Go to Your Room, D.W./Transcript

D.W.: This is Tiffany and her servant. This is their lifeboat and these are the angry sharks... No! I'll do the playing! You just watch me! (Kate takes D.W.'s Tiffany doll, the two have tug-of-war) No! I'll do the playing. You just watch me. (The Tiffany doll's head falls off)

D.W.: (gasps) Ah! Now look what you did!

Jane: Play nicely, D.W..

D.W.: But she killed Tiffany!

(Kate chuckles)

Jane: Here. Give that to me. This looks easy to fix. Don't worry. Ahh, there we go! Good as new! No need to get excited!

D.W.: You're always on HER side!

Jane: I am not on anyone's side, but Kate's a baby and you're a big girl.

D.W.: I am NOT a big girl! I'm a little girl!

(Kate chuckles)

D.W.: Be quiet, you!

Jane: (off-screen) D.W.!

D.W.: You sweet, little baby-wayby! This is MINE! You can only touch it when I say so!

Jane: (sternly) D.W....

D.W.: Give that back or I'll pinch you! (gets taken away and drops doll in the process) Ah!

Jane: Dora Winifred Read, go to your room!

D.W.: But what did I do?

TITLE CARD
D.W.: This is so unfair! I'm a prisoner in my own room.

Nadine: It's only for a little while, D.W.

D.W.: (darkly) It's all because of that...that...baby!

(Jane walks into the room.)

D.W.: Is it time yet? Am I free?

Jane: You just got here. 10 minutes more and then you can come downstairs.

D.W.: But what about my supper? How will I survive?!

Jane: Supper's not 'til 6. You'll be out before then.

D.W.: But what if you forget about me? I could starve to death! Mommy! Mommy!

(Jane looks annoyed at D.W.)

Jane: (puts D.W. on her bed) It's 4:30 now. When the clock says 4:40, you can come downstairs. And I'll set the alarm, so you'll know when it's time.

D.W.: (crying in her pillow) You don't love me! You only love Kate and Arthur and Pal and Donnie, and Aunt Lucy, and..and...

D.W.: (to Nadine) What time did she say?

Nadine: Ten minutes. When the clock says 4:31, that means one minute has gone by,

D.W.: I know that! I do go to pre-school you know!

(D.W. and Nadine look at the clock. D.W. notices that it's not moving.)

D.W.: Nadine!

Nadine: What?

D.W.: It's not moving! (grabs clock and looks at it in horror) Huh! Mom! Dad! (runs out of her room) Something's wrong with the clock! I think time has...stopped?

(D.W. sees a frozen Arthur sitting on the sofa while holding a cookie. D.W. takes the cookie and bites into it and then gives it back to Arthur.)

Nadine: What's going on?

D.W.: Time's stopped, and we're the only ones who are awake. (Suddenly, D.W. is happy after 1 second) Yippee!

(D.W., unaware that she is imagining, starts to freely skip around the house and go outside. She picks up Pal and puts him near the Tibbles' porch.)

D.W.: Stay! You live with the Tibbles now. (looks at Tibbles) You booby-faced baloney heads!

(Suddenly, David snaps her out of her imagination)

David: What are you doing?

D.W.: (frantically) The clock broke and time stopped and I was coming to warn you...

David: (sternly) Nice try, D.W. Back to your room NOW!

D.W.: (grumpily) Sheesh! You don't have to treat me like a criminal!

D.W.: Can you ever forgive me?!

(Nadine Flumberghast disappears just as Jane is coming back into the room)

Mom: See? All you have to do is be your nice, sweet self and the two of you will get along just fine.

D.W.: So you don't love Kate more than me?

Mom: I love you both very much.
