| | [[Arthur Read]]: Brain and Francine are great friends, but don't talk to them about sports. |
|
| |
|
| ''Arthur, Brain and Francine trade sports cards in the treehouse.''
| | [[Francine Frensky]]: Hockey players are the best athletes 'cause they skate while they play. That's like playing two sports at once! |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur''': Brain and Francine are great friends, but don't talk to them about sports.
| | [[Alan Powers]]: But could a hockey player play golf? |
|
| |
|
| '''Francine''': Hockey players are the best athletes, because they skate while they play. That’s like playing two sports at once.
| | Francine: Yes! |
|
| |
|
| '''Brain''': But could a hockey player play golf?
| | The Brain: While driving an ???? Car 200 7 miles an hour? |
|
| |
|
| '''Francine''': Yes.
| | (Fantasy) |
|
| |
|
| '''Brain''': While driving an Indy Car at 207 miles an hour?
| | [[Nigel Ratburn]]: This is not an easy putt. Everything's quiet. He needs to concentrate. |
|
| |
|
| ''In their fantasy, spectators stand around a golf green.''
| | (A hockey player in a race car zooms by and lands in the water) |
|
| |
|
| '''Commentator:''' This is not an easy putt. Everything's quiet. He needs to concentrate.
| | Ratburn: He's in the lake. ?????????? |
|
| |
|
| ''A race car comes running up. The driver wears an ice-hockey outfit and holds a golf club. He hits a golf ball into the hole while speeding past it. The car lands in a water hazard.''
| | (Fantasy ends) |
|
| |
|
| '''Commentator:''' He's in the lake. That's a one-stroke penalty.
| | Arthur: Want to hear their best argument? Hey guys, who's the best athlete in school? |
|
| |
|
| ''The fantasy ends.'' | | Francine: That's easy! It's me! |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' Want to hear their best argument? Hey, guys, who's the best athlete in school?
| | The Brain: Pardon my insistence upon accuracy, but it is "I". |
|
| |
|
| '''Francine:''' That's easy. It's me.
| | Francine: It's me! |
|
| |
|
| '''Brain''': Pardon my insistence upon accuracy, but it is I.
| | The Brain: It is I! |
|
| |
|
| '''Francine:''' It's me!
| | Francine: Me! |
|
| |
|
| '''Brain''': It is I!
| | The Brain: I! |
|
| |
|
| '''Francine:''' Me!
| | Arthur: Get comfortable! This could go on awhile! |
|
| |
|
| '''Brain''': I!

| '''Prunella:''' We'll win the championship for sure.
| |
| | |
| '''George:''' Indubitably.
| |
| | |
| '''Kids:''' (cheer)
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Nobody can beat us as long as we've got Francine and the Brain.
| |
| | |
| '''Fern:''' Let me get a picture for the school bulletin board.

| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Arthur, I’m open!
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur passes to Francine, who stands near the sideline. She takes a step back.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Out of bounds, Out of bounds!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' I am not! Look at my foot.
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Your foot was on the line. You just moved it.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' No way! You know I’m better than you so you're cheating.
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' I don't need to cheat. You're the one who’s cheating.
| |
| | |
| ''A while later, the two are still arguing. Binky juggles the ball with his head.''
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' …347,825... 347,826...
| |
| | |
| ''Buster lies on the lawn.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' I wish I'd brought a book.
| |

| '''Arthur:''' (yawns)
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' You did!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' I didn't!
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' You did!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Did not!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Let's finish the game, guys.
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Yeah, my skull's getting sore.
| |
| | |
| ''Brain looks at Francine’s foot through a microscope.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' For Pete's sake, why don’t you just ask somebody.
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Okay. You saw what happened, Arthur. You make the call.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' At first, it looked like your foot was on the...
| |
| | |
| ''Francine takes his glasses and puts them on.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Come on, he wears glasses! Are you gonna trust what he sees?
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Don’t treat Arthur like that. He’s honest and trustworthy. Why, there’s no better kid in the school. Come on. Tell them she was out of bounds.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Whatever you say, goes.
| |
| | |
| ''She puts Arthur’s glasses back on his nose.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Even if you are just agreeing with him because boys always stick together.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' …but then it looked like her foot wasn’t...
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Oh! Sticking up for your friend?
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Let him speak, Brain! Go ahead, Arthur.
| |
| | |
| ''Binky juggles the ball again.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Barnes:''' Binky!
| |
| | |
| '''Binky:''' Oh. I gotta go home for dinner!
| |
| | |
| ''He leaves with the ball.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Well, there goes the ball. Game's over.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' So, I guess it doesn't matter who's right any more. (chuckles nervously) ''Brain and Francine glare at each other.'' I'd better go home, too.
| |
| | |
| ''He disappears quickly.''

| |
| | |
| ''In the Reads’ kitchen, Arthur sneaks up to the fruit bowl and grabs an apple while his mom mops the floor. D.W. sits on the counter.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' And I couldn’t tell if she was in or out anyway. By tomorrow, they'll forget all about it.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Did you think I’d forget you promised to help me write a letter to Santa?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' In May?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Do you know many letters he gets in December? I wanna beat the rush.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur sits at his desk and eats the apple while D.W. paces about.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' D.W., would you...?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Ssh, I'm thinking! Hm.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur holds out his pencil and Pal jumps and grabs it.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Okay, ready. "Dear Santa, is it tough being the world's most handsome man?"
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' (groans)
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' It's always nice to start with something positive. You're just bored of hearing nice things because you hear them so often.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Oh, well, thank you.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' "Now, Santa, there were just a few little problems with the presents you brought last year.”
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The next day, Arthur locks his bike in front of the school. Buster whispers to him.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Francine and the Brain are still mad at each other.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Really?
| |
| | |
| ''Brain and Francine stand nearby glaring at each other. A pencil falls out of Francine’s backpack.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Muffy, would you hand me my pencil?
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' Why don’t you ask the Brain. He's right there.
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' I wouldn't touch it, because I might catch whatever it is that makes her so… so Franciney.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Hmph!
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Hmph!
| |

| ''In the classroom, Mr. Ratburn gives Brain a stack of tests.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Ratburn:''' This is a speed test. Pass the questions round. You got one minute. And… begin!
| |

| ''Muffy passes a sheet to Francine.''
| |
| | |
| '''Muffy:''' Here you go, Francine.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur reaches for it.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' She only gave me one. Why don't you ask your friend, the Brain?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Brain, Psst!
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Ratburn:''' No talking allowed during the test.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Mr. Ratburn, I didn't get a...
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Ratburn:''' Time's up.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' ...test.
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur walks over to Buster.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Francine and Brain better make up soon, or I'll never pass math.
| |
| | |

| | |
| ''In the lunch line, Brain and Francine both hold on to the same plate of green jello.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain+Francine:''' (struggle)
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Let go! I got it first.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' I dibsed it before you got it. You think you’re so smart, but you don't even know how dibs work.
| |
| | |
| ''The jello flies past Arthur and Buster and hits Mr. Haney in the back of the head.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Augh!
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Haney:''' Oh...
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The Lakewood team plays again. Arthur and Buster run side by side.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' (pants) I hope Francine and Brain aren't too mad to play together.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' (pants) They would never let an argument hurt our chances of winning.
| |
| | |
| ''Francine approaches the opposing goal with the ball.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' I'm open.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Arthur.
| |
| | |
| ''She passes to Arthur who is surrounded by opposing players.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Ahh!
| |
| | |
| ''The other players get the ball.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Oof.
| |
| | |
| ''He is left on the ground with his glasses askew, then he slumps backwards. The other team scores. Francine walks past Brain.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Why didn't you pass it to me?
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Is that the wind blowing? I don't hear or see anyone.
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Grr!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and Buster walk home after the game, still in their jerseys.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Oh! I think I sprained my tail bone.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' If Francine and Brain stay mad at each other, we'll never win another game.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' We will not be in the play-offs.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' We have to remind them how much they used to like each other.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Yeah. Maybe if they played something that was just fun.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and Francine play ping-pong against Brain and Buster.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Ping-pong is fun! Serve, Arthur.
| |
| | |
| ''Brain stares at Francine and does not move. The ball bounces off his racket over to Francine, who hits it hard.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' (grunts)
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Oh, yeah?
| |
| | |
| ''He takes out a ball and he and Francine play a tough single match with Arthur and Buster just watching.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Back to you!
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' (grunts)
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Well, they're playing together.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I'm not sure they're having fun.
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Take that!
| |
| | |
| '''Brain+Francine:''' (strain)
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Back over to you!
| |
| | |
| ''The ball goes back and forth so fast that it becomes a blur. Arthur and Buster try to follow it with their eyes until Buster passes out. Arthur’s eyes are swiveling and Brain and Francine are out of breath.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Whose point?
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' I don't know. The ball… appears to have vaporized.
| |
| | |
| ''Buster comes up from under the table.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' What about miniature golf?
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur, Buster, Francine and Brain are at the minigolf course.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I think they're having fun.
| |
| | |
| ''Francine hits a ball so hard, that it punches holes in obstacles and knocks over a model of the Eiffel Tower. The tower in turn causes a domino reaction in which two lampposts fall over and a windmill is smashed. The windmill’s blades nearly hit Mr. Haney, then chop off the ball from the course’s sign.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Haney:''' Whoa!
| |
| | |
| ''The ball part of the sign falls into a hole.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' That counts. Hole in one.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Francine and Brain play table ice-hockey while Arthur and Buster watch.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Your forward is offside.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' He can't be. He's on a stick.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur, Buster, Francine and Brain play cards in the treehouse.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' What's more fun than cards?
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Do you have any sixes?
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Go fish.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Go fish yourself!
| |
| | |
| ''She throws her cards up.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Any other ideas?
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur plays chess against his dad in the living room.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I don’t think Francine and Brain will never be friends again.
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Oh, I’m pretty sure they'll work it out themselves in time.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' But the play-offs are next week.
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. comes in with a sheet of paper.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Arthur, I need to do a new letter to Santa. This time I want to include prices for each present. Can you help me figure out prices in other countries? ''She holds up a calculator.'' Maybe on his travels, Santa could find some bargains and use the savings to get me even more presents.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''After the next game, the other team walk to their bus.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You guys, if we don't win soon, we're out of the play-offs.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Out of the play-offs? (chokes)
| |
| | |
| ''Francine and Brain walk away in opposite directions.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' I think that convinced them.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' (sighs)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''During the next game, Brain and Francine run into each other and fall down.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Oof!
| |
| | |
| ''An opposing player gets the ball. Francine stands near the other goal.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Brain, Brain, kick it to me!
| |
| | |
| ''Brain passes to Arthur, who is surrounded by opposing players again.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Help, Help!
| |
| | |
| ''They get the ball.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Come on, Francine!
| |
| | |
| ''Francine passes to Buster.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Ahh! Oof.
| |

| ''The players run him down. He ends up standing on his head with his ears in a knot, then he falls over.''

| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I'm getting killed out there. I can't play another game.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Ow! We only have one game left. Ow! And we have to win.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' But that game’s against Mighty Mountain.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur+Buster:''' We're doomed.
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. comes up.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Arthur, We need to work on my Santa letter again.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' D.W., why don’t you just call Santa?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' A letter is better, because I can get my thoughts organized and say it exactly right.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' That's it.
| |

| '''Arthur+Buster:''' Aww…
| |
