• Arthur: Prepare to lose.

• D.W. Read: What?

• Arthur: I said "Prepare to Lose"

• D.W.: This doesn't help. I can't read.

• Francine: Let's get ready to fight.

• D.W.: Arthur

• Arthur: 2 D.W.s

• D.W.: No. Not 2 D.W.s. There's only one of me.
• Binky Barnes: We figured it out to fight someone your own size.
• Arthur: You know. You're right. I would love to fight someone my own size. You wait here. I'll go find someone.
• Binky: Come back and fight.
• D.W.: (laughs while Binky chases Arthur)

(Intertitle shows)

(In Arthur's room)

• D.W.: What kind of a game is that?
• Arthur: It's not a game. It's a scale model of a Bell X-1 Rocket Plane. The plane that broke a sound barrier.
• D.W.: The sound barrier must be pretty hard. (Touches the pieces) Because this plane is all smashed up.
• Arthur: It's not Smashed. I'm gonna build it. (Snatches the pieces from D.W.) Stop touching everything or You'll mess up the pieces.
• D.W.

(Arthur growls at her)

(In the dining room)

• Arthur: (painting his plane until he was interruped by D.W.)
• D.W.: Is that a same broken plane when you're fixing yesterday?
• Arthur: Don't do that. I need to concentrade.
• D.W.: That's a pretty color. (Accidentally spills the paint which pisses Arthur off)
• Arthur: (Shouts angrily)
• D.W.: (Laughing nervously) Bye.
• Arthur: (Pissed off; Growling)

(Outside of house)

• D.W.: If it could break a sound barrier. Falling out of the window shouldn't be able to break it.
• Arthur: (Loses his temper and screams at D.W. for touching his plane) I told you not to touch it.
• D.W.: You build it all wrong. Did you even read the directions. (That pisses Arthur off)
• Arthur: (Having finally had enough of D.W., furiously gets up and make a fist)
• D.W.: It didn't fly for 1 second. It's not my fault if you made a plane that can't fly.

• Arthur: I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH IT!

• (he angrily hits D.W. in the arm)

• D.W.: (cries in tears)

• Mother: Arthur Timothy Read, come here!

• Arthur: Uh-oh. Middle name.

(In the kitchen)

• D.W.: Are they gonna amputake my arm?

• Father: No, honey, it's amputate, not amputake.

• D.W.: Are they gonna amputate?!

• Father: No. I'm in charge, and I'm putting ice on it. (D.W. shrieks) What's wrong?

• D.W.: That's cold.

(In the hallway)

• Mother: Apologize to your sister.

• Arthur: No way she should apologize to me I worked all week on this. (Arthur shows his mom the broken model plane) I told her a million times not to touch it.

• (David Read carrying D.W.)

• D.W.: You're bad.

(In the living room)

• David: Arthur this means no TV for a week.

• Arthur: What that is so unfair. (Arthur furiously turns to his left on the stool) You don't care what she even did to me.

• Jane: We'll deal what she did, but you what you did is wrong too.

(At the school, Arthur and Buster walking)

• Arthur: I missed Bionic Bunny last night, because I can't watch TV a whole week. Can you believe that.

• Buster: Nope. Don't believe it, you hit your sister that's terrible.

• Arthur: C'mon it's like you never hit anybody.

• Buster: Nope

• (Arthur and Buster entering the school)

• Binky: Did you hear that. Arthur just hit his sister, I'm for one of shocked.

• 4th Grade Male Dog: How you could be shocked about hitting someone.

• Binky: Why not.

• (Binky stands up to Molly)

• Molly: Well you're Binky Barnes ,you always. You know, cant remember the last time that you hit anybody

• (Binky gets confused)

• Binky: Well, what do you mean.

• (Schoolbell rings)

• Binky: Hah, don't want to be late

(In the school hallways)

• Molly: So what was it Bink

• 4th Grade Male Dog: So Binky doesn't have to remember the past glorious fights.

• (Binky turns around)

• Binky: That's right

• 4th Grade Male Dog: That he is afraid of no one of his established factoid

• Binky: That's right

• 4th Grade Male Dog: He can prove it easily by socking the very next kid who turns that corner
