D.W. the Copycat

[D.W. HUMS]

Arthur: [GASPS] MOM!! D.W.'s drawing in my book! Mo-om! Stop her!

D.W.: They forgot the colors, so I'm putting it in.

Arthur: They're suppose 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.

D.W.: I'll do that homework for you. All done. Let's play ball.

Arthur: Or more like the Bionic Bunny.

D.W.: # Te-dah! #   I'll take you to get air! Put your helmet on!

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

D.W.: HEE-HAW!

Arthur: Giddy up, D.W.! GO! GO!

D.W.: HEE-HAW!

Buster: Boy, I wish I had a sister who was a donkey like D.W.

Arthur: ANY change would be an improvement.

[SMASH!]

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I'm bored. None of my friends can play.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jane: Why don't you go play with D.W.?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: [SHE SIGHS]

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: ..HUH?! I'm not THAT desperate! Well...only if she promises not to be annoying.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: I won't do anything that's annoying. If I'm even a little teeny tiny tiny eany-weeniest bit annoying tell me and I'll stop, because I don't wanna be annoying.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: OK. OK!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: (Please notice that I'm not being annoying.)

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: N-O! NO!! There are no babies in baseball!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: What if they were really good? This is America, Arthur. Everybody gets an equal chance.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Why do I even try to play with you? Go play with Kate! You're such a baby!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Am not!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Well, you ACT like it!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Do not! Can Kate do this? Whoa-a-a...!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Don't change that channel!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I have to watch Bionic Bunny. It's the back-to-back special award-winning three-part episode. Where he travels through time to fight the evil...mechanical cave...Bunnysaurus.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Mary Moo-Cow was just explaining green.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jane: Excuse me. I'm on the phone.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Arthur's trying to stop me from watching educational TV.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: It's time for the back-to-back special award-...

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: How I am ever supposed to understand green?

<p class="MsoNormal">Jane: Who got here first?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: [FRUSTRATED SNARLING]

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: YOU don't like doing anything with me any more!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Because you like boring things. I wish you wanted to do interesting things. More like me.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: THEN you'd wanna play with me?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Sure.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: I want watermelon too.

<p class="MsoNormal">David: Wanna go on the swings, D.W.?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: YEAH!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Wanna play catch with us, Dad?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: I do!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Are you gonna watch that?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.:   Uh-huh.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: What about Mary Moo-Cow?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: That's a kiddie show. # Bo-ring! #

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: That was great!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: That was great! Aren't you gonna stay and watch Foreign Metallic Spelunking Squad?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: OK. Do you want some ice cream?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Yeah.

<p class="MsoNormal">Jane: I hope you two aren't fighting over the TV.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: No. D.W.'s finally got good taste.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: I'm gonna try on my new clothes. How do you like them, Arthur? I picked them out myself.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Don't you already HAVE clothes like that?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: No.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: They look familiar...

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Bionic Bunny: I call THAT my built-in escape CLAWS!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Hi, guys! I'll go get my bike.

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Am I seeing double?

<p class="MsoNormal">Francine: Was that Arthur's sister?

<p class="MsoNormal">Brain: Or a frightening scientific experiment gone horribly wrong.

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Arthur, what's with D.W.?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: She has to come with me. Mom and Dad are shopping.

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: No, I meant the... (mimics D.W. wearing glasses)

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Are those my old glasses?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: No. I punched the lenses out of my sunglasses.

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Why is D.W. dressed like you?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I don't know. She's driving me crazy.

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Last to the Sugar Bowl is a henway!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Arthur, wait for me!

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: You're last, Arthur! You're a henway.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: What's a henway?

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: About five pounds.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Wait for me!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: We're going to get a table.

<p class="MsoNormal">Binky: Hi, Arthur! Hi, Arthur. ..Huh?! Oh, there's TWO of you!

<p class="MsoNormal">Sugar Bowl Waitress: Do you want a baby seat?

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: THAT would be a thoughtful thing to ask...(Imitating Arthur) IF THERE WAS A BABY HERE!!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I wish you'd cut it out, D.W. You just look weird.

<p class="MsoNormal">Binky: You can't fool me, Arthur. There can't be TWO of you! ..Who's this?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I'M Arthur. THAT's my sister!

<p class="MsoNormal">Binky: You look like a ring-tailed doofus!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: I've been trying to tell her that.

<p class="MsoNormal">Binky: Those are the goofiest clothes and shoes and glasses I ever saw!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Hey!

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Mom, Dad, can we move and not tell D.W. where we're going?

<p class="MsoNormal">David: No. Why?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: She's driving me crazy. It's like having a twin or an extra shadow or a really weird little sister who follows me everywhere. Yesterday, I heard the kids talking...

<p class="MsoNormal">Muffy: Don't tell Arthur. Everyone's invited to my house to swim.

<p class="MsoNormal">Buster: Why NOT tell Arthur?

<p class="MsoNormal">Francine: Because his sister, Arthur Jr. will tag along.

<p class="MsoNormal">David: Maybe you should tell D.W. how you feel.

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Me? Why can't YOU?

<p class="MsoNormal">Jane: This is between the two of YOU.

<p class="MsoNormal">Timmy: Eugh!

<p class="MsoNormal">Tommy: Eugh!

<p class="MsoNormal">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!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: You mean you think I should do the things I like?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Yes! Exactly!

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: Instead of the interesting things YOU like?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: OK, OK. Sorry I said everything you like is boring.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: So you'll still play with me sometimes?

<p class="MsoNormal">Arthur: Sure.

<p class="MsoNormal">D.W.: 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.
