David Read: Door!

Jane Read:   D.W., sit.

D.W.: Nadine's hungry too. Here, Nadine.

David: Trays?

Jane: Closet.

David: Smoke?

Jane: Rolls!

D.W.: Here you go Nadine, you can have some of my cauliflower. Mom, Nadine wants her bisgetti cut up too.

David: Coming through.

D.W.: Dad! You're on her tail!

David: Wooaah!

[THE BOWL OF PASTA FLIES IN THE AIR AND THEN STOPS IN MID-AIR]

Arthur: If you don't have a little sister, you probably think it's really cool or something, but D.W. is a different story. It's bad enough when she gives her friends tours of my room.

D.W.: And here's his teddy Stanley. He doesn't want anyone to find out that he still sleeps with it! And now for the really good stuff. Up here's the secrets box he thinks nobody knows about.

Arthur: But now that she has a friend no-one can see, it's even worse!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Oh, Nadine! Look what you did to Arthur.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Nadine says she's sorry, Daddy.

<p class="MsoNormal">David: That's all right. Now,just finish your dinner and no more monkey business.

<p class="MsoNormal">Nadine: I can't come here any more, D.W. because your brother hates me. I know it.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: He does not, Nadine. Arthur really, really likes you. I gave him a picture of you to hang on his wall.

<p class="MsoNormal">Nadine: Really?!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">[PHONE RINGS]

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I got it! Hello!

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Channel 4, quick!

<p class="MsoNormal">Commercial announcer: 'Coming to Wonder World this Saturday. You'll twirl, whirl, and hurl! You pick up the speed on the all-new Hurl-A-Whirl. Motion sickness bags provided.'

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Barf bags!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Can I go to the opening of the Hurl-A-Whirl on Saturday? Please!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Arthur, do you know you have bisgetti on your ear.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: So, can I go? Can I, Dad?

<p class="MsoNormal">David: I'll think about it, Arthur, but right now... Aha!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: But, Dad, barf bags are provided!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: I want a barf bag! I want a barf bag too! Let me go!

<p class="MsoNormal">David: OK, OK, sure.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: All right!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Nadine too?

<p class="MsoNormal">David: Nadine too.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Nadine?! She'll wreck everything! Having D.W. hanging around is bad enough. Say, do you want that cherry cobbler? I'll trade half my tuna sandwich.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: OK.

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Thanks! If her invisible friend's there, it's going to be a gazillion times worse.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Hmm!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Arthur, Nadine's scared! Stop the ride! Stop the ride! [SCREAMS]   Nadine, see what you did?

<p class="MsoNormal">Muffy: Who's she talking to? I don't see anybody!

<p class="MsoNormal">Francine: Pretend friend. What babies! Arthur's a baby!

<p class="MsoNormal">Muffy and Francine: [CHANT] Baby! Baby! Baby!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: We gotta stop her!

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Prunella, you like reading, right? Trade my library card for some cake. Don't worry. I'll work something out. Here, have some of my chocolate swirls. Swirls?! Wait a minute - that's it!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: D.W., if you can't take this, you'll never take the Hurl-A-Whirl.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Do your worst!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I think it's working!

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Yeah!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: How many's that, Nadine?

<p class="MsoNormal">Nadine: 60.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: 60, only 40 left. I'll do some headfirst - it's harder.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Feeling any better now?

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Yeah...I think.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: How long's it been?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: This is nothing. If you're feeling sick now...

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: I'm not sick. It's getting late. You know how Buster's mother worries.

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Ooops! Oh, no! Gotta go. Call you tomorrow!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: It's good to test me. I may not have been ready for the Twirly-Whirl.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: It's the Hurl-A-Whirl, D.W. How can you go on it if you can't say the name?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: I AM going on the Hurly-Whirl! I proved I'm brave enough, didn't I?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: OK, OK.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Nadine will probably scream like crazy. They might have to stop the ride for her. Hope there's bisgetti tonight. Nadine's hungry.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Hey, who knows? Maybe she'll forget about it. It's not like she's camped out all morning, waiting to go to Wonder World with us.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Actually...If she left Nadine behind, it might not be so bad.

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: There's only one thing left. Pretend to be sick.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Hey, that's it!

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Everybody will think you're just scared of the Hurl-A-Whirl.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Not me!

<p class="MsoNormal">Nadine: Can I stop spinning now, D.W.?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: If you can't take this, you'll never be able to take the Hurly-Whirl. Keep spinning.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Hey, D.W.!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Don't bother trying anything funny, Arthur. I'm coming and that's that.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I know, I know. Say, does Nadine look funny to you?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: That's a chair. Nadine's over there, spinning.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Oh, sure. I meant, did you notice those spots on her face?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Spots?! What spots?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Didn't the Tibble twins have chicken pox? Maybe you brought the germs home from preschool?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Chicken pox?! Oh, no, poor Nadine! You'll have to stay home. I'll go get the thermometer.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I'll understand if you want to stay with her.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Nice try!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">David: It's just for a few hours. Nadine will be fine.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Dad, we have to go and get her. She's lonely.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: We can't go back now. We're already here. Everyone's here. Anyway, Nadine's just pretend!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: If you say she's pretend, how come you said you could see her?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I lied!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Then she's not sick. Let's get her.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Only babies have invisible friends.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.:   Hear that?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Everyone's waiting for me. She wants to ruin everything.

<p class="MsoNormal">David: Wait a minute. Shhh! Do you hear something? It's coming from in here.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: What is it?

<p class="MsoNormal">David: It's Nadine!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: You came, Nadine! You came!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Oh, aren't we lucky(?)

<p class="MsoNormal">Jane: Tickets, everybody.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Can I go in?

<p class="MsoNormal">Jane: Remember - you only have a few orange tickets. Use them carefully.

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Are you ready?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Let's go!

<p class="MsoNormal">Wonder World Worker: Two orange tickets, please. Hands and arms inside all the time. And here.

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: What are these?

<p class="MsoNormal">Wonder World Worker: Motion sickness bags.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur and Buster: Barf bags!

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Oh, we're gonna die.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Let's pick our speed. Whirl, twirl, blend, whip, liquify!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur and Buster: Liquify!

<p class="MsoNormal">[THEY SCREAM]

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Oh, I wish I could keep this thing, but I think my mom would freak.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: What's next?

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: I know!

<p class="MsoNormal">[THEY RIDE THE RIDE AGAIN]

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: I could ride that thing forever.

<p class="MsoNormal">Francine: There you are! Wanna go on the Hurl-A-Whirl?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: We used our last tickets. I only have green left. They're just for the merry-go-round.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Arthur! Arthur!

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Well, see you around, Arthur.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: We were looking everywhere for you. Nadine has something to show you.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Let's go on the merry-go-round.

<p class="MsoNormal">Francine: Who's Nadine?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Race you. ..See you later.

<p class="MsoNormal">Francine: But I don't want to!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Arthur, wait, it's important.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Francine and I are busy.

<p class="MsoNormal">Francine: What's the matter with you?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I... Oh, well, you'll see in a second.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Arthur, Nadine found these. They're tickets for the Hurly-Whirl. We found them. Nadine said, "Give them to Arthur." She wants to be your friend.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: She did? ..She does?

<p class="MsoNormal">Francine: Well, what are you waiting for? Let's get in line.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: See you later.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Just a sec. I'll be right back. There's an extra ticket, D.W.. Wanna ride with us? You know you're tough enough.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Oh, I know I'm tough enough, only...(Nadine thinks she might get scared.)   We'll go when she's more grown up.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: It's good she has a friend like you.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Plus, if we keep looking, we might find tickets for the merry-go-round, since you love it so much!

<p class="MsoNormal">Francine: Arthur, hurry up!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Coming! ..Here, take my green tickets. When I get back, I'll go on any ride you and Nadine want.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Any ride?

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Me and my big mouth!

<p class="MsoNormal">Nadine: Arthur sure is lucky to have YOU for a little sister, D.W.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: You're so right, Nadine. Because you've been a good girl, I'll give you a tour of his room. Hang on, Nadine.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Huh?
