So, did my parents go back to their village after that?
[sarcastically] No, you all lived in a temple surrounded by hot, boiling lava. But where did they go to the bathroom? Yet another mystery.

[after reading about Arnold's birth]
So, did my parents go back to their village after that?
[sarcastically] No, you all lived in a temple surrounded by hot, boiling lava. But where did they go to the bathroom? Yet another mystery.
Arnold, are you thinking what I think you're thinking?
I don't know. What do you think I'm thinking?
But we have to do something, we can't just stay in here forever.
Sure we can, these guys did. [points at two dead corpses]
But they're dead.
What's your point?
Are you okay, Helga?
Oh I'm just peachy. My dad's joining some wacky spiritual group, brain-washed Miriam and Olga and is planning to take us all to Oregon to live in a hut, out in nature to sing songs and eat bark.
Prune cookies? Are you kidding?
My Grandma puts them in everything she bakes.
Whillikers, Arnold, I reckon prunes is just about the nastiest cookie flavor around.
Actually, prunes are enjoyed the world over by people of all ages, and despite their rather unpleasant appearance, they're really quite tasty. Not to mention, an excellent source of iron and a wonderful implement of dietary regulation.
Here, Phoebe, why don'tcha just take them?
Don't mind if I do. The iron may give me energy when I accept my award this afternoon. [chomps] Mmm, delicious!
What just happened — it's no big deal. I'm sure it happens all the time. And in fact, I bet there's not one single person we know that doesn't have an embarrassing fart story.
Well! Have you ever done it in public, Arnold? You know, pass gas?
No, not exactly. I mean, not into a microphone...
Then how can you possibly understand the utter humiliation of what I've just experienced?!
Look here, Phoebe, I know things may seem pretty bad right now, but trust me. By tomorrow, everyone may have forgotten all about what just happened.
Really?
I'm positive.
Maybe you're right, Arnold. Perhaps, by tomorrow, everyone may have forgotten about my little... indiscretion.
Arnold? What are you doing here?
Why, I was thinking about what a rough day you had, and I just want to make so sure that everything is OK.
Why, I'm just fine.
Really? That's good to hear!
Yup. Ever since I decided that I am never to go back to P.S. 118, I've been doing just great.
Never to go back to P.S. 118? Phoebe, don't you think you are overreacting?
No, Arnold. I think I'm being perfectly rational, considering the circumstances.
Come on, Phoebe, you know you can't run away from this farting thing.
Sorry, Arnold. I've made up my mind. As long as the other students continue to regard me as a gas-passer, I'm afraid I have no other choice than to turn the other cheek. So, no pun intended.
[sighs deeply]
[Telling the class about Phoebe] ...And she's so embarrassed and upset that she's never coming back to P.S. 118. [Class murmurs]
Thank you, Arnold, for bringing this very serious issue to our attention. [sighs] Now, people, one of our own classmates is in trouble, and it's up to us to help her through her crisis. I think we should all go over to Phoebe's after school, and tell her that she has nothing to be embarrassed about. I think we should tell her that we love her and care for her, and if she comes back to school, we'll all forget about her little incident, and never talk about it again! What do you say?! [class remains silent] Okay, if we pull this off, then, tomorrow's Movie Day.
HOORAY! YEAH!
