  • Rookie mistake - it'd be much better if Mr. Drummond took the telescope away first, and how he forgot that is beyond me

    "Good"
    This was a very well-plotted episode except for one thing. It had all the right feelings and everything, and I believe was appropriate for something very dangerous. So why didn't I rate this higher. Because not taking the telescope away helped, and Mr. Drummond, having his own daughter, would have known exactly what to do - take that way first, and not give it back for a few days. By just threatening but doing nothing else it let Arnold think he was off the hook. If Mr. Drummond had had no children before this woudl be accepable - but he would never have made such a rookie mistake. Then again, *if* he did that, it still probably wouldn't have taught Arnold, and so I would say that it was still very good. He should just have done that after he got the telescope back after a few days.moreless

    • Philip: (about Arnold hitting Henry with a water bomb) I'm very sorry this has happened to you, Henry, and I can see to it that it doesn't happen again. Here. (gives him some cash) Will this cover the damage? Henry: Oh. Oh, sure it will. Usually I get hit by pigeons, and they don't tip!

    • Philip: Arnold, I'm afraid there's just one solution. This calls for a spanking. Arnold: A spanking?!? But there ain't enough of me to spank!

    • Kimberly: What's up? Philip: Well, Arnold dropped a water bomb on the maintenance man. Now, I've warned him about it before, and I promised him he'd be punished if he did it again. Arnold: He doesn't have to keep his promise to me. Philip: Am I being an unreasonable father? Mrs. Garrett: No, no. I agree with you, Mr. Drummond. Kimberly: So do I, Daddy. Arnold: Aww! Kimberly: What about no desserts for a couple of nights? Arnold: No dessert?!? I just sprinkled the man. I didn't drown him!

    • Philip: You shouldn't have fun at somebody else's expense. Now, I'm sorry, but this time, you're gonna be punished. Arnold: Aw, that ain't fair! Weren't you ever a little kid? Philip: I can't remember that far back. Besides, we weren't talking about me. Arnold: Well, let's make it even and don't talk about me, either.

    • Willis: Arnold's so small, he can get lost in a crowd of three.

    • Willis: (after Arnold drops the water bomb off the balcony) See you around! Arnold: Where're you going? Willis: Where you ain't. I don't wanna be around when they lay the charge on you. Arnold: What charge? Willis: Assault with a wet weapon.

    • Willis: (looking into a telescope) Check out that girl. Arnold: Who cares about a girl, I ain't even had a dog yet.

    • Mrs. Garrett: Arnold, you may be a size small, but when it comes to trouble, you're a 42 long.

    • Arnold: (thinking Willis is going to give him a fake spanking) What are you going make sound like my butt? Willis: Your butt.

    • Willis: I don't like spanking my brother. Arnold: Then why'd you do it so hard?!

    • Willis: Kids shouldn't spank kids. Arnold Especially when one of those kids is me.

    • (After the spanking) Philip: Willis, you're crying. Mrs. Garrett: Don't tell me the little one beat up the big one!

    • Arnold: Don't spank me. I may grow up to be mean.

    • Kimberly: Don't spank him, spankings are so barbaric and medieval. Philip: They've been so popular up till this year.

    • Philip: What are you two looking at me like that for, I didn't lay a hand on the kid. Kimberly: No, you're just the godfather who hired the hitman.
