ARTHUR:
Hey, D.W.

Hey!

Whoa!

( crashing )

D.W.:
Bike helmet?

Check.

Kneepads?

Check.

Bandages?

Check.

Clean clothes?

Check.

Come on, D.W.,
let's go!

I'll be ready in a minute.

Good-bye.

Sorry I can't take you with me.

It's too dangerous
where I'm going.

Ready?

I'm ready if
you're ready.

Have fun, girls.

Right.
Right.

( doorbell rings )

( loud babbling )

( yells )

( laughing )

I brought a brand-new game--
tower of cows.

It's never even
been opened.

Want to play?

Um, okay.

We can't play that!

We want to play airplane.

( imitating zooming )

Oh, yeah

I forgot.

Airplane's
the funnest.

( both imitating zooming )

I'm glad
we came prepared.

I don't think we'll ever be
prepared enough for the Tibbles.

( zooming continues )

Oh, no! I can't see anything.

The clouds
are too thick.

You'll have to make
a crash landing.

I can't stop
in time.

I'll hit
those two gasoline tanks.

That's you.

( zooming )

( girls scream )

BOY:
Crash!

( laughing )

BOY:
That was a great
crash, guys.

( groaning )

No, it wasn't.

They didn't explode!

Oh, yeah, you were
supposed to explode.

Like this: "Kabloom!"

I can explode
better than that.

( inhales deeply )

Kabloom!

I can explode loudest.

Ka-ba-bloom!

Can we play Emily's
quiet game now?

Sure.
Sure.

EMILY:
Steady...

Steady...

Hey, this is
a fun game.

I bet I have
the loudest cow.

Moo!

Moo!

BOTH:
Yeah!

( groans )

D.W.:
You know, Tommy Tibble's okay

but Timmy always
makes him get crazy.

If only Tommy
was the only Tibble.

Oh, look! A big red star!

Starlight, star bright

first star I see tonight

I wish I may, I wish I might

Have the wish I wish...
all right?

I wish I could play with Tommy
without Timmy being around.

( motor whirring )

( groans )

I wished on a helicopter.

Rats!

La, la, la, la....

Don't eat my crayon.

( chatter continues )

Look! Tommy...
without Timmy.

Mrs. Morgan?

Timmy can't come
to school today.

He's sick.

Thank you, Tommy.

Have a seat.

Do you realize
what this means?

The wish I made on a wishbone
last night came true.

Oh, I thought it meant
you could wish on a helicopter.

Hey, everybody in school
made you this card.

Let's play catch.

Don't you want to catch?

Okay, let's play
Rocky Road.

Hang on, this is
one rocky road.

( burps )

You're doing it wrong.

Come on, play right.

Excuse me, Tommy

But Timmy needs
his rest.

Huh?

( groans )

D.W.:
You did it!

You won, Tommy!

This is
a fun game

when you don't
knock it all down.

Isn't it?

I feel safe taking
off my helmet.

We haven't gotten
knocked down all afternoon.

And no one screamed
in our ears.

This is great!

Cupcake break!

That one should be
for Timmy.

Timmy's asleep.

He wouldn't want to eat
a cupcake now, dear.

But he's going to
want to eat it later.

( snoring )

( gasps )

( snoring )

I thought the window
was open!

( groans )

( splat )

( groans )

He's so sad that
Timmy's not here.

Yeah.

Let's take Tommy somewhere else
so he'll forget about it.

( children laughing )

Whoa!

This is pretty fun,
right, Tommy?

It's okay.

It would be better
if Timmy was here.

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!
Whoo-hoo!

Oh, maybe ice cream
would cheer him up.

Aaah!

Timmy!

What?

Oh, it's only me.

Nothing works.

The only thing that can
make him happy is Timmy

And we're just
not Timmy.

But maybe
we could be.

Huh?

Hey, Tommy, bet I
could open my mouth

wider than yours.

Can not.

Can, too.

Wow, that's
pretty wide.

But I bet I can yell
louder than you.

No way!

( yelling )

( yells )

( splat )

( Emily yells )

Good one.

I dropped my cone!

D.W.:
...

... ...

My arm is tired.

I quit.

You can't quit.

Timmy and I were
trying to break

a world's record.

We have to do
a million of these.

Look, we don't have
to both be Timmys.

You're better at it than me.

Why don't you do it?

No way, sister!

What if we take turns?

D.W., you're a genius.

You Tibble now,
I'll Tibble tomorrow.

Deal!

Tommy...

What else do you play
with Timmy?

Biplane-- It's Timmy's
favorite game.

It's twice as better
as plain plane.

( imitating zooming )

TOMMY:
Enemy sighted at : .

Faster, copilot, faster.

Hey, what's happening?

We're losing height.

Mayday! Arbor Day!
Birthday!

Too... heavy.

( groaning )

This is fun.

You guys are really fun!

Thank you for flying D.W.A.

( groans )

Now everybody off the plane.

Moo!
Moo!

Yeah!

( panting )
Whoo-hoo!
All right!

Wow,
Yeah!

You'll have to get

half an hour of
practice in tonight

because your recital's
coming up next Saturday.

You remember
last year.

Ow!

I can yell
louder than that.

( yells ):
Ow!

Oh! I'm sorry.

It was my turn
to be a Tibble today.

I Tibbled there, accidentally.

( laughing )

Whee!

( panting and groaning )

( imitating zooming )

Ahh!

( laughing )

( screams )

( laughing )

( yelling )

( yelling )

Yee-ha!

Giddy-up! Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo! Yip,
yip, yip-ee-yi!

Yoo-hoo!

( groaning )

( panting )

I'm losing my voice.

I've been running the last
thousand billion hours

and this scarf is itchy.

I can't be a Tibble
for one more minute.

I quit.

But you were helping
Tommy feel better.

I want to help Tommy,
but it's just too hard.

That's what being a good
friend is all about--

helping someone
even when it isn't easy.

Yeah, you're right.

But it's too hard.

I'm quitting.

Well, if you're
quitting, I'm quitting.

I'm quitting, I am.

I am quitting.

As soon as he opens
that door, I'm saying

"Tommy, I can't be
a Tibble anymore.

I quit."

Me, too.

Why do I feel so rotten?

Tommy's going
to be really upset.

Well, we have to
consider our health.

We're just not Tibbles.

It's like
they're a completely
different animal.

I'm quitting.

Me, too.

Okay.

Who cares
what he thinks.

We quit.

( doorbell rings )

Tommy, Emily and I
have decided...

I'm not Tommy, I'm Timmy.

BOTH:
You're better?

Yeah, and am I glad.

When I was sick,
I dreamed cupcakes
att*cked my room.

Come on in!

Tommy said you were
so nice when I was sick.

You played our games.

You guys are the absolutely
best friends that ever lived.

He said that
without you guys

he would have
just cried all the time.

I feel so rotten
for wanting to quit.

I feel lower than
a bug under a brick.

D.W.:
I'm sure glad
Timmy's better

because I could never
quit, knowing that.

Hey, where's Tommy?

Oh, he's sick.

He caught it
from me.

That's why I'm so happy
you're here.

Now I have friends
who'll play Biplane

And Rocky Road
and Ambulance
and Screaming Cow.

I'll take
the first shift.

Thanks, you're
a real friend.

TIMMY:
Who wants to
be a biplane?

( sighs )

Me...

Me.

( rhythmic humming,
booming and popping )

What's that noise?

D.W.?

What's that noise?
What's
that noise?

Oh, I bet I know
what it is.

( noise continues )

( snoring )

No.

Rats! I was sure it
was the dog's stomach.

( whines )

Mom, it's in the basement!

( making humming, booming
and popping noises )

What are you
guys doing?

Shh! It's our
new music show.

I'm a video...
( continues sound effects )

And I'm almost over.

That was Buster Jam's

"Hey, What's
for Dinner?"

Our next video...

that wasn't real music.

He was going...

( imitates Buster )

with his mouth.

And that's
not a TV

and this camera's not on.

That's Dad's old camera--
it doesn't work.

So why are you doing this?

Why not?

Because it's not real.

So what if it's not real?

You can like something
even though it's not real.

Try it.

Just pretend and
you can see cool videos.

If this is a trick, I'm telling.

No trick.

Here they come--
our big music videos.

ARTHUR:
So, what did
you think?

Good for two guys
in a cardboard TV.

It was okay for the basement.

It would never
work on real TV.

By the way, who's Dewey?

Hi, I'm Marc Brown.

I get a lot of letters
from you kids

asking me what I do

when I'm not writing and
illustrating the Arthur books.

Well, come on, I'll show you.

The first thing I do every
morning is make my bed,

and then I go for a walk,

and after that I come home
and make my favorite breakfast:

oatmeal and bananas.

And sometimes I doodle.

It sort of reminds me
of Prunella.
