Sick as a Dog/Transcript

In Arthur's room

Arthur: Good boy! Now, what does a worm do?

(Pal rolls around on the floor)

Arthur: (to the audience) Pal hasn't been my dog for long, but he's learned a lot from me already. He learned that he shouldn't slip out of his collar during a walk.

(Pal runs off)

Arthur: No, Pal! Heel, heel! Stop! Sit! Stay! Wait! (gasps)

Guard dog: (barking and growling)

Arthur: I TOLD YOU TO HEEL!!!!! (voice-over) And he learned that Dad's garden hose isn't a chew toy.

In the backyard

Arthur: No, Pal, no! Look at all the teeth holes. Don't worry. I've fixed it so Dad will never notice anything's wrong.

(His dad turns on the water, which comes out of the little holes and sprays him in the face)

Dad: (yells) Arthur!

Arthur: Wanna go for a walk, boy?

• Arthur: I wasn't.
• D.W.: Want to hear a good joke? Knock-Knock. Hey. The dog stole my wiener. The dog stole my wiener.
• Dad: Arthur. Tell Pal to let go.
• Arthur: Pal. Let go.
• D.W.: It's mine. It's mine.
• Arthur: Pal, Sit. Heel. Stay. Lie down. Roll over.
