| '''Arthur''': Ha! Woogles! Who would ever buy something so dumb?! Hey, Buster? Buster?
| |
|

|
| |
| ''Buster dribbles his Woogle as they walk home.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Buster, I can't believe you bought one of those things. They're so dorky!
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': Yeah, you're right, but I really like it anyway.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Why?
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': I don't know.
| |
|
| |
| ''He tickles the Woogle.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Woogle:''' (giggles)
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': (chuckles) His name's Bilbo.
| |
|
| |
| ''Arthur stares at him. Muffy comes running with another Woogle with a huge nose.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': You got Bilbo? That's one of the only Woogles I didn't get! Say hello to Snuffles.
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': Hi, Snuffles.
| |
|
| |
| ''Muffy squeezes her Woogle.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Snuffles''': Atchoo!
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster+Muffy''': (laugh)
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': This is a joke, right? I mean, you guys don't really think those things are cool. Do you?
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': Come on, Buster. He just doesn't get it.
| |
|
| |
| ''She pulls Buster away.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': Does your Woogle like to sit under lamps? Mine does. But I was worried about him melting...
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Huh??
| |
|
| |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
|

| |
|

| |
|
| |
| ''He jumps up after sitting on a Woogle.''
| |
|

| '''Fracnine''': (chuckles) Oh, Arthur. You should have seen your expression when you sat on Archie!
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Archie?! You bought one, too??
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': Sure. Why not? It was worth it for that gag alone.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Oh...
| |
|
| |
| ''Mr. Ratburn comes in. He puts his suitcase on the desk and takes out a Woogle.''

| ''During recess, Arthur notes that every kid seems to have at least one Woogle.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': Arthur, you look so...Woogle-less. I got two Archies. You can have one. Here.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': No. No, thanks. I don't need one those dumb things.
| |
|
| |
| ''Francine looks shocked.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': (gasps) If you don't wanna have fun, okay, it's a free free country, but don't take it out on my Woogle!
| |
|
| |
| ''She leaves.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': Did that mean boy hurt Archie's feelings?
| |
|
| |
| ''Arthur looks around at the other kids playing with Woogles. Brain sits at a table with a book.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Hey, Brain, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's not playing with a Woogle! Why are kids so into those things?
| |
|
| |
| '''Brain''': It's a fad, Arthur, a popular fashion that's briefly capturing the imagination of a community.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': What??
| |
|
| |
| '''Brain''': Maybe Tiny Einy can explain it better.
| |
|
| |
| ''He pulls out a Woogle with hair like Albert Einstein.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Tiny Einy''': Fun equals you times me squared!
| |

| '''Arthur''': (groans) Woogles... Why...?
| |
|
| |
| ''In his dream, the third-graders pose for a class photo.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Photographer''': Let's make this a great class picture! Big smiles! Wait a second! Where's your Woogle?
| |
|
| |
| ''Arthur questioningly points at himself.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Photographer''': Yeah, you - bow-tie!
| |
|
| |
| ''Arthur looks around and sees that everyone is suddenly holding Woogles.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': (gasps) Um... I... I don't have one.
| |
|
| |
| '''Photographer''': Oh, this is a disaster! Let me think, let me think... Aha!
| |
|
| |
| ''Shortly afterwards.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Are you sure I don't look doofy?
| |
|
| |
| '''Photograph''': No, kid, you look great. No one will notice the difference.
| |
|
| |
| ''Arthur is holding a stick of broccoli. The picture is taken.''
| |
|
| |
| ''An adult Arthur shows the class photo to his children.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Adult Arthur''': After that, everyone called me... Broccoli Head.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur's daughter''': Father, do you mean you don't have a Woogle to give me? Every other kid at my school has their parents' old Woogle!
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': No, I don't have one. Sorry.
| |
|
| |
| ''A violin plays.''
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur's baby''': (cries)
| |
|
| |
|
| ''The kids get suitcases and leave. The baby pulls the suitcase with his teeth.''
| | Stampede |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur's daughter''': It can't be true. Oh, the shame! I only hope there are some kind grown-ups out there with extra Woogles who will take us in.
| |
|
| |
|
| ''The daughter opens the door. Outside are Arthur’s adult classmates with their children.'' | | '''All''': Atchoo! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! |
|
| |
|
| '''All''': Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! No Woogle, Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head! Broccoli Head!
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur''': No!! No, no, no!
| |
|
| |
| ''The dream ends.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': No... (gasps) ... No... not Broccoli Head...

| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Sold out?! There was a huge box of them just yesterday!
| |
|
| |
| '''Clerk''': Yup, they went like hot cakes.
| |
|
| |
| ''Arthur walks along a street. There are signs in the shop windows saying “No Woogles”, “All gone” and “Don’t ask”.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': "No Woogles." "Sold out." "No more you-know-whats."
| |
|
| |
| ''Arthur enters the park where Muffy is having a tea party with a large collection of Woogles.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Muffy, there isn't a Woogle left in any store in town. You have a lot. Can I buy one? Please?
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': Sure. I have four Gogos. You can have one cheap. That'll be 27 dollars.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': You said I could have one cheap!
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': That is cheap, according to the official Woogles Collectors Price Guide.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': I only have five dollars!
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': Then you don't have a Woogle.
| |
|
| |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
|
| |
| ''Arthur walks home looking sad. He sees a street vendor with a partly obscured sign saying “-oogles”.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Hey! I'll take one! I'll take one!
| |
|
| |
| ''He buys one. The vendor moves some watches and reveals that the sign actually says “Poogles”. Buster walks by.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': Poogles?! Eeeew!
| |
|
| |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
|
| |
| ''Arthur returns to the park, where Francine has joined Muffy’s tea party.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Hi, guys. Mind if ''we'' join you?
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': What's that?!
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': It's my Woogle. His name is Charles.
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': Charles? I don't think so!
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Okay, I don't know his name. But it's a Woogle, so I can play, right?
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': Arthur, Woogles stretch like a snake.
| |
|
| |
| ''She stretches her Woogle. Arthur tries the same with his Poogle, but it does not work.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': And they shimmy and shake.
| |
|
| |
| ''She wobbles her Woogle. The Poogle just falls over.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': And they bounce like a ball.
| |
|
| |
| ''She bounces the Woogle. The Poogle just drops to the ground.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': And they say something cute when you give them a squeeze.
| |
|
| |
| ''She squeezes her Woogle.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Woogle''': I wuv you! (giggles)
| |
|
| |
| ''Arthur tries to squeeze the Poogle and nothing happens. Buster joins them.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': Hey, Arthur, you bought one of those Poogles??
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': Poogles?
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': Poogles?
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine+Muffy''': Eeeew!
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': I knew it was a Poogle all along! I meant to buy a Poogle!
| |
|
| |
| ''He leaves and passes a mother with three babies in a stroller. He gives the Poogle to them. The babies pass it along. The baby that ends up with it starts crying.''

| |
| ''Arthur sits on Grandma Thora’s couch. She brings him cookies and milk and coffee for herself.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Everyone has one but me. And, I don't know, I just feel really left out.
| |
|
| |
| '''Grandma Thora''': That's how fads work. Everyone just has to have it now. But soon no one will even care.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': But it's not soon now! It's now now! And everybody cares... a lot!
| |
|
| |
| '''Grandma Thora''': I wish I could help. I remember when your father... Wait a minute! I bet I still have it.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Have what?
| |
|
| |
| ''Thora takes a small box out of a closet.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Grandma Thora''': Rocky! Your father's pet rock! They were all the rage 20 years ago. Here, you can have it.
| |
|
| |
| ''Arthur looks at the box and shakes it.''
| |
|
| |
| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |

| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': (gasps) Binky! I can't let him see me with this! He'll laugh at me!
| |
|
| |
| ''He turns and sees Francine and Muffy coming from behind.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': (gasps)
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': Hey, Arthur, what's in the cage?
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': Has your Poogle been bad?
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': It's not a Poogle. It's a pet rock.
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': What's it do?
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Um... It rocks! Heh heh. Get it?
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine+Muffy''': Yeah.
| |
|
| |
| ''They look unconvinced.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': Poor Arthur. Not having a Woogle has messed him up bad.
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky''': Cool rock!
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': (groans)
| |
|

| <nowiki>***</nowiki>
| |
|
| |
| ''Buster walks to school holding his Woogle.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': And after school, you'll get to visit Muffy and all her Woogle pals. We can sit by the pool. Won't that be fun?
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Oh, hi, Buster!
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': I'm gonna talk to Arthur for a sec. Okay, Bilbo? Bilbo says hi.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': I was wondering. Do you think it's possible that Woogles aren't good for you?
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': What do you mean?
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Well, you spend all your time with it. We haven't played hockey in days. It's just Woogle, Woogle, Woogle, day and night, like you can't help yourself.
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': I can help myself. I don't need it. I could get rid of it at any time and not care.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Are you sure?
| |
|
| |
| ''Buster throws the Woogle into a trashcan and walks on. After a few steps, he stops. Both boys stare at the Woogle.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': (gasps)
| |
|
| |
| ''Both boys jump at the Woogle and pull at it, stretching it like rubber.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': Let go! It's mine!
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': (strains) You don't even want it anymore! You put it in the trash!
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': (strains) It doesn't count! You tricked me!
| |
|
| |
| ''The Woogle slips out of Arthur’s hand and coils around Buster’s head. Both boys fall backwards.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Waaah!
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': Oh! Poor Bilbo.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Can I just see it for two seconds? I've never even held one.
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': All right. Just two seconds.
| |
|
| |
| ''Buster holds the Woogle and looks delighted. Buster checks his watch.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': One-two-time's up!
| |
|
| |
| ''He snatches it back.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': What did you think?
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': It wasn't so great.
| |
|
| |
| ''He runs after Buster.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Can I have another two seconds?
| |
|
| |
| '''Buster''': No.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': How about one?

|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Can I sit with you? You're the only other kid left who doesn't have one of those dopey toys.
| |
|
| |
| '''Binky''': Yeah. And since they're so dorky you couldn't pay me to have one!
| |
|
| |
| '''Muffy''': Hey, Binky, I finally got another Chartreuse Woogle! Enjoy!
| |
|
| |
| ''She throws a Woogle to Binky, who squeezes it.''

| |
|
| |
| ''Every other kid in the park is playing with Woogles. Francine walks up to Arthur.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': Hey, Arthur, you're sitting here all by yourself. I still have an extra Archie. Take it and come play with us.
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': Gee, thanks.
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': But first you have to admit you were wrong to say they were dweeby and that you really always wanted one!
| |
|
| |
| '''Arthur''': What?!
| |
|
| |
| '''Francine''': Just say it! Say, "I’ve always loved Woogles" and it's yours.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur''': Okay, I’ve always loved... No, I can't say that. But... Okay, okay. No! I still think they're dweeby! I don't even know why I want one!
| |
|
| |
|
| ''He takes the cap off a juice bottle.''
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur''': I bet... I bet even this is more fun than a Woogle!
| |
|
| |
|
| ''He makes clicking noises with the cap.'' | | '''Arthur''': There was a lot. |
|
| |
|
| '''Francine''': Yeah, right, like anybody could think that old cap is more fun than a lovable Woogle.
| |
|
| |
|
| ''Suddenly, the other kids stop playing and look at Arthur.''
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur''': Hey, cool!
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Boy''': Wow, where'd you get that? I want one.

|
| |
|
| ''Some time later, Arthur sits on Grandma Thora’s couch and she gives him a present.''
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Grandma Thora''': Here, Arthur. This is for doing so well on your report card. | | '''Arthur''': I have a lot! |
|
| |
|
| ''Arthur unpacks a Woogle and puts it on the couch beside him..''
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Arthur''': Gee, Grandma, thanks, but you were right about these just being a fad. Now it's juice caps! They're really fun!
| |
|
| |
|
| ''He clicks with a cap. All over town kids are doing the same thing. In front of a store, Woogles are now on sale.''
