Arthur and Francine try to find out why D.W. has been in a bad mood for days. During the course of the episode, D.W. takes her wrath out on everybody around her (those who don't deserve it). In the end, it is discovered that she wasn't invited to a girl's birthday party.

Goofs

 * In the flashback where D.W. was screaming at her father that she doesn't want to feel any better, she would wake up her sister Kate and cause her to cry for all the yelling and door slamming, since she and Kate both share a room.

Quotes

 * D.W.: You're just making me go to bed because you don't want me around! You don't love me, you wished I wasn't even born!
 * Dad: (kisses D.W. goodnight) Sleep tight, D.W. Let's hope you'll feel better in the morning.


 * D.W.: (opens the door)  I won't feel better in the morning! (slams her door but then opens it again) I won't! I won't! I WON'T! (slams her door again but then opens it once more) I WON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (slams her door for the last time)

 
 * Francine: (To Arthur about what he said) Okay. I will. (At Arthur's house) Thanks Mrs. Read.
 * Mom: (To Francine) My pleasure.
 * (D.W. is taking a bunch of fries)
 * Mrs. Read: D.W., one at a time!


 * D.W.: You're always picking on me! You never pick on anyone else! Only me! Me! ME!


 * Mrs. Read: [shakes her head] You know that's not true, D.W. Everyone has the right to eat politely and that includes you.


 * D.W.: That does NOT include me! You NEVER include me. You always make me stay home whenever there's anything fun! Only Arthur gets to have fun! Only Arthur....


 * Francine: D.W., can I ask you a question?


 * D.W.: Maybe.


 * Francine: What's the matter with you?

 * Arthur: (To Francine) That was great! You really solved the problem!


 * Francine: (About D.W.) I didn't think she'd get so upset.


 * Mr. Read: It's not your fault, Francine.


 * Francine: (To Arthur & his parents) May I be excused?


 * Brain: (To Arthur) So, did Francine figure out what's wrong with D.W.?


 * Arthur: (To The Brain) No, it only made her worse! Last night she slammed so many doors and I thought we'd get arrested!


 * D.W.: I will NOT be silent! I'll be as loud as I want and..and you can't stop me!
 * Policeman: We'll be back up, fast!
