Selected Scenes

#

Francine: Your turn, Muffy. Truth or Dare?

Muffy: Truth.

Fern: Excuse me. Have you ever told a lie?

Muffy: What kind of question is that? Me, tell a lie? Not once in my life. Not once in the history of my life. Not once in the history of my family's life. If you ever knew how Crosswires feel about lying. If you knew how they suffer from principles.

Francine: Muffy!

Muffy: What?

Francine: Aren't you forgetting about when you first came to our school back in second grade?

#

Binky: (Voice) Arthur and the True Francine Mr. Marco: I'm glad to see you haven't forgotten Friday's math test. But I will interrupt you for one moment. I'd like you to meet our newest student. This is Muffy Crosswire. These are your future friends and classmates.

#

Buster: You’re not at your old school, smartypants. You’re at plain old Lakewood Elementary.

Muffy: Miss Mary Alice Smartypants to you.

Francine: Ahh! You’re middle name is Alice? That’s my middle name.

Muffy: No. How do you spell it?

Francine: A-L-I-C-E.

Muffy: Me too.

#

Fern: Francine cheating? It doesn’t seem possible.

Buster: Are you kidding? She copies off me all the time.

Fern: Then how come she gets better grades than you?

Buster: That’s what I’d like to know.

#

Muffy: I didn’t mean to get you in trouble. But I can’t let people think that I’m some kind of cheater. I’m a Crosswire.

Francine: So I’m supposed to take the blame? Is that why you pretended to like me?

#

Muffy: You’re up, Francine. They really need you out there.

Francine: You know I’m not allowed to play.

Muffy: You are now. I just told Mr. Marco the truth about who cheated.

Francine: You did?

Muffy: Yeah, and I’m being punished for two whole weeks. Which is totally unfair.
