Transcript:Horrid Henry Says Goodbye

[Henry returns home from school in a bad mood. He opens the front door and storms down the hallway]
Perfect Peter: What's wrong now, Henry?
Horrid Henry: Moody Margaret got the new Gross Class Zero game. I want one!
Perfect Peter: But you've got lots of other computer games, Henry.
Horrid Henry: But I need that game! Oh, I'm fed up of living next door to Moody Margaret.
Perfect Peter: Well, you might not be living next door to her for much longer.
Horrid Henry: What do you mean, worm?
Mum: [opens the kitchen door] Dad's got a new job, so we're moving house.
Horrid Henry: Moving house? Yes! No more Moody Margaret! 
[The scene changes to the kitchen where Mum is drinking tea]
Horrid Henry: [opens the door] Of course, if we move, there are a few conditions.
Mum: Oh yes?
Horrid Henry: One, the new house must be nearer to Ralph's house.
Mum: Right?
Horrid Henry: And it must not have any girls living next door.
Mum: Well, the new house will definitely be further away...
Horrid Henry: Hooray!
Mum: ...because Dad's new job is in another part of the country.
Horrid Henry: Another part of the country? But, everyone I know is here. If I move, the only boy I'll know is Peter! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[Title card shows]
[The scene changes to Henry's bedroom the next morning]
Mum: [opens the door and walks in] Will you please get out of bed Henry? [pulls back Henry's duvet and sees that Henry's bed is empty] What?
Horrid Henry: Good morning, Mum.
Mum: You're up?
Horrid Henry: Yes.
Mum: And dressed?
Horrid Henry: Yes.
Mum: Are you... feeling all right, Henry?
Horrid Henry: It's a school day. I don't want to be late.
Mum: Sorry?
Horrid Henry: [starts packing his school bag] I love my school!
Mum: [incredulous] You do?
Horrid Henry: Oh yeah. So many things to learn. Buh-bye! [walks out and closes the door after him]
Mum: He must be coming down with something.
[The scene changes to Dad weeding the garden. Henry sneaks past him and into Margaret's garden, and creeps up behind Margaret, who is sitting in a deckchair reading a book]
Horrid Henry: Hello, Margaret!
Moody Margaret: Aah! What are you doing, creeping up on people like that?
Horrid Henry: I... uh... I just wondered [raises his voice so Dad will hear him] if I could play with you.
Moody Margaret: What? No!
Horrid Henry: Because it's so good having a really good friend to play with [raises his voice even louder] right next door. [Dad overhears and frowns]
Moody Margaret: Have you gone mad? Last time I saw you, you called me a moudly old measle.
Horrid Henry: [laughs] No I didn't. Shhh!
Moody Margaret: Then you said... [Henry covers her mouth while she struggles]
Horrid Henry: I don't know what I'd do if I could never see you again, Margaret. [Dad listens] I can't tell you how much you mean to me, Margaret. [Dad smiles and goes indoors to tell Mum what he's just heard]
Moody Margaret: Don't you ever do that again. Now, get out of here!
Horrid Henry: With pleasure, and just so you know, you are a mouldy old measle! [Margaret growls at Henry, who laughs and goes back to his own garden]
[The scene changes to outside Ralph's house. Henry and Ralph meet up there]
Rude Ralph: Hello.
Horrid Henry: No time for that. Get everyone together.
Rude Ralph: Uh, right?
Horrid Henry: Come to my house this afternoon.
Rude Ralph: Right.
Horrid Henry: And get everyone to say how much they'd miss me if I wasn't here.
Rude Ralph: [confused] Um, but you are here?
Horrid Henry: Well I am now, but I might not be soon.
Rude Ralph: Oh. Right.
Horrid Henry: I'll pay them to say it in Fuzzy Gumballs.
Rude Ralph: Oh, right!
Horrid Henry: Get on with it then.
Rude Ralph: Right!
[They go off in different directions. The scene changes to Henry's house. Mum is shown walking home with the shopping, while Henry, Ralph, Bert, William, Al and Graham are gathered in Henry's sitting room]
Greedy Graham: Is there anything to eat?
Horrid Henry: [hears the front door close] Mum's back. This is it.
Mum: [opens the sitting room door] Oh. Hello everyone.
Weepy William: [Henry nudges him] Uh, yes. Uh, I mean, we just wanted to say... [starts crying]
Rude Ralph: What he means is, we're all going to miss Henry when he moves.
Aerobic Al: He's such a good friend. He's very...wise.
Mum: [unconvinced] Really? Do you feel the same way, Bert?
Beefy Bert: Uh, I dunno.
Rude Ralph: Yes, he does. We'll all really, really miss Henry.
Mum: Hmmm. Well, I'm really sorry to hear that...
Horrid Henry: [thinking they've persuaded Mum to change her mind] Yes! [laughs]
Mum: ...but we are moving, so you'll all just have to get used to it I'm afraid. [she leaves the room as Henry sighs]
[The scene changes to school the next day. Miss Oddbod sees Henry walking to his classroom]
Miss Oddbod: Henry!
Horrid Henry: Oh, what have I done now?
Miss Oddbod: Nothing. I just wanted to say what a lovely day it is. You're moving away, I hear?
Horrid Henry: Yes, I am.
Miss Oddbod: Yes, a really lovely day.
[The scene changes to Miss Battle-Axe's classroom where everyone is having fun. Henry walks in and climbs onto a box]
Horrid Henry: Listen up, I've got some really bad news.
Moody Margaret: Oh, you're not moving after all?
Horrid Henry: No, I am moving. [all the girls celebrate] And I'm selling off my things. So, what I am bid for this genuine school desk? [points to his desk] As once used by the famous Henry.
Moody Margaret: Hah! Who'd wanna buy your smelly desk? It's not even yours.
Horrid Henry: So, do I hear ten pounds?
Miss Battle-Axe: [enters the room] Sit down, all of you! [everyone sits down] So, Henry?
Horrid Henry: [expecting to be punished] Uh, yes, Miss Battle-Axe?
Miss Battle-Axe: You're...leaving us?
Horrid Henry: Yes, Miss Battle-Axe.
Miss Battle-Axe: [calmly] Go to your desk, Henry.
Horrid Henry: Oh. Right. [goes to his desk and sits down, while Miss Battle-Axe hums] Everyone seems really happy to see me go.
[The scene changes to the kitchen later that day]
Mum: Dad and I have decided that we're going to have a big farewell party for the whole family.
Perfect Peter: Ooh, goody! Can I make the invitations?
Mum: Of course you can, Peter. [he gets up and leaves the room] How about you, Henry? Who are you going to invite?
Horrid Henry: Nobody.
Dad: [walks in, home from work] A really nice thing happened at work today. It seems everyone's getting together to buy me a leaving present.
Horrid Henry: Really? [imagines all his friends giving him presents] I've changed my mind. I want all my friends to come to the party! [gets up and runs out of the room, pushing past Peter] Gangway!
[The scene changes to the park, where Aerobic Al, Beefy Bert and Jolly Josh are playing football]
Aerobic Al: Hello, Henry.
Horrid Henry: I just wanted to say how much I'm going to miss you all, my friends.
Aerobic Al: Oh?
Horrid Henry: If only I had something to remember you all by.
Aerobic Al: Like what?
Horrid Henry: [pretends to think] Oh, let me see... how about the new Gross Class Zero game?
Aerobic Al: Well, I suppose we could have a collection.
Horrid Henry: Great! [goes to leave] Oh, and there's a farewell party at my house on Saturday. That would be a good time to give me my leaving present.
[The scene changes to the party on Saturday. The doorbell rings and Peter goes to answer it]
Horrid Henry: Out of my way, worm! This could be my leaving present. [opens the door] Welcome! [sees it's Rich Aunt Ruby and Stuck-Up Steve] Oh it's you. [reluctantly lets them in]
Rich Aunt Ruby: Humph, very nice welcome I'm sure.
Stuck-Up Steve: We want to make sure you're actually leaving.
Horrid Henry: Oh, ha ha. [the doorbell rings again and Henry answers it] Welcome, Gross Class Zero. [sees it's Miss Lovely] Oh, Miss Lovely. [lets her in]
Perfect Peter: Miss Lovely, you came!
Miss Lovely: Yes, and this is for you, Peter. [hands him a present]
Perfect Peter: [takes it] Ooh, thank you, Miss Lovely! [he takes her by the hand and leads her outside]
Horrid Henry: Huh, what a toady toad.
[The doorbell rings three more times, first revealing Big Bob and Bossy Bill, then Prissy Polly, Pimply Paul and Vomiting Vera (who throws up) and finally Great Aunt Greta]
Great Aunt Greta: Hello, Henrietta. [puts her glasses on and walks in]
Horrid Henry: Oh, no. This is gonna be the worst party ever! Where's Ralph with my present? [the doorbell rings again and he answers it, sighing] Welcome to the party. 
[The scene changes to the party in the back garden]
Horrid Henry: [opens the back door] Oh, where's Ralph with my present?
Beefy Bert: Uh, I dunno.
Horrid Henry: Huh, so much for my so-called 'friends'.
Dad: [taps his glass three times and clears his throat] I just wanted to thank you all for coming, and on behalf of the whole family, say how much we'll all miss you.
Horrid Henry: Except me. I won't miss you.
Mum: [through gritted teeth] Don't be horrid, Henry.
Rude Ralph: [arrives] Here you are, Henry. [hands him a present] We all clubbed together. It's something to help you remember us all as you start your new life.
Horrid Henry: Ah, thanks. Maybe I will miss some of you then. [opens the present and sees it is a snow globe containing a figure of Roly Mo] What is this?!
Rude Ralph: It's a snow globe! Look, it snows when you shake it. [demonstrates]
Horrid Henry: Is that it? Nothing else? No Gross Class Zero game?!
Rude Ralph: Uh, no? Sorry, Henry.
Horrid Henry: Oh. I hope my new friends are more generous than you lot.
Dad: That's it, Henry. Go to your room!
Mum: And no TV, or pocket money, or sweets...
Dad: ...ever again!
[The scene changes to the next day, which is moving day. The hallway is now empty except for a few boxes. The doorbell rings and Henry answers it to Ralph]
Rude Ralph: Uh, hello, Henry.
Horrid Henry: Thanks for coming, Ralph. I, uh, I wanted to say, I, uh, well, you know, the other day...
Rude Ralph: [surprised as he thinks Henry's going to say he's sorry] Yes, Henry?
Horrid Henry: ...well, when I said what I said...
Rude Ralph: [even more surprised] Yes, Henry?
Horrid Henry: ...well, I'm...
Perfect Peter: [interrupts them] Gangway! Box of very special bunnies coming through! [laughs]
Horrid Henry: ...I'm [can't bring himself to say the word 'sorry'] you know what I mean, Ralph.
Rude Ralph: Yeah, I do. Well, see you Henry.
Horrid Henry: Yeah. See you, Ralph.
[They high-five one last time. Ralph leaves and Henry closes the front door, then picks up a box from the stairs]
Horrid Henry: [to audience] Just one more thing to do before I go! [laughs]
[The scene changes to Moody Margaret's garden. Henry climbs the ladder and waits outside Margaret's Secret Club tree house]
Horrid Henry: [quietly releases the spiders in the box into the tree house] Off you go, my lovelies! She won't be forgetting me in a hurry!
[The scene changes to the kitchen, with Mum, Dad and Peter at the table. Henry comes in from the back garden]
Mum: Henry, we've got some good news.
Perfect Peter: We're not moving!
Horrid Henry: What? After all that?
Dad: Mr Bob saw how many people came to the party, and said he couldn't take us away from such good friends and neighbours.
Mum: So, we're staying, Henry. Just like you wanted. Are you happy now?
[Margaret is heard screaming next door when she discovers the spiders Henry put in her tree house]
Dad: Are you being horrid, Henry?!
Horrid Henry: [laughs] You bet I am!
[Margaret continues screaming and Henry continues laughing, ending the episode]
