Dorothy Ann quotes from The Magic School Bus ... TV Quotes Database

Dorothy Ann

It's not purple, it's violet!

[The plexiglass items that the colors can bounce off of --in the pinball machine-- are a red tomato and a red maple leaf for red, an orange and an orange carrot for orange, a yellow banana, lemon, and sun for yellow, a green shamrock for green, a blue whale and a blue rubber boot for blue, and a bunch of purple grapes for violet. To represent lives/chances, it is white light pulses. The class --as the player-- gets six lives/chances to make the rainbow. If they succeed or fail, the game tells them how many lives/chances they have left. That is, before failing the game. They get six lives/chances to make the rainbow.]
