( ship's horn blowing )

Woman ( on loudspeaker ): As your mayor, I hereby declare this replica of the Mayflower

a city landmark.

Long may she sail!

( horn toots )

( crowd cheering, whistling... )

( piano playing anxious tune )

LAND HO!

AND SO, IN 1620, THE BRAVE PILGRIMS

REACHED THE NEW WORLD WHEN THEY LANDED

AT PLYMOUTH ROCK.

( screaming )

( laughing )

IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

REMEMBER HOW WE DID THIS IN REHEARSAL?

PLACES, EVERYONE!

IN THE FIRST WINTER AT PLYMOUTH ROCK

THE PILGRIMS, COLD, HUNGRY, AND FEELING VERY ALONE

ON THIS NEW CONTINENT, PAID A VISIT

TO THE NATIVE AMERICAN VILLAGE.

WINTER COMES, OUR FOOD RUNS SHORT.

THE DAYS ARE COLD AND DAMP.

WELL, YOU'RE IN LUCK.

WE'VE LOTS TO EAT.

COME JOIN US AT OUR CAMP.

( laughing )

I PRAY THAT WE'LL LIVE SIDE BY SIDE

IN PEACE FOR MANY, MANY DAYS.

NOW COME, PARTAKE OF PUMPKIN SEEDS

MUSHED-UP CRANBERRIES, AND THIS YUMMY CORN MAIZE.

WHERE'S THE CORN MAIZE?

I WAS HUNGRY!

( laughing )

STAY FROSTY.

AND I-- AND SO, IT, IT WAS DECIDED

THAT EUROPEAN AND NATIVE AMERICAN ALIKE

WOULD GATHER TOGETHER

AND CELEBRATE THE VERY FIRST THANKSGIVING.

THANKSGIVING-- TURKEY, STUFFING.

MMM-MMM-MMM... PIE.

BELCHING CONTESTS WITH MY BROTHER.

I LOVE IT.

THAT MAKES ONE OF US.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WELL, LET ME TELL YOU, AT MY HOUSE

THANKSGIVING IS ALWAYS A DISASTER.

GRANDMA'S CONFUSED AND THINKS IT'S THE FOURTH OF JULY

SO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO GO UP ON THE ROOF

AND BARBECUE HOT DOGS.

THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THANKSGIVING.

I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER HAD A REAL THANKSGIVING.

Girl: ...WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

Stinky: LIKE FINDING OUR FRIENDLY FACES

ON THIS FAR AND DISTANT SHORE.

AND SHARING SCRUMPTIOUS, HOME-GROWN FOOD.

COME, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE SOME MORE?

( grunts )

( laughing )

OW. I'M OKAY.

( kids laughing, shouting )

( piano playing )

THANKSGIVING.

( snorts )

HOW I HATE IT.

EVERY YEAR IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME.

MIRIAM OVERCOOKS THE STUFFING.

BIG BOB SITS IN FRONT OF THE TV

LIKE A BLOATED MANATEE

BURPING AND GROANING

ABOUT HOW HE SHOULDN'T HAVE EATEN BURRITOS FOR BREAKFAST.

HELGA?

AND OLGA.

FLITS AROUND THE HOUSE

LIKE SOME KIND OF ANNOYING FAIRY PRINCESS

COMMANDING ME TO HELP HER PREPARE DINNER.

UH, HELGA?

MEANWHILE I'M RUNNING AROUND

LIKE A LITTLE SERVANT GIRL.

"HELGA, GET ME THIS, GET ME THAT."

SOME HOLIDAY!

HELGA.

WHAT IS IT?

YOU'RE ON.

HUH?

YOU'RE ON.

HUH?

PLACES, PEOPLE.

NOW, PEOPLE...

THIS IS OUR LAST SCENE

AND I WOULD LIKE YOU TO PLEASE GET IT RIGHT.

NOW, I'M COUNTING ON YOU.

AND NOW, OUR PAGEANT COMES TO THE MODERN THANKSGIVING.

LET'S PEEK IN, SHALL WE

ON A PERFECT THANKSGIVING FAMILY GATHERING.

YEAH, RIGHT.

I'M SO THANKFUL

THAT WE'RE ALL HERE TOGETHER.

PETER, JOY, ROBERT, AND DEAR UNCLE CHUCK.

BOY, SO AM I, MOM.

HOW'S IT GOING AT YOUR JOB?

BETTER THAN EVER.

I'VE BEEN PROMOTED.

YOU'RE LOOKING FABULOUS, MRS. SIMON.

HAVE YOU LOST WEIGHT?

OH, PETER, HOW SWEET OF YOU TO NOTICE.

CAN WE EAT NOW?

( laughing )

WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL WE ALL SAY

WHAT WE'RE THANKFUL FOR.

OH, I'M THANKFUL THAT I HAD AN EARLY LUNCH

SO I CAN EAT MORE OF THIS TURKEY.

UNCLE CHUCK, YOU ARE IRREPRESSIBLE.

AND I AM THANKFUL FOR THAT.

AND I'M THANKFUL THAT YOU MADE

THIS EXQUISITE HOLIDAY MEAL, MRS. SIMON.

AND ME, I'M JUST SO DARN THANKFUL

FOR THIS WONDERFUL, EXCITINGLY DIVERSE...

...FAMILY GATHERING WE HAVE EVERY YEAR.

All: HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

NOW CAN WE EAT?

YES, UNCLE CHUCK.

NOW WE CAN EAT.

( cheering, applause )

THAT WAS WONDERFUL.

WASN'T THAT WONDERFUL, PEOPLE?

EVERYONE, COME ON OUT.

TAKE A BOW.

( applause )

I WANT ALL OF YOU TO KNOW

HOW SPECIAL THIS PRESENTATION WAS TO ME--

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TRUE MEANING OF THANKSGIVING

BEING THANKFUL FOR WHATEVER YOU HAVE.

I HOPE YOU ALL WILL TAKE THIS MESSAGE HOME

AND TRY TO MAKE THIS THE BEST DARN THANKSGIVING EVER.

( bell ringing )

SCHOOL'S OUT!

ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY, EVERYONE.

( cheering )

( sniffing )

WHAT'S BURNING, MIRIAM?

YOU KNOW, I THINK I OVERCOOKED THE STUFFING, BEEP.

NOW HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?"

YOU DO IT EVERY THANKSGIVING.

( belches ) OH, MAN.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD ALL THOSE BURRITOS FOR BREAKFAST.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, DAD.

YEAH, YOU BET YOUR PATOOT IT IS.

AND YOU KNOW WHY IT IS?

BECAUSE WE ALL GET TO BE TOGETHER

AND BE THANKFUL FOR ALL THE GOOD THINGS IN OUR LIVES?

HUH?

OH, YEAH, RIGHT.

BUT MAINLY BECAUSE

I GOT 14 STRAIGHT HOURS OF BONE-CRUNCHING FOOTBALL ON THE BOOB TUBE

STARTING RIGHT NOW.

Grandpa: EVERYBODY...

IT'S THANKSGIVING.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, EVERYBODY!

YES, YES.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY, POOKY.

OKAY, LET'S GET STARTED.

MR. HYUNH AND GRANDMA

ARE IN CHARGE OF THE GRILL, COOKING HOT DOGS.

OSCAR, SUZIE AND ERNIE: DECORATIONS

AND SETTING THE TABLE.

TWO THINGS, THAT'S NO FAIR!

SHUT YOUR PIE-HOLE.

LET THE OLD MAN TALK.

ARNOLD AND I WILL MAKE THE FLAG DESSERTS

AND GRANDMA WILL LIGHT OFF

HER TRADITIONAL FIREWORKS DISPLAY.

ANY QUESTIONS?

HOW ABOUT IF WE MADE TURKEY

AND STUFFING AND PUMPKIN PIE THIS YEAR?

WE DON'T GET THAT TILL THE FOURTH OF JULY

WHEN YOUR GRANDMA THINKS IT'S CHRISTMAS.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

( glass shatters )

LOOK, MOM, I MADE A CENTERPIECE

FOR OUR THANKSGIVING TABLE.

OH, YEAH, GREAT, HONEY.

UH, YOU CAN PUT IT RIGHT NEXT TO, UM, YOUR SISTER'S.

OLGA.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

IS EVERYONE READY TO HELP ME MAKE THE THANKSGIVING DINNER?

I WAS...

YOU CAN HELP ME FOLD NAPKINS.

DADDY, YOU HAVE ONIONS TO CHOP AND MUSHROOMS TO STUFF!

AND HELGA, MY BABY SISTER

YOU'RE MY MOST IMPORTANT HELPER OF ALL.

( laughs )

( squeals, oinks )

THE GRILL IS CLEAN AND READY FOR FIRING, CORNWALLIS?

CLEAN AND READY.

THEN FIRE IT UP, GENERAL.

♪ AND THE ROCKETS' RED GLARE ♪

( whooshing )

♪ THE BOMBS BURSTING IN AIR... ♪

WHAT A CRAZY HOLIDAY.

GRANDPA, WHY DO WE ALWAYS GO ALONG

WITH GRANDMA'S FOURTH OF JULY PLAN?

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE

TO JUST HAVE A REGULAR THANKSGIVING?

WELL, WE COULD, BUT THEN WE'D BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

WHAT FUN WOULD THAT BE?

( laughter, arguing )

( car door closes, engine starts )

( sniffles )

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, OLGA

HOW MANY MORE OF THESE DO I HAVE TO CHOP?

JUST A FEW MORE, DADDY.

WHEW.

OH, GOODY; THE POTATOES.

YOU'RE AN ANGEL, HELGA.

OH, YEAH, I'M A REGULAR CHERUB.

WHAT'S NEXT?

I JUST NEED YOU TO WASH THEM AND THEN PEEL THEM

AND THEN MAYBE WASH THEM AGAIN...

YOU HAVE DIRTY LITTLE HANDS.

JUST A DARN MINUTE, MARY SUNSHINE.

I'VE GOT OTHER THINGS TO DO TODAY.

DARN RIGHT. I NEED YOU TO STUFF BEEPERS INTO CORNUCOPIAS

FOR MY THREE-DAY SALE THIS WEEKEND.

YOU CAN DO IT WHEN YOU FINISH ALL THIS OLGA STUFF.

"HELGA, DO THIS, HELGA, DO THAT."

NOBODY CARES WHAT I WANT TO DO.

SOME HOLIDAY.

( knocking )

Grandma: I SAY, MR. FRANKLIN

YOU GOT YOUR COSTUME ON YET?

IN A MINUTE, GRANDMA.

JUST ONCE I'D LIKE TO HAVE A NORMAL, REGULAR THANKSGIVING

LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

( doorbell rings )

Grandpa: HEY, ARNOLD!

WOULD YOU GET THE DOOR?

( ringing )

IS ARNOLD HOME?

I ATE ALL THE MARSHMALLOWS

AND MY MOM SENT ME OVER TO BORROW SOME MORE.

UH, HAROLD, IT'S ME, ARNOLD.

ARNOLD?

YOU LOOK LIKE A LITTLE BALD-HEADED LADY

WITH LITTLE, LITTLE RECTANGLE GLASSES!

( laughing )

HAROLD, I'D PREFER IF YOU DIDN'T TELL ANYONE

THAT YOU SAW ME LIKE THIS.

( laughing )

ARNOLD DRESSED UP FOR THANKSGIVING

LIKE A BALD-HEADED LADY WITH LITTLE RECTANGLE GLASSES!

( laughing )

Grandpa: ARNOLD, COME ON UP.

WE'RE ABOUT TO REENACT

THE SIGNING OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

Grandma: BRING YOUR QUILL PEN, MR. FRANKLIN.

I GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

MAYBE I'D BE BETTER OFF BY MYSELF THIS THANKSGIVING.

TIME TO GO AROUND THE TABLE

AND SAY WHAT YOU'RE THANKFUL FOR.

YOU START, OLGA.

I'M THANKFUL FOR THIS INCREDIBLE SEVEN-COURSE DINNER

I CREATED FROM SCRATCH AS MY THANKSGIVING GIFT

TO ALL OF YOU, MY FAMILY.

WELL, I'M THANKFUL FOR THE BEEPER EMPIRE

I STARTED FROM THE GROUND UP

THAT PUT THIS FANTASTIC SPREAD ON THE TABLE.

OKAY, MIRIAM, IT'S YOUR TURN.

MIRIAM!

HUH?

MIRIAM!

HUH?

OH, WHA-- CRANBERRIES.

YOU GOT A LITTLE DROOL.

WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR, MIRIAM?

I'M THANKFUL FOR...

THIS BEAUTIFUL CENTERPIECE

THAT OLGA MADE.

CRIMINY.

OKAY, IS THAT IT?

GOOD. LET'S EAT.

NO, NO, NO, DADDY.

HELGA HASN'T SAID WHAT SHE'S THANKFUL FOR.

OH, YEAH.

WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR?

AND MAKE IT SNAPPY; I'M STARVING.

I AM THANKFUL FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

HONEY, YOU GOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR SOMETHING.

NO, MOM, I'M NOT.

MAYBE HELGA NEEDS A MINUTE TO THINK OF SOMETHING.

NOPE. MY MIND'S A BLANK.

CAN'T THINK OF A THING.

WELL, I'M GIVING YOU TILL THE COUNT OF THREE

TO THINK OF SOMETHING.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

ALL RIGHT THEN, LITTLE LADY.

YOU CAN JUST PARK YOUR FANNY UPSTAIRS IN YOUR ROOM

TILL YOU CAN THINK OF SOMETHING YOU'RE THANKFUL FOR.

FINE!

( both gasp )

GEEZ.

PASS THE STUFFING.

GO TO MY ROOM, FAT CHANCE.

MAYBE I'D BE BETTER OFF BY MYSELF THIS THANKSGIVING.

( sighs )

I WONDER WHAT ARNOLD'S DOING RIGHT NOW.

HE'S PROBABLY HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME

EATING A FABULOUS HOT TURKEY DINNER

SURROUNDED BY HIS ADORING GRANDMA AND GRANDPA

AND ALL THOSE LOVABLE, ECCENTRIC BOARDERS.

ARNOLD, IF I HAVE ANYTHING AT ALL TO BE THANKFUL FOR

IT'S THAT YOU EXIST IN MY MISERABLE LITTLE SPHERE.

OH, ARNOLD... ARNOLD.

Arnold: HELGA?

ARNOLD?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

STOP CREEPING UP ON ME, YOU LITTLE CREEP!

SORRY.

WHY AREN'T YOU AT HOME

ENJOYING THE HOLIDAY

WITH YOUR ECCENTRIC

BUT OH-SO-LOVABLE BOARDING HOUSE FAMILY?

IT WAS ALL GETTING A LITTLE WEIRD, SO I LEFT.

JOIN THE CLUB, FOOTBALL HEAD.

THINGS WERE EVEN WORSE AT MY HOUSE.

GET A LOAD OF THIS...

( bells clanging )

( gulls cawing )

Helga: AND THEN BOB SAYS

"I'M GIVING YOU TO THE COUNT OF THREE TO TELL ME

WHAT YOU'RE THANKFUL FOR."

OH, YEAH, THAT'LL WORK, DAD.

I'M REALLY THANKFUL NOW.

SOME THANKSGIVING.

MAYBE WE SHOULD AT LEAST TRY TO BE OPTIMISTIC.

MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

WHAT BRIGHT SIDE, FOOTBALL HEAD?

WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL VIEW.

KEEP TRYING, ARNOLD.

THERE'S NO SCHOOL TODAY.

SKIP ON DOWN.

HEY, LOOK. IT'S THE MAYFLOWER REPLICA

THE SYMBOL OF THE PILGRIMS AND THE FIRST THANKSGIVING.

IT MUST BE SOME KIND OF SIGN.

MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

( screaming )

YEAH, IT'S A SIGN, ALL RIGHT.

IT'S A SIGN THAT THIS IS POSSIBLY

THE WORST THANKSGIVING EVER.

Hold steady!

Stay on the boat!

OH, BROTHER.

THANKSGIVING ISN'T GOING

SO HOT THIS YEAR.

WHAT THANKSGIVING?

YOU MEAN THIS?

WHERE'S THANKSGIVING, ARNOLD?

I DON'T SEE IT.

I'VE NEVER HAD A REAL ONE.

YOU'VE NEVER HAD A REAL ONE.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW WHAT I KEEP THINKING?

WHAT, THAT WE SHOULD LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE?

THAT EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING?

NO, I KEEP THINKING ABOUT

MR. SIMMONS'S THANKSGIVING PLAY.

YEAH. WHAT A CROCK.

BUT IT WAS THE PERFECT THANKSGIVING.

THEY HAD A BEAUTIFUL MEAL, EVERYBODY GOT ALONG.

THEY WERE ALL JUST THANKFUL TO BE TOGETHER.

YOU'RE RIGHT, ARNOLD-- EXCEPT FOR JUST ONE THING.

THAT WAS A PLAY!

IT WASN'T REAL LIFE.

THIS IS REAL LIFE.

LISTEN, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS.

IF ANYONE WOULD BE HAVING A GOOD THANKSGIVING

AT THEIR HOUSE, MR. SIMMONS WOULD.

HE'S SUCH A NICE GUY.

WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

LET'S GO VISIT MR. SIMMONS.

WHAT A STUPID IDEA. OKAY.

Helga: THEY ALL LOOK SO HAPPY

AND NORMAL.

SEE? I TOLD YOU.

HE'S HAVING A PERFECT THANKSGIVING IN THERE.

WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?

I'M STARVING.

WONDERFUL! I'LL MAKE YOU ALL A COPY.

( doorbell rings )

NOW, WHO CAN THAT BE?

HELGA? ARNOLD.

WHAT A, WHAT A SURPRISE.

HI, MR. SIMMONS.

WE DON'T WANT TO

BOTHER YOU OR ANYTHING

BUT THE REASON...

BOTH OUR THANKSGIVINGS REALLY BLEW

AND WE WANTED TO CRASH YOURS.

OH. OF COURSE YOU CAN JOIN ME.

YOUR BEING HERE

WILL MAKE MY THANKSGIVING EVEN MORE SPECIAL.

COME IN.

COME IN.

EVERYONE, SURPRISE GUESTS.

THESE ARE TWO STUDENTS FROM MY CLASS

HELGA AND ARNOLD.

Both: HI.

THIS IS MY MOTHER, PEARL...

AND MY FRIENDS PETER AND JOY...

AND THIS, OF COURSE

IS MY UNCLE CHUCK.

IT'S THE SAME NAMES AS THE PEOPLE IN HIS PLAY.

I KNOW.

I DIDN'T KNOW PETER WAS COMING.

THERE'S A LOT

YOU DON'T KNOW.

HMM! DEAR, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE JOY

TO THE BALLET SATURDAY?

OH, I LOVE THE BALLET!

( clears throat )

BUT I, I THINK

I'M BUSY SATURDAY.

( grunting )

HOW'S YOUR JOB

AT THE LIBRARY, JOY?

I GOT FIRED YESTERDAY.

THERE'S A SURPRISE.

WELL, THAT'S, UH, TOO BAD

BUT I-I'M SURE YOU'LL FIND A NEW AND EVEN MORE SPECIAL JOB.

I DOUBT IT.

THEY'RE NOT ACTING

LIKE THE PEOPLE IN HIS PLAY.

I KNOW.

HOW'S THAT GREAT NEW CAR OF YOURS?

IT WAS STOLEN.

AGAIN?

YOU CAN'T SEEM TO HOLD ON TO ANYTHING.

LEAVE THE POOR GIRL ALONE.

YOU'RE ALWAYS SNIPING.

HAVE SOME MORE STUFFING, PEARL.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT, SPARKY?

OH, NOTHING.

( grunting... )

Chuck: YOU GOING TO FINISH THAT?

Simmons: HEY, I KNOW!

IT'S TIME TO ALL HOLD HANDS

AND THINK ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

OH, PLEASE. MUST WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR?

YOU KNOW IT EMBARRASSES ME.

YOUR OPINION DOESN'T MATTER.

SORRY, YOU MISTAKE ME

FOR SOMEONE WHO CARES...

( arguing )

( choking )

MY WORD, SHE'S CHOKING.

OH, GOOD. DINNER AND A SHOW.

Pearl: NOW SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE!

OW! SHE DID THAT ON PURPOSE.

AH, STOP WHINING.

WHO ASKED YOU?!

PLEASE, PLEASE, EVERYONE

IT'S THANKSGIVING.

I WORKED SO HARD ON THIS MEAL.

PLEASE, LET'S... ENJOY IT.

YEAH, GOOD IDEA. LET'S EAT, EH?

HELGA, COULD I, UH, SEE YOU IN THE KITCHEN?

( hushed ): MAN, WHAT A NIGHTMARE.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THE WAY THEY'RE GOING AT IT?

IT'S WORSE THAN MY FAMILY.

WORSE THAN BOTH OUR FAMILIES.

YEAH. SIMMONS KNOCKS HIMSELF OUT MAKING THIS MEAL

THEN THEY SIT AROUND

AND CAN'T EVEN PUT ASIDE

THEIR PETTY DIFFERENCES

AND BE THANKFUL, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

THEY WOULDN'T EVEN GO ALONG

WITH HIS STUPID TRADITION

'CAUSE THEY'RE TOO EMBARRASSED

EVEN THOUGH IT MEANS SO MUCH TO HIM.

HITS A LITTLE CLOSE TO HOME, HUH?

YEAH. I GUESS I COULD

HAVE GONE ALONG WITH GRANDMA'S FOURTH OF JULY.

IT'S NOT THAT BAD, REALLY.

I GUESS IF SIMMONS CAN PUT UP

WITH HIS LAME EXCUSE FOR A FAMILY

WE CAN PUT UP WITH OURS.

THEY'RE QUITE A SPIRITED BUNCH, AREN'T THEY?

THEY SEEMED

REALLY NICE.

YOU KNOW, ARNOLD

THE WAY YOU ALWAYS LOOK ON

THE BRIGHT SIDE IS VERY SPECIAL.

( dishes breaking )

( Chuck exclaiming )

OH, WHO AM I KIDDING?

IT'S AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER!

IT'S ALL GONE WRONG.

YOU PROBABLY NOTICED

THIS ISN'T THE PERFECT, WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING

I WROTE ABOUT FOR THE PAGEANT.

WELL, I KNOW THIS ISN'T PERFECT

BUT THOSE SPECIAL PEOPLE OUT THERE

ARE THE ONES I LOVE.

EVERY YEAR IT'S MY LITTLE PROJECT

TO GET THEM TOGETHER AND TRY TO MAKE US

ALL THANKFUL FOR WHAT WE'VE GOT.

MOTHER, COULD WE PLEASE KEEP IT DOWN?

Pearl: KEEP THIS DOWN.

THIS MAY NOT MAKE MUCH SENSE TO YOU

BUT I'M TRULY THANKFUL FOR WHAT I HAVE.

WE SHOULD PROBABLY GO, MR. SIMMONS.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

WHAT DID YOU BRING?

BRUSSELS SPROUTS!

( arguing continues )

SO, WANT TO GO BACK HOME

AND GIVE IT A TRY?

NOT REALLY, BUT IT'S GETTING DARK AND I'M STARVING.

ME, TOO.

LET'S GO.

Pearl: I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON YOUR...

( dog barking in distance )

YEAH, WELL, JUST LISTEN UP, MISTER.

I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE CAPTAIN.

MY LITTLE GIRL IS MISSING

AND I WANT THE WHOLE SQUAD

OUT LOOKING FOR HER!

I'M TAKING THE HUMMER

AND I'M NOT COMING BACK

TILL I FIND HELGA.

I FINISHED THE FLYERS.

( tearily ): I REALLY HOPE I'M NOT TOO LATE.

GREAT. THESE ARE GREAT.

GET THESE PLASTERED UP ALL OVER THE CITY.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

All: HELGA?

OH, YOU'RE SAFE!

IT'S A MIRACLE!

WE WERE WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU.

I'M FINE. EVERYTHING'S FINE.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M REALLY THANKFUL

THAT I HAVE A GREAT HOME

AND ALL OF YOU ARE HERE, AND...

OH, BABY SISTER, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HOME.

I WAS SO SCARED, AND NOW I'M JUST SO, I'M...

I'M JUST SO HAPPY.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, STOP SLOBBERING ON ME.

I WAS ONLY GONE A COUPLE OF HOURS.

Bob: WELL, THE MAIN THING

IS YOU'RE SAFE AND SOUND

AND SINCE IT'S THANKSGIVING

I GUESS THIS IS AS GOOD A TIME AS ANY

TO SAY THAT WE'RE

THANKFUL FOR YOU BEING OUR DAUGHTER

AND BEING AROUND THE HOUSE.

YES. WE'RE VERY THANKFUL, HONEY.

OKAY, EVERYONE

NOW, UH, LET'S, LET'S GO EAT.

WE GOT THE TUBE SET UP

SO I CAN SEE THE GAME FROM THE TABLE.

OOP, OOP, OOP!

( in singsong ): DON'T FORGET THE CENTERPIECE.

( Miriam laughing )

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, HELGA.

( wind gusting )

GRANDMA? I'M HOME!

( closes door )

( siren wails in distance )

( wind whistling )

WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

( gasps ) GRANDPA?

OH, IT'S YOU, ARNOLD.

WHERE IS EVERYBODY? WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL... AFTER YOU LEFT

IT ALL TURNED UGLY.

WHA, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THEY HEARD THAT YOU WERE OUT LOOKING FOR THANKSGIVING

SO THEY...

DECIDED TO THROW YOU A SURPRISE PARTY!

SURPRISE!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

( laughing, exclaiming )

BUT, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FOURTH OF JULY?

FOURTH OF JULY?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, ARNOLD?

AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT BEN FRANKLIN COSTUME?

IT'S THANKSGIVING. DIG IN.

THANKS, GRANDMA. THANKS A LOT.

BUT, COULD WE STILL HAVE FIREWORKS?

OH, ARNOLD

IT WOULDN'T BE THANKSGIVING WITHOUT FIREWORKS.

( laughing... )

( fireworks whistling )
