Arthur's Lost Library Book/Transcript

'Arthur': The library's great. It's got all kinds of music to listen to…story time for kids.  D.W., Bear, Rabbit: Aggh!  Nigel Ratburn: Whoa! I'm not eating that. It's spoiled!  Arthur: And books for everybody.  Brain: Did you know that chalk is derived from fossilised seashells?  Francine: I'm reading about sports rules so I know officially how much better I am than everybody else. Unless you would like to challenge me?  Arthur: Sorry Francine, Buster just called me.  Buster: No, I didn't.  Arthur: What are you reading?  Buster: A joke book. Hey, what do you call two banana peels?  Arthur: I don't know.  Buster: A pair of slippers!  Arthur: I love it here, but last week I never thought they'd let me in again.  Paige Turner: Sshh!   <p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Chapter 1.

You're mad cos you were too slow. <p class="MsoNormal"> All: Oh, man! <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Chapter 2. One Week Later. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Jane Read: Arthur! <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: What? What, Mom? <p class="MsoNormal"> Jane Read: I found this in the laundry. You have to be careful with library books. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: I AM careful. <p class="MsoNormal"> Jane Read: Aren't they due soon? <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Next week. I still have a couple left to read. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I'll give you two of these for one of those, and two more for that one. <p class="MsoNormal"> Buster: Is that one of your library books? <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Oh, yeah. How did it get out here? <p class="MsoNormal"> Buster: Was The Mysterious Hand good? <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Oh, wow! I forgot I had that one. <p class="MsoNormal"> Buster: No-one else did. There's a list to take it out after you return it. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: I'll start it tonight. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Hmm! <p class="MsoNormal"> D.W.: What are you hiding from? <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: I'm not. I'm looking for The Mysterious Hand. <p class="MsoNormal"> D.W.: There it is. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Ow! Where is it? <p class="MsoNormal"> D.W.: Over here! <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: D.W.! <p class="MsoNormal"> D.W.: Mom, Arthur's chasing me! <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Where did I put it? <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">David Read: I looked at those books when you brought them home. You didn't have that one. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: I didn't? Someone could have taken it when I was leaving the library. This calls for detective work. I have to call Buster. Wait! I can't call Buster. He's a suspect. Everybody's a suspect. No, not everybody. There's one person who would never want to read that book, or any book. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Binky: You want me to help you find out who took some dopey book? <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: You're the only one who can help me, Binky. You don't even read comic strips. <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: If they were good, they'd be on TV. What do you want me to do? <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: We have to cleverly narrow down the suspects. <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: Do I get a badge? <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: No. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Chapter 3. The Investigation. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">All: Aggh! <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Hi, Brain. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I've narrowed it down to three suspects - Buster Baxter, Francine Franski and Sue Ellen Armstrong. How did you do? <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: Everyone I talked to was afraid. Very suspicious. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Why don't I focus on my suspects and you focus on yours? <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: Right. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Do you like my drawing? <p class="MsoNormal"> Sue Ellen: This looks like The Mysterious Hand. I just finished reading it. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: I should've known it was you! Just give me the book back and I won't tell anyone. <p class="MsoNormal"> Sue Ellen: It's MY book. I had to buy it because you had the library's only copy. Hey! <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Francine: Arthur, I didn't take that book. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: What do you mean? <p class="MsoNormal"> Francine: Muffy says you think I stole it. But I think you lost it. I told you you had too many books. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Binky: Where is it? <p class="MsoNormal"> George: What? <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: Come on, hand it over. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Hey, Binky. You have to tell them WHAT you want. <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: If they took it, they'll know. There's another suspect. Hey, you! <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Arthur, Francine says you think I stole The Mysterious Hand. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: It's gone. You wanted it. <p class="MsoNormal"> Buster: You probably lost it. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: I've looked absolutely everywhere. <p class="MsoNormal"> Buster: Maybe giant mutant mole people took it! <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Oh, right(!) <p class="MsoNormal"> Giant Mutant Mole Woman: I don't have it. You got it? <p class="MsoNormal"> Giant Mutant Mole Man: No. <p class="MsoNormal"> Buster: All I can say is, you'd better find it because we all want to read it. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Chapter 4. It's Lost. OK? Face it. You lost it. <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Echoey Voices: 'We know you're in there. We know you're in there.' <p class="MsoNormal"> Police in helicopter: Throw out the book gently, son, and no-one will get hurt. You can't escape the long arm of the law. <p class="MsoNormal">[ARTHUR SCREAMS] <p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Oh, no! <p class="MsoNormal"> Paige Turner: We have special rules for little boys who lose library books. <p class="MsoNormal"> David and Jane Read: Huh?! <p class="MsoNormal"> Jane Read: Arthur, what's this? <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: It's how I have to check out library books now. [HE SCREAMS] <p class="MsoNormal"> Paige Turner: Next time, don't make me use the crank. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: (screams) <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: You're not going to find the book in your cereal. <p class="MsoNormal"> David Read: You'll have to pay for the book. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Fifteen dollars?! That's three action figures! Oh-h! <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Paige Turner: Did you enjoy all the books? <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: All except the one I lost - The Mysterious Hand. I'll have to pay for it. <p class="MsoNormal"> Paige Turner: It's not lost. That boy just returned it. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Huh? Binky, you found it! You found it! Who had it? <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: A boy from school. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Which boy? <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: Me. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Very funny! No, who really had it? <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: Me! I found it on the sidewalk. I started reading it. It's really good. I never thought it was the one you lost because you'd never throw a library book on the ground. But when no one else had it, I figured it might be the same one. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Why didn't you tell me? <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: I thought you'd laugh at me. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: I wouldn't laugh at you. <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: You just did. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Oh, yeah. Sorry. <p class="MsoNormal"> Binky: Don't blab it around that I'm reading books...or else! <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Since I didn't read that book, can I check it out again? <p class="MsoNormal"> Paige Turner: Sorry, you can't renew it because there's a waiting list. <p class="MsoNormal"> Arthur: Oh-h! <p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: The End! Scared you, didn't I? Wooaah!
