| ''Binky is watching wrestling on TV. His mother comes in with a trophy shaped like a dolphin.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' What's that?
| |
|
| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' Don't you recognize it? It's your swimming trophy. I founded it in the hall closet. ''She puts it on a shelf in the living room.'' What it was doing there I can't imagine. ''Binky takes the trophy.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Don't put it up there.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' Why not?
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Because it's not a real trophy.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' Of course it is. See? It says, "Binky Barnes: Excellence in Participation."
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' That just means I came in last place.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' Binky, you are an excellent swimmer and you know it. Can I help it if I'm proud of you? ''She puts the trophy back on the shelf.'' There. Now, don't you think that looks nice up there? Binky?

| |
|
| |
| ''In his dream his mother is showing Buster, Francine, Arthur and Brain a shelf full of trophies.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' This is for completing nursery school. Oh, this one is for being able to skip. Oh, and isn't this one beautiful? It's for the Elwood County potato sack race. Oh, Binky wasn't actually in the race, but he was quite close to it, so they gave him this potato. ''Binky comes in.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Mom! What are you doing?
| |
|
| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' I'm just showing your friends some of your awards, sweetie.
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' (gasps)
| |
|
| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' Oh, here's my favorite: the “Just Being Binky Award”. I bet none of you have one of these. ''The kids are trying to suppress laughter. Binky holds his hands over his eyes.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine:''' Who would want one?
| |
|
| |
| '''Kids:''' (laugh)
| |
|
| |
| ''The dream ends. Binky sits up in bed.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Aaaugh! ''He gets out of bed. ''That does it. I'm getting rid of you for good. ''He takes the dolphin trophy off the shelf. ''

| ''The next morning Binky opens the trashcan in front of his house. As he is about to throw in the trophy, he has a fantasy of his mother opening the trashcan. ''
| |
|
| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' Hh! Who would do such a thing? ''She takes the trophy out of the can. The fantasy ends.''
| |
|
| |
| ''Binky closes the trashcan, puts the trophy in his backpack and gets on his bicycle.''

| ''While riding up a hill Binky easily overtakes Mr. Frensky.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Hey, Mr. Frensky!
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' (pants) ''He stops his bike.'' Whoa. (pants)
| |
|

| |
| ''Binky stops at the city dump. He is about to open the backpack when Mr. Frensky stops beside him.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' Binky, I can't believe how quickly you made it up that hill.
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Huh? Oh, yeah. I like hills.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' You like hills? Whew. I wish I did. ''He takes a drink of water.'' I started biking to work to lose a few pounds, but that hill is a killer. I always have to walk the last bit.
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' You just have to pedal hard before the hill and then change gears at the right moment.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' Huh. I wonder if that's what Vance Legstrong does.
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Who's that?
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' What?! You've never head of Vance Legstrong? He's probably the best bicyclist in the whole history of the sport.
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' I didn't even know biking was a sport. ''Mr. Frensky takes another drink of water.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' It sure is, and you'd be a natural at it.
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Really?
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' Sure. There's a great bike course
| |
| at World's End Park where you can try different loops and keep track of your times. You should try it.
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' I will.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' So, what brings you to the dump, today? ''Binky looks at his backpack. Then he take out an empty candy wrapper which he gives to Mr. Frensky.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Um, our trash is full. (giggles) ''He rides off.''
| |
|

| |
| ''Binky has just put a poster of Vance Legstrong on his wall. His mother comes in with a basket full of laundry.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' Is that Vance Legstrong?
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Yeah. Did you know he's won that Loop d'Italia four times?! That's a record.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' Does this mean you're thinking of taking up cycling?
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Um, I don't know. Maybe.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' Well, I'm sure you'll be wonderful at it. ''She walks out. Binky’s self-doubts appear again, this time wearing bicycle racing clothes.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky’s Doubts:''' You'll be wonderful at it, all right, until you're in a race, and then...
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Well, I'm not gonna be in any races, okay? So just can it! ''The doubts disappear.''

|
| |
| ''At the park’s rest area he takes a course card.''

| |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' Oh, where you off to?
| |
|

| '''Binky:''' Best time yet, Mr. Frensky.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' I can see you're gonna be some tough competition in that race on Saturday.
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Race? What race?
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' The annual Spokes for Regular Folks road challenge. Here. Take a form. ''Francine takes the form from her dad.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine:''' Dad, maybe he doesn't want to enter the race. Sorry, Binky. He doesn't know.
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' I don't know what?
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Yeah, what doesn't he know?
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine:''' That… well… you don't like competition.
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Who told you I don't like competition? I like competition. I love competition. Give me that! ''He takes the form and rides off.''
