Grudge Match
Grandpa and Big Bob decide to settle responsibility for a car accident on the golf course, despite the fact that Grandpa has never played golf in his life

Written by Joseph Purdy
Storyboard Direction by Kurt Dumas
Animation Direction by Frank Weiss
Storyboard Artist: Caesar Martinez

Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Helga - Francesca Smith
Grandpa - Dan Castellaneta
Big Bob, (uncredited) man at restaurant - Maurice LaMarche
Golf store owner - Charles Shaughnessy

  • The root bear floats didn't have any ice cream in them
  • From Arnold's reaction when Grandpa called him "one of my favorite grandsons", it's safe to assume that Arnold is his only grandson (of course, they didn't mention granddaughters...)
  • Inside Scott's Golf Shop ("the lazy person's sport"), the sign says Scott's Pro Shop (the "pro shop" is usually the area in a golf course that's pretty much like a golf store; also, some sports stores like to call their golf equipment area a "pro shop")
  • After the scene with the bees, look in the bookcase behind Grandpa, and you'll see dolls of Arnold and Gerald
  • The golfers in that city must not be very good if both Grandpa and Big Bob can reach the green on the fly from the tee on a par 4 hole
  • OOPS - Grandpa cheated to win!  While you are allowed to hit the ball out of the water without penalty, it's a two stroke penalty if you put your club into the water before swinging at it.  (The same rule applies if the club touches the sand in a sand trap.)

Polishing Rhonda
After Rhonda and Patty almost get into a fight at school, they're sent to the same finishing school, where Patty's politeness gives her the advantage over Rhonda's obnoxiousness

  • Rhonda's parents look like each other (as well as Rhonda) - for that matter, Patty's parents look a lot like each other as well
  • When Patty is pouring tea to Rhonda, look behind them; on the dresser, there's a picture of Harold in a heart
  • Rex Smythe-Higgins III was in Rhonda and Patty's class as well
  • The kid from "The List" (the one who stole Arnold's baseball) was in the audience at the graduation
