( twins crying ) i'm so sorry! oh, d.w.! timmy did it. you're crying more than i did and i got stitches in my face. i'm sorry. it was supposed to be fun. no one on the show ever bleeded or got stitches. that's because it's just a dumb show. you're not supposed to do what they do. it's not real. oh. oh. want to come over? we promise to only watch real things so nobody can get hurt. okay. timmy: we could watch wrestling. d.w.: no. it's real. tommy: i know-- football.
4:43 pm
no. but football's real. no. and now a word from me, amelia. and me, eliot. we don't always like what's on tv. so we made our own tv show. we wrote the script... and we did the pictures. here it is. both: ♪ spork an' foon, spork an' foon ♪ ♪ she's a spoon, he's a fork ♪ ♪ spork an' foon! ♪ man: oh, my favorite dinner-- fried pickles, sauteed ketchup pickled yams and a side of baked grapes. yum!

um... woman: hey, what do you know! a high-quality fork and spoon at a low price. both: that's spork and foon to you, buddy. how would you like to work at my new diner? okay. at least we'll get to eat. i get used 40 times a day! i wish i were back home. what's the matter? your prongs can't bear to go in a little more meat loaf? waitress: what do you want? man: i'll have fried pickles, sauteed ketchup, pickled yams with a side of baked grapes. both: it's him! man: spork and foon, my old pals. how'd you guys get here? you threw us away by mistake. get us out of here! i hate meat loaf! both: ♪ spork an' foon! ♪ kids: and now... d.w.: my mother says i'm just imagining that arthur and his friends get all the attention. ahem! hey! hey, over here! see?!
4:45 pm
even when i talk you're looking at them! hello, i'm down here! just because they're older everybody acts like they're more important. but i'm glad i'm not like them. know why? they're always losing teeth and getting spaces in their faces! ( music begins playing ) ( teeth clacking in sync ) ( shattering ) ( teeth clunking ) ( clacking ) ( clacking ) ( shattering ) ( teeth clunking ) ( clinking ) ( song ends ) ( applause and cheering ) bleah! i hope my teeth never fall out so i don't have to look doofy like those older kids.

ick! pwwhh! ( squeals ) chorus: ♪ my fluffy unicorn ♪ ♪ flying down the rainbow through pink and puffy clouds ♪ ♪ with wings made of real feathers ♪ ♪ and flowing mane so proud ♪ ♪ every girl should have one, everybody knows ♪ ♪ when you own a unicorn, your smile grows and grows. ♪ oh! oh! look, fluffy, it's you! ♪ there's something so important that every young girl knows ♪ ♪ a unicorn needs care and love and lots of fancy clothes! ♪ oh, man!

( calculator beeping ) is that hours or days? months. oh! oh! oh! oh! but i need it now! my birthday... was last month. ( moaning ): oh! ( moaning ) if that u.f.o. picture i took during arthur's sleepover was only real i'd be rich and i could buy you that clothes-horse horse-clothes barn.
4:48 pm
don't you worry, fluffy i'll get it for you if i have to. ( snores ) hmm.. ( laughs ) you always look goofy after losing a tooth! so? i got another dollar. the tooth fairy left it under my pillow. say what? the tooth fairy leaves money for baby teeth. why did no one tell me this? you mean you got money for all those teeth every time you lost one? every one. she takes the teeth and leaves the money. who would do that? a fairy. d.w.: so she flies into every house on earth and checks for teeth? ( snoring ) ( grunts ) aah! whoa... arthur: of course not!
4:49 pm
she uses a combination of magic and very advanced computer scanning software. ( pulsating ) that makes sense but what does she do with all those old teeth? arthur: maybe her castle is made of teeth. d.w.: where does she get all the money? you ask too many questions. my tooth is loose! it is not. is too! nope. you're too young to lose teeth. not fair! ten... 11... 14... wow, i got teeth to spare! now, what did arthur do when he wanted to lose a tooth?
4:50 pm
( cries out ) i won't make the same mistakes as arthur. brrr! d.w.: run! run now, sleep later! huh? d.w.: run, go! look, a cat! arthur: d.w. what are you doing?! i'm pulling my loose tooth. if your lazy dog would just run... oh, no! stop it! your tooth is not loose. the only reason to have a tooth pulled is if you have a toothache. d.w. tied pal to her mouth so he'd pull her tooth out. ( coughing ) d.w.! but i have a toothache as big as this house! my tooth needs to be pulled out. she's making it up. am not. it really hurts. watch. ( tapping ) ow!
4:51 pm
d.w., don't do that. tomorrow we'll visit the dentist before the museum. you're all going to the museum? you can come, too, dad. i've got to work. aw... i'd like to go to the museum. rats! hello in there! mom: arthur, take your head out of dr. sozio's mouth! sozio: that's okay. that's what it's for. hey! this is about me, remember? i guess all my teeth have to go. no, your teeth are perfect. the tooth fairy won't visit you for a year or two. see, i told you. d.w.: why won't anyone believe that my tooth needs to come out? uh... because it doesn't?
4:52 pm
whoa! whoa! if i had teeth like that, i'd be rich! i liked the whale, and the mummy was cool, too. a gift shop! can we buy stuff? maybe they're selling mummies! you can each buy one little thing. would you like a unicorn magnet, d.w.? no, it has no clothes. ( francine's voice ): i'm the best athlete in the whole school. hey, when arthur wanted to lose a tooth, he used gum. arthur, i know how you could get rid of that tooth in a flash.
4:53 pm
how? turn into a shark. ( growling ) their teeth always fall out and they just keep on growing new ones. i learned that at the aquarium. and i got this. hmm... it worked for arthur; it'll work for me. mommy, i know what i want. ( cash register rings ) ( d.w. humming merrily ) ( humming ) ( humming ) okay, what are you up to? what do you mean? you've been upset about your teeth and now you're happy. why? i'll tell you a secret if you promise not to tell mom and dad. i promise. the tooth fairy is coming tonight and i'm going to trick her with this. that's not a very good idea. my friends didn't fall for that one, and they're just kids. the tooth fairy's whole job is teeth. oh, arthur, don't be a worrywart.
4:54 pm
i've got it under control. the tooth fairy will never fall for that shark tooth, pal. she might even get mad that d.w. tried to trick her. she might never come to our house again! i could lose all my teeth and never see a penny! what's the point? i better stop this before d.w. ruins it for all of us. tooth fairy... tooth fairy... ( buzzing ) whoa! good one! ( whirring ) oh, this is such a good tooth it's worth more than this. ( cranking ) ( sighs contentedly ) ow!
4:55 pm
why does d.w. have a bowling ball in her room? ( babbling ) shh! ( d.w. mumbling ) tooth fairy... mmm... ooh... ( babbling ) ow! ( babbling ) ow! i didn't know you could stub all your toes at once. is it always this painful to do something nice for your sister? d.w.: look! look what the tooth fairy left me! ♪ i tricked the tooth fairy! ♪ ♪ i tricked the tooth fairy! ♪ it worked. now d.w. won't talk about teeth all the time.
4:56 pm
and she left this on my night table so i'm going to do it again tonight! ( groans ) ♪ i tricked the tooth fairy... ♪ which arthur character are you? i'm buster, he's arthur. he's buster because he likes to eat food. it's delicious! and he's like arthur because he sometimes gets into trouble. mom! we're best friends just like arthur and buster. wow! best friends. (sighs) both: we're best friends. all: which arthur character are you? announcer: the fun continues on pbs kids... whee! announcer: with peg... ow! announcer: and, of course... cat: my dream is to be a dancer. announcer: cat. i am living the dream. announcer: "peg + cat," weekdays on pbs kids or anytime at pbskids.org.
