ARTHUR'S BIG HIT

Writer: Joe Fallon Storyboard Artist: Robert Yap


 * (The scene's a cavernous boxing ring, where Arthur and D.W. are about to fight each other.)
 * Francine Frensky: Presenting the Main Event. The Champion Arthur Read.


 * (Audience cheer)


 * Arthur Read: I've been waiting for this Fight for years. There's no way I can lose.


 * Francine: And the challenger. Dora Winifred Read!


 * Arthur: (muffled, with subtitles) Prepare to lose!


 * D.W. Read: What?


 * Arthur: (muffled, with subtitles) "Prepare to Lose"!


 * D.W.: (gestures to subtitles) This doesn't help. I can't read.


 * Francine: Get ready to fight!!!


 * D.W.: (from the audience) Arthur


 * Arthur: (muffled, with subtitles) Two D.W.s?!

(Intertitle shows)
 * D.W.: No, not two D.W.s. There's only one of me.
 * (In the ring, D.W. takes off a rubber mask. It's Binky!)
 * Binky Barnes: We figured you'd rather fight someone your own size!
 * Arthur: You know. You're right. I would love to fight someone my own size. You wait here. I'll go find someone. (runs off screaming)
 * Binky: Come back and fight.
 * D.W.: (laughs while Binky chases Arthur)

(In Arthur's room) (Arthur growls at her)
 * D.W.: What kind of a game is that?
 * Arthur: It's not a game. It's a scale model of a Bell X-1 Rocket Plane. The plane that broke a sound barrier.
 * D.W.: The sound barrier must be pretty hard. (Touches the pieces) Because this plane is all smashed up.
 * Arthur: It's not smashed. I'm gonna build it. (Snatches the pieces from D.W.) Stop touching everything or You'll mess up the pieces.
 * D.W.

(In the dining room) (Outside of house)
 * Arthur: (painting his plane until he was interruped by D.W.)
 * D.W.: Is that a same broken plane when you're fixing yesterday?
 * Arthur: Don't do that. I need to concentrade.
 * D.W.: That's a pretty color. (Accidentally spills the paint which angers Arthur)
 * Arthur: (Shouts angrily)
 * D.W.: (Laughing nervously) Bye.
 * Arthur: (Pissed off; Growling)
 * D.W.: If it could break the sound barrier, falling out of the window shouldn't be able to break it.
 * Arthur: (Angrily at D.W.) I told you not to touch it.
 * D.W.: You build it all wrong. Did you even read the directions? (That annoys Arthur)
 * Arthur: (Having finally had enough of D.W., furiously gets up, grits his teeth and make a fist)
 * D.W.: It didn't fly for one second. It's not my fault if you made a plane that can't fly.


 * Arthur: I TOLD YOU... NOT TO TOUCH IT!


 * (he angrily hits D.W. in the arm)


 * D.W.: (crying) AH-HAH-HAAAAAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!


 * Mother: Arthur Timothy Read, come here!


 * Arthur: Uh-oh. Middle name.

(In the kitchen)


 * D.W.: Are they gonna amputake my arm?


 * Father: No, honey, it's amputate, not amputake.


 * D.W.: They're gonna amputate?!


 * Father: No. I'm in charge, and I'm putting ice on it. (he does so, and D.W. shrieks) What's wrong?


 * D.W.: That's cold.

(In the hallway)


 * Mother: Apologize to your sister.


 * Arthur: No way! She should apologize to me. I worked all week on this. (Arthur shows his mom the broken model plane) I told her a million times not to touch it!


 * (David Read carries a half-naked D.W. past them)


 * D.W.: You're bad!

(In the living room)


 * David: Arthur, this means no TV for a week!


 * Arthur: WHAT?! That is so unfair. (Arthur furiously turns to his left on the stool) You don't care what she even did to me.


 * Jane: We'll deal what she did, but you what you did is wrong too.
 * Arthur: Hmph.

(At the school, Arthur and Buster walking)


 * Arthur: So I missed Bionic Bunny last night, and I can't watch TV a whole week. Can you believe that.


 * Buster: Nope. Don't believe it, you hit your sister that's terrible.


 * Arthur: C'mon it's like you never hit anybody.


 * Buster: Nope


 * (Arthur and Buster entering the school)


 * Binky: Did you hear that. Arthur just hit his sister, I'm for one of shocked.


 * 4th Grade Male Dog: How you could be shocked about hitting someone.


 * Binky: Why not.


 * (Binky stands up to Molly)


 * Molly: Well you're Binky Barnes ,you always. You know, cant remember the last time that you hit anybody


 * (Binky gets confused)


 * Binky: Well, what do you mean.


 * (School bell rings)


 * Binky: There's the bell! Ha, don't want to be late!

(In the school hallways)


 * Molly: So what was it Bink


 * 4th Grade Male Dog: So Binky doesn't have to remember the past glorious fights.


 * (Binky turns around)


 * Binky: That's right


 * 4th Grade Male Dog: That he is afraid of no one of his established factoid


 * Binky: That's right


 * 4th Grade Male Dog: He can prove it easily by socking the very next kid who turns that corner


 * Binky: That's right. What?


 * (Arthur comes in the hallway where the tough customers are at.)


 * Molly: Go head Binky. Sock him.


 * Binky: Maybe I don't feel like it


 * Molly: You better feel like it or you're out of the club.
 * Arthur: And the next thing I knew, I was on the ground. It hurt and it was embarrassing and-
