ARTHUR (over TV): Hey, D.W.!

Hey!

Whoa!

(loud thud) (letters shattering) What are you doing?

(hiccups) Besides messing up your room.

None of your business.

(hiccups) And stop hiccuping, okay?

You're driving me nuts!

(hiccups) You know how some kids dress up as kitty cats and fairies on Halloween?

Well, that's not what Halloween's about.

I'll show you what I mean.

(doorbell rings) ALL: Twick or tweat!

Oh, look.

You are so cute!

ARTHUR: Wrong!

See, on Halloween, you're supposed to look like monsters.

You're supposed to scare people.

Try again.

(doorbell rings) Twick or tweat?

There you go.

Much better.

Scaring people on Halloween is an important tradition.

Plus, it's fun.

Watch this.

Wa-ha-ha-ha!

(laughing) Is that your idea of scary?

What's on your face?

Underpants?

(hiccups) Arthur?

Shh.

Check this out.

I'm going as Frankentist-- half Frankenstein, half dentist.

Scary, huh?

Not really.

I'm going to be a prom queen.

What's scary about that?

Trust me.

Me as a prom queen will be scary.

That's not half as scary as Candy Boy.

"Candy boy"?

He's a boy who never gets candy.

It makes him really mad.

So what's your costume, Brain?

I'm going as the 14th century.

This is the castle and these are the serfs and here's a village where false beliefs are taking hold.

The 14th century!

Don't you get it?

No hygiene, no moveable type, no science.

ARTHUR: Guess who's going to have the scariest costume this year.

Me.

Nuh-uh, Arthur.

(hiccups) I'm going to be way scarier than... (hiccups) you.

What could you possibly think of that's scarier than Frankentist?

Lots of things.

How about a hairless mouse?

Or a dog that walks on its hind legs?

Or a roller skate without shoelaces?

Or I could be a brown banana.

That's scary.

(hiccups) Mom, can you please make D.W. stop hiccuping?

She's been doing it since yesterday.

I can't... (hiccups) help it.

Did you try holding your breath, D.W.?

Maybe that will work.

Okay.

(breathes in) (squeaking and hissing) Cut it out.

That's worse than hiccuping.

Oops.

Sorry.

(hiccups) What's scarier: a crown or a tiara?

And why are you covered in crumbs?

It's all D.W.'s fault.

She's been hiccuping for two days and it's driving me crazy.

Well, curing hiccups is easy.

All you have to do is drink a glass of water upside down.

You mean you have to be upside down when you drink the water, or you have to hold the glass so it's upside down when you drink?

Beats me.

I've never had the hiccups.

Some scientists believe that if you scare someone, you can cause an esophageal contraction, and they'll stop hiccuping.

One plus zero is what?

(hiccups) Excellent!

Now girls and boys... let's try something harder, something that will stretch your little minds.

Argh!

(hiccups) Is that your idea of scary?

Ow.

(hiccups) D.W., isn't there any way you can stop hiccuping?

Nope.

She's tried everything.

Holding her breath, drinking water.

I don't know what else to do.

Brain told me to scare her, but it only made her hiccups worse.

That's because there's no way (hiccups) you could scare me.

You're too (hiccups) Arthury.

Okay, Arthur, if you really want to scare me... (hiccups) then here's my list of things that are scary.

Doob... bny?

Dark Bunny.

I've never (hiccups) seen it, but I've heard it's scary.

Oc-ps-ss?

Octopuses.

If one fell in my bath, I don't know what I would do!

This can't be right.

Number three looks like a cookie.

It is.

(hiccups) Eating a gingerbread man?

Ew.

How is that scary?

They're creepy.

Those little raisin eyes and fat legs... Keep reading.

Un... eye?

(sniffling) Uni.

(hiccups) Losing Uni.

No, having to give Uni to the Tibbles!

That'd be the scariest thing in the whole wide world!

D.W., why can't you be scared of normal stuff like aliens and cobwebs?

All right.

How about we start with number two?

I'm... (hiccups) ready!

Ready for the octopus.

D.W., it's not scary if you know an octopus is coming.

You have to be surprised.

Oh.

Okay (hiccups).

♪ La-di-da-di-da... ♪ (hiccups), ♪ I'm just sitting here in the tub ♪ ♪ Not waiting for an octopus... ♪ It's an octopus!

(yells) What is this?

(hiccups) It's a balloon with pipe cleaners.

Well, I didn't have an actual... Oh, all right.

Let's try Dark Bunny.

Okay, let's get this show on the road.

Before we start, do you need your blankie?

My blankie bit the dust a long time ago.

DARK BUNNY: I tell you, Mary, I have to change my evil ways.

But how?

It's easy to be good, Dark Bunny!

Just start by spelling the word "good."

G-O-O-D...

What?!

This can't be right.

"Friday on Dark Bunny: "Mary Moo Cow pays the Bad Bunny a visit..." (both singing): ♪ Being good is the best time... ♪ No!

Turn it off!

D.W.: Are you sure he won't be mad that I ate him?

Trust me.

I am 1,000% sure.

Okay (hiccups).

Here goes.

Head, eyes... not bad (hiccups).

Arms... um... legs... um... Arthur!

It's alive!

It's moving inside me!

It's a cookie, D.W.

Sit down.

He's mad!

I can feel it.

He's coming back up... (burps) (hiccups) (sighs) This is the last scary thing on your list.

It better work.

This is Uni.

And this is her Clothes-Horse, Horse-Clothes Barn, and her schoolhouse and Uni-cyle and pedal-action convertible, and don't you dare even touch her because as soon as I stop hiccuping I want her back.

That didn't seem too scary.

It was terrifying.

Poor Uni.

Will I ever get to see her blue hair again?

Will I ever get to crayon her face?

Did you hear that?

Hear what?

I'm not hiccuping anymore.

(cheering) We did it!

Hi, Arthur.

Hi, D.W. Look!

No hiccups.

Good for you.

You know, I was just reading about the world record holder for hiccups.

Some guy named Charles Osborne had the hiccups for 68 years.

Can you believe it?

Well, see you.

(hiccups) Oh, no!

Oh, no!

(crowd applauds and whistles) TV ANNOUNCER: We're here waiting to see if D.W. Read can set the world record for hiccups.

(hiccups) (audience cheering) Tell me, how does it feel to be this close to making history?

Terrible.

(hiccups) If you can continue hiccuping for another 30 seconds, then it will be officially 69 years since you started.

Which makes you, uh... let's see, 69... Old.

Right.

Very old.

Let's watch and see, shall we?

What's wrong?

I can't hiccup anymore.

Now you decide to stop?

It's a bust, folks.

(crowd groans) Go home.

D.W.: At least I don't need a Halloween costume this year.

(hiccups) I can just go as Hiccup Girl.

(hiccups) That's pretty scary, I have to admit.

(screeching meow) Why aren't you wearing a costume, D.W.?

I am.

I'm Hiccup Girl.

(hiccups): See?

Don't worry.

Your hiccups won't last forever.

No, just 69 years.

Give or take a few seconds.

I don't look scary at all.

I look weird.

It's not like this is a competition or anything.

Because if it was, you'd come in last.

Let's go, okay?

Candy Boy needs some candy.

Buster, are you sure you can see out of that mask?

Sure can.

BRAIN: Ow!

Watch it!

BUSTER: Sorry, Brain.

Oh, wonderful costumes, everybody!

Hey, what happened to the lights?

Oops, my broom unplugged the lamp.

Hold on a sec.

I have a flashlight.

(screams) Who are you?

What do you want?

Help!

It's me, D.W.!

Can't you tell?

That is the disgustingest costume I ever saw.

You scared me and I am never talking to you again.

D.W.: Arthur, they're gone!

This time the hiccups are really gone.

You did it!

I did?

You mean, I really am scary?

(doorbell rings) ALL: Twick or tweat!

Wow, nice costumes!

Just a moment.

(Arthur roars) (kids laugh) (groans) I knew it was too good to be true.

(hiccups) BUSTER: ♪ You're in them ♪ ♪ You shoot them ♪ ♪ You make them ♪ ♪ It's "Postcards from You" ♪ ♪ It's "Postcards from You"... ♪ This "Postcard from You" was made by kids at the Harvard Kent School in Charlestown, Massachusetts.

(moans) I think I ate too much.

I think I need to lay down.

Help.

I really need help.

My stomach hurts.

(action music plays) Who are you people?

I'm Captain Nutrition.

And I'm Fitness Queen.

She's been eating too much junk food.

I found these.

Here, try some of these.

Our next postcard comes from kids at the Boys' and Girls' Club in Lewiston, Idaho.

(rock guitar soloing) Hey!

Two girls.

I found a shell.

There's many types of birds.

There's... the... chicken, the... chickadee, the swallow, the... sparrow.

Golden eagle, bald eagle.

What is that?

It's a feather.

No, it's a piece of fur.

What do you think it's from?

It might be a fox because, um, I've seen foxes with that type of hair.

This could be, like, to a badger or something.

To see more "Postcards from You," visit pbskidsgo.org.

To see more postcards from you, visit: pbskids.org You're out!

No way.

I'm safe.

You're... out!

Told you.

Isn't it annoying when someone is always right?

(band playing badly) Francine usually is about sports.

With Binky, it's music.

(band playing wrong notes) No, no, no!

You came in too quickly, you're behind, and you're flat.

Let's try it again and with some enthusiasm.

(more lively playing) And Buster?

Buster is almost never wrong when it comes to candy.

Mmm...

The chocolate is dry and the nuts are stale.

I'd say this candy bar was left here... sometime in December.

Around the 15th.

Want it?

Eww!

Fortunately, no one is ever right about everything.

Excuse me, Arthur.

I hate to interrupt, but that last sentence was poorly constructed.

What do you mean?

You don't need to use both "ever" and "always."

It's redundant.

Strike!

That's just your opinion.

No, it says so right here in this Skunk and Blight Manual of English Usage.

Strike two!

Ahem!

Let me read from Chapter 7.

"When constructing a sentence, it is best to avoid redundancies whenever possible."

Pretty annoying, isn't it?

(crowd yelling) Arthur gets the mint chip, and Buster gets the double-dipped Mocha-lotion banana-banana-berry-blast- extra-jimmies-hold-the-cherry.

Ah... the #5.

Hey.

You want to see what I got my mom for her birthday?

(coughs) What is it?

A hat.

Oh.

I thought it might be something from your food collection.

What do you think?

(baby crying) Um... maybe it'll look better on your mother.

(door closes) Uh...

It looked okay in the store, but now I'm not so sure.

You could probably exchange it.

Will you come with me after school tomorrow?

There are so many hats to choose from in that place.

I get overwhelmed.

Sorry.

I have to help my dad clean out the garage.

How 'bout you, Brain?

Want to help me pick out a new hat for my mom?

Sure.

I'll be glad to help.

Hmm.

No.

Hmm.

No.

Too flowery.

Aha.

Buster, it's her birthday.

She's not graduating college.

Hey, what about this one?

It has a hole in it.

Maybe something's supposed to go there and it just fell off.

No, it's just a moth hole.

How about those Tyrolean hats?

Hey.

How about this one?

Pretty snazzy, eh?

I don't think so.

Now this...

This is perfect.

Well, what's wrong with this one?

There's too much orange in it.

Here.

Take this one.

Trust me.

I think you're wrong.

I think she'll love this one.

But this one matches her eyes.

Her eyes aren't green.

Yes, they are.

Oh, yeah.

They are.

Well, they're not that shade of green.

I'm buying this one.

Are you sure about this?

Brain, she's my own mother.

I think I know what she would like a little better than you.

Oh, my.

It's so... bold.

Do you like it?

I think it's wonderful.

Thank you so much, sweetie.

Try it on.

It'll be great for a party.

I better take it off now, though, so we don't get it dirty.

It's been almost a week, and she hasn't worn the hat.

I guess Brain was right.

As usual.

He's even right about things that aren't his business.

Doesn't it bug you sometimes?

No.

It bugs me.

Once, just once, I'd like to see him be wrong.

I'm sure Brain's been wrong plenty of times.

RATBURN: "A" again, Alan.

Excellent work.

Oh, yeah?

No one's perfect, Buster.

You're right.

One day, he has to slip up, and I'm going to be there when he does.

BRAIN: Hey, Buster.

What'll it be, a #5?

No, I'm trying something different today.

One scoop of Mellow Mint, one of Fudge Fiesta, pretzel smooshins, coconut sprinkles, hot fudge, whipped cream, four cherries and a teaspoon of rainbow jimmies.

And I'm in a rush.

Here you go.

That's $3.75, please.

It's perfect.

You want your change?

You gave me $3.95.

Hey, Brain, how's it going?

Say, do you know what the capital of Romania is?

Bucharest.

Why?

(footsteps running) How about Czechoslovakia?

There is no more Czechoslovakia.

It was split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Ha!

You're wrong!

It's Prague.

See?

That's the library's old atlas.

The new one's on the podium over there.

Why are you quizzing me?

Quizzing you?

(laughs) I'm not quizzing you.

Can't a kid just ask a question?

How about Bulgaria?

Sofia.

(phone rings) Alan?

Telephone for you.

BUSTER (with nasal voice): Good evening, sir.

Um, you have been randomly selected to win a prize if you correctly answer this question: What is the square root of 1,764?

Buster, why are you calling me at 9:30 at night?

Uh... sorry.

Wrong number.

(sighs) (phone rings) Hello?

42!

Oh!

(yawns) He'll slip up someday.

I know he will.

OLD BUSTER: Admit it!

I finally caught you.

No, you didn't.

You said it was going to rain today, and look-- not a cloud in the sky.

You were wrong.

I said it looked like rain.

It was just an opinion, not a fact.

Well, then, your opinion was wrong.

"If train A leaves the station at 8:45 "going 60 miles an hour, "and Train B leaves the station at 9:00 going 80 miles an hour..." I'm not going to answer you!

Why?

You're afraid you'll get it wrong, aren't you?

No, I'm just tired of you pestering me.

Is this all because you didn't take my advice about your mom's hat?

Arthur told me she didn't like that orange thing.

No!

Okay, it is.

There.

You're right again.

You're always right!

(groans) And I'm always wrong.

Gustave Eiffel designed many structures, but he's most famous for building which structure?

Yes, Alan?

The pyramids?

N-No.

Not even close.

It's the Eiffel Tower, of course.

Do you feel all right, Alan?

Fine.

I guess I just... made a mistake.

(gasps) Did you hear that?

Brain said he made a mistake.

(class whispering) Okay, let's settle down, everyone.

He was wrong?

Brain was really wrong?

(whoops) Finally!

RATBURN: And do you know the correct answer, Mr. Baxter?

Uh... 1492?

(girls giggling) Hey, Brain, you knew the answer to that question earlier, didn't you?

If I say yes, are you going to follow me until you catch me making a mistake?

No.

Sorry I've been such a pest.

I was just upset that I didn't pick something my mom liked.

I still am.

Maybe she can return it and get... That one!

Muffy, where'd you get that hat?

Oh, this?

Isn't it charmant?

I got it at The Clothing Exchange.

Buzz had a whole box of them.

(laughing) This one has a hole in it.

So does this one.

Wait, they all have holes in them.

That's because I haven't sewn these on yet.

The Beetle berets were discontinued because this jeweled bug kept falling out.

But if you use thicker thread, it works fine.

Like this one.

Buster, I was wrong, and you were right.

I thought it was a moth hole, remember?

Who cares?

I'll take it.

ARTHUR: Isn't it great?

And she was able to get some gloves for the other hat we returned.

Here you go.

This one's on the house.

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Baxter.

Thank you, Alan.

Uh, Brain?

This is a #5.

I ordered the #3.

Really?

I could have sworn you said... Oh, well, my mistake.

(chuckles) Just wanted to hear you say it.

Don't worry, Brain.

You were right.

Hi, everyone, it's me, Buster.

It seems like everyone in Elwood City is always on the move, and in my travels with my dad, I'm finding a lot more people who are really going places.

I'm jumping into the action, too, and sending it all to my pals in Elwood City on my very own video postcards.
