Franklin Turtle quotes from Franklin

Franklin

Gee, for such a small guy, you sure make a lot of noise. And a lot of mess.

Franklin

I thought taking care of a little duckling was going to be a lot of fun, but it turned out to be a lot of work.

Franklin Turtle

I'm Franklin, and this is Fox and Raccoon.

Franklin Turtle

Okay, but you have to share.

Franklin

Bear hasn't had a chance to play with the Super Snooper Spy Kit, so I'll dig up the garden after lunch.

Beaver

Foul!

Are you calling me a "fowl," Beaver?

Beaver

No, not fowl like a bird, and not foul like stinky. The play is foul!

Franklin

It means it's against the rules.

Beaver

Yeah, silly. You can only touch the ball with your feet unless you're the goalkeeper. I thought everybody knew that.

I knew that. But I keep forgetting.

Beaver

That's okay, Goose. Just remember the most important thing.

Yes, Beaver?

Beaver

Always... give the ball to me.

Franklin

If only I had kicked straighter, I would have scored for sure.

Beaver

As if.

Remember now, straight to Bear's house. And don't be late.

Franklin

I won't.

Franklin should know by now that no one outfoxes me.

Franklin

1 2 3 on Fox.

How did you...

Franklin

Slow as a turtle, but twice as tricky!

Franklin

[sees Snail on the path] Hey, Snail, want to play?

Snail

No time, Franklin, I'm on my way to Bear's surprise party.

Franklin

[gasping] Bear's (surprise) party! I hope I'm not to late.

Snail

[sadly] I hope you all have fun. [crying]

Franklin

[stops walking and sees Snail crying] Snail? (Are you okay?)

Snail

[crying] Whenever I get somewhere, the fun's always over. I left yesterday!

Franklin

Yesterday?

Snail

[off-screen] Uh-huh, [on-screen] so I wouldn't be late and now, I am going to be late! Again.

Franklin

There, there Snail, [takes out a piece of tissue out of his shell] please don't cry.

Franklin

[off-screen] That's better. Now blow.

Franklin

This really means a lot to you doesn't it?

Snail

[sniffing; sadly] Yes.

Franklin

Don't worry, Snail, I'll get you there.

Snail

[happy] You will?

Franklin

I may be slow, even for a turtle, but I'll try my best.

Here you go, sunshine. Berry juice in your favorite cup.

Franklin

There are too many crickets in my cereal.

A minute ago, you told me there weren't enough crickets in your cereal.

Franklin

Well, now there are too many.

Here, I'll trade you for my muffin. How would that be?

Franklin

You already ate the top part. I don't want it now. [his favorite cup crashes to the floor and he gasps] My favorite cup!

Oh, Franklin.

Franklin

It's not my fault.

It was that bad-tempered elbow of yours, right? Huh, I wonder what's gotten into him this morning?

I don't know, but it wasn't his berry juice.

Franklin

It's got to go in here somewhere! There's too much sky in this puzzle. Huh?

Hi, Franklin!

Franklin

Hi, Bear.

What?

Franklin

I said "Hi!"

It's packing snow. You wanna come out and make something?

Franklin

I'm... doing a puzzle.

What?

Franklin

I'm doing a puzzle!

Come over to my place when you're done, O.K.?

Franklin

O.K.!

See you later.

Franklin

This is gonna take all day!

Franklin?

Franklin

Huh?

Franklin? What was all the yelling about?

Franklin

I wasn't yelling, I was talking to Bear.

Bear?

Franklin

He was outside.

Hmm, some fresh air. What a good idea.

Franklin

Mom, I don't want to go outside. Okay, but I'm not going to play.

That's alright, just do it quietly.

Hi, Beaver.

Beaver

Hey, guys. Gee, now everyone's here, except for Otter. They moved yesterday, you know.

Franklin

I already know that.

Beaver

Sorry.

We almost made it, eh, Franklin? Franklin?

Franklin

Get off!

Want to go again, Franklin? You can sit in the back this time.

Franklin

No! This is the "worstest" day in the world.

Beaver

There's no such word as "worstest."

Franklin

There is for me!

Franklin, do you wanna go skating on the pond?

Franklin

No, I wanna go home!

He's mad.

Beaver

It's not my fault.

What? I didn't do anything. I mean, I didn't mean to do anything. I mean...

What's wrong, now?

Franklin

Everything!

I can tell you're having a bad day, but it doesn't mean you can throw your wet things all over the floor. Now pick them up and put them where they belong.

Franklin

No!

All right, then. You need some quiet time in your bedroom. We can talk when you come out.

Franklin

I'm never coming out! No!

Franklin? What's going on in here? Franklin, what's the matter?

Franklin

My castle, it's all wrecked.

Hmm. Well, you can always build another one.

Franklin

It won't be like that one. We built it together, Otter and me.

Oh, I think I understand now. You're sad about your friend Otter moving away.

Franklin

Mm-hmm.

And you miss her. That's why you've been angry today.

Franklin

Yes. She was one of my best friends.

Otter may not live around the corner anymore, but you can still be friends.

Franklin

We can?

Sure! You can call each other on the phone...

Franklin

Or send things in the mail?

That too.

Franklin

I'm going to send Otter a special surprise!

Excellent. Franklin, couldn't you just fold your painting?

Franklin

No, Dad. I'm making a puzzle for Otter. I'll mail her the pieces and then she can put them together.

I bet she'll like that.

Franklin

Oh, yes. Otter loves puzzles.
