Ginny quotes from Shining Time Station

Stacy

Ginny, please, just try to calm down and tell us what happened.

Well, you know my dog.

Stacy

Yes. The one you renamed Mr. Filthy?

Well, this time, he's really gone and done it. I took the turkey outta the oven, and he's lookin' at it like a pointer. And I thought: "That's kinda cute", when all of a sudden, he lunged, attacked, ran out the back door with it and tore it to shreds! [frets] And now, I don't have a turkey.

Kara

Mr. Filthy is a bad dog.

From now on, his new name is Mr. Get-Outta-There. What am I gonna do? My nephew and his wife are comin' for dinner.

Stacy

You know something? There's a place in Dillylick that has pre-cooked turkeys, and I'm sure they're open for at least another half an hour.

I can't make it to Dillylick.

Billy

You could if I took you there.

You'd do that for me?!

Billy

Sure.

[sets to leave] Oh, come on. Let's go. Time's a-wastin'!

Okay, I admit it! I admit it! I don't know anything about camping! But please! Please! Please keep that mountain lion away from me!

Mountain lion? There are no mountain lions in this neck of the woods.

Yes, there are! It's a mountain lion! It had a big furry tail, and little eyes, and little tiny legs, and... [imitates chomping] Chompin' on nuts.

Stacy

Oh, Schemer. That does not sound like a mountain lion. To me, it sounds like a squirrel.

A squirrel? [calms down] Well, it sure looked like a mountain lion.

Stacy

Okay, Schemer. Why don't you come here and sit down with us? We'll get you dry, get you something to eat.

Oh, no, no. I don't want anymore food. I'm too full. I think I ate too many sandwiches.

Kara

Hey, Schemer, how'd you get out of the creek?

Gettin' outta the creek was easy. Gettin' outta the swamp-- Now, that was hard! I pulled myself up by this branch, but then it got really scary and everything, 'cause it was dark, and I was... [sobs hysterically] I thought I was a goner, and then that was it. I thought I'd never see Schemer again. But then I heard this little whistle.

Stacy

A little whistle?

Yeah. It was like this little whistle, and I didn't know where the heck the sound came from. So I start following the sound of this little whistle, I'm going through the woods, and all of a sudden, here I am at Shining Time Station. But I was kind of afraid to come in, because I kinda thought that the kids wouldn't wanna see the old Schemer again.

Stacy

Well, Schemer, it sounds like you learned your lesson the hard way.

Yeah. Never go campin' without my mommy. I'm a failure.

Vandalism! Can you imagine that? Right in our own backyard!

You know, I can't understand why anyone would deface public property.

Stacy

What happened?

Somebody spray-painted all over the baseball scoreboard.

Stacy

Are you sure?

This is a new low for our valley.

Who would do such an awful thing?

[walks in] Hey, Stacy. Have you seen Billy?

Stacy

Oh, uh... Yes, Kit. He's waiting for you at the ball park.

Thank you. [leaves the lobby]

My goodness, Ginny! What in the world is Schemer doing?

Looks like he's mowin' the lawn.

Oh, isn't that nice?
