Sleep No More/Pet Peeved Arthur

# Every day when you're walking down the street, everybody that you meet

# Has an original point of view

# And I say, hey! What a wonderful kind of day

# If you could learn to work and play And get along with each other

# Listen to your heart, to the beat Listen to the rhythm of the street

# Open up your eyes, open your ears Make things better 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! What a wonderful kind of day!

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

# What a wonderful kind of day! What a wonderful kind of day! #

Hey, DW!

-Hey!

-Oh!

Hello. Today, as a special treat, my esteemed colleague, Prof Baxter,

will speak about a subject he knows all about.

Thank you. Today we will discuss... Roll the tape, please!

Sleep. Sleep is the most necessary part of our lives.

It replenishes our strength so that we are physically fit.

It rests our brains so that we are mentally fit.

'Can anyone tell me the sound animals of this genus make?

SNORING 'Excellent, Buster!

'That IS the sound of the wild boar.'

And it saves our energy for the truly important things.

Now to prepare myself for something truly important.

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you, Professor.

Next week, Prof Baxter presents part two of his sleeping lectures -

Eating After Sleeping.

Hey!

'For Neil Strongarm, landing on the Moon was the dream of a lifetime

'and it was his destiny.

'Adventures in Space will continue right after this.'

Ever wonder what your destiny is?

I'll win a gold medal on the Olympic hockey team.

I'll discover the universe's origin.

I'm going to end world hunger.

After being the world's most glamorous fashion designer.

I think we all know what Buster's destiny is.

ALL: Mattress tester!

'It's coming! The most magical kingdom of all. Pizza Land!

'The first theme park made entirely of food.'

# Come to a heavenly place Where cheese and tomato

-# Are all that the eye can see! #

-Pepperoni!

'As a special opening event, the first Pizza Paula's Pizza Pig-out.

'Whoever eats the most pizzas will receive a lifetime pass

'to any one of my pizza restaurants.'

You always tell me to do what I'm good at.

I'm excellent at all-you-can-eat. Francine said it's my destiny.

-Or mattress tester.

-I'm sorry, Buster. That park is miles away.

We'd have to stay in a hotel. We don't have the money for that.

Money, hmm...

-Will this help pay for a hotel?

-Oh, Buster.

-It's wonderful that you're working so hard...

-My destiny!

-But I'm sorry.

A hotel costs a lot... TELEPHONE RINGS

-This isn't how destiny works.

-Yes? Bitsy Baxter, Elwood City Times.

What, Mom? What?

This is so cool that you can invite us all to Pizza Land!

My mom's covering the opening for her newspaper

and they gave her a free suite, so why let it go to waste?

-What great luck!

-Luck? It's destiny!

'Welcome to my Pizza Land!

'Step on the welcome mat and come on in.

'Mmm!'

It's...paradise!

ALL: Wow!

Mmm, crust! Deep dish!

Buster, please don't eat the sidewalk. Here are your maps.

Meet back here at 4 o'clock sharp.

Wanna go to the Anchovy Flume?

There's something I must do first.

I'd like to register for tomorrow's contest, please.

GASPS

Sorry, guys. It's my special talent.

You're going to bed at six o'clock?

I'm getting my rest for the contest.

But you'll miss the laser show.

The better rested, the better he'll eat. Let's let him have some peace.

-As if a marching band could wake him!

-It's just an excuse for another nap!

Oh! I almost forgot my exercises.

And bite, chew, chew, mm, mm.

And swallow. OK, that's enough.

Pizza pig-out...

Wow! That was deep!

I can't sleep!

I shut my eyes and think about the contest.

I see it, taste it, smell it.

It's probably because you tried to go to bed so early.

-That must be it.

-Why not try my mask and earplugs?

OK. Well, here goes.

Good night!

Oh...

Here you go, Arthur.

You eat while I clean your room.

Anything else you'd like me to do?

Oh, goodie! Let me see.

There's seven hours 34 minutes and 20 seconds to go.

-What?

-Seven hours 34 minutes and 10 seconds to go...

-Seven hours 34 minutes and zero seconds to go.

-DW, don't go!

-Oh, Buster!

-Go to sleep!

-I can't!

I've got it! Buster, look over here.

Now, just think of math class...

Great! You did it, Brain!

No.

I dreamt I heard the lunch bell.

Harder, harder. Feel the burn! Good!

Now are you tired?

No - I'm hungry!

I can't believe I'm doing this,

-but a proper bed IS the only way to get a good night's sleep.

-Night.

RUSTLING

OK, out! Out!

You know, it always helps me to punch my pillow a few times.

-Does it make you sleepy?

-No, but it makes me think how my hand hurts.

-Oh.

-Hey, Arthur, you haven't had any ideas.

-Oh, well...I don't know. Counting sheep?

-Ohh(!)

That is so lame. It never works...

After I destroy all my Crazy Bus stuff, I'll start on Mary Moo Cow.

Arthur? Arthur...

Buster, no! You fell asleep! You counted sheep!

But then I dreamt about shepherds and then about shepherd's pie.

-Then pizza pie and...

-Buster, stop!

-It's just a stupid contest!

-It's not!

It's my destiny! You've got to help me!

What's the use? It's hopeless.

Well, there's only one thing to do when destiny bites the dust.

Bite back. ..Hello, room service? Could I have a pizza?

'Room service is closed. Perhaps you could come down to the kitchen.'

We've only got six hours 15 minutes and 40 seconds until the contest!

-Here, twirl this!

-But I'm not... I mean, I just couldn't sleep.

-Tell me about it!

-You guys!

-We couldn't sleep.

This always happens to me. I blew the rhubarb-eating contest.

-I haven't had a good night's sleep in 16 years!

-Man, I'm tired...

Wait a minute. How can you be so crazy about a silly contest?

-It's not silly!

-It's...my destiny!

-But there are always contests.

If not this one, there'll be another one. That's right!

-There'll always be another one.

-Help us with this work.

-Work?

-HE YAWNS

-Right, work.

Will you excuse me a moment?

Welcome, one and all, to the Pizza Pig-out!

First an apology. Due to Pizza Paula's incredible excitement,

she didn't sleep a wink last night, so the contest will be tomorrow.

-That gives you all a chance to get another good night's rest.

-Aww!

Pizza, anyone...?

Guys?

Guys?

OK. "Connect piece A15 to B20.

"Then connect the piece marked Right Corner..."

Never underestimate the importance of directions!

Imagine not following the instructions for the Eiffel Tower!

See I told you! "Connect Z Quinze to C Soixante-sept."

If only you'd listened to me!

Even repairmen look at instructions.

Sure you don't want the manual?

Don't need it. This machine's as good as new.

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

Following instructions is boring.

I made this and never looked at the instructions once.

-DW!

-DW!

See? Who needs instructions?

No can do, Francine. My mom said it'd be bad for my asthma.

No, Francine. It would make Pal uncomfortable.

My mom doesn't want the couches all ripped up.

Great(!) Now what am I gonna do?

Nemo, I'm sorry. You can't come camping with me this weekend.

And I can't find anyone to watch you. I've tried everybody.

Binky, there's no better pet than a dog.

Crusher could eat that scaredy cat!

-For breakfast!

-I bet he could eat him for an afternoon snack!

On a cracker!

Why not take your dog and get lost?

Sorry, Nemo. I still have to find someone to watch you.

If I don't, we'll have to put you in...the kitty kennel!

Uh, Francine, sorry I teased your cat. I was just playing along. Bye!

Arthur's not tough enough for the job.

Neither is Buster. I need someone who is really, really tough.

-How about Sue Ellen?

-Actually, Binky, I was thinking of you.

-Me?

-Oh, yeah, me. I'm tough enough. What's the job?

-Pet watcher.

-A pit bull?

-No.

-A python?

-No.

-A piranha?

-No.

-It's my cat, Nemo.

-Your cat?! No way!

It's just for Saturday and Sunday. I'll pay you 5 a day!

-Make it ten for the whole weekend!

-Er...OK.

Yes! Whoo-ee! Ten dollars!

See you at my place.

Ah, Binky, you sure know how to bargain.

Hi, Nemo. Ready to have some fun?

Well, here's all his stuff. Food, toys, sleeping basket...

-Ahem!

-Relax! Your money's in the envelope with cat care instructions.

-It's very important to follow them.

-We'll be fine. See you Sunday!

Be good to him!

First things first.

OK, Nemo. You're not gonna believe what I built for you.

Let's go! It's THIS way, Nemo.

Miaow!

Oh, brother!

Pretty cool obstacle course, huh?

Go on, try it out. ..OK, I'll do it once, then it's your turn.

Where are you going? Come back.

Let's see if you know any tricks.

Um...sit!

Fetch!

Uh, listen, cat,

I'm in charge and we're gonna have fun!

Oh, so you like staring contests, huh?

OK, but I'm warning you. I am the best starer in...

in...

OK, that one didn't count. I had dust in my eye.

Hey! Stop right now! I order you!

Oh!

CRUSHER GROWLS

-Miaow.

-We can work this out. Just come down now before Rattle sees me.

-You talking to a tree?

-Yeah... I was just practising some insults.

Quit crying, you weeping willow!

Hey, look! It's that cat!

Hey, Binky, hold him if you catch him.

-He'd be a great chew toy for Crusher.

-Ha! He sure would.

-A chew toy...

-Whoa!

We'll do whatever you want. Just come down.

-Some fun that dumb cat turned out to be!

-Miaow!

Get off my shoe, furball!

Hey! You're playing!

If you like shoelaces, I've got something you'll love.

Thataboy!

Whoa!

Binky Barnes! What on Earth are you and that cat doing?

Clean up the yarn this instant.

Hey, get back here! Half of this mess is yours!

Nemo, stop that scratching!

Nemo, please stop that.

Nemo! Stop that!

Thank you.

-BINKY YAWNS

-Oh, here you go. Breakfast time.

-Miaow(!)

-Hurry up and eat. Francine will be here to pick you up soon.

What? You don't wanna go home?

HISS

You wanna stay here? With me?

But you're Francine's kitty. Wait! Has Francine been rotten to you?

Is that why you're scared?

You were supposed to wake me up! I gave you specific instructions!

Now I'm late! No food for you today.

Clean this floor. I want it to shine. Come on, Nemo, clean!

Pull! Let's go, Nemo. Move it!

Aw, you poor little guy.

No wonder she said it was tough.

She wanted me to be a slavedriver like her.

Don't worry. Binky won't let mean old Francine hurt you any more.

-Hide in here. It'll be safer.

-Hey, Binky!

-They're after us!

-Francine's looking all over for you. She wants Nemo back.

-Uh...

-Cat got your tongue?

-No.

-MIAOW

-Did you just...miaow?

-Um, yeah. Yeah, I miaowed. Why?

Can't a kid miaow if he wants to?

-Miaow.

-Miaow, miaow.

Miaow, miaow.

You can stay here tonight.

Tomorrow we'll build a secret hideout. ..Oh, almost empty.

You'll need more. I'll be back.

Stay here. Please? Just stay here.

May I interest you in parakeet food?

No, I'm looking for cat stuff. Er... I'm about to get a cat. I think.

Follow me for some essential items.

Aisle one, grooming comb and brushes.

Aisle two, flea spray and collars.

Aisle three, an exercise ball.

Aisle four, a travelling cage. And finally...When Cats Go Bad.

-And When Cats Go Really Bad.

-Will this cost more than 10?

It'll be 121.46!

Aaaargh!

Nemo? Where are you?

Miaow.

What are you doing out there?

Nemo, I can't afford to feed you.

I'm gonna have to take you home.

Hey!

Come out, Nemo! You're acting like a cat!

-Hey, wait up!

-What's going on here?!

Still trying to catch that chew toy.

Just a little bit closer...

-Binky?

-Ah!

-Where's Nemo?

-Get that little scaredy cat!

Oh! Nemo!

That's the way, Nemo!

You oughta have that cat on a leash. He's dangerous!

Crusher, come back!

Here, Nemo. He's right, Binky. Nemo should be on his leash.

-He could have gotten hurt.

-You're one to talk!

You make him wake up early and...huh?

-But I thought...

-Come on, Nemo.

-Hey!

-A-ha! I KNEW Nemo didn't want to go with you.

-Have you been mean to him?

-No, YOU have!

Nemo's allergic to milk. It makes him act weird.

Didn't you read my instructions?

What instructions?

See? It says right here, "Don't feed him milk."

Oh.

I'm sorry, Nemo. I guess you had a rotten weekend.

Wow, Binky! He really likes you.

He likes it when I rub his belly. It helped him sleep last night.

Here's your 10 back.

You can keep it IF you promise to be Nemo's official cat watcher.

Sure! Next time we'll have such fun! I'll teach you how to box.

You've got a great southpaw.

-Miaow.

-Or...we could just nap all day.
