The Aptitude Test / Oskar Gets a Job - S3-E9

Arnold: Look, you wanted me to help you get a job, and I did.
Oskar: Yeah, you did. Good for you. [To Grandma] I'll be right back, my beautiful Fatima!
Arnold: Your first day on the job, you said you had the stomach flu, and today, you said you had a bad back.
Oskar: What's your point?
Arnold: My point is, are you going to have another excuse tomorrow, or are you going to do your own job instead of making me do it for you?
Oskar: Arnold, of course I'm going to do my job, don't worry.
Arnold: Good.
Oskar: But I can't tomorrow, it's a national holiday from my old country, I forgot to tell you.
Arnold: That's it! I'm tired of all your excuses!
Oskar: Arnold, you seem a little cranky, maybe you should take a nap.
Arnold: Look, I only helped you because you said you were desperate. You said you wanted to change. I guess I was wrong. Mr. Kokoshka, I'm sorry, but you are a huge loser!

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Harold's age is inconsistent throughout the series. Harold has his Bar Mitzvah in "Harold's Bar Mitzvah", establishing that he is 13 years old, and in "Hey Harold!", he tells Patty that he was held back a couple years, which is why he is still in fourth grade. However, in "Helga on the Couch", he is shown in the same preschool class as the other kids, and in "The Journal", he is shown playing in the park with the other kids, and he is a baby just like all of them.
