My Music Rules/Transcript
The Library[edit]
Ms. Turner: That's it for the activities this week, everyone. Now I know you've all been looking forward to hearing Piccolo Pete the Musical Clown next week, but sadly, Pete's run away from the circus to join a family. So we're searching for a musician. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.
D.W. Read: Oh, I know! I know!
Arthur Read: How is it that you know you're not going like something even before it happens?
Grandma's House[edit]
Arthur: (V.O.) Like when you hear Grandma Thora say—
Grandma: It's a brand-new recipe, and you kids are the first to try it. I call it Thora's Mean Bean Pie.
Basement[edit]
Arthur: (V.O.) You don't even have to be a person to know when something's bad news.
Pal: (whimpering)
Arthur: Here, Pal! Here, boy!
Buster Baxter: Come on! Let's go for a ride! Do you think he knows he going to get shots?
Arthur: Nah! He's smart, but he can't be that smart.
Library 2[edit]
Arthur: And when D.W. gets an idea, well—
Ms. Turner: Yes, D.W.? You have a suggestion for a musician?
D.W.: How about the guy who wrote Crazy Bus?
Arthur: Argh!
Title Card[edit]
Buster: (V.O.) My Music Rules!
Arthur: Hey!

Mrs. Read has brought D.W. to Grandma Thora’s house.
Grandma Thora: Of course I can watch D.W.. It’s no problem at all.
Mrs. Read: Thanks, Thora. You’re a lifesaver. I’ll pick her up at about five.
Grandma Thora: Five o’clock? Oh my, there is one problem. I’m supposed to meet Sara downtown at four. But maybe you’d like to come along to a concert, D.W.
D.W.: Er, do I have any real choice in this?
Jane: None whatsoever.
D.W.: (feigned enthusiasm:) Oh boy, a concert.

Arthur and Francine are playing checkers at the Frenskys’ apartment.
Arthur: We must know somebody who’s a musician who can come to the library next week.
Francine: We better find somebody before D.W. finds the guy who wrote Crazy Bus. Mr. Frensky stands in the door.
Mr. Frensky: Did I hear you say you need a musician?
Francine: Sorry, Dad, they don’t want somebody to play their nose.
Mr. Frensky: I didn’t mean me. I meant your uncle Josh.
Francine: Uncle Josh! Of course, why didn't I think of that? That's a great idea Dad, only... who's uncle Josh?
Mr. Frensky: Well, at least I think he’s your uncle.
Arthur: You play your nose??

D.W. has invited cellist Yo Yo Ma to give a concert at the library.
D.W.: Well, it’s too late. Yo Mama says he’s coming.
