"The Biggest Joke and Prank of All Times" transcript

Stick Stickly: "And now, back to *Hey Arnold!*, right here, on Nickelodeon 2.0"

## Scene 1: The PS 118 School lunch room

Phoebe: "I wonder what could be keeping Harold."

Arnold: "Look, you guys, here he comes right now."

Harold: "Hey, you guys, how's it going?"

Gerald: "Pretty good, Harold, but would you mind scootin' down to the other end."

Harold: "Why sure, you guys, hey, Sid, are you saving that for somebody?"

Sid: "I have just the thing for when Curly gets here."

Stinky: "Look, here comes Curly right now."

Curly arrives at their lunch table.

Arnold: "Hey, Curly, how's it going?"

Curly: "Okay, I guess, is it alright if I join you guys?"

Gerald: "Why sure, Curly, how 'bout you go sit right next to Sid over there."

Curly: "Alright, it wouldn't hurt to try."

Curly sits right next to Sid, who holds up a snake in a jar prank that he got from the Hillwood Joke Shop.

Sid: "Hey, Curly, would you care for some twisted cheese puffs?"

Curly: "Why sure, don't mind if I do."

Curly is about to open the red jar.

Sid: "Oh boy, this is gonna be super thrilling."

Suddenly, a blue rubber snake pops right outta the red jar and startles Curly in shock.

Curly: AAAAAAAAAAAAH! "A blue snake in a red jar, I'll get you for this, Sid Patterson, mark my words!"

Rhonda: "This prank is ***like*** totally radical."

## Scene 2: The PS 118 School playground

Arnold: "That was the greatest prank in history, Sid."

Helga: "Yeah right, you're super thrilling."

Gerald: "You're much better than Wolfgang and Edmund."

Sid: "I know, I'm the master of jokes and pranks around here."

Toby Wartz (off screen): "Sid Patterson, are you the 1 with the pranks?"

Sid: (looking at Mr. Simmons and Principal Wartz standing by) "Yes, Mr. Simmons and Principal Wartz, I am."

Toby Wartz: "That does it, young prince of pranks, it's my office for you, let's go."

Robert Simmons and Toby Wartz are now taking Sid to Toby Wartz's office.

Sid: "But, you guys, you don't understand, it was just a joke and prank, it's no big deal."

Sid is now taken to Toby Wartz's office.

Eugene: "You guys, we gotta do something about it, pranking other students and faculty members can be an automatic level for detention."

Phoebe: "Oh relax, Eugene, how can they possibly punish Sid for playing a prank he thought about?"

### Inside Toby Wartz's office

Sid: "Okay, so I played that snake in a jar prank on Curly and I thought there was some twisted cheese puffs, but it's no big deal anyhow."

Toby Wartz: "Now, Sid Patterson, I don't need to constantly remind you that we can't have any pranks in PS 118."

Sid: "I know, Principal Wartz, but it was just outta control."

Toby Wartz: "That does it, Sid, I have no other choice but to give you detention level 12."

Sid: "Oh boy, here we go again."

### Outside the PS 118 School building

Arnold: "12:47 PM?"

Gerald: "Man, how long are they keepin' him in there?"

Phoebe: "Look, here he comes right now."

Robert Simmons and Toby Wartz walk right out with Sid, who's outta detention.

Robert Simmons: "Now we hope you learned your lesson, Sid."

Toby Wartz: "And from now on, your pranks are officially forbidden."

Mr. Simmons and Principal Wartz go back inside the PS 118 School building.

Helga: "Were they strict and harsh on you, Sid?"

Phoebe: "did they let you do all of your homework?"

Eugene: "or go to the washroom?"

Sid: "Yes, of course, you guys, but a trip to the young men's washroom came right back what they took away from me?"

Harold: "Well then, Sid, what did they take?"

Sid: "They took away my pranks, they made them into something ugly and crazy, well most kids can play that game."

Phoebe: "What exactly do you mean, Sid?"

Sid: "You guys, I got a perfectly good plan."

Meanwhile with Jack Wittenberg and the basketball teams.......

Jack Wittenberg: "Alright, team players, here's the super thrilling part: let's name our basketball teams."

Torvald: "Alright, Coach Wittenberg, we're gonna be the Wild Cats."

Jack Wittenberg: "Very clever, Torvald, now how 'bout you, Gerald?"

Gerald: "Look out, Wild Cats, here comes the joy buzzer."

Torvald is about to shake Gerald's right hand, but something suddenly happens.

[Loud Zap!]

Torvald: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Jack Wittenberg: [Blows Signal Whistle] "Gerald Martin Johanssen, that prank is off limits, you know that, Principal Wartz's office, pronto!"

Gerald leaves to go to Toby Wartz's office.

Sid: "It's just begun already."

### The PS 118 School lunch room

Harold: "This is gonna be super thrilling."

Harold aims for his target and a little bowl of banana cream pudding lands right on Wolfgang's head.

Toby Wartz takes Harold all the way down to his office.

### Robert Simmons' 6th grade classroom

Helga: "This joke and prank will be mostly perfect."

Helga pushes a green button and a water bomb splashes Brainy in his face.

Robert Simmons: "Oh! Helga! oh dear, now I need to send you to Principal Wartz's office."

Helga walks all the way down to Toby Wartz's office.

### Inside Toby Wartz's office

Toby Wartz: "Oh geez, you and your crazy pranks, you kids should be ashamed of yourselves."

Sid: "You see? I'm terribly sorry, it was just a prank, it'll never happen again."

Robert Simmons: "Thanks a bunch, Sid, for making that super big promise to everybody in PS 118 and all of Hillwood,"

Arnold: "and we promise not to play any pranks on other students or faculty members again."

Gerald: "Now to go back home for the weekend."

Lila: "I could use a bit of relaxation right now,"

Sheena: "And I could use a real nice vacation myself lately."

Fade to another black screen.......
