BRAIN: Arthur?
BRAIN: Arthur, are you all right?
I guess I can't talk and run at the same time.
BRAIN: Oh, well, let's just sit over here.
Do I look... husky to you guys?
Husky?
Husky?!
You, husky?
Nah, you don't look husky.
( softly ): What's "husky"?
It means I'm fat.
I had to get new pants yesterday-- husky pants.
Oh.
You don't seem surprised.
Well, you're definitely not fat, but you are out of breath, and there has been... more of you lately.
This is horrible!
What am I going to do?
I've got it!
This is easy.
You just need to go on a diet.
( grunts ) A diet?
Don't worry-- I know just what to do.
I'm an expert on diets.
My mom's been on hundreds of them.
BUSTER: Now, on the Barleycorn diet you can eat bacon, eggs, cheese and hamburgers, but no bread.
On the Bushman's diet, you eat seeds, berries, and whatever you can pick from a bush or hunt with a bow and arrow.
Or maybe you want the Jackpot diet.
You only eat boiled cabbage three times a day, except Sunday, when you can eat anything you want.
How do you know which diet to pick?
Aah, it doesn't matter.
None of them work.
My mom says no matter how much weight she loses on a diet, she always gains it back.
D.W.: That's your after-school snack?!
No wonder you need husky pants.
According to this book, diets aren't for kids unless prescribed by a doctor.
So what am I supposed to do?
Just stay fat?
You're not fat; you're just a little... husky.
BRAIN: It says here instead of dieting, you should eat a variety of foods-- in other words, make better choices.
Eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of candy and stay away from sugary drinks-- drink more water.
Don't worry, Arthur, I'll help you, and I'll start by getting rid of these.
Oops.
