Transcript: Muffy Misses Out / Arthur Takes a Stand
The show opens with a clip of Arthur and his dog walking down a street. Arthur is an 8-year-old aardvark. He has a round head with small round ears and short brown hair, and he wears glasses.
The scene continues when Arthur jumps into the cover of a book that a little girl reads on her bed.
The book is called "Arthur." It makes the girl laugh.
A song plays on as all this takes place.
The lyrics say
EVERY DAY WHEN YOU'RE
WALKING DOWN THE STREET
EVERYBODY THAT YOU MEET
HAS AN ORIGINAL
POINT OF VIEW
AND I SAY HEY!
Arthur opens the bedroom door and says HEY!
The song goes on, and a bunch of smiling animal faces sing
WHAT A
WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY
IF WE COULD LEARN
TO WORK AND PLAY
Later, Arthur and a friend ride their bikes wearing helmets and the song goes on
AND GET ALONG
WITH EACH OTHER
Now Arthur takes a family picture as his parents, grandparents, sisters, and dog sit on the family couch.
The song keeps playing
YOU GOTTA LISTEN
TO YOUR HEART
LISTEN TO THE BEAT
LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM
THE RHYTHM OF THE STREET
OPEN UP YOUR EYES
OPEN UP YOUR EARS GET TOGETHER
AND MAKE THINGS BETTER
BY WORKING TOGETHER
IT'S A SIMPLE MESSAGE
AND IT COMES FROM THE HEART
Arthur looks at the family album. He hugs his mum and jumps out to the city. He sees bikes, cars, and shops. He high-fives a friend that cycles by.
The song goes on
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
FOR THAT'S
THE PLACE TO START
AND I SAY
Now Arthur falls into a swimming pool and plays with friends.
The song continues
HEY!
HEY!
WHAT A
WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY
IF WE COULD LEARN
TO WORK AND PLAY
AND GET ALONG WITH
EACH OTHER
HEY!
WHAT A WONDERFUL
KIND OF DAY
HEY!
WHAT A WONDERFUL
KIND OF DAY
Now Arthur's sister closes her "Arthur" book and sees Arthur on the living room TV.
Arthur says HEY, DW!
She says HEY!
Arthur falls backwards and says WHOA! OOF!
The episode begins with Muffy and her dad talking in the back of their limousine.
Ed says GUESS WHAT, MUFFSTER?
TOMORROW, I GO TO ITALY
FOR A WEEK-LONG BUSINESS TRIP,
AND YOU'RE COMING WITH ME.
Ed shows Muffy two tickets.
Muffy gasps and says OH, DADDY!
THE OPERA!
THE FASHION!
Ed says THE PASTA.
Muffy says WAIT, BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE BAKE SALE?
Ed says BAKE SALE?
He laughs and continues
MUFFIN,
THERE'S PLENTY
OF BAKED GOODS IN ITALY.
Muffy says NO, WE'RE HAVING A SALE
TO RAISE MONEY
FOR THE SCHOOL THEATRE.
AND I'M THE HEAD
OF THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE.
Ed says WELL, I'M SURE YOUR FRIENDS
CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT YOU
FOR ONE WEEK.
Muffy says CAN THEY?
Muffy imagines her friends as little kids.
Little Francine says MUFFY!
Little Binky cries and says I WANT MY MUFFY!
A green patterned slate appears. It reads "Muffy misses out."
A caption under it reads "written by Matt Hoverman-Storyboard by Allan Jeffery."
(indistinct chattering)
Muffy walks the school hallway followed by her friends that take notes.
Muffy says OKAY, THE BAKE SALE
IS THE DAY I RETURN,
AND WE DON'T
HAVE A THEME YET.
IDEAS, PEOPLE.
Sue Ellen says WE, UH, MAKE SOME MUFFINS
AND SELL THEM?
Muffy says MUFFINS? NO, NO, NO!
WE HAVE TO DAZZLE THEM.
CAPTURE THE CUSTOMERS'
IMAGINATION.
Ladonna says WE SELL MUFFINS
SHAPED LIKE CAMELS.
Muffy says NICE, BUT THE MUFFIN TRAYS
WOULD COST A BUNDLE,
AND WE DON'T
HAVE THE OVERHEAD.
BARNES, WHAT DO YOU GOT?
Binky says NO HOMEWORK.
OH, SORRY.
I WAS STILL THINKING
ABOUT THE FACT
THAT YOU GET A WHOLE
WEEK WITHOUT HOMEWORK.
Muffy says RELAX. MR. RATBURN SAID
I HAVE TO GIVE A PRESENTATION
ON THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE
WHEN I GET BACK.
NOW, FOCUS!
Binky says OKAY, OKAY.
UM...WHAT ABOUT
CHINESE DUMPLINGS?
Sue Ellen says BINKY, IT'S A BAKE SALE.
Binky says SO? WE'LL BAKE THE DUMPLINGS.
Muffy says NO TO THE DUMPLINGS.
BUT YOU'VE GIVEN ME
AN IDEA.
WE DO A REGIONAL CUISINE.
Binky says RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I MEANT.
Muffy says WE'LL SELL ITALIAN PASTRIES.
THERE'S ROMANCE
IN A CANNOLI.
LADONNA, YOU DO THE BAKING.
SUE ELLEN,
YOU DECORATE.
AND BINKY,
YOU HANDLE THE MUSIC.
Binky says CAN I PLAY ANYTHING I WANT?
Muffy says SURE, SO LONG AS IT'S
19TH CENTURY ITALIAN OPERA.
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
YOU'VE GOT YOUR ASSIGNMENTS.
GET TO WORK.
(door opening)
Muffy leaves.
Ladonna says WHAT'S A CANNOLI?
Muffy and Francine walk out of the school.
Muffy says DADDY SAID PACK LIGHT,
SO I'M ONLY BRINGING
THREE SUITCASES.
BUT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD PACK
MY BALL GOWN?
HELLO?
EARTH TO FRANCINE?
Francine says OH, SORRY.
SURE, BRING THE GOWN.
Muffy says WHAT'S WRONG?
Francine says IT'S JUST CATHERINE.
SHE PROMISED TO TAKE ME BOWLING
THIS WEEKEND,
BUT NOW SHE'S BACKING OUT.
LIKE ALWAYS.
Muffy says WELL, LUCKY FOR YOU,
YOU HAVE A BEST FRIEND
WITH LOTS OF OLDER BROTHER
EXPERIENCE.
YOU HAVE TO PLAY
HARD TO GET.
Francine says REALLY?
Muffy says IT NEVER FAILS.
JUST IGNORE HER,
AND SHE'LL BE BEGGING
TO HANG OUT WITH YOU.
Francine says I GUESS IT'S WORTH A SHOT.
Muffy sighs and says WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO WITHOUT ME?
(camera shutters clicking)
Muffy and her dad visit Italy’s most famous monuments. They take pictures and eat pasta.
Then, in the limousine, Ed checks the pictures on Muffy’s cell phone and says THAT'LL BE ONE BOFFO
PRESENTATION, MUFFSTER.
Muffy says THANKS, DADDY.
I'M JUST SAD THAT JET LAG
MADE ME SLEEP LATE.
I HOPE THEY REMEMBERED
EVERYTHING FOR THE BAKE SALE.
(indistinct chattering)
Back at school, Muffy says WHAT'S GOING ON?
Sue Ellen says MUFFY, THE SALE
IS DOING GREAT.
WE'VE ALREADY RAISED ENOUGH TO
BUY A NEW CURTAIN FOR THE STAGE.
Muffy says I KNEW IT.
YOU CAN'T BEAT THE ALLURE
OF AN ITALIAN PASTRY.
I BROUGHT MORE,
STRAIGHT FROM ITALY.
Sue Ellen says OH, WE'RE NOT SELLING
ITALIAN PASTRIES.
Muffy says WHAT?
Sue Ellen says SINCE WE DIDN'T KNOW
HOW TO MAKE CANNOLI,
LADONNA SUGGESTED A DESERT
FROM HER HOMETOWN INSTEAD.
Ladonna says NEW ORLEANS BEIGNETS.
HEY, MY CHERES.
HAVE A SWEET TREAT
FROM THE BIG EASY.
Muffy says I'LL PASS.
Buster says I'LL TAKE IT.
IT'S LIKE EATING A CLOUD.
Sue Ellen says WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF MY DECORATIONS?
PRETTY EYE-CATCHING, HUH?
Muffy says BUT THIS DOESN'T
EVOKE ITALY.
Sue Ellen says WELL, NO, BUT LADONNA SAID THESE
MASKS AND FEATHERS
REALLY DO EVOKE LOUISIANA.
Ladonna says YEAH, AND PEOPLE
LOVE THEM.
Muffy says BUT...BUT...
(jazzy music playing)
Kids queue in Ladonna’s stall.
Muffy says WHAT IS THAT?
Binky stops playing the clarinet and says DIXIELAND JAZZ.
Muffy says WE AGREED ON OPERA.
Buster says HERE, TAKE ALL MY MONEY.
I NEED MORE
CHEWY CLOUDS.
Sue Ellen says AREN'T YOU HAPPY?
IT'S A HUGE SUCCESS.
Muffy says NO, IT ISN'T.
IT'S A DISASTER!
She leaves crying.
Muffy runs into the classroom and says FRANCINE!
THANK GOODNESS!
I REALLY NEED TO TALK.
DID YOU SEE
WHAT THEY DID?
THEY IGNORED
ALL MY SUGGESTIONS.
Francine removes her earphones and says HEY, YOU'RE BACK.
SORRY, I WAS LISTENING TO THIS
NEW ORLEANS JAZZ BINKY GAVE ME.
I'M REALLY INTO IT.
WHAT WERE YOU SAYING?
Muffy says OH, JUST SOMETHING
ABOUT THE BAKE SALE.
Francine says WASN'T IT GREAT?
Muffy says NO. NOT YOU TOO.
Francine says NOT ME WHAT?
(bell ringing)
Muffy says CAN I START MY PRESENTATION
NOW, MR. RATBURN?
Ratburn turns the lights off and Muffy shows her pictures.
Muffy says THIS IS THE TOWER OF PISA,
WHERE GALILEO DID SOME
SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS.
BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS,
HE WAS RIGHT.
AND NO ONE LISTENED TO HIM.
NO ONE!
THIS IS A BIG SQUARE
IN VENICE,
WHERE LOTS OF FAMOUS RENAISSANCE
FIGURES WOULD SIT
AND EAT CANNOLI,
BECAUSE THEY'RE DELICIOUS!
AND THIS IS THE STATUE
BY THE GREAT RENAISSANCE ARTIST
MICHELANGELO,
WHO WAS ALSO FAMOUS
FOR HIS AMAZING BAKE SALES!
Sue Ellen says UH, I DON'T THINK
THAT'S ACCURATE.
Muffy says YES, IT IS.
AND TOMORROW, I'M GOING TO THROW
A GENIUS BAKE SALE.
AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE
MORE MONEY
THAN THE CRUMMY ONE
WE HAD TODAY.
THE END!
Furious, Muffy goes back to her seat and crosses her arms.
Later, Muffy stands by a stall wearing a long pink dress. A sign reads "Muffy’s cannolis imported from Italy."
Muffy says CANNOLI?
TAKE YOU MOUTH
ON A TRIP TO ITALY.
Francine says I'LL TAKE ONE.
Muffy says SI, SIGNORA.
PAISAN!
Wearing a hat and a red scarf around his neck, Buster offers a cannoli to Francine.
Francine says UM, THEY'RE A LITTLE STALE.
HOW MANY HAVE YOU SOLD?
Muffy says COUNTING YOURS? ONE.
Buster says I'LL TAKE ONE.
Muffy says TWO!
SEE? NOW WE'RE COOKING.
Buster says ONLY I SPENT ALL MY MONEY
ON BEIGNETS.
Muffy says OH, YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE.
JUST EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT.
Buster says OH, I'M NOT GOING
TO EAT IT.
I'M GOING TO PUT IT
IN MY CABINET OF CURIOSITIES.
Muffy says OH, THIS BAKE SALE
IS A BUST.
I GUESS THEY DIDN'T REALLY
NEED MY HELP AFTER ALL.
IN FACT, NO ONE NEEDS ME.
Francine says THAT'S NOT TRUE.
I DO.
Muffy says YOU DO?
OH, YEAH!
I GAVE YOU THAT GREAT ADVICE
ABOUT CATHERINE.
DID YOU IGNORE HER
LIKE I TOLD YOU?
Francine says UM, NO.
WE JUST TALKED ABOUT IT INSTEAD,
AND SHE CHANGED HER PLANS
AND WENT BOWLING WITH ME.
Muffy sobs and says SEE? I AM USELESS!
CIAO, LAKEWOOD.
REMEMBER ME!
Francine says MUFFY, WAIT.
YOU'RE OVERREACTING.
Next, Muffy lies on her bed.
Muffy says BAILEY, COULD YOU TELL DADDY
I'M FEELING SICK?
I DON'T THINK I CAN
GO TO SCHOOL TODAY.
She coughs and continues
AT LEAST YOU STILL NEED ME,
WALDO.
She squeezes an elephant toy.
Now, the kids gather in a park.
Buster says AMAZING.
I THINK THIS CANNOLI
HAS THE SAME DENSITY AS WOOD.
Sue Ellen says WHERE'S MUFFY?
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A BAKE
SALE COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY
TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO
WITH THE LEFTOVER MONEY.
Francine says I THINK SHE'S OUT SICK.
BUSTER, CAN I BORROW
YOUR PHONE?
(phone ringing)
Muffy says HELLO?
Francine says HEY, IT'S ME. ARE YOU OKAY?
YOU WANT ME TO BRING YOU
YOUR HOMEWORK?
Muffy says WHY BOTHER?
WHAT'S THE POINT OF SCHOOL
IF YOU DON'T MATTER
TO ANYONE?
Francine says OH, BROTHER.
ARE YOU STILL UPSET
ABOUT YESTERDAY?
Muffy says NO. MAYBE.
ANYWAY, WHY DO YOU CARE?
SOON, I'LL JUST BE
A MEMORY.
ARRIVEDERCI,
MY FRIEND.
Muffy ends the call.
Sue Ellen says IS SHE SICK?
Francine says YEAH, SHE HAS A BROKEN EGO.
Binky says WHOA! IS SHE GOING
TO GET A CAST?
Ladonna says I THINK FRANCINE MEANS
HER PRIDE IS HURT,
BECAUSE WE DIDN'T TAKE HER
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE BAKE SALE.
Sue Ellen says BUT WE DID.
I MEAN, MAYBE NOT
ALL OF THEM,
BUT DOING A REGIONAL CUISINE
WAS HER IDEA.
Binky says I WOULDN'T HAVE PLAYED ANY MUSIC
UNLESS SHE HAD MENTIONED IT.
Francine says AND SHE DID ACTUALLY
HELP ME WITH CATHERINE.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW UPSET I WAS
UNTIL I TALKED
TO MUFFY ABOUT IT.
Ladonna says SHOULD WE JUST GO OVER
AND TALK TO HER?
Francine says YES.
BUT YOU MAY WANT TO ADD
A LITTLE DRAMA.
Muffy uses a hair dryer on her toy and says WHY, YES, I CAN SUGGEST
A GOOD HAIR PRODUCT
FOR YOUR FUR, WALDO.
(knocking on door)
Sue Ellen says MUFFY!
IT'S ME, SUE ELLEN.
CAN I COME IN?
Muffy says UH, ONE MOMENT.
Muffy goes back to bed and says ENTER.
Sue Ellen says OH, IT'S JUST TERRIBLE.
TERRIBLE.
Muffy says WHAT IS IT?
THERE WAS MONEY LEFTOVER
FROM THE BAKE SALE.
SO WE THOUGHT WE'D DECORATE
THE STAGE CURTAIN.
BUT LADONNA AND BINKY
HAVE GOTTEN
INTO A HUGE FIGHT
ABOUT IT.
Binky says WE'RE PAINTING
WRESTLERS ON IT.
END OF STORY.
Ladonna says OH, NOT ON MY WATCH,
YOU PIE-FACED POSSUM.
WRESTLING ISN'T EVEN
A REAL SPORT.
Binky gasps and says YOU TAKE THAT BACK,
COMPSON.
Ladonna says TRY AND MAKE ME, PEACHES.
Muffy says STOP! STOP!
HAVE YOU TWO
LOST YOUR MINDS?
Sue Ellen says MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST
GIVE THE MONEY AWAY.
Muffy says NO! DECORATING THE CURTAIN
IS A GREAT IDEA.
BUT YOU HAVE TO LISTEN
TO EACH OTHER.
Binky says I DON'T SUPPOSE
YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS.
Ladonna says SURE COULD USE
A LITTLE HELP.
Muffy says AS IT SO HAPPENS, I JUST MIGHT
HAVE AN IDEA OR TWO.
Sue Ellen says OH, THANK YOU.
YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH
THIS COMMITTEE NEEDS YOU.
Muffy says OKAY, ENOUGH LOLLYGAGGING.
LET'S WALK AND TALK.
BARNES, BATHROBE, PRONTO.
NOW, WE WANT IT TO BE COLOURFUL,
BUT NOT GARISH.
THE THEATRICAL EVENT STARTS
WHEN YOU ENTER THE THEATRE.
IDEAS, PEOPLE.
IDEAS.
Binky says SO ARE WRESTLERS
COMPLETELY OUT OF THE QUESTION?
A blue patterned slate with kids showing a poster appears. A title reads "A Word From Us Kids."
Kids say AND NOW, A WORD FROM US KIDS.
A blond girl says NEXT UP ON
ARTHUR,
JOHN LEWIS VISITS
ARTHUR'S SCHOOL.
A girl with black hair says HERE'S WHAT WE'VE LEARNED
ABOUT JOHN LEWIS.
WE MADE POSTERS, WE MADE MAPS,
WE DID RESEARCH
TO LEARN ABOUT JOHN LEWIS.
A girl with two long braids says HE WORKED IN
THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
WITH DR. MARTIN
LUTHER KING, JR.,
AND HE HELPED CREATE
EQUAL RIGHTS.
The girl with black hair says JOHN LEWIS IS AN ACTIVIST.
AN ACTIVIST IS SOMEBODY
WHO'S INVOLVED
IN CHANGING THE WORLD.
Gil 1 says STARTING IN THE EARLY 1960S,
HE ORGANIZED PROTESTS
AGAINST SEGREGATION.
UNDER SEGREGATION, BLACK PEOPLE
WEREN'T GETTING TREATED
THE SAME WAY
AS WHITE PEOPLE.
An animation shows a man walking down a timeline followed by protesters.
The girl with black hair says HE THOUGHT IT WASN'T FAIR
THAT BLACK PEOPLE
COULD NOT DO THINGS
THAT WHITE PEOPLE COULD DO.
The girl with two long braids says JOHN LEWIS WAS PART
OF THE MARCH FROM SELMA
TO MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA.
Gil 2 says IT WAS ONE OF THE STATES
THAT MADE IT REALLY HARD
FOR BLACK PEOPLE TO VOTE.
THE MARCH WAS A PROTEST
AGAINST THAT.
Gil 3 says JOHN LEWIS WAS BEATEN BY POLICE,
AND HE WAS ARRESTED.
FINALLY, THE SELMA MARCH
HELPED CHANGE THE LAWS.
The blond girl says JOHN LEWIS AND THE OTHER
ACTIVISTS,
THEY PROTESTED
FOR THEIR RIGHTS.
AND EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE
TRIED TO STOP THEM,
AND EVEN HURT THEM,
THEY KEPT ON TRYING
AND KEPT ON GOING.
Kids’ homemade posters show black and white pictures of the activist mentioned.
The girl with black hair says HE DID NONVIOLENT PROTESTS.
A boy says JOHN LEWIS DID NOT WANT
TO HURT PEOPLE.
HE JUST WANTED
TO GET HIS MESSAGE ACROSS.
Gil 4 says AND NOW HE IS A CONGRESSMAN,
AND HE LIVES IN GEORGIA.
A girl wearing a yellow jacket says IF JOHN LEWIS
CAME TO MY CLASSROOM,
I WOULD TELL HIM, THANK YOU
FOR MAKING THE WORLD BETTER.
Kids say AND NOW, BACK TO
ARTHUR.
George plays the xylophone in Miss Tingley’s office. She wears a lilac jacket and has gray curly hair.
Miss Tingley says THANK YOU, GEORGE.
She picks up a microphone and says AHEM.
I HAVE TWO IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
ONE, STARTING TOMORROW,
BREAKFAST WILL BE SERVED
IN THE CAFETERIA.
(all cheering)
Buster says MY WISH WAS GRANTED.
Miss Tingley continues THE SECOND IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT IS,
NEXT WEEK, WE WILL HAVE
A GUEST SPEAKER
COMING TO THE SCHOOL.
DRUMROLL, PLEASE.
George plays drums on the desk.
She continues CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS,
FROM GEORGIA.
Ladonna says YOU MEAN THE JOHN LEWIS?
Arthur says WHO'S JOHN LEWIS?
Sue Ellen says HE WAS A REALLY IMPORTANT
CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER
IN THE 1960S,
AND CHALLENGED THE LACK
OF EQUAL RIGHTS
FOR BLACK AMERICANS.
Ladonna says YEAH. HE HELPED GUARANTEE
THAT EVERYONE COULD VOTE.
HE ALSO WROTE THIS REALLY COOL
GRAPHIC NOVEL, CALLED
MARCH.
I HAVE IT AT HOME.
Arthur says WOW.
Miss Tingley says THAT IS ALL.
BE SAFE AND HAVE
A STUDIOUS DAY.
(harmonica playing)
Miss Tingley says NO HARMONICA.
I THOUGHT WE AGREED.
Embarrassed, George stops playing and nods.
A green patterned slate appears. It reads "Arthur takes a stand."
A caption under it reads "written by Peter Hirsch-Storyboard by Cilbur Rocha."
Mrs. MacGrady walks out of her house and yawns. She arrives at school at 7:00 am and starts cooking.
(bell dinging)
(sizzling)
An hour later, Mrs. MacGrady serves breakfast to the kids.
Francine says THIS OATMEAL
SMELLS AMAZING.
Mrs. MacGrady says IT'S EVEN BETTER
WITH A FEW SLICED ALMONDS.
Muffy says AND THIS OMELETTE
IS SO GOURMET.
DOES IT COME WITH JUST
EGG WHITES?
Mrs. MacGrady says IF YOU DON'T MIND WAITING,
I CAN WHIP ONE UP IN NO TIME.
Ladonna says MRS. MACGRADY, CAN I HAVE
THE RECIPE FOR THESE OAT SCONES?
Mrs. MacGrady says SURE THING.
THE KEY IS TO USE ROLLED OATS.
Binky says MRS. MACGRADY,
GREAT FRUIT SALAD.
CAN I GET MORE PINEAPPLE?
Mrs. MacGrady says GLAD YOU LIKE IT.
JUST GIVE ME TWO SHAKES
OF A LAMB'S TAIL.
THERE'S ONLY ONE OF ME,
AFTER ALL.
Later, Mrs. MacGrady cleans the tables and rests a little.
Arthur says MRS. MACGRADY.
Mrs. MacGrady says HUH? YES, PRESENT.
OH, HI, ARTHUR.
WE'RE PLUM OUT OF SCONES.
BUT THERE'S SOME
BANANA BREAD LEFT.
Arthur says I'M NOT HUNGRY.
I JUST LEFT
MY NOTEBOOK HERE.
BREAKFAST WAS GREAT.
I HAD NO IDEA
SO MANY KIDS WOULD COME.
Mrs. MacGrady says ME NEITHER.
NOW, IF I CAN ONLY
TURN MYSELF INTO AN OCTOPUS,
WE'LL BE ALL SET.
Arthur says HUH?
I NEED MORE ARMS.
DON'T YOU HAVE
ANY HELP?
Mrs. MacGrady says NOPE.
I PUT IN A REQUEST
WITH MISS TINGLEY,
BUT I HAVEN'T
HEARD BACK YET.
OH, WELL.
I'D BETTER GET STARTED
ON LUNCH.
THAT CHILLI ISN'T GOING
TO MAKE ITSELF.
Next, Arthur talks to his friends at the cafeteria.
Arthur says SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY HELP.
THINK ABOUT PREPARING TWO
MEALS A DAY FOR ALL THESE KIDS.
Muffy says WELL, WHATEVER MRS. MACGRADY
IS DOING, IT'S WORKING.
THIS CHILLI IS DIVINE.
Buster says SHE SHOULD JUST MAKE ONE THING
AND SERVE IT FOR BOTH MEALS.
LIKE MEAT LOAF.
Francine says MEAT LOAF?
FOR BREAKFAST?
Buster says WHAT? IT'S LIKE A MEAT
PANCAKE.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU PUT
SYRUP ON IT.
Muffy and Arthur say YUCK!
Francine says ARTHUR'S RIGHT.
IT ISN'T RIGHT
THAT MRS. MACGRADY
SHOULD HAVE TO DO
ALL THIS ALONE.
Arthur says LET'S GO SEE MISS TINGLEY
AFTER SCHOOL.
I BET WE CAN CONVINCE HER
TO HIRE SOMEONE.
Next, Arthur waits in the hallway.
Arthur says BUSTER, THERE YOU ARE.
WHERE IS EVERYONE?
Buster says OH, RIGHT. WE WERE GOING
TO SEE MISS TINGLEY.
I COMPLETELY FORGOT.
I HAVE A DENTIST
APPOINTMENT NOW.
Arthur says WHAT ABOUT FRANCINE
AND MUFFY?
Buster says I SAW THEM LEAVING.
THEY MUST HAVE
FORGOTTEN TOO.
SORRY.
Arthur exhales and walks into Miss Tingley’s office.
Miss Tingley says THERE'S JUST SO MUCH TO DO
FOR CONGRESSMAN LEWIS'S VISIT.
I WANT THE SCHOOL
TO LOOK EXTRA NICE FOR HIM.
Arthur says ACTUALLY, I'M HERE TO TALK
ABOUT MRS. MACGRADY.
IS SHE GOING TO GET
ANY HELP?
Miss Tingley says I'D LOVE TO HIRE HER
AN ASSISTANT,
BUT THE SCHOOL BOARD GIVES US
A LIMITED AMOUNT OF MONEY,
AND WE JUST DON'T
HAVE THE BUDGET FOR IT.
Arthur says COULDN'T WE WRITE THEM A LETTER
ASKING FOR A LITTLE MORE?
Miss Tingley says WELL, THAT CERTAINLY
IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
WHO KNEW BREAKFAST
WOULD BE SUCH A HIT?
DID YOU TRY THE OAT SCONES?
Arthur says NO, BUT...
Miss Tingley says OH, THEY'RE JUST DELICIOUS.
I DON'T KNOW
HOW SHE DOES IT.
SORRY I'M SO DISTRACTED.
I REALLY ENJOYED OUR CHAT,
ARTHUR.
Arthur and Sue Ellen take a walk.
Arthur says WHAT IF MR. RATBURN HAD
TO TEACH TWICE AS MANY CLASSES?
I BET HE'D GET
AN ASSISTANT.
Sue Ellen says I KNOW. IT'S SO UNFAIR.
MAYBE WE SHOULD BOYCOTT
THE SCHOOL.
Arthur says WHAT'S A BOYCOTT?
Sue Ellen says IT'S WHEN YOU REFUSE
TO USE SOMETHING
UNTIL YOUR DEMANDS ARE MET.
IT'S ONE OF THE TACTICS
MARTIN LUTHER KING
AND JOHN LEWIS USED
IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.
Arthur says I DON'T THINK
WE SHOULD DO THAT.
I LIKE SCHOOL.
BUT THAT GIVES ME
AN IDEA.
Arthur leaves notes on all the lockers.
Mrs. MacGrady reads the note and says BOYCOTT
BREAKFAST. IT’S NOT FAIR TO
MRS. MACGRADY.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
Arthur says I MADE IT.
Mrs. MacGrady says WELL, FOR THE LOVE
OF (UNCLEAR).
WHY?
Arthur says SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
SO MUCH WORK.
Mrs. MacGrady says ARTHUR, SERVING BREAKFAST
WAS MY IDEA.
Arthur says IT WAS?
Mrs. MacGrady says YUP. THERE ARE KIDS HERE
WHOSE FAMILIES
CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE THEM
A PROPER BREAKFAST.
THEY NEED THIS.
Arthur says BUT YOU CAN'T DO IT
ALL ALONE.
YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.
YOU NEED MORE ARMS.
Mrs. MacGrady says IT'S TRUE.
TUSSLED WITH A TOASTER
THIS MORNING.
THIS TIME, HE WON.
She shows her bandaged index finger.
Arthur says SO, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?
Mrs. MacGrady says I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS I'LL JUST
HAVE TO MANAGE SOMEHOW.
Arthur reads at the library. Then, he imagines him and the kids listening to an announcement at school.
Miss Tingley says I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE
THAT THE CAFETERIA
WILL BE OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY.
YOU CAN ALL HAVE DINNER
RIGHT NOW.
(all cheering)
Buster says DINNER! I'M STARVING!
Arthur says BUT YOU JUST
HAD BREAKFAST.
Kids say MRS. MACGRADY...
Muffy says MRS. MACGRADY,
MY STEAKS ARE OVERDONE!
Buster says MORE SYRUP.
I NEED MORE SYRUP.
Arthur says GUYS, CALM DOWN.
MRS. MACGRADY CAN'T HANDLE
ALL THIS.
Mrs. MacGrady says WELL, I DID GET
AN ASSISTANT.
BUT NOW I DON'T HAVE
THE TIME TO TRAIN HIM.
A purple octopus washes the dishes and throws them away.
Arthur says IT'S NOT FAIR!
IT'S NOT FAIR!
Arthur wakes up and says STOP.
IT'S NOT FAIR.
Lewis sits in front of Arthur. He wears a blue suit.
Lewis says NO, THIS REALLY
ISN'T FAIR.
MAKING THIS LIBRARY
SO WARM AND COZY
MAKES ME WANT TO NAP TOO.
Arthur says OH, SORRY.
I DIDN'T SLEEP MUCH
LAST NIGHT.
Lewis says YOU WERE HAVING
QUITE A NIGHTMARE, SON.
Arthur says IT WAS ABOUT OUR LUNCH LADY.
Lewis says SOUNDS FRIGHTENING.
KNEW A COOK ONCE WHO COULD RUIN
A JELLY SANDWICH.
DIDN'T THINK
IT WAS POSSIBLE.
Arthur says NO, SHE'S THE BEST.
SHE NEEDS HELP,
BUT MY SCHOOL
WON'T HIRE ANYONE.
IT MAKES ME REALLY MAD.
ANYWAY, I GUESS
IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM.
Lewis says MAYBE. THEN AGAIN,
IF IT'S GNAWING
AT YOUR CONSCIENCE,
MAYBE IT IS YOUR PROBLEM.
Arthur says BUT WHAT CAN I DO?
I ALREADY TRIED TALKING
TO THE PRINCIPAL.
Lewis says SOMETIMES, PEOPLE DON'T HEAR
THE FIRST TIME.
YOU HAVE TO BE PERSISTENT.
BUT IF THIS MEANS A LOT TO YOU,
DO NOT GIVE UP.
HOLD YOUR GROUND.
A PERSON WITH CONVICTION
CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
OH, COULD YOU DIRECT ME
TO A FLORIST?
I HAVE TO BUY SOME FLOWERS
FOR AN OLD FRIEND.
Next, the kids have lunch.
Buster says WELL, TIME FOR CLASS.
I BET WE HAVE A QUIZ TODAY.
MY ELBOW FEELS FUNNY.
Arthurs sees Mrs. MacGrady yawning behind a counter.
Buster says AREN'T YOU COMING?
Arthur says NO.
Francine says WHAT? WHY NOT?
Arthur says I'M NOT MOVING FROM THIS CHAIR
UNTIL MISS TINGLEY AGREES
TO HIRE AN ASSISTANT
FOR MRS. MACGRADY.
Muffy says THAT'S SILLY.
HOW IS YOU GETTING IN TROUBLE
GOING TO HELP HER?
Francine says COME ON, I'M SURE HE'LL GIVE UP
IN A FEW MINUTES.
Mrs. MacGrady says ARTHUR, YOU'D BETTER HURRY.
CLASS HAS STARTED.
Arthur says I'M NOT MOVING.
NOT UNTIL YOU GET
SOME HELP.
Mrs. MacGrady says WELL, THAT'S VERY SWEET OF YOU,
BUT I CAN FIGHT MY OWN BATTLES.
Arthur says IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT YOU.
WHAT THE SCHOOL IS DOING
IS WRONG.
DON'T YOU THINK
IT'S WRONG?
Mrs. MacGrady says WELL, YES, BUT...
OH, FIDDLE-FADDLE.
WHEN YOU'RE RIGHT,
YOU'RE RIGHT.
Mrs. MacGrady sits too.
Sue Ellen says SOMEONE SAID YOU WERE PROTESTING
UNFAIR WORKING CONDITIONS.
CAN I JOIN IN?
THIS IS SO EXCITING.
WE'RE HAVING A SIT-IN.
Arthur says WE ARE?
Later, Francine says WOW, HE'S STILL AT IT.
Muffy says I KNOW.
AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE
MAGAZINES AND FOOTRESTS.
More students join and sit at Arthur’s table.
Muffy says FRANCINE, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
Muffy sighs and, as she takes a selfie says FIGHT THE POWER.
(camera beeps, shutters click)
Miss Tingley walks in and says WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?
Arthur says MRS. MACGRADY NEEDS HELP.
I KNOW YOU SAID
WE CAN'T AFFORD IT,
BUT WE NEED TO FIND
THE MONEY SOMEHOW.
Mrs. MacGrady says I REALLY AM SHORTHANDED.
Miss Tingley says I'LL CERTAINLY
CONSIDER IT.
NOW, PLEASE,
RETURN TO CLASS AT ONCE.
Arthur shakes his head gesturing "no."
Mrs. MacGrady says I'M SORRY, CECILIA,
BUT WE'RE GOING TO NEED
A GUARANTEE.
Carrying a bunch of flowers, Lewis says EXCUSE ME, MA'AM,
DO YOU KNOW WHERE I MIGHT FIND
A MISS LEAH MRS. MACGRADY?
Miss Tingley says CONGRESSMAN LEWIS!
Mrs. MacGrady says JOHN, YOU OLD
TROUBLEMAKER.
GET OVER HERE.
Lewis laughs and says (UNCLEAR) MACGRADY,
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT
SINCE THE MARCH
ON WASHINGTON.
They hug.
Arthur says YOU'RE CONGRESSMAN LEWIS?
Lewis says SO THEY KEEP
TELLING ME.
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
ARE WE HAVING A SIT-IN?
HOW COME NO ONE
CALLED ME?
Miss Tingley looks shocked.
Miss Tingley approaches Mrs. MacGrady and says YOU HAVE YOUR GUARANTEE.
I'LL WRITE TO THE SCHOOL BOARD
FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING.
MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO HELP ME
WRITE THE LETTER.
Arthur says SURE, I'D LOVE TO.
Lewis says THINK YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
NIGHTMARES AGAIN TONIGHT?
Arthur says NOPE.
Lewis says ME NEITHER.
THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT
THAN FOLLOWING YOUR CONSCIENCE.
IF YOU CAN DO THAT,
YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING
TO SLEEP WELL.
Lewis winks an eye.
A title reads "Special appearance by Rep. John Lewis."
The end credits roll as the theme song plays.
The song plays LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
LISTEN TO THE BEAT
LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM,
THE RHYTHM OF THE STREET
OPEN UP YOUR EYES,
OPEN UP YOUR EARS
GET TOGETHER AND MAKE THINGS
BETTER BY WORKING TOGETHER
IT'S A SIMPLE MESSAGE
YEAH, AND IT COMES
FROM THE HEART
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
(BELIEVE IN YOURSELF)
FOR THAT'S THE PLACE
TO START.
The scene continues when Arthur jumps into the cover of a book that a little girl reads on her bed.
The book is called "Arthur." It makes the girl laugh.
A song plays on as all this takes place.
The lyrics say
EVERY DAY WHEN YOU'RE
WALKING DOWN THE STREET
EVERYBODY THAT YOU MEET
HAS AN ORIGINAL
POINT OF VIEW
AND I SAY HEY!
Arthur opens the bedroom door and says HEY!
The song goes on, and a bunch of smiling animal faces sing
WHAT A
WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY
IF WE COULD LEARN
TO WORK AND PLAY
Later, Arthur and a friend ride their bikes wearing helmets and the song goes on
AND GET ALONG
WITH EACH OTHER
Now Arthur takes a family picture as his parents, grandparents, sisters, and dog sit on the family couch.
The song keeps playing
YOU GOTTA LISTEN
TO YOUR HEART
LISTEN TO THE BEAT
LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM
THE RHYTHM OF THE STREET
OPEN UP YOUR EYES
OPEN UP YOUR EARS GET TOGETHER
AND MAKE THINGS BETTER
BY WORKING TOGETHER
IT'S A SIMPLE MESSAGE
AND IT COMES FROM THE HEART
Arthur looks at the family album. He hugs his mum and jumps out to the city. He sees bikes, cars, and shops. He high-fives a friend that cycles by.
The song goes on
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
FOR THAT'S
THE PLACE TO START
AND I SAY
Now Arthur falls into a swimming pool and plays with friends.
The song continues
HEY!
HEY!
WHAT A
WONDERFUL KIND OF DAY
IF WE COULD LEARN
TO WORK AND PLAY
AND GET ALONG WITH
EACH OTHER
HEY!
WHAT A WONDERFUL
KIND OF DAY
HEY!
WHAT A WONDERFUL
KIND OF DAY
Now Arthur's sister closes her "Arthur" book and sees Arthur on the living room TV.
Arthur says HEY, DW!
She says HEY!
Arthur falls backwards and says WHOA! OOF!
The episode begins with Muffy and her dad talking in the back of their limousine.
Ed says GUESS WHAT, MUFFSTER?
TOMORROW, I GO TO ITALY
FOR A WEEK-LONG BUSINESS TRIP,
AND YOU'RE COMING WITH ME.
Ed shows Muffy two tickets.
Muffy gasps and says OH, DADDY!
THE OPERA!
THE FASHION!
Ed says THE PASTA.
Muffy says WAIT, BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE BAKE SALE?
Ed says BAKE SALE?
He laughs and continues
MUFFIN,
THERE'S PLENTY
OF BAKED GOODS IN ITALY.
Muffy says NO, WE'RE HAVING A SALE
TO RAISE MONEY
FOR THE SCHOOL THEATRE.
AND I'M THE HEAD
OF THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE.
Ed says WELL, I'M SURE YOUR FRIENDS
CAN SURVIVE WITHOUT YOU
FOR ONE WEEK.
Muffy says CAN THEY?
Muffy imagines her friends as little kids.
Little Francine says MUFFY!
Little Binky cries and says I WANT MY MUFFY!
A green patterned slate appears. It reads "Muffy misses out."
A caption under it reads "written by Matt Hoverman-Storyboard by Allan Jeffery."
(indistinct chattering)
Muffy walks the school hallway followed by her friends that take notes.
Muffy says OKAY, THE BAKE SALE
IS THE DAY I RETURN,
AND WE DON'T
HAVE A THEME YET.
IDEAS, PEOPLE.
Sue Ellen says WE, UH, MAKE SOME MUFFINS
AND SELL THEM?
Muffy says MUFFINS? NO, NO, NO!
WE HAVE TO DAZZLE THEM.
CAPTURE THE CUSTOMERS'
IMAGINATION.
Ladonna says WE SELL MUFFINS
SHAPED LIKE CAMELS.
Muffy says NICE, BUT THE MUFFIN TRAYS
WOULD COST A BUNDLE,
AND WE DON'T
HAVE THE OVERHEAD.
BARNES, WHAT DO YOU GOT?
Binky says NO HOMEWORK.
OH, SORRY.
I WAS STILL THINKING
ABOUT THE FACT
THAT YOU GET A WHOLE
WEEK WITHOUT HOMEWORK.
Muffy says RELAX. MR. RATBURN SAID
I HAVE TO GIVE A PRESENTATION
ON THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE
WHEN I GET BACK.
NOW, FOCUS!
Binky says OKAY, OKAY.
UM...WHAT ABOUT
CHINESE DUMPLINGS?
Sue Ellen says BINKY, IT'S A BAKE SALE.
Binky says SO? WE'LL BAKE THE DUMPLINGS.
Muffy says NO TO THE DUMPLINGS.
BUT YOU'VE GIVEN ME
AN IDEA.
WE DO A REGIONAL CUISINE.
Binky says RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I MEANT.
Muffy says WE'LL SELL ITALIAN PASTRIES.
THERE'S ROMANCE
IN A CANNOLI.
LADONNA, YOU DO THE BAKING.
SUE ELLEN,
YOU DECORATE.
AND BINKY,
YOU HANDLE THE MUSIC.
Binky says CAN I PLAY ANYTHING I WANT?
Muffy says SURE, SO LONG AS IT'S
19TH CENTURY ITALIAN OPERA.
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
YOU'VE GOT YOUR ASSIGNMENTS.
GET TO WORK.
(door opening)
Muffy leaves.
Ladonna says WHAT'S A CANNOLI?
Muffy and Francine walk out of the school.
Muffy says DADDY SAID PACK LIGHT,
SO I'M ONLY BRINGING
THREE SUITCASES.
BUT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD PACK
MY BALL GOWN?
HELLO?
EARTH TO FRANCINE?
Francine says OH, SORRY.
SURE, BRING THE GOWN.
Muffy says WHAT'S WRONG?
Francine says IT'S JUST CATHERINE.
SHE PROMISED TO TAKE ME BOWLING
THIS WEEKEND,
BUT NOW SHE'S BACKING OUT.
LIKE ALWAYS.
Muffy says WELL, LUCKY FOR YOU,
YOU HAVE A BEST FRIEND
WITH LOTS OF OLDER BROTHER
EXPERIENCE.
YOU HAVE TO PLAY
HARD TO GET.
Francine says REALLY?
Muffy says IT NEVER FAILS.
JUST IGNORE HER,
AND SHE'LL BE BEGGING
TO HANG OUT WITH YOU.
Francine says I GUESS IT'S WORTH A SHOT.
Muffy sighs and says WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO WITHOUT ME?
(camera shutters clicking)
Muffy and her dad visit Italy’s most famous monuments. They take pictures and eat pasta.
Then, in the limousine, Ed checks the pictures on Muffy’s cell phone and says THAT'LL BE ONE BOFFO
PRESENTATION, MUFFSTER.
Muffy says THANKS, DADDY.
I'M JUST SAD THAT JET LAG
MADE ME SLEEP LATE.
I HOPE THEY REMEMBERED
EVERYTHING FOR THE BAKE SALE.
(indistinct chattering)
Back at school, Muffy says WHAT'S GOING ON?
Sue Ellen says MUFFY, THE SALE
IS DOING GREAT.
WE'VE ALREADY RAISED ENOUGH TO
BUY A NEW CURTAIN FOR THE STAGE.
Muffy says I KNEW IT.
YOU CAN'T BEAT THE ALLURE
OF AN ITALIAN PASTRY.
I BROUGHT MORE,
STRAIGHT FROM ITALY.
Sue Ellen says OH, WE'RE NOT SELLING
ITALIAN PASTRIES.
Muffy says WHAT?
Sue Ellen says SINCE WE DIDN'T KNOW
HOW TO MAKE CANNOLI,
LADONNA SUGGESTED A DESERT
FROM HER HOMETOWN INSTEAD.
Ladonna says NEW ORLEANS BEIGNETS.
HEY, MY CHERES.
HAVE A SWEET TREAT
FROM THE BIG EASY.
Muffy says I'LL PASS.
Buster says I'LL TAKE IT.
IT'S LIKE EATING A CLOUD.
Sue Ellen says WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF MY DECORATIONS?
PRETTY EYE-CATCHING, HUH?
Muffy says BUT THIS DOESN'T
EVOKE ITALY.
Sue Ellen says WELL, NO, BUT LADONNA SAID THESE
MASKS AND FEATHERS
REALLY DO EVOKE LOUISIANA.
Ladonna says YEAH, AND PEOPLE
LOVE THEM.
Muffy says BUT...BUT...
(jazzy music playing)
Kids queue in Ladonna’s stall.
Muffy says WHAT IS THAT?
Binky stops playing the clarinet and says DIXIELAND JAZZ.
Muffy says WE AGREED ON OPERA.
Buster says HERE, TAKE ALL MY MONEY.
I NEED MORE
CHEWY CLOUDS.
Sue Ellen says AREN'T YOU HAPPY?
IT'S A HUGE SUCCESS.
Muffy says NO, IT ISN'T.
IT'S A DISASTER!
She leaves crying.
Muffy runs into the classroom and says FRANCINE!
THANK GOODNESS!
I REALLY NEED TO TALK.
DID YOU SEE
WHAT THEY DID?
THEY IGNORED
ALL MY SUGGESTIONS.
Francine removes her earphones and says HEY, YOU'RE BACK.
SORRY, I WAS LISTENING TO THIS
NEW ORLEANS JAZZ BINKY GAVE ME.
I'M REALLY INTO IT.
WHAT WERE YOU SAYING?
Muffy says OH, JUST SOMETHING
ABOUT THE BAKE SALE.
Francine says WASN'T IT GREAT?
Muffy says NO. NOT YOU TOO.
Francine says NOT ME WHAT?
(bell ringing)
Muffy says CAN I START MY PRESENTATION
NOW, MR. RATBURN?
Ratburn turns the lights off and Muffy shows her pictures.
Muffy says THIS IS THE TOWER OF PISA,
WHERE GALILEO DID SOME
SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS.
BUT THE IMPORTANT THING IS,
HE WAS RIGHT.
AND NO ONE LISTENED TO HIM.
NO ONE!
THIS IS A BIG SQUARE
IN VENICE,
WHERE LOTS OF FAMOUS RENAISSANCE
FIGURES WOULD SIT
AND EAT CANNOLI,
BECAUSE THEY'RE DELICIOUS!
AND THIS IS THE STATUE
BY THE GREAT RENAISSANCE ARTIST
MICHELANGELO,
WHO WAS ALSO FAMOUS
FOR HIS AMAZING BAKE SALES!
Sue Ellen says UH, I DON'T THINK
THAT'S ACCURATE.
Muffy says YES, IT IS.
AND TOMORROW, I'M GOING TO THROW
A GENIUS BAKE SALE.
AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE
MORE MONEY
THAN THE CRUMMY ONE
WE HAD TODAY.
THE END!
Furious, Muffy goes back to her seat and crosses her arms.
Later, Muffy stands by a stall wearing a long pink dress. A sign reads "Muffy’s cannolis imported from Italy."
Muffy says CANNOLI?
TAKE YOU MOUTH
ON A TRIP TO ITALY.
Francine says I'LL TAKE ONE.
Muffy says SI, SIGNORA.
PAISAN!
Wearing a hat and a red scarf around his neck, Buster offers a cannoli to Francine.
Francine says UM, THEY'RE A LITTLE STALE.
HOW MANY HAVE YOU SOLD?
Muffy says COUNTING YOURS? ONE.
Buster says I'LL TAKE ONE.
Muffy says TWO!
SEE? NOW WE'RE COOKING.
Buster says ONLY I SPENT ALL MY MONEY
ON BEIGNETS.
Muffy says OH, YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE.
JUST EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT.
Buster says OH, I'M NOT GOING
TO EAT IT.
I'M GOING TO PUT IT
IN MY CABINET OF CURIOSITIES.
Muffy says OH, THIS BAKE SALE
IS A BUST.
I GUESS THEY DIDN'T REALLY
NEED MY HELP AFTER ALL.
IN FACT, NO ONE NEEDS ME.
Francine says THAT'S NOT TRUE.
I DO.
Muffy says YOU DO?
OH, YEAH!
I GAVE YOU THAT GREAT ADVICE
ABOUT CATHERINE.
DID YOU IGNORE HER
LIKE I TOLD YOU?
Francine says UM, NO.
WE JUST TALKED ABOUT IT INSTEAD,
AND SHE CHANGED HER PLANS
AND WENT BOWLING WITH ME.
Muffy sobs and says SEE? I AM USELESS!
CIAO, LAKEWOOD.
REMEMBER ME!
Francine says MUFFY, WAIT.
YOU'RE OVERREACTING.
Next, Muffy lies on her bed.
Muffy says BAILEY, COULD YOU TELL DADDY
I'M FEELING SICK?
I DON'T THINK I CAN
GO TO SCHOOL TODAY.
She coughs and continues
AT LEAST YOU STILL NEED ME,
WALDO.
She squeezes an elephant toy.
Now, the kids gather in a park.
Buster says AMAZING.
I THINK THIS CANNOLI
HAS THE SAME DENSITY AS WOOD.
Sue Ellen says WHERE'S MUFFY?
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A BAKE
SALE COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY
TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO
WITH THE LEFTOVER MONEY.
Francine says I THINK SHE'S OUT SICK.
BUSTER, CAN I BORROW
YOUR PHONE?
(phone ringing)
Muffy says HELLO?
Francine says HEY, IT'S ME. ARE YOU OKAY?
YOU WANT ME TO BRING YOU
YOUR HOMEWORK?
Muffy says WHY BOTHER?
WHAT'S THE POINT OF SCHOOL
IF YOU DON'T MATTER
TO ANYONE?
Francine says OH, BROTHER.
ARE YOU STILL UPSET
ABOUT YESTERDAY?
Muffy says NO. MAYBE.
ANYWAY, WHY DO YOU CARE?
SOON, I'LL JUST BE
A MEMORY.
ARRIVEDERCI,
MY FRIEND.
Muffy ends the call.
Sue Ellen says IS SHE SICK?
Francine says YEAH, SHE HAS A BROKEN EGO.
Binky says WHOA! IS SHE GOING
TO GET A CAST?
Ladonna says I THINK FRANCINE MEANS
HER PRIDE IS HURT,
BECAUSE WE DIDN'T TAKE HER
SUGGESTIONS FOR THE BAKE SALE.
Sue Ellen says BUT WE DID.
I MEAN, MAYBE NOT
ALL OF THEM,
BUT DOING A REGIONAL CUISINE
WAS HER IDEA.
Binky says I WOULDN'T HAVE PLAYED ANY MUSIC
UNLESS SHE HAD MENTIONED IT.
Francine says AND SHE DID ACTUALLY
HELP ME WITH CATHERINE.
I DIDN'T KNOW HOW UPSET I WAS
UNTIL I TALKED
TO MUFFY ABOUT IT.
Ladonna says SHOULD WE JUST GO OVER
AND TALK TO HER?
Francine says YES.
BUT YOU MAY WANT TO ADD
A LITTLE DRAMA.
Muffy uses a hair dryer on her toy and says WHY, YES, I CAN SUGGEST
A GOOD HAIR PRODUCT
FOR YOUR FUR, WALDO.
(knocking on door)
Sue Ellen says MUFFY!
IT'S ME, SUE ELLEN.
CAN I COME IN?
Muffy says UH, ONE MOMENT.
Muffy goes back to bed and says ENTER.
Sue Ellen says OH, IT'S JUST TERRIBLE.
TERRIBLE.
Muffy says WHAT IS IT?
THERE WAS MONEY LEFTOVER
FROM THE BAKE SALE.
SO WE THOUGHT WE'D DECORATE
THE STAGE CURTAIN.
BUT LADONNA AND BINKY
HAVE GOTTEN
INTO A HUGE FIGHT
ABOUT IT.
Binky says WE'RE PAINTING
WRESTLERS ON IT.
END OF STORY.
Ladonna says OH, NOT ON MY WATCH,
YOU PIE-FACED POSSUM.
WRESTLING ISN'T EVEN
A REAL SPORT.
Binky gasps and says YOU TAKE THAT BACK,
COMPSON.
Ladonna says TRY AND MAKE ME, PEACHES.
Muffy says STOP! STOP!
HAVE YOU TWO
LOST YOUR MINDS?
Sue Ellen says MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST
GIVE THE MONEY AWAY.
Muffy says NO! DECORATING THE CURTAIN
IS A GREAT IDEA.
BUT YOU HAVE TO LISTEN
TO EACH OTHER.
Binky says I DON'T SUPPOSE
YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS.
Ladonna says SURE COULD USE
A LITTLE HELP.
Muffy says AS IT SO HAPPENS, I JUST MIGHT
HAVE AN IDEA OR TWO.
Sue Ellen says OH, THANK YOU.
YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW MUCH
THIS COMMITTEE NEEDS YOU.
Muffy says OKAY, ENOUGH LOLLYGAGGING.
LET'S WALK AND TALK.
BARNES, BATHROBE, PRONTO.
NOW, WE WANT IT TO BE COLOURFUL,
BUT NOT GARISH.
THE THEATRICAL EVENT STARTS
WHEN YOU ENTER THE THEATRE.
IDEAS, PEOPLE.
IDEAS.
Binky says SO ARE WRESTLERS
COMPLETELY OUT OF THE QUESTION?
A blue patterned slate with kids showing a poster appears. A title reads "A Word From Us Kids."
Kids say AND NOW, A WORD FROM US KIDS.
A blond girl says NEXT UP ON
ARTHUR,
JOHN LEWIS VISITS
ARTHUR'S SCHOOL.
A girl with black hair says HERE'S WHAT WE'VE LEARNED
ABOUT JOHN LEWIS.
WE MADE POSTERS, WE MADE MAPS,
WE DID RESEARCH
TO LEARN ABOUT JOHN LEWIS.
A girl with two long braids says HE WORKED IN
THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT
WITH DR. MARTIN
LUTHER KING, JR.,
AND HE HELPED CREATE
EQUAL RIGHTS.
The girl with black hair says JOHN LEWIS IS AN ACTIVIST.
AN ACTIVIST IS SOMEBODY
WHO'S INVOLVED
IN CHANGING THE WORLD.
Gil 1 says STARTING IN THE EARLY 1960S,
HE ORGANIZED PROTESTS
AGAINST SEGREGATION.
UNDER SEGREGATION, BLACK PEOPLE
WEREN'T GETTING TREATED
THE SAME WAY
AS WHITE PEOPLE.
An animation shows a man walking down a timeline followed by protesters.
The girl with black hair says HE THOUGHT IT WASN'T FAIR
THAT BLACK PEOPLE
COULD NOT DO THINGS
THAT WHITE PEOPLE COULD DO.
The girl with two long braids says JOHN LEWIS WAS PART
OF THE MARCH FROM SELMA
TO MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA.
Gil 2 says IT WAS ONE OF THE STATES
THAT MADE IT REALLY HARD
FOR BLACK PEOPLE TO VOTE.
THE MARCH WAS A PROTEST
AGAINST THAT.
Gil 3 says JOHN LEWIS WAS BEATEN BY POLICE,
AND HE WAS ARRESTED.
FINALLY, THE SELMA MARCH
HELPED CHANGE THE LAWS.
The blond girl says JOHN LEWIS AND THE OTHER
ACTIVISTS,
THEY PROTESTED
FOR THEIR RIGHTS.
AND EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE
TRIED TO STOP THEM,
AND EVEN HURT THEM,
THEY KEPT ON TRYING
AND KEPT ON GOING.
Kids’ homemade posters show black and white pictures of the activist mentioned.
The girl with black hair says HE DID NONVIOLENT PROTESTS.
A boy says JOHN LEWIS DID NOT WANT
TO HURT PEOPLE.
HE JUST WANTED
TO GET HIS MESSAGE ACROSS.
Gil 4 says AND NOW HE IS A CONGRESSMAN,
AND HE LIVES IN GEORGIA.
A girl wearing a yellow jacket says IF JOHN LEWIS
CAME TO MY CLASSROOM,
I WOULD TELL HIM, THANK YOU
FOR MAKING THE WORLD BETTER.
Kids say AND NOW, BACK TO
ARTHUR.
George plays the xylophone in Miss Tingley’s office. She wears a lilac jacket and has gray curly hair.
Miss Tingley says THANK YOU, GEORGE.
She picks up a microphone and says AHEM.
I HAVE TWO IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
ONE, STARTING TOMORROW,
BREAKFAST WILL BE SERVED
IN THE CAFETERIA.
(all cheering)
Buster says MY WISH WAS GRANTED.
Miss Tingley continues THE SECOND IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT IS,
NEXT WEEK, WE WILL HAVE
A GUEST SPEAKER
COMING TO THE SCHOOL.
DRUMROLL, PLEASE.
George plays drums on the desk.
She continues CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS,
FROM GEORGIA.
Ladonna says YOU MEAN THE JOHN LEWIS?
Arthur says WHO'S JOHN LEWIS?
Sue Ellen says HE WAS A REALLY IMPORTANT
CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER
IN THE 1960S,
AND CHALLENGED THE LACK
OF EQUAL RIGHTS
FOR BLACK AMERICANS.
Ladonna says YEAH. HE HELPED GUARANTEE
THAT EVERYONE COULD VOTE.
HE ALSO WROTE THIS REALLY COOL
GRAPHIC NOVEL, CALLED
MARCH.
I HAVE IT AT HOME.
Arthur says WOW.
Miss Tingley says THAT IS ALL.
BE SAFE AND HAVE
A STUDIOUS DAY.
(harmonica playing)
Miss Tingley says NO HARMONICA.
I THOUGHT WE AGREED.
Embarrassed, George stops playing and nods.
A green patterned slate appears. It reads "Arthur takes a stand."
A caption under it reads "written by Peter Hirsch-Storyboard by Cilbur Rocha."
Mrs. MacGrady walks out of her house and yawns. She arrives at school at 7:00 am and starts cooking.
(bell dinging)
(sizzling)
An hour later, Mrs. MacGrady serves breakfast to the kids.
Francine says THIS OATMEAL
SMELLS AMAZING.
Mrs. MacGrady says IT'S EVEN BETTER
WITH A FEW SLICED ALMONDS.
Muffy says AND THIS OMELETTE
IS SO GOURMET.
DOES IT COME WITH JUST
EGG WHITES?
Mrs. MacGrady says IF YOU DON'T MIND WAITING,
I CAN WHIP ONE UP IN NO TIME.
Ladonna says MRS. MACGRADY, CAN I HAVE
THE RECIPE FOR THESE OAT SCONES?
Mrs. MacGrady says SURE THING.
THE KEY IS TO USE ROLLED OATS.
Binky says MRS. MACGRADY,
GREAT FRUIT SALAD.
CAN I GET MORE PINEAPPLE?
Mrs. MacGrady says GLAD YOU LIKE IT.
JUST GIVE ME TWO SHAKES
OF A LAMB'S TAIL.
THERE'S ONLY ONE OF ME,
AFTER ALL.
Later, Mrs. MacGrady cleans the tables and rests a little.
Arthur says MRS. MACGRADY.
Mrs. MacGrady says HUH? YES, PRESENT.
OH, HI, ARTHUR.
WE'RE PLUM OUT OF SCONES.
BUT THERE'S SOME
BANANA BREAD LEFT.
Arthur says I'M NOT HUNGRY.
I JUST LEFT
MY NOTEBOOK HERE.
BREAKFAST WAS GREAT.
I HAD NO IDEA
SO MANY KIDS WOULD COME.
Mrs. MacGrady says ME NEITHER.
NOW, IF I CAN ONLY
TURN MYSELF INTO AN OCTOPUS,
WE'LL BE ALL SET.
Arthur says HUH?
I NEED MORE ARMS.
DON'T YOU HAVE
ANY HELP?
Mrs. MacGrady says NOPE.
I PUT IN A REQUEST
WITH MISS TINGLEY,
BUT I HAVEN'T
HEARD BACK YET.
OH, WELL.
I'D BETTER GET STARTED
ON LUNCH.
THAT CHILLI ISN'T GOING
TO MAKE ITSELF.
Next, Arthur talks to his friends at the cafeteria.
Arthur says SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY HELP.
THINK ABOUT PREPARING TWO
MEALS A DAY FOR ALL THESE KIDS.
Muffy says WELL, WHATEVER MRS. MACGRADY
IS DOING, IT'S WORKING.
THIS CHILLI IS DIVINE.
Buster says SHE SHOULD JUST MAKE ONE THING
AND SERVE IT FOR BOTH MEALS.
LIKE MEAT LOAF.
Francine says MEAT LOAF?
FOR BREAKFAST?
Buster says WHAT? IT'S LIKE A MEAT
PANCAKE.
ESPECIALLY IF YOU PUT
SYRUP ON IT.
Muffy and Arthur say YUCK!
Francine says ARTHUR'S RIGHT.
IT ISN'T RIGHT
THAT MRS. MACGRADY
SHOULD HAVE TO DO
ALL THIS ALONE.
Arthur says LET'S GO SEE MISS TINGLEY
AFTER SCHOOL.
I BET WE CAN CONVINCE HER
TO HIRE SOMEONE.
Next, Arthur waits in the hallway.
Arthur says BUSTER, THERE YOU ARE.
WHERE IS EVERYONE?
Buster says OH, RIGHT. WE WERE GOING
TO SEE MISS TINGLEY.
I COMPLETELY FORGOT.
I HAVE A DENTIST
APPOINTMENT NOW.
Arthur says WHAT ABOUT FRANCINE
AND MUFFY?
Buster says I SAW THEM LEAVING.
THEY MUST HAVE
FORGOTTEN TOO.
SORRY.
Arthur exhales and walks into Miss Tingley’s office.
Miss Tingley says THERE'S JUST SO MUCH TO DO
FOR CONGRESSMAN LEWIS'S VISIT.
I WANT THE SCHOOL
TO LOOK EXTRA NICE FOR HIM.
Arthur says ACTUALLY, I'M HERE TO TALK
ABOUT MRS. MACGRADY.
IS SHE GOING TO GET
ANY HELP?
Miss Tingley says I'D LOVE TO HIRE HER
AN ASSISTANT,
BUT THE SCHOOL BOARD GIVES US
A LIMITED AMOUNT OF MONEY,
AND WE JUST DON'T
HAVE THE BUDGET FOR IT.
Arthur says COULDN'T WE WRITE THEM A LETTER
ASKING FOR A LITTLE MORE?
Miss Tingley says WELL, THAT CERTAINLY
IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
WHO KNEW BREAKFAST
WOULD BE SUCH A HIT?
DID YOU TRY THE OAT SCONES?
Arthur says NO, BUT...
Miss Tingley says OH, THEY'RE JUST DELICIOUS.
I DON'T KNOW
HOW SHE DOES IT.
SORRY I'M SO DISTRACTED.
I REALLY ENJOYED OUR CHAT,
ARTHUR.
Arthur and Sue Ellen take a walk.
Arthur says WHAT IF MR. RATBURN HAD
TO TEACH TWICE AS MANY CLASSES?
I BET HE'D GET
AN ASSISTANT.
Sue Ellen says I KNOW. IT'S SO UNFAIR.
MAYBE WE SHOULD BOYCOTT
THE SCHOOL.
Arthur says WHAT'S A BOYCOTT?
Sue Ellen says IT'S WHEN YOU REFUSE
TO USE SOMETHING
UNTIL YOUR DEMANDS ARE MET.
IT'S ONE OF THE TACTICS
MARTIN LUTHER KING
AND JOHN LEWIS USED
IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.
Arthur says I DON'T THINK
WE SHOULD DO THAT.
I LIKE SCHOOL.
BUT THAT GIVES ME
AN IDEA.
Arthur leaves notes on all the lockers.
Mrs. MacGrady reads the note and says BOYCOTT
BREAKFAST. IT’S NOT FAIR TO
MRS. MACGRADY.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
Arthur says I MADE IT.
Mrs. MacGrady says WELL, FOR THE LOVE
OF (UNCLEAR).
WHY?
Arthur says SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE
SO MUCH WORK.
Mrs. MacGrady says ARTHUR, SERVING BREAKFAST
WAS MY IDEA.
Arthur says IT WAS?
Mrs. MacGrady says YUP. THERE ARE KIDS HERE
WHOSE FAMILIES
CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE THEM
A PROPER BREAKFAST.
THEY NEED THIS.
Arthur says BUT YOU CAN'T DO IT
ALL ALONE.
YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.
YOU NEED MORE ARMS.
Mrs. MacGrady says IT'S TRUE.
TUSSLED WITH A TOASTER
THIS MORNING.
THIS TIME, HE WON.
She shows her bandaged index finger.
Arthur says SO, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?
Mrs. MacGrady says I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS I'LL JUST
HAVE TO MANAGE SOMEHOW.
Arthur reads at the library. Then, he imagines him and the kids listening to an announcement at school.
Miss Tingley says I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE
THAT THE CAFETERIA
WILL BE OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY.
YOU CAN ALL HAVE DINNER
RIGHT NOW.
(all cheering)
Buster says DINNER! I'M STARVING!
Arthur says BUT YOU JUST
HAD BREAKFAST.
Kids say MRS. MACGRADY...
Muffy says MRS. MACGRADY,
MY STEAKS ARE OVERDONE!
Buster says MORE SYRUP.
I NEED MORE SYRUP.
Arthur says GUYS, CALM DOWN.
MRS. MACGRADY CAN'T HANDLE
ALL THIS.
Mrs. MacGrady says WELL, I DID GET
AN ASSISTANT.
BUT NOW I DON'T HAVE
THE TIME TO TRAIN HIM.
A purple octopus washes the dishes and throws them away.
Arthur says IT'S NOT FAIR!
IT'S NOT FAIR!
Arthur wakes up and says STOP.
IT'S NOT FAIR.
Lewis sits in front of Arthur. He wears a blue suit.
Lewis says NO, THIS REALLY
ISN'T FAIR.
MAKING THIS LIBRARY
SO WARM AND COZY
MAKES ME WANT TO NAP TOO.
Arthur says OH, SORRY.
I DIDN'T SLEEP MUCH
LAST NIGHT.
Lewis says YOU WERE HAVING
QUITE A NIGHTMARE, SON.
Arthur says IT WAS ABOUT OUR LUNCH LADY.
Lewis says SOUNDS FRIGHTENING.
KNEW A COOK ONCE WHO COULD RUIN
A JELLY SANDWICH.
DIDN'T THINK
IT WAS POSSIBLE.
Arthur says NO, SHE'S THE BEST.
SHE NEEDS HELP,
BUT MY SCHOOL
WON'T HIRE ANYONE.
IT MAKES ME REALLY MAD.
ANYWAY, I GUESS
IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM.
Lewis says MAYBE. THEN AGAIN,
IF IT'S GNAWING
AT YOUR CONSCIENCE,
MAYBE IT IS YOUR PROBLEM.
Arthur says BUT WHAT CAN I DO?
I ALREADY TRIED TALKING
TO THE PRINCIPAL.
Lewis says SOMETIMES, PEOPLE DON'T HEAR
THE FIRST TIME.
YOU HAVE TO BE PERSISTENT.
BUT IF THIS MEANS A LOT TO YOU,
DO NOT GIVE UP.
HOLD YOUR GROUND.
A PERSON WITH CONVICTION
CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
OH, COULD YOU DIRECT ME
TO A FLORIST?
I HAVE TO BUY SOME FLOWERS
FOR AN OLD FRIEND.
Next, the kids have lunch.
Buster says WELL, TIME FOR CLASS.
I BET WE HAVE A QUIZ TODAY.
MY ELBOW FEELS FUNNY.
Arthurs sees Mrs. MacGrady yawning behind a counter.
Buster says AREN'T YOU COMING?
Arthur says NO.
Francine says WHAT? WHY NOT?
Arthur says I'M NOT MOVING FROM THIS CHAIR
UNTIL MISS TINGLEY AGREES
TO HIRE AN ASSISTANT
FOR MRS. MACGRADY.
Muffy says THAT'S SILLY.
HOW IS YOU GETTING IN TROUBLE
GOING TO HELP HER?
Francine says COME ON, I'M SURE HE'LL GIVE UP
IN A FEW MINUTES.
Mrs. MacGrady says ARTHUR, YOU'D BETTER HURRY.
CLASS HAS STARTED.
Arthur says I'M NOT MOVING.
NOT UNTIL YOU GET
SOME HELP.
Mrs. MacGrady says WELL, THAT'S VERY SWEET OF YOU,
BUT I CAN FIGHT MY OWN BATTLES.
Arthur says IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT YOU.
WHAT THE SCHOOL IS DOING
IS WRONG.
DON'T YOU THINK
IT'S WRONG?
Mrs. MacGrady says WELL, YES, BUT...
OH, FIDDLE-FADDLE.
WHEN YOU'RE RIGHT,
YOU'RE RIGHT.
Mrs. MacGrady sits too.
Sue Ellen says SOMEONE SAID YOU WERE PROTESTING
UNFAIR WORKING CONDITIONS.
CAN I JOIN IN?
THIS IS SO EXCITING.
WE'RE HAVING A SIT-IN.
Arthur says WE ARE?
Later, Francine says WOW, HE'S STILL AT IT.
Muffy says I KNOW.
AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE
MAGAZINES AND FOOTRESTS.
More students join and sit at Arthur’s table.
Muffy says FRANCINE, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
Muffy sighs and, as she takes a selfie says FIGHT THE POWER.
(camera beeps, shutters click)
Miss Tingley walks in and says WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?
Arthur says MRS. MACGRADY NEEDS HELP.
I KNOW YOU SAID
WE CAN'T AFFORD IT,
BUT WE NEED TO FIND
THE MONEY SOMEHOW.
Mrs. MacGrady says I REALLY AM SHORTHANDED.
Miss Tingley says I'LL CERTAINLY
CONSIDER IT.
NOW, PLEASE,
RETURN TO CLASS AT ONCE.
Arthur shakes his head gesturing "no."
Mrs. MacGrady says I'M SORRY, CECILIA,
BUT WE'RE GOING TO NEED
A GUARANTEE.
Carrying a bunch of flowers, Lewis says EXCUSE ME, MA'AM,
DO YOU KNOW WHERE I MIGHT FIND
A MISS LEAH MRS. MACGRADY?
Miss Tingley says CONGRESSMAN LEWIS!
Mrs. MacGrady says JOHN, YOU OLD
TROUBLEMAKER.
GET OVER HERE.
Lewis laughs and says (UNCLEAR) MACGRADY,
YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT
SINCE THE MARCH
ON WASHINGTON.
They hug.
Arthur says YOU'RE CONGRESSMAN LEWIS?
Lewis says SO THEY KEEP
TELLING ME.
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
ARE WE HAVING A SIT-IN?
HOW COME NO ONE
CALLED ME?
Miss Tingley looks shocked.
Miss Tingley approaches Mrs. MacGrady and says YOU HAVE YOUR GUARANTEE.
I'LL WRITE TO THE SCHOOL BOARD
FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING.
MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO HELP ME
WRITE THE LETTER.
Arthur says SURE, I'D LOVE TO.
Lewis says THINK YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
NIGHTMARES AGAIN TONIGHT?
Arthur says NOPE.
Lewis says ME NEITHER.
THERE'S NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT
THAN FOLLOWING YOUR CONSCIENCE.
IF YOU CAN DO THAT,
YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING
TO SLEEP WELL.
Lewis winks an eye.
A title reads "Special appearance by Rep. John Lewis."
The end credits roll as the theme song plays.
The song plays LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
LISTEN TO THE BEAT
LISTEN TO THE RHYTHM,
THE RHYTHM OF THE STREET
OPEN UP YOUR EYES,
OPEN UP YOUR EARS
GET TOGETHER AND MAKE THINGS
BETTER BY WORKING TOGETHER
IT'S A SIMPLE MESSAGE
YEAH, AND IT COMES
FROM THE HEART
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
(BELIEVE IN YOURSELF)
FOR THAT'S THE PLACE
TO START.
