MORNING, EVERYBODY.

HEY, GOOD MORNING.

I JUST WANT SOME JUICE, ADELAIDE.

I'VE GOT TO GET TO SCHOOL.

EXCITED ABOUT THE BIG DAY, HUH, HON?

YUP. TODAY IS THE DAY THAT THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA

GIVES YOU FREE SPAGHETTI,

IF YOU GET THE LUCKY MEATBALL.

THAT'S THRILLING, ARNOLD.

BUT IT'S NOT THE BIG DAY ADELAIDE WAS REFERRING TO.

NO?

OH! YOU MEAN THE BIG DAY SATURDAY.

OH, RIGHT! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY.

I ALMOST FORGOT.

I MUST BE THE ONLY 11-YEAR-OLD KID IN TOWN WHO'S SENILE.

ARNOLD, HOW COULD YOU FORGET?

WHILE YOU WERE CUTTING

YOUR BIRTHDAY CAKE LAST YEAR,

YOU WERE ALREADY MAKING PLANS FOR THE NEXT ONE.

HOW MANY KIDS ARE YOU GONNA HAVE AT YOUR PARTY THIS YEAR?

I DON'T WANT A PARTY THIS YEAR.

YOU DON'T WANT A PARTY?

I'M TIRED OF PARTIES. THAT'S FOR KIDS.

I'M MATURE NOW.

WELL IF YOU'RE MATURE AT YOUR AGE, I MUST BE DEAD.

I LIKE HAVING BIRTHDAY PARTIES.

WELL THAT'S DIFFERENT.

AFTER 40, YOU'RE IN YOUR SECOND CHILDHOOD.

HOW DOES THE THIRD CHILDHOOD GRAB YOU?

WELL ARNOLD, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE A PARTY,

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?

UM, NOTHING SPECIAL.

JUST TAKE ME TO SOME FANCY RESTAURANT IN THE LIMO,

WINE AND DINE ME,

GIVE ME SOME EXTRAVAGANT PRESENTS,

AND I'LL HAPPY AS A CLAM.

I'LL TAKE THE SAME DEAL ON MY BIRTHDAY,

ONLY INSTEAD OF THE CLAM, THROW IN DIANA ROSS.

WELL, ARNOLD, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT, IT'S FINE WITH ME,

BUT I'M REALLY SURPRISED THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE A PARTY.

I'M FLABBERGASTED!

MY FLABBER'S EVEN MORE GASTED THAN YOURS.

I DON'T WANT TO FLAUNT MY WEALTH,

IT WOULDN'T BE RIGHT TO THROW A BIG PARTY

WHILE THE ECONOMY IS IN SUCH A RECESSION.

THANK YOU, ELLIOT JANEWAY.

BYE.

BYE. BYE.

YOU KNOW, WHEN ARNOLD STARTS TO WORRY ABOUT THE ECONOMY,

I START TO WORRY ABOUT ARNOLD.

I HAVE THE FEELING THERE'S SOMETHING

THAT HE IS NOT TELLING US.

YEAH. WHY WOULD HE TURN DOWN A BIRTHDAY PARTY?

YOU'RE NOT HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY?

ARNOLD, YOU JUST RUINED MY APPETITE.

IN THAT CASE, I'LL FINISH YOUR LUNCH.

I JUST GOT MY APPETITE BACK.

WELL, I'M SORRY, DUDLEY,

BUT THERE ISN'T GONNA BE A BIRTHDAY PARTY.

MAN, THERE SURE ARE GONNA BE A LOT OF DISAPPOINTED KIDS, ARNOLD.

YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY'S THE SOCIAL EVENT OF THE YEAR,

NEXT TO THE SUMMER COCKROACH RACES AT SCHOOL.

YEAH...

I GAVE SOME GOOD PARTIES, DIDN'T I?

I'LL SAY.

YOU'RE THE HUGH HEFNER OF THE SIXTH GRADE.

REMEMBER THAT PARTY WHEN I WAS NINE?

WHICH ONE WAS THAT?

THE ONE RIGHT BEFORE I WAS TEN.

I MEANT WHAT HAPPENED AT THE PARTY?

OH, WE PLAYED SPIN THE BOTTLE.

THE GIRLS WANTED TO KISS BUT THE BOYS DIDN'T.

SO WE SHOOK HANDS INSTEAD.

HOW COULD WE HAVE BEEN SUCH FOOLS?

WHAT'S EVEN DUMBER,

WE DID IT AGAIN THE NEXT YEAR.

I DON'T GET IT, ARNOLD.

YOU USED TO LIKE YOUR PARTIES.

AND NOW YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE ONE.

I HAVE MY REASONS FOR NOT HAVING A PARTY, DUDLEY.

LIKE WHAT?

WELL, I CAN'T TELL YOU.

IT'S VERY PERSONAL.

LOOK, I'LL MAKE A TRADE WITH YOU.

IF I TELL YOU SOMETHING REAL PERSONAL ABOUT ME,

THEN CAN YOU TELL ME?

I GUESS SO.

OK.

DON'T EVER MENTION THIS,

BUT ONE NIGHT LAST WEEK,

I DREAMED I WAS A BABY.

I WAS LYING IN MY CRIB

SUCKING ON A PACIFIER.

WHEN I WOKE UP,

I DISCOVERED I WET MY BED.

THAT'S NOT PERSONAL ENOUGH.

NOT PERSONAL ENOUGH?

EVEN MY MOTHER DOESN'T KNOW.

I WAS WASHING SHEETS AT 2:00 IN THE MORNING.

SOME FRIEND YOU ARE, ARNOLD.

GET YOURSELF ANOTHER BEST FRIEND.

WAIT, DUDLEY. I'LL TELL YOU.

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. IT'S TOO LATE.

BUT, DUDLEY... OK.

WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO GIVE A PARTY?

WELL, LOOK AT ME.

OK.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

I SEE YOU.

NO, WHAT ABOUT ME.

YOU GOT A NEW PIMPLE?

I MEAN BESIDES THAT.

LOOK AT ALL OF ME, NOT JUST MY FACE.

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

OH, I GET IT! YOU WALK FUNNY.

NO. I'M SHORT.

YOU CALL THAT A TRADE?

I TELL YOU I WET THE BED,

AND YOU TELL ME YOU'RE SHORT?

ARNOLD, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.

YEAH, ESPECIALLY GIRLS.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

YOU MEAN YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANOTHER BIRTHDAY PARTY

TILL YOU'RE TALL?

NOPE. GIRLS DON'T GO FOR ME.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

YOU'RE VERY POPULAR.

GIRLS LIKE YOU.

NOT THE WAY I WANT THEM TO.

THEY DON'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY.

THEY TREAT ME LIKE A PET.

THEY PAT MY HEAD,

RUB MY CHEEKS,

PULL MY EARS.

THEY DO EVERYTHING BUT THROW A STICK

AND YELL "FETCH."

COME ON, ARNOLD. YOU'RE EXAGGERATING.

NO, I'M NOT.

IT WAS DIFFERENT WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.

BUT NOW THAT I'M 11,

EVERYBODY'S GOT A GIRL BUT ME.

NO GIRL WANTS TO KISS A GUY

WHO ONLY COMES UP TO HER TRAINING BRA.

EVEN YOU HAVE A GIRL, DUDLEY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, EVEN ME?

I'M A VERY CHARMING, DEBONAIR DUDE.

I'M ONE OF THE MOST ELIGIBLE GUYS

IN THE SIXTH GRADE.

YOU'RE ALSO TALLER THAN ME.

THAT'S WHY YOU GOT A GIRL AND I DON'T.

HI, FELLAS.

HI.

HI, TERESA.

HI, ARNOLD.

YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?

I'M SURPRISED SHE DIDN'T OFFER ME A BOWL OF KIBBLE.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

SHE LIKES YOU.

SHE MAKES A SPECIAL POINT OF COMING OVER.

SHE GIVES YOU A BIG SMILE AND A BIG HELLO,

AND YOU JUST SIT THERE

LIKE THE INCREDIBLE LUMP.

DON'T YOU LIKE HER?

LIKE HER?

WHEN I'M NOT DREAMING ABOUT FOOD,

I DREAM ABOUT HER.

BUT WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?

CLIMB UP ON A LADDER AND KISS HER?

NO, BUT IF YOU ACTED MORE FRIENDLY

AND INVITED HER TO THAT PARTY

THAT YOU OUGHT TO BE THROWING,

I BET SHE'D SAY YES.

NO WAY.

YOU'RE JUST CHICKEN.

OK, DUDLEY,

I GUESS I'M GONNA HAVE TO SHOW YOU.

I'M GONNA GO OVER THERE AND ASK HER

AND SHE'S GONNA DUMP ALL OVER ME

AND MAKE ME FEEL LIKE DIRT,

AND THEN THAT'LL PROVE WHAT A FOOL YOU ARE.

SOUNDS REASONABLE.

HI, BILLY.

HI, TERESA.

CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND? SURE.

UM, WELL...

SATURDAY'S MY BIRTHDAY,

NOT THAT I'M TRYING TO HIT YOU UP FOR A PRESENT.

WELL, CONGRATULATIONS, ARNOLD.

ANYWAY, I WAS THINKING

OF THROWING A PARTY

AND IF I DID,

YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT TO COME.

OH, I'D LOVE TO.

I DON'T BLAME YOU FOR NOT...

DID YOU SAY LOVE TO?

I'D LIKE TO GO VERY MUCH, ARNOLD. I'M GLAD YOU ASKED ME.

YOU ARE?

WELL, THAT'S TERRIFIC!

IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT AT MY PENTHOUSE.

ARNOLD!

DID YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND?

NO, BUT WHAT TIME IS THE PARTY?

WHAT TIME WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO BE?

HOW ABOUT 7:00?

YOU GOT IT. I'LL SEE YOU.

DUDLEY, SHE SAID YES!

I DON'T BELIEVE IT!

I MEAN, YOU HAD ME CONVINCED

THAT YOU WERE GONNA BOMB.

WELL, I DIDN'T

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE BEST PARTY I EVER GAVE.

ONLY THIS TIME, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE STUPID.

WE'RE GONNA SHAKE HANDS FIRST,

THEN PLAY SPIN THE BOTTLE.

WAY TO GO, LOVER.

HI, TERESA!

HI, ARNOLD.

I FORGOT TO ASK YOU,

HOW ARE YOU GETTING TO THE PARTY?

I GUESS MY FOLKS WILL BRING ME.

I COULD DO BETTER THAN THAT.

I'LL SEND MY DAD'S CHAUFFEURED LIMO FOR YOU.

LIMO?!

I'M TALKING LONG, BLACK, AND PAID FOR.

OH, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

IT'S JUST LIKE IN THE MOVIES:

A PENTHOUSE, A BIG PARTY, A LIMO.

I FEEL LIKE CINDERELLA.

YEAH?

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE CINDERELLA?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WHAT I MEAN IS I'LL MAKE IT A COSTUME PARTY,

AND YOU COULD DRESS LIKE CINDERELLA.

BUT PLEASE, DON'T THINK OF ME

AS YOUR FAIRY GODMOTHER.

ARNOLD, YOU'RE TOO MUCH.

I AM?

I ALWAYS THOUGHT I WASN'T ENOUGH.

I'LL SEE YOU.

BILLY!

OH, HI, TERESA.

HEY, DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE BIG PARTY ARNOLD'S THROWING?

YEAH, HE JUST INVITED ME.

ME, TOO. YOU GOT A DATE?

NO.

ME NEITHER. WANT TO GO WITH ME?

OH, THAT'D BE NEAT.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE US TO BE PICKED UP IN A LIMOUSINE?

LIMOUSINE? FANTASTIC!

THAT'S RIGHT, DUDLEY.

I GOT A DATE WITH TERESA.

I GOT A DATE!

I GUESS SHE LIKED YOU ALL THE TIME,

BUT YOU JUST NEVER MADE THE BIG MOVE.

YEAH.

HEY, MAYBE I GOT THAT KIND OF CHARM

THAT SNEAKS UP ON WOMEN.

BUT ANYWAY, IT LOOKS LIKE LITTLE ARNOLD'S

GOT HIMSELF A BIG MAMA.

YOU SURE DO.

DUDLEY, THIS IS GONNA BE

THE BIGGEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!

COME ON!

I'LL PUT THESE OVER HERE.

GREAT.

HERE, ADELAIDE.

THANKS A LOT FOR HELPING ME, GANG.

OH, THEY ARE GONNA LOOK SO CUTE IN THEIR COSTUMES.

OH, WILLIS, COULDN'T WE HANG AROUND SO WE COULD SEE THEM?

NO WAY. RIGHT, DAD?

RIGHT. ARNOLD GAVE STRICT ORDERS.

ANYBODY OVER 12 YEARS OLD CAUGHT IN THE LIVING ROOM

GETS A NOSE FULL OF PARTY DIP.

BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU, ADELAIDE?

YOU'RE OVER 12.

I GOT A FAKE I.D.

ARNOLD GAVE ME A SPECIAL PASS

FOR SERVING.

OH, LOOK AT THIS.

HI!

WELL, HOW DO I LOOK?

SMASHING! GREAT!

I PUT HAIRSPRAY ON MY PLUME.

WHO ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE, ARNOLD?

WHO ELSE? PRINCE CHARMING.

MIGHT ONE ASK IF THERE'S A CINDERELLA?

ONE MIGHT ASK, BUT ONE AIN'T GONNA SEE HER

BECAUSE ONE AIN'T GONNA BE HERE.

I HAPPEN TO KNOW

THAT CINDERELLA'S NAME IS TERESA.

ARNOLD ARRANGED TO HAVE HER PICKED UP

IN MY CHAUFFEUR-DRIVEN PUMPKIN.

Willis: OH.

SOUNDS LIKE WE GOT A HOT ROMANCE GOING ON HERE.

TELL US ABOUT HER, PRINCE.

WELL, I FIRST SAW HER LAST SEMESTER.

OUR EYES MET ACROSS A CROWDED CAFETERIA.

I GOT SO EXCITED,

I SQUEEZED MY HOTDOG RIGHT OUT OF THE BUN.

BOY, SHE MUST BE SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL.

YEAH, SHE IS.

BUT IT'S NOT THAT SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL,

YOU TAKE IT ONE PART AT A TIME,

AND SHE'S NOT THAT GREAT.

BUT YOU PUT HER ALL TOGETHER,

YOU GOT YOURSELF AN UNDER DEVELOPED MISS AMERICA.

ARNOLD, HOW COME YOU NEVER MENTIONED

YOUR DREAM GIRL BEFORE NOW?

I NEVER KNEW SHE LIKED ME.

I WORSHIPPED HER FROM AFAR,

BUT NOW I'M GONNA WORSHIP HER FROM ANEAR.

HIS HIGHNESS HAS JUST ISSUED A ROYAL PROCLAMATION.

WE'RE ALL BANISHED FROM THE LIVING ROOM.

MY FIRST GUESTS! GET BANISHED!

I'M GOING. GET BANISHED!

I'M GOING, I'M GOING, I'M GOING, I'M GOING.

I'M COMING!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARNOLD. OH, THANK YOU.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARNOLD. THANK YOU. HELLO.

HI, ARNOLD. CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU. HELLO, ARNOLD.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

HAVEN'T YOU FORGOTTEN SOMETHING?

OH! YEAH.

HERE, ARNOLD.

AW, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE...

BUT I'M GLAD YOU DID.

WHEN DO WE EAT?

FOOD'S ON THE TABLE.

EVERYBODY, START PIGGIN' OUT!

WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE, ARNOLD?

PRINCE CHARMING. WHO ARE YOU?

PRESIDENT REAGAN.

PRESIDENT REAGAN?

YEAH, IN HIS MOVIE, CATTLE QUEEN OF MONTANA.

I WAS LUCKY. I MISSED THAT ONE.

HAVE SOME FOOD, DUDLEY.

OK.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ARNOLD.

YOU'RE WEARING MY COSTUME.

YOU MEAN, YOU'RE WEARING MINE.

WELL...

IT'S A COINCIDENCE THAT A PRINCE CHARMING

MEETS A CINDERELLA IN THE ELEVATOR

GOING TO THE SAME PARTY.

IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE, ARNOLD.

WE CAME TOGETHER IN YOUR LIMOUSINE.

BILLY'S MY DATE.

WHAT YOU TALKIN' ABOUT, TERESA?

WELL, I DIDN'T HAVE A DATE, AND BILLY WAS COMING, TOO,

SO WE CAME TOGETHER.

OH.

THAT WORKED OUT GREAT, DIDN'T IT?

WELL, ENJOY YOURSELVES.

UH... EXCUSE ME. I HAVE TO GO TO THE KITCHEN...

TO KILL MYSELF.

WE'RE ON OUR WAY, DAD.

OK, ENJOY THE MOVIE.

HAVE FUN, KIDS.

HEY, ARNOLD, HOW'S THE PARTY GOIN'? YOU HAVIN' A GOOD TIME?

SEND EVERYBODY HOME.

WHAT... WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THIS PARTY IS CANCELED.

BUT IT JUST STARTED!

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

YOU KNOW THAT GIRL I'M SO CRAZY ABOUT?

WELL, WHAT ABOUT HER?

I HATE HER.

WHAT HAPPENED, ARNOLD?

BILLY CAME WITH TERESA. HE'S HER DATE.

OH, NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.

I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE HER DATE.

SO DID I.

I'D LIKE TO GIVE CINDERELLA A SHOT WITH HER GLASS SLIPPER.

I BETTER GET IN THERE AND LET YOUR GUESTS IN.

HOW COULD SHE DO THIS TO ME?

LOOK, LITTLE BROTHER.

THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO HANDLE A WOMAN.

YOU GOTTA LET THEM KNOW WHO'S BOSS.

OH, IS THAT RIGHT?

CHARLENE, I DIDN'T MEAN LIKE WITH YOU AND ME.

KEEP TALKING, WILLIS,

YOU'RE ONLY IN IT UP TO YOUR EYEBALLS.

NOTHING'S GOING TO HELP.

I'M A REJECTED MAN.

AND ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE,

BILLY'S GOT A PRINCE CHARMING OUTFIT.

AND HIS PLUME'S BIGGER THAN MINE.

ARNOLD, I THINK MAYBE YOU GAVE UP TOO SOON.

NEVER JUDGE A MAN BY HIS PLUME.

LOOK, LITTLE BROTHER, YOU WANT TO WIN TERESA?

WELL, HERE'S WHAT YOU DO.

YOU JUST SLIDE UP TO HER REAL COOL, AND YOU SAY,

HERE'S WHAT'S GOIN' DOWN, BABY:

YOU ONLY HAVE EYES FOR ME BECAUSE I'M YOUR FELLA, CINDERELLA.

WILLIS, YOU'RE SO FULL OF BULL.

YOU NEVER CAME ON TO ME LIKE THAT.

BUT WHAT I LIKED ABOUT YOU WAS THAT YOU WERE JUST THE OPPOSITE.

YOU WERE SWEET AND KIND AND GENTLE.

CHARLENE, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE

BEFORE YOU RUIN MY REPUTATION.

CAN I GO WITH YOU? MINE'S ALREADY RUINED.

HEY, I'M SORRY THIS HAPPENED, ARNOLD.

BUT TELL ME SOMETHING.

IF TERESA HAD A DATE WITH YOU,

WHY WOULD SHE BRING SOMEBODY ELSE?

'CAUSE SHE'S A BIGAMIST, THAT'S WHY.

ARE YOU SURE THERE HASN'T BEEN SOME KIND OF A MISUNDERSTANDING HERE?

NO. I PERSONALLY ASKED HER TO COME OVER,

AND SHE LEANED RIGHT DOWN AND SAID YES TO MY FACE.

AND DID YOU MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR

THAT YOU WERE ASKING HER TO BE YOUR DATE AT YOUR PARTY, NOT JUST A GUEST?

RUN THAT BY ME AGAIN.

SEE, ARNOLD, I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE

THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW THAT SHE WAS GONNA BE YOUR DATE.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIGHT, DAD.

WHEN I ASKED HER, I WAS NERVOUS.

WELL, THE SAME THING'S HAPPENED TO ME, ARNOLD.

HOW OLD WERE YOU?

50. IT WAS LAST NIGHT.

LISTEN, THE NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO TAKE TERESA OUT,

BE SURE THERE'S NO MISUNDERSTANDING, O.K.?

SHE WOULD HAVE KNOWN I MADE A DATE IF IT WASN'T ME.

WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

TERESA WOULD HAVE KNOWN I MADE A DATE

IF I WAS TALL, DARK AND HANDSOME.

WELL, TWO OUT OF THREE AIN'T BAD.

IT AIN'T BAD, BUT IT AIN'T ENOUGH.

GIRLS DON'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY.

I WANT TO BE A SEX OBJECT.

OH, ARNOLD, IS THAT WHY YOU DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE A PARTY

TO BEGIN WITH?

HUH? BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET

A REAL DATE? YEAH.

LET'S FACE IT, DAD.

I'LL NEVER GET A GIRL OF MY OWN.

OH, THAT'S NOT AT ALL TRUE, ARNOLD.

YOU'RE SELLING YOURSELF SHORT.

I MEAN...

UH, LISTEN, SON, COME HERE.

SEE, EVERYBODY HAS CERTAIN PROBLEMS, CERTAIN HANDICAPS

THAT THEY HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH.

I THINK I'M GONNA BE A MONK.

I'M GONNA GIVE UP WOMEN AND BE CELEBRATE.

WELL, ARNOLD, I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO GO QUITE THAT FAR.

YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, SON, YOU'VE GOT AN AWFUL LOT GOIN' FOR YOU.

BEING SHORT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.

THAT'S EASY TO SAY WHEN YOU'RE TALL.

WELL, LOOK AT NAPOLEON. HIS WIFE WAS THE BEAUTIFUL JOSEPHINE.

AND THE FAMOUS JOCKEY WILLIE SHOEMAKER, HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL WIFE.

EVEN MICKEY ROONEY, ALL 8 OF HIS WIVES WERE VERY BEAUTIFUL.

I DON'T WANT A WIFE. I WANT A DATE.

WELL, THAT SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD FOR A GUY WITH ALL YOUR NATURAL CHARM

AND HUMOR AND GOOD MANNERS, EXCEPT WHEN YOU'RE EATING OF COURSE.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS, ARNOLD:

WOMEN LIKE TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT AND CONSIDERATION.

THEY DO?

OH, SURE.

IN SCHOOL, YOU'VE READ ABOUT SIR WALTER RALEIGH, HAVEN'T YOU?

YEAH. HE'S THE CLOWN THAT INVENTED CIGARETTES.

YEAH, THAT'S TRUE, BUT HE ALSO DID SOME GOOD THINGS.

NOW, THERE WAS A REAL GENTLEMAN.

ON ONE OCCASION, A LADY WANTED TO CROSS THE STREET,

BUT THERE WAS THIS BIG PUDDLE OF WATER, SEE?

YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID? HE TOOK OFF HIS CAPE

AND HE THREW IT OVER THE PUDDLE SO HER FEET WOULDN'T GET WET.

AFTER THAT, ALL THE WOMEN IN LONDON LOVED HIM.

THEY DID? RIGHT.

AND THE ONLY TIME HE DIDN'T HAVE A WOMAN WITH HIM

WAS WHEN THEY BURIED HIM.

LISTEN, ARNOLD, INSTEAD OF FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF,

YOU SHOULD MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT YOU'VE GOT.

I PROMISE YOU, YOU'LL BE SURPRISED AT THE RESULTS.

BUT HOW DO I DO THAT?

LET ME GIVE YOU A COUPLE OF SUGGESTIONS.

ARE MY GUESTS ENJOYING THEMSELVES?

GREAT PARTY, ARNOLD. GREAT PARTY.

AREN'T YOU EATING, MY DEAR?

MAY I SHOW YOU SOMETHING IN THE WAY OF A HOTDOG?

THANK YOU, ARNOLD.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

WE HAVE ONE OF THESE HOTDOGS AND MUSTARD.

HERE YOU ARE. THANKS.

THESE HOTDOGS ARE GOOD, ARNOLD.

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE ONE, MY DEAR?

YES, I WOULD.

GOOD. AH!

LADIES FIRST.

YOU'RE VERY CONSIDERATE, ARNOLD.

THERE AREN'T MANY OF US GENTLEMEN LEFT.

AND I LOVE THE LILT IN YOUR VOICE.

HEE. THANK YOU, ARNOLD.

AND THE CUTE WAY YOU TILT YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU GIGGLE.

WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU?

DO YOU WANT SOME PUNCH, TERESA?

SURE.

GET ME SOME, TOO.

I'LL GET YOU A GLASS OF PUNCH, TERESA.

THANK YOU. MY PLEASURE.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO...

DRINK IT FOR HER?

YES, IF SHE WISHES.

LOOK, SHE'S MY DATE.

I'LL GET IT FOR HER. HEY!

NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!

IT'S ALL OVER THE FLOOR!

NO PROBLEM. NO PROBLEM.

I'LL HANDLE IT.

ALLOW ME, MY DEAR.

WHAT A FOOL! HE RUINED HIS COSTUME.

THAT'S REAL DUMB. ARNOLD.

YEAH, ARNOLD.

THAT'S DUMB.

HE IS NOT DUMB.

IT'S JUST THAT HE'S 11 NOW,

I HEAR PUBERTY CAN DO WEIRD THINGS TO A GUY.

WELL, I THINK ARNOLD IS THE ONLY GENTLEMEN HERE.

Girls: YEAH, I'M WITH YOU.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR BEING SO CONSIDERATE, ARNOLD.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF CLASS.

NO SWEAT.

UH... EXCUSE US.

CAN I TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND?

UM, EH-HEH...

DO YOU THINK WE COULD GO TO A MOVIE OR SOMETHING SOMETIME,

LIKE A REAL DATE?

WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, ARNOLD,

I NEVER THOUGHT OF YOU THAT WAY.

OH...

I UNDERSTAND.

WELL, EAT ALL YOU WANT ANYWAY.

JUST A MINUTE.

I NEVER THOUGHT OF YOU THAT WAY 'CAUSE AT SCHOOL YOU'RE JUST, UH...

WELL, JUST A CUTE LITTLE KID.

I KNOW.

BUT NOW THAT I SEE THIS SIDE OF YOU,

I REALIZE THERE'S MUCH MORE TO YOU.

YEAH?

LIKE WHAT?

WELL, YOU'RE SO CONFIDENT, THOUGHTFUL, AND CHARMING.

THAT'S ME.

SO COULD WE GO ON A DATE SOMETIME.

I'D LOVE TO.

OH... MAN!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO WALK ACROSS MY CAPE AGAIN?

I'D BE HONORED.
