Highly quotable.
Dad, needs work.
I will simply go outside and eat dirt.
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Arnie's mother and father wait up as the schoolmate he invited to stay the night finally arrives, and Arnie has to explain that his guest is a very foreign exchange student named Ishboo. Ishboo shows up bearing an odd gift, greets Arnie's parents with a startling display of affection and then makes a string of increasingly unreasonable demands about food, bedtime and who gets the bed. As Arnie tries to keep the peace, the family bends over backward to follow his customs until a late-night drink request and the stroke of a mysterious hour send the evening off the rails.
