The Big Blow-Up/Transcript

Arthur Read: Brain and Francine are great friends, but don't talk to them about sports.

Francine Frensky: Hockey players are the best athletes 'cause they skate while they play. That's like playing two sports at once!

Alan Powers: But could a hockey player play golf?

Francine: Yes!

The Brain: While driving an ???? Car 200 7 miles an hour?

(Fantasy)

Nigel Ratburn: This is not an easy putt. Everything's quiet. He needs to concentrate.

(A hockey player in a race car zooms by and lands in the water)

Ratburn: He's in the lake. ??????????

(Fantasy ends)

Arthur: Want to hear their best argument? Hey guys, who's the best athlete in school?

Francine: That's easy! It's me!

The Brain: Pardon my insistence upon accuracy, but it is "I".

Francine: It's me!

The Brain: It is I!

Francine: Me!

The Brain: I!

Arthur: Get comfortable! This could go on awhile!

(We now return to the story)

Arthur and Buster have written fake letters of apology to Francine and Brain.

Francine: I accept his apology, but I can’t believe Brain spelled “soccer” with two K’s and a Q.

Brain: I refuse to give in to her list of demands.

Arthur: What??

Brain: "I want blue footie pajamas and a blonde princess mall rat?" No way!

Arthur: That’s my sister’s Christmas list. Um, Francine’s letter is on the back. Somehow.

Brain: Oh, much better.

#

Francine: Arthur! Buster! We know you wrote those letters.

Arthur: Sorry. But can’t you wait to be mad at each other until after the playoffs?

Francine: We’re not mad at each other. We’re mad at you guys.

#

Arthur: You spelled "soccer" with two K’s and a Q?

Buster: Oh yeah, it’s two Q’s and a K, right?

Binky's Mom: Binky!
