Arthur, Season 3 (1998-99)

D.W.:
Arthur, NOOOOO!!

Arthur:
Hey! Mom, D.W. swiped my chip!

Buster:
Wait! This is all wrong! Try it again, pal!

Jane:
After I specifically told you not to. I'm disappointed in you, Arthur. Very disappointed.

Mr. Pryce-Jones:
Quick, lads and lasses! V = u + a t. Now!!! [The Lakewood students fall in the mud. Lakewood Students moans. Mr. Pryce-Jones comes up to Mr. Ratburn.] I see they don't know Newton's formula for constant acceleration yet. The clocks are ticking, Ratburn.

Arthur:
So, what did you think?

Buster:
Pretty good for just two guys in a cardboard TV, huh?

D.W.:
It was okay for the basement, but it would never work on real TV. [the end title appears] By the way, who's Dewey?

Arthur:
That's NOT how nice animals play!

Jane:
Stop that, Arthur!

Arthur:
What did you I do?!

Arthur:
D.W., did you forget that your birthday's today?

D.W.:
No. How could I forget about my own birthday? Now leave me peace!

Arthur:
Aah! How could D.W. not be excited about her birthday?

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!

D.W.:
Ooh! Look what I found!

Arthur:
Stop looking like that! You can't read!

D.W.:
I don't have to read to know what this is.

Arthur:
It's a note from Francine.

D.W.:
I knew it! Arthur has a girlfriend! Arthur has a girlfriend! "Dear Arthur, I love you."

Arthur:
It says "Arthur, don't forget to bring your baseball mitt to school on Monday. Francine."

D.W.:
Arthur and Francine! Arthur loves Francine!

Arthur:
I'll take care of this stuff. You go clean up from under the bed.

D.W.:
If you don't love Francine, then why is your face all red? That just proves you really love her! Arthur loves Francine!

Arthur:
MOM!

Mr. Read:
I'll take care of it. Look, Arthur, it's very simple: the less time you spend fighting with D.W., the faster you'll get to the park, right?

Arthur:
But she keeps bothering me!

D.W.:
Who, me?

Mr. Read:
Look, if you both work as fast as you can and talk less, you'll be done in no time.

Arthur:
I will if she will.

Mr. Read:
There. Now, why not see how fast you can go?

Mr. Read:
The important thing is to really try to work together. It's the only way this will work!

Arthur:
How can we work together when she won't let me put things away?!

D.W.:
Can I say something?

Mrs. Read:
Arthur, D.W. helped you clean your room, so now it's up to you to return the favor.

D.W.:
I have something to say!

Arthur:
But I'm missing Happy-Crazy-Whatever-It-Is Day!

Mr. Read:
That's not D.W.'s fault! If you'd cleaned your room when you were supposed to, Arthur, you wouldn't have this problem!

Francine:
Maybe you didn't get it. (sings) ♪ Oh, the weather outside is crummy-- ♪

Buster Baxter:
Stop singing!
