[the kids are thinking of ideas for something to do]
Curly: I say we paint ourselves with tiger stripes, and go free all the animals in the zoo!
Helga: [sarcastically] Fine, Curly. We'll meet you there in an hour.
Curly: [runs away cackling]
Helga: Poor twisted little freak.

Movie Connections:

Referenced in South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut (1999)

Great show, but I'm sad it's doing it's season finale

I think of Hey Arnold as one of the better shows on nickelodeon. I like how when Helga goes to a private place to talk about her love, a nerdy kid comes up inhaling and exhaling behind her back and ends up getting punched in the face (lol). The show itself is right up there with Spongebob Squarepants. It's funny AND it teaches a lesson. I recommend it to any kid or teenager.
