Feeling Flush/Transcript

Introduction
''A desert with circling vultures. Arthur and his friends are walking below.''

Arthur: „Student log, May Fifteenth: Still no sign of civilization. We're lost in the Sahara after a trip to the Ellwood Petting Zoo went wrong. Horribly wrong! The only food we have left is...“ Buster takes a bag out of his backpack.

Buster: „Chili pepper popcorn. Now extra spicy!" Binky throws sand at a vulture.

Binky: Shoo! ''The sand blows in his eyes. '' Aah.

Arthur: „At least we still have a full bottle of water.“ ''Francine pours water over her wrist. '' Francine! What are you doing?!

Francine: I can't tell if this is dirt on my wrist or a freckle. So I'm seeing if it washes off.

Arthur: But we need that water for drinking! „Log Correction. Less than a full bottle...“ Muffy, are you crazy?! ''Muffy is squirting water at a vulture. ''

Muffy: Shoo! That bird looks at me funny! I'm trying to scare it off. Shoo!

Arthur: But you're wasting our water! „Water supply's dwindling fast.“ ''Binky fills a water balloon. ''A water balloon?!

Binky: Shh! Don't tell anyone. You'll spoil it. ''Buster looks like he's asleep standing up. ''Hey, Buster! ''Binky throws the balloon. At that moment, Buster slumps forward.''

Buster: Huh? ''The balloon misses Buster and almost hits a vulture, which flies off. Arthur holds the bottle.''

Arthur: Guys, we'll never survive if we waste all our water! Our lovely, cool, quenching, refreshing... He drinks the bottle empty. Ahh. Oops! The others give him angry looks.

Kids: Grr!

Francine: Take the midnight train and maybe, baby. ''Arthur is brushing his teeth with the water running. D.W. comes in.''

D.W.: Arthur Read! What do you think you're doing?!

Arthur: Hey! D.W. turns off the tab.

D.W.: It's called “water conversation”! Arthur spits.

Arthur: You mean “conservation”! And what it's really called is “annoying your brother”! He turns the water back on and D.W. turns it off again.

D.W.: Miss Morgan says if you use up all the water, there'll be none left for my generation!

Arthur: We're the same generation and I'm not using up all the water! They turn the water on and off again, then D.W. walks out.

D.W.: Mom!

Muffy: I can handle it, but this drought is getting to be a real drag.

Francine checks the water meters in her appartment building.

Francine: B-9...B-10....

Mr. Sanders: What're you up to, Frensky?

Francine: Nothing, Mr. Sanders!

Mr. Sanders: You're always up to something. Filling my suggestion box with suggestions. We didn't have a suggestion box till you suggested it.

Francine: My mom said the water meter for our appartment is down here.

Mr. Sanders: Yup. They were useful when everyone paid for their own water. Now it's easier if I just raise everyone’s rent some and pay the water myself.

Francine: So, er... I can use as much water as I want and it doesn't cost my parents any extra?

Mr. Sanders: Just how much water are you using?

Francine: Uh...hardly any at all. I'll be checking the water meter all week to prove it.

Mr. Sanders: You know what, Frensky? I think I'll be checking it too. He leaves.

Francine: Not the 10:05, But the midnight train

Muffy: Thanks a lot! Francine.

Francine and her friends are standing in front of the Frenskys' bathroom.

Francine: What should we do?

Muffy: We can't just burst in. It's not polite, even if it is an alien. The toilet flush is heard from inside.

Francine: That's another twenty liters of water. All right, alien, I've had it with you! She opens the door.

Kids: Ahh! Francine's cat Nemo is standing on the toilet and playing with the flush.

Francine: Nemo?? So you're the one?

Arthur: That's why I have a dog.
