Franklin Season 1 quotes

Beaver

You may be called Speedy at the pond, but you're pokey at the playground.

Pokey! That's a good name!

Beaver

Are you going to be it again, Pokey? Or is Snacks going to be it this time? [laughs]

Franklin

I don't like being called "Pokey"!

And I don't like the name "Snacks" either!

Beaver

[chuckles] Come on, Bear! It's just for fun!

It's fun for you, but it hurts my feelings! You wouldn't like it if I called you "Chomper"!

Franklin

You do chew your pencils a lot.

Beaver

[gasps] I can't help it if I chew on my pencils! Everyone in my family does!

[laughs] Chomper!

Beaver

What are you laughing at, Long-ears?!

I have an idea. Why don't we pick our OWN nicknames? Then we won't have names we don't like.

Franklin

I like that idea, Bear.

Good thinking.

Yeah!

Good idea, Bear!

Thanks.

Hi, Franklin! You're all muddy!

Franklin

[despondent] I know.

What's the matter, son?

Franklin

Bear got a home run.

You're unhappy about that?

Franklin

I'm unhappy because he hit my ball right into the pond! I tried to find it, but I couldn't.

Oh dear, the fish have another ball to play with.

Franklin

Yeah, and this one was like new.

Well, son, I have some news that might cheer you up.

Franklin

What?

Someone is coming here for a visit!

A friend you haven't seen for a long time.

Franklin

Who?

Otter!

Franklin

[perking up] Otter? Coming here?

That's right! Tomorrow morning!

Franklin

YAY! YIPPEE! Otter's coming! Otter's coming! I've gotta find all the games we used to play! Wait, I should go and tell Bear! No, I'd better clean my room first!

[chuckles] That certainly cheered him up.

Yes, I've never seen him hurry up to clean his room with a smile on his face.

And there's Otter again, making us laugh.

Franklin

She was always making us laugh.

Franklin

What are you doing?

The Elm Wood Avenue handshake.

[sighs] Didn't this used to be more fun?

Franklin

That's what I was thinking.

Hello, Franklin. Hello, Bear.

Franklin

Hi, Mrs. Heron.

Hello.

Hello, Mrs. Heron. Remember me?

[pushes her glasses] Well, of course I do. Hello, Weasel. Nice to see you too.

Weasel? She doesn't remember who I am.

Maybe her glasses are just dirty.

A lot of things have changed around here, but having good friends like you guys hasn't changed at all.

[who can't hear because he's wearing an astronaut helmet] What's so funny?

Franklin

Mr. Owl said today is "Haturday."

I pledge to fly straight and true and live by the rules of the forest.

Why don't you start by telling the class you're a philatelist.

Franklin

[confused] I'm a turtle, Dad.

You have to find your own collection, Franklin.

Franklin

What if it takes me all weekend?

Then you'll have lots to talk about on Monday.

I've run out of ideas, Franklin.

Franklin

Yeah, me, too. I guess I don't have anything for show-and-tell.

Franklin

No, they're right. This isn't really a collection.

Sure it is.

Franklin

But they're just rocks.

I see some feldspar, sandstone and quartz.

Franklin

Gee, there's a lot to know about these rocks.
