AHH. WANT TO TRADE SANDWICHES SIGHT-UNSEEN, DUDLEY?

SURE!

HEY, YOU SAID YES TOO FAST.

YOU TRYING TO SLIP SOME SOUR TUNA ON ME?

IT'S NOT TUNA, I SWEAR.

OH, OK, I'LL LIVE DANGEROUSLY.

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY.

I REALLY HATE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY.

THEN DON'T BOTHER TO UNWRAP THAT SANDWICH.

YOURS, TOO?

MIGHT AS WELL STICK TO OUR OWN GERMS.

MAN, I REALLY HATE THESE SANDWICHES.

ME, TOO.

YOU DON'T LIKE 'EM? WE'LL TAKE 'EM.

IT'S MY FAVORITE KIND OF SANDWICH. SOMEBODY ELSE'S.

HEY, GIVE THOSE BACK!

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

WE THINK WE'RE EATING YOUR LUNCH.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

NOTHING. I JUST ASKED.

UH-HUH.

ARNOLD, I THINK WE'D BETTER GET BACK TO CLASS.

YEAH, I'M BEGINNING TO MISS THE TEACHER.

HOLD IT, LITTLE HOMBRE.

LITTLE HOMBRE IS HOLDING.

WE, UH, WE HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED ABOUT

OUR LUNCH FOR TOMORROW, MY MAN.

YOU MEAN YOU'RE GONNA EAT OUR LUNCH AGAIN?

BY JORGE, HE'S GOT IT!

IF YOU THINK WE'RE GONNA LET YOU

EAT OUR LUNCH AGAIN, YOU'RE CRAZY!

OF COURSE, CRAZY PEOPLE GOTTA EAT, TOO.

SO, UH, WE'LL SEE YOU HERE AGAIN, THEN,

SAME TIME TOMORROW?

YES, SIR.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

AND, UH, NO MORE PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY, ALL RIGHT?

I'LL HAVE A BACON AND TOMATO ON WHOLE WHEAT

AND HOLD THE MAYO.

YOU CAN BRING ME A CORNED BEEF SWISS CHEESE ON RYE

WITH A KOSHER PICKLE.

I DON'T LIVE OVER A DELICATESSEN.

THEN MAYBE YOU OUGHTA MOVE.

HA! GOOD IDEA.

I WAS GETTING TIRED OF THAT PENTHOUSE ANYWAY.

BY THE WAY...

I WOULDN'T BOTHER TO MENTION THIS TO YOUR PARENTS.

YOU, UH, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, YEAH?

I HEAR YOU.

LOUD AND CLEAR.

I'M NOT GONNA SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, ARNOLD, ARE YOU?

NO WAY! I WANT TO GROW UP

TO BE 6 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND, NOT UNDER IT.

AND WE JUST ADD A LITTLE MORE PARMESAN CHEESE,

AND VOILÀ. IT'S FINISHED, WILLIS.

DAD, YOU KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE SUCH A GOOD COOK.

THAT LOOKS TERRIFIC.

WORDS ARE CHEAP.

LEAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING UNDER THE PLATE.

OH, GEE, DAD, THAT DOES LOOK GOOD.

MM. IT'S A WORK OF ART.

THANKS.

HAS ANYONE EVER SIGNED A LASAGNA?

DAD, YOU WON'T HAVE TO SIGN IT.

YOU'LL BE REMEMBERED BY YOUR GARLIC.

OUR ADVERTISING MOTTO WILL BE "SLURP AND BURP."

HI, EVERYBODY!

HI, ARNOLD! HEY, ARNOLD!

DAD! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME SO EARLY?

DAD'S COOKING DINNER TONIGHT.

I MADE A TREAT FOR YOU GUYS. MY SPECIAL LASAGNA.

GREAT! I'M STARVED! CAN I HAVE SOME?

OH, IT'S NOT COOKED YET.

RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST COLD, RAW, STICKY DOUGH.

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

ARNOLD, DINNER WILL BE SERVED AT THE REGULAR TIME.

PUT YOUR STOMACH ON HOLD.

YOU WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A 10-YEAR-OLD

FAINTING AT THE FOOT OF HIS OWN REFRIGERATOR?

ARNOLD, WE PACKED YOU A HUGE LUNCH TODAY.

UM, WELL, IT WAS EATEN.

BUT I STILL FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T HAD ANY LUNCH,

AND, UH, I'M A GROWING BOY.

YEAH, BUT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GROW THIS WAY,

NOT THIS WAY. HA HA HA!

I ONLY WANT A LITTLE AFTERNOON SNACK.

ARNOLD, THAT LOOKS LIKE A SNACK FOR ORSON WELLES.

PUT THAT BACK. I MADE 3 POUNDS OF LASAGNA.

GOOD! WHAT ARE THE REST OF YOU GONNA HAVE?

ARNOLD, I THINK YOU'VE GOT A TAPEWORM.

TCH. NO, I THINK HE'S GOT A TAPESNAKE.

WELL, ARNOLD, I GUESS WE BETTER PACK YOU A BIGGER LUNCH TOMORROW.

OH! SPEAKING OF LUNCH, WHATEVER I WAS GONNA GET,

COULD I PLEASE HAVE A, UH, A, UH...

CORNED BEEF WITH SWISS CHEESE ON RYE?

SINCE WHEN DO YOU LIKE DELI FOOD?

YOU KIDDING? AT SCHOOL THEY CALL ME "CAPTAIN CORNED BEEF."

OH! I ALMOST FORGOT.

PLEASE PUT IN A KOSHER PICKLE.

I THINK THE KID'S PREGNANT.

YOU KNOW, DADDY, HE'S BEEN ACTING REALLY WEIRD LATELY.

I MEAN, MORE THAN USUAL.

I'VE SEEN HIM HUNGRY BEFORE,

BUT NEVER THIS HUNGRY.

WILLIS, WHEN HE WAS A BABY,

I BET THEY DIDN'T GIVE HIM A BOTTLE.

I BET THEY SET HIM IN FRONT OF THE REFRIGERATOR

AND SAID "GO, MAN, GO."

SOMETHING STRANGE GOING ON.

HE HAS A VERY STRANGE LOOK ON HIS FACE.

WILLIS, WHY DON'T YOU GO UP AND SEE IF YOU CAN FIND OUT

WHAT MIGHT BE BOTHERING HIM?

YOU KNOW, ASK A FEW SUBTLE QUESTIONS.

SURE, DAD.

CLOSE YOUR EYES, ABRAHAM. I'M OPENING MY SAFE.

HI.

WILLIS! CAN'T A MAN HAVE ANY PRIVACY?!

TURN YOUR BACK. I'M OPENING MY SAFE.

IS THIS A DEPOSIT OR A WITHDRAWAL?

WHAT ARE YOU, THE IRS?

I'M JUST ASKING.

YOU KNOW, YOU SEEM KIND OF JUMPY.

WHAT HAPPENED AT SCHOOL TODAY?

AND WHY ARE YOU TAKING MONEY OUT OF YOUR SAFE?

UM, UM, IT'S JUST GOOD TO HAVE A COUPLE OF BUCKS IN YOUR POCKET

JUST IN CASE THE COPS STOP YOU FOR VAGRANCY.

ARNOLD, DON'T JIVE ME.

JUST BECAUSE I'M BEAUTIFUL DOESN'T MEAN I'M DUMB.

COME ON, I JUST WANT TO ASK YOU ONE QUESTION.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH THAT MONEY?

I'M GONNA BUY MY LUNCH AT THE CAFETERIA.

CAFETERIA?

ARNOLD, ADELAIDE PACKS YOU A GOOD LUNCH EVERY DAY.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BUY LUNCH?

YOU USED UP YOUR ONE QUESTION.

WAIT A MINUTE, ARNOLD.

YOU HATE THE CAFETERIA. NOW START TALKING.

YOU SAID YOU'D NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN

AFTER THE DAY THE RICE WALKED ACROSS YOUR PLATE.

IT WASN'T RICE. IT WAS BEANS.

AND ONLY THREE OF THEM WALKED.

WELL, ANYWAY, WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BUY LUNCH?

DON'T PRESS ME, WILLIS. I PROMISED I WOULDN'T TELL.

OK, IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT IT, NO MORE QUESTIONS.

WILLIS! DON'T YOU CARE IF THEY BEAT ME UP?!

WHAT?

AND SMASH MY LIPS AND CRUSH MY FACE

AND LEAVE ME LYING THERE BLOODY PULP

WITH CAULIFLOWERS IN MY EARS

AND NOT A PARAMEDIC IN SIGHT?

ARNOLD,

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WHO'S GONNA BEAT YOU UP?

2 OLDER GUYS CAME INTO OUR SCHOOL TODAY

AND TOOK MY LUNCH AND DUDLEY'S, TOO.

AND THEY'RE COMING AGAIN TOMORROW!

WELL, HOW OLD ARE THEY?

WELL, A LITTLE OLDER THAN YOU.

A COUPLE OF HIGH SCHOOL KIDS.

WHO ARE TRYING TO GET A SCHOLARSHIP TO SAN QUENTIN.

YEAH, I KNOW THAT TYPE.

THEY'RE TOO CHICKEN TO PICK ON SOMEBODY THEIR OWN SIZE.

MAYBE WE OUGHT TO TELL DAD.

NO, ARNOLD. I'LL HANDLE THIS MYSELF.

I'M GOING TO COME TO YOUR SCHOOL

AND TAKE CARE OF THOSE GUYS.

BUT THERE'S TWO OF THEM,

AND ONE OF THEM'S REAL MEAN,

AND HE LOOKS LIKE THIS.

AND HE'S THE GOOD-LOOKING ONE.

I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.

LISTEN, I LOVE YOU, AND NOBODY'S GOING TO PICK ON YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO, WILLIS,

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE...

WITH YOUR NOSE IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR FACE.

YEAH, AND THAT'S WHERE MY NOSE IF GOING TO STAY.

YOU KNOW, LIKE MUHAMMAD ALI SAID...

WITH MY SPEED AND MY GRACE,

NOBODY'S GOING TO TOUCH MY PRETTY FACE.

WILLIS, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET IN ANY FIGHT.

LISTEN, THIS IS SERIOUS. I'M GOING TO TELL DAD.

TELL DAD WHAT?

THESE TWO BIG GUYS CAME TO OUR SCHOOL TODAY

AND TOOK MY LUNCH AND DUDLEY'S, TOO.

AND THEY'RE GONNA DO IT AGAIN TOMORROW.

OH, SO THAT'S WHY YOU WERE SO HUNGRY.

THOSE PUNKS! YOU'RE NOT EVEN SAFE IN YOUR OWN SCHOOL.

DON'T WORRY, DAD. I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT.

SO DO I.

BUT, DAD, YOU...

NO, YOU JUST STAY OUT OF THIS. I'LL HANDLE IT.

DAD, I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET IN ANY FIGHT.

YOU'RE TOO OLD AND FLABBY.

ARNOLD, THERE ISN'T GOING TO BE ANY FIGHT.

I'M GONNA CALL YOUR PRINCIPAL.

THAT IS, IF MY FLAB ISN'T TOO WEAK TO PICK UP THE PHONE.

GEE, ARNOLD,

I'M NOT SURE YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOUR DAD.

WHY NOT? I'M NOT AFRAID OF THEM PUNKS!

MAN, YOU'RE BRAVE. YOU MUST BE A LOT TALLER

ON THE INSIDE THAN YOU ARE ON THE OUTSIDE.

DUDLEY, THERE'S NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF.

THE PRINCIPAL TOLD DAD THAT HE KNOWS WHO THEY ARE

AND THAT HE'D TAKE CARE OF THEM.

AND IF THEY DID SHOW UP AGAIN, THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH US.

THEY'RE CHICKEN!

ARNOLD!

BULLIES LIKE THAT HAVEN'T GOT ANY GUTS, DUDLEY.

YOU HAVING A FIT OR SOMETHING?

SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR NECK?

YEAH. I DON'T WANT IT TO GET BROKEN.

LOOKS LIKE YOUR FRIEND DOES, DUDLEY.

HI, GUYS. WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT YOU.

YEAH. WE HEARD.

YOU KNOW, GUYS, IT'S, UH,

IT'S NOT NICE TO CALL A GUY A BULLY.

BULLY? ME?

YOU DIDN'T HEAR ME SAY THAT, DID YOU, DUDLEY?

NO. AND I DIDN'T HEAR YOU CALL HIM CHICKEN, EITHER.

THANKS, DUDLEY.

IT WASN'T NICE OF YOU TO TELL YOUR FATHER, KID.

AFTER YOUR FATHER CALLED THE PRINCIPAL,

THE PRINCIPAL CALLED MY FATHER.

YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD WHAT MY FATHER CALLED ME.

ARE THESE THE SANDWICHES WE ORDERED?

MINE IS.

WHAT ABOUT YOURS, KID?

WE WERE OUT OF CORNED BEEF,

BUT WE'LL RUN RIGHT OVER AND GET YOU SOME.

WHOA.

YOU KNOW...

I THINK YOU GUYS GOT US ALL WRONG.

WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE YOUR SANDWICHES FOR NOTHING.

YEAH. YEAH, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MONEY FOR THE SANDWICHES.

THE MONEY? WELL, THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU.

HOW ABOUT 50 CENTS A SANDWICH, DUDLEY?

SOUNDS FAIR TO ME.

OH, NO, NO. THAT'S NOT ENOUGH.

HOW ABOUT $2.00 A SANDWICH?

2 WHOLE DOLLARS?! WHY, THAT'S VERY GENEROUS OF YOU!

NO, NO, KID. THAT'S VERY GENEROUS OF YOU.

YOU SEE, THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA PAY US TO EAT 'EM.

WHAT YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, MISTER?

ARE YOU SAYING WE GOT TO BRING YOU SANDWICHES EVERY DAY

AND PAY YOU 2 BUCKS APIECE FOR EATING THEM?

YOU CATCH ON QUICK.

WHY SHOULD WE PAY YOU?

'CAUSE YOU SHOT YOUR MOUTH OFF, KID,

AND YOU DO IT AGAIN, IT'S GONNA COST YOU A LOT MORE THAN 2 BUCKS.

HOW MUCH MORE?

WHO KNOWS? HOSPITALS CHARGE A LOT

TO PUT A BODY BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

SEE YOU TOMORROW, EH?

MAN, I'VE ONLY GOT 4 BUCKS.

I'M OK FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY,

BUT I GET BEATEN UP ON FRIDAY.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I'LL LOAN YOU 2 BUCKS,

YOU WON'T GET BEATEN UP UNTIL MONDAY.

AT LEAST THAT WAY, YOU'LL HAVE A NICE WEEKEND.

ARNOLD, YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LEND ME

2 BUCKS A DAY TILL I GRADUATE.

NO, I CAN'T.

ALL I GOT IS ABOUT $11 IN MY BANK.

YOU KNOW, DUDLEY, IF WE WANT TO STAY ALIVE,

WE'D BETTER STOP GOING TO SCHOOL.

WELL, HOW CAN WE? WHAT DO WE DO?

WHAT WILL WE DO?

I'VE GOT IT. WE'LL GO TO THE MOVIES INSTEAD!

I LIKE THAT.

BUT OUR FOLKS AREN'T GONNA LET US STAY OUT OF SCHOOL.

WE WON'T TELL THEM.

WE'LL PRETEND WE'RE STILL GOING.

BUT WHAT IF OUR PARENTS FIND OUT?

WELL, AT LEAST WE'LL SEE A LOT OF GOOD MOVIES.

MORNING, DUDLEY.

I'M READY TO MEET YOU FOR "SCHOOL." HA HA HA!

I'LL MEET YOU IN THE PARK

AND WE'LL DECIDE WHAT MOVIE WE'LL SEE TODAY.

BUT WE ALREADY SAW THAT.

OH, YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. THAT'S WHERE WE'LL GO.

THEIR HOT DOGS ARE BIGGER.

YEAH, DUDLEY, I DID ALL MY HOMEWORK FOR TODAY

SO I WAS ON A ROLL AND DID SOME FOR TOMORROW, TOO.

YEAH, I'LL MEET YOU IN CLASS.

ARNOLD, IT IS A REAL PLEASURE TO HEAR YOU

SO ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT SCHOOL.

SCHOOL'S A BREEZE.

IT'S LIKE I'M NOT EVEN THERE.

THAT IS THE KIND OF THING

THAT WARMS THE COCKLES OF A PARENT'S HEART.

WHICH IS GOOD, 'CAUSE I HATE GOING AROUND WITH COLD COCKLES.

I GUESS YOU FEEL BETTER NOW

'CAUSE THOSE BULLIES HAVEN'T BOTHERED YOU FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.

THAT'S IT, WILLIS.

YOU KNOW, DAD, I THINK YOU DID THE RIGHT THING

BY CALLING ARNOLD'S PRINCIPAL.

THAT'S A TERRIBLE THING,

RIPPING OFF LITTLE KIDS AT SCHOOL.

YEAH. IT'S LIKE A BAD MOVIE I SAW YESTERDAY.

ON TELEVISION, OF COURSE.

WELL, I GOT TO BE GETTING TO WORK.

WHO WANTS A RIDE TO SCHOOL?

I DO! ME, TOO, DAD.

I PASS.

DID I HEAR RIGHT?

ARNOLD, YOU'D TURN DOWN A RIDE TO SCHOOL?

WELL, UM, I'M TRYING TO CUT DOWN ON LIMOS.

I MEAN, THE GUYS AT SCHOOL WILL THINK

I'M ONE OF THOSE OBNOXIOUS RICH KIDS.

YOU ARE.

ARNOLD, AREN'T YOU THE ONE THAT'S ALWAYS SAID,

"IF YOU'VE GOT IT, FLAUNT IT"?

WELL, THAT WAS LAST YEAR

WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND UNCOUTH.

THAT'S RIGHT. NOW YOU ARE JUST LOADED WITH COUTH.

WELL, GOTTA GET TO THE PARK.

PARK? ISN'T THAT A LITTLE OUT OF THE WAY, ARNOLD?

OH, JUST A LITTLE.

BUT IT'S VERY EDUCATIONAL.

YOU LEARN ALL ABOUT MOTHER NATURE

FROM THE SQUIRRELS AND THE BUTTERFLIES

AND THE PEOPLE MAKING OUT ON BENCHES.

BYE.

BYE. BYE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I GET THE FEELING THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG.

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT, DAD?

WELL, HE SOUNDS A LITTLE BIT TOO HAPPY

ABOUT GOING TO SCHOOL.

I THINK HE'S JUST RELIEVED ABOUT THOSE BULLIES, DAD.

YEAH, BUT THERE'S A THEORY, YOU KNOW, THAT SAYS

IF ANYTHING CAN POSSIBLY GO WRONG, IT WILL.

OH, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL MURPHY'S LAW.

YEAH, I THINK MURPHY HAD ARNOLD IN MIND WHEN HE WROTE IT.

I DIG YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR, DAD.

WHY AM I WASTING MY TIME ADDING THIS UP IN MY HEAD?

WHY DON'T I JUST USE MY CALCULATOR?

BECAUSE, WILLIS, IT'S BETTER FOR YOUR MATH IF YOU DO IT YOURSELF.

YEAH, BUT IT'S BETTER FOR MY GRADE IF I USE MY CALCULATOR.

GOOD POINT.

HELLO?

NO, MR. DRUMMOND ISN'T HOME.

THIS IS HIS SON WILLIS. CAN I TAKE A MESSAGE?

HOW'S ARNOLD FEELING?

OH, WELL, UM, HE'S FEELING MUCH BETTER NOW.

AND YOU CAN EXPECT HIM BACK TO SCHOOL VERY SOON.

OK, BYE.

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

THAT WAS THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE AT ARNOLD'S SCHOOL.

HE'S BEEN CUTTING SCHOOL FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS.

WHAT?

SEE, THEY FIGURED HE WAS SICK,

SO THEY WERE CHECKING UP ON HIM.

WHY, THAT LITTLE STINKER.

WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE HE'S BEEN STAYING OUT?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT, YOU KNOW, DAD'S RIGHT.

THERE IS SOMETHING FUNNY GOING ON.

WELL, IF DAD FINDS OUT ABOUT THIS,

ARNOLD WON'T BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AGAIN TILL HE'S IN COLLEGE.

HEY, GUYS!

HI, ARNOLD.

HEY. HOW WAS SCHOOL TODAY?

AW, GREAT. MAN, THAT'S MY KIND OF SCHOOL.

REALLY? WHAT DID YOU DO IN CLASS TODAY?

OH, WE HAD A TEST THAT YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE.

TOUGH, HUH?

OH, KILLER.

WHAT SUBJECT WAS IT?

UM, HISTORY.

WHAT KIND OF QUESTIONS?

MAINLY ABOUT THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST.

OH, YOU MEAN LIKE,

WHEN DID THE CIVIL WAR START?

YEP, RIGHT!

AND WHAT YEAR DID THEY SIGN

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE?

YOU GOT IT!

AND, LIKE, WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN TO SCHOOL IN THE PAST 3 DAYS?

UH-OH.

WELL, ARNOLD?

UH... UH... UH...

THAT'S A LOT OF "UHs."

WELL, I'M IN A LOT OF TROUBLE.

HOW DID YOU FIND OUT? DID DUDLEY SQUEAL?

OH, YOU MEAN DUDLEY'S IN ON THIS, TOO?

DUDLEY WHO?

START SPILLING YOUR GUTS, ARNOLD.

NOW, WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING?

WELL... WE WENT TO THE MOVIES.

YOU WASTED YOUR TIME AT THE MOVIES FOR 3 DAYS?

WASTED?! WE SAW 14 CARTOONS!

ANYWAY, I DID SOME VERY EDUCATIONAL THINGS, TOO.

OH, SURE. SUCH AS?

WELL, I TOOK A FERRY AROUND THE STATUE OF LIBERTY.

I WENT TO THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART.

AND I WENT TO THE ZOO AND STUDIED ANIMAL BEHAVIOR.

AND WHEN KIMBERLEY LEAVES,

I'LL TELL YOU HOW SOME OF THEM BEHAVED.

YOU'VE STILL BEEN OUT OF SCHOOL FOR 3 DAYS, ARNOLD.

SO WHAT?

ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS A SELF-EDUCATED MAN.

QUIT STALLING, ARNOLD.

WHY HAVE YOU BEEN CUTTING SCHOOL?

WELL, I CAN'T TELL YOU. I'M AFRAID.

ARNOLD, HONEY, DOES IT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO

WITH THOSE 2 BULLIES WHO'VE BEEN THREATENING YOU AT YOUR SCHOOL?

WELL, I CAN'T TELL YOU, BUT YOU'RE GETTING WARM.

ARNOLD, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF.

NOW, COME ON. WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, THOSE 2 GUYS CAME BACK TODAY.

NOT ONLY DO ME AND DUDLEY HAVE TO BRING THEM SANDWICHES,

BUT NOW WE HAVE TO PAY THEM 2 BUCKS A DAY FOR EATING THEM.

THOSE CREEPS!

AND THEY SAID IF WE DON'T PAY THEM,

THEY'LL TURN US INTO HUMAN RUBIK'S CUBES!

GEEZ, YOU JUST WAIT TILL DAD HEARS ABOUT THIS!

WELL, DAD'S NOT GONNA HEAR ABOUT IT.

I'M GONNA HANDLE THIS.

DAD DID IT HIS WAY AND IT DIDN'T WORK,

NOW I'M GONNA DO IT MY WAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WILLIS?

ARNOLD'S GOING BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW.

OH, NO, I'M NOT!

YES, YOU ARE.

ARNOLD, YOU CAN'T KEEP RUNNING FROM TROUBLE.

WELL, I'LL RUN, AND YOU CAN GO TO SCHOOL FOR ME.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M GONNA DO.

I'M GONNA BE AT YOUR SCHOOL AT LUNCHTIME,

AND IF THOSE CLOWNS SHOW UP AGAIN,

I'M GONNA HAVE A FEW WORDS WITH THEM.

BUT, WILLIS, THERE'S 2 OF THEM AND ONLY ONE OF YOU.

THEY'RE GONNA USE YOUR SKULL FOR A BONGO DRUM.

WILLIS, YOU COULD GET HURT.

I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

WILLIS, I REALLY THINK WE OUGHT TO TELL DAD.

NO WAY. I DON'T WANT DAD TO KNOW ABOUT THIS.

WON'T HE GET A HINT

WHEN THEY CALL FROM THE MORGUE?

I DON'T KNOW IF WE SHOULD'VE COME TO SCHOOL, ARNOLD.

I'D FEEL A LOT SAFER IN TIMES SQUARE WITH ALL THE WEIRDOES.

DUDLEY, THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

WILLIS WILL BE HERE SOON TO PROTECT US.

HE'LL BE OUR BODYGUARD.

HE BETTER GET HERE RIGHT AWAY,

'CAUSE OUR BODIES NEED SOME FAST GUARDING.

MAYBE YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT TIMES SQUARE.

WELL, WELL, WELL, ROBERTO, LOOK WHO'S BACK IN TOWN.

THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE MISSING IN ACTION.

LET'S SEE, YOU GUYS WERE OUT 3 DAYS?

YOU OWE US 3 SANDWICHES AND 6 BUCKS APIECE.

AU CONTRAIRE, ROBERTO.

COUNTING TODAY, THAT'S 4 SANDWICHES AND $8.00.

HE'S BETTER AT NUMBERS THAN ME. HIS FATHER'S A BOOKIE.

HERE'S A SHORT BET.

WE'RE NOT PAYING YOU CLOWNS ANYTHING.

OHH!

THE NOISE POLLUTION MUST BE GETTING WORSE AROUND HERE.

IT SOUNDED TO ME LIKE HE SAID HE WASN'T PAYING US.

THAT'S RIGHT! WE'RE NOT PAYING YOU!

DID YOU HEAR THAT, TURKEY?!

ARNOLD, YOU NEVER SAID THIS WAS A SUICIDE PACT.

HEY, YOU PRETTY BRAVE, AMIGO. WHAT YOU BEEN SMOKIN'?

SMOKIN' CAN KILL YOU AND SO CAN MY BROTHER,

AND YOU BETTER BEAT IT BEFORE HE GETS HERE.

SO THAT'S IT, HUH? YOU GOT A BROTHER.

THAT'S RIGHT. HE'S TOUGH, HE'S MEAN,

AND HE'S GOT FISTS OF STEEL.

SURE, SURE, AND HE'S GOT A BLACK BELT IN KARATE, RIGHT?

NOT ANYMORE. NOW IT'S RED FROM ALL HIS VICTIMS' BLOOD.

ARNOLD, YOU GOT A BROTHER BESIDES WILLIS?

LISTEN, LITTLE SHRIMPS...

WHO YOU CALLING SHRIMP, CHUMP?

OH. THIS MUST BE BRUCE LEE.

LAY OFF MY BROTHER AND HIS FRIEND AND BEAT IT.

WHAT IF WE DON'T FEEL LIKE IT?

THEN YOU GOT A PROBLEM ON YOUR HANDS.

I THINK YOU'RE THE ONE WITH THE PROBLEM, MAN.

HI, HONEY.

I'M SORRY TO BE LATE. I GOT TIED UP AT THE OFFICE.

I SUPPOSE EVERYBODY'S STARVING.

WELL... NOT EXACTLY.

WELL, DON'T TELL ME ARNOLD ISN'T HUNGRY.

IT'S 6:30. BY THIS TIME,

HE'S PROBABLY EATEN THE FURNITURE.

WELL, HE HASN'T SAID ANYTHING.

THAT'S STRANGE. WHAT ABOUT WILLIS?

HE HASN'T SAID ANYTHING, EITHER.

YEAH? ARE YOU TELLING ME NEITHER OF THOSE GUYS...

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME?

DADDY, I DID SOMETHING DUMB.

WELL, DON'T DO SOMETHING DUMBER.

LEVEL WITH ME. WHAT IS IT?

WELL, YOU SEE, WE FOUND OUT

THAT ARNOLD'S BEEN CUTTING SCHOOL

BECAUSE THOSE TWO BULLIES ARE STILL ON HIS CASE.

SO YOU SEE, WILLIS...

DON'T TELL ME WILLIS WENT DOWN THERE TO DEAL WITH THEM?

OH, NO.

HELLO?

ARNOLD? WHERE ARE YOU?

I'M OVER AT THIS PLACE.

WHAT PLACE?

UH, WELL, IT'S SOME PLACE

WITH A LOT OF WALLS AND HALLS AND ROOMS.

ARNOLD, COULD YOU BE A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC?

WELL, FROM ALL THE DOCTORS AND NURSES WALKING AROUND,

I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT A HOSPITAL.

A HOSPITAL?

WHAT'S THE MATTER? ARE... ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M FINE. I'M JUST VISITING WILLIS.

WILLIS? WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?

WELL, THE DOCTOR'LL TELL YOU.

WELL, LET ME TALK TO HIM.

WELL, YOU CAN'T RIGHT NOW.

HE'S BUSY PUTTING STITCHES IN WILLIS.

STITCHES? WHAT HAPPENED TO WILLIS?
