Mrs. Jenkins: Okay, everyone, put away your thingies, then, sit down under the Learning Tree. [off-screen] It's Yoko's turn for "In the Spotlight".
[Everybody except the Franks sit down under the Learning Tree. Frank #1 holds the football while running through the classroom because he and Frank #2 are playing football inside]
Frank #1: [to Frank #2] Head's up, Frank. One, two, me to you!
[Frank #1 throws the football. But on his throw, Frank #2 bumps into the Earth globe as he catches and grabs the football. Then he catches the globe before it hits the floor as he almost had broken it.]
Frank #2: [cautiously because the globe almost breaking was a close call] Oh, that was close.
[Luckily, the globe is not broken. In fact, at first sight, nothing is. Then, Mrs. Jenkins goes over to the Franks. And she asks them to put away their football because there is no playing sports --baseball, basketball, football, or soccer-- inside.]
Mrs. Jenkins: [to Frank #1 and Frank #2] Frank and Frank, put your football in the Cloak Room, please. You know, we don't play sports inside.
Frank #1 and Frank #2: Yes, Mrs. Jenkins.
[Mrs. Jenkins leaves as Frank #2 put the globe back on the top of the drawer.]
Frank #1: Let me put it away. Throw me a running pass.
[Frank #2 sees Mrs. Jenkins helps Lilly untangling the jump rope. Then he turns back to his brother.]
Frank #2: OK. But you better not miss.
Frank #1: I never miss.
[Frank #1 and Frank #2 play sports in the classroom anyway. So, Frank #1 runs through the classroom just as Frank #2 throws the football to him. On Frank #2's throw, Frank #1 catches the football. But the football, it slipped out of his hands. And he --Frank #1-- missed it.]
Frank #1: Whoops!
[Suddenly, the football hits Yoko's taketombo breaking it into pieces. Yoko gasps after what the Franks have just done. Then Mrs. Jenkins and the other students --especially Yoko-- they stare at the broken pieces of the taketombo after the Franks broke it from playing football in the classroom.]
Frank #1: [to Frank #2 after he misses the football] I...! I missed.
[The thrown football --offscreen-- lands on the ground. Mrs. Jenkins --offscreen-- picks up, catches, and grabs the football that Frank #1 and Frank #2 threw after they made it break Yoko's taketombo.]
Mrs. Jenkins: [holding the football which the Franks just threw and to the Franks] Frank and Frank, you two have broken Yoko's taketombo. [still holding the football and continuing to the Franks] What do you two say to Yoko?
Frank #1: I am... sorry, Yoko.
Frank #2: Yeah, we're sorry. We didn't mean to break it.
[Yoko stares sadly at the Frank twins and looks at the broken taketombo pieces.]
Mrs. Jenkins: [still holding the football and then to Yoko] I'm sorry, Yoko. Perhaps your mother can help you fix (or replace) it?
[Yoko becomes really upset as tears roll down her cheeks]
Mrs. Jenkins: Let me help you pick up the broken pieces. [to the students as "In the Spotlight" day is cancelled because of Frank #1 and Frank #2 after they broke the taketombo] We are not having "In the Spotlight" (day) today.
[Frank #1 and Frank #2 sadly watches Yoko picks up the broken taketombo pieces]
Grace: [regarding about Yoko's broken taketombo] Ooh! You wrecked everything, Frank and Frank!
Timothy: [also regarding about it; as the work from Yoko getting the taketombo as a present from her grandmother was for nothing] Her grandmother sent that to her all the way from Japan.
Lilly: Poor Yoko.
Doris: [as "In the Spotlight" day is cancelled and lost for good thanks to Frank #1 and Frank #2 who broke Yoko's taketombo] Aw! No more "In the Spotlight" (day)!
[Not only is Yoko's taketombo gone but "In the Spotlight" day is also gone too, all of it.]
