| '''[[D.W. Read]]''': Dad! It’s time for my bedtime story!
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': In a minute, D.W.
| |
| | |
| (She leaves.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Arthur Read]]''': Really? Just you and me? No D.W.?
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': That's right. No D.W.
| |
| | |
| (In Arthur’s imagination, he and his dad stand in a river.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': It's okay if you don't catch anything on your first day. Fly-fishing isn't easy. Proper casting takes years of experience and...
| |
| | |
| (His cell phone rings. He takes it out of his bag.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[D.W. Read]]''': (on phone): Daddy! It's D.W.! Can you come home right now because I'm just a little girl.
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': Oh, poor D.W.! Arthur casts his line and a fish immediately bites. Whoa.
| |
| | |
| (He drops the phone which sinks to the bottom.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[D.W. Read]]''': (on phone): Daddy? You’re still hearing me?
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': Whoa, let me help you.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Arthur Read]]''': It's okay. I got it.
| |
| | |
| (The fish pulls him away and he waterskis on his boots.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': Arthur! He takes out his camera and takes pictures. On the last picture, Arthur is below the surface. Oh, no, Arthur, I'll save you! Whoa!
| |
| | |
| (The fish jumps past him and he falls into the river.)
| |
| | |
| (The fish lies on the bank and Arthur stands on top of it, still holding the rod. It spits out several smaller fish. The cell phone rings again.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[D.W. Read]]''': (on phone): Daddy, you hung up on me! Daddy, it's me! D.W.!
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': D.W. who?
| |

| (Arthur and Mr. Read pack the car wearing outdoor clothes.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[D.W. Read]]''': I still don't get why I can't come.
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': Because it's my weekend with Arthur. Next weekend will be your weekend.
| |
| | |
| (Mrs. Read stands in the door.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Jane Read]]''': David, you've got a call.
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': Okay, thanks.
| |
| | |
| (He leaves.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[D.W. Read]]''': Well, next weekend is gonna be so much more fun than this weekend. Dad and I are going to... um… Unicorn Lake... And I won't have to fish for unicorns, because they'll want to come play with me. And you won’t be able to come with us, no matter how much you beg.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Arthur Read]]''': I won't be begging, because this is my weekend! M-I-N...
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': Er, kids, bad news. Looks like I have to work next weekend.
| |
| | |
| '''[[D.W. Read]]''': What?! (cries)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Arthur Read]]''': Oh, that's okay with me, Dad.
| |
| | |
| '''[[D.W. Read]]''': No, it's not okay! What about my weekend! I'm supposed to get next weekend! It's not fair if Arthur gets another weekend and I don't! It’s not fair! It’s not fair!

| '''[[D.W. Read]]''': (singsong:) “I'm gonna go fishing. I'm gonna go fishing. I’m gonna go...”
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': No, D.W., you're gonna stay at camp and go swimming with Mom and Kate while Arthur and I go fishing.
| |
| | |
| (D.W. holds up a cassette.)
| |

| |
|
| '''[[D.W. Read]]''': Hey, can we play my...?
| | Arthur smiles. |
|
| |
|
| '''[[Arthur Read]]''': No! No Mary Moo Cow! That's all I ask! Please, Dad! | | '''D.W.''': Dad! It’s time for my bedtime story! |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': Sure. Er, what'll we listen to?
| |
| | |
| (They drive on listening to an audio book. Arthur smiles while D.W. looks annoyed.)
| |
| | |
| '''Audiobook''': “Henry Skreever Book 6: Henry Skreever and the Cauliflower Queen. Chapter 7..."
| |
| | |
| (There is a squeaking noise and loose tape comes out of the cassette recorder.)
| |
| | |
| '''[[David Read]]''': Uh oh, I think we have a problem.
| |
| | |
| (They drive on, now listening to a Mary Moo Cow tape.)
| |
| | |
| '''Mary Moo Cow (on tape)''': “The best word I know is F-U-N / F-U-N spells fun.”

| | ''Mr. Read's old camping spot is now a busy campground featuring a carousel with unicorns.'' |
|
| |
|
| '''Mr. Read''': Okay, now, Arthur, get ready. The road to this camp is very hard to find, so keep your eyes peeled for a tree with a white arrow.
| | '''D.W.''': You were right, Dad. Nature's great. |
| | |
| '''Arthur''': Wait, Dad! Is that it?
| |
| | |
| (There is a tree with a black arrow.)
| |
| | |
| '''David Read''': No, I don't think so. It’s gotta…
| |
| | |
| '''D.W. Read''': Wait, Dad! Is that it?
| |
| | |
| (There is a parking lot with big signs. One of them says "Whale Lake".)
| |
| | |
| '''David Read''': Thanks, D.W. Hm. I guess things have changed.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W. Read''': You just have to keep your eyes peeled.

| '''[[Arthur Read]]''': What's that smell?
| |
| | |
| '''[[D.W. Read]]''': You guys just missed the fish!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Jane Read]]''': Yes, you should have seen it. It was the weirdest thing! They were practically leaping out of the water!
