|-
!Everybody:
|''[chitchat]''
|-
!Mr. Ratburn:
|''[claps ruler on table]'' Quiet down! Now as you may have heard - Buster, turn around please. School pictures have just been scheduled.
|-
!Muffy:
|What? Now? I can't have my picture taken in these rags!
|-
!Mr. Ratburn:
|For next Thursday afternoon. That should give you plenty of time to change your clothes, Miss Crosswire.
|-
!Arthur:
|''[Camera zooms to Arthur]'' There are a few things you have to remember about school pictures. Like, it's not a good idea to drink six cans of soda and then have your picture taken. ''[Buster's 2nd grade picture, he burps]'' Or rub your feet across the carpet and sit in a metal chair. ''[Prunella's hair sticks up]'' Or wear a flower if you have allergies. ''[Binky sneezes]''
|-

|-
!Arthur:
|One more out and we've got them!
|-
!Buster:
|We'll never do it. They're 4th graders.
|-
!4th Graders:
|''[Telling them to hurry up]''
|-
!Arthur:
|Remember the plan. No matter what, get the ball to Francine.
|-
!3rd Graders:
|'' Break! [Afterwards, they run onto the field. Arthur is the pitcher]''
|-
!Other 3rd Graders:
|C'mon Arthur! You can do it!
|-
!Arthur:
|''[Rolls the ball. Billy hits it, it heads right towards Arthur]''
|-
!Arthur:
|Whoaaaahhh! ''[The ball hits Arthur in the face]''
|-
!Francine:
|Watch it!
|-
!Francine:
|''[The ball is heading right towards her]''
|-
!Buster:
|I got it! I got it! ''[Buster comes running in. The two collide, causing them to miss the catch]''
|-
!3rd Graders:
|Awwwwwwwww...
|-
!Francine:
|''[Picks up the ball, runs to home plate and tags Billy out]''
|-
!Buster:
|Youuuuuuu're out!
|-
!3rd Graders:
|(cheer and hug Francine)

|-
!Prunella:
|My mother said I could get a new dress for picture day.
|-
!Muffy:
|I'm getting new shoes '''and''' a dress.
|-
!Francine:
|''[walks in, her clothes are beat up]'' We beat the 4th graders! I tagged them and we won! ''[Washes hands]''
|-
!Prunella:
|Well, anyway, we should compare dresses and make sure we're not wearing the same thing.
|-
!Muffy:
|''[talking to Francine]'' What are you wearing?
|-
!Francine:
|To what?
|-
!Muffy, Sue Ellen, Prunella:
|''[annoyed]'' School pictures!
|-
!Francine:
|Pictures? Who cares?
|-
!Prunella:
|Not you obviously.
|-
!Muffy:
|I think Francine will have the prettiest picture of all.
|-
!Francine:
|''[surprised]'' You do?
|-
!Muffy:
|''[bragging]'' Except for mine, of course. ''[Combs Francine's hair]''
|-
!Francine:
|''[Imagines that she is a prom queen. In reality, she has a knot in her hair.]'' Ow! 
|-
!Muffy:
|It would take a lot of work, but you could be a whole new Francine. We could even look like twins. Maybe.
|-
!Francine
|''[combing hair]'' Really? Nah.
|-
!Muffy:
|Leave it to me.
|-

|-
!Francine:
|''[She opens her closet, and sports equipment falls out]'' I told you I didn't have any dresses.
|-
!Muffy:
|''[Spots a pink dress]'' What's that? Back there? Put it on!
|-
!Francine:
|I'll look stupid!
|-
!Muffy:
|Do you want a nice school picture or not? Trust me.
|-
!Francine:
|''[She put the dress on, and looks into a mirror]''
|-
!Muffy:
|See? It's perfect. Once you fix the little rip over here. Just have your mom run a needle over that. And now, for your hair.
|-
!Francine:
|''[surprised]'' What's wrong with my hair?
|-
!Muffy:
|''[annoyed]'' ''[grabs a brush]'' Close your eyes until I tell you to look.
|-
!Francine:
|But!
|-
!Muffy:
|Do it! ''[brushes Francine's hair]''
|-
!Muffy:
|Okay, you can look now.
|-
!Francine:
|''[Muffy gave her a weird hairstyle]'' Ahhhhh!
|-
!Muffy:
|I don't get it. It always works for me.
|-
!Francine:
|Get me out of this!
|-
!Muffy:
|Wait, I have an idea. ''[Gets out her cell phone, calls somebody on speed dial]'' Hello? Flossie? Muffy.
|-
!Flossie:
|''[On the phone]'' Ahhhh Muffy! My favorite little client! Oh this is a treat!
|-
!Muffy:
|Can I bring a friend to my appointment? She '''really''' needs something special.
|-
!Flossie:
|You got it kid.
|-
!Muffy:
|Well that's great. Thank you. ''[hangs up]'' It's all set. Meet me tomorrow afternoon at the Salon de Beaute.
|-
!Francine:
|The what?
|-
!
|style="background:#{{Color3}};"|''[Salon de Beaute]''
|-
!Francine:
|You didn't say we were going to a beauty parlor! 
|-
!Muffy:
|What'd you think it was? A pet shop?
|-
!Francine:
|No way am I going in there.
|-
!Muffy:
|I knew you'd chicken out. Luckily, I brought my secret weapon. ''[Pulls out a horrible looking class photo of Francine from 2nd grade]'' Remember this? Last year's picture? Is '''this''' what you wanna look like?
|-
!Francine:
|''[bummed out]'' Okay... okay.... you win.
|-
!Muffy and Francine:
|''[Walks into the salon]''
|-
!Flossie:
|Muffy, Muffy! Oh how positively brilliant to see you! Everyone, look who's here!
|-
!Other Hair Stylists:
|You're looking fabulous today oh my!
|-
!Flossie:
|''[talking to Francine]'' And what have we here?
|-
!Francine:
|''[nervous]'' Francine?
|-
!Flossie:
|Oh, that's right. Ah, well, we don't promise miracles. Not in your price range anyway. ''[walks Francine to a chair, takes a picture of her. It comes up on the computer and shows how she would look with different hairstyles]'' This is our Queen of the Nile look, very popular. No?
|-
!Francine:
|''[Covers eyes]''
|-
!Flossie:
|Well then, let's try for something more Au Courant. ''[A beehive hairstyle comes up]''
|-
!Francine:
|Don't you have anything more normal?
|-
!Flossie:
|If you insist. Ah, I have just the thing. ''[A normal hairstyle comes up on the computer]''
|-
!Francine:
|''[sastisfied]'' I'll take that, I guess. Only not too much hairspray.
|-
!Flossie:
|You got it, kid. ''[Talks on microphone]'' One prom queen to go, extra curls, hold the sauce.
|-
!Flossie:
|''humming while washing Francine's hair. Combs it, cuts it, curls it'' And now my chéri, you will rest and wake up as the girl of your dreams.
|-
!Francine:
|''[falls asleep]''

|-
!Announcer:
|Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for. Let's hear it for FRANCINE FRENSKY! ''[Francine walks on a runway]'' Francine is putting a brand new hairdo. The crowd is loving it.
|-
!Francine
|Play ball!
|-
!Announcer:
|She prepares herself for the opening pitch, as she takes her place behind the plate. And there's the pitch! ''[Arthur pitches the kickball]''
|-
!4th Grade Male Rabbit:
|''[Francine tangles him in his hair, and catches the ball]'' Huh?
|-
!Umpire:
|Strike!
|-
!Announcer:
|What a dazzling play by Francine! 
|-
!Announcer:
|It's the bottom of the third inning, Francine runs all the way to the outfield and returns the ball! ''[Francine runs to the outfield, catches the ball, passes to Arthur who then catches it]'' To Arthur who makes the catch!
|-
!Umpire:
|You're out!
|-
!Announcer:
|It's the final play of the game! Francine races to beat the ball, she slides! ''[Francine slides to home plate just in time with her hair in there too]''
|-
!Umpire:
|SAFE!
|-
!Announcer:
|HER NEW HAIRDO TOUCHES THE PLATE JUST IN TIME! WHAT A GAME! ''[Everyone carries Francine out on her hair in celebration]''

|style="background:#{{Color3}};"|''[The Results]''
|-
!Muffy
|Francine? Francine!
|-
!Francine
|(wakes up and looks at her new hair-do)
|-
!Muffy
|So, what do you think?
|-
!Francine
|(in disappointment): I knew it.
|-
!Flossy
|Oh, if only she had hair like yours.
|-
!Muffy
|I think it's great! Wait till you see how it looks with your new dress!
|-
!Francine
|''[Pays Flossy with her money]'' There goes my new soccer ball. 
|-
!Muffy
|''[As they walk out of the beauty salon]'' Now, there are a few little things that you should know about hair care.
|-
!Francine
|''[Gets her bike]'' 
|-
!Muffy
|WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
|-
!Francine
|Riding my bike!
|-
!Muffy
|I don't think so! Bicycles and curls do NOT mix!
|-
!
|style="background:#{{Color3}};"|''Back at [Westboro Apartments]''
|-
!Muffy
|''[Finishes fixing the rip in Francine's dress]'' See, I told you it was worth it!
|-
!Francine
|''[Satisfied with her new look]''
|-
!Muffy
|Now remember what I said; no swimming, no riding in convertibles, and wear protective headgear in the rain. 
|-
!Francine's Mom (offscreen)
|Honey, Arthur called to remind you about the kickball game tomorrow. Don't forget to bring the ball!
|-
!Muffy
|Oh, I forgot. ABSOLUTELY NO KICKBALL!
|-
!Francine
|NO WAY! ''[Falls down on her bed]''
|-
!Muffy
|AND NO LYING DOWN!
|-
!Francine
|I can't do this! There's too many rules!
|-
!Muffy
|Remember my secret weapon? Well, then?
|-
!Francine
|''[Gets up]'' Okay.
|-

|-
!Arthur and Buster
|''[Kick and chase a ball of paper down the hallway until they see Muffy and Francine.]''
|-
!Muffy
|''[Crushes the paper ball with her foot.]''
|-
!Arthur and Buster
|Aaaaaah!
|-
!Francine
|Do you like it?
|-
!Buster
|No.
|-
!Francine
|I WASN'T ASKING YOU!
|-
!Arthur
|Well...it's....
|-
!Buster
|ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!
|-
!Arthur and Buster
|(laugh hysterically while on the ground)
|-
!Muffy
|Oh, pretend you don't see them! Boys ruin everything!
|-
!
|style="background:#{{Color3}};"|''In the Cafeteria''
|-
!Francine
|''[About to eat her sandwich until a hairpiece flies off and darts across the cafeteria]''
|-
!Buster
|(ducks) INCOMING! ''[Then he walks back to his table with the Brain]'' Was it an accident or does she look like that on purpose?
|-
!Brain
|Probably a combination of gravitational pull and too much stress on the hair follicles.
|- 
!Brain and Buster
|(laugh)
|- 
!Francine
|(enraged): YOU ARE GONNA GET IT!!!!!!!
|-
!Muffy
|Francine, calm down!
|-
!Francine and Muffy
|''[Francine accidentally squirts ketchup on her dress]'' Aaaah!
|-
!Muffy
|Now look what you did!
|-
!
|style="background:#{{Color3}};"|''Back in the Girls Room''
|-
!Muffy
|''[wipes off Francine's ketchup stain and then puts a green bow tie on the remaining part of the stain]'' There, you can't see a thing.
|-
!Francine
|Yes you can! It's all over....
|-
!Muffy
|Ahem! Now, if you just stay still until picture time, everything will be fine.
|-
!
|style="background:#{{Color3}};"|''The Big Game''
|-
!Arthur
|WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T PLAY?!?!?!?!
|-
!Muffy
|You heard her! She can't mess up her hair!
|-
!Arthur
|Why?!
|-
!Francine
|I have to keep it nice for school pictures.
|-
!Arthur
|But Francine, it's the fourth graders! They'll kill us if you don't play!
|-
!Muffy
|Good! (notices that Francine is slouching) NO SLOUCHING! Remember, good posture is the key to true beauty.
|-
!Buster
|She's lost her mind! That's all!
|-
!Arthur
|And we're gonna lose the game!
|-
!Buster
|Ah, who needs Francine? We're just as good! ''[The ball flies past the two.]'' Hey! ''The two collide again, causing them to miss the catch]''
|-
!Third Graders
|''[Jeer]''
|-
!4th Grade Bunny
|''[Runs, then stops]'' Can I help you find the ball?! (in mock) ''[Continues running]''
|-
!4th Graders
|''[Snicker, then cheer when the 4th Grade Bunny comes runs towards home plate]''
|-
!Francine
|COME ON YOU GUYS, GET UP!
|-
!Muffy
|SIT DOWN! (Muffy and Prunella restrain Francine)
|-
!4th Graders
|''[Cheer as one of the fourth graders scores a run]''
|-
!Francine
|It's 1-0!
|-
!4th Graders
|''[Cheer again as the 4th Grade Bunny scores a run]''
|-
!Francine
|2-0!
|-
!Muffy
|You have to get used to this Francine! If you want to look nice, no more kickball!
|-
!Prunella
|It's just a silly game anyway. What's the point of running around in a circle and getting your shoes dirty? ''[Ball comes towards her]'' Aaaah!
|-
!Francine
|''[Jumps off the bench and grabs the ball]''
|-
!3rd Graders
|''[Cheer]''
|-
!Buster
|(arguing with 4th Grade Bunny) SHE CAUGHT IT, AND YOU'RE OUT!
|-
!4th Grade Bunny
|She wasn't even playing! 
|-
!One of the 4th Graders
|Did you know that there's a poodle on your head?
|-
!Francine
|(at bat): Yeah, and it does tricks too! Watch! ''[Kicks the ball hard and slides into home base all dirty]'' SAFE!
|-
!3rd Graders
|''[Cheer in celebration as they win the game]''
|-

|-
!Muffy
|''[Blow dries her hair]'' HOW COULD YOU?!?!
|-
!Francine
|I'm sick of being perfect! Besides, I like the way I used to look.

|-
!Arthur
|''[walks up to the stool, sits down and smiles, but the picture develops as Arthur being shocked, since the flash reflected off his glasses]''
|-
!Muffy
|(holds Francine back) Listen to me! Don't go in there! You'll regret it forever!
|-
!Francine
|You're making it worse!

!Francine
|''[shrugs off of Muffy and proceeds to have her picture taken. It still develops similar to last year's photo.]''
|-
!Photographer

|-
!Muffy
|(as she sits on the stool): OH, THAT FRANCINE! ''[Muffy gives an angry look. After the pictures have been taken, she throws her picture away in the trash]''
|-
!Muffy
|It's like my father says, "You get what you pay for!" And if I were you, I'd burn those and quick!
|-
!Francine
|I sorta like them. See this smudge? I got it when I slid into home.
|-
!Arthur
|Hey, wanna trade? (he shows her his picture)
|-
!Muffy
|Hers didn't come out. Technical difficulties.
|-
!Francine
|I'll trade if you promise not to laugh!
|-
!Arthur
|I won't if you won't!
|-
!Francine
|Okay. ''[Arthur and Francine trade photos]''
|-
!Arthur
|I like it. Looks just like you!
|-
!Francine
|So does yours.
|-
!Muffy
|I give up Francine Frensky! I'm sorry to have to say this, but you'll never be like me!
|-
!Arthur
|Kickball?
|-
!Francine
|YOU BET! ''[The two run out of the school and head towards the field]''
