Timothy Goes to School, Season 2

Timothy:
Mom, in my last letter, Fritz said he had a big surprise for me. It sure is taking a long time.

Timothy's Mom:
Yes, it has been a while.

Timothy:
I like getting letters from him, and I like sending him letters, but--

Timothy's Mom:
But you miss him, huh?

Timothy:
I miss playing with him.

Timothy's Mom:
Well, maybe you and Fritz can visit each other sometime?

Timothy:
I guess.

Timothy's Mom:
You can do all the fun things you used to do.

Timothy:
I just wish he still lived here so I can play with him all the time.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Is everything all right, Timothy?

Timothy:
I miss Fritz.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Well, tell me what you miss about him.

Timothy:
I miss playing shells together. I remember when we made beaches with him.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Why don't you draw a picture of that.

Timothy:
Yeah.

[Grace sees Fritz's picture of a microscope and bugs and worms and says her gross statement out loud when Fritz used to collect bugs and worms.]

Grace:
HE USED TO COLLECT GROSS THINGS LIKE BUGS AND WORMS!

[Grace --after saying this-- shakes her head in disgust and with disgusted face]

Mrs. Jenkins:
[regarding to the episode "Get Well Soon"; an episode from the first season] That also reminds me of the time when I got hurt and Fritz made me a bird feeder.

[The mailman puts the letters in the mailbox until he spots Horace, Morris and Boris trying to get through the doorway]

Boris:
[off-screen] Hey, get out of my way.

Horace:
[off-screen] Stop, [on-screen] I'm telling mom.

Morris:
[pushes his brothers out of the way] Aw, get out of here! [grabs Boris and kicks Horace] Stop it!

Horace:
It's my turn to get the mail!

[Horace, Morris and Boris begin to fight and argue who will get the mail. The mailman sees Doris' brothers race to the mailbox and runs away from Doris' house. The scene cuts to the mailbox]

Boris:
[off-screen] Let me get it!

Morris:
[races to the mailbox] Get out of my way, [opens the mailbox] It's my turn!

Horace:
[pushes Morris] Excuse me!

Morris:
[off-screen] Hey, no fair!

[Horace grabs the letters from the mailbox, but Boris bumps into Horace dropping the letters. Boris looks inside the mailbox and finds no Crunchy Puff flyer inside but darkness and emptiness]

Boris:
[finds no Crunchy Puff flyer inside] Aw, no Crunchy Puff flyer. [closes the mailbox]

Horace, Morris and Boris:
Aww!

Boris:
[walks sadly back inside] Now we have to wait another whole day!

Morris:
[sadly follows Boris] Aw, it's never going to get here.

Horace:
Hey, what about the mail?

Morris:
[off-screen] It's your turn.

Boris:
[off-screen] Yeah, you can get it.

Horace:
No fair, I'm telling.

Doris:
Hello, Lilly.

Lilly:
Hi, Doris.

Doris:
Did you forget anything? Hmm?

Lilly:
I don't think so.

Doris:
Think a little bit harder.

Lilly:
[thinks she forgot something] Hmm...

[Doris knows that Lilly had forgot to deliver her invitation]

Lilly:
Yes, I did forget something.

Doris:
I thought so.

Lilly:
I have to give Mrs. Jenkins her invitation. [runs to the school building so she can give the invitation to Mrs. Jenkins] Thanks, Doris.

Yoko:
You are trying really hard to be a good friend, Doris.

Doris:
Lilly doesn't know that.

Timothy:
She will. You'll see!

Doris:
Lilly, want to trade lunches?

Lilly:
Sure. Thanks, Doris.

Doris:
You're welcome, Lilly.

Lilly:
What did you bring?

Doris:
Ham and cheese and lettuce and tomato.

Lilly:
Mmm, I like ham and cheese and lettuce and tomato.

[Lilly takes a cottage cheese sandwich out of her lunchbox.]

Lilly:
I have a cottage cheese sandwich.

[Doris sees the cottage cheese sandwich.]

Doris:
Cottage cheese. Yum.

[Doris and Lilly trade sandwiches.]

Doris:
[about to eat the cottage cheese sandwich] Mmm.

[Doris on-screen tries to take a bite from the sandwich. Lilly off-screen takes one bite of the sandwich, finds mustard on it, and throws the sandwich which had mustard.]

Lilly:
YECCH! [spits] IT HAS MUSTARD ON IT!

[Indeed, Lilly nearly gets sick from tasting the mustard on the sandwich --which had meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato.]

Lilly:
[sticks out her tongue in disgust] PAH!

[Lilly hates mustard on sandwiches. Then she washes it down with a glass of water.]

Nora:
[calls Timothy] TIMOTHY...!? I NEED YOUR HELP (WITH THE TEETER TOTTER)! MY END IS NOT GOING DOWN!

Timothy:
I am sort of busy, Nora.

Nora:
[calls Timothy] BUT I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!

Timothy:
All right.

[Timothy stops playing ball with the Franks and runs to Nora who is playing on the teeter totter with Doris.]

Doris:
Hop on, Timothy.

[Timothy goes on to Nora's end on the teeter totter and rides with her. He sits behind Nora's back and hugs Nora.]

Timothy:
Okay.

Nora:
Thanks, Timothy. You are the greatest.

Doris:
This is way more fun.

Nora:
I can ride the teeter totter all day. What about you, Timothy?

[Timothy is really worn out of Nora bossing him around 24 hours a day and always wanting him to be her "servant". In fact, he thinks about being released from this challenge after he does this --that being the teeter totter-- for Nora.]

Timothy:
[hugging Nora] Yeah. All day.

[Timothy hugs Nora as he is helping her ride the teeter totter.]

Yoko:
What are you doing?

Timothy:
Hiding from Nora.

Yoko:
How come?

Timothy:
[about being Nora's servant] Being the greatest isn't so great after all. Nora keeps asking me to do stuff. I'm sick of it.

Yoko:
Maybe you should tell her.

Timothy:
Yeah, I should.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Is there something wrong, Nora?

Nora:
NORMAN'S GONE!

Frank #1:
Norman?

Frank #2:
Is gone?

Doris:
Ooh, I hope he doesn't come near me!

[Fritz finds the red rock on Charles's castle. Even though it was not Charles's turn yet, Charles snuck to the box, took the red rock, then he added it to his castle again when it was Fritz's turn.]

Fritz:
Hey!

[Fritz looks into his rock collection box. And he finds the red rock gone --that is, when Charles took it use it for his castle.]

Fritz:
HE TOOK IT!

[He --after finding the red rock gone-- steals back the red rock by grabbing it off of Charles's castle; resulting the castle to get smashed a little]

Timothy:
[thinking about the red rock while sharpening a pencil] If I give the rock to Fritz, Charles might get mad. And if I give it to Charles, then Fritz might get mad.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Uh, I think that is sharpened enough, Timothy.

Timothy:
[seeing that half the pencil is gone] Oh, I guess I wasn't paying attention.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Oh, tell me about your painting, Yoko.

Yoko:
The birds are cranes, and they are for peace and fortune.

Mrs. Jenkins:
And what are the cherry blossoms for?

Yoko:
Oh, they're just pretty.

Mrs. Jenkins:
[giggles] Yes, they are.

Yoko:
Mama?

Yoko's Mom:
Yes, my little cherry blossom?

Yoko:
Can we have juice at our tea ceremony tomorrow?

Yoko's Mom:
It is not customary. We have green tea and sweet cakes made with care.

Yoko:
Can we play games?

Yoko's Mom:
Yoko, is something wrong?

Yoko:
No, Mama. It's just that Nora says they do things differently at her house.

Yoko's Mom:
Then (Nora), she should enjoy learning how we do things at our house. Don't worry, cherry blossom. Everyone will enjoy the tea ceremony.

[According to Yoko's mom, even though Nora does things differently at her house with her family, she is going to learn how Yoko does things at her house.]

Yoko:
Thank you, Mama.

Yoko:
[does admire Nora's treats; which are krispie squares] They are delicious, Nora. [but regards to her traditional treats which are the Japanese sweet cakes] But we have Japanese sweet cakes.

Yoko:
Wait! There is more. Mama brought Japanese sweet cakes.

Yoko's Mom:
[gasps] Oh dear!

Yoko:
What is it, Mama?

Yoko's Mom:
[about the traditional treats which are the sweet cakes; after she forgot to bring them] I forgot to bring the sweet cakes!

[It is revealed that Yoko's Mom forgot to bring the traditional sweets which are the sweet cakes. While it is unknown where Yoko's Mom left them, it is possibly maybe she left them at home and forgot to bring them.]

Yoko:
But we made them special just to end the tea ceremony, Mama.

Yoko's Mom:
I am sorry. What should we do?

[Yoko suggests to celebrate with Nora's treats which are the krispie squares.]

Yoko:
I know. Nora made krispie squares.

[The scene cuts to Nora. Nora looks surprised, but smiles in a little smile. Then she --offscreen-- goes to her backpack and takes out her marshmallow bars.]

[Before recess.]

Mrs. Jenkins:
[to the class] Before we go outside to recess, there is one thing I want you to all do. It's how to say, "Thank you" in Japanese.

[As Mrs. Jenkins says this, Lilly --through a coloration error-- looks like a miniature Mrs. Jenkins.]

Grace:
Maybe you should sit with Fritz on the way home?

Timothy:
I just don't want to sit with Fritz (on the way home)!

Fritz:
Well, that is good! Because I do not want to sit with you!

Grace:
Can't you two stop it? You're friends.

Timothy:
Not any more. A good friend would trust me in the first place!

Fritz:
And a good friend wouldn't show someone else how to do my trick!

Timothy:
[off-screen] I didn't!

Fritz:
[off-screen] You did too!

Timothy:
[off-screen] I did not!

Fritz:
[off-screen] Did too!

Timothy:
[off-screen] Did too!

Fritz:
[off-screen] Did...!

Grace:
STOP THAT!

[Everyone looked at Grace and Timothy and Fritz fall silent. Grace sighs after stopping Timothy and Fritz's arguing about the blame.]

Grace:
[to Timothy, Fritz, and the rest of the class] Timothy didn't show me the magic trick, I peeked in your magic book.

[Fritz knows that Timothy was right all along when Timothy had said he didn't show Grace the magic tricks. This eventually leads Grace to admit her mistake.]

Fritz:
[to Grace] But, how did you do that? It was in my backpack!

Grace:
Umm, I just took it out of your backpack.

Everyone else:
[off-screen; gasping] GRACE...?!

[Claude, Charles, Doris, The Franks, Fritz, and Timothy stare at Grace.]

Grace:
[confessing] I PUT IT BACK WHEN I WAS DONE!

[In the end, Timothy and Fritz's friendship is restored. Grace walks away --despite restoring Timothy and Fritz's friendship.]

Yoko:
Mama! Mama, look! Look what came in the mail.

Yoko's Mom:
It is from your grandmother, all the way from Japan. You can open it, Yoko. It is addressed to you.

Yoko:
Okay.

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.]

Big Frank:
[regarding about Yoko's broken taketombo] Is there something you boys want to tell me?

Frank #1 and Frank #2:
[dealing about their guilty conscience after they broke Yoko's taketombo] We broke it.

Frank #2:
We were playing football when we weren't supposed to.

Frank #1:
And we made Yoko feel really bad.

Big Frank:
I see. Well, do you two feel sorry?

Frank #2:
Very sorry.

Frank #1:
Really, really sorry.

Big Frank:
And did you say "sorry" to Yoko?

Frank #1:
Uh huh.

Frank #2:
Yes, we did.

Big Frank:
[tries to sort out the problem so the Franks can make it up] Well, then I guess there's only one thing left to do

Frank #1 and Frank #2:
What, Dad?

Big Frank:
Finish the "three sorries."

Frank #1:
"Three sorries?"

Frank #2:
I have never heard of the "three sorries".

Big Frank:
[lays down the three "sorries"] Well, first, there's feeling sorry, second, there's saying "sorry," and third, there's doing something to show you're sorry.

Lilly:
Do you have any extra ribbon, Charles?

Charles:
Sure.

Lilly:
Thanks.

Charles:
I'm going to bring my new kite to Hilltop Park, Lilly. What are you going to bring?

Lilly:
A blanket to sit on and an extra snack.

Grace:
You need to bring more than that for a field trip!

[Grace lays down what Lilly really needs for an outdoor field trip and more than just a blanket and an extra snack.]

Grace:
[to Lilly] You need bug spray, and sunscreen, and a flashlight, just in case.

[Lilly tries to count the other three things. That is, the bug spray, the sunscreen and the flashlight. But she realizes she may not have enough fingers to remember all of it.]

Lilly:
I am afraid that I don't have enough fingers to remember all that.

Grace:
Don't worry, Lilly. I'll bring enough for everybody.

Lilly:
You always know what to do, Grace.

Grace:
You can sit next to me on the bus, if you like.

Lilly:
Thanks, Grace!

Lilly:
Look, there's a bug on me!

Grace:
Don't worry. I have cream for anyone who gets bug bites.

[Grace knows that she is prepared to "help" one of the other students if Lily or any of her schoolfriends get insect bites --from insects-- as she has said this.]

Lilly:
That's okay, Grace. It's just a ladybug. [watches the ladybug fly away] And there it goes!

[It begins to rain]

Mrs. Jenkins:
[after everyone else is on the bus] Well, boys and girls? I am afraid this rain isn't going to let up. We are going to have to say "Goodbye" to Hilltop Park for tonight.

Everyone:
[their reaction when they hear that this year's day at Hilltop Park is cancelled due to the rain which causes their "Hilltop Park" day to be washed out] Awe.

Mrs. Jenkins:
I hope everyone had a wonderful time.

[Then the bus starts moving and on the way back to school.]

Timothy:
I want to be a shutterbug.

Timothy's Dad:
All right, I'll go get the camera.

Timothy:
Really? I can use your camera?

Timothy's Mom:
As long as you handle it carefully.

Timothy:
Oh, I'll be really, really careful.

[During "Show and Share"]

Timothy:
I'm learning how to be a shutterbug.

Frank #1:
Uh, a shutterbug?

Frank #2:
What kind of a bug is it?

Timothy:
[giggles] A shutterbug is somebody who likes to take pictures.

Timothy:
Mrs. Jenkins?

Mrs. Jenkins:
Yes, Timothy.

Timothy:
May I take a picture of the whole class for my photo album?

Mrs. Jenkins:
A class picture. That's a grand idea!

Nora:
That's not the friendship stone.

Lilly:
I know. I've lost it, Nora.

Nora:
What? You've lost the stone?

Lilly:
Sorry, I didn't mean to lose it.

Nora:
Why didn't you tell me?

Lilly:
Because...I thought you wouldn't be my friend anymore.

Nora:
Lilly, you'll always be my friend.

Lilly:
Really? Thanks, Nora! You'll always be my friend, too.

Claude:
Hey, Frank. Do you want to ride on the teeter-totter with me?

Frank #1:
Me?

Frank #2:
Or me?

Claude:
[laughs] It doesn't matter. I only need one of you on the other end.

Frank #1:
Umm, no, thanks, Claude.

Frank #2:
We play together.

Fritz:
Frank and Frank, do you want to play with me?

Timothy:
Do you want to play with me?

Frank #1:
Yeah, okay.

Frank #2:
Yeah, let's play!

Nora:
I don't know what I want to do when I grow up, Yoko.

Yoko:
It might help if you think about all the things you like to do.

Nora:
[giggles] You sound a lot like Mrs. J.

Yoko:
I do?

Nora:
Yeah, you know, like a teacher.

Yoko:
Really? Thank you. I wonder what it would be like to be a teacher.

Yoko:
Mrs. Jenkins?

Mrs. Jenkins:
Yes, Yoko.

Yoko:
Why did you want to be a teacher?

Mrs. Jenkins:
Well, I love working with children.

Yoko:
Uh huh?

Mrs. Jenkins:
And I like helping my students.

Yoko:
Mrs. Jenkins, there are so many things I want to be when I grow up, but I can't decide on just one.

Mrs. Jenkins:
You don't have to. I know you will do well of whatever you choose to do.

Yoko:
Thanks, Mrs. Jenkins.

Claude:
[off-screen] Mrs. Jenkins?

Mrs. Jenkins:
Yes, Claude?

Claude:
Since I'm the dentist, I should have a dentist drill. I'm going to bring in my dad's electric drill to use in the play. It goes "(insert drill imitation noises here)!".

[Claude mimics a dentist drill buzzing. Mrs. Jenkins reminds Claude the first time about the safety/prohibition of power tools.]

Mrs. Jenkins:
We can't have (nor allow) power tools in school. (They are not safe.) But it sounds like you can make drill noises all by yourself.

[As a result, power tools --real or toy-- are not allowed in school. So Claude isn't allowed to bring his father's power drill/electric drill or a toy drill if he has any toy tools. This is the first time he is told --by Mrs. Jenkins-- that the answer is "No" to power drills.]

[Claude still wants to use his father's drill for a dentist drill in the play]

Claude:
Mrs. Jenkins? I still think that this would be way better with a real drill.

[Mrs. Jenkins reminds Claude the second time about the safety/prohibition of power tools.]

Mrs. Jenkins:
I am sorry, Claude. The answer is still "No".

[Claude reacts when Mrs. Jenkins has told him the second time that the answer is "No" --"No" to power drills. That is, even if power tools --in the school brought by children-- are real or toy.]

Claude:
Being the dentist isn't any fun. I wish I were something else.

Yoko:
You can be the cavity, Claude. I don't mind being the dentist!

Claude:
Why would I want to be the cavity, Yoko? You're the bad guy!

[Yoko looks rather upset.]

Yoko's Mom:
Don't you like your costume, Yoko?

Yoko:
No, I don't want to be a cavity. It's no fun, isn't it?

Yoko's Mom:
Perhaps you will think of something to make your part more fun?

Yoko:
I guess so, Mama.

[Yoko is in her bedroom. She imagines what would happen if she switched with Claude --that being if Claude was the cavity and Yoko was the dentist.]

Yoko:
[pretending to be the dentist] I am the dentist! [in deep voice --as if to sound like the dentist speaking] DON'T WORRY! I CAN FIX IT! IT IS AS EASY AS CAN BE!

[In the play, the Franks are the junk food. Frank #1 is a candy bar, while Frank #2 is a bag of cracker jacks.]

Frank #1:
[as the role of the chocolate bar] THE TOOTHPASTE, TOOTHBRUSH, AND THE DENTAL FLOSS ARE NEVER GOING TO CATCH ME! I AM GOING TO BE HERE FOREVER AND MAKE A CAVITY!

[He gets off Yoko the tooth and creates a cavity.]

Yoko:
[as the role of the cavity] (Ow!) I am a cavity from candy and from cake. If you do not see a dentist, I can cause a toothache.

Claude:
[as the dentist] Let's have a look just to make sure that these teeth are healthy and strong.

[Claude --as the dentist-- he finds a cavity --and it is made by the Franks who are "the junk food".]

Claude:
[as the dentist --and wants to know what the "mouth" is eating] OH NO! WHAT IS THIS!?

[Claude as the dentist find the Franks who are pretending to be junk food. Claude --as the dentist-- sees the cavity which is Yoko. Then he turns to the Franks who are the junk food items. They are a candy bar and a bag of clodhoppers --or cracker jacks-- respectively.]

Frank #1:
[as one of the junk food items --that being the candy bar] A LUMPY, CRUNCHY, CANDY BAR! (AND FRANK #2 IS THE CRACKER JACKS!)

[Claude --as the dentist-- this is obviously not what he wanted to hear. He knows that the mouth has a cavity in one of its teeth.]

Claude:
[to the Franks --who are the sweets/junk food] YOU NEVER ARE GOING TO BE HERE FOR LONG!

[Claude pretends to get them off the teeth and off the tooth with cavity. Because now --in the play-- the junk food items --that being the Franks who are the candy bar and cracker jacks-- have created a cavity. The cavity is Yoko. Claude "destroys" both the chocolate bar and cracker jacks --played by the Franks-- and makes the mouth cut down with the junk food.]

Henry:
Good morning, Frank and Frank.

Frank #1:
Good morning, Henry.

Frank #2:
Hi, Henry.

[The Franks are trying to get inside the bus]

Frank #1:
Me before you, me first.

Frank #2:
No, me before you, me first.

Henry:
[off-screen] Now, one at a time there, boys. [on-screen] Didn't you go first yesterday, Frank?

Frank #2:
Uh-huh.

Henry:
Then, it's your brother's turn today. [chuckles]

[Frank #2 lets his brother go in the bus first]

Frank #1:
Me first! [giggling]

[The Franks had found a Saturn sticker on the floor]

Frank #1:
Hey, look what I found.

[Frank #2 looks at the Saturn sticker. Frank #1 decided to put the sticker on the back of Claude's head]

Frank #2:
What are you doing, Frank?

Frank #1:
Shh.

[Frank #1 tiptoes and puts the Saturn sticker on Claude's back head. Claude turns and sees the Franks giggling]

Claude:
What's so funny? [Charles, Nora and Doris laugh at Claude too] What?!

Doris:
Frank put Saturn on the back of your head. [giggles]

Claude:
Saturn? (What are you talking about?)

[Claude turns around and can't find the Saturn sticker. Doris, Charles and Nora laugh at him again until Claude takes off the Saturn sticker]

Claude:
[to the Franks; angrily] Very funny.

[The Franks pretend to sneeze and blow Yoko's paper chrysanthemum]

Frank #1:
Ah...

Frank #2:
Ah...

Frank #1 and Frank #2:
Ah-choo!

Yoko:
[gasps] Oh, you ruined my flower!

Frank #1:
I must have a cold.

Frank #2:
I must have a cold too.

[The Franks begin to laugh.]

Yoko:
That's not funny!

[Timothy and Yoko angrily watches the Franks walk away]

[The Franks put two pipe cleaner caterpillars on Doris' head]

Frank #1:
Did you see that, Frank?

Frank #2:
It looks like a caterpillar.

Frank #1:
It looks like two caterpillars.

Doris:
[gasps] Caterpillar?! (What caterpillars?) WHERE?!

Frank #1:
[off-screen] They're not on the ground.

[The Franks snicker as Doris looks for the pipe cleaner caterpillars]

Doris:
WHERE ARE THEY?!

Frank #1 and Frank #2:
[laughing] On your head!

[Doris looks up and freaks out]

Doris:
I'D HATE CREEPY CRAWLIES!!

[The Franks laugh so hard as Doris gets the pipe cleaner caterpillars out of her head]

Frank #1:
[laughing] They're not real caterpillars.

Frank #2:
[laughing] They are the pipe cleaner caterpillars.

Doris:
[angrily] You (almost) scared me!

[Just before Charles and Nora could jump into the leaf pile, the Franks are pretended to be tornadoes]

Nora:
Huh?

Charles:
What are they doing?

Frank #1:
Look out!

Frank #2:
TORNADO COMING!

[Charles and Nora quickly run away before the Franks could destroy their leaf pile. The Franks begin to laugh as the leaves fly by]

Charles:
[sighs sadly] Our leaf pile!

Nora:
[to the Franks; angrily] You've ruined it!

Frank #1:
It wasn't a real tornado.

Frank #2:
[giggles] It was a Frank tornado!

[Grace is painting a picture of herself]

Grace:
It's going to be perfect.

[The painting of Grace is almost finished. The Frank twins have decided to play a prank on her]

Frank #1:
Do you want some help?

Grace:
Help?

Frank #2:
I can hold the (orange) paint for you, while you finish you picture.

Grace:
[gives him the orange paint] Oh, all right.

[Grace uses a paintbrush and adds some orange paint to finish the picture. To play the "paint prank" on Grace, Frank #1 gives Frank #2 a can of green paint. Frank #2 gives the orange paint to his brother Frank #1. Frank #1 hides the orange paint behind his back. While Frank #2 is holding the green paint, Grace adds some green paint. Not knowing that it is green paint, she thinks that she still has the orange paint. Then the scene reveals to showing Grace's portrait face --which she just painted-- having green paint on it. When Grace finds out that she had used the green paint on her picture, she then gasps when she finds green paint on her picture.]

Grace:
[gasping] MY PICTURE!

[Grace looks at her picture. The Franks begin to laugh after they pranked her. Grace sees one look of the green paint that Frank #2 is holding then one look at her picture. Then the scene cuts to the now-destroyed picture. Grace's picture is completely ruined thanks to the Franks who wrecked it by their prank. The scene cuts to Grace who looks hurt. But then her hurt expression turns into an outrage.]

Grace:
[enraged after the prank] YOU WRECKED IT!

[Grace completed with her glaring at the Franks who pranked her with the green paint making her think it was orange paint when it was really green. Finding the Franks's prank not funny, Grace now is furious about their pranks and she off-screen vows to get revenge on them]

Mrs. Jenkins:
Is everybody ready for square dancing?

Fritz:
Uh-huh.

Timothy:
Ready.

Frank #1:
Yeah.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Okay then, everybody find a partner.

[Everyone expect the Franks went to find a partner]

Frank #1 and Frank #2:
Huh?

Frank #2:
I don't want to be your partner! You squirted water in my face!

Frank #1:
I do not want to be your partner! You put squeeze cheese on my chair!

Frank #1 and Frank #2:
Mrs. Jenkins?

Frank #1:
Nobody wants to be my partner.

Frank #2:
Nobody wants to be my partner either, Mrs. Jenkins. [looks at his brother]

Frank #1 and Frank #2:
Not even Frank.

Fritz:
Nobody wants to be your partner because we don't like your mean jokes!

Frank #1:
But we were just having fun (today, Fritz).

Frank #2:
Yeah, we were just having fun (today).

Nora:
[about Frank #1 and Frank #2's pranks] Well, maybe you were having fun! But we weren't!

[Nora and Fritz walk away from the Franks cause they don't wanna to dance with them. Not even anyone else wants to dance with Frank #1 or Frank #2]

Mrs. Jenkins:
Well, Frank and Frank, it looks as though your funny business has gotten the two of you into quite a mess.

[The Franks look at each other and sigh sadly]

Frank #1 and Frank #2:
[off-screen] Mrs. Jenkins?

[Frank #1 whispers through Mrs. Jenkins' ear]

Mrs. Jenkins:
All right. [to the students] Frank and Frank have something they'd like to say, everyone.

[Fritz, Yoko, Lilly, Doris and Timothy walks to the Frank twins because they have something to say to all of them when they played some practical pranks on them]

Frank #1:
[to Frank #2] You before me, you first.

Frank #2:
[to Frank #1] You before me, you first.

Frank #1:
[aplogizing everyone in the school for pranking them all day] I'm sorry.

Frank #2:
[also aplogizing everyone in the school for pranking them all day] I am sorry, too.

Frank #1:
[off-screen] We were just trying to be funny (today).

Nora:
We like your funny jokes and riddles.

Timothy:
Yeah. But not jokes that are mean.

Frank #1:
Okay.

Frank #2:
Okay.

Nora:
I don't want to learn how to read.

Timothy:
Why not?

Nora:
Because if I do, Mama won't read stories to me anymore. She says I'll be reading all by myself.

Timothy:
Are you sure?

Nora:
That's what she told me last night.

[At the school library.]

Mrs. Lightfoot:
And this is where our science and nature books are.

Fritz:
Interesting.

Mrs. Lightfoot:
Are there any questions? [Doris raise her hand up] Yes, Doris.

Doris:
Do you have any books about spiders?

Mrs. Lightfoot:
Yes, indeed we do. [off-screen] Several of them, in fact.

Doris:
[groans in disgust] I'm not going to borrow any of those!

[Timothy, Yoko, Fritz and Nora laugh]

Timothy:
Aren't you going to borrow any books, Nora?

Nora:
Nope.

Timothy:
Why not?

Nora:
I'd rather spin the globe.

Yoko:
What about my B-day cake, Mama?

Yoko's Mom:
Your party is on Saturday, Cherry Blossom. [giggles] It's a bit too soon to bake your cake.

Yoko:
Okay.

Nora:
[talking about the Gift Gallery] I just want to get something special for Yoko's birthday. They have very nice things there.

Nora's Mom:
The things there cost a lot of money.

Nora:
That's okay.

Nora's Mom:
Well, not really, Nora. This week we needed to get you a soccer uniform, needed to get you a new wheel for your bike, and Jack needed a new stroller. But now, I still have to buy our groceries.

Nora:
So, we can't go the gift gallery?

Nora's Mom:
I am sorry. But we do not have the extra money sugar snap.

Frank #2:
Look, I made eye holes.

Frank #1:
[laughing] I'm going to do that too!

[The head from Frank #1's figure come off after Frank #1 accidentally cuts it off]

Frank #1:
Oh, no! [picks up the figure's head]

Frank #2:
Mrs. Jenkins, Frank's head came off!

Mrs. Jenkins:
Don't worry, there's a quick fix. We'll just tape it back on.

[Later, the head from Frank #1's figure is completely fixed thanks to Mrs. Jenkins]

Frank #1:
Hey! It's Frankenstein!

Frank #2:
Yeah, it is.

Frank #1:
Thank you, Mrs. J.

Mrs. Jenkins:
You're welcome, Frank. [walks away]

[Frank #1 roars like Frankenstein as his brother laughs in joy]

[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.]

Charles:
What's it like to be big?

Doris:
I don't know.

Charles:
But you're the biggest in the class.

Doris:
There are a lot of other times when I'm the smallest.

Charles:
Like when?

Doris:
Like all the time at home. I'm the smallest in my family.

Charles:
Really? You're the smallest?

Doris:
Uh-huh, I'm even too small to ride the bumper cars at the fair. I have to watch my brothers drive past, and stick their tongues out at me. They call me a shrimp! It made me so mad!

Charles:
Hmm, I just don't like being called a shrimp either. If I see your big brothers sticking their tongues out, I'll tell them to stop it.

Doris:
Thanks, Charles! [to Claude's figure] What do you think about that, Mr. Big Shot?!

[Charles and Doris giggle]

Doris:
Do you want to come play at my house after school?

Charles:
Okay.

Doris' Mom:
Your big brothers can learn a thing or two from your little friend, Doris.

Doris:
Charles is not little, Mom. He is just the smallest like me.

Doris' Mom:
I see.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Quick sticks, Yoko. The bus is waiting.

Yoko:
But Mrs. Jenkins, I can't find the Netzke family.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Oh dear. Did you look in your cubby?

Yoko:
Uh huh.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Did you check your backpack? [Yoko nods] It's going to be okay, Yoko. I'll call your mother to tell her that the Netzke family is missing. Tomorrow morning, we will all help you look for them.

Yoko:
Okay.

[That night at Yoko's house]

Yoko's Mom:
Yoko, I thought a glass of milk might help you go to sleep.

Yoko:
Thanks, but I'm not very thirsty. I wish I never took the netsuke family to school, Mama.

Yoko's Mom:
I know, but someone will find them tomorrow.

Yoko:
But we looked everywhere today! Mama, do you think someone took them?

Yoko's Mom:
Perhaps.

Yoko:
If they did, I hope they bring them back.

Yoko's Mom:
I do too. [kisses Yoko]

Yoko:
Goodnight, Mama.

Yoko's Mom:
Goodnight, my little cherry blossom.

[Yoko's Mom turns off the light and leaves off-screen]

Yoko:
[still thinks someone might find them and bring them back] I hope someone finds them.

[after Fritz's rocket experiment goes wrong]

Mrs. Jenkins:
[giggles] It looks like a safe landing.

Fritz:
It looks like a fail landing.

Fritz:
[talking about his science project] I started working on it after school yesterday. You can see it at "Show and Share." That's when I'll do the test flight.

Doris:
Test flight?

Lilly:
Today?

Timothy:
I can't wait!

Fritz:
I'm going to do an experiment that shows how a rocket works.

Timothy:
A rocket?

Charles:
A real rocket?

Doris:
One that'll go into outer space?!

Fritz:
It won't go that far, but it will fly up in the air.

Charles:
Wow.

Lilly:
I can't wait to see it.

Grace:
That'll be great!

Timothy:
Your rocket experiment was great!

Fritz:
If it was so great, why was everyone laughing at me?

Timothy:
We weren't laughing at you.

Charles:
Yeah. We were laughing at the balloon.

[after Fritz's rocket experiment became a success during open house]

Timothy:
Great launch, Fritz.

Fritz:
You mean, Professor Fritz.

[When Grace takes a fall in ballet class]

Grace:
[notices her "injury" after falling] Oh my goodness! Oh...!

Doris:
Grace, are you okay?

[Grace starts to cry]

Grace:
[sobs] No. Dancers don't fall like that!

Doris:
How do you normally fall?

Grace:
[sobs] I don't. I'm so embarrassed!

[Doris wants to know how dancers usually fall, when Grace told her they do not fall like that. But Grace says they don't.]

Doris:
Maybe you hit a slippery spot, Grace. That's all.

Grace:
Yes, I think you're right.

Doris:
You're still the best dancer I've ever seen.

Grace:
Thank you.

Grace:
[to Doris after Doris tells the class about Grace's fall in ballet class] DORIS...!?

[Grace --before sobbing-- glares at Doris.]

Grace:
[before sobbing] YOU ARE A BLABBERMOUTH!

[Everyone else gasps and look on as Grace begins to cry.]

Doris:
WELL, YOU ARE A...!

[Grace bitterly sobs and hot tears roll down her cheeks. She bitterly bursts into tears, by which everyone won't be swayed.]

Doris:
[looks at Grace bitterly sobbing] ...YOU ARE A CRY-BABY!

[Grace turns away.]

Grace:
[sniffs and sobs bitterly] I AM NOT GOING TO SIT WITH A BLABBERMOUTH!

Doris:
WELL I AM NOT GOING TO SIT WITH A CRY BABY!

[Grace turns back and --holding back tears-- yells at Doris.]

Grace:
[angrily and in between tears] AND I AM NOT (EVER AGAIN) GOING TO DANCE WITH YOU EITHER!

Doris:
GOOD!

[Grace tearfully walks away --and resumes sobbing.]

Doris:
Well, this isn't any fun. [to Grace] Grace, can you hear me?

Grace:
What is it, Doris? (What do you want from me?)

Doris:
I don't really like it when we're mad at each other.

Grace:
[off-screen] Well, [on-screen] I don't like being called a crybaby.

Doris:
But you called me a blabbermouth!

Grace:
You told everyone I fell and they laughed at me. [closes her eyes] I was so embarrassed.

Doris:
But Grace, you just slipped (yesterday).

Grace:
It's still not funny.

Doris:
[crawls towards Grace] I'm sorry I told everybody what happened (yesterday), Grace. I didn't mean to embarrass you. (It was just an accident.) I like being your friend.

Grace:
I like being your friend too, Doris.

Doris:
Do you want to dance?

Grace:
Well, I'll have to think about it. [thinks for a second] All right, but don't step on my toes!

Doris:
Okay!

[Doris and Grace danced together and then they both jump. Doris and Grace then begin to laugh as the camera zooms out of the dance recital. Then the scene fades to black as the episode ends]

Nora's Mom:
Did you get your (butterscotch) pudding from the refrigerator?

Nora:
I don't see it.

Nora's Mom:
It's in the green container.

Nora:
Found it.

[Nora gets her "butterscotch pudding" which is in the green container from the fridge. Not seeing that it is Jack's baby food, she thinks it's her "pudding" for dessert.]

Frank #2:
We should trade all of our (chocolate chip) cookies for butterscotch pudding.

[To trade desserts, Timothy got Fritz's chocolate cake, while Fritz got Timothy's apple crisp. But Nora does not want to trade. Unlike Timothy and Fritz, she does not want to switch. And at this she does not want to trade her pudding for cookies brought from the Franks, apple crisp by Timothy, nor chocolate cake by Fritz. Nora is unaware that she has grabbed Jack's baby food.]

Nora:
[to the Franks] (Nah!) I am not trading my pudding for anything.

[Nora --still unaware that she has Jack's baby food-- she spoons into her "butterscotch pudding" and takes one bite of it. She is still unaware that she has Jack's baby food, until she takes a bite out of it after thinking it was her "pudding". After one bite, she sticks out her tongue in disgust.]

Timothy:
What's wrong?

Nora:
It doesn't taste like butterscotch!

[Nora smacks her lips.]

Nora:
YUCK! [spits]

[That is, as Nora continues of what she just ate --and thought it was her "pudding".]

Nora:
[continues] AND IT DOES NOT EVEN TASTE LIKE PUDDING!

[That is, after Nora's reaction when she took a bite from her "pudding", realized that her "pudding" was not really pudding, and smacked her lips from the baby food taste.]

Fritz:
It doesn't look like pudding either.

[Nora's "pudding" is not really pudding. When she smells it, it smells like baby food. It's really her baby brother Jack's baby food though she had thought it was pudding. And therefore, she realizes that she grabbed Jack's baby food by accident rather than her pudding. When she smells it, it is Jack's baby food. After smelling it, she pinches up her nose from the baby food smell in disgust.]

Nora:
[through pinched-up nose] UGH!

[Nora tells Timothy, Fritz, and the Franks it is not pudding but what it really is]

Nora:
IT IS JACK'S BABY FOOD!

[It is really her baby brother Jack's baby food. It is not pudding. At this, Nora for the second time at school has mentioned her baby brother Jack after grabbing his baby food instead of her pudding by accident. She did not know she had Jack's baby food when she tried to grab her pudding that morning.]

Frank #1:
What?

Frank #2:
Huh?

Frank #1:
Baby food?!

[Frank #2 is disgusted about Nora bringing baby food, he declines to trade or share any of his cookies with someone who would ever bring baby food.]

Frank #2:
[to Frank #1] I AM NOT TRADING ANY OF MY COOKIES FOR BABY FOOD!

[Frank #2 pushes back his cookies in disgust.]

Frank #1:
[agrees with Frank #2 and declines about trading or sharing any of his] NEITHER AM I!

[Frank #1 also pushes back his cookies in disgust.]

Timothy:
Where's Jack?

Nora:
I'm not drawing him on my poster.

Timothy:
Why not?

Nora:
I'm tired of having a little brother. He's always crying or making a mess or breaking things.

[At this, Nora has mentioned Jack for the third time.]

Timothy:
[wishing he had a brother or sister] I think it would be fun to have a little brother.

Nora:
That's because you don't have one.

[Nora's Mom approaches the kids --Timothy and Nora. And after she offscreen has met Timothy's mother --who is ready to pick up Timothy from Nora's house-- she tells him that his mom is here to pick him up.]

Nora's Mom:
[to Timothy] Your mom is here, Timothy.

[After Jack scribbles on one of Nora's pictures --with one of Nora's crayons-- Nora enters the living room. She finds Jack and gasps.]

Nora:
[gasps] JACK!

[Nora runs over to Jack. The scene cuts to Jack --who is still scribbling on Nora's picture. That is with a red crayon. He stops scribbling.]

Nora:
[tries to stay calm, but regards about her picture] Oh, you have ruined my poster!

[Cut back to Jack, Jack --who hears that Nora has blamed him for scribbling on her picture-- cries.]

Jack:
[crying] (Insert crying noises here.)

[Then back to Nora.]

Nora:
[calls her mom in] MAMA!

[Nora's mom comes in.]

Nora's Mom:
What is it Nora?

Nora:
Jack scribbled all over my poster!

Nora's Mom:
[sees Nora's picture] Oh dear!

Nora:
It is ruined!

Henry:
Can any of you guess which little boy in this photo is me?

[Henry shows the students his old school day photo]

Timothy:
Hmm... [sees a young Henry in the photo] Hey, that's you, Henry.

Henry:
You're right.

Charles:
You were little (back then).

Henry:
And there's my favorite teacher, Miss. Abercrombie.

[Timothy sees Miss. Abercrombie in the photo looks up at Mrs. Jenkins to believe that they're both the same teachers]

Timothy:
Gee, she looks like Mrs. Jenkins.

Mrs. Jenkins:
That's because it is me, my name was Miss. Abercrombie before I married Mr. Jenkins.

Henry:
Your favorite teacher was my favorite teacher too.

Frank #1:
I'm first!

Frank #2:
No, I'm ahead of you! I'm first!

Franks #1 and Frank #2:
[reach the finish line together] We're both first...again!

Frank #1:
Charles finished last again.

Frank #2:
He must feel bad.

Frank #1:
Yeah. He must feel really bad.

Lilly:
I wanted to make a surprise valentine for Charles, but I forgot!

Yoko:
You can make it when we get to school. I can help you.

Lilly:
Good idea, Yoko!

Yoko:
Just don't let him see it.

Lilly:
I won't.

Lilly:
Timothy and Charles keep looking at us again. Are they telling secrets?

Yoko:
I don't know, but I hope they don't know about my secret.

Timothy:
My valentine is for Yoko.

Charles:
Mine is for Lilly. She will never guess who it's from.

Timothy:
I didn't know Lilly liked Hot Red Zingers.

Charles:
I didn't know Lilly liked Peppermint Hearts.

Yoko:
[about the red hot zinger candy] But it has Red Hot Zingers on it. I cannot eat Red Hot Zingers. They burn my tongue (and lips).

NOTE:
This episode is similarly, like Timothy and Charles traded Valentine cards for Yoko and Lilly, so did Franklin and Bear with their presents on Mother's Day.

Juanita:
Papi, my new bedroom is pink!

Juanita's Dad:
Do you like it pink, Juanita?

Juanita:
Oh, yes. And guess what else?

Juanita's Dad:
What else?

Juanita:
It echos in here. [echos] Hello!

[Juanita's Dad chuckles and went back to work. Juanita runs to the front yard and sees some colorful flowers]

Juanita:
Oh, what pretty flowers.

[Juanita's Dad and the mover --one of the movers-- put a dresser drawer down. Suddenly, Juanita's Dad hears a sound --someone saying "Mama!". It sounds like a dolly speaking. Juanita's Dad opens the drawer to see where the dolly sound has come from.]

María (Cat Doll):
[from inside the drawer] Mama!

[Juanita's Dad opens the drawer and finds Juanita's cat doll María inside. Now he fully knows it's a toy as he knows where the sound came from. That is, which is Juanita's cat doll. Knowing it's a toy, he sees Maria laying there in drawer.]

María (Cat Doll):
[camera faces the full doll Maria in the open drawer --and Maria says the same word] Mama!

Juanita's Dad:
[to the cat doll] Well, hello, María.

[Juanita's Dad picks up Maria and mimics her. He waving her from side to side, as if Maria is speaking.]

Juanita's Dad:
[impersonating the doll] "Juanita? Come and get me! I've fallen out of my box!"

[Before running up to get Maria, Juanita has not noticed that Maria was missing. But she turns to her father and says he was tricking her.]

Juanita:
[giggles] Papi, you're funny.

[Juanita runs to her father and gets María.]

Juanita:
Come on, María. I'll show you our new house. [to her mother] These are for you, Mama. They were growing in our yard.

Juanita's Mom:
[smells the flower] Thank you. If only I knew where we parked the bus.

[Henry's bus drives past Juanita's new house]

Juanita:
Look, Mama.

Juanita's Mom:
[about Henry's bus] That's the bus that will take you to Hilltop school tomorrow.

Juanita:
Oh, but... I won't know anyone at my new school.

Juanita's Mom:
Well, not at first. But soon you will make new friends. [pause] Would you like it if I take you to school tomorrow?

Juanita:
Yes, please come with me.

[After welcoming Juanita --the new student-- by Mrs. Jenkins and the rest of the class and before singing "The Welcome Song".]

Mrs. Jenkins:
[before starting circle] Nora? Can you walk over Juanita and her mother to two front row seats.

Nora:
Okay.

[Nora takes Juanita and her mother by the hands and walks them over to the circle for front row seats]

Nora:
[to Juanita and her mother] This way, if you please.

Mrs. Jenkins:
[opens the refrigerator and finding that she was all out of apple juice] Oh dear! I am out of apple juice.

[She is out of apple juice for snack time.]

Mrs. Jenkins:
[turns to Juanita's mother] Perhaps you can help me with that.

[Mrs. Jenkins goes over to Juanita and tells her about it.]

Mrs. Jenkins:
[to Juanita] Juanita? We are all out of apple juice for snack time. Can I ask your mother to buy us more juice?

Juanita:
How long may it take?

Juanita's Mom:
Not very long.

Yoko:
[referring to Juanita's mom] She'll come back. Mothers always come back.

Juanita:
But what if I need her?

[Yoko then tells Juanita a story about when Yoko herself needed her mother on the first day of kindergarten. That story told --to Juanita-- by Yoko convinces Juanita to let her mother leave when she's at school.]

Yoko:
[tells her story to Juanita] I needed my mama on the first day of school too. But then, I was having so much fun. I didn't need her with me at school like I used to.

Juanita:
Mama, you were gone for a long time. I missed you.

Juanita's Mom:
I'm back now. I always come back.

Juanita's Mom:
Juanita, here's a cookie for your pocket, in case you get hungry.

[Juanita's Mom gives Juanita the almond cookie]

Juanita:
Thank you, Mama.

Juanita's Mom:
I'm so proud of you going to school all by yourself today. [sees the bus coming] Oh, here comes your school bus.

Juanita:
Mama?

Juanita's Mom:
Yes, Juanita?

Juanita:
Where will I sit on the bus?

Juanita's Mom:
You can sit beside one of your new friends.

Juanita:
But I don't have any new friends yet.

[after Juanita can't play with her friends]

Mrs. Jenkins:
Aren't you having fun, Juanita?

Juanita:
Well... not really, Mrs. Jenkins.

Mrs. Jenkins:
I see. Is there something the matter?

Juanita:
[sighs] It's just that... I don't know how to jump double dutch, or how to build a moon base and no one told me that Grace doesn't like almonds and I didn't know Captain Doris can steer the ship.

Mrs. Jenkins:
Making new friends can be hard sometimes. But I think I have an idea that might help.

[last lines of the series]

Juanita's Mom:
I see you made lots of new friends today.

Juanita:
Yes I did. I like Hilltop School.

Juanita's Mom:
Wonderful. I want to hear about everything you did today. Let's go inside. I made you snack.

Juanita:
I tried sushi today, Mama.

Juanita's Mom:
Sushi? I don't think I had sushi.

Juanita:
It's really good. And Yoko likes (baby beans) burritos. She likes almond cookies too. Can you put an extra one in my lunch box tomorrow and some lettuce for Norman...

[The final episode ends when a butterfly flies over Juanita's house. Then the scene fades to black as the series ends itself]
