[The others --Gracie, Vicki, and Marco-- have heard the word "crickets" from Alice. That is, since Alice was going to read the "pretend class" --Gracie, Vicki, and Marco-- the story "Goldi-Mouse and the Three Crickets". Then --after the trio heard the word "crickets"-- they perform the chant "The Camembert Cheer".]
GVGracie, Vicki, and Marco
[chanting] Pirouette left, pirouette right!
AliceNow what are they doing?
GVGracie, Vicki, and Marco
[chanting] Tap your toes with all your might!
Alice
That's not fair! I was going to read my story!
[Gracie, Vicki, and Marco are trying to do the "Camembert Cheer" which was taught by Ms. Mimi on them even though they should know that it is Alice's turn.]
GVGracie, Vicki, and Marco
[still chanting] Crouch like a cricket, then ready, steady, hop!
Camembert kids never--
[But before they can say the last word of their chant --The Camembert Cheer-- which is "Camembert kids never stop!", Alice --who gets to the last straw-- screams out a big, long, "STOP". She says it with her head shaking violently.]
Alice
STOPPPPP!!!
[The others --Vicki, Gracie, and Marco-- stop chanting.]
Alice
IT'S...! MY...! TURN!!!
Hang on a minute, girls. Now you have a busy day ahead of you. You need to keep track of your time and your things.
Don't worry, mom. We'll be the responsible mouselings of all in Mouse Land.
Do you have everything you need?
[Polly reveals the lunch bags and Angelina gets them]
[She reveals the ice skates and Alice gets them]
Alice
Double oops.
[Angelina fears that the stinky Rodentfort Cheese --at the Fere Francaise festival-- it would drive the mouse residents of Chipping Cheddar nuts. And her idea was to tell Mrs. Thimble the truth nicely. To vote for what person to tell Mrs. Thimble the truth about the Rodentford cheese, Angelina plays the Hot Potato rhyme with A.Z, Alice, and Gracie and taps on their fists. The fist who stops on whoever's should be the person to tell Mrs. Thimble.]
[chanting] One potato, two potato,
Three potato, four,
Five potato, six potato,
Seven potato, MORE!
[When Angelina says, "...MORE!", her fist stops on her own. That means Angelina is "it" and the person to tell Mrs. Thimble the truth about the smelly cheese.]
Alice
Good luck, Angelina.
[Angelina is trying to get Alice a trick out to get her to be sad in the sad rhyme from the poem. Because Alice's character in the poem is the sad part/sad verse. Meanwhile, the scene cuts to another picnic table at the lunchtime theater. That is, where Gracie and A.Z are sitting in. Gracie sits next to A.Z at lunch in the lunchtime theater. She --Gracie-- looks at A.Z's moldy cheese --in his lunch-- and becomes disgusted about the stinky smell from the moldy cheese. That is, as a stinky scent from the moldy cheese comes out and catches up into Gracie's nose.]
[to A.Z] P.U! MOLDY CHEESE! KEEP THAT AWAY FROM ME!
[Gracie --after the scent from the stinky and moldy cheese gets into her nose-- smells the stinky and moldy cheese, turns her head away, and pinches up her nose from the moldy cheese's stinky smell.]
[stinking her nose] PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
[Gracie walks away from the lunch table A.Z is sitting at --pinching up her nose. She gets disgusted because someone would ever have moldy cheese in their lunch.]
Alice
Great rhyming, Gracie. But that is still not helping.
[Gracie --stinking up her nose-- tells Alice about the stinky smell coming from the moldy cheese in A.Z's lunchbox. That is, as she says...!]
[through a pinched-up nose] That wasn't supposed to rhyme! I meant it!
