Franklin, Mrs. Turtle and others in “Unfinished Business”

Franklin

My fort is fixed. I'm all ready for Granny. What's the matter, Mom?

Granny has come down with a cold, Franklin. She can't come to babysit.

Franklin

Aww, poor Granny. So, I guess you can't go on your trip now.

No, we're still going. Mrs. Muskrat is coming to stay with you.

Franklin

MRS. MUSKRAT?!? But she's never babysat me before!

[about Mrs. Muskrat] Well, no, she hasn't. But she is our friend and she's very nice.

Franklin

I don't care. She's not Granny.

There's no one like Granny. I know. But Granny can't come. Besides, Mrs. Muskrat loves children.

Yes. She's a grandmother, too, and she talks about her grandchildren all the time. She's so good with them.

Franklin

She won't know the things I like to eat.

I'll make a list for her.

Franklin

But what about bedtime? She won't know the storybooks I like.

We can get them out for her right away.

I'll get the rest of the things loaded.
