| - Binky: (shivers) That's cold! (he bumps into Buster and they both fall into the lake) Binky: This water is f-freezing! Arthur (to Binky and Buster): HEY, WATCH IT! Arthur (now to the viewers): Do you know why parents send their kids to camp? For punishment! Oh sure, some of it is fun, but a lot of it isn't. Arthur: It looks like a regular hamburger, right? WRONG! It's a wormburger! And on Monday, they serve Macaroni and Fleas! Arthur: And how can you sleep with those hungry mosquitoes trying to break into your tent? Arthur: It can get pretty scary here at night. BUT... the scariest thing of all is... Arthur: THE GIRLS! David Read: Now Arthur, we want to know everything you're doing. So write us every day! Arthur: Oh Dad, do I have to? Jane Read (carrying a stack load of envelopes): I made it as easy as I could for you! They're all stamped and addressed! All you have to do is write a little note and mail them off! (kisses Arthur on the cheek) Arthur: Oh, alright. Buster: Let's make sure we get a tent together, ok? Brain too! He brought part of his collection. Brain: 136 copies! D.W.: ARTHUR! ARTHUR! You almost forgot your Bionic Bunny underwear! Arthur: D.W.! Arthur: GIVE ME THOSE! Binky: Hey Arthur! (summons him) Arthur: (sits next to Binky) So, what is it? Binky: You can't talk to Francine, she's a girl! I was here last year and it's always boys against girls! Arthur: Why? Binky: That's a baby question! Arthur: No it's not! Why is it always boys against girls? Binky: Because... as far as the girls are concerned, we're the enemy. But I'm gonna get the jump on them. (digs in his backpack and gets out itching powder) GRADE A INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH ITCHING POWDER! JUST WATCH! (attempts to put it on Prunella, but the bus hits a bump, making the powder go all over Binky. He gets super itchy as everyone on the bus laughs) Sue Ellen: Is that our camp? Binky: That's Camp Horsewater! Those kids are REALLY tough! Bunny Horsewater Camper: Hey, looks like the new batch of Meadowcroak pipsqueaks! Red Haired Cat Horsewater Camper: Wait till they see what we've got in store for them! GRRRR! Horsewater Campers: (laugh) Counselor Becky: Welcome to Camp Meadowcroak! I'm Becky, your counselor! Now, circle up and I'll tell you what we've got planned for the next week! One thing we always look forward to is our annual scavenger hunt against Camp Horsewater. The winning team gets the all-camp scavenger hunt grand trophy! Arthur (in excitement): HEY! Binky (whispering): Forget it, Arthur. Camp Horsewater's won it three years straight! Muffy: Hello everyone! Sorry that I'm late, I had a hair appointment! Millicent Crosswire: I don't think Muffy will need her fur coat. Muffy: But Mumsy, what if there's a chilly evening? Ed Crosswire: Can you tell us where we can connect our little Muffin's air conditioner? Counselor Becky: (sighs) Binky: Let's see, sneezing powder, stink bombs, wind-up mice... Arthur: Binky, you shouldn't pull that stuff on the girls! Binky: Why not? Arthur: Well, how would you like it if someone did that to.... Binky: Huh? Arthur: What's that? Binky: Let's see. Arthur: OH NO! Arthur: I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT THIS MEANS WAR!!!! Arthur: Day 1... Dear Mom and Dad, IT'S WAR! We made a surprise attack on the enemy today, but they were too tricky! Jane: Tomorrow, we go head to head in the canoe race. It doesn't look good for our side. Arthur: ALRIGHT! Sue Ellen: (giggles) Arthur (continues writing): I don't know how much longer we can hold out against the girls. I can't tell you where I'm writing from; it's a secret! JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE! Brain: (smells something unusual) Arthur: What is it? (goes outside and sees a skunk in a cage) OH NO! AAAAAAH! Brain: A mutant creature of the slime, swam revenge on all living things, trembled humans everywhere! Buster: W-what was that? Binky: Um, nothing, keep reading! Brain: Nothing can stop the hideous midnight.... Arthur: Relax you guys, it's probably just Francine trying to pull another one! Buster: Yeah, you're right. Come on, we'll teach them a lesson! Arthur: Alright Francine, we know you're out there! You don't scare us! Arthur: What's that?! Binky: M-midnight ghoul?! Francine: See? I told you they were trying to scare us with those noises! Arthur: It wasn't us! It was the midnight ghoul! Sue Ellen: Hey, these aren't ghoul tracks, these are bear tracks! Everyone: BEARS?! Francine: It's Muffy and Prunella!!! Sue Ellen: Those rotten rats!! Francine: Let's get them! Arthur: I've got a better idea! Francine: What? Like hide in your tent under the blankets? Arthur: We can fix them tomorrow at the scavenger hunt if we all work together. But we'll have to call it truce. (Everyone else and disagrees and protests) Arthur: Well, that's how you feel. I sure had a stupendous sure-fire plan! Everyone: ARTHUR, WAIT! Counselor Becky: And finally, the last item the team must find to win the scavenger hunt is a spotted frog! Everybody ready? Scavenger hunt starts in 5 seconds! 3, 2, 1... GO! (Both camps run and find things on their list) Arthur (to Francine): Be careful, I hear that there's a hungry bear in the woods! Francine: A bear? Oooooh...... Francine: We had a ton of balloons at the lake party. Arthur: (spots the balloon on a boat) GOT IT! Bunny Horsewater Camper: Wrong, I GOT IT, SUCKER! (laughs and runs off) Francine: Hey, that's ours! Arthur: Hey you, get back here! Brain: Blue sunglasses. This one will be easy, I've got some in the tent. Red Haired Cat Horsewater Camper: Thanks, pal! Prunella: HEY, GET OUT OF THERE! Red Haired Cat Horsewater Camper: Give up, no way you're gonna win! Sue Ellen: HEY! Dog Horsewater Camper: Gotta be faster than that to catch frogs! (It's sunset and the gang only found one thing on their list) Binky: The only thing we found on the list is your flashlight. The way I see it, we've already lost! Francine: Arthur, they're going to win! When are you going to put your sure-fire plan into action? Arthur: Well, I think it's finally dark enough! Okay everybody, let's go! Horsewater Campers: We're #1! We're #1! Yeah Yeah! We're #.... Dog Horsewater Camper: Did you hear that? Francine: HELP! A BEAR! Other Meadowcroak Campers: HE'S AFTER US! A BIG BEAR! HE'S HUGE! Horsewater Campers: (frantically panic) Horsewater Campers: (gasp and climb a tree) Arthur: Quick! Scare him away! Throw something at him! Bunny Horsewater Camper: Hey, that bear's an awfully good catch! Something fishy's going on here! (The frog hops out of the bag and lands into the "bear") Arthur: WE WON! WE WON! Brain: Counselor Becky, you'll see that our team has secured every item on your list! Counselor Becky: Not quite. There's one more item! Brain: Huh, what is it? Counselor Becky: A postcard! Arthur: A postcard? A postcard! Where did I put it? (digs through his pockets and finds the postcard) AHA! A POSTCARD! Arthur: (accepts the all camp scavenger hunt trophy from Counselor Becky) Three cheers to us! We're a team! Everyone: (cheers) MEADOWCROAK! MEADOWCROAK! WE'RE #1! (cheers more) Arthur: Dear Mom, Dad, D.W., and Kate, Camp is Great! I want to come back next year! Love, Arthur! (END)
