Hey!

ARTHUR:
Hey, D.W.

Hey!

Whoa!

( crashing )

I know this is where
Arthur usually talks

but I think there's some things
you need to know about...

Arthur-- the worst big brother
in the whole world.

When we ride bikes, he always
goes too fast on purpose.

If you can't keep up,
you should stay home!

I could go faster
if I were as big as he is.

But I'd have to eat
as much as he does.

( growling )

Tasty.

( gasps )

And he's so mean.

Mom!

D.W.'s in my room
without my permission!

MOM:
D.W.!

That sign can't stop me
because I can't read!

I don't know what...

I don't know what to do
about him yet

But I'll figure out something.

Yuck!

Arthur?

Shh!

D.W.:
I figure you guys

know how to deal with brothers.

I know how to teach

your big, rotten
brother a lesson.

He plays the
piano, right?

You wait until
he grows up

and becomes
a famous piano player...

Crowd ( yelling ):
Arthur! Arthur!

Arthur, sign
my piano, please?

( applause )

When he has
a concert...

D.W.:
I know,
I don't show up.

No, you
show up late.

D.W.:
Excuse me, pardon me,
excuse me.

Pardon me, pardon me.

Excuse me.

And then...

you eat
potato chips!

( crunching )

( groans )

Who wants to wait

until he grows up?

D.W., here's a good idea.

( robotlike ):
Am I making you
happy, my queen?

Great, huh?

Why would he do that?

Oh, I forgot
that part.

Duh!

Am I making you
happy, my queen?

D.W., you get
secret hypnotic powers

and make Arthur your
obedient hypno-brother!

I enjoy
doing your chores.

I enjoy doing your chores.

Of course you do.

It takes hundreds of years

To learn hypnotiz-
izing, Noodle-Brain?

It's a bad idea.

come up with your
own ideas, D.W., dimwit.

Don't call me
names, goopy.

Ha, goopy!
You're goopy!

You look
just like me.

If I'm goopy,
so are you.

( laughing )

Boy, D.W., you're the best
at name calling.

Call your brother
names like that

He'll surrender
in no time!

( humming )

I can't see.

Move your head.

You're not the boss
of me, Mr. Goopy.

Please move your big, enormous,
gopher-looking head.

At least my head doesn't
look like a football!

No, your head
looks like

A big meatloaf
with raisins.

We'll be
back at : .

The kids shouldn't
need anything.

Mom! Arthur said
my face looks like
a watermelon!

She started it.

I can
handle it.

Have a
good time.

Be good, kids.

ARTHUR:
She started it.

I have a lot of homework,
so you two go play quietly

in different rooms.

I dibs my room!

I don't want to go to
your stupid room anyway.

Clammy clam face!

Turtle breath!

I don't have
turtle breath-- smell!

What's going on?

He called me
turtle-breath!

Why are you
in her room?

She took
my red crayon.

I had to.

It's a castle book
with a lot of brick.

D.W., give him
his crayon.

Arthur, go back
to the den.

This isn't working

because Arthur knows
more words than me.

Katherine,
you're so smart.

What's another word
for "boring"?

For words that
mean the same thing

you look
in the thesaurus.

I'll look
it up for you.

You are tedious.

( gasps )

Huh?

I did it!

I win, yahoo.

Tedious, tedious...

Hey!

Do you know
another word
for "annoying"?

Does the "saurus" have

A word for eating
too much cake?

You are really
working on your
vocabulary!

You are distended
from eating cake.

Plus you are both
adipose and corpulent.

You are...

"vapid."

If I'm vapid, you're
heinous and atrocious.

You don't even know
what that means.

At least my initials
aren't for "dim wit."

Ha! Tommy came up
with that and he's my age!

You lose!

I know what you are.

You want to know
what you really are?

You're such a Dora Winifred

Dora Winifred!
Stop it!

Stop it!
Dora Winifred!

D.W.:
Make him stop!

All right, bedtime!

( whining )

( chuckling )

Arthur thinks
he's so great.

Go to sleep, D.W.

I'm not going
to let him beat me.

This place looks almost perfect.

( cheery music playing )

It is perfect!

I could be happy here forever!

( thunder )

( yells )

( taunting ):
Dora Winifred!

Dora Winifred!

Stop, you're ruining everything!

( crying )

( gasps )

Walter, my deer!

Don't cry, D.W.

You can defeat
the evil Arthur.

Ask the great thesaurus.

Oh, Walter, thank you!

( blows nose )

( continues
blowing nose )

So where is
the "saurus"?

He dwells beyond the woods.

That's a long way to go.

Do you have a picture
of the place?

You didn't want to watch me
walk through the woods?

That would be boring.

Tommy?

Timmy?

We were turned to stone

by the insults
of the evil ARTHUR.

Really?

You think I'm lying?

Bummer.

You're telling me--

my nose itches.

Oh, thank you.

D.W., look out!

He'll turn you
to stone.

Get away!

ARTHUR:
Dora Winifred!

( panting )

Where's the "saurus"?

The reference section,
follow me.

This is the
history section.

science and
technology section...

( roars )

Wow, I never knew all this stuff
was in the library.

Here we are.

( heavy footsteps approaching )

Are you
the "saurus"?

It's one word, "thesaurus,"
the thesaurus.

Sheesh!

I don't even know how to read.

I'd love to hear
your whole life story

But I got a lot of words
to organize.

I need the perfect word
for Arthur.

First you must prove
yourself worthy.

( groans ):
Oh, nothing's
ever easy.

Name three words for "goofy."

Silly... foolish...
and... Arthur.

That's right!

Now I will
fulfill your wish.

The perfect name
to call Arthur is...

( whispering )

( taunting ):
Oh, Arthur!

( whispering )

( screaming )

I'm melting!

I'm melting!

( screaming )

Nobody told me you'd melt!

Arthur!

Calling people names
can be dangerous
to their health.

What can I do?

What can I do?!

Somebody help me!

Arthur?

Arthur?

MOM:
D.W., wake up.

Mommy?

I'm sorry!

I didn't know!

You were having
a bad dream.

Here, have a glass of water.

( screaming )

Arthur!

What?

I'm sorry
I called you names.

Well...
I'm sorry, too.

I had this dream

and the Tibbles,
and you were in it, Arthur

and you were
in it, too.

Oh, sheesh!

( gasps )

Gary.

KIDS:
Don't call names

Because kids have feelings, too.

KIDS:
And now...

sharing is a good thing.

It always makes people happy.

Pal, too.

He doesn't care
what you're sharing.

He'll take anything.

( Pal growling and barking )

And I mean anything.

Pal, let go!

Shoes are not to eat!

Now, D.W.

because she's my sister

I have to share with her
all the time.

If you think that's easy...

D.W.:
Hey!

Mom!

Arthur, you're not
supposed to take

Your sister's things.

But, Mom, I was sharing!

Yee-ha!

( wind blowing )

Come on, Brain

knock it out of there.

I got it...

I...( coughs )

Throw it home!
Throw it home!

BINKY:
I got you!

Ha! You're out.

( giggles with
embarrassment )

This is ridiculous.

It's too dusty.

We're going to my
house to watch TV.

Want to come?

Really?

Hurry so we won't miss

Miranda, the magic princess.

( all groan )

I'm going to
the sugar bowl instead.

Me, too!
Me, too!

Pop fly, Arthur!

Uh-oh.

Found it!

Oh, never mind.

It's just a rock.

Wow!

What is it,
Arthur?

It's a key.

I found a key.

I wonder what it opens.

It looks kind of new.

Hey, maybe it's to
the new science museum.

Cool!

( computer beeping )

Supercool!

( grunts )

Somebody's probably
looking for this.

It might be...

the key to the city!

( horns blaring )

Don't worry, Mayor Hirsch,
I'm on my way.

( quacking )

Don't worry, ducks.

I'm here.

I've got the key!

Mr. Mayor!

Who are you?

What do you want?

I have...

The key to the city, sir.

Thank goodness.

( computer whirring )

( people cheering )

( quacking )

( laughs sheepishly )

Let me see that.

Hey, it's got teeth
on both sides--

Like a car key.

( engine roaring )

( tires squealing )

Binky Barnes?

What a car!

( engine races )

( Binky laughs mockingly )

ARTHUR:
Well, I hope it doesn't
go to a car.

I don't know how to drive.

What do
you mean you?

I get the car.

I thought of it.

But I found the key.

But you wouldn't have
found that key

If I hadn't thrown
the ball to you.

Let's think about
this logically.

We wouldn't have
gone by that spot

If I hadn't said to
go to the sugar bowl.

So, the key
is mine.

I don't think so.

Wait.

We'll just have
to share the key.

Even if it's to a car?

Whatever it is.

We share it " - - ."

Good idea.

Let's try
some cars first.

my idea's better.

It doesn't matter.

The key can only fit
one thing anyway.

If it worked for
more than one thing

it wouldn't be
much of a key.

The museum
is nearby.

Let's try
there first.

Oh, well!

It's less scary to go
when it's open anyway.

Let's give it back
to the mayor.

That's where it belongs.

MAYOR:
As a matter
of fact

We did lose the key
to the city.

See?

But a nice young boy
found it just last week

and returned it.

( Arthur groans )

That means it's
got to be a car.

I guess a car
would be okay.

We'd get to go
wherever we wanted.

Remember,
it's - - .

That means each of us
can have the car

For two days a week.

I should get
it on Sunday.

It was my idea.

We have a lot of time.

We can't drive until we're .

That's right.

That means I'll get
the car all to myself
for a whole year

Before you guys
can drive.

( whispering )

That's okay, Binky

But you'll
have to drive us

Wherever we
want to go.

( Arthur and Brain laughing )

Let's go through
the drive-in again.

Okay, but don't get ice cream
on the upholstery.

I spent all day
cleaning up after you guys...

( window cuts off
Binky's voice )

( laughing )

Hold on.

I got a better idea.

Hey, buddy...

Fill her up.

Yes, sir.

BINKY:
And you, Einstein.

Check the oil.

And then both of you can
spit shine those hubcaps.

( laughs raucously )

It's not my fault
that you guys are younger.

Why should I drive
you around?

If that's the way it is

Then I want
my Bionic Bunny video back

I loaned you.

Fine-- take it.

I've already seen it.

And I want my C.D. back,
The CONCERTOS.

Fine.

And I want all my
stuff back, too.

Fine!
Fine!

ARTHUR:
Here's the
last thing--

Your stupid comic book.

I hope
you're happy.

Oh, I am.

BRAIN:
It's getting late.

I'm going home.

Whoa!

Where do you think
you're going with that key?

I'll put it
in my safe.

I don't think so.

I don't want you taking my car.

All right,
all right,
I'll keep it.

Yeah, right.

Think again,
Arthur.

I really think
I should...

If none of us
can take it home

What are we
going to do?

If it's - - ,
nobody can take it home.

Too bad we didn't find
three keys in the grass.

I know, there's only
one place to put it.

We'll just cover it
with some dirt

And it'll be here tomorrow.

Good thinking,
Brain.

Okay, see you guys
tomorrow.

Bye.
Bye.

( yelling and arguing )

It's mine!

Finders keepers.

Give me that key!

Whoa!

Come back here!

Ugh!
Ow!

Sorry, Mr. Morris.

That's okay, Arthur.

It's nice you're
having fun.

All right,
give it back.

Give what back, Alan?

Not you, Mr. Morris.

Arthur.

Wait, I've got an idea.

What if we
just give it

To Mr. Morris
to keep?

He can guard
it for us.

Give Mr. Morris
what to keep?

This key--
I found it and...

I found it!

It was my ball.

I'm one who
can drive first.

( all shouting )

Morris:
Jumping
Jehoshaphat!

Where did you
find this?

I've been looking
for this key.

You know what
it goes to?

To a car,
right?

Not quite.

This is where
we found it.

Makes sense,
because here's what it goes to.

It's the key to the sprinklers
for the ball field.

Maybe you noticed

it was getting
dusty.

Now we'll have that
grass green in no time.

Everybody's
going to be glad

You boys
found this key.

That was pretty stupid--

Fighting over a
dumb sprinkler key.

You can have that
C.D. back again,
if you want.

Really? Thanks.

It's a good thing that
key didn't fit a car.

We would have been
fighting for years.

Hey! Look what I found!

Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.

My ball.

Our ball.

Toss it here!

( yelling in fun )

Throw it
in here, Arthur!

Hi, everyone, it's me, Buster.

If you love the great food
we get to eat in Elwood City,

you won't believe
all the great food

I'm trying on my trip
with my dad.

Mmm... don't you
just want to eat some?

I'm tasting everything

and I'm sending it all back
to my friends in Elwood City

on my very own video postcards.

They're Postcards from Buster.
