Now, move it around like this.

You're a terrific
dancer, Willis.

Thanks, but in Harlem we
just consider this walkin'.

Hey, Willis, wanna
play some basketball?

No.

What's that supposed to be?

Get lost, Arnold.

I'm teaching Kimberly
how to dance.

Dancin'? All you're doin'
is wigglin' your behinds.

Please, Arnold,
we're practicing.

Arnold, I gotta teach
Kimberly how to dance,

so she can go on Barry
the Beast's TV dance show.

Oh, that ain't hard to do.

Watch some grooves by
the man with the moves.

I'm getting the
Saturday Night Fever.

It looks more like you're
having a Friday night fit.

Arnold.

Get lost, Arnold. We
ain't got time for you now.

You never have
time for me anymore.

Some brother and sister.

All right.

Hey, Mr. Drummond, that
looks like a terrific game.

Arnold, if you don't mind,
I'm a little busy right now.

How much are the hotels?

Do you get money
when you pass "Go"?

Where are the dice?

Arnold, this isn't a game.

This is a housing development
that my company may invest in.

Who's gonna rent this? Ants?

Arnold, please.

Man, if I lived there,
instead of bein' little Arnold,

I'd be the jolly black giant.

Arnold, this is just a
model of a housing project.

I know that.

I'm just trying to
have some fun.

Well, I don't have time
for any fun right now.

Arnold, why don't you go and
play with Kimberly and Willis?

They kicked me out again.

What do you mean, "Again"?

They keep brushin' me off, and it's
been that way for the past few days.

Well, I'm sorry, Arnold, but you
caught me in a rather bad time.

Go, see Mrs. Garrett.

Yeah, she'd feel
bad if she didn't

get a chance to
kick me out, too.

She wouldn't do
that. Go, see her.

She's lots of fun.

Something's wrong.

Got it.

Oh, why not? What the heck?

All right.

Hi, honey.

Hi, Mrs. Garrett.

Who stole the
head off your statue?

Well, dressmaker dummies
don't have any heads, honey.

You're makin' a
dress for a dummy?

Well, I hope not, it's for me.

I'm goin' to a fancy
party Saturday night.

You goin' out with a gentleman?

I'll find out when
he drives me home.

Oh, look at the time.
It's almost 11:00,

and I still have the beds
to do, and the housework.

Mrs. Garrett, can I help you?

Oh, sweetheart, not now.

Oh, please, please, can I?

Well, we'll do something
together a little later.

But right now, I've
gotta do this myself.

Ah, come on. Please,
I'm a good helper.

Look, you got a loose
thread here, I can fix it.

Oh, Arnold, no. No!

Uh...

Oh, well...

Do you mind if I don't
help you anymore?

No, I don't mind at all.

Mmm-hmm.

Hello? Who's this?

I'm not callin' anyone.

I'm just playin' a song.

I'm here in New
York. Where are you?

Hawaii?

Hey, Mr. Drummond, do you know
it's only 5:00 in the morning in Hawaii?

Is somebody calling
us from Hawaii?

No, I'm callin' them.

You got any little boys?

Arnold. Hello, is
this really Hawaii?

Oh, well, I'm sorry that
you were awakened at 5:00.

It's just... Well, it's just...

Well, nooka-nooka to you, too.

Arnold, what are you
doing calling Hawaii?

Well, I didn't do it on purpose.

That's what happens when you
play Yankee Doodle on the buttons.

Here, I'll show you.

Arnold.

Have you been playing
other songs on the phone?

I was thinkin' of
tryin' Chopsticks.

Terrific, I've always
wanted to call Shanghai.

Now look, Arnold, those
calls cost a lot of money.

Now, don't do that anymore.

Yes, sir.

What has gotten into you today?

I'm bored and lonesome.

Arnold!

Nobody wants to talk to me.

Even my fish is
hiding behind his rock.

Arnold, why don't
you go and play with

some of your friends
here in the building?

'Cause they're all too
busy with their families.

They're goin' to the movies
and for ice cream and to the park.

Get the picture?

Well, there must be some
other kids you can play with.

Not anymore.

They're all back at Harlem,
and I never get to see them.

You know, Arnold, when
I was about your age,

and I didn't have
anybody to play with,

I had a very good way
of keeping myself busy.

How? Reading a book.

Read a book? On my own time?

Sure. Reading can
be a great adventure.

Look, go in the library. There
are some wonderful books in there.

I'm sure you can
find one that you like.

Go ahead. Go and
see what you can find.

Hmm.

Hmm.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Nah, I'd rather watch
football than read about it.

Hmm.

Les Miserables.

I already know
how to be miserable.

Hmm.

Problems of Children, 5 to 10.

Maybe, that's for me.
Have I got a problem?

Hmm. Hmm.

"The eight-year-old
demands more attention

"than the agreeable
seven-year-old."

Seven. Those were
the good old days.

"Some eight-year-olds, to
gain their parent's attention,

"have been known
to wet their beds."

Nah.

Hold it, Arnold. Back up.

Hmm...

Bed-wetting gets attention, huh?

Ah...

Mmm-mmm.

Hi. Oh, hi, sweetie.

I'll get right out of your way.

What?

Oh, my.

Oh, Mrs. Garrett, where
did Kimberly and Willis go?

I don't know, but I can sure
tell you where Arnold went.

Where?

Well, let's say, if
Arnold was a puppy,

I'd say someone
forgot to walk him.

Arnold? Arnold.

Oh, I guess that's why
he ran out of here so fast.

Oh, the poor kid, he's
probably terribly embarrassed.

Poor baby. He's probably
in torment right now.

I wonder why, all of a sudden?

He's never done this before.

Well, maybe it's just
a one-time accident.

I think the best thing is to
pretend it never happened.

We won't say a
word to Arnold, okay?

Right.

This is between you and
me and the upper bunk.

Come on, Arnold, get
yourself down to breakfast.

I'll be right down.
You go ahead.

Well, hurry up. Okay.

See you later. All right.

I didn't get no
attention yesterday.

But I'm gonna get me
some attention today.

Even if I have to turn my
bed into a swimming pool.

Willis, you better
not eat too much.

You've got a lot of dancing
to teach me this morning.

You watch my feet, and
I'll watch my stomach.

Willis, if you don't
watch your stomach,

you won't be able
to see your feet.

Mrs. Garrett, all
finished in the rooms?

♪ By a waterfall,
I'm calling you ♪

In other words...

As the French would
say, "Oui, oui, monsieur."

Willis, Kimberly, I think
that's an excellent idea.

What is?

For you to give Mrs. Garrett
a hand with the dishes.

I didn't say that. I
wasn't even thinkin' it.

That's just my
way of telling you

that I want to speak
to Arnold alone, okay?

Okay, Daddy, come on,
Willis, and bring your dish.

Okay.

Ask me anything you want, Mr. D.

Even if it's only personal.

Arnold, I understand that
somebody has been wetting his bed.

I always said Willis
couldn't hold his cocoa.

No, no, no, no.
Now, we both know

that you are the one
that's having the problem.

So, in the light of
what has happened,

I've decided I should spend
some time with you this afternoon.

If you insist.

I'm going to take
you to... The zoo?

No. The park?

Nope, the doctor. The doctor?

Yep, Dr. Danvers.

But I don't need no doctor.

Nothing's wrong with me.

I just need some cotton candy
and an hour in the monkey house.

Listen, Arnold,

lots of children have
problems with bed-wetting.

And sometimes they need help.

Now, this must be the
third time you've done this.

Second, but who's counting?

Well, I think we should
see the doctor, just in case.

And then after that, if there's
time, maybe we'll drop by the zoo.

You promise?

I promise.

Is that doctor gonna
stick me in the butt again?

He'll probably just
want to talk to you.

Then why don't we just
phone him from the zoo?

Arnold, upstairs
and get your jacket.

And that's an order.

Yes, sir. sh**t.

I don't need no doctor.

Well? How did he take it?

Not too bad. We made a deal.

We go and see the
doctor and then afterwards,

we'll try and drop by the zoo.

Wonderful.

Oh, well, I won't tell
the other children.

There's no need to
embarrass Arnold.

Good idea.

Of course, with Willis sleeping
in the bunk below Arnold,

he's liable to find
out the hard way.

♪ By a waterfall,
I'm calling you ♪

Hi, Mrs. Garrett. Hi, kids.

Hi, Mrs. Garrett.

Where've you guys been all day?

The zoo. I saw elephants and
giraffes and hippopotamuses.

Boy, was it great.

I saw the seals and the
lions. I'd like to go again.

So that's why you sent me and
Kimberly out of the room, huh?

Daddy didn't want to
take us to the zoo. Do you?

Oh, no, no, no, it's
not that at all. Yes?

Here's the medicine
for Arnold Jackson.

Oh, oh. Thank you. Here.

Thanks.

Medicine? What's wrong
with my little brother?

What is it, Daddy?

Now, there's nothing
to get upset about, kids.

It's nothing serious.
Right, Mrs. Garrett?

Right. I mean to
be perfectly honest,

it's just a little
piddling thing.

Well, what is it?

Well, it's nothing physical, it's
a little psychological problem.

See, Dr. Danvers thinks that
Arnold misses the love and attention

that he used to get from your
mother before she d*ed, Willis.

You're older than
he is, and it's easier

for you to handle it
than it is for Arnold.

Poor little Arnold.

Gee, I should've paid
more attention to him.

Oh, we all should have.

Well, what he needs
now from all of us

is lots of love and
lots of extra attention.

That's right. Absolutely.
Mr. Drummond...

Thanks again for takin' me
to the zoo, Mr. Drummond.

You're welcome,
Arnold. I enjoyed it myself.

There must be a
lot of other fun things

around town for a
fun-loving kid to do.

Hey, Arnold, how about going
skating with me in the park tomorrow?

Great.

And after your
skating with Kimberly,

how about me and you goin' out
to that merry-go-round you like?

Great. There's
nothin' I'd like better

than gettin' dizzy
with my dizzy brother.

That's funny.

Well, I guess you're
all set then, Arnold.

Not exactly, I've still got
tomorrow afternoon open.

Got any suggestions,
Mrs. Garrett?

Sure, how about going
to the movies, Arnold?

Can we go to a real
scary one? Uh-huh.

And have lots of popcorn? Yeah.

And candy? Yeah.

And soda pop? That, too.

We'll just do everything except
sit in the balcony and smooch.

Okay, g*ng, time to
wash up for dinner.

Whee! KIMBERLY: Okay, Daddy.

Hey, Mr. Drummond.

I'll put you down for
some bedtime stories later.

You just do that.

Mr. Drummond, do you think
that medicine'll help Arnold?

Well, it's just a placebo,
a fake medicine.

They say sometimes it works
because people think it's supposed to.

Well, let's hope it
makes him drip-dry.

Sorry I haven't paid more attention
to you, Arnold, but I will from now on.

And I'll give you every chance.

May I come in, guys?

Sure.

Uh-oh.

What's the matter, Arnold?

That looks like a
bad news bottle.

Well, this is just
a little medicine

the doctor prescribed to help
your, you know, your situation.

My situation's doin'
all fine by itself.

Now, come on, Arnold,
it's not all that bad.

I don't need any medicine.

Arnold, the doctor knows best.

Mmm-mmm.

Arnold, did you know the
circus is coming to town?

Yeah?

You play dirty.

No, I'm just a parent
with great timing.

Now, Willis...

I ain't takin'
any of that stuff.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm
putting you in charge.

Oh.

Arnold has to take
another spoon now.

I'll be glad to take the spoon

as long as there's
nothing in it.

And you see that he gets two
spoonfuls every two hours till bedtime.

You gotta be kidding.

I'll see that he gets
it, one way or another.

Right.

Now, do you want to
take it, or get it shoved in?

Neither. Neither nothin'.

Don't you run away,
boy. Come here!

Wait.

Got you. Now, open the
garage and we'll drive the car in.

Come on, open up.

Wait. Come here.
It's good for you.

Hey! Oh! I got you now, boy.

Come on, open that mouth up.

I don't need it. Yes, you do.

I don't need it. I
didn't wet the bed.

You wet the bed?

Yes and no.

What do you mean, "yes and no"?

They think I wet the
bed because it was wet.

Well, a wet bed would
give somebody that idea.

I did it with a glass of water.

I was pullin' a trick just to get
some attention around here.

Is that the truth?

If I'm lying, may I never
sleep in a dry bed again.

You did all that just
to get some attention?

Yeah, it worked
great, didn't it?

Arnold.

I guess you think I'm
a rotten kid now, huh?

Yeah. No. You're
not rotten, Arnold,

and you don't have to
take this old medicine.

I don't? No.

Willis, let me tell
you somethin'. Hmm?

We both got the greatest
brothers in the world.

I agree.

Rise and shine, Arnold.

You wanna go sh**t
some basketball today?

Yeah. Let's get...

Hey, you better hurry up, man,

if we're gonna sh**t
some basketball.

You better get your
feet in high gear.

You go ahead down
to breakfast, I'll wait.

No, that's okay. I'll wait.

No, you go ahead. I've
been eatin' all my life,

and I'm thinkin'
of givin' it up.

Well, then you'll just
have something to drink.

That's the first
thing I'm giving up.

Is something the matter, Arnold?

No, I just have to
do my tall exercises.

Arnold, come on,
out of bed. No, don't.

Don't you know
getting up too fast

with the blood
rushing out of my head

could affect my mind?

I mean, I may get magnesia or
something and forget who I am.

All right, Arnold,
see you at breakfast.

Oh, hello.

Good morning, Arnold.

Would you mind telling
us what you're doing there?

Well, you know, I...

Well, you know, Mrs.
Garret works so hard

I thought I'd help
her... And see you later.

Hold it, hold it, Arnold.

Now, your bed was wet
again this morning, wasn't it?

My bed? That bed? Not that bed.

That bed's so dry, it's dusty.

Arnold, it was wet, wasn't it?

Well, you've heard of the tooth fairy?
- Mmm-hmm.

Maybe it was his
cousin, the wet fairy.

Arnold, we know that it was wet.

It was wet.

I don't know how it
could have got there.

I didn't even drink
water last night.

Well, actually,
you didn't wet it.

What you talkin' about, Willis?

I wet your bed.

You wet my bed from down here?

That's right.

I poured a glass of
water on your bed.

What'd you do that for?

Isn't that what you did?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Does this mean
everybody's gonna stop

talking to me and
playing with me again?

No, nobody's going to stop
talking to you and playing with you.

That's good. I get
bored talkin' to myself.

But Arnold, there is one
thing that I want you to realize.

Wanting more attention
is perfectly normal.

You know, bed-wetting can be
a real problem for some children.

And it's nothing
to play tricks with.

I'll never do it again, Mr. D.

I got the idea from
readin' one of your books.

Sorry I had to get
even with you, Arnold,

but you had it coming
so I gave it to you.

Yeah, and you sure poured it on.

You think Mrs. Garrett
knows about our little trick?

No, no, she doesn't.

Well, if we make my bed
real fast, maybe she never will.
