D.W.'s Backpack Mishap/Transcript

(It's a summer day, and everyone is at the Community Pool)

D.W. Read: So, what are we playing today, Arthur? Underwater tea party or slow-motion ballet?

Arthur: (laughs) Me do ballet? That's a good one!

D.W.: You liked doing it last weekend, and your grand jete is getting a lot better!

Arthur: You have to play with your own friends today, D.W.

D.W.: Hey, Emily! Come on in! The water is delicious!

Emily: I have to finish lunch. Want some of my ???? sandwich?

D.W.: No, and I wouldn't eat that if I were you! ???? is just a fancy name for liverwurst.

(Emily shrugs)

D.W.: Hey, Tommy! Timmy! Wanna play fish? I'll let you two be the sharks.

Timmy Tibble: Sure! Just wait till we finish putting on our sunblock. You missed a spot on your head.

Tommy Tibble: Oh, yeah! Well, you missed a spot on your back!

(laughter)

D.W.: Why do I even bother? Boring! I wish something would happen! (a big cloud rolls in) Wait! I didn't mean it! I take it back! (it starts to rain) Honest! It was a joke!

(Arthur, D.W., and their mom are in the car)

D.W.: STOP! TURN AROUND, TURN AROUND!

Mom: D.W., what's wrong?!

D.W.: This isn't my backpack! SOMEONE STOLE MY BACKPACK!!!!
