Hey!

ARTHUR:
Hey, D.W.

Hey!

Whoa!

( crash )

Lost?

Lost?

Who's lost?

Arthur, Daddy.

He's lost, and I never
got to say good-bye.

Apparently he
never showed up

for his
swimming lesson.

Maybe he isn't lost.

Maybe he just ran away.

I'll see if he's
at the school.

and I'll call
the bus company.

I'll go tell
everybody.

Please stay right here.

I don't need
two lost children.

If you were Lassie,
you could go find him.

( panting )

( whimpers )

He's out there, somewhere...

( D.W. sniffling )

D.W. ( booming ):
Oh, Arthur, where are you?

( howls )

MOM:
Oh, Arthur, you're home!

Arthur, thank goodness!

Are you
okay, honey?

We were so worried.

All this time you were
at the bus station?

We worried our heads off
for nothing?

So tell us
what happened.

What about my story?
I answered the phone.

His is just a boring story
about being lost.

Mine's about being worried.

You can tell your part
when we come to it.

Go ahead, honey.

Well, I guess
the beginning was
back at school...

( school bell rings )

BUSTER:
Hey, Arthur.

Want to ride bikes?

I have to ride the bus
to swimming.

Mom couldn't drive me because
she had to go to D.W.'s play.

D.W. is the mashed potatoes
in the pageant of foods.

What's wrong?

The bus? You mean

you're taking
the real one?

The one that goes...
to the edge of town?

Sure, you just
pay your money and go.

I heard about this
guy who got on a bus

and it just kept
going and going...

When's the next stop?

I'm supposed to be
at my swimming lesson.

You got the
wrong bus, kid.

We don't make
any stops.

But that's impossible.

Oh, really?

( screams )

( aliens cackling )

Yeah, I heard that same story.

It was in a movie
on TV last week.

Oh, yeah, that's
where I saw it.

Don't worry, you'll
be fine, Arthur...

But I must warn you
about this kid--

he didn't have enough money

so the driver wouldn't
let him off the bus.

( kids saying good-bye )

Uh-uh-uh...

Where do you think
you're going?!

Please, can't I just leave?

I've been on this bus
for years!

Not until you pay your fare.

But I left my money
in my other pants!

Guess you should have
thought of that

before you got on the bus,
old man.

( laughs sinisterly )

Here it comes.

( trembling ):
Well, see ya.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

DRIVER:
Exact change.

"Squids and their ways..."

( snoring )

I couldn't help it--
I was up all night.

I had a lot of reading.

( chuckling )

MOM:
Arthur, go to sleep.

It's past your bedtime.

Okay, Mom,
I'm practically asleep.

( turning pages )

Okay, so you
were tired

and you
fell asleep...

Yeah, and
so then...

Well, that's when
it got... scary.

( starts )

Where are we?

Uh, excuse me,
did we pass the pool?

Ages ago.

We're practically
at the edge of town.

Is everything okay?

Uh... sure.

Oh, no.

The edge of town!

Weren't you scared?

Yeah... I mean... no.

Why didn't you
say something
to the driver?

Well, I thought about it.

DRIVER:
Last stop,
everybody out.

Uh... never mind.

( door opens )

Why did I have to take
swimming lessons anyway?

I guess I'll just walk home...

only I don't know
which way to go.

I don't even have enough money
to take the bus back.

( sniffling )

Did you cry?

You did, didn't you?

No, I didn't cry.

Well, maybe a little.

You should have seen
how much I was crying.

I thought my eyes
would float away

and my head would
swell up like...

Let's let Arthur
finish his story.

Go on, honey.

ARTHUR:
A telephone!

Even if Mom and Dad aren't home

I know somebody
who will pick me up.

( tires screech )

( siren blaring )

Hang on, sweetie.

Coming through!

( engine revving )

Look out!

( tires screech )

( tires squealing )

I'm coming!

Grandma!

Hello.

( coin falls )

Huh?

Excuse me...

I know you--
you're from the bus.

Yeah... um, your phone
doesn't work.

Do you have another one?

Afraid not.

I keep telling Manny to get
that darned thing fixed.

Bet you could use
some refreshment.

What you drinking?

Um... do you have milk?

Sure do.

Hey, Manny,
squeeze me a cow.

When do we get to
my part of the story?

Probably about now, D.W.--
go ahead.

Well, while you were
stuffing your face

Mommy and I were hard at work...

( phone ringing, Kate crying )

D.W.:
Mom, the phone's ringing!

Mom, the phone is...

Can you get it, D.W.?

I have my hands full.

( grunting )

What do you want?

D.W.!

Mom, did we lose
Arthur somewhere?

Arthur's at swimming lessons.

It's almost time

to pick him up.

This man at the pool
says Arthur isn't there.

What?!

Don't cry, mommy,
Arthur's right here.

I know,
it's just...

that was the worst
phone call I ever got.

What did you do when
you knew I was lost?

I called the bus company
to see what happened to you.

We were going to
send out a search party

but we got another
phone call and...

Hold on, D.W., let's hear

the rest
of Arthur's story.

Where was I?
Oh, yeah, the diner.

WAITRESS:
I live right near

Lakewood Elementary.

You do? How do you get home?

Sometimes I take a taxi,
but usually I take the bus.

What would you do if
you didn't have any money?

Do you need me to lend you
some money?

No, thank you.

My Dad says I should never
accept money from strangers.

That's good advice.

Um... probably
what I'd do then

is go talk to
the bus driver.

Wouldn't he be mad?

Nah, not Sam.

Anyway, it couldn't
hurt to try.

The bus usually heads back
to town right about now.

You might want
to shake a leg.

Thanks.

Oh... um...

It's on me.

Thank you.

Oh, no! Wait, wait!

DRIVER:
What do you want?

I, uh... I'm not
in the right place.

I was going
to the pool.

What happened?

I... I fell asleep

and I don't have money
for the bus home

and I don't know
where I am or I'd walk...

Hey, kid,
I've heard enough.

Don't sweat it--
happens all the time.

Really?

At least once a week.

Name's Sam.

Let's radio your folks
just in case

they're getting anxious.

Great!

SAM:
See you around, Arthur.

Bye! Thanks, Sam!

It was very
smart of you

to figure out
what to do.

We're both
very proud of you.

Sleep tight.

( light clicks off,
door closes )

( door opens )

What's
going on?

D.W., what are
you doing?

I'm making sure
you're not lost.

Arthur, you scared me.

You better promise never
to get lost again.

Okay, I won't.

Do you promise?

I promise.

Cross your heart?

Cross my heart.

KIDS:
And now...

If Arthur had a map,
he wouldn't have gotten lost.

A map can tell you things.

You can map anything.

We made a map of the inside
of Philip's body.

BOY :
This is the brain.

The stomach attaches
to the pancreas.

These windpipes
lead to the lungs.

The stomach attaches
to the small intestine.

And this is the heart.

And to the kidney,
which attaches to the bladder.

This is a map of my uncle's dog.

I made a map
of an amusement park.

I made a map
of the solar system.

It has all the planets.

I made a map of my room.

We made a map of the food chain.

I made a map of my stomach.

I had vitamins, nuggets, royals,
chocolate milk, bread, M&Ms

Golden Krisps, pineapple, orange
juice, chocolates and milk.

I made a map of my face--

Me eyes, my hair,
my nose, my mouth.

The map of my heart
shows what I love--

My mom and dad, my baby cousin

Candy, school,
my teacher Mr. Rossi

the color blue and purple,
my friend and my dog.

We love maps.

ALL:
We're a map of kids!

And now...

ARTHUR:
It's the last day of school.

When that bell rings,
summer starts.

CLASS:
♪ Summer is fun,
it's just begun ♪

♪ There's lots of sun,
we'll play and run ♪

♪ Summer is number one... ♪

Two minutes left
in the school year.

There's time for
one last math problem.

This is my list

of all the great things
I plan to do this summer.

Ow!

Hey, watch the birdie!

Sorry, Buster.

KIDS:
♪ Rockin' at the beach ♪

♪ Rockin' at the beach... ♪

ARTHUR:
I see a hippo.

I see a train racing an octopus.

That is the most ridiculous...

Hey, he's right!

( bell rings )

The answer is / .

Have a good summer.

( kids cheering )

Summer is here!

( thunder crashes )

ARTHUR:
It's another perfect
summer day, Pal.

What shall we do?

We could go to the park, or...

How about shopping for clothes?

Yuck! Why would
I want to do that?

You start school next week.

( gasps )

It's the last week
of summer already?

It can't be!

It feels like
summer just started

and it's already over.

Are we playing cave?

No, I'm looking
for my list.

What list?

The list I made
of all the things

I wanted
to do this summer.

Was losing the list
on the list?

You did that.

ARTHUR:
I only have
one week left

to do all the things
on my list.

( Pal barking )

D.W.:
Argh, a ghost!

A hairy ghost!

Oh, it's just your dopey dog.

Yeah!

Whee! Whee!

( laughing )

( giggles )

Where's Arthur?

He's missing all the fun.

If I were a list,
where would I be?

( grunts )

Whoa, whoa!

You could get hurt
playing like that.

Who's playing?

I'm not having
any fun at all.

BUSTER:
Come on, Arthur.

Let's play kangaroo court.

"Sue the Kangaroo
cavorts in a ka-wazy courtroom.

and it's just fun,
not educational."

Can't beat that.

Summer's almost over

and I haven't
done anything.

Sure, you did.

What about the carousel?

( carousel music playing )

What are you doing, Gunky?

This old carousel's
on its last go-round, boys.

I'm out of business.

Why? Everybody
loves the carousel.

Mr. Crosswires bought it

and he's a-rippin' it down.

( both gasp )

This is where I want

the new grease pits.

We'll have

the designs
by next week.

( gasps )

Grease pits could be fun.

They're for his
car business, not us.

Oh, that rots!

We've got to do something!

We need to band together.

( everybody cheers )

( carousel music playing )

What's going on here?

BUSTER:
I banded together
the band

to save the carousel.

We don't want grease pits!

BINKY:
Except to play in.

Everyone grew up
on this ride

including
this young boy.

Why, that's me... and daddy!

I'm so cute.

Okay, okay, it stays.

( cheering )

Your idea
worked, Buster.

You saved
the carousel.

That was something
you did, not me.

Yeah.

Boy, I had a great summer!

( groans )

What kind of a goof
wastes his whole summer?

I didn't waste one minute.

The first day, I took my
bike apart and cleaned it.

but you never tried
to put it back together.

Not true--
I tried every day.

Plus, I invented the mud sled.

Ladies and gentlemen...

The Binky Barnes
official mud sled.

Sleds ain't just
for snow anymore.

Whoo-h-hee!

( splats )

Aw, yuck!

Yuck!

Yuck!

( sighs )

That was great.

It didn't even work.

But it was
muddy and gooey.

( sighs )

This was
the best summer ever.

( groans )

You'll wear a hole in the floor

and mommy will be really mad.

Quiet! I'm thinking.

Why?

Only three days left.

If I don't find my list,
I've wasted

my whole summer.

Even Kate did
something great.

She said her first word.

( babbling )

Good night, Kate.

Blue-vlagwa!

Mommy, Daddy!

Kate said her first word!

Mommy, Daddy!

MOM:
What did she say?

It was "Daddy," wasn't it?

She said "blooge-agwa."

She said it clear as a bell.

Blue... bvagwa.

Where are you going?

She might say it again.

What's "blooge agwa"
mean, anyway?

Mom, D.W.'s bothering me
while I'm trying to think.

FERN:
It's dumb
to waste a summer.

I went to poetry camp,
I was the poetry champ.

This ribbon on my chest
means that I'm the best

and now it's hard
to stop making rhymes;

I must have tried
a thousand times!

You must have
done something, Arthur.

Even Mr. Ratburn did
something special.

He worked in Jack's Joke Shop.

You don't want

that trick.

I don't?

It's too easy.

Now, here is a challenge
worthy of a true magician.

It'll take
a lot of practice.

SUE ELLEN:
I wanted to give up

but I knew Ratburn

wouldn't give me my
money back if I quit

and eventually...

Was your card the Nine of Clubs?

Correct-- perfect.

Like a real pro.

It took all summer

But now I can do the trick
better than Ratburn.

Pick a card.

ARTHUR:
Only two days left.

I've flunked summer!

I'll probably flunk recess, too.

You can help
dig the hole--
that's something.

I've been meaning
to ask you

why you were
digging this hole.

We'll dig
to the earth's core

where there are minerals

to predict the future.

Ow!

We've worked for months.

We're real close, I think.

BRAIN:
If they get near the core

their shovels will melt.

What about
your summer?

I was in
summer school.

What did you have to learn?

I didn't
learn anything.

I was teaching--
science and soccer.

Want to launch
the rocket?

Arthur?

You've
filled in the hole?

We'll try again
next year.

Haven't you wasted
your whole summer?

No.
No.

It was fun.

Everyone had a great time
except me.

I know I put that list
somewhere for safekeeping.

( gasps )

I found it! I found it!

But it's too late.

Summer's over.

So that's all
the great things?

What's it say?

"Have adventures."

What's it say?

"Have adventures."

What a joke.

I didn't have any.

Especially not
on the rainy days

when you sat around
reading books.

Whoa!

We ride, D'Artagnan.

All for one...

ALL:
And one for all!

Faster, driver,
they're gaining on us.

( yells )

Har, har, har!

Get out of here!

He's waking up!

( screaming and squeaking )

I did have some adventures.

But what's next on the list?

"Explore space."

You sure
didn't do that.

ARTHUR:
Ready for lift-off?

BUSTER:
Conditions are go, go, go.

"Learn to fly."

Yahoo!

I did everything
on this list.

Thanks for asking me

to read it, D.W.

I was trying
to make him feel rotten

and he feels great.

I'm a failure
as a little sister.

ARTHUR:
It's the last night.

BUSTER:
Yup.

FRANCINE:
There's lots to see

just beyond that horizon.

but there's
no more time.

School starts tomorrow.

Yup, school's going
to be relaxing

after all my adventures.

Yup.

Another marshmallow,
anyone?

Yup.
