Arthur's First Day/Transcript

(Arthur wakes up in his bedroom. His alarm clock reads 6:57.)

Arthur: Do you ever wake up right before your alarm clock goes off? (He wakes up, and Pal jumps on him, causing him to chuckle happily.) I'm up, boy, I'm up.

(The door opens and the light turns off, revealing David Read behind them.)

David: Arthur, are you...?

Arthur: Yep, I'm awake.

(David gives Arthur a thumbs up, and then leaves.)

Arthur: It's like you body just knows it has to get up.

(He then gets out of bed. After the clock transition, Arthur is in the bathroom brushing his teeth.)

Arthur: Maybe it's because I'm nervous about today. What if I get a big wart right on my nose?

(A wart then pops up on Arthur's nose, and he gasps. The mirror then cracks. Suddenly, the Tough Customers appear behind him.)

Tough Customers: (laughing)

Binky: (points at Arthur) Look at warty-wart face!

Molly: It's bigger than his nose!

Rattles: It's like he's growing another head.

(The Tough Costumers then disappear, causing Arthur to look in the mirror to check for any warts on his nose.)

Arthur: Whew! At least I don't have to worry about that.

(He then continues brushing his teeth. After the toothbrush transition, he is putting his new school supplies in his backpack. He's wearing a green sweater with a big yellow stripe in the middle.)

Arthur: Or maybe I'm just excited. (He smells his new notebook and sighs.) Does anything smell better than a brand-new notebook? (He puts the notebook in his backpack.) And check it out, my new pencil case. Dark Bunny vs. Trashasaurus. (He puts his pen inside his pencil case and puts it in his backpack.) Maybe I'm a little bit of both - nervous and excited. (He walks out of his bedroom.) But there's one thing I know I am... Ready. Fourth grade, here I come! (He then walks down the stairs.)

Title Card: Arthur waits for D.W. to come down the stairs Francine: (V.O.) "Arthur's First Day". (Molly looks at someone with her eyes)

Molly: Zip it.

(Emily is crying)

(Emily turns away from Muffy in anger)

Muffy: I'm her big buddy.

Molly: (sarcasm) Wow. Lucky Emily.

Muffy: (gasps) I'd never do that.

Molly: You're not big buddy material.

(Emily growls at Muffy)
(Muffy is ashamed of herself)
