| ''Arthur and D.W. play checkers in the Reads’ yard.''
| | D.W.: Shhh! I wanna do it myself. |

|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' Um... ahem… You might wanna think about...
| | Arthur: Ok (2x) Sometimes I don't think D.W. really appreciates how easy her life is because of me. I mean she can always come to me for great advise. Do not fear Mosquitos if you pull gently on them they will go away. |
|
| |
|
| '''D.W.:''' Shh! I wanna do it myself!
| | D.W.: (blowing) Owww |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' Okay, okay. Sometimes I don't think D.W. really appreciates how easy her life is because of me. I mean she can always come to me for great advice.
| | Arthur: More gently next time. Now I shall tell you how to tie you shoes with you're mind. I constantly encourage her. Trust me D.W. you can do this! You're doing it. That's it you're roller skating! |
|
| |
|
| ''Flashback: In the park, D.W. has a mosquito on her arm. Arthur sits next to her like a yogi.''
| | D.W.: whoaaaaa! Ughh! |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' Do not fear mosquitos. If you blow gently on them, they will go away.
| | Arthur: Uhh. That was great. Now will work on stopping. And when she gets to Kindergarden. Everyone will respect her because she's Arthur Read's sister. |
|
| |
|
| ''D.W. blows and is bitten.'' | | 3rd Grade Male Dog: Hey! Isn't that Arthur's sister? |
|
| |
|
| '''D.W.:''' Ow!
| | The Crowd: Welcome Arthur's Sister! (All together) |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' More gently next time. Now I shall tell you how to tie you shoes with your mind.
| | Arthur: And best of all. I teach her things like checkers. |
|
| |
|
| ''The flashback ends.''
| | D.W.: King me! |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' I constantly encourage her.
| | (Then goes to title card) |
|
| |
|
| ''Flashback: D.W. stands on roller skates in the park.''
| | Muffy: Francine's Big Top Trouble |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' Trust me, D.W. You can do this. ''He gently pushes her.'' That's it. You're doing it. You're roller skating!
| | (Then goes to the episode) |
|
| |
|
| '''D.W.:''' Who-o-oah!
| | Francine: Tah Daa! Thank you (2x) The great Francine will now accept you applause. |
|
| |
|
| ''She crashes into a trashcan.''
| | Catherine: Ahh yes the first morning of circus camp. I remember it well. Just wait until you're on the trapeze fifteen feet off the ground. |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Uh...that was great. Now we'll work on stopping.
| |
| | |
| ''The flashback ends.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' And when she gets to kindergarten, everyone will respect her because she's Arthur Read’s sister.
| |
| | |
| ''He imagines D.W. walking up to Lakewood Elementary where a group of Miss Sweetwater’s students are waiting.''
| |
| | |
| '''Dog Boy:''' Hey, isn't that...Arthur’s sister?
| |
| | |
| '''Kids:''' Welcome, Arthur's sister!
| |
| | |
| ''The fantasy ends.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' And best of all, I teach her things. Like checkers.
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. jumps over three of Arthur’s pieces.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' King me!
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur looks dumbfounded.''
| |
| | |
| ==Title Card: Francine Bangs Gong==
| |
| | |
| ''The Frenskys are having breakfast. Francine throws cereal in the air and catches it with her mouth.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Ta-da! Thank you, thank you. The Great Francine will now accept your applause.
| |
| | |
| '''Catherine:''' Ah, yes, the first morning of circus camp. I remember it well. Just wait till you're on the trapeze fifteen feet off the ground. It's a lot harder than flipping cereal into your mouth.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' You may have been good at circus camp, Catherine, but I'm gonna rule!
| |
| | |
| '''Catherine:''' We'll just see about that.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Yes, we will.
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' Hey, Laverne, I think we may have two circus stars in this family.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Gotta run!
| |
| | |
| '''Catherine:''' Good luck, squirt! Say hi to Boris for me.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| ''Arthur, Binky, Francine and Muffy walk up to a circus tent. Artists are practicing outside.''
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Whoa, this sure beats band camp!
| |
| | |
| ''A sign “Boudnikov’s Circus" hangs over the entrance. A man comes out walking on his hands.''
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' Greetings, young apprentices! I am Boris, tumbler, trapeze artist, ringleader and, more importantly, your camp counsellor. ''He gets on his feet and takes out a list.'' Arthur Read?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Here.
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' Binky Barnes?
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' That's me.
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' And Francine... Are you related to Catherine Frensky?
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' She's my sister.
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' This is an honor. Catherine was one of my best pupils, a real natural! ''He shakes Francine’s hand.'' Okay, let's join the rest of the kids on our first stop, tumbling. Follow the feet!
| |
| | |
| ''He walks into the tent on his hands. The kids follow on their feet.''
| |
| | |
| ''The kids and Boris stand in the circus ring beside a mat.''
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' Let's begin with what you already know. How about a basic cartwheel? Frensky, show them how it's done.
| |
| | |
| ''Francine attempts a cartwheel but falls on her back.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Ow! Heh, I think my hand slipped.
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' It happens to all of us. All right, everyone, on the mat.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur does a cartwheel. Binky manages two in a row.''
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Woo-hoo! Ha! Hey, I've never even done one of those before!
| |
| | |
| ''Francine tries and falls on her back again.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Oof! Heh heh, just gotta get the right momentum.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur throws up two juggling clubs and catches them. Boris gives him the thumbs-up.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' If Arthur can do it... ''She throws up three clubs. They fall on her head.'' Aah!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''A female artist, Natasha, does a backflip while in a harness.''
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' Now, I know back-flips look scary, but you'll be in this harness and I'll be spotting you. Let's have a volunteer. Frensky, how about you?
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Um… okay.
| |
| | |
| ''She puts on the harness. Boris puts a hand on her back.''
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' Now, just reach back and bring your legs over. ''Francine’s foot hits him on the nose.'' Ow!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Sorry!
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' That's okay. Just keep your legs together next time. We'll take five-minute break while your counsellor gets an ice pack.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Francine sits on the couch at home watching a ninja movie and looking depressed. Catherine brings a cardboard box.''
| |
| | |
| '''Catherine:''' Hey, squirt! I found some circus stuff for you. These gloves were great for the trapeze. Oh, and remember this adorable top from my tightrope routine?
| |
| | |
| ''Flashback: A few years earlier Catherine performs on the tightrope to loud applause.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' Did you see that?! She's amazing!
| |
| | |
| ''Francine whistles loudly.''
| |
| | |
| ''The flashback ends.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' No, thanks! I don't want your sweaty old clothes!
| |
| | |
| '''Catherine:''' Fine! I just thought you could use something to bring you luck.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' I don't need luck. I'm great at circus camp. Just because you're better than me at horseback riding doesn't mean you're gonna win this too.
| |
| | |
| '''Catherine:''' You can't "win" at circus, Francine. It's not a competition. ''Francine turns the TV sound up. Catherine takes the box away.'' Whatever.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The next day, the kids are practicing acts or warming up. Francine lies on her back.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Need a hand?
| |
| | |
| ''He pulls her up.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' (groans) Thanks. I was practicing for hours last night. My arms feel like jelly. But I think I've finally nailed tumbling.
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' Okay, kids, who's ready to perform on the flying trapeze?
| |
| | |
| '''Kids:''' Me! Me!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' The flying trapeze? What happened to somersaults and… and cartwheels?
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' You'll love trapeze, Francine. It was your sister's best routine.
| |
| | |
| ''The kids stand in line to climb up to the trapeze.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Why does everyone expect me to be like Catherine? I don't even look like her.
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Sure you do.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' What? I do not!
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Actually, you're right, you're much shorter. But other than that...
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Well, at least I don't sound like her. ''Binky and Arthur exchange looks.'' Do I?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Maybe just a little. But in a good way.
| |
| | |
| ''Francine climbs the ladder. Boris pulls her up to the platform.''
| |
| | |
| ''Francine is now wearing a harness. She looks down.''
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' Just hold onto the bar and swing across. Natasha will catch you at the other end.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Whhhoooaaa!
| |
| | |
| ''She swings and almost immediately lets go and falls into the safety net.''
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' Nice try, Francine!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Francine comes home to her apartment. Her dad is in the kitchen making sandwiches.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' Hey, Frankie, how was camp?
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Terrific.
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' I can't wait to see you in the final performance. We got the invitation today.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Um, actually, Dad, the performance isn’t gonna be such a big thing this year. You guys don't have to come.
| |
| | |
| ''She gets a can of soda from the refrigerator.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' Of course we're coming! We wouldn't miss it for the world! So, what do you think you'll do? The tightrope, like Catherine?
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' No. I will not do the tightrope or the trapeze or back-flips or anything else that Catherine did.
| |
| | |
| ''She goes into her room and slams the door.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''That night, Catherine is asleep, but Francine lies awake.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Catherine, Catherine, Catherine, Catherine… (sighs) Might as well just call myself Catherine Two. That's what everyone wants...
| |
| | |
| ''Her dream looks like an ad for a James Bond movie. Catherine, wearing a suit, steps into a spotlight.''
| |
| | |
| '''Announcer:''' You loved Catherine, the greatest action hero ever known!
| |
| | |
| ''Catherine rides through a street pursued by ninjas. Catherine jumps between laser beams.''
| |
| | |
| '''Announcer:''' And now, from the producers of Catherine...
| |
| | |
| ''Catherine juggles five clubs on a rooftop. She throws them at two ninjas’ feet, making them fall.''
| |
| | |
| '''Announcer:''' …it's Catherine II...Francine!
| |
| | |
| ''Francine steps into the spotlight, which keeps moving away from her.''
| |
| | |
| '''Announcer:''' Yes, it's Catherine II. She's kind of back and she's almost as great as the first one... Almost. Sort of.
| |
| | |
| ''Francine tries hard to keep her balance on a horse, while ninjas carry away a sack of loot. Francine activates the laser beams. Francine juggles a club on a rooftop. When she is confronted by two ninjas, she runs away.''
| |
| | |
| '''Announcer:''' If you loved Catherine, you'll... probably at least like Catherine II.
| |
| | |
| ''Binky and Arthur come out of a movie theater.''
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' I liked the first one, but this just didn't work for me.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Yeah, sequels are never as good.
| |
| | |
| ''Francine wakes up in the morning.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Just a sequel, huh? We'll see about that!
| |
| | |
| ''She looks at the box in Catherine’s closet.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The next day, when Arthur and Binky come to the circus, they are greeted by Francine wearing green lederhosen and a big red beret.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Allo, Bink-ee, Art-oor!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Francine? What are you wearing?
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' I am just trying a little something new. Something, ‘ow you say...unique. Now I am not so much like ze Catherine, n'est ce blah?
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Maybe, but she's nothing like Francine either.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Inside the tent, the kids are joined by a clown.''
| |
| | |
| '''Fishface:''' Hello, everyone. I'm Fishface, your clowning instructor. (reads note:) "Clowning is a delightful and entertaining circus art. But make no mistake, it's also very serious business. So pay attention." Okay, we'll start with the unicycle. You with the beret, what's your name?
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Ahem... Yksnerf.
| |
| | |
| '''Fishface:''' Yksnerf? There's no Yksnerf on the attendance sheet. There's a Frensky... that's Yksnerf spelled backwards.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Er, eet must be... ’ow you say... ze typo?
| |
| | |
| '''Fishface:''' Sounds reasonable. How about trying the unicycle?
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Great. Another thing for me to stink at.
| |
| | |
| ''Francine sits on a unicycle while Fishface steadies her.''
| |
| | |
| '''Fishface:''' Okay, it's all a matter of balance. Try pedaling a little. That's it! ''He pushes her a few steps, then lets go.'' Look, you're doing it!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Whoa-a-a-a!
| |
| | |
| ''She rides in circles while Fishface tries to catch her.''
| |
| | |
| '''Fishface:''' Stop!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' I can't! Whoa!
| |
| | |
| ''Eventually, she knocks Fishface over.''
| |
| | |
| '''Fishface:''' Aah! Oof!
| |
| | |
| '''Kids:''' (laugh)
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Sorry. Are you okay?
| |
| | |
| '''Fishface:''' Everything hurts. But that's normal.
| |
| | |
| ''He winks at her. She smiles.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur juggles three clubs while Binky does a series of cartwheels.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I'm getting pretty good at this.
| |
| | |
| ''Francine attempts a somersault and falls.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Oh!
| |
| | |
| ''She waves at the boys.''
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Poor Francine. Only two days until the performance and she still can't do a somersault.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Oof!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I really hope she doesn't embarrass herself.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''On the night of the performance, Boris stands in the ring wearing a red coat and a top hat.''
| |
| | |
| '''Boris:''' Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! It has been an amazing, exciting few weeks, and now it is time. I give you... The Elwood City Kids' Circus!
| |
| | |
| ''Maria, Arthur and Buster run onto three podiums and start juggling.''
| |
| | |
| ''Fern, Binky and Muffy do a tumbling act wearing harnesses.''
| |
| | |
| ''Fern, Arthur, Buster, Muffy, Alex and Binky build a human pyramid with Binky on top.''
| |
| | |
| ''George does a trapeze act.''
| |
| | |
| ''Alex walks on a tightrope.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' Where is Francine? I haven't seen her at all.
| |
| | |
| '''Catherine:''' I don't know. The show's almost over.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine+Fishface:''' (silly laughter)
| |
| | |
| ''Francine and Fishface ride into the ring on unicycles and run into each other.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine+Fishface:''' Whaaaa!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Oh, no, she's gonna try juggling. I can't watch!
| |
| | |
| ''Francine throws three clubs in the air and catches them in her outsize pants.''
| |
| | |
| ''Francine does a somersault and falls into a pie. Fishface sprays her rear with water from a spray bottle. She takes out another spray bottle and chases Fishface out of the ring.''
| |
| | |
| ''After the show, Arthur and Binky stand with Francine and Fishface.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Francine, that was the funniest thing ever! You were the hit of the show!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Thanks, guys, but I owe it all to this guy.
| |
| | |
| '''Fishface:''' No, no, you're a natural! When Francine told me she was ready to take clowning seriously, well... (sniffs) …it just got to me. (blows nose loudly)
| |
| | |
| ''Francine’s family join them.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Frensky:''' There's my girl!
| |
| | |
| '''Catherine:''' I'm so proud of you! I, um... was never good at clowning myself.
| |
| | |
| ''The sisters hug and start going home together.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' You know, I think I will take those circus clothes you gave me. That frilly pink shirt could be funny in a clown routine. It's already so ridiculous.
| |
| | |
| '''Catherine:''' It is not! That shirt is haute couture!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Is that French for dorky looking?
| |
| | |
| '''Catherine:''' Forget it!
