"Great"

It's kind of ironic. Phil tells Arnold exactley what's up with Helga. The fact she's evil to him only because she has feelings for him...and Arnold does not believe it...GAH! He's so thick headed.

The fact the "Pookie" treated Phil the same way Helga treats Arnold may hint they could end up married. Ya never know, it could happen

- When Dino and Arnold are in his dressing room, there's a box on the floor in some of the shots that has the words "Rat Poison" written on it.
  EDIT SHARE
- In "Girl Trouble," when Helga is sharpening her pencil, she looks back at Arnold. Notice how the desks are arranged in rows, and Helga is sitting at her seat as well! When she goes back, the desks are in groups of four since they're working on group projects.

Yeah, in your dreams, football head! Like I'm ever going to agree with you about anything! And don't ever call me at my house ever again!!! EVER!!! (sighs and Big Bob opens her bedroom door and looks down to her confused, Helga looks up at him and laughs sheepishly) Big Bob: I'm not even gonna ask... (leaves her room)
  EDIT SHARE
- Helga: Oh, Arnold! So kind, so just, so moral! (is twirling around while the telephone cord is wrapping around her) Helga: You couldn't help but return to the ways I know and love.

NOTES (2)
ADD NOTES
- In 'School Dance' after Dino's depressing song, you see Arnold trying to reason with him in the dressing room. If you look around the room, you'll see a rather large box with the words 'rat poison' on it. Why is this box so big, or more importantly, open?
  EDIT SHARE
- Pookie's birth name is revealed as Gertrude aka Gertie, and now Pookie.
