Hey!

ARTHUR:
Hey, D.W.

Hey!

Whoa!

( crash )

I'm the kind of boy
who should have a dog.

A dog can be very helpful.

( crying )

Oh, no!

How will Kate get down?

Save Kate, boy.

( barks )

Ah...

What would we have done
if you didn't have a dog?

But I never expected this.

( snarling )

( barking )

Hi.

( humming )

( in singsong voice ):
Arthur wants a dog...

Don't say anything, D.W.

I haven't asked Mom and Dad.

You can trust me, Arthur.

So what's new?

Arthur wants a puppy.

D.W.!

A puppy is a big responsibility.

I would feed and walk it

and play
with it.

We'll think
about it.

That means no.

What about
our new carpet?

Mom's saying
she doesn't want

to have a puppy tree
on the new carpet?

Ugh... whoa...

Just felt like dancing.

♪ La, la, la, la, la. ♪

DAD:
Arthur

you may have
a puppy

if you can take
care of it.

Yes!

My own puppy!

Thanks!

First, show us
you're responsible.

Huh?

How can I ever prove

that I'm responsible?

Get a job.

then you can pay back

my seven
dollars.

A job?

What kind of job
can I get?

You could work for my dad.

He needs a car salesman.

Hmm.

Hmm.

What kind
of engine is this?

I don't know.

I've never been
able to see it.

Gee, Muffy, I don't think so.

Why not get a job
at Joe's Junkyard

crushing old cars?

Do something
you like.

That gives me
an idea!

If I can take care of
other people's pets

I can take care
of my own.

"Arthur's Pet Business."

"Call Arthur Read."

I'll take these.

I've got the rest.

Whoa... ah... oh!

"Arthur's Pet Business."

We're putting
up signs

for my business.

We could give some
to people we know.

Great!

Hmm.

My, what a cute baby.

Hello.

Arthur's Pet Business.

I'm Arthur.

Arthur's Pet Business.

I'm Arthur.

MOM:
Arthur?

Time for bed.

Mom!

Just ten more minutes?

Arthur...

( phone rings )

Hello?

Arthur's Pet Business.

May I help you?

Dad! Dad!

I got my first
customer!

Congratulations.

Who is it?

I'm going to watch
Mrs. Wood's dog

and earn ten dollars.

isn't that the dog

the mailman
calls "Jaws"?

Nasty little Perky?

( snarling )

WOMAN:
Come in.

Oh, don't mind Perky.

She hasn't
been herself lately.

( growling )

I have
two lists:

This is Perky's
daily schedule

and this is the list
of all the things

Perky does not like.

I'll be back
next Sunday

sweetie furry-facey
poopy baby.

I'll take
good care of her.

( growling )

We'll be the best of friends.

( snarling )

( timer rings )

Time for brushing.

( growling )

ARTHUR:
... ...

... ...

One hundred.

See, she's happy.

( snarling )

( timer rings )

ARTHUR:
One tablespoon
of chicken

one-quarter tablespoon
of liver...

( growling )

the very exact middle
of a cheeseburger

no pickle,
and a cherry on top.

( snarling )

( sniffing )

What's wrong?

I followed the instructions.

Oh, no, I forgot the parsley.

( evil cackle )

MAN ( on television ):
We've got him.

This is the
end of you,
Bionic Bunny.

( cackles )

( timer rings )

( groans )

( humming )

( timer rings )

Not now!

( snarling )

Now what's wrong?

( sighs )

Are you sure
you want a dog?

If I can handle Perky,
I can handle any pet.

Prunella is here-- she wants you
to take care of her ant farm.

Tuesday night's

their barn dance.

Here's their music.

Hmm.

Arthur, I think
your ads worked.

( snarling )

( animals making noise )

Arthur...

don't worry, Dad.

I'll work out
all their schedules... somehow.

( snake hissing )

( shrieking )

Help!

D.W.?

Uh-oh.

Oh, no!

The ant farm!

No! Kate!

Don't!

( bawling )

( growling )

( chirping wildly )

( gasps )

Oh, no!

Hey, wait!

Hey, where are you going?

( screeching )

Huh?

Come here!

Arthur!

Arthur...

Arthur...

( frog croaks )

Okay, you, stay down here.

( snake hissing )

( sighs )

( timer rings )

Time to walk Perky.

D.W., how would you
like to be my assistant?

I'll pay you
two dollars.

Arthur, you know I'd do
anything for you for money.

Let's say three dollars a week.

Deal!

Good morning.

What did you do to "Jaws"?

I've been taking
good care of her.

I keep her
on schedule.

I've never seen
her angry like this.

I did everything right.

( snarling ferociously )

I did do everything right.

( growling )

But now you're
even more unfriendly.

Maybe I'm just not a dog person.

When Mrs. Wood picks
you up tomorrow

she'll tell everyone
I wrecked her dog.

D.W.:
I bet you're
happy today.

Why?

You get rid of Perky

and earn ten dollars.

But I found out
I can never have a puppy.

I wreck dogs.

Mrs. Wood called.

She's on her way.

( groans )

I'll go get Perky.

Has anybody
seen Perky?

She's not in the living room.

I didn't hear
her growl

all morning.

Neither did I.

Perky, Perky!

Come here, Perky!

She's not
downstairs.

She's not
outside.

You're in trouble now.

I wreck dogs and lose them.

Now I know I should
never have a dog.

( doorbell rings )

MOM:
Mrs. Wood.

Please, come in.

Hi, Mrs. Wood.

Guess what?

Arthur lost Perky.

What? Perky!

My helpless
little baby's

out in the world alone
and unprotected?

I feel sorry
for the world.

ARTHUR:
Hey, everybody,
come here!

Over here!

Perky had puppies!

Ooh...

WOOD:
Look how comfortable

you made her.

How can I
ever thank you?

A reward would be nice.

Shh... D.W.!

Here, this is
the money I owe you.

And how would you like
a puppy as a reward?

A puppy?

DAD:
Of course

you earned it.

My own puppy!

I can't
believe it!

What should I name him?

Ten dollars.

That's weird.

Why would I name it that?

That's what you owe me...

seven dollars plus three
for being an assistant.

That comes to ten dollars.

KIDS:
And now...

Hi.

Our company name
is Pet Co. Pet's.

Company name,
Pet Palace.

GIRL:
We're making up

our own pet businesses.

We started a business.

We made our
own companies.

We have to present
our businesses.

( giggling )

The company name
is Pet Palace.

We had to come up with a logo...

and what the name is.

What pets we will sell.

Dragons,
unicorns,
puppies...

guinea pig,
hamster...

snakes with wings...

lobsters...

dinosaurs...

tarantulas...

lions, squirrels...

and rhinoceroses.

Then you had to do
a song at the end.

♪ Pets, pets, pets, pets ♪

♪ Would you like a little dog? ♪

You have to be responsible.

It's a big job.

There's a new
pet store.

Let's go see it.

You got to put
a good price.

You can't put a penny
for a exotic parrot.

How much is
this baby dinosaur?

It's $ ... thank you.

And make sure
you satisfy everybody.

We forgot
to get food.

I'll give you it free.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

♪ Come down to pet palace ♪

♪ We have everything for sale. ♪

ALL:
Go to Pet Paradise or else.

I mean it.

And now...

( D.W. humming )

( gasps )

Mom!

D.W.'s drawing
in my book!

Mom, stop her!

They forgot
the colors

so I'm putting
them in.

They're supposed
to be that way!

Sometimes I imagine
how great life would be

if D.W. was different.

Like if she were
more like The Brain.

I'll do that homework for you.

All done--
let's play ball.

( Arthur laughs )

ARTHUR:
Or more like the Bionic Bunny.

Ta-dah!

I'll take you to get air!

Put your
helmet on.

I'd even like her better
if she were more like a donkey.

Hee-haw, hee-haw!

Giddyap, D.W.!

Go, go!

Hee-haw!

Boy, I wish
I had a sister

who was a donkey like D.W.

Hee-haw!

Any change would be
an improvement.

( glass breaks )

ANNOUNCER:
More annoying
than a mosquito...

Ta-dah!

( giggling )

( laughing )

( big sigh )

Something wrong, honey?

I'm bored.

None of my friends can play.

Why don't you go play with D.W.?

( sighs )

Huh?

I'm not

that
desperate.

Well, only if she promises

not to be annoying.

I won't do anything
that's annoying.

If I'm even a little, teeny
eenie-weeniest bit annoying

tell me and I'll stop.

Okay, okay!

( whispers ):
Please notice

I'm not being annoying.

Bottom of the ninth.

Arthur Read is one out away
from a perfect game.

( sneezing
noise )

Huh? What are
you doing?

It's Princess Sneeze-and-Wet's
turn at bat.

N-o! No!

There are no babies
in baseball.

What if they were
really good?

This is America.

Everybody gets an equal chance.

Why do I play with you?

Go play
with Kate.

You're a baby.

Am not!

You act
like it.

Do not!

Can Kate do this?

( grunting )

Whoa...

( grunts )

Don't change

that channel!

I have to watch Bionic Bunny.

It's the back-to-back
three-part episode.

( both growl )

He travels
through time

to fight the...

( growling )

giant prehistoric
mechanical cave...

( grunts )

Bunny-saurus.

Mary Moo Cow

was just
explaining
green.

MOM:
Excuse me--

I'm on the phone.

Arthur's stopping me

from watching
educational TV.

It's time for...

I'll never
understand green.

Who got there first?

( sighs )

( Arthur moans )

You don't like doing
things with me.

You like boring things.

I wish you liked
to do things

more like me.

Then you'd want to play with me?

Sure.

I've got your favorite, D.W.--

banana and
peanut butter.

Yum!

I want watermelon!

I want watermelon,
too!

Want to go on
the swings, D.W.?

Yeah!

Want to play catch,
Dad?

I do, I do!

( dog barks )

( grunts )

Oops.

( groans )

TV ANNOUNCER:
The Bionic Bunny Show!

created by a combination
of super-science

and radical animal husbandry
to fight crime

Bionic Bunny hops into action
for goodness' sake.

BUNNY:
The room's filling
with water.

I'll drown
unless I drink it all.

Are you
watching that?

Uh-huh.

Not Mary Moo Cow?

That's a
kiddy show.

Bo-ring.

( water splashing on TV )

( gasps )

( gasps )

( laughs )

( laughs )

That was great!

That was great!

Aren't you going
to watch

Foreign Metallic
Spelunking Squad?

Okay-- you want some ice cream?

Yeah!

I hope you two aren't fighting
over the TV.

No, D.W.'s finally
got good taste.

I'm going
to try on

my new
clothes.

( dog barks )

D.W.:
Do you like
them, Arthur?

I picked them out myself.

Don't you already have
clothes like that?

No.

They look
familiar.

I call that
my built-in escape claws.

( laughs )

( laughs )

Do you even know

what that
means?

Of course.

( sighs )

( sighs )

( boys scream )

Stop doing
everything
I do.

We just happen to be interested
in the same things.

Hmm...

Hi, guys.

I'll go get my bike.

Hi, guys.

I'll go get my bike.

Am I seeing double?

Was that
Arthur's sister?

Or some
frightening

scientific
experiment

gone horribly
wrong?

BUSTER:
Arthur, what's
with D.W.?

ARTHUR:
She has to
come with me.

Mom and Dad are shopping.

No, I meant the...

are those my old glasses?

No, I punched the lenses out of

my sunglasses.

Why is D.W. dressed
like you?

I don't know.

She's driving
me crazy.

BUSTER:
Last one to the Sugar Bowl

is a henway.

Arthur, wait for me!

You're last,
Arthur.

You're a henway.

What's a henway?

About five pounds.

( all laugh )

Wait for me!

We're going to get a table.

Hi, Arthur.

Hi, Arthur.

Huh?

Oh,
there's

two of you.

Want a baby seat?

That would be
a thoughtful thing to ask...

if there was a baby here!

You cut it out, D.W.

You just
look weird.

You can't
fool me, Arthur.

There aren't two of you--
who's this?

I'm Arthur.

That's my sister.

( laughs )

You look like

a ring-tailed
dufus.

I've been trying
to tell her that.

Those are the goofiest
clothes and shoes

and glasses I ever saw.

( laughing )

Hey...

Mom, Dad, can we move and not
tell D.W. where we're going?

No.

Why?

She's driving me crazy!

It's like having a twin
or an extra shadow

or a weird sister
who follows me.

Yesterday I heard
the kids talking...

don't tell Arthur

everyone's invited
to my house after
school to swim.

Why not tell Arthur?

His sister

Arthur junior,
will tag along.

Maybe you should
tell D.W.

how you feel.

Me? Why can't you?

This is between
you two.

I guess you're right.

Want to
come over

and watch Vegetables
Sing the ABC's?

It's the sequel to Freddie Fruit
Counts By Twos.

No, that's
for babies.

It's not!

They sing them
backwards, too!

♪ r-q-z-y-o-l-p! ♪
♪ z-z-g-y-w-p! ♪

♪ z-z-g-y-w-t-p! ♪
♪ r-q-z-y-o-l-p! ♪

No, I'm playing soccer
with Arthur.

Sounds boring.

Yeah...

I-I mean, no,
it's grown-up.

Yuck!

Yuck!

ARTHUR:
D.W.

you don't even like
the things I do.

Why don't you
give us both a break

and stop copying me?

you think I should do
the things I like?

Yes, exactly!

Instead of
the interesting
things you like?

Okay, okay, I'm sorry I said
everything you like is boring.

You'll still play
with me sometimes?

Sure.

Finally, I can change
these clothes!

And Mom said

I can watch Mary Moo Cow
every day

for as many days as you
watched Bionic Bunny.

Why do I feel
like I got tricked?
