Rhonda quotes from Hey Arnold!

Well! As you know, tomorrow is your mother's birthday, and I wanted to show you the fun-tastic gift I bought her.

[giggles]

It's a genuine Moscow mink.

(sighs contentedly)

Yes, I can't wait to see Mother's face light up tomorrow whenever we give it to her at her birthday party.

Oh, Dad, it's exquisite. Just so, so lovely.

Don't peep a word to her about this rare pelt. Well! It's school time for you, Rhonda, dear. Now, give Daddy a kiss, as I, too, must dash.

Rhonda

Imagine me, wearing that magnificent coat. Do I dare? Oh, it's drop dead gorgeous. Perhaps I can wear this coat to the art show at school. Dad will never know. I'll sneak the mink in the bag into school, and sneak it back home and into the closet. What can go wrong?

Curly

Oh, you pretty princess. Your mink is so soft, so inviting...

Rhonda

Ugh, get away from me, you freak!

Curly

Tonight's our night, Rhonda. I can feel it in the air!

Rhonda

Listen, you slimy piece of ick. I don't like you! So stop touching my coat with your grimy hands!

Curly

I just want to be closer to you, Rhonda. I want to be your boyfriend.

Rhonda

Boyfriend? I will never, ever have anything to do with you, Curly, ever!

Curly

Here's the deal: Curly cleans the fur, and you, Rhonda, all you have to do is pretend to be Curly's girlfriend for a week.

Rhonda

Gross! No way, absolutely not!

Curly

You want a clean fur, don't you? It's either Curly, or facing your parents with a red-stained coat.

Rhonda

What do I have to do?

Curly

After you get the clean mink to your parents, you put on a good show at school that you're my girl, til' 3:00. on Friday.

Rhonda

9:00.

Curly

2:00.

Rhonda

10:00.

Curly

12 noon.

Rhonda

Deal. [They shake hands] 12 noon, I get to dump you?

Curly

Sure, Friday at noon. That is, if you haven't fallen completely in love with me by then.

Rhonda

As if.

Curly

So let's review. When I say "Rhonda, my love", you say "Yes, Cutie Pie". And when I do this...[rubs his hair]

Rhonda

I know. I say "You and me, baby, you and me forever."

Curly

Good, good. And throw in a lot of "you sweet thing" and "how can I deny our love" and "Curly, I'm so lucky to be your girl".

Rhonda

[Groans] My life is over.

Curly

Come on, Sweetie. You'll see by the end of the week that I'll grow on you, and you'll want to be my girlfriend.

Curly

I have a special present for you that I want you to wear.

Rhonda

There is no way I'm wearing that shirt. [Next frame, Rhonda is wearing a shirt which has "Curly's Girl" written on it] I can't believe I'm wearing this shirt.

Rhonda

Is this seat taken?

I'm afraid you'll have to find some other seat. I don't sit with no heartbreaking harpies.

Rhonda

Oh, please. Now we're supposed to feel sorry for Curly?

Helga

Criminy, what a pathetic display.

Phoebe

I'm afraid I have to agree, Helga.

Helga

Guess Miss Rich and Fancy over there really did a number on him.

Rhonda

May I borrow the black paint, Helga?

Helga

Perfect. It'll match the color of your heart. [Holds up a paper plate with a black heart painted on it]

Rhonda

Excuse me?

Helga

You heard me, Cruella.

Rhonda

Unbelievable!

Curly

So how about giving me a lock of your hair to keep under my pillow?

Rhonda

Ugh, that is unbelievably GROSS!

Curly

Is it? Or does it thrill you?

Rhonda

Stop! You're crazy! Get away from me!

Rhonda

Should we do our own make up, or will the crew do it?

Do your own.

Rhonda

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.

Phoebe

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?

Phoebe

Don't mind if I do. The iron may give me energy when I accept my award this afternoon. [chomps] Mmm, delicious!

Now, who could come up to our beautiful and special chart of the Human Digestive Tract, and tell me which organ is the Small Intestine, and which is the Colon? How about you, Rhonda?

Rhonda

Gosh, Mr. Simmons, maybe you ought to ask Phoebe instead, you know, since she's the "Digestion Expert."

Now, class, I know you all may think what happened to Phoebe yesterday is amusing, but I assure you, it is not. The expulsion of gas is just a perfectly natural part of our body's very special digestion cycle. It's nothing to poke fun at, and nothing to be ashamed of. Now, Rhonda, please, come up to the front of the room, and point out the correct organs on the fart. [everyone laughs once more] No, wait, "chart." I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I meant "chart."
