Mr. Mole quotes from Franklin

I dare say caterpillars can climb wherever they want.

[puts a card down] Snap! [laughing]

Another game, Mr. Mole?

[as he prepares for another round] Well... [accidentally drops the cards] whoops! Looks like we're playing 52 pick-up.

[sees Franklin who is home after hanging out with his friends] Aw, Franklin, you're just in time. Want to help us play?

Franklin

Sure, Dad.

[off-screen] Oh, [on-screen] thank you, young Franklin. I'd best be getting home, anyway.

Stay for lunch, Mr. Mole?

[heads to the front door] Love to, but, things to do, you know.

Franklin

Going swimming, Mr. Mole?

Me, swimming? [laughing] Why goodness, no, not me. Bye for now, [continues his way to the front door] and thanks again for the great game of cards.

[off-screen] Anytime. [opens the door] See you soon.

[off-screen] Swimming. [chuckling]

Franklin

And someone even bought my fly cookies.

Mmm... raisins. I love 'em.

[in the next scene] Presenting… the Amazing Franklini!

[chuckles] A traveling magic show, how exciting!

[watches Franklin holding a towel behind his legs and stands on one making him look like he' on only one foot] Ta-da!

Well, I'll be. Way to go!

I'm going on a holiday tomorrow.

Lucky you.

Franklin

So that's three things to remember. Collect the mail, fill the birdbath and water the petunias.

And that's every day. No forgetting your duties now.

Thanks to your help, Franklin, the garden looks even better than before.

Franklin

Well, I do have two green thumbs.

Franklin

Hello, Mr. Mole.

Franklin? It is you under there.

This time I'm going to be ready if there's a fire. It won't catch me off-guard.

Franklin

My mom and dad are ready too, Mr. Mole. Aren't you?

Yes we are, Franklin.

And thanks to our fire drill, now you are too.

Can we eat these?

Go ahead. That's what cherries are for.

Thanks!

Well, it sounds to me that you helped the community a lot today, Franklin.

Franklin

I did?

Yes. You helped your friends help others and that's an important job too.

Franklin

Yes! I did do a good job!

Mr. Owl, would you and your community helpers like to come to my house for some cookies and lemonade?

Well that sounds like a very generous idea, Mr. Mole. What else can I say but "YES!!"

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!
