Transcript:Horrid Henry's Hobby

[The episode starts with Henry looking in the Sweet Tweet box for the gizmo inside]
Horrid Henry: Be a gold gizmo! Please be gold! Be gold, gold, gold! [Peter, holding his books, comes into the kitchen and notices Henry trying to get the gizmo. He looks surprised] I want gold! I need gold!
Perfect Peter: No! [trips on Henry's leg and drops the books]
Horrid Henry: Out of my way, worm. 
[Henry and Peter fight over the Sweet Tweets box while Mum comes in]
Perfect Peter: Mum!
Mum: [sighs] Don't be horrid, Henry.
Perfect Peter: [falls to the ground] It's my turn to get the gizmo from the cereal! [starts crying]
[Mum notices Henry taking out the cereal to get the gizmo. She goes to Henry and takes the cereal box, then gives it to Peter]
Horrid Henry: That is so not fair, it might be gold. We'll just have to get another box, right now.
Mum: Uh, no. [opens the cupboard] Not until you finish these three. [closes the cupboard]
Horrid Henry: But I want a...
Perfect Peter: [notices a gold gizmo] Oh, my! It's a gold gizmo!
Horrid Henry: What?! [bangs the table, sending the cereal flying] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[Title card shows]
[In the school playground, everyone is comparing their gizmos]
Rude Ralph: I got blue.
Singing Soraya: Green!
Anxious Andrew: Uh, yellow?
Rude Ralph: Bert?
Beefy Bert: [shows his black gizmo] Uh, I dunno.
Rude Ralph: It's black, like the hole in your brain! [laughs]
Greedy Graham: [to Margaret] What gizmo did you get?
Moody Margaret: Um, actually, I got silver! [she shows her silver gizmo and everyone gasps]
Rude Ralph: No way!
Horrid Henry: Huh, that's nothing! I got gold.
Singing Soraya: Never!
Anxious Andrew: You're so lucky.
Singing Soraya: Is it beautiful? Can we see it?
Horrid Henry: Wow, a boy with a gold gizmo could do anything!
[Henry imagines himself arriving at Buckingham Palace in a limousine to cheering crowds. He gets out of the limo and the Queen comes running down the steps to the palace, asking: 'Where is it?'. In reality, it's Margaret asking: 'Where is it?']
Moody Margaret: Where is it?!
Horrid Henry: Uh... it's at home. I don't want to bring it to school, do I? It might get stolen.
Anxious Andrew: My lunchbox was stolen once.
Moody Margaret: Rubbish. You haven't got a gold gizmo, Henry, and you know it. [Henry takes Bert's chocolate bar] If you had one, you'd be showing it off.
Singing Soraya: Come on, Henry, show us. Show us! Show us! [everyone else apart from Henry joins in]
(everyone together) Show us! Show us! Show us! Show us!
Horrid Henry: Okay, okay. Tomorrow, and you're all going to look pretty stupid when you see it.
Moody Margaret: Ha! We'll be waiting.
Horrid Henry: [takes his bag and starts walking] Hmmm, this is going to take something mega clever.
[The scene shows Peter polishing his gold gizmo. Henry opens the door]
Horrid Henry: Chess set. Marbles. Uh, coin collection...
Perfect Peter: What are you doing?
Horrid Henry: Just seeing what I want when you're gone. I'm really sorry about the gold gizmo.
Perfect Peter: Why? Everybody wants a gold one.
Horrid Henry: But, what about the curse?
Perfect Peter: What curse?
Horrid Henry: It's been in all the papers. Every single person who's got a gold gizmo, dies a horrible death.
Perfect Peter: That's not true.
Horrid Henry: It is. Didn't you see about that girl? She got a gold gizmo. And, she fell down the toilet and drowned.
[The girl screams as she and her gold gizmo are sucked into the toilet]
Horrid Henry: Then, that was the boy who was out with his gold gizmo and his dog. [a flashback shows the boy walking his dog. They then fall into the lava] And they fell right into a pit of molten lava! [Peter jumps] And all because of the curse of the gold gizmo. [Henry sees Ralph on the driveway with the slime and signals to him] Oh, no, I saw it! The giant flying curse bird of tragedy. It's a sign that you are doomed!
Perfect Peter: I am not doomed. [the slime splats on the window. Peter screams] I'm doomed! I don't want to die! [falls to his knees]
Horrid Henry: Well, if you give the gold gizmo to someone else, the curse passes to them. I suppose I could take the risk. I know you'd risk your life for me.
Perfect Peter: [gives Henry his gold gizmo] Henry, you're the best brother in the world.
Horrid Henry: [laughs] Easy-peasy!
[The scene changes to Henry's room]
Perfect Peter: [opens the door] Margaret's here, Lord High Majesty.
Moody Margaret: I can't wait till tomorrow. If you really have got one, I want to see it. Now.
Horrid Henry: [yawns] Peter, I'll some crisps, some chocolate, and then even more chocolate.
Perfect Peter: [writes down Henry's 'order'] Right away! [to Margaret] My big brother's so brave!
Moody Margaret: [shoos Peter away] Yeah yeah, whatever. [to Henry] So, where is it? [Henry shows the gold gizmo to Margaret. She gasps] It's beautiful. I want it.
Horrid Henry: No way, a gold gizmo is everything. I'm not giving it up.
Moody Margaret: I'll get you a double drencher.
Horrid Henry: A 3000?
Moody Margaret: If you like.
Horrid Henry: Brand new?
Moody Margaret: In the box.
Horrid Henry: You're on.
Moody Margaret: Tomorrow?
Horrid Henry: At school.
Moody Margaret: Be there! [leaves the room and takes a crisp from Peter's bowl]
Horrid Henry: Tomorrow's gonna be a good day.
[The scene changes to Henry's classroom at school. Margaret places the Double Drencher 3000, and Henry places a gold gizmo. Margaret then snatches the gizmo. Henry takes the Double Drencher 3000 and leaves the room laughing]
Moody Margaret: [notices the 'gold' gizmo was just a blue one that had been painted gold] Oh? HENRY! You cheated!
Horrid Henry: [gulps] Did you really think I was giving up a gold gizmo just for a Double Drencher 3000? I want a better offer! [Margaret gives Henry the fake gold gizmo back and snatches the Double Drencher 3000] On Monday, you can all bring your best swaps and I'll see if any are good enough. [leaves the room, whistling]
[The scene changes back to Henry's house. Henry enters the kitchen and tries to open the cupboard, but the door is locked. He looks for the key and finds it under the toaster]
Horrid Henry: Don't know why Mum bothers. You can't lock up the key. [opens the cupboard and takes out a chocolate cake. He cuts a slice, then starts eating the rest of the cake instead] Two more days and we clean up. [laughs]
Mum: [catches Henry eating the chocolate cake] Henry, what do you think you're doing?
Horrid Henry: Having a bedtime snack?
Perfect Peter: [comes running in] Oh, Henry! I don't want you to die! [falls at Henry's feet and shakes his leg]
Horrid Henry: [pushes Peter away] Get off.
Perfect Peter: Don't die! Please, don't die! [sobs]
Mum: Peter, what's the matter?
Perfect Peter: The gold gizmo, it's cursed! And Henry took it so I'd be safe, but now he's going to die!
Mum: [doesn't believe Peter] Henry, how could you be so horrid? Give Peter back his gizmo, or there'll be no TV for a week.
Horrid Henry: But I need it for my auction!
Mum: HENRY!
Horrid Henry: I WANT A GOLD GIZMO!
[The scene changes to the next morning. Henry runs downstairs and into the kitchen and takes a box of Sweet Tweets from the cupboard]
Horrid Henry: Right. [attempts to wash the cereal down the sink, but is caught by Mum]
Mum: Henry!
[Henry takes another box of Sweet Tweets from the cupboard. He digs a hole in the garden and pours the cereal in, but is caught by Dad]
Dad: Henry!
Horrid Henry: What do you have to do to be alone around here?
[In the kitchen, Mum and Peter are writing a shopping list. Henry comes in through the back door]
Mum: Spaghetti, condensed milk, baked beans... [she sees Henry] Oh, Henry, I'm going to the supermarket. Do you want anything?
Horrid Henry: You can't go! Not yet.
Mum: Why not?
Horrid Henry: Because, I want to go with you. But I can't go until...until... [Henry takes the last box of Sweet Tweets from the cupboard and hides it behind his back] until I've cleaned my room.
Mum: You want to clean your room? [laughs] I can wait for that.
[In his room, Henry pours all the Sweet Tweets into the hoover]
Horrid Henry: Yes! Mum, we've run out of Sweet Tweets! We need to get more!
[The scene changes to the supermarket. Henry runs up and down the aisles with the trolley]
Mum: Henry! Stop!
Horrid Henry: I have to get the Sweet Tweets.
Mum: All right, but just one box.
Horrid Henry: [runs down another aisle and stops at the Sweet Tweet boxes stacked in a pyramid] Oh, yes! [rips open a box and takes out the blue gizmo and growls disapprovingly] Oh, come on! [throws the blue gizmo aside] Which one... which one... [sees the box at the very top of the stack] that one! Yeah. [climbs the stack of Sweet Tweet boxes to get to the top one. He opens it and takes out the gold gizmo] Gotcha! [the tower collapses and Henry falls to the floor] Whoa!
Manager: [comes running to investigate the noise and sees the mess] Whose horrid boy is this?
Mum: Henry!
[The scene changes back to Henry's house. Henry is sitting at the kitchen table staring at the pile of gizmos while being told off by Mum and Dad]
Mum: Barred from the supermarket!
Dad: Not to mention that we had to buy every box in the store - that's no TV for a month! And we'll be reassessing your pocket money, downwards!
Mum: Now go to your room and stay there! [Henry goes to leave the kitchen, but before he opens the door, he looks at the three gold gizmos in his hand and smiles at the audience] Oh, the humiliation.
Dad: [looks at the gizmos on the table] What'll we do with these? We can't let Henry have them.
Mum: No, we can't. But I know exactly who to give them to.
[The next day, Henry arrives at school with his gold gizmo]
Horrid Henry: I hope you brought your best. What do you want to give me... for this? 
[Henry shows them his gold gizmo. Andrew, Bert, Soraya, Margaret, Linda, Ralph, and Graham all take out gold gizmos and start laughing at Henry] 
Horrid Henry: Huh? [looks at their gold gizmos] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
