Arthur the Wrecker

"Arthur the Wrecker" is the first half of the fourteenth episode of season 1 of the animated children's series Arthur. It originally aired on December 9th, 1996.

Plot
Arthur is very addicted to a new computer game, Deep Dark Sea, playing even when he shouldn't. When he gets to a new area he's excited about, he calls up Buster. When it appears that they have broken the computer, they look for Brain to help them fix it, but he can't find the problem. Soon, Mom comes home to use the computer. She found out the computer just fell asleep. Mom grounded Arthur for his actions after that.

Goofs

 * The Brain thought it was broken when the computer fell asleep but in a future episode when The A-Team, he knew what to do when a computer falls asleep.

Quotes

 * [Arthur and Buster are in the computer den]
 * Buster: Couldn't you just show it to me for one second?
 * Arthur: I guess. Mom would never even know. [they start playing Deep Dark Sea]
 * D. W: Arthur, what are you doing? Mom told you not to play on her computer.
 * Arthur: We're NOT playing. I'm just showing it to Buster. Go away!
 * D. W: If I go away, I'll probably tell Daddy. Besides, I want to watch.
 * Arthur: Okay, you can watch. But be quiet.
 * Buster: Wow! Even the Brain didn't get this far.
 * D. W: What's that?
 * Arthur: I don't know.
 * Buster: Go to it. Maybe it's the thing.
 * D. W: A treasure chest!
 * Buster: I think that's it. That's...
 * Arthur and Buster: ...The thing!
 * Arthur: I think I won. We've got to open it!
 * [Arthur and Buster both grab at the mouse, then Buster accidentally knocks the keyboard off the desk along with the mouse which both crash to the floor, the computer starts buzzing as the CRT monitor starts to flicker in waves, the screen goes nearly black with a dot in the middle, the screen appears again, and then wipes away completely]
 * Buster: You wrecked it!
 * Arthur: No I didn't. You knocked the keyboard off the desk.
 * Buster: Because you pushed my arm. Try turning it off and on again.
 * [Arthur presses the top button below the slot, but nothing seems to budge]
 * D. W: You killed it! Now Mommy will lose her job. Then we'll lose the house, and live in the street, and Kate will get pneumonia, and we'll all starve!
 * Arthur: D. W., be quiet! I'm thinking.
 * D. W': And it's ALL YOUR FAULT! So you better FIX it! Because I like living here!
 * [Buster grabs onto the computer tensely]
 * Arthur: DON'T do that! You'll make it worse.
 * Buster: Maybe you better call your mom.
 * Arthur: I can't. She said not to play with it. But now I wrecked it! I've got it. Maybe we could fix it before she gets home.
 * D. W: Maybe a rich family would have thought me. I'm cute.
 * Buster: Who'd know how to fix a computer?
 * Arthur and Buster: [enthusiastically] The Brain!
