Arthur's Mountain Adventure/Transcript

Act I
David: We're leaving tomorrow, so get packing.

(Arthur tries to pack his comics, but his father tells him there will be nothing but family-time during their vacation.)

David: This is going to be a family-first trip, with no superheroes or fiction of any kind. Hand them over...

(The scene switches to DW's room, with Jane inside helping her pack for the trip while holding Kate.)

DW: So, is Arthur in trouble?

Jane: Big trouble. I've never even seen your father this upset before, but Arthur has to own up for what he did last night. We told him he was not allowed to go to that movie, and he deliberately disobeyed us. So, he's coming with us.

DW: But, he's 10.

Jane: But, that doesn't mean he's too old to follow orders. People his age usually never rebel like teenagers.

Act II
DW: You're bad. You've ruined my trip.

Arthur: I never wanted to come to this stupid place anyway, my Nazi dad forced me here because YOU tattled on me, and you're nothing but a little brat.

(DW runs to her room crying, while David storms into his room.)

David: Arthur Timothy Read?!

Arthur: Dad. what are you doing here?

David: Seriously, what has gotten into you these days? Sneaking out to a PG-13 movie, and now you're bullying your sister? You've defied this family for the last time.

Arthur: Well, since you decided you could control EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF MY SUMMER...

David: Please, am I really doing this for myself? DW wanted to come here, and we're letting her do that And it's time you showed her respect.

Arthur: I'm not a toddler, you can't keep telling me what to do!

David: My house, my rules. For the rest of this trip we are doing everything together as a family, you included.

Arhur: You can't make me...

David: And when we get home, you are grounded for the rest of the summer. That means no TV, no friends, no nothing.

Arthur: DAD!!!!

David Not another word, you're grounded and that's final!! Now, go to DW's room and apologize to her. (walks out)

Arthur: Ughh... I HATE YOU!!! I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE SISTERS AND THAT YOU AND MOM NEVER EVEN MET!!!
