I dare say caterpillars can climb wherever they want.
S1 E15Unfinished Business
I should have made the roof out of something else.
Yeah. Not salad.
Look what this caterpillar did to my garden.
It didn't do it on purpose, Franklin. That's what caterpillars do.
[reading the story; Goldilocks and the Three Bears] "And then Mother Bear said "Someone's been eating my porridge!""
[The students laugh]
"And then Baby Bear saw that his bowl was empty and he began to cry."
I'd be glad if someone ate my bowl of porridge.
And I'd be glad if someone ate my symbol of porridge.
[Franklin and Snail both laugh]
Franklin, Snail, it's not talking time, it's listening time.
You guys have to play fair, or you can't play at all.
Fine, we won't play at all then.
This is a really bad day.
Is it ever? It's like we can't do anything right.
I know! It just isn't fair! Are we getting close to where we're going?
I don't know. Where are we going?
There's the tree fort path!
Yeah, let's go there!
Your father and I would miss you if you (and Snail) went to live in the tree fort.
[gives her a hug] Yeah, I'd miss you too. And your cookies!
Heh heh heh heh. [hands him the cookie jar] How can I say no after a nice hug like that?
Thanks, Mom.
There's never anything to do on rainy days, is there, Goldie?
The instructions don't make sense.
Bear will be glad to see more. He's probably even more bored than I am.
Franklin, I can't keep thinking of things for you to do. You should have some ideas of your own.
There's nothing to do, no one will play with me and I'm really, really bored. [Mr. Turtle and Mrs. Turtle stare at him] Well, I am.
Have a seat here, Franklin.
We're not sitting down to play dominoes, are we?
No, we're not. We're going to have a little talk. Franklin, everyone has to learn how to play alone some of the time.
That's right. Your friends can't be around to entertain you all the time, and neither can we.
If you'd invited one of your friends over to play, you wouldn't have any trouble finding something fun to do, right?
Yeah, there's always great stuff when you've got someone to play with.
With your great imagination, I'm sure you and yourself will have lots of fun.
Are there any questions?
[Franklin begins to raise his hand]
No, it's easy.
If I were you, Franklin, I'd buy a watch.
[sighs, to himself] What good is a watch if you can't tell time?
