Mrs. Turtle quotes from Franklin

Franklin

I'll never be able to ride without training wheels.

Sure you will, Franklin.

Franklin

Never!

Franklin

Mom, where's my leg armor?

I don't know. Wherever you put it last, I guess.

Franklin

[after he finishes tidying up his bedroom] Done!

Now that's how you tidy up a room.

Sam will be fine. If your father doesn't find him, I'm sure someone else will.

Franklin

That's what I'm afraid of. Finders keepers.

The school play.

And you're the prince.

Franklin

That's me.

Do you have a lot of lines?

Franklin

16 and a half lines! I counted.

Hi, Franklin. You're home early today.

Franklin

Whatever.

Do you think your parents will buy you one?

Franklin

Sure, why not?

[in the next scene] We said "No, Franklin."

When no one was looking, he turned on his night-light.

Franklin

Night-light?

Fireflies. See how brightly they glow?

You can tell you're growing up because you can count by twos and tie your shoes.

Franklin

It's not the same.

Ready for some shoo-fly stew?

Franklin

You bet. If Dad didn't eat it all.

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.

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

[not at all asleep] Baby sister?!

I love you, Franklin.

Franklin

And I love you, too, Mom.
