Arnold: So this is my city, Hillwood. And this is my school, Hillwood Middle School. My friends Gerald, Helga, Pheobe, Sid, Eugene, Rhonda and Lila are about to meet a new friend.
Mr. Simmons: Good morning, class. So today we will be learning about the main idea and context clues, but before we get into that, I would like to introduce a new student.
(Enter Rick.)
Mr. Simmons: This is your new student, Rick Hardlight.
Rick: Sup?
Mr. Simmons: Please take your seat next to Arnold.
(Rick scans the classroom.)
Rick: Who's Arnold?
(Arnold raises his hand.)
Arnold: I'm right here!
Rick: Oh, I remember you. We met at the...arcade, was it?
Arnold: Yeah!
Rick: Good to see you again!
(After the lesson...)
(Lunchtime)
Rick: Where to sit? Where to sit?
Arnold: Hey, Rick! Over here!
(Rick sits down next to Sid at Arnold's table.)
Rick: Whoa. You have a lot of friends.
Gerald: Nice to meet ya. Name's Gerald.
