[Arthur and Francine ride their bike to Muffy's House. When they get there, they see the workers rolling out new lawn. Then, a weedwhacker comes across] | ||
Francine and Arthur: | [gasp and run] | |
Francine: | You think you can do it Arthur? | |
Arthur: | I've got to, Francine! [He heads over to the mailbox and puts in the invitation] | |
Muffy: | Are you sure this is going to be done in time? | |
Millicent: | Muffy, why don't you go check the mail. | |
Muffy: | Okay. Maybe there's something for me! | |
Francine: | Muffy's coming! | |
Muffy: | [runs towards the mailbox] | |
Arthur [hides behind a tree, and then says to the viewers]: | Oh no! If Muffy catches me, my entire birthday will be ruined! | |
[Title Card] | ||
[Arthur is writing invitations to his friends for his birthday party. Meanwhile, D.W. comes along] | ||
D.W.: | What are you playing? | |
Arthur: | I'm not playing. I'm writing invitations to my birthday party. | |
D.W. [picks up a piece of paper and begins to write]: | How do you spell "party"? | |
Arthur: | P-A-R-T-Y. Why? | |
D.W. [while writing on the paper]: | I'm making invitations to my birthday party. | |
Arthur: | Your birthday is not for six months! | |
D.W.: | Yeah, but I'm gonna invite everyone! And I write slow![begins writing, then realizes her pencil broke] | |
[In the basement of the Read House] | ||
Jane: | [takes out the laundry. Pal snatches a towel and bites on it.] Give me that, you little scamp! | |
Arthur: | Mom, my invitations are all written! | |
D.W. [with one invitation in her hand while Arthur has a majority of them notices Pal tugging on the towel]: | Look at that dog! He's eating a towel! Arthur, your dog can't tell towels from food! | |
Arthur [picks up Pal and takes him to the calendar]: | Come on boy! I can't wait! How many days left? One, two, three... four more days until my birthday! | |
D.W.: | I think it would be easier to teach him to use a calculator than to count. | |
Jane: | Arthur? Are you ready to go buy party supplies? | |
Arthur: | Yeah! [Everyone walks out of the basement] | |
[At the Party Store, Arthur and D.W. are amazed to see all the different types of party supplies on sale. They then run and explore the store.] | ||
Arthur: | Whoa! | |
D.W.: | Double whoa! [She then stops and notices some square balloons. Then she asks the store employee....] How do you get square balloons? | |
Store Employee: | Blow square breaths! | |
D.W.: | Oh... | |
Jane and Arthur: | [Goof around by blowing the noisemakers at eachother] | |
Arthur: | [Continues shopping around the store and then notices a balloon in the shape of Mr. Haney's head.] | |
D.W. [Walks up to Arthur with unicorn plates in her hand]: | Get these pretty plates Arthur! | |
Arthur: | No way D.W.! I'm getting these! [Shows her Bionic Bunny Plates] | |
D.W.: | Blech! | |
[At Home, Everyone is sitting at the dining table. Kate puts her food all over her face then laughs.] | ||
Grandma Thora: | What kind of birthday cake should I bake? | |
Arthur: | Chocolate! | |
Kate: | [coos] | |
D.W.: | See, Arthur? Even Kate agrees with me about the plates. | |
Jane: | Have a good day at school honey! | |
D.W.: | And don't forget to hand out your invitations! [hands over the invitations to Arthur] | |
Arthur: | I hope everybody can come to my party! | |
[At School, Arthur hands out invitations to his friends] | ||
Arthur: | Buster, can you come to my party? | |
Buster: | Are you kidding?! Of course! | |
Arthur: | Binky Barnes. | |
Binky: | Me?! | |
Arthur: | Yeah, and Francine. | |
Francine: | Oh boy! We could play spin the bottle! [walks away. Buster, Arthur, and Francine are a little creeped out] | |
Binky: | [whispers] It's not too late to uninvite her. | |
Arthur: | No, I'll just do the recycling that morning so there'll be no bottles in the house. | |
Arthur and Muffy (in unison): | Will you come to my party? | |
Muffy: | Sure! When is it? | |
Arthur: | Saturday Afternoon! I can't wait! | |
Prunella, Sue Ellen, and Fern: | [gasp] | |
Muffy: | This Saturday?! But that's when I'm having my party! [hands out her invitations] I would've handed out my invitations two days ago, but they came back late from the printer. | |
Arthur: | [hands out his invitations to the girls] Can you change your party to another day? | |
Muffy: | Are you kidding?! The rock band and Pickles the Clown have been booked for months! | |
Buster: | You got Pickles?! He did my cousin's wedding! He's a genius! | |
Students: | Ooooh, Pickles! | |
Arthur: | But I can't change my party either! All of my relatives are coming from Ohio! | |
Students: | Ooooh, Ohio! | |
Muffy: | Well then, everybody will just have to choose which party to attend. | |
[Everyone looks at their invitations and thinks about which party to attend.] | ||
Binky: | What are you thinking about? | |
Francine: | About who's party to go to. Why? What are you thinking about? | |
Binky: | Where's Ohio? | |
[Outside on the playground during recess] | ||
Buster [while dribbling a basketball]: | As boys, we have to stick together! [passes the ball to Binky] | |
Binky: | The rabbit's right as rain! | |
Brain: | I agree! We all go to Arthur's party! | |
Arthur: | What about the girls? | |
Buster: | Ah, who needs girls? | |
};"|[Meanwhile.... | ||
Muffy: | Who needs boys? Anyone who doesn't come to my party can't be my friend anymore! | |
Francine: | But a party won't be fun without the boys! | |
Muffy: | Are you my friend or not?! | |
Coach Grimslid: | [blows whistle] Come here kids! [everyone rushes to a rope for tug of war] Let's choose sides for a tug of war! Muffy, you be one captain! Buster, you be the other! Muffy, choose your first player! | |
Muffy [chooses the girls]: | This team looks good to me! | |
Buster [angrily]: | That's fine! | |
Coach Grimslid: | Okay then, the team that pulls the other team over this line wins! [blows whistle] | |
};"|[Everyone pulls the rope and Muffy and Buster argue verball | ||
Muffy: | Who needs boys?! Pull! Who needs boys?! Pull! | |
Buster: | Who needs girls?! Pull! Who needs girls?! Pull! | |
Binky: | Come on guys, pull! [then ties the rope to his waist] | |
Prunella: | [ties the other part of the rope to the playground set, but then the rope breaks] | |
Arthur: | I guess nobody wins. | |

Arthur: | Everybody's really starting to hate each other. | |
Francine: | This is just terrible, Arthur! What's a party without boys?! | |
Buster: | [makes a raspberry while pulling down his ears to the girls] | |
Muffy, Prunella, and Fern: | [make a raspberry] | |
Arthur: | I wish you could come to my party. | |
Francine: | I promised Muffy. How can I go to both? | |
Arthur: | Wait a minute! I have an idea! [whispers in Francine's ear] | |
Francine: | That's a great idea, Arthur!! | |
Arthur: | Shhh, but we have to keep it secret! | |
;"|[At the Treehouse. Arthur and Francine are re-writing the invitations] | ||
Francine: | Let me write them. It has to look like Muffy's handwriting. | |
Arthur: | Okay, but be sure there's one for all the girls. I'll write the note to Muffy myself. [begins writing] | |

Francine: | Shhhhhhh! [Francine is frozen.] [Arthur opens the door, covering her.] | |
Muffy: | I'm here for my present! | |
Everyone: | Surprise! Happy birthday! | |
