Transcript:Horrid Henry's Birthday

[Mum drinks her cup of tea while Dad reads his newspaper. Peter closes the fridge, holding the milk. Henry opens the door, making the milk spill]
Horrid Henry: Out of my way, worm!
Mum: Henry!
Horrid Henry: There's two more weeks till my birthday; which means a birthday party, (marks Day 9 on the calendar) and loads of brilliant presents for me!
Mum: [gasps] Henry's birthday party?!
Horrid Henry: I wanna go to Lazer Zap! Zap, zap, zap, zap!
Mum: You're not going to Lazer Zap. It's too violent.
Dad: I agree.
Mum: And too expensive.
Dad: I agree.
Horrid Henry: You're right. Let's have the party at home. There's loads of stuff we can do here...
[Flashback begins of Henry and Peter as babies. Henry is shaking his rattle while swinging his legs, while Peter is shocked. Margaret is tied up with an apple in her mouth. Ralph throws an apple at Henry, and Henry throws green slime. It lands on Peter's face. Flashback ends]
Mum: [realises Lazer Zap might be a better idea than the alternative] Alright, you can go to Lazer Zap!
Dad: I agree!
Horrid Henry: [does a cartwheel] LET'S PARTY!!!
[Title card shows]
[The scene shows Ashton Primary School with the kids inside]
Horrid Henry: Listen up, everyone! [screams] My birthday party. The social event of the year!
Moody Margaret: Your parties are never fun.
Sour Susan: Yeah, they're never fun.
Weepy William: [sadly] I never have a nice time.
Moody Margaret: So, thanks, but we're not coming.
Horrid Henry: But that means... no presents! Wait, this is going to be different. There'll be a brilliant tea.
Greedy Graham: Sounds good.
Horrid Henry: And... and the prizes will be fantastic!
Aerobic Al: Game prizes! I'm in!
Anxious Andrew: And me, if it's not too scary.
Horrid Henry: This will be the best party you've ever been to.
Moody Margaret: Oh, all right. I'll come just to see this brilliant party of yours.
Sour Susan: Yeah, me too.
Gorgeous Gurinder: And me!
[Everyone in the class saying either 'me too' and 'and me' while Henry is passing tickets to them. The scene changes back to the living room, where Mum, Dad and Peter are watching TV]
TV: And then, the ants painstakingly burrow their way through the soil to build their nest.
[Henry turns the TV off]
Mum: Henry!
[Henry walks to the front of the room and unrolls the list]
Horrid Henry: [reading] 'Henry's best party ever. Item one, food: crisps, burgers and loads of chips. [Imagines the food appearing on the dining room table]
[Mum and Peter look at each other disapprovingly]
Mum: Hmmm, carrot sticks.
Perfect Peter: Mmm, yummy.
Mum: Peanut butter sandwiches and plenty of apple juice.
[Henry's food ideas disappear from the table and are replaced by Mum's]
Horrid Henry: Item two, the trip to Lazer Zap. We'll go in a fleet of stretch limos.
[Henry imagines the limos appearing outside Lazer Zap one by one. He gets out as King Henry the Horrible and is welcomed to Lazer Zap. His dream is then interrupted by Dad]
Dad: No, no limos. Much too expensive.
[Henry is brought back to reality as a bus replaces the limos in his imagination]
Perfect Peter: One bus is much greener than lots of limos.
Horrid Henry: Don't know why you're bothered, you're not coming.
Mum: Henry! Peter's your brother. Of course he's coming.
Horrid Henry: But he'll ruin everything!
[Henry transforms into the Horrid Dragon and breathes fire at Peter]
Mum: Don't be horrid, Henry! No Peter, no party.
Horrid Henry: All right. But you'd better keep out of my way, worm.
[Just then, the phone rings. Dad answers it. The caller babbles unintelligibly]
Dad: Yes? [more unintelligible babbling from the phone] The birthday boy's name is Henry.
[The caller screams so loudly that everyone covers their ears and their hair is blown back. Dad frowns at the phone and puts it back in the holder]
Dad: Henry, when you went to Lazer Zap for Ralph's birthday party, did you break all the lasers?
Horrid Henry: No.
Dad: And put slime in everybody's space suits?
Horrid Henry: No!
Perfect Peter: What about the goo in the moon boots?
Horrid Henry: Oh yeah, that was great! [laughs] I mean, it wasn't me!
Dad: Well, Lazer Zap have banned you.
Mum: That means... the party... will have to be here!
Horrid Henry: No! I want to go to Lazer Zap!!! I promised everyone a great time!
Dad: Don't worry, I know lots of good games.
[Henry looks defeated. The scene shows the calendar counting down to Henry's birthday. Fluffy changes the time from night to day]
Horrid Henry: [goes downstairs on his birthday] YEAH!
[Henry answers the door to his classmates. Everyone except Ralph is there]
Everyone: Happy birthday, Henry!
Horrid Henry: Hello! You can come in if you've brought a present.
Mum: [from the living room] Don't be horrid, Henry!
[Henry lets everyone in. The scene changes to the living room where Henry surveys his guests and notices Ralph is missing]
Horrid Henry: Where's Ralph? He's supposed to be here.
Mum: Ralph's at the dentist. His mum's going to drop him off when he's finished. You'll have to start without him.
Horrid Henry: OK, go!
[Margaret walks up to Henry and gives him her present]
Moody Margaret: This is from...
Horrid Henry: I know.
[Henry opens the present]
Moody Margaret: It's a pack of felt pens. Do you like it, Henry?
Horrid Henry: Umm, I've already got some.
Mum: Henry, what do you say?
Horrid Henry: [insincerely] Thank you very much! [puts it down] Next!
[Henry looks at Gurinder's present]
Gorgeous Gurinder: It's a tapestry kit. I chose it myself.
Horrid Henry: Why?
Perfect Peter: Ooh, ooh, I'll have it if you don't want it, Henry.
[Peter is looking through Henry's presents while Henry looks disappointed]
Perfect Peter: Brilliant! You've got some animal soap, a CD of fairy tales... Oh, wow. 'Cook Your Own Healthy Nutritious Food'. Fantastic! [laughs]
Mum: What do you say to everyone, Henry?
Horrid Henry: Euuuuuurgh!
Mum: Henry!!
Horrid Henry: [to the viewers] Could this party possibly get any worse?
[Dad comes in with a parcel]
Dad: Party games, everyone!
Horrid Henry: [to the viewers] Yep, it can.
[Dad starts the music and everyone starts passing the parcel around. When it gets to Henry, he starts unwrapping it even though the music is still on]
Moody Margaret: Pass it on, Henry!
Lazy Linda: Yeah, like, pass it on, Henry!
[Dad sighs and stops the music]
Perfect Peter: Come on, Henry, pass it on!
Horrid Henry: All right! Here you go, Worm.
[Henry tosses the parcel to Peter, who catches it. The box explodes, filling the living room with scraps of paper. Henry is delighted that his prank worked]
Dad: Don't be horrid, Henry!
[The scene transitions back to the living room]
Dad: Now, who wants to play Musical Statues?
[Dad starts the music and everyone starts dancing. He stops the music and Henry wobbles on one leg, pushing over Aerobic Al next to him]
Horrid Henry: He moved!
Aerobic Al: Didn't! You pushed me!
Horrid Henry: Did not!
Aerobic Al: Did!
Dad: Henry, I'm warning you.
Moody Margaret: Yes, Henry. We're having fun.
Horrid Henry: No, we're not. This is fun! [Henry jumps, changing the music to the Killer Boy Rats CD] Yeah, go Killer Rats! Let's dance! [laughs]
[Everyone starts dancing again]
Mum: Henry, look who's here. [she lets Ralph in]
Rude Ralph: [not speaking properly due to his locked jaw from the dentist] Happy birthday! Frozen - dentist.
[Ralph gives Henry his present...]
Horrid Henry: Thanks!
[...but Mum takes it away]
Horrid Henry: Mum!
Mum: It'll have to wait until later, Henry. Tea's ready.
Horrid Henry: [to the viewers] At least tea's going to be good!
[Henry strolls into the dining room, expecting to see his favourite foods, but instead he sees healthy food. He screams in frustration]
Horrid Henry: AAUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!
[The scene changes to the dining room, where everyone is enjoying the healthy food]
Horrid Henry: [to the viewers] Where are my burgers? Where are the chips?
Moody Margaret: [grabs a peanut butter sandwich] Mmm, it's peanut butter. I like peanut butter.
Greedy Graham: I love carrot sticks. [eats a forkful of carrot sticks]
[Aerobic Al takes a celery stick]
Horrid Henry: Want a crisp?
Aerobic Al: No thanks, Henry. I'm staying fit and healthy.
[Rude Ralph takes some popcorn and gives Henry a thumbs-up]
Moody Margaret: Henry, you were right. This is a good party.
Horrid Henry: [takes a peanut butter sandwich] This is the worst party ever!
[While everyone is eating, Henry goes to the living room]
Horrid Henry: [looks at Ralph's present] I bet this is another rubbish present too. [unwraps it and is delighted to find it's a Double Drencher 3000] All right, that's more like it!
[Henry goes back to the dining room with his new Double Drencher 3000 and ambushes the guests]
Horrid Henry: LET'S PARTY!
[Henry sprays everyone with water. Ralph retaliates by throwing an orange at Henry, but Henry dodges it and it splatters against the door. He then sprays Ralph, who ducks, and the water jet soaks Peter instead. Dad tries to intervene, but the jelly splats him in the face. Henry sprays more water into the air, then sprays Beefy Bert, who pours apple juice on Ralph's head, who is hiding next to him. Soraya takes a stack of paper plates and throws then like Frisbees. Meanwhile, Greedy Graham is under the table eating the popcorn]
Mum: HENRY!!!!!!
[Anxious Andrew is shown hiding under the tablecloth]
Gorgeous Gurinder: Mind my hair!
Mum and Dad: HENRY! STOP IT!!
[Henry stops]
Mum: Look what you've done! You've ruined the tea, everything's a mess!
Horrid Henry: Now, that's what I call a great party!
Mum: You are never, ever, EVER having another birthday party!
Horrid Henry: It's OK - they say that every year. Only 12 months to go, and everyone's invited!
[The guests all celebrate the great party, ending the episode]
