Nora quotes from Timothy Goes to School

Fritz

[explains about his model] This is my heart and lungs. And all my thinking goes up here in my brain.

[After Nora sees what Fritz made in his craft model --which was body parts-- she says...!]

Nora

[stinks --pinches-- her nose in disgust] EW!

[Nora thinks her team mate --Fritz-- was being sickening. But Mrs. Jenkins still like it.]

Charles

What's it like to be big?

Doris

I don't know.

Charles

But you're the biggest in the class.

Doris

There are a lot of other times when I'm the smallest.

Charles

Like when?

Doris

Like all the time at home. I'm the smallest in my family.

Charles

Really? You're the smallest?

Doris

Uh-huh, I'm even too small to ride the bumper cars at the fair. I have to watch my brothers drive past, and stick their tongues out at me. They call me a shrimp! It made me so mad!

Charles

Hmm, I just don't like being called a shrimp either. If I see your big brothers sticking their tongues out, I'll tell them to stop it.

Doris

Thanks, Charles! [to Claude's figure] What do you think about that, Mr. Big Shot?!

[Charles and Doris giggle]

Doris

Do you want to come play at my house after school?

Charles

Okay.

[As for Nora, she loses this because Charles is at Doris's house. So she --Nora-- postpones it --the long talking-to-- until tonight. That is, even though it was supposed to be for this afternoon after school.]

Nora

(Charles is going to Doris's house?! Well, I am talking to him about this "lie" and "being bigger" status tonight. And I did say, "Sometime after school".)

[Nora and Charles both get permission from their parents, their teacher Mrs. Jenkins, and their principal to break into the school so Nora and Charles can use the school over the weekend. That is, so Nora can talk to Charles about Charles's incident for a serious conversation. That is, both her --Nora-- and Charles. And Charles is going to be sitting on Nora's lap and doing nothing but the "serious conversation".]

Nora

I don't see it.

Nora

Found it.

[Nora gets her "butterscotch pudding" which is in the green container from the fridge. Not seeing that it is Jack's baby food, she thinks it's her "pudding" for dessert.]

[To trade desserts, Timothy got Fritz's chocolate cake, while Fritz got Timothy's apple crisp. But Nora does not want to trade. Unlike Timothy and Fritz, she does not want to switch. And at this she does not want to trade her pudding for cookies brought from the Franks, apple crisp by Timothy, nor chocolate cake by Fritz. Nora is unaware that she has grabbed Jack's baby food.]

Nora

[to the Franks] (Nah!) I am not trading my pudding for anything.

[Nora --still unaware that she has Jack's baby food-- she spoons into her "butterscotch pudding" and takes one bite of it. She is still unaware that she has Jack's baby food, until she takes a bite out of it after thinking it was her "pudding". After one bite, she sticks out her tongue in disgust.]

Nora

It doesn't taste like butterscotch!

[Nora --after saying this-- smacks her lips.]

Nora

YUCK!

[Nora spits afterwards. That is, as Nora continues of what she just ate --and thought it was her "pudding". She finishes spitting and then says...!]

Nora

[continues --and after she finishes spitting] AND IT DOES NOT EVEN TASTE LIKE PUDDING!

[That is, after Nora's reaction when she took a bite from her "pudding", realized that her "pudding" was not really pudding, and smacked her lips from the baby food taste.]

Fritz

It doesn't look like pudding either.

[Nora's "pudding" is not really pudding. When she smells it, it smells like baby food. It's really her baby brother Jack's baby food though she had thought it was pudding. And therefore, she realizes that she grabbed Jack's baby food by accident rather than her pudding. When she smells it, it is Jack's baby food. After smelling it, she pinches up her nose from the baby food smell in disgust.]

Nora

[through pinched-up nose] UGH!

[Nora tells Timothy, Fritz, and the Franks it is not pudding but what it really is]

Nora

IT IS JACK'S BABY FOOD!

[It is really her baby brother Jack's baby food. It is not pudding. At this, Nora for the second time at school has mentioned her baby brother Jack after grabbing his baby food instead of her pudding by accident. She did not know she had Jack's baby food when she tried to grab her pudding that morning.]

[Frank #2 is disgusted about Nora bringing baby food, he declines to trade or share any of his cookies with someone who would ever bring baby food.]

[Frank #2 pushes back his cookies in disgust.]

[Frank #1 also pushes back his cookies in disgust. After seeing that Nora almost got sick from eating Jack's baby food --which she had accidentally got after mistaking it for her butterscotch pudding-- the reason why they both decline sharing/trading any of their cookies for baby food is because they do not want to be sick. That is, despite seeing that Nora almost got sick from eating Jack's baby food. Nora --after lunch-- then --from offscreen-- washes down the baby food taste with a glass of water.]

Nora

I'm not drawing him on my poster.

Nora

I'm tired of having a little brother. He's always crying or making a mess or breaking things. Isn't he?

[At this, Nora has mentioned Jack for the third time.]

Nora

That's because you don't have one.

[Ruby --from offscreen-- sees Samantha --Timothy's mom-- at the front door ready to pick up Timothy. Timothy is unaware that his mom is here. And in this scene, Samantha and Ruby --from offscreen-- approaches the kids Timothy and Nora. Timothy is still unaware until Ruby --Nora's mom-- says his mom --Samantha-- is here to pick him up. And after Ruby --from offscreen-- has met Timothy's mother --who is ready to pick up Timothy from Nora's house-- she tells him that his mom is here to pick him up. Ruby walks Samantha over to Timothy who is playing with Nora in Nora's living room. And then, Ruby --from offscreen-- says to Timothy...!]

[After Jack scribbles on one of Nora's pictures --with one of Nora's crayons-- Nora enters the living room. She finds Jack and gasps.]

Nora

[gasps] JACK!

[Nora runs over to Jack. The scene cuts to Jack --who is still scribbling on Nora's picture. That is with a red crayon. He stops scribbling.]

Nora

[tries to stay calm, but regards about her picture] Oh, you have ruined my poster!

[Cut back to Jack, Jack --who hears that Nora has blamed him for scribbling on her picture-- cries.]

[Then back to Nora.]

Nora

[calls her mom in] MAMA!

[Ruby --Nora's mom-- comes in.]

Nora

Jack scribbled all over my poster!

Nora

It is ruined!

[After welcoming Juanita --the new student-- by Mrs. Jenkins and the rest of the class and before singing "The Welcome Song".]

Mrs. Jenkins

[before starting circle] Nora? Can you walk over Juanita and her mother to two front row seats.

Nora

Okay.

[Nora takes Juanita and her mother by the hands and walks them over to the circle for front row seats. That is, as she --Nora-- says...!]

Nora

[to Juanita and her mother] This way, if you please.
