Quotes 

• Wanda Li : [ghostly, as Arnold is about to eat Ralphie's mallowblaster]  Arrrnollllllld...

  Arnold Perlstein : Huh? I've heard my stomach growl before, but - talk?

  Wanda Li : Arrrrrrrnollllllld - are *you* about to eat Ralphie's mallowblasterrrr?

  Arnold Perlstein : Uh, no... I-I mean, yes! Eeeee! Wait a second! Who *is* this?

  Wanda Li : This is your conscience, Arnold. You know you musn't eat Ralphie's mallowblaster. Besides, you're not even hungry.

  Arnold Perlstein : Not hungry? But I could eat a...

  Wanda Li : You just *think* you're hungry, but what you *really* are is - thirsty.

  Arnold Perlstein : I am?

  Wanda Li : Trust me, you are. Now there's a nice bottle of seltzer in Wanda's lunchbag. *That's* what you *really* want.

  Arnold Perlstein : [hesitantly reaching for the seltzer]  Well - OK, I-I guess. Hey, how come it's OK to drink Wanda's seltzer, but it's *not* OK to eat Ralphie's mallowblaster?

  Wanda Li : Because Wanda is a far kinder, more generous human being than Ralphie when it comes to sharing.

  Arnold Perlstein : Then how come when *she* has a mallowblaster, she hogs it all to herself?

  Wanda Li : Look, I'm your conscience, all right? Just do what I say and drink the seltzer. Now!

  Arnold Perlstein : [to Liz]  Time me.

  [drinks the seltzer] 

• Wanda Li : What are we gonna do, what are we gonna do, what are we gonna do?

  Phoebe Terese : Wanda, what are we gonna do?

• Wanda Li : Man, when it comes to digestion, Arnold *doesn't* mess around.

  Ms. Valerie Frizzle : You haven't seen anything yet.

  Ralphie Tennelli : [nervously]  You mean there's more?

  Ms. Valerie Frizzle : Mm-hmm.

  Wanda Li : [cheering]  All right, Arnold!

• Phoebe Terese : [the Friz settles back after turning on the auto system]  Ms. Frizzle, wha - what're you doing?

  Ms. Valerie Frizzle : Time to let Arnold's digestive system do the driving.

  Wanda Li : Cool!

  [going to the rear window] 

  Wanda Li : It's like we're driving through a tunnel, but the tunnel's driving us!

  Carlos Ramon : Hey Arnold, how about a push?

• Phoebe Terese : [after Carlos rescues Wanda from further bungee jumping on Arnold's swallowed gum down his large intestine]  All right, Carlos, you saved her!

  Wanda Li : Saved me? I was having a *blast*! Arnold's digestive system is the wildest, scariest, scream-your-lungs-out ride in the world!

  Ms. Valerie Frizzle : And it's not over yet.

• Wanda Li : [clearing her throat, then presenting Arnold with a sandwich trophy]  Congratulations, Arnold.

  Arnold Perlstein : Huh?

  Wanda Li : You just broke the record for being the best field trip ever!

  Arnold Perlstein : Wha - what?

  Wanda Li : And giving me the ride of my dreams!

  Arnold Perlstein : You mean - *I* was the field trip?

  [the rest of the class nods] 

  Wanda Li : Yep.

  Arnold Perlstein : But where exactly did you go?

  [his stomach growls] 

  Arnold Perlstein : You went - inside?

  [the rest of the class laughs]
