ARTHUR: Hey, D.W. Hey!

Whoa!

( crash ) ( in hypnotic tone ): Look deep into my eyes and I will read your mind.

Deeper, deeper.

Aha!

I know what you're thinking.

You want the show to start.

So maybe I can't read minds.

But what if I could tell what people were thinking?

I wonder what's going on in D.W.'s head.

( evilly ): I'll put you in one of my dolly's dresses and then we'll play house.

Help me, help me!

Maybe I don't want to know what she's thinking.

( Pal barks ) ( gasps ) Hey, I'll see what Pal's thinking.

I think I could have guessed that.

( to himself ): Mom and Dad.

This should be interesting.

Arthur, what are you doing up?

It's late.

Oh... sorry, I was just... wondering what you were thinking.

Really?

Honey, let's think the same thing and see if Arthur can guess it.

All right, I'm going to bed.

I think I like not knowing what people are thinking better.

( howling ) ( sniffing ) I see someone will be reading a lot this week.

Wait a minute.

I forgot something.

( gasps ): Oh, no!

But I must have left it here.

It couldn't have just walked away.

( chuckling ) Oh, no!

( accusing tone ): Pretty funny, huh?

Yeah, this is really funny.

Listen to this...

There's nothing funny about stealing someone's... diary... Hey, this isn't my diary.

It's a joke book.

What would I be doing with your diary?

Well, it's gone, and someone has it.

They're probably reading it right now.

Hmm... FRANCINE: Why is Sue Ellen worried that I'd read her diary?

Maybe there was something in it about you.

About me?

What would she write about me?

Maybe she wrote about the mean things you've done.

Like pushing her in the mud.

( Francine la ughing ) SUE ELLEN: "Day 162.

Francine is getting meaner and meaner.

I think it's time I got her some help."

But I didn't push her.

She tripped.

I know, but maybe she thinks you did.

I came to you, Dr. Zimmer because you're the leading specialist in mean children.

I'm afraid your friend exhibits all the signs of acute ogre-ism.

Ogre-ism, Dr. Zimmer?

A disease in which the victim cannot control being mean.

Notice the bossiness.

And the pushing.

That's just like Francine.

Then I am afraid there is no help for her.

We must keep her away from the other children.

But why can't I play with my friends?

Ogre-ism is very contagious.

Besides, they probably don't want to play with you.

You'd only be mean to them.

But I'm not that mean.

Really, I'm not, I swear.

And I don't have ogre-ism.

You don't have what?

That disease from Sue Ellen's diary.

We don't know for sure that you're in her diary.

You're right.

I've got to find out.

Hmm... She probably didn't write about Francine at all.

I wonder what she did write about.

I can help you look for it.

Well, okay.

Just don't read it if you find it.

If it's on these shelves, you should tell me what's in it so I'll know what section to look in.

Just thoughts, ideas, the beginning of a story.

About what?

There's this girl who's a princess and... Hey, wait a minute!

Nice try, Muffy but I'm not telling you a thing.

It's private.

Boy, she really doesn't want me to see that book.

Maybe it's because the story's about me.

SUE ELLEN: "Once upon a time, there was a ri ch, beautiful, smart princess "named Millicenta who lived in a tower with her lady-in-waiting."

Oh, my princess, you are so fair while I am just... okay.

Ow!

Watch it.

You'll give me split ends.

"Then one day, a fire-breathing dragon came to the nearby village and caused big trouble."

( villagers shouting ) ALL: Help us, rich, beautiful, smart, princess Millicenta.

Lady-in-waiting, we have to do something.

Fear not, princess.

I'll handle it.

( groaning ) Oh, no.

Help, help!

If you want something done right you have to do it yourself.

( dragon inhales ) ( atomizer sprays ) ( gasping and coughing ) ( groans ) Oh, beautiful princess, thank you.

I don't know how to repay you.

Well, this perfume is $30 a bottle.

You can start there.

Hey, space cadet.

Huh?

You can't talk to me like that-- I'm a princess.

Okay, whatever, just quit blocking the shelf.

Oh, sorry, Binky.

I was just thinking about Sue Ellen's diary.

It's so sad.

She lost it, and it had the most wonderful story.

A book?

"Private" written on the cover?

That's it.

Have you seen it?

I put it on some cart with other books.

What did it say?

I don't know.

I didn't read it.

Let's find that book.

I have to read that story.

It was right there.

And the cart was... right there.

It could be anywhere.

What's so important about it?

Because it's where people write down how they feel about everything.

Everything?

Yep-- everything and everybody.

Everybody.

That would include... me.

SUE ELLEN: "Dear diary, today was no ordinary school day.

"It was the day I met the man of my dreams: "Binky Barnes.

"He's handsome... "strong... and talented."

( belching "Star Spangled Banner" ) ( sighs ) "Now, if only I can get him to notice me."

( grunting ) "Dear diary, three months have passed and Binky still doesn't know how I feel about him."

Huh?

( Sue Ellen sighs ) ( snoring ) "I've tried everything."

( nearby singing ) ♪ Binky, te quiero ♪ ♪ I love you, I love you ♪ ♪ Te quiero, I do ♪ ♪ I really, truly love you muchisimo, it's true.

♪ ( Binky continues snoring ) If that's what she's written about I better find that book before someone else does.

Excuse me.

Whoa!

Oh, great.

Hey, what's this?

She must have written about people she l... thinks are cool.

Maybe she wrote down all the time we picked our noses.

We'll never know what's in it unless we find it.

Hey, have you seen Sue Ellen?

I found her diary.

Wait.

Would you want someone to read your diary?

I don't have a diary.

Don't you want to know what she's said about you?

Well... kind of... but...

Okay, who's going to read first?

Not me.

Not me.

Definitely not me.

I don't want to go first.

Maybe we should all read it together.

That way everyone's equally guilty.

( gulps ) I've had that diary since I was little.

No one's ever read it.

Not even my mom and dad.

Arthur!

Why'd you take it?!

I found it.

And I was going to give it back to you but then... we all wanted to read it.

So we took it... and we couldn't open it.

It's still private.

Well, I know what I'll write in it tonight.

ALL: What?!

That I have the best friends in the world.

No, really what are you going to write?

Allow me.

Sue Ellen, I'll be home tonight if you need any more ideas for stories.

Let me hold your books while you unlock your bike.

Wouldn't want you to get hurt.

Are you sure nobody read my diary?

Don't worry, nobody read it.

It's still private.

You might have been embarrassed.

I said some pretty nice things about you.

See you later.

Huh?

And now...

GIRL: "Nora's video diary."

I'm going to try doing a video diary.

Here's my camera.

The diary won't be this, it will be a tape.

Look, it's snowing out.

It's Saturday, it's the first snow of the year and it feels great.

Here's my brother Kevin.

He's going to make the music for my video diary.

( synthesized beat playing ) "Read A Book."

Today is a Saturday, and I think I'll read a book.

"Lunch."

Now, I'm going to eat.

"Snow Fun."

We're going sledding.

It's going to be real fun.

( shouting ) Was that fun, or what?

"Call Carly."

Hi, Nora.

NORA: Hi, Carly.

What are you doing?

I'm just taping a diary for today.

"Build a fort."

Here's our fort we made.

There's Carly.

She might be able to introduce us and show us around.

In here there's some storage.

Let's have a dance party.

Yeah!

( dance music plays ) Today's video diary's done.

I wonder what will happen tomorrow.

And now... Hello there, allow me to introduce myself.

I'm Arthur's heart.

I'm the guy who pumps blood through Arthur's body.

Hey, we late?

No, come on.

These are Arthur's lungs.

( breathing deeply ): Hey!

Without them, Arthur wouldn't get the air he needs to breathe.

That's right, Pumpy.

Don't call me Pumpy.

( giggling ): Did you miss us?

The twins, Arthur's kidneys.

We keep his...

Blood clean!

Hey, dudes, where's the party?

This is Arthur's intestine.

He helps digest food.

I'll be in the kitchen.

( giggling ) Ah, here you guys are.

( burps ) ( breathing deeply ) You don't sound too happy, stomach.

Arthur eat too much candy again?

Worse.

( burps ) Cake.

Ooh.

Without a stomach, Arthur couldn't eat.

See how he treats me?

No respect.

( burps ) Well, sometimes Arthur forgets to use one thing.

( inhaling ): That's right, Pumpy, Where's Arthur's brain?

HEART: Don't call me Pumpy!

I haven't seen him.

Maybe we better call him.

ALL: Hey, Brainy!

Hey, where are you?

Looks like Arthur's forgotten to use his brain again.

Yoo-hoo!

Mr. Smarty Brain Dude?

Hey, Wrinkles!

What's that?

The coolest ancient history project!

Torque wrench.

It's a chariot For a Shakespeare scene about Julius Caesar.

What's a chariot?

( grunting ): It's a replica of an ancient horse-drawn vehicle used in war and processions.

Done!

Let's test it.

But what's...

This is how The ancient Romans used to get around.

OW!

Did the Romans need lots of bandages?

( groans ) BRAIN: I anticipated this.

The bearing case broke.

We need a replacement wheel but I'm supposed to go home for lunch.

I'll get another wheel while you're gone!

Okay, we'll put it on when I get back!

Can I come?

No!

Why not?

Because.

Because why?

Because I said so!

Hey, only Mom and Dad can say that.

I'll ask Dad.

Wait!

I'm going to the dump to find an old bike wheel.

You don't want to go to the dump.

It's all dirty and yucky and full of old, smelly junk.

Mom and Dad said you can't go there.

I'm telling!

But then I'll have to tell on you for telling on me.

Then I'd have to tell on you for telling on me for telling on you!

Then I'd have to... never mind.

You can come but you absolutely... can't... tell... anybody!

( gulls squawking ) ( rat squeaks ) ( both gasp ) This isn't fun.

I told you not to come.

We'll go as soon as I find a wheel.

Help me look.

Look!

There's one!

Down there?

You're going down there?

Yeah, no problem.

I climb down and get the wheel-- piece of cake.

No... Let's see...

Wait...

Here I go!

( junk rattles ) I can't look!

Oh!

Whah!

Eek!

( gasps ) Yikes!

( gasps ) Ah!

( cans and glass crunch ) Watch out for that!

( grunts ) Oh, no!

( squeaking ) ( jeans tear ) ( screams ) You're bleeding!

I cut my knee on that lima beans can!

I knew lima beans were no good!

D.W.: Hurry up, Arthur.

I can't wait to tell Dad about lima beans being bad for you!

He was wrong about them.

If you tell Dad he'll know about the dump!

But what about your knee?

A deal is a deal.

No telling!

Coast is clear.

( winces with each step ) Red alert-- Dad at five o'clock!

Take evasive action!

( grunting ) ( grunting ) I'll clean my cut and fix my pants.

Mom will never find out.

If you tell her about it she'll fix it.

That's what moms are for-- laundry and stuff.

No!

( winces ) ( gasps ) Everything's just fine.

I can handle it.

I can't read.

What's this say?

It says, "I haven't tattled yet.

Get well soon."

Maybe this is one of those times when you should tell.

I promised Arthur I wouldn't tell.

We made a deal.

Maybe you can get Arthur to tell on himself like you did, with the tree.

Yeah, but how... Where's Arthur?

Brain!

Thank goodness you're here!

Wait till I tell you what happened!

It's nothing to worry about.

It's not that bad.

( sucking air ): Ow!

( gasps ) ( sobbing ) Ah!

Watch out!

( sobbing ): But you're really hurt, Arthur!

What if it gets even worse, and then... And then... And then I'll have to feed Pal and do all your other chores, too!

She's right.

You could get sick.

See, your skin is normally your body's first line of defense against invading pathogens.

If it's breached by a cut like your knee viruses and bacteria can get inside your body.

Some cells send out messages that warn other cells of the attack.

White blood cells rush to the scene and they destroy as many of the enemy cells as they can.

Your body temperature could rise in an attempt to wipe out the rest of the enemy.

In other words, you could get a fever and be really sick.

You risk tetanus encephalitis, conjunctivitis, staphylococcus and all kinds of stuff.

Yuck!

Remember when I was brave and told Mommy and Daddy about going up the tree?

Now you have to be brave.

You have to tattle on yourself.

Okay, okay, you're right.

Go get Mom.

Just about done.

And how are we doing?

It stings but I'm fine.

Good-- we'll give you a tetanus booster to be safe and you'll have to take antibiotic medicine for 10 days but the worst is over.

What's a tetanus booster?

A shot.

It won't hurt as much as your knee.

It will protect you from getting sick.

Okay.

Great, I'll be right back.

It's a good thing you came in.

Sometimes injuries can become quite serious if you ignore them and they become infected.

That's exactly what I said, Doctor.

I told him all about Tetris and Indianapolis.

( chuckling ): Good for you!

Maybe you'll be a doctor, too, someday.

Then I can give Arthur his Tetris booster!

Mom!

I know it was hard for you to tell us About your knee, Arthur.

And it was hard for me to not tell.

Anyway, I'm very proud of you for coming forward with the truth.

Great!

I'll call The Brain so... just a minute.

I'm not finished with you.

I can't practice pitching now.

Come on!

Why not?

I've decided to stay home To help out with some chores.

Huh?

Why?

I figure I violated my parents' trust by going to the dump.

I should think about what I did.

Wow, Arthur, that's really adult of you.

Arthur, since Mom and Dad grounded you I've grounded myself so I can keep you company!

We can read Martha Mealy Worm and play Confuse The Goose.

You won't even miss Francine or The Brain Or Bionic Bunny on TV or baseball, because you have me.

BUSTER: Have you ever wondered how an Arthur show is made?

It took more than 100 people almost a year to make the show you're watching.

It all starts off with a great script that gets turned into a storyboard.

Doesn't it look like a black-and-white comic book?

All the actors get together to record in a studio.

I've got to quit, too.

BUSTER: A whole team of artists paints all the scenes.

The director times every movement so that I can be animated.

Let's hear it for teamwork!
