(SLURPING)
STINKY: One more to go.
There's no way
he can do it. Nobody
can eat 50 Mr. Fudgies.
Give it to me.
(SWALLOWS)
Unbelievable.
Told ya I could do it.
Now pay me.
JOLLY OLLY MAN: Hey, Tubby.
Who, me?
"Who, me?"
Yeah, you, Tubby.
I wish I had 100
customers like you.
I could retire
and move to Florida.
Oh boy, I'll tell ya.
Fifty Mr. Fudgies!
You can pack it away,
can't you? (LAUGHING)
See you tomorrow, Tubby.
(LAUGHING)
My name's not "Tubby."
It's Harold.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Can you believe it?
What an idiot.
It only cost us
a quarter to see him
eat all those Mr. Fudgies.
And I bet it cost
Harold six weeks
of his allowance
just to buy them.
He sure is fat,
ain't he?
He must weigh
over 200 pounds.
(LAUGHING)
SID: I bet by the time
he's in the sixth grade,
he'll weigh over
300 pounds.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
STINKY:
He sure is fat, ain't he?
Look, Mommy,
there's a fat man.
Oh no, Johnny,
don't say that.
He's not a fat man.
He's a fat boy.
JERRY: Mm.
It's a very good
pot roast, Marilyn.
Thank you very much,
Jerry.
Would like
some more, Harold?
Huh? No thanks.
You've barely
touched your food.
Is something
bothering you, son?
No, nothing's bothering me.
I don't want to talk about it.
He doesn't want
to talk about it.
If he doesn't want
to talk about it, then
he doesn't have to.
He doesn't
have to talk about it?
I mean,
we're only his parents.
Why should
he tell us if something
is bothering him?
He doesn't
want to talk about it.
Am I asking him
to talk about it?
You're hinting.
I am not hinting.
I just want to know
what's bothering our son.
Marilyn.
Am I fat?
Harold, please,
your father and I
are discussing.
Is that a crime now?
What do you mean, son?
Am I fat?
Of course not, Harold.
Is that what's
been bothering you?
Oh!
That is ridiculous.
Why would you
ever think that
you were fat?
Some of the kids
were saying...
You're just big-boned.
Actually, he could stand
to lose a couple of pounds.
Jerry!
I'm just saying
that he could...
Don't... You're just husky
and that's perfectly normal.
When I was your age,
I was just exactly like you.
And look at me,
I turned out to be a
perfectly normal-sized person.
(GROANS)
(SINGING)
MAN: (ON TV) Are you fat
and between the ages
of eight and 14?
Do kids call you
"tubby, lardo, wide-load
"whale-boy,"
or "the fattest person
I've seen in my life"?
Wouldn't you like
to change all that
and be fit again?
Well, now you can,
when you sign up for

(HORN BLARING)
Bye, son.
Have a good time.
My little boy.
You listen to
the caring health counselors.
I will, Ma.
So long, Harold.
I hope you lose
a couple of pounds.
(LAUGHING) I'm going
to lose more than
a couple of pounds, Stinky.
When I come back,
I'm going to be skinny,
you'll see.
I know
you can do it, Harold.
(HORN BLARING)
Bye!
(HORN BLARING)
STINKY: I wonder
how skinny he'll be.
He's probably so skinny,
we won't even
recognize him.
There he is.
Bye, Captain.
I had a great time.
Hey, you guys,
what's new?
(WHISPERING)
Don't say anything.
Don't worry, Arnold.
We know
how to be discreet.
Harold,
what happened?
You're as big
as a house.
What do you mean?
Have you looked
in the mirror lately?
That just shows
what you know.
They don't allow
mirrors on the ship.
Well, you might
want to take
a gander at one,
on account that
you're as big as a house.
What are they
talking about, Arnold?
(SIGHS)
Who's that guy?
That's you.
That's me?
I guess you
put on a couple
of pounds.
Here we are
with our Harold home.
Enjoying a nice dinner.
Everything's
back to normal.
Right.
Everything's back to normal.
Family together again.
Nothing's changed.
I'm gigantic, aren't I?
(NERVOUS LAUGH)
Oh, Harold,
don't be ridiculous.
Where'd you get that?
You're perfectly normal.
You can take
the extra weight off
in no time.
What "extra weight"?
I just said,
he's perfectly normal.
Who's disagreeing?
Did I say he wasn't normal?
You're perfectly
normal, son.
Of course, he is.
What's wrong with him?
Nothing.
Nothing's wrong with him.
I'm a gigantic freak.
Harold...
Harold, please, your father
and I are discussing.
A couple of pounds,
that's all I'm saying.
What couple
of pounds?
I don't know what
you're talking about.
He's a growing boy,
for crying in a bucket.
Granted, But,
there's growing,
and then there's growing.
Jerry!
(CRASHES)
SID:
I'm telling you, guys,
he's enormous.
I reckon he gained
pretty near 100 pounds.
At least.
Oh, please,
nobody could gain
100 pounds
in five weeks.
Hey.
There he is.
Oh, my word.
Well, there he is.
My favorite customer.
Where have you been, Tubby?
I was on vacation
to lose weight.
Oh! I see that
went well. (LAUGHING)
I suppose you want the usual,
six Mr. Fudgies.
(LAUGHING)
Not today.
I was wondering if
you had any Mr. Fudgies
that were low-fat?
Yeah sure, I got
low-fat Mr. Fudgies.
Half the calories
and half the taste.
(LAUGHING)
Great.
I'll take 12 of them.
Twelve low-fat Mr. Fudgies
is the same as
six regular Mr. Fudgies.
Just leave me alone.
It's none of your business.
But, Harold...
Leave me alone, Arnold.
(CRYING)
Just leave me alone.
SID: Nobody's even
seen him in over a week.
STINKY: I heard he went
and holed up in his room
and ain't coming out.
SID: He's probably
too busy eating
to come out.
(LAUGHING)
STINKY: And he's
probably too big to fit
out the door anyway.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
JERRY: Nice of you
to visit our Harold.
ARNOLD: I thought
maybe I could cheer him up.
Harold, someone's
here to see you.
HAROLD: Go away!
It's the pizza man.
(BANGING)
(GROANS)
Forget it, Arnold.
I'm fat and I'm always
going to be fat.
There's nothing
you or anybody else
can do about it.
That's ridiculous.
There's ways
to lose weight.
Ha! Like that
cruise I went on?
I mean, other ways.
You could exercise,
start eating healthier.
I can't do that stuff.
Look at me.
I'm a big fat slob
and I haven't
moved in weeks.
I can barely lift my arms.
I could help you, Harold.
I don't want
anyone to see me
and laugh at me.
We can do it at night.
We can do it somewhere
where no one will see us.
Come on.
What have you
got to lose?
(GASPING)
(GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
I told you Arnold,
I can't do it.
You can do it, Harold.
I know you can.
Forget it, Arnold.
I can't lose weight.
I tried and I tried,
and I can't, okay?
The Jolly Olly Man
was right.
He said, if he had
more customers like me,
then he could
retire to Florida.
And Sid and Stinky
were laughing about me
because I was so fat.
And then some
little kid told his mommy
I was a fat man.
And then she said,
"No, Johnny,
"no, he's not a fat man,
"he's a fat boy."
And so, I went on
the cruise to get skinny
but I was so worried
about people thinking
I was fat,
that I ate
more and more.
And then I just got
really, really fat.
And I'm just a big,
dumb, giant, fat freak.
(SOBBING)
This all happened
because people were
making fun of you
and telling you,
you were fat?
That's what I just said.
Weren't you listening?
But, did you think
you were fat?
Huh?
Did you think you were fat?
Of course not.
I liked the way I was.
Well, there's your answer.
What are you
talking about?
All you have to do is
lose enough weight to get
back to the way you were.
You know,
back to the old Harold.
You mean,
back to my old fat self?
Hey, that wouldn't be so hard.
Maybe it would even be fun.
Okay Arnold, I think
I can do it now.
Then, let's do it.
Yeah, let's do it.
But, can we eat first?
I'm starving.
(INSPIRATIONAL SONG PLAYING)
STINKY: What's going on?
Harold's finally
coming out in the daylight.
How fat is he now?
I for one think
it's just gruesome
to parade poor Harold
in front of the whole
neighborhood,
just so we can be shocked
at how fat he's gotten.
I should've
brought my camera.
But Arnold, what if they still
think I'm fat?
The important thing
is what you think.
Right, right.
What I think, okay.
I'm ready.
(ALL GASPING)
I can't believe it.
Harold,
you look fantastic.
It's like
you're wasting away.
It's a complete
transformation.
(ALL CHATTERING)
HAROLD: Hey,
it's the Jolly Olly Man.
Let's celebrate!
STINKY: Hey, Harold,
bet you a quarter you can't
eat 50 Mr. Fudgies.
HAROLD: You're on. (LAUGHING)
