Editing Revenge of the Chip/Transcript

Television Host: Ha ha ha! So you bit the sandwich and then saw half a worm in the part you hadn't eaten! Right?

Kid: Uh huh.

Television Host: Ha ha! And then what did you do?

[[Buster Baxter]], [[Francine Frensky]], [[Arthur Read]]: SPIT IT OUT!

Buster: Go to the emergency room!

Francine: Ew! Get dewormed!

Kid: Ate the rest.

(''Laughter'')

Arthur, Buster, and Francine: Ugh! That's gross!

Television Host: (''laughs again'') Boys sure do the most embarrassing things, don't they? Let's watch a reenactment.

Arthur: (''to the audience watching [[Arthur (TV series)|his show]]'') It's weird how we all hate being embarrassed, but it doesn't bug us much if it happens to someone else. Sort of. 

Francine: If I were him, I'd wear a bag over my head for the rest of my life.

Arthur: How can you tell everybody he did that? On TV?

Buster: I wonder what kind of sandwich it was.

(''the kids see a close-up of the sandwich with a worm inside it on the screen'')

Francine: TURN IT OFF!

(''all talking at once'')

Buster: But there's still ten more embarrassing minutes to come.

(''Back to the story'')

Arthur: So [[You Do the Most Embarrassing Things]] is going to do a live show at [[Wonderworld]] next week, and we wrote in for tickets.

The ''Reads are sitting at the table. Mr. Read is serving sandwiches.''

'''Arthur: '''So, “You Do The Most Embarrassing Things” is gonna do a live show at Wonderworld next week, and we wrote in for tickets. 

'''D.W.: '''Oh boy, can I come? I've never seen TV before it's TV before. 

'''Arthur: '''Come on, D.W.! Every time I take you to something, you act like such a little kid!  ''He checks the inside of his sandwich.  '' And it's so embarrassing! 

'''D.W.: '''Uh-uh. Name just one time. 

'''Arthur: '''Hm.     ''Flashback: Arthur and D.W. are watching a science fiction movie. While everybody looks intently at the screen, D.W. eats and drinks noisily.      ''Shh! D.W., just watch the movie!     ''A tall moose is sitting in the seat in front of D.W.''

'''D.W.: '''Hm.   ''She climbs over the seats, almost knocking Arthur's glasses off.''

'''Arthur: '''Hey!    D.W.! No!

'''D.W.: '''Ah!    ''Arthur catches her as she falls. Her popcorn lands on Mr. Haney's head.''

'''Mr. Haney: '''Oh!

'''Arthur: '''Er... Sorry, sir.   ''The flashback ends.''

'''D.W.: '''That was last winter! I was only a little kid! Name something that happened not so long ago! 

'''Arthur: '''You thought you were gonna die from eating a green potato chip.

'''Mr.+Mrs. Read: '''(giggle)

'''D.W.: '''You promised you wouldn't talk about that any more!

'''Mr. Read: '''(surpressing a laugh:)  Arthur, don't tease DW. 

'''D.W.: '''I don't do embarrassing kid's stuff any more. If I prove that I'm more grown-up now, I can go, right? 

'''Arthur: '''Yeah, sure. But I know there is no way you can prove that. 

'''D.W.: '''Just watch me.

''Arthur enters the library. D.W. follows pulling a squeaky handcart. The noise makes everyone look.''

'''Arthur: '''Well, D.W., you're failing so far.
'''D.W.: '''That's what you think.   ''She looks at the books in a shelf. ''  Thin, kinda fat, very thin, medium...  '' She sees a huge volume.  '' Wow! That's definitely not for little kids! 

=== # ===
''Arthur and D.W. walk out the library. D.W. has the big book in her handcart.''

'''Arthur: '''Getting that book doesn't prove you're grown-up. You can't read it. 

'''D.W.: '''Mom and Dad can read it to me for a bedtime story. I'm interested in the subject. What is it again?

'''Arthur: '''(sighs) “Macro Economics.“

'''D.W.: '''I love that. What is it again?

''Arthur and Buster watch TV.''

'''TV announcer: '''„The Bionic Bunny Show!“
''Behind them on the floor lies a tin can phone. D.W. sits on her bed with the other can.''

'''D.W.: '''Hm. Suspicious. They're using the TV to drown our their voices.

'''Buster: '''(through the phone:)  Hello, D.W.

'''Arthur: '''Hh!   ''Very'' suspicious!

=== # ===
''Arthur and Buster play with action figures in the yard. D.W. watches them from under a mildly camouflaged green blanket.''

'''Arthur+Buster: '''(make airplane noises)   ''Buster suddenly looks through the hole in the blanket.''
'''Buster: '''Hello, D.W.

'''D.W.: '''Arg!   ''She falls backwards.''   Very ''very'' suspicious.

=== # ===
''Arthur and Buster are reading comics on Arthur's bed. D.W. watches them from the treehouse through Bionic Bunny binoculars.''

'''D.W.: '''Very very ''very'' suspicious. They're keeping their faces turnes away so I can't read their lips. Oh wait! Here comes!     ''The boys turn around.''
'''Buster: '''(moving lips slowly:)  Hel-lo Dee-dubbel-you.

'''D.W.: '''I need more sophisticateted equipment.

=== # ===
''D.W. in her pyjamas phones the operator.''

'''D.W.: '''I need the number of the nearest lie detector store.   ''Arthur calls from the kitchen. He's holding a newspaper.''
'''Arthur: '''Hey, D.W.! You're famous! Look, you're in Buster's mom's "Let A Smile Be Your Umbrella" column.

''D.W. takes the paper.''

'''D.W.: '''I can't read. What's it say?   ''Arthur snatches the paper back.''

'''Arthur: '''"A story that's put a smile on my face for the past few days involves a little girl who thought that green potato chips were fatal. Five-year-old Dora Winifred Read eagerly gobbled up a chip one afternoon, only to be informed by her practical joker brother Arthur that green chips were deadly.“

''D.W. sees herself as an adult giving a press conference in the Oval Office. Francine is one of the reporters.''

'''Francine: '''President D.W., in your past term, you ended poverty and war and outlawed older brothers who break their promises. 

'''Reporters:''' (Hooray!)

'''Francine: '''But, Mrs. President , I have one question.    ''She holds up a bag. ''  Would you like a potato chip? I checked for green ones!

'''Reporters:''' (laugh)   ''The fantasy ends.''

'''D.W.: '''You've got to help me stop this or I'll never live it down!

'''Arthur: '''D.W., I have things to do.   ''A thought bubble appears in which a crying D.W. runs rings around Arthur. '' (in bubble:) I won't help you!   ''Another bubble appears in which D.W. is quiet and smiling.''  (in bubble:)  Okay, I'll help you.   ''The bubbles disappear. ''  Okay, D.W., I'll help you.

=== # ===
''Arthur and D.W. return home.''

'''D.W.: '''It's hopeless! I can never show my face again. And you won't even admit you did it.   ''She puts on a football helmet.   ''It's just like the times you stole my “Crazy Bus”-CD and my snowball.
'''Arthur: '''You know Mom and Dad took that CD.

'''D.W.: '''So you finally admit you took my snowball!
