( Dad clears throat ) ATTENTION EVERYONE.
IT'S TIME WE GOT STARTED ON THOSE PRESENTS.
FINALLY!
Arthur: WAIT A MINUTE.
I'LL BE BACK.
WAIT FOR ME.
OH, THIS IS GOING TO BE SO GOOD!
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MOM'S EXPRESSION!
( Mom gasps ) THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!
IT'S THE BEST PRESENT I'VE EVER RECEIVED.
ARTHUR, YOU'RE PERFECT!
SHE'S RIGHT, ARTHUR.
YOU ARE PERFECT.
YOU'RE A GRADE-A GRANDSON!
HERE, DEAR IT'S THE LITTLE ANGEL AWARD... WOW!
A SPECIAL PRIZE ONLY GIVEN TO PERFECT CHILDREN!
D.W.: WHAT ABOUT ME, GRANDMA?
AREN'T I PERFECT, TOO?
YOU'RE ALMOST PERFECT, HONEY!
WE BETTER HURRY OR WE'LL BE LATE FOR THE PARADE.
( marching band playing, crowd cheering ) Announcer ( over loudspeaker ): What a turnout for this "Heroes of the 20th Century" Parade.
There's Albert Einstein moving much slower than the speed of light and Mahatma Gandhi, showing no resistance-- passive or otherwise-- to this adoring crowd.
And is that...
Yes!
Yes, it is!
It's the Arthur Read balloon!
( cheering ) The crowd is going wild, and with good reason!
Arthur is the perfect eight-year-old boy!
All ( chanting ): AR-THUR!
AR-THUR!
AR-THUR!
AR-THUR!
AR-THUR!
AR-THUR!
AR-THUR!
AR-THUR!
AR-THUR!
AR-THUR!
AR-THUR... ( panting )
