28. Practice, practice, practice!Copy !req
29. But have fun.Copy !req
30. Don't forget, music is art.Copy !req
31. It's like
ear-painting!Copy !req
32. If I get paint in my ears,
mom gets mad.Copy !req
33. I speak from experience.Copy !req
34. I didn't mean...Copy !req
35. Uh, it's like
ear-paintings
with no paint.Copy !req
36. Think of it as music.Copy !req
37. Oh, right.Copy !req
38. Good one.Copy !req
39. Want to go skating?Copy !req
40. I need to practiceCopy !req
41. and make sure
my spit valve is clean.Copy !req
42. Remember last time?Copy !req
43. Sorry, sir.Copy !req
44. Shouldn't you
practice, too?Copy !req
45. You have a solo.Copy !req
46. I know my part inside-down
and upside-out.Copy !req
47. I wish I did.Copy !req
48. Then I wouldn't have
to lug this home.Copy !req
49. Francine,
want to skate?Copy !req
50. No, I have to tape up
my drumsticksCopy !req
51. so they can't
break this time.Copy !req
52. Sorry, sir.Copy !req
53. I want it right.Copy !req
54. Everyone will
be watching.Copy !req
55. Binky!Copy !req
56. Don't ask.Copy !req
57. I have to do
tongue exercises.Copy !req
58. Last time,
I got tongue-tied.Copy !req
59. Wasn't there
something else?Copy !req
60. Whoa!Copy !req
61. Sorry, sir.Copy !req
62. You better
practice, Arthur.Copy !req
63. But I know it!Copy !req
64. Can you do that
somewhere else?Copy !req
65. I'm trying
to read.Copy !req
66. I can't stop!Copy !req
67. What if I
never stop?Copy !req
68. My head might get
loose and pop off!Copy !req
69. Have you had them long?Copy !req
70. I don't know.Copy !req
71. I can't tell time!Copy !req
72. Getting scared
can cure hiccups.Copy !req
73. But nothing scares meCopy !req
74. Oh, Mom accidentally threw away
your "Crazy Bus" CD.Copy !req
75. But that's my favorite!Copy !req
76. How could she?Copy !req
77. Hey, they stopped.Copy !req
78. You're welcome!Copy !req
79. Have a good sleep
so you're readyCopy !req
80. for your recital tomorrow.Copy !req
81. No sweat.Copy !req
82. I know it all.Copy !req
83. Hey, you stink!Copy !req
84. Extra, extra!Copy !req
85. Local boy plays wrong note!Copy !req
86. D.W.?Copy !req
87. Arthur?Copy !req
88. No one's seen you since they
kicked you out of schoolCopy !req
89. For wrecking
the recital last year.Copy !req
90. I've looked for a job
but I can't get oneCopy !req
91. because everyone knows
I played the wrong note.Copy !req
92. Are those the same hiccups?Copy !req
93. I'll help get
rid of them.Copy !req
94. Get rid of them?Copy !req
95. No way!Copy !req
96. These hiccups
made me a star!Copy !req
97. This is the premiereCopy !req
98. of my newest
movie.Copy !req
99. The Hiccup Kid?Copy !req
100. I'm a gaz...
illionaire!Copy !req
101. I have to go inside now.Copy !req
102. Call me sometime.Copy !req
103. But I don't have a phone!Copy !req
104. Gee, thanks, mister.Copy !req
105. I know you.Copy !req
106. You're that kid
who played D-flatCopy !req
107. instead of D-sharp!Copy !req
108. It was just a dream.Copy !req
109. That could never happen...Copy !req
110. As long as I don't make
a mistake today.Copy !req
111. That song has too many notes.Copy !req
112. Our next performer, Arthur Read.Copy !req
113. You're that kid
who played D-flat!Copy !req
114. Hey, you stink!Copy !req
115. Is anything wrong?Copy !req
116. I feel sick.Copy !req
117. I don't think
I should play.Copy !req
118. No problem, dear.Copy !req
119. Sue Ellen,
you're on.Copy !req
120. One, two, three, four.Copy !req
121. One, two,
three, four.Copy !req
122. I bet now you wish
you'd practiced.Copy !req
123. I didn't need to.Copy !req
124. You should before
next week's recitalCopy !req
125. for the parents.Copy !req
126. That's right.Copy !req
127. I have to do it again.Copy !req
128. Binky, you're next.Copy !req
129. Me and my tongue are ready!Copy !req
130. This isn't working!Copy !req
131. If they don't stopCopy !req
132. your head's going
to pop off for sure.Copy !req
133. I'll catch it, D.W.Copy !req
134. Arthur, they
came back.Copy !req
135. Hold your breathCopy !req
136. and count
backwards
from 100.Copy !req
137. 100... 99...Copy !req
138. What comes before 99?Copy !req
139. Hmm, one, two,
five, nine...Copy !req
140. You don't need practice.Copy !req
141. That's what I've been saying.Copy !req
142. Why didn't you
play that way
at school?Copy !req
143. Because what
if I made a mistake?Copy !req
144. You don't
need practice.Copy !req
145. You need
confidence.Copy !req
146. You need to walk up
to that pianoCopy !req
147. and say, "I'm going to play youCopy !req
148. and you're going
to sound great!"Copy !req
149. Show it who's boss.Copy !req
150. One wrong noteCopy !req
151. and you're toothpicks!Copy !req
152. And you've got to look like
a musician, like this.Copy !req
153. Ow, that hurts my face.Copy !req
154. Maybe you need
a casual attitude.Copy !req
155. Start with a joke.Copy !req
156. A joke to play
on the piano?Copy !req
157. What about this?Copy !req
158. That was great!Copy !req
159. What key did you hit?Copy !req
160. I didn't...Copy !req
161. If only you could
practice playingCopy !req
162. for an audience.Copy !req
163. That's it!Copy !req
164. A spoonful
of peanut butterCopy !req
165. chewed slowly
always cures
the hiccups.Copy !req
166. It worked!Copy !req
167. Grandma, you're
so smart!Copy !req
168. Now my head
won't pop off!Copy !req
169. Arthur, you played it
beautifully.Copy !req
170. That's only because
it was for you.Copy !req
171. You want to hear me play.Copy !req
172. Do you remember when
I took you to the circus?Copy !req
173. You were so excited
before anything even happened.Copy !req
174. Yeah!Copy !req
175. Everyone was.Copy !req
176. They all came
to enjoy the show.Copy !req
177. The people who come
to hear youCopy !req
178. are just as excited.Copy !req
179. They're not against you.Copy !req
180. Really?Copy !req
181. Yes... and if you get nervousCopy !req
182. just remember I'm out there
and I love hearing you play.Copy !req
183. I hope you practiced
this time.Copy !req
184. You feeling
better today?Copy !req
185. So far...Copy !req
186. That's it.Copy !req
187. Next time,
I play "Jingle Bells."Copy !req
188. Show that piano
who's boss.Copy !req
189. "One bad note
and you're toothpicks!"Copy !req
190. Do it, do it.Copy !req
191. Uh-oh, he's not moving.Copy !req
192. Sue Ellen, better
get ready to go on.Copy !req
193. Francine, give
him a chance.Copy !req
194. I'm almost all done.Copy !req
195. I'm going make it...Copy !req
196. I wrecked it! I wrecked it!Copy !req
197. I'm a human recital wrecker!Copy !req
198. Bow— take a bow.Copy !req
199. That was great!Copy !req
200. But I wrecked the end!Copy !req
201. What are you
talking about?Copy !req
202. You're being nice.Copy !req
203. Didn't you hear that mistake?Copy !req
204. I didn't hear a mistake.Copy !req
205. Hey, that D-flat
you played at the end.Copy !req
206. I knew it was obvious.Copy !req
207. I wreck...Copy !req
208. Very much how
Thelonious Monk
would have done it.Copy !req
209. You have some mean
jazz chops, my man.Copy !req
210. And nobody
even noticed
my big mistake.Copy !req
211. It was only big to you.Copy !req
212. The audience
doesn't hear mistakes.Copy !req
213. They just hear music.Copy !req
214. I wanted to see Arthur mess up.Copy !req
215. I guess Grandma
will have to waitCopy !req
216. to see you mess up
your preschool play!Copy !req
217. Oh, no.Copy !req
218. Keep back!
I know what to do!Copy !req
219. Stand on your headCopy !req
220. and count backwards
from a kazillionCopy !req
221. then look in the mirror
and scare yourself...Copy !req
222. And now...Copy !req
223. Da-da-da!Copy !req
224. Da-da-da!Copy !req
225. Da-da-da!Copy !req
226. What is music?Copy !req
227. The sound.Copy !req
228. No, it's more than sound.Copy !req
229. The rhythm.Copy !req
230. It has a rhythm
and it's... it's a nice sound.Copy !req
231. I can make music!Copy !req
232. You can do it if you practice.Copy !req
233. I play the trumpet
because it's more powerful.Copy !req
234. I picked the trombone
because it's bigCopy !req
235. and it has a good voice to it.Copy !req
236. I play the drums because...Copy !req
237. Since I was a little kidCopy !req
238. I, from the first time
I saw those sticksCopy !req
239. banging on those big plates,
it was just an influence to me.Copy !req
240. It doesn't matter
if you're scared.Copy !req
241. You can go on the stage
and play for peopleCopy !req
242. and after you finish playing,
you feel goodCopy !req
243. and then people clap.Copy !req
244. And now...Copy !req
245. Brain and Francine
are great friendsCopy !req
246. but don't talk sports
with them.Copy !req
247. Hockey players are best.Copy !req
248. They skate
while they play.Copy !req
249. But could a hockey
player play golf?Copy !req
250. While driving a car
207 miles an hour?Copy !req
251. This is not an easy putt.Copy !req
252. He needs to concentrate.Copy !req
253. Aaagh!Copy !req
254. He's in the lake.Copy !req
255. That's a one-stroke penalty.Copy !req
256. Want to hear
their best argument?Copy !req
257. Who's the best
athlete in school?Copy !req
258. Easy, it's me.Copy !req
259. Just for accuracy, it is I.Copy !req
260. It's me!Copy !req
261. It is I!Copy !req
262. Me!Copy !req
263. I!Copy !req
264. This couldCopy !req
265. go on a while.Copy !req
266. Come on, Francine!Copy !req
267. Come on, Francine!Copy !req
268. We haven't lost yet!Copy !req
269. Next, the
championship!Copy !req
270. Indubitably!Copy !req
271. Nobody can beat the team
with Francine and the Brain!Copy !req
272. Let me get a picture
for school!Copy !req
273. We need one more winCopy !req
274. and we're
in the play-offs!Copy !req
275. Let's get out
and practice!Copy !req
276. Arthur! I'm open!Copy !req
277. Out of bounds!Copy !req
278. Out of bounds!Copy !req
279. No! Look at my foot!Copy !req
280. Your foot
was on the line!Copy !req
281. No way,
you're cheating.Copy !req
282. I don't
need to cheat.Copy !req
283. You're cheating.Copy !req
284. 347,825...Copy !req
285. 347,826...Copy !req
286. I wish I'd brought a book.Copy !req
287. I didn't!Copy !req
288. You did!Copy !req
289. Did not!Copy !req
290. Let's finish the game, guys.Copy !req
291. Yeah, my skull's getting sore.Copy !req
292. Why don't you
just ask somebody?Copy !req
293. Okay, you saw
what happened, Arthur.Copy !req
294. Make the call.Copy !req
295. At first
it looked like...Copy !req
296. Come on,
he wears glasses.Copy !req
297. You can't trust what he sees!Copy !req
298. Hey, Arthur is
honest and trustworthy.Copy !req
299. There's no better
kid in school.Copy !req
300. So tell her she
was out of bounds.Copy !req
301. Whatever you
say goesCopy !req
302. even if it's because
boys stick together.Copy !req
303. But then it looked...Copy !req
304. Oh, sticking up
for your friend.Copy !req
305. Let him speak, Brain!Copy !req
306. Go ahead, Arthur.Copy !req
307. Binky!Copy !req
308. Aw, I've got to go
home for dinner.Copy !req
309. Well, there
goes the ball.Copy !req
310. Game's over.Copy !req
311. So, I guess
it doesn't matter
who's right anymore...Copy !req
312. I better go home, too.Copy !req
313. And I couldn't tell
if she was in or out.Copy !req
314. But they'll forget
all about it.Copy !req
315. I need you
to help me write
a letter to Santa.Copy !req
316. In May?Copy !req
317. He gets too many
letters in December.Copy !req
318. I want to beat the rush.Copy !req
319. D.W., would you...Copy !req
320. Shh! I'm thinking.Copy !req
321. Hmm... Okay, ready!Copy !req
322. Dear Santa,
is it tough beingCopy !req
323. the world's
most handsome man?Copy !req
324. It's nice to start
with something positive.Copy !req
325. It's just that you hear
nice things so often.Copy !req
326. Oh, well, thank you.Copy !req
327. Santa, there were just
a few little problemsCopy !req
328. with last year's presents...Copy !req
329. Francine and the
Brain are still mad.Copy !req
330. Really?Copy !req
331. Muffy, would you
hand me my pencil?Copy !req
332. Why don't you ask the Brain?Copy !req
333. I wouldn't touch it.Copy !req
334. I might catch
whatever it isCopy !req
335. that makes her so...
so Francine-y.Copy !req
336. Hmm!Copy !req
337. Hmm!Copy !req
338. This is a speed test.Copy !req
339. Pass the questions around.Copy !req
340. And... begin.Copy !req
341. Here you go,
Francine.Copy !req
342. She only gave me one.Copy !req
343. Ask your friend,
the Brain.Copy !req
344. Brain... psst!Copy !req
345. No talkingCopy !req
346. during the test!Copy !req
347. Hey, I didn't get a...Copy !req
348. Time's... up.Copy !req
349. test.Copy !req
350. Francine and Brain
better make up soonCopy !req
351. or I'll never pass math.Copy !req
352. Let go!
I got it first!Copy !req
353. But I dibsed it!Copy !req
354. You think
you're so smartCopy !req
355. but you don't even
know how dibs work!Copy !req
356. Ohh...Copy !req
357. I hope Francine
and BrainCopy !req
358. aren't too mad
to play together.Copy !req
359. They wouldn't let this
hurt our chance to win.Copy !req
360. I'm open!Copy !req
361. Arthur!Copy !req
362. Why didn't you
pass it to me?Copy !req
363. Is that the
wind blowing?Copy !req
364. I don't hear
or see anyone.Copy !req
365. I think I sprained
my tailbone.Copy !req
366. If Francine
and Brain stay madCopy !req
367. we'll never win again.Copy !req
368. And the play-offs!Copy !req
369. We have to remind them
they're friends.Copy !req
370. Maybe if they played
something that
was just fun.Copy !req
371. Ping-pong is fun!Copy !req
372. Serve, Arthur.Copy !req
373. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
374. Well, they're
playing together.Copy !req
375. Take that!Copy !req
376. Back over
to you!Copy !req
377. Whose point?Copy !req
378. I don't know.Copy !req
379. The ball appears
to have vaporized.Copy !req
380. I think
they're having fun.Copy !req
381. He can't be,
he's on a stick!Copy !req
382. Do you have
any sixes?Copy !req
383. Go fish yourself!Copy !req
384. Any other ideas?Copy !req
385. I'm pretty sure
they'll work it out.Copy !req
386. But the play-offs
are next week!Copy !req
387. D.W.:
Arthur!Copy !req
388. I need a new
letter for Santa.Copy !req
389. This time I want
to include prices.Copy !req
390. Can you help me
with foreign currency?Copy !req
391. and use the savings
to get me more presents.Copy !req
392. If we don't
win a game soonCopy !req
393. Out of the play-offs?Copy !req
394. I think that
convinced them.Copy !req
395. Help!Copy !req
396. Come on, Francine!Copy !req
397. I'm getting
killed out there.Copy !req
398. I can't play
another game.Copy !req
399. We only have
one game left... ow!Copy !req
400. And we have to win.Copy !req
401. We're doomed.Copy !req
402. We need to work
on my Santa letter!Copy !req
403. D.W., why don't you
just call Santa?Copy !req
404. A letter is better
because I can get
my thoughts organizedCopy !req
405. That's it!Copy !req
406. The little girl whose heart may
be broken at Christmas— Hey!Copy !req
407. You don't want
to break up the
friendship.Copy !req
408. when you two
play together?Copy !req
409. I've got Brain's.Copy !req
410. "Everyone knows you
are very, very smart..."Copy !req
411. "But Adam-ant-ly refuse to
apologize because you're wrong."Copy !req
412. Oh...Copy !req
413. Not if we rewrite them.Copy !req
414. and you
write Brain's.Copy !req
415. he spelled "soccer"
with two Ks and a Q.Copy !req
416. What?Copy !req
417. "I want blue
footie pajamasCopy !req
418. No way!Copy !req
419. That's my sister's
Christmas list.Copy !req
420. Francine's letter is
on the back... somehow.Copy !req
421. Your letter was right:
even if we disagreeCopy !req
422. we can still be friends.Copy !req
423. Yeah— what?Copy !req
424. Arthur!Copy !req
425. we know you
wrote these.Copy !req
426. after the play-offs.Copy !req
427. We're mad at you,
not each other.Copy !req
428. What a buttinsky.Copy !req
429. You spelled "soccer"
with two Ks and a Q?Copy !req
