Scenes with Mrs. Jenkins 47
What happened to your ankle, Grace?
F1Frank #1
Did you fall off a tree?
No, I hurt it, dancing. (And I fell and sprained it.)
Maybe it will get better before the show.
[Even though Nora thinks that Grace's sprained ankle may heal before the show, Grace says it won't. Then she breaks down because she cannot be in the show after breaking her ankle even though the talent show is on tonight. What she means by that is that it is on and she's not going due to her broken ankle.]
[sobs] No, it's not. I can't be in the show.
[Tears --which everyone will not be swayed by anymore-- roll down Grace's cheeks.]
Mrs. JenkinsI'm so sorry, Grace.
[in between tears] (I know.) But I practiced and practiced, Mrs. Jenkins. Now I can't dance. I can't even do anything.
[Two more tears roll down Grace's cheeks and she --Grace-- resumes crying.]
Mrs. Jenkins
We can think of something.
[stops crying and hears a plan or suggestion from Doris] I don't want to just watch.
[to Grace] Can you pull a curtain, Grace?
Of course, I can pull a curtain.
Well, then, you can help me.
[looking at Timothy] Okay. [smiles]
[Grace as a result is able to be in the talent show after all. But she's not able to do her talent. Instead, she's being Timothy's assistant]
[After the class --on the bus-- arrives at the science museum, Mrs. Jenkins and Ms. Appleberry get off the bus. Mrs. Jenkins gets off first, then, Ms. Appleberry comes off next to her. Next, she --Ms. Appleberry-- counts students off the bus as they --one by one-- get off the bus.]
Mrs. Jenkins
We are here, children. Quick sticks!
[counting] One, two, three, four...!
[When Ms. Appleberry says this, she counts Grace as number 1, Doris as number 2, Yoko as number 3, and Timothy as number 4. As the "count" pauses, Timothy --before getting off-- becomes excited.]
Oh boy! [gets off the bus] We are going to the museum. I cannot wait to go inside.
[It is revealed that Timothy's buddy/partner/teammate was Nora. In other words, "He was paired with Nora".]
Mrs. Jenkins
[to the rest of the class] Everybody, find your buddy.
[As Timothy races to the museum's double front doors --still thinking Nora is with him-- the scene cuts to Ms. Appleberry. And she continues counting. The students --one by one during the count-- get off the bus. And now, Ms. Appleberry is at numbers 9 and 10. That is, as she says...!]
[resumes counting --and makes it up to ten] (Five, six, seven, eight), nine, ten...! (Ten? Only ten?)
[Someone is missing even though Nora was supposed to be number 11. That is, as Mrs. Appleberry says...!]
[gasps and puts her palm to her nose in confusion] Oh, my! We are one short! Someone is missing! (It must be Nora! Where did she go?!)
[The scene cuts to Timothy. Remembering that he --Timothy-- had Nora as his buddy, he --Timothy-- says...!]
[At first, Timothy thinks that still he has Nora. But since she's scared and won't go in, he realizes that she isn't there.]
I really want to go, Timothy. But I am scared.
Mrs. Jenkins
Timothy? Nora? Is everything okay?
It is okay, Mrs. J. If Nora wants to stay on the bus with Henry, I should stay too.
But, Timothy, you love dinosaurs. You must go.
I am not going if you are not going.
[Everyone gasps if Nora is not going]
[changes her mind and decides to go] All right. But if you, Timothy, promise to hold my hand.
[Timothy scoops up Nora, cradles her, hugs her, and carries her.]
Mrs. Jenkins
Taking care of a pet is a big responsibility. I suggest we each take turns caring for Goldie.
F1Frank #1
You mean like walking it?
F2Frank #2
Yeah, and giving it a bath?
F2Frank #2
All right, no bath.
[Frank #1 and Frank #2 laugh and Claude stares at them in disbelief. Goldie is in her fish tank and looks at Lilly]
Mrs. Jenkins
All right, Who wants to go first?
Mrs. Jenkins
Lilly and Claude both want to go first. I suggest we take a vote.
It should be Claude, Lilly's forgetful. She wouldn't remember to feed him.
[Lilly frown is upside down]
[after Timothy puts the last piece into the puzzle]
[The puzzle shows a picture of a picnic]
That is one giant ice cream sundae.
Bright red balloons are my favorite.
[Mrs. Jenkins enters the classroom]
Mrs. Jenkins
Well done everyone!
Mrs. Jenkins
You certainly do. [checks her watch] Goodness me! It's almost lunch time.
But, What's our surprise!?
Mrs. Jenkins
[chuckles] Follow me, children.
[Everyone follows Mrs. Jenkins. outside the playground, everyone sees the surprise]
It looks like the puzzle!
[A real picnic appears just like the puzzle]
Mrs. Jenkins
Congratulations. You did a wonderful job.
We couldn't have done it without Timothy, Mrs. Jenkins.
Mrs. Jenkins
Nice job, Timothy. [Timothy smiles] Picnic time, everyone!
[Timothy, Yoko and the others went to the picnic table to have lunch. The camera zooms out of the picnic table as the episode ends]
Mrs. Jenkins
Lilly, where's your hat and scarf?
Um... [hears the school bus horn honk and watches as it rolls away] Oh, I forgot them on the bus. I'm not used to snow stuff. This is my first snow day.
Mrs. Jenkins
Oh, Lilly. We are going to have such fun. But first, let's just find you something warm to wear.
Mrs. Jenkins, Frank and Frank are telling scary stories.
Mrs. Jenkins
Lots of people tell stories about the Abominable Snowman, Doris. They even have different names for him, like Bigfoot and Yeti and Sasquatch.
Mrs. Jenkins
But they're just stories. There's nothing to worry about.
Mrs. Jenkins
[off-screen] Okay, everyone, [on-screen] who can tell me what we call Monday in Summer time?
[The kids, who were wearing their swimsuits --except Claude-- raise their hands up]
Mrs. Jenkins
Yes, Timothy.
Mrs. Jenkins
[off-screen] That's right. [on-screen] Swim Day is when we stop at Hilltop Park for a swim. [points to her student teacher Ms. Appleberry, who is in her swimsuit] And look who's here to help out.
EEveryone
[greets Ms. Appleberry the student teacher who is going to be part of the Swim Day field trip] MS. APPLEBERRY!
[Ms. Appleberry responds and greets back the children. She responds in a big, long, "GOOD MORNING".]
GOOD MORNING, BOYS AND GIRLS!
[This phrase --said by Ms. Appleberry-- was heard again, reused, and said a second time from a previous Season 1 episode --that being the episode "On the Fritz".)
Mrs. Jenkins
Quick sticks, children, I'm right behind you.
F1Frank #1
I'll race you.
F2Frank #2
Last one there!
Mrs. Jenkins
Slow down, so no running, Frank. Play safely.
[The Franks stop to run and looked at Mrs. Jenkins. They both continue running and run past Mrs. Appleberry]
[The Franks run towards the purple slide. They climb up and slide down into the water]
F1Frank #1 and Frank #2
[laughing]
F1Frank #1
Let's try backwards.
[The Franks run out of the pool]
[At school, Mrs. Jenkins hangs up pictures]
Mrs. Jenkins
These are all wonderful pictures, what fun we're going to have this summer.
[Mrs. Jenkins hangs up a picture of the Franks twins who are behind the garage. The camera moves to a picture of Claude swimming in the pool]
Look, Timothy, Claude's swimming. He must be taking lessons.
Yeah, he's pretty good. Although he doesn't even like getting his head wet.
Mrs. Jenkins
What is it, Doris?
The boys are building a tree fort, and they say it's for boys only.
Mrs. Jenkins
Oh. Well, at Hilltop School, we let everyone play.
We can play without the boys. We'll start our own club.
Get well soon, Mrs. Jenkins.
Mrs. Jenkins
What's this?
I made you something different.
[Fritz takes something out of the bag and it's a bird feeder; he had been planning to make a bird feeder all this time since the day before]
It's mostly bugs, leftovers and worms.
Mrs. Jenkins
Thank you, Fritz. I love it!
Mrs. Jenkins
This is just the thing I need to make me feel better.
[happily knows that Fritz's "junk plan" which was made from leftovers, bugs, and worms was for making a bird feeder all this time since the day before] Oh! A bird feeder. Fritz made a bird feeder.
[Fritz happily smiles]
Mrs. Jenkins
Now I can look at my birds along with my wonderful cards.
[At Fritz's bye-now party]
Mrs. Jenkins
[off-screen] All ears, children. [a present box sits on the table] Fritz, each of your friends has brought you something that you take with you to your new home.
[The Franks went to Fritz]
F1Frank #1
Here's a can of franks and beans so you won't forget us.
[Fritz holds a can of franks and beans]
F2Frank #2
Yeah, we were going to give you two cans, but uh...
F1Frank #1
We kinda ate the other one.
[Fritz puts the can into the box. Nora went to Fritz]
I made you a talking tube, So if you ever start missing me you can... JUST USE THIS!!
[Fritz put it in the box]
[clears her throat] "Goodbye Fritz, A poem by Grace. "Here at Hilltop School, we saw you everyday. So we'll never forget you, even you move away." [gives Fritz the poem] Bye Bye!
[Fritz puts the poem in the box]
This is from my cherry tree.
Put it in water as soon as you get to your new home.
[Yoko walks away from Fritz]
[Lilly shows Fritz the ribbon]
It's a ribbon. To tie around your finger So you won't forget me. [ties the ribbon on Fritz's finger]
I'll never forget you, Lilly.
[Lilly walks away. Doris show Fritz her painting]
I painted it just for you.
[Doris smiles and gives Fritz the painting. Charles holds a jar full of leaves]
This is for you, Fritz. You can keep bugs in it at your new house.
Wow, That's great. Thanks, Charles.
Here, It's a precise picture that I drew Hilltop school.
Thanks, Claude. It I'll help me remember all of you.
[Fritz puts the jar and the picture into the box]
[Fritz opens the wrapper and the box. It's Timothy's shell]
But Timothy, it's your favorite shell.
I know. I want you to have it.
Mrs. Jenkins
Is everything all right, Timothy?
Mrs. Jenkins
Well, tell me what you miss about him.
I miss playing shells together. I remember when we made beaches with him.
Mrs. Jenkins
Why don't you draw a picture of that.
[Grace sees Fritz's picture of a microscope and bugs and worms and says her gross statement out loud when Fritz used to collect bugs and worms.]
HE USED TO COLLECT GROSS THINGS LIKE BUGS AND WORMS!
[Grace --after saying this-- shakes her head in disgust and with disgusted face]
Mrs. Jenkins
[regarding to the episode "Get Well Soon"; an episode from the first season] That also reminds me of the time when I got hurt and Fritz made me a bird feeder.
Mrs. Jenkins
Is there something wrong, Nora?
Ooh, I hope he doesn't come near me!
