Binky Barnes: (V.O.) The Short, Quick Summer.
(We now return to the story)
Arthur Read: (yawns) It's another perfect summer day, Pal. What should we do? We could go to the park, or go swimming, or play—
Jane Read: How about shopping for back-to-school clothes?
Arthur: Yuck! Why would I want to do that?
Mom: Because you start school next week!
Arthur: (gasps) It's the last week of summer already?! It can't be! It is impossible! It feels like summer just started and it's already over!
(In the living room)
D.W. Read: Are we playing cave?
Arthur: We're not playing anything. I'm looking for my list.
D.W.: What list?
Arthur: The list I made when summer started of all the things I wanted to do! And I don't think I did any of them yet!
D.W.: Was losing the list on the list? You did that.
(In Arthur's room)
Arthur: I only have one week left to do all the things on my list!
D.W.: (screaming) A ghost! A hairy ghost! Aw, it's just your dopey dog.
(Outside)
D.W.: (playing in the sprinkler and laughing)
Kate Read: (giggles)
Mom: Where's Arthur? He's missing all the fun.
Arthur: (searches for his list in a trash can) If I were a list, where would I be? (grunting and yelling)
Dad: Arthur, you could get hurt playing like that.
Arthur: Who's playing? I'm not having any fun at all!
(In the treehouse)
Buster Baxter: Come on, Arthur, let's play Kangaroo Court. Sue the kangaroo ???? in a kwazy courtroom! And it's just fun, not educational. Can't beat that.
Arthur: I've gotta find it! Summer's almost over and I hadn't done anything!
Buster: Sure ya did. What about the carousel?
(Flashback)
Buster: What are you doing, Gunky?
Gunky: This old carousel's done it's last go-round, boys. I'm outta business!
Buster: Why? Everybody loves the carousel!
Gunky: Mr. Crosswire has bought it and I hear he's a-rippin' it down.
