Night Fright/Transcript

Mr. Barnes: You were yelling your sleep.

Binky: That was the worst nightmare I ever had. I didn't even get a chance to eat anything.

Mr. Barnes: No wonder, it's not plugged in.

Binky: Oh yeah, I bumped it when I was playing, but I was too scared to plug it in the dark.

(It's a stormy afternoon, and almost everyone's rides have come and gone)

Buster Baxter: My mom's here. See you later.

Bitzi Baxter: Buster, close that raincoat. You'll get double pneumonia..

(car horn honks)

Francine Frensky: Mom! Yahoo!

Binky Barnes: Maybe your parents forgot about you.

Arthur Read: No, they're coming from my aunt Lucy's house. It's pretty far.

Binky: If they don't come, you'll be alone in the empty school all night.

Arthur: Uh uh.

Binky: Uh huh. (car horn honks) That's my mom! Too bad! I guess you'll be here all alone.

Mrs. Barnes: Arthur, your mom called me. Your family has to spend the night at your aunt's because they had car trouble. So you'll be spending the night at our house. You can share Binky's room.

Binky: (now tiny, stuck in his night light in the clown's eye, screaming) Let me out of here!

Arthur: Okay, who's ready to see Binky's little night light?

Binky: No, let me out! No, no, NO, NO! AAAAHHHH! (All of Arthur's friends laugh as Binky screams and possibly burns. Thunder and lightning flashes. Binky wakes up again) NO-O-O-O-O!

Arthur: What's happening?

Mrs. Barnes: Oh, honey! You forgot to turn on your night light. Now you won't have any more nightmares.

Binky: Hey Arthur! Wait up! Look! About the way I've been acting, I just wanted to say...

Arthur: Binky, Don't worry! It's okay.

Binky: No! It's not okay. I paid for your lunch and you gotta pay me back, and the racing car eraser I gave you, fork it over and I gave you my desert and wiped the mud of your shoes and put three in a half drops of glue on your collage...
