Arthur's First Day/Transcript

Intro
(Arthur wakes up in his bedroom. His alarm clock reads 6:57.)

Arthur: Do you ever wake up right before your alarm clock goes off? (He wakes up, and Pal jumps on him, causing him to chuckle happily.) I'm up, boy, I'm up.

(The door opens and the light turns off, revealing David Read behind them.)

David: Arthur, are you...?

Arthur: Yep, I'm awake.

(David gives Arthur a thumbs up, and then leaves.)

Arthur: It's like you body just knows it has to get up.

(He then gets out of bed. After the clock transition, Arthur is in the bathroom brushing his teeth.)

Arthur: Maybe it's because I'm nervous about today. What if I get a big wart right on my nose?

(A wart then pops up on Arthur's nose, and he gasps. The mirror then cracks. Suddenly, the Tough Customers appear behind him.)

Tough Customers: (laughing)

Binky: (points at Arthur) Look at warty-wart face.

Molly: It's bigger than his nose.

Rattles: It's like he's growing another head.

(The Tough Costumers then disappear, causing Arthur to look in the mirror to check for any warts on his nose.)

Arthur: Whew! At least I don't have to worry about that.

(He then continues brushing his teeth. After the toothbrush transition, he is putting his new school supplies in his backpack. He's wearing a green sweater with a big yellow stripe in the middle.)

Arthur: Or maybe I'm just excited. (He smells his new notebook and sighs.) Does anything smell better than a brand-new notebook? (He puts the notebook in his backpack.) And check it out, my new pencil case. Dark Bunny vs. Trashasaurus. (He puts his pen inside his pencil case and puts it in his backpack.) Maybe I'm a little bit of both - nervous and excited. (He walks out of his bedroom.) But there's one thing I know I am... Ready. Fourth grade, here I come! (He then walks down the stairs.)

Title Card: Arthur waits for D.W. to come down the stairs
Francine: (V.O.) "Arthur's First Day".

Episode
(Arthur is in the kitchen eating some Crunch Cereal. Pal is barking, and Kate is babbling while Jane feeds her some food. D.W. then comes in, and she's pretending to call the principal on the phone.)

D.W.: What's that? Are you sure? Okay, I'll tell her. Bye-bye. (She pretends to hang up.) Mom, kindergarten's been canceled!

Jane: (knowing what D.W.'s up to) Oh, really?

D.W.: Uh-huh. That was the principaltator of the school. He's calling everyone!

Jane: And why is it canceled?

(D.W. struggles to come up with a good lie.)

D.W.: Um, because... there's an outbreak of turkey pox! It's even worse than chicken pox. (fake coughs) Oh no, I think I got it from the phone.

(Jane takes the phone from D.W.)

Jane: Nice try, D.W., but you're still going to school.

(D.W. walks over to the table for some breakfast. She sits down angrily and pushes her cereal away from her.)

D.W.: (confused) Why can't I stay in pre-K? There's so much more to learn about the color green.

(Jane then sits down to feed Kate her breakfast.)

Jane: Because, you're too old for pre-K.

D.W.: I'm only five! (upset) Next thing you know, you'll want me to get a job.

David: Here, I made your favorite lunch: a bacon-lettuce-tomato sandwich, hold the bacon.

D.W.: (excited) With extra pickles?

David: Six of them. Now, will you please eat up and get dressed?

D.W.: Okay. But I want Arthur to take me to school!

Arthur: (coughs on his cereal) Me? Why?

D.W.: Because only babies get taken to school by their moms and dads, and I'm a big girl now. So you have to take me.

Jane: Will you, Arthur?

Arthur: (sighs) Okay. But no talking about Mary Moo Cow, or Nadine, or unicorns.

David: There, it's settled. Now, will you please eat up?

D.W.: I am. I just have to butter this toast.

(She hums while she takes her time buttering the toast in order for her to not go to school. David looks at his watch. Knowing what D.W. is up to, Jane takes the toast and quickly butters it. She groans and takes a bite out of the toast. After the toast transition, Arthur is tapping his foot and is annoyed at D.W. for taking so long.)

Arthur: D.W., come on! We're gonna be late.

D.W.: Coming, coming.

(She is walking down the stairs, but it is taking her a long time to drag the backpack down. She is also wearing a full blue outfit consisting of a dark blue dress, light blue shirt dress, blue leggings, and blue shoes.)

Arthur: You're bringing all that?

D.W.: It's my first day of kindergarten. Who knows what I'll need? What if they don't have glue? Or pillows? (worried) Or crayons?

Arthur: D.W., they have all those things at school.

D.W.: What about the lemon-yellow crayon? That one's really rare.

Arthur: Yes, yes, they even have that one. Can we go now?

(D.W. then struggles to drag the backpack across the floor.)

D.W.: Okay, but if you're wrong, there's going to be trouble.

(She still struggles to get the backpack out the door.)

Arthur: (sighs) Do you want some help?

D.W.: Oh, thanks for asking. Here you go.

(He grunts hard and puts D.W.'s ginormous backpack on his back. He also notices that it is strangely heavy.)

Arthur: Wow, what do you have in here, rocks?

D.W.: Just a few. Well? What are you waiting for? Let's go, you're making me late.

Arthur: (groans)

(He then closes the door, and he and D.W. walk to school together.)

D.W.: Okay, give me the lowdown.

Arthur: On what?

D.W.: (slightly bugged) School, of course. You have to tell me all the big-brother stuff you know. Why do you think I asked you to walk me?

Arthur: Oh. Well... just have fun.

D.W.: That's it? That's your advice? I know how to have fun. I've been doing it for five years. You're supposed to tell me important things, like how to spell cauliflower and do yo-yo tricks.

Arthur: Okay, okay, um... (wondering how to spell cauliflower) C-A-U-L...

(Someone then appears behind Arthur. It turns out to be Buster, who's vest and undershirt are the same colors as D.W.'s clothes: blue.)

Arthur: Buster, phew! Just in time.

Buster: (excited) Did you bring it?

Arthur: (confused) Hmm? Bring what?

D.W.: Um, in case you didn't notice, I'm down here.

Buster: Oh. Hey, D.W. (gives D.W. a thumbs up) Good luck on your first day.

D.W.: (surprised) Luck? I don't need luck, I need advice. You two are about as helpful as a broken shoelace.

(The boys look at D.W. for a brief moment before they continue their conversation.)

Buster: (still excited) Your lucky pencil, did you bring it?

Arthur: (gasps) Um, sorry, I forgot.

Buster: That's okay. (He then takes off his backpack.) I think I have enough charms for both of us.

(One at a time, he shows the lucky charms to Arthur and D.W.)

Buster: My horseshoe, my lucky yam yamlet, this rock shaped like Iowa...

(We then hear bells jingling. Buster takes out a hat and gasps.)

Buster: My lucky hat! I should be wearing this.

(He then puts on the lucky jester hat.)

D.W.: (wondering) What's all that stuff for?

Arthur: Today we find out if we're in the same class.

Buster: And we need all the good luck we can get.

D.W.: (laughing)

(She plays with the lucky jester hat for a little second.)

D.W. (thinks that they're not serious) You think all that mumbo-jumbo is going to help you?

Buster: It's not mumbo-jumbo. I prefer to think of it as hocus-pocus.

D.W.: Well, whatever it is, it probably won't work. There's only one lucky charm that never fails.

(She takes out a miniature version of her unicorn, Uni.)

D.W.: Mini-Uni. She has the power of all the love in the entire world, and she uses it to grant a child a single wish.

Arthur: (angry) Hey, you said you weren't going to talk about unicorns.

D.W.: (angry) You said I wasn't going to talk about unicorns. I never agreed to that.

Buster: (desperate) Can I have it? Name your price.

D.W.: No way! Anyway, you two should probably be split up. You're a bad influence on each other.

Arthur and Buster: (gasp)

Arthur: What? No, we're not.

(Buster then offers Arthur a lollipop.)

Buster: Lucky-First-Day lollipop?

Arthur: (gets a lollipop) Sure.

(They then eat their lollipops. It then shows someone walking. It turns out to be Francine walking out of her apartment. Oliver and Laverne are saying goodbye to Francine. Alex's bike bell rings. Francine is wearing red barrettes, an orange shirt, and red pants for her first day.)

Francine: (waves to her parents)

(Suddenly, Muffy's limo arrives right in front of Francine's road to take her to school. The brakes then squeak.)

Muffy: (excited) Yoo-hoo, Francine. Hop in.

Francine: Uh, school is right there. I was just going to walk.

Muffy: It's the first day of fourth grade. Let's arrive in style.

(Francine thinks for a moment. But her train of thought is interrupted.)

Muffy: Look, Bailey made mini-quiches, one for you, one for me.

(Francine sighs, and happily gets into the limo and buckles up. The limo then heads for school. For her first day, Muffy is wearing purple bows in her hair, and her dress is gray on top with a pink skirt. She is also wearing pink socks. The latter has a conversation with the former while they eat their mini-quiches.)

Muffy: (sighs) Can you believe summer is over? Camp Elysium was the best. We rode horses, swam every day...

Francine: I know, we shared a blog, remember? I read all your posts.

Muffy: (puts down her mini-quiche) Yeah, but I like saying it out loud.

(Francine looks out the window, and then turns around.)

Francine: Hey, do you think fourth grade will feel different?

Muffy: Of course. All the fun and games are over. Now we have to be responsible.

Francine: Responsible? It's just fourth grade.

Muffy: Which is practically middle school. (She leans over to Francine) It's okay, Francine. We all grow at our own pace.

Francine: Huh? (offended) What's that supposed to mean?

Muffy: Well, you might not be mature enough to take on the responsibilities of fourth grade, but I certainly am.

Francine: Oh, really?

Muffy: Really.

(She then accidentally presses a button with her elbow that makes disco music start to play and laser lights appear.)

Muffy: Whoa! Cool, I didn't even know that button was there. Whoo-hoo! Party!

Francine: Oh, yeah. (sarcastically) Can't imagine a more responsible person than you.

(While Francine watches Muffy unimpressed, Muffy keeps dancing in her seat to the music.)

Muffy: Hey!

(Then, the scene changes to Lakewood Elementary. The limo has dropped off Francine and Muffy, the three kids have arrived at school, and Emily and Marie-Helene are also there. Emily is wearing an orange dress on her first day.)

Emily: D.W.!

D.W.: Hi, Emily.

Arthur: Come on, I'll take you to your class.

D.W.: You can go now. I'll go with Emily and Marie-Helene.

(The bag then thuds on the ground, while Arthur and Buster head inside the school. Emily goes over to talk to D.W.)

Emily: Our very first day of kindergarten. Aren't you excited?

D.W.: No. I miss pre-K. It's better than K, because it has a "pre" in front of it.

(D.W. grabs the bag, and the bag rattles while she grunts. Emily and D.W. go up the stairs.)

Emily: Well, I think we're going to have a great time. What'd you pack for lunch?

D.W.: My favorite. BLT without the B.

(She grunts, and then stops dragging her backpack up the stairs.)

D.W.: (gasps) Wait a minute.

(She quickly looks through her backpack, gasps, and realizes she left her lunch.)

D.W.: (gasps) I forgot my lunch!

Emily: Oh. Well, you can have some of mine. Do you like pate?

D.W.: What's that?

Emily: Liver, but not really.

D.W.: (moaning) Liver. Can this day get any worse?

(The scene changes to the hallway, where the students are looking at the 4th grade class list.)

Sue Ellen: I got Mrs. Grimslid.

Binky: Where am I?

Sue Ellen: Who else has Mrs. Grimslid?

(The screen zooms in on Mr. Ratburn's class list to reveal Binky's name in the middle of Jenna and Alex's name.)

Binky: Oh, there I am. Whoo-hoo! I got Mr. Ratburn! Third time's the charm.

(He then walks away.)

Sue Ellen: Anybody have Mrs. Grimslid?

Francine: Yes! Muffy, we both have Mr. Ratburn again. This is going to be so great.

Muffy: Yay, we're in the same class! Not that I ever doubted it. After all, Daddy has contributed so much to this school.

Arthur: Excuse me!

Buster: Coming through.

(They look very nervous while they look through the 4th grade class list.)

Arthur+Buster: Come on, come on.

(When they find the 4th grade list, they both gasp, and looked upset and shocked. They stand there paralyzed while everyone else walks away. Buster drops his horseshoe on his foot.)

Buster: (without emotion) Ow.

(The reason why Arthur and Buster are shocked is revealed when the camera turns to both of the 4th grade class lists. It turns out that Arthur is in Mr. Ratburn's class and Buster is in Mrs. Grimslid's class. Only George, Sue Ellen, and Maria are in Buster's class, while most of their friends are in Arthur's class.)

Buster: I can't believe it.

Arthur: We've been together since... kindergarten, we won't be far from each other.

Buster: Right across the hall.

Arthur: I bet Mrs. Grimslid is nice.

Buster: Yep. The name says it all.

Arthur: I guess I should've brought my lucky pencil.

Buster: It's not your fault.

Arthur: Well, we should probably...

Buster: Oh, right, class.

(Arthur walks over to Mr. Ratburn's classroom, while Buster follows him.)

Arthur: Um, Buster?

Buster: Yeah?

Arthur: You're over there.

Buster: Huh?

(He realizes the fact that he is in Mrs. Grimslid's class.)

Buster: Oh. (chuckles and points to his feet) Bad feet.

Arthur: See you at lunch.

Buster: Right, lunch.

(They wave to each other, and they head into their classrooms. He sees the kids laughing and talking inside the classroom. He looks at the chalkboard which says, Mrs. Grimslid 4th Grade. Sue Ellen waves at Buster.)

Buster: Sue Ellen!

(Buster runs over to Sue Ellen. But, Mrs. Grimslid steps in front of him with a clipboard in her hand.)

Mrs. Grimslid: Are you Jacobs-comma-P-period?

Buster: No. I'm Baxter-comma-B-period.

(She checks his name off of her list.)

Mrs. Grimslid: You're over there. It's assigned seating. Helps me remember the names.

Buster: Oh.

(He and Sue Ellen sadly wave at each other.)

Buster: Okay.

Mrs. Grimslid: Aha, I guess you must be the class clown.

Buster: Huh? Me? No. Why...?

Mrs. Grimslid: The hat.

Buster: Oh, right. (chuckles nervously) Sorry.

(He heads over to a table with a Sikh boy looking at cards, a girl putting away her backpack, and another boy wearing a red cap.)

Buster: Hey. (They're confused.) I'm Buster.

Kevin: Hey-- Kevin.

(Buster takes off his hat, and the Sikh kid introduces himself.)

Samir: I'm Samir.

Buster: (handshakes Samir) Hi.

Samir: Want to see a magic trick?

Buster: Okay.

(Samir moves his cards around a little, and shows Buster all the cards.)

Samir: Pick any card. (chuckles) But don't tell me what it is.

(He picks the Jack of Diamonds.)

Samir: Now put it back in the deck.

(Buster does just that. Samir shuffles them, and pulls out the Eight of Hearts.)

Samir: Your card was the eight of hearts.

(He looks happy.)

Buster: No, it was...

Samir: No, no, no, no, no, don't tell me. I'll get it.

(He shuffles the card again.)

Cressida: (exhales) He didn't guess my card, either. I'm Cressida Billings-Thorpe. I skipped a grade. I can speak Italian. Non prendermi in giro. That means "You'd better not cheat off me."

Buster: (slightly scared of Cressida) Uh, okay. I won't.

(Samir then unexpectedly takes out another card.)

Samir: Six of clubs. (excited) I knew I'd get it.

Buster: (shakes his head) Sorry.

Samir: Aw, man.

(Buster opens his desk to put a book inside. But, it turns out there is a piece of paper inside with a key taped on it.)

Buster: Huh?

(He takes out the note.)

Buster: (reads the note) "This is half of a clue. The second is right beside you..."

(He looks around and surreptitiously puts the note in his pocket.)

Mrs. Grimslid: Okay, take out a sheet of paper. Let's see how many of you did the summer reading.

(The scene changes to D.W.'s kindergarten class, and they are sitting around.)

Ms. Dotty: Who here knows how to read their name?

(All the students raise their hands and exclaim that they can read their names.)

Ms. Dotty: That's wonderful. (She takes a name tag out of her pocket.) On your seats are your name tags. Go find them now.

(They all look around, and Ben and Cheikh find their name tags. Emily then finds her name tag.)

Emily: Here I am. (happily) Yay!

(D.W. finds her name tag, but finds out that her's says Dora. She gasps, and becomes VERY ANGRY. She walks over to her teacher, both bugged and really mad.)

D.W.: (angrily) Does this say "DORA" on it?

Ms. Dotty: That's you, right?

D.W.: NO! That's NOT me! My name is D.W. I HATE the name Dora! It's almost as bad as WINIFRED!

Ms. Dotty: It's okay, we can change it. But I was really looking forward to meeting you.

D.W.: (suspicious) Why?

Ms. Dotty: Because my name is Dora, too.

D.W.: (surprised) Really? I've never met another Dora.

Ms. Dotty: Me, neither. And I don't like it myself. That's why my friends call me Dotty. But you can call me Ms. Velez.

D.W.: Okay, Ms. Velez.

Ms. Dotty: See? I knew we would have a lot in common.

(She pokes D.W.'s nose.)

Ms. Dotty and D.W.: (both chuckling)

Emily: (struggling) I can't peel this off.

Ms. Dotty: (takes Emily's name tag and peels it) No problem, I've got it. There we go.

(Emily puts the name tag on, but it appears to not work on her type of clothes.)

Emily: (confused) Huh?

Ms. Dotty: (pulls another name tag out of her pocket) Let's try a different one.

(She writes Emily's name on it, peels off the sticker, and puts it on Emily's orange dress. But, it slips off again.)

Ms. Dotty: (confused) Huh, weird. That's okay. We all know who you are. Don't we, D.W.?

(D.W. then laughs at Emily. She looks down at her name tag, sighs, and it begins the start of her bad first day.)

(The scene then changes to Mr. Ratburn's classroom. Francine is talking to Muffy, Binky is playing with his paper airplane, and Arthur is at a table with Jenna, Brain, and Alex, whom Arthur sits next to.)

Arthur: (happily) Hey, Alex, I guess we're pod-mates.

Alex: (also happily) Yep.

(He then opens his desk and finds a sandwich inside with fungus on it.)

Alex: Ugh. What is this? (He takes out the sandwich.) A science experiment?

Arthur: (takes the sandwich from Alex) Oh, that must have been Buster's. I think he was saving it for his food cabinet. I'll give it back to him.

(He thinks for a moment.)

Arthur: Actually, I don't think he'll miss it.

(He quickly puts it in the trashcan.He then notices something.)

Arthur: Wow!

(Alex pulls out a big blue book.)

Arthur: That's a really big book.

(The camera shows the cover of a book called The Dimension of Darkness: The Multiverse Series: Book 2.)

Arthur: (curious) "The Dimension of Darkness"?

Alex: Yeah, it's book two in the Multiverse Series.

Arthur: (still curious) The Multi-wha?

Alex: (explains it to Arthur) Multiverse. It's a series about these parallel universes.

Arthur: (impressed) Whoa.

Alex: Yeah, it's really good.

(Arthur leans to the side a little bit to see the pages better.)

Alex: (points to two boys) It's about these twin brothers, Caleb and Sam, who are kids, but geniuses, and they do this experiment that opens up a portal to another dimension.

Arthur: (impressed) Cool.

Alex: (keeps explaining) They go through the portal, but they wind up in different universes.

(It shows Caleb underwater surrounded by whales and unfinished buildings.)

Alex: Like in this book, Caleb lands in a world where whales have cities.

Arthur: I like the drawings. They're so detailed.

Alex: (turns the page) Yeah. Check this one out.

(The page reveals Sam in Mirropolis. He is surrounded by a baby, adult, and grandpa version of himself.)

Alex: This is Mirropolis, where every single person on the planet is a different version of yourself, but at a different time in your life.

Arthur: (spooked) Ah! Looks kind of scary.

Alex: That one is. Sam's stuck there now. The brothers are always trying to get back to each other, but they keep getting trapped in different places.

(He closes the book, and puts it in his desk.)

Arthur: (happy) Wow. I wonder why I've never heard of this series.

Alex: A lot of people haven't. I just found it 'cause I'm a really big reader.

Arthur: (surprised) Oh, me, too.

Alex: I can lend you book one if you want. It's in my locker.

Arthur: Sure.

(He and Alex realize something.)

Arthur: It's weird. You and I have been in the same class for years, but we've never really had a conversation.

Alex: I know.

(The door opens, revealing Mr. Ratburn behind it.)

Mr. Ratburn: Before we get started, is there anybody who'd like to sign up for the Big Buddy program?

Binky: (curious) What's that?

Mr. Ratburn: (explains to the class) It's when a fourth grader volunteers to help a kindergartener get accustomed to the school.

Muffy: (Raises hand) Ooh! Ooh! See, I told you Francine. 4th grade is all about responsibility.

Francine: (worrying) Are you sure you want to do this?

Muffy: Of course I'm sure. Who's more responsible than me?

(Worried about what Muffy is getting into, Francine raises her hand.)

Mr. Ratburn: Excellent. See me after class, and I'll give you information on your Little Buddies.

Muffy: (excited) Yay! We are going to be so good at this.

(However, Francine has her doubts. The setting then changes to Ms. Dotty's classroom, where D.W. is building a block tower and two kids named Ryan and Fatima are watching, while Emily is drawing a picture.)

Ryan: Wow, that's the biggest tower ever.

D.W.: This thing? (scoffs) I built towers TWICE this tall in pre-K.

Will you be my friend?

(D.W. wants to figure out if Fatima would be a great friend.)

D.W.: (unsure) What are your feelings about Mary Moo Cow?

Fatima: I love Mary Moo Cow!

D.W.: And how about Bionic Bunny?

(Fatima is in disgust at this concept.)

D.W.: You passed.

(This means D.W. and Fatima are now friends. Fatima is happy.)

D.W.: Okay, we can be friends.

(D.W. then turns around to find Emily mad at something. The latter gasps, and is trying to use a green marker. D.W. then walks over to her friend.)

D.W.: Hey, Emily. This kindergarten business isn't too bad, right?

Emily: Yeah, I guess. Except I can't find a green marker that works. I need one for the trees.

D.W.: Why don't you use those paints?

Emily: Huh?

(The camera then turns to two cans of paint, one green and one red.)

Emily: Oh, okay.

(She then takes the green can of paint. She tries to open it, but the lid is stuck. She groans. She then opens it, but it spills all over her, Ryan, Timmy, and Fatima, who are very mad at Emily.)

Fatima: Hey!

Timmy: She got paint on me.

Ryan: Not nice!

(Ms. Dotty is helping Liam, and she realizes something is wrong.)

Emily: Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Uh... uh...

(Ms. Dotty then quickly gets a paper towel.)

Ms. Dotty: It's okay, Emma.

Emily: It's Emily!

Ms. Dotty: Emily, oh, sorry! Don't worry, I'll take you to the bathroom to clean you up just as soon as the bell rings.

(Someone then comes in. It's revealed to be David.)

David: Oh, hi. I'm D.W.'s father. She forgot her lunch.

D.W.: Daddy!

David: Hey there. Here's your lunch. It was on the kitchen table.

D.W.: Oh, goody. I don't think I could've eaten Emily's liver sandwich. Blech!

(Ms. Dotty cleans Emily up.)

Ryan: (disgusted) You brought a liver sandwich? Eew.

Emily: It's pate. My nanny makes it for me. It's really good.

D.W.: What's in there? Is that for me, too?

David: Oh, since it's the first day of school, I thought everyone might like a treat. Mini-cupcakes.

(The students then cheered. Ms. Dotty then looks at David and wants to know if the cupcakes are healthy.)

David: They're gluten-free, very low sugar.

Fatima: (happily) I like your daddy. D.W.'s the best.

Kids: Hooray for D.W.! D.W.'s the best.

(While everybody else cheers for D.W., Emily stares down at the ground, crosses her arms, and appears to be very sad. The bell then rings, and kids head out of Ms. Grimslid's class. Some kids are holding books. Samir is still trying to figure out Buster's card.)

Samir: Was this it?

(He pulls out the Three of Hearts, which isn't Buster's card.)

Buster: (shakes his head) Sorry. Do you want me to just tell you?

Samir: No, no, I'll get it someday. Only 49 cards to go.

(Buster then pulls the key out of his pocket.)

Buster: Hey, Samir, do you know anything about this key?

(Samir then inspects the key.)

Samir: No, why?

(Buster then pulls out the note.)

Buster: I found it in my desk along with this note.

Samir: (reads the note) "This is half of a clue. The second is right beside you..."

Buster: (explaining) You were sitting right beside me, so I thought, maybe...

Samir: Actually, I don't think I'd even looked inside my desk yet. Let's check it out.

(They both run to Ms. Grimslid's classroom to look inside Samir's desk. They open it to find a note inside with the number 39 on it.)

Samir: (gasps) Look!

(He finds the 39 note and flips it around.)

Samir: (reads the note) "Together you can unlock the mystery." What does it mean?

Buster: (confused) I don't have a clue.

(Samir looks at the clue for a minute and thinks.)

Samir: Well, you do have a clue--or half of one. That's what your note said.

Buster: You're right.

(He then takes out the key again.)

Buster: We have a key.

Samir: And a number. The key must unlock something.

Buster: Right, something with a number.

(They both think and then realize...)

Buster and Samir: (gasping) A locker!

(They both then run out of the classroom, and try to find the right locker. The camera changes to show them in the locker hall, and one locker has a strange lock on it.)

Samir: (counting) 36, 37... Here it is.

(They stop at Locker 39, which looks kinda strange.)
