[Captioning sponsored by THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

and NICKELODEON]

AR-NOLD!

MOVE IT, FOOTBALL HEAD!

Kids: HEY, ARNOLD!

ARNOLD, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THOSE BEAUTIFUL BLADES!

I'D DO ANYTHING TO GET THEM.

ADVANCED BRAKE TECHNOLOGY

GALVANIZED TRACTION

ADJUSTABLE DUAL-DENSITY WHEELS!

COOL!

WHAT EXACTLY DOES ALL THAT MEAN?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

BUT ARNOLD, THEY ARE THE BEST BLADES.

HOW WILL YOU PAY FOR THEM?

LOOK AT THIS.

"EARN BIG BUCKS SELLING THE SUPER-DUPER WACKO WATCH"?

THIS IS IT!

AREN'T THESE ADS A RIP-OFF, GERALD?

THAT WATCH IS MY TICKET

TO THE BEST BLADES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

JUST CO-SIGN THIS, DAD, AND I CAN MAKE MONEY.

CAN YOU HANDLE THIS RESPONSIBILITY?

WHY NOT MOW LAWNS OR DELIVER NEWSPAPERS?

NO, DAD, THAT'S SMALL CHANGE.

I CAN EARN BIG DOLLARS SELLING WATCHES.

YEAH, BUT WATCHES?

I DON'T KNOW, GERALD.

IT'S HARD WORK TO BE A SALESMAN.

DAD, YOU GOT TO GIVE YOUR SON SOME GROWING ROOM.

WELL... IT WOULD BE GOOD IF YOU LEARNED THE VALUE OF A DOLLAR.

YOU GOING TO HANDLE THIS RESPONSIBLY?

NO PROBLEMO, DAD.

OKAY... "MARTIN JOHANSEN."

"GERALD MARTIN JOHANSEN."

AND IT'S COMPLETELY WATERPROOF!

WHO'D LIKE TO PUT ONE

IN THIS TANK HERE AND SEE IF IT STILL WORKS?

ME, ME!

STINKY DOES!

GEE WHILLIKERS! S

IT'S STILL TICKING!

IT'S ALSO COMPLETELY INDESTRUCTIBLE!

SIR, WHY DON'T YOU TRY HITTING A WATCH WITH THIS?

( crowd gasps )

LOOKS LIKE YOU'LL BE SELLING WACKO JIGSAW PUZZLES

FROM NOW ON, GERALDO.

YOU WOULD BE CORRECT, MA'AM

IF THAT WAS A REAL WACKO WATCH.

NOW, MR. POTTS, WHY DON'T YOU TRY HITTING

THE GENUINE ARTICLE?

HUH?

( all gasping )

( all cheering, screaming )

( phone rings )

Man: WACKO.

This is Gerald Johansen, sir.

I'll be needing another shipment.

SO SOON?

WELL, CONGRATULATIONS!

YOU'VE EARNED ADMISSION TO OUR GOLDEN CIRCLE

WHICH IS RESERVED FOR OUR BEST SALESMEN.

AND YOU ARE CLEARLY ONE OF OUR BEST.

Thanks, Mr. Wacko.

I WOULDN'T SAY IT IF I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.

SO, MR. GOLDEN CIRCLE, NOW YOU'LL GET BOXES

OF WACKO WATCHES WEEKLY, DELIVERED TO YOUR HOUSE.

REALLY? I MEAN, I'LL HAVE TO TALK IT OVER WITH MY PEOPLE.

BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE A SOLID IDEA TO ME, SIR.

WELL, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, SON.

REMEMBER, THERE ARE NO CHALLENGES, JUST OPPORTUNITIES.

YES!

( chuckling )

ANOTHER ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE.

HE'LL GET HIMSELF IN A HOLE

AND HIS PARENTS WILL HAVE TO BAIL HIM OUT

JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHERS.

( baby crying )

Gerald: YOU KNOW THE COMPUTER I'M TALKING ABOUT.

IT'S GOT A MODEM, WITH INTERNET ACCESS, AN ALARM CLOCK.

YEAH, THAT'S IT; I WANT IT IN RED.

( phone rings )

HOLD ON, ANOTHER LINE.

G.M.

NO, I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO TALK

TO THE COMPANY'S PRESIDENT

NOT SOME SENIOR EXECUTIVE V.P.!

Father: GERALD?

( doorknob rattling )

GERALD!

I GOT TO TALK TO YOU A SECOND.

COME IN. HEY, DADDY, WHAT'S SHAKING?

IT'S ABOUT THESE WATCHES.

I'M SORRY, DADDY.

I TOLD YOU... NO FAMILY DISCOUNTS.

I'M COVERED, GERALD.

THIS BUSINESS OF YOURS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND.

DADDY, I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN

BUT EVERYTHING'S, YOU KNOW, UH, COPACETIC.

I WISH WE COULD TALK MORE

BUT IT'S SORT OF A BAD TIME FOR ME.

SO, HERE'S A CARD.

BUSINESS CARDS!

WHEN DID YOU GET THESE?

AND WHAT'S THIS PHONE NUMBER?

I NEED MY OWN LINE...

DON'T WANT THE FAMILY PHONE TIED UP?

GERALD!

GOT TO HUSTLE

OR I'LL BE LATE.

GOT TO SEE ABOUT SOME SKATES.

CATCH YOU ON THE REBOUND, DADDY.

HEY, KID, LIKE YOUR FACE.

WOW, THANKS.

GERALD!

IT IS ALL ON ME, BOYS.

EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY!

Boy: WHEE!

UH, THIS SHOULD COVER IT.

OKAY, NO PROBLEM.

ALL I NEED IS SOME NEW CUSTOMERS.

( cash registers ringing )

( doorbells jingling )

( doorbells jingling )

( knocking on door )

HEY, GERALD.

HI, ARNOLD.

BAD DAY, HUH?

I'VE HAD BETTER ONES.

ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP?

YEAH, BUY THE REST OF MY WATCHES.

UH... ANYTHING A LITTLE LESS EXPENSIVE?

( doorbell rings )

AH, DON'T WORRY.

TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER.

YEAH, YOU ONLY HAVE A FEW HUNDRED WATCHES TO SELL.

YEAH, THANK GOODNESS.

ANOTHER WEEK'S WORTH OF WATCHES TO SELL.

MAN, SELLING ALL THESE WATCHES

IS GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE.

NO CHALLENGES, ARNOLD.

JUST OPPORTUNITIES.

( doorbell rings )

Man: SORRY, I FORGOT ONE!

OH, MAN!

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW?

YOU CAN SELL THEM, YOU'RE A GREAT SALESMAN.

ARNOLD, IF I'M SO GREAT

WHY AM I SURROUNDED BY ALL THESE WATCHES I CAN'T SELL?

LOOK AT THIS!

YOU CAN'T SELL ANY MORE WATCHES

BECAUSE YOU SATURATED THE MARKET.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW?

CALM DOWN, I HAVE AN IDEA.

YOU'RE GOING TO SELL

ALL THOSE WATCHES TO ONE PERSON.

TO WHO, ARNOLD?

TO WHO?!

Mr. Wacko: THESE KIDS ARE SUCH SUCKERS

THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN'T MAKE MONEY OFF OF THEM.

( knocking at door )

GOT TO GO, CRENSW.

I'LL CALL YOU BACK.

AH, YEAH?

COME IN.

( sighs )

MR. WACKO

I'M GERALD JOHANSEN.

I JUST CAME BY TO TELL YOU WHAT A GREAT PRODUCT YOU HAVE.

REALLY. WHAT'S YOUR ANGLE?

THERE IS NO ANGLE.

WITH WACKO WATCHES, YOU DON'T NEED AN ANGLE.

THEY SELL THEMSELVES.

DEMAND HAS BEEN SO HIGH

I'VE RAISED PRICES THREE TIMES.

YOU'RE KIDDING.

I KID YOU NOT.

WHY DO YOU SELL WACKO WATCHES SO CHEAP?

HMM... IT'S TRUE.

I HAVEN'T RAISED MY PRICES IN YEARS.

I SUPPOSE I COULD UP MY WHOLESALE PRICE

AND MAYBE EVEN DOUBLE MY INCOME.

( laughs ) AT LEAST. PROBABLY TRIPLE IT.

WHY DON'T YOU TRY A NEW AD CAMPAIGN?

SOMETHING LIKE, "ONLY A WACKO DOESN'T OWN A WACKO."

I LIKE IT!

"ONLY A WACKO DOESN'T OWN A WACKO!"

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.

IF I'M GOING TO EXPAND

I'LL NEED A LOT MORE WATCHES.

AND I CAN'T GET A NEW SHIPMENT

FROM THE FACTORY UNTIL NEXT MONTH.

GEE, THAT'S JUST TOO BAD.

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN SMART LIKE ME AND STOCKPILED YOUR SUPPLY.

I MUST HAVE... 30, 40 CRATES OF WATCHES.

30 OR 40 CRATES?

HEY, LISTEN, KID, WHAT DO YOU SAY

YOU SELL ME BACK SOME OF THOSE WATCHES?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHY SHOULD I SELL MY WATCHES BACK TO YOU

WHEN I CAN GET TRIPLE THE PRICE ON THE STREET?

COME ON, KID.

YOU GOT TO DO IT.

PLEASE?

I'LL PAY YOU DOUBLE

WHAT YOU PAID ME.

HMM...

MR. WACKO, YOU GOT YOURSELF A DEAL.

OH, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!

I'LL TAKE THEM ALL!

ARNOLD, I DID IT!

I AM A MASTER SALESMAN.

WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THE MONEY?

WELL, FIRST...

HEY, G.M., GLAD TO SEE YOU.

OH, HI, DAD.

HOW'S BUSINESS, SON?

FINE. WHAT'S UP?

WELL, WE HAVE A FEW MONEY MATTERS

TO TAKE CARE OF.

UH, SURE.

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

LET'S SEE HERE.

THERE'S YOUR NEW PHONE LINE BILL.

NO PROBLEM.

BEEPER...

FINE.

YOUR FAX MACHINE BILL.

AND YOUR BUSINESS CARDS.

OKAY.

GOOD TO SEE YOU LEARNED

THE VALUE OF A DOLLAR, SON.

( sighs )

ONE DOLLAR.

AFTER SELLING ALL THOSE WATCHES.

MAN!

MAKING MONEY IS EXPENSIVE.

HEY, GERALD, DO YOU LIKE MY FACE?

HUH?

OH, YEAH, SURE.

THANK YOU!

SO HOW YOU GOING TO GET

THOSE BLADES AGAIN?

IF HAROLD CAN FINISH

THIS LAST PIECE OF FUDGE

IT PROVES A KID CAN EAT

SEVEN POUNDS OF CHOCOLATE

AND NOT EXPLODE OR NOTHING.

( music plays )

OH, I SWALLOWED IT. ( groans )

Kids: YAY!

NO PROBLEM, RHONDA.

OUR PRESENTATION WILL BE BETTER.

WAY BETTER.

BOYS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

YOUR FUDGE PROJECT WAS VERY UNIQUELY YOU.

HAROLD, WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO

TO THE NURSE'S OFFICE AND LIE DOWN?

( bell rings )

( retching )

LUNCHTIME, KIDS.

WHO'LL BE "UNIQUELY YOU" FRIDAY?

NADINE, RHONDA, ARNOLD.

AREN'T YOU THE NEXT TRIO?

WE'RE ON IT, MR. SIMMONS.

Gerald: GLAD MY PRESENTATION'S OVER.

BEING "UNIQUELY YOU" WITH HELGA?

MAN, THAT WAS HUMILIATING.

YEAH, I'M GLAD

I GOT RHONDA AND NADINE AS PARTNERS.

THEY ALWAYS GET ALONG.

THANKS, NADINE.

WANT MY CHOCOLATE PUDDING SNACK?

I'VE GOT IT, LET'S TELL ARNOLD

WE'RE DOING A FASHION REVIEW FROM THE '60s.

EYELINER, WHITE LIPSTICK

AND LITTLE PILLBOX HATS.

DON'T YOU LOVE IT?

NO. I WANT TO DO A PROJECT

ON THE MALAYSIAN BEETLE-- IT'S AMAZING.

YOU CAN LET IT GO, WAIT FOR IT TO CATCH SOMETHING

AND TAKE PIATURES. LOOK.

EW! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU, NADINE.

THAT'S DISGUSTING.

GET IT AWAY FROM MY FOOD.

IT'S NOT DISGUSTING.

IT'S NATURE.

THAT'S NOT NATURE.

NATURE IS BEAUTIFUL.

THAT'S A HIDEOUS BUG.

IT'S NOT A BUG, IT'S A BEETLE.

YOU DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN A BUG AND A BEETLE?

( laughs )

WHO CARES WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS?

THEY'RE ALL GROSS.

ANYWAY, WE'RE DOING A FASHION REVIEW.

SO FORGET IT.

BUT I WANT TO DO AN INSECT REPORT.

YOU CAN PICK NEXT TIME.

THIS TIME WE'RE DOING A FASHION REVIEW.

YOU ALWAYS GET TO PICK

AND WE END UP PLAYING SUPERMODELS.

IT'S NOT FAIR.

YOU DON'T EVEN CARE WHAT I LIKE.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW

WHY I'M BEST FRIENDS WITH YOU.

THEN DON'T BE.

I'LL DO MY BUG REPORT WITH ARNOLD.

WE DON'T NEED YOU.

OH, YEAH? HOW WILL ARNOLD DO THAT?

HE'S DOING THE FASHION SHOW WITH ME

AND WITHOUT YOU.

NO, HE'S WORKING WITH ME.

YOU'LL BE TOTALLY LEFT OUT.

I WILL NOT.

YES, YOU WILL.

HI, WHEN DO WE START?

I'M NOT SPEAKING TO NADINE ANYMORE-- NOT EVER.

SO, YOU AND I WILL DO

A PRESENTATION

ALL BY OURSELVES, ARNOLD.

WAIT, I'M...

NOT FAIR.

I SAID WE'RE EX-BEST FRIENDS FIRST.

SO, ARNOLD, YOU AND ME WILL WORK TOGETHER.

OKAY? OKAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THAT'S TWO PROJECTS-- I CAN'T...

( bell rings )

( kids yelling, talking )

OKAY, I'LL COME TO YOUR HOUSE AT 3:00

WITH MY MAGAZINES.

WE'LL MAKE A BIG CHART.

JUST US.

BUT...

OKAY, SEE YOU THEN.

OKAY, THEN I'LL MEET YOU AT 4:00 AT CITY LAKE

TO TAKE SLIME SAMPLES. OKAY?

BUT, I...

OKAY. YOU AND ME, ARNOLD.

GREAT, NOW I'M DOING TWO PROJECTS:

ONE WITH RHONDA, ONE WITH NADINE.

IT'S BAD NEWS, ARNOLD.

YOU'LL END UP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE

OF THEIR FIGHT.

THEY'RE BEST FRIENDS, GERALD.

THIS WILL BLOW OVER BY TOMORROW.

WHATEVER YOU SAY.

Arnold: I'M TELLING YOU, I DON'T REALLY

KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FASHION.

HMM, OKAY. TELL ME THIS--

DO RED AND ORANGE GO TOGETHER?

UH...

OF COURSE NOT.

WE BOTH KNOW THAT.

BUT TRY TO TELL THAT TO NADINE.

SHE DOESN'T LISTEN.

MAYBE YOU TWO SHOULD...

NADINE'S BEEN WEARING HER HAIR THE SAME

SIBBA CABK@UNBELIEVABLE.

WELL, SHE...

SHE DOES IT ON PURPOSE

JUST TO ANNOY ME.

I'D BE HAPPY TO STYLE HER HAIR

BUT NO, SHE WON'T LET ME.

HAND ME YOUR SCISSORS.

NADINE IS TOO DUMB TO UNDERSTAND

THAT FASHION IS WHAT MAKES PEOPLE

DIFFERENT FROM ANIMALS.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CREATE

AND RE-DEFINE OUR OWN SELF-IMAGE.

SHOW ME A BEETLE THAT SMART--

SHOW ME EVEN ONE.

Nadine: JUST LOOK AT HIM.

ISN'T HE MAGNIFICENT?

INSECTS WERE HERE BEFORE WE WERE

AND THEY'LL BE HERE

LONG AFTER WE'RE GONE.

THEY'RE PRACTICALLY OUR LANDLORDS.

SO, ABOUT OUR PROJECT...

ONE TIME I FOUND A SPIDER EGG SAC.

BEAUTIFUL. I SHOWED IT TO RHONDA.

SHE THOUGHT I SNEEZED IN MY HAND.

( sighs )

HEY, ARNOLD.

HEY, GERALD.

THEY BEST FRIENDS YET?

BOTH TALKED ABOUT HOW STUPID THE OTHER IS.

SO WHAT NOW, SHERLOCK?

TOMORROW'S ANOTHER DAY.

MAE THEY'LL COME TO THEIR SENSES.

HI, ARNOLD.

HI, RHONDA.

WOW, IS THIS ALL FOR OUR PROJECT?

NO, IT'S ALL NADINE'S STUFF.

I CAN'T STAND

LOOKING AT THIS PLAQUE.

TELL HER SHE CAN KEEP THE WHOLE BOX.

RHONDA, YOU GIVE IT TO HER.

I'M NOT SPEAKING TO HER-- EVER.

YOU CAN GIVE

SHE COMES OVER.

BUT, RHONDA, OUR PROJECT...

( knocking at door )

COME IN.

HI, ARNOLD.

HI, NADINE.

RHONDA WAS JUST HERE

WITH SOMETHING FOR YOU.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

I LINED MY TARANTULA'S CAGE

WITH HER FASHION DRAWINGS.

TELL HER SHE

CAN TAKE THEM.

ALL SHE HAS TO DO

IS STICK HER HAND INSIDE THE CAGE. HA!

BYE, ARNOLD.

NADINE...

GREAT.

( phone rings )

( ticking )

( rings again )

HELLO?

Rhonda: I can't stand it anymore!

RHONDA, YOU ALREADY TOLD ME THIS STORY.

STACY DOLL, CHRISTMAS EVE, NADINE CUT OFF ALL HER HAIR.

SEE? I REMEMBER.

GOOD NIGHT, RHONDA.

( beeps off )

( phone rings )

HELLO?

Nadine: Hi, Arnold.

NADINE, I THOUGHT YOU WENT TO BED.

Not really.

TRY COUNTING BACKWARDS.

I DID. I COUNTED ALL OF RHONDA'S STUPID BIRTHDAY PARTIES

BACK TO AGE FOUR.

We all had to dress up as princesses.

( beeps )

HANG ON, I GOT ANOTHER CALL.

( beeps )

HANG ON, I GOT ANOTHER CALL.

I KNEW IT. YOU'RE TALKING TO HER, AREN'T YOU?

WHAT IS SHE SAYING ABOUT ME?

I KEPT HEARING THIS LITTLE BEEP SOUND

and I knew you were on the line with her

chatting away, talking behind my back, right?

Nadine was always jealous.

Isn't she jealous?

Oh, I just...!

( kids laughing, talking )

THE BALL MISSED ME?

IT MISSED ME?

YOU OKAY, ARNOLD?

I CAN'T PLAY. TOO TIRED.

RHONDA AND NADINE KEPT CALLING ME ALL NIGHT.

I TOLD YOU NOT TO GET IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM.

BUT DID YOU LISTEN? NO.

IT'S ARNOLD, THE PROBLEM-SOLVER.

ARNOLD, THE AMBASSADOR.

ARNOLD, PAPA THERESA.

IT MISSED ME!

IT MISSED ME!

IT... OW!

I'M OKAY!

GERALD, I HAVE TO HELP THEM WORK IT OUT.

THEY'VE BEEN BEST FRIENDS, FOREVER.

AS LONG AS WE HAVE.

OKAY, I SEE YOUR POINT.

LET'S FIGURE THIS OUT.

WHERE WERE THEY WHEN THE FIGHT STARTED?

IT WAS AT LUNCH, TUESDAY.

OKAY, WHO WAS SITTING AT THE TABLE?

WELL, THERE WAS HAROLD AND STINKY.

DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING THE GIRLS

SAID THAT DAY, STINKY?

WELL, I REMEMBER RHONDA SMELLED REAL NICE.

I COMPLIMENTED HER ABOUT IT.

SHE SAID, "SIT SOMEWHERE ELSE, CHEESEBALL."

THANKS, STINKY.

THAT HELPS, I GUESS.

HAROLD, YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING?

LET'S SEE... NADINE WAS EATING A TURKEY SANDWICH

TWO FRUIT FOLD-UPS AND A CREAM...

BUT WHAT DID THEY TALK ABOUT?

RHONDA SAID, "WANT MY CHOCOLATE PUDDING SNACK?"

CHOCOLATE PUDDING SNACK? WHERE?!

RELAX, CHOCOLATE BOY.

IT WAS TWO DAYS AGO.

THEY DON'T GO BAD THAT FAST.

WHERE IS IT?! IN THE TRASH?

THAT KID'S GOT PROBLEMS.

THE BASIC CONFLICT

IN THE GIRLS' RELATIONSHIP STEMS FROM

THEIR MUTUAL INABILITY TO COMPROMISE

AND DISRESPECT FOR EACH OTHER'S SELFHOOD.

REALLY? TELL ME ABOUT IT.

JUNGIAN THERAPY DIFFERS

FROM THE FREUDIAN APPROACH IN...

NO, I MEAN, TELL ME ABOUT THE FIGHT.

OH, RIGHT. WELL, BOTH RHONDA AND NADINE

WANTED TO DO A PROJECT EMPHASIZING PERSONAL STRENGTHS.

BUT THIS TIME, NADINE WAS OVERTLY HOSTILE

TO RHONDA'S NORMALLY DOMINANT BEHAVIOR.

EACH FELT HER CORE INTERESTS WERE BEING TRIVIALIZED.

SO, BOTH WANTED TO DO THEIR FAVORITE PROJECT

AND NEITHER WOULD BACK DOWN.

SO, BOTH OF THEM GOT THEIR FEELINGS HURT.

EXACTLY.

BOY, THIS PSYCHOLOGY SURE IS TRICKY.

( kids chattering, shouting )

( birds chirping )

Girls: OKAY, ARNOLD, WHAT

DID YOU WANT TO TALK...

HEY! THAT'S NO FAIR.

YOU DIDN'T SAY SHE'D BE HERE.

TIME TO PATCH THINGS UP.

I WON'T BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE.

YOU THINK ABOUT EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME.

NOT ANYMORE.

SURE YOU DO.

EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT SPEAKING TO NADINE

THAT'S ALL YOU TALK ABOUT.

YOU'RE THE SAME.

YOU'RE BOTH MAD BECAUSE THE OTHER

WOULDN'T CHANGE HER MIND.

QUIT ACTING LIKE BABIES, AND APOLOGIZE.

I WILL, IF RHONDA WILL.

I WILL, IF NADINE GOES FIRST.

NO, YOU FIRST.

HOW ABOUT IF WE SAY "I'M SORRY" TOGETHER?

OKAY BY ME. I'LL COUNT.

NO, I'LL COUNT.

( exasperated sigh )

I MEAN, WE'LL BOTH COUNT, NADINE.

ONE, TWO, THREE...

ONE, TWO, THREE...

ONE, TWO, THREE...

I'M SORRY.

OKAY, GREAT, NADINE.

NOW, LISTEN, I KNOW WHAT WE BOTH CAN DO.

SEE, YOUR BUG IDEA'S OKAY

BUT MY FASHION WAS...

( crack )

WELL, PAPA THERESA?

THEY'RE BEST FRIENDS AGAIN.

AND YOU'RE JUST IN TIME TO PLAY SOME BALL!

Girls: HEY, ARNOLD!

WHAT?

WE'VE GOT A GREAT IDEA

FOR THE PROJECT.

WE'LL FINISH IT BY OURSELVES.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW UP TOMORROW.

REALLY?

WAIT, WHAT EXACTLY

DO I HAVE TO DO?

Rhonda ( on microphone ): Ladies and gentlemen

WELCOME TO OUR ONE AND ONLY INSECT FASHION SHOW.

( class laughing )

ARNOLD'S WINGS ARE MADE OF IMPORTED SILK FABRIC

THAT NADINE HAS HAND-PAINTED HERSELF

IN A STUNNING DESIGN.

AND HIS FEELERS, WHICH RHONDA

HAS RECREATED IN ALL THEIR SPLENDOR

SERVE AS HIS PRIMARY SENSE ORGAN

ALERTING HIM TO POSSIBLE PREDATORS.

( class laughs again )

WAIT A MINUTE.

HOW COME I'M DOING THIS?

SORRY, GERALD.

YOU ALWAYS GET IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYTHING!

AND NOW I'M A CATERPILLAR!

JUST SMILE AND MOVE, OKAY?

( all laughing, cheering... )
