This is a really bad day.
FranklinIs it ever? It's like we can't do anything right.
I know! It just isn't fair! Are we getting close to where we're going?
FranklinI don't know. Where are we going?
There's the tree fort path!
FranklinYeah, let's go there!
Your father and I would miss you if you (and Snail) went to live in the tree fort.
Franklin[gives her a hug] Yeah, I'd miss you too. And your cookies!
Heh heh heh heh. [hands him the cookie jar] How can I say no after a nice hug like that?
FranklinThanks, Mom.
FranklinThere's nothing to do, no one will play with me and I'm really, really bored. [Mr. Turtle and Mrs. Turtle stare at him] Well, I am.
Have a seat here, Franklin.
FranklinWe're not sitting down to play dominoes, are we?
No, we're not. We're going to have a little talk. Franklin, everyone has to learn how to play alone some of the time.
That's right. Your friends can't be around to entertain you all the time, and neither can we.
If you'd invited one of your friends over to play, you wouldn't have any trouble finding something fun to do, right?
FranklinYeah, there's always great stuff when you've got someone to play with.
If I were you, Franklin, I'd buy a watch.
Franklin[sighs, to himself] What good is a watch if you can't tell time?
Hey, Franklin, what are you doing? The library closes at 4:30 on Saturdays.
FranklinNot today! Mrs. Goose told me it closes at half past four!
"4:30" and "half past four" mean the same thing, Franklin.
FranklinDo you think Mr. Owl will mind?
I don't think so. That's what he's there for.
The important thing is, you're learning to spell.
FranklinNo, Dad. The important thing is spelling every word right.
[sees the word, "Pencil" on the sticky note] "Pencil"?
FranklinI just had it in my hat for good luck.
But did you look at it during the (spelling) test?
[Franklin pauses for a second]
FranklinI peeked at one letter, that's all.
But that's not fair, Franklin. That's cheating. [storms off]
FranklinWhat should I do?
That's something you should decide. But I think you know inside what would make you feel better.
FranklinI wonder what it wants.
Maybe it thinks you're its Mom.
Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He could swim and ride a bike and do many things really well. But one day, Franklin learned that the thing he could do best was just be himself.
Franklin TurtleWow, look at all those stars, dad. There must be a zillion of them.
Maybe we should count them to find out.
Franklin TurtleDad!
[Laughs] Let me show you some groups of stars that look like animals.
Franklin TurtleAnimals? Where?
[Looking at the stars] Well, let's see here... OK, there's Pegasus, a horse.
Franklin TurtleI don't see a horse.
[Chuckles] It's up there. You have to use your imagination.
What happened to your bat costume?
Franklin TurtleI put it away.
How come? I thought you wanted to be a bat.
Franklin TurtleThe only "bat" thing I can do is hang upside-down and that gives me a headache.
Why do you want to be like Bat anyway? You're already good at being Franklin.
Franklin TurtleI want you to come and meet some of my friends.
Okay. Can I bring some of my friends too?
Franklin TurtleThat sounds great. We'll play some games and stuff. See you tonight, Bat.
Franklin, wait! Before I go back to sleep, could you take me for a ride on your wheel thing?
Franklin Turtle[giggles] On my bike? Sure. Hang on.
Wow. This is great.
Franklin TurtleYeah. It is, isn't it?
Franklin TurtleGee, Henry is a special hamster.
Very special. And I'm gonna miss my little Chubby Cheeks.
It's okay, Beaver. I'll take good care of him.
Franklin TurtleWhoa. What happened to your room?
Henry got out of his cage last night.
Franklin TurtleWow. He made all this mess?
No, I did, looking for him. And I can't find him.
