LAST WEEK, ARNOLD AND HIS FRIEND DUDLEY

WERE CONFRONTED IN THE SCHOOLYARD AT LUNCH

BY TWO BULLIES.

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?

BECAUSE 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.

WHEN WILLIS HEARD ABOUT IT,

HE DECIDED TO CONFRONT THE BULLIES.

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.

HOSPITAL?

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

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

WILLIS? WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?

AND NOW FOR PART 2.

HEY! WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

HELLO!

WELCOME HOME, WILL...

OH. IT'S ONLY YOU, ARNOLD.

YOU MEAN "ONLY ME" ISN'T WORTH A CRUMMY CUPCAKE?

THANKS A LOT.

OH, ARNOLD, THIS ONE'S FOR WILLIS.

I THOUGHT IT WAS DAD BRINGING HIM HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL.

THEY'RE NOT HOME YET?

MAYBE THEY WOULDN'T RELEASE WILLIS

'CAUSE HE'S TOO SICK.

OH, ARNOLD, THEY ONLY HELD WILLIS THERE OVERNIGHT FOR OBSERVATION.

HE'S FINE. THAT'S WHY DADDY WENT TO PICK HIM UP.

BUT MAYBE THOSE BOYS BEAT HIM UP SO BAD,

HE HAD A RELAPSE.

HE COULD BE IN BRAIN SURGERY RIGHT NOW,

WITH A MACHINE POKING HIM THAT GOES...

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...

BOOOOOP.

OH, ARNOLD, STOP WORRYING.

THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.

YOU'VE GOT 2 BROTHERS.

I'VE ONLY GOT ONE.

HERE WE ARE.

WILLIS!

HI, WILLIS.

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

WE HAD TO STOP AT THE DRUGSTORE FOR TRANQUILIZERS.

YOU THAT SHOOK UP, WILLIS?

NOT HIM. ME.

I'M SORRY, DAD.

BUT IF IT HADN'T HAVE BEEN 2 OF THEM,

THEY WOULDN'T HAVE LAID A GLOVE ON ME.

OH, SURE. IN THE MEANTIME,

YOU'VE GOT A BADLY SPRAINED HAND,

BRUISED RIBS, 5 STITCHES IN YOUR HEAD.

WELL, AT LEAST THE STITCHES

WILL HOLD HIS BRAIN IN.

IT WASN'T THAT ONE-SIDED.

I GOT A COUPLE OF GOOD SHOTS IN MYSELF.

OH, TERRIFIC.

AT TODAY'S HOSPITAL PRICES,

THAT COST ME ABOUT $600 A SHOT.

THAT'S A REAL BUY.

LISTEN, I'M ONLY GONNA SAY IT ONE MORE TIME.

DON'T YOU EVER DO A DUMB THING LIKE THAT AGAIN.

YEAH, WILLIS. YOU REALLY COULD'VE GOTTEN HURT.

I'LL GET IT.

MR. DRUMMOND?

YES?

DETECTIVE SIMPSON. MAY I COME IN?

OH, YES, PLEASE, COME IN.

I JUST MISSED YOU AT THE HOSPITAL.

THEY CALLED IN AND GAVE US A COMPLETE REPORT ABOUT THAT FIGHT.

YOU MEAN EVERYBODY KNOWS I HID UNDER THE BENCH?

TOO BAD WILLIS WASN'T AS SMART AS YOU.

PLEASE. SIT DOWN, DETECTIVE SIMPSON.

THIS IS MY DAUGHTER KIMBERLY.

THESE ARE MY SONS, ARNOLD AND WILLIS.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE A BIG FAMILY MYSELF.

I'M FROM QUEENS, AND MY WIFE'S FROM BROOKLYN.

I HOPE YOU'RE GONNA TELL US

THAT THOSE 2 PUNKS ARE IN JAIL.

WELL, NOT YET.

BUT THEY COULD BE WITH A LITTLE COOPERATION FROM YOU PEOPLE.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE THEM?

SURE. THEY BOTH WERE A LITTLE BIGGER THAN ME,

AND ONE OF THEM HAS MY KNUCKLE PRINTS ON HIS JAW.

AND THEIR NAMES ARE EDDIE AND ROBERTO,

AND THEY BOTH SMELL OF KOSHER PICKLES.

WHY AREN'T CREEPS LIKE THAT IN JAIL?

WELL, FOR ONE THING, NOBODY WANTS TO GET INVOLVED.

WELL, MY SONS WILL TESTIFY.

SO WILL MY FRIEND DUDLEY.

HE WAS UNDER THE BENCH WITH ME.

THAT MIGHT GET US AN ASSAULT CHARGE AGAINST THEM,

BUT DON'T FORGET,

YOUR SON WENT DOWN THERE LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.

AND HE FOUND IT.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO GET THEM

FOR RIPPING OFF LITTLE KIDS LIKE ARNOLD.

EXTORTION'S WHAT WE WANT TO NAB THEM FOR.

WELL, THERE MUST HAVE BEEN WITNESSES.

I MEAN, IT HAPPENED AT LUNCH HOUR.

HALF THE SCHOOL MUST HAVE SEEN IT, DIDN'T THEY, ARNOLD?

YEAH, BUT AT ASSEMBLY TODAY,

WHEN THE PRINCIPAL ASKED IF ANYBODY SAW THE FIGHT,

ONLY ONE KID RAISED HIS HAND,

AND IT TURNED OUT HE WANTED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM.

SAME OLD STORY.

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, DETECTIVE SIMPSON.

THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF THINGS, WILLIS.

THE BEST WAY IS TO CATCH THEM IN THE ACT,

BUT THEY SEEM TO BE ABLE

TO SMELL A SETUP A MILE AWAY.

THE OTHER WAY IS TO GET SOME CONCRETE EVIDENCE ON THEM

WHILE THEY'RE RIPPING OFF A LITTLE KID.

LET THEM INDICT THEMSELVES.

WELL, HOW? OH, YOU MEAN,

LIKE PLANTING A MICROPHONE ON A POTENTIAL VICTIM?

IF YOU'RE TALKIN' ABOUT ME,

I DON'T LIKE THE WORD "VICTIM."

YOU MEAN YOU'D STICK A MICROPHONE ON ARNOLD?

EXACTLY WHERE DO YOU INTEND TO STICK IT?

WE'D NEVER ASK TO BUG A CHILD, ARNOLD.

BUT SINCE YOU DID MENTION IT, MR. DRUMMOND,

IF YOU'D COME FORWARD ON YOUR OWN

AND VOLUNTEERED TO DO THAT,

I CAN PROMISE YOU THERE'D BE A LOT OF POLICE

HIDING IN THE AREA.

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING FOR?

I'M THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE HIDING.

YEAH, DAD. ARNOLD WOULD BE REALLY SAFE.

THE PLACE WOULD BE CRAWLING WITH FUZZ.

I MEAN POLICE OFFICERS.

THATS OK, SON.

YOU'D BE SURPRISED WHAT WE CALL EACH OTHER.

WILLIS, THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD LET ARNOLD BE USED AS A DECOY.

YEAH, I AGREE WITH YOU, DADDY.

WELL, I'M SORRY WE CAN'T HELP YOU, DETECTIVE SIMPSON, BUT...

I KNOW. I CAN MAKE THE SPEECH FOR YOU.

YOU WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING,

BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO ENDANGER YOUR KID.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

NOT ONE THING. I UNDERSTAND.

I'M A FAMILY MAN MYSELF.

MAYBE WE'LL GET LUCKY ONE OF THESE DAYS

AND GET THESE THUGS ANYWAY...

BEFORE THEY HURT SOMEBODY REAL BAD.

WELL, I'VE, UH...

I'VE GOT TO GET GOING. SO LONG, KIDS.

BYE-BYE. BYE.

IF YOU NEED ME, HERE'S MY NUMBER.

OH, THANKS VERY MUCH.

I WISH WE COULD HAVE HELPED HIM.

WE CAN.

YOU WON'T LET US.

DAD, I'VE BEEN THINKING.

YOU'VE ALWAYS TAUGHT US TO BE GOOD CITIZENS

AND TRY TO BE HELPFUL.

BUT NOT AT THE RISK OF HARM TO MY FAMILY.

YOUR OUTLOOK IS A LOT DIFFERENT

WHEN YOU'RE A PARENT, ARNOLD.

ARNOLD, YOU MESS AROUND WITH THOSE 2 GUYS,

YOU MAY NOT LIVE TO BE A PARENT.

PLEASE LET THEM WIRE ME, DAD.

I BET YOU THERE'D BE COPS ALL OVER THE PLACE.

I BET YOU THERE'D BE 2 IN A BLACK AND WHITE

WITH .38 MAGS

AND 2 ON THE ROOF WITH SAWED-OFF SHOTGUNS

AND A WHOLE SWAT TEAM IN BULLETPROOF VESTS

READY TO SPRING OUT OF THE SEWER.

ARNOLD, THIS ISN'T HILL STREET BLUES.

WILLIS IS LUCKY.

HE COULD HAVE BEEN PERMANENTLY INJURED.

I HEAR YOU TALKIN'.

CANCEL PREVIOUS REQUEST.

WILLIS, THE DOCTOR WANTS YOU TO REST.

NOW YOU CAN GO ON UP TO YOUR ROOM.

OH, BUT, DAD, HOW CAN I REST

WITH THOSE 2 GUYS OUT THERE STILL RUNNIN' LOOSE?

JUST RELAX AND THINK OF SOMETHING PLEASANT.

THINK OF YOUR GIRLFRIEND CHARLENE.

NO, DON'T DO THAT.

THAT'LL JUST KEEP YOU AWAKE.

COME ON, WILLIS. I'LL HELP YOU.

I'LL READ TO YOU,

I'LL TURN THE TV ON FOR YOU,

AND I'LL SING YOU TO SLEEP.

HERE. YOU'LL WALK BETTER IF YOU LEAN ON ME.

I'M OK, ARNOLD.

BUT YOU LOST SOME BLOOD.

YOU'RE LIABLE TO BE MORE LIGHTHEADED THAN YOU USUALLY ARE.

HERE YOU GO, WILLIS.

OH, GEE. THANKS, KIMBERLY.

COME ON, WILLIS.

HI, DUDLEY. COME ON IN.

HOW YOU DOING? GOOD TO SEE YOU.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU COMING, TED.

AHH. NOT AT ALL. I WAS GONNA CALL YOU.

NOW I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS SITUATION.

YEAH. SO AM I.

WOULD YOU LIKE A DRINK?

THANKS. HOW ABOUT A VERY DRY MARTINI?

YOU GOT IT.

HEY, DUDLEY, CARE FOR SOMETHING TO DRINK?

I'LL HAVE A VERY DRY DR. PEPPER.

YOU WANT THAT WITH AN OLIVE?

WHY NOT? I'M NOT DRIVING.

OK. 2 DRY DR. PEPPERS.

MAKE MINE A DOUBLE.

OH, SURE.

YOU KNOW, I'VE GIVEN THIS A LOT OF THOUGHT, PHIL,

AND I'M NOT SURE IT'S A GOOD IDEA

TO LET DUDLEY GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW.

YOU'RE THINKING RIGHT, DAD.

YOU GOT A GOOD POINT, TED.

IT'S WORRISOME.

I FELT THE SAME WAY YOU DO AT FIRST.

THEN I GAVE IT SOME MORE THOUGHT,

AND I'VE DECIDED I'M GONNA LET ARNOLD GO TO SCHOOL TOMORROW.

WHAT YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, DAD?

WELL, AREN'T YOU WORRIED

ABOUT THOSE TWO PUNKS SHOWING UP AGAIN?

YOU BET I'M WORRIED.

THAT MAKES IT UNANIMOUS.

WELL, IF YOU'RE WORRIED, PHIL,

WHY EXPOSE ARNOLD TO ANY DANGER?

WHAT IF THOSE TWO BULLIES DO SHOW UP AGAIN, DAD?

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I HOPE YOU GOT A GOOD ANSWER.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DO.

HE ALWAYS HAS AN ANSWER.

I HAVE NO INTENTION

OF EXPOSING YOU TO ANY DANGER, ARNOLD.

I'M GONNA TAKE ARNOLD TO SCHOOL MYSELF.

HE CAN STAY INSIDE ALL DAY,

THEN I'LL GO AND PICK HIM UP AFTER SCHOOL

AND TAKE HIM HOME.

I'M NOT GONNA LET 2 PUNKS

STAND IN THE WAY OF MY SON'S EDUCATION.

WELL, I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU THERE.

NOW DON'T WEAKEN, DAD.

LOOK, I PREFER THAT YOU GO TO SCHOOL, SON.

BUT HIS MOTHER AND I BOTH WORK,

AND THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN PICK HIM UP.

NO PROBLEM. I CAN TAKE THEM BOTH TO SCHOOL

AND PICK THEM BOTH UP.

AH. HA HA.

I TOLD YOU HE ALWAYS HAS AN ANSWER.

MORNING, WILLIS. HOW DO YOU FEEL?

OHH. I FEEL LIKE THE SAN FRANCISCO 49ers

USED ME FOR A TACKLING DUMMY.

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

YEAH. FIND ME A NEW SET OF RIBS.

WELL, AT LEAST YOU GET TO STAY OUT OF SCHOOL.

THAT'S WORTH A FEW RIBS.

HOW DID YOU SLEEP?

OH, PRETTY GOOD.

I HAD TO SLEEP ON MY LEFT SIDE ALL NIGHT.

YEAH, I CAN TELL.

YOUR AFRO'S FLAT ON THAT SIDE.

YOU WANT ME TO GET THE DRYER AND BLOW IT UP FOR YOU?

NO. AFTER A WHILE, IT POPS OUT BY ITSELF.

ROOM SERVICE.

THANKS! DID YOU BRING SOME FOR WILLIS?

HERE, WILLIS. I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE SOME JUICE.

I'LL BRING YOU UP SOME BREAKFAST, TOO, IF YOU'D LIKE.

NO, THANK YOU, KIMBERLY.

I CAN MAKE IT DOWN TO EAT.

GOOD. I'M MAKING PANCAKES.

LET HER BRING THEM UP, WILLIS.

AFTER YOU EAT THEM, YOU'LL WIND UP IN BED ANYWAY.

ARNOLD,

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A STACK OF PANCAKES

UP YOUR NOSE?

NO, THANKS. I'M TRYING TO CUT DOWN.

GOOD MORNING, KIDS.

GOOD MORNING, DADDY. MORNING, DAD.

OH, DADDY, BREAKFAST WILL BE READY IN JUST A FEW MINUTES.

THANKS, KIMBERLY.

WELL, HOW DID YOU SLEEP, SON?

NOT BAD.

DAD, CAN I GO TO SCHOOL TODAY?

I'M FEELING PRETTY GOOD.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.

IF YOU WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL WHEN YOU CAN STAY HOME,

YOU MUST BE DELIRIOUS.

AH, WILLIS, YOU HEARD THE DOCTOR.

HE SAID YOU SHOULD STAY AT HOME FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.

YEAH, BUT I TELL YOU, DAD, I'M FINE.

WILLIS, DON'T ARGUE WITH DAD.

WE'RE STAYING HOME.

THAT'S RIGHT AND...

WE?

WELL, YOU'RE GOING TO WORK, KIMBERLY'S GOING TO SCHOOL,

ADELAIDE HAS THE DAY OFF.

SOMEBODY'S GOT TO MAKE THE SACRIFICE.

THANKS, ARNOLD, BUT I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

THERE HE GOES. HE'S DELIRIOUS AGAIN.

ARNOLD, I APPRECIATE THE FACT

THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO GIVE UP THE THRILL OF SCHOOL

FOR THE DRUDGERY OF STAYING HOME.

BUT AS I TOLD YOU, YOU'RE GONNA GO TO SCHOOL.

NOW I DON'T HAVE ANY MEETINGS SCHEDULED FOR TODAY,

SO I CAN WORK AT HOME

AND TAKE CARE OF WILLIS MYSELF.

YOU KNOW, DAD,

AS LONG AS YOU'RE LETTING ARNOLD GO TO SCHOOL,

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE THE COPS PUT A MIKE ON HIM?

WILLIS, LET'S NOT GO OVER THAT AGAIN, OK?

I'LL SEE YOU DOWNSTAIRS.

HAND ME MY ROBE, ARNOLD.

OK.

OHH.

MAN, WILLIS,

I'M REALLY SORRY YOU GOT BEAT UP.

AND YOU DID IT FOR ME.

THAT'S OK, LITTLE BROTHER.

AND I'D DO IT AGAIN.

SEE, DAD, DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT GUYS LIKE THIS.

SEE, WE'RE FROM THE STREETS,

AND HE'S FROM PARK AVENUE.

THEY JUST KEEP RIPPING OFF KIDS

AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT

UNTIL SOMEBODY STICKS THEIR NECK OUT

AND NAILS THEM.

HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR BREAKFAST, ABRAHAM.

SURE CAN'T ENJOY MINE.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING,

WILLIS WAS RIGHT.

NOW I REALLY WISH DAD WOULD LET THEM

PUT A MICROPHONE ON ME.

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.

DAD ONLY SAID THE POLICE COULDN'T WIRE ME.

HE DIDN'T SAY I COULDN'T BUG MYSELF.

YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO.

I'LL BUG MYSELF.

I KNOW I'VE GOT THE GUTS TO DO IT,

ALTHOUGH I'M NOT IN ANY HURRY

TO PUT THEM ON DISPLAY.

LET'S SEE. WHERE'S THAT POCKET?

OK.

THAT OUGHT TO DO IT, ABRAHAM.

IF EDDIE AND ROBERTO COME TO SCHOOL TODAY,

I'LL GET THEM TO THREATEN ME.

OOH, I BETTER MAKE SURE IT WORKS.

HEY, WILLIS!

YEAH?

LET'S GO HAVE SOME BREAKFAST, WILLIS.

I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

I SAID I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.

COULD YOU GIVE ME THAT ONE MORE TIME?

ARNOLD, ARE YOUR EARS PAINTED ON?

OK, OK. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

I HEARD YOU RIGHT.

Arnold, recording: HEY, WILLIS.

Willis, recording: YEAH?

LET'S GO HAVE SOME BREAKFAST, WILLIS.

I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU, ARNOLD.

IT'S PERFECT, ABRAHAM!

JUST PERFECT!

WHY AM I SO HAPPY?

IF THOSE 2 GUYS FIND OUT WHAT I'M DOING,

I'LL BE RECORDING MY OWN OBITUARY.

Arnold.

AHH!

IT'S ONLY ME.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, SCARE ME TO DEATH?

I ALMOST LOST MY LUNCH,

AND I HAVEN'T EATEN YET.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO STAY INSIDE

AND EAT IN THE CAFETERIA.

I KNOW, I KNOW. BUT YOU GO AHEAD.

I'VE GOT TO BE OUT HERE.

WHY? YOU CRAZY?

FORGET IT. I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET INVOLVED.

INVOLVED WITH WHAT?

DUDLEY, PLEASE, I CAN'T TELL YOU.

IF YOU GOT KILLED ON ACCOUNT OF ME,

YOU'D NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN.

SPEAKING OF KILLED,

WHAT IF THOSE 2 GUYS COME BY?

THEY'LL DRIBBLE YOU OVER TO THE BASKETBALL COURT

AND SLAM DUNK YOU.

I KNOW, I KNOW.

BUT A MAN'S GOT TO DO WHAT A MAN'S GOT TO DO.

I'LL REMEMBER THAT.

I'LL PUT IT ON YOUR TOMBSTONE.

OH, UH, WHOSE MOVE IS IT?

DAD, IT'S BEEN YOUR MOVE FOR 10 MINUTES.

I'M SORRY, WILLIS.

HERE'S LUNCH.

THANKS, HONEY. THAT'S VERY NICE.

GEE, THANKS, KIMBERLY.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU COMING HOME FROM SCHOOL

TO DO THIS FOR ME.

OH, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

ALL I MISSED IS GYM.

I'M NOT SO CRAZY ABOUT MUSCLES ANYWAY.

HMM, UNLESS, OF COURSE, THEY'RE ON A GUY.

SHALL WE, DAD?

OH. UH, WHOSE MOVE IS IT?

THE OLDER WHITE PERSON.

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WILLIS,

THIS WHOLE THING WITH THE BULLIES

HAS GOT ME A LITTLE UPSET.

I'M REALLY NOT CONCENTRATING.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS.

ABOUT WHAT, DADDY?

WELL, I'M THINKING ABOUT

WHAT ARNOLD SAID TO ME YESTERDAY.

HE IMPLIED I WAS A HYPOCRITE.

YOU KNOW, IN A WAY, HE'S RIGHT.

I'VE TRIED TO TEACH ALL OF YOU TO DO THE RIGHT THING,

THAT WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING,

YOU STICK UP FOR IT.

YOU DON'T BACK DOWN UNDER PRESSURE.

NOW I WON'T LET YOU DO IT.

DADDY, YOU'RE ONLY PROTECTING YOUR FAMILY.

WELL, MAYBE I'M OVERPROTECTING YOU.

DETECTIVE SIMPSON PROMISED

THERE'D BE PLENTY OF POLICE THERE TO PROTECT ARNOLD

IF THEY WANT TO WIRE HIM.

ARNOLD WANTS TO DO IT.

THAT REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH FOR ME.

THEN ARE YOU GONNA LET HIM DO IT?

YES... YES, I THINK I WILL.

OF COURSE, I'LL BE THERE ALONG WITH THE POLICE.

ALL RIGHT!

AND I'M SURE THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

OK. NOW WHOSE MOVE IS IT?

IT'S STILL YOURS, DAD.

OK.

CHECKMATE.

CHECKMATE?

YEAH, THAT'S A CHESS TERM.

IT MEANS YOU'VE JUST BEEN ZAPPED.

DADDY SURE STUCK IT TO YOU, WILLIS.

DAD WOULD HAVE NEVER BEAT ME

IF I DIDN'T HAVE 12 STITCHES IN MY HEAD.

WILLIS, YOU'VE ONLY GOT 5 STITCHES.

UH-UH. I'M GONNA HAVE 7 MORE

AFTER I CUT MY THROAT.

YEAH, DETECTIVE SIMPSON, PLEASE.

PHILIP DRUMMOND CALLING.

WELL, IF YOU DO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM,

WOULD YOU TELL HIM I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE?

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

THANK YOU.

I'LL TELL ARNOLD ABOUT IT

WHEN I PICK HIM UP FROM SCHOOL.

IN FACT, HE SHOULD BE IN THE CAFETERIA HAVING LUNCH

RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

WELL, WELL, LOOK WHO'S HERE.

HOW YOU DOING, LITTLE SHRIMP?

HOW YOU DOING, GUYS? I'M DOING OK.

ISN'T IT ROBERTO AND EDDIE?

I'M EDDIE. HE'S ROBERTO.

OH. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

GUESS YOUR FRIEND ISN'T HERE, HUH?

GONNA HAVE TO PAY US A WHOLE 4 BUCKS YOURSELF, EH?

WHAT 4 BUCKS?

DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN?

THE 4 BUCKS YOU GONNA PAY US EVERY DAY

FOR EATING YOUR LUNCH,

OR YOU'LL BE WEARING YOUR TEETH

ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR LIPS.

AND, UH, SINCE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY LUNCH TODAY,

WHY DON'T YOU MAKE THAT 6 BUCKS?

DID YOU SAY I GOT TO PAY YOU 4 BUCKS

FOR EATING MY LUNCH, ROBERTO?

THAT'S RIGHT.

AND DID YOU SAY, "MAKE THAT 6 BUCKS," EDDIE?

YOU GOT IT, KID.

WELL, IF YOU THINK I'M GONNA LET YOU RIP ME OFF,

YOU'RE CRAZY.

I'LL TELL MY BROTHER.

OH, REALLY?

HOW MANY BROTHERS YOU GOT?

JUST ONE. WILLIS. YOU KNOW HIM.

YEAH. HE'S THE ONE WHO KEPT HITTING MY FIST

WITH HIS FACE.

ROBERTO, ARE YOU SAYING YOU BEAT UP MY BROTHER WILLIS?

MAYBE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE.

YOU WERE TOO BUSY HIDING UNDER THE BENCH.

EDDIE, WHAT WERE YOU DOING

WHILE ROBERTO WAS BEATING UP MY BROTHER WILLIS?

I WAS HELPING ROBERTO

BY KICKING YOUR BROTHER WILLIS IN THE RIBS.

WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR?

WELL, HERE'S A SURE BET.

I CAN'T GIVE YOU $6.00

'CAUSE I HAVEN'T GOT THAT MUCH.

SO HERE'S $2.00 OF YOUR EXTORTION MONEY.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO SAY?

YEAH. HOW COME YOU ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS?

NO REASON. I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

HEY, HOLD IT.

WHAT'S THAT LUMP?

OH, THAT LUMP? OH, IT'S A BEE STING.

I'VE BEEN MEANING TO SEE A DOCTOR ABOUT IT.

A BEE, HUH?

HOW DID MY RADIO GET IN THERE?

EH, MY FAVORITE STATION!

♪ NEER NEER NEER NEER ♪

THAT'S A TAPE RECORDER.

YOU LITTLE... GET HIM!

WHEW! MAN, THAT WAS CLOSE!

ARNOLD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHY AREN'T YOU IN SCHOOL?

DAD, I DID IT. I DID IT.

I RAN ALL THE WAY HOME,

BUT I DID IT.

LISTEN TO THIS.

Arnold, recording: LET'S GO HAVE SOME BREAKFAST, WILLIS.

Willis, recording: I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU, ARNOLD.

YOU RAN ALL THE WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL

SO THAT WE COULD HEAR YOU ASK WILLIS

TO HAVE BREAKFAST?

NO. I WANT YOU TO HEAR THOSE 2 GUYS,

EDDIE AND ROBERTO, THREATEN ME.

I GOT THEM ALL ON TAPE!

WHAT?!

WHERE'D YOU SEE THEM, ARNOLD?

AT SCHOOL. AT LUNCH.

YOU MEAN THEY CAME IN THE CAFETERIA AFTER YOU?

NOT EXACTLY.

WELL, WHAT EXACTLY DID HAPPEN, ARNOLD?

I GUESS I EXACTLY DISOBEYED YOU.

I BUGGED MYSELF WITH THE TAPE RECORDER

AND WAITED FOR THOSE 2 GUYS.

ARNOLD, THAT WAS A VERY FOOLISH THING THAT YOU DID.

THAT RAN THROUGH MY MIND WHEN THEY WERE CHASING ME.

ARNOLD, HOW DID YOU EVER GET AWAY?

I DUCKED INTO THE SUBWAY,

AND I WENT INTO A PLACE THEY COULDN'T FOLLOW ME.

WHERE WAS THAT?

THE LADIES' ROOM.

THERE WAS A LOT OF SCREAMING,

BUT I'M ALIVE.

AND VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE WITHOUT POLICE PROTECTION.

YOU DIDN'T NEED TO DO THAT, ARNOLD.

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW IS THAT I'VE ALREADY DECIDED

TO LET THEM WIRE YOU.

RUN THAT BY ME AGAIN.

I'LL GET IT.

ARNOLD, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.

YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN HURT.

YOU WANTED TO SEE ME, MR. DRUMMOND.

OH, YES. PLEASE COME IN.

I WAS GONNA TELL YOU THAT I HAD DECIDED

TO LET YOU WIRE ARNOLD.

BUT APPARENTLY, HE'S BEATEN US TO IT.

HE SAYS HE HAS GOT ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT YOU NEED

ON A TAPE RECORDER OF HIS.

OH, REALLY? WHERE IS IT?

RIGHT HERE.

I HOPE IT RECORDED OK.

THE ONLY TIME I WANT TO SEE THOSE GUYS AGAIN

IS ON VISITOR'S DAY.

WELL, LET'S HEAR IT, ARNOLD.

Arnold, recording: HOW YOU DOING?

ISN'T IT ROBERTO AND EDDIE?

Eddie, recording: I'M EDDIE. HE'S ROBERTO.

OH, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

WELL, THAT'S NOT VERY MUCH EVIDENCE SO FAR, ARNOLD.

IT'S COMING UP. HANG ON TO YOUR BADGE.

I GUESS SINCE YOUR FRIEND ISN'T HERE,

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO PAY THE WHOLE 4 BUCKS.

WHAT 4 BUCKS?

Roberto, recording: DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT AGAIN?

THE 4 BUCKS YOU'RE GONNA PAY US EVERY DAY

FOR EATING YOUR LUNCH

OR YOU'LL BE WEARING YOUR TEETH

ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR LIPS.

ARNOLD, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED.

I MEAN, WHO KNOWS HOW MANY OTHER KIDS

ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING AT THEIR SCHOOL?

YOU KNOW, YOU DESERVE A LOT OF CREDIT

FOR DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE A HERO.

HA HA HA!

GOOD GOING, ARNOLD.

I'M GONNA SEE YOU'RE MADE AN HONORARY DETECTIVE.

ALL RIGHT!

BUT AS LONG AS IT'S HONORARY,

HOW ABOUT MAKING IT CHIEF OF POLICE?
