Arthur 9x12

1. Hey!

2. Hey!

3. Hey!

4. Hey!

5. Hey, D.W.

6. Hey!

7. Whoa!

8. "Trouble in the Sandbox."

9. Throughout history,

10. there have been kids who don't play well together.

11. From the dawn of time...

12. To the heyday of this great nation.

13. Your crops are where our cows graze!

14. Your cows are where our crops grow!

15. Even in the days of your grandma and grandpa.

16. Now, this I like.

17. That's the way things have always been,

18. and that's the way things always will be.

19. Wait!

20. This just in, ladies and gentlemen—

21. and you'll never believe it when I tell you!

22. Hey!

23. Look, Arthur,

24. it's so hot, my hair is crying.

25. That's sweat, D.W.

26. That's sweat, D.W.

27. Last one in the pool's a rotten egg!

28. The gate's locked.

29. "Community pool closed for repairs"?

30. Closed?

31. What are we going to do?

32. I'm "suffer-cating" from heat.

33. Water!

34. Ow, that's hot.

35. Somebody's got to have a pool we can use.

36. What about Muffy?

37. What about Muffy?

38. Um... maybe...

39. We could run

40. in Grandma Thora's sprinkler.

41. Yeah, but that's not a pool.

42. I know!

43. The Tibble twins just got a new pool— we can swim there.

44. Tibbles?

45. Water.

46. Okay.

47. Muffy's?

48. I'm so glad you came over.

49. D.W.: Ow!

50. Faster!

51. Ow!

52. Faster!

53. Ow!

54. Grandma Thora?

55. I'm sure the Senior Center pool

56. will be much more fun than my sprinkler.

57. And reach, and reach— let's go, ladies!

58. This water's really hot.

59. It's like taking a bath, only with lots of ladies.

60. Library?

61. Library?

62. Uh, it's not a pool,

63. but at least it's got air conditioning.

64. I wouldn't go in there if I were you.

65. The air conditioner's broken.

66. What does a kid have to do to cool off in this town?

67. Hey, no splashing!

68. D.W., wait!

69. Oops...

70. Oh, hello, D.W.

71. You don't need me to kiss you again, do you?

72. Uh-uh.

73. I didn't know you had a pool.

74. My mom talked to your mom,

75. and you can swim here,

76. as long as Arthur swims here, too.

77. Okay with me.

78. I told you we'd find a pool.

79. Not just any pool, the perfect pool!

80. Not just any pool, the perfect pool!

81. Well, well, well,

82. I didn't know it was baby day at the pool.

83. Take one more step, and you're entering a world of pain.

84. Take that last cupcake, and you're entering a world of pain.

85. Step in that pool,

86. and you're entering a world of pain.

87. Uh, we were just going.

88. But we just got here!

89. But we just got here!

90. And now we're leaving.

91. I'm not going, so you can't go!

92. Mom said you had to watch me.

93. And your mother said we could.

94. So, Arthur, you get in that pool!

95. We'll see about that.

96. My mother says I have to let them play here.

97. That's okay.

98. All you have to do is make it so hard for them to have fun

99. that they'll never come back again.

100. I like that.

101. I swim on my side of the pool, and you swim on yours,

102. I swim on my side of the pool, and you swim on yours,

103. if you can even get in.

104. Walk the plank, argh!

105. Argh!

106. Me next, me next!

107. Make me walk the plank.

108. Okay, matey, prepare to...

109. Gotcha.

110. Ready... aim... fire!

111. Ready... aim... fire!

112. How babyish.

113. Anybody can do that.

114. Give it to me.

115. See?

116. That's how you shoot baskets.

117. Now you try it.

118. Yeah!

119. Gee, thanks, Molly.

120. Don't mention it.

121. Can you show me how you do

122. that water squirt thingy with your palms?

123. Hey, Arthur, watch this!

124. Molly want a cracker?

125. Argh!

126. Oh, and you can squirt water

127. from under your armpit, too.

128. Cool.

129. If you want, I can show you how to do a hook shot.

130. Okay.

131. So, Molly,

132. did you tell that little baby to get lost?

133. Huh?

134. What's he doing here?

135. You're not hanging out with him, are you?

136. No, I... he... I mean...

137. No, I... he... I mean...

138. Here's your ice cream, Molly.

139. It's all my allowance would buy.

140. I'm sorry I touched your pool.

141. If you need more money, I'll bring it tomorrow.

142. Just don't let it happen again.

143. Good work, Moll.

144. See you at the jungle gym.

145. You saved my reputation.

146. My friends would never let me live it down

147. if they knew I liked you.

148. Yeah, I'm not sure my friends would understand either.

149. Yeah, I'm not sure my friends would understand either.

150. They'd probably get scared.

151. Maybe you guys should just act like you don't know each other

152. around everybody else.

153. Deal?

154. Deal.

155. Holding hands?

156. I don't believe it.

157. I saw it.

158. They were right in the park in broad daylight.

159. They must've been arm-wrestling.

160. They must've been arm-wrestling.

161. You don't arm-wrestle standing up.

162. She's right, you need a table.

163. Face it, Buster, Arthur's in l-o-v-e, love.

164. I won't believe it, till I see it.

165. It's so ridiculous!

166. It's goofy what Muffy is saying about you.

167. She said that you and...

168. Hey, Arthur, I found the ball...

169. that you touched.

170. Quit leaving your cooties all over my yard.

171. Can you believe that?

172. She can keep her old ball!

173. Uh, be right back.

174. That was a close one.

175. Sorry about that.

176. No problem.

177. Thanks for the ball.

178. I have something I want to show you.

179. Meet me at the library in an hour.

180. It's got all kinds of cool hand tricks in it,

181. like squirting water and stuff.

182. Oh, no! That's for babies, you baby.

183. Quit following me.

184. Whew!

185. That was a super close one.

186. I'll say.

187. Want to come shoot some hoops?

188. Sure.

189. And then they walked off together.

190. I saw it.

191. I can't believe it.

192. What's Arthur turning into?

193. Hey, Arthur.

194. Hey, Arthur.

195. You sit there, and you're entering a world of pain.

196. Ooh! We've got to do something,

197. or Arthur will turn into one of them.

198. And yesterday, he gave her a book,

199. and when they thought I wasn't looking,

200. they went off together.

201. What if she turns into one of them?

202. Hey, everybody!

203. Let's name the state capitals.

204. Let's name the state capitals.

205. We've got to save Molly before it's too late.

206. Your friend is ruining my friend.

207. No, your friend is ruining my friend.

208. Your friend started this mess,

209. but we're going to put an end to it.

210. No, we will!

211. Okay, guys,

212. let's go catch those two being friends.

213. And put a stop to it.

214. Where's Arthur?

215. Uh, he, uh... he...

216. You told him he couldn't swim here anymore, didn't you?

217. I... I...

218. He didn't want to swim with you, right?

219. I... I, uh... I...

220. That's what I call teamwork.

221. Thank goodness we nipped this thing in the bud

222. before we all became friends.

223. Let's go get a milkshake to celebrate.

224. Let's go get a milkshake to celebrate.

225. Is it safe?

226. What are you doing here?

227. The community pool is open again.

228. I just wanted to give you back your ball

229. in case you need it for anything.

230. Aah, you better keep it.

231. I can't use it

232. now that it has nerdy germs on it.

233. You want your book back?

234. I won't be able to read it anymore.

235. You've put your cooties all over it.

236. And now...

237. Hi, my name is Amanda, and this is my class.

238. And we are writing stories about friends.

239. "How the Dog and the Cat Became Friends."

240. Unexpected friends.

241. "The Hamburger and the Hotdog."

242. They're not

243. just people; they can be anything.

244. The title of our story is "The Clock and the Virus."

245. The title of our story is "The Clock and the Virus."

246. For an example, we have "Ketchup and Mustard" by Max and Max.

247. This is ketchup and this is mustard.

248. They start as enemies and they become friends.

249. "Once upon a time...

250. "a mother was going to eat a burger.

251. "Ketchup said, 'She's going to put me on it.'

252. "Then Mustard said, 'She's going to put me on it.'

253. They argue about who's tastier.

254. "Then the lettuce said to the meat,

255. 'Why are they arguing?'"

256. Because they don't think

257. different people should be friends.

258. different people should be friends.

259. "So they said, 'Okay, we'll be friends.'"

260. Friends don't have to be alike.

261. Different, but mostly the same.

262. If you, like, meet somebody that you like and they like you,

263. then you kind of start playing together.

264. It doesn't matter how they look or how they talk.

265. It just matters what's inside of them.

266. Here are two things you wouldn't expect to be friends.

267. Our story is about a robin and a worm,

268. and usually robins and worms wouldn't get together

269. because robins would eat worms.

270. because robins would eat worms.

271. "One day, the robin was gliding over a garden

272. "and he spotted a little movement in the grass.

273. "So he swooped down, but when he swooped down, he hurt his wing.

274. "After a few minutes, the worm was back.

275. "He brought a bandage to help the bird's wing.

276. "So they played the whole day together

277. and became great friends."

278. It wouldn't happen with a robin and a worm,

279. but it could happen with people.

280. We are friends.

281. If you want to be

282. somebody's friend, you can be anybody's friend.

283. somebody's friend, you can be anybody's friend.

284. Yeah.

285. And now...

286. Well! Where did you come from?

287. Not exactly a night for exploring, is it?

288. Why don't you come inside and dry...

289. Why don't you come inside and dry...

290. Oh!

291. Feisty, aren't we?

292. Well, I'll just leave this open

293. and you can come in if you want to.

294. "Killer."

295. Hmm, that's a mighty tough name for such a cute little thing.

296. Well, I bet you're hungry, Killer.

297. That's leftover beef stroganoff,

298. and it took me two hours to make,

299. so I don't want to hear any complaints.

300. Well, lookee here.

301. It's a little fuzzy rat.

302. What a strange thing

303. to put on a leash.

304. Come down here and say that, fuzz face!

305. I'll tie your whiskers in knots!

306. Ooh, it has a temper!

307. Now, now, little dog-thing,

308. don't strangle yourself... yet.

309. You better have all nine lives,

310. because you're going to need every one of them after I...

311. What are you looking at, liver lips?

312. And stay away!

313. Yeah, that's right, keep on walking!

314. Yeah, that's right, keep on walking!

315. Sorry about that.

316. She's a little cranky.

317. Where is she?

318. Where's the doggie?

319. She's in the kitchen.

320. You may want to wait a bit before...

321. She's beautiful!

322. Not at all like Arthur's stinky dog!

323. Hi, little Killer.

324. You want to play?

325. Oh, no, D.W., be careful!

326. I didn't do anything!

327. She just came at me like I was a piece of meat!

328. It's not your fault, D.W.

329. Killer is a little... well, high-strung.

330. High-strung?

331. She's a monster!

332. Let's leave Killer

333. to finish her supper in peace.

334. Excuse me, but that person you barked at

335. happens to be the sister of my owner.

336. So?

337. So, I think you owe her an apology.

338. So, I think you owe her an apology.

339. Oh, no!

340. Did I scare that girl when she snuck up on me?

341. How terrible!

342. I'll go lick her feet right away.

343. Here, help yourself to my kibble.

344. Kibble?

345. Oh, well, I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding.

346. D.W. can be very trying sometimes.

347. Mmm!

348. Smells beefy!

349. A trap!

350. You probably just scared her.

351. You probably just scared her.

352. You have to be very gentle with new dogs.

353. Pal!

354. And then the beast came at me,

355. its giant jaws snapping!

356. But I used the old tuck-and-roll...

357. escaping just in time!

358. Then Arthur came in.

359. I ran to his defense,

360. but when my back was turned, the beast struck!

361. Wounding me mercilessly!

362. I dragged myself...

363. to Arthur's side

364. and collapsed, hoping that my useless body

365. and collapsed, hoping that my useless body

366. might somehow shield my master from harm.

367. Poor Pal!

368. Where did the dog bite you?

369. Left leg.

370. I think I saw bone.

371. I can't see anything.

372. Oh!

373. Must have healed.

374. There she is— hide!

375. That's it?

376. That's the beast that attacked you?

377. She's a lapdog!

378. Let me talk to her.

379. No, Amigo, don't!

380. She's small but vicious!

381. She's small but vicious!

382. Maybe he'll have better luck.

383. He's very charming.

384. ¡Buenos días!

385. Welcome to the neighborhood!

386. ¡Ay, mamita!

387. You are a monster!

388. We're so sorry, Ramón.

389. I'm glad Amigo's okay, but if there's anything you need,

390. just let me know.

391. You've had the signs up for a week.

392. It's time to think about taking Killer

393. to the animal shelter.

394. to the animal shelter.

395. There, there.

396. It won't be that bad.

397. A pretty dog like you?

398. You'll be with a lovely family in no time.

399. Hey, Frank, get the gloves.

400. Killer is back.

401. You know this dog?

402. Oh, yeah.

403. Killer's been in and out of here a lot.

404. People adopt and return her quickly.

405. You probably know why.

406. Well, she was a little difficult, but...

407. Well, she was a little difficult, but...

408. We'll take it from here, ma'am.

409. Hey, guys, look, it's a chew toy.

410. You got any biscuits, chew toy?

411. N-No.

412. What is this place?

413. The end of the line, sister,

414. where they put the repeat offenders,

415. the rejects, the lifers.

416. Better get comfy,

417. Better get comfy,

418. because you're going to be here a while.

419. I'm very sorry to have bothered you, but I've changed my mind.

420. You poor dear!

421. Life has been hard for you, hasn't it?

422. But if this is going to work out,

423. there has to be some changes.

424. You have to be nicer to my grandchildren

425. and other dogs, understand?

426. I'm telling you, Amigo, this is my bone.

427. I'm telling you, Amigo, this is my bone.

428. I distinctly remember burying it.

429. Then how did it get in my yard?

430. It is mine!

431. Hey, guys!

432. I'm back!

433. This is it, old friend—

434. the last stand.

435. So!

436. You have the nerve to come back after what you did

437. to my paw!

438. And my leg.

439. Oh, yeah, I'm really sorry about that.

440. But things will be different now.

441. You see,

442. I never really had a home before, but now...

443. I never really had a home before, but now...

444. Don't waste your breath!

445. We don't talk to biters!

446. I'm not a biter.

447. I mean, not really.

448. Oh, come on!

449. I said I was sorry!

450. Excuse me.

451. I, um... brought you something.

452. Someone left it at the dog run.

453. Ooh!

454. What a pretty ball!

455. Stand back, Kate!

456. It's a trap!

457. It isn't a trap.

458. I'm not getting much use out of it,

459. I'm not getting much use out of it,

460. so I thought you and Amigo might want it.

461. We have our own toys, thank you very much!

462. Good day to you, madam!

463. Well, I'll leave it here

464. in case you change your mind.

465. Pal, maybe you should give Killer a second chance.

466. She really is trying to be nice.

467. Kate, we pets have a saying—

468. you can't teach an old person new tricks.

469. Well, the same applies to dogs.

470. If I were her,

471. I'd leave this neighborhood.

472. I'd leave this neighborhood.

473. She'll never fit in.

474. Come to Nemo, my feathery bonbon—

475. just a little bit closer.

476. Stupid wings!

477. They take all the fun out of hunting!

478. Oh, no, I'm doomed!

479. Oh, thank goodness!

480. It's that cat-saving boy.

481. Hello! Up here!

482. Yoo-hoo!

483. Wait!

484. Wait! Come back!

485. Oh...!

486. Help! Help!

487. Help! Help!

488. Hello, little squirrel, could you...?

489. Oh, it's you.

490. I... I didn't mean you looked squirrelish, I just...

491. No!

492. I look like a little fuzzy rat, right?

493. You're right.

494. I don't expect you, of all creatures, to help me.

495. I guess I'll perish up here,

496. cold, wet, alone!

497. You can cut the act, cat.

498. I'll help you.

499. Where is your owner?

500. Where is your owner?

501. On the third floor of that building.

502. Quick, someone's going in!

503. I can't get in.

504. We'll have to try something else.

505. Hurry!

506. Hurry!

507. I can't hold on much longer!

508. And then the little dog didn't move one inch,

509. even though the truck was just about to flatten her

510. like a plantain!

511. You sure this was Killer who did this?

512. I heard it straight from Spot and Dot, the fire dogs.

513. But I thought dogs didn't like cats.

514. Why would Killer help Nemo?

515. I don't know,

516. but any animal who risks her life for another

517. can't be all bad.

518. This is to officially welcome you

519. to the neighborhood.

520. It's a very good bone.

521. It's a very good bone.

522. Ham, as I recall.

523. It was lamb, and it was mine.

524. Really?

525. For me?

526. My very own bone?

527. Oh, you guys, you're the best!

528. Come on!

529. Let's go bury it in the neighbors' yard!

530. Well, I guess it's better to be licked than bitten.

531. True, true.

532. You might want to know the secret formula

533. for drawing Arthur.

534. We'll do two letter O's,

535. hook them together with a little upside-down letter U.

536. Then we'll do a larger letter U like this.

537. We'll do a straight line here.

538. Two dots here.

539. Two lines here.

540. Two dots here.

541. A curved line for his mouth.

542. I will add his ears.

543. And there's Arthur.

544. That's great!

545. That's great!

546. Hey!

547. Hey!
