Arthur, Season 3 (1998-99)

D.W.:
I'm drowning! Help me!

Mrs. Read:
Toys stay out of the cereal, please.

Arthur:
I'm going to Happy-Crazy-Wow Day with Buster!

Mrs. Read:
Arthur, you're not going anywhere until you clean your room!

Arthur:
But I just told Buster and I promised I'd meet him!

Mrs. Read:
Then you will have to call him back and tell him you will meet him later. You've put this off long enough now. D.W., as soon as you've finished eating, I want you to work on your room too. It's as messy as your brother's.

Arthur:
But that'll take forever! I'll miss Happy-Crazy-Wow Day!

Mr. Read:
I have an idea! When I was little and my brother and I had chores to do, we had a saying, many hands make light work.

Mrs. Read:
Honey, I'm not...

Mr. Read:
Hear me out on this. In other words, the more hands you had, the easier the work became.

Arthur:
It does sound kind of cool.

Mr. Read:
That's the spirit! It'll go more than twice as fast. Trust me. So why don't you start on Arthur's room first? Whoa, whoa, whoa, time out! Do me a favor and just try it. I think you'll be surprised at how well it works.

Arthur:
Let's do this quick. I'm going to be late.

D.W.:
Ewww!
