- 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: [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]
- Arnold Perlstein: [to Liz, after burping the bus out, thanks to drinking Wanda's seltzer] Did I break the seltzer chunking record?
- [Liz shakes her head]
- Arnold Perlstein: I'll never break a record. I'll never win anything. I'll never even get to eat lunch.
- Ms. Valerie Frizzle: [appearing back in the classroom with the rest of the class, about to present Arnold's lunch] Did someone say "lunch"?
- Arnold Perlstein: [as he pops an olive into his mouth] Nothing like Cheezie Weezies with a green olive chaser!
