Rhonda (claps a hand over Harold's mouth)
- Sssh, I told you never to mention that night ever again!
- (after when Harold showed Rhonda their egg that has tape all over it)
Rhonda
- What did you do, Harold!?
Harold
- Nothing.
Rhonda
- Harold, this is not our egg. This — I don't even know what this is. What did you do with Courtney?
Harold
- Uh, I, Uh... Oh! I was hungry!
Rhonda
- You...ate...our...baby?

Eugene's Pet
Edit
Arnold opens the bathroom stall and he and Eugene enter it with Henry’s deceased body in his goldfish bowl.
Arnold: “You gotta do it, Eugene, it’s time.”
Eugene walks around over to the toilet.
Eugene carefully dumps Henry’s deceased body right into the toilet.
Eugene: [Devastatingly] “Goodbye, Henry.”
Eugene tries to flush Henry’s deceased body down the toilet, but he refuses to do it.
Eugene: [Tearfully] “Oh, I can’t do it, Arnold, [Weeps Silently] I had Henry since he was a little baby goldfish.”
Arnold: “Okay, I’ll flush it for you, here.”
Arnold almost flushes Henry’s deceased body down the toilet, but Eugene stops him.
Eugene: [Tearfully] “Wait!”
Arnold: “You really loved him, huh?”
Eugene: [Tearfully] “Yeah.”
Arnold: “What if we bury Henry someplace we can always go visit him? that’d be better, wouldn’t it?”
Arnold and Eugene walk around outta the men’s restroom with Henry’s deceased body.
Meanwhile...................
[Crows Squawking]
[Light Gray Kitty Cat Meowing]
[Church Bell Tolling In Background]
Harold: “There’s gonna be food at the house there, right? there better be a potluck after this thing.”
Arnold: “Shhh.”
Arnold: “Okay, go ahead and put him in.”
Eugene: “Um, aren’t we gonna say something about Henry 1st?”
Gerald: “Like what?”
Phoebe: “Well, it’s customary at funerals to give a eulogy for the deceased person or creature.”
Helga: “Alright, since I’m obviously the most experienced public speaker of any 1 here………”
Eugene: “Um, I prefer if it wasn’t you, Helga, no offense, but I’m not sure you really well appreciated Henry.”
Helga: “I appreciated him just fine, you pathetic little………(Arnold elbows her hard in the right shoulder) ow!”
Eugene: “Gerald should do it.”
All 5 PS 118 4th grade students: “Yeah, yeah, Gerald, Gerald’s our right hand man.”
Gerald stands right on Henry’s tomb tire.
[Gerald Clears His Throat]
Gerald: “Arnold………..”
[Arnold Playing Silver Harmonica]
Gerald: “Henry wasn’t the biggest of the best lookin’ goldfish, so no 1 came to buy him for a long time, he thought he’d never find a home, then 1 day, a lonely boy came into the pet store, he was kind of a geek, really, but he needed a pet and he wanted Henry and that was the start of a beautiful friend, Henry was a simple fish, he didn’t ask for much, a few flakes of fish food, his little plastic castle, that little guy with the mask, even though that didn’t turn out so good, but these were the things he loved and swimming, oh, yes, swimming with the big thing with him, right up to the end, when he was struck down in a bizarre twist of fate by a runaway yo-yo, and so we say, ‘Goodbye’, Henry, you were a good pet fish to the end.”
[Light Gray Kitty Cat Yowling]
The light gray kitty cat jumps right into Henry’s tomb pit and takes away Henry’s deceased body now wrapped in tissue paper.
Eugene: “Henry!”
[Light Gray Kitty Cat Yowling Again]
Eugene, Eugene!
Edit
- What the heck is "Eugene Eugene," Eugene?
- The role of Betty will be done by Lila Sawyer, and the part of Lawrence goes to Arnold... hmmm, I can't even read my own handwriting.
False Alarm
Edit
Gerald
- Helga, baby, put your feet up. I’ll tell it.
Curly
- Because three months, two weeks, and four days ago, Eugene borrowed my favorite pencil - the pencil I got last summer at Wankyland - and then, when he finally returned it, it had chew marks all over it! And he sharpened it down to the metal parts! I couldn't sleep! I couldn't eat! All I could think about was Eugene writing with my pencil, Eugene chewing on my eraser and Eugene sharpening, sharpening, SHARPENING!!! And then, when he finally gives it back to me, he says, 'Oh, here Curly.' Like it was NO BIG DEAL!
- I couldn't take this lying down. See, I got a plan — the fire alarm. All I had to do was plant the right clues: the peanut butter, the glasses, and, to top it all off, the pencil. Bingo, he would be branded for life! Ahhhh Ahhhhh Ahhhahhh!
Curly (Dementedly)
- I did It! I pulled the fire alarm! And I'd do it again, too! See? (Laughs dementedly as we hear the fire bell ringing and Curly pulling the levers down)
- Stop that!
Family Man
Edit
- I like to work in the restaurant.
- I'm telling you, we could pull this off.
- I suppose I could be Mrs. Hyunh for just one night.
Ernie Potts
- And I'll be his brother, Edwin. Arnold will be his son, Grandpa will be his father.
Grandma (coming in from the kitchen)
- And I'll be Mary, Queen of Scots!
- Pookie, you just stay out of the way.
Man
- Who are you?
Grandma
- Why, I'm Mr. Hyunh's sister. And I'm also Mary, Queen of Scots. (cackles)
Field Trip
Edit
- Nothing like a field trip ha, Arnold?
- Huh? Oh, are we in the Aquarium yet?
Gerald
- Not yet.
- (Harold hits Eugene with a spitball)
Gerald
- Well, we better get there soon, everybody's getting kind of restless.
Arnold
- Awesome.
- Look, I'm a whale. (drinks a sip of milk and spits it out through his nose)
Arnold
- Well, let me ask you something Grandma. How would you feel if you were living in the ocean and some scientists captured you and put you in a tank?
Arnold's Grandma
- WHAT!? No sir! They'll never catch me! NEVER! (throws pillow, which breaks a glass object offscreen)
Arnold
- Calm down, Grandma! It's a hypothetical question.
Guard (taunting the animals at the aquarium)
- Here, have a cookie. Ha-ha, you tossed your cookies!
- Go! You're free, run like the wind!
Fighting Families
Edit
Game Show Host
- And from PS. 118, meet Arnold and his family. Phil, Pookie, Ernie, and and Mr. Heeee-yun!
- It's H-WIN!!
- One more comment, Hyunh, and I'll give you a knuckle sandwich, plenty with mustard!
- I'll give you both a knuckle sandwich!
- That's odd, I don't remember packing any sandwiches.
Ernie
- Oh, good one, Hyunh!
Mr. Hyunh
- You push me!
Ernie
- Yeah! Well, Gramps stepped on my toe!
Grandpa
- I did not! This is stepping on your toe! (steps on Ernie's foot)
Mr. Hyunh
- Pluto, Pluto!
Ernie
- Not Pluto, Pluton! You idiot!
- Huhhh... Huhh... Hi.
Contest Lady
- And the winner is Arnold... there seems to be a smudge over the last name.
- That must be you, Arnold, on the count that you're the only kid named Arnold in this whole danged school.
Fishing Trip
Edit
Grandpa Phil (Spotted a dead owl)
- Aw, look, a dead owl. Breakfast!
- I just know we'll wake up tomorrow to a better day!

- My knees are weak.
Grandpa Phil
- My knees are fake.
- Oh! Let's just fish for the Halibut!
Four-Eyed Jack (episode)
Edit
- Wait one minute. You're telling me that this place is haunted?
- Well, no, that would be irresponsible. What I am trying to say is — YES, IT IS HAUNTED! BY THE VENGEFUL, UNHOLY, CRYPT REEKING GHOST OF FOUR-EYED JACK‼ (Hands Arnold the glasses) Here you go, short man. You'll be hearing from him tonight.
- Ghost? I don't believe in ghosts. I'm not the least bit superstitious.
Susie (From inside)
- What do you mean you're not superstitious? You keep a horse shoe in your pants.
Oskar
- Don't mock my families traditions!
Oskar
- I know, let's catch him and sell him to the circus! We can make money.
- Um...boo!

- They're probably Grandma's cats. She's... uh... collecting them...
Gerald
- Collecting them?
Arnold
- Don't ask...
- Happy Friday the 13th! -cackling laugh- Well, I'm going to go collect all the black cats in the neighborhood and walk them under a ladder.
Full Moon
Edit
Harold (heard Principal Wartz coming out of his office)
- Here he comes. Get ready on three, (Harold, Stinky, and Sid put on some masks) one...
- Are really gonna go through this?
Harold
- Shh! Two... (they unzipped their pants and Principal Wartz walked down the hallway) Three! (everyone except Arnold bended down)
- What the — what is this? (puts on his glasses and saw Harold, Stinky, and Sid mooning him) Oh, my! (Harold, Stinky, and Sid ran out of the hallway and started laughing) Come back here you hooligans! (Harold, Stinky, and Sid ran out of the school and Principal Wartz was panting) You won't get away with this!
- He gave me four weeks detention.
- Four weeks!?
- But you didn't even do anything!
- I know, Stinky.
- You better not tell on us Arnold!
- (sighs) Look, I gotta go (Arnold Leaves)
- Ya think maybe it's not fair for Arnold to take the blame.
- You mean that we should Principal Wartz that we the one's who did it and get Arnold off the hook?
- NO! NO! NO! Arnold got caught and that's his fault, not ours! We got away with it and that's important! No one is telling Principal Waltz anything! YOU GOT IT ?!!!
Principal Wartz (to Arnold)
- You understand that your permanent record will follow you all the way to Jr. High?
Arnold
- I understand.
Principal Wartz
- And you still won't tell?
Arnold
- No.
Principal Wartz (about mooning)
- Mooning is not funny! It's not a game!
Harold
- I did it, it was me! I'm sorry, Arnold was completely innocent! I'm the mooner! I'm the mooner!!!
Gerald vs. Jamie O
Edit
- You tore my shirt!
- Your shirt?! That's my shirt! The one you stole!
Gerald Comes Over
Edit
- Hey, look! I'm Timberly the Pink Ranger! (Funny, because the first Pink Ranger's name is Kimberly, not Timberly).
- Okay, Gerald, we're almost there. Now at times the things you see may confuse or even frighten you. But just remember, everyone is essentially harmless.
- Arnold, relax. I've been here before. Besides, how weird can your house be?
Gerald (about Ernie)
- Man, he was creepy.
Arnold
- Ya, and he likes you.
Arnold (As Susie's throwing all her stuff into the hall)
- Stand by for pottery!
Gerald Moves Out
Edit
- (Upset over washing Gerald's clothes)
- This lint is your lint.
- (in high pitch voice)
- I'm not your Mother!
- Okay, I’m sorry. (Gerald leaves the room)
Mr. Hyunh (To Arnold)
- I am not his mother!
Gerald
- I'm sorry Arnold. But there's no lifestyle. It's not what I thought it'd be. I need a ticket to use the bathroom, I can't eat your grandma's cooking; "No Offense". I even have to do my own laundry. Look at me, I look like an extra in a hippie movie.
Grandpa
- I'm such a wily old coot.
Martin (mad about Gerald moving out)
- No 9-year old is renting a room in a boarding house. Where's my coat?
Mr. Hyunh
- The rules says all attendants must clean out the lint filter.
- And I'm telling you, that filter was clean as a whistle, when I was through.
Mr. Hyunh
- Then why did I find all of this? This lint. YOUR LINT!
Gerald
- If I drop off my laundry now, how soon will I get it back?
Ernie Potts
- That depends.
Gerald
- Depends on what?
Ernie Potts
- How long it takes you to do it!
Gerald (sad like)
- You mean, I have to do my own laundry?

- Hurry up, you guys! This place is gives me the creeps! It's full of dead people!
- Well, you might as well get used to it, on the count of we'll probably all be buried here someday.
Harold
- Okay maybe, but that won't happen for a long, long time. Right?
Stinky (talking about the Ghost Bride)
- The Ghost Bride will get you and hack you up, just like her sister and her former intended!
Arnold (reading headstone)
- Here lies Cynthia Snell. She lived her life and went straight to... I can't read the rest.
Arnold
- But we have to do something, we can't just stay in here forever.
Harold
- Sure we can, these guys did. (points at two dead corpses)
Arnold
- But they're dead.
Sid
- What's your point?
Sid (to Curly, dressed as a dead bride)
- I can't believe you'd pull such a dirty trick!
- I can't believe how nice you look in that dress!
- Okay it was a dirty trick, I admit it. But I wanted to tell the story! Why should GERALD always get to tell the stories? (imitates Pee-Wee Herman voice) IT'S NOT FAIR!
- (while Curly is tied inside the crypt, he heard someone humming "Wedding March")
Curly
- Helga? Is that you? Come on! This isn't a joke! Let me out! Come on, Helga! Helga?! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Girl Trouble
Edit
- Hey, Helga, you in there? It's your little friend Alfred on the phone!
- Arnold? Calling me? At my house?
Big Bob
- Yeah, Arnold. Whatever. Anyway, he's on the phone for you!
Helga
- Oh, Arnold! So kind, so just, so moral! (is twirling around while the telephone cord is wrapping around her)
- You couldn't help but return to the ways I know and love. (she sighs and falls to the floor with a loud thump, Big Bob hears the fall from downstairs)
- Helga?? Are you there??
- (Helga is on the floor wrapped in her telephone cord)
Helga (sarcastically)
- Yeah, yeah! An agreement sounds great. Have my people call your people and we'll draw up the papers! Yeah, in your dreams, football head! Like I'm ever going to agree with you about anything! And don't ever call me at my house ever again!!! EVER!!! (sighs and Big Bob opens her bedroom door and looks down to her confused, Helga looks up at him and laughs sheepishly)
Big Bob
- I'm not even gonna ask... (leaves her room)
Grandpa
- (looking through a photo album) Heh Heh Heh, there’s Gertie rolling me in honey and staking me on top of an ant hill. (Arnold is seen walking up the stairs) That mischievous, pigtailed little imp. Oh mercy.
Arnold
- Hey Grandpa.
Grandpa
- Why, if it isn’t young Arnold home from his day at school. How come you’re all covered in paint?
Arnold
- Helga poured it on me. So I poured some on her.
Grandpa
- (Stands up) What! Oh my word, you’ve snapped Arnold! You’ve turned into some kind of vicious, paint-pouring thug. (Arnold rolls eyes) I don’t know what to think about you any more. Why didn’t you follow your instincts like I told you?
Arnold
- I did Grandpa.
Grandpa
- I wasn't talking about those instincts. I meant your good ones.
Grand Prix
Edit
- I got it! How about The Muave Avenger?
- Stinky, we are not calling our go-cart "The Muave Avenger".
- (Scene changes)
Arnold
- I cannot believe we called our go-cart "The Muave Avenger".
- Hey, when do I get to drive?
- You get to drive, uh... NEVER!
- (Eugene has come in second.)
Stinky
- Yeah, but we didn't win.
- But I didn't crash.
Stinky
- But we didn't win!
Stinky
- Try, try, and try again till you can't try no longer, and if that don't work, why, you've wasted a whole lot of time trying to do something you just couldn't do.
Grandpa's Birthday
Edit
- (Grandpa believes he has died)
- Well, that's it. I must be in heaven. Oh, no! Oskar's here! This must be the other place!
Arnold
- No, Grandpa, it's the boarding house, you're still here with us.
Grandpa
- Yes, well it's still my time to go, just like my grandfather before me: born in 1830, died in 1921, and his father: born in 1800, died in 1891.
Arnold
- Grandpa! That means they were both 91 when they died!
Grandpa
- 900 carry the three... Oh I'm an idiot! That's right! The family curse is 91, not 81! That means I have ten more years before I'm worm chow! I'm not going to die! At least not now.
- No, Grandpa, you're still with us. Good morning, Grandpa.
- What's so good about it?

Phil: (to Arnold)
Mitzi and I never got along! We never agreed about anything!
Arnold: (pulling out an old picture of Phil and Mitzi playing with their Scottish Terrier Pooter when they were children)
Oh, yeah? What about Pooter?
Phil:
Aw, look, it's Pooter.
Arnold:
And Mitzi.
Phil:
Nah must be some neighborhood kid
Arnold:
No, that's Mitzi. Look at you two. Look at how happy you were together. You looked like you got along great.
Phil:
Our old mutt Pooter. What a wonderful dog smart as a whip. We took him everywhere.
Mitzi: (popped up behind Phil)
Throwing sticks in the park till it was too dark to see anymore
Phil:
And giving him baths in the backyard
Mitzi:
And taking him to the seashore
Phil:
Remember how he used to gas up the care and Dad would say...
Phil and Mitzi: (in unison)
"Jumping Jehosehphat! Who let one?!" yeah
Arnold:
Whatever happened to him?
Mitzi: (glances at Phil)
Well, we kept him in the backyard then one day he got out and we went looking for him.
Phil:
We went all over the neighborhood calling his name.
Mitzi:
By the time we found him, he had been hit by a milk truck...
Phil:
We took him to the vet but...there was nothing they could do for him...

Harold the Butcher
Edit
- Harold Berman! I can't believe my eyes! You stole my beautiful ham! And now it's ruined!
- Aw, I was hungry! I was really, really hungry!
Mr. Green
- That doesn't give you the right to steal from people! (Pointing his finger in Harold's face) YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?!
Harold
- NOOOOO!!!! MOMMY!!!!!!!!
Mr. Green
- I'm gonna have to call his mommy.
- Harold, I'm disturbed about two things. First of all, you stole. Stealing is against the law; Thou Shalt Not Steal.
Harold
- But I was hungry, Rabbi Goldberg!
Rabbi Goldberg
- And secondly and most important, you stole a ham. Ham is not Kosher. Not Kosher at all. We don't eat ham. We haven't for 5,000 years and we don't need to start now. (Crosses his arms)
Harold
- I know! And I'm sorryyyyy!
Rabbi Goldberg
- Yes. I know you're sorry because you did something that got you into trouble. But I don't think you understand why. When I was a young man about your age, I had a friend who admired a vest hanging in a tailor shop. It was a beautiful vest: Red velvet with gold buttons. He coveted that vest, Harold, but didn't have the money to buy it! You know what happened? My friend stole the vest! And he was punished! He had to work at the tailor shop, learning how to cut and sew and stitch so he would see just how much work it takes to *make* a vest. He learned a good lesson. (Crossing his legs and wondering) You can, too, Harold. I have an idea.
Harold
- Do you like being a butcher?
Mr. Green
- Huh? Yeah. I've been doin' it for a long time.
Harold
- What's your favorite kind of meat?
Mr. Green
- Don't you have sweeping to do?
Harold
- What's the difference between a rump roast and a buttstick?
Mr. Green
- Hey, I've got work to do! Go sweep outside! Just 2 more days and he's outta my hair!
Mr. Green
- He's still out there, huh?
- Uh-huh.
Mr. Green
- (Sighs)
- Um, Mr. Blue?
Mr. Green
- It's Green!

- This here yarn of a horror is about the ever-frighting: Monkeycat. In the dingy laboratory of the despicable Dr. Mischief, there lived an old furry cat. One day, the cat snuck into the cage of a frisky monkey and got himself caught. Dr Mischief watched as the monkey and the cat began to fight, they became entangled together and that's when the evil doctor got his big idea. He cut off the monkey's head and sewed on the cat's body and invented...Monkeycat!
- Monkeycat?
Stinky
- Monkeycat!
Gerald
- What's so scary about that?
Stinky
- It's a banana eating milk drinking horror monster, Monkeycat!
Harold (throws his pillow at Stinky)
- That's not scary! That's stupid!

- I've got a husband, a grandson, and a boarding house full of people to be responsible for.

- This heat's so crazy it's got Grandma acting normal.
Grandpa (on broken air-con)
- There's a high-tech solution for everything... Arnold, go down to the store and buy some ice.
- I'll take a snow cone.
- Eighteen dollars.
Eugene
- All I have is seventy cents, what will that get me?
Jolly Olly Man (laughs)
- Nothing!
The Jolly Olly Man
- Haven't you ever heard of supply and demand?
- Well, I demand that you supply me with some ice cream, before I knock your teeth out!
Kids
- No ice cream, no peace!
- Hey! Let me tell you a little about my day, Mr. Jolly Olly Man. The brown-out cut off the air conditioning, my bag of ice melted before I could get it home, I couldn't get into the movies, or the city pool. And now when I finally found a little relief from the heat, a little ice cream. You snatched it away. You better sell me some ice cream at a fair price, or face the consequences.

- You can't do anything, you're just a kid.

- I'm late for school and no one made my lunch.
- Oh, yeah, I did, honey, I put it out for you... it's... it's around here somewhere... (opens oven door) ...Oh, here it is!
Helga
- Moist towelettes, an individual packet of crackers and... a can of shaving cream?
Miriam
- How did that get in there? Uh-oh, uh-oh, that must mean the cheese fizz is in B's medicine cabinet.
- AHHH!!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RUN A BEEPER EMPORIUM WITH MY FACE SMELLING LIKE HICKORY SMOKED CHEDDAR, MIRIAM??!!
- Principal Wartz, I'm Dr. Bliss.
- Oh, Dr. Bliss, I'm Principal Wartz. Welcome to P.S. 118.
Dr. Bliss
- Thank you.
Principal Wartz (nervously)
- What do you mean by that?
Dr. Bliss
- Nothing.
Helga
- What are you looking at?
Helga
- Hey who's the skirt?
Helga
- So I hit him, so what? Brainy he doesn't mind, I do it all the time. What? You would sock him too if he was standing behind you breathing.
Helga
I'm not angry.
Helga
- That's obvious Bob.
Helga
- So, are you a real doctor? I mean, if I suddenly had a heart attack, would you be able to save me?
Dr. Bliss
- Well, there is a heart clinic upstairs, so this would actually be a very convenient place for you to have a heart attack.
Dr. Bliss
- How about we try a little word association? Now, I'm going to read off this list of words, and I want you to say the next word that comes to mind.
Helga (to herself)
- Steady girl, you can do it. Do not say Arnold.

I want to grow up having a fabulous life, traveling around the world with him! Coffee in Paris, roses sailboats, the whole nine yards, I want to have a perfume named after us "Arnold Helga!" I Love ARNOLD!!!!
Helga
- Man. That was building up for a while
Dr. Bliss
- I know. But you said it. And the world didn't end, did it?
Helga
- (sighs) No. I guess I'm pretty sick, aren't I? I mean, I once sculpted Arnold's likeness out of wads of his used gum.
Dr. Bliss

- Yeah, I'm a real beauty.
- To change the grades... or not to change the grades... that is the question....
Helga
- Suffer in her shadow, take sweet black revenge... suffer , revenge.... no contest (Helga decides to redo Olga's grades)
Olga (while lying in bed after getting a B plus)
- "I'm never coming out of my room again. I— I've never even gotten an A-minus!"

Helga
- Yeah, well, what do you know? Olga is evil. She's a pompous, overbearing, arrogant witch. Only, this time, I've got her beat.
Arnold
- Okay. Forget I mentioned it.
Helga (on Arnold's advice)
- If only I could be that kind... but I'm not, so that's that.
Helga (on her parents' concern for Olga)
- Even when she's out of the way, she still ruins everything for me.
- Helga: (Looks into Olga's bedroom, where she's still lying in bed crying) Oh, brother! Look at her in there, crying like a baby, feeling all sorry for herself, all because she thinks she got a B+. Well, I guess there's only one thing left to do. (slams Olga's bedroom door shut and starts to walk to her bedroom) Ah, much better.

Arnold the Angel

- Helga
- Okay here's the deal, you didn't get a B+."
- Olga
- W-what? What are you talking about?
- Helga
- You got straight As, as usual, so I was jealous so I changed the grade. Got it?
Olga
You mean I really did get all As?
Helga
That's right, so you can get out of bed and prance around the house like Mary Sunshine again. You can go can go back to being the golden child and go ahead and tell Mom and Dad what I did, so they'll reward you and punish me like they always do. Everything's back to normal, bucko.
Olga
That was a pretty terrible thing to do.
- Helga
- Yeah yeah what's new? Go ahead, tell Mom and Dad.
- Olga
- Well I could do that, I should do that, but I'm not going to tell them.
- Helga
- Uh, what's your angle?
- Olga
- There is no angle Helga, they don't have to know everything that goes on between us. You must think I'm pretty lucky, all the attention I get from them. I have to perform all the time like some kind of wind-up doll, I get really sick of it. You're lucky they hardly even notice you.

- (smiles slightly) Really?

Big Bob
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you little twist top, Big Bob Pataki doesn't adjust, you got it?
Helga
- Daddy, it's not fair to have Olga choose between her true love... and us.

- (Olga runs off crying and weeping to her bedroom)

- Nah, forget it. It's not important to me. Of course we can keep this little secret between us, okay? There's no reason for anybody else to know that 'Oskar can't read'.

Phoebe Skips

Phoebe (jumping on her bed)
- I get to go to the sixth grade! I get to go to the sixth grade!
- Phoebe
- Hello, I'm Phoebe Heyerdahl and I've just been promoted from the fourth grade.
- Mr. Frank
- I suppose you think that makes you special or something... Grab a seat...
- Mr. Frank
- Now which one of you special people is going to grace me with your presence up here at the black board... How about you Maria...?
- Maria
- Gosh, I'd love to sir, I really would. Only... I think Phoebe had her hand up first.
- Mr. Frank
- Whatever, I just need a body...

Phoebe's Little Problem
Edit
- Phoebe don't you think you're overreacting?
- No Arnold, I think I'm being perfectly rational considering the circumstances.
Arnold
- Come on Phoebe, you know you can't run away from this, this farting thing.
Phoebe
- I'm sorry Arnold but I've made up my mind. As long as the other students continue to regard me as a gas passer, I'm afraid I have no other choice than to turn the other cheek. No pun intended.
Mr. Simmons
- Now people one of our own classmates is in trouble and it's up to us to help her through her crisis. I think we should all go over to Phoebe's after school and tell her that she has nothing to be embrassed about. I think we should tell her that we love her and care for her. And if she comes back to school we'll all forget about her little incident and never talk about it again What do ya say?
- Okay if we pull this off then tomororw's Movie Day.
Class
- YAY!!!
- If our dear friend Phoebe went away, we wouldn't know just what to say.
- If I could wish upon a star, I'd wish you'd stay here where you are.
- If you go, then we'll be blue. All us kids and Mr. Simmons too.
- It seems a shame that we'd be parted. Just on a counta, you farted.
- Look Phoebe you gotta snap out of this. I mean criminy, it's not like it's the first time you ever farted. Heck, when you sleepover you do it all the time. You rip'em all night long, they stink to high heaven. It's all I can do to keep from passing out.
- Just get out.
- I got something to say. Phoebe's a farter! Phoebe's a farter! Hahahahaha! (Instantly, he wets his pants) Uh-oh!
- Look! Harold wet his pants![Connie appeared to be the first person to hear that.]
Phoebe (after coming back to school, makes an announcement)
- Until three days ago, I was Phoebe Heyerdahl--4th grader, straight A student, and a good friend to a lot of you. But then something happened. I accidentally... (is nervous to say the word)... uh, well, I accidentally passed—went... (finds the courage) Heck, I'm just gonna say it: I farted! (the kids laugh out loud) Yes, I let one rip, I honked a big jawber, blew the tuba, popped a wafter. You all thought it was pretty funny. (kids stop laughing seeing how furious see is) I guess if I were in your shoes, I think it was kind of funny too. But ever since then, I've gone from being Phoebe Heyerdahl to just that girl who farted—and I don't think it's fair, because I'm more than that! If you ask me, I don't have anything to be ashamed of; I think YOU'RE the ones who should be ashamed!
Helga (having just failed at cheering Phoebe up to Arnold)
- Well, it's all up to you now, footballhead.
Arnold (walks in)
- Phoebe? Do you feel any better?
Phoebe(emerges from under blanket showing trust in Arnold)
- Actually, Arnold, I feel worse. I know now that no one is ever going to forget what I did. From now on, when people look at me, the only thing they'll see is a girl who flatulated.
Arnold
- That's not true.
Phoebe
- Get real Arnold! 9 years of living have been reduced to one, to one, solitary fart!
Arnold
- Come on Phoebe. You know there's more to you than that.
Phoebe
- Well of course there is, Arnold! I'm smart and funny! I'm neat, and clean, and organized! I have a perfect attendance record, and I'm VERY good at checkers!
Arnold
- Well, then you have to do something to make people remember all those things. You have a choice to make. You can run away from your problems, sit in your room and hide from the world. Or you can go back to school and stand up for yourself.
Phoebe
- I can't do that, Arnold. I can't face them.
Arnold (Arnold's final line of the series)
- If you can't face the class, how will you ever face yourself?
Stinky
- Harold wet his pants! Aaahahahaha
Harold

Rhonda (to Phoebe)

Harold (offscreen and still crying)

Stinky (About Pigeon Man)
- Does he bite?
- (After seeing Pigeon Man's home in ruins) ...What?! This is awful! Who did this?
- ...People...
- We can rebuild the cages, sweep up; your birds will come back.
- Of course they'll come back: They're birds. I trust them. I understand them. It's people I don't understand...You see, Arnold, it's time for me to leave here. Some people are meant to be with people, and others, like me, are just different.
- Pigeon Man, wait. None of this would've happened if I hadn't—
- Arnold, don't be sad. You taught me that some people can be trusted... And I'll never forget that.
- Where will you go?
- Somewhere I can live in peace with my friends. Don't you see? I have a mission to help pigeons everywhere. Wherever there's a bird in need of seed; I'll be there. Wherever there's a helpless flock suffering some abuse; I'll be there. Wherever there's a pigeon with a weak wing or a broken beak; I'll be there.
- Vincent?
- I just hope there's another Arnold where I go next. (A flock of pigeons gather and take him away) Remember, Arnold, always wash your berries before you eat them...And fly towards the sun!
- Goodbye, Pigeon Man.

Edit
- There is no way I'm going to recycle bottles and cans to pay for my lunch! (Scene changes; shows her digging through a dumpster)
- I've always looked forward to my weekly shower. I've left a little backhair in the drain. Sorry. Might want to clean it out before you rubba-dub-dub. HAHAHA!!!!
- Fine, I admit it. I'm poor, P-O-O-R POOR!!! I don't have nice new clothes anymore, I can't afford lunch or bus fare and now my family has to live well below earth sacreful comfort level in the dumping old boarding house, AHHHHH!!!!!
- Rhonda, come on. Dinner's ready.
- What's the point of eating when your poor? After all I'm only going to die of misery, anyway.
- (after being flunged by the Murphy Bed in which Arnold puts her back down, seeing her in a tantrum) I HATE THIS BED!!! I HATE THIS STUPID PLACE!!!! AND I HATE BEING POOR!!!!! I only know how to be rich. Being rich is the one thing I'M REALLY GOOD AT!!!
- Listen to yourself, Pathetic. I mean just because your not rich anymore, doesn't mean your a different person. You were Rhonda when you had money and you can still be the same Rhonda now that you don't. Unless being rich is all you're about.
- So welcome to the Sunset Arms. If you need any help, just ask Pooky. She's the brains of the operation. (sees Grandma in a conquisador's outfit chasing Abner) Pooky don't run, remember your hip. (hears something break) Too late.
- I claim this dining room in the name of Spain (puts plate on the table). OLE!

The Baseball
Edit
Mickey Kaline (to Arnold)

- Mom?
- Helga? What on earth are you doing here?
Helga
- I need you for a minute, Mom. I mean, I need to talk to you.
Miriam
- You need me for a minute, Mom. Listen, I am sorry, Helga, but this is just not a good time. I mean, we'll be back on in five minutes and they need me. So whatever it is, it'll just have to wait until later, okay? So, go on, bye-bye, go do your homework or something.

The List
Edit
- The list for a kid's perfect Saturday: watch every cartoon from Six AM 'til Dance Craze, while eating three bowls of sugar chunk cereal; ride your bike down the steepest hill in the neighborhood, and you all know which one that is; play catch with every kid in the park; and finally, go to the movies and sit through it three times!

- Savor this moment, grandson, when your enemy surrenders. Open the gate!

- They cleaned that lot! It's not fair.
- Now if Arnold and his friends had to do this, they must have had a good reason.
- (Quietly to Arnold) Head for the hills boy, I'll try to slow 'em down.
Arnold
- No, Grandpa. We know what we've done. You see, this is how the lot looked before we cleaned it up. Before we turned it into Geraldfield and before you guys kicked us out.
Gerald
- So if you want Gerald Field so badly, you can have it just as we found it, A DUMP!

Weird Cousin
Edit
- (Stinky and Arnold are sitting together on the school bench, watching Arnie)
- Stinky

- Arnold
- I know, Stinky. But, he's family. So I would appreciate it if you could be nice to him and just try to like him.
