Transcript:Horrid Henry Goes to Work

Mum: It's your turn!
Dad: Yours!
Mum: Yours, I did it last year!
Dad: Are you sure?
Mum: [chuckles] Do you think I would ever forget?
Horrid Henry: Tomorrow is Take Your Kid To Work Day, and neither of them wants to take a worm like you.
Perfect Peter: Mum! Henry says that you and Dad don't want to take me to work!
Mum: Don't be horrid, Henry! [gives tea set to Henry] And take these into the kitchen and leave your poor brother alone.
Horrid Henry: [sighs and leaves the room while Dad pats Peter, then enters the kitchen] The best thing about Take Your Kid To Work Day is you get a day off school. The worst thing is that Mum and Dad have really boring jobs. Why couldn't Mum be a famous scientist? [imagines about him and Mum making a potion. It turns into a pink monster and Henry and Mum huddle, trying to protect themselves. Imagination ends with the tea set broken] Oops! [imagines again with Dad and Henry going to work. The monster appears and they both use a grappling hook as they are like superheroes]
Dad: Clean up this mess, Henry. You're coming to work with me tomorrow and I want you to be on your best behaviour.
Horrid Henry: Great! Can I play computer games, and surf the net, and play computer games?
Dad: Henry, I work for Tingly Toothbrushes. We sell toothbrushes and toothpaste. You're be filing and photocopying.
Horrid Henry: No way!
Dad: And, if you're lucky, you might get to pack toothpaste tubes into boxes.
Horrid Henry: Not me. I'm not going.
Dad: Of course you're going. It'll do you good to see what it's like to work.
Horrid Henry: NO!!! I don't want to go to WORK!!!!!!!!!!
[Title card appears]
[Dad and Henry enter Tingly Toothbrushes. Inside, they wait for the elevator door to open]
Horrid Henry: I think Dad's really going to like having me going to work with him. Loads better than having stinky Peter.
[elevator door opens, Dad and Henry walk inside]
Dad: It'll be fine, it'll be fine... [Henry stares at the alarm button] It'll be really, really, fine... [Henry was about to press the alarm button] Henry, not that one! [Henry presses the alarm button] Oh! [a spark circles on the elevator door] This is not a good start, Henry. Nowhere near good. You've already been horrid and we're not even at my desk yet.
Horrid Henry: But, Dad, we're being cut out by firefighters. This is great!
Dad: An office is a place where people come to work, not to muck about. I want perfect behaviour. My boss is very strict, so don't let me down, eh?
Horrid Henry: Dad, you can count on me. [kicks the cut out circle of door. It lands on Big Bob's foot]
Big Bob: Oh! Ow! [points at his watch] You're late. Bad start. Bob knows best and late people and great people.
Dad: Sorry, Bob Sir, I, umm... hit the alarm button by accident.
Horrid Henry: Dad just told a fib! Hmm. This is just like school!
Dad: Henry, this is Bob, my boss. And, you have to do everything he tells you. And, this is Bill, his son.
Bossy Bill: And, you have to do what I say, too.
Big Bob: Welcome to my Brush and Paste Empire, young Henry. [shakes Henry's hand] We aim to have a foaming brush in every mouth in the land. So, take this day by the scruff of the neck, little laddie. Listen and learn. And, one day, you too could take orders from me.
Horrid Henry: I'll try my best, sir, Bob Sir. I promise to listen and learn.
Big Bob: [ruffles Henry's hair, Dad looks shocked] I like you, young Henry. I wish more young men wanted to be like me. Tell you what? You can be my son's partner for the day. [Henry pushes Bill] I expect my boy Bill to take toothpaste into the future. Watch him like a hawk, Henry. My boy is the future.
Dad: You heard Bob Sir, Henry? Do everything he says and everything Bill says.
Horrid Henry: Yes, sir. Uh, Bob Sir.
Big Bob: [claps] Meeting in the board room in five. All hands-on deck. First task, boys: make the tea, serve the tea. And remember, I could be watching you.
Dad: Remember, Henry. Do everything they say.
[Henry and Bill look at each other]
Horrid Henry: Oh! We have to make all these?
Bossy Bill: Are you kidding? I got better things to do than listen to Dad give orders. [turns the camera]
Horrid Henry: Great! What will we do instead?
Bossy Bill: You don't get it, do you? You make the tea, I watch you.
Horrid Henry: No way!
Bossy Bill: If you don't do what I say, my dad will fire your dad. So, get making, bucket brain. [Henry makes the tea while Bill relaxes] Good. Now, I order you to put this stuff in the tea.
Horrid Henry: [emits pink particles with Dad telling him to do everything he says] Well, if that's an order.
[Henry and Bill put ketchup and mustard in the tea, then serves it to the company]
Gordon's Dad: [drinks the tea] Well done!
Elderly woman: [drinks the tea] Lovely tea, Bill!
[everyone else coughs and splutters after drinking the tea]
Dad: [drinks the tea] Umm... thank you, Henry.
Big Bob: [drinks the tea, then spits it out, making Henry and Bill laugh] This tea's been tampered with! Who did this?
[everyone stares at Henry and Bill]
Bossy Bill: It was Henry, Dad. I tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen.
Horrid Henry: But he told me to! And you said I have to do everything he told me to do!
Big Bob: No excuses. You should keep your son under more control. You need to learn what hard work is, Henry. I want you both down in the packaging department, now!
[Henry and Bill go to the packing department]
Horrid Henry: I'll get you for this, snot brain.
Bossy Bill: No, you won't. Because my dad is the boss. And there's nothing you can do about it.
Horrid Henry: Huh! [Bill turns the camera to face him while he's working] You better help me, or I'll quit.
Bossy Bill: Dead or not. You'll get into trouble again. And you're not working fast enough. [turns the lever to increase the speed the toothpaste moves, then Henry makes a mess] Ah, look at that. Dad needs to waste toothpaste more than anything. He's going to be really angry. [turns the lever to stop toothpaste moving. He picks up some toothpaste and sprays it on Henry] Gotcha!
[Henry turns into an octopus and sprays toothpaste on Bill]
Dad: Don't be horrid, Henry!
Bossy Bill: [runs to Big Bob] I tried to stop him, Dad, but he won't listen to me. [points at Henry for him to see, then Henry sighs]
[Scene shows the meeting room]
Big Bob: This is disgraceful behaviour, Henry. Totally unacceptable. If I was your real boss, you'd be sacked.
Dad: I am so ashamed of you.
Bossy Bill: [wipes toothpaste off his face] He's trouble, Dad, and not the sort of person I would employ when I take over this company.
Big Bob: I know, son. But, you have to understand some children don't have your quality upbringing. [gives Henry paper] I will give you one last chance, Henry. Son, take Henry to the photocopier and show him how to copy these documents for me. And, Henry?
Horrid Henry: I know, Bob Sir. I'll have to watch Bill and learn.
[Scene shows the photocopier room with Bill turning the camera]
Horrid Henry: This snotty snivelling snot needs to be caught doing something really, really, bad. But what? [stares at the printer] EUREKA! THAT'S IT! Hey, Bill, I've just had a really good idea! Why don't we copy something horrid, and then hang the pictures all over the office?
Bossy Bill: Like what?
Horrid Henry: [chuckles] It's a bit rude. [whispers in Bill's ear]
Bossy Bill: Great idea! Me first!
Horrid Henry: No, me first!
Bossy Bill: I'm the boss. And, the boss always goes first.
Horrid Henry: Of course! You know best, Bill Sir. Yes! [turns the camera to face Bill, and he photocopies his bottom]
Big Bob: We must convince the nation, and then the entire world, that a day without toothpaste is like– [everyone else laughs after they see Bill photocopying his bottom] Erm, did I say something funny?
Dad: [coughs] No, Bob Sir. We would never laugh at you.
Big Bob: [turns around and sees the bottom being photocopied] WHAT?!
[Bossy Bill continues to photocopy his bottom while Big Bob and Dad comes in. Dad takes a sheet of paper and sees that it has Bill's bottom]
Bossy Bill: [sings] One bottom two bottoms three bottoms, four! [Bob scrunches and rips the paper while angry] Five bottoms six bottoms seven bottoms, more!
Big Bob: Bill! What are you doing?
Bossy Bill: Ummm... It was Henry.
[Bob looks at Henry]
Horrid Henry: I... I... I don't know why he's saying that, Bob Sir. I'm afraid I told him not to, Bob Sir. But, he just wouldn't listen to me, Bob Sir. Uh, Sir.
Big Bob: [points at Bill] How dare you? You've made me a laughing-stock in front of my entire company! You're not the son I thought you were. Go home. I'll deal with you later.
Bossy Bill: But, Dad?
Big Bob: No buts! I think we've had enough of those. [Bill leaves while Henry and Dad both give a thumbs up] Obviously, I was a little hasty in blaming your son.
Dad: Boys will be boys, Bob. No matter the quality of their upbringing.
Big Bob: Well, young Henry, I think for the rest of the day, you can, umm, amuse yourself.
Horrid Henry: Yes, sir. Uh, Bob Sir. All right!
[Scene shows the computer room with Henry playing a computer game in which the monster is defeated in-game]
Horrid Henry: Yes! I could ask Mum or Dad if I can leave school early. Having a job is really cool! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! [hits Dad making him fall]
Dad: Ooh!
[Henry laughs]
