Arthur Goes Crosswire/Sue Ellen and the Brainasaurus Arthur

# Every day when you're walking down the street

# Everybody that you meet

# Has an original point of view

-# And I say hey!

-Hey!

-What a wonderful kind of day

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

# You've got to listen to your heart

# Listen to the beat Listen to the rhythm of the street

# Open your eyes, open 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

-# If we can learn to work and play And get along with each other...

-Hey!

-# A wonderful kind of day...

-Hey!

-A wonderful kind of day...

-Hey! #

'Hey! DW!'

-Hey!

-Whoa!

Ever wonder why people change from one thing to another?

'Sometimes change can be... well, strange.

'Like Mrs McGrady's dessert experiment - eggplant gelatine.'

Vomit-rocious!

'Change can be an improvement.

'DW saw so many Kitty Korner videos, she started acting like a cat.'

Miaow!

DW, down!

'For one week, she did whatever I wanted.'

Look, DW, a mouse.

Hissssss!

But if somebody changes TOO much,

then it's time for drastic action.

I bet Mr Ratburn assigns another report today.

Yeah, he hasn't assigned one since...yesterday.

This report should be two pages on any animal of your choosing.

Where they live, what they eat, anything unusual.

The teams will be as follows.

Arthur Read and...

BELL RINGS

Maybe it won't be that bad.

Thank you, Daddy! You're wonderful!

Arthur, over here!

For the report, my father will take us whale-watching.

-You mean...?

-Arthur and I are going to spend time together on my yacht.

-Come on, Arthur.

-Whoa!

-See anything?

-No. You?

-Water.

-SHE SIGHS

Lots of water.

Bo-ring!

We didn't see a thing. We have to go again today. What am I gonna do?

-You can always say you're sick.

-Buster, you're a genius!

-Tell us everything, Arthur.

-Muffy's boat wasn't that fancy, was it?

-Huh?

-Was there a chandelier, fancy chocolates, ice sculptures?

I bet the yacht didn't have a pool.

Well, actually...it did.

-But...

-Really?

-Cool!

You are so lucky. I'd give ANYTHING to go on Muffy's yacht.

Really?

Come on, Arthur. The yacht's waiting.

Arthur can't go today, Muffy. He's sick.

Oh. OK, whatever.

Wait! I'm feeling better. I'm great.

Arthur, you're not going?

Are you kidding? People would give ANYTHING to go on Muffy's yacht.

See anything?

-Look! Wilbur Rabbit, the guy who plays Bionic Bunny.

-Quit kidding.

Ahoy, there!

Who? Me?

-It seems our engine conked out. Can you give us a lift to shore?

-Wow!

Then Wilbur told me,

"Artie, those are swell glasses."

Of course, they're exactly like his.

The odds of meeting Bionic Bunny are minuscule.

Meet him? Arthur rescued him.

-Arthur rescued Bionic Bunny?

-He might've been lost at sea for ever.

Wow!

He'll probably mention that when we're on TV tonight.

Even at sea, my adoring fans managed to find me.

Hey, that's me!

And my head was, like, THIS big on Muffy's High-D TV.

Man! Hey, Brain, Arthur was on TV last night with Bionic Bunny.

I don't remember that on the news.

It wasn't on the news. It was on Celebrities At Sea Network.

That's on satellite TV.

-Don't you HAVE satellite TV?

-Well...no. We...

Muffy does. Maybe she'll even invite you over sometime.

We, the people...

-That sounds good.

-..who are friends of Wilbur Rabbit...

-Pledge to...

What are you doing?

-We're making up the pledge for our new club.

-Really?

-Cool!

The Wilbur Rabbit Society.

Can we join? We love Bionic Bunny.

His name is Wilbur. He only plays Bionic Bunny on TV.

-Everybody knows that.

-And besides, the club is for friends only.

That means only people who actually KNOW Wilbur can join.

-With liberty and justice for...

-Oof! Oops!

Arthur, Muffy, let's play.

And get my new dress dirty? I don't think so.

-Come on, Arthur.

-We've got better things to do, don't we, Muffy?

Things where you don't get all dirty.

Ahem! You're not going to eat that, are you? It's been on the ground.

But it's in a bag. It didn't get dirty.

Well, it's your choice if you want to eat a germ-wich. Vomit-rocious!

I'll take it. My mother only give me one sandwich.

Some people will eat ANYTHING.

RING

Hey, Arthur, you dropped a book. Aren't you gonna pick it up?

-Ahem!

-It's just a book. It can be replaced.

I can't be bothered with every little thing.

Besides, it's all dirty now.

Vomit-rocious.

Did you see that?

Arthur loves books. What's the matter with him?

Hey, Arthur, wait up!

-You...

-Of course you can have my autograph.

Sorry, I have to go now. No more autographs.

Binky, Arthur's gone haywire.

Or should I say crosswire?

Arthur, you wanna go to the arcade? They have Planet Smasher. It's cool.

Can't. The Wilbur Rabbit Society meets today.

Even better. Where are we meeting?

You have to be a friend of Wilbur's to join. That's the rule. Friends.

But I'm your friend, aren't I, Arthur?

-It's for Wilbur's friends.

-Oh.

Arthur has turned into Muffy.

Yeah, he's gone crosswire.

I want Arthur back.

-He has to be de-Muffified.

-But how?

-We better think fast, before it spreads to all of us.

-That's it!

-You know how to save Arthur?

-Yeah. Listen, everyone.

WHISPERING

-Maybe he's not coming.

-Ssh!

-Ready!

-How darling is this hat?

-Look.

I remember playing that silly game.

Ew! I'm not touching that. It's been in dirt.

-Vomit-rocious!

-Keep it away!

I'm too tired to go all the way to home plate. I'll stop here.

What's the matter with everyone?

They're all acting like...like...

I want to pitch to someone who doesn't hit so hard. Buster.

This glove is hideous. It doesn't go with my outfit at all.

They're all acting like...you.

The Bionic Bunny Club is meeting tonight. We're gonna watch the show.

Bionic Bunny Club? Great! What time?

You can't come. Club's for Bionic Bunny fans, not Wilbur's friends.

-They're not acting like me, Arthur. They're acting like you.

-Like...?

Don't you HAVE satellite TV?

The club is for friends only.

Vomit-rocious!

Friends only.

B-but I...

Everyone, listen. I didn't mind it

when Arthur copied me, but this is too much.

I know you all wanna be like me, but there's only one me. I'm sorry.

Vomit... Agh!

Uh-oh.

Hah!

-OK if I play?

-Sure. Nice outfit.

Now let's REALLY play some ball. ALL CHEER

I think Muffy's right. One Muffy is more than enough.

-Wanna come to my house and watch Bionic Bunny?

-Sure.

The more I think about it, it's really true.

This horrid glove totally clashes with my outfit.

Vomit-rocious!

-Some people just have to do everything themselves.

-Cut!

Cut! I'm sorry, Arthur, I have to stop you.

-This is just too boring.

-Boring? But...

You need a little enthusiasm, energy...

Put a little shape in it. This is the opening of the show!

Try it again.

Some people...just have to do... EVERYTHING...themselves.

That was it? THAT'S enthusiastic(?)

Yeah.

Well...that was practice.

CLEARS HIS THROAT

Some people just have to do everything themselves!

How was that?

Tease. Take seven!

You know, some people just have to do everything themselves!

They won't let ANYBODY help them!

I think that's MUCH better. That's a wrap. Cue the title.

I hope Mr Ratburn assigns another report.

We just turned one in yesterday!

No way will he give us another one!

This report should be at least two pages on any animal you choose -

where they live, what they eat, anything unusual.

The teams for the report will be as follows -

Arthur Reid and...Muffy Crosswire.

Alan, your partner is Sue Ellen.

A dinosaur! That's a great idea, Brain.

-I'll start some sketches.

-What should I do?

-The sketches have to be done first. I'll call you when I'm done.

-Great!

So long!

I've never done a report with Brain before.

-It'll be fun.

-It'll be easy!

-How do you mean?

-You'll see. Brain's the type that...

-He's great!

-He's the best report partner ever!

-I'M your partner and I'm NOT Brain!

Come on. We're going to the library.

Sue Ellen, don't you have any homework to do?

Not yet. Brain's doing the sketches. They're preliminary.

I'll call and see how it's going.

This is gonna be fantastic.

Even back in elementary school when I was building my first model,

I knew that, with a little DNA and hard work, I would succeed.

And now...

it lives!

Please, ladies and gentlemen, be calm!

Hello, hello, hello! Welcome to the show!

The strangest thing happened to me.

I found an elephant in my pyjamas.

How it got there, I'll never know.

SCREAMING

I have to work on his material.

RING

Hello.

-Hi, Brain! I just called to find out how the sketches are going.

-Great!

-Ready for the next stage.

-I was getting worried

that I was just gonna have to watch TV!

-What do you want me to do?

-YOU?!

Well...eh...continue watching TV.

Gotta do some research. Bye!

Very weird!

This is our model of tyrannosaurus rex.

The arms are made of cookies...

and the body is made out of cake!

Unfortunately, this isn't a cooking class. You've failed!

..And then he hung up the phone.

I can't find Buster! Hope he doesn't think I'll do the report by myself!

I hope Brain realises I expect to do half the work on this report.

-Brain, is that you?

-No. I mean...

That's strange. He vanished.

-That was close!

-You're telling ME!

You almost gave away my position.

I would deduce that Brain is strange because he's been working too hard.

Perhaps he's not getting enough sleep.

SCREECH

Ahhh! Must keep working!

Must keep working!

-What are you doing? I thought you were going home.

-Brain needs my help.

-Wow! Did Brain ask you for help?

-No. I'm gonna surprise him.

-Oh, he'll be surprised!

-Whew!

I came to help you with the research.

-All done. Look...

-Wow! What do we do now?

I need to finish wiring the vertebrae, then the head.

We can use papier-mache!

-Eh...clay is better.

-OK. I have clay at home. I'll go start the head.

LAUGHTER

You're going to be in third grade for a long time, Alan.

HE YAWNS

I brought the... What's the matter?

-You look tired.

-Working late. Come on. I've something to show you.

-It looks great. But... I thought

-I

-was making the head.

The head's the most important part.

I'm sorry you went to all that trouble for nothing.

-We can't use this.

-What?

-It's all wrong.

The proportions of the nasal cavities are way off.

Mr Ratburn would never accept this.

-They look the same.

-To the untrained eye.

It's supposed to be OUR project, Brain!

I don't have time to argue.

I have to finish this. You want a good grade, don't you?

"The proportions of the nasal cavities are all wrong"(!)

Are you having a bad dream?

No. A bad reality!

We have to talk about our report.

-I have everything under control.

-That's the problem!

You're gonna drop it. Let me help.

No. I can do it. Don't touch it.

That's ridiculous. You're being a report-hog!

-Please! It's very delicate.

-Fine. Take it!

Look what you've done!

And she let you fall in the mud?

That sounds hilarious!

It was far from amusing.

You were lucky you fell in the mud. If it were me, I'd have PUSHED you.

-What?!

-You have to admit, Brain...

you ARE a report-hog. On our French history report,

you were Napoleon and I was France!

You wouldn't give me any lines.

Even when we were little, you always had to do EVERYTHING.

How would YOU like it if Sue Ellen treated YOU that way?

Don't!

You're fiddling with my A-plus.

You don't know what you're doing. Go home!

I would feel bad if somebody didn't trust me to work on a report.

I'm sorry I called you a report-hog.

Now we don't have a report to hog! Our model is wrecked.

Maybe. But our report will be even better!

-How?

-Trust me!

OK!

..The largest mammal on Earth.

Very good. Alan and Sue Ellen will report next.

Can we all go outside?

Brain and I set up a demonstration.

All right! Field trip!

We have recreated what palaeontologists might find

when they discover dinosaur bones.

Wow, Brain! This is cool.

-It was really Sue Ellen.

-Now you can all dig them up.

There is a proper way to do it. Brain will show you.

Sue Ellen's right. You must be very careful.

This is gonna take all day.

We'll have time to finish our report after school.

-I'll meet you at your house.

-Oh, no!

We're sticking together until it's done.
