| Gerald: Yeah, I do . . . I mean, I think I do . . . Phoebe: This sucks! All of this sucks! Gerald: I . . . I don't know Phoebe. I think after last night . . . I may have changed. All that responsibility . . . Phoebe: Screw responsibility! I want to know if we can be together, that's all I care about right now. Gerald: I don't know . . . I think I need to talk to Helga. Phoebe: <Looks at Helga passed out on couch> Well, it'll be a while for that. <Cut forward a few hours> Arnold: <Wakes up> Well, I feel somewhat better. Gerald: <Quietly> You doing okay, buddy? Arnold: Yeah, I guess so now. Gerald: That's good, you were really wasted last night. Arnold: I don't really want to think about that right now. Gerald: You have to man, you can't deny what happened. Arnold: I know, I really need to talk to Lila. Gerald: You also need to talk to Helga. So do I. Arnold: Don't chew her out. As you said, we were wasted and didn't know what we were doing. Gerald: I'm not gonna chew her out. I just need to talk to her. But maybe you should first. Arnold: Okay. But I need to talk to Lila first. Gerald: Okay, man. I think she's in the kitchen with your Grandma. Arnold: Okay, I'll see if I can get her away from Grandma. <Goes down to kitchen> Lila? Grandma: So, I was saying, you have to hunt the mosquitos so they don't eat yer grub. Oh, hi Kimba. Arnold: Hi Grandma. Lila: <Cold> Arnold. Arnold: Lila, can we talk? Lila: What's there to talk about? Arnold: Last night, please, I need to talk to you about it. In private. Lila: Fine, but I don't know what there is to talk about. Let's go in the living room. Arnold: Listen, Lila, I wasn't . . . myself last night. I'm really sorry about what I did. Lila: You're damn right you weren't! I knew something was up with you two! Arnold: There's nothing up, it wasn't really our fault! Lila: Yes it was. I don't care if you were drunk, it wouldn't have happened if there wasn't SOME basis behind it! Arnold: What basis? Lila, if it was you with another guy in that closet I would have forgiven you! Lila: Sure, whatever Arnold. If you had no feelings for her whatsoever, it wouldn't have happened, period. Look within yourself, you know it to be true. Arnold: Look, other people with no feelings for each other sometimes . . . do things when they're drunk. Lila: Arnold, you're in denial. Kiss me right now, and tell me you feel absolutely nothing for Helga. Arnold: <Kisses Lila, looks her in the eyes> I have absolutely no feelings whatsoever for Helga G. Patacki. <Thinking> Liar. Lila: Now go tell that to Helga. Arnold: Alright then, fine, if you still don't believe me. Come on. <Goes up to room> Helga: <Wakes up> Arnold: Helga, can we talk to you? Helga: <Yawn> What do you want? Arnold: To talk to you. We need to discuss something. Lila: Yeah! Arnold: Lila, calm down. Helga: Gah, Lila. Just what I need. Arnold: Helga, please? Helga: Fine, talk. Arnold: Privately? Helga: I'm not moving. Arnold: Gerald, Phoebe, can you leave? Phoebe: Okay. Gerald: Sure thing, man. <They leave> Arnold: <Sits down on bed> About last night . . . Helga: What about it? Arnold: Lila's feeling paranoid and insecure about our relationship and wants to make sure I have no feelings for you whatsoever because she doesn't trust me. Lila: Well, how can I trust him with what's been going on?!! GRRR!! Arnold: Nothing has been going on except last night and I was . . . under the influence. Lila: Yeah, but it wouldn't have gone on if there wasn't something behind it!! <Starts crying> Arnold: <Gets up to comfort Lila> There was nothing behind it, Lila. You're getting upset over nothing. I love you, not Helga. Helga: That's not what you said last night. Just kidding! Arnold: Helga, this is not the time to joke around. Lila's feeling very fragile, and our relationship with her. Helga: So you have absolutely no feelings for me at all? Arnold: Only friendship. <Thinking> Liar. Helga: Well good for you football head. Now, I'm gonna go find my sweetie, Gerald. Arnold: Bye. Helga: Bye. <Leaves> Go On to Part 3 of Ep 209 |
