COME ON. MOVE... [
Man ] CLEAR, CLEAR!

I'M TELLING YOU, ARNOLD,
YOUR BALL IS FLAT.

IT'S NOT FLAT. IT'S JUST
A LITTLE LOW ON AIR.

LIKE I SAID,
YOUR BALL IS FLAT.

MAN, I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WE
LET THOSE FIFTH GRADERS BEAT US.

WELL, THE IMPORTANT
THING IS WE TRIED OUR BEST.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS
WE GOT OUR BUNS WHOOPED.

COME ON, GERALD.
WE HAD FUN.

AND WE ALMOST BEAT 'EM.
WHY DO YOU DO THAT, ARNOLD?

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO
LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE?

SOMEBODY HAS TO.
[ Helicopter Approaching ]

[ Crowd Muttering ]

MR. GREEN,
WHAT'S GOING ON?

IT'S SCHECK. HE WANTS TO BUY
UP THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD...

- SO HE CAN KNOCK IT DOWN AND PUT UP A FANCY MALL.
- WHO'S SCHECK?

THE PLAN, WHICH WAS APPROVED
BY THE MAYOR JUST MOMENTS AGO,

WOULD ALLOW FUTURE TECH
INDUSTRIES TO REDEVELOP...

A SIX-SQUARE-BLOCK AREA
BETWEEN 33rd AND 39th STREETS.

OH, I UNDERSTAND THE PRESIDENT
AND C.E.O. OF FUTURE TECH INDUSTRIES,

MR. SCHECK, IS ABOUT TO
MAKE A STATEMENT. [ Applause ]

THANK YOU.
I JUST WANT TO SAY...

I'M DELIGHTED AT THE MAYOR'S
SUPPORT OF OUR RENEWAL PLAN.

NICE SUIT.
SHH!

- I AM BEHIND MR. SCHECK'S PROJECT 100%.
- [ Shutters Clicking ]

ALTHOUGH SOME OF YOU
IN THE AFFECTED AREA...

MAY HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THIS PLAN
WILL IMPACT YOUR HOMES AND BUSINESSES,

LET ME ASSURE YOU,
CHANGE IS GOOD.

THIS PLAN REPRESENTS
THE END OF URBAN DECAY,

THE END OF YOUR BROKEN-DOWN
SHOPS AND APARTMENT BUILDINGS,

THE END OF ANTIQUATED
AND DILAPIDATED STOREFRONTS.

IT'S TIME FOR A NEW WORLD. OUT
WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH OLD THINGS?
SOME OLD THINGS ARE GREAT.

YEAH, LIKE MRS. VITELLO.

WHIPPERSNAPPER.
OW!

THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS.
THE CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDED AGAINST IT,

BUT THE MAYOR'S LETTIN'
HIM DO IT ANYWAY.

- I NEVER FIGURED HE COULD PULL IT OFF.
- WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

IT MEANS THEY WANT US
TO SELL OUT AND MOVE AWAY...

SO THIS SCHECK CHARACTER AND
HIS BIG CORPORATION CAN MOVE IN.

[ All Shouting ] NO! NO WAY!

- [ Shouting Continues ] - IT'S TIME
TO PUT THE PAST BEHIND US.

I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE,
AND IT'S FUTURE TECH INDUSTRIES.

[ Cat Screeches ]

I LOVE HIS UNERRING

BUT, MOST OF ALL, I LOVE
THE WAY HIS HAIR SMELLS...

WHEN I GET REAL CLOSE BEHIND

I SCOWL AT HIM AND MAKE AN

THEN I INSULT HIM JUST TO COVER

OH, ARNOLD!

[ Bow Snaps ] MR. GREEN

IS TORN DOWN AND YOU HAVE TO MOVE AWAY,

- WE GOTTA SPLIT, BOB. WE'LL TALK.

RIGHT. WE'LL TALK. AND SEND ME THE

- CAN I KEEP THIS POP-UP THING?
- YOU GOT IT.

GREAT. YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
IT'S OUR FUTURE.

RIGHT AFTER WE RIP DOWN THE FLOWER SHOP
AND GREEN MEATS AND THE REST OF THE BLOCK.

ABOUT ALL THAT, DAD, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GONNA
HAVE TO MOVE AWAY AND SELL THEIR BUSINESSES.

- YEAH? WHAT'S YOUR POINT?
- WELL, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THIS WHOLE...

TEAR-DOWN-THE-NEIGHBORHOOD,
FUTURE TECH THING IS REALLY NECESSARY.

OF COURSE IT'S NECESSARY. IT'S
MORE THAN NECESSARY. IT'S PROGRESS.

YOU CAN'T HAVE PROGRESS WITHOUT
A LITTLE PAIN. NO PAIN, NO GAIN.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH LEAVING
THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE?

I'll TELL YOU WHAT'S
WRONG WITH IT, MISSY.

LEAVE THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE AND BIG
BOB'S SUPER BEEPER EMPORIUM DOESN'T HAPPEN.

- BUT, DAD...
- HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY.

I'M GONNA SAY THIS ONCE, AND I
WANT YOU TO HEAR IT, LITTLE LADY.

CHANGE IS GOOD. WHEN THE NEW BIG
BOB'S SUPER BEEPER EMPORIUM GOES UP,

THE CASH IS GONNA ROLL IN, AND YOU'LL
FORGET ALL ABOUT THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND DO YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE WE'LL BE RICH.

AND THAT MEANS YOU'LL BE RICH. YOU
CAN HAVE THAT PONY YOU'VE BEEN WANTIN'.

DAD, I WANTED A PONY
WHEN I WAS FIVE.

- WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW?
- I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, MAKE UP YOUR MIND, 'CAUSE
ONCE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD GOES DOWN...

AND MY STORE GOES UP, YOU CAN HAVE

- WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?
- HEY, ARNOLD.

WE WERE JUST LOOKING AT
A PIECE OF HISTORY.

IT WAS FOUR YEARS AGO STINKY AND ME
MADE THESE HANDPRINTS IN THE CEMENT.

- YEAH.
- SID AND STINK.

- SID AND STINK?
- IT ONLY SAYS STINK...

ON ACCOUNT OF JUST WHEN I WAS FIXING
TO WRITE THE "Y" TO FINISH OFF MY NAME,

SID'S OLD MAN CAME MOSEYING AROUND
THE CORNER, AND WE HAD TO HIGHTAIL IT.

- I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT MADE IT EVEN COOLER.
- YEAH.

WE ALWAYS FIGURED
IT'D BE THERE FOREVER,

BUT AFTER THEY TEAR DOWN THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
I RECKON NOBODY'LL EVEN REMEMBER.

YEAH.

- HI, MR. GREEN.
- LOOK, ARNOLD, THAT WAS ME, FOUR YEARS OLD.

MY GRANDFATHER MADE THE MARK.
HE WAS SO PROUD OF ME.

HE USED TO TELL ME, "MARTY, ONE DAY,
GREEN MEATS IS GONNA BE YOUR SHOP."

AND, SURE ENOUGH,
MY FATHER TOOK IT OVER,

AND THEN, WHEN HE RETIRED,
HE PASSED IT ON TO ME.

THAT WAS THE PROUDEST DAY
OF MY LIFE.

I ALWAYS KNEW ONE DAY I'D
PASS THE SHOP ON TO MY OWN SON.

I GUESS NOW THAT'S NEVER
GONNA HAPPEN. [ Blows, Sniffles ]

- BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA TEAR DOWN THE NEIGHBORHOOD?
- NO. BECAUSE MY SON HATES MEAT.

OH, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME NOW,
ARNOLD. EVERYONE ELSE HAS SOLD.

EXCEPT FOR US. I HAVE TO SELL.

[ Sighs ] I CAN'T BELIEVE
THIS IS HAPPENING.

ME NEITHER, SHORT MAN.
HECK, I WAS BORN IN THIS HOUSE.

MY DAD GOT IT IN THE 1890s,
OVER A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

WON IT IN A CARD GAME FROM A MAN HIS
DAD HAD FOUGHT IN THE TOMATO INCIDENT.

- THE TOMATO INCIDENT?
- OH, YES, THE TOMATO INCIDENT.

NOW, THAT WAS A GOOD STORY.

[ Grandpa ] THE YANKS WON TERRITORIAL
RIGHTS TO THIS LAND AFTER THE PIG WAR.

BUT, UNTIL THEN, WE STILL PAID
TAXES TO THE BRITISH CROWN...

ON ALL SORTS OF GOODS, INCLUDING
TOBACCO, MEATS, AND VEGETABLES.

THE WHOLE TOWN WAS IN A SNIT
OVER A NEW TOMATO TAX.

THE BRITS WERE ADDING A NICKEL
ON EVERY TOMATO.

PEOPLE WERE UP IN ARMS,
SPOILING FOR A FIGHT.

WHAT HAPPENED?
THE TOMATO INCIDENT, ARNOLD.

MY GRANDPA AND HIS NEIGHBORS
TURNED OVER A CART FULL OF...

BRITISH TOMATOES
ON THIS VERY STREET.

SOLDIERS WERE SENT
TO ARREST HIM,

BY ORDER OF
THE COLONIAL GOVERNOR,

ARCHIBALD VON SCHECK.

- VON SCHECK?
- HMM, I WONDER IF HE'S ANY RELATION.

ANYWAY, VON SCHECK'S MEN
ATTACKED THE NEIGHBORHOOD,

BUT THE LOCALS USED
GUERRILLA WARFARE.

THEY MADE A BARRICADE
OF UPTURNED VEGETABLE CARTS...

AND FOUGHT BACK
WITH WHATEVER THEY HAD.

AND THEY HAD A LOT OF TOMATOES.

THEY WERE BRITISH TOMATOES,
WHICH WERE SMALL AND HARD,

AND REALLY HURT
IF YOU GOT HIT WITH ONE.

LET 'ER RIP.

THAT DID IT. THE REDCOATS WERE
IN FULL, IGNOMINIOUS RETREAT.

- [ Cheering ] - AND THAT'S WHY WE
EAT AMERICAN TOMATOES, ARNOLD.

ALTHOUGH, I HAD ONE THE OTHER
DAY THAT CAME FROM CHILE. VERY JUICY.

- GRANDPA, DID THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN?
- OF COURSE IT HAPPENED.

I SLICED IT UP AND
PUT IT IN A SANDWICH.

NO, DON'T YOU SEE?
THIS IS OUR ANSWER.

YES! YES, ARNOLD! JUICY TOMATOES
FROM CHILE. WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?

NO, THE TOMATO INCIDENT. IF THAT BATTLE TOOK
PLACE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BOARDING HOUSE,

THIS WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD
SHOULD BE A NATIONAL LANDMARK.

WELL, THERE PROBABLY WAS A DOCUMENT THAT
DECLARED THIS BLOCK A HISTORIC SITE ONCE.

THEN MAYBE I CAN FIND IT.
WE'VE STILL GOT TWO DAYS.

I CAN SHOW THE DOCUMENT TO THE
MAYOR, AND SHE'D STOP THE BULLDOZERS.

THEY COULDN'T TEAR DOWN
THESE BUILDINGS... EVER!

AND MR. GREEN AND MRS. VITELLO
COULD KEEP THEIR SHOPS.

AND SID AND STINKY'S HANDPRINTS
WOULD ALWAYS STAY IN THE SIDEWALK.

AND YOU AND GRANDMA AND ME AND ALL THE
BOARDERS COULD KEEP LIVING JUST LIKE BEFORE.

NOTHING WOULD CHANGE.

GRANDPA, DON'T SELL
THE BOARDING HOUSE.

I'M GONNA TRACK DOWN THAT
DOCUMENT AND SAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

YOU'RE A BOLD KID, ARNOLD.
I'M WITH YOU ALL THE WAY.

BUT YOU BETTER HURRY BEFORE THE BULLDOZERS
KNOCK DOWN THE WHOLE KIT AND CABOODLE.

CHANGE IS GOOD.
I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE,

AND THE FUTURE IS F.T.I.

SO, MY SUPER BEEPER EMPORIUM'S GOING HERE, WHERE

- THAT'S RIGHT, BOB.
- AND THAT'S IN THE CONTRACT?

TO FIND.

THERE'S NO RECORD OF A NAME,
BUT THERE IS AN ADDRESS.

SIX, SIX, SIX,

ONE, THREE,
RIVERSIDE HIGHWAY.

IT'S OUT ON THE PENINSULA.

YOU'RE GOING OUT TO
THE PENINSULA, RIGHT?

DON'T TALK TO THE DRIVER
WHILE THE BUS IS IN MOTION.

BUT THE BUS ISN'T
IN MOTION. NOW IT IS.

GET BEHIND
THE YELLOW LINE.

66590, 66600.
WE'RE CLOSE, GERALD.

FUTURE TECH INDUSTRIES.

FUTURE TECH INDUSTRIES?
THEY'VE GOT THE DOCUMENT?

OOH, OOH, OOH. THE DOCUMENT
THAT COULD SAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD...

IS IN THE HANDS
OF FUTURE TECH?

NOW WHAT, ARNOLD? I GUESS
WE GO AND TALK TO MR. SCHECK.

YOU CAN'T TALK TO MR. SCHECK.

BUT... HE CAN'T BE SEEN
WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT.

- THEN WE'LL MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.
- MR. SCHECK DOESN'T MAKE APPOINTMENTS.

ALL RIGHTY, THEN,
YOU HAVE A NICE DAY.

RIGHT.
GOOD-BYE.

[ Whistling ]

GERALD, THERE'S CAMERAS EVERYWHERE.
AND I THINK THEY'RE WATCHING US.

MAN, THIS IS CREEPY.
LET'S GET AWAY FROM HERE.

SECURITY.
YES, MR. SCHECK?

THERE ARE TWO YOUNG BOYS IN THE
HALLWAY, 40 FEET FROM YOUR SECURITY DESK.

WHAT? SIR, I, UH, UH...
APPREHEND THEM.

AND BRING THEM
TO MY OFFICE.

♪ LIFE IS JUST A BOWL
OF CHERRIES ♪

SIR, WE FOUND THESE BOYS
WANDERING THE HALLS UNESCORTED.

UNESCORTED? WITHOUT SECURITY
CLEARANCE? YES, SIR. THAT'S RIGHT SIR.

THIS IS SERIOUS, ISN'T IT?
YES, SIR.

WE CAN'T HAVE
YOUNG BOYS WANDERING...

THE HALLS OF FUTURE TECH
INDUSTRIES UNESCORTED...

WITHOUT SECURITY
CLEARANCE, NOW, CAN WE?

NO, SIR.
NO, SIR. NO, SIR.

AND THESE SMALL BOYS JUST SNUCK PAST SECURITY
AND WANDERED ABOUT THE BUILDING UNESCORTED.

IS THAT ABOUT THE SIZE OF IT?
YES, SIR.

- "YES, SIR." WELL, NOW, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT?
- SIR?

- YOU'RE THE HEAD OF SECURITY, AREN'T YOU?
- SIR, YES, SIR.

"SIR, SIR. YES, SIR. SIR."

IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY?
NO, SIR. I MEAN, YES, SIR.

SIR!
THERE HE GOES AGAIN.

I'll TELL YOU WHAT,
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO NOW.

GO BACK TO YOUR DUTIES
AS HEAD OF SECURITY.

WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OTHER BOYS
ARE OUT THERE, WANDERING THE HALLS...

OF FUTURE TECH INDUSTRIES UNESCORTED WHILE
YOU STAND HERE LIKE A BIG, DUMB STIFF!

REPEATING, "SIR, YES, SIR, SIR."
YES, SIR.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH A CHARACTER
LIKE THAT? HE'S LIKE A WINDUP DOLL.

"YES, SIR. SIR, YES, SIR.
SIR, SIR."

I'll TELL YOU, IT'S HARD TO GET
GOOD HELP NOWADAYS. [ Chuckles ]

IT MUST BE UPSETTING TO BE APPREHENDED
AND DRAGGED, UNCEREMONIOUSLY,

INTO MY OFFICE LIKE THIS, BUT I CAN'T
HAVE YOUNG BOYS WANDERING THE HALLS...

OF MY COMPANY UNESCORTED,
YOU UNDERSTAND, HM?

MY NAME IS SCHECK.
AND WHO MIGHT YOU BE?

I'M ARNOLD, AND THIS
IS MY FRIEND, GERALD.

- WE LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD YOU WANT TO TEAR DOWN.
- THAT I'M GOING TO TEAR DOWN.

WE HEARD THERE WAS A GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT
THAT SAYS THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD IS...

A NATIONAL LANDMARK AND CAN
NEVER BE TORN DOWN BY ANYBODY.

REALLY? I'VE HEARD ABOUT
THAT DOCUMENT TOO.

IN FACT, I HAD MY PEOPLE
LOOK INTO IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY FOUND?
THE DOCUMENT DOESN'T EXIST.

THE WHOLE THING'S
JUST A RUMOR, BOGUS.

I PROMISE YOU, IF THERE
WERE SUCH A DOCUMENT,

I WOULD NEVER GO
THROUGH WITH MY PLAN.

BUT THE DOCUMENT
MUST EXIST.

IT WAS PART OF A COLLECTION
OF LOCAL HISTORICAL PAPERS.

LOOK, MY YOUNG FRIEND, AS MUCH
AS I ADMIRE YOUR THOROUGHNESS...

AND DIRECT APPROACH,
THE FACT REMAINS:

I DON'T HAVE THE DOCUMENT.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE DOCUMENT.

SO THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS
COMING DOWN. ANY QUESTIONS?

WHAT IF WE WERE TO TELL YOU
THAT WE DON'T BUY YOUR STORY?

HM. SECURITY.

THAT WENT WELL. THAT
SCHECK IS NOT A GOOD MAN.

BUT HE'S A NATTY-DADDY
DRESSER.

[ Man Roaring ]

[ Continues Roaring ]
[ Phone Rings ]

YEAH, WHAT'S WRONG?

NICK, I JUST HAD AN INTERESTING
CONVERSATION WITH TWO YOUNG BOYS.

ONE HAD A WEIRD
STACK OF HAIR,

AND THE OTHER WAS
A FOOTBALL-HEADED KID.

A FOOTBALL-HEADED KID, HUH. HEY, BOB, YOU
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A FOOTBALL-HEADED KID?

- HM? NAH.
- I DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NO FOOTBALL-HEADED KID, BOSS.

ARE YOU SURE?

BECAUSE THERE WAS ONE NOSING AROUND HERE JUST
A FEW MINUTES AGO, ASKING ABOUT THAT DOCUMENT.

YOU KNOW THE ONE
I'M TALKING ABOUT.

YOU MEAN THE DOCUMENT THAT
COULD MESS UP OUR WHOLE OPERATION?

BUT IT'S LOCKED IN THE RECORDS ROOM.
NOBODY HAS A KEY FOR IT, EXCEPT YOU AND ME.

I PROMISE YOU, MR. SCHECK, I
HAVEN'T SEEN A KID LIKE THAT. [ Typing ]

BUT I WILL DEFINITELY
KEEP MY EYES OPEN. [ Dings ]

[ Dog Barking In Distance ] [ Arnold
I I'M NOT READY TO GIVE UP YET.

ARNOLD, SOONER OR LATER, YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO FACE THE FACTS.

THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT
SCHECK'S PLAN. THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING.

ARNOLD, IT WOULD TAKE
SOME KIND OF MIRACLE.

[ Ringing ]

HELLO? [ Man's Voice ] THE DOCUMENT
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR EXISTS.

THEY'RE HIDING IT FROM YOU.
WHAT? WHO IS THIS?

- CALL ME DEEP VOICE.
- WHO ARE YOU?

I CAN'T GIVE YOU THAT INFORMATION, BUT I
CAN TELL YOU THAT SCHECK IS UP TO NO GOOD.

THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP HIM
IS THE DOCUMENT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE
DOCUMENT? LET'S JUST SAY... I KNOW.

WHERE IS THE DOCUMENT? IT'S HIDDEN
AT F.T.I. IN A LOCKED SAFE DEPOSIT BOX.

- NICK VERMICELLI HAS THE KEY.
- NICK VERMICELLI? BUT HOW DO WE...

FOLLOW NICK, AND YOU'LL FIND
THE KEY. I'll BE IN TOUCH.

BUT WAIT!
WHO ARE YOU?

THAT IS TOO FREAKY. I'M
SORRY I EVER DOUBTED YOU.

I'M IN, MAN.
WHAT'S THE PLAN?

THE PLAN IS WE FIND
NICK VERMICELLI.

RIGHT.
THEN WE SPY ON HIM,

FOLLOWING HIM EVERYWHERE UNTIL WE FIND OUT WHERE
HE'S HIDING THE KEY TO THE SAFE DEPOSIT BOX.

RIGHT. THEN, WE STEAL THE
KEY, GO TO F.T.I., SNEAK IN AND...

GET THE DOCUMENT OUT OF
THE SAFE DEPOSIT BOX.

- RIGHT.
- WE EVADE THE SECURITY GUARDS, AND IF WE MAKE IT THAT FAR,

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS HEAD
UPTOWN, FIND THE MAYOR,

AND DELIVER THE DOCUMENT SO SHE
CAN DECLARE THE NEIGHBORHOOD...

A NATIONAL LANDMARK AND STOP
THE BULLDOZERS.

ARNOLD, THAT'S A LONG PLAN.

I KNOW. BUT WE GOTTA DO IT IF WE'RE
GONNA SAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND WE'RE GONNA NEED
SOME SPECIAL EQUIPMENT.

THIS MAY SOUND KIND OF CRAZY,
BUT I'VE HEARD OF THIS GIRL, BRIDGET,

WHO LIVES ACROSS TOWN,
KIND OF A, UH,

EQUIPMENT SPECIALIST.

ARE YOU SURE THIS IS
THE RIGHT PLACE?

IT'S THE ADDRESS FUZZY SLIPPERY GAVE
ME. HOW DO YOU KNOW SHE'LL HELP US?

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
BRIDGET DOES, ARNOLD.

SHE HELPS PEOPLE. I MEAN,
THAT'S HOW THE LEGEND GOES.

- MAYBE SHE'S NOT HOME.
- WHAT'S THIS BUTTON?

- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SHOULD TOUCH THAT.
- COME ON, WHAT COULD HAPPEN?

- [ Buzzer Blaring ]
- WHOA!

[ Sighing, Whimpering ]

OKAY, WHICH ONE OF YOU
TOUCHED MY BUTTON?

ME.
ME.

IF YOU'RE GONNA TRY AND SAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD,
YOU'RE GONNA NEED SOME EQUIPMENT.

[ Beeps ]

HOW MUCH DOES ALL THIS COST?

WELL, SINCE IT'S FOR SUCH A GOOD

- GREAT. WE'LL TAKE TWO OF 'EM.

- DO THE BELTS COME IN ANY OTHER COLORS?
- BLACK OR PINK.

- WE'LL TAKE BLACK.
- WHAT ABOUT THIS?

- WHAT ARE WE GONNA NEED A REMOTE CONTROL CAR FOR?
- YOU NEVER KNOW.

WHATEVER YOU SAY,
ARNOLD.

ALL RIGHT, THE NEIGHBORHOOD
IS COUNTING ON YOU.

GOOD LUCK, BOYS.

GERALD?

HELGA?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I WAS WALKING UNTIL YOU
KNOCKED ME DOWN, FOOTBALL HEAD.

- SORRY, HELGA, WE WERE JUST...
- YEAH, YEAH. JUST OUT PLAYING YOUR DUMB SECRET AGENT GAME.

AREN'T YOU BOTH A LITTLE OLD
FOR THAT? YEESH.

COME ON, ARNOLD.
WE GOT THINGS TO DO.

HA! WHAT, SOME NEW PLAN
TO SAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD?

THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S
RIGHT. LET'S ROLL.

TRY TAKING OFF THOSE LAME SHADES SO
YOU CAN SEE WHERE YOU'RE WALKING NEXT TIME.

GOOD LUCK, HARDY BOYS.
YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT. [ Laughs ]

OH, MY BRAVE, LITTLE

- WE NEED TO GET OUT REALLY BAD.
- WE GOTTA FOLLOW THAT GUY. HE'S GOT A KEY.

A KEY. THEY'RE
TALKING ABOUT A KEY.

MAYBE IT'S THE KEY

- [ Nick ] DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE KEY.
- [ Feedback ]

- WHAT KEY?
- WHAT THE HECK'S GOING ON?

- WHAT HAPPENED?
- [ Gerald ] DID I DO THAT?

- HEY! WHO'S DOING THAT?

THIS THING ON? SORRY ABOUT
THAT, FOLKS. HIT IT, TONY!

HEY! GET A BUSBOY OVER HERE.

CLEAN UP THIS MESS AND
GET US A COUPLE MORE DRINKS.

YO! BUSBOYS!
WHAT ARE YOU, DEAF?

I SAID CLEAN UP THIS MESS
OR I'll MAKE YOU WEAR IT!

LOOK. THE KEY.
IT'S AROUND HIS NECK.

AND GET US TWO MORE BARTLETTS,
PRONTO. NO ICE THIS TIME.

AND NO LIPSTICK.

WE'LL GET THOSE FOR YOU
RIGHT AWAY, SIR. RIGHT... AWAY.

FOOTBALL-HEADED KID!

[ Grandpa ] ALL RIGHT, YOU
CLOWNS, HERE'S THE DEAL.

THE BOYS ARE OFF RISKING
THEIR LIFE WITH SOME CRAZY PLAN...

TO GET A RARE HISTORIC DOCUMENT FROM
THE HANDS OF THAT SCHECK CHARACTER,

AND THEY DON'T
STAND A CHANCE.

WE'VE GOT TO THINK OF A BACKUP
SCHEME THAT'LL BAIL US OUT...

WHEN THEIR CRAZY
LAMEBRAINED PLAN FIZZLES!

SO COME ON.
THINK OF A PLAN.

IT'S GOT TO BE SMART,
LOGICAL AND FEASIBLE.

MAYBE WE COULD PAINT THE
HOUSE WITH VANISHING CREAM.

THEN IT WILL BE INVISIBLE. THAT IS
THE STUPIDEST IDEA I EVER HEARD!

WHAT IF IT RAINS? DING DONG! YOU
EVER THINK ABOUT THAT, KOKOSCHKA?

- IT'LL WASH THE VANISHING CREAM OFF AND EVERYONE WILL SEE US.
- AH, POOH. YOU'RE RIGHT.

WHAT WE GOTTA DO IS BUILD A DUMMY
NEIGHBORHOOD ONE BLOCK OVER.

THAT'LL PULL THE WOOL
OVER THEIR EYES.

YOU ARE THE DUMMY, ERNIE!
THAT WILL NEVER WORK!

OH, YEAH? I DON'T SEE YOU COMING
UP WITH ANYTHING, MR. GENIUS!

WHY DON'T YOU DIG A LITTLE DEEPER INTO
THE CAVERNS OF YOUR PUNY MIND, EGGHEAD!

DIGGING? CAVERN?
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.

THAT REMINDS ME.
THE SECRET TUNNELS!

WHAT SECRET TUNNELS?

MARONE! [ Snickers ]
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE, EH?

A NETWORK OF TUNNELS THAT
HONEYCOMB THE ENTIRE BLOCK...

AND POSSIBLY LEAD TO
THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

I HATE IT!
IT'S DARK AND IT SMELL.

IT'S VERY CREEPY! YEAH,
LET'S GO BACK, GRANDPA.

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
LISTEN.

ONE OF THESE TUNNELS GOES UNDER THE STREET
FROM OUR HOUSE TO THE ONE ACROSS FROM US.

IF WE WIRE IT
WITH EXPLOSIVES,

WE'LL BLOW A HOLE IN THE STREET
THAT THE BULLDOZERS CAN'T CROSS.

YEAH? JUST ONE LITTLE
DETAIL, GRAMPS.

WHERE YOU GONNA GET
THE EXPLOSIVES?

FROM YOU, OF COURSE.

JUST GO DOWN
TO YOUR JOB SITE...

AND LIFT A COUPLE HUNDRED POUNDS
OF EXPLOSIVES WHEN NO ONE'S LOOKING.

- HUH? HUH?
- THAT'S THE CRAZIEST THING I EVER HEARD!

ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING I GOT TWICE
THAT MUCH STASHED UNDER MY BED.

WHAT? HEY, WE ALL GOT
OUR LITTLE PECCADILLOS.

[ Door Shuts ]

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

[ Siren Wailing ]

FINALLY. LET'S JUST
HOPE HE'S READY FOR BED.

HE SHOULD BE.
IT'S MIDNIGHT.

AS SOON AS HE'S ASLEEP,
WE CAN GET THE KEY OFF OF HIM.

AS SOON AS HE
FALLS ASLEEP, HUH?

WHAT IF HE KEEPS
WATCHING TV FOR HOURS?

MAYBE THERE'S
NOTHING GOOD ON.

- [ Phone Ringing ]
- SOMEONE'S CALLING HIM.

- QUICK!
- OH, NO.

LAST TIME WE NEARLY
GOT KILLED USING THAT THING.

COME ON, GERALD. WE GOTTA
FIND OUT WHO'S CALLING HIM.

- IT MIGHT BE A CLUE.
- AH, ALL RIGHT.

IT'S BIG BOB!

YES, YOU'RE A FULL PARTNER. DIDN'T
I GET THROUGH TELLING YOU THAT?

WHAT ARE YOU CALLING ME FOR?

GONNA HANG FROM THAT, ARE YOU?

- NOT UNLESS YOU WANT TO.
- I DON'T THINK IT'S MY SIZE.

AH, IT'S AN ANGEL.

YEAH. WHY DO YOU HAVE
TO BE SO MYSTERIOUS?

YOU TWO SEEM CONFUSED ABOUT
WHO'S CALLING THE SHOTS HERE.

AND YOU'LL NEVER SAVE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

INTO SCHECK'S OFFICE.

IN A ROOM BEHIND HIS DESK.

- WE HAVE TO GET BACK INTO HIS OFFICE?
- RIGHT, ONLY DON'T GET CAUGHT.

- DON'T TALK TO THE DRIVER...

WHILE THE VEHICLE'S

IS FALLING APART.

I KNOW WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO
TALK TO YOU WHILE THE BUS IS IN MOTION,

BUT DO YOU THINK YOU COULD
DRIVE A LITTLE FASTER?

I DRIVE 25 MILES AN HOUR.

- NO EXCEPTIONS, NO DISCUSSION.
- I WONDER WHAT BEE GOT HIS BOXERS?

HEY, YOU'D HAVE A BEE UP YOUR BOXERS,
TOO, IF YOU WERE IN MY MOCCASINS.

MY GIRLFRIEND LEFT ME
TWO WEEKS AGO.

- HER NAME IS MONA.
- MONA?

SHE SAID SHE WANTED
A WHOLE MAN.

A WHOLE MAN?
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

I LOST THE REAL ONE
IN THE WAR.

SURE, SHE THOUGHT
IT WAS COOL AT FIRST.

AND THEN IN WALKS JOHNNY-COME-LATELY,
AND I'M OUT THE DOGGIE DOOR.

YOU MEET A GIRL,
YOU THINK IT'S FOREVER,

AND THEN THE WHOLE THING
GOES KABLOOEY.

SHE BROKE MY HEART. AND
EVEN THOUGH I STILL LOVE HER,

I MADE UP MY MIND
THAT FROM NOW ON...

I AIN'T GONNA CARE
ABOUT NOTHING...

OR STICK MY NECK OUT
FOR NOBODY.

I'M ONLY LOOKING OUT
FOR NUMBER ONE. HEY!

WELL, THAT WAS
AN INSPIRING STORY.

ARNOLD, ARE YOU SURE THERE ISN'T
ANOTHER BUS WE CAN TAKE TO F.T.I.?

[ Grunts ]

DETECT ANY MOTION.

BE PLAYING WITH A TOY CAR.

I'M NOT PLAYING, GERALD.

- HMM.

WHAT WAS THAT?
COME ON, LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

WE CAN GET TO SCHECK'S
OFFICE THIS WAY. COME ON.

THE ROOM BEHIND HIS DESK.

- WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
- [ Groans ]

[ Both Sigh ]

WELL, WE BETTER
GET STARTED.

OH, YEAH. THAT'S
THE LAST OF IT, GRAMPS.

[ Grunts ]
NOW ALL WE HAVE TO DO...

IS RUN THIS WIRE
UP TO THE STREET...

AND WAIT FOR
THE BULLDOZERS TO COME.

THEN WE BLOW A HUGE HOLE,
AND THEY FALL RIGHT IN.

SOUNDS GREAT, GRANDPA.
NOW LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

YES! IT IS STILL
VERY CREEPY!

[ Banging On Door ]

WAKE UP, YOU WEASEL!
I JUST READ THE FINE PRINT!

SO, IT'S GONNA BE SCHECK'S
BEEPER EMPORIUM, IS IT?

YOU'RE TRYING
TO DOUBLE-CROSS ME!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT, BOB. I READ THE CONTRACT, PALLY!

I GET A NEW BEEPER EMPORIUM,

BUT SCHECK GETS
51% OF MY COMPANY!

OKAY, OKAY, SO IT'S TRUE,
BUT YOU SIGNED A CONTRACT.

- THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO. THE INK'S DRY.
- YOU WERE IN ON IT!

YOU KNEW HE WAS GONNA
SHAFT ME!

YEAH, SO WHAT IF I DID?
IT'S A FREE COUNTRY.

REALLY? WELL, THEN
IF IT'S A FREE COUNTRY,

I GUESS I'M FREE TO BEAT
THE LIVING SNOT OUT OF YOU!

- NOW, BOB, DON'T GET CRAZY.
- TOO LATE!

[ Growling ]

[ Screams ]

[ Yelling ]

HUH? THE KEY.
WHAT HAPPENED? OH, NO.

THAT DREAM I HAD...
THAT ANGEL.

THAT WASN'T NO ANGEL. IT
WAS THAT FOOTBALL-HEADED KID!

IT WAS REALLY HAPPENING! HE
MUST'VE STOLE THE STINKIN' KEY!

YEAH, MR. SCHECK,
IT'S ME, NICK.

LISTEN, I GOT SOME BAD NEWS.
I THINK I LOST THE KEY.

YEAH, THE KEY.

I THINK THAT
FOOTBALL-HEADED KID TOOK IT.

I DON'T KNOW. I WAS ASLEEP. I
THINK HE SNUCK IN AND STOLE IT.

YEAH, I KNOW.
I'M STUPID! STUPID!

[ Gerald ]
997.

- UH-UH.
- 998.

- NOPE.
- [ Sighs ]

999.

EMPTY?
WHERE'S THE DOCUMENT?

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING?
WELL, HERE YOU ARE BACK AGAIN...

AFTER I PATIENTLY EXPLAINED THAT
YOUR MISSION IS COMPLETELY HOPELESS.

IT STILL IS, THOUGH I'M LESS
INCLINED TO ENTERTAIN YOU...

AFTER YOU BROKE INTO MY
BUILDING FOR THE SECOND TIME.

DID YOU THINK YOU COULD
GET AWAY WITH THIS?

THERE ARE CAMERAS EVERYWHERE. I RECORD
EVERYTHING THAT GOES ON DAY AND NIGHT.

DID YOU THINK I'D LET YOU WIN, LET
YOU SAVE YOUR LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD?

DON'T YOU REALIZE WHO I AM? I AM
ALPHONSE PERRIER DE VON SCHECK!

I CAN TRACE MY ANCESTRY
BACK TO THE FOUNDING FATHERS!

DO YOU KNOW WHEN WE
LOST CONTROL OF THIS CITY?

WHEN THAT RIDICULOUS
TOMATO INCIDENT TOOK PLACE...

IN YOUR PATHETIC
LITTLE NEIGHBORHOOD.

TEARING IT DOWN AND PUTTING
MY NAME UP IN ITS PLACE...

WILL BE REVENGE
OF THE SWEETEST KIND.

BUT THE DOCUMENT.
WHERE'S THE DOCUMENT?

UNFORTUNATELY,
LIKE YOUR LITTLE PLAN,

IT'S ABOUT TO GO
UP IN SMOKE.

MY GUARDS WILL NOW
LOCK YOU AWAY...

WHERE YOU WON'T CAUSE
ANY MORE TROUBLE.

ARNOLD!

OW!

- NO, NO, NO! OHH!
- RUN!

OH, GET THEM FOR
HEAVEN'S SAKE. [ Groaning ]

HE WENT THATAWAY!
COME ON!

- [ Gasps ]
- THERE THEY ARE! GET 'EM!

ARNOLD, I'll LOSE THE GUYS ON THE
STAIRWAY. YOU HEAD FOR THE GARAGE.

SEE IF YOU CAN FIND A WAY OUT.
CALL ME ON THE WALKIE. GO!

[ Panting ]

[ Phone Ringing ]
[ Yells ]

HELLO. [ Deep Voice ]
ARNOLD, WHAT HAPPENED?

- MAN, WHERE ARE YOU?
- NEVER MIND THAT. WHERE'S THE DOCUMENT?

HE BURNED IT. SCHECK
BURNED IT. BURNED IT?

YEAH, RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. HE LAUGHED
AT US. HE SAID WE NEVER HAD A CHANCE.

- HE'S GONNA WIN, DEEP VOICE.
- DON'T GIVE UP, ARNOLD.

- WHY NOT? IT'S OVER.
- IT'S NOT OVER.

- THERE MUST BE SOMETHING. AREN'T THERE ANY OTHER COPIES?
- NO. HE WOULDN'T MAKE A COPY.

WAIT A MINUTE. THERE WERE
VIDEO CAMERAS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

- VIDEO CAMERAS?
- YEAH.

THE VIDEO CAMERAS RECORD EVERYTHING
THAT GOES ON IN SCHECK'S BUILDING.

ALL THE TIME.
SCHECK SAID SO HIMSELF.

THEN THE DOCUMENT MUST BE ON
VIDEOTAPE THE MOMENT THAT HE BURNED IT.

ARNOLD, IF YOU CAN GET TO THE ROOM
WHERE THE VIDEO RECORDERS ARE,

YOU CAN FIND THE TAPE AND CATCH HIM
IN THE ACT OF BURNING THE DOCUMENT.

YEAH, AND THEN WE CAN
SHOW THE TAPE TO THE POLICE,

AND IT'LL BE AS GOOD
AS THE DOCUMENT ITSELF.

WE CAN WIN, DEEP VOICE.
WE CAN SAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

GREATNESS. YOU GOTTA GET OUTTA THERE!

I'M GONNA HAVE TO WAIT
TILL THE GUARDS ARE GONE.

I'M ON THE STREET OUTSIDE. I'll GET US A
CAB AND MEET YOU IN FRONT IN TWO MINUTES.

WE'VE GOT 24 MINUTES TO GET ACROSS
TOWN BEFORE THE BULLDOZERS ROLL.

WE CAN MAKE IT.
SEE YOU IN TWO, GERALD.

[ Ringing ]

[ Deep Voice ] DON'T GO OUT IN THE
HALL YET. IT'S SWARMING WITH GUARDS.

WAIT. HOW DO YOU KNOW
I'M HERE? WHERE ARE YOU?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME. YOU'VE GOT THE
EVIDENCE YOU NEED TO SAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

NOW WE'VE GOT TO GET YOU SAFELY OUT OF THE
BUILDING. IF YOU'RE CAUGHT, ALL IS LOST.

DEEP VOICE, TELL ME HOW I CAN GET
OUTTA HERE. OKAY, ARNOLD, LISTEN.

YOU'VE GOT TO WAIT UNTIL THE GUARDS HAVE
GONE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

I HAVE A PLAN TO DISTRACT THEM,
BUT IT'LL ONLY BUY YOU A FEW MINUTES.

THEY'RE COVERING THE
ELEVATORS AND THE STAIRS, SO...

DON'T COME ANOTHER STEP CLOSER! PAY NO
ATTENTION TO THAT MAN WITH THE VOICE BOX.

NO MORE GAMES, DEEP VOICE. I'M NOT
DOING ANYTHING UNTIL I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

HELGA? YOU?
YOU'RE DEEP VOICE?

- [ Chuckles ] LOOKS LIKE IT.
- BUT I DON'T GET IT.

HOW COME YOU COULDN'T
JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU KNEW?

WHY'D YOU HAVE TO MAKE UP
ALL THIS CRAZY SECRET IDENTITY?

- NO REASON.
- BUT, HELGA, YOU JUST RISKED EVERYTHING...

TO HELP ME SAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO? WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

THAT'S A PRETTY AMAZING THING TO
DO FOR SOMEONE YOU CLAIM TO HATE.

YEAH, WELL I'M A PRETTY
AMAZING PERSON, FOOTBALL HEAD.

BUT I THOUGHT YOU WERE
ON YOUR DAD'S SIDE.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA
GET RICH OFF THE WHOLE DEAL.

- MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING.
- HELGA, WHY'D YOU DO IT?

- I-IT'S MY CIVIC DUTY.
- HELGA.

- 'CAUSE I LOVE A GOOD MYSTERY?
- OH, COME ON! WHAT'S THE REAL REASON?

OH, I DON'T KNOW, ARNOLDO. I GUESS MAYBE I
JUST TOOK PITY ON YOU AND YOUR STUPID FRIENDS!

WELL, WHY?
'CAUSE...

'CAUSE I GUESS MAYBE I DON'T HATE
YOU AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT, OKAY?

I GUESS MAYBE I EVEN
KIND OF LIKE YOU A LITTLE.

HECK, I GUESS YOU MIGHT EVEN
KINDA SAY THAT I LIKE YOU A LOT.

YOU DO?
YOU DID THIS FOR ME?

THAT'S RIGHT, HAIR BOY!
I MEAN, CRIMINEY!

WHAT ELSE ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO
WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVE IS IN TROUBLE!

LOVE? YOU HEARD ME,
PAL! I LOVE YOU! LOVE YOU!

WHO ELSE DO YOU THINK HAS
BEEN STALKING YOU NIGHT AND DAY,

BUILDING SHRINES TO YOU, FILLING
VOLUMES OF BOOKS WITH POEMS ABOUT YOU?

I LOVE YOU, ARNOLD!
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU...

EVER SINCE I FIRST LAID EYES
ON YOUR STUPID FOOTBALL HEAD!

AND FROM THAT MOMENT AND EVERY MOMENT
SINCE, I'VE LIVED AND BREATHED FOR YOU,

DREAMED OF THE MOMENT I COULD
FINALLY TELL YOU MY SECRET FEELINGS...

AND COULD GRAB YOU
AND KISS YOU AND...

OH, COME HERE, YOU BIG LUG!

I'M CONFUSED. DID YOU JUST SAY
YOU LOVED ME? WHAT, ARE YOU DEAF?

[ Gerald ] ARNOLD. NOT NOW!

- NOT NOW? WHO THE...
- OH, ARNOLD, JUST HOLD ME.

I-I-I NEED TO THINK.

YES, I SUPPOSE YOU'LL HAVE TO DO THE
THINKING FOR BOTH OF US NOW, DARLING.

WHOA. THIS IS ALL
HAPPENING TOO FAST.

I FEEL... I FEEL DIZZY.
I NEED TO LIE DOWN.

WONDERFUL. I'll GO WITH YOU. NO!
I MEAN THERE'S NO TIME FOR THAT.

WE'VE GOT 20 MINUTES TO GET BACK TO THE
NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE THE BULLDOZERS ROLL.

- BULLDOZERS?
- HELGA, THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE HAVE TO SAVE THE
NEIGHBORHOOD. COME ON, LET'S ROLL.

[ Thumps ]

[ Blows Raspberry ]

- OH, NO.
- I COULDN'T FIND A CAB. COME ON.

- HELGA? WHAT'S SHE DOING HERE?
- NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, GERALD.

WE GOT EXACTLY 16 MINUTES TO GET BACK TO
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND STOP THE BULLDOZERS.

BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE.

- [ Screams ]
- [ Thunderclap ]

NICK, THAT FOOTBALL-HEADED KID
AND HIS LITTLE PALS...

HAVE A COPY OF THE DOCUMENT
ON VIDEOTAPE,

AND THEY'RE HEADED UPTOWN RIGHT
NOW WITH IT ON CITY BUS NUMBER 13.

GET 'EM!

DON'T WORRY, BOSS.
I'll TAKE CARE OF IT.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY, LISTEN UP.
THERE'S A BUS HEADED UPTOWN.

YOUR JOB IS TO STOP IT.

COULDN'T YOU GO
JUST A LITTLE FASTER?

I DRIVE
25 MILES AN HOUR.

NO EXCEPTIONS,
NO DISCUSSIONS.

- PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE.
- IT'S NOT MY PROBLEM.

BUT YOU SEE, THE THING IS,
MURRAY, WE'RE KIND OF IN A HURRY.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD'S ABOUT TO BE TORN DOWN,
AND WE HAVE THE PROOF THAT CAN STOP THEM.

BUT WE HAVE TO GET THERE
IN... 14 MINUTES.

I'll GET YOU THERE
WHEN I GET YOU THERE,

WHICH, ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE,
WILL BE IN ABOUT 44 MINUTES.

BUT THAT'LL BE TOO LATE. WE
HAVE TO GET THERE IN 14 MINUTES.

THEN I GUESS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO SPROUT WINGS AND FLY, CHESTER.

DON'T YOU WANNA SAVE ALL THOSE
PEOPLE'S HOMES? NOT MY PROBLEM, KID.

DON'T YOU CARE THAT EVERY
BUILDING FROM 33rd TO 39th STREET...

IS GOING TO BE DEMOLISHED?
33rd TO 39th STREET?

- THAT'S RIGHT.
- HEY, THAT'S WHERE MONA LIVES.

HANG ON
TO YOUR GOODIES, KIDS.

WE GOT A NEIGHBORHOOD
TO SAVE.

[ Gerald ] IS THERE
ANYTHING WE CAN DO?

YEAH. YOU CAN GET DOWN
ON YOUR KNEES...

AND PRAY THIS HUNK OF JUNK
HOLDS TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH...

TO GET US UPTOWN
IN ONE PIECE.

HEY, WHERE'S ARNOLD?

LOOK!

- IN POSITION, SIR.
- DO IT.

ROGER THAT.

[ Praying In Hebrew ]

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE
RELIGIOUS. NEITHER DID I.

[ Groans ]

MURRAY!

HIS FAKE LEG'S STUCK.
I CAN'T BUDGE IT!

OH, PERFECT.
GERALD, YOU'LL HAVE TO DRIVE.

- HIM?
- ME? ARE YOU CRAZY?

YOU'RE THE TOP-SCORING RUNAWAY
BUS PLAYER AT THE ARCADE. YOU CAN DO IT.

ARNOLD, THAT'S A GAME.
THIS IS REAL LIFE.

YOU CAN DO IT, GERALD.
I KNOW YOU CAN.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS
HAVE TO DO THAT?

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO
LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE?

"WE CAN SAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
WE CAN FIND THE DOCUMENT!

YOU CAN DRIVE THE BUS!"
'CAUSE SOMEBODY HAS TO.

OH, MAN! GET ON THE FLOOR.
YOU TOO, HELGA.

- THE FLOOR? WHY?
- BECAUSE I'M DRIVING THE BUS, OKAY?

AND BECAUSE I'M NINE YEARS
OLD AND I CAN'T REACH THE PEDALS.

DO IT! ARNOLD,
YOU WORK THE CLUTCH.

HELGA, YOU WORK THE BRAKES.

AND BOTH OF YOU TRY TO GET MURRAY'S
FAKE LEG OFF THE STINKING GAS PEDAL!

OW!
OW!

BRAKE!

MY CANS!

CLUTCH! CLUTCH!

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO. YOU'RE
PLANNING TO BLOW THE STREET UP,

MAKE A HOLE BIG ENOUGH
TO STOP THE BULLDOZERS...

FROM KNOCKING DOWN

YOU COULD DO SERIOUS
JAIL TIME FOR THAT.

- WELL, I, UH...
- YOU NEED ANY HELP?

UH-OH.
WE CAN'T MAKE IT, ARNOLD!

- MAYBE WE CAN JUMP OUT.
- NO! NO, USE THE TRUCK!

- WE CAN JUMP THE HOLE!
- JUMP THE HOLE?

ARNOLD, THAT'S THE STUPIDEST
THING I'VE EVER HEARD!

- LET'S DO IT!

THE TAPE THAT'LL PROVE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD
IS A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK...

ALL I NEED IS A V.C.R. AND I CAN
SHOW YOU WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

I'M WAY AHEAD OF
YOU, ARNOLD. BRIDGET?

WOW!

WHO DOES SHE THINK
SHE IS ANYWAY, CATWOMAN?

[ Crowd Murmuring ]

OH, MY WORD!
THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME.

AS YOUR MAYOR, I RECLAIM
