== Selected Scenes ==
Arthur tells George the plot of a horror movie. George is angry because Buster took his jacket.
Arthur: Anyway, it's a really funny movie. Um, I haven't actually seen it, but Binky told me about it. Hey, George? Do you have the time? 
George: NO! What is it with you people?! Get your own watch!    He walks away. Arthur is stunned for a moment.
Arthur: Fine. Forget it.
George: Wait! Arthur! I'm sorry.     He runs after Arthur.
They talk it over in the Sugar Bowl.
George: And now Buster's wearing my jacket too. I never wanted to trade in the fist place.
Arthur: So why did you agree to it? You could've said no. 
George: Oh, I don't know. I just didn't. 
Arthur: You can't keep saying yes to Buster every time he wants something. What if he wants your shoes next time?  In George's imagination his shoe disappears. 
George: You're right, I have to do something. But I'm really bad at saying no. What if I lose my nerve? 
Arthur: Maybe there is someone you could practise with. 
George is on his bed with Wally.
George: Okay, so you're Buster and you have to get the juice from me. Got it? 
Wally: But I can't do Buster! Can't I be someone else? I do a mean Pinocchio! 
George: No. 
Wally: Well, at least gimme ears! I need my props! 
Wally is now wearing stockings as ears.
Wally: (sniffs) Yech! Did you wash these? 
George: We're starting, Wally. 
Wally: Okay. Ahem! Hey, George, can I have that box of juice in your hand? 
George: No, you can't. 
Wally: What?! After all we've been through I can't have one measly box of juice? I thought we were friends! I trusted you, George. I treated you like my own flesh and blood! Why, George, why?! 
George: Okay, okay, you can have the juice! 
Wally: Pineapple? Yuck! I hate pineapple!    He throws the juice into the trashcan.    Hey, that was fun. What do you want me to take from you next? 
George: I think I'll practise alone.
Buster knocks on George's door.
Buster: George?
George: Go away! There's no one here.
Buster: Aw, c'mon, George. Please open up. I just wanna talk to you.    
George opens the door and gives Wally to Buster.
George: Here. Try not to lose him.   
He closes the door. Buster looks surprised and sad.
Buster: I don't want your dummy. I came to give you your stuff back.
Inside, Buster puts George's belongings on his bed.
Buster: Here's your jacket, the pencil I borrowed the other day, and your tape recorder. Press "play".   
Buster (recording): „Hi, George. I'm sorry I kind of made you lend me all this stuff.  I didn't mean to. And if I knew how it made you feel, I wouldn't have done it. Anyway, thanks for being a good friend.“   
The boys smile at each other.    
Buster (recording): (sings:) "Funky rabbit! Funky rabbit! Yeah, I'm a funky rab-rabbit!"
Buster: Hh!  He turns off the recorder.   Hehehe. Thought I recorded over that part. 
George: You heard me on the tape?
Buster: Yeah. Anyway, no hard feelings?   He offers his hand. George shakes it.    Oh, and can I ask a favour? 
George: W-what is it? 
Buster: Next time, if something is bothering you, could you just tell me? It'll save us both a lot of time. 
George: Sure. You still want to go to Muffy's?
Buster: Yeah.
George: Okay. I'll meet you downstairs.    
George picks up Wally and takes him to the closet.
Wally: He's not such a bad guy! Hey, now he's brought your jacket back, can I borrow it? 
George: No.
Wally: How about the tape recorder?
George: Nuh-uh.
Wally: A pencil? I could use something to clean my ears. 
George: Good night, Wally.    He closes the closet door.
