Mr Woodruff:
You know why I like to teach children, Jack? So I don't get so wrapped up in being an adult. So I can remember there are other things that are important in life - like riding a bike, playing in a treehouse, splashing in water with your good shoes on. And you my friend were my most special student, and, until recently, you were everything I ever wanted in a student. You were a shooting star amongst ordinary stars. Have you ever seen a shooting star, Jack?

Jack:
No...

Mr Woodruff:
It's wonderful. It passes quickly, but while it's here it just lights up the whole sky - it's the most beautiful thing you'd ever want to see. So beautiful that the other stars stop and watch. You almost never see one.

Jack:
Why?

Mr Woodruff:
Because they're very rare - quite rare - but I saw one. I did.

Jack:
I just want to be a regular star.

Mr Woodruff:
Jack, you'll never be regular. You're spectacular.
