Give me your purse, Granny!
He can have it. It's just a purse, you know.
[on a camping trip, Grandpa is showing Arnold and Gerald survival skills. Gerald is eating red berries. Arnold is eating green berries]
Now remember, only do this under adult supervision. Red and sweet are good to eat, but I swear by this sonnet, green will make you vomit.
[swallows] I thought it was green and sweet are good to eat.
No, I've been saying it all morning. Red and sweet. Red and sweet.
Excuse me a minute. [Arnold runs off screen and vomits]
[sarcastically] You're vomiting, aren't you, Arnold?
Everything in nature is beautiful. Unless it's ugly.
[On a hike through the woods]
Ugh! Now the sun's going down. It's getting kind of cool up here. I think I should turn off this mis... [Turns knob and it explodes, sending Bob into a tree. Helga, Phoebe, Gerald, and Arnold ran up to Bob.]
Are you okay, Mr. Pataki?
Am I okay?! LOOK AT ME! The food's gone, my neck's burn, the mister doesn't work, and to top it all off — WE'RE LOST!
Lost?! I thought you knew where we were!
I've been lost ever since we saw those signs in Spanish.
[after the pathfinder breaks]
Cheap piece of junk. I'll sell thousands of them.
[using his instincts] Camp, should be right... there! [the group cheers happily] But we've got to follow this path around because...
Forget the path, kid! Camp's right there! [runs through the tall bushes alone and back into the camp cheering to himself]
I was just going to say, because that's poison ivy.
So I hear you got a package for that secret guy, Mr. Smith.
Yeah, and I alone have been shouldered with the weighty responsibility of it's safety.
Cool, let's open it.
But Suzie, where am I going to sleep?
[Suzie throws sleeping bag and teddy bear at Oskar]
Arnold, I can't believe how handsome you're getting, the way your body's growing to match the unusual shape of your head.

[about to bet Arnold's CD player during a poker game] Don't worry, Arnold, there's no way I can lose. [next frame] I can't believe I lost.
OKOskar Kokoshka
You keep the money.
SKSuzie Kokoshka
What did you say?
OKOskar Kokoshka
You keep the money.
SKSuzie Kokoshka
Oh, Oskar! That's the most beautiful thing you've ever said to me.

"You keep the money"?
[to Arnold] What you did, that's the real meaning of Christmas, man.
Many years ago, I lived in another country, far away. I was a young man with a family. A beautiful baby girl, I call her Mai. I was the luckiest man in the world. At night, I used to dream about our future together. To watch Mai grow up and go to school. To see her be happy. But there was trouble in my country. There was a war in the North, and every day, the fighting was coming closer and closer. I knew this would not be a good place for my child to grow up. I could not keep her safe, maybe not even have enough food for her to eat. So I decided we must try to get out. We must try to find a better life. Everyone was trying to get out. Everywhere, there was confusion. Somehow, I got through. The only way out of the city was by helicopter. There were too many people. I begged the soldier "Please! Please take us! Help us find a new life!", but he could not. He said there was only room for one of us. Then, I had to make the most difficult decision of my life. I knew I had to do the best thing for Mai. I knew if I gave Mai to the soldier, they would take care of her. They would find a home for her, and then, as soon as I could, I would get out of the country and find her again. As the helicopter left, the soldier called out the name of a city.
Pass the ball to Tucker!
Excellent pass to Tucker, Arnold — You don't even have to dribble, just pass it to Tucker!
