| ''A split screen shows both Francine and Arthur turning off the taps while their dads are shaving.''
| |
|
| |
| ''Francine checks the water meter.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': 3,000 liters?
| |
|
| |
| ''Mrs. Laverne is about to turn the dishwasher. Francine runs in front of her and presses the “Econo” button.''
| |
|
| |
| ''Francine checks the water meter.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': 3,400? How can the numbers be going up?
| |
|
| |
| ''Mr. Read washes his van with a garden hose. Arthur turns the water off.''
| |
|
| |
| ''Catherine comes out of the shower. Francine stops the time with a stop clock.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': That shower was four and a half minutes. Try to shave a minute off next time. Now, come on!
| |
|
| |
| '''Catherine:''' Where are we going?
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': We need to get this petition signed! ''She goes into her room.''

| |
| ''Francine checks the water meter.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': It's impossible! How can our family be using 3,600 liters a day? Something's wrong with the meter. ''Mr. Sanders walks in.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Sanders:''' The meter's fine. It's you Frenskys using up all the water in town. And look what I found in my suggestion box. Everyone in the building signed a petition for new toilets! Do you know how many units are in this building...? ''He keeps on talking.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': (thinks:) 3,600 liters a day? What happens if the number just keeps rising?
| |
|
| |
| ''In her imagination she is singing in the shower.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': (sings:) “Not the ten-o-five, but the midnight train!” ''The water stops. She knocks against the shower head with her brush. Catherine comes in with a newspaper. The headline reads “Francine Wastes Last Drop In Elwood City”.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Catherine:''' You've done it now, Francine. You just used all the water in Elwood City.
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': Hh! Oh, no! But Muffy's birthday pool party was today.
| |
|
| |
| ''Francine runs to Muffy’s house. ''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': (pants'') On her way she passes the Barnes family begging for water in Great Depression era clothes.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky:''' Spare any water, sir? ''A man opens a briefcase and takes out a small bottle labelled H2O. He uses a pipette to put a drop of water in Binky’s cup. '' Thank you, sir. And thanks a lot, Francine!
| |
|
| |
| ''Francine arrives at the pool. ''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': I'm here! Muffy! ''Buster, Muffy, Sue Ellen, Brain, Jenna an Arthur are sitting at the bottom of the empty pool with party hats, balloons and a birthday cake.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy:''' Thanks a lot, Francine.
| |
|
| |
| ''The fantasy ends. Mr. Sanders is still talking.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Mr. Sanders:''' …not to mention the labor installing 110 toilets. And where would I even put 110 toilets...

| ''Francine, Arthur, Muffy and Buster are gathered in the Frensky’s living room.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur:''' So after a whole week the moment of truth has arrived. The Reads used 10,500 liters last week. How about the Frenskys? ''Francine wordlessly shows Arthur a piece of paper.'' 34,000 liters?? Francine, do you run a car wash in here?
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': I've checked for leaks in the toilet. I fixed the dripping faucet in the kitchen. I just can't figure it out.
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster:''' There's clearly only one explanation: aliens.
| |
|
| |
| ''A fantasy shows a flying saucer. Two translucent aliens drink a pink fluid.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster:''' I read even though alien technology is superior to ours in many ways, they somehow failed to develop flush toilets for their spaceships. Which means only one thing... ''The saucer hovers above the Frenskys’ house. '' They have to make intergalactic rest stops on our planet. ''An alien beams down. You hear the toilet flush, then the alien beams up again. ''The aliens must really like your bathroom. ''The saucer flies away. The fantasy ends.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': Aliens? Thanks, Buster. I'll keep that in mind. ''The toilet flushes.'' My parents aren't home, so that must have been Catherine. ''Catherine is standing by the refrigerator.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Catherine:''' What must have been Catherine?
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster:''' If it wasn't her, it must have been… an alien!

| ''Arthur, Francine and Muffy and Buster walk home from school. Francine is carrying two bags.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I tried not to put too many books in it today.
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' Don't worry, Francine. Only ten days left.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' At least Sanders replaced all the toilets in my building. Over ten years he'll be saving 25 million liters of water. So I lost the bet, but,,, I also kind of won. ''They stop in front of the Frenskys’ apartment building. ''Shh, listen. ''A flushing toilet is heard. Francine smiles.''[[Category:Transcripts]]
