[Nora explains about her day to her family --about her field trip to the Science Museum.]
NoraYou're right. And then we saw Tyrannosaurus Rex. He is as tall as our house.
[Nora becomes excited to go to the dinosaur museum again --this time wanting to see the dinosaurs with her family too.]
Nora[to her father] May we see the dinosaurs again? Please, Dad? My favorite is Megazostrodon.
[This scene regards to Yoko's Japanese lunches.]
[off-screen] How come no one wants to trade with me, Timothy? [on-screen] I don't understand. [opens the sushi box] Mama made all my favorite food.
[sees Yoko's favourite food which is sushi] The trouble with your favorite food is [off-screen] that it's no one else's favorite.
But nothing beats sushi. [holds the sushi with chopsticks] There's a tasty treasure inside every piece.
[sniffing; groans in disgust] It's green. It's seaweed.
[sniffing] Oh-no, please do not tell me that it's raw fish.
Watch out, it's moving.
NoraYecch-o-rama!
[off-screen] Why can't your mother make you something normal?
NoraI can't wait until the egg and spoon race! It's my favorite! What's your favorite, Claude?
Winning.
[shrugs his shoulders] Whatever.
[about the egg and spoon race part in the obstacle course] Children, I'm sorry to announce that the egg and spoon race has been cancelled (for this year's obstacle course on this year's obstacle course day). Because it's due to a misunderstanding.
[The Franks are eating boiled eggs while babbling]
Yeah, very sorry.
[Nora finds out the said race is cancelled from this year's field day due to a misunderstanding by the Franks. Then she turns to the Franks after they ate her favorite race in the obstacle course. Nora --offscreen-- pushes Charles --her partner-- aside. Then --onscreen-- she approaches the Franks. Then she says...!]
Nora[to the Franks] YOU ATE MY FAVORITE RACE!
[Both Nora and Charles glare at the Franks after they ate Nora's favorite race.]
[to Nora] Not to worry, Nora. There are many more other races.
Who wants some jelly sandwich? Jelly's good for jumping.
Yes, please.
NoraSure.
I do.
Me too.
Me too. Thanks, Timothy.
I'll have some, Timothy.
Would you like some of my jelly sandwich, Claude? There's lots of jumping in the obstacle course.
No, thank you. We don't need it.
[as Claude and Grace runs to the finish line, they stop to a giant mud puddle]
Mud! Eww!!
I'm not jumping in that.
It's disgusting! It will ruined my clothes.
NoraYahoo! yeah!
[Charles, Nora, Lily and Doris jumps into the mud. Charles is covered in mud]
Come on Grace, We're losing.
Yecch.
Well, go around it.
[Nora can't find her red shirt. She has looked in her dresser drawer and calls her mom about her red shirt after not finding it.]
NoraMama? Where is my red shirt? I had it on yesterday...!
[Nora's Dad --Ken-- he adds the part of how Nora wore her favorite red shirt to school the day before yesterday. That is, as he says...!]
And (you wore that shirt) on the day before that.
[After showing Nora her red shirt --even though he knows why it is her favorite-- he tells Nora why her red shirt that she had it on for three or four days before the said morning is in the laundry basket.]
It is dirty.
[Nora takes the red shirt out from the basket even though it is dirty. She wore that red shirt three or four days in a row. Now after three or four days, it is dirty]
It is time to change into something new, Nora.
[Nora does not want to change. Not liking change, she tries to grab her red shirt and argues that she doesn't want to and her red shirt is her favorite. That is, as she says...!]
NoraI do not want to change! It is my favorite!
[Ken takes the red shirt from Nora because it is strictly speaking dirty. But Nora still doesn't want to change. Ken, he says...!]
[in hopes that Nora is going to listen] Nora...?
NoraUh-uh!
Uh-huh.
NoraMama, why do things have to change?
If things didn't change, you'd still be a baby like Jack. Everything changes.
[The sound of the Henry's bus horn honks]
Except for the school bus, that's always the same.
What are you making?
NoraAngry crocodiles.
[giggles] Guess what I'm making.
NoraA big mess. ... Okay, what is it?
It's a tree. You want to see?
[Nora runs through the hall ways]
NoraI'm going to play on the swings.
No, we are.
NoraNo, I am.
No, we are!
NoraNo, I am!
Ooh. you're a good shouter.
Yeah, you're the best shouter.
NO, I AM!!!
NoraNO, I AM!!!
[Mrs. Jenkins walks through the halls]
[tells Nora and the Franks to have their big voices outside] Big voices outside if you please.
NoraWhere were you at recess?
I was playing with Charles.
NoraCharles doesn't like to play with anyone. He's shy.
Hmm, he wasn't shy at recess.
[Henry is washing the bus until he can hear everyone practicing music]
There's nothing like music class to help get the chores done. [chuckles]
[The hose sprays him. Inside the school building, Mrs. Jenkins plays the xylophone]
One, two. One, two. One, two. That's right, children.
[Everybody are playing their instruments. Yoko is playing her violin]
Yoko practice her music everyday.
She sounds good.
[As Yoko plays the violin, she make an awful note]
Why is everybody looking at me?
Wow!
You're good, Yoko.
NoraYeah.
Well done, everyone, and well done, Yoko.
What happened to your ankle, Grace?
I hurt it.
Did you fall off a tree?
No, I hurt it, dancing. (And I fell and sprained it.)
NoraMaybe 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.]
I'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.]
We can think of something.
You can watch.
[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]
I know lots of dinosaurs, but I think T-Rex is the best. He's the king of all dinosaurs.
Diplodocus was like a submarine. He can stay underwater forever because he had a nose on top of his head.
I like Pterodactyl. She can fly, and she sleeps hanging upside down.
I like Stegosaurus.
Yeah, he had the brain of a meatball.
[The Franks begin to laugh]
Brachiosaurus had a really stretchy, long neck to reach the highest trees. Which dinosaur do you like best, Nora?
NoraUmm... well... I... uh...
[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.]
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".]
[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...!]
Where is Nora?
[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.]
Here she is.
NoraI really want to go, Timothy. But I am scared.
Timothy? Nora? Is everything okay?
It is okay, Mrs. J. If Nora wants to stay on the bus with Henry, I should stay too.
NoraBut, Timothy, you love dinosaurs. You must go.
I am not going if you are not going.
[Everyone gasps if Nora is not going]
Nora[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.]
