Trivia

Notes

• This is the fourth time that Arthur cries, the first time was Lost!, the second time was Buster's Back, and the third time was Arthur's Perfect Christmas.
• When D.W. said; "I'll get the clothes-pins," That started to help her & Arthur solve their problems of "No Parents."
• This is the second that Arthur and D.W. worry about losing their parents, the first time was Mom and Dad Have a Great Big Fight.

Goofs

• When Mrs. Read comes to the sink, her sleeve gets wet, but when she is washing the floors, it is dry.
• When Mrs. Read says, "Check the washer," her lips never move.
• After Arthur and D.W. change Kate's diaper, her diaper has flowers on it, but after she accidentally spills her breakfast and the floor gets clean, it has no flowers.

Quotes

• Arthur: Guess we didn't do as good a job as we thought.
• D.W.: You mean you didn't. Daddy didn't say anything about the laundry.
• Mr. Read: (screams in the bathroom) WHO CUT A HOLE IN MY PAJAMAS?!?!?!?!

---

• Arthur: Are Mom & Dad feeling any better today? (He & D.W. listen to the coughing sounds)
• D.W.: Does that answer your question? Oh, By the way, I sent Kate into the orphanage.
• Arthur: What?!
• D.W.: We just couldn't take care of her, Arthur. She deserves to be in a place that can change her diapers.
• Arthur: That's true. Besides, It's one less mouth to feed. But I sure will miss her.
• D.W.: (Starts to cry) Me too. If only we'd paid attention to all the work Mom & Dad do, Maybe we could've run the house better!
• Arthur: (Starts to cry too) I know! WE'RE TERRIBLE PARENTS!!!! (Cries with D.W. as their nightmare ended)
