The Shore Thing/Transcript

Arthur Read: Looking forward to something neat is always fun, especially when you end up with something that's better than what you expected. Like when Brain and I had to make dessert for a class party.

The Brain: These will be the best chocolate-banana splits ever!

Arthur: Oh, no. The ice cream melted. Now what do we do?

The Brain: Chocolate-banana shakes! What else?

Arthur: (V.O.) Or Buster's best Christmas ever.

Young Buster: Wow! Thanks, Santa! (his dad removes the white beard) Daddy! You made it home for Christmas!

Arthur: (V.O.) Or when Pal finally got his new chew-toy but had more fun with the shopping bag.

(Back to the present)

Binky Barnes: Hey! I got something!

Arthur: Wow, Binky! Real gold!

Binky: Who needs that? I found a quarter.

Arthur: See? You just never know.

Buster: (V.O.) The Shore Thing!

Pal: (barks)

Arthur: Hi!

(Back to the story)

Arthur: (pretending to be a shark) Grrr! Gotcha!

David Read: Arthur, what's this all about?

Arthur: What else? Aqualand.

David Read: Aqua... what?

D.W. Read: Aqualand. Come look!

Arthur: Aren't you coming?

David Read: I have to get this thing in the oven, Arthur.

Arthur: Dad, Aqualand! TV, Now!

D.W.: (with Arthur watching an Aqualand commercial on TV) See, Dad? That's Aqualand.
