Love Notes for Muffy/DW Blows the Whistle 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 up you

# Get together and make things better By working togetherr eyes and ears

# 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...!

-THUMP

I call my project Rocks Near School.

These are rocks. I found them near the school. Thank you.

As you see, the plants grow really well with my vitamin mixture.

Did you know the average school taco has less protein than a shoe?

With my invention, chalk will become a thing of the past.

FANFARE PLAYS

Petit four? ALL: Oh, very nice!

What an outrage! She's gonna win just because she bribed the judges.

This is a science fair. Where's the science in French pastry?

-The laws of science don't apply to Muffy.

-There must be some justice!

-We can't let Muffy get away with this.

-What can we do?

We're going to get...REVENGE!

THUNDER

SHE HUMS

Too simple.

SHE SQUEALS

Too complicated.

Brain, you have to let this go or you'll become some crazy guy

living up in the school rafters, dropping chandeliers on people.

I must use all my brain capacity plotting revenge.

They haven't even announced who won yet. She might lose.

-Right(!)

-Sometimes, it's better to forgive and forget,

be noble, stuff like that.

The nutritional value of lunch? What MATTERS is preserving one's wardrobe.

What exactly did you have in mind?

"Dear Muffy, I have long admired you.

"Regardless of the difference in our ages..." That means he's older!

Why older? He could be younger.

Then he wouldn't know how to write.

Maybe he's a genius kindergartener.

Please...

"Regardless of the difference in our ages, I must make my feelings known."

You are so mature, so stylish. I think about you every day.

"Your smile, laugh, lack of concern that comes from extreme wealth,

"the way your clothes stay so crisp and the colours never fade.

"I hope that you return my feelings.

"Sincerely, your secret admirer."

Ah...

Maybe he's in the fifth grade.

Then he's gotta be nuts!

He obviously appreciates maturity and nice clothes.

-Let's watch the fifth graders and figure out who wrote it.

-I can't.

-I have cafeteria duty.

-Sue Ellen, come on!

Have you ever realised how frighteningly easy it is

-to manipulate someone into doing whatever you want?

-Brain...

you're acting kinda weird today.

Am I? LAUGHS MADLY

-Why did you and Brain write that note?

-Shh!

Not so loud. How did you know it was us?

Only the Brain could use "regardless" in a sentence correctly.

-What gave ME away? It must have been difficult.

-I saw you place the note.

Oh...

So Brain wrote her that note, now she's running around looking dopey.

-Isn't that funny?

-Not really.

Sue Ellen is trying to steal my secret admirer!

I had just narrowed down the number of possible secret admirers to 20

when their ball bounced over to us.

She kicked it back and they asked her to join the game.

So?

So my secret admirer's out there.

What if he's impressed by her show of brute strength?

I need answers! Fern, I'm hiring you as my private investigator.

Now, let's go to work.

And before Muffy Crosswire hired you,

you KNEW who wrote the note.

I deduced it was Brain and Francine.

I had to tell Muffy. My reputation was at stake.

That's all the evidence I need to hear. Guilty as charged.

But it was just a joke... just a joke...just a joke...

We're in trouble. Muffy hired Fern to find out who wrote the note.

-So? She'll never trace it to us.

-She already has.

She has no proof. I'm too clever to leave clues. Time for Phase 2 -

candy and/or flowers.

Here. Look.

What's wrong with you? We're in a big mess.

Well, what did you find out?

-Fern's telling Muffy. Let's confess right away.

-You're over-reacting.

Too many people have been over the scene. Any clues have been destroyed.

Hmm, some detective YOU are!

If I'd paid you, I'd ask for a refund.

My reputation's ruined thanks to you.

What a mess this note caused!

-I wish we'd never started this.

-The thrill of revenge seems short-lived.

Muffy, I'm sorry I allowed myself to get upset

-about the way you bribed the judges.

-I don't think so.

Muffy, I'm sorry. I can't let a huge injustice go unpunished.

Uh-h...

BOTH: Muffy! I have important news!

I found out who wrote the note and took some steps.

-What kind of steps?

-I wrote a note back saying that while he has taste,

a love between us can never be.

And I put it in his locker.

And just whose locker is that? He's right over there.

-You wrote a note to Mr Hainey?!

-No, silly!

Rattles.

Poor thing. I know I'm breaking his heart.

This really IS a mess.

-Rattles will pulverise her if he reads that note.

-I warned you -

-we never should have tried to trick her.

-You...?!

-If only you hadn't written it!

-If only you hadn't put it on her desk!

Come on - what are we waiting for?

I can't see anything.

This is gum on this string. Drop it in, it sticks to the note, we pull.

Oh!

Let's try this coat hanger.

I've got something!

Uh-oh!

-What is that?

-Hold on tight. This is going to be bad.

Hey, what're you doing in my locker?

THEY STUTTER

-They're here because of me.

-Oh, yeah?

-It's all my fault.

-And mine.

We wrote Muffy a note she thought was from you and she wrote back,

and now it's in your locker, but you shouldn't read it.

The looks on your faces!

They DID think you put a note in my locker.

Oh, brother!

-You knew we wrote the note?

-No, but I knew Fern would know who did it.

I followed her and listened to her, then asked Rattles for a favour.

Overall, a very satisfying day.

BELL RINGS

Muffy, we're really sorry we wrote the note.

I can understand why you did it. You do?

You were upset that I'm better than you in science.

You may win contests, but you're not better at science.

It's time to announce the winners for the best science fair display.

The judges voted for the display that was, well, one of the tastiest.

Excuse me, Mr Ratburn.

-Yes, Muffy.

-Well, I have been thinking...

That's new.

The Brain's project was more scientific than mine.

HE deserves the award.

-CLASS GASPS

-Well, that's very noble.

I guess she's not so bad after all. I feel like a rat.

But you DIDN'T win the contest.

MORE GASPS

The winner of the award for the best entry is Francine Fransky

for her analysis of bad lunches versus school meals.

Maybe you just need to learn to cook.

-SIREN WAILS

-Huh?

No signals, licence plate number not visible and big, distracting numbers.

But this is a race course!

And obstructing justice!

I never knew your sister was so strict.

She can get carried away.

-Oh!

-Uh-oh, DW!

And don't forget the ABCs of safety...

All right, if everyone would line up,

Officer Safety has something special for each of you.

With this safety whistle,

I hearby deputise each of you as junior safety officers.

FANFARE

I hearby dub you...

Princess of Safety.

CHEERING

To assist you, great princess, we present you with your very own...

-safety pony!

-NEIGHS

Remember, safety is everyone's responsibility.

Don't worry, Officer Safety. You can count on me.

Mom, can I take my safety whistle when we go see Mary Moo Cow On Ice?

Sure. As long as you don't blow it.

PEEP!

-That boy isn't crossing at the intersection.

-Matthew!

Oh, my goodness! Oh, my! Thank you so much for blowing that whistle.

You may have saved his life.

DW?

A hero? ..OW! Agh!

Ouch!

I'm a junior safety officer now.

-How's the car coming?

-Almost done.

It's been designed for maximum speed

and calibrated for low wind resistance and surface friction.

Call that a car? It's a pile of junk!

-Who asked you?

-Arthur, DW, please!

PEEP!

Mom, that car's not safe!

-It doesn't have any seat belts.

-What?

I hate to say it, Arthur, but DW has a point.

-It would be safer with seat belts.

-But we're almost done!

The design could benefit from a biomechanical restraint system.

Better safe than sorry, that's what I say.

Gotta go. I'm heading out on patrol.

Oh, no, look at all those bubbles!

Agh-h-h-h... Glug!

Glug-glug.

PEEP! Mom, Dad's cooking on a hot stove!

He could get burned.

PEEP! Dad, Mom's reading a magazine without gloves on!

-She could get a paper cut.

-Oh...

PEEP! Arthur, Pal went downstairs without holding the handrail.

How can Pal use the handrail? He doesn't have hands!

-PEEP!

-Hey!

Dad, Arthur's taking a bath without using a personal flotation device.

ALL: DW!

DW's turning into a safety monster.

Yeah, yesterday she told me long hair is a safety hazard.

I got in trouble just for saying hi,

said I shouldn't talk to strangers.

-I want to catch HER doing something wrong.

-We could follow her around.

-She might do something unsafe.

-Then we can blow the whistle on HER!

She's coming out the front door.

Wait a minute - I think her shoe's unbuckled.

Never mind. She noticed.

She's coming your way, Francine.

-We got her on visual.

-She's skipping on the sidewalk without a helmet.

-You do that all the time.

-That's true. ..Look out!

-Brain, she's coming towards you.

-I see her.

This could be it. She's coming to an intersection. Stand by.

-What is she doing?

-Looks like she's stopping

She's coming towards you, Arthur.

Agh!

I see her. Guys, this might be it. Bring your whistles.

This could be dangerous.

Yeugh!

Hello, DW. Come on in.

Nice hat, Arthur. It brings out your eyes.

DW has turned into the safest person in Elwood City!

-At least she won't be at the Ratburn Rally tomorrow.

-That would be awful.

On your mark, get set...

PEEP-PEEP! Stop the race!

This rally is way too dangerous. Remain calm

and nobody will get hurt.

All right, you can go ahead now.

POP...

This is my kind of race!

You two, slow down!

Don't worry. She won't be there.

PEEP!

-What, you want me to take DW to the race?

-We'll meet you there.

-We'll drop Kate at Grandma Thora's first.

-Can't you get a baby-sitter?

-She'll blow her whistle at everyone!

-Am not!

Not unless someone's not being safe.

You have been getting carried away with your whistle.

I'm doing what Officer Safety said.

He didn't mean you to tattle.

He wants you to let people know when someone's doing something dangerous.

OK.

Good. ..Arthur, you take DW to the race. ..And DW, don't bother Arthur.

What is SHE doing here?

-She'll ruin everything!

-Mom and Dad made me bring her.

If I hear that whistle, she'll be a sorry little tattletale.

Wow, that hill's kinda steep!

Just go and sit down and stay out of our way.

You're not my boss! I can do whatever I want.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Ratburn Rally.

It looks like we have quite a few creative cars here.

So, without further ado, let the races begin!

Will the first two racers please approach the starting line?

I can't see! How can I tell if people are safe if I can't see?

Ahh!

Arthur! Help!

Arthur, look, it's your sister!

DW?

Help, I can't get down!

-Hang on, DW!

-I'll get Mr Ratburn.

Arthur, I'm scared.

Don't worry, we'll get you down. Muffy's gone for help. Hang on!

You're a talented climber. Let's get you down now.

CLAPPING AND CHEERING

DW, are you all right?

-You didn't by any chance drop this, did you?

-My whistle!

Be safe, now.

-Hey, what's all the commotion about?

-Some girl got stuck up in the tree.

-It was no big deal.

-I hope she's all right.

It was me.

I was the one in the tree. I knew I shouldn't have gone that high.

-But I did and I'm sorry.

-Oh, DW, are you OK?

-Why did you do something so dangerous?

-It was my fault, too.

-I told her to go away.

-You both know better. Thank goodness you're OK.

'Next up, Arthur and the Brain versus Muffy and Francine.'

Uh-oh, I'm up!

Arthur!

Thanks. I almost forgot.
