- Any questions?
- Miss Slovak, what if we don't care about anyone? What if we have never experienced love?
Miss Slovak
- Then you'd be me.
Miss Slovak
- Sometimes, the most beautiful gift can come in the plainest box.
- Hey Gerald, what do you think of this? "Dear Ruth, I've long admired you from afar. And now, I'd like to admire you from up close. Please meet me at the Chez Pierre for an early supper."
- You got some guts, Arnold.
Arnold
- "Signed, Anonymous."
Gerald
- Guess I spoke too soon. You gotta sign it, man. How's she gonna know who Anonymous is?
Arnold
- She'll just know, Gerald.
Gerald
- Whatever you say, Arnold.
- Ruth? He's making a valentine for Ruth McDougal? She's nothing but a stuck-up, sixth-grady, training bra-wearing, bracey-face, sixth-grady sixth-grader.
Helga
- I gotta find something that'll make me look... French. (holding a muumuu) "Hello, boys and girls. I'm a lunch lady." Pfft!
Arnold
- So what do you think I should say?
Gerald
- Well, what do you know about her?
Arnold
- Well, she's tall and delicate. And she has this really shiny auburn hair that cascades over her ears and onto her milky white shoulders. And soft brown eyes that sparkle and...
Gerald
- Arnold! Are you trying to make me puke?
Arnold
- You're probably wondering about that valentine, about who Anonymous really is.
- Everyone knows who Anonymous is.
Arnold
- They do?
Ruth
- Yeah, he's like a famous poet.
Arnold
- Huh?
Ruth
- Sure, every time we read a poem at school, it's always by that guy, Anonymous.
Arnold
- There's this girl I thought I liked, but then it turned out that when I got to know her, we had nothing in common.
Helga (as Cecile)
- Well, maybe she is not the girl for you. Maybe the girl for you is someone you didn't expect. After all, the most beautiful gift can come in the plainest box.
Helga
- He likes me. He really likes me. (exclaims) Wait a minute. He doesn't like me. He likes Cecile. Well, not "Cecile" Cecile. "Me" Cecile. So he does like me. Oh, criminy, I'm a basket case.
Helga
- Arnold, what the heck going around here!?
