| | BULLY FOR BINKY |
|
| |

| | [[Francine Frensky]]: We have to do something about the Binky problem. |
|
| |
|
| ''Binky steps in front of them.'' | | Buster: Yeah, I haven't tasted a dessert all year. |
|
| |
|
| '''Binky''': What's the matter? Can't see?
| | Arthur: What we need is an emergency anti-Binky plan. |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur''': No. | | Brain: Let's examine Binky to discover his weaknesses. See, He's big, he's strong. His large feet root him solidly to the ground. |
|
| |
|
| '''Binky''': Then I guess you'll have to wait till you grow up to see a parade! (laughs)
| | Arthur: He's like a tree, except without the birds. |
|
| |
|
| ''The flashbacks end. Arthur is about to eat a cookie.''
| | Buster: A tree that can chase after you. |
|
| |
|
| '''Binky''': That's an awful big cookie for one kid to eat, Arthur.
| | Francine: I can't think of any weaknesses. |
|
| |
|
| ''Arthur gives him half of his cookie.'' | | === # === |
| | ''Binky throws a basketball that hits Sue Ellen who is jumping rope.'' |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur''': But what can you do about a bully who's also huge? | | '''Binky''': Ha-ha! D'you lose count on your widdle jump wope? |
| | |
| '''Binky''': (burps) Ah.

| | |
| '''Francine''': We have to do something about the Binky problem
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Yeah, I haven't tasted a dessert all year! | |
| | |
| '''Binky''': Coming through!
| |
| | |
| ''Binky slides on a ladder knocking several other kids down.''
| |
| | |
| '''Kids:''' Hey! Whoa! Look out!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur''': What we need is an emergency anti-Binky plan.
| |
| | |
| ''Brain holds up a drawing of Binky.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain''': Let's examine Binky and we'll discover his weaknesses. He's big, he's strong, his large cumbersome feet root him solidly to the ground...
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur''': He's like a tree, except without the birds.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' A tree that can chase after you.

| |
| | |
| '''Francine''': So? So he likes dessert. So what?
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Maybe we can feed him so much he'll get too slow to chase us.
| |
| | |
| ''The drawing of Binky in his hand inflates like a balloon.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur''': I don't think that's a good idea. He'd probably just fall on us and flatten us.
| |
| | |
| ''The drawing shows Binky sitting on the others.''
| |
| | |
| '''Kids (on drawing):''' (scream)
| |
| | |
| '''Brain''': Face it. There's no one on earth big enough to challenge Binky.
| |
| | |
| ''Binky attempts to throw a hoop. The ball bounces off the board and hits Sue Ellen who is jumping rope.''
