Hey, how come I have to...
Everyone in your positions!

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Oh no, I almost forgot, I have to... Water mom's geraniums. [walks away]
I've, um, got my school project to finish. [crawls away]
Which reminds me, I've got to, uh, go, and, uh...! I just gotta go. [rolls down a small hill]
RRabbit
And, I have to help her. [flees away]
FFox
[off-screen] Piano practice!
[Fox runs into the bushes and Bear is the only one left who didn't leave just yet]
Oh, well, guess it's just you and me now, Bear.
BBear
[to Franklin] Sorry Franklin, nature calls. [walks away]
Well, then, guess I'll go home. [heads home]
[In Franklin's home, the turtle household; Mr. Turtle and Mr. Mole are playing a game of cards in the kitchen]
[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?
Sure, Dad.
[Franklin picks up a few cards that Mr. Mole have dropped and puts them on the kitchen table]
[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.
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]
[Mr. Turtle close the door off-screen as Franklin picks up the cards]
You always pitch! That's it! Do this, do that! You're just too bossy, Franklin!
FFox
Yeah, you're way too bossy.
Beaver's kind of right, you know.
It would be neat to choose stuff, just once.
You don't think I'm too bossy, do you, Bear?
BBear
Um, I'm afraid you are, Franklin. Playing with you just isn't fun anymore.
Fine! See if I care!
BBear
Aww, Franklin, come back!
Too bossy, huh? That's what they think! You don't think I'm too bossy, do you, Sam? I'll take that as a no.
Uh, hi, guys. What you doing?
Nothing!
I just wanted to apologize because sometimes I'm too bossy.
Sometimes?!?
Well, I'm sorry and I'll try to not be bossy anymore.
BBear
Aww, that's okay, Franklin. We're really glad you're back to play. Right, Beaver?
Maybe...
Bossy or not, it's more fun when you're around.
Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. But more than anything, Franklin wanted a place he and his friends could call their very own.
You know my Dad. He likes to keep everyone busy.
That's a very ambitious fort. I hope you're not going to do it in the backyard.
Let's do it at my house.
BBear
No way. Your Dad always gives us jobs to do.
I don't think this is such a good idea.
You keep saying it's not such a good idea, Mr. Grumpyfuss, but you don't say why.
This is my last chance. I've got to do it now.
Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He was also good at seeing things that others missed. And one day, Franklin found something special.
It's Beaver into her stretch. She checks the runners and... oops.
It's yours. You found it. Finders keepers.
BBear
Hi, Franklin. Just snacking on a few berries.
A few? A few hundred is more like it.
