The introduction begins on an agora in classical Greece.

Diogenes: I am Diogenes of Sinope and I am looking for an honest man.  He stops Arthur.  Are you an honest man?

Arthur: Er, I don’t know. I think so.        D.W. comes running.

D.W.: No he isn’t. He took my snowball and he’s been lying about it for years.

Arthur: Delta Omega, once and for all, I did not take…

D.W.: Don’t listen to him. I know where you can find what you’re looking for. 

She whispers something in his ear which leads him on a long journey and eventually to the Tibbles.

The truthful Tibbles ring the Reads’ doorbell.

D.W.: Hi, Tommy and Timmy! Let me guess. You want to borrow my Mary Moo Cow tapes.

Tommy: No. We just came by to tell you that you're too bossy.

Timmy: Yeah, and you sing Crazy Bus way too much. It's annoying.

D.W. is looking murderous. Mrs. Read comes to the door.

Tommy: Hi, Mrs. Read! Your house smells like dog!

(at the Molina family's house)

Tommy: You have a funny name.

Timmy: You'll probably never get a pony. They cost too much money.

Vicita Molina: (crying)

(at the Ice Cream Shop)

Tommy: (to Alan Powers) Your head is too big.

(Back outside)

Timmy: You believe anything.

Buster: I do?

(Arthur comes out of The Sugar Bowl)

Tommy: Your nose is too small!

The Tibbles have talked Buster out of a bag of gummy eels.

Timmy: I like being nice and honest at the same time.

Tommy: Me too. Is that what grown-ups call flattery?

Timmy: I don’t know what it’s called, but it works like a charm.
