Double Dare/Transcript

D.W. Read: Arthur is much more interesting than brussel sprouts - sometimes.

(Arthur sticks his tongue out at her)

D.W.: Is it safe to come in?

Arthur: Yeah, it's a commercial.

D.W.: So has the clam eaten Dark Bunny yet?

Arthur: Yep.

D.W.: So are you gonna tell me what you look so guilty about?

Arthur: Will you quit it, D.W.? I don't look guilty! I look completely...not guilty!

Mom: Don't you have any homework, Arthur?

Arthur: I told you already, I am not guilty! SO LEAVE ME ALONE ALREADY!

Oliver: I'm very disappointed in you Francine!  Where on Earth did you get the idea to skip school?

Francine: (Angrily): I, I!  (Feeling down): It was my idea I guess, my stupid idea.

Mr. Haney : Then I'm afraid you'll have to spend all of next week after school, and this had better not happen again.

Francine: It won't.

Mr. Ratburn: I'm VERY disappointed in you Miss Frensky.

Francine: I know.

Arthur: WAIT!  This isn't fair.  It wasn't Francine's idea.  It was my idea, only not really, because I never meant to do it.  But then, we got dared and Brain said we HAD TO do it, and it was the only way we could watch Dark Bunny and not do our homework.  So, anyway, if Francine's punished, then I should be punished

Buster: Arthur's right, punish me too.

Binky (Moved): And me, punish me.

Arthur (To Binky): You didn't have anything to do with it.

Binky: Oh yeah, forget it.

Mr. Ratburn: Nice try, I applaud your spirit.  But since you managed to make it to school, it makes no sense to punish you.

Arthur and Buster both: But, but

Mr. Ratburn: But, I AM glad to have a plausible explanation for why you didn't do your homework.  For that, I will give you an extra assignment.

Both boys: Yay, alright!
