[A 1930s park] Narrator: It was a beautiful Tuesday, which was terrible for Arthur. [Arthur sits scowling] Arthur: The sun is entirely too loud today. [Barnaby skips over] Narrator: Barnaby, however, was an optimist. [Barnaby offers a flower] Barnaby: Morning! I brought a cheerful daisy! [Arthur stares flatly] Arthur: Keep it away. It mocks my misery. [A brass band appears] Barnaby: Music! You can't be sad around trombones! [Arthur covers his ears] Arthur: Cease! I want to complain about municipal plumbing! [The band vanishes] [Barnaby sits by Arthur] Narrator: The world stopped trying to be happy. [Barnaby nods] Barnaby: The plumbing really is abysmal, isn't it? [Arthur smiles] Arthur: Finally, someone understands.
