"The Biggest Joke and Prank of All Times" transcript

Stick Stickly: "And now, back to Hey Arnold!, right here, on Nickelodeon."

Scene 1: The PS 118 School lunch room
Phoebe: "I wonder what could be keeping Harold."

Arnold: "Look, you guys, here he comes right now."

Harold: "Hey, you guys, how's it going?"

Gerald: "Pretty good, Harold, but would you mind scootin' down to the other end."

Harold: "Why sure, you guys, hey, Sid, are you saving that for somebody?"

Sid: "I have just the thing for when Curly gets here."

Stinky: "Look, here comes Curly right now."

Curly arrives at their lunch table.

Arnold: "Hey, Curly, how's it going?"

Curly: "Okay, I guess, is it alright if I join you guys?"

Gerald: "Why sure, Curly, how 'bout you go sit right next to Sid over there."

Curly: "Alright, it wouldn't hurt to try."

Curly sits right next to Sid, who holds up a snake in a jar prank that he got from the Hillwood Joke Shop.

Sid: "Hey, Curly, would you care for some twisted cheese puffs?"

Curly: "Why sure, don't mind if I do."

Curly is about to open the red jar.

Sid: "Oh boy, this is gonna be super thrilling."

Suddenly, a blue rubber snake pops right outta the red jar and startles Curly in shock.

Curly: AAAAAAAAAAAAH! "A blue snake in a red jar, I'll get you for this, Sid Patterson, mark my words!"

Rhonda: "This joke and prank is like totally radical."

Scene 2: The PS 118 School playground
Arnold: "That was the greatest joke and prank in history, Sid."

Helga: "Yeah right, you're super thrilling."

Gerald: "You're much better than Wolfgang and Edmund."

Sid: "I know, I'm the master of jokes and pranks around here."

Principal Wartz (off screen): "Sid Patterson, are you the 1 with the jokes and pranks?"

Sid: (looking at Mr. Simmons and Principal Wartz standing by) "Yes, Mr. Simmons and Principal Wartz, I am."

Principal Wartz: "That does it, young master of jokes and pranks, it's my office for you, let's go."

Mr. Simmons and Principal Wartz are now taking Sid to Principal Wartz's office.

Sid: "But, you guys, you don't understand, it was just a joke and prank, it's no big deal."

Sid is now taken to Principal Wartz's office.

Eugene: "You guys, we gotta do something about it, playing jokes and pranks on other students and faculty members can be an automatic level for detention."

Phoebe: "Oh relax, Eugene, how can they possibly punish Sid for playing a joke and prank he thought about?"

Inside Principal Wartz's office
Sid: "Okay, so I played that snake in a jar prank on Curly and I thought there was some twisted cheese puffs, but it's no big deal anyhow."

Principal Wartz: "Now, Sid Patterson, I don't need to constantly remind you that we can't have any jokes and pranks in PS 118."

Sid: "I know, Principal Wartz, but it was just outta control."

Principal Wartz: "That does it, Sid, I have no other choice but to give you detention level 12."

Sid: "Oh boy, here we go again."

Outside the PS 118 School building
Arnold: "12:47 PM?"

Gerald: "Man, how long are they keepin' him in there?"

Phoebe: "Look, here he comes right now."

Mr. Simmons and Principal Wartz walk right out with Sid, who's outta detention.

Mr. Simmons: "Now we hope you learned your lesson, Sid."

Principal Wartz: "And from now on, your jokes and pranks are officially forbidden."
