Arnold: Von Scheck?
Grandpa: I wonder if he's realted…? [Telling about the Tomato Incident] Anyway, Von Scheck's men attacked the neighborhood, but the locals used guerrilla warfare. They made a barricade of turned vegetable carts and fought with whatever they had. They had lots of tomatoes. They were British tomatoes, which were small and hard and really hurt if you got hit with one. That did it. The redcoats were in full, ignominious retreat. That's why we eat American tomatoes, Arnold. Although I had one recently from Chile. Very juicy.
Arnold: Grandpa, did that actually happen?
Grandpa Of course. I sliced it up and put it in a sandwich.
Arnold: No. Don't you see? This is our answer.
Grandpa Yes. Yes, Arnold! Juicy tomatoes from Chile! Why didn't I think of that?
Arnold: No, the Tomato Incident. If that battle took place right in the boarding house, this whole neighborhood should be a national landmark.
