Miriam quotes from Hey Arnold!

Miriam

[when she hears about Olga getting married] No, Olga! Don't make the same mistake I made!

Miriam

Helga? The door's locked, honey, what are you doing in there?

Helga

Nothing.

Miriam

Oh... okay.

Helga

Did you happen to see a collection of seemingly useless junk randomly arranged behind a curtain in my closet for no apparent reason?

Miriam

Ah huh, dear. I threw it all out.

Helga

WHAT?!

Big Bob

[about Olga] She can't be moping all day.

Miriam

Yes she can... I do.

Uh, Mr. Green. I brought someone to help you.

Mr. Green

Oh, no. No, Harold. I already told you, you're in more trouble than you were. You couldn't possibly be any help.

Miriam

Uh, Mr. Blue.

Mr. Green

It's Green.

Miriam

Where are my briskets?

Mr. Green

I told you, we're out of briskets!

Helga

Oh man, this guy's a total liar! If Olga marries him, her life will be ruined... Perfect!

Bob

So what's the stinkin' rush all about? get married in a year, if you still want to.

Miriam

You won't want to.

Olga

Mummy, Daddy, please don't be harsh.

It's okay, darling, your parents just need time to adjust.

Bob

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you little twist top, Big Bob Pataki doesn't adjust, you got it?

Helga

Daddy, it's not fair to have Olga choose between her true love and us.

Olga

[tearfully] Helga's right, Daddy, you're being an awful brute, and Mummy, you're not even trying to like Doug. I am so miserable. [runs off crying and weeping to her bedroom]

Helga

If I play my cards right I can get rid of Olga for good.

Helga

Mom, please tell me you didn’t leave your purse on top of the car again!

Miriam

Helga, you know, I think that that is exactly what happened.

Miriam

[Through the door] Helga, who are you talking to, honey?

Helga

No one! Just my...uh...imaginary friend.

Miriam

Okay, I'll set another place at breakfast.

Helga

Great, Mom, great.

Great, Mom, great.

Helga

Are you mocking me?

[Quoting Helga's poem] Why must I worship you and never ever tell?

Helga

Trust me, you won't live long enough to tell.

Big Bob

Not everyone is dressing like you?

Miriam

[dressed as Helga] Look, everyone, I'm the it girl.

Helga

I'm late for school and no one made my lunch.

Miriam

Oh, yeah, I did, honey, I put it out for you... it's... it's around here somewhere... [opens oven door] ...Oh, here it is!

Helga

Moist towelettes, an individual packet of crackers and... a can of shaving cream?

Miriam

How did that get in there? Uh-oh, uh-oh, that must mean the cheese fizz is in B's medicine cabinet.

Big Bob

[exclaims] How am I supposed to run a beeper empire with my face smelling like hickory smoked cheddar, Miriam?!
