Franklin Turtle quotes from Franklin

We use to go on vacation.

Yes, but then we had a baby turtle.

Franklin

A baby turtle? Oh yeah, me.

Mom, are we going to be there soon? We've been driving for so long!

Franklin

Dad!

Isn't that Franklin's job?

Franklin

Wow! Neat!

I have to milk a cow?

Franklin

[enthusiastically] Hi, Mom! Did you have a nice walk?

[sarcastically] Yes. Nice and long.

Franklin

You know, I like this place, even if it doesn't have any rides.

Who says it doesn't have any rides?

It's just, I don't know, a bit flashy.

Franklin

That's what I like about it!

Franklin

It's mine. [to Fox and Beaver] And I like it!

And I like it, too. This flashing light is an excellent idea.

Tamarack Point?

Franklin, how many friends are we talking about?

Franklin

Well, just my good friends. You know, the ones I play with all the time.

Yes...

How many?

Franklin

Ten?

Ten?

Franklin

But it's really more like nine, because you know how small Snail is.

Dear, I'm sorry, but I don't think we can manage that.

Franklin

But we've gotta go! I've already invited everybody!

Now, Franklin, you know we'd love to take all your friends to Tamarack Point, but we can't possibly fit everyone into our car and it's a long way.

Not to mention how much it would cost! Ten meals, tickets for ten kids, ooh!

Instead we'll have a nice party here.

Franklin, don't worry, your friends will have fun. Tell them we're going to run through the sprinkler. They'll love that.

Franklin

Hey Splash, Diver! Bring your snacks over here! [to Bear] Not you, Snacks. These snacks.

Franklin

[eating his raisins] Hmm, these raisin boxes keep getting smaller.

And carrots keep getting shorter.

Try putting peanut butter on a cracker this small. What kind do you have, Snacks?

Woah!

Now that's what I call a snack, Snacks!

[sighs] I guess it is sort of big, isn't it?

Beaver

Move over, Snacks! You and your cookie are hogging all the shade!

Franklin

Hey, Ringer, do you have any more crackers?

Umm, no. Maybe Snacks will give you a giant cookie crumb.

Franklin

Hey, Sna-- [sees that Bear has gone] Hey, where'd he go?

Beaver

I don't know. He just got up and left.

Beaver

You may be called Speedy at the pond, but you're pokey at the playground.

Pokey! That's a good name!

Beaver

Are you going to be it again, Pokey? Or is Snacks going to be it this time? [laughs]

Franklin

I don't like being called "Pokey"!

And I don't like the name "Snacks" either!

Beaver

[chuckles] Come on, Bear! It's just for fun!

It's fun for you, but it hurts my feelings! You wouldn't like it if I called you "Chomper"!

Franklin

You do chew your pencils a lot.

Beaver

[gasps] I can't help it if I chew on my pencils! Everyone in my family does!

[laughs] Chomper!

Beaver

What are you laughing at, Long-ears?!

I have an idea. Why don't we pick our OWN nicknames? Then we won't have names we don't like.

Franklin

I like that idea, Bear.

Good thinking.

Yeah!

Good idea, Bear!

Thanks.

Hi, Franklin! You're all muddy!

Franklin

[despondent] I know.

What's the matter, son?

Franklin

Bear got a home run.

You're unhappy about that?

Franklin

I'm unhappy because he hit my ball right into the pond! I tried to find it, but I couldn't.

Oh dear, the fish have another ball to play with.

Franklin

Yeah, and this one was like new.

Well, son, I have some news that might cheer you up.

Franklin

What?

Someone is coming here for a visit!

A friend you haven't seen for a long time.

Franklin

Who?

Otter!

Franklin

[perking up] Otter? Coming here?

That's right! Tomorrow morning!

Franklin

YAY! YIPPEE! Otter's coming! Otter's coming! I've gotta find all the games we used to play! Wait, I should go and tell Bear! No, I'd better clean my room first!

[chuckles] That certainly cheered him up.

Yes, I've never seen him hurry up to clean his room with a smile on his face.

And there's Otter again, making us laugh.

Franklin

She was always making us laugh.

Franklin

What are you doing?

The Elm Wood Avenue handshake.

[sighs] Didn't this used to be more fun?

Franklin

That's what I was thinking.

Hello, Franklin. Hello, Bear.

Franklin

Hi, Mrs. Heron.

Hello.

Hello, Mrs. Heron. Remember me?

[pushes her glasses] Well, of course I do. Hello, Weasel. Nice to see you too.

Weasel? She doesn't remember who I am.

Maybe her glasses are just dirty.
