Stinky: She's like a flower blossom. Sid: I know, she's wicked awesome.
-
(after Helga dresses as Ruth) Arnold: Ruth? Helga: Ruth? Pft! (sings) Just like I stated, she's overrated. A big no-brainer with enormous feet. Why not forget her? I'm so much better. My name's Comte Helga and I'm awfully sweet. Others: (sing) She's awfully sweet, such tiny feet. Her name's Comte Helga and you two should meet. Helga: Come join my band of gypsies. Gypsies: We're touring fifty cities! Helga: (sings) With you, my Gypsy band will be complete! (dances with Arnold) Perfect! What could possibly be better than this?
-
Helga: Ruth is a lightweight, a gagiling geek bait! I'm gonna get her, that's what I said! Ruth is a loser! How could you choose her, football head?! Others: Football head! Football head! Helga: I'm gonna stomp her right on the head! Arnold: Oh, yeah? How? Helga: With my golden magic slingshot! Sid: Golden magic slingshot? Stinky: Golden magic slingshot? Gerald: I thought it was a spear and a magic helmet. Helga: No, with my golden magic slingshot! Doy!
-
Ruth: (Singing) My name is Ruth Carmen, but aren't I charmin'?
-
Don Arnold: My name is Don Arnold. Please have a caramel. Your hair is lovely. Do you like my pants? My cape of satin, it is pure Latin, and I had it tailored in the south of France. Others: The south of France, do you like his pants? Why don't you ask the lady for a dance?

NOTES (3)
ADD NOTES-
Because of Arnold's small-scale relationship with Lila, this is the last appearance of Ruth. Ruth used to be Arnold's love interest until Lila came in (though Arnold doesn't "like-like" Lila).
-
When the 4th graders are listening to Mr. Packenham talk about the operas Ruth is standing next to Arnold.
-
In "What's Opera, Arnold?", Toran Caudell (the old Arnold's voice) does the singing.

ALLUSIONS (2)

-
Little Kid: I go to bed at 8:30, right after my favorite show, Yo Arnest! Yo Arnest! is a self-parody referenced to Hey Arnold!.
