Selected Scenes

#

Mr. Frensky: Remember, if you win the game, I take you all out for ice cream! And if you lose...

Binky: You drive us to the outskirts of town and leave us there?

Mr. Frensky: Nope! I still take you out for ice cream.

Binky: Aw, man. I'm never gonna see the outskirts of town.

Mr. Read: You paid attention and that’s what’s important. Baseball is 99% concentration.

D.W.: Now if he could only catch the ball.

Mr. Read: D.W.!

Arthur: No, she’s right. That’s what everybody else says.

Mr. Read: Nonsense. I bet you dollars to doughnuts that right now coach Frensky is talking about what a terrific team he has.

At the Frensky home.

Mr. Frensky: You want me to take Arthur of the team?

Francine: Please, Daddy, you have to. I can’t even throw straight because I’m busy thinking what dumb thing he’s gonna do next

Mr. Frensky: That sounds serious. Hm, well, maybe I can help.

Francine: You’re gonna fire him?

Mr. Frensky: I’ve got a better idea. I’m gonna give you a promotion.

Francine: What, really? You mean, I get to be pitcher?

Mr. Frensky: Even better.

Francine: Thanks for stopping me before I teased Buster the way I teased you.

Arthur: Sure. Thanks for helping me with my game. See? Teamwork.

Francine: Yeah, but you know, basketball season is coming up, and if you stink at that I get to tease you all over again.
