Postcards from Buster (episode)/Transcript

#
At the breakfast table D.W. sees the paper.

D.W.: Hh! Unicornucopia! A musical extravaganza.

Arthur: You read that?

D.W.: No, but I recognize him from the commercial. Points at the actor in the ad.

#
''D.W. and Nadine check the couch for coins. They did find D.W.’s imaginary pet Snooter.''

D.W.: Ten cents? Oh. At this this rate I’m never gonna get to see Unicornucopia.

Nadine: Maybe it would be cheaper if I didn’t come with you to New York.

D.W.: But you’re imaginary. You don’t cost anything.

Nadine: You never know, D.W. This is New York we’re talking about.

D.W.: That’s true. But what would you do without me? Would you even exist?

Nadine: Snooter was still in the couch.

D.W.: Okay, it’s settled. You stay here. You’re the best imaginary friend a girl could have.

Nadine: And you’re the best real friend an imaginary girl could have. They hug.

#
Arthur: D.W., I don’t have any room for your index cards.

D.W.: They’re not index cards. They’re postcards, so we don’t have to buy them in New York. See, I’ve already drawn all the famous sights. Here’s the Vampire state building... a skyscraper with fangs  ...and Rocks-a-Falling Center and the Statue of Liver Trees…

#
The Reads meet Arthur and his dad in the hotel the next morning.

Buster: How’d you sleep.

Arthur: (yawns) D.W. wouldn’t go to sleep for hours. She wanted to find all the free things in the room.

D.W.: So far I’ve got soap, shampoo, conditioner, a shower cap… oh yeah, and ice. She holds up a dripping bagpack.

#
The Read parents and D.W. are leaving their hotel room.

Mr. Read: Phew. I was beginning to think we were never gonna get out of that room. Okay, D.W., this is the last time I’m gonna ask. Are you sure you have everything you need.

D.W.: Bag, water, purse, lollipop. Yup! And right after I go to the bathroom I’ll be all set.

#
Arthur: Buster, turn your camera off. Your dad got us some food.

Buster: Finally.

(he turns the camera off)

Buster: Mmm! This is the best hot dog I've ever had!

Arthur: Me, too!

Bo: And wait till you see what's for dessert! I picked it up at the Valencia bakery while you were looking around.

Buster: This is turning into a great day!

Bo: Well, there is some bad news. Los Viajeros are late. We might have to wait here a while.

Arthur: That's okay! I love this place! I could stay here till—(gasps) Oh, no! The musical starts in 15 minutes!

Bo: Maybe we can get you there by the second act!

#
Since Arthur got lost with Mr. Baxter and Buster, Nadine got his seat at Unicornucopia.

D.W.: What a ripoff! Sorry I dragged you all the way from home, Nadine, but we had an extra seat.

Nadine: That’s okay. It’s boring living with people who don’t believe in you.
