>>Helga: Amature. Okay, let's pick up from the dance of the vegetables.
A 5, 6, 7, 8. [school bell rings]
>>Helga: Not so fast. >>Harold: Come on, Helga.
We know our lines. >>Helga: Know your lines?
Of course you know your lines. But I don't want to just hear your lines.
I want to hear what's in your soul! >>Curly: Do vegetables have souls?
>>Helga: That audience expects food with feelings and that's what we're going to
give them. Iggy! What's your motivation? Iggy: I don't know. I'm a utensil.
Helga: Stinky! What's in your character's guts?
[thud] >>Helga: I thought so.
You guys all bite. Okay! Here's the deal, I want every kid here a half an hour early
so we can do another run-through. If anybody is late, they're going to
have to answer to Old Betsy.

Why couldn't we be in the bread group? Or beverages?
I could have been a cream soda. >>Arnold: Yeah well, we're fruits.

This strawberry really chafes. ♪ [funky music]♪
>>Gerald: Man! This is humiliating! >>Arnold: This is nothing.
In a few hours, the entire student body will be laughing at us.
[ding] >>Arnold: I can't believe we have to
do this for Helga. >>Gerald: I know! It's not fair.
But there's nothing we can do about it. Nothing! Unless. . .
[rattling] >>Arnold: Unless what?
>>Gerald: Let's just say we forgot to pull that cord and we didn't get off
at this stop or the next stop or the next! [whispers] Hey! By the time we get back
home, the play will be over. >>Arnold: No, we couldn't do that.
It would ruin the play. ♪ [suspenseful music]♪

Now remember, a play has a life of its own. It's got to breathe.
Every food group must build upon the group before it. First, the legumes.
>>Kid: Legumes? I prefer beans. >>Helga: Hey! You aren't, genius!
Then, the meats, lusty and powerful. Then the fruits. They're. . .

anyway? >>Gerald: What difference does it make?
When it gets to the end of the line, we'll just ride it back again.
Journey is the destination, man. >>Arnold: What's that mean?
