My Music Rules/Transcript

The Library
Ms. Turner: That's it for the activities this week, everyone. Now I know you've all been looking forward to hearing Piccolo Pete the Musical Clown next week, but sadly, Pete's run away from the circus to join a family. So we're searching for a musician. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

D.W. Read: Oh, I know! I know!

Arthur Read: How is it that you know you're not going like something even before it happens?

Grandma's House
Arthur: (V.O.) Like when you hear Grandma Thora say—

Grandma: It's a brand-new recipe, and you kids are the first to try it. I call it Thora's Mean Bean Pie.

Basement
Arthur: (V.O.) You don't even have to be a person to know when something's bad news.

Pal: (whimpering)

Arthur: Here, Pal! Here, boy!

Buster Baxter: Come on! Let's go for a ride! Do you think he knows he going to get shots?

Arthur: Nah! He's smart, but he can't be that smart.

Library 2
Arthur: And when D.W. gets an idea, well—

Ms. Turner: Yes, D.W.? You have a suggestion for a musician?

D.W.: How about the guy who wrote Crazy Bus?

Arthur: Argh!

Title Card
Buster: (V.O.) My Music Rules!

Arthur: Hey!

Jane suggests that D.W. go with Grandma Thora to a concert.

D.W. : Do I have any choice in this?

Jane : None whatsoever.

D.W. : (feigned enthusiasm) Oh boy, a concert.

Francine : Uncle Josh! Of course, why didn't I think of that? That's a great idea Dad, only... who's uncle Josh?

D.W. has invited cellist Yo Yo Ma to give a concert at the library.

D.W.: Well, it’s too late. Yo Mama says he’s coming.
