In the living room
Arthur: Wow. I want that game.

Francine beat Arthur at bowling.

Arthur: Please don’t say “I win”.

Francine: Okay. You lose!

The Reads sit at the dinner table.

Arthur: After I lost at bowling, I lost at video games and checkers. I lose at everything. I even lost my glasses.

D.W.: I'll help find them for five dollars.

Mrs. Read: D.W.! They're on your head, Arthur. Arthur pulls his glasses over his eyes.

Arthur: (sighs) I guess I’m just a loser.

Mr. Read: Sometimes luck goes in cycles. Don't worry, you'll start winning again soon.

''Arthur sits in his room looking glum. D.W. comes in with a deck of cards.''

D.W.: How about a game of cards before your luck changes? I mean, to help your luck change.

Arthur plays Binky if front of an audience of students.

Arthur: Why are my friends rooting against me? Fern comes up to him.

Fern: Everyone wants to see you lose because you’ve been acting like a jerk. Sorry.
