4.14 "Hey Arnold!" - "Headless Cabbie" Quiz

Answer: Gorilla

The episode starts with Arnold and his friends gathered in a room at night. Gerald is finishing up a story about a hairy man and a gorilla, which Stinky describes as "sort of scary". He says he can tell a scarier tale about a "Monkey Cat".

Answer: Bear claws

Stinky was wearing his nighttime clothes, including a nightcap, which were all green. He was also wearing funny slippers that were light brown and resembled a bear's claws.

Answer: Blue

Harold is often seen as the bully in "Hey Arnold!" However, he also shows himself to be insecure sometimes. Harold always wears a blue shirt and a blue hat. In this episode, Harold also had a blue dinosaur, which he kept holding onto for dear life after Arnold told his scary story.

Answer: Pizza

Stinky's "Monkey Cat" story fails to impress or scare his friends. Harold says he is hungry, but Sid reminds him that they ate all the pizza. Sid initially suggests that they go to sleep since there's nothing left to eat, but he quickly takes it back when Gerald says it's only 6:30.

Answer: Horse

Arnold is sure that his "headless cabbie" story will scare his friends. The story is set 100 years ago during a foggy night. It begins with a "lonely cabbie" driving a red carriage, which was being pulled by a horse. The cab was then hailed by a mysterious woman. The woman tells the cabbie that she is upset because she recently lost her dog.

Answer: Scarf

The cabbie agrees to take the woman to the park so she can clear her head. The lady then offers the driver her red scarf because the weather is chilly, and he accepts it gratefully. They then hear a dog barking, so the lady instructs the driver to go faster.

They end up following a dog as fast as they can and are spooked by a man who has a giant golden hook instead of an arm. As they keep going at full speed, the scarf gets caught up in a tree, which means that the cab is now being driven by a "headless cabbie".

Answer: To get ice cream

Arnold's story scares Harold to the point he is frightened to leave the house. Stinky suggests that they go out to get ice cream, and they convince Harold to go with them. The fastest way to get to the ice cream shop is through the same park that Arnold mentioned in the story. Harold doesn't want to go but is once again persuaded by his friends to overcome his fear.

Answer: Eugene

The boys find a dog barking which reminds them, and especially Harold, of the scary story that Arnold told earlier. They then hear what they think might be a carriage, but it turns out to be Eugene practicing his clog dancing. He is wearing a funny attire that included a purple headband.

Answer: Mr. Potts

Though at first only Harold was scared, the rest of the boys become spooked when a startling number of coincidences start to happen. Not only did they find a barking dog, but they were also welcomed by a strange man at the end of the tunnel (which turned out to be a watch salesman) and saw a red scarf hanging from a tree. Arnold is the only one to remain calm, but then they see a horse and a carriage being driven by a mysterious figure that they mistake for the "headless cabbie". Arnold, Eugene, Gerald, Harold, Sid, and Stinky all run away.

It is then revealed that Ernie (otherwise known as Mr. Potts), a demolition worker in Hillwood, was hiding in the dark inside the carriage. He explains that he was driving at night to make some extra cash.

Answer: Mr. Hyunh

His laugh really did sound crazy! Mr. Hyunh is originally from Vietnam and likes to hang out with Mr. Potts. He was maniacally laughing in the back of the carriage, which scared the boys into thinking they were actually looking at the "headless cabbie". Mr. Hyunh even admits he has a "very creepy laugh". All the boys ride into the buggy and make it back home safely.

When the boys reached Arnold's house, Stinky and Harold were holding a popsicle while Arnold and Gerald were having ice cream. Sid decides to keep teasing Harold, who is still scared of the "headless cabbie". The episode ends when a lady with a red scarf eerily asks Ernie for a ride.
