D.W. Gets Lost/Transcript

#

Arthur ate the last piece of cake.

Mrs. Read: Why didn't you just have an apple?

Arthur: I was too weak from hunger to chew it. I needed something soft.

#

D.W.: Why can’t I have earrings?

Mrs. Read: You’re not old enough. And they’ll turn your ears green.

D.W.: I don’t care if I have green ears.

Mr. Read is making green salad. He holds two lettuce leaves in front of D.W.’s ears.

Mr. Read: They just aren’t you, D.W.

D.W. and Nadine pass a statue of a pig eating a piece of cake.

Nadine: We passed this three times.

D.W.: No, I would have remembered that. It looks like Arthur. Uh-oh.

#

D.W. meets Emily, who is returning her earrings. Her ears are green.

Nadine: You should ask her where your mommy is.

D.W.: I’m not a baby, Nadine.

Nadine: Maybe sometimes grown-ups ask for help too.

Ed Crosswire: Well, my five minutes are up. I'll call ya later.

Mom: Thanks for waiting so quietly for five whole minutes!

D.W. Read: That was only five minutes?

Mom: Ready to look at the earrings?

D.W.: I thought it over. I don't really need earrings.

Mom: I'm impressed! That's a very grownup attitude.

D.W.: Thanks. Can we do lunch instead?
