Arthur 9x15

1. Hey!

2. Hey!

3. Hey!

4. Hey!

5. Hey, D.W.

6. Hey!

7. Whoa!

8. It's up to us.

9. Everyone else is a... you know.

10. Francine!

11. Francine has a point.

12. She and Brain are way better at soccer than everyone else,

13. but that doesn't mean that we're...

14. The laughing stocks of Elwood City.

15. There's a game on!

16. Quit clowning around!

17. Aye-aye, Captain Frensky.

18. Oops!

19. Penalty kick for our side.

20. Just a minute, Francine.

21. It's Sue Ellen's turn.

22. Oh, no.

23. Oh, no.

24. Yee-haw!

25. Look at this team.

26. What a joke.

27. There's no drive, no desire...

28. Practice hasn't even started yet.

29. We're supposed to be goofing around.

30. MR. Today we're going to start with the eyes-on-the-ball drill.

31. MR. Today we're going to start with the eyes-on-the-ball drill.

32. In this drill, we sharpen our focus by keeping our...

33. Eyes on the ball?

34. That's right! And...

35. Excuse me, Coach?

36. I think we covered eyes- on-the-ball in kindergarten.

37. MR. That's what fundamentals are— the things you learn first

38. and practice the rest of your life.

39. And today we're focusing

40. on fundamental number one— the ball—

41. and keeping our eyes on it.

42. and keeping our eyes on it.

43. Let me hear you now.

44. Eyes on the ball!

45. Eyes on the ball!

46. Eyes on the ball! Eyes on the...

47. Hey.

48. I saw you playing soccer... well, trying to, anyway.

49. You've got some really good moves.

50. Yeah? Thanks.

51. You guys do a lot of basic drills.

52. There's nothing wrong with that.

53. But you seem more advanced.

54. Ever hear of the Soccer League?

55. The travel teams? Sure.

56. I'm on one of them: the Elwood City All-Stars.

57. I'm on one of them: the Elwood City All-Stars.

58. We're having tryouts this Saturday.

59. Check it out.

60. Thanks.

61. Yes!

62. Brain!

63. Hi!

64. Isn't this unbelievable?

65. Did you see some of the stuff they're doing?

66. It's great.

67. And best of all, no...

68. "Eyes on the ball"!

69. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

70. Not bad— next.

71. Not bad— next.

72. We'll let you know.

73. Those kids are really good.

74. Think we'll make it?

75. Wow!

76. Yeah— wow!

77. Pretty cool, huh?

78. I'll say— it almost feels like silk.

79. Can you get me one?

80. They're for All-Star players only.

81. You should see the teams we play against.

82. Montvale, Belmont, Wayuga?

83. You get to go everywhere.

84. You get to go everywhere.

85. You're going to be on two soccer teams and one of them travels?

86. When will you have time for homework?

87. Um... we're not going to be on two teams.

88. A lot of the practices conflict.

89. Oh.

90. But we'll never forget you guys.

91. It's just time for Brain and I

92. to take our game to the next level— you understand.

93. Have a good time, kids.

94. New guy.

95. Yeah, you!

96. In line here.

97. Barrettes.

98. Barrettes.

99. Yes, sir!

100. On the left.

101. Try to keep up, guys.

102. Tag the line.

103. And back.

104. Barrettes, you going to make it?

105. That's what I like to see— mental toughness.

106. Okay, everybody, two laps to cool down.

107. This cup feels like it's a hundred pounds.

108. I know.

109. Who knew it was such a long way to the next level?

110. Hey, guys— pretty intense, huh?

111. You said it. You bet.

112. Team— Jordan has decided to leave the team.

113. He has... other commitments.

114. There's nothing wrong with other commitments.

115. Better to realize that now than later.

116. Better to realize that now than later.

117. I want this team to give 110%.

118. Are you ready to give me that?

119. Yes, sir!

120. Good.

121. I've scheduled an extra practice this Thursday.

122. Here are reminder notes for your parents.

123. We're not quitters.

124. MR. Let's settle down, people.

125. We have some announcements— Alan?

126. I'm not going to be president of the computer club anymore.

127. I don't have the time.

128. But who's going to head up the club?

129. But who's going to head up the club?

130. Not to worry.

131. I will be your new driver on the information super-roadway.

132. We won't gigabyte off more than we can chew.

133. I'm sorry.

134. MR. I'm a little surprised there's practice today.

135. Coach Raggett only cancels for lightning.

136. Your old team canceled for rain.

137. What if someone slips?

138. My old team wasn't going to take me to the next level.

139. MR. What happens there— you play during blizzards?

140. MR. What happens there— you play during blizzards?

141. Dad!

142. Whoo-hoo! Way to go, Brain— excellent pass!

143. New Guy!

144. There was a better pass on your other side.

145. See the whole field, people.

146. I still thought that was pretty good.

147. The passing is getting sloppy, people.

148. We've go to work on the give-and-go.

149. Rae, Helga— demonstrate.

150. Good.

151. Good.

152. Barrettes, New Guy— you try it.

153. Wake up those tootsies, Barrettes!

154. You got to give, then go, go, go!

155. Break anything, Barrettes?

156. Then on your feet.

157. This isn't a spa.

158. Team— little talk.

159. Next game's a scrimmage, thank goodness.

160. We've been invited by Coach Crosswire over at Lakewood

161. to play his team.

162. We better schedule some extra practices.

163. They're not that bad.

164. They're not that bad.

165. Barrettes is right.

166. Anyway, it doesn't matter how bad they are.

167. I still want you to give 110%.

168. Is that clear?

169. Yes, sir!

170. Good— line up for sprint relays.

171. We'll cream them.

172. This is one game I'm not looking forward to winning.

173. That's not all I'm not looking forward to.

174. But you're not thinking of quitting, are you?

175. No, are... you?

176. And this webbed spot

177. will tell you the temperature in any city in the world.

178. Oh, no— it disappeared.

179. What have I done?

180. The computer went to sleep.

181. Just move the mouse or hit a key to wake it up.

182. Fascinating.

183. Why don't you join us, please?

184. I can't— I have soccer practice.

185. Let's try something a little simpler.

186. Now, this button is called the "shift key."

187. Team, little talk.

188. Lakewood is two players short.

189. Ordinarily this is a default situation.

190. But we've come all this way

191. and we want to demonstrate our superior might, right?

192. Right!

193. So we're going to loan them two players.

194. New Guy, Barrettes— see you after the game.

195. Come on, focus!

196. Buster!

197. All right, Buster!

198. You almost had it.

199. Nice try.

200. You, too.

201. You, too.

202. What are we waiting for?

203. Good eye, Binky.

204. Just figure out your options.

205. Give and go, Brain.

206. What a move!

207. Okay, team, we'll debrief before we head back.

208. Terrific game, team— just terrific!

209. But we lost 3-1, Daddy.

210. So? You actually scored on the Elwood City All-Stars.

211. You played like a finely tuned machine.

212. And that calls for a little high-octane fuel.

213. Pizza and ice cream!

214. I think you two are wanted across the field.

215. I think you two are wanted across the field.

216. It was really great having you two back for a game.

217. Things just haven't been the same since you quit.

218. Wait a second.

219. We made a pact never to quit, right?

220. Right.

221. Well, we already broke it.

222. We broke it when we quit them— our real team.

223. So you're saying that quitting the All-Stars

224. wouldn't be quitting.

225. It would actually be renewing our dedication

226. to a previous commitment.

227. Uh... yeah.

228. Uh... yeah.

229. With pizza.

230. MR. Pair up, everybody.

231. This give-and-go drill is a beauty.

232. So Coach Raggett didn't mind letting you go?

233. He said he loses three kids a season on average,

234. so we were right in line with the numbers.

235. I also told him the computer club was going to dissolve

236. unless I took it over again.

237. Well, kids, it just goes to show you:

238. sometimes you quit when you win,

239. and sometimes you win when you quit.

240. and sometimes you win when you quit.

241. And now...

242. Hi, my name is Alex.

243. Today we're going to play dodge ball.

244. This is recess, and we just play on our own.

245. We're just playing for the fun of it.

246. Everybody gets to play and have fun.

247. We're going to show you how we organize

248. a good game of dodge ball.

249. We're going to pick teams and play fair.

250. Heads or tails?

251. Heads or tails?

252. I call heads.

253. It's tails— James picks first.

254. I'll pick David.

255. Becca.

256. Markus. Michael.

257. Tori. Billy.

258. Kyle.

259. Victoria. Ben.

260. Jakira. Andrew.

261. Daryll. Jill.

262. Farizdaq. Elaine.

263. There are two teams.

264. And there's the line where you put the balls between the cones.

265. And when you say "go" or "dodge ball,"

266. the teams have to run up to the middle line, get the balls,

267. the teams have to run up to the middle line, get the balls,

268. and throw it on each other.

269. If it hits them, then they're out,

270. and if you get everyone out, you win.

271. Does everybody get it?

272. Yeah.

273. Everyone got to play, because it's just playing at school.

274. Everyone got to play, because it's just playing at school.

275. It's not any big thing.

276. James went over the line...

277. Well, part of his foot did.

278. We kids just pretty much did this on our own.

279. Everybody got to be in the game, not just some people.

280. That's important, because if you leave kids out,

281. that'll make them feel bad.

282. It will make you feel bad, too.

283. It will make you feel bad, too.

284. And now...

285. ♪ She died, of course!

286. Wasn't that fun, boys and girls?

287. Okay, everyone, time for a nap.

288. Find your places.

289. I don't understand that song.

290. Why did the old lady swallow a horse?

291. To catch the goat.

292. To catch the dog, to catch the cat,

293. to catch the bird, to catch the spider, that wriggled...

294. Yeah, I know all that.

295. But why'd she swallow the fly

296. But why'd she swallow the fly

297. in the first place?

298. That's gross!

299. I don't know—

300. I'd eat a fly covered in chocolate.

301. Would not!

302. Would, too!

303. Emily, people do all sorts of strange things

304. for no reason at all.

305. Look at those guys!

306. Higher, James!

307. Come on, put some muscle into it!

308. Hold it!

309. Hey, this is pretty.

310. Let me see!

311. Give me it!

312. Give me!

313. That's mine, let go of it!

314. That's mine, let go of it!

315. Hand it over.

316. That's mine.

317. No, it isn't.

318. I... I dropped it earlier.

319. You did?

320. Well, where'd you get it?

321. Marie-Hélène gave it to me.

322. She, um... she brought it back with her

323. on her trip to France.

324. It's called a "shay-val."

325. That's French for "ball."

326. Okay.

327. D.W.: Hey...

328. maybe Marie-Hélène has another "shay-val'for me.

329. maybe Marie-Hélène has another "shay-val'for me.

330. I'll ask her about it

331. when she picks you up from school today.

332. Um, you know, Marie-Hélène may not be able to talk to you, D.W.

333. She's really, really busy.

334. Oh, this won't take long.

335. D.W.!

336. Mom, can we just wait one minute?

337. Sorry, honey, I've got yoga class in 15 minutes.

338. There's Marie-Hélène!

339. Got to go.

340. See you, D.W.

341. Doctor, will she be all right?

342. She'll live.

343. But we've discovered something, Shelby.

344. Kara is your twin sister!

345. I'll get it.

346. Stay here and tell me what happens.

347. Hi, Emily.

348. Is Marie-Hélène at home?

349. Um... yeah.

350. But you can't come in.

351. But you can't come in.

352. Why not?

353. Because... because...

354. she's sick!

355. She is?

356. Yeah, really sick.

357. The doctor said it might be something called...

358. um, halitosis.

359. It's very dangerous.

360. I may be getting it, too.

361. But come on in, if you want.

362. Just try not to breathe too much.

363. Um... that's okay.

364. I have to go home...

365. I have to go home...

366. right now. Me, too.

367. Here. Get well.

368. Emily, who is there?

369. It's just D.W.

370. I've got it!

371. Don't get up.

372. You need your rest.

373. Poor Marie-Hélène.

374. Got to run.

375. Hmm.

376. Where is D.W.?

377. Didn't you invite her in?

378. Oh, she was in a rush.

379. She just stopped by to give me these.

380. Want some ice cream on this?

381. Want some ice cream on this?

382. D.W.: I just know she's lying.

383. I mean, who eats ice cream when they're sick?

384. I do.

385. So do you.

386. So do you.

387. Everyone does.

388. That's true.

389. Okay, maybe it was the way she was scooping it—

390. like she had something to hide.

391. Maybe Marie-Hélène really is sick.

392. Of course you would defend her.

393. You are a snowball thief.

394. Aha!

395. There's your proof!

396. What?

397. What am I looking at?

398. Sit here, Emily.

399. Sit here, Emily.

400. How are you feeling?

401. Are you feeling better?

402. You seemed really sick yesterday.

403. Um... yeah, much better.

404. I... took some medicine.

405. Hah!

406. You're lying!

407. D.W.: Oh, Tommy!

408. You ruined the trap!

409. You have to wait until she says Marie-Hélène is still sick.

410. Sorry...

411. I forgot.

412. But...

413. but she is still sick.

414. but she is still sick.

415. Oh, really?

416. Then why did I see her buying strawberries at the supermarket?

417. Because... because...

418. that wasn't Marie-Hélène.

419. That was Hélène-Marie, her twin sister!

420. Oh, come on!

421. What?

422. My parents had to get someone to take care of me

423. now that Marie-Hélène is in the hospital.

424. The hospital?

425. Yes.

426. Her halitosis has gotten much worse.

427. Her halitosis has gotten much worse.

428. Hélène-Marie is so worried about her.

429. We all are.

430. I would be, too.

431. I give up.

432. Hello?

433. Oh, hi, Mrs. Read.

434. Hold on, I'll get her.

435. Mommy!

436. She'll be right down.

437. She'll be right down.

438. D.W. just told me about Marie-Hélène, Emily.

439. This must be hard for you.

440. Emily?

441. Hello?

442. Actually, my mom just stepped out, Mrs. Read.

443. I'll have her call you. Bye.

444. Never mind.

445. It was a telemarketer.

446. I'm going to bed.

447. I don't feel so well.

448. Where are we going?

449. Anywhere we can.

450. She's after us!

451. Who?

452. Her!

453. Come back here, you lying liar!

454. Faster! Faster!

455. She mustn't catch me!

456. Oh, no— it's a dead end!

457. What are we going to do?

458. Psst!

459. Over here— I can help you.

460. You poor dears!

461. You must be famished,

462. running away from that giant.

463. Actually, I am quite peckish.

464. Are you sure we're safe here?

465. Are you sure we're safe here?

466. Oh, yes, don't worry about a thing.

467. I have magical powers that will protect you here.

468. Why don't you try one of these?

469. It doesn't taste like anything at all.

470. What is it?

471. A fly.

472. A fly?

473. I didn't want to eat a fly!

474. Aah! I can feel it buzzing!

475. Yes, they disagree with me, too, sometimes.

476. Yes, they disagree with me, too, sometimes.

477. Best thing for it is to eat one of these.

478. And if the spiders upset you,

479. you just chase it with a bird...

480. then a cat, then a dog...

481. then a goat!

482. Well, tuck in.

483. Don't be bashful.

484. You're the old lady from that song.

485. There's no way you could have eaten all these things.

486. There's no way you could have eaten all these things.

487. Well, uh... ooh.

488. Maybe I told a little fib

489. and then I couldn't stop telling them.

490. Oh!

491. I, um... don't have magical powers, either.

492. I'm sorry, D.W.

493. I don't know why I lied!

494. Please! I'll give you the ball!

495. I suppose it wasn't a complete lie.

496. Who knows?

497. I just might wind up eating a horse.

498. Mom?

499. I have to tell you something.

500. So then I had to tell another lie to cover up the first lie

501. So then I had to tell another lie to cover up the first lie

502. and it just kept getting bigger and bigger.

503. So... there is no Hélène-Marie?

504. Oh. We wanted to give her these

505. so people wouldn't confuse her with her twin.

506. I'm sorry, Timmy.

507. But why did you lie to us

508. in the first place?

509. We're your friends.

510. Because I wanted this.

511. Here, it's yours.

512. You found it.

513. All that lying for a little rubber ball?

514. You can keep it.

515. You can keep it.

516. No way!

517. After all the trouble it caused me?

518. I never want to see that thing again!

519. It doesn't even bounce that well.

520. Let's leave it here.

521. Want to play tag?

522. You're it!

523. ( D.W.

524. Hey!

525. Hey!
