ARTHUR: Hey, D.W. Hey!

Whoa!

( crashing ) D.W.: Bike helmet?

Check.

Kneepads?

Check.

Bandages?

Check.

Clean clothes?

Check.

Come on, D.W., let's go!

I'll be ready in a minute.

Good-bye.

Sorry I can't take you with me.

It's too dangerous where I'm going.

Ready?

I'm ready if you're ready.

Have fun, girls.

Right.

Right.

( doorbell rings ) ( loud babbling ) ( yells ) ( laughing ) I brought a brand-new game-- tower of cows.

It's never even been opened.

Want to play?

Um, okay.

We can't play that!

We want to play airplane.

( imitating zooming ) Oh, yeah I forgot.

Airplane's the funnest.

( both imitating zooming ) I'm glad we came prepared.

I don't think we'll ever be prepared enough for the Tibbles.

( zooming continues ) Oh, no!

I can't see anything.

The clouds are too thick.

You'll have to make a crash landing.

I can't stop in time.

I'll hit those two gasoline tanks.

That's you.

( zooming ) ( girls scream ) BOY: Crash!

( laughing ) BOY: That was a great crash, guys.

( groaning ) No, it wasn't.

They didn't explode!

Oh, yeah, you were supposed to explode.

Like this: "Kabloom!"

I can explode better than that.

( inhales deeply ) Kabloom!

I can explode loudest.

Ka-ba-bloom!

Can we play Emily's quiet game now?

Sure.

Sure.

EMILY: Steady...

Steady... Hey, this is a fun game.

I bet I have the loudest cow.

Moo!

Moo!

BOTH: Yeah!

( groans ) D.W.: You know, Tommy Tibble's okay but Timmy always makes him get crazy.

If only Tommy was the only Tibble.

Oh, look!

A big red star!

Starlight, star bright first star I see tonight I wish I may, I wish I might Have the wish I wish... all right?

I wish I could play with Tommy without Timmy being around.

( motor whirring ) ( groans ) I wished on a helicopter.

Rats!

La, la, la, la.... Don't eat my crayon.

( chatter continues ) Look!

Tommy... without Timmy.

Mrs. Morgan?

Timmy can't come to school today.

He's sick.

Thank you, Tommy.

Have a seat.

Do you realize what this means?

The wish I made on a wishbone last night came true.

Oh, I thought it meant you could wish on a helicopter.

Hey, everybody in school made you this card.

Let's play catch.

Don't you want to catch?

Okay, let's play Rocky Road.

Hang on, this is one rocky road.

( burps ) You're doing it wrong.

Come on, play right.

Excuse me, Tommy But Timmy needs his rest.

Huh?

( groans ) D.W.: You did it!

You won, Tommy!

This is a fun game when you don't knock it all down.

Isn't it?

I feel safe taking off my helmet.

We haven't gotten knocked down all afternoon.

And no one screamed in our ears.

This is great!

Cupcake break!

That one should be for Timmy.

Timmy's asleep.

He wouldn't want to eat a cupcake now, dear.

But he's going to want to eat it later.

( snoring ) ( gasps ) ( snoring ) I thought the window was open!

( groans ) ( splat ) ( groans ) He's so sad that Timmy's not here.

Yeah.

Let's take Tommy somewhere else so he'll forget about it.

( children laughing ) Whoa!

This is pretty fun, right, Tommy?

It's okay.

It would be better if Timmy was here.

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Oh, maybe ice cream would cheer him up.

Aaah!

Timmy!

What?

Oh, it's only me.

Nothing works.

The only thing that can make him happy is Timmy And we're just not Timmy.

But maybe we could be.

Huh?

Hey, Tommy, bet I could open my mouth wider than yours.

Can not.

Can, too.

Wow, that's pretty wide.

But I bet I can yell louder than you.

No way!

( yelling ) ( yells ) ( splat ) ( Emily yells ) Good one.

I dropped my cone!

D.W.: 15... 16... 17... My arm is tired.

I quit.

You can't quit.

Timmy and I were trying to break a world's record.

We have to do a million of these.

Look, we don't have to both be Timmys.

You're better at it than me.

Why don't you do it?

No way, sister!

What if we take turns?

D.W., you're a genius.

You Tibble now, I'll Tibble tomorrow.

Deal!

Tommy... What else do you play with Timmy?

Biplane-- It's Timmy's favorite game.

It's twice as better as plain plane.

( imitating zooming ) TOMMY: Enemy sighted at 12:00.

Faster, copilot, faster.

Hey, what's happening?

We're losing height.

Mayday!

Arbor Day!

Birthday!

Too... heavy.

( groaning ) This is fun.

You guys are really fun!

Thank you for flying D.W.A.

( groans ) Now everybody off the plane.

Moo!

Moo!

Yeah!

( panting ) Whoo-hoo!

All right!

Wow, Yeah!

You'll have to get half an hour of practice in tonight because your recital's coming up next Saturday.

You remember last year.

Ow!

I can yell louder than that.

( yells ): Ow!

Oh!

I'm sorry.

It was my turn to be a Tibble today.

I Tibbled there, accidentally.

( laughing ) Whee!

( panting and groaning ) ( imitating zooming ) Ahh!

( laughing ) ( screams ) ( laughing ) ( yelling ) ( yelling ) Yee-ha!

Giddy-up!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Yip, yip, yip-ee-yi!

Yoo-hoo!

( groaning ) ( panting ) I'm losing my voice.

I've been running the last thousand billion hours and this scarf is itchy.

I can't be a Tibble for one more minute.

I quit.

But you were helping Tommy feel better.

I want to help Tommy, but it's just too hard.

That's what being a good friend is all about-- helping someone even when it isn't easy.

Yeah, you're right.

But it's too hard.

I'm quitting.

Well, if you're quitting, I'm quitting.

I'm quitting, I am.

I am quitting.

As soon as he opens that door, I'm saying "Tommy, I can't be a Tibble anymore.

I quit."

Me, too.

Why do I feel so rotten?

Tommy's going to be really upset.

Well, we have to consider our health.

We're just not Tibbles.

It's like they're a completely different animal.

I'm quitting.

Me, too.

Okay.

Who cares what he thinks.

We quit.

( doorbell rings ) Tommy, Emily and I have decided...

I'm not Tommy, I'm Timmy.

BOTH: You're better?

Yeah, and am I glad.

When I was sick, I dreamed cupcakes attacked my room.

Come on in!

Tommy said you were so nice when I was sick.

You played our games.

You guys are the absolutely best friends that ever lived.

He said that without you guys he would have just cried all the time.

I feel so rotten for wanting to quit.

I feel lower than a bug under a brick.

D.W.: I'm sure glad Timmy's better because I could never quit, knowing that.

Hey, where's Tommy?

Oh, he's sick.

He caught it from me.

That's why I'm so happy you're here.

Now I have friends who'll play Biplane And Rocky Road and Ambulance and Screaming Cow.

I'll take the first shift.

Thanks, you're a real friend.

TIMMY: Who wants to be a biplane?

( sighs ) Me... Me.

KIDS: And now...

Twins.

Twins.

Twins.

Twins.

Twins.

Twins.

Twins.

Twins.

Twins.

Twins.

We were born on the same day.

We look alike.

Sometimes we look alike and that means you're identical.

Sometimes it's a boy and a girl.

GIRL: We're fraternal twins.

That means that we're twins, but we're not exactly the same.

There's more twins than you think.

Yeah.

Annamaria... Christina.

And Christina.

The one in orange is Aria.

The one in white is Maya.

Shane... Bryce.

Abby.

Miriam.

That's Marianne!

That's Melissa!

What it's like being a twin is... You have somebody to play with.

And twins always work together.

Yeah, we like to do things together.

GIRLS: ♪ School's too dumb, I want to suck my thumb ♪ ♪ Thumb too dirty, I want to ride a birdie ♪ ♪ Birdie too slow, and that's all I know ♪ ♪ So close our eyes and count to ten ♪ ♪ Whoever messes up starts all over again.

♪ One... two... three... four... five... six... seven... eight... nine... ten.

What's good about being a twin is if you're afraid of the dark, like my sister is you always have somebody to tell you that you have nothing to be afraid of.

We're twins and we love each other and care about each other.

And now... ( rhythmic humming, booming and popping ) What's that noise?

D.W.?

What's that noise?

What's that noise?

Oh, I bet I know what it is.

( noise continues ) ( snoring ) No.

Rats!

I was sure it was the dog's stomach.

( whines ) Mom, it's in the basement!

( making humming, booming and popping noises ) What are you guys doing?

Shh!

It's our new music show.

I'm a video... ( continues sound effects ) And I'm almost over.

That was Buster Jam's "Hey, What's for Dinner?"

Our next video... that wasn't real music.

He was going... ( imitates Buster ) with his mouth.

And that's not a TV and this camera's not on.

That's Dad's old camera-- it doesn't work.

So why are you doing this?

Why not?

Because it's not real.

So what if it's not real?

You can like something even though it's not real.

Try it.

Just pretend and you can see cool videos.

If this is a trick, I'm telling.

No trick.

Here they come-- our big music videos.

ARTHUR: So, what did you think?

Good for two guys in a cardboard TV.

It was okay for the basement.

It would never work on real TV.

By the way, who's Dewey?

Hi, I'm Marc Brown.

I get a lot of letters from you kids asking me what I do when I'm not writing and illustrating the Arthur books.

Well, come on, I'll show you.

The first thing I do every morning is make my bed, and then I go for a walk, and after that I come home and make my favorite breakfast: oatmeal and bananas.

And sometimes I doodle.

It sort of reminds me of Prunella.
