Water and the Brain/Transcript

#

Arthur: Yep, it’d be great if there were a million me’s. But wait, if there were a million me’s…     

A million D.W.s walk towards him.

D.W.s: Come play with us, Arthur. Come play with us, Arthur.

Arthur: … there’d be a million D.W.s.

#

Brain: Sorry, Muffy, but I can’t go.

Muffy: Can’t go? Why?

Brain: Because amusement parks are puerile diversions only befitting unfledged tots.

Muffy+Binky+Arthur: Huh?

Brain: Water World is for little kids.

Binky: He’s wrong, you know. You gotta be this tall to ride.

#

D.W. hides under Arthur’s bed, because she doesn’t want to take a bath. Arthur points to his Dad where she is.

D.W.: Thanks, eggs Benedict Arnold.

#

Binky: (sobs) I can’t believe I was so insensitive. All this time you were just afraid of swimming. (sniffs) What a dumb thing to be afraid of!

Brain: Yes, my hydrophobia has prevented me from engaging in a multitude of pure related activities.

Binky: In English please.

Brain: It really stinks, Binky.

Binky: Brain, we’re going to cure you.

Arthur: We are?

Binky: Yep, come on, I know just the thing for it.

Francine, Muffy, Binky and Arthur ride the waterslide.

Francine: Whoa, that was fun. It’s too bad the Brain couldn’t come with us.

Binky: Just because the Brain doesn’t like to swim doesn’t mean he’s not our friend, Francine.

Francine: Oh yeah, well I wasn’t the one who tried to make him like swimming, Binky.

Arthur: You’re both right. And anyway, it would be boring if everybody was exactly the same. You guys wouldn’t have anything to fight about.

Muffy: Well, I’m just glad, Brain’s not a snob. I don’t like snobby people. By the way, Arthur, who picked out your bathing suit? It’s so tacky.

Arthur+Binky+Francine: (sigh)

Binky: I’m really glad the Brain’s just the way he is, because if he wasn’t, the towels would be as wet as we are.

Brain is in a deck chair guarding the towels.
