| | [[Arthur Read]]: If you examined history, I bet you'd find kids like me did important things. |
|
| |
|
| ''Arthur stands in the yard holding a baseball bat.'' | | (''Ancient Egypt'') |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' If you examined history, I bet you'd find kids like me did important things.
| | [[Papa Pharaoh]]: Tut! Tut! I asked you not to play too close to our new Sphinx. |
|
| |
|
| ''Mr. and Mrs. Read, wearing ancient Egyptian dress, walk up to Arthur and Pal, who are standing in front of the Sphinx. Arthur is holding a baseball bat and ball.'' | | [[Tut]]: I'll be careful, Papa Pharaoh. (''he breaks the nose off the Sphinx'') Oops. |
|
| |
|
| '''Mr. Read:''' Tut, Tut, I asked you not to play too close to our new sphinx. | | (''Ancient Greece'') |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' I'll be careful, Papa Pharaoh. ''He hits the ball against the sphinx's nose which breaks off.'' Heh heh... Oops!
| | Arthur: ('''V.O.''') There were kids like me in Ancient Greece, too. |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur (narrator):''' There were kids like me in Ancient Greece too.
| | [[Mr. Haney (Ancient Greece)]]: No, sorry, I don't like it. |
|
| |
|
| ''In an ancient Greek town, Mr. Haney and Mr. Read stand next to the Venus de Milo, which is holding D.W.'' | | (''A flying discus accidentally knocks the [[D.W. Read]] sculpture off the [[Venus de Milo]] statue'') |
|
| |
|
| '''Mr. Haney:''' No, sorry. I don't like it. | | [[Fatherius]]: '''ARTHURIUS! I ASKED YOU NOT TO PLAY WITH YOUR DISCUS IN MY WORK AREA!''' |
|
| |
|
| ''A thrown discus knocks off the statue's arms, along with D.W. Arthur comes running.'' | | [[Arthurius]]: I'm sorry, Fatherius. |
|
| |
|
| '''Mr. Read:''' Arthureus, I asked you not to play with your discus in my work area!
| | Mr. Haney: It's beautiful! I'll take it. |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' I'm sorry, Fathereus. | | (''Scene changes to colonial America)'' |
|
| |
|
| '''Mr. Haney:''' It's beautiful! I'll take it. | | Arthur: ('''V.O.''') I'll bet there were even kids like me around in colonial days. (''A young boy resembling Arthur bumps into a bell, causing the bell to crack)'' |
|
| |
|
| ''He takes out some gold coins.'' | | (''Back to the present)'' |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur (narrator):''' I bet there were even kids like me around in colonial days.
| | Arthur: All those things became more valuable and important because of an innocent kid. So you see, D.W., one day this may be looked back on as an historic event. |
|
| |
|
| ''Arthur flies a kite in 18<sup>th</sup> century Philadelphia. He runs into the Liberty Bell.'' | | D.W.: I bet you'll never forget it! Mom! Arthur broke the window! |

| ''Mrs. Read returns from a walk with Kate and D.W. D.W. is on roller skates and keeps falling down.'' | | (''We now return to the story. D.W., [[Kate Read]], and their mother [[Jane Read]] are walking home on a Friday afternoon. Well, D.W. is actually rollerskating''.) |
|
| |
|
| '''D.W.''': When we get home... ow... will you play kitchen with me? Ow!
| | D.W.: When we get home, ow! Will you play kitchen with me? OW! |
|
| |
|
| '''Mrs. Read''': What's kitchen?
| | Mother: What's kitchen? |
|
| |
|
| ''D.W. holds on to a tree.''
| | D.W.: That's the game where I bring you ingredients and you make cookies. Then I eat them. |
|
| |
|
| '''D.W.''': That's the game where I bring you ingredients and you make cookies. Then I eat them.
| | Mother: I see. I'm afraid I have to work. |
|
| |
|
| '''Mrs. Read''': I see. I'm afraid I have to work.
| | Arthur: Mom, the Brain loaned me the computer game [[Deep Dark Sea]]. Can I play it on your computer? |
|
| |
|
| ''Arthur comes running.''
| | Mother: Sure. After dinner. |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' Mom, the Brain loaned me the computer game Deep Dark Sea. Can I play it on your computer?
| | Arthur: After dinner? Why not now? |
|
| |
|
| '''Mrs. Read''': Sure, after dinner.
| | Mother: I have to work. It's tax season. |
| | |
| ''They go inside. Arthur and D.W. try to walk through the door at the same time.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur+D.W.:''' Oof!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' After dinner? Why not now?
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read''': I have to work. It's tax season.

| |
| | |
| ''The Read family has dinner. Kate rubs food in her face.''
| |
| | |
| '''Kate:''' (coos)
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' So, Mom, can I play on your computer now?
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read''': Yup, after you finish eating.
| |
| | |
| ''She hands him mashed potatoes. Arthur eats hurriedly.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' (wolfs down food) Done!
| |
| | |
| ''He runs to the computer.''
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur sits at the computer. D.W. looks over his shoulder.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Don't distract me, D.W.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I won't.
| |
| | |
| ''On the screen, a diver, armed with a harpoon, walks over the ocean floor.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' How do you play it?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You search the ocean floor, and there's sharks and sunken stuff.
| |
| | |
| '''Computer:''' “Sonar shows jellyfish coming your way.”
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' How do you win?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Kids say there's this thing that you find. Buster says, his cousin's friend's brother found it, and the computer gave him a number to call, and he won a lot of stuff. But he had to swear in blood never to tell what he found.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Octopus!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' No, he didn't win an octopus.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' No, Arthur! Octopus!
| |
| | |
| ''The diver is “killed” by a large octopus.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You're distracting me! Go away!
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. walks off.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Doesn't know what he's looking for!

| | |

| |
| | |
| ''That night, Mrs. and Mr. Read walk to Arthur's room.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Good night.
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read''': Where's Arthur?
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur sits in front of the computer with rings under his eyes.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read''': Arthur, it's late. You don't have to play a hundred games in one night.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' This is still my first game.
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read''': Come on. Time for bed.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I can't stop now! I just made it to the ancient rotting shipwreck.
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read''': Wouldn't you rather play when you're more awake.
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read''': But if you make a mistake because you're tired.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Then I'd have to start all over. I'd better save the game right now.
| |
| | |
| '''Computer:''' “I'll be awaiting your return to your mission in the deep dark sea.”
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Huh? ''He notices that the computer mouse is stuck to his palm.'' (grunts)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Later, Arthur lies in bed and moves his fingers over Pal's head, as if operating a mouse.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' There it is... the thing.
| |
| | |
| ''Pal gets annoyed and pushes his hand away.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The next morning at the breakfast table, Arthur moves a stack of pancakes like a mouse.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Then I go around the sharks to the sunken hull...
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' What are you doing?
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur notices that his fingers are covered in syrup.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I was thinking about the game.
| |
| | |
| ''He licks his fingers. Buster knocks on the window.''
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur lets Buster in. They run into the living room.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Where is it? Are you playing it yet?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Not yet. ''They run past Pal, who follows them.'' Last night, I got all the way to the sunken hull.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Wow! What's a sunken hull?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' A big old haunted ship. I saved the game so we can start from there.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' With a head start like that, maybe we'll find the... thing.
| |
| | |
| ''They stop. Pal bumps into Buster's legs.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Oh, no!
| |
| | |
| ''Mrs. Read is working on the computer.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Sorry, boys. I have to work on the computer today.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' But it's Saturday. It's your day off.
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' I don't get a day off during...
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Tax season. I know.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Mr. Read decorates cakes in his workshop.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' (whistles)
| |
| | |
| ''He sees Arthur and Buster sitting outside looking bored.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Now there's nothing to do.
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. pulls Pal and Kate in a small wagon.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' (hums)
| |
| | |
| ''Mr. Read looks out of the window.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Why don't you boys ride to the park? It's a beautiful day.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Yeah, that sounds fun.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Yeah, fun.
| |
| | |
| ''Mrs. Read comes out.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Honey, I have to run to the office.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Can we use your computer?
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' I'd rather you didn't. I'll be right back and I'll need it again.
| |
| | |
| ''She leaves.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and Buster look at the computer which is turned off.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Couldn't you just show it to me for one second?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I guess. Mom would never even know.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and Buster start playing. D.W. walks by the door and comes in.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Arthur, what are you doing? Mom told you not to play on her computer.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' We're not playing. I'm just showing it to Buster. Go away.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' If I go away, I'll probably tell Daddy. Besides, I want to watch.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Okay, you can watch. But be quiet.
| |
| | |
| ''On the screen, the diver approaches a treasure chest.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Wow! Even the Brain didn't get this far.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' What's that?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I don't know.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Go to it! Maybe it's the thing!
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' A treasure chest...
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I bet that's it. That's...
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur+Buster:''' ...the thing!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I think I won! We've got to open it!
| |
| | |
| ''Both boys grab the mouse.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur+Buster:''' (struggle)
| |
| | |
| ''Suddenly, keyboard and mouse fall to the floor. The screen briefly shows static before going black.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur+Buster:''' (gasp)
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur stares at the screen. An image of the game briefly appears, then it goes black again.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' You wrecked it.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' No, I didn't! You knocked the keyboard off the desk!
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Because you pushed my arm. Try turning it off and on again.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur presses a button, but nothing happens.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' You killed it! Now Mommy will lose her job! Then we'll lose the house and live in the street, and Kate will get ammonia and we'll all starve!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' D.W., be quiet! I'm thinking.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' And it's your fault so you'd better fix it! Because I like living here!
| |
| | |
| ''Buster shakes the computer.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Don't do that! You'll make it worse.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Maybe you'd better call your Mom.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I can't. She said not to play with it and now I wrecked it. I got it! Maybe we can fix it before she gets home.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Maybe a rich family would adopt me. I’m cute.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Who'd know how to fix a computer?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur+Buster:''' The Brain!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and Buster talk to Mr. Powers, who is fixing his car.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Sorry, boys, he's not home, but I got a hunch where you might find him.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and Buster search the library. Binky sits at a desk reading a book.''
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Huh?
| |
| | |
| ''He hides the book behind a comic book.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' If I were Brain, where would I go?
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Ah. Somewhere brainy.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and Buster walk through the Elwood City Planetarium's presentation room and museum.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and Buster run up to the Elwood City Observatory.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and Buster walk through the park.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' What other brainy places are there for the Brain to go?
| |
| | |
| ''Brain stands by a lake and throws stones into the water.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Hi.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' We looked everywhere for you.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Are you doing a physics experiment?
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' No, I'm skipping rocks. It's fun.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Wouldn't coming to my house and fixing a computer be more fun?
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and Buster pick Brain up and drag him away.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Aah! Yeah, sure!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''At the Read house, Brain looks inside the Reads' computer wearing a headband with little lamps attached.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' You know what the problem is?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' No.
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Well, neither do I.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur+Buster+D.W.:''' (gasp)
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Oh... ''He falls to the floor.'' I'm dead. Well, you know, I've always wanted to live in Australia.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' We're doomed! All my childhood happiness is behind me!
| |
| | |
| ''Mrs. Read's car is seen outside.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Gotta go, Arthur.
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Yeah. Nice knowing you.
| |
| | |
| ''They run out and meet Mrs. Read at the door.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Hello, boys.
| |
| | |
| ''She walks up to Arthur. D.W. runs up the stairs.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' I won't need my computer till after dinner so you can go ahead and play now.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Er...no...no, thanks.
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Are you sick? You don't look well.
| |
| | |
| ''She feels Arthur's forehead.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I'm going up to pack... er, do my homework.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur paces in his room while Pal watches.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' If I just tell her, what do you think she'll do to me?
| |
| | |
| ''In Pal's imagination, Arthur cowers on all fours while Mrs. Read stands over him with a rolled-up magazine.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Bad Arthur, Bad boy!
| |
| | |
| ''She leads Arthur outside on a leash and closes the door. Arthur scratches at it.''
| |
| | |
| ''The fantasy ends.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Arthur, dinner's ready!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur sits down at the dinner table beside D.W.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' (quietly:) I hope you enjoy your dinner, Arthur! This may be the last meal we ever eat because of you.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur looks down.''
| |
| | |
| ''A while later, Arthur plays with his meatballs.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Arthur, you hardly ate any dinner.
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Maybe you should go to bed early, honey.
| |
| | |
| ''She leaves the room.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Don't you want dessert, Mom?
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' No, thank you. I have to work.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and D.W. run after their mom.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Why don't we go have a game of catch?
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' I'd love to, Arthur, when I have less work to do.
| |
| | |
| ''She is about to turn on the computer.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Mom! When was the last time we rode bikes together?
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Arthur. After tax season, we'll play, I promise.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Mom!
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Please, I have to work!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You can't. I wrecked your computer.
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' How? You didn't play on it, did you?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Buster only wanted to see it, and you were gone, and it was just gonna be for a second, and... I'm sorry.
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. runs into her mom's arms.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I don't want to live in the street, Mommy! Please!
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Let's see what's wrong. ''She presses a button and nothing happens.'' This happens all the time. Did you jiggle the switch?
| |
| | |
| ''She reaches behind the computer and it goes on. The screen still shows the game.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' We're not going to starve!
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' You could have just called me and asked for help instead of worrying.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I thought you'd be mad.
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Not mad. Disappointed. I'm forbidding you from playing on the computer for a week. Fair? ''Arthur nods.'' How do you play this game?
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Later, the Read house is seen from outside.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Goodnight, Dad!
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Goodnight, Arthur!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Goodnight, Mom! Mom? Mom?
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Just a minute! I almost had the treasure chest opened. Arr. Those snakes are attacking. I'm surrounded. Get back. Get back.
