| ==Introduction==
| | Hi Mrs. Tibble Have you heard about the Bike-a-thon. |
|
| |
|
| ''Arthur rides his bike down the street.''
| | The Bike-a-thon |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur:''' Do your little brothers and sisters have to do everything that you do? | | The money's for the school |
|
| |
|
| ''D.W. overtakes him on her bike with training wheels.'' | | Hi [[Arthur Read|Arthur]], Go away, We're riding in the Bike-a-thon. |
|
| |
|
| '''D.W.:''' Arthur!
| | Grandma's sponsoring us. |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Even if they're too young? Like at my birthday party...
| |
| | |
| ''Flashback: Francine blindfolds Arthur for a game of “Pin the tail on the donkey”.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' My turn! I wanna play now.
| |
| | |
| ''She grabs the donkey’s tail.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' The games are for big kids, D.W.
| |
| | |
| ''He walks off.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I'm not little! I can play this.
| |
| | |
| ''She holds her hand over her eyes and pins the tail on Arthur’s backside.''
| |
| | |
| '''Kids:''' (giggle)
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' What's so funny? What?
| |
| | |
| ''Flashback: Arthur prepares to throw a hoop while Brain, Buster, and Binky watch.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur (narrator):''' Or the time she entered a basketball shooting contest just because I did?
| |
| | |
| ''He throws. Judging from the boys’ reaction, he misses. The girls are at the other side of the gymnasium. D.W. scores.''
| |
| | |
| '''Girls:''' (cheer)
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur throws again. The boys look disappointed.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur (narrator):''' And she won. That was embarrassing.
| |
| | |
| ''The flashback ends.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Arthur!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Now she wants to ride a two-wheeler.
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. overtakes him again.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Arthur!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' What is it, D.W.?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I don't know how to stop!
| |
| | |
| ==Title Card: Super Sister==
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur glues a poster for a bike-a-thon to a fence. Then he rings Mrs. Tibble’s door.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Hi, Mrs. Tibble. Have you heard about the bike-a-thon?
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Tibble:''' The bike-a-thon where people donate money for each mile you ride?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Yes, the money’s for the school.
| |
| | |
| ''The twins look from under the floorboards beside Arthur.''
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy:''' Hey, Arthur! Go away! We’re riding in the bike-a-thon.
| |
| | |
| '''Tommy:''' Grandma's sponsoring us!
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Tibble:''' Now, boys, I can donate to Arthur, too.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Thanks, Mrs. Tibble. Bye, guys. Aahh!
| |
| | |
| ''He tries to leave and falls, because the twins have tied his shoelaces together.''
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy+Tommy:''' (chuckle)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. rides up to Arthur and Francine on a tricycle. Arthur is just putting on his bike helmet.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Are we going riding, Arthur?
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You can’t come, D.W. We’re practicing for the bike-a-thon.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' So? I can ride in the bike-a-thon with you guys.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' I don’t think you can. A tricycle can't keep up with two-wheelers.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I bet I can! I'm good.
| |
| | |
| ''She rides a few yards backwards and forwards. Buster comes on his bike.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Hi, Buster.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Did your mom say you can ride in the bike-a-thon, Buster?
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Yeah, but I have to carry a cellular phone and call every half mile.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Great! We'd better start getting in shape.
| |
| | |
| ''The big kids ride off, D.W. follows.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' We can't slow down for you, D.W. We have to practice.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' You don't have to slow down for me.
| |
| | |
| ''The others overtake her.''
| |
| | |
| ''The kids go up a hill. D.W. falls behind.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' (pants) ''She stops pedaling on top of the hill and rolls backwards.'' Aaaahh! Whoa! ''She crashes backwards into the Reads’ garage.'' (pants)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''In her imagination, D.W. stands in front of the garage with a new bike and a winged helmet. A golden plate below the seat says “D.W.”. She puts her foot on the pedal and the bike drives off with the sound of a motorbike.''
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. overtakes Arthur, Francine, and Buster who start spinning.''
| |
| | |
| ''A girl on horseback rides through Monument Valley. She notices D.W. catching up with her. She and the horse spin and dig themselves into the ground.''
| |
| | |
| ''Two race car drivers are overtaken by D.W.''
| |
| | |
| '''Driver:''' Wow! What kind of bike is that?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' A two-wheeler! Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
| |
| | |
| ''The fantasy ends. D.W. sits on her tricycle in front of the garage.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Vroom, vroom, vroom!
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy+Tommy:''' (laugh)
| |
| | |
| ''The Tibbles are at the gate on two-wheelers.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Vr...o...oom….
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy:''' Hey, D.W., it sounds like you sprung a leak.
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy+Tommy:''' (laugh)
| |
| | |
| '''Tommy:''' Do you like our new bikes?
| |
| | |
| ''Each boy presses a button on the handle. A bat and a panther pop out of boxes.''
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy:''' I guess you can't ride in the bike-a-thon like us.
| |
| | |
| '''Tommy:''' Because it's a bike-a-thon, not a trike-a-thon! (laughs)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The Reads sit at the dinner table. Kate puts her head in her bowl and drinks.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Use your spoon, dear.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Mom, do I have to have broccoli?
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Arthur, if you don't eat your broccoli...
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Father, may I serve you potatoes?
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Thank you, D.W.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' My compliments to the chef. Everything is delicious.
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Well, how nice of you, honey.
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Okay, D.W. What do you want?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I want to ride a two-wheeler. If Arthur can do it, how hard can it be? Please?
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. is in a bike shop with her parents. One bike has lots of glittering reflectors.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Too flashy. ''One bike has a toothy mouth painted on the front.'' Too angry. ''A pink bike with wings.'' Too girly. ''A bike with a tiny front wheel.'' Well, that'll last about an hour before it breaks.
| |
| | |
| ''A boy walks up to the bike.''
| |
| | |
| '''Boy''' Wow!
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Huh?
| |
| | |
| ''She pulls away from her mom’s hand.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Huh?
| |
| | |
| ''D.W looks at a bike that looks almost like the one from her fantasy.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Wow! ''She spins a pedal.'' Mm. ''She touches the frame.'' Ohh. ''She feels the saddle.'' Mm. (sighs) ''She walks up to her parents.'' I love it!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>~~~</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''In the Reads’ garage, D.W. directs her dad as he takes the bike out of the car’s trunk.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Careful, careful! This way. Okay. Put it down right there. ''He does.'' Hmm!
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' Is something wrong?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Yup. ''She runs to a stool and draws something on a piece of paper.'' There! Ta-da!
| |
| | |
| ''She has written “D.W.”''
| |
| | |
| ''The D.W.-sign is now attached to the back of the bike.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Now it's perfect.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Mr. Read is building a lasagna that looks like the Taj Mahal.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I'm ready for my first lesson.
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' I’m sorry, D.W., I have to finish this lasagna Taj Mahal for the Elwood City culture club. And your Mom's gone into town.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' (sobs)
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Arthur!
| |
| | |
| ''Mr. Read walks out to the street, where Arthur, Francine, Buster, and Brain are standing with their bikes.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Could you do me a big favor and give D.W. a riding lesson? Please.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' But, Dad, we have to practice.
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Thanks.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' You guys ride without me. I have to teach my sister.
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' I'll help you.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' We'll all help. We’re the best bike riders going.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The kids stand in front of the garage with D.W.’s bike.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Let's start with the basics. ''He takes out a pointing stick.'' This is a bicycle. Its propulsion consists of an interlocking...
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I just want to ride it, not build one.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Excuse me, Professor Complicated! D.W., everyone knows the most important thing about riding is…
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Stopping!
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Pedaling!
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Steering!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Going really, really fast!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Let's start with something we all agree on - wearing a helmet.
| |
| | |
| ''He puts one on D.W.''
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' You’re putting it on backwards.
| |
| | |
| ''He turns it sideways.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' That is not backwards.
| |
| | |
| ''She moves it so that it goes over D.W.’s eyes.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Francine, it's covering her eyes.
| |
| | |
| ''Francine adjusts the helmet correctly.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' It's not covering her eyes, it’s protecting them.
| |
| | |
| '''Kids:''' (argue)
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. runs to her bike and whistles.''
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Huh?
| |
| | |
| ''Buster’s watch beeps.''
| |
| | |
| '''Buster:''' Oops. Gotta get home for lunch.
| |
| | |
| '''Brain:''' Me, too.
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' Me, three.
| |
| | |
| ''They leave. D.W. gets on the bike.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Vroom!
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I'll teach you more after lunch, D.W.
| |
| | |
| ''He leaves.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Arthur, How do I get down?
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''After lunch, Arthur and D.W. meet on the sidewalk in front of their house.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Time for your next lesson.
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. turns in the saddle.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Whee! Teach me tricks.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' First, you have to learn the hand signals. ''He raises his right hand.'' Right turn. ''D.W. imitates him.'' Left turn. Slow down and stop.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' What's this mean?
| |
| | |
| ''She waves her hands and makes a silly face.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' I don't know. What?
| |
| | |
| ''Mr. Sipple comes running with a cabbage head. He has a towel wrapped around him like he just came out of the shower.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Hi, Mr. Sipple. What's this?
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Sipple:''' What’s that? You did this. ''He makes the silly face.'' Where I come from, doing that on a bike means "bring me a cabbage fast." (gasps) I left the tub running! Bye!
| |
| | |
| ''He runs off.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Let's go. I want to hit the open road and feel the wind in my hair. Are you ready to pedal?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I'm ready.
| |
| | |
| ''He gives her a push.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Pedal!
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Arthur! I don't know how to stop.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Pedal backwards.
| |
| | |
| ''Offscreen, a crash is heard.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Ooh- Oof! ''Arthur runs to D.W. who is lying on her side.'' (sobs)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur rides his bike, followed by D.W. who is using training wheels. They both give a hand sign before turning round a corner. They stop at an intersection at the park to let a bus go by.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Arthur and D.W. get chased by three dogs.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' This is a very important lesson: avoid dogs!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The Tibbles are riding their bikes in their yard.''
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy+Tommy:''' Vroom! Vroom! Beep! Beep! Beep! Whoa!
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Slow down! I want the Tibbles to see me on a two-wheeler. (gasps)
| |
| | |
| ''Timmy and Tommy make the bat and panther pop out of their bikes.''
| |
| | |
| '''Tommy:''' Hey, Timmy, look at those doofy training wheels.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Grr!
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy:''' (laughs) For a minute, I thought D.W. was on a real two-wheeler.
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy+Tommy:''' (laugh)
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The Reads sit at the dinner table. Kate sticks a slice of banana on her forehead.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Father, this broccoli is ''so'' good, I think I’d like some for dessert.
| |
| | |
| '''Mrs. Read:''' What do you want now, D.W.?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Arthur, tell them how well I ride.
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' She did good.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Good? I was great. I'm ready to ride without training wheels. Pleaaase?
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''In the garage, the training wheels are off. Arthur and the parents watch D.W.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I've never felt so free. ''She looks uncomfortable, then falls to the side.'' Ow!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Mr. Read holds D.W. steady.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Okay, let go... now! Aaah! ''She disappears offscreen and crashes. Her family wince, then rush to help. D.W. has fallen upside down into a trashcan.'' Help!
| |
| | |
| ''Mr. Read is about to pull her out.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' Face it, Dad, she's too little.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' No, I'm not!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. stands on a stool in the kitchen. There are several band-aids on her and Mrs. Read adds one more.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' I can put the training wheels back on for the bike-a-thon, and you can take your time learning.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I am not too little! I don’t want any help. I can learn this stuff myself.
| |
| | |
| ''She puts on her helmet and jumps off the stool.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''Pal and Kate watch from the window, as D.W. practices in front of the garage. She sits on the bike with one foot on a small box. She raises the foot and falls.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Oof!
| |
| | |
| '''Kate:''' Mmm.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. tries again. This time she is able to ride a few yards.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Aaaah! Oof!
| |
| | |
| ''She crashes into the fence. Little Tibbles circle round her head and laugh.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. holds on to the fence, then starts riding. She does well, until the Tibbles overtake her and she loses control.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Whoaaa!
| |
| | |
| ''She crashes into the neighbor’s garage.''
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''On a rainy day, Pal and Kate watch D.W. crash into the garage door.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Whoa! Oof!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''D.W.’s arms, legs, and face are covered in band-aids.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I don’t care if it takes till I’m twenty-one and I’m a giant scab, I’m gonna learn to do this!
| |
| | |
| ''She starts riding.''
| |
| | |
| '''Kate:''' (giggles)
| |
| | |
| ''She hugs Pal, who licks her.''
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. passes Arthur, Francine, and Buster.''
| |
| | |
| '''Arthur:''' All right, D.W.!
| |
| | |
| '''Francine:''' You're riding great.
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' I know.
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''The Tibbles ride their bikes in their yard.''
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy+Tommy:''' Vroom! Vroom! Beep! Beep! Beep!
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Hi, Tommy. Hi, Timmy.
| |
| | |
| '''Tommy:''' Aaah! Oof.
| |
| | |
| ''He falls over a rock while Timmy rides into a bush.''
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy:''' Aaah!
| |
| | |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
| | |
| ''On the day of the bike-a-thon, people on their bikes wait at the starting line.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Haney:''' The bike-a-thon officially begins when I wave the green flag. Go!
| |
| | |
| ''The bike-a-thon starts. D.W. rides next to her parents. Kate sits in a baby seat behind her dad.''
| |
| | |
| '''Mr. Read:''' Do you feel grown-up riding a two-wheeler, D.W.?
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Uh-huh.
| |
| | |
| ''The Tibbles overtake them.''
| |
| | |
| '''Timmy+Tommy:''' Hi, D.W.!
| |
| | |
| ''D.W. sees a blonde lady in a sports car.''
| |
| | |
| '''D.W.:''' Mom, Dad, how old do I have to be to drive a car? Not a big car, just a little convertible, so I can feel the wind in my hair. I won't go fast. I promise.
| |
|
| |
|
| | Now boys, I can donate to Arthur too. |
