(FROGS CROAKING)
Nice catch, Sid.
I just love watching
Sid practice up
for the annual
frog-catching contest.
We're all gonna be
on the same team
again, right?
Sure, that's how
we won the last
two years in a row.
(SIGHS) I reckon
them glory days
are over, fellas.
Stinky, what are you
talking about?
I heard Wolfgang
and Edmund
are entering
the contest this year.
They're gonna clean
our clocks.
No bout a doubt it.
But we've got Sid.
He's the champion
frog-catcher
of P.S. 118.
Thanks, Arnold.
It's true,
I am the frog-catching king.
I just can't get
enough of it!
The frogs, the mud,
the slimy green water.
I love it all!
The slimier, the better.
Plus, who else can
catch a frog
in their mouth?
Isn't that right,
Sidney?
Sidney, up.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
I never kissed a frog.
On account of
it seems kinda nasty.
Are you kidding?
Frogs are the coolest.
And Sidney's the first
frog I ever caught.
We've been pals
a long time.
Right, Sidney?
Muah.
That's what
I call dedication.
See, Stinky?
We've got nothing
to worry about.
We're gonna win
that contest again
this year.
MR. SIMMONS: Boys and girls,
I know you'll be disappointed,
but today, instead of
my usual science lecture,
we're going to see
a movie instead.
ALL: Yay!
Uh, yay. (CLEARS THROAT)
Lights!
It's called
Hygiene Keeps
You Healthy.
(ALL GROANING)
From the looks
of this creature,
you may think
it would be found
somewhere under a rock,
or in a swamp.
But no.
It is a germ, and it
lives all around you.
(COUGHING)
Why, our own bodies
are a b*ttlefield
in a constant state
of germ warfare.
And the bacteria battle
doesn't stop there.
The world around us
is also brimming with germs,
and inhabited by
germ-ridden creatures
who carry disease.
Germs.
Germs are everywhere.
Insidiously breeding.
In your home.
In your school.
On desktops
and doorknobs.
(FROGS CROAKING)
Listen, fishbait.
We're gonna win
the frog-catching
contest this year.
Yeah, and there's nothing
you and your friends
can do about it.
You guys don't scare us.
We have Sid on our team.
Yeah, he's the frog-catching
king.
Ooh, the king.
(SCOFFS)
I'll believe it when I see it.
It's true. He's the champ.
Ain't nobody enjoys
wallowing in the mud
and slime as much as Sid.
ANNOUNCER: Germs
are everywhere.
Insidious and breeding.
In your home,
in your school,
on desktops
and doorknobs!
(SCREAMS)
Oh!
Oh, I'm so very
sorry, Sid.
Sid, was
the door stuck?
Yeah, kinda.
Now, class, let's all
take out our art supplies,
we're going to do
our own self-portraits.
What the heck
are you doing?
It's disinfectant.
I got it from
the janitor's closet.
Kids borrow my brushes
all the time.
Who knows what kind
of germs are sitting
in the box,
just waiting for
the chance to breed
and multiply?
Yeesh! What a donut hole.
Oh!
SID: No!
Hey! What did you
do that for?
I saved your life.
That sandwich was
crawling with germs!
I oughta make you
eat a fist sandwich!
Trust me, Harold.
I know what
I'm talking about.
It's better to stick
with safe snacks
like these potato chips.
Vacuum packed
and hermetically sealed!
See? Never been touched
by human hands.
(LAUGHS)
Now they're all mine!
Unless you
want them back!
No, get them
away from me!
Sid, what about
your lunch?
SID: Forget it, Arnold.
I've lost my appetite.
(DOOR SLAMS)
(KIDS CHEERING)
(GROANS)
Oh!
That's two out,
and one to go.
You're up, Sid.
Come on, buddy,
hit me home!
Oh, look,
it's germ-boy!
(COUGHS)
All yours, Sid!
Germs... Germs...
Watch out for
the pile of germs
behind you!
(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHS)
Let's go, Sid,
you're holding up
the game!
I'm out of the game.
I can't take it.
Sid, where are you going?
Somewhere free of evil,
crawling, disgusting germs!
(SHRIEKS)
Man, that is
one sick little monkey.
This does not bode well
for our frog-catching
team, Arnold.
Maybe he just needs
a good night's sleep.
(SCRUBBING)
Ah! Oh, no.
Morning already.
Time to go to school.
I'll never be able to
clean the whole classroom.
I gotta find a way
to protect myself
from all those germs.
Sid, are you okay?
Of course I'm okay.
I'm totally safe.
I'm wearing
my germ suit.
I can't keep
Sidney anymore.
He's too germy.
You take him.
But he's your pet.
That was in the old days,
Arnold. Before I knew
any better.
Sid, I hate
to say this,
but you're acting
kind of crazy.
I mean, you're letting
your phobia about germs
ruin your life.
No I'm not.
I have a better life now.
It's germ-free
and hermetically sealed.
(BELL RINGS)
(GASPING)
This should be good.
Sid, I'm thrilled you've
taken a special interest
in hygiene.
Thank for noticing!
However, at recess,
I think you and I
should go have
a talk with the nurse.
Good idea! I bet
she's got some
great disinfectants.
Uh...
Well, there goes
your theory about
Sid sleeping it off.
I'm really worried
about him, Gerald.
GERALD:
Tell me about it!
Man, we gotta
do something fast,
or we're gonna lose
our frog-catching king
for sure!
Sid, take off the suit!
You can't even sit down!
Sorry, Arnold.
No can do.
I promise. Nothing bad
will happen to you.
Yes, and everything
will be just like before.
You'll see.
Achoo!
(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHS)
Leave me alone!
You're all a bunch of
disease-carrying,
germ-ridden animals!
MR. SIMMONS: Sid, wait!
(DOOR SLAMS)
Ah! Who is it?
It's Arnold.
I brought your homework.
Sorry, Arnold.
You can't come in here.
I can't expose myself
to any more germs.
Okay, then. I'll just
slip it under the door.
No, no!
It's not safe!
It's crawling with germs!
You got to seal it
in a baggie first.
It's just a harmless
piece of paper, Sid.
There's no reason
to be afraid of it.
I mean,
if you're this scared
of a piece of paper,
how are you ever
gonna catch any frogs
in the contest tomorrow?
Sid, you're coming
tomorrow, right?
No way! It gives me
the willies just
thinking about it.
But you love
catching frogs!
I used to love
catching frogs, Arnold,
but not anymore.
You're letting this
crazy fear of germs
stop you from being you.
The Sid I know
isn't afraid of everything.
He loves playing
in the mud,
and he's the champion
frog-catcher of P.S. 118.
Where's that Sid?
He's gone.
He's never coming back.
The world is
full of germs.
You just have to
accept it.
You think
I like knowing about
things like bed bugs?
(SCREAMS)
All the germs
that live in the air ducts?
Millions of germs
are pouring into
your room every second.
(SCREAMS)
The world
is full of germs, Sid.
You can't get rid
of all of 'em.
You have to stop
worrying about 'em,
or you'll end up
all alone,
curled up in a little ball
with nothing but germs
in your life.
Anyway, I really hope
you make it to
the contest tomorrow.
It wouldn't be
the same without you.
(CROAKS)
(LAUGHING WICKEDLY)
Ah!
Let me out! (SCREAMS)
(PANTING)
Let me out!
Sidney! Sidney, help me!
(CROAKS)
(GERMS GIGGLING)
Sweep all you want, Sid.
The germs are now
your masters.
You only live
to serve them.
Sweep, dust, clean.
Sweep, dust, clean.
ALL: Sweep, dust, clean.
Sweep, dust, clean.
Sweep, dust, clean.
(LAUGHING)
(SCREAMING)
Yeah!
Hey! Hey, guys!
Guys, help!
I'm trapped in here!
Ah!
No!
(SHRIEKS)
(PANTING) Wow, talk about
a crazy dream.
(CROAKING)
Sidney?
(CROAKS)
Sidney!
Muah!
Sidney, oh, wonderful
germy Sidney!
(CRYING)
I'm back!
So, football face,
where's your champion
frog-catcher I heard
so much about?
Yeah, where's the
world-famous celebrity
frog-catching king
of P.S. 118?
Shut up!
I just asked that question.
I'm a curious, interested
person too, Wolfgang.
Gah!
Oh!
Oh, he'll be here.
But I don't know, Arnold.
I don't think we have
a snowball's chance in...
SHEENA: Teams, it's time
to begin!
Please take your
places in the lake.
Get ready
to suck mud, loser.
(YELLING)
I am Sid! The king
of all frog-catchers!
And I'm back!
(ALL CHEERING)
Remember, don't harm
any frogs!
Start catching!
He's faster than
you, Wolfgang.
He makes you look
like a little baby girl.
Shut up!
Now we're cooking
with gas, fellas.
Yeah! Go, Sid!
(w*r CRY)
ALL: Sid! Sid!
(CRIES OUT)
I still don't
get it, Sid.
One day,
you're vacuum packed
and hermetically sealed,
the next day,
you're french-kissing
a frog.
Yeah, well,
I thought about it, Stinky.
And I figured it's better
to live with germs,
instead of giving up
all the things I love.
Like Sidney.
I don't know
about you, fellas,
but I still say
it looks kinda nasty!
It's not nasty, Stinky,
it's natural.
Germs are a part
of our lives.
They're in our hair,
on our clothes,
on our skin.
They're everywhere.
You can't get
away from them.
(SCREAMS)
Let 'em in.
Embrace 'em.
(HELGA SCREAMING)
(CONTINUES SCREAMING)
(SPLASHING)
SID: What's bugging her?
