Hey Arnold!
Oskar, the Millionaire - Part Two
Disclaimer: I own the plot of this story, but not the characters. I do not work on the show.
Oskar left the boarding house and headed for the offices of the scratch card company. He walked to the offices because he didn't have any money, yet. He felt really excited. He reached the offices. He went inside and went to the General Enquiries Desk.
"Can I help you?" asked the woman behind the desk.
"Yes," he said. "I would like to claim a prize that I have won on one of your scratch cards."
"Please hand in the card," she said.
"I have won the big $1 million prize," he said.
She gave Oskar a form to fill in. "Please fill in your name and address," she said.
Oskar filled in the form. "Where's my money?" he asked.
"First of all we need to examine the card," she said. "We will get back to you in 48 hours."
"48 hours?" moaned Oskar. "But I won! I want my money!"
"You'll get your cheque in due course!" she said.
A miserable Oskar left the offices. But, at least he would eventually get the money, he thought. He couldn't wait to tell the boarders about his big win.
He walked back to the Boarding House. He went back to his room. "Have you got the cheque?" Suzy asked Oskar.
"No," said Oskar. "They have to take a better look at the ticket and they will get back to us in 48 hours."
"Do you think that we should still tell the rest of the boarders?" asked Suzy.
"Of course!" said Oskar. "I can't wait to see the look on their faces!"
"I can't wait to quit my job," said Suzy. "That will show my horrible boss."
"Phone her up right now!" said Oskar. "Tell her what you really think of her!"
"I'll wait until I have the cheque," said Suzy.
At dinner, Oskar told the other boarders that he wanted to tell them something. "What is it Oskar, you bum?" asked Ernie.
"Well, today I bought a scratch card. Well, actually I bought 100 scratch cards and I won some money."
"Good because you owe me $5," said Ernie.
"How much did you win?" asked Grandpa.
"I won the top prize," said Oskar. "$1 million."
"$1 million?" everybody asked at once.
"That's right," said Oskar. "I get my cheque in 48 hours. Then, me and Suzy are moving out of this dump and into a mansion."
"Well, congratulations," said Arnold.
"Thank you, Arnold," said Oskar. "Now, I suppose that you are all thinking that I might give you some money."
"It never crossed my mind!" said Ernie. "Well, are you? ARE YOU?"
"Well, I thought long and hard about it," said Oskar. "And nobody is getting anything!"
"What?" said everybody except Arnold.
"Ernie you always called me a bum. Why should I give money to you?" asked Oskar. "Mr. Hyunh, you always said that I was no good. Grandpa, you never used to let me and Suzy pay our rent late, even when we needed the money. The only real friend that I have is Arnold. He helped me learn to read. He helped me and Suzy get back together after we split up. He helped me to get a job. I'll give him $1."
"ONE DOLLAR?" Grandpa shouted. "Arnold was great to you! If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have a wife, you wouldn't be able to read and you wouldn't have a job!"
"I quit my job two months ago," said Oskar.
"So all of Arnold's efforts to get you a job were wasted!" said Grandpa.
"It's okay, Grandpa. I don't want any money." said Arnold.
"Now, if you excuse me, I have to go and pack my bags," said Oskar. "In a few days, me and Suzy will be living in a mansion!"
Oskar went back upstairs to his room. "I have to apologise for Oskar's behaviour," said Suzy. "If it was up to me, I would give you all some money, but it is really up to Oskar. It was his ticket."
"Yeah, but I bet that it was your money that paid for it," said Ernie.
"Now, I am going to talk with my husband," said Suzy. She also went upstairs.
"Can you believe that man?" asked Ernie. "Maybe I did call him a bum but I always used to borrow him money when he said that he and Suzy were desperate. Even if I did know that he may not pay me back."
"I used to do that too!" said Mr Hyunh.
"And maybe I used to say no when he asked me to let him pay his rent late, but I always gave in later on, when Suzy used to ask me."
"Haven't you got anything to say, Arnold?" asked Ernie. "You always used to put up with him, no matter what. You even let him sleep in your room, one time."
"I don't care about money," said Arnold. "It's up to Oskar if he wants to give us money."
"He is not a nice man," said Ernie. "Even if he is about to go and live in a mansion, I will be glad to see the back of him. It will be sad to see Suzy go, though. She seems nice."
"Of all the people who could win that amount of money, Oskar did," said Grandpa.
"I don't believe it!" said Mr. Hyunh.
The final part of Oskar, the Millionaire is coming soon.
