Arthur and All of his Hits

Transcript
Francine (opening the front door for Arthur and D.W. to come right inside): "Hey, Arthur, come on, let's go play scientists."

Arthur: "I don't wanna play scientists, D.W. went and lost most of my ants."

Francine: [Gasps In Shock]

D.W.: "I didn't lose any of them, I just knocked right into the table in the backyard and the ant farm fell right over and they ran away."

Arthur: "Hmmph."

Francine: "I'm terribly sorry about your ants, maybe you'll feel so much better when we make this volcano abrupt."

Arthur: "Volcanos don't abrupt, they erupt, that means they explode and spit out fiery lava."

Francine: "Hmmph."

D.W.: "Arthur doesn't care about anything except for his stupid and crazy revolting ants."

Arthur: "My ants aren't stupid and they're not crazy!"

D.W.: "They are too crazy, they just let themselves get lost."

Arthur: "No they're not!"

Arthur: "Hmmph."

D.W.: "Yes they are!"

Arthur: [Growling In Anger]

Francine: [Gasping In Shock] "Hey, what's the matter with him?"

Buster: "Uh oh,"

Fern: "I can't even watch,"

Carl: "I can't even look to see where it's happening."

Binky: "I think he's gonna abrubt."

D.W.: "Arthur, I-"

[Loud Smack!]

D.W.: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

D.W. sits right down on the sofa.

D.W.: "Did you see that? he hit me."

D.W.: [Cries A Bit]

Buster: "I don't believe you did that."

Francine: "Arthur, that was mean, I'm gonna go tell Mom, Dad and Katherine."

Binky: "Big tattle tale."

Francine: "It's not tattling if somebody gets hurts."

Oliver, Laverne and Katherine come right into the living room.

Oliver: "Hey, what on earth is going on in here?"

Laverne: "Oh, D.W., what are you crying about?"

D.W.: [Crying A Bit] "Arthur just hit me,"

Laverne: "Oh dear."

D.W.: "and right on my left arm, it's really hurting."

D.W.: [Cries A Bit]

Oliver: "My oh my, Arthur, I'm quite surprised, you never did anything like this before."

George: "I guess he decided to begin."

Oliver: "Hmm, Arthur, come with me outside to the garden and we'll have a nice conversation with 1 another, what do you say? come on now."

Arthur and Oliver walk around on their way to the garden right outside the Frensky family's backyard.

D.W.: [Crying A Bit] "Oh my arm's hurting, Mrs. Frensky."

D.W.: [Still Crying A Bit]

Meanwhile outside in the garden............

Oliver: "So tell me, Arthur, what's going on around here? how exactly would you feel if somebody was to get angry and upset and hit you?"

Arthur: "I know, Mr. Frensky, but it's just not fair, D.W. knocked over my most favorite ant farm, and all of my ants escaped."

Oliver: "I'm pretty sure she didn't mean to do that on purpose, Arthur."

Arthur: "She's always doing stuff like that, even though it's not on purpose, it makes me so angry and upset."

Oliver: "Oh yeah, I see, it's okay to feel angry and upset about these things, but it's not okay for you to hit somebody in anger."

Arthur: "Yeah right, my mom and dad always say that to me too."

Oliver: "Well that's 'cause it's true, you must never hit anybody at all, do you understand right now?"

Arthur: [Sighs Heavily] "Yeah, I understand right now."

Oliver: "That's good, 'cause our hands are just not meant to be used for-[Thud!] ow."

Arthur: "But I guess it's okay to hit yourself with your own toys and things."

Oliver: "Oh yeah, I'm building a model sailboat, and my fingers are a bit stuck in it."

Oliver tries to get it off, but to no avail.)

Oliver: [Grunts A Bit] "Never mind that, I'll get it off later, now let's go right back inside and apologize to D.W. for your behavior, hmm?"

Arthur: "Do I really have to?"

Oliver: "Yes, Arthur, you really do."

Arthur and Oliver go right back inside the Frensky family's apartment.

Oliver: "Alright, [Clears Throat] D.W.? Arthur's got something to say to you."

Arthur: "D.W., I'm terribly sorry I went beserk and hit you."

D.W.: "An apology's been accepted."

Oliver: "Now isn't that nice?"

Katherine: "now all of you kids have fun and excitement and be nice and respective to 1 another."

Francine: "Arthur, do you wanna erupt our volcano right now?"

Arthur: "No way, I'm still angry and upset about what happened to my ants."

Laverne: "Francine? maybe Arthur just needs some silent time on his own, how 'bout we watch some television shows."

Francine: "Yeah, Arthur, maybe you'll feel so much better when you watch some television shows."

Arthur: "I'll feel so much better when everybody just leaves me alone, alright?"

Francine: "Well excuse me, Arthur."

Arthur: "ARRRRGGH!"

Binky: "Hey, Arthur, wanna help me build my skyscraper?"

Arthur: "Ha! you call that a skyscraper? it's just a big junk pile made from Lego bricks."

Binky: "No it's not, it's a skyscraper."

Arthur: "Is not!"

Binky: "Is too!"

Arthur: "Is not!"

Binky: "Is too!"

Arthur: "Is not!"

Laverne: "Boys, could you please stop this shouting and arguing?"

Binky: "Arthur's a grouch, Arthur's a grouch."

Katherine: "Arthur, Binky, come on, please."

Binky: "Grouch."

Arthur: "Knock it off, Binky!"

Binky: Arthur's a grou-ouch

Arthur's a grou-ouch

Arthur's a grou-ouch.

Binky: [Chuckling A Bit]

Fern: "Uh oh."

Binky: "Big grouch, big grouch."

Arthur: "I said knock it off already!"

Binky: "Hey! Arthur!"

[Loud Smack!]

Binky: "Yow!"

Oliver: "Oh my word! Arthur! oh don't tell me, here we go again."

Meanwhile..........

Laverne: "Arthur?"

Arthur: "Huh, what?"

Laverne: "Don't you wanna play with Buster, Francine and the others?"

Arthur: "No, I still feel angry and upset."

Laverne: "Oh, you're having a super hard day today, aren't you?"

Arthur: "I just don't know why, Mrs. Frensky, but I got all of these terrible hits inside of me."

Laverne: "Well it's 'cause you're angry and upset about things, it's a bit disturbing to be angry and upset, right?"

Arthur: "Yeah, I think so."

Laverne: "It's alright to be angry and upset, you know, but it's not alright to hit other people just 'cause you're angry and upset."

Arthur: "Then what am I gonna do with all of the hits that wanna come outta me?"

Laverne: "Oh, good question, I know, you come with me, I'll show you exactly what you can do."

Arthur: "Oh yeah."

Arthur and Laverne go right outside the backyard.

Laverne: "You can put all of your hits right into this broom and use them up on this washroom carpet, I'll demonstrate for you, it's very scientific, just watch that hit come right out, 1, 2, and 3."

[Whack!]

Arthur: "Wow, hey."

Laverne: "You can pretend you're playing softball."

Arthur: "Oh yeah, 1, 2 and 3."

Meanwhile again.......

Buster: "Hey, you guys, guess what? Arthur can't control his anger, Mrs. Frensky's having him clean the washroom carpet."

Francine: "Can't control his anger? oh gee, poor Arthur."

D.W.: [Gasps In Surprise] "What about poor me, Francine? my arm's still hurting you know."

D.W.: "Ouch, ow, ouch,"

Francine: "D.W."

D.W: "ow,"

Francine: "Since Arthur's having a super hard day,"

D.W.: "ouch."

Francine: "I thought we could try being super nice to him for a change."

D.W.: "Well how nice can we be?"
