Hey Arnold!: The Movie2002

[Helga comes home]

Helga Pataki:
Dad! [To Miriam sleeping on a table] How's it going, Miriam?

Miriam Pataki:
Oh. Molasses, it's you. [Helga hears voices and comes to see what's going on]

Big Bob Pataki:
Okay, great, but where's the store go?

Nick Vermicelli:
[Big Bob, Nick Vermicelli, and three other guys are seen gathered around a model of the neighborhood on a table] Alright. Right here. Big Bob's Beeper Emporium. Big sign, can't miss it from the freeway, and the overpass drops you big-bang-boom right in the parkin' lot.

Big Bob Pataki:
That's good. Yeah, right in the stinkin' lot.

Helga Pataki:
Dad?

Big Bob Pataki:
What do you want, Olga?

Helga Pataki:
It's Helga, Dad.

Big Bob Pataki:
Right, Helga. That's what I said.

Helga Pataki:
Could I talk to you?

Nick Vermicelli:
We gotta split anyway, Bob. We'll talk.

Big Bob Pataki:
Right, we'll talk. And send me the paperwork, I can't wait to get started. Hey, can I keep this pop-up thing? [He points at the model]

Nick Vermicelli:
You got it. [Nick and the other men leave the room]

Big Bob Pataki:
Alright. [to Helga] You know what this is? It's our future. See, here's where my new Super Beeper Emporium is gonna go up, right after we rip down the flower shop, and Green Meats and the rest of the block.

Helga Pataki:
Uh yeah, well, uh, about all that, Dad... I mean a lot of people are gonna have to move away and sell their businesses.

Big Bob Pataki:
Yeah, what's your point?

Helga Pataki:
Well, I was just wondering if this whole tear-down-the-neighborhood Future Tech thing is really necessary.

Big Bob Pataki:
Of course, it's necessary. It's more than necessary. It's progress. You can't have progress without a little pain. No pain, no gain.

Helga Pataki:
But what's wrong with leaving things the way they are?

Big Bob Pataki:
I'll tell you what's wrong with it, missy. Leave things the way they are and Big Bob's Super Beeper Emporium doesn't happen.

Helga Pataki:
But, Dad...

Big Bob Pataki:
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey! I'll say this once, and I want you to hear it, little lady. Change is good. When the new Big Bob's Super Beeper Emporium goes up, the cash is gonna roll in and you'll forget all about the old neighborhood. And do you know why? Because we'll be rich. And that means you'll be rich. You can have that pony you've been wantin'.

Helga Pataki:
Dad, I wanted a pony when I was five.

Big Bob Pataki:
Uh. Well, what do you want now?

Helga Pataki:
I don't know.

Big Bob Pataki:
Well, make up your mind, 'cause once this neighborhood goes down and my store goes up, you can have anything you want. And I mean anything.

Helga Pataki:
[looks at fashion magazine] Anything?

Big Bob Pataki:
That's what I said. We're gonna be stinkin' rich, girl. Rich. What's more important than that, huh?
