Beaver quotes from Franklin

Beaver

Why did you stop?

[Pulls something out of the water] Um... I saw this clam shell. Isn't it neat?

Beaver

[Growls in frustration]

Snail

[Riding his small raft across the stream] Good find, Bear.

Franklin

[Chuckles] Snail? What are you doing? [Picks Snail up and puts him on his shell] Save your breath, Snail. Just whistle when you need help. I'm never far away.

Snail

[Sighs] I know.

I'd like to order six chocolate sundaes.

Franklin Turtle

Oh boy!

Ooh, sundaes.

Beaver

Two in one day?

And we don't have to share!

Oh, sorry. Those are for me.

Franklin Turtle

Dad!

Beaver

FRANKLIN?!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?

Franklin

Hey, Beaver, guess what? I've almost beaten level four.

Beaver

Turn it off, Franklin!

Franklin

What?

Beaver

I said turn it off!

Franklin

But, Beaver, I'm past the whirlpools. Look! [gasps when Beaver shuts off the computer] What are you doing?

Beaver

What am I doing? What are you doing, playing on my computer when I'm not here?

Franklin

But your mom said I could. Are you mad because my score is still higher than yours?

Beaver

No! I'm mad because you're not my friend anymore!

Franklin

Why? What did I do?

Beaver

You don't want to play with me. All you want to do is play with my computer. That's not being a friend.

Franklin

Gee, I'm sorry, Beaver. I didn't mean to make you feel bad.

Beaver

Well, you did. How would you feel if I only came over to your house to ride your scooter?

Franklin

Not very good.

Beaver

And who cares about Dam Builders? Being friends is more important.

Franklin

Yeah, and keeping friends is more important, too.

Franklin Turtle

I decided that there were more important things than Dam Builders.

Beaver

Like playing soccer?

Franklin Turtle

Yeah, like playing soccer - with my best friends.

Thank you very much.

Franklin Turtle

And enjoy the museum.

Beaver

For two cookies, I'd better.

Beaver

You'd better throw this rusty old nail away.

It's on display.

Beaver

You put a rusty nail on display?

That's what museums have. Really old things.

You can see it on display at our museum.

Beaver

For two cookies, right?

Franklin Turtle

Sort of, but this time we're giving you a cookie.

Beaver

Huh? You're giving us cookies?

How come?

Yeah, why are you giving them to us?

Franklin Turtle

Because that's the kind of thing friends do.

Beaver

Great! We'll come every day! Just kidding.

Beaver

Well, Franklin, how was your day?

Franklin

Terrible! [Laughs] The worst!

Beaver

Then why are you so happy?

Franklin

Because I can start having fun again. I wasted too much time today worrying about things that will probably never happen.

Beaver

If the Top of Destiny says it will happen, then it will happen. I'm looking forward to a big surprise today. The Top of Destiny said so. OW!!!

Franklin

Hey! The Top of Destiny is right again!

Beaver

[Throws the crayfish back into the pond] Well, maybe it's not right every time.

Beaver

I've got a special place for you in our front yard.

What kind did you get, Beaver?

Beaver

An ash tree. So do you know what I'm going to call it? Ashley.

Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He could swim in the pond and play find the acorn in the woods. He knew how to play fair and how to share his homemade treats. And one day, Franklin learned something new about being kind to a friend.

Beaver

I must be getting warmer now, right?

Uh uh. Not even close.

Beaver

Not even close? Where did you hide it? On another planet?

Yeah. We've looked for that acorn in places where Squirrel wouldn't even think of.

Well, I can tell you one place you haven't thought of looking.

Where?

The place where it is!

Beaver

[gasps] Don't eat the berries! They've got some kind of fungus on them! That's what the smell is!

[horrified] What?! I've eaten about a hundred of them! [starts wiping his tongue]

Beaver

Poor Franklin.

Way to go, Beaver!

Beaver

What?

Telling Franklin he smelled bad!

Beaver

I didn't say that!

Yes, you did!

You did so!

Beaver

[scoffing] Well, I didn't mean to! You guys smelled it before way over there! I didn't know it was him!

Franklin

What Bear means is, when all the candies came out by accident, Bear didn't think about them belonging to you, Mr. Mole. And neither did I.

Beaver

Uh-huh.

Franklin

We came back to put our pennies in the empty machine, but that bent penny was still stuck in the slot.

And you were trying to get it out.

Franklin

I know. Who would believe a story like that? Nobody.

[laughing] I believe you.

What? I hardly believed that story myself, and I was in it.

I admit it may have sounded a little far-fetched coming from someone else, but quite believable coming from Franklin.

Beaver

How come?

Because he's made a habit of being honest, so I've made a habit of believing him.

Franklin

Thanks, Mr. Mole!
