PhoebeHow was I supposed to know that she'd have digestive scuba gear?
PhoebeHang on, everybody!
Phoebe TereseAt My Old School...
PhoebeI might have made a mistake about that lizard. And I might have made a mistake about that jackrabbit. And I might have even made a mistake about that tortoise, but there's one thing I know I'm not wrong about.
How much you wish you'd stayed home today?
PhoebeAt my old school we never got baked. except for the time the air conditioning went.
We're toast!
Well, Technically, No, But you've got the right idea.
PhoebeIt's a good thing you didn't stay home today, Arnold.
[While Phoebe says this, Arnold is still concerned about Dr. Skeledon's fossilized Maiasaura egg. And Arnold, he says...!]
Well, I am sure going to be happy when this is back to a rock again. It's a lot safer.
We know the real reason why you make a complete wimp like a butterfly as a mascot.
PhoebeYou do?
We do?
Isn't today's soccer game against... your old school?
Phoebe[about to shrink the class] Well uh, here goes. Say "fly."
Fly!
PhoebeWe have to get to that trap before the praying mantis does!
Don't feel bad, Phoebe. Only a giant spider could trap that general.
PhoebeYes! Arnold, you're a genius! Isn't he, Ms. Frizzle?
His idea certainly has legs.
But, uh...I was just joking.
C'mon, bus. Do your stuff!
I was just joking!
PhoebeThis hairpin won't break. It's strong.
And hairpins are easy to carry.
[Phoebe has been transformed into a bean plant]
PhoebeYou mean I'm a bean plant?
Not a very big one though.
And you don't have very many leaves.
PhoebeHey, give me a break. I've only been a plant for a few seconds.
It can happen, Inspector. But in this case, nothing has been ruined.
It hasn't?
PhoebeNo. We can repair the link between peccaries and cocoa beans by returning things to the way they were. Can't we?
Why couldn't our mission be water like Ms. Rivers' class?
Yeah. At least water does something.
[Keesha sighs, then a volcano project is shown]
Wow! That's fantastic!
It's called, "Everything you've always wanted to know about rocks." Neat, huh?
Solid!
PhoebeIt's great!
Really amazing!
[Keesha sighs again]
Maybe he ran out of sea wheedies and had to go to the store for more.
I can't believe he actually eats those things.
PhoebeHe hasn't been able to eat anything else since he was going to win the rocky award.
Tim, Carlos, D.A, are you all right?
