Wendy- Would you like a drink Harold? I find drinking helps me
express things I might usually not be able to say. I'm getting up
to get one anyhow, so it won't be any trouble.
Harold- THank-you Wendy.
(FOOTSTEPS)
ARnold- I don't know what could be so personal Harold. We've kown
each other a long time. You know me as a big part of your life.
Harold- I've only known Jeff a couple of episodes.
Jeff- Yes Harold, but I feel I've known you for the majority of my
existence. Besides, my investigatorial attributes might be-
Harold- Kicking in any minute now?
(FOOTSTEPS)
Wendy- Here we are Harold. Now why don't you take a quick, hard
sip- and be sure to feel it coming down. It likes to be
acknowledged.
Harold- Thank-you WEndy.
Harold- Whenever you're getting another.
Wendy- I'll be right back then.
Wendy- Another?
(LAUGHTER)
(FOOTSTEPS)
Jeff- You know Harold. I've been thinking about your situation.
Do you think the large gentlemen have found out where you live?
Harold- Probably, yes.
Jeff- Then you'll hide out at my place until we can clear this
whole mess up.
ARnold- Good idea Jeff! They'd almost surely come looking here
when they find out I'm his friend.
Jeff- And I'm lonely.
(LAUGHTER)
(FOOTSTEPS)
Wendy- Here we are honey. Now you let me know now the moment upon
you comes that hankering for a little sweetness from a vessel now,
OK Harold? 'Cause I'm ready any moment to help you out.
Harold- Uhm, thanks Wendy.
Wendy- I love you Harold.
Harold- I love you too Wendy.
ARnold- I'm actually more interested in Harold's sordid past. What
more did you do to the owner of the diner other than cut her brake
line Harold?
Jeff- Did you eat the rest of her pumpkin pie?
(LAUGHTER)
Harold- No, Jeff.
Wendy- Did you have an affair with her?
Harold- No, Wendy.
Arnold- Did you kell him- her- him- her?
Harold- No Arnold, no. It's not so much what I did to her, but
what I did to myself in those days to add to her displeasure with
me.
Wendy- I'm finding this all very confusing.
Arnold- I'm starting to wonder if maybe Harold didn't do something
that would displease us all.
Jeff- Come on how ARnold. I've known Harold almost my entire
existence, and I can't imagine that he could do anything to
displease me.
Harold- Thanky-you Jeff.
Arnold- You only just met him two episodes ago!
(LAUGHTER)
Wendy- Let Harold speak dear. I've become vessy interested in zee
young man's speech. So speech! Speech young man!
Jeff- Are you alright Wendy
Harold- She's alright Jeff.
Arnold- (BLURTS OUT) I performed the sacred incantation, exhuming
the spirits of what science calles meteorology, and thus uniting
them in what the media is calling "EL NINO". (PAUSE) There. I said
it. It's my fault the traditional weather patterns of the globe
are being affected. I am our unusually mild winter. And if the
owner of that diner has found that out, she might want revenge so
much that I may be running from her until one of us dies.
Wendy- El Nino. I saw a report on that. You did that?
Jeff- I always thought you were different Harold.
ARnold- That's ridiculous Harold! Why should she care about that?
Harold- Don't you see Arnold? I have made some people very angry.
There's people who have made plans to go places months in advance.
And I may have ruined it for them with my careless activities.
Wendy- Wow, "The father of El Nino".
Jeff- Why didn't you tell me before Harold? I would have
understood.
(LAUGHTER)
Harold- I'll understand if none of you want to see me again.
Jeff- I'm with you till the end, buddy. We'll get through this
together. Right Wendy?
Wendy- Absolutily. Indefinitely. Harold's our friend now isn't
that correct tov say now isn't it Arnold- wouldn't you say?
(PAUSE)
Wendy- ARnold?!
Arnold- Well...
