Franklin Turtle quotes from Franklin

By the way, did you choose something for the toy drive?

Franklin

I was thinking of giving my blue truck.

Not that old one with the missing wheel.

Beaver

What are you giving?

Franklin

A truck!

Not that old one with the broken wheel.

Franklin

Well... yeah, but I'm fixing it up. It's gonna look great.

Franklin

Nice shot, huh?

Beaver

Lucky shot, you mean. Bet you can't do it again, Franklin!

Franklin

But, Mom, I can't go to Granny's tomorrow, I promised my friends!

And I promised Granny!

You can play with your friends anytime, Franklin. Granny loves it when you visit.

Franklin

I don't want to sit and talk, I want to have fun with my friends!

Granny likes to do fun things. Why don't you ask her?

Franklin

Does she like throwing water balloons? I don't think so, Dad!

She might. You never know.

Are you sure you haven't gotten taller? You look taller to me!

Mom, I haven't gotten taller! Maybe you've gotten shorter!

Oh, fiddlesticks! Here, now, get out of that!

Mmmm!

Franklin, does your father carry on like this at home?

Franklin

Sometimes.

Would you like to lick the spoon? You've had some already. This is for Franklin.

Franklin

Dad can have it.

Then would you like to help me frost these cupcakes?

Franklin

Nah, you can do it, Granny.

Are you not feeling well?

Franklin

No, I'm just bored.

Franklin.

It's okay, son. We'll be fine. Here, now, why don't you run along? Franklin and I have all sorts of things to talk about. There. Now, off with you.

Bye, Mom. Bye, Franklin.

Franklin

Bye.

I'd like to do what you'd like to do.

Franklin

What I'd like to do has already happened without me.

You'd like to play with your friends, wouldn't you? Instead of here.

Franklin

You should always wear a bike helmet.

They didn't have such a thing in those days.

Beaver

You missed out on a lot of fun yesterday.

Franklin

That's what you think. I was at Granny's.

I'd want someone to wake me up if I had a new baby sister.

[not at all asleep] Baby sister?!

You're funny, Franklin.

Franklin

[in a robotic voice] Foolish Earthling. There is no Franklin. I am Franklinon of the robot planet.

How can you always think of these funny things?

Franklin

You say funny stuff, too.

Franklin

I am the hayfield creature.

[laughs] You mean the "hay fever" creature.

Franklin

You sure played with Possum a lot.

I thought it was your idea.

It's just a friendly rock.

Franklin

[laughs] Friendly and boring.

So, Franklin, what do you want to do?

Franklin

Play soccer.

Maybe later on. You've got a neat looking train I want to see. Come on!

Beaver

Can you still ride your bike?

Franklin

Well, we tried that and it's not such a good idea.
