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

and NICKELODEON]

AR-NOLD!

MOVE IT, FOOTBALL HEAD!

Kids: HEY, ARNOLD!

Stinky: YOU'RE SO LUCKY MR. SIMMONS PICKED YOU

TO DROP OFF IGGY'S HOMEWORK, ARNOLD.

IGGY'S SO COOL.

I BET HE'S NOT EVEN SICK.

YEAH. HE'S SO COOL.

REMEMBER WHEN HE DREW THAT FUNNY CHALK PICTURE OF PRINCIPAL WARTZ

LOOKING LIKE A CLOWN ON THE PLAYGROUND?

AND WARTZ GOT MAD

AND MADE IGGY STAY AFTER SCHOOL FOR A WEEK.

THAT WAS SO COOL.

YEAH, I BET HE'S JUST FAKING BEING SICK.

HE'S SO COOL.

( knocking )

HI, IS IGGY HERE?

HE'S ON THE SOFA.

( TV playing )

( gasps )

ARNOLD?

IGGY?

ARNOLD?

IGGY?

ARNOLD?

WHAT IS THAT?

NOTHING.

FORGET IT.

DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING.

ARE THOSE BUNNY PAJAMAS?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

I'M NINE YEARS OLD, FOR CRIPE'S SAKES.

WHY WOULD I BE WEARING BUNNY PAJAMAS?

IGGY, SWEETHEART, I GOT TO WASH THIS BLANKET.

THEY ARE, THEY'RE BUNNY PAJAMAS.

OH, MAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

OKAY, OKAY, SO IT'S TRUE.

BUT, ARNOLD, YOU GOT TO DO ME A FAVOR.

YOU GOT TO PROMISE ME

YOU WON'T TELL.

I PROMISE.

I GOT A REPUTATION.

PEOPLE THINK I'M COOL.

IF THEY KNEW I SLEEP IN BUNNY PAJAMAS, I'D LOSE ALL RESPECT.

I WORKED HARD FOR THAT RESPECT.

I UNDERSTAND.

PROMISE ME, ARNOLD.

I PROMISE.

"THAT I WON'T TELL ANYONE."

THAT I WON'T TELL ANYONE THAT YOU SLEEP IN BUNNY PAJAMAS.

IT'S NOT FUNNY, ARNOLD!

I KNOW.

I PROMISE.

Stinky: SO, THAT'S HOW COME MY FAVORITE PUDDING IS LEMON PUDDING.

YOU TELL THAT STORY EVERY MORNING.

THAT'S ON ACCOUNT OF IT'S MY FAVORITE STORY ABOUT MYSELF.

SO, ARNOLD, HOW WAS IGGY YESTERDAY?

WAS HE FAKING?

OH, NO, HE WASN'T FAKING.

I MEAN, HE SEEMED KIND OF SICK.

( chuckles )

WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

NOTHING.

WELL, I RECKON

SOMETHING MUST BE FUNNY

ON ACCOUNT OF YOU'RE LAUGHING.

JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED

WHEN I WENT TO IGGY'S LAST NIGHT.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT.

( grunts )

Stinky: COME ON, ARNOLD.

WHAT WAS SO FUNNY?

I TOLD YOU, I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT.

WAS IT SOMETHING HE DID?

WELL, IT WAS JUST SOMETHING HE WAS WEARING

BUT THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY.

WAS IT A DRESS?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

WAS IT LEDERHOSEN?

NO, SID, IT WASN'T LEDERHOSEN.

WELL, COME ON.

HOW BAD COULD IT BE?

I MEAN, IT WASN'T LIKE

HE WAS WEARING BUNNY PAJAMAS OR SOMETHING.

WAIT, YOU'RE PULLING MY LEG, RIGHT?

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

IGGY WEARS BUNNY PAJAMAS?

THE KIND WITH FEET AND FLOPPY EARS?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

OH, MAN.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.

HE MUST BE THE ONLY NINE-YEAR-OLD

IN THE WHOLE DANG CITY THAT WEARS BUNNY PAJAMAS.

I DIDN'T SAY HE WEARS BUNNY PAJAMAS.

BUT THAT'S IT, ISN'T IT, ARNOLD?

I CAN TELL BY THE WAY

YOUR FACE IS TURNING ALL RED.

I PROMISED IGGY I WOULDN'T TELL

SO YOU GUYS HAVE TO PROMISE, TOO.

SURE, WE PROMISE.

WE WON'T TELL A SOUL.

IT'S TRUE.

IGGY WEARS BUNNY PAJAMAS.

( all laughing )

WITH BIG OLD FLOPPY EARS AND EVERYTHING.

JUST LIKE A LITTLE BABY.

( all laughing )

THERE HE IS!

IT'S BUNNY BOY.

WHERE'S YOUR BUNNY PAJAMAS?

DO YOU WEAR LITTLE DIAPERS, TOO?

WHAT?

DON'T TRY TO DENY IT.

EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT YOUR FEET PAJAMAS.

YEAH, ARNOLD TOLD US ALL ABOUT IT.

ARNOLD!

I DIDN'T TELL THEM.

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

YOU TRAITOR.

IGGY, I SWEAR, THEY GUESSED.

I COULDN'T HELP IT.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS TO ME, ARNOLD.

WHERE'S YOUR LITTLE DIAPERS?

( all jeering... )

LOOK, I'M REALLY SORRY.

I KNOW YOU'RE MAD, BUT YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME.

I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE.

IGGY?

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

( sighs )

HEY, WHAT'S WRONG?

NOTHING.

IT'S JUST THAT IGGY HATES ME.

HATES YOU?

WHY?

YOU'RE SUCH A NICE KID

ALWAYS DOING THE RIGHT THING

HELPING PEOPLE.

WHAT THE HECK DID YOU DO TO MAKE HIM HATE YOU?

WELL, I ACCIDENTALLY FOUND OUT HE SLEEPS IN BUNNY PAJAMAS.

( snorts )

YOU MEAN FEET PAJAMAS?

WITH A HOOD AND FLOPPY EARS?

YEAH.

HE MADE ME PROMISE NOT TO TELL.

BUT SID AND STINKY FOUND OUT

AND NOW THE WHOLE SCHOOL KNOWS.

OH, THAT'S A RIOT!

IT'S NOT FUNNY, GRANDPA.

OF COURSE NOT.

I JUST WISH I KNEW HOW TO MAKE HIM FORGIVE ME.

WELL, SIR, SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY

YOU SHOULD BUY HIS FORGIVENESS WITH PRESENTS AND FAVORS.

BUT I SAY YOU SHOULD JUST GO TO THE BOY AND APOLOGIZE

AND EXPLAIN TO HIM IN A CALM, RATIONAL WAY HOW IT HAPPENED.

AND THAT YOU DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT HIM.

WHAT IF THAT DOESN'T WORK?

THEN BUY HIS FORGIVENESS

WITH PRESENTS AND FAVORS.

THERE NOW, THAT WASN'T SO HARD, WAS IT?

A NINE-YEAR-OLD IN BUNNY PAJAMAS.

OH, THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

OH, IT'S YOU.

HI, IGGY.

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW

I'M REALLY, REALLY SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

I DIDN'T WANT TO LET YOUR SECRET OUT.

IT WAS A COMPLETE ACCIDENT.

AND EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I REALLY HURT YOU AND EMBARRASSED YOU

I'M JUST REALLY SORRY.

AND I BROUGHT YOU THESE.

DELUXE CHOCOLATE CREAMS?

THEY FOR ME?

I KNOW THEY'RE YOUR FAVORITE.

I ASKED AROUND.

I LOVE THESE.

DOES THAT MEAN YOU FORGIVE ME?

NO WAY.

IGGY, WE HAVE TO TALK.

YOU CAN'T STAY MAD AT ME FOREVER.

IGGY, COME ON.

I BET EVERYBODY'S ALREADY FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT.

OH, LOOK, BOYS AND GIRLS,

IT'S THE BUNNY PAJAMA BOY.

HI, I'M IGGY, THE BUNNY BOY.

I USED TO THINK HE WAS COOL!

( sighs )

BOY, IGGY'S REALLY TAKING THIS THING HARD.

YEAH, THAT'S TRUE.

BUT HOW LONG CAN A FELLOW STAY MAD?

( wind blows )

( sleigh bells jingle )

( birds chirping )

LOOK, IGGY, I KNOW YOU'RE STILL MAD AT ME

BUT I'VE GOT AN IDEA.

WHAT IF I DO YOUR CHORES FOR A WHOLE WEEK?

WOULD THAT BE ENOUGH

TO PROVE TO YOU HOW SORRY I AM?

YOU'RE SAYING YOU WANT TO DO MY CHORES FOR A WHOLE WEEK?

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M FINISHED.

I DID ALL OF YOUR CHORES.

OKAY, THANKS, ARNOLD.

WAIT A MINUTE.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S OKAY.

YOU FORGIVE ME NOW, RIGHT?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

OF COURSE NOT!

AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME?

HOW COULD DOING A FEW CHORES

POSSIBLY MAKE ME FORGIVE YOU?

IGGY, I THOUGHT WE HAD A DEAL.

I NEVER SAID I'D LET YOU OFF THE HOOK.

WHAT, IGGY?

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO PROVE TO YOU THAT I'M REALLY SORRY?

IGGY, THAT'S CRAZY.

IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'LL KNOW HOW I FELT WHEN YOU BETRAYED ME.

AND IT'S THE ONLY WAY

I'LL EVER FORGIVE YOU.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M DOING THIS.

ARNOLD, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WHEN YOU GO DOWN THERE

AND WALK THAT LONG, LONELY, EMBARRASSING WALK

IT'S GOING TO BE ALL I CAN BEAR TO WATCH...

AND TAKE PICTURES FOR THE ALBUM!

( cackling )

WELL, I RECKON IT'S JUST ABOUT TIME FOR ARNOLD TO COME OUT.

I GUESS IT'S KIND OF MEAN OF IGGY

TO MAKE ARNOLD GO THROUGH THIS.

I MEAN, ARNOLD REALLY DIDN'T SPILL THE BEANS.

YEAH, COME TO THINK OF IT

IT WAS YOU AND ME WHO PULLED THE TRUTH OUT OF HIM.

IT WAS A FLUKE.

YEAH, IT WASN'T ARNOLD'S FAULT.

IT SURE IS A TERRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS.

TOTAL HUMILIATION.

YUP.

AND IT'LL BE MUCH MORE HUMILIATING

ON ACCOUNT OF WE'LL HAVE PICTURES.

ARNOLD, WAIT!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS!

( crowd laughing... )

ARNOLD!

LOOK, THE BUNNY BOY'S ON TV!

ARNOLD!

ARNOLD, I AM SO SORRY.

OH, IT'S YOU.

I TRIED TO CALL IT OFF.

I COULDN'T GET THROUGH.

I'M SORRY.

COME ON, ARNOLD.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU?

HOW ABOUT I DO YOUR CHORES FOR A WEEK?

OH, COME ON.

YOU KNOW, EVENTUALLY

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FORGIVE ME, ARNOLD.

ARNOLD?

ARNOLD!

Bob: HERE'S YOUR BIG SLURP, KID.

OH, MIRIAM, I GOT YOU

SOME CHOCOLATE DOUGHNUTS.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

YOU GOT TO EAT SOMETHING.

YOU'RE STARTING YOUR COMMUNITY SERVICE JOB

DOWN AT THE ANIMAL SHELTER TODAY.

I'M NOT GOOD IN THE MORNING.

COME ON, FRESH AIR WILL DO YOU GOOD.

AND HELGA, SINCE

YOUR MOM'S GOING TO BE OUT OF THE HOUSE

I HIRED A NANNY.

A NANNY? HA!

I DON'T NEED A NANNY.

I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

BALONEY. YOU'RE ONLY SEVEN.

I'M NINE, DAD.

ANYWAY, HER NAME IS INGE PERLMUTTER.

SHE'LL BE HERE SOON.

WHAT?! ARE YOU TRYING TO RUIN MY LIFE?

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!

DON'T BUST MY CHOPS.

IT'LL BE GOOD FOR YOU.

( doorbell rings )

IT'LL BE GOOD FOR YOU.

( doorbell rings )

AH, THAT MUST BE HER NOW.

MORNING, INGE.

WELL, GOT TO GO PICK UP MY LUCKY BELT

BEFORE NEXT WEEK'S CLEARANCE SALE.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

I'M INGE.

OH, AND YOU MUST BE HELGA.

NO, SHE'S HELGA, AND I'M TOULOUSE-LAUTREC.

SODA AND CHOCOLATE DONUTS ARE NOT A PROPER BREAKFAST.

HERE, I HAVE BROUGHT

HOMEMADE GOOSEBERRY JAM AND PUMPERNICKEL.

YEAH, YEAH, GREAT.

BUT I ALREADY ATE-- ALL FULL.

TOO MUCH SUGAR MAKES CHILDREN CRANKY.

LOOK, YOUR FACE IS CRANKY ALREADY.

I'LL PUT SOME JAM ON MY HOMEMADE BREAD

AND YOU WILL TRY IT

AND I'M SURE YOU WILL LIKE IT.

MOM, AREN'T YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING?

I JUST, I HAVE TO GO...

TO WORK... SOMEWHERE.

FINE, I'LL EAT YOUR JAM AND BREAD

AND THEN I'M OUT OF HERE.

AND AFTER THAT, YOU WILL GET DRESSED FOR SCHOOL.

WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS?

YOUR DRESS IS NOT PRESSED, SHOES NOT POLISHED

AND WE MUST BRAID YOUR HAIR.

HEY, LADY, THIS IS HOW I LOOK EVERY DAY.

I AM NOT GOING TO SCHOOL LOOKING LIKE SOME KIND OF

STARCHED AND PRESSED WIND-UP DOLL.

Stinky: WHY, HELGA

YOU LOOK JUST LIKE THE GIRL ON THE BOX OF HOT CHOCOLATE.

AW, PUT A SOCK IN IT, STINKY!

THINK I DON'T KNOW?

MY NANNY WOULDN'T LET ME OUT UNTIL I CHANGED.

YOU HAVE A NANNY NOW?

YEAH. SHE THINKS SHE CAN JUST MOVE IN

AND RUN MY LIFE.

WELL, I'VE GOT NEWS FOR HER.

NOBODY RUNS HELGA PATAKI.

WOW, YOU'VE GOT FLOWERS

IN YOUR HAIR.

YEAH, WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING OF IT

FOOTBALL HEAD?

NO, I WAS JUST THINKING

YOU LOOK KIND OF NICE.

( bell rings )

( voice trembling )

( door opens )

( heavy breathing )

Helga: OKAY, YOU BIG CANDY CANE!

LET'S SEE IF YOU GOT THE MUSTER TO SWING THE LUMBER!

( all cheering )

HELGA, I HAVE

( all cheering )

HELGA, I HAVE

BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU EVERYWHERE.

SHE'S PRETTY ENOUGH

TO BE THE QUEEN OF THE CHEESE FESTIVAL.

DON'T BOTHER ME NOW, EDELWEISS.

YOU SHOULD HAVE COME HOME FIRST.

IT'S TIME FOR A NUTRITIOUS SNACK AND HOMEWORK.

AND AFTER DINNER, I WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO DO NEEDLEPOINT.

IT'S VERY CALMING FOR NERVOUS CHILDREN.

I'M STAYING WITH MY FRIENDS, AND THAT'S FINAL!

TOMORROW YOU MAY SEE YOUR FRIENDS AFTER SCHOOL.

WILL YOU COME AND HAVE CAKE?

All: YES!

YEAH!

SURE!

All: YES!

YEAH!

SURE!

( growls angrily )

Helga: NO, I DON'T HAVE TO GET USED TO HER, PHOEBE.

SHE'LL BE GONE SOON AS DAD SEES WHAT SHE MADE FOR DINNER.

SOME KIND OF FOREIGN FOOD.

DAD WILL BLOW HIS STACK.

HE HATES THAT STUFF!

I LOVE THIS STUFF!

I HAVEN'T HAD POTATO DUMPLINGS THIS GOOD

SINCE MY BABA MADE THEM WHEN I WAS A BOY.

I'LL PUT ANOTHER NOTCH IN MY LUCKY BELT.

GREAT. JUST GREAT.

HELGA, YOU HAVEN'T TOUCHED YOUR POTATO DUMPLING.

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG?

YEAH, IT STINKS.

Bob: HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY!

YOU WATCH YOUR MOUTH, MISSY.

( chair screeches )

YOU HAVEN'T ASKED TO

BE EXCUSED, HELGA.

CAN I BE EXCUSED, MOM?

UH...

( mumbles ): YEAH, WHATEVER.

THANKS, MOM.

I'M OUT OF HERE.

YOU MUST SHOW RESPECT, HELGA.

CURTSEY FOR YOUR FATHER.

ALL HAIL THE BEEPER KING!

HELGA!

HUH?

HELGA!

HUH?

( grunts )

( chomping )

( under her breath ): I HATE HER

I HATE HER, I HATE HER!

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

INGE HAS ADMIRABLE QUALITIES.

YOU COULD LEARN FROM HER.

WHAT ARE YOU, NUTS?

WOW, INGE

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL

YOU'RE INTELLIGENT--

THE MOST AMAZING WOMAN I EVER MET.

THAT TEARS IT.

WHY ARE YOU SO HARD ON INGE?

SHE MUST MAKE MISTAKES, LIKE EVERYONE.

NOT ENOUGH OF THEM.

( laughs mischievously )

Helga: OH, NO!

WHAT A MESS!

THIS IS TERRIBLE!

( panting ) WHAT HAPPENED, CHILD?

THAT WELCOME WREATH YOU'RE MAKING?

I WAS USING YOUR WOOD GLUE-- TOTALLY UNSUPERVISED--

AND I SPILLED THE WHOLE JAR ON DAD'S CHAIR, BY ACCIDENT

AND HE'LL BE HOME ANY MINUTE!

THANK GOODNESS THAT'S ALL IT IS.

I WAS AFRAID YOU WERE HURT.

YOU'RE NOT... UPSET?

NO, I KNOW HOW TO

REMOVE STAINS FROM ANYTHING.

YOUR FATHER'S CHAIR WILL BE

PERFECT AGAIN IN NO TIME.

( growls )

( beeping )

( laughs )

ANOTHER 20 MINUTES

AND IT'LL BE BURNT TO A CRISP.

( laughs )

( beeping )

( buzzes )

OOPS, LOOKS LIKE DINNER'S RUINED.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY DON'T MIND

EATING CEREAL FOR DINNER

BUT DAD WILL HIT THE ROOF.

OH, I HAVE PREPARED SEVERAL EMERGENCY DINNERS FOR

SUCH OCCASIONS.

WE'LL EAT IN NO TIME.

( growls )

( washer humming )

( beeps )

THIS TABLECLOTH IS REALLY DELICATE.

HMM...

( washer revving )

THAT'LL SHRED IT LIKE CHEESE

THROUGH A GRATER.

HAH!

WELL, I GUESS YOU RUINED

MOM'S ANTIQUE TABLECLOTH.

BAD DAY, HUH?

YES, I SEEM TO HAVE A LITTLE RAIN CLOUD

FOLLOWING ME EVERYWHERE.

TOUGH LUCK. MIGHT AS WELL TOSS IT.

NO, THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY TO RESCUE

THESE THINGS.

CRIMINY!

I'VE BEEN THINKING TOO SMALL.

IT'S TIME TO THINK BIG.

WHAT IF SHE LOSES SOMETHING REALLY VALUABLE?

NO, WHAT IF IT HAPPENS... TO DISAPPEAR?

( laughs mischievously )

AH!

( buzzing )

THIS IS PERFECT.

DAD'S LUCKY BELT WITH THE DIAMOND BUCKLE.

HE'LL BE LOOKING ALL OVER FOR IT TOMORROW.

HE NEVER STARTS A CLEARANCE SALE WITHOUT IT.

( laughs )

Bob: WHERE IN CREATION IS MY LUCKY BELT?!

I HAVE A CLEARANCE SALE.

I NEED THAT BELT!

( gasps )

YOU MEAN YOUR LUCKY BELT WITH THE DIAMOND BUCKLE IS MISSING?!

I CAN'T SLASH PRICES WITHOUT IT!

THIS IS TERRIBLE!

WE'RE GOING TO BE POOR!

SAY, DAD, ISN'T IT STRANGE?

YOUR BELT'S NEVER BEEN MISSING BEFORE--

ONLY SINCE INGE STARTED WORKING HERE.

WHAT ARE YOU DRIVING AT?

YOU SAID YOU LOOKED EVERYWHERE.

DID YOU LOOK IN INGE'S BEDROOM?

HMM.

I TRUSTED YOU.

I LET YOU INTO MY HOUSE... MY CASTLE!

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, WHY WOULD

YOU RIP ME OFF?

MR. BOB, I HAVE DONE NO SUCH THING!

WHEN YOU COME TO YOUR SENSES

YOU WILL REALIZE THIS HAS ALL BEEN A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

ISN'T THAT TRUE, HELGA?

A MISTAKE WAS MADE.

( weeping )

I TRUSTED YOU, NANNY INGE.

( weeping )

THE ONLY MISTAKE AROUND HERE

WAS ME HIRING YOU, LITTLE LADY.

NOW, GET YOUR STRUDEL-EATING FANNY OUT OF MY HOUSE.

FINE.

I WILL GO NOW.

SAYONARA, FRAULEIN!

YOUR SANDWICH LOOKS MIGHTY PRETTY, HELGA.

INGE MAKES A REAL NICE PRESENTATION.

HERE, IT'S YOURS.

BUT DON'T GET USED TO IT.

MY DAD FIRED HER THIS MORNING.

FIRED HER?

INGE SEEMED HIGHLY

QUALIFIED AT HER JOB.

YEAH, WELL, DAD FOUND HIS LUCKY BELT

UNDER HER BED THIS MORNING.

AND STEALING QUALIFIES YOU FOR GETTING FIRED.

I CAN'T BELIEVE INGE WOULD STEAL.

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

OF COURSE GOODY TWO-SHOES DIDN'T STEAL IT.

I HAD TO GET RID OF HER, SO I TOOK IT.

YOU SET HER UP ON PURPOSE?

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D DO SOMETHING THAT MEAN.

( bell rings )

( kids murmuring )

( bell rings )

( kids murmuring )

HEY, SHE WAS RUINING MY LIFE.

YOU CALL THIS STUFF COLE SLAW?

I CAN'T EAT ANY MORE.

THEN CLEAR YOUR PLATE.

THERE'S NO MORE ROOM IN THE SINK.

( sighs ) YOU KNOW, I KIND OF MISS OLD INGE.

SHE HAD THIS PLACE RUNNING LIKE A SWISS WATCH.

THE FOOD WAS GREAT

MY SHIRTS LOOKED BRAND-NEW

AND SHE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE.

WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT A GAL LIKE THAT

WOULD BE A COMMON THIEF?

YEAH, WELL, FORGET HER, DAD.

SHE WASN'T THAT GREAT.

ANYWAY, SHE'S PROBABLY

ALREADY WORKING FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.

WHAT IS THIS PLACE?

I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A PAINTING.

HI, INGE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I'M HERE EVERY DAY NOW.

I HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.

YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB?

NO ONE WILL HIRE A COMMON THIEF.

WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FOOD?

I GET BY.

IT'S MINE!

MINE, I TELL YOU!

GET AWAY, YOU DIRTY BIRD!

( gobbling )

( shrieks )

WHY DO I KEEP HAVING THIS DREAM?

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

I-I-I KNOW, I'LL JUST GO TO THE PARK TOMORROW

AND INGE WON'T BE THERE

AND IT'LL ALL BE OKAY.

( birds singing )

OH, NO.

IT'S JUST LIKE IN MY DREAM!

DON'T PANIC, HELGA.

PROBABLY JUST A COINCIDENCE.

SO, INGE, DID YOU FIND ANOTHER JOB?

NO, HELGA. THERE IS NO JOB IN MY FUTURE.

I CAN'T STAND IT!

I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU!

I KNOW HOW DAD'S LUCKY BELT

GOT UNDER YOUR BED.

WE BOTH KNOW, HELGA.

YOU PUT IT THERE TO MAKE TROUBLE FOR ME.

I HAD TO-- YOU WERE MAKING ME MISERABLE!

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT YOU DID.

AND YOU MUST FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.

WHAT CONSEQUENCES?

I GOT AWAY WITH IT, DIDN'T I?

YOU'RE SUCH AN ANGRY GIRL, HELGA.

AND YOU WON'T LET ANYONE HELP YOU.

SO YOU MUST LIVE WITH YOUR UNHAPPINESS.

Bob: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THE TV'S BROKE?

I GOT TO WATCH MY NEW BEEPER COMMERCIAL, MIRIAM!

WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS HOUSE?!

EVERYTHING'S ALWAYS GOING WRONG

AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME!

"DEAR HELGA, IT IS WONDERFUL TO BE BACK IN THE ALPS.

I TRUST EVERYTHING IN YOUR HOUSE IS THE SAME AS ALWAYS."

( Bob continues yelling )

"INGE."
