Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps Season 1 quotes

Angelina

Don't worry, mom. We'll be the responsible mouselings of all in Mouse Land.

Angelina

Not at all.

[Polly reveals the lunch bags and Angelina gets them]

Angelina

Oops.

[She reveals the ice skates and Alice gets them]

Alice

Double oops.

[As Angelina still raps --from the drum-- Ms. Mimi --as Angelina keeps going-- gets upset.]

Ms. Mimi

Angelina...? ANGELINA...?!

[Angelina pauses and Ms. Mimi's shadow hovers over her.]

Ms. Mimi

COME AND SEE ME AFTER SCHOOL PLEASE!

[As Ms. Mimi says this, Angelina knows that she is in big trouble.]

[The scene --after the lunchtime theater where Marco, Gracie, and Vicki were-- then cuts to Ms. Mimi's classroom. Angelina has to stay after school and she's in the classroom. That afternoon --after school-- Ms. Mimi has asked Angelina to stay after school for after school detention because Angelina was talking in class. Ms. Mimi is disciplining Angelina. In other words: "The scene cuts to where Ms. Mimi is issuing Angelina with her after school detention". Angelina is seen in Ms. Mimi's classroom. She was making noises like the drum after being asked for quiet. So it cuts to where Angelina is in after school detention. She --sitting on a time-out chair-- is facing Ms. Mimi in front of her desk. Before assigning Angelina after school detention after school, Ms. Mimi talks to Angelina.]

Ms. Mimi

[to Angelina] So, when I asked for quiet, Angelina...!

[Ms. Mimi then expects answers from Angelina.]

Ms. Mimi

...I really do expect to get it! I am surprised!

Angelina

[apologizing to Ms. Mimi for talking in class] I am sorry, Ms. Mimi.

[It is true that Angelina has apologized for her unruly behavior in class. And she does promise it will never happen again. But even though Angelina apologizes --for her unruly behavior which was talking and Ms. Mimi asked for quiet but she did not listen-- she knows that sometimes an apology/promise does not cut it. Her behavior was still not okay. Really, she's still in trouble. Because in reality, if one apologizes and/or makes a promise --which is a promise to not do it again-- sometimes it does not allow them to get away with being punished. Sometimes it doesn't and therefore, they still have to pay the consequence. There are appropriate/common/natural/local consequences for actions. That means they --one and in this case Angelina too-- must be accountable for their actions. In this case --like for Angelina who talked in class-- she has to pay the consequence. She is ordered to stay after school and see Ms. Mimi to do after school detention. Possibly for a whole week and no drum day on said day. So --as a result-- Angelina is --in fact-- still in trouble. She still did something in class that she was not supposed to do. It was on purpose. Not only on purpose, but also a big no-no. So her "apology" does not work and she's still considered a wrongdoer --according to Ms. Mimi-- and must be punished or disciplined. Additionally, she --by extension-- is also held responsible for talking and disrupting in class. Although her after school detention was not seen, she still was assigned it by Ms. Mimi for being disruptive even though Ms. Mimi asked for quiet. Now Angelina has it for a whole week and she gets no drum day the next day or in other words, "not this year". From this point, Angelina's "after school detention week" with Ms. Mimi --after school-- starts, and starting today. So until her "after school detention week" is over, there is no drum day nor any after school activities for Angelina. Because she is in after school detention with Ms. Mimi. We may be sorry, and we may make an apology/promise. But we are still considered a wrongdoer. An apology/promise alone does not erase the action you --and in this case Angelina-- did. In the meantime, Angelina is in trouble, she gets a week of after school detention, and she gets no drum day this year. Her turn for the drums --on drum day-- is dismissed.]
