK, thanks, guys. It was getting pretty lonely over here.

-No problem.

On second thought, I think I will have that fruit salad.

And then the Princess said she wished her prince was still a toad.

Do you take sugar in your tea, Mr Compson?

I would, but I don't have any tea.

It's pretend.

Can I pretend it's tomato soup instead?

THEY SIGH

Then no sugar please, but I will take a bigger spoon and crackers

if you have them.

Bud! We're playing tea, not lunch.

Well, why can't we play lunch?

Because I have a toy tea set. That's what you do with it.

You put pretend tea in the toy teapot.

You could put anything in that pot.

See? I just put mac and cheese in it.

Oh, I'll have some.

No! We're not playing lunch!

This is my teapot and I don't want mac and cheese in it.

That DW doesn't like me.

Oh, Bud, don't say that.

-Everyone likes you. You're so talented.

-Not to her.

She didn't like my animal sounds or my magic tricks

and I don't play tea right.

There must be something out there that will impress her.

Have you tried clapping?

Clapping's not impressive. Anyone can do that.

HE STRAINS

I can't.

I could tell her jokes. I'm great at telling jokes.

What's pink and fluffy?

What?

Pink fluff.

Ha, ha, ho, ho, pink fluff!

Oh, Bud, that's just, that's...

I don't get it.

-I'm going exploring. Anyone want to come?

-I'm practising my jokes.

Ladonna, take your hat.

But it's itchy. Not to mention ugly.

Young lady, your aunt Bo bought you this hat so you would not get sick

because she loves you very much and it is not ugly, it is bold.

OK, OK, I'm wearing the hat.

Uh! No wonder aunt Bo's going bald.

BIRD CALLS

Oh, missed it!

Huh? Where did my...?

Hey! That's mine!

Waaah!

Thief! Come back with my hat!

Whoa.

Property of Art Radley.

My husband's watch. Thank you. Here's a reward.

Four measly quarters! For a watch that was lost for seven years?

Huh? I don't believe it.

So, even though I didn't like that kind of hat because it was itchy

and bold as my momma would say, I had to buy it. And guess what.

I had the exact right amount of change in my pocket.

-Isn't that amazing?

-It's amazing all right.

I'd even call it unbelievable.

-But...

-Ladonna that's the same hat you were wearing last week.

Believe me, I'd never forget it.

No it isn't. It just looks the same.

My other hat had a moth hole as big as a quarter right here.

You talked us into giving her a second chance and we did.

Are you satisfied now? Come on.

You believe me, right, Buster?

Sorry, if you had said an alien stole your hat I might have,

but a raccoon?

Raccoons don't need hats, they have fur.

I told you, you didn't have to make up these stories.

I didn't make it up, it's true, I swear. Look, I'll prove it to you.

Meet me after school.

What do you get when you cross a rhino and a doggie?

A very frightened mail carrier.

-Oh!

-Come on, that was funny.

My mum laughed so hard she got the hiccups.

Can you just help me build this snowman, please?

-OK, where's the carrot?

-I ate it.

-What? That was his nose!

It didn't look like a nose. It looked like a carrot.

Well what are we going to use now?

That looks terrible!

Don't make fun of his nose! She didn't mean it.

THEY LAUGH

-Hey!

-Bud, no, wait, you don't understand. Those are Tibbles.

You put his head back on right now!

Oh, yeah? Who's going to make me?

I will.

By giving you the Bud Compson Power Stare.

Did you hear that, Tommy? He's going to stare at us.

Ooh, I'm so afraid(!)

THEY LAUGH

-That is kind of strange looking.

-Doesn't he have to blink?

-Blink, blink already.

-I feel cold.

-Let's get out of here.

How did you do that?

I've been having staring contests with my brothers and sisters

since I was two.

I never lose.

Bud Compson, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

DOORBELL RINGS

Why isn't she home?

Maybe she's getting her hair dyed?

-We'll go to that thrift store. I bet they have some more hats.

-Awww.

-That store clerk didn't even remember me.

-So?

He didn't remember me either and I've been in that store

lots of times.

There's still one more place we can go.

Ladonna, you really don't have to.

Come on, we have to get there before it gets dark.

Oh.

I think I fell around here. I think.

And the raccoon was right over there. Or maybe it was over there.

It all looks the same now.

BIRD CALLS The eagle!

I guess I won't be able to prove I was telling the truth.

You don't have to. I believe you.

Why would do go to all this trouble if you were lying?

You know, my Aunt Bo has blue hair too

and the longest fingernails of anyone I ever met.

She says she uses them to play the harp, but I've never seen a harp...

Ladonna! Look!

The raccoon was wearing the hat!

And when he saw us he ran like the wind.

But luckily the hat fell off. See?

Here's the moth hole I was telling you all about. Here.

For you. Don't worry. I washed all the raccoon smell out of it.

Thanks.

Sorry I didn't believe you.

-Actually, I kind of like it.

-You would!

Thank you so much for not giving it to me. You really are a good friend.

See? Everything I said was going to be in that story was in it.

There was adventure, jokes, alligators, dinosaurs.

OK, but it was just a toy dinosaur.

Details, details.

-I still get to wrap up the show.

-Not if I do it first.

Hey!

Show's over. Goodbye, everybody.

Did I ever tell you about the time my uncle Whitney

-made a jet-pack out of a can of pop?

-Ladonna!

All right, all right, I'm coming. The end.
