Bully for Binky
Introduction
Binky comes into the school cafeteria.
Binky: Grrr!
Buster: Oh no, here comes Binky! Quick! Hide your desserts!
Binky: Hey, pal! You look too full for that cupcake. I'll take it off your hands. He takes Brain’s cupcake and eats it. Ah.
Everybody looks scared.
Buster: (gasps)
He quickly puts the rest of his banana into his mouth.
Arthur: Binky Barnes has always been the biggest bully in school, even in preschool.
Flashback: Arthur and his preschool class are playing inside.
Young Arthur: I'm going to color a rainbow.
Binky takes the can with the crayons away.
Young Binky: (laughs)
Young Arthur: Can we share the crayons? I need to color a rainbow.
Young Binky: Oh, okay. I'll share this white one.
Flashback: Arthur and Buster watch a parade.
Arthur (narrator): Binky doesn't even take a day off for holidays.
Binky steps in front of them.
Binky: What's the matter? Can't see?
Arthur: No.
Binky: Then I guess you'll have to wait till you grow up to see a parade! (laughs)
The flashbacks end. Arthur is about to eat a cookie.
Binky: That's an awful big cookie for one kid to eat, Arthur.
Arthur gives him half of his cookie.
Arthur: But what can you do about a bully who's also huge?
Binky: (burps) Ah.
Title Card: Arthur Swims
Francine: (voice) Bully for Binky
Arthur: Hi.
Arthur, Brain, Francine, Buster and Prunella meet in the library.
Francine: We have to do something about the Binky problem
Buster: Yeah, I haven't tasted a dessert all year!
Binky: Coming through!
Binky slides on a ladder knocking several other kids down.
Kids: (Hey! Whoa! Look out!)
Arthur: What we need is an emergency anti-Binky plan.
Brain holds up a drawing of Binky.
Brain: Let's examine Binky and we'll discover his weaknesses. He's big, he's strong, his large cumbersome feet root him solidly to the ground...
Arthur: He's like a tree, except without the birds.
Buster: A tree that can chase after you.
Francine: I can't think of any weaknesses.
***
On the school playground Binky walks up to some kids playing basketball. He takes George’s ball. Brain, Francine, Buster, Arthur and Prunella sit nearby.
Buster: I've got it! He likes dessert, especially other kids' desserts.
Francine: So? So he likes dessert. So what?
Buster: Maybe we can feed him so much he'll get too slow to chase us.
The drawing of Binky in his hand inflates like a balloon.
Arthur: I don't think that's a good idea. He'd probably just fall on us and flatten us.
The drawing shows Binky sitting on the others.
Kids (on drawing): (scream)
Brain: Face it. There's no one on earth big enough to challenge Binky.
Binky attempts to throw a hoop. The ball bounces off the board and hits Sue Ellen who is jumping rope.
Sue Ellen: Seven thousand three hundred and three, seven thousand three hundred... Hey!
Binky: Hahaha! D'you lose count on your widdle jump wope?
Sue Ellen: I was going for the record, you clumsy oaf!
Binky: Are you talking to me, pipsqueak!
Sue Ellen: Yes, and you owe me an apology!
Francine walks up to Sue Ellen.
Francine: Sue Ellen, you haven't been going to this school very long. That's Binky Barnes.
Binky: You tell her! Get to know the name! B-I-N...K-Y Barnes!
Sue Ellen: If he apologizes for being so rude, I'll apologize for calling him clumsy.
Binky: Apologize?! Maybe you'd rather fight me!
He runs up to Sue Ellen.
Sue Ellen: Okay.
She puts down her jump rope.
Binky: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!?
The ground shakes. Everybody stares in shock.
Kids: (gasp)
Prunella: (gulps)
Sue Ellen: I said okay. I'm not gonna let some big bully push me around.
Binky: Oh yes, you are!
Sue Ellen: I don't think so. I'll see you after school. Playground. Three o’clock.
She points at his chest. The she picks up her jump rope and leaves.
Binky: Right. Three o’clock. To the others: What are you looking at?
Buster: Er... look! Haley's comet!
Binky: Where?
He looks. When he looks back at the others, they are gone.
***
The third-graders are rehearsing in the music room. Miss Krasny comes in.
Miss Krasny: Attention, people, here are the pieces for the recital.
She hands out music sheets.
Francine: Miss Krasny? Can we do a duet for drums and tuba? Hit it, Buster!
They play. Everybody stares. Miss Krasny signals to stop.
Miss Krasny: Maybe at a future recital. I'm not sure the world's ready yet. Okay. Our first piece will be for clarinet and alto sax. Binky and Sue Ellen?
Arthur: Uh-oh. Binky suddenly looks uncomfortable. (to Buster:) This may sound crazy, but Binky looks kinda scared of Sue Ellen.
Binky: Hah!
Buster: Impossible!
Sue Ellen: (whispers to Binky:) Binky---because---Tae Kwon Do---okay. Sorry.
Arthur: I wish I knew what she was saying.
***
The school bell rings. Binky comes out of the building with Rattles and Molly.
Rattles: Hey, Binky, I don't see Sue Ellen anywhere.
Molly: I guess she's too scared of you.
Binky: Yeah, you know what excuse she gave? That she had to go to some Korean cooking class. Tae Kwon "Dough." (laughs)
Rattles and Molly stop and exchange surprised looks.
Rattles: Did she tell you Tae Kwon Do was a cooking class?
Binky: No, but... "dough"... It's like baking cookies, right? (laughs)
Molly: Binky, Tae Kwon Do isn't baking. It's that martial arts stuff they do on Sports World.
***
Binky, Molly and Rattles watch people doing Tae Kwon Do moves on TV.
Binky: That's it?! It's like ballet!
Announcer (on TV): Coming up next on Sports World, women's Tae Kwon Do exhibition.
Female Fighter (on TV): Ha-yah!
She hits a car once and it breaks in half.
Binky: Huh?!
Molly+Rattles: (gasp)
Binky slides off the couch.
***
The kids are eating lunch in the school cafeteria. Binky steps up to Buster.
Binky: Buster, that frozen yoghurt looks good!
Sue Ellen comes by.
Sue Ellen: We're on for three, right?
Binky: Just make sure you're there.
Sue Ellen: Okay. See you.
She leaves.
***
The clock shows three o’clock. Sue Ellen waits by the basketball hoop. Binky looks around a corner. In his imagination Sue Ellen wears a Tae Kwon Do suit and kicks over the hoop.
Sue Ellen (in fantasy): Hi-yah!
Binky ducks back behind the corner where Rattles and Molly are waiting. A horn sounds.
Binky: Oh man. Haha. Did you hear that? My mother's calling me!
Rattles: That was a truck horn.
Binky: I'll deal with that pipsqueak on Monday.
He walks away.
***
Binky, Molly and Rattles sit in a movie theater before the movie starts.
Molly: I bet that Sue Ellen is spending the weekend scared!
Rattles: She probably won't sleep.
Binky: Yeah! (laughs)
Sue Ellen appears behind his seat.
Sue Ellen: Hi, Binky! Where were you this afternoon? I waited.
Molly: He had something more important to do.
Sue Ellen: Oh. Monday after school, then?
Rattles: He'll be there, don't worry.
Molly: You better hope what happened to the last guy he fought doesn't happen to you! She thinks. Who was the last guy he fought?
Rattles: I don't remember.
Other Kids: Shh!
***
It is three o’clock on Sue Ellen’s watch. She stands by the basketball hoop while Arthur and Francine stand nearby with a kite.
Sue Ellen: Have you guys seen Binky? He was supposed to meet me here at three.
Arthur: He volunteered to clap erasers after school.
Binky stands in front of the school clapping erasers.
Binky: (coughs)
Sue Ellen: I think Binky's scared of me.
Francine: I hope so. Then he'll know what it feels like.
Sue Ellen: What happened to the last guy who fought Binky?
Arthur: I dunno. Who was it?
Francine: You know, I can't remember anyone ever fighting Binky.
Binky: (sneezes)
The ground shakes.
***
Arthur and Francine are flying a kite outside the school when Binky comes.
Binky: (whistles Ode to Joy)
He looks around.
Francine: Sue Ellen left.
Binky: She ran away, huh?
Francine: She said if you were too scared to fight, she'll call it off.
Binky: Scared?! Maybe you'd like to take her place, huh?! I've just been very busy! He starts walking away, then stops. Er...can I talk to you guys?
Arthur: Us? Okay, I guess.
Binky: Well, not here.
***
Arthur, Binky and Francine sit on the merry-go-round by the school.
Binky: I can't talk to Molly and Rattles, because... they wouldn't understand. He spins the merry-go-round. See...I've never fought anybody before.
Arthur: Never?? Binky stops the merry-go-round. Arthur falls off. Ah!
Binky: They all ran away, and... I'm worried I might...hurt that little pipsqueak. Yeah!
Francine: Well, if you weren't always picking fights and trying to scare everybody, you wouldn't have this problem now.
Binky: But it's what I'm good at.
He spins the merry-go-round again.
Arthur: That's true. He is good at it.
Francine: Maybe you should use some of that energy for something constructive... like music.
Binky stops the merry-go-round. Arthur flies across the lawn.
Binky: That's it! I'll beat her in music. Yeah! That's how I'll humiliate her!
Francine: That's not what I meant, Binky.
Binky shakes Francine’s hand.
Binky: Thanks! Thanks a lot! I've gotta go practice.
He leaves. Arthur rubs his head. Francine’s hand is still shaking.
Arthur: Are you okay?
Francine: Fine, just fine!
***
At the music recital in the auditorium/cafeteria.
Miss Krasny: Thank you, Prunella. Next, a classical piece for clarinet and alto saxophone.
The audience claps as Binky and Sue Ellen walk on stage.
Binky: Ladies and gentlemen. Before we begin our classical piece, we will play improvisational jazz. (to Sue Ellen:) If you're not up to it, just sit out, sister!
Sue Ellen looks surprised, then angry. Binky starts playing a solo. Miss Krasny signals to stop.
Miss Krasny: Shh!
Audience: (cheer)
Sue Ellen plays a solo, partly on her knees. Miss Krasny starts dancing. Binky walks off the stage.
***
Binky walks out of the auditorium and starts hitting rocks with his clarinet. Arthur comes to the door.
Arthur: Binky, everybody's looking for you.
Binky: Why?
Arthur: They're applauding you.
Binky: Not me, her. She was better than me. She beat me.
Arthur: Always beating everybody isn't the most important thing.
Binky: Well to me it is. I'm not the best at anything. I got held back a year, remember.
Arthur and Binky throw stones at a tree.
Binky: Mine went higher! Everybody’d laugh at me if I didn't beat them.
Arthur: Maybe they wouldn't laugh at you, maybe they'd actually like you.
Binky: What do you know?
Arthur: All I know that together you and Sue Ellen sounded the best of anyone.
Binky: Well, if everybody's gonna cry about it, I guess I could go back.
Arthur: Yeah, that's right. We're all gonna cry.
Binky: Well, don't.
He walks back inside.
***
Sue Ellen and Binky play together.
Audience: (cheer)
Sue Ellen: I don't wanna fight with you, Binky.
Binky: Okay, if that's what you want.
He grins.
Sue Ellen: But if you ever want to, I'm ready.
The grin disappears.
Binky: I'll remember that.
***
In the school cafeteria Buster, Arthur, Francine and Brain sit at a table. Brain crumples up the drawing of Binky.
Brain: I guess we won't need the emergency anti-Binky plan anymore.
Other Kids: (gasp)
Binky comes in and is about to bully Alex. Francine smoothes out the drawing.
Francine: Okay. Back to the plan!
Binky takes Alex’s donut.
Binky: Ha! He is about to eat it when Sue Ellen comes. Er...just checking for harmful objects. Can't be too careful in this cafeteria. He gives back the donut and backs away. Have a nice day!
Arthur: There's only one real anti-Binky weapon!
He shows a drawing of Sue Ellen.
