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 10:30.
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!

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 "50-50-50."
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 50-50-50.
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 16.
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 50-50-50, 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.
