Transcript:Horrid Henry and the Bogey Babysitter

(Mum is washing the dishes while Henry and Peter eat spaghetti. Henry slurps loudly while Peter stays quiet)
Dad: (comes into the kitchen) Ugh, the babysitter is cancelled!
Horrid Henry: Yes! I hate babysitters. I'm not a baby, and I don't want to be sat on. In fact, parents shouldn't be allowed to go out at all! (imagines about Mum and Dad's wedding, thinking 'Cheers!' while a man plays the violin) Parents should stay at home where they belong.
(Mum and Dad together) Ugh!
(The man looks shocked. Imagination ends, and Henry slurps)
Mum: There must be someone else we can try.
Perfect Peter: I think Henry's scared them all away!
Horrid Henry: But why should I be nice to some ugly stuck-up bossy teenagers, who hogs the TV and picks out on my biscuits? (Flashback shows Henry spilling orange juice on Crabby Chris's pants) I accidentally spilled juice on Crabby Chris. (Crabby Chris screams) And Mad Martin didn't like skateboarding. (Mad Martin screams) And Tetchy Tess. That was easy peasy. (opens the bathroom door, and the water takes away Tetchy Tess. Flashback ends)
Narrator: Henry doesn't like babysitters. They're stuck-up bossy teenagers.
Dad: I've done it! I found a babysitter.
(Mum, Henry and Peter together) Who?
Dad: Rebecca.
Horrid Henry: Rebecca? Not Rabid Rebecca! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
(Title card appears)
(Mum puts lipstick on her lips while Dad ties his shoes)
Horrid Henry: Please don't let Rebecca babysit! She's horrible!
Dad: She's not horrible. Just strict.
(Doorbell rings)
Perfect Peter: I'll get it!
Horrid Henry: No! Don't answer it, worm! (Peter opens the door while Henry looks at Rabid Rebecca tall) I bet she eats elephants for breakfast.
(Rabid Rebecca puts her foot on Henry while Henry huddles. But she just stepped on the carpet and walked)
Rabid Rebecca: What have you got to eat?
Dad: Uh... help yourself to anything in the fridge. (runs out of the house)
Mum: Uh... bedtime is 9 o'clock. And, uh... remember, Henry, don't be horrid. (runs out of the house while Peter shuts the door)
Rabid Rebecca: So you're the one known as Horrid Henry.
Horrid Henry: (snorts) And you're the one known as Rabid Rebecca!
Perfect Peter: And, I'm the one known as Perfect Peter! And I know we're all going to have a good time!
Rabid Rebecca: Good's good. I like good. (Perfect Peter snorts) I expect good. I demand good. Are we clear?
(Henry nods)
Perfect Peter: Uh, that's lucky. I'm really good at being good. But, it will be difficult for you.
Horrid Henry: Yeah. This is going to be tough.
(In the living room, Henry watches Mutant Max)
Mutant Max: Take that, you miserable maladjusted malicious malevolent Mutant...
(Rabid Rebecca changes the channel)
Horrid Henry: Hey! I was watching Mutant Max!
(Rabid Rebecca lifts the soda up making Henry fall. She sits on the sofa, and Peter comes in with a tray with water, popcorn and a flower)
Perfect Peter: Would you care for some refreshments?
Rabid Rebecca: Popcorn?! (throws the popcorn) I hate popcorn!
Perfect Peter: Ooh, sorry. My mistake. I should have checked first. (sees the TV screen) Ooh, I love ballroom dancing. What's your favourite? The Foxtrot? The... the Tango?
Rabid Rebecca: Get lost. (Henry has an idea. He gets out of the sofa and pretends to do ballroom dancing) Shut up!
Perfect Peter: Henry, you're doing it all wrong. It's more of a cha, cha, cha, then a do, do do, da.
Rabid Rebecca: Get out of my way! (picks up Henry and Peter) You can both go to bed right now.
Horrid Henry: But it's not my bedtime for hours!
Perfect Peter: I saw we can all have a nice game of Chinese Checkers before bedtime! (Rabid Rebecca snorts) Oh, okay. If you don't like that, how about Tiddlywinks?
Rabid Rebecca: We're playing hide and seek. You both hide, and if I find you, (throws Henry and Peter) you'll be wishing I hadn't. (slams the door)
Perfect Peter: Ooh, ooh, ooh, bagsy. I'm hiding in the cupboard under the stairs. Aren't you going to hide?
Horrid Henry: Not from Rabid Rebecca, I'm not. I've eaten all the other babysitters in town, and I'm not going to lose this time. Let the games begin! (In the kitchen, Henry pours juice into his dolphin. He accidentally spilled it after Rabid Rebecca closes the fridge) Whoa!
(Rabid Rebecca snorts. Later, she was going to open the door to the living room when she sees Henry with a helmet on a skateboard. She uses a screwdriver to remove the wheels, making Henry fall. She opens the living room door and closes it. Later, Henry opens the door to the toilet and turns on the faucets to try and flood the toilet. He opens the curtain only to see Rabid Rebecca on the bathtub)
Horrid Henry: What? (Rebecca sprays water on Henry, and he lands on the toilet. Later, he opens the cupboard door)
Perfect Peter: Hey, this is my hiding place.
Horrid Henry: (closes the door and calls the police) We have an intruder in the house! Come quickly!
Perfect Peter: An intruder?!
Policeman: Don't worry, son. We'll have a squad car over there in no time. Yeah, what does this intruder look like?
Horrid Henry: Ten feet tall, teeth the size of an iceberg, and she's watching our TV right now!
Perfect Peter: But, that's Rebecca! She's not an intruder! (Doorbell rings. The policeman comes and has a chat with Rebecca. Henry comes out of the cupboard and peeks into the living room) But, here's the police thought Rebecca was the intruder, and took her away. Does that mean I win hide and seek?
Rabid Rebecca: No! (snorts) You most definitely haven't won hide and seek! Intruder, am I? Ten feet tall, am I? Teeth like icebergs, have I?
Perfect Peter: Uh, it wasn't my idea. I think you're very, uh... charming...!
Rabid Rebecca: Get. To. Bed. You have five seconds. One.
(Henry and Peter together) Run! (run upstairs to their respective bedrooms)
Rabid Rebecca: Two. Three. (Henry covers himself with a blanket and takes off his clothing) Four. (opens the bedroom door) Five. (Henry peeks out from his blanket) Don't even think of moving from that bed, or you'll be sorry you weren't born. (closes the door)
Horrid Henry: This is not good for my reputation. Hope nobody finds out I went to bed two more hours before my bedtime.
Perfect Peter: Henry. It's me, Peter. I'm going to see what you're going to do.
Horrid Henry: Do?
Perfect Peter: Well, you're Henry. You're not going to take this lying down.
Horrid Henry: No. No, I'm not. Because no one tells Henry what to do. This is our house. We have rights. We will not be bullied. We will stand up to the oppressor. We will gain our freedom. Because I am Henry, and you are Peter.
Perfect Peter: Um, I think I'll stay in my room.
Horrid Henry: Worm.
(In the living room, Rebecca snorts and throws the books away. She then notices a spider and freaks out)
Rabid Rebecca: Ah! Spider! It's just a stupid toy. (sighs)
Horrid Henry: EUREKA! THAT'S IT! (comes upstairs)
Perfect Peter: Are we free yet?
Horrid Henry: We need a spider!
Perfect Peter: Spider? Any particular species?
Horrid Henry: Yeah! A big one! (puts a spider on the ceiling) Perfect! Now, scream for help!
Perfect Peter: Help! (Henry steps on his slippers) OW! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!
Horrid Henry: That was pretty good.
Perfect Peter: Oh, thank you!
(Horrid Henry puts the boxes away in his room. Meanwhile, Rebecca comes upstairs. Peter shudders)
Rabid Rebecca: Why aren't you in bed? (sees a spider) Spider. (sees another one) Ah! (sees another one) AH! (shudders, but Henry releases a spider from a jar onto Rebecca) Take them away.
Horrid Henry: (laughs) Look, Peter. That was huge! Pretty hairy and horrible and wrinkly, and...
Rabid Rebecca: Get rid of them!
Horrid Henry: If I risk my life and get rid of the spiders, can I watch some Mutant Max?
Rabid Rebecca: Yes.
Horrid Henry: And stay up until my parents come home?
Rabid Rebecca: Yes.
Horrid Henry: And eat all the ice cream in the fridge?
Rabid Rebecca: Yes. Just get rid of that... that... thing.
Horrid Henry: Deal!
(Henry puts the spiders into the jar)
Perfect Peter: I think I'll take them to school tomorrow.
(Henry closes the lid)
Rabid Rebecca: Right. (points to where they should go) Back to bed. Both of you. Now!
Horrid Henry: But, we agreed.
Rabid Rebecca: Tough! Deal's off!
Perfect Peter: A simple thank you would have been nice.
Horrid Henry: If the deal's off, you can have the spiders back. (shows Rebecca spiders and follows her; Rebecca gets a bit scared and goes downstairs)
Perfect Peter: Henry, maybe you should stop. It's not nice to scare others.
Horrid Henry: She broke our promise.
Perfect Peter: True. Grown-ups shouldn't make promises and not keep them.
(Henry slides Rebecca into the cupboard and locks the door)
Rabid Rebecca: (bangs on the door while Henry blocks it with a chair) Let me out! Let me out right now!
Horrid Henry: Freedom!
(Later, Henry watches Mutant Max with food all over the floor)
Mutant Max: Take that, you repellant, repulsive, repugnant, reptilian, rat!
Horrid Henry: Smash him, Mutant Max! (hears the car being driven by their parents) Parents! (turns off the TV) Coming, ready or not! (unlocks the door, and Rebecca comes out)
Rabid Rebecca: (picks up Henry) Right, you little worm! I'm going to take you apart limb by limb!
Mum: Henry!
(Dad gasps)
Rabid Rebecca: (snorts and drops Henry) I was just... leaving. (leaves the house)
Mum: Oh, you poor things.
Dad: Ugh! What a mess! Well, we certainly won't have her to babysit again.
Perfect Peter: Ha! We made a pretty good team, don't we?
Horrid Henry: (pushes Peter into the cupboard and closes the door) Huh, not in my lifetime.
