[worried about the bet] Yeah out, as in two hundred clams right down the crapper!

Well! As you know, tomorrow is your mother's birthday, and I wanted to show you the fun-tastic gift I bought her.
RLRhonda Lloyd
[giggles]
BLBuckley Lloyd
It's a genuine Moscow mink.
RLRhonda Lloyd
(sighs contentedly)
BLBuckley Lloyd
Yes, I can't wait to see Mother's face light up tomorrow whenever we give it to her at her birthday party.
RLRhonda Lloyd
Oh, Dad, it's exquisite. Just so, so lovely.
BLBuckley Lloyd
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 kisses her father on the cheek, and waves to him as he leaves.]
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?
Oh, you pretty princess. Your mink is so soft, so inviting...
Ugh, get away from me, you freak!
Tonight's our night, Rhonda. I can feel it in the air!
Listen, you slimy piece of ick. I don't like you! So stop touching my coat with your grimy hands!
I just want to be closer to you, Rhonda. I want to be your boyfriend.
Boyfriend? I will never, ever have anything to do with you, Curly, ever!
[Rhonda has stained her mother's birthday mink coat, and Curly offers to help for a price.]
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.
Gross! No way, absolutely not!
You want a clean fur, don't you? It's either Curly, or facing your parents with a red-stained coat.
What do I have to do?
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.
9:00.
2:00.
10:00.
12 noon.
Deal. [They shake hands] 12 noon, I get to dump you?
Sure, Friday at noon. That is, if you haven't fallen completely in love with me by then.
As if.
So let's review. When I say "Rhonda, my love", you say "Yes, Cutie Pie". And when I do this...[rubs his hair]
I know. I say "You and me, baby, you and me forever."
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".
[Groans] My life is over.
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.
I have a special present for you that I want you to wear.
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.
Is this seat taken?
I'm afraid you'll have to find some other seat. I don't sit with no heartbreaking harpies.
Oh, please. Now we're supposed to feel sorry for Curly?
Criminy, what a pathetic display.
I'm afraid I have to agree, Helga.
Guess Miss Rich and Fancy over there really did a number on him.
May I borrow the black paint, Helga?
Perfect. It'll match the color of your heart. [Holds up a paper plate with a black heart painted on it]
Excuse me?
You heard me, Cruella.
Unbelievable!
Oh, why, why, why does this have to be me? Why couldn't someone else have borrowed their Mother's mink jacket and be in this disgusting situation? I mean, could he be any grosser? But then again, if I don't go through with this, everyone may hate me because I broke the Little Freak's heart. Time to buck up, Rhonda! After all, aside from that one highly nauseating kiss, this really isn't going so badly. Perhaps by the end of the day, you might even be back on top. All you got to do is stick to the plan, then, find a way to dump the Little Troll.
So how about giving me a lock of your hair to keep under my pillow?
Ugh, that is unbelievably GROSS!
Is it? Or does it thrill you?
Stop! You're crazy! Get away from me!
[Grandpa is reading out of Arnold's father's journal, an entry describing a volcanic eruption] "It was terrifying and beautiful all at the same time." to Grandma Kind of like you, Pookie.
[reading journal] It was the hottest night the jungle could get when we... whoops, time for bed, Short Man!
But Grandpa, it's only six o'clock.
Well, go order us some dinner then. [Arnold leaves, and Phil tears the page he was reading out and puts it in his pocket] Whoo, that was close.
[to Arnold] They should have named you Phil.
[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.
