D.W. Read: Just a minute, Mom!

(she measures two pieces of chocolate cake)

D.W.: Okay....

Arthur Read: If there's anything D.W. can't stand, it's if things aren't equal.

D.W.: Oh, wait, wait, wait!

Arthur: This is nothing. The time she got really crazy was with her best friend Emily!

(Scene changes)

D.W.: (pointing at Emily's toys) I've got that one, I've got that one, I've got that—(winds music box) Aw, mine just plays "Mairzy Doats".

Emily: I love "Mairzy Doats"!

D.W.: Oh, yeah? Then I guess mine's better.

Emily: Can we play now?

D.W.: Uh huh.

Marie-Hélène: Mademoiselle Emily, ??????? milk and cookies! Oh, this room is a mess! I will clean it later! (she brushes Emily's hair) Frere Jacques, Frere Jacques, dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?

Binky Barnes: (V.O.) More!

D.W.: Okay. Read it back to me.

Nadine: „Why I need a French Nanny like Emily by D.W. Read. Number one: sometimes you and Dad are too busy with work to pay attention to me.“

D.W.: No, no, we changed that.

Nadine: Oh, right. „Sometimes you and Dad have a lot of important work to do and need a break. Number two: it's always good to learn foreign languages.“

D.W.: They'll like that.

Nadine: „Number three: I'm very dainty and need someone to protect me from Arthur when he becomes crazy and mean, which is often.“

D.W.: How can they argue with that? Okay. Wish me luck.

D.W.:May I have money?

(Her parents look at D.W. in anger)

D.W. is doing chores

(Her Mom looks at D.W. in anger for this bribe)

In D.W.'s fantasy, Emily and the Tibbles are sitting in a bank safe and coloring in books.

D.W.: Hi, guys, can I color with you?

Emily: Do you have a bank account book?

D.W.: No, but...

Emily: Then what is there for you to color?

D.W.:Can I get an allowance?

Jane stops the car and looks at D.W sternly

D.W.: Hi, grandma, it's D.W. I'm calling on behalf of the D.W. allowance fund.

Mrs. Read: D.W.!
