[The episode starts with Horrid Henry, Rude Ralph, Beefy Bert and Jolly Josh watching a football match on TV in Henry's living room]
Announcer on TV: And it's Shaw running out the wing. He passes to MacAnally. He shoots, he scores! [everyone celebrates] Ashton Athletic are going to the FA cup final this Saturday!
Horrid Henry: Go Ashton Athletic!
Jolly Josh: This is the happiest day of my life.
Rude Ralph: And my mum says we can watch the final at my house!
Horrid Henry: With crisps and lemonade?
Rude Ralph: Yeah!
[they high-five]
Horrid Henry: Oh yeah, it'll be the best day ever! [dances into the kitchen] Go Ashton Athletic! Ashton Athletic, woo-hoo! Go Ashton Athletic! [opens the fridge]
Mum: [closes the fridge] Henry, you haven't forgotten Steve's birthday tea party on Saturday, have you?
Horrid Henry: But the cup final's on Saturday!
Mum: I know. That's why I'm reminding you. We're going to Aunt Ruby's for tea.
Horrid Henry: But Mum!
Mum: Tea, Henry. Not football.
[Mum closes the door]
Horrid Henry: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[Title card shows. The scene changes to Henry and Peter arriving at school with Margaret and Susan]
Moody Margaret: Looking forward to the final, Henry?
Horrid Henry: What? Oh, uh, yeah.
Moody Margaret: My mum and dad have bought me a new widescreen TV, so we're going to see it all in high-definition.
Sour Susan: Yeah, high-definition.
[Henry is unimpressed]
Moody Margaret: You, um, watching on your old TV, Henry?
Horrid Henry: Yeah, I suppose so.
Moody Margaret: Oh, and we're having a special cake in the shape of a giant football.
Horrid Henry: Cool!
[Margaret and Susan walk away, laughing]
Moody Margaret: [mimics Henry] Cool!
Sour Susan: Yeah, cool!
[Margaret and Susan leave and Henry growls in frustration]
Perfect Peter: Don't worry, Henry. I'm sure there'll be cakes at Aunt Ruby's too.
[Enraged, Henry transforms into the Horrid Tyrannosaurus Rex and chases Peter across the playground into a corner. He roars at him, but stops when a football hits him]
Aerobic Al: [retrieves it] Sorry, Henry, missed the goal.
Horrid Henry: Oh, I wish I could miss the party. If only it wasn't happening at the same time as the final. [gets an idea] EUREKA, THAT'S IT! Time for tea!
[The scene changes to the living room in Henry's house. He picks up the phone and dials Aunt Ruby's number]
Aunt Ruby: [answers the phone] Hello! This is Ruby speaking.
Horrid Henry: Uh, [deep voice] uh, hello. This is the uh, the prime minister. I'm phoning to tell you that the clocks are changing on Saturday, so tea-time will be three hours later than usual.
Aunt Ruby: I beg your pardon, who is this calling? [to Steve] There's someone on the phone saying that tea on Saturday will be three hours later than usual.
Stuck-Up Steve: [takes the phone from Aunt Ruby and laughs] Nice try Henry, but you're still coming.
[They hang up on each other. The scene shows Fluffy changing the time from night to day]
Mum: Hurry up, Henry. It's nearly time to go.
Horrid Henry: [pretends to be ill] I don't think I can go, Mum. I'm not very well.
Mum: Henry, the only thing wrong with you is football fever. You've got ten minutes to get ready or you're going in your pyjamas.
Horrid Henry: But-
Mum: No buts, Henry.
[Mum leaves the room. The scene changes to the kitchen where Henry is eating his breakfast. Dad walks in]
Horrid Henry: What's that you said Aunt Ruby? Oh dear, the party's cancelled? OK, don't worry, I'll tell Mum and Dad.
Dad: [takes the phone from Henry] You've got twenty seconds to finish your cereal, Henry.
[The scene changes to the hall, where Henry hides in the cupboard under the stairs]
Dad: Henry, where are you?
Perfect Peter: [opens the cupboard, revealing Henry hiding inside] Here he is.
[Dad glares at Henry. The scene changes to the driveway, where Henry reveals the car has a burst tyre]
Dad: [rolls up his sleeve] Henry!
[Finally, everyone is in the car]
Mum: [looks for the map] Where's the map? [Henry is shown sitting on it]
Dad: Don't worry, I've got the SatNav.
SatNav: Proceed to the highlighted route.
Horrid Henry: IT'S NOT FAAAAAAAAIIIIIIRRRR! Oh, please take me to Ralph's house! Please, please, please please!
Dad: No, Henry.
Perfect Peter: You can give Steve the present if it'll make you feel better, Henry.
Horrid Henry: Quiet, worm! I don't want to give Steve any presents!
Mum: Don't be horrid, Henry.
Horrid Henry: [looks out the window and sees a widescreen TV in a shop window] STOP!
[the car screeches to a halt]
Dad: What is it, Henry?
[Henry jumps out the car and goes to watch the game on TV, but Mum and Dad haul him back in the car]
Dad: Come on, Henry.
[The scene changes to show the car driving down the motorway]
Horrid Henry: Dad, I need to go to the toilet.
Mum: You can wait, Henry.
Horrid Henry: But I need to go right now!
[Dad looks at Henry and sighs. The scene changes to show him waiting outside a public toilet for Henry. He checks his watch while Henry reads a comic in the toilet]
Dad: Henry, where are you?
Horrid Henry: I'm locked in, Dad.
Dad: Really? Let me give it a try. [tries to unlock the door, but Henry jumps in front of it] It's no use, it won't open.
Horrid Henry: Why don't you go on without me? You can pick me up on the way back.
Dad: Don't be stupid, Henry. Come out of there!
Horrid Henry: No!
Dad: [loses his temper] HENRY, YOU COME OUT OF THAT TOILET NOW, OR I'LL GIVE ALL YOUR TOYS AWAY, AND YOU WON'T HAVE ANY POCKET MONEY UNTIL YOU'RE 94-AND-A-HALF!
[Dad realises that a nearby man overheard him, and is embarrassed. Henry comes out of the toilet]
Horrid Henry: OK, Dad.
[The car pulls up outside Rich Aunt Ruby's House and Stuck-Up Steve opens the door to the family inside]
Mum: Hello, Ruby.
Rich Aunt Ruby: Oh, I'm so glad you all could make it.
Stuck-Up Steve: Oh yes. Henry can watch me open all my presents. I've got loads.
Horrid Henry: That's nice, Steve. Uh, Aunt Ruby, would it be okay if I watch the cup final please?
Rich Aunt Ruby: Oh. Well, I suppose so.
Perfect Peter: Ooh, we've got 'hamsters do the funniest things' on DVD!
Rich Aunt Ruby: Oh! What a lovely idea, Peter. Let's watch it after tea.
Horrid Henry: Thanks, Worm!
Dad: Henry...!
Rich Aunt Ruby: Now, let's all going into the drawing room. The silver's not quite polished yet.
[Everyone except Henry follows her]
Horrid Henry: Ha, no way. I'm off to find a TV.
[The scene changes to show Henry looking through the various rooms]
Horrid Henry: Ah, No TV in there. Or there.
[Soon Henry opens the door to the attic and finds the TV on the chair]
Horrid Henry: YES! 
[Henry turns on the TV and only sees static, but adjusts the aerial to show the game]
TV: What a marvellous free kick, but the goalkeeper got the better of him..
Horrid Henry: Yes!
Mum: [turns off the TV] No.
Horrid Henry: Oh, please let me watch! Just for a minute?
Mum: N-O spells no, Henry. Come downstairs now!
[Henry sighs. The scene changes to the drawing room, where Steve is opening his presents]
Stuck-Up Steve: Oh, a personal stereo. I've already got five of those. [Henry scoffs] Oh, a two way radio. Whoever would I want to talk to? [places the radio on the sofa between an open bar. Henry whistles as he takes the radio] I think I'll open your present next, Mummy. It's the very biggest one.
[Henry also takes a headphones too and carefully sneaks away while everyone watches Steve opening his presents then enters the bathroom and makes a phone call]
Brainy Brian: [Answers his phone] Hello?
Horrid Henry: Brian, it's Henry! I need your help [whispers through the phone line to him]
Brainy Brian: Mmm, no problem, Henry. Now, first you need to open up the back.
Horrid Henry: [opens the back with the bottom of the toothbrush] Okay, I'm in.
Brainy Brian: Now, you have to take the blue wire. [Henry takes the blue wire out]
Mum: [walks upstairs] Henry! Henry! Where are you?
Horrid Henry: Oh, I got to hurry! Mum's coming! [wipes off the sweat from his forehead]
Mum: [offscreen] Henry!
Horrid Henry: Aah! Done it!
Brainy Brian: Okay, Henry. Now put the battery and you should have a signal. [Henry puts the three batteries in, closes up the back and turns on the red button]
Commentator: And it looks like Ashton Athletics are making a substitution!
Horrid Henry: Oh, cool! Thanks, Brian! [runs to down to see Mum] Oh! Sorry, Mum. I got lost.
Mum: Yes, well. Everyone is waiting for you in the dining room.
Horrid Henry: [runs down to meet them] Okay!
[The final scene changes to the dining room where Henry (wearing headphones), Mum, Dad, Peter and Steve sitting at the table]
Commentator on radio: Still, still, still! With only a few minutes to go!
Dad: How nice for us all to be together at last!
Mum: Hmm. With no distractions. [holds her cup of tea]
[Henry still listens through the headphones as the Commentator talks indirectly when Rich Aunt Ruby comes out with Steve's birthday chocolate cake]
Rich Aunt Ruby: [brings the cake over to the table] Look what I've got, my little chickadee!
Commentator: And he's reached the last defender! It's just the goalkeeper to beat! And GOAL!!
Horrid Henry: GOAL!!! [accidentally punches the plate out of Ruby's hands knocking her over and the cake sploshes everywhere and lands on Ruby's head]
Rich Aunt Ruby: Aah! Ow!
[Dad slams the table]
Everyone: HENRY!!!
Horrid Henry: Oops! [the episodes fades away to black]
