Arthur the Wrecker/Transcript

Arthur Read: If you examined history, I bet you'd find kids like me did important things.

(Ancient Egypt)

Papa Pharaoh: Tut! Tut! I asked you not to play too close to our new Sphinx.

Tut: I'll be careful, Papa Pharaoh. (he breaks the nose off the Sphinx) Oops.

(Ancient Greece)

Arthur: (V.O.) There were kids like me in Ancient Greece, too.

Mr. Haney (Ancient Greece): No, sorry, I don't like it.

(A flying discus accidentally knocks the D.W. Read sculpture off the Venus de Milo statue)

Fatherius: '''ARTHURIUS! I ASKED YOU NOT TO PLAY WITH YOUR DISCUS IN MY WORK AREA!'''

Arthurius: I'm sorry, Fatherius.

Mr. Haney: It's beautiful! I'll take it.

(Scene changes to colonial America)

Arthur: (V.O.) I'll bet there were even kids like me around in colonial days. (A young boy resembling Arthur bumps into a bell, causing the bell to crack)

(Back to the present)

Arthur: All those things became more valuable and important because of an innocent kid. So you see, D.W., one day this may be looked back on as an historic event.

D.W.: I bet you'll never forget it! Mom! Arthur broke the window!

Francine Frensky: (V.O.) Arthur the Wrecker!

(We now return to the story. D.W., Kate Read, and their mother Jane Read are walking home on a Friday afternoon. Well, D.W. is actually rollerskating.)

D.W.: When we get home, ow! Will you play kitchen with me? OW!

Mother: What's kitchen?

D.W.: That's the game where I bring you ingredients and you make cookies. Then I eat them.

Mother: I see. I'm afraid I have to work.

Arthur: Mom, the Brain loaned me the computer game Deep Dark Sea. Can I play it on your computer?

Mother: Sure. After dinner.

Arthur: After dinner? Why not now?

Mother: I have to work. It's tax season.
