1. Hey!Copy !req
2. Hey!Copy !req
3. Hey!Copy !req
4. Hey!Copy !req
5. Hey, D.W.Copy !req
6. Hey!Copy !req
7. Whoa!Copy !req
8. Hi! I'm working on ideas
for a few changes to my room.Copy !req
9. Allow me to show you around.Copy !req
10. Here's the arcade.Copy !req
11. The wobbly room.Copy !req
12. Good for bouncing.Copy !req
13. And here's one
of my favorites—Copy !req
14. the roller coaster room.Copy !req
15. But the best part of all is...Copy !req
16. it cleans itself.Copy !req
17. Arthur? How's that
room of yours coming?Copy !req
18. I'm working on it, Mom!Copy !req
19. Hey!Copy !req
20. Oops!Copy !req
21. One more day untilCopy !req
22. the Happy-Crazy-Wow
Day at the park!Copy !req
23. They'll teach you
how to juggle.Copy !req
24. Let's go see if they've
started setting up.Copy !req
25. Then we could
play soccer.Copy !req
26. Go get your
soccer ball.Copy !req
27. Sure!Copy !req
28. Going to the park!Copy !req
29. What about your room, Arthur?Copy !req
30. It's clean!Copy !req
31. Kind of.Copy !req
32. Soccer ball... soccer ball.Copy !req
33. Pal! I was wondering
where you were!Copy !req
34. Aha! Okay,
I'll be back later, boy.Copy !req
35. Try to stay out of stuff.Copy !req
36. I'll clean it tonight,
I promise.Copy !req
37. Mom! Everybody's
waiting for me!Copy !req
38. Well...Copy !req
39. be home for dinner.Copy !req
40. Then you're cleaning
your room—Copy !req
41. No ifs,
ands or buts.Copy !req
42. No problem!Copy !req
43. Bring the intruder before me.Copy !req
44. Ah, Dr. Brand—Copy !req
45. nice of you to drop in.Copy !req
46. I'm sorry if the accommodations
are less than commodious.Copy !req
47. Arthur!Copy !req
48. You must let me know...Copy !req
49. Okay, Arthur,
enough dawdling.Copy !req
50. Time to pick up
your room, remember?Copy !req
51. But Mom, Alien Zoo Squad
has just started!Copy !req
52. I'm sorry, but you said
you'd clean your roomCopy !req
53. if I let you go
to the park— so go!Copy !req
54. I will ask you to
show me more respect!Copy !req
55. DR.
Go chase your tail.Copy !req
56. I've got it!Copy !req
57. Now what?Copy !req
58. You can't stop talking.Copy !req
59. What's happening?Copy !req
60. Oh, no, it was behind
the scratching post.Copy !req
61. What was? What is it?Copy !req
62. What scratching post?Copy !req
63. There are two of them!Copy !req
64. Two of what? Two of what?Copy !req
65. Oh, cool!Copy !req
66. I see it, I see it!Copy !req
67. Now, just put the phone
by the TV.Copy !req
68. DR.
I won't fight you, Max.Copy !req
69. I have something you'll like.Copy !req
70. I might be as smart
as the Brain.Copy !req
71. Back to the petting zoo
with you, kitty cat.Copy !req
72. Arthur?Copy !req
73. Ah! I'm drowning.Copy !req
74. Help me.Copy !req
75. Toys stay out
of the cereal, please.Copy !req
76. I'm going to
Happy-Crazy-Wow
Day with Buster.Copy !req
77. You're not going anywhere
until you clean your room!Copy !req
78. But I just told Buster
I'd meet him.Copy !req
79. Then tell him
you'll meet him later.Copy !req
80. You've put this off
long enough.Copy !req
81. D.W., as soon as
you're finished eatingCopy !req
82. work on your room, too.Copy !req
83. It's messy, too.Copy !req
84. But Mom,
that'll take forever!Copy !req
85. I'll miss
Happy-Crazy-Wow Day!Copy !req
86. I have an idea.Copy !req
87. When I was little and
my brother and I had choresCopy !req
88. we had a saying:
"many hands make
light work."Copy !req
89. Honey, I'm not sure...Copy !req
90. Hear me out on this.Copy !req
91. In other words,
the more hands you hadCopy !req
92. the easier
the work became.Copy !req
93. It does sound kind of cool.Copy !req
94. It'll go more than twice
as fast— trust me.Copy !req
95. So you two can start
on Arthur's room first.Copy !req
96. Wait a minute!Copy !req
97. I don't think...Copy !req
98. Everyone
calm down.Copy !req
99. Calm down.Copy !req
100. Do me a favor
and just try it.Copy !req
101. You'll be surprised
at how well it works.Copy !req
102. Let's do this quick.Copy !req
103. I'm going to be late.Copy !req
104. Ew!Copy !req
105. Those are my postcards
from Buster when he was away.Copy !req
106. Don't throw those out.Copy !req
107. But he's back now.Copy !req
108. D.W.!Copy !req
109. It's not like he's
famous or anything.Copy !req
110. Hey, don't throw
that away!Copy !req
111. It's an empty bag
of cookies, Arthur.Copy !req
112. Who keeps empty
cookie bags?Copy !req
113. It's Muffy's cookies.Copy !req
114. It has my picture on it.Copy !req
115. Who would buy something
with your picture?Copy !req
116. Hey! Where did you get
my light bulb costume?Copy !req
117. And my moon boots!Copy !req
118. Over there.Copy !req
119. D.W., you're supposed
to be putting stuff awayCopy !req
120. not taking it out.Copy !req
121. Can I at least throwCopy !req
122. this dirty
Popsicle stick out?Copy !req
123. No, it's part of
my collection.Copy !req
124. You don't have
a Popsicle stick collection.Copy !req
125. Not yet, but what if
I decide to start one?Copy !req
126. D.W.!Copy !req
127. Here, just straighten
that stuff.Copy !req
128. I'll do the floor.Copy !req
129. Boy! Look at all this homework.Copy !req
130. You must love to do homework.Copy !req
131. Ooh! Look what I found!Copy !req
132. Stop looking like that—
you can't read.Copy !req
133. I don't have to read
to know what this is.Copy !req
134. It's a note from Francine.Copy !req
135. I knew it!Copy !req
136. "Dear Arthur...Copy !req
137. I love you."Copy !req
138. It says, "Arthur,
don't forget to bringCopy !req
139. "your baseball mitt
to school on Monday.Copy !req
140. Francine."Copy !req
141. Arthur and Francine!Copy !req
142. Arthur loves Francine!Copy !req
143. I'll do this stuff—
you... go get everythingCopy !req
144. out from the
under the bed.Copy !req
145. If you don't
love herCopy !req
146. then why is
your face red?Copy !req
147. That just proves
you love her.Copy !req
148. Mom!Copy !req
149. I'll take care of it.Copy !req
150. Look, Arthur,
it's very simple—Copy !req
151. the less time you spend
fighting with D.W.Copy !req
152. the faster
you'll get to the park.Copy !req
153. But she keeps bothering me.Copy !req
154. Who— me?Copy !req
155. If you both work as fast
as you can, and talk lessCopy !req
156. you'll be done in no time.Copy !req
157. I will if she will.Copy !req
158. There! Now, why not see
how fast you can go?Copy !req
159. Whoo!Copy !req
160. We did it!Copy !req
161. I just hope I
didn't miss Happy-
Crazy-Wow Day.Copy !req
162. But we're not
done yet, Arthur.Copy !req
163. D.W.:
You still have
to do my room!Copy !req
164. Ah! What are you doing?Copy !req
165. We have to hurry.Copy !req
166. Mr. Hippo can't sit
next to Ms. Monkeyhead.Copy !req
167. He'll squish her.Copy !req
168. They have to go
in a certain order.Copy !req
169. It's okay, I'm here.Copy !req
170. D.W., we can't spend all day
arranging your stuffed animals.Copy !req
171. They have to be just right
or they're not happy.Copy !req
172. Arthur, that's my button
and stone collection.Copy !req
173. Don't tell me— the buttons
will be sad, right?Copy !req
174. I spent all week
arranging them.Copy !req
175. You're ruining everything.Copy !req
176. Go do something else.Copy !req
177. I think your clothes have
really, really shrunk.Copy !req
178. They're for my dollhouse.Copy !req
179. They go on special hangers.Copy !req
180. Here's one.Copy !req
181. What?Copy !req
182. Forget it!Copy !req
183. I'm supposed to be
helping you cleanCopy !req
184. not playing dolls!Copy !req
185. They're put away.Copy !req
186. Mom!Copy !req
187. The important thing is
to try to work together.Copy !req
188. That's the only way
this will work.Copy !req
189. But she won't let
me put things away.Copy !req
190. Can I say
something?Copy !req
191. Arthur, D.W. helped
you clean your roomCopy !req
192. so now it's up to you
to return the favor.Copy !req
193. I have something to say!Copy !req
194. But I'm missing Happy-Crazy...
Whatever-It-Is Day.Copy !req
195. If you'd cleaned
your roomCopy !req
196. when you were
supposed to, ArthurCopy !req
197. you wouldn't have
this problem.Copy !req
198. D.W.:
I have something
to say.Copy !req
199. What is it, D.W.?Copy !req
200. Is it okay if
I just clean my room myself?Copy !req
201. What?Copy !req
202. Could I just clean
by myself, please?Copy !req
203. Please?Copy !req
204. I don't want Arthur
touching my things.Copy !req
205. Well, I think...Copy !req
206. Yes, D.W.,
that's a wonderful idea!Copy !req
207. Yes!
Thanks, D.W.!Copy !req
208. Woo-hoo!Copy !req
209. D.W., are you sure
you don't need any help?Copy !req
210. No— first of all,
you have cooties.Copy !req
211. Second of all,
I think you'd be sadCopy !req
212. if you didn't go to the park.Copy !req
213. And third of all,
you have cooties.Copy !req
214. Thanks.Copy !req
215. Yahoo!Copy !req
216. Whee!Copy !req
217. Yeah!Copy !req
218. Whoa!Copy !req
219. Yay, Arthur!
Yay,
Arthur!Copy !req
220. Once I did it
for a long time.Copy !req
221. Why were you so late, Arthur?Copy !req
222. You almost missed it.Copy !req
223. It was all D.W.'s fault.Copy !req
224. She... well, I guess
it's kind of my fault.Copy !req
225. I hadn't cleaned my room
for a while.Copy !req
226. I've done
that, too.Copy !req
227. One time my mom
wouldn't let me doCopy !req
228. any extra credits
projects until I
cleaned it up.Copy !req
229. Why can't I have
your mom?Copy !req
230. Hey, nice of you kids
to stick around.Copy !req
231. You know— "many hands
make light work."Copy !req
232. Cool!Copy !req
233. It's not what you think.Copy !req
234. Working togetherCopy !req
235. will make things
go a lot faster.Copy !req
236. So I've heard.Copy !req
237. And now...Copy !req
238. This is the Schooner Ernestina.Copy !req
239. The Ernestina was once
a fishing vessel.Copy !req
240. Now the Ernestina is
a floating classroom.Copy !req
241. The Ernestina helps teach kids
about the sea.Copy !req
242. Today we're going to use
teamworkCopy !req
243. to work on the schooner.Copy !req
244. We're going to swab the decks.Copy !req
245. We're going to set some bunks.Copy !req
246. This is your room
when you're on a boat.Copy !req
247. And we're going to make up
these bunks.Copy !req
248. I think it's called
"setting a bunk."Copy !req
249. You don't have much head room.Copy !req
250. So when you wake up and
you put your head upCopy !req
251. you'll bump your head.Copy !req
252. You go... kaboom with your head.Copy !req
253. We're also going to clean
the galley.Copy !req
254. We can get the job done faster
with teamwork.Copy !req
255. Ready on the pull?Copy !req
256. Ready on the pull.Copy !req
257. I think the kids did
a good job today.Copy !req
258. And now...Copy !req
259. Now I'd like you all to take
down the follow equationsCopy !req
260. which you will have to solve
for tomorrow's homework...Copy !req
261. Ever have one of those daysCopy !req
262. When it feels like time
is passing really slowly?Copy !req
263. Is it just me?Copy !req
264. I mean, only two seconds
have gone byCopy !req
265. but it feels a lot longer,
doesn't it?Copy !req
266. Okay, three seconds.Copy !req
267. Big whoop.Copy !req
268. Has this ever happened to you?Copy !req
269. Am I bored?Copy !req
270. No, I know what bored
feels like...Copy !req
271. That's like when D.W. watches
Mary Moo-Cow.Copy !req
272. Three fuzzy,
cuddly kitties— three.Copy !req
273. Let's count them again.Copy !req
274. That reminds me.Copy !req
275. There's hockey
on channel three.Copy !req
276. No! Mom, Arthur's
trying to change
the channelCopy !req
277. when the baby's
watchingCopy !req
278. the educational
show that's good
for her brains!Copy !req
279. Let's count them
one more time.Copy !req
280. One, two, three
fuzzy, cuddly kitties.Copy !req
281. Three.Copy !req
282. Three.Copy !req
283. That's boring.Copy !req
284. So what is this?Copy !req
285. What's happening to me?Copy !req
286. Ah!Copy !req
287. I thought schoolCopy !req
288. was never going
to end today.Copy !req
289. It felt like time
stood still.Copy !req
290. What's wrong with me?Copy !req
291. Maybe it's an
alien-influencedCopy !req
292. inter-dimensional
distortionCopy !req
293. of the time-space
continuum.Copy !req
294. That's the next
big thing.Copy !req
295. It's so obvious
what's wrong.Copy !req
296. Boys are too
thick to know.Copy !req
297. What? What is it?Copy !req
298. You're in love!Copy !req
299. What? I... don't be...
that's just wrong, uh-uh.Copy !req
300. You don't know what
you're talking about.Copy !req
301. Just tell me who it is.Copy !req
302. I am not in love!Copy !req
303. Say the name!Copy !req
304. Say the name!Copy !req
305. Get away
from me!Copy !req
306. Ha, got his swing.Copy !req
307. Psst.Copy !req
308. Hey, ArthurCopy !req
309. I know what's
wrong with you.Copy !req
310. You do?Copy !req
311. Here, have my apple.Copy !req
312. My mom says lack of roughageCopy !req
313. can make you cranky
like that.Copy !req
314. It's a good source of roughage.Copy !req
315. I don't even know
what that means.Copy !req
316. And I'm not cranky!Copy !req
317. A big bowl of oatmeal
is good, too!Copy !req
318. Keep trying, girls.Copy !req
319. I got all day.Copy !req
320. It's not
just you,
Arthur.Copy !req
321. I've felt
it, too.Copy !req
322. Lately I haven't
even wantedCopy !req
323. to double-check
my sums.Copy !req
324. And I haven't had
the energy to shop.Copy !req
325. Now that I think about it,
I haven't felt like eating.Copy !req
326. It's like the whole world's
messed up.Copy !req
327. We have to figure out
what's happening.Copy !req
328. Remember how happy
we used to be?Copy !req
329. Yeah, you know what was great—
that TV special...Copy !req
330. Hairy Mary's Scary Hairy
Halloween-a-rama, Boo!Copy !req
331. Another great show was
A Blunderbuss Thanksgiving.Copy !req
332. And what about The Kid
who got Clothes for Christmas?Copy !req
333. That was one of the saddest
shows I ever saw.Copy !req
334. It was great.Copy !req
335. That's what's
wrong with us!Copy !req
336. We're not sad enough?Copy !req
337. No, those were holiday showsCopy !req
338. but there hasn't been a holiday
in a long time.Copy !req
339. Yeah— no preparations,
no special store displaysCopy !req
340. no seasonal songs...Copy !req
341. no days
off from schoolCopy !req
342. no assemblies,
no decorations...Copy !req
343. And it's cold out
and the sun goes down early.Copy !req
344. It's like being dead,
only with homework.Copy !req
345. You know what we need?Copy !req
346. Less homework!Copy !req
347. Uh, no.Copy !req
348. We need to invent a new holiday!Copy !req
349. I told my mom your idea.Copy !req
350. She says
if it's a good oneCopy !req
351. she'll print it
in the paper.Copy !req
352. That's great!Copy !req
353. Uh, do you
understand
this movie?Copy !req
354. Uh-uh.Copy !req
355. Let's go tell everyone.Copy !req
356. Why do you want to tell everyone
we don't understand?Copy !req
357. No, we'll tell
them about creating
a new holiday.Copy !req
358. Oh, that's a
much better idea.Copy !req
359. Arthur, that is
the greatest idea!Copy !req
360. I bet we can think
of a perfect holiday.Copy !req
361. Anybody got
one yet?Copy !req
362. Maybe this isn't going to
be as easy as I thought.Copy !req
363. Let's approach this logically.Copy !req
364. What makes a holiday?Copy !req
365. Celebrating
an important
past event.Copy !req
366. Getting
presents!Copy !req
367. Relaxing.Copy !req
368. Appreciating
something.Copy !req
369. Honoring a
great person.Copy !req
370. Now we have guidelines.Copy !req
371. Let's think about itCopy !req
372. put all our ideas
togetherCopy !req
373. and we'll be done.Copy !req
374. This is going to be so terrific!Copy !req
375. Grandma—Copy !req
376. Did anything ever
happen here?Copy !req
377. Anything
like what, dear?Copy !req
378. Like a big battleCopy !req
379. or the biggest thing
that ever happened.Copy !req
380. When I was a girl,
everyone was very excitedCopy !req
381. when the Graf Zeppelin
flew over the town.Copy !req
382. Was there a big battle?Copy !req
383. No, it just flew over.Copy !req
384. It was very quiet.Copy !req
385. Hot ziggety!Copy !req
386. Not that that's not
exciting, GrandmaCopy !req
387. but I need
something
cool enoughCopy !req
388. to be a brand-
new holiday.Copy !req
389. Pony Day!Copy !req
390. I don't think so.Copy !req
391. People would love Pony Day.Copy !req
392. Just saying it is fun—
Pony Day, Pony Day, Pony Day.Copy !req
393. Po... ny Day!Copy !req
394. I haven't found
a good event to
celebrate yet.Copy !req
395. Stop thinking.Copy !req
396. I've got our holiday.Copy !req
397. Are you ready?Copy !req
398. "Give-Me-Candy" Day.Copy !req
399. "Give-Me-Candy" Day?Copy !req
400. Not you, me— me-me.Copy !req
401. "Give Me—
Buster Baxter— Candy" Day.Copy !req
402. On "Give-Me-Candy" DayCopy !req
403. everyone dresses up
in costumesCopy !req
404. and rings my doorbell.Copy !req
405. You mean just like Halloween?Copy !req
406. No, they don't ring every
doorbell, just my doorbell.Copy !req
407. Then they give me candy.Copy !req
408. It's a holiday about giving.Copy !req
409. About giving to you.Copy !req
410. No, because after
I've eaten all I canCopy !req
411. I share the rest with
all the little children.Copy !req
412. Great, huh?Copy !req
413. It would be, only my
idea is much better.Copy !req
414. A holiday should be
about relaxing.Copy !req
415. Eating candy is relaxing.Copy !req
416. Picture this: you turn on TVCopy !req
417. and see our big,
holiday special.Copy !req
418. I've heard enough!Copy !req
419. So let's get it in the paper
and make it a holiday.Copy !req
420. That's better than
"Give-Me-Candy" Day?Copy !req
421. I don't think so.Copy !req
422. Holidays are
about relaxingCopy !req
423. and having fun,
remember?Copy !req
424. They're also
about somethingCopy !req
425. Not nothing—
that was about nothing.Copy !req
426. Maybe you
didn't get it.Copy !req
427. Stop singing!Copy !req
428. No more singing!Copy !req
429. Igneous Rock Day?Copy !req
430. Yeah, a holiday is
about somethingCopy !req
431. that will last
for all timeCopy !req
432. and what lasts longer
than a big igneous rock?Copy !req
433. Uh...Copy !req
434. Psst, hey, Arthur.Copy !req
435. About this whole
holiday scheme...Copy !req
436. It's not a scheme.Copy !req
437. It's an attempt
to do something
worthwhile.Copy !req
438. Blah, blah, blah, right.Copy !req
439. Look, whatever it isCopy !req
440. a holiday needs
one thing—Copy !req
441. Fireworks!Copy !req
442. As soon as midnight hitsCopy !req
443. we have 24 hours of solid,
non-stop fireworks.Copy !req
