Plot summary
Arthur is being driven nuts by nuts by D.W., who is continuously playing the tape of her favorite song, "Crazy Bus." When he asks if she could listen to something else, she says that it's her favorite and helps her do her work, explaining that she's making a shoebox diorama to give to Mom and Dad for their anniversary. She says that she'll stop playing the song just as soon as she's finished. Arthur notes the mess in the area and that it's not likely she'll be finished for a while, then says that he'll help her, as he'd do anything to stop her playing the song.
They begin and D.W. tries to give Arthur instructions on what she'd like for the project, but Arthur just scribbles to color the box, hoping to get things done as quickly as possible. D.W. says that it is not right and adds some spots, then says that she's going to add beads to it. She tries to carefully add beads, each facing the same way, but Arthur just glues on a big glob. D.W. thinks it looks terrible, but Arthur leaves to watch The Bionic Bunny Show, saying that he'll continue helping her tomorrow.
The next day, however, Arthur has another excuse, saying that he has to meet Buster at the Sugar Bowl. The day after that, D.W. finds him dressed in his soccer uniform, claiming he has a big game. Two nights later, Arthur again hears the "Crazy Bus" song coming from D.W.'s room and her sniffling.
