List of voters for the quote

[After making the craft models and hanging them up on the wall in the hallway, the scene then cuts to Mrs. Jenkins and her eleven kids looking at the models of themselves which they created] Mrs. Jenkins: [off-screen] What fun! [sees the craft models of herself and her students] Just look at all of you! Doris: [about the models/figures] I am the biggest. [Doris puts her hand on Nora's head to compare the sizes.] Doris: And Nora is the smallest. Nora: Huh? Wait! I am bigger than Charles! [Nora correctly knows that she is bigger than Charles. Then, not lying about what she stated with her size and Charles's, she looks at Charles's model. She indeed is telling the truth. She goes over to the figures and finds Charles's project then turns to him and asks him how on Earth he grew so big.] Nora: How (in the Earth) did you get so big? Charles: [tells Nora how he grew big] I'm growing. Nora: You're not that big. [Not believing Charles, Nora looks at Charles's figure and finds it not touching the floor like her figure and the other students's. Indeed, Charles's figure is supposed to be touching the floor. She sees that Charles has moved his figure a few inches higher up as big as the other "bigger" students. Just so he could be big like them. She knows that Charles was just playing a joke on her. She's the only one who does not believe Charles about him being big. Charles had moved his model a few inches higher so he could be that size. Nora --not fooled about Charles's false pretense to be big and finding out it was only a joke-- she also sees his figure in the incorrect spot. Charles has moved his model a few inches higher rather than touching the floor. It indeed was a joke.] Nora: [to Charles about his figure project] Hey...! [She turns to Charles.] Nora: [gets annoyed about Charles's model, moves on closer, puts her nose in Charles's nose, and glares at him] IT IS SUPPOSED TO TOUCH THE GROUND LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE'S! [So Nora is not going to get out of Charles's face --and let him go-- until he corrects his figure. When Charles seems reluctant to comply about his model --after Nora tells him it's supposed to touch the ground-- Nora threatens to keep her nose in his. This leads Charles to stick to glue with her until he corrects it. When Charles sees the look on Nora, he does as she asks. It's probably because he does not want to be stuck with Nora forever. Charles does not argue with Nora. However, he sighs sadly. But he --unwillingly-- listens to Nora and goes over to his figure to fix its position. He moves his figure project back down after Nora makes him get it to "touch the ground like everybody else's" when she told him it was supposed to touch the ground. He moves his figure into the correct place.] Charles: Okay. [After moving back down his figure, he sadly gives up his false tactics to be big. At last, after he has his project correctly moved to the right spot, he is the smallest again. He --standing with his project behind him-- faces in front of the class and tells them that he's the smallest really.] Charles: [to Nora and the rest of the class] I'm the smallest. [He admits he's the smallest. But he still wishes that he was bigger like his other kindergarten students after showing throughout the episode that he was bigger enough to do anything like the other "big students" in the classroom. He still wishes he could pretend that he was bigger like Timothy, Yoko, Lilly, or even "the biggest" Doris] Claude: [to Charles] Huh, you are a shrimp! [So Charles found out that he wasn't big but the smallest in the class. That is, even though he did all those things that he was good at all along before this to be "bigger". Since it annoyed Nora, he was forced to give up on it and admit he was smallest. That also means if he says the word "big" again --at least about his size-- it would annoy Nora again.]
