24 Hours to Live
(Arnold steps up to bat)

- Yeah, good strategy.
Harold (To Arnold)

- — says he's gonna beat you up, eh?
- Well, yeah.
- Gonna give you 24 hours to dangle, eh?
- That's right!
- Big guy, huh? Slow, but with lots of power. Squash you like a bug, eh?
- Yeah, yeah! What should I do?
- I have no idea.
- I've got to think of something, Grandpa.
- Well, you could skip town. But then you'd have to live the rest of your life in fear, always looking over your shoulder, waiting for... that day. You try reasoning with him? Oh, a moron, eh? Well Arnold, I wish I knew what to tell you. In eighty years I think I've only learned one thing for sure.
- What's that?
- Never eat raspberries. (Grandpa holds his stomach)
- Gotta go! (Grandpa runs to the bathroom)
- Twenty-four hours, fifteen minutes and thirteen seconds until you die!

- (Arnold jumps and they land on the sidewalk)
- Arnold, are we alive?
- We're fine.
- Whew. Good thing I saw — uh, I mean — smelled that cab coming.
- You smelled the cab?
- Yeah, you know how it is when you lose one of your senses. The others just kind of kick into overdrive. (sniffs Arnold) Speaking of which, you might want to try a stronger deodorant, football-head.
- Oh, Happy Groundhog's Day, everybody. Yippee! I saw my shadow — and you know what that means!
- We know, Pookie...
Grandpa and Arnold
- Twelve more days of Christmas...
- Um, fellas. Is it just me, or is the floor moving?
Helga (thinks when she dances with Arnold)
- I'm actually dancing cheek-to-cheek with Arnold! He's holding me tight, his hair smells yummy... Oh, who am I kiddin': I love this guy! Maybe I should stop torturing him? Nah, this is way too much fun!
Arnold (thinking when he dances with Helga)
- Oh, man, I really hate this!
Helga (thinking)
- Oh, man, do I love this or what!
- Gerald, I think, you're thinking what I'm thinking.

- ...me and... I'm not helping, am I?
Arnold (Explaining what happened to the money)

- When I was a kid, I wanted nothing more than to be a trapeze artist. But the only job I could get was cleaning up after the elephants. 13 years with my pail and shovel. Following around Jumbo and Big Nellie. I thought about quittin', but I remembered what my grandfather said to me.
- What was that, Grandpa?
- "Don't quit, ya ninny!" So I stuck with it.
- And, eventually, you got a chance to trapeze?
- No! Although I did get an audition as the bearded lady.

- Hey! You two kids! Come back here!

- There some crazy midget clowns that want to kill us!
Sheena's Uncle Earl
- Midget clowns eh? Arr!
Helga (Harold has begun to hug her)
- Get away from me, you big whale!
- Everything that happened today was your fault. You can't do anything right! Take the bus for example. Why do you think we missed it, Harold? Oh, let's see, hmm... maybe was it be because you were too busy eating twice your bodyweight in chocolate, num-nums?! Oh, how about this one? "Let's take the subway, I think it goes to Lincoln." Oh wait, no it doesn't, it goes straight to the bowels of the underworld!! Population: homicidal, toothless, midget clowns!! "I know, let's steal their bike, they won't mind." Now, you'd think that would be enough to fill any moron's day, but you're not just any moron, are you, Harold? You're the king! Your day's just getting started! So, because of your amazing curiosity about the world around us, you pulled the plug out of the bottom of our getaway boat!!! You idiot.

Dino Checks Out
Don Reynolds
- What can you say about a guy like Dino? He was a mean, bitter, selfish, arrogant, back-stabbing... A nasty human being! But Dino had another side, too... He was also a sniveling coward.
- Dino and I had two really great years together, and then we got married.
Lawyer (going over Dino Spamoni's will)
- "My house and money will all go to my most recent ex-wife Candy."
- Can we go home now?
Executor (Reading Dino Spumoni's Will)
- "And I leave my extensive collection of paintings to be equally divided among my five ex-wives-except Bunny, who gets jack-squat."
- Aw, nuts! Take me home, Chooch!
- Maybe it's... rats?
- Rats? There's no rats in the boarding house. 'Cept Oskar.
- That's right. There's no ra— Hey!
Mr. Hyunh
- The ghost of Dino is angry. We must offer him a big fish to make him not so angry. His stomach will be full and then he will go away.
- That's the stupidest idea I ever heard. Let's do it.
- I'm not supposed to tell anyone, but the truth is Dino's not really a ghost.
- Oh, I know.
- You know?
- Course I know. I may be feeble-minded, but I'm not stupid.
- How did you know?
- Ghosts don't take showers.
- Oh.
- They take baths! (chuckles)
- Y'know, for a nine-year-old, you sure like to take the weight of the world on your shoulders. You oughta be out playing with your little friends. Why don't you go out and play some stickball or go see a movie?
- Grandpa, it's two o'clock in the morning.
- There's always a downside with you, isn't there?
- Hey, Oskar, he's not dead! I want my two bucks back!
- Well, youse all came to see a show. Seein' as how I just K.O.'d da headliner, maybe I can fill in. I mean, uh, I may not be DIno-Mania, but I'm an incredible simulation.
Door Number 16
- So I hear you got a package for that secret guy, Mr. Smith.
- Yeah, and I alone have been shouldered with the weighty responsibility of it's safety.
- Cool, let's open it.
- He is very creepy. He gives me the creepies.
Downtown as Fruits
Helga (first line of the series)
- Arnold! (High pitched, 2 Times) Hey Arnold! Get off that stage!
- Sorry.
- Know your lines? Of course you already know your lines. But I don't want to just hear your lines... I want to feel whats in your souls.
- Do vegetables have souls?
- Hey, where are the fruits?
- They're not here, Helga. They never showed up.
- Arn-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ld!
Arnold (across town on a bus)
- Did you hear something just now?
- Wow, people downtown sure are friendly.
- People, People (claps twice). Now remember, a play has a life of it's own, it's got to breath (pounds milk costume). Every food group must build upon the food group that came before it. First, the legumes.
Peapod kid
- Legumes? I thought we were beans.
- You ARE, genius!
Eating Contest
- (the Eating Contest begins serving tacos from El Patio. Harold crams one taco down)
- I love this contest........I love eating........... (crams another taco down and he stops) Wait........I think I ate too fast.........oh, oh.......my belly hurts. AAAAAAAAAAAH! Mommy! (Harold runs off)
- He only took two bites.
- (after Stinky passes out from taking a huge bit of Grandma's Stuffed Bell Peppers)
- What did your grandma stuffed these with, football head? Socks?
- Hey! HEY! That recipe was a secret!
- (the final stage of the contest begins where Seymour and Arnold have to eat the Jolly Olly Man's Ice Cream Mountain. Seymour chows down while Arnold stares sickly with a full stomach)
- I know you can do it, Arnold!
- I've reached the end, Grandpa. I have limits. I'm only 9.
- 9 year old's love cake. Arnold! Remember family, tradition and 50 bucks I got ridin' on this thing.
- (to Seymour who's still eating the mountain)
- Wow. I can't beat that. You really are the Disposal. How ya feeling?
- (burps and then continues eating)
- Think he's feelin pretty good.
Egg Story
- (as Harold and Rhonda are assigned to partner up taking care of an "egg baby")
- Come on Rhonda you know you like me!
- Where in the world would you get a ridiculous idea like that!
- Remember that time at the Cheese Festival where you jumped-
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)
- What did you do, Harold!?
- Nothing.
- Harold, this is not our egg. This — I don't even know what this is. What did you do with Courtney?
- Uh, I, Uh... Oh! I was hungry!
- You...ate...our...baby?

Eugene's Birthday
- REDIRECT Eugene's Birthday/Quotes
Eugene's Pet
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.
[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!
- 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
- Helga, baby, put your feet up. I'll tell it.
- 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
- I like to work in the restaurant.
- I'm telling you, we could pull this off.
- I suppose I could pretend to 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'll stay out of the way.
Mr. Kamacho
- Who is she?
Mr. Hyunh
- Shee...she...uhhh...shess???
- Why, I'm his sister.
Mr. Kamacho
- Your sister?
- And I'm also Mary, Queen of Scots. (cackles)
Mr. Kamacho (after Grandma whacks him with her cane and sees Arnold smiling nervously, he stands up angrily and slams his bib down)
Mr. Hyunh
- Here you go, Arnold. A big combo platter on the house.
- What do I get?
Mr. Hyunh
- You get a taco, made by Rockwell. (points at Rockwell grumbling and clearing out the dishes)
- But he doesn't even know how to make a taco. He puts the cheese in first then the tomatoes then the meat. It's crazy.
Field Trip
- Nothing like a field trip ha, Arnold?
- Huh? Oh, are we in the Aquarium yet?
- Not yet.
- (Harold hits Eugene with a spitball)
- Well, we better get there soon, everybody's getting kind of restless.
- Awesome.
- Look, I'm a whale. (drinks a sip of milk and spits it out through his nose)
- 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)
- 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
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, with plenty of mustard!
- I'll give you both a knuckle sandwich!
- That's odd, I don't remember packing any sandwiches.
- Oh, good one, Hyunh!
Mr. Hyunh
- You push me!
- Yeah! Well, Gramps stepped on my toe!
- I did not! This is stepping on your toe! (steps on Ernie's foot)
Mr. Hyunh
- Pluto, Pluto!
- 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.
- I've decided to pick Ernie and Mr. Hyunh to be on the team with me and Grandma and Grandpa.
- But what about me?!
- Well, Mr. Kokoshka, you can come as an alternate.
Mr. Kokoshka
- An alternate?! Oh, boo! I am leaving now!
Fishing Trip
Grandpa Phil (Spotted a dead owl)
- Aw, look, a dead owl. Breakfast!
- I just know we'll wake up tomorrow to a better day!
- (farts)
- If we make it till tomorrow.
- My knees are weak.
Grandpa Phil
- My knees are fake.
- Let's just fish... for the Halibut!
- (farts)
- This trip stinks! (farts)
Gerald (smells Harold's farts)
- In more ways than one!
Four-Eyed Jack (episode)
- 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.
- Don't mock my families traditions!
- I know, let's catch him and sell him to the circus! We can make money.
- Um...boo!

Friday the 13th
- Happy Friday the thirteenth!
Gerald (sees black cats)
- That's not exactly the sign I was looking for.
- They're probably Grandma's cats. She's... uh... collecting them...
- Collecting them?
- 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.
Arnold and Gerald
- Garlic Chains around our necks
- Save us from this Evil Hex!
Full Moon
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?
- 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!
- What did Wartz do to you?
- He gave me four weeks detention.
- Four weeks!?
- But you didn't even do anything!
- I know, Stinky.
- You better not rat on us Arnold! Cause you know what'll happen if you do!
- (sighs) I won't tell (Arnold Leaves)
- Ya think maybe it ain't 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 all that counts! Nobody is going into Waltz's and telling him what we did! NOBODY! YOU GOT IT ?!!!
- I guess there's no sense in all three of us getting detention.
- I guess you're right Harold. You figured he'll crack and spill the beans?
Principal Wartz (to Arnold)
- You understand that your permanent record will follow you all the way to Jr. High?
- I understand.
Principal Wartz
- And you still won't tell?
- No.
Principal Wartz
- Then you leave me no choice.
Principal Wartz (about mooning)
- Mooning is not funny! It's not a game!
- I did it, it was me! I'm sorry, Arnold was completely innocent! I'm the mooner! I'm the mooner!!!
- I'm guilty too!
- And me! We all did it together!
- Arnold had nothing to do with it!
- He was just a pawn in our horrible, twisted prank!
- He's innocent! He's innocent!
Gerald vs. Jamie O
- You tore my shirt!
- Your shirt?! That's my shirt! The one you stole!
Gerald Comes Over
- Hey, look! I'm Timberly the Pink Ranger!
- 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.
- Yeah, and he likes you.
Arnold (As Susie's throwing all her stuff into the hall)
- Stand by for pottery!
- Aw, he hit the chicken.
Gerald Moves Out
- (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!
- 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.
- 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!
- If I drop off my laundry now, how soon will I get it back?
Ernie Potts
- That depends.
- Depends on what?

- 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.
- 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.
- But we have to do something, we can't just stay in here forever.
- Sure we can, these guys did. (points at two dead corpses)
- But they're dead.
- 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")
- Helga? Is that you? Come on! This isn't a joke! Let me out! Come on, Helga! Helga?! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Girl Trouble
- 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!
- 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)
- (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.
- Hey Grandpa.
- Why, if it isn't young Arnold home from his day at school. How come you're all covered in paint?
- Helga poured it on me. So I poured some on her.
- (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?
- I did Grandpa.
- I wasn't talking about those instincts. I meant your good ones.
Grand Prix
- I got it! How about The Mauve Avenger?
- Stinky, we are not calling our go-cart "The Mauve Avenger".
- (Scene changes)
- I cannot believe we called our go-cart "The Mauve Avenger".
- Hey, when do I get to drive?
- You get to drive, uh... NEVER!
- (Eugene has come in second.)
- Yeah, but we didn't win.
- But I didn't crash.
- But we didn't win!
- 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.
- I'm confused. I thought we were the "Muave Avenger".
Grandpa's Birthday
- (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!
- No, Grandpa, it's the boarding house, you're still here with us.
- 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.
- Grandpa! That means they were both 91 when they died!
- 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.

- Nah must be some neighborhood kid

- 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

- Harold Berman! I can't believe my eyes! You stole my beautiful ham! And now it's ruined!

Mr. Green
- That doesn't give you the right to steal from people! (Pointing his finger in Harold's face) YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?!
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.
- 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)
- 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.
- Do you like being a butcher?
Mr. Green
- Huh? Yeah. I've been doin' it for a long time.
- What's your favorite kind of meat?
Mr. Green
- Don't you have sweeping to do?
- 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!

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?
- Monkeycat!
- What's so scary about that?
- 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.
Arnold (to himself)
- This heat's so crazy it's got Grandma acting normal.
Grandpa (on broken air-conditioner)
- In thee modern times, there's always a smart, high-tech solution to problems like these... Arnold, run down to the store and get us some ice.
- I'll take a snow cone.
- Eighteen dollars.
- 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!
- No ice cream, no peace!
- Hey! Let me tell you a little about my day, Mr. Jolly Olly Man. The brown-out shut down my air conditioner, my bag of ice melted before I could get it home, I couldn't get into the movie theater, 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.
The Jolly Olly Man
- You can't do anything, you're just a kid.
- Arnold, a little cold air is that so much to ask, is it?
Mr. Green (relaxing in his Green Meats freezer area)
- Ah, so what if the door can't be opened from the inside? This is the life.
- Uh, excuse me? I said, "Excuse me." EXCUSE MEEEEE!!!!! Look, you have a right to be angry but we can't let the heat make us that crazy. The Jolly Olly Man is our friend. Harold, have you forgotten that time he sold you that slightly damage snow cone at half-price? And Helga, what about those chocolate-covered bubblegum drumsticks you love? Doesn't he always have 'em in stock? And Eugene, didn't he help that time you you were choking on your favorite rainbow turbo pops?
- I really, really need a doctor.
- The heat is turning us against each other. Jolly Olly Man against kids. Kids against Jolly Olly Man. It's the heat. Don't you see? This has to stop. What do you say?
Helga and the Nanny
- I just have to go to work... somewhere.
- (Mocking Big Bob, bowing theatrically)
- All hail the Beeper King!
- Helga, are those flowers in your hair?
- Yeah, you got a problem with it?
- Wow, Helga, you look just like the girl on the box of hot chocolate.
Helga on the Couch
- 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!
- Moist towelettes, an individual packet of crackers and... a can of shaving cream?
- How did that get in there? Uh-oh, uh-oh, that must mean the cheese fizz is in B's medicine cabinet.
- 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.
- What are you looking at?
- Hey who's the skirt?
- 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.
I'm not angry.
- That's obvious Bob.
- 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.
Dr. Bliss

I Love ARNOLD!!!!
- Man. That was building up for a while
Dr. Bliss
- I know. But you said it. And the world didn't end, did it?
- (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
- You're not sick. You feel your feelings very strongly. You're very creative. (Pauses) Did you say used gum?
- So it's okay to be obsessed about him? You know, the shrines, the 3 AM vigils, the chanted spells?
Dr. Bliss
- As long as you're not hurting anyone it sounds like an okay way to express yourself.
- So animal sacrifices are out?
Dr. Bliss
- Yes, I'm afraid so.
- If you ever tell anyone, I'll rip your tongue out and wrap it around your neck!
- (collides with him and falls) Arnold!
- Sorry, Helga. (helps her up)
- Arnold! I just want to say that, that... that you should watch where you're going, Football Head, quit crashing into me all the time! Sheesh! (Helga runs away.)
- Nice running into you too Helga.
- (watches him from an alley) Look at him, all ticked off. He doesn't get it. He doesn't know my secret. What a sap! What a maroon! He still can't even tell. But I adore him! (looking at her locket) Ohhh, my football-headed love god! I'm okay, you're okay, we're all okay! I love you! Love you! LOVE YOU!
- (Brainy comes out of a corner and hands her a ring.)
- Hey look Brainy, this is just weird. How is it that you're standing behind me again? How did you get in this little arch? Where you waiting for me to come into this alley? What's your deal? So, I am not gonna hit you this time, today I'm feeling generous, but tomorrow look out.
Helga vs. Big Patty

Patty (to Helga)
- Hey, you and Arnold. Do you have some thing for each other?
Helga Blabs It All
- Boy I'm feeling goofy, you know this Arnold guy he's been on my mind morning, noon and night for the past six years. I mean think about it, since I'm currently nine years old that is fully two thirds of my young life, is that crazy or what?
- Why do I torture myself by keeping it all a big secret why not just tell Arnold? La La La La La.
- Hey why am I telling you all this, you don't even know the guy. I'll just call that adorable little football head right know and tell him myself. (Phone rings she gets answering machine.)

- Yeah, well, what do you know? Olga is evil. She's a pompous, overbearing, arrogant witch. Only, this time, I've got her beat.
- 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.

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.

- 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?
You mean I really did get all As?
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.
That was a pretty terrible thing to do.

- 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.

- (Arnold gets freed, and untapes his mouth and removes the dirty sock from his mouth) I wasn't playing "secret agent". I was bound and gagged for 2 hours.

- Uh, Helga, just one question.
- WHAT?! Are you implying that I have some sort of ulterior motive? That I'm after this Ruth person because she happens to be the object of some other kid's affections? Some certain young man that I may my own obsessive affection for? Is THAT your question?! Is THAT your question?!
- No. Uh, actually I was gonna ask you which way to the bathroom.
- Oh, they're right over there by the weiner stand. Oh, and Phoebe, this conversation NEVER happened.

- OK, so it's true. I never learned how to read. Big deal.
- That's Ok. You can still learn.
- Ah, what for? I didn't need to read to become the successful man I am today.
- But you're a paperboy.
- What's your point?
- 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 don't you think you're overreacting?
- No Arnold, I think I'm being perfectly rational considering the circumstances.
- Come on Phoebe, you know you can't run away from this, this farting thing.
- 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.

- 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.

(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)

Arnold (walks in)

Phoebe(emerges from under blanket showing trust in Arnold)

- That's not true.
- Get real Arnold! 9 years of living have been reduced to one, to one, solitary fart!
- Come on Phoebe. You know there's more to you than that.
- 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!
- 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.
- I can't do that, Arnold. I can't face them.

- 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.

- 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.

- Listen to yourself, Pathetic. I mean just because you're not rich anymore, doesn't mean you're 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.

- What the heck is going on here? I'm gone for two lousy minutes and some bimbo is moving in on my territory?! Well, fat chance I'm gonna let that happen. Arnold is gonna be mine on this vacation, and no little beach chippie is gonna come between us!
Grandpa Phil (To ducks, suddenly realizing he was hallucinating)

Grandpa Phil (Picks up shell)
- Hello, 911? This is Grandpa! Yeah, I'm stuck on an island. Hello? Hello? Aw, they put me on hold!
- So you sure he doesn't have a clue?
- Arnold? No way! He's pathetic. He's in love with me. I could probally get him to build me five sandcastles.
- But we just need one, baby.
- I know -- one sandcastle, we get first prize, I totally blow off Arnold and get to be on Babewatch, this plan worked out so perfectly.
- (Summer and Sandy kiss passionately)
Helga (to crushed Arnold)
- I'm sorry, Arnold.
- You were right the whole time, Helga.

- Oh Arnold, there you are! Ready to build our winning sandcastle?
- Forget it, Summer; I'm on to you! I know you think I'm pathetic and I know you've been lying to me this whole time.
Summer (surprised)
- Arnold, I---
- I just heard you and that Sandy guy. You were just using me.
Summer (shocked)
- But--
- I'm not building any sandcastle with you, ever. Goodbye, Summer.
- Goodbye, Autumn! It's been a blast. Too bad your evil plan fell flat on its face!
- Sorry I didn't listen to you, Helga. I guess you were really just trying to be my friend.
- Well, I figured it was the right thing to do; I mean, she was taking advantage of you and I couldn't just-- Well, hey, what the heck are we standing here talking for? We got a sandcastle competition to win. Come on!
- Miriam

- Come on, Harold, it's not that bad.
- Yes, it is! We're trapped in here day after day, doing boring stuff, and standing in line for cold crappy food that they don't even give me time to eat! Oh, I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! I just wish there was some way to get out of school and get to stay home and be free!

Principal Wartz
- That's a violation of the school constitution, article 54, section C, paragraph 2, your suspended.

Synchronized Swimming
Gerald (About Coach Wittenberg)
- But, Arnold, every time we even talk to him, he wants us to join some crazy team!
- Boys, I want you to join this crazy team.
- And I'm tired of being called a fruitcup and a sissy-boned fat boy!
- Uh, Harold, no one's called you that.

- ...So actually, Helga's results were quite exceptional. I'm deeply sorry for the heartache this must have caused you and your-
- (Rummaging through his fridge) Fine, fine, whatever. Is this gonna cost me anything?
Mr. Simmons
- No of course not.

- (Dumping box of Helga's journals into the fireplace)
- (screams)
The Baseball
Mickey Kaline (to Arnold)
- Y'know, kid, since I was seven years old the only thing I ever wanted to do was play baseball. I loved every minute of it. From the first time I played catch with my dad to the home run I hit this afternoon. And, well... thanks, kid.
Mr. Potts (about Kaline): Kaline's a BUM!
The Beeper Queen
- Mom?
- Helga? What on earth are you doing here?

- 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.

- Six o'clock? It's dinnertime! Why don't you go order some Chinese? Food, that is.
- Arnold
- Grandpa, how can you be hungry? We just ate a whole platter of sandwiches.
- Grandpa
- Don't question me, Arnold. I'm your elder and I know what's best. Now go order some Chinese.
- Arnold
- Okay. fine. I'll order some Chinese.
- (Arnold leaves, and Grandpa tears out the page he was reading and puts it in his pocket)
- Grandpa
- Whoo, sheesh. I thought he'd never leave.
- Oh, oh, this is good! Ho ho, you're gonna like this. Your dad just asked your mom to marry him.
- Wow, and she said yes, right?
- Lessee, actually she said, "No, thank you!" The end! Roll credits!
- Grandpa
- (reading) "It was a beautiful tranquil day in—"

- (laughs)
- Arnold
- The story of the green-eyed people.
- Grandma
- Ah, yes, the green-eyed people. Aren't they the people who installed our air conditioning? Y'know, I don't really trust them. I think they took the change I had in the cookie jar.

- No, I was just making hot chocolate.
The Old Building
- First thing we gotta do is get you a nickname.
- Cool! How about "The Terminator"?
- Nah, too dramatic. Wait, wait, I've got it. The perfect nickname for you: Bill.
- No, you see, I told Grandma I'd help save the same building I told Ernie I'd help destroy!
- Ladies and gentlemen, as Mayor of our fair city, I have an announcement to make.
- (aside to Mr. Green) I thought we recalled her.
The Pig War
- (Arnold and his friends built a wooden pig and are hiding in it while
Grandpa pulls it to the "British" fort)

- Look. It worked on the Trojans because their enemies knew they were tired of all the fighting.
- It worked on the Trojans because the Greeks knew when to keep quiet.
- (after Grandpa wheels up a giant wooden pig as a surrender gift)
- Savor this moment, grandson, when your enemy surrenders. Open the gate!
Gate Opener
- Sir, there is a certain historical event I think we should consider.
Rex Smythe-Higgins

- (the gate is opened and Arnold and his friends run out of the pig as soon as it is inside)
- (After Smythe-Higgins crashes into a tree branch.)
Rex Smythe-Higgins

- Forget the chickens! There are checkers on the pitcher's mound!
- Our hands! (Grabs Brainy's hand) These hands! Look at these hands!
- (Brainy wiggles his fingers)
- They cleaned that lot! It's not fair.
- And grown-ups are always telling us what to do.
- Yeah! "Brush your teeth!"
- "Comb your hair!"
- "You can't play baseball here!" Rules, rules, rules! They've got rules for everything!
- "Be quiet! Sit down!"
- "Don't run in the house!"
- Yeah. Always saying, "Why don't you kids play nice?"
- Whoa, I never knew Mrs. Vitello had such a good right hook.
- Or that Mr. Green had such a glass jaw.
- 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.
- 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 Gerald Field and before you guys kicked us out.
- So if you want Gerald Field so badly, you can have it just as we found it, A DUMP!
- Man, I feel like a real heel...
- Well, hey man, you know I mean, we did steal their lot...
- Well, there's only one thing to do at a time like this... PLAY BALL!

- Look, Arnold, I got a C!
- Y'know, Arnold, you did a good thing helping Torvald pass that test.
- You mean 'cause now he knows that he has the power inside himself to succeed no matter what he tries?
- No, 'cause now I don't have to pay him back that quarter I owe him.
- You're a real romantic, Gerald.

Weird Cousin

- 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.
