*Buster: I figured out what happiness is!
*Francine: Yeah. What is it?
*Buster: Happiness is pizza on a Friday right before a three day weekend.
*Francine: You can say that again. Three days of tree climbing, soccer, whatever we like! And then when Sunday comes, it feels like Saturday.
*Arthur: Easy for you to say. D.W.'s got me down for six games of Tower of Cows, four games of Box of Rocks, and a tournament championship of Virtual Goose.
*Sue Ellen: My dad is going to a conference in Crown City and he's taking me with him.
*Muffy: Crown City? As in the glamorous gleaming Crown City?
*Sue Ellen: Yup, that's the one.
*Francine: [singing] Crown City you're dynamite, you're peaches and cream, try your luck fair kid Crown City! Crown City! You're one heck of a diamond by the sea!
*Everybody: [laughing]
*Sue Ellen: The best part is we're gonna stay with Carla, my old sitter. She's so cool.
*Francine: Crown City's great. My dad goes there for his sanitation engineers convention every year.
*Arthur: My mom took us to the museum of science there.
*Buster: I was in a pie eating contest at the Mayor's house.
*Sue Ellen: How about you Muffy?
*Muffy: Uhhh sure. Don't be silly. I've been to Europe and to the Caribbean and to Crown City lots of times.
*[bell rings]
<p style="text-align: center;">In the Lakewood art classroom</p>


*Muffy: [whistling Crown City song]
*[Sue Ellen is washing her hands]
*Muffy: Y'know, as I clean these paint brushes I can't help but think of life in Crown City.
*Sue Ellen: Yeah? How's that?
*Muffy: Well, I imagine there must be tons of galleries there.
*Sue Ellen: You imagine. I thought you said you've been to the city lots of times.
*Muffy: Well, I have. Just not recently. Yes, it's been so long it just feels like I've never been. Oh, I would just love to return to be beautiful Crown City by the sea.
*Sue Ellen: My dad did say I could bring a friend..
*Muffy: Fantastic! Oh, we'll have such fun. There's stores, and restaurants, horse-drawn carriages, and room service, and vallet parking, gingerell with maraschino cherries..
*Sue Ellen: It's not gonna be like that..
<p style="text-align: center;">Crosswires' Mansion</p>


*Mr. Armstrong: You did tell her this was just a three day trip, right?
*Sue Ellen: I thought so...
*Muffy: As you can see, I've made a fabulous list for the trip. We'll start with a fancy dinner, next comes a shopping spree, and then onto a tasteful cultural event. Perhaps an art exhibit, or the opera.
<p style="text-align: center;">On the way to Crown City</p>


*Muffy: [singing] Crown City! One heck of a diamond by the seaaaaaaaaaa! Crown City you're dynamite you're peaches and cream
*Sue Ellen: Hey Muffy look, we're heading into the city now!
*Muffy: Oooh so high class. Does Carla live in a penthouse?
*Mr. Armstrong: Not exactly.
<p style="text-align: center;">Sue Ellen and Muffy get out of the car</p>


*Muffy: Was that woman by the fire hydrant selling soap?
*Carla: Yes, she was. And she makes a wonderful ginger oatmeal and seaweed bar that's great for exfoliating.
*Muffy: Nothing but camille and verdina touch my skin.
*Carla: [shaking hands with Muffy] You must be Mifi.
*Muffy: It's Muffy...
*Carla: [hugging Mr. Armstrong and Sue Ellen] It's so good to see you back in the neighborhood. Is everybody hungry? Shall we go out to dinner?
*Muffy: I hear the International Fusion Cuisine in Crown City is magnificent. Perhaps we should try-
*Mr. Armstrong: How about that cool little Ethiopian place by the firehouse? What's it called?
*Sue Ellen: Abbis ababa. Let's go!
<p style="text-align: center;">Addis Ababa</p>


*[everybody is eating with their hands]
*Muffy: Are you sure they don't have silverware here?
*Mr. Armstrong: Nope. Just these. [shows hands] Isn't it fun?
*Muffy: But.. where are the different waiters? There's supposed to be one to sweep up the crumbs, one to unfold the napkins, one to- 
*[The waiter they previously had places more bread tortillas on the table making Muffy gasp]
<p style="text-align: center;">Carla's apartment</p>


*Sue Ellen: Sorry dinner was a let-down Muffy.
*Muffy: Well, tonight may have been a flop, but tomorrow's going to be glorious..
<p style="text-align: center;">Muffy's Daydream</p>


*Everybody: It's Crosswire!
*Guy: THE Muffy Crosswire?
*[Muffy tries on different outfits]
*Cashier: I'm sorry miss, but your credit card company is reporting that-
*Muffy: [gasp]
*Cashier: You must spend more!
<p style="text-align: center;">Carla's apartment</p>


*Sue Ellen: Don't worry. You're gonna love the shopping we're gonna do tomorrow.
<p style="text-align: center;">Crown City</p>


*[At a fish stand]
*Muffy: This wasn't what I- [fish almosts hits her] Ahh!
*Muffy: This wasn't what I had in [almost gets hit with a fish again] whoah!
*Muffy: This WASN'T what I had in mind! Where are the jewelry cases? And the lady spraying Persian perfume?
*Carla: I promise we'll stop at a botique or two. As soon as I find a good ripe turban squash.
<p style="text-align: center;">Little Lady Dollar Mart</p>


*Muffy: What do you mean nothing costs more than a dollar? Plastic earings? Plastic may be alright for the cap on a bottle of diet soda, but on my ears? Honestly!
*Sue Ellen: Muffy! I found some squeezable glitter paints for decorating jeans and shirts.
*Carla: [shows a cowskin beret] Ah Muffy now this, this is you. It's very chique.
*Muffy: Cow is not my color and fake fur is way passay. Hm.
*Carla: Well, suit yourself.
*Muffy: Mhmmm...
<p style="text-align: center;">Hot Dog Stand</p>


*Sue Ellen: One foot long, extra sauerkraut, hold the relish.
*Muffy: [talking to Carla] So will we be dabbling in high culture tonight?
*Carla: A super thick cheesesteak, double the peppers, and burn the onions.
*Muffy: Maybe the ballet, or the opera...
*Carla: Oh, there's all sorts of art at the Renae's.
*Muffy: The Renae's? Ooh, it sounds French.
*Sue Ellen: Quick Muffy, what do you want?
*Muffy: [ordering] Uhhh.. Poulet au beurre noir... hold the beurre noir
<p style="text-align: center;">Carla's apartment</p>


*Muffy: An evening at Renae's... I imagine Renae's as anyone who's anyone goes.
<p style="text-align: center;">Muffy's Fantasy</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"></p>


*[Muffy imagine's Ranae's as a popular art gallery]
*Muffy: [looking at paintings of herself] Yes, it captures my angst. But this one's my favorite. It's an Andy Warthog.
*Andy Warthog: I'm so glad you like it M.
*Muffy: I do. I really really do. No offense, Keith.
*[Warthog shows Muffy a cracker on a plate.]
*Andy Warthog: What do you think of my latest piece?
*Muffy: Intriguing. What do you call it?
*Andy Warthog: Broken cracker on a plate.
<p style="text-align: center;">Carla's apartment</p>


*Carla: Girls, are you ready? Renae's awaits.
<p style="text-align: center;">Renae's</p>


*[Renae's turns out to be a poetry club. A rather dirty one, also.]
*Poetry Narrator: So let's take a riboflavin ride on a chartreuse kaboose..
*Muffy: What's going on?
*Sue Ellen: [whispering] It's a poetry slam.
*Carla: Anyone who wants to gets to make up a poem and everyone here will listen.
*Poetry Narrator: A blue you voodoo that you do
*Muffy: These people are weirdos! And this trip has been the worst of my entire life!
*Sue Ellen: Oh look! There's a table.
*Muffy: [gasp] Eww! Gross! Gum!
*Muffy: I can't take it any longer! Look at my dress. The skirt is ruined! Look at my hair. The ends are split. Where am I? No ritz{{Spelling}}, no glitz, no silverware, big, wet, fish fly past my face! It's all wrong! Crown City you're NOT dynamite, you're NOT peaches and cream, I just wanna go home!
*[Everybody claps]
<p style="text-align: center;">The Streets of Crown City</p>


*Muffy: It's tragic! It's racchid! I am undone..
*[As Muffy walks over a grate, her shoe slips off]
*Sue Ellen: Muffy your-
*Muffy: No. Leave it. I'll hop. You do realize if I was not so weak I would absolutely refuse to go down here.
<p style="text-align: center;">Crown City Subway</p>


*[Saxophone Playing Jazzy Tune]
*Muffy: This is the subway?
*Carla: They're not all like this, but this was the first station ever built.
*Sue Ellen: It was completed in 1903.
*Muffy: I had no idea.
*[Playing Jazzy Tune]
*Muffy: They play so well.
*[Sniffs]
*Muffy: What is that smell?
*Sue Ellen: Probably oil and yes, Muffy, garbage.
*Muffy: No, not that, THAT.
*Carla: Crown City's famous for its pretzels. The ones with the cheese inside are my favorite.
*[Ballerinas get off of the train]
*Muffy: Those ballerinas.. they're so....
*Carla: In a hurry, apparently.
*Muffy: The train's leaving.
*Sue Ellen: Don't worry Muffy. There'll be another one.
*Muffy: C-C-S-O. That must be the Crown City Symphony and Orchestra. "Moonlight Lantern Parade May 25" that's today! I mean tonight! That's right now!
*Carla: So it is. Do you think we could?-
*Carla: If we catch the next train we can be there in a flash.
*Muffy: Excellent. Oh, and I've got just the right look.
*[Puts on the fake cowskin hat]
*Muffy: Is it me?
*Sue Ellen and Carla: Definitely.
*Muffy: And now I shall buy the fattest most doughey pretzel Crown City has to offer. With extra cheese of course. Won't you join me?
