'''ARTHUR'S COUSIN CATASTROPHE''' |
Revision as of 12:47, 8 July 2020
Introduction
Arthur is getting cleaning utensils out of a closet.
Arthur: I hope this never happens to you.
Mr. Read: Hurry! They'll be here soon.
Mrs. Read wipes the windows in the kitchen. Arthur brings his dad the utensils and he cleans the cupboards.
D.W.: Mom, you missed a spot.
Arthur: No, it's not cleaning day.
D.W.: You missed a spot, Mom! Arthur hands her a sponge.
Arthur puts on rubber gloves and goggles. Then he takes two pasta tongs and approaches the refrigerator. He opens the freezing compartment and is buried in an avalanche of ice and food.
Arthur: Argh!
Mr. Read hangs up decorations in a doorway.
D.W.: Higher... Higher... Higher... A little lower… Lower...Lower...
Arthur sits in the living room with a check list.
Arthur: No, it's not a holiday.
Mrs. Read: Lawn mowed?
Arthur: Check.
Mr. Read: Party fun list?
Arthur: Check. It's not a formal dinner.
Mrs. Read: Beds made? Teeth brushed? Dog fed?
Arthur: Check. Check. Check.
D.W.: There, Daddy. That's perfect. Mr. Read hangs up the decoration.
Arthur: It's all these things and more.
Mrs. Read: I guess we're as ready as we'll ever be.
Mr. Read: (sighs relieved)
Arthur walks outside. Over the door is a banner saying “Annual Read Family Reunion”.
Arthur: Welcome to the Read Family Reunion!
Title Card: Arthur With Umbrella
The doorbell rings while Mr. Read is carrying a stack of plates into the living room.
Mr. Read: They're early! Can you get that, Arthur? Don't forget the list! Arthur opens the door.
Arthur: Hi, welcome to the Read... He is blinded by a camera flash. Uncle Bud, his wife Loretta and their two younger children stand outside.
Uncle Bud: Gotcha! Hey there, Arty! How do you like my new camera? This supernova solar flash is a real dandy. Well, don’t just stand there, Mr. Piano Man. Invite us in, hehe!
Arthur: Oh, right. Welcome to the Read Family Reunion! Come on in! Dad planned party games, so get ready for fun, fun, fun! He hands lists to the others as they come in.
Uncle Bud: Son, "fun" is my middle name and I don't need a list to have it! He drops the list.
Bud’s Kids: (laugh)
Aunt Loretta: Monique, don't lag, darling. We brought your cousin Mo with us, Arthur.
Arthur: Cousin...Mo?
Aunt Loretta: She has a nice surprise for you. You remember cousin Mo, don't you...? Her words echo. Remember your cousin Mo, don't you...don’t you…don’t you?
Arthur is transported into the past. An about two-year-old Arthur is playing in the yard when a shadow falls on him.
Aunt Loretta: Now play nice with little cousin Arthur, Mo. Mo is about seven.
Little Mo: Sure, we're gonna have lots of fun, aren't we, cousin Arthur? She grabs him. Then she turns on the water in the garden hose while Arthur sits on the sprinkler. He spins around. (laughs)
A calendar changes to another July. Mo is now wearing a karate suit and throws Arthur across the yard.
Little Arthur: Argh! Oof.
Little Mo: That's just a simple throw. Now I'll show you one I made up myself. It’s called the headlock of death.
Little Arthur: Hh!
A calendar changes to another July. Mo has dressed Arthur as a baby and put him in a baby carriage.
Mo: Hey, everybody, look at Arthur!
Arthur: It's not funny!
Mrs. Read: Oh, how cute! Honey, look at Arthur.
Mr. Read: Haha! He's so funny!
Mrs. Read+Tora+Loretta: (Oh, how cute! So funny!)
The flashbacks end. Mo stands in front of Arthur.
Arthur: Augh!
Mo: Hh! Arthur runs off.
Aunt Loretta: My, Arthur's certainly growing into an excitable boy.
#
Mr. Read fans a barbeque with a sheet of paper.
Mr. Read: Okay. The sauce is ready, the buns are ready, the coals are ready. Everyone’s here. All we need are the burgers and hot dogs. Er, burgers and hot dogs! I didn’t get burgers and hot dogs! Mrs. Read brings a tray.
Mrs. Read: That's because I got the burgers and hot dogs, dear.
Mr. Read: Ah, that's right!
Arthur looks at the yard from a tree through binoculars. He sees Mo standing at the door.
Arthur: Ah, target sighted! The word “danger” flashes inside the binoculars. I just have to get across the back yard and through the party to the house, then I can hide in my room until she's gone. But how? How? D.W. appears in front of him. She is sitting on a lower branch.
D.W.: Hi, Arthur! Arthur falls from his branch and hangs on to D.W.’s branch.
Arthur: Hh!
D.W.: What are you doing hiding here in this tree. Arthur drops to the ground. Don’t run. I hear Mo has a big surprise planned for you this year.
Arthur: We’ll see about that. He runs away.
D.W.: Yeah, maybe she wants to give you a ride in the washing machine then hang you on the clothesline to dry, or maybe... She tries to climb down. (struggles) Arthur! Help me down! Arthur!
