| ''Arthur sits at the piano in his pajamas and practices ‘The Entertainer’. He makes plenty of mistakes and eventually slumps on the keys.'' | | '''Arthur:''' oh oh! why you not tell me? |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' (sighs) | | '''Buster:'''it an accident I don't want to hurt your feelings! |
|
| |
|
| ''His dad looks in carrying a basket of laundry.'' | | '''Arthur:''' A C+?! |
|
| |
|
| '''Mr. Read:''' That was pretty good. Keep practicing and I’m sure you’ll have it down in time for the recital. | | '''Buster:''' My omlet got an A+! |
|
| |
|
| ''He leaves.''
| | [[Category: Unfinished Transcripts]] |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' No, I won’t. I actually think I’m getting worse.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur walks up the stairs while addressing the camera.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Mom and Dad are always really supportive, but sometimes I wish they’d just tell me the truth.
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. runs up to him.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I’ll tell you the truth. Those pajamas need a wash. I can smell them from here.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur brushes his teeth. When he wants to leave the bathroom, D.W. is waiting for him.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' What? No flossing? You’ll have dentures in high school.
| |
| | |
| ''She follows him.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Did you know you talk in your sleep? I can hear it through the wall. Bla bla bla, Mr. Ratburn, bla bla bla.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Okay, I get it! Now go to bed!
| |
| | |
| ''They have reached Arthur’s bed. D.W. runs out.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' (yawns)
| |
| | |
| ''He turns off the light, gets into bed and puts his glasses on the nightstand. ''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Maybe I was wrong. Sometimes the truth can be a real pain.
| |
| | |
| ''He closes his eyes and opens them to see D.W.’s face right in front of him. ''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' You also snore like a lawnmower.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' D.W.!
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' (giggles)
| |
| | |
| ''She runs out.''

| |
| | |
| ''Arthur adds a pipecleaner figure to a diorama in his room.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' It’s a prehistoric family. See? There’ the cavemama, the cavebaby and that’s the cavedaddy. He’s hunting.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Is he hunting a giant dustbunny?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' What? No, that’s a wooly mammoth.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Oh, I see it now.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' What do you think?
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' It’s pretty cool.
| |
| | |
| ''He pulls out a smartphone and shows a picture of a small sculpture.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Hey, check out what I made. Smilodon, the saber-tooth cat. Roar!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Wow, that’s really good.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' And the best part is, I made him out of marzipan. He’s edible. As soon as I get you back from Mr. Ratburn, you’re going into Buster’s belly.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Do you think mine is terrible? Maybe I should work on it more.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' It’s fine. I think it’s very creative.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Okay. Let’s go watch Bionic Bunny.
| |
| | |
| ''They leave the room. The cavedaddy falls over.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''A few days later, Arthur’s diorama stands on Mr. Ratburn’ desk with a note saying “C+” attached to it. Other kids are also picking up their dioramas.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' A C+?!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' You should be happy. That looks like D.W. made it.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Hey, my saber-toothed cat got an A-!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Can I see it?
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' (swallows) Too late.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur walks home with Francine.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I probably should have done more work on it, but Buster said it looked okay.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Well, of course Buster said that.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' What do you mean?
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' He never disagrees with you. You’re his best friend.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Buster disagrees with me.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Oh yeah? Can you name one time.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Well… Not at the moment, but…
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' I’m not criticizing him. It’s a fact. He always tells you just what you wanna hear.
| |
| | |
| ''She walks off and Arthur runs after her.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The Grebelings play against Mighty Mountain. Arthur gets a hit and runs, but the ball gets to first base before him.''
| |
| | |
| '''Umpire:''' You’re out!
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur runs to the dugout.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' That’s so unfair! I was safe!
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Totally! You could have read the whole Henry Skreever series before that kid got the ball.
| |
| | |
| ''He walks to home plate. Francine smiles and shakes her head.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Told ya.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Told me what?
| |
| | |
| '''Umpire:''' Strike one!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' You were out by a mile! Buster just doesn’t want you to feel bad
| |
| | |
| '''Umpire:''' Strike two!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Well, I agree with Buster. I wasn’t out!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Think what you want. I’m just being honest with you.
| |
| | |
| '''Umpire:''' Strike three!
| |
| | |
| ''Buster returns to the dugout.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Making us play against robots is unfair!
| |
| | |
| ''The Mighty Mountain pitcher pitches and Francine gets a hit.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' I’m sure that pitcher has a bionic arm.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Did you really think I was safe?
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Sure! Hey, at least you hit the ball. I didn’t even see it.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''At night, Arthur looks at the diorama in his room. He is wearing pajamas.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' It really is terrible!
| |
| | |
| ''The wooly mammoth falls over.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Why didn’t Buster tell me.
| |
| | |
| ''In his imagination, he is a caveman sharpening a rock. Buster stands on a ladder and paints stickmen and a U.F.O. on the cave wall.''
| |
| | |
| '''Cave Arthur:''' Hmm! Oh, look! Me make spear! Is good?
| |
| | |
| '''Cave Buster:''' Is best spear ever! No move! Me paint you!
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur poses with the spear, the tip of which is much too big. A trumpeting noise is heard outside. ''
| |
| | |
| '''Cave Buster:''' Food! Go hunt!
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur runs outside where a wooly mammoth is grazing.''
| |
| | |
| '''Cave Arthur:''' Whaaaa!
| |
| | |
| ''He runs at the mammoth and throws the spear which hits the ground right in front of him.''
| |
| | |
| '''Cave Arthur:''' Uh oh! Aaahh!
| |
| | |
| ''He runs off. The mammoth looks angry and runs after him.'' ''Arthur runs into the cave and the mammoth gets stuck in the entrance. Arthur and Buster hide behind a stone table.''
| |
| | |
| '''Cave Arthur:''' Spear terrible. Why you no tell me?
| |
| | |
| '''Cave Buster:''' You look so happy. Me no want you feel like doofus.
| |
| | |
| ''A shadow falls on them as the mammoth manages to squeeze inside.''
| |
| | |
| '''Both:''' Augh!
| |
| | |
| ''The fantasy ends. Arthur throws the diorama in the trash.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The next morning, Arthur runs into the kitchen where his dad is doing the dishes.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Hey dad. Do you know where we put that shirt Uncle Fred gave me? The one he brought back from Las Vegas?
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Probably in the attic. What do you want with that?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I need it for an experiment.
| |
| | |
| ''He leaves. His dad looks surprised.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Buster walks into the ice-cream shop where Arthur is sitting wearing a coat.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Hey, nice coat. Are we playing spy?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' No, I was a little chilly, but it’s warmed up now.
| |
| | |
| ''He opens the coat and shows a hideous pink and green T-shirt showing Las Vegas. Buster looks disgusted.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' (gasp)!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Oh, what do you think of my new shirt?
| |
| | |
| ''The other customers look horrified.''
| |
| | |
| '''Young Woman:''' (screams)
| |
| | |
| '''Mother:''' Sweet Jackson Bollock!
| |
| | |
| '''Baby:''' (cries)
| |
| | |
| '''Young Man:''' (coughs) Check please!
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Ahaah! My eyes!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Well, pretty cool, huh?
| |
| | |
| ''The others move away from him. Buster stares at the shirt.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Um… well, it… it kind of matches your sundae.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Aha, you’re lying!! No one likes this shirt, except Uncle Fred and he’s colorblind!
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Okay, you’re right, it’s horrible! Now please, for the love of humanity, hide that thing!
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur closes his coat and walks to the door.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Francine was right. You don’t tell me the truth! You just say what you think I wanna hear.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' That’s not true!
| |
| | |
| ''He runs outside, after Arthur. ''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' It’s not lying! I just wanna be agreeable!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Why?
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' I don’t know. I guess I just hate fighting.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Buster, saying how you really feel isn’t fighting. You can tell me anything. You’re my best friend.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' You’re right. From now on, I’ll say what I really think.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Phew. Great! I’m glad that’s over with. Let’s go back to my house and play Curse of the Moomies. I just downloaded a new level.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Okay. Actually, I don’t really like that game.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' What?? But we played it like a million times.
| |
| | |
| ''They walk down the street.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' And it’s always the same. You zap the zombie bats, then the zombie snakes, then the zombie cows. After a while it’s like doing homework.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' But it’s a new level. There are zombie hippos.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Sorry. You wanted me to be honest.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I do, I do. Okay, so what do you wanna do?
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Take a shower? I feel like I have to wash the image of that shirt off my eyeballs. I’ll call you later.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur looks surprised.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Later, Arthur practices the piano when the doorbell rings. Arthur opens to Buster, who is holding a book called “The Gourmet Ghost”.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Hey! Here’s that Scare Your Pants Off Book you lent me.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Oh yeah, “The Gourmet Ghost”. I really liked it. Until the end.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Are you kidding? The end was the best part.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' But the chef wasn’t even a ghost, just an angry dishwasher.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Yeah, an angry dishwasher who put spider eggs in the soup. I’m never eating gazpacho again!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I thought it was disappointing.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' I thought it was great.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Really?
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Really.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Well, I did read it kind of quickly. Maybe it was better than I thought.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' You don’t have to say that. We just disagree.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Right.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Hey, wanna go for a ride?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I have to practice for the recital.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Oh, okay. Well… knock ‘em dead.
| |
| | |
| ''He leaves.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You too. I mean… have a wonderful ride.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''There is a piano recital in the theater. Arthur plays “The Entertainer” on a grand piano on stage. After he finishes, the audience cheers and Arthur takes a bow.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''After the recital, Arthur talks to Francine outside the theater.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Great job! If you played baseball as good as you do piano, we might actually win some games.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Thanks, Francine.
| |
| | |
| ''Francine leaves and Buster comes over.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Hey, that was amazing.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Hêhê. You’re not just saying that, are you?
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Of course not.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I was so nervous. I can’t believe I got through it without making a single mistake.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Um…
| |
| | |
| ''He looks uncomfortable.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' What?
| |
| | |
| ''Buster shrugs.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You’re not saying something!
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Well, you did make one or two mistakes.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' No, I didn’t!
| |
| | |
| ''Several kids look at him.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Just at the beginning. But it was still amazing.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You’re only saying that because you’re still angry from our fight!
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Fight? We didn’t have a fight. We just disagreed about that book.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You know, there is a difference between being honest and being mean.
| |
| | |
| ''He walks off in a huff.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' But… that’s not fair. You said… Aw…
| |
| | |
| ''He walks away sadly.''
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur gets into the car. While buckling up, he sees Buster getting into the Baxtermobile. As it drives past the Reads’ car, Buster waves but Arthur ignores him.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The Reads drive home.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Did I make a few mistakes?
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' I didn’t hear any. The whole thing was wonderful.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Except for the beginning.
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' D.W.!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' No, it’s okay. I wanna know. What was wrong with the beginning?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I’ve had to listen to you play that thing a million times. And the beginning is supposed to go: ba-ba-ba-bump ba-bump ba-bump. You played: ba-ba-ba-ba ba-bump bee-bump.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You’re right. I did mess that up. Could we make a stop before going home?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Oh, and you were slouching and your bow-tie was crooked and your ears are too big…
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Shortly afterwards, Arthur rings the Baxters’ doorbell. Buster opens.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' I was just about to call you. Before you say anything, I want you to know that I was completely wrong. You were perfect. You didn’t make any m…
| |
| | |
| ''He crosses two fingers behind his back.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Your fingers are crossed, aren’t they?
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Aw, I can’t win!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' It’s okay! In fact, I came to apologize. I asked you to be honest with me and you were. It’s not your fault that I didn’t like the answer.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' So… we’re friends again?
| |
| | |
| ''They shake hands.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Besties.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Oh wait. I forgot to give you something at the recital.
| |
| | |
| ''He gets a small model of a grand piano.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' I had all this marzipan left over, so I made you an edible piano.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Wow, thanks.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Try it! It’s delicious.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur eats a small piece and his face freezes.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' What do you think?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Trust me, you don’t wanna know.
