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.

Helga: Name's Pataki. Helga Pataki.

Rick: Wait. Doesn't your dad on a phone store a few blocks down?

Helga: Yes, he does.

Rick: I got my phone from him. Thanks a bunch!

Pheobe: I'm Pheobe Heyerdahl.

Rick: Hey, I am a big fan of your dad!

Pheobe: You are?!

Rick: Yes! Fencing is my favorite sport!

Arnold: He told me he once played in the Hillwood Olympics.

Eugene: Name's Eugene.

Rick: Nice to meet you.

Rhonda: I'm Rhonda.

Rick: Nice to meet ya. I heard that the school psycho has a crush on you.

Gerald: Oh, you must've heard about Curly.

Rhonda: He does. Why won't he just leave me alone?!

Rick: You too.
