Transcript:Horrid Henry Goes Swimming

[Flashback starts. In the pool, a shark is trying to scare Henry, making him worried and gets out of the pool]
Horrid Henry: Phew. Safe. [a shark comes out the door and chases him] NOOOOOO! Help!
Shark: Henry, Henry, Henry...
[Flashback ends]
Mum: Henry! HENRY!!
Horrid Henry: Huh?
Mum: Henry, time to get up.
Perfect Peter: Come on, Henry, the early bird catches the worm!
Horrid Henry: What are you talking about?
Perfect Peter: Punctuality. Early bird catches the worm!
[Henry groans]
Mum: Henry, get up. You've got swimming today.
Horrid Henry: Swimming? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!''
[Title card shows]
[Scene cuts to the kitchen]
Horrid Henry: What's swimming got to be with education? It's not like I'm going to grow up to be a fish.
Mum: Swimming is a lesson. [fixes Henry's shirt]
Perfect Peter: Yes, that's why you get schools of dolphins!
Dad: [laughs] Good one, Peter!
Horrid Henry: It's the water I hate. It's so... wet. It stings your eyes, and the pool's so cold, penguins can fly in for the winter!
Perfect Peter: Um, penguins can't actually fly, Henry.
Horrid Henry: Silence, worm!
Mum: Don't be horrid, Henry.
Perfect Peter: Anyone would think you can't swim.
Horrid Henry: Of course, I can swim! [pours the Sweet Tweets in the bowl but one falls out. He licks it and puts it in his feet] Mum! I can't go swimming. Look! I've got a verruca!
Perfect Peter: Oh.
Mum: Hmm... there is something there.
[A sweet tweet falls out of Henry's foot. He gasps and eats it. Peter groans in disgust]
[Scene cuts to Henry's class on the bus]
Horrid Henry: I hate swimming. When I'm king, [fantasy] no one will have to do swimming, EVER! [fantasy ends] Give it up, Ralph.
Rude Ralph: Oh, it worked on Andrew. [growls on Andrew. He groans]
Horrid Henry: You can't scare me!
Rude Ralph: If I do, will you give me your pocket money?
Horrid Henry: Yeah, okay. All 50p of it.
Rude Ralph: [shakes Henry's hand] Deal. So, what are you going to tell Soggy Sid this week?
Horrid Henry: I forgot my trunks.
Rude Ralph: No way! It did that last time! And the time before!
Horrid Henry: Hmm, OK, then. Time for plan B. Oh, no, Ralph, you're right! Look, there's a mountain lion right there!
[Inaudible chatting]
Brainy Brian: It is not a mountain lion's natural habitat.
Anxious Andrew: Oh... it could have escaped from a zoo.
Brainy Brian: Hmm, good point.
Moody Margaret: There's no mountain lion!
Brainy Brian: Are you having a laugh, Henry?
Rude Ralph: No, look! It's on this side!
[The kids run to the right side]
Moody Margaret: --and them! Oh! It's still not there, Henry.
Horrid Henry: You were too slow! It's gone!
[The kids sit down on their seats. Henry throws the swimming costumes Ralph's holding]
Horrid Henry: What a great day! Soggy Sid had to cancel the lesson 'cause nobody had their swimming costumes. [Ralph growls] Ralph, you're really pathetic.
Rude Ralph: Oh, yeah? Well, this will really scare you. The school rang my Mum. We got an extra swimming lesson tomorrow.
Horrid Henry: Tomorrow?
Rude Ralph: And, we're doing our badges. [Henry growls]
[Scene cuts to Henry's bedroom. Henry is scared of swimming]
[Flashback starts]
Horrid Henry: Whoa! [panicked groaning. Henry dives into the water to make a splash]
Shark 1: 5.3!
Shark 2: 5.5!
Shark 3: [in Mum's voice] Ten past 8, Henry, time for school.
[Flashback ends]
Mum: Swimming today. [Henry groans]
[Scene cuts to the swimming place]
Horrid Henry: Keep this to yourself, Andrew: a shark just escaped from the aquarium!
Anxious Andrew: Uh, a shark?
Horrid Henry: Yes, a super-intelligent mutant shark! And it's headed this way. So, stay alert.
Anxious Andrew: Oh... Henry says there might be a sh-sh-shark in the pool!
Brainy Brian: Sharks are saltwater creatures. They don't like chlorine.
Horrid Henry: I don't like chlorine. But I still swim in it.
Brainy Brian: Good point.
[Ralph jumps out of the lockers and growls]
Horrid Henry: That's not even as good as the werewolf!
Rude Ralph: I'm just warming up.
Aerobic Al: [pants] I'm going for my 1,000 meters today.
Mr Soggington: Right, you lot, get in the pool. Henry, don't tell me...
Horrid Henry: Sorry, Sir, I can't swim today, because...
Mr Soggington: Enough excuses, Henry, you horrible child! I don't care if you got a slight touch of leprosy or bubonic plague. You're swimming today! Get changed. Now!
Horrid Henry: I love to, Sir, but, uh... unfortunately, I forgot my trunks.
Mr Soggington: Spare costumes. Put one on.
[Scenes cut to Henry's swimming trunks he can't wear]
Horrid Henry: I can't wear any of these! I won't!
Mr Soggington: Get changed.
Horrid Henry: I've got to swim five whole meters without drowning.
Mr Soggington: Henry? Henry! [Al dives after doing his tricks. Henry shivers]
Moody Margaret: He's a scaredy cat, Sir. He's scared of the water!
Horrid Henry: Of course, I'm not scared! I - I love the water! Watch this! [panicked grunting and groaning. He falls down and drowns. After he got up, he shivers]
Mr Soggington: Henry, swim! Do you really want to be the only one in the class who hasn't got his five-meter badge!?
Moody Margaret: You should make Henry a special badge Sir, in the shape of a drowning chicken! [she and the rest of the laugh]
Horrid Henry: Right. [tries to swim, but walks instead of swimming] Swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim, swim! There, five meters. Easy. Can I get out now?
Mr Soggington: Henry, how stupid do you think I am?
Horrid Henry: Uh, is that a trick question?
Mr Soggington: I said 'swim'! Not 'walk'! [the class laugh and knows that Henry's not swimming] Down to the shallow end, and practice! You're not getting out of this pool until you've got your five-meter badge.
[Henry groans]
[The scene cuts to Linda swimming but not Henry]
Horrid Henry: The shallow end? The big fat losers end, they should call it. [William pops in screen] What's wrong with you?
Weepy William: [sniffling] I'm just so happy to be learning to swim!
Horrid Henry: Hey, watch where you're going!
Anxious Andrew: Oh, sorry. I wasn't looking. I was looking out for... you know, the shark!
Horrid Henry: The shark? EUREKA! THAT'S IT! Andrew, about the shark! Latest news: it escaped into the sewage system!
Anxious Andrew: No!
Horrid Henry: Yes! So it will probably swim at that big pipe and end up here, hiding in the deep end.
Anxious Andrew: No!
Horrid Henry: Yes! Don't tell anyone.
Mr Soggington: [off-screen] Line up, everyone.
Anxious Andrew: Can't I even tell William?
Horrid Henry: Okay, I know William can keep a secret, for about five seconds. [he laughs]
[When the people line up, the shark got to someone's ear. Susan blows the shark out, and it growls]
Mr Soggington: Come on, it's badge day. Why isn't anyone swimming?
Weepy William: We don't want to swim!
Anxious Andrew: Or be eaten by sharks.
Mr Soggington: Eaten by sharks?! If you don't get back in the pool and swim, I'll bite you myself! I mean it! SWIM!
Moody Margaret: I told them it was a ridiculous rumour, Sir.
Aerobic Al: Has anyone seen my other flipper?
Mr Soggington: Start swimming! NOW!
Horrid Henry: And look out for the shark!
Moody Margaret: Henry, stop it! No one believes there's a shark in the water.
Horrid Henry: No? What's that, then? [he points at a shark]
Moody Margaret: Eek! A shark! [Henry pulling a rope attached to Al’s flipper]
Anxious Andrew: Shark!
Weepy William: Shark! [everyone except Henry scream to get out of the pool but William cries. Henry laughs]
Moody Margaret: Henry! Get out!
Aerobic Al: Henry, it's coming!
Weepy William: It's right behind you!
Horrid Henry: What? No, it's not. Uh... uh... it's... AAAAARGH! SHAAAAAAAAAAAAARK!!!!!!!!!! [all of the class scream when Ralph (as a shark) trying to scare Henry except for Sid] SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rude Ralph: Can I have your pocket money now or should I wait till we're on the bus?
Mr Soggington: Hey, Ralph, you made Henry swim. Nice one. Double detention for impersonating the shark. Congratulations, Henry. You're the only one who got their badge. Not only did you swim five meters, but I think you swam in the fastest time ever seen in this country.
Horrid Henry: OLYMPICS! Here I come!
