Timothy Goes to School, Season 1

[After the class --on the bus-- arrives at the science museum, Mrs. Jenkins and Ms. Appleberry get off the bus. Mrs. Jenkins gets off first, then, Ms. Appleberry comes off next to her. Next, she --Ms. Appleberry-- counts students off the bus as they --one by one-- get off the bus.]

Mrs. Jenkins:
We are here, children. Quick sticks!

Ms. Appleberry:
[counting] One, two, three, four...!

[When Ms. Appleberry says this, she counts Grace as number 1, Doris as number 2, Yoko as number 3, and Timothy as number 4. As the "count" pauses, Timothy --before getting off-- becomes excited.]

Timothy:
Oh boy! [gets off the bus] We are going to the museum. I cannot wait to go inside.

[It is revealed that Timothy's buddy/partner/team mate was Nora. In other words, "He was paired with Nora".]

Mrs. Jenkins:
[to the rest of the class] Everybody, find your buddy.

[As Timothy races to the museum's double front doors --thinking that Nora is with him-- the scene cuts to Ms. Appleberry. And she continues counting. The students --one by one during the count-- get off the bus. And now, Ms. Appleberry is at numbers 9 and 10. That is, as she says...!]

Ms. Appleberry:
[counting] ...nine, ten...! (Ten? Only ten?)

[Someone is missing even though Nora was supposed to be number 11.]

Ms. Appleberry:
Oh, my! We are one short! Someone is missing!

[The scene cuts to Timothy.]

Timothy:
Where is Nora?

[At first Timothy thinks he has Nora with him. But since she's scared and won't go in, he realizes that she isn't there.]

Henry:
Here she is.

Nora:
I really want to go, Timothy. But I am scared.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Timothy? Nora? Is everything okay?

Timothy:
It is okay, Mrs. J. If Nora wants to stay on the bus with Henry, I should stay too.

Nora:
But, Timothy, you love dinosaurs. You must go.

Timothy:
I am not going if you are not going.

[Everyone gasps if Nora is not going]

Nora:
[changes her mind and decides to go] All right. But if you, Timothy, promise to hold my hand.
